The system takes me through the world

Chapter 81 Cai Zhaoji

After the Battle of Cangting, Cao Cao took only one year to rehabilitate, defeated Yuan Shao, recovered the four northern states, and sent his son Cao Zhang to conquer Wuheng in the north. At this time, the four counties of Liaodong that had been separated were taken back, and the north was truly unified, with unprecedented prestige and strength.

In June of the eighth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao abolished the Sangong, restored the prime minister system, and appointed himself the prime minister of the Han Dynasty.Naturally, the civil servants are prepared, and at the same time, the Xuanwu Pool is opened to train the water army, and the soldiers are ready to head south!
But one thing made Cao Cao temporarily stop going south!

In July, the southern Xiongnu Luan Tihu Chuquan Shanyu rebelled in the Pingyang area, looting the border residents and threatening the safety of Bingzhou.

In fact, since the southern Xiongnu belonged to the Han Dynasty, like all nomadic peoples, they have fallen and rebelled from time to time, which has had a great impact on the lives of the surrounding Han people!

In the fourth year of Zhongping, internal strife broke out in the southern Xiongnu. At this time, the Yellow Turban Army rebelled. Dong Zhuo "took the emperor to order the princes."As a result, a part of the Southern Xiongnu participated in the Yellow Turban Army's campaign against local tyrants, mainly in the north of the Yellow River and in the south of Bingzhou.

In December of this year, the various ministries of Xiutu and the nobles of the Southern Xiongnu worried that the Han Dynasty would not stop conscripting the Xiongnu army, rebelled against Shanyu, invaded the border, and caused chaos in the state.Dingxiang, Yunzhong, Wuyuan, Shuofang, and Shangjun all fled and dispersed.

In the first month of the fifth year of Zhongping, Xiu slaughtered Kou Xihe from various ministries, and attacked and killed Xing Ji, the governor of Xihe County.

In March of the fifth year of Zhongping, Xiutu's various ministries attacked and killed Zhang Yi, the governor of Bingzhou.Then he joined forces with Hu, the left part of the Southern Huns, who claimed to have 10 people, and killed them in the Qiang Canal.

In the second year of Xingping, the southern Xiongnu participated in the melee among the princes of the Central Plains and went down the Yellow River. Cai Zhaoji, the daughter of Cai Yong, was taken captive to the Xiongnu during this period.At this time, the Southern Huns had already occupied many counties and counties in the Yellow River Basin.

In the seventh year of Jian'an, Luan Tihu, the leader of the Southern Huns, surrendered to Cao Cao.For the sake of stability in the north, Cao Cao divided the Southern Huns into five divisions, each of which selected aristocrats as commanders, and selected Han people as Sima to supervise them.At the same time, Cao Cao also incorporated the middle and lower Huns in Bingzhou into the Han nationality.In this way, the southern Huns were completely integrated into the Central Plains regime, and the actual unification of northern China was completed.

But the greedy Southern Huns would not stop their plundering. Only one year later, Luan Tihu Chuquan Shanyu rebelled again, looting the Pingyang area and taking thousands of Han people away. He was once arrogant.

At this time, Cao Cao is planning the Southern Expedition. If he turns his troops to the north to attack the Southern Huns, although he can do his best, he will feel like a fierce horse tramples on ants. In addition, preparations for the Southern Expedition have already begun. If he goes to attack the Huns first , and then go back to fight Jingzhou, it is easy to cause soldiers to be exhausted and war-weary.

Guo Jiajin said: "There are ready-made candidates there, why should the prime minister bother?"

Cao Cao said, "Are you talking about Ziwen?"

Guo Jia said with a smile: "Ziwen's bravery is world-renowned, and he is training in Youzhou. It is just a matter of ordering him to use battle instead of training, to shock the Xiongnu, and to fulfill his ambition of Huo Qubing. Wouldn't it be great?"

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and said, "Why does Feng Xiao recommend Ziwen repeatedly?"

Guo Jia calmly said with a smile: "It's not that someone recommended Ziwen to the prime minister, but the prime minister blamed Ziwen for being too demanding."

Cao Cao was silent for a long time, nodded, and said: "In this case, I will order Ziwen to go west to Bingzhou, and use war instead of training!"

After a pause, Cao Cao said again: "It's time to find Zhao Ji!"

Zishi City (Fenyang) is located to the west of Xihe Lake (a large lake formed by the Fenshui River Basin), surrounding Xihe Lake, and is the residential area of ​​the Southern Huns delineated by the Han court.

Xihe was originally named Xihe Meiji.The Han court allocated this fertile land to the Southern Xiongnu to live in, and it was here that they cultivated their health, defeated the northern Xiongnu tribe, and further began to plunder the Han court's Shangdang, Fufeng, Tianshui, Shanggu, Zhongshan, and Shuofang , Wuyuan, Yunzhong, Dingxiang, Yanmen, Daijun and other counties.

In fact, at that time, according to the Confucian moral thought of "the benevolent is invincible", the Confucian doctors assigned all the fertile lands of Liang, Yong, Bing, and You prefectures to the inhabited alien settlements.Qiang, Di, Xiongnu, Jie, and Xianbei, the Wuhu fattened themselves up in this rich land, and then began to harm the people of the Central Plains.

The Confucian foolish thinking of sages outside and kings inside, cutting flesh and waiting for eagles, but suppressing one's own health and strength, causing one's own country to be ruined and one's family to be destroyed, and clothes to travel southwards, can be described as a disastrous scene in the history of China, but this kind of thing happened in history. Happens again and again!

When the news reached Youzhou, Chen was overjoyed and said to Ye Ke: "General, I have been training in Youzhou for almost a year, and I just took this opportunity to practice with the Huns!"

Gao Tao said: "Fuxing (Chen Gengzi), although we have trained [-] soldiers with Xuanyuan Exercise, but these soldiers are leftover from the original selection, and the ones we trained are stronger than ordinary soldiers. No matter how difficult it is to make progress, attacking the Xiongnu may not be so easy to fight!"

Chen Geng was silent.

But Ye Ke smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, I'll bring hundreds of carpenters there this time, and I'm sure it will not only improve the fighting spirit of the soldiers, but also teach the Southern Huns a lesson they will never forget!"

He stretched out his hand to flick the case, and said with a sinister smile, "I want them to know that knowledge is power!"

At the same time, by the West River, Cai Yan and Cai Zhaoji (Cai Wenji) wandered along the river with a big belly, crying like rain.

"The country of Yue Han enters Hucheng. It is better to be dead than to have no life. The felt fur is the clothes, the flesh and blood are shocked, and the mutton is the smell. It is in vain to suppress my feelings. The drums are noisy and bright from night, and the wind is vast and dark. Saihun camp...

Cai Zhaoji groaned intermittently, chanted and wept, sang and wailed, tears turning into blood, unable to speak.

At that time, in Luoyang, Cai Zhaoji was plundered by the Southern Huns and suffered endless torture and humiliation. With her peerless beauty, she was selected by King Zuo Xian of the Huns and became one of his more than ten concubines. I have suffered all the cold eyes, and I have also suffered all the insults from the dirty Huns!

But recently, the atmosphere in the tribe was strange. Those Xiongnu herdsmen who were usually kind and simple, suddenly suppressed their violence towards the looted Han women, and these women gained a little freedom of movement.

After staying in the Xiongnu tribe for seven or eight years, Cai Zhaoji vaguely guessed the reason for their change of attitude from what the Huns said: Cao Cao, his father's former disciple and friend in Luoyang, has now become a big man The prime minister of the dynasty, now sent his son Cao Zhang, the undisputed number one general in the world, to attack the Southern Huns and demand Cai Zhaoji from them.

The name of Cao Zhang was spread to the southern Xiongnu area a year ago. The Huns are not self-confident, because they often go to Han to plunder, so the news about the Central Plains has spread widely!

Cao Zhang was so brave that he split the gate of Liyang City with a halberd. Yuan Shao's three sons and nephew Gao Gan were all killed by him. Yuan Shao was also scared to death by vomiting blood.Later, they attacked Wuheng by surprise, and then Liaodong, and the whole north was smoothly brought under the rule of Cao Cao. Half of the credit was due to Cao Zhang!

"I am not greedy for life but hate death. I can't donate my body because I have a heart. I still want to live and return to my hometown, and I will die when I die." Cai Zhaoji groaned, looking at the sparkling lake.Looking forward to it in my heart: "Meng De, come quickly and save me back!"
