Chapter 309 Yanjin Retreat (3) 1/2(1/2)
Back and back to normal***.
The number of words owed will be made up after the 20th.
————————————————————————
Tian Yu, named Guorang, was born in Yongnu, Yuyang, Youzhou (now Anci, Hebei). He was born in the fourth year of Jiangning, that is, 171 AD, and he was 28 years old.
In his early years, Liu Bei had defected to Gongsun Zan. Tian Yu was young at that time, so he recommended himself. History books record that he was "Liu Bei is very strange". Later, Tian Yu followed Liu Bei and went through Liu Bei's lowest stage, including Pingyuan Prime Minister, Gao Tang Ling, etc. Later Liu Bei
Tian Yu was appointed governor of Yuzhou, but Tian Yu left because his mother was old and needed to go home to support him. Liu Bei repeatedly tried to persuade him to stay, but finally he left in tears.
After returning to Youzhou, Gongsun Zan ordered Tian Yu to serve as the governor of Dongzhou.
At that time, Gongsun Zan's general Wang Men rebelled and led Yuan Shao's troops to attack with more than ten thousand troops. Everyone in Dongzhou wanted to surrender. However, Tian Yu did not agree. After he went to the city and scolded Wang Men, Wang Men retreated in shame. Gongsun Zan knew that Tian Yu had
However, due to the fact that Tian Yu came from the Yongnu family, he was always unwilling to reuse him. Until the Battle of Jieqiao and before Xia Houlan left Gongsun Zan, Tian Yu could only stay in a small county.
"So, Tian Yu is a capable person?"
Kan Ze said in surprise: "But how did he end up under the command of Lord Sikong Cao?"
"I'm not sure about this." Xiahoulan scratched his head and said with a wry smile: "Liu Bei borrowed troops from Gongsun and took two of them away.
One is my brother, and the other is Tian Guorang.
According to my brother, when Tian Guorang left, Liu Bei once held his hand and said: I wish I could achieve great things with you. Unfortunately, he has not been reused since he returned to Youzhou. So I don’t think much of him.
I know most of it through hearsay.”
Thinking about it, it seems normal.
At that time, Xia Houlan was just a young general among Gongsun Zan's white horse followers, so of course he couldn't come into contact with too many people.
Cao Peng is also very unfamiliar with the name Tian Yu, but he has heard Liu Bei call him "I wish I could accomplish great things with you", which shows that Tian Yu is not equally idle. You know, Liu Bei has a very good vision, no matter you
Whether you like him or not, you cannot deny that Liu Bei's judgment of people is even better than Zhuge Liang's. A famous example is Ma Di, who was beheaded by Zhuge Liang in tears due to the Battle of Jieting.
Liu Bei once said that Ma Di was not enough to take on the important task.
But Zhuge Liang disagreed and reused Ma Su when he finally came, which made Zhuge Liang's plan to send troops out of Qishan failed, and he had to kill him with tears in the end.
Similarly, Ma Zhong, another Shu general who made great contributions to Zhuge Liang's troops out of Qishan, was also praised by Liu Bei as "Although Huang Quan was lost, he regained Hu Du, and there are no sages in the world." This also fully shows that when looking at people,
There is a big gap between Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei on this issue.
What Cao Peng didn't know was that Tian Yu was indeed a very famous figure in history.
This man lived until the second year of Jiaping, that is, 252 AD, and became a Taizhong doctor at the age of eighty-two. He was a famous official of Cao Wei who was famous at that time.
However, this will not prevent Cao Peng from attaching great importance to Tian Yu.
"Ziyou!"
"Um?"
"In that case, you might as well have more contact with Tian Yu in the future."
"Here!"
Cao Peng knew that Tian Yu would not come to help him like Kan Ze did.
He has gone through Liu Bei, Gongsun Zan and Cao Cao, and now he is the counselor of Sikong Mansion. His position is extraordinary. It is indeed difficult for such a person to surrender to him. However, Cao Peng can get closer to him. Since
Xiahoulan and Tian Yu both served under Gongsun Zan, so they can have many common words. I believe that Tian Yu will not turn a blind eye to his good intentions.
Isn't there a saying in later generations: One more friend, one more path.
Cao Peng knew that he still had a long way to go under Mr. Cao. If he could get to know one more capable person, he would definitely be a great help in the future.
——————————————————————————
After a short rest, the team started again.
That night, Cao Peng arrived at Yingoudu Pavilion and saw a slightly dilapidated military camp from a distance. Under the setting sun, it looked a little lonely.
"Where are the troops?"
When Cao Peng and his troops were about to arrive at the barracks, more than a dozen soldiers rushed out from the forest on both sides and blocked Cao Peng's way.
"The new inspection captain Cao Peng has taken over the Duting camp in the name of Sikong. Who are you waiting for?"
Xia Houlan urged his horse over and shouted sharply.
"The new inspection captain?"
The leader was startled, then took a step forward and said: "I am the chief of Wu Sima's account in the Junyi Department. I dare to ask the new captain, but Cao Babai, the one who burned the white horse, is Cao Zhonghou?"
Such a small person actually knows himself?
Cao Peng urged him forward, "I am Cao Peng, why are you here? Are you trying to imitate bandits?"
The chief was startled and said quickly: "Captain, please don't misunderstand me. We are on duty here in the name of Wu Sima, and we do not intend to do anything like banditry."
"oh?"
Cao Peng narrowed his eyes and asked, "What's your name?"
"If I return to school as a lieutenant, my humble name will be Gao Yue, from Junyi.
Wu Sima said that although Du Pavilion is in the rear, it is not far from Yanjin and the location is very important. Therefore, he ordered us to set up two small camps in the woods on both sides and take turns to guard them. I was not notified, and the captain came.
To take over the Duting Pavilion, please ask the school captain to submit the military talisman waist badge. Only after verification can you pass."
When Gao Yue spoke, he was neither humble nor overbearing.
Cao Peng nodded slightly and turned to look at Kan Ze.
Kan Ze took out the captain's military talisman, waist badge, ultimatum and other items, stepped forward and handed it to Gao Yue.
"Please wait here, Captain. I will report to Sima."
Cao Peng didn't say anything and just nodded towards Gao Yue.
Gao Yue ran back, exchanged a few words with his men, then got on a skinny horse and galloped towards the camp.
Tian Yu suddenly said: "This Wu Ban is quite a talent."
"How can I see it?"
"The Duting camp does not have any tasks. It is like a mess. Wu Ban can still insist on setting up scouts and garrison troops. On the one hand, it shows that he is rigorous in running the army. On the other hand, this person may have seen Duting's
It’s important, so we set up checkpoints here.”
After Tian Yu said that, he closed his mouth.
But Cao Peng heard a different flavor from his words.
Tian Guorang, you underestimate me too much!
Cao Peng was a little unhappy: Wu Ban was loyal to his duties, how could I deliberately embarrass him because he set up checkpoints to intercept him?
At this moment, a group of cavalry, about twenty people, came galloping from the military camp in the distance.
The leader was a young general, about twenty years old, wearing a worn-out war robe that had lost its color, and a suit of armor. He was quite neatly dressed. He urged his horse to come to the front of the team, jumped off his horse and walked a few steps.
He said loudly: "Wu Ban, Sima of the Junyi Department, is here to greet Captain Cao.
Dare I ask, who is Captain Cao Pengcao?"
He subconsciously looked towards Xia Houlan, Gan Ning and others in the team.
Gao Yue quickly stepped forward and whispered something into Wu Ban's ear, and then pointed at Cao Peng.
Wu Ban was startled, and when he looked at Cao Peng, there was a hint of disappointment in his eyes, but it passed quickly and returned to a calm state.
"The last general, Wu Ban, pays homage to Captain Cao."
The disappointment in his eyes was noticed by Cao Peng.
Although he didn't understand why Wu Ban had such an expression, on the surface, Cao Peng still acted affectionately, dismounted and stepped forward.
"Wu Sima, well done!"
Wu Ban looked at Cao Peng in confusion, not quite understanding what Cao Peng meant.
"Although Du Pavilion is not Yanjin, Wu Sima still remained vigilant and set up checkpoints, obviously with great thought.
Cao Peng was young and it was his first visit to Duting. There were many things he didn't understand, so Wu Sima had to worry about them... However, these two small camps could only serve as checkpoints. If Yuan Jun attacked by surprise, it would be difficult to resist.
, so it needs to be further strengthened. Hao Zhao, Han De."
"The end will be here."
"You two immediately took over the checkpoint and moved ten miles east... I remember that there was a place called 'Xiaotan' ten miles east. You two set up a camp there to closely monitor the Yanjin war.
If there is anything unusual, report it to me immediately without making any mistakes."
"Here!"
Xiaotan is a water pool with a small area.
It is about twenty miles away from Zizao Daodu Pavilion and is also the only way to Daodu Pavilion.
Wu Ban's eyes flashed, and a faint smile suddenly appeared on his face. In fact, he also knew that the checkpoint he set up could only serve as a simple warning. If Yuan Jun attacked, relying on a checkpoint alone would be of no use at all. Previously.
