Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

After the death of Tan Shihuai, the western Xianbei was divided, and Monan was divided into three parts from the east of Yunzhong. Budugen had tens of thousands of people and occupied the area of ​​Yunzhong and Yanmen; The third part is that several small tribes led by the Xianbei in the eastern part of the original alliance are scattered in Liaoxi, Youbeiping, and Yuyang. The eastern Xianbei belongs to the Youzhou forces.

The final conclusion is that the five counties of Dingxiang, Yunzhong, Wuyuan, Shuofang, and Shangjun in Bingzhou fell into the hands of Hu people such as Wuhuan, Huns, Xianbei, and Qiang.

Half of the state is under the control of the barbarians, and the other half has almost no defense force.

The whole Bingzhou was full of wars, and it seemed to have become an abandoned "heinous" place.

In the county guard's mansion, below are civil and military officials who are in a mess, while above is Hanoi prefect Zhang Yang who is kneading his forehead with different hands.

Zhang Yang has a benevolent nature and no threat of punishment. He has become more and more unable to control the chaotic scene like today.

But letting this group of people quarrel like this is not an option after all.

Zhang Yang raised his head, stood up, and shouted: "Masters, gentlemen! Listen to me!"

However, Zhang Yang's words did not change the noisy hall...

"This old man thinks it is right to seek refuge with General Yuan as soon as possible!"

"The county guard and Cao Taiwei have always been friends, and the emperor now has his capital in Xuchang. I still think that it is the best choice to join Cao Taiwei!"

"Ah... bah! Cao Aman is the eunuch, vote for him? This old man can't hold back his old face!"

"Drink! Depressed! Cao Taiwei is now the orthodox of the Han Dynasty, and Yuan Shao's younger brother Yuan Shu has already proclaimed himself emperor. How can he be better?"

"Are you actually discussing who to turn to in front of me?" Zhang Yang's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, but he was very helpless, he could no longer restrain this group of people.

At this moment, a messenger from the outside rushed in, "Report! Report to the sheriff! The Xiongnu camp on the other side of the Yellow River was suddenly attacked by unknown forces!"

The voice of the messenger was no louder than Zhang Yang's voice just now, but as the voice of the messenger came out, the whole hall immediately became surprisingly quiet.

The corner of Zhang Yang's mouth twitched, and then he chewed on the news brought by the messenger.

On the other side of the Yellow River is Luoyang. Since Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang and moved the capital to Chang'an, the entire Yin of Henan has been in a three-way zone.

Still after Cao Cao welcomed the emperor back, the emperor couldn't bear to leave the old city deserted, so he urged Cao Cao to send someone to take over Henan Yin from time to time on weekdays.

Now, before Cao Cao made up his mind whether to take over that hot potato, Liu Bao, the Southern Huns, stepped in first.

"Who? Who would have raided the Huns on the south bank of the Yellow River?"

Chapter 71 Boss Cao, don’t swell, you have Xu Chu and I have Huang Zhong and Wei Yan

The Yellow River Basin is full of wind and sand.

The rushing turbid river, wrapped in a gust of wind, roared and blew away the long hair on the back of Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan's heads.

It has been almost ten days since they came to Henan Yin. Through the scouts' non-stop exploration day and night, they finally figured out the general strength of the Huns stationed on the south bank of the Yellow River.

"On the south bank of the Yellow River, there are several large and small tribes of the Southern Huns scattered.

But among these tribes, there is only one large tribe, and in this largest tribe stands the king's tent representing the left and right kings. "

Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan quietly listened to the news from the scouts.

After a short pause, the scout continued: "Our people have quietly counted, and the Huns have nearly [-] cavalry in total, and they all seem to be elites who are good at cavalry warfare.

In the camp, there were also some women and children who were taken captive by the Huns. Their situation...was miserable. "

Zhao Yun finished listening to the scout's report with a blank face, and then he nodded and replied: "Investigate again!"

"Here!" The scout responded with a clasped fist and retreated.

After thinking for a while, Xia Houlan asked Zhao Yun habitually, although he had some thoughts in his mind, "Zilong, what should we do?"

Zhao Yun turned his head to look at Xia Houlan, his face finally changed.

He smiled and asked Xia Houlan: "You have copied so many military books and received so many teachings from your husband, don't you have some ideas of your own?"

"Yes, but I'm not sure..." Xia Houlan replied with a little confidence.

Zhao Yun said in a warm voice: "It's okay, we can act while confirming your thoughts. When you have enough experience and self-confidence, you can lead the army alone."

Xia Houlan grinned and said, "That's it!"

"So, what's on your mind?"

After pondering for a moment, Xia Houlan said, "The Huns are divided into several tribes, large and small, and the organization is loose, and there must be different delays in communication between them.

Now, the enemy is open and we are in the dark. I think we should take advantage of the fact that the Huns are unprepared, and directly raid their central army's king's tent, and then rush out while other tribes respond to reinforcements! "

Xia Houlan originally thought that Zhao Yun would first comment on his own thoughts like Lu Yan did back then, and then correct one or two before giving a better plan.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Yun actually said directly: "Then do it this way!"

"?" Xia Houlan was still a little confused, he asked with some guilt: "Zilong, don't you think about it anymore?"

"The enemy is clear and we are in the dark, attack quickly, hit its vital points, and leave with one blow..." Zhao Yun nodded to Xia Houlan, and continued: "Your proposal is very good."

Xia Houlan didn't expect to be praised by Zhao Yun the first time he put forward an idea, and his confidence finally gradually rose.

"Then when do we attack?"

Zhao Yun looked in the direction of the Xiongnu tribe, and replied in a flat tone without the slightest wave: "Just before dawn, take the Xiongnu king's tent directly!"

"it is good!"

......

Cao Cao led Xu Chu, Dian Wei, Guo Jia and others back to Chenliu County.

After finally recruiting a fierce general who can rival Dian Wei and Zhao Yun, how could he not show his face in front of Mr. Lu?

After Chenliu County, Zhao Yun and others led the army to leave, the cavalry battalion was vacated.

Cao Xiu, who was sent by Cao Cao to guard the horses for Zhao Yun's cavalry, was also idle.

Although Cao Xiu was dismissed from his official position by Cao Cao because he thought he was clever and risked disaster, he was a descendant of the Cao family who was called "Thousand Li Horse" by Lao Cao, and his ability still lies there.

It may take a month or two for Zhao Yun to come back.

In line with the principle of making the best use of people and things, Lu Yan simply let Cao Xiu temporarily train the newly recruited soldiers in the cavalry camp.

In the afternoon, Lu Yan was inspecting the training results of the recruits, when suddenly a messenger came to report, "Report! General Hussars, the Taiwei is on his way!"

"Boss Cao's visit is back?" Lu Yan was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and then said to Cao Xiu beside him, "Wen Lie, come with me to meet Cao Gong."

Cao Xiu was still a little scared of Cao Cao, but he still swallowed and clasped his fists in response: "Here!"

Before Lu Yan and Cao Xiu walked out of the camp, Cao Cao's hearty voice came over: "Hahaha! Mr. Lu, come and see my new general!"

Listening to that voice, if you want to describe Boss Cao's current mood, it's like a child who just got a new favorite toy and can't wait to share and show off with the person he trusts the most.

After meeting Cao Cao, Lu Yan also saw his new hero.

He is eight feet long, has a waist of ten girth, and has a majestic appearance. Lu Yan instantly thought of a fierce general under Cao Boss in history, "Xu Chu!"

However, Lu Yan concealed his expression very well. He pretended to be surprised, then cupped his hands and said to Cao Cao: "Then Yan will congratulate Duke Cao."

"Hey." Hearing Lu Yan's congratulations, Boss Cao had a sense of accomplishment, but he always felt that something was missing.

After inspecting the cavalry camp with his head, Boss Cao finally sighed, "It's a pity that Zilong is not here, otherwise Zhongkang would be able to compete with Zilong."

After Xu Chu heard Cao Cao's emotion, he immediately asked, "My lord, is Zhao Yun really that powerful?"

Before Cao Cao could answer, Dian Wei spoke first, "Very powerful!"

"How powerful?"

Dian Wei thought for a while and replied: "I can draw with him in the foot fight, but I will definitely lose in the horse fight."

"It's a pity that such a person can't meet immediately!" Xu Chu said with regret.

Originally, Lu Yan wanted to fulfill Boss Cao's petty vanity, but you called the call as soon as you came and wanted to discuss with Zhao Yun directly.

Do you look down on Tai Shici and the others?Although it seems that Tai Shici really can't beat Xu Chu...

After hearing the "whispering words" between Dian Wei and Xu Chu, Lu Yan decided that he should not indulge Boss Cao too much, as he, Lao Cao, would easily become inflated.

Lu Yan cupped his hands again, and said to Cao Cao: "Grandpa Cao, it just so happens that Yan has recruited two new warriors recently, why don't you let them fight this brave brother?"

Cao Cao was stroking his beard proudly, when he suddenly heard that Lu Yan had received the votes of two more warriors, he couldn't help pulling out a few of his beards in surprise.

"Hiss...it hurts..." Boss Cao rubbed his chin, and then asked, "Where did you find two more warriors?"

"Oh, they are two of the five warriors I sent people to look for."

When Cao Cao heard this, his eyes widened. He suddenly remembered that Lu Yan had entrusted Cao Ren and Cao Hong to send people to find the brave general.

"Dian Wei and Tai Shici are the two on the five-person list, and the other two who can be on the same list as them... Hiss!" Boss Cao felt that he was instantly outnumbered.

But Dian Wei became excited, "Sir, you found two more people? Can you ask them to come out and meet?"

"Of course!" Lu Yan nodded, and then said to Cao Xiu beside him, "Wen Lie, go and call Huang Zhong and Wei Yan over, and just say that Duke Cao wants to see them."

"Obey!" Cao Xiu meticulously clasped his fists in salute, then saluted Cao Cao, and then quickly ran towards his mount.

At this moment, Cao Cao suddenly opened his mouth and shouted to Cao Xiu who was running:

"Wen Lie, work hard with Mr. Lu, I hope one day in the future I can see you become a general like Zi Xiao and Zi Lian who can take charge on their own!"

Cao Xiu's running body stopped suddenly, and then he suddenly turned around and knelt down on one knee, his voice choked with sobs, and he responded loudly: "Nephew, I will live up to my uncle's expectations!"

Chapter 72 I deserve it, Lao Cao, soaring into the sky!

In the past two days, under Lu Yan's conditioning, Huang Xu's body and complexion have improved significantly.

But as Lu Yan said before, Huang Xu's condition has only improved a little bit, and it's really beyond Lu Yan's current level of medical skills to completely cure him.

But it is better to have hope than to be in despair all the time. At least now Huang Zhong can calm down and wait for Hua Tuo's news.

When Cao Xiu found Huang Zhong, Huang Zhong had finished feeding his son Huang Xu the medicine.

Cao Xiu came to the door of the room, respectfully clasped his fists and said to Huang Zhong: "General Huang, Taiwei Cao is in the cavalry barracks, Lu Hussars please go and see him as soon as possible!"

As soon as Huang Zhong heard that Boss Cao had come back, he helped Huang Xu to lie down, and immediately got up and replied, "My little brother has informed you, I'm going there now!"

After finishing talking to Cao Xiu, Huang Zhong turned around and said to Huang Xu, who was full of curiosity, "My father is going to visit the lord, Xuer, you should rest first. If you feel uncomfortable, you can call the door. foreign servants."

"Father, don't worry, I'm in much better health now." Huang Xu nodded obediently and replied.

"The horse is ready for you, General Huang, let's go immediately!" Cao Xiu urged again.

Cao Xiu was very considerate. He knew that Huang Zhong didn't have a mount, so he specially arranged a horse for him when he came.

Huang Zhong tucked the quilt up for Huang Xu again, said "Thank you little brother!" to Cao Xiu, and then strode out of the house.

Cao Xiu notified Huang Zhong, and the people he sent to look for Wei Yan also conveyed the news of Lu Yan's summoning almost at the same time.

Cao Cao and Lu Yan were not kept waiting for too long. About a quarter of an hour later, Huang Zhong and Wei Yan arrived outside the cavalry camp together.

"Master Wen!"

"Brother!"

After Huang Zhong and Wei Yan met, they nodded tacitly, and then dismounted and walked into the barracks together.

In the camp,

From afar, Huang Zhong and Wei Yan saw two strong men fighting fiercely, but they were all fighting with bare hands, obviously they were only engaged in limited sparring.

Next to him, Lu Yan stood with a stocky middle-aged man and a frail young man.

Seeing how they were chatting and laughing, Huang Zhong and Wei Yan thought to themselves: "That short and strong man is probably Cao Cao Cao Mengde, the current Taiwei."

When they came to Lu Yan and Cao Cao, Huang Zhong and Wei Yan clasped their fists and bowed together, saying, "General Zhechong Huang Zhong (General Yamen Wei Yan) has met the Taiwei and Mr.!"

General Zhechong and General Yamen, these are the positions that Lu Yan assigned to them respectively.

Huang Zhong and Wei Yan were already Zhonglang generals when they were under Liu Biao. In order to commend and encourage them to travel thousands of miles to serve, Lu Yan promoted them to become generals.

Although the positions of these two generals are not high, they do not have their own independent army.

But promotion in the army depends entirely on military exploits, and with the current situation of chaotic warfare in the world and their own abilities, they don't worry about not having the opportunity to be promoted.

Hearing that Huang Zhong and Wei Yan were coming, Dian Wei and Xu Chu, who were doing warm-up exercises, also stopped fighting, and Qi Qi turned to look at Huang Zhong and Wei Yan.

Huang Zhong is in his 40s this year, and he is in the prime of life, but because he is worried about his son's illness, his temples have become a little gray, and his face has a lot of wrinkles, making him look old-fashioned overall.

But Huang Zhong has a strong body and a long breath. After a closer look, Dian Wei and Xu Chu knew that this man in front of him was a master no less than himself!

And Wei Yan looks even better.

He is nine feet tall, his face is like a jujube, and his eyes are like stars. If he grows a long beard, he and Guan Yu will be like brothers.
