Chapter 572: Nanyang's Old Friend (1/2)

Deng Zhi is not refusing. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Cao Peng knows this very well.

In fact, when returning to Nanyang, if you want to show your talents the most, Deng Zhi is definitely one. He is a native of Nanyang, and he is eager to make a career in Nanyang, so that the people who underestimated him back then can take a good look. But the more this is the case, the more cautious and calm Deng Zhi becomes.

All in all, nearly ten years of experience have made Deng Zhi grow outstandingly.

He is no longer the arrogant spearhead boy he was at the beginning, and he has become more comprehensive when he thinks about things.

Guangwu Zhongxing, the founding of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

There are ten strong ...... in Nanyang County

But now, the top ten giants of the past have basically declined. However, the strength of the township party formed over the years has made the top ten powerful people still occupy a leading position among the powerful people in various places. This is especially true in Deng Village, Jianyang. At that time, Deng Village still had Deng Ji as Liu Biao's lieutenant general, which made Deng Cun reluctantly support. However, at the end of the second year of Jian'an, when Cao Cao conquered Wancheng for the second time, Deng Ji was broken by Wei Yan in Huyang, so that there was no one who could handle Deng Village in Jianyang. It's not that there are no outstanding people, such as Deng Ji, and now he is majestic on all sides. But after Deng Ji left his hometown and fled Nanyang, he never had any contact with Deng Village.

This also made Deng Village in Jianyang feel very embarrassed.

Deng Zhi went back to Deng Village to persuade the elders of the Deng clan that the problem was not too big.

may not be able to convince Deng Cun to sincerely join them, and there is still a need for a figure who can stabilize their military morale.

Thinking about it, Deng Ai is really the most suitable.

But Cao Peng was not particularly reluctant!

Thorn Yang, separated by a water from Nieyang, near Xinye, close to Chaoyang.

There could be a war there at any time, and let Deng Ai go to Jianyang, Cao Peng was really not at ease.

But the problem is that he can't find a more suitable candidate......

If Deng Fan is here, he is also a suitable person, and Cao Peng will not worry about Deng Fan's safety. Deng Ai, too young! Deng Ai, who is only ten years old, has to take on such a dangerous task, in case there is a mistake, how can Cao Peng explain to his sister?

Seeing that Cao Peng was silent, Deng Zhi didn't say any more.

He knew that Cao Peng would definitely make the most correct choice in the end.

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

On the fifth day of the first lunar month, Cao Peng made an official appearance and summoned officials of all sizes in Nanyang.

Now, the situation in Nanyang is very bad. Not only was Wancheng lost, Liu Bei gradually became bigger, but there were also troubles in terms of officials.

Among the several counties directly controlled by Cao Peng, except for the six counties of Wuyin, Huyang, Yexian, Duyang, Pheasant, and Luyang, the rest of the counties have no chief officials. There are a few county seats, which are basically supported by some officials, and the situation is extremely bad. Thorny Sun, in particular, is now almost in a state of anarchy. The predecessor of Jianyang Ling, who was killed by Liu Bei, and the county officials had already scattered and fled. Later, Jia Xu took back Jianyang, but he couldn't find a suitable person to make arrangements...... In desperation, he had no choice but to let Fu Wei temporarily take the post of lieutenant of Jianyang County, and barely stabilized the situation. However, Fu Wei seems to be better at governing the army, and in terms of internal affairs, he is obviously not particularly suitable. After he took over Jianyang, he clashed with Liu Beijun several times, and they were equal. But the form of the thorny sun is still confused.

Who can take over the thorny sun?

This is also a question that Cao Peng has been considering.

In his heart, there is a suitable candidate.

But when he summoned the officials, he did not see the man......

"Li Yan, why not?"

Cao Peng took the roster, and after counting the personnel, he couldn't help frowning and asked in a deep voice.

Lu Chang said with some embarrassment: "Zhengfang is unwell, and he has not improved. Therefore, if you fail to be called, please keep a lot of sea covers. ”

I'm unwell again!

Four days ago, he was unwell and didn't even go to greet Cao Peng.

And now, Cao Peng summoned the officials for the first time after taking office, and Li Yan was unwell.

If Cao Peng hadn't paid too much attention to this matter before, then now, he could already be sure that Li Yan was not feeling well, but was feeling unwell. I'm afraid that he is a little unconvinced or dissatisfied with his appointment as Nanyang Taishou.

Thinking of this, Cao Peng put down the file in his hand, his eyes flashed, revealing a thoughtful expression.

"Since this Li Zhengfang is not feeling well, then recuperate at home and don't let him do any more official duties.

In this way, the affairs in Li Yan's hands will be temporarily taken over by Zizhang. When he's well, let's arrange things for him to do. ”

"But ......"

Lu Chang was stunned, revealing a hint of melancholy.

Ziheng don't say anything more.

Could it be that my Nanyang County would not be able to operate without him Li Zhengfang? He is now the master of the book, and all kinds of documents need to be handled by him. Every day of backlog causes a lot of losses. It's impossible for me to wait for him to recover before I can start arranging things.

Zizhang is an outstanding scholar, has studied in Taixue, is familiar with the classics, and is good at dealing with documents.

After that, he will be the chief bookkeeper on his behalf. As for Li Zhengfang, when will his body recover, it will not be too late to be entrusted with a heavy responsibility. So decided the matter! In the evening, I will hold a banquet in the house to entertain guests from all walks of life. At that time, you will have to worry about Lao Ziheng and pay more attention to the situation in the city. ”

Cao Peng's words made Lu Chang immediately shut his mouth.

It's not that he has a close relationship with Li Yan, but he just feels a little pity.

Li Yan's thoughts, Lu Chang can roughly guess some. Presumably his self-esteem has made it again! He was afraid that he was not very convinced by Cao Peng, even if Cao Peng was famous, but after all, he was too young. As for Li Yan himself, he is an extremely arrogant person, so he doesn't feel particularly comfortable. He just wanted to use this means to give Cao Peng a dismount. But he didn't want to, Cao Peng directly asked someone to replace Li Yan's position as the chief bookkeeper. If this guy can get acquainted with each other, he can't say that he has a good future, and it's right in front of his eyes......

It's a pity, it's a pity!

Lu Chang couldn't offend Li Yan, and even angered Cao Peng.

After all, he will have to work under Cao Peng in the future.

A small master book, dare to take the shelf and provoke too much? If this is a different person, such as Xiahoudun's fierce temper, if he doesn't get it right, he will directly take his life. Therefore, Lu Chang could only persuade for a few words, and then stopped talking about Li Yan's topic.

In his heart, Cao Peng didn't like Li Yan.

In his previous life, he had a very bad impression of Li Yan, especially when Zhuge Liang's troops went out of Qishan, seeing that Sima Yi had exhausted the grain and grass, and victory was in sight, Li Yan was afraid of taking responsibility because he was not good for supervising the grain and grass, so he slandered the later lord Liu Chanjin and falsely accused Zhuge Liang, causing Zhuge Liang's soldiers to go out of Qishan, and the success fell short. From this point of view, Cao Peng can't look down on Li Yan's character and morality.

And now Li Yan is actually fighting with him again?

Cao Peng could never bow to him......

The so-called three visits to the thatched house, the so-called corporal Lixian, also need to divide people.

If it was a person like Pang Tong Zhuge Liang, Cao Peng didn't care about the thatched house. But for a self-contained person like Li Yan, the more polite he is, the more arrogant he becomes. Therefore, since Li Yan said that he was not in good health, Cao Peng didn't mind and let him rest well.

Anyway, the manpower in his hands is quite sufficient for the time being.

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

That night, in the palace, Cao Peng invited the guests who came to congratulate him.

Ma Xuan also came to the banquet, originally wanting to stir up right and wrong on the banquet, but when he saw the guests sitting on the banquet, he closed his mouth very wisely. Because, at the banquet, there was a messenger sent by Liu Biao, who was the Pang Shanmin of Lumen Mountain. Pang Zi not only has a relationship with the Cai family, but also has a lot of contact with Zhuge Liang. With Pang Shanmin here, Ma Xuan is really not very good at playing with what is wrong.

However, he saw Liu Biao's thoughts from the arrival of Pang Shanmin.

Maybe Liu Biao didn't want to have a bad relationship with the Cao family, so he let Pang Shanmin come just to release goodwill to Cao Peng. The whole Jingzhou knew that Pang had the grace of knowing Cao Peng back then. Now although Pang Degong has gone into hiding, the favor between Cao Peng and Pang Zi is still there. As soon as Ma Xuan saw Pang Shanmin, he immediately felt that something was not right...... Liu Biao, do you want to make peace with the Cao family?

He suddenly had no intention of continuing to stay in Wuyin, so he hurriedly went to the banquet and left.

Ma Xuan must return to Wancheng as soon as possible and tell Liu Bei about Pang Shanmin's visit, so that Liu Bei can prepare in advance......

For Ma Xuan, Cao Peng did not keep it.

He only knew that this Ma Xuan was the boss of the Ma family's five constants, and he was the eldest brother of the white-eyed Ma Liang.

Although it is recorded in history that Ma Xuan is very talented.

But in Cao Peng's memory, Ma Xuan's name was not even mentioned in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. This kind of person is not very convenient to woo, and giving him a good face is easy to make them more proud. If you don't do it well, you will bring shame on yourself. This kind of thing, Cao Peng disdains it.

It's just a pity that Zhao Yun left with Ma Xuan.

He didn't even say goodbye to Cao Peng, and left without even taking a look at him......

Cao Peng knew that he couldn't recruit Zhao Yun now.

But let Zhao Yun go so plainly, to be honest, he was really a little reluctant in his heart.

That night, Cao Peng was in the mansion, enjoying himself with the visitors.

Pang Shanmin told Cao Peng that Pang Degong is now in Lumen Mountain, and if he has time, he will also invite Cao Peng to visit.

Cao Peng readily agreed.

The next day, Cao Peng sent Pang Shanmin away.

As soon as he returned to the gate of the county party, he saw Du Ji hurriedly coming forward, "Childe, just now there was a person who claimed to be an old friend of Gongzi and was waiting in the hall. ”

Friends?

When Cao Peng heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Does he have an old friend in Nanyang?

It seems that except for Pang Degong, Cao Peng is in Nanyang and does not have any friends and relatives.

Feeling a little puzzled in his heart, Cao Peng hurriedly came to the hall. As soon as he walked up the stairs, he saw two masters and servants in the hall.

One was over thirty years old, and looked a little old, with gray hair on his temples.

The other is an old man, looking at his age, he should be almost in his prime......

When Cao Peng saw these two people, a bright smile suddenly appeared on his face.

He walked into the hall quickly and laughed loudly: "Brother Kuai, old housekeeper, when will the two of you come to Wuyin?" Friends are disappointed, and they hope to forgive their sins. ”
