In the back house of Xiapi Town, the little lady Ren Xiu is sewing clothes under the lamp.

Diao Chan is the name of a female official in the Han Dynasty.

And her real name is Ren Xiu, from Hongchang, and from Wuyuan. Speaking of which, Ren Xiu and Lu Bu are also fellow villagers. However, Ren Xiu left his home with his uncle since he was a child and went to Lintao. Later, she moved to Chang'an and became a female official in the Han palace.

Well, the name Ren Xiu sounds...... Hehe, it's a little awkward.

We just need to know her name, or call her Diao.

Maybe this will make everyone feel more intimate.

Lu Lingqi curled up on the couch and fell asleep, she looked like a kitten when she slept.

Diao Chan sewed and mended a battle robe and put it aside. She looked up at Qi'er, her delicate and moving face, and showed a faint smile.

"Qi'er, you held it all night, say it."

"Madame, why do you want to help that thief?"

The thief in Qi'er's mouth is Cao Peng.

Diao Chan smiled, "I just want to find someone to rely on for the prince." ”

She stood up, went to the window, tucked the quilt for Lingqi, and gently brushed the hair on her face.

At this time, Diao Chan is like a kind mother. Although Lu Lingqi is not her biological child, in her eyes, it is like her biological child.

"Although the prince is now in charge of Xiapi, his situation is not good.

He is not a male lord in the first place, although he is strong in martial arts, but he ...... He can't be a master well, so sooner or later there will be trouble. Hugh saw him return triumphantly, and many people came to congratulate him. But I dare say that none of those who congratulated him came sincerely. ”

Diao Chan sat down beside Qi'er and added, "Including Cao Peng." ”

"Then why are you still helping him?"

"Because other people ......"

Diao Chan sighed, revealing a hint of sadness.

"Looking at this Picheng, there are only a handful of people who are united with the monarch and the marquis. Even if it was that Chen Gongtai, he just wanted to use the prince. Chen Hanyu is scheming, and Chen Yuanlong is exquisite...... From the very beginning, these people did not accept the prince, but they thought it was a snake. ”

"What about the thief?"

"Little thief...... Very slippery. ”

"Huh?"

Qi'er was puzzled and looked at Diao Chan.

"But I think that kid is different from Chen Hanyu's people. Although he is under the command of Cao Gong, he doesn't seem to be a person of his age...... Can you imagine? A big man who actually agreed to dress up as a woman? If it were a different person, I was afraid that I would have turned my face long ago. But he agreed...... The child's eyes were clear and deep, and I had a hunch that he would be able to do something great in the future. I am saying that I will give him a blessing now, and I only hope that he will be able to repay his kindness in the future. ”

Qi'er said softly: "But, he doesn't know." ”

"Silly girl, he knows!"

Diao Chan said and picked up the needle and thread again.

Qi'er sat quietly, looking at the side of Diao Chan.

She secretly clenched her fists and said in her heart: Cao Peng, he said that if you dare to disappoint Madame's heart, I will not let you go!

————————————————————————Ahh

Cao Peng rubbed his nose and strangled Zhao Yebai.

Xiapi City has been left far behind.

A bright moon is in the sky, but it looks extremely cold. Cao Peng subconsciously wrapped his robe tightly, turned his head to look behind him, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly.

Hao Zhao...... That iron-walled general has become my subordinate!

In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Hao Zhao's appearance was already in the later stage. At that time, it was Zhuge Liang who came out of Qishan, intending to seize Guanzhong, and then the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains. Hao Zhao was ordered to go out of Chencang, and let Zhuge Liang use all kinds of means to ensure that Chencang was not lost, forcing Zhuge Liang to give up the plan to capture Chencang...... In later generations, some people called Hao Zhao the general of the iron wall, which means that he guarded the city, like a copper wall and an iron wall.

However, Hao Zhao seems to have only this one merit in his life.

Since then, he has been unknown, at least in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and has not appeared.

As for the first half of his life, it has become a mystery.

Now, Hao Zhao's face is still a little green and immature, and it doesn't look strange.

In the army of Lu Bu, he was the governor of the tribe and was in charge of 200 people.

Since Lu Bu started from Bianjung, the establishment of this army is somewhat different. For example, the four levels of military positions such as Wu Chang, Shi Chang, Du Bo, and Tun General are roughly the same. But from Tun to Qu, there is a change. For example, the subordinates of Cao Ying and others, one song has five tuns, and two songs are one.

However, the border army is a song of two tuns, which is called the subordinate, that is, the prince.

The first colonel of the border army is only one or two thousand people. There are only 10,000 people in one army...... But in the Gyeonggi area, there are about seven or eight thousand students in one school. Therefore, the lieutenants of the border army are just fake lieutenants, and their power is far less than that of the lieutenants in Gyeonggi, and their natural treatment is not very high.

But Hao Zhao was able to achieve the position of the governor of the ministry at the age of seventeen, which is enough to show that he is not simple.

Previously, Hao Zhao worked under Zhang Liao, and he was originally a reserve army in the trap. Since there are always 800 people in the trapped camp, if there are casualties in the battle, they must be replenished as soon as possible. And this additional manpower is drawn from Zhang Liao's hands...... Therefore, it can be regarded as an elite.

Originally, Zhang Liao was not very willing, after all, this elite soldier is not easy to practice.

But he doesn't have a bad impression of Cao Peng, and at the same time, he also knows that Haixi is indeed very complicated.

The fact that the Cao Peng brothers were able to gain a foothold in Haixi is also a good thing. So after thinking about it, Zhang Liao finally agreed.

Hao Zhao couldn't tell whether he was happy or unhappy.

But overall, it is estimated that he will not be particularly happy...... Thinking that he is working under Zhang Liao, he may be able to become a member of the trapped camp in the future.

Now, he has been transferred to such a remote place as Haixi. I'm afraid that if it were Cao Peng, I would feel a little awkward in my heart.

However, he will not let Hao Zhao go.

is like the sentence that Uncle Li said in "No Thieves in the World": What is the most important thing in these years? Talent!

There is no doubt that Hao Zhao is a talent.

Anyone who has played Heroes of the Three Kingdoms knows that the greatest fun of the Three Kingdoms game is to collect famous generals and advisors. But the problem is that Cao Peng was reborn too late! During the Jian'an period, the pattern of the world has basically appeared, and many famous ministers and fierce generals are also famous flowers. And Cao Peng's background limited his possibility of collecting cattle unscrupulously...... Therefore, when Cao Peng met so many cattle, he rarely thought that he could recruit them. As for Pan Zhang...... It was definitely an accident, purely because Cao Peng fooled it.

Too old to solicit.

If the fame is too loud, it can't be recruited.

If you have a good background, you can't recruit it...... If it is eliminated in this way, there are very few people who can be recruited by Cao Peng.

The one that Cao Peng was looking forward to the most was his nephew who didn't know if it was true or not.

Moreover, Deng Ai was just born and has not yet reached the age of age. Wait for him to grow up and be sincere...... My God, even Cao Peng himself is not sure if he can live until that time. Unexpectedly, if you have the intention to plant trees, the trees will not live, and you will unintentionally plant willows and willows. After a trip to Xiapi, I actually found a calf. What made Cao Peng happiest was that the conditions of this calf were very much in line with the requirements he solicited.

Not too old, but not too young; has no fame, and comes from the grassroots...... If these calves are let go, it will be thunder and thunder.

Therefore, Cao Peng was thinking about how to get closer to Hao Zhao along the way?

Cao Peng couldn't do anything that shook the tiger's body.

That...... Alas, keep fooling!

———————————————— night, everyone slept on the shore of the ancestral water.

Hao Zhao didn't wait for Cao Peng's instructions, so he arranged a vigilance.

Cao Pengdian sat together and talked in a low voice. They talked about the harvest of this visit to Xiapi and the power of the tiger Lu Bu.

Inadvertently, Cao Peng found Hao Zhao sitting down not far away.

With a roll of his eyes, he suddenly asked, "Third brother, in terms of bravery, Wen Hou is indeed unparalleled in the world. This point, whether you admit it or not, is a fact. However, when it comes to marching formations, both civil and military, under the tent of Wen Hou, I recommend Zhang Wenyuan first. ”

Hao Zhao seemed a little curious.

"Zhang Liao?"

Dian Man thought for a while, "I seem to have heard that the lord once said that among the eight strong generals under the Wenhou account, Zhang Wenyuan can be in charge alone." ”

"yes, it's a pity that I was born at the wrong time."

"What do you mean by that?"

"General Wen Yuan was born late...... If he had been born 400 years earlier, he might have been able to establish a career like Huo Hussar. ”

When Xu Yi heard this, he was immediately dissatisfied.

"Ah Fu, you're exaggerating.

Zhang Wenyuan may really have the ability, but with Huo Huqi, I'm afraid he can't compare. ”

"Why can't you compare?"

"What is Huo Huqi's origin? What is Zhang Liao's background? ”

"Eh, you can't say that." Cao Peng waved his hand and said: "If you are a hero by your background, then General Wei Qing was still a riding slave in the eldest princess's family in his early years." Even Gao Zu was only the chief of Pei County at the beginning, but he was able to defeat the overlord of Western Chu after Xiang Yan, a famous general in Chu. This word "origin" is given to us by God...... Maybe not quite fair! But whether you can make a career depends on yourself. If according to what you said, when Gaozu saw the overlord of Western Chu, he didn't have to fight, and he surrendered directly......"

After all, Xu Yi was born in a big family, and this concept is more important than Dianman.

However, listening to Cao Peng's words, it doesn't seem to be unreasonable.

"Bodao, what do you say?"

"Huh?"

Hao Zhao didn't expect that Cao Peng would suddenly ask him.

After hesitating for a moment, he smiled, "The last general thinks that what Childe said is extremely true. ”

"That's it......"

Cao Peng said with a smile: "I think back then, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were just two mud legs, but they could say the heroic words of the emperor and general Xiangning. Now, we are waiting for the king's food and sharing the worries of the king, and it is the time to establish meritorious deeds. We are sitting in this place now, and we don't know that in ten years, twenty years, thirty years, we will not be able to build the same achievements as Huo Huqi? I didn't believe it. ”

After he said that, he asked again, "Bo Dao, what are your ambitions?" ”

"Ambition?"

Hao Zhao hesitated, and Cao Peng had already turned his head and looked at Xu Yi and Dian Man.

"Me?" Dianman thought for a while, "What I hope most in my life is to defeat my father, charge into battle for the lord, and make contributions." ”

"What about you?" Cao Peng looked towards Xu Yi.

Xu Yi thought for a while, "Me...... I hope to protect the growth of the family, and one day, I can make the Xu family a hundred-year-old and thousand-year-old family. ”

The two people have different backgrounds, so the ambitions of the two people are very different.

Pawn full, more from the individual.

Xu Yi, on the other hand, is more from the family's point of view.

After the two finished speaking, they looked at Cao Peng.

"Ah Fu, what are your ambitions?"

"Me?"

This time I really stopped Cao Peng.

Since his rebirth, he has always thought about hugging a thigh to keep his family safe.

To put it a little bigger, when you are a yaini, although you don't say that you bully men and women, you can also show off the market...... It's just that his surname is really inappropriate to be a gentleman. A lot of the time, it's just a matter of thinking about it, more of a joke.

Now, Dianman and Xu Yi asked him, so that Cao Peng didn't know how to answer.

Sitting by the campfire, the light of the fire reflected Cao Peng's face, he was silent.

Hao Zhao also looked at Cao Peng curiously, as if waiting for his answer. After a long time, Cao Peng raised his head and smiled slightly.

This smile is full of solemnity.

Under the light of the fire, it looks a little sacred.

"Ah Fu, why don't you speak?"

"I have a dream...... Cao Peng suddenly got up and shouted loudly: "I am willing to establish a heart for heaven and earth, I am willing to establish a life for the people, I am willing to continue to learn for the saints, and I am willing to open peace for all generations!" ”

Boom, thunder was heard in the night sky.

seems to be telling Cao Peng: You are pretending to be a little too much!

But Cao Peng still didn't realize it, stood up suddenly, and said loudly: "Those who offend me as a strong man will be punished even if they are far away!" ”

More than 200 years ago, the famous general Chen Tanggan of the Western Han Dynasty extended his life in Shangshu and issued a shout, which made the backbone of the Han people for 2,000 years.

There was a click, and a bolt of lightning struck the night sky.

It seems to be warning Cao Peng.

Pretend to be forced again, and chop you to death!

It's just that although this lightning is terrifying, it can't hide the sky-high pride in Cao Peng's heart.

Hao Zhao's face changed, revealing admiration.

And Dian Man and Xu Yi were silent, looking at Cao Peng with a look of respect.

It doesn't matter whether Cao Peng is from the heart or pretending to be forced. But his bold words really made Dian Man Xu Yi feel ashamed...... In comparison, the ambition of the two is simply insignificant.

Ah Fu, it's really extraordinary!

Whoa...... A heavy rain fell.

The people in the camp immediately ran and shouted, and got into the tents.

Cao Peng exhaled vigorously and strode away, leaving only the three teenagers to sit aside, as if they were unaware of the winter rain.

———————————————————————— heavy rain overnight, and at dawn the next day, it finally stopped.

However, the sky did not clear up, and it began to snow lightly. This is also the first snow in Xuzhou since the beginning of winter...... No one talked about last night's incident, but Hao Zhao's attitude obviously changed, and he was a little respectful.

The group wore stars and moons, braved the first snow, and continued on the road.

In November of the second year of Jian'an, Cao Ying soon launched another war shortly after the crusade against Yuan Shu and the triumphant division.

This time, his opponent is still Zhang Xiu from Wancheng.

The defeat of the first expedition to Wancheng made Cao Ying choke like a fish, and he didn't vomit or feel unhappy. Zhang Xiu is not removed, Wancheng is uncertain, after all, a henchman!
