Jia Xu said: "Instead of placing troops in Luoyang and attracting the suspicion of Yuan Shao and others, it is better to follow their wishes and send the army to Hanzhong." Then sit back and wait for the snipe and mussels to compete, and then the fisherman will profit. ”

Qin Hua could only continue to let his army move, although he really wanted to give these soldiers and himself a vacation.

But the soldiers were happy, they were all professional soldiers.

Since Qin Hua is now mainly using the conscription system, these soldiers can obtain enough military merits in the army, and then they can choose to retire from the army without waiting for their age.

This makes them want to fight a few more battles, get enough merits as soon as possible, and return home.

Qin Hua didn't continue to let Zhang Liao lead the troops this time, not that Qin Hua no longer trusted Zhang Liao, but that he wanted Zhang Liao to take a break.

Compared with himself, Zhang Liao has really fought in the south and the north over the years, leaving Zhang Liao's footprints from the northern prairies to the countries of the Western Regions.

Qin Hua specially asked Zhang Liao to stay in Chang'an for a long vacation this time, so as to accompany his wife who had just passed the door.

Because Zhang Liao has been fighting abroad, it was not until last year that he became married to the daughter of a family in Liangzhou under the introduction of Qin Huang.

Today, Zhang Liao's wife is also pregnant, and Qin Hua wants him to stay with his wife and watch his children be born.

And because of Zhang Liao's achievements over the years, Qin Hua also specially asked for a position as a general in Zhenxi for him.

The person who replaced Zhang Liao to go to Hanzhong was naturally Ma Teng, Ma Teng had been guarding Liangzhou for Qinhua all these years, and watching Zhang Liao and others continue to build meritorious deeds, he had already applied to fight many times.

It's just that Qin Hua has to guard Liangzhou alone, and the person he trusts the most is actually Ma Teng.

This time, there is finally a chance for Ma to play.

"My lord, the cotton cloth is knit out."

A small official put a cotton cloth in front of Qin Hua,

Touching the long-lost touch, Qin Hua was sure that it was indeed made of cotton.

"Have you decided on a planting site?"

"Yes, according to the order of the lord, we have completed negotiations with the countries of the Western Regions, and they have agreed to arrange for people to join the plantation. Moreover, after hearing the news, the major families also bought land in the Western Regions and opened their own cotton plantations. ”

"Well, let's see how the first season goes."

Qin Hua touched a frosty scimitar and said.

This time, the caravan not only brought back a large number of cotton seeds and cotton planting technology, but also brought back a lot of their goods from Shuanggui.

The richly decorated scimitar in Qin Hua's hand was the commodity brought back by the caravan.

Although I don't know how the sales of these things are in the Central Plains, my own taxes have already been enough, so let the Chamber of Commerce worry about the problem of sales.

If cotton can be successfully planted in the countries of the Western Regions, then the clothing in food, clothing, housing and transportation will be solved.

With cotton, animal skins provided by nomadic peoples such as Xianbei, Qiang, and Xiongnu, the people of Qin Hua will no longer worry about clothing.

The reason why cotton was not planted in Liangzhou and other places was mainly because Qin Hua was worried that this would affect the output of grain.

It's still a time of war, and food is more important than clothes.

In order to hoard enough food, Qin Hua also issued a ban on alcohol in his own territory, prohibiting the people from starting to make a large amount of wine because of the improvement of their living standards, of course, small areas of wine are still allowed.

After Qin Hua pulled the army to Hanzhong, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were really relieved.

Yuan Shao received an official letter asking for help from Badun, requesting Yuan Shao to send troops on the condition of forming an iron alliance.

said that if Yuan Shao could quell the rebellion of the Three Kings for himself, then he would fully assist Yuan Shao.

The total strength of the three kings was 180,000, while the number of troops in Bunton was less than 70,000.

Yuan Shao decisively ordered the dispatch of troops after receiving the letter from Badun.

Yuan Shao poured all the troops under his command, a total of 300,000 troops, and one body broke through the army of the three kings, so that Bandun could smoothly inherit the position of Wuhuan Shan Yu.

In this war, the most brilliant was not Yuan Shao's two generals, Yan Liang and Wen Chou, but a general named Ju Yi.

Tian Feng, who had seen Qin Hua's trapped camp and Xuanjia Cavalry, asked Yuan Shao to train an elite army of his own after returning to Yuan Shao's command.

And Tian Feng heard that Ju Yi was good at training, so he recommended him to Yuan Shao.

Ju Yi really did not disappoint Tian Feng, and the four thousand halberd warriors showed great combat power in the face of the Wuhuan cavalry.

The iron armor of dozens of catties on the whole body is not at all what the arrows of those cavalry can hurt.

If Qin Hua was here, he would definitely exclaim in surprise, these so-called halberds were actually the heavy infantry in Qin Hua's impression.

And unlike the spear and shield soldiers who are trapped in the camp, the Euphorbia is the heavy spearmen of the heavy infantry and the natural enemy of the light cavalry.

Another difference between the two is that when choosing a camp, you will not only look at strength, but also need to have rich combat experience and perseverance.

And the only requirement for a halberd warrior is to have great strength, after all, not everyone can wear dozens or hundreds of pounds of iron armor and fight with a halberd.

Because of this incident, Ju Yi began to receive Yuan Shao's attention, and his position was rapidly promoted, and he is now second only to Yuan Shao's four fierce generals known as the "Hebei Four Court Pillars".

Cao Cao also took advantage of Qin Hua's expedition to Yizhou and began to plan Xuzhou.

It's just that Cao Cao didn't expect that not long after he led his troops out, a 10,000-strong Yuan Shu army sneaked to Xudu.

In the case of Dong Cheng's internal response, he fought all the way to the vicinity of the palace.

Fortunately, Cao Cao still had 20,000 troops in Xudu, and finally drove Yuan Shu's army out.

During this period, there were two generals surnamed Li who were the most active.

One person is named Li Dian, whose name is Mancheng, and he is Cao Cao's general who stayed behind in Xudu.

One person is named Li Tong, the word Wenda, who was originally the Taishou of Runan, and later led the crowd to join Cao Cao's command. This time, thanks to Li Tong's rescue of Xu Du, Yuan Shu's plan would fail.

When Qin Hua received the news, he recognized Li Dian's name at a glance.

It's not that he knows Li Dian's past, but because in the arcade Three Kingdoms games that Qin Hua often played when he was a child, Li Dian was the boss of the first level.

After receiving the news, Cao Cao immediately gave up attacking Xuzhou and immediately led his troops back to Xudu.

In view of Dong Cheng and others' fornication with Yuan Shu to attack Xudu, Cao Cao was very angry.

On the day he returned to Xudu, Cao Cao beheaded Dong Cheng, Yang Feng and others, and also carried out a major purge of those civil and military officials in Xudu, as long as they had a little connection with this matter, all those who had anything to do with this matter were arrested.

Although Emperor Liu Xie was not affected by this incident, he kept hearing the news that some officials had been arrested, and he still felt terrified.

Dong Cheng's daughter, Dong Guiren heard that her father had been killed, so she came to Liu Xie to cry, but was slapped to the ground by Liu Xie.

"I can't protect myself, and you still want me to avenge your father? If it weren't for Dong Cheng's poor planning, how could I have ended up in such a situation. ”

"Your Majesty, don't be impatient."

Li Ru, who had been sitting beside him, stood up and said to Liu Xie when he saw this.

"I regret not listening to Mr. 's words, then Dong Cheng is really a person who has not done enough."

When Dong Cheng proposed to let Liu Xie flee to Shouchun, Li Ru once spoke out against it.

But seeing that Cao Cao's majesty was growing and he was less and less interested in himself, Liu Xie finally decided to follow Dong Cheng's strategy.

"Cao Mengde doesn't dare to embarrass Your Majesty at this time, Your Majesty still needs to be patient."

Li Ru said to Liu Xiejin.

"Forbearance, how else do I have to forbear."

Liu Xie said to Li Ru emotionally.

"Today, in the court, Cao Cao hung a sword on his waist, and when he saw me, he didn't worship, I was the Son of Heaven, how could I be treated like this?"

"Then Dong Zhuo did he bow down when he saw His Majesty?"

Li Ru's words made Liu Xie immediately quiet down.

may have been young at the time, and Liu Xie's fear of Dong Zhuo was far greater than that of Cao Cao.

Hearing Li Ru mention Dong Zhuo, even though Dong Zhuo had been dead for several years, Liu Xie's heart still contracted suddenly.

"At this time, Cao Cao is powerful, and His Majesty is powerless to resist, so why not pretend to be obedient to weaken Cao Cao's vigilance, and at the same time let everyone in the world see how he Cao Mengde treats the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty. When someone uses this to attack Cao Cao, then it will be the day of His Majesty's plan. ”

"Are you saying that I turned a blind eye to what Cao Cao did? What will the courtiers think of me? ”

Liu Xie feared that if he was indifferent to Cao Cao's wanton arrest of officials, those who were loyal to him would be chilled.

"The ministers of the DPRK and China are all people of insight, how can they not see clearly that this is all Cao Mengde's doing, Your Majesty is also helpless, how can they blame you."

"So let's listen to the gentleman."

Liu Xie walked to Dong Guiren's side, carefully helped her up, and helped her slowly walk towards the harem.

Looking at Liu Xie's distant back, Li Ru suddenly showed a cold light.

For Dong Zhuo's death, he has learned all the beginnings and ends. The mastermind Wang Yun is dead, and Lu Bu is not far from death.

Li Ru wants to avenge Dong Zhuo, that is, only Liu Xie is left in front of him.

However, he didn't want Liu Xie to die so easily, he wanted Liu Xie to see the Han River and Mountains lost in his hands and die in pain.

There are also those princes who participated in the attack on Dong Zhuo, and he doesn't want them to have a good time, including Qin Hua.

Now Li Ru has lost everything, and his personality has begun to become paranoid and distorted.

Qin Hua suddenly shuddered at this time, as if someone was staring at him.

But when I looked up, I didn't see anyone.

Continue to watch the information in your hand, this is the information sent by the Nighthawk from Yanzhou.

It said that traces of suspected Mrs. Diao were found in Taishan County, Yanzhou.

Qin Hua knew that Wang Yun had asked Xiu'er to go to Jingzhou, but she didn't know what was going on, and now she actually went to Yanzhou.

"Cao Cao's territory."

Crumpling the letter paper, Qin Hua began to think about how to bring Xiu'er back.

He already knew that Xiu'er left him because of Wang Yun's pleading, and then he was assassinated by the shadow guard, so he didn't return to Liangzhou.

Qin Hua was ready to take Xiu'er back to Chang'an and return to his side.

It's just that now Xiu'er is in Cao Cao's territory, if it was someone else, Qin Hua wouldn't mind letting Cao Cao send someone over.

But if it was a beauty like Xiu'er, Qin Hua really didn't dare to ask Cao Cao.

The saying that Cao Cao is a good wife was widely spread in the world before Qin Hua crossed over.

"In that case..."

Qin Hua finally made up his mind and threw the paper ball in his hand into the brazier.

"Oh no, no."

The two servants walked towards Qin Huang and Jia Xu's mansions respectively.

"What, Hua'er/Lord Gong is missing?"

Qin Huang and Jia Xu said in unison in different locations.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, the lord left a letter saying that he was going out for a walk, and the sword was missing with the lord."

"Nonsense."

Qin Huang was furious, he thought that Qin Hua had matured since that serious injury, but he didn't expect it, but he still didn't know the severity.

Now that the situation in Liangzhou is very good, how can you play missing at such a time.

"You go down first, remember, the news of Hua'er's departure must be kept secret."

"Yes."

Soon after the man left, Qin Huang ordered all the shadow guards to be dispatched, and it was important to find Qin Hua back as soon as possible.

Although Jia Xu was also surprised by the news of Qin Hua's disappearance, he was not as excited as Qin Huang.

First, he asked the person who came to report the specific details of Qin Hua's disappearance, and then he began to think about why Qin Hua suddenly disappeared.

After learning that Qin Hua was informed by Nighthawk, he wanted to go out.

Jia Xu immediately called Nighthawk's and asked Qin Hua what information he had received recently.

"Miss Dong, I don't know where you know where the Nighthawk information was sent directly to the lord?"

Ever since Dong Bai knew that Qin Hua still had the special team of Nighthawk in his hands, he had been pestering Qin Hua to join Nighthawk.

Dong Bai knew that it was impossible for her to get an official position, and the Dong family was now a man, and she wanted to work hard to make the Dong family strong again, so she set her sights on Qin Hua's nighthawk.

Originally, Qin Hua had always handed over the Nighthawk to Qin Yue to manage, but he couldn't stand Dong Bai's entanglement, so Qin Hua still decided to let Dong Bai join in.

As Qin Hua's woman, Dong Bai naturally couldn't join Nighthawk as an ordinary person.

As soon as she came up, she became Qin Yue's assistant.

Although Dong Bai is young, he is experienced in doing things, and he is also very good at commanding his subordinates, which is estimated to have been formed by Dong Zhuo and Qin Hua when they were around.

And Dong Bai seems to be very good at espionage warfare, and Qin Hua is very satisfied with handling things since he took office.

In order to be able to collect more information, Dong Bai also separated an all-female department from the Nighthawk to collect intelligence from the backyards of prostitutes and officials, and named it "Nightingale".

Gradually, Qin Hua completely handed over the Nighthawk to Dong Bai, and Qin Yue concentrated on dealing with the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce.

"I've already inquired, it's a recent message from Nighthawk from Taishan County, Yanzhou."

Dong Bai was very efficient and quickly understood the situation, but she still didn't know the news Qin Hua received.

Because Dong Bai has only recently taken over Nighthawk, he can't fully control it yet.

"I'll get Nighthawk from Tarzan County to send another copy of that news as soon as possible."

"Well, you go and deal with this matter, but I think it is very likely that the lord has gone to Taishan County, and it is very likely that it is related to Mrs. Diao."

Jia Xu quickly analyzed Qin Hua's whereabouts, but now the more important thing is how to hide Qin Hua's news.

After all, the sudden disappearance of the lord has an impact on everything in the territory.

"While waiting for the news of the Nighthawk in Taishan County, you should first send your right-hand men to Taishan County, and let the people of Taishan County also pay close attention to the movements of the lord, and bring him back if you find out. I'll go inform General Zhang Liao. ”

Jia Xu quickly issued an order to make up for Qin Hua's sudden disappearance.

Now, although Qin Hua may be the strongest among the forces, he is also the target of everyone, and if he is not careful, he will fall into a place of no return.
