Cao Thief

Chapter 722 Jingnan ([-])

This is an extremely secluded small yard, and it looks very simple.

There are two trees in the yard, and the branches are full of buds.Jiang Wan wore a green shirt with a bookish air.I haven't seen him for two or three months, and he seems to have lost a lot of weight, but he seems to be in good spirits.Seeing Cao Peng, Jiang Wan was stunned for a moment, but soon regained his composure.

People often say, do what you want!

In the past, Jiang Wan hoped to make a difference in his official career, so he naturally respected Cao Peng.

But it's different now, he offended someone and was dismissed from office, and his mood became much more indifferent.

It turned out that some time ago when Zhang Yun passed by Bian County, Jiang Wan seemed a little thin in reception.But in Jiang Wan's words, his writing was completely in line with the etiquette, but Zhang Yun wanted to blackmail, and he was unwilling to follow.It is not a secret in Jingzhou that Zhang Yun is greedy for money.

In the past, no matter where he went, he would earn a lot of money.

Although he is not as powerful as before, his position is still there.What's more, he and Cai Mao shared weal and woe, and Cai Mao still served as the commander of the navy and was highly valued by Cao Cao.Zhang Yun naturally exudes arrogance, without the slightest sign of restraint.

Jiang Wan was unwilling to bow his head, which naturally angered Zhang Yun.

Don't look at Zhang Yun's power is not as good as before, but no one wants to offend him.

The people of Jingzhou would ignore it because of their past affection, but the generals of the Cao family would not offend Zhang Yun at will because they had nothing to do with him. After all, behind Zhang Yun, there was Cai Mao.Cao Cao now values ​​Cai Mao very much, so why offend Zhang Yun for a small county magistrate?

Therefore, Liu Xian, the new prefect of Nanjun, dismissed Jiang Wan from his official position.

"This... the officer really doesn't know."

When Cai Yang heard this, he became anxious.

He could tell that Cao Peng came here specially to find Jiang Wan, and he also admired Jiang Wan very much.Jiang Wan was dismissed from office, and he succeeded Jiang Wan as county magistrate. If Cao Peng misunderstood that he was involved in this, Cai Yang would have a hard time in the future.

No matter how awesome Cai Mao is, can he surpass Cao Peng?
That is Cao Cao's nephew and his confidant.

General Yokono, governor Jingnan... seems to be a head lower than Cai Mao.But everyone knows that if Cao Peng really killed Cai Mao, Cao Cao wouldn't blame him too much.If Mrs. Cai was in Xiangyang, she could rely on the teacher-student relationship between Liu Cong and Cao Peng to intercede.But Mrs. Cai has already left, and the Cai family is no match for what it was back then.

Cai Yang still remembers that before his wife left Xiangyang, she called together the members of the Cai clan.

"The Cai family is not as good as it used to be.

Now that I go to Xingyang, there will be fewer and fewer things I can help.In the future, you should be careful, don't be too ostentatious, lest you provoke people who shouldn't be provoked, and lead to a fatal disaster. "

What can't be taken into account?
To put it bluntly, Mrs. Cai is telling the Cai clan: I will not take care of your affairs anymore.

Although I am from the Cai family, I have paid too much for the Cai family.Now I want to think about my children, so I will never contact Cai in the future.

Mrs. Cai is a smart woman who knows how to read people's hearts.

What is her situation now?She is very clear.For her mother and son, there is no doubt that there is a guarantee for her mother and son to beg for Cao Peng's way.But if she breaks ties with Cai again, I'm afraid Cao Peng will not be happy either.No one would like to take care of someone, don't care.What's more, Mrs. Cai entered Liu Biao's home at a young age. To some extent, she has paid too much.

Cai Yang said: "To tell you the truth, my lord, Yang was originally the magistrate of Zhijiang County.

Last year, the prince pursued Liu Ni, and the barbarians from Wuxi attacked Huya Mountain by surprise.If it wasn't for General Wenpin's timely reinforcements, Yang would have almost died.After that, Yang was rather timid, so he talked to Degui, hoping to leave Zhijiang.It happened that there was a vacancy in the county, so the clan brother sent Yang Diao here.

The matter of Gong Yan really has nothing to do with Yang. "

Cai Yang is a person who knows his own weight very well. If he is governing the world, he can be a conservative county magistrate.There won't be much achievement, but slowly gaining qualifications, you can also become a thousand-stone official.The problem is, in today's troubled times, Zhijiang is located at the junction of Nanjun and Wuling.Although Wenpin and Wang Wei were stationed in Yidao and Yiling respectively later, Zhijiang was much safer.But after all, the terrain is complicated, and there are often Wuxi barbarians.After hesitating for a long time, Cai Yang decided to transfer away from Zhijiang as soon as possible to avoid danger.

Cao Peng didn't mean to ask for guilt, but seeing Cai Yang's pale face, he couldn't help being happy.

Before he could open his mouth, Jiang Wan said: "The county magistrate Cai has nothing to do with this matter. It's just that the lowly position is different from the world, so that it caused disaster... After the county magistrate Cai came to Bian County, he also took good care of the lowly position, and even wanted to It’s just that the lowly position is conscious of lack of knowledge, so... please don’t blame me, County Magistrate Cai is indeed a good person. At least he has been in the county for more than a month, and it has made the county much more stable.”

He is a good person, but he did not say whether he is a capable person.

Cao Peng didn't expect that Jiang Wan would speak for Cai Yang, so he nodded slightly.

As for Cai Yang, he showed a grateful smile, and secretly cupped his hands towards Jiang Wan to express his gratitude.

"Cai county magistrate don't need to panic, I was ordered to supervise Jingnan, and the county is not under my rule.

How could it be possible for someone to exceed his authority to deal with the matter of Liu Taishou?On the contrary, county magistrate Cai is extremely grateful for Gong Yan's care.If there is a chance in the future, you and I might as well conspire to get drunk together... When Madam left, she sent someone to tell me, please take care of the Cai clan. "

call!
Only then did Cai Yang let out a sigh of relief.

He saw that although Cao Peng spoke politely, he was rather distant, and he knew that Cao Peng was looking for Jiang Wan for something.

I couldn't help being envious in my heart, but Cai Yang still bid farewell and left Jiang Wan's house.

"Gongyan, do you want to go home?"

"Ah, exactly."

"Hehe, living in Xiangyang is not easy, but returning home is not bad.

It's just that Gong Yan is so talented that he intends to bury it like this, or does he have other plans? "

Jiang Wan hesitated for a moment, then looked up with a wry smile and said, "To tell you the truth, my lord, I have a good friend named Fei Yi, who is from Jiangxia County. In the early years, although his uncle Fei Guan went to Xichuan, he was favored by Liu Yizhou. Wan knew that he had little talent and little learning. , and offended the powerful, I am afraid that it will be difficult to do anything in the future. So I was going to go back to my hometown to rest for a while, so I went to Chengdu to join Fei Yi... I didn't want my son to come to my humble house suddenly."

now it's right!

I remember that Jiang Wan was originally Liu Zhang's man in history, and he returned to Liu Bei when Liu Bei entered Shu.

Fei Yi, it seems that he is also a character in the list of teachers...

Jiang Wan is a sincere gentleman, he did not use lies to perfunctory.This shows that he still has some expectations in his heart, at least after seeing Cao Peng, he has more hopes.Although Xichuan is good, after all, he is partial to a corner.If he could do something in the Central Plains, Jiang Wan would certainly not want to go to Xichuan.When Cao Peng came, he was obviously looking for him.Jiang Wan knew very well in his heart that this might be his chance.

The two sat down in the courtyard, Cao Peng cut to the chase and said, "This time I have been ordered to be the governor of Jingnan.

Gongyan is from Xiangxiang, and Jingnan is also Gongyan's hometown.So I made a special trip here, hoping that Gongyan can help me and restore peace to Jingnan. "

When Jiang Wan heard this, he immediately laughed.

"Do you dare not obey?"

Today's Jiang Wan is not the important minister of the Shu Han in history.

He has no name, no money, no power, and no qualifications. It is not easy to get ahead.

In history, Jiang Wan became famous in the middle and late Shu Han.It is impossible to get up all at once.As for Cao Peng, he is the minister of the court, 26 years old, has been appointed as General Yokono, and has a bright future.It would be a good thing for Jiang Wan if he could follow.

Moreover, Jiang Wan's hometown was in Lingling, which was also under the rule of Jingnan.

Although Cao Peng is stationed in Wuling, it is separated from Lingling by a county.But in comparison, it is not too far away, and it can be regarded as a return home.

Cao Peng prepared a lot of rhetoric and wanted Jiang Wan to follow him.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Wan agreed without wasting any words, but he didn't know how to proceed.After being stunned for a while, Cao Peng suddenly laughed, stood up and took Jiang Wan's hand, "In that case, please Gong Yan to set off with me."

Without saying a word, Jiang Wan immediately went back to the house to get his bags, and left Bian County with Cao Peng.

Before leaving, Cao Peng asked someone to inform the county magistrate Caiyang, so that he would try his best so that he would not have any worries.Cai Yang was very grateful, and led the gentry of Bian County, sent Cao Peng and others out of the city, and watched the group of people drift away in the afterglow of the setting sun.

"Gong Yan will go to heaven and prosperity.

So, this is a blessing in disguise, how do you know it is not a blessing?Misfortunes depend on blessings, blessings lie on misfortunes... In the future, you have to keep it in your heart. "

Cai Yang let out a sigh of emotion, which immediately attracted the praise of everyone.

The figures of Cao Peng and others have disappeared into the horizon.

Cai Yang stopped for a while at the gate of the city, and then he led the crowd back to the county with a little disappointment!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Governor Jing Nan naturally had to control the military power.

When Cao Peng arrived in Jiangling, he already had a general understanding of the power in his hands.

Cao Cao dispatched a total of eight schools to wait for Cao Peng's dispatch.

Among them, Lai Gong, the prefect of Wuling, was in charge of a school of about 3000 people, stationed in Linyuan County, Wuling County; the military commander sacrificed wine, ministered orders, and supervised Jingnan military Xun Yu, in charge of a school, with 4000 people, stationed in Zuotang.At the same time, Xun Yu was responsible for the defense of the Dongting navy, defending the soldiers and horses in the east of the Boluoyuan River.Moreover, he also controlled the allocation of supplies, grain and grass. The supplies allocated from Jiangling were first passed through the hands of Xun Yu, and then distributed to various places.

The personnel of these two schools are basically dead, and it is not easy for Cao Peng to mobilize them.

Except for the two, Yiling Wangwei No. [-] School and Yidao Wenpin No. [-] School protected Cao Peng's flank, so there was no need to worry about the enemy to the west.At the same time, the two schools were also responsible for guarding Nanjun and monitoring Wuxi Man.Although he obeys Cao Peng's orders, he must not move lightly.

In other words, Cao Peng had only four schools left.

Cao Peng himself has 1 soldiers and horses, which can be regarded as a school.For the other three schools, Cao Cao really spent a lot of thought.He transferred Pang De from Wulin and Wei Yan from Zhangshan to Jingnan.These two men each led a school with a total of [-] soldiers and horses; the remaining school was appointed by Cao Peng himself.

After Cao Peng thought about it, he ordered Huang Zhong to lead the school alone.

Due to the limitations of Jingnan's terrain, it is difficult for heavy cavalry to play a role.So after Cao Peng arrived in Zuotang, he discussed with Xun Yu again.Xun Yu came forward and made a request to Cao Cao to transfer the leopard rider to Linyuan, under the command of Huang Zhong.Huang Zhong was originally the deputy governor of the tiger and leopard cavalry. Although he was in command of the tiger cavalry before, he is not unfamiliar with the leopard cavalry's tactics, and there is no need to get used to it.

And these four thousand leopard cavalry are also the only cavalry army in Jingnan.

Xun Yu seemed a little hesitant at first.

But under Cao Peng's persuasion, he finally agreed.Don't look at his dissatisfaction with Cao Peng before, but that was just some small grievances, not a big problem.To put it bluntly, Xun Chen's death had nothing to do with Cao Peng.Although Cao Peng created the eight-ox crossbow that shot and killed Xun Chen, but Cao Peng was not in Wuyin at that time, so how could Cao Peng be blamed.To be precise, this is Xun Chen's life!If he didn't want to assist Liu Bei, if he didn't want to capture Wuyin, he wouldn't have died under Wuyin City.Before Xun Yu, it was just a small embarrassment for Cao Peng.

As far as his heart is concerned, Xun Yu still attaches great importance to Cao Peng, and still appreciates it very much...

Xun Yu and Deng Ji had a good relationship, and they were taken care of by Cao Peng. He also had his shares in the Yingchuan Fuzhi Building, which earned a lot of money every year.He was a clean man and never took bribes.He has a bold temper, and is quite generous in spending money... The family is famous for poetry and books. Although he has a family property, he has to take care of the whole family, and it is impossible to give him too many monthly rules.As a result, Xun Yu was always nervous.

He is also fond of buying books, especially when he sees those rare, rare, and unique copies, he does not hesitate to pay any price.

There are a lot of people in the family, and there are diners.In this way, if there is no extra income, Xun Yu's life will be really tight.

So, to be sad, Xun Yu treated Cao Peng the same as before.

Cao Peng felt relieved and asked Xun Yu, "But I don't know, when will the other troops arrive?"

"Wen Chang and Ling Ming have already received the notice, and they must have left the station by now.

It is reckoned that the two of them will arrive soon... However, the prime minister has already transferred Gong Ming to replace Ling Ming to garrison Wulin.

Now that we are confronting Liu Bei Yuanshui, what is your plan? "

Cao Peng thought for a while, then said in a deep voice: "I plan to order Wen Chang to be stationed in Lingyang, and Ling Ming will take over Yuannan."

"Then where do you want to set up the Governor's Mansion?"

"This one……"

Cao Peng looked at Xun Yu in surprise, not quite understanding what he meant.

Since the governor is Jingnan, I should naturally set the governor's mansion in Linyuan, the county seat of Wuling County. Is there still a problem?

Xun Yu smiled and said, "Boqian is not a big-hearted man... The prime minister appointed him as the prefect of Wuling, and he hoped to use his fame to appease the people of Wuling. Ah Fu, if you set up the governor's mansion in Linyuan, Wan Wouldn't it be a lot of trouble if he misunderstood it as surveillance?

Anyway, you don't count on the school of soldiers and horses in his hands.

In my opinion, it is better to send someone to the army, and then choose another place to set up the Dudu Mansion. "

"Who?"

Cao Peng was startled for a moment, and then a person appeared in his mind, and he said quickly: "Military division, I do have a candidate who is just right to supervise the army."

"Who?"

"I remember that Lai Boqian is from Lingling... On the way here this time, I recruited a wise man who happened to be from Lingling and from the same town as Lai Gong. Why don't I let him be the chief secretary of the army? I won’t have too many opinions. It’s just where to choose to open the government?”

Now that Cao Peng had an idea, Xun Yu didn't ask any more questions.

He smiled slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Han Shou, how is it?"

After a day of adjustments, recovery is underway.
