Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

After thinking for a moment, Zhuge Jin felt a sudden change in his heart, and said: "Since ancient times, the old and the young have been orderly, and it is most likely to cause problems when abolishing the old and setting up the young.

Moreover, although the eldest son is a bit dull, he has inherited the benevolence of the master and can give the people of Jingzhou a piece of pure land.

Therefore, the subordinates still hope that the lord will think twice before acting! "

Coincidentally, at this time, a little girl serving tea came over and heard what Zhuge Jin said to Liu Biao.

After the maid forced herself to calm down and put the teapot on the table, she hurried to the backyard immediately.

As soon as she walked into Cai's room, the servant girl shouted eagerly: "Ma'am, it's not good, Ma'am!"

The lady that the maid mentioned was Cai Shi, Cai Mao's older sister and the birth mother of Liu Biao's youngest son, Liu Cong.

After entering the room, the servant girl saw that Mrs. Cai was sitting by the window teaching her son Liu Cong how to practice calligraphy, and immediately came to Mrs. Cai's ear cautiously, and whispered: "Madam, then Zhuge Jin and the master talked about establishing an heir!"

The Cai family comes from the well-known Cai family in Jingzhou.

Seeing the flustered look of the little girl, she already guessed in her heart that Zhuge Jin might have said something unfavorable to her.

But Liu Cong was still young, and she didn't want him to be exposed to these dark sides too early, so she said to Liu Cong: "Cong'er, you continue to practice calligraphy, go back for your mother."

"Okay mother, you go to work first."

Liu Cong was very well-behaved, after Cao Shi touched his head, he signaled the little maid to go out and talk with her.

When they came to the courtyard outside, Mrs. Cai asked the servant girl, "Tell me, what did Zhuge Jin say to the master?"

The little maid hurriedly repeated what Zhuge Jin said to Liu Biao. Although Cai had already prepared herself, she still felt a little worried.

Zhuge Jin is the nephew of Liu Biao's old friend Zhuge Xuan, and he holds a lot of weight in Liu Biao's heart.

Moreover, in recent years, Liu Biao has begun to be on guard against the Cai family, the Kuai family and other families, which has to make Cai some hidden worries.

Cai took off the bracelet calmly, handed it to the servant girl, and said, "You did a good job... If there is any important news in the future, remember to notify me as soon as possible."

The servant girl received a great reward, she immediately thanked her repeatedly and withdrew.

In the huge backyard, Mrs. Cai stood alone in the yard for a long time, her eyes were flickering, and she didn't know what she was thinking...

Chapter 249 Yuan Shao rises again, stationed troops in Cangting

In November of the third year of Jian'an.

Cao Ren and Xu Huang's army arrived in Hanoi County. Yuan Shang, a high-ranking cadre who had been attacking Shanyang for a long time, saw that Cao Jun and Yuan Jun had arrived, so he had to retreat.

However, nearly half of the land in Hanoi County has been occupied by Yuan Jun. With this buffer zone, it may be difficult for Cao Ren and others to threaten Jizhou from Hanoi County. At least most of Yuan Shao's goals have been achieved.

After learning the lesson of rushing forward last time, Yuan Shao plans to take every step this time.

First solve the worries of Hanoi County, and then gather troops and horses, and wait for the opportunity to go south to attack Cao Cao again.

At this time, Yuan Xi, who had returned to Youzhou, assembled another [-] troops and marched south into Jizhou.

Adding the strength of Gao Gan, Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan, Yuan Shao's capable soldiers reached more than 17.

It's just that the 17 soldiers and horses are Yuan Xi, Gao Gan guarding Youzhou, and most of the soldiers and horses in Bingzhou. If there is another mistake, Yuan Shao may really be in a desperate situation.

The great victory in the Battle of Guandu allowed Cao Cao to basically control the area near Hanoi.

That is to say, from Dongjun County up to Hanoi County, the area bounded by the Yellow River was occupied by Cao Cao.

Whether it is Baima, Liyang or Yanjin, they are completely out of Yuan Shao's control, and Yuan Shao can no longer cross the Yellow River from these two places to attack Cao Cao.

But although this section is no longer under Yuan Shao's control, Cangtingjin in the northeast is still under Yuan Shao's control.

Cangtingjin can also be regarded as a place to cross the south and threaten Yanzhou.

After Yuan Shao got the support of Yuan Xi's [-] troops, he immediately dispatched Yuan Tan to garrison at Cangting. In the coming year, Yuan Shao personally led the army to go south, directly entered Yanzhou from Cangtingjin, and took Chenliu directly!

To be honest, the current Yuan Shao is already like a gambler who has lost his eyes. He no longer cares about other objective conditions, and only wants to make a comeback.Perhaps, Yuan Shao was unwilling to lose to Cao Cao, whom he had always looked down upon in the first battle at Guandu; or, perhaps, he knew that his time was short and wanted to clear away Cao Cao's confidant for his son Yuan Shang before he died. Big trouble.

In short, Yuan Shao was going to put all his eggs in one basket and had another decisive battle with Cao Cao.

If he wins, Yuan Shao can drive straight in and take down Yanzhou, and even wipe out Cao Cao in one fell swoop;

If defeated, the number one vassal who used to own the land of the four states in the world will decline rapidly, and even be completely devastated.

Jian'an four years, early March.

The Taiyuan Academy began to recruit students, and at the same time, the two subjects of military and political science were also opened to students from the former Taiyuan Academy.

Due to Cao Cao's victory over Yuan Shao last year, Cao Cao's prestige rose greatly.

In addition to the first batch of students from local colleges in various places, the number of students taking the Tai College this year is nearly three times that of last year!

However, they can only apply for common subjects, namely Confucian classics, mathematics and engineering.

As for the two subjects of military and political science, since they are only open to students from the former Taiyuan College, and they have to go through strict background and ideological investigations, the students who can enter are basically capable and can guarantee loyalty.

Here, Yang Xiu and Cheng Wu are naturally logical; Fazheng and Meng Da, who drank and sang together last time, also entered smoothly.

As for Zhuge Liang, he is excellent because of his comprehensive abilities, and the last time he scolded Yuan Shao on the phone call, he has already been appointed as a disciple by Yang Biao, and he is a person who can walk sideways in the Taiyuan Academy.

In April, the results of the new admissions will come out soon.

Lu Xun successfully entered the Confucian classics department. His talent is not inferior to Zhuge Liang, and he has a close relationship with Lu Yan. After entering the Taixue, he naturally attracted the favor of countless doctors.

But among this group of newly joined students, there was one person that Lu Yan was particularly concerned about.

"Sima Yi, Sima Zhongda!"

Lu Yan looked at Sima Yi's information on the list and remained silent for a long time.

Sima Yi, whose name is Zhongda, has just reached the weak crown this year. Since childhood, he has been smart and generous, erudite and acquainted with Confucianism, and he is the only person who can compete with Zhuge Liang in the Wei Dynasty.

After a full cup of tea, Lu Yan gently put down the list, and murmured: "Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi, these fateful enemies... Hehe, there is a good show to watch..."

......

The new year's spring plowing is approaching, and Yuan Shao's ambition is revived.

Yuan Shao gathered the three prefectures of Bing, You, and Ji, claiming that 20 soldiers and horses went to Cangting Xiazhai, and threatened to fight Cao Cao to the death!

Facing Yuan Shao's challenge again, no one in the court jumped out to oppose fighting Yuan Shao this time.

Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao's army of nearly 50 with 20. You only have [-] this time. Isn't that a piece of cake?

After Cao Cao recovered for nearly half a year, his soldiers were replenished to [-].

Cao Cao, who was participating in the opening ceremony, heard that Yuan Shao was gathering again to invade Yanzhou. Instead of worrying, he laughed and said to the new students: "Yuan Benchu ​​wants to kill himself, and God can't save him!"

Sima Yi stood among the crowd, silently observing Cao Cao, who was exuding a domineering aura, and thought to himself: "It is not difficult to defeat Yuan Shao, but the difficulty is how to annex Yuan Shao's foundation... The Yuan family has run Jizhou for many years, and the hundred-legged worm Dead but not stiff...Prime Minister Cao, don't get too carried away, and be careful not to stumble."

As the war was approaching, the opening ceremony ended in a hurry this time.

Cao Cao personally led an army of [-], and marched towards Cangting with Cheng Yu, Zhang Liao, Xia Houyuan, Le Jin, Li Dian and others.

This time, Lu Yan, Zhao Yun and others did not participate in the battle, mainly because Lu Yan wanted to reorganize and plan for Zhao Yun, Lu Lingqi, and the cavalry who surrendered from Yuan Jun.

Although there is no dragon cavalry battalion of Zhao Yun's department, Cao Cao still has the tiger and leopard cavalry led by Cao Chun and Cao Xiu, plus the newly promoted general Gan Ning and his [-] elite cavalry, Cao Cao still has nearly [-] cavalry of.

In the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao's biggest gain, apart from generals Zhang Xi, Gao Lan and others, was the nearly [-] horses.

Because Zhang He didn't take the Wuhuan cavalry with him when he attacked the city later, Wuchao was burned, and after Yuan Shao's camp was attacked, almost all the Wuhuan people ran away.

When Zhang He and Gao Lan surrendered, only more than [-] cavalry followed and surrendered. Cao Cao gave all these thousands of cavalry to Zhao Yun, and then divided nearly half of the horses.

After Lu Lingqi joined, Lu Yan now has two powerful cavalry battalions in his hands.

One is the Dragon Rider Battalion led by Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan. After the First World War in Guandu, the number has been reduced from 5000 to 3000; the other is the Bingzhou Wolf Rider with nearly [-] people. It was the general Hao Zhao and others.

In order to allow the two cavalry to have a relatively balanced combat power, Lu Yan selected Yuan Jun's cavalry to enrich the dragon cavalry battalion, and added soldiers recruited from other places to make up the number of [-].

Then there is Dianwei's Iron Buddha.

Lu Yan selected a thousand of the tallest and strongest horses from the more than [-] captured war horses, put heavy armor on them, and filled them with iron pagodas.

So far, Tiefutu has transformed from heavy armored infantry to heavy armored cavalry, and his power has been raised to a higher level again!

As a veteran combat force, the Beiwei Army expanded from three thousand to five thousand.

It's not that Lu Yan doesn't want to expand his elite combat power, but that with the current finances of Chenliu County, he can barely support these troops.

Look, nearly 2 cavalry, as well as heavy armored cavalry and Beiwei army, all of them can be called gold swallowing beasts.

If it weren't for the fact that Chen Liu's business system was the best among the big men, Lu Yan and Cao Cao would never have dared to do this...

2 Chapter Fifty Yu has a plan, called "Ambush from Ten Daggers"

Although the military strength under Lu Yan's command has expanded a lot,

However, whether it is the newly joined Bingzhou wolf cavalry, the expanded dragon cavalry battalion, or the Iron Buddha after changing from foot combat to horse combat, it will take a period of training and grinding to form a truly effective combat force.

Combat with a large army has never been based on the personnel or equipment configuration on the books, but on the comparison of military discipline, tacit understanding, and teamwork. It doesn't matter who has more people or whose general looks famous, he will definitely win.

Iron Buddha Tu is invincible in frontal impact, but if it is targeted by someone, it is still easy to be cracked.At this time, the pull of the light cavalry is needed. It would be even better if there is cavalry and shooting cover.

The Beiwei army integrated offense and defense, but was restrained by long weapons, and also needed the cover of other arms...

Because of this, although each of the troops under Lu Yan's command is top-notch combat power, it will take a period of running-in and training to form a whole.

To deal with Yuan Shao, Cao Cao believed that he had enough strength in his hands, and Lu Yan's team could serve as a defensive force while training.

Before Cao Cao sent troops, he also met someone.

That person was Chen Gong, Chen Gongtai, who first defected to Cao Cao, but abandoned him.

Chen Gong came to Xuchang under the instruction of Lu Bu, intending to discuss and form an alliance with Cao Cao to deal with Yuan Shao's various matters.

Cao Cao was grateful from the bottom of his heart for Lu Bu's helping hand in times of crisis.

If Lu Lingqi hadn't led [-] Bingzhou wolf cavalry to help, it would have been very difficult for Cao Cao to break through the Yuan army camp guarded by [-] soldiers with a few thousand cavalry.

After meeting Chen Gong, apart from expressing his regret and self-blame for the past, Cao Cao did not make things difficult or blame Chen Gong at all, which completely dissipated the last obstacle in Chen Gong's heart towards Cao Cao.

The two talked at night by candlelight,

From when Cao Cao assassinated Dong Zhuo alone, we talked about the great changes since Lu Bu's journey;

From the Northern Expedition to Yuan Shao, he talked about the interesting story between Lu Yan and Lu Lingqi.

Tonight, the two of them seem to have returned to the time when they first met in prison...

The next day.

Although he slept very late last night, Cao Cao still left for the barracks early in the morning. Today is the day he led an army of [-] to go north.

Thinking that Yuan Shao dared to take the initiative to seek a decisive battle, Cao Cao's spirit became extremely excited.

What Lao Cao is most afraid of is that Yuan Shao can't shrink back and recuperate, which will completely slow down the pace of Cao Cao's sweeping the world.

Fortunately, Yuan Shao jumped out on his own initiative, as if he was still saying to Lao Cao, "Come and hit me!"

If Lao Cao didn't beat him up severely, he would be really sorry for Yuan Shao's kindness.

When passing through Dongjun, Cao Cao also took Yu Jin and [-] pawns from Dongjun.Anyway, this time we are fighting in Cangting, Dongjun is not threatened much, Chen Deng and the remaining [-] defenders are enough.

Cao Cao urged his troops to rush forward, and after crossing the Yellow River, he rushed to Cangting to set up camp.

Seeing the arrival of Cao Cao's army, Yuan Tan tried to send troops to attack at night, but unexpectedly, Cao Cao had already prepared himself, and Yuan Tan finally returned in a small defeat.

A night attack is actually more like a temptation.

As soon as the next day dawned, the two armies began to face each other outside Cangting and Tianjin, and the sound of drums shook the sky. This was the beginning of the main event!

The two armies spread out, and Cao Cao led the generals out.

Because of the confidence of the previous victory in Guandu, Cao Jun's generals are all imposing and full of energy.

Yuan Shao also led Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, Yuan Shang and Gao Gan to the front of the battle, but when Yuan Jun's officers and men were compared with Cao Jun's officers and men, they suddenly seemed a little listless and lacked confidence.

Cao Cao patted his horse out, looked at Yuan Shao with vacant eyes, and shouted, "Brother Benchu! Am I dazzled? Why do you suddenly look 20 years older?!"

Yuan Shao snorted coldly, but did not speak.

He, Yuan Shao, is not stupid. Wouldn't he be humiliating himself if he shouted at Cao Cao at this time.

Seeing Yuan Shao remained silent, Cao Cao grinned and said, "Brother Benchu, since you and I have a deep friendship in the past, if you dismount and accept the surrender, I can consider seeking a high-ranking official and generous salary for you in front of the emperor just like I did for Xu You. Guaranteed to enjoy endless prosperity and wealth in the future!"

When Cao Cao mentioned Xu You, he immediately poked Yuan Shao's sore spot. He said bitterly in his heart, "Damn Xu You!!! I'm going to peel off your skin, drink your blood, and eat your flesh!"

Looking at Cao Cao's current self-satisfaction, or the appearance of a villain, Yuan Shao couldn't help but think of the past...

In the past, Cao Cao was always respectful in front of Yuan Shao, with a smile, and he acted like a younger brother.
