The sixth year of Jian'an is coming to the end of the year in a blink of an eye, the date of the battle between Lu Lingqi and Cao Pi is coming soon, Cao Pi's swordsmanship is becoming more and more exquisite, he feels that Lu Lingqi is not his opponent, but even if he defeats the other party, he plans to take a concubine immediately, because from the perspective of etiquette, he must marry a wife before he can take a concubine. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

But something unexpected happened to Cao Pi, Lu Lingqi actually left Cao Pi's mansion a year ago, left a letter, and went west to Chang'an alone, the book said that she was going to take refuge in Chang'an to lead the Guanzhong Sili Captain Zhong Xuan, because Guanzhong not only had the Southern Xiongnu rebellion, but also the warlords around the country also dominated one side, and even the people who founded the country, plus the Qiang people also joined in the fun in Guanzhong, which was the real place of the four wars, where he could better sharpen his martial arts.

As for the two-year contract with Cao Pi, Lu Lingqi said that since Cao Pi has not married a wife now, there is no point in fighting, so it is better to postpone it and wait for him to come back from Guanzhong. Cao Pi has nothing to say about this, although Lu Lingqi has a good figure and is very wild~~ sexual, but it is by no means a good match, and it is inevitable that her wives and concubines will be in groups in the future, and she can't choose by herself at all, one more or one less is not a problem. It's just that he is a little worried about the safety of this tiger girl, after all, Lu Bu is such a daughter, and nominally this daughter is handed over to Cao Pi, if it is folded in his hand, it will be very embarrassing.

Cao Pi asked Gao Shun about this, and Gao Shun said with a smile: "Zhong Yuanchang and Wen Hou are old acquaintances when they are serving in Luoyang or Chang'an, and they will definitely protect the thoughtfulness of the son-in-law." Hearing Gao Shun's answer, Cao Pi put the matter down.

Jian'an seven years came unconsciously, this year Cao Cao did not rush north to crusade against Yuan Shao, but chose to recuperate, because he swallowed Yuan Shao's hundreds of thousands of people and countless burdens and Zhang He, Gao Ran and other famous generals of the Yuan army, it really needs to be relieved, after all, the stronghold of crossing the river has been obtained, if you want to cross the river, that is to say, you can go, grasp the initiative, and naturally stabilize the internal affairs.

In this case, Cao Pi's work is still focused on the expansion of the tuntian, the further south, the water is also sufficient, especially in Runan County and Zhang Xiu's hometown Nanyang County, the number of tuntian opened up is very large, so that Cao Pi is worried that his two hundred horses will be blessed everywhere, I am afraid that he will also have to die of exhaustion, fortunately now the high bridge saddle, stirrups, and horseshoes are matched, not only people suffer less, but horses also suffer less, otherwise running around like this, the speed of the horse's hooves wear and tear is quite scary.

With the help of Ren Xian and Chen Sanlang, as well as Ren Jun's full cooperation, Cao Pi almost didn't have to go out of Xudu, but occasionally went to places with serious floods to see if there was a way to drain and control the water.

It wasn't until May that the peaceful days were broken, and an explosive news came: Yuan Shao died of illness, and his youngest son Yuan Shang led most of his troops, and Yuan Shao's eldest son Yuan Tan went north to Liyang in the north of the river and stationed, very close to Cao Cao's stronghold of crossing the river, with a posture of letting the eldest brother block the gun.

Faced with such a situation, Cao Cao chose not to move, and in the second half of May, another piece of military information arrived: the Southern Xiongnu entered Kou Pingyang with Huchuquan, looking like they were going to rebel.

The Southern Xiongnu and the Han Dynasty are actually subordinate, the union of the two countries is to resist the powerful Northern Xiongnu, to the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Han Dynasty weakened, the Southern Xiongnu power soared, it often entered the Han Dynasty, the Eastern Han Dynasty celebrity Cai Yong's daughter Cai Wenji was taken away by the Southern Xiongnu in the years after the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

Pingyang is very close to Chang'an, and the military information of the rebellion of the Southern Xiongnu is transmitted by Zhong Xuan, the captain of Si Li, in the military situation, Zhong Xuan shows his contempt for the Southern Xiongnu and his understanding of the situation in Guanzhong, indicating that although Guanzhong is chaotic now, he can take advantage of the situation to let the warlords of the division to attack the Southern Xiongnu, and persuade Cao Cao to have the right to go through Yuan Shao's territory, and not to look west for the time being. After getting the news, Cao Cao immediately replied and asked Zhong Xuan to act cheaply.

Cao Cao was very calm, but Gao Shun couldn't sit still, Lu Lingqi was in Guanzhong, and now the Southern Huns were reversed, and her character would inevitably go into battle, for Lu Bu, Gao Shun still had the feelings of master and servant that was difficult to give up, so he asked Cao Pi for his life and wanted to go to Guanzhong.

Two months after Gao Shun left, there was good news in Guanzhong, the Southern Xiongnu was defeated by Zhong Xuan with a group of Guanzhong warlords composed of a coalition army, Shan Yu Hu Chuquan surrendered, Cao Cao passed the book to Zhong Xuan, divided the Southern Xiongnu into five departments, each set up a nobleman as the commander, sent to send Sima, and incorporated the lower tribes of the Southern Xiongnu into the Han nationality, since then the Southern Xiongnu who originally had the image of Zhongxing was once again cut into pieces.

This battle Zhong Xuan and no doubt is the first merit, but in addition to Zhong Xuan, there is still one person who has been praised by Cao Cao, that is, one of the three assistants of the local people from Guanzhong, Jing Zhaoyi, the xf county commander Zhang Ji Zhang Derong, in the battle to exterminate the Southern Xiongnu, Yuan Shang's Bingzhou Assassin Shi Gaogan and Hedong County Taishou Guo Yuan sent troops to support the Southern Xiongnu.

Zhang Ji was instructed to persuade Ma Teng, Han Sui, the two warlords with the most power near Guanzhong, to send troops to intercept them, Zhang Ji went alone, explained the benefits to the two, and then Ma Teng sent his son Ma Chao with 10,000 people to block Gao Gan and Guo Yuan, and then Ma Chao broke Gao Gan and Guo Yuan's army, and the general Pang De beheaded Guo Yuan.

Cao Cao was quite happy when he saw Zhang Ji's deeds, and laughed and said that there are capable people in the guan! And Cao Pi also remembered the name Zhang Ji.

In the autumn of the seventh year of Jian'an, Cao Jun had a bumper harvest, Cao Pi received a military order from Shang Shutai at this time, ordering him and Ren Jun to raise grain and grass, and the Northern Expedition in the coming year, this time Cao Cao wanted to raise the eight-layer grain storage of Juntun and Mintun and all the harvests this year, which was enough for an army of 300,000 to eat for two years, and raising such a huge amount of grain and grass can only prove one thing, Cao Cao's Northern Expedition is going to fight a protracted war, and he will not stop if he does not completely eat Yuan Shao's territory.

Cao Pi and Ren Jun are different, in addition to raising grain and grass, Cao Pi also has to shoulder the responsibility of transporting grain for Cao's army, the so-called three armies have not moved, grain and grass go first, let Cao Pi shoulder the Northern Expedition to supervise the transportation of grain and grass, which means that Cao Pi has to earn military merit for Cao Pi, so Cao Pi did not dare to slack off after receiving the military order, and immediately began to prepare for the Northern Expedition in the coming year.
