Three Kingdoms: Unlimited Premium Gift Pack

However, Liu Yan's answer was far beyond everyone's expectations.

"In this battle of destroying the Five Kingdoms, I will lead an army of [-] and sit in the city of Wandu. On the one hand, I will suppress Goguryeo's people with ulterior motives.

On the other hand, it provides logistical support for expedition soldiers.As for the candidates for the general who will exterminate the Five Kingdoms this time..."

Liu Yan slowly looked at the generals, and finally pointed out the candidate: "Cao Cao, Cao Mengde, Captain of the Cavalry of the Yulin Army!"

Chapter 282 Report to sister-in-law, the victory of Goguryeo

Thank you, Your Majesty!This humble minister is willing to go through fire and water for His Majesty, and die... without saying goodbye! "

To be honest, Cao Cao didn't understand Liu Yanxuan's command to destroy the five kingdoms of Dongyi.

Because, in terms of seniority, status, and martial arts, I am inconspicuous among the nearly hundred generals.

Of course, this does not prevent this "capable minister of governing the world, a traitor in troubled times" from immediately seizing this rare opportunity.

For what reason?

As long as there is a chance to make contributions!

Think about the ancients, Wu Qi killed his wife to seek a general, Wei Qing was able to go from a slave to a general because his sister was favored by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

To put it bluntly, even if Liu Yan gave Cao Cao this opportunity because he fell in love with Cao Cao's sister, or even Cao Cao's... Cao Cao would not hesitate to offer it!

Therefore, as soon as Liu Yan finished speaking, Cao Cao knelt down on the ground without hesitation, expressing his absolute loyalty to Liu Yan and his dedication.

Of course, Liu Yan actually made such a decision not because he wanted Cao Cao to make any sacrifices.

His decision was entirely out of public interest.

The reason is very simple: when it comes to slaughtering cities, Cao Cao is a professional!

There are too many famous officials and generals under Liu Yan's command.However, in terms of cruelty, there is no one on the right side of Cao Cao!

Look at the records about Cao Cao in history.

"Cao Cao attacked and slaughtered Yecheng, and Yuan's wives often invaded!"

"In the fourth year of the Chuping campaign against Tao Qian, Pengcheng, Fu Yang, Qulu, Suiling, and Xiaqiu were slaughtered!"

"Tu Yongqiu in the second year of Xingping!"

"In the third year of Jian'an, Pengcheng was slaughtered!"

"In the ninth year of Jian'an, Yuan Shang was defeated and Yongcheng was slaughtered!"

"In the 12th year of Jian'an, slaughter Liucheng!"

"The 20th year of Jian'an's Western Expedition, slaughtered Hechi!"

Especially in the battle of Cao Cao's massacre of Xuzhou, "Where 10 men and women were killed, there were no chickens and dogs left, and Surabaya was not flown, so it was the city protection of the five counties, and there was no trace of it."

It is not an exaggeration to call such a method "the annihilation of heroes in troubled times"!

To be honest, Liu Yan was deeply dissatisfied with Cao Cao's bloodthirsty.However, having said that, if Cao Cao could be so ruthless in foreign wars, Liu Yan would be happy to see it!

Moreover, according to historical records, Cao Cao had marched thousands of miles, destroyed Wuhuan with great hardships, and beheaded Wuhuan King Tadun.It can be regarded as having made great military exploits against alien races.

No matter from which point of view, it is very appropriate to use Boss Cao to lead the army to destroy the five kingdoms of Dongyi!

Of course, other people don't know what Liu Yan is thinking.They only know that Cao Cao, Cao Mengde, who is inconspicuous among the generals and is only a second-rate general in terms of military strength, has won the favor of the emperor, and Cao Cao, who is favored by the emperor, has suddenly become the general of Zhengdong. Why is this?Why?

In the hearts of the generals, I am really puzzled!

However, if you don't understand it, you don't understand it.

With Liu Yan's authority as the founding emperor, he said that whoever leads the army is the commander, that is whoever leads the army is the commander, and no one dares to express any dissatisfaction.

Liu Yan continued: "Cao Duwei, you are in charge of this battle to destroy the five kingdoms of Dongyi. Wherever you go, if you are willing to surrender to my big man, you will be demoted to slaves. If you are stubborn and stubborn, you will be punished." I will kill all the chickens and dogs. You... do you understand?"

"Follow Your Majesty's will!" Cao Cao said without hesitation.

"Also, I will allocate [-] troops to you this time. However, you have to decide for yourself who will lead the army. Who are you going to take with you? Now, you can choose on the spot. Everything, I will help you decide .”

The implied meaning is that Cao Cao, you are inconspicuous among the generals. Although I will help you back up, you have to be similar. Choose a general who can cooperate with you well and obey your orders.

"Is this..."

Cao Cao thought for a moment, then said: "The five kingdoms of Dongyi are just a small country of Quer, how many warriors can there be? I thought that it would not take many generals to destroy the five kingdoms of Dongyi this time.

It is enough for His Majesty to transfer the two generals Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan, as well as Cao Ren and Cao Hong, the two younger brothers of the minister, to the subordinates of the minister. "

Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan were both Cao Cao's generals. Cao Ren and Cao Zhen were Cao Cao's two younger brothers. Cao Cao commanded without any problem.

"That being said, the strength is too weak." Liu Yan frowned slightly, and said, "Let's do it, Fan Hua!"

"The end is here!"

"I order you to lead Xu Huang, Zhang He, Dian Wei, Zhang Liao, and Guan Yu to serve under Captain Cao. What Captain Cao means is what I mean, and you must not disobey in the slightest! You... understand ?”

"Understood! Follow His Majesty's will."

Fan Hua, a young general of Qu'a, is Liu Yan's brother-in-law and the No. 1 martial artist among the generals, so he has no problem convincing the crowd.

As long as he obeys Cao Cao, the five generals will be fine.

In this way, with Liu Yan's words, Cao Cao has another unparalleled general and five first-class generals under his command, greatly increasing his strength.

Destroying the five kingdoms of Dongyi is as easy as pie!

Even the blind can see Liu Yan's love for Cao Cao.

But why?

"I understand!"

Suddenly, Liu Bei's heart moved, and he suddenly realized!

He thought to himself: What's so great about Cao Cao?

In terms of martial arts and means, how is Cao Cao superior to Liu Bei and Liu Xuande?

Compared with my dear Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan are far behind him!

Obviously, His Majesty let Cao Cao take command not because of his ability, but for other reasons!

What is the reason?

I heard that Cao Cao once introduced a beauty to His Majesty in Wuji County, Zhongshan County, Jizhou.

It seems to be a member of the Wuji Zhen family.

At that time, His Majesty had newly recruited Mi Zhen, a pearl beauty from the Mi family, and was in a hurry to conquer Goguryeo, but he did not see the beauty of the Zhen family.

However, despite this, His Majesty was still very happy, and encouraged Cao Cao with gentle words.

Could it be that His Majesty has looked at Cao Cao differently since then?

Correct!

It must be so!

The widow has a disease, the widow is so good!

Cao Cao actively searched for beauties for His Majesty, and His Majesty gave him this opportunity to make contributions!

That being the case, what about me, Liu Bei?

How should I, Liu Bei, find another way to win His Majesty's favor and promotion?

Got it!

It must be too late to search for beauties for His Majesty now.

However, I can ask the woman beside His Majesty to speak for me!

As long as the woman next to His Majesty praises me half a sentence in front of His Majesty, am I still worried about my success?

By the way, beside His Majesty, who is the woman who speaks the most?

Well, no one in the ruling and opposition circles knows that it is neither the Empress Zou, nor the imperial concubine Diao Chan, nor Mu Guiying, Bian, Gan, Cai Zhaoji, etc., but... Princess Xiao!

That is His Majesty's sister-in-law Xin Wan'er!

Yes, Princess Xiao is here, it is definitely a shortcut for me, Liu Bei, to fly to Huang Tengda!

Thinking of this, Liu Bei coughed lightly, and said, "Your Majesty, I believe that before our army destroys the five kingdoms of Dongyi, there are still things that must be done. This matter is really a top priority."

Liu Yan said: "What's the matter?"

Liu Bei said: "Report the victory! To the court of the Han Dynasty, to the soldiers and civilians all over the world, to the concubines in the harem and Princess Xiao, report my victory in the battle of Goguryeo! It will not only boost the morale of the soldiers and civilians across the country, but also prevent the rear from worrying too much."

Chapter 283 Xin Wan'er, Du Ping'er, Compassionate

Liu Bei intentionally or unintentionally emphasized the tone of the words "Concubine Xiao".

After Liu Yan ascended the throne, he crowned his elder brother as King Xiao, so isn't Xin Wan'er Princess Xiao?

"report a success?"

Liu Yan thought for a while, and said: "There is no need for a large-scale victory. After Cao Duwei completely destroys the five kingdoms, there will be no enemy country on land to the east of my Han Dynasty.

Wouldn't it boost the morale of the military and civilians across the country if we report victory at that time?

Of course, it makes sense for you to say that you should send someone back to report the battle situation, lest the imperial court and even my harem worry too much.Sister-in-law should say something more. "

I will say it!

In His Majesty's mind, the status of sister-in-law Xin Wan'er is completely different from others!

Hearing Liu Yan's words, Liu Bei became more excited, and said: "Since Your Majesty is interested, it should not be too late, and we must send someone to act quickly. Liu Bei, a humble minister, got a horse called Lu, who traveled thousands of miles a day and drove it at night. Go eight hundred. Willing to be the messenger!"

"Is that so..."

Liu Yan frowned slightly, and said: "Liu Aiqing is my minister, and now you are a person who repays victory, isn't it too wronged for you?"

Have I become His Majesty's servant all of a sudden?

In Liu Bei's heart, he became more and more sure that he had taken the right step.

He thought to himself: For His Majesty, there are too many strong generals who can fight for him on the battlefield, and it is not uncommon.

Even if Fan Hua is a unparalleled fierce general, shouldn't he obediently serve under the command of Cao Cao, a second-rate general?

Therefore, if I want to be successful, I must find another way!

Obviously, I just checked and filled in the gaps for His Majesty, so as not to worry too much about the beauties in the harem and Princess Xiao, I am very kind to Your Majesty!

So, if Princess Xiao is willing to praise me Liu Bei in front of His Majesty, what will happen?

Liu Bei was full of emotion, nodded again and again, and said: "No wrong! No wrong! Your Majesty has a lot of talents here, and there is nothing that I can use as a humble minister. But Lu, who is a humble minister, has a little foot strength, so he is ready to serve His Majesty!"

"In this case, Liu Aiqing is here to help."

"Willing to serve His Majesty!"

Later, Liu Bei received the document of victory, rode a Luba horse, and galloped towards Luoyang City.

……

Five days later, in Luoyang City, in Prince Xiao's Mansion.

Prince Xiao's Mansion was originally the mansion of the Great General of the Han Dynasty.

After continuous repairs by Dou Xian, Liang Ji, He Jin and other generals, this mansion is really beautiful and magnificent, it can be called the mansion second only to the imperial palace.

After Liu Yan ascended the throne, the system of three provinces and six ministries was adopted, and the court no longer had generals.This mansion was directly changed by Liu Yan to Prince Xiao's mansion.

King Xiao has been dead for nearly 30 years.

The owner of such a beautiful and magnificent mansion is actually a widow—Princess Xiao Xin Wan'er.

At this moment, in an elegant small courtyard of Prince Xiao's Mansion, under the vine.

Two beautiful women are playing chess.

The woman on the left is about eighteen or nineteen years old. She has an oval face, a high nose bridge, picturesque eyebrows, and black hair like waterfalls. Coupled with that plain and elegant white palace dress, she is really breathtakingly beautiful.The slight sadness on her face could break the heart of any man.

The woman on the right looks less than 30 years old, with a melon-shaped face, pointed chin, willow eyebrows and almond eyes, full of bookishness, proud and intellectual, elegant and dignified.

Don't get me wrong, the woman on the right who looks less than thirty is not Liu Yan's sister-in-law Xin Wan'er.

In fact, the woman on the left who looks eighteen or nineteen years old, at the best age for a woman, is Liu Yan's sister-in-law Xin Wan'er——
