Cao Thief

Chapter 629
Self-confident?

Just by looking at this comment, one can guess who Cao Peng is referring to.

Kuai Zheng couldn't help laughing!
Li Yan, what Cao Peng said was obviously Li Yan.

Speaking of which, Kuai Zheng was much more familiar with Li Yan than Cao Peng.Most of Cao Peng's understanding of Li Yan stems from the memory of his previous life.In addition, he didn't feel very good about Li Yan, so instinctively, he had a slight rejection of Li Yan.

After learning that Li Yan was in Wuyin, he caught up with Li Yan to put on airs again, which made Cao Peng even more displeased with him.

On the other hand, Kuai Zheng is not the same.Li Yan started to work when he was 16 years old. He was a county magistrate at first.It took a full 15 years to climb up step by step from a very ordinary subordinate to become the current master.All of Li Yan's superiors view Li Yan as: capable of doing things.If you leave something to Li Yan to do, you don't need to spend any more time thinking about it.

Kuaizheng was once the order of Jiyang, and he was born in a rich family, so he had close contacts with various counties.

Therefore, Kuai Zheng was not particularly unfamiliar with Li Yan.

After he came to Wuyin, he also heard about Li Yan's arrogance, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

From his point of view, it's not a big deal if you have some skills, but you can handle airs.Kuaizheng is a person with mediocre qualifications. He can't be called good, but he can't be called bad either. He does things in a stable manner.So in his opinion, it's okay for Li Yan to put on airs.The key point is that the object he is holding on to is not correct!Who is Cao Peng?The majestic prefect of Nanyang County, Cao Sanpian is very famous among scholars.

A person of this status is not something you, Li Yan, a small master can handle.

Kuai Zheng felt that Li Yan had found the wrong partner.

If it were another person, maybe this kind of self-respect would turn into a calm and far-reaching behavior.As everyone knows, Cao Peng's dislike for Li Yan comes from the heart.

"Zheng Fang is indeed talented, but sometimes he is a little too proud.

But if I have his help, I have some confidence... Well, how about it, I will talk to Zhengfang and hear what he thinks. "

When Cao Peng saw that Kuai Zheng agreed, he immediately felt relieved.

In the past period of time, although he disliked Li Yan, he didn't even want to get in touch with Li Yan.But the research on Li Yan has never been interrupted.On the one hand, he suppressed Li Yan's arrogance, and on the other hand, he paid attention to Li Yan's movements.According to Lu Chang's introduction and Jia Xu's comments on Li Yan, Cao Peng generally has a clear outline of Li Yan...

Li Yan is very talented.

But his origin is not very good.

When Li Yan was young, his family was very poor, which can be described as penniless.

It was precisely such an environment that created Li Yan's extreme low self-esteem and at the same time extremely conceited.He is ambitious and likes to be smart.There is a kind of envy and respect from the heart for people of noble birth.But at the same time, it will not deal with the surrounding relationship.He is very talented, but because of his conceit and pride, people around him are hostile to him, and even slander him.

Because of this, it took him a full 15 years to achieve the position of master bookkeeper.

Li Yan in history was recommended by Fei Guan, a famous scholar in Jiangxia, after defecting to Bashu, and then became the commander of Chengdu, and then stationed in Mianzhu to resist Liu Bei.That Feiguan got its name because it is good at meeting people and knows how to win people's hearts.Fei Guan is the uncle of Fei Yi, a famous minister of the Shu Han Dynasty.On this point, Kuai Zheng's temperament and characteristics are exactly similar to Na Feiguan.Although Cao Peng didn't know how Li Yan rose up in history, according to his observation, Kuai Zheng should have enough ability to restrain and use Li Yan.At the same time, Huyang is the southern barrier of Cao Peng. If it is governing the world, a single Kuai Zheng is enough to make the place peaceful.But now, it is turbulent.Although Kuai Zheng is good at internal affairs, he is still far from being able to be alone in commanding troops to defend against the enemy.Li Yan happened to be able to serve as Kuai Zheng's helper, stationed in Huyang.With this person in Huyang, at least Huyang can be kept from breaking through in a short time.

Of course, relying on Li Yan alone is not enough either.

Therefore, after discussing with Kuai Zheng, Cao Peng appointed Du Ji as Cao Shi of the Nanyang Army, and recruited troops in Nine Girls City...

Back then, Liu Biao set up the Nine Girls City camp to prevent Cao Cao from raiding Jingzhou.

No one expected that ten years later, Cao Peng would re-open the Nine Girls City Camp, in order to resist Liu Biao's surprise attack.The reason is that Feng Shui turns, maybe it is true.After Du Ji learned of Cao Peng's appointment, he was also extremely pleasantly surprised and happily took the order to leave.

After arranging the chief officials of Huyang and Jiyang, Cao Peng once again felt that there was a serious shortage of manpower.

As the prefect of a county, Cao Peng needs a lot of people.In addition to the three positions of county lieutenant, county magistrate, and county master book, a series of manpower such as eleven Cao Shi, five official officials, five postal supervisors, Cao Cao, and chief secretary office history are required.There are so many things, nearly 20 people are needed.So far, only a few people have been arranged by the Eleventh Cao Shi.Among them, Du Ji was the military Cao Shi, Pu Yangyi was the household Cao Shi, and Lu Mao was the Fa Cao Shi... Lu Yu was assigned the position of chief secretary of the office history, and also assumed the post of meritorious Cao Shi.

But the rest of the Caos are still vacant.

Cao Peng felt very headache, but for a while, he couldn't find a suitable candidate.

In desperation, he had no choice but to temporarily withdraw Jiang Jiong from the white camel soldiers and let him take up the post of Lieutenant Cao Shi, temporarily responsible for the security situation.Then, let his former partner Chen Shi take the position of thief Cao Shi.For the rest of the Caos, Lu Yu and others will be concurrently in charge for the time being, finally making Nanyang County run smoothly... However, Cao Peng knows that this is not a long-term solution!
On the 12th of the first month of the 26th year of Jian'an, Zhang Liao captured Fan Yang in ten days.

Fan Yang's guard, Zhao Du, died in battle at the head of the city, and his deputy, Huo Nu, set fire to the county, killing himself and becoming a benevolent...

At the same time, war broke out in Sanhan, which was far overseas.Lu's Han Dynasty has Pang Ming as the commander, Zhou Qi as the military adviser, and invaded the Silla Kingdom.The Lord of Silla was defeated by Lu Han's soldiers, so he urgently asked for help from the Goguryeo Throne Palace.The King of Goguryeo immediately sent people to return to Seoul to warn the members of the Lu clan not to make further progress and withdraw from Silla immediately, otherwise Goguryeo would send troops to crusade.

At this time, the palace actually didn't want to pay attention to Silla.

His attention was mainly focused on the four counties in Liaodong, and Xinxinran was dispatching troops to Youzhou to help in the battle.

The reigning palace thought that after he sent someone to warn the Lu family, the Lu family would not dare to act rashly.Unexpectedly, Lu Lan ignored his warning at all, and directly ordered someone to cut off the messenger's nose, and drove him back to the inner city.Wei Gong was furious and sent troops to attack Lu's Han Kingdom.However, under the command of Gao Shun, Lu's Han Dynasty defeated Goguryeo soldiers and horses, which surprised the palace.

Until this time, Wei Gong was truly facing Lu Han Kingdom squarely.

He didn't dare to send troops to Liaodong anymore, but mobilized troops to gather for Lu's Han Kingdom... At this time, Zhou Cang's navy successfully built ten large-scale ships, sailed out from Dongling Island, and carried With a large number of military supplies, food and grass, they were sent to Lu's Han Dynasty.

The route between Lu's Han Kingdom and the Central Plains officially opened on this day!
In mid-February of the 12th year of Jian'an, Cao Junbing approached the city of Zhuojun.

Seeing that Cao's army was too powerful to resist, Yuan Xi had to abandon the city and flee to Yuyang.

At the same time, Xian Yufu, the prefect of Dai County, saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly led his troops to surrender.Zhang Yan occupied Dai County almost without shedding blood... Immediately, Shanggu County fell.

For Yuan Xi, the whole March was undoubtedly a disaster.

In less than a month, the Youzhou front that he had painstakingly planned was completely broken.The three counties of Youzhou fell one after another and were captured by Cao Cao.And Yongnuling Guancheng, whom he had placed high hopes on, immediately opened the city to surrender after receiving his fellow villager Huang Zhen.Cao Zhang took advantage of the situation and occupied Yongnu, approaching Yuyang County.Seeing that the situation was not good, Yuan Xi dared not fight.Before Cao Zhang's troops arrived, he led his troops to abandon the city and fled all the way. It was not until they crossed the wet water that they were in Feiru and barely stabilized their position.Tadun, the leader of Karasuma in western Liaoning, had always been friends with the Yuan family.Ta Dun originally planned to send troops to help, but he didn't want Yuan Xi to retreat to Feiru before he sent troops.

Tadun is quite interesting, apart from anything else, we sent soldiers and horses to take Yuan Xi to Karasuma's lair in western Liaoning and settle in Liucheng.

When Yuan Xi was evacuating Feiru, he ordered Qianzhao and Jiang Yiqu to defend Feiru, and then sent people to Liaodong to ask Gongsun Kang for help.

By April, the fighting between the two sides came to an end.

Cao Cao stationed his troops without end and took a short rest.

On the surface, the two sides appear to be on strike.But in fact, everyone knew that if Cao Cao didn't eliminate Yuan Xi this time, he would never let it go.What's more, Liaoxi Karasuma has a deep hatred with Cao Cao.Back then, it was Karasuma from western Liaoning who raided Zhongqiu and killed Cao Pi.As far as Yu Gong is concerned, Karasuma in western Liaoning harassed the border and plundered the population, which was a confidant of the Central Plains.Karasuma is immortal, Cao Cao can't feel at ease.Therefore, after a short rest, Cao Cao ordered again to forcefully cross the Rushui, and the soldiers were as fat as they were, and invaded western Liaoning.

However, Cao Cao did not expect that at this moment, the rainy season in western Liaoning would quietly arrive...

The continuous rain, since the beginning of April, has not stopped.

Occasionally there will be two days of sunny days, but in the blink of an eye, it will become rainy again.The road became muddy and difficult due to the continuous rain.In many places, the stagnant water is very heavy.Horses and chariots are not allowed in shallow places, and it is difficult to carry boats in deep places.As a result, Cao Cao had to postpone the schedule of attacking Liaoxi.

He knew that every day of delay would cost countless money and food, and would bring many variables...

Standing at the gate of the Chinese army's large tent outside the endless city, Cao Cao's mood was as cloudy as the endless weather.The drizzling rain made it extremely uncomfortable.A gust of cold wind blew by, making Cao Cao shiver involuntarily.This damn Youzhou is indeed a place of bitter cold.In the Central Plains, April is the season of scorching sun and unbearable heat.But this endless weather is still extremely cold.

Many Cao soldiers felt uncomfortable because of the unacceptable water and soil.

Fortunately, Cao Cao made a lot of preparations for this conquest of Youzhou.

Not only did they bring a large number of doctors accompanying the army, but they also dispatched Shi Dongxiao, the Chief Physician from Taichang, to come together.It is also for this reason that although many people fall ill, it is not too much trouble.But even so, Cao Cao still felt an inexplicable pressure.

At this moment, a person came from a distance.

Holding an oil-paper umbrella in his hand, Guo Jia ran excitedly to the entrance of the Chinese military tent, and said from a distance, "Prime Minister, great joy, great joy..."
