Cao Thief

Chapter 609 Acacia (22)

Uh, made a mistake earlier.

Wang Shuang had already gone to Liangzhou, so Pang Ming was the only one who went to Sanhan.

Negligence, sorry!
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
Lu Lan's attitude was equally firm.

To be honest, Zhou Buyi, who lost his arrogance, will definitely belong to the level of a pink and tender young lady in future generations.Especially the dazed and helpless look on his face can make women feel pity.Lu Lan has been alone since she was a child. In her words, she really wanted to have a younger brother.It's a pity that this younger brother has never appeared, but there is an older brother who is eyeing her covetously.

Lu Lan was never willing to mention Lu Ji, as if she didn't bother to mention it.

She is very firm, hoping to take Zhou Buyi away.Even if such a child is released, he is afraid that he will be murdered sooner or later.

Zhou Buyi's parents entrusted her to Liu Xian.

As a result, Liu Xian came to Xudu, left Zhou Buyi in Xudu, and went to be the prefect of Wuling in a cool and unrestrained way.In the past two years, Zhou Buyi's family has hardly had any contact with him, which shows the family affection of his family.Who cares about an abandoned child who has lost its usefulness?I'm afraid that even that "kind-hearted" Liu Huangshu may not pay attention to such a small person as Zhou Buyi.

Xu Du couldn't tolerate him.

Jingzhou also couldn't tolerate him...

Although the world is as big as Kyushu, where can Zhou Buyi go?

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that only Sanhan can go.

Cao Peng felt like he was shooting himself in the foot.

Lu's Han Dynasty mission was about to return to Sanhan, so Lu Lan also took the opportunity to move out of Fengchehou Mansion and return to the mission's residence.For now, the Lv Han mission is no longer of concern.Everyone stared nervously at Sikong Mansion, wanting to know Cao Cao's attitude.

Fengchehou's Mansion once again attracted everyone's attention.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
When Cao Peng returned to Fengchehou's Mansion, it was already very late.

He reined in his horse and stopped in front of the Hou's mansion a little tiredly, but saw Du Ji running out in a hurry, and grabbed the horse's bridle.

"My lord, there is a Mr. Puyang who has been waiting in the mansion for a long time."

"Mr. Puyang?"

Cao Peng was startled, and quickly got off his horse.

In Xudu, there are quite a few people whose surname is Puyang.But there is only one person who has friendship with Cao Peng.

He hurried into the mansion and went straight to the study in the backyard.Sure enough, Puyang Kai was reading a book in the room, and Puyang Yi and Lu Mao were by his side.

"Mr. Puyang, why are you here?"

Cao Peng hurried into the room and bowed his hands in salute.

For this old man, Cao Peng also respected him a lot.Perhaps, Pu Yangyi's talent and learning were not as powerful as those historical heroes, but he was the first staff member to follow Cao Peng and Deng Ji.After returning from Haixi, Cao Cao wanted to enlist Puyang Kai as the master of Sikong.But Pu Yangkai refused, and instead chose to teach at the Tai Academy.With no power in his hands, Puyang Kai lived a very comfortable and unrestrained life...

He is over fifty years old, but looks hale and hearty.

The old man usually teaches, guides students, or just sings with those celebrities and Qingliu.

When I have nothing to do, I ran to Zhang Zhongjing and Hua Tuo for advice on how to keep in good health.So, don't look at people in their 50s, but with dark hair and hale and hearty.He is not deaf, his eyes are not dazzled, and he is very energetic when he walks.That indifferent life is exactly in line with the Taoist way of life.

Pu Yangkai laughed.

"Ah Fu, I came today to ask for something."

"Please tell me, sir."

"That's right, I was curious when I heard your remarks in Yuxiu Tower a while ago.

All my life, I have only wandered around the Central Plains, with ups and downs, and I think I have a wealth of experience.Now I hear you say that the world is so vast, so I am a little moved.It's just that it's too far away, so I'm afraid I won't be able to go there... After thinking about it, I heard that the Sanhan Lu family is in charge, so I moved my mind.I want to go to Sanhan, but I have no way to go.Therefore, I took the liberty to come here, and I would like to ask Ah Fu to introduce you. "

In Xudu City, not many people call Cao Peng 'Ah Fu' directly.

Apart from Cao Cao's gang, perhaps only Puyang Kai could call Cao Peng's nickname so casually.

In terms of age, Puyang Kai is the elder; in terms of seniority, Puyang Kai is the earliest veteran who followed Cao Peng.Therefore, Cao Peng not only does not feel disgusted by such a title, but even feels very kind.But if it was someone else, I'm afraid he might lose face and argue with others.

"Sir, do you want to go to Samhan?"

"Yes."

"Sir, you know that life in Sanhan is very difficult..."

"Bitter, can you survive the days when Chen Liu didn't have enough to eat?"

"This one……"

"Hehe, Ah Fu, I've already thought about it.

At my age, if I stay in the Central Plains, it is impossible for me to make any great achievements.Regardless of whether it is Sikong or you, there are a lot of talented people under him now.With my little ability, I may be able to teach people to read, do calculations, and look after the family, but it is impossible to say that I can make a big difference.

The Sanhan area is remote and needs our education.

I heard that the Lord of Lu Han is Miss Lu Lan?When I was in Haixi back then, I had some friendship.Going to Sanhan, I think the eldest lady will not make me hungry.However, it was easy for me to go to Sanhan, but An Xian and Zizhang were more or less uneasy.

An Xian now has three in twenty, and Zizhang also has double ten.

It's not a thing to always stay in Taiyuan Academy.I've heard people say, Ah Fu, you're going to release them later, can you bring them with you? "

An Xian is Pu Yang Yi, the son of Pu Yang Kai.

Zizhang was Lu Hao, who secretly crossed the river from Puyang and returned to Haixi, and then followed Puyangkai from Haixi to Xudu.

Cao Peng understood immediately.

Pu Yangkai was there to increase his knowledge, obviously to pave the way for his son.

In fact, based on the relationship between Puyang Kai and Cao Peng, it is not difficult to introduce Puyang Yi and Lu Hao to accompany them.The problem is, if Cao Peng is released again this time, it will definitely attract the attention of all parties.I'm afraid even Cao Cao will arrange people by his side.If so, can Pu Yangyi and Lu Mao get their day?He came over just now, and while chatting with Du Ji, he learned that Cao Peng was worrying about the counselors of San Han.

Pu Yangkai is not a quick-witted person, let alone a schemer full of tricks.

But he is better than someone who is calm in doing things and has experience in governing places.Nowadays, people often say that Haixi can be what it is today, thanks to the contributions of the three heroes.Deng Ji and Cao Peng do not belong to the Three Heroes, they are the ones in charge of the general direction.Bu Zhi, Dai Gan and Puyang Kai were the ones who actually handled the daily chores.The three heroes of Haixi are referring to these three people.Now, Bu Zhi has been promoted to the prefect of Wuwei and sits in one side.

Dai Gan, as early as the fourth year of Jian'an, when Sun Ce crossed the river and attacked Guangling, he died in Hailing County.

The rest, Puyang Kai, taught in Xudu Taixue.

After all, Cao Peng owes Puyang Kai a lot...

Pu Yangkai going to Samhan?

Cao Peng couldn't help hesitating.

Pu Yangkai smiled and said: "Afumo is worried about me, I am in good health now.

Also, I didn't go alone.Zhou Qi came to my house two days ago, and when he talked about Sanhan with me, he was looking forward to it.He is now teaching at Yingchuan Academy, and he is quite talented.Therefore, I am going to invite Zhou Qi to go together, at least we can take care of each other. "

Zhou Qi, Cao Peng's younger brother.

But he is much older than Cao Peng.

His family background is not high, he is a mountain folk, not even a commoner from a poor family.

But Zhou Qi does have talent and quick wit.

Cao Peng originally planned to let Zhou Qi go to Nanyang with him, but Zhou Qi refused.It can be seen that he is not a person who climbs the dragon and the phoenix, and wants to use his talents and learning to win fame and fortune.But the problem is, with Zhou Qi's current status, it is very difficult to get great use.

Even if it is of great use, it will be called Cao Peng's care.

Zhou Qi is a very self-respecting person, of course he doesn't want to be like this.If he went to Sanhan, Zhou Qi and Pu Yangkai would at least be able to gain a firm foothold.

"If so, thank you, friend."

Cao Peng took a deep breath, cupped his hands and bowed to Puyang Kai.

Then, he looked at Pu Yangyi and Lu Mao, smiled and said: "An Xian, Zizhang, to be honest, I will probably go to Nanyang County to serve as an official. If you two are willing, you can stay by my side for the time being and pretend to be engaged. If there is an opportunity in the future, I will let you show your talents."

Puyang Yi and Lu Mao also valued the opportunity that Puyang Kai won for them this time.

The two immediately bowed and saluted, "I am willing to follow the son and do the work of a dog and a horse."

"Then I'll go to Zhou Qi tomorrow and discuss it with him."

"That's right, Mr. Lao."

Cao Peng sent the three of Puyang Kai out of the gate of the mansion, and called Du Ji, and asked him to take his token to send the three of them back home.After all, Xu Du was banned at night, and without tokens, they couldn't walk on the long street.And Cao Peng, as the official interpreter, was in charge of the reception of the Lu family's Han Dynasty mission.Therefore, he holds the pass order arrow of Sikong Mansion in his hand, and can walk on the long street after entering the ban.

After sending Puyang Kai and the others away, Cao Peng returned to the study.

What happened to Zhou Qi reminded him...

The students of Wolong Valley Academy are mostly mountain people.These people will hardly have a bright future in their lifetime.Since Zhou Qi had such an idea, would other people have such an idea?There are hundreds of students in Wolong Valley Academy.Even with a one percent selection, some manpower can be gathered.If they can succeed in Sanhan, wouldn't it be possible for more mountain people to have a head start?

Thinking of this, Cao Peng immediately spread out a piece of paper with deer patterns and wrote down his thoughts.

After dawn, he will send someone to send this letter to Lu Hunshan and hand it over to Hu Zhao.Presumably Hu Zhao would not object, that would at least solve the problem of Lu Lan's lack of manpower.After all, the current Lu Lan really lacks helpers.

After dealing with this matter, Cao Peng finally put an end to his concern for the time being.

Although the mastermind has not yet been resolved, it can solve some urgent problems for Lu Lan.Under Lu Lan's staff, even small officials in charge of daily political affairs are scarce.Solve this problem first, so that Lu Han's government affairs can run normally, and then consider the matter of mastermind.

This kind of thing is really something that can be met but never asked for...

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++
At the beginning of November in the 11th year of Jian'an, the mission of Lu's Han Dynasty left Xudu on November [-] after completing the tribute.

They will travel long distances and rush to the Bohai Sea first.

Then board a boat from the mouth of the Haihe River into the sea and return to Seoul.

On the same day, the Sikong Mansion issued an imperial edict, appointing Cao Peng as the prefect of Nanyang County and adding the military governor.

And on the same day, an edict was issued to worship Cao Peng as Marquis of Wuting.

At this point, Cao Peng finally got a title.Although Cao Ji has long been the Marquis of Fengche, he is a miscellaneous Marquis after all, and he has not been given food.But Tinghou, it's different!That is a serious title of title, and it is accompanied by the salary of Shiyi, which is much higher than that of Fengchehou.And this title also officially shows that Cao Peng's family will enter the ranks of wealthy families...

It is not common to have two princes of one family in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Even though Cao Ji is only a miscellaneous marquis, he is a marquis after all.

Where is this Wuting?
Just north of Lianbao, beside Lingwu Valley.Wuting was originally established by Cao Peng in Hexi. It was reported to Xudu, but it was not approved.

At the end of the tenth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao officially approved the existence of Wuting when he returned to Xudu from Yecheng.

This Wuting is also the first pavilion in Hexi.

Cao Peng's title of Marquis of Wuting really aroused opposition from many people.A group of courtiers headed by veterans of the Han Dynasty wrote letters to oppose it.

It is not in accordance with the etiquette system to say that Cao Peng is a double prince.

Moreover, Cao Peng was still young, so he won the title of Marquis of Wuting, which is a bit too much.

Many courtiers of the Han Dynasty who accompanied the Han Emperor back from Chang'an have not yet obtained the title of Marquis of Ting.Why can Cao Peng be Marquis of Wuting?

Cao Cao ignored it at all.

After Lu Han returned to the imperial court, Cao Cao's prestige skyrocketed and his power grew day by day as Xun Yu enshrined Zen in Songshan.

He showed an unprecedented strong attitude, ignored all kinds of objections in the court, and directly ordered Cao Peng to be named Marquis.

In this way, Cao Pengke once again stood on the cusp of the storm.

"Why is Sikong so eager to put Ah Fu in the limelight?"

In Guo's mansion, Mrs. Guo couldn't help asking.

Guo Jia smiled, but did not answer.

Why so impatient?

Just because Sikong wanted to be prime minister...

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
Xudu, north of the city.

The sun shone brightly for several days, melting the snow and ice.

It was so cold that people couldn't help shivering.

"Gao Sima, when I return to Seoul, I would like to ask the old man to say hello to the king."

Cao Cao took all the civil and military officials to send the Lu's Han Dynasty mission to set off.Outside the Shili Pavilion, he ordered people to bring drinks to bid farewell to Gao Shun.

Gao Shun took the wine and drank it down.

"Sikong, take care."

"Gao Sima, take care."

After Gao Shun thanked Cao Cao, he turned over and sat astride his horse.

He turned the horse's head and returned to the team.But I saw Lu Lan sitting on the horseback, looking up, as if waiting for someone.

"He returned to Xingyang yesterday."

"what?"

"I just got the news that Mr. Cao is about to be appointed as the prefect of Nanyang County, so I returned to Xingyang in advance to prepare. Let's go on the road..."

Lu Lan showed a look of disappointment and nodded.

The convoy marched slowly under the protection of the guard of honor.The tiger and leopard rode ahead to open the way, stepped out with iron hooves, and the ice chips flew up.

This trip to Xudu has yielded a lot.

Not only has it been officially recognized by the court, but it will even receive a lot of material support.After the spring of next year, the imperial court will send a large amount of supplies to Sanhan.It also includes the agreed population of 10, which will greatly improve the situation of the Lu Han Kingdom in Sanhan.

At the same time, the arrival of Puyang Kai and Zhou Qi also satisfied Gao Shun.

Zhou Qi is Cao Peng's younger brother, I don't know how deep he is; but Pu Yangkai is indeed a good hand in handling government affairs.When Puyang Kai was in Haixi, he made great achievements.The most important thing is that Puyang Kai and Lu Lan have a good relationship, and they can be trusted by Lu Lan.

The chariots and horses marched, and in a blink of an eye, Xu had disappeared.

Suddenly, someone came to report that a soldier and horse appeared on the hill ahead.

Cao Zhenwen frowned, and quickly sent someone to inquire.

A horse came galloping from a distance, far away from the convoy, and shouted loudly: "Captain Cao, please don't misunderstand. I am a servant of Marquis Wuting, and I have been ordered to deliver a letter. Please meet Gao Sima."

Cao Zhen hurriedly stopped the soldiers, and saw that the horses were approaching.

The man right away is Du Ji.

Gao Shunzong came over immediately, Du Ji stepped forward to meet him, and took out a small bag from his bosom.

"Please Gao Sima pass it on to the lord of your country, my son, please take care of her."

"Thank you!"

Du Ji bowed on the horse, then joined hands with Cao Zhen, pulled the horse and left.

Cao is really at a loss, a little confused about the situation.When he wanted to inquire, Gao Shun turned his horse and returned to the mission team.

Opening the package, I saw a necklace made of acacia seeds inside.

The color of the acacia was slightly dim, obviously it was not picked temporarily.After all, in this cold and twelfth lunar month, how can acacia bloom?The necklace is wrapped in deer pattern paper, with a line of writing on it: red beans are born in the southern country, and a few branches will be sent in spring.May you pick more, this thing is the most lovesick.

In the winter of the 11th year of Jian'an, all my friends returned.

Suddenly feeling that there is a beautiful woman coming back, so I asked people to go to the market to buy [-] lovesickness sons.Every grain of lovesickness, even though the world is far away, I hope to win a smile from a beautiful woman.

Lu Lan had a sore nose, and a line of tears fell silently.

She was in the convoy, looking up at the hills in the distance, but saw a rider standing on the hills... the wind rolled up her clothes, fluttering and fluttering.Lu Lan's vision suddenly blurred!
