Cao Thief

Chapter 67
Dilemma?

Dian Wei couldn't turn the corner!
Wei Yan and Xia Houlan had guessed something, and their expressions suddenly changed.

Cough cough cough...

Cao Peng coughed violently, and a morbid blush appeared on his pale face.Sitting for a while, and talking for a while, made him feel tired like never before.So he changed his posture, resting his head on the porch pillar and hanging his back in the air.

"Big Hei, I heard what you just said. Xiahou also said that he spent a night on the west bank and tried to attack the Yushui defense line several times, but failed. What does this mean? Zhang Boluan has already controlled it. The situation in Wancheng! Maybe you would think that Cao Gong will counterattack. But I tell you, Cao Gong will counterattack, but it will never be at the moment. Nanyang is powerful, and he will definitely not sit back and watch Cao Gong continue to attack Wancheng... They were afraid of Duke Cao's power, so they surrendered without a fight. Now, Zhang Boluan has set the best example for them. If Duke Cao continues to conquer Nanyang, it will be a hundred times more difficult than before."

Dian Wei's swarthy cheeks twitched a few times, but he didn't speak.

Xia Houlan remained silent, just listening quietly.

Before, he might have thought that Cao Peng had something to do with Dian Wei, and that he might even be a member of Cao Cao's clan, so he was afraid.But fear is fear, but it is impossible to say respect.But now, Xia Houlan already knew that Cao Peng and Dian Wei had nothing to do with each other.

But in my heart, I felt a little more respect for no reason...

This little doll is not easy!
Wei Yan would not even open his mouth, because he knew that Cao Peng had a strong view of the overall situation.

"If only Nanyang is powerful, Cao Gong will fight. The problem is that there are many princes in the north, how can others allow Cao Gong to let go?"

Dian Wei showed a dignified look, "You mean..."

"Yuan Shu in Huainan, Yuan Shao in Hebei, and Liu Biao in Jingzhou... especially Liu Biao, will definitely not sit back and watch Wancheng be lost. In that case, the gate of Jingxiang will be open, and Jingzhou will definitely be threatened. Duke Cao welcomes the emperor and occupies the name of righteousness." , has already been feared by others. If Duke Cao forcibly conquers at this time, he will definitely be hostile by others. Liu Biao is also a clan member of the Han family, so he can join forces with Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, and even Lu Bu in Xuzhou. In order to avoid being attacked from all sides, Duke Cao only Retreating is the only way to retreat."

Cao Peng talked eloquently.

He was leaning against the porch pillar, with a thin body and pale cheeks, but at this moment there was an aura that could not be underestimated.

For the first time, Dian Wei said solemnly: "Ah Fu, what is the predicament you mentioned just now?"

"Now Zhang Boluan is guarding Yushui to defend Cao Gong. But once Cao Gong withdraws, Zhang Boluan's next step will definitely be to wipe out the rebellious soldiers under his rule. At that time, the powerful families in Nanyang will cooperate with all their strength. Big black, what do you think? , what should we do to escape from this net of heaven and earth?"

Cao Peng's words made Dian Wei's face change.

He nodded slightly, and couldn't help feeling a little worried...

Fight and kill!
Dian Wei was never afraid.But this does not mean that he can fight all the way back to Xudu from Nanyang.Even though he looks big and thick, he is not a fool.After hearing Cao Peng's remarks, Dian Wei couldn't help becoming nervous.

"Ah Fu, what do you think we should do?"

Cao Peng coughed again, and said with a wry smile: "I just need to know what to do... The most urgent thing is to get out of Wancheng before Liu Biao and Zhang Xiu resume their relationship. That's all I can think of , How to jump out, you can discuss it yourself.

Anyway, after I recover a bit, I will go home to see my parents.How do you do it, I really can't think of a good idea..."

The three of Dian Wei were all silent!
Cao Peng is indeed a little scared, because he knows that Zhang Xiu is not scary, what is scary is another person behind Zhang Xiu: Jia Xu!
Zhang Xiu's rebellion this time should have come from Jia Xu's handwriting.

Just by watching his attacks one after another, Cao Peng can understand how terrifying Jia Xu is.

In short, he doesn't want to be an enemy of Jia Xu at all...

"I'm hungry!" Cao Peng said.

"Eat first, eat first... Only when you have a full stomach can you plan spiritually."

Dian Wei hurriedly shouted hello, Xia Houlan and Wei Yan took action one after another.Wei Yan tore off a rabbit leg, and Xia Houlan brought Cao Peng a bowl of rabbit bone soup, which contained mixed noodles and meaty fragrance.Cao Peng was not too polite, he ate a rabbit leg hungrily, and drank two bowls of soup with bones and noodles.The empty stomach suddenly became comfortable.Cao Peng just talked for a while, feeling very tired, so he lay down on the haystack, closed his eyes and rested.At the same time, he silently practiced the Twelve Duan Jin Jing Gong in Bai Yuan Tong Bei.Although it can't match the eight-character mantra, Twelve Duan Jin Jing Gong is undoubtedly the most suitable for his physical condition in front of the door.

"Lieutenant Dian, what should we do?"

Xia Houlan drank a bowl of soup and couldn't help asking.

Dian Wei scratched his head, but couldn't think of a good solution... It's okay to let him use his hands, but it's really difficult for him to use his brain.

"Mr. Wen, what do you say?"

Wei Yan also scratched his head, and said softly: "To the north of Wancheng is Nan'e County and Dongwu Pavilion. From Wancheng all the way to the north, the Yushui River is very wide. Now that the spring flood is approaching, the river is bound to rush. Only Crossing the river from Dongwu Pavilion, you can go directly to Chixian County. Judging from the current situation, this is the most convenient way. I remember that Chixian County also surrendered to Duke Cao, so it will take about two days for us to go this way."

"Then let's go to Dongwu Pavilion!"

"But the question is, if what Ah Fu just said is true, let's not talk about whether he will meet Zhang Boluan's men along the way of Dongwu Pavilion. Is there going to be a rebellion from the local nobles as Ah Fu said... If this happens, we will go to Dongwu Pavilion and die." Wei Yan looked at Dian Wei and said softly.

When Dian Wei heard this, he also frowned.

Xia Houlan couldn't help but said, "Maybe... Mr. Cao is just guessing? Maybe Zhang Boluan didn't station troops at Dongwu Pavilion?"

Wei Yan sneered and said, "You don't know Ah Fu,
He is different from ordinary children. His brother-in-law Deng Ji and Deng Jiecong once said to me before his death: Ah Fu is unparalleled.If he is not sure, he will never say it easily.But since he said it, nine times out of ten, what he said will happen.At this point, I believe him! "

The expression of 'you don't understand, stop talking' on her face made Xia Houlan choke, not knowing how to speak.

Xia Houlan still wanted to argue, so Dian Wei said: "I haven't been in touch with Ah Fu for a long time, but I can feel that he is different from ordinary children."

Dian Wei gently rubbed his temples, then suddenly raised his head and said, "I believe in Ah Fu."

Even Dian Wei said that, even if Xia Houlan had a full stomach for opinions, she could only keep her mouth shut.

Wei Yan said, "There is another way, and that is to go south."

"Oh?"

"We can go back to Duke Cao when we pass under the rule of Liu Biao.

But the current situation is that Zhang Boluan is likely to block the north-south arteries.He will not let his guard down until he re-aligns with Liu Biao.

Therefore, going directly south will not work..."

Xia Houlan was in a hurry, "I can't go south, I can't go north, should I go west?"

To the west of Wancheng, it was under the pure rule of Zhang Xiu.

Wei Yan thought for a while, "Going west is a good idea."

"how do I say this?"

Wei Yan took a sip of the soup and said solemnly: "Cao Gong and Zhang Boluan are currently concentrated along the coast of Yushui. In fact, if you go west, although it is Zhang Xiu's territory, it has not been affected by the war. Its defense must be relaxed a lot."

As he spoke, he picked up the short sword and quickly drew a crude map on the ground.

"Look, this is Wancheng, and this is Yushui. If you go north, you will find Dongwu Pavilion, and if you go south, you will find Jiyang... I suggest that we go west. It takes about a day to reach Tuanshui. Then We went south along the Tuan River, bypassing Rang County, which is Anzhong. When we arrived at Anzhong, it was under the rule of Liu Biao, and there would definitely be no defenses here. We crossed the Jishui from Anzhong, went east along the Bishui, and crossed Mount Que. It is Runan County. Runan County is under the rule of Cao Gong, and we will be safe when we arrive in Runan?"

Dian Wei couldn't help but feel his heart beat when he heard this.

"How long will it take to go this way?"

"If we ride horses, according to this route, it will take us about three to five days to get to Anzhong. From Anzhong to Queshan, it will take another three to five days. As for how long it will take to go from Queshan to Langling, I can't say for sure. Yes. I’ve only been to Mount Que before, not to Runan.”

"In other words, it will take at least ten days!"

As Dian Wei spoke, he revealed a pensive look.

Seeing that Dian Wei was hesitant, Wei Yan rolled his eyes, thinking about it.

"General Dian, let's talk outside."

Dian Wei agreed, stood up and turned to look at Cao Peng who was already asleep on the haystack.

"Xiahou, take care of Ah Fu."

While talking, he strode out with Wei Yan.

Standing in the empty stockade, Dian Wei asked, "Master Wen, if you have anything to say, just say it."

"What does General Dian think of Ah Fu?"

Dian Wei was startled, thought for a while and replied, "Ah Fu is very good."

"Ah Fu is a little young now, but in the future, he will be able to accomplish great things. Doesn't General Dian want to introduce such a person to Duke Cao?"

"Of course I want to, but he wants to go home!"

"General Dian, if we go to Anzhong, we will definitely pass through Jiyang. I will persuade Ah Fu in a while, and we will go together. When we arrive at Jiyang, we will take Ah Fu's parents away. Ah Fu is a dutiful son. You will definitely be willing to go to Duke Cao with us."

Dian Wei couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard this.

"That's a great idea."

Wei Yan said: "Ah Fu is young but mature. I heard from Deng Jiecong that he often praised Mr. Cao... It's a pity that Deng Jiecong... is also a talented person, and he is honest. I only did two or three helpers, but it broke my heart.

If it wasn't for pornography..."

Wei Yan couldn't help but gritted his teeth as he spoke.

Even Dian Wei couldn't help showing a regretful expression, "According to Wen Chang, this Deng Ji will be Mao Xiaoxian no matter how bad he is in the future."

Mao Xiaoxian, named Mao Jie, was from Pingqiu, Chenliu, and he was also Dianwei's fellow villager.

When he was young, he worked as a county official and was famous for his integrity and justice.When Cao Cao was the shepherd of Yanzhou, he recruited Mao Jie to work in the government.Mao Jie suggested to Cao Cao at that time: "Today the world is divided, the emperor moves to another place, and the people give up their careers."The country does not have a year's grain reserves, and the people have no idea of ​​living in peace.Such a situation cannot last for long... To achieve great things, you must have a long-term plan and establish a foundation.In wars, a righteous army will surely win, but maintaining a position depends on financial resources.Therefore, you should honor the Son of Heaven and command the local princes in his name.Only by developing agriculture and accumulating materials can we succeed. "

During the Three Kingdoms period, it was often said that the emperor was coerced to order the princes.

In fact, before and after Jian'an, many people of insight saw this.

Mao Jie was the first person in Cao Cao's camp who proposed to serve the emperor to order the princes, and it was precisely because of his suggestion that Cao Cao decided to farm.

Dian Wei and Mao Jie were acquainted, and now Deng Ji and Mao Jie were compared. If Deng Ji knew about it, he would definitely be terrified.

After pondering for a moment, Dian Wei made up his mind, "According to what Wen Zhang said, let's go with Ah Fu, pick up his parents when the time comes, and go to Xudu together."
