Just when Li Dao and Guo Yan were busy recruiting and training troops in Chang'an, Cao Cao, who was in the east of Chang'an, was also very busy. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

On the same day, after Cao Cao and Cao De said goodbye, Cao Cao took 15,000 soldiers to the north outside Luoyang City, and then Cao Cao sent Le Jin with 5,000 soldiers to rush to the Tiger Prison Pass and occupy the east gate of Luoyang. Later, Cao Cao asked Cao Hong to take 5,000 men to the west and stationed in front of Hangu Pass to monitor the Dong army defending Hangu Pass. (That is, Li Dao Guo Yan has not betrayed Dong Zhuo.) In the end, Cao Cao asked Xiahoudun to lead 2,000 men to start cleaning up the almost ruined city of Luoyang, while Cao Cao himself led an army of 3,000 with Li Dian to begin sweeping up the bandits that had arisen these days.

One day, when Cao Cao led his army to chase a group of bandits, he came to a very ordinary small village. However, this small village is a place of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

That day, when the gang who was chased by Cao Cao had no way to go to heaven and no door to the ground, they happened to see this small village. Then the gang of bandits planned to run into this small village and hide among the ordinary villagers to avoid Cao Cao's pursuit.

However, what people didn't expect was that before this group of 100 bandits ran into the entrance of the village, a fierce man with a double halberd appeared.

It was this macho man, one man with two halberds, who rushed into the group of bandits without any nonsense, and when Cao Cao dared to come with a large army, one hundred and ten bandits had already been killed by the macho man and more than thirty.

Cao Cao was taken aback, and hurriedly surrounded the bandits instead of ordinary people, and then Cao Cao waved his hand, and one hundred and ten soldiers carried weapons into the bandit group, and Li Dian saved the macho man who was exhausted and injured in many places.

This battle didn't need Cao Cao to care about at all, so Cao Cao's attention was all on the macho man, and Cao Cao hurriedly found Lang Zhong in the army and treated the macho man. When he woke up, the macho man didn't care about himself and shouted, "Mr. Gongda, run for your life!" ”

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and the macho man was also stunned for a moment after shouting, and then the macho man figured out his situation, and said angrily: "Dian Wei thanked the general for saving his life." ”

Cao Cao nodded, "The strong man is good at force, I am Cao Cao, the captain of the Han Dynasty, can I be loyal to me and serve the country?" ”

Dian Wei shook his head, "I have a life lawsuit, and now it has fallen into the hands of Tingwei, it can be regarded as my fate is not good, but it is a pity that these innocent villagers have been affected." ”

Cao Cao laughed, "I don't know what the murder of the strong man is." I only know that if it weren't for the strong man, I am afraid that this bandit would be a disaster in the village again. Dare to ask you what you are guilty of. ”

When Dian Wei heard this, he smiled happily, and after thanking Cao Cao, Cao Cao took the wine bag on his war horse and drank and chatted with Dian Wei, and after chatting Cao Cao, he knew that there were actually two cattle in the village, Cheng Yu and Xun You!

Cao Cao hurriedly asked Dian Wei to lead the way and find the two.

It turned out that Cheng Yu and Xun You had already been small officials in the court, but a business trip out of the city allowed the two of them to escape the collective kidnapping of Li Dao and Guo Yan. On the way, the two of them met Dian Wei, who had killed a bully and was running away. So, under the protection of Dian Wei, the three of them came to this small village and hid.

After that, Cao Cao relied on his three-inch incorruptible tongue and his own letter to call on the righteous to crusade against Dong Zhuo, which successfully moved the two of them.

However, Xun You still asked: "The general now has troops to occupy Luoyang, what is his intention?" ”

Cao Cao immediately said without thinking: "Rest Luoyang, go through the horses, go west to Chang'an, and return to Luoyang!" ”

Cao Cao knew the thoughts of these so-called celebrities, so Cao Cao and Cao De's plans were the same. If you see it, you won't be allowed to run away, so I'll lie to you first.

Cao Cao suddenly got Cheng Yu and Xun You to join the two big bulls, and Cao Cao accepted the proposal of the two, on the one hand, to rectify the security around Luoyang, and on the other hand, to start conscription.

Moreover, Cao Cao also followed Cao De's example and divided the newly recruited soldiers into three parts, one part to reclaim the wasteland, so as to sow the seeds of hope when the spring flowers bloom next year; One part is to rest Luoyang, dig canals, build bridges and other civilian official facilities; The last part underwent rigorous training and became the main combat unit.

Of course, Cao Cao learned the essence of Cao De's policy. That is, the three parts of the people take turns to carry out various tasks. In this way, everything can be done together without delay.

Hongnong County and the small half of Henan Yin, under the governance of Cao Cao, are rapidly striding towards the prosperity of the past.

In the south of busy Cao Cao and Luoyang is Yuan Shu's lair. At the beginning, after Yuan Shao killed Kong Ling and Liu Dai, he blamed Han Fu, but Han Fu at that time had already gone away, and soon after, Han Fu was also sent to the underworld by Yuan Shu's brother Yuan Shao to report.

But Yuan Shu didn't know, so Yuan Shu led Kong Ling, Liu Dai and his more than 40,000 troops through Yingchuan and went directly to Yuzhou.

As mentioned earlier, Yuan Shu's lair is in Nanyang, although Yuan Shao took Kong Ling and Liu Dai together, but Yang Hong still suggested that Yuan Shu should not be greedy or occupy Yuzhou first.

Yuzhou and Yanzhou are connected to Nanyang, but Yuzhou, in order to facilitate the movement of the army, so it is much more advantageous to occupy Yuzhou than Yanzhou.

Besides, this time to attack Dong Zhuo, although Cao De sent the most troops, Cao De used a full 86,000 army. The second is Yanzhou, Kong Ling, Qiao Mao, Yuan Yi, Bao Xin and others brought out more than 40,000 troops from Yanzhou. The current Yanzhou has basically been paid by them, so occupying Yuzhou is developing faster and more promising than Yanzhou.

And Yuan Shu did not return to Nanyang, but directly led the army from Yingchuan to the south to Yuzhou, so Cao Decai returned to Hanzhong from Nanyang without any hindrance.

And on Yuan Shu's side is Sun Jian, who was the first to set foot on the way home. Now Sun Jian is a little confused.

Because Sun Jian and his two sons, a fifteen-year-old Sun Ce and an eight-year-old Sun Quan, were glaring at the heirloom jade seal.

There is a regret for this crusade against Dong Zhuo Cao De, that is, he did not see Sun Ce, who is known as the little overlord.

Because, Sun Jian didn't bring Sun Ce to the alliance at all, but left Sun Ce at home.

However, fortunately, Cao De did not see Sun Ce. Sun Ce is fifteen years old, Ma Chao is also fifteen years old, in Cao De's eyes, Ma Chao is already a tiger with baring teeth, but fifteen-year-old Sun Ce's fangs can easily bite off the neck of the prey. Therefore, Cao De should be very glad that he didn't see Sun Ce. Otherwise, Cao De would definitely wonder what Sun Jian's bloodline was made of.

Now Sun Jian is a little confused. The jade seal of the country is already in his hands, so what should he do next. Conquering the city is a must, but where to attack is the point.

The world knows the importance of Jingzhou, but Sun Jian knows that Jingzhou is a place of a hundred battles, and Cao De is on the west side of Jingzhou, and Yuan Shu is on the north side, both of which are strong enemies. Sun Jian was worried that after he spent a lot of effort to take Jingzhou, he would not be attacked by the two.

The other way is to attack Yangzhou.

Yangzhou has a large number of Nanyue people here since ancient times, and although it is not very far from the Central Plains, the prosperity of Yangzhou and the Central Plains cannot be compared.

Just when Sun Jian couldn't make up his mind, he suddenly overheard his eldest son and a friend he had just met a few days discussing the general trend of the world. Sun Jian involuntarily listened quietly on the side for a while, and then Sun Jian strode away. A day later, Sun Jian issued a military order to attack Yangzhou with the whole army! Moreover, Sun Jian also specially asked Sun Ce to bring his friend of the same age.

However, when Sun Jian overheard Sun Ce's conversation with his friends and left, Sun Jian's back was clearly reflected in the young and wise pupils.

Moreover, Sun Jian doesn't know his name yet, but he will soon be famous all over the world, because his name is Zhou Yu! (To be continued.) )
