Xuchang, Caofu. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Since the battle of Guandu, although Cao Cao failed to completely defeat Yuan Shao in one fell swoop, but the prestige is growing, coupled with the name of righteousness, since the battle of Guandu, Cao Cao has no matter whether he governs the land or the army, compared to the battle of Guandu, it is much stronger, counting, the battle of Guandu, Cao Cao should be regarded as the biggest winner, although Lu Bu won the state, and got a million Montenegrin people, but if you talk about the receipt, it is not as good as Cao Cao, Cao Cao after this battle, it is completely leveled his weakness in the face of Yuan Shao.

During this time, although the front line was hot, but Cao Cao's rule was becoming more and more stable, if before the battle of Guandu, Cao Cao could only take out the troops of 50,000 or 60,000, then now, Cao Cao sent Li Dian, Cao Ren, Xiahoudun three troops and horses, still have the spare strength to gather another 100,000 troops.

Not because of the expansion of the chassis or the increase in population, but after this battle, Cao Cao completely reached the same level as Yuan Shao in terms of prestige.

Prestige is an intangible thing, it sounds useless, but for example, before the battle of Guandu, not many people were optimistic about Cao Cao, and the family under Cao Cao was worried that after Yuan Shao defeated Cao Cao in the future, he would settle accounts with them in the autumn, and would not do his best to help Cao Cao, and even Yang Feng Yin disobeyed, but after the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao used his ability to prove to the world that he had the military ability and means to defeat the strong with the weak, and the balance in the heart of the family naturally began to tilt towards Cao Cao, and then, there was no shortage of grain, grass and talents.

Although the territory did not expand much, and the population did not grow much, the control of the rule was unprecedentedly improved, and it was only after the Battle of Guandu that Cao Cao's hegemony was completely established.

"Lord, just now our army was ambushed in Jingxiang's detailed work to report, Liu Biao suddenly stationed troops in Wancheng, and the movement is unknown." Xun You walked in and bowed to Cao Cao.

"Oh?" Cao Cao straightened up, looked at Xun You, frowned, and said, "Do you know what happened?" ”

"Lu Bu sent an envoy to Jingxiang, and it seems that he has reached an agreement with Liu Jingsheng, but it seems that there is a conflict with the four great families of Jingxiang, and now the envoy is being hunted down by Cai Mao and Huang Zu." Xun Yu smiled.

"Liu Jingsheng is also a masterpiece in the world, but it's a pity that ......" Cao Cao shook his head and didn't continue, Liu Biao went down to Jingzhou alone, but if you look deeper, from beginning to end, Liu Biao has not been able to really master Jingxiang, which is also the fundamental reason why Liu Biao has always owned the rich land of Jingzhou, but he has watched Cao Cao in the north gradually grow bigger.

Cao Cao started his family, with the help of brothers of the same clan, Cao Ren, Cao Chun, Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuan, a large number of fierce generals to help, not to mention Yuan Shao, his own reputation can deter most families, as for Lu Bu...... Well, Lu Bu is in a special situation, he is not among them, and he has nothing to do with the family at all, but what about Liu Biao? Horses go down to Jingzhou, it sounds like a bull, but in fact, it was just the choice of the Jingxiang family's own interests at that time, Liu Biao has been trying to cultivate his own strength to fight against the family over the years, and he has indeed made achievements, such as Liu Pan, Wenpin, Wang Wei, all of whom were promoted by Liu Biao, but unfortunately, it is precisely because of this that Liu Biao missed the biggest opportunity.

Assuming that Liu Biao entered Jingzhou at the beginning, there would be two fierce generals like Guan Zhang by his side, and the situation today may be different.

"Don't pay attention to him, Tun soldiers in Nanyang, Liu Biao can only do this at most." Cao Cao said with a smile: "It may be okay to wave the flag and shout to cheer, but to let him send troops to help, Liu Jingsheng is powerless." ”

Xun You smiled when he heard this, shook his head and said: "The one who is worried about it is not Liu Biao, there is one more person who can help Lu Bu contain our army." ”

"Gongda is saying......" Cao Cao put away his smile and turned his head to look at Xun You: "Jiangdong Sun?" ”

"Not bad." Xun You nodded seriously and said: "Jiangdong Sun family has been operated for three generations, with the Yangtze River moat as the foundation, although after Sun Ce's death, there was chaos, but now it has been basically calmed down, whether Sun Quan agrees, I don't know, but Zhou Yu will definitely try his best to promote this matter." ”

"What is Zhou Yu's ability? It's just a yellow-mouthed child. Cao Cao looked at Xun You in surprise, feeling that Xun You was a little too worried.

"The lord should not underestimate this person, if it is about strategy, this person may not be inferior to filial piety, he is more proficient in the art of war, has a strategic mind, and can be called both civil and military." Xun Yu said solemnly.

Cao Cao nodded, but he didn't care too much, when Sun Ce was alive, he was indeed a little jealous, because Sun Ce's skills and military ability at that time were indeed amazing, but now that Sun Ce is dead, there are really few people in the entire Jiangdong who can be looked at by Cao Cao.

However, being able to get such praise from Xun Yu also made Cao Cao a little more interested, and said with a smile: "Is it possible for this person to surrender?" ”

Xun You shook his head when he heard this, Jiangdong is almost the world that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu fought together, and it is difficult, almost impossible to say against Zhou Yu.

Cao Cao thought for a while and said, "Send more people and horses to closely monitor the movement of Jiangdong. ”

"Yes."

"Besides......" Cao Cao thought for a while and said, "Order Gongming to transfer another 20,000 soldiers and horses to support Mengjin and take Luoyang as soon as possible!" ”

In this big battle, Cao Cao didn't want to be in a stalemate any longer, and he must drive Lu Bu back to Guanzhong

……

Xiakou.

The three-day period has arrived, Lu Lingqi, Zhao Yun, and Yang Fu are waiting by the river with more than a dozen hussar guards, watching the sunset, but they don't even see the shadow of a boat, Yang Fu frowned and looked at Zhao Yun: "Gan Ning, is this person credible?" Fu heard that this person used to be a river bandit. ”

The implication is that there are some doubts about whether Gan Ning is sincere in his efforts.

"Mr. Yang doesn't need to worry, I don't think this person is unjust." Zhao Yun shook his head, Gan Ning's ability is not weak, and more importantly, Huang Zu is obviously not good to Gan Ning, but Gan Ning is willing to fight to the death for Huang Zu, this kind of person, Zhao Yun is unwilling to doubt his virtue.

"I hope so." Yang Fu sighed and nodded silently, so far, there is no other way than to believe in Gan Ning.

"Miss, look, there's a ship coming." A hussar guard suddenly pointed to the river and said excitedly.

"Huh?" Lu Lingqi turned her head to look, but the direction of the upstream, there are dozens of black dots on the river surface gradually become clear, the hull is not big, a boat can seat at most one or twenty people, but there are a lot of them, the fleet does not play a flag, but on each boat, there is a brocade sail, under the sunset, it is quite eye-catching.

"Alert!" Lu Lingqi waved her hand, and more than a dozen hussar guards scattered around, not that Lu Lingqi didn't believe in Gan Ning, but at this time, the enemy and I didn't know whether this fleet was Gan Ning, this trip was very important, and Lu Lingqi didn't dare to take it lightly.

But I saw dozens of small boats although not big, but the speed is extremely fast, but the tea kung fu has come to the front, when the first boat, Gan Ning is wearing armor, holding the handle of the knife, and in a moment, the boat has docked under his feet, and one stride came ashore, and arched his hand to the three of them: "There are some changes on the road, Gan Ning is late, and Miss Wang forgives her sins." ”

"What is the sin before the three-day period has passed?" Lu Lingqi said with a smile, looking at the group of water thieves behind Gan Ning, as Lu Bu's daughter, and after being honed on the battlefield, her eyesight is naturally not bad, just a glance, although she has not really fought, but it can also be seen that the team brought by Gan Ning can be regarded as elite, and there is the same fierce aura as Gan Ning.

Zhao Yun smiled and said, "The general came at the right time. With that, there was a whistling sound, and the hussars scattered around quickly gathered.

Looking at these hussar guards, Gan Ning was a little envious, although the Jinfan battalion can be regarded as elite, but it is far less well-trained than the hussar guards, when Lu Lingqi was chaotic in the military camp that day, Gan Ning saw the three hussar battalion soldiers get together, and they crushed a tun of men and horses, this point, if the Jinfan battalion did not preside over it, it would not be able to do it anyway.

As a general, who doesn't want to have such an elite army under his command, but unfortunately, there are not many troops like hussars in the world.

"Miss, this is still the Huangzu Defense Area, please get on the boat quickly and escort Miss to Jiangdong." Gan Ning hugged his fist.

"Beware of deception!" Yang Fu pulled Zhao Yun and signaled Zhao Yun to be careful, Lu Bu has the strongest cavalry and the strongest infantry under his command, but Lu Bu is the only one who has no naval army in his hands, and the generals and elites who can fight are all the same in the water.

"I believe that General Gan is definitely not such a villain, if he wants to harm me, just tell Huang Zu or Cai Mao our location directly, why do you need to come in person?" Lu Lingqi shook her head and smiled, glanced at Zhao Yun, and stepped on the boat together.

"Miss Xie trusts." Gan Ning clenched his fists, looked at Yang Fu and said, "Please rest assured that although Gan has been a water thief, he has never lacked morality." ”

Yang Fu laughed dryly, and also got on the boat, and dozens of boats quickly left the shore under the command of Gan Ning, and went down the river all the way down the river with the direction of the wind.

The humid air came to her face, Lu Lingqi looked at the scenery on both sides of the strait receding like a tide, her face was suddenly difficult to see, and she felt a wave of nausea in her abdomen, she had also been on a boat at the beginning, but she didn't feel this way at the time, but for some reason, sailing on the choppy river at this moment, Lu Lingqi suddenly felt a sense of dizziness.

"Husband, how do I feel, a little dizzy?" Lu Lingqi leaned against Zhao Yun's side, shook her head, and endured the discomfort.

When Zhao Yun heard this, he looked at the others, in addition to himself, Yang Fu and several hussar guards also had similar symptoms, and couldn't help frowning and looking at Gan Ning.

"General rest assured, the average northerner will be a little uncomfortable when sailing on this river for the first time, and the waves and undercurrents on this big river are not comparable to those small rivers in the Central Plains." A Jinfan thief looked at Zhao Yun's expression and explained with a smile.

Hearing this, Zhao Yun looked around, it was true, he was also a little uncomfortable, but it was not as strong as Lu Lingqi. (To be continued.) )
