Cao Thief

Chapter 540 The Battle of Liangzhou ([-])
It was night, and Feiwo returned home.

But seeing a young woman in brocade clothes coming up to her, she gave a little blessing and said softly: "Father, I heard that Ma Chao is here?"

"Yes, come to ask for payment."

Feiwo looked at the woman in front of him, with a loving look in his eyes.

This woman is obviously his daughter, Mrs. Fei who married Ma Teng.

"Father, don't let it stop, and don't let it mess you up.

I heard from my aunt that Ma Teng's urging of food and pay is also very tight recently, and some people in the treasury can't afford it.My daughter has a question, and I don't know if I should say it. "

Fewo waved his hand, "Good girl, but it's okay to say."

"Is it Ma Teng, or the imperial court?"

Fei Wo was stunned, and smiled wryly: "My dear girl, don't you ask this question knowingly? Naturally, the imperial court is the largest... Now that Sikong has wiped out Hebei and captured Jizhou, no one can stop the unification of the north. Ma Teng, although he can do something, He also made an alliance with Zhang Lu, but I'm afraid he is not Cao Gong's opponent... Xiangna Yuan Shao was so powerful at the beginning, didn't he become a dead bone in the tomb?
My dear girl, this is not a very good question. "

Mrs. Fei said, "Since father doesn't know, why is he still hesitating?"

"This one……"

"I heard that Duke Cao has sent troops to command his brothers to garrison Chang'an.

Today there is Cao Hong in Chang'an, and Cao Peng in Wuwei.The two teamed up, and my father thought that Ma Teng might be hostile? "

The meaning of Madam Fei's words has been clearly expressed.

Feiwo is not a fool, how could he fail to understand the mystery?But he still has some worries in his heart... Anyway, he is Ma Teng's old man.He had already turned against Han Sui once, and if he turned against Ma Teng again, he would really lose his credibility in the future.Thinking of this, he couldn't help being upset again, and his brows were furrowed.

Although Mrs. Fei married Ma Teng, it was only a political marriage.

Just imagine, she is 30 years younger than Ma Teng, how can she have true feelings?
In the past, she still had a horse iron to rely on, but now that the horse iron is dead, who can she rely on?Speaking of hate, she is indeed full of hatred for Cao Peng; but this does not mean that she will continue to hate blindly.Mrs. Fei came from the Fei family. She used to marry Ma Teng for the Fei family, but now she had to find a way out for the Fei family, so she had to let go of her hatred...

Feiwo was very embarrassed and bowed his head in silence.

Madam Fei said again: "Father, how much money does Ma Chao ask for this time?"

"It was said to be [-] shi, but I pressed it down to [-] shi."

"How much money does Ma Teng need?"

"Thirty thousand stones..."

"Father, the entire Jincheng County only collected 20 hu.

Today, Ma Chao needs 10,000 shi, and tomorrow Ma Teng needs [-] shi... There are also two Qiangs in Huangzhong, who need to continue to help, and the [-]+ people in Longxi also need to have enough food.The salary is only so little, father, how long can you support it?
Now Ma Teng sees that you are useful and obeys your advice.

But if you are useless, will he still pay attention to you?Xiaotie is gone, but the daughter doesn't want to have a father anymore. "

Feiwo let out a long sigh.

"Jia Changshi, what do you say?"

"He guaranteed me a salary of two thousand shi."

Madam Fei was startled, and said softly, "Isn't that a prefect?"

"But I can't trust him...you say he's just a long history, how can I keep my position as prefect?"

"Father, you are so confused!" Madam Fei said, "It's not Jia Changshi who protects you, it's General Cao who protects you!

General Cao is Cao Gong's nephew, and he is very famous.

If he can't protect you as a prefect of two thousand shi, my daughter thinks that no one in Liangzhou can protect you as a prefect.Even if it's Wei Duan, it's unlikely...Since he said so, he must be sure, why is father hesitating? "

"But he protected me, it was Zhangye!"

Madam Fei couldn't help but fell silent.

After a while, she said softly, "Father thinks that if Ma Teng is betrayed, will he still be able to live in Jincheng?"

"This one……"

"Actually, Zhangye is Zhangye, and my daughter thinks it's not bad. I was in Guzang, and I heard people say that General Cao wanted to build a Hexi Corridor to connect the Western Regions and Guanzhong. Zhangye is on that corridor. Huang, but it is a promising destination. My daughter thinks that if General Cao protects you, such as the prefect of Jincheng or Wuwei prefect, it will be unreliable. But if it is Zhangye County, my daughter believes...that is a place that General Cao can control .”

Feiwo raised his head suddenly, "Daughter, do you really want to rebel?"

"If father wants to make Fei's family prosperous and his elder brother to be famous, now there is only one way left."

Madam Fei's categorical words made Fei Wo finally make up his mind.

"Forget it, the survival of the Fei family depends on this."

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++
Jincheng, Yunwu official post.

Jia Xing stood with his hands down, his expression extremely respectful.

In the house, there is an aluminum charcoal brazier, the charcoal fire is raging, and the small room is as warm as spring.Cao Peng sat on the couch, put the bamboo slips on the desk, looked up at Jia Xing, and said softly, "So, Ma Mengqi is here with me."

"Exactly!"

"Then Feiwo, what is your attitude?"

"Looking at the situation, I must be a little bit moved, but I'm afraid I can't make up my mind all at once.

But I can guess what he is worried about now.I was still afraid that if he turned against Ma Teng, his reputation would be bad. "

"Then tell me, when will he make a decision?"

"Only for a couple of days."

Cao Peng nodded, lost in thought.

Jia Xing arrived at Luanniao that day and offered a plan to Cao Peng.

Jia Xing is in Guzang and has been paying attention to the development of the battle.He is not good at marching and fighting, but he is curious about strategy, and he will save him if he attacks.

The key to the Battle of Liangzhou is not in Luanniao or Longxi, but in Jincheng!
This is the judgment made by Jia Xing.And the key to Jincheng County is Feiwo... If it can be said that Feiwo is lowered, great things will be accomplished.Of course, this is not an easy task.Fortunately, Jia Xing still has a trump card in his hand, and that is Mrs. Fei.He visited the door many times and talked with Mrs. Fei, knowing that she was a thoughtful woman.

Even though Cao Peng and her had a feud against her son, but Mrs. Fei was more concerned with the future of the Fei family.

Therefore, Jia Xing persuaded Mrs. Fei to give up the hatred with Cao Peng.After all, in the current situation, Ma Tie is dead, and Mrs. Fei has no choice.If she insists on revenge, her family will perish in the end, and no one can escape.

But if she is willing to cooperate, the premium family has a great future.

After thinking about it for a long time, Mrs. Fei decided to cooperate with Jia Xing and said that Feiwo would be demoted.

After all, the son is dead, so is it possible that the parents and elder brother should also be buried with Ma Teng?
When Jia Xing told Cao Peng about this, Cao Peng suggested that he should come to Yunwu with him.On the one hand, if Feiwo is undecided, Cao Peng can come forward to make him make up his mind; at the same time, he also wants to inquire about Wang Mai and others.Wang Mai Shitao, Pang De Jiang Jiong, like nothing, no news, this makes Cao Peng very worried.As for the Luanniao, he wasn't too worried.After he leaves, Deng Fan can take over.

Deng Fan and Cao Peng are sworn brothers, and they are calm and moderate when they are in trouble.

Coupled with the assistance of Zhao Ang and others, it is enough to keep Wuwei County intact.

In this way, Cao Peng concealed his identity, took Pang Ming and a hundred white camels, and quietly followed a caravan from the Western Regions to Yunwu.

Yun Wu's situation is not optimistic.

The most important thing is that the continuous wars have made Yunwu lack of supplies, which is a bit unbearable.

Fewo was very pleasantly surprised by Mrs. Fei's return.But so far, Jia Xing has come forward to contact Feiwo.

Ma Chao's sudden arrival really surprised Cao Peng.

But this also shows one thing, that is, Jincheng County has almost reached its limit.

In fact, with the strength of Jincheng County, it is impossible to support two battlefields at the same time.Not to mention that at the same time as the two battlefields were fighting, the two Qiangs in Huangzhong and the huge Longxi County had to be rescued.Fei Wo couldn't hold it anymore... This was the judgment made by Cao Peng and Jia Xing.Now, there was only one chance left for Feiwo to make his final decision.

Jia Xing said: "Tomorrow I'll go to Fei's mansion again to see if I can get Mrs. Fei to use some strength."

"Better, keep an eye on Ma Chao."

"Ok?"

"Ma Mengqi is also a warrior.

This person is not as brave and foolhardy as I imagined before, if I can get rid of him, it will be able to get rid of my troubles.

If Ma Chao dies, Ma Teng will be no more than the dry bones in the tomb, and he will die sooner or later.You can test Fei Wo's tone, if he is willing to kill Ma Chao, I will guarantee him Fei's family, prosperity and wealth.This is a rare opportunity. "

As Cao Peng spoke, there was a terrifying murderous intent in his eyes.

He didn't have much hatred for Ma Chao, but he felt that if Ma Chao could not be dealt with, a catastrophe would inevitably result.

Jia Xing nodded, "I'll figure it out and explain it to Feiwo."

At this moment, Pang Ming's voice suddenly came from outside the door: "My lord, Feiwo is visiting, please meet Junshi Jia."

Cao Peng was startled when he heard this, and then smiled.

Jia Xing said: "It seems that I don't need to persuade Mrs. Fei, Fei Wo can't stand it anymore."

"You ask him to come to the study to discuss, and I'll go next door."

While talking, Cao Peng stood up and walked out of the room.Jia Xing asked Pang Ming to lead Fei Wo into the study, where he turned on the oil lamp a little, and then waited quietly.After a while, Fei Wo followed Pang Ming into the house with a nervous expression.

"Master Fei, why did you come here late at night?"

Fei Wo looked at Jia Xing and said suddenly: "I can donate Jincheng County, but I need protection."

"Assure?"

"I need a warrant from Mr. Cao to keep my family safe. At the same time, I also need a guarantee, that is, the position of the prefect of Zhangye County. For these two things, if Jia Changshi can make me feel at ease, Fei can do it. Raise troops against horses."

Jia Xing was stunned!
Fewo's directness made him feel a little overwhelmed.

Fortunately, he soon came to his senses, "As Fei Gong said, I will try my best. But how can Fei Gong guarantee that he will donate Jincheng County?"

"My son Fei Long is now stationed in Luodu Valley.

Among the eight generals of Jincheng, Yang Qiumawan has a very close relationship with me.Yang Qiu will be stationed in Yuzhong first. As long as I surrender, Yang Qiu will definitely give up Yuzhong.And Mawan is now outside Yunwu City, I can ask him to help and control Yunwu... If I surrender, Ju Chengyin will also stand still.At that time, Chang Shi can order the general to send troops and defeat Ma Chao. "

After Fei Wo finished speaking, he looked straight at Jia Xing.

"But I don't know, how can Jia Changshi make me feel at ease?"
