Cao Thief

Chapter 777

The Wudang Flying Army is a military force formed by Zhuge Liang after he pacified Nanzhong in history. It is as famous as Liu Bei's Baiyan soldiers and is very brave.This army composed entirely of barbarians has extraordinary combat effectiveness.Its image is wearing iron armor, using bows and crossbows with poisonous arrows, equipped with Zamatin and regiment cards, and running around the mountains and forests like ghosts... In the later war with Cao Wei, he made great contributions.

Cao Peng was very impressed with Wudang Feijun!

However, in history, Liu Bei not only recruited the barbarians of Nanzhong, but also hired the barbarians of Wuling at that time when he was in Jingnan.Gan Ning died at the hands of the Wuling Man, and at that time the leader of the Wuling Man was Shamoke.

Liu Bei can hire Wuling Man, and Zhuge Liang can recruit Nanzhong Man, so why can't he form Wudang Flying Army?
Wudang Feijun means that there is no future.

Since Cao Peng decided to form a mountain corps, how can he abandon the name of nothing?

However, forming a Wudang flying army is not an easy task.

Various aspects of mediation are required, and special design is also required.Cao Peng hastily decided to form the Wudang Flying Army. It seemed easy, but in fact he still had to do a lot of follow-up work.That night, he, Pang Tong, Fazheng, Ma Su, Xiang Chong, Deng Ai, and Sun Shao discussed the details of the Wudang Flying Army in the study.

Forming an army rashly is no small matter!
As Cao Cao's power grew, his control over the army became tighter.

This matter must be reported to Cao Cao.But how to make Cao Cao pay more attention to this team?It is also a troublesome thing.At the beginning, Cao Peng suggested that Cao Cao form a navy. As a result, Cao Cao didn't really realize the importance of the navy until three years later, and made great efforts to build it, at the cost of a lot of money.

This is because Cao Cao has suffered from the losses of the navy, so he can make up his mind.

But what about mountain infantry?

Now that Cao Cao has started preparing sword and shield soldiers, how much energy will he spend on the construction of mountain soldiers?

Therefore, Cao Peng must have a reason to persuade Cao Cao.

Fazheng said: "Since ancient times, farming has made people lack determination, while fishing and hunting have made people aggressive... The reason why Wuling barbarians in Jingnan have always been stubborn is precisely because of the difference between the two.

Wuximan is better, but tribes like Feitouman are always a problem...

Now Jingnan is gradually restoring people's livelihood, and the people yearn for great rule.Therefore, large-scale wars are unlikely to happen in a short period of time.In this way, it is bound to make those brave and ruthless mountain barbarians useless, so they start to provoke and make trouble.At first, there won't be much problem.But after a long time, small conflicts will inevitably brew into huge conflicts, and in the end, it will turn into a conflict.

To rule Jingnan, first rule the barbarians...

If the barbarism is uncertain, peace in Jingnan will be difficult.

If the young master wants to build a Wudang flying army, it is best to start from this aspect to convince the king, so as to show that the young master has a high-level vision.In this way, the king will definitely provide convenience. "

Pang Tong also nodded repeatedly, "What Xiao Zhi said is very true.

It is not a good thing to treat the head for a headache, and treat the foot for a footache.If the young master is just forming a flying army, even if the king agrees, he may not pay too much attention to it.But if it is for Jingnan pacification, His Majesty will definitely agree. "

When doing something, you can't just consider the things in front of you.

You should stand higher and see farther in order to achieve the best results...

Cao Peng thought for a long time, and thought that what Pang Tongfa said was very true.

"Since this is the case, please both of you make a countermeasure as soon as possible, and I will report it to the king for support."

"Son..."

"Huh?" Cao Peng turned his head, "What's the matter with you?"

"Is it a bit hasty to let Zijun preside over it inappropriately?"

"how do I say this?"

Ma Di hesitated for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "I'm not saying that Zijun is not good, but that he is only twenty-nine years old, and he has just joined the job, and he has no merit.

Since the young master attaches so much importance to Wudao, he still needs to be cautious! "

Ma Di's words were out of good intentions.

Cao Peng attaches so much importance to Wudang Feijun, if he fails, Wang Ping may never recover.

In history, Wang Ping was indeed the first Wudang prisoner of the Wudang Flying Army.But that was already something he did in his [-]s or [-]s.Now that Wang Ping is only eighteen, he must have many difficulties to train the Wudang Flying Army.

Fazheng laughed!

"Youchang's kindness, I thank you all.

The son ordered Zijun to go there because he knew how to practice and train, not because he wanted him to be in command.Besides, Zijun is brave and capable of enduring hardships.Although he was not very literate, he was very thoughtful. The reason why he was allowed to go was because of this.Zijun is different from Youchang. His biggest advantage is that he is cautious, able to take the lead, and has strict requirements.Only in this way can Wudang be an elite soldier. "

Ma Su nodded and said no more.

Now that Cao Peng and the others have made a decision, Wang Ping must be the right one.

"It's best to set up a mansion in Jingnan!"

"Ok?"

"Specially responsible for mediating the relationship with the Wuling barbarians, and assisting in the governance of the Wuling barbarians.

Wudang, it's better to be under the jurisdiction of this mansion, and this mansion should be under the king's... In this way, we can get twice the result with half the effort. "

It stands to reason that the governance of the Wuling barbarians is in the hands of Dahong Luqing.

But since Wuximan was also involved in the matter of a Wudang flying army, it was not Dahonglu who could intervene.

"Then what is the name of this mansion?"

"Daxing...you can set up a Daxing mansion to govern the governor, and compare two thousand stones.

It is nominally under the jurisdiction of Dahong Luqing, but in fact it is in charge of the king.In terms of etiquette, no one can say otherwise, but as far as the king is concerned, one can rule Jingnan, and two can obtain a rich source of troops. "

Governor of the Daxing Mansion?
Cao Peng couldn't remember whether such an official position had appeared in history.

But for Cao Cao, this shouldn't be a big deal.After all, since Cao Cao took control of the government, he has established many new positions.Making the work more detailed and specific also makes it more efficient.

"According to what Shiyuan Xiaozhi said, you should prepare immediately and make a memorial, and I will send it to the capital tomorrow."

"Here!"

The so-called teacher is famous.

First correct the name of Wudang Flying Army, and then make detailed arrangements.

Ma Di, Xiang Chong, and Deng Ai are all generals who lead the army, and although Sun Shao lives in seclusion, he is familiar with the habits of Jiangdong soldiers and horses.

Cao Peng learned from everyone's strengths and discussed the specific matters of this Wudang flying army.

First of all, it is necessary to determine the armor and equipment of Wudang Flying Army.

In history, there is no flying army wearing iron armor. Although the defense power is enhanced, to some extent, it increases the load and reduces the flexibility.However, if it is mainly leather armor, it will seem a bit thin.

In the end, Cao Peng chose to inlay iron pieces under the leather armor. On the one hand, it can reduce the weight, and on the other hand, it can also enhance the defense ability.The weapons are still mainly bows and poisonous arrows that Wulingman is most familiar with.Duke Cao's Liannu, equipped with steel arrows.The poison can be handled by the Wuling barbarians, or Hua Tuo can try to prepare it.

But the poisonous crossbow arrows are all long-range weapons.

It is definitely not suitable to use a sword in the mountains, and compared to Wuling Man, that thing is too extravagant.

"Teacher, I remember seeing some Shanyue weapons at Uncle He Qi's side."

"Oh?"

"Shanyue people like to use a weapon called iron scorpion, which is equipped with a small shield for self-defense. It is extremely powerful. The Shanyue people call it a rower, and it is very powerful in close combat. Moreover, this iron scorpion and small shield are convenient and easy to build. Uncle He Qi said that during the Shanyin Rebellion, Shanyue stood up to him and caused him a lot of trouble... If he hadn't used tricks later, he might not have been able to win."

He Qi did not appear in the novel.

But in the official history, this He Qi He Gongmiao is a general in Jiangdong, and even a wise general...

It can be said that He Qi had more than half of the credit for Sun Ce's early conquest of Kuaiji.Even in comparison, his contribution is greater than that of Zhou Yu.However, Zhou Yu is good at water warfare, and He Qi is good at mountain warfare. They are different in nature, and there is no conflict between the two.After Sun Ce's death, Sun Quan deliberately suppressed He Qi, but he was worried that behind He Qi, the huge power of Kuaiji gentry could only compromise with He Qi in the end.

However, it was also because of this reason that after Sun Quan came to power, He Qi rarely had the opportunity to lead the army.

He has always been the prefect of Kuaiji, sitting in Shanyin, deterring Shanyue.

According to Lu Xun's private correspondence with Cao Peng: "There are two major difficulties in conquering Jiangdong.

One is the water army, guarding the natural moat of the great river; the other is He Qi, who is best at land warfare, although friends may not be able to compete with him. "

He Qi is a famous general that Sun Quan buried.

Throughout his life, he has been governing the local area and attacking Shanyue.

Although he is talented, but because of his loyalty to Sun Ce, he is even inferior to Zhou Yu.In any case, Zhou Yu is the commander of the navy, but He Qi has always stayed in Kuaiji and never fought...

Of course Cao Peng knew how powerful He Qi was, but he didn't have much contact with each other.

Frowning tightly, he pondered for a moment and asked, "Bowen, can you draw the shape of that row of bars?"

"of course can!"

Ma Su at the side immediately spread out the paper.

Deng Ai took out a charcoal pencil and handed it to Sun Shao.

Sun Shao thought for a while, and drew the shape of the row on the paper.To put it bluntly, the iron rod is a weapon similar to a short spear.However, it is shorter than a short spear, even less than two feet and five inches.The blade is one foot long, flat, unsealed on both sides, and raised in the middle... a bit like a three-pointed two-edged knife, but thinner and narrower.

Platoon shields are one-third smaller than ordinary group cards, but they are more convenient to hold.

Wuling barbarians are generally on the low side.If the group of cards is too large, it will become a burden.This kind of Shanyue regiment brand is obviously more suitable.

After Cao Peng had a general understanding of the shape of Pai Lu, he sent for Zhu Dao.

Zhu Dao, who is now a member of the General's Mansion, is in charge of the Dark Warrior together with Wang Shuang.

"You immediately take this map and rush to Xingyang.

Ask the prefect Wang Rong to process it on your behalf to make the weapons on the blueprint.Afterwards, I will give you 30 days to work out a set of tricks for using thimbles with Boss Shi, which is convenient for use in the mountains and forests.

It doesn't have to be too complicated, it's simple and clear, and it's enough to give full play to the power of this row as much as possible. "

As a disciple of Wang Yue, the master of swordsmanship in the last generation of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Shi A's background in martial arts is superb, and needless to say.Although he has a lame leg and a disabled hand, he has created a left-handed sword based on his background over the years and has become even more powerful.In the confrontation with Luo Yang's several swordsmen last year, almost none of them could resist his three moves, and regained his previous reputation.

However, after Shi A recovered, he still stayed in Xingyang, living a hermit life like a wild crane.

Cao Peng gave Shi A the Zhuangzi that Cai Yan had owned back then.

Shi A is also used to the wind and rain, and really has no intention of returning to the old circle.Help Cao Peng to train the dark warriors, or worship the Buddha in Donglin Temple, or go boating in Donglin Lake on weekdays, happy and happy.

Zhu Dao immediately took orders and rushed to Xingyang overnight.

As for Cao Peng, he continued to study the details of the Wudang Flying Army, and before he knew it, it was dawn...

After sending Shamoke and Wang Ping away, Cao Peng took the Nanjing strategy written by Pang Tong and Fazheng overnight and reported it to Cao Cao.

As for Cao Cao's reaction?
But it's not Cao Peng, you can guess it.

A few days later, Cao Zhang led Qin Lang to visit him.

"Teacher, you did a good job!"

Seeing Cao Peng, Cao Zhang smiled wryly and shook his head.

Qin Lang stood aside, looking at Cao Peng curiously.

He had also heard long ago that there was such a clan brother who was known as the most outstanding pillar of the Cao clan.

It's a pity that Qin Lang grew up in the palace and had no chance to meet Cao Peng.

He did know that Cao Peng had been the teacher of Cao Zhang and Cao Chong, and had turned against Cao Zhi, almost beating Cao Zhi.He acted daringly, broke into the Fuguo General's Mansion, hacked Fu Wan, killed Wei Duan... and even earned the name of the now prominent "King of Cao Yan".But before that, he also had different titles such as 'filial son', 'gentleman' and 'golden hand'.It is also known as the "Three Articles of Cao" by scholars.

Even the enlightenment books "Eight Hundred Characters", "San Zi Jing" and "Disciples Regulations" that Qin Lang read when he was a child were written by Cao Peng.

When he was older, Qin Lang learned "Humble Room Inscription" and "Ai Lian Shuo".

Even the teacher who taught me should give a compliment, Mr. Cao is a genius in this world...

Later, Qin Lang read Cao Peng's "36 Tactics". It is said that this "36 Strategies" and Cao Cao's "Meng De New Book" were rated by Cao Cao as compulsory courses for the second and third generations of Cao's children.

In the Cao clan, "Meng De Xin Shu" is called "Book" and "36 Strategies" is called "Policy".

"Book" is the basis, and "policy" is the application!
It is also one of the family traditions that the Cao clan must inherit in the future.

Cao Peng, for the children of the Cao family, there are too many legends.

When he was the same age as Qin Lang, he broke out of the Three Treasures of the Horse, and went to Haixi with the current Bingzhou Mu Dengji, and laid down the current pattern of Daxi, which enabled the development of Lianghuai.

Qin Lang was curious about Cao Peng, but also admired him.

Qin Lang was also extremely excited when he heard that he would work under Cao Peng's sect!
Cao Peng laughed and said, "Ziwen, how did I hurt you?"

"Teacher, your book "Shang Wei Wang Zhi Jing Nan Ce" has been approved by the father.

Today, my father called me over. Apart from testing my recent studies, he also gave me a very important task.

My father has already decided that I will quit my position as General Zhenbei and become General Zhennan, a general with five senses, and the governor of the Daxing Mansion. "

"what?"

Cao Peng was surprised when he heard this, but was immediately ecstatic.

He didn't expect that Cao Cao would make a decision so quickly and make arrangements...

Now that the governor of the Daxingfu was established, it means that he agreed with his own proposition.

Originally, Cao Peng was still worried about the candidate for the governor of the Daxing Mansion.

After all, if someone else is ignorant, it might be self-defeating.But it is appropriate to appoint Cao Zhang.

Cao Zhang had the experience of dealing with Qiang Di in his early years!

After being stationed in the north, they successively contacted Karasuma, Xianbei, Xiongnu, Jiehu and other alien races.He is tough, but he also knows Huairou, and he is experienced in dealing with interracial relations.

Cao Zhang is the person who knows Cao Peng's mind best and is also a staunch supporter.

More importantly, Cao Zhang is Cao Cao's son and eldest son, one of the most powerful contenders for the future heir.By having him as the governor of the Daxing Mansion, on the one hand, it can show that Cao Cao attaches great importance to Wuling Man, and on the other hand, he can command Jingnan.Deng Fan, Pan Zhang, Wei Yan... even including Xia Houyuan, will try their best to cooperate with Cao Zhang's actions, let alone make things difficult for Cao Zhang.

Just by looking at this candidate, it can be seen that Cao Cao attaches great importance to "The Southern Strategies for Governing Jing Jing".

There is a feeling of relief!

Cao Peng let out a sigh of relief, "If Ziwen is in charge, I can rest assured."

"The teacher is relieved, but the students have no idea about it.

What is the purpose of the governor of the Great Bank?Also, what attitude should we take towards the Wuling Man?

My father asked me to ask the teacher for advice, and it happened that Yuan Ming was coming over, so the student took the liberty to come to the door. "

When Cao Peng heard this, he immediately laughed...

"You yellow beard, are you here to show off to me?"

Qin Lang heard it clearly and was startled.

Among the sons of the Cao family, Cao Zhang has the most violent temper.

It is said that he is a person who is not afraid of anything, no matter who it is, as long as he is angered, he will dare to attack.Even Cao Cao had nothing to do with Cao Zhang, and said in private: "If Ziwen can suppress his temper, Zihuan will be better than him."

In other words, if Cao Zhang can control his temper, even Cao Pi is not as good.

Cao Peng dared to call Cao Zhang by his nickname, just in case...

But what Qin Lang didn't expect was that Cao Zhang didn't get angry, instead he kept laughing.

He seemed very proud of Cao Peng's scolding, which surprised Qin Lang a lot.

I remember yesterday, my mother took my hand and told me: "Tomorrow I will go to work with Marquis Wuxiang. You should be more obedient. Marquis Wuxiang is the only one who can suppress the prince. In the future, if you want to be respected by the prince, first of all We have to pass through the Marquis of Wuxiang."

Qin Lang didn't believe it, but now it seems that it is so.

Cao Peng stood up, took out a booklet from the bookshelf, and handed it to Cao Zhang.

"It's been two days, and I've ordered someone to set up some regulations, you can use them as a reference.

I have ordered Sha Moke and Wang Ping to go to Wuling to start recruiting and training the new army.I have written all the things that the new army should pay attention to.However, it is only a framework, and Ziwen needs to adapt to specific matters.

You have the assistance of Mr. Ziyuan, so I don't need to worry about the general direction.

As long as you handle it carefully, you can quickly open up the situation... Also, I have already worked in the Heyi Workshop to forge the first batch of weapons and armor.It is estimated that it will take three months to complete. If you can't wait, you can make it to the Renming Neifang workshop... As for the drawing, I have also drawn it. It is in the booklet, you can refer to it. "

Cao Zhang suddenly laughed!

"I knew that the teacher would not let me go to the post in a daze..."

Cao Peng sat down and sighed.

"Why is the teacher sighing?"

"You have something to do, but I don't know how the king will arrange me."

Yes, it has been two months since I returned to Yecheng in the blink of an eye!

In the past two months, it was better at first, but after a long time, I couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.Cao Peng is used to that kind of tense life, and now he has nothing to do in Yecheng, and he always feels uncomfortable.But there has been no news from Cao Cao.There is still no clue as to how to arrange it...

This also made Cao Peng very troubled.

Cao Zhang glanced at Qin Lang, with a mysterious smile on his face.

"Teacher, don't worry, hurry up!"

"Oh? Do you have any news?"

"Ok!"

Cao Peng hesitated for a moment, finally sighed, stood up and walked to the door of the study, beckoning Jiang Wei over.

"Go to your godmother and ask her to fetch the vermilion sword from the Sword Pavilion of the Divine Weapon."

Jiang Wei quickly agreed and left in a hurry.

Then Cao Peng pointed at Cao Zhang, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Ziwen, you must have gotten too close to Uncle Zilian recently, and you failed to learn from him... The red sword is a sword that my father forged five years ago. , although it is not as good as the sword I dedicated to the lord, it is not as good as the Yitian sword.

Okay, now tell me, what's the arrangement? "

Cao Zhang suddenly showed a satisfied smile, but Qin Lang was dumbfounded.

It turns out, can this be the case?

In his impression, Cao Zhang is an unsmiling and extremely upright person.

did not expect……

But this is the case, and it also shows the indescribable feelings between Cao Peng and Cao Zhang.

I'm afraid Cao Zhang wouldn't do the same if he changed someone.

"Zhuo County!"

"what?"

Cao Peng couldn't help wondering: "Should I go to Zhuojun?"

Cao Zhang nodded, indicating that he was correct.

"What am I going to Zhuojun for?"

"This... After two days, the father will explain it himself.

But don't worry, teacher, it's a big deal... this matter was suggested by Master Guo, and my father has thought about it for a long time and has been making arrangements.The specific situation, Father Wang will naturally tell you...

Anyway, it's a good thing! "

Youzhou Mu?
Not likely!
There is already a Bingzhou shepherd in my family, if there is another Youzhou shepherd, I am afraid that the ministers in the court will not agree.

There is no reason why a family has two state herdsmen!
It's not Youzhou Mu, what does it mean for me to go to Zhuojun?
Zhang Liao was the governor of Youzhou, commanding troops and horses.I ran to Youzhou again, could it be possible to fight for power with Zhang Liao?
Cao Peng couldn't figure it out, and at the same time he was secretly annoyed that Guo Jia took money from others, but he didn't solve the disaster with others.

I am your daughter's godfather, but you didn't even disclose the idea you gave Lao Cao, and you asked me to take care of your son... Wait a minute, Guo Jia asked Guo Yi to come here, is it because of this matter?

After Cao Zhang left, Cao Peng was puzzled.

"My lord, why worry about this?
If Guo Jia didn't say anything, it must be the king's order.And the king's move naturally has his deep meaning... However, has the young master discovered that the prince Zhang is far ahead now, and he may not become the heir of the king in the future. "

"how do I say this?"

"Make Zhang Shizi the general of Zhennan, the general of the five senses, and the governor of the Daxing Mansion.

Your Majesty is building momentum for Prince Zhang, and it seems likely that Prince Zhang will be the heir in the future. "

Build momentum?

Cultivate strength?

Cao Peng suddenly woke up.

Cao Cao's ordering Cao Zhang to go out of the town of Jingnan is by no means as simple as it seems on the surface.

Perhaps, Cao Zhang will be the commander of the conquest of Jiangdong in the future... He once fought in the north, and now he is stationed in Jingnan.There are also his footprints in the northwest. It can be said that Cao Zhang's prestige in the army has been deeply rooted.If it wasn't for cultivating Cao Zhang, why did Cao Cao spend so much time on it?Could it be that he has really made up his mind to support Cao Zhang?Only in this way can it be explained clearly.

Cao Peng frowned slightly, but immediately showed a bright smile...
