He was born in Mayi, Yanmen, Bingzhou, and was twenty-eight years old.
If the genealogy is deduced, Zhang Liao's ancestor is Nie Yi, the richest man in Mayi during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. This man once launched the Mayi conspiracy and tried to seduce the Huns, but ultimately failed. After that, Nie Yi's descendants tried to avoid their enemies and the Huns.
After being chased by others, he changed his surname to Zhang. In Yanmen County, although the Zhang family in Mayi was not a wealthy family, it could be regarded as a powerful one.
Zhang Liao was recommended as a county official when he was young. He was recruited by Ding Yuan because of his outstanding military strength. He later joined Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu and was named the first of the eight capable generals.
At the same time, he was also one of the five good generals under Cao Cao later.
And Cao Xing...
More legendary!
To be honest, before this, Cao Peng had always thought that Cao Xing was dead.
He knew Cao Xing, but not because he had the same surname. In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms deceived by Luo Da, when Cao Cao and Lu Bu were fighting, Xiahou Dun went out to meet the enemy, but Cao Xing hid under the flag gate and shot a cold arrow and blinded one eye. To this day,
Cao Peng still remembered the fragment in the novel: Xiahou Dun pulled out the cold arrow and found that his eyeballs were also pulled out, so he shouted: How can the essence and blood of his parents be thrown away, so he swallowed the eyeballs, clapped his horse and danced with guns, in full view of everyone
He rushed down to the banner of Lu Bu's army and shot the frightened Cao Xing to death.
This episode is called Ba Ya's eyes.
When Yuan Kuocheng, the storytelling master, told this story, his blood boiled.
Unexpectedly, Cao Xing is still alive...
Cao Xing is a native of Pei State, and his ancestors migrated to Bingzhou in the early years.
He is from the same hometown as Hao Meng, one of Lu Bu's eight capable generals, and has a very good relationship. He has always served as Hao Meng's deputy in the army.
Xiahou Dun's eye was indeed blinded by Cao Xing. In terms of archery, Cao Xing was the strongest among Lu Bu's troops except Lu Bu.
In the first year of Jian'an, Hao Meng, one of the eight strong generals, was deceived by Yuan Shu and plotted a rebellion with the intention of capturing Xiapi.
That time, Hao Meng almost succeeded and led his troops to almost attack the inner city of Xiapi. Due to the sudden incident, Lu Bu fled in panic. On the way, he met Wei Xu's general Gao Shun and then recaptured Xiapi. Cao Xing later found out the whole story.
He immediately raised troops to capture Hao Meng. The two fought fiercely. Hao Meng injured Cao Xing, but Cao Xing chopped off an arm. Later, Gao Shun rushed over and chopped off Hao Meng's head with a single blow.
Later Lu Bu asked, and Cao Xing answered truthfully.
Therefore, Lu Bu took Cao Xing as his confidant and ordered him to command Hao Meng's troops.
Zhang Liao and Cao Xing are now extremely trusted generals under Lu Bu, and they can even be regarded as figures who can stand alone...
In other words, Xiahou Dun pulled out his arrow and ate his eyes, which is purely fictional.
And Cao Xing's villainous actions in the novel were obviously fabricated by Luo Da.
"The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" killed people!
At first, Cao Peng was so stunned that he was instantly killed by Lu Bu with one move, so he didn't pay attention to their names.
But when he woke up, he couldn't help but feel shocked.
"It is Cao Peng's crime to thank the two generals for their hard work."
"Ha, what does this mean?" Zhang Liao said with a smile: "The three young generals are good at martial arts. Wei Xuhoucheng and Song Xian are not weak in martial arts. The three young generals were able to suppress the three of them. They are indeed heroic young men.
Shulong, in comparison, we are old."
Zhang Liao has a handsome appearance and has the masculine beauty of a northern man.
His face has sharp edges and corners, but the lines are much softer than Lu Bu's.
What about Cao Xing? He is not tall, only about 170 centimeters tall. He speaks in a soft voice, very gentle, and does not seem to be angry.
But those who know these two people understand that these two are also murderous masters.
Zhang Liao, in particular, held a high position in Lu Bu's army. He served as the governor of the North and led an army alone.
Under Lu Bu, there were several people who led an army. Among them, the most elite camp was led by Wei Xu. Zhang Liao led an army and was stationed in Pengcheng on weekdays. In addition to these two people, there was another person who led an army.
That is Zang Ba, one of the eight strong generals who was born as a thief in Mount Tai.
As for Cao Xing, he usually leads troops to garrison Xiaxiang County in Xiapi County. His main task is to monitor Guangling.
Although he leads an army alone, he is actually under the control of Lu Bu, and can be regarded as a relatively elite force...
Cao Peng was polite and then asked curiously: "Dare you ask the two generals something?"
"What's the matter?"
"Who is the general who came out of the restaurant just now?"
Cao Peng always felt that the young general was a bit effeminate, and Lu Bu's attitude toward her seemed very strange.
Zhang Liao and Cao Xing couldn't help laughing when they heard Cao Peng's question.
"Oh...you mean Lingqi? Hehehe..."
The two laughed but did not answer, leaving Cao Peng confused.
Cao Xing said: "You will naturally know her identity tomorrow."
It is difficult to distinguish between male and female names these days.
If you just heard the name Xia Houlan, you would never expect him to be a brave warrior.
There are also Zhang Xiu, Chu Feiyan... In short, the names are all weird, and Cao Peng's mind is not on that, so he doesn't care.
Zhang Liao and Cao Xing sent Cao Peng and his party to the post station and wished the post officer good arrangements.
"Little brother, can you take your name with you?"
"Uh, I'm taking it with me."
Cao Peng quickly handed the name card and gift slip to Zhang Liao. Zhang Liao took it without looking at it, nodded to him, and left.
"The Haixi side is very complicated."
Cao Xing did not leave in a hurry, but looked at Cao Peng with a smile.
It gives the impression that he is not an assassin, but like a kind brother.
Cao Peng also felt that Cao Xing was very friendly, so he started talking with Cao Xing at the gate of the inn.
"Well, it is indeed complicated."
"Are you still used to it?"
"I'm still used to it... Anyway, I can barely get a foothold in Haixi now."
"Well, that's good!" Cao Xing said warmly: "Don't be in a hurry to do anything. Some things cannot be rushed. You need to take your time. I heard that there are several county magistrates who are also capable, but there is no such thing.
A person can stand firm... By the way, Deng Haixi..."
"Oh, I forgot to mention that my brother-in-law happens to be away from Haixi and it will probably take a few days before he can return.
I was also afraid of wasting time, so I took the liberty to come... My brother-in-law is still in Huailing and has not even received the news."
"Your brother-in-law is..."
"It's Deng Haixi."
Cao Xing showed a look of surprise, "That's not surprising."
After the two chatted for a few more words, Cao Xing said goodbye and left.
Cao Peng exhaled a breath and walked into the post house. He originally wanted to go to his courtyard, but unexpectedly a man walked towards him.
Because he suddenly appeared from the side, Cao Peng was unable to dodge and collided with him.
"ah!"
The man stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
Cao Peng hurriedly stretched out his hand to support him, "Sir, are you okay?"
"I was in a hurry and bumped into the young general. Please forgive me."
The man was very polite and apologized to Cao Peng.
Cao Peng just smiled and turned sideways to make way.
The man seemed to have something urgent to go out, so he said no more words, thanked him, handed over his hands and left in a hurry...
"Who was that person just now?"
Cao Peng looked at the man's back and asked the postman next to him softly.
"Is the young general talking about Sun Gongyou?"
"Sun Gongyou?"
The postman quickly explained: "This man's name is Sun Qian, whose courtesy name is Gongyou. He is the envoy of General Xuande of Zhendong."
"Liu Bei?"
"Exactly!"
Cao Peng couldn't help but feel a little strange and asked: "Didn't Duke Xuande just return to Pei County with his troops? Wouldn't he also send an envoy to congratulate him?"
The postman shook his head, "That's not true, Mr. Gongyou has been here for some time.
But we just happened to catch up with the prince on his triumphant return, so we stayed to congratulate him. He rarely goes out, so why does he seem to be in a hurry today?"
It can be heard that this postman respects Liu Bei very much.
Cao Peng smiled and did not ask further.
I just feel a little strange: Liu Bei and Cao Cao were attacking Yuan Shu some time ago, why did Sun Qian suddenly go to Xiapi County?
Sun Qian, a native of Beihai, Qingzhou, was a disciple of Zheng Xuan, a contemporary master of Confucian classics.
Initially recommended by Zheng Xuan, he served under Kong Rong, the governor of Beihai at that time. Later, Liu Bei borrowed troops from Kong Rong to help Xuzhou, and Sun Qian came with him, and he stayed with Liu Bei ever since. Historically, this It can be said that he was Liu Bei's first-class diplomat. Before Liu Bei became famous, he made many contributions. However, later, with the rise of Zhuge Liang, he gradually disappeared.
Sun Qian appeared in Xiapi at this time. What's going on?
Cao Peng scratched his head and walked into the courtyard.
The environmental conditions of Xiapi Yiguan are not bad. The small courtyard is very spacious and quiet.
Several injured people have been sent to the hospital for treatment, and a group of slaves are cleaning the room inside.
Dianman and Xu Yi, on the other hand, were sitting blankly on the steps, both of them were dejected and looked a little disheartened.
Cao Peng was startled, then walked over and sat down next to the two of them.
"Second brother, third brother, what are you..."
Xu Yi raised her head with a tangled look on her face, "Afu, am I incompetent?"
"Why do you say that?"
"In one move, the three of us attacked together, and we couldn't even hold on for a single round in front of Lu Bu... I feel very sad in my heart."
"Me too!"
Noriman raised his head, looking equally decadent.
"When I was young, my father was not at home, so I followed my father to practice martial arts, which can be regarded as starting from a young age.
Over the years, I have studied hard and practiced hard, and I thought I was very capable... My father also said that I have made great progress, but... Ah Fu, I have disgraced my father and have not even finished a round. Tell me, we Will it be useful if I continue to practice like this?"
Cao Peng understood immediately!
Lu Bu's blow caused these two people who had never suffered any setbacks to receive an unprecedented blow.
So much so that there was a shadow in my heart, and I actually felt a little frustrated. But I can understand it if I think about it! After practicing hard for so many years, I lost in one round. If Cao Peng hadn't been reborn, he might have been the same. Feeling depressed because of this.
Cao Peng hesitated for a moment, then put his hand on their shoulders and hooked their necks.
"Have you ever heard of the story about Emperor Gaozu and the Overlord of Western Chu?"
"Um?"
"The great ancestor killed the snake in his uprising, wiped out the violent Qin, and fought against the overlord of Western Chu.
Is the Overlord of Western Chu powerful? At first, he defeated Gaozu repeatedly, and almost lost his life several times. But later, the Overlord of Western Chu was defeated! Why? Because Gaozu refused to admit defeat, he refused to give up, and kept persisting.
In the end, although we were defeated in a hundred battles, in the end, we succeeded in one battle. We just lost for a while, so what does it matter? Marquis Wen's name for bravery is known to the world. Think about it, in terms of bravery alone
, How many people in the world can beat Lu Bu? Even Uncle Dian and Uncle Xu did not dare to pat their chests and say that they will definitely defeat him.
It doesn’t matter if we lose, let’s keep practicing!
How old are we, and how old is Lu Bu? When we reach his age, we may not lose to him... But if you give up now, become desperate, and think that you will never beat him in your life, then you have truly lost!
I was almost killed by him, but I didn't feel depressed. I felt that I gained a lot from fighting him like this, and I also have a direction in the future.
Anyway, I won’t admit defeat!
If you lower your head now, don't even think about raising your chest again in the future. That way, you will really lose the face of your uncles."
After that, Cao Peng stood up and said with a smile: "If you fail once, twice; if you fail twice, three times, four times... In this world, there is no invincible person, let alone the real number one in the world.
I am number one in the world, and I am the real tiger."
Xu Yi and Dianman slowly raised their heads.
The two looked at Cao Peng and suddenly laughed...
"Bah, how dare you claim to be the best in the world? From now on, I will be the best in the world!"
"No, it's me!"
Dianman and Xu Yi returned to their former glory, which made Cao Peng very happy.
"Okay, let's settle down first. Today's disaster is really a bit troublesome... Why don't you comfort everyone first? After all the casualties... it's better to send them back to your hometown to rest. If you don't want to stay, you can come with us this time.
go back."
"Uh... I don't want to go back."
"Second brother, it will be Gu Yue soon. After a while, it will be the New Year."
"So what?
If you don’t stay at home every day when you go back, how can you live happily outside?”
Dianman also nodded repeatedly, "The eldest brother is staying in the military camp all day now and can't see anyone; the fourth and sixth brothers, one is in Luoyang and the other has gone to Chang'an. My house is so big, but there is no one... When I go back to my hometown,
My mother will definitely nag me again, so it’s better to be comfortable in Haixi. You and Lao Wu Lao Qi are here. Let’s get together and play mahjong and have some fun...
Speaking of which, we haven’t played mahjong in a long time!”
Cao Peng began to admire Dianman.
This guy's thinking is too fast... How come in the blink of an eye, he went from being the best in the world to playing mahjong?
Xu Yi also nodded repeatedly, "Yes, we haven't fought a single match since Xu Du came out until now."
"Uh... three missing one, three missing one!"
Cao Peng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "How about we go back to Haixi and fight again?"
"Okay, let's go back to Haixi and we must give him a good game of mahjong."
Cao Peng turned around and patted his forehead gently.
