Chapter 131 Abundant Talents
"Who to conquer? To conquer Cao Pi?"
When he heard this news, Cai Mao, who had been showing his image in his grasp, was stunned for a long time. He thought that there was another person with the same name and surname in this world, also named Cao Pi.
But after hearing Guan Ping's explanation, he couldn't help laughing and shook his head slowly.
"Okay, the person behind this person is really planning and planning. Meng De has always disliked his son. He thinks he is not the one who can take over his great cause, let alone let him command troops at will.
Now, Le Jin begged him to lead the army in order to protect you. This is not considered Cao Pi's pursuit of military merits himself. You will have to share your contributions in the future. Hahahahaha..."
Looking at Cai Mao's gloating look, Guan Ping's face looked calm.
"It doesn't matter. This time he came south, with only a dozen followers around him, and there were no strategists following him.
He is under my command, and I give him a heavy responsibility to lead the army and fight."
Cai Mao looked aside and said in a cold voice:
"No! Do you want to die?"
Cao Pi came south this time clearly because he used means to redeem his contributions in Jingzhou, especially waiting to rescue Cao Ren.
He only brought a dozen followers who took care of daily life, and it was not intended to come to fight. If he really led the army and fell into the hands of Guan Yu or others, it would definitely cause Cao Cao's anger.
As we all know, Cao Cao's best at venting his anger on others. Although Yunshan is favored now, if Cao Pi makes mistakes, Yunshan will sooner or later have to be in a different position.
"Cao Cao has many sons, whether it is Cao Pi or Cao Zhi, if they are gone, Cao Cao will have to replace them.
But if you offend him a lot because of this, do you still want to stay in Jingzhou?
When Le Jin is dismissed, you will also be arrested and tried. Cao Cao is afraid that he will recognize your identity at a glance. I will see how you can continue to act."
Guan Ping smiled and said:
"I didn't expect my uncle to care so much about me.
It doesn’t matter, I’m ready. This time I won, my uncle can gain a foothold in Nanyang. From now on, I’ll ask my uncle to take care of the wealth of more than 10,000 people in my nephew’s army.”
Cai Mao's eyes narrowed slightly.
He looked at Guan Ping with a calm face, with a little suspicious look on his face, but in the end he could only sigh:
"If you only seek wealth and honor, Meng De and Xuan De will still be good friends."
"This is wrong. If you only seek wealth and honor, how could Cao Gong regard my lord as a hero in the world?"
"That's right." Cai Mao's face showed a hint of melancholy for the first time. He spoke gently into the air and said to himself, "I would have liked to go back a few years ago and work with Xuande to support the Han Dynasty."
"It's too late now."
"Yes." Cai Mao sighed long, "I hope Xuande can forgive my sins. I, Cai Mao, have no ambitions, just want to spend my old age in peace."

Le Jin thought that after giving Cao Pi a Sima from another department, Cao Pi should be at peace for a few days, and just squatted in Xiangyang City and waited to share the credit.
But Cao Pi actually asked Le Jin to give him a thousand soldiers, and began to command the training, and urged Guan Ping from time to time to send troops. He couldn't wait to go to Jiangling City to start a fight with Sun Liu.
It should be admitted that Cao Pi's military talent is far better than Cao Zhi.
This noble young man who had been fighting with his father since childhood was a child was well aware of when to set out, when to garrison the army, and how to train formations.
However, as a great writer, he is as full of romantic feelings as his younger brother, who is also a great writer, and has a difficult understanding of life and death battles. In a word, these brothers are the kind of people who lose and always feel that their teammates are not strong. They think that they will be able to make a great battle that will be remembered in history and that future generations will remember.
Fortunately, Ma Liang was prepared.
For such a person, he happened to have a person who restrained him.
A few days later, Guan Ping bid farewell to Lejin and left Xiangyang, mobilizing more than 5,000 troops to return to Jiangxia, who had been away for a long time.
Huo Jun and Sima Fu from Jiangxia all came to greet Guan Ping. Even Cao Zhi walked over there with a drunken smell and waited for Guan Ping's arrival.
He had long heard that his brother, who was very inconsistent with him, also came here, and shamelessly got into a position of Sima in another department, and had the right to lead the army, which made him feel very bad and kept wishing his brother's ship to sink on the river.
Cao Pi also saw his dear brother at a glance in the crowd.
After the two of them had a brief collision, the stiff muscles on their faces instantly stretched out.
"Zi Jian!"
"Brother!"
The two of them ran over, hugged each other hard, and looked at each other with surprise on their faces.
"Brother is so happy recently? Zijian wants to get rid of brother."
"I have never missed Zijian in Xudu for a day! I see you today, and I must not return without getting drunk!"
"Yes, I won't go home if I'm drunk!"
It was a harmonious scene of brothers and brothers, and Guan Ping couldn't help but cry. He brought the two to his prefect's house. He sat in the master's seat without hesitation, and waved his hand boldly:
"I disturbed the two of you who had been together for a long time, but now the state is difficult. The Prime Minister asked me to discuss the major affairs of the border and cannot tolerate the two of you reminisce about the past."
Cao Pi immediately said: "National affairs are the most important. My brotherly feelings can be found in the future. Please ask the general to discuss state affairs first."
Cao Zhi nodded quickly and said:
"I listen to my brother."
Guan Ping nodded, looked at Huo Jun and Sima Fu in the distance, and said solemnly:
"Guan Yu was in the north, and our army failed to fight in the south several times. Dangyang was already an isolated city.
This time, the envoy Cai personally supervised the army and rescued Dangyang first. We need to cooperate with the envoy Cai to open up the Han River. Both young masters are the prime minister's flesh and blood. They should wear strong and hold sharp edges and charge forward to open the way for the entire army! I wonder if the two young masters are willing to lead the army?"
Cao Pi stood up long and said with a sigh:
"I am the son of the prime minister. Even though I am not afraid of swords and axes, I am willing to open the way for the entire army!"
When Cao Zhi heard that he was going to fight Guan Yu again, he couldn't help but be pale, but he didn't want to be embarrassed in front of Cao Pi, so he gritted his teeth and said:
"I was lucky enough to escape before. This time we use our troops, we will definitely take his life!"
"Okay!" Guan Ping looked at the two of them with approval, almost seeing a bright future before waving to him.
He discussed this opportunity with Ma Liang for a long time, and then deduced it in detail with Cai Mao, confirming that there were no flaws. If the execution was done well, it would be possible to achieve a win-win situation between Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, Le Jin, Cai Mao and his side.
Now it depends on the dispatch of your personnel.
"This matter is of great importance. I have requested the Prime Minister to take Shuda as the chief secretary and act as the military of Jiangxia for me."
The border counties in the Han Dynasty could not set up county magistrates but instead set up chiefs who prefer combat functions, which was equivalent to the deputy lieutenant of the prefect and had a high status. Guan Ping was considered a reward for Sima Fu, which made Sima Fu, Cao Pi and Cao Zhi very happy.
Sima Fu was happy because this job was higher than Gongcao's position. His previous efforts were not in vain and he instantly took the position of the second person in Jiangxia. Guan Ping had been on the battlefield for a long time and he was already the real commander here. The civil affairs and various officials here had to obey his command, and he could directly decide on the military affairs here without asking for a report.
The reason why Cao Pi was happy was that he knew that Sima Fu had betrayed Cao Zhi. The Sima family is now united and has begun to support him, which means that he has added another piece of strength to his hands and has tied Yunshan in.
The reason why Cao Zhi was happy was even simpler - he still thought that the honest Sima Fu was his own person, after all, he was born as a literary official under his command, and he was also willing to share Sima Fu's position as the chief minister here.
"Zhong Miao is the Sima of my army and leads the navy as the leader for me. He vows to open up the river bank and rescue Dangyang."
Huo Jun and Cao Zhi were not unfamiliar with him. He walked up to him respectfully and accepted the order to Guan Pingxingli, expressing his determination to fulfill his mission.
After arranging the two of them in one breath, Guan Ping said quickly:
"Bo Yan is the Sima of our army, and is always the chief clerk of our army for his youth. He commands our army's military affairs. He must strictly enforce the laws and regulations and must not make any mistakes."
The two of them walked out behind Guan Ping and sang "Now" loudly together.
Both of these two Cao Zhi did not know each other, Cao Pi only knew one - that is Ma Su and Ma Youchang who came with him.
This person is Ma Liang's younger brother. Guan Ping's Ma Liang's relationship is Tie-Ti-Ti-Ti-Ti-Ti-Ti-Ti-Ti-Ti-Ti-Ti-Ti-Ti-Ti-Ti-Ti-Ti-Ti-Ti-Ti-Ti-Ti-Ti-Ti-Ti-Ti-Ti-Ti-Ti-Ti-Ti-Ti-Ti-Ti-Ti-Ti-Ti-Ti-Ti-Ti-Ti-Ti-Ti-Ti-Ti-Ti-Ti-Ti-Ti-Ti-Ti-Ti-Ti-Ti-Ti-Ti-Ti-Ti-Ti-Ti-Ti-Ti-Ti-Ti-Ti-Ti-Ti-Ti-Ti-Ti-Ti-Ti-Ti-Ti-Ti-Ti-Ti-T
This person is really familiar with military tactics and familiar with people's hearts, just like Sun Wu's resurrection. Cao Pi was stunned and kept calling Dacai. He didn't expect that there would be such a person in the world.
He had made up his mind that if Ma Su performed well in this battle, he would enlist him into his shogunate in the future.
As for the other one...
Appearing next to Ma Su was a man with dark skin, extremely delicate beard, a brand new red Rong robe, and a heroic figure.
Lu Xun, whose courtesy name is Boyan, is said to be a talented man from the Lu family in Jiangdong. The Lu family has changed and has been in constant internal conflicts. He was captured by Yunshan in the Battle of Xiakou and simply defected to Yunshan.
This kind of thing is normal. After all, Yunshan Prefect's Mansion is a strait troupe. As long as the prisoners of the Lu clan in Jiangdong are willing to serve the court, it is nothing to get a single official and a half position.
Cao Pi thought Cao Zhi must have known this person, so he didn't ask much.
Cao Zhi felt that Yunshan had not introduced it carefully just now, and he thought that everyone except me knew this person.
Sima Fu didn't think there was any problem, but suddenly he felt that the words of Yunshan and Lu Xun were quite strange.
The word is the explanation of the name, why can Ping explain the mountain?
Why can words explain so?
But then I thought about it and found that all his brothers, Bo Zhongshu Ji, were all called Da, probably because he was lazy to just want to just do whatever he wanted when he started writing. This is not surprising.
Guan Ping smiled and nodded at Lu Yi, and Lu Yi nodded to him without any trace.
After this operation, they finally got together quietly again, and Liu Dun also changed his name to Liu Ping, and is now responsible for helping Yunshan Lu Xun deliver messages.
