In the middle of February of the second year of Jian'an, bandits attacked Langling.
The eunuch Man Chong personally led his troops to quell the bandit troubles and bring peace to Runan. However, almost at the same time, Cao Bo, the governor of the western part of Runan County, passed by Langling and found that Langling had grown into Yao and secretly colluded with the bandits. The western governor
After Deng Ji beheaded Lang's mausoleum and grew into Yao, he also found several letters between Cheng Yao and Huang Zu, the prefect of Jiangxia, from the county government. When Man Chong, the prefect of Runan, learned of the news, he immediately ordered people to rush to Xudu to report it.
At the same time, the Western Supervisor Deng Ji, the chief minister of Jialangling, took charge of the local area and waited for Xu Du's reply!
Who is Deng Ji?
Almost no one knows.
This man seemed to have suddenly jumped out of a crack in the stone, and there is no way to trace it. Anyway, Man Chong, the prefect of Runan, had great trust in this man.
At the same time, Cao Hong, who was far away in Ye County, Nanyang County, received a letter from Man Chong.
After reading the letter, Cao Hong couldn't help laughing loudly and said to his left and right: "Bo Ning has understood right and wrong. From now on, there will be no more people from Langling's faction."
In early March of the second year of Jian'an, Xu Du sent an envoy to Pingyu.
In the letter, Cao Cao praised Man Chong for his decisiveness in handling matters, and appointed Xun Ji, the eldest son of Xun You, the former Runan governor, minister, and military advisor to sacrifice wine, as the head of Langling, responsible for taking over Langling affairs. Later, when Xunji arrived at Langling, he
It was found that everything in Langling was operating normally and in order. After interrogation, it was discovered that before Xun Ji arrived, Langling had been managed by Deng Ji, the governor of western Runan.
So Xun Ji immediately went to Pingyu, wanting to pay a visit to Cao Tie, the governor of the west.
The answer I never expected to get from Man Chong was: Cao Yu, Deng Ji, the governor of the western region, returned to Xudu long before the Xudu envoy arrived.
"Is this Governor Deng from Xudu?"
Full of favors, smiling but not answering.
Xun Ji was a little disappointed, but also a little confused.
So he ordered people to make inquiries in the Runan Prefecture, and found out that no one in the prefecture knew this mysterious Deng Ji.
It is said that since Manchong took office, he has never appointed Cao Tie, the governor of the west.
So who is this mysterious man named Deng Ji?
With doubts in his heart, Xun Ji returned to Langling and immediately sent a letter to Xudu, asking his father Xun You to inquire about this person.
However, after writing the letter, Xun Ji faced a series of changes.
He didn't even have time to check the files, otherwise Xun Ji might have discovered that the files in Langling County were missing for eleven days.
And these eleven days are also the eleven days when Cheng Yao set up a private checkpoint...
In June of the second year of Jian'an, Liu Biao ordered General Deng Ji to leave Nanyang County and march to Langling. Xun Ji hurriedly joined the battle and was killed by Deng Ji!
The missing eleven-day dossier was also lost in the vast river of history.
The news of Lang Lingchang's murder did not attract too many people's attention.
Because at this time, everyone's attention was focused on the Wu Meng Colonel Wei Dianwei who came back from the dead and returned home after traveling thousands of miles.
A full month has passed since the defeat of Wancheng.
During this month, Cao Cao sent people to inquire about Dian Wei several times, trying to find Dian Wei's body, but there was no clue. Even Zhang Xiu of Wancheng didn't know if Dian Wei was dead. Anyway, Cao Cao said
Since Dian Wei did not come back, he was naturally happy to announce that Dian Wei was dead. For this reason, Cao Cao was extremely sad! He buried Dian Wei in his clothes and went there in person, crying bitterly in front of his soul.
In mid-February, Cao Cao even worshiped Dian Wei's eldest son Dian Man as his doctor and arranged for Dian Man to live in his own home. After the first seven days, Cao Cao ordered Dian Man to carry Dian Wei's clothes and coffin and return to Chenliu's hometown. Dian Man had just left.
How long has it been since Dian Wei came back?
So much so that when Cao Cao received Man Chong's letter, he cried with joy...
"Afu, Xu Du is ahead!"
Dian Wei Lema pointed straight ahead, with excitement in his words.
At this time, it was dawn. A fish-belly white light had just floated from the horizon. It was so hazy that only the outline of a city could be seen in the distance.
That is Xu Du!
After coming out of Heilvjian, the journey was smooth.
The rule under Yingchuan was relatively good, and it didn't take much time to get through this process.
After driving all night, they finally arrived in Xudu. Cao Peng could understand Dian Wei's excitement. For Dian Wei, Xudu was his home. But for Cao Peng, looking at the outline of the city in the distance, he
He couldn't be happy. There was a trace of confusion in his heart. He couldn't explain clearly, as if he was dreaming. Xu Du was right in front of him. This was the day he had been looking forward to.
But when he actually arrived at Xudu City, he felt inexplicably anxious.
"Uncle Dian, let's go."
Cao Peng's voice was strange, but Dian Wei didn't recognize it.
"Yes, let's go there quickly!"
The carriages and horses rumbled along, and they saw Xu Du getting closer and closer.
In the morning light, an ancient and majestic city appeared in Cao Peng's eyes. The tall, majestic, and undulating ancient city wall stood silently in the morning breeze. It was the outer city wall of Xudu. According to Dian Wei,
Xudu is divided into two cities: the inner and outer cities. The inner city is the imperial city, and the outer city is like a hill, surrounding the inner city... Cao Peng visited the ruins of Xudu in his previous life, but all he saw were ruins.
To be honest, if Dian Wei hadn't been there, Cao Peng wouldn't have been able to connect the ruins with the majestic city in front of him.
Travel through 1,800 years and walk in the era of the ancients!
This sounds very romantic, but it always makes people feel that it is a little unreal.
Taking a deep breath, Cao Peng urged his horse and caught up with Dian Wei...
Woo-woo-woo-
The whining trombone sound tore apart the silence of dawn.
In the distance, the city gate of Xudu opened wide, and a group of people and horses were seen rushing out of the city.
Those people came very quickly, like a black torrent, and arrived in front of Cao Peng in the blink of an eye.
The leader is a majestic and burly man, with a black black horse under his crotch. He is eight feet long and has a waist of ten girth. He has a bronze face and a striking mole on his forehead, which looks quite strange.
In ancient times, if some people were weird and ugly, they generally would not use the word "ugly" to describe them. Most of the time, they would use weird terms such as Xiongyi and Guoyi to explain the person's appearance.
Ordinary. This is both a custom and a kind of etiquette. For example, when describing Dian Wei in the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms, he only said that he had a fruity appearance. It sounds very beautiful, but when you see the real person, you will know what "fruit" means.
Yi'.
This burly man also looks very "resolute".
"Jun Ming, is it really you?"
The big man reined in his horse, and the black torrent behind him immediately stopped.
He was on the horse, looking at Dian Wei attentively, and his tone seemed particularly excited.
And Dian Wei jumped off his horse, walked a few steps quickly, and laughed loudly: "Zhong Kang, Xu Laohu... Hahaha, I, Dian Wei, am back!"
"I just said, little Zhang Xiu, how can I ruin the life of such a scourge like you?"
The burly man also got off his horse, walked a few steps quickly, and immediately hugged Dian Wei Peng.
He is slightly shorter than Dian Wei, and his figure is stronger and taller than Dian Wei.
The moment Dian Wei opened his mouth, Cao Peng silently took a few steps back and gave up a position. At the same time, he quietly whispered in his heart: Could this guy be the tiger idiot Xu Chu?
Cao Peng couldn't remember Xu Chu's cousin's name clearly.
There seemed to be a 'Zhong' or something. But he knew that Xu Laohu was Dian Wei's unique name for Xu Chu. Seeing Xu Chu and Dian Wei hugging each other, Cao Peng couldn't help but shudder. Such two sturdy men,
How many people would be disgusted by hugging him so tightly in broad daylight in future generations... At the same time, Cao Peng felt that the enthusiasm shown by Xu Chu was a bit fake!
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Xu Chu is a loyal and fierce general with extremely high martial arts value.
Anyway, at that time, many people felt that if Dian Wei was still alive, he should look like Xu Chu. So much so that later some people said that Xu Chu in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms was completely a naked god (i.e. Luo Guanzhong) based on Dian Wei's character
sketched characters.
This is not to say that Xu Chu is a fiction, because in history, Xu Chu was eventually promoted to General Wuwei, Marquis of Mouxiang, and his posthumous title was Zhuanghou.
The so-called outline actually means that the image of Xu Chu in the novel is not consistent with history.
Xu Chu, are you really that happy?
Anyway, Cao Peng wouldn't think so... Xu Chu was from Qiao County, and he was from the same hometown as Cao Cao. Unlike Dian Wei, he came from a powerful family. According to historical records, Xu Chu's clan had as many as a thousand people, and it was placed in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
, is definitely a big family that cannot be underestimated. He joined Cao Cao in the first year of Jian'an and was praised by Cao Cao as "my Fan Kuai".
Just because of Dian Wei's existence, Xu Chu has always been suppressed.
Dian Wei is dead, and he is the number one man in the Su Wei army, a well-deserved confidant. Now that Dian Wei is back, his position as the number one person in the Su Wei army cannot be preserved... Anyway, if this kind of thing is left to Cao Cao
Even if there is no grudge against Peng, he will never be so enthusiastic. This is why Cao Peng feels that Xu Chu is a bit hypocritical... As for what Xu Chu thinks? Cao Peng doesn't know.
Similarly, Cao Peng could only think this way and would not tell Dian Wei.
According to Dian Wei's character, if he said these words, he might be scolded by Dian Wei, or even said that he was "judging the heart of a gentleman with a villain's heart", thus alienating Cao Peng. This was not what Cao Peng wanted.
After seeing the results, he could only pay attention silently.
"Jun Ming, my lord is here too!"
"ah?"
Xu Chu took Dian Wei's arm and said, "Yesterday, my lord received a letter from Man Cheng and learned that you were returning today. He was so happy that he didn't sleep a wink all night.
No, I was ordered to come to greet you very early in the morning, and I was also told that I would personally welcome you back outside Xudu City."
Mancheng is not Zhang Mancheng of the Yellow Turban Thief, but Li Dian and Li Mancheng, the commander of Yingyin. Yesterday Dianwei and his party passed by Yingyin, and Li Dian also came to greet them. However, Dianwei was eager to return to Xudu at that time, so he rejected Li Dian
With his kindness, he led people around the city and traveled all night. It must have been that Li Dian saw that he could not greet Dian Wei, so he sent someone to Xudu to report the news. Speaking of which, Li Dian was also a famous person in the Three Kingdoms.
According to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Li Dian was the first to defect to Cao Cao together with Le Jin.
However, the real history is that Li Dian was only a county magistrate under Cao Cao at this time. Of course, Yingyin's status was different from other places, which also shows that Cao Cao valued Li Dian. However, the first person to defect to Cao Cao was Li Dian's uncle was named Li Qian. He later died at the hands of Xue Lan, a general of Lu Bu's tribe. The army was controlled by Li Zheng, Li Qian's son. Li Dian was just a member of the Li clan.
Li Qian? Li Zheng?
Cao Peng is really confused!
He didn't know whether it was true in the original history. Anyway, in Cao Peng's memory, there was no impression of Li Qian and Li Zheng.
Dian Wei was very excited when he heard that Cao Cao was outside Xudu City.
He didn't bother to greet Cao Peng and others, took Xu Chu's arm and walked to the bottom of Xu Capital City.
Fortunately, Xu Chu's subordinates did not leave Cao Peng and others aside. Instead, they stepped forward and led a group of carriages and horses towards Xu Chu at a gallop.
Dawn, the dawn of dawn.
A group of people lined up outside the gate of Xudu City, waiting quietly.
At the front was a man in brocade robes. He was not tall, probably less than 170 centimeters tall. He stood at the front, rubbing his hands constantly and looking excited.
His skin color is somewhat dark and his body is slightly bloated, which makes his limbs look a little short.
The long beard under the chin exudes an extraordinary temperament... When Dian Wei saw the man in brocade robes, he quickly let go of his hand, walked a few steps quickly, and knelt down in front of the man in brocade robes like he was pushing a mountain of gold over a jade pillar. "The last general, Dian Wei, has failed the lord's trust, please punish me!"
