Cao Thief

Chapter 713 Yan Huanghui

Cao Peng almost laughed out loud!
He forcibly suppressed the urge to burst into laughter in his heart, but the corners of his mouth still couldn't help but curl up, and a weird smile flashed in his eyes.

Who is the most unlucky person in the Three Kingdoms?
Jiang Ziyi bears the brunt!
At the Qunyinghui, Jiang Gan stole the book, causing Cao Cao to kill Cai Mao and Zhang Yun; crossing the river for the second time, he met Pang Tong, and as a result, a series of tricks wiped out Cao Cao's million-strong army.This guy is definitely a broom star, and he is still proud of being played by Zhou Yu in the applause.

It can be said that Jiang Gan is definitely a very happy character in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Cao Peng did not expect that he would meet Jiang Gan under such circumstances.What's more, you are a bearded man in your 30s, but you keep calling yourself a "student". How can you embarrass Cao Peng?Hearing Jiang Gan claiming to be a student, Cao Peng suddenly felt that he was really old!

But do the math, he is indeed not young.

Counting past and present lives, he has lived for more than 50 years, and Jiang Gan calls himself a 'student', so there is nothing wrong with him.

"Jiujiang Jiang Ziyi, I have heard the name for a long time."

"My lord also knows Ziyi's name?"

Jiang Gan was very pleasantly surprised, but Fazheng, who was on the side, couldn't help turning around and laughing.

Brother, Mr. Cao, that was obviously a polite remark, why did you take it seriously?In this day and age, it is often a kind of politeness to have admired the famous name for a long time, and to be so popular.Generally speaking, unless it is the kind of prestigious figure, no one really takes it seriously.

But this Jiang Gan took it seriously, and seemed very excited.

Cao Peng said with a smile: "Of course I know Ziyi's name. When I went to Haixi with my brother, I heard that Ziyi was a famous scholar in Huaihe River and Huaihe River. Being used by others, you need to be cautious in the future."

As soon as these words came out, Fazheng was stunned!

It seemed that Cao Peng really knew this person.

Could it be that Jiang Ziyi is really good?After all, Cao Peng couldn't help telling Jiang Gan's strengths, but also his shortcomings, and asked him to be careful of being used by others.This remark had a deep meaning, making Fazheng confront Cao Peng, and he couldn't help feeling jealous.

However, with Cao Peng's current reputation, it is more than enough to teach Jiang Gan a lesson.

After Jiang Gan heard Cao Peng's words, instead of being annoyed, he was very happy. He thanked him again and again, expressing that he would be more careful.

In this way, a group of people hurried to Zigui.

There was no danger along the way, but when passing by Yiling, Cao Peng met Wang Wei who was ordered to garrison Yiling.

Wang Wei is one of the fifteen Jingzhou scholars who were promoted after Cao Cao entered Jingzhou.

The official worships Zhonglang General and Jingmen Xiaowei.

At first glance, this position does not seem very high.

But in fact, he is a military officer who leads an army alone and has great power.Yiling has been an important place connecting Jingzhou to Bashu since ancient times.Wang Wei's garrison in Yiling not only guarded the west gate of Jingchu, but also had the Yishui in the south as a barrier to repel the invading enemies from Changsha.In the past month, the Wuxi Man attacked Yishui several times, but Wang Wei noticed them and defeated them one by one, which is why Cao Cao valued them.

Counting it, Wang Wei can be regarded as Cao Peng's family.

He has some friendship with Deng Ji, and it was Cao Peng who said to surrender the king's prestige at the beginning.

It is also for this reason that after Wang Wei surrendered, instead of being suppressed, he was trusted by Cao Cao.Before surrendering, Wang Wei didn't think Cao Peng had much influence.Only after he surrendered could he feel Cao Peng's great energy in the prime minister's mansion.

It is said that the Twelve Caos in the Prime Minister's Mansion are inextricably related to Cao Peng.

And the generals under Cao Cao had close business contacts with Cao Peng.Even people like Dian Wei and Xu Chu joined forces with Cao Peng to do business.Huge interest entanglements have inadvertently formed a huge net, making Cao Peng feel at ease under Cao Cao's hands.

If it is said that Wang Wei was a little arrogant before.

Now, he is very clear that if he wants to make a fortune, he must hug Cao Peng's thigh tightly.

Therefore, when Cao Peng arrived in Yiling, Wang Wei received him very warmly.Host a banquet with Dajiang, and invite Cao Peng, Huang Zhong and others.

At the banquet, Cao Peng accidentally asked about Wuxi Man.

Wang Wei couldn't help smiling bitterly and said: "The Wuxi barbarians have been a trouble in Jingchu's heart since the Han Dynasty.

Even when General Fubo Ma Yuan led his troops to quell it, he was not able to completely wipe it out.Over the years, the Chao Gang has been weak, and the Wuxi Man took advantage of the situation to grow bigger.In addition to the turmoil in the early days, many people hid in the mountains for refuge, and were gradually assimilated by the Wuxi barbarians, which was a deep-rooted worry.

When Liu Jingzhou was alive, General Han Sheng once conquered Hutou Mountain.

But it turned out..."

Wang Wei didn't go on, which aroused Cao Peng's strong curiosity.

He turned his head to look at Huang Zhong, and asked doubtfully, "Uncle Zhong, what's the result?"

Huang Zhong was older than Cao Ji, and according to the customs of this year, he would not be wronged to be Cao Peng's grandpa.Out of respect, Cao Peng respected Huang Zhong as his father.After Huang Zhong's persuasion was useless, he couldn't refuse the title of Cao Peng, but he respected Cao Peng as "son".

It was also this "father of the world" that made Huang Zhong's attitude change drastically.

As we all know, Huang Zhong once had a son who died young.Since then, he has no children again, why?But no one knows.Huang Zhong didn't seem to care on the surface, but in his heart, he still had a bit of regret.Cao Peng called him his real father, just like his child, which made Huang Zhong feel a lot of emotion in his heart.From pure service to current maintenance.The reason why he refused to leave the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry was because of the sound of 'Father of the World'.In Huang Zhong's eyes, Cao Peng and his children seem to be no different.

Hearing Cao Peng's question, Huang Zhong smiled wryly and said, "Hutoushan Mountain stretches and has complex terrain.

When I left the town of Changsha, I once led my troops to conquer.But once you enter the mountains, there is no rules.Those Wuxi barbarians were better at fighting in the mountains, so they suffered heavy casualties.These guys, who came out of the mountains as bandits and went into the mountains to serve the people, could not be wiped out at all.I once suggested that Mr. Jushi use the method of Huairou to soothe him, but the effect is not obvious.Wuxi barbarians are violent and extremely cunning.I'm also a little strange, why did Liu Xuande get Wuximan for his own use?By the way, there is one more thing, young master, be careful... That Wuxi Man's little king is named Sha Moke, and his age is almost the same as your young master, but he is born with supernatural power and unstoppable courage. , be careful. "

Shamoko?

Cao Peng had a faint impression of this name.

This person seems to be the murderer who shot and killed Gan Ning.

"If there is a chance, I would like to learn a thing or two."

Cao Peng smiled coldly, and stopped discussing this matter any further.

That night, everyone enjoyed themselves on the river and returned home.On the second day, Cao Peng led the troops and set off again, embarking on the road to Zigui.

Two days later, the group arrived in Zigui.

There was also news from the front that the Yizhou mission had set off from Quren and was rushing to Yufu.

"My lord, do you know who Zhang Yongnian is?"

Just when Cao Peng was about to enter Zigui County, Fazheng stopped him and asked a question.

Zhang Yongnian, that is, Zhang Song, the Yizhou envoy who went to Xiangyang this time.To be honest, Cao Peng really doesn't know much about him, but he has a vague impression from the memory of his previous life.This person has the ability of photographic memory, eloquence, and quick wit.

But other than that, there is no impression.

But aren't Zhang Song and Fazheng friends?Cao Peng looked at Fazheng, rolled his eyeballs, and immediately thought about it.There is a law here, why bother?
"But I don't know much."

Fazheng smiled, "Yongnian is a man with a dissolute appearance, which often makes people feel contemptuous. In fact, he is deeply scheming and has great ambitions. When I was in Chengdu, I had many contacts with Yongnian, so I knew his thoughts. Bingyi, so his mind is extremely sensitive, and he is quite self-respecting... If people respect him, he will repay him ten times, and if he slows him down, he will retaliate with all his strength. Back then when he was returning to Chengdu from the new capital, he was serving as a lieutenant in the army. Prices in Chengdu were soaring, and when chaos first appeared. Yongnian once persuaded Liu Jiyu to pay more attention, but he didn’t want to, but he didn’t follow Liu Jiyu. Therefore, he told me in private: Liu Jiyu is not a person who will make great things, and he needs to make plans early.”

"Go on."

Cao Peng looked very calm, and there was no sign of impatience on his face.

Fazheng said: "Elder brother Yongnian came out of Sichuan before, just to seek his own official position.

However, Yongnian came here this time, in my opinion, he did not have the heart to find another enlightened master...Young Master has a heart for Xichuan, so you can't neglect this person.

Zigui is too far away to show your sincerity.

I just thought that the young master should go to Wu County, and then order people to clean the streets to welcome the eternal year.I am waiting for an opportunity to get in touch with Yongnian and introduce him to the young master. I don't know what the young master wants? "

Cao Peng fell into deep thought!
To be honest, he didn't know exactly how many times Zhang Song had been sent on diplomatic missions in history.

But according to the Romance, there should be only one time.But that should have happened after the Battle of Chibi ended and Liu Bei captured the four counties in Jingnan.Now that the arrival is ahead of schedule, does Zhang Song have the "Topographic Map of Xichuan" on him?Still in between.According to the records of Romance, Cao Cao did despise Zhang Song, but Liu Bei entertained Zhang Song with a very grand ceremony, convincing him, and presented the topographic map of Xichuan.If so, Zhang Song should bring a map with him this time.Even if he didn't bring a map, Fazheng also said that Zhang Song actually had an objection... It's not impossible to form a good relationship, it's just a few steps away.

Thinking of this, Cao Peng made up his mind.

"In that case, let's leave immediately and go to Wu County."

He summoned Chief Zigui and asked him to prepare and clean up the streets for the arrival of the mission.In order to ensure no accidents, Cao Peng also left Jiang Gan and asked him to be in charge of supervision.Afterwards, the team set off again and embarked on the road to Wu County.Fazheng was also very happy with Cao Peng's decision.He was happy not for anything else, but because Cao Peng valued him.He is full of economics, isn't what he is looking for is a lord who can value him?Now, Cao Peng can change his itinerary just because of his one word, how important it is.If it is said that before Fazheng still had the intention of using Cao Peng's connections to serve Cao Cao, then now, there have been some changes.

Who are the people around Cao Cao?

Cheng Yu, a famous scholar in Yanzhou; Jia Xu, a famous scholar in Guzang.

These two people have extremely profound qualifications, and ordinary people cannot compare.Xun Yu Xun You?That's not to mention!In terms of ability, talent, learning, and background, few of Cao Cao's subordinates can compare with the two of them.That is a dignified Yingchuan wealthy family, born in a scholarly family.The only Guo Jia who doesn't seem to have much background, although young, has followed Cao Cao for more than ten years.

Ten years!

It has been reused by Cao Cao.

Although his position is not high, he is very strategic and is Cao Cao's think tank.

Fazheng's self-proclaimed ability is not necessarily inferior to the five masterminds, but is it easy to surpass them?

Instead of fighting for the seat, it is better to help Cao Peng... At least, Cao Peng is not a heartless person, and he will not treat himself badly.

Cao Peng didn't know Fazheng's change of mind.

After a day and a night, they arrived outside Wu County.The county magistrate of Wu had received the news a long time ago and went out of the city to meet him.After questioning, Cao Peng learned that the Yizhou Mission had arrived in Yufu County.According to the itinerary, tomorrow evening, they will arrive in Wu County.Cao Peng looked at the sky, it was almost dark.After pondering for a moment, he immediately said to the Magistrate Wu: "I have ordered that all the people in the city be conscripted, and the official roads will be cleaned overnight.

That is to say, anyone who is expropriated from now on will be exempted from corvee in the coming year.

Uncle Zhong, you take people to station at Shili Pavilion and wait for the arrival of the mission; Xiaozhi leads his troops to the state border to meet Zhang Yongnian and his party. "

According to Huang Zhong's temper, he would definitely not do this kind of thing to cater to others.

But when these words came out of Cao Peng's mouth, Huang Zhong thought it was justified.

"What's the difficulty? I'll arrange it right away."

Huang Zhong led a troop of soldiers and horses and went straight to Jieguanting, ten miles away.And Cao Peng, under the guidance of the county magistrate, entered the county seat of Wu county.

That night, the Wu County Long March issued corvee service and ordered the people under the rule to clean the streets and clean up the dirty places.

With Cao Peng's order, the people in Wu County didn't have any complaints. They walked out of the house overnight and cleaned the streets with a torch, working in full swing.

Cao Peng sat upright in the Wuxian county government office and did not rest.

He was thinking about how to explain this matter to Cao Cao... Cao Cao is now very satisfied with capturing Youzhou and Jingzhou.Moreover, Cao Peng also knew that Cao Cao was very disgusted with Yizhou's insatiable greed. If Zhang Song came, he might not give Zhang Song a good face.

However, this Zhang Song is precisely the key to capturing Yizhou.

Cao Peng closed his eyes, thought for a long time, and finally decided to report the seriousness of the matter to Cao Cao one by one in the form of a letter.However, what tone should I use to write this letter?Cao Peng sat by the desk and kept thinking over his words until dawn before finishing the letter.

Then, he ordered people to rush the letter to Xiangyang by six hundred miles.

I only hope that after receiving this letter, Cao Cao can change his attitude and pay more attention to Zhang Song and his party...

If you really can't change Cao Cao's attitude, then you can only kill Zhang Song.Anyway, no matter what Zhang Song decides in the end, Cao Peng will never allow him to collude with Liu Bei.

After finishing the work in hand, Cao Peng finally relaxed.

He explained to Magistrate Wu and went back to his room to rest so that he could recover enough energy to welcome the arrival of Zhang Song and his party.This sleep lasted until noon.After noon, Magistrate Wu sent someone to wake Cao Peng up.Cao Peng washed up, and then ate something.While he was eating, he heard hurried footsteps outside the porch.Immediately after the door was opened, the Magistrate of Wu walked into the room, "Report to the Governor, something is wrong...General Huang was fighting with the people from the Yizhou Mission at the Jieguan Pavilion."

"what?"

Cao Peng was also taken aback when he heard this.

"Prepare the horse with me immediately."

He also didn't care about eating, put on a cotton robe, and rushed out of the room.

Some soldiers had prepared their horses a long time ago. Cao Peng got on his horse, beat the horse and raised his whip, and went straight to the Jieguan Pavilion.

However, Cao Peng was a little puzzled.Huang Zhong is not the kind of person who can't distinguish between the serious and the serious. He should know what he is plotting, why did he fight with the Yizhou Mission?Moreover, he also thought of one thing at this time.When Magistrate Wu reported to him, he said that "Huang Zhong fought with the people from the Yizhou Mission". Note that it was "the fight with the people from the Yizhou Mission", not "the fight with the Yizhou Mission." group of people'.That is to say, among the Yizhou missions, there are people who can compete with Huang Zhong.

Who is Huang Zhong?

General of the Five Tigers of Shuhan!
At the age of sixty, he can still fight Guan Yu evenly.

But now, Huang Zhong is not yet sixty, and his spirit is much stronger than when he was sixty years old.Even Zhao Yun said that it would take more than 60 rounds to decide the outcome with Huang Zhong.But now, there is actually someone in the Yizhou mission who can stand up to Huang Zhong, and he is by no means an idle person.

The brain turned rapidly, and Cao Peng carefully recalled, the general of Shuzhong.

There are only a handful of people who can be counted in Xichuan... Zhang Ren, Lei Tong, Leng Bao?By the way, there is also a veteran Yan Yan!

Who is it that came with the mission?
Cao Peng couldn't help feeling somewhat curious...

Before the person arrived at the Jieguan Pavilion, he heard shouts of killing coming from the direction of Jieguan Pavilion.

On the official road, two teams of men and horses lined up on both sides of the road, and two generals circled the official road, fighting inextricably.One of them is Huang Zhong.But seeing the yellow puma under his crotch, holding the dragon sparrow sword in his palm, he kept yelling loudly, the sword light was shining, the sword cloud was rolling, and his momentum was terrifying; and the Yizhou general who was fighting with Huang Zhong should be about the same age as Huang Zhong little...

He was also in his early fifties, with a long gray beard fluttering under his jaw.

Under the crotch is a purple roe, and in the palm is also a sharp ring of a hundred-refined dragonfinch.Facing Huang Zhong's ferocious attack, this veteran was not afraid at all, and greeted him with a sword.The two circled and fought in the middle of the official road, and what they killed was inextricable.However, it can be seen that the veteran Yizhou player does not seem to be Huang Zhong's opponent.Although on the surface, the two looked like equals, their aura was somewhat messy.

Sure enough it was him!

Cao Peng saw the veteran clearly and immediately understood the identity of the opponent.

It was at this time that Huang Zhong suddenly changed his saber posture, and the big saber seemed to weigh a thousand catties in his hand.Seemingly slow but fast, he slashed towards the veteran.But the veteran was caught off guard, seeing that the situation was unstoppable, he gritted his teeth and raised his knife to meet him.

Cao Peng knew that Huang Zhong's knife was called Lianshan Jiuzhuan.

The accurate explanation is converted from the "wiping" tactic of the knife method, one knife connects with another, one knife is as fast as one knife, and its power is infinite.

Cao Peng didn't dare to neglect, and galloped forward on his horse.

"General Han Sheng and Old General Yan are all on our own, so stop fighting."

While speaking, the horse has arrived at the front of the battle.Immediately, a young general rushed out from the team of the Yizhou Mission, rode his horse and twisted his gun, and shouted sharply: "Do you want to bully the few?"

But he saw Cao Peng, turning a blind eye to the young general, he suddenly turned around on the horse, and several rays of light flew out of his hands.

The iron meteor roared away with great power.The young general was so frightened that he quickly dodged, but on the battlefield, Huang Zhong and the veteran raised their knives to block, and escaped Cao Peng's hidden weapon technique of nine stars flying to the moon.

Huang Zhong steered his horse back, and the old general also reined in his horse and slashed his saber, shouting sharply, "Who is the comer!"
