Cao Thief

Chapter 741

Guan Yu looked a little tired.

Compared with the previous high-spirited appearance, they looked like two people.At this moment, he was sitting on the city wall, and he could directly see the movement of Cao Jun's movement down the road.

A military doctor pulled out the broken spear in his leg.

Cao Peng's blow pierced through his thigh.Although Guan Yu cut off most of it, there was still a broken spear nearly three feet long in his body.The military doctor pulled it out carefully, and blood sprayed out along the wound.But Guan Yu's face, which was like a jujube, was as pale as paper at the moment.But he still looked calm, as if he didn't feel any pain at all.Only Xiaoxiao, who supported him, could feel how hard Guan Yu's big hand was holding his arm, as if it was about to crush his arm...

"Your Majesty, it's done!"

The military doctor pulled out the broken spear, stopped the bleeding for Guan Yu, and bandaged him properly.

Guan Yu nodded and said suddenly, "Help me up."

While speaking, I saw a young man appearing at the end of the road, with the support of others, he came slowly.

Guan Yu's relatives immediately showed vigilance.Because they could all recognize that the person who came was the famous Governor Cao.

"Second General, Ponte is here to pay a visit."

Cao Peng's voice was hoarse and somewhat weak.

Guan Yuhong said: "Please."

He stood up straight, trying not to appear weak.

And Cao Peng, with the support of Dianman and Xu Yi, walked slowly on the Chi Road.

"Cao Peng, do you want to persuade him to surrender?"

Cao Peng smiled, "No, I'm actually sending the second general on his way."

Guan Yu Danfeng narrowed his eyes, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.But immediately, he smiled again, "Grand Governor, you are indeed a smart person.

If you dare to persuade Guan to surrender, Guan will immediately drive you to the city. "

"The loyalty of the second general is well known in the world.

The battle of Jiangxia was not a crime of war, it was the general trend.Under such circumstances, the general still spared no expense to return to Changsha to join Liu Bei. He is indeed a loyal man.Maybe thousands of years later, people in the world should remember the name of the general and be a model of heroes in the world. How can someone persuade him to surrender? "

To be honest, Guan Yu in this life is far less famous than Guan Yu in history.

He did not behead Yan Liang and Wen Chou, nor did he ride thousands of miles alone, pass five passes and kill six generals... However, this did not stop Cao Peng from respecting Guan Yu.As an opponent, Cao Peng will use all means to deal with Guan Yu.Now that the war is over, there is no need to use any more means.Cao Peng and Guan Yu, one at the top of the Chidao and the other at the end of the Chidao, looked at each other silently for a long time, neither of them said anything.

After a while, Cao Peng suddenly cupped his hands and said, "Second General, let's go."

"Little thief, someone will take your head in the next life."

Cao Peng laughed, "In this life, friends are not opponents of generals."

"Little thief, take care."

A smile flashed on Guan Yu's face, and he said goodbye to Cao Peng.

The second master seldom smiled, giving people a sense of majesty.But he laughed at this time, which made Cao Peng feel that Guan Yu still had a human side.

After all, Guan Erye, who was passed down from later generations, is too divine.

Er Ye is actually just an ordinary person, some people have emotions, others have emotions.

In the previous life, when he was young, Cao Peng admired the second master very much; however, when he grew up, he saw various comments about the second master.For example, he is lustful, for example, he is hypocritical.But in fact, which hero is not lustful?That's just human instinct... The reason why people hate him is only because he once thought too good of him.When a person steps down from the altar, he will always be blamed by others...

Cao Peng left with the support of Dianman and Xu Yi.

Guan Yu leaned on a long knife and watched Cao Peng go away...

After a while, only the rumble of war drums under the city was heard.Xu Chu ordered to attack the top of the city!Originally, he wanted to capture Guan Yu alive, but after Cao Peng persuaded him, Xu Chu changed his mind.This is a loyal person, it is absolutely impossible to surrender, let alone be captured alive.Rather than letting him live in humiliation, it is better to let him die in a heroic battle, so as to live up to the name of the second master's future martial saint.

Cao Jun launched an attack towards the head of Dongguan city.

But Cao Peng ignored him completely, and with the support of Dianman and Xu Yi, he walked towards Dongguan Bridge...

Behind him, the sound of shouting and killing was loud.

From time to time, shrill screams came into his ears.

It's just that the shouts of killing didn't last too long. When Cao Peng walked onto the Dongguan Bridge, the shouts of killing suddenly stopped.Cao Peng's body trembled, and he stopped suddenly.But he didn't look back, but stood on the Dongguan Bridge in a daze, looking up at the sky, without saying a word for a long time.

"Second brother!"

"Ok?"

"Take me back to Hanshou."

"what?"

"The Xiajun battle is over, and the general situation of the Jiangxia battle has been decided.

Liu Bei is powerless to fight back, Jiangdong Sun Quan must also make a decision, Tai Shici and the others, it is almost time to retreat...

There is no suspense about the war in Jingnan.

I want to go back to Hanshou to recuperate and return to Xudu after a while. "

"Back to Xudu?"

Dianman and Xu Yi couldn't understand Cao Peng's mood at this time.

Cao Peng smiled and said, "I'm tired!"

It has been more than two years since he took charge of Nanyang County.In the past two years, Cao Peng has exhausted his mind and mind, and has never had a single day of peace of mind.

Compared to when he was in Hexi County, the conquest of Jingchu almost exhausted all his mind.

Yes, he is so tired!
In the past two years, he has achieved brilliant results and lost countless plays.

In the battle of Nanyang, Fu Xun and others died in battle; and in the battle of Xiajun, three subordinates, Kou Feng, Luo Meng and Liu Cong, were lost.Although the three of them have not been with Cao Peng for too long, emotionally, it is still somewhat unacceptable.He didn't know what he would lose in the next battle.But he couldn't bear the pain anymore, so he might as well let go of it.

Besides, Xun Yu once said to him: It is enough to do everything well.

In the battle of Jingchu, Cao Peng has done enough... If he tries to claim credit, sooner or later he will be in danger of being the one with the most meritorious service.

Cao Cao favors him, but it does not mean that he will always tolerate him.

When Cao Cao can't bear Cao Peng's meritorious deeds, I'm afraid it will be the day when the two will turn against each other.

Cao Peng really didn't want to turn against Cao Cao.Instead of this, it would be better to leave early.As for the battle of Jingnan, Cao Cao is in charge.

After all, since Cao Cao's conquest of Jingchu, except for a little bit of fighting in Jiangxia, he has hardly made a difference.

The battle of Jingnan will be the time for Cao Cao to show his bravery to the astonishing.This kind of limelight, Cao Peng will definitely not grab it, otherwise disaster will happen.

Dianman and Xu Yi looked at each other, and finally agreed to Cao Peng's request.

In March of the 13th year of Jian'an, the Battle of Jiangxia ended.

From the beginning of the war to the end of the war, it took only one month.In this battle, Cao Cao took all of Jiangxia's [-] counties, and his troops marched straight to Jingnan.

And Sun Quan in Jiangdong couldn't help but be awed by Cao Jun's combat power.

Cao's army did not use troops to the east of the river, which made it difficult for Sun Quan's navy to display its advantages.

Under such circumstances, Sun Quan ordered Zhou Yu to be the governor, command the Jiangdong water army, and sit in Chaisang.At the same time, Sun Quan ordered to gather soldiers and horses to Peng Ze to prevent Cao's army from attacking.After the military arrangements were made, Sun Quan began to use diplomatic means.After Xiling County was destroyed, Sun Quan immediately appointed Zhang Hong as an envoy to lead a delegation across the river to visit Jingzhou.Prior to this, Cao Cao had been actively seeking diplomatic peace talks, while Sun Quan had been lukewarm.But with the end of the Jiangxia war, Sun Quan had to change his attitude.

During this mission, Sun Quan took the initiative to propose the idea of ​​getting married as soon as possible, and was willing to send Sun Shao to Xudu.

But he didn't expect that as soon as he dispatched the mission, he got the news: Sun Shao's mother and son left the ancestral house in Fuchun, whereabouts are unknown.

Sun Quan was shocked when he heard this.

He quickly sent people to Fuchun to investigate.At the same time, he ordered people to chase after the mission, and changed the object of courtship from Sun Shao to Sun Lang.Sun Lang, the youngest son of Sun Quan, with the word Zao An, was born to Wu Guotai, and he was only ten years old.Sun Shao disappeared, so someone needs to replace him.Otherwise, the marriage is said to be successful, but the groom's official does not see anyone, which will inevitably make Cao Cao dissatisfied.At least for now, Sun Quan has no courage to provoke Cao Cao.

Sun Lang is older than Sun Shao, but it seems more suitable than Sun Shao.

After all, Cao Cao and Sun Jian are of the same generation, while Sun Shao and Cao Cao's daughter are obviously a generation behind.Sun Lang is considered to be a nephew, so it seems that there is nothing inappropriate with Cao Cao's daughter.Anyway, it is a political marriage, whether it is Sun Shao or Sun Lang, there is not much difference between Sun Quan and Cao Cao.The question is, where did Sun Shao's mother and son go?Where are you now?

In Sun Quan's heart, he couldn't help being a little more wary of Zhou Yu.

In his opinion, Zhou Yu is the most likely person in Jiangdong to help Sun Shao.

Zhou Yu is now the captain of the navy, in charge of the Jiangdong navy, with astonishing power... and Zhou Yu and Sun Ce are best friends and even brothers-in-law.Under such circumstances, it seemed reasonable for Zhou Yu to help Sun Shao.Sun Quan was secretly startled, he worried that behind Sun Shao's escape, there were more inside stories hidden.Because of this, Sun Quan began to become suspicious, and his temper became more violent.

March of the 13th year of Jian'an was a beautiful season.

But in this month, Liu Qi died in battle, Jiang Xia was defeated, and Guan Yu committed suicide in Xiajun.

Under Cao Peng's persuasion, Xu Chu did not cut off Guan Yu's head, but ordered people to send the bodies of Guan Yu and his son to Liu Bei in Linxiang.

When Liu Bei heard the news of Guan Yu's death, he wept bitterly.

If Ma Liang and the others hadn't tried their best to stop him, I'm afraid Liu Bei would immediately gather troops and conquer Xiajun.

But even so, although Liu Bei did not send troops, the whole army wore mourning.Together with Zhang Fei, he greeted Guan Yu and his son's coffin by the Boluo River.

In April of the 13th year of Jian'an, Guan Yu and his son were buried by the Xiangjiang River.

In the same month, Cao Cao issued a eulogy to commemorate Guan Yu, and ordered a truce, and ordered Xun Yu to lead his troops back to Yuannan and not continue to attack Yiyang.

With the end of the war, Jingnan ushered in a short period of peace.

Zhuge Liang hurried back to Changsha County from Jiangdong to discuss countermeasures with Liu Bei.

This trip to Jiangdong, Zhuge Liang basically failed!Although Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Zhuge Jin and others agreed to unite Liu against Cao, due to Cao Cao's restraint, Jiangdong did not agree with each other.However, Sun Quan expressed his willingness to support Liu Bei and fight against Cao Cao.

He also proposed that he would order people to restrain Jiangxia's soldiers and horses, and give Liu Bei a lot of food and grass to recruit soldiers and horses.

Liu Bei was helpless, but he had to face such a result.At the same time, news also came from Xichuan that Yan Yan, the prefect of Bajun, withdrew his troops, and Liu Zhang was willing to support Liu Bei, and promised to help Liu Bei fight against Cao Cao with three thousand troops.According to the news from Xi Zuo, Xi Chuan is in a bad situation now.Prices are soaring, and although materials are abundant, compared with earlier, there is obviously a shortage.

Especially in the southern Sichuan region, the Nanman is ready to move.

While Zhang Lu was in Hanzhong, he was also eyeing Yizhou...

This situation can be described as internal and external troubles.Liu Zhang's ability to support Liu Bei's three thousand soldiers is quite interesting... After all, he has too many internal problems to solve, and he dare not offend Cao Cao, so he naturally restrained himself.Liu Bei was disappointed, but still sent Ma Liang to Xichuan to thank Chengdu.Liu Zhang said: If Jingnan cannot live, I would like to ask Liu Bei to go to Xichuan, at least give him a place to stay.

Liu Bei, I am so grateful!

In April of the 13th year of Jian'an, Cao Peng led his troops and returned to Hanshou.

In the battle of Xiajun, Cao Peng suffered heavy losses.Not to mention Kou Feng's three deaths in battle, when the three thousand healthy soldiers returned to Hanshou, they were only in the early [-]s.

And Cao Peng's meticulously crafted dark fighters also killed or injured dozens of people.

This loss, especially better than two thousand soldiers, made Cao Peng feel very sorry.

The harvest is that he captured Ma Di.

Cao Peng didn't have much affection for Ma Di.In history, the arbitrariness of the Battle of Jieting caused Zhuge Liang to beheaded in tears...a guy who pretended to be smart, a character like Zhao Kuo.But Fazheng thought that Ma Di had read military books and was proficient in strategy.In the battle of Xiajun, even Fazheng did not discover the mystery of Fengchengding, but Ma Di noticed it.This person can at least be an excellent staff member, fill in the gaps, and can also be called a helper.Whether Ma Di can be used well depends on Cao Peng's own ability!
Cao Peng felt that what Fazheng said made sense.

In fact, apart from the battle of Jieting in history, Ma Su did not do too badly.

The defeat in the battle of Jieting was certainly due to Ma Di's self-consciousness, but Zhuge Liang had no idea about the people and improper employment, so he had to be held accountable.When Liu Bei was dying, he once told Zhuge Liang that Ma Su's words were exaggerated and should not be used much.Facts have also proved that Liu Bei's vision of seeing people is hundreds of times stronger than Zhuge Liang's.It's just that Zhuge Liang trusted Ma Di too much in the later period, which made Ma Di bear the eternal infamy.

There is no virtue that cannot be used, only a master who cannot use others!

Cao Peng thought for a while, then decided to find an opportunity to persuade Ma Di to surrender...

But as a matter of urgency, he still had to return to Hanshou first.The injury on his body has improved, and it is no longer a big problem.But Xu Chu was not at ease, and it was Xu Chu's kindness to let Dianman and Xu Yi lead a thousand tiger guards to escort Cao Peng.

Originally, to return to Hanshou, it was necessary to pass through the area where Jiangdong soldiers and horses were stationed.

However, due to the Dongting water battle, the Jiangdong navy suffered heavy losses, which also allowed Du Ji's ships to cross Dongting Lake and even enter the Boluo River.

So far, the overall situation has been settled.

Tai Shici also knew that it would be meaningless to embarrass Cao Peng any more.

Rather than doing this, it would be better to give a favor... So, Tai Shici ordered Xu Sheng to gather the Jiangdong water army ships and not obstruct Cao Jun's passage.In this way, Du Ji led the water army to successfully receive Cao Peng, and then returned to Dongting along the Boluo River and arrived at Hanshou City.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++
Jiangxia, Xiling County.

Guo Jia was in a hurry, and directly broke into the Chinese army's tent.

After Cao Cao occupied Xiling, he did not enter Xiling, but camped outside the city.Later, he appointed Pang Shanmin as the prefect of Jiangxia, which further stabilized the hearts of scholars in Jingxiang.Pang Shanmin is now in Wuling County, assisting Cao Peng in his work.Therefore, although the order was issued, it was not possible to take office immediately.Cao Cao decided to temporarily station in Xiling, saying that it was to stabilize the situation in Jiangxia, but in fact it was more to deter Jiangdong.

When Guo Jia entered the tent, Cao Cao was discussing matters with Dong Zhao and others.

According to the current situation, the peace of the land of Jingchu is just around the corner.However, in the Battle of Jiangxia, the performance of the Jingzhou navy, that is, Cai Mao, made Cao Cao extremely dissatisfied.It was precisely because of Cai Mao's delay that Xia Jun suffered a fierce battle.If it wasn't for Zhang Ying's advice, Xu Chu and Xu Huang would have arrived in Xiajun in time, maybe Cao Peng would have died at the Dongguan Bridge, and Guan Yu would have broken through and joined Liu Bei.

There are various indications that Cai Mao is not a suitable candidate for the navy.

As the land of Jingchu gradually stabilized, Cao Cao made up his mind to take this opportunity to dismiss Cai Mao.

However, who will succeed Cai Mao in command of the navy?Always a tough question to decide...

Du Ji performed well, and Xun Yu also praised him in the letter.And he is from Cao Peng's family, so there is no need to worry about loyalty.

The problem is that Du Ji has good ability, but his qualifications are still inexperienced.

He was able to command [-] sailors to gain a firm foothold in Dongting Lake. To put it bluntly, it was Cao Peng who supported him.

A person without much military exploits and mediocre qualifications, suddenly took over the navy?Even if Cao Peng agrees, he may not be able to convince the public.

After all, Cao Cao has too many experienced people.

Just when Cao Cao was arguing with everyone, Guo Jia ran in.

After hearing the question from Cao Cao and others, Guo Jia laughed, "What should I think? It turned out to be just this question... Jia has a candidate in his mind. This person is the prefect of a county. He has made great military achievements and is quite prestigious. And He was born on the water and is proficient in water warfare. It’s just that he’s mostly been on land these years, so no one has noticed. If this person is the commander of the navy, he is indeed the most suitable candidate.”

When Cao Cao heard this, he was stunned!
Why do I have such a person under my command, but I don't know?

"Feng Xiao said, who is it?"

"It's the prefect of Hefei, Gan Ning Gan Xingba."

"Gan Ning?"

Of course Cao Cao knew who Gan Ning was!

Back then, he was the one who begged Gan Ning out from Cao Peng, and in the blink of an eye eight years later, Gan Ning fought south and north, and indeed made many meritorious deeds.

Since Gan Ning was born under Cao Peng's family, he was supported by Cao Peng.

Therefore, the prestige in the army is not weak, whether it is Cao Ren, Cao Hong, or Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, has a very close relationship with him.Yu Jin Zangba also cooperated with Gan Ning very tacitly in the past few years.In the three years in Hefei, Ganning and Jiangdong fought dozens of battles, with more victories and fewer losses.

Guo Jia laughed and said: "Xing Ba was in Berkshire in his early years, and he had a good reputation as Jin Fan.

Ruxukou, he cooperated with Zhou Cang tacitly and defeated the Jiangdong navy several times, with rich experience.If this person took over the navy, even a Jingzhou native would agree. "

"You said that Xingba has outstanding ability and is suitable for commanding the navy, I have no objection.

However, Cai Mao was in charge of the Jingzhou navy, and he resigned Cai Mao rashly. How could the Jingzhou family agree?I don't think it's very reliable. "

Dong Zhao immediately retorted, seemingly disapproving.

Guo Jia said with a smile: "Gan Ning's ancestral home is Jingzhou, so he is half Jingzhou native.

The most important thing is that he was once a student of Youxue, and he was highly respected by Youxue's father-in-law.It was Mr. Huang who sent Xingba to Youxue back then, and Mr. Huang was a well-known scholar in Jingzhou.His prestige is far superior to that of Kuai Yue Kuai Liang, almost as famous as Duke Pang De, and he is a leading figure among the famous scholars in Jingxiang.What's more, Mr. Huang is also from a famous family. The status of the Huang family in Jiangxia is far higher than that of the Cai family in Xiangyang.As long as Mr. Huang is willing to come forward, the Jingzhou scholars will have nothing to say.I heard people say that the old man is now giving lectures in Fuxi Mountain in Xingyang!The prime minister can order to treat the members of the Huang clan in Jiangxia kindly and order people to repair the Huang clan's ancestral hall.At that time, please invite the old man to return to his hometown to worship his ancestors, and he will be done. "

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help nodding their heads in appreciation.

Cao Cao pointed at Guo Jia and said with a smile: "It's still Fengxiao who is quick-witted and quick to think of such an idea, and he really lives up to the name of a ghost."

Dong Zhao may still be a little unconvinced, but it's hard to refute.

After all, Guo Jia's idea is the most suitable for now.Besides, Cao Peng was also involved here... Dong Zhao didn't want to turn against Cao Peng because of this matter.He has a good relationship with the Cao family, not to mention that the family still has shares in Cao Pengfu Paper House.

If Cao Peng is annoyed, the gain outweighs the loss.

At that moment, Dong Zhao also nodded and said, "Gan Xingba is indeed the right candidate."

"Since this is the case, then Gongren will arrange this matter.

The matter of the Jingzhou navy cannot be delayed any longer. It must be resolved in June at the most.As for Mr. Huang, I'll send someone to talk to Xiang. It's probably not a big problem.

Well, let's leave today.

Please make arrangements, and Zhang Hong will lead the mission to arrive in two days. There must be a lot of verbal confrontation, and everyone needs to do their best. "

"I'll wait and do my best."

Dong Zhao and others withdrew from the Chinese military camp, but Guo Jia did not leave.

Cao Cao asked, "Feng Xiao, what's the matter?"

"Writing and letters, Xu has changed."

"what?"

Cao Cao was taken aback, and hurriedly signaled Guo Jia to submit the letter.

After Cao Cao entered Xudu, he made Jia Xu sit in Xudu to supervise the affairs.

Xun Yu rushed from Xudu to Jingzhou at the invitation of Cao Peng, so Jia Xu was in charge of Xudu's affairs.

Guo Jia submitted the letter, then stood aside without saying a word.Cao Cao was serious, and after reading the letter, a trace of coldness appeared on his face.

"Is this true?"

"There shouldn't be any difference...Wen He has always been cautious in doing things. Didn't Ah Fu also say that this person has no plans to spare, and he will never make mistakes.

Moreover, I also heard people say that Fuwan and Linyihou have been a little active recently, and their actions are quite frequent.

If you don't pay attention, I'm afraid it will lead to disaster sooner or later.The battle of Jingzhou cannot be ended for a while, and the prime minister needs to make an early decision to avoid future troubles. "

"The meaning of filial piety..."

"Wen Ruo is not in Xudu now, so he can do it."

"You know, that's not what I meant. I was just wondering, who should come forward?"

Guo Jia showed hesitation, lowered his head and pondered.

After a while, he raised his head resolutely, and said in a deep voice: "We should ask Ting Wei to come forward and take full responsibility for this matter.

It's just that a strong person is needed to deter the situation.Jia thought that this person must be Ah Fu... I heard that he was injured in Xiajun, so it is just right for him to return to recuperate.Speaking of which, these two years are enough for him to go back and get together with his family. "

Cao Cao was silent!

"Do you really want Ah Fu?"

"It must be him."

"Where is he now?"

"It is said that he has returned to Hanshou."

"Let me think about this matter again..." Cao Cao seemed a little hesitant, and said softly after a while: "Let's welcome the Jiangdong Mission first, and then make a decision."

"Here!"

"Ah Fu, you'd better send someone to go there.

In the battle of Xiajun, he suffered heavy losses.I heard that among the four personal guards around him, three of them died in battle... It is estimated that he will not be in a good mood either.That child is an emotional person. Although he is strong on weekdays, he is indeed an emotional person.The three people who died in the battle need to be properly arranged, and their families should be well settled, so as not to chill the hearts of the soldiers.I just got some good wine a few days ago, took thirty bottles and sent it to Hanshou.

Pass on my order, Jiayou will be the general after learning, and Kaifu Yitong will be the third division. "

Guo Jia was startled, and immediately understood Cao Cao's thoughts.

To some extent, Cao Cao has agreed to his proposal...

The generals of the Eastern Han Dynasty had the titles of Great General, General Hussars, General Chariots, General Wei, and Generals Front, Back, Left, and Right.Among them, the generals are above the three princes, the generals of hussars, generals of chariots, and generals of Wei are below the three princes and above the nine ministers;Originally, the position of general was not very ruled, but since the middle of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the empress dowager came to the court and called the system, and the relatives often fought with the generals, and they were called the five mansions together with the three princes of the Taifu.After that, all generals can open mansions and set up special staff.

Cao Peng's original Yokono General was a miscellaneous general.

It is set during wartime and canceled if there is no war.

Although Cao Peng has always had a shogunate, there is no official establishment after all.

But now, Cao Cao added General Cao Peng and ordered him to open the third division of Fu Yitong, which means that Cao Peng's staff has a formal establishment.

According to the rules, the general opened the mansion, and the mansion had a long history, a Sima, two Zhonglang, 29 members of the genus, and 31 members of the lingshiyu.Moreover, the general leads the army with his own number, and has standing parts and school lieutenants.Since Cao Cao opened the prime minister's mansion, no one has obtained the power to open the mansion.Although the latter general is under Jiuqing, he has great power.As a relative of the emperor, Liu Bei is only the left general, still under the rear general.It can be said that Cao Cao gave Cao Peng the right to open the mansion, to a certain extent, it also showed Cao Peng's status in the prime minister's mansion.

What about the cost?

Guo Jia smiled wryly: I hope Ah Fu will not blame me when he finds out!

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++
With the arrival of early summer, the temperature in Jingnan increases sharply.

The scorching sun during the day and the drizzle at night made the weather hot and humid.Many people who are used to the northern weather are not quite used to it.

The same is true for Cao Peng, who felt extremely uncomfortable staying in the Governor's Mansion to recover from his injuries.

The war in Jingnan was temporarily suspended, and it also ushered in a period of peace for Wuling.

Lai Gong sent someone to visit Cao Peng and told Pang Shanmin that he was going to be the prefect of Jiangxia.Cao Peng was prepared for this, so he was not surprised.

The wound is healing gradually, but it will take time to fully heal.

The knife Guan Yu stabbed Cao Peng was more ruthless than Cao Peng wounded Guan Yu.

In a way, the meridian is hurt.After Hua Tuo came to Hanshou to diagnose Cao Peng, he warned Cao Peng that he should not do anything with others within three months, otherwise his life would be affected in the future.Therefore, Cao Peng could only obediently obey his orders and stay in Jiangyang's body in the governor's mansion every day.

Xun Yu has returned to Zuotang, and it is said that he will go to Jiangxia in the near future.

Hanshou didn't have much to do. Fazheng, Zhang Song and Jiang Wan took care of all matters big and small, and Cao Peng was happy to have a leisurely time.

On this day, Cao Peng invited Huang Zhong to go boating on Dongting Lake.

But suddenly someone came to report: "Tai Shici sent someone to say that there is a banquet on the lake, and the governor is invited to go and talk about it."

Cao Peng was stunned for a moment!
What is the meaning of Tai Shici inviting me to the banquet?

"Excuse me, when?"

"Three days later, on Dongting Lake."

Cao Peng frowned, he couldn't help hesitating.

He has no friendship with Tai Shici, and he has never even met him face to face.However, Cao Peng really admired this person, after all, he was also a general he respected and loved in his previous life.Among the military officials in Jiangdong, Cao Peng didn't like many people.Sun Ce is one, and Tai Shici is also one.In contrast, perhaps it was the deliberate ugliness of Zhou Yu in the novel, which made Cao Peng quite dislike Zhou Yu.

"Please ask the military adviser and the long history to come."

Cao Peng thought about it and decided to cancel today's plan.

After a while, Fazheng, Zhang Song and Jiang Wan came one after another.

Cao Peng explained the situation in detail, and then asked: "Taishi Ziyi and I have never had any friendship, so why are we suddenly hosting a banquet on the lake?"

Fazheng and the other three were also a little confused!
Generally speaking, such a banquet requires at least a little friendship.But Cao Peng and Tai Shici don't know each other well, so it's impossible to talk about their friendship.The two sides are hostile. Although the war in Jingnan has subsided, it is always an enemy-our relationship.Inviting Cao Peng to go at this time may have ulterior motives.But what is the reason?Fazheng and the others couldn't guess a clue for a while.

"The governor is in charge of the war in Jingnan. He has a high position and authority, and he should not be easily involved in danger."

Jiang Wan didn't know Taishi Ci well, so he naturally objected.

But Zhang Song said: "It's not necessarily the case. Because of the high position and authority of the governor, you can't refuse it easily, lest you be ridiculed by Tai Shici."

"Is it more important to save face, or is life more important?"

"The governor is the representative of the prime minister in Jingzhou, so face is naturally important."

"Don't even care about your life for the sake of face?"

"Ha, in my opinion, Tai Shi Ziyi may not have such courage."

"Yongnian's words are not bad, but just because Tai Shici 'may not' have the courage to put the governor in danger, wouldn't it be too childish?"

Before Cao Peng and Fazheng could speak, Jiang Wan and Zhang Song started arguing.

After a while, Fazheng said, "This time, Tai Shici's invitation may not be malicious.

The Jiangdong Mission is about to arrive in Jiangxia, and even if he thinks about it, he would not dare to make troubles at such a time.In my opinion, the governor can go to the banquet.Just be more careful and order Du Bohou to lead his troops to accompany him... In case Tai Shici has tricks, he can also protect the governor. "

"Exactly, exactly... What Xiaozhi said makes sense."

Jiang Wan and Zhang Song immediately stopped arguing and nodded in agreement.

However, Cao Peng did not speak.

He was silent for a long time, and suddenly laughed out loud.

He stood up tall and said with a smile: "Xiaozhi's words are very true, I guess that Taishi Ziyi can't help me.

That's it, tell Tai Shici's people that I will go to a banquet in three days... Let's see what Tai Shici means. "

Well, it's another [-]-character chapter.

Can I ask for a monthly pass?
(End of this chapter)
