At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Because Zhu Jun was from Kuaiji, and because of this relationship, Guo Peng's name was also known by Jiangdong people, and after Cai Yong avoided disaster in Jiangdong, Jiangdong people knew the deep friendship between Cai Yong and Guo Peng.

Later, because of the correspondence between Guo Peng and Cai Yong, Guo Peng's affairs were often publicized by Cai Yong to his disciples, so he indirectly helped Guo Peng to publicize his reputation in Jiangdong.

For example, after the Battle of the Yellow Turban, Guo Peng also defeated the Xianbei leader Helian, killed Helian, and revived the prestige of the great Han in northern Xinjiang, which is very famous.

Therefore, Gu Yong is also quite familiar with Guo Peng's affairs, but Guo Peng is far away in the north, why did he come to Jiangdong?

Cai Yong happily explained the whole story, and Gu Yong knew that Guo Peng was already the prefect of Bianjun and General Zhonglang of two thousand shi.

And Guo Peng is only 23 years old, three years older than Gu Yong, but he is already famous all over the world and has made great achievements.

Gu Yong couldn't help making a comparison between the two, and suddenly felt that the gap between the two was really not as big as usual.

"Teacher, when Guo Fujun arrives, can the students accompany the teacher to greet him?"

Gu Yong really wanted to see what kind of demeanor this outstanding peer was like.

"Naturally."

Cai Yong nodded happily.

So Cai Yong counted the days looking forward to Guo Peng's arrival, thinking about it day and night, and his behavior was obviously different from the past, so that the eldest daughter Cai Yan and the second daughter Cai Wan could see that something was wrong with their father.

So when Cai Yong was playing the piano one day, the two went to ask their father.

"Father's piano sound is different from the past, quite passionate, I don't know what happened?"

Although Cai Yan was not yet an adult, he was very intelligent. Cai Yong taught Cai Yan his skills in calligraphy, painting and piano, as well as the scriptures he had read and the works he wrote. Cai Yan's memory Very good, I can write down a lot, which makes Cai Yong very happy.

However, it would be even better if Cai Yan was not a girl but a boy.

Countless times, Cai Yong had this idea, but he was already very old, and he didn't want to think too much about this aspect. He didn't have a son, so he adopted one person from the clan to inherit the incense.

Of course, if you really want to adopt, it's not now.

Cai Yong was very satisfied to see that Cai Yan heard the emotion contained in the sound of his piano.

"Why don't you guess, why are you happy for your father?"

Cai Yan and Cai Wan looked at each other.

"Did one of my father's best apprentices make my father happy?"

"Father got a very precious gift?"

Both Cai Yan and Cai Wan's guesses were reasonable, but Cai Yong shook his head together.

"These things that make my father happy on weekdays are added together, ten times, almost comparable to my father's current happiness."

Cai Yong's face was full of joy, he beckoned his two daughters over, and asked Cai Yan, "Although you are still young, Ah Yan, do you still remember Guo Zifeng?"

"Guo Zifeng?"

Both Cai Yan and Cai Wan were a little surprised.

It's not because of memory, Cai Yong and Guo Peng were only three years old when they parted, and less than four years old, how could they have such a clear memory?

In fact, Cai Yong was very happy every time he received letters and gifts from Guo Peng over the years, and he pulled his two daughters to tell them about Guo Peng, which was too much.

After Guo Peng learned that Cai Yong had two daughters, he gave more gifts every year. Cai Yong would give Cai Yan and Cai Wan some of the beautiful gadgets. Called two daughters to eat together.

So both Cai Yan and Cai Wan knew that there was someone like Guo Peng, who was a person who gave gifts to his father but didn't show up.

Chapter 144. 140

According to Cai Yong, Cai Yan also knew that when he was young, Guo Peng had risked his life to fight against the assassins to protect their family, otherwise their family would be in trouble.

So it can be regarded as the role of a lifesaver, and Guo Peng was only 13 years old at the time.

Sister Cai Yan was very curious about this past event, and also about Guo Peng.

"Didn't father say that Mr. Guo was an official in Shanggu County, the northernmost part of the Han Dynasty? How could he come to Wu County, which is thousands of miles away?"

Cai Yan felt very curious.

"You shouldn't be called Guo Jun now, Ayan, Awan, remember, Zifeng is now the prefect of Shanggu, you should be called Guo Fujun."

Cai Yong smiled and said: "Before, there was a large-scale rebellion of tens of 10 people in Youzhou. Zifeng led the army to put down the rebellion and made great achievements. Now it is Huwuwan Zhonglang and the prefect of Shanggu. Now Zifeng is two Official Qianshi, the head of the generals in Youzhou, is not what it used to be!"

Cai Wan was still a little dazed, but Cai Yan had already been taught this knowledge, so she was very surprised and covered her mouth.

"Guo... Mr. Guo Fu should only be 23 years old?"

"Yes!"

Cai Yong sighed and said: "But Zifeng's achievements are real and indelible. The weak champion joined the army and fought in battle. This achievement was earned by his life. Zifeng was strong and brave since he was a child. I have known for a long time. He will definitely achieve great things, and now it seems that it is as it should be! With Zifeng here, the great man will have no worries in the northern border!"

Cai Yan didn't expect his father to think so highly of Guo Peng.

In the whole world, the first Guo Peng to blow is Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu's blow made Guo Peng's statement in the Central Plains, and also led a large group of people to blow together.

And the second Guo Pengchui is Cai Yong, and Cai Yong's blowing made Guo Peng famous in Jiangdong.

If Yuan Shu's bragging has various purposes, such as using Guo Peng's fame to make himself more famous and attracting more rangers to associate with him, then Cai Yong's bragging comes from his appreciation and appreciation for Guo Peng. Appreciative, spontaneous acts.

Thanks to Cai Yong's boasting in Jiangdong for ten years, Guo Peng and Guo Zifeng's name is well known in Jiangdong's gentry circle.

Everyone in Jiangdong knows the past of Guo Peng and Cai Yong.

Why did he fight against the cruel official Yangqiu in order to rescue Cai Yongyique, and he did not hesitate to be whipped and injured by him.

What else is there to spare no effort to kill an assassin to protect Cai Yong's family?

Then after learning about Yang Qiu's plot to assassinate Cai Yong, he rushed back to Luo Yang to write a letter for the second time, and successfully brought down Yang Qiu.

Afterwards, Cai Yong was sent thousands of miles to protect him, from Luoyang to Wuyuan, and from Wuyuan to Jiangdong.

Guo Peng is basically included in what Cai Yong often says.

For example, "If there is no son and phoenix, there will be no self."

Another example is "Back then, Zifeng sent him off thousands of miles regardless of hardships and dangers, beheading the assassins and protecting me, thinking about it now, I still sigh."

There is also "there is no one in the world who values ​​love and affection more than Zifeng".

Cai Yong also likes to compare Guo Penglai with the Jiangdong disciples.

Talk about what happened to Guo Peng when he was 12 years old, what happened when Guo Peng was 13 years old, and what happened when he was 20 years old.

The image of a child from other people's family who is affectionate, brave and fearless is established.

In addition, Guo Peng's performance on the battlefield these years has been praised by Cai Yong, and Guo Peng's reputation in Jiangdong is even more significant than in the Central Plains.

If it is said that Cai Yong's bragging in front of outsiders should be charged a little bit so as not to go too far, but in front of his own family, Cai Yong's bragging about Guo Peng is not concealed at all.

Cai Yan and Cai Wan were looking forward to the arrival of this celebrity who was hyped up by their father with full curiosity.

Then Guo Peng came.

Since sea communication was inconvenient and the exact date of arrival was unknown, Guo Peng did not notify Cai Yong, lest Cai Yong make a trip for nothing.

Anyway, I have envoys who have been sending gifts to Cai Yong back and forth between the two places in the past, they are familiar with the road, so let them lead the way, it's the same.

Cai Yong originally wanted to go to the port to meet Guo Peng in person, but he didn't get the news of Guo Peng's arrival date, so he was as anxious as an ant on a pot lid, asking Zifeng why he didn't come today and tomorrow why Zifeng didn't come, Mrs. Cai was about to have a nervous breakdown from tormenting Cai Yong.

Fortunately, before that, Guo Peng came.

Cai Yong's family lived in the county town of Wu County. Before Guo Peng and his entourage drove into Wu County, he also had a little taste of the customs and customs of Jiangdong.

In Jiangdong, Guo Peng saw many merchant ships coming and going, as well as fishing boats going out to sea for fishing. The blue sky and white clouds created a peaceful atmosphere.

After staying in the Northland for a long time, Guo Peng is used to the cold and arid life in the Northland. When he first came to the hot Jiangdong at the end of August, he was really not used to it.

The guards around said that it was very hot here, so they hurriedly took off their extra clothes and drank water. Guo Peng couldn't bear the scorching heat, so he wiped his sweat and took a few sips of water.

Follow the road to Wu County, and after about half a day, Guo Peng arrived at the gate of Cai Yong's house in Wu County.

It seems that the gentry in Wudi still took good care of Cai Yong and took good care of his life.

Indeed, famous and capable people are not afraid to travel all over the world, and they can live anywhere.

Guo Peng asked someone to hand over the greeting card, and stood at the door waiting by himself, wanting to surprise Cai Yong.

Soon, Guo Peng heard shouts such as "Where is Zifeng" and "Is Zifeng you" coming from the gate.

The surprise was successful, and Guo Peng was very happy.

But to be honest, the moment Cai Yong's voice, which matched his memory, sounded after ten years of absence, Guo Peng suddenly felt as if he had passed away.

This is ten years?

The ten years have passed too fast, haven't they?

When Cai Yong appeared in front of Guo Peng, Guo Peng looked up and saw that Cai Yong's face was slightly older and haggard than ten years ago, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

The words he had thought up on the way were completely forgotten in just this moment.

Cai Yong ran out in a hurry, and when he saw Guo Peng, he was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't recognize Guo Peng, then looked at Guo Peng carefully, and then seemed to find something from him that could prove his Something about her identity made her eye circles turn red all of a sudden.

I haven't seen him for ten years, Cai Yong's appearance is still the same, he will no longer develop, but Guo Peng has gone through the most intense development period, and his appearance has changed a lot.

Guo Peng was 13 years old when the two parted. Now Guo Peng is 23 years old. He has changed from a teenager to a young man. He has changed in height, weight and appearance. He has a beard on his chin and lips, and his temperament has become more stable.

In this situation, I haven't seen each other for ten years, and there is a slight deviation in memory, that is, we meet each other but don't know each other, and ask where we come from with a smile.

The two looked at each other silently for a while, until the tears in Cai Yong's eyes fell like broken beads, Guo Peng couldn't help but stepped forward to Cai Yong, and bowed to the ground.

"Student Guo Peng, I have met Mr. Cai. I haven't seen him in ten years. How is Mr. Cai?"

Chapter 145 .140 five brief reunion

Seeing Guo Peng, Cai Yong stretched out his trembling hands, trying to help Guo Peng up.

But halfway through the stretch, he hesitated for a moment, then stretched out again, grabbed Guo Peng's hands, and helped him up.

"Little B...you...you have grown up..."

The sound of Xiao Yi almost called Guo Peng back to Luo Yang ten years ago, and Guo Peng's nose felt a little sour.

With great difficulty holding back his tears, Guo Peng straightened up and raised his head. Just about to speak, he was shocked to find that he could already look down on Cai Yong.

Cai Yong also seemed to be taken aback, and it took him a while to smile.

"You have also grown taller, much taller than the old man."

Cai Yong held Guo Peng's hand tightly: "I haven't seen you for ten years, little... Zifeng, very good, very good!"

Cai Yong pursed his lips, but couldn't stop the tears from pouring out. Guo Peng also pursed his lips, his eye circles were red, and it took him a while to laugh.

"I haven't seen you for ten years. It's a great joy. Why are you crying?"

"Yes, yes, it's a matter of great joy, no tears, no tears!"

Cai Yong hurriedly wiped his tears with his sleeve, then grabbed Guo Peng's hand and led Guo Peng to the gate of the mansion.

As soon as he entered the mansion, Cai Yong yelled at his wife uncharacteristically, saying that Zifeng is here, hurry up and prepare the banquet, he wants to get drunk with Zifeng before going to bed, anyway, he is quite excited.

Mrs. Cai appeared soon, she was surprised to see Guo Peng, she hurriedly greeted Guo Peng to enter the main hall, and then told her family to prepare a banquet.

At the banquet, Cai Yong and Guo Peng talked about the past, praised Guo Peng's current achievements, asked Guo Peng's experience in the north, the story of leading troops, and the danger of the battlefield.

I haven't seen you for ten years, I have too much to say, and I drink while talking, and I can't take care of anything.

I drank it for more than two hours, and I drank it until it was dark, and I drank it on the same table, and then I drank too much.

At some point, Guo Peng fell asleep in a daze and lost consciousness.

When I opened my eyes again, I found that I was asleep on the bed, wearing underwear, my hair bun was taken off, and my head still hurt a little.

"Come on."

Guo Peng climbed up with his arms propped up, sat on the bed, and called people in reflexively according to the rules he used when he was guarding the border in the north.

When he was guarding the border in the north, he usually got up in the barracks in the morning, and there were guards at the door.

According to his rules, the soldiers would bring him water for washing, and he would wash in the tent.
