Chapter 426 The first cry of the phoenix chick (1)

"Li Qi is here?"

Cao Peng leaned on the bed covered with white wolf skin cushions, and his fingers passed through the soft hair on Dabai's body comfortably.

"What do you think, sir?"

"not see!"

Li Ru answered decisively without any hesitation.

He had just come back from the west and was publicizing Cao Peng's past deeds. It must be said that this guy was indeed the number one schemer around Dong Zhuo back then. No wonder, Jia Xu didn't come to prominence until after the Sanfu Rebellion. Maybe in the overall situation

In terms of appreciation, Li Ru is not as good as Jia Xu; but in terms of detailed planning, he may not be inferior to Jia Wenhe.

A war of public opinion!

What this guy did is similar to the public opinion war in later generations.

He led a group of Hu slaves to spread all kinds of news on the grassland, some of which were true and some of which were false, making it difficult for people to tell.

Use the public's opinions to establish Cao Peng's image.

Although Cao Peng is very famous in the Central Plains, in Hexi...

Any material can be used, including Lu Bu, who has also become a chess piece to set off Cao Peng.

This Li Ru is indeed unpredictable. Cao Peng was secretly glad that he recruited Li Ru under his command. It can be seen that Li Ru is living quite comfortably in Hexi. He has begun to grow his hair and has adopted two orchids.

This is an excellent phenomenon.

Nowadays, the story of Cao Peng is spread in Hongze Muyuan and even in the whole Hexi.

In Cao Peng's view, the impact of this kind of public opinion is greater than that of a hundred thousand soldiers. However, this requires a process, and the method is too simple. There is no way, there are too few literate people in these days. Otherwise, Cao Peng would not

He would mind coming up with some other tricks. But even so, Cao Peng and Li Ru discussed many follow-up plans.

Dou Lan summoned the eighteen tribesmen to discuss dealing with Cao Peng. Of course Cao Peng knew about it.

However, he was not in a hurry.

Li Ru said to him: "In less than ten days, there will be changes."

And now, the variables are coming...

Of course he saw Xiliang Ma Teng's actions.

"Ma Shoucheng's heart is known to everyone on the road."

Cao Peng said with a smile: "He has only been peeking at the west of the river for a day or two. Now he takes this opportunity to have an attack. It is in line with his temperament."

Now, Li Qi came to visit.

On the surface it was a visit, but Cao Peng and Li Ru also knew its true intention.

But Li Ru believed that he should not meet Li Qi.

"However, Northwest Muyuan is facing 30,000 Qiang and Hus. If they fall out with Hongze, wouldn't it put Shiyuan in danger?"

Li Ru laughed and said: "I heard the young master say that Feng Chu is amazing, but I have never seen it before.

Brother Deng Wu and Shi Yuan have been operating in Muyuan in the northwest for two months now, which is longer than the time in Hongshui County. He still has 4,700 soldiers and horses under his command. If he can't even deal with the mere Qiang and Hu, how can he still do it?

It's better to let him go back to Jingzhou now."

"But……"

"Sir, can Feng Chu send someone to ask for help?"

"Never."

"Where's brother Deng Wu?"

"nor."

"With Fifth Brother's plan, how could he not know the interests of this northwest Muyuan? The fact that he didn't send anyone back to ask for help shows that he is already prepared and does not need to worry about it at all. This is to show the whole of Hexi the bravery of the Heavenly Army.

At this time, the young master can just rest assured, there will never be any problems. From a Confucian perspective, why don’t the young master leave Hongshui County temporarily?"

"leave temporarily?"

"The immigrants from the imperial court have passed through Fengyi Mountain and will arrive at Zhongwei soon.

The young master can bring someone to meet him, wouldn't it just save him from trouble? In my opinion, I don't want to pay attention to those guys in Hongze. After Li Qi comes, just find someone to receive him. He, Li Qi, will naturally understand the young master's determination.

"

Cao Peng's determination?

I'm not satisfied with Hongze's attitude!

But I will still help you defend the Northwest Muyuan in accordance with the covenant.

As for other matters, you can handle it yourself. If you want me to send troops, show your Hongze people's sincerity!

This is Cao Peng's determination.

He needed to take this opportunity to warn Hongze and Ma Teng...

A war is undoubtedly the best trigger point. Cao Peng went to welcome the immigrants, which showed his attitude of taking root in Hongze; at the same time, he also warned Dou Lan that I am well aware of the little tricks you are playing.

.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

So Cao Peng shook his sleeves and left.

The Hongshui camp was temporarily handed over to Hao Zhao, with Liang Kuan and Jiang Xu as assistants...

"General Cao is not in Hongshui?"

Li Qi was stunned, but soon understood the reason.

"In that case, let's go back."

"Grandpa, are you going back now? How should you explain to General Dou?"

Li Ding looked at Li Qi doubtfully, not quite understanding.

Li Qi smiled and said: "Now it is not how General Cao should explain to Dou Lan, but how I, a Hongze person, should explain to General Cao."

"My grandson doesn't understand."

Li Qi rubbed Li Ding's head and said with a smile: "In the future, I will go out with General Cao more and build up my relationship.

Look at that old guy Geng Qing. When he was gathering in Hongshui, he cursed General Cao and looked like he would never give up. But he left Geng Lin in the camp instead of Geng Jun. You

Do you see the mystery behind this?"

Li Ding tilted his head and thought for a long time, but couldn't come up with a clue.

"Geng Qing, this is a sign of goodwill to General Cao."

"ah?"

"You should know that Geng Qing has two sons who are completely different.

In the past, Geng Qing liked Geng Jun more and often ignored Geng Lin's existence. But now... Geng Lin is a boy who is well-educated and has always longed for the Central Plains. Among your generation, he may be the one who has the deepest impression of General Cao.

Geng Qing kept Geng Lin, which was equivalent to showing General Cao that he had no ill intentions towards General Cao.

Xiao Ding, you are grown up.

Think about things more carefully.

These old guys keep saying they want to avenge Shi Kui, but if they are really asked to send troops, who would dare to stand up?

In my opinion, it won’t take long for this Hongze to change!”

Hongze, is the sky going to change?

Li Ding scratched his head, a little confused.

At least, he didn't see the slightest sign of things changing. However, he noticed that Hongze seemed to be in a group, but in fact they had their own scheming. After all, he was young and didn't have that much scheming. As for the adults of each tribe,

Li Ding couldn't see the thoughts of those old guys at all. Many times, he looked at problems superficially.

In the past, he always believed that there was unity and harmony within Hongze.

But today, Li Qi lifted the veil that shrouded Hongze for him...

Can Cao Peng really change the current situation of Hongze?

He shook his head suddenly, cursing himself secretly: How can you think so wildly in this autumn of life and death in Hongze?

Along the way, Li Ding seemed very silent.

And Li Qi didn't try to enlighten him anymore, because he knew in his heart that this was an inevitable process in Li Ding's growth.

In this way, the grandfather and grandson returned to Hongshuiji and informed Dou Lan of the situation one by one.

Dou Lan didn't say anything, just expressed his hard work, and urged Li Qi to return to the western pasture and prepare to fight Ma Teng.
