Cao Thief

Chapter 60 The Gaoqiu Pavilion of Wancheng (23)

The second one is here!
On the last day of the new book list, Lao Xin was cheeky and continued to ask for recommendations and collections...

————————————————————————————

Laohekou is located in the southwest of Wancheng.

It is about forty miles away from Xiyangju, and about ten miles away from Wancheng.Standing on a high place, you can vaguely see the banners in the direction of Wancheng.

Wei Yan and Cao Peng stood at the bend of the river, looking around.

According to Wei Yan, there should be a ferry here.But after searching for a long time, I didn't see a shadow of a ferry...

"Why is there no boat?" Cao Peng asked with a puzzled look.

Wei Yan scratched his head and said awkwardly: "How do I know? There used to be a lot of ferries here. I remember the last time I passed by here, three ferries stopped here."

"Uh, when was the last time you came here?"

Wei Yan thought for a while, and replied very solemnly: "Two years ago!"

I'll kill you!

Two years ago you passed by a lot of ferries, but now it is two years later, and the battle between Cao Cao and Zhang Xiu is over, how can there be ferries?

"Brother Wei, where else is there a ferry besides here?"

"To the east, about three or five miles away, there is a high hill pavilion, which is said to have been built in the Qin Dynasty, but it has been abandoned now. The river there is relatively gentle and narrow. But now in early spring, the ice and snow have melted, so I don't know whether the river is It's skyrocketed."

Cao Peng smiled wryly, "Then let's go and have a look."

It was around ten o'clock in the noon, and the sun was very warm, and it was very comfortable to shine on people.

The wind in early spring, although a bit chilly, is gentle, like a girl's slender jade fingers, brushing across her face.Cao Peng led the horse and walked side by side with Wei Yan.Neither of them mentioned the tragic killing the night before.But both he and Wei Yan knew that everything that happened that night was deeply engraved in the memory.Unless one day you can take revenge, you will never forget...

That hatred is unforgettable!

"Ah Fu, what do you plan to do when you go back this time?"

"If there is nothing to do at home, we will go to Tufu Mountain." Cao Peng exhaled forcefully, as if he wanted to let out all the depression in his chest.He was silent for a while, and said in a low voice: "Hutou's father used to do business without capital. He has some old brothers who are living in Fuyang. We may settle there first, and then wait for the future. Slow down."

Buying and selling without money is actually banditry.

A weird smile appeared on Wei Yan's face, and he said softly, "Are you a bandit?"

"Ok!"

"Those people are a group of good guys. Although I haven't been in contact with them, they have a good reputation in the local area. I didn't expect Hutou to have such a secret... His father, his status back then should not be too low. If so, when the time comes A good place to go." After Wei Yan finished speaking, his face straightened, and he lowered his voice and asked, "But I don't understand why you don't want to vote for Duke Cao? It's better than being a bandit."

"Voting to Cao Gong... Look at me, I have no strength to restrain a chicken, and my books are only "Poetry" and "On". It may not be valued by others. Instead of this, it is better to go back and slowly accumulate strength."

This word of origin is really too important!
Didn't Cao Peng think about recruiting Wei Yan?Of course I thought about it!But he knew that he didn't have that capital, nor did he have that strength.This year, birth and fame are two important factors to gain a foothold in the world.Of course, in addition to this, with some skills, you can make a career.Among other things, before Liu Bei got the title of "Uncle Liu Huang", he had no more than a few thousand soldiers under his command, and his advisers were nothing more than Sun Qian Jianyong.Even Guan Zhang was together because of his brotherhood.As for Sun Qian and Jianyong, he is all insignificant... He was able to gain a foothold in Xuzhou because he was married to a local wealthy family, so he gained a firm foothold.

Just drifting like this...

It wasn't until he got the title of 'Uncle Liu' that he began to form a team.

Don't you see, even Liu Pigong of the Yellow Turban Bandit came to join us?The reason is precisely because of his "Liu Huangshu" background.

Now that Cao Peng can't even compare to Uncle Liu Huang, who hasn't made a fortune yet, why should he try to recruit others?

People are valuable in having self-knowledge!

Cao Peng did a good job at this point.Since getting acquainted with Wei Yan, he has used various small means to get closer to him.As for the future... let's talk about it later.

He still doesn't have the qualifications to talk about the future.

After hearing Cao Peng's words, Wei Yan couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

In fairness, he is much better off than Cao Peng.At least he has a skill and can be regarded as a general.But the problem is, other than that, his and Cao Peng's situations are extremely similar.The same humble origin, the same no fame.So what can I do if I rush to Cao Cao's account rashly?It's amazing to start as a corporal leader, or even a corporal leader, and climb up step by step.

I know my own temperament!
Wei Yan has been a soldier for six years, and his military exploits are inexhaustible, the highest being a general.

Even if Cao Cao had the knowledge to know people, it would probably take five or six years before he could enter Cao Cao's field of vision.

In another five or six years, if he is two years old, he will be in his thirties soon!

There is no one to recommend, sometimes it is really a very headache.But how easy is it to find this recommended person?

Thinking of this, Wei Yan couldn't help but glance at Cao Peng.

In the bright sunshine, Cao Peng's thin face still has a bit of childishness.However, the clear eyes revealed a very calm and capable temperament.

In fact, what Ah Fu said was quite reasonable.

He has such a good overall situation, and he has a strong ability to observe the world.

If there are no accidents, he will definitely be able to stand out in the future... How about working with him and making some fame first?
This thought flashed in Wei Yan's mind, and he immediately shook his head in denial.

The situation between me and Ah Fu is different. I have passed my [-]th birthday. If I don’t work hard, I am afraid that I will not be able to achieve anything in the future. Ah Fu is still young, so he has enough time and reason to grow and accumulate strength.If I only seek attachment now, I am afraid that I will not be able to sit at the same table with him in the future.

Everyone has their own dreams!

The same goes for Wei Yan.

Moreover, he has a proud temper, and it is impossible for him to tolerate himself relying on a child who is weaker than himself.If this was the case, he would have ignored Yiyang's soldiers back then, and had gone directly to Wenpin.No matter how bad it is, I can still get the position of Juncao now...

The two had their own concerns, and they didn't speak any more along the way.

Suddenly, Wei Yan stopped, stretched out his hand and grabbed Cao Peng's arm.

"Brother Wei, why is this?"

"listen!"

Wei Yan had a solemn face, pretending to be listening attentively.

Cao Peng hastily listened attentively to himself, but only vaguely heard the sound of people shouting and neighing in the distance.From time to time, there was a series of screams, wrapped in the wind, and passed into Cao Peng's ears.

Is there a war ahead?
Cao Peng turned his head and glanced at Wei Yan, only to see that Wei Yan took two quick steps, prostrated himself on the ground, and put his ears on the ground.

"A cavalry team is coming here."

"how many people?"

"At least thirty or forty rides."

Cao Peng gasped and looked around quickly.

"Brother Wei, hurry into the woods."

As he spoke, he led his horse and ran towards a forest not far away.A thought flashed in my mind: Battle of Wan!Zhang Xiu's counterattack!
It must be so, it must be that Cao Cao fucked Lao Zhang's aunt and angered Zhang Xiu.

No, didn't it mean that Lao Zhang counterattacked at night?Why did you openly fight back in broad daylight?
Cao Peng ran into the woods while thinking.

Wei Yan followed closely behind. After the two entered the woods, Wei Yan looked around, "Ah Fu, can we hide here?"

Cao Peng glanced at the war horse beside him, gritted his teeth suddenly, and slapped the horse's butt hard.

The war horse was frightened, and immediately ran to the north.

Wei Yan shouted in shock: "Ah Fu, what are you doing?"

"Climb the tree, let's climb the tree!"

"what?"

"Stand tall and see far. No matter who is fighting, they will definitely not pay attention to it! Let's hide first, and then observe in secret."

Wei Yan thought for a while, Cao Peng was right!

So he didn't hesitate any longer, hung the sparrow behind his back, and using his hands and feet together, he quickly climbed up a tree.Cao Peng is easier!Although he is thin and weak, he is better than Wei Yan in climbing up and down.After climbing to the tree, Cao Peng stretched out his hand to wipe his body, but found that there was no self-defense weapon.His Han Huan Dao was lost when Xi Yangju was beaten unconscious by Wei Yan.

"Brother Wei, do you have any weapons?"

Wei Yan was not too far away from him. After hearing this, he immediately took out a dagger from his waist.

About forty centimeters in length, the sword and the stem are forged in one piece, and a layer of coarse cloth is wrapped around the black lacquered jujube handle, but there is no papaya hand guard.

This is the cavalry sword that the cavalry is equipped with. For Wei Yan, the purpose of decoration is greater than the role of combat.

He raised his hand towards Cao Peng, and then threw it high.Cao Peng sat on a branch as thick as his thighs, reached out to catch the dagger, thrust it into his waist, stood up immediately, and hid behind the thick trunk.Since the severe winter has just left and the early spring has just arrived, there are not many leaves on the trees.Fortunately, these big trees have continuous growth rings, luxuriant branches, and strong trunks.Hiding in it, if you look from outside the forest, it is difficult to find Cao Peng's figure.

Seeing Cao Peng's actions, Wei Yan followed suit, so he hid himself well.

Just as the two of them hid themselves, the sound of horseshoes in the distance was getting closer and closer. The sound of rumbling hooves, like thunder, reached Cao Peng's ears.

Cao Peng, staring eagerly...
