Cao Thief

Chapter 111 Planning for the future (seeking a monthly ticket)

Guo Jia was taken aback by Cao Peng's fierce reaction.

Perhaps out of a sense of self-protection, he instinctively took a step back and looked at Cao Peng nervously, a little dazed.

As for Cao Peng, after a brief gaffe, he quickly reacted.

He also knew that his behavior just now was a bit inappropriate.But I have to say that when facing Guo Jia, it was really difficult for him to control his emotions.This is the most outstanding figure in the Cao Wei Group, but also a tragic figure.In the Cao Wei Group, there are two tragic characters.One is Guo Jia, and the other is Xun Yu.Xun Yu lives in Cao Ying, has the Han Dynasty in his heart, and has been struggling with contradictions.In the end he chose the Han Dynasty, so Cao Cao had to make up his mind to give Xun Yu his final death and serve the country.

As for Guo Jia, he was different from Xun Yu.

His background was not as good as Xun Yu's, and he did not have a particularly deep affection for the Han Dynasty like Xun Yu did.

Guo Jia's ancestor, Guo Gong, has three generations and nine ministers, but he has his own family in the study of Xiao Dulu.But in Guo Jia's generation, the Guo family has declined.Although Guo Jia's father was a petty official, he could barely support his facade.Therefore, Guo Jia's affection for the Han Dynasty is not deep, and he abandons the law and cultivates strategies. His true psychology may not be that he wants to break with the family and make a clean break.

Cao Cao was kind to Guo Jia, so Guo Jia also made up his mind to repay him with a national scholar.

It's a pity that his body... just when he was about to flex his muscles, he died unexpectedly at the age of 38.When people in later generations talk about Guo Jia, they all sigh with regret.Cao Peng even felt that if the words of the song "Death before leaving the teacher, the hero will burst into tears" might be more appropriate if applied to Guo Jia.As for Zhuge Liang, he has controlled the Shu Han government for at least many years, so how can he be regarded as "died before leaving the teacher"?

Therefore, since rebirth, Cao Peng, who has always been calm and peaceful, finally lost his composure!

"This is Guo Jia, why is Ah Fu so surprised?"

Cao Peng said hastily: "I have heard for a long time that Guo Fengxiao is a ghostly genius, and Cao Peng really admires him. When I saw him just now, I couldn't help being a little emotional. I hope Guo Jijiu will forgive me."

Wear a thousand clothes, don't flatter yourself!
No matter how well-bred Ren Guojia is, he still feels very comfortable hearing such flattery.

A touch of blush appeared on his thin face, and he smiled slightly, "Ah Fu is a compliment."

"Feng Xiao, I'll take you to the Iron House to watch."

"Jia is disrespectful."

Deng Ji smiled and pulled Guo Jia to leave, Cao Peng wanted to follow, but Xu Yi was competing with Dianman and couldn't get away for a while.

Seeing that Guo Jia was about to leave, Cao Peng couldn't bear it anymore, and suddenly said: "Guo Jijiu, take care of yourself."

Guo Jia was taken aback for a moment, and stopped to look back at Cao Peng.

If it were someone else, Guo Jia would probably be annoyed... Well done, let me take care of my health?Isn't this cursing me?

But seeing Cao Peng's sincere face, Guo Jia couldn't get angry.

"Young brother Cao is concerned, and Guo Jia will remember it in his heart."

After speaking, he followed Deng Ji and left.

Looking at Guo Jia's back, Cao Peng suddenly reached out and slapped himself.

"Good, what are you talking about?"

He came back to his senses and sighed softly.

At the same time, I feel happy for Deng Ji in my heart... Becoming friends with Xun Yu and Guo Jia, although my brother-in-law lost an arm, it may not be a blessing.

It stands to reason that, as an official in the Eastern Han Dynasty, he paid attention to appearance.

After Deng Ji lost his arm, it was difficult for him to be an official.There is nothing special about being a subordinate official, but it is very difficult to be an official, a high-ranking official!
However, today the world is in turmoil and there are many princes.

The requirements for appearance and instrumentation do not seem to be as strict as before.

Make friends with Guo Jia and Xun Yu, plus Man Chong... Mmm!Cao Peng felt that Deng Ji's physical disability was no longer the key, but his own talent and learning.It's a pity that what Deng Ji learned was neither the art of war nor the art of governing the country.He majored in law, which is a bit biased.

"Ah Fu, how do you beat this Lao Shizi?"

Amid Dianman's ridicule, Xu Yi broke into the formation three times in a row, but failed.

Can't help shouting loudly, Cao Peng couldn't help laughing.He signaled Deng Fan to fetch a pair of specially made cowhide and handed it to Xu Yi.

"Second brother, even this, you have to take some protection.

Bring it on first, and then I will teach you how to break through the Tiangang Formation... You must not be able to run around like this. It is best to replace the iron sand with sandbags and practice from scratch. "

Under the cowhide, there is a thick cloth pad, about half a centimeter thick.It is about three fingers wide and about one meter long.

Cao Peng went up and helped Xu Yi wrap the cowhide pad around Xu Yi's hands.

After the fingers, palms, and wrists are all wrapped properly, tighten them tightly, and wrap the pad with two thin hemp ropes, and it becomes a suggested Sanda glove.Xu Yi moved her fingers and found that her fingers were not affected in any way.It's a little uncomfortable, but overall, it doesn't seem to be a problem.However, he became more and more curious, how many secrets are hidden in Cao Peng?

————————————————————————

"Afu is very interesting!"

Guo Jia said to Deng Ji with a smile.

Deng Ji was a little embarrassed, "Ah Fu is usually very steady, I don't know what's going on today, but when he speaks, he's a little confused, don't worry about it."

"Ha, what's the point? Is he also kind?"

The two walked towards the iron hut, chatting while walking.

Guo Jia suddenly asked: "Uncle Sun, have you ever thought about going out to do something?"

"what?"

"You are talented and proficient in the law. It stands to reason that you should go to Dali for a job. But the problem is that your reputation is not obvious, and your qualifications are slightly insufficient. I guess you have to start from scratch when you go to Dali. If you have qualifications and reputation, even if I can Help you, if you don’t have 20 years, you can’t even think about getting ahead.”

Dali, also known as Tingwei, one of the Nine Ministers, is in charge of the criminal law.

It was originally built by the Qin Dynasty, and was renamed Dali in the sixth year of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty.Later, after the change of Emperor Wu, Emperor Ai and Xinmang regime, the titles of Tingwei and Dali kept changing.In the early Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty restored the title of Tingwei, but when Emperor Huan arrived, it was changed to Dali again.

Reason, in ancient times it was said that palm punishment is called soil, and it is also called reason.

Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty added the word "big" to take the meaning of Dali, the prison of heavenly officials and nobles.

Therefore, the official office of punishment is also called Dali Temple.

Deng Ji repaired his criminal name and specialized in Xiao Dulu, and Dali Temple is undoubtedly the best place to go.But there, you really need qualifications...

Guo Jiadao: "I think it's hard for you to show your strengths in Dali, and it's also hard for you to do anything big. It's better to go out, manage one side, and make a career. With your talent, it's easier for you to get ahead than to be stupid. Suffering in Dali. To be honest, Xudu is not peaceful now, if you stay in Xudu, you will easily be envied and even framed."

Deng Ji was silent!
From the bottom of his heart, he certainly wanted to stay in Xudu.

His wife, Cao Nan, has been pregnant for eight months and is about to give birth.Moreover, the family, wife and children are all in Xudu, and life will be much easier.

Staying in Xudu has the advantages of staying in Xudu; but as Guo Jia said, going out also has the advantage of going out.

It's just that after going out, I don't know the place...

"Feng Xiao, what you said is very true, but it's a little sudden, and I can't make a decision for a while. Besides, Zhuo Jing is about to give birth, I'm afraid..."

"Oh, I'm just telling you that if you really want to operate, you still need a chance.

The reason I say this is to prepare you.To tell you the truth, Ling Yue made the Tiangang Saber, which is very popular with the lord, and it will be reused sooner or later.At that time, you will have two choices, either stay in Xudu, or go out to practice.Personally, I think it's better to go out.

You should think about it carefully, so as not to be in a hurry..."

Guo Jia is four years older than Deng Ji, and he is more thoughtful than Deng Ji.

He really regarded Deng Ji as a brother of the same family, otherwise he would not have said such words.

Guo Jia said these words today, in fact, he assured Deng Ji: You don't have to worry about your future, I can recommend for you...

Deng Ji was naturally extremely grateful for Guo Jia's kindness.

"If elder brother is concerned about it, younger brother will definitely think about it seriously."

——————————————————————————————

Time flies, and it's July in the blink of an eye.

The battle between tiger and guard is approaching day by day.

The various generals under Cao Cao's command also got the news.

But what interests them the most is the 36 Tiangang knives that Cao Cao treasured in Cao's mansion!The news about the Tiangang Saber gradually spread. As generals of the Cao family, each of them naturally hoped to get the Tiangang Saber.Because that is not only an honor, but also represents the status in Cao Ying. 36 Tiangang, who will get it?This has caused a lot of speculation and speculation.

The first few generals who served Cao Cao will definitely receive this honor.

Xiahoudun, Xiahouying, Cao Hong, Cao Ren, Cao Chun, Le Jin Yujin and others must have a hand.

There are too many monks and too little porridge, which makes many people feel nervous...

And Cao Peng still lives a leisurely life.The outside things don't seem to have anything to do with him. He spends his days studying, practicing martial arts, or accompanying his father to forge weapons in the iron hut, or accompanying his mother and sister, playing around the Wubao.Xudu in autumn has a special taste.Longshan Maple Red, Yingshui meanders.Between mountains and rivers, it can make people feel peaceful and cultivate people's sentiments.

It's a pity that Cao Peng doesn't know many poems.

Otherwise, if you steal two songs, you can make a small name for yourself.

Xu Yi would come to Dianjiawu to practice martial arts every day. After a period of practice, he had gradually mastered the mysteries of the Tiangang Formation.

The time I stayed in it became longer and longer, and gradually became equal to Dianman.

As for Deng Fan, after practicing for a long time, with the help of Baduanjin, he reached the stage of directing Qi to the bone in one fell swoop, and entered the stage of easy bone.

Afterwards, he joined Wang Mai and followed Cao Peng to contact Shake the Gun and slide the stick.

In order to practice this shaking gun, Cao Peng really took a lot of thought.He asked Cao Zhen for help, and searched for ash trees in a radius of hundreds of miles around Xu County.The requirements are very strict, at least 20 years old, and no scars.After picking these ash trees, Cao Peng made them himself according to the teaching method of the old martial artist in his previous life.When Cao Peng was practicing martial arts in his previous life, the old martial artist had more than a dozen white wax rods in his hand, which were specially used to shake the gun slide rod.Cao Peng also bought one, which was longer than the white wax rod of the old martial artist, but the weight was far inferior.

After the 90s of the twentieth century, due to the large-scale deforestation, the three-year-old ash pole can already be regarded as a high-end product.

A good white ash rod, heavy and dense, with a bluish surface and no scars at all.

Straight as cut, the head of the pole should not be much thinner than the handle of the gun.With a strong shake, the shaft trembled.The swing of the club head is not large, but it can last.

Such pewter rods are really good rods.

In his previous life, Cao Peng always hoped to buy a good white wax rod, but unfortunately he failed to achieve his wish.

After I went to work, this thought was thrown away, and gradually faded away...

Now reborn in the Three Kingdoms, only near Longshan, there are many ash trees that are 20 years old, even 50 years old, [-] years old, or even hundreds of years old.

Cao Zhen asked for thirty ash trees to be sent to him. According to the conditions of the ash trees, Cao Peng made a total of fifty ash rods of different lengths, weights, and thicknesses.Then according to the situation of Wang Mai and Deng Fan, the three each chose one.

After Cao Peng changed his bones, his strength increased greatly.

The weight of the white wax rod has reached about sixteen catties.

The white wax rods of Wang Mai and Deng Fan weighed more than 30 kilograms.Every time after practicing the gun-shaking slider, the bones and frame of the whole body are sore, but the effect is very obvious.

As for Xu Yi and Dianman...

The two competed with each other all day long, rushing through the sky in the school grounds.

The two of them practiced martial arts since they were young, and they practiced the skills passed down in their families.In history, because Dian Wei died early and Dianman was young at that time, he did not obtain the true biography of Dian Wei.Although he was named in the history books, he did not have any great achievements; Xu Yi's situation is different, he still made a big name in history.In the end, he died on the battlefield, which can be regarded as returning the shrouded body of horse leather, fulfilling the long-cherished wish of the general.

Today, Dian Wei is still alive!

Dianman's future will look different.

But because their foundation has been laid, their kung fu has also taken shape.It is not appropriate to contact Cao Peng's routines.

So the two of them only choose what they like to practice, and treat it as a joke, which is better than boring daily practice.

Everyone got what they wanted, and Cao Peng didn't intervene too much...

On the seventh day of July, there was an autumn rain and the weather turned cold.

As the martial arts performance was approaching, Xu Du became more and more lively.

As for Cao Zhen, since he got out of the prison, he has become very talkative, quite a bit like a dragon who sees his head but doesn't see his tail.

One is still in Xudu today, and it may be in Henan Yin the next day, and it may appear in Luoyang on the third day.Fortunately, there was no fighting during this period, and Cao Zhen asked Xu Huang and Cao Cao for a long vacation, so no one asked him about it.

Cao Peng naturally knew what Cao Zhen was busy with.

On about the fifth day of July, Zhu Zan came to the door suddenly.

"Ah Fu, I'm leaving!"

Cao Peng couldn't react for a while, and subconsciously asked: "Fourth brother, where are you going?"

"Yesterday, General Yuan Rang enlisted me in the name of Yin Yin of Henan Province, and I served as the governor of the western part of Yin Yin of Henan Province, and served as the captain of the northern part of Luoyang."

"what?"

Cao Peng was taken aback.

Luoyang Beiwei?That's the position that Cao Cao created the five-color stick.

In terms of official position, it is not too big, but a mere four hundred stone salary.But Luoyang is the capital of the empire, and the northern captain...that is a very important position, in charge of public security and other related affairs.At the same time, the area under the jurisdiction of Luoyang Northern Wei is also the most prosperous place in Luoyang.

Although the situation in Luoyang now is very different from when Cao Cao was the captain of Luoyang North, it is an important position after all.

"In this way, did the elder brother choose the location in the north?"

Zhu Zan nodded, and said softly: "The northern part of Luoyang is a prosperous place. It governs the confluence of Luoshui and Yishui, and all the goods from east and west converge here."

"And what help does fourth brother need?"

Zhu Zan laughed and said, "Help is unnecessary! With General Yuan here, it must not be a problem.

In addition, your sixth brother will leave after a while. "

"Where is Brother Six going?"

"The lord conscripted Zhong Yuanchang, and served as the captain of Sili as a servant, and supervised the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong to guard the Chang'an area. Zidan recommended your sixth brother to Zhong Yuanchang through Xun Shangshu's relationship. , Ren Zuoshi, in charge of the roster of officials and apprentices in the capital, and accompanied him to Chang'an."

When Cao Peng heard this, he couldn't help but gasp!
Lieutenant Sili, formerly known as Crouching Tiger, was the inspector who supervised the capital and localities in the Han Dynasty.If we compare Dali to the Supreme Court of later generations, then Sili Xiaowei is an independent prosecutor independent of the judiciary.Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty established it at the beginning of the fourth year of Zhenghe, and was later omitted as a school lieutenant and called Sili.In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Sili Xiaowei was reinstated, and his rank was changed from Zhong Erqianshi to Bi Erqianshi...

In terms of salary, Sili Xiaowei was half a rank lower than that in the Western Han Dynasty.

But this is because the Eastern Han Dynasty established its capital in Luoyang.In fact, real power is not seen at all.Equipped with subordinate officials, he also controls a private armed force of 500 people, which is not subject to the restraint of the local government.Cao Zun was actually transferred to Chang'an?

The power of Cao Zhen, a princeling, is really not small!
At the same time, Cao Peng was very surprised.

It's not that Cao Peng doesn't know Zhong Yao's name.But what he knew was that Zhong Yao was a famous writer and calligrapher at that time.Calligraphy of later generations all came from "King Zhong".This "Wang" is Wang Xizhi, a great calligrapher in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and "Zhong" is Zhong Yao.The reason why Cao Peng can remember Zhong Yao deeply is not so much because of Zhong Yao, but because of his son, Zhong Hui.

Zhong Yao was born in the Zhong family of Yingchuan.

When he was young, he was sponsored by his grandfather, and he was promoted as Xiaolian. He once served as Shang Shulang and the order of Yangling (now Xianyang area).Later, he resigned due to illness, and was again regarded as Tingweizheng and Huangmen servant.In the third year of Chuping, Cao Cao sent envoys to contact Li Jue and Guo Si.At that time, Li and Guo doubted Cao Cao's sincerity and were unwilling to communicate.It was Zhong Yao's persuasion that made Li Jue and Guo Si befriend Cao Cao, and made Cao Cao recognized by the court.

After Li Jue and Guo Si fought against each other, Zhong Yao planned to rescue Emperor Han.

It can be said that Emperor Han was able to escape from Chang'an, thanks to Zhong Yao's contribution.Later, he was appointed as Yushi Zhongcheng. In the first year of Jian'an, he moved to Shangshu Pushe, Dongwu Tinghou.

Speaking of which, Zhong Yao definitely belonged to the royalist party, and he was also from the Yingchuan clan.

Cao Cao's appointment of him... Could it be a gesture of bowing to the family, or ulterior motives?
However, these are too far away for Cao Peng.

There was a trace of sadness in my heart, not long after they got married, the brothers had to go their separate ways.Thinking about it, Cao Peng couldn't help feeling a little sad.

Zhu Zan smiled, "There is one more thing, Zidan is serving wine at Yuxiu Tower tonight, let me inform you, you must arrive early..."

"Is it seeing you off?"

"Hehe, yes, and no."

Zhu Zan lowered his voice and whispered in Cao Peng's ear: "Uncle Cao is back, he wants to see you."

Uncle Cao?
Cao Peng was startled for a moment, and then realized immediately, "But you still have to advise the doctor?"

Zhu Zan smiled and immediately nodded...

Seeing that the monthly ticket gap is getting bigger and bigger, Lao Xin can't help panicking.

The daily [-]D update should be regarded as a very hard work. I hope that brothers and sisters can raise their hands and cast monthly tickets. I am very grateful.
