Cao Thief

Chapter 473

Cao Peng was sitting in a temporary camp by the river, entertaining Zhang Ji, the prefect of Anding County, and others...

More than 6000 migrants from 6000 households passed through Anding County in early October and arrived safely in Zhongwei.Cao Peng has built a simple temporary camp in Dahe Xi'an.The local government in Hedong also arranged camps and began to arrange for immigrants to cross the river.Thirty-six thousand people may not sound like a lot.However, it may not be possible to transport these [-] people across the big river without a few days and nights.In order to transport the immigrants, Zhang Ji, who was the prefect of Anding County at that time, put in all his strength and summoned hundreds of ferries to and from the river to transport the people.

Zhang Ji, courtesy name Derong, was born in Gaoling, Fengyi County.

In Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he was recommended by Xia Houyuan to leave the town of Chang'an.

But at this time, Zhang Jifang was over thirty.At the age of 16, this person was a small and medium-sized official in the county. Later, he was promoted as a maocai and served as the county magistrate of Xinfeng County.At that time, under his rule, he was known as the first of the three assistants.Zhong Yao wrote letters of praise many times, saying that "De Rong" is a great talent.

Zhong Yao, who is that?

In this era, famous people!

One of the four great families in Yingchuan, the children of the Zhong family, are also extremely proud.

Even for Cao Peng, Zhong Yao's assessment is only: passable.As for Zhang Ji, he was praised as a pillar.

Anding County, belonging to Liangzhou, is at the intersection of Longxi, Wuwei and other places.

The reason why Zhang Ji was made the prefect of Anding County was because he and Ma Teng had a very close relationship.In the seventh year of Jian'an, when Gao Gan and Guo Yuan were rampant, it was Zhang Ji who went to lobby Ma Teng and met Zhong Yao with Gao and Guo.Later, he assisted Ma Teng in defeating Zhang Sheng, killed Wei Gu's rebellion, and put down the Kansai Rebellion. He made outstanding contributions and was promoted to the post of prefect.

This time, Zhang Ji specially accompanied the immigrants to meet Cao Peng.

Its purpose is to persuade Cao Peng not to make enemies with Ma Teng for the time being.

After all, the current stability in Kansai is hard-won. If Ma Teng rebels, it will inevitably lead to a rebellion in Kansai, and even turmoil in the entire Guanzhong.This is not only Zhang Ji's idea, but also the meaning of Wei Kang, governor of Liangzhou.Including Cao Cao, he also hopes that there will be no major fluctuations in Guanzhong for the time being, so as not to affect his strategy of pacifying the Yuan family in Hebei.

Bu Zhi and Xiahou Lan crossed the river together.

They originally arrived with the immigrants, but since Cao Peng greeted them personally, the two naturally came to visit with them.

Bu Zhi and Cao Peng have not been seen for four years.

Xia Houlan also hasn't seen Cao Peng for more than half a year, and she is very worried.

There are many others who came with Synchro and others.There are familiar ones and some unfamiliar ones, which makes Cao Peng very happy.

Those who came to Hexi this time included Xu Shu, a former employee of Dongjun County, Meng Jian, one of the Four Friends of Shuijing Villa, and Pang Lin, a brother of Pang Tong... totaling more than ten people.Among them, the one who surprised Cao Peng the most was Jia Xing, Jia Xu's adopted son.

Different from everyone's situation, Jia Xing holds an official position and is Cao Cao of Hexi County.

"Hexi County?"

Cao Peng couldn't help being a little stunned.

Since the Han Dynasty, there has been no such place as Hexi County. Could it be that...

Zhang Ji explained: "Sikong will go to the imperial court and set up Hexi County. Youxue will be the first prefect of Hexi County. However, the specific affairs will be finalized after Youxue has taken charge of Hexi, and then will go to the Sikong Mansion.

However, Xun Shizhong has filed a record in Hexi County in the Shangshufu, and he is only waiting for the good news of Youxue. "

That's it, became the prefect?
Although Beizhong Langjiang and Taishou are both of the same rank.

But in terms of power, there is still a huge difference.Beizhong Lang will be a military officer, and the prefect, in the Three Kingdoms period, is mostly military and political integration.Cao Peng was originally in charge of the military, but now he has the post of prefect.In other words, in the Hexi area, his family is the only one who is not subject to any restraint.It can also be seen from this that Cao Cao trusted Cao Peng.

"Yuanzhi came here to assist Youxue in the name of his uncle and grandson."

Cao Peng and Xu Shu had known each other three years ago, so they were no strangers.

At the beginning, Cao Peng contacted Xu Shu who was studying in Shuijing Villa through Xu Shu's mother.Afterwards, Xu Shu and Shi Tao came to Xudu together.However, the choices of the two people at that time were not the same.Xu Shu chose to assist Deng Ji in governing Yanjin.Soon afterwards, he was valued by Man Chong, the prefect of Dongjun at that time, and took up the post of Dongjun.

In contrast, Shi Tao stayed in Xudu all the time.

It was not until the beginning of the eighth year of Jian'an that Cao Peng proposed to Cao Cao that he was appointed Lintao Commander.

The pros and cons of the two are hard to tell apart.One has always been an assistant official with a very high status; the other has chosen the way of reckless sacrifice, and has become a county chief official, acting alone.Each has its own talents, but the method is different.

Xu Shu is in his early thirties, gentle and elegant.

It seems quite quiet, but after getting in touch with him a lot, you can feel his arrogance from the bottom of his heart...

"Yuan Zhi came here, I can let go of it."

Cao Peng was also very happy. Before, he still had a headache and had no one around him, but now he has many assistants all of a sudden.

"Now that Zi Shanyuan has come, and there are public authority and scholars, there is no doubt that Hexi will be the king."

Bu Zhi and the others stood up and gave in.

Meng Gongwei, also known as Meng Jian, and Pang Lin were also very happy.

Judging from Cao Peng's attitude towards them, they are very respectful.This also shows that in the future in Hexi, there can be a relatively stable environment to display their talents.As for Jia Xing, he was silent, just smiled and said nothing.

"Ziyou, you are all here, what should we do at home?"

Cao Peng thought of another thing, that people like Xia Houlan and Hao Zhao were extremely important figures in Cao Ji's hands.

When they came here, didn't they say that Cao Ji had no one to use?

"Oh, please rest assured, son."

Bu Zhi laughed and said, "Although Ziyou came here, he didn't have much influence with Cao Fengche.

Today, Cao Bin has served as the commander of the Chengmen school lieutenant and marching army. Your sixth brother, Cao Zun, has been invited by Feng Chehou to take the post of chief bookkeeper.As for the vacancies left by Bo Dao and the others, Brother Niu Jin took over, while Brother Cao Tai also served under Feng Chehou's command.In my opinion, no one can shake Feng Chehou's position as the captain of the city gate. "

Cao Zun served as the chief bookkeeper of the school lieutenant of the city gate?
This was indeed beyond Cao Peng's expectation.

Because Cao Zun was in poor health, he returned to Xudu and raised him.

Unexpectedly, the old man was so smart that he invited Cao Zun over.

Cao Zun and Cao Peng are sworn brothers, and they should respect Cao Ji as uncle.And he worked for Zhong Yao in Chang'an before, and he was very respected by Zhong Yao.Now that Zhong Yao has returned to Xudu, he is the order of the minister, and he will definitely give Cao Zun his care.

As for Cao Bin, let alone.

Cao Zhen's brother, was Cao Cao's retinue before.

The presence of these two people has basically guaranteed Cao Ji's position as the captain of the city gate, and few people can shake it.

Plus Cao Tai...

Cao Tai is the eldest son of Cao Ren, and also a descendant of the Cao surname.

In other words, the entire Xudu is now firmly controlled by the people of the Cao surname.

Of course, there are many factors for Cao Tai to work under Cao Ji.For example, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xiahou Dun, Xiahouyuan, a general with the surname Cao, had many business contacts with Cao Peng.The nine major guilds in Haixi all have their traces. In this way, a hidden interest group has been formed.However, the premise is that this group must be loyal to Cao Cao.

"If there is Sixth Brother here, it will indeed save a lot of trouble."

"More than that, Kan Derun transferred Feng Chao and Chu Ge from Haixi to Dongjun, and now they are considered to be promoted.

As for Deng Zhi, because Yuan Zhi left, he was invited by his uncle and grandson to be the master of Dongjun.

Basically, Youxue doesn't have to worry too much about family affairs in the Central Plains.Everything is normal, and the uncle and grandson also said that they want to compete with you... Hehe, with five years as a deadline, let's see who can take care of the government better between the two of you. "

Deng Zhi finally returned to Deng Ji's side.

However, after going through a lot of tempering, neither Deng Ji nor Deng Zhi is no longer a fledgling person.

Especially Deng Ji, from Jiyang to Xudu, from Xudu to Haixi, and from Haixi to Yanjin, and now he has become the prefect of the first county of Dongjun.The things he experienced and the hardships he encountered made him mature.

In this way, it can really reassure Cao Peng!
After everyone got together, it was natural to have a banquet.

No matter how you say it, Zhang, as a half-landlord, has achieved the top position.

He and Cao Peng are both prefects of the same county, but in terms of rank, Zhang Ji is higher than Cao Peng.Anding County belongs to Zhongjun and is located in Sanfu.Even if Hexi is officially established as a county, due to various factors such as geographical location and population, it can only be a lower county.The difference in salary between the prefect of Xiajun and the prefect of Zhongjun is ten hu per month.But the problem is that Cao Peng also served as Beizhong Langjiang and supervised the military other than Sanfu, which made Cao Peng's status higher than that of Zhang Ji.

"Prefect Zhang, do you know who Han Sui is?"

At the banquet, Cao Peng suddenly asked.

Zhang was also taken aback!
This Han Sui is the prefect of Jincheng County and also under the rule of Liangzhou.

But speaking of it, there was no dispute between Han Sui and Cao Peng.

After all, Jincheng County and Hexi are far apart... However, Zhang Ji is no ordinary person after all.After a moment of doubt, he understood the meaning of Cao Peng's words.The communication between Han Sui and Ma Teng is extremely close.

Zhang couldn't help but smile wryly.

Although Cao Peng is a famous scholar in the Central Plains, he seems to be a warlike person.

The conflict between him and Ma Teng cannot be eased at all. All Zhang Ji can do is to make them live in peace as much as possible.

But one day, Cao Ma will have a conflict.

The reason why Cao Peng asked Han Sui was because he had other ideas.

"Han Sui is extremely changeable and resourceful.

He has eight generals under his command, and his son-in-law Yan Xing is also a very capable person.I will try my best to make Wenyue and You learn and get along with each other in a friendly way. "

The implication of this is to tell Cao Peng: If you and Ma Teng really do it, I will find a way to restrain Han Sui and not participate in it.

Cao Peng laughed immediately!

"That's it, brother De Rong, please pay more attention."

"They all work for the imperial court. Do you want to please or not? However, I still say that, try not to conflict with Ma Teng. Ma Shoucheng has been running Xiliang for nearly [-] years. This person is in Xiliang. Prestige is not low.

In the event of a conflict..."

Zhang Ji was just halfway through speaking when he suddenly heard a commotion outside the big tent.

Immediately afterwards, Niu Gang entered the tent with a scout, "My lord, Fengmingtan, there is the latest battle report."
