Cao Thief

Chapter 92
In mid-February of the second year of Jian'an, bandits abused Lang Ling.

The prefect Man Chong personally led his troops to quell the bandits and make Runan peaceful.However, almost at the same time, Cao Cao, the governor of the western part of Runan County, was passing through Langling, and found that Langling grew up as Yao, and he secretly colluded with the bandits.Deng Ji, the governor of the west, beheaded Cheng Yao, the mausoleum chief of Lang, and found several letters between Cheng Yao and Huang Zu, the prefect of Jiangxia, from the county government.Runan prefect Man Chong heard the news and immediately ordered people to rush to Xudu to report.

At the same time, Deng Ji, the governor of the west, will be the head of Langling to govern the place, waiting for Xu Du's reply!
Who is Deng Ji?

Almost no one knows.

This person seemed to have popped out of nowhere from a crack in the rock.Anyway, Man Chong, the prefect of Runan, trusted him very much.

At the same time, Cao Hong, who was far away in Ye County, Nanyang County, received a letter from Man Chong.

After reading the letter, Cao Hong couldn't help laughing out loud, and said to his left and right: "Bo Ning has already made up his mind, and if there are any Langling sent from now on, we will never see him again."

At the beginning of March in the second year of Jian'an, Xu Du sent envoys to Pingyu.

In the letter, Cao Cao praised Manchong for his decisiveness in dealing with affairs, and appointed the former Runan prefect, minister, and military commander to offer sacrifices to Xun You's eldest son Xun Ji as the head of Lang Ling, responsible for taking over Lang Ling.Later, when Xun Ji arrived in Langling, he found that everything in Langling was operating normally and in good order.After interrogation, I found out that before Xun Ji arrived, Langling had been governed by Deng Ji, the governor of western Runan.

Therefore, Xun Ji immediately went to Pingyu, wanting to pay a visit to the Western Governor Cao Cao.

The answer that I didn't expect to get from Man Chong was: Cao Cao and Deng Ji, the governor of the west, returned to Xudu long before the Xudu envoys arrived.

"This Duyou Deng, is he from Xudu?"

Full of pets, smile without answering.

Xun Ji was a little disappointed, but at the same time a little puzzled.

So he ordered people to inquire about the Runan prefect's mansion, and found out that no one in the prefect's mansion knew this mysterious Deng Ji.

It is said that since Zi Manchong took office, he has never appointed the postal governor of the west, Cao Cao.

So who is this mysterious man named Deng Ji?
Full of doubts, Xun Ji returned to Langling, and immediately sent a letter to Xudu, asking his father Xun You to inquire about this person.

However, after the letter, Xun Ji faced a series of changes.

He didn't even have time to check the file, otherwise, Xun Ji might find that the file in Langling County was missing a full eleven days.

And these eleven days are also the eleven days when Cheng Yao set up checkpoints privately...

In June of the second year of Jian'an, Liu Biao ordered General Deng Ji to leave Nanyang County and arrive at Langling.Xun Ji rushed to the battle and was killed by Deng Ji!
The missing eleven-day dossier also disappeared in the vast history of history.

--------------------------------

The news that Lang Lingchang was killed did not attract too many people's attention.

Because at this time, everyone's attention was focused on the Wumeng Captain Dianwei who came back from the dead and returned home after a long journey.

A full month has passed since the defeat of Wancheng.

During this month, Cao Cao sent people to inquire about Dian Wei's news several times, trying to find Dian Wei's body, but there was no clue.Even Zhang Xiu in Wancheng didn't know if Dian Wei was dead.Anyway, when Cao Cao said that Dian Wei hadn't come back, he was naturally happy to declare that Dian Wei was dead.For this reason, Cao Cao was extremely sad!Bury Dian Wei's clothes, go there in person, and cry bitterly in front of the spirit.

In mid-February, Cao Cao worshiped Dianman, Dianwei's eldest son, as a doctor, and arranged for Dianman to live in his home.After the first seven days, he ordered Dian Man to help Dian Wei to go back to Chen Liu's hometown.Not long after Dianman left, it is estimated that Dianwei came back before he left Yuzhou!

So much so that when Cao Cao got the letter from Man Chong, he wept with joy...

"Ah Fu, Xu Du is ahead!"

Dianwei Lema pointed straight ahead, with excitement in his words.

At this time, it is dawn.A fish-belly light just floated in the sky, and it was hazy, and only the outline of a city appeared in the distance.

That is Xu Du!

After coming out of Heilujian, the journey went smoothly.

Yingchuan's rule is relatively good, and it didn't take too much time to go all the way.

After driving all night, I finally arrived at Xudu.Cao Peng could understand the excitement in Dian Wei's heart, for Dian Wei, Xudu was his home.But for Cao Peng, looking at the outline of the distant city, he couldn't be happy.There is a trace of confusion in my heart, I can't explain clearly, I don't understand the way, it seems like I am dreaming.Xu Du was right in front of him, what he was looking forward to so much was this day.

But when he really came to the city of Xudu, he felt inexplicable anxiety.

"Uncle Dian, let's go."

Cao Peng's voice was strange, but Dian Wei didn't hear it.

"Yes, let's go there quickly!"

Cars and horses rumbled along, seeing that the distance to Xu Du was getting closer and closer.

In the morning light, an ancient and majestic city appeared in Cao Peng's eyes.The tall, majestic, winding and undulating ancient city walls stand silently in the morning breeze.That is the outer city wall of Xudu.According to Dian Wei, Xudu is divided into inner and outer cities, the inner city is the imperial city, and the outer city is like a hill, surrounding the inner city... Cao Peng visited the ruins of Xudu in his previous life, but what he saw were only ruins.

To be honest, if it wasn't for Dian Wei, Cao Peng really couldn't connect the ruins with the majestic city in front of him.

Travel through 800 years and walk in the age of the ancients!
This sounds romantic, but it always makes people feel that it is not true.

Taking a deep breath, Cao Peng urged his horse and caught up with Dian Wei...

Woo-woo-woo-
The sobbing trombone shattered the silence of dawn.

In the distance, the city gate of Xu Capital was opened wide, and a group of people and horses rushed out of the city.

Those people came very quickly, like a black torrent, they arrived in front of Cao Peng in the blink of an eye.

The leader is a majestic and burly man with a black black horse under his crotch. When he jumps off the horse, he is eight feet long and his waist is ten girth.With a bronze-colored face and a striking mole on his forehead, it looks rather strange.In ancient times, if some people looked weird and ugly, they generally wouldn't use the word 'ugly' to describe them.Most of the time, they would use such strange terms as Xiongyi and Guoyi to explain the person's appearance, which was unusual.This is both a custom and a ritual.For example, when describing Dian Wei in Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, he only said that he had a determined appearance.It sounds beautiful, but when you see a real person, you will know what "Guo Yi" is.

This burly man is also very 'resolute'.

"Jun Ming, is it really you?"

The big man reined in his horse, and the black torrent behind him immediately stopped.

He was on the horse, staring at Dian Wei intently, his tone seemed particularly excited.

And Dian Wei even jumped off his horse, took a few steps quickly, and laughed loudly: "Zhongkang, Xu Huhu... Hahaha, I, Dianwei, are back again!"

"I just said, little Zhangxiu, how can I ruin your life, which is a scourge."

The burly man also got off his horse, took a few quick steps, and immediately hugged Dian Wei Peng.

He is slightly lower than Dian Wei, and his figure is stronger and burly than Dian Wei.

As early as the moment Dian Wei spoke, Cao Peng silently backed away a few steps and made room for him.At the same time, he whispered in his heart: Could this guy be that tiger idiot Xu Chu?

Cao Peng can't remember Xu Chu's name clearly.

There seems to be a 'Zhong' or something.However, he knew that Xu Huhu was Dian Wei's unique name for Xu Chu. Seeing Xu Chu and Dian Wei embracing each other, Cao Peng couldn't help but shiver.Such two burly men hugged so tight in broad daylight, how many people would be disgusted if they lived in later generations... At the same time, Cao Peng felt that the enthusiasm shown by Xu Chu was a bit fake!
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Xu Chu is a loyal brother with high military strength.

Anyway, at that time, many people thought that if Dian Wei was still alive, he should look like Xu Chu.So much so that some people later said that Xu Chu in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms was completely a character outlined by the naked god (that is, Luo Guanzhong) according to Dian Wei's character.

This is not to say that Xu Chu is a fiction, because in history, Xu Chu was finally honored as General of Wuwei, Marquis of Mou Xiang, and his posthumous title was Zhuanghou.

The so-called outline actually means that the image of Xu Chu in the novel does not match the history.

Xu Chu, are you really that happy?

Anyway, Cao Peng doesn't think so... Xu Chu is from Qiao County, so he is from the same town as Cao Cao.Unlike Dian Wei, he came from a powerful family.According to historical records, Xu Chu's clan has as many as a thousand people. In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, it is definitely a big family that cannot be underestimated.He was attached to Cao Cao in the first year of Jian'an, and was praised by Cao Cao as "My Fan Kuai", worshiped as the captain, and joined the Dianwei Suwei in the middle army.

Only because of Dian Wei's existence, Xu Chu has been suppressed.

Dian Wei is dead, he is No. 1 in the Suwei Central Army, a well-deserved confidant.Now that Dian Wei is back, his No. 1 position as the guard can no longer be maintained...Anyway, if this kind of thing were to be placed on Cao Peng, even if he had no grudges, he would never be so enthusiastic.This is also why Cao Peng feels that Xu Chu is a bit hypocritical... As for what Xu Chu thinks?Cao Peng didn't know.

Similarly, Cao Peng could only think about it this way, and would not tell Dian Wei.

According to Dian Wei's personality, if he said these words, he might be scolded by Dian Wei, and even said that he was "judging the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain", thus alienating Cao Peng.This is not the result Cao Peng wants to see, so he can only pay attention to it silently.

"Jun Ming, the lord is here too!"

"what?"

Xu Chu took Dian Wei's arm, "Yesterday my lord received a letter from Man Cheng and learned that you are coming back today, so I was so happy that I didn't close my eyes all night.

No, he ordered me to come to greet you early in the morning, and he also said that he would meet you personally outside Xudu City. "

Mancheng is not Zhang Mancheng of the Yellow Turban Bandit, but Li Dian Li Mancheng of Yingyin Commander.Yesterday Dian Wei and his party passed by Yingyin, and Li Dian also came to greet them.But at that time Dian Wei was anxious to go back to Xudu, so he rejected Li Dian's kindness, led people around the city, and drove overnight.It must be that Li Dian sent someone to report to Xudu when he saw that Dianwei could not be greeted.Speaking of which, Li Dian is also a celebrity in the Three Kingdoms.

According to Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Li Dian was the first Cao Cao who defected with Le Jin.

But the real history is that Li Dian was only a county magistrate under Cao Cao at this time.Of course, Yingyin's status is different from other places, which also shows that Cao Cao attaches great importance to Li Dian.However, it was Li Dian's uncle named Li Gan who defected to Cao Cao the first time.Later, he died at the hands of Xue Lan, a general of Lu Bu's department, and Li Zheng, the son of Li Gan, controlled the department.Li Dian is just a member of the Li clan.

Li Gan?Li Zheng?
Cao Peng is really confused!
He also didn't know whether it was true in the original history.Anyway, in Cao Peng's memory, there is no impression of Li Qian and Li Zheng.

Dian Wei was very excited when he heard that Cao Cao was outside the city of Xudu.

He didn't bother to greet Cao Peng and the others, he took Xu Chu's arm and walked down to the city of Xudu.

Fortunately, Xu Chu's subordinates did not leave Cao Peng and others aside, but stepped forward to lead a group of chariots and galloped towards Xu Du.

Dawn, dawn.

A group of people lined up outside the city gate of Xu Capital, waiting quietly.

There was a man in a brocade robe, not tall, maybe less than 170 centimeters.He stood at the forefront, rubbing his hands together with an excited expression.

The complexion is a little dark, and the body is slightly bloated, making the limbs look a little short.

A long beard under the jaw, but it set off an extraordinary temperament... Dian Wei saw the man in the brocade robe, quickly let go of his hand, walked a few steps quickly, and knelt down in front of the man in the brocade robe like a golden mountain falling down like a jade pillar. "The last general, Dian Wei, has fulfilled my lord's great trust, please punish me, my lord!"

He is Cao Cao...
