Cao Thief

Chapter 285 Responding to a crisis (Part [-])
Luoyang Beiwei, really three hundred stones.

Among the many officials in the Eastern Han Dynasty, this is not a big official position, not even comparable to a county magistrate.However, this position has an extraordinary significance.Luoyang was the imperial capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the Luoyang Northern Lieutenant's responsibilities included the security of the northern city gate of Luoyang and the four neighborhoods including Yongmen.And these four neighborhoods are also the most prosperous and most populous in Luoyang...

When Cao Cao was the captain of the north, he killed Jian Shuo's uncle with a stick.

Today, Cao Cao entrusts the emperor to order the princes, and also adds a bit of unusual flavor to this northern Luoyang lieutenant.

The person who serves as the northern lieutenant of Luoyang must be a close minister of Cao Cao.Zhu Zan is a fellow of Cao Cao, and he and Cao Zhen are sworn brothers, which fits the concept of a close minister.

Now, Zhu Zan's sudden death immediately caused an uproar.

After Cao Zhen heard the news, he fell into a coma at that time.After waking up, I cried even more...

And Cao Cao was also very angry.

Is the situation in Luoyang so chaotic?

Even Luoyang Beibu Lieutenant could hardly save his life?

At the beginning of June, Luoyang Ling was deposed.Yin Xiahoudun of Henan wrote a letter to plead guilty, and Cao Cao dismissed Xiahoudun without saying a word.

Immediately afterwards, in mid-June, Cao Cao transferred Cheng Yu, the prefect of Dongjun, to take up the post of Henan Yin.

Cheng Yu was one of the earliest veterans who followed Cao Cao, and he was loyal to Cao Cao.

He has a strong temperament, tough methods, and extremely high tactics.During his three years as the prefect of Dongjun, Cheng Yu made sure that the roads of Dongjun were not picked up, and the door was not closed at night.Now, Cheng Yu is an extremely suitable candidate to serve as Henan Yin, who can quickly stabilize Gyeonggi.

However, now that Henan Yin is here, who will serve as Luoyang Commander?
The situation in Luoyang was already very complicated, but now that another Northern Captain had died, Luoyang was suddenly in chaos.

The forces of all parties are acting one after another, wanting to win the position of Luoyang Ling.Cao Cao was also in a dilemma. He really didn't know who to use.

"My lord, I recommend someone who can be Luo Yang Ling."

In the lobby of Sikong Mansion, Dong Zhao stepped forward.

Cao Cao said, "Who does Gongren want to recommend?"

"Sikong Cao Yu, Chen Qun and Chen Changwen from Yingchuan."

"Oh?"

Cao Cao frowned and looked at the people in the hall.

Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Xiahou Dun, including Cheng Yu, who was about to take office, were silent.

"Longwen, is your qualifications slightly insufficient?"

Cao Cao couldn't help but hesitated, and asked.

It is no wonder that Chen Qun is not yet [-] years old, and although he has been promoted as a talented person, he has no experience in governing.And Luoyang, the capital of the former emperor, was almost the same as the prefect in terms of rank.Moreover, Luoyang's current situation is complicated, and the forces of all parties are intertwined, so it can be said that fish and dragons are mixed.Chen Qun was young, not to mention whether he was suitable.Even if he is appointed as Luoyang Commander, will he be able to hold back the situation?

Before that, Luo Yangling was a veteran of the imperial court and had seniority.

And Xiahou Dun's military exploits are outstanding, and he is a close minister of Cao Cao, who can deter Xiaoxiao.

But now, Cheng Yu's experience is not a problem, Cao Cao is very relieved.However, Chen Qun's qualifications and prestige may not be able to gain a firm foothold in Luoyang.

Guo Jia coughed, "When it comes to qualifications and age, Changwen is indeed in debt.

But Sikong don't forget that Changwen's grandfather, Chen Shi, was one of the four elders in Yingchuan, with countless disciples and old officials, and a very high reputation.Chen Ji, the father of Changwen, is also a famous scholar in Yingchuan.Changwen was born in the Chen family and has a very high advantage.At least those high-school disciples in Luoyang must sell Changwen to save face.In addition, Changwen has an elegant temperament and is calm in situations.I have been wandering for many years, and I have a lot of experience.

Zhongde is good at firmness, while Changwen is good at softness.

This one is strong and the other is soft, complement each other, and it is easy to work together.If you change to a person with profound qualifications and a strong personality, you may not be willing to listen to Zhong De's dispatch.Moreover, since Zhongde is appointed as Henan Yin, it is best to ask him for his idea..."

Cao Cao's eyes immediately fell on Cheng Yu.

Cheng Yu is eight feet three inches tall and has a height of 190 centimeters.

In the hall, he was obviously the tallest, and as soon as he stood up, he immediately felt inexplicable pressure.

Cheng Yu, a native of Dong'a, Dong County, Yanzhou, had a beautiful beard and a dignified appearance.Seeing Cao Cao looking at him, Cheng Yu pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "What Feng Xiao said is very true."

He knows his own affairs well, and Cheng Yu is also very aware of his weaknesses.

The reason he can do so perfectly in Dongjun is because he is from Yanzhou himself, so he is naturally friendly to the local people.Moreover, Dongjun was dilapidated after Lu Bu's rebellion.A wealthy family with almost no prestige can enable him to carry out the executive order smoothly.

However, Luo Yang...

If you don't have a family background, it's really hard to do things.

After all, Cheng Yu's reputation is far from enough to intimidate the children of those aristocratic families.

But Chen Qun was different.He was born in Yingchuan, which is next to Luoyang, so he is also very familiar with Luoyang.The Chen family of Yingyin is one of the big families in Yingchuan.Chen Qun has fame, talent, and more importantly, he has an unparalleled grandfather!

Based on this alone, he can gain a firm foothold in Luoyang.

As for age and qualifications?
Being old and having seniority may not necessarily be able to serve as Luoyang Ling.

"In that case, recruit Changwen immediately."

Since Cheng Yu also recognized Chen Qun, Cao Cao naturally no longer had doubts.After a while, Chen Qun was brought to the hall and bowed deeply.

He had already heard that he was likely to serve as Luoyang Commander, so he was not surprised after Cao Cao's appointment.

"Changwen, you have a heavy responsibility to go to Luoyang.

First of all, you need to restore Luoyang to order as soon as possible, and you can't make it repeat itself.

Second, the situation in Luoyang is relatively bad now.Since Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Chang'an and burned Luoyang, the city of Luoyang has been in ruins, and if there is a war, it may not last long.

The former Luoyang Ling had been in office for four years because of his role as a chauffeur, but he did not bring much change to Luoyang.This time you go to work, you can no longer be like your predecessor, doing nothing and letting it go. .

Thirdly... you may have heard that Zhu Zan, the former Luoyang Northern Captain, was killed by a strange poison, and the cause of death has not yet been ascertained.I need you to investigate this matter as soon as possible and find out the murderer... Changwen, do you have any request?If so, just bring it up. "

The export of this sentence also showed Cao Cao's firm determination to rectify Luoyang.

Chen Qun pondered for a moment, then raised his head, his eyes brightened, "Sikong, if we go to Luoyang, we need someone, and this person must be the Northern Captain of Luoyang."

"Oh?" Cao Cao couldn't help raising his eyebrows curiously.

Cheng Yu said: "Who do you want to recommend as the Northern Captain?"

Chen Qun smiled without saying a word, and looked at Guo Jia.

"No, how can Feng Xiao serve as Luoyang Northern Captain?"

Before Cao Cao finished speaking, Guo Jia shook his head with a smile, "My lord, that's not the intention of the long article. Even if I agree, he probably doesn't like me."

"That……"

"I think, I have already guessed who the person recommended by Changwen is!"

--------------------------

In a blink of an eye, late summer will pass, and early autumn will come.

Outside the mountain, the sun was scorching hot, but there was still not a drop of rain falling.

However, because Cao Ji built the Cao bus, and under the personal supervision of Xun Yu, it was quickly promoted in Yuzhou.Until the beginning of June, Cao Ji traveled non-stop, leading the officials of the people and Cao, to the two most severely drought-affected areas in Chenqunliang County.About 300 Cao busses were set up along the river to draw water and open canals. There are more than [-] Cao buses, which does not sound like a large number. For the land of the two counties, it is just a drop in the bucket.

However, by the end of June, a total of more than [-] Cao buses had been erected in various parts of Yuzhou, which more or less relieved some of the drought.

Because of this, Cao Ji became the captain of Civil Cao.

Cao Cao is forcibly passing through, worshiping Cao Ji as a charioteer, in order to reward Cao Ji for his various contributions in the past three years.

Make a knife!

Re-open He Yi Workshop!

Cao Cao made a lot of contributions by making Cao Gong's plow, creating Cao Gong's chariot, and offering three treasures (saddle, stirrup and horseshoe).

While many were against, many were in favor.

Unexpectedly, Kong Rong and other people who thought they would strongly oppose, remained silent.

This has something to do with Cao Peng writing the [-]-character essay before, and then learning from Hu Zhao again.To some extent, people like Kong Rong recognized Cao Peng's literary talent.At the same time, Fengchehou is just a name, with no real power, no food, and no big deal.Since Emperor Huan, there have been countless such titles.Even an eunuch can be a marquis. Cao Ji has done so many things and made so many contributions, why can't he get a title of Marquis?In this regard, Kong Rong and others have no objection.

However, the various changes in the court have nothing to do with Cao Peng.

At this time, he was in Luhun Mountain, listening to lectures and doing homework in Wolongtan Academy every day.In his spare time, he took Guo Huan and Bu Luan to visit mountains and rivers and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Wolong Valley.There is a cool breeze in the mountains and the flowers are blooming.Walking in it is always refreshing...

"Zhou Qi, are you practicing martial arts again?"

Early in the morning, Cao Peng saw Zhou Qi and several young people practicing martial arts by the pool.

Cao Peng walked over and greeted them.

Zhou Qi and others responded one after another: "Ah Fu, I came late today."

The mountain people are simple and honest, and they are brave and ruthless.After Cao Peng came to Wolongtan, he realized this.So he took the initiative to teach Zhou Qi and others boxing skills.Of course, he couldn't teach Zhou Qi like teaching Wang Mai Deng Fan, after all, there is a difference between closeness and closeness.

Zhou Qi and others were not convinced at first, so they challenged Cao Peng.

Most of their punches and kicks are wild, without any rules.Although he often fights with others, he can't compare to Cao Peng, a first-class master who has experienced battlefield killings and life and death tests.Cao Peng beat Zhou Qi four or five by himself, very relaxed and effortless.Fortunately, people like Zhou Qi can afford to lose!After being defeated by Cao Peng, he began to follow Cao Peng's teachings and practice boxing every day.

After coming and going, the relationship between Cao Peng and these young people is very good.

"Where is it late?" Cao Peng said with a smile: "In the morning, the mountains are foggy and humid, so it is not suitable for practicing.

There must be rules and regulations in this practice, and you can't just practice it casually.In the future, when there is heavy fog, it is best not to practice, but to recuperate at home. "

In the mist, it is inevitable that there will be various impurities.

Therefore, practicing in the fog can easily have the opposite effect.

After Cao Peng finished speaking, he hung his clothes on a tree, moved around the pool, and then began to practice the seven transformations of the white tiger.

The seven changes of the white tiger are actually similar to the seven movements that imitate the habits of a fierce tiger.

Tiger pounce, tiger crotch, tiger roar, tiger sit, tiger hug, tiger turn over and tiger flick.The seven actions can be independent, but they are also interrelated.This is the most primitive imitation tiger boxing. Every movement is a fusion of Taoist cultivation methods, which was evolved by Zuo Ci painstakingly.

This way of practicing can initially strengthen the body and maintain vitality.

Cao Peng found that according to this practice method, in the end, he could condense the 'potential', which is also the kind of exercise he needs most at present.

Seven movements, very difficult to do.

After each drill, Cao Peng was always sweating profusely.

The qi and blood are strong, and the bones are vigorous, and then a set of Tai Chi can make the qi and blood solidify, and the bones are strong.

Practicing once a day, Cao Peng can gain a lot.The scenery of Wolongtan is pleasant, and it happens to be suitable for the cultivation of Taoist exercises.

In the past two days, Hu Zhao went out to Luhun, so the lecture was suspended.

Cao Peng has more time, and the time for practicing kung fu has also been extended accordingly.

Overall, this visit to Luhun Mountain has yielded a lot.Only vaguely, Cao Peng felt that Sima Yi was not as enthusiastic as he was at the beginning.

In Zhou Qi's words, "Sima Yi is so arrogant that no one will take notice of him."

But Cao Peng disagreed.

Sima Yi is not withdrawn, nor is he a hard-to-reach person.He could roughly sense that the reason for Sima Yi's change was probably due to his inner pride.Perhaps, when he first came to the academy, he was too sharp and made Sima Yi feel pressured.A person like Sima Yi would never allow himself to be inferior to others.It can be seen from the fact that he holds books and studies hard all day long.He is working hard, and he hopes to surpass Cao Peng... After all, he has a good background and is old, so it is difficult for him to bear the reality of being inferior to Cao Peng.

Competitive...

This Sima Yi is not up to the level of the later Sima Yi.

After practicing boxing and kicking, Cao Peng, Zhou Qi and others greeted each other, then Shi Shiran walked home.

After changing his clothes, he sat on the simple bamboo porch, picked up a volume of "On", and prepared to read it carefully.This "On", the more you read, the more mysterious it becomes.It seems to be a question and answer between Zhongni and his disciples, but it contains countless principles of life.

Learning and learning, to put it bluntly, is learning to be a human being.

Cao Peng is quite comfortable now, enjoying this leisurely life...

"Son!"

Just when Cao Peng calmed down, Bu Luan hurried over, "Mr. is back, and he wants you to go see him right away."

"The teacher is back?"

Cao Peng was taken aback, feeling a little surprised.

Hu Zhao left in a hurry, so Cao Peng didn't know what he was going to do.

Now he came back in a hurry, and when he came back, people came to find him... Could it be that something happened?

Cao Peng hurriedly boarded the black shoes, handed the scroll to Bu Luan to pack it up, and then went straight to the back hall of the academy.Outside the door of the back pavilion, Sima Yi was waiting for him.Seeing Cao Peng approaching, he stepped forward and said softly, "Youxue, the teacher has been waiting for you in the study for a long time."

"Brother, what happened, the teacher is so anxious to find me?"

"I'm not sure...but the teacher came back with three people, so hurry up."

Cao Peng didn't dare to delay, and hurried to the door of the study.

Taking off his black shoes, he climbed onto the porch and walked into the study...

As soon as he entered the door, Cao Peng was stunned!
