Dian Wei felt depressed and turned to ask Cao Peng, who was riding a horse beside him.
He was indeed depressed, and he had enough reasons to be depressed. After holding it in for a day, Dian Wei finally couldn't bear it anymore after leaving Pingyu!
In his opinion, Wei Yan was highly skilled in martial arts, and if he went to Xudu with him, he would definitely gain the trust of his lord.
And everyone had discussed this before, but in the blink of an eye, Cao Peng changed his mind. Speaking of which, Dian Wei and Wei Yan have a very good relationship. After all, it was Cao Peng and Wei Yan who rescued Dian when they were in Wancheng.
Wei. Could it be that Cao Peng was jealous of Wei Yan? Or maybe he was jealous, so he deliberately suppressed him? Dian Wei didn't quite understand the reason.
What surprised him the most was Wei Yan's attitude.
When Dian Wei told Wei Yan about this, his words made it clear: If you don't want to stay, I can refuse.
Unexpectedly, Wei Yan nodded enthusiastically and showed no displeasure at all.
What kind of medicine are being sold in the throats of Cao Peng and Wei Yan?
Cao Peng smiled and said softly: "Uncle Dian, do you think I kept Brother Wen here out of jealousy or other reasons?"
"Well……"
"Haha, anyone would think so, and it's nothing serious." Cao Peng lightly knocked the horse's belly with his feet, and the horse trotted for two steps before catching up with Wei Yan. The two rode side by side, and Cao Peng
Then he said seriously: "What kind of person does Uncle Dian think Big Brother Wen is?"
Dian Wei was startled, "He is a good man."
Cao Peng laughed heartily, "Brother Wen is a good man, and my nephew knows it well. Uncle Dian, do you know how to distinguish a general?"
"have no idea."
"I think there are two types of generals.
One is to fight on the battlefield, behead generals and seize the flag, and take the head of a general out of a million troops. I would call this kind of person a war general! They can fight and kill, but they don’t know the art of war, they don’t know how to run an army, let alone
You can't lead an army to fight. Uncle Dian, you are the most outstanding general... You have no problem killing people and fighting. But if you are asked to wield millions of soldiers, like Han Xin, who can turn his arms and be invincible wherever he points, you will be invincible.
That won't work. And this kind of person may not necessarily be braver than you, Uncle Dian, but he can command an army and conquer the world.
I call such people handsome.
They don't need to be very brave, and they may even be powerless, but they can be invincible and attack everything. The two complement each other. No matter how good the handsome man is, it will be difficult to achieve anything without a general; no matter how good he is,
A general will not be able to win without a handsome command. Brother Wen is very skilled in martial arts, but his real strength lies in his ability to run an army and lead an army.
If you stay with Duke Cao, you can certainly get close to him and even get many good opportunities. But in this way, Brother Wen will lose the opportunity to experience. But if you stay in Runan, with the attention of the prefect, Brother Wen can
Getting enough experience, for him, is the most desired result. There are many fierce generals around Duke Cao. It is enough to have a loyal general like you, Uncle Dian, to protect you..."
Dian Wei listened thoughtfully.
"If you hadn't seen clearly, Ah Fu, I would have almost ruined Wen Zhang's future."
After a long while, he sighed and reached out to pat Cao Peng on the shoulder.
"There are some things that you see further than I do."
Long term?
Cao Peng himself didn't think so.
If he didn't have the advantage of traveling through the crowd and knew Wei Yan's talents, he would definitely not do such a thing. How safe would it be if he had an awesome person with a high martial arts value by his side? But the problem is, if Wei Yan is left behind
, it will definitely not be good for his future. An outstanding person with extremely high force value is certainly a guarantee, but if this outstanding person can also lead an army, wouldn't it be more secure?
Cao Peng felt relieved secretly.
"By the way, uncle and grandson will be able to handle this matter well if they stay in Runan?"
Dian Wei suddenly remembered what happened to Deng Ji, and couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Cao Peng said: "A mere Cheng Yao can't stop his brother-in-law. If he can't deal with such a guy, he should just stay at home. Besides, didn't Governor Man give him a chance to make a decision?"
Right? Uncle Dian, just don't worry."
Dian Wei, then he stopped asking.
How did Deng Jihui deal with Cheng Yao? How could he unknowingly extract Cao Hong from the incident?
Cao Peng didn't know.
But he believed that this was not a big deal in the first place.
If it weren't for Cao Hong's involvement, Man Chong would probably send someone to kill him without hesitation. Letting Deng Ji handle it now is actually a test for Deng Ji. As long as Deng Ji can handle this matter properly,
Naturally, you will be favored and appreciated.
As long as Man Chong approves, Cao Peng's goal will be achieved.
-
After entering Yuzhou, Cao Peng could clearly feel the difference between Cao Cao's rule and Liu Biao's rule.
Under Jing Xiang's rule, the outside was tight and the inside was loose.
Although they appear to be tightly guarded, many county towns are actually controlled by local wealthy families. At least, this is the situation in Nanyang County.
However, under the rule of Cao Cao in Yuzhou, it was loose on the outside and strict on the inside.
On the surface, it looks peaceful. But in fact, Cao Cao's defense in various places is quite tight.
Although everyone in the family is famous, they are obviously in a state of dependence. Cao Cao has not only acquired Yuzhou for a short time, but it is obvious that he has Yuzhou in the palm of his hand.
In comparison, Liu Biao's methods are really inferior to Cao Cao's...
"Peng'er, what exactly is that gadget you are talking about?"
On this day, seeing that they were about to reach the junction of Runan County and Yingchuan County, Cao Ji caught Cao Peng in the car and asked nervously.
Cao Peng vowed to make a fortune for Cao Ji.
But what exactly is this wealth?
Cao Peng couldn't help but laugh when he saw his father's nervous look.
He stuck his head out of the car and shouted: "Brother Hutou, bring me the package on my horse."
Wang Mai was talking to Wang Meng. When he heard Cao Peng's call, he immediately rode over. Cao Peng's horse was being ridden by Deng Fan.
Xia Houlan gave instructions softly from the side, while Deng Fan turned pale and rode cautiously on his horse.
"Big Bear, you are so stupid!"
Wang Mai took off the package from the horse. Seeing Deng Fan's cautious look, he couldn't help but raise his snake spear and slap the horse's buttocks.
The war horse was frightened and suddenly let out a loud neigh.
Deng Fan's eyes widened and he couldn't help shouting on his horse: "Hutou, do you want to kill me?"
Before he finished speaking, the war horse reared up and ran wildly. Deng Fan was so frightened that he hugged the horse's neck and shouted loudly from time to time. Deng Juye and Madam Hong in the carriage behind heard the movement and looked over quickly. They saw Deng Fan lying on the horse, shouting loudly.
Yelling, looking so embarrassed...
Xia Houlan and two local heroes followed closely beside Deng Fan.
"Big Bear, straighten up, don't lie down... Yes, straighten up slowly... I'm not asking you to straighten up, hold your chest and abdomen, and concentrate your strength on your waist and hips... Don't use too much force... Don't relax, you are too relaxed
!Yes, that's it, hold the reins, don't be nervous, follow the essentials I told you before...Don't control it, find a way to comfort it, so that the horse can feel your heart..."
"Hutou, what are you doing!"
Wang Meng was so angry that he shouted loudly. Although Deng Juye and Madam Hong looked worried, they could only persuade him.
Wang Mai said: "When Afu learned to ride a horse, he learned it in one day! But look at Big Bear... he was too careful. If the horse doesn't start running, what can he learn? Afu said that if he puts himself to death, he will live.
If he continues to be so careful, he will never learn to ride a horse in his life. You see, at least he is much better now than before, and he can control the horse... If not, how many years and months will it take for him to learn? "
After the initial nervousness, Deng Fan gradually gave up his fear.
On the contrary, a kind of pleasure of galloping arose spontaneously, allowing him to gradually reach a certain agreement with the war horse.
Wang Meng was so angry that he wanted to buy Wang.
But he heard Cao Peng say: "Uncle, don't blame Brother Hutou. Otherwise, Big Bear would not be able to overcome the fear in his heart. Although it is a bit dangerous, the effect is good. Besides, with Xiahou and the others, Big Bear will not be in danger.
Uncle Ju Ye, Aunt Hong, please rest assured."
Wang Mai handed the package to Cao Peng, and Cao Peng retreated into the car.
Outside the carriage, Wang Meng's scolding, Wang Mai's defending, Deng Juye and his wife's persuading voices, and Dian Wei's hearty laughter could be heard.
"You kids... Big Bear has just started learning to ride a horse, why are you so anxious?
Your Uncle Ju Ye and Aunt Hong’s family only have one child, so if anything goes wrong, it’s up to you to explain to them.”
As he spoke, Cao Ji took the package from Cao Peng and opened it carefully.
Inside the package, there was a large square box. When the box was opened, there was a stack of drawings inside.
"What is this?"
"Dad, look, this is called a stirrup, and this is called a saddle... It's different from the flat saddle we use now. This ** saddle is called a high bridge saddle. When a person sits on a horse and clasps the stirrups with his feet, not only can he sit
It is more stable and can also improve combat effectiveness during combat.
Tell me, what would happen if you presented these things to Duke Cao?"
Cao Ji couldn't help but his eyes lit up when he heard this.
Although he is a blacksmith, he can still see the importance of these 'little gadgets'.
Holding the drawing, he looked at it for a long time and said softly: "To be honest, this thing is not difficult to build...Peng'er, did you come up with all this?"
Cao Peng laughed and said: "How can I have such ability! Aren't you that old immortal professor?"
God knows who the alchemist was back then, but now he has become Cao Peng's best shield.
I don’t know his name, I don’t know his whereabouts... Now that the situation is turbulent, he might have died long ago. This is called death without evidence!
Cao Ji is convinced.
"Then this is..."
Cao Ji picked up a piece of paper filled with words and looked at Cao Peng doubtfully.
Cao Peng hesitated for a moment, pointed to the simplified Chinese characters on it, and whispered: "Dad, this is the knife-making method taught to me by the old god. I was afraid of forgetting, so I recorded it in the heavenly book taught to me by the old god...
You must keep it well so that no one can see it. The words in the Heavenly Book are used by gods. If others see it, the child will probably... You are my father, so it is okay for you to read it."
Cao Ji shivered and his eyes widened.
He quickly covered Cao Peng's mouth and looked out of the carriage. He saw that the coachman was concentrating on driving the carriage and did not pay attention to their conversation.
He shrank back again and said softly: "Peng'er, keep this thing here with me. When you have time, you can teach me the content on it. After I learn it, I will burn it immediately... This thing shouldn't be
If people like us own it, if word spreads about it, it could lead to beheading."
Cao Peng nodded solemnly.
"Ah Fu..." Dian Wei's call came from outside the car: "I'm afraid we missed Sutou. It looks like we will be sleeping in the wild today."
Sleeping in the wild?
Cao Peng walked out of the carriage and said, "Uncle Dian, it's all up to you."
