Cao Thief

Chapter 563 Master and Apprentice (22)

Accidentally, I actually wrote [-] words today.

Hehe, I have the audacity to ask for monthly tickets and recommended tickets... I don't know if this month can break through [-] monthly tickets?
If possible, at the beginning of next month, there will be surprises for the old and the new.

————————————————————————————

Wuwei is far away...

The outline of the city wall of pines is no longer visible.

Entering Jincheng from Wuwei, Zhang Yun felt a completely different feeling from what he saw when he came.Wuwei is full of vigor and vitality everywhere.In contrast, Jincheng County looks a bit desolate.As for Longxi, when entering the territory for the first time, one can feel the desolation and disastrous defeat after the war.From Longxi all the way to Wuwei, it feels more and more prosperous and bustling, but on the way home, it feels more and more dilapidated.

No wonder, it has been a year since Cao Peng captured Wuwei.

After a year of recuperation, he is gradually regaining his vitality.

Especially since the beginning of this year, Wuwei began to implement the law of farming, and various policies to support farming and mulberry were introduced, which also added more enthusiasm to Wuwei County.Jincheng County was last year and did not experience too many wars!However, in the early stage, in order to support Ma Teng, Jincheng County spent a lot of money and food, which seriously damaged its vitality.Now that Cheng Gongying is in charge of Jincheng County, it is impossible to implement the method of farming on a large scale.He needs at least a year to prepare and recuperate.

As for Longxi County, it was even worse.

In terms of ability, Zhao Ang is undoubtedly stronger than Cheng Gongying.

But throughout the second half of the ninth year of Jian'an, Longxi County was shrouded in flames of war.First, Ma Teng attacked Longxi, and then Xiangwu and Zhang County were anxious; Lintao fought fiercely, Didao won a great victory... and even later, the conflict between Cao Peng and Liangzhou Wei's troops caused the complete collapse of Longxi County.According to Cao Peng's estimate, if Longxi wanted to regain its vitality, it would take less than two years to succeed.The reason... is very simple!Population, population... The successive wars have caused the population of Longxi County to drop sharply.Longxi County in the period of Wei Duan had a population of about [-]. By the end of the Longxi War, the population had dropped sharply to more than [-] in just a few months.Its population is even smaller than that of Hexi County.

In such a situation, it is indeed troublesome to recover.

This is also the reason why Zhang Xi feels desolate and dilapidated...

Zhang Yun gradually recovered from the shock when he left Guzang.

However, he was still a little nervous.

All the way from Guzang, through Cangsong and other counties, there will often be scenes of welcoming and seeing off by the whole city, which makes him feel inexplicably nervous.

But at the same time of tension, there is also some blood surging.

Sir, be it!
The understanding of Cao Peng seems to have deepened a lot along with this journey.

In the past, even after being captured by Gan Ning, Zhang He always felt that Cao Peng had a false name.He was able to achieve such a great reputation because of his identity as Cao Cao's nephew.If it weren't for Cao Cao's halo, it would probably be ordinary.But now, Zhang Xi found that he seemed to be wrong!Cao Peng was able to make most of Liangzhou surrender in a short period of time, not because he was Cao Cao's nephew.This is his skill and ability, not his origin.

In fact, Zhang Xi also noticed it when he was in Chang'an!

Even Yang Fu, Zhao Qu and others who opposed Cao Peng most fiercely were only angry that Cao Peng killed Wei Duan and his son.

Even when he was leaving Chang'an, Yang Fu chased after him and stopped Zhang He.

"Junyi can't be rude when he sees General Cao."

At that time, Zhang He still found it interesting.

Don't you, Yang Yishan, want Cao Peng to die?Why did you come here hypocritically and say these good things for Cao Peng?
Now, he seems to understand!
Yang Fu's impeachment of Cao Peng and the pursuit of Cao Peng's charges are personal friendship.

He has been with Wei Duan for a long time, and he can be regarded as Wei Duan's confidant.Moreover, Wei Duan represented the interests of the Guanzhong gentry, and Yang Fu happened to be a member of the Guanzhong gentry.However, in terms of axiom, Yang Fu may not agree with Wei Duan.In fact, Cao Peng's occupation of Wuwei and guarding Hexi is definitely a great thing for Liangzhou... He made Liangzhou no longer suffer from the troubles of the Northwest, and could develop steadily.Moreover, Yang Fu also agrees with Cao Peng's policies in the northwest.

As far as righteousness is concerned, Yang Fu and Cao Peng have no deep hatred.

Even in some respects, their goals are the same, and they are all thinking about the future of Guanzhong.

Cao Peng, what kind of person are you?
What kind of person is a person who can make your enemies full of praise?
Looking at the car battle ahead, Zhang Xi fell into deep thought!
Cao Peng still rode in a carriage, but after leaving Guzang, the white camel soldiers and flying camel soldiers automatically formed protection.

Zhang He's trilogy can't get close to Cao Peng's chariot battle at all.

Especially the white camel soldiers, all white camels, and the soldiers' white clothes fluttered, revealing a different charm.And camels have a unique smell that can make war horses restless.Even the flying camel soldiers seldom camped with the white camel soldiers.The flying camel was in front, and the white camel was protecting him, and Zhang Yun was amazed by the methodical way in which he marched.

Cao Peng did not ignore the training of the dental soldiers because he was dismissed from office.

On the contrary, along the way, Cao Peng continued to practice soldiers and horses, which opened Zhang He's eyes...

During the march, Pound led two hundred flying camels in front, acting as scouts, scouting and reconnaissance.But the white camel soldiers have already marched away in a formation of geese, protecting the chariot battle, and advancing slowly.As soon as there was a warning sign (the imaginary enemy designed by Cao Peng), the flying camel soldiers immediately retreated, and the white camel soldiers formed a square formation to advance forward.The flying camels were gathering momentum on both sides of the white camel soldiers. When Cao Peng issued an order, they immediately divided into two teams and attacked at the same time.First use riding and shooting, and then use big swords and spears, showing unparalleled power.

Zhang Yun only watched it with ease, and later, he simply ran to Cao Peng and begged him to let his trilogy act as an imaginary enemy.

In this way, the boring journey becomes lively.

At this time, Zhang He was not the general of Wei State who was feared by Zhuge Liang.

His art of war is still a little immature, even a little naive.Whether it is marching and fighting, or forming an array to meet the enemy, there are obvious traces of carving.After being defeated again and again, Zhang He's tactics became more flexible.

He no longer sticks to the tactics in the military book, but gradually reveals his style.

When the convoy arrived in Huangshui, Zhang Yun showed a calm spirit, which made Cao Peng deeply moved.

What a great man!

Sure enough, he is indeed Zhuge Liang's most feared general of the Wei State in his later years.

His progress is very obvious, faintly revealing the style of a general; of course, Pound's progress is also very large, from the initial fierce pursuit and fierce attack to the later stage of flexibility, his military characteristics have gradually become prominent, which is impressive. My eyes lit up.

After each confrontation, Cao Peng will comment.

And Zhang Yun is like a studious student, listening to Cao Peng's teachings.

"Today, Junyi, I'm a little more cautious!

On the battlefield, there are ever-changing changes, and you will never stick to the dogma in the military book.Sima Fa, Sun Wu's thirteen chapters, and Wei Liao's book are indeed the crystallization of the wisdom of predecessors.But if you blindly follow the art of war, you will fall into the lower class.

Sun Tzu said: Soldiers are deceitful!
Why is it weird?

To put it bluntly, it is a change.There is a variable in the good fortune of the world... When Sun Wuzi wrote the thirteen articles, it was still at the forefront of the war.By the time of Wei Liaoshu, the state of Qin had implemented cavalry warfare on a large scale and created the three-cone formation.The times are developing, and the art of war is also evolving.There is a saying that all changes remain the same, what you should grasp is the root, not according to the dogmas stated in the book of war... In contrast, Ling Ming's performance today is amazing.Although you and Anping have been in a divided state, but when the white camels were having trouble advancing, you concentrated the strength of the cavalry and launched an attack, routing Jun Yi's flank and resulting in today's victory. "

Ever changing?In the creation of heaven and earth, there are variables?
Two completely different concepts were fused together, allowing Zhang Xi and Pang De to see a whole new world.

Huangshui, surging!
During the spring flood season, the river surged.

The convoy was divided into three teams. The white camel soldiers guarded the chariots and formed a battalion of their own. The flying camel soldiers hung outside to guard the surroundings.

Zhang Yun's trilogy, on the other hand, formed a circular formation, protecting the white camel soldiers in the center.

He stood by the campfire and watched from a distance.

Cao Peng held Cao Yun in his arms and ran around the chariot, making Cao Yun giggle.And Bu Luan was beside the car, carefully cooking the food. Guo Huan and Zhen Mi smiled like flowers, looking at Cao Peng and his son, laughing like silver bells from time to time.

And the white camel soldiers guarded the surroundings loyally, describing them as vigilant.

At this time, Cao Peng, who is a conquest of the world, Cao Sanpian, who is so powerful in Liangzhou, is clearly like a child, without the slightest image.

Son, which one of you is the real you?

When others were arrested, could it be that they were frowning.

But you seem to be okay, you are at ease...

Anyway, if he put it on himself, Zhang Yun would definitely feel wronged and even feel injustice.

But look at Cao Peng...

Suddenly, there was a rush of horseshoes from afar.

With a loud whistle, the flying camel soldiers immediately got on their horses and got ready to meet the enemy.

The white camel soldiers formed a circle to protect Cao Peng's family.On the contrary, it was Zhang He's [-]-part opera, which seemed a little flustered.

Zhang He rubbed his cheeks, smiled wryly and shook his head.

This, what kind of fairy will it be?
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++
Coming from Wuwei, Zhang Yun has experienced too many such situations along the way.

Three days ago, they encountered a Qiang cavalry blocking their way.The leader turned out to be Ke Wu, the young king of Hehuang Shaodang Lao Qiang.

It is said that this Ke Wu has to be burned as the old king's order, hoping to keep Cao Peng in Liangzhou.

The two sides almost clashed. If Cao Peng hadn't come forward and scolded Ke Wuhao, Ke Wu wouldn't even dare to say a fart, and obediently gave way to pass.However, Ke Wu still left a lot of gifts, including three large carts.

When leaving Guzang, Cao Peng and his party consisted of three chariots.

But when they arrived in Huangshui, the number of cars had increased to more than ten...

"Don't panic, see clearly before talking."

Looking at the steady Cao Peng Yabing, Zhang Yun felt ashamed for a while.

These parts of my own are all Xu Du's elite.But compared to other people's private soldiers, they are simply not at the same level.

Not only the difference in equipment, but also in other aspects, they are far inferior to them.

Zhang Yun suddenly had a strange impulse. He didn't want to be a lieutenant of Laoshizi anymore, but a general under Cao Peng. It shouldn't be bad after all.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm Cao Zhang, and I'm here to meet the teacher."

The cavalry army from afar has about 300 people.

Headed by two teenagers, tall and strong.

Ride first, get off the horse, wear a long coat, and shout loudly on the horse.

"Flying camel, bow down."

With a deep shout from Pound, the flying camel soldiers immediately stopped their march.

Cao Peng held Cao Yun in his arms and looked up in surprise, "Why did Ziwen come here? He didn't guard Zhangye, why did he come here?"

Handed over Cao Yun to Bu Luan, and then took Cai Di and walked forward.

The white camel soldiers automatically separated a path, and at the same time, Zhang Xi also reacted and quickly let the trilogy out of the way.

Cao Zhang, that is Cao Cao's eldest son!

After the death of Cao Ang and Cao Pi, it is not an exaggeration to call Cao Zhang the eldest son.

But when Cao Zhang was still more than ten steps away from the circle, he kicked off his horse.

Behind him, Niu Gang followed closely.

Cao Zhang didn't pay any attention to Zhang Yun's salute at all, let alone those parts.He ran forward quickly, and knelt down in front of Cao Peng, "The teacher returned home, why didn't you tell Huang Xu that the teacher should not be a disciple?"

Zhang He was startled by Cao Zhang's move.

He knew that Cao Zhang and Cao Chong had all been enlightened under Cao Peng.

But speaking of it, Cao Peng and Cao Zhang belonged to the same generation, and no one really thought of them as masters and apprentices.

But now it seems...

Zhang He suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

"General, why is this so?"

"I'm glad."

"Happy?"

Zhang He smiled wryly and said, "I'm glad I've come all this way, and I didn't show any disrespect. Otherwise, when I return to Xudu, I'm afraid life would be worse than death."

After listening to that pro, suddenly realized.

He glanced at Cao Peng in the distance, and couldn't help feeling secretly.

Nima, it is unprecedented to be a prisoner to the level of Cao Peng...

Cao Peng pulled Cao Zhang up, "Ziwen, you and Niu Gang are not in Zhangye, what are you doing here?"

"Sir, you are returning to the Central Plains today, how can you not have disciples by your side.

I discussed it with Lao Niu and decided to go back with my husband.I have informed General Wang Mai that he has ordered Ke Wu to leave the town of Zhangye County.When Niu and I first came here, we wrote a letter to Xudu. It is estimated that by this time, Luoyang has already passed.

Hehe, Lao Niu and I have decided that we will go wherever the husband is going! "

"Bullshit!"

Cao Peng was furious.

"Ziwen, you are the captain of Zhangye's army, how can you leave your post without authorization?

Soldiers are a major event of the country.If you say you don't do it and don't do it, do you think this is a child's play?It's just nonsense! "

Cao Peng's angry shout reached Zhang Yun's ears.

But Zhang Xi grinned...

That's Cao Cao's son!

In terms of seniority, you are Cao Zhang's elder brother, and you actually reprimanded him as if you were scolding your grandson, without mercy.

However, Cao Zhang was not angry.

"I don't care, I'm here anyway.

If Mr. wants to drive me away, that's absolutely impossible... I think Mr. Sui can learn a lot, so is it possible that Mr. Sui wants to teach Cang Shu all those knowledge?Mister can't be so eccentric, anyway, I'm with Mister Ding..."

"you……"

A warm current suddenly surged in Cao Peng's heart.

That's what Cao Zhang said, but it made him feel a deep sense of concern.

On the contrary, since he killed Wei Duan until now, there has been no greeting from Mrs. Huan.Logically speaking, even if Mrs. Huan couldn't change Cao Cao's decision, she should at least send someone to express condolences and tell Cao Cao how to deal with it.

However, there was no movement at all!

This also made Cao Peng feel a little dissatisfied.

On the contrary, it was Cao Zhang, who heard that he was going to be taken back for questioning, gave up his fame and fame, and chased him all the way from Zhangye.Looking at his dusty suit, Cao Peng would be lying if he said he was not moved.Cao Zhang has a pure heart.This kind of sincerity cannot be exchanged with any wealth.Cao Peng looked at him and couldn't help laughing!
"Forget it, since you have decided so, I will not stop you.

However, to be clear, are you willing to leave your charming little beauty?And after you go back, you will have to be forced by the lord to get married, so don't complain to me then.I can't help you with this matter. "

"Then... I will stay in Xingyang."

Cao Peng laughed dumbfounded, "Forget you!"

As he spoke, he took Cao Zhang's arm and called Niu Gang again.

"Just in time, Xiaoluan cooked dinner, just enough to fill my stomach... Rest early today, and we have to go on the road tomorrow."
