Chapter 353 Totem, Breakthrough [Subscription Request]

At the front of the long street, a group of three people, wearing hoods and loose robes, were moving stealthily.

The three were accompanied by several attendants and guards.

Cao Cao recognized at a glance that they were Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai and Chen Qun.

"The three of them are hiding so tightly, it must be something bad."

Xu Chu was eager to try and wanted to follow and eat the melon.

Cao Cao pondered: "I heard that a group of Hu concubines came from the Western Regions?"

Dian Wei suddenly realized: "I said Guo Fengxiao's steps were lighter than before, it turns out he was going to look for Hu Ji.

Can his body bear it?"

"You are wrong. It's not about whether the body can bear it, it's about his body. Can Hu Ji be satisfied?"

Xu Chu said this to Dian Wei in a voice message. With Madam Du around, some words would be inappropriate. He still had some decency.

It was confirmed that those two sickly guys wanted to secretly go to the seafood market.

Guo Fengxiao's three hobbies are drinking, sleeping, and eating seafood.

"We met in the study at noon, and I asked Guo Fengxiao if he was recovering well recently."

"He swore that he had been abiding by the rules during this period and was in good health."

Cao Cao took Du Xiu Niang for a stroll, while following Guo Fengxiao and the other two from a distance.

Du Xiu Niang wore a hat with hanging gauze, which covered her lively face.

Her little hand held by Cao Cao felt as soft as cotton and as delicate as jade.

Night is falling.

There are fewer and fewer pedestrians.

But at night, some businesses are particularly prosperous.

Guo Fengxiao took the lead and entered a large brothel.

The room was filled with rouge and, amid the sound of instrumental music, there were several women from the Western Regions, sitting on the wide platform in the hall, twisting their slender waists like beautiful snakes.

Every place where one can stand is filled with people and is noisy and bustling.

There are independent courtyards around the main building.

The main building is a public place, while the small courtyard is a place for private seafood tasting.

Guo Jia and three others asked for a small courtyard to avoid being surrounded by too many people.

As soon as Guo Jia entered the room, he became very excited, as if he had become a different person, full of energy.

He said to the waiter following behind him with ease:
"Call Naituo, Tao Bainv, and Xiao Meimei."

The waiter probably got a lot of tips because Guo Jia came often. The dishes Guo Jia ordered were obviously top-quality seafood, and you could tell they were special just by the names.

But the waiter went there without any hesitation and with a flattering look on his face.

Xi Zhicai and Chen Qun were both newbies. They asked quietly, "Why are the names of the three women you called so strange?"

Tuotuo is the name for camel.

Guo Jia raised his hands and made a grand gesture:

"That woman has distinctive features like a camel, and the other two are also different. You two should think about it carefully.

If I hadn't brought you here, it would have been difficult for the two of you to see one of them."

Guo Jia behaves like a big brother taking the lead.

On the street outside, Cao Cao followed leisurely.

He pricked up his ears slightly, taking in all the noise in the seafood farm, and his expression became a little strange.

…In a small courtyard on the left, someone was talking loudly, surrounded by several women.

The man's every move and gesture showed his elegance. It was my father-in-law Yu Wen.

There were several other people living in the same room, and Cao Cao knew many of them.

Including the vigorous Cai Yong and several famous scholars.

In the courtyard on the southwest corner of the left side, there are Guo Jia and his three companions.

We, the core members of Cao Wei, have reserved the whole place. You guys must like seafood, right?
In Guo Jia's room, three women dressed in gorgeous clothes walked in.

Two of them were Hu girls, and they indeed had extraordinary figures.

One person is like a camel, out of reach.

The other person's body was so soft that he seemed to have no bones, and he swayed gracefully when he walked.

Xi Zhicai and Chen Qun were a little confused and didn't know what to do next.

Guo Jia was the first to enter the inner hall with a Hu concubine. His movements were so smooth and skillful that people were astonished.

Outside, Cao Cao waved his hand and led his men away.

The arrow is on the string at this time, there is no need to disturb them.

However, a few of them visited the brothel, especially the two old men, who came to join in the fun and listen to folk songs. They were caught in the act by Cao Cao, and the rest of their lives were over.

Cao Cao was laughing to himself as he was thinking about how to deal with them.

The night is dark.

He and Du Xiu Niang returned to the courtyard.

"Xiuniang, you can't live in this yard anymore. Come back with me."

In the bedroom, Du Xiu Niang said "oh" in a soft voice.

Cao Cao stood up and put on his clothes. The embroiderer supported herself and asked reluctantly, "My husband is leaving?"

"You too."

Cao Cao rolled her up in a brocade quilt and prepared to take her away.

Du Xiu Niang said shyly, "My husband, please put me down. I will go with you."

"I'll have the servants deliver the things here to you tomorrow."

Cao Cao ignored her and stepped into the void.

Du Xiu Niang felt as if she was riding on a cloud, and suddenly she was back at Cao's mansion.

There are many vacant courtyards in the mansion's inner quarters.

Cao Cao called his servants and settled Du Xiu Niang down. It was already past midnight.

early morning.

He came to the quiet room and opened the entry.

[Your reputation is over 16.29 million, gathering people's support like a tide, blending with the national destiny. The second tide of destiny is quietly changing.]

[You can perform the second stage of military luck blessing on the generals to promote their military strategy and enhance their combat power]

You get three directions.

[Your totem dragon has completed its second evolution. It can communicate with the celestial phenomena, actively breathe in and out people's wishes, and derive magical powers.]

Over the past few months, Cao Cao's reputation has increased by more than 15 million.

But the growth has slowed down significantly since then.

This is related to the population base of the entire world.

The total population of Cao Wei was 40 million.

Cao Cao's popularity is now close to the critical value. If he wants to continue to improve rapidly, he must unify the country and bring more people under his rule.

Suddenly, behind Cao Cao, the totem dragon flew out into the air.

At this time, the totem dragon, as his popularity grew, became more concrete, and his pressure was as severe as a prison.

A close look at the scales on its body reveals a mysterious connection with the Book of Changes, Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, and even the Xiantai Seal.

The scales on its body fit together like a large formation, connecting heaven and earth.

Cao Cao also had a feeling that he could use the totem dragon that had broken through and evolved to a new stage to influence local celestial phenomena and display miracles.

He plans to find an opportunity to give it a try.

After practicing for an hour, when it was almost dawn, Cao Cao came to Diao Chan's room.

At the door of Diao Chan's bedroom, there were two tigers lying.

The newly brought tigress was less than two years old and was treated as a child bride by Yin.

It rested its head on the softest part of the tigress's belly, feeling extremely comfortable and sleeping soundly.

In the room.

Diao Chan just got up, put on a silver-white Han skirt, and prepared to go to the study to start work.

The two walked hand in hand towards the front yard.

Diao Chan whispered, "They are all pregnant, but I am still not pregnant."

As for Diao Chan, Cao Cao guessed that it had something to do with her special physique.

When Yu Qing first became pregnant, it took her more than two years to get pregnant.

But once pregnant, she becomes very pregnant, one baby after another.

"I'm going out for a few days. You can come with me. We'll work overtime a few times on the way. Maybe you'll get pregnant." Cao Cao teased.

After a few days, changes occurred in all directions.

That day, Cao Cao contacted Zhao Yun through the communication beads: "Wenyuan will launch an attack on the Eastern Xianbei, you should support him."

"Understood, sir." Zhao Yun responded.

Cao Cao calculated the time and thought that Zhang Liao would attack first.

Liu Bei wanted to attack Hanzhong, but it would take some time before he could actually use his troops.

The battle in the north should be over by then.

Neither of the two wars was large in scale, but both were important.

Cao Cao prepared to take part in one of the battles.

At the moment, he was more interested in training Big Ear and was preparing to participate in the Battle of Hanzhong.

According to past practice, Cao Cao would often go out to inspect farm work during the spring ploughing season.

At that time, we can bring Diao Chan with us for cover, secretly withdraw to Hanzhong halfway, and come back after the battle, that would be just right.

In the past few days, Cao Cao has begun to consciously deal with some things in preparation for sneaking out to fight.

afternoon.

A majestic figure walked into the study.

It’s Cao Ang.

He is a young man of about sixteen or seventeen years old.

More than half a year of military experience has made Cao Ang less immature and a hint of determination appears between his eyebrows.

He came back with the caravan that was protecting the Western Regions.

After serving in the army for half a year, Cao Ang asked Cao Cao for permission to fight on the front line.

But Cao Cao did not agree.

Not caring about my son.

But Cao Ying does not lack the fighting power of Cao Ang.

When he goes to the battlefield, the commander will be concerned about his status and may even adjust the tactics accordingly. That would not be training his son, but would just cause trouble, which is unnecessary.

Sending Cao Ang to the battlefield is not to let him learn how to fight.

It is to let him fully understand the status of the military, so that he will not be sidelined and ignorant of the grassroots structure because of his high position.

After a while, Cao Cao planned to send him to a local place to be a village head, which was the same kind of local official that Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang had done, so he would be able to fully understand the people and the local situation.

"Your father has to go out for a while. During this time, you will follow Wenruo and learn how to govern." Cao Cao said in a low voice.

He was gentle with his daughter but quite strict with his son.

Cao Ang bowed seriously to show that he understood.

That night, Cao Cao returned to the inner house.

Before leaving, he had a small gathering with his wives and concubines.

Most of the wives and concubines were pregnant, and their personalities varied.

Wen Ji walked very carefully, with one hand on her waist and the other on her lower abdomen.

Diao Chan looked around, secretly jealous.

Yu Qing whispered in Cao Cao's ear: "The doctor said that I can easily get pregnant today. My husband will come to my place tonight. I want to have another child!"

Cao Cao was overwhelmed after hearing this.

He stayed in Yecheng until mid-March, then left Yecheng with Diao Chan, riding Red Hare, Jueying and Zhua Huang in rotation, accompanied by Generals Dian and Xu and his own heavy cavalry.

The number of pro-troops has now grown to sixty-seven.

Cao Cao estimated that the battle of Yizhou and Hanzhong could begin in early April or mid-month.

He still had some time, so he planned to take Diao Chan for a walk first.

On the same night that Cao Cao left Yecheng, at the northern gate of the Wei Dynasty, Zhang Liao led the old soldiers of Bingzhou, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and Qu Yi's strong crossbow army, a total of 9,000 elite troops, out of Youbeiping County and launched a military raid.

The Eastern Xianbei had been attacked once before.

I have been very careful in the past two years, but I am not completely unprepared.

How Zhang Liao fights this battle to achieve a complete victory over the Eastern Xianbei is crucial to the subsequent Cao Wei.

On the same day, Zhao Yun also led his troops out of Bingzhou.

In Yecheng, Xu You returned home.

He served Cao for several years, but was never valued and always held an idle position.

Xu You had a lot of resentment towards Cao Cao.

However, in the current situation, Cao Cao has almost no rivals in the world.

Although Xu You was dissatisfied, he was not stupid enough to stand against Cao Cao.

He is still law-abiding.

But Xu You had a hobby, which was love of money, and he did it in an unjust way and was easily accepted as a favor.

At this moment, he returned to his house and pushed open the door of the inner bedroom.

The moment he opened the door, Xu You was stunned.
