This was still the time when the first emperor Liu Hong was in power, because the counties north of the Yellow River, including Changshan, Zhaojun, Zhongshan, Shangdang and Hanoi, were all harassed by the Montenegrin army, and the imperial court was unable to send troops to encircle and suppress them.

But I didn't want Zhang Yan to use it here, and the effect was surprisingly good.

After all, the Montenegrin Army can only represent the peasant class that is about to survive, but the Zhonglang generals canonized by the imperial court are enough to reflect the will of the imperial court, and can also attract some poor students, and even make the entire Pengcheng, oh no, it should be the entire Xuzhou Shizi gate valve class will not have a big resistance.

Of course, the righteous battle of returning the way of others is just a knife in Zhang Yan's hand, and his real killer weapon is still his Black Mountain Army and the Huainan elite soldiers under Ji Ling.

At noon on the ninth day of the first month of September, his Montenegrin army took over the county office, city gate, and military camp of Pengcheng with Cao Hong's head and official seal soldiers without blood, as well as the county governance of Lu County, Wu County, Yongqiu, Fuyang, Liuxian and Wuyuan, and Pengcheng changed his surname to Liu Zhang from then on.

And at the beginning of September, when the Jiuhua lanterns were on, after a short repair during the day, he and Ji Ling finally showed their minions to Xiapi and Donghai under Liu Bei's rule.

……

Tan State, originally Xuzhou Donghai County Governance, Tao Qian served as Xuzhou Assassin Shi Prefecture Office, after Liu Bei took power, moved to the territory of Xiapi.

It was already three o'clock in the morning, and Cao Bao, the Taishou of Donghai County, had just laid down on the bed when he was called out by the soldiers outside the door: "Qi Yu Taishou, there is a person outside the door who asks to see, he said that he is your old man, and he has a great wealth for you!" ”

"Isn't the old state in Xuzhou? Their details are clear about the state, what wealth can they send to the state? Cao Bao glanced at his soldiers in surprise, thought about it and got up and walked into the study, "Let him in, since someone has given gifts to Benzhou, you can't let him wait outside!" ”

The soldier nodded and went out quietly, and before he could lead a Taoist priest who was about thirty years old, he walked in. The Taoist priest had a beard on his cheeks, a fleshy face, and a bun on his head, although he was wearing a gray robe, he looked like a butcher.

"Who is your Excellency who dares to pretend to be the old man of this state?" After staring at the half-pillar of incense in a daze, Cao Bao didn't find any clues about this person in his mind, so he simply asked straight to the point.

The Taoist priest sang a song, stepped forward and said: "Ming Gong is really a noble man who forgets things, has Ming Gong forgotten Cao Qingniu when they studied together?" ”

Cao Qingniu?

The silhouette and face of the Taoist priest in front of him were somewhat similar to the slug Cao Qingniu who followed him when he was studying, but so what? If he remembers correctly, this Cao Qingniu is just a concubine of the Cao family in Xuzhou, what wealth can he give to Benzhou?

Cao Bao thought about it for a while, and he already recognized that this person was his former classmate, but his eyes were still very cold: "Cao Qingniu, Benzhou has indeed had a friendship with classmates for several years, but Benzhou has never had a deep friendship with you, since you said that you have wealth to send to Benzhou, it is best not to deceive me, otherwise Benzhou doesn't care about any bullshit classmates before!" ”

Although Cao Bao's words were threatening, Cao Qingniu did not panic, but found a desk chair and swaggered down opposite Cao Bao, and said with a smile: "Ming Gong may not know that Poor Dao is no longer called Cao Qingniu, but has a legal name, called Qingniujiao!" ”

"What does this state care about Cao Qing Niu or Qing Niu Horn, isn't it all a grass-eating bison?" Cao Bao sneered, suddenly stunned, and hurriedly sat up and stared at Cao Qingniu, "You mean your name is Qingniujiao?" But the green horns? ”

"It's that green horn!" Qing Niujiao nodded, regardless of whether the Cao Bao soldiers on the side could understand the dumb riddle of the two of them, and then said, "If Zhang Shuai agrees, does Ming Gong still think that the poor road can bring this wealth to the sky?" ”

Cao Bao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he smiled coldly, and the cold light pierced the green horns: "Green horns, since you and I know each other, then Benzhou will not say secret words, Zhang Shuai has led a million Black Mountain army to fight in Jizhou for more than ten years, and Benzhou believes that he will also have a lot of private jewelry and property."

However, Benzhou heard that Zhang Shuai had already abandoned Jizhou Yuantou Yuan Shu, and clashed with Cao Mengde and Wang Deyu, resulting in heavy casualties, and now he is trapped in Xiangxian County. You said that Zhang Shuai wanted to send Benzhou a rich and rich, didn't he plan to let Benzhou go to Xiangxian to take it personally? ”

Qing Niujiao laughed, and a hint of ridicule hung on the corner of his mouth: "What Ming Gong said is true, but it's a pity that your lord and the soldiers under his command didn't bring you the latest news, right?" To tell you the truth, my marshal and General Ji Ling have already taken off the cage and are now guests in Pengcheng next door to you! ”

"What? Are you saying that Zhang Shuai has already captured Pengcheng? The coldness on Cao Bao's face suddenly disappeared, and he immediately straightened up, pointing at the green horns with a face full of horror.

Qingniujiao shook his head and smiled slightly: "My family commander knows that Poor Dao was originally from the Cao clan in Xuzhou, and he has an old relationship with Ming Gong, so he doesn't want to force you to fight with your sword on the battlefield, so he specially ordered Poor Dao to come and send Ming Gong."

A creation, by the way, reminisce about the old! ”

"Don't want to force each other with swords and send another creation to this state? Joke! Cao Bao slapped it on the desk and let out a long whistle, "Hmph, Qingniujiao, what do you think your handsome man has in mind?" If you want to take away my East China Sea, I'm afraid it's not that easy, right? ”

Qingniujiao was in front of Yuan Shao that day, but today's performance in front of Cao Bao was perfect, and he advanced and retreated freely in his words, and he was more like the master of this Tan country than Cao Bao.

Qingniujiao patted Cao Bao on both shoulders and sat him on the desk chair, poured another glass of water and handed it to Cao Bao, and then said slowly: "Ming Gong, please be calm and don't be impatient, be sure to let Poor Dao finish his words first!" ”

"Hmph, if you want to say it, you can say it, and Honshu didn't sew up your mouth!" Cao Bao glanced at the green bull horn angrily, and leaned back on the desk chair with his sleeves.

Cao Bao sat down, but Qingniujiao stood up: "My family's handsome man has indeed been defeated by Yuan Benchu and Wang Deyu successively, but these two are rare male lords in the world, even if they are defeated for a while, it is not surprising."

What's more, in the city father city that day, my Montenegrin army almost beheaded Cao Mengde under the horse. Now, the whereabouts of His Majesty Fei Ting in the first battle of my Zhong family are unknown, and the marshal and General Ji plan to avenge the Lord and wave more than 100,000 swords at Xuzhou to avenge Liu Bei's provocation of the war. ”

"Hmph, although the heroic and martial arts of Benzhou are not as good as that Cao Mengde, I am afraid that the solidity of the city wall of the Tan Kingdom is far better than that of the city father of the day, right?" Qingniujiao said a sentence about Cao Bao's sore feet, and Cao Bao was so angry that he changed color.

Qingniujiao smiled and said with relief: "Ming Gong, Poor Dao has known you since childhood, and I know that you have great ambitions and lofty ambitions. But Poor Dao wants to ask Ming Gong: Are you willing to be at the mercy of Liu Bei, and bring the old and young people of Tan Guo Mancheng to be buried with the big-eared thief who sells his reputation and reputation?

When the poor road came out, the marshal of my family once said to the poor road: Ming Gong is a talent of a hundred miles, and the big-eared thief is jealous and jealous of abusing his cronies, and he actually gave the original Xia Pi that should have been given to Ming Gong to an unknown Sun Qian, which is really too deceitful! Is it tolerable or unbearable, as long as Ming Gong votes sincerely, my handsome family is willing to give up this Picheng to Ming Gong! ”

"Is that true?" Cao Bao looked at the green horn excitedly, and a fine light shone in his eyes, like a hungry wolf.

Qing Niujiao took out a piece of paper from his arms and nodded solemnly: "Really!" ”

Cao Bao Huo Ran got up, took the letterhead handed over by Qingniujiao and slashed it with a sword: "Benzhou has long looked at the big-eared thief unpleasantly, since Zhang Shuai values Benzhou so much, then Benzhou will turn against him!" ”
