Cao Thief

Chapter 397 Linhe Assassination

Speaking of which, Cao Peng didn't know Liu Guang at all.

And what he can be sure of is that in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, there is absolutely no such Linyi Hou, a clan member of the Han Dynasty.

How much truth has been buried in history?

The existence of Han dogs made Cao Peng start to feel a little shaken.

This guy, who can survive many ordeals, and has been standing firmly in front of Emperor Han, is by no means a kind person.At least, although many people knew about Liu Guang, most of them thought he was a clown who won the favor of Emperor Han by fighting dogs.Even among the clan members of the Han Dynasty, not many people really cared about Liu Guang.

Back then, Cao Peng met Liu Guang because of a dog fight.

In the blink of an eye, eight years have passed, and the Han Chinese dog of the past has gradually come to the fore, and sooner or later it will become a heartache...

Liu Guang made a murderous move against Cao Peng.

Similarly, Cao Peng also had a trace of killing intent towards Liu Guang.

When Tian Yu told Cao Peng that Liu Guang officially took over the mission, Cao Peng immediately realized that the confrontation between the two was about to begin.

That night, Cao Peng took over the guarding army with the post of conscription Qiang Xiaowei.

Fortunately, among the guards, there are quite a few people who know Cao Peng's name.Especially those who have participated in the battle of Guandu know that this Cao Peng is the minister who beheaded Yan Liang on the white horse, and later executed Wen Chou, and captured Zhang He Gao Lan.Even Gan Ning, the current partial general and deputy governor of tiger and leopard cavalry, came from Cao Peng's tent, and his ability can be seen.

Therefore, no one objected to Cao Peng's military power.

The next day, Cao Peng put on his armor and straddled his horse.

When Liu Guang and Zhou Liang walked out of the camp, when Zhou Liang saw Cao Peng in front of the army, he couldn't help showing surprise...

"Vice Envoy Tian, ​​who is he?"

"Cao Peng, the captain of the Qiang army, is also the chief guard of the army on this mission."

"Ah? Why didn't I know?"

Tian Yu sneered, "I didn't know the Marquis of Linyi was here."

On the surface, Liu Guang claimed that he was ordered by the Holy Spirit, and he chased him overnight from Xudu.In fact, everyone tacitly knew it, and it was impossible for Tian Yu to break it.Since you, Marquis of Linyi, were able to catch up from Xudu, why couldn't Cao Peng come from Xudu?

Everyone is not a fool, just understand some things in your heart.

Zhou Liang's fat cheeks twitched slightly, and he looked up at Cao Peng, showing a bitter smile.

This time, it really won't be too easy...

At the same time, Liu Guang was looking at Cao Peng.The two looked at each other for a while, and saw Liu Guang suddenly urged his horse forward, and he came to Cao Peng.

"Youxue, we meet again!"

"Yeah, I never thought that Marquis Linyi would be here."

"This mission is full of difficulties, and Lao Youxue has to worry a lot."

"This is the end of the duty, please don't worry about it, Marquis of Linyi."

Liu Guang laughed loudly, "Youxue, you misunderstood...I'm not saying that I need protection, but please take care of me."

When Cao Peng heard this, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

But there was still a smile on his face, and he cupped his hands and said, "What I meant just now is that Marquis of Linyi, please don't worry about me. Shuobei is cold, but Marquis of Linyi was born in a heavenly family, so you need to be careful, don't catch the wind and cold." ..."

Liu Guang smiled, turned his horse and left.

"Ah Fu, this Liu Guang looks different today from the day before yesterday."

"Well... I stimulated him the day before yesterday, probably because I stabbed him hard. This guy looks more calm than the day before. I guess he has murderous intentions towards me. Shi Yuan, you have to be more careful, don't worry about it." Follow this man's way."

Pang Tong nodded in response, and took another look at Liu Guang's back.

Cao Peng called Wang Shuang over and whispered a few words in Wang Shuang's ear, and Wang Shuang withdrew immediately.

In the past, Liu Guang gave Wang Shuang to Cao Peng.

It can be seen that in Liu Guang's heart, Wang Shuang is just an ordinary dog ​​slave, not worth mentioning at all.So much so that Liu Guang failed to recognize Wang Shuang even after meeting each other several times.Cao Peng told Wang Shuang to follow Pang Tong and protect him.

As for Tian Yu...

It is estimated that Liu Guang will not do anything to him!
But for some reason, Cao Peng always felt that he seemed to overlook something.

Just looking at Liu Guang's figure, he couldn't think of a reason.He simply let out a long breath, and secretly said: Soldiers come to block, water comes to fill... Let me see, you, Marquis of Linyi, who has never appeared in history, what methods you have.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++
After dawn, the mission set off again.

Cao Peng ordered Hande to open the way ahead and Pang Tong to hold back the rear.

He led his own troops to sit in the central army, separated from the imperial army, and guarded the missions in chariot battles.More than a hundred chariots and horses left Fengyi Mountain in a mighty way, and under the scorching sun in early summer, they slowly marched towards the northern sea...

For two days in a row, nothing happened.

Two years before Yanxi, the Qiang Hu was rampant in Fengyi Mountain.

Among them, Xianling is the most tyrannical, colluding with local tyrants and raging Liangzhou.At that time, Duan Jiong, a Guzang native of Wuwei, Jia Xu's fellow villager, was the general protecting the Qiang. He ordered 3 people to fight the Xianlings in a decisive battle at the foot of Fengyi Mountain. He was granted the title of Marquis of the capital.Only later, because of the chaos of the party, Duan Jiong took refuge in Wang Fu, the then Quan eunuch, and was cast aside by scholars.This was also the sorrow of the scholars at that time.Either take refuge in Quan Eun, or be persecuted... In the second year of Guanghe, Wang Fu was executed, and Duan Jiong was imprisoned for it.

Although there were court ministers, such as Zhonglang General Huang Fusong, Lu Zhi and others pleading for mercy, they were still ordered to commit suicide by drinking poison.

However, Duan Laozi's name is well-known in Xiliang.

Even today, although there are occasional beards in the Anding area, they are not blazing.

The mission went all the way north and arrived in Fuping on April 21.

It was getting late, and according to the previous plan, they would cross the river at Fuping Ferry, and then go north to Shizuishan.

After passing Shizuishan, it is considered to have entered the Hu District.

And the control power of the Han Dynasty, even if it completely disappeared after Fuping crossed the river...

"Guorang, it's getting late, it's not appropriate to cross the river."

"If we don't cross the river now, we will definitely have to delay another day tomorrow. According to the plan, we have to leave Shizuishan before the 25th. At that time, Huchuquan will send troops to meet us outside Shizuishan. I'm afraid it will be bad if we go late."

"Is that so..."

Cao Peng scratched his head, glanced at the long convoy at the ferry, and frowned.

He didn't want to cross the river at this time. Looking at it like this, it would take at least midnight to cross the river.The main reason is that there are too many car battles, and crossing the river is relatively troublesome.On the big river, there are no bridges, and the only way to get across is by ferry.

But what Tian Yu said made sense.

Every day of delay brings more trouble.

Cao Peng thought about it for a while, and said in a deep voice: "In this case, the country asks you to lead a group of troops to cross the river first, and I will guard here. After all the chariots have crossed the river, I will go there... In this way, at least One more security."

Tian Yu thought for a while and nodded in response.

In this way, Tian Yu led his people to cross the river first, and after getting off the boat on the other side of the river, he set up a camp and lit the lights to show his safety.Afterwards, the car was passing by... Cao Peng ordered Han De to lead his troops to guard to pay attention to the safety around the ferry.Afterwards, he and Pang Tong boarded the embankment and looked at the surging river.Here is the upper reaches of the "Ji" bend of the Yellow River, which is commonly known as the Hetao area.

A folk proverb says: The Yellow River is full of harm, but the only thing that is rich is one.

That's it for this place.

Hetao is divided into two parts, East Tao and West Tao.

Shizuishan is the boundary, and the plain west to Qingtongxia is called Xitao; the area to the east of Shizuishan, which is mainly Shuofang County, belongs to Dongtao.The location where Cao Peng and others are located is the Xitao area.The Southern Xiongnu they were going to go to was located in Dongtao Shuofang County.Hetao in a narrow sense sometimes simply refers to "East Tao", Shuofang County.

"It's a pity that this great river and mountain is now owned by the Huns."

Cao Peng was talking to himself, and suddenly said to Pang Tong: "Sooner or later, I will step on Shuofang and drive out the Xiongnu and Xianbei people."

Pang Tong looked at Cao Peng in astonishment, not quite understanding why Cao Peng hated the Hu people so much.

However, he was thinking about something else.After observing for a long time, he said softly: "Ah Fu, if Mr. Cao takes back Haixi, what should you do?"

"Hmm...I haven't thought about this yet."

"If you want a horse to step on a plug, you must have a foundation.

And after losing Haixi, you also need to have a foothold... In the past, Mr. Mengchang also tried to cunning the three caves of rabbits. Why not learn from Youxue?In my opinion, this place is quite good. If Youxue can get this place in the future, he will be in an invincible position.

In Hexi, the land is fertile and the water and grass are luxuriant.

At that time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty set up a horse farm here, and only then did he achieve the feat of conquering the Huns.Only since then has this area been abolished, but the foundation remains.Why don't Youxue invite you to farm here? Even Cao Gong will definitely not refuse. "

When Cao Peng heard this, his heart couldn't help but move.

There are some words, just point to the end, don't need to say too much.

After Pang Tong reminded Cao Peng, he stopped talking.In about two hours, the car battle basically crossed the river.At the ferry, Liu Guang and Zhou Liang also boarded the ferry and walked slowly to the other side.Pang Tong looked around and said in a deep voice: "Ah Fu, take some people and cross the river first. I will guard here with King Han De and cross the river last."

Cao Peng took a look and found that there were only some imperial guards left on the ferry.

He thought for a while, nodded and agreed, and after exhorting Pang Tong a few words, he led a group of people to the ferry.

The palace people and the forbidden army have boarded the ship one after another.

However, one boat was more than half empty, so Cao Peng got off his horse and led his men onto that ferry boat.

Most of the lowly palace people in gray robes gathered at the stern of the boat.After Cao Peng and the others boarded the boat, two flying demons followed Cao Peng, stood on the deck of the boat, and signaled to the boatman to sail across the river...

The boat slowly left the ferry and headed towards the opposite bank.

The surface of the river in the Hetao area is about 200 meters, and the current is turbulent.The ferry did not dare to go too fast, so it could only proceed slowly.

Cao Peng stood on the deck, looking at the big river under the night.

Suddenly, he heard a commotion and noise from the stern, followed by someone shouting loudly: "Who are you?"

"The servant has urgent matters to ask Captain Cao."

A high-pitched voice came to Cao Peng's ears.

For some reason, Cao Peng suddenly had a creepy feeling.That voice, faintly familiar, seemed familiar...

When he turned around, he saw a handyman in gray approaching slowly!
