Three Kingdoms

, read wonderful novels for free without pop-ups!

The rain is falling, and the crops in the ground and the weeds on the roadside are absorbing the rain and dew like crazy, and it seems that you can hear the sound of life trying to grow.

In such a season, it is time to plow the fields again, remove weeds, and look forward to the autumn harvest. But now, because of the battle between Fei Qian and Cao Cao, Yingchuan has been greatly affected, at least in the distance. In the fields, Fei Qian didn't see any farmers working.

In history, Cao Cao had a certain positive role in promoting the entire Three Kingdoms. At least during his reign, Cao Cao restored production in Heluo and Guanzhong, resisted the Hu people in the north, and defeated the Westerners. For the Qiang people in Liang, it can be said that without Cao Cao and the unification of the north maintained by Cao Cao, perhaps the Wuhu chaos would have come earlier.

Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao were handling related military affairs in the city, and Li Dian was also assisting. Most of the wounded were sent back to Yangcheng for preliminary treatment. The main purpose here is to restore the previously consumed horsepower and add some high-energy food to the war horse. After all, the stomach of a war horse is not like that of cattle and sheep, and its ability to absorb green food is not very strong.

Of course, Fei Qian does not need to worry about these things. His subordinates will naturally do a good job. What Fei Qian needs to care about is the overall plan and the implementation of the strategy.

Today's Fei Qian, perhaps because he has been in a high position for a long time, naturally has an aura that is not angry but powerful. Even if Fei Qian has a smile on his face, no one dares to act stupid in front of Fei Qian. Even the first batch of veterans who followed Fei Qian, when they saw Fei Qian patrolling the city, they finally put away their slick faces and saluted respectfully.

You must know that these slick veterans sometimes do not lose face even if they are the king of heaven. There are some of these veterans in every feudal family, just like the Qingzhou soldiers under Cao Cao. They would hit their own family members when they robbed...

"Let Yang Dezu come for a visit." ” Fei Qian ordered, with his hands behind his back, he stood on the city gate tower and looked out. The drizzle fell on Fei Qian's head, face and hands. The scenery in the distance was hazy, like the future.

Yang Xiu came over quickly, "I have met my lord..." To be honest, Yang Xiu was a little scared every time he saw Fei Qian. It seemed that he could always feel Fei Qian's eyes sweeping over him. There were goosebumps on my back.

"I heard that Dezu was very talented in literature and good at poetry and poetry. I wonder if he would like to write a letter of apology?" Fei Qian said.

"A message?" ” Yang Xiu was a little stunned. Shouldn't this thing have been written a long time ago? Now that the army is approaching, wouldn't it be a bit like taking off one's pants to write this statement again?

Yang Xiu quickly asked again: "This statement... I wonder what the lord wants to say?" "Since it was the lord who gave the order, it was natural to write it. Whether it was about the emperor's mediocrity or Cao Cao's dictatorship, Yang Xiu said that it was all a matter of one sentence from the lord anyway.

Fei Qian smiled, full of the flavor of Party A, "Dezu just go and write it... someone can trust Dezu..."

Yang Xiu could only nod in response, and then retreated without mentioning it.

A few hours later, Fei lurked in the city lobby and received version 1.0 of the message written by Yang Xiu.

"Lord, please take a look..."

Yang Xiubi respectfully handed the written message to Fei Qian.

"Yao, Shun and Yu Tang, feared God, loved and nurtured Guizhou, worked diligently in government affairs, and walked on the glacier..."

Skip this section. Anyway, it basically talks about how it was good in ancient times and how bad it is now. It doesn’t make much sense.

Fei Qian's eyes wandered up and down, and then he found the highlight, "The so-called Cao family, the fox steals the righteousness, the sacred weapon, the wolf, the jackal, the owl, the poison brings harm to the world, causes chaos and evil, has no order, the heaven and the earth cannot tolerate it, and humans and gods groan. Alas! 』

"I wantonly marching with swords, conquering the people weeping hard, recruiting good families, seizing and replenishing funds, being far away and disappointed, going against the odds in hope, not reading the previous chapter, running out of energy, exhausting all the money, and leaving the city behind!" 』

"Standing in a high position, one is originally concerned about diligence and is deeply concerned about his rank. He takes corvee lightly and pays little in taxes. He does not take away the farming time and does not value rulers and jade. However, the eunuchs and princes are eunuchs, the taxes are too many and obscene, they do not know the rules of discipline, and they are unruly and disobey divination. Fighting fiercely and repeatedly, the country is exhausted! 』

"Only wood follows the rope, as sharpened as gold. Yao of the Tang Dynasty built the drum, and Yu of the Xia Dynasty hung the harpoon. When he listened to the rules, he was an upright person, but he suddenly killed the dragon. Wild, stretching thousands of miles! 』

"Zhongni has a saying: If you have no faith, you will not be established. Once you have made meritorious deeds, you must reward them with titles and coins, and set up officials and assigned duties to encourage them. However, when a gentleman is in the wilderness and a villain is in power, he talks about appointing virtuous people, but in reality he accepts his relatives. His words and deeds are deceitful. , How can a traitor be reached! 』

"Today's hussar general has a great family tradition..."

The following paragraph was filled with photos of rainbow farts taken by Yang Xiu, which had no practical significance. Fei Qian looked at it briefly, nodded, and asked Yang Xiu to correct another copy and give it to Liu Ye to take back. Yang Xiu was not asked to modify anything specifically, and Yang Xiu was not forced to go from 1.0 to 11.0, or to go from not changing the version to being dead when he changed it. Anyway, what Fei Qian wanted was already in the manifesto. Write.

As expected, Yang Xiu still did not let go of the stain on Cao Cao's identity and launched a series of attacks. This was exactly what Fei Qian wanted, but there was no need to exaggerate or emphasize it. Those who understood would naturally understand.

The issue of Cao Cao's background was, after all, a gap that prevented him from completely integrating with the Shandong nobles. It was also a very important factor in Cao Cao's distrust of other Shandong nobles.

Fei Qian's Yang Xiu version of "An Essay on Discussing Cao Cao" was actually not a simple war of words, but once again exposed Cao Cao's weakness. It was also Fei Qian's response to Xun Yu and others. Xun Yu alluded that Fei Qian would become Zhi in the future, and Fei Qian now represents the problems Cao Cao is facing now. What will happen to Fei Qian in the future is still a matter of the future. Now Cao Cao's problem is obvious. How will you, Xun Yu, solve it?

And can Xun Yu solve Cao Cao's problem?

Obviously there is no way.

If land is the red line for a noble family, then military power is Cao Cao's G-point, which no one can touch. But the current problem is that Cao Cao's military power structure, which originally seemed to be stable, is now crumbling and in danger. It can be said that Cao Cao Cong had no way to solve this problem from the beginning until he breathed his last breath...

When he received the battle report sent by Xun Yu, Cao Cao locked himself in a tent alone, and then drove the guards far away to prevent anyone from approaching. According to people familiar with the situation later, Cao Sikong performed a secret technique in the tent and called on the power of ghosts and gods to reverse the situation. However, in fact, Cao Cao could not control his emotions at the time, and he cried and howled.

After venting, Cao Cao often enters a short sage time. The same is naturally true for Cao Cao. He immediately put away all the little thoughts he had before and directly ordered his soldiers to rush to Yingchuan despite the still light rain.

Yes, Cao Cao originally planned to spar with Fei Qian, but now, Cao Cao can't help but feel a little panicked. The combat modes that Cao Cao is good at are, first, mobile warfare, and second, ambush warfare. Basically, whether it was against Heishan back then, Army, or later against Yuan Shao, this is actually the case, and positional warfare is not very good for Cao Cao. This is reflected in the large-scale positional warfare in history, the Battle of Guandu and the Battle of Chibi.

Cao Cao's strategic plan from the beginning was to lure the enemy deeper and eliminate Fei Qian's power during the movement. What he didn't expect was that Fei Qian started moving, but once it started, Cao Cao couldn't stop it...

This is quite embarrassing.

However, it was like God was deliberately playing a joke on Cao Cao. When the Wuhuan people who went south heard that they were going to fight the Hussar General, they immediately regretted it and sent a big party to catch up with Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was eating wheat rice at that time. The rough wheat rice is very hard, as hard as small stones, and you can only grind it little by little with your teeth. Cao Cao has been a little angry in the past two days, which makes it difficult to eat, but Cao Cao remained calm until he heard Wu Huan's words...

"I am the south, not the west!" ” Da Danghu used a very blunt Chinese to express the same blunt meaning, “No, west! 』

Cao Cao really wanted to yell back and shout, "I paid for it," but when the words came to his lips, they were replaced by a smile, and then he said with a smile: "I heard that Wuhuan warriors are world-famous. Is it possible that there are times when I am afraid?" ? 』

Wu Huan's account shook like a rattle, "No, no!" We, the warriors, the devils from the west! To the west, no, don’t go! 』

Cao Cao's smile froze on his face, and he said after a while: "What if... we add more money?" 』

"More money, okay!" How much to add? ” Wuhuan Danghu immediately replied.

Cao Cao #

Yes, problems that can be solved with money are not problems, but the problem is that Cao Cao has no money now. But lack of money still cannot be an excuse for Cao Cao to avoid problems. Cao Cao still has to bite the bullet and solve the problem.

what to do? First, Wuhuan's principal account was deceived for the time being. The money issue still needed to be dealt with by Cao Cao, so he could only see if he had any Huabei notes. Anyway, Cao Cao didn't have a credit card, but when Cao Cao once again said that he would reach out to When they entered the Shandong gentry, they were blocked by the gentry. Many of the gentry said that the landlords had no spare money, and they implicitly said that this war should end as soon as possible!

In fact, are all Shandong nobles disgusted with Cao Cao and welcome Fei Qian?

Not really.

The Shandong nobles also don't like Fei Qian, especially the so-called "Xintianzheng", but why do the Shandong nobles still not provide absolute support to Cao Cao under such a situation?

Remember giving way?

In fact, the conflict between the Shandong gentry and Cao Cao lasted for more than a day or two.

Cao Cao allowed his relatives to hold high positions in various places. As a result, the Shandong nobles were unable to obtain what they wanted, and the conflict became antagonism. Although Cao Cao made some adjustments and concessions after the border concession incident, For the Shandong nobles, can this little concession satisfy the needs of the Shandong nobles?

Cao Cao's concession only temporarily satisfied the Shandong nobles and others on the surface, but in fact it further aroused the desires of these people. After all, the Cao family and the Xiahou family occupied so many lucrative positions, and there was no one among the nobles who was not jealous. ? Therefore, the current Shandong nobles' refusal to support Cao Cao is actually the same as the Wuhuan people's refusal to fight Fei Qian. They are not really unwilling, but they want to take the opportunity to knock Cao Cao off again.

What a great rip-off. If you miss this village, why don’t you look for the next store?

...! …

When Fei Qian talked about this matter with Guo Jia with a smile, Guo Jia changed his color almost immediately and pointed at Fei Qian with trembling hands, "I never thought that Qiusi could be so vicious..."

Guo Jia is a smart person, and he is quite smart at that level, so after hearing Fei Qian's countermeasures, he almost immediately understood what Fei Qian was hiding behind his words. He couldn't help but feel a little creepy, and he couldn't help but curse. Fei Qian. Doesn’t Guo Jia still know what kind of virtues the nobles have?

Fei Qian smiled and said, "What?" Don't you want to drink? Fei Qian patted the wine bottle on the table and shook it twice. The aroma of the wine rippled out, lingering faintly.

Guo Jia's nose couldn't help but twitch twice, and then he was silent for a long time. He lowered his arms in despair, and his whole body collapsed. He smiled bitterly and said, "The strategy of attacking the heart of a hussar is better than that of a soldier!" 』

Ordinary people may even think that Fei Qian is superfluous. The battle has already been fought, so what else is there to do about it? Isn’t the process upside down? But in fact, this appeal is completely different from Yuan Shao's previous appeal to attack Cao Cao.

Why did Yuan Shao write an appeal at that time?

Because Yuan Shao wanted to get the support of the Jizhou nobles and to ensure that his military actions had a certain degree of political correctness, but now Fei Qian did not need these two things, so Fei Qian's purpose in writing the memorandum was completely different from Yuan Shao's. Although Fei Qian's message was clearly written for Cao Cao, it was actually written for Xun Yu, the people of Yingchuan, and the Shandong gentry.

To put it simply, what is this Cao Cao you support? See for yourselves! It also gave these Shandong nobles an excuse to confront Cao Cao, and even seemed to be instigating.

Fei Qian shook the wine bottle, and then Guo Jia knew what Fei Qian meant. The jug is like the benefit in front of you, and when the benefit in front of you is swaying and exuding an alluring fragrance, how many people will hold back? Even if Guo Jia showed his backbone and resisted the temptation, could it be that Will all those Shandong nobles be able to endure it? If everything can be tolerated, there will be no such thing as giving in. But now, Fei Qian seems to have opened the wound that had not healed with his own hands, and then cut it with a knife and sprinkled some salt on it. Knead it.

Guo Jia drank the wine and then seemed to come to life again. He shook his head and said, "Qiusi, you want to save the big man?" Do you want to destroy the big man? It sounds like Guo Jia alone is asking Fei Qian a question, but in fact, just like Fei Qian borrowing the wine gourd to express the content, Guo Jia is using this question to express the current nobles' attitude toward Fei Qian. people's questions.

Fei Qian was silent for a while, picked up the wine bowl and drank a bowl with Guo Jia, and then said, "Fengxiao, let me ask one thing. Is Sikong willing to exchange Xiahou's son for Man to have a family?" 』

This time it was Guo Jia's turn to be silent.

After a while, Guo Jia said, "What do you want to do?" 』

"have a look. ” Fei Qian said calmly, if I weren’t worried that you guys wouldn’t understand, I would have said that I was here to make soy sauce. Do you believe it or not? Of course, there is another meaning.

Guo Jia obviously understood and smiled bitterly, "That's it, we'll see." 』
