Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

Now I would like to ask General Xia and General Deng to follow me to meet Lu Hussar first, and after the military situation here and the merits of the two of you are delivered to the prime minister, the court will reward the two generals for their merits! "

When Deng Sheng and Xia Zhao heard this, they couldn't help but said, "So, thank you General."

......

Xu Huang led the army to replace the guards in Huguan City, while Huang Zhong and Deng Sheng led Xia Zhaohou's [-] troops to Lu Yan's camp.

In three days, Xu Huang broke through Huguan City as promised, and because it was outsmarted, Cao Jun suffered very few casualties.

At this moment, Lu Yan is receiving the compliments from everyone in the big tent of the Chinese army.

"General Xu took Huguan City out of his wits, Lu Hushi really knows people with his eyes!"

"Cao Gong has a lot of talents under his command, but at least half of them come from the excavations of Lu Hussars... His subordinates sincerely admire them!"

"The admiration my subordinates have for Lu Hussar is like a torrent of rivers..."

To be honest, even though Lu Yan was very thick, he still felt a little uncomfortable in the Chinese military tent that turned into a large-scale boasting scene.

He raised his hand to stop everyone's flattery, and said: "It is the duty of a courtier to recruit talents for the court. Don't praise too much."

"No, no, no! There are too many people in this world who are jealous of talents, and there are too few people who can selflessly promote talents...With Lu Hussar, you are here, Cao Gong is so sad...Sorry for my slip of the tongue...Sorry, sorry..." Ma Teng seemed to realize that he had slipped his tongue, and apologized repeatedly.

Chapter 337 Bingzhou Xianbei

Ma Teng seemed to realize that he had slipped his tongue, and immediately apologized to Lu Yan non-stop.

"This guy has always been mature and prudent, but he doesn't seem like someone who can accidentally leak..." Lu Yan looked at Ma Teng, changed his mind, and said secretly: "It seems that he came here on purpose to test Boss Cao's thoughts gone."

Sure enough, people who have lived a long time and become princes along the way are not fuel-efficient lamps.

Although Ma Teng was a little vacillating, he was quite popular no matter whether he was in Xiliang or Sanfu.

"Be prepared for barbarians in the north, white cavalry in the east, wait for scholars to be worthy, and save the lives of the people",

What he has done, in general, is still very popular with the people.

Moreover, Ma Teng can be regarded as a relatively loyal prince of the Han Dynasty, and he is also one of the only two forces close to Cao Cao in the Han Dynasty.

Ma Teng is also ambitious, but compared to Ma Chao, he knows how to restrain himself.

Historically, Ma Teng and Han Sui had a quarrel, and the two sides attacked each other for nearly ten years. In the end, Ma Teng fell into a disadvantage and had to seek refuge with Cao Cao.At that time, Ma Teng accepted the imperial edict and became an official in Xuchang.

But now Han Sui and Ma Teng have not yet reached the point of separation, but we still have to be prepared for this matter.

Lu Yan felt that it was obviously safer to leave Ma Teng outside than to leave Ma Chao outside.At least Ma Teng will not rebel against Cao Cao for the sake of territory, and personally send his parents, wife, children and members of the three tribes to Cao Cao's butcher's knife...

As long as Ma Teng does not rebel, one of the many forces in Xiliang will always exist representing Cao Cao, and the people of Xiliang will not be able to form a single bond.When Cao Cao wants to annex Xiliang in the future, the difficulty will naturally drop a lot.

Thinking of this, Lu Yan said to Ma Teng: "General Ma, the series of battles in Bingzhou and the previous East County are thanks to you and General Han's joint efforts to help. I think your rewards will be issued together soon. I hope that your Xiliang army can continue to serve the imperial court in the future."

Ma Teng and Han Sui immediately stood up and said, "Thank you Lu Hushi, thank you Prime Minister Cao!"

......

Xu Huang stayed in Huguan City, and Huang Zhong brought Deng Sheng and Xia Zhao to Lu Yan's barracks.

When he entered the main tent of the Chinese army, Lu Yan was looking at the military news from the Shadow Guards from Hedong County by himself.

Seeing Huang Zhong, Deng Sheng, and Xia Zhao come in, Lu Yan said with a smile: "The safety around Shangdang County will trouble the two generals in the future!"

Lu Yan's words undoubtedly reassured Deng Sheng and Xia Zhao.

But they also recalled the fact that high officials were forced to enter Xuchang to become officials. Under this comparison, they immediately understood, "Prime Minister Cao, oh no, it's the lord... So it turns out that the lord is only targeting high officials! "

Thinking of this, Deng Sheng and Xia Zhao were even a little excited in their hearts, "The last general Deng Sheng (Xia Zhao) is willing to be the prime minister, to lay down the ground for the court, and he will die!"

"Very good..." Lu Yan still nodded with a smile, and continued: "You two have lived in Bingzhou for a long time, and you should be most aware of the dangers of the alien races in the north. I want to know, what do you think of the alien races in the north?"

Seeing that winter is about to enter, the alien races in the north are starting to move around, and they may one day extend their butcher knives to the people of Bingzhou.

After Deng Sheng and Xia Zhao looked at each other, Deng Sheng said with a serious face, "When you return to Luhuqi, the general thinks that compared with the remnants of the Huns, a few Wuhuan and Qiang people, the Xianbei people entrenched in the northern part of Bingzhou should be valued the most. !"

Speaking of Bingzhou Xianbei, Lu Yan couldn't help but have a lot of information related to Bingzhou in his mind.

The Xianbei Department of Bingzhou was commanded by Budugen, and its base camp was located on the fertile grassland between the northern part of Bingzhou and Youzhou.If the Xianbei tribe of Bingzhou is stronger, they can attack Bingzhou in the south, or attack the Xianbei tribe in Youzhou in the east.

Fortunately, the strength of the Xianbei tribe is not strong, so capturing Bingzhou and Youzhou is just a dream of their leaders for generations.

Xianbei once had a very great commander named Tan Shihuai.He is brave and strong, full of strategy, and full of hostility towards big men.During the years when he was in charge of Xianbei, the border county of Dahan was repeatedly plundered by Xianbei people.

Tan Shihuai also referred to the model of the Huns in the past, dividing the various parts of Xianbei into three parts: east, middle and west, each with its own theater of war.

The Eastern Xianbei theater includes: Youbeiping, Liaoxi, Xuantu, and Liaodong four counties;

The battle zone of the central Xianbei includes: Yuyang, Shanggu, two counties;

The western Xianbei theater includes Daijun, Yanmen, Dingxiang, Yunzhong, Wuyuan, Shuofang and other counties.

Tan Shihuai set up his royal court on Danhan Mountain in the north of the Great Wall. This location is located at the intersection of the Yanshan Mountains and the remaining veins of the Yinshan Mountains. It is very convenient to send troops to the three major plates of the Hetao area, the Shanxi Plateau, and the North China Plain. .

After Han Lingdi succeeded to the throne, the Xianbei people who had completed internal integration invaded Youzhou, Bingzhou, and even Liangzhou every year.Not only the border counties in the northern part of the Great Han Dynasty, but also the Puyu people in the northeast region and the Wusun people in the Tianshan region have all encountered attacks from the Xianbei people.The whole situation is just like the Xiongnu Empire in its heyday when the Han Dynasty was first established.

The Xianbei Empire during the Tanshihuai period gradually became stronger, and even the Eastern Han Dynasty felt tremendous pressure.

At that time, the Eastern Han Dynasty thought of using the means of conferring the king and making peace to restrain Tan Shihuai's ambitions, but Tan Shihuai rejected them all.After that, the tough military actions taken by the Eastern Han Dynasty against Xianbei also suffered repeated failures.The Hetao counties west of Yanmen have been completely reduced to the land of Xianbei, and even the northern area of ​​Yanmen County with Pingcheng as the center has also become the territory of Xianbei.

However, Xianbei, which was still thriving, ushered in a huge setback, so that its development stopped abruptly, and then declined rapidly.

Because in 181 AD, Tan Shihuai died!

As soon as Tan Shihuai died, Xianbei immediately fell into a serious state of division.The position of Xianbei Shanyu changed hands several times, and finally passed to his grandson Budugen.

Compared with the later generations of the Mongolian Empire, which also came from the Donghu lineage, the family of the descendants of Tan Shihuai can be called the "Xianbei Golden Family".It is a pity that the descendants of Tanshihuai are not as strong as the descendants of Genghis Khan.

The "Xianbei Golden Family" represented by Budugen controlled only the area from Danhan Mountain to Pingcheng.Ke Bineng, the leader of the central Xianbei, and the eastern Xianbei represented by Su Li, were not willing to accept his restraint.

In addition, the western Xianbei in Hetao, Hexi and other areas also went their own way, and this part of Xianbei included Tuoba Xianbei who would later rule the Central Plains.

Bu Dugen had the intention to unify the various ministries of Xianbei, but it was just intentional and powerless.

Kebi in the east has a strong army, a large number of people, and great ambitions...Kebi can lead his troops to attack Budu, Budu has to be thankful to grandpa, let alone let Budugen take the initiative to find Ke Binneng trouble.

Xia Zhao's words reminded Lu Yan of many things, but he vaguely remembered, "Bingzhou Xianbei Budugen seems to be close to the old Cao's family, right?"

Thinking of this, Lu Yan changed his mind, and secretly said: "I wonder if there is any chance to win over Budugen now?"

Chapter 338 Returning to Hadong County!

Seeing that Lu Yan was deep in thought, Xia Zhao and Deng Sheng didn't dare to interrupt Lu Yan's thinking, so they could only stand with their hands down and wait quietly.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for Lu Yan to come back to his senses. He said to Xia Zhao and Deng Sheng: "The Xianbei, Xiongnu, Qianghu and other alien races are likely to plunder Bingzhou Bianjun in the near future. Shangdang County and counties to the south, I wonder if you two think it is feasible?"

Xia Zhao heard the words, his face showed joy and said: "The general thinks it should be like this!"

Deng Sheng also clasped his fists and said, "Everyone knows Lu Hushi and Prime Minister Cao's love for the people. If people are ordered to move south in the name of Lu Huqi and Prime Minister Cao, they will definitely not refuse!"

"Very good!" Lu Yan nodded, and said, "You can tell the people in Bianjun that if they are willing to move south, each household will be allocated fertile land according to their head, and each person will have five acres of land. There will be no deception."

Xia Zhao and Deng Sheng were frightened by Lu Yan's generosity, and they asked: "But Lu Huqi, almost all the fertile land in the southern part of Bingzhou is owned by the owner. How can there be so many fertile land to distribute to the people?"

The corners of Lu Yan's mouth turned slightly, and he said in a low tone: "Don't worry, there will be a large piece of unowned fertile land soon..."

"This... some people are going to suffer!" Deng Sheng and Xia Zhao looked at each other, and they felt a little pity for those gentry and gentry...

When Deng Shengxia Zhao left the Chinese army's tent, he happened to meet Lu Lingqi, Pang De, and Zhang Xiu walking towards the Chinese army's tent hand in hand.

When several people passed by, Deng Sheng and Xia Zhao clearly smelled a strong smell of blood from the three of them.

"Hiss!" Xia Zhao gasped, bowed his head and whispered in Deng Sheng's ear, "Did you smell it? It smells so strong! How many people did they kill this time?!"

After making a silent gesture, Deng Sheng said, "As long as our family is fine, why should you bother with this?"

"That's right... Our brothers are going to be promoted soon. It's a pity that we didn't meet them sooner."

"Compared to Cao Cheng, Lu Huqi is many times stronger than Cao Cheng. There are so many heroes in the world~~!"

The three of Lu Lingqi walked into the big tent of the Chinese army, clasped their fists and bowed and said: "The last general and others fulfilled their mission and recruited a large number of powerful soldiers who were willing to serve Duke Cao. As for those who resisted, I also taught them a profound lesson. .”

"Thank you for your hard work!" Lu Yan stood up, and then asked with a smile: "From what you mean, it seems that there are quite a lot of local aristocratic families willing to serve Duke Cao?"

When Lu Lingqi heard this, she immediately grinned and said, "That's right! You don't even look at who my father is!"

"Lu Bu?" Lu Yan suddenly said, "That's right! Marquis Wen was born in Bingzhou, so his prestige will be everywhere in Bingzhou!"

Lu Bu was born in Jiuyuan County, Wuyuan County, Bingzhou, and served in the prefecture by virtue of his bravery.

But when Lu Bu was under the governor of Bingzhou Ding Yuan, he was only a civil servant (master book), and his reputation was not obvious at that time. Lu Bu's real fame all over the world had to be after he joined Dong Zhuo.

Cao Jun invaded Bingzhou, but Gao Gan left Bingzhou, which made many local families feel panic and confused.

However, Miss Lu's sudden appearance at this time undoubtedly made many Bingzhou natives regain their backbone in an instant.

Lu Bu was originally from Bingzhou, and he was a world-famous prince.If Lu Bu's daughter, Lu Lingqi, came to recruit her in person, the fellow villagers wouldn't treat them badly, right?

Although all the families in the world know the restrictive attitude Lu Yan and Cao Cao take towards the family, the Xun family, Chen family, Yang family and other aristocratic families who have always followed Cao Cao are doing well now, aren't they?Although they have lost a little bit of benefits, they can get long-term peace and development with peace of mind. This business is actually not a loss!

The wealthy gentry of Bingzhou made the most correct choice immediately after figuring out the joints involved.

Therefore, when the cavalry of Lu Lingqi and others appeared in the south of Bingzhou, many aristocratic families in the south of Bingzhou immediately surrendered, and even took the initiative to expose several powerful families who were secretly planning to raise troops to respond to the rebels in Hedong County.

Lu Lingqi welcomed and appeased the aristocratic families who were willing to join the Cao Group, but for those tyrants who dared to do things secretly, there was only one word, "Kill!"

The lessons of Hedong County are vivid, so whether it is Lu Lingqi, Pang De, or Zhang Xiu, they all adopted the method of mass killing.

A few times of swift and vigorous raids made those guys who were secretly planning to kill them terrified.

However, Cao Jun only needs to wipe out their vital forces, and there is no need to kill these rebels one by one... because the rest of the matter will be handled by the gentry and gentry who have taken refuge in Cao Cao.

The Yanzhou aristocratic family has proved with facts that their suppression of those gentry is often more vicious than Cao Jun's swords and guns...

Hearing that most of the aristocratic families in Bingzhou were willing to surrender to Cao Cao, Lu Yan felt a little tricky instead.

After thinking for a while, Lu Yan asked Lu Lingqi: "If too many people join in, then the fields in the southern part of Bingzhou may not be enough for the people who have returned from the border county to share!"

Pang De suddenly stood up at this time, and said with a smile: "Back to Lu Hussars, the general of Zhendong has already thought of this situation...so every family and gentry who 'voluntarily' volunteered for the imperial court must give up more than half of the land Come and vote!"

Lu Yan looked at Lu Lingqi, then gave a thumbs up and said, "It's very well done! But be careful not to mess with it."

"Thank you for your compliment, sir. I will be very careful in the end." Lu Lingqi was praised by her husband, and she laughed so hard that her eyebrows could not be seen.

On the battlefield, Lu Zhendong, who is like a god of iron and blood, actually has such a beautiful and tender side?The scene in front of him almost made Zhang Xiu and Pang De beside him crazy.

"Ahem!" Lu Yan coughed twice, bringing Zhang Xiu and Pang back to reality.

The two of them knew they were impolite and hurriedly cupped their fists to apologize: "The general is impolite, please punish Lu Hussar!"

"It's okay." Lu Yan waved his hand and said, "Seeing that it's the early winter season, the northern nomads are likely to go south to plunder the Han border county. I have ordered Xia Zhao and Deng Sheng to persuade the people of the border county to move to the southern part of Bingzhou... ..As for the task of covering the migration of the people, Lingqi, I will leave it all to you."

Lu Lingqi took a step forward, and replied solemnly: "The final general will definitely live up to Mr.'s entrustment!"

Lu Yan nodded, looked at Pang De and Zhang Xiu again, and said, "Two generals, please go back and tell Lieutenant Zhong to get ready. This general will go to Hedong County with you tomorrow to fight against the rebels!"

Pang De and Zhang Xiu couldn't help but glanced at each other when they heard the words, and they both saw joy in each other's eyes.

After receiving Lu Yan's order, Pang De and Zhang Xiu immediately clasped their fists together and said, "I'll go back and tell Captain Sili immediately!"

After all, no one likes to have their back route copied, this feeling is really uncomfortable.

Tomorrow, I can finally set off to return to Hedong County, "Damn traitors, are you ready to bear the wrath of your grandpas?!"

Chapter 339 The Old Man Has Died

In the sixth year of Jian'an, at the beginning of December, it rained lightly.

The weather is getting colder and colder. According to the division of modern temperatures, today's temperature probably only hovers between a few degrees and minus a few degrees.Coupled with the intermittent light rain, today looks extraordinarily cold.

On the forest path, a group of people stared carefully at the slippery road, moving forward cautiously.

The one walking in the front is Cao Cao wearing the latest cotton-padded clothes and a thick cloak... Behind Cao Cao are his three sons, Cao Ang, Cao Pi, and Cao Zhang.Behind Cao Ang and the others were Xu Chu and a dozen guards.

Cao Cao and his party walked through the forest and came to an open field.

Not far ahead, there is a huge and luxurious cemetery.

Cao Cao looked up at the cemetery in front of him, and murmured: "It's almost there..." Afterwards, he quickened his pace and walked towards the cemetery of his former friend.

In the cemetery ahead is buried Cao Cao's strongest opponent and childhood best friend, Yuan Shao.

When they walked more than ten steps away from the cemetery, Cao Ang, Cao Pi, and Cao Zhang obediently stood where they were, and let Cao Cao go under Yuan Shao's tombstone alone.

Cao Cao took out the wine jug and two wine glasses from his arms, and filled the two glasses with wine.
