Cao Thief

Chapter 622 The Good Fate of Nanyang (12)

Cao Peng came out of the room with a letter and a sword.

In the courtyard, Zhao Yun and Pang De were still facing each other with swords drawn, showing a faint killing intent.Zhao Yun is not a person who is good at words, and at the same time he doesn't like to gossip behind people's backs.It's just that I couldn't hold back for a while, and only then did I have those words.However, what he meant was not that Cao Peng was the 'King Zhou', but Cao Cao.From Zhao Yun's standpoint, Cao Cao coerced the emperor to order the princes, abolished the laws of the ancestors, and replaced the prime minister. He was a traitor of the Han Dynasty.All those who work for Cao Cao are all helping the tyrant.

Therefore, Zhao Yun can only be a general, but not a lobbyist.

Pound doesn't care who you're talking about!

He is Cao Peng's family general. When Zhao Yun said that he was helping the emperor, he was naturally referring to Cao Peng.Speaking of which, Cao Peng treated Pang De well and regarded him as a confidant.From Lushuiwan's capture to Pound's attachment, Cao Peng treated Pound very kindly.And Pound?Another straight man.People respect me one foot, and I respect others one foot, not to mention Cao Peng's kindness to him.

Therefore, Zhao Yun can say anyone, but he cannot say Cao Peng.

He is not bad at eloquence, and he pushed Zhao Yun back with a single sentence.

On the one hand, Zhao Yun felt ashamed, on the other hand, he was dissatisfied with Pound's blunt attitude, so the two became hostile.

"Zilong, this is the letter that Ziyou asked me to bring to you.

This sword, named Jinghong, was created by my father this year.It was originally given to Ziyou, but Ziyou sent this sword here and asked me to pass it on to you.There is a saying that the sword is given to the martyrs, presumably Ziyou thought that Zilong Fang was worthy of this stunning sword, please bring it back to Zilong. "

Zhao Yun was shocked when he heard this.

Who is Cao Peng's father?
That is the famous Yinmo Juzi, the current master of casting soldiers.

In the past few years, Cao Ji has seldom forged knives and swords. On the one hand, it is because of his status, and on the other hand, it is also because he has no time.

As the governor of Liangzhou, he may not be full of affairs, but he is also busy.

Even if there are many assistants around him, whether it is Xu Shu or Kan Ze, who can share most of Cao Ji's energy, they are still too busy.Therefore, Cao Ji almost closed the furnace, and rarely forged swords and knives.If Cao Peng hadn't created the method of covering soil and burning blades at the end of the tenth year of Jian'an, which had attracted Cao Ji's attention, it would have been absolutely impossible for him to start the furnace to forge swords again.Cao Ji spent half a year in Jian'an for 11 years, using the method of covering the soil and burning the blade, combined with the previous memory of casting swords and knives, and created a total of seven swords and three swords, which are coveted by countless people.

However, no one dared to ask Cao Ji for it.

These ten swords already had owners as soon as they came out of the oven.

Among them, the Kaitian sword was ordered by Cao Cao, and the two swords of the town ruler, one was obtained by Guo Jia, and the other was taken by Xun Yu.Xia Houyuan got a Long Yuan, and Cao Ren got a Chasing Wind.The reason why Xia Houlan was able to get Jinghong was because Cao Peng interceded and let him stay specially.

There was a mouthful of Jinfeng left, which was bought by Wang.

Because Wang Meng's name is Qianjin, this golden sword was cast by Cao Ji to commemorate Wang Meng, so naturally he wanted to buy it for Wang Meng.

The three swords are named Liangzhou Longque, Hexi Qinggang and Xiji Hanguang.

Among them, Liangzhou Longque was held by Cao Ji, Hexi Qinggang gave it to Deng Fan, and Xiji Hanguang was Cao Peng's saber.The ten swords really caused a shock when they came out of the oven.The reason... is very simple, Cao Ji decided to close the furnace and never make weapons.

In other words, these ten swords are the work of Cao Ji sealing the furnace, and also represent the pinnacle of Cao Ji's military casting skills.

In the future, there will be no market for the Godly Weapons of Conjuration on the market.In addition to some stocks in the Shenbing Pavilion of the Cao family, it is difficult to find Cao Ji's works on the market.

Cao Peng also expressed regret at that time.

However, Cao Ji told him that he had found a descendant of his late senior brother, and that descendant would inherit the skills...

Cao Peng did remember that Cao Ji did have a senior brother named Pu in his early years.But then lost contact, did not think there are descendants alive in the world.

When Zhao Yun heard that the sword in front of him was made by Cao Ji, he was also startled.

When Cao Peng handed the letter and the sword to Zhao Yun, he was at a loss.

"Okay, what Ziyou asked me to do, I finally finished.

If Zilong has a reply, he can send someone to my house, and I will find someone to pass it on to Ziyou.It's getting late, if Zilong is fine, then forgive me for not staying. "

Zhao Yun was stunned again.

Originally thought that when Cao Peng gave him the letter and Jinghong Sword, he would say a few words to persuade him to stay.

Of course, Zhao Yun would definitely reject Cao Peng without hesitation.

But he saw off the guests without saying a word, which made Zhao Yun a little at a loss... After hesitating for a while, Zhao Yun cupped his hands, "Youn Yun is taking the liberty of disturbing the young master today, please forgive me. However, today the young master gave me the sword, On the battlefield in the future, Yun will definitely not show mercy."

When Cao Peng heard this, he smiled slightly.

"Then let's see the outcome on the battlefield."

After speaking, he waved his hand and turned back to the bedroom.

As the door closed, Zhao Yun couldn't help feeling an inexplicable feeling in his heart.

"Hey, come with me... Don't jump over the wall again and say that my son doesn't know how to treat guests."

When Pound spoke, it was really impolite.

Zhao Yun blushed, and gave Pound a hard look, "Then please lead the way."

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
In the courtyard, it has become quiet.

Cao Peng put down the scroll in his hand, stood up and stretched, and blew out the lamp on the desk.He walked out of the bedroom, stood on the porch, held on to the pillar, and looked up at the bright moon hanging in the night sky.His eyes narrowed unconsciously, and his fingers lightly tapped on the pillars.

Just now, it wasn't that he didn't want to win over Zhao Yun.

You know, Cao Peng was a loyal 'cloud' in his previous life.

Among the Three Kingdoms, if he had to say who he liked the most, it would probably be Zhao Yun.

In particular, there are seven entrances and seven exits on the slope of Changban, which have been sung in various versions in later generations, and are known to women and children alike.

As early as when he heard that Xia Houlan and Zhao Yun were young, Cao Peng had thought about wooing Zhao Yun.But it wasn't until later that he realized that if he wanted to recruit talents in this era, he couldn't achieve his goal with just a few words.It took a lot of effort to be Xia Houlan back then.Not to mention Gan Ning, the reason why he defected to Cao Peng also had a special reason.

In order to attract Pound, Cao Peng can be said to have paid a lot of effort.

Now it is far more difficult to recruit Zhao Yun than Gan Ning and Pound...

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, if you want to recruit talents, you have to pay a lot of attention.Cao Cao started his career relying on the support of his clan and the Xiahou family.But he was able to recruit talents only after he defeated Dong Zhuo and pursued him alone.At that time, the princes captured Luoyang, and only Cao Cao and Sun Jian pursued them bravely.Cao Cao's entire army was wiped out, but he gained a great reputation, and then Xun Yu and others joined him.

Yuan Shao, let's not talk about it.

After offending Dong Zhuo, he abandoned his official position and ran away to a remote place like Bohai County.

But relying on his background, he has acquired a large number of talents.It was even easy to capture Jizhou later, and many people were willing to follow.

This is the power of birth!

Without fame and background, it depends on chance.

The best example is the three of Liu Guanzhang.

Liu Bei was just a guy who weaved mats and sold shoes at that time, but he was able to share the same interests as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.Among them is Liu Bei's personal charm factor, but also due to chance.If there hadn't been the Yellow Turban Rebellion, if Cheng Zhiyuan hadn't led his troops to Zhuo County, I'm afraid Liu Guanzhang and the three of them would be strangers even if they met.

Cao Peng, famous, also got a family background.

But to recruit Zhao Yun, he missed the best opportunity...

If forced to solicit, it will be counterproductive.This kind of thing really needs a chance... Cao Peng is also very helpless about this.

Standing on the porch, he shook his head slightly.

If Zhao Yun had been forcibly left just now, it would probably be just a corpse.

It is too difficult to recruit.

Zhao Yun's loyalty to Liu Bei is hard to shake.He is also a master who admits to death and likes to dig into the horns, which makes it more difficult.

Otherwise, based on Zhao Yun's affection for Liu Bei, when Liu Bei occupies Xuzhou, he can stay with Liu Bei.

But Zhao Yun still chose to leave Liu Bei and return to Gongsun Zan.It's not that he has much affection for Gongsun Zan, but that he doesn't want to bear the reputation of being a betrayer.

Thinking of this, Cao Peng patted his forehead lightly.

This is really a trouble...

Kill Zhao Yun?
Cao Peng was really reluctant.

But if Zhao Yun cannot be recruited, it will be a threat after all.

It's not possible, only...

Thinking of this, Cao Peng subconsciously clenched his fists.

Behind him, footsteps sounded.

Cao Peng didn't look back.

"Young master, the man has been sent away."

Pang De came to Cao Peng's side and said in a low voice: "My son, he seems to attach great importance to this man. Why didn't you just keep him?"

"Ling Ming, how is this person's skills?"

"Although there is no confrontation, he should be stronger than me.

However, if he joined forces with the young master, he would definitely be able to take him down within fifty rounds; if he had the help of a dark warrior, he wouldn't be able to last twenty rounds. "

Pang De looked at Zhao Yun a bit disliked, but in his words, he still told the truth without any adulteration.

Cao Peng laughed, and said softly: "If it stays, it's just a corpse... It's a pity that such a hero died like this.

Besides, Ziyou is on good terms with him, if I kill him, wouldn't it make Ziyou sad?

Today, let's form a good relationship. If there is a relationship, you can get what you want.But Mingming, you have to be careful, if you confront this person on the battlefield, you must not be able to fight against him.This person is Tong Yuan's direct disciple of Spear Jue. He has outstanding marksmanship and is bold and careful, so he needs to be cautious. "

Pang De followed Cao Peng for more than three years.

This was the first time he had seen Cao Peng tell him to be careful of a certain person in such a solemn tone.

There was a dignified look on his face, he cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, my lord, if we meet this person on the battlefield, De will be more careful."

"So, very good!"

Cao Peng smiled slightly, and looked westward with deep eyes.

Liu Xuande, I can finally confront you head-on... I just don't know if you can still maintain your good luck this time?
