Cao Peng sat behind the handsome case, his eyes closed and his face calm.
Hao Zhao, Liang Kuan, and Jiang Xu were sitting on both sides, Cao Zhang and Cai Di stood behind Cao Peng, and Wang Shuangniu Gang was on duty outside the tent.
Liu Qing lowered her head and knelt in the center of the tent.
At this time, he had figured out the origin of the third young master, but he did not expect that he was actually the son of Cao Cao, the great Sikong.
That Niu Gang is the nephew of Dian Wei, the general of the Tiger Guard, and his background is not small.
But in this big tent, neither Cao Zhang nor Niu Gang had a seat. Cao Zhang was better, at least he could stand in the big tent. But Niu Gang... actually didn't even have the qualifications to be in the big tent.
Guard outside the tent.
Liu Qing had heard about Cao Peng before.
However, he didn't know exactly what the background of the calm young man in front of him was.
But now, he understands!
The background of this gentleman is not something that a little uncle like him can guess. Even Cao Zhang can only act as his retinue. It is conceivable how big the background of Cao Peng is. There was no sound in the big tent, and Liu Qing was even more...
He didn't even dare to take a breath. He didn't know what would happen next, but he felt vaguely uneasy.
"Quitou? Isn't that Tan Shihuai's grandson?"
Cao Peng opened his eyes and asked.
"Quitou has been dead for many years, how could he appear in Hexi?"
"Sir, this leader is not that leader."
Jiang Xu stood up, bowed and replied: "I think the 'Chiefou' Du Bo mentioned is the Shikui tribe of Hongze. The Shikui tribe is very barbaric and likes to be called the leader, so all the leaders of the tribe call it that."
It is the 'head'. Kuitou is the name given to Shi Kui by the Shi Kui tribe. Outside the tribe, it is often called the leader... In the early years, the last general had dealt with the Shi Kui tribe. This man was arrogant and unruly.
Untamedness can be said to be a major scourge on the Hongze Muyuan. The Shikui tribe has been nomadic for generations, and it is said that it can be traced back to the Yongping period. In terms of qualifications, Shikui is older than Dou Lan...
It is precisely for this reason that Shi Kui has never been convinced by Dou Lan.
A few years ago, because of a dispute with Dou Lan, he stopped obeying Dou Lan's orders.
Nominally, this Shikui tribe is still a member of the Hongze Covenant, but in fact... this man is very arrogant and warlike, and has close contacts with the Qiang and Hu. I heard that Dou Lan wants to abolish the Shikui tribe this time when he is renovating Hongze.
Kui tribe was merged into the Geng family tribe. But Shi Kui disagreed and argued with the Geng family tribe. In addition, he had been nomadic for many years and had no fixed residence, so the Geng family tribe has not captured him yet... As for Dou Lan,
It seems that the Shi Kui tribe is also very troubled."
Affiliated to Hongze, but independent of Hongze...
After Jiang Xu's explanation, Cao Peng had some understanding of Shi Kui.
Rubbing his cheek gently, Cao Peng suddenly asked: "Your name is Liu Qing, right."
"Exactly."
Liu Qing quickly fell to the ground and answered.
"You just said that when Shi Kui was evacuating, he mentioned a place called Hongshui Beach?"
"Yes... but they spoke too fast, and there was a mix of nonsense and Han. I was a little dazed at the time, so I couldn't hear the content clearly. But I will never listen to the three words "Hongshuitan" because they mentioned two words.
times, so I was quite impressed. I just don’t know the location of Hongshui Beach, but I think it’s not too far away.”
"oh?"
"When those men attacked the humble men, they were not carrying any baggage.
In other words, they rode out lightly, so their home base should not be far away. If Hongshui Beach is their home base, it must be near Hongshui Beach."
Cao Peng couldn't help but laugh, "This guy is also smart...
Jiang Xu, have you ever heard of the name of this red water beach?"
Although Jiang Xu and Liang Kuan are not from Hongze, they have been rangers for many years, so they are familiar with Hongze.
The two looked at each other, smiled bitterly and shook their heads.
"Sir, this is the first time my brother has heard of the word "Red Water Beach".
Cao Peng couldn't help but frown and tapped lightly with his fingers.
After a long while, he suddenly said: "Go and ask the Hunu in the camp to see if anyone knows the location of Hongshuitan. I estimate that Hongshuitan is not a Han dialect, but is probably a transliteration of local nonsense." Liu
Qing was a little confused at the time, so he thought it was the Red Water Beach... Those old Hu slaves might know. Tell them, if anyone knows where the Red Water Beach is and is willing to lead the way, I can pardon his and his family's status as slaves.
.”
Jiang Xu and Liang Kuan heard this and immediately accepted the order.
"Hao Zhao, prepare your troops and prepare to attack."
Cao Zhang suddenly said excitedly: "Teacher, can I go out to fight?"
Cao Peng glanced at him and said, "Follow me and obey my orders. You can only fight when I ask you to fight..."
Liu Qing, please don’t go back yet.
I will report this matter to Lian Bao, and you can stay here for the time being and wait for my orders."
"Humble and obey!"
Everyone got up and left one after another.
Cao Zhang ran out of the tent happily and took Niu Gang to get ready.
However, Cao Peng found that Cai Di seemed to be deep in thought and had not spoken.
"Caidi, what's wrong with you?"
"Sir, I'm wondering what Red Water Beach means?"
"oh?"
"In the Xiongnu language, there is the word husu. If it becomes Han Chinese, it means yellow flowers... Could husu beach mean this: a place covered with yellow flowers? What if those people said husu instead of hongshui
, then it may be more convenient to search.”
Cao Peng was stunned!
For the first time since his rebirth, he discovered how important it is to master a foreign language.
Especially in a place like this where Hu and Han live together, if you can understand the Qiang and Hu language, you can definitely get twice the result with half the effort. Husu and hongshui, at first glance, are somewhat similar. Just now Jiang Xu said that the Hu culture in Shikui tribe is very serious.
That is very likely to happen. Thinking of this, Cao Peng's eyes narrowed into a line subconsciously.
"Wang Shuang!"
"The end will be here."
"Go and ask, is there a place with yellow flowers in its name around Hongshui County?"
"Here!"
Wang Shuang quickly accepted the order and left, leaving only Cao Peng and Cai Di in the tent.
"Caidy, well done!"
Hearing Cao Peng's compliment, Cai Di suddenly smiled and looked very excited.
"Sir, I have something to ask you."
"Please give me your instructions, sir."
"After Hongshui County is built, can you teach Mr. Xiongnu dialect?"
"ah?"
Cao Peng took a deep breath and reached out to rub Cai Di's head. "Sir, he is not a rigid person, nor is he the kind of person who sticks to the rules and doesn't know how to adapt. Since I have been ordered to control Hexi, I will fight with the Qiang, Hu and Xiongnu in the future.
Communication between them is indispensable. If possible, learning some foreign languages is always a good thing for me.
Haha, from now on, Mr. Cai Di will have to rely on him to speak nonsense!"
Cai Di looked very excited and nodded repeatedly, but was speechless...
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

As Cao Peng expected, there is indeed a place called Huanghualin to the west of Hongshui County, between the Gengjia tribe and Hongshui County. It is said to be a forest, but actually there are more trees, but the overall terrain is still
A plain. But the terrain is relatively low and covered with wormwood. In this low-lying jungle, there is a yellow plant growing, which is said to be able to treat some common diseases, so some people call it Huanghuatan.
son……
At first, Jiang Xu and others really didn't have a clue.
However, as Cao Peng asked them to pronounce it with husu, a Hunu thought of Huanghualin.
According to Nahunu, Huanghualin is indeed an easy place to hide. And most people don't pay much attention to it.
Cao Peng immediately ordered the Hu Nu to lead the scouts to investigate.
In order to reward the Hunu's cooperation, Cao Peng not only canceled the slave status of the six Hunu family on the spot, but also gave them a tent for their family of six to live in. This behavior also attracted the envy of many Hunu
Incomparable. Especially those who knew Huang Hualin began to regret, why not be the first to stand up and cooperate?
After all, there is a world of difference between the status of slaves and civilians.
But it was precisely because of this reward that the Hunus knew that this young General Cao Peng was a man of his word.
Moreover, he does not deliberately hate Hu people.
As long as you are willing to cooperate with him and do things according to his rules, you will get a more comfortable living environment.
If the Hunus were still somewhat hostile to Cao Peng before, this hostility has weakened a lot now. On the grassland, the law of the jungle is the most basic law of survival. Since they were captured and made slaves, then
It shows that they have that ability. Especially Xiutu, he has a more intuitive understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Han army.
I remember that at the beginning, Deng Fan led two thousand Han troops, almost crushing them, and beat the Tuge Huqi until they were running away with their heads covered.
In the end, even their leader became a prisoner.
Xiutuge betrayed Hongze first, so there is nothing to complain about. If they can betray, then the Han army can also attack. This kind of thing is only natural. It seems that as long as they cooperate with the Han army in the future, Xiutuge will be able to return sooner or later.
On that day, everyone in Xiutu became very enthusiastic about work and actually completed the schedule ahead of schedule...
"You mean, Mr. Cao wants you to teach him Hun dialect?"
Cai Yan put down the pen in his hand, looked at Cai Di doubtfully and asked.
Cai Di nodded excitedly. It could be seen that he was still a little excited...
"This is so good, why does Mr. Cao want to learn Hu dialect?"
"The gentleman said that since he wants to control Hexi, the people living in Hexi, whether they are Hu people or Han people, are children under his rule. He said that he hopes to have friendly exchanges with the Hu people in Hexi, so he wants to
Learn Chinese."
After hearing this, Cai Yan couldn't help but laugh.
"This Mr. Cao is really interesting."
Since ancient times, I have only heard of Hu people learning the Han language, but I have never heard of one parent taking the initiative to learn the Hu language.
Although Cai Yan knew that Cao Peng was nicknamed Cao Sanpian and had a good reputation among scholars.
But in my heart, I still think that it seems a bit childish for Cao Cao to appoint Cao Peng as Beizhonglang General. Cai Yong also did Beizhonglang General, but it was a height that Cai Yong only reached when he was decades old. Now, Cao Cao
At the age of twenty-one, Peng took the position of Beizhong Langjiang... How could Cai Yan really be convinced by Cao Peng?
Even if Cai Di Di was asked to be Cao Peng's teacher, it was for the sake of Cai Di's future.
However, after hearing what Cai Di said today, Cai Yan really became a little interested in Cao Peng.
"Amaiguai."
"Aniang!"
