Great Wei Nengchen

At the moment of life and death, who is willing to make concessions, dignity, friendship, loyalty...all are gone, people wielding knives and guns, fighting desperately, even among friends from the same village, there is no mercy, only the heads of the people killed are rolling in, and the corpses are piled up like a mountain. The yellow river water was literally stained red with blood, and the casualties were huge, which is evident!

Using more than 100 ships to attract Yuan Jun to kill each other, the culprit of all this is naturally the black-bellied and ruthless Xiao Yi. It turned out that when Cao Jun attacked the whole line, Xiao Yi had predicted that after the collapse of Yuan Jun, he would retreat to the Yellow River Ferry. Therefore, I arranged some ships in advance to let them see the hope of life, so as not to make the dog jump over the wall in a hurry!

Even if Yuan Jun snatched the boat, they would not be able to escape the net. When they killed each other, Xiao Yi led [-] cavalry and lined up on the north bank of the Yellow River, waiting for the fish that escaped the net. That's all, anyone who dares to resist to the end will be shot and killed without mercy. In other words, what Yuan Jun desperately fights for is just a chance to be a prisoner!

The way of the military strategist is to use deceit to win. Sometimes giving the enemy a little hope will speed up his defeat. As for how to use it, it is all in one mind!

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

"Hold it!... You must hold it up!"

Besides, on the south bank of the Yellow River, Yuan Jun killed each other, and the chaos became a mess. Cao's soldiers approached step by step, forming a large encirclement circle, and none of them would let go. In desperation, Yuan Shao ordered Zhang Yun and Gao Lan to gather the defeated soldiers around. , Desperately resisted Cao Jun's attack, took his son Yuan Tan and counselor Guo Tu, and embarked on the road of escape...

After all, Yuan Shao is a general, and there are some loyal soldiers around him. With the help of these people, after a bloody battle, he finally managed to grab a few ships. Yuan Tan, Guo Tu, and more than a dozen dead soldiers boarded the boat and rowed to the north bank. As for the hundreds of thousands of Hebei soldiers, they were all abandoned by him!

In addition, the Yuan family and his son are not good at fighting, but they have a way of escaping. After grabbing the boat, they did not row to the other side, nor did they go down the river, because Yuan Shao knew in his heart that there was a ferocious "greedy wolf" on the north bank, watching What about my old life...

Therefore, taking advantage of the relatively slow water flow near the ferry of the Yellow River, the Yuan family and his son paddled hard, and the boat insisted on going upstream, docked at a rocky stall upstream, and then went into the wilderness, all the way to the direction of Yecheng. Escape--fish in the cauldron will survive!

Chapter 893 Two pregnant women, mother and child bond!

"Haha!--Father won a big victory, Yuan Shao ran away in panic, and the entire army of tens of 10 horses was wiped out. The land of Qing, Ji, You, and the four states will soon belong to the Cao family--the sky has eyes! !"

In the prime minister's mansion-study, Cao Pi is holding the front-line victory report, laughing up to the sky, laughing heartily, with tears in his eyes, my ancestors bless me, I finally made it out!

During the Battle of Guandu, the front line fought day and night, with mountains of bones, rivers of blood, and countless casualties. Similarly, the rear was not easy. In order to support the front line, Cao Ying ruled the young and strong, ordnance, food, and vehicles of Xiazhou and counties... ...It was almost completely empty, the big and small officials were busy day and night, and how many people had gray hair from worry!

In addition, the public security is chaotic everywhere, rumors are everywhere, and the situation is turbulent, especially in Xuchang City, which is more than [-] miles away from Guandu. Once Yuan Jun breaks through the defense line, he will be able to kill the city within two days. Rich merchants fled one after another, for fear of being involved in the flames of war. The common people closed their doors and burned incense and worshiped gods for safety. The streets were full of fleeing crowds, as if the end was coming!

Affected by the war, the price of goods in Xuchang City skyrocketed. A bucket of corn was worth tens of thousands of dollars, which was dozens of times the usual price. As for meat and eggs, which had a price but no market, they became a rarity. Stomach upset, either going out to escape, begging everywhere, or taking risks and becoming a thief. As for incidents such as beating, smashing, robbing, and burning, they are happening almost every day...

The situation is so chaotic and the people are panic-stricken. On the one hand, the war is fierce, people and material resources are recruited too much, and the living supplies are in short supply, making it difficult for the people to make ends meet; With a large amount of food, they took the opportunity to raise the price of food, trying to make a fortune from the war. As for the mastermind behind the scenes, they were the civil and military officials of the imperial court!

During the Battle of Guandu, Yuan's army of tens of thousands marched southward, with an unprecedented force. Civil and military officials all believed that the Yuan family would win, the Cao family would be defeated, and Xuchang City was about to change hands. Therefore, they jumped up and down, everywhere Destruction, trying to mess up Cao Jun's rear, and then under the cooperation of inside and outside, destroy Cao Ying Group in one fell swoop, and become Yuan's founding hero!

People are in panic, law and order are in chaos, prices are soaring, prices are rising three times a day, civil and military officials are hiding evil intentions... Many difficult problems are placed in front of Cao Pi. If they are not handled properly, large-scale rebellion will occur, which will affect Guandu. On the battlefield, once the battle ahead is defeated, the Cao clan will be doomed forever!

Fortunately, Cao Pi is worthy of being the son of a traitor. He inherited his father's cunning character and superb political skills. After discussing with several important officials, he issued several decrees in the name of the prime minister's office:

First of all, control Xuchang City, set the price of grain, and crack down on speculation. All profiteers, large and small, who hoarded grain, cloth, and refined salt... were all imprisoned. After being tortured, they were sentenced to punishment according to the law. Materials are sold to the common people at normal prices to appease people's hearts and curb rising prices!

Secondly, Cao Pi led the personal guards of the Xiangfu to patrol the streets every day. As long as he encountered guys who spread rumors, stole property, and disrupted public order, he would be executed on the spot regardless of his background, no matter how high or low he was. Hang it up for public display, and use strong iron-blooded means to quickly stabilize people's hearts so as not to affect the frontline battle!

In the end, the prime minister's mansion dispatched a large number of people to closely monitor the civil and military officials, prohibiting them from contacting each other, and prohibiting them from entering and leaving the palace at will. Once any misbehavior is found, they will be locked up all over the house. In addition, all Xuchang defenders were dispatched to control the key points everywhere. Departments, hard bows are stringed, long knives are unsheathed, ready to suppress the rebels at any time!

As soon as several orders from the Prime Minister's Mansion came out, the effect was extremely obvious. The price of goods in Xuchang City dropped and the law and order was good. I didn't expect that a 17-year-old boy could have such fierce tactics, so that someone commented on Cao Pi-"This son is as fierce as a tiger in power!" '

In addition to stabilizing people's hearts and deterring all officials, Cao Pi put more energy into the war. The tens of thousands of people on the front line fought fiercely, and countless ordnance, food and grass were consumed every day. In order to supply the army in time, Cao Pi worked tirelessly. They tried every means to raise food, fodder, husbands, vehicles... and sent them to the front line of Guandu continuously!

In order to save food, Cao Pi led the whole family to only drink two meals of porridge a day, setting an example for the world, and took out all kinds of utensils from the prime minister's mansion, melted them into gold bricks and silver ingots, and filled them all into military pay. Cao Jun insisted After more than half a year, the military pay, food and grass have not been cut off, and the second son Cao Pi has contributed a lot!

In the affairs of the world, as long as there is dedication, there must be rewards. Cao Pi has suffered a lot, but he has also shown his talent and won some prestige. The important officials of the Caoying Group have made friends with this second son, and even put some chips on them. , But, Cao Pi knew in his heart that if he wanted to become the heir of the Cao family, he still had a long way to go!

In this Guandu battle, Cao Zhang and Cao Zhi followed in the army, charged into battle together, and fought bloody battles. Their performance was remarkable. Forged friendship with the generals, this is a great help!

Since ancient times, where there are soldiers, there is power, and if there is power, there is power. Any prince who seizes the throne cannot do without the support of the army. In this regard, Cao Pi is far behind. He has been handling government affairs and made friends Most of them are civil servants and have no influence in the army. In the future, they will compete with their two younger brothers for the heir apparent, so they really don't have an advantage!

"Come here!--Prepare some tonics, I'm going to Wushouhou Mansion, visit my sister, and prepare some delicious food and beautiful clothes for the ladies in the Hou Mansion!"

Cao Pi is a smart person, so he immediately thought of a countermeasure. Xiao Yi, the most important minister in the military, has a high position and power, and holds a heavy army. As long as he gets his support, he is better than thousands of troops, and the reserve position will be guaranteed!

It's a pity that Xiao Yi sticks to his duties as a minister and never interferes with the issue of heirs. He treats the brothers of the Cao family neither too close nor deliberately alienated.

However, human beings have their weaknesses. Xiao Yi is a sentimental person who loves his wife and sister very much. As long as he wins their favor, things will be much easier. Therefore, during the period when Cao Pi was in charge of Xuchang, he went there every two days. The Marquis of Wuchou takes care of everything, is obedient to the second sister Cao Jie, as long as the pillow blows, Xiao Lang will not give in... Hehe!

..................................................................................................................

"The Guandu battle was won, and the army's squadron returned triumphantly. In a few days, the eldest brother will return home. There must be many gifts... Haha!"

"Your husband led the troops to go out to battle. Every day, he was bathed in blood and rain. He must have suffered a lot. You should reward him well... Ha ha!"

................................................

Wushouhou Mansion - Above the lobby, several hostesses gathered together, discussing the battle ahead, Xiao Jing and Lu Linger jumped up and down, with joyful expressions on their faces, Cai Wenji's face was pink, as if she was expecting something , As for Cao Jie and Zhen Mi, they caressed their towering stomachs with a contented expression!

The two wives are already pregnant with Liujia, and their belly is tall and pointed, like two big sugar buns: thin skin, rich filling, and good taste. In order to take good care of the two pregnant women, more than a dozen famous doctors from Xuchang City have all been invited here After checking the pulse, they all agreed: "The two ladies have smooth blood and are in good health. There is no problem at all. The most important thing is that the two fetuses are both male babies. They are young men with handles!" '

Ever since they found out they were pregnant with a baby boy, Cao Jie and Zhen Mi's smiles have never been broken. The corners of their mouths are turned up when they sleep. Well, raising it up high and stepping down lightly, even an ant dare not step on it to death, for fear of harming the fetus in the womb, it is like two female Bodhisattvas!

The customs of the Han Dynasty advocated early marriage and early childbearing. Folk women are 14 years old and men are 17 years old. If they are not married, their parents will be guilty. It is very common to be a grandfather at the age of 40, and the family has five generations under the same roof!

Xiao Yi is 26 years old, a standard older youth, but his heirs are very weak. Only one Qiang girl has two children, and they are all worthless girls. This puts a lot of pressure on the wives. Giving birth to a boy is a great way to feel elated, and now that they are finally pregnant, they are naturally extremely happy!

The protection of the two wives is even more meticulous. At twelve hours a day, there are absolutely no people around. Someone eats food first, drinks water first, and someone goes out first. Even when sleeping, there is a team of women guarding them. Put an end to all dangerous things. It is no exaggeration to say that even if the empress is pregnant with a dragon seed, the treatment will be nothing more than this!

Because the battle situation is dangerous and the outcome is unpredictable, in order to prevent problems before they happen, Xiao Jing and Lu Ling'er discussed in private that once the Guandu defense line fell and Yuan Jun came to kill them, they would lead the "women's army" to protect the two sister-in-laws and rush out of Xuchang In the city, no matter how much you pay, you must protect your brother's flesh and blood. Therefore, the Hou Mansion has prepared hundreds of fast horses, which are used to escape at critical moments!

Fortunately, the Guandu battle was won, the whole army returned triumphantly, and Xiao Yi was about to return. Everyone in the mansion was very happy. The women gathered together and were discussing how to celebrate. When the army enters the city, there must be a ceremony of triumph. Go to meet, the Marquis of Wushou cannot fall behind, and must take the lead!

"Slaves, please refer to the first lady, the second lady, and the third lady... The Zhen family in Yecheng has sent people with many gifts and a letter written by the head of the family..."

While everyone was discussing, the maid Xiaozhu appeared. After Wanfu saluted, she presented a letter. She is Zhen Mi's personal maid. She has lived together since childhood, and loves her like sisters. Zhen Mi also secretly planned to get pregnant by herself. During this period of time, let Xiaozhu replace some of the 'duties', anyway, the fat and water will not flow into the fields of outsiders!

As for the Zhen family in Hebei, it is not surprising that there are gifts and letters. After the Guandu war ended, Yuan Shao suffered a crushing defeat, and the elite soldiers and horses were completely destroyed. Within three to five years, they must have disappeared!

As the 'No. [-] chaebol in the world', the Zhen family must look for a new backer. As the chief minister, Xiao Yi has a high position, a powerful army, and married the 'fifth son' of the Zhen family. Naturally, he is the best candidate. , Now that I have sent a heavy gift here, I just want to clear the way, so that I can have someone to rely on in the future!

"Someone from my hometown in Hebei is here. If you need to meet, you can explain some things. The two elder sisters sit slowly, and the younger sister will take her leave for the time being!"

After reading the letter, Zhen Mi, supported by Xiaozhu, went back to deal with the matter. This 'big rich girl' had a plan long ago. The billions of money of the Zhen family, as well as the position of the head of the family, belonged to her son, and no one else could get her hands on it. , now is a great opportunity!

"Report to the eldest lady!--The second son of the Prime Minister's Mansion has come to visit. He has already arrived outside the gate of the mansion, and he still has a lot of gifts. Would you like to meet him..."

Just as Zhen Mi left, a maid came to report that the second son Cao Pi had come to visit his own sister and unborn nephew!

"Haha! Let Zihuan come in. I'm inconvenient, so I won't go out to greet you. Anyway, they are my siblings, so don't worry about etiquette!"

Hearing that the second younger brother Cao Pi is coming, Cao's program turned around a few times, showing a clear smile, and then holding his big belly, he was also thinking carefully... No matter how good the relationship between siblings is, there is no mother and child. The monstrous wealth, his son also wants a share!

Chapter 894 The army triumphs, blood sacrifices to heroic spirits!

"The sun rises in the east, shining all over Kyushu, and the virtue of fire is eternal, bless me a big man~---open the gate of the city!"

The system of the Han family: work at sunrise and rest at sunset, inherit the way of heaven at the top, and combine yin and yang at the bottom. At dawn, with the shout of the city gate order, the gatekeepers obey the order, in the order of the blue dragon, red bird, white tiger, and Xuanwu. , opened the Xuchang city gate one by one, and slowly lowered the suspension bridge, a new day began...

At the same time, in Xuchang City, smoke is rising from the kitchen, every household is cooking with fire, the women are busy everywhere, and the children are playing and playing... It is a piece of happiness for the people. It has been going on for a long time, the war has just ended, and the people's livelihood is extremely poor. If such a situation occurs, something important will happen!
