A night of heavy snow shrouded Xu Du in a blanket of silver. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In the Linyi Marquis's Mansion, Liu Guang was wearing a thick cotton robe and stood on the porch, motionless. At first glance, he seems to be admiring the snow in the garden. But the servant knew that from yesterday to now, Linyi Hou has always been like this.

"Master Hou, the prince is here!"

"Please!"

Liu Guang suddenly came to his senses, said 'please', and went to the study.

It has been nearly two years since the envoy to the Southern Huns in the blink of an eye.

On the face of it, his mission seemed useless and ended in failure. But in fact, with the killing of Hu Chuquan, Liu Bao, the king of Zuoxian, rose rapidly, and Liu Guang's achievements cannot be denied. It's just that this achievement can't be seen for a while. Because although Liu Bao is self-reliant, the Southern Xiongnu is single and sits in the court. But to go to Beiyou did not surrender, the area controlled by the Southern Xiongnu was only three-fifths of the original. Moreover, at the beginning of the year, Qubei joined forces with a Xianbei tribe that came out of Hexi, and there was a faint tendency to control Mobei. Beyond the Great River, it was all in the hands of these two men.

Liu Guang has reason to believe that the Xianbei tribe is from Cao Peng's arm.

They were from Hexi, and Akari said that they had been attacked by the Han army and had to withdraw from Hexi. However, judging from the news from the Southern Xiongnu, this Xianbei tribe is well-equipped, rich in baggage, and its strength cannot be underestimated. Nothing is more terrifying than the fact that they have extremely sophisticated weapons. It is said that most of those weapons were eliminated by Cao Jun, which made this Xianbei extremely strong combat effectiveness. At the same time, they also continue to carry baggage to the degraded people.

Originally, with Liu Bao occupying the single court, he was already at a disadvantage.

However, after obtaining a large number of baggage, Qubei quickly recovered his strength, and consciously reduced his forces, and camped on the front line of Danhan Mountain and the surrendered city. And Shen Tuze, who was originally occupied by the Bei, was controlled by the Xianbei tribe.

In this way, Liu Bao had to be attacked on both sides.

Due north, it is to go to the hundred thousand control strings; In the west, there are nearly 50,000 soldiers and horses in Xianbei, eyeing each other.

From an absolute advantage, to now flat...... Liu Bao's current situation is not too good, and he is even faintly at a disadvantage. Fortunately, the war in Hebei came to an end, and although Gao Gan lost in Hedong, he did not receive much blow. On the contrary, with the assistance of Yuan Xi, he took the opportunity to annex the Karasuma tribe of Ke Ji and grew strong all of a sudden.

After joining forces with Yuan Xi, Gao Gan took the initiative to form an alliance with Liu Bao and provided a large amount of baggage to help Liu Bao gain a firm foothold.

In this way, the situation of the Southern Xiongnu gradually stabilized, and at least in the confrontation with Qubei, Liu Bao recovered his disadvantage. However, it will take time until Liu Bao fully controls the situation and forms a boost. Liu Guang had an inexplicable sense of crisis. He didn't know how long he could hold out, or how long the Han family could hold out...... Especially after the victory in Liangzhou came, Liu Guang's sense of crisis became stronger and stronger, and he even faintly felt fear!

Why, among my Han clan relatives, there are no such characters as Cao Peng?

Liu Guang picked up the book, but he had no intention of flipping through it.

As soon as Ma Teng died, Liu Bei was the only one left who signed the edict.

But Liu Bei is still unable to protect himself, and he doesn't even have a place to live, so he can only send people under the fence. Although Liu Bei was in Xinye, he and Cao Jun had several confrontations, and they also had quite a victory. But overall, his victories were petty fights.

Compared with Cao Peng's victory in Liangzhou, Liu Bei's achievements are insignificant.

Cao Peng killed Ma Teng, and Cao Cao's trouble in the northwest will also be reduced. Next, it is only up to Cao Cao to quickly seize Liangzhou and take full control of Liangzhou.

"Linyi Hou!"

Liu Guang suddenly woke up, looked up, and saw that Fu Wan had already walked into the room.

He was dressed in a black robe with large fluttering sleeves, hiding his mutilated arms in them. Walking into the house, he bowed to Liu Guang, "Linyi Hou, I called for a long time before, but I didn't answer, could it be that I have something on my mind?" ”

Fu Wan's spirit is very good, he looks red, and he is a lot fatter than before.

After experiencing the difficulty of breaking his hand, Fu Wan gradually faded out of the eyes of everyone in the court, became pure-hearted, and recited the Tao Te Ching at home every day, which seemed very comfortable. But Liu Guang knew that he had not stopped moving.

Beneath his breezy face, there is a fiery heart......

Fu Jun, dead!

made Fu Wan's hatred for the Cao family stronger and stronger.

He withdrew from the political arena on the surface, but in private, he was still trying to attract talents for the Han Emperor. This can be seen from the surge of doormen in Fu Wan's house. In the past year, there were more than 1,000 diners under the door, most of whom were unambitious scholars. Talking about current affairs every day, criticizing current affairs, and pointing out the country has become a scenery in Xudu. And the result caused by these people is to make many gossips on the streets and alleys of Xudu.

For example, Cao Cao wants to seek a usurpation......

The method of Tuntian is too harsh!

Or some people directly say that the laws that Cao Cao is implementing now have a violent flavor of Qin, and they will inevitably cause chaos in the country.

However, this is just gossip, and it is impossible to detect the source.

Liu Guangyi waved his hand, "Guozhang, please take a seat." ”

How do you know that after frowning, he frowned, looked at the furniture placed in the hall, and said in a deep voice: "The Marquis of Linyi is a servant of the court, and he is a relative of the emperor, so he should be careful to abide by the etiquette system, why do you also follow the example of others and buy these strange and ingenious tricks?" ”

The strange and obscene tricks mentioned by Fu Wan refer to the circle chair in Liu Guang's study, the book case......

Liu Guang smiled, "Guozhang, the etiquette is in my heart, why bother to be stubborn." ”

The rituals of my ancestors are hidden in my heart, and I don't need to tell others. In a word, Fu Wan suddenly smiled.

"I want to send someone to Guanzhong."

"Huh?"

"Ma Teng was incompetent and was killed by the thief.

Now the situation in Liangzhou has moved closer to Cao Lao'er, and we can't sit idly by. Guanzhong is known to be a wealthy family, and its interests are entangled, and it is deeply implicated. I'm going to use the power of Guanzhong to help Wei Duan sit firmly in Liangzhou and make Cao Lao'er happy, how about it? ”

Liu Guang was stunned, and his fingers tapped lightly on the bookcase.

This is Cao Peng's habit, but for some reason, he was met by Liu Guanghui.

Fu Wan's meaning is very clear, that is, he must not let Cao Cao completely control the Liangzhou region.

There are wealthy families in Guanzhong, and their interests in Liangzhou are extremely deep. For example, Wei Duan used the Liangzhou channel to sell contraband to Qiangdi in order to make amazing profits. This is just the tip of the iceberg, in fact, the wealthy family in Guanzhong is no less than the Central Plains. For example, Pingling Dou's, Jingzhao Wei's, and Hongnong Yang's...... There are many families like this.

Although today's Guanzhong wealthy family is far less powerful than the Central Plains clan, its heritage still exists, and it is a force that cannot be underestimated.

The most important thing is that the wealthy families in Guanzhong are loyal to the Han family.

For example, Hongnong Yang's family, Linjing Huangfu and other families are loyal to the Han family.

Liu Guang couldn't help but nod slightly!

This is probably the last move to contain Cao Cao......

"Then Wei Duan, are you willing to cooperate?"

"I have ordered someone to contact Wei Duan, and at the same time, I am ready to release rumors in Xudu to create momentum for Wei Duan and help him gain military power in Liangzhou."

The implication is that he wants Wei Duan to be the pastor of Liangzhou.

Although Wei Duan is the assassin of Liangzhou, he is still inferior to the position of state pastor in comparison.

Liu Guang thought for a while, "Guozhang has this intention, and he must make proper arrangements. To create momentum for Wei Duan, you also need to be cautious, so as not to be detected by Cao Cao. On my side, I will try my best to clear the obstacles for the Emperor and make His Majesty propose a court proposal. ”

"So, take your leave!"

After doing things now, he will be resolute.

Once the discussion is complete, he immediately takes his leave and leaves.

Liu Guang is very satisfied with his style of acting.

At least, it is a hundred times stronger than the auxiliary generals who were always hesitant to do things before he broke his hand, and the auxiliary generals at both ends of the snake and rat.

Cao Youxue, our game is not over yet......

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

"The lord returns to Di Dao this time, and he needs to be more friendly with Cao Taishou.

Today, Cao Taishou has taken three counties in a row, and the momentum is great, and it is inevitable that there will be some verbal offenses at that time. Most of the young people are ambitious...... If the lord wants to take back Longxi as soon as possible, he should lower it. Come to think of it, he won't be embarrassed. ”

Wei Duan's ears echoed Yang Fu's entrustment.

With the war in Longxi subsided, he returned to Didao and recovered the affairs of Longxi, which became imminent.

Longxi must be taken back as soon as possible.

There is also Jincheng County, which must also be retrieved as soon as possible. Wei Duan is very aware of the importance of Longxi and Jincheng. Only by controlling these two counties can you sit back and relax. But the question is, will Cao Peng willingly return it to him?

The wheels turned, crunching.

Shattered ice chips flew out on both sides and scattered all over the ground.

For Yang Fu, an old subordinate, Wei Duan is very trusting.

But in his heart, he felt very unstable, and at the same time a little uncomfortable.

Ma Teng, who took away Longxi and drove him Wei Duan from Longxi to Hanyang; And Cao Peng recaptured Longxi in a short period of time, and even snatched Jincheng County away. This clearly means that he Wei Duan is incompetent, and a loud slap made Wei Duan feel uncomfortable. You must know that he listened to Ma Teng's words at the beginning, so he lost Longxi.

Rubbing his face vigorously, Wei Duan suddenly lifted the curtain.

"General!"

"Father's ......"

Wei Kang heard Wei Duan's call, and hurriedly stepped forward, "Father, what's wrong?" ”

"Where?"

"It's past White Rock Mountain."

Wei Duan hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "Pass the order, stay in Baishi Mountain tonight, and then set off after dawn." ”

"Huh?"

"I'm not very at ease in my heart."

Wei Duan explained softly, as if talking to himself.

Wei Kang is a filial son, since his father said so, he is not easy to refuse, so he nodded in response.

So, the convoy stayed at the foot of Baishi Mountain!

This Baishi Mountain is between Angu County and Shouyang County.

Originally, this was Ma Teng's territory, which was garrisoned by the generals Cheng Yi and Liang Xing. However, after Ma Teng's death, An Gu and Shouyang also became precarious. These two were originally Han Sui's eight generals, but because Han Sui died, the two surrendered to Ma Teng. is not Ma Teng's cronies, but he belongs to the second minister, which is somewhat embarrassing.

Since returning to Cao Peng, in addition to the horse play that made some meritorious achievements when he captured Di Dao, he took the initiative to propose to Cao Peng that he was willing to be demoted to Yiliang Xing. In the Di Dao War, the horse played without success, and basically stood in the city to watch the excitement. Now that this war is about to stop, it is about to be rewarded, and Ma Play naturally hopes to add a credit to himself.

He and Cheng Yi Liang Xing originally belonged to the same eight generals, and their relationship has always been not bad.

So he volunteered to come to Angu and said to Cheng Yi Liang Xing, and the two immediately pushed the boat down the river and expressed their willingness to surrender.

Therefore, An Gu and Shouyang are now occupied by Cao Peng.

Originally, Wei Duan wanted to let his two generals, Xiangwu Kong Xin, and Wang Ling of Zhangxian County take action to seize the two counties of Shouyang. After all, if the two counties were taken by him, he would be able to redeem a little bit of the embarrassment of being driven away by Ma Teng.

Unexpectedly, Cao Peng didn't give him a chance to drink soup at all, and directly won the two counties.

At the same time, he also ordered Yan Xing to garrison Shouyang, and play with horses to guard the hometown. It's okay to talk about horse play, but Yan Xing is a fierce general. Although Wang Ling and Kong Xin were also good at fighting bravely, they did not dare to touch Yan Xing's edge. Not to mention, Di Dao also has a Cao Peng, and there are countless elite soldiers under him. And Lintao was taken by Gan Ning Hao Zhao...... These two people, one from Cao Peng's family, is now on his own, and the other is still working under Cao Peng's account, which is not the same leisure.

plus Cao Hong in Dasanguan, and Chen Qun in Xixian.

Even if Kong Xin Wang Ling had great courage, he didn't dare to provoke Cao Peng. If you don't get it right, you will be uprooted by Cao Peng......

It's already dark!

Dark clouds rolling......

Wei Duan was restless, wandering in the big tent, looking extremely anxious.

"Father, you are ......"

"General Yuan, do you say that Cao Youxue will really return Longxi?"

Wellcome scratched his head, not knowing how to answer.

In fact, this question is really unclear. Anyway, in Wei Kang's opinion, if it were him, after taking all the trouble to capture Longxi, it would never be easy to hand it over. But how did he explain these words to Wei Duan?

"He's supposed to give it back.

After all, his father is the assassin of Liangzhou, and Cao Peng is just too shou in Hexi. Now that he occupies Wuwei County, it is already unjustifiable, and if he occupies Longxi again, I am afraid that he will attract people. In my opinion, he will definitely hand it over, but when the time comes, my father will inevitably pay some price. Cao Youxue is not a fool, he occupies the entire Liangzhou as a county guard, don't say anything else, I'm afraid that Yang Yishan and they won't agree, not to mention those families in Guanzhong, who have interests in Liangzhou...... Father rest assured, he will hand over Longxi, but it will take some trouble......"

"Hmm!"

Wei Duan couldn't help but perk up.

That's right, I'm the assassin of Liangzhou, and he, Cao Peng, is just a Taishou of a lower county.

Yishan is right, he is young and ambitious, and when the time comes, as long as I lower my posture, I will naturally be able to ask for it back.

When I stabilized Longxi, hummed......

But in my heart, there is another layer of concern.

At the beginning, Wang Meng was besieged by Ma Teng, and I couldn't save him when I saw death, resulting in Wang Meng's death. What would happen if Cao Peng knew about it?

Fortunately, not many people know about this.

In addition to his father and son, only Shi Tao knows.

At that time, Shi Tao went to Didao and begged Wei Duan to send troops to help, but Wei Duan refused...... Fortunately, Shi Tao's whereabouts are unknown now, most likely when he rescued Wang Meng, he was killed by Ma Teng. Well, die well! If Shi Tao is still alive, it must be another trouble. Now that he is dead, it is unlikely that Cao Peng will know the truth......

Wei Duan suddenly regretted it!

He regretted why he had to listen to Ma Teng's lies and sit back and watch Wang die in Baishi.

Although Wang Meng is upright, he doesn't know how to be flexible. But on the whole, he still maintains a certain degree of respect for Wei Duan.

If Wang Meng hadn't died, maybe if he went back this time, he would have been able to say a few good words for himself and have a lot less trouble...... But think about it again, if Wang Meng hadn't died, he might not have lost Longxi, and was beaten by Ma Teng like a lost dog.

"Father, father?"

Wellon's call woke Wei Duan out of his musings.

"Huh?"

Wei Duan suddenly came to his senses, and forced a smile and said, "General Yuan, don't worry, it's okay to be a father."

It's just that I'm a little tired of running all the way...... You've worked hard too, rest early. Tomorrow morning, I have to hurry. ”

Wellon nodded, took his leave, and left.

After chatting with his son for a while, Wei Duan's heart seemed to be much more comfortable.

He sat down, picked up a book, and flipped through it in the light. The book is the Dongguan Han Ji written by Cai Yong that year. After Cai Yong's death, the book was also lost. Fortunately, Cai Yan, Cai Yong's daughter, has read this book, so she memorized it.

Later, Wei Duan sent someone to rub a volume and read it from time to time.

In the past, whenever he was upset, he would calm down as soon as he read a book.

But today, somehow, I haven't been able to calm down...... Suddenly, the wind swept the curtains, flickering the lights, and flickering and brightening. Wei Duan was distraught, so he got up in his clothes and stepped out of the tent. But I saw the sky as black as ink, and the wind and clouds changed. The wind is howling and raging. Several of the camp's tents were blown down by the strong winds, and the soldiers fled in disarray.

With a big shot, it fell to the ground with a bang.

Wei Duan's heart couldn't help but tremble......

Snowflakes the size of goose feathers, in the shape of six-pointed stars, flutter and fall one after another.

In the blink of an eye, the sky and the earth turned into a snow-white, which made people feel an inexplicable loneliness in their hearts......

What a lot of snow!

Wei Duan stood with his hands in his hands: This is probably the biggest snow since the beginning of winter......

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

The next day, the wind stopped.

The snow was thrown down, and the snow on the ground was thick enough to wipe your ankles.

The chariot set off again, crushing the snow and crunching. Due to the heavy snowfall, the roads have become extremely difficult to navigate. Originally, it only took half a day to get from Baishi Mountain to Di Dao, but Wei Duan and his party walked for almost a day.

When it was getting late and the heavy snow had stopped, I finally saw the outline of the Didao city wall.

Under the sunset, the majestic Didao city wall, on the bank of the Taoshui River, exudes an ancient and majestic atmosphere......

Wei Duan let out a sigh of relief, and his mind became calm. Squinting his eyes and looking at Di Dao, he gave birth to a sense of intimacy that he had never felt before.

I'm finally back!

"Pass the order down, and order the convoy to speed up."

Wei Duan ordered, just about to put down the curtain...... But when he saw Wellcome coming on horseback, he stopped in front of the car, turned over and dismounted.

"Father, Hexi Taishou Cao Peng, led the officials of Di Dao, and has arrived at Shili Pavilion to greet him."

"Huh?"

Wei Duan's heart trembled, and his face suddenly showed a touch of joy.

Cao Peng personally went out of the city to greet him, indicating that he regarded himself as his boss. In other words, Cao Peng will definitely hand over Longxi County.

Since Cao Peng has shown enough respect, Wei Duan, who was born in a prestigious family, naturally cannot be rude.

He got out of the car, straightened his clothes, and then ordered: "Raise the flag, and the Yuan will go with me." ”
