.“ Don't eat me, don't eat me! ”

In the dark corner of Yangcheng, a young Qiang soldier shrank in the corner and shivered, muttering to himself from time to time. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

His eyes were blank and skinny.

The whole person seemed to be crazy, as long as he saw someone walking towards him, he subconsciously grabbed the weapon around him and roared hysterically.

This is just a microcosm of Yangcheng.

Ma Chao is much thinner, and he no longer has the original Jinma super style.

The eyes are sunken and the cheekbones are protruding. But the spirit seems to be very good, but the eyebrows are frowned......

"Is there no food at all?"

"It's gone!"

Beside him were the generals who had followed him for many years.

With the death of Mahew Ma Dai and Hu Zun, the generals he recruited fled one after another. Tens of thousands of troops, and now only a few thousand people remain in the city. In addition, it is a relative who has always been loyal and followed Ma Chao from birth to death, named Ma Zhong. This Ma Zhong is a native of Zhangye, who has lost his parents since he was a child and is lonely. His parents died at the hands of Qiu Chi and were later taken in by Ma Chao and taken with him.

For Ma Teng, Ma Zhong does not have much loyalty.

But for Ma Chao, Ma Zhong is sincerely grateful and admired......

Now Ma Chaoshan is exhausted, and the people around him are dying, and they are walking, leaving only Ma Zhong to follow.

"Lord, break through."

Ma Zhong said softly: "The last general is willing to cover for the lord, please break through as soon as possible." ”

"Breakout?" Ma Chao smiled bitterly, "Where can I go?" ”

Wuwei is gone, Jincheng is gone, and Wudu is gone...... In the vast northwest, I am afraid that there is no place for him to gain a foothold. Besides, Cao Jun besieged Yangcheng to the ground, Xu Huang, Cao Hong, Zhang He, alone, Ma Chao would never be afraid. But the three of them...... Not to mention, there are ten times as many soldiers and horses as Cao Jun.

This situation is changing too fast, and Ma Chao is a little unacceptable.

Originally, he had the upper hand, but in the blink of an eye, he ended up in such a fiasco! This time, he not only lost the war, but even the foundation of his family. It is conceivable that those Qiangs will never listen to him again. Because in front of them, there is a stronger and more ruthless Cao Peng.

In a flash, six years!

Cao Peng has become a generation of famous generals, but he is still struggling.

"Where are you going?"

"Go to Mobei...... I heard that the Xianbei people are not fighting Cao Cao? ”

"Shut up!" Ma Chao snorted, "After I am General Fubo, how can I be in the same stream with that Xianbei person and bow down to my subordinates?" I, Ma Chao I, stand up to the sky and the earth, I can do anything, but I will never do the thing that betrays my ancestors and seeks glory. ”

Ma Zhong was speechless.

Throughout Ma Chao's life, no matter how ambitious he is, he has always been vigilant against foreign races.

He shocked Xiqiang and made Hu Yi fearful.

It's a pity......

Ma Zhong sighed and did not continue to persuade.

Yangcheng can't be defended anymore!

This is a small town, an ordinary fortress, with a small population and not much food. Thousands of soldiers and horses were trapped in Yangcheng, and the food in the city had long been eaten. Privately, many people began to eat human flesh. Originally, it was the flesh of dead people, but now, many people have begun to slaughter and eat it......

Morale has fallen to the valley, and there is simply no will to fight.

Although Ma Chao is disgusted with that kind of cannibalism, in the face of such a predicament, he can only open one eye and close one eye!

"Lord, look!"

Just when Ma Chao was silent in thought, he suddenly heard Ma Zhong shouting loudly. Ma Chao raised his head and looked in the direction of Ma Zhong's finger. couldn't help but be stunned, and a look of surprise appeared on the thin face.

Cao Jun, is retreating backwards?

"Lord, it's time to break through at this time."

Who knows, Ma Chao looked at Cao Jun who was retreating in the distance, but he didn't say a word.

"Lord!"

"He's finally here......"

Ma Chao's headless words made Ma Zhong stunned.

Hurriedly raised his eyes to take a look, but saw that in the camp of the Cao army in the distance, a big sword was in the opposite direction of the retreat of the Cao army, slowly approaching the city. The big black on the white letter, pinching the gold edge and walking the silver line, on the book 'Si Li School Captain, Governor Northwest" in the center, a big 'Cao' word, in the sunlight is particularly eye-catching.

Flags flutter and hunt sounds.

From the camp of Cao's army, a team of soldiers and horses was marched.

The iron rider is in front, and the white camel is behind.

A general wears a three-pronged purple and gold crown, a bright silver chain mail, an embroidered satin robe, and a lion jade belt around his waist. The lion and tiger beast has a halberd in the palm of his hand. I saw him rush out from under the flag gate and stop at the foot of Yangcheng City. Put Fang Tian's halberd in front of him, put his hand on the pergola, and look up.

Ma Chao suddenly straightened his chest, strode to the edge of the city wall, held the female wall, and stared at the man.

"Cao Youxue, can you come and send him to death?"

The voice was loud, still with a hint of arrogance.

Under the city, Cao Peng smiled!

"Meng Qi, but he lost ...... thin"

"I want to come to the northwest, and it has been calmed."

"Worship the blessing of Meng Qi, Hehuang Pingjing, Dou Mao Suwei gave the head, and Baimaqiang Teng Zijing sent a book to Shun Biao, and has begun to move from Huangzhong to Wudu to live. Guo went down the mountain with the west, was defeated by our army, and the remnants of the wolf and Qiang were defeated, and fled to the mountains, and sooner or later they would die. The Wolf Qiang was destroyed, and the 80,000 Qiang people were all under the rule of the imperial court...... By the way, at the beginning of spring next year, a large number of immigrants will enter the river and the river.

It won't be long before it becomes the second Hexi. ”

Although he had already prepared, Ma Chao was still shocked when he heard the results from Cao Peng's mouth with his own ears.

In other words, from now on, it will be difficult for the Qiang Rebellion to arise again.

The Qiang Rebellion, which the Han family had failed to quell for hundreds of years, was solved by Cao Peng in just a few months.

In my heart, there is a trace of admiration.

Ma Chao arched his hand, "So, congratulations!" ”

"Meng Qi, why don't you surrender?"

Ma Chao smiled awe-inspiringly, "Cao Peng, don't say the word surrender." Although Ma Chao is not good, he also disdains to be governed by others. The eldest husband was born in heaven and earth, and he should hold a three-foot green front and make a name for himself. Now Ma Chao lost and had nothing to say. That is, Ma Chao was born, and Cao Peng was born...... Cao Youxue, can you dare to fight three lilies with a certain family? ”

Cao Peng, silent!

He had already guessed such an outcome, but he was helpless.

Ma Chao is not a master who is willing to be subordinate. Even if he later attached himself to Liu Bei, he was suppressed by Liu Bei. Even if he is a general of the Five Tigers, in terms of combat achievements and merits, he is far from being able to compare with others.

Zhang Fei can go out of the town to Nanchong.

Guan Yu guarded Jingxiang for Liu Bei.

Although Zhao Yun did not lead an army alone, he had the glorious results of Changban Slope and Rice Cang Mountain.

As for Huang Zhong, in Liu Bei's battle to capture Hanzhong, he also made immortal feats. Only Ma Chao, after returning to Liu Bei, seemed to disappear, and there was no more achievement. The only achievement was to deter Qiang Di and not dare to peep at Xichuan. But what else did he accomplish?

Liu Bei is definitely on guard against Ma Chao.

So much so that in the end, Ma Chao died of depression......

Liu Bei can't control Ma Chao, can Cao Cao control Ma Chao?

Cao Peng?

I definitely can't suppress Ma Chao, this guy's ambition is too big! But if Ma Chao really died like this, Cao Peng felt a pity. After all, he was a hero in Cao Peng's childhood in his previous life. On the bank of the Weishui River, Cao Cao cut off his beard and abandoned his robe, which is probably the most brilliant achievement of Ma Chao's life......

Raised his head and stared at Ma Chao for a long time.

Suddenly, Cao Peng turned around and beckoned to the main formation.

The two horses galloped out and came to Cao Peng's side.

Ma Yunlu jumped off the horse and shouted sadly towards the city: "Big brother! ”

"Yunlu?"

Ma Chao was stunned, and a flash of excitement flashed on his calm face, "Are you still alive?"

I've heard people say that you ran away to Hehuang and never heard from you again.

I've been worried all the time, but I'm really happy to see that you're still there, little sister...... Yunlu, I'm sorry for you for my brother! ”

Ma Chao apologized, which made Ma Yunlu burst into tears.

He was sorry, when Dou Mao forced him to marry Ma Yunlu earlier, he wavered and bowed his head!

Even if it's just hypocrisy and wrongdoing, but after all, he is holding the happiness of his sister's life to realize his ambitions. Later, when he heard that Ma Yunlu had run away, Ma Chao regretted it very much. I wanted to return to Wudu and look for Ma Yunlu, but I didn't want Wei and Yang to contact him. Ma Chao also knows that the opportunity must not be lost and will not come again. So after thinking about it for a long time, he decided to start a war against Guanzhong first, and then look for Ma Yunlu.

I didn't expect it......

"Big brother, I'm married!"

"Huh?"

Ma Yunlu stretched out his hand and pulled Zhao Yun, who had already dismounted and was behind her, and knelt under the city.

"Zilong is a son's personal follower, and now he is the captain of Guoyi.

He treats me very well, and his martial arts are also very strong, which is not on par with my eldest brother...... Big brother, surrender, you haven't blessed me yet. ”

According to the rules of the Qiang people, when a girl gets married, she must have the blessing of her family.

Ma Teng is dead, and his eldest brother is his father...... Not getting Ma Chao's blessing is an eternal pain in Ma Yunlu's heart.

Ma Chao was stunned for a moment, but he smiled!

"Little sister, you finally won."

In my mind, a scene from my childhood comes to mind.

At that time, Ma Chao was in his twenties, and he broke out of the name of Jin Ma Chao. And Ma Yunlu is still a little girl, with a double crow bun, lively and cute, and likes to pester Ma Chao the most.

"In the future, I must marry someone who is even more powerful than my eldest brother."

The brother and sister practiced guns, and after Ma Yunlu failed, he pouted and swore and said: "When the time comes, the eldest brother is bullying me, let him beat you." ”

At that time, Ma Chaozhi was complacent, and he was even more arrogant and uninhibited.

So he laughed and said: "Little sister, if you want to find a man who is more powerful than your eldest brother, I'm afraid you won't be able to marry in this life." ”

In a flash, many years passed.

Ma Yunlu has grown up and found a man to rely on.

Zhao Yun described him as handsome, and after the two battles of Changbanpo and Hehuang, his body exuded a strong murderous aura.

The unique temperament that integrates killing and calmness makes Ma Chao very happy.

"Little sister, big brother bless you!"

He suddenly changed his words and said to Zhao Yun: "You have to take good care of my little sister, if you dare to be sorry for her at all, I will not spare you." ”

Zhao Yun held Ma Yunlu's hand, nodded towards Ma Chao at the head of the city!

"Cao Peng, dare to fight me!"

Cao Pengce immediately stepped forward, stared at Ma Chao for a long time, and sighed softly, "Meng Qi, you have lived in Yangcheng for a long time, and you are exhausted. If I defeat you at this time, it will be invincible, I will order someone to prepare grain, grass and wine and food, and ask Meng Qi to eat and rest for a night. Tomorrow afternoon, you and I will have a good fight, how about it? ”

As he spoke, Cao Peng waved his hand, and saw a team of soldiers, pushing more than a dozen carts of grain and grass to the city.

Then Cao Peng turned his horse's head and slowly walked towards the camp.

"Big Brother ......"

Ma Yunlu was reluctant and cried towards the city.

Ma Chao waved at her, then turned to leave.

"Yunlu, let's go."

"But ......"

"For Meng Qi, this is the best destination.

In fact, Gongzi also hopes that he can surrender, but after Meng Qi surrenders, I am afraid that it will be difficult to have the opportunity to display his talents in this life. Rather than die of depression, it is better to die a happy battle. If I were him, I would never surrender. ”

Zhao Yun couldn't help but feel a little sour in his heart.

is all the current Junyan, but his luck is better, and he is not as ambitious as Ma Chao......

Zhao Yun can understand Ma Chao's thoughts!

Ma Chao has disappeared, leaving only Ma Yunlu crying sadly.

It was not easy for Zhao Yun to persuade Ma Yunlu to go back. At the moment when they left, Ma Chaozhong appeared under the flag gate again, silently looking at the backs of Ma Yunlu and Zhao Yun, and his eyes were full of tears.

"Ma Zhong, go and bring in the grain and grass."

"Lord, beware of deception!"

Ma Chao smiled slightly, "Although Cao Peng is cunning, he is a good man. At such a time, he will definitely not have any tricks. Just bring the grain and grass into the city, so that the sons and daughters can have a full meal. ”

"Whoa!"

Ma Zhong led the people and hurriedly walked down the city tower.

The city gate opened, and he rushed out of the city with a troop of soldiers and horses, and pulled the grain cart parked outside into the city.

In an instant, there were bursts of cheers from Yangcheng.

A strange smile flashed on Ma Chao's face, "Cao Peng, you soldier who surrenders without a fight, you are really smart!" ”

It is conceivable that Ma Jiajun, who has a full stomach, will definitely be grateful to Cao Peng.

The previous morale was also dismantled......

Ma Chao knew that this was a plan, but he couldn't watch the sons and daughters kill each other and eat people.

He looked up to the sky and sighed, and said to himself: "It's okay, but it's all your Cao Peng's prestige." ”

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

That night, Cao Peng was about to rest when he suddenly heard a big chaos outside.

Could it be that Ma Chao is stealing the camp?

He hurriedly rushed out of the big tent, but saw all the soldiers gathered at the gate of the camp, looking in the direction of Yangcheng.

In Yangcheng City, the fire is soaring!

Cao Peng was shocked and hurriedly ran over to watch.

"What's going on?"

Just got the news, Zhao Yun and his wife, who came in a hurry, stood at the gate of the Yuan, also with a look of surprise.

"General, look...... It seems that someone came out of Yangcheng. ”

Cao Peng hurriedly looked in the direction of the soldier's finger, and saw the head of Yangcheng, lit torches, the city gate was wide open, and a team of soldiers slowly walked out of the city. The first person, dressed in loyalty and filial piety, restrained a golden-topped white dragon horse, and slowly walked towards Cao Ying.

"Ma Zhong?"

Ma Yunlu recognized at a glance that that person was Ma Zhong.

Hurriedly ran forward and asked loudly.

And Zhao Yun immediately followed, holding the Shocking Sword, looking at the other party vigilantly.

Ma Zhong stopped a dozen steps away from Ma Yunlu, suddenly pounced, and knelt on the ground.

"Girl, the eldest prince ......"

"What's wrong with my brother?"

"The eldest prince, you killed yourself!"

It was like a thunderbolt, which exploded in Ma Yunlu's ears.

Is her last relative gone?

"Impossible, didn't the eldest brother say that he would have to fight with his son tomorrow?"

The eldest prince said that he couldn't kill Cao Gongzi, and he didn't want Cao Gongzi to kill him.

So it doesn't matter if you win or lose...... In fact, he had already lost six years ago. The eldest prince has a letter to General Cao. Then he set fire to the government. When I rushed in, the eldest prince had already committed suicide! ”

If Ma Chao kills Cao Peng, Cao Cao will inevitably avenge Cao Peng and kill Ma Yunlu and Zhao Yun to vent his anger.

And he knows that Cao Peng is not an idle person.

Six years ago, he couldn't beat Cao Peng.

Six years later, he was in the prime of life and began to decline. And what about Cao Peng? At the age of twenty-seven, it is the peak time. Ma Chao thinks that he may not be able to win against Cao Peng, but he has an arrogant temperament and is unwilling to die at the hands of Cao Peng. The only person in the world who can kill him Ma Chao is Ma Chao himself.

In the end, Ma Chao chose to commit suicide......

In Ma Chao's letter, Cao Peng was entrusted to take care of Ma Yunlu.

and told Zhao Yun that he must not do anything to be sorry for Ma Yunlu...... His beloved mount, as well as his weapons and armor, were given to Zhao Yun and his wife. And let Ma Yunlu definitely settle Ma Zhong well.

This is the last retainer of the Tama clan.

Ma Yunlu fell into a coma on the spot.

Frightened, Zhao Yun hugged Ma Yunlu and called out repeatedly.

As for Cao Peng, he is more than sighing. As Ma Chaoxin said, this may be his best destination.

The husband should be vigorous in life, and he must die majestic!

Historically, he died of depression.

Now......

For Ma Chao, Cao Peng really doesn't know what kind of feelings it is. In his previous life, he went from childhood worship to later disdain. thinks that Ma Chao is ruthless, murderous and hateful. But if you think about it carefully, Ma Chao's ending, after Ma Teng married another bride, also set the tone. If Ma Chao's Lao Tzu was not Ma Teng, or if Ma Teng could treat Ma Chao as always, maybe there would be no misfortune later!

Therefore, half of Ma Chao's ruthlessness and ferocity are due to Ma Teng......

As soon as Ma Chao died, Yangcheng was broken.

The 3,000 Ma soldiers in the city surrendered immediately.

After dawn, Cao Peng, Xu Huang, and Shi Tao walked into Yangcheng side by side.

Looking at the dilapidated city, the three of them all sighed with infinite emotion.

"Childe, what are you going to do next?"

Shi Tao suddenly asked, which made Cao Peng stunned.

"What's next?"

Cao Peng scratched his head and said softly: "Xiao Zhi led his troops into the Meridian Road and attacked Hanzhong by surprise, I don't know what the result is."

I think there will be results soon!

If Hanzhong is taken, I am afraid that there will be a period of rest. In the past two years, the king has repeatedly used troops, and his national strength is also quite tight, so he may not agree to us continue to use troops. It's good to take a break, I, the lieutenant of the division, have not done anything well since I took office. The northwest is pacified, and Jia Liangzhou will leave Chang'an in the near future. He has urged me many times, and I am ready to go back to Chang'an and have a good rest. ”

"Tao wants to follow his son and go to Chang'an, I don't know if it's okay?"

"Why is that?"

Cao Peng was stunned and looked at Shi Tao in surprise.

Shi Tao is now Hanyang Taishou, and the future is immeasurable. If you suddenly want to go to Chang'an with yourself, wouldn't you have to give up your good foundation?

"Liangzhou, it is enough to have a straight yuan.

Tao has been in Liangzhou for many years, and he is really tired. Now Gongzi is the captain of the school, and he also hopes to follow him. ”

It's time to give up Liangzhou!

Liangzhou has developed to this point, if Cao Peng always controls it, it will not be a long-term solution after all.

There are Xu Shu and Huang Zhong, plus Meng Jian, which is enough to ensure Cao Peng's interests in Liangzhou. Hanyang, the land of right and wrong. If it is always in Cao Peng's hands, I am afraid that Cao Cao will also have some suspicions in his heart......

Abandoning Hanyang is the best way to keep Hexi.

After all, the area of Hexi is getting bigger and bigger, and Cao Cao ordered the establishment of Wuguan in Shizuishan at the beginning of the fourteenth year of Jian'an. In this way, there are five towns in Guannei and eleven towns outside Guan, a total of 16 counties, and the scale even exceeds that of Longxi County.

Cao Peng understood what Shi Tao meant, and after pondering for a while, he said softly: "Guangyuan, your talent lies in governing the place. If you go to Chang'an with me, it will be a pity...... In this way, since you are tired, go to Chang'an with me to rest for a while. If Xiaozhi takes Hanzhong, you will go to Hanzhong to take office.

Although in a short time, there will be no war in Hanzhong.

However, take precautions, sooner or later, the king will use troops to Xichuan, and Hanzhong will become an important hub at that time.

You go to govern Hanzhong well, once the war starts, you have a great responsibility. ”

Shi Tao thought about it and nodded in response.

The conversation between the two did not carry Xu Huang behind their backs, so Xu Huang could hear it clearly. Cao Peng had nothing to say, so he didn't hide it from Xu Huang. But in Xu Huang's heart, he felt that Cao Peng regarded him as a friend.

There are a lot of intersections with Cao Peng, especially when they were in Jingzhou, the two cooperated several times and had a very close relationship.

I couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in my heart.

The lord can have Cao Peng, a nephew who thinks about everything for him, why worry about big things? And under Cao Peng's command, there is Shi Tao, a strategist who thinks about everything for him, why worry about the family business not being prosperous?

The most important thing is that Cao Peng is one step ahead of everything.

When everyone's eyes were still on the northwest, Cao Peng's eyes had turned to the southwest......

Fa Zheng and Dian Man secretly sent troops to Hanzhong?

Xu Huang didn't know.

When I heard it now, I was even more surprised......

Shi Tao took people down to deal with the affairs of the city. Xu Huang and Cao Peng walked down the city tower side by side, and when they were about to get on the horse, Xu Huang suddenly waved his hand, signaled the surrounding soldiers to get out of the way, and then said to Cao Peng: "Youxue, I have something to ask for." ”

"Komei, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

Xu Huang took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "I have a son, named Gai, who is sixteen years old.

It's a shame to say that the child is not good at reading, and he gets into trouble all day long, which is really a headache. I thought about it, instead of letting him stay at home, it would be better to let him learn some skills from your friends, and have a skill in the future.

It's just that......

This matter is presumptuous, and please learn from it. ”

Of course, Cao Peng knew that Xu Huang had such a son named Xu Gai.

And I've also heard that that kid is also a troublemaker, and he leads a group of people all day long to either find someone to fight or gamble. For this reason, Xu Huang often has to apologize to the bitter master for him.

It's just that the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, why did they choose themselves?

Cao Peng was puzzled, but he would not refuse.

He knew that this was a kind of kindness that Xu Huang had released to him.

In the future, Cao Peng, of course, is willing to make friends with the famous five good generals. Although the two have handed over many times, they do not have too deep friendship. One of them? It's Xu Huang who is careful and never forms a gang, but secondly? The relationship between the two has not reached that point. Now that he took the initiative to propose it, Cao Peng naturally couldn't refuse.

"I'm afraid it's delaying the little boy."

Xu Huang smiled, "If you can delay it to look like your Xiaodi, my family is also very willing to see it." ”

Cai Di married Cao Jie.

Although the marriage is not yet consummated, it is a certainty.

Before he got married, he was already a captain! Who knows what kind of future he will have when he gets married?

In the city of Xudu, I don't know how many people envy it.

Even Xiahoudun complained in private: "If I knew this, I would have told the lord first...... My family has five children, can't I find a person who can match the festival girl? The kid is really cunning. ”

Cao Peng couldn't help laughing!

To be honest, he also had a headache about it.

He is Cao Cao's nephew, but with Cai Wenji marrying him, Cai Di became his son again......

In this way, the seniority between him and Cao Cao is a bit messy!

So much so that now, there is an embarrassing situation in which he transitions from the second generation of Cao to the generation of Cao. Even Xiahou Yuan wrote to scold him: It's just that you married Cai Yan, why did you ask the king for your son.

Then my father-in-law, do I call you a brother or a son-in-law?

Cao Peng didn't know how to answer this question.

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

Cao Peng ordered people to collect Ma Chao's body.

At the same time, Zhao Yun was asked to accompany Ma Yunlu and bury Ma Chao......

Ma Teng is dead, and Ma Chao is also dead...... The grievances between father and son for two generations seem to have turned into smoke overnight. In Ma Chao's letter, he hoped to bury his body with Ma Teng. There are also Ma Dai, Ma Xiu, and Ma Tie, who has long since turned into dry bones. As the only surviving person of the Ma family, Ma Yunlu naturally took on this important responsibility. Cao Peng asked Xu Huang to find Ma Dai and Ma Xiu's body, and at the same time sent someone to Di Dao to tell Xu Shu to take Ma Teng's body out. After the reunion, Ma Yunlu will transport all the coffins to Wuwei for burial. Zhao Yun, as the son-in-law of the Ma family, naturally had to accompany him.

Cao Peng simply let Zhao Yun take a big vacation and let him accompany Ma Yunlu and An Ansheng to handle the matter.

Immediately, Cao Peng and Xu Huang broke up, took Shi Tao, and rushed to Chang'an.

As for Hanyang, Shi Tao has also made arrangements and recommended Jia Xing to replace him and become the Taishou of Hanyang.

September of the 14th year of Jian'an, late autumn!

Cao Peng and his entourage traveled a long way and returned to Chang'an.

On the first day of Cao Peng's arrival in Chang'an, Jia Xu had already taken his team to Longxi to take over Liangzhou.

As for Xiahou Lan, through the discussion between Jia Xu and Cao Peng, he temporarily took over the post of Taishou of Wudu County.

After Cao Cao's official appointment was issued, would Xiahou Lan continue to stay in Wudu, or would he be reused? Cao Peng also didn't know, anyway, one thing was certain, Xiahou Lan's position would not be lower than two thousand stones.

After arriving in Chang'an, Cao Peng rested for two days.

Two days later, Cao Ji and Wang Mai set off for Xudu to take office.

Cao Peng sent the two until Baqiao, and then he was reluctant to say goodbye.

As soon as he returned to the mansion, he saw Pang Tong rushing up and grabbed Cao Peng's arm, "Ah Fu, great joy, great joy!" ”

"Hanzhong?"

Cao Peng was stunned for a moment, and then reacted.

Pang Tong nodded again and again, "That's right, good news from Hanzhong, Xiaozhi has really taken Nanzheng, and Zhang Lu has surrendered ......"
