Chapter 412 The Second Bomb in Hexi (1)

Su You is gone!

He had to leave Hongshui County temporarily. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

However, Su You did not return to Zhongshan with Su Shuang, but had another mission. When leaving Hongshagang, Su You was instructed by Su Shuang: no matter what happened, he could not leave Hexi, and he must gain a firm foothold as possible and be recognized by Cao Peng. Only in this way can the Su family move to Hexi in the future to obtain greater benefits. Su You was not a businessman, and he also studied at Anping Academy in his early years, and was cited as filial piety.

Anping Academy is not known to later generations.

When it comes to the Three Kingdoms, it is easy for people to think of Yingchuan Academy, Shuijing Villa and other places, but in fact, the status of Anping Academy is not inferior to Yingchuan Academy. In the north of the river, there are three major academies, namely Julu Academy, Anhei Academy, and Tobu Academy. Among them, Julu School is a government-run institution. Anhei Seowon and Tobu Seowon, on the other hand, are private seowons. These two academies are from the same surname, but some belong to two families. Anping Academy was founded by the Cui clan of Boling, and its representatives are Cui Jun, the son of the former Taiwei, and Cui Jun, the younger brother of Cui Jun...... Hehe, you read that right, it's Cui Jun and Cui Jun. Maybe Cui Jun's reputation is not prominent, but his brother Cui Jun is extremely famous.

This person is Cui Zhouping among the four friends of Xiangyang.

Tobu Academy, owned by the Cheonghe Choi clan.

These two families were originally one family, and later split into two sects of Boling Qinghe. The open and secret struggle between the two sects has never stopped, and they have been competing with each other. Su You, a disciple of Boling Cui, is good at classics. The Su clan of Zhongshan Guo, who has been doing business for many years, has become today's Hebei giant. But after arriving in Su Shuang's generation, he was keenly aware that it was difficult to make the Su family a real wealthy family with the identity of a businessman alone, so he focused on cultivating Su You, hoping that Su You could make a difference in Shilin in the future. Only in this way can the Su clan of Zhongshan Kingdom really soar.

It's a pity that Su Shuang's plan has not yet had time to be implemented, and Yuan Shao has been defeated.

Originally, Su Shuang had given up the idea of letting Su You join the office. But after meeting Cao Peng, his idea was revived.

The family's business does not need Su You to bother.

has Su Ping, the second son of Su Shuang, to take care of it. As long as Su You can gain a firm foothold under Cao Peng's account, it will be the greatest contribution to the Su family. Su You left Hongshui County this time, in the name of Cao Peng, went to Fuping, and set up the Zhangjia Treasury.

The arrival of 8,000 Han Nu really relieved the pressure on Cao Peng's manpower.

But in the same way, it also brought a new problem to Cao Peng...... Grain, grass, baggage, and all kinds of daily necessities.

Cao Peng was originally going to get out of the Fuping Treasury a little later, but with the arrival of the eight thousand Han Nu, he had to act in advance. Otherwise, just the food and clothing of these eight thousand Hannu was enough to give him a headache. While deciding to take up the Fuping treasury, Cao Peng had to set his sights on Xu Du, hoping to seek more help......

Heluo's costume change has been completed, and the next thing will be to start changing clothes in Guanzhong.

When new ordnance and equipment arrive in Guanzhong, a large number of obsolete baggage equipment will be eliminated......

According to the rules, these equipment and ordnance were inventoried and enthroned by the arsenal order, and then disposed of. For example, those ring-headed knives that have been eliminated will be sent to the Heyi Workshop for recuperation. The person in charge of the costume change is the captain of Xu Du Chengmen, that is, Cao Peng's father Cao Ji. Cao Peng thought about it, and it seemed that he could only start from this aspect.

The ordnance that Cao Jun was replaced was not valuable in the Central Plains.

But in the Western Regions, in Mobei...... These things can still generate some value.

Cao Peng now needs a large number of items, and it is obviously not realistic to rely solely on the supply of the imperial court.

Cao Cao's main energy was in Hebei, carrying heavy grain, grass and ordnance, and giving priority to the Hebei battlefield. As for Hexi...... To be honest, there isn't a lot of support that can be received. If you don't engage in some crooked ways, Cao Peng really doesn't know what to do.

In my previous life, this was the kind of thing I hated the most.

I didn't expect to be reborn in the Three Kingdoms, but I would do such an illegal thing.

Cao Peng had no choice but to comfort himself secretly: for the sake of noble goals, Lao Tzu can do whatever it takes......

Expelle Hulu and revitalize Hexi!

Seems like a noble goal......

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

On August 26, the construction of the outer city of Lianbao was completed.

According to the roster sent by Jia Kui, Lianbao now has 1,300 soldiers, including more than 300 cavalry. These cavalry soldiers were selected from the tribes near Lianbao, but they had not yet formed a fighting force. Lianbao now has more than 4,000 registered people. Among them, there are less than 400 Han people, which is not even half of the total population of Lianbao. The rest of the population is mostly naturalized Hu people. In addition, there were more than 1,000 Hu slaves, which further caused the imbalance in the proportion of Hu and Han populations.

Jia Kui believes: "If the ratio of Hu to Han exceeds 70%, it will inevitably complicate the situation in Lianbao. ”

After careful consideration, on August 28, Cao Peng sent 400 households, about 2,000 people, from the 8,000 Han slaves sent from Hongshagang, to Lianbao in order to increase the proportion of Han Chinese in the population of Lianbao. In this regard, Jia Kui was happy at the same time, and at the same time said with a sad face: "If the population increases by 2,000 all at once, the grain and grass of Lianbao will inevitably get out of control. ”

When there is enough food and grass, the population is insufficient.

When the population is sufficient, there is not enough food and grass......

Now that we have entered late autumn, the problem of grain and grass will inevitably become more serious after the winter.

With the imperial court supply and the treasury of Fuping County alone, I am afraid that this situation will not be changed...... How, how is it good?

Cao Peng found that he seemed to have entered a strange circle.

In September, Hongshui County broke ground.

As the prisoners of war and the Hannu from Hongshagang arrived in Hongshui County in turn, the problems faced by Cao Peng became more and more severe.

Hugh slaughtered nearly 4,000 people each, plus 6,000 Han slaves in Hongshagang.

The number of slaves alone has exceeded 10,000.

And the troops in Cao Peng's hands are only 1,000 people, and the proportion is obviously out of balance.

The increase in population will inevitably bring about a new round of food and grass shortages. Even if the food standard is lowered, it still faces a huge crisis. Cao Peng had to send someone to Chang'an again to ask Wei Qi for an additional 5,000 stone of grain. But the problem is, Guanzhong has just returned to stability, and all affairs are also in ruins, where is there such a large supply of food?

Wei Qi replied that he would allocate 10,000 stones of grain and grass as soon as possible.

But before the spring of next year, Chang'an may not be able to continue supply.

That is to say, when the 10,000 stones of grain and grass are consumed, Hexi will face a food starvation crisis, and it will be difficult for Guanzhong to support it.

"What should I do?"

Cao Peng rode on a horse and inspected the construction site in Hongshui County.

He patted his forehead lightly and looked at Wang Shuang and Cai Di who were following him with a bitter expression.

Deng Fan Pangtong, in the northwestern pastureland; Jia Kui Yin Feng stayed in Lian Fort to carry out the construction of the interior of the castle, and it was difficult to get out.

Liang Kuan and Jiang Xu are good at leading troops to fight.

But if it is said that the local government and the people's livelihood are solved, Cao Peng cannot be helped.

Su Youma, let him deal with some paperwork, but when it comes to specific matters, it seems a bit rigid and insufficient.

Wang Shuang Cai Di ......

Don't count on it!

One is to train horses and raise dogs, and the other is still a little kid, what can be pointed to?

Cao Peng once again felt the pain that there was no one around him. When you have a problem, you don't even have someone to talk to.

Looking for Dou Lan to solve the trouble?

Cao Peng smiled bitterly and shook his head: Those gang of Hongze guys are now too busy to take care of themselves. Besides, even if they were able to help, they would never help. Perhaps, Dou Lan and his son are now waiting to see Cao Peng's joke......

Looking for Li Qi?

That old thing is cunning and unreliable!

For a while, Cao Peng had an unprecedented sense of helplessness: In the huge Hexi, there is no one to help me?

"General, General!"

Just on the bank of the Cao Penglema River, when he was looking around blankly, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves in the distance.

Seeing Liang Kuan galloping on his horse, after stopping in front of Cao Peng's horse, Liang Kuan arched his hand and said, "General, Xu Du is coming." ”

"Oh?"

Cao Peng was stunned, and his face showed doubt.

Xu Du is coming?

He just sent someone to Xudu, and it is estimated that he has only passed the Xiao Pass now, how can there be someone from Xudu?

Could it be that Lao Cao has new instructions?

Thinking of this, Cao Peng didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly said, "Where are the people?" ”

"I have set up camp ten miles south of Hongshui, and sent someone to inform him and ask the general to come over."

Didn't come directly, but set up camp by himself? In other words, I am afraid that there will not be too few people coming......

"Come with me."

As he spoke, Cao Peng shook the reins, and the lion and tiger beast Xi Yu under his crotch hissed violently, and ran away with his hooves on his back.

Wang Shuang and Cai Di didn't dare to slack off, and followed closely behind Cao Peng. Liang Kuan led the entourage and followed unhurriedly.

After a while, the barracks were clearly visible.

Looking at the scale, it won't be too big, and the number of people should be around four or five hundred.

A group of soldiers at the gate of the camp, all dressed in black clothes, with bows and swords, were in good spirits.

After seeing the soldier's dress clearly, Cao Peng suddenly became ecstatic. Black, these people are clearly the outfits of his subordinate black-sinister elite soldiers. Could it be that someone from the family has come to the house? He hurriedly urged his horse forward and restrained his horse outside the gate.

With a hiss, the group of blacks watched vigilantly.

"Childe?"

The chief who was headed by Cao Peng saw Cao Peng's appearance clearly, and was immediately ecstatic, and hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down on one knee to salute Cao Peng.

"You ...... How could it be here? ”

"This trip is on the orders of the marquis.

Fengchehou said that Gongzi was working in Hexi, and he was afraid that there would be a shortage of manpower. Therefore, he ordered Hao Zhaosima to lead his troops to assist. ”

Hao Zhao, it's Hao Zhao who is here!

My ironclad general is here......

Cao Peng threw off his horse and was just about to enter the barracks, when he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves in the camp.

The two teenagers rushed out of the barracks, and when they saw Cao Peng from afar, the young men led by them shouted happily: "Sir, the students are here to help Mr. ”

"Ziwen?"

Cao Peng couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the appearance of the person who came.

I thought it was just Hao Zhao coming, but I didn't expect them to come with me......

Cao Zhang, Niu Gang!

Cao Peng watched Cao Zhang jump off his horse, take three steps and make two steps to him, bow and salute, his head was a little dazed.

He never thought that Cao Zhang would come to Hexi.

So much so that after being stunned for a long time, Cao Peng stammered: "Ziwen, why are you here?" Is it commonplace? (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to ***(***.***) to vote for recommendation, ***, your support is my biggest motivation. )
