Chapter 552: Doubts about the Wine Banquet (1/2)

"Ah Fu, I'm going back. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

“……”

In the back garden of the Fengchehou Mansion, it is covered with snow.

A gust of wind blew and rolled up snow crystals and flew away. Lu Lan snuggled in Cao Peng's arms, accompanying him to enjoy the snowy scenery in the garden, and suddenly said sadly.

Cao Peng, a shock.

The arm around Lu Lan's waist was subconsciously retracted.

After a moment, he whispered, "Do you really want to go?" ”

"My roots, after all, are in Luhan.

Mother and mother also need me to take care of them. Now that the imperial court has accepted us to join us, we will start a war with Goguryeo in the spring. At this time, I have to go back. Otherwise, Lu Han's army will be unstable...... Ah Fu, when to go to Nanyang? I heard about the situation over there, it's terrible. ”

Cao Peng smiled, "I've experienced worse things, just Nanyang, don't worry." ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to help Lu Lan up, and said, "But there is one thing that you must deal with." When you return to Luhan, you can't fight in person like you did earlier. And now Uncle Zhou is forming a naval army on Tanglin Island, and it will be easier to contact him in the future.

By the way, it is best to find a good harbor along the coast as soon as possible so that the ships can dock. I have ordered someone to inform the leaders of the nine major banks in Xuzhou, and ask them to send someone to Bohai to contact you. There are some things that should be solved through these merchants rather than through the imperial court. Although I am no longer in Haixi, they are not as respectful to me as they were then. But as long as there is interest, they will inevitably participate. These merchant beetles can be used, but they can't be trusted. As for the proportions of this, you must grasp it well. ”

"Hmm!"

Lu Lan lowered her head, her slender and white neck, and drew a soft arc.

Cao Peng's heart suddenly gave birth to reluctance, and he subconsciously hugged Lu Lan tightly in his arms......

It has been nearly a month since they came to Xudu, and the two get along day and night, and their relationship has gradually deepened.

There is a certain foundation, when Cao Peng was in Haixi, although he was not too deliberate, but Xia Pi risked death to rescue Lu Lan's family, as well as the farewell on the sea, which made Lu Lan haunted his dreams. It's just that whether it's her or him, it's very clear that now is not the time to be together. If you want to stay together, you need to be patient. But the pain of separation, the pain of lovesickness, is sad after all.

Cao Peng gently rubbed Lu Lan's head and said, "It's cold outside, let's go back to the house." ”

Lu Lan, obediently, returned to the house with him.

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

Between men and women, in fact, there is a layer of paper.

Especially when Lang is affectionate and the concubine is interested, everything will fall into place.

Soon after Lu Lan arrived in Xudu, he had a skin-to-skin relationship with Cao Peng. Originally, according to Cao Peng's thoughts, he didn't want her to leave again.

But Lu Lan still insisted and wanted to return to Seoul.

This woman, once she is stubborn, no one can persuade her. Even Cao Peng's pleading failed to change Lu Lan's determination. After all, although Cao Peng is her lover, her mother, Xiaoniang and friends are all in Luhan. Over the years, Gao Shuncao has faithfully assisted her family and laid the foundation of Luhan. Not to mention, those soldiers who followed the Lu family to Lu Han......

Lu Lan's weak shoulders were under tremendous pressure.

She is not only a weak woman, but also the hope of the entire Lu Han Kingdom, the famous female tiger of the Lu family.

Cao Peng couldn't change her, and he never thought about changing her......

Since she has already made up her mind, there is only support.

Therefore, Cao Peng has sent letters one after another in the past period. to Zhou Cang on Tanglin Island, to the Nine Great Guilds in Xiapi, and to Su Shuang and others in Hexi...... He wants to do everything in his power to support Lu Han and share the pressure on Lu Lan. In this regard, Lu Lan did not refuse, but silently felt the lover's care and consideration for her.

The official annexation of the Han Kingdom of the Lu clan to the Central Plains also indicates that Lu Lan's days in Xudu will not be too long.

After the ceremony of sacrificing the heavens and sealing the Zen, Lu Lan will also return to Lu Han.

Cao Peng knew that although Lu Han had a firm foothold in Sanhan, there were not too many people available around Lu Lan. For a long time, she has almost relied on Gao Shun and Cao Xing to fight the world, and she doesn't even have a working advisor around her. Goguryeo is different from Baekje and Mahan. Historically, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty sent millions of troops, but the three expeditions to Goguryeo were unsuccessful; And Tang Taizong also made many expeditions, lost his troops and lost generals, and finally won a complete victory. Today's Goguryeo, although it is far from being comparable to the Goguryeo three hundred years later. But after all, it occupies most of the Korean Peninsula and is strong. Gao Shun and Cao Xing are getting older, and it is impossible to rely on them all the time.

Moreover, the current form of Lu Han is different from that of the first three Hans.

At that time, there was a friendly relationship between Luhan and Silla. But now, Lu Lan rejected the marriage proposal of the lord of Silla, and even fought against the Silla sword soldiers. In this way, while containing Goguryeo, Lühan also had to face the attack of Silla, and the pressure would inevitably increase.

Therefore, Cao Peng thought about it and ordered someone to go to Xingyang to find Pang Ming and Wang Shuang.

Pound, he wants to take it to Nanyang County, and he can't be transferred for a while.

But Pang Ming and Wang Shuang can accompany Lu Lan to Sanhan to help......

Pang Ming and Wang Shuang are both brave and good at fighting, especially Wang Shuang, who has followed Cao Peng for a long time, is loyal, and can be entrusted with important tasks.

These two people can also alleviate Lu Lan's talent crisis.

It's just that this military general is easy to find, but the advisor is hard to find.

It is really not easy to find a strategist who can give advice to Lu Lan.

Originally, Cao Peng planned to let Li Ru go to Sanhan after Zhang Liao became the general of the Liao Zhonglang in a few years. But at present, I am afraid that it will be difficult to make the trip for a while. In the middle of the year, Li Ru had secretly gone to Chengdu to personally preside over the financial strategy, and he couldn't make a move.

As for the others......

Cao Peng died and thought about it, but he couldn't come up with a suitable candidate for a minister.

During this time period, the advisors of the Three Kingdoms period were either already famous or had just been born. Or in a hostile camp, it is not easy to find out. Moreover, there is a big difference between a strategist and a general. Military generals can float in all directions, but most of the ministers are from prestigious families, and their local feelings and family attachment are very strong. It is indeed difficult to let them drift overseas.

Therefore, the selection of this adviser has great limitations.

First of all, he can't be a celebrity, nor can he be from a prestigious family......

Second, he could no longer find any other way out in the Central Plains. If you have real talent and real learning, of course, the first choice is to stay in the Central Plains, who wants to go overseas and go to that wild place?

These two points alone greatly narrow the range of choices Cao Peng can choose.

Han Shi has real talent and learning, but it is difficult to gain a foothold in the Central Plains.

Cao Peng really couldn't think of anyone who met these conditions for a while.

"Ah Fu, don't worry.

This kind of thing can be encountered but not sought, maybe the opportunity has not come. If the opportunity comes, there will naturally be candidates, so why bother with it? ”

Yes, the opportunity has not yet come.

Pang Ming and Wang Shuang had agreed to go to Lühan.

Wang Shuang's side is very easy, he is Cao Peng's retainer, and everything is based on Cao Peng's horse. Basically, whatever Cao Peng says, he will do what he does, and he doesn't have to say too much. In addition, Wang Shuang also knew that although his martial arts were good, it was too difficult to get ahead in the Central Plains. The Central Plains is full of talents, and there are many capable people under Cao Peng's account alone. If he stayed in the Central Plains, it would be too difficult to get a chance...... Especially those high-ranking officials and nobles in the family, they have too many thoughts, and it is really difficult to speculate.

Thinking that at the beginning, Cao Peng asked him to return to Xudu to protect Cao Chong.

As a result, Mrs. Huan turned around and drove him back to Cao's mansion......

Cao Peng went to Nanyang, although there will be a lot of opportunities. But for Wang Shuang, it is also difficult to get ahead.

If it is to Luhan, it is at least the official position of a lieutenant general. Even if this Zhonglang General is very different from the Zhonglang of the imperial court, at least there are many opportunities. Besides, it seems that the relationship between Gongzi and Lu Han is very close. Playing for Lu Han is not also serving Gongzi? Maybe there will be a chance to return to the Central Plains in the future, and then you can get more opportunities to get ahead.

But Pang Ming ......

Cao Peng seriously summoned Pang Ming, and he didn't hide anything, and even found Lu Lan over.

"This is the lord of the Lu Han Kingdom, Anping, I need you to help me go to the Lu Han Kingdom, assist the Lingqi family, and fight against Goguryeo.

Of course, this expediency.

The lord is about to use troops against Liaodong, and Lingqi will be responsible for containing Goguryeo at that time, and the general can only take on it.

Would you like to do it for me? ”

After thinking twice, Pang Ming agreed.

Although he was reused by Cao Peng, he knew very well that it would be difficult for him to get the opportunity to lead an army alone when he went to Nanyang. The situation in Nanyang County is different from that in the northwest, and Cao Peng must be constrained by many constraints. Not to mention Wei Yan, who is now stationed in Nanyang County, even the two Dian Man Xu Yi who rushed to Nanyang some time ago all have extremely deep backgrounds. In such a situation, how can he lead the army alone?

On the contrary, if he gets to Luhan, he can get a lot of opportunities.

In Cao Peng's words, it is a Zhonglang general, which is a breeze......

The eldest husband should be famous overseas and establish meritorious deeds. Now, he has such an opportunity, and he is not completely separated from the Central Plains.

Pang Ming was willing to go to Luhan, which made Cao Peng naturally very happy.

He asked people to select six hundred healthy soldiers from the grange outside Xudu City, and set off with Pang Ming Wang and the two. However, Pang Ming and Wang Shuang wanted to leave early, so they quietly rushed to Bohai County first, and after finding Zhang Liao, they hid through Zhang Liao's relationship. When the Lu Han delegation arrived in Bohai, Pang Ming and others were accompanying them. With these two people going to Lu Han, at least the Lu family can have more protection.

Cao Peng told Gao Shun about this, and Gao Shun was naturally very happy.

He's really old!

If you fight for another ten or twenty years, I am afraid that you will not be able to continue the war.

If he can't continue the war, who can take his place? The appearance of Pang Ming and Wang Shuang undoubtedly greatly eased Gao Shun's pressure.

It's just a mastermind's problem, but it has never been resolved.

Even Cao Peng himself is facing the same trouble, how can he help Lu Lan?

If Cao Peng hadn't recruited Du Ji before, then maybe he could recommend Du Ji to Lu Lan. But now...... It is estimated that Du Yi may not agree.

Not to mention Lu Yu, the son of the famous Lu Zhonglang, even if Cao Peng is not recruited, there will be others who solicit him. How could he leave the Central Plains and go to Samhan; Deng Zhi, it's impossible! is also a high-minded and arrogant person, and he will definitely not go to Lu Han to serve.

Troublesome, really troublesome!

Cao Peng patted his forehead, but he couldn't think of a suitable candidate.

Although Lu Lan told him that he didn't have to think too hard.

But Cao Peng still hopes to share some pressure for Lu Lan......

Perhaps, is it really a chance that has not come?

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

On October 22 of the 11th year of Jian'an, Emperor Han ordered Xun Yu to lead the minister of civil and military affairs to Songshan to worship Tianfeng Zen.

Later, he received Gao Shun in the imperial city and officially recognized the status of the Lü Han Kingdom in Sanhan.

Emperor Han originally planned to take this opportunity to be able to communicate with the Lu Han Kingdom. But he was stopped by Cao Cao. That night, Cao Cao held a banquet in Sikong Mansion to entertain Gao Shun and others.

Cao Peng, as the translator of Dahonglu, must attend at this time.

At night, the lights in the Sikong Mansion are colorful, and it is extremely lively.

Hundreds of civil and military officials, except for the officials who Xun Yu took away to go to Songshan to seal Zen, most of the other officials attended the banquet.

Cao Cao was very happy, and after some twists and turns, he finally completed the annexation of the Lu Han Kingdom.

This can be regarded as expanding the territory!

At the banquet, Cao Cao persuaded him to drink again and again.

At this time, Gao Shun also broke the vow and drank several times in a row......

"Gao Sima, I didn't expect that one day, we would be able to sit at the same table, it's really emotional."

Gao Shun said: "Thanks to Sikong's care, the small country was able to successfully annex this time." We have been drifting overseas, homesick for a long time. Now to be able to return to the Central Plains is a blessing for three lives. Sikong, past grievances, obedient to the lord of the country is willing to write off with Sikong. Since then, there have only been three Han Lu Han, and there is no more Hu Lu clan. ”

Cao Cao was stunned, and then laughed, "Yes, write it off." “

Gao Shun's words undoubtedly showed their attitude.

The grievances between Cao Cao and Lu Bu back then will no longer be taken care of. I, the Lu family, would like to stay in Sanhan forever and respect the etiquette system of the clan.

Cao Cao can be regarded as letting go of a matter of concern.

"I still remember the gentleness of the past years.

Speaking of which, I also had friends with Wen Hou, but it's a pity that creation makes people, and in the end...... After seeing the deceased now, I am very relieved to be able to exalt myself abroad, and I am very relieved. Come, Gao Sima, let's have a drink together. ”

The two drank another glass of wine and looked at each other and smiled.

Cao Peng was on the side, silently watching.

I also secretly sighed in my heart, this world is really impermanent.

Suddenly, a group of maidservants walked in from outside, holding a wine jug in their hands, and stepped forward to pour wine.

Cao Pengben didn't pay much attention to it, but just swept his eyes. But he didn't want to, he swept it, and a cold glint suddenly flashed in his eyes.

Gao Shun and Cao Cao laughed, raised their glasses and were about to eat, but Cao Peng suddenly yelled, "Gao Sima, slow down." ”

Gao Shun was stunned and looked at Cao Peng in astonishment. Cao Cao frowned, looked at Cao Peng and asked, "Youxue, why did you step forward to stop it." ”

Cao Peng ignored it, pointed to a maidservant, and said sharply: "You, come here." ”

"Childe, what do you command?"

Cao Peng turned around and bowed to Cao Cao and Gao Shun, "Please forgive the lord and Gao Sima." ”

Then, he stepped forward and grabbed the beautiful maid's arm, snatched the flask from her hand, put it under his nose and sniffed it, and then said with a smile: "Girl, please drink this wine." ”

That beautiful woman's face suddenly changed greatly!
