Cao Thief

Chapter 94
In late spring, the night breeze is gentle.

There is a peach and apricot fragrance in the air, which makes people feel refreshed.

Dian Wei and Cao Peng strolled in the third courtyard, admiring the spring scenery of the garden.This is the front garden of Huben Mansion, the area is not too big, about [-] square meters.In the garden, there is a small pavilion.Peach and apricot trees are planted around, and the garden is full of flowers.

"Ah Fu, I am back this time, something is not good."

Dian Wei sat down in the gazebo, picked up the jug, took a sip of the wine, and took a deep breath.

Under the shade of the trees, in the sea of ​​flowers, a small road leads to the back house.In fact, this mansion, which was renamed Huben Mansion, can only be regarded as entering the central hall when entering the fourth courtyard.

However, due to the small size of the Dian family, the next few houses were almost vacant.

Dian Wei has an older brother named Dian Qian, who lives in his hometown because he is not good at walking, and has no children under his knees.Dianwei has four sons, the eldest son Dianman, who is 15 years old, has just been worshiped as a doctor by Cao Cao.The second son, Diancun, is only six years old; the third son, Dianfu, and the fourth son, Dianyou, are still in their infancy.In addition, Dianwei also has a nephew named Niu Gang, who is about the same age as Dianman. It is said that he has infinite strength and the courage to overlord.Besides, there was no one else in Dianwei's family. Counting on his fingers, there were fourteen people including his wife's family.

If it is the same as the clan of thousands of people behind Xu Chu, Dian Wei's family is really nothing.

Cao Peng changed into a thin suit and sat in the pavilion, listening quietly.

"Uncle, what's wrong? Could it be that Mr. Cao suspects you?"

Dian Wei laughed loudly, "How is that possible? My lord still trusts me, but...do you still remember the person who greeted us outside the city today? That guy's name is Xu Chu, his name is Zhongkang, and he is from Qiao County. He was very brave and good at fighting, so he was praised by the lord as a tiger idiot. He once told others that Xu Chu is the current Fan Kuai. Before, the lord thought I was dead, so he let Xu Chu take over as the guard... But now I am back, Xu Zhongkang It seems very embarrassing. The lord has no choice but to make me a general of Huben Zhong."

I thought Dian Wei was not clear, but now it seems that this guy understands very well.

"Isn't that nice?"

Cao Peng pretended to be puzzled and asked suspiciously.

"Okay?" Dian Wei smiled wryly and shook his head, "Xu Chu's situation is different from mine. He has the support of the clan behind him, and the power is tyrannical. Don't look at him as rough, but he is very delicate. He was suppressed by me before, that's because of his seniority." Not enough... Now, he may not obey me. Even if Xu Zhongkang obeys me, the family behind him will definitely not let it go. Since Xu Chu defected to the lord, he is known for his boldness, so he has deep friendship with many people... In this On one point, I am indeed smarter than Xu Chu."

Cao Peng fell silent!
Dian Wei is asking himself a trick?

Just when he was wondering, he heard Dian Wei say: "Ah Fu, what I begged you for is actually very simple. My son's temperament is similar to mine, and sometimes he is very irritable. He is young and energetic, and I am worried that someone will treat him Start... I want to ask you to take care of him for me."

"How to take care of?"

"In the past few days, Xudu will not be peaceful. After Aman comes back, I'm afraid he will be instigated by others and cause trouble."

"Not calm?"

Dian Wei nodded, raised his head and drank all the wine in the jug.

"Do you think that Xu Chu is really willing to be my helper? My lord ordered me to reorganize the Huben Army. He or the people behind him will never let me do anything. That guy may not do anything openly, but secretly I use tricks, but it's easy."

"how do I say this?"

Dian Wei said softly: "Xu Chu has close contacts with the big families in Yingchuan.

The Xun family, the Chen family, and even the Zhong family all had a deep friendship with him.And I am in Xudu, there is no one to turn to for help except the lord. "

"Is it Cao Gong's intention to reorganize Huben?"

Dian Wei was startled, and nodded.

Cao Peng laughed and said, "Then what are you afraid of? With the support of the lord, it is enough! Although Xu Chu has the Yingchuan family behind him, Uncle Dian, you can also win over allies."

"Me?" Dian Wei shook his head again and again, "That's absolutely impossible. My lord trusts me because I've never been a clique. If I change, it will definitely affect my lord's trust in me. Ah Fu, you don't have to worry about me. Although Xu Zhongkang is powerful, I am not afraid."

"I don't want you to be a friend, but I want you to recruit Huben through the lord."

"Through the lord's call?"

Cao Peng said with a smile: "Mr. Cao's family has many people who are used to fighting. Not to mention that General Cao Ren and Cao Hong have many elite soldiers, even the two generals Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan also have countless capable people. His people are the main ones; but if you want to suppress him, Uncle Dian, you must start with the people around Duke Cao. Conscript the best soldiers from Yuzhou and choose Huben from them. Even if Xu Chu has the support of the Yingchuan family behind him, so what? And, you You can also use this opportunity to recruit troops and horses, and take the opportunity to get closer to Cao Gong's people.

I don't think Mr. Cao will suspect that you have selfish intentions, and maybe he will thank you for it..."

After hearing this, Dian Wei pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly.

"However, I'm still worried about Dianman's accident. When he comes back, I want you to take care of him. How about it?"

Cao Peng stared wide-eyed, "Shall I take care of him?"

It hasn't been long since I came to Xudu, but Cao Peng has also heard some things about Young Master Dian.

That's a hot-tempered, aggressive master.

If I offend this guy, wouldn't I be making trouble for myself?

But the problem is, when Dian Wei proposed it, it was difficult for Cao Peng to refuse.After hesitating for a moment, he said softly, "Since my uncle thinks highly of me, I will do my best."

"That's good, that's good!"

Seeing that Cao Peng agreed, Dian Wei couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.

"By the way, I plan to live in Wubao with my father, is that possible?"

Dian Wei didn't answer, but asked instead: "Ah Fu, tell me honestly, your father... Brother Cao, can he really make knives?"

Cao Peng smiled, "My father has a secret method passed down from his ancestors, and he has never dared to reveal it because he is afraid of people's jealousy.

Don't worry, Uncle Dian, my father can not only make knives, but also make good knives... However, to make good knives, Uncle Dian is needed, please cooperate. "

"That's no problem!" Dian Wei assured, patting his chest.When Cao Ji mentioned the matter of making knives to him, Dian Wei still didn't quite believe it.But now, hearing Cao Peng say the same thing, he immediately felt relieved.reason?Dian Wei couldn't tell either.Anyway, he was willing to trust Cao Peng, "What do you want me to do? In fact, if Brother Cao can really make a good knife, there will be no problem."

"No, it's easy to make a knife, but it's hard to become famous!"

"What do you mean?"

"I want my father to enter the Zhuye Prison, but due to lack of reputation, even if he goes in, it is rare for Cao Gong to value him... Even if you recommend Uncle Dian to Cao Gong, I guess the effect will not be too great. Since So, I want to take this opportunity of making knives to make my father famous.

The matter of making knives is handled by my father.

But I would also like to ask my uncle to help me with some off-site matters... If this can be done, my uncle can also make great contributions in front of Duke Cao. "

Dian Wei's eyes lit up, "How?"

Cao Peng stood up and whispered in Dianwei's ear.

"Tomorrow, you will be like this..."

Dian Wei first frowned, and gradually, a smile appeared on his face.

He narrowed his eyes and nodded slightly.After a long time, Dian Wei suddenly laughed, "Ah Fu, your idea is really brilliant."

Cao Peng Shi Shiran sat back with a bright smile on his face.

Isn't it just to make Dad famous all over the world... What's so difficult about it.Although he didn't study advertising in his previous life, he remembered the overwhelming hype by heart.Haven't eaten mutton, haven't you seen a goat running around?The hype techniques of later generations are also common in this era.

At the same time, in the lobby of Che Qi Mansion.

Cao Cao was lying on his side on the couch, with his red phoenix eyes half-closed, listening to the reports of his subordinates.

"The group of people who came with Dian Zhonglang sounded like people from Nanyang County, but not from Wancheng. When Dian Zhonglang was having a banquet in the mansion, they went to Dian Zhonglang's house. Afterwards, several people drove out. , in a merchant in the west gate of the city, I exchanged two ingots of gold cakes, a total of more than 720 guan... There is no problem with that merchant. The gold cake weighs about nine catties, so it's not a big problem, it's a gold cake circulating in the market."

"That is to say, there is nothing wrong with this family?"

"It shouldn't be a serious problem... There are three families of these people. Among them, the lord's family name is the main one, and the parent's name is Cao Ji, who is said to be a blacksmith. There is a son named Cao Peng, who is very intelligent... In addition, his son-in-law Deng Ji , is from Deng Village, Jiyang County. He was originally a small official in Jiyang County. According to Man Boning, this person is very talented. In addition, there are two fathers and sons, surnamed Wang, who are neighbors of the Cao family. But I heard that, The father and son surnamed Wang seem to be capable, and there are more than a dozen entourages under them."

"The entourage? A blacksmith's neighbor, where did the entourage come from?"

"Man Boning's people said that Wang Meng was originally a bandit in Nanyang County, but he quit. This time, somehow, he joined those bandits again and followed Dian Zhonglang to Xudu."

Cao Cao twirled his beard lightly with his fingers, and after pondering for a long time, he said, "Immediately send someone to Jiyang to inquire about the origins of these people."

"Then is there still a reward for the Cao family?"

Cao Cao thought for a while, then smiled and said, "Why not? Send people over tomorrow and give them a hundred pieces of gold, thirty pieces of brocade and silk, and three hundred pieces of millet. Whether it's true or not, they finally saved Jun Ming. I With Junming, I can sleep soundly at night from now on, and I won't be alert anymore."

"That Dian Zhonglang..."

Cao Cao waved his hands and smiled, "You don't need to check with Jun Ming.

I know that Jun Ming will definitely not do such a thing against the Lord... But between him and Zhongkang, there will be a battle between him and Zhongkang. "

"Here!"

Cao Cao waved his hand to signal the man to go down.

He sat up from the bed, picked up a volume of books, and read by candlelight.

After a while, Cao Cao put down his book again, stood up, and walked slowly to the door.

As the night was dark, he twirled his beard with his hands, as if he said to himself: "Jun Ming, if you don't betray me, I definitely won't betray you..."
