It's only September, and Mobei has revealed a harsh winter. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The withered yellow grass withered, and there was no longer the scene of the wind blowing the grass and seeing the cattle and sheep, but it was replaced by an inexplicable killing atmosphere.

Surrendered city, Cao army camp.

Cao Zhang carefully added two pieces of charcoal to the brazier to maintain the temperature in the hall.

In the center of the lobby, Cao Cao wore a thick brocade robe, reading a letter with a spring breeze on his face, and laughed from time to time. Guo Jia, Xun You, and Dong Zhao sat aside, and opposite them were Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Li Dian and other generals. Seeing that Cao Cao was in a good mood, everyone's mood suddenly relaxed.

This time, Cao Cao personally led his troops and horses to supervise the battle and surrender the city, just to break his wrists with Kebi.

Originally, everyone did not approve of him leading his troops to the expedition. The main reason is that the northwest is undecided, and Cao Cao's body, although he has recovered since returning from Jingzhou, is obviously much weaker than before.

The northern Xinjiang is bitterly cold, and it is not a good thing to get caught again and again.

But Cao Cao insisted on going his own way, and he had to go on the expedition!

In his heart, there is always a dream that he can expand the territory and drink the blood of the Huns with a smile like his ancestors. More distantly, Meng Tian expanded his territory and laid down Henan land for Daqin; And the guard Qing Huo went to the disease to establish meritorious deeds, and Huo Qubing killed the Huns even more frightened. Chen Tang's 'those who offend me and strengthen the Han will be punished even if they are far away', Dou Xian swept through Mobei, making the Xiongnu dare not face up to the Central Plains...... The great achievements of the ancestors were once the things that Cao Cao longed for the most when he was a child. It's a pity that when the generation of male lords born in Xianbei for a hundred years, Tanshi Huai, dominated Mobei, Cao Cao was too young to face it in person.

Now, the sandalwood is dead, and there is another Kebineng.

Maybe compared to the sandalwood locust, this can be inferior. But in Cao Cao's view, he is also a good opponent.

In any case, he could not pass up this opportunity.

"The northwest has its own Xinwu Township, why bother to work alone?"

Cao Cao disdained the 'undecided northwest' that everyone said, and didn't seem to take it to heart at all.

I've put my best candidates in the Northwest!

If Ah Fu can't handle those Qiang, how will he entrust him with big things in the future?

Therefore, since Cao Peng married the northwest, Cao Cao has not paid attention to the things over there. All his energy was concentrated in the northern frontier. As the weather turns colder, the middle of winter is approaching. The season of Xianbei threshing grass will also come, and Cao Cao is determined to teach Xianbei a good lesson and Kebineng at this time.

Even if he can't eliminate Kebineng, he has to try to push the direction north for thousands of miles.

For this reason, from the beginning of autumn, Cao Cao was in full swing and began to handle this matter...... The stakes are very high in this battle. If you fight well, the Central Plains will no longer need to worry about the Xianbei disaster in the north in the next 50 years.

It's just that he never expected that the war in northern Xinjiang had not yet begun, and the great victory in the northwest had already come.

"Ah Fu, it's really a good means."

Cao Cao put the letter down and smiled.

"Hanzhong, it's decided!"

"Huh?"

Dong Zhao was taken aback, "When will Hanzhong be pacified?" ”

"At the beginning of the Battle of Hehuang, Ah Fu had secretly ordered Yuande, led his troops into the Meridian Road, crossed thousands of miles of wilderness, and quietly arrived in Nanzheng. Then they bribed Yang Song, captured Nanzheng, and captured Zhang Lu. After Yuande, he set up an ambush in the middle of the way, defeated Zhang Lu's general Yanpu, and occupied Chuyang. Although Yangping Guan Zhang Wei has not surrendered yet, it is no longer a climate, and it won't be long before Ah Fu will send good news. ”

After that, Dong Zhao looked at Dian Wei with a smile, "Junming, congratulations!" ”

Dian Wei was also so excited that he even forgot to return the salute, only grinning and smiling.

What is there in this world that can make people happier than having a good child? Dian Wei has always been worried that Dian Man will not be able to take on this family in the future. But now it seems that within a hundred years, there is no need to worry about it!

It was Xu Chu who was quite unhappy.

"Afute is not fair."

"Zhongkang, why do you say this?"

"Yuande is his brother, and my tiger is not his brother?

Why only take care of Yuande, but not my tiger? is also his third brother, so he can't help but favor one over the other. ”

It turned out that Xu Chu was jealous.

Over the years, the battle between him and Dian Wei has not been as fierce as in the early years.

Everyone is old and in a high position, so there is no need to worry about it. Besides, the two children are sworn brothers, and the old man is not easy to fight too much. Dian Wei is not a very good person to compete for power. After the disbandment of the Tiger Army, he has been serving as Cao Cao's pro-army Ya Commander, although the official is very high, he does not have much power. On the contrary, it is Xu Chu, who controls the Tiger Guard, and is much more proud than Zhi Dian Wei.

But other than that, he never seemed to surpass Dian Wei.

Regarding Cao Cao's trust, Dian Wei and him have distanced themselves and formed a chasm......

On giving birth to a son, Dian Wei had four sons, and he only had one son. Fighting for the younger generations, Dian Man and Xu Yi are almost the same, but there is a Niu Gang, who has a very good relationship with Cao Zhang, and now he has also become a Zhonglang general.

One classic, two middle langs.

In comparison, the Xu family is much weaker.

Now that he has won the credit of capturing Hanzhong, he will be rewarded in the future. Xu Chu felt uncomfortable in his heart.

"You tiger idiot, how can you speak?

My Yuande is the second brother of Afu, and the little tiger in your family is just the Yuande brother. Ah Fu naturally takes care of the second brother first, and then takes care of your little tiger. In my opinion, what Ah Fu did was very reasonable, fair, very fair! ”

Hearing Xu Chu's complaints, Dian Wei immediately disagreed.

The two are also used to arguing, and they immediately argue with each other.

Li Dian turned his head directly and deliberately ignored it. And Guo Jia and Xun You talked in a low voice, and Dong Zhao was there, closing his eyes and resting. Cao Zhang, as a junior, is naturally not good at saying anything. It's just that when I saw that the two of them were arguing, they also smiled bitterly.

"Alright, don't argue!"

Cao Cao slapped the table and said angrily: "See what kind of system you two have become?" There is great things being discussed here, but you ......

If there is any more argument, get out of here. ”

Cao Cao was furious, and Dian Wei and Xu Chu immediately closed their mouths.

Only then did Guo Jia speak: "King, since Hanzhong is calm, I don't know what to do next?" ”

Cao Cao closed his eyes and groaned silently.

After a while, he replied: "Since the eleventh year of Jian'an, we have been fighting year after year.

Although Henan and Hebei have had bumper harvests and the treasury has been full in recent years, they can't help but consume so much...... In the coming year, it will inevitably cost a lot of money. In this case, if you attack Xichuan immediately, you may be injured.

Sun Zhongmou ruled Jiankang this summer, and his ambition was obvious, so he had to guard against it.

I thought that we should focus on 'governance', and within two years, we should minimize the fighting, restore our vitality, and accumulate strength. Youxue has already given up the post of Hanyang Taishou, thinking that he wants to increase the development of the northwest of the Western Regions. In this case, Jia Xing pretended to be too shou of Hanyang, and was too shou of Wudu, and Diannong Zhonglang took over the charge of Hanyang and served as the post of Taishou of Hanyang, cooperating with Wenhe to preside over the overall situation.

In addition, friends learned in Hexi County, the first taste of the military system, the integration of soldiers and farmers, the integration of soldiers and herdsmen, the effect is remarkable.

Lone decided to implement government soldiers in Youzhou, Bingzhou, and Liangzhou at the same time.

Zhang Liao was appointed as the governor of Youzhou, his uncle and grandson were appointed as the governor of Liangzhou, and Wenhe was appointed as the governor of Liangzhou......

Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think? ”

Cao Cao's eyes burned and he looked around at everyone.

Guo Jia and the others have understood Cao Cao's intentions, and the king's intention is clearly to eliminate the Han brand in the army and brand the Cao family. It is conceivable that the implementation of government soldiers in the three states will have an impact? The Han military system has been established for nearly 400 years since Gaozu was established. Now, the 400-year-old stigma has been erased in one fell swoop...... Cao Cao's ambitions were also exposed, and it was not far off to replace the Han family.

"The law of the government soldiers is indeed timely.

The minister agreed, and the three states implemented the government soldiers...... However, how to implement it, it is best to discuss it with Youxue. After all, this is the idea he proposed, and in Hexi County, it has been promoted for six years and accumulated countless experience.

It would be better to set up a special department, with Ah Fu in charge, to raise this matter.

The government soldiers are suitable for the border fortress, and Liangzhou has experience in Hexi. Xu Shu and Meng Jian were both participants in the early implementation of the government soldiers, and they could give Wen He great help. Therefore, the center of gravity of the soldiers of this prefecture should be in Bingzhou and Youzhou.

The minister thought that the opening of the Che Cavalry General's Mansion in Zhuo County, and Ling Youxue was specifically responsible for this matter, would be able to accelerate the implementation.

Uncle and grandson, Wenyuan has a close relationship with Youxue.

If you change someone, you may not be able to meddle in military affairs, but only friendship and learning will not make the two of them resentful......"

When Cao Cao proposed to set up a special division to be responsible for the implementation of the government soldiers, Cao Cao immediately thought of Cao Peng.

However, he didn't expect that Guo Jia would let Cao Peng open a mansion in Zhuo County.

The general of the rook?

The status is a bit high...... But it's not a big deal. Cao Peng pacified the northwest, and the credit was placed there, even if someone objected, it was enough to convince. He was originally a former general, and above that was General Wei, a general of the chariot and cavalry. General Wei protects the imperial capital, and Cao Cao doesn't want Cao Peng to get involved again.

But the general of the chariot rider......

Wouldn't moving the general out of Xudu reduce his authority?

Besides, it seems a little strange to open a mansion in Zhuo County. Guo Jia's words are true, but if you think about it carefully, it has deep meaning.

Cao Cao pondered for a long time, and suddenly raised his head.

"Accurate!"

Guo Jia secretly breathed a sigh of relief, stopped talking, and closed his eyes to recuperate.

"Ah Fu, in order to get you out of the whirlpool, I have put a lot of effort into it, you have to add at least five percent of my shares to me, otherwise next time, I won't help you anymore."

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

In October of the fourteenth year of Jian'an, midwinter has arrived.

Chang'an Xiaoxue, Fang Qing.

Since Cao Peng arrived in Chang'an, he has been busy.

Although Wei Congyang Fan's rebellion has long since subsided, the aftermath still exists. After the siege of the rebels, there was also a bit of chaos in Chang'an. Cao Peng, as the lieutenant of the department, supervised the officials of the department, assisted Jingzhao Yin Cao Hong, and stabilized the situation in Chang'an.

Fortunately, with the help of Pang Tong and Shi Tao, he was relieved of his huge pressure.

Pang Tong is proficient in the law, has been in Hexi for six years, and knows Guanzhong well; Shi Tao has served as the Taishou of the two counties, and even served in Liangzhou, and he is also very aware of the current situation in Guanzhong. But even so, Cao Peng still felt big. There are constant trivial matters every day, and just checking the affairs of the Wei and Yang families gives him a headache.

Wei's and Yang's have been based in Guanzhong for a hundred years.

and Guanzhong Haoqiang, there is an inextricable relationship.

From the two residences, they found letters that they exchanged with each powerful family.

According to Cao Hong's meaning, it is to investigate to the end and completely uproot the unstable factors in Guanzhong.

However, he was stopped by Cao Peng.

"Uncle Zilian, you can't check it anymore!"

In the Jingzhao County of Chang'an, Cao Peng shook his head with a wry smile.

"Why?"

"Pull out the radish and connect it to the mud, this thing can't be identified...... If you really want to investigate, not only Guanzhong, but also Hedong, Heluo, and Hanoi will be involved. The Wei family and the Yang family, after all, are a century-old hero, how can they not have contact with other clans? If it is said that there is only a little connection to be traced, I am afraid that it will make the world frightened. If you don't get it right, not only will it not be able to investigate thoroughly, but it will also lead to chaos. ”

"Are you just letting them go?"

"How else?"

Cao Peng said: "If you investigate, the more you investigate, the more troublesome it will be...... I believe that as long as we stay strong, those families will naturally know what to do. As for those fish that slipped through the net, without the support of the Webster and Yang families, it would be difficult to become a climate. Those powerful families also know how to choose, and they will not cause trouble.

In the current situation, more is better than less.

The key is to solve the negative impact of the Weishi Yang family as soon as possible, stabilize the situation in Guanzhong, vigorously develop the northwest, and keep the trade routes of the Western Regions unimpeded. Life is good, who wants to run out and cause trouble? ”

Cao Hong is greedy for money and has a somewhat violent temperament.

But that doesn't mean he's stupid, on the contrary, he's smart......

The habit of greedy for money, with the cooperation between him and Cao Peng, and today's money, those small money are nothing at all.

He quickly understood what Cao Peng meant, and although he was unwilling, he finally nodded and agreed......

Seeing that Cao Hong was no longer fooling around, Cao Peng finally put his mind at ease.

The affairs of Captain Sili were handed over to Pang Tong and Shi Tao, and he devoted all his energy to Hanzhong. Or rather, it was the exchange between him and Zhang Lu. Although Zhang Lu was attached, he had not yet decided to leave Hanzhong immediately. Especially Zhang Wei was in Yangping Pass, and Yang Ang was still blocking Cao Jun's pace. Fortunately, after Fa Zheng occupied Nanzheng, he immediately set up an ambush for Dianman.

Yanpu, the Taishou of Weiyang, got the news and returned to the army to rescue. I didn't want to be in the middle of the way, I was ambushed by Cao's army, and 10,000 Hanzhong troops were defeated and fled.

Dian Man took the lead, led his troops into the Chinese army, and captured Yan Pu alive. When the defenders of Weiyang learned the news, they immediately surrendered the city.

Zhang Lu issued an order in Nanzheng to make everyone give up resistance.

The counties responded one after another, but only Zhang Wei and Yang Ang stubbornly resisted. But the general trend has gone, and as Cao's army continues to enter Wudu County, nearly 60,000 soldiers and horses are eyeing each other. Hao Zhao, Zhang He, and Xu Yi are all good at fighting fierce generals, and they are also Xiahou Lan, who has experienced a hundred battles. It can be said that the Northwest Warriors are all concentrated in Wudu County, and Cao Peng is in Chang'an and may make a move at any time. The pressure on Zhang Wei and Yang Ang is really huge...... Not to mention, Zhang Lu has already surrendered, and if the two of them continue to resist stubbornly, their fate will be miserable.

In other words, the Yangping Pass is broken, but sooner or later!

Cao Peng learned from Fa Zheng's letter that he had inexplicably become the protector of the Five Doumi Sect.

Zhang Lu was very enthusiastic and discussed the development trend of the Wudou Rice Sect with him in letters.

After much thought, Cao Peng decided to discuss this religious issue with Zhang Lu.

Combined with the teachings of Buddhism, Catholicism and Christianity in later generations, he had a comprehensive discussion with Zhang Lu in the content of Taoism that he knew only half-understood.

“…… Today, the Futu rises, and the doctrine is bewitched, traveling all over the country.

And the Five Buckets of Rice Sect, sticking to Xichuan, is really not a good thing. The doctrine of Lu Gong originates from the art of Huang Lao and is the fundamental doctrine of my Central Plains. However, his reputation is not obvious, and it is difficult to convince the public. If it is not rectified, sooner or later it will be replaced by a floating slaughter.

The doctrine of the Buddha Buddha is to relive the life and ignore the present life.

For the sake of the ethereal afterlife, and ignoring the root of reality, it is a great trouble for my Central Plains. Although its intentions are good, it is not in line with the situation of our Middle Earth. Tianzhu, the country of barbarians, stupid and ignorant......

Lu Gongdang ascended and shouted, leading Huang Lao Gaoshi, and rejuvenating my roots.

First, the title of five buckets of rice is very vulgar and not enough to ascend to the hall of elegance. Yu Wen Huang Lao is fundamental, in the moral text. Why not replace it with 'the Tao'? I walk the road, can be known to the world! ”

Cao Peng believes that the name Wudou Mijiao is too cheesy, too limited, and not enough to reflect the original teachings. Therefore, these five buckets of rice cannot be compared with the Futu religion, that is, the Buddhism of later generations.

Taking the name of 'Taoism' and making people all over the world respect the avenue is the loudest name.

Immediately, Zhang Lu sent a letter, expressing his agreement with Cao Peng's meaning.

"All people in the world are good gods, and the Son of Heaven is commanded by heaven......

I have heard that in the land of the far west there is a god LORD, whom the world worships. However, things are different, Taoism starts from the Tao, and should obey the gods in order to make the people of the world believe. In ancient times, there was Pangu to open the sky, and Nuwa created people, and it was too high. Today, Lu Gongdang, respect Pangu, respect Nuwa, and serve Taishang, Fang is the foundation of the avenue. ”

Cao Peng's suggestion is quite similar to the unity of the Three Saints in the West in later generations.

Pangu is the Holy Father, Nuwa is the Holy Mother, and Taishang is the Holy Son. As for how to make it up, it's Zhang Lu's business. After he summoned a group of sub-gods, it would not be a problem to come.

Subsequently, Cao Peng again suggested that theocracy should serve the monarchy.

Only in this way can Taoism suppress Futu Sect and become the state religion of the Central Plains.

As for the specific operation, Cao Peng is not too clear, he can only put forward one suggestion for Zhang Lu's reference.

The two exchanged letters like this, and before they knew it, it was almost November.

In the northern Xinjiang, Cao Cao and Kebineng finally broke out a very tragic battle after repeated temptations.

The two sides mobilized more than 200,000 soldiers and horses to fight a decisive battle on the bank of the Xiongnu River and at the foot of Qilian Mountain.

The two sides fought a bloody battle for more than ten days, and finally Cao Cao defeated Kebineng with sufficient grain and grass and excellent equipment. After this battle, Kebineng's strength was greatly damaged, and the eastern Xianbei was once again split from Kebineng's subordinates, and the larger Xianbei Mountain became, fleeing to Fuyu State. Subsequently, Cao Cao appointed Zhang Liao as the governor of Youzhou, sat in Liaodong, and pursued Xianbei in the east...... And the western Xianbei, under the leadership of Suli, the son of Tanshi Huai, challenged Kebineng. Kebi can be in this situation, and he also knows that it will be difficult to achieve results if he continues to fight Cao Cao.

Therefore, Kebineng sent people to negotiate peace with Cao Cao, and proposed to use the Anhou River as the boundary river to divide and rule.

Cao Cao didn't want to continue to entangle, so after some negotiations with Kebineng, he finally reached a peace agreement.

With the Anhou River as the boundary river, the northern area is governed by Xianbei, and the south is the territory of Cao Wei.

Cao Wei and Xianbei are always brothers, Cao Wei is brothers, and Xianbei is brothers. Xianbei paid 30,000 head of cattle, 8,000 good horses, 1,500 carts of rare furs and so on to Cao Wei every year. From then on, Cao Wei and Xianbei will never go to war.

Because of this peace, it was signed in the Dragon City of the Xianbei King's Tent.

Therefore, it is called the Dragon City Alliance in the history books. However, from then on, Longcheng was no longer under the rule of Xianbei, but became the territory of Cao Wei. Cao Cao issued an edict to place the vast land of Caozhou from Daxianbei Mountain in the east, to the Xiongnu River in the west, to the surrendered city in the south, and to the Anhou River in the north. The meaning is that this state was defeated by my Cao Cao. Then, Cao Cao was in Caozhou, divided the six counties and named them one by one. Two of the counties are Chang County and Peng County. As for the meaning of this, although it is not clear, it is already obvious.

Cao Cao's love for Cao Peng can be said to have reached the extreme.

actually took Pengjun as the place of governance, which made countless people envious......

can be envied and envied, the glory that Cao Peng enjoys is really not something that ordinary people can get. Almost all the generals under Cao Wei's account knew that Cao Cao's biggest regret was that he hated Cao Peng for not being a parent, and often sighed.

A guy who is regarded by Cao Cao as his own child, and has outstanding military achievements, a resounding reputation, and a good way to make money, can only be envied, you can't be jealous...... If you want to be jealous, you can too! Go and be jealous of Cao Ji, who has such a good son.

The battle of the Xiongnu River also completely established Cao Cao's prestige.

Since Gaozu, although there have been many great victories, there has never been such a brilliant result.

Even those who don't like Cao Cao have to admit it. The Battle of the Xiongnu River was the most brilliant result since the Han Dynasty, and it was even far better than the record of Huo Qubing and Wei Qing attacking Hu for three thousand miles.

Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty, no matter how reluctant he was, had to give a reward and declare Caozhou under the rule of the Han Dynasty......

Xudu Daily reported on the glorious results of the Battle of the Xiongnu River.

For a time, Cao Cao was in the limelight.

Even Sun Quan in Jiangdong and Liu Zhang in Xichuan had to send people to congratulate and praise Cao Cao's great achievements.

Under this kind of public opinion, Cao Peng went on a killing spree in Hehuang, which did not attract much attention.

At the end of November of the 14th year of Jian'an, Cao Cao ordered the class to return to the capital.

Liang Xi, the governor of Haixi, was appointed as the assassin of Caozhou, and at the same time issued an edict to transfer the former fake military capital to guard Xiahoulan, and served as the governor of Caozhou, stationed in Zhangjun, that is, the earlier surrendered city, and began to implement the construction of government soldiers.

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

"Why did the king make me pay me back?"

In Chang'an City, Cao Peng glared at Cao Hong and asked suspiciously.

Cao Hong scratched his head and said with a wry smile: "How do I know? I think the king must give you a reward, so I let you go to Yecheng to meet you. Isn't this coming to an end soon? I will return with you. ”

Cao Peng took the edict and left the county party in a daze.

Back in the house, he recruited Pang Tong and Fa Zheng.

At the beginning of November, Zhang Wei was finally unable to resist under the ferocious attack of Cao's army and sacrificed Yangping Pass.

As a result, Hanzhong County was completely broken, and Cao's army successfully captured Hanzhong.

Cao Cao immediately ordered Shi Tao to serve as the Taishou of Hanzhong County, and made the two of them to settle down in Micang Mountain and Chuyang, and set out to stabilize the situation. Subsequently, Zhang Lu was summoned to Yecheng to meet him, pay homage to the county marquis, and no longer return to Hanzhong. At this time, Zhang Lu had already devoted his mind to the religious cause, and after receiving the edict, he left Hanzhong without saying a word. When passing through Chang'an, Zhang Lu also made a special trip to visit Cao Peng and had a discussion with Cao Peng. When he went to Yecheng, he was ready to make every effort to develop Taoism after reporting to Cao Cao. Moreover, Zhang Lu has sent someone to find the help of this high-ranking hermit.

After Fa Zheng Shi Tao took over Hanzhong, he returned to Chang'an.

When Pang Tong learned of the content of Cao Cao's edict, the two looked at each other and smiled, and said in unison: "Congratulations to the son, congratulations to the son!" ”
