In the first year of Taiping, that is, in 213 A.D., autumn. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Cao Ren and the soldiers and horses of Eastern Wu fought again at the mouth of the Whiskers. The general Zang Ba was ordered to make a detour to attack the flank of the Eastern Wu Army, not wanting to encounter heavy rain, and the river swelled and broke the embankment. More than 5,000 people in Zang Ba's department were all submerged in the surging flood, and Zang Ba fell even more in this disaster......

It sounds a bit mysterious.

In ancient times, those who were great generals knew astronomy and geography.

A general like Zang Ba is even more experienced. It's just that such an experienced general died in the flood, more or less, which makes people wonder. However, it was indeed an accident! Hefei has been in good weather for many years, and in previous years, there was rarely heavy rain in this season. Even if there is, it's just a light rain, and it doesn't hurt. However, this year's rain came suddenly, without warning, and the rain was very violent. So much so that Zang Ba suffered this misfortune without any defense.

And such an accident brought huge trouble to Cao Ren.

The river swelled, shattering his plans.

Zang Ba's death made Cao Ren feel caught off guard. Fortunately, Yu Ban Li Tong was reinforced in time, otherwise Cao Ren might have faced a fiasco. However, after this battle, Cao Ren also fell ill on the bed. After the diagnosis and treatment of military doctors, he was unable to continue to sit in Hefei...... As a last resort, Cao Zhang ordered Cao Zhen to take over Cao Ren's post as the Taishou of Hefei and the governor of Huainan. Cao Ren was sent back to Luoyang for diagnosis and treatment.

The second generation of Cao has fully stepped onto the stage!

With Cao Zhen becoming the governor of Huainan, Xiahou Shang and Xiahou Ba successively took up the positions of Zhangling Taishou and Xiangyang Taishou.

Subsequently, Cao Zhang made a series of adjustments.

Xiahou Yuan was transferred to Yizhou as a general, and Shi Tao, who was the former fake governor of Yizhou, was transferred to Luoyang and served as Henan Yin.

and the governor of the state, served by Cao Hong.

Abolish the capital of the five armies, remove Zhang Liao from the post of the capital protector of the five armies, serve as the governor of Jingzhou, and lead the military of the nine counties of Jingxiang.

Changed Caozhou to Lingzhou.

Liang Xi, the pastor of Lingzhou, was reappointed as the governor of Liangzhou.

Xiahou Lan, the governor of Lingzhou, was reappointed as the middle protector and the right general.

With the end of a round of adjustments, the time has entered the second year of Taiping.

After Cao Chang stabilized the situation between Korea and China, he officially worshiped Cao Peng as Taifu, a general, and a Jingzhao Yin.

Feng Cao Peng is Wu Xingong, and eats Lingzhou Xincheng.

This letter city is the former Zhangcheng County of Caozhou. After Cao Chang succeeded to the throne, he changed Zhangcheng County to Xincheng County. Among them, there is also a layer of meaning: I always trust you, please continue to help me!

The object of this meaning is Cao Peng.

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

After Cao Cao's death, Cao Peng had Cao Cao to support him, but he was extremely low-key.

After welcoming Cao Zhang's ascension to the throne, he disappeared from everyone's sight. Even when Cao Cao's coffin entered the mausoleum, Cao Peng did not appear. This has given rise to a lot of speculation! But whether it is Cao Zhang, Xun Yu, or Mrs. Bian, they know where Cao Peng went. In his hand, there is also a secret edict from Cao Cao.

Before Cao Cao's death, his greatest wish was to write the title of Marquis of An Yuan on the tombstone after his death.

Unfortunately, in the end, he couldn't achieve that.

Before he died, Cao Cao secretly edicted Cao Peng: The bones are not allowed to be buried, and after incineration, they will be sprinkled on the mountain.

That Jiming Mountain is the place where Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries and sealed the Zen place.

In Jiming Mountain, looking west to the west of the river corridor, north to Mobei.

Cao Cao hoped that after his death, he would continue to guard the frontier and become a real Marquis of Anyuan. Therefore, the corpses in the mausoleum are just golden bodies made by Cao Cao's secret orders. And his corpse, when he was buried, had been sprinkled on Jiming Mountain. Cao Peng ordered people to erect a stone monument on Jiming Mountain.

Anyuan Yongzhen!

He didn't say who this An Yuan was, but just wrote down the name.

Many years later, someone dug up this stele from Jiming Mountain, and the Marquis of An Yuan suddenly became a warrior named An Yuan, who once fought against Qiang Hu Lu here and died. And because of this, a beautiful and moving legend has been handed down...... The town at the foot of Jiming Mountain was also renamed 'Anyuan Town' because of this.

But in fact, this town is a secret training base for dark warriors when Cao Peng buried Cao Cao.

However, in the history books, there is no record.

In the mid-spring of the second year of Taiping, Cao Zhang, Emperor Zhaowu of Wei, officially issued an edict to wage war against Jiangdong.

Cao Wei's naval army gathered at the mouth of the three rivers, and Jingnan even set up tens of thousands of troops, eyeing the tiger. The big war is about to break out.

Cao Peng, who was a general at the time, was not ordered to command.

Cao Zhangli overcame the opposition of the ministers of the DPRK and the central government, and decided to drive the expedition in person.

He ordered three routes of troops and horses, with Jingnan, Guangling, and Hefei, and launched an attack on Jiangdong at the same time.

Sun Shao, the young governor of Jingnan Daxingfu, was the vanguard and led his troops to Changsha County.

And Changsha County was too guarded by Shi Ci, and under Sun Quan's strict orders, he raised troops to fight. The two sides confronted each other on the banks of the Boluo River and engaged in a series of bloody battles.

At the same time, Hefei Taishou, Huainan Governor Cao Zhen, gathered 30,000 Huainan soldiers and horses, and set up a residence in the mouth of the Xu. Guo Huai was ordered to be the vanguard, Deng Ai was to join the army, and Niu Jinniu and Yin brothers were the deputy generals, and launched a fierce attack on the Eastern Wu army.

Sun Quan urgently ordered Zhuge Jin to respond to the battle, and even sent the generals Jiang Qin and Xu Sheng to assist.

However, before the battle of Misukou began, Guangling guarded Pang De and launched a sneak attack on Dantu. The Dantu guarded Lü Meng, who was captured by Pound. Lu Su urgently ordered the general Dong to attack and rescue, but was ambushed by Zhou Cang.

The general, Ding Feng, was shot by a crossbow and died tragically on the warship.

Dong was seriously injured and led the remnants to retreat.

When Lu Su learned about it, he was shocked.

The busy general Zhou Tai rushed to help, and at the same time pleaded with Sun Quan for reinforcements.

But I don't want to make more and more chaos in Huiji County at this time. Originally, Huiji County Shanyue, with He Qi in charge, shocked Shanyue and did not dare to act rashly. But he didn't want Sun Quan to abandon his martial arts and remove He Qi. Without the deterrent power of Heqi, Shanyue lost his previous fear. Therefore, with the assistance of the local heroes, nearly 50,000 Shanyue rebelled, attacked the county seat, plundered the population, and robbed the wealth, causing great harm.

The entire Jiangdong, in an instant, seemed to be a mess.

Zhang Zhao and others suggested that peace be negotiated with Cao Wei.

However, Madarusu and others resolutely opposed it......

When Sun Quan was arguing between the two sides, he suddenly went crazy and beheaded Xue Zong and Xue Jingwen to death.

Although after sobering up, Sun Quan regretted it and ordered someone to be buried.

But this man is dead, and the haze brought to the ministers of Jiangdong cannot be dissipated for a long time......

"Zibu, now the lord is stubborn, he doesn't listen to advice, and he even beheads Xue Jingwen, how is it good?"

In late spring, it rains in Jiangdong.

A light rain shrouded the sky over Jiankang, which made people feel a little depressed.

Zhang Zhao is already old and no longer has the vigorous energy of the past.

Sun Quan beheaded Xue Zong in the court, which really frightened Zhang Zhao. So much so that when he returned home, he fell ill and fell into bed and never recovered. He lay on the couch, watching a few people kneeling in front of the bed, and his heart was extremely bitter.

Yu Translation, Yan Zhen, Cheng Deshu, as well as Zhang Wen and Luo Tong, these are all important ministers of Eastern Wu.

But looking at these people, they all have a look of worry on their faces.

Yu Chuan said softly: "I just got the summons from Ziyi, the son of King Heng, and now, he led his troops to Boluojiang, and the offensive was extremely fierce. Ziyi fought with him several times, but failed to win. Bowen has grown up, and his martial arts are even better. Although Ziyi is good at fighting, he can't win immediately...... However, the lord did not ask for reasons, and sent people to Changsha several times to question Ziyi, and ordered Xu Sheng to supervise the war, which made Ziyi extremely dissatisfied.

If this goes on for a long time, I am afraid that Ziyi may not be able to persevere.

He has always been friendly with Bowen, and if he is forced to be in a hurry, he will be attached to Bowen, and Changsha will be in danger. ”

Everyone present nodded their heads again and again.

Zhang Zhao opened his cloudy old eyes, looked at Yu Xuan, and suddenly asked, "Zhong Xiang thinks, what is good?" ”

Yu Chuan sighed, "It's imperative that the boss also make plans in advance."

Today's lord is no longer the original Marquis of Wu. Bowen's matter made him mess up...... And the killing of Xue Jingwen made the situation even more complicated. I have heard that the people who cross to the south are all panicked. ”

Xue Zong is not a serious Jiangdong person.

He was originally a native of Zhuyi, Pei County, and when Cao Cao conquered Taoqian in Xuzhou, his family moved to Jiangdong.

This Xue Zong is a great Confucian in the world, and he has written tens of thousands of words of poetry and difficulty, and there are also works such as "Erjing Interpretation" and "Five Sects of Illustrations" in circulation. It can be said that Xue Zong, to a large extent, represents the interests of the Nandu people.

And Sun Quan killed Xue Zong, which made many people feel cold.

Zhang Zhao is also a native of Nandu.

His cheeks twitched slightly, and after a while, he said softly: "This is only known to all the gentlemen here, and Zhong Xiang should be cautious when speaking." Take a look again! Now the motor army has not yet been dispatched, and the situation is not irreparable.

Look again, and then plan. ”

Yu Fu and the others looked at each other, and immediately nodded in response.

However, as soon as Yu turned his front foot and left, Zhang Zhao immediately recruited his second son Zhang Xiu.

"Uncle, you take my name and go to Wu County immediately to meet Gu Yuansi. So he said, "Please take care of him a lot." ”

"Huh?"

Zhang Xiu couldn't understand Zhang Zhao's words, and couldn't help but look dazed.

But Zhang Zhao refused to explain to him, and only let him leave immediately.

At the end of the first year of Xinglong, Gu Yong resigned to recuperate at home due to physical discomfort. For more than a year, he has not appeared again and faded out of everyone's sight. But Zhang Zhao vaguely guessed why Gu Yong resigned. Maybe Sun Quan didn't know, but Zhang Zhao knew that Gu Yong was under Cai Yong's tutelage.

and Cai Yong's two daughters, one married Cao Peng, and now she is named Mrs. Yipin Xinguo; and the other married Yang Shu. That sheep is now under Pi Taishou, Lou Tinghou, worship Xuzhou Sima.

In other words, Yang Wei is now acting as Pound's deputy.

The Guangling Cao army should be burdened, and it is all due to the deployment of Yangqi......

With such a relationship, how could Gu Yong ignore it. Presumably he and Cao Wei have already made contact, but they are just waiting for the opportunity. That Gu Yong is an old Jiangdong scholar who has an influence that even Zhang Zhao can't match. Don't look at him silently now, once the time is ripe, he stands up and raises his arms and shouts, and the entire Jiangdong will be chaotic...... Zhang Zhao and Gu Yong are also old friends! How could he not understand Gu Yong's temperament? Now you look at Gu Yong as if he has nothing to do, but if he doesn't have a plan in his heart, how can he sit firmly in Diaoyutai? I can't say that in the future, I really want to ask Gu Yong.

Sending Zhang Xiu over will not attract attention.

Zhang Zhao also believed that Gu Yong must have understood what he meant......

After Zhang Xiu set off, Zhang Zhao leaned on the couch. He closed his eyes and let out a faint sigh.

Jiangdong, the general trend has gone!

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

Chang'an, Wuxin Mansion.

Cao Peng squinted his eyes and watched Jiang Wei and Cao Yang compete in the martial arts arena.

Two children, both grown up!

Cao Yang is eleven years old this year, and Jiang Wei is already twelve.

One of the two worshiped under Huang Zhongmen, and the other followed Zhao Yun to practice martial arts. Huang Zhong's wind and thunder knife technique, as well as Zhao Yun's snake seven explorations, are all true. Sitting on the sidelines, watching the two boys dancing with knives and guns, Cao Peng was in a happy mood.

On the side, Zhuge Liang and Fa Zheng were also commenting with relish.

Cao Zhang really lived up to Cao Peng's expectations, he was a generous lord. He has a bold temperament and a great bearing.

In this, Cao Peng explained the vastness of the world to him back then, which has a great relationship.

After Cao Zhang succeeded to the throne, on the one hand, he reused Xun Yu and other old ministers, and on the other hand, he vigorously promoted newcomers such as Pang Tong, Huang Quan, and Liu Ba. The prosperity of the DPRK and China has also made many people feel relieved.

The only thing that made Cao Peng dissatisfied was Cao Zhang's attitude towards Cao Chong.

He didn't kill Cao Chong, nor did he imprison him, but after reprimanding him, he also gave Cao Chong the position of Marquis of Ye and let him stay in Yecheng. This is also the decision made by Cao Zhang after Mrs. Huan's plea.

According to Cao Peng's thoughts, even if he didn't kill Cao Chong, he should at least be imprisoned.

But Cao Zhang didn't accept it, but reprimanded Cao Peng.

This is also the first time that Cao Zhang has opposed Cao Peng's opinion. In this regard, Cao Peng is both happy and worried. Happily, Cao Zhang finally has the consciousness of an emperor and knows that Qiankun is arbitrary; The worrying thing is that he is so indecisive, which is not a common thing after all. For a long time, it is impossible to raise tigers.

But this is a family matter, and Cao Peng can't get involved too much.

"Princess, Prince Rui is here!"

Just as Cao Peng was pondering, he overheard a report from a retainer on the side.

Cao Peng hurriedly sat up straight and turned his head to look. But seeing the path, Cao Rui jumped up and down and ran all the way.

"Daddy...... Princess! ”

Cao Rui was far away, so he shouted happily.

Although it has been nearly four years, when Cao Rui saw Cao Peng, he still couldn't help but want to call him 'Daddy'.

Cao Peng glanced left and right, and Fa Zheng and Zhuge Liang hurriedly got up and retreated.

Behind Cao Rui, he also followed Wu Yan.

With a loyal look, he stopped at a distance of about 100 paces.

"I ...... How is the prince doing lately? ”

"I ...... It's good, I just want to be a princess...... The queen is so stern and always troubles me. My mother said that she wanted me to be patient, but I really didn't want to endure it any longer. Daddy, I want to go home...... May I? ”

The child's immature voice touched the softest place in Cao Peng's heart.

He hugged Cao Rui and said in a voice that only his father and son could hear, "Xiao Rui, don't worry...... When the time comes, Daddy will let you come back. But until then, you have to be patient.

In a few days, I will send someone to accompany you, if Xiao Rui misses his father, let me tell me. ”

"Hmm!"

In the garden, only Cao Peng's father and son remained......

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

"Childe, it's not easy to live in Chang'an!"

After sending Cao Rui away, Zhuge Liang and Fa Zheng stepped forward.

"What do you mean by that?"

Zhuge Liang glanced at Fa Zheng and said softly: "Your Majesty went out on this expedition, but did not let Gongzi lead the troops. If he didn't have a little jealousy in his heart, Liang couldn't believe it. Of course, His Majesty still trusts Gongzi very much. This can be seen from the fact that he appointed Gongzi as a general, a very popular minister, and sat in Chang'an. But how long can this trust last? Liang was a little skeptical...... Now, in addition to the master's high achievements, there is still Prince Rui involved. After a long time, it is difficult to ensure that His Majesty will not be suspicious. ”

Cao Peng's cheeks twitched twice.

He took a deep breath and said softly, "Then Kong Ming thinks, what should I do?" ”

"If the prince is in Chang'an for one more day, Prince Yu Rui will be one more disadvantage, and His Majesty will be one more suspicious.

Childe is a general, but what is the difference between a general who has no soldiers in his hands and fish to be slaughtered on the chopping board? The prince wants to think about the prince Rui and wants to plan for the future, but it is useless to rely on the iron coupon passed down by the first emperor to avoid death. Liang thought that if he lived in Chang'an, he would die, and if he led the troops outside, he would live, so please think twice. ”

After Cao Peng groaned, he nodded slightly.

But the question is, how can you get out?

Fa Zheng smiled slightly, "I've heard people say that Kebi Neng has been quite restless lately.

His people are deeply involved with Ding Linghujie and the Mobei Xiongnu, and if they don't get it right, they will send troops to attack Lingzhou......

I can't say that when the time comes, Suli, the king of Xianbei, will send someone to ask for help.

Why didn't Childe take this opportunity to send troops to help and garrison Lingzhou? When the time comes, everything will fall into place. ”

Suli, the king of Xianbei, is just a puppet.

Now the real person in charge of Xianbei is Hongdu.

This Hongdu has an extremely close relationship with Cao Peng, Cao Peng once saved his life, and single-handedly helped Hongdu to the position of the tribal lord. In other words, Hong Du is Cao Peng's person, but not too many people know about it.

Cao Peng's heart moved, and he was silent.

After a while, he said softly: "I have my own opinions on this matter, you two, don't mention it to others again." By the way, Kong Ming...... I heard that your brother is not in good health, should you let him come back to Chang'an? He is very knowledgeable and has experience in governance, so I think he can get a position in Taixue. Prince Rui is not young, it is time to learn...... I still hope that there will be someone who understands and teaches him knowledge. ”

What Cao Peng said was Zhuge Jun.

However, at this time, Zhuge Jun is still called Ge Jun to the outside world.

Originally, after Zhuge Liang was attached, Cao Peng had intended to let Zhuge Jun change back to his original name, but Zhuge Liang refused.

Now it seems that Zhuge Liang is still prescient.

There are not many people who know Zhuge Jun's identity, except for a few henchmen, only Sima Hui knows.

However, Sima Hui passed away last year.

In this way, even fewer people know Zhuge Jun's identity.

Even now Hexi County's Taishou Huban, who is so close to the Cao family, doesn't know the origin of Zhuge Jun.

Zhuge is well-educated and strategic.

Coupled with the secret help of Wu Cang, Wu Yan and others, as well as the Zhen clan, it was enough to make Cao Rui sit back and relax.

Zhuge Liang is overjoyed!

Transferring Zhuge back also means that the interests of the Zhuge clan will be guaranteed.

He hurriedly thanked Cao Peng, "My brother is naturally suitable." ”

"So...... So be it.

I'm going to visit my brother-in-law's house in a moment. He is a man who likes to be serious too much...... When I became a Dali Siqing, I thought it would be easier, but now it seems that it is far harder than being the governor of that state.

My sister has said several times in private that if I don't visit again, I will be reprimanded again. ”

Zhuge Liang and Fa Zheng smiled slightly, "Son, just go, a few young sons will also have classes in a while." ”

Cao Peng nodded, then took Wang Shuang, left the Wuxin Mansion, and went straight to Dali Temple......
