Chapter 356: The Last Lesson (2/2)

Cao Cao learned that Cao Peng was happy. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In this regard, he was also very happy and ordered Cao Bin to come to congratulate. Subsequently, another round of congratulatory greetings began, but most of the people who came to congratulate were powerful figures. For example, Xiahou Xuan Xu Huang, Yu Banle Jin, and Xun Yu Jia Xu...... These *** will not come in person, and sending their children and cronies will give Cao Peng enough face; And Cao Zhen, Cao Xiu, Dian Man, Xu Yi, and Xiahou En, Xiahou Heng and other representatives of the second generation of Cao came in person.

For a time, there was a lot of traffic outside Caojia Grange, and there was an endless stream of visitors.

That night, Zhang Liao Ganning came to visit.

Zhang Liao is now an official who worships the backbone general, and receives 2,000 stones, which is very important to Cao Cao; As for Gan Ning, he is a partial general, still the deputy governor of the tiger and leopard cavalry, and Cao Chun's assistant. Although it is one level lower than Zhang Liao, it is a member of the two thousand stone Yulu, and it is the same as Cao Ji. Therefore, there are Bole and then Maxima in the world, and there are many people who have the ability, but they are afraid that no one will appreciate them. Gan Ning has followed Cao Peng for a long time and made a lot of meritorious achievements, so he is very loved by Cao Cao.

Cao Chun was the governor of the tiger and leopard cavalry, but the person who actually led the tiger and leopard cavalry was Gan Ning.

The visit of the two surprised Cao Peng very much.

He invited Zhang Liao and Gan Ning to the back house, and they exchanged heartfelt complaints.

Since Gan Ning entered the tiger and leopard riding, he has rarely seen Cao Peng in the past three years, but only three or four sides; Zhang Liao is even rarer, since Jian'an has been four years old, the two have not seen each other. So after everyone met, they seemed very happy.

Zhang Liao privately inquired about the news of Lu Bu's family.

Cao Peng said softly: "Two years ago, Madame sent an envoy to Haixi to make some transactions with Zishan.

It is said that the ladies have gained a firm foothold and there are faint signs of becoming a country of independence. However, its power was still somewhat weak, especially the Goguryeo people in the north were very strong, and the two sides clashed several times, and although Madame had a slight upper hand, she was unable to expand northward. Now, Madame has begun to conquer the south, intending to exterminate indigenous nations such as Mahan......

I asked Zishan to do his best to support, but the sea route was difficult, and it was a drop in the bucket after all.

Since the beginning of the year, there has been no news of Mrs. Zishan...... However, according to the informant, the lady's condition is still good, and the lady is an adult, and she can carry a gun and mount a horse, and it is said that she has the style of a father. However, the Goguryeo people had some trouble after all. ”

Zhang Liao listened, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

"That friend learns how to reduce the pressure on his wife."

Cao Peng looked at Zhang Liao, and smiled slightly after a while, "If the general can be General Duliao, maybe he can help." ”

General Duliao?

Zhang Liao fell into deep thought.

If you want to be a general of Duliao, it is not an easy task.

First of all, it is necessary to level Hebei, and at the same time, it is necessary to make enough meritorious deeds.

"How do you think the war in Hebei will develop?"

"Brother is not a friend, brother is disrespectful, although the Yuan family has a deep foundation, what can I do?"

Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang are brothers and should support each other. But the two brothers are intrigued, guarding against each other and falling against each other. Yuan Shao left them an extremely deep foundation, and if they continue to do so, they will inevitably escape the fate of destruction. Historically, the two brothers Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang did not escape from Cao Cao's hands in the end...... This is even more true today. So when Zhang Liao asked, Cao Peng's answer was also very confident.

Zhang Liao nodded and remained silent.

Cao Peng is telling him that you have a lot of opportunities to build meritorious deeds.

It's just that whether you can be General Duliao or not depends on yourself. In addition to strength, you also need some luck.

Zhang Liao thought so.

"Brother Xingba is still happy to ride in the tiger and leopard?"

Gan Ning said: "The lord treats me very well, but the rabble of Hebei is not enough for the tiger and leopard to attack, so I ......"

"I heard that Yuan Xi invited Karasuma Raid?"

"Yes, that's true. However, if there is a real confrontation, Karasuma Rush is not to worry. ”

Gan Ning's words revealed a strong sense of confidence.

With the rise of status, Gan Ning's confidence has become more and more sufficient.

He commanded the tiger and leopard cavalry, which can be described as the elite of Cao Cao's command. It's a pity that the tiger and leopard ride will not attack easily, which also makes Gan Ning feel that heroes are useless. Cao Peng could feel the depression in Gan Ning's heart, and couldn't help laughing: "Could it be that Xingba wants to leave the tiger and leopard ride?" ”

"It's a little uncomfortable to just watch others kill the enemy, but you can't build a meritorious career."

"In that case, why not speak openly to the Lord."

"Is that okay?"

Cao Peng nodded and said, "Xingba doesn't recommend himself, can the lord know your means?" ”

He knew very well in his heart that even if Cao Chun was no longer the governor of the tiger and leopard in the future, it would be impossible for Gan Ning to be corrected. The reason is very simple, the tiger and leopard ride is the trump card in Cao Cao's hands, how can it be handed over to a foreign surname? Just look at the generals of the tiger and leopard riding, most of them are mainly Cao's and Xiahou's, and the generals with foreign surnames, only Gan Ning, can see the clues.

Cao Peng believes that if Cao Chun withdraws, the people who are most likely to take over the position of the governor of the tiger and leopard cavalry are none other than Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu.

If Gan Ning continues to stay in the tiger and leopard ride, it will be difficult to make a difference.

It's great, the rank of the official will be promoted, but the official position is difficult to improve.

Official position represents the power in hand.

What good is it if you don't have real power? Cao Peng also didn't want Gan Ning to stay in Haw Par Ride and be a cook for others for life.

Even if the person who eats may be his eldest brother Cao Zhen, Cao Peng is unwilling.

Gan Ning pondered for a long time, and suddenly said to Zhang Liao: "Wenyuan, if I come under your command, are you willing to accept it?" ”

Zhang Liao was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "If Xingba is willing to come, it is like a tiger with wings, how can he not want to?" ”

This sentence also made Gan Ning finally make up his mind to break away from the tiger and leopard ride......

Cao Peng watched from the sidelines, only smiling and not saying a word.

Zhang Liao's relationship with him is more like an ally; But Gan Ning is his real descendant. Deep down, Cao Peng certainly hopes that Gan Ning can soar. Only when he soars can Cao Peng get more benefits.

"The lord has decided to take back control of Hercy.

At the latest in the spring of the next year, Derun will go to Haixi and hand over to Zishan. I am afraid that he will be my last spokesperson in Haixi. Five years at most, three years at least, and the lord will inevitably erase my imprint on Haixi. At that point, I'm afraid I'll no longer be able to support my wife. Wen Yuan had to be prepared, so that his wife would not be alone at that time. ”

Cao Peng thought about it for a while, but decided to reveal a little news.

Zhang Liaohu's body shook and he arched his hand and said, "Youxue, Liaozhi Wenhou has thanked you for your help over the years...... Don't worry, if I fight to the death, I will also seize the post of General Liao. In three or five years, I will definitely give Goguryeo a warning......"

"In this way, I am relieved!"

Cao Peng smiled slightly, picked up the wine glass, and took a sip of wine.

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

The next day, Huang Chengyan arrived in Xudu.

learned that his daughter gave birth to a son, Huang Chengyan was the most happy. Although he still didn't give Cao Peng a good look, his attitude has eased. At the beginning, he was forced to agree to the marriage, but he was not very comfortable in his heart. Although Cao Peng does not have a wife, Huang Yueying and Xiahou really do not distinguish between big and small, but Huang Chengyan always feels that Cao Peng owes Huang Yueying. thinks that at the beginning, Huang Yueying followed Cao Peng to Xudu desperately, but in the end she was just a flat wife......

I don't say anything on my mouth, but my heart is unhappy after all.

Now, Huang Yueying has given birth to a son, and he is the eldest son.

Although Xiahou Zhen was born earlier than Huang Yueying, she is a daughter...... In this way, Huang Yueying's position is also stable. At least, in Huang Chengyan's heart, his daughter undoubtedly had the upper hand and suppressed Xiahou Zhen.

Therefore, at the dinner, Huang Chengyan laughed constantly.

Cao Peng could also understand his thoughts, laughed with him, and drunk Huang Chengyan.

"What's the name of the boy you want to call?"

"Well...... It has not yet been decided. ”

"How can it not be decided? Think about the name of the child earlier...... I think of one, how about calling it Cao Li? ”

As soon as Huang Chengyan opened his mouth, he was knowledgeable.

Cao Ji said: "Although Cao Li is good, it is not loud enough. ”

"What do you think the in-laws should be called?"

"Well...... Cao Ji scratched his head honestly, "I haven't learned much, and I don't know what to call it." At the beginning, Ah Fu's name was still given by the monks in Zhongyang Mountain. This one...... Let Ah Fu decide. ”

Cao Ji continued to eliminate and dissolve Huang Chengyan's momentum.

Just kidding, my grandson's name, of course, has to be my son, you are his grandfather, and you can't take it from you.

If it was before, Cao Ji would definitely open his mouth to refuse.

However, after being an official for a few years and reading some books, his stomach has twists and turns, and he speaks in a very orderly manner. Although Huang Chengyan had the heart to refute, he didn't know how to fight back. Cao Ji said very reasonably, Xiaolong'er's name should be named by his Lao Tzu, this is the rule! Even if Huang Chengyan is his grandfather, he can only suggest, not decide.

Cao Peng thought for a while, "My son was born in Chenshi, so Yueying called him Xiaolong'er."

He was born at the beginning of the rising sun, when the earth was revived. I thought, just call him Cao Yang, how about it? ”

Cao Yang?

Huang Chengyan thought about it and felt good.

And what could be more meaningful than the rising sun?

And Cao Ji will not have an opinion, as long as Cao Peng decides on this name, he will definitely not say any words of objection.

In this way, on the third day of Xiaolong'er's birth, Cao Peng set a name for him.

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

Time, little by little.

As the old saying goes, time is like electricity, and time is like a shuttle.

The seven years of Jian'an have become history unconsciously. After a spring rain, the prelude to the eight years of Jian'an was kicked off......

In February, stinging.

The weather warmed up, and the spring thunder began to roar.

The insects dormant and underground woke up one after another, broke open their blindfolded eyes, and patrolled the vast wilderness.

"The sting is divided into three marquis, one marquis peach Shihua; Erhou Cang Gengming; The three marquis eagle dove ......"

After a spring rain, the peach blossoms are red, the plum blossoms are white, the yellow warblers are chirping, and the swallows are flying. In the field, dozens of horsemen galloped along the spring ploughing fields.

Cao Peng suddenly reined in his horse and stopped at the edge of the field.

Breathing in the earthy smell that permeated the air, I couldn't help but feel a rush of energy.

In the field, the farmers who were busy saw Cao Peng, got up one after another, and said loudly: "Childe, are you here to pick green?" ”

"Hehe, it's just a distraction, let's be busy."

Cao Peng waved to the farmers, then turned over and dismounted.

Cao Chong, Deng Ai and Xun Yu also followed closely and got off their horses. Pang Tong and Han De looked at Cao Peng curiously.

Originally, after the beginning of spring, Cao Chong and the three of them should officially enter the college and start their academic careers.

But Cao Peng said to Cao Cao: "I still have one, which needs to be awarded to Cangshu." ”

He asked Cao Chong and the others to go back to school at a later date, and Cao Cao readily agreed. Although Mrs. Huan was a little reluctant, worried that Cao Chong would delay her homework. But since Cao Cao agreed, they naturally didn't want to object.

Besides, Mrs. Huan believes that Cao Peng will not harm Cao Chong.

Therefore, among the people who came today, in addition to Cao Chong and the others, there were also Cao Zhang, Niu Gang Dian and others. I thought that Cao Peng would teach at home. Unexpectedly, when they came to the Grange, Cao Peng took them to the field.

"Cangshu, do you know what this is?"

Cao Peng pointed to the crops in the field, looked at Cao Chong with a serious expression and asked.

Cao Chong was stunned, stepped forward to watch for a while, and said softly: "It's Su." ”

"What about this?"

Cao Peng was noncommittal, and only took Cao Chong and others to walk in the field, pointing to the crops in the field from time to time, and asking Cao Chong and others. Cao Chong Xunmata, including Deng Ai, can be said to have grown up in a rich family. Let them identify a flower, a grass, and maybe a thing or two. But for these crops, the answer is often incorrect.

"Go and ask those people to understand the characteristics of these grains."

Cao Peng issued an order, and the three of Cao Chong, including Cao Zhang, all stepped forward to ask the farmer.

"Ah Fu, what are you doing here?"

Pang Tong asked softly.

Cao Peng said: "I'm teaching them one last lesson. ”

"The last lesson?"

Pang Tong looked dazed, unable to figure out Cao Peng's thoughts.

For a whole afternoon, Cao Chong and others walked on the ridges of the fields, either asking questions or squatting down to observe.

It wasn't until lunch that Cao Peng called them back.

Sitting down on a green grass, Zhu Xia and a few servants spread out the cloth and put the prepared food on it.

After Cao Chong and others answered Cao Peng's series of questions, Cao Peng smiled with satisfaction.

"Ziwen, Cangshu, Xiao Ai, Xiao Mata...... Do you know why I asked you to do these things today? ”

A group of half-grown children, shaking their heads at the same time, indicated that they were not quite clear.

Cao Peng took a deep breath, "Before that, I'll tell you a story.

In ancient times, the world was in turmoil, and the people were struggling to make a living. The crops were all gone, and the common people had to change their children to eat in the end, and they were miserable. But in the court, the emperor still sang and danced, and the wine pool was full of meat. So, some ministers couldn't help it and told the emperor that the common people in the world were hungry and the crops had been lost.

But do you know how the emperor answered? ”

Cao Zhang, Cao Chong and the others shook their heads at the same time.

Cao Peng said: "When the demented emperor heard this, he asked very strangely: Since the crops are gone, why not eat minced meat?" ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help laughing.

Laughing and laughing, the laughter gradually faded away......

"Teacher, what happened to the emperor in the end?"

"The Emperor...... Finally died. His country was torn apart and eventually plunged into years of war. Later, the Hu people of Mobei entered the Central Plains and regarded us and other Central Plains people as two-legged sheep. In the end, the emperor of that country left the Central Plains and settled in a corner of Jiangdong. Since then, the Central Plains has been in turmoil for three hundred years, and this great river and mountain has ten rooms and nine emptiness. ”

Cao Chong only heard tears in his eyes and was silent.

"One day, I will set foot in Mobei and cut off those Hu people and alien races, and I will not leave any of them."

Cao Zhang suddenly roared angrily, "Now I swear that I will not kill all the Hu people, and I will not give up." ”

Cao Peng pulled Cao Zhang to sit down and gently patted him on the shoulder.

"It doesn't matter if you are an official in the DPRK or a single town in the future.

I hope that you will understand the suffering of the people and help them...... Hello to these ordinary people of ours, they don't ask for much, they just want to be able to eat a full stomach. And if the officials cannot meet even these most basic needs, how can they be officials? According to the historical records, Cang Liao knows etiquette and knows honor and disgrace when he has enough food and clothing......"

Cao Peng taught earnestly, and Pang Tong on the side couldn't help nodding again and again.

Speaking of which, he has been following Cao Peng for many years, but he has never been able to see through Cao Peng.

But today's words made him understand Cao Peng better.

Cao Peng didn't tell too many big truths, but just used many small stories to teach his views to Cao Chong and others.

He didn't want Cao Chong to fully understand, but he also hoped to be able to give more influence.

Cao Chong and the others sat around him and listened with relish. Suddenly laughing, suddenly contemplative......

It wasn't until sunset that Cao Peng stopped.

"I don't want you to keep all of what I say today, but I also hope that you will remember what I said today when you encounter similar problems in the future. Ziwen, you are rough by nature, and you will definitely become a general in the future. For the way of generals, you don't just rely on rushing and fighting, you have to read more about the art of war and learn to think analytically.

Xiao Ai, you are similar to Ziwen, you like military affairs.

But I want you ......"

Cao Peng's voice was very soft, but Cao Zhang and the others all showed gratitude.

"Cangshu, you and I have been teachers and students for three years, but in fact, I haven't taught you much.

You are gifted and intelligent, and you are rare in the world. But sometimes, being too smart is not a good thing, you have to learn when to show your cleverness and when to hide your cleverness......"

When Cao Peng finished speaking, Cao Chong and the others got up and solemnly bowed to Cao Peng.

"The students will remember Mr. today's teachings!"

"Hahaha, it's not a teaching, it's just a little feeling.

Well, it's getting late, so you should go back early...... Believe in it, and you will take them home. Xiao Ai, it's time for us to go. If I go back too late, your mother will blame me...... I can't afford it. ”

Cao Chong and the others once again saluted Cao Peng as disciples, and then they left one after another.

Cao Peng got on the horse, but saw Pang Tong staring at him from the side, and couldn't help asking, "Shiyuan, why are you looking at me like this?" ”

Pang Tong couldn't help but laugh and said, "I'm thinking, what else is in your head?" ”

"Well...... Ha, guess slowly. ”

As he spoke, Cao Peng lifted the reins and urged the horse to whip away.

Looking at his back at dusk, Pang Tong couldn't help but nod lightly, and said to himself: "You guy, I can't guess it." ”
