Cao Thief

Chapter 348 Walking with the Five Good Generals (22)

Hearing Zhang He's name, Cao Peng's first reaction was: awesome!

Of course, he is awesome, one of the five famous generals in later generations, a general who gets hotter and hotter as he gets older, a character who even Zhuge Liang would look up to him, how could he not be awesome?Whether it is history books or novels, this is a great general.Perhaps Zhang He's martial arts has never been top-notch, but as a general in charge of the army, his role in the late Three Kingdoms period must not be underestimated.

If it had been ten years earlier, Cao Peng would have taken him under his account.

But now, just thinking about it, he put aside the idea of ​​subduing Zhang He.

reason?

It's very simple, the current Zhang He is definitely not someone Cao Peng can recruit.He has established a great reputation in Yuan Shao's army, and even Cao Cao has heard of his name.Different from Gan Ning, Zhang He is the general of Ning country, although he is not famous, but he is also famous.Cao Peng can recruit a super-class fierce man like Gan Ning who is depressed and frustrated, but he can't touch a character like Zhang He.

Therefore, Cao Peng didn't even have the desire to summon Zhang He.

Now that Zhang He is his part, and he can't recruit him, why is he humiliating him for nothing?

He wasn't the kind of master who would step forward and loosen his ties after being scolded.Instead of meeting Zhang He face to face, it is better to send him directly to Cao Cao.If he surrenders, there will naturally be a chance to deal with him in the future; if he refuses... Cao Peng can't save him.The so-called out of sight, out of mind, Cao Peng is not willing to spend his thoughts on characters who are impossible and impossible to recruit.

But this Tian Fang...

Are all the Tian family members like this?
Tian Feng bluntly said that he committed a crime, this Tian Feng is arrogant and unruly.

It gives the impression that he is not a prisoner, but more like a superior.

Cao Peng was even more unwilling to pay attention to him, and after inviting him out, he immediately lay down on the couch again.

Tomorrow, we are going to Zhongmou!
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
Early the next morning, before Cao Peng woke up, he received an order: Cao Cao ordered him to cross the chasm immediately and go to Zhongmou.

Cao Peng's body is still a little weak, and when he stands up, he will feel dizzy.But since the military order came, Cao Peng would not refuse it.

However, he would not go riding again.

Not to mention that Zhao Yebai was also injured, even if Zhao Yebai was not injured, let Cao Peng, who walked as if he was stepping on a cotton field, ride a horse across the river?Obviously not realistic.Those who stayed on the east bank of the chasm had already prepared a carriage for him.After crossing the river, Cao Peng got into the car directly, and went to Zhongmu with the bumpy road.Zhang He and Tian Fang rode on horseback and went to Zhongmu with Cao Peng.

It seems that Zhang He is very calm.

Tian Fang wanted to talk to him along the way, but Zhang Hehe ignored him.

At noon, the team will arrive at Putianze.

Cao Peng felt that the bones seemed to be broken by the bumps, so he ordered the team to stop by the roadside, take a rest and then set off.

Xia Houlan supported Cao Peng and got out of the car.

After a long afternoon of driving, I am not exhausted, and my body seems to have recovered a lot.

Cao Peng pushed Xia Houlan away and walked around the carriage.The feeling of stepping on cotton in the morning has been relieved a lot. He stood beside the car, took a deep breath, and did Tai Chi on the spot.White Tiger's Seven Changes is also a technique for strengthening muscles and bones, but it is too vigorous.If Cao Peng's physical strength is at its peak, it will indeed have the effect of gaining momentum and strengthening his tendons.But now, Tai Chi is still more suitable.

In the distance, Tian Fangzheng said: "Junyi, why are you so obsessed?

That Yuan Shao was not the master of the Ming Dynasty, his uncle spoke out to persuade him, but ended up in a cage.Then the governor also sent people home to dismiss the clansmen and find another way out... I also, in the name of the head of the family, wanted to find a way out for my Tian family.Junyi, you have a great talent, if you submit to Duke Cao, you will have a bright future.It's better than being ostracized by Yuan Shao and working hard, but in the end he can only make wedding clothes for others for nothing.

There is a saying that a good bird chooses a tree to live in, and a good minister chooses a master to serve.

You are talented, why not seek a future for yourself? "

Zhang He ignored Tian Fang along the way, and when Tian Fang spoke, his gaze was fixed on Cao Peng beside the car.

"In other words, for the sake of the future, can you betray your friends and ask for glory?"

"I……"

Tian Fang wanted to explain, but Zhang He didn't want to talk to him any more.

To be honest, what Tian Fang did this time was indeed not open and aboveboard.

Zhang He believes in you, so he entrusts his back to you for protection.What kind of trust is this?But when Zhang He rushed into Ta Village, Tian Fang ordered the soldiers to retreat for more than ten miles, and then secretly abandoned the soldiers and horses to join Cao Cao, trapping Zhang He in a dangerous place.

It is also Zhang He's respect for Tian Feng's virtue, otherwise he would have punched Tian Fang with old fists.

If judged by moral standards, Tian Fang's actions are absolutely the behavior of a villain, how can he have a good face towards Tian Fang?
Zhang He took a step towards Cao Peng.

Han De and Xia Houlan stopped him, "What is General Zhang's intention?"

"Zhang, I just want to talk to that little general."

"You know my son?"

"Sir?"

Zhang He was stunned, showing a look of astonishment, and thought: Could it be that this young man is Cao Cao's son?

No wonder Zhang He, until now, he has not figured out who is his captor.After being captured by Hande, Zhang He was tied up with a rope and gagged.Hande was busy crossing the river at that time, so he didn't have time to talk to him.Later when Cao Peng came back, Zhang He and Tian were conveniently thrown into a separate small tent for custody.There are all black guards around, and they can't run away.

Except for the normal two meals, no one paid attention to Zhang He.

Zhang He was really impatient with the Hetian dialect, and saw that Cao Peng's Tai Chi was smooth and smooth, and there seemed to be some secrets hidden in it, so he became curious.

But when he heard Han De's question, he was a little embarrassed.

This battle was really useless.

It's fine to be betrayed by one's own people.The most embarrassing thing is that in the end, he didn't even find out who was his captive.

All he knew was that the man who captured him was Gan Ning, and the man in front of him was Han De.

He smiled wryly and said, "You dare to ask, but Mr. Cao?"

"You don't know my son?" Han De said, "Although my son is not the son of the lord, he is very famous."

"That hasn't been asked yet..."

"My son is the famous Cao Babai."

Zhang He was startled, and blurted out: "But that Cao Babai Cao Peng who wrote "Eight Hundred Characters" and is famous for his humble room inscription?"

"Exactly!"

Han De was about to continue talking when Cao Peng came from behind.

"General Zhang, do you have something to advise?"

Han De and Xia Houlan made way, and Cao Peng came to Zhang He.He was punching, but he could sense the movement around him.What's more, with Han De's loud voice, how could he not hear it.Signaling for Han Dexia Houlan to step back, he asked Zhang He with a smile.

Zhang He was about to step forward, but he felt a pair of sharp eyes staring at him from behind.

There was a sense of precaution in that gaze, as if warning him again.

Zhang He turned his head to look, and saw Gan Ning turning his head.He couldn't help but secretly startled: Where did Gan Xingba come from?Such a fierce general, why have I never heard of it?
Don't look at Gan Ning not looking at him, but Zhang He knows that as long as he dares to make any changes, Gan Ning will be the first to kill him.

Taking a deep breath, Zhang He cupped his hands and said, "I've heard about Mr. Cao's name for a long time, but I never thought that... Zhang He's defeat is not unjust."

He didn't mean to be flattering, but he meant it sincerely.

Cao Peng's fire in Baima was really vicious.Although Yuan Shao hated Cao Peng deeply, but Zhang He Gaolan talked about it in private, but secretly admired him.What's more, Cao Peng became famous for his prose. When he wrote the [-]-character prose, even Tian Feng was full of praise.

Zhang He respects Tian Feng very much.

"Oh, why should General Zhang care.

Friends have heard about the general's talent.There is a saying that victory or defeat is a common matter for military strategists, not to mention that the defeat of a general is not a defeat in a battle, but the death of Yuan Shao. "

"Appreciate further details."

Cao Peng smiled, "Who is in the world today?"

Zhang He said: "Naturally, the Han Dynasty belongs to the world."

"So where is the emperor today?"

"Xu Du."

"That's it...Since Dong Zhuo's chaos, the emperor has been displaced. My lord welcomes the emperor, and it is the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty to serve the emperor. But he didn't want to serve the imperial court, but supported the soldiers with self-respect.

I have heard people say that he had intended to establish a new emperor in Jizhou.

Today Zi is still alive, but he has such a rebellious idea, which is really embarrassing to Yuan Shi.

Since the emperor established Xudu as his capital, Sikong has done his best to cultivate fields, improve agriculture and mulberry, and crusade against rebels.

But Yuan Shao sits in the four prefectures, he issued government orders, and established courtiers, and he never paid tribute to the emperor.I would like to ask Jun Yi, what is his intention? "

"this……"

"Junyi, the one acts against the sky and is aggressive; the other acts against the sky and appeases the people.

In the battle of Suanzao, my lord heard that Yuan Shao wanted to slaughter the city in Suanzao, and he couldn't bear the misery of the people, so he protected [-] people to evacuate, and he didn't hesitate to put himself in danger. How kind and righteous is this?Let me tell you, Jun Yi, the reason why you lost today was because you helped the evildoers; and the reason why I won was because I obeyed God's will.You said, your defeat was not defeated by the sky, the imperial court, and the public opinion of the thirty thousand jujube people? "

Cao Peng was eloquent, but Zhang He was speechless.

Seeing that Zhang He didn't speak, Cao Peng smiled, "I'm sending Junyi to Zhongmou now, what should I do, Junyi can think for himself, that's all I have to say."

Zhang He cupped his hands and bowed to the ground.

"Zhang, be taught!"

"Okay, after dinner, we still have to hurry.

General Zhang might as well have a good rest. Forgive me for my poor health, so I won’t accompany the general to talk... Hehe, maybe the general will have a pleasant surprise when we arrive in Zhongmou. "

Cao Peng turned and left, Han De and Xia Houlan followed closely.

Zhang He stood there, motionless for a long time.It wasn't until someone brought food over there that he came to his senses and returned to the tree.

"Jun Yi, who is that man?"

Holding the bread in one hand, Tian Fang couldn't help asking.

Zhang He glanced at him, and suddenly smiled and said, "That's Cao Gong's nephew, Cao Babai, who is famous for his "Eight Hundred Characters"."

"what?"

Tian Fang shuddered, and the bread in his hand fell to the ground.

He really didn't know Cao Peng's origin, he surrendered on his own initiative, seeing that Cao's army didn't have many soldiers at that time, he thought that the chief general of Cao's army was no more than an army commander.It was also for this reason that he was so arrogant last night.But I didn't expect that it would be Cao Peng...

Zhang He knew Tian Fang very well.

This person has talent, but his temper is a bit arrogant, and he can't think highly of others.

Looking at his appearance, one can tell that he must be playing cool with Cao Peng.No wonder, Cao Peng ignored both of them along the way.

They are all talented, but Tian Fang's talent is far inferior to Cao Peng's name.

Zhang He suddenly felt a sense of joy in his heart, he stretched out his hand to pick up the bread from the ground, and stuffed it into Tian Fang's hand.

"Yusheng, don't waste it... We still have some pancakes to eat here, and we don't know when the next meal will be."

After speaking, he took his bread and took a bite.

Tian Fang, you have today too!

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++
Cao Peng is also very proud in his bones.

However, he didn't take Tian Fang to heart.

After lunch, the soldiers set off again.Just as Zhang He was about to get on his horse, he saw Han De striding over, "General Zhang, my son invites you to ride with us."

Zhang He was stunned, surprised and puzzled.

But he couldn't refuse Cao Peng's invitation, and followed Hande to the carriage.

"This general..."

"I'm not a general, I'm just the son's follower."

"Hehe, this brother!" Zhang He's temperament is soft but strong, and he is not a very staunch person.In history, he served as deputy general many times, assisting Xiahou Dun, Xiahouyuan and others.If he only knows how to be strong, he will definitely not be able to cooperate with these Cao Cao's confidantes.

It is also the "softness" in his temperament that enables him to win without arrogance, lose without discouragement, and finally become a famous player.

"I found out earlier that your horses seem to have strange equipment."

Hande smiled and said, "Are you talking about saddles and stirrups?"

"Exactly."

"This is created by my son, but apart from the military equipment of Mr. Cao, only my son's soldiers and horses have this kind of equipment."

"Young Master Cao, do you have such a fantastic idea?"

"Of course, my son is a genius, so what is this kind of thing?"

At this time, Hande has fully entered the role of a dog leg.Although he didn't know much about Cao Peng, it would not prevent him from praising him.As an excellent dog leg, one must be mentally prepared to be honored by the master and honored by the servant, and to be humiliated by the master to the death of the slave.Since he is determined to hug Cao Peng's thigh, why not do it more?You know, not everyone can hug Cao Peng's thigh!
When I came to the carriage, I raised the curtain.

Cao Peng laughed and said, "General Zhang, would you like to have a chat with me in the car?"

Zhang He hurriedly cupped his hands, "How can Zhang He shirk the invitation of the young master?"

So he boarded the carriage and sat in the carriage.

But he also knew that the possibility of taking hostages was too small.Not to mention that Cao Peng is also a person with martial arts skills, but Xia Houlan, who is driving the chariot, is at least at the level of a first-class general.As long as he makes any changes, Xia Houlan can definitely stop him, and then...

Although Zhang He didn't like Tian Fang's nagging, he had to admit that he was tempted!

If... just to say, if Cao Cao is really a master who can serve him, then it is not a bad thing to have a good relationship with Cao Peng.

Just take this opportunity to get closer to Cao Peng...
