Cao Thief

Chapter 425
Hongze!Hugh Tuge!

Cao Peng's mind was almost filled with these two words.

If it is really the same as what Yin Feng said, then Hongze is undoubtedly the best place to rule.But it is too close to Wuwei, and it is in the central area of ​​the Qianghu territory.Once a conflict occurs, Hongze will inevitably bear the brunt.

The situation in Hexi is not as corrupt as that of Haixi back then, but it is more complicated.

How to get along with the Qiang Hu in Hexi is a big problem facing Cao Peng.So, no matter what, he had to go to Hongze.Only by seeing it with his own eyes can he truly understand the current situation in Hexi...

"Bear, I'm leaving right now."

"what?"

Deng Fan looked at Cao Peng suspiciously, and said softly: "In two days, the mission will arrive, why don't you wait for the mission to arrive?"

"No, there's nothing serious about the mission, so I don't need to bother to entertain... Besides, I don't have the ability to entertain.

When the time comes, you can order someone to escort Tian Fu so that they can cross the river safely, and you don't need to worry about other things.Fushi Tian is not a person who does not understand the severity, so he will definitely not blame him.By the way, after I leave, you will take good care of everyone Cai's mother and child on my behalf.When Deputy Envoy Tian and the others arrive, you will be considered as having completed the task by entrusting the mother and son of the Cai family to Deputy Envoy Tian. "

Deng Fan nodded: "I understand."

"In addition, the maintenance of Lianbao must not be slackened. At the same time, a small village will be set up in the Lingwu Valley to strengthen the security of the Shizuishan Pass. It is cold, and it is also the busiest season for the frontier. Although the Huns are in chaos now, they must be on guard. Moreover, if Xianbei dared to attack Huchu Spring, they also dared to cross Mobei and attack Hexi.

Your task is daunting, and it is important to arrange your defenses well before the immigrants arrive.

I think that Jia Liangdao is indeed a talent, you might as well discuss with him more, so that the task on your shoulders will be easier. "

"Here!"

Deng Fan stepped in to answer the order and expressed his understanding.

Cao Peng, on the other hand, ordered people to prepare for Hongze.

Cao Peng didn't intend to bring too many people with him this time, but he ordered Deng Fan to raise [-] cavalry troops and go with him.

In the barracks, military orders are like mountains.

Cao Peng had just issued an order, and the entire barracks moved quickly.

In order to ensure Cao Peng's safety, Deng Fan personally selected elite riders with excellent riding skills, while Cao Peng packed his luggage in the tent.All weapons must be carried in full, and there are all kinds of sundries at the same time, so I made a big bag full.For this reason, Deng Fan also specially selected two rough horses from the army, which were specially used by Cao Peng to carry sundries.

The curtain was lifted slightly, and a delicate figure flashed into the military tent.

"Young Master Cao, do you want to leave?"

Cao Peng looked up and couldn't help but startled.

"Master Cai, why are you here?"

He got up quickly and welcomed Cai Yan to sit down in the military tent.

"I'm about to send someone to inform me that I'm going to Hongze... Don't worry everyone, Cai. The person staying in Lian County is my sworn brother. He will take good care of your mother and child. When Deputy Envoy Tian arrives in two days, you Then you can go home."

"go home?"

Cai Yan smiled miserably, "I'm afraid that in the Central Plains, there is no place for me to stand."

"Master Cai, what do you say?"

Cai Yan smiled bitterly, but there was no excuse.

She changed the subject and asked softly: "Cao Zhonglang, I'm here, actually I want to ask you for help with something."

Cao Peng was stunned and said, "What's the matter?"

"I heard that Cao Zhonglang was talented in learning, especially in elementary studies. He wrote three articles, which were called strange essays, but?"

"Uh...it's true."

Cao Peng nodded with a smile, this kind of thing can't be hidden anyway, so it's better to answer it readily.

"I came here to ask Cao Zhonglang, can you give me a strange article?"

It turned out to be this matter!
Cao Peng smiled slightly, "What's the difficulty?"

As he spoke, he took out three rubbed and bound books from the accompanying package, and handed them to Cai Yan.

Talented women are always more interested in such things, so Cao Peng is not surprised.

Cai Yan got up, took the three books respectfully, and then bid farewell to Cao Peng.Cao Peng also sent Cai Yan out very politely, and the two of them walked one after the other without speaking.Seeing that he was about to walk out of the big tent, Cai Yan turned around suddenly, and Cao Peng bumped into one place before he could stop in time.Cai Yan let out a soft cry, and stepped back...unexpectedly, her feet staggered, and her body fell to the ground.Cao Peng quickly stretched out his hand to support Cai Yan.

It was early autumn, and the clothes were still thin.

Cao Peng held Cai Yan's arm with one hand, supported her body with the other, looked at each other, and suddenly froze...

Fortunately, Cai Yan reacted quickly and stood up straight.

It's just that the delicate dimple like pink jade, through a touch of blushing, said thank you, and ran out of the big tent as if fleeing.

Cao Peng didn't chase him out, but felt a little embarrassed.

Speaking of which, although Cai Yan's age is old, he is at a good age with charming charm.

Cai Yan, who has gone through countless hardships, has a charm that many women do not have... and the good family education she received since she was a child has added an intellectual beauty to her.Cao Peng was a human being in two lifetimes, and he didn't have that kind of hunger and thirst for female sex.Besides, he also has a beautiful wife and concubines in his family, so even if Cai Yan is beautiful, it is difficult for him to give birth to too many fond memories.

But I have to say that Cai Yan's beauty is more mature than Huang Yueying and Xia Houzhen.

Gently rubbing his temples, Cao Pengxuan put the matter aside.

After lunch, Cao Peng led an army of [-] cavalry, led by Yin Feng, and left the Lian County Barracks.

Wang Shuang, go with Cao Peng.

He considers himself Cao Peng's personal follower, now that Han De is not here, he naturally needs to follow Cao Peng.Originally, Cao Peng made him responsible for protecting Cai Yan's mother and son.But now in the barracks in Lian County, with Deng Fan and Jia Kui present, the safety of Cai Yan's mother and child is naturally not a big problem.Therefore, after Wang Shuang asked, Cao Peng immediately agreed.

Yin Feng has ordered people to go to Hongze to inform Liang Kuan and Jiang Xu.

He led the way, heading towards Hongze.Along the way, you can see nomadic herdsmen on the grassland from time to time. In this season of fertile grass and beautiful water, there are loud and clear singing from the leisurely horse herding grassland from time to time.

Hongze is three hundred miles away from Lian County.

Cao Peng and the others were not in a hurry, so their speed was not too fast.

Travel at sunrise and stay at sunset.

If he encounters local herdsmen on the way, Cao Peng will dismount from his horse and go over to ask for a bowl of wine, and find out what the herdsmen are saying by the way.

Along the way, I did learn a lot about Hexi's situation.

According to those herdsmen, many alien races gathered in this Hexi area.In addition to Qiang Hu, there are Huns, Xianbei, Di Hu, and Ding Ling Hu.Hujiehu, the Dayue clan, Yizhi, Shanshan, Cheshi and other aliens from the Western Regions.But if it is said that the most powerful people are not these barbarians and aliens.The strongest force in Hexi is Ma Teng's troops in Xiliang.Along the way, Cao Peng often heard a very familiar name from the herdsmen: Ma Chao!
Xiliang Jin Ma Chao, 28 years old, is in an extremely peak state.

He is the eldest son of Ma Teng, and it is said that he has unstoppable courage.The horse under the crotch and the gun in the palm are very famous in the Qianghu area.

In addition to Ma Chao, Ma Chao's cousin Ma Dai, Ma Tie, Ma Xiu, and Ma Teng are also called the Five Tigers.The Ma family has a high reputation in Hexi, and at the same time has close contacts with the Qiang and Hu. Even if there is a conflict between the Qiang and Hu, the Ma family will come forward to mediate.

For Cao Peng, he was not surprised to hear about Ma Chao.

What really surprised him was that many people seemed to know nothing about another hero of the Ma family.Pound... Along the way, Cao Peng even mentioned Pound on purpose, but no one knew about it.You know, Pang De is the number one fighter under Ma Chao. With his ability, even if he is not as famous as Ma Chao, no one should know about him.After asking all the way, no one had heard of Pang De's name, which made Cao Peng feel puzzled.

"My lord, who is this Pang De?"

Looking at Wang Shuang with a blank face, Cao Peng smiled, "Pang De, a Xiliang warrior, is unparalleled in loyalty.

People say that Ma Chao is good, but in my opinion, ten Ma Chao may not be worth one Pound.This person is a true hero. "

Yin Feng said aside: "Is the Pang De that Zhonglang mentioned, but Pang Lingming?"

"Oh, you know him?"

Yin Feng scratched his head, "I've only heard about this person. In the early years, this person was quite famous, but then there was no news... It seems to be five years ago. I vaguely remember that my brother Jiang Xu said At that time, the white horse bastard Qiang was making trouble in Cizhihequ, Jincheng prefect Han Sui asked Ma Teng for help, and Pang De was sent to Dayu Valley..."

"Big Elm Valley? Where is it?"

"It seems to be in the southwest of Jincheng County, near the rule of Baima Qiang."

Southwest of Jincheng County?

Doesn't that belong to the Qinghai area?

According to Yin Feng, it does not seem to be Ma Teng's territory, but Han Sui's rule in Xiliang.Cao Peng was no stranger to Han Sui, and he was one of the few in Liangzhou.In the Romance, he once joined forces with Ma Chao to attack Cao Cao, but was finally defeated by Cao Cao's divorce plan, and Han Sui then surrendered to Cao Cao.Throw such a titan to Jincheng County.And according to Yin Feng, the Great Elm Valley is almost considered a frontier wasteland, and being sent there can be regarded as being exiled.In other words, Pound was exiled by Ma Teng?How did Pang De provoke Ma Teng?
"The next time, Jiang Xu knew Pang De?"

"From what he said, he seems to have seen it before, but specifically... Zhonglang can ask Jiang Xu when he arrives at Hongze."

"Alright!"

"But speaking of it, Ma Mengqi is indeed brave, and I've heard of him before.

But if it is said that he is the number one hero in Xiliang, some people don't know...Jin Ma Chao is Qiang Hu's respectful name for Ma Chao.To say that Xiliang's number one warrior is not the five tigers of the Ma family.Young Master, have you ever heard of Yan Xing and Yan Yanming?This talent can be regarded as the number one champion in Xiliang.I heard that Ma Chao fought Yan Xing at the beginning, but he was almost killed by Yan Xing in the end. "

Yan Xing?

Cao Peng really didn't know this person!

Xiliang Brocade Ma Chao is so famous in later generations.

One of the five tiger generals in the state of Shu, he was on equal footing with Xu Chu and Zhang Fei.

And who is this Yan Xing?

Cao Peng frowned, and couldn't help looking at Yin Feng curiously...
