Chapter 649: Guilty of Petitioning
readx;
Since the beginning of winter, the weather has been unpredictable. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Suddenly it was sunny and suddenly cloudy, and there were several times when it looked like it was going to snow, but in the end, I didn't see half a snowflake. However, on the day Cao Cao arrived in Xiangyang, the first snow finally came. Snowflakes with goose feathers began to fall in the afternoon, and they did not stop after nightfall. Cao Cao did not live in the state party, and still let Mrs. Cai's mother and son stay there...... He also heard a lot about what happened in Xiangyang during this time. Including Cao Peng's acceptance of Liu Cong as a disciple, Cao Cao is also clear.
Cao Cao didn't pay much attention to this matter.
Mrs. Cai's purpose in doing this is very obvious, she wants to find a backer......
Cao Peng is the most favored part of his account, and with the name of the text, it is reasonable for Mrs. Cai to arrange it this way.
Long before arriving in Jingzhou, Cao Cao had already thought about the arrangements for Mrs. Cai's mother and son. Liu Cong will inherit the title of Marquis of Wu from Liu Biao, worship the Zhonglang general, Yilang, add the smelting captain, reward 500 households, and stay in Xingyang. This can also be regarded as Cao Cao selling Cao Peng a face. You see, I still take good care of your students...... Of course, these positions basically have no power.
Whether it is Cheng Wuhou or Yilang, they are all false positions.
And the captain of Zhuye, as the name suggests, is responsible for smelting weapons and is in charge of the Heyi workshop.
But the problem is that Liu Cong doesn't understand these things at all, and it is impossible for him to meddle in the specific affairs of Daohe No. 1 Workshop, which is still a fictitious position.
Cao Peng settled in Xingyang, and you, as Cao Peng's disciple, will honestly stay there for me.
Everything you need, you won't be missing half a point. And in Xingyang, under the name of Cao Peng, local officials will not embarrass Liu Cong.
Mrs. Cai's mother and son are very happy about this.
Although there is no power, there is no shortage of glory and wealth.
The most important thing is that Cao Cao acquiesced to Liu Cong's worship of Cao Peng as a teacher, which is equivalent to adding a guarantee to their mother and son.
It's just that Cao Cao is not happy.
"Prime Minister, Youxue is outside, and he has been kneeling for a long time."
"I know."
Cao Cao walked behind the door and looked out through the gap, and saw goose feathers and heavy snow falling one after another, dyeing the sky and the earth white. In the courtyard, Cao Peng was shirtless, carrying a few wattles on his back, kneeling there alone, looking as pitiful as he was......
The dissatisfaction in the stomach seems to have been reduced a lot at once.
Cao Cao gritted his teeth and said: "If you don't teach him a good lesson, he won't know how thick the sky is."
used to indulge Lu Bu's family, and I spared his life; Now he is becoming more and more arrogant, and he even let Liu Bei's family and his heirs go together, which is really arrogant. ”
Cao Peng privately indulged in the affairs of Liu Bei's family, and he couldn't hide it from Cao Cao.
There are so many people at the head of Dangyang Bridge, there are tigers and leopards to ride, and there are also ordinary Cao soldiers and Cao Jun. Who can guarantee that there are not a few Cao Cao's henchmen in it? Before Cao Cao arrived in Xiangyang, he heard about it. When he learned that Cao Peng was secretly conniving with Liu Bei's family, he was furious!
But don't get me wrong, Cao Cao didn't feel sorry for Mrs. Gan and them.
Although he is lustful and extremely loving to ***, most of them are willing, and there are few forced actions. At the beginning, he also captured Liu Bei's wife, but didn't he return it to Liu Bei in the end? Of course, Cao Cao had the intention to recruit Liu Bei at that time, but he didn't understand the truth that his wife was young. If he had to do it as a last resort, he would rarely do that kind of thing. Don't look at the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it is often full of beheadings...... In fact, when Cao Cao was in power, he would not have given such an order unless he had to.
Cao Cao was angry, he was angry at Cao Peng's wanton behavior.
Even if I want to let go of Liu Bei's wife and children, I should do it......
It's better that you didn't even notice and just let you go on the battlefield. If you're greedy for beauty, I can accept that. But you're just a general, and you're making such a bold move. If you don't teach Cao Peng some lessons, won't you have no law in the future?
Cao Cao has already thought about it, and when he arrives in Xiangyang, he must teach Cao Peng a lesson.
Who knows, without waiting for him to speak, Cao Peng sent it to the door by himself. And he still looked guilty, kneeling outside shirtless. This also made Cao Cao's mood improve a lot...... I thought you were so bold, but it turned out that you, a kid, were also afraid.
In this way, Cao Cao's mood was more comfortable.
He said to Xu Chu, who was on duty: "Zhongkang, let that bastard boy report to me and come in." ”
In the past two years, Xu Chu and Dian Wei have gradually lost the opportunity to fight. However, every time there is a war, this hum and the two generals are like two door gods, and they will inevitably follow. Cao Cao himself, too! If there is no Dian Wei Xu Chu by his side, he will feel very unsafe, and even sleepless all night.
It happened to be Xu Chu on duty today, so I saw him walk out of the room and come to Cao Peng's side with a smile.
"Youxue, the prime minister wants you, report to the door."
Generally speaking, this is an extremely insulting order. It's just that for Cao Peng, in this small courtyard, there are no outsiders. Cao Cao still saved face for him, and let a group of guards evacuate early, only his henchmen followed.
Therefore, this 'report to the door' is more to warn Cao Peng than to insult.
Cao Peng knelt in the snow for a long time, and it was really cold. It is also because of his good health, and he has practiced the Five Fowl Opera and the Seven Transformations of the White Tiger over the years, which has greatly improved his physique and allowed him to persevere. But even so, kneeling in the snow for a long time still made his face pale and his lips blue. Hearing Xu Chu's words, he hurriedly stood up. But his body was very stiff and almost fell headlong.
Xu Chu stretched out his hand and supported Cao Peng.
"You kid, what's the matter...... Every time I let you out, you are doing well, but you are always going to cause trouble. ”
"This ......"
"Alright, let's get in quickly."
Cao Peng moved his limbs, coughed, took a step forward, and said loudly: "The last general Cao Peng, meet the prime minister." ”
There was no movement in the house!
"The last general, Cao Peng, meet the prime minister."
Cao Peng took another step, but there was still no movement in the room.
In this way, Cao Peng shouted seven times in a row, and Cao Cao finally spoke: "Bastard, don't come in yet." ”
Cao Peng walked into the room in three steps and two steps, and two colonels came up, one to relieve him of the thorns on the ***, and the other held a cotton robe and draped it on Cao Peng's body. Xiao Xiao put the thorn staff beside Cao Cao, smiled at Cao Peng, and exited the room.
In the room, only Cao Peng and Cao Cao were left.
Cao Peng stood in the room, trembling vigorously. The snowflakes on the head melted into water, slid down the cheeks, and dripped onto the floor.
In the room, there are six braziers, which make the room very warm.
Cao Cao looked at Cao Peng's embarrassed appearance, suddenly laughed, picked up a dry face towel from the big chair, and threw it to Cao Peng. Cao Peng hurriedly took it, wiped his face, and dried his wet hair. Carefully put the face towel aside, then prostrate on the ground, and said respectfully: "Uncle Xie is not killed." ”
"When did I say I wouldn't kill you?"
"My uncle gave a friend a face towel to show his love for his friend.
If you want to take your friend's life, how can this be? ”
"I want you to die a decent death."
After Cao Cao finished speaking, he couldn't help but laugh again. For Cao Peng, I don't know why, Cao Cao just can't afford to be angry. He took a deep breath and asked with some tears and laughter: "Okay, now tell me, why did you let Liu Bei's family and wife go?"
I've heard that you're doing this for a military general? ”
"Uncle, what is the use of Liu Bei's family?"
"This ......"
Cao Cao was stunned and scratched his head, "It's always of some use." ”
"Uncle should know that Liu Xuande is ruthless and unrighteous, and he is the most ruthless man in the world.
He can say, 'Wives are like garments, and brothers are like siblings.' The clothes are torn, they can still be sewn, the hands and feet are broken, and the words of 'can be continued' show that he does not attach importance to his wife and children. This person is a hero, and he is good at selling his reputation and reputation. If the prime minister deduces from common sense, it doesn't make much sense.
Even if he has a small wife and a small family, he will not give in.
On the contrary, it will also cause the prime minister to suffer infamy; Kill, ominous; If you don't kill, it's useless to stay...... Rather than that, let them go. ”
Cao Cao looked at Cao Peng, noncommittal, and did not speak.
Cao Peng continued: "Uncle should know, Xiahou Ziyou? ”
"You mean, Xiahou Lan, the captain of the Hexi Commanding Army, the Xiahou Ziyou who lost the bet with you back then and became your retainer?"
"Exactly."
"Under Liu Bei's account, there is a fierce general, who is extremely brave.
This person's name is Zhao Yun, and he is from the same door as Ziyoushi. Ziyou once asked his nephew, if he met Zhao Yun, it was best to persuade him to surrender...... However, that Zhao Yun was a dead eye, and he didn't know where he thought Liu Bei was good and loyal to him. The little nephew saw that he was strong in martial arts, and he couldn't bear to ruin his life. In addition, Ziyou once entrusted it, and the little nephew thought about it, and only used this method to let him surrender......
However, the little nephew let Liu Bei's family go, but there is still a layer of meaning. ”
Cao Cao said: "You guy, you have a seven-inch tongue...... I'd like to hear what you can say. ”
Cao Peng took a deep breath: "As far as my nephew knows, Liu Bei's account is not single-minded.
Liu Bei raised troops from Zhuo County, rose in Xuzhou, moved to the north, and finally settled in Jingchu. Their parts come from all over the world, and they are full of contradictions with each other. Previously, there was Xun Chen, so Liu Bei didn't need to worry about these things, Xun Chen was enough to suppress the contradictions. But now, Zhuge Liang is Liu Bei's mastermind, this person is resourceful, often compares himself to Zhong Leyi, and has outstanding talents. It's just that although he has high talent, he has shallow qualifications. After Liu Bei came to Jingchu, he recruited troops and recruited virtuous ministers. In this way, it also caused contradictions between his old people and the Jingxiangshi people. Previously, Mrs. Gan gave birth to a son named Liu Chan; And Mrs. Xiang also gave birth to a son, named Liu Li.
For this reason, who is the heir of the two sons, Liu Bei's subordinates have many conflicts......
Now let them go back, just to let Liu Bei's account continue to fight. The more fiercely they fought, wouldn't it be better for Uncle Yu? ”
"This ......"
Cao Cao couldn't help frowning and fell into deep thought.
Cao Peng's words make sense, he has also heard of these things.
Even before the expedition, Guo Jia had analyzed it for him, and he talked about it.
Now that he heard Cao Peng say it, he also felt quite agreeable.
So, Cao Cao pondered for a moment and raised his head. Just seeing Cao Peng's smug appearance, Cao Cao was angry in his heart.
"You said that Zhao Yun is strong in martial arts, so just let him come to work under my account."
"Huh?"
When Cao Peng heard this, he made a bitter face, "Uncle, it's not that I don't want Zhao Yun to work, it's just that I just said that that guy is a dead brain...... He surrendered out of desperation. There is no benefit in using him at this time. Besides, although this Zhao Yun's martial arts are good, it is not enough to be on his own. Why don't you let him stay with me, wait for my nephew to sharpen him, and then use it with my uncle? ”
Cao Cao just felt that the name Zhao Yun was a little familiar.
He also heard Zhang He say that this person entered and exited seven times in Changban Slope, killed dozens of Cao generals, and countless ordinary soldiers. In addition, there were at least fifty or sixty horsemen of the tiger and leopard, who died under his spear. It can be seen that this Zhao Yun is indeed a strong general...... But the return of courage to courage does not mean that Cao Cao must use him. By Cao Cao's side, there is still Dian Wei Xu Chu, who may not belong to that Zhao Yun. And he has fierce generals under his account, not to mention Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Yu Ban, Li Dian, Zhang He, Lejin and others, but just this family, there are Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Cao Chun, Cao Xiu, Cao Zhen and Cao Peng...... Especially Cao Peng, who also has the courage to be unstoppable, Cao Cao really doesn't value Zhao Yun too much.
He just wanted to disgust Cao Peng, lest he be too proud.
Seeing Cao Peng's bitter face, Cao Cao was happy!
"That's it, I snatched a Gan Xingba from you before, and I made you mutter for a long time.
Now that Zhao Yun is going to rob you again, won't he be talked about again? Since you want to sharpen him, it's better to stay by your side.
However, after all, he is a general, as you said, you are also forced to surrender, you still have to be careful. ”
"The last will be saved!"
Cao Peng arched his hand and said: "My father sent someone to deliver a letter some time ago, saying that Wudu Ma Chao, with the support of Zhang Lu in recent years, has gradually recovered his vitality, and his soldiers are strong and strong. That Jin Ma Chao is also a brave person, although there are good generals around his father, but there are not too many people who can resist Ma Chao. The nephew wanted Zhao Yun to go to Liangzhou to assist his father in defending against Ma Mengqi. With Zhao Yun's heroic strength, coupled with the advice of Yuan Zhi and others, it will be able to make Guanzhong foolproof. ”
"Well, that's a viable option."
Cao Cao thought about it and felt that it was not impossible, so he nodded and agreed.
Cao Peng still has Huang Zhong and Pang De by his side, which is enough to deal with those guys. Now, he has ordered these two people to be the Tiger Rider General and the Leopard Rider General, although the official position is not heavy, but in terms of power, it is the Seventh Colonel of the Northern Army. The seventh lieutenant of the Northern Army is only in charge of 2,000 people.
After Cao Cao's arrival, the tiger cavalry and the leopard cavalry each had 5,000 people, which was more than the number of troops under the jurisdiction of the seventh lieutenant of the Northern Army.
Not to mention, the nature of the tiger and leopard riding is far from being comparable to the seven schools of the Northern Army. If you pay attention to it, Cao Cao is even more serious about tiger and leopard riding.
"That's it for this time."
Cao Cao thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "But you didn't count the merits you made before, you know it in your own heart."
Tomorrow and will arrive in Xiangyang, I have dismissed him from his post as the Taishou of Nanyang, and sent him to Runan.
This Nanyang County Captain, as well as the Nanyang County Captain, I will make other arrangements...... Zihe will also step down as the governor of the Haw Par Cavalry, so you can take his place.
For the next few days you have been stationed outside the city, waiting for your command.
Now Jingzhou is newly attached, and there are many things to do. You take the tiger and leopard to ride, inspect the southern county, and eliminate the bandits, and you must not make it mess up the current situation. At the beginning of spring next year, there will be envoys from the state of Youzhou, and when the time comes, you will go and receive it on my behalf......"
Training?
It's the duty.
Cao Peng is not surprised.
It's just that Yizhou sent an envoy here, what's going on?
