He forced himself to suppress the urge to burst into laughter, but he still couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth, and a strange smile flashed in his eyes.
Who is the most unlucky person in the Three Kingdoms?
Jiang Ziyi bears the brunt!
In the meeting of heroes, Jiang Qian stole books, causing Cao Cao to kill Cai Mao and Zhang Yun; when he crossed the river for the second time, he met Pang Tong, and a series of plots resulted in Cao Cao's millions of troops being wiped out. This guy is definitely a broom star, and was played by Zhou Yu in applause
During this time, I was still feeling very proud of myself.
It can be said that Jiang Qian is definitely a very funny character in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
Cao Peng never thought that he would meet Jiang Gan under such circumstances. Moreover, you, Jiang Gan, have a beard and are in your thirties, but you keep calling yourself a 'student'. How can it be embarrassing for Cao Peng? He heard Jiang Gan calling himself
Student, Cao Peng suddenly felt that he was really old!
But after some calculation, he is indeed quite old.
Counting his past and present lives, he has lived for more than fifty years. There is nothing wrong with Jiang Gan calling himself a 'student'.
"Jiujiang Jiang Ziyi, I have heard of him for a long time."
"Young Master also knows Ziyi's name?"
Jiang Qian was very surprised, but Fazheng on the side couldn't help but turn around and chuckle.
Brother, Mr. Cao’s words were obviously a kind word, why did you take it seriously? In this day and age, what is a famous person who has been admired for a long time, or is so popular? Most of the time it is a polite word. Generally speaking, unless it is the kind of person who has been famous for a long time.
Characters, no one really takes them seriously.
But Jiang Gan took it seriously and seemed very excited.
Cao Peng said with a smile: "Of course I know Ziyi's name. When I went to Haixi with my brother, I heard that Ziyi was a famous person from Lianghuai and Huaihe. Ziyi had good appearance and unparalleled eloquence... but sometimes he was too honest, which is inevitable.
If you are taken advantage of by others, you need to be careful in the future."
As soon as this sentence came out, Fazheng was stunned!
It seems that Cao Peng really knows this person.
Is there really something good about Jiang Ziyi? After all, Cao Peng couldn't help but mention Jiang Gan's strengths, but also his weaknesses, and asked him to be careful about being taken advantage of. These words have a profound meaning.
, let Fazheng face Cao Peng, and he couldn't help but feel fearful.
However, with Cao Peng's current reputation, it was more than enough to teach Jiang Qian a lesson.
After hearing what Cao Peng said, Jiang Qian was not only not annoyed, but was extremely happy. He thanked him repeatedly and said that he would be more careful.
In this way, the group of people rushed to Zigui.
There was no danger along the way, but when passing through Yiling, Cao Peng met Wang Wei who was ordered to garrison Yiling.
Wang Wei was one of the fifteen Jingzhou scholars promoted by Cao Cao after he took control of Jingzhou.
He was appointed Zhonglang General and Jingmen School Captain.
At first glance, this position does not seem to be very high.
But in fact, he is a military officer who leads an army alone and has great power. Yiling has been an important place connecting Jingzhou to Bashu since ancient times. Wang Wei's stationing in Yiling not only guards the west gate of Jingchu, but also
The Yishui River in the south serves as a barrier to prevent invading enemies from Changsha. In the past month, Wuxi barbarians made several sneak attacks on the Yishui River, but Wang Wei noticed them all and defeated them one by one, which earned Cao Cao's attention.
To sum up, Wang Wei can be regarded as a member of Cao Peng's family.
He had some friendship with Deng Ji, and it was Cao Peng who originally said that he would surrender the king's power.
For this reason, after Wang Wei surrendered, not only was he not suppressed, but he was even trusted by Cao Cao. Before he surrendered, Wang Wei did not feel how influential Cao Peng was. Only after he surrendered could he feel Cao Peng's influence.
Peng has great energy in the prime minister's house.
It is said that the Twelve Cao Cao of the Prime Minister's Mansion are inextricably related to Cao Peng.
And all the generals under Cao Cao had close business dealings with Cao Peng. Even people like Dian Wei and Xu Chu joined forces with Cao Peng to do business. The huge entanglement of interests has inadvertently formed a huge network, which made Cao Peng
Under Cao Cao, you can sit back and relax.
If anything, Wang Wei was a bit arrogant before.
So now, he knew very well that if he wanted to prosper, he must hold on to Cao Peng's thigh.
Therefore, when Cao Peng arrived at Yiling, Wang Wei entertained him very warmly and held a banquet on Dajiang for Cao Peng, Huang Zhong and others.
At the banquet, Cao Peng accidentally asked about Wuxi Man.
Wang Wei couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "The Wuxi barbarians have been a thorn in Jingchu's side since the beginning of the Han Dynasty.
Even when Fubo General Ma Yuan personally led his troops to quell the pacification, he was still unable to completely annihilate it. Over the years, the government has been weak, and the Wuxi Barbarians have taken advantage of the situation to become bigger. In addition, the wars continued in the early days, and many people hid in the mountains for refuge, and they were gradually overtaken by the Wuxi Barbarians.
Assimilation is a pet peeve.
When Liu Jingzhou was alive, General Han Sheng once conquered Hutou Mountain.
But the result..."
Wang Wei did not say any more, which aroused Cao Peng's strong curiosity.
He turned to look at Huang Zhong and asked doubtfully: "Uncle Zhong, what's the result?"
Huang Zhong was older than Cao Ji. If he followed the customs of this era, it wouldn't be unfair to be Cao Peng's grandfather. Out of respect, Cao Peng respected Huang Zhong as his father. But Huang Zhong couldn't do anything after his persuasion was useless.
He rejects the title Cao Peng, but respects Cao Peng as "gongzi".
It was this "World Father" that caused Huang Zhong's attitude to undergo earth-shaking changes.
As we all know, Huang Zhong once had a son who died young. After that, he never had any children again. No one knows why. Huang Zhong seemed to be indifferent on the surface, but in his heart, he still had a bit of regret. Cao Peng called him to the world.
Father, just like his child, made Huang Zhong feel a lot of emotion in his heart. From simple service to current maintenance. There is a big reason why he refuses to leave the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, that is, at this sound
"Shifu". In Huang Zhong's eyes, Cao Peng and his children seemed to be no different.
Upon hearing Cao Peng's inquiry, Huang Zhong smiled bitterly and said: "Hutou Mountain has a long stretch of mountains and complex terrain.
When I left the town of Changsha, I led my troops on an expedition. But once I entered the mountains, there was no plan. Those Wuxi barbarians were better at fighting in the mountains, so they suffered heavy casualties. These guys came out of the mountains as bandits and entered the mountains as civilians, so they could not be wiped out.
I once suggested that Young Master Jushi be treated with gentleness, but the effect was not obvious. Wuxi Barbarian has a rough temperament and is extremely cunning. I am also a little surprised, why did Liu Xuande get Wuxi Barbarian for his own use? By the way, there is one more thing.
Young Master, please be careful... The young king of Wuxi Man is named Samoko. He is about the same age as Young Master, but he is endowed with supernatural power and has the courage to be unstoppable. If you encounter him in the future, you need to be careful."
Samoko?
Cao Peng was vaguely impressed by this name.
This person seems to be the murderer who shot Gan Ning.
"If I have the chance, I would like to learn a lesson or two."
Cao Peng smiled coldly and stopped discussing the matter any further.
That night, everyone returned happily on the river. The next day, Cao Peng led the people and set off again, embarking on the road to Zigui.
Two days later, the group arrived in Zigui.
News also came from the front, saying that the Yizhou mission had set off from Quren and was on its way to Yufu.
"Sir, do you know who Zhang Yongnian is?"
Just when Cao Peng was about to enter Zigui County, Fazheng stopped him and asked him a question.
Zhang Yongnian was Zhang Song, the envoy from Yizhou who was sent to Xiangyang this time. To be honest, Cao Peng didn't know much about him. He only had a vague impression from the memory of his previous life. He had met him before.
He has the ability to remember things, is eloquent, and has quick wits.
But other than that, I don’t have the slightest impression.
However, aren't Zhang Song and Fazheng friends? Cao Peng looked at Fazheng, his eyes rolled around, and he immediately got the idea. If Fazheng is here, why bother anymore?
"But I don't know much."
Fazheng smiled and said, "Yongnian has a dissolute appearance, which often makes people feel scornful. In fact, he is deep-minded and has great ambitions. When I was in Chengdu, I had many contacts with Yongnian, so I knew his thoughts. The young man Yongnian described him
He is unique, so he is extremely sensitive and self-respecting... If someone respects him, he will repay him tenfold; if he is disrespectful to him, he will retaliate with all his strength. When he returned to Chengdu from Xindu and was appointed as the military council captain, it was
When Chengdu's prices skyrocketed and chaos first appeared, Yongnian once persuaded Liu Jiyu to pay more attention, but he did not want to do so. Therefore, he told me in private: Liu Jiyu is not a person who will achieve great things, and he needs to make plans early."
"Go on."
Cao Peng looked very calm, and there was no sign of impatience on his face.
Fa Zheng said: "Brother Yongnian came out of Sichuan just to seek an official position.
However, in my opinion, Yongnian came here this time without the intention of finding another enlightened master... Since the young master has his heart set on Xichuan, he cannot be neglected.
Zigui is too far away to show your sincerity.
I just thought that the young master should go to Wu County and then order people to clean the streets and wash the dust to welcome Yongnian. I would like to wait for the opportunity to contact Yongnian and introduce him to the young master. I wonder what the young master wants?"
Cao Peng fell into deep thought!
To be honest, he was not very clear about how many times Zhang Song had been on mission in history.
But according to the novel, it should only be once. But that should be what happened after the Battle of Chibi ended and Liu Bei captured the four counties of Jingnan. Now that he has arrived early, does Zhang Song have the "Xichuan Topographic Map" on him?
Still in between. According to the romance records, Cao Cao did despise Zhang Song, but Liu Bei entertained Zhang Song with a very grand ceremony, so that he was convinced and presented the topographic map of Xichuan. If this is the case, Zhang Song
On this mission, he should have brought a map with him. Even if he didn't bring a map, Fazheng had also said that Zhang Song had actually had his objections for a long time... It was not a bad idea to form a good relationship, which was just a matter of a few steps.
Thinking of this, Cao Peng made up his mind.
"In that case, let's leave immediately for Wu County."
He summoned the commander of Zigui and asked him to prepare and clean the streets to welcome the envoy. In order to ensure that no accidents occurred, Cao Peng also left Jiang Gan behind and asked him to supervise him. Then, the team set off again and embarked on the journey.
Fa Zheng was on the way to Wu County. Fa Zheng was also very happy about Cao Peng's decision. He was happy for no other reason than because Cao Peng valued him. He was full of knowledge, and what he wanted was someone who could value him.
Lord? Now, Cao Peng can change his itinerary just because of his words, and how much attention he attaches to it. If Fazheng still had the intention of using Cao Peng's network to serve Cao Cao before, then now, there is
Made some changes.
Who are the people around Cao Cao?
Cheng Yu, a famous scholar in Yanzhou; Jia Xu, a famous scholar in Guzang.
These two people have extremely profound qualifications that ordinary people cannot compare with. Xun Yu and Xun You? Not to mention! In terms of ability, talent, learning, and background, few people under Cao Cao can compare with the two of them. Then
But he came from a serious Yingchuan wealthy family and came from a scholarly family. The only one, Guo Jia, who didn't seem to have much background, although he was young, had followed Cao Cao for more than ten years.
More than ten years!
It has always been reused by Cao Cao.
Although his position is not high, he is an outstanding strategist and is Cao Cao's think tank.
Fazheng claims that his abilities may not be inferior to those of the five major conspirators, but how easy is it to surpass them?
Instead of fighting for that position, it would be better to help Cao Peng... At least, Cao Peng is not a heartless person, and he will not treat himself badly.
Cao Peng was not aware of Fa Zheng's change of mind.
After a day and a night, they arrived outside the city of Wu County. The magistrate of Wu County had already received the news and went out of the city to greet them. After asking, Cao Peng found out that the Yizhou delegation had arrived in Yufu County. According to the itinerary, they would arrive in Wu County tomorrow evening.
Inside the county, Cao Peng looked at the sky and saw that it was almost dark. After pondering for a moment, he immediately said to Magistrate Wu: "Pass my order to recruit all the people in the city and clean the official roads overnight.
He said that anyone who was recruited from now on would be exempted from the corvee service in the coming year.
Uncle Zhong, take your people to station at Shiliting and wait for the arrival of the envoy; Xiaozhi leads his troops to the state border to greet Zhang Yongnian and his party."
According to Huang Zhong's temper, he would never do such a thing to please others.
But when these words came out of Cao Peng's mouth, Huang Zhong felt that they were perfectly justified.
"What's the problem? I'll make arrangements right away."
Huang Zhong led a group of soldiers and horses and went straight to the official pavilion in Shili. Cao Peng, led by the magistrate of Wu County, entered the county seat of Wu County.
That night, the Wu County Long March issued corvee orders and ordered the people under the rule to clean the streets and clean up the filthy places.
With Cao Peng's order, the people of Wu County didn't have any objections. They walked out of their homes all night, held torches to clean the streets, and worked enthusiastically.
Cao Peng sat upright in the county government office in Wuxian County and did not rest.
He was thinking about how to explain this matter to Cao Cao...Cao Cao has now captured Youzhou and captured Jingzhou, which can be said to be very satisfying. Moreover, Cao Peng also knows that Cao Cao is very disgusted with Yizhou's greed. If Zhang Song comes, he may not
Give Zhang Song a good look.
However, this Zhang Song is precisely the key to capturing Yizhou.
Cao Peng closed his eyes, thought for a long time, and finally decided to report the seriousness of the matter to Cao Cao in the form of a letter. However, what kind of tone should he use to write this letter? Cao Peng sat next to the writing desk,
I kept thinking about my words and didn't finish writing this letter until dawn.
Then, he ordered someone to send the letter to Xiangyang in a hurry of 600 miles.
I only hope that after receiving this letter, Cao Cao can change his attitude and take Zhang Song and his party seriously...
If it is impossible to change Cao Cao's attitude, then the only option is to kill Zhang Song. Anyway, no matter what Zhang Song decides in the end, Cao Peng will never allow him to collude with Liu Bei.
After finishing what he was doing, Cao Peng finally relaxed.
He told Magistrate Wu that he should go back to his room to rest, so that he could recuperate before the arrival of Zhang Song and his entourage. He slept until noon. After noon, Magistrate Wu sent someone to wake Cao Peng up.
Cao Peng washed up and then ate something. Just as he was eating, he heard hurried footsteps outside the porch. Immediately after the door opened, Magistrate Wu walked into the room, "
Report to the Grand Governor that something bad has happened... General Huang got into a fight with people from the Yizhou Mission at the Jieguan Pavilion."
"ah?"
Cao Peng was also shocked when he heard this.
"Ready your horse with me immediately."
He didn't care about eating, put on a cotton robe and rushed out of the room.
The soldiers had already prepared their horses. Cao Peng got on his horse, whipped his horse, and went straight to the reception pavilion.
However, Cao Peng was a little confused. Huang Zhong was not the kind of person who couldn't tell the difference between importance and importance. He should know what he was planning, so why did he continue to fight with the Yizhou mission? Moreover, he also thought about it at this time.
One thing. When Magistrate Wu informed him, he said, "Huang Zhong started fighting with the people from the Yizhou Mission." Note that it was "Fighted with the people from the Yizhou Mission," not "Fight."
"People who joined the Yizhou mission." In other words, among the Yizhou mission, there were people who were as good as Huang Zhong.
Who is Huang Zhong?
The Five Tiger Generals of Shu Han!
At the age of sixty, he can still fight Guan Yu to a close.
Now, Huang Zhong is not yet sixty, and his energy and spirit are much stronger than when he was sixty. Even Zhao Yun said that it would take more than three hundred rounds to decide the winner with Huang Zhong. But now,
There is actually someone in the Yizhou mission who can stand up to Huang Zhong, and he is by no means an ordinary person.
His brain was spinning rapidly, Cao Peng recalled carefully, the general of Shu.
There are only a handful of people that Xichuan can count...Zhang Ren, Lei Tong, Leng Bao? By the way, there is also a veteran Yan Yan!
Who is it that came with the mission?
Cao Peng couldn't help but feel a little curious...
Before anyone arrived at the Jieguan Pavilion, they heard shouts of death coming from the direction of the Jieguan Pavilion.
On the official road, two teams of men and horses lined up on both sides of the road. The two generals were circling on the official road, killing each other inextricably. One of them was Huang Zhong. But he saw a yellow gelding on his crotch, a dragon bird sword in his hand, and he kept making sounds from his mouth.
The shouts were violent, the swords were flashing, the clouds of swords were rolling, and the momentum was terrifying; and the Yizhou general who fought with Huang Zhong should be about the same age as Huang Zhong...
He is also in his early fifties, with a long gray beard fluttering under his chin.
Under his crotch was a purple eagle, and in his palm was also a sharp Bairefined Dragon Bird ring. Facing Huang Zhong's ferocious attack, the veteran was not afraid at all, and met him with his sword. The two of them circled and fought in the center of the official road.
, the killing was indistinguishable. However, it can be seen that the veteran from Yizhou does not seem to be Huang Zhong's opponent. Although on the surface, the two of them are equally matched, their auras are a bit messy.
Sure enough it was him!
Cao Peng saw the veteran clearly and immediately understood his identity.
It was at this time that Huang Zhong suddenly changed the power of his sword. The sword in his hand seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. It seemed to be slow but fast, and he slashed towards the veteran. But the veteran was caught off guard and saw that he was helpless.
To block, he gritted his teeth, raised his sword and went forward to meet him.
Cao Peng knew that Huang Zhong's sword was called Lianshan Jiuzhuan.
The accurate explanation is that it is converted from the "wiping" formula of sword technique. One sword is connected with the other, and each sword is as fast as the other, and it is infinitely powerful.
Cao Peng did not dare to be lazy and galloped over.
"General Han Sheng and General Yan are both our own people. There is no need to engage in war."
While he was talking, the horse had already arrived in front of the formation. A young general from the Yizhou mission team immediately rushed out, raised his horse, twisted his gun, and shouted sternly: "You want to bully the few with your many?"
But he saw Cao Peng, who turned a blind eye to the young general. He suddenly turned around on his horse, and several rays of light flew out of his hand.
The iron meteor roared away with huge power. The young general was so frightened that he quickly dodged. On the battlefield, Huang Zhong and the veteran general raised their swords to block, avoiding Cao Peng's hidden weapon technique of nine stars flying to the moon.
Huang Zhong turned his horse back, and the veteran general also reined in his horse and shouted sharply: "Who is coming!"
