Chapter 513 The man should be like this (six thousand words, ask the moon
Chapter 513 This is what a real man should be like (6,000 words, please vote for me!)
What is supposed to come will eventually come!
Cao Peng had already been mentally prepared, so he was not surprised. Instead, he felt relaxed in his heart.
Are you going home?
"Can Wei Zhang explain what crime Sikong wants to punish me for?"
Cao Peng's wording is very different from Pound's.
In Pang De's words, he was sent by the imperial court, but in Cao Peng's words, he was punished by Sikong. The two don't sound very different, but there is a huge difference. Cao Peng clearly meant: If it is
The Emperor of the Han Dynasty wanted to punish me for my crime, but I firmly refused to admit it; but if it was Cao Cao's order, he could obey Cao Cao's order.
It's just that Pound couldn't understand this distinction in wording.
"Weizhang didn't explain this."
"Well!"
Cao Peng smiled and waved his hand, "I understand! Ling Ming, two hundred white camels will be sent from the Western Regions in two days. You ask Jiang Ji and Pang Ming to receive them. White camel soldiers and flying camel soldiers should be supplemented.
Supplement, it’s time to take a rest, we should go back in a while... Also, don’t spread this matter, wait until the imperial envoys arrive.”
"Here!"
Cao Peng's calm demeanor made Pound feel much more at ease.
He bowed and saluted, then turned around and strode away.
Cao Peng was about to clean up when he looked up and saw Buluan and the other three with worried faces.
"You all heard it!"
"Um!"
Bu Luan and Zhen Mi's eyes were flashing with tears.
From their point of view, Cao Peng's return would be a disaster.
Guo Huan, on the other hand, looked much stronger, but he bit his lip and said softly: "Husband, it's unfair for Sikong to be like this!"
"nonsense!"
Cao Peng shouted sharply, "What do women know?
It is a capital crime for me to kill a high official of the imperial court and the governor of a state without permission. Sikong asked me to go back, and I am willing to do so. How can you make rash comments? Okay, stop talking nonsense, go back and clean up, maybe in less than half a month,
We are about to return to Xudu... Hehe, Xiaoluan, Xiaohuan, haven't you been saying that the northwest is too bitter and cold?"
"But……"
Bu Luan was still about to say something, but Cao Peng's eyes widened and he swallowed the words on his lips.
Back home!
Although they had been looking forward to going home, going back in this way was not the outcome they hoped for.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Although Cao Peng tried his best to hide the news, there is no airtight wall in this world.
I don’t know who leaked the news. The news that the imperial court sent people to arrest Cao Peng soon spread throughout Liangzhou...
Bu Zhao was the first to come and ask, but was severely scolded by Cao Peng and sent back.
"Now that spring plowing has just begun, why don't you pay attention to people's livelihood and come here to make a lot of noise?
It needs to be known that the plan for the year lies in spring, and this spring plowing is related to the hope of the people and is the basis for their survival. Wuwei has gone through wars and is in decline, and it can no longer withstand the torment. Your current task is to develop people's livelihood well and develop the people's livelihood as soon as possible.
Su Zeshi, Tao and Pang Tong came up with a charter to restore the trade routes in the Western Regions and prosper the northwest...Don't interfere in other matters."
"But……"
Cao Peng waved his hand, interrupting Bu Zhi's words.
He asked Zhen Mi to fetch a pamphlet and handed it to Bu Zhi.
"These are some regulations I came up with earlier. I originally wanted to wait for Liangzhou to stabilize and promote it in Hexi and Wuwei.
But now it seems that it may not be possible!
No matter who the new governor of Liangzhou is, I want you and Shiyuan to start as soon as possible and start promoting and implementing it in the coming year. I have already sent someone to contact Derun and asked him to try to purchase some mulberry and fruit trees from the east through the Xuzhou Guild...
You must prepare in advance. Once you are ready, you can fully promote it. Don’t let me down."
On the pamphlet, there are four words written "Tang Foundation Planting".
After Bu Zhi took it, he took a rough look at it and his eyes lit up.
The content in Cao Peng's "Pond Foundation Planting" is actually the method of mulberry-based fish ponds and fruit-based fish ponds in later generations. This was originally a form of farming created due to the low-lying terrain of the Pearl River Delta in later generations. Today
In Wuwei, Hexi, it is not surprising. The Wuwei area in Hexi during the Eastern Han Dynasty was different from Ningxia and Gansu in later generations. With the help of rivers, Wuwei in Hexi had abundant water, crisscrossed rivers, and extremely fertile land.
In later generations, there was a fortress called Jiangnan, which refers to this area.
Mulberry-based fish ponds and fruit-based fish ponds are made by digging deep low-lying land into ponds, then piling soil to form a foundation, and filling up the terrain. The groundwater level is relatively lowered to plant mulberry trees and raise sericulture, increasing the products of the northwest and expanding the cold climate.
The state's production channels. From single farming and animal husbandry to diversification, it can also have a huge promotion effect on the northwest environment. Feeding fish with silkworm excrement, fertilizing mulberry with pond mud, planting mulberry, raising silkworms, and raising fish
The organic combination forms the interdependence of mulberry, silkworm, fish and mud, which promotes circulation, avoids waterlogging in depressions, and creates a good ecological environment.
Cao Peng didn't know at what era the northwest environment was destroyed.
However, taking precautions, making preparations in advance, and strengthening the environmental awareness of the Northwest, at least in his generation, will not be damaged. For Cao Peng, this is enough! At the same time, the emergence of sericulture and fisheries can also increase the economy of the Northwest
Benefits. Especially the transplantation of sericulture can have a huge promotion effect on the trade routes in the Western Regions...
As early as the beginning of the ninth year of Jian'an, Cao Peng had already started planning.
It was only because of the Ma Teng Rebellion that his plan failed to be implemented.
Now, he is leaving.
But the strategic vision of the Northwest could not die. He tried every means to recommend Pang Tong Bu Zhi Shi Tao as the governor of the three counties. This was precisely to prepare for his strategic vision of the Northwest. Once Hexi Sericulture and Fisheries
The rise will further stimulate Jincheng, Longxi, Hanyang, and even the Anding region. When the time comes, Zhangye County, as a trade distribution center, will focus on animal husbandry and commerce, and the entire Liangzhou will become the base of the Western Regions trade routes.
Producing huge benefits. If we proceed according to this idea, within ten years, Liangzhou will become a land of plenty and a real city in the south of the Yangtze River. Of course, this also requires a sustained and stable development plan.
Cao Peng, this blueprint has been sketched out.
Next, let’s look at Bu Zhi Shi Tao’s methods...
I believe that with their talents and abilities, they will be able to realize Cao Peng's blueprint.
After handing over this booklet, Cao Peng felt relieved for a while.
"Zishan, the northwest will be handed over to you. I can breathe a sigh of relief and go back to Xudu to enjoy peace and happiness. No matter how the court deals with me this time, it will not endanger my life, so there is no need to worry about me. I am now
The only thing I'm worried about is who will be the governor of Liangzhou in the end! However, no matter who is the governor of Liangzhou, if you encounter trouble, you can send someone to inform my brother-in-law, and through him, report to the court and ask for support
."
Step by step, my heart is racing.
After reading Cao Peng's plan, he realized what a huge blueprint structure Cao Peng had in his mind.
To him, this was almost unimaginable.
Change the production model of the Northwest and create the concept of the Great Northwest...
The entire Liangzhou, Yongzhou, Western Regions, even Hehuang, and even Guanzhong! Once implemented successfully, they will all be included in the blueprint of the Great Northwest Concept. As the saying goes, whoever wins Guanzhong will win the world. Even if Qinchuan is eight hundred miles away, no matter how wealthy it is,
, nor can it withstand years of consumption. Now, Cao Peng has designed a circulation system for Guanzhong, which will greatly strengthen the status of the northwest and make Guanzhong richer... and the most important thing is that once the Great Northwest Strategy is successfully implemented
, the power of the northwest giants will encounter a strong blow, and may even decline quickly.
"Young Master, don't worry, even if Zishan dies, your plan will be successful."
"ha……"
Cao Peng laughed, "It's just a plan, it won't lead to 'death'. You can't die. Not only you, but also Shiyuan, Guangyuan, and Gongwei must take good care of themselves. I will try something by then."
Let Taichang Imperial Physician send someone to diagnose and treat your health. I want you to live and make this northwest a paradise on earth."
Walking stall, prostrate on the ground, tears flowing freely!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
++++++++
After sending Bu Zhi away, Cao Peng got busy again.
He didn't even have time to play with Cao Yun and enjoy family happiness. He would leave the northwest in half a month at most. There was not much time left for him. He had to make various arrangements and make various regulations.
.
First, he ordered someone to find Deng Fan.
He explained in detail some matters related to the Qiang, Di, Xiongnu, and Xianbei. In Wuwei and Hexi, various ethnic groups lived together in a complicated and complicated manner. Although Cao Peng had made a good start, and various ethnic groups began to naturalize. But the integration of naturalization
The road is long, and there will be various complicated situations during the process. What's more, this is a process of integration where 'I' is the main focus, and bloody suppression and massacre are naturally inevitable. This is an inevitable process of 'national integration'.
Cao Peng does not want to passively integrate in the future, so he can only actively seek integration.
Zheng Qiang Zhonglang General is responsible for such a task.
He is not only in charge of the military, but also responsible for regulating the army, which is of great significance. Deng Fan is calm in times of trouble, so Cao Peng is not too worried. However, he lacks a little flexibility, which is Deng Fan's biggest problem at the moment.
"I will let Tuizhi stay to help you and serve as the wine sacrificer.
He is very knowledgeable about the affairs in the northwest and is extremely resourceful. You are brave and good at fighting, but you lack a little bit of tact. The cooperation between the two of you can be said to be a perfect match and complement each other. Therefore, I leave the safety of the northwest in your hands.
."
Deng Fan nodded seriously.
Cao Peng beheaded Wei Duan and his son in Didao, which made Deng Fan extremely grateful.
With such a brother, how could he not die in his service? I feel the same way, if the matter were placed on Deng Fan himself, Cao Peng would definitely draw his sword to help. He and Wang Mao Cao Peng walked out of Jiyang together. Since the second year of Jian'an to the present,
It has been eight years. Although Cao Peng is the youngest in Xiaobayi, in Deng Fan's heart, Cao Peng is the real eldest brother.
No matter what happens in the future, this sworn friendship will never be forgotten.
Deng Fan said: "Don't worry, Ah Fu, as long as I have one breath left, the northwest will be safe."
Next, Cao Peng contacted Wang Mai, Xia Houlan and others respectively and gave them instructions one by one.
Time passes day by day.
Cao Peng was busy from morning till night every day, but he always felt that he didn't have enough time.
On this day, he was at home compiling the detailed rules for naturalization in the Northwest when he suddenly heard a commotion outside the house.
"Sir, the imperial envoy has arrived!"
After hearing this, Cao Peng put down the pen in his hand and looked very calm.
He stood up, walked out of the room, and saw his retainers in the courtyard, all filled with indignation and holding weapons.
"What are you doing, are you going to rebel?"
Cao Peng shouted sternly: "Go back, all of you, and do what you have to do. Don't embarrass me here."
Jiang Ji's eyes turned red, "Young Master!"
"Jiang Jiong, do you want to rebel against me?"
"I don't dare to do this in a humble position."
Jiang Jiu was unwilling to give up, put down his weapons reluctantly, and led his people to get out of the way.
Cao Peng straightened his clothes and turned to look, but at the end of the corridor, he saw Buluan holding Cao Yun, Guo Huan and Zhen Mi supporting each other, looking at him with tears in their eyes. Cao Peng smiled slightly and nodded towards them,
He held his head high and walked towards the door.
In the main hall, a group of soldiers were extremely nervous.
Zhang He's face looked a little ugly, and he was complaining in his heart.
He did not have much friendship with Cao Peng. Speaking of which, he was captured thanks to Cao Peng and was defeated by Gan Ning. Later, during the Battle of Guandu, Zhang He was ordered to pretend to be a cavalry school captain, and he was also
He takes over Cao Peng's position...
When he came to Liangzhou this time, he had received many people's care before he left Xudu.
"When you meet Youxue, don't embarrass him. Give him enough dignity."
This was a message sent to him by someone from Dianwei.
"Youxue has made outstanding contributions, but he was harmed by villains.
Killing Wei Duan is what a man does... Jun Yi should be careful in his words and deeds."
This is what Houyuan, Yinxia of Henan Province, told him at a banquet when he passed through Guancheng.
In addition, there are also explanations from Xu Chu, Zhang Liao, Cao Ren and others. There are also requests from Cao Zhidian and Xu Yi and others...
Guo Jia personally visited him and asked him to be careful.
Xun Yu sent someone to tell Cao Peng privately not to wrong him.
In addition, famous celebrities such as Kong Rong also asked Zhang He to tell him that Cao Peng was a famous scholar and should not follow the rules of ordinary people, so as not to humiliate the gentleman. This made Zhang He feel tremendous pressure before he even set out.
When passing through Chang'an, Cao Hong gave another warning.
What surprised Zhang He the most was that Wei, the captain of the Sili school, told Zhang He based on the reputation of the Wei family in Hedong: "Cao Youxue has spread his power outside the region and intimidated Liangzhou. He is a talented person who has contributed to the country. Junyi should not leave here."
Neglect."
If we say that all the previous warnings were due to Cao Peng’s connections.
Then Wei Xi's instructions obviously have a different meaning...
Wei Jian, a wealthy man from Hedong, belongs to the powerful group of Guanzhong. His exhortations undoubtedly represent that the hostility of the powerful people in Guanzhong towards Cao Peng is slowly weakening. At the same time, it also marks that Cao Peng's reputation has reached a high level.
As soon as he entered Liangzhou, Zhang He felt a strong sense of hostility.
Whether in Longxi or Jincheng...especially after entering Wuwei County, the hostility became more intense. The Wuwei people he saw along the way seemed to be extremely hostile to them. This also made Zhang He feel worried.
What kind of person is Cao Youxue?
Zhang He was thinking about this problem all the way.
One thing is certain, Cao Cao did not want to embarrass Cao Peng, but was forced to order Cao Peng's arrest...
I thought it would be a relaxing journey, but I didn't expect that I would be under such tremendous pressure.
If I had known earlier, I would have followed Gao Lan's example and refused!
In contrast, Gao Lan's understanding of Cao Peng was much clearer than Zhang He's. After all, Gao Lan was captured by Cao Peng himself.
"General Cao!"
When Zhang He saw Cao Peng, he cupped his hands and smiled bitterly.
"Okay, I know Junyi's purpose."
Cao Peng said with a smile: "I'm ready, but it's best not to leave at this time and wait until dark.
what do you think?"
"Just follow the general's wishes."
Look at this person’s magnanimity!
Zhang He couldn't help but feel heartbroken.
He didn't seem to care at all and was already prepared.
Moreover, leaving at this time is indeed a bit troublesome. Since entering the city, the hostility Zhang He has felt has become more and more obvious. If Cao Peng is taken away at this time, it will arouse the anger of the people in Guzang and cause unnecessary conflicts.
Just one year!
Cao Peng only occupied Guzang for one year and gained the love of Guzang people and even Wuwei people.
It’s no wonder that when Ma Teng occupied Wuwei, he relied on powerful force to intimidate and resort to military violence, which put the people under tremendous pressure; but since Cao Peng took control of Wuwei, he reduced taxes and corvees, and even strictly limited the scope of conscription, giving the people a breather.
At the same time, Cao Peng vigorously promoted farming and supported farmers and mulberry trees, which also made the people of Wuwei feel hope and vitality that they had never had before. Now that Cao Peng is leaving, where is the hope of Wuwei?
"Jun Yi, after arriving in Liangzhou, you must not be arrogant.
Although Cao Youxue committed a heinous crime, he made great contributions to the country, the common people, and Sikong. You should try your best to be respectful in front of him. This is both a test and a huge opportunity for you."
These words came from Xu You's mouth.
At this time in history, Xu You was killed by Xu Chu.
But in this time and space, Xu You unexpectedly survived...
After the Battle of Guandu, he did not even hold any official position anymore. Instead, he stayed at home and lived like a hermit.
As both surrendered ministers of Hebei Province, Zhang He was naturally close to Xu Youzao.
In addition, Xu You had a certain reputation in Hebei, so Zhang He naturally liked to ask Xu You for advice.
test?
I already feel it!
But I haven't discovered the opportunity yet.
Zhang He was secretly glad that he listened to Xu You's advice and kept a low profile after entering Liangzhou. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to reach Wuwei alive...
Cao Peng ordered people to arrange a place to live.
The eight hundred soldiers accompanying him were placed in the school field outside the city.
Cao Peng did not entertain Zhang He, but went back to his room to continue writing the detailed rules and regulations, preparing to leave them to Bu Zhi, Pang Tong and others.
He believed in the abilities of Bu Zhi and Pang Tong.
But some things are too advanced... If some detailed rules are not made, it will inevitably have huge repercussions. Of course, he can also let Pang Tong and others cross the river by feeling for the stones. But if they can avoid taking some detours, what's the point?
Why not? For this reason, Cao Peng has worked very hard these days and spent a lot of brain cells.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
++
At night, Guzang County gradually becomes deserted.
Cao Peng put on simple clothes and walked to the front hall.
White camel soldiers and flying camel soldiers have been ordered to station outside the city. Under Cao Peng's order, the three girls of Bu Luan quietly left the city before dark and waited outside the city.
Cao Peng glanced at Pang De, who was dressed in gray clothes in the hall.
"Ling Ming, you don't have to follow me.
If you stay here, there will be many opportunities for you to display your talents."
Pang De's eyes suddenly turned red, "Young Master, please advise me. If I don't let De go with me, De will kill himself in the hall immediately."
"You guy...forget it, let it go."
Pound personally led the horse. In one hand was Cao Peng's liger rhubarb, and in the other hand was the snow-stepping black horse given to him by Cao Peng. This snow-stepping black horse was originally Ma Chao's mount. Zai Yun
I was suppressed by the liger and became Cao Peng's trophy. Later, Cao Peng gave the snow-stepping Wuzui to Pound and it became Pound's mount.
All in all, Cao Peng once had four good horses in his hands.
In addition to the ligers, the Zhaoyebai that Xia Houyuan gave him at the beginning has now become Xiahoulan's mount; the Wuzui horse captured from Zhang Fei was given to Gan Ning. Now, this Wuzui horse that steps on the snow
, and became Pound's favorite horse.
Looking at the Liger and the Snow-Taking Wuzui, Zhang He couldn't help but feel jealous.
Suddenly, he seemed to understand what "opportunity" Xu You was talking about. Cao Peng is actually a person worth following!
"Sir, it's time to hit the road!"
Cao Peng took a deep breath, stood at the door of the mansion, and glanced at the mansion behind him.
"Zishan, if Sister Cai comes back, give this mansion to her.
Please take care of her mother and daughter in the future...Sister Cai has been lonely all her life, but she should also live a good life."
Bu Zhao who came to see him off bowed and saluted.
"Zi Shan obeys orders."
"Let's go."
Cao Peng stepped down the steps and boarded the chariot prepared by Zhang He.
Zhang He originally wanted to mount his horse, but looking at the people around him, no one had the intention to mount his horse.
The carriage drove slowly, and people either led their horses to follow, or followed behind with their hands lowered. Everyone looked sad and silent.
"If you serve as an official, you will have no regrets even if you die!"
Zhang He suddenly had such an idea in his mind.
This Cao Youxue Cao Gongzi is not the kind of person who talks in vain.
Just looking at the respect of his subordinates, you can see what kind of methods he has. Even Cao Gong can't be more like this...
When the carriage arrived at the city gate, a whimpering horn sound suddenly came from the originally dark city tower.
In an instant, the lights on the city were brightly lit.
The soldiers all wore bright helmets and stood on the top of the city.
"I'll be waiting to see the young master back home!"
The shouts were uniform, like huge thunder, echoing in the night sky.
Zhang He subconsciously grasped the weapon in his hand and looked up, only to see the soldiers holding torches and standing in formation shouting.
The city gate opens slowly!
Zhang He saw a scene that he would never forget...
On the field outside Guzang City, the firelight was dotted like bright stars in the sky.
There must be tens of thousands of people!
The people of Guzang, supporting the old and the young, lined up in rows and rows outside the city. When the city gate opened, people suddenly shouted loudly: "Mr. Cao, don't leave... Mr. Cao..."
, please stay!”
Cao Peng heard the shouting and walked out of the car in surprise.
Seeing this scene in front of him, his nose felt sore and tears filled his eyes.
This time I return to the Central Plains, I don’t know when I will be able to return again.
He stood on the car, faced the mighty people, put his hands together and bowed to the ground.
In an instant, the crowd was excited!
The shouts became louder and louder, and the torches all over the mountains and fields complemented each other with the twinkling stars in the night, forming a spectacular picture.
Zhang He was very excited.
He looked towards Cao Peng and saw that majestic figure standing prominently in the night, with his clothes fluttering in the night wind, making him look even more outstanding!
