Three Kingdoms

Cao Cao held a newspaper in his hand, and the expression on his face was very subtle, neither happy nor angry, it was too complicated to express.

What caught the most attention in the latest Di newspaper was naturally the Xianbei War in the northern part of Bingzhou, and Taichang Yang Biao's note was even more eye-catching.

Wang Yun is now in power, and seeing Fei Qian bring an auspicious victory, he brings another victory. This is simply a powerful explanation for Wang Yun's regime invisibly. After all, the auspiciousness is false, but the military achievements This matter is a real thing, so Wang Yun's high-profile publicity is naturally appropriate.

Moreover, now Wang Yun thinks that once Dong Zhuo dies, there will be no conflicts in the world, and there will be nothing to argue between Guandong and Guanxi. Moreover, for academic reasons, Wang Yun has always been more biased towards people from Shandong. , so they did not regard the current Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others as opponents, so they reported the news all over the world...

Cao Cao was currently in Wuyang, East County, and naturally received such a report.

This little junior brother...

After reading it a few times, Cao Cao put down the newspaper and looked at it dimly. I remember the first time I met Fei Ziyuan, he was just a young boy, holding a fragment pretending to be an antique, haha...

At first, I considered that Fei Ziyuan was a registered disciple who had just been accepted by Master Cai, and he might have found some broken chapters to submit to Master Cai. Therefore, although he saw through it, he didn't care about it, and then somehow it changed from being a registered disciple to being listed on the wall... …

Next, I seemed to be busy robbing the emperor, so I didn't notice Fei Qian. As a result, when we met again, he turned out to be the envoy of Jingzhou...

Then Fei Ziyuan took a detour into Luoyang, but he was defeated and surrendered to his cavalry...

In the blink of an eye, he had just established himself in Dongjun, but over there, Fei Ziyuan had already done such amazing deeds in the northern part of Bingzhou...

The original prefect of Dongjun, Wang Gong, was appointed privately by Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, after he killed Qiao Mao. He received neither formal permission from the court nor support from the civil gentry. Therefore, although Wang Gong had the title of prefect, he was not The county troops could not be mobilized at all, nor could they resist and compete with the Black Mountain Army. Now Wang Gong, the prefect of Dongjun, was actually in name only.

The Black Mountain Army that originally roamed around the Taihang Mountains, perhaps because of insufficient food supplies in the mountains, divided into three groups: Yu Du, Bai Rao, and Sui Gu to invade Wei County. When Cao Cao came, the Bai Rao tribe was unable to resist because of Wang Gong. , was a little careless, and was caught by the keen Cao Cao, who blocked the Pu River and beat him up...

Cao Cao's battle with the Black Mountain Army in the Bailuo tribe has now ended, and the result is naturally not much suspense. At the same time, a lot of the Black Mountain Army has been surrendered, so it can be considered that he officially has men, horses and land in Dongjun. At first, Cao Cao was proud for a while, but now it seems that although it is a big victory, it seems to be nothing in front of Fei Qian's record.

"Settling the battle will make the world famous..." Cao Cao muttered in a low voice, his voice was so low that only he could hear it, and there seemed to be an indescribable flavor in his tone.

At this time, the guards outside the hall reported that Wei Jian and Xi Zhi had arrived.

Wei Jian walked in front, walking very hastily, as if he couldn't stand even being close to Xi Zhicai. He took the lead into the hall, met with Cao Cao, and sat down aside.

Xi Zhicai still has the same lazy look, not to mention the wrinkles in his clothes, and his hair is scattered under the crooked crown, as if he has just slept without taking off the crown for many days. He is really unkempt. pole.

Cao Cao smiled and didn't take it seriously. He wanted to show the di report on the table to the two of them. He picked it up, thought about it, and handed it to Wei Qian first, and then smiled at Xi Zhicai.

Xi Zhicai received Cao Cao's little expression, and raised his eyebrows under his messy hair, saying that he didn't need to care.

Wei Ji did not notice the exchange of expressions between Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai at all, because his mind was completely attracted by the words in the newspaper, especially after seeing Yang Biao's words. His mood was so agitated that he couldn't help but tremble in his hands. He could only cough twice to cover it up, and then handed Xi Zhicai the newspaper he had left aside.

What happened back then, if Yang hadn't sworn to act as a guarantor behind the scenes, Wei Qian wouldn't have suddenly had greater ambitions. But now, he didn't expect that Yang's popularity would suddenly change, and Fei Qian would buy it, which would be very important to Wei. To put it bluntly, it is nothing less than a great blow and irony.

Xi Zhicai glanced at Wei Qian slightly, then withdrew his gaze, looked at the Di Bao, glanced up and down, smiled, and then returned the Di Bao to Cao Cao.

"What do you think about this?" Cao Cao said.

Wei Jian had quietly taken a few deep breaths, and his mood had calmed down, and he said: "Xianbei's new defeat will never come again within this year, and the horses left behind by Xianbei..."

Xi Zhicai also nodded and said: "Yuan Cheqi is on good terms with Wuhuan and wants to win the battle horses. Now that Cao Gong has an old relationship with Fei Zhonglang, why not send someone to contact him. If he can get thousands of war horses, , it should be a big help.”

In fact, not only Yuan Shao, but also Yuan Shu flirted with some northern ethnic minorities, not because of the fishy smell of mutton, but because of the war horses in the hands of ethnic minorities, otherwise these people who usually have eyes in the sky. , why are you talking and laughing with the barbarians?

The Hu people have war horses, and the Han people have steel, but they are very wary of each other. When trading with each other, the Hu people would rather exchange cattle and sheep for things than horses, while the Han people either make pottery or bronze. Basically, the barbarians were not given iron weapons.

After this battle between Fei Qian and the Xianbei people, there will be some war horses left behind. Although we can't be sure how many there are, it is always good to get some. After all, they are brothers, so it has some relationship...

What's more important is that Cao Cao's money is relatively tight at this stage. He still has a little money, but it is not very valuable anymore. Dongjun was first swept away by the Yellow Turbans, and then plundered by the Black Mountains. In fact, it was so ruined that even if you scraped the soil, you couldn't get anything. What's more, Cao Cao wanted to use Dongjun as his base. Tolerant policies are needed to improve people's livelihood, so in the end, the money is a bit tight.

He also wanted to expand his armaments and spend less or even no money, so after seeing the Di newspaper, Cao Cao sighed and turned to Fei Qian...

Seeing Cao Cao's gaze, Wei Jian smiled bitterly and said, "Ming Gong, I cannot shirk this matter. It is really inconvenient. To be honest, there are some differences between Cai Nu's affairs and Fei Zhonglang's affairs in Hedong. dispute……"

Cao Cao said "Huh", somewhat dissatisfied with Wei Qian's excuse.

In his opinion, if you lose, you lose. There is nothing to hide.

Wei Qian and Fei Qian fought against each other east of Hedong. This matter itself was a matter of success and failure. Both sides relied on their own abilities. Since Fei Qian won in the end and now defeated Xianbei, it means that Fei Qian was naturally superior in some aspects. After losing Wei Qian, the Wei family in Hedong now seeks refuge with Fei Qian and excludes Wei Jian. It is just a temporary measure and a normal choice for the family. If Fei Qian accidentally falls in the future, Wei Jian can naturally return to Hedong...

But since Wei Ji couldn't let go of this knot, Cao Cao couldn't force it, lest he mess up the matter.

So Cao Cao turned to play Zhicai.

Xi Zhicai laughed and said: "Since Mr. Cao has this intention, I will go there and do my best..."
