Chapter 514: Master and Apprentice (2/2)

Accidentally, I actually wrote 10,000 words today. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Hehe, cheeky *** and recommended votes...... I don't know if this month, can it break through 1,000***?

If you can, at the beginning of next month, there will be a surprise for the old and new.

————————————————————————————

Wuwei is far away......

The pine city wall is no longer visible.

Entering Jincheng from Wuwei, Zhang He felt a completely different feeling from what he saw when he came. Wuwei is full of vitality and vitality. In contrast, Jincheng County is somewhat desolate. As for Longxi, when you first enter the territory, you can feel a kind of desolation and fiasco after the war. From Longxi all the way to Wuwei, it is a feeling of becoming more and more prosperous and lively, and stepping on the way home, what I feel is a feeling of becoming more and more dilapidated.

It is no wonder that it has been a year since Wu Wei was captured by Cao Peng.

After a year of recuperation, it is gradually rejuvenating.

Especially since the beginning of this year, Wuwei began to implement the law of tuntian, and various policies to help farmers and mulberry were introduced, which also added more passion to Wuwei County. Jincheng County didn't experience too many wars last year! However, in the early stage, in order to support Ma Teng, Jincheng County spent a lot of money and food, which greatly damaged the vitality. Now that Cheng Gongying has taken over Jincheng County, he is unable to implement the law of Tuntian on a large scale. He needs at least a year to prepare and recuperate.

As for Longxi County, it is even more unbearable.

In terms of ability and popularity, Zhao Ang is undoubtedly a few points stronger than Cheng Gongying.

But throughout the second half of the ninth year of Jian'an, Longxi County was shrouded in war. First, Ma Teng attacked Longxi, and then Xiangwu and Zhangxian were scorched; Lintao fought a fierce battle, and Di Dao won a great victory...... Even in the later period, the conflict between Cao Peng and the Wei people of Liangzhou caused the complete ruin of Longxi County. According to Cao Peng's estimate, if Longxi wants to recover, it will be difficult to succeed in two years. Why...... It's easy! Population, population ...... The successive wars have drastically reduced the population of Longxi County. During the Weiduan period, the population of Longxi County was about 300,000, and by the end of the Longxi War, the population had dropped sharply to more than 200,000 in just a few months. Its population is not even as large as that of Hexi County.

In such a situation, it is indeed troublesome to recover.

This is also the reason why Zhang He feels desolate and dilapidated......

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

Zhang He gradually walked out of the shock when he left Guzang.

However, he was still a little nervous.

Traveling all the way from Guzang, passing through Cangsong and other counties, there are often scenes of welcoming and sending off the city, which makes him feel inexplicably nervous.

However, while being nervous, there is also some enthusiasm.

Husband, it should be so!

It seems that Cao Peng's understanding has also been much deeper along the way.

In the past, even after being captured by Gan Ning, Zhang He always felt that Cao Peng had a false reputation. He was able to break into a great reputation, which was due to his identity as a nephew of the Cao Cao clan. If there is no Cao Cao's aura, it is estimated that it is ordinary. But now, Zhang He found that he seemed to be wrong! Cao Peng was able to make most of Liangzhou surrender in a short period of time, not because he was Cao Cao's nephew. This is his ability, and it is his ability, not his origin.

In fact, when he was in Chang'an, Zhang He also realized it!

Even Yang Fu, Zhao Qu and others, who were the most fierce anti-Cao Peng, were only angry that Cao Peng killed Wei Duan's father and son.

Even when leaving Chang'an, Yang Fu chased after him and stopped Zhang He.

"Jun Yi can't be rude when he sees General Cao."

At that time, Zhang He still found it interesting.

Aren't you, Yang Yishan, eager for Cao Peng to die? Why did he come here and say these good things for Cao Peng?

Now, he seems to understand!

Yang Fu impeached Cao Peng, and Cao Peng should be investigated for his crimes, which is a personal friendship.

He has been following Wei Duan for a long time, and he can be regarded as Wei Duan's henchman. Moreover, Wei Duan represents the interests of the Guan Sergeant clan, and Yang Fu is precisely a member of the Guan Sergeant clan. However, from the perspective of justice, Yang Fu may not necessarily approve of Wei Duan. In fact, Cao Peng's occupation of Wuwei and the defense of Hexi was definitely a great thing for Liangzhou...... He made Liangzhou no longer have trouble in the northwest and could develop steadily. Moreover, Yang Fu is also in favor of Cao Peng's policies in the northwest.

As far as justice is concerned, Yang Fu and Cao Peng do not have a deep hatred.

Even in some ways, they have the same goal, all for the sake of Guanzhong's future.

Cao Peng, what kind of character are you?

What kind of person is a character who can make your enemies full of praise?

Looking at the car battle in front of him, Zhang He fell into deep thought!

Cao Peng still rode in a carriage, but after leaving Guzang, the white camel soldiers and the flying camel soldiers automatically formed protection.

Zhang He's subordinates couldn't get close to Cao Peng's chariot at all.

Especially the white camel soldiers, all white camels, the soldiers are fluttering in white clothes, revealing a different charm. And on the body of the camel, there is a unique smell that will make the war horse restless. Even the flying camel soldiers are rarely stationed in the same place as the white camel soldiers. The flying camel is in front, and the white camel is blessed, and the march is very orderly, which makes Zhang He admire.

Cao Peng did not neglect the training of tooth soldiers because of his dismissal.

On the contrary, along the way, Cao Peng kept manipulating soldiers and horses, which opened Zhang He's eyes......

During the march, Pound led 200 flying camels in front of him, acting as scouts and scouting the way. The white camel soldiers had already marched away, protecting the chariot and advancing slowly. As soon as there was an alarm (the imaginary enemy designed by Cao Peng), the flying camel soldiers immediately retreated, and the white camel soldiers formed a phalanx to rush forward. The flying camel was building momentum on both sides of the white camel soldiers, and when Cao Peng's order was issued, they were immediately divided into two teams and attacked at the same time. First with cavalry and then with broadsword and spear, it shows unparalleled power.

Zhang He only saw that he was relaxed and happy, and later, he simply ran to Cao Peng and pleaded to let his subordinates act as imaginary enemies.

In this way, the boring journey becomes lively.

At this time, Zhang He was not the general of Wei who was extremely feared by Zhuge Liang.

His art of war is still a little immature, even a little naïve. Whether it is a march to fight or a formation to meet the enemy, there are obvious traces of carving. After being defeated again and again, Zhang He's art of war also became flexible.

He no longer sticks to the tactics in the war book, but gradually reveals his style.

When the convoy arrived in Huangshui, Zhang He had already revealed a calm spirit, which made Cao Peng feel a lot of emotion.

What a cow!

Sure enough, he is worthy of being Zhuge Liang's later years, the most feared general of Wei.

His progress is very obvious, faintly revealing the style of a general; Of course, Pound's progress is also very great, from the initial fierce pursuit and fierce fighting, to the later flexible and changeable, its characteristics of the art of war gradually emerged, which is eye-catching.

After each confrontation, Cao Peng will comment.

And Zhang He was like a studious student, listening to Cao Peng's teachings.

"Today's handsome man, a little cautious!

On the battlefield, there are ever-changing, and we will never stick to the dogma in the military book. Sima Fa, Sun Wu's thirteen chapters, and Wei Yushu's book are indeed the crystallization of the wisdom of the predecessors and sages. But if you blindly follow the art of war, you will also fall into inferiority.

Sun Tzu said: Soldiers, sophistry!

What is the trick?

To put it bluntly, it's a change. There is a variable in the creation of heaven and earth...... When Sun Wuzi wrote the thirteenth chapter, it was still the time of the Che War. By the time of Wei Yushu, the Qin State had already implemented large-scale cavalry warfare and created a three-cone formation. Times are evolving, and so is the art of war. There is a way that everything does not deviate from its origin, and you should grasp the fundamentals, not according to the dogmas stated in the book of war...... In contrast, Ling Ming's performance today is very impressive. Although you and An Ping have always been in a state of division of troops, when the white camel soldiers were difficult to advance, you concentrated the strength of the cavalry and launched an attack, causing the flank of Jun Yi's flank to be routed, resulting in today's victory, which is indeed a clever move. ”

Nothing changes? Heaven and earth are created, and there are variables?

Two completely different concepts, but they were fused together, allowing Zhang He and Pang De to see a new world.

Huangshui, surging!

During the spring flood, the river is surging.

The convoy was divided into three teams, and the white camel soldiers escorted the chariot and formed a battalion of their own, and the flying camel soldiers hung outside, guarding the surroundings.

Zhang He's troops formed a circle formation to protect the white camel soldiers in the center.

He stood by the campfire and looked out from afar.

Cao Peng hugged Cao Yun in his arms and ran around the car, making Cao Yun giggle. And Bu Luan was next to the car, cooking food carefully, Guo Huan and Zhen Mi smiled like flowers, looking at Cao Peng's father and son, laughing like silver bells from time to time.

And the white camel soldiers, loyally guarding the surroundings, described as vigilant.

Cao Peng at this time, where is a conquest of the world, Cao Sanwen of Weizhen Liangzhou, is clearly like a child, without any image.

Childe, which one of you is the real you?

When others are arrested, they are not sad.

You seem to be at ease, as if you are fine......

Anyway, if it is put on himself, Zhang He will definitely feel wronged, and even have unfair thoughts.

But look at Cao Peng......

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves was heard from afar.

With a loud whistle, the camel soldiers immediately mounted their horses and prepared to meet the enemy.

The white camel soldiers formed a circle and protected Cao Peng's family. On the contrary, it is Zhang He's 800 parts, which seems a little flustered.

Zhang He rubbed his cheeks and shook his head with a wry smile.

This, which way will it be?

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

Coming from Wuwei, Zhang He has experienced too many of this situation along the way.

Three days ago, they had been blocked by a Qiang horseman. The leader turned out to be the little king Kewu who was the old Qiang of Hehuang burning.

It is said that this Ke Wu is the advice of the old king, hoping to stay in Liangzhou.

The two sides almost clashed, if it weren't for Cao Peng coming forward and scolding Ke Wu, the scolded Ke Wu didn't even dare to let go of a fart, and obediently gave way. However, Kogo still left a lot of gifts, including three carts.

When leaving Guzang, Cao Peng and his entourage had a total of three cars.

But by the time they arrived in Huangshui, the number of vehicles had increased to more than ten......

"Don't panic, see clearly."

Looking at the calm Cao Pengyabing, Zhang He was ashamed for a while.

These parts of his own are all Xu Du's elite. Compared with other people's private soldiers, it is simply not a grade.

Not only in terms of equipment, but also in other aspects, they are far inferior to them.

Zhang He suddenly had a strange impulse, he didn't want to be a captain of Rausch anymore, and he should be a general under Cao Peng, and it shouldn't feel bad when he thought about it.

"Don't misunderstand, I'm Cao Zhang, and I'm here to meet the teacher."

The cavalry army from afar was about three hundred men.

At the head were two teenagers, burly and strong.

When he rode first, he dismounted his horse with his crotch, dressed in a long coat, and shouted loudly on his horse.

"Flying camel, bow down."

Pound let out a deep cry, and the flying camel soldiers immediately stopped their march.

Cao Peng hugged Cao Yun in his arms and looked up in surprise, "Why did Ziwen run here?" He didn't guard Zhangye, why did he come here? ”

handed Cao Yun over to Bu Luan, and then took Cai Di and walked forward.

The white camel soldiers automatically separated a path, and at the same time, Zhang He also reacted and hurriedly asked his subordinates to get out of the way.

Cao Zhang, that's Cao Cao's eldest son!

After the death of Cao Ang and Cao Pi, it is not an exaggeration to call Cao Zhang's eldest son.

But when Cao Zhang was still more than ten steps away from the circle formation, he threw off his horse.

Behind him, Niu Gang followed closely.

Cao Zhang didn't pay attention to Zhang He's salute at all, let alone take care of those parts. He ran forward quickly, and suddenly knelt down in front of Cao Peng, "The teacher is still home, why don't you know with Huang Xu, could it be that the teacher should not be a disciple?" ”

Cao Zhang's move made Zhang He startled.

He knew that Cao Zhang and Cao Chong had all been enlightened under Cao Peng.

It can be said that Cao Peng and Cao Zhang are of the same generation, and no one really thinks that they are masters and apprentices.

But now it seems......

Zhang He suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

"General, why is this so?"

"I'm glad."

"Rejoice?"

Zhang He smiled bitterly: "I'm glad that I have come all the way, and I have not been rude." Otherwise, I will return to Xudu, but I am afraid that life is better than death. ”

After listening to it, it suddenly dawned on me.

He glanced at Cao Peng in the distance, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Nima, being a prisoner to the level of Cao Peng is unprecedented......

Cao Peng dragged Cao Zhang up, "Ziwen, you and Niu Gang are not in Zhangye, what are you doing here?" ”

"Mr. is still in the Central Plains, how can there be no disciples by his side.

I discussed it with Lao Niu and decided to go back with my husband. I have already informed General Wang Mai that he has ordered Ke Wu to leave the county seat of Zhangye. When Niu and I first came, we also wrote to Xudu, and it is estimated that at this time, it has already passed Luoyang.

Hehe, Lao Niu and I have decided, where Mr. goes, we will go there! ”

"Nonsense!"

Cao Peng was furious.

"Ziwen, you are the captain of Zhangye's army, how can you leave your post without permission?

Soldiers, the country's major affairs. If you don't do it, you won't do it, when this is a child's game? It's just nonsense! ”

Cao Peng's angry shouts reached Zhang He's ears.

But it made Zhang He grin......

That's Cao Cao's son!

In terms of seniority, you are Cao Zhang's brother, and you actually reprimanded him, as if scolding his grandson, without showing any mercy.

On the contrary, Cao Zhang was not angry.

"I don't care, I'm here anyway.

If the gentleman wants to drive me away, it will definitely not work...... I think Mr. Sui can still learn a lot of things, is it possible that Mr. Cheng wants to teach all those knowledge to Cangshu? Sir can't be so partial, anyway, I'll follow Mr. Ding......"

"You ......"

Cao Peng's heart suddenly swelled with a warm current.

Cao Zhang's words were like this, but it made him feel a strong sense of concern.

On the contrary, from the time he killed Wei Duan to the present, there has been no greeting from Mrs. Huan's side. It stands to reason that even if Mrs. Huan can't change Cao Cao's decision, she should at least send someone to condolence and tell Cao Cao of his handling opinions.

But there was not even a single movement!

This also made Cao Peng a little dissatisfied in his heart.

On the contrary, it was Cao Zhang, who heard that he was going to be taken back for questioning, so he gave up his fame and chased him all the way from Zhangye. Looking at his dusty body, Cao Peng wanted to say that he was not moved, it was a pure lie. Cao Zhang has a pure heart. This kind of sincerity cannot be exchanged for any wealth. Cao Peng looked at him and couldn't help laughing!

"Forget it, since you have decided so, I will not stop you.

However, to be clear, are you willing to leave your charming little beauty? And after I go back, I will be forced to get married by my lord, and you won't have to complain to me when the time comes. I can't help you with this at all. ”

"That'...... I'll stay in Xingyang. ”

Cao Peng smiled dumbly, "Count you!" ”

As he spoke, he pulled Cao Zhang's arm and called Niu Gang again.

"It's just right, Xiaoluan has cooked dinner, just to fill his stomach...... Rest early today, and we'll be on our way tomorrow. ”
