Chapter 289: Peach Blossom Land in Nanshan (I)

"Dong Xiping went to Hanzhong"

Cao Cao sat in the hall of Puyang County Government, opened his mouth in surprise, looked at me and asked, "What are Dong Xiping doing in Hanzhong?"

Yes, Dong Qi entered Hanzhong from Ziwu Road, which was beyond everyone's expectations.

Although Cao Cao did not foolishly think that Dong Qi could retake Liangzhou now, in his opinion, he was not familiar with Hanzhong and Dong Qi was now targeting public criticism. It seems that there is no need to provoke Yizhou, which did not threaten him.

But if you think about it carefully, Dong Qi really seems to have no place to go.

The four counties in Hexi were occupied by Qiang rebels. Ma Teng and Zhang Miao joined forces with 100,000 troops, but they could not get the power of the country.

However, Sili could not gain a foothold, and it would be difficult to reach Shuofang. It would not be easy to break through Li Jue's tens of thousands of troops.

The only choice is Hanzhong.

Hanzhong connects Liangzhou and Yizhou, and with this as the foundation, when conquering Wudu, he can occupy the Hehuang area in the southwest and recuperate.

Moreover, Hanzhong is now very chaotic.

Liu Yan and Su Gu turned against each other and became enemies. At the same time, the prefect of Jianwei Zhao Qian and Yizhou joined forces with Jia Long to oppose Liu Yan's rule, which seemed to be difficult for even Yizhou to ensure safety.

Is Dong Chi going to take advantage of troubled waters?

After leaving, Cao Cao turned his attention to Guo Jia and others.

"What do you guys think?"

Guo Jia did not rush to speak, but instead humbly focused his attention on the people sitting on Cheng Yuyiji and others.

As a backward and Cao's camp, Guo Jia is very good at being a human being.

He was deeply trusted by Cao Cao, but he did not show any arrogant and noble attitude. He always seemed very low-key most of the time. It is precisely because of this that Cheng Yuyiji and others had a good impression of him and had no rejection.

Cheng Yu smiled: "I don't know Dong Qi very much, so I'd better say it."

"yes!"

Cao Cao laughed and said, "You don't have to be humble to be filial. Among the people here, except me, you are the only one who knows the Martial Martial Artsman best."

Guo Jia pondered for a moment, closed the folding fan in fear, and knocked on the palm of his hand.

"Yizhou, Hanzhong, seems chaotic, but it may not be easy for us, the general of the Cavalry, to gain a foothold in Hanzhong. He first started a massacre in Shang County, which seemed like a crazy move on the surface, but in my opinion, it was probably to attract Guo Si... Balance the situation of the Three Auxiliary and make it continue to fight, which should be Dong Qi's purpose."

Cao Cao nodded, "Emperor is a tyrannical person in Xiping. Although he kills people like a tyrant, he will passively respond to the challenge most of the time... Well, Shang County's move is on the surface, his act of revenge on Li Guo. Feng Xiao said it well, it will not be that simple."

"Zhao Qianxin came to Jianwei, but his foundation was not stable. Although there were help from local tyrants such as Jia Long, he was probably not Liu Yan's opponent. Since entering Yizhou, Liu Yan has been keeping a low-key role. In the eyes of many people, it seems a bit weak, but for that time, it was undoubtedly the last choice. Now the world is in chaos, and Liu Yan can all establish his authority as the blood of the Qianwei clan."

Cheng Yu's heart skipped a beat, "Fengxiao means that the rebellion of Jianwei was initiated by Liu Yan."

Next to Guo Jia, there were two people sitting. One was Xun Yu, the other was about 40 years old and fat. He could never see his eyes when he smiled.

A black long gown made his bloated figure look a lot thinner.

Hearing Cheng Yu speak, the man whispered: "Liu Yan had not killed anyone in Youzhou back then. He had confronted the Xianbei people in his early years and later quelled the Taiping Road Rebellion in Youzhou. In my opinion, the people he killed may not be less than Dong Xiping."

"Yuan Chang means..."

"Why could Liu Yan be threatened by such a tough and iron-blooded person when he was young? But after he arrived in Yizhou, he practiced the means of inaction and governance... Now, most of the Yizhou tribes have accepted Liu Yan, and it is time to tear off their coats and show their butcher's knife."

This middle-aged scholar was named Zhong Yao.

He is from Yingchuan, known as the Eight Chefs. He studied under Zhang Jian, Yingchuan, and was very famous.

Cao Cao captured Yangdi and opened the door to Yingchuan. Zhong Yao immediately joined his family and served as a teacher and friend under Cao Cao's account. On the surface, this teacher and friend did not have any real power, but it was enough to show Cao Cao's importance.

Zhong Yao's words made Cao Cao suddenly become interested in Liu Yan.

That's right, it's really strange that such a tough and tough person who was young became unknown after he arrived in Yizhou.

Guo Jia said: "In addition, Hanzhong, ghost paths are rampant. Zhang Lu's ancestor created the Five Doks of Rice Road, which was very famous in the land of Bashu. During the Zhongping period, horses rebelled, and how powerful it was? Unfortunately, Zhang Lu said that the chaos in Bajun was dispersed, causing him to be defeated by Jia Long... Zhang Lu went to Hanzhong, and Su Gu could not resist. Marquis of Wugong entered Hanzhong, and it was difficult for him to gain a foothold."

"Then you mean..."

"Let Su Gu and Guo Si join hands to maintain chaos in Hanzhong!"

After Guo Jia finished speaking, he stopped talking.

He secretly glanced at Cao Cao and thought to himself: I had told Xiping that I had established my own business. Could it be that the Zhangye thief was his unit? If this were the case, then Dong Qi could really tolerate it and there was no news of the wind.

If he doesn't go to Hanzhong, then the only possibility is to pass through Nanshan, Wudu, Hehuang, and arrive at Zhangye.

Should I lose his way out?

In Guo Jia's mind, Dong Qi is not enough to become a wise ruler because he offended the aristocratic family and was too cruel to accomplish great things.

Without the help of the gentry, even if the country is conquered, it may not last long. But if Guo Jia hates Dong Qi very much? That would not be. On the contrary, if Dong Qi surrenders to Cao Cao, Guo Jia would be happy to come forward to plead for him.

Let Dong Qi go, if he lets him recover in Zhangye, I am afraid that Cao Cao will face great difficulties when he unifies Liangzhou in the future...

Take money and get rid of disasters with others.

Guo Jia pondered for a long time, then suddenly stood up and said, "Lord, Jia has an idea that he might be able to kill Dong Xiping."

*******

According to Guo Jia and Cao Cao's plan, Dong Qi was placed in Liangzhou, Weinan. Although he was a great enemy, others would come to deal with it.

Just a reminder can add a lot of trouble to Dong.

But in my heart, whether Dong Qi is a junior brother or a friend.

Since they are now in a hostile position, Cao Cao and Guo Jia will never be ruthless. At this point, Dong Qi did the same. Otherwise, when he was in Xingyang, he would not have been so cruel, forcing Cao Cao to leap on his horse and escape.

It has been August and Cao Cao has stationed troops in Lu.

The Qingzhou side has become a mess. Cao Cao has submitted a memorial to Chang'an, saying that Gong Jing is seeking help and is preparing to send troops to quell the rebellion.

Everyone knows that the court in Chang'an is no longer the court in Luoyang that was originally.

Although Emperor Liu Xie of Han was still the emperor, he was already in a state of great power and lived a very difficult life in Chang'an.

Li Jue would not be as polite as Dong Zhuo to him.

Although Liu Xie was not allowed to participate in the government affairs, Dong Zhuo at least retained the dignity of the Han Dynasty. But Li Jie was fine. He stayed in the dragon bed every night and raped the palace maids and concubines at will. He did not bow to the court and did not kneel down when he retreated, as if he regarded Liu Xie as if nothing had happened.

After proclaiming himself as a general, Li Jue's defense against Liu Xie can be said to be more strict.

No wonder, Dong Zhuo was so relaxed to Liu Xie at the time, but this little thing was thinking about how to plot against Dong Zhuo every day...

Ha, the more polite you are, the less ignorant this little thing is. Just let you know that the owner of Chang'an is me, Li Jue.

Cao Cao's memorial once again took the lead.

Li Jue was overjoyed and immediately ordered Cao Cao to be appointed as General of the East, Marquis of Zhu Xu, and the governor of Yanzhou. After all, Cao Cao was the first person to express his surrender to him as a prince. No matter how he fought before, for Li Jue, Cao Cao's memorial represented that the princes recognized the status of the Chang'an court. Cao Cao also took this opportunity to obtain a legitimate identity.

General of the East, the soldiers and horses of Qingzhou, Yanzhou and Xuzhou were stationed.

After Cao Cao obtained his identity, he immediately mobilized his troops and prepared to attack Qingzhou. In fact, it could not be considered an attack. Guan Haiman Chong, the leader of the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou, had already expressed his surrender through Yiji. To put it bluntly, it was just a show.

But at this moment, a letter of help disrupted Cao Cao's plan.

Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian attacked Yangzhou!

At the same time, the Jiaozhou Rebellion had been put down and Yangzhou left Sima Sun Ce, who occupied Nanhai County, raised an army to attack Kuaiji County, and put out a banner: Liu Yao was sealed by the traitor, and there was no jade seal on the edict, which was actually a forgery and would not be recognized.

"Sun Family Shi'er, it's really amazing!"

Cao Cao couldn't help but remembered the situation when he was in Xingyang and bid farewell to Sun Ce, and couldn't help but exclaim.

This praise annoyed the general Taishi Ci.

"Lord, Sun Lang, why should I care? Liu Yao was incompetent and was beaten to run away by a yellow-mouthed child. It was really embarrassing."

Zhong Yao shook his head and smiled, "Ziyi's words are bad. The Sun family has always been famous in Jiangdong, so they should not be underestimated... However, no matter how powerful Sun Ce is, he is a reckless man after all, and it is not worth worrying about. On the contrary, the people around him who come up with advice are not simple."

"Yuan Chang, what do you say?"

"Although the two thieves Li Guo mastered the emperor, they were suffering from the lack of a jade seal to prove their imperial rule. If the jade seal did not appear for a day, the Han imperial reunification would not be recognized every day, and the orders passed were all forgery. Sun Ce also saw this and raised an army to attack Kuaiji. Not only would it not cause any disgust among the princes, but it would also be recognized by many major tribes in Jiangdong. It was a good time."

"Who is Sun Lang helping me now?"

"Zhou Yu, the son of Zhou Yi, the former Luoyang ruling Zhou Yi, was born magnificent and outstanding. He was known as a hero and had a great personality. Although he was young, he had extraordinary knowledge. During the Guanghe period, when he was in Luoyang with his father, he privately said that Yuan Shao was resourceful and unrestrained. Although he had a family background of four generations and three princes, he was only famous and could not accomplish great things... He was so angry that Yuan Shao almost had to settle accounts with Zhou Yi at that time."

Cao Cao applauded, "I have a little impression of Yuan Chang's words. Later, Zhou Yi asked the general to come forward and decided to settle the matter. However, for this, Yuan Wei did not value Zhou Yi's family and was later demoted to the capital."

"It's this son!"

Cao Cao frowned and couldn't help but hesitate.

Zhong Yao said: "In this Jiaozhou Rebellion, Sun Ce accumulated military achievements and went to the Zuo Sima. After occupying the South China Sea, he made friends with local famous scholar Yu Fan, and Yu Fan came out to quell the Shi Family Rebellion. The lord should not underestimate Sun Ce. He could have such a method at a young age. The Shi Family had been in Jiaozhou for a hundred years and was quite famous. With the support of the Shi Family, Sun Ce could already establish a foothold in Jiaozhou."

Hearing this, Cao Cao took a breath.

It is not worth worrying that Sun Ce occupied Jiaozhou. Jiaozhou is located in a remote area, with a sparse population, and the Shanyue Fanmiao Rebellion is difficult to achieve great things. What I am afraid of is that Sun Ce takes this as the foundation. If he occupied Kuaiji, Yangzhou may be in danger.

Liu Yao is now attacked from both sides, which is not enough to resist Sun Ce.

But if he was asked to send troops to Xuzhou, it would be a bit unbeautiful to offend Tao Qian for nothing.

After all, Yangzhou and Qingzhou are far apart and are blocked by rivers, so Cao Cao really couldn't take care of this place.

Cheng Yu stood up and said, "My lord, be careful. Sun Ce was originally a son of Yangzhou, and his uncle Wu Jing was also the prefect of Wu County. If he captured Kuaiji County, Wu County would be equivalent to falling into the hands of Sun Lang. At that time, Liu Yao would be unable to resist... Kuaiji Wu County was connected, and as long as he captured Yuzhang, Yangzhou would be in danger."
