In the past, it was said that the prosperous capital of Pi Wangdu was dilapidated at this moment.

When the flood waters receded, many places were left with ruins, especially in the slums, which were almost wiped out by the floods, and cold dead bodies could be seen everywhere.

Chen Qun, unlucky!

After returning from Guangling, he was forcibly conscripted to engage in Xiapi.

Although he was unwilling, he was under the fence of his father, and finally took office. Unexpectedly, after just a few days of work, I encountered this big war...... So, after the city was broken, Chen Qun, who was an adjudicator, was caught by Cao Jun who entered the city before he could escape into the inner city.

Although the weather was cold, Cao Ying did not dare to get tired.

After entering the city, he immediately ordered people to tidy up the city, bury the dead bodies, and clean up the ruins of the ruins. It's so cold, and it's wet. Cao Jun did not want to suffer such suffering, so he drove the captured soldiers and subordinates to the streets to clean up the debris.

As soon as the day dawned, it was so cold that people couldn't stop shivering in thick clothes.

Chen Qunna suffered such a thing, and was driven up the long street, carrying a big broom, crying and mourning, and sweeping the street.

When Cao Peng and the three passed, Chen Qunzheng was reprimanded by two Cao Jun. When he saw Cao Peng, he couldn't help but shout loudly.

Cao Peng followed the voice and almost didn't recognize Chen Qun.

Pity the graceful celebrity back then, who is in rags at the moment, so sad.

Therefore, people rely on clothes, horses and saddles, no matter how good their temperament is, they will have no temperament when they change into dirty clothes.

Cao Peng couldn't help laughing, and as soon as he urged his crotch to dismount, he rushed forward according to Yebai.

"Big brother, why did you end up so miserable." Chen Qun's face was dirty, and he smiled bitterly: "It's hard to say." ”

The soldiers who were responsible for taking care of Chen Qun's work were Xiahoudun's subordinates. They knew Cao Peng, and they also heard that after this guy was robbed of grain and grass, he did not hesitate to block Liu Bei's camp in order to seek justice for his subordinates. For a general who is willing to stand up for justice for his subordinates, the soldiers are very respectful. Although Cao Peng is not very old, there are people above him...... It is said that Cao Hong, the marquis of Guoming Pavilion and the general of Duhu, was a partner and opened a casino in Luoyang, which was called Jindoujin; is also with Cao Zhen, the son of Cao Ying, who is a righteous brother and one of the dignified little eight righteousness. The strategist next to Cao Ying, Guo Jiaxunyou, also seems to care for this young man and attaches great importance to it.

In addition, he is also the life-saving benefactor of Tiger Ben Zhonglang General Dian Wei.

His father is the supervisor of the Shaofu Zhuye Supervisor, and his brother-in-law is the commander of Haixi County...... Now Cao Jun's grain and grass are all provided by Haixi County.

This kind of identity cannot be neglected by the soldiers.

Two five big and three rough soldiers stepped forward, "I have seen Cao Sima, General Dian Lang, and General Xu Lang. ”

"You are ......"

"We are the Marquis of Gao'an."

Gao'an Xianghou is Xiahoudun.

In the second year of Xingping, Xiahoudun was Chen Liutaishou and was named General Jianwu and Gao'an Township. In the first year of Jian'an, he moved to Henan Yin, retaining the general title and title.

When Cao Peng heard this, he didn't dare to slack off.

He knew that Xiahoudun was also a very famous and powerful person in the Cao Wei group.

At least for now, Xiahoudun is more important to Cao Ying than Cao Hong. So even if Cao Peng hooked up with Cao Hong, he didn't dare to snub Xiahoudun's ministry.

"This is Yingchuan celebrity Chen Qun Chen Changwen, the grandson of Yingchuan Chen Yu, how can you let him do such a vulgar thing?"

"Huh?"

The two soldiers were stunned when they heard this, and looked at Chen Qun.

I saw Chen Qun dressed in a crumpled robe, with his neck shrunk, and his hands in his sleeves, where is the slightest bit of celebrity style? Cao Peng glanced at Chen Qun and couldn't help but laugh dumbly. He and Dianman Xu Yi got off the horse, took off their black cloaks, and put them on Chen Qun.

"This person, I took ...... Please tell the Gao'an townspeople, there are a lot of celebrities in Xuzhou, and please check it out.

Don't do anything insulting and add to your troubles. By the way, in such a cold weather, prepare some hot porridge and water for them, don't ruin Sikong's reputation. ”

"Whoa!" The two soldiers hurriedly responded: "I will tell the superior officer." ”

Cao Peng put his arm on Chen Qun's shoulder, smiled, and said as he walked: "Okay, okay, big brother, you are too...... If you don't give your name, how will they know who you are? Cao Gong sent troops this time, where can you take care of too many things, you are purely dying to save face and suffer crimes. ”

Chen Qun snorted a few times and laughed abruptly.

Dian Man and Xu Yi followed, the two of them were not very familiar with Chen Qun, but they had heard of Chen Yu's name. Knowing that Chen Qun was Chen Yu's grandson, he couldn't help but be in awe. The two walked behind, and before they knew it, the group arrived outside the gate of Cao Hongtun's camp.

"Cao Sima, the general is invited!"

A black-clad guard ran over and bowed.

"Rod, what does the general command?"

"It's not a big deal, Sikong sent an order and ordered us to besiege the inner city without attacking, so the general asked Cao Sima to discuss the matter of guarding."

This black guard is Cao Hong's personal entourage.

A native of Qian County, he was a tenant of the Cao family. Later, Cao Hong raised troops to support Cao Ying, and Rhodes followed Cao Hong. I think there were a large number of villagers at the beginning, but now there are few left. Therefore, Cao Hong attaches great importance to Rhodes, and there are many things that Rhodes has arranged for him.

Cao Peng and Rhodes have a good relationship, and they also have a friendship in private.

He nodded and said to Chen Qun: "Changwen, then I will first wronged you to rest in my tent, first use some porridge water, take a hot bath, and change clothes." After I have finished discussing with the Metropolitan Protector, I will introduce you...... With a long literary talent, he will definitely be able to gain Cao Sikong's attention. ”

Chen Qun said viciously: "Add some dogwood to the porridge water." ”

Dogwood, also known as Yue Jiao, grows in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui regions, and is also known as Aizi. Its flavor is fragrant, not Langui. The fruit is extremely spicy and edible. The stems and leaves can be used as medicine, the function is to warm the stomach and dry dampness, and the dogwood leaves can also treat infectious diseases such as cholera, and the roots can kill insects...... At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was no such food as chili pepper, and people mostly used dogwood to enhance the flavor.

This plant, which is very common in Xuzhou, is mostly found in ravines, streams or moist slopes, and can be found everywhere outside the city of Xiapi.

So it is not difficult to find dogwood in Xiapi.

Cao Peng put his arm on Chen Qun's shoulders and couldn't help laughing: "Changwen, I think you are still not ruthless, otherwise where would you have so many requirements." ”

Chen Qun snorted twice and couldn't help laughing!

Cao Peng asked Gan Ning to take Chen Qun back to the military tent to rest, and he and Dian Man Xu Yi followed Rod to Cao Hong's residence.

Cao Hong's camp was set up at the east gate of the inner city.

This is also the residence of a wealthy family in Xiapi, and Cao Hong lives in the mansion of a wealthy local family. It covers a wide area, with nine in and nine out.

There are bolted horse piles on both sides of the vermilion lacquer gate, and there are guards on duty.

When Cao Peng arrived, he saw a chubby middle-aged man coming out of it. There was a sycophancy on that round face.

When the middle-aged man saw Cao Peng, he hurriedly greeted him.

However, Cao Peng's gaze did not pay attention to the other party, but directly crossed the shoulders of the middle-aged man and stared at the two strong men behind him. One of them, with a visible scar on his face, seemed somewhat familiar. When he staggered past the middle-aged man, he suddenly called out to the other party.

"What's your name?"

Cao Peng looked at the strong man with the scar on his face and asked in a deep voice.

A doorman at the door, who was also Cao Hong's subordinate, hurriedly said: "Cao Sima asked you something, don't answer quickly." ”

It seems that this man must have received a lot of benefits, and one sentence pointed out Cao Peng's identity and official position. He had good intentions, but he didn't want the strong man to shudder, his eyes wandered, his head was lowered, and Nuo Nuo didn't speak, which made Cao Peng even more puzzled.

"Ah, the villain is ...... around"

"I didn't ask you, you shut up for me!"

Cao Peng's eyes widened, and Zhou Yan immediately didn't dare to speak.

Today's Cao Peng is not Cao Peng who came out of Xu Du back then.

After a year of training, it can be regarded as traveling all over the country (Huainan has been there, and Jiangdong has also been there). Especially after the Battle of Quyang, Cao Peng inadvertently had a murderous aura in his gestures. That's not the temperament that one or two people can condense, Cao Peng is in Quyang, and the soldiers who died in his hands are not a hundred, but also sixty or seventy, that kind of momentum, ordinary people can't afford it.

"Villain ......"

The Scarface man spoke.

But before he could finish speaking, Cao Peng pointed at him and couldn't help laughing.

"I remembered...... I was going to clean you up later, but I didn't expect you to send it to the door by the fuck. Your surname is Zhou, right? ”

Zhou Yan's heart suddenly froze, looked at Cao Peng, and then looked at the strong man behind him.

There is a good saying: It's not that enemies don't get together!

A year ago, Cao Peng and Chen Qun went to Guangling to take up their posts together, and on the way, they went to Xuyi to visit Buqi's aunt, and met their own family to ask for debts. Cao Peng taught the other party a lesson at that time, and then left Xuyi with Buqi's aunt and Buluan. Zhou Yan is Aunt Buqiu's cousin. Because of their brother Zhou Kui, they colluded with Song Guang, the chief of Xuyi at the time. Now, Song Guang died in the hands of Pan Zhang, and Zhou Kui has also become the ghost of Gan Ning's knife. The Zhou family lost a backer they could rely on, so they wanted to defect to Cao Hong.

Cao Peng waved his hand, "Take them down!" ”

"Huh?"

Mendin was stunned.

But he heard Rod shout sharply: "I didn't hear Cao Sima's order, take down these thieves." ”

This one is even more vicious...... Although he didn't know how Zhou Yan offended Cao Peng, he knew that the relationship between Cao Peng and Cao Hong was definitely dead iron.

Today's Shengshi Gambling House is not small.

It almost attracted many wealthy families in Yingchuan...... Cao Hong, at Cao Peng's suggestion, began to dilute his own shares, bringing in his own brother Cao Ren and Henan Yin Xiahoudun. After Cao Ren and Xiahou Tang entered, Cao Hong's status was improved, and he not only moved the capital to protect the general, but was also named the Marquis of Guoming Pavilion. This is all thanks to Cao Peng, which also makes Cao Hong's attitude towards Cao Peng kind...... Not to mention, Cao Hong will get a big knife from Cao Peng's father and Cao Ji every three months. But these relationships alone are enough to bring the two families closer.

Rod directly labeled Zhou Yan as an anti-thief, and the next step is to die or live, it all depends on Cao Peng's thoughts.

"I'm not a thief!"

Zhou Yan shouted loudly, but saw more than a dozen elite soldiers swarming out of the gate, and stepped forward to press the three of them to the ground. That Zhou Yan still wanted to be wronged, so he listened to the snap, and a healthy pawn stepped forward and slapped him more than a dozen times, which made Zhou Yan's cheeks red and swollen, and his teeth were knocked out.

"Hold on!"

Cao Peng turned his head and glanced at Rod.

This kid is ruthless enough, and he has eyes enough......—————————————————————— "Ah Fu, why did you come?" ”

As soon as he entered the hall, Cao Hong beckoned to Cao Peng.

"Uncle, the little nephew was outside the mansion just now...... Met an enemy.

The guy may have just visited his uncle, but the little nephew ...... The little nephew has a maidservant, and she is still a relative of Zhou Yan. Because of greed for the wealth of the little niece and maidservant, he almost forced him to become a prostitute. When the little nephew saw those people, he was angry for a while, so he arrested them......"

"Zhou Yan?"

Cao Hong was stunned and scratched his head.

"Are you talking about Zhou Yan of the Xuyi Zhou family?"

"Exactly!"

When Cao Hong heard this, he waved his hand, "I should be a little bit old, but I am just a person from Xuyi." Now that Sikong occupies Xiapi, he wants to find a support. However, since he offended his virtuous nephew, he was arrested, and it was not a matter. Rod, he copied the Zhou family another day. ”

There is a way to break the county order, and the door to destroy the order Yin.

Although Cao Hong said that he was not Ling Yin, it was easy to kill a Jia person.

This kind of thing is really not a thing in Cao Hong's eyes. Cao Peng arrested people, and Cao Hong directly wiped out the family!

But in this era, whoever has the power is the master!

And who will run out and make irresponsible remarks?

"Sikong ordered to besiege the inner city, besiege but not attack...... Our grandfathers are stationed in Dongcheng, but we can't go wrong. I thought about it for a moment, and from today onwards, we must take strict precautions. The east gate of the inner city, in addition to one main gate, has two side gates. I am stationed in the Chinese army and besiege the main gate, and Ah Fu is responsible for guarding the side gate to the south. I will have two thousand soldiers and horses with you, and I will not have a false affair, and there shall be no difference. ”

When Cao Peng heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

was worried about how to save Lu Bu's family, but as soon as he dozed off, Cao Hong handed over the pillow.

Guarding one door alone is enough to make Cao Peng convenient enough. To rescue Lu Bu's family, there are three links that must be paid attention to: first, Lu Bu must cooperate, which is not yet known; secondly, to be able to read and act, and to keep a door alone, there is such an opportunity; The third point is to try to get people away. Cao Peng has also made a plan. The question now is, how to get Lu Bu to cooperate with his actions?

This is also the most difficult thing to do among the three links.

However, Cao Peng is not in a hurry, as long as he can read and act, he can always find an opportunity...... Cao Hong is very serious in military affairs.

After the assignment was completed, Cao Peng said: "Uncle, I found a problem when I received an inspection today. ”

"What's the problem?"

"I saw a man who was driven out into the street to sweep up.

You also know that at the beginning of the turmoil in Yuzhou, many local celebrities lived in Xuzhou and lived under Lu Bu's tent. What I see today is Chen Qun, one of the four elders of Yingchuan, the grandson of Chen Yu. This person is talented, erudite and well-informed, and is a famous scholar in Yingchuan...... I would like to ask my uncle to recommend this person to Sikong on my behalf...... In this way, it is also a wonderful thing for my uncle. ”

"Chen Qun?"

Cao Hong nodded, revealing a deep groan.

"I have indeed heard of the name Chen Qun, but I didn't expect him to fall to such a point. That being the case, I will speak before the Lord's account...... Oh, I almost forgot about it. Bong-hyo looked for you and asked you to go over to see him. ”

"Guo Saijiu looking for me?"

When Cao Peng heard this, he was stunned.

Good end, Guo Jia is looking for me, why is it?
