Perhaps out of a sense of self-protection, he instinctively took a step back and looked at Cao Peng nervously, a little confused.
As for Cao Peng, after a brief gaffe, he quickly reacted.
He also knew that his behavior just now was a bit inappropriate. But he had to say that when facing Guo Jia, he really had difficulty controlling his emotions. This is the most outstanding figure in the Cao Wei Group, and he is also a tragic figure. Among the Cao Wei Group,
There are two tragic characters. One is Guo Jia, and the other is Xun Yu. Xun Yu was in Cao Ying and had a heart for the Han Dynasty. He had been struggling with contradictions. In the end, he chose the Han Dynasty, which forced Cao Cao to make a decision.
Determined to give Xun Yu the final death and serve the country.
And Guo Jia is different from Xun Yu.
He was not as good as Xun Yu, nor did he have particularly deep feelings for the Han Dynasty like Xun Yu did.
Guo Jia's ancestor, Guo Gong, was more independent in his research on Xiao Du Lv for three generations. But by Guo Jia's generation, the Guo family had declined. Although Guo Jia's father was a minor official, he could only barely support it.
Facade. Therefore, it can be said that Guo Jia did not have deep feelings for the Han Dynasty, and he abandoned the law and practiced strategy. His true psychology may not be that he wanted to make a clean break with the family past.
Cao Cao was kind to Guo Jia, so Guo Jia also made up his mind to repay him as a national soldier.
It's a pity that his body... just when he was about to show off his talents, he died unexpectedly at the age of only thirty-eight. When later generations talked about Guo Jia, they all sighed. Cao Peng even felt that the song "Before the Master Begins"
The phrase "the first to die quickly makes the hero burst into tears" may be more appropriate if applied to Guo Jia. As for Zhuge Liang, he has at least controlled the affairs of the Shu Han Dynasty for many years, so how can he be regarded as "the first to die before leaving the army"?
?
Therefore, Cao Peng, who has always been calm and calm since his rebirth, finally lost his temper!
"This is Guo Jia, why is Ah Fu so surprised?"
Cao Peng said quickly: "I have heard for a long time that Guo Fengxiao's genius is amazing, and Cao Peng really admires him. When I saw him just now, I couldn't help but feel a little agitated. I hope Guo Jijiu will forgive me."
Wear it a thousand times, but never wear it!
No matter how well-educated Ren Guojia is, he still feels very comfortable hearing such flattery.
A hint of blush appeared on his thin face, and he smiled slightly, "Ah Fu is overly rewarded."
"Fengxiao, I will take you to Iron House to watch."
"Jia Que is disrespectful."
Deng Ji smiled and pulled Guo Jia to leave. Cao Peng was determined to follow, but Xu Yi was competing with Dian Man over there and could not get away for a while.
Seeing that Guo Jia was about to leave, Cao Peng couldn't bear it anymore and suddenly said: "Guo Jijiu, please take care of yourself."
Guo Jia was stunned for a moment, then stopped and looked back at Cao Peng.
If it were another person, Guo Jia would be angry... It's so good, please tell me to take care of myself? Isn't this a curse on me?
But seeing Cao Peng's sincere face, Guo Jia couldn't get angry.
"Thank you, little brother Cao, for thinking about me. Guo Jia will bear it in my heart."
After saying that, he followed Deng Ji and left.
Looking at Guo Jia's back, Cao Peng suddenly stretched out his hand and slapped himself in the mouth.
"Okay, why are you talking about this?"
He came back to his senses and sighed softly.
At the same time, I felt happy for Deng Ji... He became friends with Xun Yu and Guo Jia. Even though his brother-in-law lost one arm, it was still a blessing.
It stands to reason that as an official in the Eastern Han Dynasty, you should pay attention to appearance and appearance.
After Deng Ji lost an arm, it was difficult for him to become an official. Being a subordinate official was not very particular, but it was very difficult to become an official or a senior official!
However, now the world is in turmoil and there are many princes.
It seems that the requirements for appearance are not as strict as before.
Friendship with Guo Jiaxunyu, coupled with Man Chong... Well! Cao Peng felt that Deng Ji's physical disability was no longer the key, the key was his own talent and learning. Unfortunately, what Deng Ji learned was not military strategy, nor how to govern the country.
He majored in law and was a bit biased.
"Afu, how do you beat this guy?"
Amid Dianman's ridicule, Xu Yi rushed into the formation three times in a row, but failed.
Cao Peng couldn't help but shout loudly, and Cao Peng couldn't help but laugh. He motioned to Deng Fan to get a pair of special cowhide and handed it to Xu Yi.
"Second brother, you have to do some protection even for this.
Bring it with you first, and then I will teach you how to break through the Tiangang Formation... You will definitely not be able to break into the Tiangang Formation like this. It is best to replace the iron sand with sandbags and practice from scratch."
Underneath the cowhide, there is a thick cloth pad, about half a centimeter thick. It is about three fingers wide and about one meter long.
Cao Peng walked up and helped Xu Yi wrap the cowhide pad around Xu Yi's hand.
After the fingers, palms, and wrists were all wrapped properly, they were tightened, and the pads were wrapped with two thin hemp ropes, which turned into a recommended sparring glove. Xu Yi moved his fingers and found that the palms of his fingers were not the same.
He was not affected in any way. Although he was slightly uncomfortable, overall, it seemed to be nothing serious. However, he became more and more curious, how many secrets was hidden in Cao Peng?
"Afu is very interesting!"
Guo Jia smiled and said to Deng Ji.
Deng Ji was a little surprised, "Afu is usually quite steady. I don't know what happened today. When he spoke, he was a little confused. Don't worry about it."
"Ha, what's the point? Does he have good intentions?"
The two of them walked towards Iron House, chatting as they walked.
Guo Jia suddenly asked: "Uncle-Sun, have you ever thought about going out to do some work?"
"ah?"
"You are very knowledgeable and proficient in the law. It stands to reason that you should go to Dali to work. But the problem is that your reputation is not good and your qualifications are slightly insufficient. If you go to Dali, you will probably have to start from scratch. You can earn your qualifications and build your reputation. Even if I can
I'll help you, I won't even think about getting ahead in ten or twenty years."
Dali, also known as Tingwei, is one of the Nine Qings, in charge of criminal law.
It was originally established by the Qin Dynasty. Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty renamed it Dali in the sixth year of Zhongyuan. After the changes of Emperor Wu, Emperor Ai and the Xinmang regime, the names of Tingwei and Dali kept changing. In the early Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty restored the name of Tingwei.
The title of Wei was changed to Dali by Emperor Huan.
Li, in ancient times, it was called Zhang Xing, Tu, and also Li.
Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty added the word "大" to take the meaning of "Dali" from the prison of heavenly officials and nobles.
Therefore, he was in charge of the Criminal Office, also called Dali Temple.
Deng Ji Xiu Xing Ming, Xiao Du Lv, Dali Temple is undoubtedly the best place. But there, you really need to go through qualifications...
Guo Jiadao: "I think that in Dali, you may not have a chance to show off your skills. And it's hard to do anything big. It's better to go out, govern a place, and make a career. With your talent, it's easy to get ahead, and it's better than staying idle."
Suffering in Dali. To be honest, Xudu is not peaceful now. If you stay in Xudu, you will easily be jealous or even framed."
Deng Ji was silent!
From the bottom of his heart, he certainly wanted to stay in Xudu.
His wife, Cao Nan, has been pregnant for eight months and is about to give birth. And since her family, wife and children are all in Xudu, life will be much easier.
Staying in Xudu has the advantages of staying in Xudu; but as Guo Jia said, going out also has the advantages of going out.
It's just that after I left, I wasn't familiar with the place...
"Fengxiao, what you said is very true, but it was a bit sudden, and I couldn't make a decision for a while. Besides, Zhuo Jing is about to give birth, I'm afraid..."
"Oh, I'm just telling you this, if you really want to operate, you still need a chance.
The reason why I say this is to make you prepared. To tell you the truth, Ling Yue built the Tiangang Sword, which is very popular with the lord, and will be used again and again sooner or later. When the time comes, you will have two choices, or stay in Xudu
, or go out for experience. Personally, I think it’s better to go out.
You should think carefully so as not to be hasty..."
Guo Jia is four years older than Deng Ji and thinks more carefully than Deng Ji.
He really regarded Deng Ji as a brother, otherwise he would not have said such words.
When Guo Jia said these words today, he actually assured Deng Ji: You don't have to worry about your future, I can recommend you...
Deng Ji was naturally very grateful to Guo Jia for his kindness.
"If you are worried about me, brother, I will think about it seriously."——
Time flies, and July has entered in the blink of an eye.
The battle between tiger and guard is getting closer and closer.
Various generals under Cao Cao also received the news.
But what interested them the most were the thirty-six Tiangang knives that Cao Cao kept in Cao's mansion! The story of the Tiangang knives gradually spread. As Cao's generals, they naturally hoped to get the Tiangang knives. Because of that
It is not only an honor, but also represents a status in Cao's camp. Who will obtain the Thirty-six Tiangang? This has caused a lot of speculation and speculation.
Several generals who first served Cao Cao will definitely receive this honor.
Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Ying, Cao Hong, Cao Ren, Cao Chun, and Le Jin Yujin must all have a hand.
There are too many monks and too little food, which makes many people feel nervous...
As for Cao Peng, he still lived a leisurely life. Things outside seemed to have nothing to do with him. He spent his days reading, practicing martial arts, or accompanying his father to build weapons in the iron hut, or accompanying his mother and sister, working in the dock.
Play around the fort. Xudu has a unique flavor in autumn. The maples are red in Longshan Mountain and the meandering water flows. The scenery between the mountains and rivers can make people feel peaceful and cultivate their sentiments.
It's a pity that Cao Penghui didn't write many poems.
Otherwise, if you steal two songs and publish them, you can become famous in a small way.
Xu Yi comes to Dianjiawu every day to practice martial arts. After a period of practice, he has slowly mastered the secrets of the Tiangang Formation.
The time spent inside is getting longer and longer, gradually becoming equal to Noriman.
As for Deng Fan, after a long period of practice, he relied on Baduanjin's Kungfu to guide Qi into his bones in one fell swoop and entered the bone-changing stage.
After that, he and Wang Mai contacted Cao Peng to shake the gun and slide the rod.
In order to practice this spear-shaking skill, Cao Peng really put a lot of thought into it. He asked Cao Zhen for help and searched for ash trees within a hundred miles around Xu County. The requirements were very strict, the trees must be at least twenty years old, and there should be no scars.
After visiting these ash trees, Cao Peng made his own according to the teachings of the old martial arts master in his previous life. When Cao Peng was practicing martial arts in his previous life, the old martial arts master had more than a dozen ash rods in his hands, which were specially used to shake the sliding rods of guns. Cao Peng also bought one.
One piece is longer than the white wax pole of the old martial artist, but its weight is far inferior.
After the 1990s, due to extensive logging, white wax poles that were three years old were already considered high-end goods.
A good white wax rod is heavy and dense, with a blue surface and no scars.
It is as straight as a cut, and the head of the rod cannot be much thinner than the handle of the gun. When exerting force, the shaft of the rod trembles. The amplitude of the rod head is not large, but it can last for a long time.
This kind of white wax pole is a truly good pole.
In his previous life, Cao Peng always hoped to buy a good white wax pole, but unfortunately he could not achieve his wish.
Later, when I went to work, I gave up this thought and gradually faded away...
Now in the Three Kingdoms Rebirth, near Longshan alone, there are many ash trees that are twenty, even fifty, a hundred, or even a hundred years old.
Cao Zhen had thirty ash trees brought to him. Cao Peng made a total of fifty ash poles of different lengths, weights, and thicknesses based on the conditions of the ash trees. Then he made a total of fifty ash poles according to Wang Mai and Deng.
Fan's situation, the three of them each chose one.
After Cao Peng had his bones changed, his strength greatly increased.
The weight of the white wax rod has reached about sixteen kilograms.
Wang Mai and Deng Fan's pewter rods weigh about thirty kilograms. Every time they finish practicing the gun sliding rod, their whole body's bones are sore, but the effect is very obvious.
As for Xu Yi and Dianman...
The two competed with each other all day long, breaking into the Tiangang Formation in the school grounds.
Both of them have been practicing martial arts since childhood, and they have learned skills passed down from their families. In history, because Dian Wei died early and Dian Man was young at the time, he did not obtain the true inheritance of Dian Wei. Although his name was left in the history books
, but did not have any great achievements; Xu Yi's situation was different. He still made a big name in history. In the end, he died on the battlefield, which could be regarded as returning his body wrapped in horse leather, fulfilling the long-cherished wish of a military commander.
Today, Dian Wei is still alive!
Dianman's future will be different.
But since their foundation has been laid and their kung fu has taken shape, it would not be appropriate to contact Cao Peng's routines again.
So the two of them only chose the exercises they liked, treating it as a joke, rather than boring exercises every day.
Everyone got what he wanted, and Cao Peng didn't get too involved in asking...
On the seventh day of July, there was an autumn rain and the weather turned cold.
As the martial arts performance drew closer, Xudu became more and more lively.
As for Cao Zhen, since he was released from prison, he has become very talkative, rather like a dragon that sees the beginning but never the end.
I am still in Xudu today, I may go to Yin, Henan on the next day, and I may show up in Luoyang on the third day. Fortunately, there is no war during this period, and Cao Zhen has asked Xu Huang and Cao Cao for a long leave.
, so no one asked about him.
Cao Peng naturally knew what Cao Zhen was busy with.
Around the fifth day of July, Zhu Zan suddenly came to the door.
"Afu, I have to leave!"
Cao Peng couldn't react for a moment and asked subconsciously: "Fourth brother, where are you going?"
"Yesterday, General Yuan Rang conscripted me in the name of Henan Yin. He was appointed as the governor of the western part of Henan Yin and Cao Cao, and was appointed as the northern captain of Luoyang."
"ah?"
Cao Peng was shocked.
Luoyang Northern Lieutenant? That was the position held by Cao Cao when he created the Five-Colored Stick.
In terms of official positions, it is not too big, with a salary of only four hundred stone. But Luoyang is the imperial capital, and Beiwei... is a very important position, responsible for public security and other affairs. At the same time, Luoyang Beiwei is under the jurisdiction of
This area is also the most prosperous place in Luoyang.
Although the situation in Luoyang now is very different from when Cao Cao was appointed as the northern captain of Luoyang, it is an important position after all.
"So, did Brother choose to locate in the north?"
Zhu Zan nodded and said softly: "The northern part of Luoyang is a prosperous place. It governs the intersection of Luo River and Yishui River. All goods from the east and west are gathered here."
"And what kind of help does Fourth Brother need?"
Zhu Zan smiled and said: "I don't need help! With General Yuan Rang here, it won't be a problem."
Besides, your sixth brother will be leaving in a while."
"Where are you going, Brother Six?"
"My lord recruited Zhong Yuanchang and appointed him as a sergeant. He also supervised the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong and guarded the Chang'an area. Zidan recommended your sixth brother to Zhong Yuanchang through the relationship with Xun Shangshu.
, appointed as assistant historian, took charge of the list of officials and disciples of the capital, and accompanied him to Chang'an."
When Cao Peng heard this, he couldn't help but take a breath!
Sili Xiaowei, formerly known as Wohu, was a censor who supervised the capital and local areas in the Han Dynasty. If Dali can be compared to the Supreme Court in later generations, then Sili Xiaowei was an independent prosecutor independent of the judiciary.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty established him in the fourth year of Zhenghe. Later, he was omitted as a school captain and was called Sili. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Sili Xiaowei was reinstated and his rank was changed from Zhong 2,000 shi to Bi 2,000 shi...
In terms of salary, the salary of Sili Xiaowei was reduced by half a salary compared to that of the Western Han Dynasty.
But this is because the Eastern Han Dynasty established its capital in Luoyang. In fact, there is no real power at all. It has subordinate officials and controls a private armed force of 1,500 people, which is not controlled by the local government. Cao Zun
, was actually transferred to Chang'an?
Cao Zhen, a princeling, has quite a lot of energy!
At the same time, Cao Peng was very surprised.
It's not that Cao Peng didn't know the name of Zhong Yao. But all he knew was that Zhong Yao was a famous writer and calligrapher at that time. All calligraphy in later generations came from the "King Zhong". This "King" is
The great calligrapher of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was Wang Xizhi, and the word "Zhong" was Zhong Yao. The reason why Cao Peng had a deep memory of Zhong Yao was not so much because of Zhong Yao, but because of his son, Zhong Hui.
Zhong Yao was born into the Zhong family, a wealthy family in Yingchuan.
When he was young, he was supported by his grandfather and promoted to Xiaolian. He served as Shangshulang and the order of Yangling (today's Xianyang area). He later resigned due to illness and was considered Tingweizheng and Huangmen Shilang again. In the third year of Chuping, Cao Cao sent
The envoy contacted Li Jue and Guo Si. At that time, Li Jue and Guo Si doubted Cao Cao's sincerity and were unwilling to interact with each other. It was Zhong Yao's persuasion that made Li Jue and Guo Si become friends with Cao Cao, and Cao Cao was recognized by the court.
Later, Li Jue and Guo Si fought against each other, and Zhong Yao planned to rescue the Han Emperor.
It can be said that the Han emperor was able to escape from Chang'an, and his contribution was indispensable to Zhong Yao. He was later appointed as Yushi Zhongcheng, and in the first year of Jian'an, he was moved to Shangshu Pushe and Dongwu Tinghou.
Speaking of which, Zhong Yao definitely belongs to the royalist party and is also a member of the Yingchuan family.
Cao Cao's appointment of him...could it be a sign of bowing to the family, or perhaps there was an ulterior motive?
However, these seemed too far away for Cao Peng.
There was a trace of sadness in his heart. Not long after they became sworn brothers, the brothers had to go their separate ways. Thinking about it, Cao Peng couldn't help but feel a little sad.
Zhu Zan smiled and said, "One more thing. Zi Dan is serving drinks at Yuxiu Tower tonight. Let me inform you that you must arrive early..."
"Is this a farewell?"
"Haha, yes and no."
Zhu Zan lowered his voice and whispered in Cao Peng's ear: "Uncle Cao is back and he wants to see you."
Uncle Cao?
Cao Peng was startled for a moment, but then he realized, "But are you still able to advise the officials?"
