Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

"According to my plan, we should first appease Yuan Tan's heart, so that he will not have the idea of ​​taking refuge in Cao Cao or Lu Bu. But in secret, we are actively preparing to accumulate troops, and when we find a good opportunity, we will take Yuan Tan down with a thunderbolt." Tan, to prevent future troubles!!"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Shang patted his palms together and said, "Okay! Just as Mr. Wenze said!"

Yuan Tan was stationed in Qinghe County.

Although the trial match went to Yecheng to mediate for him, Yuan Tan actually didn't have much hope for the actual effect. He was very worried about his future.

Just when Yuan Tan was about to summon Xin Ping to point out a way for him, a messenger suddenly came to report that Yuan Shang was worried that he would suffer from Lu Bu, so he specially sent two generals, Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang, to And led [-] troops to help out.

When Yuan Tan heard that it was Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang, his father's former subordinates, he immediately felt at ease, and forgot to look for Xin Ping to show him the way.

Although I don't know if Yuan Shang has really changed his nature, but with the support of these two generals and [-] troops, even if Lu Bu attacks again, Yuan Tan can calmly deal with it.

Then you can still hold on, don't panic for now...

......

Guo Yuan, Zhong Yao's nephew, was appointed by Yuan Shang as the prefect of Hedong County before the expedition.

Now the Yuan family has completely broken with Cao Cao, and the officials under his command are all appointed by themselves.

After Guo Yuan and Gao Gan sent troops, they united with Shanyu Huchuquan of the Southern Xiongnu and Ma Teng and Han Sui of Xiliang to besiege Hedong.

But Ma Teng and Han Sui were still a bit jealous of the Han court, they just stationed troops on the border and did not directly attack.

Guo Yuan is an extraordinary person, wherever the army passes by, all the cities will fall, it can be said that he is invincible in every attack, making the enemy fearful.

Yuan Shang sent people to attack Hedong County, the matter is very important, Cao Cao dare not neglect.

After returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion in Xuchang, Cao Cao immediately summoned his advisers and asked Guo Jia to tell Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu, Xun You, Cheng Yu, Jia Xu and others the information they had obtained.

"The Yuan family's summoning power is really extraordinary, and they can even join forces with Ma Teng, Han Sui and the Southern Huns to send troops to Hedong County. The soldiers in Hedong County are few, and I am afraid they will not be able to withstand Yuan Jun's attack... What do you think?"

At this time, Xun Yu stood up first and said: "Ma Teng and Han Sui have always claimed to be loyal officials of the Han Dynasty. When Captain Zhong (Sili Captain) entered Chang'an, they even sent protons to show their loyalty. In my opinion , but Captain Zhong can send someone to report the pros and cons to Ma Teng and Han Sui, and even if they won’t help us, they probably won’t help Yuan Shang attack Hedong again.”

Cao Cao nodded slightly, and said, "Wen Ruo makes sense..."

After Xun Yu withdrew, Xi Zhicai also cupped his hands and said, "Guo Yuan is the nephew of Captain Zhong. Captain Zhong must know Guo Yuan very well, so he can order Captain Zhong to lead troops to Hedong and help the defenders in Hedong. Resist Yuan Jun."

Cao Cao also nodded in agreement and said, "Zhicai's words are very much in line with my wishes! But Zhong Yuanchang has no capable generals under his command, so I'm still not at ease."

"You can send General Zhang Xiu to help." At this time, Jia Xu suddenly suggested.

"Zhang Xiu?" Cao Cao pondered for a while, "That's good, he's very familiar with Guanzhong and other places... With him on board, Hedong is no longer a big problem."

Chapter 294

After Zhang Xiu participated in the Battle of Guandu, he was promoted to General Po Qiang for his meritorious service, and was also named Xuanweihou.

But he seems to be very beautiful, but in fact he is still a little bit lost in his heart.

Because of the last Northern Expedition to Yuan Shao, Cao Cao did not take him with him.

Just when Zhang Xiu thought he was about to be forgotten, Cao Cao suddenly summoned him and asked him to lead [-] troops from his headquarters plus [-] soldiers and horses allocated to him by Cao Cao, and go to Chang'an City to assist Zhong Yao in relieving Guo Yuan, Gao Gan and others. Huns

Chapter 295 I'm a brother, so I'm going to cheat

When Zhang Xiu and two lieutenants galloped towards Zhong Yao and the others on horseback, a man dressed as a personal guard beside Zhong Yao stepped forward half a step, trying to block Zhong Yao.

Seeing this, Zhong Yao stretched out his hand to gently grab the man's arm, and then said softly, "Zuo Yong, it's okay... General Zhang Xiu has no malicious intentions."

Zhu Yong, the captain of the Wuzi battalion of shadow guards, was ordered by Lu Yan and Guo Jia to lead ten shadow guards to secretly protect Zhong Yao and enter Chang'an.

So many years have passed, overtly and secretly, the shadow guard has saved Zhong Yao countless times.Of the ten shadow guards, only Yong, Yu Cheng and Shi Wei remained.

Zhong Yao was grateful for their life-saving grace, and always cited Yingwei as his confidant.

Now, after asking for instructions and obtaining the consent of Cao Cao and Guo Jia, Zhong Yao promoted Yong, Yu Cheng and Shi Wei to be his personal guards.

Captain Zhuo Yong served as the captain of Zhong Yao's personal guard, while Yu Cheng and Shi Wei served as Yong's deputy generals.

So far, the Yingwei Wuzi Camp has existed in name only.

But Guo Jia is not heartbroken. It is no big deal that a battalion can be rebuilt after it is lost.In fact, Guo Jia has always hoped that the brothers of the shadow guards can have a brighter future.

But some people are willing to stay in the dark... For example: Yan Feng.

Shadow has been strengthening training recently, strengthening the organization and structure, and while becoming more and more formal, it has also become more and more cold.

Lu Yan has already handed over the real power of the shadow to Guo Jia.

Today, Guo Jia is the veritable leader of the shadow, and in future generations, his status will be like the commander of the Jin Yiwei.

For the first batch of shadow guards, many of them are actually not suitable for the current shadow operation method, because most of them have not undergone strict special training.

The future shadows are destined to walk in the darkness, without a calm and strong heart, they will eventually lose themselves in the darkness.

So these old people who still have the idea of ​​embracing the light can walk out of the shadows, and Guo Jia is also happy to see the success.

Now, the three Zhuoyong are already Zhong Yao's most intimate confidantes, as long as Zhong Yao does not fail, their future can be said to be bright.

Under Zhong Yao's obstruction, Zhuo Yong retreated back to his position calmly.

At this time, Zhang Xiu happened to come to Zhong Yao.

"The last general, Zhang Xiu, joins the Sili school captain!"

Zhong Yao walked forward with a smile, and Zhuo Yong followed closely behind him.

After lifting Zhang Xiu up, Zhong Yao said with emotion: "I never imagined that the prime minister would be able to dispatch generals and [-] troops to reinforce him during the critical period of preparing for the Northern Expedition."

Naturally, Zhang Xiu didn't know Cao Cao's current plan, so he could only pick up the most conservative idea and said, "Perhaps the prime minister has a plan."

"What General Zhang said is true. The Prime Minister has resourceful people like Lu Changsheng and Xun Wenruo by his side. I think he has already made full preparations... I was the one who was just worrying about it, hahaha!"

Zhong Yao's hearty smile made Zhang Xiu, who had always been a little cautious, relax.

Zhang Xiu also said with a smile: "The last general is at the command of the captain this time, I only hope that I can defeat Yuan Jun and the Huns earlier, and return the river to a bright future!"

"Very good!" Zhong Yao exclaimed, pulled Zhang Xiu's arm, and said: "I have ordered someone to set up a reception banquet, General Zhang, please follow me!"

"Please!"

......

Yanzhou, Chen Liu.

When Cao Cao and Cai Yan left, Cai Yan also took away the textbooks "edited" by Lu Yan.

Before leaving, everyone in Cai taunted Lu Yan a little bit. The original words were as follows: "The Three Character Classic is a textbook for enlightenment, and you, Lu Changsheng, cherish it with your broom. Back then, the 'sage' who was willing to set his heart for the world, How did you become so petty now?"

Lu Yan could only touch his nose in embarrassment about the proprietress's words of hating iron but not steel, and argued, "Isn't this just "made up"? We should find some people to experiment first..."

"The Mengxue founded by Zhao Ji is just ready to be used. What is the good thing that Zhao Ji recognizes? Why are you experimenting... You are really serious. Good books should be released sooner." Lao Cao naturally fully supported his wife , the two of them sang together, completely suppressing Lu Yan.

"Then when will you return the original Su Shu to me?" Lu Yan asked abruptly.

I thought that Lao Cao would be a little embarrassed, but unexpectedly, Lao Cao said confidently: "What's the hurry, Anger just finished copying, and there are Pier, Zhier and others next..."

"..." Lu Yan once again refreshed his understanding of Lao Cao's thick skin, "Is it necessary for your son to keep occupying my original book for frying a book? Shameless..."

Lu Yan finally let out a sigh of relief after finally sending Cao Cao and Cai Yan away.

However, without waiting for Lu Yan to relax for a moment,

Zhuge Liang, Fazheng, Yang Xiu and Cheng Wu came to visit together again.

The military and political department of Taiyuan Academy finally ushered in its first batch of graduates this year.

The most dazzling students this year are undoubtedly Zhuge Liang, Fazheng, Yang Xiu and others.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Wu also graduated ahead of schedule. For this reason, his father, Cheng Yu, threw a big banquet at his house to celebrate his son's impressive achievements.

"Student Zhuge Liang..."

"Student Fazheng..."

"Student Yang Xiu..."

"Student Cheng Wu..."

"See you sir!"

"It's so annoying... After dealing with Lao Cao for so long, I really want to go back to sleep!" Lu Yan cursed in his heart, but with a faint smile on his face, he asked, "Long time no see, come to my house, What's matter?"

Zhuge Liang, Fazheng, and Cheng Wu all looked at Yang Xiu, waiting for him to speak first.

No way, among the four of them, Yang Xiu and Lu Yan have the closest relationship and the strongest background.

There are daily physical exercises in Tai Academy. Although Yang Xiu is much darker now than when Lu Yan first met, he is much taller than before.What's more, Yang Xiu's slightly weak temperament and feminine appearance before have become stronger and more resolute now.

"That's right, you are already men." Lu Yan nodded and asked, "Dezu, if you have something to say, just say it, the old man still has a lot of important things to deal with (voice from the heart: for example, go back to sleep for a while) )."

Facing Lu Yan, Yang Xiu looked very respectful and even a little cautious, he bowed his hands and bowed, and after organizing his words a little bit, he said: "Mr. ..”

"Damn! Are you here to bother me with such a small matter?" Lu Yan slandered in his heart, then pointed to the study and said, "It just so happens that Guo Jijiu, who is fully responsible for planning this matter, is in the study. You should go now and see To the way he deduces the situation of the battle."

The four people's eyes lit up when they heard the words, Guo Jiana was a top strategist who was on a par with Xi Zhicai and Lu Yan, and was known as a ghost.

What an honor to be able to witness his deduction with my own eyes!

"Thank you sir for your advice, let's ask Guo Jijiu for advice now!"

"Go..." When the four of them walked away, Lu Yan smiled and murmured: "I hope you are not secretly drinking now..."

......

Chapter 296 The Northern Gun King and Jin Machao

The troops of Guo Yuan, Gao Gan, and Hu Chuquan were stationed on the line from Dayang to Shanjin, threatening Hongnong County south of the Yellow River.

Zhong Yao began to analyze the current situation with Zhang Xiu.

"General Zhang, Guo Yuan, Gao Gan, and Huchuquan are stationed in Hebei, and now Ma Teng is also eyeing the upper reaches of the Yellow River. The situation is not very good for us."

Someone echoed, "Yes, Yuan Jun's allied forces are coming fiercely from the four routes. If the general hadn't arrived in time, maybe we would have to give up Shaanxi and Tianjin first and retreat to Hongnong."

Zhang Xiu didn't have much to do about it. If he was asked to charge forward and fight, he would have nothing to say.But let him analyze the battle situation and think about how to defeat the enemy from an overall perspective, then it would really be a bit embarrassing for him.

"How to do things will be up to the captain's arrangement." Zhang Xiu knew his own situation, so he resolutely handed over the command.

Zhong Yao heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, he was afraid that Zhang Xiutie would seize the commanding power, after all the army of 3 people was indeed not a small force.If the general disagrees, it is a taboo for military strategists.

"In this case, General Zhang is also requested to station in the northwest of our army's camp first. Your Xiliang cavalry is the only existence that can compete head-on with Ma Teng's cavalry." Zhong Yao first arranged Zhang Xiu's garrison.

Zhang Xiu clasped his fists without hesitation and said, "Here!"

What is Ma Teng?In the eyes of Dong Zhuo and other generals before, Ma Teng was really not taken seriously by them.

When the vassals of the Eighteenth Route were begging for Dong, Ma Teng only sent some people to fill the number symbolically, and never appeared on the battlefield from the beginning to the end... So Zhang Xiu was not afraid of Ma Teng at all, let alone That Han Sui could only follow behind Ma Teng.

Seeing that Zhang Xiu didn't seem to attach much importance to Ma Teng's power, Zhong Yao had no choice but to exhort: "Ma Teng's power has developed rapidly in recent years, and there are even strong generals such as Ma Chao and Pound under his command. The general must not underestimate the enemy!"

Zhang Xiu saw that Zhong Yao was so afraid of Ma Teng, the contempt in his heart finally subsided a little, and said: "Don't worry, captain, the general will know the seriousness."

"Okay, the general has had a hard time traveling, you can go to rest first."

"Yes, the last general will leave!" After Zhang Xiu apologized and saluted, he strode away from the central army tent.

Zhang Xiu commanded the army to set up camp and passed the first night without incident.

The next day, early in the morning, the generals were discussing how to deal with Yuan Jun's coalition forces. Suddenly, a scout rushed to report, saying: "The captain is not good, the vanguard of Ma Teng's army from Xiliang is coming!"

When Zhong Yao and the others heard the words, they all jumped up, but Zhang Xiu was secretly happy and said: "The opportunity to make meritorious service has come!"

Seeing the apprehensive expressions on everyone's faces, Zhong Yao said calmly, "It's just a vanguard, why panic?"

As soon as Zhong Yao's words came out, everyone gradually calmed down.

He turned to Zhang Xiu and said, "General Zhang, I will trouble you to deal with Ma Teng's vanguard."

Zhang Xiu immediately strode forward, clasped his fists and said in a loud voice: "At the end of the day, the general will bring back the head of General Ma Teng and give it to the Prime Minister!"

"General Zhang must not be careless!" At this time, the scout who came back to report the military situation said: "The vanguard general of the Xiliang Army is Ma Chao, the son of Ma Teng. He is extremely brave. I am afraid that no one in our army can stand against him. sharp!"

"I, Zhang Xiu, have been away from Guanzhong for a long time. Does it mean that no one knows my title as the Northern Spear King?" Zhang Xiu sighed in his heart, but he still comforted him: "It's okay, the general just happened to meet Ma Chao."

After Zhang Xiu finished speaking, she cupped her fists and saluted Zhong Yao, then turned around and left the big tent to return to her barracks.

Seven thousand Xiliang cavalry were ordered, Zhang Xiu took the lead, and marched towards the upper reaches of the Yellow River!

Ma Chao led [-] cavalry to advance towards the lower reaches of the Yellow River. The purpose of his trip was to find out the reality of Cao Jun, so the speed of the march was not fast.
