————————————————————

I forgot yesterday, Ma Chao was already naked, and the iron meteor should not have a leaf flying around.

I've been in a bit of a slump recently, and my mind is a little numb, sorry...

--------------

After a scuffle, it was getting late.

Under Luanniao City, the lights were brightly lit, but it was Cao Peng who sent people to clean up the battlefield and collect the corpses of Cao Jun.In the battle during the day, the Xiliang Army lost hundreds of people, and the Cao Army also suffered hundreds of casualties.Generally speaking, the ratio of one to four can satisfy Cao Peng, but the white camel soldiers also killed six people and injured more than ten people, which makes Cao Peng still dissatisfied.

The corpses of Xiliang soldiers were also gathered up.

It's just that Cao Peng naturally couldn't spend too much thought on these corpses, but incinerated the corpses according to the customs of the Qiang people.Although it was autumn and the weather turned cold, if this corpse could not be disposed of in time, it would definitely cause big trouble.

Cao Peng didn't want Luanniao to become a dead city in the spring of next year.

At Xushi, news came from Xu Shu that he had led his troops to cross Lushui safely, and it was expected to arrive at Lushuitan tomorrow evening.

Everything was under Cao Peng's control, which finally made him breathe a sigh of relief.

After finishing the work, it is almost time to be ugly.Cao Peng returned to the room feeling exhausted, fell headfirst on the couch, and soon fell asleep.

It was quite difficult to fight Ma Chao.

Although it was a miserable victory in the end, Cao Peng was not happy.

The bravery of Xiliang soldiers still surprised him... Even when the whole army was defeated, they were able to keep their formation in order, which shows that Ma Chao's control is indeed brilliant.At least, compared to the fight against Ma Tie in Guzang, Ma Chao's control is far superior to Ma Tie's.At the same time, Cao Peng further realized that Ma Chao's attack on Luan Niao definitely had ulterior motives.

Judging from his behavior of besieging but not attacking, Ma Chao this time is more to contain Wuwei than to seize...

Then, Ma Teng's intention became clearer.

"Uncle Meng, why are you here?"

Cao Peng looked at the man in front of him in surprise, full of doubts in his heart.

A majestic, middle-aged man like a black iron tower stood in front of him with a smile, with kindness in his eyes.

"Ah Fu, it's getting cold, pay more attention to your body."

Wang Meng exhorted Cao Peng.

In this way, when Cao Peng was a child, when he was still living in Zhongyang Mountain, Wang Meng often said so.At that time, Cao Peng was weak and sickly, and whenever the weather turned cold, he would inevitably suffer from illness.Every time he got sick, Wang Meng and Cao Ji took turns carrying him from Zhongyang Town to Wuyin to see a doctor.At that time, Wang Meng looked so majestic and strong.But in the blink of an eye, he seemed to have aged a lot, and there were many years of grooves on his face.

Think about it carefully, ever since arriving in Xudu, Cao Peng has never been so attached to Wang Meng as before...

But the feeling of embarrassment in my heart has never diminished.

Cao Peng quickly said: "Uncle Meng, don't worry, I am in good health now, but I am very strong."

"Hehe, yes, my Ah Fu has grown up!"

As Wang Meng said, he put his hand on Cao Peng's shoulder, "In the future, I need to help Hutou more, he listens to you the most."

"Uncle Meng, that's natural."

"Ah Fu, Uncle Meng won't be able to take care of you in the future, everything depends on you..."

For some reason, Cao Peng felt that Wang Meng's tone was strange, so he raised his head and looked at Wang Meng.But seeing this made Cao Peng startled.Wang Meng, who was fine just now, suddenly had blood on his face and his whole body.

"Bomb!"

Following Cao Peng's loud cry, he sat up from the couch.

On his forehead, cold sweat dripped down.

It turned out to be a dream!

But this dream was too weird.

"Sir, what happened?"

Jiang Jiong asked in a low voice outside the house.Tonight, Jiang Jiong was on duty, but he heard Cao Peng's miserable screams coming from the room.

Cao Peng sat on the couch blankly, and asked in a deep voice after a while: "What time is it?"

"It's Yin time, it's almost Mao time."

After rubbing his face vigorously, Cao Peng stood up with his clothes on.

He lit the lamp, opened the door and walked out, standing on the porch, his head was still flustered.People often say, think day by day, dream at night.Sometimes, this dream is a response to reality, with a warning meaning.

Could it be that something happened to Uncle Meng?
It shouldn't be possible... Uncle Meng has Hutou and Shi Tao to help him, and his soldiers are strong and strong. How can ordinary people touch him?Besides, he was in Longxi, and Wei Duan's troops were stationed in Longxi. Ma Teng wanted to sneak attack, but it was not so easy.No, this dream must be messed up...it must be because I missed Uncle Meng and Hutou for a long time.

Cao Peng walked down the porch, but saw the moonlight shining in the courtyard.

Jiang Jiong stood on the porch, watching Cao Peng with concern.He has not been with Cao Peng for too long, but he knows a lot about Cao Peng.In his view, Cao Peng is a person who is not expressing his emotions or anger, and has extremely sophisticated methods of dealing with things.Don't look at his young age, but sometimes, his vision and means are not comparable to those of his peers.

Now, Cao Peng seemed a little irritable.

This is also a situation that Jiang Jiong has never seen since he followed Cao Peng.

At any time, Cao Peng seemed to be full of confidence, as if everything was under his control.But now...

This shows that Cao Peng is really in trouble.

Jiang Jiong didn't dare to say anything, just stood quietly on the porch.

I saw Cao Peng took off his big robe, moved his body under the moonlight, and punched slowly.

Is it boxing?

But it looks weak and weak, as if it has no power at all.

It's just that amidst the slowness and softness, there is also a feeling of flowing clouds and flowing water, which makes Jiang Jiong produce a visually extremely weird conflict.I heard from Han De that the young master has excellent boxing skills. Could it be that this boxing technique is what he is talking about?
"Jiang Jiong!"

"..."

"Jiang Jiong!"

"Ah, the end is here!"

Jiang Jiong was so engrossed in his thoughts that he didn't even hear Cao Peng call him.

After waking up, Jiang Jiong quickly stepped down from the porch, showing fear and fear.

"Go make Lingming come."

"Here!"

Jiang Jiong quickly left, while Cao Peng walked to a well, fetched a bucket of water, washed up, and returned to his room.

After a while, I saw Pang De hurrying over.

"Sir, what are your orders?"

Cao Peng motioned Pound to sit down, pondered for a moment and said, "Lingming, to tell you the truth, calling you here this time is a private matter."

"Please tell me sir."

Cao Peng nodded, with a look of reminiscence on his face.

He said softly: "You may not be clear about my past. Everyone knows that I am the nephew of the Sikong family, but they don't know that before the second year of Jian'an, I didn't even know who the Cao family in Qiao County was. I am from Nanyang County. Yangshan Renshi, my father was just an unknown blacksmith in Zhongyang Town, working hard every day to support his family..."

Pang De couldn't help but thumped in his heart.

He was indeed not very clear about Cao Peng's background.I even always thought that Cao Peng lived in Qiao County... No wonder, since Cao Peng became famous, his past has been more or less concealed under the cover of conscientious people, so that many people don't know, his real identity.Unexpectedly, the son actually lived in such an environment!But the more so, the more admiration Pang De felt.Under such difficult conditions, there is still today's achievement, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people... But, what does the young master mean by saying this to me?

"...At that time, my father had a close friend named Wang Meng."

"Captain of the South, Wang Meng?"

"Do you know him too?"

Pound smiled wryly, and thought: How could I not know?Anyway, I have been in Liangzhou for many years, how can I not know the Southern Captain?

Cao Peng smiled, and did not pursue further questions, but talked about the past on his own.

"As far as I am concerned, apart from my parents, wife and children, I am most grateful to Uncle Meng. If I hadn't taken care of Uncle Meng back then, I'm afraid I would have died long ago... Ling Ming, I have said so much, there is no other meaning. I had a dream just now, a very weird and bad dream. This dream also made me unable to calm down, so I came here to invite you to Lintao, and I will visit Uncle Meng and my family. Brother Hutou. Lintao Commander Shi Tao defected to me with Xu Junshi, and he is considered one of our own. After you arrive in Lintao, if the situation with Uncle Meng is not good, you can stay there temporarily and help him. If there is It's dangerous, you must protect my Uncle Meng's safety."

After all, Cao Peng stared at Pound.

"Lingming, can I entrust this matter to you?"

To be honest, Pang De was not willing to leave Luanniao.

But Cao Peng's words to this point are enough to show his attitude.At the same time, isn't this a kind of trust Cao Peng has in him?Compared with Ma Teng's act of driving him to Longqi City to suffer for a trumped-up charge, Cao Peng's act of seeming to let Pound leave the battlefield is more like a kind of entrustment and commitment to Pound. trust……

Without saying a word, Pound prostrated himself on the ground.

"The final general will swear to the death to protect Wang Duwei Zhouquan."

"In this way, I can rest assured... take away my flying camel soldiers.

When you arrive in Lintao, be careful.I reckon that Ma Teng is eyeing Longxi County covetously, so you must not take it lightly.Although he lost his martial power, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, so he still has to be careful.Ma Teng is deceitful, so be careful.After you arrive in Lintao, you will serve under my Uncle Meng first... When the time is right, I will attack from Wuwei.At that time, you and I will join forces to seize Jincheng, and the chaos in Liangzhou will be calmed down. "

"I will understand at the end!"

"On my side, just let Anping stay.

You and Jiang Jiong set off together, so I won't bother you... You should prepare now, the sooner you leave, the better! "

For some reason, Cao Peng was very confused.

Pang De didn't dare to stay any longer, without saying a word, he cupped his hands and bid farewell to Cao Peng, then called Jiang Jiong, and left in a hurry.

Flying Camel Soldiers, also known as Flying Soldier in the early days.

Since Cao Peng turned the black scorpion into a white camel soldier, the name of Fei scorpion was also cancelled.

There are [-] flying camels in total, with three Dawan horses in their hands, and they are outstanding in riding and shooting.The armor they are equipped with is also different from that of ordinary soldiers. They are all iron armor, and the horses are even equipped with horse armor.To some extent, Cao Peng's Flying Camel and Hundred Riders already possessed the embryonic form of heavy cavalry.The weapons used were all uniformly made into Zhangba spears for charging.Handing over the flying camels to Pang De to take away, Cao Peng believes that it is enough to keep Wang Meng safe.

However, he was still not at ease.

After sitting in the room for a while, he suddenly spread out paper on the desk and started writing vigorously.

"Come on!"

"Here!"

"Call Yunhe to come."

Yunhe is Geng Lin.

After a short while, Geng Lin came running in a hurry.

Cao Peng handed a letter to Geng Lin, "Immediately send someone to rush to Hongshui County with an expedited six hundred miles, and order Hao Zhao to lead his troops across the river. Here is a letter to Zhang Taishou of Anding County! Hao Zhao forwarded the letter to Zhang Taishou, borrowed some troops from Zhang Taishou, and then rushed to Longxi County to assist the southern captain Wang Meng to defend Lintao."

"Here!"

Geng Lin was startled when he heard that Liubai Li was in a hurry.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were four forms of express delivery: [-]-mile express, [-]-mile express, [-]-mile express and [-]-mile express.

The [-]-mile rush is the highest level, which means that the situation is serious.

Although Geng Lin didn't know what the situation was, he didn't dare to ask any more questions after the emergency exit at Liubaili.

He left immediately, arranged for a messenger, and rushed to Hongshui County.

Cao Peng stood on the porch, tapped his finger on the railing lightly, and said to himself: "Bo Dao's iron wall, Pang De's bravery, if these two people come to Lintao, they will surely make Lintao safe... Well, it's best Then send people to Chang'an, General Wei, please pay more attention."

Thinking of this, Cao Peng heaved a sigh of relief, and then patted his forehead.

Its daybreak……

A round of red sun erupted, and the sun shone on the earth.

Cao Peng dressed in a moon-white robe and led Pang Ming out of the county government office.

There was a fierce battle with Ma Chao yesterday, so Ma Chao must not be convinced.In order to attract Ma Chao's attention and cover Xu Shu and Yan Xing to successfully seize Lushuitan, Cao Peng decided to take the initiative to fight today and find trouble with Ma Chao.

These days, it's all about Ma Chao fighting.

Now, it's his turn to suppress Ma Chao's arrogance.

He was just about to go to the school grounds to order soldiers and horses, but he saw Geng Lin walking in a hurry, trotting all the way to him.

"My lord, I just got the news that Ma Chao retreated [-] miles last night, and seems to intend to return to Zhangye County."

"what?"

Cao Peng was surprised when he heard this.

Ma Chao, have you withdrawn your troops?

No, this is not Ma Chao's behavior... Could it be that he discovered the whereabouts of Xu Shu and Yan Xing?

impossible!

Had he been aware of his intentions, he would have moved west, not south.

Ma Chao's move was indeed somewhat beyond Cao Peng's expectations.What is his intention to withdraw his troops at this time?
Cao Peng pondered for a while, "Yunhe, you stay in the city.

Anping, immediately set up soldiers and horses, and follow me out of the city to watch.I'd like to see what Ma Chao's intentions are this time. "

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
Longxi, Lintao.

Shi Tao wandered in the hall, looking a little nervous.

He had just received the news that Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, General Yang Ang and Yang Ren, led [-] elite soldiers, suddenly attacked from Hanzhong and captured Ju County, Wudu County.It was a little strange for Zhang Lu to send troops at this time.Reminiscent of the violent rebellion between the Qiang and Qiang in Huangzhong, Shi Tao felt an ominous premonition, the situation seemed a little abnormal.

He summoned his followers and prepared to send people to Qiang Dao to remind Wang Mai to pay attention to the movements of the two Qiang.

But at this moment, a soldier who was drenched in blood and bruised all over his body stumbled in under the leadership of his personal entourage.

"Shi Lintao, the big thing is not good. Ma Teng attacked Heguan, Wang Duwei defeated Baishi, and was besieged by Ma Teng. Please help."

Shi Tao was taken aback, the pen in his hand fell with a snap, and he was speechless for a long time...
