The weather is getting colder and colder, and considering everyone's rest, the first shift at 11 o'clock in the evening will be distributed in advance to 9 o'clock.

People say that spring and summer are long and autumn are harvested and stored in winter, now is the season of maintenance, and resting early is good for the body, and it is also a little wish from the old and new to everyone.

——————————————————————————————

At the beginning of the thirteenth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao took advantage of the great victory of Liaodong and returned to Xudu.

Then, he dismissed the post of the three dukes, reset the prime minister, set up the prime minister's mansion, and held the thirteen Cao, and served the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes. From then on, the Han Emperor had no room to speak in the court, and all affairs were handled by the Prime Minister's Office, and the Prime Minister's affairs were completely hollowed out. Since then, Cao Sikong has become Prime Minister Cao Cheng, powerful and arrogant.

That is, in that year, Cao Cao encountered the Battle of Chibi.

In the end, it was a fiasco......

What did the defeat of the Battle of Chibi bring to Cao Cao?

It's hard to tell!

But one thing is certain, that is, the Battle of Chibi was undoubtedly the first battle after Cao Cao became prime minister. And the defeat in this war is not only military, but also political. At least, it had a great impact on Cao Cao, the first prime minister since the Eastern Han Dynasty.

It was after that that Cao Cao was hit by all sides.

Because of his failure, all parties took turns to accuse him, and the Xiliang Rebellion occurred, which made it take Cao Cao several years to be pacified.

Cao Peng put down the paperwork, got up and walked out of the study.

In the twilight summer of the eleventh year of Jian'an, the temperature is not high. In fact, the whole summer is not hot, and it is quite a comfortable summer.

Autumn is coming.

The flowers in bloom in the courtyard have shown a withered color.

The wind was soft, blowing through the water surface of the pond in the backyard, bringing ripples. Cao Peng walked up to the water pavilion promenade, holding on to the railing, looking at the rippling autumn water in the pond, the corners of his mouth slightly curled, revealing a strange smile. Fengxiao, it's really a ghost!

He only mentioned one sentence, and Guo Jia reacted.

Historically, Cao Cao also reset the post of prime minister, and when he mentioned it today, it was just a push along the river, advancing the time by two years......

To reset the prime minister, there needs to be an opportunity.

At the beginning, Cao Cao relied on the great victory of conquering Liaodong and unifying the north, and naturally became the prime minister.

Although the north is not completely unified, the trend of unification is unstoppable. The annexation of the Lu clan to the Han Kingdom is not inferior to or even more prominent and amazing than the merit of unifying the north in history. Since the Han Dynasty, the so-called merit is nothing more than expanding the territory. In the later period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he worked hard and lost money, and was mediocre and confused, which made the dynasty chaotic. But when everyone mentions him, they will raise their thumbs.

Why?

Because of his expansion of territory, he defeated the Xiongnu.

The annexation of the Lu Han Kingdom is undoubtedly a contribution to the expansion of the territory.

Cao Cao relied on this, enough to ascend to the position of prime minister, just like in history, he became prime minister. A year and a half in advance, there is undoubtedly a huge benefit. That is, after Cao Cao ascended to the position of prime minister, the next battle of Liwei was against Liaodong, not in Chibi.

The power of Sun and Liu's alliance is far from being comparable to that of the little Yuan Xi.

Therefore, even if Cao Cao is arrogant and complacent, it is enough to kill Yuan Xi.

With this great victory, Cao Cao can sit firmly in the position of prime minister without any twists and turns. As for how Cao Cao ascended to the throne? How to pass through the court? Cao Peng won't ask! With Guo Jia and Dong Zhao and those people here, it is not his turn to bother. All he has to do is to put this from the beginning, and let Guo Jia and them operate the specific things. Anyway, in the end, there will be his Cao Peng's credit.

Thinking of this, Cao Peng gently tapped the railing.

However, how to solve the problem of Nanyang?

"Childe!"

A retainer of the Guo Mansion bowed outside the water pavilion.

"There was a man named Du Ji outside the house, who said that he was invited by the master to come to pay a visit. Madame asked the villain to come and inform the childe. ”

Du Ji is here!

Cao Peng retracted his thoughts, turned around and said, "Come with me to greet you." ”

The retainers of the Guo Mansion were stunned.

What is the origin of this lord in front of you? He knew it very well. Just looking at this master, he dared to smash the table case in front of Cao Sikong's son, and he was furious, but Cao Sikong's son was so silent that he was so scared that he didn't even dare to let go of a fart, he knew how powerful this master was. The master was quite kind to this master; Madame has great respect for this master; The little boy admires this master even more.

Cao Peng's reputation is in Xudu, but it is very loud.

Six years ago, he broke into the palace of the general of the auxiliary country, opened a killing ring, and cut off the hand of the ambush, which is still vivid in his mind and talked about by the people.

Not to mention, the exploits he later established in the Northwest.

Let's just say that he was imprisoned in Xingyang, but he used a blessing paper building to stir up the entire upper echelons of Xu Du to go crazy.

That literary talent, that fame, that power...... and the ability to make money, all of which are talked about by the peddlers and pawns in the market. Even the retainers of the Guo Mansion have great respect for Cao Peng. In particular, he was angry yesterday, but now he is safe and sound, and the clues can be seen.

The man outside the door looked extremely depressed.

But this master is so solemn that he wants to go to greet him in person.

Fortunately, I didn't snub the other party just now, otherwise I would have been walking around without eating......

While speaking, Cao Peng followed his retainers to the gate of Guo's mansion. With Cao Peng's order, the gate of Guo's mansion was also opened.

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

Speaking of Du Ji, in history, or in the history of Cao Wei, he is not an idle person.

After this person got Xun Yu's recommendation, Cao Cao took him as the official and moved to protect the Qiang lieutenant. And make the festival and lead the West to keep it. Later, he went out of the town of Hedong and made remarkable achievements. At that time, the world was in turmoil, and the county was in tatters. Hedong, on the other hand, was the first to recover under Du Ji's rule.

When Han Sui Ma Teng rebelled, Guanzhong was in turmoil.

Only in Hedong, there was no rebellion. After Cao Pi ascended the throne, he gave Du Ji as the Marquis of Guannei, and later he was still a scholar, and he entered the Marquis of Fengle Pavilion, and was the captain of the Shou Si Li.

Such a prominent figure in history did not appear in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

If it weren't for Du Ji having a great grandson, Cao Peng might not even know about this person. Jingzhao Dushi also arose because of this person. After the restoration of 400 years, the early Tang Dynasty famous minister Du Ruhui was also born from this Jingzhao Du clan, and was the descendant of Du Ji.

It's just that today's Du Ji is extremely down.

At the beginning, the world was in turmoil, and Du Yi, who was the governor of Hanzhong Mansion, abandoned his official position, took his family from Guanzhong, and fled to Jingzhou, which was relatively stable.

In a flash, nearly twenty years.

Du Ji was in Jingzhou and was never able to get a chance.

It's no wonder that he has no ability, the Jingzhou Shi clan is an extremely exclusive group. Even those old people brought over from Shanyang under Liu Biao, after more than ten years, have not been able to integrate into the circle of the Jingxiang clan. To this day, people on both sides are facing each other and clashing constantly. Not to mention that Du Ji, an outsider with no reputation, poverty and despair, and no background and backing, can stand firm?

After 20 years, Du Yi finally couldn't hold on.

In the third year of Jian'an, his son Du Shu was born, and his wife, who was the most affectionate and accompanied him to wander and wander together, but never complained, died of illness. Because of this, Du Yi also had the idea of returning home. coincided with Liu Xian's envoy to Xudu, and Du Yi took his son to Xudu from Jingzhou. However, after arriving in Xudu, he discovered the problem. He has no background and backers in Jingxiang, and when he comes to Xudu, he also has no background and backers. With the help of relatives, he served as a city gate official in Xudu, and he was settled.

It's just that a mere official, how can he make Du Ji satisfied?

The price of goods in Xudu is the most expensive place in the entire Central Plains, except for Luoyang.

is the income of the small officials, which is enough to make ends meet. But my son is getting older and older, and he is also old enough to go to school, but he can't go to school because he has no money.

Du Yi, how can you not be in a hurry?

I have been in Xudu for more than a year, but I still haven't found a way.

I heard that now the hometown of Guanzhong is being restored, and with the opening of Hexi, especially the Hexi Corridor, there are many opportunities.

Du Ji moved his mind and wanted to go back to his hometown to try his luck.

But he didn't want to, just when he had just made up his mind to leave Xudu, the opportunity he had been looking for for a year and a half finally came! Just the day before yesterday, Du Ji suddenly received a notice that it was Sikong Sacrificial Wine Guo Jia Guo Fengxiao, and he asked him to see him by name and let him go to the house.

When Guo Jia and Du Yi met, they did not reveal their identities.

Therefore, Du Ji never knew that the man who drank with him in the tattered wine shop on Caochang Street turned out to be the Sikong sacrificial wine that Cao Cao trusted the most in Sikong Mansion today. So much so that when Du Ji heard about it, he was at a loss in the face of his colleagues' inquiries. Hasn't he been waiting for this opportunity, though? Now that the opportunity has come, he has to try his luck no matter what.

borrowed money, rented two new clothes, and took out the boots that had been treasured for many years and that his wife had sewn for him before she died, and put them on his feet. Also spent ten five baht on a sachet. This was the favorite attire of the scholars. I went to the Fu Paper Building again and bought a bamboo paper fan. It is said that this fan is made by the famous Gongzi Peng, Cao San, and is divided into three materials, such as silk, silk, and paper, and is loved by today's scholars. Du Ji can't afford that kind of silk fan, but he also has to wear a bamboo paper fan so as not to lose face.

Everything was ready, and Du Yi was bitter in his heart.

Whether it can succeed or not, in this move.

This outfit cost him a month's salary. If he doesn't succeed, he really won't be able to gain a foothold in Xudu......

Holding his son's hand in one hand, Du Ji stood outside the gate of Guo's mansion, feeling uneasy.

He also didn't know how Guo Jia knew his name. I don't know, can I get into the eyes of the other party like this?

Just when Du Yi was worried, he suddenly heard the door slam and opened.

Du Yi was stunned and hurriedly turned back to observe.

The wide opening of the middle door means that there are distinguished guests. With Guo Jia's identity and status, I am afraid that there are few people in Xudu, who are worthy of him to be so excited. At least in Du Ji's opinion, he does not have such qualifications. So he subconsciously pulled his son to the side, showing a trace of panic and loss on his face. If a distinguished guest comes, doesn't it mean that he has come in vain today? In that case, I don't know when I will wait for the next opportunity...... In my heart, a sudden surge of sorrow poured out. Du Ji sighed softly and pulled Du Shu to prepare to leave.

"Dare to ask, is Du Bohou outside the door?"

A loud voice sounded in Du Qi's ears.

Du Yi was stunned, and when he looked back, he saw a tall young man with a short beard under his chin and a burly body, striding out.

The young man was about 185 centimeters tall.

Born with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, he has a strong physique. A moon-white robe, apparently specially made of the most expensive silk silk, is extraordinarily fitted.

Looking at the face, the complexion is slightly wheaty, revealing a healthy vitality.

Thick eyebrows, big eyes, straight nose and square mouth.

The young man walked out of the gate and stood up the doorway, and suddenly people felt an irresistible majesty. That powerful aura is by no means something that ordinary people can have. If it weren't for a person in a high position or an extraordinary position, it would never be so prestigious......

This doesn't seem to be Guo Jia Guo's sacrificial wine!

Du Ji has heard that Guo Jia is a weak and delicate person, not such an imposing person.

"Father!"

Du Shu gently tugged Du Ji, and then subconsciously dodged behind Du Ji.

This person's aura is too strong.

It was so powerful that Du Shu felt an inexplicable tension and fear. This is not only true for him as a child, but also for Du Qi.

He came to his senses, hurriedly took two steps forward, bowed and saluted, "Du Bohou, the little official at the city gate, meet the prince." ”

"You, is Du Ji?"

Cao Peng showed a smile and looked Du Ji up and down.

This Du Ji's age, according to Guo Jia, is only in his early forties. But it looks like his temples are gray and a little old. The tribulations of life left deep furrows on Du Yi's face. He used to be a good-looking man, but now he looks quite depressed.

"The little officer is exactly."

For some reason, in front of Cao Peng, Du Ji was inexplicably nervous.

When he spoke, he also became extremely cautious, trembling, and walking on thin ice.

Just as he was wondering in his heart what the identity of this young man was, Cao Peng stepped forward and grabbed Du Ji's arm at once.

"Du Bohou, why did you come so late? I've been waiting for a long time. ”

Du Qi, stunned!

That big hand, so powerful that he couldn't break free.

And from those words, Du Ji also seemed to hear some clues: the person in front of him was waiting for him...... Could it be that the middle gate was opened just to welcome him, a small official at the city gate?

In Du Ji's heart, a warm current suddenly swelled.

My nose was sour, and my tears almost flowed......

How many years!

No one had ever treated him like this...... Thinking that at the beginning, Liu Biao entered Jingzhou, and he went to defect with confidence, but he was driven away at the gate. Twenty years have passed, and the people are warm and cold, and the world is hot and cold, which also makes Du Ji see it really. Now this sudden respect made Du Ji feel like he had fallen into a dream, and he was in a hurry for a while, and he didn't know how to answer.

"Father, uncle is talking to you."

"Ah......h

Du Qi only reacted.

And Cao Peng noticed the little boy beside Du Ji.

He looked no more than six or seven years old, with a small physique, evidently malnourished, and a slightly vegetable-looking complexion. However, those eyes are full of spirituality, which makes people inevitably love it at first sight. Cao Peng let go of Du Ji and squatted down.

"Doll, what's it called?"

"Xiaomin Du Shu, I've seen the son."

Du Shu is like a little adult, respectful and polite, neither humble nor arrogant.

Cao Peng couldn't help laughing, and reached out to pick up Du Shu...... This kid is so light.

"Let's go, Uncle will take you to play." After that, he walked towards the mansion, stopped after two steps, turned his head to look at Du Ji who was still standing outside the mansion gate, and frowned, "Bohou, let's go...... How long are you going to stand here? Come with me and drink. ”

"Dare to ask Childe ......"

You didn't even make it clear who you are, and you took my son and left?

Du Ji hurriedly asked.

Cao Peng smiled: "My name is Cao Peng...... Bonghyo recommended you to me and said that you are a person who does great things. Therefore, I invite you to come, and seek a fortune. ”
