Chapter 147: Discussing Heroes by the Ancestor River
In the back house of the small town of Xiapi, the young lady Ren Xiu was mending clothes under the lamp.
Diaochan is the name of a female official in the Han Dynasty.
And her real name is Ren Xiu, from Hongchang, Wuyuan, Bingzhou. Speaking of which, Ren Xiu and Lu Bu are also from the same hometown. However, Ren Xiu left home with her uncle when she was a child and went to Lintao. Later, she moved to Chang'an and returned to Lintao.
She became a female official in the Han Dynasty palace.
Okay, the name Ren Xiu sounds...
Haha, it is indeed a bit awkward.
We only need to know her name, or call her Diao Chan.
Maybe this way it will make everyone feel more friendly.
Lu Lingqi curled up on the couch and fell asleep. She looked like a kitten while sleeping.
After Diao Chan had mended a war robe, she put it aside. She raised her head and looked at Qi'er, with a faint smile on her delicate and charming face.
"Qi'er, you've been holding it in all night, please tell me."
"Madam, why are you helping that little thief?"
The little thief in Qi'er's mouth is Cao Peng.
Diao Chan smiled and said, "I just want to find someone to rely on for you."
She stood up, went to the window, tucked Lingqi's quilt, and gently brushed the hair on her face.
At this time, Diao Chan was like a kind mother. Although Lu Lingqi was not her biological child, in her eyes, she was just like her own.
"Although the prince is now in command of Xiapi, his situation is not good.
He is not a hero to begin with. Although he is very skilled in martial arts, but... he cannot be a good lord, so disaster will happen sooner or later. Don't wait to see him return in triumph, many people came to congratulate him. But I dare say that those who congratulated him
No one inside comes here sincerely."
Diao Chan sat down next to Qi'er and added, "Including Cao Peng."
"Then why are you helping him?"
"Because other people..."
Diao Chan sighed, showing a hint of sadness.
"Looking at the city of Pi, there are only a handful of people who are of the same mind as the prince. Even Chen Gongtai just wants to take advantage of the prince. Chen Hanyu is cunning and cunning, and Chen Yuanlong is versatile... These people have never accepted the prince from the beginning.
, but it’s just a snake.”
"What about the little thief?"
"You little thief... very naughty."
"Um?"
Qi'er was puzzled and looked at Diao Chan.
"But I think that kid is different from people like Chen Hanyu. Although he is under Cao Gong, he doesn't seem to be someone of his age... Qi'er, can you imagine? A grown man actually agreed.
Dressed like a woman? If it were another person, I'm afraid he would have fallen out with him long ago. But he actually agreed... The child's eyes are very clear and deep. I have a hunch that he will do something big in the future.
.I have shown you kindness today, and I only hope that he will be able to repay his kindness in the future."
Qi'er said softly: "But, he doesn't know."
"Silly girl, he knows!"
After Diao Chan said that, she picked up the needle and thread again.
Qi'er sat quietly and looked at Diao Chan's profile.
She secretly clenched her fists and said in her heart: Cao Peng, if you dare to disappoint my wife in the future, I will never let you go!
Ah sneeze!
Cao Peng rubbed his nose and restrained Zhao Yebai.
Xiapi City has been left far behind.
A bright moon was in the sky, but it looked particularly cold. Cao Peng subconsciously wrapped his robe tightly, turned his head to look behind him, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
Hao Zhao...that iron-walled general has become my subordinate!
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Hao Zhao appeared in the later stages. At that time, Zhuge Liang left Qishan with the intention of seizing Guanzhong, and then made the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains. Hao Zhao was ordered to go out to suppress Chencang, but Zhuge Liang used all kinds of means to protect Chencang and forced him to
Zhuge Liang had to give up his plan to capture Chencang... In later generations, some people called Hao Zhao General Iron Wall, which means that he defended the city like a copper wall and an iron wall.
However, Hao Zhao seemed to have only this one achievement in his life.
Since then, he has been unknown, at least in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he did not appear.
As for the first half of his life, it has become a mystery.
Nowadays, Hao Zhao's face still has a bit of youthfulness, and he doesn't look out of the ordinary.
He served in Lu Bu's army as the governor of the tribe, commanding 200 people.
Since Lu Bu started out as a border soldier, the organization of the army was somewhat different. The four-level military positions, such as Wu Commander, Chief Commander, Du Bo, and Tun Commander, were basically the same. However, there were changes from Tun to Qu.
For example, among the subordinates of Cao Cao and others, there are five villages in one song and two songs in one song.
However, for the frontier army, two villages formed a tune, which was called Buqudu, that is, a prince.
A school of the frontier army only has one or two thousand people. An army has only ten thousand people... But if it is in the Gyeonggi area, a school has almost seven or eight thousand people. Therefore, the school captain of the frontier army is just a fake school captain with far-reaching power.
There is no university in Gyeonggi Province, so naturally the salary is not very high.
But Hao Zhao was able to achieve the position of Bu Qu Governor at the age of seventeen, which shows that he is not simple.
Previously, Hao Zhao worked under Zhang Liao and was originally a reserve army. Since there are always 800 people in the trapped camp, if there are casualties before the battle, they must be replaced as soon as possible. And this supplementary manpower is drawn from Zhang Liao... So, it counts.
The last elite team.
Zhang Liao was initially reluctant because it was difficult to train an elite soldier.
But his impression of Cao Peng was not bad, and he also knew that Haixi was indeed very complicated.
It was a good thing that the Cao Peng brothers could establish themselves in Haixi. So after much thought, Zhang Liao finally agreed.
Hao Zhao, I can't tell whether he is happy or unhappy.
But overall, I guess he won't be particularly happy...
Thinking that if he works under Zhang Liao, he might become a member of the trapped camp in the future.
Now, he has been transferred to a remote place like Haixi. I am afraid that if it were Cao Peng, he would feel a little awkward.
However, he would not let Hao Zhao go.
Just like what Uncle Li said in "A World Without Thieves": What is most important these days? Talent!
There is no doubt that Hao Zhao is a talent.
Everyone who has played Heroes of the Three Kingdoms knows that the greatest fun of the Three Kingdoms game is to collect famous generals and counselors. But the problem is that Cao Peng was reborn too late! During the Jian'an period, the world pattern has basically emerged, and many famous ministers and generals
All famous beauties have their owners. And Cao Peng's background limited his ability to collect outstanding people unscrupulously... Therefore, when Cao Peng met so many outstanding people, he rarely thought about recruiting them. As for Pan Zhang...
...That was definitely an accident, purely due to being fooled by Cao Peng.
Those who are too old cannot be recruited.
Those who are too famous cannot be recruited.
He's from a good background and can't be recruited...
If you eliminate them in this way, there will be very few people who can be recruited by Cao Peng.
The person Cao Peng was looking forward to the most before was his nephew, who he didn't even know was real or fake.
Moreover, Deng Ai was just born and has not yet reached the age of one. When he grows up... Oh my God, even Cao Peng himself is not sure whether he can survive until that time. Unexpectedly, planting trees without intention will not survive.
Planting willows and willows make shade. After a trip to Xiapi, I actually found a calf. What made Cao Peng most happy was that the conditions of this calf were in line with his recruitment requirements.
Not old, but not young either; completely unknown, from a grassroots background...
If this calf is let go, it will be like thunder.
Therefore, Cao Peng was thinking along the way, how to get closer to Hao Zhao?
Cao Peng couldn't do anything like a tiger's body shaking.
That……
Oh, let’s keep fooling around!
That night, everyone slept in the open beside the Ancestor River.
Hao Zhao didn't wait for Cao Peng's instructions and arranged a warning.
Cao Peng and Dianman sat together and talked in low voices. They talked about what they had gained from their visit to Xiapi and the power of Lu Bu, the tiger tiger.
Inadvertently, Cao Peng found Hao Zhao sitting down not far away.
Turning his eyes, he suddenly asked: "Third brother, in terms of bravery, Marquis Wen is indeed unparalleled in the world. Whether you admit it or not, it is a fact. However, when it comes to marching and formation,
With both civil and military skills, under Marquis Wen, I would recommend Zhang Wenyuan first."
Hao Zhao seemed a little curious.
"Zhang Liao?"
Dianman thought for a while, "I seem to have heard someone say that my lord once said that among the eight capable generals under Marquis Wen, Zhang Wenyuan can stand alone."
"Yes, it's a pity that I was born at the wrong time."
"how do I say this?"
"General Wenyuan was born too late...if he had been born four hundred years earlier, he might have been able to establish a career as great as Huo Qiaoqi's."
Xu Yi heard this and was immediately dissatisfied.
"Afu, you are exaggerating.
Zhang Wenyuan may be really capable, but I'm afraid he can't compete with Huo Qiaoqi."
"Why can't we compare?"
"What is Huo Qiaoqi's background? Who is Zhang Liao's background?"
"Hey, you can't say that." Cao Peng waved his hand and said: "If you judge a hero by his birth, then General Wei Qing was a riding slave in the eldest princess's family in his early years. Even Gaozu was just the pavilion chief of Pei County, but
But he was able to defeat the overlord of Western Chu after the famous Chu general Xiang Yan. The word "birth" is given to us by God... Maybe it's not fair! Whether you can make a career or not, it depends on you. If you follow your
It is said that when Emperor Gaozu saw the overlord of Western Chu, he did not need to fight, he just surrendered..."
After all, Xu Yi came from a wealthy family, and the concept of family status was more important than that of Dian Man.
However, hearing what Cao Peng said, it seems that it is not unreasonable.
"Bo Dao, what do you think?"
"ah?"
Hao Zhao did not expect that Cao Peng would suddenly ask him.
After hesitating for a moment, he smiled and said, "General, I feel that what the young master said is absolutely true."
"exactly……"
Cao Peng chuckled and said: "I think back then, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were just two mud-legged people, but they could speak such lofty words as emperors and generals. Now, we eat your salary and share your worries. This is exactly
When establishing achievements. As we sit here now, how do we know that in ten, twenty, or thirty years, we will not be able to establish achievements like Huo Qiaoqi's? But I don't believe it."
After he finished speaking, he asked again: "Bo Dao, what are your ambitions?"
"ambition?"
As soon as Hao Zhao hesitated, Cao Peng turned his head and looked at Xu Yi and Dianman.
"Me?" Norimitsu thought for a while, "What I hope most in this life is to defeat my father, charge into battle for the Lord, and make great achievements."
"What about you?" Cao Peng looked at Xu Yi.
Xu Yi thought for a while, "I... most hope that I can protect and strengthen the family, and one day make the Xu family a famous family for a century or a thousand years."
The two people have different backgrounds, so their ambitions are completely different.
Dianman, more from the individual.
Xu Yi, on the other hand, focuses more on family.
After the two of them finished speaking, they looked towards Cao Peng.
"Afu, what is your ambition?"
"I?"
This time, Cao Peng was really confused.
Since his rebirth, he has always wanted to hold someone in his lap to keep his family safe.
Speaking more broadly, as a yamen, although you don’t bully men and dominate women, you can still show off...
It's just that his character is really not suitable for being a playboy. Many times, he just thinks about it and treats it more as a joke.
Now, Dianman and Xu Yi asked him, leaving Cao Peng not sure how to answer.
Sitting next to the campfire, Cao Peng's face was reflected in the light of the fire, and he was silent.
Hao Zhao also looked at Cao Peng curiously, as if waiting for his answer. After a long time, Cao Peng raised his head and smiled slightly.
There was a hint of solemnity in this smile.
Under the light of the fire, it actually looked a little sacred.
"Afu, why don't you speak?"
"I have a dream..." Cao Peng suddenly stood up and shouted loudly: "I am willing to establish my mind for the heaven and the earth, I am willing to establish my destiny for the living people, I am willing to inherit the unique knowledge of the past saints, and I am willing to create peace for all generations!"
Rumble, thunder came from the night sky.
It seems to be telling Cao Peng: You are pretending to be awesome!
But Cao Peng still didn't realize it. He stood up suddenly and said loudly: "Anyone who openly offends our strong men will be punished no matter how far away!"
More than 200 years ago, the famous Western Han Dynasty general Chen Tanggan Yanshou issued a cry in Shangshu, which became the backbone of the Han people for two thousand years.
Click, a flash of lightning flashed across the night sky.
It seemed to be a warning to Cao Peng.
If you keep showing off, I'll kill you!
However, although the lightning was frightening, it could not conceal the soaring heroic spirit in Cao Peng's heart.
Hao Zhao's face changed, revealing a look of admiration.
Dianman and Xu Yi were silent, looking at Cao Peng with respect on their faces.
Regardless of whether Cao Peng was speaking from his heart or trying to show off, his bold words really made Dianman Xu Yi feel ashamed...
In comparison, the ambitions of the two of them were simply insignificant.
Ah Fu, really extraordinary!
Hua la la...a heavy rain fell.
People in the camp immediately ran and shouted and got into the tent.
Cao Peng exhaled a strong breath and strode away, leaving only three teenagers sitting there blankly, looking at Dong Yu as if they were unaware of it.
It rained heavily all night and finally stopped at dawn the next day.
However, the sky did not clear up, and it began to snow lightly. This was also the first snow since the beginning of winter in Xuzhou...
No one talked about what happened last night, but Hao Zhao's attitude obviously changed and he was somewhat respectful.
The group of people, wearing stars and moonlight, braved the falling first snow and continued on the road.
In November of the second year of Jian'an, Cao Cao launched another war shortly after he defeated Yuan Shu and returned home in triumph.
This time, his opponent is still Zhang Xiu from Wancheng.
The failure of the first expedition to Wancheng made Cao Cao choke and couldn't vomit. If Zhang Xiu is not eliminated, Wancheng will be uncertain. After all, it will be a personal problem!
