Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

After finally dismissing these unusually warm and hospitable aristocratic families, before Xu Shu could leave Dongjun, a handsome young general with a heroic temperament approached him first.

In the small courtyard that Chen Deng provided for Xu Shu to live temporarily, Ma Chao knocked on the door and asked Xu Shu, "Are you Mr. Xu Shu and Xu Yuanzhi?"

Xu Shu sized Ma Chao up and down, and after confirming that he didn't know him, he asked, "It's my servant. I don't know how the general knows me?"

Although Ma Chao didn't wear armor, Xu Shu guessed his identity in the first place thanks to the aura and bloody smell of years of fighting on the battlefield.

Ma Chao took out Lu Yan's autographed letter from his pocket, and said, "This is the letter Lu Hussar asked me to deliver to you, please read it."

"Lu Hussar?!" A light flashed in Xu Shu's eyes, and after receiving the letter, he began to read it carefully.

After carefully reading Lu Yan's letter, Xu Shuwei said to himself, "So it is!"

After expressing his emotions, Xu Shu cupped his hands to Ma Chao and said, "It turns out he is the son of General Ma Teng... The people in the mountains and fields don't understand etiquette, so please forgive me, General."

Ma Chao hastily returned a salute, and then asked: "Since Mr. Yuanzhi has already understood the inside story, would you like to follow me to Xiliang?"

This is a good opportunity to make great contributions. How many people can encounter such a good thing when they first become officials?

Xu Shu is not stupid, of course he will not let go of this opportunity, "Since it was arranged by Lu Huqi, I will naturally follow my orders."

"Great! Then you will be my military advisor from now on." Ma Chao was overjoyed, and then asked: "Dare to ask the military advisor, what should we do next?"

"Although General Ma has Zhang Lu's help, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to resist Han Sui's army for a long time." Xu Shu took two steps, and then said, "General Meng Qi, we are leaving for Chenliu now. Wait for Lu Huan to promise you After the ten thousand fine riders are ready, you rush back to Xiliang as quickly as possible to help General Ma defend Hanyang County."

"What about you?"

"I will lead the rest of the infantry to rush as soon as possible from the waterway. Before I arrive, you'd better not take the initiative to attack so as not to be ambushed, just hold the line of defense firmly!"

"waterway?"

"That's right, the waterway!" Xu Shu said with a smile, "The navy built by Lu Hussars is not just for display. Our infantry can just pass through the navy and drive from the Yellow River to Sansuke!"

"That's great, starting from the waterway can save a lot of time!"

After discussing with Xu Shu, Ma Chao and Xu Shu rushed back to Chen Liu together.

When they returned to Chenliu, the ten thousand elite riders were ready.

Lu Lingqi personally handed over the tiger talismans of the ten thousand cavalrymen to Ma Chao, and said, "These are our good brothers who were born and died together, Meng Qi, you must cherish them."

Ma Chao solemnly took the Tiger Talisman, cupped his fists and said, "Don't worry, general, they are also my brothers of Ma Chao, and I will not let them sacrifice at will."

Lu Lingqi nodded. To be honest, she still has a good impression of this straightforward boy, "Go, Meng Qi, and let them see that the soldiers of our Wolf Riding Battalion are a group of invincible hungry wolves!"

Ma Chao knelt down on one knee, straightened his waist, and said to Lu Lingqi: "Don't worry, general, the general will not insult the reputation of the Wolf Riding Camp!"

Amidst the sound of sending off drums, Ma Chao led his army and galloped away.

Although Ma Chao left, Ma Yunlu stayed.

The two siblings thought they needed someone to stay as a hostage after all, so Ma Chao left and Ma Yunlu chose to stay.

Ma Yunlu is also a hero in a female high school, so Lu Lingqi will naturally not let go of the opportunity to win over Ma Yunlu... Tsk tsk, the Ma family has been trapped by another person before I know it.

In addition to the [-] fine cavalry assigned to Ma Chao by the Wolf Cavalry Battalion, Cao Cao also dispatched [-] infantry to support Xiliang.Although this army is not the most elite, it is also veterans who have been on the battlefield and are well equipped.

Xu Shu was appointed by Lu Yan as a military adviser, General Zhonglang, who will lead [-] infantry to assist Ma Chao in fighting against Han Sui.The navy will send them to Sansuke, which is also a good time to check the results of the navy's recent training.

With the [-] troops sent by the imperial court from the Central Plains, plus some support from Chang'an Zhongyou, Ma Teng could turn defeat into victory immediately, but at least he could stabilize his position and then slowly reverse the situation.

......

[In the eighth year of Jian'an, at the beginning of July, it was sunny. 】

[I've been so busy these past few months that I've been a little dizzy, and even my wife's outing trip that I promised my wife was cancelled...I also allocated [-] fine riders from her wolf riding camp yesterday, I really feel sorry for her...]

[Luoyang is being rebuilt, the navy has not yet formed, and the artillery and warships are still being built... Now is the critical stage of recuperation (burning money). In any case, Xiliang must not be dominated by one family. Especially now the most hopeful to unify Xiliang is Han Sui, the old silver coin. 】

[But now that Ma Chao is back, and with the help of Xu Shu, even if he can't defeat Han Sui, it shouldn't be a problem to delay it for a year or so. 】

[As long as we get through this difficult time, our overall strength will be greatly improved.At that time, let alone Han Sui, even if all the princes join forces to attack, we will not hesitate at all! 】

While writing, Lu Yan felt a little dazed.

There are too many things recently, and he is already so busy that he can't tell the difference between south, east and north.

At the beginning, a steel factory was established, and artillery was built; then a shipyard was built non-stop, and a navy was established; finally, a cement factory came, and it was busy again...

And when these things first started, all of them were extremely money-burning owners, even Chen Liu, who was rich and powerful, couldn't bear it.

Chapter 442 Someone Has Always Been Very Good at Making Money

[It's really cool to burn money, but the feeling of being hollowed out after the cooldown is really uncomfortable. 】

[The money in Chen Liu's treasury is about to bottom out...what should I do? 】

[If you want to ask Boss Cao for some points, I am not the only beneficiary of these things... You can also ask Liu Xie for further sponsorship, after all, his face has also been unprecedentedly maintained...]

[But no matter what, I still have to find a way to get more money. It’s really hard for a penny to beat a hero...]

After writing some recent thoughts here and there, Lu Yan closed the diary and murmured, "I don't think there will be any important work tomorrow. It's not too much to go out for a walk..."

【Ding! 】

The voice of the system sounded in Lu Yan's mind,

[Diary synchronization complete! 】

[Diary content evaluation: Class B, the grade of rewards remains unchanged. 】

[Rewards are being generated, please wait...]

[Congratulations to the host, you got: Qiqiao Qingxin Pill x1]

[Qiqiao Qingxin Pill: After taking it, various abnormal states can be relieved immediately, and a small amount of internal and physical strength can be restored.After ordinary people take it, they will immediately relieve various poisoning states and improve their physical fitness by a small amount. 】

Lu Yan spread his palms and stared at the green elixir in his hand. There seemed to be a very important idea in his mind, but he couldn't think of it for a while.

"No, there must be something very important that I forgot... What the hell is it???"

Lu Yan circled back and forth in the room, tapping his forehead from time to time.

"What...what the hell is it?"

"Is it equipment, books, elixirs, materials or..." When Lu Yan thought about this, he suddenly grasped the extremely important information, "It's elixirs! Xueyan Dan!"

"That's right, it's Xueyan Pill! That magic pill that can make people stay young forever!"

Xueyan Pill can keep people youthful, but its biggest problem is that it is poisonous and its toxicity is unknown, so Lu Yan has always regarded it as a tasteless existence before, and threw it in the box for a long time to eat ashes.

But now there is Qiqiao Qingxin Pill, which can relieve various poisoning states of ordinary people and improve physical fitness by a small amount.

Wouldn't it be heaven-defying if these two goods were combined? ? ?

"I found it!" Lu Yan finally found Xueyan Dan from the huge glove box. He was already in the process of searching, and he thought of an excellent way to make money. "Put these two things together. Put it together and hold an auction to sell it, wouldn't it be to make money from it?!"

Thinking of this, Lu Yan suddenly became refreshed, and forgot about going out for an outing tomorrow, "You can borrow Mr. Cao's Wangde Building for the venue, and there are many dignitaries there, and the news can be spread as soon as possible."

Lu Yan felt that this matter was very interesting, so he dug out a few more exquisite gadgets rewarded by the system, and prepared to put them up for auction together.

Think about it and do it, Lu Yan has always been vigorous and resolute when it comes to making money!

When he came to Xuchang City, Lu Yan went straight to Wangde Building.

It happened to be a coincidence that the two bosses of Wangde Building, Mr. Cao and Cao De, happened to be checking the accounts at the Wangde Building.

After Lu Yan explained his intention of coming to the two of them clearly, Lao Cao and Xiao Lao Cao, who had already practiced golden eyesight in the business world, immediately sensed an excellent business opportunity!

Mr. Cao said to Lu Yan: "Longsheng, I have always admired you the most... Not only are your martial arts and martial arts second to none in the world, but your business skills are almost unmatched. Our two masters promise to organize this auction for you. Sure. But there is a condition, and I hope you can agree to us, Changsheng."

Lu Yan knew what Cao Song wanted to do without even thinking about it, so he replied: "From now on, the auction will only be held in your Wangde Building, and you can also organize the auction yourself."

When Cao Song heard this, he laughed and said, "Sure enough, you know me best, Changsheng, and you are much more exciting than that silly boy Meng De!"

"Thank you, Mrs. Cao, for your compliment." Lu Yan cupped his hands in thanks, and then added: "But I still have to remind you two that the items in the auction should not be too ordinary, since the one with the highest price will get it, naturally you have to pay attention to its attractiveness.

Moreover, the auction must be held in a high-end atmosphere, so that people with status, status and wealth can be attracted to participate.

The venue and service staff should also give guests a sense of identity and dignity..."

Cao Song and Cao De sat very upright, with their hands on their knees, listening carefully to Lu Yan's eloquent explanation.

They are like two students now, listening to the teacher's class seriously.

After more than half an hour, Lu Yan finally stopped, picked up the tea on the table and drank it down.

Cao Song and Cao De were still in a daze. This was a sign that they had received too much advanced knowledge at one time, which caused their own thinking and cognition to be a little confused.

All kinds of matters have been explained almost, and Lu Yan didn't stay any longer, giving time to Cao Song and Cao De to slowly digest today's knowledge.

Lu Yan got up and saluted, "Old Master Cao, Mr. Cao, I still have official duties, so I will take my leave."

Cao Song and Cao De got up quickly, bowed and said in return: "Congratulations to Mr. Lu!"

......

Cao Song and Cao De's actions were very fast. In just half a month, the auction venue of Wangde Building has been completely remodeled.

Immediately afterwards, Wangdelou began to distribute invitation letters, inviting well-known families and wealthy businessmen from Yingchuan, Chenliu, Dongjun and other places to meet at Wangdelou in Xuchang City on August [-]th.

The invitation also said that not only will there be many rare gadgets at the auction, but there will also be peerless treasures exclusively sponsored by Lu Hushi, everyone will compete fairly, and the highest bidder will win.

As soon as the novel way of buying and selling "auction" appeared, it immediately spread all over the country, attracting the attention of a large number of people.

But because only a very small number of people with a head and a face can receive the invitation letter, most people can only watch the excitement.

Before the [-]th day of August arrived, a large number of noble and wealthy businessmen had already gathered in Xuchang City.

In fact, they are not very interested in those rare gadgets. What they are really interested in is the legendary "peerless treasure" that Lu Yan will put up for auction!

Everyone in the upper circles knew that Lu Yan would "refine" some elixir with special effects from time to time, or would suddenly take out a treasure that he had never seen before.The physique pills and Yizhi pills that Cao Cao and his family often take, as well as the Ningshenyu that Cao Cao never leaves his body, are the best proof.

Many people have long been greedy for these things exclusive to the Cao family. Now that they have the opportunity to see the details from the auction house, these people are naturally very enthusiastic.

Although Cao Cao did not come to the auction held in Wangde Building this time, Cao Pi and Cao Zhi came to Xuchang.Obviously, Cao Cao is also very interested in what Lu Yan is about to put up for auction.

Chapter 443 The Cao Brothers

Cao Pi is 16 years old this year, and Cao Zhi is only 11 years old this year. They usually stay at home to study, and rarely have the opportunity to go out alone.

This time, Wangde Building in Xuchang City organized an auction event, because it was held by the old man, so they got Cao Cao's special permission to come to Xuchang to support the old man.

After all, it was a commercial event, and it was not good for Cao Cao or Cao Ang, Cao Cao's successor, to come forward, but Cao Pi and Cao Zhi had no scruples about it, so they were the only two who came.

Cao Pi is a stable young man with both civil and military skills, but he looks like a honest young man on the surface, but in fact he is a person with a lot of eyes.

Cao Zhi was quick in thinking and highly intelligent. Xie Lingyun of the Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty even said that "there is only one stone in the world, and Cao Zijian monopolizes the Eight Dou".However, Cao Zhi's attainments in literature are extremely high, but he is not even worthy of carrying Cao Pi's shoes in politics.

But now they basically have no chance to compete for the successor. Cao Cao has already selected Cao Ang as the successor, a person who Cao Pi and Cao Zhi admire from the bottom of their hearts.

Cao Ang is much older than the second child Cao Pi.He is also capable of both civil and military affairs, and he is also a good hand in military affairs.

Moreover, Cao Ang is filial to his parents and loves his brothers very much, so he has been recognized by all Cao clansmen, not to mention Cao Ang also has the support of a group of veterans, advisers, and Lu Yan's lineage.

In this situation of absolute crushing, even if Cao Pi intends to compete for the position of the son, he has no chance of winning at all, so it is better to be honest and happy as a son.

Cao Zhi hasn't been back to Xuchang City for half a year, and everything he sees now feels very novel.

A group of more than ten of them wandered around Xuchang for a long time, when Cao Zhi suddenly said to Cao Pi: "Second brother, it's almost noon, let's go eat something first."

Originally, Cao Pi wanted to visit the legendary Goulan Land again, but Cao Zhi was still a little hindered by his side.

But it's not suitable to go to Goulan in broad daylight, so he agreed: "Okay, let's go to the restaurant in front to have something to eat."

Cao Pi and Cao Zhi led the guards into the restaurant.

This restaurant is owned by Chen Deng's family, and its business is very booming on weekdays.

Recently, because the auction has attracted a large number of outsiders to Xuchang, almost every restaurant in Xuchang is full, and it is even more difficult to find a seat.

After entering, a mistress greeted her.

Although Cao Pi and Cao Zhi are plainly dressed, their own temperament and the guards behind them all show their distinctive identities.

Xiaoer has been in contact with all kinds of people and has long practiced the ability to recognize people at a glance. When he saw Cao Pi and Cao Zhi and his party coming in, he immediately came up to greet him graciously and said, "My lords, the hall is full. One private room left..."

Before Xiaoer finished speaking, Cao Zhi, who was always outspoken, said: "Shao Moji, we will order the private room, and all the good wine and food will be served. My brother is not short of money!"

"Two young masters, please follow me!" Hearing this, Xiao Er bent even lower.

But Cao Pi laughed dumbly and said: "Don't listen to him... We have the private room, and we can choose some more distinctive dishes. As for the wine, let's forget it, my father won't let us drink."

Cao Zhi pursed his lips and muttered in a low voice: "Why do you have to drink later? I really don't know where my father got the rules..."
