Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 442 The sudden Northern Expedition moment!
Gan Ning made great contributions to the battles of Chibi and Cangting, and was promoted from a miscellaneous lieutenant to a miscellaneous general, but he still only had the [-] cavalry under his command.

However, under Cao Cao's command, as long as you have military exploits, you don't have to worry about the chance of promotion. Gan Ning got a leapfrog promotion in just one year, which is many times better than under Huang Zu's.

After Gan Ning took two sips of wine one after another, his whole body became hot.

He couldn't hold back the eager thoughts in his heart, he simply asked: "Dare to ask Lu Hussar, when can we attack Yuan Shao in the north?"

After hearing Gan Ning's sudden question, Lu Yan picked up his glass and took a sip of white wine, but replied in a spirited voice: "When the time comes, the Northern Expedition will naturally begin."

Lu Yan's words have not yet fully landed,
Xia Houlan and Chen Dao, who had not been out for a long time, rushed over again, and between the two of them, there was a busy messenger.

"Sir! Sir!"

"Northern Expedition! The Northern Expedition has begun!!!"

"Ah! This is the beginning???" Gan Ning looked at Lu Yan in astonishment when he heard the words.

Lu Yan was also taken aback when he heard it for the first time, but he had already developed the demeanor that the mountain collapsed before him, so he didn't show the slightest difference on his face.

Seeing Gan Ning's eyes, the old god Lu Yan replied, "Look, isn't this coming?"

Gan Ning couldn't figure out the depth of Lu Yan, let alone guess what was in Lu Yan's heart, he just felt admiration and admiration for Lu Yan's demeanor at the moment, so he stood up and clasped his fists and said, "Lu Hussar is really good at predicting things! "

The Northern Expedition is definitely going to happen, but this time is much earlier than Lu Yan expected.

For Gan Ning's compliment, Lu Yan accepted it without blushing or panting, and he felt a little bit ashamed of his thick skin in his heart.
After being put down by Chen Dao and Xia Houlan, the messenger came to Lu Yan and presented Cao Cao's autographed letter with both hands.

Lu Yan quickly took the letter, quickly browsed through it, and suddenly realized, "I thought it was Yuan Shao who returned to the west, but I didn't think it was Zhang Yan from the Black Mountain Army who voted for Boss Cao in advance."

After thinking about it, Lu Yan thought, "But it's okay, Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Army has conquered Ye City before, and has always been one of Gongsun Zan's staunch allies. He and Yuan Shao are deadly enemies. With his help, the Northern Expedition will be impossible! "

After Yuan Shao ruled Hebei, he originally planned to deal with Cao Cao, a confidant, and then deal with Zhang Yan, a clown.
Unexpectedly, the defeat of Guandu, and the defeat of Cangting again, Yuan Shao was already injured. Later, the Wuhuan people went south to plunder Youzhou, which made Yuan Shao's vitality and embarrassment even worse.

After receiving the anger from the north and the south, Yuan Shao began to think about venting his anger on Zhang Yan.

Yuan Shao sent Gao Gan, the most powerful general at present, to lead a reorganized army of [-] to attack Montenegro.

Gao Gan is the governor of Bingzhou, and he has been secretly observing and planning Zhang Yan, a thorn in the side of Bingzhou, for a long time.

This time to attack Zhang Yan, he is naturally handy and powerful.

Zhang Yan was beaten back by Gao Gan. In desperation, he could only use the local mountainous terrain to deal with Yuan Shao's army, and on the other hand, he began to think about his future.

He had two choices: Either give up the long-running Heishan and flee to Hedong or even Liangzhou; or he took refuge in Cao Cao, Yuan Shao's deadly rival, and then entered Hanoi to unite with Cao Ren and others to fight against Yuan Shao.

Anyway, it is impossible for Zhang Yan to seek refuge with Yuan Shao, and they have already beaten their own brains out.

After much deliberation, Zhang Yan finally felt that it was best to seek refuge with Cao Cao.

Firstly, you don't have to give up your foundation, and secondly, you can counterattack Yuan Shao and let out the bad breath that has been in your chest for many years.

After receiving the support of his subordinates, Zhang Yan sent his son Zhang Fang to detour through Hanoi and Henan Yin, and finally arrived in Xuchang.

Cao Cao was still thinking about when Yuan Shao would return to the west, but he didn't want Zhang Yan and the [-] troops from Montenegro to join him suddenly.

Cao Cao, who couldn't help but be overjoyed, immediately decided not to wait for Yuan Shao to return to the west, he is going to start the Northern Expedition now!
Urgently summoned Xun Yu, Xun You, and Cheng Yu who were in Xuchang.

Cao Cao walked back and forth in the General's Mansion, sorting out his thoughts of the Northern Expedition over and over again in his mind.

After the three of Xun Yu arrived in a hurry, Cao Cao asked his question, "Masters, what strategy should we adopt for the Northern Expedition?"

Xun Yu, who had always been steady, immediately cupped his hands and said, "Prime Minister, this Northern Expedition should be carried out with lightning speed, with Hanoi, Baima, and Qingzhou armies coming together to quickly defeat Yuan Shao and occupy Yecheng!"

Cao Cao quickly understood what Xun Yu meant when he heard the words, "Okay, I'll send a fast horse to inform Zixiao and Marquis Wen now!"

"Soldiers are precious, and the prime minister can gather the army now and set off for the white horse." Xun You cupped his hands.

"That's right, when our soldiers and luggage arrive at Baima, the news must have reached General Cao Zixiao and Marquis Wen, and they should have dispatched troops as well."

Cao Cao saw that all the counselors agreed to strike Yuan Shao with lightning force, so he sent dozens of cavalry towards Hanoi, Chenliu and Qingzhou.

Going to Hanoi and Qingzhou is to inform Cao Ren and Lu Bu, and going to Chenliu is to tell Lu Yan to prepare the army and start the Northern Expedition with Cao Cao!
Lu Yan put away the letter and thought, "It came so fast!"

Gan Ning is a little anxious at the moment, the Northern Expedition is about to start now, but Zhao Xue's matter has not been completely settled yet.

Moreover, he didn't want to miss this grand battle for meritorious deeds, and he was anxious and drank alcohol again, Gan Ning felt his face itchy for a while, so he started scratching his ears and complaining.
"Sir! Lan asks to fight!" Xia Houlan immediately clasped her fists to ask for a fight.

"And I, Chen Dao, request to fight!"

"And I, Huang Xu! Request to fight!"

The sudden voice made Lu Yan, Xia Houlan and Chen Dao Qiqi turn their heads to look at Huang Xu.

"Um, I can fight Brother Ziheng for [-] rounds now." Huang Xu, who was standing behind Chen Daoxiahoulan, couldn't help shrinking his head, and said in a low voice.

Xia Houlan couldn't help but blushed when she heard the words, and argued: "I was showing mercy, do you understand, kid?"

"Yes, thank you, Brother Ziheng, for your mercy." But Huang Xu's tone could not tell the meaning of gratitude at all.
It's not easy for Xia Houlan to argue with this teenage boy, but he felt a sense of crisis that he hadn't seen for a long time, and he secretly warned himself: "The end of the crane is fine, but it can't be surpassed by a younger generation." Ah! This kid Huang Xu is very talented, Xia Houlan, you have to work harder to practice and study!!!"

Naturally, Lu Yan couldn't agree to Huang Xu's request. This is Huang Zhong's precious son, the only one!

It's okay to go, at least give birth to Lao Huang's grandson first, so Lu Yan replied: "If you can convince your father, I can let you go to the battlefield."

When Huang Xu heard this, he immediately froze, "If my father agrees to go to the battlefield, it may be more difficult than going to heaven."

Lu Yan looked back at Gan Ning, who was scratching his head anxiously, and said, "It will take three to five days to assemble the soldiers and supplies. Xingba, why don't you hurry up and take Zhao Xue to General Zhendong?"

"Oh! The general is leaving now, but the general also has a request."

"When did you, Jin Fan Gan Ning, learn to hesitate?"

Hearing this, Gan Ning immediately showed the aura of being an invincible opponent across the Yangtze River in the past, and said: "Don't hide it from Lu Huqi, the last general also wants to participate in the Northern Expedition to Yuan Shao!"

"Don't worry, Cao Gong won't forget you. If he forgets, you can come to me!" Just kidding, wouldn't it be too wasteful to keep such a good worker at home?
Gan Ning rubbed his hands together with joy when he got Lu Yan's promise, "Great! Thank you to Lu Huanqi first, and it's not too late. Let's take a step away!"

"Go, take me to say hello to Xiaoxue, and it's true that I haven't seen this girl for a while."

"Here!"
