Hedong Weishi has close business dealings with Cao Peng. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

However, Wei Qi and Cao Peng have never met. Speaking of which, when Cao Peng was in Hexi, Wei Qi went to work. Many years have passed, and Guanzhong Dazhi has an inseparable relationship with Wei Qi. It was precisely because of the existence of Wei Qi that the Guan Sergeant clan accepted Cao Cao's existence without much resistance. [bsp; "This time I came secretly to calm the Qiang Rebellion.

Bo Rugong is about to go to Yecheng Gao, but he still hopes to cooperate with one or two, and in a short period of time, don't leak the news. ā€

Cao Cao's edict, Wei Qi served as a servant, and went to Yecheng to merge with Wang Cang.

Wei Qi is naturally happy, firstly, he will be promoted, and secondly, he can get rid of the chaos in the northwest, and it will be much easier. If someone else comes, Wei Qi may not be relieved to leave. But Cao Peng's arrival made Wei Qi not worry at all. In the past, Cao Peng could be described as a single rider and pacified Liangzhou. Now although Qiang Di is chaotic and the horses are brave, Wei Qi is not worried at all. Since Cao Peng is here, the northwest will never have to worry about it.

He hurriedly invited Cao Peng to take a seat, and then brought wine.

Cao Peng explained the purpose of the trip to Wei Qi......

Cao Cao secretly ordered Cao Peng to serve as the lieutenant of the division and the governor of the northwest military. But according to Cao Peng's request, it is best to announce this order to the world at the beginning of the battle of annexing states.

In this way, he can be given plenty of time to prepare.

Cao Cao had no objections, and made the two of them follow the army to listen to the order, and all the soldiers and horses of Heluo were dispatched by Cao Peng.

Then, Cao Peng secretly ordered Dian Manchu to lead his troops into Guanzhong, and at the same time made Xu Yi make a big fanfare, recruited soldiers and horses in Heluo, and stationed troops outside Hangu Pass, making a situation that could enter the customs at any time, confusing Ma Chao's ears and eyes.

"It's no accident that horses send troops."

On the way, Fa Zheng analyzed with Cao Peng.

Of the four scribes in Cao Peng's mansion, only Fa Zheng accompanied him.

Zhang Song and Jiang Wan accompanied Pang De to Guangling, while Deng Zhi was recommended by Cao Peng to Cao Cao to serve as the chief secretary of the Prime Minister's Mansion and join the army. Its nature is mostly similar to that of a staff officer. But in comparison, it is more able to enter Cao Cao's eyes. Deng Zhi has no opinion on this. He had hoped that he could have more experience and increase his knowledge. Being able to enter the Prime Minister's Mansion to hold an important position is also a training for Deng Zhi.

"How do you say this?"

"In the past, the horses were defeated miserably and retreated to Wudu, and Zhang Lu's support gave him a chance to breathe.

Qiang Di can't be relied on, he thinks he knows it very well. Nowadays, the use of troops with great fanfare is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg. Doesn't he know? But he sent troops at this time, no doubt because he learned the news that the prime minister was going to use troops against the state. Not many people know about this news, but the horses are ready to seize the opportunity. Just thought that among the heroes and powers in Guanzhong, someone would ventilate for him and secretly collude. ā€

"You mean ......"

Cao Peng didn't think about it.

Listening to what Fa Zheng said, it is quite possible.

Although Cao Peng and the Guan Sergeant Clan have eased their relationship, it is impossible to be recognized by everyone.

Wei Qi recognized him, and Huangfu Jianshou recognized him, but there are many wealthy families in Guanzhong, how can they satisfy everyone?

Fa Zheng saw that Cao Peng didn't speak, and he was not in a hurry to say it.

As the mastermind, he must learn to leave Cao Peng with a thought process.

After a while, Cao Peng suddenly raised his head, looked at Fa Zheng and asked, "What do you think about filial piety?" ā€

"Just look at the childe, do you have the guts?"

"Speak!"

"The horses sent troops, and in Yu Zheng's opinion, there was no threat.

The real threat is only in the Qiangdi rebels, and in Hanzhong Zhang Lu. Qiang can be determined, but Hanzhong is a disaster after all. The horse occupies Wudu and is the dog guarding the door in Hanzhong. Beat the horse, Yu Zhanglu does not have much to do with it, but if Hanzhong is taken, the horse is in the northwest, and there is no place to stand from now on, what does the son think? ā€

This is good, why did it suddenly come to Hanzhong?

Cao Peng couldn't help but be stunned, speechless for a long time.

"Filial piety, do you have to go to Hanzhong?"

"Exactly!"

Fa Zheng said with a smile: "Hanzhong, the gateway to Xichuan, the horse is back. In the past, Gaozu started from Hanzhong and was the land of Longxing. Gongzi was in trouble for Xichuan, but Hanzhong was not affected. Zhang Lu is also a weak person, and he is not a person who can achieve great things. As long as the troops are under the city, Zhang Lu will not dare to fight again, and he will go out of the city and be surrendered......

After winning Hanzhong, Ma Er lost his backup, and it was difficult to achieve great things.

At that time, Gongzi only needs to hold the northwest, cut off the back road of the horse, and then lure it into the pass, so that it will become a lone army, which can be eliminated in one fell swoop. It's just that in this way, it takes a lot of time, and it just depends on how the son decides. ā€

Cao Peng fell into deep thought.

"How to take Hanzhong?"

When Fa Zheng heard this, he immediately laughed.

This also shows that Cao Peng's heart is moved!

The capture of Hanzhong is an extremely critical step, as long as Hanzhong is broken and Zhang Lu is attached, Ma Chao will also be in a big trend.

Fa Zheng took a deep breath and whispered a few words in Cao Peng's ear.

But Cao Peng's face changed, revealing a strange expression.

"Filial piety should be known, this matter is extremely dangerous."

"Just as I know!"

Fa Zheng said with a smile: "However, Zheng is also sure, it only depends on whether the son dares to take this risk." ā€

"Well...... this"

Cao Peng looked a little hesitant.

Fazheng's strategy can be summed up in only three words: Meridian Valley!

Cao Peng clearly remembered that in history, Zhuge Liang's troops went out of Qishan, and Wei Yan once offered a plan to go out of the Meridian Valley and take Chang'an. This is a risky strategy, Zhuge Liang, who is calm by nature, has no choice in the end.

However, later generations have commented a lot on this.

If Zhuge Liang had adopted Wei Yan's strategy at that time, he would have been able to attack Chang'an directly through the Meridian Valley. Perhaps, the ending of the Three Kingdoms will become a different one. Of course, this is just a piece of paper for later generations. After all, no one knows what the situation was at that time. Wei Yan offered a plan, with his considerations, Zhuge Liang refused, and also had his ideas. The truth has long been lost in the long river of history and can only be guessed by future generations.

Now that Fa is offering advice, it is actually a soldier entering the Meridian Valley.

and Wei Yan's strategy is exactly the opposite, one is out, the other is in, but the nature is the same.

To put it bluntly, it is a surprise soldier and a back road.

Cao Peng checked the map of Hanzhong, and over the years, the Hexi Chamber of Commerce has also found a detailed Hanzhong sand table through trade in Xichuan. The area of Hanzhong is not small, but it is not as prosperous as imagined.

According to a census in the sixth year of Yonghe, that is, in 140 AD.

Under the rule of Hanzhong, Lingjiu County has a population of 57,344 households and a total of 267402 people. In this number, not counting the local natives, there are also the number of domestic servants and slaves hidden by the powerful in the Han Dynasty. Nearly 70 years have passed now, and in the past 70 years, although there has been no major war in Hanzhong, the war has not subsided.

Since Zhang Lu led Hanzhong, there have been constant conflicts with Xichuan, so the population is estimated to be about 200,000.

That is, a huge territory, there are not many towns, and many places are desolate.

If Fa Zheng succeeds in entering the Meridian Valley, he can go straight to Nanzheng along the water. It sounds simple, but it's not easy to do. Barren mountains and mountains, insects and snakes are dense, and the roads are difficult to navigate...... There are many places, and there are no roads, so it is not easy to get to Nanzheng smoothly.

The danger contained in this, Cao Peng can guess.

He looked at Fa Zheng and said in a deep voice: "Filial piety, why do you have the chance to win?" ā€

Fa Zheng lowered his voice and said: "Childe, do you still remember that I once said to Childe that I entered Sichuan with a friend in the past?" ā€

Have it?

Cao Peng tried hard to remember!

I remembered that Fa Zheng had said that he had two friends in Xichuan, one was Zhang Song and the other was Meng Da.

Could it be that he is talking about Mengda?

"Exactly!"

After receiving Fa Zheng's affirmative reply, Cao Peng became even more worried.

Na Mengda is a capricious person. Historically, he first rebelled against Liu Zhang, and then against Shu Han...... In the end, he wanted to betray Cao Wei again, but was noticed by Sima Yi and finally killed by Sima Yi.

How can such a person be trusted by Cao Peng.

"Meng Da, this person, is it really credible?"

Fa Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then said with a straight face: "Zidu is this person, arrogant and self-conscious, but he is honest and honest, and he can be regarded as a confidant." He had no foundation in Xichuan, and with his bravery, he was able to achieve his current status. Now he is called the chief general of Jiamengguan, but he is controlled by the deputy general and stationed in Baishui Pass, which is very unexpected...... I had previously corresponded with him, and I had revealed in my words that I wanted him to work for my son, and he was very moved by this.

However, in the end, I persuaded him to stay in Xichuan with peace of mind......"

"Why?"

Cao Peng asked in amazement.

Fa Zheng smiled bitterly, "He is the king, how can he sit back and watch Yizhou outside?" Sooner or later, an army will be sent out to conquer.

The sub-degree is different from me.

I am alone, but a fallen man; But he always guards the generals and worships the position of the captain of Guanghan. He came to vote rashly, and the son may not value it. Under the child's account, there are many talents. Brave and brave if Han is promoted, loyal and straightforward as Lingming, not to mention the northwest, there are countless parts. He's here, can Childe reuse it? ā€

This one...... It's really not going to be reused!

Not because of his talent, though, but because of his fame.

"If he takes Xichuan one day, Zidu can be the internal response, which is a great achievement.

When the time comes, he can also successfully get a place, and the son will not underestimate him, this is the best policy. ā€

Cao Peng, silent!

Fa Zheng sincerely considers Meng Da and is a close friend.

If you think about it from another angle, if Fazheng had been alive, would Meng Da have been repeating as it did in history?

However, Fa Zheng died in the twenty-fifth year of Jian'an, that is, in 220 AD.

For Mengda, he has lost a confidant and friend, and even a mentor who can show him the way, make him believe, and even obey his words. Maybe it's because of Fazheng's departure that Meng Da repeatedly?

Cao Peng had to think so, because Fa Zheng's words touched him deeply.

Life has to be a confidant and die without regrets!

Meng Da once had a confidant, but how could he make people ......

"Zidu, how do you reply?"

Unconsciously, Cao Peng changed his name for Meng Da.

Fa Zheng smiled proudly, "I am speaking, Ziduyan dares not to listen." ā€

Does he dare not listen to what I say?

Just at Fa Zheng's words, Cao Peng believed Meng Da.

"I can write to Zidu and ask him to send troops to make a feint attack on Hanzhong, and attract Hanzhong soldiers and horses to gather in Hanshui. Then, I took advantage of the momentum to enter the Meridian Valley, took Nanzheng lightly, and captured Zhang Lu in one fell swoop, then Hanzhong can be determined. ā€

"This plan is very dangerous."

"Childe, the art of war is cloudy, and the soldier is also treacherous.

It is precisely because of the danger that we need to act. That Zhang Lu will not be wary, and as far as Zheng is concerned, it is not very dangerous at all. ā€

"And what do you need me to do?"

"First, we need a team of men and horses, and we need the help of brave generals."

Cao Peng thought for a while and said: "This is reasonable, filial piety is not said, I am also with it, but I don't know what filial piety thinks, who can be the general?" ā€

"Yuande is enough!"

Full of martial arts, it is becoming more and more mature.

Not to mention the true biography of Dedian Wei, but in the early years, he laid a solid foundation with Cao Peng, so he has been among the ranks of super-first-class generals. has inherited the skills of the family, but he changed the halberd to a giant axe, so that he has a good knife technique, and even Dian Wei has to praise it. can throw a good halberd, within ten steps, the halberd is not missing, even more powerful than Dian Wei.

And Dian Wei's double iron halberd was even more used by him......

The most important thing is that he is different from Xu Yi.

Cao Peng came to Xudu that year, and Dianman was the first to become friends with him. The relationship between the two is the closest in Xiao Bayi, except for Wang Mai. Its degree of closeness is even higher than that of Deng Fan.

It's just that later he joined the army, and his contact with Cao Peng decreased.

However, his trust and respect for Cao Peng are far from being comparable to Xu Yi.

There is a credit to Dian Wei in this!

Dian Wei once said to Dian Man: "Everything just needs to be arranged by Ah Fu." ā€

Cao Peng has a life-saving grace for Dian Wei. This point is not comparable to Xu Chu...... Cao Peng and Xu Chu, to put it bluntly, are a union of interests. But Cao Peng and Dian Wei, that is a fateful friendship, the nature is by no means the same.

Moreover, Xu Yi is more scheming than Dian.

It's the same as their parents......

Xu Chu is smarter than Dian Wei, but it is precisely because of this that Cao Cao likes Dian Wei more than Xu Chu.

Let the pawn go with you?

It's not impossible......

"In that case, I will explain it to my second brother...... What about the second requirement? ā€

Fa Zheng smiled, "I need to wait for the opportunity, once the prince entrusts this matter to me, don't urge, I have my own opinions." ā€

"Yes!"

"For the third request, I need a guide.

However, this is not difficult for Childe. Therefore, I hope that Gongzi can secretly go to Liangzhou to contain Ma Er and Zhang Lu's attention. At the right time, I should send troops, and I will know with my son when the time comes. ā€

This is to have full command and not to interfere with Cao Peng.

If you change people, you will definitely not agree to the request of the law; However, Cao Peng, who knew the ability of Fazheng, heard and smiled, and immediately responded.

The law is correct, and there are three out of thirty.

Regardless of experience or mind, including vision, they are in a mature stage.

Cao Peng thought to himself that he could not think of a plan to enter the Meridian Valley. With the changes of history, his so-called 'big picture' has gradually become useless. Therefore, it is better to follow the idea of Fa-rectification. It is better to use a plan than to use people! The history of 2,000 years has all clarified such a truth, and Cao Peng understands it very well.

In this way, after discussing with Fa Zheng, Fa Zheng accompanied the pawn and quietly entered the customs.

As for Cao Peng, the two of them led the Wenwu King and the two of them, with four small oil bottles, to Chang'an......

The four small oil bottles are Deng Ai, Cai Di, Du Shu and Sun Shao.

Originally, Cao Peng didn't want to bring them over.

I don't know how these four little guys got the news, so they colluded and secretly followed.

It wasn't until he was in Michi that Cao Peng found that the four of them were with him.

I wanted to get them away, but it was too late......

Subsequently, Hu Zhao wrote another letter to persuade Cao Peng.

Cai Di, Deng Ai Dushu, and the three of them are also considered to have achieved success in the academy, while although Sun Shao has just entered the academy, he is indeed good at martial arts. It is better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles. Now that their minds have moved, they are forcing them to go back to study, and they can't calm down, so it is better to let them go through the experience.

Hu Zhao said: "Youxue, you were the captain of the northern part of Luoyang when you were fifteen years old.

At the age of sixteen, he had already participated in the battle of Guandu and made great achievements. These children, instead of protecting, should let them learn from their experience. Only then can they recognize their own shortcomings. ā€

With the cramming education of later generations, or the so-called 'quality' education, Cao Peng feels that Hu Zhao's approach is the real quality education.

Since he came, he couldn't drive away.

So Cao Peng took four children, and at the same time came to Chang'an together, there is also a special person.

Zhuge Jun!

Zhuge Jun was originally ordered by Sima Hui to come to Chang'an to buy real estate.

Sima Hui was preparing to cultivate in Zhongnan Mountain, and Zhuge Jun, as a disciple, should take the lead.

But with the departure of Fa Zheng, there is no one around Cao Peng who can engage in copywriting.

Du Shu can share some of it, after all, he is too young.

Therefore, Cao Peng and Zhuge Jun discussed, and asked Zhuge Jun to temporarily share some pressure for his main book.

Thinking of Cao Peng taking in his family, Zhuge Jun was also very grateful.

He didn't have much interest in joining the office, but since Cao Peng proposed it, he couldn't refuse, so he agreed.

Of course, Zhuge Jun's identity cannot be revealed.

He pretended to be Ge Jun's name, saying that he was Cao Peng's staff recruited in Jingzhou, but no one would pay attention to it.

Wei Qi was a little worried: "In this way, Youxue wants to go to Longxi?" ā€

"Exactly!"

"But the situation in Longxi ......"

Cao Peng smiled slightly, "It is precisely because of the tense situation in Longxi that I have to go even more."

At the beginning, my father had to come to Liangzhou to take up his post. Now, after six years in the bitter cold of the northwest, he is not in good health, how can I let him continue to stay there, frightened and supportive?

After some time, the Liangzhou pastor will arrive in Chang'an.

Peng hopes that Bo Rugong can stay in Chang'an for a few more days and cooperate with my third brother to deter some people in Guanzhong from being honest. After Wenhe arrived in Chang'an, Bo Rugong went to Yecheng again, I don't know if it was possible? ā€

Jia Xu will be appointed as the pastor of Liangzhou!

Cao Cao did not hide the news.

Wei Qi thought about it and agreed.

He is a smart person, and he can naturally hear the clues from Cao Peng's words. Moreover, Guanzhong has not been very calm recently, on the surface, it seems that singing and dancing are leveling, but in fact, it is indeed an undercurrent turbulent and extremely weird.

Wei Qi also guessed that there may be some heroes in this area, who are fueling the troubles.

Now that Cao Peng has spoken out, he has confirmed this idea.

I feel a little bitter in my heart, but I am afraid that there will be another twist and turn in this level. When the time comes, I don't know which one will die in this turmoil...... However, by that time it had nothing to do with him.

When he really wants to see the difference, I'm afraid he has already arrived in Yecheng.

Although Wei Qi is a member of Guanzhong's Haoqiang, as long as it does not touch the interests of his Hedong Wei clan, there will not be too many problems. Wei Qi grasped this very accurately! Otherwise, when Cao Peng killed Wei Duan and Wei Kang's father and son, he would not have stopped pursuing it halfway. In the end, it has nothing to do with his Wei family.

Wait!

After Wei Qi sent Cao Peng away, he suddenly shuddered.

Jingzhao, Merriam-Webster?

Could it be that they are making trouble in it?

Wei Duan Weikang's father and son were killed by Cao Peng, and Wei, as a veteran family in Guanzhong, naturally would not give up.

At that time, Cao Peng was to be investigated, and the loudest clamor was the Jingzhao Wei family.

But later, due to Cao Peng's concession of the Hexi trade route, coupled with the suppression of Huangfu Jianshou and Wei Qi, as well as the old Guanzhong Haoqiang like the Pingling Dou clan, Wei finally had to bow his head and no longer pursue it.

But can they really give up?

The death of Wei Duan Wellcome dealt a huge blow to Merriam-Webster's interests.

In particular, Webster's interests in Liangzhou were almost uprooted by Cao Peng, which can be described as a great loss of vitality.

In this case, if Webster can be willing, he will not be Guanzhong Haoqiang!

Standing on the doorstep, Wei Qi let out a long breath.

On the one hand, he was glad that he was going to jump out of this whirlpool; On the other hand, I feel a pity.

I hope De Webster can be smarter and not get involved in right and wrong.

Otherwise, with the strong and ferocious methods of King Cao Yan, Jing Zhao Wei, I'm afraid time is running out......

"Husband, who came to visit just now?"

Behind him, a dignified woman walked up, took Wei Qi's arm, and asked softly.

This woman is Wei Qi's wife.

Speaking of which, she is also the daughter of a wealthy family, born in another family in Hedong, the Pei family.

On weekdays, Pei rarely asks about Wei Qian's official duties. She is good at reading, likes women, and is better at calligraphy and painting.

Wei Qi and Pei's Qinse are in harmony and are quite affectionate.

Hearing Pei's inquiry, Wei Qi thought for a while, turned his head and replied, "The King of the Northwest, the real King of the Northwest." ā€

"Huh?"

Pei Shi was stunned!

I have never heard of such a title as the King of the Northwest.

However, Pei's was extremely intelligent, and he reacted immediately, and seemed to understand the meaning of Wei Qi's words......

The King of the Northwest?

Or it would be more appropriate to call him the Lord of the Northwest.

Who can afford these three words? There is only one person, and only that person can!

Set the northwest, open the Silk Road, make Qianghu surrender, and make Guanzhong rich......

"He's back?"

"Well, I'm back."

Wei Qi will not hide Pei's because he knows Pei's temperament too well, and he is a person who can keep secrets.

"He is here this time to take over from Captain Sili.

However, we still have to stay in Chang'an for a while to cooperate with him in some actions. Hehe, as soon as this person comes back, I'm afraid it will make many people's hearts tremble. But for us, it's a good thing. ā€

"Huh?"

"Madam, I beg you to write to inform your father-in-law immediately.

We can continue to increase investment in the northwest, and we can continue to carry out commercial affairs that have been suspended before.

In this northwest, with him in charge, the horses can't make any noise. ā€

Pei Shi heard this, nodded, and stopped asking.

It was enough for Wei Qi to reveal the news to her...... Presumably, the family will seek more benefits because of this.

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

In April of the 14th year of Jian'an, Cao Cao issued an official edict and launched an attack on Bingzhou.

Hedong guarded Deng Ji, with Huang Zhong as the general, Jiang Ji as the vanguard, the troops went out to the Tianshan Mountain, marched 600 miles in ten days, and the three towns of Lianke, and the soldiers left the stone...... The prosperity of the soldiers, if they are destroyed and decayed, no one can be defeated.

Huang Zhong even wore heavy armor and led his troops to climb first.

Xihe Taishou did not dare to resist, and when Huang Zhong arrived at Lishi, he immediately opened the city and surrendered.

At this time, Deng Ji's main force had just crossed Tongtian Mountain. After learning the news of the surrender of the stone, Deng Ji was a little at a loss. After a long time, he reacted and couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh......

"This Ah Fu and my old man are quite honest!"

Immediately, Deng Ji notified Yang Wei and led his troops to rush to Lishi.

At the same time, Li Dian and Cao Zhang went hand in hand, and the wolf smoke of the state was everywhere......

And Cao Peng was also at this time, detouring to the Spring Pavilion of the Street, and came to the outside of Lintao City without knowing it!
