Chapter 506 A real man should be happy with his grudges (2/4)
The second update is here, please give me a recommendation vote!
————————————————————————
Wei Liangzhou?
Perhaps in Cao Peng's heart, Wei Duan was a fake Liangzhou. Putting aside personal grudges, this Liangzhou governor who, for personal gain, sold embargoed materials to the two Qiang, created conflicts between Hehuang and caused Liangzhou to be in chaos, was simply not the governor of Liangzhou.
He is not worthy of being the governor of Liangzhou. When the enemy army comes to the city, he flees first and throws away his own foundation. What kind of Wei Liangzhou is that?
To be honest, Wei Duan has been serving as the governor of Liangzhou for ten years since the Xingping period.
But in these ten years, his contribution to Liangzhou was not even comparable to that of Han Sui and Ma Teng. At least under the governance of Han Sui and Ma Teng, the two counties of Wuwei and Jincheng basically guaranteed a peaceful situation. Although the population is
There was no significant growth, but they were able to live and work in peace and contentment. They also got along quite well with foreign races, and there were no major riots.
On the contrary, Longxi County under Wei Duan's rule was deteriorating year by year.
During the Zhongping period, when Dong Zhuo became the governor of Liangzhou, the total population of the eleven counties in Longxi was nearly 400,000. Among them, the population of Heguan, Daxia, and Paohan exceeded 100,000. By the ninth year of Jian'an, the total population of Longxi was less than 20
Wan. The total population of the three areas of Heguan and Daxia Paohan is less than 30,000, which is a full two-thirds reduction compared to Dong Zhuo's period.
How can such a Liangzhou governor convince people?
If Wei Duan hadn't come from a wealthy family in Guanzhong, and if he hadn't gathered a group of capable officials under him, Liangzhou would have been in ruins long ago. Fortunately, Wei Duan was smart enough to retain Yang Fu, Zhao Qu and others, which kept Hanyang stable.
In fact, Cao Peng didn't know how many of Wei Duan's men he had poached.
Yin Feng, Liang Kuan, Jiang Xu and Zhao Ang who are currently serving under him are all members of Wei Kang, the son of Wei Duan. Historically, after Wei Kang was killed by Ma Chao, it was Yin Feng, Liang Kuan, Jiang Xu and Zhao Ang who joined forces with Yang Fu.
, plus Wang Ling, Kong Xin, Zhao Qu and others, defeated Ma Chao and fled. Among them, Zhao Ang even made great achievements by retreating the enemy with nine strategies when Ma Chao counterattacked Liangzhou for the second time. However, no matter what,
None of this could make Cao Peng lessen his hatred for Wei Kang.
But on the surface, Cao Peng still followed etiquette.
He behaved very respectfully and led everyone out of Shiliting Pavilion to welcome Wei Duan and his son.
Seeing Cao Peng like this, Wei Duan's inner uneasiness was somewhat relieved, and his words inadvertently showed the arrogance of a child of aristocratic family, just like a superior looking at his subordinates, which made many people feel dissatisfied.
Pang De suppressed his anger and couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
Pang Tong stood aside with a smile on his face and said nothing...
As for Cao Peng, he seemed completely unaware and still looked respectful.
Wei Kang suddenly felt an ominous omen in his heart. He felt that his father had gone too far! However, the reactions of Cao Peng and others were too calm.
Who is Cao Peng?
Maybe Wei Duan didn't pay attention, but Wei Kang did.
As a nail placed by Cao Cao in Liangzhou, and also a well-known celebrity in the Central Plains, how could Wei Kang be underestimated?
According to his understanding of Cao Peng, he was also a man of temperament!
There is a sense of arrogance in his bones, and he is definitely not the kind of master who can swallow his anger.
When he was in Xudu, Cao Peng was the captain of the Yue Cavalry School and the Sima of the palace. He also killed Yan Liang and Wen Chou in Yanjin, captured Gao Lan and Zhang He, covered the retreat of the Jujube people, protected Cao Cao's life, and defeated Yuan Shao again...
The series of meritorious deeds made great contributions to Cao Cao's comprehensive arrangements in Guandu, and he has a bright future.
But because of the fact that Fu Jun jumped on his horse and injured Cao Nan, this person tried his best to give up his future, broke into the mansion of the general of the state, beheaded several people, and even looked at Fu Wan's hand, making him disabled and unable to serve in the court.
How could such a person swallow his anger? The calmer he appeared now, the more Wei Kang felt on tenterhooks... He wanted to remind Wei Kang, but was inadvertently put aside by Pang De and Pang Ming.
He and Wei Duan were separated.
Logically speaking, Wei Kang should follow Wei Duan closely.
But now, Wei Duan was walking in the front, and Cao Peng was half a body behind.
Pang Ming and Pang De brothers, as Cao Peng's tooth generals, followed Cao Peng. Both of them were burly and strong men, and they blocked Wei Kang tightly. Wei Kang did not notice,
When he followed Wei Duan into the city, his followers were quietly surrounded by Cao's army. In fact, he and his son were alone.
Han De led his men and quietly separated the retinue of Wei Duan and his son.
Unaware, Wei Duan followed Cao Peng into Didao City Gate and went straight to Zhouli.
Along the way, I saw Didao in an orderly manner, without any of the chaos after the war... However, most of the merchants on both sides of the long street had their doors closed. Wei Duan could feel relieved... After all, the war was over, and business had to be normal.
It took time. So, he didn't care. However, Wei Kang noticed that the road was too deserted. Except for the patrols standing ready, there was basically no pedestrian. This was not a welcoming scene, it was more like facing a formidable enemy.
.
Seeing that Wei Duan had arrived at Zhoushe, he was ready to go in.
Wei Kang couldn't bear it anymore and took two steps quickly, wanting to call out to remind Wei Duan to pay attention.
Unexpectedly, before he could speak, he felt a golden wind blowing from behind. Suddenly, he was hit hard on the back of his head, and a big hand immediately covered his mouth. Wei Kang's vision went dark and he fell into coma.
Unawake. Jiang Ji waved his hand, and two white camel soldiers came forward and held Wei Kang in check. At the same time, Han De waved his hand to Cao Jun on both sides, and Cao Jun rushed up with a roar, and surrounded Wei Duan's retinue. There were several in the middle.
The famous servant wanted to resist, but Cao Jun stepped forward and cut his body into pieces with random swords. The shrill screams alarmed Wei Duan, and he couldn't help but be shocked...
One foot had already crossed the threshold, and he was about to take it back when he turned around and waited.
Unexpectedly, Cao Peng reached out and grabbed Wei Duan's arm, "Wei Liangzhou, you're already home, why can't you come in?"
"you……"
Wei Duan was shocked and turned pale. Just when he was about to scold Cao Peng, he felt a huge force pulling his body forward.
Wei Duan thumped, staggered, and fell into the state gate.
His foot missed the mark and he fell to the ground with a bang. The Jinxian crown on his head rolled on the ground, and his clothes were torn. His nose happened to hit a stone, and Wei was in pain.
Duan had tears streaming down his face and blood coming out of his nose. He screamed, covered his face and got up, wanting to yell at Cao Peng.
But when he saw the scenery in the courtyard clearly, he swallowed back the words that came to his lips.
I saw that the front hall of the state house was shrouded in a solemn and solemn atmosphere. On the trees planted on both sides of the courtyard, white silk silk was hung, flying in the wind. In the two verandas, there are three steps and one post.
At five steps and one sentry post, all the soldiers were wearing sackcloth and mourning. And on the door frame of the front hall directly opposite the door, there were also two white silk hangings. Standing at the gate of the state house, you can see the decorations in the front hall.
On Zhangxiang's desk, burning for help, there is a black spiritual tablet.
Bang!
There was a loud noise, and the gate of the state house was closed.
"The prince worships and the ceremony begins."
"Cao Peng, what are you doing?"
Before Wei Duan finished speaking, he saw a young man rushing out from the side. Without saying a word, he kicked him and knocked Wei Duan to the ground. Two white camel soldiers stepped forward and disrupted Wei Duan with one slap.
The governor of Liangzhou, who was showing off his power just now, now has disheveled hair and looks miserable, like a bereaved dog.
Pang Ming stepped forward and took off Cao Peng's black robe, revealing his filial piety.
A tooth soldier came over with a white silk ribbon in his hand, wrapped it around Cao Peng's forehead, and then put on a white linen garment.
Cao Peng ignored Wei Duan and strode forward.
The two white camel soldiers immediately retreated to the side. Before Wei Duan could stand up, Cao Peng reached out and grabbed Wei Duan's hair. After holding it in his hand, Cao Peng strode towards the mourning hall with Wei Duan.
"When guests offer sacrifices, a filial son should pay homage."
In the front hall, there is a brazier.
Wang Mai is kneeling next to the brazier...
When Cao Peng led Wei Duan, who was crying like a ghost and howling like a wolf, into the lobby, Wang bowed to the ground and bowed.
"Uncle Meng, my nephew is here to avenge you!"
"Cao Youxue, do you want to rebel?"
Cao Peng let go of Wei Duan's hair and slapped him with his backhand.
This slap was so loud that Wei Duan staggered a few steps and sat down on the ground. There was a buzzing next to his ears and his head was numb. Half of his face suddenly swelled like a steamed bun.
, the back molars were also beaten out. Wei Duan spat out a mouthful of blood, sat on the ground with disheveled hair, and glanced up at the spiritual tablet.
The powerful position of the prince.
Wang Meng?
Wei Duan shivered with excitement, raised his head and looked at Cao Peng in shock.
"You understand now?"
Cao Peng's face showed murderous intent and he gritted his teeth.
"Wei Duan, it's your fault for calling yourself the governor of Liangzhou.
My uncle guarded the gate for you, but for your own selfish interests, you ignored the country and refused to save you... If Shi Tao hadn't survived, I would have almost let you go. Today, I will kill you in front of my uncle's soul.
My body was cut into thousands of pieces to avenge my country and my uncle."
"Master Cao, don't make any mistakes!"
At this time, Wei Kang woke up.
He was thrown into the lobby by the white camel soldiers. When he looked up and saw the spiritual tablet, he immediately understood.
He shouted loudly: "My father was appointed the governor of Liangzhou by the imperial court, and he was a member of Wanshi... If you kill my father, you will be implicated. How about this, spare the lives of my father and son, and we can withdraw from Liangzhou.
From now on?"
"Bah, don't ruin the word seclusion.
People like you and your son are the real ***. The country supports you and gives you high officials and generous salaries. You don't want to serve the country, but you collude with the Qiang thieves and harm the loyal. Those who hide from the world are virtuous! They are like my teacher Mr. Kong Ming.
, Living in a temple and worrying about the people, living far away in the rivers and lakes, worrying about the king, this is the real seclusion. And you, father and son, are trying to gain fame and reputation, and you are a fool!"
After Cao Peng finished speaking, he shouted sharply: "Get the knife."
Without saying a word, Jiang Ji strode forward with a sharp knife in hand.
Cao Peng reached out to take the knife and grabbed Wei Duan's collar...
Wei Duan was also panic-stricken at this time. He no longer had any manners as a governor, and shouted loudly: "Cao Peng, if you kill me, there will be great disaster."
Cao Peng laughed heartily and said, "If a man can't be happy with his grudges, he will come to this world in vain.
I will kill you today just to avenge my uncle... If the court punishes you, I will shoulder the responsibility myself, and there will be no regrets in dying."
Saying that, Cao Peng raised his hand and raised his sharp knife!
