Yesterday I went to a relative's gathering with my children, and I came home too late~~~ Now I make up for yesterday's drip ~~~

"It's better to have a comfortable life than to have a troubled life", this is a major principle of Cai Ji's chaotic times. Chasing the world is a difficult and lonely thorny road. Without the awareness that pain is an ally, it is impossible to continue on this path. What kind of character Cao Pi is in history, Cai Ji knows better than anyone in this era. But now that the marriage has been concluded, the reality needs to keep Cao Pi by his side and take care of it. Prejudice and preconceptions only make this awkward marriage even more disturbing. Therefore, from the first day of Cao Pi's arrival in Donglai, Cai Ji was secretly observing his every move.

It is worth affirming that Cao Pi's cousin did not disgrace his father Cao Cao. Whether he was confronted by an assassin or provoked, Cao Pi did not forget his duty. Of course, this thirteen-year-old boy will also show a little gloom and confusion from time to time. In Cai Ji's opinion, this is normal. If Cao Pi is giggling and laughing like he doesn't want to think about "Cao", Cai Ji will slander in his heart, what tricks is this Cao Zihuan playing?

In addition, another deep impression that Cao Pi has made on Cai Ji these days is his tenacity. In these troubled times, those who are too resolute will eventually succumb to the cruel reality, and those who are too fragile will not be able to cross the swamp of human nature. Only people who are as resilient as cattails can survive tenaciously in all kinds of environments. Although Cao Pi is still a teenager, he already has the potential in this area. This makes Cai Ji quite satisfied, and a tough person can at least judge the situation, and will not make unwise moves in a hot head. Just like Cao Pi at this time, although he was already anxious, he still adhered to the identity of a proton and did not make words and deeds that crossed the line. So Cai Ji decided to give Cao Pi a chance to express himself.

Knock, knock, knock...... With a burst of drums that resounded through the sky, Cai Ji took Cao Pi to the school stage surrounded by Jia Xu and others. But I saw and heard about the 50,000 Qi troops who entered the battle. The military appearance was neat and majestic, and the Changge battle armor glowed with a cold cold light in the sun. Gao Shun, Zhao Yun, Zhang Quan and other generals wore battle armor and straddled war horses. Standing in front of their respective formations, just waiting for Cai Ji's order, they can lead their tigers to attack the enemy formation. On the other side, Xiahou Yuan and Xu Huang also came to the school as guest generals. However, Xiahou Yuan looked bad, obviously tossing and turning all night and did not have a good rest.

Cai Ji pretended not to see Xiahou Yuan's strange appearance, and walked to the front of the formation. Facing the black pressed military formation. Proudly raised his hands. There are no rhetoric, no gold and silver rewards, Cai Ji, who is fluttering in clothes, just stood forward like this, and a mountain called the sea sounded on the school field in an instant, "Qi Hou is mighty!" Qi Hou is mighty! ”

Cao Pi stood behind Cai Ji and watched the 50,000 soldiers shout in unison "Qi Hou is mighty", and his childish face couldn't help but show admiration. And the eyes of Xiahou Yuan and Xu Huang when they looked at Cai Ji can be described as mixed. After the demonstration was almost there. Cai Ji waved his hand to signal the soldiers to be quiet. The Qi army below was indeed well-trained, and after a while, the school ground, which had been shouting loudly, was so silent that only the sound of horses stomping their hooves remained. Cai Ji looked around at the generals in front of him and said loudly. "Gao Shun is out of the ranks."

"The end will be." High conformity out of the ranks.

"Lone you are the vanguard of the three armies, leading 10,000 elite cavalry. Cross the Yellow River and attack Wei County. Cai Ji sent a token and said.

Gao Shun took the token and clenched his fists to receive the order, "The last general will obey the order." ”

Cai Ji took out another token from his sleeve and shouted at Xiao Jian and Zhang Quan, "Xiao Jian and Zhang Quan are out of the ranks!" ”

"The end will be." Xiao Jian and Zhang Quan both came out of the queue.

Cai Ji sent the token to the two people, "The two of them led 20,000 troops to cross the Yellow River and attack the Qing River." ”

"Whoa." Xiao Jian and Zhang Quan led the order in unison.

Xiahou Yuan stood aside and listened to Cai Ji's two military orders, both of which were to send troops across the Yellow River to attack Yuan Shao's hinterland, and he knew that Cai Ji was planning to besiege Wei and save Zhao. Although this is also to rescue Cao Cao, Cao Cao is currently engaged in a life-and-death battle with Yuan Shao. Perhaps before Cai Ji threatened Yuan Shao's rear, Guandu Cao's camp was first destroyed by Yuan Shao. Xiahou Yuan's face suddenly darkened when he realized this. And just as he snorted coldly and rolled his eyes, he "coincidentally" met Cai Ji's gaze. saw that Cai Ji was looking at Xiahou Yuan and Xu Huang with a smile at this time. Seeing this situation, Xiahou Yuan, who was already dissatisfied, was even more angry.

However, before Xiahou Yuan could blow his beard and stare at him, Cai Ji had already taken out the third token and announced loudly, "Zhao Yun listens to the order." ”

"The end will be." Zhao Yun dismounted and walked out of the queue.

Cai Ji handed out the token and said, "Lone Ru led 10,000 foot riders, cooperated with General Xiahou, General Xu Huang and Cao Gongzi, and rushed to Guandu to rescue Cao Sikong day and night. ”

Zhao Yun did not participate in last night's meeting, and at this moment, hearing Cai Ji's arrangement, he thought that his master really wanted to save Cao Cao. Although Zhao Yun was dissatisfied with Cao Cao's coercion of the Son of Heaven to order the princes, the military order was the military order. Therefore, after only a little flurging, he took the token and hugged his fist, "The last general will obey." ”

On the other hand, Xiahou Yuan saw that Cai Ji had really sent troops to rescue Guandu, and his face immediately turned from gloomy to sunny and showed a relieved smile. At the same time, I was deeply embarrassed by my act of spending the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain just now. But seeing that he immediately took a step forward and Xu Huang, Cai Ji bowed convincingly, "Thank you Qi Hou for your help." ”

Of course, it is not only Xiahou Yuan and Xu Huang who are grateful to Cai Ji at this time. After Cao Pi heard that Cai Ji let him go to the rescue of Guandu, his expression also changed from surprise to joy. While excited, he also quickly stepped forward and bowed to Cai Ji and said, "Thank you Qi Hou for saving my father." ”

"There is no need to be polite. Sikong Yuqing is a lonely elder, Yu Li is a lonely ally, and it is a matter of course for a lonely soldier to rescue. General Zhao is strong in martial arts and loyal, and I believe that the three of them will cooperate happily with him. And Lone will lead his troops to Guandu later. Cai Ji promised unashamedly. It is said that today's arrangement is actually the result of serious discussions between Cai Ji, Jia Xu and others. Since the ultimate goal is to dominate Hebei, Cai Ji's main direction of attack is Yuan Shao's hinterland rather than Guandu. In this case, it is natural that Xiahou Yuan, Xu Huang, and Cao Pi can not be said to stay by their side to get in the way. For this reason, Cai Ji separately allocated a team of people to these three people and asked them to rush to Guandu to rescue Cao Cao. Of course, in order to prevent the appearance of an oolong that does not return the borrowed troops, Cai Ji also needs to send one of his own people to sit in it, and this person is Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun is both in character. is still at odds with Cao Cao in terms of ambition. Cai Ji believed that even if Cao Cao had the ability to make the stone speak, he would not have the ability to poach Zhao Yun. It's just that Zhao Yun has a good temperament, and Cai Ji is afraid that he won't be able to lie in front of Cao Cao, so he didn't tell him his true plan. And with Cai Ji's understanding of Zhao Yun, the unknowing Zhao Yun will be able to "act" so much that even Cao Cao can't find a mistake.

When Cai Ji was dispatching troops in Plains City. Yuan Shao, who was in Guandu, was furious at the escape of Xiahou Yuan and the others. It turned out that after Yuan Shao boasted to Cao Cao on the first day of the war, he always wanted to take the heads of Xiahou Yuan and others to show off to Cao Cao. But who would have thought that every few days, the news of Cao's army breaking through came from Wuchao.

I watched the cooked duck fly away. Yuan Shao waved his sword in the tent on the spot to cut off the case, and said angrily, "What a high view, you dare to deceive Yu Me!" ”

Frustrated, Yuan Shao, who was furious, had a posture of questioning the guilt. Hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade him. "Your Majesty is angry. General Gao Ran did not mean to deceive the king. It was all because Cai Anzhen's offensive was too fierce that General Gao Ran couldn't take care of it, so Xiahou Yuan had an opportunity to break through. ”

It turned out that not long after Xiahou Yuan broke through, Gao Ran received Yuan Shao's holy decree ordering him to defend the border between Yuzhou and Qingzhou. In order to shirk the responsibility of letting Xiahou Yuan go, General Gao Ran deliberately postponed the news of Cao's breakthrough from Wuchao for several days. In this way, the fierceness of the Qi army can be used as an excuse for the black nest to miss. Therefore, at this time, Yuan Shao thought that Xiahou Yuan had just run for a long time, and he couldn't imagine that in fact, Xiahou Yuan had arrived in the plain with Xu Huang and brought rescue troops to Cai Ji.

However, although the information obtained by Yuan Shao was discrepant, the article about the ferocity of the Qi army's offensive was mentioned in many war reports in the past two days. First Qingzhou, then Bohai. In just ten days, the Qi army doubled the territory of General Cai Ji, which made the always arrogant Yuan Shao both painful and annoyed. The pain is that one of his own negligences actually made Cai Ji's cheap maid turn into a fire to rob and occupy the weakly defended Bohai and other counties. Annoyed that neither in Qingzhou nor in Bohai did the local military and civilians hold the city. As Xin Ping, who is not a driver in Qingzhou, and Gong Ji, who is too guarded in Bohai, took the lead in demoting Cai Ji. was so angry that Yuan Shao scolded the two for being ungrateful. The people of both places are Diao people. In this regard, the military and civilians under Yuan Shao's rule may also be full of grievances, after all, Yuan's Great Chen State has only been established for a year. How can the recognition of the people under his rule be comparable to that of the Han Dynasty, which has been in the country for more than 400 years.

Of course, Yuan Shao himself will not reflect on this. If it weren't for the fact that the battle of Guandu had entered the final decisive stage, Yuan Shao didn't want to give up his efforts at the critical juncture when he had already seen the banner of Cao Cao's Chinese army, he might have already withdrawn his troops, turned to deal with Cai Ji, and cleaned up the ungrateful people.

Therefore, after listening to the forbidden words, Yuan Shao calmed down a little, put away his sword and said, "The public and the words are reasonable. It's lonely and impatient. ”

It was rare to see Yuan Shao take the initiative to admit his mistake, and while he was relieved, he hurriedly mentioned to Yuan Shao while the iron was hot, "Your Majesty, Cai Anzhen has now occupied the entire territory of Qingzhou, and the minister thinks that because he let Gao Ran drag Cai Anzhen, beware of him crossing the river to attack Wei County." ”

"That's it, I will seal Gao Ran as the Marquis of Donglai, and order him to atone for his sins and take down Cai Anzhen." After Yuan Shao thought about it, he made such a decision that seemed to him to be both graceful and powerful.

But in the eyes of Yuan Shao, although he played a little clever and intended to provoke Gao Ran and Cai Ji to fight to the death, the actual effect was not good. It must be known that Donglai County is the place where Cai Ji started, and Yuan Shao's title of Gao Lan as Donglai Hou is just an empty title. Using an empty title to make Gao Ran attack Cai Ji, who is ten times stronger than him, is really a bit ridiculous and generous. However, he also knew that this was the biggest concession Yuan Shao could make. I hope that Gao Ran will be smart enough after receiving the holy decree to be unmoved and continue to nest in the city and deal with Cai Ji. In this way, it can also buy Yuan Shao more time to eliminate Cao Cao on the other side.

When I thought of Cao Cao's frustration, I couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness in my heart. He also knew that Cao Cao was a difficult character to deal with, but he never expected Cao Mengde to be such a difficult and tenacious opponent. It was not that Fu Zhi and Yuan Shao had fought hard siege battles before. The Battle of Yijing was the first fortress in the world, and Yuan Shao paid tens of thousands of soldiers and horses and with the help of the art of heaven and earth cracking to take Yijing. Gongsun Chan was directly scared to suicide. But Cao Cao on the other side is a person who does not advance in firewood and rice, whether it is the technique of landslide and ground cracking, or wave after wave of attacks day and night, it cannot destroy Cao Cao's will to fight. In addition, Cai Ji is now lighting a fire in Yuan Shao's backyard again. He was even more worried about whether his soldiers and horses could hold out until the moment of breaking through Cao's camp.

Although Yuan Shao didn't think as much as he thought about it, he also knew that once Wei County was attacked, Yecheng would also be in danger. But after seeing him go around the tent, he asked irritably, "There is no news from the highway guy?" I let him guard the two roads in the rear, this guy is easy to run away with! ”

Frustrated and thinking that Yuan Highway is a repeated, do you still believe him? But when the words came to his mouth, he still enlightened Yuan Shao, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid Yuan Shu can't count on it this time." The minister asked His Majesty to order His Royal Highness and Gaozhou Mu to rush south to aid Jizhou. ”

The Second Highness and Gaozhou Mu mentioned by Fu Zhu were Yuan Shao's second son Yuan Xi and his nephew Gao Gan. These two people, one guarding Youzhou, and the other guarding Merging Prefecture, are the two complete forces that Yuan Shao has not yet used. Yuan Xi has always had a good relationship with the Wuhuan and Xianbei tribes in Youzhou, and his soldiers and horses have also experienced the great battle with Gongsun Zhan. Although Gao Gan's temper was rough, he was proficient in martial arts and strategy, and he was quite prestigious in Hebei, and he was even closer to the Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu Luan Tihu Chuquan and others. Of course, Fu Zhi didn't know that in the history of another time and space, Gao Cadre, as the last complete army of the Yuan clan, even Cao Cao didn't dare to touch him lightly. Gao Gan himself surrendered to Cao Cao first when the Yuan brothers turned against him, and then took advantage of Cao Cao's conquest of Wuhuan to oppose Cao, and was finally eliminated by Cao Cao in the eleventh year of Jian'an. Therefore, the soldiers and horses in the hands of Yuan Xi and Gao Gan have not only been killed for a long time, but also are mainly cavalry who are good at riding and shooting. Once the two of them went south to help Jizhou, Yuan Shao could continue to fight Cao Cao in Yuzhou with peace of mind.

"Let Xi'er and Gan'er go south?" Yuan Shao frowned slightly hesitantly. The reason why Yuan Shao assigned Yuan Xi and Gao Gan to Youzhou and Merge Prefecture was to make it seem fair to release Yuan Tan, and secondly, it was also out of consideration for defending the frontier. It must be known that there have always been many different races in the two states, and the people are fierce, so Yuan Shao is not at ease to hand over these two areas to outsiders to take care of.

Fu Zhu saw Yuan Shao's hesitation, but the current situation could not allow Yuan Shao to hesitate. But he listened to the frustration and pointed to the point, "Your Majesty, if Jizhou is not guaranteed, what is the use of seclusion?" ”

Yuan Shao was frustrated and said this, and he thought to himself that Jizhou is where the foundation of the Great Chen State is located, and his national capital and granary are all in Jizhou. Although Yuan Shao didn't believe that the little Cai Ji could swallow Jizhou in one bite, he couldn't let the woman's soldiers and horses continue to wreak havoc in Jizhou. In this way, after weighing the pros and cons, Yuan Shao finally made a decision and said, "Order, order Yuan Xi and Gao Gan to go south to help Jizhou!" (To be continued)
