Cao Thief

Chapter 500 Chaos in Liangzhou ([-])

Senior cadre, troops are dispatched!

This was not only within Cao Peng's expectation, but also a little surprising to him.

Li Ru really deserved the title of Liangzhou's number one conspirator back then, and he actually calculated Yuan's reaction so accurately.

Then, it's time for Ma Teng to make a move...

Cao Peng was not in a hurry to tell others the news, but after a moment of silence, he continued to ask everyone to cultivate the fields.

Come on, come on, is it possible that I still think he is afraid of the Ma family and his son?

Jincheng, county.

Han Sui also got the news of the high-ranking officials sending troops, so he wandered around in the flower hall, hesitating.He didn't know, should he send troops?

Ma Teng wrote a letter, inviting him to join forces.

But in Han Sui's heart, he was unwilling to rebel with Ma Teng.

Yuan Shang's envoy drew a big cake for Ma Teng, which made Ma Teng fascinated.But in Han Sui's eyes, that plan was almost impossible to realize.Yuan Shaoshang is not Cao Cao's opponent, let alone the Yuan Shang brothers?If this matter was planned by Yuan Shao, then Han Sui would not be tempted.But Brother Yuan Shang... is just a generation with great aspirations and talents, so it is absolutely impossible.

Ma Teng is ambitious and arrogant.

Since relying on Fubo General Ma Yuan, he always wanted to do something big.He had a big somersault in Hexi, although his vitality was not hurt, it made him unacceptable.Moreover, Hexi has extremely important strategic significance to Wuwei, and Ma Yuan will naturally not willingly sit back and watch Hexi be occupied by people, which may threaten Wuwei at any time.

He wants to take back Wuwei!
Han Sui knew this very well.

But the question is, can he win it back?

Han Sui didn't know Cao Peng very well, but he had heard of Cao Peng's celebrities.

To some extent, Han Sui and Cao Peng belong to the same kind of people.Cao Peng is a famous scholar in the Central Plains, and Han Sui is a famous scholar in Liangzhou.Speaking of it, what Han Sui hopes most in his life is to be able to integrate into the circle of scholars in the Central Plains.It's a pity that Liangzhou is remote, and it's the place where the Hu and Han people live together. In the eyes of the Central Plains people, it's always a bit out of date.

Cao Peng entered Hexi, and Han Sui has been paying attention to Cao Peng.

From his forbearance at the beginning to his sudden outburst, Han Sui praised every move he made.

Now, Ma Teng asked him to fight against Cao, Han Sui really didn't want to nod...

There was a sound of footsteps outside the house, and Han Sui turned around to look, and saw a young general striding in from outside the house.

"Yanming, you came just in time."

Han Sui smiled when he saw the young man.

The visitor's name was Yan Xing, and his courtesy name was Yanming. He was Han Sui's son-in-law.

He is what Yin Feng said, the real number one military general in Liangzhou.Before Ma and Han disagreed, they fought fiercely.Yan Xing once fought fiercely with Ma Chao for Sanbaihe, and finally broke his gun and almost killed Ma Chao.Among them, there is an element of luck, but it is also Yan Xing's high ability.If he didn't have such high martial arts skills, he might not be able to compete with Ma Chao.

That battle took place in the first year of Jian'an, eight years ago.

The reckless boy in the past has become calm and calm.Ma and Han are safe and sound, part of the reason is that Yan Xing's bravery shocked Ma and his son.Han Sui had no children, only one daughter, who was married to Yan Xing.In Han Sui's eyes, Yan Xing is almost equivalent to his heir, and he is naturally extremely dependent on weekdays.No matter big or small, he would discuss with Yan Xing and ask Yan Xing for his opinion.This time Ma Teng invited him to send troops, Han Sui naturally wanted to find Yan Xing and ask his opinion.

Yan Xing is more than eight feet tall, with a thin waist and back, extremely heroic.

"My father-in-law, what is it that makes my father-in-law so anxious?"

"Yanming, please sit down."

Han Sui signaled Yan Xing to sit down, and then handed the letter from Ma Teng to Yan Xing.

After Yan Xing watched it, he frowned slightly, "Ma Shoucheng wants to rebel?"

"Yuan Shang invited him to send troops, and promised to use the name of the king of Guanzhong. In addition, he lost face in Hexi last year, so he naturally wants to get it back.

Today, Gao Gan attacked from Bingzhou to harass Hedong.

Guan Zhongwei has already mobilized troops to defend against high officials... Before Wei Ji, he even borrowed troops from me!Let's fight the enemy together... I used the excuse that the Hehuang Qiang and Hu had changed, so I didn't dare to mobilize troops and horses, so I shirked the past.Now that Ma Teng wants me to send troops, I am really hesitant.

Ma Teng won, he is the king of Guanzhong, and I am still the prefect of Jincheng.

If Ma Teng loses, his family will be ruined, and I will also face Cao Cao's revenge.But if I don't agree, I will definitely turn against Ma Teng. At that time, Jincheng will inevitably face the disaster of the hilt, which is not the result I want to see. "

Han Sui didn't hide anything from Yan Xing.

Ma Teng wrote clearly in the letter that if he occupies Guanzhong, he is willing to share Liangzhou equally with him.

I heard that it is a big temptation to go!
But in fact, what does it mean to divide Liangzhou equally.What is the difference between the current form and the equal division of Liangzhou?Sitting in Jincheng, with the help of Hehuang Huqi behind him, he has firmly established his reputation as a prince.When Wei Kang saw him, he was also very respectful. He was free to come and go from all the counties in Liangzhou.Divide Liangzhou equally?What kind of division?It's nothing more than handing Longxi over to him.

But the problem is, Han Sui's interest in Longxi is really not that great...

Yan Xing didn't answer immediately, but read the letter seriously.

Then, with a sneer, he raised his hand two or three times, and tore the letter to pieces.

"Ma Shoucheng made a good idea."

"Yanming, what does this mean?"

"My father-in-law, the Ma family father and son clearly have bad intentions for you."

"how do I say this?"

"He asked us to attack Longxi, he sent troops from Wuwei, captured Hexi, crossed the river and attacked Anding and Beidi counties.

But have you ever thought that if you attack Longxi, you will have to bear the joint attack of the three counties in the early stage.Longxi is the government office of Liangzhou, where troops are stationed.Western school lieutenant Wang Meng, Rongqiu captaincy Wang Mai and his son are both generals of tigers and wolves, with unstoppable courage.I have seen Na Wang Mai, and it is not an easy character to deal with.What's more, Lintao Commander Shi Tao is quite capable.Although he only lived in Lintao for one year, he convinced the people; Wu Shandi was so arrogant that he subdued him without bloodshed.This person has far-sighted plans, and Wang Mengwang bought his father and son, so it is absolutely impossible to break through in one fell swoop.But Anding Zhangji and Hanyang Yang Yishan are not incompetent people.If the power of the three counties is connected, Jincheng is already in danger before Ma Teng sends troops. "

The Yang Yishan mentioned by Yan Xing was Liangzhou Biejia, who joined the military and was the prefect of Beidi County Yang Fu.

This Yang Fu was originally from Jixian County, Tianshui County (now east of Gangu, Gansu Province). In the fourth year of Jian'an, he served as the envoy of Wei Duan, the governor of Liangzhou, as an envoy to Xudu, and was appointed as the long history of Anding.After Yang Fu returned to Liangzhou, the Guanzhong army asked Yuan Shao and Cao Cao who would win. Yang Fu replied: Yuan Shao is generous but not decisive, good at strategy but lack of decision-making.If there is no decisiveness, there will be no majesty, and if there is no decision-making, there will be mistakes.Although it is strong now, it is impossible to achieve a great cause.

But Mr. Cao has great talent and long-term strategy, and he is decisive and adaptable without hesitation.The law is unified, and the army is well-equipped.People who can use unconventional people, and those who are appointed can also do their best. He is a person who can achieve great things and can be followed.

It was precisely because of his words that the Liangzhou generals did not act in the end.

However, Yang Fu was also very arrogant and unwilling to take on a deputy position, so he resigned from the position of Anding Changshi.

In the eighth year of Jian'an, after Zhang Ji became the prefect of Anding, he wanted to conquer Yangfu.However, Wei Duan, governor of Liangzhou, appointed him as Liangzhou Biejia to join the military, which made Zhang feel a pity.So Zhang Ji recommended Yang Fu to Cao Cao through Zhong Yao. Fortunately, Cao Cao had an impression of Yang Fu, so he said to Zhong Yao: "Since Yishan doesn't want to be a long history, let's be the prefect."

Therefore, in the winter of the eighth year of Jian'an, Yang Fu was appointed as the prefect of Hanyang County.

At the same time, Wei Duan was unwilling to give up this person, so he let him continue to serve as Liangzhou Biejia and join the military...

Yan Xing pointed out that Zhang Ji and Yang Fu were quite famous in Guanzhong.Han Sui frowned when he heard these two names.Yang Fu and Zhang Ji, one with great strategy and the other capable of governing the country, are both famous scholars in Guanzhong, and they are inextricably linked with the Guanzhong aristocratic family.These two people, plus Longxi... Han Sui also had a headache.

"My father-in-law, even if my father-in-law can invite Hehuang's elite soldiers, even if they can win a big victory in the end, I'm afraid they will suffer heavy losses.

When the time comes, he, Ma Shoucheng, will cross the river and attack, and after taking Beidi and Anding, who will he attack next?In my opinion, he may not immediately attack Guanzhong, but instead take Jincheng into his hands.In this way, he will rule Liangzhou. Even if Sikong sends troops here in the future, he can use the name of killing rebels to evade his father-in-law, and then sit in Liangzhou and become his Liangzhou king.Sikong wanted to use troops against him, so he had to consider the pros and cons of it. "

What Yan Xing said made Han Sui sweat profusely.

He said loudly: "If it wasn't for Yan Ming's words, I would almost have been tricked by the horse thief."

Scratching his head, Han Sui lingered twice, "Since that's the case, I won't send troops. What does Yan Ming think?"

"No!"

Yan Xing shook his head again, "If you don't send troops, you will definitely anger the horse thief. Otherwise, he will send troops to attack immediately. Father-in-law, please don't forget that old Wei Duan has always been suspicious of my family. If Ma and Han hadn't joined forces, he would have been suspicious of us a long time ago. Use the army.

At this time, if we attack each other, the people who will benefit in the end must be Wei Duan and his son. "

Han Sui took a deep breath and said with a wry smile: "It's not wrong to send troops, it's not wrong to not send troops...then what should I do?"

"The current plan, the father-in-law will not come out."

"Will it come out or not?"

Han Sui frowned and fell into deep thought.

"I have a plan to make my father-in-law worry-free.

He ordered Hehuang Huqi to capture Heguan, and the father-in-law led the troops to capture Yuzhong and the warriors, stationed troops in Muyuan, and stopped attacking.In this way, Ma Shoucheng will have nothing to say.If he can capture Hexi and cross the river to attack Anding, the father-in-law will continue to attack; if Ma Shoucheng fails, the father-in-law can take advantage of the situation to withdraw troops, send troops to suppress the rebellion, and take advantage of the situation to seize Wuwei County.

At that time, the father-in-law is sitting in Jincheng and Wuwei, and he will still be a prince.

And from then on, there is no need to worry about Ma Teng's elbows anymore. The benefits of the Western Regions are all in the hands of the father-in-law, so why not do it? "

After hearing this, Han Sui couldn't help nodding.

Yan Xingzhi's strategy is indeed the best way for now...

His eyes narrowed involuntarily, and he smiled after a while, "What Yan Ming said is very true, let's do it like this!"

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
In February of the ninth year of Jian'an, Gao Gan, the governor of Bingzhou, sent troops from Xihe, crossed Tongtian Mountain by force, and captured Puzi County in Hedong County.

Cao Ren, the prefect of Hedong, was shocked, and hurriedly ordered Gan Ning, the general of Zhonglang, to send troops to meet the enemy.

At the same time, Cao Ren urgently asked Chang'an for reinforcements. Wei Ji did not dare to delay, so he dispatched [-] troops from Guanzhong, and entered Hedong County from Longmen Mountain to help Cao Ren.For a while, Hedong County was in full swing, and the situation became even more tense, and the war was about to break out.

The people in Hedong who had only experienced a military disaster in the seventh year of Jian'an felt inexplicable pressure.This is all very well, why is there a war again?Senior officials were driven away the year before last, so why did they send troops here again today? Could it be that there is going to be another big battle?
At this time, news came from Hexi: Hexi is recruiting people to emigrate...

The slogan of Hexi County is: There are fields, cattle and houses to live in!
He also declared that Hexi would never be disturbed by war.We will keep the war away from Hexi, so that the people can live and work in peace.

This sounds a bit unreal!
Where is Hexi County?

Many people have never heard of the name of Hexi County.

But there are fields, cows and houses to live in, which really makes many people feel excited.Many people began to ask, where is this Hexi County?After inquiring carefully, I found out that Hexi was originally a vast pastoral plain to the west of Dahe and south of Helan Mountain.It was originally under the rule of Wuwei County, but at the beginning of the year, the imperial court ordered that Hexi County be established independently.

And the prefect of Hexi County is actually the famous Cao Sanpian and Cao Peng.

Many people in Hedong have heard of Cao Peng's name. After all, the three Mengxue articles were written by Cao Peng...

"I heard people say that Mr. Cao is very powerful.

Yan Liang of Hebei Sitingzhu died in his hands.It is said that he once assisted Deng Ji, the prefect of Dongjun, to manage such a remote place in Haixi to make it very prosperous.He was in Hexi, and within half a year he defeated those Qiang Hus and unified the vast territory... Tell me, when you arrive in Hexi, will there really be fields and cattle? "

"Probably……

The Three-Character Classic that my junior is reading now is said to be written by Cao Sanpian, and he respects the prefect Cao very much. "

"Arita, and cows!"

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the annexation of land by wealthy families was extremely crazy.

After losing their fields, many people had to rely on those powerful families and work for generations.Later generations often say that the land complex makes the Chinese irresistible to the land.For those ordinary people who have lost their land, the land and cattle will undoubtedly make their hearts move... If there are really fields and cattle...

Many people are starting to get excited!
Time, like this, quietly passed in the panic and flames of war.

The smoke in the east of the river is filled with gunpowder, while the west of the river looks extremely peaceful...

Spring plowing has been fully rolled out, and the first batch of sowing is mainly concentrated on the vast land east of Hongshui and west of Dahe.

At the same time that the original arable land began to be sown, the construction of Hongshui County had been completed for the most part.

At the same time, Wubao and Fengmingbao are also nearing completion.Construction on Fort Hoo is continuing and is expected to be completed by mid-year.

In the past three months of the ninth year of Jian'an, Cao Peng successively purchased more than 1 slaves from Mobei through Su Shuang's channel.Among them, Han slaves accounted for as much as [-]%, while Hu slaves accounted for only [-]%.The quality is not particularly good, and most of them are the old, weak, sick and disabled.However, Cao Peng was not dissatisfied, and instead ordered Su Shuang to increase the intensity of acquisitions.

At the same time, the six small heads of the Hexi County Chamber of Commerce were established, which made the Chamber of Commerce start to operate normally.

The first business was to buy a large amount of grain through Luoyang, which has filled the treasury of Hexi County.At the same time, Su Shuang activated his contacts for many years, and sent the weapons replaced by the Heluo garrison to Hexi through various channels.Following the continuous flow of these goods and commodities from the Central Plains, the first trade fair organized by the Hexi County Chamber of Commerce also kicked off.The leaders of the various tribes have gained a lot of profits through the communication of the chamber of commerce.This also made the cohesion of Hexi County quietly improved a lot, prompting more tribes to be willing to cooperate with the government.

At this time, Cao Peng quietly left Hongshui County and came to Wubao...
