Chapter 301: Yanjin of Guandu

Recommended votes, recommended votes!

I look to you for ...... 7.12 recommended votes have not been used brothers, vote for me.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” fact, the loss of burning the white horse is not small.

Of the forty-seven warriors who set the fire, nearly twenty were killed. But they weren't killed while fighting people, but ...... That night, the fire in Hakuba was very strong. Everyone was roasted unconscious by the end. A few of them were roasted alive in the caves, while the rest couldn't stand the heat and wanted to cool down in the well water. But at that time, the well water was also boiling!

The story of boiling frogs in warm water has been heard by many people.

Cao Peng's own soldiers became frogs in the well water. At first, the well water was very cold and comfortable to stay in, but as the fire grew, the well water gradually warmed up. Many people are unaware that the well water is heating up at first, so that by the time they finally realize that something is not good, they are unable to get out. In the end, these people were like frogs in a pot, boiled alive.

But it is impossible for Gan Ning to tell Cao Peng these things...... Cao Peng was in a coma because of prostration, and he lay in bed for three more days before he was able to stay and walk.

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, the weather is still a little cold.

Cao Peng walked out of the room, feeling a little dizzy. However, he still insisted on letting his soldiers help him walk in the courtyard and slowly recover his strength. After walking for about a stick of incense, I was sweating, and I saw Xiahou Lan and a few people walking slowly.

"Big Bear, Ziyou, Bodao, can you go to the ground?"

"Yes!"

Deng Fan glanced at Cao Peng and asked with some concern, "Ah Fu, are you okay?" ”

"What's good?"

Cao Peng couldn't help laughing: "It's just that you can move."

This time it was almost steamed, and it didn't take ten days and a half to recover, so I'm afraid it would be difficult to recover. But the more this happens, the more you have to move around, and lying in bed will kill you. ”

Xia Houlan and the three couldn't help laughing.

Standing in the small pavilion, Cao Peng slowly took a trip to Tai Chi, so that his almost stiff body was fully moved.

It's just that after this small fight, the whole person seems to have been fished out of the water. When he walked out of the pavilion, he saw Deng Fan and the three of them, also practicing boxing on the side. It can be seen from the actions given to them that for a while, I am afraid that they will not be able to return to their peak state.

I walked slowly around the courtyard again, waiting for the sweat to dry out naturally.

The sun rises in early spring, and the bright sun shines on the garden, and the tender green branches and buds hang with dew, reflecting colorful light and shadow in the sun.

Spring is coming!

Kan Ze and Gan Ning walked over from outside the garden, but saw Cao Peng standing quietly in the pavilion.

The left foot sticks out half a step, the left hand needs to be raised, the palm of the hand is facing up, as if holding something; With your right foot behind you, your right leg bent slightly, and your weight is all on your right leg, with your right palm facing down, as if pressing something. Facing the sun, I exhale and inhale, and the breath pulse seems very long, almost missing. This seemingly simple action is the entry pile in the later generations of Xingyi Boxing, the three-body pose.

Gan Ning could see some clues, but Kan Ze couldn't see the mystery.

However, at this time, neither of them went up to disturb, but just watched quietly.

After about half an hour, Cao Peng finally finished his work, slowly retracted his legs and feet, and moved around the pavilion, and his spirit seemed to improve a lot.

"Xingba, Derun, you're here."

"Yes!"

"Is there any news from Yanjin?"

Kan Ze nodded, and walked into the pavilion with Gan Ning.

"Cao Gong has led his troops to Kuangcheng and confronted Yuan's army in Yanjin.

However, General Xiahou has relieved Chen Liutaishou of his duties, and the Marquis of Guangchang Tinghou has taken over the troops and horses. General Xiahou was appointed by Cao Gong as the Taishou of Taishan, and rushed to Taishan County three days ago. I heard that Donghai County's Taishou Changfeng seemed a little strange, so he ordered General Xiahou to go. ”

Changfeng, also known as Changba, was originally Taishan Kou.

Because of Zang Ba, it was renamed Changfeng, and Sun Guan Wu Dun Yin Li gathered people, Kou Yu Taishan. Later, he surrendered to LΓΌ Bu with Zang Ba, and LΓΌ Bu was killed in battle, and Chang Xianfu returned to Cao Ying, and was appointed as the county guard of the East China Sea. Kan Ze said it very easily, but Cao Peng sensed that something was wrong.

Cao Ying ordered Xiahou Yuan to serve as the Taishan County Taishou?

Could it be that Zang Ba has a problem?

Chang Feng was Zang Ba's man, and Zang Ba was stationed in Qingzhou at this time, fighting with Yuan Tan.

Who can guarantee that Chang Feng's eccentricity has nothing to do with Zang Ba? At least in Cao Peng's view, there must be some implication.

Otherwise, the battle of Guandu has just begun, and Cao Ying is employing people.

But he transferred the general around him, Xiahou Yuan, who was the most trusted, from the main battlefield and went to Taishan County to be the Taishou, there must be something wrong with this.

"What about Captain Lu?"

"Captain Lu was also transferred, and he was appointed as the Taishou of Langya County."

Captain Lu is the captain of the Tun cavalry Lu Qian, who was the Taishou of Taishan County.

When Cao Peng heard this, he immediately understood that there must be something wrong with Zang Ba.

Zang Ba is now stationed in Qi County, facing Yuan Tan's soldiers and horses. And the arrival of Lu Qian and Xiahou Yuan is equivalent to separating Qi County and Donghai County at once, making it impossible to echo. But the question is, why did this happen at the good end? Puyang has been recaptured, and Zang Ba ...... No way!

Zang Ba is a smart person and will definitely not take a stand at such a time.

I think that at the beginning, Cao Yingbing trapped Pi, and Zang Ba hid in Mount Tai, and never returned to obedience.

It wasn't until the outer city of Xiapi was broken that Zang Ba surrendered to Cao Ying...... That is a man who does not see rabbits and eagles, and now that the war situation is uncertain, how can he easily take a stand? If it were Cao Peng, he would definitely choose to stick to it at this time and watch the development of the situation on the sidelines. Wait until the situation is about to become clearer, and then take a stand, in order to obtain the greatest benefits. At this time...... It is impossible for Zang Ba to rebel.

So, is it Changfeng?

Cao Peng couldn't help but sneer.

To be honest, if he hadn't stayed in Xuzhou at the beginning, he wouldn't even remember that there was such a person as Changyi.

The Taishou of Donghai County seems to be very good and powerful, but it is really an assignment given to appease Zang Ba. He wants to start an incident in Tokai County? There is no possibility of victory at all. Not to mention Lu Qian Xiahou Yuan, even if it is Deng Ji, who is about to leave office, or Bu Qi, who is about to take office, he can threaten Donghai County at any time. Zhoucang also has two sea vessels that can land in Qu County...... Pan Zhang was appointed as the lieutenant of Houqiu, and he could come to the city at any time. There are also tens of thousands of troops in Haixi, as well as Wang Mai, Deng Zhi and others, how can it be possible for Changfeng to succeed?

The only doubt is why Chang Feng is weird and what is weird...... Closing his eyes, Cao Peng was silent.

For a long time, he suddenly looked at Kan Ze, and saw Kan Ze smiling and nodding lightly at him.

"Liu Bei!"

Cao Peng's eyes widened, and he asked in a deep voice, "Right?" ”

"Childe is really powerful, I just mentioned it, and Childe guessed the approximately."

"So, Liu Bei fled to the East China Sea?"

"Quite possibly!"

Kan Ze handed a blue-gray robe to Cao Peng and asked him to put it on to protect him from the cold.

Then he sat down and said: "Now that the big war is coming, and the places are heavily guarded, it is not easy for Liu Bei to go south.

His wife's family was originally a powerful family in the East China Sea and had quite a foundation.

Although he suffered a strong blow from his son later, his prestige still exists, and his foundation is still there. The East China Sea Elk's family is in Qishan, and there are still more than 1,000 people, plus servants, there can be two or three thousand. Chang Feng is lustful and greedy, if he pays a lot of money, who knows that he will not be moved?

Previously, Liu Bei occupied Puyang, and he must not be willing to live under others.

There are still some capable people under him, and it is hard to guarantee that he will not come up with a cunning rabbit strategy for him...... So I guessed that Liu Bei would flee to the East China Sea. ”

This guy is really a Xiaoqiang who can't be beaten!

Cao Peng couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion in his heart, and said softly: "Liu Xuande, it's not simple!" ”

He said this from the heart.

Since his rebirth, although he has only fought Liu Bei once, Cao Peng can feel Liu Bei's excellence. That's really not like the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, or what later generations said, only crying! When it comes to means, Liu Bei may not lose too much to Cao Ying.

No wonder, he can stand with Cao Ying.

Struggling to stand up, Gan Ning hurriedly went over to support him.

Cao Peng tightened his coat and slowly walked out of the pavilion.

Xia Houlan and the others had finished practicing their fists and feet, and they were walking slowly while talking and laughing in a low voice.

Among the three of them, Deng Fan is the one who has been in contact with Cao Peng for the longest time and has learned Cao Peng's skills the most. At the same time, Deng Fan is also the most obedient to Cao Peng's teachings, and there will never be any mistakes. Cao Peng will do what he practices and teaches. Even when he taught Xiahou Lan and Hao Zhao, he also followed what Cao Peng said before. For example, warm up before practicing, and you can't sit down immediately after practicing.

And so on...... "Big Bear, let's go back to the house." ”

"Yes."

"What were you talking about?"

Deng Fan laughed and said, "It's nothing, just talking about General Gongming." ”

"Oh?"

General Komeito is Xu Huang.

At this time, Xu Huang took the position of a partial general, and Xi was the Taishou of Dongjun and stationed in Puyang. Yu Ban was stationed in Liqiu, and stationed troops in Qinting to monitor the movements of Yuan Jun on the river. Li Dian led the troops and horses of his headquarters to garrison Wei Township, echoing each other in Xu Huang, showing a trend of resistance.

"The first two days of Xudong County discussed with me and hoped that I would stay in Puyang."

Cao Peng frowned, did not express his opinion, just quietly listened to Deng Fan.

"Xu Dongjun also took a fancy to Ziyou, so I persuaded Ziyou to stay as well, and allowed Sima Yidong County to participate in the military position......"

Sima joined the military, but he was not a petty official.

Dongjun is a large county, and there are three Sima quotas, all of which are more than a thousand stones. Joining the military, that is the real thousand stones.

Xu Huang actually took a fancy to Xia Houlan and Deng Fan?

Cao Peng turned his head in surprise and glanced at Gan Ning.

It stands to reason that the one who should be valued the most is Gan Ning.

But after thinking about it again, Cao Peng was immediately relieved. Gan Ning is Cao Peng's henchman, and Cao Peng is Cao Peng's celebrity. Digging up Cao Peng's henchmen, if he doesn't get it right, he will offend Cao Peng, and Xu Huang may not be willing to do it. So it was normal for him to set his eyes on Xia Houlan.

It's a pity that Xu Huang still looked away.

Cao Peng's most important thing, in addition to Gan Ning, is Hao Zhao.

Hao Zhao's martial arts are not particularly outstanding, just second-rate peaks. However, he was born in a camp and had extremely strong methods of governing the army...... In Cao Peng's heart, although Xiahou Lan is strong, she is not as good as Hao Zhao. Hao Zhao's black eye is Cao Peng's most reliable confidant.

"Ziyou, what do you say?"

Xia Houlan said with a smile: "Although Sima is very tempting to join the military, I think it is still comfortable to be by the side of Gongzi." ”

Cao Peng heard it and laughed too!

After all, he didn't live up to his hard work, and it seems that Xia Houlan is still very loyal to herself.

"Big Bear, are you going?"

Deng Fan shook his head and said with a smile: "I don't want to." Sima was exhausted from working as a Laoshizi in Chen County, and finally came out, and I didn't want to go again. ”

"But I think you should go."

"Why?"

Cao Peng stretched out his hand and wrapped his arms around Deng Fan's shoulders.

It is not so much that he is holding Deng Fan, but that he is walking on Deng Fan's shoulder.

Gan Ning and the others took a few steps back and distanced themselves from Cao Peng. They knew that Cao Peng and Deng Fan must have something to say.

"Uncle Juye and your mother, they both hope that you can get ahead and make a career.

Now, you have a good foundation, and to be honest, I don't think you will be particularly useful if you stay in Xudu. Now that the Lord is at war with Yuan Shao, stay in Puyang, and you have a lot of opportunities. Look at Brother Hutou, now that he has become the commander of Guangling and Sima joins the military, you can't be worse than him...... You are in a different situation from Ziyou, you are still burdened with the expectations of Uncle Juye. ”

"But ......"

"Fifth brother, listen to me." Cao Peng lowered his voice and said: "In terms of ability, Xu Gongming is much stronger than Uncle Zilian.

I think you can learn a lot from Xu Gongming if you stay. That's a skill that you can't even learn by my side...... We are eight brothers, and now the fourth brother is gone. If you want to talk about closeness, you and Hutou are the closest to me. The eldest brother has a family background and a lot of opportunities. But what about us, although I have joined the clan, but after all, I am an outsider, and if there is no one to help me, I will not be able to gain a foothold.

The better you and Tiger Head do, the more status I will have in the clan, and I will be able to fight for more opportunities for our brothers when the time comes!

Fifth brother, I want you to stay in Puyang, not only for your future, but also for me, for the good future of our brothers. ”

Deng Fan pondered for a long time, and finally nodded.

"Then I'll listen to you."

Cao Peng smiled and walked to the bedroom with Deng Fan's shoulder.

But as he walked, he muttered in his heart: It seems that this Puyang can't stay for a long time...... In case one day Xu Huang digs the foot of the wall and digs into Gan Ning Hao Zhao and them, I can't guarantee that they will talk to me like Xiahou Daxiong. And Kan Ze must also stay!

Well, in two days, when my body recovers a little more, I must leave Puyang...... Presumably, Lao Cao and Lao Yuan have already started a war!

Yan Liang was killed by me, so ugly...... Cao Ying is preparing again, how to deal with Wen Chou?

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” history, Guan Yunchang beheaded Yan Liang and punished Wen Ugly, and achieved a great reputation.

Now, he wants to hide in the province with Liu Beidong, and now he doesn't know where to go. But Cao Peng forgot that although Guan Yu was not in Cao Ying, there was also an evil man who was more fierce than Guan Yu in Cao Ying.

On the tenth day of the first month, Yuan Shao supervised the army to cross the river, with Zhang He Gaolan as the general, and stationed in Yanjin.

Previously, Xu You, Wen Chou and Cao Jun had fought several times, each with its own victory or defeat. In the first few days, Wen Chou beheaded the four generals of the Cao Battalion, and he was arrogant.

However, after Cao Ying's overseer army arrived in Kuangcheng, he replaced Xiahou Yuan with Lejin and ordered Wei Xu Chu to fight.

Wen Chou was beaten by Dian Wei and fled, so he became cautious...... After Yuan Shao settled in Yanjin, the war between the two sides suddenly became stalemate. Cao Ying and Yuan Shao fought two fierce battles in succession, but the results were evenly matched.

On the surface, Cao Ying seems to have taken advantage.

But in reality?

Cao Ying's losses were quite heavy.

Yuan Shao had the advantage of troops, which made Cao Ying feel a lot of pressure.

But he has no other way, the layout of Guandu has not yet been completed, and he must continue to drag Yuan Shao in Yanjin and continue to entangle with him.

But the question is, how long will it last?
