Chapter 18 Recalling the Past
After receiving an unexpected promotion, Cao Liang was in a good mood. After leaving the palace, he quickly returned home to prepare to report the good news to his parents.
As soon as he entered the house, he saw his father, Cao Yan, talking to three guests. As soon as Cao Liang saw the guests, he wanted to pull back his left foot that he had just stepped out.
But it seemed a little late. Cao Yan and the three guests heard the footsteps and all focused their attention on Cao Liang.
"Ziming, you are back. Come, I have met my three uncles." Cao Yan saw his son coming back and waved to him.
It was impossible for Cao Liang to withdraw at this moment, so he had no choice but to step forward and bow and salute: "Cao Liang has met three uncles."
The three guests all looked surprised and said with a smile: "It turns out to be the young Marquis. I didn't expect that I haven't seen him for several years. He is really as handsome as jade."
Cao Liang noticed that although these three people were all wearing dark Han attire, the aura they exuded was rough and heroic, clearly that of a soldier.
The one on the left has a bronze face, short beard and erect eyebrows, and is tall, with a calm and powerful aura; the one on the right has a short stature, dark complexion, and is very strong; the one in the middle is
He has a fair face, a long black beard, and a natural and humble expression.
Cao Yan introduced to Cao Liang: "Ziming, let me introduce you. This is Wen Qin and Wen Zhongruo. He is currently the captain of the Zuo Army of Xiaoqi Camp. You can call him Uncle Wen... This is Qian Hong and Qian Zhongyuan.
The current captain of the right military camp of Xiaoqi camp, you can call him uncle Qian... This is Liu Jing and Liu Wengong, the current captain of the middle military camp of Xiaoqi camp, you can call him uncle Liu."
Cao Liang's eyes suddenly lit up. It turned out that the bronze-faced one was Wen Qin, the dark-faced one was Qianhong, and the fair-faced one was Liu Jing. These three were all famous generals.
Cao Liang was familiar with the Three Kingdoms and had a lot of treasures about the famous generals in each period of the Three Kingdoms. Among the three, the most famous was Wen Qin. He was the vanguard against the Sima clan. He participated in both the Second Huainan Rebellion and the Third Huainan Rebellion. The Second Huainan Rebellion
During the rebellion, he and Guanqiu Jian raised an army to fight against Sima Division. His son Wenyang was even braver than the other three armies and entered the Wei camp alone. Sima Division was frightened and died of a recurrence of eye sores.
However, Wen Qin's fate was also very tragic. After Guanqiu Jian was defeated and died, Wen Qin and his son had no choice but to surrender to Wu. Later, Zhuge Dan rebelled in Huainan. Wen Qin was ordered by Wu to rescue Shouchun. Because he had an old grudge with Zhuge Dan,
He was killed, spent his life as a soldier, and finally died on the battlefield.
And Qianhong was the son of the famous general Qianzhao. He served as the governor of Longxi and served as a subordinate of Deng Ai. He participated in the battle to destroy Shu and served with meritorious service. He later served as the governor of Liangzhou. He was brave but without any plan. He was killed by the barbarians in the north. He died fiercely in
side.
Compared with Wen Qin Qianhong's bravery and fierceness, Liu Jing can be called a Confucian general. He was the son of Liu Fu, the governor of Yangzhou in the late Han Dynasty. He was well-read in poetry and books, and his work style was meticulous and trivial.
The general was also the only one among the three to die a good death.
However, the three of them all made their fortunes in the late Three Kingdoms period. During the early Jing Dynasty, they were just the commanders of the Fifth Army with low official positions, and they all served in the Xiaoqi camp. This time, I am afraid they heard that Cao Cao was appointed Xiaoqi general, so they came to pay a special visit.
Although Cao Yan had been appointed General Xiaoqi a long time ago, he had been busy with the funeral of Emperor Ming in recent days and had not been to the Xiaoqi camp outside the city to perform his duties.
Cao Liang greeted him one by one and called his uncle and uncle one by one with a respectful attitude.
Liu Jing twirled his beard and chuckled: "My good nephew is exempt from courtesy. I wonder where my good nephew can find a job?"
Cao Yan said: "What's the matter with being high? It's just meeting Chong Yulinlang and being on duty in the palace."
Cao Liang cupped his hands and said, "The child has not reported back to his father yet. He was just promoted to the position of Gate Supervisor today."
All three of them had strange expressions on their faces. Wen Qin said: "Tiger's father has no dogs, and his son has been promoted to a seventh-level military general at a young age. He will definitely have a bright future in the future."
Cao Yan snorted heavily and said, "If it's really based on his ability, that's all. I'm afraid it's just because of the legacy of his ancestors. No matter how fast he gets promoted, he won't accomplish anything in the future."
Wen Qin said: "Brother Bo Sheng may have been overly concerned. According to my opinion, Ziming Shen Yi is wise and will be a great talent in the future."
Cao Yan shook his head and said: "These young people today are all rich and noble, and they have no experience in playing with things. They have not experienced the experience of the battlefield. They are lucky that they are not playboys."
Qian Hong was straightforward: "Brother Bo Sheng's words make sense. Nowadays, these officials' sons are all well-dressed and well-fed, and cannot bear the slightest hardship. I think back then, we fought side by side and rode with tigers and leopards to conquer the cold."
Defeat Shu, that is the real gold and iron horse, a bloody battlefield, not from the Shura battlefield, and definitely cannot be regarded as a military general."
Qianhong's words made Cao Yan and others sigh. Cao Yan ordered his servants to prepare a banquet for Wen Qin and the other three, and also asked Cao Liang to accompany him.
Although Cao Yan is now their superior, Wen Qin and others are not constrained by this. After all, they have served together in the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry before, and they can be regarded as life-and-death friends.
After three rounds of drinking, the atmosphere became even more intense. Qian Hong sighed and said: "During the Battle of Xiabian, the four of us were still the hundred-man governor of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. We followed Da Sima to advance thousands of miles and cross the dangerous obstacles of the Qinling Mountains.
The momentum was like a rainbow. Wu Lan, the general of Shu, and Zhang Fei, who was known as the enemy of ten thousand people, were also scurrying around. That battle was really exciting. Especially brother Bo Sheng, who led his troops to the front and was invincible. He was not as good as the weak crown.
He killed the enemy general Lei Tong with his own hands. He is truly a young hero and a role model for our generation."
Cao Yan chuckled and said: "I'm ashamed, I'm going to fight. If Brother Zhongruo hadn't saved me, I would have died in the army. Come, take this glass of wine. I'll first pay tribute to Brother Zhongruo for saving his life."
.”
Wen Qin declined and said: "Brother Bo Sheng is too polite. At that time, the enemy's army was several times larger than ours. The situation was quite critical. If Brother Bo Sheng hadn't been bolder, he decisively cut a bloody path and killed the Shu general Lei Tong, forcing the Shu army to retreat.
If we are defeated without a fight, I am afraid that our troops will all be in danger of their lives. If we are talking about life-saving grace, it should be for us to offer a cup of wine to our brothers."
Liu Jing said: "You guys don't have to respect each other. I think back then, tigers and leopards were so powerful that they could attack and conquer the world. We were lucky enough to be among them and gallop around the world. It was a blessing in life. It's a pity.
, there is no more Tiger and Leopard Cavalry in the world, and the glory of yesterday no longer exists. I propose that we drink this cup together to commemorate the passing of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry!"
Cao Yan, Wen Qin, and Qian Hong all looked dim. After the formation of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry was withdrawn, they were indeed hit hard. Those heroic deeds and heroic deeds of yesterday only remain in the memory as time goes by.
