Chapter 515 The Father Is Precious With The Son (1/2)
Chapter 515 Father is more valuable than son (1/2)
Its daybreak!
When the convoy set off again, the number of personnel increased by 302.
Cao Peng did not show any pretense, and directly threw Cao Zhangniugang into Zhang He's queue, and staged a drama of a ferry battle in the early morning. Zhang He was in charge of defense, Cao Zhangniugang assisted, and Pang De had to protect the convoy's safe crossing.
Crossing the Huangshui River. This undoubtedly increased the difficulty for Pound, and it was also a severe test for the white camel soldiers.
Zhang He mainly used infantry troops, and in previous drills, his mobility was obviously insufficient.
However, after adding Cao Zhang's 300 cavalry, the strength was immediately enhanced... The exercise lasted from early morning to noon, and finally ended with Pang De's failure. This was also the first tragic defeat of the White Camel Soldiers since their departure from Wuwei.
Everyone in the carriage listened to Cao Peng's comments and reviewed each other's shortcomings. They all felt that they had gained a lot.
Cao Peng didn't comment too much. After all, he didn't have a military background. He could do it occasionally. If he was asked to comment professionally, he wouldn't be able to do it. So, most of the time, he would listen! Listen to everyone quietly.
The discussion was also a huge gain for him. That night, he arrived at Yunwu County. Cheng Gongying was ten miles out of the city and waiting by the roadside!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++++++++
After Yunwu rested for a day, Cao Peng set off again.
But this time, his mood seemed a little heavier compared to when he came out of Wuwei.
Cheng Gongying told him that he had just received news that the candidate for the new Liangzhou governor had been decided. However, he had not yet been notified who would take the post. However, he heard that the new Liangzhou governor had already left Xudu.
The Japanese will arrive in Longxi. Cheng Gongying also has some speculations about the identity of this mysterious Liangzhou governor.
Cao Peng was equally puzzled!
The candidate to be the governor of Liangzhou has yet to be decided.
Even Zhang He, the envoy from Xudu, didn't know the final candidate.
It is said that the candidate with the highest reputation at the beginning was Xia Houyuan, Xia Houzhen's uncle. But for some unknown reason, Xia Houyuan later became Henan Yin, and he naturally faded out of people's sight. From the bottom of his heart, Cao Peng did not want Xia Houyuan to take over.
Palm Liangzhou. The reason is very simple. Although he and Xia Houyuan are quite related, not only is Xia Houyuan's uncle, he also gave horses to Cao Peng in his early years, which should be considered good. Moreover, Xia Houyuan is a man of real talent and learning, and has served as a local governor.
As an official, he has also served in the military, with outstanding military exploits and a reputation far and wide, so it seems appropriate.
At least, those arrogant and powerful men in Liangzhou will not confront Xia Houyuan head-on.
But the problem is that Xia Houyuan has a proud and strong temper.
He is talented, but is he willing to be a puppet?
Did Xia Houyuan willingly turn a blind eye to the mark Cao Peng left on Liangzhou?
In Cao Peng's opinion, Xia Houyuan wouldn't!
He will try to erase Cao Peng's mark, even if they are related. The reason is very simple. How can a person with a proud temperament like Xia Houyuan be willing to live in the shadow of Cao Peng? This has nothing to do with contradiction, but a matter of face and appearance.
Self-esteem. Once Xia Houyuan wants to erase Cao Peng's mark, Cao Peng's plan for Liangzhou will inevitably be affected. This is by no means the result Cao Peng wants to see, and Cao Cao must also be able to see the clues.
Therefore, Xia Houyuan went out to control Henan Yin.
If it’s not Xia Houyuan, then who is it?
Cao Peng kept thinking about this question along the way, but could not find an answer for a long time.
Unknowingly, the carriages and horses had left Jincheng County and entered the jurisdiction of Longxi County. Although it was spring, Longxi County was still in a dilapidated state. The marks left after the war could not be eliminated in just two or three months. Zhao Ang
Even if you have extraordinary talents, it seems impossible to restore the vitality of Longxi County all at once. Most of the fertile fields in the past are deserted. Walking for hundreds of miles, there is no human habitation... Debris will appear on the roadside from time to time, which makes it even more desolate and desolate.
cold.
On the other hand, the green wild grasses in the wilderness are green and full of vitality.
Cao Peng got out of the car and stood by the roadside, looking at the desolate wilderness and couldn't help but sigh...
“The peaks and ridges are like clusters, and the waves are like angry waves.
Guanzhong Road, Shanhe Biaoli.
Looking at the Western Capital, I feel hesitant and sad. In the Qin Dynasty, wherever I went, all the palaces and palaces were turned into dirt.
When it prospers, the people suffer; when it dies, the people suffer."
This song of mountain sheep perfectly depicts the current scene of Longxi.
As the place where the Qin Dynasty rose to power, it is now in ruins and decay. Thinking back to those days, it was said, 'Whoever wins Guanzhong will win the world.' I am afraid that the person who said this would not agree with the current scene. Cao Peng stood with his hands behind his back.
, letting the wind roll his clothes fluttering. He sighed, but Cao Zhang behind him felt something in his heart, and nodded secretly...
At this moment, the melancholy music came from the motorcade.
The tune was played with eighteen beats of Hujia, followed by a moving singing voice. It was the song "Sheep on the Hillside" that Cao Peng had just composed.
The song is sad and the melody is miserable, making people shed tears.
The Eighteen Beats of Hujia were compiled by Cai Yan over a year after returning from Shuofang. She adopted the sound of Hujia outside the Great Wall, combined it with the sound of horizontal blowing in the army, and played it on the guqin, forming a unique
Music style.
The fusion of Hillside Sheep and Hujia Shibapai complements each other perfectly.
It's just that when singing, the pause in the middle for breathing requires extremely high skills. If he hadn't known that Cai Yan was not there, Cao Peng would have thought that it was Cai Wenji who sang it. But listening to the voice, he could still tell that it was Luo Shenzhen.
Mi's singing.
"Xiao Mi, stop singing!"
He couldn't help but interrupt, but Zhang He and others rolled their eyes.
Zhen Mi's singing voice is very beautiful, but it is not something that ordinary people can hear.
In addition, she was so beautiful and graceful that even Zhang He secretly envied Cao Peng's love fortune. Now it was hard to hear Zhen Mi singing. Although the tune was sad, it was still a kind of enjoyment. Unexpectedly, Cao Peng interrupted her.
"Husband, could it be that Xiao Mi doesn't sing well?"
The car curtain opened, revealing Zhen Mi's charming face, with a look of doubt.
Cao Peng laughed heartily, "It's not bad, it's just inappropriate... When I was a mountain goat, I just saw the withering before my eyes and felt something in my heart. But your scene is a bit more miserable. Let the sergeants,
How can I cheer up?"
Zhen Mi peeked outside and saw the soldiers, each with a sad look on their face.
"It's better to sing less if you have such a decadent voice.
However, it is indeed unusual for Xiao Mi to be able to send out tunes and turn them into songs so quickly.
In my opinion, I am afraid that only Sister Cai can beat you... In this way, I will test you. Just now I saw the wild grass growing in the wilderness, and suddenly I had an idea and wrote a poem. Xiao Mi might as well try to compose a song, how about it? "
Zhen Mi is also a talented woman.
Perhaps, she is not as evil as Cai Yan, who can memorize more than 500 books. But her talent cannot be denied... In history, Cao Zhi wrote "Luo Shen Fu", and it can be seen from the words he used, in addition to lamenting Zhen
In addition to her beauty, Mi admired her grace even more. Charm is not something that can be obtained casually. It requires a special environment to nurture her.
For example, in the later generations of Jin Daxia's divine sculptures, Xiao Longnu's otherworldliness comes from the fact that she lives deep in the ancient tomb and does not care about worldly affairs.
However, Huang Rong's eccentric spirit must be influenced by a person like Huang Yaoshi.
Zhen Mi's grace lies not only in her beauty, but also in her unique temperament born of her talent.
Although Cao Peng married Zhen Mi, he didn't know much about her.
With nothing to do at this time, he suddenly felt like joking.
I remember that at the beginning, Cao Youxue was blushing because he plagiarized a poem. But now, he has been able to remain calm and speak freely.
Although Zhang He was a martial artist, he also read poetry and books.
Pound was famous for his bravery in history, but he never gave up his knowledge.
As for Cao Zhang, this is even more true.
Forced by Cao Peng, he could recite the Three-Character Classic, the Thousand-Character Prose, and poems by heart.
On the carriage next door, the curtain was raised.
Then he saw a beautiful young woman sticking her head out.
In her arms, sat a little boy carved in pink and jade, about three years old. He stared at him curiously with his big black eyes.
The woman is Jiang Ji's wife, and the child is Jiang Ji's son, named Jiang Wei.
Cao Peng still hasn't figured out whether this Jiang Wei is the Jiang Bingdao in history. However, this little guy doesn't care about life. He likes to hang around Cao Peng even if he has nothing to do. In the spirit of "I would rather kill him by mistake than kill him by mistake".
The principle of letting things go. When Cao Peng returned to Xudu this time, Jiang Jiu also wanted to follow him. He simply asked Jiang Jiu to take his wife and children with him...
In terms of status, Jiang Ji is Cao Peng's retainer.
So it was not a big deal if he brought his wife and children there.
Cao Peng thought for a moment, then suddenly chanted: "When you are away from the original grass, it grows wither every year.
The wildfires will not burn out, but the spring breeze will blow again... The distant fragrance invades the ancient road, and the clear green meets the desolate city. It will also face the emperor, and the leaves are full of farewell love."
This is a decent poem similar to a poem about things.
According to the regulations of the imperial examination, the word "Fu" must be added before any designated test question or question.
According to legend, Bai Juyi came from Jiangnan to Chang'an at the age of sixteen and brought this poem to meet Gu Kuang, a famous scholar at that time. Unexpectedly, after Gu Kuang saw Bai Juyi's name, he jokingly said: Rice is expensive in Chang'an, and it is not easy to live there. But when he saw
At the time when "the wildfires are not burning out, but the spring breeze is blowing and rekindling", I can't help but praise the case and say: "If you are so talented, how can it be difficult to live here?"
It can be said that this poem is one of Bai Juyi's masterpieces.
The first sentence, "Li Li, there is grass on the original plain, but it is consistent with the ancient plain wild grass in front of me." The overlapping word "Li Li" describes the lush spring grass, and captures the current season. The second sentence, "One month, one year, one dry," writes the ancient plain wild grass.
The glory of spring, the cycle of life and death, the law of endless life. Wild fires are endless, and the spring breeze blows again and again. Isn't this the portrayal of Longxi County today?
Cao Peng is about to leave Liangzhou and return to Xudu.
Facing this place where he once fought, he was filled with a feeling of parting...
Not only does it fit the occasion, but it also contains profound meaning.
Zhen Mi couldn't help but her eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but exclaimed, "What a poem!"
She gently brushed the strings with her slender, mutton-fat white jade fingers. After a while, the piano sounded melodious. She opened her sandalwood mouth lightly and sang leisurely. The singing was so refreshing and joyful. Cao Zhang couldn't help lapping his hands and praising her.
Applause.
The previous dull atmosphere also disappeared.
Not many people know about Cao Peng's poetic talent.
For example, Buluan and Guo Huan once saw Cao Peng write a poem in seven steps by the Donglingting River.
It was only later that Cao Peng became famous with the inscription on the humble room and the theory of Ailian, and wrote three Mongolian essays, which covered up his "talent and learning" in poetry. Therefore, except for a few people, most people don't know much about it. Zhen Mi has heard about Cao Peng for a long time
Although Cao Peng had great talent and learning, it was rare to see him show it. No wonder, since Cao Peng arrived in Liangzhou, he was busy with government affairs and fighting constantly, so how could he be in the mood to plagiarize?
Now that Xu Du will be returned, he feels much more relaxed...
Traveling long distances is inevitably boring.
Occasionally plagiarizing two poems can change your life.
When everyone hit the road again, they felt much happier and no longer monotonous as before!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++
Just like that, stop and go all the way.
Unknowingly, we passed Didao.
When passing Didao, Zhao Ang led his troops to greet him.
Cao Peng did not stop at Didao, but left directly.
Respectively, Zhao Ang reminded: "Sir, it is said that the new governor of Liangzhou has arrived in Lintao."
"who is it?"
"Don't know yet.
However, Yuan Zhi has already rushed to Lintao to greet him, and I should have gone as well, but since the spring plowing has begun and things are busy, I asked Yuan Zhi to go."
The implication is: I will not meet with the governor of Liangzhou easily without your permission.
Zhao Ang did not follow Cao Peng for a long time, but he saw with his own eyes the policies Cao Peng implemented in Wuwei and Hexi, and he agreed very much.
He was also worried that the new governor of Liangzhou would overturn Cao Peng's previous efforts.
Therefore, he decided to stand on Cao Peng's side and asked Cao Peng's opinion before making a decision...
Cao Peng was secretly happy. He thought for a moment and said, "Weizhang is busy with official duties, so it is understandable. But after all, the governor of Liangzhou is appointed by the imperial court. Weizhang is sensible and reasonable. No matter how busy he is, he should go and visit him."
, otherwise it will be disrespectful."
I'm very happy that you respect me.
However, you should still go take a look, even just to get some rumors.
If this is true, it would be unsightly...
Zhao Ang understood this and bowed his head and said: "If it hadn't been for Young Master's reminder, Wei Zhang would have almost made a big mistake. To deal with the matter at hand, Wei Zhang will go to Lintao immediately."
"So, very good!"
At that moment, Cao Peng no longer lingered. Under the escort of Zhang He and others, he crossed the Tao River and headed straight for Lintao.
Along the way, he was thinking about the identity of the governor of Liangzhou.
On the third day, the convoy entered Lintao's rule.
Cao Peng was chatting with Cao Zhang and others in the car when he suddenly heard Tan Ma coming to report: "Young Master, the governor of Liangzhou is leading Lintao officials to welcome the young master at the ferry on the other side of the Tao River."
"ah?"
Cao Peng was startled!
The governor of Liangzhou welcomes me?
If officials from Lintao came to greet him, Cao Peng would be able to accept it.
After all, both Yan Xing and Hao Zhao are his subordinates and subordinates.
But the governor of Liangzhou...
This movement is a bit too big.
Since the governor of Liangzhou was so generous, Cao Peng naturally couldn't be rude. So he quickly got out of the car, walked to the ferry, boarded the ferry that had been prepared, and headed to the other side of the Tao River. The shore was crowded with people...
At the front was a tall and sturdy man, wearing a straight green robe and a turban on his head, standing with his hands behind his back.
The wind blew across the river, picking up Cao Peng's sleeves and flying. From a distance, he could clearly see the appearance of the burly man, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
