Rampage through the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 297
Cao Cao had a stroke!
Although Cao Cao was rescued after the stroke, his life was not in danger for the time being, but he lost the ability to move and lay in bed all day, unable to take care of himself.

Cao Cao fell and lost the backbone of the army. At this time, Cao Cao's three sons stood up.

Cao Cao's eldest son, Cao Ang, inherited Cao Cao's position logically, commanding all things in Yuzhou and Yanzhou, while the second son Cao Pi went to various places to appease the people, and the third son Cao Zhang entered the army and commanded the three armies. For a while, the situation was stabilized.

Xuchang.

Since the fall of Cao Cao, the entire Cao Mansion has been shrouded in a cloud.

Cao Cao is lustful and has many wives and concubines.But now the person in charge of the Cao Mansion is still Cao Cao's original wife.Cao Cao respected this original wife very much, and even Cao Cao's younger brother Cao De had to listen to this sister-in-law.

One day, when Cao De came to Cao Cao's room, he happened to see his sister-in-law feeding Cao Cao porridge.

Cao De felt sore, thinking how powerful his elder brother was back then, but he didn't expect to end up like this today.

Mrs. Cao also saw Cao De coming in, so she said, "Second Uncle, come in quickly!"

"Sister-in-law, actually I have something I want to discuss with sister-in-law this time!"

"Second uncle, please say something!"

"Sister-in-law, do you remember my little sister?"

Cao De's little sister is Cao Qian!
Mrs. Cao nodded, only to hear Cao De continue to say: "Sister-in-law, do you remember that there are folk rumors that my brother-in-law Zhang De is a god who can call the wind and rain, so I want to take my elder brother to Beihai to see what Zhang De can do?" It can cure big brother!"

Mrs. Cao frowned, and said softly: "Second brother, why do you believe those rumors in the market, you must know that ghosts and gods are not credible at all, how can you believe those rumors!"

"Sister-in-law said something, but this is something that can't be helped. Think about it, sister-in-law. When Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang, it was a heavy rain that my brother-in-law begged to save Luoyang from the disaster! Maybe my brother-in-law is really capable, and now Big brother looks like this, why don't we give it a try, maybe we still have a chance!"

After Madam Cao heard this, she also felt that what Cao De said made sense. Although Madam Cao didn't believe in ghosts and gods, there was at least a hope in Zhang De. Now even if there is a glimmer of hope, I still have to give it a try!
Thinking of this, Mrs. Cao nodded: "Second Uncle, I will leave this matter to you!"

In the spring of the third year of Jianxing, it was the season of warm spring and flowers blooming. Zhang De once again gathered [-] soldiers in Jiangdong!
There are 3 horses, of which [-] are newly recruited Shanyue children.This is also the largest number of soldiers that Zhang De can gather at present. If there are more, I am afraid that the supplies alone will be able to wear down Zhang De.

In March of the third year of Jianxing, Zhang De appointed Wei Yan as the commander-in-chief and Pang Tong as the military adviser. Hao Zhao, Zhang Ying, Gao Lan, Sha Moke and others will join forces to send troops to Jiaozhou!

Jiaozhou is the southernmost state of the Han Dynasty. During the Three Kingdoms era, Jiaozhou included some places in Guangdong Province, Guangxi Province and Laos, covering a large area.

But Jiaozhou in the Three Kingdoms era was also the most sparsely populated place at that time, and it was also the place with the lowest development rate.Many places in Jiaozhou are undeveloped forests.Except for some local ethnic minorities, the people of Jiaozhou migrated here from those who could not get along in the Central Plains.

There are few people in Jiaozhou, so Zhang De feels that 3 people are enough to occupy Jiaozhou, and this time the military adviser is Pang Tong, who is the best strategist in the Three Kingdoms.

Wei Yan is the commander in chief and Pang Tong is the military adviser. This is a very strange combination.Wei Yan likes to compete for credit, and Pang Tong has just joined Zhang De, and he also needs some credit to prove himself, so the two get together, it can be said that they have similar tastes.Killing all the way, most of Jiaozhou was captured in a blink of an eye!

……

Zhang De entrusted Jiangdong to Tian Fenglai to be in charge, and at the same time appointed many local aristocratic families in Jiangdong as officials to appease the hearts of the people.Officials from Jiangdong such as Lu Xun and Quan Cong received more or less awards.

Tian Feng is also getting old, and he is not suitable to stay in a place as bitter and cold as Youzhou, so Zhang De arranged him in the warm south, firstly for the sake of Tian Feng's health, secondly, Tian Feng is an old man from a certain country, The situation in Jiangdong is complicated, and it is most appropriate to keep Tian Feng in Jiangdong.

……

At the end of the third year of Jianxing, Sima Yi and the three brothers of the Cao family had been deadlocked for a year.

At the beginning, the three brothers of the Cao family were always at a disadvantage, but gradually, after the three of them got familiar with the situation, they gradually showed their respective talents.

Cao Ang is very popular, both civil and military, but lacks the overall situation; the second Cao Pi has a good grasp of the overall situation; the third Cao Zhang is brave and good at leading troops, and the three complement each other.As the saying goes, three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang, and now the three brothers of the Cao family are of one mind, and Sima Yi really can't take advantage of it.

And Sima Yi also felt that he had sent troops for more than a year, and the soldiers also needed to rest, and Jia Xu in the south of Yongzhou had been restless, so Sima Yi felt that it was time for the troops to return to the court!

In Chang'an City.

"Father, I'm back!" When Sima Yi returned to Chang'an City, he first returned to his home.

"Zhongda, you're back!" Sima Fang had heard that Sima Yi's squadron had returned to the imperial court a long time ago, and now he was waiting for Sima Yi in the hall.Sima Yi's brothers also followed Sima Fang.

After the meal, Sima Yi was called into the room by Sima Fang.

"Zhong Da, it's going well this time!"

"Go back to father, everything is going well, I don't know if Chang'an City is okay during my time away!"

"Well, everything is safe!"

"What's happening over there, Your Majesty?" Sima Yi asked.

Sima Fang smiled disdainfully: "What else can I do? I'm still not the same, especially after being obsessed with the technique of longevity, thinking about immortality every day, and hanging out with those Taoist priests all day, you don't know, now Taoist priests are very popular in our Chang'an City! I heard that His Majesty likes the art of longevity, so many Taoist priests have come to our Chang'an City recently!"

Sima Yi nodded. The more stupid Liu Chan is, the better it is for him. Thinking about when I entered the city, I found that there were many Taoist priests on the road. Sima Yi smiled. If this Liu Chan is half as capable as his father Liu Bei , it is not like this!

……

The next day, early morning!

All the ministers have been waiting in the main hall for a long time, but there is still no sign of Emperor Liu Chan!

"It seems that His Majesty is not here early again today!"

"Yeah, it's been more than ten days now, Your Majesty has never been in the morning, and he is obsessed with alchemy all day long, hey..."

Sima Yi stood behind Sima Fang, watching all this coldly. Today Sima Yi wanted to ask for credit for the soldiers of the Eastern Expedition, but he did not expect that this Liu Chan would not go to the early court!

At this moment, Xiao Huangmen walked in and shouted in a high-pitched voice: "Your Majesty has a decree, not today!"
