The man in front of me, knowing that the Battle of Guandu is the key at this moment, actually plans to mobilize a large number of troops and go south to attack Liu Bei who has occupied Runan? What kind of messy thoughts are in his mind?
There is nothing surprising about having such an idea. The inheritance that Xun Yu received was that of ‘Wang Zuo’, not ‘Master Planner’. He may be good at strategy, but it is definitely not his specialty.
If he uses tricks, he mainly prefers the "royal way", so he is most taboo about such crooked ways.
"It's nothing wrong. I heard that it has become difficult for the Zhen family to adjust their food supply. Yuan Shao's second son, Yuan Xi, tried hard to pursue Zhen Mi, the third daughter of the Zhen family, but to no avail. Instead, she went north to Youzhou to marry Gongsun Sheng.
Due to this commotion, Yuan Shao will not be able to mobilize enough food for at least three to five months. With this time, it only takes us one or two days to go south, but we can still make it in time!" Cao Cao laughed.
Xun Yu was naturally unwilling to take risks, so he continued to dissuade him. As a result, Cao Cao became angry and drove him directly back to Xuchang to help him with the logistics. Now it seems that it is too early to leave those matters to his eldest son Cao Ang to learn how to handle them.
a little.
Seeing that his advice was ineffective, Xun Yu had no choice but to return to Xuchang.
Cao Cao, on the other hand, took the main troops and sent to Yuzhou to continue the attack on Liu Bei.
Of course, it was not an attack by the whole army. The civilian officials only took Xi Zhicai with them, leaving Cheng Yu behind; the military attachés only took Xiahou Dun and Shi Huan, and of course the Zhong brothers (Zhong Jin, Zhong Jin and Zhong Zhong) who had been taken care of by Xiahou Dun.
Gentleman, the person who was killed by Zhao Yun at Changbanpo).
As for Cao Hong and Xia Houyuan (Cao Ren stayed in Xuchang), they stayed at Guandu to guard Yuan's army.
On the way, Cao Cao listened to Xi Zhicai's suggestion and asked Zang Ba, who had just surrendered to him, to go to Xiapi to take Zhang Liao's place. Zhang Liao, with nearly half of his troops, went south to occupy the land of Huainan, and then guarded Shouchun.
Zang Ba had now recruited 3,000 Taishan soldiers through various means, all of whom were mighty and brave men. After hearing the order, he hesitated for a while and decisively led his troops south to Guangling to change defenses.
Zhang Liao also took Song Xian, Hao Meng and other old Lu Bu generals to the south, eventually occupying the land of Huainan and stationed in Shouchun City, cutting off Liu Bei's escape to Huainan.
Liu Bei originally thought that Cao Cao was busy dealing with Yuan Shao and Gongsun Sheng, and it would take at least three or two years before he would take care of him. If he had this time, he believed that a good army could be trained.
However, seeing Cao Cao suddenly attack, he panicked.
Hastily responding to the battle, the tiger and leopard cavalry mobilized by Cao Cao showed their talents. Xu Zhu and Xiahou Dun restrained Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, making the war end faster.
Liu Bei was defeated and dejected. He took a thousand remnants of his troops and fled to Jingzhou via Xinye to seek refuge.
Cao Cao finally took back the land of Yuzhou, left Xiahou Dun and Cao Chun here, and returned to Guandu with a large army.
Marching back and forth naturally lowered the morale of the soldiers a lot. But after all, they won a battle, and Cao Cao did not hesitate to spend some money to reward the soldiers, so the morale of the soldiers was still very high.
After Liu Bei fled to Jingzhou, he was first sent to Fancheng for resettlement. Less than ten days later, when news of Liu Pan's assassination came, Liu Biao felt sorry for him and arranged for Liu Bei to be stationed in Jiangxia.
On the way, Liu Bei met Liu Mi, a member of the Changsha County clan. After talking, Liu Bei learned that Liu Bei had been wandering around for a long time and had no children, so he recommended his nephew, Kou Feng, the son of the Kou family of Luohou, as his adoptive father.
Liu Bei liked the word "feng" very much, and he also needed help from the local aristocratic family, so he naturally recognized Kou Feng as his adopted son. From then on, Kou Feng was renamed Liu Feng. But in normal times, Liu Feng was strict with himself.
There is no arrogance of the second generation official at all, but he restrains himself with the treatment of Liu Bei's subordinates.
Seeing Liu Feng like this, Liu Bei was also full of joy. He felt that if he had no descendants, it might be a good choice to pass the throne to him.
Over in Jiangdong, a big event also happened at this time.
To put it simply, Sun Ce offended many aristocratic families when he attacked Jiangdong.
Xu Gong, the former captain of Wu Commandery, disliked Sun Ce and wrote to Cao Cao to discuss how to cooperate internally and externally, overthrow Sun Ce and welcome Cao Cao to rule Jiangdong.
However, the letter was intercepted by Sun Ce on the way, and Xu Gong soon lost his head because of it.
After this time, his diners had no place to reimburse their food and accommodation, so he was so angry that he shot Sun Ce with a poisonous arrow while Sun Ce was out hunting.
Sun Ce eventually died of the poison and died on the hospital bed. The only people who were with him at that time were Sun Quan, Wu Guotai and Da Qiao.
When he came out, Wu Guotai announced that Sun Quan would succeed Sun Ce, saying that it was Sun Ce who succeeded him before his death. If there is any truth to it, Sun Ce said before his death, "If you don't decide on internal affairs, ask Zhang Zhao, and on foreign affairs."
"Juewen Zhou Yu" can be regarded as winning over these two key ministers.
I don’t know what the truth is, but Sun Ce’s son Sun Shao didn’t get anything. Da Qiao didn’t say anything either. He just took Sun Shao at home silently as his aunt (Da Qiao was Sun Ce’s concubine).
As a result, Sun Quan successfully replaced Sun Ce. Under his leadership, no one investigated the process of power change to see if there was any insider information.
At this time full of smoke and secret warfare, Nanyang County once again ushered in a grand event.
Xie Xin personally announced that the most outstanding batch of students from Huaxia Academy in recent years have graduated!
It can be said that a talent feast is being held in Huaxia Academy today. The most exciting thing for all the princes in the world is that the admission fee is free! There are only so many talents. Whoever has the ability, accept more, and those who have no ability, accept less.
A few, anyway, everyone selects talents fairly!
Under such circumstances, even Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Sheng, who were currently in the flames of war, stopped the war at hand and sent people to Zunyi County to select talents.
"Hey, why are we like commodities bought and sold by workers?" Guo Jia, as a graduate of this year, said playfully to Wei Yan beside him.
Guan Yu passed three passes and killed six generals, and finally killed his master Cai Yang. Without his master, Wei Yan naturally had no reason to stay in Xuchang and went directly back to Huaxia Academy, waiting to graduate with Guo Jia.
"Not really, it's just a two-way choice." Wei Yan said unmoved.
"You! After studying under the old sword king for a while, your personality seems to have changed." Guo Jia teased angrily.
"The way to be a general is to keep everything calm!" Wei Yan just said what Cai Yang said.
"It's boring! Xie Xia, let's go have a drink?" Guo Jia immediately fell in love with Xie Xia.
"Today is a rare event. If Brother Guo gets drunk and no one chooses you, what are your plans?" Xie Xia teased in turn.
"Hey, at worst, you can just go find it yourself!" Guo Jia said nonchalantly.
"That's not bad, but if it's so laborious, why not take advantage of the princes from all over the world to gather in Zunyi today and observe it directly?" Xie Hua came over and said with a smile.
"Really, both of them are so nervous..." Guo Jia shook his head and went to get a bottle of wine to relax.
On this day, the princes indeed put down their work and came to Huaxia Academy.
On this day, each department in the academy set up an arena for job-seeking students to perform professional performances, allowing the major princes to see the capabilities of this group of students.
On this day, Zhao Yun, Xie Xia, Dian Wei and Wei Yan took away the souls of all the princes. The four of them are rare super generals, and they are naturally very attractive to the princes.
Both Cao Cao and Yuan Shao extended an olive branch, but before the three of them expressed their opinions, they had a small battle of Guandu nearby because they didn't like each other. As a result, Cao Cao was beaten to a swollen eye, and Yuan Shao was discounted.
Got an arm.
Those who thought they could not get the three of them also turned their attention to Dian Jie, Liang Xi, Pan Lin and other first-class generals, and the competition for talents was fierce.
On this day, Cao Pi, Xie Hua, and Gongsun Lei (son of Gongsun Sheng) also impressed the princes. The political, economic, and agricultural capabilities of the three of them were very high. It was a pity that the three of them were famous and had their own owners.
The one who was most angry about this was probably Yuan Shao.
After Cao Pi stepped down, Cao Cao praised him with a smile and looked at Yuan Shao with eyes filled with disdain. Yuan Shao simply stopped wasting time here and returned to Guandu with his troops.
After Yuan Shao left, Cao Cao naturally had to leave. But he didn't want to miss out on other talents, so he kept Cao Hong and asked him to look for more talents for Cao's army under the leadership of Cao Pi.
"Ouch!" Halfway through, Cao Cao was tripped by someone.
"I x! Fengxiao, what are you doing lying here?" called Dian Wei, who had just decided to join Cao's army.
"Do you know each other?" Cao Cao stood up. Instead of blaming someone, he stepped forward and asked.
"Of course I know him, he is Master's inner disciple! Moreover, he is a first-class military advisor!" Dian Wei betrayed Guo Jia in a few seconds.
When Cao Cao heard this, he immediately stepped forward to talk.
Before they chatted, many people actually saw the drunk man, but they all ignored him.
In the end, Cao Cao won Guo Jia's loyalty with his charisma.
"Haha, Fengxiao! From now on, you and I will become colleagues!" Dian Wei smiled and patted him on the shoulder.
"You still have the nerve to say... No, I can't give you an advantage! A jar of good wine every month must be supplied for at least three years, otherwise you will have something to look at!" Guo Jia said angrily.
"Three years?! Okay! Don't say three years, I will still support you in five years!" Dian Wei said boldly.
"Damn it! That's why I hate the rich second generation the most!" Guo Jia turned his head aside helplessly.
Of course he knows that the Dianwei family has made a lot of money in the past few years. The Dianwei in front of him is definitely a standard rich second generation, except that he is not a playboy.
After three days, the talent feast came to an end.
Four historical generals, Man Chong, Wu Zhi, Dian Wei and Guo Jia, finally joined Cao Cao's command; in addition, more than thirty outstanding talents in various fields also joined.
Xie Xia, Wei Yan, Pan Lin and Zhao Yun took refuge in Gongsun Sheng, who was so happy that Gongsun Sheng had nowhere to go. In addition, more than 200 graduates in various fields were hired to fill the management systems of Youzhou and Qingzhou.
Xie Hua, Dian Jie, and Xia Houlan joined Liu Bian. Liu Bian also welcomed Xie Xin's sending his own son to work here and reused him. In addition, fifty graduates in various fields were selected.
, to enrich the management system of the lower prefectures and counties, a very small number of them were selected into the research institute after soliciting their opinions.
This is indeed a feast of talents. Although there may be relatively few famous civil and military talents in history, their appearance rate is the highest in recent years.
What is ironic is that these talents have all joined the three forces that Xie Xin is optimistic about. The rest of the forces can only stare and pick a few suitable ones to recruit.
Liu Bei was still so miserable. When he came here, the feast was over and he didn't catch anyone. However, after all, there were many academies in Zunyi County. After some exploration, he still found a few civil servants who were appointed to help the counselors.
The system and civil service system have been improved.
"When can I graduate?" Xu Shu asked dissatisfiedly in Huaxia Academy.
"When will you act like a marshal? I will let you graduate again! You still have too much to learn!" Xie Xin replied affirmatively.
