Cao Thief

Chapter 471

"Is Li Qi here?"

Cao Peng was leaning on the bed covered with white wolf fur cushions, and his fingers passed comfortably through the soft hair on Dabai's body.

"What do you think sir?"

"not see!"

Li Ru answered decisively without any hesitation.

He just came back from the west, and he was publicizing Cao Peng's past deeds outside.It has to be said that this guy deserves to be the number one conspirator next to Dong Zhuo back then.It's no wonder that Jia Xu didn't make his mark until after the Sanfu Rebellion.Maybe Li Ru is inferior to Jia Xu in terms of overall appreciation; but in detail planning, he is not necessarily inferior to Jia Wenhe.

Public opinion war!

This guy's move is similar to the public opinion war of later generations.

He led a group of Hunu and spread all kinds of news on the grassland, some of which were true and some of which were false, making it difficult to distinguish.

To build up Cao Peng's image by taking advantage of many people's mouths.

Although Cao Peng is famous in the Central Plains, but in Hexi...

Any material can be used, including Lu Bu, which has also become a pawn to set off Cao Peng.

This Li Ru is indeed unpredictable.Cao Peng secretly rejoiced and recruited Li Ru under his command.It can be seen that Li Ru lived comfortably in Hexi.She has started to grow her hair, and has taken in two orchids, which is an excellent phenomenon.

Today, the story of Cao Peng is spreading in this Hongze Muyuan, and even in the whole of Hexi.

In Cao Peng's view, the influence of this kind of public opinion is better than a hundred thousand soldiers.It's just that this requires a process, and the means are too single.No way, there are too few literate people these days.Otherwise, Cao Peng wouldn't mind coming up with some other tricks.But even so, Cao Peng discussed many follow-up plans with Li Ru.

Dou Lan convened eighteen tribal adults to discuss how to deal with Cao Peng, of course Cao Peng knew.

However, he was in no hurry.

Li Ru said to him: "Within ten days, there must be changes."

And now, the variable comes...

Of course he noticed Ma Teng's actions in Xiliang.

"Ma Shoucheng's heart is known to all passers-by."

Cao Peng said with a smile: "It wasn't for a day or two that he peeped at Hexi, and it suits his temperament to take this opportunity to get angry."

Now, Li Qi came to him.

On the surface it was a visit, but Cao Peng and Li Ru also knew the real intention.

But Li Ru believed that he should not meet Li Qi.

"However, Northwest Muyuan is facing the [-] Qiang Hu. If they fall out with Hongze, wouldn't it be putting Shiyuan in danger."

Li Ru laughed loudly and said, "I've heard the young master say that the phoenix is ​​amazing, but I haven't seen it yet.

Today Deng Wugeer and Shi Yuan have been operating in Northwest Muyuan for two months, longer than Hongshui County.He still has 700 soldiers and horses under his command. If he can't even deal with the mere Qiang Hu, he might as well go back to Jingzhou now. "

"But……"

"My lord, can Feng Chu send someone to ask for help?"

"Never."

"Where is Brother Deng Wu?"

"nor."

"With the plan of the fifth brother, how could it be possible not to know the benefits of the Northwest Pastoral Plains? He didn't send anyone back to ask for help, which shows that he is already prepared and doesn't need you to worry about it at all. This is to show the whole Hexi the bravery of the Heavenly Army. At that time, you just need to rest assured that there will never be any problems. From the perspective of Confucianism, why don't you leave Hongshui County temporarily?"

"leave temporarily?"

"Immigration from the imperial court has passed Fengyi Mountain and will arrive in Zhongwei soon.

The young master can bring someone to meet him, wouldn't it just save trouble?Hongze's gang of half-beards, in my opinion, don't pay any attention to them.After Li Qi came, just find someone to receive him, and Li Qi would naturally understand the young master's determination. "

Cao Peng's determination?
I'm not happy with Hongze's attitude!
But I will still help you defend the Northwest Pasture in accordance with the covenant.

As for other matters, you can deal with them yourself.If you want me to send troops, show the sincerity of you Hongze people!
This is Cao Peng's determination.

He needs to take this opportunity to warn Hongze and Ma Teng...

A big battle is undoubtedly the best trigger point.Cao Peng went to meet the immigrants, which showed his attitude of taking root in Hongze; at the same time, he was also warning Dou Lan that I know all the little tricks you play.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++
So Cao Peng shook his sleeves and left.

The Hongshui camp is temporarily handed over to Hao Zhao, assisted by Liang Kuan and Jiang Xu...

"General Cao is not in Hongshui?"

Li Qi was stunned, but soon understood the reason.

"In that case, let's go back."

"Grandpa, are you going back now? Then how do you explain to General Dou?"

Li Ding looked at Li Qi suspiciously, not quite understanding.

Li Qi smiled and said, "Now it's not how General Cao will explain to Dou Lan, but how I, from Hongze, should explain to General Cao."

"The grandson doesn't understand."

Li Qi rubbed Li Ding's head, and said with a smile: "In the future, I will walk around with General Cao more often to win over my feelings.

Look at that old guy Geng Qing, when he was in Hongshuiji, he yelled at General Cao, as if he would never give up.But he left Geng Lin in the camp instead of Geng Jun.Do you see the mystery of this? "

Li Ding tilted his head and thought for a long time, but he couldn't come up with a clue.

"Geng Qing, this is showing his favor to General Cao."

"what?"

"You should know that Geng Qing has two sons who are completely different.

In the past, Geng Qing liked Geng Jun more, and often ignored the existence of Geng Lin.But now... Geng Lin is a well-educated kid who has always yearned for the Central Plains.In your generation, he may be the person who has the deepest affection for General Cao.By keeping Geng Lin, Geng Qing is tantamount to expressing to General Cao: He has no malice towards General Cao.

Xiao Ding, you have grown up.

When thinking about things, be more thoughtful.

These old guys keep saying they want to avenge Shi Kui, but if they really want to send troops, who would dare to stand up?
In my opinion, it won't be long before this Hongze will change! "

Hongze, is the sky going to change?

Li Ding scratched his head, a little puzzled.

At least, he didn't see any signs of a change in the sky.However, he noticed that Hongze seemed to be huddling together, but in fact they had their own scheming.After all, he is young and doesn't have that much scheming.Li Ding couldn't see clearly what the tribal adults and those old guys were thinking.Most of the time, he takes things superficially.

In the past, he always believed that Hongze was united and harmonious.

But today, Li Qi lifted the veil over Hongze for him...

Cao Peng, can you really change the status quo in Hongze?

He shook his head abruptly, cursing himself in his heart: This is the autumn of Hongze's life and death, how can you think wildly?
Along the way, Li Ding seemed very silent.

And Li Qi didn't try to enlighten him anymore, because he knew in his heart that this was an inevitable process in Li Ding's growth.

In this way, the grandfather and grandson returned to Hongshuiji and told Dou Lan about the situation one by one.

Dou Lan didn't say anything, just said hard work, and urged Li Qi to return to the western pasture and get ready to fight Ma Teng.

Li Qi didn't say anything.

But Dou Lan felt many things.

Cao Peng's attitude reassures him, at least for now.But Cao Peng's dissatisfaction, he also clearly felt it.Even if we win the battle this time, I'm afraid that part of the benefits will have to be given to Cao Peng...

If not, I'm afraid Hongze will face even greater threats in the future!

"Tan Zhe, would you like to send troops to help?"

"Responding to my lord's words, Lord Tan doesn't seem to be very interested. Although he has gathered troops, he is not interested in sending troops."

Tan Zhe of Hongshagang has an ambiguous attitude, which makes Dou Lan more or less confused.

Of course Dou Lan is not very clear about the agreement between Tan Zhe and Cao Peng.It's just that before that, Tan Zhe and Hong Ze had cooperated several times, and they had some friendship with each other.Even if he is unwilling to help, doesn't that mean that Hongze can only face Ma Teng and Tang Ti?In my heart, I secretly cursed Shi Kui, you will not let us live in peace even if your mother is dead.

If Shi Kui hadn't attacked Cao Peng, Cao Peng's revenge would not have been triggered.

If Shi Kui hadn't been exterminated, the various ministries in Hongze would not have complained...

If it weren't for those people shouting to avenge Shi Kui, Ma Teng might not have dared to send troops under such circumstances.

In short, everything is caused by Shi Kui.

He is dead now, but he is still happy.However, his death left Hongze with countless future troubles.

At the same time, Dou Lan also secretly blamed Cao Peng.

You said that if you retaliate, you can retaliate. What kind of extermination of the genocide is going to be done, which will make everyone feel uncomfortable.Even if you can save Shi Kui's life and give it to me to chop off his head, you won't be in such trouble now...

But anyway, it happened.

After hesitating for a long time, Dou Lan finally made up her mind to mobilize troops and horses to fight Ma Teng!
He didn't believe that Cao Peng would just sit back and watch.

There are still his soldiers and horses in the Northwest Muyuan. Could it be that Cao Peng watched his soldiers and horses being wiped out by the Qianghu cavalry?

For the time being, there is no need to consider the issue of Hongshui County.

Let's deal with the [-] troops of Ma Teng and Tang Ti first, and then make other plans...

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++
Following Dou Lan's order, the entire Hongze began to act.

Regardless of whether you have completed the integration of the tribe or not, you must send troops and horses, ready to fight Ma Teng to the death.

However, the general sent by Ma Teng this time is quite strange.

In the past when troops were dispatched from Xiliang, either Ma Teng or Ma Chao would be in command.Everyone knows that Ma Chao is famous for his martial arts and bravery in Liangzhou.In everyone's opinion, Ma Chao's command is the best choice for Ma Teng.But this time, Ma made a surprise move.He actually did not use Ma Chao, but used his youngest son Ma Tie as the coach.Ma Cheng and Ma Xiu were the lieutenants, and Ma Dai was the vanguard, leading [-] cavalry, starting from Wuwei, heading straight for Hongze.

This is to use Hongze to establish the status of Ma Tie!
It's just that no matter what Ma Teng thinks about, it doesn't have much to do with Dou Lan.

On the second day of October in the eighth year of Jian'an, Dou Lan summoned [-] soldiers and horses in Hongshuiji, took the stage outside the city to worship the general, and set off with oath.

After the swearing-in was over, Dou Lan ordered generals in the large tent of the Chinese army.

With his eldest son Dou Hu as the vanguard, he led the troops to help the Li family ranch.He took Geng Qing as the commander, Qiu Nu and others as the deputy generals, and then set off for the expedition.A series of military orders were issued, and the barracks suddenly boiled.Dou Hu put on his helmet and put on his armor, raised his gun and mounted his horse. After saying goodbye to Dou Lan, he took the lead and rushed out of the gate of the barracks.

"Northwest Battle Report, Northwest Battle Report!"

Just as the vanguard was about to leave, a scout flew over and rushed into the gate.

I saw the scout in a panic, rolling off the saddle in front of Dou Lan, kneeling on one knee, "My lord, something is wrong!"

"What's the panic?"

"Northwest pasture, northwestern pasture...Tang Ti arrived at the northwest pasture with the hero Yadan as the vanguard. Sima Pang, the Han army marched, led his troops to fight, but was defeated by Yadan. Today, the Han army retreated [-] miles and established a foothold in the No. [-] camp. defense!"
