Three Kingdoms

Jia Xu left as suddenly as he came, leaving only a letter.

Of course, I didn’t write my real name at the end, I just wrote four words “well-known but not”, haha...

However, in addition to expressing some polite words such as thanks for the hospitality, the letter also mentioned something, suggesting that Fei Qian should take down the three counties of Dingyang, Gaonu and Diaoyin east of Beiqu as soon as possible.

It is indeed correct to take this route to Shangjun. After all, there is a straight Qin Road on the other side of Shangjun. Although it has not been repaired for many years, it is at least much simpler than opening a new road.

Qinzhi Road runs from Xianyang directly to the foot of the old Great Wall in Yinshan Mountain. When resisting the ethnic minorities moving south, the Qin Dynasty's army basically sent out troops on the same day and arrived the next day...

It's just that it's a little early now.

As Fei Qian rode towards the camp, he handed the letter to Jia Qu and Du Yuan beside him for circulation.

Linghu Shao has already taken office in order to complete the construction of the academy as soon as possible. Although he is still a bit younger, he still has no commendable insights on Confucian classics. Dr. Ren may have some people who are dissatisfied, but as a person who encourages students to follow Cao Cao It shouldn't be a big problem, so now I basically sit in Taoshan with a book every day for the whole day. I don't know whether I am studying, supervising work, or both.

Jia Qu finished reading the letter, handed it to Du Yuan, and said: "Gao Nu in the north, Diao Yin in the south, and Ding Yang in the south form a tripod. If we can take it down, we will have a stable foothold in Shangjun... "

Du Yuan also said: "But we have to wait until the autumn harvest at the earliest before we can use troops. Food and grass are indeed in short supply now."

Fei Qian nodded. Suddenly a question came to mind. From a strategic perspective, I should be considered a relatively advanced group of people, so I don't have much feeling about Jia Xu's writings, but if I have no direction, I don't know where to go. For people, this type of letter may be nothing less than a panacea.

At the same time, I should be relatively weak at the tactical level, so should I find some people...

Jia Qu said: "However, now that there are many Xianbei prisoners, the grievances will inevitably be deep. If we attack Shangjun, Xianbei will have to guard against it."

Fei Qian's current strategy is actually to unite the Xiongnu and Eastern Qiang to fight against the Xianbei in the north...

Fei Qian said: "You don't have to worry too much now. King Tanshihuai of Xianbei died suddenly. Budugen was stationed in Yunzhong and Yanmen, while Kebineng was concentrated in Daijun and Shanggu. The two had a bad relationship. It was a good time to take advantage of it. Opportunity."

As long as you don't attack Bu Dugen's base areas of Yunzhong and Yanmen counties, there will be no absolutely irreconcilable conflict with them. There are just some scattered Xianbei tribes near Shangjun and Xihe, and they do not belong to Bu Dugen. jurisdiction, so even if Bu Dugen receives some requests, he will probably not focus all his attention here.

Are you leading the poor peasants to fight the landlords...

After the autumn harvest and into winter, it is really necessary to strengthen the preparations for ethnic minorities to go south, because at that time, these ethnic minorities urgently need to go south to obtain some supplies to survive the long winter.

"We have to wait and see..." Suddenly, Fei Qian pointed to the group of sheep in the camp and said, "Look at that sheep, that little sheep..."

"Hey!" Jia Qu and Du Yuan also looked at each other in surprise.

Thousands of miles away, Cao Cao also handed a brief piece of information in his hand to Wei Jian beside him.

Wei Qian was now wearing black clothes. When he saw this, he silently took the small piece of silk cloth and unfolded it. The word "rejected" was written on it.

Wei Jian handed back the silk note and said: "As expected. Liu Gong's imperial family is extremely loyal and honest, how could they respond to such a treasonous act."

Cao Cao nodded, then remained silent.

This year, Cao Cao suffered repeated setbacks. At the beginning of the year, Cao Cao happily spent all his wealth to recruit troops and said goodbye to his wife. However, after arriving at Jujube, he discovered that the monarchs did not want to march at all, and kept entangled in seizing power. In the end, he and Bao Xin went alone and were defeated. .

After Cao Hong escaped from the desperate cover, he regained his feelings and went south to Yangzhou to recruit again. As a result, he finally collected nearly 10,000 soldiers again. He originally planned to go to Suanzao to continue his crusade against Dong Zhuo, but he did not expect a camp roar at Longkang. , unexpectedly like the light snow meeting the bright sun, the ten thousand soldiers dispersed and only less than two thousand remained...

Cao Cao had no choice but to go north to Hanoi to join Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao took good care of Cao Cao. He sent a thousand men and horses to Cao Cao, and also distributed military rations. He did not make things difficult for Yuan Shao because Cao Cao did not show any good looks to Yuan Shao in Luoyang.

But to Cao Cao, it seemed that Yuan Benchu, who was once heroic and energetic, seemed to be a different person.

Fat growth and lack of knowledge about farming is a common problem among princes, and it is not a big deal. However, before the fall of the Han Dynasty, he planned to go to Nanyang to help Liu Xiu!

How is this different from the Great Rebellion? !

Cao Cao remembered the last time he attended a banquet hosted by Yuan Shao, and a group of people drank accordingly. During the dinner, Yuan Shao repeatedly held up a jade seal to express his intention, and his meaning was so obvious that he almost didn't want to hide it...

The official system of the Han Dynasty wore different seals and ribbons according to different grades and ranks. The seals are divided into gold seals, silver seals, copper seals, etc.; there are buttons on the seals, and the buttons are divided into turtle buttons and nose buttons; the ribbons are different from green ribbon, purple ribbon, green ribbon, yellow ribbon, and black ribbon; but only No jade seal!

Who can use the jade seal!

Only the emperor!

Everyone present was well-dressed and handsome, but no one said a word.

The Han Dynasty is in decline and people have different intentions. Who can not lose their loyalty?

Including Cao Cao himself.

It is very uncomfortable to live under someone else's roof and rely on others to breathe. You have words but dare not speak out clearly. You have anger but cannot show emotions.

"Bo Xi, if we want to find a place to stay, where is the best place?" Cao Cao said, looking up at the sky with his hands behind his hands.

After Wei Qian was defeated by Fei Qian, he went all the way east, originally thinking of defecting to Yuan Shao, thinking that with his reputation, he would be able to gain some weight, but unfortunately, reality is always cruel.

Yuan Shao's scholars, Guangmin Qiang, have expressed their inclination, or have already surrendered to Yuan Benchu, including Tian Feng, Shen Pei, and Ju Sue from Jizhou; and then Guo Tu, Feng Ji, and Xu You from Yuzhou; these two major The adviser groups have formed their own small circles based on regions, and each of them has different tendencies...

But just because they are different from each other does not mean that Wei Xi will have the opportunity to take advantage of the situation and take advantage of him. Although these people who have established a foothold around Yuan Shao are constantly competing for greater power, for those who try to join in, But he has a high degree of defensiveness.

Two days after Wei's arrival, except for meeting Yuan Shao once from a distance, he had no achievements and could not even see anyone...

In desperation, he had no choice but to find another plan. At this time, Cao Cao, who lacked advisers, appeared. Originally, Cao Cao and the Wei family had always had a good relationship, so Wei Jian turned his head and fell into the arms of Cao Cao.

Although Wei Ji wanted very much in his heart to ask Cao Cao to turn around and march westward now to kill the painful Fei Qian, he also understood in his heart that Cao Cao's current strength could not compete with Fei Qian, so he could only do it for the time being. He buried his hatred in his heart and said, "Ming Gong, how is Yanzhou?"

Yanzhou is Cao Cao's hometown, and Cao Cao also served as the Prime Minister of Jinan in Yanzhou before and was quite famous. Therefore, if Cao Cao can really go to Yanzhou, it will be easier to gain the support of the gentry there.

"Yanzhou..." Cao Cao repeated, then nodded slightly, "...we have to wait for the right time..."

Yuan Shao first relied on Han Fu, the shepherd of Jizhou, and then before the Jujube Alliance broke down, he and Han Fu planned to elect Liu Yu as the new emperor...

At this time, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan were not on good terms and looked down upon each other...

Liu Yu didn't accept it, which is also the reason for this chapter...

But it should be noted that Han Fu is still the state pastor at this time...

Soon Yuan Shao began to seek the status of state pastor, and in turn allied with Liu Yu's enemy Gongsun Zan...

politics……

At this time, Cao Cao seemed to have ambitions of his own, and there seemed to be some middle-class people who disdained the company of a political investor like Yuan Shao, so he left Yuan Shao's army in the name of crusading against the Black Mountain Army...
