Cao Thief

Chapter 517 I am lucky, I lost my life

Cao Ying looked upstairs, and Cao Peng set up a pergola to watch the changes in Guzang City.

Cao Peng got the news when Pang De arrived at the city of Guzang.And when Ma Tie's arrow shot Pound, he knew that the fire was almost over.It's not that he wants to frame Pound, it's just that everything goes with the flow.Historically, Cao Cao succeeded in subduing Pound only through Zhang Lu's subordinates' slander.Cao Peng didn't try to frame Pang De, he just let nature take its course... Ma Tie's words and deeds are under Jia Xing's control.

In terms of grasping people's hearts, Jia Xing can be called a master, definitely top-notch.

After Dan Qi said he had surrendered to Xiutu County, Jia Xing used various channels to get a general understanding of Ma Tie.

This is a headstrong child who is arrogant and spoiled at the same time!

To deal with this kind of person, as long as you keep showing your flaws, let him be suspicious, and let him be hostile, you will naturally succeed immediately.

When Pang Ming snatched the Tiger Roaring Knife from Pound's hand and cut off his robe to judge justice, a smile suddenly appeared on Jia Xing's face.

"General, it's done!"

Cao Peng smiled, "How can I see that?"

"Does the general think that Pang Ming can defeat Pang De?"

"There's a big gap between the two."

Jia Xing said: "If Pang De's mind hadn't been moved, how could Pang Ming's skills have taken the weapon from Pang De's hands? Pang De is probably disheartened now. The general can take someone to meet him, and then wait for the good news. .

Come to think of it, Ma Teng's reinforcements are coming too!

Shi Yuan is probably already prepared. When Ma Teng's troops arrive, they will defeat him in one fell swoop, and Xiliang will be settled. "

Cao Peng nodded, expressing his strong agreement.

This is in line with his previous plan to conquer Pound and besiege Guzang.Eliminate Ma Teng's vital forces, deter Xiqiang from submitting, and thus take down the entire Wuwei County without any bloodshed.If Wuwei County wins, the door of the Hexi Corridor will be opened suddenly.This is also extremely beneficial to the development of the Hexi County Chamber of Commerce.Controlling the commercial routes in the Western Regions is an extremely critical step.

Only by restarting the Silk Road and running through the Hexi Corridor can Hexi County truly develop.

After all, Hexi County is too small... Although it is a treasure land, its environment also restricts its future development.To the north, with Helan Mountain as a barrier, it can certainly strengthen the defense of Hexi County, but at the same time it also makes it difficult for Hexi County to develop northward.It is also for this reason that Cao Peng would rather lose resources, and ask the Tanzhe tribe to leave the Shizui Mountain Pass in the north and occupy the land in Mobei.The purpose is to lay a solid foundation for future northward travel.

Going north, unlikely.

What about eastward?With the Yellow River natural moat, it is also very difficult.

Going south is under the rule of Anding County.It is impossible for Cao Peng to forcibly plunder the interests of Anding County, that would cause disturbance.

Zhang not only has a good relationship with Hexi County, but also supports the development of Hexi County very much.

If you lose Zhang Ji's support for a small benefit, the gain will not be worth the loss... Therefore, this road to the south will be difficult to succeed.The only way out is to develop westward.Open up the Hexi Corridor, restart the Silk Road, and connect the Western Regions and the Central Plains as one.Only in this way can Hexi County develop in a short period of time...

Cao Peng has an overall plan for Hexi County.

Within three years, after basic needs are met, Hexi County must change its development model.

Relying solely on farmland is by no means a long-term thing.As the population increases, land resources will become less and less, and conflicts will increase accordingly.Therefore, to plan ahead, Cao Peng also has a small vision for the development model of the town.The political and military functions of the city are downplayed, and its economic functions are enhanced, so that Hexi becomes a trade center connecting the Western Regions and Mobei. Through commercial means, it penetrates the Western Regions and Mobei and strengthens its control.

This will be a long process.

Cao Peng has enough patience and time to plan and develop slowly...

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++
However, just as Cao Peng was about to go out to meet the Pang De brothers, there was a sudden change in the city of Guzang!
Pairs of eyes stared at Ma Tie, making Ma Tie angry.

Pang Ming cursed loudly, making Ma Tie a little embarrassed.Most importantly, he saw a kind of doubt and distrust in the eyes staring at him.Those words of Pang Ming really hit Ma Tie's weakness...

His control over Gu Zang City is really too weak!
After losing Ma Cheng and the Xiliang Four Tigers, Ma Tie's prestige in Xiliang was at its lowest.

This point, Ma Tie is also very clear.

It's just that before this, no one has brought this matter to the surface.Pang Ming's words were like tearing off the only fig leaf left on Ma Tie's body.He is Ma Teng's son, and he is also Ma Teng's favorite son!

But what else does he have?
If you can't do it, you can't do it!
These six words are definitely the most appropriate words to describe the current horse iron.

Ma Tie's face became red with embarrassment and anger, and suddenly he pulled out the sword under his ribs, "Pang De, if I don't kill you, I swear I won't be a human being!"

While speaking, he sternly shouted: "Who will take Pound's head for me?"

All the generals in Xiliang remained silent like cicadas.

Pound's bravery is well known to all.In the past, when the Four Tigers of Xiliang were around, they might still be able to challenge Pang De, but now...

Ma Tie was even angrier, "Who will go to the leader of the bandit for me?"

"The end will be willing to go!"

Just when the generals were silent and Ma Tie was about to erupt, someone suddenly shouted.

The crowd suddenly parted, and a young general jumped out of the crowd like a stroke, and rushed towards Ma Tie.

That young general, who was only in his early twenties, had a ring-sword in his palm.

I saw his face was ferocious and terrifying, and he came to Ma Tie in the blink of an eye, and shouted sharply: "General Pang is such a hero, but he is persecuted by you like this. I wait for everyone, so I will do my best? If I don't kill you today, I will be killed by you sooner or later." .”

Before he finished speaking, the young general raised his knife and knocked the horse iron to the ground with one knife.

"Wait, are you willing to be tricked by this person? Don't open the door yet!"

When Ma Tie was knocked down to the ground, he was still confused: who is this guy?

There was chaos on the top of the city, and the generals in Xiliang looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what to do.Judging by the young general's attire, his identity and status are not too high, he is probably a low-level military officer like a military lord.Many people don't even know him, and can't pronounce his name.But it was such an unknown person who shocked everyone at the top of the city.

At the same time, there was a commotion under the city gate.

Shouts of killing are everywhere...

Immediately afterwards, the city gate opened.

"General, why don't you take Guzang for the merit of having an audience with him?"

The sudden change on the top of the city left the Pang De brothers dumbfounded.Pang Ming was also furious for a moment, and then decided to rebel against Gu Zang.Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, the sky in Guzang City has changed.The horse iron was chopped down to the ground, and the gate of the city was opened wide.

Pound is still hesitating...

But Pang Ming was overjoyed!

He recognized that the young general was Jiang Jiong.

"Brother, don't miss this opportunity, you won't miss it again... Now that you and my brother have left Xiliang, why don't you take this opportunity to make meritorious deeds."

"This……"

"Brother, stop hesitating."

Gritting his teeth, Pang De snatched the Tiger Roaring Saber from Pang Ming's hand, grabbed Pang Ming's horse, and charged towards Guzang City.

That's right, you've already torn your face, so why are you still hiding it?
Is there any resentment in Pang De's heart?There must be, and it's very big... It's just that he tried his best to suppress his resentment before, after all, he and Ma Teng once had such a master-servant relationship.But now, Ma Tie is dead, and any talk about the relationship between master and servant is false.When Ma Tie ordered the arrow to shoot him, the friendship had vanished.

Without friendship, there are no scruples.

At this point, Pound has no choice.Forget it, let this Guzang City be the gift of my audience to surrender Cao Peng.

In the distance, Cao Peng had just left the camp, and when he saw this scene, he was stunned.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly, without saying a word, he shouted sharply: "The three armies obey the order, follow me to attack Guzang City."

He knew that when the young general chopped down the horse iron, the situation was out of control.

Cao Peng is not that Liu Bei, facing Gu Zang with the city gate open, he absolutely has no reason to reject Gu Zang...

Xiliang is a world that respects martial arts.

What matters here is strength!A little bit of benevolence and morality is not that important.What's more, he and Ma Teng are in a hostile relationship, so why should we pay attention to benevolence and righteousness?Someone wants to offer the city today, if he doesn't take it, he may only harm the other party... Anyway, this Guzang City will be obtained sooner or later, although it may ruin his plan, it is not unacceptable.

Thinking of this, Cao Peng didn't even have time to put on his armor, let alone get Fang Tian's painted halberd.

He rode a horse and charged towards Gu Zang with a big knife in his hand.Behind him, [-] white camel soldiers and [-] flying minions immediately followed and attacked.After a moment of hesitation, Jia Xing ordered Cao Jun to attack Guzang without saying a word.

It seems to be a bit too big to play!
I hope, don't spoil Shi Yuan's important affairs, otherwise Shi Yuan will definitely not give up with me when he comes back...

A wry smile flashed across Jia Xing's face.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Pound took the lead and rushed into the city of Guzang.

The soldiers under Jiang Jiong were fighting fiercely with Xiliang soldiers.They succeeded in sneak attack and opened the city gate.However, Xiliang's soldiers had the upper hand after all, and in the blink of an eye, Jiang Jiong's men gradually fell behind.Pang De rode his horse to the rolling hole of the city gate, jumped off his horse suddenly, and rushed into the chaos army with Wuhu Roaring Knife...

He found that a small number of people had white cloths tied around their arms, presumably they were their own people.

Now that the enemy and the enemy are clearly distinguished, Pound no longer hesitates.The Tiger Roaring Knife was shining brightly, overflowing with aura.All the grievances he had suffered over the past few days exploded in an instant.Pound rushed through the crowd like a mad tiger.Wherever he passed, he saw broken limbs and arms scattered, and blood splattered everywhere, and no one was able to stop him.

"Whoever stops me will die!"

On Pound's honest and honest face, there was a ferocious expression.

Honest people also have a temper!
Although Pound's character is honest and honest, he is even a bit old-fashioned and somewhat loyal.But once he let go of his hands and feet, it was like a different person, becoming extraordinarily ferocious.Immediately afterwards, Pang Ming also rushed into the city gate and snatched the spear from a Xiliang soldier.With a loud roar, he swung his spear and rushed into the crowd.

The two brothers teamed up, and Xiliang soldiers really couldn't resist it.

Those soldiers who were already showing signs of defeat fought bravely as if they had found their backbone after Brother Pound rushed in.In this small city gate, there were shouts of killing everywhere, and blood flowed like a river.Xiliang soldiers were at a loss!The reason why they attacked those soldiers was not so much hostility as an instinctive reaction.

When Pang De and his two rushed over, the Xiliang soldiers were immediately defeated...

At the same time, Jiang Jiong also fell into a bitter battle on the top of the city.

The Xiliang generals panicked for a moment, then immediately surrounded him and beheaded him frantically.Jiang Jiong was a good player, his steel knife made it impervious to the wind and rain, and he just resisted the siege of Xiliang's generals.But after all, he was alone, and after a while, his body was covered with bruises, and he couldn't hold on anymore.At this moment, Pound was drenched in blood, like a blood man, he rushed up the road and rushed to the top of the city.On that road, there were corpses of soldiers from Xiliang all over the place.And Pang De was like a mad tiger, with red eyes and a ferocious expression, he walked a few steps, stepped forward and chopped down two Xiliang generals.

"Ma Teng has no way, a certain one is determined to submit to the court, whoever dares to mess around, Pang Lingming's big knife is unrecognizable!"

The roar echoed across the city.

The generals in Xiliang were frightened into silence by Pound's menacing appearance.

I don't know who it is, Dang threw the weapon in his hand on the ground, "I wanted to surrender a long time ago, but I just suffered from no chance... Today, I am willing to surrender with the general."

"I would like to follow the general and surrender."

Xiliang soldiers were defeated like a mountain.

After Cao Peng's white camel soldiers rushed into Guzang City, they took control of the situation with little effort.

Immediately afterwards, Cao Jun swarmed up.

There was a Xiliang soldier who wanted to rush up to fight, but was stopped.

"Are you crazy? Forgot Cao Jun's arrow attack?"

A group of cavalry rushed into the city at full speed.The knight on the horse, crossing his sword and holding a bow, galloped his horse.When the horses were galloping, Cao Gong's arrows shot out one after another, shooting and killing the Xiliang soldiers who were still fighting on the ground.

Arrow array?

The soldiers from Xiliang gave a chill to Lingling.

Thinking of the overwhelming arrow rain yesterday, the soldiers from Xiliang turned ashen-colored.

That situation was terrible... and these cavalry cavalrymen of cao army were simply astonishing in riding and shooting.They were able to draw bows and shoot arrows effortlessly on horseback. Seeing how relaxed they looked, they were even a bit more proficient than Xiliang soldiers who were proficient in riding and shooting.

The shouts of killing on the top of the city have stopped.

No matter how stupid Xiliang soldiers are, they still know that the situation is over...

The officials have stopped resisting, so why do we fight?Therefore, the Xiliang soldiers threw their weapons on the ground, squatted on the side of the road with their heads in their arms, and shouted loudly: "Don't kill again, I will surrender, I will surrender!"

Cao Peng reined in his horse and glanced around.

Wuwei, Guzang!
This city, which is only 300 years old, was first built in 81 BC... Now, it was captured so easily.

But the problem is, Cao Peng didn't want to take Gu Zang down so early.

He couldn't help but smiled wryly: the battlefield is changing rapidly, and it's really hard to control, but Ma Teng escaped a catastrophe.
