Cao Thief

Chapter 601 Yiren, Ruyu

In the afternoon, the word document suddenly crashed, so I had to delete it, download it again, and change the system.

The state is not very good, but I still hope to get support.

Changshe is located in the north of Xudu and west of Youshui.

It was originally in the Spring and Autumn Period that Zheng Guochang Ge Yi.Later, it was said that because the trees in the temple grew rapidly, it was named Changshe. "Historical Records of Qin Benji" records: In the 23rd year of King Zhaoxiang, Ke Qing Hu Shang attacked Wei Changshe.In the first year of Zhongping, Huangfusong, a famous general in the Eastern Han Dynasty, once set fire here and defeated the Yellow Turban Bandits.

"General Gao!"

It was getting dark, and the mighty mission arrived outside the city of Changshe.

Cao Peng and the Changsha officials went out of the city to greet them and stood at the front.Changshe is the barrier to the north of Xudu.If the Changshe is lost, it will be a flat river, and you can reach Xudu day and night.Therefore, the rank of officials in Changsha is one level higher than that of counties of the same size.But even so, the Changshe Commander, big and small officials, still stood respectfully behind Cao Peng, but no one objected.

Cao Peng, not a small county magistrate, can be compared.

Although he is only an official translator, he cannot compare with the county magistrate in terms of power.However, no one dared to show arrogance because Cao Peng was the official translator.

Under the city gate, the lights are bright.

Cao Peng saw Gao Shun coming on horseback from a distance, with a fiery red flag under his back.

Tigers and leopards riding hula la are divided into two rows, giving way to a passage.Gao Shun got off his horse, and after a few quick steps, he was startled when he saw Cao Peng.

"Cao... Ah Fu?"

"Hehe, General Gao, please stay safe."

When Cao Peng heard this, he couldn't help laughing out loud.

It's no wonder that Gao Shun was a little confused, and couldn't recognize Cao Penglai.Speaking of which, he and Cao Peng did not have a few contacts.Full play and full calculation, that is, when Cao Peng was framed by Lu Ji in Wenhou Mansion, the two met and talked face to face.The other times, Gao Shun stood behind the others and never spoke.He was taciturn by nature, and although he was respected by Lu Bu at that time, his status was relatively not too high.

Gao Shun is not one of the eight generals.

Even if he is loyal, he will only stop at the position of General Zhonglang in the end.

Even when Lu Bu was galloping the world, Gao Shun didn't even have the chance to lead the army alone.It has been almost ten years since I last met Cao Peng.At that time, Cao Peng was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and he was relatively thin, so he showed a delicate spirituality.

Now what?
Cao Peng looked burly and strong.

At least in terms of physique, Gao Shun really couldn't recognize him.

In his mind, Cao Peng is still the thin, thin, handsome boy.It looks like it is now, majestic and burly, already a manly man.

"Young Master Cao, please stay safe."

Gao Shun saluted Cao Peng solemnly, and Cao Peng accepted it frankly.

As far as he is concerned, he received this gift with peace of mind.If it wasn't for the fact that he had privately indulged the Lu family, Gao Shun would have turned into a tomb of dead bones.To put it bluntly, Cao Peng was Gao Shun's savior.Therefore, even though Gao Shun is now an envoy of Lu's Han Kingdom, he can accept Gao Shun's worship without any burden in his heart.

"General Gao, a banquet has been set up in the city, and it happened to be drunk with the general."

As the host, Cao Peng naturally greeted him warmly.

Unexpectedly, Gao Shun shook his head, "Young Master Cao, you should know my temperament.

I have a heavy responsibility and I don't drink alcohol.So, let's skip this banquet... Please, my lord, prepare a place for us, and rest early.Tomorrow morning, I have to go to Xudu.If the young master wants to drink, after Gao Shun's trip is completed, he must get drunk with the young master. "

No wonder, Gao Shun's status in Lu Bu's army has never been high.

In the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was really not easy to find someone who was not good at drinking.Most of the people around Cao Peng like wine!Whether it's Gan Ning, Xia Houlan, or Pan Zhang Pound... Not to mention, people like Dian Wei and Xu Chu who must have wine and meat to satisfy their meals.Of course, like Gan Ning and others, most of them can be distinguished.They know when to drink and when not to drink.But if we say that Gao Shun's character of never drinking once he has something to do, it is indeed very rare.

Moreover, this guy speaks too straightly!
Cao Peng ignored the soft complaints from the officials behind him, and smiled slightly, "General Gao, after nearly ten years of separation, your serious temper has not changed."

Gao Shun was taken aback for a moment, then laughed out loud.

With an apologetic face, he bowed his hands to Cao Peng, "Don't blame me, my lord, because Gai is obedient to this trip and has a heavy responsibility, so he made an oath when he set off that he would never drink alcohol."

"Alright, it's been a hard journey, and the horses and horses are exhausted, so it's a serious matter to take a good rest.

The residence has been arranged properly, and all the horses and horses of the mission can be accommodated.General, please follow me into the city. Let's talk while walking. "

As he said that, Cao Peng reached out and grabbed Gao Shun's arm, and the two walked arm in arm.

At this time, Cao Zhen took the initiative to act as his deputy and ordered the tigers and leopards to station outside the city.

Cao Peng felt a little uncomfortable as he walked.

Behind him, there seemed to be a pair of eyes staring at him.But he couldn't stop and look back.Fortunately, there was no murderous intent hidden in that gaze, that is to say, the other party was not malicious.Cao Peng is not worried about danger!This is the Changshe, so to speak, it is his territory.Not everyone in the world is Leng Fei, maybe it's just a member of the mission, curious about him?
Outside the gate of the posthouse, Cao Peng stopped suddenly, and when he turned sideways to make way, he suddenly turned his head.

But behind him, they were all members of the mission.

The sky was dark, and it was impossible to see clearly. Who was it that stared at him just now...

"General Gao, please."

"Young Master Cao, please."

After looking at each other, the two smiled and walked into the post house together.

The postmen in the posthouse have already arranged the rooms properly.The place of Changshe is different from other county towns, it has the nature of a military town.The post house is large enough to accommodate members of the entire mission.Cao Peng and Gao Shun chatted for a while, and saw that it was getting late, so they got up to leave.Walking out of the gate of the post house, he stopped suddenly, looked up at the dark night sky, and took a deep breath.

Perhaps, many people have not noticed the appellation between Cao Peng and Gao Shun.

It stands to reason that Gao Shun, as an envoy of the Lu family, represented the dignity of the Lu family.He was in Lu's Han Dynasty, and he was appointed as the Grand Sima. Cao Peng should not call him "General"; in the same way, Gao Shun should not call Cao Peng "Master" either.

These two titles, to a certain extent, continued the friendship in Xuzhou that year.

Gao Shun didn't refuse Cao Peng still called him "General Gao", and Cao Peng didn't refuse the title of "Young Master".

From this point of view, Cao Peng knew that Gao Shun came to Xudu with sincerity.In other words, he didn't just want to be attached, but more, he came to repay Cao Peng's private indulgence.The two titles also represent that both sides remember the friendship of the past...

Presumably, the surrender of the Lu family to the Han Kingdom will not cause too much of a problem.

Cao Peng's heart also relaxed.

The pair of eyes that stared at him just now were forgotten.According to Gao Shun, most of the members of the mission on his trip were soldiers who were trapped in the camp back then.If so, that is to say, there must be someone who knows Cao Peng.Gao Shun has another request, which is to find the family members of the soldiers who were trapped in the camp.He hoped that when he left the Central Plains, he would wait for those family members to leave together.

For this request, Cao Peng readily agreed.

Since Lv Bu's account had the establishment of the trapped camp, the personnel have been changed one by one.

When the Lu family left Xuzhou and went overseas, most of the members of the camp were local people from Xuzhou.Its members are mainly concentrated in Xiapi, Pengcheng and Peiguo.Gao Shun has a list in his hand, which he handed over to Cao Peng just now.For Cao Peng, this matter is not difficult.According to the address on the list, send someone to look for it.Even if Cao Peng doesn't help, Cao Cao will intervene.It's not so much a request as a favor... So, Cao Peng didn't feel the pressure at all...

After leaving the posthouse, Cao Peng immediately found the postmen, packed the list, sent it to Xudu overnight, and reported it to Liu Ye.

"Please Da Honglu make three copies. Keep one copy and submit the other copy to Sikong. I will ask for the remaining copy after I return it to Xudu."

"Understandable."

The postman didn't dare to neglect, so he quickly prepared his horses and rushed to Xudu in the starry night.

As for Cao Peng, he returned to his residence.

He lived in a house not far from the post house.

As soon as he entered the door, Cao Peng saw Cao Zhen sitting in the hall, feasting.

"Brother, why do you look like a starved ghost reincarnated?"

Cao Peng walked into the room with a smile and sat down at the table.

Cao Zhen didn't say anything, he filled a glass of wine for Cao Peng, and another glass for himself, and drank it down without saying a word.He wiped the wine stains on the short beard under his chin, let out a long breath, and said to Cao Peng: "That Gao Shun is just like a piece of wood. I stayed with him for two days, but I was about to be suffocated to death. Ask him, ten sentences There is an answer in it; invite him to drink, but he is a teetotal guy.

Life is boring, life is boring..."

When Cao Peng heard this, he couldn't help laughing.

He could roughly guess Cao Zhen's embarrassed appearance.

"Brother, what you said is not right. I think General Gao is quite friendly."

"That's for you!"

Cao Zhen couldn't stop complaining, and said with a wry smile: "Believe it or not, from the time I received him to just outside the city, it was the first time I saw him smile for two full days. Usually when I'm with him, I always keep a straight face, as if Who owes him money. That is to you, he smiled today. If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I didn’t even think this guy would laugh at all. If you invite him to watch the song and dance, he won’t watch it; if you invite him to drink, he won’t eat. When staying overnight, I hide in the residence, either reading a book, or resting early... Phew, it's really boring to the extreme."

"But this person made my uncle suffer a lot."

Cao Peng took a sip of his wine, "General Gao has such a temper. When he was under Lu Bu's command, he was not inferior to Wen Yuan in the slightest in terms of talent and ability. Especially when he was on the verge of battle, he even claimed to have never been defeated. In this regard, even Zhang Wenyuan admired him very much and often praised me.

He has no hobbies, and his greatest pleasure is to practice soldiers and horses.

Perhaps because of this, he doesn't know how to communicate with people, let alone flatter people.Therefore, at that time, Lu Bu valued him and rejected him at the same time, and his status was very embarrassing.If he hadn't gone overseas, I'm afraid he would not end well.It's a pity, his military strategy. "

"Ah Fu, is this Gao Shun really that powerful?"

"If you don't believe me, you can ask others after you return to Xudu.

That guy's a born soldier... I don't think he'd survive without a fight.If you stay in the Central Plains, you will lose your life sooner or later. "

Cao Zhen was speechless after hearing this.

Indeed, the situation overseas and in the Central Plains are very different.

Overseas wilderness, endless wars.

In the Central Plains, wars are always accompanied by various conspiracies.

Gao Shun is a straight person, I am afraid it will be difficult to survive that kind of strife.If it was changed to the early Western Han Dynasty, his fate might not be better than that of Peng Yueyingbu.

Cao Zhen sighed and did not continue talking.

The two were drinking and chatting in the room, and before they knew it, the hour of the day had arrived.

"Brother, go to rest early, tomorrow morning, we have to hurry."

Cao Zhen agreed, drank the wine in the glass, said goodbye to Cao Peng and left.He lives in the military camp outside the city... Even though the residence in the city has been prepared for him, Cao Peng can still make room for him.But Cao Zhen is also used to it, and prefers to rest in the barracks.

In his own words: "If I can't hear the sound of the fight, I might not be able to sleep."

This is also a master who is used to life in the military camp!
Cao Peng sent Cao Zhen away, and asked someone to clean up the mess in the house.

He returned to the bedroom, just about to change his clothes and go to bed.He heard someone knocking lightly on the door, "My lord, my lord?"

Cao Peng opened the door and leaned out half of his body.

However, under the long corridor outside the door, a postman saluted him respectfully, "My lord, the high envoy of the Lu family, please go and have a talk."

Gao Shun looking for me?

Cao Peng was taken aback for a moment, then nodded and said, "Just wait."

He and Shangmen adjusted their clothes in front of the bronze mirror that was one person tall.

But I was a little puzzled in my heart: it's so late, what's the matter with Gao Shun looking for me?
Could it be that he has other matters that he hopes to entrust with Sikong through me?But even so, we can talk about it tomorrow.

After thinking for a while, he didn't come up with a clue.

Outside the door, the postmen were still waiting, Cao Peng opened the door and walked down the porch.

"Lead the way ahead."

"Here!"

With a promise, the postman led Cao Peng out of the residence.

To be precise, Cao Peng's residence is part of the post house.It's just that the post office is short of manpower, so basically stay in charge of the mission.

After turning around the door, along the quiet path, we soon arrived at the residence of the Lu Shi Han Kingdom Mission.

This is a large courtyard with two entrances, inside and outside.

Outside are the servants of the mission, while Gao Shun lives in the back house.Cao Peng, led by the postman, came to the moon gate of the back house.

A Lu family accompanied him and blocked the way.

"It was the high envoy who invited Mr. Cao to come..."

The postman hurriedly explained to avoid misunderstanding.

That relative smiled, and said in official dialect with a faint Xiapi accent: "I know, I am here, and I was ordered by Gao Sima to wait for your son to come. You go back, there is nothing for you here... Mr. Cao, please follow me, Gao Sima has been waiting for a long time."

"General Gao called me, what's the matter?"

Qin Sui smiled and said, "Well, I don't know about this...

Young master, walk along the corridor, turn the corner and you will arrive. "

"Aren't you going to lead me there?"

"Hehe, the young master has been kind to us in the past, and he is not an outsider, just go, and the humble job is still here."

Cao Peng was confused, glanced at the servant, nodded, and then walked away.

What the hell is this Gao Shun doing?
