Chapter 679: Entrusting Wife and Sacrificing Son (9,000 words, please vote for me)
I present a 9,000-word chapter. Please give me ten of them!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Eight hundred miles of Dongting, with lakes and mountains, and rippling blue waves.
It was a wonderful day, with bright sunshine and a cloudless blue sky. It was also a rare good weather in Jingnan.
Cao Peng boarded a small boat and sailed towards Dongting Lake. On the shore of the lake, Fazheng and others were worried, but they could not stop Cao Peng.
When we went to the banquet, Cao Peng only took Wang Shuang with him.
Such an astonishing decision also made Fazheng and others frightened.
"How can the Grand Governor go alone?"
"Why not?"
"Then if Tai Shi Ci is deceitful, wouldn't it be very dangerous?"
Cao Peng replied: "Tai Shi Ziyi is a gentleman! Since he specially invited me, I think he came to discuss something. There is absolutely no danger for me to go, so there is no need to worry. If you are worried, you can ask Du Bohou to lead the fleet out of the stronghold.
We can support you at any time. It’s enough for me to go alone.”
Fazheng and others tried hard to persuade him, but they could not change Cao Peng's decision.
In this way, Cao Peng and Wang Shuang went straight to Junshan. About eighty miles away from the water village, they saw a large boat moored in the middle of the lake.
On the boat, the flag was flying.
The four characters "Jianchang, Taishi" were written in the letter.
This Jianchang is the official position of Taishi Ci. Now he is worshiped as the captain of Jianchang, so some people call Taishi Ci Taishi Jianchang. At this time, the Jiangdong soldiers and horses on the building boat also discovered traces of Cao Peng. Taishi Ci personally
He went to the deck to greet him, but when he saw Cao Peng alone, he couldn't help but be startled.
"Father, there is only one person in Cao Peng, so we can take the opportunity to kill him..."
"shut up!"
Taishi Ci was furious and reprimanded: "I hosted a banquet for Governor Cao today just because I admire him.
He believed in me, so he came here alone. How could I betray my trust? This kind of thing is not something a man would do. I will talk about it again after Yuan Fuxiu."
The young man who spoke was named Taishi Heng, and his courtesy name was Yuanfu.
He is the son of Tai Shici. He is fifteen years old and in the prime of his life.
This time Taishi Ci came to Luoxian, and Taishi Heng came with the army, waiting for dispatch. He was the true successor of Taishi Ci, especially good at water warfare, and was a leader among the second generation disciples of Jiangdong.
Taishi Heng's face turned red and he silently retreated.
Taishi Ci suddenly said: "Yuanfu, except for one maidservant, everyone should get off the boat and retreat thirty miles."
"ah?"
"Cao Peng came alone, but I have soldiers and horses on my side. Doesn't it mean that my momentum is weakened?"
Taishi Heng was a little worried, but he also knew that Taishi Ci was the kind of person who would never change his mind easily once he made up his mind. In desperation, Taishi Heng had no choice but to obey the order, hurriedly gathered the soldiers on the ship and evacuated quickly.
We boarded the boat and retreated thirty miles.
At the same time, Cao Peng also came under the boat.
Someone sent him down the gangway, and he stepped onto the building boat.
They saw that although there were many flags on the ship, there was not a single soldier. Dozens of beautiful maids stood respectfully on the upper boat. When Cao Peng boarded the upper boat, the beautiful maids saluted one after another.
A man about 180 centimeters tall stood on the deck.
I saw this man, about forty years old, with a face like pink jade and a beautiful beard under his chin.
"Captain Cao."
"General Taishi?"
Cao Peng and Tai Shici met for the first time, and they were both a little surprised.
Taishi Ci lamented Cao Peng's youth... He looked like he was in his early twenties. It seemed that he was still traveling around at Cao Peng's current age. However, Cao Peng had become a famous celebrity in the world, and he was also the governor of the town.
General, he truly deserves his reputation.
As for Cao Peng, he lamented Taishi's kindness and elegance.
At first glance, he doesn't look like a military commander, but more like a learned man.
Who would have thought that more than ten years ago, this man would challenge Sun Ce alone on horseback and fight at the foot of Shenting Ridge, and would become famous from then on?
Taishi Ci and Cao Peng had good feelings for each other.
Especially when he saw that there were no soldiers on the ship, Cao Peng immediately understood the mystery.
"Captain Cao, the banquet has been prepared. Please take a seat."
When boating on Dongting Lake, the ingredients used are all specialties of Dongting Lake. Soon, fish and shrimps are placed in front of the table, and fine wine is served.
The beautiful maid on the side walked towards the silk and bamboo wind instrument.
The singing echoed on the lake for a long time...
"Captain Cao, now that the war in Jingnan has calmed down, Ci will retreat to Chaisang in the near future."
"Then I wish General Taishi a prosperous future!"
Taishi Ci didn't beat around the bush and asked Cao Peng directly: "Ci took the liberty to invite you today for two reasons. First, I want to ask the governor if Zhou Tai can be released?"
Today Zhou Tai is still Cao Peng's prisoner and is being detained in Hanshou City.
This guy is like a stone in a latrine, smelly and hard, and won't eat soft or hard ones. As for Cao Peng, he didn't embarrass Zhou Tai and served him well with wine and meat. But Zhou Tai would get drunk after every meal.
Swear loudly, curse Cao Cao, curse Cao Peng, whatever comes to mind.
At first, Cao Peng wanted to recruit this person.
But looking at this, you know it's not that easy.
Therefore, Cao Peng simply ignored Zhou Tai. Anyway, in the end, whether to kill or release was decided by Cao Cao and had nothing to do with Cao Peng.
"Zhou Youping was at Hanshou, but he didn't feel any grievance at all.
On the other hand, Shizhong Xun and I are about to be scolded by him... As for whether we can be released or not, I cannot decide. This matter needs to be decided by the Prime Minister. Now that the Wu Hou envoy has arrived in Xiling, they will definitely discuss the matter with the Prime Minister. If
If the Prime Minister agrees to release him, I will not say anything and will never stop him; but if the Prime Minister disagrees, then I have nothing to do. I can guarantee that Zhou Youping will never be wronged in the slightest. But the final result depends on Zhang Chang
Shi and my prime minister discussed the outcome and asked Ziyi to forgive me."
Taishi Ci is silent!
What Cao Peng said is reasonable and there is nothing wrong with it.
That's right, Cao Peng indulged Lü Bu's family in those years. That was because Lü Bu's family treated him kindly.
Zhou Tai and Cao Peng have no relationship at all, and are hostile to each other. It is indeed not Cao Peng's decision to make the decision in this kind of matter, and he is not trying to evade it.
"Prime Minister, do you want to take Jiangdong?"
"ah?"
Cao Peng was startled, raised his head in astonishment, and looked at Tai Shi Ci.
Taishi Ci smiled slightly and said, "Although the Prime Minister is on good terms with the Marquis of Wu, this battle is inevitable.
You know this result, I know it, everyone knows it... Now, Prime Minister Cao has been reluctant to use troops because the navy cannot be used; and Wu Hou has been reluctant to cross the river to fight, also because the infantry army cannot compete with the Prime Minister.
Fighting on land. Whether it is the Prime Minister or the Marquis of Wu, there will be a battle sooner or later. There is no room for two tigers in this mountain, and the country has always belonged to one person... When the time comes, there will be a fierce battle."
Cao Peng laughed!
With burning eyes, he looked at Tai Shi Ci, and after a while he suddenly said: "Zi Yi wants to get rid of me and then be happy?"
Taishi Ci was startled, then looked up to the sky and laughed.
"If I take your life, I will be in front of the two armies.
Ci Shang disdains such petty tactics. However, today, I am here to drink and have fun, and I will show no mercy when the two armies confront each other in the future."
"If so, I won't be merciful."
Cao Peng said, changing the subject, "However, I think there won't be many opportunities for you and me to fight each other."
"oh?"
"I want to go back!"
"Back to where?"
"Xudu!"
Cao Peng seemed to be saying to himself, "After two and two years of fighting and fighting, and intrigues every day, I am finally getting tired. My child has rarely been reunited with me since he was born. This time, the discussion of the Wu Hou envoy is over.
I am also going to ask for my resignation from the Prime Minister, and I will allow you to rest and recuperate for a while."
"You are so young, why are you so depressed?"
"Relaxation is the best choice."
Taishi Ci and Cao Peng looked at each other and burst into laughter.
At this moment, although the two were more than ten years apart in age, they seemed to be close friends.
"By the way, what is Ziyi's second thing?"
Tai Shi Ci's face showed a look of embarrassment.
He hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, stood up and walked to the cabin door of the building, saying respectfully: "Sister-in-law, Shang Xiang, Shao'er... you guys come out."
While they were talking, several people walked out of the cabin.
There were four women and one man, one of whom was a little girl. The man was actually just a boy. He looked about twelve or thirteen years old. He had a tiger-like head and a somewhat heroic spirit. Cao Peng squinted his eyes and felt that the boy seemed a little...
It looks familiar, but I can't remember the history.
There are two women left, one is about twenty-five or six years old, and she is extremely beautiful with a beautiful face.
There was a look of depression between her eyebrows, which made people feel even more pity. The woman next to her, who was about in her early twenties, was dashing and handsome, and quite manly.
Wearing a fiery red dress, she showed off her graceful curves.
It is convex where it should be convex and concave where it should be concave, which is quite exciting.
This girl seems quite familiar.
"Ziyi, this is..."
Before Tai Shici could speak, he heard the girl say: "Little thief, do you still remember me?"
Do I know you well?
He actually called me ‘little thief’.
This title is rarely used nowadays. Except for Guan Yu who dared to scold him in person, no one seemed to dare to say it in front of Cao Peng.
And the 'little thief' in the girl's mouth and the 'little thief' that Guan Yu scolded do not seem to mean the same thing.
There was a bit of arrogance, but there was a vague sense of familiarity, as if someone had called him that before.
"Shang Xiang, don't be rude."
"Sun Shangxiang...you are such a naughty bitch."
When Cao Peng heard the title of Taishi Ci, an idea flashed in his mind, as if he was suddenly transported back to ten years ago, when he and Xun Yan were on an envoy to Jiangdong, and met the unruly girl in the house of Marquis Wu. He almost blurted out the words, which made him laugh.
Sun Shangxiang suddenly became furious, and like a little tiger, she was about to pounce on her. Fortunately, the woman beside her held her tightly, so that the situation did not worsen.
Taishi Ci said in astonishment: "The governor recognizes Shang Xiang."
"Little thief, I told you that I will settle the score with you sooner or later."
Sun Shangxiang gritted his teeth, looked at Cao Peng and cursed.
Flash forward, more than ten years.
The little boy who followed Xun Yan back then had no idea that he has become an unparalleled hero now.
Sun Shangxiang still remembers how Cao Peng cut her face at that time. Every time she thinks about it, she can't help but grit her teeth.
But unfortunately, I can never forget that unruly boy.
The first time in my life I was scolded, the first time I was beaten, the first time I was humiliated...
Later, I heard that the little boy back then was actually named Cao and was Cao Cao's nephew. Later, the little thief became famous all over the world for his three Mongolian essays and became a famous celebrity. The inscription he made on the humble room, Ailian said,
It was sung by many people. Even people with arrogant temperaments like Zhou Yu and Lu Su were full of praise. Sun Shangxiang gradually grew up and reached the age to get married... But every time someone came to marry her, she couldn't help but
I took out the little thief and compared it with the other party... As a result, my sister-in-law is still alone to this day.
‘Unruly bitch’!
Such ugly words...
But for some reason, Sun Shangxiang still felt sweet in her heart.
The little thief has a good memory, but he still remembers this girl.
Mrs. Da Qiao, Tai Shi Ci, and Sun Shao looked at the two of them, a little stunned.
Few people knew about the conflict between Sun Shangxiang and Cao Peng. At that time, no one except Sun Ce and Xun Yan paid attention.
After Sun Ce's death, this past event became even less known.
Looking at this unruly woman, Cao Peng couldn't help but laugh!
"You're a naughty girl. She's still so naughty now. Be careful not to get married."
"I want you to take care of it!"
Sun Shangxiang's face suddenly turned red with embarrassment.
Taishi Ci smiled bitterly and said: "I didn't expect that the governor and Shang Xiang knew each other, but it saved me a lot of trouble.
Governor, let me introduce to you Bo Fu’s wife, Mrs. Qiao. This is Bo Fu’s son, named Sun Shao. They are the daughters of Bo Fu and his wife, and they are both of Bo Fu’s blood. I invite the Governor to come today.
One more thing to ask, I hope the governor can take care of them."
"ah?"
Cao Peng was stunned!
This is asking for a wife and a son. The question is, do I have such a good relationship with you?
"I also know that it is a bit presumptuous to do this, but I really can't think of anyone else who can be entrusted to me.
The Governor is a gentleman and has the style of Ji Bu. Therefore, I have no choice but to take the liberty to invite you. I hope the Governor will not be surprised! As for the inside story of this, it is difficult to describe it in a word. If it is not necessary, Ci will not trouble the Governor. Of course, if the Governor is really in trouble, Quan will do it.
There are no words of mercy.”
Cao Peng looked at Mrs. Qiao and then at Sun Shangxiang.
Finally, his eyes fell on the three brothers and sisters...
One of the girls should be Lu Xun's wife in history. But now it looks like she hasn't opened her eyes yet, and she is a girl with yellow hair.
"Ziyi, what is going on?"
"General Taishi, Governor Cao, why don't you sit down and talk first."
Mrs. Qiao suddenly spoke, with the Wu Nong soft-spoken accent unique to Jiangnan women, which was quite pleasant.
So Cao Peng and Tai Shici sat down, but gave the top position to Mrs. Qiao's family.
It's very simple!
According to Mrs. Qiao, Sun Quan got the order of Sun Ce and ascended to the position of Marquis of Wu. According to Sun Ce's will at the time, after Sun Quan died, he needed to return power to Sun Shao. At that time, Sun Shao was also old, so he
He is a suitable candidate to take charge of Soochow. However, Sun Quan is reluctant and is extremely afraid of Sun Shao. On the surface, he cares very much about Sun Ce's flesh and blood, and even gave up his ancestral home...
But the problem is that Fuchun is remote and far away from the political center of Jiangdong.
To say that he was living there, it would be better to say that he was under house arrest.
Cao Cao wanted to marry Sun Quan, but Sun Quan planned to send Sun Shao to Xudu as a hostage.
Sun Shao was also a man of character, so naturally he could not be manipulated by Sun Quan, so with the help of Sun Shangxiang, the group fled Fuchun.
But where can we go after leaving Fuchun?
According to Sun Shao's idea, he was to remain anonymous and serve in Cao's army.
But Sun Shangxiang disagreed: After all, you are also the son of the little overlord of Jiangdong. How can you rise from a pawn?
So after a heated debate, Mrs. Qiao and others decided to go to Taishi Ci first. Taishi Ci was very close to Sun Ce, and he commanded troops and horses, so he had certain real power. After Taishi Ci learned the thoughts of Mrs. Qiao's family,
, also thought it was feasible. He knew very well that if Sun Shao stayed in Jiangdong, he would be killed by Sun Quan sooner or later. Taishi Ci knew this, and all the officials in Jiangdong also knew it.
After thinking about it, I still feel that Cao Peng can be trusted.
So today, Taishi Ci invited Cao Peng.
Cao Peng couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this.
"Ziyi, you have given me a lot of trouble.
Now the Prime Minister is negotiating with Marquis Wu. If Marquis Wu knows... Shut up, you naughty girl, I know what to do. I also respect Bo Fu, but it is a pity that he died young. So, since you said it Ziyi, if Madam you
If you trust me, follow me back. I dare not say anything else, but I will ensure that your family is safe and there will be no problems. As for the future... the future will be discussed in the future, and no one can tell now. Just follow me.
We will stay at the Dudu Mansion and after some time, we will return to Xingyang together so that we can take care of each other.
Unruly girl, are you satisfied with this?"
Sun Shangxiang blushed and lowered his head.
Taishi Ci stood up and bowed, "The governor's righteousness must be remembered by Ci."
"But it's a nuisance to the governor."
Mrs. Qiao also paid her respects.
The spring shirt was thin, revealing her slender and sexy white neck. As she bowed her head, a faint ravine could be seen.
Live up to the name of Jiangdong Erqiao!
Cao Peng sighed inwardly and quickly stood up to return the courtesy.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Taishi Ci sent Cao Peng back to the water village. At the same time, Wang Shuang also released Mingdi.
Du Ji drove a large ship and came slowly. The two ships collided. Cao Peng asked Sun Shangxiang and others to board the ship first, and then said goodbye to Tai Shici.
Du Ji felt very strange about the sudden appearance of beautiful women.
However, he did not ask because he knew that there were some things that he did not need to ask.
This is what Cao Peng admired most about Du Ji.
"Bohou, please Madam and the others go into the cabin first. I will disembark first in a while and join Xiaozhi and the others. After we leave, you ask Wang Shuang to take them straight to the Governor's Mansion... This matter is difficult to explain. If there is a chance,
I will explain it to you myself."
Du Ji chuckled, "That's not necessary.
It’s just young master, you are so lucky..."
Seeing the lewd smile on Du Ji's face, Cao Peng knew immediately that this guy was wrong.
"You... forget it, whatever you think.
Remember, no one is allowed to know about this matter, and it must be kept confidential."
“It’s worth taking a humble job!”
"Also, I heard people say that Cai Mao may be dismissed from his post as Commander-in-Chief of the Navy.
As for the candidate for the new Governor-General, it is not very clear yet. I originally wanted to choose you, but after all, your qualifications are too young, and I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public. So I estimate that this time, you may not be able to be the Commander-in-Chief. But I will try my best to help you.
Retain the Dongting Lake Navy... In a few days, when the Jiangdong Navy has withdrawn, you will lead your troops to station in Chenglingji and Sanjiangkou. As for the candidate for the Commander-in-Chief, I will notify you as soon as I have news.
But before that, you must try to monitor the movements of Cai Mao's navy for me.
If that guy makes any changes, cooperate with Xu Gongming and kill him... We must not cause anything to happen to the navy."
"General, I understand!"
Cao Peng nodded and walked onto the deck.
At this time, it is getting late and the sun is setting in the west.
Taishi Ci's boat was slowly leaving, heading towards Luo County.
The solitary sail casts its shadow over the blue mountains!
Such a poem suddenly flashed through Cao Peng's mind.
He admired Taishi Ci very much. But he didn't know if he would have another chance in the future to drink happily like Taishi Ci did today.
In history, when did Taishi Ci die?
Cao Peng can no longer remember clearly!
But thinking about it, it’s not that far away...
By the way, if Cai Mao is dismissed, who will Cao Cao let lead the navy?
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
++++++++++
After returning to Hanshou, Cao Peng took Mrs. Qiao, Sun Shangxiang and her family into the Governor's Mansion without anyone noticing.
The Governor's Mansion is very large, and it is easy to arrange a family. However, Mrs. Da Qiao seems to be in a bad mood. Think about it, her husband has conquered Jiangdong, but now he has to leave his hometown and seek refuge with the enemy.
.Anyone else would have felt awkward. Fortunately, with Sun Shangxiang and Sun Shao accompanying her, Mrs. Da Qiao would not be too sad.
That night, Cao Peng held a family banquet in his mansion.
"Madam, I wonder what your plans are for the future?"
Mrs. Da Qiao replied: "I just want to be safe and sound, and that's enough.
It's just Shao'er... Shao Fang Thirteen, but it's not a good thing to keep his name anonymous. Since he was a child, he hoped to imitate Wu Hou and do the great work of expanding the territory. If it is convenient for the governor, please take care of Shao. I am mother and daughter.
,Grateful……"
"Cao Afu, I heard that you have a tooth soldier by your side called the White Camel Soldier?"
"Ah, exactly!"
Sun Shangxiang was not polite and called Cao Peng by his first name.
This made Cao Peng quite dumbfounded, but at the same time, he felt very close to him.
So he tilted his head and asked, "Why, do you want a white camel?"
"May I?"
Sun Shangxiang's eyes suddenly lit up.
"What's the problem? I'll send someone to tell Guangyuan later and ask him to find a Liangshan white camel from the Western Regions and give it to you as a mount.
Let me tell you, that Liangshan white camel is quite precious in the Western Regions. It walks like the wind, is extremely fast, and has very strong endurance..."
Sun Shangxiang smiled so hard that his eyebrows were as charming as the crescent moon.
She pulled Cao Peng's sleeve and said repeatedly: "Then it's settled, I want the Liangshan White Camel."
A pair of soft catkins, the girl's body fragrance is like orchid and musk, which is intoxicating.
Mrs. Da Qiao suddenly laughed!
"Mother, why are you laughing?"
"I'm laughing at your aunt... When we were in Jiangdong, she never pretended to be false. It turned out that she already had a sweetheart."
Sun Shao was startled, "You mean..."
"Okay, don't make any noise.
Since you have decided to abandon the Sun family and build your career, you must be obedient when you follow the governor in the future, and don't let your young master's temper come back."
"Um!"
Sun Shao nodded vigorously.
At the same time, Sun Shangxiang seemed to suddenly remember something.
"Cao Afu, you bullied me again... I just asked you about the White Camel Soldiers, why did you suddenly bring up the Liangshan White Camels to me?"
"You have to say it yourself."
"Okay, then I would like to join your White Camel Soldiers, is that possible?"
Cao Peng glanced at Sun Shao, and Sun Shao involuntarily puffed up his chest.
This little tiger is quite like his father. When I saw him for the first time, I felt familiar, probably because he looked very similar to Sun Ce.
"White Camel Soldier, I'm afraid it's a bit difficult."
"Why?"
"We, the White Camel Soldiers, have very high requirements. They must be over 20 and under 30 before they can enter.
Although Sun Gongzi Fang Shisan is physically strong, he cannot withstand the daily drills of the White Camel Soldiers. Moreover, he is now in his prime, so joining the army too early will not be beneficial to his growth. I mean, Shao should study first
, practice martial arts well. When he grows up, I can let him join me to gain more experience. By the way, I have a nephew named Deng Ai, who is the same age as Shao. In addition, Du Shu, the son of Bohou, is already eleven
, and my disciple Cai Di are currently studying at Fuxishan Xingyang Academy. Let Mr. Sun study at the academy with them. When the time comes, I will make arrangements. But now, it is really not very suitable..."
Sun Shao was a little disappointed.
But Mrs. Da Qiao couldn't help but her eyes lit up.
Although Xingyang Academy has just been established, its reputation has already spread.
It is said that a large number of well-educated people of the world gathered there, and even Jiangdong heard about it.
The most important ones are the three people Cao Peng just mentioned. One is Cao Peng's nephew, one is Cao Peng's disciple, and the other is the son of Cao Peng's confidant. Doesn't it mean that Sun Shao is bound to be with them?
Will she get Cao Peng's attention? Mrs. Da Qiao is also a smart person. As soon as her eyes rolled, she immediately figured it out.
"I heard that the governor has learned a lot and is a great scholar in the world.
Shao Zi was lonely, and Bo Fu left early, so he didn't receive much education. I boldly asked Shao to join the governor's sect, so that he could learn some self-defense skills."
"this……"
Cao Peng hesitated.
In his previous life, he liked Sun Ce very much.
Of course, I have heard about Jiangdong Erqiao for a long time.
But accepting Sun Shao as a disciple is a bit difficult. In any case, Sun Shao is Sun Ce's son, and he escaped from Sun Quan. If anyone knew about it, I'm afraid there would be a lot of trouble. However, in the face of Mrs. Da Qiao's
With the sadness in his eyes, Cao Peng couldn't bear to refuse.
"If the young master doesn't dislike me, it will be a blessing for me to be a friend."
"Shao, get up quickly and pay homage to me."
Mrs. Da Qiao was overjoyed and hurriedly took Sun Shao with her to perform the apprenticeship ceremony with Cao Peng.
It’s a mess, it’s really a mess!
It's enough that Cai Wenji's son became her disciple, and now there is another Sun Shao; by the way, there is also Liu Cong, which is really a bit confusing. But since he has agreed, Cao Peng will naturally not change his words, so
I happily accepted Sun Shao's apprenticeship ceremony.

In mid-April of the 13th year of Jian'an, Zhang Hong led the Jiangdong delegation and arrived in Xiling County.
Pang Shanmin had also arrived at Xiling and was responsible for receiving Zhang Hong and his party. Later, Cao Cao hosted a banquet in the camp to entertain Zhang Hong and his party.
The next day, the two sides began an extremely difficult negotiation and consultation.
Sun Quan asked Cao Cao to give up the two counties in Jingnan, namely Lingling and Guiyang. This was the condition Liu Bei originally offered. Now that Liu Bei has become difficult to do, Sun Quan will not give up the two territories he is about to acquire.
But Cao Cao refused. He was willing to give Lingling to Sun Quan, but it was not in Sun Quan's interests. After all, Lingling was separated from Jiangdong by Guiyang.
For ten days in a row, the two sides argued non-stop.
In the end, it was Xun Yu who proposed and agreed to give up Guiyang, but would not hand over Lingling.
However, as compensation, Cao Cao could give up Xiajie and allow Jiangdong soldiers and horses to garrison Xiajie. Although Xiajie is only a county town, it is an important place in Jiangxia County. At the same time, for Jiangdong, Xiajie is like the gateway to Chaisang, with
It is of extremely important significance. Being able to get the pheasant seems to be a good choice. In this way, Zhang Hong sent people to Wu County to ask for instructions, but basically reached an agreement.
Afterwards, Cao Cao expressed his willingness to release Zhou Tai and other Jiangdong generals.
But Taishi Ci must withdraw from Luoxian, and the Jiangdong navy must also withdraw from Poluoyuan.
Zhang Hong did not struggle with this point and readily agreed. After all, after Xiajun was occupied by Cao Cao, Taishi Ci's troops were like a lone army, and it was meaningless to continue to stay in Luo County...
After fifteen days of negotiations, the two parties finally reached an agreement.
Subsequently, Cao Cao ordered Cao Peng to release Zhou Tai, but Taishi Ci's troops had to evacuate Changsha County at the end of May.
In this negotiation, no one paid attention to what Liu Bei's attitude would be in Changsha County. In fact, when the fight reached this point, Liu Bei was at the end of his rope. Sun Quan had gained Guiyang, and he could also provide Liu Bei with a certain degree of assistance. Of course, this kind of
Everyone knows the plan, so there is no need to talk about it.
In May of the thirteenth year of Jian'an, Cao Peng released Zhou Tai.
But on the same day, he received an order to go to Xiling immediately.
Xu Huang took over the responsibility for the Jingnan war, while Cao Peng had other arrangements.
Cao Peng was a little strange. When he was talking to Xu Huang, he couldn't help asking: "Gongming, the prime minister asked me to go to Xiling. Why?"
Xu Huang showed envy and said with a smile: "Of course it's a good thing."
"Good thing?"
"Hey, I haven't congratulated you Xue yet. I heard that the Prime Minister is recruiting you to return this time, and you do have an important task. However, it is not in Jingzhou, but to return to Xudu."
"ah?"
Although Cao Peng had long wanted to return to Xudu in his heart.
However, Cao Cao took the initiative to give the order, but Cao Peng was more or less surprised.
After the handover with Xu Huang, Cao Peng ordered Huang Zhong and Pang De to escort Mrs. Da Qiao and her family to Xiangyang first. Originally, Cao Peng hoped that the two of them could stay and take on the heavy responsibility. However, Huang Zhong and Pang De still hoped to work with Cao Peng.
Cao Peng left with Cao Peng and did not have much interest in staying in Wuling. Fazheng, Zhang Song and Jiang Wan also evacuated with Cao Peng. Wei Yan was appointed deputy governor to assist Xu Huang in the war in Jingnan. Du
Ji, on the other hand, continued to stay in Dongting Lake. On the one hand, he was conducting naval exercises, and on the other hand, he was monitoring Cai Mao's movements.
Wenpin Wang Wei will also stay in Jingnan to assist Xu Huang and pacify Jingnan.
I don’t know who leaked the news. When Cao Peng left Hanshou, Wuxi Man Lao Wang Shateng hurried from Hutou Mountain with Samoko.
Nowadays, the Wuxi barbarians have moved out of Hutou Mountain and settled outside the mountain.
Cao Peng ordered people to build Wuxi County based on the local terrain for the Wuxi barbarians to live.
The old king of Wuxi Barbarians took Cao Peng's hand and said, "If it weren't for the Governor, how could we and the mountain barbarians be bathed in the blessings of the heaven... The Governor left this time, and Xiao Wang was extremely reluctant to leave. The Governor and my family, Shasha, had the grace to survive.
I would like to make Shasha follow the governor, lead the horse and put on the stirrup, to show my gratitude."
Let Shamoko follow me?
Cao Peng was also extremely surprised...
But they saw Samoko walking out from behind Sha Teng, pushing the gold mountain, toppling the jade pillar, and crawling in front of Cao Peng, "Please take him in, please take him in."
Samoko is also a proud person.
Now that I can put down my face and surrender to Cao Peng, it must be after a lot of ideological struggle.
Cao Peng looked towards Fazheng and others, and saw Fazheng, Zhang Song and Jiang Wan. They all nodded, indicating that Cao Peng agreed to this matter...
"Since Lao Wang said so, let Shasha go with me.
There is no need for Shasha to lead the horse and put on the stirrups, but as long as Cao Peng is here, he will never let Shasha suffer any injustice. One day, I will make Shasha return home in fine clothes."
Lao Wang was overjoyed when he heard this!
Isn't this exactly the result he hoped for?
The Wuxi barbarians moved out of Hutou Mountain and from now on, they had to live with the Han family.
If you don’t have a backer behind you, you will probably be bullied...
However, if Cao Peng supports them, the Wuxi barbarians can avoid a lot of trouble. Maybe they will also get a lot of care.
This is a hundred times better than following Liu Bei!
Although Liu Bei gave the Wuxi Barbarians a lot of gold and silver, he did not make many substantial changes in the lives of the Wuxi Barbarians. On the contrary, Cao Peng, who was an enemy at the beginning, within half a year of coming to Jingnan,
Opening the market improved the life of the mountain barbarians. Those rules and regulations also made the mountain barbarians feel at ease. Cao Peng is leaving now, but his prestige in Jingnan will not be reduced in any way.

After bidding farewell to Wuxi Man Laowang and others, Cao Peng took Fazheng, Shamoke and three hundred flying camel soldiers and headed straight for Xiling County.
Along the way, we slept in the open air and slept in the open air at dawn.
A few days later, Cao Peng arrived outside the city of Xiling County after a long journey.
However, Cao Cao had actually left Xiling, led Xun Yu and others, boarded a boat to Yunmengze, and inspected Jingnan.
"Congratulations to Afu, congratulations to Afu!"
It was Guo Jia who stayed in Xiling and was responsible for receiving Cao Peng.
Cao Peng asked in astonishment: "Where does happiness come from?"
"Haha, the Prime Minister has given an order to add General Afu and the three divisions of Kaifu. Isn't it great joy?"
Cao Peng shivered and immediately looked at Guo Jia warily, "Brother Fengxiao, you gave me such good treatment for no reason. Do you have an ulterior motive?"
That is, Cao Peng dared to say such words after receiving the reward.
"I know my uncle, he is always a sweet date and a slap in the face.
Although I have made some achievements, the generals, Kaifu Yi and the three divisions...hey, I'm afraid, I won't be able to bear it."
Fa Zheng was stunned on the sidelines.
Guo Jia smiled and said: "I can bear it, I can bear it!
If you, Fu, can't bear it, then who else in the Prime Minister's house can bear it?"
"Shut up, you are picking on my relationship with my husband-in-law."
Guo Jia laughed heartily, and then stopped suddenly. The smile on his face disappeared immediately, and there was a look of solemnity on his face, "The joking is over, let's talk about business.
The capital of Xu is not at peace now."
"Well?"
Guo Jia gave a brief explanation of the situation, and then said: "The Prime Minister appointed you as a court lieutenant and a post general. You will return to Xudu immediately to assist Wen He in his affairs.
Here is a secret letter that you can open and read on the way."
Tingwei?
One of the Nine Qings...
Cao Peng took a breath and suddenly felt nervous.
Jiuqing is not an ordinary position, but he is at the center of power.
The Tingwei is in charge of the world's prisons, with a rank of two thousand stones, and has great power. Now that Cao Cao has asked him to take charge of the Tingwei, I am afraid there will be a lot of bloodshed.
"When shall I set off?"
"Of course the sooner the better... All the seals and ribbons are in Wen He's hands.
When you arrive in Xudu, the seal and ribbon will be handed over to you. Ah Fu, this matter is of great significance. You must not take it lightly and act with caution."
Cao Peng took a deep breath and nodded.
"Then I'll set off immediately."
Before he could even enter the county seat of Xiling County, Cao Peng set off again.
On the way to Xiangyang, Cao Peng was restless. When he left the border of Jiangxia County, he suddenly stopped his horse and took out the letter from his arms.
He tore open the letter and took out the envelope.
Cao Peng opened the letter, but his expression suddenly changed.
"Sir, what's wrong?"
Cao Peng took a deep breath and handed the letter to Fazheng.
But I saw a piece of snow-white letter paper without any writing. This is a piece of white paper!
Fazheng's expression couldn't help but change!
"Son..."
"I already understand what the Prime Minister means. This matter must be done cleanly and no fish can slip through the net."
"But if you really do this, the reputation of the young master..."
Cao Peng, silent!
After a while, he suddenly smiled and said to Fa Zheng: "Prime Minister, don't you hope so?"
Fazheng was startled and suddenly showed a look of astonishment.
Shamoko, on the other hand, looked at the two people in confusion, unable to guess what the two people were talking about...
