Chapter 636 Carding (3)

Cao Peng also had a letter in his hand, a letter to Wang Wei. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Wang Wei's position is not particularly high, and his reputation is not very loud. At least in the Jingzhou system, his reputation is far worse than that of a civil service. But if you despise this person because of this, it is a big mistake! In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Wang Wei did not appear. But in real history, he almost gave Lao Cao a fatal blow. At that time, Jingzhou had surrendered, but Cao Cao had not yet gained a foothold.

Wang Wei once suggested that while Cao Cao's foothold was not stable, he would send troops to attack.

If it succeeds, it will be a replica of the Second Battle of Wan. As it was at the time, there was a great deal of hope that the plan would be successful. It's a pity that Cai Mao is not Zhang Xiu, and she doesn't have Zhang Xiu's courage. In the end, Cai Mao vetoed Wang Wei's idea, which also made Cai miss the best opportunity. At the same time, it is precisely for this reason that Cao Cao became suspicious of the influence of the Liu family and the Cai family in Jingxiang. In the end, Cao Cao drove Liu Cong out of Jingzhou and gave a liehou knighthood, which was completely empty.

Wang Wei used to be Deng Ji's old superior.

When Cao Peng was in Nanyang, Deng Ji wrote a letter and asked Cao Peng to pass it on to Wang Wei.

It's a pity that Cao Peng never found a chance......

Wang Wei is now a captain of the Xiangcheng Army, which is not a very prominent official position. But as far as Jingzhou is concerned, this Xiangyang commander is similar to General Wei, who holds the position of Jinwu and is responsible for the security of Xiangyang. This is a very important position, and even a clerk cannot take on it. If it can be said that Wang Wei will be lowered, it will be able to make Mrs. Cai make up her mind to a great extent. As far as Cao Peng is concerned, Wang Wei can also be used to accelerate his pace of integrating Jingxiang. Of course, one Wang Wei is far from enough, Kuai Yue Kuailiang Wen hired these people, they are all extremely important roles, and there can be no negligence. However, there are important things, and Cao Peng believes that for now, Wang Wei is the best breakthrough. Just because this Wang Wei is a native of Nanyang, he has a friendship with Cao Peng, and he was once Deng Ji's official. With these two layers of relationship, it can effectively cut into the affairs of Xiangyang...... The most important thing is that Wang Wei has military power in his hands!

After nightfall, Xiangyang began a night fastband.

After the turmoil of the day, Liu Biao's first seven funeral sacrifices ended in a hurry.

After today, Jingzhou has also entered the post-Liu Biao period. In the face of the chaotic situation in Jingxiang, Xiangyang City seems to be calm, but in fact it is an undercurrent.

When he left Wang Wei's mansion, he saw that it was almost time.

Cao Peng felt inexplicably tired, but his mood was very happy.

The meeting with Wang Wei was quite pleasant.

Especially when Cao Peng presented Deng Ji's letter, Wang Wei's attitude suddenly eased a lot. Wang Wei is a typical Jingxiang faction, but he is different from the capitulation faction like Cai Mao and Zhang Yun. More often, Wang Wei belongs to the Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang lineages, and agrees with the idea of Jingzhou affairs and Jing Renzhi. Therefore, although his attitude towards Cao Peng was somewhat resistant at first, it was not particularly hostile.

After seeing Deng Ji's letter, Wang Wei suddenly became much closer to Cao Peng.

"Youxue, uncle and grandson are okay now?"

"My brother is good...... I got the news that the imperial court has appointed my brother as the Taishou of Hedong, and he will go to the post after the year. He planned to come back to visit his hometown, but he didn't want his sister to be pregnant, so his brother had to stay in Xingyang. He also sent someone to explain to me that when he saw General Wang, he should be the gift of his elder brother, and he should not be neglected. The younger brother has long wanted to visit the general, but ...... Now that I finally have the opportunity to meet with the general, I can finally have an explanation with my brother. ”

Cao Peng's words were clear and implicit.

Don't worry about your future, my brother-in-law will always remember you...... The reason why I couldn't speak freely in the past was because of the situation, but now Liu Biao is dead, if Jingzhou surrenders to the imperial court, my family can protect your future, which is far better than today's position.

There are still some disagreements as to whether Jingzhou should surrender to Cao Cao or unite with Eastern Wu to stand on its own.

Overall, however, the voice of Cao Cao's surrender prevailed. It's just that many people are worried that after the surrender, there will be no guarantee for the afterlife. For example, Wang Wei, he is also worried that after Jingzhou is annexed, it will affect his future. And Deng Ji's letter undoubtedly gave Wang Wei a reassurance. After pushing the cup and changing the cup with Cao Peng, although Wang Wei did not make a clear statement, he faintly revealed his thoughts.

As long as Gongzi Cong surrenders, my side will never set up obstacles!

With such a guarantee, it is a great victory for Cao Peng.

Leaving the palace, Cao Peng took Lu Mao to the official post and returned. The night was deep, and I don't know when, a layer of light fog rose, shrouding Xiangyang City in this light fog, and the vision became extremely blurred. On the long and silent street, there was no one in sight. The shops on both sides of the street are closed and locked after dark. The entire city of Xiangyang was shrouded in this strange silence. Occasionally, the footsteps of the patrolmen in the distance can be heard, as well as the sound of fighting from the direction of the city gate, which adds a lot of inexplicable treachery to this ancient city.

Wang Wei has expressed his willingness to cooperate.

Next, it depends on the attitude of the Kuaiyue Kuailiang brothers......

Kuai's attitude is basically certain, and they will not set up too many obstacles. It's just that the news from Cai Zhong Cai He, Cai's attitude, seems to be still hesitating. This also made Cao Peng's mood a little heavy. Why did Chua hesitate?

The reason for this is that I am afraid that the pressure is not enough!

Thinking of this, Cao Peng couldn't help but secretly let out a sigh of relief.

Perhaps, we should put some more pressure on the Cai family, otherwise it will not be a good thing to let them hesitate like this......

"Zizhang, after dawn, you will send someone to Xiangxiang."

Cao Peng thought for a while and said to Lu Mao: "Take my order arrow, tell Brother Zidan, and ask him to take Zhangling for me within three days." ”

After talking to Mrs. Cai, Cao Peng knew that this lady was actually not an ambitious woman.

Everything she does revolves around two points. One is her son Liu Cong, and the other is her family. Cao Peng can guarantee these two points, why can't he make up his mind for a long time? The reason is not Mrs. Cai, but because of Cai Mao.

Cai Mao hopes to obtain more benefits with the capital in her hands.

And he is the elder brother of Mrs. Cai, and at the same time he is in charge of the Jingzhou Navy, and his authority is far heavier than that of the Kuai family.

Mrs. Cai is largely influenced by Cai Mao! This point was indeed beyond Cao Peng's expectations...... Originally, I thought that the problem was with Mrs. Cai. But according to the news from Cai He, the root cause is indeed Cai Mao's body. In this regard, after thinking about it for a long time, Cao Peng decided to teach Cai Mao some lessons. The best way is to capture Zhangling and completely pull out Jingzhou's power in Nanyang.

"Childe, in this way, will it anger Cai Deju?"

Lu Mao was a little worried and reminded Cao Pengdao.

After all, Cao Peng is now in Jingzhou and is in deep danger.

If Cao Zhen captures Zhang Ling, will it stimulate Cai Mao?

Cao Peng couldn't help laughing, "Liu Hu is Liu Qi's arm, if Zidan can really capture Zhangling, Cai Mao will not blame, but will be happy." This guy does have the means to govern the water army. It's just that the ambition is too big, and I don't know the current situation...... The trend of the times is not what he can resist. The sooner you surrender, the sooner you are liberated. If you leave him with illusions, it will make him more ambitious and troublesome. ”

Lu Mao thought about it and felt that what Cao Peng said was also quite reasonable.

So, instead of persuasion, he surrendered and left.

Sending Lu Mao away, Cao Peng breathed a sigh of relief. After solving Wang Wei's troubles, the next step is the Kuai brothers and Wenpin...... These three people are different from Wang Wei, on one side are Jingxiang celebrities, and on the other side are Jingzhou generals. If these three people nodded, I'm afraid Cai Mao would have repeatedly.

Early tomorrow morning, visit Wenpin!

Cao Peng pondered for a long time and decided on this order.

Kuai's attitude is already very clear, and after these days of communication, Cao Peng is also clear about their concerns. In the final analysis, Kuai's problem is the problem of a township party. They adhered to the principle of 'Jingzhou affairs, Jing people's rule', and to solve the concerns of these two people, Cao Cao must come out. But in the general direction, Kuaishi will not set up obstacles, more about the details.

The real trouble is still the clerk's appointment!

As the first general in Jingxiang, Wen Ping enjoys a high reputation in the army.

Although Cai Mao is the governor of the navy, in terms of prestige, he is far inferior to the civil service.

Cao Peng and Wen Ping have intersected.

That was ten years ago, though...... Ten years ago, Cao Peng killed people in Zhongyang Town, fled overnight, stayed at the carriage and horse post in Yangshu Town, and met with Wen Ping. At that time, Wang Meng also fought with Wenpin, and he was defeated by Wenpin in ten moves. Wenpin praised Wang Meng and invited Wang Meng to join the army, but Wang Meng refused. In addition, Wen Ping and Cao Peng no longer have any intersection......

It's a big nuisance!

If you can't let Wen Ping express his attitude, it will affect Cai's judgment after all.

Cao Peng is very clear about why Wenpin is reluctant to express his position.

In the final analysis, it is Cao Peng's prestige and status that cannot reach that level. If Cao Cao is replaced, Wenpin is likely to have already made his position clear.

Although Cao Peng is very trusted by Cao Cao, he is not Cao Cao after all.

In this case, Wenpin's refusal to express his position seems to be reasonable. Cao Peng needs a strong figure to act as a bridge.

Who should be responsible for this powerful figure?

This night, Cao Peng had insomnia!

He was lying on the couch, tossing and turning, seeing the roosters crowing and drumming, and when his mind was dizzy, Cao Peng finally thought of a person, and his spirit suddenly lifted up.

Sima Hui!

That's right, I asked Sima Hui to come forward to solve the trouble of Wenpin......

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

The big stone in my heart finally let go.

When it was almost dawn, Cao Peng fell asleep in a daze!

"Childe, something happened, something happened!"

A hurried shout woke Cao Peng up.

He hurriedly turned over and sat up, grabbed a robe from the couch, draped it over his body, walked quickly to the door, and opened the door.

"Zizhang, what's wrong?"

"Zhang Ling is broken, Zhang Ling is broken......"

"What?"

Cao Peng was stunned when he heard this, and was immediately pleasantly surprised.

Last night, I just thought about asking Cao Zhen to capture Zhangling, but I didn't expect Cao Zhen to have already taken Zhangling.

Lu Mao panted and said, "Yesterday, General Zidan took advantage of the night to sneak attack Zhangling and defeated Liu Hu...... Now, Liu Hu led the remnants of the army to retreat to the green forest mountain and fled to Jiangxia. General Cao had captured Zhangling and led his troops into Baishui Township. Hehe, Cai Dejun is afraid that he will be in a hurry this time! ”

Cao Peng sneered.

"Why is Cai Dejun in a hurry?

Now, I'm afraid, I can't sit still...... Zidan's dispatch of troops is definitely not a personal act. This must be ordered by the prime minister, and he will capture Zhangling.

When he moves, I'm afraid that the prime minister will take action soon! ”
