Chapter 126: The Way Home
Using a treaty to restrain the Qiang people, this is actually Ma Teng's idea, if according to Cao Xing's meaning, while Zou Geyun and others are all in their hands, they will simply be wiped out, so as to eliminate future troubles forever, but Ma Teng shook his head quite resolutely about this, seeing Ma Teng and Ma Chao's actions, Cao Xing's heart also had a hint of clarity.
The reason why Ma Teng can't bear to kill these people is also very simple, Ma Teng's first wife is also a Qiang person, and Ma Chao's blood has half of the blood of the Qiang people, so they still have some feelings for ordinary people, so they can't bear to kill them all.
That's why there was the scene of Zou Geyun's alliance in Chengcheng, since Zou Geyun had signed the alliance, then the rest of the matter was handled by Ma Teng and others, Cao Xuan could leave it alone, but Cao Xuan patted Zou Geyun on the shoulder before walking out of the barracks.
"Don't worry, Xiaoman will leave it to me, govern your country well, I hope there will be no more wars in the future!"
When Zou Geyun heard this, the whole person was startled, and hurriedly looked back at Cao Xing, but at this moment, Cao Xuan had already drifted away.
Everyone stayed here for half a month, and it took half a month to return to Beidi County the same way, so far, Cao Xing and others should almost go back, before parting, Ma Teng, Ma Chao and others all came to see Cao Xing off.
"Cao Xing, if you need anything in the future, just come to Fufeng and find me Ma Teng!" Ma Teng has a very good impression of Cao Xing, so he speaks very cheerfully.
And Ma Chao came up and directly hit Cao Xuan with his fist: "Good brother, remember to come to Xiliang often in the future, my Ma Chao is welcome at any time!" ”
"Okay, you can also come to my state, and I'll show you the style of the state!"
Ma Chao and Cao Xuan looked at each other and smiled, and then Cao Xing said goodbye to everyone, and then left Beidi County with people, when everyone went back, they had slowed down, Cao Xing asked everyone to let the horse go forward in place, so that there was no need to charge again, and Cao Xing also took a carriage and let Zou Man ride in it, after all, there were women on the march, and it was really inconvenient.
Because Cao Xing and the others walked relatively easily this time, it took more than 20 days to finally return to Bianyun County. Before he entered the city, Cao Xing, who was far away, saw Duan Ke Fengyun and the others already there to greet him.
Cao Xing also sighed in his heart, and after more than five months, he finally returned to the place he had not seen for a long time.
Cao Xuan dismounted and greeted everyone one by one, and then entered the city, Duan Ke had long been in the city, and Cao Xuan and the others drank bitterly on the night of the banquet.
In the five months that Cao Xing left, the situation in Bianyun County was good, originally before leaving, Cao Xing also specially told Feng Yun that he must pay close attention to Duan Ke, Feng Yun also followed what Cao Xing said at the beginning, for fear that Duan Ke would make something unfavorable to them, but Duan Ke seemed to have made up his mind this time, and now he has offended many families in Bingzhou, and if he wants to live, then he can only stand on the same front with Cao Xing.
Therefore, with Duan Ke's support, the order of Bianyun County is disordered but not disorderly.
"Hahaha, Brother Cao, congratulations on your success in regaining the Holy Decree this time, and you are going to be promoted to the Jiuyuan County Guard!" At the banquet, Duan Ke couldn't help but congratulate Cao Xing, hearing this, everyone's eyes widened, and they looked at Cao Xuan with hope on their faces.
The people at this table can be said to be grasshoppers on a rope with Cao Xing, whether it is Fengyun Chen Hu, or Liu Wan or Ma Fu, if Cao Xing rises and the boat rises, then they will also gain momentum together.
However, when Cao Xuan heard this, the smile on his face immediately froze, he slowly put down the wine glass, and the eyes that looked at everyone became meaningful, everyone is you look at me, I look at you, and they all feel that something unusual is about to happen.
On the second day, Cao Xing asked Fengyun to go back, since he has returned to Bianyun County now, then all the affairs of Bianyun County will be handed over to him.
After a short time, an official ran in and told Cao Xing that Che Wu asked to see him, Cao Xuan nodded, let the little official go down first, and then looked at Zou Man next to him with a smile: "Xiao Man, you go out first!" ”
Zou Man knew that Cao Xuan must have something to deal with, so he nodded obediently and walked out, and after a while, Che Wu came in, but there was a young man next to Che Wu.
After a few months, Che Wu's body seemed to be stronger, the contours of his face were more distinct, and his eyes were shrewd.
Looking at Che Wu, Cao Xing couldn't help but nodded, and Che Wu also smiled, and hugged his fist to Cao Xing: "Lord, I heard that you returned from a big victory this time and recaptured the holy decree, and my subordinates are sincerely happy for you, but it's a pity that there happened to be something important yesterday, so I will meet you in person in the future!" ”
And Cao Xuan hurriedly went down to support Che Wu, smiled and patted Che Wu's shoulder, Che Wu's weight is the same as Chen Hu Fengyun and others, of course, the number of times it appeared in front of everyone, it seems that there are not as many as Chen Hu and Fengyun, if you ask the reason, Cao Xuan also has some self-blame in his heart, because he has worked Che Wu, and the current Che Wu is equivalent to its dark part.
Cao Xuan was influenced by Qin Ye in Bianyun County before, and the reason why Qin Ye has great powers is very related to his intelligence sources, so Cao Xuan also wants to establish an intelligence department by himself, so that he can grasp the surrounding dynamics at the first time, so that he can grasp a great initiative, and this matter fell on Che Wu's body, because of the secrecy of Che Wu's work, so he rarely appeared in front of everyone.
Cao Xuan asked Che Wu and the others to sit down, and then he also returned to the main seat, and the two got to the point.
"Che Wu, when I was still in Xiliang, I had already sent a letter quickly, you have received it!"
And Che Wu nodded with a smile, and then said to Cao Xing: "Lord, when I received your news, I did as soon as you told me, I went to Luoyang and collected all the information you need!" ”
Speaking of this, Che Wu did not continue, but looked at the young man next to him, and the meaning was obvious, that is, to let the young man report.
Cao Xuan also smiled and nodded when he saw this, what Che Wu did was very important, so he naturally had to choose some subordinates he trusted, but when Cao Xuan looked at the young man again, he always felt that the young man seemed familiar, and he was not from Bianyun County.
In fact, this young man was originally a gangster in Bianyun County, and everyone called him Li Erdanzi, but in the battle against the Qiang people, he watched his brothers die in front of him one by one, and he was completely enlightened.
After Cao Xuan took power, he joined the army of Bianyun County, and was finally favored by Che Wu, so he went to Che Wu's side to do things.
"Lord Cao, subordinate Li Yu, I went to Luoyang with Lord Che Wu some time ago, and got the following information, the person you want to investigate is named Wu Fu, the current captain of the Yue Cavalry, is the subordinate of the general He Jin, in charge of the guards at the north gate of the palace, and there are almost more than a thousand people under his hands!"
"Because the place where Wu Fu guards is close to the palace, she has more or less connections in the palace, and it is said that he spent a lot of money on the ten permanent servants, and the ten permanent servants are also very satisfied, so tell the emperor about your exploits in his ear, maybe the emperor also approved this holy decree on a whim!"
After listening to Li Yu's report, Cao Xuan nodded, Li Yu's answer did not disappoint him, although Li Yu still doesn't know why Wu Fu wants to promote Cao Xing, but Cao Xuan also knows this, maybe it is not something that Li Yu and others can do, what others are thinking, even if Che Wu and Li Yu want to break their heads, they may not necessarily want to get it.
But having said that, Cao Xing is still very concerned about this Wufu, after all, he and Wufu are not related, why should Wufu help him, Wufu's official position in Beijing, in the final analysis, is an official position at the grassroots level, just a small captain, but because he is in charge of the military and guards the gate of the palace, he will have some status.
But Cao Xing felt that compared with his current identity and Wu Fu's identity, how could this Wu Fu think of helping Cao Xing ask for credit? After all, Cao Xuan is not related to him, but Cao Xuan still thought of a fact at a certain moment, that is, Qin Ye who has passed.
At the beginning, Qin Ye told Cao Xing, let Cao Xuan not panic, he had already arranged a back road for Cao Xing, Cao Xuan was thinking about this Wu Fu, it was not the back road arranged by Qin Ye for him, if this is the case, then this Wu Fu should also be a member of the Mo family.
Now everything is just conjecture and needs to be ascertained, so Cao Xuan is not very anxious, he waved his hand and was just about to tell Che Wu and the others to go down, but Cao Xuan saw that Che Wu and the others were a little hesitant on their faces, as if there was something that had not been reported.
"Hehe, what's wrong with Che Wu? If you have any difficulties, just say it! ”
Hearing this, Che Wu's face twitched, and he didn't seem to know how to speak, but it was still Li Yu's newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers, he glanced at Cao Xuan and then said directly.
"My lord, there was another big event when we were in Luoyang, that is, Emperor Han Ling died!"
"Emperor Han Ling has died!" These six words have been echoing in Cao Xing's ears, Cao Xing's expression is a little wooden, and he didn't believe it until a long time, and finally reacted, he Huo Ran got up, threw down the brush in his hand, and shouted loudly.
"Li Yu, do you know what you're talking about!"
Cao Xuan said this, which really startled Li Xu, Li Yu directly weakened his legs and knelt on the ground, at this moment he seemed to know the seriousness of the matter, and Che Wu also quickly stood up from his position, knelt on the same line with Li Xu, and saw him arch his hand to Cao Xing.
"My lord, this matter is true!"
