Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

Cao Cao chuckled and said, "The one who opened the city gate was none other than your nephew Shen Rong!"

The judge suddenly widened his eyes, staring at his nephew.

Chapter 318 The revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to stabilize

Facing Shen Pei's death gaze, Shen Rong was not afraid, and he even opened his mouth to help Lao Cao persuade Shen Pei to surrender, "Uncle, our Shen family has done enough for the Yuan family, and there is no need to do it for them no matter what." Take your life and the future of the whole family! Otherwise, you should surrender, with the mind of the prime minister, you must..."

"Shut up!" Before Shen Rong finished speaking, he was roughly interrupted by the judge.

Seeing this, Cao Cao said, "He who understands current affairs is a brilliant man! You should learn from your nephew on this point. Why waste your talents for the Yuan family."

"Hahaha..." After hearing this, the judge was not only not angry, but laughed loudly and said, "Although that kid is not very promising, at least he saved our judge at this moment... You live well, It is not a pity that the old man is dead."

After finishing speaking, the judge looked at Cao Cao again: "There is no need to talk nonsense, I just want to die quickly, Cao Cao, what are you waiting for? Kill me now!"

The words have already reached this point, but the trial and match still insisted.

Cao Cao shook his head and said to the judge: "Since you have made up your mind, Cao will help you. But don't worry, I will not touch Yuan Shang's family members, and I will treat your clan members equally."

The trial match, who had always been honest with Lao Cao, suddenly fell silent at this moment.

Without any warning, the examiner actually bowed his hands to Cao Cao and said, "Thank you, Prime Minister, for your completion!"

Cao Cao nodded, waved his hand and said, "He is also a loyal man...Come here, go and prepare some good wine and food for Mr. Shen, and send him on the road after eating..."

"Hahaha! If you can still drink and eat meat before you die, I will pay homage to Zhengnan!"

The appraiser laughed, turned around and walked out of the meeting hall in an extremely free and easy manner.

The examiner went to his death without hesitation, which made Yuan Shangjiu, who surrendered in the hall, feel a little ashamed.

Naturally, Cao Cao couldn't let one person chill the hearts of others, so he began to talk about these things, trying to comfort them.

After a cup of tea, Cao Cao reassured Yuan Shang's old troops, and Cao Cao summoned his subordinates to discuss the next matters.

"Everyone, the city of Ye has fallen, and Jizhou is at your fingertips. It all depends on your efforts. I hope you will make persistent efforts to take down Jizhou. Your Majesty will reward you for your meritorious deeds and increase your rank and rank!"

After Cao Cao's voice fell, bursts of cheers resounded in the hall.

After cheering for a while, Cao Cao continued: "But you must remember that you must not underestimate the enemy, let alone advance aggressively! The more victory is in sight, the more you must keep a clear head and a steady pace!"

"Follow the prime minister's instruction!" Everyone shouted loudly.

Lao Cao's awareness is very high, even Lu Yan couldn't help but nodded secretly, thinking: "Boss Cao is not flustered, so I feel more at ease."

Cao Cao had been secretly observing Lu Yan's reaction, and when he saw him nodding his head slightly, he said inwardly, "Haha! It's really rare for you to be recognized by the Great Immortal Lu!"

After receiving Lu Yan's "praise", Cao Cao felt as happy as a child receiving a compliment from an elder.

After being secretly happy for a while, Cao Cao asked Xi Zhicai, "Zhicai, I'm sorry to ask you to explain our next strategy."

"Here!" Xi Zhicai promised, then walked to the big hanging map and said,

"Gentlemen, please see...

Jizhou is divided into thirteen counties and two states, including Weijun, Guangping, Yangping, Julu, Changshan, Anping, and Pingyuan.

Our army is now winning victories, but it still only occupies Wei County, Qinghe County, and the upcoming Yangping County.

Jizhou still has a vast land, so I am afraid there will be many battles in the future. "

"I'm not afraid of fewer fights, I'm afraid of no fights! Hahaha!"

"Yes, yes! Who would dislike the lack of military achievements?" The generals couldn't help but start to make noise.

Xi Zhicai smiled and waited for the commotion to end, then Xi Zhicai continued:

"Pingyuan County is now in the hands of Marquis Wen. Bohai County, Hejian County, and Leling Kingdom should also be handed over to Marquis Wen. As long as our two families go hand in hand, we can annex Jizhou as quickly as possible. As long as Marquis Wen can take Hejian counties, we can form a deterrent to Bingzhou and Youzhou with Wenhou."

Although eating alone is very cool, but Lu Bu is now Lu Yan's father-in-law and a staunch ally of his own. Cao Cao has to consider Lu Bu's interests and feelings.

Let Lu Bu take over Bohai County, Hejian County, and Leling State, which will not only allow Lu Bu to expand his territory, but also allow him to border Youzhou.

In this way, Yuan Xi in Youzhou had to guard against Cao Cao on the one hand and Lu Bu on the other, which could effectively contain him.

"After Youzhou is restrained by Marquis Wen, our army can dispatch more troops to attack the high-ranking officials in Bingzhou." Xi Zhicai talked eloquently, and everyone nodded repeatedly.

After a short pause, Xi Zhicai continued: "After taking Bingzhou, we will be connected with Hedong to worry about the future; as long as we go north to take Youzhou, then all threats to the north will be eliminated except for the alien race. At that time, we will You only need to cultivate and recharge your energy for a few years, and when the army goes south, it will be the day when the world will be wiped out!"

"Sweep the world!"

"Sweep the world!"

The bright future that Xi Zhicai described made all the civil and military officials in the hall excited.

Good morale!Both literati and generals blushed at this moment, shouting wantonly.

When the strength is strong enough to crush everyone, then it only needs to act like a soldier, and the world can be wiped out.

......

Thinking back to that year,

Yuan Shao, the overlord of the north, brought an army of more than 80, claiming to be [-], and went south to attack Cao!

But in the battle with Cao Cao, Yuan Shao was first defeated by Burning Guandu in Wuchao, and was shot down from the clouds; then he was ambushed by Cheng Yu in the Battle of Cangting, and his spine was completely broken.

Later, Zhang Yan voted for Cao, Cao Cao and Lu Bu started the Northern Expedition, Yuan Shao finally died of exhaustion...

Now Yecheng has an army of [-], and only waiting for Cao Ren and Zhang Yan from Hanoi County to come to help, Cao Cao can go all the way north until he occupies Zhongshan and borders Youzhou.

Now, Cao Cao has taken Weijun, Yangping and Qinghe counties, and it is only a matter of time before Lu Bu annexes Jizhou.

Once the spring of the next year, the troops from Yanxu and Xuzhou will be replenished, and Cao Cao will be able to attack Bingzhou...

It can be said that the merger of the two states is already in Cao Cao's pocket.

The pattern of the world has undergone drastic changes. Cao Cao defeated the Yuan Group and has become the most powerful prince in the entire Han Dynasty.

In fact, after the death of Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao, the Yuan family has started to go downhill unstoppably.

But with the background of the Yuan family, as long as they abandon their dissent and unanimously speak out, it shouldn't be a problem to delay Lao Cao for three to five years.

But the bad thing is that Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan disagree, the two brothers even did not hesitate to lure wolves into the house in order to compete for the family property...

Hearing of the shocking changes in the north, the princes of the world were terrified.

Especially Liu Biao in Jingzhou and Sun Quan in Jiangdong, after learning that Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shang so quickly, secretly communicated more and more frequently.

It can even be said that they have secretly formed an alliance, and have already begun to prepare to deal with the future number one overlord in the world, Cao Cao!

Chapter 319 Who Says Those Who Stand in the Light Are Heroes?

In half a year, Yuan Shang almost lost half of Jizhou...

Although there are still Bingzhou and Youzhou, the actual controllers of these two states are Gao Gan and Yuan Xi. Whether they will obey Yuan Shang's orders again is a big question mark.

So far,

Only Lu Bu of Qingzhou, Liu Biao of Jingzhou, Sun Quan of Jiangdong, Liu Zhang of Yizhou, Zhang Lu of Hanzhong, and Ma Teng and Han Sui of Xiliang remained among the top princes in the world.

Among these princes, Lu Bu of Qingzhou is a hard-core ally, and Liang Ma Teng Han is a close faction; Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu are fighting on their own; Cao Cao's biggest opponents in the future will only be Liu Biao and Sun Quan who have already reached an alliance .

In order to delay the pace of Cao Cao's unification of the north, Liu Biao even wrote to Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan, advising the two brothers not to fight each other and take advantage of Lao Cao for nothing.It's a pity that if you don't listen to the old man's words, you will suffer a disadvantage. After all, the two brothers gave Cao Cao a chance to annex Jizhou.

In June of the sixth year of Jian'an, Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan joined forces with Chen Deng to occupy Yangping County.

At the end of June in the sixth year of Jian'an, Cao Ren, Xu Huang, Le Jin, and Zhang Yan led an army of [-] troops to the north and went straight to Handan!

At the beginning of July in the sixth year of Jian'an, Lu Bu personally led an army of [-] to go north, and surrounded Yuan Tan in Nanpi.

Although Yuan Tan has the advantage of being a city, his heart is scattered and he has no fighting spirit.

Under Lu Bu's attack, although he fought hard to resist, due to the great gap in strength, the city was quickly broken by Lu Bu.

Yuan Tan, with disheveled hair, ran alone on horseback, but was caught up by Lu Bu outside the city on a red rabbit horse, and took off his head with a halberd.

Sadly, Yuan Tankong has ambitions but no matching ability. He not only fights with his brothers, but also introduces two hungry wolves, Cao Cao and Lu Bu, into his house.In the end, the army was defeated and the city lost, and the tragic end of death without a whole body can be regarded as its own fault.

......

In July of the sixth year of Jian'an,

Lu Yan, Huang Zhong, and Yingwei Zhou Hong rode three horses, and rushed towards Maocheng where Lu Lingqi was stationed.

Lu Yan didn't bring other personal guards, and didn't even want to bring Huang Zhong with him, but Huang Zhong insisted on protecting him, so Lu Yan could only bring him with him.

Since Zhao Xue, the captain of Shadow Guard Ding Ziying, was "fired", Zhou Hong, a newcomer, was slowly pushed to the front of the stage.

Seeing how much Guo Jia and Yan Feng valued him, as well as his own extraordinary ability, it is very likely that he will succeed Zhao Xue as the captain of the Shadow Guard Dingzi Battalion in the future.

There are still more than [-] miles away from Maocheng, and Zhou Hong knows a lot about the battle of Maocheng, so on the last part of the journey, Zhou Hong told Lu Yan and Huang Zhong many details of the battle of Maocheng.

After hearing the details of the battle to outmaneuver Maocheng, Huang Zhong couldn't help admiring: "A captain has such resourcefulness, the shadow guard is indeed a place where talents come forth in large numbers!"

"Senior Zhao disrupted Jiangdong's legendary existence with his own power back then, and we have always admired his wisdom!" Hearing Lao Huang's praise of the shadow guard, Zhou Hong was naturally honored, but he didn't show it.

Zhou Hong's ancestral home is Fanyang, Youzhou. He is 24 years old this year. Both of his parents died when he was young, and he only lives with his elder sister Zhou Yan.

Back then, when Yuan Shao invaded Youzhou with the intention of destroying Gongsun Zan, Zhou Hong and Zhou Yan were unfortunately separated while avoiding the war.

Zhou Hong entered Jizhou with the refugees, but Zhou Yan's whereabouts were unknown.

Later, Zhou Hong heard that Yanzhou recruited a large number of refugees, as long as those who went there would have food and land.

So Zhou Hong traveled long distances with a few familiar refugees and arrived in Yanzhou with many difficulties.

From time to time, the shadow guard will look for good seedlings worth cultivating among various groups of people. Although Zhou Hong has never read a book, he is alert, diligent and studious.

After Yan Feng discovered him, he decisively introduced him to the Shadow Guard. After three years of training, Zhou Hong has already begun to emerge in various tasks.

Fifty miles is only an hour's time.

When the three of them arrived at Mao City quickly, Lu Lingqi and the others had already been waiting outside the city for a long time.

"Last General Lu Lingqi, I have seen you sir!"

"The last general Gan Ning (Hao Zhao, Zhang Xue) has seen General Hussars!"

Seeing the arrival of the three of Lu Yan, Lu Lingqi and the others clasped their fists and bowed to Lu Yan.

Lu Yan got off his horse, came to them, and said, "Everyone, you have worked hard!"

After everyone got up, Lu Yan said to Lu Lingqi again: "How is the war on your side?"

"The high-ranking cadres have been stationed all the time." Lu Lingqi shook her head, seemingly dissatisfied, and said, "We guess that he might be tempted to surrender. It's really boring..."

Hearing this, Lu Yan showed a slight smile and said, "That's right, Gao Gan has a lot of ambitions, but it's a pity that he, like his uncle Yuan Shao, has great ambitions but no talents, and he is a good scholar but can't choose others."

"Then what should we do? Do we just watch him surrender to Duke Cao?" Lu Lingqi asked unwillingly. She really wanted to take back her hometown.

"It's time to find an excuse to transfer Gao Gan away. If he doesn't leave, there will be plenty of excuses to deal with him."

"Will this be bad?" Lu Lingqi said hesitantly.

"It's okay, Gao Gan is capricious. He surrendered now because he had no choice but to rebel if he had the chance."

Lu Yan's words undoubtedly gave Lu Lingqi a reassurance, and finally Lu Lingqi smiled and said: "Okay, just listen to the master!"

Lu Yan nodded, and then turned to Zhou Hong and said, "Zhou Hong, I will leave all the information about Bingzhou to you, and I will know all the reactions of senior officials as soon as possible!"

"Your subordinates take orders!" Zhou Hong cupped his fists and was about to leave.

But when he was about to turn around and leave, Lu Yan stopped him again, "You are tired after driving for such a long time, rest for one night before leaving, don't worry."

Zhou Hong was taken aback when he heard the words. He really didn't expect that a high-ranking person like Lu Yan would care about the feelings of a small person like him.

Zhao Xue also admired this young and handsome junior with outstanding abilities. She said, "Just listen to what you say, sir. After resting, you will have more energy to complete the task."

After being separated from his sister for so many years, it was the first time that Zhou Hong was cared about so much, not to mention the people who cared about him were Lu Yan and the legendary shadow guard Zhao Xue.

However, Zhou Hong thought to himself: "Fanfeng told me that the shadow is the institution closest to hell in this world, and it is the darkest area hidden in the light..."

Zhao Xue seemed to see Zhou Hong's thoughts, and she said again: "I don't know what Yanfeng told you, but Shadow used to be a big warm family, and Shadow Guards also regarded each other as brothers..."

Lu Yan sighed in his heart: "But it's different now..."

As the special agencies become more and more formal, the human touch will definitely become weaker and weaker. Death and intrigue will accompany everyone, and there is no room for the shadow guards to show any flaws.

But in any case, people have feelings, and Lu Yan doesn't want the shadow to be maintained only by cold dogmas and laws.

"You are all heroes of the big man, and everyone will remember your hard work and blood and tears in secret..." Glory and a sense of mission should be the ultimate goals they pursue.

Zhou Hong was suddenly a little dazed, he didn't know where to put his hands, he muttered to himself: "We... can also be heroes?"
