Cao Thief

Chapter 420 Xianbei
Leng Fei only felt his eyes go dark.

The body of the 'sheep' smashed towards him with tremendous force.Leng Fei knew that if he was hit by this 'sheep', even if he killed Cao Peng, it would be difficult for him to survive.Besides, he was not sure that he could kill Cao Peng.

The thin sword in his hand turned around, turning a stab into a pick.

The rapier was raised obliquely, and at the same time as the point of the sword pierced the body of the 'sheep', the wrist flicked suddenly, and the huge body of the 'sheep' was immediately thrown out.

I have to say that Leng Fei is indeed a good player.

On the body of the 'sheep', there was a mighty force, but he easily dissolved it into nothing.It's just that the 'sheep' was picked away, and Leng Fei's face suddenly became very ugly.I saw Cao Peng raised one hand, pointing at him from a distance, with a strange smile on his face, and with the sound of the spring, eight steel crossbows shot out in succession.

Leng Fei knew that Cao Peng had such a crossbow in his hand, so he was on guard.

It's just that the distance Cao Peng launched this time is much closer than the distance on the boat last time.Leng Fei waved the long sword in his hand, only hearing the sound of ding ding ding.Six of the eight steel crossbows were knocked away by him, leaving two steel crossbows, one brushed against his cheek, leaving a wound that immediately made Leng Fei bleed all over his face; Right in the middle of his crotch mount.

The war horse hissed sadly and fell to the ground with a plop.

Leng Fei jumped up suddenly on the horse, and was about to make a move when he saw several horsemen galloping towards him.

King Han De and Shuangxianghu (Flying Guards) all held a hand ballista in their hands, and they rushed towards them like the wind with the momentum of the horse and the prestige of the horse.Before the cold flying man landed, 24 steel crossbows exploded in the air like a rainstorm of pear blossoms.

Although the rapier in Leng Fei's hand danced in a hurry, he couldn't block the attack of 24 steel crossbows at the same time.Fluffy, the steel crossbow sank into the flesh, making a series of muffled sounds.Leng Fei's body trembled one after another, and he was shot by six steel crossbows.Each steel crossbow carried enormous force, almost submerged.Leng Fei snorted, the moment his feet hit the ground, his legs went limp, and he almost knelt on the ground.Fortunately, he was quick-witted and rolled over like a lazy donkey. After rolling backwards for several weeks, he was just about to stand up, but he felt as if his body was out of control.

There was no pain at the place where the arrow hit, but a tingling feeling instead.

poisonous!

Leng Fei shuddered and looked up at Cao Peng.

"mean……"

Before he finished speaking, the liger had already rushed to him.The huge impact force, like a golden sledgehammer, slammed into Leng Fei's body fiercely.Leng Fei hesitated about the poisoning, his body functions degraded a lot, and he had no time to dodge.This time the impact made Leng Fei scream, and his body flew up in an instant...

Blood mist was sprayed out of the mouth, and the moment the body fell to the ground, all the bones in the whole body seemed to be knocked apart.

"Despicable?"

Cao Peng replied coldly: "You are allowed to assassinate, but I am not allowed to use poison?
Leng Fei, I knew you wouldn't let it go, but you didn't think about it, if I didn't kill you, wouldn't it be hard to sleep and eat in the future? "

"you……"

"Dead early and reincarnate early, don't think about being a eunuch in the next life!"

While talking, Cao Peng urged the horse forward.

The iron hoof of the liger trampled fiercely on Leng Fei's chest, and there was a series of rattling sounds. Leng Fei's breastbone was trampled and crushed, his eyes were wide open, and the whole person looked at Cao Peng as if he was dying, and twitched twice. After that, there was no more sound.

The number one assassin around Emperor Han died on the Shuofang Grassland just like that.

As for Cao Peng, the living Leng Fei might make him feel a bit scruples; but the dead eunuch...that is just an eunuch.The moment the liger's iron hoof crushed Leng Fei's breastbone, the name Leng Fei no longer had any meaning.

He has more important things to do...

For example, grab a sheep!
Leng Fei's assassination, from the beginning to the end, only took a few breaths of time.

The moment Jian Guang disappeared, Liu Guang suddenly stood up, his hands clenched into fists, his body trembling slightly.

Immediately, the long hiss of a liger like a dragon singing and a lion's roar came from a distance, causing tens of thousands of horses to scream.

A faint yellow shadow rushed out, and the knight on the horse picked up the 'sheep' body from the ground, and hurried away towards the distance...

Liu Guang knew that Leng Fei had failed!
The anger in my heart is fleeting.

Liu Guang didn't feel too much anger, but more of a kind of sadness.

The death of the Han Dynasty?

Could it be the death of the Han Dynasty?
A little Cao Peng survived the assassination by a master like Leng Fei three times in a row and killed Leng Fei.Could it be that Cao's luck is so strong, so strong that he has already become a master on his side, and he can't help Cao Peng.Leng Fei's death, His Majesty should have his arm broken.Of course, based on Liu Guang's understanding of Emperor Han, he might not be too sad when Leng Fei died.He was a man without grace. Situ Wang Yun was so loyal to him back then, but after Wang Yun died, Emperor Han did not express much sadness.Today is Leng Fei, so who will be next?
Liu Guang felt a trace of despair in his heart...

Liu Bao's triangular eyes narrowed, looking at Cao Peng's back, also a little confused.

Is it really right to choose the Han Dynasty?
He can't tell now...

When Liu Guang found him, he promised him the position of Da Chanyu.

Liu Bao also believed that, no matter what, the world was still ruled by the Han family. Even if Cao Cao served the emperor to order the princes, he was still a courtier of the Han family after all.Going to Cao Cao at this time is just icing on the cake, it is better to assist Emperor Han in exchange for more benefits.However, the power of Emperor Han seems to have spent a lot of thought, but in the end he couldn't kill a single Cao Peng. Is there really hope for the Han family?At least in Liu Bao's view, it was a little unclear.

Perhaps, I should get in touch with Cao Cao's people.

In the distance, a bonfire was lit.

After Cao Peng brought the 'sheep' to the finish line, he threw the body of the 'sheep' vigorously, and it was still on top of a tent.

In an instant, the herdsmen burst into cheers, which made Liu Bao suddenly make up his mind.

Just as he was about to step off the high platform, he suddenly saw a galloping horse in the distance.

A Hun general rushed to the high platform, got off his horse, knelt on the ground on one knee, and shouted out of breath, "King Zuo Xian, something is wrong."

Liu Bao was startled, stepped forward quickly, and asked doubtfully, "What happened?"

"Just now, just now... Tanzhe led a thousand Xianbei iron cavalry and suddenly rushed into the king's tent. The three princesses, mother and son were taken away by Tanzhe, and the king's tent suffered heavy losses. The son who stayed behind in the king's tent was almost wiped out , was killed by Tan Zhe."

Liu Bao only felt a buzzing sound in his head.

"Tan Zhe, how dare you send troops to beat me? Where is he now?"

"King Zuoxian, after Tan Zhe attacked the king's tent, he took people away... probably in the direction of Shizuishan."

"Wow..."

Liu Bao jumped into a rage, and shouted sharply: "If I don't kill Tan Zhe, I swear I won't be a human being."

While talking, he didn't bother to greet Hu Chuquan, he stood on the high platform and shouted sharply: "Boys, get on your horse immediately and follow me to chase Tan Zhe."

Hu Chuquan's face darkened, but he didn't stop him.

And Liu Guang's heart couldn't help but feel that this matter should have something to do with Cao Peng.

Who is Tan Zhe?
The nominal Xianbei western master has actually been reduced to an ordinary tribal master.His strength is far from Liu Bao's opponent, but he suddenly ran thousands of miles away. If there is no one to provoke him, Liu Guang will never believe it.

Liu Guangke remembered that when he left Shizuishan before, Cao Peng had rescued a trilogy of Tanzhe.

But should I tell Liu Bao about this?

Liu Guang raised his eyes and looked down the stage. In the distance, Cao Peng rode his horse and galloped, with his hands raised above his head...

That's all, even if this matter is related to Cao Peng, I have no evidence.Besides, Liu Bao dare to provoke him now?

Thinking of this, Liu Guang couldn't help feeling a little sad.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++
Due to Tan Zhe's sudden attack, the sheep picking contest ended in a hurry.

Enraged, Liu Bao raised his soldiers and horses, ready to go to war against Tan Zhe.But Hu Chuquan accelerated the negotiation with Liu Guangtian Yu.

In any case, the Han Dynasty at this time, because of the existence of Cao Cao, always maintained a slight threat to the Hu people.It is also for this reason that the two sides quickly reached an agreement, and decided that the Southern Huns would hold Tadun's Karasuma in the north, so that they could not continue to help the Yuan brothers.Correspondingly, after Cao Cao pacified Hebei, he would open the markets of the Kucha vassal states to provide the Xiongnu with needed weapons and other materials, and the Xiongnu would need to provide war horses to supply Cao Cao.

All obstacles seemed to disappear overnight.

At this moment, news suddenly came from Danhan Mountain that Ke Bineng's men and horses were found.

Can Kebi want to go to war with the Southern Huns?

In connection with Tan Zhe's attack on Zuo Xianwang Liu Bao, everyone had such an idea...

Even Liu Guang thought that Tan Zhe's attack on Liu Bao had nothing to do with Cao Peng.This is more like a joint operation of the Xianbei people. He attacked in order to cooperate with Ke Bineng.You know, before Tan Zhe went to the royal court to ask Ke Bineng for help.Although it was rumored that Ke Bineng did not agree in the end, the truth... probably only they themselves know.

After all, Ke Bineng and Tan Zhe are both from Xianbei.

When Tan Shihuai was alive, they were once one...

After Tan Shihuai died, He Lian succeeded to the throne.It's a pity that Helian is greedy and lustful, far inferior to Tan Shihuai's brilliance and martial arts.Not a few years after he succeeded to the throne, Helian was killed.He Lian has a son named Qianman.After Helian's death, Qianman was still young, and after losing the fight with Cong's elder brother, he disappeared.And Xianbei split immediately.

Who dares to say that Kebi will not help Tan Zhe because of this family friendship?
Who can be sure that Tan Zhe didn't suddenly lead his troops to attack Liu Bao's camp in order to cooperate with Ke Bineng's actions?
It's just that Liu Guang couldn't figure it out: Ke Bineng is now fighting Yan Youli, the master of eastern Xianbei, and the outcome has not yet been decided. Why is he so eager to start a war with the Xiongnu?Could it be that Ke Bineng also valued Shuofang?

In short, Liu Guang was a little puzzled.

Since the Huns were about to go to war, the alliance did not last long.

Because Hu Chuquan discovered the traces of the Xianbei people in his old nest, he was anxious, ended the alliance in a hurry, and led his troops to leave.

Qubei must also rush back to Shoujiang City as soon as possible to avoid being attacked by Xianbei people.

But before leaving, Qubei left the tribal master Suo Nu under his command, and was responsible for protecting the mission to return to the Central Plains safely.

In Qubei's words, he once protected the Han Emperor from returning to the east, and now he should do his best for the safety of the Han family mission.

Liu Guang watched silently from the side, sneering in his heart.

He can be sure that Qu Bei has voted for Tian Yu.

On the day I left for Beilin, I came to the mission to say goodbye.

He ordered someone to fetch a brocade box, and handed it to Cao Peng with a smile, "Lieutenant Cao, I am in a hurry to go to Bei this time, so I did not bring anything good. This box was given to Captain Cao by Qubei. As a gift, I hope Captain Cao will like it."

After Leng Fei died, Cao Peng felt as if a big rock had been lifted from his heart.

He couldn't bear it before, and pretended to be sick to lure Leng Fei out.

Now that Leng Fei is dead, Liu Guang has lost the biggest weapon in his hand.And after Leng Fei's death, Liu Guang also showed a disheartened state.In the last few alliance negotiations, Tian Yu almost always came forward, while Liu Guang did not participate in the alliance again on the pretext of feeling unwell.On the contrary, Cao Peng took over the command of the guards again.

His first order after regaining control of the Guardian Army was to thoroughly investigate the Forbidden Army.

In his words, Leng Fei was able to assassinate himself again and again, which shows that he must have accomplices in the mission.In terms of guarding the army, Cao Peng can rest assured, but the forbidden army... is for the safety of Marquis Linyi, so it is necessary to conduct a thorough investigation of the forbidden army.The so-called thorough investigation is to directly take away the command of the Forbidden Army and place it under Cao Peng's rule.

Liu Guang did not express his refusal, but acquiesced to Cao Peng's move.

Afterwards, Cao Peng broke up the imperial army and incorporated them into the guard army, which was tantamount to completely emptying Liu Guang...

After hearing Qubei's words, Cao Peng couldn't help laughing.

He stretched out his hand to take the brocade box, seeing that in the big tent except Qu Bei, both Tian Yu and the deputy Zhou Liang were all his own people, so he opened the box generously.Inside the box, a layer of quicklime was spread, and a bloody human head was placed.

Cao Peng couldn't help squinting his eyes, and raised his head to look at Qu Bei.

Fu Jun!

This turned out to be Fu Jun's head...

Previously, Tian Yu had already told Qubei the news that Fu Jun was undercover beside Qubei, and now Qubei used Fu Jun's head to show his loyalty to Cao Cao.Fu Jun is Liu Guang's man, and even Empress Fu's younger brother...

Going to Bei and killing Fu Jun also means that the relationship between him and the Han Dynasty will be completely severed.

Cao Peng couldn't help laughing, "I like this gift from Youxian King very much... But there is a saying in my Han family, which is called coming but not reciprocating. Since King Youxian gave me such an expensive gift, how could I not express it? "

As he spoke, he ordered Wang Shuang to fetch a dragon sparrow ring and give it to Qu Bei.

This dragon sparrow ring was made by Cao Ji himself, and it is extremely sharp.The Huns have three good things in life: good horses, good wine, and good weapons.Compared with these three good things, beauty is even inferior.Go to Bei to take over the Longque Dahuan, and I am extremely happy.

After Qubei left, the mission was ready to evacuate Shuofang.

Since Hu Chuquan and Qu Bei had left, while Liu Bao was busy preparing for the battle against Tan Zhe, the withdrawal of the mission was rather deserted, leaving Shen Tu Ze almost silently.

Zonu, the master of the Xiongnu tribe, led 1000 people to escort the mission away.

It was peaceful along the way, without encountering any twists and turns.However, everyone could feel the strong smell of gunpowder filling the air.The battle between Liu Bao and Tan Zhe was imminent, which made many people feel uneasy.

From Shentuze to Shizuishan, people who fled to Hexi were often seen along the way.

On the third day after leaving Shuofang, the mission stayed in an abandoned market... After Cao Peng inspected the camp, he was just about to go back to the army tent to rest when he saw Tian Shao hurried over and greeted Cao Peng from a distance: "Lieutenant Cao, Deputy Envoy Tian has an urgent military situation, so he ordered the captain to go immediately."

Hearing this, Cao Peng and Tian Shao hurried to the military tent, and as soon as they entered the big tent, Cao Peng asked, "Guorang, what happened?"

Tian Yu looked at Cao Peng in a daze, and said softly: "I just got the news that Huchuquan was ambushed by Xianbei people on his way back to Danhan Mountain, and all 800 people with him were killed. Huchuquan was also killed by Xianbei general Samad Khan." ..."
