Looking at Jia Xu's smiling face, what Cao Peng wished most was to rush up and give him a good punch, turning Jia Xu into Jia Zhutou.
If you don't work under Jia Xu, you don't know how sinister this guy is.
Cao Peng wrote an inspection document countless times, and Jia Xu was so tormented that he almost went crazy.
The originally neat copywriting was messed up by one stroke on the left and one stroke on the right, and then asked Cao Peng to take it back and copy it again.
Cao Peng looked at it for a long time and couldn't figure out what the problem was.
So I went back and copied it again and sent it over, but this guy started to find faults again. One fault on the left, another on the right... Damn, why didn't you make it clear last time? Well, I endured it and went back to copy it again and revise it.
But Jia Zhutou was still dissatisfied and thought that the above data needed to be proofread, so he asked Cao Peng to go back and proofread it again. The fifth battalion military affairs was a thick pile. Cao Peng was so tired that he finished proofreading like his grandson and found no problems.
, so he came back to report it. Jia Xu disagreed and insisted that the above data were incorrect. Cao Peng was forced to recalculate the data in front of him, leaving Jia Xu speechless.
Cao Peng finally figured out that Jia Xu was a coward.
Didn’t I just destroy your plan to keep a low profile, so why are you trying to punish me again and again?
Thanks to my admiration for you in my previous life, I didn’t expect... I have decided! Don’t give me a chance, otherwise I will definitely come back with revenge...
Now, this guy is causing trouble again.
Cao Peng's face suddenly darkened, "My humble position is not to join the Sikong Army, but to wait in the pavilion. I am sure to win."
He raised his face and looked at Jia Xu.
Jia Xu coughed lightly and said, "That... the fifth battalion inspection, let's put it aside for now.
However, if Puyang falls, the lord will definitely take action. Before that, Youxue must sort out the roster of the Northern Army and be ready for deployment at any time."
Organize your sister!
Cao Peng took a deep breath, stood up and said, "I humbly obey my orders."
Now, I don’t want to stay here any longer...
Cao Peng found that he and Jia Xu were incompatible with each other. From the moment they met, the two of them had never been harmonious.
"This guy is really not cute."
Behind him, Jia Xu's mutterings came, which made Cao Peng so angry that he wanted to turn around and rush over, grab Jia Xu and beat him up to relieve the hatred in his heart.
Your cute sister...
Cao Peng cursed secretly and walked out of the government hall.
Zhijinwu's Yamen is not too big, and there are not many subordinate officials.
Speaking of which, there are only two real subordinate officers, one is the Arsenal Commander, and the other is the Lieutenant Commander of the Northern Army.
And Cao Ji, the commander of the arsenal, is still in Qiao County. Furthermore, even if Cao Ji comes back, he will not be able to work in Zhijinwu Yamen.
He also has another position, that of Civil Cao Captain, so most of the time, he stays in Sikong Mansion to work.
In other words, Cao Peng was the only official in the imperial court who was really under the jurisdiction of Jia Xu. This also made Cao Peng miserable, and he hated Jia Xu deeply. He felt that this guy was clearly trying to fill his own shoes. But the official
The big one crushed people to death, but Cao Peng was helpless.
Haven't the rosters of the five schools of the Northern Army been sorted out long ago?
After walking out of Zhijinwu Yamen, Cao Peng scratched his head and got on his horse to go home.
But halfway through, I heard the rapid sound of horse hooves behind me, and someone shouted loudly: "Marquis Cao Zhong, stay here, Marquis Cao Zhong, stay here."
Looking back, I saw Jia Xing stepping forward.
Damn it, it’s not over?
Cao Peng didn't dare to be angry with Jia Xu, but it didn't mean that he didn't dare to be angry with Jia Xing.
He reined in his horse and stopped in the middle of the road. He glared at Jia Xing and said, "Jia Tuizhi, are you waiting for your lord in the pavilion? Did you think of something again?"
"This...hehe!"
Jia Xing was a little at a loss.
Calling him by his last name and first name showed that Cao Peng was very angry at this moment.
But there is no way, because Jia Xu has been a bit cruel in tormenting Cao Peng recently. I guess he would not be happy either.
Jia Xing sympathized with Cao Peng.
"Cao Zhonghou, Cao Sikong just sent people to the Yatang and ordered the five schools of the Northern Army to prepare their troops for orders.
Duting is waiting for orders from Cao Zhonghou to immediately lead his troops to gather at the military camp outside the city and order troops at the right time. Don’t be late...well, we may have to go on an expedition."
"Even the five schools of the Northern Army are going to go on an expedition?"
Cao Peng couldn't help but be startled when he heard this.
The duty of Zhi Jinwu is to oversee the imperial army and protect the capital.
The five subordinate schools of the Northern Army are mainly responsible for protecting the security of the capital... However, as early as the Western Han Dynasty, Zhi Jinwu also had a precedent of leading troops on expeditions.
During the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty led an army to conquer the Po Qiang people.
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor He of the Han Dynasty, Geng Bing, who was in charge of the Jin Dynasty, also served as the deputy of the general Dou Xian, and conquered the Northern Xiongnu, entering 800 miles north of the desert.
However, since Emperor Ling, it has become a routine for the Northern Army not to leave the capital.
Now he is suddenly preparing to go on an expedition, which shows that Cao Cao has also realized that the situation is not good, and even the troops from the capital are going to go out, which shows that the situation is corrupt.
Jia Xing said softly: "Cao Zhonghou, actually my adoptive father... doesn't have any ill intentions.
It's just that he has such a personality, and sometimes he may have gone too far, so please forgive me. Privately, my adoptive father is full of praise for Zhonghou."
"Well……"
As the saying goes, don't hit the smiling person. Since Jia Xing lowered his attitude, Cao Peng couldn't get angry again.
He handed over his hand and said, "I will go back to my hometown to prepare, and then report to the military camp."
After that, he turned the horse's head, whipped it and left. Jia Xing was left alone on the street, looking at his back with a wry smile...
————————————————————————
"Afu, are you going on an expedition?"
"Um!"
After returning to the mansion, Cao Peng immediately ordered people to order Fei Qi to be ordered. At the same time, he ordered people to notify Hao Zhao and have Hei Qi prepare his troops and wait outside the city.
Xia Houlan and Gan Ning both went with him on the expedition, and Kan Ze went with him to serve as Cao Peng's chief secretary. Li Ru couldn't make a public appearance, so he stayed in the mansion.
However, Li Ru still reminded Cao Peng, "Yuan Shao is coming with great force, and the young master must not act rashly.
I estimate that Cao Cao must first take Puyang to stabilize the situation in the east, and then solve the problem of Baima. However, this is quite dangerous. If one is not careful, there will be disaster. Young master, I need to be more careful... I
There is a plan, maybe we can make the young master return safe and sound."
"What's your plan, sir?"
"Stare at Jia Wenhe."
"ah?"
"Jia Wenhe is not a guy who easily suffers losses. He is very thoughtful and has no plans left. You just need to keep an eye on him and do whatever he says. You must not make your own decisions. In my opinion, Jia Wenhe
With Wen He here, Cao Mengde may not be in trouble."
It can be seen that Li Ru still values Jia Xu very much.
This strategy may seem mundane to many people.
But in fact, it gave Cao Peng a direction...if he followed Jia Xu, he wouldn't suffer any loss!
Then even if I suffer a loss, I will drag Jia Xu into the water with me...
Mrs. Zhang was in tears, and Huang Yueying was even more anxious.
Bu Luan and Guo Huangeng dressed up Cao Peng's armor while secretly wiping their tears.
Although this is not the first time that Cao Peng has left home, it is the first time that Cao Peng has gone on an expedition in a real sense. Although the recruitment in Jiyang was dangerous, it was not as dangerous as this one. Zhang and others were at home, but they also knew
This situation is not appropriate. The entire Xudu seems to be shrouded in a cloud of sadness, which makes Zhang, Huang Yueying and others even more uneasy... Therefore, everyone warned them one after another.
"Aniang, Yueying, don't worry."
Cao Peng got a three-pronged golden crown from Buluan and put it on his head.
Then Guo Huan tightened the golden crown for him, took a lion jade belt from the side, and silently tied it around his waist for Cao Peng.
Cao Peng said with a smile: "This is not the first time that the child has gone on an expedition, so why worry? Previously, the child was in Xiapi, but he had a fight with the tiger."
"But, I heard it said outside..."
"Mommy, don't listen to the rumors of those stupid men and women.
Duke Cao is the pillar of the Han Dynasty and is blessed by heaven. How can he be compared to Yuan Shao who relied on the shadow of his ancestors to achieve success? Don't worry, the child will return safely. By then, he may be able to build a career and even catch up with his father and his father.
Where are the brothers-in-law and the others?"
"I don't want you to make any achievements, I just want my son to come back safely."
Cao Peng put on his armor, turned around, suddenly opened his arms and hugged Ms. Zhang hard.
He said in Zhang's ear: "Mom, don't worry, the child will come back safely."
"Um!"
Before Zhang could speak, tears were shed.
She took a sachet from Huang Yueying's hand and tied it on the belt around Cao Peng's waist.
"This is the peace charm that mother, Yueying, and your sister asked for. You must be careful when wearing it."
Cao Peng nodded vigorously, turned around and looked at Huang Yueying who was in tears, walked up and held Huang Yueying in his arms.
"Take good care of grandma."
"Um!"
"Whether your father agrees or not, we will get married when I come back."
"ah?"
Huang Yueying's eyes widened, and a blush suddenly appeared on her face. She looked at Cao Peng, and after a while, she gently lowered her head and said, "Then you must come back early."
Cao Peng let go of Huang Yueying, hugged Buluan and Guo Huan again, and turned around to come to Cao Nan.
"Sister, when my brother-in-law comes back this time, I estimate that he will probably be stationed at the grain road.
If that's the case, I suggest my brother-in-law choose a writer to work with. The two of them have worked together in Nine Girls City, so I think they will be a good fit."
Cao Nan nodded in agreement with tears in his eyes.
Cao Peng stretched out his hand, pinched Deng Ai's cheek, and then walked out of the flower hall quickly.
Zhang and others escorted him to the door of the house, but Cao Peng stopped him and said, "Auntie, don't send him off. It's just a small fight. Don't be nervous. Don't come out. It's like it's serious. Are you interested?
Ba, Ziyou, and Brother Kan are here, how can anything happen to me?"
"Then...you must be careful."
Cao Peng laughed, turned around and walked out of the house.
Feijian guards Li Xian and Daya, one holding the horse and the other carrying the painting pole and halberd, were waiting at the door.
Cao Peng glanced at the eighty Fei Qi outside the door, nodded with Gan Ning and others, then turned over and sat on Zhao Yebai's back, taking the painting pole and halberd from Daya.
"Get on your horse and set off."
Following his command, Fei Qi got on his horse.
Cao Peng glanced at Zhang and others inside the palace gate, smiled slightly, and galloped away.
Gan Ning and others bowed their hands towards Zhang and followed Cao Peng.
Inside the gate of the mansion, Mrs. Zhang burst into tears, and she looked like a tearful person!
————————————————————————
Although Cao Peng said it was easy, in his heart, it was not easy at all.
The Battle of Guandu seems to have deviated from the track of history and developed in an unknown direction. If Puyang cannot be recaptured, a second turmoil is likely to break out in Yanzhou. At this time, if Yanzhou is in chaos, the whole of Henan will inevitably be
Confusion arises…
By then, the game of chess that Cao Cao had already planned will be completely disrupted.
Zang Ba in Qingzhou cannot be relied on, and it is difficult to rely on the ban alone. Therefore, if Cao Cao wants to bring this chess game back to his control, he must recapture Puyang... However, to recapture Puyang,
How easy is it? Yuan Shao will never let Puyang go easily.
When the time comes, a fierce battle will begin!
Cao Peng couldn't help but feel uneasy when he thought of this.
In the past, he was always full of confidence, and when he did things, he was like God's help, and everything went smoothly. That was because he knew the trajectory of historical development, so he had a feeling that everything was in his hands. But now, the situation seems to be
If it gets out of control, if the development of history deviates from its trajectory, what will be the consequences? Cao Peng can't say clearly... at least, he feels very uneasy now.
Can Cao Cao still win the Battle of Guandu?
If Cao Cao lost the battle of Guandu, the situation of the entire Three Kingdoms might have changed.
Previously, he vowed that he hoped to change history; but when history changed, even if it was just a slight deviation, it made Cao Peng feel frightened. He still can't tell clearly now, is it better to change history? Or follow history?
?
Along the way, Cao Peng was very silent.
Outside the city, Fei Qi met up with Hao Zhao's black Qi and headed for the camp.
Hao Zhao only brought 200 black men with him, leaving 100 people behind to wait for Deng Ji to return and let Deng Ji make arrangements.
If, just if... Once Puyang cannot be recaptured and the situation becomes bad, these hundred black spirits can at least protect Cao Peng and his family and take refuge in Jiangxia. The Huang family in Jiangxia is quite powerful. As long as Huang Chengyan is willing to take over
, Cao Peng and his family will not have any difficulties.
Of course, this is also the worst plan.
"Young Master, do you think this battle can be won?"
Kan Ze suddenly urged his horse, rode alongside Cao Peng, and asked softly.
"Win, of course you can win."
"Haha, if that's the case, why should the young master be nervous?"
"Ah?" Cao Peng was stunned for a moment, reined in his horse, turned around and asked, "Brother, do I look nervous?"
Kan Ze smiled and said, "Everyone can see it."
"real?"
Cao Peng turned around and said to Gan Ning, Hao Zhao and Xia Houlan: "I look very nervous?"
Gan and Ning nodded in unison, like chickens pecking at rice.
Cao Peng scratched his head and couldn't help but laugh, "Okay, I admit, I'm a little nervous."
"Why should the young master be nervous? Xing Ba has been entrusted by the young lady. Even if he dies in battle, he will protect the young master... Why should Yuan Shao care about him?"
"Yes, I still like to see the young master smiling." Xia Houlan couldn't help but said.
Hao Zhao said solemnly: "Young Master once spoke eloquently when we were on the banks of the Zushui River. Today, these lofty words are still ringing in our ears! Young Master has not accomplished any major things, and we still hope to make use of Young Master's influence to make achievements. In my opinion, Yuan Benchu will definitely
No match for Duke Cao..."
Yes, if the sky falls and there is someone tall to hold it up, why should I be nervous?
Cao Peng laughed and said: "I was a little nervous at first, but I have you, I am afraid that he will make a fool of himself... Let's go and make a contribution!"
