Cao Thief

Chapter 600 The Mystery of Life and Death (Please recommend tickets, monthly tickets for support!!!)
After Cao Pi's death, Cao Peng couldn't believe it for a while.

But after the news was confirmed later, he no longer doubted it.It's just...the life and death of Sima Yi made Cao Peng puzzled.

According to the news at that time: Sima Yi's whereabouts are unknown.

So, is he alive or dead?

This also made Cao Peng feel very worried!
Throughout the entire Three Kingdoms period, the person Cao Peng was most worried about was not Zhuge Liang, Zhou Yu, or Cao Cao... but Sima Zhongda, known as the tomb tiger.This guy is too tolerant, and he can endure too much... Cao Peng is intimidated by his deep scheming.

In fact, when he was in Crouching Dragon Valley, Cao Peng almost wanted to kill him twice.

But Sima Yi was extremely friendly to him at that time, so he couldn't be cruel.

Zhuge Liang?
The master who must do everything personally will not live long; Zhou Yu is also a short-lived ghost.

In Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao is a treacherous master.But if you get in touch with him, you can realize that he is actually a very real hero.At least compared to other heroes in history, Cao Cao is a character who can really laugh and scold with his heart.He doesn't care what outsiders think of him at all, once he sets his goal, he will move forward bravely.And the most important thing is that Cao Cao is very kind to the people around him, especially to his clansmen!Cao Peng is a member of Cao Cao's clan, so he doesn't have to worry too much about this...

Shi A smiled wryly: "Speaking of Zhong Da, Sikong also asked me about it.

However, I really don't know much about Zhongda's life or death.When Zhongqiu was attacked that day, Zhong Da was in the rear army, controlling the distribution of supplies, and was not with the prince.When we broke out, I saw a big fire in the supply camp, and I must have been attacked by Karasuma.Given the chaotic situation at the time, Zhong Da might have been in danger.But I can't be sure, Zhong Da has always been very calm.If the situation is not good, maybe he will withdraw early... But he has not appeared since then, so I guess he must have encountered an accident. "

Shi A did not hold back his opinion, and expressed his thoughts one by one.

However, this still couldn't dispel the doubts in Cao Peng's heart.

Sima Yi, is he really dead?

I do not believe!

Shi A also said that Sima Yi is a very calm guy who knows how to advance and retreat, and who knows how to seek good luck and avoid bad luck.Based on the situation at that time, if he saw that the situation was not good, he might withdraw immediately.In fact, this guy, with his ability to seek good fortune and avoid evil, killed Cao Cao, Cao Pi, Cao Rui, Zhuge Liang, and most of the people who were loyal to Cao Wei at that time.

Then, he took advantage of the momentum to rise up!

At this point, Sima Yi is better than Zhuge Liang.

Moreover, he knew how to cultivate talents. The famous generals of the Wei State in the late Three Kingdoms period, whether it was Du Yu or Yang Hu, were quite close to the Sima family.

It's not like after Zhuge Liang's death, the talents of Shu Han withered...

Such a person died like this?

If it was when Cao Peng was reborn, he might have believed it.But now, he doesn't believe it...

At the beginning, when Chang'an was in chaos, many people said that Li Ru was dead.But who would have guessed that Li Ru ran to Luoyang and lived in a completely different appearance.If it wasn't for Cao Peng's appearance, maybe Li Ru is hiding somewhere now, being a happy and happy rich man.Sima Yi may not be stupider than Li Ru, Li Ru was able to survive in such a chaotic situation in Chang'an, so didn't Sima Yi know how to avoid it?

The question is, if Sima Yi is alive, where is he?

This made Cao Peng feel a little headache!
It stands to reason that Sima Yi's father is still alive, and the Sima family belongs to Cao Wei as a whole, so it is impossible for him to disappear without a word.

unless……

He imitated Li Ru?
Cao Peng shuddered Lingling and sat up straight suddenly.

"Master, what's wrong with you?"

Sensing Cao Peng's reaction, Du Ji hurriedly asked in doubt.

"Bohou, if Sima Yi is not dead, why didn't he show up?"

"Sima Yi is not dead?"

Du Ji looked at Cao Peng suspiciously, and said softly after a while: "If Sima Yi is not dead, he must be afraid."

"Oh?"

"The son died in battle, but he is still alive.

I heard that when Sima Yi defected to Sikong, Sikong didn't have a good impression of him.But later, it was Mrs. Bian's strong recommendation that he became the son's aide.If he appeared in front of Sikong alive, Sikong would kill him.Even though Sima Yi's father, Sima Fang, had been kind to Sikong, he might be helpless in this matter, and he couldn't save Sima Yi's life... Shi A was crippled in the battle, and his tendons were still severed.Then if Sima Yi was alive, he might be...so he didn't show up. "

Cao Peng nodded.

It's very possible!
Although Shi A couldn't be compared with Sima Yi, if Cao Cao really wanted to kill, Sima Yi really wouldn't be able to live.

"Bohou, if he is alive, where will he hide?"

"It's hard to say." Du Ji smiled and shook his head, "The Sima family is a big family in Hanoi, with many relatives. It has been an official for three generations, and there are still some former students. However, if I were Sima Yi, I would have caused such a big problem Because, even Sima Fang may not be able to protect him thoroughly... The Sima family is huge and has many generations of officials. Its foundation is in Wen County, but..."

"but what?"

"I vaguely remember that Sima Shuping, the great ancestor of Sima Yi, was the prefect of Yuzhang; Sima Liang, the son of Sima Shuping, also served as the governor of Yuzhang... Generally speaking, there are very few officials in the same place for two generations. The Sima family has been officials in Yuzhang for two generations, and their foundation is not trivial. Although the next two generations did not follow the Yuzhang, their foundation cannot be eliminated by two generations. Does the Sima family have a root in Yuzhang? If so, then I, in the name of Sima Fang, will send Sima Yi to Yuzhang to hide his identity and accumulate strength for the opportunity."

"Yuzhang?"

That's Jiangdong's territory.

Yuzhang County was founded in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, it led 21 counties and definitely belonged to the list of Shangjun.But later, Sun Ce divided two counties to lead Luling County; after Sun Ce's death, in the tenth year of Jian'an, that is, in the previous year, Sun Quan divided Yuzhang County into Pengze County and Poyang County, and divided Yuzhang County into four .Since Yuzhang is an important place for the navy, Sun Quan attaches great importance to it.All the officials are confidantes.

Even if Cao Cao sent people to Yuzhang to search, they might not be able to find the foundation of the Sima family.

What's more, with Cao Pi's death, Cao Cao doesn't seem to want to pursue responsibility, so Quanzuo Sima Yi is dead, so don't ask anymore.

And Sima Clan, it seems that Sima Yi does not exist.

But, does it really not exist?

Cao Peng took a deep breath, and suddenly felt that a stone was pressed in his heart, and he felt heavy and out of breath.

Forget it, and put this matter aside.

Let's inquire about it later...

Thinking of this, Cao Peng drank the drink in front of him in one gulp, then looked at Shi A and asked, "Boss Shi, are you willing to stay by my side?"

"Shi Ayi is useless, Mr. Meng will not abandon him, he is willing to take him in, how dare he refuse."

Shi Ah also figured it out!

Cao Peng is not afraid, so what is he afraid of?
He raised his glass and drank it down, "Although I have a disabled hand and a limp...but I have stored everything I have learned in my head. If you can use my Shi A, you can just order me. I won't say anything else. At least lead the horses and stirrups, Shi A would also do it, but I hope you will not give up."

Leading a horse with stirrups?
That's overkill.

Cao Peng said: "Since that's the case, Boss Shi will stay here first, don't be restrained.

As for what to do, it's up to you.But I still say that, although your right hand is disabled, you still have your left hand; although you are lame, you can still ride a horse.There is no need to underestimate yourself. I believe that the disciples taught by Master Wang are definitely not people who just give up casually.

Come, let's drink this cup to the brim, there is still work to do tomorrow. "

Du Ji and Shi A did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly toasted and drank.

The Bronze Jue slammed heavily on the table. Cao Peng stood up and walked to the door with his hands behind his back. After a while, he suddenly said, "It's windy!"

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++
Summer and autumn intersect, and the wind is the most normal.

In the early morning, Cao Cao put his hands behind his back in the garden and listened to the report of the sheep.

"In this way, Ah Fu can be regarded as bullying the small with the big."

Yang Qin smiled, "It's not really a big bullying the small, but it was indeed a blow to Zhou Buyi's prestige. However, the things he said at the banquet were unimaginable. The overseas barbarians really have Is there such a high scholar who has seen people? I still feel that this matter is a bit mysterious... Europa, Greece... and that Aristotle, I have never heard of it."

Cao Cao smiled and shook his head, "Zilu, if you haven't heard of it, it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Ah Fu is a cautious person, and it is absolutely impossible to talk nonsense without a target.Since he dared to say this in public, it must be true.Hehe, if you don't know how big the world is, how can you talk about the affairs of the world?Ah Fu's words are good, and I am also very interested.

At least the Great Qin Kingdom, as well as Persia, did exist.

Well, if the war in the north is over, I would like to send a team of envoys for a mission.Just as Ah Fu said, I went all the way from the Western Regions, so I could take a look at the world outside Kyushu.Ha ha, maybe there will be surprising gains.

It's just that I'm a little strange, how did Ah Fu know these things?
And the "History" he mentioned, and the "History of the Peloponnesian War", what kind of book is it?It must not be an ordinary article to be highly praised by Ah Fu.If there is a chance, I really want to see it, I really want to see it..."

While speaking, Cao Cao's face revealed a look of leisurely fascination.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++
Cao Peng didn't know how much repercussions his words in Yuxiu Tower had caused.

The next day, Kong Rong came to visit with Ying Ju, and asked carefully whether the things Cao Peng said existed.

Cao Peng, of course, affirmed it.

When Kong Rong asked how he knew, Cao Peng was also prepared.

He followed suit and pushed this matter to the immortal elder whom he had never met before.However, he didn't mention Zuo Ci's name, but anyone who knows Cao Peng's past will know that when he was young, he was taught by a Taoist, and he has the miscellaneous learning that he has today.

Kong Rong couldn't help but be fascinated by that Taoist priest.

He came to Cao Peng for another matter.

That is, I hope Cao Peng can introduce Ying Ju.For Cao Peng, this is not a difficult task, whether it is his brother-in-law Deng Ji, his father Cao Ji, or Xun Yu from Shang Shufu, or Sikong Cao Cao, in fact, it is just a matter of one sentence.

However, Cao Peng didn't want to recommend this one of the Seven Sons of Jian'an to others.

He is about to go to Nanyang and needs a lot of manpower to form a team.

Although, he has already recruited Du Ji, and sent people to Dongjun to second Deng Zhi to Deng Ji.By the way, there is another Lu Yu and Lu Zi's family who I don't know if they can be recruited. They have done everything they can, and there are only three people.This is far from enough, definitely not enough... I think when he was in the Northwest, but in the five counties of Hexi, how many talents did he gather under his command?Pang Tong, Xu Shu, Meng Jian, Pang Lin... His huge staff also enabled him to smoothly quell the chaos in the Northwest.Today, the situation in Nanyang County is far from comparable to that in Hexi County.

A staff team of only three people is definitely not enough.

Ying Jun, although he doesn't know about his other abilities, but with his name of the Seven Sons of Jian'an, it is more than enough to do a career.

So Cao Peng intends to keep Ying Yu for his own use.He didn't want to reorganize his staff after coming to Nanyang in the future.

Therefore, he enthusiastically extended an invitation to Correspondence, letting him live in Fengchehou's mansion temporarily.

"Delian and I hit it off right away, and we should hang around in the morning and evening.

If Delian doesn't give up, how about I stay here now, and introduce Delian after I welcome Lu's Han Kingdom in this period of time? "

Kong Rong and Ying Jue also knew that Lu's Han Kingdom would arrive soon.

It is said that they have joined Cao Zhen's tiger and leopard riders, and they will arrive in Xudu tomorrow at the latest.

Cao Peng has just been appointed, so there must be many things to deal with.Now that he has agreed, then naturally there is no need to worry, all you need to do is wait patiently.At the same time, Ying Jue was also very moved by Cao Peng's invitation.After thinking about it, he agreed.

At noon, Cao Peng went to visit the mansion of Dahonglu Liu Ye.

Cao Ji and Liu Ye had a friendship, and they often drank together before.But at that time, Liu Ye felt that he had no room to display his talents, while Cao Ji was quite at ease with the situation.Today, Cao Ji is the governor of Liangzhou and sits in the northwest of Liangzhou. He has become a senior member of one party.

As for Liu Ye, he was too busy.

At the beginning of the year, he first went to Xianbei as an envoy, and reached an alliance with Ke Bineng, a master of Xianbei in the central region.

Then as soon as he returned to Xudu, he heard that Lu's Han Kingdom was about to join him.This is a big event...Since the year of Yongyuan, nothing like this has happened.For the imperial court, it is undoubtedly a very happy and good thing for foreign countries to vote and ask for submission.

After years of war, there is also a need for good news that can inspire people...

When Cao Peng arrived at the Liu Mansion, Liu Ye was very busy.

Receiving foreign envoys is an extremely serious matter.According to this etiquette, every step cannot be deviated, and careful deduction is required.When Liu Ye saw Cao Peng, he was overjoyed.He took Cao Peng's hand and blamed him, "Youxue, why are you late?"

Before Cao Peng could explain, Liu Ye pulled him and walked into the study.

"If you don't come again, I will send someone to look for you." As he spoke, he took out a token, handed it to Cao Peng and said, "You take your support and leave immediately, and you must arrive at Changsha before dark. Tonight, I will stay overnight at the Changsha, you go to greet me, and return tomorrow with the mission."

"In such a hurry?"

Cao Peng was surprised and said: "Uncle, I also know the importance of the Lu family's surrender to the Han Dynasty, but this welcome ceremony... Logically speaking, Xingrencheng should be in charge, why do you want me to go?"

Liu Ye looked weird, and after a while he said softly: "I know it's against the rules, but this is the request of the envoy of the Lu family!"

Cao Peng suddenly realized...
