Cao Thief

Chapter 709
Since the beginning of winter, the weather has been unpredictable.

Sometimes it was sunny and sometimes cloudy. It seemed that it was going to snow several times, but in the end, there was not even a single snowflake.However, on the day Cao Cao arrived in Xiangyang, the first snow finally came.Snowflakes as big as goose feathers began to fall one after another in the afternoon, and did not stop after nightfall.Cao Cao did not live in the prefecture, and still let Mrs. Cai, mother and son stay there to live... He also heard a lot about what happened in Xiangyang during this period.Including Cao Peng's acceptance of Liu Cong as a disciple, Cao Cao is also very clear.

Cao Cao didn't pay much attention to this matter.

The purpose of Mrs. Cai's actions is very obvious, she wants to find a backer...

Cao Peng is the most favored trilogy under his account, and the literary title is out of the question, so it is reasonable for Madam Cai to arrange it this way.

Before arriving in Jingzhou, Cao Cao had already thought about the arrangements for Mrs. Cai's mother and child.Liu Cong will inherit the title of Marquis of Wu from Liu Biaocheng, pay homage to Zhonglang General, Yilang, and Jiazhu Ye Xiaowei, reward five hundred households in Shiyi, and stay in Xingyang.This can be regarded as Cao Cao selling Cao Peng's face.You see, I still take good care of your students... Of course, these positions basically have no power.

Whether it is Marquis Chengwu or Yilang, they are all vain jobs.

As for Captain Zhuye, as the name suggests, he was in charge of smelting weapons and in charge of the Heyi Workshop.

But the problem is that Liu Cong doesn't understand these things at all, and it is impossible for him to intervene in the specific affairs of Daohe No. [-] Workshop, which is still a false job.

Cao Peng lives in Xingyang, and you, as Cao Peng's disciple, will stay there honestly for me.

Everything you need, you won't miss half a point.And in Xingyang, with the name of Cao Peng, the local officials will not embarrass Liu Cong.

Mrs. Cai, mother and son, are very happy about this.

Although there is no power, there is still a lot of glory and wealth.

The most important thing is that Cao Cao acquiesced in Liu Cong's worship of Cao Peng as his teacher, which is tantamount to adding a guarantee to their mother and child.

However, Cao Cao was not happy.

"Prime Minister, Youxue has been kneeling outside for a long time."

"I know."

Cao Cao walked to the door and looked out through the gap, and saw goose feathers and heavy snow falling one after another, whitening the sky and the earth.In the courtyard, Cao Peng was shirtless, with a few thorns on his back, kneeling there alone, looking as pitiful as he could be...

The dissatisfaction in his stomach seemed to be reduced a lot at once.

Cao Cao gritted his teeth and said, "If you don't teach him a lesson, he won't know the heights of heaven and earth.

In the past, I indulged Lu Bu's family, and I spared his life; but now I am even more arrogant, even Liu Bei's family, including his children, are too arrogant. "

Cao Peng can't hide from Cao Cao about Liu Bei's family.

There are so many people at the head of Dangyang Bridge, there are tiger and leopard riders, and there are ordinary Cao soldiers and Cao Jun.Who can guarantee that there are not many confidantes of Cao Cao in it?Before Cao Cao arrived in Xiangyang, he heard about this incident.When he learned that Cao Peng had secretly abused Liu Bei's family, he was furious!
But don't get me wrong, Cao Cao doesn't feel sorry for Mrs. Gan and the others.

Although he is lustful and loves his wives very much, but most of them are you and me, and he seldom acts compulsively.He also captured Liu Bei's wife back then, but didn't he return it to Liu Bei in the end?Of course, at that time Cao Cao wanted to recruit Liu Bei, but he didn't understand the reason why his wife and children were not as bad as the disaster.If he had no other choice, he would rarely do that kind of extermination.Don't look at the fact that in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the whole family is copied and killed at every turn... In fact, when Cao Cao was in power, he would not issue such an order unless he had to.

Cao Cao was angry because he was angry at Cao Peng's reckless behavior.

Even if I want to let Liu Bei's wife and children go, I should do it...

Fortunately for you, you didn't even notify me, so you let him go on the battlefield.If you are greedy for beauty, I can accept it.But you just made such a bold move for a general.If you don't teach Cao Peng some lessons, won't he lose his law in the future?
Cao Cao has already made up his mind that when he arrives in Xiangyang, he must teach Cao Peng a lesson.

Unexpectedly, before he could open his mouth, Cao Peng would deliver it to his door.And it still looks like a pleading guilty, kneeling outside shirtless.This also made Cao Cao feel a lot better... I thought you were so bold, but it turns out that you are also afraid.

In this way, Cao Cao felt more comfortable.

He said to Xu Chu who was on duty by his side: "Zhongkang, tell that bastard to report to me."

In the past two years, the chances of Xu Chu and Dian Wei to fight have gradually decreased.But whenever there is a war, the two generals Hum Ha are like two door gods, they will definitely follow.As for Cao Cao himself, the same is true!Without Dian Wei and Xu Chu by his side, he would feel very unsafe, and even couldn't sleep all night.

It happened that Xu Chu was on duty today, so he walked out of the room and came to Cao Peng with a smile.

"Youxue, the Prime Minister wants you to report to the door."

Generally speaking, this report is an extremely insulting order.It's just that for Cao Peng, there are no outsiders in this small courtyard.Cao Cao still saved face for him, and let a group of guards evacuate early, only his confidants followed.

Therefore, this "reporting to the door" is more to warn Cao Peng than to insult.

Cao Peng knelt in the snow for a long time, it was really cold.It's also because of his good health. Over the years, he has practiced Wu Qin Xi and the Seven Changes of the White Tiger, which has greatly improved his physique and allowed him to persevere.But even so, kneeling in the snow for a long time, he still knew that his face was pale and his lips were blue.Hearing Xu Chu's words, he stood up quickly.But his body was so stiff that he almost fell over.

Xu Chu stretched out his hand to support Cao Peng.

"You child, why... Every time you are released, you do a good job, but you always cause trouble."

"This one……"

"Okay, okay, let's go in."

Cao Peng moved his limbs, coughed, took a step forward, and said loudly, "The last general, Cao Peng, pays homage to the prime minister."

There is no movement in the house!
"The last general, Cao Peng, pays homage to the prime minister."

Cao Peng took another step, but there was still no movement in the room.

Just like that, Cao Peng yelled seven times in a row, and Cao Cao finally said, "You bastard, don't come in yet."

Cao Peng walked into the room in three steps and two steps at a time. Two schoolboys greeted him. One untied the thorns from his body, and the other held a cotton robe and put it on Cao Peng's body.The little school put the stick beside Cao Cao, smiled at Cao Peng, and exited the room.

In the room, only Cao Peng and Cao Cao were left.

Cao Peng stood in the room, trembling all the time.The snowflakes on the head melted into water, slid down the cheeks, and dripped on the floor.

In the house, there are six braziers, which make the room very warm.

Seeing Cao Peng's distressed appearance, Cao Cao suddenly laughed, picked up a dry face towel from the big chair, and threw it to Cao Peng.Cao Peng quickly took it over, wiped his face, and dried his wet hair.Carefully put the face towel aside, then prostrated himself on the ground, and said respectfully, "Thank you uncle for not killing me."

"When did I say I won't kill you?"

"My uncle gave Peng a facial scarf because of his love for him.

If you want to take your friend's life, how can you do this? "

"I just want you to die decently."

After Cao Cao finished speaking, he couldn't help laughing again.To Cao Peng, for some reason, Cao Cao just couldn't bear the slightest bit of anger.He took a deep breath and asked rather dumbfounded: "Okay, now tell me, why did you let Liu Bei's family, wife and children go?

I heard that you did this for a general? "

"Uncle, what's the use of being a child of Liu Bei's family?"

"This one……"

Cao Cao was startled and scratched his head, "There must be something useful."

"Uncle, you should know that Liu Xuande is the most heartless man in the world.

He can say 'Wives are like clothes, brothers are like siblings.The clothes are torn, but they can still be sewn, and the limbs and feet are broken, and the words of An Kexu' show that he doesn't take his wife and children seriously.This person is a hero, good at selling fame and fame.It doesn't make much sense for the prime minister to deduce it with common sense.

Even if he got his family, wife and children, he would not let him yield.

On the contrary, it will also make the prime minister infamous; kill them, it will be ominous; "

Cao Cao looked at Cao Peng, noncommittal and silent.

Cao Peng continued: "Uncle should know, Xiahou Ziyou?"

"You mean, Xia Houlan, the captain of the Hexi command army, that Xiahou Ziyou who lost a bet with you back then and became your retainer?"

"Exactly."

"Under Liu Bei's tent, there is a mighty general who is extremely brave.

This person's name is Zhao Yun, and he came from the same sect as Master Ziyou.Ziyou once asked his nephew that if he meets Zhao Yun, it is best to persuade him to surrender... However, Zhao Yun is stubborn, and I don't know what he thinks of Liu Bei, and he is loyal to him.The younger nephew saw that he was very skilled in martial arts, and couldn't bear to ruin his life.In addition, Ziyou had entrusted him with the entrustment, and after much deliberation, the little nephew could only use this method to make him surrender...

However, there is another meaning for the little nephew to let Liu Bei's family go. "

Cao Cao said: "You have a perfect tongue...I want to hear what you can say with a smooth tongue."

Cao Peng took a deep breath: "As far as my nephew knows, Liu Bei's account is not of one mind.

Liu Bei raised his troops from Zhuojun, rose up in Xuzhou, moved to the north, and finally settled in Jingchu.Its trilogy comes from all corners of the country, and there are many contradictions among them.Before that, there was Xun Chen, so Liu Bei didn't need to worry about these things. Xun Chen was enough to suppress many contradictions.But now, Zhuge Liang is Liu Bei's mastermind. He is resourceful and resourceful.It's just that although he has high talents, his qualifications are low.After Liu Bei came to Jingchu, he recruited troops and recruited good ministers.As a result, it also caused conflicts between his old troops and the Jingxiang scholars.Before that, Mrs. Gan gave birth to a son named Liu Chan; and Mrs. Xiang San also gave birth to a son named Liu Li.

For this reason, who is the second son, there are many conflicts in Liu Bei's trilogy...

Now let them go back, just to let Liu Bei's account continue to fight.The harder they fight, the better it will be for Uncle Yu? "

"This one……"

Cao Cao couldn't help but frowned, lost in thought.

What Cao Peng said made sense. He had heard of these things before.

Even before the expedition, Guo Jia also analyzed for him, which talked about this matter.

Hearing what Cao Peng said now, he also felt quite agreeable.

So, Cao Cao pondered for a moment, then raised his head.Just looking at Cao Peng's proud expression, Cao Cao was not angry in his heart.

"You say that Zhao Yun is highly skilled in martial arts, so let him work under my account."

"what?"

When Cao Peng heard this, he grimaced, "Uncle, it's not that I don't want to let Zhao Yun work, but I just said that that guy is a fool... He surrendered out of helplessness. If you use him at this time, you will not It won't do any good. Besides, although Zhao Yun's martial arts are good, he's not good enough to be alone. How about letting him stay by my side and wait for my nephew to hone him, and then use it with my uncle?"

Cao Cao just felt that the name Zhao Yun sounded familiar.

He also heard from Zhang Yun that this person entered and exited seven times in Changbanpo, beheading dozens of Cao generals, and countless ordinary soldiers.In addition, at least fifty or sixty tiger and leopard knights died under his gun.It can be seen from this that this Zhao Yun is indeed a brave general... But it doesn't mean that Cao Cao must use him.Next to Cao Cao, there is still Dian Wei and Xu Chu, which may not belong to that Zhao Yun.And his tent is like a cloud of fierce generals, not to mention Zhang Liao Xu Huang, Yu Jin Li Dian, Zhang He Le Jin and others, but only from his own family, there are Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Cao Chun, Cao Xiu, Cao Zhen, Cao Peng, etc... Especially Cao Peng, there are also Cao Cao really didn't think much of Zhao Yun for his unstoppable courage.

He just wanted to disgust Cao Peng so that he wouldn't get too complacent.

Seeing the bitter look on Cao Peng's face, Cao Cao was happy!
"That's all, I snatched a Gan Xingba from you before, and I made you mutter for a long time.

Now that you want to snatch Zhao Yun from you again, won't you be making irresponsible remarks again?Since you want to sharpen him, just stay by your side.

However, he is a general after all, and as you said, he surrendered you because of helplessness, so you should be more careful. "

"The last will be saved!"

Cao Peng cupped his hands and said: "My father sent someone to deliver a letter a while ago, saying that Ma Chao, the capital of Wu, had been supported by Zhang Lu in the past few years, and gradually regained his vitality. There are not many people who can resist Ma Chao. My nephew wants Zhao Yun to go to Liangzhou to help my father defend against Ma Mengqi. With Zhao Yun's strength and Yuan Zhi and others' advice, Guanzhong will be safe."

"Well, this is also a feasible way."

Cao Cao thought about it, and felt that it was not impossible, so he nodded in agreement.

Cao Peng still has Huang Zhong and Pound by his side, enough to deal with those guys.Now, he has appointed these two as General Tiger Rider and General Leopard Rider. Although their official positions are not important, in terms of power, they are compared to the Seventh School of the Northern Army.The Seventh Colonel of the Northern Army is only in charge of 2000 people.

As for the Tiger Cavalry and Leopard Cavalry, after Cao Cao arrived, they each had 5000 men, which was more than the number of troops under the jurisdiction of the Seventh Colonel of the Northern Army.

Not to mention, the nature of tiger and leopard cavalry is far from being comparable to that of the Seventh School of the Northern Army.In terms of importance, Cao Cao is even better at tiger and leopard cavalry.

"This time, let's forget it."

Cao Cao thought for a while, then said in a deep voice, "However, you don't count the credit you made before, and you know it in your heart.

He will arrive in Xiangyang tomorrow, and I have resigned from his position as the prefect of Nanyang and sent him to Runan.

I will make other arrangements for the captain of Nanyang County, and the captain of Nanjun... Zihe will also step down as the governor of tiger and leopard cavalry, so you can take over his position.

In the past few days, you have been stationed outside the city, waiting for dispatch.

Now Jingzhou is newly attached, and there are many things to do.You take tiger and leopard riders, patrol Nanjun, and wipe out bandits, you must not make them mess up the current situation.In the spring of next year, there will be envoys from Yizhou coming, and then you can go and receive me on my behalf..."

training?

This is the job.

Cao Peng was not surprised.

However, what is going on with Yizhou sending envoys here?
