Chapter 437 The Third Bomb in Hexi (3)

In the winter of the eighth year of Jian'an, the situation suddenly calmed down. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The dispute between the two Yuan in Hebei, because Cao Cao sent troops to help, made Yuan, Tan and Yuan Shang all die down. Yuan Shang's generals Lü Kuang and Lü Xiang returned to Cao Cao, forcing Yuan Shang to return to Yecheng. However, Yuan Tan was not honest, and after stabilizing his position, he privately engraved the general's seal in Erlu in an attempt to win over the two. But Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang were not stupid, and immediately reported the matter to Cao Cao. After Cao Cao learned the news, he just sneered and stopped asking about it.

At the beginning of October, Cao Cao ordered the construction of a white ditch to open the grain road.

This Baigou is a small river, located in the west of Jun County, Henan Province, and its source is close to Qishui (a tributary of the ancient Yellow River). It flows down to the northeast and connects the Qing River (the name of the ancient water, which originates from Huangnan in Henan Province). Cao Cao made people make a weir and robbed the water into the white ditch to increase the amount of water. In this way, it is possible to ship food through the air. After Baigou is repaired, it will be connected to the two rivers of Qishui and Qinghe, and become the main water transportation road in Hebei. It can also be seen from this that Cao Cao can't wait to make a decision to level Hebei as soon as possible. As for the reasons for this, there are many reasons, among which is the pressure from Jingzhou.

In June of the eighth year of Jian'an, Liu Bei was stationed in Xinye.

Immediately, he recruited troops in Xinye County, and even recruited many powerful people.

There are also many Jingxiang clans, because of Zhuge Liang, and began to show favor to Liu Bei. If you say that Zhuge Liang alone may not have such great energy. But with the emergence of Pang Tong's cousin Pang Shanmin, and after Zhuge Liang married Cai's daughter, Zhuge Liang's status in Jingzhou was stabilized and accepted by many people.

In addition, many old ministers from Shanyang around Liu Biao, such as Yi nationality, expressed a good impression of Liu Bei.

Liu Bei's environment in Jingzhou was also much relaxed......

In August, Zhuge Liang officially served as Liu Bei's military division and offered advice to Liu Bei.

During this period, Zhang Xiu tried to attack Xinye, but was defeated by Zhuge Liang's design, which greatly improved his status under Liu Bei.

This also made Liu Biao more at ease with Liu Bei.

Judging from the current situation, Liu Bei is in Xinye, which can make the south of Jingzhou safe. Of course, it is impossible for Liu Biao to give Liu Bei too much power, and he still suppresses it in some aspects. The greater Liu Bei's ability, the more worried Liu Biao will be while being relieved.

In the blink of an eye, it has entered November.

After a winter rain, the temperature in Jingzhou is steeply cold.

Winter in the south of the Yangtze River is not as cold as it looks in the north. But in fact, it is even more difficult than in the north......

Liu Biao and Mrs. Cai are teasing their young son Liu Cong in the back garden.

He originally had his eldest son, Liu Qi, and now he is twenty-five ...... Liu Qi looks very much like Liu Biao, so he was very valued by Liu Biao before. It's just that with the birth of his youngest son Liu Cong and Mrs. Cai's provocation, Liu Biao began to alienate Liu Qi.

"Boyu has been in contact with Uncle Liu quite a lot recently."

Mrs. Cai's sudden words made Liu Biao stunned. When I looked over again, I found that Mrs. Cai had turned her head and teased Liu Cong. Little Liu Cong is eight years old, and his raw pink carving is quite like his mother's appearance. Seeing Liu Biao coming over, he stepped forward with a wine glass quite obediently, and said in a milky voice: "Father, please drink." ”

"Good, good, good!"

Liu Biao couldn't help but be happy, and after the bronze knight, he held Liu Cong in his arms.

"Madam, you just said that Boyu and Xuande have frequent contacts?"

"Huh?" Mrs. Cai looked dazed, and then smiled: "I just heard people say this, but I don't know it very well." ”

"Hmm."

Liu Biao took a sip of wine, and a touch of anger flashed in his eyes.

Mrs. Cai didn't seem to pay attention, but she secretly kept paying attention to Liu Biao.

"By the way, Kong Ming, this guy is good in Xinye?"

"It's good...... It's just that his husband and wife just got married, so Liu Bei called him to Xinye, leaving my niece and daughter alone in the empty boudoir...... Liu Xuande also doesn't know the truth, bad people are good things. I want Kong Ming to come back, but does my husband think it's okay? ”

"What's wrong with that?"

"I'm afraid that Xuande won't let people go......"

Liu Biao frowned, "Since that's the case, then I'll send someone over to inform you." ”

You Liu Xuande refuses to let go, so I'll ask you for someone, do you want to let it go or not? Regarding Zhuge Liang's choice to assist Liu Bei, Liu Biao has not been very happy in his heart. How can you say that you Zhuge Liang and I are also a family, how can you abandon me and vote for Liu Bei?

As soon as he thought of this, Liu Biao's heart was not happy.

Mrs. Cai did not continue to fan the flames, but only carefully warmed the wine.

There are some things that can be clicked on.

If Cai Mao hadn't told him that Liu Qi and Liu Bei left frequently, I'm afraid Mrs. Cai wouldn't have said these words today.

Liu Biao is old after all!

If he leaves, what should you do if Liu Bei helps Liu Qi take the position of the lord of Jingzhou? If you don't feel comfortable finding it yourself, then don't blame me for being unkind to you. Kong Ming is also ignorant, he knew that this was the case, he shouldn't have let Liu Bei go to Xinye.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Cai's heart rose sharply with murderous intent.

The Central Plains, for Cao Peng, seems a little far away.

Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang have not appeared in his mind for a long time.

On the eighth day of November in the eighth year of Jian'an, Cao Peng suddenly reported to Hexi: Hongshuiji did not listen to education and did not accept Tianwei. Now it is in the name of the Son of Heaven, and he will crusade against it.

Cao Peng, it's finally time to do something to Hongshuiji!

For such a result, the people of Hexi seem to have expected it for a long time, and they are not surprised at all.

From ten days ago, Cao Peng met in the Hongshui Camp, and Dou Lan did not participate, it can be seen that it is a matter of time before the troops are dispatched.

Cao Peng signed a contract with the tribes of Hexi, which shocked countless people.

Not to mention that Tan Zhe was attached to the imperial court, but just the things that Cao Peng said at the meeting alliance are enough to make people think.

This is not a narrow-minded Central Plains celebrity.

He is quite open-minded, and he does not blindly reject the Hu people. Moreover, he seems to be willing to help the Hu people live a better life and get more benefits. Although the method is a bit tough, it doesn't seem to be too much for now.

There are pros and cons......

In short, a variety of opinions are derived.

However, everyone can feel that this alliance is just Cao Peng's first step. People in the Central Plains often say that the salute comes before the soldiers. Now that the number of rituals is there, the next step is to use soldiers...... As for how to use the troops? Everyone is waiting and watching.

On the tenth day of November, Cao Peng set out for the army at the Hongshui camp.

With Pan Zhang, the commander of Zhengqiang, as the vanguard, and Niu Gang as the deputy general, he ordered the 3,000-strong army to attack.

At the same time, Cao Peng recruited 5,000 soldiers and horses in the Hongshui camp. Among them, Hu and Han are mixed, and those who are willing to join the army can go to the body of Hu Nu.

In the past two months, Cao Peng has purchased more than 3,000 Hu slaves from Tan Zhe.

With the addition of his original 8,000 Han slaves, there are more than 10,000 people. Then Bu Qi and Pan Zhang arrived, bringing another 5,000 soldiers and horses. After Cao Peng ordered his men to disperse them, he recruited 5,000 soldiers, a total of 13,000 soldiers. There are two schools, one each led by Xia Houlan and Pan Zhang. Cao Peng led a school with 3,000 people, and Hao Zhao was in charge.

At this time, the strength of the Han army was no longer idle.

If you count the two places of Lianbao and Fengmingtan, there are nearly 20,000 people.

This time, Cao Peng dispatched soldiers and horses from the two schools, and marched towards Hongshuiji.

"Today's son uses soldiers, not for conquest, but for shock."

Xu Shu was the military advisor Sima and accompanied him on the expedition.

Before the expedition, Xu Shu said to Cao Peng, "Red water collection, don't worry.

Even if Li Qi wants to send troops to help, there will be Captain Deng and Gongwei to contain them in Fengmingtan, and it will be difficult to have a big use.

Therefore, the purpose of Childe's battle is to let everyone in Hexi know Childe's strength.

Only in this way can we surrender without a fight. For Gongzi, the key to pacifying Hexi is Fu, not conquest. ”

Cao Peng, I think so.

To be honest, he really doesn't take the red water set in his eyes.

First, there was the first song of the phoenix, and now there is 'Mr. Shan Fu' accompanying him. The battle of Hongshuiji must be fought fiercely, quickly, and so that those who still have illusions will honestly surrender one by one. That's the real purpose of this war.

Therefore, Cao Peng personally supervised the army, and Xiahoulan was the deputy general.

After leaving the Red Water camp, the army drove straight in. Geng Qing was the first to lead the troops to join and handed over all the rosters to Cao Peng. After that, he took his clan and family to the Red Water Camp and soon settled down......

Geng Qing is now under no pressure.

Only in the spring of the next year, after Tan Zhe evacuates Hongshagang, he can take over Hongshagang to build the city and be his Hu Chang.

As for the staff, he thought it all out.

Let the eldest son Geng Lin serve as the ...... The only thing I am concerned about is Geng Jun, the second son of Hongshuiji.

Fortunately, Cao Peng assured him that he would never harm Geng Jun's life and would bring him back to the Hongshui camp safely.

Geng Qing's attachment also shows that the red water oath is completely lifted.

On the third day of Geng Qing's annexation, Qiu Nu led his troops to vote. The 5,000 parts were all handed over to Cao Peng, and Qiu Nu took his family and entered the ice city...... After the autumn slave, three more adults were attached. Eighteen tribes, in the blink of an eye, there are five less. As for the other tribes, they are also in a panic and do not know where to go. The tribes that had recently joined them fled their control and threw themselves into the Red Water Camp. And now, they don't bother to ask too much about it.

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

"The Cao family is a child, and he deceives people too much."

Hongshuiji, at this moment, is no longer the bustle and hustle and bustle when Cao Peng first arrived.

The Hu people in the city fled, while the Hermes-Epitek panicked. The entire Red Water Set was shrouded in an atmosphere of panic.

Everyone, with a blank expression.

Previously, wasn't it a good relationship with the Red Water Camp? also joined forces to retreat from the enemy...... Why is this blink of an eye, and the sword is facing each other? What the hell is going on! Why didn't General Dou go to the previous alliance of the Hongshui Battalion?

Dou Lan could clearly feel the confusion and complaint in Bu Qu's heart.

He could only complain secretly: he originally wanted to wait until the beginning of spring, and after the integration of various ministries was completed, he would be able to fight for greater benefits from Cao Peng.

How do you know that Cao Peng didn't say a word, and he was going to move troops?

In Dou Lan's view, Cao Peng has just received immigrants from the Central Plains, and he must be busy for a while.

Who knows, after Cao Peng accepted the immigration, he quickly allocated 2,300 households to Lianbao and Fengmingtan, relieving some of the pressure. After that, he and Tan Zheshen reached an agreement unknowingly, and obtained the red sand gang without blood, which made the entire Hexi panic. And the ice city that rose from the ground overnight is even more miraculous.

At least in the eyes of ordinary people, this Cao Peng has been favored by God......

"Father should not be nervous, the child has a plan, and he will definitely be able to make the Cao family return in vain." (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to ***(***.***) to vote for recommendation, ***, your support is my biggest motivation. )
