Cao Thief

Chapter 564 Father is more expensive than son (12)

Its daybreak!
When the convoy set off again, the number of people increased by another three hundred and two people.

Cao Peng was not hypocritical, he directly threw Cao Zhangniu Gang into Zhang Xi's queue, and staged a scene of a ferry battle in the early hours of the morning.Zhang He was the main defense, Cao Zhang Niu Gang assisted, and Pound had to protect the convoy to cross the Huangshui safely.This undoubtedly increased the difficulty for Pound, and it was also a severe test for the White Camel Soldier.

Zhang Yun mainly used infantry, and in the previous drills, his mobility was obviously insufficient.

However, after the addition of Cao Zhang's three hundred cavalry, the strength was immediately enhanced... The exercise lasted from early morning to noon, and finally ended with Pound's failure.This is also the first tragic defeat of the white camel soldiers since they set off from Wuwei.

Everyone in the carriage listened to Cao Peng's comments and reviewed each other's shortcomings, and they all felt that they had gained a lot.

Cao Peng didn’t comment too much. After all, he wasn’t from a military background, so he could do it occasionally. If he was asked to comment professionally, he would be powerless.So, most of the time, he will listen!Quietly listening to everyone's discussion is also a huge gain for him.That night, after arriving in Yunwu County completely, Cheng Gongying went out of the city for ten miles and waited by the roadside!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++
After resting in Yunwu for a day, Cao Peng set off again.

But this time, compared to when he came out of Wuwei, his mood was a bit heavy.

Cheng Gongying told him that he had just received news that the candidate for the new governor of Liangzhou had been decided.However, it has not been notified yet who will take up the post.However, I heard that the new Inspector of Liangzhou has left Xudu and will arrive in Longxi soon.Regarding the identity of this mysterious governor of Liangzhou, Cheng Gongying also had some speculations.

Cao Peng was also puzzled!

The candidate for the governor of Liangzhou has yet to be decided.

Even Zhang He, the envoy from Xudu, didn't know the final candidate.

It is said that the most prestigious candidate at the beginning was Xia Houzhen's uncle, Xia Houyuan.But for some reason, Xia Houyuan later became Henan Yin, so he naturally faded out of people's sight.From the bottom of his heart, Cao Peng didn't want Xia Houyuan to take over Liangzhou.The reason is very simple, although he has quite a relationship with Xia Houyuan, he is not only Xia Houzhen's uncle, but also gifted horses and Cao Peng in the early years, which should be regarded as not bad.Moreover, Xia Houyuan was a man of real talent and learning. He had served as a local official and also served in the military.

At least, the gang of arrogant soldiers in Liangzhou will not confront Xia Houyuan head-on.

But the problem is that Xia Houyuan has a proud and staunch temperament.

He has talent, is he willing to be a puppet?

Was Xia Houyuan willing to turn a blind eye to Cao Peng's mark on Liangzhou?
In Cao Peng's view, Xia Houyuan would not!
He will try to erase Cao Peng's mark, even if they are related.The reason is very simple. How could Xia Houyuan, who is so arrogant, be willing to live in the shadow of Cao Peng?This has nothing to do with contradictions, but a face and self-esteem.Once Xia Houyuan wants to erase Cao Peng's mark, then Cao Peng's plan for Liangzhou will inevitably be affected.This is definitely not the result Cao Peng hoped to see, and Cao Cao must be able to see the clue.

Therefore, Xia Houyuan left the town of Henan Yin.

If it wasn't Xia Houyuan, then who could it be?

Cao Peng has been thinking about this question along the way, but he has not been able to get the answer for a long time.

Before they knew it, the chariots and horses had left Jincheng County and entered Longxi County.Even though it was spring, Longxi County still looked dilapidated.The marks left after the war cannot be erased in just two or three months.Even if Zhao Ang is extremely talented, it seems impossible to restore the vitality of Longxi County all at once.Most of the fertile land used to be barren.Walking for hundreds of miles, there is no human habitation... From time to time, there will be wreckage on the side of the road, making it even more desolate and desolate.

On the other hand, in the wilderness, the green weeds are green and full of vitality.

Cao Peng got out of the car and stood by the road, looking at the desolate wilderness, he couldn't help feeling emotional...

"The peaks are like clusters, and the waves are like anger.

Mountains and rivers outside and inside Guanzhong Road.

Looking at the western capital, I feel hesitant and sad, where the Qin Shijing traveled, all the palaces and palaces have been made of earth.

Prosperity, the people suffer; death, the people suffer. "

This song of sheep on the hillside perfectly describes the current scene of Longxi.

As the place where the strong Qin Dynasty rose, it is now dilapidated and withered.Thinking back to the time when the saying goes, "Those who win the Guanzhong win the world", I am afraid that the people who said this sentence will definitely not agree with the current scene.Cao Peng stood with his hands behind his back, letting the wind blow his robes fluttering.He sighed, but Cao Zhang behind him felt something, and nodded secretly...

At this moment, there was a desolate piano sound from the convoy.

Tune Ji Hu Jia for [-] beats, followed by a touching singing voice, which is exactly the song "Hillside Sheep" that Cao Peng just composed.

The song is sad and the tune is so sad that people can't help crying.

Hu Jia's [-] auctions were sorted out by Cai Yan after one year of returning from Shuofang.She adopted the sound of Hujia outside the Great Wall, combined with the sound of horizontal blowing in the army, and played it with guqin, forming a unique style of music.

Combining the Hillside Sheep and the Hujia Shiba Pai together, it also complements each other.

It's just that when singing, the pause in the middle requires extremely high skill.If he didn't know that Cai Yan was not there, Cao Peng would definitely think that this was sung by Cai Wenji.But listening to the voice, he could still hear that it was Luo Shen Zhen Mi's singing.

"Xiao Mi, stop singing!"

He couldn't help but interrupt, but Zhang He and the others kept rolling their eyes.

Zhen Mi has a beautiful singing voice, but it is not something ordinary people can hear.

In addition, her appearance is beautiful and charming, and she is so charming that even Zhang Yun secretly envies Cao Peng's love luck.Now it's hard to hear Zhen Mi singing, although the tune is sad, but it's also a kind of enjoyment.Who knows, but was interrupted by Cao Peng.

"Husband, could it be that Xiao Mi's singing is not good?"

The car curtain was parted, revealing Zhen Mi's charming face, with a look of doubt.

Cao Peng laughed loudly, "It's not bad, it's just inappropriate... I am a hillside sheep, but I feel it when I see it dying in front of my eyes. But your scene is a little more miserable. Let the soldiers, How can I cheer up?"

Zhen Mi peeked out, and saw the soldiers all looking sad.

"It's better to sing less for this decadent sound.

However, it is indeed unusual for Xiao Mi to send the tune into a song so quickly.

In my opinion, I am afraid that only Sister Cai can beat you... In this way, I will test you. Just now I saw wild grass growing in the wilderness, and I suddenly had a feeling, and I got a poem.Xiao Mi might as well try to sing, how about it? "

Zhen Mi is also a talented woman.

Perhaps, she is not as evil as Cai Yan, who can memorize more than [-] books.But his talent cannot be denied... In the history of Cao Zhi's "Luo Shen Fu", it can be seen from the words that he admired Zhen Mi's beauty, but also admired her demeanor.Grace is not something that can be possessed casually, it needs a special environment to breed.

For example, the divine sculpture of the later Jin Daxia, the little dragon girl is so refined and extraordinary, but it comes from her living in the ancient tomb and not caring about world affairs.

But Huang Rong's elves are weird, but she must be influenced by people like Huang Yaoshi.

Zhen Mi's demeanor lies not only in her beauty, but also in her unique temperament bred by her talents.

Although Cao Peng married Zhen Mi, he didn't know much about her.

With nothing else to do at this time, he suddenly felt like joking.

Back then, Cao Youxue was blushing because he plagiarized a line of poetry.But now, he has been able to remain calm and sway freely.

Although Zhang He is a warrior, he has also read poetry and books.

Pound was famous for his bravery in history, but he never let go of his knowledge.

As for Cao Zhang, even more so.

Forced by Cao Peng, he was able to recite the Three-Character Classic, the Thousand-Character Essay, as well as poems and treatises backwards.

On the carriage next door, the curtain was raised.

I saw a beautiful young woman who also poked her head out.

In her arms, sat a little boy carved in powder and jade, about three years old.Staring at the big black eyes, he looked this way curiously.

The woman is Jiang Jiong's wife, and the child is Jiang Jiong's son, named Jiang Wei.

Until now, Cao Peng has not figured out whether this Jiang Wei is the Jiang Bold in history.But this little guy doesn't recognize life, he has nothing to do on weekdays, and he likes to hang around Cao Peng.In line with the principle that he would rather kill by mistake than let it go.Cao Peng returned to Xudu this time, and Jiang Jiong also followed.He simply asked Jiang Jiong to go with his wife and children...

In terms of identity, Jiang Jiong is Cao Peng's retainer.

So it was not a big deal for him to bring his wife and children there.

Cao Peng thought for a while, then suddenly opened his mouth and chanted: "Li Liyuan is on the grass, one year old and one dry.

The wildfires are endless, and the spring breeze blows again... The ancient roads are invaded by distant fragrances, and the deserted cities are greeted by sunny greenery.He will also face the emperor, full of love. "

This is a decent Fu similar to a poem chanting things.

According to the regulations of the imperial examination, the word Fude must be added to the specified test questions, or before the questions.

According to legend, Bai Juyi traveled from Jiangnan to Chang'an at the age of 16, and brought this poem to Gu Kuang, a famous scholar at that time.Unexpectedly, after seeing Bai Juyi's name, Gu Kuang joked, "Chang'an is expensive, but living in a big place is not easy."However, when he saw "the wild fire is endless, and the spring breeze blows again", he couldn't help but applaud, saying: "If you have talent, how difficult is it to live?"

It can be said that this poem is one of Bai Juyi's representative works.

The first sentence is "from the grass on the original land, but it is in harmony with the ancient wild grass in front of you."The double word "Li Li" describes the lush spring grass, and it also captures the current season.The second sentence is "one year, one year, one dryness and prosperity", which writes the law of the ancient field grass and long trousers spring prosperity, the cycle of years, and the law of endless growth.The wildfires are endless, and the spring breeze blows and regenerates, isn't it the portrayal of Longxi County today?

Cao Peng is about to leave Liangzhou and return to Xudu.

Facing this place where he once fought, full of parting feelings...

It is not only suitable for the occasion, but also contains deep meaning.

Zhen Mi's eyes lit up involuntarily, and she couldn't help calling softly, "Good poetry!"

She gently brushed the strings with her slender fingers like suet white jade, and after a while, the sound of the piano was melodious, she opened the sandalwood mouth lightly, and sang leisurely.That singing is refreshing.Cao Zhang couldn't help applauding and applauding repeatedly.

The previous dull atmosphere also disappeared.

Not too many people know about Cao Peng's poetic talent.

For example, Bu Luan and Guo Huan once saw Cao Peng write poems in seven steps by the Dongling Pavilion River.

It was only later that Cao Peng became famous for his humble room inscription and Ailian theory, and wrote three more Mongolian poems, which covered up his "talent and learning" in poetry, so except for very few people, most of them didn't know much about it.Zhen Mi has heard about Cao Peng's talents for a long time, but rarely sees him show off.It's no wonder that since Cao Peng arrived in Liangzhou, he has been busy with government affairs and fought constantly, so how can he be in the mood to plagiarize?

Now that he will be returning to Xudu, he is much more relaxed...

Traveling long distances is bound to be boring.

Occasionally plagiarizing two poems can also adjust life.

When everyone went on the road again, they felt much happier, and they were no longer as monotonous as before!

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++
In this way, stop and go all the way.

Didao passed by without knowing it.

When passing Didao, Zhao Ang led his troops to meet him.

Cao Peng did not stay in Didao, but left directly.

Respectively, Zhao Ang reminded: "Young master, it is said that the new governor of Liangzhou has arrived in Lintao."

"who is it?"

"I don't know yet.

However, Yuan Zhi had already rushed to Lintao to meet him, and I should have gone too, but since the spring plowing had already started and things were busy, I asked Yuan Zhi to go. "

The implication is: I don't have your permission, so I won't meet the governor of Liangzhou easily.

Zhao Ang didn't follow Cao Peng for a long time, but he saw with his own eyes Cao Peng's policies in Wuwei and Hexi, and he agreed with them very much.

He was also worried that the new governor of Liangzhou would overthrow Cao Peng's previous efforts.

Therefore, he decided to stand on Cao Peng's side, ask Cao Peng's opinion, and then make a decision...

Cao Peng was secretly delighted, he thought for a while, and said: "Weizhang is busy with official duties, so it is understandable. But the governor of Liangzhou, after all, is appointed by the imperial court, and Wei Zhang is reasonable, no matter how busy he is, he should go to visit him , otherwise it will be a loss of etiquette."

I'm glad you respect me.

However, you should still go and have a look, even if it's just a rumor.

If it is because of this, it will not be beautiful...

Zhao Ang understood, bowed and said: "If it wasn't for the young master's reminder, Weizhang would have made a big mistake. To deal with the matter in hand, Weizhang will go to Lintao immediately."

"So, very good!"

At the moment, Cao Peng didn't stay any longer, and under the "escort" of Zhang Yun and others, he crossed Taoshui and went straight to Lintao.

Along the way, he was thinking about the identity of the governor of Liangzhou.

On the third day, the convoy entered Lintao.

Cao Peng was chatting with Cao Zhang and others in the car, when he suddenly heard a report from Tan Ma Lai: "Young master, the governor of Liangzhou led Lintao officials to meet you at the ferry on the other side of Taoshui."

"what?"

Cao Peng was taken aback!
The governor of Liangzhou welcomes me?
If officials from Lintao came to welcome him, Cao Peng would accept it.

After all, no matter whether it is Yan Xing or Hao Zhao, they are all his followers and disciples.

But the governor of Liangzhou...

This movement must have been too loud.

Since the governor of Liangzhou gave him such a face, Cao Peng naturally couldn't be rude.So I got out of the car quickly, and after walking to the ferry, I boarded the ferry that had already been prepared, and went to the other side of Taoshui.On the shore, crowded...

In the first place was a burly man, wearing a green straight train garment and a lun scarf, standing with his hands behind his back.

The wind blows across the river, rolling up Cao Peng's clothes and flying.From a distance, he could clearly see the appearance of that burly man, and he couldn't help being stunned.
