Cao Thief

Chapter 461 Hexi Second Bomb ([-])
Hongshui camp, the big tent of the Chinese army.

After Cao Peng sat on the desk, his eyes were closed and his face was calm.

Hao Zhao, Liang Kuan, and Jiang Xu sat on both sides, Cao Zhang and Cai Di stood behind Cao Peng, and Wang Shuangniugang was on duty outside the tent.

Liu Qing lowered her head and knelt in the center of the big tent.

At this time, he had figured out the origin of the third son, but he did not expect that he was the son of Da Sikong Cao Cao.

That Niu Gang is the nephew of Huben Zhonglang Dianwei, and his background is not small.

But in this big tent, neither Cao Zhang nor Niu Gang had even a seat.Cao Zhang is better, at least he can stand in the big tent.But Niu Gang... actually didn't even have the qualifications to be in the big tent, and was guarding outside the tent.

Liu Qing had heard about Cao Peng before.

But he didn't know what background this quiet young man in front of him had.

But now, he understands!
The background of this master is beyond his guess as a little Dubo.Even Cao Zhang can only act as his retinue, one can imagine how big Cao Peng's backing is.In the big tent, there was no sound, and Liu Qing didn't even dare to breathe.He didn't know what would happen next, but he was vaguely uneasy.

"Chief? Isn't that the grandson of Tan Shihuai?"

Cao Peng opened his eyes and asked.

"The leader has been dead for many years, how could he appear in Hexi?"

"Young master, this leader is not that leader."

Jiang Xu stood up, bowed and replied: "I think the 'Quitou' mentioned by Du Bo is Hongze Shikui. The Shikui are quite hustle and like to be called the leader, so the adults of the tribe are all called It is the 'head'. Kui Tou is what the Shikui tribe calls Shikui. Outside the tribe, it is often called the leader...In the early years, the last general dealt with the Shikui tribe. This person is arrogant and arrogant. Unruly, can be regarded as a major disaster on Hongze Muyuan. Shikui has been nomadic for generations, and it is said that it can be traced back to the Yongping period. In terms of qualifications, Shikui is older than Dou Lan...

Because of this, Shi Kui has never been convinced by Dou Lan.

A few years ago, because of a dispute with Dou Lan, he no longer obeyed Dou Lan's orders.

In name, this Shikui tribe is still a member of the Hongze Covenant, but in fact... this person is very arrogant and warlike, and has close contacts with Qianghu.It is said that this time when Dou Lan is rectifying Hongze, the Shikui tribe will be abolished and merged into the Gengjia tribe.But Shi Kui disagreed, and had a dispute with the Geng family tribe.In addition, he has been a nomad for many years and has no fixed place to live, so that the Geng family tribe has not taken him down... Dou Lan seems to have a headache for Shi Kui's tribe. "

Affiliated to Hongze, independent from Hongze...

After Jiang Xu's explanation, Cao Peng understood Shi Kui somewhat.

Gently rubbing his cheeks, Cao Peng asked suddenly: "Your name is Liu Qing, right?"

"Exactly."

Liu Qing hurriedly answered.

"You just said that when Shi Kui was evacuating, he mentioned a place called Hongshuitan?"

"Yes...but they spoke too fast, and there was a mixture of Hu and Han. I was a little dizzy at the time, so I couldn't hear the content clearly. However, I will never listen to the three words of Hongshuitan. Because they mentioned two So I was quite impressed. It’s just that the location of Hongshuitan is humble, but it’s not very clear, but it’s not too far away.”

"Oh?"

"When those men attacked Humble, they did not carry luggage.

In other words, they rode out lightly, so it shouldn't be too far to come to their lair.If Hongshuitan is their old nest, it must be near Hongshui. "

Cao Peng couldn't help laughing, "This fellow is also clever...

Jiang Xu, have you heard of the name of this red water beach? "

Although Jiang Xu and Liang Kuan are not from Hongze, they have been rangers for many years, so they are familiar with Hongze.

The two looked at each other, smiled wryly and shook their heads.

"Young Master, this is the first time my brother has heard of the word Hongshuitan."

Cao Peng couldn't help frowning, and tapped his fingers lightly.

After a long while, he suddenly said: "Go and ask the Hunu in the camp to see if anyone knows the location of Hongshuitan. I guess that Hongshuitan is not a Hanjia language, it may be a transliteration of local nonsense. Liu Qing was also a little confused at the time, so he thought it was Hongshuitan... Those old Hu slaves might know. Tell them, if anyone knows where this Hongshuitan is and is willing to lead the way, I can pardon his family's slave status .”

When Jiang Xu and Liang Kuan heard this, they immediately handed over their hands and took orders.

"Hao Zhao, set up your troops and horses, and get ready to attack."

Cao Zhang suddenly excitedly said: "Teacher, can I play?"

Cao Peng glanced at him, "Follow me, obey my orders, you can only fight when I let you fight...

Liu Qing, don't go back yet.

I will report this matter to Lianbao, and you will stay here for now and wait for my orders. "

"Humble, obey!"

Everyone got up and left one after another.

Cao Zhang ran out of the big tent in high spirits, and took Niu Gang to make preparations.

However, Cao Peng found that Cai Di seemed to be thinking, and kept silent.

"Cai Di, what's wrong with you?"

"Sir, I was wondering what the red water beach means?"

"Oh?"

"In the Xiongnu language, there is the word husu. If it becomes the Han dialect, it means yellow flowers... Husutan, could it mean this: a place full of yellow flowers? What if those people said husu instead of hongshui , then it may be more convenient to find it.”

Cao Peng was stunned!
For the first time since his rebirth, he discovered how important it is to master a foreign language.

Especially in this kind of place where Hu and Han live together, if you can understand the language of Qiang and Hu, you can definitely get twice the result with half the effort. Husu and hongshui, at first glance, are really similar.Just now Jiang Xu said that Shikui's tribe is very serious, so it is very likely that this will happen.Thinking of this, Cao Peng's eyes subconsciously narrowed into a line.

"Wang Shuang!"

"The end is here."

"Go and ask, is there a place with yellow flowers in its name around Hongshui County?"

"Here!"

Wang Shuang quickly took orders and left, only Cao Peng and Cai Di were left in the big tent.

"Cai Di, well done!"

Hearing Cao Peng's praise, Cai Di immediately smiled, looking very excited.

"Sir, I want to ask you something."

"Please tell me, sir."

"After Hongshui County is built, you can teach the Xiongnu dialect, okay?"

"what?"

Cao Peng took a deep breath, stretched out his hand and rubbed Cai Di's head, "Mr. is not an old-fashioned person, let alone a person who sticks to the rules and doesn't know how to adapt. Since I was ordered to appease Hexi, I will fight with Qianghu and Xiongnu in the future." Communication between them is essential. If possible, it is always a good thing for me to learn some nonsense.

Hehe, from now on, Mr. Cai Di will be the one to ask your nonsense! "

Cai Di seemed very excited, nodded repeatedly, but couldn't speak...

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++
As expected by Cao Peng, to the west of Hongshui County, between the Gengjia Tribe and Hongshui County, there is indeed a place called Huanghualin.It is said that it is a forest, but in fact there are many trees, but the overall terrain is still a plain.But the terrain is relatively low and covered with wormwood.In this low-lying jungle, there is a yellow plant that is said to be able to treat some common diseases, so some people call this place Huanghuatanzi...

At first, Jiang Xu and the others really didn't get a clue.

However, after Cao Peng asked them to use husu pronunciation, one Hu Nu thought of Huanghualin.

According to what Hu Nu said, the Yellow Flower Forest is indeed an easy hiding place.And most people don't pay much attention.

Cao Peng immediately ordered the Hu Nu to lead the scouts to investigate.

In order to reward the Hu Nu's cooperation, Cao Peng not only revoked the slave status of the six members of the Hu Nu family on the spot, but also gave them a tent for the six members of the Hu Nu family to live in.Such behavior also attracted the envy of many Hu Nu.Especially those who know Huanghualin, began to regret, why not be the first to stand up and cooperate?

After all, the status of slaves and civilians is vastly different.

But it was precisely because of this reward that the Hu slaves knew that this young General Cao Peng was a man who followed his word.

Moreover, he does not intentionally hate the barbarians.

As long as you are willing to cooperate with him and follow his rules, you can get a more comfortable living environment.

If the Hu slaves had some hostility towards Cao Peng before, this hostility has weakened a lot now.On the grassland, the law of the jungle is the most basic law of survival.Since he was captured and made a slave, it means that he has the ability.Everyone in Xiutu, in particular, has a more intuitive understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Han army.

Back then, Deng Fan led [-] Han troops, beating Tu Gehuqi to the point where he was almost crushed.

In the end, even their leader became a prisoner of others.

Xiutu betrayed Hongze first, so he had nothing to complain about.They can betray, so the Han army can also attack. This kind of thing is justified.It seems that as long as they cooperate with the Han army in the future, everyone in Xiutu will be free sooner or later.On that day, the work enthusiasm of everyone in Xiutu became very high, and the progress was completed ahead of schedule...

"You mean, Mr. Cao wants you to teach him the Hun dialect?"

Cai Yan put down the pen in his hand, looked at Cai Di suspiciously and asked.

Cai Di excitedly nodded his head, it could be seen that he was still a little excited...

"That's fine, why does Mr. Cao want to learn Hu?"

"Mr. said that since he wants to control Hexi, the people living in Hexi, whether they are Hu people or Han people, are the children under his rule. He said that he hopes to have friendly exchanges with the Hu people in Hexi, so he wants to Learn Huyu."

After hearing this, Cai Yan couldn't help laughing.

"This Mr. Cao is really interesting."

Since ancient times, it has only been heard that Hu people learn the Han language, but I have never heard of it. One parent official took the initiative to learn Hu language.

Although Cai Yan knew that Cao Peng was nicknamed Cao Sanpian and had a good reputation among scholars.

But in my heart, I still think that Cao Cao's appointment of Cao Peng as Beizhong Langjiang seems to be a bit of a joke.Beizhong Lang Jiang, Cai Yong also did it, but it was only when Cai Yong was a few dozen years old that he reached the height.And now, at the age of 21, Cao Peng has taken the position of General Beizhong... This makes Cai Yan, how can he really be convinced by Cao Peng?

Even if Cai Dibai and Cao Peng were chosen as his teacher, it was for the sake of Cai Di's future.

However, after hearing what Cai Di said today, Cai Yan really became interested in Cao Peng.

"A Meiguai."

"Auntie!"

"Take the few books that Auntie wrote two days ago, let's pay another visit to this little gentleman of your brother!"
