Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 222
Since the defeat of the three giants of the Xiliang Army outside Luoyang City,

Zhang Ji was afraid that Li Jue and Li Jue would harm him. In addition, he lost his luggage on the road and the army was short of food.

So Zhang Ji decided to go back to Hongnong to pack up his belongings overnight, left Wuguan and came to Nanyang County, planning to make a fortune first to alleviate his embarrassing situation.

Zhang Ji, who originally wanted to gain a vote, was lost when he attacked Rangcheng, and unfortunately died in battle.

His nephew Zhang Xiu took over Zhang Ji's army,
Finally, in desperation, he took refuge in Liu Biao and stationed troops in Wancheng.

And in this, there is one person who deserves the credit, he is the counselor who confuses the world with his words, and later secretly helps the emperor escape from Chang'an, Jia Xu!

Jia Xu and Zhang Xiu were originally from the same hometown, and they often exchanged letters secretly.

Zhang Ji's ability to go to Chang'an was arranged by Jia Xu through Zhang Xiu's mouth.

Later, they went to pursue the emperor together, and Jia Xu actually expressed his objection to Zhang Xiu.

It's a pity that Zhang Ji at that time was already greedy for profit, and he couldn't listen to Zhang Xiu (Jia Xu).

After Luoyang was defeated, Zhang Ji led his army back to Hongnong.

When Zhang Xiu was packing up his things and running away, he happened to meet Jia Xu, so Zhang Xiu invited Jia Xu to his army and became his staff.

Later, as mentioned above, Zhang Ji died in battle, and Zhang Xiu received a surrender from Liu Biao.

Under Jia Xu's suggestion, Zhang Xiu's forces took refuge in Liu Biao, and finally got Wancheng to station troops to guard the Nanyang gate for Liu Biao.

Lu Yan is currently inspecting the cavalry training in Zhao Yun's camp, with Lu Lingqi, Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan behind him. .

But now the leader of the soldiers following Lu Yan is no longer Xia Houlan, but General Anhan Lu Lingqi.
Since Lu Lingqi replaced Xiahoulan, Xiahoulan became Zhao Yun's deputy general, which finally fulfilled his wish to lead the army alone.

Lu Lingqi actually wanted to lead the army alone,
But Zhao Yun, Xia Houlan, Tai Shici and others were the leaders of Lu Yan's personal soldiers before leading the army. Although she didn't know why they did this, Lu Lingqi still expressed her intentions to Lu Yan.

Others certainly know why they do this, because Lu Yan will force you to: practice martial arts, read books, learn the art of war, and a series of knowledge.

Moreover, Lu Yan not only attaches great importance to the training of generals, but also attaches great importance to the improvement of the quality of soldiers.

Almost all the big soldiers in the barracks are illiterate, and most of them are past the age of learning.

As a five-good young man in the new era, Lu Yan has long been unable to tolerate the existence of this ill. If he hadn't been poor and lacking people back then, he might have started this sport long ago.

Now that Xuchang is the capital of the emperor, not only famous people flock here, but also many poor families who have read books and even ordinary people with little knowledge are rushing to Cao Cao's rule.

Now that the supply of talents is somewhat oversupplied, Lu Yan recently made another windfall by selling books, and with a wave of his hand in a happy mood, he assigned a teacher to all of Chen Liu's own army.

Now that he has paper and pen, and people and money, Lu Yan made the soldiers of the army start to read and write, which can be called crazy!

Needless to say, the benefits of doing so, the iron army of later generations has verified its effect with practical actions.

"Guanguan Jujiu, in the river continent. A fair lady, a gentleman is good." Now it is Sishi, and the sound of reading aloud came from the huge cavalry barracks.

Reading in the morning and training in the afternoon, this is the daily routine of Chen Liu's soldiers.

Since the establishment of the training subject [Reading], all kinds of training that made soldiers complain to the sky in the past have now become what they look forward to most every day.
Just when Lu Yan finished inspecting the cavalry and was about to inspect the Beiwei army again, the messenger sent by Cao Cao suddenly came in front of Lu Yan.

"Report! General Hussars, the General invites you to go to the General's Mansion in Xuchang to discuss important matters!"

After Lu Yan and Zhao Yun and others looked at each other, they asked, "Is it urgent?"

"It's urgent!" The orderly was panting, obviously very anxious along the way.

Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan seemed to smell the smell of war, and they were faintly excited at this moment.

"Do you want to call Guo Jijiu?" Lu Yan asked solemnly, how could Guo Jia be let go in such an emergency?
"You took a while to find General Hushi. Guo Jijiu has already rushed to Xuchang first."

Even Guo Jia, who is in charge of the information, is so anxious. It seems that this matter is indeed urgent.

Lu Yan no longer hesitated, and rushed towards Xuchang together with Lu Lingqi.

After walking into the meeting hall of the General's Mansion, Lu Yan discovered that the five top counselors Xun Yu, Xi Zhicai, Cheng Yu, Xun You, and Guo Jia had already gathered in the hall, and he was already the last one to come. .

As soon as Lu Yan came in, he found Xun You, who was relatively unfamiliar, and thought, "Huh? This scholar who looks somewhat similar to Xun Yu, could it be Xun You?"

Seeing Lu Yan glanced at him, Xun You stood up generously, bowed his hands to Lu Yan and said, "Your Majesty Xun You, whose name is Gongda, has seen General Hushi!"

Xun You is now Doctor Guanglu, and his rank is lower than that of Lu Yan, so he still treats Lu Yan as a subordinate to a superior.

When Lu Yan heard that it was indeed Xun You, he also smiled and clapped his hands and replied: "The name of Gongda has already been heard by Yan! Cao Gong can expect Gongda's help!"

"General Hussars is overrated." Xun You was low-key, he was not used to being praised in person like this.

It's okay for Lu Yan to say that.

At the beginning, Xun You secretly contacted the righteous man to kill Dong Zhuo, and it has already spread all over the world.No matter what the result is, one who dares to target a national traitor is a celebrity, so Xun You's reputation will definitely not be low.

After the greetings were finished and everyone quieted down, Cao Cao finally explained the reason for calling everyone today.

"Gentlemen, I received news today that Zhang Ji died in battle and Zhang Xiu led his people to join Liu Biao. He stationed troops in Wancheng to guard the gate of Jingzhou for Liu Biao."

"Zhang Xiu actually intervened?" Guo Jia didn't receive any news, and he realized that he seemed to have neglected the intelligence collection in the southwest direction.

"Zhang Xiu himself has nearly [-] infantry and cavalry.

After joining Liu Biao, he recruited soldiers in Nanyang, and now there are probably nearly [-] soldiers. "

Cao Cao looked serious and asked, "My gentlemen, what can you suggest?"

Nanyang Wancheng has changed, but Xun Yu, Xun You and Cheng Yu still think that Xuzhou is the most important thing.

The scene was quiet for a while, Xun Yu got up and cupped his hands and said to Cao Cao: "General, Zhang Xiu in Wancheng is not affected by scabies.

Xuzhou Liu Bei is the confidant's serious trouble, and it is also our first choice for sending troops to conquer and strengthen our strength! "

Not only Cheng Yu, but also Xun You nodded silently. They agreed that they could not wait for Liu Bei to continue his business, and must kill him in the bud.

Before Cao Cao could speak, Guo Jia suddenly smiled and said, "Wancheng is too close to Xuchang, how can we allow others to snore on the side of the couch?

And Liu Bei has already settled in Xuzhou,
If Zhang Xiu led the crowd to attack Liu Bei when we sent troops to conquer Liu Bei's emptiness, I dare to ask you, how can we take care of the beginning and the end? "
