It's dawn!

Lu Lan opened his eyes in a drowsy manner, only to feel a splitting headache, and a whirling feeling of dizziness hit.

The cold winter sun shone on her face, piercing her eyes.

"Auntie."

Lu Lan snorted softly, and Mrs. Yan turned around.

"Auntie, why are you dressed like this?" Lu Lan looked at Mrs. Yan in military uniform, and couldn't help but feel a little strange. She turned her head to look, but saw that Erniang and Xiaoniang were also dressed in military uniforms, even including Qi'er, who also wore armor and were dressed like ordinary soldiers.

The wheels creaked and crushed against the ground.

Lu Lan seemed to understand something in an instant...... "Daddy?" ”

Mrs. Yan felt a pain in her heart for no reason, her eyes were red, and tears were rolling in her eyes.

"A-Niang, what's going on? Where did Daddy go? Where are we? Auntie, hurry up! ”

A series of questions made Mrs. Yan not know how to answer.

After a while, she said softly, "Lingqi, let's go to Yilu Township now...... Haven't you always wanted to see the sea? Let's go see ......."

"No, I want Daddy, I don't go to Yilu Township, I want to go home."

Lu Lan's surname is a little coquettish, but it doesn't mean that she is a fool.

What was in front of her made her quickly understand the mystery. That's right, she hated Lu Bu before...... hated Lu Bu for starting a war lightly, hated that Lu Bu must marry her to Yuan Shu's son. But when Lu Bu took her to break through the camp, that kind of caution and that kind of care made the hatred in Lu Lan's heart disappear long ago. She is Lu Bu's daughter, and she is destined to not be able to do some things as she wants.

Diao Chan hugged Lu Lan tightly in his arms, "Lingqi, don't make trouble!"

We don't have a home anymore...... For your sake, your father is determined to break through to attract Cao Jun's attention, and some people even risk their lives to rescue us from Xiapi. Listen to me, your daddy will be fine! He dismounted from his crotch and drew a halberd in his palm, and no one in the world could beat him. Let's go over first, and in a few days, your father will be back. When the time comes, we can be together as a family again. ”

"But ......"

The tears in Lu Lan's eyes, like pearls with broken threads, fell down in a flutter.

Breakthrough?

Easier said than done!

If Lu Lan didn't know the cruelty of war before, then the siege of Xiapi this time made her fully aware of the danger.

At this time, Gao Shun stepped forward and said softly, "Madam, it's time to get out of the car!" ”

"Huh?"

"In front is the Cao army outpost, and after the past, it is under the rule of Qu Yang.

Xiahou sent someone to inform me, and everyone got out of the car and walked forward. After arriving in Quyang, someone answered us...... Xiahou said, Shulong is still alive, and now he is waiting for us in Yilu Township. Everything has been arranged, and we need to hurry as soon as possible. ”

Mrs. Yan said, "I know! ”

She turned her head to look at the four women in the car, and said softly, "Let's go, let's get out of the car!" ”

———————————————————————— Cao Peng and Chen Qun walked side by side, and they didn't speak all the way.

Chen Qun was a little silent, and after a while, he spoke: "Lu Bu's body, I am responsible for the burial." I will order someone to bury his coffin at the foot of Geyi Mountain, next to the ancestral water temple. If you're going to find it, it's easy to ...... I'll try to make some annotations then. ”

"Changwen, thank you!"

"You're doing this a little recklessly...... Although you and Lu Bu don't have much contact, they have had contact after all.

If someone really wants to track it down, it's not difficult. If Cao Gong doesn't want to pursue it, that's it, if he wants to pursue it...... You'd better get them out as soon as possible and not be discovered...... It is best to arrange for them to go overseas, so that Cao Gong will not be able to track them down. ”

"Overseas?"

Cao Peng frowned.

"Xuzhou and Qingzhou are all under the rule of Cao Gong.

Jizhou is also unsafe...... In other places, there are so many heroes that you can't take care of them at all. The best way to do that is to go overseas ......"

There was no one left and right, Chen Qun took out a pair of white silk from his arms and stuffed it into Cao Peng's hand.

"A few years ago, I saved a maritime merchant by chance. This person travels back and forth overseas all year round, so he loosened a pair of charts for me. In the northeast of Qishan, there is a peninsula. The island is entrenched in three countries and is extremely chaotic. It is a place of barbarians, and it is said that Ru Mao drank blood and lived. Life may be a little hard, but it's always better than the dangers on this side. I know you have some power in your hands, so send them to Mahan......"

"Mahan?"

"Exactly."

Chen Qun lowered his voice, "There is a general under Lu Bu, who is famous and good at fighting.

This person is loyal to Lu Bu, but from Lu Bu's breakthrough to the present, he has not appeared. Presumably...... You know! With him, there are hundreds of soldiers and horses, which is enough to run rampant with Ma Han. If they can gain a firm foothold over there, it is impossible for Cao Gong to continue to pursue it. ”

Ma Han ...... Isn't it one of the three Koreas?

According to legend, the original aborigines of North Korea are descendants of Samhan.

Could it be that Chen Qun is talking about the Korean Peninsula?

Cao Peng glanced at Chen Qun in surprise and put away the white silk map.

Chen Qun can do this step, which can be described as benevolent and righteous. He himself has not been able to gain a firm foothold in Cao Ying, so he is willing to help himself.

Cao Peng was very grateful.

At the same time, he also felt a little scared.

He thought that what he had done was unaware of the ghosts. Unexpectedly, it was still seen by others.

Chen Qun can see the flaws, so it is difficult to guarantee that someone will see the clues. At least from the previous conversation with Cao Ying, Cao Peng felt Cao Ying's doubts. You must know that under Cao Ying's account, there are many characters who are more powerful than Chen Qun. Guo Jia and Xun You don't talk about it, Xun Yu and Cheng Yu, who has never seen it so far, and Jia Xu, who is about to return to Cao Ying, which one is not a resourceful person?

Cao Peng arched his hand and said, "Brother, thank you!" ”

Chen Qun just smiled, but didn't say anything more to Cao Peng, and hurriedly left.

This is a very affectionate guy!

Cao Peng sighed secretly, went straight to the camp, and joined Gan Ning.

Then, he found Cao Hong again and said goodbye to Cao Hong.

Cao Hong knew about Cao Peng's task, so he didn't keep it, but just asked him to be more careful.

"Ah Fu, how many soldiers and horses do you have in your hands now?"

"There are three hundred people following me at the moment...... There are two hundred left on the sea tomb.

However, the Haixi forces had almost been evacuated by me before, so I thought about it and wanted to send some people from the lower phase and Quyang. ”

"Ha, that's very good.

Let me tell you one thing, your brother-in-law is very likely to be appointed as the governor of Tuntian, and he will be in charge of the Tuntian affairs in the Haixi region of Quyang. In this way, Haixi will become the largest tuntian area in the eastern part of the two Huai. When the time comes, it will inevitably make people jealous, and it is also a good thing to have some soldiers and horses in hand. Anyway, Haixi has a lot of grain in stock this year, so let's do it, I'll send you 500 soldiers, and then suggest Sikong to deliver all the Quyang soldiers and horses to Haixi...... As for the next phase...... Ah Fu, I still have something I want to ask you to let the strict law come under my hands, I don't know if it's okay? ”

"Do you want the fifth brother to help?"

Cao Peng was stunned, and then a little happy.

As Deng Fan's martial arts gradually improved, and at the same time, after a year of training, his ability was much stronger than when he was in Xudu.

If you can follow Cao Hong, the future will be limitless.

Cao Hong said: "I have received the news, and Sikong wants to make me the Taishou of Chen County." ”

"Ah...... Congratulations to my uncle. ”

Chen Qun, located in Yuzhou, formerly known as Chen Guo.

It is adjacent to Chenliu and Runan, and protects the flanks of Xudu.

Cao Hong smiled bitterly: "But the place in Chenjun is quite complicated, and I have no one to use. I originally wanted to find Zixiao to borrow someone, but Zixiao was about to go to Hanoi and couldn't help me...... Hehe, you also know that my popularity is not very good, and when it comes to the critical time, there is not even a person available around. Deng Yanfa's martial arts are good, and he has a close relationship with you and me. After the war in Xuzhou is settled, it is estimated that there will be no major war in Haixi. It is useless to let him continue to stay in Haixi, it is better to follow me. ”

My own brother, of course, hopes to have a good future.

Cao Zhen is now staying in Haw Par Riding, with a bright future, and there is no need for Cao Peng to bother.

Dian is full of Xu Yi, the son of Jiangmen, with their father, and they don't need Cao Peng's help; As for Zhu Zan and Cao Zun, one served under the account of the captain of Si Li, and the other was the captain of the northern part of Luoyang. Speaking of which, in Xiao Bayi, except for Cao Peng, all have great prospects. If Deng Fan can really make meritorious achievements under Cao Hong's account, the future will definitely be bright. As for Cao Peng and Wang Mai, they are slightly younger.

"I don't have an opinion, my uncle is willing to promote the fifth brother, and it's too late for me to be happy.

It's better to do this, when I pass by, talk to the fifth brother, and let him come to you when the time comes. ”

"That's good!"

After —————————————————————————— said goodbye to Cao Hong, it was already noon.

Xiapi has basically calmed down, and the brigade of soldiers and horses have withdrawn from Xiapi City one after another, while Cao Ying is sitting in the royal city to meet with the celebrities and gentry of Xiapi.

Cao Peng and Gan Ning left Xiapi.

In the evening, he arrived at the lower prime minister and met with Deng Fan Panzhang.

Cao Peng told Deng Fan about Cao Hong's request.

Deng Fan hesitated, but under Cao Peng's persuasion, he finally nodded and agreed.

Pan Zhang, on the other hand, rushed to Quyang overnight, and handed over the defense of the prime minister to the envoy sent by Cao Ying.

After dark, Cao Peng stayed in the next phase station.

He spread out the map given to him by Chen Qun on the bookcase, studied it carefully, and finally determined that the Ma Han that Chen Qun was talking about was a country on the Korean Peninsula. During the Sui and Tang dynasties, Mahan changed its name to Baekje and was later exterminated by Silla, the ancestor of later Koreans. There is another country on the Korean Peninsula, and that is Goshi Goguryeo. Many people regard Goguryeo as the ancestor of the Koreans, which is actually another mistake. Goguryeo is an ancient ethnic group in the northeast of China in ancient times, and the ancient literature calls it "Baimin", "Haoren" or "Fa Ren". Later, it merged with the descendants of Wei Manchu Korea to form the Goguryeo Kingdom.

It is also called Go's Goguryeo.

Silla and Baekje, on the other hand, are made up of descendants of Samhan, the ancestors of the Koreans.

Chen Qun's meaning is very clear: no matter where the Lu family is, it is not safe...... Not very safe, at least for now.

The only way out is to go into exile.

Samhan sounds very powerful, but in fact, during the Three Kingdoms period, it was vulnerable.

Cao Peng carefully analyzed the map and found that if he started from Yuzhou Mountain (that is, Lianyungang in later times, the east and west islands) and crossed the Bohai Bay, he could land in Mahan in about three days. Several ports are marked on the map and are accompanied by extremely detailed explanations.

If...... Cao Peng sat alone in the room and muttered for a long time.

After a while, he found Gan Ning and told him all his thoughts.

"The reminder of the long article today made me feel like I was empowered. I thought I was secretive, but there are impermeable walls under the sky...... Although Yuzhou Mountain is secret, it is under the rule of Cao Gong after all.

As long as Cao Gong is willing, he can send people to the sea from Qushan Mountain at any time to inspect Yuzhou Mountain. And Qishan is not under our rule, so we can't control it at all. Therefore, the best way, as the long text said, is to send the ladies to Mahan for evasion, and Cao Gong will no longer be able to track it down. ”

"Mahan?"

Gan Ning couldn't help frowning.

"But the ladies don't have more than Gao Shuncao's surname in their hands, and no more than 100 soldiers......"

"This time, I sent the ladies to Yilu Township, and there were 500 people. Most of these people are subordinate ministers, and they are Cao Shulong's subordinates, and their surname is ......"

"Give these people back to the surname Cao?"

Gan Ning had a headache and said: "But there are five hundred fewer people all of a sudden, will it be too eye-catching?" ”

"Let my brother-in-law recruit 500 people from the Bingtun and make up enough of this number."

"It seems that this is the only way."

"Early tomorrow morning, I will go to Xu County to persuade Zhang Liao to surrender.

Xingba, you and Wen Jue go to Quyang together. After arriving in Quyang, you and Zishan immediately returned to Haixi and tried to get this matter done.

In short, don't let the news go, or you and I will be in big trouble. ”

Gan Ning nodded, indicating understanding.

Early the next morning, Cao Peng only took a dozen people and set off for Xu County; Gan Ning and Pan Zhang hurried back to Quyang.

—————————————————————— Xu County, located in the lower reaches of Surabaya.

When Cao Peng arrived in Xu County, it was already the third day of the destruction of Xiapi City.

Chen Deng also stopped the attack on Xu County, and after meeting Cao Peng, Chen Deng retreated ten miles and began to rest.

As for Cao Peng, he rode alone and came to the city of Xuxian County.

"Please inform General Zhang Liao, just say that my old friend Cao Peng is coming to visit."

Cao Peng did not hold a weapon, wore a black robe, and bowed his hand under the city, asking the sergeant on the city tower to report.

A moment later, the city gate of Xuxian County opened. Two columns of soldiers and horses stood on either side of the city gate. I saw them, their clothes and armor were dirty, and their hair was messy, but they all exuded a murderous aura. The big sword and spear in his hand shimmered in the sun. A cavalry general shouted at the gate of the city: "Cao Peng, my general is invited." ”

Dismounted?

Cao Peng couldn't help laughing!

With a calm look, he urged his horse into the city gates.

As his figure entered the cave of the city gate, the gate was immediately closed.

Under the guidance of the cavalry, Cao Peng walked along the messy long street and came to the gate of the Xuxian County Yamen.

Along the way, I saw ruins and broken walls, and homeless civilians everywhere, crowded in hidden sheds. Their expressions were stiff and their eyes glazed over.

Cao Ying besieged Xiapi for nearly 20 days, and the pressure on Xu County was no less than that of Xiapi.

Outside the county yamen, Cao Peng jumped off his horse and stepped up the steps.

But he saw a large cauldron in the courtyard of the forecourt. The kettle was filled with oil, and firewood was piled up under the kettle, and the flames were raging, so that the entire vestibule was filled with the smell of boiling oil.

Zhang Liao sat in the hall, with a bookcase in front of him, a sharp sword, quietly placed.

"Ah Fu, if you want to persuade me to surrender here, don't blame Zhang Liao for not talking about the past."

As soon as Cao Pengcai walked into the hall, Zhang Liao shouted loudly.

I saw him grab his sword, swing it and fall. With a click, the corner of the bookcase was cut off by the sword, and the incision was smooth, which was shocking.

Cao Peng, laughed!
