[Comprehensive] The days when I pretended to be a meow in the Forbidden City

It was dawn, and the members of the Yellow Turban Army had just woken up, and today they were about to carry out the harassment task assigned by their superiors.

Just as Cao Ang guessed, the task of this team is to hold back the grain and grass transportation in Dongjun. Although their number is several times that of Dongjun's defenders, most of them are ordinary people who have never been on the battlefield. Farmers, that is to say, this branch is completely a paper tiger, threatening people by relying on the fact that they can't see them from the Far East County.

There are even some farmers who couldn't help but pull out the weeds when they saw the farmland reclaimed by Dongjun outside. The livestock were also taken away, so it seemed that the overturned car was a bit strange, and it could be turned, but it seemed extremely laborious.

This made the Yellow Turban Army study for a long time.

On this day, they had to walk around the range of Cao Jun holding the baffles as usual, and then retreated quickly. Everyone took turns. In the past three days, they have roughly measured Cao Jun's shooting scope.

It's just that Cao Jun seems to be a little slack these days, and sometimes he lazily shoots a few arrows when he sees them getting close.

Such an attitude made Guan Cheng, the leader of the Yellow Turban Army, a little moved. According to Cao Jun's relaxed attitude, it is not impossible to attack by force.

Maybe he can win a city?

This is great work!

Just when the leader was enjoying himself and dreaming about the beauty of being promoted and making a fortune, he suddenly heard the sound of breaking through the air, and the Yellow Turban Army raised his head casually, only to see huge fireballs falling from the sky and land behind them, dodging Those who failed to reach were killed on the spot.

The Yellow Turban Army looked in horror at the burning stones that had fallen to the ground, and the strange black liquid that was sticking to their comrades and was still burning, and screamed in horror.

At the same time, the next batch of falling rocks also arrived. This time the landing point was obviously more precise, directly destroying the tents they built. This group of people were untrained farmers. They thought that a safe place was suddenly attacked. In an instant, they became chaotic and scattered and fled in all directions.

Countless people were trampled and injured for a while.

Even if the general kills a few people on the spot, it is useless to stand up. The sudden sky fire is too terrifying. Even if they know that the front is within the range of Cao Ying, the threat of being smashed to death by the sky fire or being burned to death still forces them to move forward. flee.

Three hundred steps.

Two hundred steps.

The defenders of Dongjun City raised their bows and crossbows one after another.

In order to achieve the goal at once, Xia Anran took out all the crossbows in the warehouse. The continuous crossbows he made before have been improved. Although they still can't achieve the stability of the feathered arrows, the shooting speed has been improved. significantly improved.

At the same time, after Xia Anran strongly demanded standardization, the new batch of bows and crossbows produced basically guaranteed the same data and the versatility of the arrow clips.

Yes, it is the arrow clip, named by Xia Anran, the original name was given by the craftsman in charge, it is very lengthy, a bunch of attributives that Xia Anran understands but does not understand, Xia Anran joined Cao Jun because of staring at the catapult this time The ordnance manufacturing battalion in the country also saw the modified crossbow.

According to his previous suggestion, the direction of transformation did not go towards precision. After all, the design of the Liannu was originally designed to pursue portability and fast operation, but gave up precision.

When defending a city, what matters is quantity rather than quality.

Therefore, the modified Liannu has improved the firing speed, the cheapness of replacing the arrow clips, and even because the main function is to defend the city, the number of arrows it can carry has also increased a lot.

When there is no arrow clip, you can also manually put arrows into the arrow compartment.

And because of this particularity, not only arrows can be put in the arrow clip, but also wooden sticks of similar size can be put in, and there can be a steady stream of substitutes when necessary.

The use of such a ballista does not require the traditional three teams of the ballista team to shoot in turn. A team only needs one soldier to be responsible for recovering and loading the replaced arrow clips.

Like ordinary crossbow machines, the modified Jingxi Liannu (yes, it is called this shameful name!) is also equipped with lookout mountains, but its lookout mountains are specially adjusted by researchers, because of the special arrows. Sex, and ordinary crossbows are not universal.

After the reconstruction, the launch and reload speeds are almost comparable to ordinary bows and arrows.

This battle of defending the city is the first time this crossbow machine has appeared.

The commander was Sun Ce. The young general had sharper dynamic eyesight than others. After seeing the range of the crossbow, he already had a rough idea of ​​the effective range.

Don't worry, the prey may turn around at any time.

The handsome young man narrowed his eyes slightly, and his face, which always had a smile on it, was extremely serious at this moment. He estimated in his heart that soon, most of the people had entered the range circle, and those who ran faster at the front After the person enters the dangerous distance.

He raised the flag in his hand.

All of a sudden, all the crossbowmen and archers around him were in place.

hands down.

The red flag drew a very obvious arc in the air, accompanied by arrows falling like rain.

At this time, the Yellow Turban Army realized that they had stepped into the attack range of Cao Jun. The people in front hurriedly stopped and wanted to retreat, but they were quickly squeezed and trampled by the crowd coming from behind, and the people behind were also aware of the situation immediately. It's not good, but there are falling rocks approaching step by step behind, and arrow rain in front. Even if there are lucky ones who can retreat without the oppression of others behind them, they soon find that they have been forced to within the range covered by an archer. , it takes a full twenty steps to evacuate this distance.

How fast can a man run twenty paces at full speed?Can it match the speed of an arrow?

What's more, from the very beginning, the way to retreat has been blocked, and falling rocks are pressing every step of the way. Although they are no longer burning flints like they were at first, they can't stand even ordinary rocks.

The Yellow Turban Army is just an ordinary farmer, marked by a yellow cloth scarf wrapped around their head. Since it is just a cloth scarf, how can it resist the falling rocks with the acceleration of gravity?

A few clever yellow turban soldiers quickly found the blind spot for attack, which is the edge of the wall. This position is the blind spot of the archer above. Even if he sees the enemy directly below, for an archer, he thinks about shooting arrows directly below. It is their very uncomfortable posture. When there are other enemies, the general archers will abandon the enemy directly below.

There is nothing wrong in theory, but they don't know that among the soldiers left behind by Cao Jun, in addition to archers, there are also crossbowmen.

For the crossbowman, it makes no difference to shoot in any direction.

The number of the Yellow Turban Army was decreasing at a speed that they could not imagine at all, and even in the end they couldn't tell what kind of attack their own people died under.

There were also many people who risked being hit by the trebuchet and ran towards several open spaces after seeing the fall of the trebuchet in an attempt to escape. They did succeed.

The heavy trebuchet is inconvenient to turn, especially the current trebuchet has only been roughly modified, and there is no steering function.

But when they ran out of the rockfall area, they saw more than ten thousand Cao troops in full armor.

Being able to see Cao Jun here, there is no doubt that their plan has failed.

Could it be that our hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turbans were all defeated by Cao's army of only 1?

This is impossible!

Even though he thought so, the general of the Yellow Turban Army knelt down and surrendered, and handed over his weapon very obediently, and knelt down on the ground with his head in his hands. After him, he quickly fell to his knees.

Soldiers cleaned up the battlefield at the gate of the city, and the gate of Dongjun, which had been blocked for more than ten days, was opened. Xun Yu, Cao Ang, Sun Ce, Xia Anran and others who were in charge of guarding the city all went out of the city to welcome Cao Cao who had returned from the great victory.

Regarding the congratulatory gift from the Yellow Turban Army for returning to the city, Cao Cao happily recorded the number of heads and prepared to show his merits to Chang'an. As he entered the city, he praised Xun Yu for his hard work in defending the city, and then patted Sun Ce on the shoulder, "Bo Fu commanded very well." , The timing is excellent." He also praised the eldest son for being fearless in the face of danger, and for his meritorious service in recommending him.

Finally, I ordered Xia Anran, "Jingxi, oh Jingxi."

Xia Anran had a cute face.

Seeing him like this, Cao Cao was a little dumb for a moment, he looked at Xun Yu, who nodded to him, saying that I know what you are thinking, I am the same as you.

For a moment, Cao Cao felt like he had found a confidant.

Yesterday, his younger brother Cao Chun entered the army tent with a strange expression on his face, and Cao Cao, who rushed to rescue after learning that his main city was besieged, heard from Cao Chun that Xia Anran had invented a new trebuchet that could be thrown About five hundred steps.

This distance is already a distance that has never been heard before. Cao Cao knew about the trebuchet left in Dongjun, but he never thought that Xia Anran would modify the trebuchet, and he took it out when he was in danger. Can't the boy take it out earlier?

If he had known that Dongjun had this weapon, he wouldn't have to turn around to rescue him in a hurry.

At the same time, he thought of two people who advised him not to rush back: Cao Chun and Guo Jia.

These two people who are closely related to Xia Anran seem to know about the situation in Dongjun, and instead advised him, the lord, not to take care of the back, the danger of Dongjun can be solved by Xun Yu.

It's just that Cao Cao, who finally got his own territory, didn't accept it. He was concerned about the counselors and family members who stayed in Dongjun, so he resolutely gave up chasing the leader of the bandits, abandoned his first work, and turned to rescue.

For his decision, Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai didn't persuade him any more. After all, although they believed in Xun Wenruo's ability, they were not worried about their friends and family members in Dongjun.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived at the prefect's mansion, everyone took off their coats and sat down. They saw Cao Cao bowing down to Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai. They were so frightened that they stood up and avoided.

"My lord, why is this?" Guo Jia followed Cao Cao earlier than Xi Zhicai, so naturally he spoke first at this time, and saw him hiding behind Xun Yu with a frightened expression on his face.

Cao Cao followed the trend and bowed in the direction of Xun Yu, but Xun Yu, who was pulled by Guo Jia, failed to dodge smoothly, and felt very bewildered when he accepted the salute abruptly.

Seeing that Cao Cao looked relaxed after paying homage, he said to the counselors in the tent very sincerely, "Before, Cao Cao didn't listen to the words of filial piety from his son and Tong, and rashly returned to defense. I don't believe Wen Ruo's suspicion, so I apologize to the two gentlemen."

When asked, Guo Jia showed a dumbfounding expression. Seeing that Cao Cao had stood still, he walked out from behind Xun Yu, and said back to Cao Cao, "You don't need to be like this, my lord. Dongjun, not to mention that the lord wants to return to the defense, it is also to protect our relatives and friends, the lord has a kind heart, we should appreciate it."

Xun Yu also comforted, "My lord is away on an expedition. Hearing this news, I couldn't help being nervous. Besides, my lord doesn't know about Jingxi's improvement of the catapult, so I naturally use common theories to judge military affairs. Why don't you believe in Yu's theory?"

That's right, in the final analysis, everyone didn't know that Xia Anran's improved catapult was a mess.

Xia Anran:? ? ? ? ?

Xia Anran: Your rulers and ministers have to hold hands to see each other, so you want to blame me?Isn't it a bit too spicy! ! !

But he felt that he couldn't afford to offend anyone in the room, especially the person above him was his man's eldest brother besides the lord. Cough, the happiness of life in the future would depend on Boss Cao's wishes, there was no way.

"It's Anran's mistake." Xia Anran said dejectedly, with her hands on her head and her head bowed, with a cute expression of [I know I'm wrong],

"No, Jingxi is right."

Unexpectedly, Cao Cao did not use this to go downhill. Instead, he pondered for a moment and said, "It was a mistake."

The room was silent, Xia Anran raised her head in astonishment, and saw Xun Yu sitting on the couch, her eyes were clear and the corners of her lips were slightly raised.

Looking at Guo Jia again, he was playing with the goose feather fan in his hand, tilted his head slightly, his eyes fell on the front, saw Xia Anran's confused eyes, and winked mischievously at him, obviously in a good mood.

Looking at Xi Zhicai and Zhong Yao again, they both had smiles on their faces, obviously they understood.

Am I the only one who doesn't understand?

He looked up at Cao Cao, and saw the latter looking at him with gentle eyes, and said with a slight smile

"Jingxi doesn't need to change, I will trust you in the future."

Xia Anran's pupils dilated slightly due to surprise, Cao Cao smiled more gently when he saw this, he simply stepped down on the bed, walked in front of Xia Anran, bent down and dragged Xia Anran's arms to lift him up.

He stared fixedly at the young man in front of him.

In his heart, although Xia Anran was also his counselor, but because he was still a young boy and a junior when the two met, his personality was a bit softer, and he was usually obedient.Therefore, he treats people more as nephews than counselors.

He knew that Jingxi was talented.

He knew that Jingxi had ambitions.

only……

After all, they underestimated him.

This was no longer the Xia Anran who winked and said she was going to cook pigs for the great hero, but Xia Jingxi, who was crowned at only 17 years old.

It was Xia Jingxi who built his strong defense together with Xun Yu.

"Jingxi."

"My lord?"

Looking at Xia Anran's inexplicable face, Cao Cao patted him on the shoulder, "You did a good job. This battle is my fault. In the future, I will change it."

"Believe me and wait. Believe it to the end. No more doubts."

As he spoke, he bowed to the counselors, "I also invite you to continue to lend a helping hand in the future."

"My lord, be polite. This is our duty."

Xun Yu bowed to Cao Cao, and everyone followed him.

For a while, the atmosphere of the chief ministers under Cao Cao's tent was unprecedentedly harmonious.

Only then did Xia Anran understand what Cao Cao meant.

The meaning is probably: From now on, if you want to wander casually, my lord, I will accompany you?

He shouldn't have misunderstood it, shouldn't he?

Xia Anran blinked, showing a satisfied expression.

Although the leader of the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou was let go in this battle, after all, Cao Cao wiped out the forces of the surrounding Yellow Turban Army. The stage of leaderless dragons.

It's just that there is no local Chen Gong in Cao Ying at this time, so Cao Cao didn't bother with this paralyzed bad debt, he was busy with his own affairs.

After defeating the Yellow Turban Army, he confiscated a large amount of food and labor.

The Yellow Turban Army who surrendered was quickly incorporated and dispersed into various battalions.

For those who know how to farm and are willing to farm, Cao Cao gave them wasteland, provided them with seeds, farm tools, and daily meals, but only required them to pay [-]% of their income as taxes.

In addition to this tax, the tax in the Eastern Han Dynasty itself is much higher, but after all, all the raw materials are given by Cao Cao, and everyone has agreed that this tax is paid for five years, and after five years, the land will be owned by the farmers. .Future taxes will be based on national standards.

It can be said that as long as you work for Cao Cao for five years, you can get a piece of land for nothing.

And you can apply for as many lands as you want, as long as the Shangguan confirms that this condition is met, the planting will be released.

In other words, after five years of hard work, it is possible to become a small landlord and settle down in Yanzhou!

There were quite a few Yellow Turban soldiers who were recruited by this favorable condition. When they arrived at the scene, they found that these wastelands were not particularly desolate. Before that, Xia Anran had already had people rough reclamation on them and sprinkled them with alfalfa seeds.

These alfalfas will last for one year in the spring of this year. Although they are not very fat, this can be seen from the fact that Dodoma is not very willing to eat those grasses, but the purpose of planting alfalfas is to fertilize the field. It is to use the deep roots of alfalfa to loosen the soil at the bottom.

The difference between wasteland and farmland lies in its compacted soil and the long-term lack of soil erosion caused by plant root clumping. No matter how intensively cultivated such land is in the past few years, the harvest will not be much.

The new farmers reached out and dug a few handfuls of soil where weeds were planted, only to find that the soil was much looser than they had imagined, and the color of the land was not a pale color that was completely devoid of nutrition.

Seeing their reactions, a few undercover officials immediately knew that they were real farmers. In fact, while they were responsible for bringing people to see the land, they were also responsible for monitoring and judging whether these people were ordinary farmers. "This is alfalfa, which is planted to fertilize the field. When you go to the field in spring, you can give us these alfalfa."

The eyes of the farmers immediately lit up, and the clerk added that 1 jun of hay can be exchanged for 1 jin of salt.

This price is not very cost-effective, it was set by Xun Yu, and he said to the wide-eyed Xia Anran at that time, "Dou Mien, promote Mi Qiu."

Xia Anran nodded to show that he was educated, and realized that his previous thoughts were too naive. He decided to learn from the locals, and he must follow suit in the future. This seemingly harsh price was set.

In fact, the peasants who surrendered to the Yellow Turban Army did not feel that the price was inappropriate at all, on the contrary they were extremely happy.

They originally needed to plow the land when they reclaimed the wasteland, but now the crops that are plowed can be exchanged for salt for nothing after drying, which is not a loss at all.

And the news spread faster than the farmers under the Yellow Turban Army who were familiar with the site, and I don’t know how it was done. The news spread to the surrounding towns, and some farmers who lost their land also came to Dongjun , expressed his willingness to work for Cao Cao for five years, just to have a meal for these five years.

All of a sudden, the population of Dongjun County, which had been lost due to the war before Cao Cao's arrival, was almost replenished in just one month.

But Cao Cao has no time to be happy about it now. He was catching the pie falling from the sky and was smashed for no reason. one.

Both the letter of appointment and the official seal have been sent to the Dongjun prefect's mansion.

After inquiring, I found out that on the question of who was the governor of Yanzhou before, the aristocratic families almost broke their heads and tore it apart. Whoever was nominated would find out his black material. After several visits, the nominated Everyone quit.

Although it is indeed tempting to be the governor of a place, no one can be happy if his history is turned black for no reason!

Especially when things like urinating in a certain water tank when I was a child were found out, I don't want to lose face!

After doing this several times, the aristocratic family found that the governor of Yanzhou had become a hot post, and no one was willing to take it.

They originally wanted to make a time difference, before news of the death of Liu Dai, the former governor of Yanzhou, pushed their own people up, lest the imperial court send people down, but if they dragged on, the imperial court would definitely get the news.

In this way, as soon as everyone discussed it, they decided on two people, Zhang Miao, who was known as a hero, and Cao Cao, a newcomer.

Needless to say, Zhang Miao was nominated by Dong Zhuo, but he started by criticizing the eunuch dictatorship and speaking for the common people. His reputation in the local area is very good, but the key point is that Chenliu, where he was stationed, was less than a year old. Was ransacked twice.

Once by Dong Zhuojun, and the other time by the Yellow Turban Army. These two times showed that his army was weak. On the contrary, Cao Cao, who was not born well, first forced Dong Zhuo to retreat with Yuan Shao and Sun Jian, and then sent troops to support Yingchuan. , and now the Yellow Turban Army has been beaten to the ground. No matter how you look at the performance in the recent stage, Cao Cao is an overwhelming victory.

And another key point is that Cao Cao's birth was not good.

At this time, his birth has become an advantage.

Because of his bad birth, it means that if he settles in Yanzhou, he will have to rely on the family, and in the process, the family can get greater benefits.

There is a common saying in later generations, which is called: a family made of iron, an emperor of flowing water.

It means that, to some extent, the aristocratic family controls the imperial power, and the changes of many dynasties are related to the aristocratic family.

In order to obtain talents and prevent all talents from nobles, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty used the recommendation system, that is, each state and county has the right to recommend talents from the area under its jurisdiction to be officials, and the number of people who can be recommended is not limited according to the situation of each state and county. same.

However, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, due to land annexation and the strengthening of aristocratic family's control over the local area, the right to recommend was also in the hands of the aristocratic family in a disguised form. Talents had to become the confidants of the aristocratic family before they had the chance to be recommended.

Although this is not [-]%, but even if only one person is a member of the aristocratic family in a year, there will be more and more people increasing year by year.

In order to curb this situation, and because the power of the aristocratic family gradually declined, in the period of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, he added sub-subject examinations on the basis of the recommendation system, and after Emperor Yangdi, the embryonic form of the imperial examination system gradually came into being. It violated the interests of the aristocratic family, and later generations also commented that the imperial examination system is likely to be a certain pressure exerted by the aristocratic family when the Sui Dynasty fell. Although it was not the main reason, the dissatisfaction of the aristocratic family at that time was inevitable.

Every dynasty in the later generations used the imperial examination system, and every time the dynasty opened, it defaulted to killing the previous generation's family and returning the land to the people. This is also a factor.

Until modern times, they simply took the bottom from the pot and adopted the state-owned system of land. This can be said to be a pioneering work that has never been done in the past dynasties. Whether it can successfully contain the aristocratic family... can only be evaluated by future generations.

But in today's dynasty, it is impossible to contain the aristocratic family, especially the founding monarch and ministers.

Wasn't it just to shelter future generations by following the emperor and throwing his head and blood?

As for whether the future generations can live up to expectations, it can only depend on the family education.

When these people revolted because they deeply hated the family and the oppression of the imperial power, they themselves would also become the family and imperial power that oppressed others. It has to be said that it is also an extremely ironic thing.

And Xun Yu, who was born in an aristocratic family, naturally knows what these people think very well.

As soon as he got the news, he showed a mocking expression.

So is Cao Cao.

They didn't want to get involved in the big trouble of Yanzhou, but since someone wants to pinch them as soft persimmons...it would be too rude not to give them a little return.

The counselors under Cao Cao's account were all gearing up and thinking about how to teach the family a lesson when the lord took Yanzhou completely, and Xia Anran was also gearing up to look at the map of the entire Yanzhou.

The easternmost point of Yanzhou borders Chenggao. Cao Cao will no longer live in Dongjun when he becomes the governor of Yanzhou, but will live in the governor's mansion further west. As one of the beloved counselors, Xia Anran will of course follow him , although he can't let go of the winter wheat that is now on his farm, Cao Cao has promised to give him another big manor after seeing his reluctant attitude.

"I want to stay with Zihe." Xia Anran put forward her own small request, "I want Cengzi and Ma to go to the office together."

Hearing this, Cao Cao shook his head and pointed at him, "Jingxi, you clearly know how to ride a horse, so why do you want to make love?"

Of course it is to let you get used to it naturally!

Ever since Xia Anran and Cao Chun confirmed their relationship, the previous horse-drawn carriage became him sitting on the back of Cao Chun's horse, and the two came to work together, but for some reason, no one asked him why two people rode on one horse. horse.

No one asked him why he only took such a short route, and why Cao Chun always took a detour to pick him up and go back together.

Everyone seemed to think that this was normal, and Xia Anran, who wanted to boil frogs in warm water, was a little bit embarrassed.

Until he found out that Xun Yu obviously had a wife, but occasionally he would go to Guo Jia's house to sleep together, and occasionally he would share the bed with Xi Zhicai.

Will stay away all night with Zhong Yao...

Similarly, Cao Cao will also, it seems that several of them will stay at other people's homes, except Xia Anran.

Afterwards, he and Cao Chun swam arm in arm...but found that Cao Cao often went up to the city wall arm in arm with one of his favorite ministers to look at the map, and when it came to rising, he held hands to look at each other.

So Xia Anran began to prepare love lunch boxes for Cao Chun, and asked Cao Chun to bring a meal. As a result, except for Guo Jia who also wanted him to bring a copy, everyone still didn't think there was anything wrong.

Of course they don't think there's anything wrong with it!Obviously it is a meal sharing system, but Guo Jia always secretly eats the delicacies and wines on other people's plates by talking to others, and the rest of the people will naturally not suffer.

She obviously wanted to show her affection but was always shown by these straight men, Xia Anran was almost out of anger.

On the contrary, Cao Chun has been very calm, Xia Anran would accompany him if he wanted to do so, his posture was extremely relaxed, seeing his partner's sullen look, he just smiled and patted his head, "Don't worry about this."

"Ok?"

"Brother's character, purely knows." Cao Chun poured a cup of barley tea for Xia Anran, and the two sat face to face in the hall to drink together. Below the hall were soldiers packing their luggage. These people were Cao Chun's personal soldiers. Cao Cao was close After contacting him at the first stage, he realized that Xia Anran was a treasure, and his things did not dare to be touched by ordinary servants. He wanted to send his own personal guards, but was stopped by Cao Chun. Since then, Cao Chun's personal guards Part of it was given to Xia Anran.

Of course, Cao Chun's original words were referring to the lord's safety as the most important thing, which should not be ignored, let alone divide troops with Jingxi.

And Cao Chun's movement is naturally smaller.Cao Mengde was so moved that he held his younger brother's hand, thinking that it was his brother sharing his worries, but he didn't know that it was actually his younger brother's territorial consciousness.

Cao Chun smiled in the warm winter sun, but his cold eyes were like melting winter snow. He said to his partner, "Just leave this matter to Chun."

Xia Anran nodded, knowing the extent of his man's black hands, he coughed lightly, and said subtly, "Actually, there is no need to rush."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Cao Chun put down his cup and smiled very kindly at him, but his handsome face was a little dark, "Jingxi thinks... don't worry?"

Xia Anran shook his head abruptly, and coughed lightly, "This is Jingxi's duplicity, in fact, I really want to be with my son and my name." He said shyly, "Cough, this is Jingxi's first time, so it's a bit awkward. "

Cao Chun lowered his eyes slightly, "It's not the first time."

"Ok?"

His hand was gently held by someone, "You and I have paid obeisance to the church, confessed to heaven and earth, and signed the marriage certificate."

--when?

Xia Anran almost wanted to ask this question, but he soon realized the answer.

He looked at Cao Chun's eyes fixed on him, but his throat was full of sobs.

An answer that he didn't dare to ask before was placed in front of him.

Shen Qi, after his death, was still married to him.

What this means, of course Xia Anran knew, he lowered his eyes slightly, his eyelashes trembling violently, and then held Cao Chun's hand back, "Okay, the second time, I will worship with you."

The atmosphere between the two was just right, and a small soldier came to report suddenly, but it was Cao Cao who summoned him.

Summoned at this time?The two were a little puzzled, and rushed to the hall, and saw Cao Cao excitedly said to them, "Cao received an order from His Majesty to order Cao Cao and Wang Situ to punish Dong thief together."

Xia Anran was taken aback, and calculated the time. It is now the late spring of 192. It seems that the major events in this world still follow the historical line?Dong Zhuo was indeed killed by Lu Bu this year.

He was suddenly excited. If, if Cao Cao went to Beijing to hand over the thieves, wouldn't that mean that he might meet Diao Chan?

Leaving aside whether Diao Chan is a person's name or a position, no matter what, there is a stunning beauty who can seduce Lu Bu!

His excited appearance was particularly conspicuous among a group of frowned-eyed advisers, so conspicuous that Cao Cao could see him at a glance.Seeing him like this, Cao Cao was a little curious. Since he had decided to regard Xia Anran as a qualified counselor, he directly asked Ce, "What is Jingxi thinking?"

Xia Anran was startled by the sudden roll call, but he didn't panic. He rolled his eyes and asked first, "Dare to ask my lord, did your majesty tell us how to cooperate with Wang Situ?"

"No, this is also where Cao Cao was puzzled." Cao Cao frowned, but seeing Xia Anran smiled slightly, he nodded to him to tell him not to be tricky, and to speak quickly.

"If Anran's guess is correct." Xia Anran said an answer based on his judgment based on later generations, "Wang Situ wants to assassinate Dong Zhuo."

"Assassination?"

Everyone in the hall showed astonished expressions. It has to be said that this is an extremely bold guess. The reason why it is bold is that the warriors who assassinated Dong Zhuo have never stopped until now.

From the beginning of Cao Cao, to Xun You, Xun Yu's nephew who was recently imprisoned by Dong Zhuo, there must be a lot that everyone knows and doesn't know.If he really wanted to assassinate Dong Zhuo, he would naturally do it in secret. Why did Emperor Xian come to Cao Cao?Isn't this something that needs to be kept secret?

No, strictly speaking, the awareness of secrecy in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty was extremely lacking. There can’t be more incidents like this. The most recent is the news that Xun You wanted to assassinate, and the farthest is the location of Yuan Shao’s granary in the future battle of Guandu. leaked.

Xia Anran has a lot of problems in his heart, but the locals don't feel this way. After Xia Anran mentioned the possibility, they have already started to make extended guesses. After Xia Anran just started, they Soon, they discussed all the way and came to a conclusion-Wang Yunding had found a warrior and was absolutely sure that he would come to Cao Cao for cooperation.

They wanted Cao Cao to lead the army to stabilize the situation of the Xiliang army after Dong Zhuo was assassinated.

This is too much to think highly of Cao Jun.

Cao Cao, who has just entered Yanzhou, has not yet fully grasped the military power.

Because the former governor of Yanzhou ran out of the city by himself and was beheaded. After his death, the Yanzhou army quickly retreated to the city and did not suffer major damage. Therefore, the little emperor may think that Cao Cao has many soldiers to use...

This... It is true that the entire army of Yanzhou has a lot of troops, but firstly, Cao Cao has not digested and subdued these people in time, and secondly, if he brings these troops into Chang'an, I am afraid that they will receive news before they arrive in Chang'an .

And in the final analysis, these are just Xia Anran's guesses (Xia Anran: No, I only said one sentence and the rest are all made up by your imagination!) It is still unknown whether this is the case.

But aside from other things, no matter whether Wang Yun is successful or not, or what they want to do, Cao Cao will definitely enter Beijing by order.

In this way, the most urgent task is to subdue the Yanzhou forces first.

This is not an easy task. At this time, Cao Cao's army strength is 2 soldiers who followed him to make a fortune, plus about [-] yellow scarf troops who have subdued. This matter is not something that can be solved simply by fighting.

They don't have much time, because they don't know what Wang Yun is going to do and when to do it, they must lead the army to arrive as soon as possible.

This matter is the field of generals, and several suggestions put forward by the counselors have been rejected one by one. In fact, according to the thinking of Cao Ren, Xia Houyuan and others, it is better to beat them up directly. They are all generals.

But this suggestion was quickly dismissed, time-consuming and labor-intensive, with low returns.

The two sides began to debate immediately, but neither could convince the other.

At this moment, Xia Anran suddenly let out a soft "ah". Seeing his voice, Xun Yu, who had been silent before, cast a puzzled look. Xia Anran paused, and confirmed with him, "That is to say, We need to use the fastest method, with the least loss, to get the support and approval of Yanzhou people... right?"

He got Xun Yu's confirmed answer, then Xia Anran thought about it, and quietly made a small suggestion.

After he finished speaking, the audience fell into silence.

It's night, the end of spring is when the days are short and the nights are long. Tonight is another full moon. The clear moonlight is scattered on the ground, and you can barely see.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty when there was a shortage of combustibles, except for the big families, farmers had no nightlife. Therefore, when the moon was in the sky, Changyi City had already fallen into a tranquil state.

But at this time, a group of people quietly walked out from the city of Changyi, the capital of Yanzhou. They climbed over the wall on a ladder.

This group of people ran into a wheat field between the city walls. The winter wheat planted last year had recovered after a spring. At this time, some people were almost knee-high. The guards on the wall could not see them.

This group of people gathered together, chirping and confirming the plan again, and then got busy in the wheat field with wooden boards and cotton threads.

This busy work did not stop until Yin Shizhong, the group of people gathered together again, gestured a few times, and finally ran to the edge of the city to meow a few times, a ladder was put down on the city wall, and the few of them died. The shape is extremely flexible, and only one who is a little clumsy has successfully climbed the ladder with the help of his partner.

At Maoshi, the morning light was breaking and the roosters were crowing. It was another ordinary morning.

Yanzhou, who was on defense, climbed up the city tower, and they wanted to change their colleagues on night duty to go down to the city to rest. As soon as they got on the city wall, they realized something was wrong.

The usually quiet city wall was extremely noisy at this time, and their colleagues who should have been extremely exhausted were extremely excited at this time, and even raised them together and yelled.

The guards in the upper city frowned fiercely when they saw this, and were extremely dissatisfied with their attitude. As soon as they walked to these colleagues, they were pulled by an excited man and pointed to the distance for him to see.

what to see?

The guard frowned, but he couldn't refuse his colleagues, so he could only look at him from a distance in an extremely perfunctory manner.

Just this one look made him dumbfounded.

He saw that in the wheat field not far away, in the green wheat field where there was nothing when he went down to the city last night, two big seal scripts appeared overnight.

It is the word [Han] and the word [Xing].

Yes, it is God... a miracle!

This man could read some characters, so he knew that this was not an ordinary pattern, and the guard who thought he was calm fell to his knees with a plop.

The author has something to say: Well, ahem, don’t be afraid when you see the city guarding. It’s common in the Three Kingdoms to defend the city. If the author says he’s good in the Three Kingdoms, he’s sure to be He.

Today we will talk about the family.

This one and several of the following ones are all about family.

First of all, although there was an autocratic monarchy in ancient Chinese history, strictly speaking, the true autocracy was basically concentrated in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.In particular, Qing is the most important. I haven't studied the Yuan Dynasty, so it should be okay.

For the remaining dynasties, Qin, Han, Sui and Tang Dynasties can be said to be "the king and the family rule the world together."

Aristocratic family is not a derogatory term, and aristocratic family is not an upstart. In addition to being rich and powerful, they are also responsible for educating the people, persuading farmers, and providing disaster relief. The messy things in the novels of Ming and Qing Dynasties will happen (the few families in Dream of the Red Chamber cannot be regarded as aristocratic families)

The family chooses the king, and the king also chooses the family, but the family status of the family is the priority, so generally when there are a few outstanding princes, the family will disperse their forces to ensure that they can continue smoothly in the end. The chestnut that everyone is most familiar with is the Zhuge family .

Zhuge Liang and his younger brother are with Liu Bei, and Cao Cao and Sun Quan each have a Zhuge.

They are all relatives, so it happened in history that Sun Quan (bear boy) tied up one Zhuge and threatened another Zhuge==, but he was resolutely rejected.Now that they have become enemies, they will not show mercy... Of course, they will give priority to helping in trivial matters. For example, the cooperation between Sun and Liu was facilitated by the two Zhuge.

The Xun family belongs to the minority. Both Xun Yu and Xun You joined Cao Cao's team. This is a sense of standing in line
