Cao Zhang laughed, while Niu Gang scratched his head and remained silent.
Sometimes, not speaking is more expressive than speaking. Cao Peng immediately understood that this guy must have cheated on his family.
However, he didn't scold him in front of everyone, and he didn't even ask.
"Okay, let's talk about it after we go in."
Cao Peng spoke and walked towards the military camp.
At this time, Hao Zhao had already led his men out of the camp. When he saw Cao Peng, he quickly bowed and said, "I am wearing armor, so I cannot be polite. Please forgive me, sir."
"Bo Dao, why are you here?"
"Marquis Fengche heard that the young master was stationed in the west of Fuhe. He was worried that the young master would have no available people, so he came first. Zishan and the others had already passed Tongguan. Due to the migration of 8,000 households, their movement was slow. It is expected that they will arrive next time.
He could only arrive in the middle of the month. Before leaving, Zishan asked the general to say hello to the young master and said that he would come to Hexi as soon as possible to serve the young master.
In addition, Wen Gui has also arrived in Dongjun.
Captain Deng knows that the conditions here are difficult, so he is actively raising food and grass. Wen Gui is waiting in Dongjun for the time being and is expected to arrive next month. Wen Gui also said that Captain Deng has prepared 6,000 stones of food and grass and will send it via Hedong.
Arrived in Hexi. Now Duke Cao is about to send troops to Hebei, so Captain Deng can only help so much."
Deng Xiaowei is Deng Ji.
In early May, Manchong, the former governor of Dongjun, crossed the river and left the town of Hanoi and recommended Deng Ji as the governor of Dongjun.
This appointment also triggered a dispute in the court. Some people believed that Deng Ji was too young and disabled, so he could be a military commander in the field, but it was unreasonable to be in charge of a party. Fortunately, due to various reasons, Qingliu
He did not participate in this debate. This allowed the pro-Deng faction to gain the upper hand and finally approved the appointment.
Deng Ji, nearly thirty years old, officially became a member of the True Two Thousand Stones and officially entered the core class of Cao Wei.
With Deng Ji taking charge of Dongjun, it also means that Cao Peng's family has become Cao Cao's important ministers. Cao Ji, the commander of the city gate, the commander of the arsenal, and the Marquis of Fengche; Deng Ji, the prefect of Dongjun, the military commander of Tuntian; and the general of Beizhonglang.
Cao Peng, with a salary of six thousand stone, was rare in the Cao Wei camp. Even important ministers like Xun Yu and Guo Jia did not have such honor.
Cao Peng knew that his family had been pushed to the forefront...
But who cares about this?
Cao Wei will conquer the world sooner or later. All Cao Peng has to do now is to hug Cao Cao's thigh tightly.
At this time, it was the critical moment for Cao Cao to reach his peak. Sima Yi was still in Qixian, serving as Cao Pi's staff and was unknown; Zhuge Liang was still studying in Longzhong and had not yet divided the world (Cao Peng didn't know yet that Zhuge Liang had already left the mountain).
Cao Peng is already ahead of everyone. What he needs to do next is to continuously consolidate his advantages.
Hao Zhao led the way, and Cao Peng and his party walked into the barracks.
"How many people will Bo Dao lead?"
"There are seven hundred people coming to Hexi this time, including three hundred black ones, one hundred flying ones, and three hundred servants."
"Three hundred servants?"
Cao Peng said in astonishment: "What is this good person doing with so many servants?"
Hao Zhao smiled and said: "This is the old lady's arrangement."
Since it was Zhang's arrangement, Cao Peng couldn't say anything. According to his rank, Xu Du now had 600 black and 200 flying zodiacs. This time, Hao Zhao allocated half of his private corps at once.
Soldiers can be regarded as a limit. Of course, as Deng Ji and Cao Peng's status becomes higher and higher, the number of private soldiers he can maintain will also increase.
According to the law, Cao Peng, as Beizhong Lang General, could raise 800 private soldiers; Deng Ji, as the governor of Dongjun, could also raise 800 private soldiers. Taking into account Deng Ji's rank, Cao Peng's family could raise more than 2,000 soldiers.
Private soldiers. But neither Cao Peng nor Deng Ji dared to recruit so many soldiers. If his family had two thousand private soldiers, it is estimated that Lao Cao would be the first to trouble them. So so far,
, the Cao family only has eight hundred private soldiers.
Of course, there is also the factor that elite soldiers are hard to find.
If Cao Peng really had two thousand elite soldiers, I think Cao Cao would not be able to sleep...
"Ziwen, how come you two are together?"
In the big tent, Cao Peng looked at Cao Zhang doubtfully and asked.
Now you can ask!
Because except for Cai Di, everyone else in the account is his confidant.
Cao Zhang told Cao Peng the reasons for the incident one by one, "Sir, I will not go back! If you insist on driving me away, I will remain anonymous and join the army with Niu Gang. Anyway, I have made up my mind not to make any meritorious deeds.
I won’t return to Xudu.”
"Ziwen also stole Mr. Cao's claw, Huang Feidian."
"ah?"
Cao Peng was also surprised when he heard this.
But immediately, there was another feeling of laughter and laughter.
Hao Zhao said: "The last general met Ziwen when he entered Tongguan.
Originally I didn't dare to let him come, but... I thought about it and decided that instead of letting him come by himself, it would be better to go with him, at least it would be safer."
Seeing Cao Zhang's determined face, Cao Peng also had a headache.
He was quite worried. If something happened to Cao Zhang in Hexi, he would inevitably be in a lot of trouble.
Cao Cao has already lost one of his sons in the war. If Cao Zhang... But he is unwilling to go back. If he is forced to go back, he may cause trouble. Just like Cao Zhang said, this guy really dares to surrender to the army incognito.
Forget it, let him stay and see what Lao Cao decides.
"Ziwen, I really need help now.
But let me tell you something ugly earlier. Now that you have arrived in Hexi, you must obey my orders. At the beginning, don’t think about killing the enemy with meritorious service. Just stay with me and be my tooth soldier. Wait until when I think you can
Now that we are on the battlefield, I will let you lead the troops in battle. Cai Di, Ziwen has practiced martial arts with me before, and he is considered your senior brother. You should take him to get familiar with the environment first. Ziwen, when you come here, I will not give you anything.
Preferential treatment, you are a tooth soldier."
Cao Zhang was very happy to be able to stay.
He quickly stepped forward and said, "Students, please obey your instructions."
"Niu Gang, you are old and stable in times of trouble.
I am now starting to build Hongshui County, and I also need manpower to help. In a moment, you can take my order and report to Liang Kuan. You will temporarily lead the Army Sima, and together with Jiang Xu, you will be responsible for supervising those slaves. I will give you the specific details later.
You make arrangements. Remember, you, like Ziwen, have no special powers here."
"I will obey your orders!"
After dealing with these two minor troubles, Cao Peng asked Cai Di and Wang Shuang to lead them out.
"Tell me, who is in the camp?"
When Hao Zhao spoke just now, there was a faint hint of tone.
It was just because Cao Zhang and the others were present that it was difficult for Hao Zhao to explain clearly.
Now that Cao Zhang and the others are out, Cao Peng naturally wants to cross-examine him. Hao Zhao scratched his head and chuckled...
"Sir, please follow me."
The two of them walked out of the military tent and went straight to the back camp.
Due to the rush, the camp has not been properly arranged. Moreover, Hao Zhao also knew that after meeting Cao Peng, he would set up camp again, so he simply set up camp. The entire camp was divided into two parts, the front and rear. The front camp was composed of elite black men.
and Fei Qian Baiqi; the back camp is mainly composed of slaves, and also has the protection of supervisors and baggage...
Cao Peng originally thought that these three hundred slaves were all men.
But when I walked into the back camp, I discovered that there were also a small group of women.
There were about forty or fifty people, ranging in age. The older ones were in their forties, and the younger ones were probably only in their teens.
In the back camp, there are three small tents.
One in front and two in back, displayed in the shape of "pin".
Cao Peng stepped into the small tent in front and was stunned.
"Why are you here?"
"Husband!"
In the small tent, two women were tidying up.
A couch occupies almost two-thirds of the small tent. The couch is covered with a whole white wolf skin cushion, and there is a writing desk on it. There are cattail mats placed on both sides, making the small tent form a simple
There is a reception room. Under the couch, there is a brazier with a charcoal fire burning brightly. There is also a kettle hanging on it, spraying water vapor outward.
Standing at both ends, the snow mastiff is as tall as a man, like a lion, and it is originally prostrate on the ground.
When Cao Peng walked in, the two snow mastiffs stood up at the same time, staring at Cao Peng eagerly. But after a while, the two pairs of cold eyes showed joy, and rushed to Cao Peng, whining
uttered a hissing sound.
Dabai, Xiaobai?
At that time, Liu Guang gave Cao Peng four small mastiffs, which were adopted by Huang Yueying and four others respectively.
Dabai and Xiaobai are the pets of Buluan and Guo Huan. When these two snow mastiffs appeared here, the identities of the two women in green clothes in the tent were revealed. When they heard the noise, the two women stopped their hands.
The man turned his head to look at Cao Peng, showing surprise. If Hao Zhao hadn't been there, the two of them might have thrown themselves into Cao Peng's arms.
Cao Peng looked at the two charming women in front of him in astonishment, and felt confused for a while...
"This old lady's order will only be followed."
After Hao Zhao finished speaking, he immediately exited the small tent.
Cao Peng, on the other hand, stood beside the couch. Under the tug of Buluan and Guo Huan, he took off his boots and climbed onto the couch.
"Xiaoluan, Xiaohuan, you...
This is sheer nonsense. If you two don't stay at home and help me serve my mother, why are you here in this land west of Hexi?"
Bu Luan's eyes turned red, showing a look of grievance.
Guo Huan said softly: "Husband, my sister came with Sikong's consent."
"oh?"
According to the rules, when officials are sent abroad, especially when they are leading an army alone, their children are not allowed to leave Xudu.
It can be regarded as a hostage that has changed its direction!
After all, leading troops outside does not make people feel at ease if they don’t have any support.
Guo Huan and Buluan are concubines, so they are not included in this list. If they were Huang Yueying and Xia Houzhen, they would not be allowed.
"My wife said that if your husband is working in this bitter and cold place, and there is no one to take care of him, they will not be able to rest assured.
So Mrs. Zhen found Mrs. Huan and asked her to intercede with Sikong. Sikong finally agreed and let me and I accompany her to take care of her."
Cao Peng suddenly understood, looked at the two girls, and sighed after a while.
"Since we know that Hexi is a bitter and cold place, why did you two come here to suffer with me?"
"My husband has done a great job. Although my sister is not very capable, she can at least serve her husband without too much suffering. My sister has been with her husband for a long time and has experienced many dangers, not to mention this mere wind? Moreover, we are here,
Mrs. Shuo and Mrs. Zhen can also rest assured, at least they don’t have to worry about it all day like before..."
Cao Peng was immediately speechless.
At this time, two snow mastiffs at the door suddenly stood up and let out a low growl.
"Young white man, little white man, don't be rude."
Guo Huan and Bu Luan quickly stepped forward to stop them.
But I heard an old and cold voice coming from outside the tent, "You two young ladies, can you tell me your heart to the young master?" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to ***(***
