Cao Thief

Chapter 694 Sort out ([-])

Yiji died of rage!
Of course, there was no such thing as sudden myocardial infarction at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.But in the eyes of everyone, Yi Ji was scolded to death by Cao Peng.

Cao Peng didn't touch Yiji in the slightest, but just reprimanded him with words.

As the saying goes, if you don't do anything wrong, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door.Yiji died in a fit of rage, and the Jingxiang scholars would not blame Cao Peng, but would praise him instead.If you, Yiji, hadn't been targeted by someone, how could you be so angry?How could he be scolded to death by Cao Peng again?

This shows that Cao Peng is right!

Liu Bei is a national thief, and you, Yiji, are a villain who helps the evildoers...

In this regard, Sima Hui and Pang Shanmin were also helpless, and it was difficult to blame Cao Peng.Confucius said, repay grievances with straightness, rather than repay grievances with virtue in later generations.As for the thing of spitting on the face and doing it by oneself, it is absolutely impossible to appear in the Eastern Han Dynasty.In this era, Ren's chivalry is still strong, and his character is extremely staunch.If you punch me, I will kick you back. In the eyes of the world, the so-called repayment of hatred with virtue is not a sign of a great power, but a sign of cowardice.As a prisoner, Yiji can scold Cao Peng; as a victor, Cao Peng can naturally retaliate.

However, Sima Hui did not expect that Yi Ji would vomit blood and die after being scolded.

"Youxue, you..."

Sima Hui smiled wryly and shook his head, but he didn't blame Cao Peng.

He glanced at Yi Yang who was crying bitterly while hugging Yi Ji's body, hesitated for a moment, cupped his hands and said, "Youxue, Uncle Ji was confused for a moment, and he deserved it. But Dongsheng is innocent, but obeying his father's order is not a serious crime. Ji Bo Yu in Jingzhou has the merits of enlightenment, and I ask Youxue to look at my face and let his family go... If it is really impossible, you can exile his family, but please keep his blood."

Cao Peng did not expect such a result to happen.

He didn't have a good impression of Yi Ji, but he didn't have any bad feelings either.

The retort was also out of instinct, he really couldn't understand a character like Yiji.

Hearing that Sima Hui pleaded for mercy, Cao Peng really didn't want to refute his face.So after hesitating for a while, he beckoned Cai Zhong to come over, and whispered something in Cai Zhong's ear.A trace of reluctance appeared on Cai Zhong's face, but he still nodded and agreed.

Cai Zhong left in a hurry, while Cao Peng let out a sigh of relief.

"Sir, I have entrusted Cai Zhong to pay a visit to De Gui, and ask De Gui to raise his hand.

As for whether Degui is sympathetic, I can't say for sure.After all, I am not the lord of Xiangyang, and now the head of the nine counties of Jingxiang is the young master, Young Master Cong.All I can do is this, whether it is successful or not, I hope you don’t blame me, I have done my best..."

Cao Peng didn't need to pay attention to Sima Hui's plea, and Sima Hui wouldn't blame him.

After all, it is not an exaggeration for the crime committed by this Iraqi to ransack his family and exterminate his family.Cao Peng's pleading is a matter of affection, and not pleading is his duty, and no one can say anything.But what he said, Cao Peng immediately agreed.This also shows that I have a lot of weight in Cao Peng's heart.

This feeling of being valued and respected made Sima Hui very satisfied.

"That……"

Sima Hui was about to speak politely, but Cao Peng cupped his hands and interrupted his words.

"Mr. Uncle Ji died suddenly, Peng Yi dared to be surprised.

I just wanted to argue with my husband, but I didn't expect... my husband died suddenly, and my friend's position was in chaos.As Mr. Decao said, Mr. Ji Bo and Jingzhou have contributed to enlightenment.Merit is merit, and demerits are demerits, and merits and demerits need to be clearly distinguished.Death is like a lamp going out, forget about the past.However, Mr. Ji still needs to ask Mr. De Cao and Brother Shanmin to take care of Mr. Ji's death, and it needs to be handled in a grand manner.

Liu Jingzhou Fang passed away, and Mr. Ji Bo also left with him. It was a real disaster for Jingzhou.

Peng will invite his wife, let the past be forgotten... It's just that it's not suitable for friends to come forward, so I'll ask the two of you. "

Cao Peng's words can be regarded as giving Sima Hui and others enough face.Even those Jingzhou scholars who came out of the side hall couldn't help nodding their heads in appreciation.

Cao Peng bowed his hands with everyone, took his leave and left.

I have Sima Hui and others to guard Yiji's body and prepare for the funeral ceremony.

Looking at Cao Peng's back, Sima Hui suddenly let out a faint sigh.He turned his head to Pang Shanmin and said: "Mr. Ji passed away, I'm afraid that Mr. De must be invited to come forward. In the past, I thought Cao Peng was talented, but I didn't want to underestimate this person... What he did just now, can It can be regarded as a combination of grace and power. The world will only say that Uncle Ji doesn't know right from wrong, and doesn't know the seriousness, and will not blame Youxue for today's actions.

Jingzhou, the sky is about to change! "

Pang Shanmin nodded, showing a thoughtful expression.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++
For Cao Peng, the Yiji incident was just a small episode, not a major event.

Deep down in his heart, he cared more about Liu Bei's next move.He has already discovered that Romance of the Three Kingdoms has been unable to give him any help.The reason is very simple. According to Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei withdrew his troops from Xinye and fled to Jiangxia with the people.Today, Liu Bei is not in charge of Xinye, but stationed in Fancheng.What will he do next?Cao Peng is really unpredictable.To gather troops and horses and fight to the death in Xiangyang; or to evacuate Fancheng and go to Jiangxia?Both are possible, but the most likely is to withdraw to Jiangxia.

time!

In the final analysis, there is still not enough time.

If Cao Peng has enough soldiers and horses in his hands, he will immediately mobilize his troops to besiege Fancheng and completely wipe out Liu Bei.

However, apart from the eight hundred relatives in his hands, he could no longer mobilize a single soldier.All Jingzhou soldiers and horses are under the control of the Cai family. If the Cai family does not return for a day, then Cao Peng will not be able to really take over the Jingzhou soldiers and horses.The elite under Cao Peng's command were all gathered on the front lines of Jiyang and Nieyang.Although Wenpin returned to Xiangyang, Zhangling and Liu Hu were still desperately resisting, fighting endlessly with Cao Zhen and becoming a roadblock.

"My lord, why do you need to spare Uncle Na Yiji?
If we can't cut the weeds and get rid of the roots, there will inevitably be troubles sooner or later. "

Brothers Cai and Cai Zhong have already been bought by Jia Xu, so they are loyal.

Cai He's words really came from the heart... He could feel that because of his betrayal, Cai Mao didn't like his brother.That is to say, in the nine counties of Jingxiang, the person who can really protect his prosperity and wealth is the young but famous Nanyang prefect, Cao Peng.

Cao Peng smiled, "How capable is Yiyang?"

"A rotten Jule."

Cao Peng laughed loudly, then suddenly lowered his voice, and said in Cai He's ear: "Mao Cai rebelled, and it will not succeed in ten years.

A rotten Ruer, what am I afraid of him?If he really has the ability, he can let his horse come here.However, if I were Yiyang, I might as well keep my family business and be an honest person.With the current situation, it is not his turn to jump out and do something.If he is stupid, then I don't mind, let Yi Jibo be the last one. "

When Cai He heard this, he showed a look of admiration, and praised repeatedly: "Young master is broad-minded, has extraordinary knowledge, and he is not as good as you in many ways... Hehe, if I were Yiyang, I would be honest, and I would be able to save myself for Uncle Yiji. Bloodline. Otherwise, what can he do to you?"

To be honest, Cao Peng is surrounded by people who do things.

Whether it is Pang Tong or Du Ji these days, their virtues are very good.

Now that Cai He is coming up, although he has no skills, he can make Cao Peng feel a lot easier by flattering his horse.

Can't help but smile, Cao Peng didn't dislike Cai He, but patted him on the shoulder as a sign of encouragement, which made Cai He excited again.

Arriving at the official post, Huang Zhong has led his troops back.

When Cao Peng saw Huang Zhong, he quickly asked, "Old General, after entering the city, is everything okay?"

Huang Zhong is a surrendered general who was once a general of Jingzhou Zhonglang.He surrendered to Cao Peng, maybe he would be pointed at by others.The old general is getting old, and it is hard to guarantee that he will be angry.In case something good or bad happens, it will be too late for Cao Peng to regret it.

Huang Zhong hurriedly said: "My lord, don't worry, this old man is not that three-year-old kid. Whatever other people want to say, let them say."

"Well, he forced him to be strong, and the breeze blows the hills.

With Han Sheng's attitude, I feel much more at ease...By the way, is there any news from Wancheng?On the side of the prime minister, can you return to Xudu? "

"Master, Jia Yuzhou ordered Zizhang to deliver the letter, and he is waiting in the side room."

"Bring him to me quickly."

Cao Peng went straight to the hall without saying a word.

Cai He was a little overwhelmed, but he was overjoyed when he saw Cao Peng suddenly stopped and waved to him after walking a few steps.

He quickly followed Cao Peng and sat down in the hall.

After a while, Lu Mao hurried in and bowed to Cao Peng.

"Zizhang, what is Jia Taizhong's explanation?"

"Returning to your son, Jia Taizhong received a message that Jiangdong and Chungu assembled troops, and there seemed to be a change.

Prefect Wen Ze wanted to withdraw his troops and return to Yiyang County, but was stopped by Jia Taizhong.Moreover, Jia Taizhong has taken over the soldiers and horses of Yiyang and Yiyang counties in Runan, and directly commanded... Taizhong said that Sun Quan has capable ministers to assist him, so he might not sit back and watch the changes in Jingzhou.Therefore, the young master has to make a plan as soon as possible to take over Jingzhou soldiers and horses as soon as possible, otherwise there will be changes... Jia Taizhong has ordered Ming to lead his troops to station in Anzhong.

Du Ji also led his troops to join Lingming.

General Wen Chang led the army to Nieyang in a few days...

In addition, the Prime Minister returned to Xudu yesterday and sent General Wei to send troops to Nanyang.

In half a month at the latest, the prime minister will send troops to Jingxiang.Please make preparations as soon as possible, you must completely calm down Liu Bei..."

When Cao Peng heard this, he gasped.

Jia Wenhe, you fucking think highly of me!

I only have [-] soldiers in my hand, how can I put down Liu Bei?

Besides, take over Jingxiang's soldiers and horses?It's not that I said that if you can take over, you can take over. In this matter, the initiative is still in Cai's hands.

Thinking of this, Cao Peng couldn't help but smiled wryly, and patted his forehead.

"So, I understand...Zizhang, you can stay by my side for the time being. As for repaying Jia Wenhe, I will send someone else to go."

"Here!"

Lu Mao was overjoyed upon hearing this.

Being able to stay with Cao Peng shows that Cao Peng has recognized his ability.

At this time, Huang Zhong suddenly asked: "Young master, Kou Congzhi has asked you for news many times, and seems to want to meet you... I asked Meng Yang to comfort him, I don't know if you want to see him for a while See? This Kou Congzhi seems to really want to submit to the young master."

Kou Congzhi?
Cao Peng reacted immediately.

What Huang Zhong said was Liu Feng... no, it was Kou Feng.

After pondering for a while, Cao Peng nodded, "In that case, I invite Mr. Kou to meet you in the garden, and Zizhang will prepare a banquet."
