Chapter 30
Wang Meng was stunned for a moment and then smiled.
Cao Ji thought about it and felt that this was really reasonable.
Zhang said: "Tiger head, wouldn't it be better if you go and let your uncle or your father follow you?"
Cao Peng immediately objected, "Mom, if my father and Uncle Wang go over, it would be too eye-catching. Hutou and I are young and do not attract attention, but Dad and Uncle Wang... I think it's enough for me to go with Hutou. Anyway, it won't take it long, so I'll just treat it as a play."
Although Deng Ji was determined to object, he could not find any reason.
Wang Meng and Cao Ji looked at each other, and Cao Ji stood up and said, "Since that's the case, then that's it! My friend has great ambitions, don't object to the child. Besides, Shusun is a knowledgeable person. As long as his three brothers work together, nothing can happen.
Lao Wang, help me turn on the furnace.
I will make two weapons for Shusun, and by the way, I will make two pieces of clothing and armor for Afu and Hutou. Since I am going to the barracks, I can't go there empty-handedly."
Fortunately, Deng Ji had taken care of the work of repairing weapons for Cao Ji before, so it was not difficult to renovate two or three sets of equipment.
Seeing that the matter was settled, Zhang and Cao Nan were not ready to object.
Although he was still a little worried, he was more or less stable than the confusion and helplessness he had just now.
"Brother-in-law, is it going to fight?"
Cao Peng and Deng Ji also went to help Cao Ji, and Cao Peng asked in a low voice in private.
Deng Ji no longer regarded Cao Peng as a simple and ignorant boy. Not to mention Cao Peng's identity as a disciple of the future Lumen, just based on his words just now, he was at least a sensible person. When speaking to a sensible person, his tone was naturally different, and his tone was a little more solemn.
"Well, I heard that Cao Sikong is going to send troops!"
Cao Sikong is Cao Cao.
The first year of Jian'an was undoubtedly an extremely important year for Cao Cao.
In the first month, he adopted the opinions of Xun Yu and Cheng Yu and decided to welcome the Emperor Han in the west; in February, Cao Cao attacked Runan and the Yellow Turban Army of Yingchuan, and transferred his foundation from Yanzhou to Yuzhou, and was therefore named General Jiande; in June, Cao Cao moved to General Zhendong and was granted the title of Marquis of Feiting; in July, he personally went to Luoyang to welcome the Emperor Han, and used the Jieyue to record the affairs of Shangshu, thus achieving his strategic commanding heights.
In September, Emperor Han appointed Cao Cao as the general and the Marquis of Wuping.
However, due to Yuan Shao's reasons, Cao Cao quickly made the General and Yuan Shao serve as Sikong and the General of the Cycling and Cavalry.
In October, Cao Cao conquered Yang Feng and took in Liu Bei, who was beaten by Lu Bu and abandoned his wife and son, and was desperate...
"Liu Bei?"
Deng Ji nodded with a smile, "That's right, it's Liu Bei."
In his words, Deng Ji did not show respect for Uncle Liu, as if he was talking about an ordinary person.
Didn’t it mean that Liu Bei is very prestigious among the people?
Cao Peng couldn't help asking, "Who is this Liu Bei?"
"Well... I don't know much about this. I only heard that this man and Gongsun Zan and Liu Deran had worked in Lu Zhi. Later, the Taipingdao Rebellion broke out. This man led his people to follow Zou Jing to fight against the rebels and became the county magistrate of Anxi. However, this man was not very peaceful. Soon he died because of his tie-up of Du You and his seal... Later, General He Jinguang recruited troops to resist the rebels of Taipingdao. Liu Bei responded to the move, made great contributions in Xia Pi, and became the chief of Xia Mi. Not long after Xia Mi, he was transferred to Gaotang County magistrate, and later became Gaotang Order."
Cao Peng really didn't seriously inquire about Liu Bei.
One reason is that he didn't have this opportunity, and the other reason is that Liu Bei's reputation is not very famous.
At least in Nanyang County, there are not many people who know about Liu Bei. Deng Ji is an official in Jiyang County and handles official documents, so he can access this information. If it were another person, he might not know who Liu Bei was.
But according to Deng Ji's statement, it seems that he doesn't know much from Cao Peng.
Moreover, from Deng Ji's tone, it can be heard that he was not particularly interested in Liu Bei...
"What about it later?"
"Later, he was defeated by the remnants of Taipingdao and defected to the Central Army General Gongsun Zan as a Sima of another unit. Then he followed the Qingzhou Governor Tian Kai and fought with the Jizhou Governor Yuan Shao several times, and made military achievements and led the Pingyuan. It is said that when he was in Pingyuan County, the governance was not bad and he had a good reputation. When Cao Sikong was conquering Xuzhou, Liu Bei abandoned Pingyuan and went to rescue Tao Qian in Xuzhou, which was highly valued by Tao Qian.
Tao Qian also submitted a letter to Liu Bei as the governor of Yuzhou, but he was not allowed to stay in Xiaopei. After Tao Qian's death, he didn't know what methods he used to take over Xuzhou and defeat Yuan Shu, so he gained a lot of reputation. However, this person later took in Lu Bu, and was counterattacked by Lu Bu and turned into Lu Bu's subordinate... In short, this person gives me the feeling that he is also a day and a day, not an ordinary person."
Cao Peng didn’t know whether this was Deng Ji’s opinion alone or the views of most people.
But it was very different from what he imagined, and the overall feeling was not very good...
"Afu, go to the warehouse and get the iron halberd snake spear."
Cao Peng agreed, hurried to the warehouse, and held an iron halberd and snake spear about one or two feet away in his hand.
The snake spear weighs about forty kilograms, which is different from ordinary spears.
The so-called snake spear does not mean that it looks like a snake, but refers to its length. Liu Xi of the Han Dynasty said that the spear is long and snail is a snail, which refers to this kind of spear. The iron halberd snake spear is not the same, with a slightly short length, the ridge of the spear blade is raised, and the sides of the ridge are slightly sunken, which can circulate air and help pull it out. In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, there were not many people with snails, but there were many iron halberd snake spears.
Cao Peng handed the snake spear to Cao Ji and asked in confusion: "Dad, are you going to repair the spear?"
"It is not easy to use a knife in a tiger's head, and I like to use a spear.
I found this snake spear yesterday, and it has a good foundation. If you repair it, it cannot be said to be a magic weapon, but it can also take human life through double armor. I will give you a knife and a sword for my uncle. You two, go and choose to see if you can find a handy guy."
It can be seen that Cao Ji is very attentive.
The son and son-in-law are going to the barracks, and having a good guy in his hand can make him more safe.
Cao Peng agreed and called Deng Ji to choose from the warehouse.
This warehouse is a wing room in the front yard. There are three rooms in the front yard, and Wang Meng and his son each occupy one room, and the remaining one becomes a warehouse where weapons are piled up. The two walked into the wing room, and they selected weapons while talking.
"Brother-in-law, where did you just say?"
"Oh, Liu Bei..."
"No, it was Cao Sikong's troops."
Deng Ji slapped his forehead and smiled and said, "After you interrupted, I almost forgot about the serious matter."
Cao Cao took Liu Bei in. When he was about to attack Xuzhou, Zhang Xiu entered Wancheng and the news of his alliance with Liu Biao spread.
To be honest, Cao Cao was not afraid of Liu Biao, nor was he afraid of Zhang Xiu's uncle Zhang Ji.
But I was a little afraid of Zhang Xiu.
As early as when Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, Zhang Xiu was a famous general of Xiliang. He was not only skilled in martial arts, but also proficient in military strategy.
When Zhang Ji was alive, Zhang Xiu was still somewhat restricted.
But Zhang Ji died. He held the Xiliang army in his hand, and received the help of Liu Biao and lived in Wancheng, as if he had a nail on the back of Cao Cao.
For this reason, Cao Cao even gave up his plan to attack Xuzhou and quickly returned to Xudu.
Deng Ji picked up an iron sword and gestured twice in the void.
"I guess, Liu Jingzhou suddenly reused Nine Girls City this time, just for this matter." After that, he nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "That's it, I'll take it for my father and ask him to help repair it. Ah Fu, have you chosen the weapon?"
"I'll take a look."
Deng Ji nodded and walked out with an iron sword.
