Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

"Attack Xuzhou?" Cao Cao couldn't help being stunned when he heard the words. He really wanted to attack Xuzhou, but Xuzhou didn't mean that he could fight.

Xuzhou Mu Taoqian has always been known for his benevolence, righteousness and kindness. The people under his rule support him very much, and he has a very high reputation in Xuzhou.

Moreover, although Tao Qian is kind, he has a straight personality, and in military and political affairs, he actually has some means.

Tao Qian led an army to suppress the Yellow Turban in his early years, and later joined the alliance of princes to conquer Dong Zhuo.

Although the Danyang soldiers under his command have gradually declined, it is actually not that simple to deal with him.

But the biggest obstacle to attacking Xuzhou at present is that there is still no good excuse.

Now when dispatching troops, we will pay attention to the reputation of each division,

If there is no reason to raise troops to attack a state shepherd with a very high reputation,

So whether it is official or private, Boss Cao is bound to fall into a very passive situation.

fearful words,

Although the public opinion of this era is not as fierce as that of later generations, it is still daunting.

Yanzhou was originally the place of the Four Wars.

If the people around use this incident as an excuse to unite against Cao Cao,

Boss Cao will really have a big deal at that time, and it will be a big deal.

But for Xuzhou, Cao Cao is determined to win in his heart, and only by taking Xuzhou can the Cao Group break the dilemma of being surrounded by tigers and wolves.

Xuzhou has six counties under its jurisdiction, namely: Pengcheng, Xiapi, Donghai, Langya, Dongguan, and Guangling. The geographical location is extremely important.

It is located at the intersection of Bianshui and Surabaya, and is a water transport hub for the Jianghuai River and the Central Plains.

Pengcheng and Xiapi control the land traffic line, go north to the Yellow River, go south to the Jianghuai River, and go west to the Central Plains of Yanzhou.

Therefore Xuzhou is not only known as "the key of the northern country", but also known as "the important town of the southern country".

Whoever controls Xuzhou controls the hub of going north to the Yellow River, south to the Huaihe River, and west to the Central Plains, so Xuzhou has always been a battleground for military strategists!

If Cao Cao wins Xuzhou, he can advance, attack, retreat and defend, and he will have more strategic choices.

Therefore, attacking Xuzhou has always been the primary goal in Cao Cao's mind, but because the timing is not ripe, he has been suppressing his own ideas.

Lu Yan suddenly mentioned the matter of attacking Xuzhou in front of Cao Cao today, and all the thoughts in Cao Cao's mind were immediately seduced.

"Xuzhou is located in an important position, extending in all directions and easy to defend but difficult to attack. I really want to own it.

It's just that if you want to send troops to attack Tao Qian, a state shepherd with a high reputation, you still need to find an excuse that will convince the world. "

This is undoubtedly difficult.

Seeing Cao Cao's frowning look, Lu Yan just smiled and didn't say much.

In fact, Lu Yan just asked out of curiosity. After all, after the old man Cao was rescued, the most direct reason for Cao Cao to attack Xuzhou was gone.

Even if Tao Qian wanted to use Tao Qian's assassination of the old man Cao as an excuse to raise troops, but the old man Cao was still alive, so the excuse seemed much weaker.

However, as long as people want to find excuses, they can find them anyway.

As for how to find an "excuse to attack Xuzhou", that is not something that Lu Yan should worry about.

Lu Yan aroused Cao Cao's "fire of desire" towards Xuzhou, but he did not point out a clear way for Boss Cao to "rescue his fire".

Boss Cao saw Lu Yan stand up and leave, so he left irresponsibly.

He now feels as if he is being hung in mid-air, he can't get up and down, and he is very uncomfortable.

"No, I have to find something to vent about, or I will be suffocated to death today..."

Not to mention that Boss Cao is looking for something to vent his depression,

It is said that Lu Yan returned to his residence and saw Zhao Yun.

Lu Yan told him about sending Zhao Yun to Langya County in Xuzhou to escort Mrs. Cao to Yanzhou.

"Mr. Cao is an act of the utmost filial piety. Zilong will go now." Zhao Yun's answer was straightforward, and he approved of this act of filial piety with all his hands and feet.

Seeing that Zhao Yun had no problem, and Lu Yan certainly had no problem, he said to Zhao Yun:

"Since that's the case, please take care of Zilong, and see you later!"

Zhao Yun clasped his fists and replied to Lu Yan: "Take care, sir! If you return to Chenliu, please send my regards to Ziheng."

"No problem, that guy Ziheng has been practicing very hard recently, maybe it won't be long before you can fight side by side on the battlefield!"

"That's great!" Zhao Yun was overjoyed, clasped his fists again and said gratefully, "Yun Xian thanked Mr. for his teaching on Zi Heng's behalf!"

Lu Yan waved his hand and said, "There's no need to be polite between us. Just remember to bring Mrs. Cao to Yanzhou and return to Chenliu as soon as possible."

"Don't worry sir, Zilong will always remember it!"

Looking at Zhao Yun's back as he turned and left, Lu Yan suddenly sighed.

Xi Zhicai has already returned to his job,

Guo Jia is still at Boss Cao's house, and it is estimated that his heart was also abducted by Boss Cao.

Even Zhao Yun left at this moment, Lu Yan suddenly felt empty around him, a little unaccustomed to it...

"Prefect Lu, when are we leaving for Chenliu County?"

A voice full of pets suddenly came,

It was only then that Lu Yan remembered that he seemed to have kidnapped someone too!

Turning around to look at Man Chong who was standing respectfully not far behind, Lu Yan patted Man Chong on the shoulder enthusiastically and said:

"Go, let's go home now!"

Chapter 54 Boss Cao suddenly woke up

After staying in Juancheng for many days, Lu Yan now misses Chen Liucheng a little.

What should be done and what should not be done are almost done. After simply packing up, Lu Yan and Man Chong left Juancheng and headed towards Chen Liu.

"Da da da!"

A sound of horseshoes came from the city gate, followed by Guo Jia's clear and hoarse voice, "Wait for me! Changsheng, wait for me!"

After hearing Guo Jia's voice,

Lu Yan and Man Chong grabbed the reins and turned around, looking at Guo Jia who was galloping out of the city gate.

The clothes on Guo Jia's body and the square scarf on his head looked a little messy, and some hair that wasn't tied in was even fluttering with its fangs and claws.

Lu Yan looked at Guo Jia, who was in a panic and hurriedly, with a look of surprise, and asked, "You are... what happened to you?"

Guo Jia was baffled by Lu Yan's question, with a dazed look on his face, "What...what is it? I've been with the lord all this time, who can do anything to me?"

"It's nothing..." Lu Yan casually said something perfunctory, and said:

"But I still have to thank you, it's rare that you still have the heart to send us off.

Unlike Xi Zhicai, who only had work, work and work in his eyes, he didn't even take a look when we left. "

Guo Jia answered casually while arranging his clothes and headgear:

"I'm not here to see you off, I'm here to go back to Chenliu with you."

Guo Jia's words made Lu Yan stunned, and he asked: "No, you and Mr. Cao were so good that you fell asleep two days ago, and you only need to share the same bed... Mr. Cao didn't keep you by his side?"

"The lord tried his best to keep me, but I still rejected him after all."

Listen, although Guo Jia himself said that he rejected Boss Cao's offer to stay,

But the title has subconsciously changed from Cao Gong to Lord, and he said he was unwilling, but his body was very honest.

Guo Jia didn't seem to realize that he had changed his mind, he just said to Lu Yan on his own:

"I think that Yanzhou was initially established, and Yingchuan County was newly acquired.

What the Lord wants to do now is not to expand again, but should be like what Mr. Xiaoxian said: 'repair farming and planting, and store military resources'.

If it is recuperating, I will not be able to display my talent even if I stay in Juancheng.

It's better to skip work, drink, and burn your feet with you, Lu Yan. "

What is this last sentence called?

Lu Yan couldn't help but glared at Guo Jia, then winked at him frantically, indicating that there was a newcomer behind him!

"Why can't you come to BB after checking the situation?"

The tacit understanding formed by hooking shoulders and backs for a long time allowed Guo Jia to quickly understand the meaning of Lu Yan's face and eyes.

He looked behind Lu Yan in embarrassment, only to realize that there was really another person behind Lu Yan...

"Changsheng, where did you kidnap someone back?" Guo Jia used a joke to resolve the embarrassment of the scene,

Then he cupped his hands and asked Man Chong: "I'm Guo Jia, Guo Fengxiao, dare to ask your brother's name?"

When Man Chong heard it, it turned out to be Guo Jia who planned to defeat Yuan Shu's army, and immediately bowed his hands and said:

"I am full of pets, whose name is Bo Ning, and the name of Guo Junshi's pets has long been heard, and seeing him today is enough to comfort my whole life!"

"Hehe, this brother is quite good at talking." Guo Jia happily received the full of favors.

Lu Yan saw that there were more pedestrians coming and going. In order not to affect other people, the three of them immediately set off to return to Chenliu County.

......

"I really didn't expect, but in just a few days, Feng Xiao has become my confidant."

After Guo Jia left, Cao Cao suddenly felt a sense of loss, and there was always something empty in his heart...

"Forget it, anyway, there should be no more wars in the near future, so let him go back with Mr. Lu to be cool.

It just so happens that I'm free today, and I can finally take a good look at Mr. Lu's diary..."

After Cao Cao sat down at the table, he poured himself a cup of tea soup, and began to read the diary that Lu Yan had accumulated for so many days.

[Chuping three years, winter, it's time to snow again]

"Well... another year has passed before you know it, but this year is a good harvest year, and I, Cao Mengde, have finally officially become a vassal."

With a fairly good mood, Boss Cao continued to look down,

[One will succeed, ten thousand bones will die...]

【I took [-] Erlang out, but I brought back [-] ashes...】

When Lu Yan wrote this, his heart was extremely heavy, and Boss Cao seemed to feel the same way when he saw this.

However, Cao Cao is used to seeing life and death, and he has a strong heart, so he still has some shortcomings in Lu Yan's mentality.

"It's a good thing, sir, to take good care of the soldiers, but there are bound to be casualties in wars. After all, you are still too soft-hearted."

[The only thing I can do now is to get more pensions for the dead soldiers, at least not let their families starve and suffer from cold. 】

[I think another martyr's shrine should be built to commemorate these warriors who sacrificed their lives to defend their homeland and protect their families. 】

When Cao Cao read this, he suddenly patted his forehead in annoyance,

"It turns out that Mr. has mentioned it in his diary...It's a pity that Mr. is so sincere, but I didn't realize it in time.

It's all my fault, I didn't update the diary in time, alas! "

After a moment of annoyance, Cao Cao continued to look down.

Looking at it this way,

suddenly!

With a sound of "Pfft!!!",

The tea soup in Cao Cao's mouth was choked by himself and sprayed out of his nose!

"Ahem cough!!!" Boss Cao frantically wiped the tea mixed with an unknown liquid from the diary,

"It's okay, I don't know what to do with this diary. It can be protected from water and fire. Otherwise, if you ruin this kind of fetish, you might be condemned by the gods..."

【Boss Cao attacked Xuzhou with the excuse that Mr. Cao was killed...】

"Oh my God!"

The moment Cao Cao saw this sentence, he almost choked him to death.
