It's the last day, old and new, please support me again!
Ten thousand words broke out today.

Liu Guang!
The "Han dog" who gave him a snow mastiff and a dog slave back then, and the Marquis of Linyi who wanted to be friends with him, now belong to two camps with Cao Peng, and even fight to the death. Every time I think about Cao Peng,
You will feel regretful. But time is also fate, maybe from the beginning, they were destined to become enemies. On the top of the Yuhuang Mountain, I am afraid that this was the first and last time Cao Peng and Liu Guang talked.
At that time, Cao Peng had imagined that Liu Guang would step aside and stop interfering in Han family affairs.
But he also knew that it was just a fantasy.
As a clan member of the Han Dynasty, Liu Guang was destined to be unable to stand idly by. On the river, Saibei Muyuan was assassinated twice, which also made the hatred between Cao Peng and Liu Guang irresolvable. Today, Liu Guang is no longer the sunny boy.
, with the decline of the old ministers of the Han Dynasty, the family members had their own thoughts, and Liu Guang gradually became the mainstay of the Han Dynasty. Although he is very low-key and does not show off his appearance on weekdays. But if you ignore the existence of this person, you will definitely suffer a big loss.
!Cao Peng couldn't help but frowned when he thought about this...
Will there be contact between Zhou Buji and Liu Guang?
It was only then that Cao Peng discovered his biggest shortcoming: lack of information!
Although Xu Du and Xingyang were not far apart, he did not have the slightest understanding of Xu Du's situation, or Liu Guang's situation.
This also caused him to rely on guesswork most of the time after returning to the Central Plains, and was unable to obtain accurate information.
Perhaps, we should strengthen our control over Xu Du’s information?
Cao Peng returned to the desk, glanced down at the booklet on the table, and suddenly smiled bitterly...
You are still a prisoner now, why do you think so much? Cao Cao has countless strange people under his command, so he must have already made up his mind.
As for Cao Chong, what does it matter what he does?
I have been in Xingyang for so long, and I don’t want him to be with you in Xingyang like Cao Zhang, but coming to visit is not a trouble. However, Cao Chong has not shown up until now. But I heard before that Cao Chong had an accident recently.
He was seriously ill, so he rarely went out. But was he really ill? Cao Peng didn't know. I guess he was ill, and I don't know if he had recovered.
In any case, Cao Chong once respected him as "sir", and Cao Peng also invested his efforts in him...
The betrayal of his disciple... Perhaps betrayal cannot be used to describe Cao Chong. It might be more appropriate to call him "changed". The transformation of his disciple still made Cao Peng feel a little uncomfortable. Although he looked calm and calm on the outside, he was actually calm in his heart.
Deep down, it's quite sad.
Zhou Buyi undoubtedly played a bad role in this!
This guy is really hateful.
Cao Peng turned his homemade charcoal pen in his hand, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
Give up?
He bit his lip, his expression changing.
Sima Yi's whereabouts are now unknown, and it may not be easy to usurp Wei again. The future of the Cao family is still confusing at present. The Han emperor is still here, and Cao Cao will definitely not usurp the throne. That is not in line with his style. Cao Cao's style
Who will take over?
Thinking of this, Cao Peng couldn't help but sigh again.
The changes in the world are really too strange. Even Cao Peng dare not say that he can prepare to capture the pulse of this era.
The general trend has changed, what is the future?
Outside the window, the chirping of cicadas could be heard, which made Cao Peng feel a little sad...

In the late autumn of the 10th year of Jian'an, Jizhou had a good harvest.
As a city known for its abundance of money and food, Jizhou seems to have recovered its vitality after a good harvest. After a year of rest, Jizhou has finally recovered. However, it may still take a long time to return to its heyday.
It will take some time.
However, for Cao Cao, the good harvest in Jizhou also meant that the time was ripe to use troops to merge with the state.
Although since he promoted farming, he no longer has to worry about money and food. However, he is still extremely cautious and cautious when sending troops to Bingzhou.
Bingzhou is bitterly cold and the people's customs are fierce.
With both Hu and Han living together, it is quite complicated.
To put it bluntly, during the ten years of Jian'an, Cao Cao was not yet ready to take charge of feeding and clothing hundreds of thousands of people in Bingzhou.
Once the war begins, the countryside will inevitably be deserted and refugees will appear everywhere. Jizhou and Qingzhou have already put Cao Cao under tremendous pressure. If Bingzhou is added to the mix, it will inevitably be difficult. What's more, at the beginning of the 10th year of Jian'an, Cao Cao must consider Beizhou.
The problem of foreigners in Xinjiang. Occupying Bingzhou means that he will face the foreigners in northern Xinjiang directly, which will inevitably make his burden heavier.
Today, Jizhou has a good harvest.
Although it cannot reach its peak, it can at least be self-sufficient without the need to transport resources from other regions.
You know, Cao Cao's pressure is not just in Hebei. The northwest also has to bear huge pressure... In the past year, the resources transported to Guanzhong through Heluo can amount to hundreds of millions. Fortunately, Liangzhou is temporarily stable, and Northwest Shang
The road has begun to take shape, which relieves some of the pressure. Otherwise, just Liangzhou would probably consume a year's income of Yuzhou. How amazing is that?
Today, under Cao Cao's rule, only Qingzhou is left that has not yet recovered its vitality.
However, because Qingzhou is adjacent to Xuzhou, and the wealth created by Haixi is enough to support Qingzhou through a period of famine, so it finally took a breath of relief.
Next, it’s Bingzhou!
In the midsummer of the 10th year of Jian'an, Kebineng finally launched an attack on Yanliyou.
Moreover, Hexi County increased its exports to Mobei this year, and could not help but provide sufficient guarantee for food and grass, including a large amount of ordnance supplies. It exported to Mobei through various channels and methods, making Tanzhe and
After leaving Bei, the strength of the two men increased greatly. Liu Bao took advantage of the natural chasm of the river and joined forces with high-ranking cadres to finally stabilize his position. But in this way, the support that the Southern Xiongnu could provide to the high-ranking cadres became minimal.
.Cao Cao believed that the time was ripe to kill high-ranking cadres and he could launch an attack...
But unexpectedly, just when Cao Cao was about to attack, Sun Quan of the Eastern Wu Dynasty suddenly sent troops.
Sun Quan used Lujiang Governor Taishi Ci and Zhonglang to divide Lu Su's troops into two groups. Taishi Ci sent troops from Tongxiang to capture Lu'an, while Lu Su attacked across the river, captured Xiang'an, and marched to Chaohu. At the same time, Zhou Yu, the commander-in-chief of the navy,
, also led his troops down the river and went straight to Ruxukou.
Li Dian, the governor of Jiujiang, led the troops to attack. Unexpectedly, just as Li Dian was attacking, Mei Cheng from Lujiang suddenly rebelled.
This Mei Cheng is a wealthy businessman from Lujiang, and his family is well off.
He colluded with Chen Lan, gathered thousands of people, raised troops in Di, and quickly captured six counties. The city was ruined and the people were displaced. Li Dian immediately led his troops to rush to the rescue, but was ambushed by Lu Su. He lost his troops and retreated to Jiujiang. For a time, Huainan became a storm.
, there was a constant exchange of letters.
After Xun Yu got the news, he immediately flew on horseback to report to Cao Cao.
When Cao Cao heard this, he was shocked.
If Jiujiang County is lost, it means he has lost his bridgehead in Huainan.
At that time, Sun Quan will control six counties in Jiangdong, and with the two counties of Lujiang and Jiujiang, he can attack Huaibei at any time and make the situation corrupt.
In contrast, Gao Gan and Yuan Xi became no longer important.
If the Jianghuai River is corrupted, Cao Cao's efforts to manage the situation for many years will surely fall short.
So Cao Cao immediately ordered to stop using troops against high-ranking cadres. He ordered Zhang Liao and Zhang Yan to continue to attack Yuan Xi. At the same time, he ordered Cao Xiu and Xin Pi to garrison Xiabian to guard against sneak attacks by high-ranking cadres. After that, he immediately dispatched troops and horses.
, ordered Yu Jin and Zang Ba to quickly send reinforcements to Jiujiang, and ordered Xu Zhu, the governor of Xuzhou, to send troops for reinforcements, and then sent Li Tong Niugai of Yuzhou to send troops to Cai, ready to cross the Huaihe River to attack at any time.
Fortunately, Li Dian finally regained his footing after experiencing repeated defeats.
He defended Hefei and kept Ruxukou intact... When Cao's troops crossed the Huaihe River from Huaibei in a steady stream, Taishi Ci and Lu Su had to change their offense to defense and confront Li Dian at Ruxukou.

Hulao Pass belongs to Chenggao County and is governed by Xingyang.
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the three heroes of Hulao Pass fought against Lu Bu... Haha, it's pure nonsense. And the so-called "warming wine to kill Hua Xiong" is even more unclear. Because this Sishui Pass is actually Hulao Pass. In 598 AD, that is
In the 18th year of the founding of the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty changed the name of Gao to Sishui County. After entering the Tang Dynasty, in order to avoid the name taboo of Li Yuan's grandfather Li Hu, Hulao Pass was changed to Wulao Pass, and then it was also called Sishui Pass.
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, there are twenty-two princes attacking Dong Zhuo, but the Warm Wine Killing Hua Xiong and the Three Heroes Fighting Lu Bu are not real.
In fact, the person who killed Hua Xiong was not Guan Yu, but Sun Jian.
Hulao Pass is connected to Songyue Mountain in the south and the Yellow River in the north. It is surrounded by mountains and crisscross mountains. It is a natural danger. If one man is in charge of the pass, ten thousand people cannot break it. It is the eastern gateway of the ancient capital Luoyang, and it is also a battleground for military strategists of all ages.
Cao Cao withdrew his troops from Jizhou and arrived in Chenggao via Hanoi.
Standing on Paoma Ridge, Cao Cao looked back and saw the surging river in the distance, surrounded by a jade belt, and the scenery was extremely spectacular.
An inexplicable emotion suddenly arose in his heart, and he couldn't help but sigh.
"If it weren't for Jiangdong Biyaner, I would have stationed troops all the way to the Tianshan Mountains."
There was a sense of loss and a sense of hatred in his words.
On the other hand, Guo Jia looked very relaxed and smiled slightly, "My lord, why should you worry? If you don't take that high-ranking official today, you will take it sooner or later. There is no need to rush. Jia Jin's worry is Sun Zhongmou from Jiangdong. Biyan'er has already gained momentum.
It will be a serious problem in the end.”
"yes!"
Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh secretly.
At the same time, there was a trace of sadness in my heart.
If Zi Ding was still there, or if Zi Huan had not died in the battle, he would have been able to stand alone if he had no choice.
Now, he has many heirs, but none of them is capable of taking on important responsibilities. Cao Zhang is currently studying, Cao Zhi sings about the wind and moonlight all day long, and Cao Chong is young. Among these three, Cao Cao can't tell who is suitable. Each has its own strengths.
, but their respective shortcomings are also very obvious.
"By the way, how far is it from Xingyang?"
Cao Cao suddenly turned around and asked Guo Jia.
In fact, how could he not know the distance from Hulao Pass to Xingyang?
I remember that when the Suanzao Alliance formed an alliance and twenty-two princes attacked Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao once led his troops to attack Xingyang.
"Xingyang?"
Guo Jia was startled and then realized, "It's only half a day's journey. By the way, I remember isn't Ah Fu now in Xingyang? In total, my lord has not seen Ah Fu for three years. Now that he's here,
Here, why not go to Xingyang and take a break.
If my lord is interested, I am willing to go with you.
Ke Mingzi and his troops went straight to Jingxian County. At that time, we will change the route from Xingyang and meet at Jingxian County... I heard that Xingyang has been under good rule in the past six months. Ah Fu seems to be with someone again, in Xudu
A lucky paper building was built, and it is said that its reputation is very loud."
How could Cao Cao not know about the establishment of Fuzhilou?
In fact, on the day Fuzhilou opened, Xun Yu sent a letter to Yecheng to inform Cao Cao.
Paper prices are down!
The types of paper introduced by Fu Zhi Lou made Cao Cao dumbfounded.
In the past, Zuo Bo paper, which required at least five pieces of paper, is now almost no one interested in Fu Zhi Lou. Many people have changed their interest, some like cold gold paper, some like colorful paper and cloud pattern paper, among which the most popular
There is nothing more welcome than the newly launched White Deer Paper...
Cao Cao has never seen the white deer paper.
But I’ve heard its name for a long time!
It is said that the manufacturing process of this kind of paper is extremely complicated and difficult.
However, it is an extremely rare paper for calligraphy and painting. The paper quality has changed from the characteristics of yellow-dyed paper and plain paper in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. It is as white and smooth as jade, with long and thick fibers, making it full of toughness. The surface is as smooth as silk, and the texture is smooth.
It is not soft. And because the paper texture is like a deer pattern, it is named white deer paper, or deer pattern paper. This kind of white deer paper has become the most expensive paper on the market.
Each piece of white deer paper has a fixed size, one foot and two feet, so it is also called Zhang Er Jian.
There are only ten pieces per sword, worth thirty-eight guan. Most people can only stay away from it, but the sales volume is very good, and you need to order it in advance to get it.
It is said that the upper class in Xudu, where the literati gathered, were all proud of reciting poems and painting on white deer paper.
Among them, Lu Hunshan Hu Zhao, Yingchuan Zhong Yao and others were full of praise for this white deer paper, which made white deer paper expensive and not marketable.
Cao Zhi once wrote to Cao Cao, specifically mentioning the white deer paper, hoping that Cao Cao could find a way to get some for him.
There is no other reason...this white deer paper is too expensive!
It was so expensive that even Cao Zhi didn't dare to use it extravagantly, so he was extra cautious.
This shows how precious this white deer paper is.
Cao Cao couldn't help but smile bitterly, "I asked Ah Fu to go to Xingyang to cultivate his character and hone his temperament. I didn't expect that this kid would be uneasy wherever he went. It's only been half a year and he has done such a thing. Zijian had written a letter before, begging for help.
I asked Ah Fu for some white deer paper.
I replied directly to him, you still know that the white deer paper is available, but I haven’t seen it yet, how can I ask for it?”
Guo Jia couldn't help laughing when he heard this.
"I have also known this deer pattern paper for a long time, but I have never used it.
I used to write long letters using this white deer paper, and I was very proud of it... But I also asked my uncle and grandson, and that guy only had ten knives in stock. He let me beg and refused to give it to me. This time when I arrived in Xingyang,
I must find that Ah Fu and give him a good explanation."
Cao Cao couldn't help but smile when he heard this.
He knew the relationship between Guo Jia and the Cao family both inside and outside.
The more Guo Jia is so honest, the more it proves that he is selfless in his heart.
After hearing these words, Cao Cao smiled and said: "You guy... I'm afraid Ah Fu is going to be in pain again!"
Surrounded by cronies, Cao Cao had no need to hide anything.
On the side, Yang Di was so curious that he couldn't help but asked softly: "My lord, is the Ah Fu you are talking about the same as Cao Sanpian?"
Cao Cao nodded and said: "Exactly."
"That blessing paper was created by Mr. Cao?"
Guo Jia laughed and said, "Zi Lu didn't know something. You learned that his nickname was Ah Fu. The '福' on this blessing paper comes from his nickname."
By the way, it seems that Zi Lu and Ah Fu are somewhat related."
Yang Di was startled, "Relationship?"
"Does Zilu know Zhaoji?"
Yang Xi said: "Of course I know, that is my wife's sister... But she seems to have nothing to do with Mr. Cao. I just heard that she was once rescued by Mr. Cao and now lives in Wuwei. This word "related" also means
Where to start?”
Cao Cao couldn't help but laugh!
He pointed to Guo Jia, "Fengxiao, how can you tell Zilu about this hearsay?"
"Although it's just hearsay, I think there is some truth in this."
Cao Cao shook his head repeatedly, and when he saw the confused look on Yang Xi's face, he explained: "Zi Lu didn't know something. When I heard that Zhao Ji was living outside the Great Wall, I took advantage of Ah Fu's mission to the north of the Great Wall and asked him to try to bring Zhao Ji back.
Ji. Unexpectedly, this kid actually joined forces with Heishui Xianbei, attacked Liu Bao's old camp, and kidnapped Zhaoji, mother and son... After Zhaoji returned, she settled in Hexi for unknown reasons. Later,
I went to Guzang with Ah Fu. As for the connection Feng Xiao mentioned... forget it, let him talk about it."
Every man has the blood of gossip boiling in his heart.
Even Cao Cao is no exception.
However, in front of his subordinates, talking about the scandal of the other party's sister-in-law was a bit inappropriate and inhumane. Therefore, Cao Cao pretended to leave with his hands behind his back, seemingly not caring, but those two straight ears
"Na Zilu must also know that after Youxue killed Wei Duan, the Guanzhong gentry were filled with indignation and vowed to kill Youxue for revenge?"
"I know a thing or two about this."
"Does Ke Zilu know why the Guanzhong gentry suddenly stopped?"
Yang Di shook his head in confusion, "I'm not sure about this.
I just heard that Huangfu Jianshou and Hedong Wei suddenly spoke, and then the voice gradually stopped and no one mentioned it again."
Guo Jiadao: "But I heard people say that when those people in Guanzhong were making the most violent noise, Miss Cai took her daughter in a light carriage and visited Huangfu Jianshou, Wei Qi, Hongnong Yang Wenxian and others one by one.
After struggling to plead for Ah Fu, the three of them finally agreed to come forward to speak out."
"ah?"
Yang Di was really surprised.
Hongnong Yang Wenxian was the Taiwei Yang Biao, who could be described as Cao Cao's political enemy.
But after being punished by Man Chong before, he became disheartened and returned to his hometown in Hongnong to retire.
Guo Jia said: "When Dong Zhuo controlled the government, Huangfu Yizhen and Yang Wenxian were jealous one after another and almost died. Fortunately, your father-in-law came forward to intercede, which alleviated the situation and rescued Huangfu Yizhen from the sword.
It was with this relationship that Miss Cai persuaded the two of them to come forward. As for Wei Qian, he was an uncle from the Wei Zhong Tao clan, and Miss Cai also begged hard before she nodded.
If not..."
Guo Jia winked and looked like "you understand".
But it made Yang Di feel like he was in trouble.
Could it be that there is really some confusion between the eldest sister and Mr. Cao?
Just when he was thinking, he heard Cao Cao say: "Let's go back and clean up, then go to Xingyang and see what that bastard is doing now. Zilu, go inform Zihe and let him go
Jing County is waiting, and then we will set off together."
