Chapter 353 Poem of Grief and Anger (1/2)

Cao Cao called him, and Cao Peng naturally couldn't refuse.

Fortunately, it is not far from Xudu to Changshe. Although the snow is very thick, it will not delay too much time. Cao Peng rode on Zhao Yebai, called Han De and twenty Fei Qian and set off immediately. He hurried all the way.

, arrived at Changshe after Haishi.

Cao Cao did not lead his army to garrison in Changshe County, but instead garrisoned outside Changshe City.

Cao Peng announced his name at the gate of the camp, and within a short time, he saw Dian Man and Xu Yi leading two teams of cavalry to greet him.

"Second brother, third brother, Sikong is so anxious to find me, is there something wrong?"

Noriman shook his head, indicating that he was not sure.

Xu Yi said: "Some time ago, it seems that in Liyang, Sikong accidentally got an article, and he became depressed after that... Maybe this is why I came to you. Please be careful. My master has not been in a very good mood recently."

If I get an article, what does it have to do with me?

Cao Peng couldn't help being surprised, so he dismounted his horse and followed Dian Man and the others to the camp.

I wanted to find out more information, but these two people couldn't figure out what the situation was.

In this way, with full of doubts, Cao Peng went to the main tent of the Chinese army.

When he was about to reach the big tent, he saw a scribe in blue shirt blocking Cao Peng's way.

This scribe was about fifty years old, with a slim appearance and three long beards under his chin. He looked quite elegant.

He is of medium height, has a thin build and looks a bit thin.

As soon as he appeared, Dianman Xu Yi's expression suddenly changed, and each of them looked very ugly.

Cao Peng stopped and looked at the other person suspiciously.

"But Cao Sanpian in person?"

"Uh... Cao Peng, may I ask your name?"

"Xu You from a certain family."

Xu You?

Is it Xu You, the running friend who made a surprise attack on Wuchao and offered a plan to defeat Yuan Shao? Cao Peng remembered that Xu You's end did not seem to be too good. This man had a rebellious character and did not know how to advance or retreat. After Yecheng was defeated, he was attacked by Xu Chu.

Cao Cao was very angry at the time, but in the end he only fined Xu Chu one year's salary without going into details.

Furthermore, Cao Peng's impression of Xu You was not very good either.

So when Xu You stopped him, he couldn't help but be a little confused and looked at Xu You curiously.

In his memory, he had little contact with Xu You. When Xu You defected to Cao Cao, he was imprisoned in the prison of General Wei's mansion. Later, after Xu You arrived in Xudu, Cao Peng ran to Luoyang to discuss with Chen Qun.

matter.

When Cao Peng returned to Xudu to get married, Xu You returned to his hometown of Nanyang for some reason, and the two missed each other again.

It's interesting to say that Xu You went to Cao Cao for nearly three years, but he never met Cao Peng. Even though they were in the same city, they had no contact because Cao Peng dismissed him from office. Xu You has always been with Cao Peng.

When working in Sikong Mansion, he paid tribute to Sikong Military Sacrifice. As for Cao Peng, he didn’t like to go to Sikong Mansion all the time for nothing. Especially after getting married, he spent most of his time in the farm outside the city, giving lessons and practicing martial arts, and rarely set foot in the village.

Entering the city gate of Xudu...

Xu You is looking for me, what's the matter?

"I heard that Cao Sanpian is from Nanyang?"

"Uh... I lived in Nanyang when I was a child. I never returned to my hometown after I was fourteen years old."

"I dare to ask, where is Nanyang?"

"He lives in Zhongyangshan, Wuyin County, Nanyang County."

Cao Peng didn't notice that Xu You spoke in Nanyang dialect.

Perhaps due to habit, he instinctively answered in Nanyang dialect... However, Xu You's accent should be closer to the Rangcheng area, which belongs to the southwest of Nanyang; while Cao Peng's accent is the Wuyin dialect, which is located in the north of Nanyang.

Close or not, fellow countrymen.

After Cao Peng arrived in Xudu, he spoke Luoyang Mandarin.

Even at home, whether with Cao Ji or Deng Ji, they mostly speak Mandarin. Except for the occasional Nanyang dialect when talking to mother Zhang and sister Cao Nan, Nanyang dialect is rarely spoken. Nowadays,

Xu You asked in Nanyang dialect, and Cao Peng couldn't help but feel a sense of intimacy. As for Xu You, a smile appeared on his face.

"I didn't expect that I would be from the same hometown as Cao Sanpian."

"Mr. Ziyuan is also from Nanyang?"

"Exactly...I am a native of Rang County."

"Rang County, I have been there."

Xu You was overjoyed when he heard this, "I have been to Zhongyang Mountain too, and the scenery is very beautiful.

If Cao Sanpian has some free time in the future, why not go back to his hometown together? Haha, it’s rare to see a fellow countryman, so Xu is a little out of his mind!"

"Tomo has heard of Mr. Sir for a long time, but has never paid him a visit, so he always has regrets in his heart.

If you are not stingy, sir, I would like to have a drink and chat with you when you have free time... However, Sikong called me to have something to do, so I apologize for my rudeness."

Xu You hurriedly waved his hand, "Youxue will go on your own, and I will visit you one day."

Saying that, Xu You clasped his hands behind his back and walked away leisurely, but Cao Peng was confused and a little confused.

This Xu You doesn’t look so annoying!

"It's really strange today. Xu Ziyuan is very affectionate towards you."

"Yeah?"

Noriman said with a dark face: "You don't know how annoying this guy is on weekdays. He has a big air and an arrogant tone. Last time he saw me, he asked me: Do you know who is the one who broke Yuan? I know

He once came up with a plan to attack Wuchao by surprise, but that was also the result of the lord's foresight and the soldiers' service... If it weren't for the fact that he was the lord's old friend, I would have beaten him up. No matter who he talks to, he always holds his head high.

, looking like he didn’t want to see anyone.

Talking to you today seems quite normal... However, it is probably only temporary and will make you angry sooner or later."

It can be seen that Dianman has deep resentment towards Xu You.

Cao Peng looked at Xu You's back and shook his head in confusion.

In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Luo Dahuang focused on Cao Cao's decisiveness and obscured Xu You's light.

But in fact, Xu You played an extremely important role in the surprise attack on Wuchao. Later, Jia Xu and Guo Jia Xu You added fuel to the fire, which finally made Cao Cao determined. It can be said that without Xu You, the Battle of Guandu might have lasted for a long time.

For a long time, the outcome was uncertain. No matter how history evaluates it, Xu You's first half of life was indeed brilliant.

He and He Yong and others were once known as running friends, and they were guests of General He Jin.

He once participated in the dethronement of the King of Hefei, and later assisted Yuan Shao and dominated the north. Even Kong Rong once praised him: Tian Feng and Xu You are wise and resourceful people.

Jushu is awesome!

But it may not be able to penetrate Kong Rong's eyes.

Xu You's shortcoming is greed, but who doesn't have shortcomings?

Cao Peng looked at Xu You's back and shook his head gently...

No one can explain this kind of thing. Xu You's life or death has nothing to do with him. At least, his attitude towards Cao Peng is quite good.

"Let's go, my lord must be waiting impatiently!"

"That's right, let's go there quickly."

Dianman and Xu Yi temporarily forgot about Xu You and hurried to the Chinese army's tent with Cao Peng.

In the big tent, candles were brightly lit.

Cao Cao was sitting alone on the couch, wearing a black fur coat, reading a book with great interest.

Cao Peng greatly admired Cao Cao's eagerness to learn.

No matter where he goes, this guy always brings a cart full of books.

In the past two or three years, Cao Peng has not had much contact with Cao Cao. Firstly, Cao Cao is busy, and secondly, Cao Peng does not want to bother Cao Cao all the time. He is not worried at all about his career. When Cao Cao should use him, he will naturally use him.

.

"Cao Peng was ordered to come and pay homage to Sikong."

"Afu, come in quickly."

Cao Cao put down his book and waved to Cao Peng to take in the money.

Dianman and Xu Yi consciously stopped outside the tent. When Cao Peng entered the tent, the curtains lowered.

"My uncle called his nephew here so urgently. What is his order?"

When the curtain fell, Cao Peng understood what Cao Cao meant and immediately changed his title.

Externally, when Cao Peng calls Cao Cao to his official position, it is official business.
