Cao Thief

Chapter 11 The First Cry of the Chicks
Cao Ji is ignorant and ignorant, and has never left Zhongyang Town since he was a child.

But Wang Meng was different. He had been the commander of Qu, and he traveled across Nanyang with the Yellow Turban Army in his early years, so he had seen a lot.Who is Mr. Yuan An?Cao Ji didn't know, Cao Peng hadn't heard of it, but Wang Meng knew.Mr. Yuan An's name is Pang Ji, a native of Lumen Mountain in Xiangyang, and a famous scholar in Jingzhou.

When Liu Biao first arrived in Jingzhou, his foothold was not stable.

From time to time, Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng occupied Xiangyang and gathered crowds to create chaos.

At that time, Liu Biao had no soldiers, no generals, and he only held the title of Jingzhou Mu, and he also had the name of a clan member of the Han Dynasty.

However, Liu Biao is one of the Eight Gus in the world, and his fame moves the world.

Don't underestimate this 'name', sometimes it is worth thousands of troops.

Even in later generations, for a 'name', people will fight to the death.At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, this fame played a greater role.

In the name of Ba Gu, Liu Biao invited Pang Ji Kuai Yue.

The two rode into Xiangyang City alone, and with their perfect tongues, they persuaded Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng's tens of thousands of troops to scatter.Because of this, Liu Biao sat in Xiangyang without spending a single soldier, and fired his first shot in conquest of Jingzhou.In other words, without Pang Ji, it would not be easy for Liu Biao to gain a firm foothold in Jingzhou...

In addition, Pang Ji has a name.

There is a saying in Jingzhou: Lumen Erpang, the youngest Pang is the best.

Pang Ji, whose character is Yuan'an, is the Da Pang among the "Lumen Erpang", and his brother is Pang Zuwen, the Duke of Pang De, who is a well-known celebrity in Jingzhou.

As for Sima Hui, it was a branch of the Hongnong Sima clan, rarely known as a child prodigy, and one of the celebrities in Jingzhou.

On the contrary, the name of the Wenpin Wen Zhongye seems a little unknown.At least Wang Meng didn't know what Wenpin's background was, but Wang Meng was also afraid of Wenpin's martial arts from the bottom of his heart.Cao Peng said, "asking for advice", which really scared Wang Meng into a cold sweat.

Don't say that Pang Ji and Sima Hui, even if they are Wenpin, want to clean up Cao Peng, as easy as crushing an ant.

Ask for advice?

In this day and age, asking for advice means slapping your face.

Is this kid crazy?
He actually wanted to slap Sima Hui and Pang Ji in the face!
Wen Pin's face sank, he held his saber in his hand, and his tiger eyes widened.

A trace of murderous aura quietly emanated from him, and Cao Peng felt the most real, only feeling chills all over his body, dry mouth and tongue.

However, he was not afraid!
He is gambling.

Bet Sima Hui would speak up.Since Sima Hui can be a celebrity, and he is also the teacher of Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu, and Pang Tong in the novel, his temperament must be different from ordinary people.In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Sima Hui did not appear many times, but he left a deep impression on people.

Elegant and good at knowing people!
How can such a celebrity not allow others to speak?

Unexpectedly, before Sima Hui could speak, Pang Ji waved his hand first, and said seriously, "Zhongye, you are so rude."

His expression was serious and dignified.

Wen Pin seemed to respect Pang Ji very much. Seeing Pang Ji open his mouth, he immediately withdrew his murderous aura and let go of his sword at the same time.The corners of the mouth are slightly upturned, drawing a soft arc.That expression, with a hint of disdain, seemed to be saying: Let's see what you can say, you brat.

Sima Hui looked at Cao Peng quietly with gentle eyes.

Cao Peng is not tall, even among his peers, he is somewhat low.Wang Mai is also 13 years old, and he is almost 170 centimeters tall, but Cao Peng is just in his early 160s.Coupled with congenital malnutrition, he looks extraordinarily thin and thin.

A gray dress that has been washed white, and a cotton robe over it.

The robe seemed a little big, so it made him look thinner...

Compared with the people here, Cao Peng's clothes are simply shabby and ridiculous.However, he held his head up, showing no sign of cowardice.

Those eyes were as calm as water, revealing a sense of pride.

Sima Hui couldn't help laughing!

Don't look at his shabby clothes, but his demeanor is really admirable.

"Youxue, little friend, what can I teach you?"

Confucius said that if three people walk together, there must be my teacher!

Therefore, whether it is Sima Hui or Pang Ji, they are not people who cannot tolerate different opinions.

Wenpin's face was expressionless, but in his heart, he secretly praised: Although this child is not very old, his bearing is extraordinary.

Cao Peng clenched his fists, his nails even dug into his flesh, trying to keep himself calm.

As he said to Wang Mai before, do you want to stand out in this era?In addition to the real ability, there are two conditions.

One, family background.

The second is fame.

Family background is birth, this is determined by God, and it cannot be redeemed by humans.

But fame is different, this thing can be hyped and earned.Cao Cao doesn't have to ask about his background or his virtue.But if there is some fame, the treatment will naturally be different.And Sima Hui and Pang Ji in front of him are undoubtedly a shortcut for him to earn fame.

Stabilizing his mind, Cao Peng first bowed, and then said: "Just now I heard that the two gentlemen said that the general trend of the world, the boy is not talented, so I dare not agree.

Mr. Yuan An said that Cao Cao was not Yuan Shao's enemy.

But the boy thought that Yuan Shao was just a man trying to catch fame, and he was definitely not Cao Cao's opponent. "

Pang Ji talked with Sima Hui about the general trend of the world just now, and thought that although Cao Cao worshiped the emperor, he could hardly do anything.The reason is very simple... Although Cao Cao occupies Yanzhou and Qingzhou, he now has Yuzhou.In name, he controlled the land of the three states, and served the emperor as an order to the princes.

However, Yanzhou and Qingzhou were dilapidated, and Cao Cao punished and killed Bianchang, which made the scholars of Yanzhou very dissatisfied.

As a last resort, Cao Cao shifted his focus to Yuzhou.But even so, the foundation is still not solid enough.In addition, Cao Cao was surrounded by enemies on all sides, and after welcoming the emperor, he became the target of public criticism... On the other hand, Yuan Shao, four generations and three princes, dominates Hebei, and has a wealth of money and food.No matter in terms of fame or strength, it is impossible for Cao Cao to defeat Yuan Shao.He welcomed the emperor, maybe he will perish faster.

In short, Pang Ji is not very optimistic about Cao Cao!
The boy sitting next to Pang Ji looked at Cao Peng with interest.

Sima Hui said: "Then what's your opinion, little friend?"

"The kid thought that Yuan Shao would be defeated!"

"Oh, I would like to hear about it."

Pang Ji couldn't help being a little moved, and waved his hand to signal the young man beside him to give up his seat.

The boy didn't have any objections, he smiled and stood up, and then gave up his seat.

Cao Peng cupped his hands, walked over and sat down on his knees, "Gaozu fought with Chu Xiang in the past, although Chu Xiang was strong, Gaozu won in the end, why?

Xiang Ji is the descendant of the great general Xiang Yan, and his ancestor was only a pavilion in Pei County.

This is like Yuan Shao and Cao Cao today.Although Yuan Shao was born in a family of four generations and three lords, according to Hebei, where money and food are abundant, he is as tyrannical as Chu Xiang.But the boy once heard that if it wasn't for Yuan Shao, how could there be Dong Zhuo's chaos?Back then, when the ten permanent servants were in trouble, the general He Jin wanted to get rid of the ten permanent servants, Cao Cao once advised to take Zhang Rang and others, but was finally stopped by Yuan Shao, who tried to persuade the frontier army to serve the king, but did not want to lure wolves into the house.

It can be seen from this that Yuan Shaoxu has his appearance, but he is not a brilliant man..."

Pang Ji and Sima Hui couldn't help being moved when they heard this, and after looking at each other, the way they looked at Cao Peng immediately became a little different.

And Wang Meng and others who were huddled in a corner of the room were not only dumbfounded.

"My dear brother, who did you learn what Ah Fu said?"

Cao Ji opened his mouth wide, swallowed, and said, "How do I know? This kid was not good at talking before, and he never talked to me about this.

If you ask me, you might as well ask Hutou, maybe he knows better than me. "

Wang Meng looked at Wang Mai immediately, and Wang Mai shook his head and said, "I don't know either. Although Ah Fu played with me often, he never said these things."

"This child is really extraordinary!"

Wang Meng and the others were whispering, and on the other side, Cao Peng also gradually entered the state.

"In my opinion, although Yuan Shao is prosperous, he is not afraid."

"Appreciate further details."

"From my point of view, Yuan Shao had ten defeats, while Cao Cao had ten victories.

Yuan Shao was born in a noble family with many etiquettes.Cao Cao's style is natural, and this way is the victory;
Yuan Shao used rebellion, Cao Cao followed suit, and this righteous victory;
Since Huan and Ling, the government has lost its power.Yuan Shao used lenient aid, while Cao Cao used fierce corrections, and this rule was also victorious;

Yuan Shao was lenient on the outside and jealous on the inside, and he was nepotism.Cao Cao is simple on the outside and clear on the inside, employing people on their merits.this degree of victory;
Yuan Shao was more cunning than decisive, and Cao Cao was quick to act when he got the strategy, and this strategy was the victory;
Yuan Shao was famous for his reputation, Cao Cao treated people with sincerity, and this virtue is also the victory;

Yuan Shao is a villain and far away from virtuous ministers, Cao Cao is careful, this is the victory of benevolence;

Yuan Shao was confused by the slander, but Cao Cao was able to see clearly, and if he couldn't get wet, he was the victory of Ming;

Yuan Shao confuses right and wrong, Cao Cao's laws are strict, and this article wins;
Yuan Shao likes to pretend to be false, and he doesn't know what soldiers are going to do.Cao Cao can conquer more with less, use soldiers like a god, and this is the victory of martial arts.

So the boy thought that if Cao Cao had these ten victories, he would definitely defeat Yuan Shao sooner or later! "

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, speech was very free.

Ordinary people can discuss government affairs and comment on celebrities, but the court will not punish them for this.

Especially among celebrities, they can criticize and demote courtiers and officials as they please.Those who have been criticized, if they know about it, they can’t blame them, let alone get angry. Instead, they have to visit the door for advice, and even express their gratitude.If he retaliates recklessly, he will be said to be short-tempered and narrow-minded.

In history, in the third year of Jian'an, Yuan Shao provoked Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was more or less worried about Yuan Shao at the time, so his counselor, Guo Jia, who was the military adviser at the time, made the list of ten victories and ten defeats.

Among the heroes of the Three Kingdoms, if it is said that Cao Peng's favorite counselor is not the well-known Zhuge Kongming.

He admires Jia Xu and Guo Jia the most, and he often feels sad that Guo Jia died before his ambition was fulfilled.The traces Guo Jia left in history are not too many.And this ten wins and ten losses is also the most classic one.

In later generations, a scholar named Beast believed that the theory of ten victories and ten defeats was not written by Guo Jia.But Cao Peng firmly believes that this is from Guo Jia.Now, he intends to seek fame in front of Pang Ji and Sima Hui, and what he is talking about is the comparison between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, so he brought it out without hesitation.

Pang Ji and Sima Hui looked at each other.

This theory of ten victories and ten defeats, like Huang Zhong Dalu, is thought-provoking.

Even Wenpin, who was standing beside him, nodded again and again... Not to mention anything else, this knowledge alone is enough to make him think highly of Cao Peng.

"You mean, Cao Cao will win?"

The young man standing beside Pang Ji, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked.

Cao Peng nodded without hesitation, "Exactly."

"What if we don't win?"

"what?"

"I mean, what if Cao Cao loses to Yuan Shao?"

In the young man's words, there was an unavoidable sense of vindictiveness.

Obviously, although Cao Peng's words moved Pang Ji and Sima Hui, they failed to really convince the young man.

Cao Peng was not in a hurry to answer. Under the watchful eyes of Pang Ji and Sima Hui, he pondered for a moment, raised his head and said, "If Cao Cao is defeated, the common people will suffer."
