Chapter 180: Liu Yan: I've memorized this pot (the answer is open!)
"Ah! This is outrageous. Everyone thinks that I, Cao Cao, is dead, and they want to step on me!" Cao Cao roared as he looked at the latest news.
Liu Yan wrote to him again and threatened him to return Hangu Pass to him, otherwise he would dispatch the soldiers stationed in Chang'an to capture Hetao.
"Lord, calm down, Hetao is a plain, and the cavalry is the domain of the cavalry. If Liu Yan dares to come, he will never come back." Cheng Yu persuaded Cao Cao to calm down.
Xun You and Xun Yu were both dismissed from their posts. Now the only counselors Cao Cao can use are Cheng Yu, Xi Zhicai and Sima Lang.
"By the way, where are Liu Bei's reinforcements now?" Cao Cao asked Cheng Yu. His troops were now too scattered and he urgently needed a reinforcement to help him.
Since he betrothed the Xiahou family to Zhang Fei, his alliance with Liu Bei has become closer.
"Back to my lord, Liu Bei has ordered Generals Zhang and Zhao to come for support. I believe they will arrive at our place soon." Cheng Yu reported truthfully.
"That's great. With the help of Generals Zhang and Zhao, I believe this rebellion will subside soon!" When he first implemented this plan, Cao Cao knew that this day would come, but he did not expect that something would happen in the middle.
After the change, the people no longer wanted to fight, and the princes could not recruit troops, so those princes wanted to imitate him, thus accelerating this incident.
Now not only the aristocratic families in Yanzhou want to kill him, but the aristocratic families in other states also want to kill him, and they support the aristocratic families in Yanzhou openly and covertly.
Otherwise, Yanzhou's aristocratic family would not be able to make any waves under his suppression.
"Three Kingdoms please answer, the fifth round begins!"
Participants this time: Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan, Liu Bei, Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Liu Biao, Liu Yan, Liu Yu, Shi Xie, Gongsun Du, Sun Jian.
This answer will open one day later, so candidates are asked to prepare in advance.
At this moment, the mechanical sound floated down from the sky again after two years and reached everyone's ears.
Eleven names rang in the sky.
"Go and call Zi Xiu and the others!" After Cao Cao heard the voice from the sky, he immediately sent someone to call Cao Ang and the others. I don't know how long this answer will last.
Well, he wants to arrange all these things for himself. Yanzhou is full of rebels, and he may not know what troubles will happen.
The purpose of calling Cao Ang here now is to train him.
See if your son has the ability to manage Yanzhou well in his absence and whether he is suitable to be a qualified person in charge.
"Yes!" A guard retreated and called Cao Ang and others.
Not long after, Cao Ang, Cheng Yu, Xi Zhicai, Dian Wei, Xu Chu and others came to pay homage to Cao Cao.
"The Immortal's quiz has started again, and I'm going to take part in the quiz tomorrow."
"Now that Yanzhou is full of rebels, you will rely on Zixiu's opinions during my absence." Cao Cao told Cheng Yu, Xi Zhicai and others.
"Yes! I will obey my lord's order." Cheng Yu and Xi Zhicai agreed. They all knew that Cao Cao was grooming his heir.
"Zhong Kang, Dian Wei, you two must protect Cao Ang's safety." Cao Cao was still a little worried and asked Xu Chu and Dian Wei to protect Cao Ang's safety.
"Please rest assured, my lord, if the young master loses even a hair, please chop off my head when he comes back." Xu Chu assured Cao Cao.
"Me too!" Dian Wei immediately echoed.
"As for you, Zixiu, you should think more carefully when encountering problems, and listen more to the opinions of Zhongde and Zhicai. Their strategies far exceed yours. Be decisive when it is time to be decisive, and think more about what is necessary." Cao Cao said. He told his son Cao Ang.
"Don't worry, father."
"You all go down, I have something to say to Cao Ang." After Cao Cao arranged everything, he waved his hand for everyone to retreat.
Everyone exited the room one after another, leaving space for Cao Cao and his son.
"Father." Cao Ang called out to Cao Cao respectfully.
"Well, this time I go to the Immortal to answer questions, you must be careful about those aristocratic families, even when eating! In addition, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Cheng Yu, Cao Ren, Brother Xiahou and your father-in-law are all trustworthy people , if anything happens, go directly to them." Cao Cao continued to tell Cao Ang, and he threw away the roots of the aristocratic families. These aristocratic families wanted to eat his flesh and peel off his skin, but he knew what the faces of the aristocratic families were. No matter what, they can do anything.
This time I went to answer the questions, so it was difficult to guarantee that they would not take the opportunity to focus on their son.
If Cao Ang is implicated in this incident, he will feel guilty for the rest of his life.
"I understand, father." Cao Ang felt warm in his heart. He knew that his father was training him to be a qualified lord.
"Well, that's all I have to say, go down." After Cao Cao made arrangements for Cao Ang, he waved his hand for Cao Ang to go down.
Cao Cao himself was lying on the bed, rubbing his temples and thinking about the future.
Now Liu Bei has obtained the Xuzhou Cauldron, and there are three copies of the Nine Cauldrons passed down by the immortals. Hebei Shuangxiong has passed five levels and killed six generals and seven in and seven out, but so far he has not been able to challenge successfully.
Among the three dungeons, in Cao Cao's opinion, the easiest dungeon is to pass five levels and kill six generals, followed by seven in and seven out.
As for the Hebei duo, one person challenges two enhanced versions of Yan Liang and Wen Chou. Even Lu Bu is not their opponent, let alone the others. Seven in and seven out can be overcome with a little bit of luck, but this is really make life difficult for.
Cao Cao planned to wait for the rebellion to be resolved, then organize his military generals to challenge the copy of Five Passes and Kill Six Generals again, and seize the Jiuding. Now in the middle of a battle between two emperors, owning the Jiuding can also increase his power.
He had organized it once before, but Guan Yu in the dungeon was simply not a human being. He had a good fight with Lu Bu in the first level, but suddenly Guan Yu cut out a blue dragon and defeated Lu Bu directly.
The same is true for the rest of the people.
Fighting alone, they can fight Guan Yu for a long time. If Guan Yu can't kill the green dragon, they may not be unable to challenge successfully, but Guan Yu is not only strengthened, but also has immortal skills, which makes his six generals hate him. this.
But this time Cao Cao had an idea, a way to successfully challenge. As long as he can succeed, he will definitely get one of the Nine Cauldrons this time!
Liu Yan on the other side couldn't tell how excited he was when he heard that he had been selected to participate in the immortal's quiz.
He had no chance to participate in the previous four rounds of answering questions, and could only watch eagerly as the Kanto princes received their rewards and appeared in front of the world.
This time he was finally chosen by the immortal!
The only thing that made Liu Yan unhappy was that this guy Liu Yu was also selected. Liu Yan vowed to make this guy Liu Yu lose to him in front of the whole world.
Let’s see if he still has the nerve to compete with me for the throne in the future!
The same goes for Liu Yu on the other side, planning how to trample Liu Yan under his feet. Didn't he say that he is incompetent? It depends on what you say if you win this time.
Liu Biao and Shi Xie also signed an agreement that they would stop fighting during the answer period and continue when the answer was over.
Soon a day passed, and dozens of white lights shone down from all over the Han Dynasty.
Yuan Shao, Liu Yu, Gongsun Zan, Liu Bei, Liu Biao and others turned into a white light and disappeared in front of everyone, appearing in the long-lost answering space.
"Hahaha, long time no see, Meng De. I heard that there are a lot of riots in Yanzhou. What do you think? Do you need me to send troops to help you solve it?" Yuan Shao immediately greeted Cao Cao enthusiastically, and it sounded like he wanted to help Cao Cao.
, actually taking pleasure in one's misfortune.
"Haha, you are just a rebel, how dare you bother Benchu to send troops. Xuande has already sent two generals, Zhang and Zhao, to support you. I believe that with Xuande's help, the rebels will be put down soon." How could Cao Cao not do this?
Knowing that the mastermind behind this is Yuan Shao, especially Yuan Shao's in-laws, they are simply helping the aristocratic families in Yanzhou in an upright manner.
Without Yuan Shao's instructions, would the Zhen family dare to do this?
When Yuan Shao heard this, he rolled his eyes and decided to give Liu Bei something to do after the answer was over. He must not let Cao Cao put down the riot before he had finished dealing with Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu in Youzhou.
Otherwise, when Cao Cao puts down the rebellion and frees up his hands to join forces with Liu Bei, it is very likely that his way south will be blocked.
"Humph." Gongsun Zan on the other side heard that Liu Bei sent troops to assist Cao Cao, and he was even more dissatisfied with Liu Bei.
I'm having a fierce fight with Yuan Shao here, so you don't send troops to support me. Instead, you go to support Cao Cao.
"Hahaha, General Shengji has been so majestic recently. He has expanded the territory for our Han Dynasty." Gongsun Zan pretended not to care on the surface and greeted Gongsun Du on the side.
In Youzhou, almost everyone knew about Gongsun Du's eastern expedition to Goguryeo. In addition, Gongsundu captured many Goguryeo slaves during his eastern expedition to Goguryeo to serve as the population, and he also conquered a large amount of land.
If he hadn't been entangled by Yuan Shao now, he would have wanted to go north to find trouble with the Xianbei, Wuwan, and Xiongnu, enslave them, and increase the population of his territory.
"Hahaha, compared with General Bogui, this is nothing." Gongsun Du said modestly.
Compared to Gongsun Zan, a fierce man who beat Xianbei, Xiongnu, and Wuwan until they cried daddy all the time, his expedition to Goguryeo is not worth mentioning at all.
"By the way, I heard that General Bogui has been in trouble recently. Do you need help?" Gongsun Du glanced at Yuan Shao cautiously and found that Yuan Shao was talking to Liu Bei and Cao Cao, so he asked Gongsun Zan in a low voice if he needed help.
It's not that he has a deep friendship with Gongsun Zan, but if Gongsun Zan is defeated by Yuan Shao, control of the entire Youzhou will most likely fall into Yuan Shao's hands.
Yuan Shao was blocked by two powerful princes, Cao Cao and Liu Bei. If Yuan Shao could not advance south, he would most likely set his sights on Liaodong and head towards Liaodong.
"No, this is a matter between the two of us." Gongsun Zan waved his hand and refused Gongsun Du's assistance. In the Youzhou Plain, he really wasn't afraid of Yuan Shao.
Just be careful of that person named Ju Yi.
"Okay, if you need anything, just come to Liaodong to see me." Gongsun Du promised Gongsun Zan that if he has any difficulties, he can come to him for help.
At this moment, Gongsun Zan was deeply moved.
This is what brothers are!
At this moment, Yuan Shu's roar attracted everyone's attention.
"Liu Yan, you old man, you were the one who stole the jade seal on the way!" Yuan Shu scolded Liu Yan by name in front of him.
When he first found out that Yu Xi was with Liu Yan, he was so angry that he had no appetite for food for three days. Because of this Yu Xi, he was charged with hiding the Yu Xi secretly and having treason, and he lost Chen Jun because of it.
Now he finally caught the little thief who stole the jade seal.
"Yuan Shu, you are such a bastard. That jade seal clearly fell from the sky and landed in my courtyard, and I got it." Liu Yan immediately retorted. He knew in his heart that the jade seal appearing in his courtyard must have been caused by someone else.
According to his speculation, the person who gave him the jade seal was most likely Liu Biao.
One is that among the various princes, only Sun Jian, Liu Biao, and Cao Cao had the greatest conflict with Yuan Shu.
But Yuan Shu would die if he got the jade seal, so he gave the jade seal to Sun Jian. If Sun Jian was greedy for the jade seal, he would have accepted it long ago, why bother to snatch the jade seal and then go to all the trouble to give it to himself.
Although Cao Cao is also possible, with such a big mess happening in Yanzhou, Cao Cao would have no time to pay attention to him and send him a jade seal all the way.
The only one left is Liu Biao. Only Liu Biao is close to Yizhou and Yuzhou. It is extremely convenient to intercept the jade seal halfway or to deliver the jade seal to himself.
In addition to this reason, another reason is that he knew that Liu Biao was ambitious. Liu Biao must have intercepted the jade seal because he wanted to keep it and use it to become emperor in the future.
But now that he was defeated by the alliance between Shi Xie and Yuan Shu, he gave the jade seal to himself. Once he exposed the jade seal, Yuan Shu would definitely hate him. I have to say that Liu Biao's plan was successful.
He knew clearly that this was Liu Biao's conspiracy, but he still chose to fall into the trap and took out the jade seal, without any fear of offending Yuan Shu.
Although Liu Yan explained this, Yuan Shu wouldn't listen to him. He fell from the sky and landed in your courtyard, and then you got it?
"Haha, Liu Yan, can you ask for more face? He fell from the sky and landed in your courtyard. Why didn't he fall into my courtyard?" Yuan Shu bit Liu Yan like a mad dog. Yuan Shu
I firmly believe that Liu Yan must have robbed him of his jade seal along the way.
"This just proves that it is God's will for me, Liu Yan, to become emperor!" This is the reason why Liu Yan chose to fall into the trap. He needed a reason that was enough to support his claim to be emperor, but having a Han clan clan was not enough for him to claim the throne.
But as long as it is matched with the imperial seal, one can legitimately inherit the Han Dynasty's orthodoxy.
As Liu Yan spoke, he glanced at Liu Biao. Seeing that Liu Biao had no expression, Liu Yan became even more convinced that the jade seal was given to him by Liu Biao.
"Liu Biao is very good at pretending. I, Liu Yan, will return this situation to you sooner or later!" Liu Yan secretly thought. He chose to fall into the trap, but that didn't mean he would let Liu Biao go.
Liu Biao, who was on the other side, had no idea that he was already being taken care of by Liu Yan.
"Haha, God's will? I'm afraid someone has already had a rebellious heart and intercepted the jade seal." Liu Yu saw that Liu Yan wanted to confirm his position as the Han Dynasty's orthodoxy, so he immediately stood up and sneered at Liu.
Yan.
Seeing a few people quarreling, Yuan Shao raised the corners of his mouth and said, "Let's make a quarrel. The more lively the quarrel is, the better."
The more chaotic you guys are, the more benefits I, Yuan Shao, will get from it!
"Ding, the test is about to begin. This time the test will still be in live broadcast mode. Candidates please arrive at the designated location."
Just when Liu Yan, Liu Yu, and Yuan Shu were arguing, a mechanical sound came from the sky, interrupting everyone's quarrel.
When Liu Yan and Liu Yu heard that the live broadcast was about to start, they immediately stopped arguing. The live broadcast was being watched by the whole world, and they could not lose the emperor's face in front of the whole world.
"Huh!" Liu Yan shook his sleeves and snorted, walking towards his place.
Others also walked towards their positions.
But by coincidence, Liu Yan and Liu Yu were in the same position.
People outside were also happy to watch the live broadcast.
The second wave of battle between the two emperors is about to begin.
The one who loses will definitely lose face in front of the whole world.
"Ding, since there are a large number of new candidates joining, in order to allow them to adapt to the problem-solving process more quickly, two appetizer questions are now opened. The appetizer questions are all compulsory questions. There is no penalty for wrong answers. If you answer correctly, you can choose a military upgrade card.
All candidates please listen to the questions."
"From the Eastern Han Dynasty to the history of the Three Kingdoms, later generations evaluated four dangerous occupations. Which of the following options is not one of the four high-risk occupations?"
a. Lu Bu’s adoptive father b. Liu Bei’s “eldest brother” c. Governor of Soochow d. Emperor of the Han Dynasty e. Cao Cao’s grain officer
"Candidates please start answering!"
As soon as the sound in the sky fell, the question just appeared on the top of the big screen.
At the same time, at the top of the big screen, there are three cards that are constantly rotating, saying respectively the infantry upgrade card, the archer upgrade card, and the cavalry upgrade card.
The usefulness of troop upgrade cards also rang in their minds.
Both infantry and archer upgrade cards can improve the basic abilities of a thousand soldiers, including physical fitness and equipment.
