At the end of the fifth watch, the old and new can be cheeky and roll for recommended clicks and collections.

………………………………………………

Wei Yan was silent.

He lowered his head and continued to concentrate on the barbecue, without entangling with Cao Peng again.

The wild boar was roasted brown, and drops of lard fell on the bonfire with a crackling sound. Above the creek, the fragrance is overflowing.

"Eat your stomach first."

Wei Yan cut off a piece of barbecue meat and handed it to Cao Peng.

I haven't eaten for almost a day, and Cao Peng is indeed a little hungry. He was no longer polite, reached out to take the barbecue, and devoured it.

"It's getting dark, and it's not safe for you to go now." Wei Yan looked at Cao Peng's eating, and finally a smile appeared on his face. But the smile disappeared immediately. He lowered his head, took two bites of the barbecue without knowing the taste, and then said softly: "When it is dawn tomorrow, I will give you a ride." From here to the old estuary, it is about half a day's journey. Once you reach the mouth of the old river, you can take a boat or go straight south. Along the main road, don't take the small road, almost in the early morning, you can reach Jianyang. ”

When it comes to understanding Nanyang County, Wei Yan is really familiar with it.

Cao Peng thought about it and nodded in agreement.

Wei Yan was right, although Wancheng was still calm at this time, it was not safe. Cao Peng didn't know if Cao Ying had arrived in Wancheng, let alone if he had already been on Zhang Xiu's aunt. But no matter what, Wei Yan was willing to give him a ride, which was interesting enough.

It's just that...... Wei Yan in his previous life defected to Liu Bei, although he had never led an army alone, but he was also a figure in Shu Han. Now, he chose Cao Ying. After Cao Peng's little butterfly flapped its wings, it pushed the first-class general in the Shu Han camp into Cao Ying's camp. This effect seems to be a bit big...... Cao Peng also began to be confused, what kind of scene will Wei Yan's future be? Perhaps, Wei Yan will do better than the original; Perhaps, he will never be lost to all living beings.

After all, Cao Ying and Liu Bei's situation is different.

When Wei Yan defected to Liu Bei, Liu Bei's power was not strong, so he was able to quickly gain favor; Now under the command of Cao Ying, the soldiers are strong and strong, there are countless fierce generals, and the strategists are like clouds. Of Cao Ying's five major strategists in history, only Jia Xu has not yet defected. If Wei Yan joins Cao's army, he will inevitably face more and greater challenges. In Cao Ying, the competition is very fierce!

But this is Wei Yan's choice......

Cao Peng didn't know, was it right or wrong for Wei Yan to do this?

In short, from now on, Wei Yan will embark on a completely different path from the original. And it was Cao Peng who caused this change.

If it weren't for Cao Peng, Wei Yan might continue to be his king of soldiers.

At some point in time in the future, he may be valued by Wenpin and become a thousand-person governor and a general; Then, Liu Bei will appear, Liu Biao will die of illness, and Wei Yan will choose to follow Liu Bei, and since then, he has passed the test and established countless meritorious achievements...... But now, it's all changed!

That night, Cao Peng lay under a tree.

The night breeze was cool, and he curled up in a ball.

Wei Yan was still sitting in place, holding his legs, not knowing what he was thinking.

Here, it's called Dawanggang.

It is said that one of the twenty-eight fathers of Liu Xiu's establishment of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the champion Hou, Zhi Jinwu, and Jia Fu, known as the first fierce general under Liu Xiu's account, once gathered people here to be the king and rebelled against the Xinmang regime. After attaching to Liu Xiu, he was brave and invincible in every war. Later, due to repeated heavy injuries, his health was weak in his later years. Every time I dream back to Dawanggang of the year, I get together with all the brothers. So he asked Liu Xiu to play and named the place where he gathered righteousness back then.

It is about 20 miles away from the place where Cao Peng and Wei Yan rested, and there are still the remains of the Dawangzhai of the year......

"Ah Fu!"

"Huh?"

"If I defect to Cao Gong, can I take revenge?"

Cao Peng was silent for a long time, and said softly: "If Brother Wei wants to step on Jingxiang, maybe you can achieve it." However, if you want to take revenge immediately, I am afraid it will be a little difficult. ”

"Why?"

"Liu Jingzhou is a member of the Han family after all.

Although Cao Gong welcomed the Son of Heaven and occupied the name of righteousness. But because of this, he will suffer countless jealousy. Now Cao Gong is still surrounded by Yuan Shu, Lu Bu and Yuan Shao. Guanzhong Li Dao Guo Yan has not yet been pacified. If he uses troops against Liu Jingzhou at this time, he will inevitably attract a joint attack from all forces. Therefore, if you want to take revenge, Brother Wei, the north is uncertain, and it is impossible. ”

Wei Yan turned around and stared at Cao Peng, his face showing surprise.

If these words came from the mouth of that celebrity, such as Pang Degong, such as Sima Hui, even if it came from the mouth of Wen Ping, Wei Yan would not be surprised. But these words came out of the mouth of a young man, and if Wei Yan was not surprised, it was really weird.

Suddenly, he laughed!

Cao Peng sat up, "What are you laughing at?" ”

"The night you came to Yiyangtun, Deng Jiecong talked to me about you.

He said to me, Ah Fu, you don't know "Poems" and "Treatises", and you can't do anything but generalize. But when it comes to the word 'big picture', there is no one in your age group who can compare to you. I didn't believe it, but now, I do. Your overall situation, when it is given by God, is indeed extraordinary. ”

When Cao Peng heard this, he was not happy, but showed a touch of sadness.

He thought of Deng Ji and Wang Mai......

No matter how good the big picture is? Even if he can grasp the general trend of the world, and even the trend of the next few hundred years, what can he do?

Now, he can't even protect his own family, and he can't even make a small promise.

The big picture...... Phew!

Thinking of this, Cao Peng covered his face with his hands and didn't speak for a long time.

And Wei Yan also realized that he seemed to have said the wrong thing, so he kept silent for the moment and looked at the bonfire in a daze.

The bonfire, crackling in the night wind.

The murmuring of the stream in the distance seemed to match the sound of the burning flames, and played a lonely song......

——————————————————————————

Wancheng, Shuaifu.

A middle-aged man gritted his teeth and grabbed an inkstone and slapped it on the table.

The huge force came out through the inkstone, smashing the sturdy pineapple long case and smashing it into dense cracks. And the inkstone was also torn apart.

"Cao thief, deceive me too much!"

The middle-aged man let out a beastly roar, his hands clenched into fists, and he tried to suppress his anger.

There were three young men sitting in the room, all with faces as heavy as water, and their eyes flashed with anger.

"Father, Cao Thief bullied us so much, if you swallow your anger, won't you be ridiculed by the world, my father and son rely on women to seek glory and wealth?"

"That's right, Cao thief damn it, we fought with him!"

The one who spoke was a bronzed, heroic-looking teenager.

"Shut up."

The middle-aged man closed his eyes, tried to calm the anger in his chest, and scolded sharply.

This middle-aged man is extraordinary in appearance and quite majestic. With a physique of more than 180 centimeters, it is neither bloated nor thin. In his gestures, he inevitably revealed a kind of courage and fierceness. It seems to be a little incompatible with his elegant appearance, but it adds to the masculine beauty.

He is the lord of Wancheng, Jianzhong General Zhang Xiu, Zhang Boluan.

Zhang Xiu started in Xiliang, his parents died when he was a child, he grew up with his uncle Zhang Ji, practiced a good martial arts, and later defected to Xiliang Taishou Dong Zhuo. In the cool land of the west, the Qiang and Han people live together, and the folk customs are fierce and wild. Zhang Xiu grew up in such an atmosphere, not only skilled in guns and horses, but also able to shoot bows left and right, which was very popular with Dong Zhuo. Later, Dong Zhuo became the master of Luoyang, and Zhang Xiu followed his uncle Zhang Ji and sat in Guanzhong.

After Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Chang'an, Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu's uncles and nephews were stationed in Hanguguan......

When the Taishi Wang Yun made a plan to divide Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu, Lu Bu killed Dong Zhuo, and Wang Yun slaughtered the Xiliang army. Zhang Ji was worried about being implicated, so he took the people from his headquarters and came to Luoyang with Zhang Xiu. After Li Dao and Guo Yan recaptured Chang'an, the mastermind Jia Xu couldn't get used to seeing the two of them act, so he found an excuse to defect to Duan Xuan. Not long after, Jia Xu left Duan Xuan again and found Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew, and stayed by Zhang Ji's side ever since. As the mastermind of the Xiliang Army, Jia Xu's reputation is not as prominent as Li Ru, but when it comes to means, he is respected by everyone.

Jia Xu believes that the Central Plains will soon be in chaos.

Luoyang is a thoroughfare in all directions, although it is related to the deterrence of the pass, but it is not a place of rest and recuperation.

So, taking advantage of the melee in the Central Plains, he suggested that Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew leave Luoyang and go to Nanyang County to find a foothold.

Uncle Zhang Ji thinks so......

So, this is why the Xiliang army entered Nanyang, Zhang Ji conquered Wancheng, and was killed by a stray arrow outside the city, and Zhang Xiu took over the Xiliang army.

Zhang Ji had a son, but he died in battle in the early years, leaving only one grandson, the bronze-faced young man named Zhang Xin.

As for Zhang Xiu himself, he also has two sons.

The eldest son Zhang Quan and the second son Zhang Su are known as the Three Tigers of Zhangmen together with Zhang Xin, all of whom are strong in martial arts and brave and good at fighting.

Cao Ying's troops sent to Nanyang County, and Jia Xu believed that Zhang Xiu could not be an enemy with him. So he sent someone to ask Cao Ying to surrender. Cao Ying, of course, also hoped to end the battle without blood, so he agreed to Zhang Xiu's request to surrender. The younger brother Cao Hong stayed in Bowang, the general was forbidden, and the two of Yin Xiahou of Henan were stationed on the east bank of Yushui, and Cao Ying brought his eldest son Cao Ang, second son Cao Pi, nephew Cao Anmin, and confidants to love the general, and Chong Captain Dian Wei, crossed the river to Wancheng to be surrendered. Neither side wants to fight, so the surrender will be achieved overnight.

It's just that after Zhang Xiu surrendered, he had to give up Wancheng and hand it over to Cao Jun to take over.

This is not something that can be done in a while, so Cao Ying was temporarily stationed outside Wancheng City, waiting to change guards with Zhang Xiu.

There is a way to be full of warm thoughts**.

stopped fighting, Cao Ying, who was surnamed lustful, stayed in the camp outside the city and had nothing to do, so he asked people to find a woman to relieve his boredom.

The nephew Anmin found a beautiful woman for him, and Cao Ying fell in love with the other party at a glance, and left the woman in his camp to enjoy the night. But I can't think of it, this woman ...... It turned out to be Zhang Ji's widow, that is, Zhang Xiu's aunt. You Cao Yingying won, and it doesn't matter if you find a woman. But you brought Zhang Xiu's aunt to the barracks like this, where should you put Zhang Xiu's face?

Therefore, Zhang Xiu invited three sons and nephews to discuss the matter.

The three tigers of Zhangmen are all brave and ruthless people, so can they stand this kind of thing?

Especially Zhang Xin...... Zhang Ji's widow, Zou, although not his own grandmother, is always his grandmother in name. Cao Ying was outside Wancheng and his grandmother, once it was spread, what face would he have to face Zhang Xin? So, he reacted the most.

But Zhang Xiu was still a little hesitant.

After all, Cao Ying ordered the princes to be ordered by the Son of Heaven, and as soon as he surrendered to Cao Ying, he immediately repeated it...... Isn't it to be called capricious?

I don't dare to take this reputation seriously.

Lu Bu is a lesson from the past, although he has the name of a tiger, but no matter who mentions it, he must be disdainful.

"Father, you have something to say.

Could it be that we just endured this breath and let the Cao thief do whatever he wanted in our Wancheng? Father, thou hast taught thy children that the great husband should stand up to heaven and earth. Although we say that we start from the end, we are not fish and meat to be slaughtered. Even if you turn your face, you may not lose. ”

On one side is to live on his knees, and on the other side he is to die while standing!

Zhang Xiu hesitated, not knowing what to do.

"Uncle, since you can't make up your mind, why don't you invite the military advisor to come and discuss?" Zhang Xin stepped forward to offer advice.

Zhang Xiu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly brightened.

Yes, this kind of thing should be discussed with the military advisor. I think the military advisor must have a good idea to relieve this trouble for me.

At that moment, Zhang Xiu was going to order someone to invite Jia Xu.

Without waiting for him to give the order, he heard someone outside the door: "General, the military division is here!" ”
