Cao Ji was ignorant and ignorant, and had never left Zhongyang Town since he was a child.
But Wang Meng is different. He served as a commander in Quzhou and traveled with the Yellow Turban Army in Nanyang in his early years. He is well-informed. Who is Mr. Yuan'an? Cao Ji doesn't know, Cao Peng has never heard of it, but Wang Meng knows. This Yuan'an
Mr. Pang Ji is a native of Lumen Mountain in Xiangyang and a famous scholar in Jingzhou.
When Liu Biao first arrived in Jingzhou, his foothold was not yet stable.
At that time, Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng occupied Xiangyang and gathered people to cause chaos.
At that time, Liu Biao had neither soldiers nor generals. He only held the title of Jingzhou Mu and the title of a Han clan clan member.
However, Liu Biao was one of the Eight Gus in the world and was famous all over the world.
Don't underestimate the word 'name', sometimes it is worth thousands of troops.
Even in later generations, people would fight to death for a "name". But in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, this reputation played an even greater role.
Liu Biao invited Pang Ji and Kuai Yue to come out in the name of Ba Gu.
The two of them rode into Xiangyang City alone and persuaded Zhang Hu with their sharp tongue. Chen Sheng's tens of thousands of troops dispersed. Therefore, Liu Biao occupied Xiangyang without spending a single soldier and started his first campaign to conquer Jingzhou.
Gun. In other words, without Pang Ji, it would not be easy for Liu Biao to gain a foothold in Jingzhou...
In addition, Pang Ji also has another name.
There is a saying in Jingzhou: Of the two pangs in Lumen, the small pang is the best.
Pang Ji, whose courtesy name is Yuan'an, is the bigger Pang among the "Two Pangs of Lumen", and his brother is Pang Zuwen, the Duke of Pang De, a very famous celebrity in Jingzhou.
As for Sima Hui, he is a branch of the Hongnong Sima family. He is rarely known as a child prodigy and is also one of the famous people in Jingzhou.
On the contrary, the name of Wenpin Wen Zhongye seemed a bit unknown. At least Wang Meng didn't know who Wenpin was, but Wang Meng was also sincerely afraid of Wenpin's martial arts. Cao Peng said he was 'asking for advice'
, it really scared Wang Meng into a cold sweat.
Not to mention Pang Ji and Sima Hui, even Wenpin, trying to deal with Cao Peng is as easy as crushing an ant.
Ask for advice?
In this era, asking for advice means a slap in the face.
Is this kid crazy?
He actually wanted to slap Sima Hui and Pang Ji in the face!
Wenpin's face sank, he held his sword in his hand and his eyes widened.
A faint trace of murderous aura quietly emanated from his body. Cao Peng felt it the most real. He only felt that his whole body was cold and his mouth was dry.
However, he was not afraid!
He is gambling.
I bet Sima Hui will stand up and speak. Since Sima Hui can be a famous person, and in the Romance, he is the teacher of Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu, and Pang Tong, his temperament must be different from ordinary people. In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Sima Hui does not appear many times.
But it left a deep impression.
Elegant and knowledgeable!
How can such a famous person not allow others to speak?
Unexpectedly, before Sima Hui could speak, Pang Ji waved his hand first and said seriously: "Zhong Ye, please don't be rude."
His expression was serious and solemn.
Wenpin seemed to respect Pang Ji very much. When he saw Pang Ji speak, he immediately withdrew his murderous intent and released his sword at the same time. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised in a soft arc. His expression, with a hint of disdain, seemed to be
Said: Let's see what truth you, a young boy, can tell.
Sima Hui looked at Cao Peng quietly with gentle eyes.
Cao Peng is not tall, and even among his peers, he is a bit short. Wang Mai is thirteen years old and almost 170 centimeters tall, but Cao Peng is just over 160. Coupled with congenital malnutrition, he is almost 170 centimeters tall.
He looked extremely thin and frail.
A gray shawl that has been washed white and covered with a cotton robe.
The robe seems a bit big, which makes him look a little thinner...
Compared with the people here, Cao Peng's clothes were simply shabby and ridiculous. However, he held his head high and showed no sign of cowardice.
Those eyes were as calm as water, showing a hint of pride.
Sima Hui couldn't help but laugh!
Even though his clothes are shabby, his demeanor is really amazing.
"Youxue boy, do you have any advice?"
The Master said, "When three people are walking together, there must be one who can teach me!"
Therefore, whether it was Sima Hui or Pang Ji, they were not people who had to agree with each other.
Wenpin's face was expressionless, but in his heart, he was secretly praising: Although this child is not very old, his bearing is extraordinary.
Cao Peng clenched his fists and even dug his nails into his flesh, trying to keep himself calm.
As he said to Wang Mai before, if you want to stand out in this era? In addition to true ability, you also need two conditions.
One, family background.
The second is fame.
Family background is just one's birth. This is determined by God and cannot be undone by humans.
But fame is different. This thing can be hyped and earned. Cao Cao can do it regardless of his origin or virtue. But if he has some fame, the treatment will naturally be different. And Sima Hui and Pang Ji in front of him are undoubtedly
It is a shortcut for him to earn fame.
After calming down his mind, Cao Peng bowed his head first, and then said: "I just heard the two gentlemen talking about the general trend of the world. I am not talented, so I don't agree with it.
Mr. Yuan An said that Cao Cao is not Yuan Shao's enemy.
But the boy thinks that Yuan Shao is just a person seeking fame and reputation, and he is definitely not Cao Cao's rival."
Pang Ji just discussed the general trend of the world with Sima Hui, and thought that although Cao Cao served as the emperor, he could not achieve anything. The reason is very simple... Although Cao Cao occupied Yanzhou and Qingzhou, he now has Yuzhou. In name, he controls the land of the three states.
, and served the emperor to command the princes.
However, Yanzhou and Qingzhou were in ruins, and Cao Cao killed Bian Cang, which made the Yanzhou scholars very dissatisfied.
As a last resort, Cao Cao shifted his focus to Yuzhou. But even so, this foundation still seemed not solid enough. In addition, Cao Cao was surrounded by enemies on all sides. After welcoming the emperor, he became the target of public criticism... On the other hand, Yuan Shao, the fourth generation and the three princes, dominated
In Hebei, money and food are abundant. Whether in terms of reputation or strength, Cao Cao cannot defeat Yuan Shao. If he welcomes the emperor, his demise may be hastened.
In short, Pang Ji is not very optimistic about Cao Cao!
The young man sitting next to Pang Ji looked at Cao Peng with interest.
Sima Hui said: "What do you think, little friend?"
"Young man thinks that Yuan Shao will be defeated!"
"Oh, I would like to hear the details."
Pang Ji couldn't help but feel a little moved, and waved his hand to the young man next to him to give up his seat.
The young man didn't have any objections. He stood up with a smile and gave up his seat.
Cao Peng cupped his hands, walked over and knelt down, "In the past, Emperor Gaozu fought with Chu Xiang. Although Chu Xiang was strong, Gaozu won in the end. Why?
Xiang Ji was the successor of the great general Xiang Yan, and the emperor was no more than a pavilion leader in Peixian County.
This is like today's Yuan Shao and Cao Cao. Although Yuan Shao was born in the family of the fourth generation and the three princes, and he lived in the land of Hebei where money and food were abundant, if Chu Xiang was tyrannical. But I have heard that if it weren't for Yuan Shao, how could Dong Zhuo's rebellion have happened? I think back then, ten
The Chang Shi brought trouble to the imperial court, and General He Jin wanted to get rid of the Ten Chang Shi. Cao Cao once advised him to take Zhang Rang and others directly, but was ultimately blocked by Yuan Shao.
It can be seen from this that Yuan Shao has a superficial appearance, but he is not a wise man..."
Pang Ji and Sima Hui couldn't help but be moved when they heard this. After looking at each other, their eyes on Cao Peng immediately became a little different.
And Wang Meng and others who were huddled in a corner of the room were not only dumbfounded.
"Brother, from whom did Ah Fu learn these things?"
Cao Ji opened his mouth wide, swallowed and said, "How did I know? This child was not easy to talk to before and has never talked to me about this.
If you ask me, you might as well ask Hutou, maybe he knows better than me."
Wang Meng immediately looked at Wang Mai and saw Wang Mai shaking his head and saying, "I don't know. Although Ah Fu and I often played together, he never said these things."
"This child is indeed extraordinary!"
Wang Meng and others were whispering, while on the other side, Cao Peng gradually entered the state.
"In my opinion, although Yuan Shao is prosperous, there is nothing to fear."
"Appreciate further details."
"I look at Yuan Shao as having ten defeats, while Cao Cao has ten victories.
Yuan Shao was born into a noble family and was rich in etiquette. Cao Cao's style was to let nature take its course, and this was the winning way;
Yuan Shao acted rebelliously, and Cao Cao acted obediently. This is the victory of justice;
Since Huan Ling, the government has failed to be lenient. Yuan Shao used lenient relief, while Cao Cao used fierce correction. This is the victory of the government;
Yuan Shao was lenient on the outside and taboo on the inside, and appointed nepotism. Cao Cao was simple on the outside and clear on the inside, and appointed people based on their talents. This is the victory;
Yuan Shao had many plans and few decisions, Cao Cao had to make plans at will, and this plan was successful;
Yuan Shaogu has a good reputation, and Cao Cao treats others with sincerity. This virtue is the most successful;
Yuan Shao was close to the villain and kept away from the virtuous minister, and Cao Cao was careful about everything. This was the victory of benevolence;
Yuan Shao listened to the slander and was confused and confused. Cao Cao understood everything clearly and could not infiltrate it, so he was victorious.
Yuan Shao confused right and wrong, Cao Cao's laws were strict, this article is the victory;
Yuan Shao used his weak strength and didn't know the key points of the army. Cao Cao was able to defeat many with a small number and used his troops like a god. This was the victory.
Therefore, I think that if Cao Cao has these ten victories, he will defeat Yuan Shao sooner or later!"
In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, speech was very free.
Common people can discuss government affairs and criticize celebrities, but the court will not punish them for doing so.
Especially among celebrities, they can criticize and demote court officials as they please. Those who have been criticized cannot blame them if they know it, let alone get angry. Instead, they should come to seek advice and even express their gratitude. If they retaliate wantonly, they will be punished.
People say he is not generous enough and narrow-minded.
Historically, in the third year of Jian'an, Yuan Shao provoked Cao Cao.
Cao Cao had some concerns about Yuan Shao at that time, so his counselor Guo Jia, who was the military advisor at the time, came up with this ten-win-ten-defeat policy.
Among the heroes of the Three Kingdoms, if Cao Peng's favorite counselor was not the well-known Zhuge Kongming.
He admired Jia Xu and Guo Jia the most, and he often felt sad that Guo Jia died before his ambition was fulfilled. Guo Jia did not leave too many traces in history. And these ten wins and ten losses
, is also one of the most classic.
In later generations, some scholars believed that the theory of ten victories and ten defeats was not written by Guo Jia. But Cao Peng firmly believed that it was from Guo Jia. Now, he intends to seek fame in front of Pang Ji and Sima Hui, and what he talks about
, it was precisely the comparison between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, so I took it out without hesitation.
Pang Ji and Sima Hui looked at each other in shock.
This theory of ten victories and ten defeats is as thought-provoking as Huang Zhongdalu.
Even Wen Ping, who was standing by, nodded repeatedly... If nothing else, this knowledge alone was enough to make him think highly of Cao Peng.
"You mean, Cao Cao will definitely win?"
The young man standing next to Pang Ji who had been silent all this time suddenly asked.
Cao Peng nodded without hesitation: "Exactly."
"What if we don't win?"
"ah?"
"I mean, what if Cao Cao loses to Yuan Shao?"
There was a sense of vindictiveness in the young man's words.
Obviously, although Cao Peng's words moved Pang Ji and Sima Hui, they failed to truly convince the young man.
Cao Peng was not in a hurry to answer. Under the gaze of Pang Ji and Sima Hui, he pondered for a moment, raised his head and said, "If Cao Cao loses, the people will suffer."
