Chapter 380: Expedition Again
The time came to March of the eighth year of Jian'an......
"Call Daddy~~~ My baby is called Daddy~~~" In the Zhendong General's Mansion, a group of subordinates have been watching the master hum an unknown tune since the birth of the Hou Ye and the lady. Although Li Wei's singing voice is not a broken throat in the crossing, he can't help but cooperate with his movements, which makes the whole house, including Cai Yan and Mi Zhen, feel very funny.
"Husband, just let Ming'er and Qing'er go. Cai Yan couldn't help but interrupt Li Wei's Yaxing, and helped Mi Zhen, who was already pot-bellied, to walk in and said.
"Zhen'er, how did you get out?" Li Wei saw Mi Zhen walking into the side hall, and immediately greeted him, saying.
"Husband, if you stay in the room any longer, you're going to be stuffy~~~~" Mi Zhen touched her gradually swollen and round belly, but her face was naughty with a girl, and she said coquettishly.
"Good...... Good...... You can go out and walk if you want, but you have to be hearty. "Li Wei cares about the authenticity.
"Alas...... It's really a new generation for the old, and it seems that I, the old man, is about to be thrown aside by someone who has no conscience. Cai Yan saw that Li Wei didn't answer him immediately, and his vinegar burst out, and he said sourly.
"Who! who is a person with no conscience! Husband avenges my family Yan'er!!" If Li Wei couldn't hear the vinegar in Cai Yan's tone, he would be a big piece of wood.
"Hmph...... Perfunctory~~~~" Cai Yanjiao snorted, turned around and left, Li Wei hurriedly caught up and coaxed the Zhenggong Niangniang for a while. Although the blessing of Qi people is a good thing, it is also a good thing that takes a lot of effort into it.
Not to mention that Li Wei showed affection here, so that the single officials were resentful, and they came to Hebei first.
Sure enough, as Guo Jia expected, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang spent a two-month truce and honeymoon period after losing Cao Cao's big yellow sparrow, and the war broke out again.
Yuan Tan led a large army out of the plain and went straight to Yecheng to fight against Yuan Shang, but unfortunately his strength was insufficient, and he was defeated more than once, and Yuan Shang took the plain city away, so he had to retreat to Nanpi.
Yuan Shang decided to send troops to attack Yuan Tan under the Jianyi and Feng Ji, leaving the trial and Su You to garrison Yecheng, while the rest of the generals and strategists followed him into the plain and confronted Yuan Tan stationed in Nanpi.
In the eighth year of Jian'an, in June, Mi Zhen gave birth to a lovely daughter to Li Wei, named Li Ning, named Yan'er.
……
In October of the eighth year of Jian'an, Cai Yan, the wife of General Zhendong and the wife of Chen Guo, entered the court to offer improved papermaking techniques to Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty under the introduction of Sikong Cao Cao. Although there was Cai Lun papermaking in the Eastern Han Dynasty, because the way of making zuò was complicated and cumbersome, paper was only popular in the upper class; now Cai Yanjin's papermaking technique is not only low in cost, but also simple in making zuò, which can be completely spread to every corner of the Han Dynasty.
Such a technology that benefits the people appeared under his rule, and Emperor Han Xian, who was destined to leave a good reputation in the history books, was suddenly happy, and Cao Cao did not stop such immortal achievements on his body, but completely attributed them to Cai Yan's head, which made Emperor Han Xian even more happy, and suddenly felt that Cao Cao was not so hateful.
"Aiqing, what reward do you think should be given to Mrs. Chen Guo?" Emperor Han Xian asked Cao Cao from his seat.
"Your Majesty is tolerant, the minister thinks that Mrs. Chen Guo has made a contribution to the benefit of all generations this time, and she should be rewarded heavily!" Chen Jian raised Mrs. Chen Guo's rank to 2,000 stones, and gave a plaque to Mrs. Chen Guo by His Majesty, I don't know what His Majesty wants?" Cao Cao said.
"It's too light...... As Aiqing said, Mrs. Chen Guo has made immortal contributions this time, and such a reward is still too light. I don't know what else the Aiqing can build?" Emperor Han Xian did not deny Cao Cao's construction, but felt that such a reward would make the Han family too angry, so he asked.
"Your Majesty, it is better for Cai Zhonglang to chase after him, and at the same time tell the world that Cai Zhonglang has been wronged by Cai Zhonglang in the past. Yang Biao came out of the ranks.
In the past, Dong thieves used the lives of their clansmen to coerce Cai Aiqing to serve, and I also knew about it; I was also very sad that Cai Aiqing died unjustly in prison that day. If it hadn't been for Yang Aiqing mentioning this, I would have almost forgotten about it. Since Aiqing mentioned this matter, I don't know what to do?" Emperor Han Xian said to Yang Biao.
"Chen Jian yì for Cai Zhonglang to chase for the Han Confucian Lin Hou, looking for a feng shui treasure for Cai Zhonglang to move the burial, and then ordered the stonemason to recreate the Xiping stone scripture in the palace and place it in front of the tomb, in order to show the former Cai Zhonglang's orthography. Yang Biao waved his hand.
"Okay! Just do it! Leave this matter to Yang Aiqing...... What does Cao Aiqing think?" Emperor Han Xian high-fived and praised kindness, perhaps because he was too happy, he even skipped Cao Cao and ordered Yang Biao to handle the matter, and then seemed to think of Cao Cao again, and asked one by one.
"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, Chrysostom has been opened, and naturally he cannot repent, so why do you need to consult the minister again. The minister has no objection to this. Cao Cao respectfully bowed to Emperor Han, which made the latter breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time puzzled by Cao Cao's sudden such kind words.
In the eighth year of Jian'an, in December, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty issued an edict to entitle the late Cai Yong as the Marquis of Han Confucianism, and added the title of Cai Yan, the wife of Chen Guo, with a rank ratio of 2,000 stones, as the latter's contribution to papermaking.
With the advent of papermaking, the Han court in Xudu showed signs of revitalization, and many scholars and literati or people loyal to the Han family joined Cao Cao's rule, seeking opportunities to serve the Han family.
In the ninth year of Jian'an, in the first month, after spring ploughing, Cao Cao sent troops to Hebei to Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty at the court meeting to defeat the Yuan clan and unify the land of Hebei. Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty because of Cao Cao's previous series of actions, coupled with Cao Cao's use of the big move of 'the whole world is not the king's land', drove Cao Cao to lead the Son of Heaven to go to Hebei.
Li Wei said goodbye to his wife and concubine and three children who were still learning to speak, and led 50,000 troops to cross the Yellow River to attack Liyang and establish a foothold for Cao's army.
Because Yuan Shang took most of the elite, Liyang was only garrisoned by 5,000 old and weak recruits, and was soon captured by an army of 50,000 led by Li Wei.
After capturing Liyang, Li Wei stopped in place and consolidated the defensive front, waiting for and receiving the arrival of Cao Cao's Chinese army and logistical baggage.
On the other hand, hearing that Cao Cao was attacking his base camp Yecheng, Yuan Shang immediately abandoned the war with Yuan Tan and immediately led his army back to Yecheng. Yuan Tan in Nanpi City naturally did not miss this opportunity to beat the water dogs, and went out of the city to pursue and seize a lot of grain, grass and ordnance that Yuan Shangjun had no time to take away.
In the Liyang tent, after Cao Cao sent away Yuan Tan's envoy, he held a military meeting.
"Lord, although I don't know what strategy is, I know that Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang are already at the end of their crossbows, why do they still accept Yuan Tan's surrender? Xu Chu stood up and shouted loudly. It turned out that the envoy sent by Yuan Tan just now had come to surrender to Cao Cao, and the latter had already agreed to accept Yuan Tan's surrender.
"Who the hell are you, dare to pretend to be Xu Zhongkang! The Xu Zhongkang we know will not be so literate, quickly hand over the real Xu Chu!!" Li Wei's words caused everyone in the tent to laugh, even Cao Cao was no exception.
"Ahh Xu Chu first replied to Li Wei honestly, and then that triumphant look made everyone in the tent laugh. Until the end of the military discussion, Xu Chu couldn't figure out why other people always laughed when they heard his words.
"Zhong Kang, anyway, where the lord tells us to fight, we will fight wherever we go, what's the use of knowing so much. Dian Wei, who was guarding behind Cao Cao, spoke. Dian Wei and Xu Chu were both Cao Cao's guard commanders, taking turns guarding Cao Cao's safety. When one person is close to the guard, the other is in charge of the personal guard and is responsible for guarding the surrounding area.
"Hmm...... Evil is justified. To paraphrase An Min's evaluation of me, I am still too naïve. Xu Chu's words made Li Wei's head full of black lines, it was really naïve Xu Chu.
