Chapter 361 Murderous Intent (please vote for recommendation on Monday)
The military tent was quiet and there was no sound.
Pang Tong turned over on the couch and fell asleep again.
Outside the tent, there were three sounds of bang bang bang, indicating that it was already the third watch. Cao Peng laid down in his clothes and walked out of the small tent quietly.
This is a small tent for five people, which can usually accommodate a group of sergeants.
However, due to Cao Peng's special status, Tian Yu gave him three small tents to use after setting off. Cao Peng and his party had a total of ten people and indeed had thirteen horses. So many people in the mission thought that,
Cao Peng is Tian Yu's confidant.
Therefore, it is not surprising that he monopolizes three small tents.
From the very beginning, the entire mission was divided into two factions. One was the envoy Zhou Liang, and there was no doubt that he represented the Han Emperor. His subordinates were mainly palace officials and Han Emperor's guards. The other was Tian Yu,
They belong to Cao Cao's lineage. They have sharp soldiers in their hands, most of them are sergeants who have gone through the Guandu Battle. Their strength is far superior to Zhou Liang...
However, Zhou Liang was the chief envoy and Tian Yu was the deputy envoy.
On the surface, the two of them get along very happily.
In private, they are very clear-cut and ignore each other.
Cao Peng and Pang Liang occupied a small tent, King Han De both occupied a small tent, and the remaining six Fei Qi occupied a small tent.
However, outside Cao Peng's tent, there are two flying beast guards standing there, so the place is very spacious.
"Master!"
"Shh...here, call me Shichang."
"Here!"
"Okay, let's go and have a rest. I'll walk alone."
The two flying beasts bowed and retreated. Cao Peng stood at the door of the military tent, looking up at the sky.
The night sky in Xiaoguan is high and refreshing. But it makes people feel a little lonely... The stars are bright and the Milky Way is rising in the sky, which seems to add a little life to the loneliness. Here, it is a big sky, but it seems a little deserted.
Not far away, the lights in the Chinese army's tent were brightly lit.
I guess Tian Yu hasn't rested yet... This guy is a bit similar to Lao Cao. He is the kind of person who never lets go of books. He likes to read the Spring and Autumn Period the most, and he also does a lot of research on "Warring States Policy". It is estimated that at this time, Tian Yu is still holding books and reading.
.
Cao Peng had no intention of disturbing Tian Yu, because the friendship between him and Tian Yu was not as deep as it seemed.
This man is very talented, very scheming and has good strategies.
Cao Peng knew very well that Tian Yu could not be attached to him, and it was rare to maintain a good relationship with him. He already had many allies, so there was no need to hook up with too many. Instead of thinking about finding allies, he might as well think about it.
, how to let people like Gan Ning Bu Zhi go further? Because these people are the foundation of Cao Peng.
It's April, and I guess it's a bit hot.
However, under Xiaoguan, the weather is still a bit refreshing and the wind is a bit cold...
This is why Cao Cao asked the envoy to travel in February. Spring in Mobei comes at least a month later than in the Central Plains. If you leave too early, it will be extremely cold after entering Mobei. If you are not in a hurry, why rush this time?
Woolen cloth?
Cao Peng walked around the military tent and found nothing unusual, so he returned to the tent.
The slightest bit of throbbing just now was kept in my mind. Now, although Cao Peng has not yet reached the state of washing his marrow like frost, he has begun to gain momentum, and his kung fu has reached a level that is almost super first-class. Super-class talents like Dian Wei and others may be
There's no way to compare, but compared to Xu Huang and Xiahou Dun, I'm afraid they're on the same level. What they lack is experience.
When you practice martial arts to a certain level, you will develop a spiritual sense.
When danger comes, you can detect it as soon as possible...sometimes, you can even predict the danger.
Cao Peng scratched his head, a little confused.
There was really no one in this army who could pose a threat to him. At least as far as he could see, the three army commanders of the mission were only top-notch. If there was a confrontation, Cao Peng was confident that he would be able to do so in twenty.
Recruit three people to deal with it.
Their skills are not even comparable to Han De and Wang Shuang.
As for the Forbidden Army...
Cao Peng didn't find any masters either.
Therefore, he really couldn't think of anyone who could pose a threat to him. However, it was easy to dodge open guns, but hard to guard against hidden arrows. It is better to be cautious than to be too cautious. Back in the military tent, he took out his armor bag
, a thin piece of armor was pulled out from the inside. This armor is made of tanned leather, the workmanship is very fine, and the texture is very light.
Cao Ji was once the commander of the arsenal, in charge of the armor and weapons of the capital.
Cao Ji found this leather armor from the arsenal, and then lined it with iron wire, making it an excellent inner armor. He put the inner armor on his body, then took out the hand crossbow from his bag and clasped it on his arm.
Go up. He took out twenty iron meteors and put them into his suede pocket. Cao Peng sat on the couch, feeling more or less at ease in his heart.
"Afu, why are you wearing a suit of armor in the middle of the night?"
Pang Tong woke up in a daze. When he opened his eyes, he saw Cao Peng sitting there in military uniform. He couldn't help but ask doubtfully.
Cao Peng said: "I don't know why, but I always feel a little uneasy in my heart, as if something is about to happen."
"whats the matter?"
Pang Tong sat up, put on his coat, walked to the tent door and took a look outside.
"What could happen?"
"have no idea."
Cao Peng replied with a wry smile, "If I had known what would happen, I would have thought of a countermeasure a long time ago. Why would I be sitting here like a fool?"
"You... are paranoid."
"perhaps!"
The two sat facing each other, and Pang Tong didn't know how to persuade him.
After a long time, when there was a lot of fighting, Cao Peng suddenly fell on the couch and said, "Go to sleep, we have to be on our way after dawn."
"You're not worried now?"
"When soldiers come, we will block it, and when water comes, soil fills it up."
While talking, Cao Peng lay down with his clothes on and pulled up the blanket.
Pang Tong yawned, looked at Cao Peng, and shook his head slightly. This Ah Fu is so weird sometimes, I really can't understand...

At Mao hour, Tian Yu ordered his troops and prepared to set off.
At the end of the day, a large group of chariots and horses drove out from Xiaoguan and embarked on their way to the north of Saibei. Cao Peng sat astride the horse and led Han De and others to march with the brigade. He was in the middle army, with Tian Yu
, looking relaxed.
In the distance is Zhou Liang's motorcade.
Zhou Liang is about thirty or forty years old, chubby and fleshy, with a smile on his face.
He did not ride a horse, but sat in the middle of the chariot. He looked solemnly at the young man and the white-faced and beardless old man in front of him.
"Liu Hou, do you really want to do this?"
After a night of adjustment, Liu Guang looked much calmer and returned to his former calm appearance.
He nodded, "My identity has been revealed. It is useless to hide it. It will only make me look petty. Instead of being sneaky like this, why not show my identity clearly and see what those people can do to me?"
"Since Liu Hou has decided, I will obey your orders.
But I don’t know when Liu Hou will decide to come forward?”
Liu Guang thought for a while and said softly: "Tonight, Fengyi Mountain."
In the spring of the first year of Jianning, Taiwei Duan Ying led an army of 100,000 men and fought against Xian Ling and others at Fengyi Mountain...
Reaching Fengyi Mountain is basically equivalent to leaving the area controlled by the Han Dynasty. Although nominally, Fengyi Mountain is under the jurisdiction of Anding County, in fact, it is already a mixture of Qiang and Hu, and the Han Dynasty has almost no control over this place.
is zero.
After passing Fengyi Mountain and going north along Qingshui, you can reach Dahe.
Then follow the river and go out of Shizui Mountain to Shuofang County. Here is the Hetao, where the Southern Huns are stationed. Zhou Liang nodded and said softly: "Then we will camp at Fengyi Mountain..."
Liu Guang and Leng Fei looked at each other and nodded.
"Zhongzhong Palace, I'll leave it to you."
After saying that, the two people left the car battle and quickly blended into the crowd.
Zhou Liang smiled slightly, then sighed and said to himself: "Fight, fight, what does it have to do with me anyway?"
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
++++++++
Originally, according to Tian Yu's plan, he would go directly to the north via Fengyi Mountain.
However, Zhou Liang strongly disagreed, thinking that he was not in a hurry, so he might as well stay one night at Fengyi Mountain and head north the next day.
He had a very good reason: "It's not that I don't want to hurry, but after leaving Xiaoguan, I have already entered the land of Qiang and Hu... Horse thieves are rampant in these areas, and banditry is constant. If you travel at night, you will lose money if you are attacked.
Disastrous. In this case, why not march during the day? We will start at dawn tomorrow, and we can reach Dahe in the evening. Then we can rest for one night, and we can cross the river at Fuping the next day, leave Shizuishan in the north, and enter the southern Xiongnu rule."
"But if you do this, I'm afraid it will delay time."
"General Tian, the Za family believes that arriving safely is more important than rushing on time.
Furthermore, after leaving Shizui Mountain, we are approaching Bingzhou. What should we do if the people of Bingzhou notice it and launch an attack?
It’s safer to travel during the day.”
Finally, Zhou Liang convinced Tian Yu.
So that night, after the mission arrived at Fengyi Mountain, they settled down.
Originally, Tian Yu was going to take a rest. But before he could take off his clothes and armor, Zhou Liang sent someone over, saying that they had important matters to discuss.
Immediately afterwards, the gathering drum sounded.
Tian Yu didn't dare to slack off and hurried to the big tent.
Cao Peng and others were setting up camp when they heard the drum sound of the gathering generals and couldn't help but frown.
This is so good, why are you beating the general drum?
Cao Peng was full of doubts and quickly gathered his troops to prepare for the attack.
But soon, an order came: all troops were to set up camp, there was no need to assemble.
"What's going on?" Cao Peng asked softly.
Pang Tongyi frowned and said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid something has changed."
"misfortune?"
"I have a feeling that you're going to be out in the light soon!"
"oh?"
Cao Peng wanted to ask again, but suddenly he heard someone calling outside the tent: "Is Mr. Cao here? Deputy Ambassador Tian has invited you, please come over immediately."
After joining the mission, Tian Yu almost ignored Cao Peng.
But suddenly, Tian Yu asked someone to find him, and they were discussing matters in the big tent?
He seemed to have a clear understanding in his heart. Cao Peng did not dare to hesitate and hurried to the Chinese army's tent, only to see Tian Yu sitting in the middle of the tent with a gloomy face.
"Deputy Envoy Tian, why do you call me humble?"
"Youxue, don't hide anymore... From now on, you will be the captain of Zheng Qiang, commanding the three guards of the army."
"ah?"
Tian Yu smiled bitterly and looked at Cao Peng, who looked confused, "Liu Guang, stand up!"
For some reason, Cao Peng was so excited that he shuddered.
"Linyi Hou, have you stood up?"
"Well, he just took His Majesty's imperial edict to succeed Zhou Liang as the envoy. Zhou Liang and I are both deputy envoys, and we follow the orders of the envoy... I thought that the Marquis of Linyi would step forward later, but I didn't expect him to come forward so early...
…From now on, we will all be restrained by the Marquis of Linyi. In this way, His Majesty’s backdoor plans will be revealed, and you don’t have to hide anymore.
Before setting off, my lord gave me a secret order to allow you to serve as Sikong's advisor and recruit Qiang captaincy, depending on the situation...
Youxue, if you take over the guard immediately, I estimate that the reason why Linyi Marquis stepped forward will definitely be detrimental to you."
In an instant, Cao Peng felt cold in his heart.
No wonder I felt uneasy, it turned out that Liu Guang was about to make a move!
