Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 241 Bold and Careful Zhang Yide

Before the Western Jin Dynasty, except for the early Western Han Dynasty who were suppressed and beaten because of their weak national power, in most of the time after that, it was actually the Han people who took the initiative to attack foreign peoples.

The powerful Han Empire has become the pride of the Chinese nation, which is why until today, the Chinese people still consider themselves Han people.

Therefore, for the Han people of this era, the looting of the Huns is undoubtedly a great shame.

In history, after Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao, in order to ensure the complete elimination of the remnants of the Yuan family, he personally led an army to expedition to Wuhuan.

Later, Zhang Liao commanded the army and launched a surprise attack while the Wuhuan coalition forces were not gaining a stable foothold.

The Wuhuan army was defeated, and Zhang Liao beheaded more than ten important figures including Wuhuan Shanyu Tadun, who was known as the "Smart Warrior", and captured more than 20 Wuhuan soldiers and civilians!
You should know that the population of most nomads usually does not exceed one million.Zhang Liao captured Wuhuan's 20 people in one fell swoop, and Wuhuan's vitality was also severely injured because of this, and he never dared to take the lead again.

Not only Cao Wei, but also the Shu Han and Soochow in history, almost all have the same idea and practice.

No matter if it is Nanban or Nanyue, if you don't want to integrate into Han culture and sing and dance, then you will be beaten until you have to surrender!

It was only later that the society of the Western Jin Dynasty began to become distorted, coupled with the Eight Kings Rebellion that lasted for more than ten years, the foreign race took a big advantage.They not only established the country in the Central Plains, but also enslaved the Han people, and even raised the Han people, naming them "two-legged sheep".

Although the later dynasties also drove out the foreign races, it was no longer possible to achieve the state of crushing the foreign races during the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms.

There are two flowers on each table.

In addition, Ji Ling lost to Guan Yu and lost another general, so after he withdrew to the camp, he stopped fighting.

Guan Yu led his troops in pursuit and arrived at Ji Ling's camp.

The soldiers took turns yelling and scolding for a long time, but there was no movement in Ji Ling's camp, so Guan Yu waited outside Ji Ling's camp for Liu Bei's army to come.

Liu Bei led his troops to join Guan Yu. Seeing that Ji Ling was sticking to his camp, he did not attack by force, so the two armies remained at loggerheads.

Liu Bei and Guan Yu led the army, and Xuzhou was entrusted to their third brother Zhang Fei, as well as Mi Zhu and Sun Qian.

As for Chen Deng and some local aristocratic families, Liu Bei was a little wary of them and did not dare to entrust them with key government affairs.

Although Liu Bei had three chapters with Zhang Fei before leaving, and he was explicitly prohibited from drinking alcohol.

But today, when Zhang Fei came back from the military camp, he suddenly ordered all the generals to come to his camp for a drink under the pretext of rewarding them.

After drinking for three rounds, Zhang Fei found out that one of the generals didn't drink at all, so he said furiously, "Cao Bao, why don't you drink? Are you not giving me Zhang Fei's face?"

"It's not Cao who doesn't give General Zhang face, but Cao who is not good at drinking"

Seeing Cao Bao's refusal, Zhang Fei stared at the copper-bell-sized eyes, and shouted, "How courageous! Come, someone, drag Cao Bao out for me, and give me fifty lashes!"

When Cao Bao heard this, everyone was dumbfounded.

You're going to whip me if I don't drink?Is there any law in this?

And, "You f*cking outsider has taken over our territory, and now you want to flog me for no reason?"

But Cao Bao couldn't beat Zhang Fei, and he was in Zhang Fei's camp at the moment, maybe there were swordsmen ambushing outside.

Thinking that his own life was the most important thing, Cao Bao could only grit his teeth and endure this humiliation.

Although Zhang Fei is reckless, he is not stupid, and he has read more books than Liu Bei and Guan Yu combined. How could he be just a reckless man?
Now that he has made an agreement with Liu Bei for three chapters, given how much he respects Liu Bei, even if he wants to drink, he should drink secretly.
The reason why Zhang Fei did this was because he received rumors that Cao Bao secretly disapproved of Liu Bei and secretly engaged in small tricks.

He intended to use this as an excuse to force Cao Bao to show his feet.

Sure enough, Cao Bao felt that since Zhang Fei whipped him in public, he might not let him go easily later.In order to save his life, Cao Bao fled back to Xiapi overnight.

Cao Bao's every move was under the surveillance of the spies sent by Zhang Fei.

Knowing that Cao Bao returned to Xiapi overnight in a horse-drawn carriage, Zhang Fei secretly sent spies to follow him.

Xiapi City.

Cao Bao returned to his mansion and summoned the man with whom he had been secretly in touch, Wang Xiu.

Wang Xiu, courtesy name Shuzhi, was born in Yingling, Beihai County.

He originally served as county magistrate under the rule of Kong Rong. After Lu Bu drove Kong Rong away, Chen Gong saw that Wang Xiu had clear rewards and punishments in governing the place, and was deeply loved by the people, so Chen Gong recruited him to work in the government and became him. right-hand man.

Later, when Liu Bei entered Xuzhou, Chen Gong secretly sent Wang Xiu to secretly win over Tao Qian's old department.

Chen Gong knew that Cao Cao had always coveted Xuzhou, and now Lu Bu had a delicate relationship with Cao Cao.

Chen Gong also has no intention of competing with Cao Cao for the territory of Xuzhou, but those aristocratic families in Xuzhou who refuse to accept Liu Bei are also a kind of resource!
Don't you Cao Mengde and Lu Changsheng dislike powerful families?

Then I Qingzhou has absorbed these powerful families, you will not object, right?
Qingzhou has been harassed by the Yellow Turbans for many years, and people's livelihoods in most areas have declined.

Chen Gong just hoped to get the resources and strength of these powerful families in Xuzhou, so that they could help him quickly restore the vitality of Qingzhou.

According to Chen Gong's design, Wang Xiu was sent to secretly contact Tao Qian's old troops who refused to accept Liu Bei. As long as the old Xuzhou troops were confronted with Liu Bei's forces and even fought, Cao Cao would have an excuse to send troops to attack Xuzhou.

Once Cao Cao occupies Xuzhou, Chen Gong can secretly publicize Cao Cao's "bloody suppression" of the aristocratic families. At that time, don't worry that those aristocratic families will not follow him!
Cao Bao, as the general under Tao Qian, became the tacit leader of this group.

Wang Xiu, who was summoned, saw Cao Bao's pale face and was wearing blood-stained underwear, and asked suspiciously, "General Cao, what's the matter?"

Cao Bao's face was sometimes painful and sometimes ferocious.

After waiting for a while, he finally opened his mouth to answer: "Today Zhang Fei forced me to drink alcohol at the banquet. A certain person who never drank alcohol on weekdays, Zhang Fei flogged me in public when he was furious! I am so angry!"

When Wang Xiu heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "This is really a golden opportunity!"

However, the expression on Wang Xiu's face was still well controlled, and he carefully tested: "General Cao, are you sure that Zhang Fei just whipped you because of drinking?"

Cao Bao was stunned when he heard the words, and asked, "Why did you say that, sir?"

"General Cao, General Sun Guansun and others have always refused to accept Liu Bei's entry into Xuzhou.

I, an outsider from Qingzhou, can see it. Do you think Zhang Fei can't see it? "

Wang Xiu's words made Cao Bao understand a little bit, and he replied, "What do you mean, sir, is Zhang Fei using alcohol to deliberately punish me?"

"To be precise, I want to find an excuse to observe your reaction.

If you make a slight change, or express dissatisfaction in private, maybe Zhang Fei's army will rush into your mansion tomorrow! "

"He is..." Cao Bao was a little uncertain, so Wang Xiu simply explained for him, "Zhang Fei is taking the opportunity to eradicate dissidents!"

"Hiss!" Whether he was frightened by Wang Xiu's words or hurt because of the wound on his body, Cao Baodang gasped.

However, Cao Bao was still a little puzzled, so he asked, "Then why did Zhang Fei take advantage of Liu Bei's absence?"

"Liu Bei has always cherished his reputation, some dirty work can't be done in front of him!"

Cao Bao was silent, and after a long time, he suddenly raised his head and said to Wang Xiu, "I heard that all the family members of Marquis Wen have fallen into the hands of Cao Cao. There is a girl with a beautiful face, sir, can you please?"

Wang Xiu thought: "Does this mean that you want to use the marriage to add a layer of security?"

But he couldn't make a decision on this matter, so he could only answer with his hands in his hands: "I'll ask Rong Xiu to report this matter to Marquis Wen before making a decision!"

Hearing this, Cao Bao couldn't help but smiled wryly and said, "Mister, hurry up, maybe Zhang Fei will rush into my residence tomorrow."
