Chenliucheng is located south of the Yellow River and Jishui River, east of Luoyang, the capital of the Han Dynasty, not far from the Taihang Mountains and Mount Tai, and located in the heart of the Central Plains.
Controlling Chenliu, you can attack the counties of Qi by heading east and north, turn to the southeast and attack the Jianghuai counties, cross the Yellow River north to look at Hebei, and march westward to target the counties of Sili.
Although the city is small, it is located at a strategic point and can be said to be connected in all directions. It is actually a place where hundreds of battles can be fought.
Cao Dabai turned to Chenliu and raised an army to overthrow Dong. It was precisely because this was his hometown. It had a favorable location and good people, so he could attack when he advanced, but he could defend when he retreated.
The only drawback is that it is too close to the plains, and you have to worry about Mad Dog Lin's army heading south at any time.
Nowadays, among the princes in the world, Lin Feng is already sitting on top of each other, second only to Dong Zhuo and Dong Zhongying, the public enemies of the world, in terms of reputation.
Why Xun You and Cheng Yu desperately encouraged Cao Cao's group to send troops southward and take the risk of offending the old Yuan family to capture Yuzhou was precisely because of their strategic plan to stay away from the mad dog as much as possible.
This was Lin Feng's first time coming to Chenliu City.
The Liu family in Yecheng eventually moved their entire family, reluctantly abandoning their nearly century-old business in Yecheng.
On the surface, the excuse was to avoid Lin Feng, who would have a fight with Cao Cao sooner or later. In fact, Liu Zhi wanted to strengthen the relationship with his close nephew Cao Ang.
Cao Cao had the Young Emperor of the Han Dynasty in his hands, and on the surface he was upright. Although the imperial seal was brought to the plain by Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, his status as the legitimate son of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was enough to make more than 60% of the world's powerful people regard the Han Dynasty as a legitimate one.
Lin Feng has confirmed in the game that the three pillars of the Han Dynasty Zhonglang General's Mansion, Lu Zhi, Zhu Jun, and Huangfu Song, have all gone to Chenliu as officials, but they are not classified into Cao Cao's camp, but as Han ministers.
In the name of coming to defend the Young Emperor of Han Dynasty.
Fortunately, due to the rise of brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, the leaders of the scribes group, the Runan family, did not publicly support Chen Liu, so Yuan Wei, Yang Biao and other lonely and important ministers did not flock to Chen Liu's temporary small court.
What puzzles Lin Feng the most is that Wang Yun, an old bastard full of tricks, actually stayed in Chang'an and helped Dong Zhuo with peace of mind.
I don’t know whether Wang Yunzheng was holding it back, or whether he was actually instigated by Dong Zhuo.
Without Diao Chan, the most beautiful woman in the Three Kingdoms, Wang Yun obviously can no longer sing the big drama of Feng Yiting and his son turning against each other, but Lin Feng really dare not underestimate this old conspirator who spends all his time in the gutter. Who knows how much evil he has hidden in his belly
Son.
At present, Cao Dabailian has just led his army to capture Yingchuan, and is leading Xun You in Yingchuan to prepare troops and take aim at Yuan Shu's home base of Runan.
Yuan Shu foolishly fell into Xun You's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain, and he fought fiercely with Liu Yao and Sun Jian in Yangzhou, staging a Yangzhou version of the Three Kingdoms.
Therefore, Lin Feng had no scruples at all and followed Liu Zhi, Liu Xiang and his son, riding into Chenliucheng.
Zhu Jun and the others will feel uncomfortable no matter how idle they are.
He would not condescend to come to greet Liu Zhi and his two sons. Even Cao Ang did not come to greet his uncle and cousin in person. Instead, he only sent two close family members to quietly lead Liu Zhi and his party in through the side door.
Went to Cao Mansion.
Lin Feng was followed by Dian Wei and Pei Yuanshao, the two generals, who pretended to have never seen the world. Looking left and right, they seemed to be shocked by the prosperity of Chenliu.
Cheng Yu was indeed one of the main plotters around Cao Dabailian. He managed the small Chenliu City in an orderly manner and made peace and prosperity possible.
People were coming and going on the street, rubbing shoulders and rubbing shoulders, and it looked like a prosperous city. It was impossible to tell that Chenliu was just a small city not much bigger than the county seat six months ago.
After entering Cao Mansion, Lin Feng was even more shocked.
Cao Dabai Lian is indeed extremely luxurious, with exotic flowers and plants everywhere, carved beams and painted buildings, which can be compared with the Imperial Garden of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty in Luoyang.
After bypassing a small artificial pond with a radius of only a few dozen feet, Ang, the eldest son of the Cao Mansion, met Liu Zhi and his son in the inner courtyard.
Cao Ang is just fourteen years old this year, not even fifteen years old when the system recognizes him as an adult. The little guy has a childish look on his face. The apricot-yellow embroidered silk scribe's shirt on his body looks a bit coquettish. There is neither a headscarf nor a turban on his head.
When wearing a crown, the long hair is simply rolled up into a hairpin and pinned with a dragon-headed jade hairpin.
Seeing Liu Zhi coming in, Cao Ang's face was full of surprise: "Well, my uncle, I'm here to greet you."
How could Liu Zhi really ask Cao Ang to worship him? His biological sister is gone. Although it is said that meeting your uncle is like meeting your mother, this is just an ordinary family. With Cao Ang's current authority and status, he is willing to recognize a country boy like him.
An old uncle who is like a rich man is extremely rare.
Taking two steps quickly, he opened his arms and held Cao Ang in his arms. Liu Zhi choked and shouted: "Ang'er, Ang'er, seeing your uncle is like seeing your unlucky mother. My sister doesn't have this."
What a blessing!”
The uncle and nephew hugged each other and cried. Liu Xiang also hurriedly came over to hold his father's arm and shed a few tears with him.
Lin Feng curled his lips in disdain. If Cao Ang really cared about this uncle, why wouldn't he go to the city gate to greet him in person?
Alas, life is like a play, it all depends on acting. When watching this crying scene, I really thought it was the deep love between uncle and nephew.
After the three of them cried a few times, Cao Ang raised his head and wiped his tears. He supported Liu Zhi with both hands and asked him to sit down. He stood aside respectfully and said in a trembling voice: "Uncle, when my mother was still alive, she often talked about her
When my mother-in-law was a girl, I was quite favored by my uncle. Today, when my nephew sees his uncle, it is like seeing his mother again."
Liu Zhi lowered his head and sighed repeatedly, but did not speak.
Liu Heng took the opportunity to interject: "Cousin Zixiu, when he was a child, he was loved by his aunt. He still sheds tears when he thinks about his voice and appearance during his lifetime. My father cannot even hear my aunt's name. Every time he reunites to pay homage to his ancestors,
I will be sad that my brother and sister will never see each other again."
The three actors performed the tragic scene perfectly, exchanging lines that made each other cry, and it took them a long time to finally get to the point.
"Uncle, my nephew heard someone say that our Liu family actually spent all their money and food to gather three thousand soldiers and horses to attack King Chen Liuqin?"
Liu Zhi nodded like he was talking: "Yes, my uncle heard in Yecheng that his sister-in-law Meng De had raised an army in Chenliu to fight against the traitor Dong Zhuo, and supported His Majesty, who had been thrown from the throne by Dong's traitor, to re-assume the throne. Blood immediately rushed into his chest and he was so excited.
I can't do it myself. The Liu family is weak and has little money, so they can't give Meng De more support. They can only grit their teeth and gather three thousand rebels. Even though they can't relieve my sister-in-law from all kinds of difficulties, they are still willing to do their best."
Cao Ang was overjoyed and saluted: "On behalf of my father, Ang thanked my uncle for his sincere loyalty to the country."
After saying that, Cao Ang looked up at Lin Feng and the others, frowned and asked, "Uncle, please tell me who these three heroes are?"
Liu Zhi's heart was beating wildly: "Ang'er, these are the three commanders of Liu's rebel army. They are famous heroes in Heshuo area for a long time. They are all brave enough to be unstoppable by ten thousand people."
Cao Ang's voice became colder: "Can you trust me?"
Liu Xiang patted his chest and promised: "Cousin Zixiu, please relax. The three commanders of Gudao Rechang heard about Liu's uprising and were willing to repay the country's kindness with their blood."
Cao Ang let out a long breath: "That's very good. My nephew won't hide it from my uncle. We are all close relatives. It would be better if we talk to each other sooner or later."
Liu Zhi and Liu Xiang nodded desperately: "Of course, of course, there is no need to hide things between close relatives. If you have anything to say, you can say it directly."
Cao Ang frowned: "After my mother passed away, my nephew was raised by my mother. Three years ago, my father took Bian's daughter as his concubine. This woman was very scheming and very good at charming. Her father was so fascinated that he didn't want to leave her even for a moment. Now my nephew has received two new brothers."
At this point, Cao Ang's face became ferocious: "What's especially hateful is that the Bian daughter relied on her father's favor and behaved more and more erratically. She actually dared to provoke her in front of her mother many times. Although the nephew has the status of the eldest son, his father's subordinates There are still some hard-working people who gather around the eldest brother who is less than three years old, trying to persuade his father to abolish his mother's position as the head wife in the name of being childless, and to help the Bian daughter fly to the top."
Liu Zhi was immediately frightened and trembled all over. This was not bad. If Mrs. Bian got the title of head wife, then Cao Ang would no longer be the eldest son of the Cao family. The uncle of a concubine was not an identity that could be put on the table.
"Who is it that wants to commit such a heinous act?"
Cao Ang squeezed out a name through his teeth: "Chen Gong Chen Gongtai."
Lin Feng, who was standing aside, suddenly frowned.
Is Chen Gong crazy?
How dare you get involved in Cao Dabai's family affairs? Is it because you have never died once in your life, so you are so ignorant and fearless, and have the courage to commit such a death-seeking behavior like a mouse licking a cat's nose?
