Lu Lan opened his eyes in a daze, only to feel a splitting headache and a dizzy feeling.
The cold winter sunshine shone on her face, making her unable to open her eyes.
"Aniang."
Lu Lan shouted softly, and Mrs. Yan turned around.
"Aniang, why are you dressed like this?" Lu Lan looked at Mrs. Yan who was dressed in military uniform and couldn't help but feel a little strange. She turned around and saw that Er Niang and Xiao Niang were also dressed in military uniforms, including Qi'er.
He also wears a helmet and is dressed like an ordinary soldier.
The wheels of the cart creaked and crushed the ground.
Lu Lan seemed to understand something in an instant...
"Where's Dad?"
Mrs. Yan felt an unreasonable pain in her heart, her eyes turned red, and tears rolled in her eyes.
"Aniang, what's going on? Where has Dad gone? Where are we? Aniang, tell me quickly!"
A series of questions made Mrs. Yan not sure how to answer.
After a moment, she whispered: "Lingqi, let's go to Yilu Township now... Haven't you always wanted to see the sea? Let's go see..."
"No, I want daddy. I don't want to go to Yilu Township. I want to go home."
Lu Lan's temperament is a bit coquettish, but that doesn't mean she is a fool.
She quickly understood the mystery behind everything she saw. Yes, she hated Lu Bu before... she hated Lu Bu for Qing Qi Zhan Duan, and she hated Lu Bu for insisting on marrying her to Yuan Shu's son. But when Lu Bu suddenly brought her with him,
During the camp, that kind of care and love made the hatred in Lu Lan's heart disappear long ago. She is Lu Bu's daughter, and she is destined to not be able to do as she pleases in some things.
Diao Chan hugged Lu Lan tightly in her arms, "Lingqi, stop making trouble!
We no longer have a home... Your father decided to break out for you to attract Cao Jun's attention. Some even risked their lives to rescue us from Xiapi. Listen to me, your father will be fine! His crotch
Get off your horse, draw a pole and halberd in your palm, no one in the world can defeat you. Let's go there first, and after a while, your father will come back. By then, our family can be together again."
"But……"
The tears in Lu Lan's eyes fell like broken pearls.
Breakout?
Easier said than done!
If Lu Lan didn't know the cruelty of war before, then the siege of Xiapi made her fully aware of the dangers involved.
At this time, Gao Shun stepped forward and said softly: "Madam, it's time to get off the car!"
"kindness?"
"In front is the sentry post of Cao Jun. After passing by, it is under the rule of Qu Yang.
Xiahou sent someone to inform me that everyone should get off the car and walk forward. After arriving in Quyang, someone would meet us... Xiahou said that Shulong is still alive and is waiting for us in Yilu Township. All matters have been arranged.
We need to get on our way as soon as possible."
Mrs. Yan said: "I know!"
She turned to look at the four women in the car and said softly: "Let's get off!"
Cao Peng and Chen Qun walked side by side, saying nothing along the way.
Chen Qun seemed a little silent, and after a while he said: "I will be responsible for burying Lu Bu's body. I will order someone to bury his coffin at the foot of Geyi Mountain, beside the Zushui Temple. If you want to find it, it will be easy...
…I will try to make some notes then.”
"Long article, thank you very much!"
"You are a bit reckless in doing this...Although you don't have much contact with Lu Bu, you have had contact after all.
If someone really wants to pursue it, it's not difficult. If Mr. Cao doesn't want to pursue it, that's fine. If he wants to pursue it... you'd better arrange for them to leave as soon as possible without being discovered... It's best to arrange for them to go overseas, so that
Come, Duke Cao will not be able to trace it."
"overseas?"
Cao Peng frowned.
"Xuzhou and Qingzhou are both under the rule of Duke Cao.
Jizhou is not safe either... There are many powerful people in other places, and you simply cannot take care of them. The best way is to go overseas..."
There was no one around, so Chen Qun took out a pair of white silk from his arms and stuffed it into Cao Peng's hands.
"A few years ago, I accidentally rescued a sea merchant. This man traveled overseas all year round, so he gave me a set of nautical charts. Northeast of Qushan, there is a peninsula. The island is occupied by three kingdoms, and it is extremely chaotic. It is a place of barbarians.
, it is said that Ru Mao drinks blood and lives. Life may be a little difficult, but it is better than the dangers here now. I know you have some power in your hands, send them to Mahan..."
"Mahan?"
"Exactly."
Chen Qun lowered his voice and said, "Lü Bu has a great general under his command, named Gao Shun, who is good at fighting.
This person is loyal to Lu Bu, but he has never appeared since Lu Bu broke out. I guess... you know! With him and hundreds of soldiers and horses, they are enough to run amok in Mahan. If they can stand firm over there
Heel, it is impossible for Mr. Cao to continue pursuing the case."
Ma Han...
Isn’t it one of the three Koreas?
According to legend, the original aboriginal people of Korea were descendants of the three Koreans.
Is it possible that Chen Qun is talking about the Korean Peninsula?
Cao Peng looked at Chen Qun in surprise and put away the white silk map.
Chen Qun was able to achieve this step, which can be said to be the most benevolent. He was willing to help himself even before he could gain a firm foothold in Cao's camp.
Cao Peng was extremely grateful.
At the same time, he also felt a little scared.
I originally thought that what I did was unnoticed. But unexpectedly, someone still saw the clues.
Chen Qun can see the flaw, so there is no guarantee that someone else will see the clues. At least from the previous conversation with Mr. Cao, Cao Peng felt Mr. Cao’s doubts. You know, Mr. Cao’s account is better than that of Chen
There are many powerful people in the group. Not to mention Guo Jia, Xun You, Xun Yu, Cheng Yu who has never been seen before, and Jia Xu, who is about to surrender to Cao Cao, which one is not a resourceful person?
Cao Peng cupped his hands and said, "Brother, thank you very much!"
Chen Qun just smiled, said nothing more to Cao Peng, and left in a hurry.
This is a very kind guy!
Cao Peng sighed secretly and went straight to the camp to meet Gan Ning.
Then, he found Cao Hong and said goodbye to Cao Hong.
Cao Hong knew Cao Peng's mission, so he did not persuade him to stay, but just asked him to be more careful.
"Afu, how many soldiers and horses do you have in your hands now?"
"There are currently three hundred people following me... there are two hundred left on Hailing.
However, I have almost used up all the troops in Haixi, so I am considering sending some people from Xiang Xiang and Qu Yang."
"Ha, that's very good.
Let me tell you one thing, your brother-in-law is very likely to be appointed as the captain of the farming area and take charge of the farming affairs in the Haixi area of Quyang. In this way, Haixi will become the largest farming area in the eastern part of the Huaihe River. It will inevitably make people jealous.
It is also a good thing to have some troops and horses in hand. Anyway, Haixi has a lot of food reserves this year. Let's do this. I will give you five hundred soldiers and then suggest Sikong to deliver all Quyang's troops and horses to Haixi... As for the Prime Minister... Ah
Fu, I have something else I want to ask you to do, please let me have strict laws under my control, is that okay?"
"You want Brother Wu to help?"
Cao Peng was startled and then became a little happy.
As Deng Fan gradually became more successful in martial arts, and after another year of training, his ability became much stronger than it was in Xudu.
If you can follow Cao Hong, your future prospects will be limitless.
Cao Hong said: "I have received news that Sikong wants to make me the prefect of Chen County."
"Ah...congratulations, uncle."
Chen Qun, located in Yuzhou, was originally named Chen Guo.
It is adjacent to Chenliu and Runan, and protects the flanks of Xudu.
Cao Hong smiled bitterly and said: "But the place in Chen County is quite complicated, and I don't have anyone available. I originally wanted to ask Zixiao to borrow someone, but Zixiao was going to Hanoi soon and was unable to help me... Haha, you know,
I am usually not very popular, and at the critical moment, there is no one available around me. Deng Yanfa is good at martial arts, and he is close to you and me. After the war in Xuzhou is settled, it is estimated that there will be no major war in Haixi. Let him continue
There is no use for you if you stay in Haixi, so you might as well follow me."
My brothers, of course, hope to have a good future.
Cao Zhen is now staying in the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and has a bright future, no need for Cao Peng to worry about it.
Dianman Xu Yi, the son of a general, has their father here, and they don't need Cao Peng's support; as for Zhu Zan and Cao Zun, one works under the command of Sili Xiaowei, and the other is Luoyang Beiwei. Speaking of which, Xiao Bayi
Among them, except Cao Peng, all three have great futures. If Deng Fan can really make achievements under Cao Hong, his future will be bright. As for Cao Peng and Wang Mai, they are slightly younger.
"I don't have any objection. My uncle is willing to promote fifth brother, but I'm happy before it's too late.
How about this, when I pass by Xiamen, I can talk to Fifth Brother and ask him to come and find you."
"So, very good!"
After saying goodbye to Cao Hong, it was already noon.
Xiapi has basically calmed down, and the large troops have withdrawn from Xiapi City one after another, while Cao Cao sat in the royal city and met with the famous Jin gentry in Xiapi.
Cao Peng and Gan Ning left Xiapi.
In the evening, he arrived at the Prime Minister's Office and met with Deng Fan and Pan Zhang.
Cao Peng told Deng Fan about Cao Hong's request.
Deng Fan hesitated, but after Cao Peng's persuasion, he finally nodded and agreed.
Pan Zhang rushed to Quyang overnight, and handed over the defense of the prime minister to the envoy sent by Cao Cao.
After dark, Cao Peng stayed at Xiaxiang Inn.
He spread out the map given to him by Chen Qun on his desk, studied it carefully, and finally determined that the Mahan mentioned by Chen Qun was a country on the Korean Peninsula. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Mahan was renamed Baidu. Ji, who was later eliminated by Silla, is the ancestor of later generations of Koreans. There is another country on the Korean peninsula, and that is Goguryeo. Many people regard Goguryeo as the ancestor of the Koreans, but it is actually another mistake. Goguryeo, They are an ancient ethnic group in Northeastern my country in ancient times. They are called "Bai people", "Hao people" or "Fa people" in ancient literature. Later, they merged with the descendants of Weiman and Korea to form the Goguryeo Kingdom.
Also known as Gao's Goguryeo.
Silla and Baekje are composed of descendants of the three Koreas, which are the ancestors of the Koreans.
Chen Qun's meaning is very clear: No matter where they are, the Lu family members are not safe...at least for now, they are not safe.
Then, the only way out is to go overseas.
The Three Koreas sound very powerful, but in fact they were vulnerable during the Three Kingdoms period.
Cao Peng analyzed the map carefully and found that if you start from Yuzhou Mountain (which is later Lianyungang, East-West Connected Island) and cross the Bohai Bay, you can land in Mahan in about three days. Several ports are marked on the map,
It also comes with a very detailed explanation.
if……
Cao Peng sat alone in the room and pondered for a long time.
After a while, he found Gan Ning and told him all his thoughts.
"Today's reminder from Chang Wen was like an enlightenment. I thought I was doing it secretly, but there are no walls under the sky that are impermeable...
Although Yuzhou Mountain is said to be secretive, it is under the rule of Duke Cao after all.
As long as Cao Gong is willing, he can send people out to sea from Qushan to inspect Yuzhou Mountain at any time. But Qushan is not under our rule and cannot be controlled at all. Therefore, the best way is, as the long article says, to send the ladies to Ma
If Han avoids it, Duke Cao will no longer be able to pursue it."
"Mahan?"
Gan Ning couldn't help but frown.
"But the generals in our hands cannot be more than Gao Shun Cao Xing, and the soldiers cannot be more than a hundred men..."
"This time I sent the ladies to Yilu Township, there were five hundred people. Most of these people were sent to serve as subordinates. They were Cao Shulong's tribe. So..."
"Return these people to Cao Xing?"
Gan Ning had a headache and said, "But if there are five hundred people missing all of a sudden, won't it be too eye-catching?"
"Let my brother-in-law recruit 500 people from the military camp to make up this number."
"It seems that this is the only way."
"Early tomorrow morning, I will go to Xu County to persuade Zhang Liao to surrender.
Xingba, you and Wen Gui went to Quyang together. After arriving in Quyang, you and Zishan immediately returned to Haixi to try to settle this matter.
In short, the news must not leak out, otherwise you and I will be in big trouble."
Gan Ning nodded to express his understanding.
Early the next morning, Cao Peng set off for Xu County with only a dozen people, while Gan Ning and Pan Zhang hurried back to Quyang.
Xu County is located downstream of Surabaya.
When Cao Peng arrived in Xu County, it was already the third day after Xiapi City was defeated.
Chen Deng also stopped attacking Xu County. After meeting Cao Peng, Chen Deng retreated ten miles and began to rest and regroup.
As for Cao Peng, he rode alone and arrived at the gate of Xu County.
"Please tell General Zhang Liao that his old friend Cao Peng is here to visit."
Cao Peng did not hold any weapons, but wore a black robe. He held his hands in front of the city and asked the sergeant on the city tower to report.
After a while, the Xu County city gate opened. Two lines of soldiers and horses stood on both sides of the city gate. I saw them, their clothes and armor were dirty, their hair was messy, but they all exuded a murderous aura. The swords and spears in their hands shone coldly in the sun.
.A cavalry general shouted sharply at the city gate: "Cao Peng, my general has invited you."
Show off your power?
Cao Peng couldn't help but laugh!
With a calm look on his face, he urged his horse to enter the city gate.
After his figure entered the rolling hole of the city gate, the city gate was immediately closed.
Under the guidance of the cavalry general, Cao Peng walked along the messy long street and arrived at the gate of Xu County County Government.
Along the way, there were only ruins and ruins, and homeless civilians were everywhere, crowded into hidden sheds. Their expressions were stiff and their eyes were dull.
Cao Cao laid siege to Xiapi for nearly twenty days, and the pressure on Xu County was no less than that on Xiapi.
Outside the county government office, Cao Peng jumped off his horse and stepped up the steps.
But he saw a large cauldron standing in the courtyard of the front yard. The cauldron was filled with oil, and firewood piled up under the cauldron. The flames were blazing, and the whole front yard was filled with the smell of boiling oil.
Zhang Liao was sitting in the hall, with a writing desk in front of him and a sharp sword quietly placed.
"Ah Fu, if you came here to persuade me to surrender, don't blame Zhang Liao for not talking about our past feelings."
As soon as Cao Pengcai entered the hall, Zhang Liao shouted loudly.
I saw him grabbing the sword and swinging it down. With a click, the corner of the bookcase was cut off by the sword, and the cut was smooth, which was shocking.
