Cao Cao's voice was full of emotion, but it was a pity that Cao Zhang was not afraid, and he was about to collide with his neck.

At this moment, a teenager ran in from outside the house, grabbed Cao Zhang's arm and was about to pull him out of the house, "Huang Xu'er, how can you be so rude to your father?" What do you see you have made your father angry with? I know you feel sorry for your second sister, isn't your father distressed? But the affairs of this country have to be mixed with the personal feelings of children? Father also had to do it, why don't you be considerate? ”

The young man is Cao Cao's eldest son, Cao Pi.

Cao Zhang saw that Cao Cao's face was pale, and when the words came to his mouth, he finally swallowed them back.

Yes, this is a big affair of the family and the country, how can it be mixed with the personal affairs of the children? What my father did was the Han family...... However, isn't what my brother-in-law did for the sake of this Han family? Cao Zhang always felt that Cao Cao could join forces with Liu Chuang to revive the Han Dynasty together. If this is the case, my sister will not have to be caught in the middle and feel uncomfortable, and his family will be happy and worry-free. But, is it possible?

Cao Cao showed a tired look, "Huang Xu'er go down, Erlang will stay for the time being." ”

Cao Zhang opened his mouth and silently exited the study.

And Cao Pi stood with his hands down, standing respectfully in front of Cao Cao.

For this second son, Cao Cao attaches great importance to it. Especially after Cao Ang's death, Cao Cao devoted all his efforts to Cao Pi...... Don't look at Cao Pi's age, but his scheming is extremely deep. Cao Cao was sure that when Cao Zhang came in just now, Cao Pi was already watching from outside the house, and even the conversation between him and Cao Zhang, Cao Pi listened to it. However, it wasn't until he got angry that Cao Pi ran out to stop him. This made Cao Cao both relieved and a little worried...... Cao Pi's scheming is not bad, but he is cold to his brothers.

But Cao Cao still believes that Cao Pi has not done anything wrong.

He was silent for a moment, and said softly: "Erlang, you prepare, this time you will go with me to Hebei." ”

Cao Pi was overjoyed, but his face didn't show it.

Cao Cao is going to promote him and let him get military merits! Cao Pi knows his situation very well, don't look at him now as Cao Cao's eldest son, but his brothers are not idle people. Cao Zhang, with Liu Chuang in Youzhou for two years of experience. He was originally a brave man, and after experiencing the war in northern Cyprus, his force became stronger. Liu Chuang even taught the first five changes of the dragon and snake and Cao Zhang, which made Cao Zhang's force even more powerful. Although he is young, he has already shown his ability to be brave, and he is quite loved by Cao Cao.

The third brother Cao Zhi doesn't like martial arts, but he is brilliant.

Although Cao Zhi is only ten years old, he has already shown extraordinary intelligence, has never forgotten, and his ability to export chapters is also very popular with Cao Cao.

In addition, there is also a fourth brother Cao Chong.

Especially this Cao Chong, who is from the same half-brother as Cao Pi.

His mother, Mrs. Huan, is a member of the Langya Wang family, and she is a hundred times more noble than Mrs. Bian. And Cao Chong is even more intelligent, and he has been familiar with Mongolian books since he was six years old. Cao Cao's love for Cao Chong even exceeded that of the three Cao Pi brothers. On weekdays, he always takes Cao Chong with him and loves him very much.

Cao Pi is self-aware.

He is immortal, Cao Zhi is amazing, and his martial arts are not as brave as Cao Zhang.

If you want to inherit Cao Cao's career in the future, you need more merits and qualifications.

At the age of eight, he accompanied Cao Cao to fight Wancheng. After Cao Cao's defeat, he fled from the battlefield alone and returned to Xudu.

Among the sons of the Cao family, Cao Pi still has some prestige.

But in comparison, his advantage is not obvious, so it is even more stupid to fly first......

"The child obeys his father's command."

Cao Pi bowed down and was about to exit the room.

However, when he was about to withdraw, he overheard Cao Cao speak: "After Erlang goes back, read more "Historical Records = Five Emperors", and there will be a lot of gains." ”

Cao Pi was stunned and hurriedly agreed.

It's just that he doesn't understand what Cao Cao meant by letting him read.

Therefore, after he returned to the house, he ordered someone to take the historical records, and after turning to the Five Emperors' Benji, he read it carefully with the light on. When he read the passage of 'Lifting Eight Yuan, Spreading the Five Teachings in the Quartet, Father, Mother, Brothers, Friends, and Brothers, Gongzi and Filial Piety, Inside and Outside', suddenly the spirit of the spirit shuddered, and he was drenched in a cold sweat. He immediately understood what Cao Cao meant, which was clearly warning himself.

How could Cao Pi's little abacus be hidden from Cao Cao's eyes?

Cao Cao asked him to come back and read the Five Emperors Benji, to put it bluntly, let him read four words, brother and brother Gong.

If the brother is not a friend, the brother will be disrespectful, and it will be difficult to be a ...... inside and outside

Don't use your little tricks again, as a brother, you must have the bearing of a brother, don't make some little cleverness there!

Cao Pi put down the volume of the Five Emperors, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, sat on the couch chair, and let out a sigh after a long time.

There is joy, fear, shame, and a hint of indescribable and unclear meaning.

rejoice, because Cao Cao has been established and will establish Cao Pi. The lessons of the Yuan family also made Cao Cao dare not repeat the mistakes of the past. I think that Yuan Shao laid down a huge country, but because of the succession, the brothers closed the wall and killed each other. As soon as he died, the great inheritance quickly fell. Cao Cao is equivalent to suing Cao Pi, Hugh wants to be smart, no one can take it away from you, don't keep calculating all day long.

This time, Cao Cao took Cao Pi to Hebei, which was to give Cao Pi a reassurance.

Cao Pi is naturally happy, but in addition to joy, there are many different feelings mixed in.

Since Cao Ang's death, Cao Pi's brotherhood is indeed much indifferent. Beware of this and calculate that all day long, even he feels hard.

Get up and walk out of the study.

In the twilight autumn night, with a hint of coolness, it made him shiver.

But that's fine, although I was scared, I finally determined something......

The conquest of Hebei is not a trivial matter.

Cao Cao wanted to use troops in an all-round way, so he naturally needed to make proper arrangements.

Xun Yu gave him advice wholeheartedly, which did save Cao Cao a lot of things.

It's just that things are impermanent.

Just as Cao Cao was preparing to raise troops against Handan, a news suddenly came from Hebei, which surprised Cao Cao......

In the middle of September of the seventh year of Jian'an, Gan Ning, the admiral of the Youzhou Navy, suddenly came from the Sanhan class.

Over the past two years, Ganning's naval strength has been growing. In particular, after he cooperated with Yan Rou and participated in the war on the Korean Peninsula, he grew even more rapidly. The Samhan tribe had been defeated by Yan Rou's attack, and Ganning's navy continued to raid and plunder along the coast of the Korean Peninsula, which greatly damaged Samhan's vitality. This time, Gan Ning was ordered to return to his teacher, and he was even more ambitious...... He can also be regarded as Liu Chuang's old Qingzhou department, but in the battle of Liaodong, the battle of Youzhou, and the battle of Saibei, he has never made an inch. This also made Gan Ning feel a little uncomfortable all the time. watched Huang Zhong and others soar, but he was never able to share Liu Chuang's worries.

Although the navy has its own system, Gan Ning can be regarded as independent...... But compared to the achievements established by Huang Zhong and Wei Yan, Gan Ning always felt ashamed.

This time, Liu Chuang ordered Gan Ning to lead his troops to land in Bohai County, and Gan Ning was naturally holding back his anger.

He personally led 80 Harrier-type keel sea ships, carrying 20,000 soldiers, and landed at the mouth of Zhangshui, and then waved his troops south to occupy Zhangwu.

Yuan Tan has always been on guard against Liu Chuang.

But this time, he never expected that the Han army would actually attack from the sea.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, people were not familiar with the coastal defense line, so Yuan's army was almost defenseless. After Gan Ning occupied Zhangwu, he did not stop and attacked quickly. He personally led an army of 3,000 and traveled 180 miles at night, like a divine soldier descending from the sky and appearing under Fuyang City.

The Fuyang guards didn't even figure out what was going on, and Gan Ning led his troops to conquer Fuyang in one fell swoop.

At the same time, Guo Yuan, who was stationed in Chengping between the rivers, led his troops to force the crossing of Zhangshui, and the troops were in the Bohai County and Nanpi City......

Kong Xiu, the Bohai guard, hurriedly dispatched reinforcements from Gaocheng and Qiantong, gathered 8,000 soldiers and horses, and galloped to aid Nanpi.

It's just that on the way to Nanpi, these 8,000 reinforcements suddenly encountered Gan Ning's troops who rushed from Fuyang. In a melee between the two sides in Yanshan, Gan Ning led 800 soldiers to forcibly charge into battle, killed the main general of the reinforcements in the chaos, and broke the 8,000 Yuan army with 3,000 soldiers and horses, which shook the entire Bohai Sea. After that, Zhou Cang led a large army to follow, captured Gaocheng County, and made South Piton an isolated city.

Bohai County, under the jurisdiction of eight counties.

In just ten days, four counties were lost.

Kong Xiu saw that the general trend had gone, and he was unwilling to continue to resist, so he ordered Kaicheng to surrender, and Guo Yuan immediately occupied Nanpi.

Guo Yuan is also a very talented person, and his temperament is quite arrogant. Historically, he was the number one cadre under Gao Gan, and he almost captured Hedong.

It's just that since Liu Chuang arrived in Youzhou, Guo Yuan has really seen too many capable people.

He is still proud in his bones, but he is much more peaceful. After he entered the city, he treated Kong Xiu with great respect and treated him like a guest. Kong Xiu is not blind, how can he not see that the Yuan family is at the end of his rope? He immediately offered advice to Guo Yuan, expressing his willingness to persuade the other three counties under Bohai's rule.

Guo Yuan immediately sent someone to contact Gan Ning, and at the same time sent Kong Xiu.

On the third day after the occupation of Nanpi, the Yuan army of Dongguang County laid down their weapons and surrendered out of the city.

Immediately afterwards, the two counties of Overlap and Yangxin also announced the surrender of Liu Chuang. A huge Bohai County, it only took eighteen days to send troops from Ganning to the eight counties.

By the time Cao Cao got the news, the entire Bohai County had already fallen into Liu Chuang's hands.

This also surprised Cao Cao, and he was a little flustered for a while.

"Who is this Gan Ning? Under the tent, how can there be many warriors? ”

It's no wonder that Cao Cao doesn't know about Gan Ning, mainly because Gan Ning has always been too low-key.

Although he presided over the navy, he spent many years fighting abroad. The battle in the north is mostly based on foot cavalry, who would have thought that Liu Chuang still has an elite overseas? In particular, the road from the Korean Peninsula to the Central Plains was blocked by Liu Chuang, and Gan Ning was well-known in Sanhan, but in the Central Plains, he was always unknown. After three years of accumulation, it finally became a blockbuster...... Only this time, Gan Ning's assault was too fierce.

Fortunately, it was Cao Cao, if it was a different person, it would be impossible to react at all.

After the initial panic, Cao Cao calmed down......

Liu Chuang's seizure of the Bohai Sea did disrupt Cao Cao's original plan. The loss of the Bohai Sea means that Liu Chuang's soldiers and horses can drive straight into Qingzhou.

And that mysterious naval army can attack and disturb the coastal cities of Qingzhou along the way, and the entire Qingzhou will become Liu Chuang's target.

In this case, you want to be prepared......

Cao Cao took a deep breath and couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
