This is an extremely secluded small courtyard and looks very simple.
There are two trees in the courtyard, and the branches are already covered with buds. Jiang Wan is dressed in a green shirt, with a heavy bookish air. He seems to have lost a lot of weight after not seeing him for two or three months, but he seems to be in good spirits. When he saw Cao Peng,
, Jiang Wan was startled for a moment, and then regained his composure.
People often say, if you have no desire, do it!
In the past, Jiang Wan hoped to make a difference in his official career, so he was naturally respectful to Cao Peng.
But it's different now. He offended someone and was dismissed from office, so his mood became much indifferent.
It turned out that Zhang Yun passed through Bianxian County some time ago, and Jiang Wan seemed a bit lax in his reception. But in Jiang Wan's words, his writing was completely in line with etiquette, but Zhang Yun wanted to blackmail, and he was unwilling to comply. Zhang Yun was unwilling to comply.
Yun's greed for money is not a secret in Jingzhou.
In the past, no matter where he went, he would make huge profits.
Although he is not as powerful as before, his status is still there. What's more, he and Cai Mao share weal and woe, and Cai Mao still serves as the commander-in-chief of the Navy and is valued by Cao Cao. Naturally, Zhang Yun is showing an arrogant air.
There is no sign of convergence at all.
Jiang Wan refused to bow his head, which naturally angered Zhang Yun.
Although Zhang Yun's power is no longer what it used to be, no one wants to offend him.
The people of Jingzhou would ignore them because of their past friendship, but the Cao generals would not offend Zhang Yun at will because they have nothing to do with them. After all, there is Cai Mao behind Zhang Yun. Cao Cao currently values Cai Mao very much.
Why offend Zhang Yun for a small county magistrate?
Therefore, Liu Xian, the new governor of Nanjun, dismissed Jiang Wan from his official position.
"This... I really don't know this."
When Cai Yang heard this, he immediately became anxious.
He could see that Cao Peng made a special trip to see Jiang Wan and admired Jiang Wan very much. Jiang Wan was dismissed from office, and he succeeded Jiang Wan as the county magistrate. In case Cao Peng misunderstood that he was involved
If he messes up his hands and feet, Cai Yang will definitely have a difficult life in the future.
No matter how awesome Cai Mao is, can he be better than Cao Peng?
That is Cao Cao's nephew and his confidant.
General Hengye and Governor Jing Nan... seem to be a head lower than Cai Mao. But everyone knows that if Cao Peng really kills Cai Mao, Cao Cao will not blame him too much. If Mrs. Cai is in Xiangyang, she can still rely on Liu Cong and Cao Peng
However, Mrs. Cai has left, and the Cai family is no longer what it used to be.
Cai Yang still remembers that before his wife left Xiangyang, she called the Cai clan together.
"Cai's present is not what it used to be.
When I go to Xingyang, there will be less and less things I can do to help you. In the future, you should be careful and don't be too ostentatious, so as not to provoke people who shouldn't be provoked and lead to death."
What can't be taken into consideration?
To put it bluntly, Mrs. Cai just told the Cai clan members: I will no longer care about your affairs.
Although I am a member of the Cai family, I have already sacrificed too much for the Cai family. Now I have to think about my children, so I will never contact Cai again in the future.
Mrs. Cai is a smart woman who knows how to read people's hearts.
What is her situation now? She knows it very well. The desperate beggar took Cao Peng's way, which is undoubtedly a guarantee for her mother and son. But if she is no longer connected with the Cai family, I am afraid Cao Peng will not be happy either.
.No one likes the person they take care of, so don't care. What's more, Mrs. Cai entered Liu Biao's home at a young age. To some extent, she has already given too much.
Cai Yang said: "To be honest, Mr. Yang, Yang was originally the magistrate of Zhijiang County.
Last year, when the young master pursued Liu Ni, the Wuxi barbarians made a surprise attack on Huya Mountain. If General Wenpin hadn't reinforced it in time, Yang almost died. After that, Yang Po felt a little scared, so he talked to De Gui and hoped to leave Zhijiang. There happened to be a vacancy in the county.
, the clan brother sent Yang Diao here.
Gongyan’s matter really has nothing to do with Yang.”
Cai Yang is a man who knows his own weight very well. If he is in charge of governing the world, he can be a conservative magistrate. He will not have much success, but slowly working hard, he can also be a thousand-stone official. The problem is, now
In troubled times, Zhijiang was located at the junction of Nanjun and Wuling. Although Wenpin and Wang Wei later stationed themselves in Yidao and Yiling respectively, Zhijiang has become much safer. However, after all, the terrain is complex, and Wuxi barbarians often appear. Cai Yang is hesitating
After thinking about it for a long time, I decided to transfer out of Zhijiang as soon as possible to avoid danger.
Cao Peng had no intention of asking for guilt, but seeing Cai Yang's pale face, he couldn't help but feel happy.
Before he could speak, Jiang Wan said: "County Magistrate Cai has nothing to do with this matter. This is because the humble position is not sociable, which has caused disaster... After County Magistrate Cai came to Bianxian County, he took great care of the humble position and even wanted to
It’s just a humble position. It’s just that I feel that my talents are limited and my knowledge is low, so... Don’t blame me, Mr. County Magistrate Cai is indeed a good person. At least he has been here to organize the county for more than a month, which has also made the county more stable."
He is a good man, but he did not say whether he is capable or not.
Cao Peng didn't expect that Jiang Wan would actually speak for Cai Yang, so he couldn't help but nodded slightly.
Cai Yang, on the other hand, showed a grateful smile and secretly raised his hand towards Jiang Wan to express his gratitude.
"There is no need to panic, Magistrate Cai. I was ordered to supervise Jingnan, and the county is not under my rule.
How could I handle this matter concerning Prefect Liu beyond his authority? However, Magistrate Cai is extremely grateful for his care for Gong Yan. If there is a chance in the future, you and I might as well conspire to get drunk... When Madam left, she even sent someone
Tell me, please take good care of the Cai clan."
call!
Cai Yang finally let out a sigh of relief.
He saw that although Cao Peng spoke politely, he was quite distant, and he knew that Cao Peng had something to see Jiang Wan.
He couldn't help but feel a little envious in his heart, but Cai Yang still said goodbye and left Jiang Wan's home.
"Gong Yan, do you want to return home?"
"Ah, exactly."
"Haha, it's not easy to live in Xiangyang, but it's not bad to return home.
It’s just that Gong Yan has a lot of talent, so he plans to bury it like this, or does he have other plans?”
Jiang Wan hesitated for a moment, then raised his head and smiled bitterly: "To be honest, young master, I have a good friend named Fei Yi, who is from Jiangxia County. In his early years, although his uncle Fei Guan went to Xichuan, he was highly regarded by Liu Yizhou. Wan knew that his talent was limited and his learning was shallow.
, and offended the powerful people, I am afraid that it will be difficult to achieve anything in the future. So I prepared to return home to rest for a while, and then went to Chengdu to join Fei Yi... I didn't want the young master to suddenly come to his humble residence."
now it's right!
I remember that Jiang Wan was originally a member of Liu Zhang in history. Later Liu Bei entered Shu and surrendered to Liu Bei.
Fei Yi seems to be a character in Chu Shi Biao too...
Jiang Wan is a sincere gentleman and does not use lies to deal with it. This shows that he still has some expectations in his heart. At least after meeting Cao Peng, he has more hope. Although Xichuan is good, he is still on the side. If he can
To make a difference in the Central Plains, Jiang Wan certainly did not want to go to Xichuan. When Cao Peng came, he was obviously looking for him. Jiang Wan knew very well that this might be an opportunity for him.
The two of them sat down in the courtyard, and Cao Peng got straight to the point: "I am under orders this time to be the Commander-in-Chief of Jingnan.
Gongyan is from Xiangxiang, and Jingnan is also Gongyan's hometown. Therefore, I made a special trip here, hoping that Gongyan can help me and restore peace to Jingnan."
When Jiang Wan heard this, he immediately laughed.
"Dare you disobey your orders?"
Today's Jiang Wan is not the important official of Shu Han in history.
He has no name, no money, no power, and no qualifications. It is not easy to get ahead.
In history, Jiang Wan also became famous in the middle and late Shu Han Dynasty. It was impossible to rise all at once. As for Cao Peng, he was a minister in the court. At the age of twenty-six, he had already been worshiped as General Hengye and had a bright future. If
Being able to follow him is also a good thing for Jiang Wan.
Moreover, Jiang Wan's hometown was in Lingling, which was also under the rule of Jingnan.
Although Cao Peng was stationed in Wuling, which was separated from Lingling by a county. But in comparison, it was not that far away, and it could be regarded as a return home in full glory.
Cao Peng prepared a lot of excuses to get Jiang Wan to follow him.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Wan agreed without any effort, but he didn't know how to proceed. After being stunned for a moment, Cao Peng suddenly laughed, stood up and pulled Jiang Wan's hand.
Hand, "In that case, please go Gongyan and set off with me."
Without saying a word, Jiang Wan immediately went back to the house to get his luggage, and then followed Cao Peng and left Bianxian County.
Before leaving, Cao Peng had someone notify the county magistrate Cai Yang, and tried his best to reassure him. Cai Yang was extremely grateful and led the county gentry to send Cao Peng and others out.
Outside the city, I watched the group of people walking gradually farther and farther away under the afterglow of the setting sun.
"When Gong Yan leaves here, he will surely achieve great success.
So, this is a blessing and a blessing in disguise. Misfortune lies on the back of blessing, and blessing lies on the back of misfortune... You should keep this in mind in the future."
Cai Yang let out a sigh, which immediately attracted praise from everyone.
The figures of Cao Peng and others have disappeared into the horizon.
Cai Yang paused at the gate of the city for another moment, then led everyone back to the county seat with a slightly disappointed look!

The governor of Jingnan naturally had little control over the military.
When Cao Peng arrived at Jiangling, he had a general understanding of the power in his hands.
Cao Cao allocated a total of eight schools of troops to wait for Cao Peng's orders.
Among them, Lai Gong, the prefect of Wuling, was in charge of a school with about 3,000 people, and was stationed in Wuling County to govern Linyuan County; the military advisor offered sacrifices to wine, Shangshu Ling, and supervised the military affairs of Jingnan. Xun Yu was in charge of a school, with 4,000 people, and was stationed in Tang Dynasty.
Xun Yu was responsible for the defense of the Dongting navy and the troops east of the Poluoyuan River. Moreover, he also controlled the allocation of baggage and grain. The baggage transferred from Jiangling first passed through Xun Yu's hands and was then distributed to various places.
The people in these two schools are basically dead, and it is not easy for Cao Peng to mobilize them.
In addition to the two of them, the Yiling Wangwei School and the Yidao Wenpin School protect Cao Peng's flanks, so there is no need to worry about the enemies in the west. At the same time, these two schools are also responsible for guarding Nanjun and monitoring Wuxi.
Man's responsibility. Although he obeyed Cao Peng's orders, he could not move lightly.
In other words, Cao Peng only had four schools of men left in his hands.
Cao Peng himself had 6,000 soldiers and horses, which could be used as a school. Cao Cao really put a lot of thought into the other three schools. He transferred Pang De from Wulin and Wei Yan from Zhangshan to Jingnan. Each of them led
One school has a total of 10,000 soldiers and horses; the remaining one is appointed by Cao Peng himself.
After Cao Peng thought about it for a while, he ordered Huang Zhong to lead the school alone.
Due to the terrain restrictions in Jingnan, it was difficult for heavy cavalry to play its role. Therefore, after Cao Peng arrived in the Tang Dynasty, he discussed it with Xun Yu. Xun Yu came forward and made a request to Cao Cao to transfer the leopard cavalry to Linyuan.
It is led by Huang Zhong. Huang Zhong is originally the deputy governor of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. Although he was previously in charge of the Tiger Cavalry, he is not unfamiliar with the Leopard Cavalry's tactics, and there is no need to get used to them.
And these four thousand leopard cavalry are also the only cavalry army in Jingnan.
Xun Yu seemed a little hesitant at first.
But under Cao Peng's persuasion, he finally agreed. Although he was dissatisfied with Cao Peng before, it was just a small grudge and not a big problem. Frankly speaking, Xun Chen's death had nothing to do with Cao Peng. Although that
The Eight Oxen Crossbow that shot Xun Chen was created by Cao Peng, but Cao Peng was not in Wuyin at that time. How could we blame Cao Peng? To be precise, this was Xun Chen's fate! If he didn't want to assist Liu Bei, if he didn't
If you want to capture Wuyin, you can't die under Wuyin City. Before Xun Yu, it was just a small embarrassment to Cao Peng.
In terms of his true nature, Xun Yu still valued Cao Peng and still appreciated him very much...
Xun Yu had a good relationship with Deng Ji, and with Cao Peng's care, he also had shares in Yingchuan Fuzhi Building, making a lot of profits every year. He was an honest man and never accepted bribes. He had a forthright temperament and was very generous.
The money was quite generous... His family was famous for his poetry and calligraphy. Although he had property, he had to take care of the entire family, and it was impossible to give him too much monthly salary. As a result, Xun Yu was often nervous.
He is also good at buying books, especially those that are unique, unique, and rare, and he does not hesitate to buy them at any cost.
There were many people in the family, and they also had food to eat. As a result, without some extra income, Xun Yu's life would be really tight.
Therefore, out of sorrow, Xun Yu treated Cao Peng as before.
Cao Peng felt relieved and asked Xun Yu: "But I don't know when the other troops will arrive?"
"Wen Chang and Ling Ming have received the notice and must have left their base now.
It is estimated that it will not take long for the two of them to arrive... However, the prime minister has transferred Gong Ming and replaced Ling Ming to garrison Wulin.
Now we are confronting Liu Bei at Yuanshui, what are your plans?"
Cao Peng thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "I intend to order Wen Chang to garrison Lingyang, while Ling Ming will take charge of Yuannan."
"Then where do you want to locate the Governor's Mansion?"
"this……"
Cao Peng glanced at Xun Yu in surprise, not quite understanding what he meant.
Since the Governor is Jingnan, I should naturally set up the Governor's Palace in Linyuan, the county seat of Wuling County. Is there still a problem?
Xun Yu said with a smile: "Bo Qian is not a broad-minded person... The prime minister appointed him as the governor of Wuling. He hoped to use his reputation to appease the people of Wuling. If you set up a governor's palace in Linyuan, everything will be better."
If he misunderstood it as surveillance, wouldn't it cause a lot of trouble?
Anyway, you don't count on the troops in his hands.
In my opinion, it is better to send one person to the army and then choose another place to set up a governor's palace."
"Send who?"
Cao Peng was startled at first, and then a person appeared in his mind, and he quickly said: "Commander, I have a candidate who is just suitable for supervising the army."
"who?"
"I remember that Lai Boqian is from Lingling... On the way here this time, I recruited a wise man, who happened to be from Lingling and the same hometown as Lai Gong. Why don't I make this man the commander-in-chief of the army? If Lai Gong wants to come,
There won’t be any big objections. It’s just about choosing a place to open the mansion?”
Now that Cao Peng had an idea, Xun Yu stopped asking any more questions.
He smiled slightly and said in a deep voice: "How about Han Shou?"
