three kings

Chapter 329 Deciding Zhongyuan to go out with the United States
Just when Liu Bei won the great victory, Cao Cao in the northwest was not satisfied with the status quo, and began to expand his territory.

On the outskirts of Chang'an, a mighty army of 15 troops lined up on standby.

"Tiger and Leopard Cavalry", "Tiger Guards", "Qingzhou Soldiers", "Yongzhou Soldiers", "Guanyang Feijun" and other outstanding units lined up in turn.

Cao Cao rode his horse and came to the front of the army. When he saw the great army he had trained so hard, he smiled arrogantly: "With such a strong army, why should you be afraid of the children of Xiliang."

"Meng De, what I said is exactly what I want!" A general next to Cao Cao said loudly, his face was thin and resolute, he was the number one general of Cao Ying, Xia Houdun who looked like Cao Cao and his brother.He has a strong personality and is extremely brave. Someone once insulted his teacher, and he killed that person without saying a word.

He takes the lead in battle, is not afraid of death, is good at fighting hard battles, and is always a vanguard. He is Cao Cao's most powerful general.

He said with a smile: "The 'Guan Yang Feijun' that I have carefully trained has long wanted to fight against that pony's Jingqi. I don't believe that I will lose to him."

Cao Cao laughed and said: "Yuan Rang is still so fearless, it will be soon. After one month, Cao will definitely lead his troops to the west."

Since then, Cao Cao has expressed his intention to conquer Ma Teng and Han Sui many times.

A month later, Cao Cao ordered Xiahou Dun to be the vanguard general, and led a vanguard army of [-] to march westward to open the way for the army.

Jian'an eight years, September [-]st.

After a year and a half of meticulous governance, the Central Plains has become a thriving scene. Under Sun Can's good governance, residents from all over the country live affluent lives and have achieved great governance.

Meetings are a feature of Sun Canjun. In other places, meetings are held when there is something to do, and everyone performs their duties when there is nothing to do.But Sun Canjun is different, there are three kinds of meetings: monthly meeting, semi-annual meeting and annual meeting.

At the beginning of each month, the advisers and generals under the central government will gather together for a meeting, express their opinions, talk about their own experience, talk about major events in the world, and reward outstanding ministers, which is a monthly meeting.

Every six months, state pastors from all over the country need to send their confidantes to the central meeting to describe the local development and military strength, as well as some prospects and opinions for the future. Those who have made outstanding contributions will also be rewarded. It is a semi-annual meeting.

At the end of each year, state pastors from all over the country need to go to the central government in person to report everything in the territory, talk about governance experience, and other things, for the annual meeting.

Of course, those who have special circumstances may not participate, such as illness, war, etc.

These meetings seem unnecessary, but behind them there is an extraordinary meaning.

First, the rule of various places has been deepened, and the situation of obedience and injustice in the territory has been prevented.Second, they can learn from each other and motivate each other in order to accomplish everything better and better.Third, Sun Can can understand the situation in various places, so that in case of emergencies, he can be prepared, so that he will not be at a loss.Fourth, it allows both civil and military personnel to understand the current situation and develop their abilities.Fifth, it also has the effect of enhancing the relationship between the whole army.

It can be said that there is a lot of benefit, but no harm.

Today is the beginning of the monthly meeting.

The civil and military ministers in Xuchang are holding a monthly meeting in a conference hall that can accommodate a hundred people.

Everyone spoke freely, and shared their experience and the troubles encountered in the task. They shared their experiences and solved their troubles together, which was a joyous experience.

After the meeting was over, Guo Jia stayed and said to Sun Can, "My lord, Cao Cao's recent movements are a bit strange?"

Sun Can smiled and said, "You mean Cao Cao is arrogant?"

"That's right!" Guo Jia rested his chin and said, "Cao Cao doesn't show his emotions or anger. How could he be so arrogant, bragging about how powerful he is, and not paying attention to Ma Teng and Han Sui at all. It's a great achievement, this It's not Cao Cao's nature."

Sun Can murmured: "Cao Cao has great talent and will not do unnecessary actions. This move may be a bluff. Ma Teng in Xiliang is not a prince who can be easily dealt with. Ma Chaowei, the son of Ma Teng, was in the northwest of the town. The Qiang people call it "Shenweitian General", which is extraordinary. According to Yafu, his cavalry skills are not inferior to Lv Bu's, and his bravery is not inferior to Lv Bu's. Think of Lu Bu, who led more than a thousand cavalry and could kill eighteen The princes of the roads don't leave any armor. But Ma Chao commanded tens of thousands of cavalry. If you think about it, you know that he is definitely not a soft persimmon. Cao Cao even recruited [-] soldiers from Xiliang, which is not necessarily against the Ma family and Han Sui. He can be sure of winning, his real intention should be—Hanzhong.”

Guo Jia agreed: "Jia also meant this. Cao Cao knew that Xiliang was not easy to conquer, so he deliberately pretended to attack Xiliang in order to confuse Zhang Lu. Hanzhong has been governed by generations to become a natural granary. Zhang Lu is mediocre, and his subordinates are Without great talents, those believers of the Five Dou Rice Sect are not the opponents of Cao Cao's elite soldiers. How can Cao Cao not take advantage of such a bargain?

Now, Liu Bei has to be entrusted with the role of Jushou, and by breaking Karasuma and Gongsundu, he will soon be able to win Liaodong, so that he has the strength to fight Yuan Shao.Cao Cao is also actively expanding his territory.Our army is unable to conquer now, but we must also make preparations to go south. "

Sun Can looked into the distance, the Central Plains is a place where a hundred wastes are waiting for new ones. At this moment, Sun Ce has already confirmed that Sun Ce will form an alliance with Cao Cao. If he goes south at this time, Cao Cao will definitely attack the rear of our army. Besides, his vitality after the battle with Yuan Shao has not yet recovered. , It is indeed not suitable to go south to conquer Sun Ce.

I originally let Zhang Liao, Chen Deng, and Xu Shu form a triangle offensive to constantly harass Sun Ce and prevent him from developing.However, this Sun Ce is indeed extraordinary. Under his constant harassment, he still dispatched surprise troops to capture the land of the four counties of Yuzhang, Wujun, Kuaiji, and Luling, and forced Yan Baihu into Danyang, and his strength greatly increased.There must be a strong enemy in the future, and every point of preparation will increase the chance of winning, so he nodded and said: "Feng Xiao, since I have this intention, I will ask General Zhang Liao to help you with all my strength. Go and pay more attention to Pang Tong, this man uses troops deceitfully , It is impossible to guard against. If he hadn't been there, Sun Ce would never have been able to achieve such a brilliant record under the harassment of our army."

Guo Jia accepted the order with a smile. He was going here with the intention of meeting Pang Tong.

Farewell to Guo Jia, Sun Can returned to the mansion, seeing that it was still early.The government affairs had also been dealt with, and Sun Can, who was in a good mood, wanted to see the scene of Xuchang after the war, so he thought of going out in disguise.Just as I was about to act, I suddenly remembered my two beloved wives, and I felt a sense of guilt. I was so busy with important affairs that I often neglected them because of government affairs. It was rare for me to be free today, so Bufan took them out for a stroll?
Sun Can's nature is free and easy, and because of all the troubles, he calmed down.At this time, without any political affairs, Sun Can immediately thought of going out for fun.

He told Cai Yan and Diao Chan about this idea.

The second daughter was quite moved when she heard this.

Cai Yan was very general, hesitantly said: "Is this not good? If Mr. Xun Yu finds out, there will be a lot of complaints."

But Diao Chan couldn't care so much, the sky is big, Sun Can is the biggest, it is her dream to go out and play happily together, she smiled and said: "What's wrong, we pretend to be ordinary people. Xuchang law and order is so Well, who would harm people for no reason?"

Sun Can twisted Diao Chan's nose, and persuaded Cai Yan,

Cai Yan's heart was already moved, there was a ban on two people taking turns bombing, and after a while, the white flag was raised.

Sun Can has honed his ability to break out of the mansion since he was a child. The guards in the mansion are arranged by him personally. It only needs to change the defense a little, and there will be a loophole in the tight guard that is difficult to find out.

Sun Can easily took Cai Yan and Diao Chan out of the General's Mansion.

Fortunately, all three of them have put on make-up, and they are no different from ordinary people. Otherwise, with their outstanding appearance, they will cause a sensation in a short time, and thus be seen through by those who are interested.

Cai Yan was still insisting that he could not leave the house.But now as soon as he left the mansion, he was happier than anyone else.

Diao Chan grew up in the palace since she was a child, and later Liu Bian was sent to Wang Yun's mansion. At that time, it was in the troubled times of Dong Zhuo's domineering, and she dared not go out to the streets as a woman.

This shopping is very strange to him.

But it seems that it is a woman's nature to like to go shopping. In the beginning, Cai Yan took her to see here and there.But the effort of cupping tea is the essence of shopping.Touching here, looking there, a happy smile is always on the face, as if returning to the carefree childhood.

Sun Can is not short of money, nor does he restrict Cai Yan and Diao Chan from spending money.His one-year salary as a general is enough to buy a luxurious mansion.

However, the two of them just watched but didn't buy, which made Sun Can, who had enough money, very depressed.

At his insistence, Cai Yan and Diao Chan reluctantly bought some small gadgets.

The two of them didn't even look at the jade jewelry store, but the grocery stall would allow them to stay for a long time.

The two women stopped in front of a grocery store at this moment, and they walked in hand in hand.

Sun Can smiled slightly and followed in.

This is a quaint grocery store, the shopkeeper saw Sun Can and hurried up to greet him.

Sun Can knew that Cai Yan came from a wealthy family and was known as the most talented woman in the world. When Yun Ying was not married, many princes and nobles were overwhelmed by her demeanor, and they rushed to present her with all kinds of treasures and jades. Those vulgar things have long been seen. eye trouble.Diao Chan is similar, although she is a court lady, but Liu Bian regards her as a sister, and treasures and jades are usually given to her, so naturally she doesn't care about these seemingly priceless but useless things.What they like are all novel gadgets, such as the peacock and little macaque that I gave them.He said to the shopkeeper: "Do you have any rare and novel things here?"

The shopkeeper said: "Yes, of course there is. My grocery store is the largest grocery store in Xuchang. There are more than a thousand items in it, and there are always types that you like." In the words, he was quite proud.

Sun Can smiled and said nothing, it was indeed the first time he saw this kind of grocery store that was bigger than those jade stores.

If you take a closer look, you will find that there are a variety of goods in it, and there are many strange things, which is well-deserved as the number one in Xuchang.

Cai Yan and Diao Chan were also overwhelmed by the sight and were extremely happy.
