Cao Thief

Chapter 235

In Huaibei in September, the weather is unpredictable.

It was still sunny at noon, but it was cloudy in the afternoon.Afternoon time, which is Shen time, is between 3-5 o'clock in the afternoon every day.People are used to eating for the second time at this time.In Cao Peng's view, it is somewhat similar to the "afternoon tea" of later generations.

In the small pavilion by the ancestral water, Cao Peng watched the turbulent ancestral water, a little fascinated.

Gan Ning sat on the side, looked at Cao Peng, and finally couldn't help asking: "My lord, do you really want to do this?"

Cao Peng came back to his senses and smiled at Gan Ning, "Xingba, always be grateful... This is my principle, and I must do it."

"But……"

"I know it's going to be hard, and it can be very dangerous."

Cao Peng let out a foul breath and stretched his body, "But I have to do this, otherwise I will be restless all my life."

Gan Ning, be silent!

Cao Peng looked at the surging Zushui, but a flowery smile appeared in his mind.

Presumably, she can forgive me for what I did before!

No matter how Cao Peng told himself to learn to be thick and black after his rebirth, he had to be ruthless.But some things cannot be changed after all.

For example, a grateful heart engraved in the bone.

He still remembers the beauty in that small small room, in that bathtub.

He respects Diao Chan very much.Even if he had seen the infinite spring, it only made his mind flutter at that time.There was no desire to dominate in his heart. In fact, regardless of age, Cao Peng felt that there would be a lot of pressure in front of that woman.

That is a respectable woman.

No matter what kind of idea she had in the beginning to eradicate Dong Zhuo, her contribution could not be erased.

Although Cao Peng's surname is Cao, he is not Cao Cao, let alone Cao Cao's paranoia about "wife".Any thought of Diao Chan is a blasphemy to her.So Cao Peng saved Diao Chan, on the one hand because of gratitude, on the other hand, there is also a trace of remnants for Lu Bu in his previous life.

He can't change the overall situation, so he can only try his best to repay his favor.

"Uncle Zhou!"

"Here!"

"How is Yuzhou Mountain now?"

"Everything is fine... According to the young master's order, I have been secretly repairing the camp in Yuzhou Mountain for more than half a year, and no one has noticed."

"Very good!" Cao Peng thought for a while, and said in a low voice, "Go back to Haixi immediately, and command the ship to leave the port. After leaving the sea, return to Yilu Bay secretly, and hide your tracks. In addition, borrow some food from my brother-in-law , hoarding on Yuzhou Mountain, and don’t expose your possessions.”

"Here!"

Zhou Cang didn't think Cao Peng did anything wrong.

On the contrary, I feel that Cao Peng is a hero who knows how to repay his kindness.

He was born in the grass, not as thoughtful and appropriate as Gan Ning thought.Since Cao Peng wanted to repay his kindness, so what if he took a risk?
Zhou Cang is not a timid person.

Gan Ning said softly: "Since the young master has made a decision, you must be careful.

In my opinion, it is best to transfer Hao Zhao over and let him go out of town Quyang.After all, he was born in Bingzhou, so he must agree with the young master's move.And he is guarding in Quyang, so he can do his best.With him in Quyang, you can add a little more protection for the young master..."

"Rang Bodao out of the town of Quyang?"

Cao Peng frowned, pondered for a moment, and nodded slightly.

"Bo Dao came out of the town of Quyang, he is the best candidate... come!"

"Here!"

Chu Ge stepped forward and stepped outside the pavilion to salute.

"With my seal and ribbon, I rushed to Hailing overnight, and ordered Hao Zhao, the Sima of Dongling Pavilion, to leave immediately to take up the post in Quyang and take over Quyang's defense; Ren Wangmai served as Hailing's military cao, took over Dongling Pavilion's defense, and took charge of Hailing's military affairs. Then make Buzishan come to the prime minister immediately, and Kan Derun will take care of Hailing's affairs. Also, when Uncle Zhou passed by Quyang, he went back to Haixi with Mr. Puyang.

This year, Haixi has a bumper harvest, but it has not yet stabilized.

The first battle in Xuzhou will inevitably make many people displaced and leave their homes.On the one hand, I remind my brother-in-law to prepare to accept the refugees. On the other hand, I ask my brother-in-law to immediately transfer 50 hu of grain and grass to stockpile Quyang... I will send someone to take over when the time comes. "

————————————————————

In September of the third year of Jian'an, Zhang Liao made several attacks, trying to attack Tongxian County and regain his prime minister.

However, Chen Deng's command is determined, and he will not be chaotic in the face of Zhang Liao's crazy attack... If we say that Chen Deng gave Cao Peng the impression that he was a strategist, then this fierce battle between Huai and Si will completely change Chen Deng's military strategy. Ability is undoubtedly also displayed vividly.

After crossing the Huai River, Chen Deng quickly captured Huaipu, and relying on Huaipu, he swung his army straight up, diagonally across the Huaisi Plain, and occupied Tong County.

Afterwards, Chen Deng fought an extremely beautiful blocking battle in Tong County.

Eager to return to Xiapi, Zhang Liao joined Lu Bu, but was ambushed by Chen Deng.Although he did not suffer too much loss, he was unable to continue northward.In desperation, Zhang Liao had no choice but to retreat to Xu County and wait for an opportunity.On September [-]th, Cao Cao started the battle in Pengcheng...

Zhang Liao took the opportunity to cross the Huai River and capture Xuyi in order to disrupt Chen Deng's plan.

Unexpectedly, Chen Deng ordered Chen Jiao to go out of the town of Xuyi in advance, and set up an army on the south bank of the Huai River.Seeing that a sneak attack was impossible, Zhang Liao had no choice but to give up... Immediately afterwards, he went out to attack Suiling County on the 23th, and smashed the city in one fell swoop.Chen Deng was furious immediately, and he sent Xu Xuan out of Town Tong County, and then personally led a large army to sit in Ling County, supervise the battle against Huai Si, and recapture Suiling on the [-]rd, so that Zhang Liao finally had to return without success.

In less than 20 days, Zhang Liao attacked three times and lost three times.

Although Chen Deng's troops were greatly restrained, his own strength was also exhausted, so he stuck to Xu County and did not attack again.

On September 26, Pengcheng was broken...

At this time, Cao Peng was entrusted with the important task of commanding three thousand troops to guard the prime minister.

And Deng Ji sent Puyang Kai to temporarily lead Qu Yangchang to assist Chen Deng in employing troops.

With the defeat of Pengcheng, the battle situation in Xuzhou suddenly became clear.Lu Bu felt flustered at this time, and despite Chen Gong's persuasion, he sent troops to meet him. In Lu County, Xiahou Dun and Liu Bei joined forces to attack, and he was defeated and returned.After this battle, Lu Bu was no longer as arrogant as before.While urging Zhang Liao to quickly return to Xiapi, on the other hand, he ordered Wei Xu to send troops to try to regain the prime minister...

Cao Peng fought against the city, but could not hold out.

On the third day of October, Wei Xu was ordered to withdraw his troops and return to Xiapi, and set up an ambush on the way, hoping to ambush Cao Peng's pursuers and save some face.

Unexpectedly, Cao Peng let Wei Xu withdraw his troops and ignored him.

In Cao Peng's words: "If you return to Xiapi, you will die sooner or later. Why should I bother with you?"

Wei Xu had no choice but to return in the end, leaving only a mess everywhere...

On the seventh day of October, Cao Cao's troops arrived at Mount Geyi, across the water from Xiapi!

Perhaps inspired by the Battle of Quyang, Chen Gong once again suggested that Lu Bu ride outside the city of Xiapi, and let him alone guard Xiapi, and the inside should cooperate with the outside, echoing each other from afar.If Cao Cao attacked the Pi, Lu Bu would attack from behind; if Cao Cao attacked Lu Bu, Chen Gong would respond from the Pi.

Generally speaking, Chen Gong's strategy is exactly the same as Deng Zhi's.

The difference is that Lu Bu still has nearly ten thousand soldiers and horses in his hands, and Gao Shun's eight hundred elite soldiers.With Lu Bu's bravery and wildness in the battle, it was enough to make Cao Cao feel a headache.It is not like the predicament that Cao Peng had no soldiers in Quyang before.

But such a strategy was not implemented in the end.

According to historical records, Lu Bu agreed at first, but later changed his mind after hearing the persuasion of his family members.

In his previous life, when Cao Peng read this passage, he yelled at Lü Bu for being indecisive, saying that Lü Bu's family had more success than failure.

However, he has now experienced the war firsthand.

It can be regarded as having a deep understanding of the various inside stories.

Was it because Lu Bu was dissuaded by his family members, that Chen Gong had a criminal record and entrusted his family and lair to a person who tried to conspire with others to rebel a year ago?Even Cao Cao may not dare to rest assured.Chen Gongtai, but he wants to rebel against Lu Bu...

Therefore, Cao Peng can understand Lu Bu's approach.

It's just that under such circumstances, Lu Bu's suspicion completely ruined his life!

On the tenth day of October, Cao Cao's soldiers were trapped in Pi. At this time, Lu Bu also became a bird in a cage...

On October [-], Zang Ba led his troops to surrender to Cao Cao.

Xu Huang cleared the last obstacle. Shunyishui sent troops southward, quickly passed through Donghai County, and on October 27, the soldiers came to Siwu, facing each other across the water.Xu Huang's arrival completely cut off Zhang Liao's desire to join forces with Lu Bu.On October 29th, Chen Deng raised troops from Suiling and trapped Xu County.So far, the Huaisi battle has entered a stalemate, and Lu Bu is defeated, but sooner or later.

At the end of October, Zhang Yang, the prefect of Yiyang, who was from Yunzhong of Bingzhou, a fellow of Lu Bu, sent troops to rescue Lu Bu.

Zhang Yang, whose name is Uncle Zhi, seldom takes martial arts as his career in Bingzhou Wumeng.In the last years of Emperor Ling, Zhang Yang pretended to be Jian Shuo, a lieutenant of the military academy, and pretended to be Sima. After Jian Shuo was killed, Zhang Yang returned to his prefecture to recruit soldiers, and wanted to respond to He Jin.But before he sent troops, He Jin was killed and Dong Zhuo was in chaos.Zhang Yang united with Yuan Shao again, joined forces with Nandan Yu Fuluo to Liyang, and established his team.Later, Dong Zhuo made Zhang Yang the prefect of Hanoi.

In the first year of Jian'an, Emperor Han fled Chang'an.

Zhang Yang welcomed Emperor Han in Anyi, escorted Emperor Han to Luoyang, and served as Da Sima.

He has a gentle personality and treats his subordinates with kindness.However, when troops were sent to rescue Lu Bu, he was killed by his subordinate Yang Ri soon after, and his head was in a different place...

Lu Bu's last hope was shattered when Zhang Yang was killed!
After Yuan Shu received Lu Bu's request for help, his face immediately changed.Instead of sending troops to rescue, Lu Bu asked Lu Bu to send his daughter, Lu Lan, to Shouchun first to marry her son.But now that Xiapi is besieged by the army, how will Lu Bu send Lu Lan out of the city?
In November, a fierce battle started under the city of Xiapi.

--------------------------------

In Xiapi City, gunpowder smoke filled the air.

In Xu County, there was even more shouting and killing.

In contrast, the lower face is calm.Cao Cao has no time to summon Cao Peng, and Cao Peng is also happy to be in the photo, so that he can relax.

At the same time, he is also intensively preparing secretly.

Rescuing Lu Bu's family is extremely dangerous.

What's more, this matter was to be completed under Cao Cao's nose, which added a lot of variables.

As a matter of urgency, Cao Peng must first try to get from Xiaxiang to Xiapi.But without Cao Cao's order, he could only stay in Xiaxiang County.

"Bo Miao, find a way to let me go to Xiapi."

In the lower minister's office, Cao Peng hesitated, looking worried.

Deng Zhi was ordered to come to the prime minister to assist Cao Peng.But this time, Deng Zhi became a lot more low-key, and didn't dare to underestimate her at all.Before that, he made a plan to divide the troops in Quyang, which almost made Cao Peng trapped in Quyang.Looking back now, Deng Zhi also felt scared.If Chen Deng hadn't dispatched troops in time, crossed the Huai River, and occupied Huaipu, Cao Peng would really be finished...

Six hundred township braves were conscripted from Haixi and arrived in Quyang.

Looking at the riddled city wall of Quyang, Deng Zhi couldn't help feeling deeply.

He had watched the battle in Quyang from a distance, but after observing it so closely, he knew how much pressure Quyang County was under at that time.

From the mouths of the soldiers guarding the city, Deng Zhi heard various deeds about Cao Peng.

From Chen Gong's throwing stones intimidating, to Cao Peng's attacking the camp at night; from Chen Gong's attack, to Cao Peng's timely response; from Cao Xing's feint attack, to Cao Peng's pursuit... Although there are many elements of luck ingredients, but it is also enough to prove that Cao Peng has the ability to stand alone.Deng Zhi couldn't help thinking in his heart, if he guarded Quyang instead, would he be able to guard Quyang like Cao Peng?

Therefore, when seeing Cao Peng again, Deng Zhi lost a lot of arrogance.

And Cao Peng looked as humble as before...

In terms of temperament alone, uncles and grandchildren are strict, which always makes people afraid to get close, but friendship and learning are gentle and kind, which makes people feel very cordial!

In my heart, Deng Ji and Cao Peng are superior to each other!

Deng Zhi was also taken aback when he heard Cao Peng's plan for the first time.

However, Deng Zhi also agrees with Cao Peng's act of repaying his kindness.

However, it is not an easy task for Cao Peng to go to Xiapi.Cao Cao is not short of major generals now, and it is simply not Cao Peng's turn.

This time Cao Cao sent troops, with Guo Jia Xunyou in the literature and Dianwei Xu Chu in the military.

Xiahoudun, Xu Huang and others are also not mediocre. How could Cao Cao transfer a 15-year-old child to the front line of Xiapi?
But if you don't go to Xiapi, you can't do anything.

Deng Zhi said: "If you want to go down to the Pi, you must attract the attention of Duke Cao."

"The question is, how should I act so that Duke Cao pays attention? You know that Duke Cao's current energy is all in the slumber."

This is really difficult for Deng Zhi.

You can't do too much, otherwise it will make people feel suspicious; you can't make small troubles, otherwise you won't be able to attract Cao Cao's attention.

This involves a grasp of 'speed', even for Deng Zhi, it is very embarrassing.

"Forget it, let's take a look."

"kindness!"

Cao Peng suddenly asked: "Uncle Zhou went to sea, did someone ask about it?"

Deng Zhi shook his head and said, "It's a routine duty for Lieutenant Zhou to go to sea this time. He has gone to sea many times before, and everyone is used to it, so it didn't arouse suspicion."

"It's very good, otherwise it will be troublesome."

"Oh, Youxue can rest assured. Although Haixi is not monolithic now, the overall situation is in the hands of my uncle and grandson, and there will be no difference."

"This time, I am self-willed."

"It's a virtue for a man to know how to repay his kindness. According to me, Youxue, you did nothing wrong."

Cao Peng smiled slightly and changed the subject...

"Young master, something has happened!"

While Cao Peng and Deng Zhi were chatting, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the flower hall.

Xia Houlan rushed in with crooked helmet and crooked armor. When she saw Cao Peng, she shouted angrily, "My lord, our food has been robbed!"
