Chapter 727: The Final Test

readx;

Before you know it, it is the spring of the seventeenth year of Jian'an. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Chengdu in the twilight of spring has its own lazy beauty. The rotten peach trees in the mountains bear fruit, and the air is filled with a faint peach fragrance. In the mountains, the peach and apricot white withered are sprinkled all over the path, adding a touch of secluded beauty.

The war in Yizhou has ended.

Although there are still some places where there is still fighting, such as the subject country of Shu County...... But most of them were clashes between the local mountain people and the Cao army, and there was not much trouble. After Cao Zhang's occupation of Chengdu, he used many local clans in Chengdu. For example, Zheng Du, such as Huang Quan, such as Liu Ba...... These are all outstanding Bashu people, and their talents are extraordinary. For example, Fei Guan and Wu Yi and others were escorted to Yedu and handed over to Cao Cao for disposal.

When dealing with Wu Yi, Cao Zhang had a headache.

Guy Wu Yi has an extremely close relationship with the Cao family. Cao Cao's grandmother, Cao Teng's opponent, Mrs. Wu, was a member of the Chen Liuwu clan. And Wu Yi is also from the Chen Liuwu family, and in terms of seniority, he is the same as Cao Cao. In other words, this Wu Yi is still Cao Zhang's elder......

It's just this Wu Yi who is Liu Bei's loyal supporter.

After learning of Liu Bei's death, he cried loudly.

This also made Cao Zhang a little unsure of what to do, so he sent someone to send Wu Yi to Yedu.

"This shows the generosity of the son, but it is not inevitable that the woman is benevolent."

After Cao Peng captured Chengdu, except for a little on the second day, he led a total of 8,000 white camel soldiers, flying camel soldiers and Wudang flying troops to garrison in Pixian County, and never set foot in Chengdu again.

The Battle of Yizhou was the Battle of Cao Zhangliwei.

Chengdu will be a place for Cao Zhang to display his talents and show his majesty, which is not suitable for him to participate in the past.

Accompanying him in Pixian County were Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun. After Yan Yan conquered Guangdu, he resigned from his position in the army. From his tone, Cao Peng heard that he didn't want to stay in Yizhou, so he invited Yan Yan to be stationed in Pixian together. Yan Yan also readily agreed, after all, under Cao Peng, there was an old man of the same age as him. Although the two have different experiences, they have a lot to talk about together.

Pixian in late spring, the scenery is extremely beautiful.

Cao Peng sat in the government and asked people to find a few craftsmen in Chengdu to make a small red clay stove.

Inside a charcoal fire was lit and a clay pot was placed on the fire.

Then I took the Mengding yellow buds that were picked during the Qingming Festival, and after simple roasting, they were crushed into minced pieces. At this time, when the tea is free, why worry about some trivial matters? ”

Cao Peng smiled and picked up the tea bowl.

It's just that in my heart, I am muttering: Cao Cao has ascended the throne...... This is different from history. I'm afraid that his ascension to the throne is more about laying the foundation for Cao Zhang. But what's next for him?

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

The Yizhou War has been suspended for half a year.

Chengdu has experienced two turmoils in one year, which is also a major loss of vitality.

After Cao Zhang occupied Chengdu, on the recommendation of Cao Peng, he recruited Liu Ba and others to restore the livelihood of the people in Yizhou.

It's just that it's easy to destroy, but it's hard to build.

I think that at the beginning, Cao Peng had several years to stir up the economy of Yizhou into a pot of porridge.

Now, if you want to recover, it will not take more than ten years, and I am afraid it will be difficult to reach the original level. However, at least Cao Chang is working hard! No matter how jerky he is, he is trying to get back to his original appearance.

At the end of the sixteenth year of Jian'an, Cao Zhang ordered people to requisition 500,000 grains and grass from Nanjun and Hanzhong. At the same time, people were sent to buy countless cattle and sheep from Hehuang to help the people of Xichuan tide over the difficulties and restore their livelihood.

Subsequently, he asked Cao Cao to set up a silver building in Yizhou.

After repeated discussions and repeated consultations, Cao Chang and his staff, on February 2, the day when the dragon raised their heads, decided to abolish the Yizhou five-baht coin, and ordered the Jian'an Chongbao to be the only currency in circulation.

The five-baht coin was difficult to circulate as early as Liu Zhang's time.

There was even a time when there was a phenomenon of bartering in Chengdu......

Fortunately, Liu Zhang later also devoted himself to the introduction of Jian'an Heavy Treasure, but unfortunately he was stabbed to death as soon as he began to implement it.

Liu Zhang, who died at whose hands?

There's no need to pursue it anymore!

Zhuge Liang knew very well that that was not Liu Bei's means.

If it's not Liu Bei, who will it be?

Anyway, Liu Zhang is dead, Liu Bei is also dead, and Xichuan has finally stabilized, so let Liu Bei bear this charge. Many people, such as Huang Quan and others, in private, suspected that it was Cao Cao. But it doesn't seem useful to discuss this issue now. At least Cao Zhang is sincerely planning for Xichuan, although he is still a little young, and even sometimes a little immature and naΓ―ve, he is indeed sincere.

With this heart, it is enough!

"There are many people in Xichuan Mountain, and there are even more barbarians in Nanzhong, which has always been a scourge."

In the Chengdu Mansion, Huang Quan talked eloquently, "The policies implemented by the prince in Jingnan before, the ministers also know a thing or two, very good!" Therefore, the minister thought that the law implemented by the prince in Jingnan could be implemented in Xichuan.

The establishment of the Daxing Mansion in Yuewang was specifically responsible for matters with the barbarians in Nanzhong, which must have been effective in the future. ”

Cao Zhang smiled bitterly, "Jingnan's method is not my work."

It was planned by my fourth brother and promoted by me...... Originally, after Chengdu stabilized, I invited my fourth brother over several times to discuss some things with him. But the fourth brother pushed left and right, and always refused to come. ”

The fourth brother mentioned by Cao Zhang is Cao Peng.

If you follow the ranking in the genealogy, among the second generation of Cao, Cao Peng ranks fourth. Although he is not a descendant, Cao Zhang still respects him as a brother. On top of Cao Peng, now only Cao Xiu is left.

Huang Quan listened to it, and secretly smiled bitterly in his heart.

This son of his own family is very bold and decisive.

Although sometimes a little soft, for example, in Wu Yi's affairs, it reveals the kindness of a woman, but on the whole, she is sensitive and studious, not ashamed to ask, and willing to study, and she will definitely be a master in the future. However, Cao Zhang's dependence and trust in Cao Peng also made Huang Quan feel helpless and even a little headache.

For Cao Peng, Huang Quan is very respectful.

This is a person who knows how to advance and retreat, and knows what is important.

Huang Quan knew that Cao Peng refused to come to Chengdu just to build momentum for Cao Zhang, and he didn't want to steal the limelight from Cao Zhang. But as soon as Cao Zhang had a problem, he first thought of Cao Peng, and Huang Quan was really uncomfortable.

I'm your staff!

But he also knew that Cao Peng was Cao Zhang's enlightenment teacher, and the two had an excellent relationship.

Not only that, but the two are also brothers-in-law, and even Cao Zhang's son was succeeded by Cao Peng the year before last. The relationship between the two is like this, and Cao Zhang's dependence on Cao Peng has nothing to say. Fortunately, Cao Peng knows things very well, and every time Cao Zhang sends someone to ask for advice, he will write to him and ask Cao Zhang to consult Huang Quan and Liu Ba.

"The general's move is also to hone the son.

In the future, the son of the world will have to control the overall situation, how can he consult the general on everything? If you don't get it right, I'm afraid that it will bring trouble to the general. ”

"I know that, too."

At this moment, I suddenly heard that the junior colonel came to report: "Your Majesty has ordered Chang Shi Yue to come to deliver the decree." ”

Cao Zhang hurriedly got up and took Huang Quan and the others to meet him.

The person who came to preach the message was the more than.

After he saw Cao Zhang, he immediately said: "Prince, Your Majesty has a secret decree with the prince, please retreat." ”

The secret purpose?

Cao Zhang's spirit shuddered.

Huang Quan and the others also hurriedly exited the hall.

"Your Majesty, what is your Majesty's will at this time? How mysterious it is? ”

Huang Quan couldn't help but asked in a low voice.

But seeing Liu Ba's solemn face, and seeing that there was no one on the left and right, he said softly: "Gongheng is cautious!" Your Majesty's decree this time is just afraid that there is something important...... If you can't get it right, it's to clear the obstacles for the prince, and you and I have to figure it out. ”

Barrier?

Huang Quan's heart trembled, and he looked at Liu Ba in shock.

However, just when Cao Zhang was receiving the decree, Zhang He, Dian Man, Xu Yi and others hurriedly came to the mansion.

The three of them looked solemn and did not greet Huang Quan.

This also made Huang Quan and Liu Ba even more uneasy......

After a while, Yue accompanied Cao Zhang out. However, Cao Zhang's face was not good-looking, and even a little gloomy.

"Prince!"

Seeing that Cao Zhangjiu was silent for a long time, he urged in a low voice.

And Cao Zhang's face was gloomy, and he even said in an impatient tone: "Don't make noise, I know how to measure......

Yuande! ”

"Whoa!"

"You go to Pixian County immediately and ask the general to come.

Just say...... His Majesty sent a decree and asked the general to come and receive it. Go quickly, go back quickly, and there must be no mistakes. ”

Who knows, Dianman showed hesitation.

"Prince, do you want the ministers to go?"

"Or ......"

Cao Zhang's eyes turned and fell on Xu Yi.

Xu Yi immediately said: "Prince, Feichen doesn't want to go, it's just that this hip is sick, and it is really not suitable to ride, please forgive the prince." ”

Huang Quan almost laughed out loud.

To put it bluntly, I have hemorrhoids on my buttocks, so I can't ride a horse.

Even this kind of excuse can be found, and Xu Yi is really talented.

Cao Zhang turned his gaze to Dianman again.

"Yuande!"

"Okay, then I'll go!"

After Dian Man finished speaking, he glared at Xu Yi viciously and turned to leave.

But this time, it strengthened the speculation of Huang Quan and Liu Ba. In their hearts, the two couldn't help but feel panic and fidgeted on the side.

Cao Zhang was in the courtroom, pacing irritably.

In the evening, Cao Peng and Dianman hurried over.

"Prince, what is Your Majesty's will?"

"The more often you serve!"

Cao Zhang was very embarrassed, and turned his head to look at Yue.

But when he saw Yue, he stood up and took out the holy decree, "Cao Peng took the decree." ”

Cao Peng hurriedly lowered his body to receive the order, "The general of the expedition to the west, the new martial marquis Cao Peng, since he received the order, he will take the post of general, and immediately set off and return to Chang'an." ”

Liu Ba and Huang Quan were keenly aware that Zhang Hedianman and Xu Yi in the court were all nervous.

The two of them felt a heartbeat, cold sweat running down their backs, and their clothes were wet.

This is clearly to remove Cao Peng's military power!

Cao Peng was stunned for a moment, but he was extremely relaxed.

"Minister Cao Peng, take the order!"

As he spoke, he got up and stepped forward to receive the decree from Yue Fan's hand.

"Prince, Your Majesty has a decree to immediately order the ministers to rush back to Chang'an...... Minister, this is about to say goodbye and hurry. ”

"Wait!"

Cao Zhang suddenly spoke: "Fourth brother, I'll go with you." ”

"Huh?"

"My father has a decree and wants me to return to Chang'an.

Yizhou affairs were temporarily led by Shi Tao, the Taishou of Hanzhong, and the governor of the capital...... In addition, His Majesty will set up a Daxing Mansion with Yuewang County, remove Hao Zhao, the southern governor, and worship the governor of Daxingfu in Yuewang County, and immediately go to his post. ”

Cao Peng listened to it, and he was even more confused!

On the contrary, Zhang Hedian and Xu Yi on the side breathed a sigh of relief, and the big hand that held the hilt of the sword also let go.

Zhang He, Dian Man, and Xu Yi knew that I would learn from you as a general and return to Chang'an immediately...... If you are half dissatisfied or hesitant after receiving the order, you will be killed on the spot and must not disobey the order.

Chin this!

Ah Fu, what a blessing......
