Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

"My lord, what happened?" Xi Zhicai and Xun You rarely saw Cao Cao sigh.

Seeing Cao Cao's appearance now, he must have encountered some difficult things.

Cao Cao handed the secret letter to Xi Zhicai and Xun You, and said: "Hedong Weigu, Fan Xian and others first obstructed Du Ji's appointment as the governor of Hedong, but they failed, so they simply collude with the Yellow Turban Army and rebel."

Xi Zhicai and Xun You were surprised when they heard the words: "This Zhong Yuanchang left on the front foot, but the Hedong scholar's back foot turned backwards... It seems that the water in Hedong County is very deep!"

"It's nothing more than worrying that the lord will touch their interests. This group of people have been enjoying themselves for too long, so they are naturally unwilling to give up their rich land." Xun You has a thorough understanding of the thoughts of this group of people.

"Yeah... I used to underestimate the power of the family."

Lu Yan had repeatedly emphasized to Cao Cao the power of the aristocratic family and the means of creating troubles, but because Cao Cao developed so smoothly, he still inevitably felt a little contempt over time.

Now the family in Hedong has taught Lao Cao a lesson with actions, and Lao Cao finally began to pay attention to it.

Shaking his head, Cao Cao was a little dissatisfied with his contempt and negligence, "A small Hedong County is still like this...the land of Hebei is full of gentry, and the lords and I have to pay attention to it."

"My lord is wise!" Xi Zhicai, who came from a poor family, has never underestimated the family, but he has never been afraid of the family, "We must not take our eyes off the rich family... When necessary, we need to use thunderous means !"

Cao Cao seemed a little hesitant when he heard the words.

Xi Zhicai saw that Cao Cao was quite jealous of the aristocratic family, so he couldn't help but cheer him up: "Actually, as long as my lord sticks to your policy, the blood-sucking roots of those aristocratic families on the big men and the common people will slowly wither.

As long as time goes by, the future family will no longer have the ability to challenge the imperial court! "

Xun You didn't speak.

He himself came from a wealthy family, and he was also one of the top families in the Han Dynasty, the Xun family.

At this moment, Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai were discussing in front of him how to pull out the "roots" that the aristocratic family had stuck on the big man and the common people, which inevitably made Xun You feel a little embarrassed.

However, both Xun You and Xun Yu are people who know the general situation. Although Cao Cao's behavior will also touch the interests of their families, comparing the two, it is undoubtedly more beneficial to the development of the country to restrict the rights of the family.

Cao Cao also saw Xun You's embarrassment, so he persuaded him kindly: "Gongda, don't worry, we don't want to completely suppress the family, but just hope that the family can develop peacefully within a safe range."

Hearing this, Xun You cupped his hands and said, "This subordinate understands the good intentions of the lord, his talents, and longevity, and my Xun family has always been low-key and honest, so I don't worry about the lord or others being unfavorable to us."

There is a Shangshu Ling Xun Yu, a Guanglu doctor Xun You, and a Xun Chen who has disappeared somewhere. The Xun family's children are all dragons and phoenixes... Your Xun family just wants to keep a low profile, but this damn strength It's not allowed either!

Cao Cao couldn't help complaining in his heart, but he didn't suspect the Xun family because of it.

Whether it is Xun Yu or Xun You, they are all gentlemen with both ability and political integrity.

Although they are more inclined to the Han family than Cao Cao, Cao Cao doesn't care about it now... because he is also for the country and society of the great Han!

Cao Cao was very pleased with his counselors. Whether it was the poor family represented by Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia, and Cheng Yu, or the aristocratic family represented by Xun Yu, Xun You, Chen Qun, etc., they all had the most basic bottom line. Disregarding the overall situation for their own interests.

Factional disputes have always been a hurdle that cannot be avoided by those in power. How to maintain the struggles of various factions at a healthy competition balance point really requires extraordinary wisdom.

Fortunately, Cao Cao himself is a man of great wisdom, at least when he is around, there is no need to worry about any problems between the various factions within the Cao family.

Chapter 333 Hedong rebellion, smoke everywhere

Hedong and Hongnong rebelled at the same time, and the only large army in Guanzhong is now assisting Lu Yan in fighting in Bingzhou.

Cao Cao had some headaches, mainly because he really couldn't draw any troops at hand now.

The army led by Xia Houyuan and others needs to assist Cao Cao to stabilize the situation in Weijun and other places.

Zhao Yun, Xia Houlan and Chen Deng are digesting Yangping County.

Cao Ren, Le Jin, and Zhang Yan guarded Zhongshan County and confronted Yuan Tan. They had taken away Xu Huang and [-] pawns before, so they must not be able to move now.

Qinghe County, Changshan County and other places have just been pacified, and the army needs to cooperate with the newly appointed officials to implement the New Deal and suppress local wealthy families and opposition forces. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were also sent to these places to perform tasks.

Therefore, Lao Cao really couldn't spare any extra troops from his side.

Although there will always be crowding, but the lesson of Hedong is right in front of us, which makes Cao Cao even more afraid to deploy troops easily... Then the important task of calming Hedong can only fall on Lu Yan and Zhong Yao in the end All the way to the body of the army.

"Looking at Mr. Lu Da's diary records, Shangdang County should be taken soon. After taking Shangdang, half of Bingzhou will be in hand, and the remaining northern counties are not in a hurry..."

Thinking of this, Cao Cao picked up his pen and began to write a letter.

In one go, Cao Cao handed the letter to Xi Zhicai and said, "Zhicai, go and ask someone to send the letter to Mr. Lu urgently."

"Sir?" Xi Zhicai was a little surprised at first, but after careful consideration, it seemed that Lu Yan was the only one who was able to put down the Hedong rebellion all the way.

"Here, this subordinate will go now!" Xi Zhicai no longer hesitated, and after agreeing with his hand, he turned and left.

"Gongda, go and contact the aristocratic families in Jizhou who are willing to join us, and tell them that I, Cao Cao, want to entertain them!"

Xun You's eyes flashed brightly, and he thought, "Is this an ordinary banquet, or a Hongmen banquet?"

Although he guessed Lao Cao's intentions in his heart, Xun You did not hesitate at all, and cupped his hands and said, "This subordinate takes orders!"

......

At this moment, Lu Yan was preparing to tentatively attack Huguan County, but the posture for attacking the city had not yet been set up, and Cao Cao's urgent military order arrived.

Lu Yan took the messenger's letter and went to the hiding place alone to watch it.

After looking at it, Lu Yan couldn't help but gasped, "Hedong rebelled again, and this time he brought Hongnong! It's endless, isn't it?!"

Most of Shangdang County has basically been swept away by the cavalry of Pound, Zhang Xiu and Lu Lingqi.

But now it seems that their previous raids were not very clean... "When dealing with these aristocratic families, we must not be merciful at all!"

Now there is only one Huguan city left that has not been conquered, but these Bingzhou troops have become a lone army, and it is only a matter of time before they break the city.

It's just that Lu Yan has no time now. If Hedong County is completely occupied by the rebel forces, they might come to Bingzhou next.

If Gao Gan united with this group of rebels, once he returned to Bingzhou, the gentry and gentry in Bingzhou would respond from all directions, and Lu Yan and others might be left alone and struggling to deal with the rebellions everywhere.

"No, troops must be dispatched as soon as possible to quell the rebellion in Hedong County. Shangdang and other counties that have been occupied have to be cleaned up again..."

Thinking of this, Lu Yan immediately stopped this tentative siege, and issued a military order to summon all the generals to discuss the matter of sending troops to Hedong.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Lu Lingqi and other generals filed in.

Lu Yan sat on the main seat, with a serious expression on his face.

After entering the big tent, Lu Lingqi came straight to Lu Yan and asked softly, "Sir, what happened?"

Lu Yan nodded and said, "We'll talk about it together when people come together."

Half an hour later, all the generals arrived.

Lu Yan looked around at the generals in the tent for a week, and finally looked at Zhong Yao, the captain of Sili, and said, "I have some bad news to tell everyone..."

Seeing Lu Yan looking at him, Zhong Yao felt a thump in his heart, and said to himself, "No way..."

When everyone heard the bad news, they even slowed down their breathing.

"Hedong, Hongnong, rebelled!"

"Sure enough!" Zhong Yao's ominous premonition came true.

"Wow!!!"

Lu Yan's words caused an uproar among the crowd.

"Hedong County is reversed again!"

"Even Hongnong turned against him!"

"If these two counties are taken by the rebels, wouldn't our retreat be cut off?"

"No, you have to take back Hedong immediately! Lu Huqi, the last general begs you to take back Hedong!"

......

Lu Yan raised his right hand, and everyone fell silent instantly.

Lu Yan continued: "Hedong officials Wei Gu and Fan Xian colluded with the Black Mountain Army led by Zhang Baiqi to rebel, which is actually fine...but what worries me the most is whether the high-ranking officer is also in Hedong County?"

Lu Yan's words made Zhong Yao's face change, and he hurriedly came out and said: "It is not ruled out! Gao Gan went to Bingzhou to find reinforcements, and the most likely place to go is Hedong County! If Gao Gan and Hedong County If the rebels unite, not only Hedong and Hongnong, but even Bingzhou will be in danger!"

At this time, Lu Lingqi suddenly said: "There are also alien races such as Xianbei and Huns in the north of Bingzhou. It is now the end of October, and the weather is getting colder. We need to be careful of aliens sending troops to plunder Bingzhou."

Lu Lingqi's reminder was timely, but now that Lu Yan was going to attack Huguan, he also had to send troops to attack the rebels in Hedong. The troops were already stretched, so there was no time to find troubles from foreigners.

After thinking for a while, Lu Yan said to his generals: "The most important thing right now is to capture Huguan City, and then quickly deploy Shangdang County to prevent foreign raids." As for counties further north, such as Taiyuan, Lu Yan really I'm powerless...

Lu Lingqi knew Lu Yan's difficulties, so of course she would not object, but she sighed in her heart: "It's just that people in Taiyuan and other places will suffer..."

Lu Yan glanced at the crowd, his gaze finally rested on Xu Huang, and shouted: "Xu Huang!"

"The last general obeys the order!" Xu Huang walked out of the queue and responded with cupped fists.

"It is possible for you to break through Huguan County within three days?"

Breaking through Huguan within three days...it's really difficult.

But Xu Huang accepted Lu Yan's military order without hesitation, and issued a military order: "If Huguan City cannot be broken within three days, the general will be punished by military law!"

Xu Huang's words were resounding, and Lu Yan was also infected by his pride, and said loudly: "Okay! You will start to attack the city with all your strength today, and I will also transfer Han Sheng from Huguankou to help you! "

"The last general takes orders!" Huang Zhong is a fierce general no less than Zhao Yun, with him joining, Xu Huang's confidence is even greater.

"You go and prepare first, when to start the siege is up to you to decide."

"Here! The last general will leave first!" Xu Huang turned around and left the big tent with a big stride.

Lu Yan looked at Pang De and Zhang Xiu again, and said, "Lu Lingqi, Pang De, Zhang Xiu!"

"The last general is here!" Lu Lingqi, Pang De and Zhang Xiu came out together, clasping their fists in salute.

"Let the three of you lead the cavalry to wipe out all the stubborn forces in Shangdang County and the southern part of Bingzhou. They must be wiped out when Huguan City is broken!"

"The last general takes orders!"

Lu Lingqi understood the meaning of the word "clear payment" in Lu Yan's words, but Pang De and Zhang Xiu were still a little confused.

But now is not the time to ask questions, it's okay to ask Lu Lingqi for advice when the mission is out.

Chapter 334 The Disaster Day of the Bingzhou Rich Family

After the task was arranged, everyone filed out.

On the way to the temporary cavalry camp, Zhang Xiu and Pound walked up to Lu Lingqi.

Zhang Xiu took a step forward and cupped his fists to ask Lu Lingqi for advice: "General Lu, may I ask what is the meaning behind Lu Huqi's words?"

To wipe out the stubborn forces, but what are the stubborn forces, and to what extent do they want to clean up?Lu Yan didn't say it clearly, so Zhang Xiu and Pang De were a little confused.

Lu Lingqi glanced at Zhang Xiu and Pang De, and said softly, "Sir, what you mean is to take advantage of this opportunity to eradicate the gentry tyrants who don't want to submit to Duke Cao."

"Hiss!" Zhang Xiu and Pound gasped when they heard the words, "Aren't we afraid that they will unite against us?"

The rebellion in Hedong was caused by the local gentry and gentry.

This gang of local snakes not only monopolized local wealth and official appointments, but now they even want to embezzle the entire Hedong County so that they can continue to be their own emperors.

Hedong has set a precedent, and there are bound to be many powerful families in Bingzhou who are secretly eager to move. Using the policy of Huairou at this time may only encourage the arrogance of the local tyrants.If they feel that the imperial court is weak and can be bullied, they will intensify their efforts, and they will never talk to you about benevolence, justice, morality, and soft-heartedness.

In troubled times, heavy scriptures should be used, and Lu Yan's instruction is to use the fastest time to disintegrate the rebellious storm that has not yet formed in Bingzhou with the force of thunder.You can win over a group of aristocratic families who are willing to surrender to the imperial court, and then clean up a group of tyrants who are stubbornly resisting and still dreaming of the emperor's dream.Only by stabilizing the rear of Bingzhou first, can they safely defend against the aliens and send troops to attack the rebels in Hedong County.

At the beginning, the rich families in Yanzhou betrayed Cao Cao and lured Lu Bu into Yanzhou. Lao Cao almost fell into the hands of Lu Bu and the powerful families in Yanzhou.

Later, it was Manchong who used the help of the Tian family, a powerful family in Dongjun, to win over a group of powerful families who took refuge in Cao Cao, and in turn suppressed other forces that opposed Cao Cao.

After being suppressed, many gentry and gentry in Yanzhou followed Chen Gongyuan to Qingzhou; those who failed to make it were almost all suppressed at the bottom and could not move.

It was precisely because the voices against Cao's group were eliminated that Cao Cao later implemented Lu Yan's new household registration and lijia system in Yanzhou, which was able to proceed smoothly.The new policies in Yanzhou and Xuzhou have been implemented to this day, and the effects are also visible to the naked eye.

Before, there was no excuse for Lu Yan to want to touch the gentry of Bingzhou. Now that they want to jump out, it just gives Lu Yan the opportunity to clean up some of the guys who are obstructive and unwilling to be honest.

After getting Lu Lingqi's explanation, Pang De and Zhang Xiu finally understood Lu Yan's intentions,

"Divide the enemy and break them...Lu Hussar really deserves to be a master of military art!" Pang De couldn't help admiring.

Zhang Xiu turned to look at Pang De, couldn't help laughing and said, "You think Lu Hussars has never been defeated, and it's just a joke?"

When Lu Lingqi heard the two of them praising her husband, she immediately showed a knowing smile, and said, "Okay, stop praising...the business matters."

"Yes, let's clean up the dregs as soon as possible, so we can send troops to help Lu Hussar suppress the rebellion in Hedong." Zhang Xiu turned back and clasped his fists at Lu Lingqi.

"According to me, Lieutenant Zhong lacks Lu Huqi's iron fist, otherwise Dong Jun would not have rebelled so easily, and even got Hongnong involved."

Seeing that Pound seemed to be admiring Lu Yan, Lu Lingqi suddenly felt that this guy could win over him?

But now Pound is still Ma Teng's subordinate in name, so it's not good to poach people from behind.

"Two generals, let's divide our troops into three groups." Lu Lingqi said to Zhang Xiu and Pang De: "Remember, if they are willing to vote for the court, then they can survive, and even promise some benefits if necessary.
