Cao Thief

Chapter 480 Building a City Overnight (Please recommend tickets!)
When it was snowing heavily, all the adults in Hexi tribes, big and small, received a very special gift.

The prefect of Hexi, Cao Peng, the general of Beizhong Lang, invited the adults of the Hexi tribe to come to Hongshui to discuss matters.

In the past, no one would have ignored this invitation.But now, as the momentum of the Hongshui camp is getting bigger and bigger, and Fengmingtan and Lianbao have been greatly supplemented, they have formed a strong support for the Hongshui camp.

In particular, Fengmingtan's establishment as a county was unexpected and reasonable.

After the first battle at Fengmingtan, Deng Fan de Qianghu captured more than [-] people.And Cao Peng transferred [-] households of Han people from Hongshui Daying. Including the previous Han army, the population has exceeded [-].Such a huge population base is enough to set up a county in Hexi.It's just that Cao Peng used Fengming Beach to assist in the defense before, but now he took away Zhixian without saying a word, which made many people feel uncomfortable. At the same time, they felt Cao Peng's strength and unchangeable determination.

Hexi is under the rule of the imperial court.

I want to set up a county here, it is ordered by the imperial court, who dares to stop it?

With the power of Fengmingtan's victory, Cao Peng took Fengmingtan by force, but no one dared to express any different opinions.

This is Cao Peng's 'potential'!
Now, Cao Peng convened the leaders of the tribes to discuss matters, which made people feel even more terrified.

Some people dismissed it, but some people were terrified.

On October 27, outside the Hongshui Camp, there was a lot of excitement.There was an endless stream of tribal adults who came to participate in the discussion, which was extremely noisy.

In order to appease the elders of the tribes, Cao Peng ordered people to set up a camp west of the Hongshui camp, and sent a special person to entertain them.Jia Xing naturally took on the responsibility of entertaining.He speaks Liangzhou dialect fluently, and from time to time, he greets and greets the adults of various tribes in Qianghu language and Hun language, which makes people feel very comfortable.

"Hongshagang, Lord Tanzhe is here!"

Following the shout of the sergeant, the adults of the tribe who had already arrived at the camp shook their heads and hurried out of the tent.

Tanzhe has a high status in Hexi.

Apart from Qianghu and Hongze, it can be regarded as the third largest force.

Now that even Tan Zhe has come, even if those tribal adults feel uncomfortable, they feel much better.

"Even Lord Tan dare not refuse General Cao's request?"

"I heard that Lord Tan and General Cao have a very good relationship, and they have a very close transaction. Before that, Lord Dou of Hongze asked Lord Tan for reinforcements, but Lord Tan still refused to do so because of General Cao's face. "

"So, doesn't it mean that the overall situation in Hexi has been settled?"

"It's hard to say, it depends on what Master Dou does... Otherwise, there will still be a fight."

At this moment, another soldier shouted loudly: "Hongze, Mr. Geng Qinggeng is here!"

"Hongze, Lord Qiunu is here!"

"..."

When several tribal adults from the Hongze tribe appeared, there was another commotion in the camp.

However, Cao Peng still did not appear.

Buzhi Buzishan is responsible for arranging these tribal adults.

Xia Houlan led a flying horse with a hundred horses to follow, and the solemn and dignified aura made everyone in the camp tremble with fear.

"General Cao is unable to entertain the princes in person because of his official duties.

However, he entrusted me to say hello to the princes... The banquet has been prepared, if there is any need, just ask Jia Hucao. "

After finishing speaking, Bu Zhi stepped forward to salute Tan Zhe, and whispered a few words to him, and saw Tan Zhe nodded repeatedly with a happy face.

When leaving, Bu Zhi nodded his greetings to Geng Qing.

And kindly asked Geng Qing's eldest son, Geng Lin.

"My son has great respect for the knowledge of the eldest son.

He told me to treat Mr. Geng well... Tomorrow when the meeting is held, Mr. Yu Geng should have a good drink. "

Everyone looked at Geng Qing in a wrong way!

After Bu Zhi left, Qiu Nu grabbed Geng Qing's arm, "Old Geng, when did you get in touch with General Cao?"

Geng Qing's face was flushed, with a somewhat smug smile on his face.

"I don't have the qualifications to talk to General Cao, but my dog... Hehe, you know, he likes to read on weekdays, and General Cao is a very famous celebrity in the Central Plains, so he pays more attention to the dog."

His words made everyone nod their heads.

Qiu Nu praised him even more: "Old Geng, you have raised a good son."

In the past, when mentioning Geng Lin, the tribal adults in Hongze often dismissed it.

In their eyes, it is enough to be able to write their own names. What is the use of reading so many books?Although there is no such thing as a scholar who is useless in this day and age, in the northern part of the Great Wall, the status of a scholar is after all inferior to those brave warriors who wield knives and guns.But now it seems that reading more books seems to be beneficial?

Geng Qing felt elated.

The big tent was very lively, and Geng Qing became the most sought after person besides Tan Zhe.

It is imperative for the imperial court to take back Hexi.

Being able to build a good relationship with General Cao will undoubtedly be of extremely crucial use to their future life in Hexi.

Looking at General Cao's behavior, it seems that he does not reject the Qiang Hu, Xiongnu, Xianbei, and Di people.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have a close relationship with Tan Zhe.

Moreover, judging by his actions, it seems that instead of condensing the Han people into a group independent of Hexi as before, they broke up and tried to live in peace with the Hu people.People often say that barbarians are warlike!But not every barbarian likes to fight and kill.If you can live a good life, who is willing to work hard?
Everything, let's see tomorrow!

The Han army prepared a special "Caojiaguo", that is, shabu-shabu, for the tribal adults attending the meeting.

Plates of mutton, cut into thin slices and served, rinsed in the pot, dipped in dipping sauce, it will make your mouth water.This is the food culture of the Central Plains, but it conforms to the eating habits of Qiang Hu as much as possible...

Everyone drank wine and ate hot-boiled meat, and unconsciously became more curious about Cao Peng.

That night, everyone enjoyed themselves and returned to their tents to rest.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++
Nothing happened all night, but just after dawn the next day, I heard the sound of drums from the Hongshui camp in the distance.

The tribal adults put on their clothes and came out of the camp one after another.Groups of three or five were about to chat together when they heard someone exclaim.

"Look!"

"What happened?"

Everyone raised their hands to look at it one after another, but this look gave people a chill.

When they came yesterday, they remembered it clearly.

The west bank of the Hongshui camp was only built with simple fences.But now, the fence is gone!Instead, there is a towering city wall.The city wall is six feet high and about eighteen miles long, like a long dragon, crawling on the banks of the Hongshui River.Under the sunlight, the city wall is crystal clear, refracting colorful lights and shining brightly.

A city rose up overnight and appeared in front of everyone.

Ghost?
Providence?
Standing in the camp, Geng Qing stared wide-eyed, almost unable to believe what he saw.The city wall, a city wall actually appeared... It would be fine if it was built, but it was difficult to express in words the shock it brought to him when it rose from the ground overnight.Could it be that God blesses General Cao?

"Everyone, my general has set up a banquet in the city, please go."

Jia Xing looked at ease, it didn't seem surprising.

He led people forward to greet him and urged everyone to enter the city to discuss matters.

"Where is Master Dan?"

"Yeah, why don't you see Lord Tanzhe?"

Jia Xing smiled slightly, "Master Tan went to the city last night to discuss with my young master, and returned to Hongshagang early today."

"what?"

Geng Qingqiunu and the others were shocked!
It is said that Cao Peng and Tan Zhe have a close relationship, seeing each other today, it is true.

The two of them unexpectedly met in advance, and Tan Zhe bid farewell and left before the meeting was held.Here, there are many ways... At least it shows that Tan Zhe and Cao Peng have reached an agreement, and both parties have obtained enough benefits.

Geng Qing's cheeks twitched, and he said to himself: I'm still one step too late!
However, in this way, the impact on other tribal adults is obviously huge.

Qianghu was defeated, Hongze was scattered...

If it is said that the only person in Hexi who can fight against Cao Peng is Tan Zhe.

Yesterday, from the attitudes of everyone, it can be seen that Tan Zhe is the leader.As long as Tan Zhe can nod his head and everyone is united, he can bargain with Cao Peng and strive for more benefits.In their hearts, everyone has accepted the fate of the imperial court to recover Hexi, but in their selfishness, they still hope to get more benefits, more benefits.

It is best if you can retain your own autonomy.

Even if you can't keep it, you have to fight for some benefits...

However, Tan Zhe reached an agreement with Cao Peng first and withdrew early.

In this way, it seems that the backbone of the crowd has been withdrawn at once. Many people feel at a loss when they hear the news.

"Old Geng, what should we do?"

Qiu Nu leaned forward and asked softly.

The adults of Hongze have their own circles.

Before, everyone was headed by Qiu Nu.However, with the news of the close relationship between Geng Qing and Cao Peng, the adults in Hongze began to value Geng Qing's opinion.

After pondering for a while, Geng Qing said softly: "It's up to now, let's take a step and see.

We didn't have much conflict with General Cao. We fought side by side in Hongshuiji back then.Presumably General Cao won't make things difficult for us people... After all, we are all Han people, and General Cao will definitely not treat his own people badly. "

In the past, Hongze people were all proud of Hongze.

Now this Hongze may no longer be their proud capital, and the Han blood, which was almost forgotten by them, is brought up again by them.

Qiu Nu and others nodded slightly, took a deep breath, got on their horses and followed Jia Xing.

As the city wall of the Hongshui camp got closer and closer, the chill that hit their faces made everyone feel terrified.

This city wall is made of ice.

The bitter cold in the northwest, it seems not surprising that a drop of water has turned into ice recently.

But the closer they got to the city wall, the more they could feel the coercion brought by the city wall.

On the city wall, there are soldiers on duty, each with bright armor, swords and guns everywhere, shining coldly.Under the city wall, the Han army lined up neatly, and the military appearance was cleaned up.When the adults approached, the awe-inspiring killing intent made people tremble...

"My lords, please!"

Jia Xing bowed his hands and gave way, with a warm smile on his face.

However, in the eyes of everyone, this smile looks so weird...
