Tan Zhe is not tall, and although his hair is braided, he has a strong Han appearance.
From his eyes, Cao Peng saw a strong desire. Even though Tan Zhe tried his best to hide it, Cao Peng could still feel the beast in his heart that was ready to move. This guy would not be too peaceful.
Lord!
"This time, Mr. Tan personally led the troops to solve the problem for me. I am very grateful."
Cao Peng was in the military tent and thanked Tan Zhe with his hands.
In the big tent, in addition to Cao Peng and Tan Zhe, Cai Yan, his mother and his son were also sitting in the seats. The faces of Ameiguai and Adiguai were still a little pale, and there was a faint look of fear in their eyes. They were hiding behind Cai Yan.
In his arms, Cao Peng secretly looked at Cao Peng from time to time. Cai Yan, on the other hand, looked very calm. He sat aside and just hugged the brother and sister tightly. After experiencing too many right and wrong, Cai Yan was no longer the same guard as before.
The ignorant girl who left home.
She knew that Cao Peng wanted to take her back to the Central Plains, but she did not expect that Cao Peng would use such a violent method.
Hongdu stood behind Tanzhe, looking respectful.
Tan Zhe hurriedly stepped forward and helped Cao Peng: "Tan Zhe is just an uncivilized and rude person. He can be valued by General Beizhonglang. How can he not obey him? Besides, General Beizhonglang and Hong both saved lives."
, Hongdu is my brother, I should do my best. However, Zuo Xian Wang Liu Bao is very powerful, and Tan Zhe has offended him this time, I am afraid..."
Cao Peng said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Tan. Liu Bao may not be able to use his hands to deal with Mr. Tan for a while."
"how do I say this?"
"Master Tan, don't you know yet?"
"Appreciate further details."
Cao Peng said: "Huchuquan is dead!"
With these five words, Tan Zhe's expression suddenly changed, and Cai Yan even looked surprised.
"Master Tan, please don't misunderstand me. The death of Huchuquan was not my fault and has nothing to do with me. He died at the hands of General Samad Khan under Master Kebineng. I really dare not take credit. When Huchuquan died,
Liu Bao and Qubei will definitely fight to the death for the position of Shan Yu. Therefore, for now, Master Tan's Black Water Department is not in any danger."
Tan Zhe couldn't help but think, "There is such a thing..."
Ke Bineng actually killed Huchuquan?
This really surprised Tan Zhe. However, he was not a fool, and he soon figured out Ke Bineng's true thoughts.
The alliance between the Han Dynasty and the Huns will inevitably pose a huge threat to Kebineng.
The Southern Xiongnu were ferocious and warlike, with nearly 200,000 men who controlled the strings. If they got the support of the Han Dynasty and obtained a large amount of equipment and equipment, they would definitely retaliate against the Xianbei people on the grassland. When Tan Shihuai was there,
But the suppression against the Huns was very serious. Now that the Huns have gained power, and Xianbei is not as good as before, how can they not take revenge?
Kebineng is currently busy fighting with Yan Youli and definitely does not want the Xiongnu to develop and grow.
Therefore, destroying the alliance between the Southern Xiongnu and the Han people is the best way. If Huchuquan is killed, the Xiongnu will definitely fall into internal fighting. As Cao Peng said, at least for now, Tan Zhe is still considered
Safety……
From the corner of his eye, he glanced at Cai Yan beside him.
There was a bit of greed in Tan Zhe's eyes.
Cai Yan couldn't help but tremble in his heart and shrank subconsciously.
After many years of wandering, he was very familiar with Tan Zhe's look. He held Adiguai and Ameigai brother and sister tightly with both hands, and secretly blamed Cao Peng: Why did he hand over his trump card so quickly? Don't you know?
,Hu people always do not keep their word?
Cao Peng's eyes suddenly turned cold.
Crossing Tanzhe, he glanced at Hongdu.
Hong Du shook his head slightly as if inadvertently.
Cao Peng suddenly laughed and said, "Master Tan just called me Beizhong Lang General?"
"Oh, could it be that Cao Zhonglang doesn't know yet?"
"what do you know?"
"Your Han Dynasty court has sent people to rebuild Lian County, and appointed the young master as Beizhonglang General to control the Hexi area.
This matter has been spread, and it is said that officials from your Han Dynasty court will arrive in Lian County in the near future... Haha, speaking of it, Bei Zhonglang will leave Lian County. In the future, I, Heishui Xianbei, will have to trouble Cao Zhonglang a lot.
."
If we say, Tan Zhe's attitude was a bit humble at first.
After hearing that Liu Bao could no longer pose a threat, his attitude immediately changed.
Cao Peng and Pang Tong looked at each other, and from Pang Tong's eyes, he could see the disdain in his heart.
So, he nodded slightly and signaled Pang Tong to speak.
Pang Tong sneered and said: "Master Tan, although Liu Bao can't take action for a while, in my opinion, the situation in Heishui Xianbei has become more dangerous."
Tan Zhe was stunned, "This gentleman is..."
"This is a famous scholar from the Central Plains. I am a disciple of Mr. Sima Hui of Mr. Shui Jing of Shui Jing Villa in Jingzhou. He is the son of Pang Ji of Lumen Mountain. He is Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan. His name is Feng Chu. He has great talents. He is now fighting for me. Since he said so, he must
It’s not alarmist.”
The Hu people have always been hostile to the Han people and respected them at the same time.
The rise of the Huns is inseparably linked to the support of the Han people.
During the Warring States Period, countless Han people fled to the Huns due to wars, and not many of them had great talents. Especially when the Qin Dynasty destroyed the Six Kingdoms, the nobles of the Six Kingdoms either fled to the south or to the north of the Great Wall, spreading Han culture to the Huns.
…
Including Yu Maodun, the most famous great Chan of the Huns, he also had many Han advisers.
This also made the Huns have great respect for Han scribes. Although Tan Zhe disdained Han people, he also respected Han celebrities very much. Although he had never heard of the names of Sima Hui and Pang Ji, they sounded very powerful.
Tan Zhe said quickly: "Please tell me, Sir, how can I, Heishui Xianbei, be more dangerous?"
Pang Tong sneered and said: "With the power of King Zuoxian alone, can Heishui Xianbei resist?"
"Irresistible!"
Tan Zhe told the truth and didn't hide anything.
Pang Tong said: "Heishui Xianbei cannot resist just a Zuoxian King. However, if Liu Bao is just a Zuoxian King, it will be easy to defeat Heishui Xianbei, but it will be difficult to destroy Heishui Xianbei. But if Liu Bao is the big one
Therefore, if we use the power of the Xiongnu, Heishui Xianbei may be destroyed. Moreover, in my opinion, King Zuo Xian is the most likely to succeed the Great Chanyu."
"ah?"
Tan Zhe was startled, and after a long while he said to Ai Ai: "King Youxian, it seems that he is not weak in strength."
"Although King Youxian is not weak, he has an inherent disadvantage. In order to balance the power of Qubei and King Zuoxian, Hu Chuquan placed King Zuoxian Liu Bao in Shentuze, and ordered King Youxian to go to Beibei.
, guarding the city of Shoujiang... At first glance, King Youxian had elite soldiers and generals in his hands, but once Huchuquan died, it was extremely difficult for him to enter Shuofang.
In Shentuze, Liu Bao could easily cross the river, occupy Fertile Field and other places, and take advantage of the situation to capture Nandan Yuting.
He only needs to place his elite troops in Heyin to block King Youxian's troops from the north of the river. As for Liu Bao, as long as he captures Nandan Yuting, he can easily obtain all the Huchuquan within Shuofang.
Strength... Even if we get the tribe of Danhan Mountain, they are blocked in the area north of the river. There are Wuwan in the east and Xianbei in the north. It may be easy to survive by hand, but if you want to aspire to the position of the Great Chanyu, I think
It’s absolutely impossible…”
Pang Tong's analysis made Tan Zhe break into a cold sweat.
He bit his lip, raised his head after a while, and said softly: "Please save me, sir."
Cao Peng closed his eyes.
Pang Tong smiled and said nothing...
Tan Zhe gritted his teeth and said, "Cao Zhonglang was ordered to go out to control Hexi. Tan Zhe is willing to do the hard work of dogs and horses."
"really?"
"Never break a promise."
Cao Peng stared at Tan Zhe with burning eyes.
That sharp gaze made Tan Zhe panic.
After a long while, Cao Peng suddenly said: "Actually, it is not difficult to deal with Liu Bao. I have eight words that can make Master Tan not only not threatened by Liu Bao, but also strengthen the power of Heishui Xianbei."
Tan Zhe didn't care about being reserved and asked quickly: "Dare you ask those eight words?"
"It's very simple. Send troops to Mobei and join forces to fight."
"Send troops to Mobei? Join forces to fight?"
At this time, Pang Tong spoke again: "Liu Bao previously dominated Mobei and was very powerful.
But now that Huchuquan is dead, he will definitely send troops and horses back to Shuofang to win the Shanyu position and resist Qubei's attack.
As a result, Liu Bao's power in Mobei will be greatly reduced... Mobei's military strength is empty, which is the best time for Master Tan to return to the grassland and establish a great cause. In this regard, Mr. Cao can give Master Tan the greatest support
.
Such as weapons, food and grass...
Lord Tan, you should know that Mr. Cao is highly valued by Mr. Cao. I heard someone say last year that Mr. Cao is currently replacing the weapons in the army. The replaced weapons have been repaired, but they are not as good as the newly issued weapons.
, but it can be considered rare... More importantly, the quantity of this batch of weapons is very large. If Master Tan gets these weapons, he can easily establish a foothold in Mobei."
Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Theory of Salt and Iron was promulgated.
Salt and iron were bought and sold by the government, and the export to the Hu people was extremely strictly controlled.
The Southern Xiongnu were semi-naturalized Hu people, so they were relatively better off. However, Heishui Xianbei had never surrendered to the Han Dynasty, and their ability to make their own weapons was weak. Most of them relied on smuggling to trade.
If it can be smuggled, how can we ensure the quality?
The weapons of Heishui Xianbei have always been relatively backward, so every time they clashed with the Xiongnu, they would suffer heavy losses.
Although the weapons were eliminated by the Han army, their victory lies in their large numbers.
Tan Zhe was immediately moved. If he could get Cao Cao's support in weapons, it would really be possible for him to establish a foothold in Mobei.
With burning heat in his eyes, Tan Zhe looked at Cao Peng.
Cao Peng said with a smile: "My father is also the arsenal commander. If Heishui Xianbei can afford the price, why does it matter just the weapons?"
Tan Zhe heard this and said loudly: "Cao Zhonglang, I, Heishui Xianbei, am not good at anything else, but I am best at herding horses.
When King Tanshihuai was here, my Heishui Xianbei's war horses were outstanding in the whole of Great Xianbei. To be honest with Cao Zhonglang, all the mounts of King Tanshihuai's royal army were provided by me, Heishui Xianbei... If Cao Zhonglang
Tan Zhe can be given convenience, and Tan Zhe can exchange horses, cattle and sheep with Cao Zhonglang, what do you think?"
Cao Peng couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.
"I can report this to Duke Cao."
"Then what's the point of joining forces to fight?"
Pang Tong continued: "Master Tan, if Liu Bao is a great chanyu, will he bow his head?"
"Won't!"
"Not only will he not do it, but he will also compete with Liu Bao.
It is quite difficult to compete with Liu Bao with Qu Bei alone. His situation is not good either. If Master Tan can join forces with Qu Bei, he can at least maintain a stalemate with Liu Bao. Joining forces with Qu Bei, there is a chance
There are many benefits. Qubei is far more interested in Shuofang than Mobei. And since he is not as strong as Liu Bao, can't Master Tan ask for more benefits?"
Cao Peng said: "It is easy to add icing on the cake, but difficult to provide help when the time is right.
If Liu Bao wins Shuofang, even if you are willing to surrender, it is just the icing on the cake; while Qubei is weaker, so you can gain more benefits by joining forces with him. If Mr. Tan wants to gain a foothold in Mobei, Qubei's support is crucial.
To be honest with Lord Tan, I have some friendship with Qubei, and if Lord Tan is willing, I can introduce you to him."
Tan Zhe was really moved this time!
Cao Peng and Pang Tong looked at each other and smiled, knowing that Tan Zhe had been solved.
He didn't know that he had taken up the post of Beizhong Lang General, but now that he learned from Tan Zhe, it was an unexpected surprise.
It seems that Cao Cao also values Hexi, so he agreed so happily.
It's just that this Beizhonglang general was indeed beyond Cao Peng's expectation. He originally thought that getting the position of Colonel Protecting Qiang would be enough, but he didn't know that Cao Cao actually directly appointed him as Beizhonglang general. This Beizhonglang general
The general was just a general with a general name. However, Cao Peng officially returned to his official career and was promoted again.
In terms of position, Beizhong Langjiang is almost the same as Yueqi Xiaowei.
But the power of General Bei Zhonglang is much greater than that of Yueqi Xiaowei... In the whole of Hexi, General Bei Zhonglang should be respected.
Now, although Cao Peng has not yet received the seal, he has laid a solid foundation for his rule in Hexi. By driving Heishui Xianbei out of Hexi and allowing him to meet the Xiongnu in Mobei, on the one hand, he can contain the power of the Xiongnu.
On the other hand, it can also reduce the harm he does in Hexi. After all, it is always a trouble for such a group of people to stay in Hexi.
Cao Peng secretly rejoiced that this Tan Zhe was only a middle-level talent and could not be put to great use.
After discussing with Tan Zhe, Cao Peng led Cai Yan and his daughter on the return journey.
"Mom, where are we going?"
Ameiguai leaned in Cai Yan's arms and asked with some fear.
Cai Yan hesitated for a moment and raised the curtain, "Mr. Cao, what do you want to do with my mother and son?"
Cao Peng was startled, "Everyone Cai, don't worry.
Our friends were ordered by Sikong to welcome Mr. Cai home. After arriving at Lian County, we waited for the envoy to arrive. After the mission arrived, Mr. Cai could return to Xudu together with Deputy Envoy Tian and others. Under Deputy Envoy Tian's care, we were able to
No danger."
"Master Cao, aren't you going back to Xudu?"
Cai Yan asked in surprise.
"No, I will stay in Lian County... I think everyone in Cai understands what Tan Zhe said just now. Peng has been appointed as Beizhonglang General and has been ordered to go out to control Hexi. Such a great country, if it is ignored,
I really feel ashamed of my ancestors. I will stay here to make Hexi take off... Maybe Cai will come back in ten years, and Hexi will become a fortress in the south of the Yangtze River."
"Stop Jiangnan?"
Cai Yan bit her red lips, her eyes blurred.
After a long while, she suddenly said: "Young Master Cao, you know that my father was once a general in Beizhong."
"ah?"
Cao Peng looked at Cai Yan in astonishment, not quite understanding the meaning of her words.
But Cai Yan seemed to have lost his interest in talking. The car curtain fell, and a faint sigh came from the car...
"The frost is biting and the body is bitterly cold, and I am hungry for meat and cheese and cannot eat. I hear the sound of long water at night and sob, and the road to see the Great Wall is long. Looking back on the past, it is difficult to carry luggage, and I feel sad that I want to stop playing."
In the car, the sound of Hujia was heard.
Cao Peng looked at the low curtain of the car in confusion, and couldn't help turning his head and asked: "Shi Yuan, what's wrong with everyone Cai?"
