Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

This year's New Year's Eve, the Hussar General's Mansion was extraordinarily lively.

After more than a year of buffer time, Cao Cao finally took Cai Yan into his mansion. It seems that this talented woman who is well-known in the Kanto region has finally fallen into Cao Cao's clutches.

Although there are fewer Cao Cao and Cai Yan this year than last year, there are two more handsome young men, Lu Xun and Lu Ji.

Perhaps the two of them were precocious because of the hardships they had gone through, but they still retained their youthful nature after all.

Young people like to make noise.

Huang Xu and Guo Yi had two more playmates, and the Hussar General's Mansion naturally became lively.

Huang Zhong is a very good father and husband at home.

At the moment, he is bringing his wife and daughter with him, and he is preparing the ingredients together with the Guo family's wife. This year is still the same as usual, and it is still hot pot.

Lu Yan was alone, and the population of the house was simple, so naturally there were not so many rules for keeping the year old.The adults sat around the big round table, while the younger ones played wantonly outside the hall.

Lu Yan sat in the lobby with Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, Zhao Yun, Tai Shici, Dian Wei and others, chatting while looking at Xia Houlan, who was called the king of children outside, commanding Huang Xu, Guo Yi, Lu Xun, Lu Xun, and others. Snowball fights.

Huang Xu's body has recovered very well, not only is he much stronger now, but his height has also increased sharply.

Among the four cubs, Huang Xu has the strongest strength and the best endurance due to his martial arts training, and he is not afraid of being beaten because of his rough skin and thick flesh.With his ingenious cooperation with Guo Yi, he obviously suppressed the two brothers Lu Xun and Lu Ji.

In order to prevent himself from losing, Lu Xun begged Huang Wudie, and under three-on-two, the battle finally returned to balance.

Guo Jia looked at the two brothers Lu Xun, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Changsheng, these two brothers may not be as innocent as they appear."

After hearing Guo Jia's question, Xi Zhicai also looked at Lu Yan, waiting for Lu Yan to express his own thoughts.

In fact, they were not worried that Jiangdong Lu's family would have any dissent, they were just worried that Lu Yan would be taken advantage of by others because of his kindness.At the beginning, Guo Jia saw this weakness of Lu Yan, so he used Lu Lingqi to teach Lu Yan a "hard" lesson.

Hearing this, Lu Yan smiled slightly and said, "The Lu family gave up their foundation in Jiangdong, gave up all their contacts, and migrated to Xuchang a long way away. All they want is stability."

"But they are also from famous families, if you get too close to them..." Xi Zhicai said rather worriedly.

Lu Yan sighed: "It is impossible to completely eliminate the family, all we can do is suppress and balance."

"That's right, even if a group of aristocratic families fall, new ones will emerge. The offspring of you and me may also develop into an aristocratic family. Zhicai, you should not force yourself too much." Guo Jia Xiang Xizhicai comforted him.

Xi Zhicai nodded, but still said unwillingly: "I also know the truth, but I just feel unwilling..."

Lu Yan opened his mouth and continued: "As we discussed before, although the aristocratic family will not disappear completely, it will be supervised.

If they can accept the supervision of all levels and be judged by those in power and the people at any time, then the aristocratic family will not be too much of a threat. "

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the aristocratic family was so powerful that it could even despise the imperial power.

However, under the collapse of the Tang Dynasty that night and the social turmoil, the old elites and aristocratic families gradually disappeared.

After the founding of the Song Dynasty, the rulers became more aware of the harmfulness of a large family that had been officials for many generations to the concentration of imperial power, so they further strengthened the selection of talents through the imperial examination system and established the concept of disciples of the emperor, so the wealthy families finally gradually disappeared in the long river of history.

The disappearance mentioned here refers to the kind of powerful family with great influence, but the family still exists.

Even in the Huaxia of later generations, there is still family power, but in front of the state and various regulatory agencies, they can no longer make waves, and their influence cannot be compared with those famous families before and after the Tang Dynasty.

Lu Yan deeply understands these principles, and he has been working hard towards this goal.

Lu Xun and Lu Ji now made it clear that they wanted to hug the thigh of a man with the same surname, Lu Yan.

Lu Yan knew it very well, but he didn't feel disgusted either.

Because he knows that in the not-too-distant future, as long as he and others complete the reforms, then with the concentration of imperial power and the improvement of the talent selection system, it will be as difficult as heaven to have a thousand-year-old powerful family with great influence.

The second year of Jian'an finally ushered in the end, and the third year of Jian'an, let us roll up again!

Chapter 195 Yuan's Adviser, -2

Just after the second year of Jian'an, the atmosphere in Hanoi County began to become weird.

The location of Hanoi County is exactly in the middle of the sphere of influence of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, and there will be a battle between the two sooner or later.As the relationship between Cao and Yuan became increasingly tense, Zhang Yang, who was caught between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, became increasingly sad.

Recently, there seemed to be a lot of rumors all over the place overnight.

There are rumors that Zhang Yang intends to abandon Hanoi County and go to Lu Bu; there are also rumors that some of Zhang Yang's subordinates are plotting to kill Zhang Yang and intend to defect to Yuan Shao; what's more, Zhang Yang already knows who has evil intentions and is deliberately showing slack. They looked like they were ready to catch a good time and wipe them all out...

Based on the plan of the five counselors, Cao Cao decided to act first, preparing to erode Zhang Yang secretly, hoping to take Hanoi County before Yuan Shao.

There is no better way to defeat an enemy than to disintegrate it from within.

Under the leadership of Yan Feng, the Yingwei Jiazi Battalion began to carry out frequent activities in Hanoi County. .

All kinds of rumors and rumors come from their hands.

What made Zhang Yang and his subordinates feel guilty most was that some of these rumors happened to hit their hearts.

The power of gossip should not be underestimated, especially when the parties involved have ghosts in their hearts.

Sure enough, not long after, something happened in Hanoi County!

Zhang Yang's general, Yang Chou, had long had the heart of rebellion.

Recently, the rumors have been spread in earnest, and Yang Chou's sense of urgency has deepened day by day. He is very afraid that Zhang Yang will find out his ulterior motives, and thus lose his life.

Later, the shadow guard discovered Yang Chou's problem, so he took the initiative to contact him, and gave him strong support and generous promises.

Yang Chou finally accepted the shadow guard's arrangement, set up a trap to ambush Zhang Yang, and publicly stated that he would join Cao Cao, intending to lure Cao Cao into Hanoi County.

However, just when Yingwei and Yang Chou felt that they were stable, Zhang Yang's subordinate Shi Xuehong, in order to avenge his old claim, joined forces with the rest of the soldiers to kill Yang Chou while he was lax.

After Xue Hong killed Yang Chou, he set up troops and shot dogs, and even announced to the outside world that they had taken refuge in General Yuan Shao.

The shadow guard saw that the situation was getting out of control, so he quickly sent the news back to Chen Liu, hoping that Cao Cao could dispatch troops as soon as possible, otherwise, once Yuan Shao reacted, Hanoi would become Yuan Shao's possession.

Guo Jia didn't dare to neglect, and immediately handed over the news to Cao Cao.

Hanoi County is a very important strategic hub on the north bank of the Yellow River.Its importance is self-evident.

Cao Cao did not have the problem of vacillating like Yuan Shao. He assembled an army immediately, and in April of the third year of Jian'an, he sent Cao Ren, Shi Huan, Le Jin, Xu Huang and others totaling [-] troops to cross the Yellow River and approach the enemy. dog.

When Cao Cao's army came to attack, Xue Hong led the troops to defend Shegou, and at the same time sent people to the north to seek Yuan Shao's help.

However, all the messengers sent by Xue Hong to ask for help were robbed and killed by the shadow guards.

Xue Hong, who couldn't wait for the reinforcements for a long time, was finally broken by Cao Ren and Shi Huan when Yuan Shao reacted on his own.

After Shegou City was broken, Xue Hong committed suicide by slaying himself, and the rest of the generals surrendered to Cao Cao under the leadership of Wei Zhong.

Hanoi has always been Zhang Yang's territory, and the remaining Xue Hong forces after Zhang Yang's internal annexation also turned to Yuan Shao instead of Cao Cao.

Forcibly occupying a territory that has not been supported by the people will definitely be detrimental to the upcoming Cao Yuan war.

But Wei Zhong, who led the crowd to surrender, is very familiar with the situation in Hanoi County, and he also has some ability and reputation.

Instead of being the overlord himself, it is better to let Wei Zhonglai be the prefect of Hanoi, and stabilize Hanoi County as soon as possible, so that Cao Cao can free up his hands and concentrate on dealing with Yuan Shao.

......

When Yuan Shao learned that Hanoi County had fallen into the hands of Cao Cao, he immediately became furious... You Cao Aun, you even put your hand into Lao Tzu's trouser pocket, what is your intention?

In a rage, Yuan Shao immediately summoned his civil and military officials to discuss a plan to attack Cao Cao.

But on this bad head, Ju Shou, who had just been released from prison, stood up again.

Ju Shou was also the first to jump out and raise objections to Yuan Shao. It has to be said that Tietouwa is really tough.

Jushou stood up, cupped his hands and said to Yuan Shao, "My lord! We have been fighting with Gongsun Zan for years, and the people are suffering, and there is no surplus food in the warehouse. With the continuous war, the people are taxed heavily. This is an internal worry that we need to solve urgently! Yichen I see, we should learn from Cao Cao's emphasis on agriculture and commerce, and at the same time lighten the burden on the common people and recharge their batteries."

At this time, Tian Feng also stood up and offered his advice: "My lord, what you said is true. And when we are recuperating, we can also station troops in Liyang, manage the northern part of the Yellow River, and reorganize our troops. At the same time, we You can send troops across the Yellow River to outflank and harass Cao Cao's border areas, making him restless day and night.

Cao Cao is weakening from exhaustion, but we are growing stronger while recuperating... Only three years later, the victory or defeat will be decided! "

While recuperating and resting, they kept harassing Cao Cao. It has to be said that Ju Shou and Tian Feng's strategy was very safe.

However, they overlooked a fatal point, that is, the development speed under Cao Cao's rule is far faster than that under Yuan Shao's rule.

The judge saw this, so he stood up and objected: "Master, Lu Yan is under Cao Cao's command, and he is very good at management. Under his governance, a weak county in Yanzhou is now rich in the world! It's not true I let other people's ambition destroy my prestige, I am afraid that in terms of development speed alone, we really can't compare with Cao Cao!"

Jushou and Tian Feng thumped in their hearts, and after looking at each other, they secretly said badly: "Oops! How did you forget that person!"

Sure enough, Guo Tu, who had always been hostile to Jushou and Tian Feng, stood up.

Jushou Tianfeng made a rare mistake. How could Guo Tu let go of such a good opportunity?

Guo Tu glanced at Tian Feng and Ju Shou, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.Then, he cupped his hands and saluted Yuan Shao, saying: "My lord, what Zheng Nan said is the truth.

Think about it, what was Cao Cao like after he defeated Dong Zhuo?What's the situation now?

Then Lu Yan's Wenzhi martial arts can be said to be rare in 500 years, so give him three years?

It's just a big joke! "

Seeing that Tian Feng and Ju Shou were speechless, Guo Tu took advantage of the victory and chased after him: "Actually, with your current military strength and wise and powerful abilities, my lord, it is not easy to defeat Cao Cao, who has not yet fully risen. ? If we really wait until three years later when Cao Cao's wings are full, I'm afraid the outcome will be uncertain!"

Speaking of this, Guo Tu began to get angry: "Guo is so stupid, he can still think of this...Gong Yu and Yuan Hao have always regarded themselves as resourceful people, why did they miss such crucial information? I'm afraid, you are It's deliberate, isn't it?"

"Guo Tu! You're spitting blood!!" Ju Shou started to get mad again...

Yuan Shao rubbed his aching forehead, and said impatiently: "Put Jushou Tianfeng in prison, and when they realize their mistake, they will release him."

Ju Shou: "My lord, you can't believe all the words of a villain! My lord!"

Tian Feng: "..."

"Fork out!"

Chapter 196 The Eve of Guandu ([-])

Jushou and Tian Feng advised Yuan Shao to send troops, but because of their own negligence, Guo Tu and others took the opportunity to enter the prison, and then both were thrown into prison.

Not only that, Guo Tu also said to Yuan Shao: "My lord, why does Jushou dare to yell at the hall repeatedly? The subordinates think that it is precisely because Jushou supervises and controls the three armies, the military power is too great, the prestige is too high, and it is difficult to control, so he thinks you are not If you dare to do anything to him, you will have the confidence to commit crimes repeatedly!"

When Yuan Shao heard the words, he immediately felt that what Guo Tu said was very reasonable, so he replied: "You are right, the power of the three armed forces of the Supervisory Command is indeed too great."

After thinking for a while, Yuan Shao immediately ordered: "The supervisor of the three armies will be dismantled as the three governors, Ju Shou will still lead the way, and Guo Tu and Chun Yuqiong will each command an army!"

"Ah?!" Guo Tu didn't expect that he would get unexpected joy with his casual words. He immediately bowed his head and bowed, and he and Chunyu Qiong were very happy and grateful: "Thank you, my lord! I will do my best to my lord." !"

Looking at Guo Tu and others who had won a complete victory today, Xu You who was beside him suddenly let out a sigh.

In fact, he and the judge's position are more neutral, and when discussing matters, they are more concerned about the matter than the person.

Compared with Guo Tu, Feng Ji and others, Xu You and Shen Pei still recognize Ju Shou and Tian Feng's talents more.

But today's sentence sent Jushou and Tian Feng to jail, and also created a good opportunity for Guo Tu and others to attack political opponents...

Before the war broke out, Xu You couldn't help but sighed because his family lost a supervisor and a counselor first.

The hall was very quiet. Although Xu You's sigh was small, it was still heard by everyone. .

Yuan Shao's face darkened, and he asked Xu You: "Xu Zijiang, do you have something to say?"

Xu You glanced at the complacent Guo Tu with a flushed face, took a step, walked to the center of the hall, and said, "My lord, I have no objection to your decision."

"Then why are you sighing?" Yuan Shao's tone revealed displeasure. If Xu You dared to intercede for Tian Feng and Ju Shou, maybe the three of them could have a table fighting the landlord in prison today.

But Xu You is tactful, so naturally he would not touch Yuan Shao's bad luck at this time.

Xu You's thoughts turned, and then he shook his head pretending to be deep, and replied: "My lord, I sigh because I thought of your brother, Yuan Shu."

Yuan Shu has already burped his fart, why do you still want him?

Yuan Shao was a little puzzled, so he asked, "Gaolu has already confessed in front of his ancestors, why do you mention him?"

"If Yuan Gonglu was here, how dare Cao Cao look north?"

"That's Yuan Shu's own death. He dared to proclaim himself emperor in spite of the world's displeasure. How could we help? Besides, my lord had to deal with Gongsun Zan with all his strength. How could he have the energy and manpower to help Yuan Shu?" Feng Ji defended Yuan Shao. road.

"Yuan Tu said so. That's why You just lamented Cao Cao's cunning and cunning."

But Yuan Shao didn't want Xu You to just get away with it, so he asked: "Since you have such a far-reaching thought, then have you thought of any way to deal with Cao Cao?"

Ask the point!

Xu You straightened up, confident, with a confident smile on his face, and said: "My lord, I have thought a lot recently, and I have some ideas."

"Oh? Let's hear it!" Yuan Shao's curiosity was aroused.

However, Xu You suddenly showed some hesitation, and asked: "Master, I have a question, I don't know whether to ask it or not..."

"Mother-in-law and mother-in-law are not your Xu Zijiang's style. If you want to ask anything, just ask directly!"

Xu You nodded, calmed down his emotions, and then asked, "Dare to ask my lord, are you secretly instigating the chief bookkeeper Geng Bao to...find a basis for you?"

"Wow!" What do you call it?Of course proclaiming himself emperor!
