Dali Temple, located in the new Chang'an City Suzaku Gate. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The weather is strict and particularly solemn. This is the place where the world is in charge of the prison, and it is also the judicial lifeline of the Great Wei Empire.

When Cao Peng came to Dali Temple, he happened to meet Feng Chaomen.

This Feng Chao is also the old retainer next to Deng Ji! His father was originally a county magistrate in Haixi County, but was later killed by pirates. Feng Chao took a group of patrols, and in order to avoid pursuit, he had to be thieves in the mountains. Later, Deng Ji went to Haixi as an official and subdued Feng Chao. With his superb archery skills, he quickly gained a foothold. and followed Deng Ji all the way north from Haixi, and made countless meritorious contributions in Bingzhou.

Most of the people who followed Deng Ji and Cao Peng with Feng Chao at the beginning have already come to prominence.

Even Hu Ban also took the position of Hexi Taishou.

Originally, when Deng Ji returned to Chang'an, he intended to make a proper arrangement for Feng Chao. With Feng Chao's merits and Deng Ji's status, even if he arranges an important position in the capital of the Five Armies, it is not a big problem.

But Feng Chao was unwilling, and finally chose to come to Chang'an with Deng Ji.

Now, Feng Chao is serving as a straight man in Dali Temple and is an inconspicuous official. But the entire Dali Temple knows that this Dali Temple is up to the left and right Shaoqing, down to the subordinates, and no one can offend Feng Chao. That's Deng Ji's henchman! If it weren't for being illiterate and ignorant of criminal laws, it would be a position for a young secretary.

Feng Chao didn't have much, but Deng Ji gave him countless rewards.

Therefore, he also bought a house in Chang'an, which is considered a small net worth. On weekdays, even some officials don't dare to offend Feng Chao.

"Princess, why did you come here late at night?"

Feng Chao hurriedly saluted Cao Peng.

Cao Peng smiled, "My eldest brother is still handling official business?" ”

"Yes, today the Eastern Capital sent a prison, and the implication is widespread.

The old man was checking in the public house, and I just persuaded him to go back, but he was also reprimanded. The prince came just in time, and the lord has been too tired these days. You take him back and let him get some rest. ”

This Hou Mansion is up and down, I'm afraid Feng Chao dares to speak like this.

Cao Peng nodded and asked Feng Chao to take him to the public house. I saw that the lights in the room were a little dim, and Deng Ji was lying on the desk, flipping through the official documents. Hearing someone coming in, Deng Ji suddenly shouted impatiently: "I said that I would disturb him, how can I still ...... Hey? Ah Fu, why did you come here? Is your sister suing again? ”

Deng Ji said, got up and bypassed the bookcase and welcomed Cao Peng into the room.

Feng Chao brightened the lights a lot, and then went out with Wang Shuang to guard.

It's been a year since I returned to Chang'an...... Deng Ji looked even more haggard and thin than when he was in the annexation state.

Cao Peng was dissatisfied: "Brother-in-law, you can't do this.

The combination of work and rest, there is tension and relaxation is the right way. Working so hard every day, don't you want my sister to be widowed?

If you don't pay attention again, I will tell Your Majesty and let him remove you from the post of Dali Temple. ”

"I'm going back, I'm going back."

Deng Ji couldn't help laughing.

He cares a lot about this position...... You must know that Deng Ji first learned criminal law. Later, by chance, he became a local magistrate. But in his heart, the place he most wanted to go to was the predecessor of this Dali Temple, Tingwei.

Unfortunately, he has a disability and has not been satisfied.

finally arrived at his favorite place, and naturally forgot to sleep and eat and work.

But he also knew that Cao Peng was thinking about him.

Bringing Cao Peng a cup of honey water, Deng Ji sat down and patted his head gently, "It's not that I don't want to go back, it's just that there are too many criminal cases...... Many criminal cases have to be re-processed, so they are a little busy.

By the way, why are you here tonight? ”

Cao Peng didn't answer immediately, but after thinking twice, he asked, "Brother-in-law, what do you think of Wang Shuang?" ”

"Wang Shuang? Certainly not bad. ”

Deng Ji looked at Cao Peng suspiciously, a little incomprehensible.

saw Cao Peng take out a list from his arms and handed it to Deng Ji.

There are three people at the beginning of the list, namely Wang Shuang, Shi A, and Zhu Dao. On the cover of the directory, there is a word 'dark' written on it.

Deng Ji said: "What is this? ”

"I have eight hundred and seventy-three people under my command, and their names are all on it.

These are the faithful men who obey only my commands. Now the dark man is divided into two parts, one is in Xingyang, and they are all raw melons and eggs, which are useless. And the other part, that is, these people on the roster. I have secretly placed them at the foot of Jiming Mountain, and Shi Ah is responsible for training......

Today, the dark man is also handed over to his brother. ”

Deng Ji, the spirit of the spirit shuddered.

"Ah Fu, is something wrong?"

Cao Peng shook his head, got up and took off a piece of gold-inlaid jade dragon pendant from his waist and put it in front of Deng Ji.

"I'm ready to leave Chang'an."

"What?"

"I remember when I left Goguryeo, a friend once said something to me: when the water is full, it overflows, and it is too much.

It is precisely because of this that I refused to fight bravely in the battle of Yizhou.

The first emperor left me idle, and there was no resentment against me, but secretly grateful. But now, I have the first sword of Tiangang, and I am the first emperor to trust the lonely minister. Worship the general, holding the world's soldiers and horses, even Xun Wenruo, when dealing with government affairs, he has to consult with me. It can be said that under one person, above ten thousand......

However, it is not cold in the heights.

I'm a little scared...... I am afraid that my power will bring trouble to our family. I stayed in Chang'an, like a caged bird. So after thinking about it, only by leaving can the family prosper.

But when I left, I had to worry about my brother-in-law.

Xiao Rui is not happy in the palace, and he is more concerned by the Quartet. That's not what I wanted...... However, he was passed on to His Majesty at the beginning, and he wanted to take it back, but it was impossible. I'll leave the dark man to my brother-in-law, please protect Xiao Rui well. Xiao Di is married, and will return to Chang'an in the near future, and I will try to make him the captain of Fengche and walk around the palace. Boyo and Bolong are both grown up and can secretly protect Rui.

In short, before I leave, I will try my best to plan for Xiao Rui.

But after I leave, I have to ask your brother-in-law to take care of everything. ”

With that, Cao Peng got up and gave Deng Ji a deep look......

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

In the early summer of the second year of Taiping, it was reported from northern Xinjiang that Kebineng colluded with Ding Ling and Hujie people to make chaos in Lingzhou.

Xincheng County, attacked by the Xianbei people.

Two villages and towns were destroyed, with as many as 1,000 dead and wounded......

Cao Hong, the governor of the prefecture, immediately sent troops to the rescue, but the Xianbei people fled without a trace.

Cao Hong was furious, and led his troops around the West Sea, forcibly crossed the Ganwei River, and tried to attack Kebineng. However, just as he was about to launch a decisive battle, Hujieren suddenly appeared from behind him, attacked Xianbei back and forth, and defeated Cao's army.

Fortunately, Hexi County Taishou Huban and Xianbei King Suli sent troops to rescue Cao Hong.

But this battle made Cao Hong emboldened, and he led his troops to retreat to the state, not daring to ask about Lingzhou again.

It was early autumn.

The war in Jiangdong also changed for the better.

Pound Zhou Cang Yangfu, after the initial run-in, launched another attack on Jiangdong.

At the same time, Cao Zhen of Hefei also commanded soldiers and horses, and fought a bloody battle with the Eastern Wu army. Killed several generals of Eastern Wu and won a complete victory.

Gan Ning and Du Ji gathered a total of 50,000 sailors and more than 1,000 large and small boats at the mouth of the Sanjiang River to confront the Jiangdong navy.

Cao Zhang, who supervised the battle in Jiangxia, was also taken aback when he learned the news of Cao Hong's defeat.

"Who should be in charge?"

Huang Quan Zheng Du glanced at each other, stepped forward and said: "You can fight with Kebi, and non-generals are not enough to win." ”

"You mean ......"

Cao Zhang hesitated.

Zheng Du mustered up his courage and stepped forward again, "In fact, it is beneficial to order the general to go on the expedition, and it will be beneficial to His Majesty and the general." The minister also knows that His Majesty and the general are very close...... However, His Majesty is no longer the prince of the past, but by the mandate of God. The general's merits are outstanding, no one can compare, if he stays in Chang'an, sooner or later there will be dirt. It is better to let him go to Lingzhou, first, to stabilize the situation, and second, it is okay to have an eternal friendship between His Majesty and the general. It's better than one day in the future, Your Majesty and the Great General turn against each other. ”

"Bastard, how dare you talk like that."

Cao Zhang was furious, and he drew his sword and was about to cut Zheng Du.

Fortunately, Huang Quan, Zhang Ren and others persuaded Cao Zhang. But in the end, Zheng Du was driven out of the palace.

"Bo Nian is talking today, why are you so careless?"

Zhang Ren was in charge of driving Zheng Du away, and couldn't help but say outside the palace: "You know that Your Majesty is close to the general, but you say such things, don't you deliberately anger the general?" If he is known to the general one day, you ......"

Zheng Du smiled!

He said softly: "General, you will only be grateful to me, and you will not blame me."

Public security, can't you see it? In His Majesty's heart, he is actually still a little jealous of the general. Otherwise, in this battle of Jiangdong, Your Majesty does not need to drive the expedition in person, but only needs to order the general to supervise the battle.

However, His Majesty chose to drive the expedition in person, which shows that he is also in a dilemma in his heart.

Within three days, there will be an edict: order the general to go north.

Presumably, this is also the result that the general wants...... If you stay in Chang'an, sooner or later there will be dirty. ”

When Zhang Ren heard this, he couldn't help but be silent.

As Zheng Du expected, on the next day, Cao Zhang issued an edict to worship Cao Peng as the king of Lingwu, supervise the war in Lingzhou, and immediately go to his post.

As soon as the edict came out, it immediately attracted a wave of controversy.

You must know that since Cao Zhang's accession to the throne, no one has been crowned king.

Now Cao Peng is the first person to be crowned king, and he is also a prince who commands the army, which is naturally thought-provoking.

But for Cao Peng, such a result is undoubtedly the best.

After receiving the edict, Cao Peng immediately began to prepare.

It was also at this time that the Battle of Sanjiangkou finally broke out.

The two sides used nearly 5,000 boats to block the entire water. Mada commanded the Jiangdong naval army and tried to capture the mouth of the three rivers. First, after the occupation of these three river esturies, the Jiangdong naval army could directly enter Jingnan and threaten the rear of Cao's army. At the same time, the naval army has an advantage, and it can rely on the big river moat to deal with Cao's army.

In this big battle, both sides can be said to have been preparing for a long time.

Since Ganning Duji took over the helm of the navy, he has practiced day and night, and what he has done is today.

In terms of the strength of the two sides, they are evenly matched.

There were 30,000 Jiangdong sailors and more than 40,000 Cao Wei sailors. Before the start of the war, both sides were ready for a bloody battle. On the tenth day of August in the second year of Taiping, the two sides fought to the death on the river.

At the beginning of the battle, the Soochow naval army had the upper hand.

However, starting from the next day, one hundred and eighty Jian'an-class keelbuilding ships came out of Dongting Lake and joined the battle group, turning the tide of the battle at once. Day 3, Day 4...... Under the impact of Cao Wei's ship, coupled with the eight-ox crossbow equipped on the ship, the Eastern Wu Navy gradually fell into disadvantage. One by one, the ships were cut off, and the warships were bombarded by the eight-bull crossbow. Across the river, the sound of shouting and killing shook the sky, and the wreckage of boats was floating everywhere.

As the Soochow naval army retreated, Mada tried to collect his troops and stabilize his position.

But it happened at this time......

More than ten Jiangdong warships suddenly turned against each other and launched an attack on the Soochow naval army. And the main general of these more than ten warships, surnamed Lu, is named Lu Fei. was originally a private soldier of the Lu family, and was later sent into the navy by the Lu family, and has been diligent for many years. Lu Fei's defection had an incalculable impact on the Jiangdong naval army.

In an instant, the Soochow Navy was completely chaotic......

Seeing this, Gan Ning immediately ordered a fierce attack.

He personally met with Lu Fei and learned from Lu Fei that Cao Peng and Lu Xun had been in contact for many years...... On the eve of the outbreak of the Battle of Sanjiangkou, Lu Xun sent someone to tell Lu Fei that depending on the battle situation, he could either fight or surrender!

When Gan Ning heard this, he couldn't help but sigh.

He said to Du Ji privately: I will wait to see ten steps, and Your Majesty will look at ten miles...... However, today I know that the son is thousands of miles away!

In August of the second year of Taiping, the Jiangdong Navy was at the mouth of the Sanjiang River, and the whole army was annihilated.

And immediately after, Guiyang Taishou Lu Xun suddenly made a move and announced that he would join Cao Wei. He counted Sun Quan's ten major crimes, rebelled, and conquered Xiangxiang. Tai Shi Ci, who was supervising the battle in Boluojiang, couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh after hearing the news.

That night, Sun Shao crossed the Boluo River alone, entered the Dongwu military camp, and said that he would surrender to Tai Shici.

After careful consideration, Tai Shici finally decided to start an incident. He returned to Linxiang overnight, killed Xu Sheng, who was supervising the battle, and then joined forces with Lu Xun, gave up Changsha, and went straight to Luling. Three days later, Luling was lost.

The Jiangdong Navy was defeated, and Tai Shi Ci Lu Xun rebelled!

The entire Dongwu suddenly panicked......

Cao Zhang took the opportunity to issue an edict to supervise the army to attack from Jiangxia and launch a fierce attack on Eastern Wu.

At this time, the general trend of Soochow has gone.

However, Sun Quan was not willing to be defeated, but concentrated his forces and prepared to fight Cao Zhang to the death......

In October, twenty huge high-end ships appeared on the coast of Wu County.

Gu Yong, a powerful man in Wu County, took advantage of the situation to raise troops, announced a break with Sun Quan, and welcomed the landing of Cao Wei's army.

In November, He Qi of Huiji County raised troops in Shanyin to welcome the son of King Heng back to his hometown, and Huiji County was in chaos.

The whole of Koto, in just a few months, seems to have become uncontrollable.

After Pound conquered the Dantu, he waved his army south to conquer Qu'a.

Sun Quan really panicked this time!

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

In the blink of an eye, it's December.

Cao Peng has arrived in Lingzhou, and summoned fifty soldiers and horses in Xincheng County, looking at Xianbei.

Kebineng hurriedly sent someone to sue for peace, but Cao Peng refused. In November, a bloody battle broke out between the two sides at Wolf Juxu Mountain. Cao Peng took the two veteran generals Huang Zhong and Yan Yan as the vanguard, and ordered Sha Moke and Zhao Yun to be the main generals of the left and right troops. From the rising sun, fight until nightfall......

The Xianbei people could not resist the offensive of Cao's army, and finally broke out and left.

Cao Peng took advantage of the situation and ordered Huang Zhong and Yan Yan to pursue and capture the Xianbei royal court. Kebineng walked away in embarrassment and fled to Ding Ling for help.

At the same time, the Hujie people did not dare to be lonely, and joined forces with the Mobei Huns, intending to rescue Kebineng. However, at the instigation of Hongdu, Su Li sent troops to stop him. After the defeat of Kebineng, the Hun coalition army immediately retreated. However, how could Cao Peng easily let go of the two parties? He led his troops to cross the Ganwei River, and at the same time issued a conscription order to recruit soldiers and horses from Youzhou and Bingzhou. Cao Hong learned of Cao Peng's victory, and without saying a word, he transferred the soldiers and horses of the fifty prefectures to participate in the war. Cao Chun, the governor of Youzhou, also recruited 30 soldiers and horses, together with 20,000 soldiers and horses from Daxing Mansion in Liaodong, and 30,000 soldiers and horses from Lu Han, a total of 80,000 people to participate in the war.

It's just that no one expected that the main general sent by Lu Han would be their prince who was less than ten years old, Cao Nian.

An army of 160,000 assembled at the Ganwei River.

Grain and grass in Liangzhou, Youzhou, and Bingzhou were sent to Xincheng County.

Cao Peng made it clear that he would not stop if he didn't kill the Hujieren. For a while, Hujie people felt a chill to the bone.

Fuchun, Chengfu.

Cheng Pu looked at Zhuge Jin, who was tired and tired, and he was also quite sad.

The good situation was lost in the blink of an eye.

Who is to blame?

Is that motor to blame?

At least in the battle of Sanjiangkou, the motor did not show any flaws, and even said that the command was extremely proper.

Blame Sun Shao? Blame Tai Shi Ci?

No one is to blame......

"Lu Boyan, why did you get into trouble?"

Cheng Pu suddenly asked, but Zhuge Jin didn't know where to start.

That's a long way to say that...... It seems to start with the time of the Eternal King. Zhuge Jin knew some of the reasons, so he explained them to Cheng Pu. Lu Xun's wedding accident back then, it seemed that there was no big deal. But the root of this bane has already been planted...... The Gu and Lu families seem to be loyal to Sun Quan, but in fact, they are resentful in their hearts. They even handed over their private soldiers, and what they do is today.

As for Xue Zong...... It's just a fuse!

"Old general, please help Your Majesty one more time for the sake of Emperor Wulie's affection."

Zhuge Jin begged bitterly.

Now, Lu Su is struggling to support in Danyang, but sooner or later he will be defeated.

With the chaos of the Wu County Guild, Sun Quan was no longer able to control the situation. Only by inviting veterans such as Cheng Puhuanggai to stabilize the morale of the army. Otherwise, you will surely lose. I have to say that Cheng Pu's feelings for Soochow are very deep.

Although he was disappointed by what Sun Quan had done, after thinking about it for a long time, he still decided to go out of the mountain.

In the first month of the third year of Taiping, Cao Zhang invaded Lujiang County.

Pang De occupied Jurong, while Cao Zhen conquered Shicheng and formed a flanking attack on Jiankang.

At the same time, Cao Wei's navy landed in Wu County, joined up with He Qi, and occupied Wu County. Seeing that the general trend had gone, Sun Quan abandoned Jiankang and fled to Yuhang. At the same time, Cheng Pu recruited 3,000 soldiers in Fuchun and re-emerged from the mountain with Huang Gai. Lu Su defended the lake for more than 20 days, and the city was broken in February, and Lu Su died in battle......

Although Lu Su died, he bought Sun Quan enough respite.

Sun Quan forcibly recruited more than 10,000 people from Shanyue, and vowed to fight a decisive battle with Cao Zhang with the benefit of his hometown.

In May, Cao Zhangqin led a large army to conquer Yuyao.

The battle of Koto seems to be coming to an end......

But he didn't want Zhuge Jin to design an ambush in the submarine, Cao Zhang's body was poisoned by arrows and he almost died.

Fortunately, Hua Tuo, the doctor in the army, was there and saved Cao Zhang's life. It's just that in this way, Cao Zhang was unable to continue the personal expedition and retreated to Jiankang to supervise the battle.

I have to say that compared with Xichuan, Wu is fierce.

Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and others fought a bloody battle with Cao's army in Qiantang for half a year, and it was not until the first month of the fourth year of Taiping that the city was breached.

Two veterans died in Qiantang.

Cao Zhang ordered people to say that Sun Quan would be demoted, but Sun Quan refused.

He gathered the last part of his troops and horses, and continued to deal with Cao's army. In May of the fourth year of Taiping, Lu Xun conquered Jiaozhi. Jiaozhi Taishou Lu Ji entrusted all his soldiers and horses to Lu Xun, and launched an attack on Yuhang from Jiaozhou......

In October of the fourth year of Taiping, Yuhang was broken.

When the city was broken, Sun Quan beheaded his wife and children, and then set fire to the palace, killing himself in the fire.

I thought it was going to be a smooth battle.

Cao Zhang gathered countless soldiers and horses, spent a lot of money and food, and almost invested all the capital accumulated by Cao Cao during his lifetime into the battle of Jiangdong. No one would have thought that this war would last for three years.

Cao Chang has won!

But it was a pyrrhic victory......

By this time, Cao Peng had already conquered Abakan and occupied Jiankun.

The black dragon flag of Cao Wei fluttered in Kyrgyzstan in later generations. In front of him, there was only one Ding Ling left......

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

In the sixth year of Taiping, mid-autumn.

Cao Wei's army captured the North Sea, which later became Lake Baikal.

Drinking horses in Beihai, Cao Peng's mood was extremely happy. The lion and tiger beast, that is, running happily on the shore of the North Sea, hissing repeatedly.

It's still a wilderness.

But Cao Peng saw the infinite light from this endless wilderness.

"King, King......"

Just as Cao Peng was about to get on his horse and return to the camp, he suddenly heard someone shouting.

When I looked up, I saw a horse galloping over, and it was immediately a young general.

It is Cao Qi, the grandson of Cao Xing.

Cao Qi reined in front of Cao Peng and rolled off the horse.

"Chang'an is coming, please ask the king to take the order."

Cao Peng was stunned.

Since his expedition, he has had little contact with Chang'an.

Every time the good news came back, he didn't bother to ask about it. Why did all of a sudden, a messenger come to Chang'an?

Cao Peng hurriedly took people back to the camp.

Indeed, the messenger was an acquaintance, and he was always in the same place.

I haven't seen him for five years, but the more he is older, after seeing Cao Peng, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

"Yue Chang waits, you and I are old acquaintances, don't be polite...... Was there an accident in Chang'an? ”

The more he heard it, he couldn't help but suddenly show sadness.

He nodded and said softly, "Your Majesty, it's almost gone!" ”

"What?"

Cao Peng was taken aback.

How old is Cao Zhang?

It doesn't seem to be the first year of existence...... This age is the age of the dragon spirit and the tiger, how can it suddenly be not?

Yue Fan sighed softly

"Your Majesty was injured by Shanyue's poisonous arrow when he conquered Sun Quan.

Although Mr. Yuanhua was healed, he could not remove the poison...... After returning to the dynasty, he worked even harder every day, just like the first emperor back then. Some time ago, the king came with good news, saying that he had captured Beihai, captured King Ding Ling, and killed Kebineng. His Majesty was very happy at that time, so he set up a banquet with wine......

At the banquet, His Majesty also said: As soon as Ding Ling is extinguished, he can be reunited with the king.

I didn't know that within a few days, my body would collapse. After that, he fell ill and his mind was extremely unclear......

The Queen Mother and Zhen Zhaoyi were under a lot of pressure.

Empress Dowager Huan and Marquis Ye kept instigating His Majesty to pass on the throne, but fortunately they were stopped by the Empress Dowager...... After discussing with Prime Minister Xun Cheng, the queen mother believed that the king must return to Chang'an as soon as possible to stabilize the situation. Otherwise, this Great Wei Dynasty is in danger. ”

Cao Peng's face suddenly changed!

He didn't say a word, and immediately said: "Pass the Gu order, Kong Ming and Xiaozhi stay in Beihai, build a city, and stabilize the situation."

Huang Zhong, Yan Yan, Zhao Yun, and Sha Moke immediately ordered their troops and horses and returned to Chang'an with me. ”

"Daddy, what about me?"

When Cao Nian heard that Cao Peng was leaving, he was immediately anxious and hurriedly asked.

Cao Peng stretched out his hand, rubbed Cao Nian's head, and said softly: "Nian'er will go back to Chang'an with me." ”
