This guy seems to be the strongest!

Taking a deep breath, Cao Peng carried Gan Ning over again. The four of them lay down beside him and covered them with thin blankets.

The breeze blows from the river, and it feels very comfortable to stand on the porch.

Cao Peng took the towel from Huang Yueying's hand and wiped the sweat on his face, "Xiaoluan, Xiaohuan, after you have tidied up, take a rest early."

"yes!"

Buluan and Guo Huan simply agreed.

"Smelly Ah Fu, where did you learn this skill of flirting with women?"

As soon as the two little maids walked away, Cao Peng was grabbed by Huang Yueying's ears. However, Huang Yueying didn't use any force, and her words were more of a coquettish tone. Cao Peng looked like he was in pain, eh eh eh

You leaned over and hugged Huang Yueying in his arms.

The setting sun made Huang Yueying's cheeks blush.

Under the thin spring shirt, the body is tight, and you can still feel the heat of the skin through the clothes...

"Ah, I didn't see anything."

Just when Cao Peng couldn't help but want to kiss Huang Yueying, he suddenly heard a sweet cry. The two quickly separated, and Cao Peng followed the sound and saw that Bu Luan's face was red and he was covering his eyes with his hands.

Huang Yueying lightly hit Cao Peng and tried to calm down her voice, "Xiao Luan, is something wrong?"

"No, it's okay... I just wanted to ask the young master if I need to prepare hangover soup."

Hangover soup?

Cao Peng was startled, and then said: "No, Xiaoluan, you go and have a rest."

"Um."

Bu Luan responded with a sound as loud as a mosquito, turned around, trotted all the way, and disappeared without a trace.

However, being interrupted by her, Cao Peng and Huang Yueying felt a little uncomfortable... The two held hands and strolled to the river embankment to enjoy the beautiful sunset over the long river.

"Afu!"

"Um?"

"Are you worried?"

"What's on your mind?"

"I can feel that you seem to be worried."

Cao Peng was silent for a moment, then exhaled and said: "Actually, it's nothing to worry about. But just now Derun and Zishan analyzed it with me and talked about why Chen Deng appointed me as Hailing Lieutenant... Brother Kan said

, Duke Cao is very likely to send troops at the end of the year."

"Use troops?"

Huang Yueying was startled and then understood.

Cao Cao is going to use troops against Lu Bu!

She thought for a while and said softly: "Does Mr. Cao want to raise an army with Xuzhou?"

"Um!"

"...Actually, this is not surprising. When I was in Jiangxia, I once heard my father say: If Duke Cao wants to conquer the north, he must attack Lu Bu first. Lu Bu has the appearance of a tiger and a tiger. He is capricious and cannot be trusted easily. If

Unless Lu Bu is destroyed, it will be difficult to bring peace to the north."

Cao Peng nodded, "Why don't I know? It's just..."

"Just what?"

"I have been favored."

Huang Yueying was stunned for a moment and looked at Cao Peng in confusion, wondering where he could start talking about "receiving favors from others".

Cao Peng sat down on the river embankment and looked at the river rolling eastward. After a long silence, he said: "Hao Zhao and his two hundred elite soldiers are all thanks to the gift of Marquis Wen. When my brother was in Haixi, he was very powerful.

The situation is embarrassing. We have no soldiers and generals, and we have to face the threat of salt owl and pirates. Without the two hundred elite soldiers like Marquis Wen, even if we can gain a foothold in Haixi, we will have to pay a huge price, and..."

Cao Peng looked at Huang Yueying and said, "When a man is alive, he should keep his grudges clear.

I have been favored by Marquis Wen, but I have to go to war with him, which is not what I want... Therefore, I am a little distressed and don't know what to do."

Cao Peng would definitely not tell Huang Yueying about the charm of Wenhou's residence in Xiapi.

That could be regarded as a secret between him and Diao Chan. What he was worried about was not only the grudges, but also Hao Zhao's attitude. In any case, Hao Zhao was from Bingzhou and had the same hometown friendship with Lu Bu. Besides, two of his subordinates

The Hundred Elite Soldiers are very powerful, and if he cannot express his attitude, it will definitely cause great trouble to Cao Peng. Cao Peng wanted to use Hao Zhao, but he had some hidden worries.

Huang Yueying was silent!

"I have known Bo Dao for a short time. I feel that he is not a repetitive person."

"oh?"

"I can see that you value Hao Zhaoting. Since you value Hao Zhaoting, you must trust him... Either you don't use him, or you kill him and keep those two hundred elite soldiers in your hands. You are worried about gains and losses like this.

, in the end it will only add trouble to yourself.”

Huang Yueying's words made Cao Peng look at her with admiration.

There are not many records about Huang Yueying in history books.

But it can be seen that Zhuge Liang did not have any family entanglements in his life, which is evident in Huang Yueying's methods. Being able to say such decisive words made Cao Peng nod secretly. What is his personality? What can Cao Peng say in his heart?

It's very clear.

Yueying, you are indeed my good wife.

"As for Marquis Lu Wen...he has a kindness to you, and he should repay it.

But a true man must not only be clear about grievances, but also understand the importance. Since you serve under Cao Gong, you should not pay so much attention to personal grievances. You said that Cao Gong has great ambitions! Sooner or later, the north will be unified. If Lu Bu cannot be destroyed as soon as possible,

The people are bound to be trapped in fire and water. Wouldn't that be even worse? If you want to repay kindness, you can choose other methods. Justice is justice, private feelings are private feelings... If you can't distinguish between public and private affairs clearly, and

How to build merit? Ah Fu, I think you should be more decisive."

After hearing this, Cao Peng couldn't help but nod his head.

"I have Yueying, and I will have no worries from now on!"

He held Huang Yueying's slender waist and sat side by side on the river embankment.

The river is surging and the setting sun is like fire.

Under the reflection of the setting sun, the shadows of the two people gradually merged together, without any gap...

The next day, Cao Peng took Gan Ning Bu Zhi and Xia Hou Lan and fifty elite soldiers and rushed to Hailing County.

The distance from Dongling Pavilion to Hailing County is not too far. After about half a day, we arrived in front of the barracks outside Hailing County.

The area of ​​the camp is not large, about three to five acres of land.

On a large fiery red scroll, there were four characters written in large letters, "Hailing Elite Soldiers". However, in the sunlight, it hung down weakly and looked lifeless.

However, the military tents in the camp were well-proportioned.

Although it looks a bit dilapidated from the outside, you can still feel the murderous intention hidden inside.

I remember that at the beginning, this Hailing elite army once protected the entire salt road in Huainan from being disturbed. The legacy of decades of killing and fighting is still there.

Gan Ning couldn't help but praise: "This general is quite a capable man."

Bu Zhi said: "Wang Xu can be regarded as a general. After Hailing was abandoned, he took 500 elite soldiers without relying on food and wages from the state government, and managed to survive until now. Look at the entire Guangling County, there are water thieves everywhere

Bandits. But this most remote place, Hailing, can be peaceful."

“What do they do for a living?”

"Sir, what do you think?"

Cao Peng couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

Last night, he checked the information on Hailing County.

On the surface, Hailing County seems to be peaceful and peaceful. But in fact, this elite group of Hailing soldiers is the largest bandit group in Hailing County.

Think about it, there is no food and wages, and no supplies.

How can these five hundred elite soldiers survive in a small county with only 13,000 people?

People often say that you can live on mountains and water, and you can live on water. If you are a soldier, you are paid, but if you are not paid, you are a thief. This is natural and natural, and it does not seem to be a strange thing. In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, especially after the Yellow Turban Uprising, the situation of officials and bandits uniting was extremely normal.

.If you raise the flag, you are an official and an army, if you put down the flag, you are a bandit. The government is also aware of such things, but most of the time, they are helpless.

Vaguely, there is a very familiar feeling.

How similar are the elite soldiers of Hailing in front of me to the soldiers of Yiyang that I met in Jiu Nu City?

But I don’t know if the elite soldiers of Hailing can be compared with the soldiers of Yiyang. But no matter what, I will make a decision on this army!

An elite soldier who has fought many battles is not easy to find.

Cao Peng glanced at Gan Ning and suddenly said with a smile: "Brother Gan, I want to take control of the central army, but there is no vanguard to open the way."
Chapter completed!
