Zhou Buyi is a character with unknown origins.
He is only fourteen years old, but he is talented and can speak eloquently.
It can be said that Cao Peng had no impression of such a person. At least, this person did not appear in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
He was a child prodigy in Jingzhou who suddenly made the trek and settled in Xudu.
He made no attempt to hide it, and showed obvious hostility towards Cao Peng from the very beginning.
It is said that Zhou Buyi is a descendant of a noble family, and his uncle Liu Xian is well-known in Jingxiang. But the problem is that according to the rules of the Eastern Han Dynasty, a single-character name is noble, and a double-character name is humble. Zhou Buyi is not his cousin.
The character is Yuan Zhi. In other words, Zhou Buyi is his real name.
A child of an aristocratic family with a nickname, and a young man with an extremely different origin.
Cao Peng was puzzled. Who was this Zhou Buyi?
After sending Lu Hao and Pu Yangyi away, Cao Peng sat alone in his study and meditated. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Zhou Buyi's origins were suspicious.
But his life experience is clear and there is no doubt about it.
Gently rubbing his cheek, Cao Peng stood up, only to realize that at some point, it had darkened.
He lit the oil lamp, walked out of the study, stood on the porch, looked at the autumn chrysanthemums blooming in the courtyard, pouted, turned and left along the corridor. As early as when he first heard about Zhou Buji
, and began to pay attention to inquire. According to Huang Yueying, she knew Liu Xian's name, but she was not particularly clear about Zhou Buyi. It is no wonder that when Huang Yueying left Jiangxia, Zhou Buyi should not be more than five or six years old. She
Naturally, it is impossible to have too many impressions. Therefore, there is not much help that can be given to Cao Peng.
Cao Peng sent people to Yingyin again to consult Huang Chengyan.
At the same time, more people asked Xu Shu, Pang Tong and others, hoping to get some information from them...
From Huang Chengyan, Cao Peng once again confirmed the existence of Zhou Buyi. Huang Chengyan left Jingzhou in the fifth year of Jian'an. Zhou Buyi was eight years old at the time. He was known for his intelligence and was well-known in Lingling. However, due to Jiangxia and Lingling,
They were far apart, and Zhou Buyi was still young at the time. Although he was famous, he was not familiar with Huang Chengyan. After all, there was a huge gap between the two. With Huang Chengyan's identity and status at the time, how could he pay special attention to an eight-year-old
A child? Even if that child is an extremely smart person.
However, Huang Chengyan said that he would try to find out for him.
But that is not something that can be found out at once. After all, Huang Zu is dead, and Huang Yan is far away... The Huang family in Jiangxia is no longer what it used to be, and it is not easy to find out the news. At the same time, Pang Degong is in Jian'an
After seven years of hiding in Lumen Mountain, he has rarely appeared. If Mr. Pang could be found, it might be clearer. Unfortunately, no one knows where he is hiding.
Pang Tong and Xu Shu also sent people to reply, knowing that there was such a Lingling prodigy.
But it's not much different from Huang Chengyan's situation. They don't know very well about Zhou Buji's situation...
However, Meng Jian told a situation that caught Cao Peng's attention: Zhou Buji had gone with Liu Xian to Shuijing Villa to visit Sima Hui.
At that time, Sima Hui admired Zhou Buyi very much and praised him as a child prodigy.
That happened in the sixth year of Jian'an. Meng Jian was still studying at Shuijing Villa, so he had two not too close contacts with Zhou Buyi. According to Meng Jian, Zhou Buyi was eleven years old.
, but his arrogant behavior and uninhibited speech made people feel very uncomfortable. However, he and Zhuge Liang were able to talk together, and they seemed to be restrained. At that time, Cui Jun was extremely dissatisfied with Zhou Buyi, and once said in a casual chat
, speaking of Zhou Buyi. Zhuge Liang even argued for Zhou Buyi for a few words, but then let it go...
Zhuge Liang, Zhou Buyi, Liu Xian, Cao Chong!
Cao Peng had an unclear feeling about these names.
Zhuge Liang is now assisting Liu Bei, and through his connections, Liu Bei has been able to take charge of the new lands and Anzhong, sit in Fancheng, and gain a firm foothold in Jingzhou.
However, for some reason, Liu Bei and Liu Qi got very close.
Zhuge Liang is also the son-in-law of the Cai family, which makes the relationship between the two parties complicated.
Liu Xian, who was Liu Biao's friend, seemed to be leaning towards Cao Cao. But Zhou Buji, a young man with no official position, became friends with Cao Chong.
Cao Peng discovered a problem among these seemingly unrelated people.
According to Cao Zhang's return, Cao Chong had been studying at home and rarely had contact with outsiders. But somehow he became friends with Zhou Buyi.
How did Zhou Buyi become friends with Cao Chong?
This is a question!
Although Cao Cao admired Zhou Buyi and tried to betroth his eldest daughter Cao Xian to Zhou Buyi, he unexpectedly was rejected by Zhou Buyi...
With Cao Cao's temper, he would never introduce his family to Zhou Buyi.
This is not stingy, but Cao Cao wanted to recruit Zhou Buji, but was rejected by Zhou Buji?
Why!
Zhou Buyi’s thoughts may not be towards Cao Cao; in other words, Zhou Buyi is conflicted with Cao Cao. So, why would he be conflicted with Cao Cao?
Some things really can't be considered complicated.
Otherwise, the more you think about it, the more complicated it becomes.
Cao Peng came to the bedroom unknowingly and saw Huang Yueying reading a book in the room.
He quietly came behind Huang Yueying, stretched out his arms and hugged Huang Yueying. Huang Yueying was startled at first, but then she smelled the familiar body odor and stopped struggling.
"Afu, why are you so surprised?"
"looking at what?"
"The thirty-six strategies you wrote."
Huang Yueying put down the book, turned around and smiled gently, "I was reading the article about the plan to defeat the enemy. I was about to read the article about the beauty trap, but you came... Husband, the article about the beauty trap is based on the article "Sun Wu's Thirteen Chapters"
, and derived from it? Gou Jian used the gift of beauty to please his husband, and used the imperial bandits to be obedient and protect him."
To be precise, the beauty trap comes from an article in "Six Taoist Wenfa".
The original content of the text is: Feed his rebellious ministers to confuse them, and introduce beautiful voices to confuse them.
What it means is: For enemies that are difficult to conquer with military operations, sugar-coated cannonballs should be used. Do what they want, and defeat the opponent mentally and willfully. This honey trap not only includes using beauty to confuse the enemy, but the key is to do what they want.
Okay, break the opponent's will.
Generally speaking, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an evolved version of "Sun Wu's Thirteen Chapters".
However, Cao Peng's heart suddenly shook for no reason.
"Yueying, what did you just say?"
"I mean, this beauty trap was derived from the use of "The Thirteen Chapters of Sun Wu"... Husband, what's wrong with you? Is what I said wrong?"
Huang Yueying is a woman. Although she has a wide range of interests, to be honest, she has no understanding of the art of war.
It's just that when I was bored, I had read a few art of war, so my words were not very confident. But in Cao Peng's ears, it seemed like a thunder exploded. His originally groggy brain seemed to have flashed.
A ray of light suddenly appeared, making him suddenly clear.
Use room?
He couldn't help but narrowed his eyes.
Could it be that this week is undoubtedly a time of death?
This does not seem to be impossible. The key lies in where Zhou Buyi died.
Liu Biao’s?
Not quite like...
Liu Xian agreed to join Cao Cao.
But even though Zhou Buyi is Liu Xian's nephew, he may not agree with Liu Xian's ideas. If he and Liu Xian are not in the same faction, then where will he belong?
Meng Jian seemed to have said that Zhou Buyi seemed to be somewhat close to Zhuge Liang.
So, could Zhou Buyi be Liu Bei's man? As soon as this thought came up, the more Cao Peng thought about it, the more likely he felt...
If this is the case, then the encounter between Zhou Buyi and Cao Chong has a very obvious atmosphere of conspiracy.
"Husband, husband?"
"ah?"
Cao Peng suddenly woke up and saw Huang Yueying's worried look.
He quickly smiled and said: "Don't worry, I'm fine. I just thought of something, so I was a little lost.
By the way, Yueying, have you finished writing the workshop regulations I asked you to write for me before? I’ll take a look and take them to my father-in-law tomorrow.”
"Well, it's the assembly line you were talking about, right?"
Huang Yueying smiled and nodded, having already written it.
She stood up, took out a thin booklet from the small cabinet at the end of the kang, and handed it to Cao Peng.
After Cao Peng took it, he quickly turned through two pages and then put it in his arms.
"Yueying, you should go to bed first. I have some things that I want to think over tonight, so don't wait for me any longer."
"good!"
Huang Yueying agreed and sent Cao Peng out of the room.
"By the way, remember to send someone to Xudu tomorrow and ask Mr. Xiao to come. Don't forget it."
"You mean, Xiao Kun from Hui Chun Hall?"
"Exactly."
Cao Peng agreed and said he would keep it in mind.
Guo Huan's delivery date is coming soon, and Zhen Mi's delivery date is only within the next month or two.
Although Xingyang has everything, if necessary, Cao Peng can talk to Wang Zhi and it can be done. But in his heart, both Cao Peng and his family seem to trust Xu Du, a famous gynecologist in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Mr. Xiao Kunxiao from Huichun Hall. After all, Xiao Kun once delivered Cao Wan, Cao Yang, and Deng Ai... Wen Po and the like can be found locally. But for this doctor, it is better to ask an acquaintance to feel more at ease.

After Cao Peng returned to the study, he took out the assembly line regulations and put it on the desk.
This is also a set of regulations he designed after observing Heyi Workshop for a period of time, based on the current situation of Heyi Workshop and combined with the assembly line operations of later generations. That is, each process is separated and assigned to a dedicated person. The benefits of this
That is, it can improve efficiency and maintain some secrets. Especially since Cao Peng has restored another knife-making process in the past few months, you have to be more careful.
However, he was not in a hurry to see the charter. Instead, he opened the window, stood by the window, and looked outside.
Being interrupted by Huang Yueying just now, his thoughts were a bit out of line. After calming down and pondering for a moment, Cao Peng continued the conjecture he had just made.
According to Cao Zhang, Cao Chong met Zhou Buyi by an extremely accidental opportunity.
The two hit it off and quickly became acquainted and became friends...
To be honest, it has been almost three years. Cao Peng is not particularly clear about Cao Chong's changes. He only knows that he first studied in a school, and then got Cao Cao's permission to study at home. What kind of book did he read? Learned
What? Cao Peng didn’t understand it at all.
However, from the words revealed by Deng Ai, Cao Peng could sense that Cao Chong seemed to be deviating from the route he had taken to naturalize him earlier.
Especially Cao Chong seems to have a sense of superiority nowadays.
And it was this sense of superiority that made him start to have other thoughts, such as dignity and inferiority, such as nobility and inferiority... The most frightening thing is that Cao Chong seems to be attributing this inferiority and inferiority to heaven. In other words,
It is destiny! If God lets you be born into a wealthy family, it is destined that you will be superior to others all your life; and if you are born into a commoner's family, God has already destined you.
Cao Peng didn't know where Cao Chong came from.
But to Cao Peng, his thoughts were more like those of the so-called 'second generation' he met in his previous life.
A spoiled child!
He is smart and can draw inferences from one instance to another.
Cao Peng valued Cao Chong before because of his plasticity; but now it seems that it is this plasticity that may cause him to fall short of his achievements.
You know, Cao Chong was only seven years old when he left the army.
Then the people he comes into contact with and the books he reads will have a profound impact on him.
Sensation from heaven!
According to Cao Chong's current situation, it is undoubtedly influenced by the theory of telepathy between heaven and man. This also makes Cao Chong must attach great importance to family background and dignity. Whether Zhou Buyi really agrees with Cao Chong's views is not going to be said, but he
At least it catered to Cao Chong's views. Perhaps it was for this reason that Zhou Buyi quickly gained Cao Chong's trust. But, how did he know Cao Chong's preferences?
In other words, there must be someone in Xudu who knows Cao Chong very well and has even observed him for a long time.
If this were not the case, how could Zhou Buyi grasp Cao Chong's preferences so accurately? Judging from Zhou Buyi's various actions and performances since entering Xudu, it seems that he has been deliberately emphasizing the correctness of Cao Chong's concept.
.For this reason, he argued with Xun Yue, argued with Kong Rong, and even pointed the finger at Hu Zhao. Because Hu Zhao was undoubtedly the representative figure of "education without distinction". He accepted disciples regardless of their origin and age. As long as they were
If you are determined to study, Hu Zhao will accept it. This is in conflict with the destiny of superiority and inferiority.
who?
Who is observing Cao Chong?
In other words, who is secretly guiding Cao Chong?
Cao Peng felt that there seemed to be a dark hand controlling everything that happened...
Zhuge Liang?
It's possible... but it seems that he has no chance to contact Cao Chong, and he may not even know Cao Chong at all. So, who could it be?
Mrs. Huan must be responsible for Cao Chong's changes today.
Mrs. Huan was originally from a noble family. Although it has declined, she is still a child of a noble family.
Previously, Cao Pi had a great advantage. Both in terms of age and ability, this put tremendous pressure on Mrs. Huan. So, in desperation, Mrs. Huan took the help of Cao Peng, hoping to
Cao Peng supported Cao Chong and fought with Cao Pi.
But when Cao Pi died, Mrs. Huan relaxed.
The pride of a daughter of that aristocratic family...
Wrong, wrong, now we are not going to hold Mrs. Huan accountable, but we are going to find the black hand.
Cao Peng lightly slapped his forehead, and suddenly, a familiar face flashed through his mind...could it be him? If the entire incident was planned by him, it would make sense.
