Cao Thief

Chapter 561 Dragon and Phoenix Resentment (22)

Feiwo's family has 76 members.

Except for Fei Long, none of them survived the attack of the Hehuang Qiang people when passing through Zhangye County.

Fei's belongings were also looted by Qiang thieves.In this regard, Cao Peng, the prefect of Hexi County, issued a stern warning to the Qiangs in Hehuang: the murderer must be handed over as soon as possible, otherwise the imperial army will come to Hehuang and trample the Qiangs.

All of a sudden, the situation in the Hehuang area was changing.

Wang Mai, the false western captain, led his troops to Longqi City, eyeing him like a tiger.

And the old Qiang king Shaodang even more swears that if someone dares to conceal and not report, or harbor murderers, he will never forgive him lightly...

This is the biggest event that happened in Liangzhou just after the first month of the tenth year of Jian'an.

Cao Jun was gearing up and stationed troops in Zhangye County.The Qiangs in Hehuang, especially those Qiang tribes who resisted Cao Jun, immediately withdrew from Hehuang and fled to Huangzhong.God knows, will Cao Jun take this opportunity to settle accounts with them?

On the contrary, the tribes like Shaodang Qiang were not afraid at all.

They have been attached to the imperial court and presented their rosters, so they can be regarded as serious Han family citizens.

Among them, Shaodang Qiang Xiaowang, Ke Wu, the son of the old Qiang king, turned from a pheasant into a phoenix, and suddenly became an official of the court.Now he is serving as a military commander in the western capital's government office, that is, Longqi City.Army Sima, but commanded one, a remarkable 800 people.But for Shaodang Qiang, this is a serious military position, and he can be entitled to a salary.Shaodang Qiang was suppressed by Ma Teng for nearly 20 years, and now someone has finally become an officer with dignity.

For this reason, Shaodang Laowang went to Guzang to thank Cao Peng with a generous gift.

Because he knew very well that although Ke Wu's position as a military commander was not prominent, it represented the Han family's recognition of the Qiang people.

In the future, life for the Qiang people will surely be much easier!

"Cao Ji is the governor of Liangzhou?"

Fu Wan was so angry that he kicked over the table and jumped into a rage.

He did have enough reason to get angry!
Originally, he planned to contact the wealthy family in Guanzhong, and wanted to push Wei Duan to the position of Liangzhou Mu.When the Yuan family in Hebei was about to be destroyed, Liu Biao in Jingzhou could not support it, and the southern Xiongnu could not save the nearby fire, the hope of the Han Dynasty could only be pinned on the wealthy families in Guanzhong.Compared with the past, the powerful people in Guanzhong have indeed declined a lot...

Since Liu Xiu established Luoyang as his capital, the rise of the Kanto clan was doomed.

After [-] years, the powerful people in Guanzhong have grown stronger to a certain extent, but they are far inferior to the growth of the gentry in Guandong.Dong Zhuo's rebellion was originally an excellent opportunity for the powerful Guanzhong.Unexpectedly, Wang Yun beheaded Dong Zhuo, causing chaos in Guanzhong.Li Jue and Guo Si were raging in Guanzhong, which made Guanzhong even more powerful and severely injured.

But even so, the Guanzhong gentry is still a force not to be underestimated.

Especially after the Han Emperor returned to the east and established his capital in Xu County, a large number of Guanzhong scholars went to join him.

Although they didn't gain too much power, they still became a hidden force in the court.

Fu Wan hopes to take this opportunity to show his favor to the powerful people in Guanzhong.

Unexpectedly, he had just made the move, and news came that Wei Duan had been killed...

From beginning to end, he jumped up and down like a clown.It seemed that he had hope, but in the blink of an eye, Cao Cao raised his hand and completely destroyed his painstakingly planned scheme...

Nima, there is nothing more tragic than this in life!

The hope that I clearly saw, but in the end it was fetching water from a bamboo basket.

"Cao Junshi, you bastard! How can you be the governor of Liangzhou?"

In the room, Liu Guang's eyes were closed tightly, and his fingers tapped on the table lightly.

Under Liu Guang, an old man coughed and seemed weak.This person, with gorgeous hair, looks very old.After finally stopping coughing, he raised his head and looked at Fu Wan with a flash of disdain in his eyes.

"In the eyes of the head of the country, who is the right one?"

"This one……"

"If you ask me, Meng De is the most suitable candidate for Cao Ji to be the governor of Liangzhou.

Guanzhong is not stable now, Liangzhou is going to be settled, and a stable environment is needed even more.Although Cao Ji's talent is not very good, but he has no ambition and can't point fingers.I have also noticed what Cao Youxue did in Liangzhou before.Opening up commercial routes in the Western Regions and promoting farming, including the strategy implemented against the Qiang, Di, Xiongnu and Xianbei, is indeed a wonderful work...

If it were another person, Cao Peng's previous efforts might be completely overturned.

But Cao Ji would not do this, because Cao Peng is his son!To overthrow Cao Peng is to overthrow himself...

Therefore, I think Cao Ji is very suitable. "

After lying down, his face was flushed, and he stared at the old man, as if he was about to breathe fire.

But he just couldn't get angry!
Because the old man in front of him is the only surviving great sage in the Han dynasty.

The old man's name is Zhao Qi, and his style name is Binqing.

The Jingzhao Changling family is now 98 years old.This man had little talent and learning. He was a famous Confucian scholar in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and his qualifications were far superior to Zheng Xuan's.His wife was the niece of Ma Rong, a great Confucian in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, but because Ma Rong became a wealthy relative, he cut off contact with Ma Rong.His temperament is honest and straightforward, and he is jealous of evil, and is feared by the world.

After being persecuted many times by Emperor Huanling, he never bowed his head.

He once served as the governor of Bingzhou, but was dismissed because of the party's imprisonment.The Yellow Turban soldiers rose up, became Yilang again, and moved to Taifu and Taichang.

Looking at his life, his works are magnificent.

There are "Mencius Zhangju" and "Sanfujuelu" as representative works, known as the representative figures of Guanzhong scholars.

Historically, Zhao Qi died in Jian'an six years.

But now, because of Cao Peng's relationship, Zhang Ji, Hua Tuo and other famous doctors in the world have been attracted.

Therefore, although Zhao Qi's health has not been very good, he has lived to this day.Even Cao Cao must be respectful and respectful when he sees Zhao Qi.Regardless of age or qualifications, including academic reputation, it is nothing at all to fall in front of him.However, Zhao Qi belongs to the royalist party, so there is no need to say anything about his loyalty to Emperor Han.

It's just that the ancients all had a local feeling.

Although Zhao Qi left Guanzhong, he always hoped that Guanzhong could return to its former glory.

Whether Guanzhong can be revived depends on whether Liangzhou is stable... He has passed the age of fighting for power.From the prosperity to the decline of the Han Dynasty, Zhao Qi can be said to be able to see clearly from the beginning to the end.Now, he doesn't fight for anything, doesn't grab anything, so he can see it more clearly.From the bottom of his heart, he certainly hopes that the Han Dynasty can be rejuvenated.But he could also see clearly that the decline of the Han Dynasty was doomed from the beginning of the Second Emperor Huan Ling, and after Jiazi, it was irreversible.

Therefore, he now only hopes that the elders in his hometown can live well.

At the same time, he also has to think about his descendants...

Fu Wan has no official position, no military power, and little talent and learning; although Liu Guang is smart and talented, he is still young and has no power at all.Under such circumstances, how can they save the situation with the people in their hands who can only talk.Looking at Cao Cao again, he has great talents and general plans, holds soldiers and horses in his hands, and has various talents under his command to help him.

Zhao Qi smiled and stood up, "Master, the old man is not feeling well, so I will take my leave first."

Regardless of Fu Wan's expression, Zhao Qi left slowly.

Liu Guang got up and respectfully sent Zhao Qi out.

"Marquis Linyi, look, look at this old man..."

"Master, don't blame anyone anymore.

Wei Duan is dead, and the situation in Guanzhong is irreversible.You and I now, should bear it again and again, and look for other opportunities.

This matter, as if it never happened.

The battle between the powerful in Guanzhong has nothing to do with you and me. "

"Could it be that's all?"

Fu Wan stood in a daze for a while, and suddenly burst into tears, "Your Majesty wants to rejuvenate the Han Dynasty, but now... the old minister is incompetent, the old minister is incompetent, I am ashamed of Your Majesty."

"My lord, what are you doing?"

Liu Guang frowned, and shouted sharply: "Crying and crying, what's the proper way? Today, the world is still dominated by the Han Dynasty. So Cao Youxue is in Hexi, and he also considers himself a Han people? Now the court is controlled by traitors, you and I should do our best. Try your best to share your majesty's worries. What is it like to cry and cry at every turn? Could it be that you can cry out a ZTE world?
If possible, I will cry with you! "

After crying, it stopped abruptly.

"Marquis Linyi, what do you say?"

"Didn't I say, forbearance, forbearance... Have you ever seen a poisonous snake hunt and kill its prey? Every time it strikes, it will always coil up first, and then charge up to attack. You and I now need to learn from that poisonous snake and coil up our bodies first ,never fail."

"But, Cao Youxue..."

"The matter of Cao Peng, don't cause trouble again."

Liu Guang smiled bitterly, "Didn't you notice that the atmosphere in the court has changed in the past few days? The people in Guanzhong didn't shout very loudly, and they seemed to have no confidence. This time, Cao Cao was cruel. Merit and demerit On the contrary, he was dismissed from office, and the ghost salary was three years old... If Wei Duan hadn't died, I am afraid Cao Cao would not make a decision next time.

He has already given enough face to the people in Guanzhong... If there is trouble at this time, there may be an accident, which is not beautiful. "

"That……"

"You don't want to meddle in this matter, I will handle it myself.

On the other hand, Liu Jingsheng in Jingzhou, you need to strengthen contact... Also, I have prepared a batch of baggage.You find an opportunity, send it to Xinye, and hand it over to Liu Bei.Nowadays, there are not many people we can rely on, so we should cherish them even more. "

A gleam of relief flashed in Fu Wan's eyes.

Liu Guang has grown up!
He has grown from a "Han dog" back then to a wolf of the Han family.

After returning from the Southern Huns, he changed a lot.In the past, Liu Guang was unwilling to participate in government affairs, but now, he has gained a lot of voice in the court.Even though he is still very weak now, he is the hope of the Han Dynasty ZTE.

Thinking of this, I felt happy in my heart.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
When Cao Peng returned from Rile, the Lantern Festival was over.

When he came back, he found out that Cai Yan had left Wuwei with A Meiguai, and he didn't know where he went.Don't worry about her safety, though.Bu Zhi asked Hande to lead an army of [-] soldiers to accompany him for protection.In Guanzhong, there is absolutely no danger.

Just what is she going to do?
Bu Zhi doesn't know either...

"Towards that?"

Cao Peng was puzzled.

I haven't heard that Cai Yan has any relatives in Chaona, that's fine, what are you doing in Chaona?
"Have you notified Prefect Zhang?"

"Master, you have been notified."

"That's good!"

Cao Peng scratched his head, still full of doubts.

However, with Han De leading 800 people to protect him, and Zhang Ji taking care of him stably, it seems that nothing will happen.

Cao Peng himself still has many things to deal with.

For example, his marriage to Zhen Mi.

The Zhen family disagreed on whether to marry Zhen Mi to Cao Peng.For example, Zhen Mi's eldest sister, Zhen Jiang, was somewhat against it.

After all, the Zhen family was born as an official, so they have a keen intuition for this situation.

Otherwise, it was impossible to decisively abandon Zhongshan Foundation and go to Hexi to join Cao Peng.Now, the Zhen family in Zhongshan has perished. First, they were raided by the Black Mountain bandits, and then they were implicated by the Yuan family, and they were completely killed.

On the contrary, those members of the Zhen clan who ran to Hexi back then gained a firm foothold.

Relying on the big tree of Cao Peng, the Zhen family rose rapidly in Wuwei.Zhen Yao is now officially appointed as the head of Wuwei County, and at the same time holds the supervisory power over the Hexi County Chamber of Commerce.At least from the current point of view, the revival of the Zhen family will only happen sooner or later.

Unexpectedly, Cao Peng killed Wei Duan.

Although he is the general of Beizhong and the prefect of Hexi.

But the crime of killing Shangguan without permission...

Zhen Jiang felt that this incident might affect Cao Peng.

If the Zhen family got involved with Cao Peng, they might run into trouble.

But Zhen Mi's younger sister, Zhen Rong, disagreed.She supported her second sister's marriage to Cao Peng, and said that one should not be so forceful.Not to mention that Zhen Mi was pregnant with Cao Peng's child, even if she didn't, she couldn't just be ungrateful like this.

Forgot to say something!
Zhen Rong, who is only 14 years old, is very close to Cao Zhang!

In the end, the old lady said: Since we decided to go to Mr. Cao, no matter what Mr. Cao is, we have no other choice.Because there is a strong brand of Cao Peng on Zhen's shell.Therefore, Zhen Mi must marry Cao Peng... No matter whether Cao Peng is up or down, the Zhen family must closely follow in Cao Peng's footsteps.

In this regard, the Zhen family is inferior to the Su family.

At least Su Shuang has unswervingly supported Cao Peng until now.

If the Zhen family becomes Qin Muchu, they will completely lose hope of revival...

The marriage between Cao Peng and Zhen Mi was not planned in a big way.

After all, Zhen Mi is a second wife, and she entered the Cao family as a concubine, so it is naturally impossible to be too grand.

But in order to make up for it, Cao Peng set up a family banquet, including Pang Tong, governor of Hexi, Cheng Gongying, governor of Jincheng, Yan Xing, captain of the south, Gan Ning, general of martial arts, Deng Fan, captain of Zhengqiang, Pan Zhang, captain of Qiang, and Hao Zhao, captain of Chencang. Waiting for people, please come one after another.In addition, there are Bu Zhi, Shi Tao, Xia Houlan and others who have not yet been appointed. Except for Kan Ze, all of Cao Peng's team have been recruited, giving Zhen's enough face.This also made Zhen Yao feel extremely happy.

On the third day after the marriage, news came from the imperial court that Ren Buzhi was the prefect of Wuwei County and Shi Tao was the prefect of Zhangye County.

And Deng Fan moved to Zhengqiang Zhonglang General, stationed in Wuwei County.

Xia Houlan served as the captain of the Hexi commanding army and left the town of Lingwu Valley... In addition, Cao Cao allowed Cao Peng to implement the Fubing system in the three counties of Zhangye and Zhangye in Wuwei, Hexi.

Cao Peng, finally let go of his worries!

In the tenth year of Jian'an, on February [-], the dragon raised its head.

Cao Peng personally presided over the Wuwei County Tuntian Sacrifice, and then returned to the city.

Just sat down, before he could take a sip of water, he saw Pang De hurried in, "Young Master, something big is not right!"

Cao Peng couldn't help being startled, and asked in astonishment, "Why are you panicking?"

"Weizhang sent someone to send a message that the imperial court ordered General Zhang Yun to arrest the young master. He will leave Dashan Pass and arrive in Liangzhou in a few days."
