In Yecheng, Jizhou, Hebei.
The former capital of Hebei, the original Yuan Shaoyuan, the overlord of Hebei, commanded the Quartet's city, but now it has become someone else's spoils of war, and everything in Yuan Shao's mansion has become Cao Cao's possession.
The Grand General's Mansion has now been renamed An Le Mansion. This is a naked ridicule, but who makes him the winner.
In the mansion of the great general, a black fat man is literally bursting with laughter. He is holding one in his left arm, another in his right hand, and another sitting in his arms. Surrounded by flowers, this fat man is about to become the happiest man in the world. Fatty.
"The prime minister came to my slave's house to feed you!" A beautiful woman smiled and stepped forward to pick up a fruit with her hands and then fed it to the big black and fat Prime Minister Cao Cao. Cao Cao ate the first one and licked it along the way. Licked, that green onion finger caused a charming smile.
"Prime Minister's servant also feeds you!" Another beautiful woman beside her was a little jealous, she twisted her Weimiao body and walked up to Cao Cao to feed Cao Cao, but Cao Cao refused.
"What's the matter with you, Prime Minister? Could it be that you eat when sister Cheng feeds you, but you don't eat when my slave feeds you? The prime minister is eccentric, eccentric." This world, whether it is now or in ancient times, will always be a world of faces. Twisting has a special flavor.
"Don't be angry with the beauty, don't be angry, it's the truth." Cao Cao is worthy of being a veteran of flowers.
"Then what do you want, Prime Minister?" Hearing Cao Cao's words, the beautiful woman acted like a baby.
"The truth, I want to eat it after it is wrapped with fine nectar and jade dew!" Cao Cao said as he swept down the beautiful woman's face, and showed a wretched smile while looking at it.
"Prime Minister, how good are you!" How could this woman not know what the fine nectar and jade dew Cao Cao was talking about. An ordinary woman would have blushed a long time ago, but these women were born to train and serve men. Immediately, he leaned towards Cao Cao, raised his skirt, Cao Cao also smiled wretchedly and moved his head towards him. Hands are not idle. The angles and strengths of the various points are just right, which made the woman exclaim.
This ups and downs. The corners of Cao Cao's mouth were still stained with what he called fine nectar and jade dew, and he ate grapes into his mouth.
"Prime Minister, we also want it!" The other women on the side also came to please.
"Come all, come all, I want to taste it all today haha." Cao Cao's laughter resounded throughout the courtyard.
He, Cao Cao, is a winner in life. Who would have thought that he would have such a future as an eunuch? In Luoyang, although he, Cao Cao, was unwilling to admit it, he actually had no choice but to say it. He was really a small follower of Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu, the boss was Yuan Shao, Xu You could be regarded as the second child, and Cao Cao was the third child.
At the beginning, the three of them could be regarded as the three evils of Luoyang, such as robbing famous women, visiting brothels and so on, while the eldest Yuan Shao was a meat eater, the second child Xu You could also drink some soup, and the third child Cao Cao, that is get nothing. In the end, he had to take the blame. At that time, Cao Cao swore that he would definitely stand out. Definitely be the boss for a while.
Now it seems that he is almost a winner in life. The boss Yuan Shao was defeated by him, and the second brother Xu You also became his younger brother and took refuge in him. He even occupied the original boss's foundation. Yuan Shao's territory. Now they are occupied by him, and so are these women. These were all the wives and concubines of General Yuan Shao, but now they have become Cao Cao's spoils of war. Thinking that what he enjoys now is the eldest woman, this Cao Cao has become stronger. This property has risen again.
The two disobedient sons of Yuan Shao, the boss of Hebei, are now fighting fiercely. He, Cao Cao, can also enjoy it comfortably, just waiting for the two rebellious sons to fight. You can directly accept the hegemony of Hebei.
While Cao Cao was having fun, a female servant ran in. Old Cao would not like to be watched by people playing this kind of game. Those guards were arranged outside, and only female servants could enter. Looking at the scene in front of him His face turned red with embarrassment, this new master is really good at playing, even better than the previous master.
"Return, report back to the prime minister, Guo Guojia, the military commander, asks to see you." The little maid was an untrained girl, she could only blushed and closed her eyes, stammering and shouting.
"Bong Xiao?" Cao Cao crawled out from Fenglu Fei's buttocks. Although he, Cao Cao, was happy to enjoy it, he knew the seriousness of the matter. That's why he, Cao Cao, stood out from so many princes.
"Prime Minister, why don't you stay with us for a while?" The beautiful women over there were not satisfied. They were having a good time here, but they were just to make fun of men. Their fate is usually not very good. Most of them are given to each other as gifts, and the only way for them to succeed is to be able to leave behind the seeds of their master, and to be able to take root and germinate in their own stomachs.
Seeing that Lao Cao was about to be left behind as a seed, but a maidservant came out, naturally these women were dissatisfied.
"Beauties, don't worry, wait for the truth to deal with things first, and then pamper the beauties!" The tip of Lao Cao's tongue licked another sip of fine nectar and jade dew, which made this beautiful woman shiver uncontrollably .
Lao Cao doesn't like to say it for the third time. The third time for so long means that he is going to die. Cao Cao has lived in this Anle Mansion for several months. The beautiful servants inside all know Lao Cao's temper. One of their sisters was dragged out by Cao Cao to feed the dogs no matter how good her kung fu was and how beautiful she was because she made Lao Cao talk three times.
So these beauties can only get up Xinxin and get out of the way.
Lao Cao rearranged his clothes and went out.
Cao Cao came to the conference hall, Guo Jia had been waiting for Cao Cao here.
"Master, this time..." Guo Jia was about to report something to Cao Cao, but was interrupted by Cao Cao instead.
I saw Cao Cao rushed up to meet him and supported Guo Jia, "Feng Xiao, why did you come out in such a cold weather? Let your book boy tell me. Let me go to find you." Cao Cao complained to Guo Jia. .
"Cough cough, cough cough! My lord, Jia this time. Cough cough!" Guo Jia couldn't help coughing again, Guo Jia's illness is not a day or two. It was okay in Xudu, but when he arrived in Hebei, the temperature dropped, and Guo Jia's body couldn't hold on anymore. During this period of time, he was spent coughing. Cao Cao wanted to send Guo Jia back. Xu Du recovered from his illness, but was rejected by Guo Jia.
"You!" Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia with a bit of distress, "Come, sit down and talk! Someone help me get that mink coat!"
"Yes!" Cao Cao's subordinates immediately went to Cao Cao's room to fetch the sable fur. This sable fur was a gift from the gentry in Jizhou.
The guards brought Diaoqiu, and Cao Cao put it on Guo Jia's body with his own hands, "My lord is so careless!" Guo Jia was very grateful.
"My lord, the food and grass from Xudu has been sent to Yuzhou!" Guo Jia put on the sable fur. I don't know if it is really useful or psychological. The words have been much more succinct.
"Send it over? One hundred thousand grain and grass! Haha, to be honest, Fengxiao, I really can't bear to give it to Liu Bei and Liu Daer." Cao Cao couldn't help sighing. For Lu Bu, Cao Cao is at most an enemy, but for Lu Bu Liu Bei, Cao Cao just hates it. This Liu Bei is completely playing with his Cao Cao's feelings. I think Cao Cao treated this Liu Bei and Liu Xuande at the beginning. He wanted soldiers and horses for soldiers and horses, food and grass for food and grass, and gave him the title of Uncle of the Great Han Dynasty so that he had the position of General Zuo. Even Guo Jia wanted to kill Liu Bei, but was stopped by Cao Cao, but Liu Bei repaid Cao Cao. But it was a slap in the face. Not only did he not join Cao Cao's command, but he also killed Cao Cao's generals and robbed Cao Cao's land. "But as long as this Liu Da'er can help me survive for a year, then my hundred thousand grain and grass will be worth it!"
Cao Cao didn't have good intentions in giving Liu Bei food and grass, but he just wanted a chaotic Central Plains. A unified Central Plains is not in his interest.
"This Liu Bei Liu Xuan is not inferior to the lord of the Debi." Guo Jia also sighed, if this Liu Bei did not have the status of a nobleman. If there are some deficiencies in nature, maybe this Liu Bei is Cao Cao's biggest enemy. Although Liu Bei doesn't have many soldiers and horses, he has won the hearts of the people. Now the hundreds of thousands of people in Yuzhou will live and die with Yuzhou. Yangzhou Liu Mang suffered a lot.
"Huh!" Cao Cao snorted coldly, "It's just a small person! It's best for both of them to fight and lose!" Neither Liu Wei of Yangzhou nor Liu Bei of Yuzhou and Cao Cao would have a good face.
"My lord, Jia has something to report. My lord, this is a copy from Xuzhou!" Guo Jia took out a copy from his hand and taught it to Cao Cao.
'Xuzhou? "Cao Cao took it in doubt, opened the file, and immediately exclaimed after seeing it, "Xuzhou emergency? "It turns out that on top of this case is the emergency letter sent to Xudu by the governor of Xuzhou, which said that the Jianghuai generation in Xuzhou unexpectedly appeared enemy troops, and the banner under the banner was actually the Hebei Yuanzi banner.
"How is that possible!" It is written on the case that there are still a lot of soldiers and horses, tens of thousands of people, so mighty and mighty, that the governor of Xuzhou dare not go out of the city, and let all the troops close the city gate defend the city.
"Who is this Hebei Yuan?" Cao Cao didn't understand. Hebei Yuan can now represent the three brothers of the Yuan family. The eldest is Yuan Tan, the second is Yuan Xi, and the third is Yuan Shang. long time. I don't know whether it is dead or alive.
The third son, Yuan Shang, was the first to be eliminated by Cao Cao, because this Yuan Shang's territory is in Youzhou and Jizhou, both of which are in Hebei. How could he have soldiers and horses to cross the Yellow River to get Xuzhou? He must go through Qingzhou. Will his elder brother let him pass? Both of them are dead now, and they can't wait to divide their strength into two.
The boss Yuan Tan has this possibility, Qingzhou and Xuzhou are very close, but Cao Cao still dismissed it, because some time ago he rewarded Yuan Tan as a general, so this general Yuan is still very face-saving, and even expelled the envoy. He came to Yecheng and wanted to discuss the alliance with himself, and even foolishly wanted to help him eliminate Yuan Shang. So Yuan Tan is impossible.
"Yuan Xi?" Cao Cao thought of Yuan Xi. Yuan Xi could be regarded as the person with the clearest eyes in the Yuan family. He even contacted his younger brother and elder brother to drive Cao Cao away. After leaving Hebei, it's a pity that his two brothers have long been confused by the great general, so why would they pay attention to Yuan Xi.
It's also impossible, Yuan Xi is in Bingzhou, and his troops have to pass through his own eyes, but who has seen Yuan Xi's troops recently.
"My lord, our banner is General Yuan!" Guo Jia explained to Cao Cao with a wry smile.
"General Yuan? Yuan Shao?" If someone stood in front of Cao Cao and said that Yuan Shao could still take charge of the overall situation, then Cao Cao would definitely slap him to death, his former boss. Now I don't know whether I am alive or dead, and I am still in charge of the overall situation. There are still tens of thousands of soldiers and horses arriving in Xuzhou, isn't this just a joke.
Yuan Shao is still alive. This is his third son's conscience.
"This is not Hebei's army!" Cao Cao immediately realized that these tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were definitely not Hebei's troops. On the border of Qingzhou, Cao Cao arranged a lot of soldiers and horses.
But now the place where this large-scale army appeared was Jiangyin Huainan generation, and there were only two people who were close there and able to send troops. One is Jiangdong Sun Ce, and the second is Liu Mang from Yangzhou. Jiangdong Sun Ce sent troops, which is also a navy. If he attacks Xuzhou, it will not be worth the candle. Other people's dowry.
"Yangzhou Liu Mang!" Cao Cao figured it out, this was not Yuan Shao's Hebei army at all, but Yangzhou Liu Mang's army.
"Where did Liu Mang get his soldiers?" Cao Cao didn't understand again, didn't he, Liu Mang, go to attack Yuzhou? With an army of one hundred thousand, where are these soldiers and horses
"My lord, this Yangzhou army has never been defeated since Lu Bu left Xuzhou. This army is fighting more and more!" Guo Jia said to Cao Cao. Liu Mang has never been defeated in battle until now. , although every time it was extremely thrilling, but in the end the danger was saved, and there were more and more soldiers and horses in Yangzhou, especially Sun Ce's calculations, which made Yangzhou more than a million people.
Yangzhou naturally has soldiers.
"I have Xuzhou soldiers and horses!" Cao Cao also had a lot of garrison troops in Xuzhou, and Liu Mang's main force is now in Yuzhou. In Xuzhou, we can only produce second-tier troops, and everyone is a second-tier army. It depends on who has more people.
Cao Cao's garrison had walls and sufficient food and grass. It shouldn't be knocked down so quickly, and half of the territory of Jianghuai was lost all at once.
"My lord! You forgot, there is one person under Liu Mang's command! This one person is enough for an army of 100,000. The Jianghuai generation of Guangling saw this person and they didn't want to surrender!" Guo Jia said to Cao Cao.
"Guangling!" As soon as Guangling was mentioned, Cao Cao naturally knew who it was.
The Chen family has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in Guangling. Chen Deng's Chen family is deeply rooted in Guangling. Even though Chen Deng has been away for so long, the Chen family's property was cut off by Cao Cao.
But Chen Deng only needs people to show up.
As soon as Chen Deng appeared in Guangling, Guangling, which was already in panic, suddenly settled down. Most of the defenders in Xuzhou were mainly enemies. Seeing their young master came back, naturally they would not have the heart to resist. Guangling There was even a general in the city who tied Cao Cao's defenders and opened the city gate directly to offer the city.
The defenders of Guangling didn't even change their clothes, and even helped the Yangzhou army go to other places in Xuzhou to defraud the city. At this time, half of Xuzhou fell directly into the hands of Liu Mang. Liu Mang went to Xuzhou with a 20,000 army. It directly became 40,000. There are also 5,000 Chen Deng's elite Guangling army inside.
"He, Liu Mang, is really looking for death! Isn't he afraid that Liu Daer and I will unite and send troops to attack him?" Cao Cao said angrily.
"My lord, Yangzhou is also afraid that my lord will return to the army, so he only took down my Jianghuai generation in Xuzhou, not all of them! And my lord, his banner is General Yuan. Unless my lord doesn't want Hebei, I want Completely tear yourself apart with Liu Mang and Liu Hanyang, otherwise we have nothing to do with him." Guo Jia explained with a wry smile.
If you do the first grade of junior high school, others can do the fifteenth grade. You gave Liu Bei and Liu Xuande food and grass over there, but Liu Bei got the food and grass. Xu Du sent it to you, and you plotted secretly, and he Yangzhou didn't show weakness. If you send food and grass, they will take your Jianghuai, anyway, it's the work of General Yuan Gan. It has nothing to do with others, and it is a firm foothold above righteousness.
"Liu Mang, Liu Hanyang!" Cao Cao gritted his teeth, he has always been the one who schemes. I didn't expect to be slapped in the face this time, the face was slapped. Cao Cao couldn't think of anything to deal with Yangzhou, the army attacked? Impossible, he has not yet settled in Hebei. Once he evacuates, the Yuan family brothers may attack his Jizhou. Even if the army was transferred to fight Yangzhou, wouldn't this make Liu Bei and Liu Da'er happy.
As for supporting food and grass? Cao Cao has gained a lot of wisdom by eating a ditch. He has suffered a loss in Liu Bei's hands, and he knows that Liu Bei, a white-eyed wolf, can't get enough. If there is more food and grass given. Don't let another big enemy come out, so that Liu Bei can develop again.
Recover lost land? Of course, Xuzhou's soldiers and horses can't do it. It would be good not to be attacked by these tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, so this bitter fruit can only be swallowed by oneself. Who made him Cao Cao be unkind in the front
"My lord, there is no need to worry. This Liu Mang and Liu Hanyang also know that they are afraid of offending us to death, so they only took down the Jianghuai generation. Give it to him and give it to him. The current Xuzhou is no longer the original Xuzhou. Wait for my army to take it down." Hebei. Cough cough, go back to the army and bring Yangzhou together." Guo Jia said comforting Cao Cao.
"Hey, that's the only way to go!" Cao Cao could only do so. He wants to unify Hebei first. Lao Cao is still thinking about his sister-in-law Liu Shi, the boss's favorite wife. Cao Cao is a little dissatisfied that he did not get Liu Shi when he took Yecheng this time, but he is waiting to calm down Hebei. Afraid of not getting it, Cao Cao's heart is hot when he thinks about it, he couldn't help letting go of his anger towards Liu Mang in Yangzhou, but seeing Guo Jia's pale face, he hurriedly asked with concern, "Feng Xiao, you must be well." Rehabilitation, I'm still waiting for Feng Xiao to fight for me in the Central Plains."
"Ahem. Of course, I want to meet Lu Zhanshen again for a while."
…
"Haha. Haha, let out a breath of anger. Let out a breath of anger!" Youzhou Beiping, this is the territory of Yuan Shao's third son, Yuan Shang. The former White Horse General died here, and now it has become Yuan Shang's rule. , Yuan Shang laughed when he saw the letter in his hand.
These days, he has been suppressed and beaten by Cao Cao's army. Yuan Shang feels aggrieved, but now he is very happy after seeing this information.
"Father, father, do you know? Your precious eldest son, my elder brother has already joined Cao Cao and Cao Mengde. He has put aside his father's hatred for the position of the general, and has already recognized the thief as his father!" Yuan Shang He said to a middle-aged man lying on the bed with his eyes wide open.
If Cao Cao saw the man on the bed, he would be dumbfounded, because the man on the bed was Yuan Shaoyuan, who Cao Cao wanted to die day and night, after all, but the middle-aged divorced man on the bed Death is not far away.
The high-spirited Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu back then, the overlord of Hebei had long since disappeared, and now Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu could not move except for his eyes and fingers.
Half of the reason for all this is brought by Cao Cao, the former younger brother. It was Cao Cao who won the battle of Guandu, and Yuan Shao couldn't hold back his anger and vomited blood. The other half of the reason is the current filial son Yuan Shang is dead, it's just that the old man who despises him is not dead. When Yuan Shao was alive, he began to seize power, and Yuan Shang tampered with Yuan Shao's potion.
It turned Yuan Shao into the half-dead state he is now. If Yuan Shang didn't want to keep Yuan Shao's life to occupy Dayi to deal with his elder brother and appease Yuan Shao's original generals, Yuan Shao might have died long ago.
"Cao Cao!" Although Yuan Shao couldn't speak, he could hear it. As soon as the name was mentioned, Yuan Shao immediately reacted. His eyes widened. It was Cao Cao, and it was Cao Cao who caused him to be in this state. .
Yuan Shao naturally reacted when he heard the name of his enemy. Yuan Shao was even more excited when he heard that his eldest son had defected to Cao Cao.
Father, you know, although your eldest son is not filial, but your youngest son I am very filial, father, you know, my army has already occupied half of Xuzhou, with the Jianghuai generation. "Yuan Shang smiled triumphantly in front of his puppet father.
"Look at it, look at it!" Yuan Shang also handed the copy to Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao's eyes could still see it. Thousands of soldiers and horses took down Jianghuai under the banner of General Yuan Shao. It can be said that the banner of the Yuan family has been planted above the cities of the rivers and lakes.
"Yangzhou?" Yuan Shao was also thinking in his heart how could Yuan Shao see Yangzhou in his eyes. In Yuan Shao's view, this Yangzhou was just a small character, the remnants of Lu Bu, Lu Fengxian, who fled in embarrassment. That's all.
Lu Bu couldn't even beat Cao Cao, as long as he Yuan Shao defeated Cao Cao, it would not be easy to win Lu Bu.
But who would have thought that he would lose to Cao Cao in the battle of Guandu.
Looking at the contents of this letter, Yuan Shao found that he had indeed captured half of Cao Cao's Xuzhou, and Yuan Shao's resentment was also eliminated. He would naturally be happy to see his enemy's territory being taken down.
"Borrowing soldiers?" Yuan Shao opened the letter again. Those soldiers and horses were not his soldiers from Hebei at all, but soldiers from Yangzhou. They said they were borrowing, but they just borrowed the banner of Hebei, even though the general was from Hebei. The messenger, but the lieutenant is someone else.
"With half of Xuzhou, I can attack Xudu, the lair of Cao Cao's old thief!" Yuan Shang thought really well.
But Yuan Shao, who was lying on the bed next to him, felt a little sad. His son was sold and he was counted for money. The soldiers and horses belonged to others. How do you control them? Do you really think that your Yuan family can command the world? The prestige of the fourth generation and the third prince has been used up. This letter also mentioned that Yangzhou had negotiated with Yuan Shang on the condition that he would help Yuan Shang attack Cao Cao. Give 200,000 grain and grass to Yangzhou.
If the Yangzhou army attacked Yanzhou or other places, then the 200,000 grain and grass is just a joke. Even if Yuan Shang is willing to give it to you, you can take it back, but now it is different. Yuan Shao has seen the map of Xuzhou. But relying on the sea, people can come to collect money by sea.
Yuan Shao's thinking was right, now Yuan Shao is a bystander, so he is much more awake, and he can see many things clearly.
When Liu Mang let his soldiers and horses take down the Jianghuai generation, he asked Gan Ning to take the 5,000 sailors under his command to the mouth of the Yangtze River, and the Guangling generation to enter the coast and head towards Liaodong.
Unimpeded sea route is something that Liu Mang has long wanted to do. It has been delayed until now because of the lack of warships and personnel. Now Gan Ning's navy has also formed, with 10,000 main forces and 8,000 reserves Troops, Gan Ning took away 5,000 elite soldiers. Because he was afraid that the Jiangdong Army would intercept them, Gan Ning took 5,000 elite soldiers and horses and left. A group of water troops was sent to increase the number of soldiers and horses in Wancheng to 13,000, but the combat effectiveness was not as strong as before Gan Ning left, but the river defenses guarding Yangzhou were still enough.
Gan Ning left, and Liu Mang gave Gan Ning's deputy to take over Gan Ning's position.
And Gan Ning led the navy, no! Now it should be said that it is the navy, leading the Yangzhou Navy with large transport ships, holding the coastal map that Liu Mang obtained from modern times, and groping along the shore towards Liaodong.
These ships are the ships that Liu Mang wants to open up the Liaodong trade route. Liu Mang wants to get the war horses of Liaodong, but Liaodong needs the salt and iron of the Central Plains. This is a mutual benefit for both parties. (to be continued)
