Chapter 434: Building a city overnight (please vote for recommendation!)
When it snowed heavily, the adults of various tribes in Hexi Province all received a very special gift.
Cao Peng, the governor of Hexi and Beizhonglang general, invited the tribesmen of Hexi to come to Hongshui to discuss matters.
In the past, no one would have ignored this invitation. But now, as the Hongshui camp becomes more and more popular, Fengmingtan and Lianbao have been greatly supplemented, and a contrasting relationship has been formed.
Hongshui Camp has strong support.
In particular, the establishment of Fengmingtan County was both unexpected and reasonable.
After the Battle of Fengmingtan, Deng Fan captured more than 10,000 Qiang and Hu people. Cao Peng transferred 1,500 Han households from Hongshui Camp. Together with the previous Han troops, the population exceeded 20,000. Such a huge
The population base in Hexi is enough to establish a county. However, Cao Peng used Fengmingtan to help defend, but now he took it away to establish a county without saying anything, which made many people feel uncomfortable and at the same time aware of Cao Peng's intentions.
Strong, and unchangeable determination.
Hexi was under the rule of the imperial court.
I want to establish a county here, and it is under the orders of the imperial court. Who dares to stop me?
Taking advantage of the victory at Fengmingtan, Cao Peng took Fengmingtan by force, but no one dared to express any different opinions.
This is Cao Peng’s ‘power’!
Nowadays, Cao Peng summons the leaders of various tribes to discuss matters, which makes people even more panic-stricken.
Some people are dismissive, but some people are frightened.
On October 27th, there was a lot of excitement outside the Hongshui Camp. There was an endless stream of tribal leaders who came to participate in the meeting, which was particularly noisy.
In order to appease the leaders of various tribes, Cao Peng ordered people to set up a camp to the west of Hongshui Camp and sent a special person to be responsible for entertaining. Jia Xing naturally took on the responsibility of entertaining. He spoke fluent Liangzhou dialect and talked from time to time.
They also greet and greet the adults of each tribe in Qiang, Hu and Xiongnu languages, which makes people feel very comfortable.
"Hongsha Gang, Lord Tanzhe is here!"
As the sergeant shouted, the tribal adults who had arrived at the camp cheered up and hurriedly walked out of the tent.
Tanzhe has a very high status in Hexi.
In addition to Qianghu and Hongze, it can be regarded as the third largest force.
Now, even Tan Zhe is here, and even if those tribal adults feel uncomfortable, they are a lot more angry.
"Even Lord Tan dares to refuse General Cao's request?"
"I heard that Master Tan has a very good relationship with General Cao, and they have very close dealings. Previously, Master Dou of Hongze asked Master Tan for reinforcements, but Master Tan always refused to take action, just because of General Cao's face.
"
"So, doesn't it mean that the overall situation in Hexi has been decided?"
"It's hard to say, it just depends on what Master Dou does...otherwise, there will still be a fight."
At this moment, another soldier shouted loudly: "Hongze, Geng Qinggeng is here!"
"Hongze, Lord Qiunu is here!"
"..."
When several tribal leaders from the Hongze tribe appeared, there was another commotion in the camp.
However, Cao Peng still did not appear.
The person responsible for arranging these tribal leaders is Bu Zhi Bu Zi Shan.
Xiahou Lan led hundreds of flying horses to accompany him, and his solemn and solemn aura made everyone in the camp tremble with fear.
"General Cao cannot come to entertain the princes in person due to official business.
However, he entrusted me to say hello to all the gentlemen... The banquet has been prepared. If you need anything, just ask Jiahu Cao."
After saying that, Bu Zhe stepped forward to greet Tan Zhe and whispered a few words to him. Tan Zhe's face was full of spring breeze and he nodded repeatedly.
When leaving, Bu Zhi nodded to Geng Qing and said hello.
He also cordially asked Geng Qing’s eldest son, Geng Lin.
"My young master respects the eldest son's knowledge very much.
He told me to entertain Master Geng well... Tomorrow when we are waiting for the meeting, I will have a good drink with Master Geng."
Something is wrong with the way everyone looks at Geng Qing!
After Bu Zhi left, Qiu Nu grabbed Geng Qing's arm and said, "Old Geng, when did you get involved with General Cao?"
Geng Qing's face was red with a somewhat proud smile.
"I don't have the qualifications to talk to General Cao. It's just my dog... Haha, as you know, he likes to read. General Cao is a very famous man in the Central Plains, so he values the dog a little more."
After saying this, everyone nodded.
Qiu Nu even praised: "Old Geng, you have raised a good son."
In the past, when Geng Lin was mentioned, the tribal adults in Hongze often looked down upon him.
In their eyes, being able to write one's own name is enough, so what's the use of reading so many books? Although it is said that scholars are not useless in these days, in the land of Saibei, the status of scholars is
After all, they are not as good as those brave warriors who wield swords and guns. But now it seems that reading more books seems to be beneficial, right?
Geng Qing suddenly felt proud and proud.
The big tent was bustling with excitement, and Geng Qing became the most popular person besides Tan Zhe.
It was imperative for the imperial court to take back Hexi.
Being able to establish a good relationship with General Cao will undoubtedly be of vital use to their future lives in Hexi.
Judging from General Cao's style, it seems that he does not reject the Qiang, Huns, Xianbei, and Di people.
Otherwise, he would not have a close relationship with Tan Zhe.
Moreover, judging from his actions, it seems that he is not uniting the Han people into a group independent of Hexi as before, but is breaking up and trying to live in peace with the Hu people. People often say that the Hu people are warlike.
!But not every barbarian likes to fight and kill. If they can live a good life, who is willing to fight to the death?
Let’s see what happens tomorrow!
The Han army prepared a special "Caojia Guo", also known as shabu-shabu, for the tribal leaders attending the meeting.
Plate of mutton, cut into thin slices and brought up, rinsed in a pot and dipped in dipping sauce, it makes people salivate. This is the food culture of the Central Plains, but it is as consistent as possible with the Qiang Hu
eating habits...
While everyone was drinking wine and eating boiled meat, they unknowingly became more curious about Cao Peng.
That night, everyone enjoyed themselves and returned to their tents to rest.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Nothing happened all night, but at dawn the next day, I heard drums coming from the Hongshui Camp in the distance.
The tribal adults got dressed and walked out of the tent one after another. They gathered in groups and were about to chat when they heard someone exclaim.
"Look!"
"What happened?"
Everyone raised their hands and looked at it. This sight made people shiver.
When they came yesterday, they remembered it clearly.
The west bank of the Red Water Camp was built with simple fences. But now, the fence has disappeared! In its place, there is a towering city wall. The city wall is six feet high and about eighteen miles long, like a long dragon.
, prostrate on the bank of the Red Water River. Under the sun, the city wall is crystal clear, reflecting the colorful light and shining.
A city suddenly rose from the ground overnight and appeared in front of everyone.
What a ghost?
God's will?
Geng Qing stood in the camp, his eyes widened, and he could hardly believe what he saw. The city wall, a city wall actually appeared... It would have been fine if it had been built, but it was erected overnight.
The shock it brought to him was difficult to express in words. Could this be God blessing General Cao?
"Everyone, my general has prepared a banquet in the city and invites you to go."
Jia Xing looked at ease, as if he was not surprised.
He led the people forward to greet him and urged everyone to enter the city to discuss matters.
"Where's Master Tan?"
"Yes, why don't you see Lord Tanzhe?"
Jia Xing smiled slightly, "Master Tan went to the city last night to discuss matters with my young master, and returned to Hongsha Gang early this morning."
"ah?"
Geng Qingqiunu and others were shocked!
People say that Cao Peng and Tan Zhe have a close relationship, and it is true when they meet today.
The two of them actually met in advance, but Tan Zhe said goodbye and left in advance before the meeting was held. There are many ways in this... at least it shows that Tan Zhe and Cao Peng have reached an agreement, and both parties have obtained sufficient benefits.
.
Geng Qing's cheek twitched and he said to himself: I'm still a step too late!
However, the impact this would have on the adults of other tribes was obviously huge.
The Qiang and Hu were defeated, and the red color dispersed...
If we say that the only person in Hexi who can confront Cao Peng is Tan Zhe.
Yesterday, from everyone's attitude, it could be seen that Tan Zhe was the leader. As long as Tan Zhe can nod and everyone can unite, they can bargain with Cao Peng and strive for more benefits. Everyone has already accepted it in their hearts.
The imperial court was determined to regain the fate of Hexi, but selfishly, it still hoped to get more benefits and benefits.
It is best if you can retain your own autonomy.
Even if you can't keep it, you still have to strive for some benefits...
However, Tan Zhe reached an agreement with Cao Peng first and withdrew early.
As a result, it was like the backbone of everyone was suddenly transferred. Many people felt at a loss after hearing the news.
"Old Geng, what should I do?"
Qiu Nu came closer and asked softly.
The adults in Hongze have their own circles.
Before, everyone was led by Qiu Nu. However, as news spread of the close relationship between Geng Qing and Cao Peng, the adults in Hongze began to value Geng Qing's opinions.
After Geng Qing pondered for a long time, he said softly: "Now that things have come to this, let's take it one step at a time.
We don’t have much of a conflict with General Cao. We fought side by side in Hongshuiji. I believe General Cao will not make things too difficult for us... After all, we are all Han people, and General Cao will never treat his own people badly.
.”
In the past, Hongze people were proud of their Hongze.
Now, I am afraid that Hongze can no longer be their capital of pride, and the Han ancestry, which they had almost forgotten, has been mentioned again by them.
Qiu Nu and others nodded lightly, took a deep breath, mounted their horses and followed Jia Xing away.
As the city wall of the Red Water Camp got closer and closer, the chill that hit their faces made everyone feel frightened.
This city wall is made of ice.
It's bitterly cold in the northwest, and it doesn't seem surprising that dripping water has turned into ice recently.
But the closer they get to the city wall, the more they feel the pressure the city wall brings to them.
On the city wall, there were soldiers on duty, each with bright armor and numerous swords and guns, flashing with cold light. Under the city wall, the Han army lined up neatly, with a neat appearance. When the adults approached, the awe-inspiring murderous intent was frightening...
"My lords, please!"
Jia Xingsu bowed his hands and showed a warm smile on his face.
However, in the eyes of everyone, this smile seems so weird... (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation at ***(***.***),*
