[Three Kingdoms] After offending Wei Guoquan, I went to the peak of my life

It turned out that what Zheng Ping threw on the ground was a bamboo box containing a piece of plain silk.

Cao Cao took out the plain silk, read the words written on it several times, suppressed the shock in his heart, and looked at Zheng Ping inquiringly:

"Is this thing real?"

"Maybe it's fake."

Hearing what Zheng Ping said, Cao Cao believed it a little.

He himself didn't realize that if Zheng Ping directly brought the benefits to him, without asking for it or raising an argument, he would think that Zheng Ping had ulterior motives and believed that the important military information he sent was forged.

Now that Zheng Ping brought up the "claim", he continued to talk back to him impatiently as before, which made Cao Cao trust him subconsciously, and relieved Zheng Ping a lot.

"What do you need?"

This military situation is extremely important to Cao Cao. He will never affect the overall situation because of his personal emotions. Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, he let go of his prejudice against Mi Heng and calmly discussed terms with Zheng Ping.

As for "where did you get this information", "what method did you use to disturb Hou Jun", there is no need to ask such questions, even if they are asked, they are useless.He knew it was impossible for Zheng Ping to tell him.

"My needs should have been informed to Sikong through the messenger."

Zheng Ping repeated what he had said to the messenger before the transmission, "On the way back to my hometown, because I was affected by the confrontation between General Le Jin and Hou Cheng, I lost a lot of property. I feel very sorry, and I have paid back all the horses I lost. I believe that with Sikong's faith, there is no reason why Sikong can't do what Hou Cheng can do."

Cao Cao was startled by Zheng Ping's ability to open his eyes and tell nonsense, and stared for a long time, but he didn't see the slightest unnaturalness on Zheng Ping's face.

"I haven't seen you in half a month. Your ability to make people annoying and annoying is still the same as a virgin. You have a good face."

Then Hou Cheng was still scolding outside the tent and cursing the horse thief. How did he say "Hou Cheng is sorry" and "repay the horses in full" as if nothing had happened?

Zheng Ping said with a smile: "It's not as good as Sikong. Except for the lost chariots and horses, all the other things are souvenirs from Kong Wenju, and gifts that he plans to take back to his hometown to give to his family and fellow villagers. , Gifts are priceless treasures. Losing so many priceless treasures, Heng was heartbroken, so he had no choice but to come to Sikong and express the pain in his heart."

Cao Cao seemed to swallow the table next to him angrily, feeling like he was choking.He didn't see any pain on Zheng Pingping's face. Looking left and right, this bastard almost didn't have the words "looking for trouble" and "touching porcelain" written on his face.

If it wasn't for the important military/information sent by the other party, just scratching Cao Cao's itch, based on what he said just now, Cao Cao would definitely ask someone to throw him out neatly.

Cao Cao weighed the plain silk in his hands, and finally thought about "taking advantage of the short hand", and did not compete with Zheng Ping any more.

"Let's just say it, what do you want to compensate for alone?"

Zheng Ping didn't say any more specious nonsense: "I heard that there is a place under Sikong who is good at smelting, and the weapons forged are precise and sharp. Heng just needs a few sharp weapons for self-defense. I don't know if Sikong can give up his favor?"

If it's gold and silver mansions, fertile land and beautiful jade, Cao Cao will give it as soon as he gives it, without blinking an eye.But Zheng Ping's request was related to weapons/army/equipment, and involved the foundation of standing. Even if the quantity required was not much, Cao Cao couldn't help frowning.

Zheng Ping knew that the craftsmanship of this era is precious, so he didn't force it, but waited patiently for Cao Cao's answer.

Cao Cao thought over and over again, thinking of the importance of the military/information, and thinking of Zheng Ping holding such important information, he could use it to threaten and force himself to make a deal, but Zheng Ping didn't do that.

And to ask for a few excellent weapons/weapons, compared to the importance of this military/condition, this request is not too much at all.

The degree of favorability towards Zheng Ping was infinitely negative, and Cao Cao thought that although Zheng Ping still had an annoying mouth today, he didn't embarrass himself in terms of substance, and secretly thought that Ni Zhengping might not be what he imagined. so annoying.

Thinking of Zheng Ping's rebellion in the Hou army and inadvertently helping him, Cao Cao added a rare and generous sentence:

"Only need a few weapons/weapons? With the value of this news, you can make some other requests."

Zheng Ping didn't expect that Cao Cao would suddenly change his usual targeting and sarcasm, and he was thinking of him, persuading him to make more demands. Like Cao Cao, he felt very uncomfortable. He couldn't help but wonder if Cao Cao didn't sleep well last night, his head was dizzy, and Or have other plans.

He pondered Cao Cao's words carefully, and it didn't take long for him to understand why Cao Cao said that, so he clarified:

"Sikong seems to have misunderstood something. The reason why Heng came to send this military/love is not to ask for a reward, but to return the favor."

Seeing that Cao Cao was thinking about the word "humanity", Zheng Ping bluntly said: "Don't think about it, it's not you."

He didn't care about Cao Cao's face, he actually inherited the original owner's behest, and repeatedly tested Cao Cao's anger, "Sikong must not be sentimental."

The illusion of harmony was thus broken, and Cao Cao blamed without hesitation: "Since it is a favor, why do you still ask for weapons/arms?"

What answered him was a strange gaze from Zheng Ping: "Didn't you tell Sikong that I lost a lot of property because of Sikong's battle with the enemy, so I came to ask Sikong for compensation?"

Capturing the look in the eyes of a forgetful old man, Cao Cao resisted the urge to spray him in the face, and held down his hand, which was attracted by the saber and intended to cut someone.

He shouldn't have said so much to this little bastard!

Repeatedly chanting "for the sake of the army/love and reputation, we must maintain the image of a lenient lord", Cao Cao suppressed his violent anger, and ordered the soldiers to go to the military equipment department to bring his sharp green sword.

"When you're out on an expedition, you shouldn't move your weapons lightly. I'll give you the idle Qingzhi sword first, and for the rest of the weapons, when the war is over, you can make a list and go to Xudu to get them."

After finishing the business-like explanation, Cao Cao didn't want to say a word to Zheng Ping.

Zheng Ping also accepted as soon as he saw it, and did not stimulate Cao Cao's nerves.

Several soldiers near the main tent heard the faint sound of arguing.Later, when the personal guard came, he asked why, and learned that Cao Cao had sent someone to fetch the Qingzhi sword.

One of the soldiers is Cao Pi's personal soldier, and he is a bit clever on weekdays.Hearing this news, he quickly completed the logic based on his previous deeds, and immediately rushed to Cao Pi's tent to report the "truth" he had made up to Cao Pi.

"...Mi Heng was taken to the main camp, and quarreled with Sikong. Sikong asked to bring up the Qingzhi sword, saying that the sword on his waist was not sharp enough, and he wanted to use the Qingzhi sword to cut off Mi Heng's head."

Cao Pi was shocked when he heard the words, and stood up suddenly: "Father wants to kill you Heng!?"

In the same camp, Guo Jiaben came to discuss logistics with Cao Pi, and was taken aback when he heard what the soldiers said.

Immediately, his eyes froze, and with a bit of coldness, he locked on the soldier: "Is this true?"

The soldier said without thinking: "Of course it is true."

"The lord is open-minded and self-controlled, and can tolerate what others can't bear. If he wants to raise his sword to kill Mi Heng, he must be so angry and be swayed by impulsive intentions. If the lord is so impulsive that he loses his mind, how can he care about the blade in his hand?" Whether it is sharp or not, can it cut off someone's head with one knife?"

The soldier was stunned for a moment, and looked suspiciously at Cao Pi. He panicked, not daring to say that it was his own clever speculation, so he had to argue, "Maybe it's not necessarily a threat to intimidate you..."

Guo Jia laughed, clicked to stop, and stopped talking.

Cao Pi heard the clue, and kicked the soldier angrily: "How dare you, you actually fabricated the facts and deliberately arranged the coach? What is your intention!"

The soldier didn't know which sentence he had revealed, so he quickly lay down on the ground, fighting with each other: "I never meant that, I just missed the news..."

"You are always showing off. I think you are smart, but I don't think you are smart. If you are so self-assertive, I will keep you here. You can get ten military sticks yourself."

Chasing away the frightened soldiers who were rolling and crawling, after Cao Pi returned to the case, the old god sighed on the ground.

"Why is Second Young Master sighing?"

"My ability to know people has not inherited a single bit of my father's."

"Second Young Master, if you think that there is no such person in the lord's tent, then you are wrong."

A rare look of surprise appeared on Cao Pi's mature and steady face.

"For the lord, everyone is available, and that's exactly what he is doing - only his talents, and nothing else. Use his talents to monitor his virtues, and use his talents without being deceived by the other party. This is the way to be superior. "

After hearing this passage, Cao Pi couldn't help but think of a counterexample, and questioned: "Everyone is available? But you Zhengping—father didn't use him."

Guo Jia's smile deepened: "How do you know—the lord is not using him, rather than looking for a way to use him?"

Zheng Ping walked out of Cao Cao's tent, with a green sword pinned to his waist, his steps were windy.

He was taken to a tent that had just been laid by the soldiers, and before he had rested for a long time, someone came to look for him.

The person who came to him was none other than Li Jin who gave him an unpalatable roasted sparrow.

As soon as Li Jin stepped into the tent, he saw the eye-catching sword on Zheng Ping's waist, so he couldn't help but take a few more glances.

"Where did it come from?"

"It's a trick."

Li Jincai didn't believe him, so he moved a hard rock outside as a touchstone, and encouraged him to test his sword.

Zheng Ping didn't pay attention to him at first, but he also wanted to try the feel of the new weapon, so he drew out the edge of the green sword and pressed lightly against the stone.

Like cutting tofu, the stone becomes two pieces.

Zheng Ping couldn't help being surprised.

The name of the sword held by Cao Cao is not described in the history books. The name of Qingzhi Sword comes from "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".When Zheng Ping first got the sword, although he knew it was very sharp, he never thought it could be so sharp.

It is indeed as said in "The Romance", it cuts iron like mud, and it can be called a peerless sharp blade.

Li Jin stared at the sword, his eyes were as red as a rabbit.

"Don't you want my dagger? I think I can give you now..."

Zheng Ping put his sword back into its sheath without hesitation: "You're thinking about farting."

Li Jin was startled by a discordant word that suddenly appeared, blinked, and repeated slowly and inconceivably: "What did you just say?"

"Wuhe. You came here just to watch me test my sword?"

Li Jin stared dissatisfied at his attitude of pretending nothing had happened after saying the discordant words.He wanted to separate ways carefully, but felt that there was really nothing to say about this matter.

He said to Zheng Ping: "Of course not, I didn't know you came back with a sharp sword."

Li Jin paused, then suddenly lowered his voice, and said to Zheng Ping: "You are your false surname, right? Your name is 'Heng', then do you have a younger brother... whose name is 'Xuan'?"
