Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

"As expected!" Zhao Yun, Xia Houlan and Man Chong looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

This was just as they had expected, and it was indeed Lu Yan's navy that cut off the Jiangdong Army's retreat.

"Since the Jiangdong Army has withdrawn, Runan County is safe. Ziheng, Yijian, and Zhongmiao, let's go back to Xudu first, and I will introduce you to Prime Minister Cao." Zhao Yun said to Xia Houlan, Liu Pan, The three of Huo Jun said.

Are you meeting your new boss now?Liu Pan and Huo Jun couldn't help feeling a little nervous in their hearts, and they clasped their fists and replied to Zhao Yun: "Yes, I'll let General Zhao arrange it!"

......

"Nine Songs of the Yellow River" Han Sui betrayed Ma Teng and killed Ma Teng's family scroll, and also raided and maimed Ma Teng's army.

Han Sui did this in order to occupy a place and dominate.

As long as Ma Teng is eliminated by him, there really will be no princes in Xiliang who can compete with Han Sui, and it will be just around the corner to dominate Xiliang and even march into Sili.

"Ma Chao, the son of Ma Teng, has returned...and brought reinforcements from Cao Jun's [-] cavalry and [-] infantry."

"The commander of the [-] infantry is a literati who has never heard of it, and his name seems to be Xu Shu."

"That is a master of military art with outstanding resourcefulness and a deep understanding of how to use troops. We have suffered several times from his hands."

Han Sui took the high position and listened to Yan Xing and Cheng Gongying's reports with a serious face.

In the end, connecting their information together is actually a sentence, "Cao Cao intervened, he released Ma Chao and provided [-] reinforcements."

Han Sui changed several thoughts in an instant, and finally he spoke to Yan Xing and Cheng Gongying,

"Cao Cao hopes to use Ma Teng's hand to drag us... If Ma Teng is not eliminated as soon as possible, then we will be in danger when Cao Cao frees his hand."

Even Han Sui said that, Yan Xing asked even more worriedly: "Then what should we do next?"

After thinking for a while, Han Sui finally said: "Ma Teng is just relying on the support of Zhang Lu and Cao Cao...we can send someone to Yizhou to present the pros and cons to Liu Zhang and invite him to send troops to attack Zhang Lu. In this way, Zhang Lu's reinforcements can go!"

"Good regards, father-in-law!"

"Secondly, Ma Teng and Cao Cao's reinforcements are only 5 people. And our army now has 15 troops including the reorganized surrendered army. As long as you are careful, defeating Ma Teng is not difficult."

Han Sui now has an army of 15. Facing the combined [-] of Ma Teng and Xu Shu, his advantage is undoubtedly very obvious.

After making a small plan to ask Liu Zhang to send troops to force Zhang Lu's reinforcements away, Han Sui launched an active attack on Ma Teng and Xu Shu.

It was difficult for Ma Teng and Xu Shu to challenge Han Sui's army head-on, so they could only fight and retreat, and finally retreated to Long County, relying on the strong city to resist Han Sui's pressing.

In the middle of July in the ninth year of Jian'an, that is, on the third day after arriving in Longxian County, Han Sui completed the encirclement of the whole city.

Moreover, they rushed to make the first batch of siege equipment overnight, including the most primitive siege ladders, scull carts and rush carts.

During the period when he was preparing to attack the city, Han Sui kept sending people to scold and fight outside the city, and even humiliated Ma Teng's dead wife and daughter, just to force Ma Teng to vacate the city to fight in the field.If it weren't for Ma Chao and Xu Shu's persuasion, Ma Teng might have led his troops out to fight Han Sui to the death.

The situation in Xiliang is not very optimistic, and the withdrawal of Zhang Lu's army will undoubtedly make the situation worse.

Xu Shu knew that he and others could no longer sit still, so he decided to use the shadow guards around him to go to Chang'an to seek Zhong Yao's help.

The shadow guards were originally sent by Lu Yan to protect Xu Shu, but at critical moments, these shadow guards can play more than just guards.

A shadow guard named Wuliu came to Chang'an under Xu Shu's military order, and reported the current situation of Ma Teng and Xu Shu to Zhong Yao.

After learning about the serious situation in Xiliang, Zhong Yao decided to send Zhang Xiu and his [-]-strong headquarters troops to Long County to assist Ma Teng and Xu Shu.

......

[In the ninth year of Jian'an, in August, our army defeated the Jiangdong Navy! 】

[For this battle, I have only one thing to say: "Water warfare is bound to be redefined by our army! Great, my cannon!"]

[I have to say that the feeling of crushing primitive people with technology is really cool! 】

【Tsk tsk!I really want to see the expressions of Lao Cao and those guys who looked down on my navy when they heard that our army defeated Jiangdong's elite navy with almost no damage... It must be that the jaw dropped all over the place, if there is a camera to take pictures Enough. 】

[It's just that if you want to maintain this kind of money-burning spending for a long time in the future, your ability to make money will have to be improved. 】

[I remember seeing it somewhere, saying that there are many silver mountains in that island country, right?Why don't you secretly go to open a few mines and get some pocket money to make up for your increasingly hollowed out body? 】

Chapter 494 Wenruo, how about making a bet?

In the ninth year of Jian'an, in the middle of August.

For some unknown reason, Cao Cao suddenly gave an extra salary to the servants in the prime minister's mansion, which made everyone happy and fearful of Lao Cao's unpredictable thoughts.

The Xudu Chaohui was held normally, and the atmosphere today was the same as usual, still serious and dull.

After Xinye's partial division was defeated, Wen Pin and Fu Tong led the army to support Pang Tong. The battle in Danshui has been stalemate for more than two months, and no favorable developments can be seen for the time being.

At the same time, the Jiangdong Army and the Jingzhou Army jointly invaded Runan County, and an army of [-] was standing beside the emperor and all court ministers...

In such a crisis situation, how can we keep these ministers from sleeping and eating?

You must know that some of them have experienced the disasters in Luoyang and Chang'an. Those unbearable experiences in the past seem to have the possibility of repeating them. How can we not make them feel afraid?

The extreme disadvantage of Runan County has already made some people who are not determined to sit still.

During this period of time, the spy guards and Lao Cao laid out several officials and aristocratic families who secretly communicated with Jingzhou and Jiangdong.

But this time, Cao Cao did not forgive those people who secretly informed Yuan Shao, but took very severe measures to exile them, along with their entire family, to Youzhou Daijun for mining and steelmaking.

Today, Cao Cao strode into the court hall as usual and attended the court meeting on time.

But Xun He, who had always known Cao Cao very well, keenly felt that Cao Cao today was a little different from the days before.

"My lord's face is still serious today, but he walks briskly, with a faint red light on his face, and even the hair on his temples is meticulously taken care of... Could it be that the lord got some good news?"

When Xun You was thinking about why Cao Cao had these changes, Guo Jia behind him suddenly stepped forward and asked in his ear: "Wen Ruo, have you noticed that my lord's mood today is not as heavy as usual? "

Guo Jia's ability to read people's hearts is still sharp.

Xun Youwen nodded slightly and said: "I also have this feeling... My lord may have good news today, let's wait and see."

When Guo Jia heard the words, a flash of light flashed in his mind, then he rolled his eyes and said, "How about we make a bet?"

"Bet?" When Xun You heard that Guo Jia, a bad guy, asked for a bet, he immediately cheered up and asked vigilantly, "What do you want to bet, and what do you want to bet on? "

Guo Jia smiled, put his head into Xun or's ear and said softly, "I bet you, who will the good news announced by the lord today be related to?"

Xun Or stroked his light stubble, thought for a moment and asked, "Tell me what you want to bet first?"

This Guo Jia has a lot of eyes and tricks. Even Lu Yan suffered from him in the past, so Xun Or naturally had to guard against it.

"My son still needs a teacher now, I want you to teach him."

Xun You glanced at Guo Jia in surprise, and asked, "Hasn't your son been studying with Changsheng? With such a good teacher, you still come to me?"

As soon as Guo Jia heard Lu Yan, he glanced at his mouth in distaste and said, "Don't mention that guy... My son hasn't studied Confucianism for a day with him, and basically just recited everything.

Apart from addition, subtraction, multiplication and division every day, he is doing physical chemistry... oh yes, he also taught them what experiments to do.

After one experiment, my son burned his own eyebrows off...."

Xun Or couldn't help but shook his head and said, "Changsheng has learned all kinds of strange talents, although it seems absurd at first glance, but after careful consideration, you can find that those are all knowledge close to life.

However, the study of sages is equally important, especially in terms of cultivating moral character and conducting oneself in the world. The teachings of sages are even more deafening.Changsheng looked down on Confucianism, thinking that Confucianism is too pedantic... This is indeed a bit inappropriate. "

"I think so too, so Wen Ruo, you take my son." Guo Jia blinked his big eyes and stared at Xun Or and said.

After Xun Or stretched out his hand to push away Guo Jia's big face that was almost on his face, he replied: "That depends on whether your son is willing to learn from me."

"You don't have to worry about that, I'll take Yi'er to your house after the court meeting later!"

Xun Or pointed at Guo Jia dumbfoundingly and shook his head, Er, he asked suddenly: "You just made a bet with me, and you haven't said who it's related to."

Guo Jia smiled when he heard the words, and said a name: "Of course it's Lu Yan and Lu Changsheng!"

The friendship between Guo Jia and Lu Yan is obvious to all, and the friendship between the two of them is even called "Guan Bao's friendship".

Although I don't know why Lu Yan resisted this compliment that Xun Yu and others thought had a good meaning, but the friendship between Lu Yan and Guo Jia is indeed so good that it is very enviable.

When Lu Yan was mentioned, Xun You remembered something and asked, "By the way, what did you say you wanted to do before you lived?"

network

Guo Jia looked at Xun Or in surprise, and then replied: "Didn't Changsheng lead the navy to go to war? You don't even know this?"

"Really going to war? I thought he was joking!" Now it was Xun's turn to be surprised.

In fact, not only Xun He, but basically all the ministers, including the emperor and Cao Cao, thought that Lu Yan was just joking.

With those hundred big ships and one hundred thousand sailors who have just been trained for more than a year, how dare they really go to war with the Jiangdong and Jingzhou people who have grown up in the water?And you have to enter the sea in advance, from the sea to the Yangtze River!

Although the cannon is very powerful, no one has ever used it in actual combat... So when Xun or others heard that Lu Yan was going to lead the navy to attack Jiangdong and Jingzhou by sea, they thought it was just Lu Yan's whimsy , just wishful thinking.Play at most, and he will go home...

Guo Jia knew what Xun Ru was thinking when he saw Xun Ru's expression.

"Tsk tsk... You've been with that guy Changsheng for more than ten years, yet you still don't know him so well!" Guo Jia couldn't help but tsk tsk, and said teasingly.

"Do you really believe that he can enter the Yangtze River from the Yellow River?"

Faced with Xun He's questioning again, Guo Jia nodded resolutely and said:

"I know the character of that guy Changsheng best.

Don't look at him like that on weekdays, but every step of his work and plan is actually after careful consideration, and he will take action only after he has determined that he has a high probability of success. "

Xun Or couldn't help frowning, and asked, "You mean, he is very sure that he can enter the Yangtze River from the sea?"

"Since he dared to go, it means that he is very sure! Think about it, has he ever failed in a seemingly risky operation?"

Xun Or thought for a while, then nodded and said: "It seems that I have never failed..."

But he quickly shook his head and said: "But this is too ridiculous."

"If you don't talk nonsense, then it's not Lu Changsheng! Anyway, I dare to say that the news about the lord today is probably related to Changsheng!"

Xun Or glanced at the calm Cao Cao, and couldn't help but sighed:

"I hope so!

If Changsheng really succeeds,

Then our crisis this time can be regarded as finally having the hope of getting over it. "

Chapter 495 Someone Lu is a professional in doing things!

Emperor Liu Xie entered the main hall through the side door, and the court meeting began.

After Liu Xie sat down, he glanced at Cao Cao who was sitting on the lower left of him, and saw that his eyes were half closed and his face was still expressionless, Liu Xie sighed in his heart: "It seems that the battle has not turned around... "

After the ministers finished their salutes, Liu Xie said to everyone: "My dear friends, do you have something to announce today?"

When the emperor opened his mouth, the ministers below stepped forward step by step and told about their work or some discoveries.

Half an hour passed, and the reports of the ministers were quite satisfactory, but none of them had anything to do with the war.

Cao Cao didn't get up until no one stepped forward, bowed to Liu Xie and said, "Your Majesty, I have something important to report!"

Liu Xie stood up slightly, gave Cao Cao a little support and said, "Prime Minister, please speak!"

Cao Cao straightened his body, straightened his wrinkled clothes, and said, "I got the information last night!

After the former general Zhao Yun entered Runan County, he defeated Jiangdong's [-] troops outside Zhaoling City. He not only broke the siege of Zhaoling, but also captured three Jiangdong generals! "

As one of Cao Cao's most trusted advisers, Cheng Yu was also called back recently.

He was stroking his beautiful long beard and listening to Lao Cao report the battle situation to the emperor.

But suddenly when he heard that the battle happened outside Zhaoling City, he couldn't help trembling, and he couldn't help but force his hands, almost pulling off his beard.

Cheng Yu grinned his teeth in pain, but he didn't care too much, his eyes fixed on Cao Cao.

At this time, it is different from modern times, the information message is blocked and transmitted very slowly.

If Cao Cao hadn't mentioned it at the court today, Cheng Yu wouldn't even have known that Zhaoling, where his son was staying, had been besieged!

"Okay!" Liu Xie slapped his thigh immediately when he heard the words, and applauded loudly, "As expected of the ever-victorious General Zhao Zilong, it is really extraordinary to have him out!"

Cao Cao waited for Liu Xie to calm down, and then he continued to report: "Zilong mentioned a person in the military report sent back, saying that it was because of his persistence and tenacious resistance that Runan's last line of defense could barely hold up. To the aid of Zilong's army."

Cheng Yu's heart moved, and he said to himself: "That person, he wouldn't say it was my son, would he?"

Cao Cao turned around, looked at Cheng Yu, and said:

"That person is Cheng Wu!

The son of Shangshu and Jiyin prefect Cheng Yu and Cheng Zhongde!

In Zhao Zilong's battle report, it is stated that Cheng Wu is both civil and military, with great ambition, calm and tenacious personality!
