Ancestor Bless: I built a thousand-year-old family

Chapter 648 Cao Cao
Two thousand brave warriors appeared in Luoyang City like the wind.

Then on an ordinary morning, the sun rose and the morning light fell, and these brave warriors left here again like the wind.

Many carriages appeared in the horse team, not only Diao Chan, but also Cai Yong and his youngest daughter who was less than ten years old, as well as a large collection of books, mainly those rare and very valuable books. Go to Zhaocheng.

Naturally, he did not wear armor during the march, and his tied-up hair was blown back by the wind, revealing a lean face.

Many grand scholars called their friends and friends to watch, this may be the only chance to see a brave warrior in this life.

Diao Chan raised the curtain of the carriage and looked at the city that she had lived in for many years but hadn't taken a good look at it. She didn't know if she would be able to return here in the future.

The scholars in Luoyang City only felt a blur before their eyes, and saw a beautiful woman walking out of a painting leaving, causing waves of restlessness and exclamation.

Luo Shu led the brave warriors out of Luoyang, looking at the majestic city in front of him and listening to the sound of the surging Luoshui, all the sons of the Luo family and the brave warriors got off their horses one after another, Diao Chan looked at this scene with some curiosity.

All the people knelt down on one knee facing Luoyang and Luoshui, crossed their hands and lowered their heads, Luo Shu raised his hands above his head, and the rest of them pressed their hands on their chests with solemn expressions.

Diao Chan immediately knew what these people were going to do. This was a gesture of chanting saints that had been passed down since ancient times. It was the oldest of all the methods of chanting saints.

She hurriedly got out of the carriage, not caring about the dust on the ground, and directly knelt on the ground with her head and hands crossed in front of her chest, her posture was very standard.

Luo Shu saw this scene out of the corner of his eye, and smiled imperceptibly.

"Su Wang's spirit is in the sky!"

Luo Shu's voice was like the sound of thunder, and then thousands of people shouted loudly in unison, shaking those gathered in Luoyang City.

Countless people heard this chanting voice. First they looked at each other, and then they knelt on the ground like a tide. Scattered voices rang out, "King Su is on top."

After so many years, except for special sacrifices, even the words to praise the saints were gradually omitted to four words, but in the end they were unified into one chant: "The spirit of King Su is in the sky!"

"Brightness shines on God Luoyang!"

The brave warriors sang a complete hymn, which shocked the people of Luoyang before they all mounted their horses. Diao Chan stood up from the ground and gently patted the dust on her knees.

Luo Shu walked up to Diao Chan and asked with a smile, "Miss Diao Chan knows why she did this?"

"what?"

When Diao Chan heard this, her cold little face was full of surprise. Isn't this Luo's fixed procedure?

Then she suddenly remembered those rumors. Generally, the Luo family would not sing an entire hymn. The sentence "King Su's spirit is in the sky, and his glory and reputation will last for tens of thousands of years" was enough.

She thought of the sentence that the brilliance shines on Luoyang, the god, and her eyes lit up as if with moonlight: "Is it to warn the people in the city not to destroy Luoyang?"

Luo Shu had a smile on his face, but there was a chill in his voice, "If someone really wants to destroy Luoyang, they can't stop it. This is to tell everyone that if they destroy Luoyang, they should stretch their necks and wait for Luo's death." revenge."

Now there is a very real problem. The Rockies are very strong, but many people don’t know how strong the Rockies are, and the Rockies can’t tell others how strong the Rockies are. So some people think that the Rockies are very strong, and some people think that the Rockies are very strong. Feeling that Luo Shi is nothing more than that, some people are in awe, while others have no scruples.

Diao Chan heard the chilling meaning in Luo Shu's words, and then saw Luo Shu regained that gentle posture and said: "Miss, please get in the car, we are going back to Zhaocheng."

Diao Chan nodded and stepped into the carriage.

……

"Luo Shi left?"

This question rang out in many places in Luoyang City.

There are countless meanings in the question. Some people breathed a sigh of relief, some sighed slightly, and some began to fear.

In the palace, Luo Kong listened to the faint singing and sang along in the palace. When everything was over, he stood up and thought about what he could do.

Sitting in the palace waiting to die is naturally not what he wants, but now the palace is mainly controlled by Dong Zhuo, [-]% of the palace guards are Dong Zhuo's people, even the emperor's guards are basically Dong Zhuo even though they wear the clothes of the Imperial Army A member of the Xiliang Army.

The remaining [-]% is the original forbidden army, and the Taiping army of Bu Cai and others is also among them. Although their power cannot be compared with Dong Zhuo's Xiliang, it is impossible for them to completely abandon the Queen Mother He and the emperor.

"The Taiping Army and Yuan Shaojun are the key to solving the current problem. If Wenhe is here now, he will definitely be able to come up with a way to make a big difference."

Luo Kong thought hard, hoping to find an opportunity that flashed by in this state of anxiety.

……

Not everyone among the Qinwang princes at the time was able to make a comeback as quickly as Yuan Shao. Cao Cao was even worse than Liu Bei and fled with his brothers to his hometown in Yanzhou and Yuzhou.

Yanzhou and Yuzhou are both populous states, and they are not far behind Jizhou. Although they have experienced more wars than Jizhou, the time span is not very large, and the most important thing is that there is no large-scale plague spread, so Yuzhou and Yanzhou has great war potential.

Cao Cao this time King Qin destroyed a lot of Cao and Xiahou's family fortunes, but the family's support for Cao Cao did not decrease.

After all, Cao Cao was not the only one who failed, as long as he gained prestige among King Qin this time, everything would be gained if he had prestige in this world.

The war between Yuzhou and Yanzhou has never stopped.

The Xiao family in Lanling and the Han family in Huaiyin are all in Xuzhou, and the Zhang family in Xinzheng is no longer in these two prefectures. These three families are all busy suppressing the bandits in their own families. Only Yinghou is in Yuzhou and Yanzhou to quell the banditry. .

Until Luoyang gradually settled down, the situation between the world seemed to gradually become clearer on the surface.

The bandits everywhere felt that the imperial court seemed to have freed up their hands, and they became more and more panicked. More and more were subdued by the imperial court. The rebellion between these states and counties seemed to be quelled.

Qiao County.

Cao Cao returned to his hometown, and all the elders of the family attended this extremely important meeting to discuss the family's great cause for the next few decades.

The first question is whether the family wants to simply be a gentry, or continue to be a prince!

It is safer to be a gentry, the most is that the power of the family will decline, and generally the whole army will not be wiped out. If you are a prince, it has a hint of turning your family into a country, and the benefits you get will increase dramatically, but the danger will also be greatly increased.

Even so, which family doesn't want to turn their family into a country?

The emperor of the Han Dynasty lost his position as the Son of Heaven, and suddenly ignited the flame of ambition in the hearts of countless people.

How can there be no emperor in the world ruled by heaven?

The Han Dynasty did not explain that the Han Dynasty lost its life. Whose destiny fell on this person, then I don’t know!

"Meng De, what do you think?"

In the end, the problem still fell on Cao Cao, the most outstanding son of the family. Children of this level could no longer be controlled by the opinions of the clan elders. Instead, the clan elders had to cooperate with these children to do things.

Cao Cao pondered for a while, and then said decisively: "Of course we want to be princes, our Cao family has been wandering between the powerful and the gentry.

If you want to be a gentry now, you will always follow other families to eat leftovers.

In the early Han Dynasty, the family was so prominent in the country of Qiao. As a result, there was a great chaos in the last year of the Han Dynasty.

If we don't dare to strive for wealth even in troubled times, then in the next hundred years, we will still be a third-rate family like we are now.

No matter how rich and food they have, they are looked down upon by others. If they can become princes, they will turn over in one day.

Even if it fails, as long as the most dangerous stage is passed, it will be a leap in family prestige. "

Cao Cao's words made everyone nod their heads involuntarily. This is the reason. It is naturally extremely dangerous to compete for the world, but once successful, they will become the No. [-] family in Tianzi in an instant.

In the early Han Dynasty, there was a saying that "Luo and Liu share the world".

This sentence not only praises the Luo family, but also praises the Liu family. On the surface, it is talking about the powerful power of the Luo family, but in fact it is also secretly elevating the status of the Liu family.

Yuan Shu called himself the Zhong family because he felt that after the Luo family was not counted, the Yuan family was the most prestigious besides the Liu family, which is evident from the noble surnames of the royal family.

And even if it is unsuccessful, as long as the one who wins the world is not a mortal enemy, the family's prestige will also rise steadily, and it will not be a problem to get a high position in the new dynasty.

There is no habit of killing competitors.

"Since you have decided to be a vassal, you must choose a good place to start your army."

Everyone had no opinion on Cao Cao's decision. The Cao family was in such a position of inconsistency, and there were really not many choices that could be made.

"When choosing a place to raise troops, it must be easy to defend and difficult to attack. Otherwise, even the bravery of King Xiang will be wasted on the rush. Then Xuzhou, a place where there are no natural barriers, cannot be chosen."

Xuzhou is a battleground for military strategists, but just occupying Xuzhou is a deadly situation. There are enemies in all directions, and Xuzhou has no obstacles except a small mountain in the core area. The first one was ruled out by Cao Cao.

"Qingzhou is a good place to go, it was the land of Qi State back then, it was close to the seashore, and business was prosperous.

The only disadvantage is that it is too chaotic now, and the Lu family's roots in Qingzhou are too deep, and the family has no connections there, so they can't get in. "

The most critical part of this paragraph is the last sentence. In this era without disciples, old officials, friends and relatives, it is difficult to move forward. Cao's influence has obviously not expanded to Qingzhou.

"Jizhou has no chance. Yuan Shao is there. We can't compete with him. Youzhou and Bingzhou are even more impossible. They are the territory of the Bianjun family. It is impossible for us, the powerful gentry of the Central Plains, to get in."

Cao Cao sighed slightly when he heard this, "Is it still Yuzhou and Yanzhou?"

He recalled the scene when he fled to Yuzhou and Yanzhou, and said directly: "If you choose one of these two states, you should choose Yanzhou.

But Yanzhou is also a place of the Fourth World War. Before it develops, I am afraid that it will have to rely on Yuan Shao's breath for a long time to survive.

Yuan Shao must hate Yuan Shu very much. If I can really occupy one or two counties and develop, I am afraid that I will be the one who faces Yuan Shu's sharp edge. "

The elders of the family laughed and said, "It's nothing. Back in Bangzhou, Jin State and Chu State competed for the hegemony of the Central Plains. I don't know how many of the Central Plains countries depended on these two countries and Luo State for their survival.

I don’t even know how many wars were supported by these three countries. For example, if Wu State did not have the support of Luo State selling blood, how could it be possible to persist in front of Chu State for so many years.

Although hundreds of years have passed, these things will not change. Accept Yuan Shao's assistance and attack Yuan Shu for Yuan Shao.

If Yuan Shu gave enough benefits, it would be normal to attack Yuan Shao instead.

Where can there be anything else among the princes?
It is said that during the Bangzhou period, those princes formed alliances in the morning and betrayed them in the evening. When I was studying, I only felt that these people really had no trust at all, but now it seems that we have not reached that position. "

Cao Cao frowned slightly when he heard this, and said: "I still can't say that, the situation in Bangzhou was quite different from now, justice was the priority among the world, and it was pure hegemony at that time.

Where possible, we should try our best to maintain our own credibility, and we should not casually betray the alliance.

Yanzhou is a state with a large population, and each county has a large population, and the power of the family is different in each county. Please ask the clan elders to choose a county with abundant resources such as food and grass for the family. "

As Cao Cao said this, he also began to search for useful connections in his mind, to see if there was anyone who could help him.

……

With the support of his family power, Cao Cao was intensively preparing to cultivate his power again. After parting with Gongsun Zan, Liu Bei's army finally arrived in Qingzhou.

Coming all the way from Youzhou, Liu Bei found that Qingzhou is indeed quite chaotic, and this area of ​​Qingzhou is very noisy every time the world is under heaven.

"Brother, what shall we do now?"

Liu Bei touched the things that Luo Kong gave him in his arms, as well as the letter he had asked for from Yinghou, and said in a deep voice: "I have only one goal in coming to Qingzhou, and that is to develop and strengthen our power, and regard Qingzhou as a In the base area, the easiest way to achieve this is to obtain the support of Mr. Lu.

First gradually defeated the Qingzhou bandits and gathered under his command, and finally rescued Lu Hou and Qi Gong, and gained the support of these two families.

With these two taking the lead, we will be able to gain the support of some Qingzhou gentry.

With the support of Qingzhou gentry, we will have a base, and we will no longer be a wandering legion. At that time, we can talk about the future. "

Liu Bei's plan was very clear, and everyone believed it, especially Guan Zhangzhao. The battlefield is the destination of these ten thousand enemies, and the sharp blade in their hands is already hungry and thirsty!
