In April of the fourteenth year of Jian'an, the war in Bingzhou was in full swing. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Cao's army advanced extremely smoothly and was like a bamboo. Cao Zhang conquered Lou Fu and cut off the connection between Karasuma and Gao Gan, which was equivalent to cutting off Gao Gan's arm. Li Dian also advanced rapidly, occupying Taiyuan County at the end of April, and his troops were in the sheep intestine warehouse. Almost all of the high-level grain is hoarded in the sheep intestine warehouse. Now that the sheep intestine warehouse is occupied, Gao Gan panicked. Joined forces with Liu Mao, the king of the Southern Huns, to try to recapture the sheep intestine warehouse.

Who knew that Li Dian made a ruthless move to let go of the sheep intestine warehouse, but burned the grain stored in the sheep intestine warehouse into ashes.

Gao Gan tens of thousands of troops, facing a ruin, crying without tears.

And Li Dian stationed troops to the east of Fenshui, putting on a decisive posture, panicked!

What frightened him even more was that after Cao Zhang occupied Lou Fu, he formed a flanking attack with Li Dian.

At the same time, Deng Ji's pioneer Dachu Huangzhong, Liankelin County and Gaowolf are rapidly approaching Taiyuan... If the soldiers and horses from the east of the river arrive, the high cadres will be killed. In desperation, Gao Gan and Liu hurriedly evacuated Taiyuan County and retreated to Guluo City. However, the loss of Taiyuan County has changed the situation in the prefecture dramatically.

The Yuan generals, who were already panicked and even had their own scheming, looked for a way out like a group of dragons without a leader.

Guluo City is located outside the Great Wall, and the withdrawal of Gao Gan is like giving up control south of the Great Wall. After Deng Ji occupied Gaowolf, he immediately entrusted Xihe County to Yangjie. Immediately, he mobilized his troops and horses, and the troops were divided into two routes. Feng Chao and Huang Zhong each led a piece of soldiers and horses, and marched frantically to the west, directly approaching the party.

At the same time, the lieutenant of the nose hall of Hexi County, the general Xiahoulan, recruited 8,000 soldiers and horses from the eight towns of Mobei and entered Shangdang County from the west. Seeing that the general trend had turned, Shangdang Taishou ordered the cessation of resistance in early May and surrendered the county. Deng Ji was almost bloodless, seized Shangdang County, and stationed troops in Qiuzi.

And the state, in January, lost the land of the four counties.

Gao Gan could only rely on the land of Wuyuan, Shuofang, and Yunzhong to reluctantly negotiate with Cao Jun.

Liu Bao saw that the situation was not good, so he suggested that Gao Gan surrender to the Xianbei king Kebineng, and seconded troops and horses to Xianbei.

However, the troops of Qubei and Tan Zhe launched an attack on Xianbei at this time.

Tan Zhe found the young son of Tan Shi Huai and set up the king of Xianbei to fight against Kirby Neng.

With the support of Hexi County, Tan Zhe quickly gained the support of Xianbei in the west, and he was entangled with Kirby. In such a situation, although Kirby can have the heart to rescue, he is unable to send troops. However, Yan Liyou, the lord of Xianbei East, wanted to take this opportunity to bargain for some cheapness, and did not want to be ambushed by Zhang Liao in Baishan, Yan Liyou died at the foot of Baishan, and Zhang Liao took advantage of the situation to advance northward, forming an extremely effective containment of Kirby's troops into May, and the war situation in the state showed a trend of easing.

It was at this time that Cao Cao issued an order in Juancheng, appointing Cao Peng as the lieutenant of Si Li, and supervising the military in the northwest.

As soon as the news came out, Liangzhou vibrated dàng!

h ten pieces ten pieces ten pieces h ten pieces ten h ten pieces ten pieces h ten pieces ten pieces h ten pieces

After inspecting the front line of Zhu Yuanshan, he entrusted all the Lintao battles to Xu Shu and Hao Zhao.

Cao Ji had to leave Lintao due to illness and went to Didao to recuperate.

However, his withdrawal did not shake the morale of the army. After all, before this, the war in Longxi was presided over by Xu Shu and Hao Zhao, and Cao Ji was more often responsible for the role of a logistics captain.

I have to say that Liangzhou was really single-handedly defeated by Cao Peng.

When Cao Ji was in charge of Liangzhou, although all parties obeyed orders and waited for dispatch, it was inevitable that there would still be situations where Yin Fengyang violated. However, when Cao Peng arrived in Longxi, in just ten days, he issued more than 20 orders. Wuwei was too conservative with Su Ze, Hanyang was too conservative with Shi Tao, Anding was too conservative with Yang Zhuo, Hexi was too conservative with Pang Tong, and Zhangye was too conservative with Mengjian counties, and they immediately changed their previous attitudes.

Needless to say, Shi Tao and others have always given Cao Ji strong support.

However, Wu Wei is too obedient to Su Ze, and Anding is too protective of Yang Zhuo, so he may not be completely under Cao Ji's orders.

Especially Yang Zhuo, who has always been dissatisfied with Cao Ji.

Of course, his dissatisfaction stemmed more from Cao Peng's killing of Wei Duan's father and son in Didao. However, as time went by, Liangzhou became more and more prosperous, and although Yang Zhuo was dissatisfied, he still hid it in his heart. Cao Ji was in power, trembling and extremely diligent. But Yang Zhuo always felt that Cao Ji was not as good as Wei Duan's father and son.

However, when Cao Peng's letter arrived at the desk, Yang Zhuo didn't say a word, and immediately recruited 6,000 soldiers from Anding and sent them to Hanyang. This is the difference between Cao Peng and Cao Ji, if it is Cao Ji, Yang Zhuo may find various reasons to delay. But Cao Peng is different, on the letter, the red seal makes him dare not slack off. Not to mention, Cao Peng's heart is ruthless, but he is famous all over the world.

Yang Zhuo had to consider that if he was angry with Cao Peng, Cao Peng would not hesitate to kill him.

In the past, Cao Peng was just a Taishou who dared to kill the state pastor.

Now that he is in charge of the military in the northwest, it is not difficult to kill him. Just find a reason to make Yang Zhuo's family ruined. After going through many twists and turns, Yang Zhuo is no longer such an impulsive person back then.

He has to think about the consequences, but also about the future......

At the beginning, his friend Zhao Qu was far inferior to him, but now he has become the protector of the Western Regions, with a high position and power.

And what about him?

was Wei Duan's confidant at the beginning, and his reputation was also louder than Zhao Qu.

If it weren't for Zhang Jiyi's recommendation, maybe he would still be idle at home now, worrying about food and clothing.

Although Yang Zhuo's reputation is famous, he has still been affected a lot because he offended Cao Peng before. For example, Zhang Youxin had the intention of recruiting Yang Zhuo as a staff member, but he was dissuaded, saying that it was very likely that you would be like this, which made Cao Peng unhappy. Even if Cao Peng was still serving a prison sentence in Xingyang at that time, Zhang Ji had to think carefully.

It wasn't until later that Cao Peng was ordered to receive the Lu Han Kingdom in Xudu, and Zhang Ji sent someone to test the tone before recruiting Yang Zhuo.

Cao Peng at that time was completely different from Cao Peng today.

No matter how arrogant Yang Zhuo is, he is also a person who knows what is important, where does he dare to be lazy?

As for Su Ze, he will not go against Cao Peng.

After receiving Cao Peng's letter, he immediately mobilized troops and horses, and according to Cao Peng's letter, on the one hand, he strengthened his control over Xiqiang, and on the other hand, he sent troops to gather in Zhangye County and join the soldiers and horses of Zhangye County.

Cao Peng did not use troops immediately, but learned about the situation in various places under Si.

In general, the greatest impact of the Diqiang rebellion was in Jincheng and Longxi.

In contrast, the rest of the world has not been affected as much.

For example, the three counties of Anding, Hexi, and Beidi have hardly any movement. Although Hanyang was affected by Ma Chao's soldiers, Shi Tao's response was appropriate, which also made Hanyang still maintain a calm situation.

Subsequently, Cao Peng was in Didao and joined Jia Xing and Pang Tong, who were ordered to come.

"Childe, don't come unharmed."

Even if he was as arrogant as Pang Tong, after seeing Cao Peng, he changed his previous casualness and saluted respectfully.

It's just that the face that is still a little ugly flashed with excitement.

After six years of absence, Pang Tong is over thirty years old and is entering middle age. Compared with the flying rabbit in the past, six years of taking root in Hexi made him a little more calm and capable. A pair of eyes, the light is deep, and it is difficult to guess. And the passage of time on the face has left some faint marks.

Cao Peng saw Pang Tong, but he took a step forward regardless of the many false courtesies and hugged him hard.

"Why is Shi Yuan still like this?"

If you change people, Pang Tong will inevitably be angry.

But in the face of Cao Peng, this seemingly ridiculous sentence made him feel extremely cordial.

"If Gongzi stays in Hexi for six years, I'm afraid he will be even more unbearable than me."

After that, the two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

The passage of time did not make the friendship between the two weak. On the contrary, it has become more pure for various reasons.

Not everyone will be willing to stay in the bitter cold land of Hexi, and it will be six years to survive.

Now Buying has returned to the Central Plains, Shi Tao has taken over Hanyang, and to some extent, they have all been promoted: only Pang Tong still remains in Hexi County. Hexi County, which had only five counties at that time, has developed into the scale of thirteen counties today. The establishment of the eight towns in Mobei has more than tripled the area of Hexi County. The population has grown from more than 100,000 to more than 500,000 today.

With such a credit, if you change anyone, you will at least change a better place.

But Pang Tong has always stayed in Hexi County, working hard and complaining, and never said anything. This is more due to the friendship with Cao Peng. His younger brother Pang Lin has returned to his hometown in fine clothes, and the scenery is infinite. But what about him?

Still staying in Hexi County!

If it weren't for the support of that friendship, how could it be possible?

"Shi Yuan, let's change your seat."

"Huh?"

"Hexi has begun to take shape now, you better come back and help me."

"Then Hexi County, who will take over?"

"I already have a plan, and I am ready to recommend Huang Zhong and take over Hexi."

"Huang Zhong, what are you talking about, is that Nanyang Huang Hansheng?"

Pang Tong is a native of Jingzhou, so he naturally knows Huang Zhong's name, and he knows how brave this old general is.

Cao Peng nodded: "The old general Han Sheng, now serving under his brother-in-law's account, is said to have accumulated countless military exploits. He once assisted Liu Pan in governing Changsha and was proficient in military affairs. I thought about it and thought it would be best for him to take over. ”

Pang Tong thought for a while and said, "If the old general Hansheng takes over Hexi, I don't have any opinion.

However, the old general alone ......"

Cao Peng smiled slightly and said softly: "Don't worry, I have already made an assistant for him." ”

"Who?"

Cao Peng whispered a name in Pang Tong's ear, but Pang Tongyi was stunned.

"Him?"

"yes...... What do you think? ”

"In terms of talent, he is a good fit.

It's just his identity, and it's inevitable that there will be some more to say, can he agree? You know, his two brothers, but what kind of people they are. ”

"I have my own plan for this."

The person Cao Peng said was Zhuge Jun.

He said softly: "When Mr. Decao left Xudu, he sent someone to send me a letter, asking me to help him. He also said that with his ability, it would be a pity if he followed Mr. Decao into the mountain to cultivate. It's just that his identity is sensitive and not suitable to stay in the Central Plains. I thought about it,

Hexi is a good place to go. ”

"Hmm!" Pang Tong said: "Hexi County is now on the right track, 1 small average ability is there, and it is more suitable for the current situation of Hexi County to do things steadily." Hexi needs a steady development for five to ten years, and it is not suitable for further expansion. It is indeed an excellent choice to let him go at this time. ”

In any case, Pang Tong and the Zhuge family still have some relationship.

Not to mention that Pang Shanmin married Zhuge Liang's sister Zhuge Ling, let's just say that Pang Tong himself was also close to Zhuge and the Zhuge family at the beginning. In the early years, Zhuge Jin gave him a lot of help, and Pang Tong also remembered this affection. It is not bad to be able to leave a line for the Zhuge family and maintain the prosperity of the Zhuge family.

Seeing that Pang Tong had no objections, Cao Peng also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Now my former general's mansion needs two long histories.

Fa Zheng plays one of them, and the other is reserved for you.

It's just that compared to the previous position of a county guard, this position of long history may be a little aggrieved, don't blame Shiyuan. ”

Pang Tong smiled!

"After six years of working for you, I should also be given a break.

said okay, Dai Lu can't lose a penny, hehe, I just took the opportunity to be lazy and have a good time to relax. ”

"Escaped?"

Cao Peng shook his head and said, "I'm afraid, it's not that easy." ”

Inform Pang Tong of the things he agreed with Fa Zheng one by one. When Pang Tong heard that "the soldiers entered the Meridian Valley", he suddenly burst out with a dignified sè.

"Youxue, are you trying to plot West 11?"

Cao Peng nodded solemnly, "I also agree with the plan of filial piety."

The livelihood of the West 11 people is erosive, and if Liu Zhang tries his best, it may take a few years before he has a chance.

However, he invited Liu Bei to undoubtedly lure the wolf into the room.

You also know that Kong Mingfei is the kind of person who is subservient, and he will definitely plan for Liu Bei to seize West 11... In this way, at the latest, West 11 will be chaotic. That's when I captured West 11! ”

Pang Tong was stunned for a long time......

After a while, he sighed, "Kong Ming, my heart is too big." ”

"Okay, put this matter aside for now, Hanzhong is responsible for its own filial piety.

I need to put the Northwest in peace before the end of the year. Regardless of the Hehuang Qiang, or the two Qiangs in Huangzhong, including Na Ma Chao, and all those who have bad intentions, they must be eliminated one by one to ensure that I will attack the West 11 in the coming year. ”

Pang Tong was speechless for a long time, and finally nodded in approval.

"Now the power of the northwest is enough for Youxue to capture West 11!"

However, he thought about it again and said, "The rebellion in the northwest is chaotic for Dou Mao, the king of Di.

The river is always a problem for the henchmen, and it is a pity that you failed to eradicate it back then.

The rebellion of the horses is not to be worried, and the two Qiang in Huangzhong should not be a big deal.

As long as the river can be leveled, the northwest rebellion, ten to six or seven, horses and Huangzhong two Qiang, difficult to become a climate. ”

When Cao Peng heard this, he was immediately overjoyed.

"What Shi Yuan said coincides with me.

"It's just that Wang Duwei was seriously injured and had to return to Lintao to recuperate.

What about Zhao Yun, can it be done? There is one more thing, the tiger head was in the middle of the ambush, and I have always been strange in my heart.

Tiger Head is not a reckless person, and his marching route is extremely secretive, how could he be ambushed?

There must be something strange in this. You'd better let the little viper check it out before you move. ”

Pang Tong's words, Cao Peng's heart tightened.

Listening to the meaning of his words, it seemed that he was doubting Zhao Yun. In fact, after Wang Mai's accident, it was Zhao Yun who took over Longqi City. Originally, Cao Peng didn't guess in this direction at all, but Pang Tong's reminder made him feel an inexplicable nervousness.

Zhao Yun?

No way!

Fly.

Cao Peng would not believe it if he was killed, Zhao Yun was doing a ghost here.

In any case, Zhao Yun is famous for his loyalty, and in later generations, there are too many legends about him. For the five tiger generals of Shu Han, they have their own opinions. However, Zhao Yun has always been praised.

"Shiyuan's meaning ......"

"In this matter, it's best to go to Longqi City and find out."

No matter how much Cao Peng believes in Zhao Yun in his heart.

But Pang Tong's words are not unreasonable.

Wang Mai was ambushed, and there were indeed suspicious points, if he couldn't find out clearly, Cao Peng's heart would be difficult to settle down.

"In that case, let's go to Longqi City in two days!"

Just when Cao Cao officially appointed Cao Peng as the lieutenant of Si Li, and made the envoy to supervise the northwest military, Cao Peng had already converged with Jia Xing, who had come to Di Dao, and then embarked on the road to Longqi City.

Jia Xing came this time and also brought 800 white Luo Luo.

Previously, Bai Luobing fought in Liao in the Central Plains, and the damage was not small. Later, he returned to Liangzhou and has been training intensively.

Eight hundred white Luo soldiers, six hundred flying Luo soldiers, and one hundred Yan soldiers, a total of 1,500 people, were Cao Peng's escorts.

Shamoko was long and fat, wearing heavy armor, and carrying weapons into battle, an ordinary war horse, which was unbearable.

And a divine horse like the Lion and Tiger is not so easy to come by. This has also made Shamoko distressed all the time.

Eight hundred white Luo were sent to Di Dao and immediately solved the problem.

Shamoke valued the white Luo King at a glance, and sat on the white Luo after the drape, like a tiger with wings.

His eight-foot-long iron thistle bone is even more powerful when it matches the height of the White Luo King.

Cao Peng saw that Shamoke was very fond of Bai Luobing, so Suo Xing handed over Bai Zhubing to Commander Shamoke. And the Fei Luo soldiers are led by Cao Peng himself, accompanied by Pang Tong and Jia Xing, Wenwu Wang Shuang and Sixiao,

will, let's go to Longqi City together.

This time, Cao Peng did not hide his identity again.

Along the way, he made a big show and made it clear that he was telling those people in the northwest who had ill intentions: I, Cao Peng, are back!

For Cao Peng's return, under the rule of Liangzhou, it was also quite shocking.

At that time, Cao Peng swept Liangzhou, eliminated Ma Teng, and shocked Qiang Di, which can be described as famous.

More importantly, Cao Peng brought unprecedented prosperity to Liangzhou, which made many Liangzhou people feel sorry for him. Some of the wealthy and powerful families who were stupid and wanted to reap the benefits of the Northwest Rebellion immediately died down.

Now it is not Cao Ji who is in charge of Liangzhou.

After all, Cao Ji was caused by Xing's affection, which was relatively mild. Most of the problems are dealt with by a gentle means.

But Cao Peng ......

This guy is a murderous master who doesn't blink an eye, and is extremely murderous.

If it falls into his hands, it will definitely not be as good as Cao Ji. When the time comes, other benefits will not be gained, but the family will be ruined, but the gains outweigh the losses. In this case, Cao Peng went all the way unimpeded.

Even he didn't expect that just because of his arrival, Liangzhou would suddenly become stable.

Longqi City, also known as Longzhi City and Longyi City.

In the Xinmang era, Longqi City was the county of Xihai County, and its purpose was also set up for the land of Hehuang.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty and the emperor's time, it was rebuilt and renamed Longqi City. Later, this place became the garrison of the Western Governor.

When Cao Peng and his entourage arrived in Jincheng, they received a warm welcome.

Jincheng is too guarded, and Xu Shu should be responsible. But because Ma Chao raised troops, Xu Shu couldn't move at all, and finally had to change temporarily, and Cao Hong recommended a person to pretend to be the Taishou of Jincheng and temporarily take over the affairs of Jincheng.

And what about Jia Xing?

Originally, according to Guo Jia's intentions, let him serve as Zhangye Taishou.

But Jia Xu disagreed, thinking that Jia Xing's talent was not enough to guard a county, and Meng Jian was finally in charge of Zhangye County.

Now that Cao Peng is here, Jincheng Taishou naturally wants to welcome him.

Not to mention Cao Peng's own position, just talking about his relationship with Cao Hong can't tolerate Jincheng being too sloppy.

After a day of rest in Yunwu, Cao Peng continued to hurry.

When the group arrived in Anyi County, Jia Xing suddenly handed over a piece of information to Cao Peng.

This Jia Xing is worthy of being passed down by Jia Xu.

In Liangzhou for six years, an intelligence system was also established.

According to Jia Xing, under this intelligence network, all spies are called moths.

And the moths in the northwest region, there are as many as 1,000 people. This is definitely a remarkable achievement in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

"Since Zhao Yun came to Liangzhou, he was arranged by Jun Shigong to be stationed in Longqi City to assist Wang Duwei in garrisoning.

has always performed very well, and even won the attention of Wang Duwei.

However, when he first arrived in Liangzhou, he asked someone to send a boy, two girls, and a child to Jiuquan to settle down, and now he has settled in Yuanquan. Other than that, he doesn't have any out-of-the-ordinary behavior and is very diligent.

In October last year, he got married in Longqi City.

He married a Qiang girl, who is said to have rescued a woman he rescued when he was patrolling the river, and the two were also very affectionate.

It's just that I inquired, and the tribe that the Qiang girl said was annexed two years ago and has long since ceased to exist......"

Cao Peng was stunned when he heard this, and said in surprise: "Zilong, are you already married?" ”

"Yes!"

"It was a happy event."

Cao Peng didn't care much, but asked casually: "What is the name of the Qiang girl?" ”

"The people of Longqi City are all called Zhao Niangzi, and it is said that I have no name."

In the Qiang tribe, it is normal for women to have a low status and not have a name.

Cao Peng scratched his head and said to Pang Tong: "But I didn't know about it, I knew that I should have prepared to write a gift."

I hope Zilong doesn't blame him for this. ”

Judging from Jia Xing's information, Zhao Yun has no problem.

As for the man, two women and a child, I think it is Lu Zhu and Mrs. Gan, Mrs. Mi and Adou Liu Chan.

Cao Peng knew about it, so he didn't care about it. Judging from the behavior of Lu Zhu and others, they did not live in Wuwei County, but went to Jiuquan and settled outside Yumen Pass.

Now that Elfang is an official in Zhangye County with Meng Jian, with him taking care of him, the problem will not be too big.

Go back and let Jia Xing pay more attention to Lu Zhu and others, and you don't need to bother too much.

It's just that Cao Peng didn't find out.

When Jia Xing talked about the situation of Zhao Niangzi, Pang Tong had a strange expression Longqi City, located at the end of Huangshui.

After leaving Anyi County, he went up the river and arrived at Mucheng Valley three days later.

Longqi City is vaguely visible.

And at the head of the city, flags fluttered. When Cao Peng and his entourage were still twenty miles away from Longqi City, there was a report from Tanma: "General Zhao of Longqi City led the generals of Longqi City to welcome the arrival of the general in front of him!" ”！。
