505 Willing to Be a Pawn (1/4)

Chapter 505 Willing to be a pawn (1/4)

It’s Monday today, please vote for recommendations and ***.

The fourth update of the old and new clubs is presented. Brothers, please support me more...

Volume three is coming to an end, and volume four is about to begin. Anyway, this volume is quite satisfactory to both veterans and newcomers.

————————————————————————————

The snow has stopped.

But the wind didn’t stop...

The wind was not strong, and it swept over the snowfield, turning up swirling whirlpools of snow that soon dissipated without a trace.

Cao Peng stood in Shiliting Pavilion with his hands folded, his expression looking peaceful and peaceful. At least there was no trace of joy, anger, sorrow or joy on his face, everything was so peaceful. Only his eyes that kept flashing showed what was going on in his heart.

of agitation.

The wind passed by, lifting the black robe on his body and moving it huntingly.

Cao Peng said nothing, standing there quietly, seemingly respectful, but it made people feel a turbulent momentum.

Pang Tong stood behind him and sighed softly.

You Xue seems to have made up his mind!

Pang Tong came in a hurry on the fourth day after the Battle of Didao.

Originally, he and Xu Shu planned to let Cao Peng hold on for ten days, and then go to Didao for rescue after his troops were reorganized. After all, Cao's army fought all the way from Xiliang, and although they did not experience any fierce battles, they marched non-stop, day and night.

When the army arrived at Yunwu, the soldiers were exhausted. This fatigue was not only physical, but also mental... Even if they knew they had won, no one dared to relax their vigilance until it was confirmed.

The ten-day journey lasted less than five days, and it was so tiring.

Unexpectedly, Cao Peng actually won!

Moreover, the victory was clean and neat, and the victory was extremely beautiful.

With thousands of people, the victory over 30,000 Xiliang soldiers was a miracle. When Xu Shu learned the news, he was also shocked. He originally wanted to come, but Yunwu had too many affairs and was too complicated to tolerate it.

Xu Shu pulled away.

Feiwo was very smart. After learning about Didao's victory, he completely let go and handed Yunwu over to Xu Shu.

He is now sitting at home, waiting for the order to go to Zhangye to take up his post... At the same time, he recalled Fei Long from Luodu Valley with thousands of warnings and tens of thousands of instructions. Xu Shu couldn't get out, so he had to ask Pang Tongyi to come. After all, he was dealing with it.

In terms of government affairs, Pang Tong was also quite talented and knowledgeable, which was enough to make Cao Peng relaxed. However, Pang Tong did not expect...

The dispute a few days ago was also the most intense dispute since Pang Tong and Cao Peng met.

When Cao Peng learned that there was another reason for Wang Meng's death, he was furious. At this time, news came from Lintao that Gan Ning had recaptured Lintao County and Wang Mai was not dead, which made Cao Peng somewhat calm.

Come down.

"Youxue, don't be impulsive!"

Pang Tong persuaded Cao Peng: "Now that you have finally established a great foundation, if you are impulsive at this time, you will probably lose all your achievements. Once you are not in Liangzhou, who can take on such a big scene? Those plans you have made, all the preparations you have made,

Who can execute it properly? Youxue, you must not throw away a great opportunity just because of impulse."

Under the light, Cao Peng spread some knife powder on the steel knife and then wiped it carefully.

After a while, he raised his head and asked in a deep voice: "Shi Yuan, why do you think I did all this?"

"ah?"

"For glory and wealth?"

Cao Peng smiled and showed disdain, "My current situation is more than just glory and wealth. In the past few years, my income in Haixi has amounted to hundreds of millions of gold. If it is just for glory and wealth, why should I throw all that money to Hexi?

?

I stay home and enjoy the fruits of my labor.

You can earn 100,000 yuan a month from the silver house alone, so why bother living in Hexi for two years of bitter cold and hard work?"

As he spoke, he stood up and sheathed the steel knife.

"I once thought that I had a heart for heaven and earth, a destiny for the living people, a continuation of my unique knowledge for the saints, and peace for all generations... I wanted to end this troubled world as soon as possible, but I found that my power was too meager. If I told

You, this war will last for a long time, even a hundred years. What will it be like when there is no one left in the Central Plains, and foreign tribes drive straight in? Sometimes, I dare not think... We keep scheming, but in the end it is ourselves who are scheming.

.We think we are very smart, but in fact? The stupidest people are those of us..."

Pang Tong was stunned!

He didn't quite understand what Cao Peng meant.

Cao Peng turned around and sat down, and said in a deep voice: "If we want to put an end to this troubled world as soon as possible, we must deal with those gangsters as soon as possible.

This is not something you can achieve by just sitting in one city and one place.

The general trend of the world today has become clear. Since Dong Zhuo, there have been countless heroes who have joined forces across states and counties. To Yuan Shao, Duke Cao was a little famous, but he was able to defeat Shao. Now the people are harmonious. Now Duke Cao is sitting on the river

To the south of the river, capture the north of the river, station troops in Guanzhong, seize Liangzhou, and unify the north. No one can stop it...

Cao Gong obeyed the emperor's orders and refused to submit. He had a reputation for righteousness, and no one could compete with him.

Sun Quan lived in the east of the Yangtze River, the land of three generations. There were big rivers and natural chasms, and there were talented people who could use them, so he could slowly plan for them... However, in the end, he was settled in a corner and would be destroyed sooner or later, making it difficult to achieve anything. When Cao Gong decides to conquer the north, he will definitely step on Jingxiang.

If Cao Gong gets the land of Jingxiang and the Han River in the north, and the benefits of the South China Sea, Wuhui in the east and Bashu in the west, he can pacify the country in one fell swoop. This great lord of the world will surely accomplish great things. Liu Zhang, Zhang Lu,

Sitting in the land of Tianfu, the people are prosperous and the country is rich, but it is not enough to maintain it. I have a strategy that can make the land of Tianfu full of mourners, and they will surrender sooner or later. The only variable is Liu Bei who lives in Jingzhou. This man is also a hero, but he has a pity for gold.

Is Lin just a thing in the pond? It is difficult to become a dragon without encountering wind and cloud...

I am not as talented as Cao Gong; I am not as persevering as Liu Bei; I am not as kind as Sun Quan.

If you force yourself to become a prince, the result will be...

What I wish for is to end the war in the Central Plains as soon as possible and leave some vitality for the world; I would like to stay in the northern border forever to serve as a barrier for me in the Central Plains. A man should show his power outside the territory and establish meritorious deeds. I really don’t want to continue to consume the vitality of Kyushu

."

Pang Tong was stunned.

This was also the first time that Cao Peng opened his mind and told outsiders about his ideals.

Pang Tong was a little disappointed, but also a little shocked.

Not for anything else, just because of Cao Peng's words... Pang Tong has always hoped to assist Cao Peng in establishing achievements, but what kind of achievements are he to establish? Even he himself can't explain clearly. To establish a heart for heaven and earth, and to make a living.

The people establish a mandate to carry forward the unique knowledge for the saints and create peace for all generations. This may sound beautiful, but it is just an empty statement.

In fact, isn't this what Chinese people like the most?

Empty slogans have cost the lives of many passionate young people.

It wasn't until one day that a great man told the truth that "political power comes from the barrel of a gun", and he pointed out a clear way.

What is eternal merit?

How to establish a mind for heaven and earth? How to establish a destiny for the living people? How to carry on the unique learning for the saints? How to create peace for all generations?

At this time, Pang Tong seemed to have some enlightenment.

Cao Peng is very clear about his own position, he is not a hero!

What he is willing to do is to preserve some vitality for the land of Jiuzhou... If you think about it carefully, Cao Peng has made great achievements since becoming an official, but how many of them have actually participated in the war? He is more focused on promoting farming and opening businesses. The road has made the people live and work in peace and contentment; it is said that he has learned a lot, but to this day, he has not left many classics.

The few articles Cao Peng wrote were just to show his integrity...

And several of his works that can be called classics, whether it is the Thousand-Character Essay or the Three-Character Classic... Cao Sanpian's name is certainly resounding, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that his articles are all about how to open up people's wisdom and educate people. It’s about talents, not writing books and establishing opinions for the sake of being famous in history.

Cao Peng is unwilling to conquer the world, which is disappointing...

But at this moment, Pang Tong suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of relief.

At least, he is a down-to-earth person who works seriously and is not the kind of person who talks about morality and boasts.

Although he cannot assist a hero, he can be his lifelong confidant.

People often say that if you have a close friend, you will die without regrets.

Pang Tong felt that he had found a confidant who could entrust him with what he had learned throughout his life.

You can obviously seize the world, but for the sake of the common people, you give up the imperial hegemony. How courageous and ambitious is it?

After a long time, Pang Tong stood up and bowed to the ground, saying, "I am happy and sad to learn from you as a friend.

However, it is good that Youxue does not want to let the vitality of Kyushu be exhausted, but he also asks Youxue to make more preparations for his death.

Pang Tong is not talented, but he is willing to work with his virtuous brother to gain fame outside the country and establish unparalleled achievements.

But regardless of whether Youxue agrees or not, Liangzhou is always the foundation of Youxue. In Hexi, Wuwei is particularly important. If my brother is determined to do this, Pang Tong will ask him to be the governor of Hexi and the governor of Wuwei in Juzishan to protect this great foundation in the northwest for my brother..."

Pang Tong had always followed Cao Peng and had no desires or pursuits.

He never asked Cao Peng for any official position. Most of the positions he held were given by Cao Peng on his own initiative.

But now, he actively seeks an official position.

His intention was very clear, that is, Hexi and Wuwei counties must not be allowed to fall into the hands of others. Cao Peng looked at Pang Tong in shock. He had even done it. After Pang Tong heard what he said, he let go and left. preparation.

However, Pang Tong stayed.

With Pang Tong's talents, it is not difficult to become the governor of a county.

And Hexi County is just a lower county. Its geographical location and area determine that Hexi County's status will not be too high.

Pang Tong's willingness to stay has shown his sincerity...

Cao Peng couldn't help but be overjoyed. He wrote a memorial that day and ordered someone to rush six hundred miles to send it to Xudu and report it to the Shangshu Mansion.

Basically, most of the people recommended by Cao Peng were recognized by Xun Yu.

Pang Tong came from a well-known family, and he had a lot of contacts with Xun Yu when he was in Xudu, so the difficulty was not too great. Bu Zhao was even easier... He served as Hailing Wei, Haixi Ling, and presided over Haixi Tuntian , with outstanding political achievements. Originally, Cao Cao wanted to transfer him over to serve as Sikong Cicao, which was also a very prominent position.

But Bu Zhao came to Hexi.

If he is appointed as the prefect of Wuwei, Cao Cao will not have many objections.

Regardless of the outcome, these two people can continue Cao Peng's plan very well, and they are definitely the best candidates...

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

"Master, Wei Duan is here!"

Pang De's voice awakened Cao Peng from his deep thoughts.

He raised his head and looked into the distance, with a flash of coldness in his eyes, and suddenly said: "Let's go, follow me to meet Wei Liangzhou."
