“Where does joy come from?”

Cao Peng looked at Fazheng and Pang Tong with a confused look on his face, not quite understanding what they meant.

In fact, Cao Peng was far inferior to Pang Tong when it came to understanding people's thoughts. He couldn't understand why Cao Cao asked him to go back to Yecheng to pay homage to him. What was gratifying was that Cao Cao asked him to go back to Yecheng for an audience. The matters in Guanzhong had not yet been settled. At this time,

Wouldn't it be a delay in important matters if he went back? Shi Tao was about to arrive in Hanzhong and needed his strong support.

Pang Tong smiled and said: "Sir, Guanzhong is not a place where we can stay for a long time."

"how do I say this?"

How come this pass has become a ‘place of right and wrong’ again?

Pang Tong and Fazheng sat down and took a sip of tea. The tea was Mengding tea from Yizhou, which was sent to Chang'an from Hanzhong.

In fact, the habit of drinking tea has existed as early as the Qin and Han Dynasties.

However, due to various reasons, it has not been widely promoted. Mengding tea is mainly concentrated in the Xichuan area, and has not been roasted or fried. The method of drinking it is also different from the way Cao Peng was familiar with in his previous life. In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, sencha was the main drink.

, various condiments will also be added. It is somewhat similar to the way the British drank tea in later generations, but the condiments added are very different.

Cao Peng didn't know how to bake or stir-fry, but that didn't stop him and asked people to cook it with spring water.

Without adding any auxiliary ingredients, you can simply enjoy the sweetness of this tea. Therefore, his tea drinking habit is unacceptable to many people. However, Fazheng and Pang Tong liked it very much, and even asked for a lot from Cao Peng.

"Young Master, do you think that with the death of Wei Cong and Yang Fan, the turmoil in Guanzhong will be settled?"

"how?"

"The Jingzhao Wei family and the Hongnong Yang family have been powerful men in Guanzhong for hundreds of years.

Although their death was self-destruction, it would definitely cause a violent shock to the Guanzhong clan. On the surface, this matter had nothing to do with the young master, but was done by Jia Liangzhou. Don’t forget, Jia Xu was born in Liangzhou.

Zhou, after all, is inextricably related to Guanzhong. The powerful people in Guanzhong may not pursue his problem, but in their hearts, they will definitely have some inexplicable resistance to you, young master."

"What does this have to do with me?"

Pang Tong smiled and said, "Wei Duan Wei Kang died at the hands of whose hands?"

Although the Yang family had no relationship with the young master, Yang Xiu died at the hands of the king. This debt must be remembered on the young master's head. The northwest is peaceful and the river is stable, and it will inevitably usher in a stage of prosperity... But

The young master staying in Chang'an is ultimately a threat to those powerful people. They will try every means to drive the young master away so as not to make the same mistake again... It is a good time for the young master to leave after this matter."

If you leave, you can make Guanzhong and Northwest more stable!

What's the point?

There is chaos in the northwest, I will put it down.

This has just settled down and I have to leave?

Cao Peng also felt a little confused at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he also felt that it made some sense...

Looking back on him since his rebirth, he has been like a disaster star.

Wherever you go, war is bound to break out. From Haixi at first, to Luoyang later, to Guandu, Hexi, Nanyang, Wuling and this time back to the northwest. Cao Peng grew up as a man who didn't know much about military affairs.

The evolution of human beings to this day and the invincible famous generals is indeed a bit weird...

Pang Tong is right. If he continues to stay in Guanzhong, it may not be a good thing.

He was so strong that he made everyone fear him.

The powerful people in Guanzhong were worried that Cao Peng would plunder the interests of the northwest, so they rose up to resist. Since he had decided to hand over the interests of Liangzhou, why should he be attached to Chang'an? As long as his interests in Hexi County could be guaranteed, other things were not important. However, he

With this move, what will be the situation in Hanzhong?

As if he was aware of Cao Peng's inner thoughts, Fa Zheng said: "Young master, you don't have to worry about the Xichuan affairs... This Xichuan affairs must be taken over by you in the end. The king ordered Guangyuan to station in Hanzhong, and he has clearly expressed his intention. However,

I thought your Majesty would never launch a war against Xichuan within a year.

In recent years, wars have been too frequent.

The Battle of Youzhou, the Battle of Jingzhou, and the recent Battle of the Xiongnu River...

In the past few years, the king mobilized no less than a million soldiers and horses, and spent countless supplies and food. Although the weather has been good in various places and the treasury is full in the past few years, facing such a huge consumption, I am afraid it is still a bit tight.

In particular, the king captured Bingzhou, drove away the Xiongnu, recaptured Shuofang, and expanded the territory thousands of miles!

Although northern Xinjiang is desolate and sparsely populated, hundreds of thousands of people still need a large amount of materials to appease them. Similarly, the merging of states to stabilize will also require a long process. The energy and materials required for this must be staggering. I am afraid that it will overwhelm Jizhou and Qingzhou.

The two state treasuries may not be able to stabilize northern Xinjiang.

Not to mention, there is also Jiangdong Sun Quan, who is eyeing him.

Under such a situation, the king will definitely not start a war within a year... or even need a longer period of recuperation. Only when the northern border is completely stabilized can the king start a war in the southwest.

I'm afraid it's the king's plan to transfer the young master out of Guanzhong!"

Cao Peng frowned and was silent.

He tapped the table with his fingers rapidly and said after a while: "What Xiaozhi means is that the king wants Liu Zhang and Liu Bei to fight?"

Pang Tong and Fazheng looked at each other, smiled and nodded.

Liu Bei is not the kind of person who can stay under others for a long time. He is ambitious, clever, and knows how to win people's hearts. In the battle of Jingzhou, Liu Bei lost his troops and lost Guan Yu. However, there are still people like Zhang Fei and Chen Dao beside him.

With the help of Zhuge Liang, once he regains his strength, he will not be willing to surrender.

And what about Liu Zhang?

In the past, due to the collapse of people's livelihood and the rebellion of South and Central Powers, it was somewhat difficult to resist.

So he invited Liu Bei to Sichuan and ordered him to take charge of Nanzhong. According to the news from Li Ru from Chengdu, Liu Zhang had ordered Liu Ba to restore people's livelihood and thoroughly investigate the culprits. Li Ru has now temporarily stopped issuing bad coins and is waiting.

The timing was right to make the final blow. If Liu Zhang wanted to restore people's livelihood, it would take a long time to achieve success.

Now that Hanzhong has been lost and Cao Peng is in Guanzhong, it will put great pressure on Liu Zhang.

In this way, he will cooperate more closely with Liu Bei. There are many famous generals in Xichuan. If the two cooperate for a long time, it is really difficult to tell the result with Liu Bei's methods. But if Cao Peng withdraws from Guanzhong, it will create an illusion for Liu Zhang

.That means Cao Cao has no intention of using troops against Xichuan immediately... In this way, Liu Zhang, who regards Yizhou as his own, will never sit back and watch Liu Bei grow. And Liu Bei will also work hard to expand his living space... Between the two of them,

Conflicts are bound to occur and eventually turn into conflict.

Although Cao Peng was not in Xichuan, with Li Ru in charge, it was as if he was in charge of Chengdu himself.

Since Cao Cao is not planning to use troops against Xichuan immediately, the significance of his staying in Chang'an is indeed not very big.

It's a good time to leave Guanzhong at this time.

But he was inevitably a little unwilling in his heart. He shook his head and laughed at himself: "I am the king with a gun, and I can drill it wherever needed.

That's all, it doesn't matter if I leave, I can spend less time thinking about it.

I just don’t know who will take over Guanzhong after I leave, so as not to destroy my layout in Hanzhong."

Pang Tong heard this and laughed!

"Young master, don't worry. From my point of view, the candidates for this division lieutenant have two aspects.

The first is to select from Guanzhong, Zhang Ji and Yang Fu are the most likely... The second is to be appointed by the king. If so, the person who succeeds the young master must be able to know the young master's thoughts and even have a very close relationship with the young master. I just said

After thinking about it carefully, if the king appoints him, the most likely candidate to succeed the young master is probably Chen Qun and Chen Changwen... If it is really him, Guangyuan is not in danger."

Shi Tao is from Yingchuan.

Chen Qun is also from Yingchuan...

Now he is the Prime Minister's Mansion to the West Cao. Although his official position is not high, he is quite trusted by Cao Cao.

If it is really Chen Qun, then Cao Peng can rest assured!

Putting aside his relationship with Chen Qun, Chen Qun had no foundation in Guanzhong and no experience in commanding troops.

If he comes to Chang'an, he will definitely look for help.

In this case, the governor of Hanzhong Shi Tao and the governor of Longxi Xu Shu, who are close friends with him, will become the focus of winning over. The governor of Hexi Huang Zhong and the southern captain Hao Zhao will also be attracted by Chen Qun because of their relationship with Cao Peng.

valued.

In this way, the forces in the northwest will achieve a balanced situation.

The powerful people in Guanzhong, the Liangzhou families, and the powerful families in the Central Plains... coupled with Zao Zhi, the governor of Wudu, Cao Xiu, the western captain, and Zhang He and others stationed in Wudu, can form an effective check and balance.

Cao Peng figured out the key and immediately felt much more relaxed.

"In that case, let's pack up and head to Yecheng in ten days."

"Who are you taking with you on this trip?"

"You two, and You Chang. Zilong and his wife have returned, so naturally they will accompany me, as well as Shasha, Sun Shao and Xiao Ai. Wenwu, I plan to let him go to Hanzhong to assist Shi Tao and serve as a military commander.

.

Well, that’s pretty much it, do you have any other recommendations?”

Pang Tong said: "Young master will definitely be promoted when he returns to Yecheng this time.
To be continued...
