Chapter 12 The Southern Expedition Begins to Develop

Chen Liu, in Xin Xianying's mansion.

The sound of the piano flows, like a high mountain, like a sea.

Melodious and beautiful, deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

And the person who stroked the qin was Cao Xuan.

This kind of piano sound, even if it is a talented woman, Xin Xianying is moved.

However, all the forces under Cao Cao have exploded at this moment.

"Xin Xianying, the daughter of Xinbi, is actually going to marry the fourth son Cao Xuan!"

"It is rumored that the fourth prince is stupid, not as good as the eldest son Cao Pi in terms of talent, and not as good as the second son Cao Zhang in terms of martial arts, but why did the prime minister give Xin Xianying to the fourth son?"

"The prime minister's meaning is difficult to figure out, I'm afraid that the fourth prince is not unbearable on the surface."

"It seems that the fight between the four sons is going to intensify a lot."

……

Cao Cao's various forces also began to figure out Cao Cao's intentions.

After all, they have the impression that Cao Xuan is just a stupid boy.

was not liked by Cao Cao, but now he was married by Cao Cao, which is really a bit weird.

At present, Cao Cao is riddled with diseases, and forces everywhere are also thinking about how to deal with the future.

It's only a matter of time before you stand in line, but it depends on whose team you stand on.

……

Chen Liu, Cao Pi Fuzhong.

Cao Pi was placed under house arrest by Cao Cao, and Cao Zhi and Mrs. Bian were very worried.

But this is what Cao Cao meant, and how dare they disobey.

Inside the house, Cao Pi sometimes cried sadly, sometimes shouted angrily, and even occasionally self-harmed.

Where is the appearance of everyone's son.

"Where am I weaker than the fourth brother, why did my father give Xin Xianying to the fourth brother!"

"Why, how can he, a stupid boy, get the person I like!"

"Why!"

"I'm not convinced, I'm not convinced!"

"Fourth brother, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you!"

……

Listening to the shouts in the house, although Cao Zhi and Mrs. Bian were panicked, they did not dare to act rashly.

"Mother, how should this be!"

Cao Zhi had entered the house to dissuade Cao Pi before, but he couldn't listen to it.

Mrs. Bian also shook her head helplessly.

"This damn Cao Xuan, I don't know where to get the king's appreciation, the king actually married Xin Xianying to him!"

"The culprit is this Cao Xuan!"

"Zhi'er, you go to your second brother's mansion and discuss with him how to deal with this matter!"

"If this Cao Xuan is not removed, it will always be a scourge."

"Your eldest brother's situation, it must be that Cao Xuan is dead, I'm afraid it will be enough to heal!"

Cao Zhi nodded, and immediately rushed out of the door and went to Cao Zhang's mansion.

However, at this time, Cao Cao's mansion.

Looking at the scenery outside the window, Cao Cao frowned slightly.

"Xu Chu, how is Chong'er's situation?"

Xu Chu shook his head.

"The situation of the fifth prince is not optimistic, and the imperial doctor seems to be helpless now."

Hearing this, Cao Cao's face became even more embarrassed.

"Alas, now the southern expedition is imminent, but Chong'er's situation may not survive this year."

"Xu Chu, pass on my order, let Zhang Liao, Lejin, and Yu Ban garrison south of Xuchang, and at the same time start training the naval army in Yecheng Xuanwu Pool."

"Then take Ma Teng and them to Yecheng, as for that Kong Rong, at the beginning of June, kill it!"

Xu Chu nodded and bowed.

"Command!"

……

On the same day, a large-scale troop movement began.

A large number of sailors sailed into Yecheng, and Zhang Liao and other generals also entered Xuchang.

And Kong Rong in Beihai was captured by Xu Chu's men and brought back to Chen Liu.

Cao Xuan naturally noticed such a big move.

After playing the tune for Xin Xianying, Cao Xuan took him to the street of Chen Liu.

There was also a little maid accompanying him, but this maid was Xin Xianying's maid.

"Miss, Childe, there's a letter from your lordship."

A pigeon fell on the maid's arm, and a letter was on the pigeon's leg.

After receiving the letter, Xin Xianying immediately opened it.

Seeing the content, she frowned slightly.

However, at this time, Cao Xuan took two bags of osmanthus cake from the food stall and handed them to Xin Xianying.

"I guess it should be my father's preparation for the southern expedition."

"Yecheng began to train the navy, and Zhang Liao and other generals stayed in Xuchang, right."

"And that Kong Rong of the North Sea, damn it."

This remark surprised both Xin Xianying and the maid.

"How do you know?"

Cao Xuan smiled.

How else can you know.

The four emperors are making up lessons in your head, and it's strange if you don't know.

"The southern expedition is about to begin, and the generals in my father's hands will naturally go up one by one."

"You don't have to think about it at all."

"Eh, it's a pity that Guo Jia died young, otherwise my father's road to the south would have been more open."

Guo Jia.

Xin Xianying, such a talented person, naturally knows.

"I didn't expect Childe to care about these things."

Cao Xuan nodded.

"In such troubled times, even if you are born in a great family, you need to care about the situation, otherwise if something goes wrong accidentally, you will die."

Xin Xianying nodded.

"That son thinks Guo Jia and Zhuge Liang, who is better?"

Cao Xuan shook his head.

"Both of them are great talents, not comparable."

"But this Sima Yi should have appeared."

Xin Xianying was quite puzzled when she heard Sima Yi's three words.

"Who is this Sima Yi?"

Cao Xuan smiled.

"Sima Yi is also a great talent, if he participates in this southern expedition, it will be more smooth sailing."

"Forget it, don't think about these things today, shopping is the right thing."

If Sima Yi participated in the Battle of Chibi, according to what Li Shimin and Zhu Yuanzhang said, then his father would definitely be able to achieve a big victory.

It's a pity that Sima Yi was still a small civil official at this time, and he was not enough to be a staff officer for Cao Cao.

But if Cao Xuan wants to achieve success in the southern expedition, I am afraid that he will have to find this Sima Yi.

Or, the phoenix chick that means the dragon and the phoenix chick is also the best choice.

……

At this time, in the city of Xuzhou.

Zhuge Liang also observed Cao Cao's movements.

In the lobby, everyone is divided.

Liu Bei sat in the first place.

"Strategist, I'm afraid this Cao Cao is indeed going to march south, but this battle doesn't seem to have much to do with us, should we get involved?"

Zhuge Liang fanned the fan and smiled.

"Unite with Sun Quan, Cao Cao is now our biggest enemy, and after uniting with Sun Quan and defeating Cao Cao, the situation will be completely separated."

Liu Bei nodded.

"In that case, when are we going to leave for Jianye?"

Zhuge Liang shook his head.

"This matter can't be rushed, the alliance with Sun Quan has also gone to me in person, but in this way, the lord lacks a military advisor in his hands."

Hearing this, Liu Bei frowned slightly.

"What does the military advisor mean?"

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly.

"The world is big, and it is a troubled time, there are many talents, the minister recommends one person to the lord, and I will bring him tomorrow."

"After that, I will go to Eastern Wu with Zilong, form an alliance with them, and deal with Cao Cao together!"
