Johime Three Kingdoms

Chapter 200 Protons and Review

Cao Pi felt desperate - I just wanted to put on a show. Why did my father really agree to go to the Cavalry General's Mansion instead of me when I came to my senses?In fact, I think Xiaozhi will definitely like the climate in Jiangdong...

"Zihuan, you spoke out loud again." Xia Houjuan reminded from the side.

"Xiaojuan, it's better for you... I know I feel sorry for my brother, so I sent him here." Cao Pi said movedly.

At this time, Cao Pi and the honor guard were already in Ruyang County, heading from Runan to Yiyang and entering the area controlled by Bai Tu.

No matter how Cao Cao felt, the reason why he sent Cao Pi here should be... also for some "face" factors.

At this time, Cao Cao had already named himself "Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty" and restored the prime minister system that had been banned for a long time after the Eastern Han Dynasty. In name, he overshadowed Yuan Shao's "General".

And Cao Pi got his name because he was the prime minister's official representative for the imperial court and communicated with Bai Tu about the annihilation of Yuan Ni. In other words... As long as the matter of Yuan Shu's legacy was not settled for a day, Cao Pi would stay. Jiangdong is actually also a member of "Proton".

But this way, it sounds much better.

As for the other sons besides Cao Pi, even the eldest Cao Zhang is only ten years old this year, and the other legitimate son Cao Zhi is only eight years old. It is unreasonable to insist that he represents the prime minister's palace and the imperial court to communicate about the annihilation of Yuan Ni.

Therefore, after Cao Pi's performance, Cao Cao was really tempted and accepted his suggestion...

In fact, Cao Pi has become accustomed to it, and he knelt down and cried without thinking!

Cao Cao had finally thought clearly about the "master's young country's doubts" - although the other sons were not very old, there were still five or six of them. Even if something unexpected happened to Cao Pi, it would not be possible to eliminate the heir easily.

As for being young...

Cao Cao felt that if he really couldn't live for ten years, even Cao Pi wouldn't be able to stabilize the current situation!

And if they live for ten years, Cao Zhi and the others will have grown up, and it doesn't matter what they are missing.

Of course, since they were going to the Cavalry General's Mansion with a clear purpose, they were naturally equipped with ceremonial guards. There were hundreds of people at this time... However, Cao Pi understood that only twenty or thirty guards and servants would be able to enter Yiyang County in the end. There is also Sima Lang as his assistant.

Sima Lang, courtesy name Boda, is less than 30 years old this year. He was known in the countryside when he was young. His father was also a court official. During Dong Zhuo's rebellion, his father Sima Fang ordered him to take his younger brothers back to his hometown to avoid trouble. Later, he served under Cao Cao When he just welcomed back the emperor, he surrendered to Cao Cao.

First he served in the Sikong Mansion, and then he was sent out to serve as a county magistrate, and then transferred back to the Sikong Mansion. Judging from his resume, although he is not comparable to Xun Yu, Guo Jia and other aides and masterminds, he is obviously one of the heroes that Cao Cao focused on cultivating. .

However, this time before he went to work as the magistrate of Tangyang County, he was met by Cao Cao specifically. After that... he was appointed Prime Minister Shi and an official of the Prime Minister's Office. He was responsible for serving as Cao Pi's think tank and went to the Chariot and Cavalry General's Mansion together.

Sima Lang also had seven younger brothers, who had not yet served as officials. The most famous in later generations was naturally his second brother, Sima Yi.

At the same time, Xiahou Juan, Xiahou Yuan's niece, also came to Runan from Cao Pi at this time, which moved Cao Pi very much.

However... this feeling soon turned into fear.

Xia Houjuan actually said to him with a smile: "Actually, it's not all just for you. I'm also planning to go to Huainan and Jiangdong to visit."

"Uncle, does uncle know?" Cao Pi asked in a seductive voice.

"I know." Xia Houjuan said firmly.

"Know?" Cao Pi looked a little disbelieving.

"Yes, I told my uncle that I would pay attention to safety when I go out for a walk. My uncle only asked me to listen to Xiaolan's advice." Xia Houjuan said matter-of-factly.

Xiaolan is Xia Houjuan's maid. The two grew up together and occasionally... would snitch on Xia Houyuan.

"I think going to Jiangdong is definitely not within the scope of 'going out for a walk'!" Cao Pi said, holding his forehead.

"This is the territory of the Han Dynasty, what's not allowed to go? Xiaolan didn't say anything else." Xia Houjuan said.

"Where's Xiaolan?" Cao Pi asked doubtfully.

"It's tied up in the car," Xia Houjuan said.

"Tie up?"

"Well, I can sleep more soundly this way." Xia Houjuan said without changing his expression.

Cao Pi: ...

"Do you think I'm just here to have fun? Now the Chariot and Cavalry General's Mansion may raise troops to rebel at any time. Why are you going to cause trouble?" Cao Pi asked helplessly.

Among Cao Cao's sons, the one they fear most is not Cao Cao, but the two uncles of the Xiahou clan - Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun. In fact, their blood relationship with Cao Cao is not more than five years old.

If Xiahou Dun is the "legendary" super scary uncle, then Xia Houyuan is the uncle who actually teaches them a lesson!

"I am Xia Houjuan now, not Cao Juan. What do I have to be afraid of?" Xia Houjuan didn't look worried, and his eyes were a little complicated.

The reason why she is here is actually... there is another hidden reason.

Cao Pi thought in his heart that he would find someone to send Xia Houjuan back soon. He could not let her run wild. However, at this moment, Xia Houjuan reminded him: "You said that if you let me go back now, I would secretly escape and get lost halfway." He was abducted by bandits or something, who should be blamed?"

Of course you blame yourself!

Cao Pi roared in his heart, but on the surface he could only say: "Okay... I can allow you to follow for the time being, but you must hide your identity first, and go back immediately after you have had enough fun!" Cao Pi estimated that Bai Tu, Liu Biao, and Neither his father nor Yuan Shao could end the battle in a year or two.

Xiahou Juan curled his lips and said, "What is there to hide my identity? My identity...isn't it that of the daughter of the Xiahou clan? Compared with you, the prime minister, how can I be conspicuous? If you want to express your anger even to me, you It must have been sliced ​​into pieces, right?”

"You don't understand! Clan girls are not very good... In this way, before we get to Yiyang..." Cao Pi, who was full of complex thoughts, came up with a "good idea" for his younger sister.

……

At the same time, Bai Tu was inspecting the Pingman army in Yuzhang County.

The most rampant part of Shanyue was that it had separated out separately in Zhangling County, north of Yuzhang. At this time, Gao Shun was in charge of Pingyue affairs.

However, in Yuzhang County, there are also many nominal Shanyue - there are no barbarian soldiers or commanders who can "turn barbarians", their combat effectiveness is only at the level of ordinary mountain people, and... most of them are ordinary Han people who go up the mountain.

To deal with this part of the "mountain crossing", Bai Tu initially encouraged people to go down the mountain. However, he also did not hesitate to send troops to those mountain villages that were in chaos from time to time.

And in recent months, planned construction of fortifications in the mountains has begun - in fact, they are camps and fortresses.

Referring to Shen Qingzhi, the famous Liu and Song general in the Southern Dynasty, when he conquered the mountain people, he adopted a step-by-step and multi-pronged attack strategy to compress the living space of the wild people in the mountains.

At the same time, it was also promised that those who came down from the mountain would be given land and exempted from taxes for one year. Those who did not want to come down had not yet resorted to violence, but... the camps and fortresses in the mountains would continue to be built, and the mountain people who farmed, fished and hunted in the mountains could not do so first. However, Bai Tu has been cracking down on the copycats that occupy copper and iron minerals step by step.

Boiling the sea into salt and casting mountains into copper are two great benefits to Jiangdong. Baitu will definitely gradually take back official ownership.

Although some mountain residents were irritated, the situation has remained under control.

Bai Tu was in Jinling at this time, meeting with representatives of front-line officers and soldiers from Pingyue, Yuzhang - the Chinese New Year was about to come, and Bai Tu had already had an unwritten practice. Every year during the New Year, representatives from major garrisons would return to Jinling.

And this time when Bai Tu was looking at the list, he also found someone... Deng Dang!
Deng Dang is not very famous. Although he is one of the first generals to follow Sun, he has been responsible for pacifying Yue in history, but he has few achievements.

But Deng Dang had a brother-in-law who was very famous—Lü Meng!
Calculating his age, Lu Meng should have reached the age of [-] this year. He followed his brother-in-law when he was young, hoping to make a successful career.

For Lu Meng, Lu Su, Zhang Zhao and others, they may not have paid attention at all. With their height, the captain Deng Dang could barely catch their eyes. As for Deng Dang's brother-in-law... who knows who that is!
Even in Deng Dang's army, everyone's impression of Lu Meng was that he was a young general who was a little smart, a little courageous... and had some connections.

When Lu Meng "joined the army" for the first time, he was only 16 years old. He quietly followed Deng Dang on the road. Lu Meng's goal in joining the army was very simple - his family was too poor and he had not read many books. If he didn't work hard, he would still be the same in the future. Like his ancestors, he was an ordinary farmer who looked after the weather when he was hungry and satiated... Instead of doing this, it was better to join the army and fight to gain a wife and a son.

At that time, Deng Dang was angry and took him directly to his mother-in-law, Lu Meng's mother, and asked the old lady to teach him a lesson. As a result, Lu Meng quoted Ban Gu's allusion of "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger's cubs" to persuade him. He killed his brother-in-law and mother.

Bai Tu even knew that historically it was Lü Meng who took over as the third governor of Soochow when Lu Su passed away many years later.

After the Battle of Chibi, Lu Meng first planned to capture Jingnan, and then commanded the Battle of Ruxukou - Cao Cao's second campaign against Sun Quan after Chibi.

Although it ended with Sun Quan asking for surrender, at the tactical level, it was Lü Meng who was at Ruxukou and prevented Cao Jun from doing anything, giving Sun Quan the opportunity to "please surrender". Otherwise, Cao Cao would definitely swallow Sun Quan directly. He paid homage and paid tribute in name only.

Then came Lu Meng's peak battle - after taking over the position of governor, he changed Lu Su's previous friendly strategy towards Guan Yu and decided to take Jingzhou by force.

Finally, when Guan Yu flooded the Seventh Army and went north to attack Wei, Baiyi crossed the river and cut off his retreat, and in one fell swoop regained Jingzhou south of the Yangtze River for Soochow.

Of course, it may be that the governor of Soochow was really poisonous later on. Not long after, Lu Meng also became ill from overwork. He died of illness before Liu Bei could even catch up with the battle to avenge Guan Yu. His successor, the fourth governor, Lu Xun , defeated Liu Bei, that’s something to say later...

When Bai Tu came to the military camp and met with Deng Dang and others, he paid special attention and found... Sure enough, Lu Meng also came to Jinling as an outstanding representative of grassroots generals - after all, he was Deng Dang's brother-in-law. It would be strange if he was not an outstanding representative. .

　Dongdong: It’s time to start a new volume!In the entanglement of whether to have a harem or not, Ben Dong decided... to listen to the call of his heart.
