Cao Thief

Chapter 161 On the Hero by the Zushui River (4+2)

In the back house of Xiapi Town, the little lady Ren Xiu is mending clothes under the lamp.

Diaochan was the title of a female official in the Han Dynasty.

And her real name is Ren Xiu, from Hongchang, from Wuyuan, Bingzhou.Speaking of which, Ren Xiu and Lu Bu are also from the same hometown.However, Ren Xiu left her home with her uncle since she was a child and went to Lintao.Later, she moved to Chang'an and became a female official in the Han Dynasty palace.

Well, the name Ren Xiu sounds...

Hehe, it is indeed a bit awkward.

We only need to know her name, or call her Diao Chan.

Maybe this will make everyone feel more friendly.

Lu Lingqi fell asleep curled up on the couch, she looked like a kitten when she slept.

After Diao Chan mended a war robe, she put it aside.She looked up at Qi'er, with a faint smile on her exquisite and moving face.

"Qi'er, you've been holding back all night, let's talk."

"Ma'am, why did you help that little thief?"

The little thief in Qi'er's mouth is Cao Peng.

Diao Chan smiled, "I just want to find someone to rely on for Junhou."

She stood up, went to the window, tucked in the quilt for Lingqi, and gently brushed the hair on her face.

At this time, Diao Chan is like a kind mother.Although Lu Lingqi was not her own, in her eyes, she was like her own.

"Although Junhou is currently sitting in Xiapi, the situation is not good.

He is not a hero in the first place, although he is skilled in martial arts, but...he can't be a hero, so sooner or later there will be disasters.Seeing him return in triumph, many people came to congratulate him.But I dare say that none of those who congratulated came sincerely. "

Diao Chan sat down beside Qi'er, and added, "Including Cao Peng."

"Then why are you still helping him?"

"Because other people..."

Diao Chan sighed, revealing a look of sadness.

"Looking at this city of Xiapi, there are only a handful of people who have the same heart with the prince. Even that Chen Gongtai just wants to use the prince. Chen Hanyu is scheming, and Chen Yuanlong is exquisite... These people have never accepted the prince from the beginning. , but pretending to be a snake."

"What about the little thief?"

"Little thief...very slippery."

"Ok?"

Qi'er was puzzled and looked at Diao Chan.

"But I think that child is different from Chen Hanyu and others. Although he is under Cao Gong's command, he doesn't seem to be someone of his age...Qi'er, can you imagine? A big man actually agrees. Dressed up as a woman? If it was someone else, I'm afraid he would have turned his face. But he actually agreed... The child's eyes are very clear and deep. I have a hunch that he will be able to do a great job in the future .I am giving you kindness today, and I only hope that he will be able to repay his kindness in the future.”

Qi'er said softly: "But, he doesn't know."

"Silly girl, he knows!"

After Diao Chan finished speaking, she picked up her needle and thread again.

Qi'er sat quietly, looking at Diao Chan's profile.

She clenched her fists secretly, and said in her heart: Cao Peng, if you dare to betray Madam's heart in the future, I will definitely not let you go!

————————————————————————

A sneeze!

Cao Peng rubbed his nose and stopped Zhao Yebai.

Xiapi City has been left far behind.

A round of bright moon was in the sky, but it looked extraordinarily cold.Subconsciously, Cao Peng wrapped his robe tightly, turned his head and looked behind him, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Hao Zhao... That Iron Wall General has become my part!

In Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Hao Zhao appeared in the later stage.At that time, Zhuge Liang came out of Qishan, intending to capture Guanzhong, and then went north to the Central Plains.Hao Zhao was ordered to go out of the town of Chencang, and despite Zhuge Liang's various means to keep Chencang intact, Zhuge Liang had to give up his plan to capture Chencang... In later generations, some people called Hao Zhao General Iron Wall, which means He guards the city like an iron wall.

However, Hao Zhao seems to have only this one achievement in his life.

Since then, he has been unknown, at least in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he did not appear.

As for the first half of his life, it has become a mystery.

Now, Hao Zhao's face is still a bit green and immature, and there is nothing unusual about it.

In Lu Bu's army, he was the governor of the trilogy and was in charge of 200 people.

Since Lu Bu started from the frontier army, the organization of this army is somewhat different.For example, the four ranks of military ranks such as Wuchang, Shichang, Dubo, and Tuenjiang are roughly the same.But from Tun to Qu, there has been a change.For example, the subordinates of Cao Cao and others, there are five villages in one song, and two songs are one.

However, the frontier army is composed of two villages, which are called Buqudu, that is, Junhou.

A school of the frontier army has no more than 2000 people.An army is no more than 8000 people...but if it is in the Gyeonggi area, a school is about [-] to [-] people.Therefore, the captains of the frontier army are just fake captains, with far less power than the captains of Gyeonggi, and naturally the treatment is not too high.

However, Hao Zhao was able to become the director of the trilogy at the age of 17, which is enough to show that he is not easy.

Previously, Hao Zhao worked under Zhang Liao and was originally a reserve army.Since there are usually 800 people in the camp, if there are casualties before the battle, they must be added as soon as possible.And this supplementary manpower was drawn from Zhang Liao's hands... So, it can be regarded as an elite team.

Originally, Zhang Liao was not very willing. After all, it is not easy to train an elite soldier.

But he didn't have a bad impression of Cao Peng, and he also knew that Haixi was indeed very complicated.

It is a good thing that the Cao Peng brothers can gain a foothold in Haixi.So after much deliberation, Zhang Liao finally agreed.

Hao Zhao, it's hard to tell whether he's happy or unhappy.

But overall, it is estimated that he will not be particularly happy...

Thinking about working under Zhang Liao's command, he might become a member of the trapped camp in the future.

Now, he was transferred to such a remote place as Haixi.I'm afraid if it was Cao Peng, he would feel a little awkward in his heart.

However, he will not let Hao Zhao go.

Just like what Uncle Li said in "A World Without Thieves": What is the most important thing these days?talent!
There is no doubt that Hao Zhao is a talent.

Anyone who has played Three Kingdoms Heroes knows that the greatest joy of the Three Kingdoms game is to collect famous generals and advisers.But the problem is, Cao Peng was reborn too late!During the Jian'an period, the pattern of the world had basically emerged, and many famous officials and generals were also famous.And Cao Peng's background limited his possibility of unscrupulously collecting talented people... Therefore, when Cao Peng met so many talented people, he rarely thought about recruiting them.As for Pan Zhang...that was definitely an accident, purely because he was fooled by Cao Peng.

Those who are too old cannot be recruited.

Those who are too famous cannot be recruited.

The background is too good to recruit...

If this is eliminated, there are very few people who can be recruited by Cao Peng.

Before that, Cao Peng was most looking forward to a great man, even his nephew who didn't know if it was real or not.

Moreover, Deng Ai was just born, not yet full year old.When he grows up... oh my god, even Cao Peng himself is not sure if he can live to that time.Unexpectedly, if you plant trees deliberately, you will not live, but if you plant willows unintentionally, they will become shade.When I came to Xiapi, I actually found a calf.What pleased Cao Peng the most was that the conditions of this calf met his recruitment requirements.

Not very old, but not too young; no fame at all, born from grassroots...

If the Mavericks are let go, it will be struck by lightning.

So, along the way, Cao Peng was thinking, how to get closer to Hao Zhao?
Cao Peng couldn't do something like a tiger's body shaking.

that……

Alas, keep fooling around!
----------------

That night, everyone slept on the bank of Zushui.

Without waiting for Cao Peng's order, Hao Zhao arranged for the guard.

Cao Pengdianman and the three sat together, talking in low voices.They talked about what they had gained from coming to Xiapi this time, and about the power of the tiger Lu Bu.

Inadvertently, Cao Peng found Hao Zhao sitting down not far away.

Turning his eyes, he suddenly asked: "Third brother, in terms of bravery, Marquis Wen is indeed unparalleled in the world. This is a fact, whether you admit it or not. However, when it comes to marching, Both civil and military, under Marquis Wen's tent, I recommend Zhang Wenyuan first."

Hao Zhao seemed curious.

"Zhang Liao?"

Dianman thought for a while, "I seem to have heard someone say that the lord once said that among the eight generals under Marquis Wen's tent, Zhang Wenyuan can be alone."

"Yeah, it's a pity that I was born at an untimely time."

"how do I say this?"

"General Wen Yuan was born late...if he had been born 400 years earlier, he might have been able to establish a career like Huo Hushi."

Xu Yi was immediately dissatisfied upon hearing this.

"Ah Fu, you are exaggerating a bit.

Zhang Wenyuan may be really capable, but he might not be able to compare with Huo Huoqi. "

"Why can't you compare?"

"What's Huo Hussar's background? What's Zhang Liao's background?"

"Hey, you can't say that." Cao Peng waved his hand and said, "If you judge a hero by his birth, then General Wei Qing was a cavalry slave in the eldest princess's family in his early years. Even Gao Zu was only the head of the pavilion in Pei County, but But he was able to defeat the overlord of Western Chu after Xiang Yan, the famous general of Chu. This word of birth was bestowed on us by God... Maybe it's not fair! Whether you can make a career or not depends on yourself. If you follow your According to the saying, when Gaozu saw the Overlord of Western Chu, he didn't need to fight, he just surrendered..."

After all, Xu Yi was born in a wealthy family, and the concept of family status is more important than Dianman.

However, listening to what Cao Peng said, it seems that it is not unreasonable.

"Bodao, what do you think?"

"what?"

Hao Zhao didn't expect that Cao Peng would suddenly ask him.

After hesitating for a while, he smiled, "The general feels that what the young master said is very true."

"exactly……"

Cao Peng laughed and said: "Thinking back then, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were just two muddy legs, but they could say the heroic words of the emperor and general Xiangning. Now, I wait for the emperor's salary to share your worries. We are sitting here now, how do we know that ten years, 20 years, 30 years later, we will not be able to establish the achievements of Huo Hussars? I don’t believe it.”

After he finished speaking, he asked again: "Bo Dao, what are your ambitions?"

"ambition?"

When Hao Zhao hesitated, Cao Peng turned his head and looked at Xu Yi and Dianman.

"Me?" Dianman thought for a while, "What I hope most in this life is to defeat my father, to lead the way for the Lord, and to make great achievements."

"What about you?" Cao Peng looked towards Xu Yi.

Xu Yi thought for a while, "I... hope most to protect and grow the family, so that one day, the Xu family can become a century-old, thousand-year-old family."

The background of the two people is different, so the ambitions of the two people are completely different.

Dianman, more from the individual.

Xu Yi, on the other hand, focused more on the family.

After the two finished talking, they looked at Cao Peng.

"Ah Fu, what is your ambition?"

"I?"

This time really stopped Cao Peng from asking.

Since his rebirth, he has always thought of hugging a thigh to keep his family safe.

Going a little further, being a yamen, although not bullying men and women, can also make a big splash...

It's just that with his character, it's really not suitable for him to be a playboy.Most of the time, it's just thinking about it, and it's more like a joke.

Now, when Dianman and Xu Yi asked him, Cao Peng didn't know how to answer.

Sitting by the campfire, Cao Peng's face was illuminated by the light of the fire, and he fell silent.

Hao Zhao also looked at Cao Peng curiously, as if waiting for his answer.After a long time, Cao Peng raised his head and smiled slightly.

There was a trace of solemnity in this smile.

Under the light of the fire, it looked a little sacred.

"Ah Fu, why don't you speak?"

"I have a dream..." Cao Peng stood up suddenly and shouted loudly: "I would like to establish my heart for the world, I would like to establish my life for the people, I would like to inherit the knowledge of the past, and I would like to bring peace to all generations!"

Rumbling, there was thunder in the night sky.

It seems to be telling Cao Peng: You are a bit too pretentious!
But Cao Peng didn't realize it, he stood up suddenly and said loudly: "Anyone who offends me will be punished even if he is far away!"

More than 200 years ago, Chen Tang Gan Yanshou, a famous general of the Western Han Dynasty, uttered a cry in Shangshu, which became the backbone of the Han people for 2000 years.

Click, a flash of lightning flashed in the night sky.

It seems to be warning Cao Peng.

Pretend again, I will kill you!
It's just that although the lightning was terrifying, it couldn't hide the soaring arrogance in Cao Peng's heart.

Hao Zhao's face changed, showing admiration.

Dianman and Xu Yi were silent, looking at Cao Peng with respect.

It doesn't matter whether Cao Peng is from the heart, or to pretend.But his bold words really made Dianman Xuyi feel ashamed...

In comparison, the ambitions of the two are simply insignificant.

Ah Fu, really extraordinary!
Hurrah...a burst of heavy rain fell.

The people in the camp immediately ran and shouted, and got into the tents.

Cao Peng exhaled forcefully, and strode away, leaving only three teenagers sitting aside, looking at Dong Yu as if he didn't realize it.

————————————————————————

After a night of heavy rain, it finally stopped at dawn the next day.

However, the sky did not clear up, and it began to snow a little.This is also the first snowfall since the beginning of winter in Xuzhou...

None of the people talked about what happened last night, but Hao Zhao's attitude has obviously changed, showing a bit of respect.

Wearing the stars and wearing the moon, a group of people continued on the road despite the first snow.

In November of the second year of Jian'an, Cao Cao launched another war shortly after he defeated Yuan Shu and made a triumphant return.

This time, his opponent was still Zhang Xiu from Wancheng.

The failure of the first conquest of Wancheng made Cao Cao choke, unable to vomit.If Zhang embroidery is not removed, Wancheng is uncertain, after all, it is a confidant's trouble!
