Cao Thief

Chapter 613 What is the old enemy in the past life like in this life? (twenty two)

For many people, the name Zhang Changpu is indeed unfamiliar.

Even Cao Peng learned of the existence of such a person only after seeing a post on the Internet called "Those Things Inside the Walls of the Zhong Family" by chance in his previous life.Zhang Changpu did not have much achievements in his life, but he has a wonderful son.And her son, that is, the first year of Xianxi, a famous general of Cao Wei at the end of the Three Kingdoms period, Zhong Yao's second son, Zhong Hui.

The reason why Cao Peng remembered this name was largely because of Deng Ai.

Deng Ai died in the joint conspiracy of Zhong Hui, Wei Guan, Shi Zuan, Hu Lie and others in the first year of Xianxi, that is, after conquering Shu Kingdom in [-] AD.But the instigator is Zhong Hui.At first, Zhong Hui framed Deng Ai for rebellion, and Emperor Wu of Jin Dynasty Sima Yan ordered Zhong Hui to escort Deng Ai back to the imperial capital.As for Zhong Hui, he did not kill Deng Ai. After ordering Deng Ai and his son to be sent away, he launched a rebellion in Chengdu.

However, those who harm others will always harm them.

Zhong Hui's rebellion was unsuccessful and was suppressed in time, and Zhong Hui himself was killed on the spot.

Originally, Deng Ai's trilogy had already rescued Deng Ai.But he didn't want to frame Deng Ai's other mastermind, Wei Guan. He was afraid of Deng Ai's revenge and wanted to enjoy the credit of Zhu Zhonghui, so he asked Tian Xu to kill Deng Ai and his son west of Mianzhu. All the other sons were killed, and Deng Ai's wife and grandson were also exiled to the Western Regions.It was not until the ninth year of Taishi that he returned to the Central Plains.

Wei Guan, now the lieutenant of Sili, is the coveted son of Zhongwei.

And Tian Xu is Tian Chou's grandson.

Now that Deng Ai has become Cao Peng's nephew, it is naturally impossible to tolerate Deng Ai being framed again.

Historically, Deng Ai was an orphan.

It was he who stepped forward step by step to become the hero who destroyed Shu in the end, relying on his own ability.But after all, there is no background behind him. Although he is favored by Sima Yi, because of his upright and irritable temperament, he does not form cliques for personal gain.So much so that when he was in his 70s, he was framed by Zhong Hui and others, and no one in the court stood up to speak for him.Until the fourth year after Deng Ai's death, Duan Zhuo, who was Yilang at that time, wrote a letter to appeal for Deng Ai's injustice.It was not until six years later that his grievances were vindicated, and his grandson returned to the Central Plains.

Is it true that Sima couldn't see Deng Ai's grievances?
Cao Peng didn't think so.

Let's take a look at the origins of these people who framed Deng Ai.

Zhong Hui is a child of the Zhong family in Yingchuan, and Wei Guan is a child of the Hedong Wei family.There is also Hu Lie, the son of Hu Zun, the governor of Jinzhou in history.But Hu Zun has left with Ma Chao now.As for the remaining Shi Zhuan who killed Deng Ai, although he was a poor scholar, he was very close to Wei Guan and others.By the way, there was another Jiang Wei who was causing trouble. At that time in Yizhou, he also had unparalleled energy and fame.

So many people teamed up to frame Deng Ai, including children from aristocratic families, poor families, and even surrendered officials...

Even if Sima Yan understood Deng Ai's grievances, he could only be ruthless and deal with Deng Ai.However, he didn't necessarily want to kill Deng Ai, so he made the move to escort Deng Ai back to Luoyang.But once Deng Ai died, even Sima Yan had no choice but to punish Deng's family for capital punishment.For the next ten years, Sima Yan also thought about clearing up Deng Ai's grievances, but under the pressure of the family, he had to give up.

It took ten years for Deng Ai's grandson to return to the Central Plains, but he was unable to avenge his hatred.

Perhaps it is for this reason that Cao Peng can still remember Zhang Changpu's identity many years after his rebirth.Zhong Hui's old lady...that's Zhong Hui's old lady!Zhang Changpu gave birth to Zhonghui 19 years later.But now, she is a penniless little maidservant.

Fate, sometimes really makes people feel unpredictable.

In the original time and space, Zhong Hui killed Deng Ai; but in this time and space, Zhong Hui might never appear again, and his mother became Deng Ai's maidservant.Cao Peng felt more and more the great changes he brought to this era...

So a well-known person, let him, a little butterfly, flick his wings, and be slapped away?

"Husband, what are you laughing at?"

Neither Huang Yueying nor Xia Houzhen could understand Cao Peng's hearty laughter.

Cao Peng managed to stop his laughter. Hearing Xia Houzhen's question, he couldn't help laughing again...

"Let this calamus serve Xiao Ai.

Haha... This little girl is about the same age as Xiao Ai, but she is just right. "

Boy, I gave you a chance to take revenge. Qian Zhong's meeting his mother is also a retribution for your original grievances.

Zhong Hui is dead, but Wei Guan, Shi Zuan and Hu Lie are still there.

Wei Ji has not yet given birth to Wei Guan, and with the relationship between Cao Peng and Wei Ji, it may be difficult for Wei Guan to endanger Deng Ai's life again.As for Shi Zhuan and Hu Lie?His whereabouts are still unknown.If there is a chance, these two people must be eliminated to avoid future difficulties for Deng Ai.

Thinking of this, Cao Peng was still smiling all over his face, but his heart was full of killing intent.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++
When he set off again, Zhang Changpu had become Deng Ai's accompanying maid.

Cao Peng once observed secretly, but found that Deng Ai couldn't help but blush every time he saw Zhang Changpu.Cao Peng had to sigh with emotion that the teenagers in the Eastern Han Dynasty really matured precociously.Deng Ai is only ten years old, and Zhang Changpu is eleven...not to mention, they can still get together.

It's just that Cao Peng knows that given Deng Ai's current situation, it is unlikely that he will marry Zhang Changpu.

At most, it is a concubine's room.

His father is the prefect of Dongjun, and his wife has also been ordered.And his grandfather is the governor of Liangzhou, and his uncle is also the prefect of Nanyang, a celebrity today.Today's Deng Ai is completely different from Deng Ai who was born in history.Although he is not considered rich and powerful, but according to the calculation of the nine-rank Zhongzheng system, he is at least from a second-rank background.Absolutely extraordinary in this day and age.

Oh, what are you thinking?

Cao Peng patted his forehead lightly on the horse, turned around and looked into the distance.

He's only ten years old, even if this guy gets married at 14, there are still four years left... Besides, he's not in a hurry, why should I?
In this way, Cao Peng left the matter of Zhang Changpu behind.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++
Seeing the end of the year is approaching day by day.

At this time in previous years, it was the day when the family reunited and were busy with the New Year's goods.

This year's New Year, Cao Ji will return to Xudu to report on his work.According to the original plan, Cao Peng planned to have a good reunion with his father, but unexpectedly, he was sent to Nanyang County.This will be another incomplete New Year, which makes Cao Peng even more inexplicably disappointed.

This official position is getting bigger and bigger.

But this one seems to be getting more and more scattered.

Deng Ji was in Dongjun, and Guo Jia said that after the battle of Youzhou was over, Cao Cao seemed to intend to appoint Deng Ji to be the prefect of Hanoi.From Dongjun to Hanoi, the grades of counties and counties are raised by one class.The area under the rule has also increased a little.But the problem is not here!Hanoi not only has [-] counties under its rule, but also bears the important place connecting Henan and Chang'an.There are many Hanoi families under his rule, among which Sima of Wen County is the head.At that time, once Deng Ji takes up the post of Hanoi County, the pressure he will face will inevitably increase and his official duties will be even busier.

In Liangzhou, mulberry-based fish ponds and fruit-based fish ponds will be fully implemented in the coming year.

At the same time, the commercial routes in the Western Regions will be completely opened up, and the pressure on Cao Ji will also increase.

Mother, Buluan and the others will only be in Xingyang at that time.I don't know how long it will take me to return to Nanyang?

Thinking of these, Cao Peng couldn't help but feel a little melancholy.

Before they knew it, the chariots and horses had arrived in Wufang County.Go west along the Huangshui River, pass Zhongyang Mountain, and enter Nanyang County.

Cao Peng was a little nervous, watching the chariots and horses slowly marching along the mountain road, he was suddenly in a trance.What will happen in Nanyang County?
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Nanyang, Wan County.

Xun Chen rushed into the government office of Wan County in a hurry, and saw Liu Bei drinking in the lobby.

"Youruo, why are you so flustered?"

"I just got the news that Cao Cao has appointed his nephew, Cao Peng, as the prefect of Nanyang County. The chariots and horses have been leaving for a long time, and they must be entering Nanyang soon. If my lord doesn't plan ahead, I'm afraid there will be trouble."

Before Liu Bei could speak, among the people in the hall, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu suddenly showed anger.

"The little Cao family thief is coming to Nanyang?"

Zhang Fei gritted his teeth, his face showing a ferocious twist.

Xun Chen was taken aback, and asked suspiciously, "Yide, why is this so?"

"Wow..."

Zhang Fei roared furiously, but did not say the reason.

He really couldn't say it.Could it be that he was robbed of his horse by Cao Peng?In the fourth year of Jian'an, Cao Peng returned to Xudu from Xuzhou, passed by the post station, and had a conflict with Zhang Fei.No matter what method Cao Peng used, the result was that he snatched Zhang Fei's beloved horse and gave it to Gan Ning as a gift.That is, in that year, Liu Bei and Cao Cao completely turned against each other and had to flee to Runan.

Guan Yu and Cao Peng didn't get along much, but he had a bad impression of Cao Peng.

His son Guan Ping was once beaten to the ground by Cao Peng.As an old man, he had long wanted to seek justice for Guan Ping, so he weighed in with Cao Peng a few times.

In addition, Sun Qian, Liu Bei's top diplomat, was captured by Cao Peng.

Now in Xudu, life and death are unknown.

If you think about it further, Cao Peng once cut off Liu Bei's wealth in Haixi, and even cut off the gate of Liu Bei's camp outside Xiapi City with a single knife.Not to mention, Liu Bei's brother, Chen Dao, died at the hands of Cao Peng in the fourth year of Jian'an.

This sum of old debts is really a lot to say.

In an instant, the crowd in the lobby was furious, and everyone was furious.

It's just that Xun Chen didn't know about these things, and Zhuge Liang had never heard of them.So the two of them were quite surprised when they saw the anger on the faces of Guan Yu and the others.

Behind Liu Bei, there is still one person standing.

This person is eight feet tall and has a dignified appearance.

Dressed in a white plain shirt, it looked particularly eye-catching in the lobby.

Hearing Cao Peng's name, he was startled at first, and then showed a look of memory.

I vaguely remember that many years ago... Well, it was indeed many years!Xiaolan once wrote to me, asking me to join a boy named Cao Peng.At that time, I did not agree, because I had an agreement with the lord long ago.I also wrote a letter, inviting Xiaolan to work for the lord together, but Xiaolan refused.In a flash, it has been eight years!Could it be that the Cao Peng that Xiaolan mentioned was the Nanyang prefect?

But I, Zhao Zilong, have to weigh it carefully, what kind of ability does this Nanyang prefect have, so that Xiaolan can be so respected...
