After arriving at Shentuze, Liu Guang had been in a unhappy mood.
Hu Chuquan's attitude seemed a bit ambiguous. After several contacts, he was still unwilling to give Liu Guang a definite answer. This was also the case with King Youxian Qubei. On several occasions, he even had an unhappy relationship with Liu Guang.
scattered.
Although Liu Guang was mentally prepared and had frequent contact with Zuo Xian Wang Liu Bao in private, the feeling of being rejected made people feel a little uncomfortable after all. Especially when Huchuquan and Qubei had vowed to
Will be loyal to the Han Emperor... Liu Guang was full of confidence when he went to Saibei this time, but he never imagined that it would be such a result.
Sitting in the military tent, Liu Guang was in a very depressed mood.
After spending several years in Chang'an and accompanying the Han Emperor through countless turmoils, Liu Guang's mind had already matured and he was not the kind of young man who could not stand setbacks. However, faced with such a situation, Liu Guang still could not suppress the anger in his heart.
"Marquis Linyi, why are you sighing?"
Just when Liu Guang let out a long breath, someone walked in from outside the tent.
"Leng Gong?"
Liu Guang couldn't help but exclaimed, and quickly stood up and came forward to greet him.
Since Leng Fei was injured and was recovering from his injuries in hiding, Liu Guang rarely had contact with Leng Fei.
Looking at it now, Leng Fei's face is still a little pale and a bit haggard... Liu Guang stepped forward and was extremely pleasantly surprised.
"Leng Gong, are you feeling well?"
Leng Fei smiled and said, "It's just a flesh wound. I have recovered a lot in the past few days."
I heard that the Marquis of Linyi was in a bad mood recently, so he came to visit. What? Could it be that the negotiations with the Xiongnu were not going well?"
Liu Guang sighed softly, "Leng Gong, it's hard to describe in one word."
He walked outside the military tent and saw that there was no suspicious person outside the tent, so he lowered the curtain and waved his hand for Leng Fei to sit aside.
He told Leng Fei exactly what happened in the past few days.
Liu Guanglin came and cursed fiercely: "I have known for a long time that Huchuquan is just a wolf's ambition... When the Southern Xiongnu was beaten by Tanshihuai and had nowhere to go, it was my Han Dynasty who took them in and gave Shuofang to the Southern Xiongnu to recuperate.
Now, the imperial court needs their help, but they are refusing to do so and giving various reasons, which are actually just excuses."
Leng Fei looked at Liu Guang with concerned eyes and sighed softly after a long time.
The Marquis of Linyi is indeed the pillar of the Han Dynasty. In terms of intelligence and strategy, he is far superior to most of the Han clan members. If he had been born twenty years earlier, he might be able to rule alone now, and his achievements would not be inferior to those of Liu Biao, Liu Zhang and others...
However, sometimes he still seems to be unable to keep his composure. Like now, in fact, he should have been prepared long before he went on the mission.
"The Marquis of Linyi must not be angry. Hu people are cold-natured and unfaithful. This is as expected.
Nowadays, the situation in the DPRK is unstable, the DPRK is weak, and His Majesty has an empty reputation, but he has to be oppressed by the old thieves... Huchuquan's reaction is nothing. The Marquis of Linyi has the quick wit to change his strategy temporarily, which is enough to make His Majesty
Glad.
I just didn't expect that Fujun's baby could be so forbearing.
If we can form an alliance with Liu Bao this time, Fu Jun should be the first to take the lead... The Marquis of Linyi should be happy that another capable person in our Han Dynasty has appeared. After this matter is over, the Marquis of Linyi can take Fu Jun back,
I believe His Majesty will be very happy."
Liu Guang heard this and smiled bitterly in his heart.
He smiled bitterly that the decline of the Han Dynasty had reached such an extent.
It is undeniable that Fu Jun has grown a lot in the past few years, and he is completely the same as when he was in Xudu. But that's all... he may still be a good player if he does small things and engages in some unflattering conspiracies, but if
Speaking of pillars... If Fu Jun is a pillar, then Cao Cao's ministers and staff are definitely the pillars of heaven.
It's not on the same level at all...
But such a figure was considered a great figure to the Han Emperor.
Thinking of this, Liu Guang couldn't help but feel confused. For a moment, he even felt a little discouraged...
Because he felt that he could not see the future of the Han Dynasty!
"Marquis of Linyi, I came here this time to ask about Cao Peng's movements."
"Cao Peng?"
Liu Guang was startled, then thought for a while and said: "Cao Peng has not been doing much recently. It seems that his body has not recovered yet and he has been recovering from his injuries. Therefore, Tian Shaolai is mostly responsible for guarding the mission, while Cao Peng himself is reclusive."
When Leng Fei heard this, he couldn't help but frown.
"Remaining in seclusion?" He thought for a while, as if saying to himself: "That is indeed troublesome!"
"How can Leng Gong say this?"
"I've been keeping an eye on him, worried that Cao Peng's recovery might cause problems for the Marquis of Linyi.
The old slave has made up his mind to keep Cao Peng in the north of the Great Wall. But he lives in seclusion, so it is not easy to take action."
Liu Guang couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this.
He knew that he seemed to have ignored Cao Peng's existence recently.
Now when Leng Fei mentioned it, Liu Guang felt the same way. The power in Cao Cao's hands was too great, and Cao Peng had already gained such a great reputation at a young age. When he truly grew up, he would definitely become a sharp steel knife in Cao Cao's hands.
At that time, wouldn't Cao Cao be even more powerful?
Leng Fei is right, Cao Peng must be kept in Saibei! He must not be allowed to grow and develop...
"Leng Gong, how should we act?"
Leng Fei couldn't help but smile bitterly, "If I knew what to do, why bother bothering Marquis Linyi?
Three years later, Cao Peng's arrival was unbelievable. Before the Linhe assassination, I had tried to think highly of this person, but it was unimaginable... There were many good men around him, so I came here this time and only brought two of them. If I can't
If he stays in Saibei, it will be more difficult to let him return to Xudu. But if you want to kill him, you must leave him alone."
Liu Guang was silent!
He understood the meaning of Leng Fei's words very clearly.
Cao Peng's skills have already given Leng Fei a headache.
In a one-on-one assassination, Leng Fei may still be sure...but if there are followers following him, especially those who are more tyrannical, Leng Fei may not be able to succeed. However, among the followers around Cao Peng, there are many powerful characters.
.
Xiahou Lan and Hande are not easy-going people, and they have the courage to be unstoppable by thousands of people.
Fortunately, Xia Houlan is not here now, leaving only Han De. But even so, Leng Fei still feels that it is quite difficult.
Cao Peng!
Liu Guang closed his eyes, and scenes flashed through his mind.
"Marquis Linyi, how about I exchange the knife in my hand for Xu Yi's black dragon?"
In Xudu Dog Fighting Hall, Cao Peng and Liu Guang met for the first time.
"Marquis of Linyi, please take care of yourself... It's not that I don't want to have a drink with you, but I do have something going on at home, so please forgive me."
"Marquis Linyi, I accept your gift!"
"..."
Looking back carefully, the contact between Liu Guang and Cao Peng was not too much.
And most of the time, it was Liu Guang who took the initiative to contact Cao Peng. But no matter what, Liu Guang did have a good impression of Cao Peng.
Above the river, Cao Peng looked pale and made a throat-cutting gesture towards Liu Guang!
Liu Guang suddenly opened his eyes, "Leng Gong, I will try my best to create opportunities for you in this matter... However, I must kill you with one strike."
Leng Fei nodded, revealing a murderous intention.

Cao Pengxing left the military tent and punched in the open space outside the tent. He felt particularly energetic.
He was about to go back to the tent to read when he suddenly heard a commotion and noise outside the small camp. Cao Peng couldn't help but be a little curious, so he led Wang Shuang and Han Dexing out of the small tent. He saw a schoolmaster in an open space outside the small camp.
The lieutenant was fighting with a Huns. The two of them knew at a glance that they were fighting real fire. Although the Huns were not tall, they held a large dragon-bird ring in their hands, which was extremely fierce. The dragon-bird ring weighed about thirty years.
He was very powerful and heavy, and his killing method was exquisite. But the Han military captain fought with an iron armour, and was killed by the Huns. His armor was crooked, and he was in a miserable state.
"what happened?"
"Go back to Captain Cao, the Huns are here to provoke!"
"Nonsense, I know... I mean, why are they provoking?"
"This..." an informed guard said softly: "What the captain doesn't know is that this Huns is a member of Liu Bao, the Xian King of Zuo. Yesterday, our people were drinking in the Huns' market, and we didn't want a few Huns to come up and provoke them.
, and also wounded our people. Captain Gou was also there at the time. In a rage, he led a fight with the Huns and killed two of them... Originally, this was not a big deal, and it was not something to think about the Huns.
Today, people came to the door to ask Captain Gou to die. It happened that Deputy Envoy Tian was invited to go out, and the Marquis of Linyi and Deputy Envoy Zhou were not there either, so Captain Gou..."
The soldier said half of his words, but Cao Peng basically understood the whole story.
He couldn't help but frown and looked attentively.
But in the battlefield, the Huns' sword skills were getting faster and stronger, and their power was getting stronger and stronger. Captain Gou was also a good swordsman, but compared with the Huns, he still seemed inadequate. In Cao Peng's eyes, Gou was a good swordsman.
Colonel Gou is only a good second-rate general, but this Huns has obviously reached the level of a first-rate general. In ten more rounds at most, Captain Gou will be defeated... After Cao Peng took a look, he suddenly said sharply:
"Han De, go and replace Captain Gou."
This is the residence of the Han mission. Not only was the Huns knocking on the door, but Gou Xiaowei's defeat would undoubtedly bring shame to the mission.
Although Cao Peng didn't know why Liu Guang and others didn't come forward to stop him, he couldn't just watch his side lose face. Without saying anything, Han De immediately ordered someone to bring the horse over, holding a disc and a big ax, and turned over and sat on the horse.
…
At this time, Lieutenant Gou was in danger.
The Huns who came to provoke them burst into laughter.
When the two horses crossed each other, the Huns suddenly slashed with their backhand. The dragon bird ring made a roar and slashed at the back of Captain Gou's head. Lieutenant Gou was killed by the Huns and his arms were sore. Although he was aware of the danger, he could not
But his body was a little slow and he couldn't dodge. It was too late, but soon, a cold light suddenly flew out, and with a clang, it hit the spine of the Huns' sword. The Huns only felt their arms shake.
, the sword in his hand almost flew out of his hand.
The Huns were so frightened that they quickly took back their swords and turned their horses' heads to look.
A naked iron meteor shone in the sun. When the Huns saw it, they cursed angrily: "The Han people can only hurt people with hidden arrows?"
"If I want to kill you, how can I let you sit on the horse?"
Cao Peng stepped forward, and the guards shouted to make way for a passage.
"How can you, an uncivilized fellow, comment on the abilities of the Han family?"
The Huns were angry and shouted: "Who are you?"
"You are not qualified to know who I am... If you want to ask me my name, you must first defeat my retinue." Cao Peng said coldly: "Han De, if within ten moves, this person is still sitting on the horse
, just raise your head and come to see me."
One sentence caused the onlookers to burst into an uproar...
The Huns laughed at Cao Peng's arrogant tone, while the Han guards all cheered.
The guards knew Cao Peng's ability. How could a man who could kill Yan Liang be compared to a Hugou? Although most of these guards had never seen Cao Peng kill Yan Liang, Cao Peng fought with the assassin on the river.
, they all saw it in their eyes. Since Captain Cao stood up, the Hugou would definitely not get any advantage... As soon as Captain Cao appeared on the stage, he made the Huns angry with just a few words. This skill can be learned by ordinary people.
Not coming!
Han De rushed forward and replaced Captain Gou.
When the Huns saw Han De coming up, their hearts trembled for no apparent reason.
He looked at Han De and suddenly asked sharply: "I am the young commander under King Zuo Xian. My name is Tu Gui. Do you dare to use your first name?"
Han De didn't wear any armor either, and said with a ferocious smile: "Where's all this nonsense?
I am just a nobody, and now I am here to take your life in the name of my son. Who cares about your background? Give me your life!"
Before he finished speaking, Han De jumped on his horse and rushed out.
His horse is not a good horse, but it is very fast.
In the blink of an eye, Han De was in front of Bald Gui. He tilted the round ax in his hand and headed straight for Bald Gui. As the saying goes, an expert can tell if there is a Bald Gui as soon as he reaches out his hand. Han De swung his axe, and the Bald Gui came.
Lai's expression suddenly changed drastically. He clamped his legs on the war horse, twisted his waist and wheeled the sword, gathered enough strength, and collapsed outwards... Hearing a loud clang, Bald Geilai stopped Han De's big axe.
But the huge force coming from the ax only made Bald Geilai's arm numb.
He dismounted his horse, hissed loudly, and took several steps back.
Before Bald Gei could come to his senses, Hande's ax fell again...
"General, I would like to thank Captain Cao for saving his life."
At this time, Captain Gou had arrived in front of Cao Peng.
Even though they are both school captains, the difference between school captains and school lieutenants is very big. Colonel Gou is just an inspection school captain, while Cao Peng is a famous Zhengqiang school captain. In terms of rank alone
Said that Cao Peng was one level higher than Colonel Gou... Moreover, even if Colonel Gou was at the same level as Cao Peng, he did not dare to show off in front of Cao Peng. When he got off his horse, he tried to bow down, but Cao Peng was
stop.
"You and I, Paoze, why should we be so polite?
On this mission, every move we made represented the honor of the imperial court. Lieutenant Gou, you have done a good job, at least you have not lost the face of my son, the son of the Han family."
"This humble position should be fulfilled."
Lieutenant Gou's face turned red, and he felt extremely happy.
He just relied on his qualifications to climb up to the position of inspection captain step by step. But it is basically impossible for him to get promoted again.
The reason is very simple!
Lieutenant Gou's martial arts skills are only second-rate, and he has no backers behind him.
So along the way, Lieutenant Gou always hoped that he could get in touch with Cao Peng and have someone to rely on in the future. Unfortunately, Cao Peng kept his name anonymous at first, and later because of his injury, he lived in seclusion and had no chance to contact him...
Now, having established a friendship with Cao Peng and being praised by Cao Peng, how could Captain Gou be unhappy?
This time, it will be prosperous!
Although Lieutenant Gou tried his best to look calm on his face, the bones in his body kept trembling, trembling with excitement.
Cao Peng didn't know that he had become a patron in the eyes of others.
After he exchanged a few words with Captain Gou, his eyes focused on the fighting field...
Tu Guilai is indeed a strong man, and he does have some abilities. However, compared with Han De, he seems to be far behind.
Han De is also a first-rate general, but he has benefited a lot from following Cao Peng for three years.
At first, Cao Peng taught him the eight opening postures of Bajiquan. Subtly, he learned that the killing method was extremely ferocious, using the method of opening and closing. Later, when Cao Peng saw that he sincerely surrendered to him, he changed his mind. During the war,
After getting Hua Tuo's consent, he taught Han De the Bear Opera, one of Hua Tuo's original Five Animal Skills. This Bear Opera has four movements, Bear Step, Shake Luck, Resistance, and Push. The effects of the four movements are
, is to strengthen the spleen and stomach and increase physical strength. Han De practiced for a year, making his physique extremely strong. When matched with his killing method, they complemented each other and doubled their power.
Although Bald Gui Lai's strength was great, it was not as strong as Hande's.
Hande, on the other hand, was tall and had long arms. He gained the upper hand in just two or three rounds...
If you change someone else, you may change your tactics, such as using softness to overcome strength. Although you may not be able to defeat Han De, you can still delay the time. Cao Peng said that if you can't win in ten rounds, let Han De "come to see you"
.However, this bald man is stubborn. He is obviously not as good as Han De in terms of physique, but he doesn't know the changes and still fights hard against hard.
There is no beauty in the confrontation between the two.
Hande's big ax fell, carrying the force of thunder.
But Tu Guilai tried his best to block it!
After five or six rounds, Tu Guilai's arms were sore and limp and he was sweating profusely.
Han De hit harder and harder, and the force of the disc ax increased and became heavier and heavier. Two more rounds passed, and after Bald Gui Lai withstood Han De's axe, his throat felt sweet and he breathed blood.
Spurted out. Before he could recover, Han De still refused to relax. He urged the horse wheel ax to reach Tu Guilai, and the big ax in his hand fell again...
"Han family, show mercy!"
In the distance, a group of people came in a hurry.
The leader was about six feet seven inches tall, with braided hair, and a shining gold ring on his forehead. Beside him, Liu Guang followed him on horseback. Seeing Bald Gui coming, he had already resisted.
Unable to stop, the Huns shouted loudly.
Cao Peng frowned, feeling that something was not right.
However, the soldiers around him were looking at him, and Cao Peng knew that he must not show any weakness at this time.
He turned a deaf ear to the Huns' cries.
He shouted sternly: "Xinzhi, there are two more moves..."
Han De trembled on his horse, with a ferocious smile on his face, and shouted loudly: "Master, one move is enough!"
The disc-shaped ax fell with a bang...
