Just one Song Xian, to be honest, there is nothing to worry about.

Although he is a well-known Eight Athletes, there are also high and low Eight Athletes. At least in Cao Peng's opinion, Wei Xu, Hou Cheng, Song Xian and others are a big difference with Zhang Liao. Sitting in the big tent of the barracks outside Hailing County, Cao Peng thought of many things in an instant. Once this battle starts, there will be no room for maneuver between him and Lu Bu...... It's a pity for Diao Chan's hard work.

"Lu Bu sent Song Xian as the main general, with Song Guang as the vanguard, and led 6,000 soldiers to attack Haixi."

Speaking of this, Cao Peng paused slightly, and his gaze swept over everyone's faces.

Hao Zhao, who came overnight, obviously showed embarrassment. He seemed to be a little restless, his face was white at one time and red at another.

"My relationship with Hercynian must be clear to everyone.

Although my brother-in-law has not yet sent someone to ask for help, I will not sit idly by. I am not a belligerent, but I will not allow anyone to ruin my heart's work. Lu Bu, Yu Hu also! Cannibalism is acceptable, but educating people is not what it is good at. If Haixi falls into the hands of Lu Bu, all the hard work of the previous year will be in vain. The most terrible thing is that the people of Haixi will be displaced again, and when the time comes, Hailing will also be affected.

Wang Xu, do you think so? ”

Wang Xu was silent for a moment and nodded vigorously.

He had seen with his own eyes the dangers of the displaced people, and he knew that once Haixi was in chaos, Huainan would not be spared.

Hailing County finally breathed a sigh of relief, and it was said that Paoze finally had a stable life. If it is destroyed, he will never agree.

"My lord, the last general is willing to lead a group of soldiers and horses to gallop to the aid of Haixi."

Wang Xu got up and intervened to ask for his life.

In doing so, he can be regarded as showing Cao Peng his determination.

"Since this is the case, then we will immediately send troops and prepare to fight Lu Bu.

However, Hailing County has only stabilized, and there are still people to garrison...... Where is Wang Mai? ”

"The end will be."

"I order you to lead a hundred elite soldiers to guard Hailing County. If there is an accident, you can immediately ask Guangling for help. ”

"Whoa!"

"Hao Zhao."

Hao Zhao was stunned, and then showed a gloomy color.

He slowly got up and arched his hand, "The last general." ”

"You will lead a hundred elite soldiers, guard the Tanglin Pavilion, and strengthen the defense of the river."

"Whoa."

And so it was...... Hao Zhao's heart is actually very complicated.

On the one hand, it was not what he wanted to confront Lu Bu. Anyway, he is Lu Bu's hometown, and he is also from the state. Moreover, Lu Bu used to be Hao Zhao's idol, even if he was later sent to Cao Peng by Lu Bu, he still admired Lu Bu very much in his heart. However, Cao Peng treats him not too thinly, at least all the time, he has not treated him like a master and a servant, but more like a friend and brother.

Thinking about the beginning, Cao Peng made a grand vow, which also made Hao Zhao admire.

Especially in Haixi, it can be said that Cao Peng single-handedly played the situation in Haixi. During this period, various means made Hao Zhao respect Cao Peng very much. He was reluctant to fight with Lu Bu, but he was even more unwilling to be abandoned by Cao Peng. Stay? Cao Peng's distrust has been illustrated. Even Cao Peng doesn't trust him anymore, what's the point if he continues to stay? If he doesn't stay, where can he go?

Hao Zhao is older than Cao Peng, but because he has been living in the barracks, he is very simple-minded.

His worries were all shown on his face, and Cao Peng also saw it in his eyes. It's just that Cao Peng didn't say anything, nor did he explain him, and continued to assign tasks. With Buqi as the Hailing Sima and Kan Ze as the Dongling Pavilion Sima, he was responsible for assisting Wang Mai and Hao Zhao to stay in place.

After a series of tasks were assigned, Cao Peng said 'let's disperse', and everyone got up one after another.

"Bo Dao!"

Cao Peng summoned Hao Zhao.

Hao Zhao, who was a little confused, stopped and turned his head to look over.

"Childe ......"

"Come with me."

Cao Peng stepped forward with a smile and patted Hao Zhao on the shoulder.

Hao Zhao is much taller than Cao Peng, and his physique is much stronger. But for some reason, Hao Zhao didn't feel unnatural.

The two walked out of the tent and out of the camp, and there was no conversation along the way.

"Childe ......"

"Bodao, you listen to me first." Cao Peng stopped, looked at Hao Zhao, and said in a deep voice: "I know that you may not be very happy in your heart now, but I hope you can understand that the reason why you are allowed to stay in Tanglin Pavilion is not because I don't believe in you, but because of your consideration." ”

"Thinking about me?"

"You're from Bingzhou, aren't you?"

"Exactly."

"Your subordinate is all from Xiapi, right?"

"Yes."

"Then have you ever thought about how to face the past robe when you encounter it on the battlefield in the future?"

"This ......"

"Obviously, you're not thinking it through." Cao Peng said softly: "In my opinion, you have been doubting, should you defect?" Or do you want to kill the enemy together? Your hesitation is not suitable for going to the field, it will hurt you, and it will also harm those who follow you. The eldest husband returned the horse leather shroud, and the reason is correct. But this horse leather shroud also depends on the situation. I don't want you to ruin your life because of hesitation. You are talented, you have more skills, and you should do big things in the future, not die because of hesitation. ”

"But, I ......"

Hao Zhao was halfway through his words and swallowed it back.

Cao Peng smiled: "Look, you yourself are not sure. ”

As he spoke, he rolled over and straddled his horse.

"Bodao, do you know what you lack right now?"

"What?"

Hao Zhao's eyes were full of confusion.

"A firm heart!"

Cao Peng was on the horse, clenching his fists and making a firm movement, "You are not firm yourself, how can you make your parts as firm as you are?"

Song Xian, just a clown jumping off the beam, don't worry.

But I don't want you to hesitate when facing Lu Bu...... Go back to Tanglin Pavilion and take care of my home for me. Hailing is my foundation, and it is difficult to strengthen both sides with Bosheng alone. When you think you won't hesitate any longer, I'll let you fight. Not just facing Lu Bu, but also yourself...... Okay, I'm going back to the city, you also rush back to the Tanglin Pavilion, and after you figure it out, tell me. ”

After speaking, Cao Peng turned the horse's head and whipped away.

Outside the camp gate, Hao Zhao looked at Cao Peng's distant back, and said to himself: Firm heart?

He couldn't figure it out, but in his heart, he didn't seem to have the depression and confusion he had before. At least, Childe still believes in me!

Taking a deep breath, Hao Zhao raised his head and looked at the dark night sky.

Childe is right, I still hesitate to ......———————————————————— Haixi, the tower.

Deng Ji tightened the robe on his body and stood at the window, with a bird's-eye view of Haixi County at night.

The lights of the west school field are dotted, and the sound of fighting from the school field is bang, and it has passed the third watch. The whole of Haixi County seems to be very quiet. Faintly, you can hear a team of patrolmen walking under the tower, with neat steps, exuding a majestic atmosphere.

In the entire Haixi County, there are a total of 800 soldiers and horses.

Among them, there were 200 patrolmen, 100 law enforcement teams, 300 tuntian soldiers, and 200 sailors.

Because Haixi County has blocked the illegal salt access in the East China Sea, the illegal salt dealers have no choice but to find other ways. This also includes shipping from the sea, that is, loading ships from Qishan and transporting them along the coastal road. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the sea ships were not too powerful, and they could only sail along the coastal sea. The eight sea ships intercepted from Yuzhou Mountain were enough to block the sea route. Zhoucang was based on Yuzhou Mountain and Island, and completely blocked the sea route from Qishan to Haixi. Two sea ships in a team, taking turns to attack, has gradually become a bit of a naval army.

However, these 200 sailors are not known...... This is also the result of Cao Peng's thousands of instructions before leaving Haixi.

Even the islands of Yuzhou Mountain are secretly occupied. It's a desert island now, and even Tokai-gun doesn't know what's going on.

"Sir, it's late!"

Hu Ban walked up from downstairs and stood still behind Deng Ji.

"Madame sent someone to urge, saying that she asked the master to go back early."

Deng Ji suddenly woke up, turned his head and asked, "Messenger, have you ever sent it?" ”

"Mr. Puyang has sent someone to Hailing, it is estimated that at this time, he should have arrived in Sheyang, and at the latest at dawn, Gongzi will receive the news."

"Before Ah Fu left, he told me: The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it.

At the time, I didn't really care about it, but now it seems ...... Haixi County swallowed 30,000 sea people, and its momentum was already terrifying. This autumn harvest, I shouldn't make a big deal about it. Although the price of grain in Haixi fell to 30 yuan per liter, it attracted the eyes of others. ”

"However, the people of Haixi are very grateful to the master."

Deng Ji smiled bitterly and said softly: "I suppressed the price of grain, and they are grateful; But if I bring them war, will they be grateful? 6,000 soldiers and horses...... Lu Wenhou seems to be bound to win Haixi this time. A fierce battle is inevitable. ”

Huban did not answer.

In fact, the autumn harvest is no wonder Deng Ji is flamboyant.

The storage of millions of grains not only made Deng Ji a little carried away, but even many people, including Puyang Min, were also excited.

There was only one person who had prevented Deng Ji from suppressing food prices at that time.

The reason is very simple: the price of grain in Haixi County is 70 yuan per liter, which seems to be very high, but in fact, compared with other places, it is already very low! For example, in Xudu, which also has a bumper harvest, the price of grain is now 110 yuan per liter, while in Xiapi and other places, the price of grain is as high as 300 yuan.

At a price of 70 yuan, it is just right to stabilize Haixi.

If the price of grain is lowered further, it will inevitably cause others to peep into Haixi County...... It's a pity that such a suggestion was ignored by many people at the time. For this reason, Dai Gan, the chief bookkeeper, even quarreled fiercely with that man. Although Deng Ji did not speak at the time, from the perspective of attitude, he undoubtedly stood on Dai Gan's side, and finally suppressed grain prices.

Perhaps, that person can relieve the old man's worries?

"Master, you don't have to worry."

"Huh?"

"Pan Wenqi has the courage to be unstoppable, and Zhou County Lieutenant is also experienced in a hundred battles.

Our Haixi County is not a place for bullying. The lord has a very high prestige in Haixi, and he only needs to raise his arms and shout, who dares to disobey?

As for Lu Bu's 6,000 soldiers and horses, why don't you ask someone for advice? ”

"Who?"

Hu Ban couldn't help laughing, "The master's brothers are not idle people.

I still remember that when I first came to Haixi, Childe inquired about his situation many times, and obviously attached great importance to him. The fact that he had advised him to stop the suppression of food prices is enough to show that he had foresight. Why don't you ask him for advice, maybe there is a way to deal with it. ”

Deng Ji's eyes lit up, "You mean, Bo Miao?" ”

In an instant, the spirit suddenly lifted a lot.

"Yes, let's go to Bo Miao's house for advice."

"But it's getting late......"

"It's okay, I think Bo Miao hasn't rested at this time."

Deng Ji hurriedly walked down the tower, and an entourage had already led the horse, Hu Ban helped Deng Ji to turn over and get on the horse, and then straddled the horse.

A group of people, in the dark night, rushed along the wet streets.

When I was about to reach the North Market, I turned into an alley and stopped at the entrance of a house. Hu Ban dismounted first and helped Deng Ji get off the horse. Then he took three steps and made two steps, and then jumped up the door, reached out and grabbed the knocker, and puffy puffy puffed it three times. Inside the door, footsteps were heard.

"Deng Xian?"

The door opened, and out of the courtyard came a forty-year-old man with a lantern in his hand.

Deng Ji was a little stunned.

Just because the old man was neatly dressed, he couldn't see any sign of getting up in a hurry.

As soon as he was about to speak, he saw the old man bow down and said softly: "Eldest son, my son-in-law is in the study and has been waiting for a long time. ”

"It's so late, and Bo Miao hasn't rested yet?"

"Childe said that the eldest prince would definitely come, so he has been waiting in the study."

When Deng Ji heard this, he couldn't help but feel shocked in his heart, and hurriedly walked up the steps and stepped into the house.

Hu Ban and the old family member Deng Xian rested in the side room. Seeing the packed luggage on the bed in the side room, Hu Ban's heart was stunned.

"Old Deng, you ...... this"

"The young master said that if the eldest prince doesn't come today, after dawn, he will say goodbye and leave."

Hu Ban shook his head, "Old Deng, where are you going?" ”

"Back to my hometown...... In fact, before coming to Haixi, my son-in-law heard that Brazil was too good to guard Pang Xi, and he had already intended to go to Brazil to defect. It was only when the eldest prince sent a letter inviting him to come to Haixi to seek wealth and prosperity, and the prince changed his mind and brought me here...... You know what happened after that! The eldest prince was very smooth in Haixi, and the eldest son felt that the eldest prince was a little arrogant, so he was not too satisfied.

If the eldest prince doesn't come today, then the eldest son won't stay and help the eldest prince. ”

Good guy, I almost missed a big thing!

Hu Ban couldn't help but secretly rejoice, fortunately he thought of this, otherwise...... But listening to Deng Xian's words, this Deng Gongzi, could it be that he already has a strategy to break the enemy? A big stone in my heart was immediately put back in my stomach.

If so, Haixi has no worries!

At the same time, Deng Ji stepped into the study.

In the study, two large waxes were lit, and the ten-centimeter-long flames were popping.

In the center of the study, a map hangs. In front of the map, a young man in a bright red brocade robe stood with his hands in his hands.

He had his back to the door, his long hair hanging over his shoulders.

Hearing footsteps, the young man turned around. I saw that his skin was fair, his face was like powder, his sword eyebrows were bright, and he exuded a heroic atmosphere.

Seeing that it was Deng Ji coming in, the young man also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Big brother, you're finally here."

Deng Ji looked at the young man, and stepped forward after a while, "I regret not listening to Bo Miao's persuasion, so that Haixi will have a disaster today." I know that I was a little flamboyant before, but I still hope that Bo Miao can see the past and help me to protect a Qingming ...... in Haixi."

The young man hurriedly stepped forward, "Big brother, why are you doing this?" ”

He smiled slightly, "If Lu Bu comes in person, or if Zhang Liao commands the army, I can't persuade the eldest brother to let you go out of Haixi and retreat to Donghai County." However, just one Song Xian, even if there are 6,000 soldiers and horses, in my eyes, it is just a chicken and a dog's ear, why should the eldest brother worry? ”

Deng Ji's eyes lit up, "Bo Miao, will the plan be released?" ”
