Pang De led the Xiliang generals down the galloping road and stopped in front of Cao Peng's horse.
Behind him, Pang Ming supported the bruised Jiang Ji, with a somewhat complicated expression. It's no wonder that he and Pang De have been working for Ma Teng since they were teenagers. They have a deep relationship. But now, they have parted ways with Ma Teng.
.
Just now, Pang Ming was filled with indignation.
But after he captured Guzang, he felt a little empty, a little lonely, and a little cold...
Unlike Jiang Ji, a soldier who had just served Ma Teng, the Pang brothers still have extremely deep feelings for Guzang. This Guzang city has been named Ma for nearly 20 years. But starting from today, it no longer has the surname Ma.
Horse, and the surname should be Cao... This feeling is not particularly wonderful. So when the Pang De brothers saw Cao Peng, their expressions were a little strange.
"Well……"
Cao Peng, a little embarrassed.
But before he could react, he saw Pang De lifting his clothes and kneeling on the ground, "Sinner Pang De, I am now the aunt, and I am willing to surrender to the young master."
Jia Xing's eyes narrowed, and a flash of light flashed through his eyes.
Pound did not say that he was willing to surrender to the imperial court, nor did he say that he was willing to surrender to Cao Cao. He said that he was willing to surrender to Cao Peng, and he directly addressed him as "gongzi". To a certain extent, that is to say, he just surrendered to Cao Peng.
, not surrendered to the imperial court. In other words, from this moment on, Pound will be shown to others as Cao Peng's retainer...
Youxue, I’m afraid this is the result you hoped for!
There was a hint of smile on Jia Xing's face.
Only he knew how much Cao Peng had spent on Pang De.
Two captures and two moves, and finally a strong man was obtained... No matter how you look at this account, Cao Peng got an advantage and got a big advantage.
Cao Peng quickly dismounted and helped Pang De, Pang Ming and others up.
"It is indeed Cao's good fortune to have your order revealed now."
As he spoke, he took off his white fur cloak and put it on Pound himself. This was also the second time that Cao Peng took off his coat as a gift!
This single action made Pound extremely grateful.
Unable to hold back, he burst into tears and said, "Young Master values Pound so much and is so lucky to Pound, how dare you refuse to die?"
Cao Peng laughed and stepped forward to give Pound a bear hug. He didn't care about the blood on Pound's body, which was stained on his white robe. This action made many generals envious of him! They knew that Pound would never do it again.
, must be Cao Peng's confidant.
"Anping, if it weren't for you now, I would have almost lost a warrior."
Cao Peng turned around, looked at Pang Ming, and suddenly turned his head and said: "Wang Shuang, take a white camel and give it to Anping."
Pang Ming was startled and suddenly overjoyed.
He already knew the meaning of the white camel.
The white camel soldiers are Cao Peng's bodyguards. In other words, from now on, his brother no longer has to worry about his future.
"what's your name?"
Cao Peng looked at the bruised Jiang Ji and asked in a deep voice.
"The last general, Jiang Ji, is from Tianshui County and has met Grand Administrator Cao."
"Jiang Jiong?" Cao Peng scratched his head and thought to himself, this name is so embarrassing. However, he still praised: "Today someone got a girl, the general should be the first to do it. I wonder what you have in mind? If you can put it forward, I can do it."
Do it and never refuse.”
Jiang Ji was startled, hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "I would like to serve as the vanguard of General Anping."
"ah?"
Cao Peng never expected that Jiang Jiong would actually make such a request, which made him a little surprised. He looked at Pang Ming and immediately smiled: "What's so difficult about this... Since you are willing to work for Anping, I agree!
Wang Shuang, take another white camel and give it to Jiang Jiong. By the way, are you from Tianshui County? If you are willing, you can have your family resettled in Hexi."
Cao Peng means well.
In his opinion, this Jiang Jiong must be a person with little foundation, and his family may not be well off.
Being placed in Hexi can also provide some care. After all, Tianshui County is not under Cao Peng's jurisdiction, so it is difficult to take too much care of him.
Jiang Ji hurriedly said: "The general's parents are no longer here, and now his wife and children are all in Guzang."
"Uh? Jiang Ji has a wife and a child? How old is the child?"
"The puppy was named Wei when he was two years old."
"Uh, Jiang Wei...haha, what a good name."
As Cao Peng spoke, he glanced at the others. However, his heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he suddenly turned his head and glanced at Jiang Ji.
Jiang Wei?
Could it be that he is the bold general?
Cao Peng was confused. But he did remember that Jiang Wei seemed to be from Tianshui County... But according to records, he lost his father when he was young. Could it be said that Jiang Jiong is Jiang Wei's father? It can't be such a coincidence! He has an aunt.
Zang, after subduing the Pang De brothers, he also wants to hook up with a future famous Shu Han general? Interesting, really interesting... From now on, we need to pay more attention to this Jiang Jiong. Jiang Wei, what a talent! I hope to get two of them
It's the same person!
No matter what achievements Jiang Wei will have in the future, right now, he is still just a two-year-old kid.
Even if he becomes more powerful in the future, he doesn't understand anything now. You can pay attention to him, but he doesn't deserve too much attention from Cao Peng.
God knows what will happen next.
Maybe in this future development, it won't be Jiang Wei's turn to establish his achievements at all.
After Cao Peng appeased the Xiliang generals one by one, he then ordered not to disturb the people of Guzang, to rectify military discipline, and to recruit and surrender soldiers.
Then, led by the generals, he came to Guzang County.
Ma Teng's residence in the past was now controlled by the White Camel Soldiers. Cao Peng ordered not to disturb Ma Teng's family. Therefore, although there were traces of rebels everywhere in Guzang City, the county's mansion seemed particularly peaceful.
Not messy at all.
Mrs. Fei, together with the whole Ma family, gathered in a courtyard.
When Cao Peng walked in, Fei and others showed panic and fear.
Looking at a group of old and weak women and children, Cao Peng really had no intention of embarrassing them. But just when he was about to turn around and leave, a girl suddenly rushed out from the group of women and children, holding a sharp knife, and fiercely rushed towards Cao Peng.
Fortunately, Cao Peng was very skilled. When the girl rushed out, he felt the danger.
His feet slipped, and his body suddenly dwarfed. The sharp blade in the girl's hand grazed her body... Immediately afterwards, Cao Peng's figure suddenly retreated, and he leaned back fiercely. Suddenly, the girl was pushed back by Cao Peng's fierce force.
, and flew out directly.
Before she could stand up, Wang Shuang stepped forward and held her down.
Cao Peng frowned and turned to look at Fei and the others. The killing intent flashing in his eyes made Fei's face turn pale.
"who is she?"
"A dog thief invaded my home and harmed my family... I just hate that I am a girl and cannot kill you with my own hands."
Fei was so frightened that she couldn't speak. The girl raised her head stubbornly and cursed loudly at Cao Peng.
Cao Peng looked at the girl carefully, but found that the girl had a very obvious appearance of mixed Qiang and Han descent.
Most Qiang women have petite faces, and their facial features appear very delicate.
Moreover, the Qiang girl's skin is fair and soft. Cao Peng thinks that the girl's face is somewhat similar to Ma Chao's. However, compared to Ma Chao's sharp-edged and masculine appearance, the girl has more of a...
Delicate beauty.
"General Cao, you are a general of the imperial court and a famous figure today.
The dispute between you and Xiliang is your men's business and has nothing to do with us. Wenlu is young and doesn't know right from wrong, so he asked the general to use a lot of force to disturb her life. I promise, she will not cause you any more trouble. What trouble..."
A young woman walked out from behind Fei.
She looked to be about twenty years old and very beautiful.
Cao Peng was stunned, "Who are you?"
"My husband is Ma Chao."
Ma Chao’s wife?
Cao Peng is really not very impressed...
Anyway, in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, there doesn’t seem to be much emphasis on who Ma Chao’s wife was. However, there is a saying that after the failure of the Xiliang rebellion, Ma Chao’s wife and children were slaughtered. In other words, at this time, Ma Chao already had However, he failed to escape and could not take his wife and children away. Later, he first sought refuge with Zhang Lu. Zhang Lu had intended to marry his daughter to Ma Chao, but was dissuaded and failed to do so. When Ma Chao was in Hanzhong, he married again. A concubine named Dong. However, after Ma Chao surrendered to Liu Bei, Dong and Ma Chao's son Ma Qiu stayed in Hanzhong.
After Cao Cao captured Hanzhong, Dong was rewarded by Cao Cao with Yan Pu.
Ma Chao's son Ma Qiu was handed over to Zhang Lu, and was later killed by Zhang Lu himself...
This sounds cruel.
When many people read the Three Kingdoms, they will like the passionate pride and the iron horse fighting, but not many people pay attention to the cruelty and bloodshed hidden under the pride. After Ma Chao surrendered to Liu Bei, he was not allowed to reuse him. Gein He was so ambitious that Liu Bei was afraid of him, so he kept him in cold storage. In the novel, after Ma Chao surrendered to Liu Bei, he almost never appeared again. Even veteran generals like Huang Zhong were better than Ma Chao.
Ma Chao got married again in Xichuan. His wife was unlucky, but he had a son and a daughter.
His son, named Ma Cheng, inherited Ma Chao's title; his daughter, Ma, married Liu Bei's son, Liu Li, King of Anping.
The woman in front of me has a very delicate appearance.
Those flashing eyes revealed an incongruous shrewdness.
"Mrs. Ma?"
"My surname is Yang!"
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, a woman could keep her original surname after getting married, instead of having to impose her husband's surname before her own surname as was the case later.
"Mrs. Yang!"
"Exactly!"
Cao Peng took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "You are right, the dispute between Ma Teng and I should not involve you women. But since you married into the Ma family, you should know what kind of consequences you have to endure. I won't embarrass you, but that doesn't mean that I will let you be humiliated. That woman, are you Ma Teng's daughter? Right?"
"snort!"
Ma Wenlu raised his head and looked at Cao Peng without any fear.
"Miss Ma, don't cause trouble for you, and don't cause trouble for these people.
I don’t have to argue with you about what happened just now. But remember, from now on, you and your family are prisoners. Put away your eldest lady’s temper... Otherwise, don’t blame me for being cruel...
Although I have read the books of sages, I will not do that thing of raising tigers to make trouble.
Mrs. Fei, Mrs. Yang... Although you will lose your freedom here, I will keep you safe... So, please be honest and take good care of this young lady. Next time, I will put you in a dilemma of life and death. "
There was an evil spirit in Cao Peng's words.
Although Ma Wenlu was stubborn, he could feel that Cao Peng was not joking.
After Cao Peng glanced at her, he shook his head with a smile, waved his hand to Wang Shuang to let her go, and then walked out of the courtyard.
"Thank you, sir. Please be merciful."
Pound was outside the courtyard, bowing to thank him.
Cao Peng smiled and said, "As a grown man, how can I really wrong these women?"
After everyone arrived in the hall, Cao Peng motioned for everyone to sit down.
"Although it is a good thing to go to Guzang today, it also spoils my original plan.
I originally planned to surround Gu Zang without attacking, lure Ma Teng to come to the rescue, and then defeat it in one fell swoop. But now... However, it is not a big deal. I will rush to Cangsong immediately to discuss the response with Shi Yuan
The policy is to leave all matters in Guzang to Hui Zang. Now that Guzang is in my hands, the counties of Wuwei cannot let it go.
I want to put an end to the Wuwei rebellion as soon as possible, but I wonder if you guys have any good ideas?"
Brothers Pang De and Pang Ming looked at each other...
Unexpectedly, his brother's impulsiveness actually ruined Cao Peng's plan. However, Cao Peng's generosity also made the two brothers extremely grateful. He talked about the matter lightly, without any intention of blaming him. Pang De thought for a while
, glanced at Pang Ming, gritted his teeth and stood up, saluted Cao Peng and said: "I didn't expect that my brother was reckless and ruined the master's plan... Although the master is not blamed, Pang De feels guilty. I wish to take advantage of him.
Redeem your past mistakes and smooth over your martial prowess for the young master."
"oh?"
"Two brothers, with only 800 soldiers, can conquer the four counties of Wuwei.
As for the Western Qiang in the capital, they are nothing more than a mob... After my brother settled the four counties of Wuwei, he went straight to the capital and took the heads of Yue Ji Xiang."
When Cao Peng heard this, his eyes narrowed into a straight line.
He pretended not to see him, and Jia Xing winked at him, nodded with a smile and said: "Since Ling Ming has taken action, his military power can be determined, so I don't need to worry... retreat, please order two thousand men and horses with Ling Ming, I will be there
Green pines, waiting for good news."
In Jia Xing's heart, she was still somewhat reluctant.
After all, the Pound brothers had just come over to join the army, so they were left to lead the army alone, which made them a little worried...
But since Cao Peng said so, he had no choice but to stand up and say, "I'll go make arrangements for General Pang right now."
Pound was very excited.
He didn't do it for anything else, just for Cao Peng's trust.
Standing up and holding his hands, Pang De said loudly: "If we cannot defeat the four counties within ten days, Pang is willing to come to see you with his head."
Cao Peng laughed and said, "If Mingxiu wants to do this, I believe you!"
The words "I believe in you" made Pound completely return to his heart, and he no longer had any other thoughts.
On the same day, Cao Peng ordered 300 white camel soldiers and 100 flying men to leave Guzang and rush to Cangsong County. On the same day, Pang De led 2,000 troops and horses to set off from Guzang and attack overnight in the direction of Luanniao County.
…
In the night, Jia Xing stood at the head of Guzang City, watching the Pang De brothers leading their troops away, feeling a little worried!
I really don’t know why Youxue has such confidence in Pang Lingming?
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

At the end of March in the ninth year of Jian'an, Guzang was acquired by Cao Peng.
Hearing that Gu Zang was missing, Ma Teng quickly ordered the candidate Cheng Yin to stop the aid to Wuwei County, and sent the two men back to their residence to garrison.
In early April, nine days after Guzang was captured, Luanniao, Fanhe and other four counties, under the coercion of Pang De, surrendered their entire city. Then Pang De led his troops to Du Ye...but he didn't wait for him.
When we arrived at Xiutuze, we received good news.
Tang Ti led his troops to surrender. After learning about it, Yue Ji took a group of his own troops and fled Xiutuze overnight, heading towards Zhangye...
