Chapter 471: Who is Gu Zang Ling?

It's only April, and the temperature rises sharply. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Perhaps due to the fact that the war was raging, the north of the river became hot. Since March, Yecheng has been almost soaked in blood...... Yuan Shang showed unprecedented tenacity and fought with Cao's army for a month.

The towering Yecheng city wall collapsed several times, but it was desperately gambled by Yuan Jun.

Cao Cao couldn't remember how many times Cao's army had attacked the head of Yecheng, but was stubbornly driven down by Yuan's army.

Noriman was wounded in the thigh and withdrew from the fight.

Xu Yi was shot several times in the body, and if it weren't for the desperate protection of the pro-army, he might even die in the city.

In addition, there are countless generals of the Cao army, either dead or wounded, it is difficult to count...... Cao Jun and Yuan Jun both played a real fire. Cao Cao, who originally thought that he could easily conquer Yecheng, did not expect to encounter such fierce resistance. In a month, Cao Jun suffered countless casualties, and Yuan Jun also suffered heavy casualties, which is difficult to calculate.

To this extent, Yuan Jun of Yecheng also knew that once Yecheng was broken, they would definitely not end well.

And Cao Jun was also furious, such heavy casualties made them all red-eyed......

However, everyone can see that Yecheng is now a trapped beast, and the defeat is basically irretrievable.

The battle situation in Hedong has also begun to take a turn for the better.

Although the senior cadres temporarily gained the upper hand, they were unable to advance......

Liangzhou, which was pinned on by Yuan Shang, also did not make any movement. After Ma Teng captured Jincheng County, he lost the nest of Wuwei County. Fortunately, his father-in-law, Fei Wo, had some means in Jincheng County and quickly helped Ma Teng gain a firm foothold. Moreover, through the relationship between Fei Wo, Ma Teng and Hehuang Qiang Hu reached an understanding, especially Burning Dangqiang, and also temporarily made peace with Ma Teng. Ma Teng opened Longqi City and no longer burned Dangqiang; And Burning Dangqiang is also willing to obey Ma Teng's dispatch, and when necessary, give Ma Teng support in terms of troops, which seems to be a great joy for everyone.

But Ma Teng knew that he was in Jincheng County and lacked sufficient deterrence.

The reason why Burndangqiang is willing to talk about peace is because in the past years, Ma Teng has suffered a lot of damage to his vitality.

Burning when the king needs a respite process!

As soon as Ma Teng reveals his flaws, then Lao Wang will definitely rush up and bite him to pieces like the wild wolf living in the Hehuang region. Therefore, there are only two ways in front of Ma Teng, either to recapture Wuwei County, or to find another way, to achieve other victories, whether it is to appease or deter, and quickly gain a foothold in Jincheng County.

But how do you choose?

Ma Teng hesitated......

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

The battle in Liangzhou has not progressed for a long time.

Hedong also fell into anxiety.

Liu Bei didn't dare to act rashly anymore to test Cao Cao's bottom line.

In particular, Jia Xu arrived in Nanyang County from Runan and sat in Wancheng, which quickly stabilized the chaotic situation in Nanyang County.

After all, he walked out from Nanyang County and returned to Cao Cao.

Therefore, for Jia Xu's return, Zhang Xiu's part expressed great welcome.

Even Zhang Quan in the city was willing to obey Jia Xu's dispatch. Therefore, after Jia Xu arrived in Wancheng, his first order was to let Li Dian and Zhang Quan change their guards. It was an excellent choice for Li Dian to take over the defense of the city. After all, Li Dian has a cautious personality, and he is calm and knows what is important. In comparison, Zhang Quan is still a little younger.

Subsequently, Jia Xufu asked Xu Du for his life, transferred Zhonglang to Wei Yan, and left the town of Huyang.

Wei Yan is a native of Nanyang County, and to a large extent, he can appease the somewhat fluctuating people's hearts in Nanyang County. In this battle of Hebei, Wei Yan did not go to battle with the army, but stationed in Yanjin to ensure Cao Cao's endless grain route. After thinking about it, Xun Yu agreed to Jia Xu's request and ordered Wei Yan to immediately lead his troops and horses to Huyang to take over the defense......

Jia Xu did not rush to attack, nor did he order the immediate recapture of An Zhong and Nieyang.

He has stabilized Nanyang County with an extremely stable mentality, so that Liu Bei can no longer bargain. Then calmly set up your defenses and wait for your moment. Jia Xu, like a wolf in the northwest, is waiting for Liu Bei to reveal his flaws.

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

The war in Wuwei has subsided.

The scorching sun in April is like fire, and the weather in Wuwei is starting to get hot...... Cao Peng did not return to Hexi County, but ordered Buqi to temporarily lead the affairs of Hexi County, and he led his troops to garrison Guzang and began to deal with the affairs of Wuwei County.

It is often said that it is easy to fight the world, but it is difficult to govern the world.

In fact, governing a Wuwei County is also a troublesome matter.

From Cao Peng's dispatch of troops to the capture of Wuwei Nine Counties, it was only a short month. However, if you want to calm down Wuwei County, it will take more energy and time. Wuwei County is the key to Cao Peng's opening up of the Hexi Corridor.

Therefore, if Wuwei is prosperous, Hexi will be prosperous.

If Wuwei is too peaceful, Cao Peng's wealth will roll in.

How can we make Wuwei County stable?

First of all, it is not possible to remove a large number of officials, because this will inevitably cause the morale of those who have been demoted to fluctuate, which may be counterproductive.

However, some county officials must be reassigned.

For example, Wuwei County, Xiutu County, Cangsong County, and Luanniao County...... If Gu Zang is included, Cao Peng must appoint five officials. Among them, Gu Zang Ling is the most important thing, if there is no suitable candidate, Cao Peng does not dare to appoint it easily.

Pang Tong was a little unwilling!

He planned painstakingly and prepared to transfer troops to teach Ma Teng a profound lesson.

Who knew that this Gu Zang suddenly fell, and Ma Tengjun was so frightened that he immediately retreated, and actually retreated to Lingju, not daring to move.

As a result, all kinds of tricks and traps prepared by Pang Tong were useless.

Not only is it useless, but just restoring it to its original appearance will cost a lot of manpower and material resources. was so angry that Pang Tong simply became the shopkeeper after learning the news. handed over Cangsong to Pan Zhang to take over, and led Xiahoulan and Han De back to Guzang.

Pan Zhang, in order to protect the Qiang Lieutenant, stationed in Guzang, is understandable.

Later, Cao Peng ordered Deng Fan to garrison Wuwei County, echoing Meng Jianyao of Fengming Fort, in order to deter the Duye Xiqiang tribes.

Although Tang Hoof surrendered!

But Xiqiang is not peaceful......

A new round of competition is about to kick off.

Yadan, Cherrigi, and Tang Hoof are all ready to move. Cherrigi was Yadan's subordinate, but after the battle in Wuwei County, he became ambitious. He was unwilling to be under Yadan for the rest of his life, and even wanted to replace him.

Between the three of them, there will inevitably be a dragon fight.

When Xu Shu left Wuwei County, he told Deng Fan: Mo Liqiang is a personnel and abides by neutrality. Qiang personnel, Qiang people dispose, but remember, they must not be allowed to divide the results immediately. The more chaotic Xiqiang is, the more fierce the Tang Hoof and their fight will be, and the more conducive it will be to control it for so long. At the same time, Xu Shu also arranged for Li Ding and Dou Hu to stay in Wuwei County.

The two of them are familiar with the habits of the Qiang people, so they can deal with the Qiang people and take the opportunity to win over naturalization......

By the time Tang Hoof and the others split the results, presumably the overall situation of Duye was already in the hands of Deng Fan......

"General Yan Fa, you are the captain of Zhengqiang.

The word 'sign' is destined not to be too soft-hearted. If Xiqiang is disobedient, you should educate him well. ”

Deng Fan couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

"Don't worry, Deng knows how to deal with it."

Subsequently, Xu Shu led Cao Zhangniugang and left Wuwei County and went straight to Guzang.

"Xuanwei County Order, Luanniao County Order, can make Geng Qing take over."

Cao Peng ticked the list in front of him, then raised his head and said with a wry smile: "But Gu Zangling, who can bear it?" ”

Pang Tong and the others also shook their heads helplessly.

They really didn't know much about the situation in Wuwei County, so they turned their attention to Jia Xing.

Jia Xing shook his head, "Don't look at me...... I rarely left Liangzhou with my father-in-law, how do I know that there are too many things in this martial arts? ”

Cao Peng thought about it and waved his hand.

"Simply like this, Yin Feng was ordered to serve as the captain of Xuanwei's army, stationed in Xiutu, and commanded Xuanwei.

Jiang Xu went to Lian Fort as a lieutenant and assisted Jia Kui in garrisoning Lingwu Valley. Gu Zangling's candidates, let's put it first.

By the way, can you send someone to Jiuquan to contact Su Ze? ”

Jia Xing said: "A messenger has been sent. Now that Wu Wei has succeeded, Zou Qi is a little panicked, I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on for too long. The general also had to start preparations to take over the affairs of Zhangye County. Presumably Su Taishou, there will be good news soon. ”

Cao Peng didn't know much about Su Ze.

But listening to the meaning of Jia Xing's words, it seems that he admires Su Ze very much.

Presumably, it was another cowman hidden by the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. However, Cao Peng also knew very well that the reason why Su Ze helped him was not necessarily because he was interested in Cao Cao, but because he was an official appointed by the imperial court......

Whether he is Xiang Han or Xiang Cao Wei is not clear.

Dealing with Su Ze is inevitable, but you have to be reserved. You can cooperate, but you can't trust everything, you need to observe slowly.

Cao Peng thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid it's difficult for me to meddle in the affairs of Zhangye County.

Please tell Su Taishou that it is bounded by weak water. I only ask Rile, the other five counties, I can't control it, please forgive him. ”

When Jia Xing heard this, he immediately smiled.

"What the general said is very true, and I also think that it is enough to ask for a day."

Rile is bordered by the Great Wall of Han in the north and weak water in the south, and is the closest town to Wuwei. After the Great Wall, it is the Qianghu District, which is of little significance to Cao Peng. If he wants to take over the six counties of Zhangye, he will inevitably further disperse his troops, causing problems in staffing. A Wuwei County, Cao Peng hasn't swallowed it yet, so why bother to forcibly eat Zhangye?

The reason why Cao Peng wanted Rile was because Rile was a place where Hu merchants in the Western Regions must pass through. At the same time, this Rile can also be used as a bridgehead in the western part of Wuwei County, with weak water as a barrier, at least to a certain extent, to ensure the safety of Wuwei County. After all, Guori Le is the three counties in the west of Wuwei. That's not a safe place......

"Relle, who can go?"

Cao Peng scratched his head, a little embarrassed.

There are indeed many capable people under him now.

But there really aren't too many things that can come in handy...... If Kan Ze can come, he may be able to alleviate the scarcity of Cao Peng's manpower. However, he is now in Haixi, and it is estimated that he will not be able to come to Wuwei County in a short time......

To be an official, you need to have a qualification.

Xu Shu is better, after all, he has served as a county magistrate in Dong County, and it is more than enough to serve as the county magistrate of Xia County. But the problem is that it is too condescending to let Xu Shu be a county magistrate! He played very well in Wuwei County, and Cao Peng hoped that Xu Shu could stay by his side and do things. In addition, Cao Peng really couldn't find a suitable candidate.

"Childe, there is a candidate for so-and-so, which is quite suitable."

"Who?"

Pang Tongyi smiled, "Why did Childe forget your disciple?" ”

"You mean...... Ziwen? ”

"Exactly!"

When Cao Peng heard this, he couldn't help frowning, and said softly: "Ziwen is not yet fourteen, so it is a little inappropriate for him to be the county magistrate." Besides, Rile is quite critical, and Ziwen is not enough to take charge on his own. ”

"Hehe, what's so hard about that?"

Pang Tong opened the folding fan with a snap, and his movements were extremely chic.

"Gongzi can order Su to be the commander of Ren Rile, and then order Ziwen to assist the army.

Come to think of it, Gongzi wants Rile, more because he hopes to use Rile to open up the trade route in the Western Regions. Ziwen can lead the army into battle, and he can hone it. At the same time, Su Younai is the son of Su Shuang and is good at business. He can be well rooted in Žiler. ”

Cao Peng, a little moved.

It was getting late, and the night breeze from the northwest blew through, dispelling the heat of the day.

Cao Peng was alone, walked out of the study, stood on the porch, held on to the railing, and watched the lilacs bloom in the courtyard, but his thoughts were not very calm.

Whether to let Cao Zhang out of Zhenrile, he has not yet made a decision.

But I have to say that letting Cao Zhang take over Rile is indeed the best choice. Thinking of that Sun Quan, at the age of thirteen, he sat in the position of Fengyi lieutenant. Cao Zhang is also thirteen years old, why can't he sit in Rile? But the question is, will Cao Cao agree? This is a problem...... At the same time, when he arrives in Rile and is far away from the Central Plains, can he stand the loneliness?

Scratching his head, Cao Peng felt very embarrassed.

The question of Zhile can be put aside for the time being.

After all, Su Ze's side has not yet achieved results, and it is inevitably a little early to think about Rile's matter now...... In the unlikely event of any accidents, it is necessary to make a decision based on the situation. So there's no need to rush a decision.

Gu Zang Ling!

This is the problem that makes Cao Peng feel the most headache.

Out of the corner of his eye, a figure suddenly flashed.

Cao Peng turned around abruptly and shouted, "Who is there?" ”

A graceful figure walked out from the corners of the two houses. Through the light, Cao Peng recognized the person, who was Ma Teng's daughter, Ma Wenlu.

Ma Wenlu has appeared in the wild history, and there is no record in the official history.

Even in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it did not appear.

It's just that there is a saying that Ma Wenlu is Zhao Yun's wife. But Cao Peng didn't believe it...... Because Zhao Yun is now in his thirties, and Ma Wenlu is less than twenty. She has never walked out of Liangzhou, and Zhao Yun has never entered Wuwei, how can the two meet? Even if Ma Chao later took refuge in Liu Bei, I'm afraid it is unlikely.

Cao Peng said in a deep voice: "Miss Wenlu, is there something wrong?" ”

After the Ma family's family members were captured, Cao Peng didn't embarrass them much. Except for a few places where traffic is prohibited, their footsteps can cover the entire back house. Of course, without Cao Peng's consent, they couldn't leave the county. In addition, the degree of food and clothing, as before, Cao Peng did not deduct anything from them.

Ma Wenlu bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and then said loudly: "General Cao, I only ask, when will you let us go......"
