Xiahou Zhen covered his mouth, turned sideways, and forced himself not to laugh.

Cao Pi looked surprised, looked at Cao Peng and said: If it is so proper, this guy can actually say so smoothly, it's really amazing!

As for Cao Zhen, he glared at Cao Peng angrily.

Such shameless words, can you say them?

Cao Peng smiled slightly and replied with his eyes: Kindly, you stand up and refute?

Cao Zhen, ......―――――――――――――――――――――――――― retreated, Cao Ying laughed, obviously agreeing with Cao Peng's words.

He won't twist and pinch, otherwise he wouldn't have laughed and left in his early years after Xu Zijiang commented on him as 'the capable minister of the world, the hero of the troubled times'.

should be, Cao Ying will never retreat hypocritically.

If he shouldn't be, he will work hard.

Later generations often evaluated Cao Ying as a hero. But Cao Peng thought that Cao Ying was really not a 'annihilation'. At least in the end, Cao Ying I, the power leaned towards the government and the opposition, and he never usurped the Han family. According to historical records, Cao Ying's wish in his life was only to be able to write the words 'Cao Hou, the general of the late expedition to the west' on the tombstone after his death, so that 'his life wish is enough'. Therefore, Cao Peng has always believed that Cao Ying is a real hero.

Or rather, the real villain?

Although Cao Peng is suspected of slapping the horse, it is also from the bottom of his heart.

At the same time, it was impossible for him to propose the names of the princes from all walks of life like Liu Bei.

Cao Ying smiled and looked at Cao Peng with interest, "Then why don't you talk about others?" ”

"Who's to do?"

Who deserves the word 'hero'?

Cao Ying turned around and sat down, "Huainan Yuan Shu, what if?" ”

"Dry bones and ears in the grave."

"Then Yuan Shao of Hebei, the fourth and third dukes, many old officials, tigers in Jizhou, and many capable subordinates, why can't you use the word 'hero'?"

Cao Peng said: "Yuan Benchu is fierce and timid, and he is indecisive. Do big things and spare your life, and forget your life when you see small profits. I once heard my brother say that Yuan Benchu will be broken by the Lord sooner or later. If such a character is a hero, wouldn't it tarnish the word 'hero'? Deserved, deserved! ”

Cao Ying, lost in thought.

In fact, it is not unreasonable for Cao Ying to ask Cao Peng what he said.

Yuan Shao has now pacified Gongsun Zhan, and he will fight with Cao Ying sooner or later, which is irretrievable.

He is located in Jizhou, with abundant money and grain, more than 1,000 generals under his command, and strategists like clouds. To be honest, even now, Cao Ying is still a little jealous.

After all, this Yuan Shao is not comparable to Yuan Shu.

Cao Peng's words reached Cao Ying's heart.

It also made Cao Ying even more determined to fight with Yuan Shao...... Cao Zhen suddenly asked: "Liu Jingsheng of Jingzhou, with the name of Eight Jun, is powerful in Kyushu, what is it?" ”

Cao Peng scratched his head and sneered, "Liu Jingsheng's dog guarding the house is not a matter of worry." If he dies, he will be called Jingzhou for his uncle. ”

Cao Ying was stunned and burst into laughter.

"The Dog of the House...... Ah Fu, if Liu Jingsheng heard this, he would definitely be furious...... No, he'll get you in trouble. ”

Cao Peng also smiled, "Okay, let him come." ”

"Uh......"

Cao Ying was dumbfounded.

Since it is a dog guarding the house, how can it leave home? If Liu Jingsheng had that courage, why would he still shrink like this? You must know that when he was crusading against Dong Zhuo, Liu Biao had already stood firm in Jingzhou. At that time, Cao Ying didn't even have a place to stay. And now? Cao Yingxiong dominates Yanzhou and Yuzhou, Zhenguanzhong, Pingxuzhou, accounting for most of Qingzhou, but Liu Biao is still a Jingzhou.

The dog that guards the house, what an image!

Cao Ying's face showed a look of mockery.

Cao Zhen thought for a moment and asked, "There is one person, the blood is strong, the leader Jiangdong, what is Sun Ceruo?" ”

Cao Peng scratched his nose, "Sun Bofu bravely crowned the three armies, but if he is rigid, he is easy to break, and he will not die well...... He can be a hero, but he is not a hero. ”

"So, what is a hero?"

"A man who is a hero has great ambitions, has good intentions, has the opportunity to contain the universe, and has the ambition to swallow heaven and earth. When I look at this world, there is no other choice but to be commonplace. ”

Hearing this, Cao Ying should have laughed.

However, he did not smile and was silent.

At this time, the rain was pouring and the thunder was loud.

A bolt of lightning tore through the sky, illuminating the garden in a miserable white ...... "Liu Xuande, what if?" ”

"Huh?"

Cao Ying raised his head and said softly: "Ah Fu, do you think Liu Bei can be a hero?" ”

Cao Peng couldn't help but be silent!

"Liu Bei, like a lost dog, can be wiped out with just one elite soldier. Father, why should you be angry about that Liu Bei? ”

Cao Pi spoke, but Cao Ying ignored him.

After a long time, Cao Peng said softly: "If you don't kill Liu Bei, this person will become a big disaster." ”

"Huh?"

"Although he is like a lost dog now, his will remains. Although he has been defeated in a hundred battles, he is still not discouraged, and his tenacity can be seen. When I was a child, I was taught to read and write: "Jin Lin is a thing in a pond, and it will turn into a dragon when it encounters a storm." Liu Bei, now he is like a mayfly in his wings, seemingly weak, but in fact it is not. In case of wind and clouds, you can turn into a dragon and rise...... It would be better for the uncle to eradicate him before he encounters a storm. ”

"Jin Lin is a thing in the pool, and he will turn into a dragon when he encounters a storm!"

Cao Ying got up and leaned on the railing.

"Ah Fu, it's over!"

Cao Zhen whispered to Cao Peng.

But Cao Peng shook his head, "Big brother, look at it, if you can't eradicate Liu Bei, he will become your uncle's biggest enemy sooner or later." ”

"Call the son and come."

Cao Ying suddenly spoke, which made Cao Zhen and Cao Pi stunned.

Zihe is Cao Chun, the main general of the tiger and leopard riding now.

Cao Ying brought him here at this time, could it be ...... Everyone didn't say a word, and Xiahou Zhen didn't say anything, just silently added wine to them. After about a stick of incense, Cao Chun braved the heavy rain and hurried over.

"Immediately lead the tiger and leopard to ride and pursue Liu Bei.

Regardless of whether he lives or dies, as long as he sees him, he will be killed immediately. ”

"Whoa!"

Although Cao Chun didn't understand what was going on, why Cao Ying used the tiger and leopard ride to chase and kill Liu Bei.

But the military order is like a mountain, and Cao Chun will never ask the reason.

"Zidan, you attack together."

When Cao Zhen heard this, he hurriedly got up and gave up his hand.

Cao Peng's words finally made Cao Ying make up his mind to kill Liu Bei. If he was still a little hesitant before, then Cao Peng's sentence 'Jin Lin is a thing in the pool, and it will turn into a dragon when it encounters a storm', which suddenly added a sense of crisis to Cao Ying's heart.

Raising tigers is a problem!

"Ah Fu, during the First World War in Xuzhou, you made great contributions.

And I have not been rewarded, and you are resentful? ”

"No complaints!"

"Really?"

Cao Peng nodded vigorously, "My nephew doesn't distinguish between public and private, and he let go of Lu Bu's family, which is a crime of killing his head." My uncle did not ask me about the blame, but instead appointed me as a lieutenant, and my nephew was inexplicably grateful. Meritorious service will be rewarded, and mistakes will be punished, which is the foundation of this foothold. According to me, my uncle only rewards and does not punish, which is really unfair. ”

Xiahou was so anxious that he looked at him again and again.

How can there be such a person?

I have only heard of asking for merit and rewards, how can anyone ask for punishment on their own?

Cao Pi looked at Cao Peng in a daze, and a trace of respect suddenly appeared in his heart.

Cao Ying came back to his senses and patted Cao Peng on the shoulder.

"Ah Fu, that's a good point...... Meritorious service will be rewarded, and mistakes will be punished, which is based on the fundamentals. Actually, I've already punished you, but you just don't know it. Originally, I was going to appoint you as the commander of Guangling Nong, but because of this incident, I changed my mind, so that you only had a vacant position...... You're good! Afu, it's really good...... If I have a few more people like you, why should the world be worried? ”

Thunderstorms come and go quickly.

In the blink of an eye, the clouds cleared and the sky cleared.

The stone in Cao Peng's heart finally fell.

After the Battle of Xuzhou, Cao Peng didn't say anything, which made Cao Peng even more worried.

Now it seems that Cao Ying didn't blame him...... "Ah Da, it's time to review your homework." ”

"Ah, boy, go now."

Cao Pi hurriedly agreed, and then said hello to Cao Peng, and left in a hurry.

"Ah Zhen, you can go down too."

"Yes!"

Xiahou really got up, blessed slightly, and quietly withdrew from the pavilion.

"Ah Fu, someone recommended to me before that you be the captain of the white horse...... Oh, you don't have to guess, it's you recommended by Wenyuan.

I've been hesitating.

But now, I can make a decision. ”

"I would like to arrange it from my uncle."

"You stay in Xudu first......

"Huh?"

Cao Peng originally thought that Cao Ying would make him the captain of the white horse.

But he didn't expect him to make such a decision? Do you still not believe me? Or, something else?

"Come with me."

Cao Ying picked up his clothes and walked out of the pavilion.

Cao Peng didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly followed Cao Ying.

The two walked in the garden one after the other, and Cao Ying said: "Previously, Hugh Ruo had intended to let you apprentice Xun Zhongyu, but I didn't agree. ”

Xun Zhongyu?

Cao Peng was stunned for a moment and did not speak.

"Are you upset?"

"Ah, no!"

Cao Ying stopped and turned his head to look at Cao Peng, "Why?" This kind of thing will make anyone feel unhappy, so why are you? ”

Cao Peng scratched his head and showed a sincere smile.

"Mr. Zhongyu is a great talent, and I have also heard of his name. It's just that he didn't have time to compile the "Han Ji"; Second, Mr. is from the Yingchuan Xun clan, so he may not be able to look down on me. Even if Mr. Hugh Ruo recommended me, Mr. Zhongyu accepted me, and he may not be happy in his heart; The third ......"

"Huh?"

"Actually, when I was still in Jianyang, I admired a person and hoped to worship this person as a teacher."

"Who?"

Cao Peng couldn't help but hesitate, lowered his head, and refused to speak.

Cao Ying scolded with a smile: "The eldest husband should be cool and simple, why do you follow the attitude of the little daughter?" Tell me, who is it? I'm not going to be angry. ”

"Jia Xu!"

Cao Ying suddenly coughed violently.

He guessed that the person Cao Peng said might have something to do with him.

But he didn't expect that Cao Peng would say the name Jia Xu.

"Jia Xu? Jia Wenhe? ”

"Yes!"

"It's Zhang Xiu's military advisor, Jia Wenhe?"

Cao Peng nodded again.

"I can't help you...... Could it be that I have someone tie up Na Jia Xu and let you apprentice? However, in this world, there are countless celebrities and celebrities in Xudu City, why don't you choose, but you prefer Jia Xu? ”

"Although there are many celebrities in Xudu City, I can look down on others, and people don't look down on me; I can't look down on the person who likes me......"

"For example?"

"Well...... Kong Wenju? ”

Cao Ying thinks it's so funny!

Cao Peng gave him the feeling that he had always been very lawful. But now, he felt that the person in front of him was clearly still a child.

"Actually, he doesn't like me either."

Cao Ying pretended to be mysterious and lowered his voice: "However, I don't like him either...... It's a secret, and you are not allowed to tell anyone. ”

That innocent appearance made Cao Peng couldn't help laughing.

At this time, from the wet path, a beautiful woman came with a small child in her arms. The little boy ...... It's about two or three years old, and it's very cute. From afar, seeing Cao Ying, the child immediately opened his arms excitedly, desperately trying to break free from the beautiful woman's arms, and shouted vaguely: "Daddy! ”

"Cangshu!"

When Cao Ying saw the little child, the smile on his face was even bigger.

The beautiful woman looked helpless and put the child down. Cao Ying squatted down and spread his arms. I saw the child swaying step by step, stumbling, and staggering towards Cao Ying. Looking at his appearance that he might fall down at any time, Cao Peng felt anxious.

Just as he was thinking, the child stumbled and fell to the ground.

Cao Peng hurriedly ran over, and helped the child up without waiting for him to cry.

"Cangshu, you didn't fall."

Cao Ying and the beautiful woman ran forward, but saw the child staring at Cao Peng with dark eyes, looking at Cao Peng curiously. A finger was put in his mouth, then he grinned and smiled. Cao Peng couldn't help but reach out and gently wipe the traces on his face. At this time, Cao Ying came over, he hurriedly got up, and just wanted to retreat, but he didn't think about the child's little hand, but he grabbed his clothes tightly.

"Hey, Cangshu is very affectionate to you."

This kid is called Cang Shu?

Isn't that the famous Cao Xiaoxiang Cao Chong in later generations? Cao Peng looked at Cao Ying with some embarrassment, not knowing how to explain.

The beautiful woman smiled: "Cangshu never wants to be close to people, except for Sikong, that is, I am closer to Xiaozhen." Even his brothers are not very affectionate, but they didn't expect to fall in love with their son. General, who is this little boy? ”

Cao Peng recognized this beautiful woman as the woman who boarded the car outside the Huben Mansion at the beginning.

But it was clear that the beautiful woman no longer recognized him.

Cao Peng hurriedly said: "Humble Cao Peng." ”

"Ah, are you the Cao Peng who beat Zhang Fei and snatched his mount?"

Who, who is in the presence of Mrs. Huan, who has ruined my reputation? How do you say that I look like a bandit bully? What does it mean to snatch Zhang Fei's mount?

Come on, that's obviously loot, okay!

looked up, but saw Xiahou Zhen following behind Mrs. Huan, pursing his lips and snickering.

Cao Peng suddenly understood...... "Madam, it's not robbery, it's loot." ”

Cao Ying looked at Cao Peng's embarrassed appearance and couldn't help laughing.

He squatted down and stretched out his hand, "Cangshu, come here." ”

Cao Xiaoxiang looked at Cao Peng, and then at Cao Ying. With his fingers in his mouth, his eyes dripping and rolling, and after a while, he stumbled towards Cao Ying, and at the same time shouted vaguely: "Daddy......"

provoked Cao Ying, and there was another burst of happy laughter.

"By the way, I heard that your martial arts are not bad?"

"Oh, it's done."

"It's just okay?" Cao Ying said with a smile: "Jun Ming said that you have good martial arts, and you also have a general under your command, who can fight with Zhang Fei on a par with him." ”

"Oh...... Uncle said, but Gan Ning? ”

Cao Ying smiled and said, "It seems that what Jun Ming said is true...... Well, since you have a good martial arts, I can give you a gift. ”
