Cao Thief

Chapter 42
Today I updated [-] words, begging for recommendations, clicks, and favorites.

Guess, which big bull will Xiao Cao meet in the Nine Girls City?
The answer will be revealed tomorrow!

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

"Are you going with your uncle and grandson?" Mrs. Zhang became anxious when she heard this.Seeing her screaming, she jumped up and shouted: "No, you can't go. You are so young, what's the use of following the past? Besides, it's a barracks, what are you doing there?"

Can't help but Zhang's disapproval, Cao Nan also objected.

Deng Ji's eyes were red, and he stepped forward to hold Cao Peng's hand, and said with some emotion: "Ah Fu, your brother-in-law has taken your heart... But I can't take you there. In the barracks, fish and dragons are mixed, what kind of There are people. If something happens to you, how can I feel at ease? Listen to brother-in-law and stay with your parents and your sister at home. When I come back from work, I will definitely take you to have a good time. "

Damn it, I'm not a child!
Cao Peng smiled wryly in his heart, but he didn't respond, instead he looked at Cao Ji.

"Baby's father, you should say something."

Cao Ji raised his head slowly, looked at Cao Peng, and asked in a deep voice, "Peng'er, if you go with your brother-in-law, how can you help him?"

As he spoke, Cao Ji glanced at Cao Peng's arms and legs.

That means clearly: Don't say that you can protect your brother-in-law's safety, your small body is probably useless in the barracks.

Cao Peng smiled brightly.

That smile calmed the depressed Zhang family, and even made Deng Ji stand aside, giving Cao Peng a sense of confidence.

"Father, as the saying goes, a brother who fights a tiger is a father and son a soldier.

I'm not saying my brother-in-law is bad, it's just that he is too honest and easily bullied.If I follow him, at least I can help him make suggestions... I'm not saying how good I am, but in some respects, I can save my brother-in-law a lot of unnecessary troubles.Just like what my brother-in-law said just now, fish and dragons are mixed in the barracks. If he doesn't have someone who understands to help him, he will easily suffer.

Unfortunately, the child should be considered a sensible person..."

Cao Ji and Wang Meng nodded in unison.

How could this kid understand?Being able to sit down with Sima Hui and Pang Yuan'an to talk about the general trend of the world is like knowing that there is no limit...

Cao Peng went on to say: "The second point is that I am young and follow my brother-in-law, so I don't attract attention. There are some things that I can do, but my brother-in-law can't. So, although my body is not strong , but my brain should be passable.

Besides, I have grown up so much, and I have never seen much of the world.

Gan Luo became prime minister at the age of 12, and Huo Huoqi chased and killed the Huns for thousands of miles, making the Huns frightened.I remember the old god who taught me knowledge said that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books.Brother-in-law is recruited, isn't Yu Hai'er also an opportunity to increase his knowledge? "

What is fighting a tiger brother, what is reading thousands of books...

Cao Ji had never heard these sayings, but it didn't mean he couldn't understand the meaning.

Thinking about it, it does make some sense.

Cao Ji thought for a while, and was about to speak.Wang Mai said from the side: "Father, uncle, let me go with Ah Fu. Ah Fu is very smart, and my child's martial arts is not too bad. Although it is not popular, ordinary people can handle it, just enough to protect Ah Fu and Two brother-in-laws. And I am about the same age as Ah Fu, and it is not eye-catching to go with my brother-in-law. Besides, Ah Fu said just now that Dahu is a brother. Although he and I are not brothers, we are better than siblings. I will go with him In the past, I could take care of it more.”

Wang Meng froze for a moment, then smiled.

And Cao Ji thought about it, and felt that there was some truth to this statement.

Mrs. Zhang said: "Hutou, even if you go, wouldn't it be better to let your uncle or your father follow?"

Cao Peng immediately objected, "Mother, if Dad and Uncle Wang go there, it will be too eye-catching. Hutou and I are young and do not attract attention, but Dad and Uncle Wang... I think it is enough for me to go with Hutou .Anyway, it won’t be long, so it’s time to play.”

Although Deng Ji wanted to object, he couldn't find any reason.

Wang Meng and Cao Ji looked at each other, Cao Ji got up and said, "If that's the case, then it's settled! Peng'er has big ambitions, so don't object to the child's mother. Besides, Uncle Sun is a learned man. Man, as long as his three brothers are of one mind, nothing will happen.

Pharaoh, turn on the stove for me.

I made two weapons for my uncle and grandson, and I gave Ah Fu a tiger head by the way, and repaired two armors. Since I was going to the barracks, I couldn't go there empty-handed. "

Fortunately, Deng Ji hired Cao to repair weapons before, so it is not too difficult to reorganize two or three sets of equipment.

Mrs. Zhang and Cao Nan saw that the matter had been decided, so they couldn't object anymore.

Although he was still a little apprehensive, compared to the helplessness just now, he was more or less stable.

"Brother-in-law, is there going to be a war?"

Cao Peng and Deng Ji also went to help Cao Ji, and Cao Peng asked in a low voice in private.

Deng Ji no longer regards Cao Peng as a simple ignorant boy.Not to mention Cao Peng's future status as a Lumen disciple, just based on what he said just now, at least he is a sensible person.Talking to a sensible person, this tone is naturally different, and the tone is a little more dignified.

"Well, I heard that Cao Sikong is going to send troops!"

Cao Sikong is Cao Cao.

The first year of Jian'an was undoubtedly an extremely important year for Cao Cao.

In the first month, he adopted the advice of Xun Yu and Cheng Yu, and decided to meet the Emperor of Han in the west; in February, Cao Cao attacked the Runan and Yingchuan Yellow Turban Army, transferred his base from Yanzhou to Yuzhou, and was named General Jiande because of this. In June, Cao Cao moved to Zhendong General and named Feitinghou; in July, he went to Luoyang to welcome the emperor of Han, pretended to be a festival axe, and recorded the affairs of the minister, thus achieving his strategic commanding heights.

In September, Emperor Han granted Cao Cao the title of General and Marquis of Wuping.

However, due to Yuan Shao's reasons, Cao Cao quickly asked the general and Yuan Shao to serve as Sikong, driving and riding generals.

In October, Cao Cao conquered Yang Feng and took in Liu Bei, who had lost his wife and son after being beaten by Lu Bu, and had nowhere to go...

"Liu Bei?"

Deng Ji smiled and nodded, "That's right, it's Liu Bei."

In words, Deng Ji did not show respect for Uncle Liu Huang, as if he was talking about an ordinary person.

Didn't it mean that Liu Bei is very popular among the people?
Cao Peng couldn't help asking: "Who is this Liu Bei?"

"Well... I don't know too well. I only heard that this person, Gongsun Zan, and Liu Deran were once teachers of Lu Zhi. Later, when the Taipingdao Rebellion broke out, this person led the crowd to follow Zou Jing in the crusade against the rebels, and became Anxi. County lieutenant. However, this person was not very safe, and soon died because he tied Du You and hung his seal... Later, the general He Jinguang recruited troops to resist the rebels in the Taiping Road. I went to Xiami Chancellor. I didn’t work in Xiami for long, and moved to Gaotang County Lieutenant, and later became Gaotang Commander.”

Cao Peng really hadn't seriously inquired about Liu Bei's affairs.

One is because he didn't have this opportunity, and the other is because Liu Bei's reputation is not very famous.

At least in Nanyang County, there are not too many people who know Liu Bei.Deng Ji, as an official in Jiyang County, handles official documents, so he has access to this information.If it was another person, maybe they still don't know who this Liu Bei is.

It's just that according to Deng Ji's statement, it seems to be different from Cao Peng's understanding.

And from Deng Ji's tone, it can be heard that he is not particularly interested in Liu Bei...

"What then?"

"Later, he was defeated by the remnants of the Taiping Dao, and defected to Zhonglang General Gongsun Zan as the Sima of the other tribe. Then he followed Tian Kai, the governor of Qingzhou, and fought several times with Yuan Shao, the shepherd of Jizhou. He made military exploits and led Pingyuan. When Cao Sikong conquered Xuzhou, Liu Bei abandoned the plains and went to rescue Tao Qian in Xuzhou, and Tao Qian valued him very much.

Tao Qian also presented Liu Bei as the shepherd of Yuzhou, but was not approved, so he settled in Xiaopei.After Tao Qian's death, I don't know what method he used to take over Xuzhou and defeat Yuan Shu, so he gained a lot of fame.It's just that this person took Lv Bu back later, was attacked by Lv Bu against Xuzhou, and became Lv Bu's subordinate... In short, this person gives me the feeling that he is also facing Qin Muchu, not an idle person. "

Cao Peng didn't know whether this was the opinion of Deng Ji alone, or the opinion of the majority.

But the situation is quite different from what he imagined, and the overall feeling is not very good...

"Ah Fu, go to the warehouse and get that iron halberd and snake spear."

Cao Peng agreed, and hurried to the storeroom, taking an iron halberd and snake spear about one foot two feet away from the door in his hand.

The snake spear weighs about forty catties, which is different from ordinary spears.

The so-called snake spear does not mean its shape is like a snake, but its length.Han Liuxi's "Shi Ming-Shi Bing" said that the length of the spear is eight feet long, which refers to this kind of spear.The iron halberd snake spear is different, its length is slightly shorter, the ridge of the spear blade is raised, and the sides of the ridge are slightly concave, which can circulate air and facilitate pulling out.At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were not many people who used Zhangba spears, but there were many iron halberds and snake spears.

Cao Peng handed the snake spear to Cao Ji, and asked suspiciously, "Father, are you going to repair the spear?"

"Hutou is not good at using knives, but likes to use spears.

I found this snake spear yesterday, its foundation is not bad, after repairing it, although it can't be said to be a magic weapon, it can still kill people through double-armor.In a while, I will give you a knife and a sword for my uncle and grandson.You two, go pick and choose, and see if you can find someone you can take advantage of. "

It can be seen that Cao Ji is very attentive.

The son and son-in-law are going to the barracks, and there is a guy in hand, so they can be more safe.

Cao Peng agreed, then called Deng Ji, and went to the warehouse to choose.

This warehouse is a wing room in the front yard.There are three rooms in the front yard, Wang Meng and his son each occupy one room, and the remaining room has been turned into a warehouse for storing weapons.The two walked into the wing room, talking while choosing weapons.

"Brother-in-law, where did you just say?"

"Oh, Liu Bei..."

"No, it's about Cao Sikong sending troops."

Deng Ji slapped his forehead and said with a smile: "When you interrupted me, I almost forgot the business."

Cao Cao took Liu Bei in and was about to attack Xuzhou when news spread that Zhang Xiu entered Wancheng and formed an alliance with Liu Biao.

To be honest, Cao Cao is not afraid of Liu Biao, nor is he afraid of Zhang Xiu's uncle Zhang Ji.

But towards this Zhang Xiu, she was somewhat afraid.

As early as when Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, Zhang Xiu was a well-known general of Xiliang.He is not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also proficient in military strategy.

When Zhang Ji was alive, Zhang Xiu was still somewhat restricted.

But Zhang Ji died, he held the Xiliang army in his hand, and with the help of Liu Biao, he settled in Wancheng, like a nail driven into Cao Cao's back.

For this reason, Cao Cao even gave up his plan to attack Xuzhou and returned to Xudu quickly.

Deng Ji picked up an iron sword and swiped it twice in the air.

"I reckon that Liu Jingzhou's sudden reuse of the Nine Girls City this time is for this matter." After finishing speaking, he nodded in satisfaction and said with a smile: "That's all, I'll take it for Dad, and let me give it to you." Let him fix it. Ah Fu, have you chosen your weapon yet?"

"I'll take a look."

Deng Ji nodded, and walked out holding the iron sword.

When he reached the door, he stopped suddenly, turned his head to look at Cao Peng and said, "Ah Fu, why did you recruit me this time?"
