A piece of Jinlan spectrum, life and death are against it.

Before this, no one had ever made such a grand case of right and wrong. Including Xun Yu, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Cao Peng's eight brothers and sisters in prison have made many people feel incredible.

Originally, everyone had a good relationship, that is, they told it in their hearts. But no one put such a thing on the table. Moreover, it was in front of Confucius that he bowed down, which made many literati feel more cordial. Don't be fame and fortune, don't be arrogant with talent...... This sentence seems to have the true meaning. Since ancient times, fathers and sons have turned against each other, husbands and wives have become enemies, and fratricide has not been the word fame and fortune. It seems that Jin Lan is so naked that he says it so clearly, so many people can't help but sigh for it.

These little guys can see it enough clearly!

Xun Yu held a copy of the Jinlan spectrum in his hand, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Originally, I wanted to take this opportunity to gently suppress the power of the Cao family. didn't think that this Jinlan score would bring Cao Peng and others to the cusp.

Xun Yu, loyal to the Han family.

At the same time, he also knows that the only person who can make the Han family prosperous is Cao Ying.

He hoped that Cao Ying could control the dynasty, but he also did not want Cao Ying to monopolize power. was going to take this opportunity to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger, but Cao Peng and others came to the stage, so that many of the means that Xun Yu had prepared had to be put on hold temporarily...... How great would it be if the lord could take a stand? But now, losing this opportunity, I am afraid that the lord and His Majesty will eventually come to hostility.

And these are not the results Xun Yu hoped to see......———————————————————— in June of the second year of Jian'an, Cao Ying attacked Huyang County and captured Deng Ji, the subordinate general under Liu Biao.

Immediately, he ordered the withdrawal of Nanyang and ordered the troops to be stationed in Yu Queshan to prevent Liu Biao from making a move. This time the troops were not so much to avenge Xun Ji, but to deter Liu Biao. Because next, the enemy Cao Ying has to deal with is Yuan Shu. If Liu Biao is on the side, it will inevitably make Cao Ying's war against Yuan Shu complicated and changeable, and it will be difficult to control it...... Cao Ying served the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and Yuan Shu openly proclaimed himself emperor, and he was already a veritable Han thief.

If he didn't fight Yuan Shu, he wouldn't be able to say anything about it. But to tell the truth, Cao Ying's expedition to Yuan Shu was also really worried about Liu Biao and Zhang Xiu, who were making trouble in the back.

The attack on Huyang County is to tell Liu Biao and Zhang Xiu: Be honest, I want to beat you, it's just a matter of minutes!

In fact, Cao Ying's purpose has also been achieved.

In this battle, Wei Yan, the general of the full favored tent, made outstanding achievements.

Since the dispatch of the army, Wei Yan has fought bravely to kill the enemy, and now Yiqiu gathers Deng Long, the general of Deng Ji's department, and then leads three hundred strong men to the battle, and breaks through Pingshi County, making the first contribution...... However, during the battle to break through Pingshi County, Wei Yan was wounded by three arrows. So he didn't participate in the Battle of Huyang, but Man Chong still recorded him as his first merit and reported it to Cao Ying. Cao Yingsu loves fierce generals, so he is naturally very happy. After retiring from the army, Feng Wei Yan was named Sima of Runan, Bai Duwei, and stationed in Ruyin County to prevent Yuan Shu from sending troops to attack Runan County.

Runan, after all, is Yuan Shu's hometown.

Although Cao Ying occupied Runan, Yuan Shu's ambition for Runan was not broken.

Du Wei, in fact, is a fictitious position, similar to a title, without any real power, and is just worthy of enjoying the Du Wei Yulu. Wei Yan's actual position is Sima of Runan County, which is located under the Taishou of Runan County, the county Cheng and the county lieutenant, ranking fourth, and it is also a powerful official position.

From a small general (actually a Dubo) to the fourth most powerful person in a county, Wei Yan has ascended to the sky in one step.

In the meantime, the process is even less than half a year.

Thinking about it, Wei Yan had a feeling of being in a different world...... I am really grateful to Cao Peng, if it wasn't for Cao Peng who encouraged him to defect to Cao Ying, and saved Dian Wei in Wancheng, it is estimated that he would still be dead now.

Dressed in brand-new clothes and armor, straddle the horse, Wei Yan looked at Xu Du.

Ah Fu, it's almost there!

Back then, I said that I would step on the Jiangxia with you. Now, I've taken the first step, but I don't know if you're in Xudu, are you okay?

———————————————————————————————————— "Wait! ”

In the cell of Xu Du's prison, Cao Zhen's eyes were red, covered with blood, and his face was hideous.

I saw him roll up his sleeves, stretch out his hand, touch a card, frown, grit his teeth, and look around the three people next to the case fiercely.

"Damn, Lao Tzu has been carrying it all day, this time it can be regarded as a nonsense, four cakes, self-touching!"

As he spoke, he slapped the card in his hand on the case, grinned, and laughed wildly, "Draw yourself, give money, give money quickly!" ”

On the table, there is a pair of national quintessence, mahjong.

Cao Peng knew that if Cao Zhen and the others stayed in the cell, sooner or later there would be trouble. I don't know when I'm going to be released, so I've got to find something. So, he thought of mahjong. You don't need any technical skills to make this thing, you just need to find a craftsman and you can make it. And it's easy to understand, so it's suitable for all ages...... After Dian Wei ordered someone to play mahjong, he ordered someone to send him to prison. Cao Peng only needed a brief explanation, and Cao Zhen and the others understood the truth. At the beginning, Cao Zhen also said: "What's the meaning of this? ”

He underestimated the power of this mahjong too much!

Cao Peng added some color to it, and Cao Zhen and the others immediately became interested.

Good betting, people's natural surname.

There is no distinction between high and low, and there is no difference between men and women, old and young, as long as you are hooked, you don't want to escape.

Cao Peng didn't explain it too complicated, and he didn't do anything about Taiwanese mahjong, Sichuan mahjong, and Guangzhou mahjong, and he didn't even count the number of winning cards. At first, it was Cao Peng who took them to play. It didn't take long for Cao Peng to be pushed aside...... This guy is too capable of fighting, and he can be described as abusing Cao Zhen.

In less than a day, a group of people were won by him.

God of Gamblers!

Cao Peng, an old bird, playing mahjong with Cao Zhen, a group of rookies, is obviously robbing money.

Coming and going, who still wants to play with him?

also blames Cao Peng for being too ruthless and not knowing how to restrain himself. After a day, he was winning, and Cao Zhendian was full of Xu Yi, and he couldn't stand it anymore.

No, after Cao Zhen drove Cao Peng away, the rest of the people took turns to fight.

It's just that Cao Zhen's luck is too bad today, from morning to noon, for four or five hours, he didn't even play a single card.

If people can memorize the same as Cao Zhen, it is really not easy.

"The little general has won!"

A few jailers looked at the mess outside, and instead of paying attention, they gambled.

"I'll just say, the little general is lucky, this one will win."

A jailer immediately sent a sycophant, and Cao Zhen laughed.

"Big brother, it doesn't seem right."

Just as Cao Zhen was about to collect the money, a big hand stopped him.

Xu Yi, who was also bloodshot and tired, showed a strange smile, "Your card is clearly a single hanging three cakes, you take four cakes, what are you?" ”

"How is it possible, it's obviously Hu Yisi's cake." Cao Zhen roared angrily, "Xu Datou, don't talk nonsense." ”

"See for yourself."

Cao Zhen looked down and found that the cards in his hand were actually two three cakes and one four cakes.

“…… No way, I was obviously taking two or three loaves just now. ”

"Big brother, what two or three cakes do you take, the two cakes are all here with me, and the dark bar has been opened, where did you get another two cakes?"

Cao Zun shook his head helplessly and turned over the cards on the table.

"I ......"

"You bluff, and everyone pays consistently. The sixth is a dark bar, plus consistent, a total of four through! Dian Man hoarsely voiced, staring at the tiger.

"Lao Tzu's self-drawn cards, stunned to let you cheat."

The prison guards outside the prison immediately closed their mouths.

"This little general is too miserable, isn't it, thirty handfuls, and he doesn't have a single one?"

"Xiao Cao Gongzi said that he must have not washed his hands, otherwise it wouldn't be so stinky."

As soon as the jailers were dry, they all nodded their heads.

Cao Peng came over and put his arms around Cao Zhen's neck, "Big brother, let's rest...... Feng Shui takes turns, and you may be able to transfer it after a while. ”

"Well, I'll take a break."

Cao Zhen is really tired!

You know, he has been staying at the poker table almost every day these days, mentally and physically, and he is about to reach his limit.

And the loss is bad enough! If you calculate, he has lost almost 500 times these days. That's almost a year's worth of money.

Cao Zhen has a military position and receives a salary.

At the same time, he will also get about 50 yuan of money from Cao's mansion every month.

Don't look at Cao Ying as a big celebrity, in charge of the dynasty. But in fact, he is very strict with his children. There is a limit to the amount of money you can spend each month. Speaking of which, Cao Zhen's monthly routine is the highest kind, and when Cao Ang was alive, it was only thirty times a month.

Cao Zhen sat down on the side, his head confused.

Cao Peng handed him a glass of water, Cao Zhen took it, drank it all in one go, and finally sobered up.

"Ah Fu, this thing you tinkered with is really harmful!"

"It's good to block people's surnames, it doesn't matter if it's harmful or not. I only know that small gambling is pleasant, and big gambling hurts the body. It's okay to have fun, but if you take it seriously, the harm will not be shallow. In fact, without this mahjong, don't outsiders still gamble? For example, the dog fighting hall in Sirisch is also a kind of gambling. One is to mutilate living beings to entertain themselves, and the other is to mutilate themselves and entertain themselves, and the difference is nothing more than that.

Big brother, do you think this thing is interesting? ”

"Of course it's interesting."

"I also have a few mini-games, even more interesting than this one."

Cao Zhen raised his head and stared at Cao Peng.

"Ah Fu, what do you mean? I think there's something in your words...... Do you have any special ideas? ”

It's that easy to talk to smart people.

Cao Peng smiled and nodded.

"Big brother, are there many rich people in this world?"

"Many!"

"It seems that you are working hard, but in the end you are cheapened by a bunch of fools."

Cao Zhen was silent, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and there was no interface.

"This money should be ours...... Why bother us to sell our lives, cheapen those fools, and let them turn over and ride on our heads? ”

"You mean ......"

"I have an idea, I don't know if you're interested in participating."

Cao Zhen said: "Let's hear it? ”

Cao Peng took a deep breath and whispered in Cao Zhen's ear for a while. Cao Zhen's eyebrows fluttered for a while, and then he showed a solemn look.

"Can this be done?"

I can hear that Cao Zhen is a little moved, but he has a lot of concerns.

Cao Peng smiled and hooked Cao Zhen's neck, "Big brother, now that you don't have a family, you don't have to worry about food and clothing." But people always have to look at the long term, is it possible that you have to rely on Cao Gong for the rest of your life? In the future, when you become a relative and take a concubine, you will definitely come out to live. This house has to cost money, and food, clothing, housing and transportation also cost money...... Also, your surname is bold, and you have the style of Gu Meng. With your little money, can you hold on?

And when there are children and grandchildren, plan for them.

If a person does not have a plan for three generations, his descendants will suffer in the end. Cao Gong can protect you for a while, but he may not be able to protect you for a lifetime. Well, even if Gong Cao protects you for the rest of your life, what about the future? **Naked come, we can't** go naked, after all, we have to leave something for our children and grandchildren. ”

Cao Zhen is indeed moved!

That's right, he doesn't have to worry about eating and drinking now.

In a year, there are also 600 stone yulu, and every month, there are also 70 hu, which is equivalent to 7,000 liters of grain (one hu is equal to ten buckets, and one bucket is equal to ten liters. During the Qin and Han dynasties, the conversion of Hu and Dou was one to ten, but later, one Hu became five Dou). This number sounds staggering, but in reality, it is not used at all. Coupled with the 50 yuan of money, Cao Zhen actually did not accumulate any family property every month. Moreover, Cao Zhen's background is also very special, he is not Cao Zhen's biological son, but a fake son.

His real surname is Qin, and his biological father's name is Qin Shao.

Later, Qin Shao died for saving Cao Ying, and Cao Zhen was young at the time, so he was adopted by Cao Ying and changed his surname to Cao. That's right, Cao Ying is indeed Cao Zhenruo's own child, but after all, he is not the real child surnamed Cao. It is precisely because of this that Cao Zhen has more planning than his peers.

Cao Peng's words moved Cao Zhen.

But he still muttered a little in his heart, and said in a low voice: "Ah Fu, you may not know that Cao Gong doesn't agree very much with this kind of thing." ...... in Xudu"

"Who said it would be opened in Xudu?"

"It's not in Xudu, where is it?"

Cao Peng smiled slightly, "Actually, I have had this plan for a long time, but I have been struggling to find opportunities and suitable people." Although Xu Du is Yanjing, how many rich families can there be in this big place? Luoyang, if we want to open it, we must choose Luoyang. ”

"Luoyang?"

"That's right, it's Luoyang." Cao Peng said with confidence: "Brother, don't look at Luoyang, which has gone through the Dong Thief Rebellion, and now it is dilapidated. But Luoyang's location, as well as his heritage, is destined to develop sooner or later. It is the thoroughfare of all directions, connecting the hub of Kanto and Guanzhong. The circulation of its goods, as Cao Gong grows, will inevitably prosper...... Moreover, if Cao Gong wants to seek Guanzhong, he must first set Luoyang. A prosperous and wealthy Luoyang is in line with the interests of Cao Gong. When the time comes, there will inevitably be a large number of wealthy merchants, and gold everywhere. ”

Cao Peng sketched a beautiful blueprint for Cao Zhen.

Cao Zhen couldn't help nodding again and again, and showed a look of yearning...... "Big brother, I think Ah Fu's words are right. ”

Cao Peng and Cao Zhen didn't notice it, and Zhu Zan walked to the side at some point. His body and bones are much better, and although his movement is still a little inconvenient, it is no longer a problem to walk on the ground. It is precisely because of his bad body and bones that Zhu Zan did not participate in the game.

He saw Cao Peng and Cao Zhen whispering, so he walked over and happened to hear Cao Peng's opinion of Luoyang.

"Luoyang is the capital in ancient times, and the wealthy families of Kanto have many roots in Luoyang. Once the situation in the Central Plains is settled, Luoyang is bound to be reborn. When the time comes, those Kanto wealthy families will never give up their interests in Luoyang, and it will not be too long before Luoyang returns to its old appearance. ”

If it is said that Cao Peng's distraction just now just made Cao Zhen moved.

Zhu Zan's words made Cao Zhen fall into deep thought...... Turning his head to look at Zhu Zan, Cao Peng was secretly happy. However, his face was calm, and he continued: "If you wait for the lord to rebuild Luoyang, I am afraid it will be difficult for you and me to intervene in it......"

"Fourth, what do you say?"

Zhu Zan didn't know what Cao Zhen and Cao Peng were talking about, but he just heard Cao Peng's views on the development of Luoyang.

He thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "Zidan, if we want to gain a firm foothold in Luoyang, then we must do it before everyone."

Luoyang is now dilapidated, and no one wants to go. That's why it's the best time for us to go now...... But what are you going to do? ”

Cao Zhen laughed, "I plan for my descendants." ”

This sentence, the cloud and mountain fog cover, made Zhu Zan not know why.

Cao Peng racked his brains, and he didn't remember that there was such a person as Zhu Zan in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. It stands to reason that Zhu Zan, as Cao Zhen's friend, should have a name. But why, such a person is unknown? And his concept of seizing the opportunity also made Cao Peng praise in his heart...... There is also Cao Zun, who is silent in peace. Cao Peng can feel that this is also a guy with ideas.

How many people have been buried in this long river of history?

"If you go to Luoyang now, it's not difficult." Cao Zhen thought for a while and said to Cao Peng: "Uncle Xiahou is Henan Yin, and Luoyang is under his rule. Moreover, he also attaches great importance to the fourth child, and wants to ask him over several times. Fourth, would you like to go to Luoyang to take up your post? ”

Luoyang was originally Yanjing of the Eastern Han Dynasty and belonged to the same level as Henan Yin.

However, due to Dong Zhuo's relocation of the capital, burning Luoyang, and moving away the Luoyang wealthy family, Luoyang was in ruins. Because of this, Cao Ying did not choose Luoyang as the capital, but went to Xu County. Luoyang was also demoted and was classified under the rule of Henan Yin. Today's Henan Yin is Xiahoudun. The Cao family and the Xiahou family both belong to the Qian County clan and have an inseparable relationship. So Cao Zhen and Xiahoudun are also very familiar.

"If my brother needs me to go, why not?"

Zhu Zan didn't care, and replied with a smile.

Cao Peng said: "Brother, the fourth brother alone is probably not enough to support our career." ”

"Oh?"

"You think, if our business is big, it will inevitably attract others to prying eyes. The fourth brother will give some support from the official side at most, but if those big tycoons make a move, can the fourth brother withstand it? With us alone, it's still a bit thin...... It's better to have someone who can stand up to the scene...... This person must be trusted by Cao Gong, and have a certain prestige, and he must have enough authority in his hands. At the same time, his relationship with his eldest brother must also be close, otherwise, it is hard to guarantee that he will not design to annex us.

It is also important to note that this person cannot be of the local family and value goods...... Brother, is there such a candidate? ”

Cao Peng's eyes widened, and he looked at Cao Zhen expectantly.

Say that name! Say that name!

He already had a suitable candidate in his heart, but he couldn't spit out.

This name is the most suitable only when Cao Zhen says it...... Cao Zhen frowned in contemplation, his fingers lightly tapping on the fence of the bed.

"If you follow your requirements exactly, there really is such a person."

"Who?"

"What do you think, Counsel Doctor?"

"Doctor?"

"It's my uncle, Cao Hong!"

When Cao Peng heard this name, his heart immediately bloomed......————————————————————
