The number of words owed will be made up after the 20th.
————————————————————————
Tian Yu, named Guorang, was born in Yongnu, Yuyang, Youzhou (now Anci, Hebei). He was born in the fourth year of Jiangning, that is, 171 AD, and he was 28 years old.
In his early years, Liu Bei had defected to Gongsun Zan. Tian Yu was young at that time, so he recommended himself. History books record that he was "Liu Bei is very strange". Later, Tian Yu followed Liu Bei and went through Liu Bei's lowest stage, including Pingyuan Prime Minister, Gao Tang Ling, etc. Later Liu Bei
Tian Yu was appointed governor of Yuzhou, but Tian Yu left because his mother was old and needed to go home to support him. Liu Bei repeatedly tried to persuade him to stay, but finally he left in tears.
After returning to Youzhou, Gongsun Zan ordered Tian Yu to serve as the governor of Dongzhou.
At that time, Gongsun Zan's general Wang Men rebelled and led Yuan Shao's troops to attack with more than ten thousand troops. Everyone in Dongzhou wanted to surrender. However, Tian Yu did not agree. After he went to the city and scolded Wang Men, Wang Men retreated in shame. Gongsun Zan knew that Tian Yu had
However, due to the fact that Tian Yu came from the Yongnu family, he was always unwilling to reuse him. Until the Battle of Jieqiao and before Xia Houlan left Gongsun Zan, Tian Yu could only stay in a small county.
"So, Tian Yu is a capable person?"
Kan Ze said in surprise: "But how did he end up under the command of Lord Sikong Cao?"
"I'm not sure about this." Xiahoulan scratched his head and said with a wry smile: "Liu Bei borrowed troops from Gongsun and took two of them away.
One is my brother, and the other is Tian Guorang.
According to my brother, when Tian Guorang left, Liu Bei once held his hand and said: I wish I could achieve great things with you. Unfortunately, he has not been reused since he returned to Youzhou. So I don’t think much of him.
I know most of it through hearsay.”
Thinking about it, it seems normal.
At that time, Xia Houlan was just a young general among Gongsun Zan's white horse followers, so of course he couldn't come into contact with too many people.
Cao Peng is also very unfamiliar with the name Tian Yu, but he has heard Liu Bei call him "I wish I could accomplish great things with you", which shows that Tian Yu is not equally idle. You know, Liu Bei has a very good vision, no matter you
Whether you like him or not, you cannot deny that Liu Bei's judgment of people is even better than Zhuge Liang's. A famous example is Ma Di, who was beheaded by Zhuge Liang in tears due to the Battle of Jieting.
Liu Bei once said that Ma Di was not enough to take on the important task.
But Zhuge Liang disagreed and reused Ma Su when he finally came, which made Zhuge Liang's plan to send troops out of Qishan failed, and he had to kill him with tears in the end.
Similarly, Ma Zhong, another Shu general who made great contributions to Zhuge Liang's troops out of Qishan, was also praised by Liu Bei as "Although Huang Quan was lost, he regained Hu Du, and there are no sages in the world." This also fully shows that when looking at people,
There is a big gap between Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei on this issue.
What Cao Peng didn't know was that Tian Yu was indeed a very famous figure in history.
This man lived until the second year of Jiaping, that is, 252 AD, and became a Taizhong doctor at the age of eighty-two. He was a famous official of Cao Wei who was famous at that time.
However, this will not prevent Cao Peng from attaching great importance to Tian Yu.
"Ziyou!"
"Um?"
"In that case, you might as well have more contact with Tian Yu in the future."
"Here!"
Cao Peng knew that Tian Yu would not come to help him like Kan Ze did.
He has gone through Liu Bei, Gongsun Zan and Cao Cao, and now he is the counselor of Sikong Mansion. His position is extraordinary. It is indeed difficult for such a person to surrender to him. However, Cao Peng can get closer to him. Since
Xiahoulan and Tian Yu both served under Gongsun Zan, so they can have many common words. I believe that Tian Yu will not turn a blind eye to his good intentions.
Isn't there a saying in later generations: One more friend, one more path.
Cao Peng knew that he still had a long way to go under Mr. Cao. If he could get to know one more capable person, he would definitely be a great help in the future.
——————————————————————————
After a short rest, the team started again.
That night, Cao Peng arrived at Yingoudu Pavilion and saw a slightly dilapidated military camp from a distance. Under the setting sun, it looked a little lonely.
"Where are the troops?"
When Cao Peng and his troops were about to arrive at the barracks, more than a dozen soldiers rushed out from the forest on both sides and blocked Cao Peng's way.
"The new inspection captain Cao Peng has taken over the Duting camp in the name of Sikong. Who are you waiting for?"
Xia Houlan urged his horse over and shouted sharply.
"The new inspection captain?"
The leader was startled, then took a step forward and said: "I am the chief of Wu Sima's account in the Junyi Department. I dare to ask the new captain, but Cao Babai, the one who burned the white horse, is Cao Zhonghou?"
Such a small person actually knows himself?
Cao Peng urged him forward, "I am Cao Peng, why are you here? Are you trying to imitate bandits?"
The chief was startled and said quickly: "Captain, please don't misunderstand me. We are on duty here in the name of Wu Sima, and we do not intend to do anything like banditry."
"oh?"
Cao Peng narrowed his eyes and asked, "What's your name?"
"If I return to school as a lieutenant, my humble name will be Gao Yue, from Junyi.
Wu Sima said that although Du Pavilion is in the rear, it is not far from Yanjin and the location is very important. Therefore, he ordered us to set up two small camps in the woods on both sides and take turns to guard them. I was not notified, and the captain came.
To take over the Duting Pavilion, please ask the school captain to submit the military talisman waist badge. Only after verification can you pass."
When Gao Yue spoke, he was neither humble nor overbearing.
Cao Peng nodded slightly and turned to look at Kan Ze.
Kan Ze took out the captain's military talisman, waist badge, ultimatum and other items, stepped forward and handed it to Gao Yue.
"Please wait here, Captain. I will report to Sima."
Cao Peng didn't say anything and just nodded towards Gao Yue.
Gao Yue ran back, exchanged a few words with his men, then got on a skinny horse and galloped towards the camp.
Tian Yu suddenly said: "This Wu Ban is quite a talent."
"How can I see it?"
"The Duting camp does not have any tasks. It is like a mess. Wu Ban can still insist on setting up scouts and garrison troops. On the one hand, it shows that he is rigorous in running the army. On the other hand, this person may have seen Duting's
It’s important, so we set up checkpoints here.”
After Tian Yu said that, he closed his mouth.
But Cao Peng heard a different flavor from his words.
Tian Guorang, you underestimate me too much!
Cao Peng was a little unhappy: Wu Ban was loyal to his duties, how could I deliberately embarrass him because he set up checkpoints to intercept him?
At this moment, a group of cavalry, about twenty people, came galloping from the military camp in the distance.
The leader was a young general, about twenty years old, wearing a worn-out war robe that had lost its color, and a suit of armor. He was quite neatly dressed. He urged his horse to come to the front of the team, jumped off his horse and walked a few steps.
He said loudly: "Wu Ban, Sima of the Junyi Department, is here to greet Captain Cao.
Dare I ask, who is Captain Cao Pengcao?"
He subconsciously looked towards Xia Houlan, Gan Ning and others in the team.
Gao Yue quickly stepped forward and whispered something into Wu Ban's ear, and then pointed at Cao Peng.
Wu Ban was startled, and when he looked at Cao Peng, there was a hint of disappointment in his eyes, but it passed quickly and returned to a calm state.
"The last general, Wu Ban, pays homage to Captain Cao."
The disappointment in his eyes was noticed by Cao Peng.
Although he didn't understand why Wu Ban had such an expression, on the surface, Cao Peng still acted affectionately, dismounted and stepped forward.
"Wu Sima, well done!"
Wu Ban looked at Cao Peng in confusion, not quite understanding what Cao Peng meant.
"Although Du Pavilion is not Yanjin, Wu Sima still remained vigilant and set up checkpoints, obviously with great thought.
Cao Peng was young and it was his first visit to Duting. There were many things he didn't understand, so Wu Sima had to worry about them... However, these two small camps could only serve as checkpoints. If Yuan Jun attacked by surprise, it would be difficult to resist.
, so it needs to be further strengthened. Hao Zhao, Han De."
"The end will be here."
"You two immediately took over the checkpoint and moved ten miles east... I remember that there was a place called 'Xiaotan' ten miles east. You two set up a camp there to closely monitor the Yanjin war.
If there is anything unusual, report it to me immediately without making any mistakes."
"Here!"
Xiaotan is a water pool with a small area.
It is about twenty miles away from Zizao Daodu Pavilion and is also the only way to Daodu Pavilion.
Wu Ban's eyes flashed, and a faint smile suddenly appeared on his face. In fact, he also knew that the checkpoint he set up could only serve as a simple warning. If Yuan Jun attacked, relying on a checkpoint alone would be of no use at all. Previously.
, he had discussed with three other army commanders to move the checkpoint ten miles eastward and set up a small camp, where four soldiers and horses could take turns to be on duty.
But the other three, especially Shu Qiang, were firmly opposed.
In their view, Duting is not a battlefield and does not need to be like this at all.
If Cao Cao couldn't resist Yuan's army in Suanzao, how could Xiaoduting resist?
On the one hand, morale was low after the defeat and the morale of the army was unstable; on the other hand, several army commanders had their own agendas, and no one was willing to do such a thing.
Wu Ban had no choice but to send people to guard here.
Regardless of whether it can resist Yuan Jun, at least don't let Yuan Jun arrive, and the main camp will not be aware of it.
As soon as Cao Peng arrived, he immediately expressed his approval of his approach, mobilized troops and horses, and set up an outpost camp in Xiaotan, which made Wu Ban very happy.
Don’t underestimate these two small camps!
With these two small camps, the soldiers of the Duting camp could at least have a peaceful sleep.
It seems that Colonel Cao is a man who knows the military well and can respond quickly. At least he is not a playboy who comes here just to gain seniority.
Tian Yu said that Wu Ban is a member of the Chenliu Wu clan and is related to Mrs. Wu.
But in fact, the Chenliu Wu family has long since declined and is no longer as prosperous as it once was. Wu Ban's father, Wu Kuang, was once a subordinate of General He Jin. In the first year of Guangxi, He Jin's plan to kill Shi Chang was defeated and Wu Kuang was killed.
Because Kuang resented the general of chariots and cavalry, that is, He Jin's brother He Miao, who was not of the same mind as He Jin, and even suspected that He Miao was conspiring with the eunuchs, which was why He Jin was defeated and killed, he led his troops to attack and kill He Miao at Zhuque Tower.
He also appeared in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, joining forces with Dong Min to kill He Miao.
However, it was precisely because of this incident that Wu Kuang was impeached. In addition, he was loyal to the young emperor Liu Bian, so he turned against Dong Zhuo. After Dong Zhuo entered the capital, Wu Kuang saw that Dong Zhuo had few soldiers, so he contacted others to prepare to attack Dong Zhuo. He did not want Dong Zhuo to use
He concealed the truth and ordered his troops to leave the city at night and then enter the city during the day, causing many people to have the illusion that Dong Zhuo's troops were constantly increasing.
Seeing that no one responded, Wu Kuang was a little scared himself, so he abandoned his official position and fled back to Chenliu's hometown.
In the history books, Wu Kuang later became Zhang Fei's general.
But now, because Liu Bei failed to gain a foothold in Yuzhou and then fled with his troops, Wu Kuang instead of becoming Zhang Fei's general, instead became the Yongqiu Ling. He and Cao Cao were old acquaintances and had a close relationship.
Yes. However, Wu Kuang didn't know that there was another member of his family who became Cao ***'s adoptive grandmother. After Mrs. Wu entered the palace, she also lost contact with her family, so the Chenliu Wu family also did not
He is very aware of his relationship with Mr. Cao... There are only two Chenliu and Wu families left, and Wu Kuang is one of them.
The representative of the other branch is named Wu Yi.
In the sixth year of Zhongping, the whole family followed Liu Yan to Shu, and now he serves as the general of Yizhou Zhonglang, working for Liu Zhang.
Wu Ban was young, heroic, and chivalrous, and was a very famous young ranger in Chenliu County. After the Battle of Guandu began, Xiahou Yuan ordered the recruitment of soldiers from Xiangyong County. Wu Ban was also recruited by Xia Houyuan because of his reputation and served as the commander of Chen Liujun.
Military Sima, with considerable military exploits.
However, Wu Ban did not expect that Chen Liujun was defeated in Yanjin and the general was killed by Wen Chou.
Chen Liu's army then collapsed, and Wu Ban managed to save the Junyi tribe. After being defeated and retreating to Fengqiu, they rested and reorganized in Duting under the orders of Le Jin.
Although he did not see Cao Cao's true intention, Wu Ban also knew that Du Pavilion was quite important.
So they tried their best to stabilize the camp. Among the four divisions, only the Junyi Division still maintains the military and horse training...
Sima from the other two armies came with Wu Ban to greet Cao Peng. However, Cao Peng didn't give them a good look at all, and he didn't even bother to write down their names.
"Where's Shu Qiang?"
After sitting down in the central tent of the camp, Cao Peng looked around at everyone in the tent.
Logically speaking, when his new official takes office, all the generals must come together to welcome him... However, the only person missing from this large tent is Shu Qiang from Chenliu.
Seeing that Cao Peng's face was not very good, a military commander quickly stood up and explained, "Shu Sima led his troops on inspection today, so he is not in the camp."
"snort!"
Wu Ban suddenly snorted coldly, with a look of disdain on his face.
The military commander who spoke suddenly showed a somewhat embarrassed expression, not knowing what to do.
Cao Peng glanced at the Army Sima, then suddenly changed the subject, looked at Wu Band and said: "Wu Sima, can you tell me about the situation in this camp?"
Wu Ban hurriedly stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Come back to the school captain, there are four troops in the Duting camp, with a total of 870 people.
There are 283 troops from the Ban Headquarters stationed on the east bank of the Duting Floating Bridge... The other three troops all stay in the camp, but the Chenliu troops often go out of the camp to 'inspect', and most of the time they are stationed in the north of the camp.
Tacun. The specific situation is not clear to the general."
"Tacun?"
Cao Peng's eyes flashed.
A military Sima quickly explained, "It is not Shu Sima's own decision. He stationed in Tacun is also to echo the big camp..."
"Tacun is about sixteen miles away from here. To the west across the ditch is Yangwu."
Tian Yu suddenly spoke and explained to Cao Peng.
Cao Peng's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he roughly understood the mystery. Could that guy be leading a group of defeated troops to harass the village?
"How many people are there in Tower Village?"
"The population is not too large, there are only seventy or eighty households, but only three or four hundred people."
"Get the map."
"Here!"
Cao Peng raised his head and said, "Since I have come to Duting, I should fulfill my duties. If I have offended you in any way, please forgive me... Wu Ban, go and inform Shu Qiang that I will take office tomorrow at Mao hour."
Order troops and conduct drills with the troops in the camp. All troops and horses must arrive on time."
Wu Ban quickly stood up and responded to the order.
"From now on, the gate of the Duting camp will be closed and checkpoints will be set up.
After nightfall, if there are no personal symbols for officers and soldiers, the soldiers in the camp will stay at their own posts and not only roam around at will. If there is any violation, they will follow the army."
