Chapter 695: Dawn Assassination
readx;
It's been a year and a half since the night of Nagasaka Slope in the blink of an eye. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Zhao Yun went to Longqi City for a year. However, judging from the appearance, the wind in Longqi City did not have any impact on him. Still strong, still windy, not a little old.
"How is Zilong doing?"
In the Governor's Mansion of Longqi City, Cao Peng sat down and asked with concern.
Zhao Yun hurriedly sat up straight and replied respectfully: "Son Qiqi, Yun is very good in Longqi. ”
"That's good, that's good...... Cao Peng looked at Zhao Yun with concern in his eyes.
"On the way here, I heard that you fought a few good battles?"
"Ah Lai's prestige, there is a small victory, and it should not be" beautiful, two words. ”
"What does it have to do with me?" Cao Peng couldn't help laughing, "Those Qiang, they can't wait for me to die, who cares about my reputation." Zilong is brave, the first in every war, killing countless enemies, and is a model in our army.
When I came to Longqi City, Wang Duwei once said to me that Zilong you are the most suitable person to take over Longqi City.
As you know, Wang Duwei was seriously injured this time.
I wanted him to cultivate in Didao... After a while, he returned to Xudu with his wife and children. But he can't even go to Di Dao, and it is estimated that he will have to recuperate in Lintao for two to three months before he can barely ...............move.
If Wang Duwei returns to Xu Du this time, it is estimated that he will be appointed another one soon.
You also know that he has been in Longqi City for nearly five years, and his wife and children have not even been to Xudu. I couldn't even attend his marriage, and I felt very guilty. He was seriously injured this time, so he took the opportunity to recuperate. It's just that as soon as he leaves, the post of lieutenant of the western capital will be vacant. Wang Duwei recommended you, and as far as I am concerned, I am quite appreciative. But you still have a lack of merit now, and you still need to work hard if you want to officially take over. ”
The implication is to tell Zhao Yun that I am going to let you be the lieutenant of the western region.
However, your merit is not enough, you have to make more merit.
The rank of the lieutenant in the western region is not low, and he is a special military post with heavy responsibilities. In this northwest, there are a total of southern governors and western governors, which are divided into two counties, Longxi and Lintao. If you are in terms of rank alone, it is not inferior to a position of the lower county too guard. In other words, the existence of the Taishou is second only to the Taishou in Jincheng......
It is under the rule of Jincheng Taishou, but it is not under the jurisdiction of Jincheng Taishou.
Its duty is to supervise the river and govern the Qiang: the southern governor, which is the same as the western governor, is the one who specializes in the Qiang-Hu movement in the Huangzhong. In a word. This was an extremely important position, especially in the northwest of Dazhi, when the Hexi trade route was prosperous, the western governor and the southern governor, as well as the function of maintaining the security of the trade route and maintaining the Hu-Han trade. Therefore, if you judge the scope of governance, it is better than Jincheng County Taishou.
Zhao Yun was stunned, and then he was overjoyed.
"Yun will die and live up to the high hopes of the son." But I didn't know that Cao Peng's gaze seemed very complicated.
After a while, he said in a deep voice, "Zilong, I will stay here for a few days and stay in Mucheng Valley temporarily. ”
"Huh?"
Zhao Yun hurriedly said: "The son is coming to Longqi City soon, why not stay in Longqi City?" ”
Cao Peng smiled slightly, "It's okay, I'm stationed in Mucheng Valley, and there is another reason." Zilong didn't need to bother, and first straightened out the soldiers and horses to stabilize the morale of the army. In a few days, there will be a big war coming, and when the time comes, Wangzilong will be able to take the lead and establish his military exploits. I will watch the majesty of Zilong and ask for credit for you. ”
"Zhao Yun, obey."
Zhao Yun has a benefit, he asks when he should ask, and when he shouldn't, he will never ask more.
After lunch, Cao Peng, under the leadership of Zhao Yun, inspected the situation in Longqi City. This is small
The border city is quite prosperous. It is a military town with a population of about 30,000 people. However, there are countless Qiang and Han merchants who come and go every day, which also makes the border city very lively. The Hu merchants of the Western Regions, the Qiang tribe, and the merchants of Guanzhong almost all gathered here to trade. Hehuang is rich in horses, cattle, sheep, furs and other materials, and is most popular with merchants in Guanzhong. The tea, salt, wine, silk and other luxury goods trafficked from the Central Plains were the favorites of the Qiang, including the Hu merchants of the Western Regions. According to statistics, in the Longqi City Market, the daily trading volume reaches 10,000 yuan. With Cao Cao's vigorous promotion of the circulation of Jian'an heavy treasures, a silver building was also set up in Longqi City, which has been guaranteed and convenient for trade, and is very popular with merchants in Longqi City.
Cao Peng inspected the Yinlou in Longqicheng and inquired about the operation of the Yinlou.
Then, accompanied by Pang Tong and Du Shu, he entered the bazaar with Long Qichang to check the situation.
"This horse, but the supply is open?"
"Back to the general, there is a special horse market for horses, and transactions must also be reported and verified by the government... In contrast, the cattle, sheep and livestock of Hehuang are completely open. Last year, there were nearly 80,000 cattle and sheep entering Guanzhong from Hehuang, but this spring the war began, and the business was much colder than last year. ”
"Horses can be opened, and war horses need to be monitored.
Every war horse that flows into the Central Plains from Longqi City needs to be registered, and it is best to open a special horse market to strengthen management. ”
War horses are an important material in this era.
Hehuang is also an important area for horse production, so you must be careful.
Long Qi hurriedly responded and made someone record it.
After inspecting the bazaar, it will be late.
Cao Peng refused Zhao Yun's invitation, led his troops to leave Longqi City, and set up camp in Mucheng Valley, thirty miles away from the city, "Shiyuan, is this really the case?" ”
Pang Tong bit his mouth and said with a wry smile: "If I want to suspect General Zilong, his wife is too mysterious." When Childe was inspecting Longqi City today, I inquired with the little poisonous snake.
That Zhao Jia is not in Longqi City.
It is said that this Zhao lady is good at hunting, and often takes some of her subordinates to hunt outside, sometimes for more than ten days. General Zilong loves this lady very much and never asks about it.
But every time Zhao Niangzi hunts, the river thief will inevitably appear......
In the eyes of others, it may be just a coincidence. But both I and the little viper felt that there was something strange about it. ”
"I don't live up to Zilong, and Zilong doesn't live up to me."
Cao Peng was wandering in the big tent, and he could see that he was a little anxious.
Originally, he didn't care about Zhao Niangzi's affairs. After all, Zhao Yun's wife, why should he care too much?
But the problem is that Pang Tong and Jia Xing both think that Zhao Niangzi is quite suspicious.
The most suspicious thing is that Zhao Niangzi often leaves Longqi City, which is not an ordinary woman's doing.
And every time Zhao Niangzi leaves, there will be horse thieves haunting the river.
Zhao Yun also asked Zhao Niangzi, and she said that she was looking for her clan and wanted to reunite the separated clansmen. This sounds reasonable at first glance, but when you think about it, it is a little abnormal. There are all kinds of indications that Wang Mai was ambushed because someone leaked the news, so that he almost died in Hehuang......
Did Zhao Yun do it on purpose?
Cao Peng categorically disbelieved it......
How could a person who could bear the burden of humiliation and surrender on his knees for the sake of his own lord and father-in-law?
Zhao Yun?
A mouthful of spit and a nail master!
Since he belongs to Cao Peng, it is impossible for him to do anything to be sorry for Cao Peng.
But then again, do you really know Zhao Yun?
Cao Peng's understanding of Zhao Yun is mostly derived from the legends of later generations. But what the real Zhao Yun looks like, Cao Peng is not clear.
He is willing to believe Zhao Yun, but it does not mean that Pang Tong and the others will believe Zhao Yun.
"Then you say, what should I do?"
"This ......"
Pang Tong pondered for a moment and stepped forward, and whispered in Cao Peng's ear: "Childe, true or false, loyal or jiān, you will know if you try." You should come, you can't hide from it, I also know that Gongzi, you have a very high regard for General Zilong. But if you can try to find out the truth and falsehood, wouldn't it be better for Childe? ”
"How do you try?"
Pang Tong whispered in Cao Peng's ear for a while, causing Cao Peng to take it lightly.
After a while, he took a deep breath and made up his mind, "Since that's the case, give it a try."
It's up to you to take care of this matter, let the little poisonous snake stare at Longqi City, and pay more attention to the movements in the city. ”
"Don't worry, Childe, Pang Tong understands!"
h ten pieces of h, h ten pieces of h, h ten pieces of bait, ten pieces of ten cao peng took over the captain, and wei jing was transferred to the evil city.
When Jia Xu arrived in Chang'an, Wei Wei officially left Guanzhong. However, Cao Peng appeared in Longxi, which made people quite suspicious.
Cao Peng was the captain of the school and stayed in Chang'an.
Jia Xu is a pastor of Liangzhou, and he should go to Longxi to take up his post......
However, these two people were replaced, and those who should have stayed in Chang'an went to Liangzhou: those who should have gone to Liangzhou stayed in Chang'an.
But it was such a change that made the northwest calm down suddenly.
Jia Xu's prestige in the northwest is definitely not as high as Cao Peng's. Even if he is a person from Liangzhou, he can't compare to the majesty of Cao Peng. Moreover, in the face of the complex and chaotic situation, Jia Xu is not suitable to go to Liangzhou. In military affairs, he can give advice, but he can't command those arrogant generals.
In the final analysis, Jia Xu is a strategist.
But Cao Peng is a real fight, and he has a prestige.
Therefore, sitting in Chang'an, Jia Xu is the most suitable: and to fight in Liangzhou, there is no doubt that Cao Peng is the best candidate.
In June of the fourteenth year of Jian'an, it was very hot in Liangzhou.
However, the war in the state has changed. After Deng Ji occupied Shangdang County, he did not move.
Li Dian marched under the Great Wall and made a posture of going out at any time.
In Gao Gan and Liu Mao gathered troops and horses to prepare to resist the attack of Cao's army, Cao Cao issued an edict ordering Cao Zhang to be the general of the Xiongnu and lead his troops to attack. Cao Zhang immediately gathered troops and horses, and even recruited 20,000 Karasuma Raiders from Lou Fu, and Liu Mao obviously did not expect that Cao Cao would use a young man who was only nineteen years old as the main general. He focused all his energy on Deng Ji, Yang Ya, and Li Dian, so did he expect Cao Zhang to be the main force? Caught off guard, Liu Bao hurriedly responded.
The 30,000-strong army of the Xiongnu assembled on the west bank of the river.
When Cao's army arrived, Liu Bao ordered the boats to be burned, trying to use the river to stop Cao's attack.
How do you know that Cao Zhang has been prepared.
The soldiers were on the east bank of the river, and Cao Zhang attacked overnight.
30,000 sheepskin rafts that had been prepared long ago carried Cao Jun to forcibly cross the river.
It's summer, and the river doesn't seem to be very fast. Rao was like this, Cao's army suffered thousands of casualties and heavy losses. However, as a result of such a tragic loss, Cao's army forcibly crossed the Yellow River and conquered Shanan.
Immediately, Cao Peng ordered Niu Gang and Dian Cun to garrison Shanan, and spent five days directing soldiers and horses to pass through the river.
By the time Liu Bao realized it was too late.
He immediately dispatched troops and horses to recapture Shanan.
A bloody battle, followed by the Battle of Shanan, which was also the most tragic battle in the entire Battle of Bingzhou. The Huns attacked frantically, while Niu Gang and Dian Cun responded calmly and resisted the Hun army.
Five days later, Karasuma successfully crossed the river and attacked from both flanks under the command of Cao Zhang.
The 30,000-strong army of the Huns was almost completely annihilated.
Liu Bao fled back to Meiji and regrouped his troops and horses.
However, the loss of Shanan also made the Yellow River, which the Southern Xiongnu regarded as a natural entrenchment, no longer exist.
Cao's army continued to enter the Southern Xiongnu from Shanan.
At the same time, Shangdang Deng Ji moved again, still with Huang Zhong as the vanguard, crossing the Great Wall to capture Baitu County and approaching pacification.
Pingding, from Guluo City, is only eighty miles away.
Xiahoulan led his troops to conquer the Shuofang Dacheng Fortress, opening a huge gap in the Hetao area.
Qubei led the Southern Xiongnu from Dacheng to enter the Hetao, causing Liu Mao to be attacked on three sides.
Gao Gansi sent people to Cao Cao to surrender. But he didn't want to leak the news, so Liu Bao led his troops to sneak attack. The two sides had infighting in Guluo City, and Gao Gan was dismembered by the Hun soldiers and died tragically in Guluo City.
When Cao Cao heard the news of Gao Gan's death, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and sway, "The original bloodline has been cut off from this beginning!" ”
Immediately, Cao Cao ordered that the army of Concubine Lu must march together before August to end the battle of Bingzhou.
And at this time, the resistance of the state was almost non-existent. The Southern Xiongnu themselves fell into chaos, and Liu Mao was also seriously injured when he was in the fire and Gao Gan. In the face of Cao Jun's attack, there was also a step by step to go to humility. Liu Bao had no choice but to make the same choice as Gao Gan and beg for surrender!
In the past, this was the only magic weapon for the survival of the Southern Xiongnu.
If you lose, please surrender, and if you win, you will attack the city and plunder the land. Anyway, this Shuofang has always been the territory of the Southern Xiongnu.
Only this time, Liu's had the wrong idea.
Cao Cao showed unprecedented toughness.
In his letter to Cao Zhang, Deng Ji, and Li Dian, he used the ballad "Lose my Yanzhi Mountain, so that my six animals do not rest, lose my Yanzhi Mountain, and make my Fu girl shameless, this ballad."
Hugh has compassion for this, and the xing of the Hun jackal cannot be tolerated.
In the past, Huo Yanqi failed to complete his work, and today he will not repeat the mistakes of the past. Command the three armies, attack non-stop, but anyone who resists, men, women, and children, regardless of today's mercy, will be a disaster for the rest of the day!
This letter is a secret letter.
Only Deng Ji, Cao Zhang, and Li Dian received it.
It means: kill me clean......
Historically! There was a Ran reading to kill Hu Ling, which was praised by later generations. But in fact, Cao Cao's letter is not inferior to the power of killing Hu Ling. With the secret order issued, Deng Ji took the lead in responding......
In the pacification of the city, rivers of blood flowed.
60,000 Huns were slaughtered by Deng Ji.
Even when Li Dian crossed the river and arrived in Pingding, he was washed away by the thick smell of blood, and he couldn't help but want to vomit.
Deng Ji, who was fluttering in white and standing with one arm, was a little scary in Li Dian's opinion.
Before, there was a king of Cao Yan who went on a killing spree in Xudu, and after looking at more than 2,000 heads, his face did not change, and his heart did not beat.
Li Dian felt that Cao Peng was ruthless at that time.
But if compared with Deng Ji in front of him, Cao Peng is ruthless, then what is Deng Ji? No wonder before I went to war, Cheng Zhongde sent someone to tell me not to offend Deng Ji. This guy is missing an arm, but he is more vicious than Nacao Yama. This guy is clearly a murderer!
Originally, Li Dian was a little unconvinced that Deng Ji took the lead in capturing Pingding.
But now, after seeing the city of Pingding, which was stained red with blood, the discomfort in Li Dian's heart suddenly disappeared.
Forget it, it's just a little thing, why bother to take it to heart?
Anyway, Cao Youxue's family is not a normal person,
After Deng Ji sacrificed the butcher's knife in Pingding, Xiahoulan stopped in the big city and immediately sacrificed the butcher's knife. In just a few days, twelve Xiongnu tribes were wiped out one after another, and nearly 30,000 people were killed. Otherwise, I don't know how many heads will fall to the ground in this killing.
After Deng Ji Xiahoulan made a move, Li Dian immediately killed 50,000 Huns in Guluo City.
Within ten days, the population of the Huns in Shuofang fell sharply by one-third. Many Huns fled to Xianbei and asked for Xianbei's refuge. And to humble this situation, where can we not know Cao Cao's true intentions?
At the end of June, he sent an envoy to Beibei, imploring Cao Cao to naturalize the Southern Xiongnu.
All the naturalized Xiongnu in Shuofang moved to the interior, such as Jizhou, Qingzhou and other regions: those who did not accept naturalization had nothing to do with deinferiority.
In July of the fourteenth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao accepted the request to be humiliated.
Immediately, Cao Zhang ordered, the three armies moved together, and the final attack on Wudu to the end of the leopard is coming!
H ten pieces ten h ten pieces of bait pieces ten states and the war is rekindled, and the northwest is quiet, silent.
Maybe it was because Cao Jun fought too hard that Ma Chao felt inexplicable fear and didn't dare to act rashly.
At this time, Cao Peng suddenly secretly ordered Zhao Yun to send troops from Longqi City to attack the salt pond of the West Sea.
The salt pond of the West Sea is where Poqiang is located.
Faced with the sudden order, Zhao Yun was also very suspicious.
Could it be that Cao Peng wants to cut off the arm of Dou Mao, the king of Di, first, and then destroy the Di people?
It's possible to think about it, so Zhao Yun didn't react too much. Saying goodbye to his wife, Zhao Yun set off overnight.
The defense of Longqi City was temporarily taken over by Longqi Chang.
In fact, there was no need for Long Qi Chang to take over, Cao Peng was in Mucheng Valley, thirty miles east of Long Qi City. If something really happens, Cao Peng will accept the military affairs of Longqi City as soon as possible.
Long Qi is long, without any pressure!
On the third day after Zhao Yun left Longqi City, Cao Peng suddenly received a message from Longqi Chang: there were bandits outside Longqi City, and Cao Peng was asked to go to Longqi City to discuss and decide whether to send troops to exterminate them.
Cao Peng immediately replied to the Dragon Elder that he would take over the military affairs of Long Qi City.
That night, Cao Peng took Sun Shao and Wang Shuang to Zilong Qicheng.
At this time, the sudden appearance of a tense atmosphere of bandits in the city made the people who lived in Longqi City and those who did business in Longqi City feel a trace of inexplicable depression. In the city, it is heavily guarded!
"Have you ever found out who the bandit is?"
Long Qichang replied: "But I don't know yet, but looking at its movements, it looks like a horse and a bandit." ”
"Ma Rufeng, are you here?"
Cao Peng narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Pass on my military order, Longqi City will immediately close the city gates, and the whole city will be curfew."
Tomorrow, I will lead my troops to find Ma Rufeng's traces and eliminate him in one fell swoop.
Just a few horse bandits, they dare to invade my city, I really don't know whether they are alive or dead, but I want to see what kind of skills this robber Ma Rufeng has. ”
Cao Peng's words were understated, with a disdain for the horse like the wind.
When Long Qi heard this, he was relieved.
He withdrew from the official post and let out a sigh of relief.
I have to say that the horse thief who is like the wind has brought a lot of harm to Longqi City. First plundered merchants, and then went so far as to ambush the western lieutenant. Although the horse thief has not yet appeared, it makes people feel extremely depressed. I hope that General Cao can defeat one of them and return Longqi City to peace.
"Front, but Lord Tang?"
Long Qi's name was Tang Fang, and when he heard someone calling his name, he quickly stopped and turned to look.
"Ah, it's Mrs. Zhao."
A beautiful man in his early twenties, with a beautiful face but extremely simple clothes, was coming towards him.
Tang Fang hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "Why is Mrs. Zhao here?" ”
"The husband went on the expedition, and the concubine had some worries in her heart.
I also heard that there were horse thieves outside Longqi City, so I couldn't help but be depressed, so I went out for a walk. ”
This Zhao Niangzi was born very beautifully, but with extremely obvious traces of the Qiang people.
When she speaks, she also has a unique Qiang accent, all of which show her Qiang identity.
When Tang Fang heard this, he was immediately relieved, "It's just a few horse thieves, jumping clown ears!" Madam don't have to worry, these horse thieves will be exterminated sooner or later, the weather in Longqi City this year is hotter than in previous years. It's good to go out for a walk, breathe, so as not to be upset alone at home, ting good, ting good! ”
"Lord Tang, where did this come from?"
"Oh, I just met General Cao in the official post."
"General Cao?" Zhao Niangzi let out a touch of curiosity, "But that is the general Cao Peng Cao of Liangzhou." ”
Tang Fang laughed, "This Dragon Qi City, but now besides him, who dares to call himself a general?" ”
"Isn't he in the Kijo Valley?" Well, this is not a horse thief, so naturally the general must be informed.
The general came to eliminate the horse thief, and General Cao will lead the troops to the expedition tomorrow, and he will stay in the city tonight. ”
"I see!"
On Zhao Niangzi's face, there was a hint of worry.
"But there are horse thieves outside, and I'm afraid that the city will not be peaceful, so you have to be more careful."
When Tang Fang heard this, he scratched his head and smiled: "I also persuaded him to do so, but General Cao said that he didn't know that he didn't know that General Cao was also a skilled general, and ordinary people were not opponents at all."
Besides, he still has two relatives with him, where do I need to protect him? Madame, just rest assured...
"That's good, that's good!"
Zhao Niangzi patted Xiong's mouth lightly and said goodbye to Tang Fang.
Looking at the graceful back of Zhao Niangzi leaving, Tang Fang shook his head and said to himself: "I don't know what is so good about Zhao Zilong, not to mention being valued by General Cao, even going out to inspect can pick up such a beautiful lady, it is really enviable." ”
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the county office.
