Cao Peng came from the room with a letter and a sword.
In the courtyard, Zhao Yun and Pang De were still in a tense confrontation, with a faint murderous intention between them. Zhao Yun was not a good talker, and he did not like to gossip behind people's backs. It was just that he couldn't hold it back just now, so he
With those words, what he meant was not that Cao Peng was the 'King Zhou', but that he was referring to Cao Cao. From Zhao Yun's point of view, Cao Cao coerced the emperor to order the princes and abolish the laws of his ancestors.
Resetting the prime minister is a traitor to the Han Dynasty. All those who work for Cao Cao are helping the emperor.
Therefore, Zhao Yun can only be a general, but cannot be a lobbyist.
Pound doesn't care who you're talking about!
He is Cao Peng's family general. Zhao Yun said that he helped Zhou to commit evil, so he was naturally referring to Cao Peng. Speaking of which, Cao Peng treated Pang De very well and regarded him as a confidant. From Lu Shuiwan to Pang De's capture, Pang Peng
Due to virtue, Cao Peng treated Pang De very kindly. But what about Pang De? He was also a straight-tempered person. People respect me as much as I respect others, not to mention Cao Peng's kindness to him.
Therefore, Zhao Yun said that anyone can do it, but not Cao Peng.
He was very eloquent, and he pushed Zhao Yun back with just one sentence.
On the one hand, Zhao Yun felt ashamed, and on the other hand, he was a little dissatisfied with Pound's blunt attitude, so the two people became hostile.
"Zilong, this is the letter Ziyou asked me to bring to you.
This sword, named Jinghong, is the work of my father this year. It was originally given to Ziyou, but Ziyou unexpectedly sent me this sword and asked me to give it to you. Youdao is a sword given to martyrs. Ziyou must have thought that
, Zilong is worthy of this Jinghong Sword, please bring it back to Zilong."
Zhao Yun was shocked when he heard this.
Who is Cao Peng's father?
That was the famous Yinmo Juzi, the current master of weaponry.
In the past few years, Cao Ji has seldom made swords or swords, partly because of his status, and partly because he has no time.
As the governor of Liangzhou, he may not have everything to do every day, but he is also very busy.
Even though there were many assistants around him, whether it was Xu Shu or Kan Ze, who could share most of the energy for Cao Ji, they were still a little overwhelmed. Therefore, Cao Ji almost closed his furnace and rarely forged swords. If it weren't for Cao Peng,
At the end of the 10th year of Jian'an, he invented the method of covering the earth with the blade and burning the blade, which attracted the attention of Cao Ji. It was absolutely impossible for him to restart the sword-making process. In the 11th year of Jian'an, Cao Ji spent half a year using the method of covering the earth with the burning blade.
The method, combined with the memory of the previous sword-making, created a total of seven swords and three swords, which are coveted by countless people.
However, few people dared to go to Cao Ji to ask for it.
These ten swords already have owners as soon as they are released.
Among them, the Kaitian Sword was ordered by Cao Cao, and the two swords of Zhenchi, one was obtained by Guo Jia, and the other was taken away by Xun Yu. Xiahou Yuan obtained one of Longyuan, and Cao Ren obtained one of Zhuifeng.
Jinghong, it was Cao Peng who interceded and let him stay specially.
There was a golden edge left, which was bought by Wang.
Because Wang Meng's nickname was Qianjin, this golden-edged sword was made by Cao Ji in memory of Wang Meng, so he naturally wanted to buy it for the king.
The three swords are named Liangzhou Longque, Hexi Qinggang and Xiji Hanguang.
Among them, Liangzhou Dragon Bird was held by Cao Ji, Hexi Qinggang gave it to Deng Fan, and Xiji Hanguang was Cao Peng's sword. The ten swords really caused a shock when they were released. The reason...
It's very simple. Cao Ji decided to close the furnace and stop making weapons from now on.
In other words, these ten swords are the work of Cao Ji Fenglu, and they also represent the pinnacle of Cao Ji's military craftsmanship.
In the future, Ji's magic weapons on the market will be priceless. Except for some stocks in the Cao family's Shenbing Pavilion, it is difficult to find Cao Ji's works on the market.
Cao Peng also expressed regret at that time.
However, Cao Ji told him that he had found a descendant of his late senior brother, and that descendant would inherit the skills...
Cao Peng did remember that Cao Ji did have a senior brother named Pu in his early years. However, he lost contact with him later and did not expect that there are still descendants alive in the world.
Zhao Yun was also shocked when he heard that the sword in front of him was made by Cao Ji.
When Cao Peng handed the letter and sword to Zhao Yun, he was a little at a loss.
"Okay, I finally completed what Ziyou asked me to do.
If Zilong has a reply, you can send someone to my house, and I will find someone to deliver it to Ziyou. It is getting late, and if Zilong is fine, then please forgive me for not keeping him."
Zhao Yun was stunned again.
I originally thought that Cao Peng would give him the letter and Jinghong Sword and say a few words to persuade him to stay.
Of course, Zhao Yun would definitely reject Cao Peng without hesitation.
But Zhao Yun was at a loss when he saw the guests off without saying a word... After hesitating for a moment, Zhao Yun handed over his hand and said, "Yun has taken the liberty of disturbing the young master today, and I ask for your forgiveness. However, today the young master gave me a sword.
On the battlefield in the future, Yun will definitely show no mercy."
When Cao Peng heard this, he smiled slightly.
"Then let's see the outcome on the battlefield."
After saying that, he waved his hand and turned back to the bedroom.
As the door closed, Zhao Yun couldn't help but feel an inexplicable feeling in his heart.
"Hey, come with me... don't climb over the wall again and say that my young master doesn't know how to treat guests."
What Pound said was really rude.
Zhao Yun's face turned red and he glared at Pound fiercely, "Then please lead the way."
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The courtyard has become quiet.
Cao Peng put down the book in his hand, stood up, stretched out, and blew out the lights on the desk. He walked out of the bedroom, stood on the porch, held on to the pillars, and looked up at the bright moon hanging in the night sky.
, unconsciously squinting into a slit, and tapping the pillars lightly with his fingers.
Just now, it wasn't that he didn't want to win over Zhao Yun.
You know, Cao Peng was a loyal 'Yuncai' in his previous life.
Among the Three Kingdoms, who he likes most is probably Zhao Yun.
In particular, the seven-in and seven-out sequence on Changban Slope has been sung into various versions in later generations, and is known to women and children all over the country.
As early as when he heard that Xia Houlan and Zhao Yun were childhood friends, Cao Peng had already thought of recruiting Zhao Yun. But it was not until later that he realized that recruiting talents in this era requires more than just a few words.
, we can achieve our goal. Xia Houlan spent a lot of effort in the beginning. Not to mention that Gan Ning also had a special reason for defecting to Cao Peng.
In order to recruit Pound, Cao Peng put in a lot of effort.
Now, it is far more difficult to recruit Zhao Yun than Gan Ning and Pang De...
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a lot of emphasis on recruiting talents. Cao Cao relied on the support of his tribe and the Xiahou family when he started his career. But he was really able to recruit talents after he attacked Dong Zhuo and pursued it alone. At that time, the princes captured Luoyang
, only Cao Cao and Sun Jian pursued bravely. Cao Cao's entire army was wiped out, but he gained great fame, and then Xun Yu and others joined him.
Yuan Shao, let alone talk about it.
After offending Dong Zhuo, he abandoned his official position and ran away to a remote place like Bohai County.
However, he relied on his background to obtain a large number of talents. Even the capture of Jizhou later was effortless, as many people were willing to follow him.
This is the power of birth!
If you don’t have fame or background, you have to rely on chance.
The best example is Liu, Guan, and Zhang.
At that time, Liu Bei was just a guy who weaved mats and sold shoes, but he had the same interests as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. This was partly due to Liu Bei's personal charm, and it was also due to chance. If there had not been the Yellow Turban Rebellion, if Cheng Zhiyuan had not led his troops to Zhuo
County, I'm afraid that even if the three of them, Liu, Guan, and Zhang met, they would just be strangers.
Cao Peng was famous and had a good background.
But to recruit Zhao Yun, the best opportunity was missed...
If you recruit them forcefully, it will be counterproductive. This kind of thing really needs an opportunity... In this regard, Cao Peng was also helpless.
Standing on the porch, he shook his head slightly.
If Zhao Yun had been forced to stay just now, he would probably be nothing more than a corpse.
It's too difficult to recruit.
Zhao Yun's loyalty to Liu Bei is difficult to shake. He is also a master who accepts death and likes to get into trouble, which makes it even more difficult.
Otherwise, given Zhao Yun's favorable impression of Liu Bei, he could have stayed with Liu Bei when Liu Bei occupied Xuzhou.
But Zhao Yun still chose to leave Liu Bei and return to Gongsun Zan. It's not that he had a great impression of Gongsun Zan, but that he didn't want to bear the reputation of someone who betrayed his master.
Thinking of this, Cao Peng lightly tapped his forehead.
This is really a trouble...
Kill Zhao Yun?
Cao Peng was really reluctant to give up.
But if Zhao Yun cannot be recruited, it will be a threat after all.
If it really doesn’t work, the only option is...
Cao Peng thought of this and subconsciously clenched his fists.
Behind him, footsteps sounded.
Cao Peng did not look back.
"Master, we have sent that person away."
Pang De came to Cao Peng's side and said in a low voice: "Young master, I seem to attach great importance to this person. Why didn't you keep him just now?"
"Ling Ming, how skilled is this person?"
"Although we haven't had a confrontation, he should be one step ahead of me.
However, if we join forces with the young master, we will be able to defeat him within fifty rounds; if there are secret warriors to help, he will not be able to survive twenty rounds."
Pang De felt a little displeased with Zhao Yun, but he still told the truth in his words without any adulteration.
Cao Peng smiled and said softly: "If he stayed, it would be just a corpse... It is a pity that such a hero died like this.
Besides, Ziyou and he were good friends. If I killed him, wouldn’t it make Ziyou sad?
Today I will form a good relationship. If there is a relationship, you can get what you want. However, you must be careful. If you fight with this person on the battlefield, you must not be able to defeat him. This person is the direct descendant of Qian Jue Tong Yuan.
Disciple, you have outstanding marksmanship and are brave and careful, so you need to be careful."
Pang De followed Cao Peng for more than three years.
This was the first time he had seen Cao Peng tell him to be careful about a certain person in such a solemn tone.
A look of solemnity suddenly appeared on his face. He cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, sir. If you meet this person on the battlefield, you will be more careful."
"So, very good!"
Cao Peng smiled slightly and looked westward with deep eyes.
Liu Xuande, I can finally face you head-on... I just don’t know if you can maintain your good luck this time?
