Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

Just when Lao Cao was imagining what gunpowder was, a servant suddenly came outside to report, "Reporting to the prime minister, there is a shadow guard asking to see you."

"Shadow guard asking for an audience?" Cao Cao couldn't help but conjecture, "Could it be because of the gunpowder?"

"Let him in!"

"Here!"

Not long after, a young man who looked more like a teacher than a member of a special agency entered the study.

"My subordinate Shadow Guard Jiaziying Zhou Hong, I have met the prime minister!"

"Was it Guo Jijiu or Lu Huanqi who sent you here?"

"It's Lu Hussar. He asked me to send you a confidential letter. Lu Hussar also specifically explained that the contents of this letter must not be leaked."

After Zhou Hong finished speaking, he took out a secret letter with a red lacquer seal from his bosom, and handed it to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao reached out to take the letter, and Zhou Hong cupped his hands and said goodbye: "The letter has been delivered, and my subordinates will go back to report!"

Lao Cao nodded, but did not reply.

After Zhou Hong exited the study, he closed the door smoothly.

After opening the letter, Cao Cao quickly browsed through it.

As soon as he saw the beginning, the corner of Cao Cao's mouth showed a slight hint, "Sure enough, Mr. Lu still hasn't forgotten me!"

In just a dozen or so breaths, Cao Cao quickly read the letter, and at the same time he was a little shocked and said: "Split... No, it was gunpowder that exploded the city wall of Ye City!!!"

Chapter 292 Let them consume for a while

In the early morning of the next day, the Hussar General's Mansion suddenly became lively.

The servants of the Prime Minister's Mansion brought a carriage of precious medicinal materials, and together with Hua Tuo, came to visit.

After seeing Lu Yan, Hua Tuo pulled Lu Yan's ears to ask him to order, dun dun taught...

Right now, the two are making all kinds of weird moves in the yard.

"It's called Wu Qin Xi, and it's a way to keep healthy and strengthen your body by imitating the movements of five animals: tiger, deer, bear, ape, and crane. You will naturally be healthy and healthy after you practice."

"Yes, I have written it down..." Lu Yan was very respectful, and then meticulously learned Wuqinxi from Hua Tuo.

Needless to say, this exercise is still a bit miraculous. He has only learned ape opera from tiger play, and he feels that the internal force in his body is moving more smoothly.

Later, when Cao Cao and Cai Yan came to visit, they happened to see Lu Yan and Hua Tuo playing "monkey show" in the front yard.

"Hey! Mr. Lu Da, aren't you sick? Why are you still playing monkeys!" Lao Cao had a gun in his mouth, but the joy on his face was real.

Lu Yan seemed to be all right, and the big stone in Cao Cao's heart fell to the ground.

"What is monkey playing? This is called Wu Qin Xi, which was created by the genius doctor Hua all his life!" Lu Yan explained to the ignorant Cao Cao.

After paying a salute to Lu Yan, Cai Yan asked, "Is sister Lingqi at home?"

Lu Yan replied, "Madam came just in time, Lingqi is teaching the little ones in the backyard!"

Cai Yan's beautiful big eyes narrowed with a smile, and said, "Oh? Then I have to go and take a good look!"

Cai Yan was already familiar with the General Hussar's Mansion, so she didn't need to be guided by someone, so she walked straight to the backyard.

Hua Tuo had just learned ape opera, and he still had a set of crane opera to teach.

The progress was suddenly interrupted by Cao Cao, and his face was a little unsightly.

Hua Tuo has now trained countless capable doctors for Cao Cao, and now he is also tight to Hua Tuo's treasure.

Seeing the unswerving expression on Hua Tuo's face, he quickly apologized and said with a smile: "Old genius doctor, what do you say about this Wuqinxi?"

Seeing that Cao Cao was sincerely asking for advice, Hua Tuo's face relaxed a little, and he said, "The five-animal show can harmonize the breath in the body. Practicing it every day can not only strengthen your body, but also prolong your life."

"Ah!" Cao Cao heard that this thing has such benefits, so he immediately showed his thick-skinned expertise, and said, "The old god, teach me too. You see, I am getting older now, and my body is also a little weaker. Not happy anymore."

"Yeah, you have kidney yin deficiency..."

"Pfft!" Lu Yan almost choked on his saliva, while Cao Cao said without any embarrassment: "In order to have more sons, there is no way..."

It seems that Cao Cao had 13 wives and concubines in history, and had 25 children... This is really possible.

Unable to understand why the ancients desperately wanted to have a son, Lu Yan shook his head, and then began to learn Wuqinxi from Hua Tuo.

Since Cao Cao wanted to follow suit, Hua Tuo could only teach him from scratch.

When Guo Jia came out of the house yawning for a walk, he happened to see Cao Cao and Lu Yan who were learning ape opera from Hua Tuo in the yard.

"Hey, three! Playing monkeys!"

"..."

"Feng Xiao, you came just in time, let's play monkey together!"

.....

An hour later, Lu Yan, who had played Wu Qin Xi several times, felt refreshed all over his body.

Lu Yan knew the purpose of Cao Cao's coming to find him, and it happened that Guo Jia also appeared, so Lu Yan took the two of them to his study.

"Mr. Cao, you must be here today because of gunpowder, right?"

Cao Cao nodded, then shook his head and said, "Yes...but the most important thing is that I heard that you are sick, so I came to visit Mr. Lu."

"It's just a small cold, just rest at home for two days..."

Cao Cao didn't seem to understand what Lu Yan was saying, so he changed the subject and said, "Feng Xiao, do you know about gunpowder?"

"Of course he knows...in Jiang Zuo's prison, there are shadow guards watching all the time." Lu Yan replied for Guo Jia, "There are too many secrets inside, and it's hard to guarantee that no one with ulterior motives will sneak in."

Cao Cao was silent for a while, then asked: "The shadow guards are really pervasive...I wonder if I'm being watched..."

Lu Yan couldn't help thinking of the frightening Jinyiwei in later generations, so he comforted him: "Don't worry, Mr. Cao, the Shadow Guard will never monitor his own people..."

Cao Cao took a deep look at Guo Jia and Lu Yan.

Although Guo Jia has already recognized him as the master, if Guo Jia is asked to choose someone from Lu Yan and Cao Cao, Lao Cao himself has no confidence at all.

Fortunately, he can see from Lu Yan's diary that Lu Yan has no idea of ​​starting a new business at all, and he really has no greed for worldly fame and wealth, otherwise Cao Cao might really have trouble sleeping and eating.

Now, the only thing that can still attract Lu Yan is "merit value".

In other words, Lu Yan has been silently paying attention to the merit point since the system broke out last time.

After such a long time, the merit value has risen from 8985 to 8990...

The speed of this growth is more than a slow speed that can be described, it is simply too slow to bear the sight of it!

Later, Lu Yan summed it up a bit, and it seemed that the benevolent policies implemented in Jizhou did not bring him merit points.Therefore, I am afraid that the territory must be completely occupied and controlled first, and the full attachment of the people will bring him merit points. This also prevents Lu Yan from gaining merit points from other princes and even countries in disguise.

Lu Yan has not exchanged merit points for the time to sign in directly. Anyway, there is no rush, so it is better to save it slowly.

At this moment, someone suddenly came to the study and reported to Guo Jia, "Report to Guo Jijiu, there is important military news from Hebei!"

As soon as he heard that Hebei had military affairs again, Guo Jia quickly took the secret letter from the shadow guard.

Unpacking the urgent secret letter sealed with wax seal, Lu Yan, Cao Cao, and Guo Jia huddled their heads together and watched together.

"Sure enough, Yuan Shang inherited Yuan Shao's title and foundation." Cao Cao said with emotion.

"Yuan Tan is bound to be dissatisfied. We can start from him to plunge Hebei into civil strife and consume each other." Lu Yan talked eloquently.

Cao Cao glanced at Lu Yan and Guo Jia, the corner of his mouth curled up, and said, "This is what you call a proxy war, Mr. Lu?"

Lu Yan was taken aback when he heard the words, and said, "How do you know?"

Cao Cao's eyes slanted, Lu Yan immediately understood, and said, "Feng Xiao, are you talking nonsense again?"

"Hey! You can eat food, but don't talk nonsense!" Guo Jia quickly protested: "I was spreading your combat philosophy, why is it called nonsense?"

Lu Yan gave Guo Jia a dead eye, and then said to Cao Cao: "Yuan Shang is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Even if Yuan Tan doesn't trouble him, he can't tolerate Yuan Tan's existence."

Cao Cao stroked his beard and said, "But Yuan Tan has been robbed of his foundation by Marquis Wen. It may be difficult for him to compete with Yuan Shang."

"Then it has to fall on Changsheng. After all, he is his father-in-law. If he persuades him, Marquis Wen will definitely sell him some face." Guo Jia urged beside him.

Lu Yan understood what Guo Jia meant, and he just hoped that Lu Bu would stop attacking Yuan Tan for the time being, so that Yuan Tan could take a breather to cope with Yuan Shang's challenge.

"It will take some time for Marquis Wen to take over Pingyuan County just now. Mr. Cao can send an envoy to explain our intentions. Chen Gongtai and Marquis Wen must understand."

"Well, it just so happens that the imperial court's reward is about to be delivered, and I will personally repair a letter later, and let the imperial envoys take the letter along."

"So good!"

......

Chapter 293 The Wind Blows the River East

Guo Jia still held the secret letter in his hand, and continued to interpret the contents of the letter:

"Yuan Shang ordered Yuan Xi to return to Youzhou, but because Jizhou's defense was insufficient, he detained [-]% of his soldiers; Yuan Shang sent high officials and Guo Yuan to march towards Hedong...

It seems that Yuan Shang has already sent away all the people who threatened him.

Moreover, his ambition is not small, and he wants to open up a new battlefield, trying to contain us from the side while expanding the territory. "

These two pieces of information are probably the most important in the secret letter.

After Yuan Shang inherited Yuan Shao's foundation and title, he sent away his two brothers and sent Gao Gan and Guo Yuan to attack Hedong.

Lu Yan vaguely remembered that Gao Gan and Guo Yuan did have such an incident, and they also asked for help from the Southern Huns Huchuquan.But they seem to have failed in the end, and Guo Yuan was beheaded by someone...

"Damn it... I can't remember this history clearly..." Lu Yan felt a little annoyed.

......

Jizhou, Yecheng.

Yuan Shang summoned counselors Guo Tu and Feng Ji who had always supported him, and after persuading Yuan Tan to accept the status quo, he came to Yuan Shang's side to ease the relationship with Yuan Tan.

Yuan Shang asked Guo Tu: "Mr. Wen Ze, in your opinion, Gao Gan and Guo Yuan went to Hedong here, what is the outcome?"

Guo Tu smiled elegantly, and said confidently: "A certain person has written in advance to contact Xiliang Ma Teng Han Sui, and the Southern Xiongnu Shanyu Huchuquan.

With their help, with the talents of General Gao and General Guo, Hedong is at your fingertips.

After occupying Hedong, Chang'an will be under our threat. Cao Cao can't look after each other from head to tail, and I'm afraid it will be a long time. "

Feng Ji glanced at the judge at this time, and then said: "As the saying goes, if you fight against the outside world, you must first secure the inside. Let's draw Cao Cao's attention, and we can eradicate the internal troubles immediately!"

The internal trouble that Feng Ji said was obviously referring to Yuan Tan.

After the words came out, Yuan Shang and Guo Tu couldn't help but turn their eyes to the trial match.

Seeing that the three of them were all looking at him, he couldn't help sighing, cupped his hands and said: "Marquis Ye (Yuan Shang inherited Yuan Shao's title and official position), I'm only considering Yuan's foundation in the trial...but I still ask you Thinking about my brother once, I can hold my hand high to the Eldest Young Master."

The trial match has always been upright and honest, both Yuan Shao and Yuan Shang trust his words very much.

Now that the judge has subdued himself, Yuan Shang is also happy to accept such a great talent with both military and political skills, so Yuan Shang comforted: "Mr. Zhengnan is only thinking about my Yuan family. grateful.

In fact, I don't want to kill my eldest brother, but my eldest brother is violent, and I am afraid that I will let him go, but he won't let me go! "

The judge opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but after thinking about it carefully, Yuan Shang's words were not unreasonable...

"That's all... I will also write to persuade the eldest son, and also ask Ye Hou and the eldest son to turn hostility into jade and jointly resist Cao Cao for the sake of Yuan's foundation."

After the judge finished speaking, he bowed his hands and walked out of the conference hall without waiting for Yuan Shang to speak.

Feng Ji looked disdainful, and said: "The guy who doesn't know etiquette..."

Guo Tu shook his head and didn't make any further comments. He is now Yuan Shang's mastermind, so naturally he has to hold a certain demeanor.

After a while, Guo Tu said to Yuan Shang: "We must not persecute Yuan Tan too much..."

Yuan Shang heard the words and asked in doubt: "Why?"

"Yuan Tan is now defending against Lu Bu in Qinghe County. If we push Yuan Tan too hard, he might vote for Lu Bu or Cao Cao in a fit of anger.

Moreover, Yuan Tan is the eldest son after all, and all the three states have his old ministries.If he votes for Cao Cao, and if the lord is murdered and died secretly by you, Marquis of Ye, attacking him in the name of establishing an heir, I am afraid the situation will be very unfavorable to us. "

After listening to Guo Tu's analysis, Yuan Shang also understood the power of it, so he said, "Could we just let Yuan Tan go like this?"

Obviously, Yuan Shang was not reconciled.

"Of course we can't let him go!" Guo Tu said with a smile again.

"Oh! Mr. Wen Ze, please don't be so secretive anymore, how about you be blunt?"
