Cao Thief

Chapter 366 Debut ([-]-character chapter)

After Bu Zhi successfully entered Haixi, he did not take any special measures.

Everything is still the same as it was when Deng Ji was in Haixi, farming, opening up wasteland, cooking sea salt... After Quyang and Yilu were successively brought under the rule of Haixi, a situation of Haixi has been formed.Today, the whole Daxi has a population of more than [-], scattered in Haixi County, Quyang County, Yilu County and other areas, forming an extremely prosperous area, and even Xu Yan admires it.

At the beginning of the year, at the invitation of Xu Wei, the Nine Haixi Guilds settled in Xiapi to further promote the influence of Haixi.

After Bu Zhi took over Haixi, he got the support of many old courtiers.For example, Wang Mai Pan Zhang, Zhou Cang Feng Chao and others all expressed their support for Bu Zhi.Although Deng Zhi, the head of Yilu, was a little unwilling, but faced with Bu Zhi's strong approach, he could only bow his head to express his approval.

Afterwards, the nine major guilds in Haixi expressed their support for Bu Zhi, which quickly calmed down the regime change in Haixi.

Bu Zhi's problem is related to the Nine Great Guilds in Haixi.

"The nine major guilds have experienced four years and have entered a period of rapid expansion.

They not only stabilized the commercial markets in the three counties of Haixi, but also gradually included Huaiyin, Sheyang, including Hailing and Yandu.

At the beginning of the year, the guild was established in Xiapi, making the nine major guilds the largest commercial organization in Huainan and Huaibei.

They have been cooperating with Luoyang since last year, taking advantage of Luoyang's convenience to make greater profits... However, as the business between the two places becomes more frequent, the throughput of goods and the flow of money also increase.Last year, the transaction volume between Haixi and Luoyang was as high as [-] million yuan, and after the beginning of the year, the transaction volume increased a lot.Although Liu Bei started an incident in Donghai County before, it did not have much impact on the nine major guilds.After the increase in tradable volume, many problems have emerged, which are imminent. "

"for example?"

Cao Peng took a sip of his wine and asked.

"For example... baht money."

"Baht money? What happened to the baht money?"

Deng Ji smiled wryly, "Do you know that at the beginning of the year, Huangzheng, the head of the gold market, intended to purchase a batch of goods from Luoyang... The transaction amount was nearly ten million yuan. But just to transport these copper coins, it was fully used There are more than a dozen vehicles and nearly [-] poor horses. Huang Zheng said that when the salt market opens this year, the transaction value of the salt market alone will exceed [-] million yuan. This long-distance transportation is too dangerous."

From Haixi to Luoyang, there are roughly two roads.

One is to go through Pengcheng County in Mount Tai, enter Yanzhou and pass through Chenliu, pass through Guandu to Luoyang;But no matter which way to go, the distance is very long and quite difficult...

Although the banditry has been reduced a lot under Cao Cao's rule, there will still be many bandits on the road.

These bandits come out of the mountains as bandits, and enter the mountains as thieves. Their whereabouts are strange and it is difficult to eliminate them.For this reason, hundreds or even thousands of guards were dispatched to accompany each long-distance transportation.But just this expense is enough to cause headaches for many merchants.

For this reason, many businessmen knew that the sea-Luo business route had huge benefits, but they stopped.

After Bu Zhi took over Haixi, he immediately faced such a trouble.And the leader of the Nine Nationalities in Haixi, even sitting on the golden mountain, is really in great pain.Therefore, after discussing with each other, the leaders of the nine major groups approached Bu Zhi together.Although they are sitting in Xiapi now, in theory, they can discuss with Xu Qiu if they have any problems.But perhaps instinctively, the leaders of the Nine Banks are still willing to negotiate through Haixi.

Bu Zhi also has a headache about this problem.

Speaking of which, the situation he faced after taking office was not much different from that of Deng Ji at the beginning.

Deng Ji went from having nothing to dominating Haixi in the end; but what about Bu Zhi?After taking office, there was Liu Bei's chaos first, and then he had to face such problems.His trouble is that Deng Ji did too well before, raising this starting point too high.So much so that if Bu Zhi cannot solve this problem, or cannot alleviate this problem, it will have an impact on his reputation, and there will be more difficulties in the future.

Bu Zhi was recommended by Cao Peng.

To some extent, he is Cao Peng's retainer.

His every move, every move, represents the interests of Cao Peng.

Don't people like Xu Jiao and Chen Deng have any desire for Haixi?Xu Wei is still a native of Haixi, and his desire for Haixi is even greater than that of Chen Deng.

When Deng Ji was about to leave, Xu Yan and Chen Deng also recommended others.

But in the end, Cao Cao still agreed with Cao Peng's Bu Zhi of "respecting the virtuous but not avoiding relatives".

If Bu Zhi does not do well, he will lose face to Cao Peng; more importantly, if he fails to do well, it will definitely affect Cao Peng's influence in Haixi.This is an extremely huge trouble. Haixi gets [-]% of the profit every year, after all, it belongs to Cao Peng.

In desperation, Bu Zhi had to ask Deng Ji to ask Cao Peng for advice.

After listening to Deng Ji's words, Cao Peng couldn't help being dumbfounded.

He knew that Haixi's current momentum was very good, but he didn't expect it to be so good.

More than [-] million yuan, nearly [-] guan.

It doesn't sound like a lot, and it's still a transaction amount.But you must know that four years ago, Haixi was just a small remote county with a population of only 5000 to [-]... According to Deng Ji, Haixi has entered a period of development blowout.But just for one transaction in the salt market, the court can get more than [-] million yuan in taxes... What a terrible figure is this?If you add other taxes and other incomes, Haixi's tax revenue this year can reach [-] million, or even more...

Cao Peng gasped!
We also realize that the rapid development of Haixi has caused signs of imbalance.

Just this transportation problem alone has reached the point where it cannot be solved...

But the question is, what tricks can he have?
"Brother-in-law, I can't think of any good ideas for this matter.

However, allow me a few days to think about it.If it doesn't work, try to contact Brother Changwen to see what he can do.

He has a wide range of people and a large family, so he may have some ideas. "

"Well, that's what I thought too. I'm planning to let Uncle Juye go to Luoyang tomorrow morning to visit County Magistrate Chen."

Deng Ji knew that Cao Peng was not evading.

But this kind of thing is indeed troublesome, and it is impossible to come up with a strategy all at once.

Bu Zhi is not an idler, he even has a headache, how about Cao Peng?Even if Cao Peng can figure out a solution, it will take some time to think about it.

Deng Ji filled a glass of wine for Cao Peng, and asked softly, "Ah Fu, what does the Lord mean?"

"Ok?"

"I mean, how long is this going to take you?"

Upon hearing this, Cao Peng scratched his head and smiled wryly.

"My lord's thoughts, in fact, you and I can guess it?

My misfortune this time is a little big, and I guess the lord is also very embarrassed.But I think, there should be no fear of life... Otherwise, the lord would have spoken long ago.The reason why he keeps silent now is probably waiting for an opportunity to excuse himself.Brother-in-law, don't worry.If I were to be sentenced to death, I would not be able to bear it after I fell down.Now, the two of us are grasshoppers tied by a thread. If I die, he will die; if he lives, I will live.Thinking of him Fu Wan, the majestic patriarch, I won’t suffer a loss if I exchange his life... Hehe, His Majesty will not just watch Fu Wan be killed, so sooner or later he will make a decision.My lord is probably waiting for His Majesty's idea now, and then act. "

There was a hint of worry on Deng Ji's face.

"I'm afraid, the night is long and dreams are many!"

Raising the wine glass, Cao Peng and Deng Ji invited wine, and then drank it down.

Outside the window, the moon rises high.

The bright moonlight spilled into the cell through the small window.

Outside the cell is a lotus pond.In the summer night, the frogs in the lotus pond croaked, and the sounds came and went...

"Brother-in-law, do you have any arrangements when you come back this time?"

"Well, I have met Xun...shangshu. After staying at home for three days, he will go to Meishan and become the head of Meishan."

"Just Mei Shanchang?"

Deng Ji smiled, "I also serve as a marching commander."

"Whose marching commander?"

"Long Wen."

"Brother Wei?"

Deng Ji nodded and said, "Yes, it's Wei Yan.

He is now the captain of Meishan, leading the army stationed on the bank of Meishan.

Xun Shangshu said, Wen Chang and I have worked together before, and we are old acquaintances, so let me go out of the town of Meishan with him to protect the safety of the food road. "

Cao Peng thought for a while and said, "If it's Big Brother Wei, then there won't be much problem."

"Yeah, I didn't expect Wenchang to become a captain of the first battalion now."

Wei Yan is the captain of Zhiqianshi, one rank lower than Cao Peng's captain of Yueqi.

Ranking one thousand stones, the monthly salary is ninety dendrobiums; compared with two thousand stones, the monthly salary is one hundred dendrobiums, the difference between the two is ten dendrobiums in salary, so the difference is not too big.But only if you have entered the two thousand stones, you can be called a member of the imperial court.Wei Yan has now touched the threshold of a court official.

Thinking about it, it's not easy.

He was a white man at the beginning, and he loved his subordinates all the time.

In just four short years, one can imagine the hard work it took to achieve this level.

When Wei Yanlai was mentioned, Deng Ji couldn't help laughing...

Back then, they became Pao Ze for various reasons.At that time, Wei Yan was just a Dubo, and he was the servant of Yiyangtun.Now……

Deng Ji took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "How fast this time flies!"

"Well, soon."

In Cao Peng's eyes, there was a misty look.

The two were silent for a long time, and suddenly they laughed.

With this smile, the estrangement in Deng Ji's heart seemed to disappear.

"It's getting late, I'll go back first."

"it is good!"

"Is there anything you need? I'll bring it to you when I come to see you tomorrow."

Cao Peng thought for a while and picked up a book, "I've been reading Mr. Cai Yong's "Lingji" these days, and I have a lot of insights. Can you help me find the whole book "East View of Hanji" and Mr. Cai's Works? Also, can you help me find the "Suanzao Ling Liu Xiong Inscription", I want to copy it. These days, I have not been in touch, and this hand is born! If I go back and be assessed by Yueying, I will definitely blame it."

Ling Ji is an article in "East View of Han Ji".

This Dongguan Hanji is a biographical history book that records the history of Emperor Guangwu Zhiling of the Han Dynasty. It was named after it was compiled in Dongguan.

This book was written by generations of people.

At the beginning, Emperor Han Ming ordered Ban Gu, Chen Zong and others to write "The Benji of the Ancestors", and then Ban Gu and others compiled the deeds of heroes, Pinglin, Xinshi, and Gongsun as biographies and records, totaling 28 articles.This is also the initial period of Dongguan Hanji. When it came to Emperor An, Liu Zhen, Li You and others continued to write Ji, Biao, Mingchen, Jieshi and other chapters. From Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty to Yongchu, it was renamed "" "Han Ji".

Since then, Dongguan Hanji has gone through several continuations, and it ended sometimes with Emperor Lingdi of Han Dynasty.

Cai Yong, Yang Biao, Lu Zhi and others were the last batch of continuation writers. They added dozens of chronicles, annals, and biographies, extending to the death of Emperor Hanling...

When the Later Han Dynasty did not appear, Shiji, Hanshu and this Dongguan Hanji, originally called the Three History, were studied by many people.

In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, there was such a segment: after Dong Zhuo died, Cai Yong cried for Dong Zhuo... Wang Yun and Cai Yong had always had a gap, so they took the opportunity to capture Cai Yong and wanted to kill Cai Yong.Cai Yong said, you can kill me, but can you allow me to finish compiling "Han Ji" before killing me?But Wang Yun disagreed and killed Cai Yong anyway.As a result, many articles in the later period of "Hanji" were lost, and what remained were only fragments of Lingji.

There is no need to repeat Cai Yong's literary talents.

Cao Peng has been reading Cai Yong's works these days, and he also admires them very much.

At the same time, he was also quite curious about Dong Guan Han Ji, so he asked Deng Ji to look for it.

Deng Ji thought for a while, "It may not be possible to find the full copy all at once, but I will try my best...Don't worry, there are me and Dad at home."

Cao Peng smiled slightly, and immediately changed the topic.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++
Late at night!

Cao Peng was lying on the dry haystack, looking up at the sky through the small window.

But seeing the stars shining brightly, and a Milky Way across the sky... Cao Peng bit a dry grass in his mouth, thinking about what Deng Ji said before.

Yes, it is indeed necessary to find a way to solve it.

In my mind, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared.

He seemed to have caught a clue.

Turning over and sitting up, leaning against the pink and white wall, Cao Peng clasped his fists under his chin, curled his legs and meditated silently.

After a while, he suddenly said: "Ziyou!"

Xia Houlan fell into a drowsy sleep, and when she heard Cao Peng's call, she opened her eyes and sat up.

Rubbing his eyes, "My lord, are you still asleep?"

"Where do you put the paper and ink that Xiaozhen brought last time?"

"Oh, I put it away."

Xia Houlan got up, found a package from the corner, and handed it to Cao Peng.

"Young master, what are you thinking?"

Cao Peng smiled, "It's nothing, you go to bed first."

He spread out the paper, then turned on the oil lamp, picked up the pen and rubbed the ink, and after thinking for a while, he wrote vigorously on the paper with a serious expression...

Jian'an five years, April.

After Yuan Shao failed to dig the tunnel, he came up with another trick.

He ordered the soldiers to gather soil to form a hill, and ordered the archers to stand on the hill, where they could have a bird's-eye view of Cao Jun's camp.

Every day, the archers are condescending and shoot arrows at Cao Ying.Cao Jun was suppressed by Yuan Jun, and he was miserable. Even when he came out, he had to wear a shield to block the arrows.For ten days, Cao's army suffered heavy casualties, and their morale also declined.Cao Cao was also helpless in the face of Yuan Shao's arrow attack.Although there are also archers in the battalion, Yuan Jun occupies a high place and can firmly suppress Cao Jun.

At this time, Liu Ye led his troops to Guandu.

Seeing this situation, Liu Ye immediately showed a plan.

"Attack with a catapult?"

Cao Cao smiled wryly and said, "Zi Yang is going to be joking. Although the trebuchet is powerful, its range is far from that of an arrow, and it cannot be approached at all."

Liu Ye said: "My lord, don't panic.

In Xudu, when nothing happened, he improved the catapult, and the throwing distance could be increased by thirty steps without any loss of power.

Now that Yuan Shao gathers archers at a high place, he can use this improved catapult to attack... A while ago, Ye had read some battle reports from Youxue in Quyang, so he came up with a strategy.Carry tung oil in clay pots, wrap fire starters on the outer layer, and then throw and launch.When it is crushed and the tung oil is scattered, it can produce great power when it comes into contact with fire.Yuan Shao used bows and arrows, why didn't my lord attack with fire? "

Cao Cao was overjoyed upon hearing this.

He ordered Liu Ye to join the military for Sikong, and the craftsmen in the concentration camp built catapults overnight.

This improved catapult has a huge increase in range and power.After thinking about it, Cao Cao changed the catapult chariot into a thunderbolt chariot.

Ten days later, more than [-] improved Perak vehicles were launched simultaneously.

The earth mountain in Yuan Jun's camp suddenly turned into a sea of ​​flames...

Seeing that Yuan Jun's archers were useless, Cao Cao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

That night, he hosted a banquet in the army to honor Liu Ye.

During the banquet, Cao Cao asked seemingly unintentionally, "Zi Yang, you came here just now, do you know what Cao Peng is doing in prison now?"

"I once heard General Zixiao say that after Cao Peng was imprisoned, he was very calm.

A few days ago, Deng Shusun returned from Xuzhou and visited him several times.Later, I was looking for books everywhere, looking for "East View of Han Ji"... I happened to have a few of this book in my hand, so I handed it over to Jun Shi to send it over.On weekdays, he just read books and practiced boxing.

It is said that he was still in prison training the guards of Fei Yan who was in prison with him...

This kid has such a big heart, he didn't panic at all after getting into such a big disaster. "

Cao Cao smiled and said nothing, and did not answer Liu Ye's words.

That night, he found Guo Jia and Cheng Yu, and after discussing business matters, he suddenly asked: "Zhong De, the case of General Fu Guo has been dragging on for a long time, why is there no result yet?"

Cheng Yu was startled, and thought: If you don't speak, who can make the decision?
But he thought so in his heart, but he couldn't say it out.

So he laughed and said: "I think it's because the general of Fuguo has a special status, so it's not easy to make a judgment."

"General Fuguo disturbs discipline and breaks the law, which is a death penalty... What's wrong with the sentence?
Cao Afu acted recklessly, broke into private houses, and killed several people in a row. The evidence of the crime is solid... In my opinion, both of these two people are guilty of the most heinous crimes, and they should be executed! "

Cheng Yu was shocked when he heard this.

He was a little puzzled why Cao Cao suddenly wanted to kill Cao Peng.

Just as he got up to persuade him, he was pulled by Guo Jia.

Turning his head to look, he saw Guo Jia gently shaking his head towards him, which clearly meant to say, don't persuade him!

"As ordered!"

The words of persuasion turned into a promise when they reached his lips.

After Cheng Yu and Guo Jia left the big tent, Cheng Yu couldn't help asking: "Feng Xiao, you and Deng Ji have a close friendship, and you have always liked Cao Peng.

Why today's lord wants to kill Cao Peng, but you won't let me persuade him? "

Guo Jia smiled slightly, looked at no one left and right, and said softly: "My lord is not trying to kill Ah Fu, but actually forcing His Majesty to express his position."

"Oh?"

"No matter what, Ah Fu's murder is a fact, and no one can erase it.

If my lord excuses Ah Fu, those Qingliu will surely accuse her... His majesty has been reluctant to stand up for a while, so my lord is also trying to force his majesty to come forward.Don't worry, Ah Fu will be fine!If Ah Fu has three strengths and two weaknesses, then the general of Fuguo will definitely be buried with him. "

A cold light flashed in Guo Jia's eyes.

Cheng Yuruo nodded and said, "I understand now that you said that!"

"Ha, so, don't be nervous, nothing will happen."

Will it be all right?
Guo Jia sneered in his heart: I'm afraid the one in the palace might not be able to sit still...

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++
"Cao Cao, do you want to kill Cao Peng?"

When Han Emperor Liu Xie got the news in the palace, he was a little unwilling to believe it.

In his opinion, Cao Cao will definitely try to excuse Cao Peng.Then, he can stand on the height of morality and severely suppress Cao Cao.

how do you know...

"Leng Fei, did you hear me right?"

Leng Fei bowed and said: "Your Majesty, it is absolutely true."

"Where did the news come from?"

"Shangshu Mansion... It is said that Cao Cao, in the name of Sikong Mansion, sent a letter to inquire about Shangshu Mansion.

It is said that Cao Peng murdered, the evidence of the crime is solid, why has there been no verdict yet?He also said that although Cao Peng was his nephew, he broke the law and his crime was unforgivable.He said that at the beginning of the Shang Dynasty's reform, there were thousands of people who did not obey the law.The crown prince violated the law, and Shang Jun said that the law was not good, so he committed the crime himself, so he punished the crown prince.Today, Cao Cao is not the Lord of Shang, and Cao Peng is not the Crown Prince, so he should impose the law and be punished according to his crime..."

Emperor Han couldn't help being silent.

Cao Peng murdered, he should be punished according to the law.

Na Fuwan disturbed the imperial court, broke the law, and was punishable by all families according to the law.

After all, Cao Peng's murder was a personal act, but what Fu Wan did was shaking the foundation of the country.

Emperor Han took a breath, Cao Cao was planning to abandon Cao Peng, and he wanted to punish him!
"Queen...understand?"

"I don't know yet."

Emperor Han lingered on the jade steps, frowning.

I am afraid that this matter cannot be hidden from Empress Fu.

At that time, Empress Fu will definitely try her best to save Fu.Liu Xie originally wanted to wait and see the development of the situation, and then make a move when the time is right.

but don't want to...

"Leng Fei, immediately issue an edict to the Sikong Mansion."

"Here!"

"Although Cao Peng committed a heinous crime, there is a reason for the incident, and although he should be punished according to the law, there are reasons for it.

I ask Sikong to think twice before acting, and don't disappoint the pure and kind heart of a filial son.Capital crimes can be forgiven, living crimes are not forgiven... I think we should talk about it again. "

Neither Cao Cao nor Liu Xie talked about Fu Wan.

It seems that the debate revolves around Cao Peng's life and death, but in fact there are ulterior motives.

Of course Cao Cao didn't want Cao Peng to be killed, but he couldn't speak out.At the same time, Cao Cao also hoped to use this method to give Cao Peng a warning.

Liu Xie knew that if Cao Peng was killed, he would surely die after he fell down.

There are not many people available around him, Fu Wan is not only his father-in-law, but also his humerus minister.

If he couldn't even save him after he fell down, wouldn't it be chilling for others?Therefore, Liu Xie must save Fu, but to save Fu, first of all, Cao Peng cannot be killed.This is a prerequisite. If Cao Peng is killed, he will surely die in the end...

Cao Cao threatened Liu Xie with his life.

Liu Xie used Cao Peng's life in exchange for his life...

This is a small game, but no one knows what the final result will be.

After the pardon was issued, Zhongmou fell into silence again.

Cao Cao seemed to be busy with Yuan Shao's offensive and had no time to worry about this matter for a while.What about Liu Xie?After the pardon was issued, there was silence immediately.

Back and forth, a round of confrontation.

There is no smoke, but murderous intent is hidden.

When Chen Qun received Xun Yu's letter, he couldn't help but sigh secretly.

The confrontation between the Han family and the Cao family has begun...

On the surface, it seems that there is no distinction between equals, and it is difficult to say who is superior and who is inferior.

But in fact, Cao Cao has already taken the initiative.Every reaction of Liu Xie has been watched by Cao Cao. The emperor of the Han family has gone through hardships and is indeed thoughtful.However, he met a more savvy opponent!Compared with Cao Cao, the emperor is too immature.

Chen Qun took out a letter from the desk.

The letter was written by Cao Peng.

In the letter, Cao Peng put forward an idea: In view of the increasingly close contacts between Haixi and Luoyang, and more and more commercial activities, the amount of transactions is increasing, why not form a sister city between Luoyang and Haixi, and communicate with each other. , can facilitate the trade between the two cities.

From Haixi to Luoyang, from Luoyang to Haixi.

Regardless of land and water, the traffic is extremely inconvenient.

road?Obviously unlikely!And it is even more impossible for merchants to gather in front of the guard every time and carry out guards, which is also subject to great constraints.

How can we guarantee the security of the payment?

Cao Peng put forward a concept: government credit.

Chen Qun read Cao Peng's letter very seriously, and couldn't help being surprised by Cao Peng's strange idea...

Government credit?

"Berda, what do you think?"

Chen Qun handed the letter to a young man beside him, and asked in a deep voice.

The young man is dressed in white clothes, wearing a Jinxian crown on his head, with sword eyebrows and bright eyes, extremely handsome.

He is eight feet tall and has a slightly thin build.There was a sense of generosity and stability between his eyebrows, he took the letter and read it carefully.

The young man, named Sima Lang, courtesy name Boda, was a son of Sima in Wen County.

When it comes to Sima Lang, not many people know about it.But if you mention his brother Sima Yi, he is very famous.

However, in the fifth year of Jian'an, Sima Yi was still studying in Luhunshan, while Sima Lang was already famous all over the world.He is 29 years old this year, but he has been through the ups and downs of his career. At the age of 22, Cao Cao recruited him as an official of Sikong because of his virtuous name.Later, he paid homage to Cheng Gaoling...but when his official career was going smoothly, a serious illness forced him to resign temporarily and go home to recuperate.Now, he was requisitioned to become an official again, and he was appointed as the county magistrate of Xudu.

The former magistrate of Xu County was sentenced to death because of the outbreak of Niu Xian's case, and he was executed at Caishikou.

Don't look at Xun Yu's hesitation about the case of Fu Wan and Cao Peng, it's because the two are too involved.A small county magistrate of Xudu, Xun Yu didn't even need to ask Cao Cao to kill him.This sad county magistrate of Xudu was decapitated just because he stood in the wrong team, and his entire family was raided.Later, Xun Yu recommended Sima Lang to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao readily agreed...

When Sima Lang went to Xudu this time, he happened to pass through Luoyang.

He also had a good relationship with Chen Qun, so he stayed in Luoyang for two days.

After reading Cao Peng's letter, Sima Lang fell into deep thought.

"Speaking of it, Cao Youxue's idea is not bad.

Creating money bills and conducting settlement transactions between governments does save a lot of trouble.However, this matter may not be easy to do. If Changwen uses this strategy, he might as well ask more people for advice.Especially Cao Youxue, after you come up with a complete charter, you will report it to Sikong.However, Cao You learned a lot of tricks... Commercial money?Hehe, no wonder Zhongda wrote to praise him. "

Chen Qun also smiled and put the letter away.

"Boda is serving as the county magistrate of Xudu this time, so I can just go and meet him."

Sima Lang shook his head, "I'm afraid it's a bit difficult. Before the case is concluded, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to see him... However, in Xudu, I'm not afraid that I won't have a chance."

"Boda!"

"kindness?"

"What do you think will happen to Youxue and General Fuguo this time?"

After Sima Lang pondered for a long time, he said solemnly: "In my opinion, both sides will suffer."

"how do I say this?"

"I'm talking about losing both sides, not Sikong, but Cao Peng and General Fuguo.

I heard that Cao Peng cut off the role of General Fuguo, and even without Cao Peng's restraint, it would not be easy for him to continue serving as General Fuguo.

In the end, it is very likely that he will be dismissed from office, at least in Mingli, he will not be able to set foot in the court again.

And the result of Cao Youxue may even become white.It's a pity that he made so many contributions, but in the end it was nothing but a pity! "

Chen Qun nodded, "What Boda said is very possible!"

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++
After entering May, the battle at Guandu gradually calmed down.

However, this calm is not two strikes, but a stalemate between the two sides after a series of head-on confrontations and a stalemate.

At this time, the generals can rest for a while, and the counselors take turns to appear on the stage.

On May [-]th, Cao Ren ordered Cao Yang to escort the grain and grass to Zhongmu.But on the way to transport the grain, he was ambushed... Cao Yang died in battle, and the grain and grass were burned.After Cao Cao heard about it, he was shocked.He hurriedly ordered people to inquire about the news, but Yuan Shao's general Han Xun led an army alone, sneaked into the rear of Guandu from the flank, and raided Cao Cao's food road.Cao Cao hurriedly ordered Cao Ren to send troops to destroy Han Xun, but several battles failed.

At the end of May, Cao Ren ordered Deng Ji, the chief of Meishan, to escort the grain and grass to Zhongmu.

Han Xun and Jiluoshan attacked again, trying to plunder the grain and grass...

However, he fell into Deng Ji's strategy.

Deng Ji was not in the army, and the chief escort of the food and grass was actually Wei Yan, the captain of Meishan.

And what is loaded on the car is not grain and grass, but all dead grass and sundries.When Han Xun's ambush broke out everywhere, Wei Yan immediately set fire to the grain cart.

Cao Ren personally led the army and surrounded Han Xun with Deng Ji.

In the rebellious army, Wei Yan cut Han Xun off his horse with a single blow...

Yuan Shao's plan to raid Liang Dao failed again.

In this way, the two sides continued to make ingenious schemes, and you came and went, and the fight was very enjoyable.

As time went on, the weather started to cool down.Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, neither of them could take down the other in one fell swoop, once again appeared calm.

July, early autumn!
Calculating the time, Cao Peng has been in prison for four months.

Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty issued an edict several times to question Cao Cao, ordering him to solve the case of Cao Peng and Fu Wan as soon as possible.

The time has dragged on for too long, and if it continues to delay, it seems that it will not be beneficial to both parties.In the end, Cao Cao and Liu Xie made a verdict after repeated wrangling.

After the general of the Fuguo was overwhelmed, he was dismissed from office and cut his rank, and only retained the post of Zhongsan doctor.At the same time, he was fined half a year's salary and thought about his mistakes behind closed doors.

Cao Peng murdered, although there was a reason for it, but the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime will not be forgiven.

Thinking of his outstanding achievements, so the merits and demerits are equal, he will be dismissed from the post of Yue cavalry school captain and the side door Sima in the palace, and retain the rank of cavalry captain, with a fine of three months.

At this point, a bloody conflict finally came to an end.

On the seventh day of July, the sun was shining brightly.

Cao Peng led Xia Houlan and others out of the prison door, closed his eyes, bathed in the early autumn sunshine, and greedily took a breath of free air.

He suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, "I, Cao Peng, am back again!"
