Cao Thief

Chapter 773 Master and Apprentice?Father and son?
On the first day of the first lunar month, it was extremely calm.

In addition to a small conflict in Guangling, Jiang Wan temporarily set up a checkpoint. In a caravan heading to Jiangdong, he accidentally found a eight-ox crossbow, which immediately attracted Jiang Wan's attention.The caravan was owned by the merchants in Danyang. After the eight-ox crossbow was discovered, they immediately resisted and more than ten people were killed on the spot.

The eight-ox crossbow is a major weapon of Cao Jun.

Although assembly has already begun, they are extremely scarce and guarded very closely.In the water army, only large-scale buildings can be equipped.In the infantry, it is even more closely guarded military supplies.

It is said that Cao Jun has already begun to assemble the crossbow, but it is still being deployed.

The power of the eight-ox crossbow is astonishing. After countless improvements and adjustments, a single arrow can cut through the middle of a warship within eighty steps.Naturally, such a powerful weapon should be kept properly.Not to mention businessmen, even in the army, there are special personnel to take care of them, and they need to be counted every day.

Jiang Wan immediately reported to Man Chong!

This is not a trivial matter... Jiangdong was able to produce a complete eight-ox crossbow, what went wrong?
Man Chong also attached great importance to it. After getting the news, he rushed to Guangling overnight.

After two days of torture, the merchant finally confessed that he had painstakingly obtained the eight-ox crossbow from a person in Langya County.But who is it?He can't tell!However, he explained that the man seemed to be quite powerful in the local area. After he made the request, the man only hesitated for a moment, and immediately agreed.In less than a month, he got this eight-ox crossbow.

Langya County?
Man Chong was a little surprised.

After careful consideration, he decided to report this matter to Cao Cao.

After all, if the other party can produce this eight-ox crossbow, they must not be idlers, so they must be treated with caution.

That same day, Jiang Wan quietly sent a secret letter to Yecheng...

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
After Cao Peng returned home, he still felt uncomfortable.

What an important position Zuo Zhonglang entrusted to such an unknown person?It's too child's play!
That's right, Huan Lang is a close minister of Cao Cao, and even a relative of Mrs. Huan.

But he doesn't have any credit, let alone prestige, how can he take on such an important position?Even if it is a false name, it is not justified!Cao Peng couldn't understand why Cao Cao made such a mistake?This was something that was absolutely impossible to happen before, but now...

At dinner, although he forced a smile on his face, he greeted everyone.

However, the atmosphere at home still seemed a little depressing.

Cao Ji asked Cao Peng in private: "That Huanlang is an unreasonable person. Don't you offend him by treating him like this?"

When Cao Peng heard this, he sneered, "Father, what are you afraid of?

The surname Cao is not Huan in this world, so it is not his turn to show off in front of us men.If he doesn't apologize at noon tomorrow, I will smash his farm and ruin his residence.I fought bloody battles in the front, but I couldn't let these people make trouble for me behind.If it angers me, I'm not afraid to let him know how the three characters Cao Yanwang are written. "

Cao Peng's tough attitude reassured Cao Ji.

"By the way, Xiao Shao's kid seems a little unhappy when he came back today, and he didn't eat much for dinner...

Did you mention him? "

"Just a few lessons."

"Children, it is inevitable that you will make mistakes, so don't be too strict.

Talk when it's time to talk, coax when it's time to coax... That Xiao Shao is not from an idler's background, he is arrogant and tight.You have to guide him well, don't let him get into a dead end and ruin a child for nothing. "

"This……"

Cao Peng thought for a while and agreed.

He likes Sun Shao very much.

This child has the style of being a father, bold and strong.

Speaking of which, today's incident can't be blamed on Sun Shao, even his old mother let him play... Who would have thought that such a thing would happen in the boundary of Yecheng?Cao Peng was also very angry at the time, so he scolded Sun Shao.But in the heart of the child, it might not feel that there is some grievance.

Cao Ji ran to play with the children!
Cai Yan and others gathered together, or whispered, saying that they were playing a game of throwing pots.

Cao Peng thought for a while, got up and walked out of the side hall.

"Where is Xiao Shao?"

He found Ma Di who was on duty tonight, and asked softly.

Ma Di said: "Mr. Sun seems to be a little depressed today, so just now Mr. Deng, Zijun, and Mr. Xu dragged him to the school grounds, saying that he was practicing martial arts... Young master, what happened? Should I go find him?"

"Forget it, I'll go by myself."

Cao Peng waved his hand and went straight to the school grounds.

Far away, I heard a burst of shouting and shouting, and the impact of the white wax pole made a sound of tuk-tuk-tuk.

So he stopped on the sidelines and stopped to watch.

A bright moon hangs high, and the fight is in full swing in the arena.

Wang Ping and Xu Gai fought Sun Shao in double battle, and the two white wax poles made the wind and rain impenetrable, forcing Sun Shao to retreat steadily.

Deng Ai was watching the battle, and there were several people standing beside him.

Cao Wan was also there, happily cheering for Sun Shao.

Cao Yang and Jiang Wei, on the other hand, pointed and talked in low voices from time to time.

If you fight alone, neither Wang Ping nor Xu Gai is Sun Shao's opponent.But when the two teamed up, Sun Shao couldn't help but struggle.Even if he was born with supernatural powers and got the true biography of the Majia gun, his age still matters.Wang Ping and Xu Gai are not weak players, and they are only inferior to Sun Shao when they fight alone.

The two teamed up, and Sun Shao gradually couldn't resist.

After more than a dozen rounds, Xu Gai saw an opening and knocked Sun Shao down with one blow.

"Not fair, not fair..."

Cao Wan shouted loudly, "The two of you join hands, it is not a hero to win. Brother Xiao Shao, fight them again...Xiao Wei, Jiu Jin, you two go to help, and you will definitely win them both."

Jiang Wei and Cao Yang were eager to try.

Jiang Wei is nine years old this year, slightly older than Cao Yang.

However, Cao Yang has a good foundation, and Hua Tuo soaked it with potions, plus he has been connected with Wu Qin Xi and Baihu Qichang since he was a child, this foundation is very solid.He was only eight years old, but an ordinary child of thirteen or fourteen was no longer his match.He inherited Cao Peng's genes and looked about ten years old.One-handed Baiyuantongbei fist and Tiangang marksmanship made it superb.More importantly, he also got the legends of Pang De, Gan Ning, Dian Wei and Huang Zhong.

However, Cao Yangzi was a little restrained and looked a little shy.

He listened to Cao Wan's words the most, and immediately walked to the weapon rack, and picked up a white wax pole with a length of one foot and two feet.

Jiang Wei also stepped forward to pick up one and stood shoulder to shoulder with Cao Yang.

Xu Gai frowned when he saw it.

These two boys are no easier to deal with than Sun Shao.Although the martial arts are not as good as Sun Shao's, they are superior because the two grew up together and cooperated with each other tacitly.More importantly, both of them are not weak in martial arts. If they really want to fight, adding Sun Shao will be a little troublesome.Xu Gai had seen Jiang Wei and Cao Yang fighting outside before.Neither of these two people is ostentatious, but that Cao Wan is very aggressive.

Back then in Xudu, there were many fights, Xu Gai also saw it with his own eyes...

At this moment, a cough was heard suddenly.

Cao Peng came out from the dark and walked slowly into the arena.

"It's Chinese New Year, you don't have a good time playing, but what kind of martial arts are you competing here?
Shi Zai, take everyone down... Wan'er hurry back, your mother was looking for you just now, don't make her anxious. "

The appearance of Cao Peng made the children calm down immediately.

Even though he is usually very gentle, but he has been in the top position for a long time, and a single order can make thousands of heads fall to the ground, and the blood will be scattered on the poles. That kind of bearing is not something that a group of children can resist.Even Cao Wan quickly agreed and dragged Cao Yang and Jiang Wei away.

"Xiao Shao stay, Shizai, you all go back."

"Here!"

Deng Ai and others did not dare to refuse, so they hurriedly intervened and left as ordered.

Sun Shao stood aside, pursed his lips, lowered his head, exuding a stubborn air.

Cao Peng stepped forward, reaching out his hand to help him brush off the dust on his clothes, but he saw Sun Shao instinctively turned to one side and hid.

"Aggrieved?"

"no!"

"What are you doing with your neck stuck?"

"..."

Sun Shao protested silently.

Cao Peng laughed and patted Sun Shao on the shoulder.

"Sit down with me and talk... I remember that we haven't had a good talk since you came to me."

After Cao Peng finished speaking, he went to a bench on the sidelines and got off.

This bench was specially made by him, and there was a big umbrella standing behind it.Sun Shao hesitated for a moment, came over and sat down beside Cao Peng.The two stood side by side, looking at the empty school grounds, silent.

After a long time, Cao Peng suddenly said: "If I remember correctly, you and Shi Zai are the same age."

"Ok!"

"So up to now, is there a sign?"

"Uh……"

"If you want, I'll give you one.

You are the eldest son of the Sun family, if you are called Bowen, what do you think? "

Grandchildren?

This title is inevitably a bit far away.

In Jiangdong, there may not be many people anymore, remember him as the eldest son.People say that the eldest son of the grandson must think of Sun Deng who was born last year, not his Sun Shao.Bo, is a pronoun that can only be obtained from the descendant.But in Jiangdong, when people talk about his son's birth, Sun Quan must be the first thing that comes to mind.

Sun Shao's eyes turned red, and he hurriedly got up and said, "Thank you, Teacher, for giving me the words."

"sit down!"

Cao Peng patted the bench and suddenly let out a long sigh.

"Bowen, do you have any impression of your father?"

"kindness?"

Sun Shao was taken aback, and after hesitating for a while, shook his head.

When he was born, Sun Ce was busy with the war and hardly stayed at home.When his mother gave birth to him, she died of dystocia, but Sun Ce was not by her side.Later, Sun Ce doted on Da Qiao and didn't pay much attention to him.When Sun Shao started to really remember things, Sun Ce had already passed away. He only had an extremely vague memory and the news he learned from him.As for Sun Shao himself, to be honest, he doesn't have a deep impression of Sun Ce.

"The first time I met your father, it was your first birthday.

He is a very heroic and heroic person... At that time, I thought that being a human being should be like a bully.But later, I changed my mind.Especially hearing the news of your father's death.

Bowen, do you know what I think of your father? "

Sun Shao was startled, and looked at Cao Peng in surprise.

Cao Peng smiled and said softly: "Bo Fu is extremely brave and has the air of an overlord.

However, there is only one overlord in this world, and Bo Fu can only be a little overlord forever, but cannot become a real overlord.Does Bowen know what is the most important thing to be the Overlord?
It's not how powerful you are, nor how resourceful you are, but the responsibility...

Your father is just a reckless man with no sense of responsibility. "

"You bullshit!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Shao stood up with an angry face.

"My father is a hero of today, definitely not what you said."

"Hero? What is a hero?"

Hearing this, Cao Peng laughed loudly, "Kill a few people, seize a few cities, and become a prince, is that a hero? If so, there are too many heroes in this world. Whether it's an overlord or a hero, there is only one Responsibility. The King of Wei and even Liu Bei can be called heroes, even Yuan Shao and Liu Biao are considered heroes. Only your father is not a real hero because he has no sense of responsibility."

"When I say this, you may feel displeased and displeased.

But what I said is the truth... As a hero, you should have the world in your heart.Bofu was the lord of Jiangdong at that time, and he was in charge of Jiangdong's safety.But he thought he was the champion of the three armies, and he went to Chaisang alone, only to be ambushed by Xu Gong's retainers and died.He is not self-respecting... How can a person who is not self-respecting be considered a hero?A real man was born in this world, holding a three-foot green spear, fighting for no achievements in the world, and his abilities are normal.But the problem is, at that time, your father was no longer just a person, but the fate of the entire Jiangdong.

Speaking from the big picture, it was precisely because of his lack of self-respect and recklessness that Jiang Dong fell into crisis.

But since he was a child, he has his mother and his wife and children.

He is obviously a prince of one side, but he wants to show off the bravery of that man... You can say that he is confident, but I think he is not self-respecting.He is the Lord of Jiangdong, your father, your mother's husband, and your grandmother's son, but he doesn't love himself.This is irresponsibility, and definitely not the work of a true hero. "

Sun Shao, be silent!

He really didn't know much about Sun Ce.

What I heard was nothing more than how brave Sun Ce was back then, how he bravely won the three armies...

But Cao Peng's argument, he has never heard.Since he was a child, he used his father as his idol, but at this moment, he found that his idol seemed to be shattered.

"Why did I hit you today, you know?"

"I……"

"You didn't keep your promises!

I also know that it was your mother who asked you to leave... But how did you promise me when you went out?

I want you to take good care of your mother, your aunt...

If you don't agree, I won't say anything.But you agreed, this is your responsibility!No matter how boring the process is, how much you don't like it.But you didn't do what you promised!
Just like back then, your father vowed to restore the Sun family lintel.

But the result?

He has no self-respect, no self-love, his body is dead and his soul is gone, but he left you orphans and widows, living a desolate life.Your second uncle is in charge of Jiangdong, he is wary of you and oppresses you in every possible way.In the end, you had to leave your hometown, isn't it because your father didn't fulfill his responsibilities?Have you ever thought about this? "

Sun Shao lowered his head and did not speak again.

Cao Peng sighed and stood up, "Bowen, do you have ideals?"

"I, I want to take back my father's inheritance one day."

"What is your father's inheritance?"

"Jiangdong!"

"But let me ask you, it's been ten years, how many people are there in Jiangdong, remember your father?"

Cao Peng said softly: "Even your uncle is unwilling to help you and relieve your troubles. How many people do you think will obey your orders in the future? Bowen, you are not the same as me. , instead of aiming for a goal that you cannot achieve, it is better to think about more practical things...

For example, how to make yourself stronger, how to make your mother and sister live a better life.

Now Jiang Dong is the grandson of Sun Quan, not the grandson of Sun Ce.

You still have to think carefully about how to fulfill your responsibilities as a good son and make your mother happy. "

After Cao Peng finished speaking, he would not repeat it.

He patted Sun Ce on the shoulder, turned and left.

Unbeknownst to them, Mrs. Qiao and Sun Shangxiang were standing in a corner of the school field in a daze.

He looked at Cao Peng's back, and then at Sun Shao who was in a daze.Mrs. Qiao's eyes were red, and she bit her red lips lightly with her white teeth. After a long time, she sighed and pulled Sun Shangxiang to turn around and leave.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +
The first day of the first lunar month is destined to be a restless night.

Huan Lang led his men to the county's dignitaries, but Bu Zhi directly beat him out.

"This step is so rude!"

Huanqiu couldn't help cursing, and said to his father, Huanlang: "Father, Buzishan is so rude, it's obvious that he doesn't take you seriously. If he does this, how will we gain a foothold in Yecheng in the future?"

Unexpectedly, Huan Lang just slapped his backhand.

"It's you, the bastard, who caused the disaster. Why bother with that Cao Yan Wang?"

Huanqiu grows so big, and he has never been beaten like this before, and he suddenly had an attack...

"It's not that you are incapable, you are afraid of that Cao Peng, but you come to me to vent your anger.

If you have the guts to find out about Cao Peng, why take your anger out on me?Besides, I didn't know it was Cao Peng's family members, even if the words were a little offensive, why is it so?Cao Peng is so domineering, but you dare not stand out, you only dare to do your best at home... I don't care, I won't apologize to him.If you are afraid of him, I will go to my aunt to make the decision!I don't believe that no one can cure Cao Peng. "

Huanqiu said, and rushed out of the house.

Huan Lang opened his mouth, wanting to stop him, but swallowed the words back.

What Huanqiu said was rude, but it was not without reason.

That's right, you, Cao Peng, are powerful and awesome, but you're also a little too domineering... It's okay to beat my people, and arrest them.After all, I am also General Zuo Zhonglang, Madam Huan's clan brother, but you rely on your status as a member of the Cao clan and don't take me seriously. You are really deceiving me too much.

Do you want me to take my son to the door to apologize?

don't even think about it...

No, if I can't let it out, how will I gain a foothold in Ye City in the future?

However, considering Cao Peng's fierce reputation, Huan Lang still had some palpitations.He thought about it again, aren't you insane?Then let Mrs. Xiao Qiuxun talk and see what you can do to me.I don't believe it, even my wife can't cure you?
To be honest, Mrs. Huan didn't want to interfere in this matter.

It took a lot of thought to find such a position as Zuo Zhonglang for Huan Lang.If she hadn't felt alone and alone, and the Jingxiang family had defected one after another, making Mrs. Huan feel the inexplicable pressure, she would not have promoted Huan Lang to such a position.It is also because Cao Cao is weak, and he seems to be easier to speak than he was back then.But even so, Mrs. Huan still felt tremendous pressure.

Everything is for the future of Cangshu!

Now, Cao Chong has been sent out from Yingchuan Academy, worshiped Dongxiang Hou, fake Pinglu General, Nanzhong Lang General, and was valued by Cao Cao.

In the battle of Xiongnu River, Cao Chong participated in the army, accompanied him in the battle, beheaded ten people, and achieved a good record.

However, Cao Zhang has worshiped General Zhonglang of Five Senses, General Zhenbei, and Marquis Qiao, and has a high prestige in the army.In this way, Mrs. Huan was extremely worried about whether Cao Chong could win against Cao Zhang.More importantly, as Cao Zhang's qualifications became more and more advanced, many cronies had gathered around him.In the past, Yuan Shao's surrendered generals, such as Zhang He and others, were very close to Cao Zhang. Qianzhao, Jiang Yiqu, and Guan Cheng also surrendered to Cao Zhang.

Last year, Cao Zhang invited Xu You, who had long since retired, as a counselor, and even worshiped Xun Yue as his teacher, and got the help of the Xun family.Cao Zhang's team is also constantly expanding, far from being comparable to Cao Chong.

At the same time, Cao Zhi also gradually emerged, and was valued by Cao Cao by virtue of his extraordinary literary talent.

Cao Chong's opponents are getting stronger and stronger, which makes Mrs. Huan firm in her determination to recruit helpers for Cao Chong.If not, she would definitely not let Huan Lang be the general of Zuo Zhong Lang.It's just that he didn't expect that on the first day of the first lunar month, Huan Lang would get into trouble with Cao Peng.Mrs. Huan had already received the news, and she was extremely dissatisfied.

She felt that Cao Peng was too crazy!
That's right, the king favors you.

Your credit is high and your reputation is famous, but you can't be so defiant.

Huanqiu found Mrs. Huan and made a fuss, which made Mrs. Huan feel depressed.

"Cang Shu, what do you think should be done about this matter?"

Cao Chong took a sip of wine, pondered for a long time, and said softly: "Young Huanqiu doesn't care about anything, it's best for the queen mother not to get involved. Cao Peng is now in full swing. He Huanqiu has provoked Cao Peng, and he deserves to be unlucky.

Mother, don't forget that Cao Peng values ​​his family the most.

At the beginning, when Fu Jun learned from the past, he, Cao Peng, dared to kill him even after Fu Jun, so how could he be afraid of Huan Lang?We can't come forward about this matter.As long as you show up, not to mention being swept away, you are more likely to cause trouble. "

Cao Chong is now fifteen.

After hearing this, Mrs. Huan couldn't help saying softly: "Cang Shu, but that is your uncle after all."

"There is not enough success, and there is more than failure, so what's the use of keeping it?"

Cao Chong's indifferent sentence did make Mrs. Huan's heart tremble for no reason.

Cao Cao once said that Cao Chong is cool and thin.I didn't think it was anything before, but today I saw it, and it really is.

However, if there is no such cruelty, how can you do great things?
Mrs. Huan immediately felt relieved when she thought of this.

"It's just that this matter can't let Cao Peng succeed."

"how do I say this?"

"Anyway, Huan Lang is also a member of his mother's clan. If he really interferes, it may chill the hearts of the clan. Moreover, from the perspective of others, his mother doesn't even care about her own family. How can she work with peace of mind?

Therefore, the mother wants to take care of it, but she can't intervene. "

The child is indeed growing up!
From these words, it can be seen that Cao Chong's mind has matured.

It's just that it has to be managed, but can't interfere, so what does it mean?

Mrs. Huan looked at Cao Chong suspiciously, but Cao Chong smiled, came to her side, and whispered something in her ear.

"This matter, mother must not show up.

Tomorrow morning, Hai'er will go to Wuxiang Hou's Mansion to pay a visit... No matter what, Cao Peng always has a teacher-student friendship with Hai'er.When something like this happened, the boy should come forward to comfort Mr., mother thought what the boy said was right? "

A smile flashed across Mrs. Huan's face.

"My son, it makes sense!"
