Since the government began to buy locusts, the disaster situation in the two states has been well controlled.

Although many people were affected by the locust plague and their crops were eaten up, the local government also provided timely assistance.

After Qin Hua's many reforms in the administration of officials, the phenomenon of corruption and corruption has been significantly improved, and Qin Hua's territory should be the clearest place in the Han Dynasty now.

Although it is inevitable that there will be corrupt officials, they at least dare not do these things blatantly, otherwise the procurators in various places will not be decorations.

At the same time, Cao Cao's army also set off after the arrival of spring.

Cao Cao sent a total of 120,000 troops to attack Lü Bu this time, one of which was commanded by Cao Ren, and the troops went out of Lu with 60,000 troops.

The other was personally commanded by Cao Cao, and troops were sent by Xuchang to Xuzhou City, where Lu Bu was located.

After learning that Cao Cao had sent troops, Chen Gong also immediately mobilized troops and horses from all over the country to prepare to meet Cao Cao.

Lu Bu, who had always only known about drinking and enjoying himself, also began to quit drinking, and he also knew that if he couldn't block Cao Cao's attack, then he would lose everything he had.

Because he received Qin Hua's "ransom", Lu Bu now has a lot of money, so he bought 5,000 war horses from other places, and together with the original war horses, he formed a cavalry team of 10,000 people.

He recruited 30,000 soldiers in Xuzhou, so now there are 90,000 troops under Lü Bu's command.

In addition, because of Cao Cao's massacre in Xuzhou, the people of Xuzhou were also very nervous about Cao Cao's attack, and many people joined Lu Bu's army, which made Lu Bu's army strengthened again, and now it is close to 100,000 in scale.

Chen Gong led Hao Meng and Cao Xing to lead 40,000 troops to resist Cao Ren; Lü Bu personally led the remaining nearly 60,000 troops to fight against Cao Cao.

"Fengxiao, this time I will work for you."

Cao Cao said to Guo Jiayi.

"Cao Gong is polite, Jia will definitely live up to his mission."

Guo Jia smiled and waved to Cao Cao, and left in the carriage.

There were also two beautiful singers on top of the carriage, which was requested by Guo Jia and also approved by Cao Cao.

As long as Guo Jia had weaknesses, Cao Cao believed that he could submit this great talent.

This time, Guo Jia participated as a military advisor, but he did not follow Cao Cao's side, but in Cao Ren's army.

Cao Ren's army had Xiahoudun as the vanguard, and also Cao Hong and other generals, but there was no think tank, so Cao Cao arranged Guo Jia by their side.

Guo Jia is just a strategist and does not have any real power, he only provides advice to Cao Ren and others, and it is up to Cao Ren to decide whether to adopt it or not.

At the same time, Cao Cao also arranged for 100 tiger guards to be by Guo Jia's side, which was called protection.

The Tiger Ben Guard is Cao Cao's personal guard, and it is also the most elite unit under Cao Cao's command except for the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

"Lord, although Guo Jia is talented, but his head is under Qin Hua, I am afraid he can't be trusted."

Full of pet worriedly looked in the direction of Guo Jia's departure and said to Cao Cao.

"Direction, I have already explained Zixiao, let him pay attention to Guo Jia's every move. The main reason is that Zhicai is seriously ill, and if Wen needs to stay in Xuchang, I can't help it. ”

Cao Cao does have a lot less talents than in history, Xun You and Jia Xu are now under Qin Hua's command, and Cheng Yu is better at legalist criminal law than strategy; Man Favor, Mao Jue and others are also longer than internal affairs.

Originally, Cao Cao's chief strategist was Xi Zhicai, but unfortunately now that Xi Zhicai is seriously ill, Guo Jia, who was supposed to take over Xi Zhicai's position, did not dare to fully trust it.

"Husband, my father sent two more beauties, do you want to go to my place to have a look?"

Beigong Tiexin came to Qin Hua's study with a bowl of soup, Qin Hua immediately stood up and took it, and then carefully helped Beigong Tiexin to the seat.

At this time, Beigong Tiexin was also pregnant, and it was not very convenient to walk.

Stroking Beigong Tiexin's bulging belly, Qin Hua said lovingly: "Now that you are pregnant, it is difficult to walk, so it is better not to move too much." And your father should not send any more beautiful women over. ”

"Is the husband dissatisfied with the people sent by his father, these are the best beauties of the Qiang people."

Seeing Qin Hua say this, Beigong Tiexin immediately became a little worried, now Beigong Boyu can continue to swallow the Qiang tribe and rely on Qin Hua as a backing, of course, Beigong Tiexin is also constantly providing supplies for Qin Hua.

It's just that Beigong Tiexin's ambition is greater, and he wants to become the king of the entire Qiang tribe, so assistance from Qin Hua is essential.

Now Beigong Boyu is fighting with the alliance of Baima Qiang and other tribes, as long as he can win, his power will be greatly developed, and it can even be said that he has become the king of the Qiang tribe.

"I'll have you all it takes."

Qin Hua affectionately touched Beigong Tiexin's head and began to talk to her about the baby's name.

If it was a son, Qin Hua wanted to name him Qin Tie, and the iron was naturally taken from the iron heart of Beigong Tie.

If it is a daughter, it is called Qin Xin, of course, it is also taken from Beigong Tiexin, and Beigong Tiexin does not seem to object to this.

However, what she wanted in her heart was to give birth to a son, so that she could occupy more of a position in Qin Hua's heart.

"My father told me to go back after giving birth, but my mother's health doesn't seem to be very good."

Suddenly, Beigong Tiexin said with a frown.

"It's so self-deserving, but it's best to recuperate for two months before leaving, the body is too weak just after giving birth."

"Okay."

In fact, Beigong Tiexin also has other purposes for going back this time, she has already asked Hua Tuo, this time the fetus is very likely to be a boy, Beigong Tiexin went back this time to get her father's support.

Now Qin Hua only has two sons and a daughter, the biological mothers of the two sons are Diao Xiuer and Cui'er, and the daughter is born to his wife Cai Yan.

Xiu'er is only the daughter of a Han criminal official, although she is nominally the daughter of Situ Wang Yun, but in fact she was born as a dancing girl. In addition, Wang Yun was also condemned as a rebel by the Emperor of the Han Dynasty (what Li Wei requested, he still has not been rehabilitated). In addition, Beigong Tiexin learned that Qin Huang was very disgusted with Xiu'er, if it weren't for Qin Kou's existence, Qin Huang would even kill Xiu'er directly.

And Cui'er is not to mention, she was just Qin Hua's maid at first, how can the two of them compare their backgrounds to Beigong Tiexin.

Even Cai Yan, the wife, has no backing, and the most important thing is that she gave birth to a daughter.

So now Qin Hua has no sons-in-law, and his two sons are concubines, so why can't his son snatch the position of the son?

After sending away Beigong Tiexin, Qin Hua picked up the letter on the table again and read it, Cao Cao's main force had already conquered sixteen cities and was about to hit Xuzhou City.

However, the soldiers and horses of Cao Ren of Lu State were blocked by Chen Gong under Lu City, and they were not allowed to advance an inch.

"It's time for me to act."

Qin Hua put down the letter and whispered.
