"Dou Lan, surrendered?"

Li Qi sat in the flower hall, looked at the scouts in the hall, and said to himself.Although as early as the first time I met Cao Peng, I expected this day to come.But when this day really came, Li Qi felt an indescribable melancholy.The Hongze alliance oath that existed for a hundred years is gone like this!From now on, there will be no Hongze in Hexi, only the place name of Hongshui County.Li Qi also vaguely heard the news that the imperial court issued an edict to set up Hexi County.

It's an attitude!

If the attitude of the imperial court was still somewhat vague before, then when the edict of Hexi County was issued, it represented the final decision of the imperial court.In other words, it was Cao Cao's final decision...Cao Cao is now busy with the war in Hebei and is starting to attack Yecheng, so he can't take care of Hexi at the same time.At the same time, the imperial court gave Cao Peng too little support, which made Cao Cao a little embarrassed.Therefore, he used such a method to show his support for Cao Peng...

Hongze has changed!
In other words, Hexi has changed...

Li Qi picked up a contract on the desk in front of him, which contained the main content of the Hongshui Daying League.

Cao Peng, a celebrity from the Central Plains, seems to be different from others.Li Qi has met many celebrities, but none of them are like Cao Peng.Judging from his behavior, it seems that he has extremely strong hostility towards aliens.Or use the word nationalism to describe it, which is the most appropriate.However, he can follow advice like a stream, and he is tolerant of all rivers.This contract shows Cao Peng's tolerant attitude towards people of other races, and at the same time, there is a very firm idea of ​​Hanism in it.

I have a dream. I hope that one day, regardless of Han people, Qiang people, Di people, Huns, and Xianbei people, they can gather together, speak the same language, and give out the same cheers.

This is the beginning of the contract, a passage from Cao Peng.

It is very straightforward, but it can be understood by everyone.

He is hostile to foreigners, but does not reject them; he attaches great importance to farming, and seems to have a very strong interest in merchants.

If the establishment of the Hexi Chamber of Commerce can be carried out as Cao Peng said, it will undoubtedly stabilize the Qianghu alien race and add a bargaining chip to the stability of Hexi.Zhenfu... Cao Peng has already understood these two words thoroughly.

Li Qi asked softly: "Father Dou Lan, how are you doing now?"

"Returning to my lord, Cao Youxue did not kill Dou Lan and his son. It is said that he originally wanted to conquer Dou Lan and become the military commander of Wubao, but General Dou refused. General Dou decided to wait for his ancestors to return to their hometown in Pingling, Fengyi County. ..."

"Oh?"

Li Qi was startled.

He did know that after Dou Xian was killed, although Dou Xian's descendants were dispatched to various places, one of them stayed in his hometown in Pingling.It's just that after Dou Xian, the imperial court was quite resistant to the Dou family, so that in the next hundred years, the Dou family had no outstanding figures.Perhaps, it is for such a reason that the Dou family can still gain a foothold in Pingling.

Do fallen leaves return to their roots?
Li Qi coughed lightly and let out a long breath.

This is also good, it is also a blessing to be able to return to the roots of fallen leaves.Dou Lan's ancestors have always looked forward to returning to their hometown in Pingling one day.Now, I can finally go back... No matter what, it can be regarded as a fulfillment of a long-cherished wish.

"Send some people over there to protect General Dou and his son when they return home."

Although this Hongze is gone, this affection cannot just disappear like this.

The scout was startled, and quickly said: "My lord, it's not General Dou and his son, only General Dou and his wife are going back, Mr. Hu didn't leave, but stayed in Hexi."

"Oh?"

"General Dou asked Young Master Hu to stay and serve General Cao.

According to the villain's inquiry, Mr. Hu is now the Dubo, and he was assigned to Hexi Sima, and General Xiahou Lan Xiahou served as a scout. "

Dubo, that is, a captain, has 50 people under his jurisdiction.

Scout Captain?
That's an elite team!

Li Qi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed.

"Dou Lan, oh Dou Lan, I didn't expect you to have such a hand.

In the past, you were unwilling to surrender because of power, but now you planted a seed for the future of the Dou family, so you can be scheming... Sure enough, you are so scheming. "

Now that Dou Lan goes back, it can be said that she has nothing.

After parting from their homeland for a hundred years, whether Pingling Dou Clan can accept Dou Lan's return is also a big question.

But if Dou Hu stayed, Dou Lan would have an extra guarantee.

At least, being able to play under Cao Peng's command can give Dou Lan more confidence after her return.Everyone knows that Cao Peng has a great future and is highly valued by Cao Cao.As long as you keep up with Cao Peng, sooner or later, Dou Hu will also be able to stand out.And at that time, the Pingling Dou family will have one more hope, a hope of rising...

Cao Peng, don't you know?
Li Qi believes that Cao Peng must know Dou Lan's plan.

But he still kept Dou Hu, and this move was even more ingenious.

On the one hand, taking in Dou Hu can appease the hearts of Hongze people; on the other hand, he is also a promise to Dou Lan.

Since you bowed your head, I will give you a prosperous future...

How can this kind of bearing, this kind of courage, be comparable to ordinary people?
Li Qi waved his hand, and the scout stepped back.

He stood up, walked out of the flower hall slowly, stood under the porch, and watched the snow scene in the garden.

A light snowfall last night added a lot of moving beauty to the garden.The red plum standing proudly in the snow is full of vitality.

Li Ding has already gained a foothold in Fengming Beach.

He is now under Deng Fan's tent, a military lord, and has a group of Huqi under his command.

The children are all grown up and have a place to live.Next, it depends on their own performance.

Li Qi suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of fatigue.

Old, really old!

In a flash, he was almost seventy years old.

It has been 40 years since he left his homeland... At that time, he entered Hongze with a heart of gratitude.Now is the time to let go of your responsibilities.It's just that I don't know how many people there are in my hometown, who can remember Li Qi back then?
After being tired, Li Qi felt a trace of inexplicable sadness.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++
"My lord, my lord..."

Li Qi suddenly woke up from his contemplation, looked up, and saw his old family member Li Tong standing in front of him in fear, calling urgently.

This Li Tong is Li Qi's junior.

Speaking of which, he and Li Qi's son grew up together. Later, Li Qi and Li Qi died in the battle, and Li Tong began to take care of Li Ding again, until now.To Li Tong, Li Qi has always been like his own son, never putting on airs.

"Li Tong, what's the matter?"

"Outside, there is a Han army outside, heading towards our ranch."

"what?"

Li Qi was startled, and his eyes suddenly opened, showing a bright light.

The appearance of the Han army at this time can only be Cao Peng's people.Could it be that he took down Hongshuiji, and is he going to attack my Li family?
However, he immediately smiled again.

Let's do the surgery, anyway, I'm ready to let go of the responsibility.Return the Li family to the court, I believe Cao Peng will not treat them badly.

"Li Tong, go to my study and get the roll on the desk."

Li Tong was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses, "My lord, could it be that you..."

"Li Tong, this general trend cannot be reversed by manpower. Go ahead, take out the roster, trust Cao Youxue, and you won't turn your face against him. At least we have to keep our face, and don't really let them bow their heads when they come to the city."

Li Tong was dissatisfied, but he couldn't disobey Li Qi's order.

He also knew that the red water collection was over, the Hongze was over... How could the Li family ranch be alone?If the Li family ranch can stop Cao Peng, why would Li Qi arrange for Li Ding to go to Fengmingtan?This is obviously irreversible.

Li Qi took a deep breath, straightened his clothes, and walked down the porch.

He strode out and saw the panicked faces of all the family members, so his face darkened, "What are you panicking about?"

"grown ups……"

"Okay, stop talking, I already know.

What is supposed to come will always come, and there is no way to avoid it... Pass the order, everyone, don't panic, be honest.The rest, follow me to meet the Han army.Rest assured, I still have some friendship with General Cao, and nothing will happen. "

Having been in charge of the Li Family Ranch for many years, Li Qi's prestige is absolutely unmatched.

Not only in the Li family, but even in the entire Hongze, Li Qi's prestige is unmatched... There is even a saying that if Li Qi hadn't backed down, the position of the leader of the Hongze alliance would definitely not have been obtained by Dou Lan... ...Since Li Qi said he was fine, he must be fine.After a while, the panic in the Li family ranch subsided.Although everyone was still a little apprehensive, they became much more stable, at least not afraid.

Li Qi led the people out of the gate of the ranch.

From a distance, I saw a group of Han troops approaching the pasture.

The number of people is not large, about 300 people.But looking at the equipment, you can tell that these people are unusual.

One person and two riders, one good horse from the Western Regions and one poor horse.

Good horses carry people, and poor horses carry goods.The knights on the horses were all dressed in black, with black windshields on their faces.

Crossing the sword and carrying the bow, majestic and majestic.

On top of the poor horse, there are spears and arrows, as well as luggage bags.

At least in Li Qi's impression, the Han army did not have such a prodigal team... If there was one, it could only be the guards next to Cao Peng, the legendary "black tooth soldiers".If it's the black tooth soldiers, it means that Cao Peng is here.

It is impossible that Cao Peng is not here, he is wandering around with black and evil teeth soldiers.

Li Qi took a deep breath and walked a few steps quickly.

The opponent also reined in the horse and stopped at a distance of more than [-] meters from Li Qi.

The black brush pulled apart at once, making way for a passage.I saw a liger among them, showing off its might and walking out.

Immediately there was a young man, not wearing any armor, but only civilian clothes.

Wearing a large robe and a cloak... When the young man saw Li Qi, he urged his horse to walk 15 meters forward, reined in the horse, and jumped off.

"Lieutenant Li, farewell in July. It has been nearly half a year in the blink of an eye. Cao Peng has been unable to visit the house because of his busy work. I came here today to apologize to the boss. Please don't blame Cao Peng. disrespect."

"General Cao, why are you here?"

Cao Peng laughed loudly, and strode up to Li Qi, "I'm here to invite Mr. Boss to come from a background, and let him make a big splash here in Hexi."
