Chapter 710 Master and apprentice? Father and son?
.On the first day of the first lunar month, it was extremely calm...
In addition to a little conflict in Guangling, Jiang Wan temporarily set up a checkpoint. In a caravan going to Jiangdong, he accidentally discovered an Eight Ox Crossbow, which immediately attracted Jiang Wan's attention. The caravan was owned by Danyang's merchants, and after it was discovered
After firing the eight-niu crossbow, they immediately resisted and more than ten people were killed on the spot.
The Eight Ox Crossbow was a major killing weapon for Cao Jun.
Although they have begun to be assembled, they are extremely scarce and closely guarded. Among the navy, only large-scale ships can be equipped. Among the infantry, they are even more closely guarded military supplies.
According to reports, Cao Jun has begun assembling crossbows, but is still in the process of deploying them.
The power of the Eight Ox Crossbow is extremely amazing. After countless improvements and adjustments, one arrow can cut off a stern boat in half within eighty steps. Such a powerful weapon must be properly kept. Not a businessman,
Even in the military, there is always someone to take care of them and they can be counted every day.
Jiang Wan immediately informed Man Chong!
This is not the same thing... Kodong was able to produce a complete Eight Ox Crossbow. What went wrong?
Man Chong also attached great importance to it. After receiving the news, he rushed to Guangling overnight.
After two days of torture, the merchant finally confessed that he had spent all his efforts to obtain the eight-oxen crossbow from a person in Langya County. But who exactly was he? He didn't know! However, he confessed that the person seemed to be quite popular in the local area.
He had energy. After he made the request, the man only hesitated for a moment and immediately agreed. In less than a month, he got this eight-oxen crossbow.
Langya County?
Man Chong was a little surprised.
After repeated consideration, he decided to report this matter to Cao Cao.
After all, if the other party can produce this eight-oxen crossbow, they must not be ordinary people, so they must be treated with caution.
That is to say, on the same day, Jiang Wan secretly sent a secret letter to Yecheng...
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
After Cao Peng returned home, he still felt uncomfortable.
Zuo Zhonglang handed over such an important position to such an unknown person? What a child's play!
Yes, Huan Lang is a close minister of Cao Cao, and he is also a relative of Mrs. Huan.
But he has no merit, let alone any prestige, how can he take on such an important position? Even if it is a false name, it is not justified! Cao Peng can't understand why Cao Cao made such a mistake? This was not done before.
It is absolutely impossible, but now...
During dinner, he forced a smile and chatted with everyone.
However, the atmosphere at home still seemed a bit depressing.
Cao Ji asked Cao Peng privately: "That Huan Lang is an unreasonable person. If you treat him like this, wouldn't you offend him?"
Cao Peng heard this and sneered, "Father, what are you afraid of him doing?
The world's surname is Cao, not Huan. It's not his turn to show off his power in front of us. If he doesn't apologize at noon tomorrow, I will smash his farm and destroy his residence. I am fighting bloody battles at the front, but I can't help people like this.
If he makes trouble for me in the back or makes me angry, I'm not afraid to let him know how to write the three words Cao Hell King."
Cao Peng's tough attitude actually reassured Cao Ji.
"By the way, the boy Shao seemed a little unhappy when he came back today, and he didn't eat much dinner...
Is it him?"
"Just a few lessons."
"Children will inevitably make mistakes, so don't be too harsh.
Be coaxed when it's time, coax when it's time to coax... Na Shao doesn't come from an idle background, and he has a arrogant heart. You need to be easy to guide, and don't let him get in the way and ruin a child for nothing."
"this……"
Cao Peng thought for a while and then agreed.
He liked Sun Shao very much.
This child is like his father, bold and strong.
Come on, Sun Shao is not to blame for what happened today. Even his mother asked him to play... Who would have thought that such a thing would happen in this area of Yecheng? Cao Peng was also very angry at the time, so he scolded him.
Sun Shao. But in the heart of the child, he may feel a little aggrieved.
Cao Ji ran away to play with the children!
Cai Yan and others gathered together, or whispered, and played a game of pot throwing.
Cao Peng thought for a while, got up and walked out of the side hall.
"Where's Shao?"
He found Ma Su, who was on duty tonight, and asked softly.
Ma Su: "Master Sun seems to be a little depressed today, so just now Master Deng, Zijun, and Master Xu took him to the school grounds to practice martial arts... Master, what happened? How about I go find him?"
"Forget it, I'll just go by myself."
Cao Peng waved his hand and walked straight to the school grounds.
In the distance, I heard a shouting and shouting, and the white wax pole was struck, making a thumping sound.
So he stopped on the sidelines and watched.
A bright moon hung high in the sky, and the fight was in full swing.
Wang Ping and Xu Gai fought against Sun Shao. Two white wax poles made wind and rain impermeable, forcing Sun Shao to retreat steadily.
Deng Ai was watching the battle, and there were several people standing around him.
Cao Wan is also here, cheering for Sun Shao enthusiastically.
Cao Yang and Jiang Wei, on the other hand, were pointing and talking in low voices from time to time.
If fighting alone, neither Wang Ping nor Xu Gai would be Sun Shao's opponent. But if the two of them join forces, Sun Shao will inevitably struggle. Even though he is born with supernatural powers and has obtained the true inheritance of the Ma family gun, his age is there.
Neither Wang Ping nor Xu Gai are weak in fighting alone, and they are only one step behind Sun Shao.
The two of them joined forces, and Sun Shao gradually couldn't resist it.
After more than ten rounds, Xu Gai took a chance and knocked Sun Shao down with one stroke.
"Unfair, unfair..."
Cao Wan shouted loudly, "If the two of us join forces, we won't be victorious. Brother Shao, if we fight them again... Wei, Jiujin, if you two go over and help, we will definitely defeat them both."
Jiang Wei and Cao Yang were immediately eager to try.
Jiang Wei is nine years old, slightly older than Cao Yang.
However, Cao Yang had a good foundation, and Hua Tuo soaked it with potions, plus he had been connected with Wu Qin Xi and White Tiger Seven Transformations, and this foundation was very solid. He was only eight years old, but an ordinary child of thirteen or fourteen years old was no longer his opponent.
He inherited the genes of Cao Peng and looked like a teenager. His White Ape Tong back fist and Tiangang spear skills made him superb. More importantly, he also got Pang De, Gan Ning, Dian Wei and Huang.
Zhong's biography can be said to be the best of hundreds of schools of thought, with extraordinary skills.
However, Cao Yang is a bit reserved and looks a bit shy.
He listened to Cao Wan's words the most. He walked to the weapons rack and picked up a white wax pole one foot or two feet long.
Jiang Wei also stepped forward, picked up one, and stood side by side with Cao Yang.
Xu Gai looked at it and frowned.
These two men are no easier to deal with than Sun Shao. Although their martial arts skills are not as good as Sun Shao's, they are better because they have grown up together and have a tacit understanding of each other. More importantly, both of them are not weak in martial arts. If they really want to fight, plus
The last one, Sun Shao, was really in trouble. Xu Gai had seen Jiang Wei and Cao Yang doing things outside before. These two people were not showy people, but Cao Wan was very difficult to fight with.
Back in Xudu, we had many fights, and Xu Gai also saw it with his own eyes...
Just then, I suddenly heard a cough.
Cao Peng came out of the darkness and walked slowly to the field.
“It’s Chinese New Year, if you don’t have fun, why are you here competing in martial arts?
Shizai, take everyone down... Wan'er go back quickly, mother was just looking for her, don't let her get anxious."
The appearance of Cao Peng made the children immediately calm down.
Even though he is usually very gentle, he has been in a high position for a long time. With one order, he can make thousands of heads fall to the ground and blood float on the rafters. That kind of magnanimity is not something that a bunch of children can resist. Even Cao Wan quickly agreed and pulled him. Cao Yang and Jiang Wei ran away.
"Shao stays, Shi Zai and everyone go back."
"Here!"
Deng Ai and others did not dare to refuse, so they quickly intervened and left as ordered.
Sun Shao stood aside, his mouth pursed and his head lowered, exuding a stubborn air.
Cao Peng stepped forward and reached out to help him brush off the dust on his clothes, but he saw Sun Shao instinctively turning aside and hiding away.
"Feeling aggrieved?"
"No!"
"Why are you holding your neck?"
"..."
Sun Shao protested silently.
Cao Peng smiled and patted Sun Shao on the shoulder.
"Sit down with me and talk... I remember that we haven't had a good talk since you came to my place."
After Cao Peng finished, he walked directly to a bench on the sidelines and walked down.
This bench was specially made by him, and there was a big umbrella erected behind it. Sun Shao hesitated for a moment, then came over and sat down next to Cao Peng. The two stood side by side, looking at the empty school ground in silence. Speechless.
After a long while, Cao Peng suddenly said: "If I remember correctly, he is the same year as Shi Zai."
"Um!"
"So, do you have any words for me now?"
"Well……"
"If you like, I'll give you one as a gift.
He is the eldest son of the Sun family, what if he is called Bowen?"
Grandson's eldest son?
This title is somewhat distant.
There may not be many people in Jiangdong who still remember him as the eldest son. When people say that the eldest son of Sun is the eldest son, they must think of Sun Deng, who was born only last year, and not Sun Shao. And in Jiangdong, when people come out of the country, the first thing they think of is Sun Quan.
Sun Shao's eyes turned red and he quickly stood up and said, "Thank you, Teacher, for the words."
"sit down!"
Cao Peng patted the bench and suddenly sighed.
"Bowen, do you have any impression of your father?"
"kindness?"
Sun Shao was startled. After hesitating for a moment, he shook his head.
When he was born, Sun Ce was busy with the war and could hardly live at home. When his mother gave birth to him, she died in childbirth, but Sun Ce was not around. Later, Sun Ce doted on Da Qiao and did not pay much attention to him. When Sun Shao began to really remember things, Sun Ce He has passed away and only has a very vague memory and the news he learned from others. As for Sun Shao himself, to be honest, he didn't have a deep impression of Sun Ce.
"The first time I met my father, he was one year old.
He was a very heroic and heroic man... At that time, I thought that I should behave like a overlord. But later, I changed my mind, especially after hearing the news of my father's death.
Bowen, do you know how I see my father?"
Sun Shao was startled and looked at Cao Peng in surprise.
Cao Peng smiled and said softly: "Bo Fu is very brave and has the air of a king.
However, there is only one overlord in this world, and Bo Fu can only be an overlord forever, but cannot become a true overlord. Does Bowen know what is the most important thing in order to become an overlord?
It's not about how powerful the force is, nor how powerful the ingenuity is, but about responsibility...
My father is just a reckless man with no sense of responsibility."
"Hu!"
When Sun Shao heard this, he stood up with an angry look on his face.
"My father is a hero of the world, and he is definitely not like that."
"Hero? What is a hero?"
Cao Peng heard this and laughed loudly, "Killing a few people, seizing a few cities, and becoming a prince is a hero? If so, there are too many heroes in the world. Whether he is an overlord or a hero, only one
Responsibility. Now the King of Wei, even Liu Bei, can be called heroes, and even Yuan Shao and Liu Biao can be considered heroes. But my father is not a real hero because he has no sense of responsibility."
"I may feel unhappy and uncomfortable with it.
But mine is the truth... As a hero, you should have the world in mind. Bo Fu was the lord of Jiangdong at that time, and he was concerned about the safety of Jiangdong. But he thought he was the bravest of the three armies, so he went to Chaisang alone, only to be ambushed by Xu Gong's retainers.
As for his body and death, he has no self-respect... How can a person who has no self-respect be considered a hero? A man was born in the world, wielding a three-foot green sword, and achieving unparalleled achievements in the world. His abilities are normal. But the problem is that at that time, my father was no longer just a hero.
He is one person, but he is involved in the fate of the entire Jiangdong.
From a big perspective, it was precisely because of his lack of self-respect and recklessness that Jiangdong was plunged into crisis.
And when the general comes from nowhere, he has an old mother above him and a wife and children below him.
He is obviously a prince, but he still wants to show off the courage of a man... He may be confident, but I think he does not respect himself. He is the lord of Jiangdong, his father, his mother's husband, and his grandmother's son, but he does not love himself.
This shows no sense of responsibility and is definitely not the behavior of a true hero."
Sun Shao is silent!
He really didn't know much about Sun Ce.
What I heard was nothing more than how brave Sun Ce was back then and how he bravely won the three armies...
But he had never heard of Cao Peng's argument. He had always regarded his father as his idol, but at this moment, he found that his idol seemed to be shattered.
"Do you know why I have to fight today?"
"I……"
“Promise not kept!
I also knew that it was my mother who asked me to leave... But how did you promise me when I went out?
I have to take good care of my mother, my aunt...
If I didn't agree, I would have nothing. But if I did, this is my responsibility! No matter how boring the process was and how much I didn't like it, I didn't do what I promised!
Just like at the beginning, my father vowed to restore the lintel of the Sun family.
But what’s the result?
He had no self-respect and no self-love, and his body and soul were destroyed, leaving behind orphans and widows, living a miserable life. The second uncle was in charge of Jiangdong, and he was wary of fear and suppressed him in every possible way. In the end, he had to leave his hometown, not because his father did not do his best.
Is it due to his responsibility? Have you ever thought about this?"
Sun Shao lowered his head and did not speak again.
Cao Peng sighed and stood up, "Bo Wen, do you have any ideals?"
"I, I want to take back my father's inheritance one day."
"What is father's inheritance?"
"Koto!"
"But let me ask, after ten years, how many people in Jiangdong are still there, who remember my father?"
Cao Peng said softly: "Even my uncle is not willing to help. In order to relieve his troubles, how many people do you think will obey my orders in the future? Bowen, like me, is not a person who wants to be the leader of a party. Instead of doing something that cannot be accomplished,
Goal, it is better to think about something more practical...
For example, how to make myself stronger, how to let my mother and sister live a better life.
Now Jiangdong is Sun Quan's grandson, not Sun Ce's grandson.
It is better to think carefully about how to fulfill the responsibility of a good son and make his mother happy."
Cao Peng, I will say no more.
He patted Sun Ce on the shoulder, turned and left.
Little did he know that in a corner of the school grounds, Mrs. Qiao and Sun Shangxiang stood in a daze.
She looked at Cao Peng's back, and then at Sun Shao who was in a daze. Mrs. Qiao's eyes were red, and her teeth bit her red lips gently. After a long time, she sighed, pulled Sun Shangxiang and turned away. .
The first day of the first lunar month is destined to be an uneventful night.
Huan Lang and his men came to the county house to ask for someone, but Bu Zhao beat him out.
"This Buzishan is so rude!"
Huanqiu couldn't help but cursed loudly and said to his father Huanlang: "Father, Bu Zishan is so rude, it is obvious that he doesn't take him seriously. If he does this, how can we gain a foothold in Yecheng in the future?"
Who knew that Huan Lang's backhand would be a slap in the face.
"This beast is the cause of trouble. Why bother with Cao, King of Hell?"
Huanqiu is so big and has never been beaten like this before, so it suddenly broke out...
"It's not that I have no ability. I was afraid that Cao Peng would come to vent his anger on me.
If you have the guts to find out about Cao Peng, why take it out on me? Besides, I don’t know that they are Cao Peng’s family members. Even if the words are a little offensive, why is it like this? Cao Peng is so domineering, but he dare not speak out. , he only dares to be domineering at home... I don’t care, I won’t apologize to him. If I am afraid of him, I will go to my aunt to make the decision! I don’t believe it, no one can cure Cao Peng.”
After walking around the hill, he rushed out of the house.
Huan Lang opened his mouth to stop him, but when the words reached his lips, he swallowed them back.
Huanqiu's words were rude, but they were not unreasonable.
Yes, Cao Peng is powerful and awesome, but he is also a bit too domineering... Even if he beat me, he would just arrest him. After all, I am also Zuo Zhonglang General and Mrs. Huan's clan brother. But because of his status as a member of the Cao clan, he didn't take me seriously at all. It was really too much of a deception.
Do you want me to take my son with me and go to the door to apologize?
Don't even think about it...
No, if I can't say this, how can I gain a foothold in Yecheng in the future?
However, considering Cao Peng's illustrious reputation, Huan Lang still had some palpitations. He then thought, isn't it arrogant? Then let Mrs. Qiu Xun speak and see what she can do to me. I don't believe it, even Mrs. can't cure him?
To be honest, Mrs. Huan didn't want to get involved in this matter.
It took a lot of effort to find such a position as Zuo Zhonglang General for Huan Lang. If she hadn't felt that she was alone and the Jingxiang family had defected one after another, which made Mrs. Huan feel inexplicable pressure, she wouldn't have The reason why Huan Lang was promoted to such a position was because Cao Cao was weak and seemed to be more talkative than before. But even so, Mrs. Huan still felt tremendous pressure.
Everything is for Cangshu’s future!
Cao Chong has now left Yingchuan Academy, served as Marquis of Dongxiang, pretended to be Pinglu General, and Nanzhonglang General, and was valued by Cao Cao.
In the Battle of the Xiongnu River, Cao Chong joined the army and fought with him. He killed ten people and achieved good results.
However, Cao Zhang has already worshiped the generals of Zhonglang, Zhenbei, and Qiaohou, and has a high prestige in the army. As a result, whether Cao Chong can compete with Cao Zhang makes Mrs. Huan extremely worried. More importantly, as the
Cao Zhang's seniority is getting higher and higher, and he has gathered many cronies around him. In the past, Yuan Shao's surrendered generals, such as Zhang He and others, were very close to Cao Zhang. Qian Zhao, Jiang Yiqu and Guan Cheng also all surrendered to Cao Zhang.
Last year, Cao Zhang also invited Xu You, who had long since retired, as an adviser, and even worshiped Xun Yue as his teacher, and received Xun's help. Cao Zhang's team is also constantly expanding, and is far from being comparable to Cao Chong.
At the same time, Cao Zhi gradually emerged and gained the attention of Cao Cao with his extraordinary literary talent.
Cao Chong's opponents became more and more powerful, which made Mrs. Huan firm in her determination to recruit helpers for Cao Chong. Otherwise, she would definitely not let Huan Lang serve as Zuo Zhonglang. But she didn't expect that on the first day of the first lunar month, Huan Lang would
Mrs. Huan had already gotten the news that she had offended Cao Peng, and she was extremely dissatisfied.
She felt that Cao Peng was too arrogant!
That's right, your Majesty's favor.
His achievements are high and his reputation is resounding, but he cannot be so arrogant.
Huan Qiu found Mrs. Huan and made a fuss, which made Mrs. Huan feel upset.
"Cang Shu, what do you think we should do about this matter?"
Cao Chong took a sip of wine, pondered for a long time, and then said softly: "Young Master Huanqiu is in trouble, and it's best for your mother not to get involved. Cao Peng is currently in full arrogance. He Huanqiu provoked Cao Peng, so he deserves misfortune.
Mother, don’t forget that Cao Peng values his family the most.
Fu Jun learned from his mistakes back then. He, Cao Peng, even dared to kill Cao Peng after he finished his ambush, so how could he be afraid of Huan Lang? We can't come forward in this matter. As long as we come forward and don't lose face, we are more likely to cause trouble."
Cao Chong is now fifteen.
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Huan could not help but whisper: "Cang Shu, but that is my uncle after all."
“If there is not enough success, there is more than enough failure, so what’s the use of keeping it?”
Cao Chong's indifferent words indeed made Mrs. Huan's heart tremble for no reason.
Cao Cao once passed by, and Cao Chongliang Bo. I didn't think it was anything before, but today I saw it, and it was indeed the case.
However, without this ruthlessness, how can we accomplish great things?
Mrs. Huan was immediately relieved when she thought of this.
"It's just that Cao Peng can't succeed in this matter."
"how do I say this?"
"Anyway, that Huanlang is also a member of my mother's tribe. If I really interfere, I'm afraid it will chill the hearts of the tribe. And from the perspective of others, my mother can't even care about her own family, so how can she serve with peace of mind?
Therefore, the mother wants to take care of it, but she cannot interfere."
The child is indeed grown up!
From these words, it can be seen that Cao Chong's mind has matured.
But, what does it mean to take care of this but not to interfere?
Mrs. Huan looked at Cao Chong in confusion, but Cao Chong smiled, came to her side, and whispered in her ear.
"My mother must not show up for this matter.
Tomorrow morning, the child will go to the Marquis Mansion in Wuxiang to visit... No matter what, Cao Peng always has a teacher-student relationship with the child. If something like this happens, the child should also come forward to comfort the husband. Mother, do you think the child is right? "
