Zhongmu, located between Guancheng (now Zhengzhou, the capital of Henan Province) and Chenliu, is a place that has been contested by all dynasties. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the Spring and Autumn Period, Lu Xuangong once met the princes in Yilin to attack Zheng; In the sixteenth year of King Wei Hui, the grandson of Qin attacked Zhengwei Jiaocheng; During the Warring States period, Qin Qi attacked Wei and entered the fifth country. 囿中, that is, another name for Zhongmu...... Over the millennium, there have been numerous wars in this land. Now, Zhongmu will also usher in another great war, a war of the century that will determine the fate of the north and affect future generations......

200 A.D., February 16.

The majestic ancient city of Zhongmu is like a giant beast in the night, crawling on the side of the fields.

The city has become a military town, stretching for dozens of miles, with flags waving and camps lined up, revealing a soaring murderous atmosphere.

Zhang He and Tian Fang couldn't help but gasp.

It was only at this time that they figured out Cao ***'s true intentions.

I thought that Cao *** was going to fight a decisive battle with Yuan Shao in Yanjin, but I never thought that the real decisive battle was here.

After the carriage and horses arrived in Zhongmu, someone immediately came to greet them.

Cao Peng was greeted by Sima Xiahou Shang, the former marching army of the Changshui Battalion.

"Ah Fu, the lord has been waiting for a long time."

Xiahou is still polite, and there are not many words.

However, he was very kind to Cao Peng, and there was a sense of respect between his words.

Cao Peng returned the salute, pointed at Zhang He and Tian Fang, and whispered a few words in Xiahou Shang's ear, Xiahou Shang glanced at the two of them, and immediately showed a strange smile.

"Come with me, two."

Xiahou Shang did not take the two into the city, but led them straight to a barracks outside the city.

Tian Fang didn't dare to say anything more at this time, 'I am from the Julu Tian clan', and together with Zhang He, he entered the military camp with Xiahou Shang.

"What does the little general want to lead me to?"

"I'll show you an acquaintance...... I am afraid that my lord will not be able to summon you today, but you will stay here now, and tomorrow I will be able to do so. ”

"So, there is General Lao."

Zhang He was polite, but he thought in his heart: Who is the acquaintance?

Xiahou Shang relied on the military card in his hand, unimpeded in the camp, and went straight to the Chinese army's big tent.

A junior colonel was about to stop him, but he saw Xiahou Shang holding a military sign and said, "Please pass the general to Changci, just say that there is an old man coming." ”

Zhang He, who was standing behind Xiahou Shang, was a chilling cicada.

Changci, isn't the Changci that Xiahou Shang said, is it Gao Lan?

In the four courtyard pillars of Hebei, Zhang He has the best relationship with Gao Ran. Neither of them belongs to the kind of people who are full of force, they focus more on marching and fighting, and studying the art of war. The common hobby also made the two have a very close friendship...... Previously, in Yanjin, Zhang He heard that Gao Ran was captured and wanted to rescue him. It's just that Cao Peng hit and left at that time, and Zhang He felt that when he was in the Shili camp, there was no trace of Cao Peng and others. Wen Chou was killed, so much so that Zhang He thought that Gao Ran's life would not be guaranteed.

Could it be ......

Just at this moment's hesitation, a familiar figure appeared in front of the military tent door.

"Junyi?"

The familiar voice came into Zhang He's ears, making Zhang He even more excited. He took three steps and two steps, rushed to the medium-sized man, opened his arms and hugged a bear, and called excitedly: "Changci, you are still alive...... I want to hurt me. ”

Tian Fang was on the side, dumbfounded.

"General Changci, the lord ordered General Zhang and the two to temporarily live in your camp tonight, and they will be summoned early tomorrow morning."

"Thank you, Boren!"

Gao Ran hurriedly thanked Xiahou Shang, and after sending Xiahou Shang away, he pulled Zhang He and walked inside, saying as he walked: "Junyi, I was about to send someone to inform you, but I didn't expect you to come...... By the way, how did you end up here? Could it be that he was also captured? ”

Zhang He's face flushed, and he stopped, "Changci, you arrange your words first." ”

Gao Ran was stunned and glanced at Tian Fang.

He knew that Tian Fang was Zhang He's deputy, and Zhang He had always been close to Tian Fang.

Originally, he wanted Zhang Hetian Fang to enter the military tent together to speak, but listening to Zhang He's tone, it didn't seem to be the case...... The two seem to be a little estranged. But Gao Ran and Zhang He have a closer relationship, so Tian Fang ...... Gao Ran nodded, beckoned to follow, and took Tian Fang to the small camp next door to rest.

Tian Fang couldn't help but lament in his heart: It seems that his life in Cao Ying will not be too easy.

Just like he betrayed Zhang He before, Zhang He categorically couldn't restore his friendship with him as before.

Maybe I'm too eager for quick success!

Tian Fang sighed and rested with his soldiers like a small tent.

"Junyi, why are you here?"

After taking a seat in the big tent, Gao Ran immediately asked.

Zhang He's face was gloomy, "You better explain to me first, what's going on with you?" ”

Gao Ran showed embarrassment, sighed lightly, and said, "This matter is a long story......

So, he ripped off the conversation and began to tell what happened to him for more than a month. From the pursuit of Cao Peng, to the later killing of Wenchou in Shiliying, he was captured, there was no concealment, and Zhang He was informed in 1510.

"I originally wanted to die to serve Yuan Gong, but Cao Gong's words made me change my mind.

Cao Gong said, I am the son of the Han family, even if I repay, I should serve the Son of Heaven, not Yuan Shao...... I refused to bow my head at first, but Cao Gong treated me very kindly. Later, I suddenly woke up, if the son is still alive today, Cao Gong is not subordinate to the order of the Son of Heaven, but follows the sky, on the other hand, Yuan Gong...... So I returned to Cao Gong, and now I am a general in the army, temporarily leading a school...... Don't blame me, Junyi. ”

Zhang He, silent!

Do it go with the sky, or do it against the sky?

Since ancient times, this kind of thing has been said to be justified by the public, and the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law is reasonable.

However, no matter what, Cao *** is in the name of orthodoxy after all. On the contrary, it was Yuan Shao......

In Zhang He's mind, he couldn't help but echo the words that Cao Peng said to him on the way here. thought that he was originally under Han Fu, and then returned to Yuan Shao, although Yuan Shao treated him well, he always felt a kind of estrangement. Even if Yuan Shao later named him the general of Ning Guozhonglang, it can't explain anything. That's the reward he deserves! Under Yuan Shao's account, the dumping was very heavy, and Zhang He was often cautious.

Even so, Yuan Shao was still suspicious of him?

He sighed and said softly: "Don't hide it, I, like you, was also captured. ”

"Taken prisoner by whom?"

Zhang He smiled bitterly and did not answer.

Gao Ran was stunned and said, "No, you were also captured by that Cao Peng?" ”

"Therefore, you and I are really brothers, and even the people who captured us are the same person."

In this sentence, although there is a sense of joking, there is also endless bitterness. Zhang He explained what happened to Tacun and Gao Lan one by one, and finally said: "I don't blame Yusheng for finding another way out, it's just his actions...... When I see Cao Gong tomorrow, I will be strangers to him.

Changci, do you think Cao Gong ...... Can you really do great things? ”

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Zhongmu, the county seat.

As soon as Cao Peng entered Zhongmu, he felt a strong murderous aura.

Stationed in the city were the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and the Armed Guards. Because of more than half of the casualties, the Tiger Army has become Cao ***'s personal guard, stationed in the inner house.

In other words, although Dian Wei is still the general of the Tiger Ben, in fact, the Tiger Ben Army no longer exists.

The tiger and leopard cavalry were stationed on the periphery, the armed guards went out of the town, and the tiger guards were responsible for guarding the palace.

The protection of the inner three layers and the outer three layers makes the small mansion of Zhongmu look particularly strict.

Cao Peng ordered Hao Zhao and others to camp first, and he took Xiahoulan and Han De to the mansion. Outside the mansion, Dianman was on duty, and when he saw Cao Peng coming, he immediately responded enthusiastically, and after a warm bear hug with Cao Peng, he punched Cao Peng fiercely.

"Ah Fu, how are you?"

"It's just flesh wounds...... Third brother, can the lord be inside? ”

"My lord is resting at this time, but there was an order for you to go see him as soon as you return."

As he spoke, Dianman took Cao Peng inside.

And Xiahou Lan and Han De rested in the gatehouse.

Passing through the gate of the middle pavilion, Cao Peng and Dianman came to the backyard. I saw that the apricot blossoms in this garden had bloomed, exuding a faint fragrance of flowers......

Cao *** is sleeping in the flower hall.

Hearing that Cao Peng had arrived, he immediately ordered Cao Peng to meet him.

In the flower hall, the light is very abundant, reflecting on Cao ***'s body.

He looked a little haggard, presumably from a long day's work.

"Uncle, you have to pay attention to your body."

Cao Peng couldn't help but persuade softly, which made Cao *** laugh heartily.

"Out of the way, out of the way...... But Ah Fu, you fought all night, and your body can recover? ”

"It's already great!"

Cao *** pulled Cao Peng to sit down, looked up and down, and his eyes were full of appreciation.

"I've brought you here in such a hurry, I'm sure you'll be able to guess some clues. According to the detailed report, Yuan Shao has settled in the sour jujube and will go south to Zhongmu in the near future. In the battle of Yanjin, I was originally worried that Yuan Benchu would be scared and did not dare to go south...... Who knows, he actually imprisoned Fu Zhu and insisted on going south to attack Xu Du. Hehe, if he follows the frustration plan, I'm really a little hard to deal with! ”

Cao Peng listened quietly and did not speak.

Frustrated, I was still caught!

This is also the only guy who can threaten the victory or defeat of Guandu.

Yuan Shao's imprisonment of Fu Zhi was equivalent to cutting off both of his arms. It seems that the battle of Guandu is still developing according to the trajectory of history, and I have no need to worry.

"Uncle, why did Yuan Shao imprison Fu Zhu?"

Cao *** sneered, "Without him, pour your ears." ”

"Oh?"

According to the news that came back from the investigation, after Yuan Shaoxiaotan was defeated, Guo Tu offered slander.

Fu Zecong once again offered advice, suggesting that Yuan Shao abandon Xudu and attack Yanzhou. But Yuan Shao disagreed...... Frustrated Xu is words were a little more intense, so that Yuan Shao was furious and took him down. In my opinion, this time, I am afraid that it will be more than lucky. With the virtues of Guo Tu Fengji and others, he will not let go of a good opportunity to suppress him. It's a pity that such characters are not used by me, it's a pity! ”

Therefore, if you kill you, you can't take refuge in Yuan Shao.

If you really take refuge in Yuan Shao, if you are not killed on the battlefield, I am afraid that you will be killed by those strategists.

Cao Peng couldn't help but feel a relative, and changed his words and said, "Uncle summoned me in such a hurry, what is the matter?" ”

Cao *** pondered for a moment, "I think you also know that the Yue Cavalry Battalion fought in Xiaotan and almost all the troops were wiped out...... I want to rebuild the Viet Cavalry Camp, so I summoned you to ask for your opinion. ”

"My opinion?"

Cao Peng was stunned and looked at Cao *** in amazement.

That clearly means: You don't want me to reorganize the Yue Cavalry Battalion, do you?

Cao *** smiled slightly and nodded vigorously.

"Soldiers, you don't need to worry, Zixiao has recruited 20,000 soldiers in Xudu. You can draw any troops and horses from these 20,000 people and reorganize the Viet Cavalry battalion.

I discussed it with Feng Xiao, and let you temporarily take the Yue cavalry captain and train in Xudu.

The required baggage ordnance can be obtained from Zixiao. It is up to you to decide whether to appoint or dismiss a lieutenant below the rank of lieutenant...... I wonder if you have the confidence to do this well? ”

Cao Peng, gasped.

Is it really for me to be a captain of the Yue Cavalry?

That's a position with a rank of 2,000 stones! Don't look at Cao Peng's current captain, but his current title of captain is very different from that of Yueqi captain. The lieutenant is no more than a thousand stones. Now that he has suddenly become a captain of Yue Cavalry who is more than 2,000 stones, Cao Peng is equal to being promoted by three levels in a row. From the inspection captain to the top, there are also two ranks, Qianshi, and Zhenqianshi, who ascended the throne. Everyone knows that from the captain of a thousand stones to the captain of two thousand stones, there is a moat in the middle. To be able to become a captain of 2,000 stones can be regarded as truly entering the core class.

Cao Peng hesitated for a moment and said softly: "Uncle, I'm afraid I'm not old and my qualifications are insufficient!" ”

"Ha, when the champion Hou was eighteen years old and became a hussar general, you are seventeen now, and your military exploits are even more prominent, who dares to stop it?

Don't worry, this matter is not my intention alone, Gongda and Gongren all think that you can take on the heavy responsibility. ”

Cao Peng hesitated for a moment, then got up and responded: "My nephew will live up to my uncle's trust." ”

Seventeen-year-old captain of Yue Qi!

Ha!

During the Three Kingdoms period, it was not much.

Cao Peng began to realize the benefits of backing behind this.

It's just that Cao *** wants to use him, and Cao Peng can understand it; But it is a little strange that those ministers in the court and China have no objections.

Thinking of this, Cao Peng suddenly had a thrill.

He raised his head, stared at Cao ***, and said softly: "Uncle, but there are other entrustments?" ”

Cao *** was a little disappointed in his heart, but after hearing Cao Peng's words, he suddenly smiled.

"Ah Fu, you found out too?"

"Yes!"

"Yes, I have another purpose for appointing you as the captain of the Yue Cavalry.

When you return to Xudu this time, in addition to reorganizing the Yue cavalry camp, there is also an arrangement, that is, to serve as the side door Sima in the palace. ”

Sima in the palace?

Cao Peng started to feel a toothache!

Sima in this palace is an official position of more than a thousand stones, which is subordinate to Wei Wei, that is, under the jurisdiction of Cao Ren.

All the people in the palace have a register at the gate of the palace to which they belong, and the name of the palace to which they belong is printed on the iron talisman letter. The duty of the palace side door Sima is to check these symbols. Only through the inspection of the side gate Sima in the palace can people in the palace enter and leave the imperial city.

If a foreign minister needs to enter the palace due to something, he must also pass through the side door of the palace Sima to check.

In other words, Sima is the caretaker of the imperial city......

Cao *** asked Cao Peng to take this position, undoubtedly to make him *** the connection between the imperial city and the outside world. At this time, Cao *** suddenly appointed Cao Peng to this position, in addition to his trust in Cao Peng, there must be some inhumane special reasons......

Cao Peng took a deep breath and said softly, "Uncle, Xu Du...... Movement again? ”
