.Wei Yan has now reached the threshold of being a high official in the imperial court.

Thinking about it, it’s not easy.

At first he was a white man, and he followed and doted on his subordinates.

To be able to reach this point in just four years, one can imagine the hard work it took.

Deng Ji couldn't help but laugh when he mentioned Wei Yanlai...

Back then, they became Paoze for various reasons. At that time, Wei Yan was just a dubo, and he was a Jie Cong of Yiyang Tun. Now...

Deng Ji took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Time flies so fast!"

"Well, soon."

Cao Peng's eyes showed a confused look.

The two were silent for a long time, then suddenly burst into laughter.

With this smile, the estrangement in Deng Ji's heart seemed to disappear.

"It's night, I'll go back first."

"good!"

"Do you need anything? I will bring it to you when I come to see you tomorrow."

Cao Peng thought for a moment and picked up a book, "I've been reading Mr. Cai Yong's "Ling Ji" these days, and I have quite a lot of insights. Can you help me find the complete book "Dongguan Han Ji" and Mr. Cai's "Ling Ji"?

Works? Also, can you help me find "Suan Zao Ling Liu Xiong's Tablets", I want to copy it. These days, there has been no contact, and my hands are raw! If I go back and be evaluated by Yueying, I will definitely scold him."

Lingji is an article in "Dongguan Hanji".

Dongguan Hanji is a biographical history book that records a period of the history of Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty. It was named because it was compiled in Dongguan.

This book took several generations to compile.

At the beginning, Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty ordered Ban Gu, Chen Zong and others to compile the "Benji of Shizu". Later, Ban Gu and others compiled the deeds of meritorious officials, Pinglin, Xinshi and Gongsun Shu as biographies and records, a total of 28 chapters. This is also the story of Eastern Han Dynasty.

The initial period of Guan Han Ji; by the time of Emperor An, Liu Zhen, Li You and others continued to write chronicles, lists, famous officials, festivals and other chapters. From Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty to the first year of Yongchu, it was renamed "Han Ji"

.

Since then, Dongguan Hanji has gone through several continuations, and was discontinued by Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty.

Cai Yong, Yang Biao, Lu Zhi and others were the last batch of continuators, who wrote additional chronicles, chronicles, and dozens of biographies, extending until the death of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty...

Before the appearance of the Later Han Dynasty, Shiji, Hanshu and Dongguan Hanji, originally called the Three Histories, were read by many people.

In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, there was a scene like this: After Dong Zhuo died, Cai Yong cried for Dong Zhuo... Wang Yun and Cai Yong had always had a gap, so he took the opportunity to capture Cai Yong and wanted to kill him. Cai Yong said, you

You can kill me, but can you kill me after I finish compiling "Han Ji"? But Wang Yun did not agree, and still killed Cai Yong. As a result, many articles in the later period of "Han Ji" were also lost, leaving only

What has come down are only fragments of Ling Ji.

Cai Yong’s literary talent needs no elaboration.

Cao Peng has read Cai Yong's works these days and admires them very much.

At the same time, he was also quite curious about Dongguan Hanji, so he asked Deng Ji to look for it.

Deng Ji thought for a while, "I may not be able to find the whole book at once, but I will try my best... Don't worry, I am with my father at home."

Cao Peng smiled slightly and immediately changed the subject.

Late at night!

Cao Peng lay on the dry haystack and looked up at the sky through the small window.

But seeing the stars shining brightly and a Milky Way across the sky... Cao Peng bit a piece of withered grass in his mouth, thinking about what Deng Ji had said before.

Yes, we really need to find a way to solve it.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in my mind.

He seemed to have caught a clue.

Turning over and sitting up, Cao Peng leaned against the pink wall, clasping his hands under his chin, curling his legs and thinking silently.

After a moment, he suddenly said: "Ziyou!"

Xia Houlan was drowsily asleep. Hearing Cao Peng's call, he opened his eyes and sat up.

*** eyes opened, "Sir, are you still awake?"

"Where do you put the paper and ink that Xiaozhen brought last time?"

"Oh, I put it away."

Xia Houlan stood up, pulled out a package from the corner, and handed it to Cao Peng.

"Sir, what are you thinking about?"

Cao Peng smiled and said, "It's nothing, you can go to bed first."

He spread out the paper, then turned on the oil lamp, picked up the pen and sharpened the ink, and after thinking for a moment, he wrote quickly on the paper with a solemn expression...

April, the fifth year of Jian'an.

After Yuan Shao failed to dig a tunnel, he thought of another one.

He ordered the soldiers to gather together to form a hill, and ordered the archers to stand on the hill so that they could have a bird's eye view of Cao's army's camp.

Every day, archers were condescending and fired arrows at Cao's camp. Cao's army was suppressed by Yuan's army and suffered terribly. Even when they went out, they had to carry shields to block the arrows. For ten days, Cao's army suffered heavy casualties and its morale also showed a declining trend.

Cao Cao was helpless in the face of Yuan Shao's arrow attack. Although there were archers in the camp, Yuan's army occupied the high ground and could firmly suppress Cao's army.

At this time, Liu Ye led his troops to Guandu.

Seeing this situation, Liu Ye immediately came up with a plan.

"Attack with a catapult?"

Mr. Cao smiled bitterly and said: "Zi Yang, don't be ridiculous. Although the trebuchet is powerful, its range is far less than that of an arrow, so it can't get close at all."

Liu Ye said: "My lord, don't panic.

When Ye was in Xudu, he made improvements to the trebuchet in his free time. The throwing distance could be increased by thirty steps without losing any power.

Now that Yuan Shao has gathered his archers at a high place, he can use this improved trebuchet to attack... Some time ago, Ye had read some battle reports from Youxue when he was in Quyang, so he came up with a plan to use clay pots to carry tung oil.

, wrap something that can ignite the fire in the outer layer, and then throw it. Fill it into pieces and the tung oil will scatter. When it comes in contact with the fire, it can produce great power. Yuan Shao used his bow and arrow, why don't my lord respond with fire?"

When Cao Cao heard this, he was immediately overjoyed.

He ordered Liu Ye to serve as Sikong to participate in the military affairs, and the craftsmen in the concentration camp worked overnight to build catapults.

This improved catapult had a huge improvement in range and power. After thinking about it, Cao Cao changed the catapult to a thunderbolt vehicle.

Ten days later, more than 300 improved Pili vehicles were launched simultaneously.

The mountains in Yuan Jun's camp suddenly turned into a sea of ​​fire...

Cao Cao finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Yuan Jun's archers were useless.

That night, he held a banquet in the army to ask for credit for Liu Ye.

During the banquet, Mr. Cao asked seemingly unintentionally, "Zi Yang, Xu Du came here just now, but do you know what Cao Peng is doing in prison now?"

"I once heard General Zixiao say that Cao Peng was very calm after he was imprisoned.

A few days ago, Deng Shusun returned from Xuzhou and visited him several times. Later, he also searched for books and "Dongguan Han Ji"... I happened to have a few chapters in my hand, so I gave them to Jun Shi. On weekdays,

He just reads books and practices boxing.

It is said that he was still in prison training the Fei Qian guards who were in prison with him...

This kid has such a big heart. He got into such a big trouble and yet he didn't panic at all."

Mr. Cao smiled and said nothing, and did not answer Liu Ye's words.

That night, he found Guo Jia and Cheng Yu. After discussing official matters, he suddenly asked: "Zhongde, the case of General Fuguo has been delayed for a long time. Why has there been no result yet?"

Cheng Yu was startled and thought: If you don't say anything, who can make the decision?

But he thought so in his heart, but couldn't say it out loud.

So he laughed and said: "I think it is because the general of the auxiliary country has a special status, so it is not easy to judge."

"General Fu Guo disturbs the rules and regulations and breaks the law, which is a capital crime... What is the bad sentence?

Cao Afu acted wantonly, broke into private houses, and killed several people in a row. The evidence of the crime is conclusive... In my opinion, these two people have committed extremely heinous crimes and should be executed!"

Cheng Yu couldn't help being shocked when he heard this.

He was a little confused as to why Mr. Cao suddenly wanted to kill Cao Peng.

He stood up and was about to persuade him, but was pulled by Guo Jia.

He turned around and saw Guo Jia shaking his head gently towards him, which clearly meant don't persuade him!
To be continued...
