Cao Thief

Chapter 679 Cao Peng Chases Huang Zhong Under the Moon
I planned to start writing chapters from today, but there were too many things at home a few years ago, so I am really sorry.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Huang Zhong was willing to disarm and return to the fields, so he just went back in despair?
The answer is very clear, he is not willing to do so!Back then, he left his homeland and re-entered the officialdom, eager to build a career, but he never met a lord worthy of following.Cheng Yu, Zhang Zi, and later Liu Biao, Liu Pan, including Liu Hu, either took precautions against him, or abandoned him. 20 years have passed and nothing has been achieved, so how can I be willing to return to my hometown like this!

However, he has no other choice.

Huang Zhong knew that Cao Peng might be his nobleman, but he could not belong to him.

Once he surrendered to Cao Peng, his reputation of betraying the Lord and seeking glory was confirmed.For Huang Zhong, this is an absolutely unacceptable result.

But besides Cao Peng, who would appreciate him?
In Huang Zhong's heart, he felt extremely confused...

Back to Jingzhou, that's impossible!

When Kuai Zheng let him go home, he had already shouldered a huge responsibility.If he returns to Jingzhou, it will be tantamount to being caught in injustice, and it does not conform to Huang Zhong's principles of conduct.Moreover, what can I do if I go back to Jingzhou?After Huyang's disastrous defeat, even if Liu Biao didn't pursue it, Liu Pan might not be able to continue to tolerate his existence.It can be said that Huyang Liu Hu's fiasco was tantamount to making Huang Zhong unable to return to his family and repay his country.

There is no other option but to return home.

But deep down in his heart, Huang Zhong always felt that strong unwillingness...

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++
Full of depression, Huang Zhong drank a lot of wine, returned to his residence, and fell asleep in a daze.

In his dream, he dreamed that he was back in the first year of Zhongping. Facing the siege of a million yellow turban army, he led a hundred daredevils to join the rebellion army, and beheaded dozens of yellow turbans, big and small.Qin Jie, who was the prefect of Nanyang at that time, went to the city to watch the battle, and personally cheered for him.

After more than 20 years, Qin Jie has long since passed away.

Huang Zhong is also very old, and his temples are full of hair.

I really miss it...

Suddenly, Huang Zhong opened his eyes and woke up from his sleep.

Faintly, he heard a commotion and noise coming from outside the station.

Huang Zhong hurriedly turned over and sat up, put on his clothes and walked quickly to the door, listening attentively.The noise quickly disappeared without a trace.Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of footsteps.

"The old general has fallen asleep?"

"Yes."

Fu Yan's answer was very respectful, "My lord, why don't I wake up the old general?"

son?

It's Cao Peng!
The generals of the Cao army, especially the Cao army escorting Huang Zhong, have only one "son" in their mouths, and that is Cao Peng...

However, isn't Cao Peng in Biyang?
How would it appear here!

Huang Zhong's heart moved, a long-lost emotion suddenly came to his heart.

The footsteps suddenly disappeared, presumably Cao Peng stopped.After a while, Huang Zhong heard a faint sigh from outside the door, and immediately heard Cao Peng's familiar voice.He is no stranger to Cao Peng's voice.Although the two didn't have much contact, they left a deep impression on him.Just imagine, how could a guy who had done him such a miserable job not remember the sound?

"It seems that the old general still has a grudge against me.

It is also a pity that Cao Peng is not well-off, and he cannot get advice from the old general.Forget it, don't disturb General Han Sheng's rest, this time you are escorting the old general back home, you must take good care of him along the way.I came in a hurry, and I couldn't bring any presents to the old general, so the five hundred gold will be handed over to the old general on my behalf, as my apology... You hold my token, and when you arrive at Danshui, pay a visit to the Danshui order, please He took good care of the old general, and I will remember his favor.Others, nothing more!You go down and rest first. "

"Young master, don't you go to rest?"

"I'm going to sit here for a while.

Before dawn, I have to rush back to Bishui, I'm afraid I won't be able to meet the old general.

By the way, there is one more thing... I have a knife here, please donate it to General Han Sheng for me, just say... I have stained the old general's name, please forgive me. "

Cao Peng's voice was low, with a trace of regret.

Huang Zhong hurried to the window, quietly opened a gap, and looked outside.

"My lord, this is Master Cao's masterpiece, you..."

"The precious sword is given to the martyrs. This sword is only worthy of the name if it is in the hands of an old general!"

From the gap, Huang Zhong saw that Cao Peng took off a saber from his waist and handed it to Fu Yan.Master Cao's sealed furnace work?Huang Zhong couldn't help but move in his heart!
Can be called everyone, and the surname is Cao, I am afraid that only Cao Peng's father, Cao Ji, the current governor of Liangzhou, is the only one.

Cao Ji's magical soldiers are admired by the world.

After the news spread that he announced that he would close the furnace and no longer make weapons, many people regretted it.This also caused the value of Cao Ji's early works to increase sharply, at least tripled.As a general, Huang Zhong has an irresistible fondness for magical weapons.It's just that his family is not rich. He has traveled around and fought all these years, but he hasn't saved any family property. Naturally, he can't afford Cao Ji's weapons.

On the contrary, Liu Pan has a saber in his hand, which is said to be Cao Ji's mid-term work and is worth a thousand gold.

And his furnace-sealed work is estimated to be worth as much as ten thousand gold, and there is no market for it, and there is nowhere to buy it.

Huang Zhong had also heard of the name of Seven Swords and Three Swords.

He also knew that the sword in Cao Peng's hand was called the Xiji Hanguang Baodao, which was the pinnacle of the Seven Swords and Three Swords.Many people were willing to spend a lot of money to buy, but Cao Peng refused.Could it be that the saber he wants to present to himself is the legendary Xiji Hanguang?
The sensitive string in Huang Zhong's heart was plucked...

Fu Yan couldn't stop Cao Peng's decision, so he could only accompany him on the sidelines.

Under the moonlight, I saw Cao Peng standing in the courtyard for a long time, staring at the closed door, without saying a word for a long time.

After a long while, he let out a soft sigh again, then cupped his hands towards the door, bowed to the ground, turned around and was about to leave.This bow made Huang Zhong's nose sour.He could see clearly that Cao Peng was travel-laden, with a tired look on his face, obviously he had traveled a long distance.I'm afraid that after he heard the news that he was going home, he rode his horse and chased after him without saying a word...

Since Huang Zhong became an official, even Qin Jie, who valued him very much at the beginning, has not been treated so favorably!
In ancient times, Xiao Heyue chased Han Xin and was praised by the world; but now Cao Peng chased Huang Zhong for thousands of miles, but only to see him off and apologize to him, which made Huang Zhong feel extremely grateful.

Huang Zhong, oh Huang Zhong, haven't you been lamenting that you will never meet the Lord of the Ming Dynasty?

Now, Mingzhu is outside, but you want to miss the last chance of your life because of that little bit of face?
Seeing that Cao Peng was about to walk out of the Kuayuan, Huang Zhong couldn't bear it anymore.

He took three steps at a time, rushed to the door, pulled the door open, jumped out, and shouted loudly: "My lord, wait a minute."

Cao Peng couldn't help but startled, and turned around to look back.

"General Han Sheng, but I disturbed the general's dream, and I ask the old general to forgive me."

When Cao Peng was talking, he was going to greet him with his hands.

Unexpectedly, Huang Zhong came to Cao Peng in three steps and two steps at a time, knelt down with a puff, prostrated himself on the ground, and cried bitterly: "Loyalty is nothing more than an old soldier, and he is valued by the young master. Regardless of the previous mistakes, he has endured again and again... Huang Zhong is not a plant, so he doesn't know the heart of a son.

Now I am willing to serve my son with my life, and I hope that my son will not think Huang Zhong is old! "

"General Han Sheng, why is this so?"

Cao Peng was taken aback, and quickly reached out to help.

Suddenly, he shuddered Lingling, his voice was full of surprise, and suddenly raised his voice, "The old general just said, would you like to give me advice?"

"Huang Zhong, what virtue and how can he dare to speak falsely and give pointers.

But I want to be able to do the work of a dog and a horse for the son, so as to repay the love of the son. "

Cao Peng was overjoyed, took old Huang Zhong's hand, looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "I have the help of General Han Sheng, and it seems that I have a hundred thousand armored soldiers..."

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Cao Peng is really happy.

When he heard the news that Huang Zhong was leaving, he was very depressed.Almost without thinking, after explaining to Li Tong, he stepped on the liger and rushed back to Huyang from Biyang. It took him only a few hours to reach the 100-mile journey.As a result, after arriving in Huyang, he learned that Huang Zhong had left, so he chased after him non-stop... the road continued so that when Cao Peng arrived in Yiqiuju, there were only a dozen or so people around him. .Fortunately, it was a liger, otherwise it would have been exhausted.

He really respects Huang Zhong and hopes to get Huang Zhong's help.

Zhao Yun, stubborn, Cao Peng is not sure that he can win him over.

But if he can get Huang Zhongzhi's help, in Cao Peng's view, he may not be much inferior to Zhao Yun.But he also knew that he offended Huang Zhong too hard.

Just imagine, in this era of extreme importance to fame and integrity, it is a big crime for him to insult people's reputation.

Although he had some expectations in his heart, but when he arrived in Yiqiuju, he changed his mind... He was not sure that he could persuade Huang Zhong to change his mind, and the twisted melon was not sweet, even if he kept Huang Zhong What's the use?After much deliberation, Cao Peng finally decided not to meet Huang Zhong face to face.No, it was his move that made Huang Zhong very grateful, and finally changed his original mind.

At present, Cao Peng held a banquet in Yiqiu and drank with Huang Zhong.

It's just that both of them had plenty of wine, and after drinking for three rounds, they stopped drinking...

Early the next morning, Cao Peng took Huang Zhong, Fu Yan and others left Yiqiuju and went straight to Biyang.

Along the way, he was full of joy, always with a bright smile on his face.This also made Huang Zhong more at ease, and at the same time had more expectations.

Although the young man in front of him is not very old, he has an extraordinary temperament.

Perhaps, the success and fame that I have been looking forward to for 20 years will fall on this young man.At least, Huang Zhong felt unprecedented sincerity and respect from Cao Peng's attitude... and this is precisely what he has never felt in the past 20 years.

"Young master, I don't know what to do next, what's your idea?"

On the way to Biyang, Huang Zhong couldn't help asking.

Cao Peng smiled, "Tan Ma sent a report that Wen Pin has led his troops to help Zhang Ling.

This battle may not be resolved in a short period of time. I have already negotiated with Prefect Li and asked him to garrison Dafu Mountain, send troops to Xinggao, and capture Pingchun to contain Jiangxia and Liu Qi's troops.I stationed troops in Tangzi Township to block Wenpin's troops.Once Jiangxia is in a hurry, Jingzhou will be in chaos. "

When Huang Zhong heard this, he smiled proudly, "If we want to stop Wenpin, why not take Xiangxiang first?"

Cao Peng was stunned for a moment, and then said softly: "Liu Hu is currently stationed in Xiangxiang, so it may not be appropriate to attack."

Huang Zhong said with a smile: "If you take Xiangxiang, why are you afraid of Liu Hu?

Loyal but not talented, he is willing to seek Xiangxiang for the son, so that Wenpin stops in Zhangling and dare not make an inch. "

Cao Peng, you laughed!
