Since the car had been in the wilderness for several years, the car's shell was already rusty. Chen Chu looked at his car with some excitement, stroking the rust on the shell, and couldn't help but feel distressed and guilty in his heart. This is an old guy who has been with him for a few years, but now he has become such a decadent appearance.

Chen Chu stretched out his hand to open the car door, and then sat in skillfully. Suddenly, a familiar feeling came over me.

Chen Chu couldn't help but sigh again, and then looked towards the keyhole, only to see that the familiar key was still there.

So Chen Chu tried to make a fire, and unexpectedly, the car made a screeching sound, which was the sound of the engine, and Chen Chu was no stranger to this, which showed that the engine had started normally. However, perhaps it was because Chen Chu hadn't heard this voice for too long, and at this moment, Chen Chu felt that the sound of the engine was particularly harsh.

Dian Wei and the guards who were surrounding the car suddenly heard the strange car in front of them make a noise, and they couldn't help but show a look of vigilance again, and Dian Wei strode forward, ready to open the car door and rescue Chen Chu.

Chen Chu seemed to have expected their reaction. Almost at the same time as Dian Wei's fan-like big hand slammed into the car door, Chen Chu's voice came out of the car: "Don't be nervous, there is no problem!" Get out of the way, all of you! When

the people heard this, they knew that the lord was all right, so they spread out on both sides as the lord commanded.

As soon as the crowd took a few steps back, they saw a scene that surprised them. I saw that strange car actually moved! There was no animal to drag it, and it actually moved on its own!?

Dian Wei and the guards looked at the scene in front of them in disbelief, and everyone's eyes couldn't stop glaring. They really couldn't imagine how the cart could move itself without animals to tow it.

But what surprised them even more was yet to come. The strange car not only moved, but also got faster and faster, and finally sped up on the wide, flat grass at the bottom of the valley. It was much faster than a horse-drawn carriage, and very nimble, like a living thing.

Looking at the scene of high-speed galloping in front of them, Dian Wei and the Tiewei stared and opened their mouths, looking dumbfounded. Their minds were blank at this time, and everything in front of them was beyond their imagination.

Chen Chu only drove for two or three minutes and then stopped, not that he didn't want to continue, but the fuel gauge showed that the fuel tank was running out, and Chen Chu didn't want to toss the oil now, which would affect his future plans.

When Chen Chu got out of the car, Dian Wei and the guards immediately knelt down. Everyone's expressions were very excited and fanatical, and when Chen Chu walked in front of them, everyone bowed together: "Lord!

Chen Chu understood why everyone was like this. They see things that they can't explain, so they subconsciously deify them. Now, everyone must have thought that they had descended to earth as some kind of immortal.

Chen Chu smiled in his heart, and did not explain it, because this was the effect he wanted, not to mention, he was afraid that he would not be able to explain it clearly.

Chen Chu asked everyone to get up, and then said to Dian Wei: "Evil come, after going back later, select fifty iron guards to come here and build a house to store this magic car." The fifty guards remained, tasked with protecting the chariot. "

Yes, my lord." Dian Wei replied unusually respectfully, and Dian Wei looked at Chen Chu's expression a little different from the past. In the past, Dian Wei only regarded Chen Chu as his lord to serve and worship as a great hero, but now, in this loyalty and worship, there is more piety similar to religion. At this time, in Dian Wei's heart, Chen Chu is not only a great hero in the world, but also an immortal stream from the sky. And the thoughts in the hearts of the guards are the same as those of Dian Wei.

Chen Chu solemnly confessed again: "This magic car is a heavenly thing, and the things here should not be known by the world for the time being. Whatever you see today, you are not allowed to speak! Do you understand? "

Yes, my lord." And they all agreed together.

Coming out of the valley, Chen Chu and his party went straight back to the camp.

Before the sun set, Chen Chu and his party returned to the camp. At this time, Zhang Rui and Diao Chan had already returned, and the two girls couldn't help but be curious when they saw Chen Chu coming back so late, Zhang Rui even pestered Chen Chu and asked him why he went? Chen Chu didn't want Zhang Rui and Diao Chan to know about this matter now, so when no one was paying attention, he pinched Zhang Rui's elastic buttocks hard, Zhang Rui's crimson cheeks suddenly quieted down, and Chen Chu was confused.

In the past two years, Chen Chu's army to conquer the north has been fighting in the south and the north. First sent troops to Luoyang, then attacked and annexed the state, and then the battle in the clouds. In this series of battles, Chen Chu's strength was continuously enhanced.

In fact, in the past two years, not only Chen Chu's northern army has been fighting non-stop, but many princes have not been idle, and the battle of Jizhou alone has made the four princes of Yuan Shao, Han Fu, Liu Yu, and Gongsun Zan fall into it.

There is also Sun Jian, the Taishou of Changsha in the south, who took advantage of the opportunity of the Battle of Jizhou to lead his troops eastward, intending to infiltrate the entire Jiangdong. Due to the lack of strong opponents in the land of Jiangdong, coupled with the strong force of his son Sun Ce, Sun Jian's eastward advance was very smooth, and by the time Chen Chu ended the battle of Yunzhong, Sun Jian had already occupied the two counties of Yuzhang and Pengze, and his army had expanded to 250,000. Sun Jian did not stop there, and the army continued to advance eastward, and his next targets were Huiji County and Wu County.

However, Sun Jian, who was ambitious and soaring, did not realize that his actions had attracted the attention and vigilance of a person, and this person was Liu Biao of Jingzhou.

Liu Biao sits on the rich land of Jingxiang, with 350,000 soldiers, and his strength is also among the top few among the princes. Originally, Liu Biao lived a very happy life, because there was no force around him that could threaten him, Liu Biao had no ambitions, and for him, as long as he could live comfortably, it was enough.

However, Liu felt threatened, and this threat came from Sun Jian. Sun Jian's strength swelled too fast, and Liu Biao was worried that after Sun Jian captured Jiangdong, he would attack his own Jingzhou.

Many of Liu Biao's strategists and generals suggested that while Sun Jian's main force was not in Changsha, he would send troops to raid Sun Jian's lair. But Liu Biao hesitated and did not take this suggestion.

When the Central Plains was in full swing, Cao Cao, of course, would not be idle. Cao Cao went to Shandong to attack and take the opportunity of exterminating the remnants of the Yellow Turban in Shandong to seize territory and strengthen his strength.

After the end of the Luoyang Alliance, Cao Cao led an army to the east at the suggestion of Guo Jia, aiming to exterminate the remnants of the Yellow Turbans in Shandong.

Because there happened to be a Yellow Turban army besieging Jibei at that time, Cao Cao led the army to Jibei first, and when Cao Cao arrived, Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, had already been killed by an arrow in the face while defending the city. Cao Cao then led his army to break the Yellow Turban Army that was besieging Jibei City, and collected tens of thousands of troops, and because Bao Xin was dead, Cao Cao took the opportunity to occupy Jibei County.

Then, Cao Cao led his army to continue eastward. He took the Yellow Turban army as the forerunner, and at the same time sent people to say that Cao Cao's strategy was very successful, and many Yellow Turban troops surrendered to Cao Cao without any resistance.

It only took half a year for Cao Cao to basically exterminate the remnants of the Yellow Turban in Shandong, and most of them surrendered to Cao Cao without resistance.

Cao Cao lasted half a year to conquer the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, and obtained a prosperous harvest, collecting more than 300,000 Yellow Turbans and more than 100,000 men and women. Cao Cao selected 200,000 elites from the more than 300,000 Yellow Turban troops to form the so-called 'Qingzhou soldiers', and the rest were returned to the field, so far, the total strength of Cao Cao's command expanded to 400,000 people, second only to Chen Chu and Yuan Shao.

Cao Cao's conquest of the Yellow Turban not only expanded his strength, but also made his prestige resounding all over the world, and many strategists and generals competed to defect.

Soon after Cao Cao exterminated the remnants of the Yellow Turban, Liu Yu, the assassin of Youzhou, sent a messenger to congratulate him and ask for help. It turned out that Liu Yu and Han Fu were in an increasingly difficult situation under the attack of Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan from the north and south, so Liu Yu wanted to ask Cao Cao to send troops to repel Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan .

Cao Cao hospitted Liu Yu's envoy, but Cao Cao politely declined Liu Yu's request. Cao Cao had his own plans, and on the issue of Jizhou, he hoped that Yuan Shao would win.

Cao Cao's troops were in Yanzhou, and with their strong military strength, they controlled the entire Yanzhou in the next half a year. By the time Chen Chu finished the Battle of Yunzhong, Cao Cao controlled the four northern counties of Yuzhou, Yingchuan, Chenliu, Qiaojun, and Xuchang, in addition to the whole of Yanzhou.

"Yuan Shao has not replied to my proposal for a long time, I don't know what Yuan Shao thinks?" Cao Cao asked with a slight frown. Under him sat two people, Guo Jia and Cheng Yu.

Cheng Yu immediately hugged his fist at Cao Cao and said: "Lord, although Yuan Shao has no decision, but he is greedy, we just need to promise not to have any interests in this matter, Yuan Shao will definitely be tempted!"

Hearing this, Cao Cao hesitated for a moment, and then said quite unwillingly: "That state has completely changed under Chen Chu's governance for more than a year. Grain has doubled compared to previous years, and what is even more rare is that the trade and handicraft industry is unprecedentedly developed, and the output of steel is said to reach hundreds of thousands of catties in a month, which is almost equivalent to one-third of the world's output. Such a rich land, just give it to Yuan Shao, I am really unwilling!

At this time, Guo Jia spoke. I saw Guo Jia first salute Cao Cao with a fist, and then said, "Lord, I agree with Cheng Yu's suggestion." The lord should not be confused by the immediate interests, the lord is eloquent and strategic, and he should look farther. If we do not make such concessions at this time, it will be really difficult for Yuan Shao to join our ranks, and without Yuan Shao joining us, our army will not be able to achieve its goal on its own. Miss today's opportunity, in time, we are afraid that we will lose the opportunity to defeat the Northern Army forever!

"Admittedly, in the short term, it is thankless for us to cede all our benefits to Yuan Shao, but in the long run it is very beneficial to us. Who is Yuan Shao, the lord should know that with the lord's eloquence and the united soldiers under his command, it is only a matter of time before Yuan Shao is cleaned up. The annexation of the state is just temporarily handed over to Yuan Shao. "
