Three Kingdoms: At the beginning, Cao Cao assassinated Dong, and I was abandoned

Just when he fell into the masquerade, Xuanjia Army suddenly took out his bow and arrows, and countless arrows shot towards him.

"Puff puff!"

Cheng Lugui's eyes turned dark, he only cared about the beauties, and forgot that they could also ride and shoot, "Fight back, fight back!"

However, the shooting speed of the Xuanjia Army is comparable to that of a single dog for decades, especially the sharp archer behind the second daughter. Ordinary soldiers are acceptable.

It was only then that Cheng Lugui discovered that this army was the elite. He had [-] elite riders behind him. Compared with others, it was like a child's play.

"Rush into the opponent's lineup and interrupt their arrows!"

However, they chased for nearly half an hour, but they failed to catch up with the Xuanjia Army. Seeing that the opponent wanted to consume him to death, Cheng Lugui ordered the soldiers to distance themselves from them and prepared to withdraw from Yuyang County.

"Chasing, don't let them leave Youzhou alive!"

Gongsun Baoyue and Huang Wudie commanded the soldiers to pursue frantically. Cao Shuo had already told them that unless they had an absolute advantage, they were not allowed to single out with the opposing general.

The second daughter also knew Cao Shuo's intentions very well, they were not so reckless as to rush into the enemy's line to fight.

The second daughter led the army and chased it all the way to Luping. Cheng Lugui's 4000 cavalry had lost more than [-] men.

"General, if this continues, we will be consumed by the opponent."

"Are all the girls in Wei country so fierce?"

"I really want a daughter-in-law like this who can go to the battlefield at home and go to the battlefield outside."

"Be careful not to be shot into a hedgehog by them."

Cheng Lugui is also flustered now, he thought he met two beauties, but who knew it was two female butchers, and he didn't give them a chance to get close.

Looking in the direction of the west, Cheng Lugui suddenly had an idea.

"Lead them to the direction of Shan Yu's big tent, I don't believe they can withstand the impact of a hundred thousand troops."

"Wu Die, the other party has already left the border of Youzhou, should we continue to chase?"

Huang Wudie ordered the soldiers to rest where they were, then called the guide and asked, "Where are they going?"

"That should be Ke Bineng's camp."

"Ke Bineng's camp?"

Huang Wudie was surprised, Ke Bineng had already withdrawn, did they go there, did it mean that they didn't know that it had been occupied by Youzhou army.

Huang Wudie looked at Gongsun Baoyue and said, "What will happen if the other party plunges into our army?"

"It's ugly to die!" Gongsun Baoyue chuckled.

"Then give them some motivation! Lieutenant Qi, you lead the [-] Xuanjia troops to continue the pursuit, just keep shooting with bows and arrows."

"promise!"

Gongsun Baoyue asked in surprise, "Wu Die, why don't we pursue?"

Huang Wudie said angrily: "If you continue to chase, you will be punished by military law!"

You don't even look at the place in front of you, it is Xianbei's territory, and you may encounter Xianbei's army at any time. If you encounter danger and the king cannot rescue them, then they will become captives.

Gongsun Baoyue stuck out her tongue and said, "You are still calmer!"

Huang Wudie reprimanded solemnly: "As a general, you only know how to charge blindly. That's what a reckless man does. It's good to be a little reckless sometimes, but don't forget, we are women, and we cannot tolerate failure."

"You are right, you are more right than what the king said!" Gongsun Baoyue gave her an angry look.

Huang Wudie told the soldiers: "Let's go back to Luping first, and we will go back after the king sends the army."

Chapter 377

After Cao Shuo returned to Ji County, Tian Feng counted the battle report.

"Your Majesty, we lost more than 3000 soldiers and killed more than 14 enemies in Danhan Mountain. The two princesses were not injured in Yuyang County and killed more than 7000 enemies."

"A total of 17 war horses, nearly 30 cattle and sheep, more than 4 Xianbei women, and countless iron ore and gold ore were seized."

Xun Chen asked: "Your Majesty, no Xianbei soldiers have entered Danhan Mountain so far. Do we want to send troops to station for a long time?"

Cao Shuo thought for a while and said, "No need. Although Danhan Mountain is of great significance to Xianbei, it is not close to Youzhou. We don't need to increase the risk. Let the Xianbei people grab it and fatten them up." , let's go again."

All the soldiers laughed loudly. It was usually the Xianbei who invaded the territory of the Han Dynasty. Now they lead the army to Xianbei, and their hearts are full of a sense of accomplishment.

The Xianbei army suffered heavy losses in this battle, and Xianbei Shanyu's important generals were even more lost. They would not be able to recover in a few years. Once the leader died, Xianbei would fall into a state of chaos for a period of time.

Without Shan Yu's rule, the various tribes fought on their own. As long as they couldn't work together, Xianbei would have no threat.

At that time, they will use the materials to exchange for livestock and war horses, drain the blood of the entire Xianbei, and send some soldiers at will to sweep the entire Xianbei.

Cao Shuo looked at Tian Feng and said, "Yuanhao, send more people to Xianbei territory to survey the terrain, and draw a map of Xianbei, which will be used when our army goes out to conquer Xianbei."

"When the looted supplies are arranged, I will order people to do it."

Drawing a topographic map cannot be completed in a day or two, and it is not in a hurry. It can be completed within a year. At that time, you can directly lead an army of 20 into Longcheng and seal the wolf in Xushan. Grazing on the prairie.

Liu Ye said: "Your Majesty, our army has lost a lot in this battle and needs to recuperate for a while. It is not appropriate to send troops in the short term!"

The consecutive wars in Youzhou have made our side a little bit overwhelmed, and the loss of soldiers has exceeded 8. Although it is not hurt, the soldiers are already very tired.

Cao Shuo nodded and said, "Let's return to Xindu for now, and Youzhou will be handed over to Yuanhao. After I arrive in Luoyang, I will send Zilong back."

"promise!"

Cao Shuo continued; "The army that ruled Xu Huang, let him repel the eastern Xianbei entrenched near Bailang and Pinggang as soon as possible, and we can't let them harass Youzhou again. In the future, we are the only ones to harass them."

"promise!"

After Cao Shuo rested in Ji County for two days, he led the army back to Xindu.

"I'm waiting to wish the king a triumphant return."

Xun Yu, Xin Pi, Zhao Gai and others came outside the city and led all the civil and military officials to meet Cao Shuo's army.

Cao Shuo looked at Xun Yu and asked, "Did anything important happen during Wen Ruo's absence?"

"There are five things."

"First, Yuan Shu, Liu Biao, and Sun Ce along the Yangtze River formed an alliance. In order to force Cao Cao to retreat, Liu Biao sent a large army to attack Runan County. Cao Cao had no choice but to withdraw all the troops to the north of the Huaihe River. At the same time, he sent generals Cao Ren and Xia Houyuan to rescue Runan County. .”

"Secondly, Liu Bei exchanged Nanyang County for 50 stones of grain and grass from Liu Biao, and then hid in Hanzhong. At the same time, he took nearly [-]% of the people in Nanyang County with him, and at the same time became King of Hanzhong in Hanzhong."

"Thirdly, Sun Ce led an army to capture Guangling County. Zhang Chao, the prefect of Guangling County, died in battle, and all his men belonged to Sun Ce."

"Fourth, Lu Bu of Bingzhou sent troops to Yanmen Pass to take back Wuyuan County and Shuofang County, which were occupied by Ma Teng, and drove away Xianbei in Yunzhong County. Now the entire Bingzhou is under Lu Bu's control."

"Fifth, Han Sui in Xiliang was destroyed by Ma Teng, and Liangzhou returned to Ma Teng's hands. Dong Zhuo and Ma Teng reached a consensus and decided to send troops to deal with Lu Bu."

Cao Shuo was terrified when he heard that, the five pieces of news were all very shocking, especially Liu Bei, this guy went to Hanzhong and became king.

Among the princes, Liu Bei is what he cares most about. He uses various methods to squeeze Liu Bei, just to let him develop slowly. Unexpectedly, this guy still wins people's hearts.

For this, Cao Shuo had to admire that he was able to win the hearts of the people after years of running around without a fixed place.

However, without Zhang Fei and Zhuge Liang "helping the king to be abusive", you will only be left with Guan Yu himself as the five tiger generals, and you will be a little king in Hanzhong. With Liu Bei's current strength, it is impossible to attack Liu Yan.

As for Lu Bu, he didn't care about it at all. Zhang Liao and Gao Shun were gone, so how much he could do, and whether he could hold back the armies of Ma Teng and Dong Zhuo were all questions.

Cao Shuo looked at Gan Ning and said, "Xingba, the warships built in Bohai County are four to five times larger than those in Jiangnan. Each warship has four trebuchets and ten heavy crossbows. In water combat, there is no need to contact the opponent at all."

Gan Ning looked horrified, four to five times bigger than Lou Chuan?Wouldn't it be possible to sail to sea?

He said solemnly; "The final general is willing to lead the navy to the south of the Yangtze River to practice his skills, and then lead the navy to fight overseas."

In Gan Ning's heart, the naval forces along the Yangtze River were no longer his opponents, and he wanted to fight overseas.

Liu Ye asked in surprise: "My lord, are these warships really made by us?"

In his mind, it was impossible for the north to manufacture such warships.

Chapter 378

"Xingba, lead your sailors and familiarize yourself with the performance of the new warship with Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, and Lu Jun. After you are proficient in using it, we will send troops to Yangzhou and sweep Jingzhou."

"promise!"

After the generals of the navy left, Cao Shuo looked at Xun Yu and said, "Call the Minister of Industry, the Minister, Lang Zhong, and Yuanwai Lang."

Xun Yu was very puzzled. He didn't expect Wang Shang to find the Ministry of Industry just after he came back. Could there be a big problem in the Ministry of Industry?

But neither the Ministry of Officials nor Jin Yiwei reported anything about the Ministry of Industry?

The other ministers were also puzzled. Minister Xun Wei of the Ministry of Industry and Minister Li Li might suffer disaster. These two people are usually very upright. What is it that makes the king unhappy?

"Xun Fai, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry and Engineering, pay homage to the lord!"

"Li Li, minister of the ministerial department, pay my respects to my lord!"

The faces of the two were very calm. As the saying goes, they are not afraid of the shadows. They asked themselves that they hadn't done anything to make the lord angry.

"It's important for you to come, let you do it!"

"Please show me, Your Majesty!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that they were arranging things, and they thought that the two of them were colluding secretly, taking money and breaking the law.

"In troubled times, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Punishment come first, but in peacetime, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Officials are the most important."

"Jizhou is quite stable now, and Youzhou is gradually resuming production. The work of your Ministry of Industry will be very heavy."

Xun Fei asked puzzledly: "Your Majesty, Youzhou is sparsely populated, and it may be even more difficult to resume production. It must be done with the cooperation of the Ministry of Household Affairs."

Cao Shuo said: "There are already enough people in Jizhou. At present, there are nearly 300 million people. Please discuss and arrange all the wives and children of the soldiers in Youzhou to Youzhou."

"promise!"

"Xun Fei, you are recruiting some skilled craftsmen in Jizhou. Skilled hands in all aspects, even if they are better than ordinary people in growing grain, gather them and arrange them in the Ministry of Industry, so that they can do research on the areas they are good at. .”

Xun Wei looked confused, is growing grain considered a talent?

Zhao Fu, Minister of the Household Department, asked: "Your Majesty, this kind of grain is known to the common people, why should they be called in?"

These people must be paid when they are called to the Ministry of Industry, but he must ask clearly about this waste of money.

Cao Shuo shook his head. These people's thinking is still too old, and they haven't realized the importance of increasing food production, but they don't blame them. With such a vast area, the population is only 2000 to [-] million. There is no end to planting. In their hearts, it is good to have a species.

"Growing grain is also a science. If they can double the output of wheat and rice, it will actually be a big boost to our army."

"Double the output?"

Everyone is unbelievable. If they can really double their improvement, they will definitely be geniuses among geniuses, but they have never heard of such a person.

"Your Majesty, there is probably no one in this world other than the lord."

Cao Shuo's face darkened, and he thought to himself, I actually don't know how to do it either, but Yuan Lao's achievements were not accomplished in a day or two.

"This is not a matter of one or two years. Maybe ten or eight years later, you will feel the changes. After all, food cannot be matured in one day. It takes many years and multiple seasons to experiment. This is a long-term process. "

Everyone was horrified, they only thought about it for a year or two, but they didn't expect the king to take this as a long-term goal, ten years or eight years, for other princes, they may not have the opportunity to think about it, we have already Began to implement.

Cao Shuo said meaningfully: "Although we are waging wars every day, we must yearn for peace in our hearts. When there is no more wars in our hearts, we can't be like this now, eating water and cooking for two meals a day, All light candles."

Everyone asked in puzzlement: "What do you light without candles?"

Cao Shuo smiled and said, "You have to believe that there are some special people in this world, and their thinking is different from normal people."

Cao Shuo ordered the completion department, the official department, and the household department to let these people go back. The three departments of Shangshu Province, Zhongshu Province, and Menxia Province were there, so he didn't need to deal with too many things.

When Cao Shuo returned to the harem, Diao Chan led a group of concubines to greet him.

"Your Majesty, you have worked hard! The courtiers and concubines have prepared a reception banquet for the King."

During the meal, a stranger was arranged next to Cao Shuo. Although he was naturally beautiful and beautiful, he could tell at a glance that it was a young woman.

Seeing Cao Shuo staring at her, the young woman couldn't help but blushed, and Diao Chan said in a low voice, "My lord, this is Zhang Ji's widow, Mrs. Zou. Sister Jiang Zi specially recommended it to the king."

Cao Shuo looked surprised, no wonder Lao Cao cared so much about Mrs. Zou, killed Dian Wei, and killed Cao Ang. This woman's appearance is really good, comparable to that of Bian Yu'er.

But when Lao Cao met her, Mrs. Zou was nearly forty years old, and now Mrs. Zou is only 25-[-], which is the age of prime and prime.

"but!"

Diao Chan suddenly changed the subject and said, "General Zhang Xiu has a condition. After all, the Zou family belongs to the Zhang family, and he doesn't want the king to make public."

Cao Shuo nodded, keeping quiet, which is good for his reputation, anyway, they seldom go out, just like Mrs. Wu, with so many people in the harem, it is not boring.

"The meritorious officials will be rewarded tonight!"
