Chapter 36 Breakthrough, Success [Seeking Follow-up Reading]
The ones who came were Xiahou Dun, Cao Hong, and Cao Ren.
Some other relatives who became famous in later generations, such as Xiahou Yuan, remained in Qiao County to help Cao Song.
Among the three people who came, Xiahou Dun was slightly older, while the other two were only in their early twenties.
The three were brought into Cao's residence by his personal army, their faces full of excitement.
The magnificent buildings, wide streets, bluestone paved ground, and the luxury of Cao's mansion all stunned the three people.
"Brother, is your yard in Luoyang so big?"
"There are so many soldiers here, with excellent armor. Are they all my brother's men?"
The three were brought into the inner courtyard and saw Cao Cao sitting in his study reading a scroll.
The three of them lined up in a row, standing at attention, full of energy and spirit.
There was a smile on Cao Cao's face.
The world is about to go into chaos, and there are many signs of this, but it has not really gotten into chaos yet.
Xiahou Yuan and others stayed at home, together with other older generation relatives, it was enough.
However, Cao Cao in Luoyang was seriously lacking in trustworthy direct descendants.
Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren and Cao Hong are very suitable candidates.
The complex situation in Luoyang is also the best training for them.
Xiahou Dun, whose courtesy name was Yuanrang, was a descendant of Xiahou Ying, a founding hero of the Han Dynasty.
He started studying under a teacher at the age of 14. Someone insulted his teacher, so he beat the person to death.
The power of the Xiahou family helped him to settle the matter, and from then on he became famous in the village for his bravery.
In history, when Cao Cao raised his army, Xiahou Dun was the first general to respond.
He followed Cao Cao in his campaigns throughout his life and was loyal to him.
Cao Ren, Cao Cao's cousin, was a capable man.
Cao Hong was also Cao Cao's cousin. In history, he once gave Cao Cao his life-saving horse. Like Dian Wei, he was extremely loyal.
"Brother."
When the three saw Cao Cao smile, they all grinned too.
Among the three, Xiahou Dun is the most sturdy and fierce. But he is also polite. He respects teachers and is still diligent in learning in his old age. He is a master of the Three Kingdoms.
Cao Ren has a shrewd face.
Cao Hong is a bit honest.
"I'll let you come to Luoyang to train, and then I'll arrange for you to serve in the army. Go and rest first. There are not many empty rooms here. You three will share one yard." Cao Cao gave simple instructions.
The three of them agreed in unison and had a joyful conversation with Cao Cao.
As they traveled along the way, they saw refugees everywhere and famine everywhere.
There was also a letter that Cao Song asked them to bring.
Then he was taken away by servants and arranged to stay in Cao's mansion.
The letter Cao Song wrote to Cao Cao also explained the situation at home, planned how to develop the situation, and communicated with Cao Cao.
As well as the current situation of Cao Cao’s eldest son, Cao Ang, etc.
As night falls, the sky is filled with stars.
Cao Cao sat in the study room, concentrating and meditating.
As his reputation grew, the luck of heaven and earth he attracted became more and more powerful.
A stream of energy enters the body through the fontanelle and merges with the two core spells in the sea of consciousness and dantian.
He recently took over the Xiyuan Army, and introduced the military training into his body, which is more powerful than the corresponding qi in the context.
On the spell talisman in Dantian, there are countless words of military strategies and tactics, flickering.
In the sea of consciousness, the spells condensed from the talent of cultural context are like the Four Books and Five Classics, carrying the fortune of cultural context.
While Cao Cao was practicing, the handwritten letter from Han Xin and the mysterious ancient scroll of heaven once again emitted aura which was absorbed by him.
[Your reputation increases, and the luck you attract turns into military luck. You mobilize Ding Yuan and Lu Bu to stop Dong Zhuo, confuse your opponents, and set up traps. You are suspicious and good at planning. You absorb Han Xin's military books and comprehend a new military strategy - watching the fire from the other side of the river.]
[Your reputation gathers luck, and your ability to watch from the other side of the river is infused with luck and rapidly improved.]
[You are both civil and military, and with your literary talent of 'insight', you have mastered the secrets of military strategy and made rapid progress. Your military strategy of watching the fire from the other side of the river (minor success)]
[Your current reputation is not enough to attract more luck. Continue to improve your military strategy and talent. Please gather your reputation.]
At this time, Cao Cao's Dantian military talisman and the core of his sea of consciousness each emitted a breath of energy.
The two blended together and flowed out from the top of his head, transforming into a wisp of illusory energy like a shadow, wandering outside his body.
This aura is the initial state of the military strategist's spirit and soul.
When a military strategist reaches the second level of supernatural power, he can cultivate the Yin body or the spirit and soul. A military strategist has summarized that the Yin body and the spirit and soul are best able to absorb the life and death energy of the battlefield, combine with the spirit and soul, and protect themselves.
Cao Cao breathed in and out and stopped practicing. It was already past the hour of Hai.
Instead of falling asleep, he planned to go out.
Hearing his movement, Xiao Xiang and Dian Wei also got ready, heading for the palace.
It's approaching midnight.
Cao Cao came to the east gate of the imperial palace, the area where the Xiyuan Army was on duty, and climbed up the city wall.
A quarter of an hour later, shouts and screams suddenly came from the north and west gates of the palace.
Dong Zhuo's troops poured into the palace from these two directions and launched another attack on the imperial palace.
Cao Cao had previously judged that Dong Zhuo would attack the palace again.
But tonight, the purpose is just to bluff and test the palace defenses, and there will be no large-scale confrontation.
Cao Cao planned to take advantage of the situation and take advantage of the chaos caused by Dong Zhuo to get Concubine Yu out of the palace and then contact the Yu family.
Cao Cao issued a series of orders, asking the Xiyuan Army to patrol inside and outside the palace.
[Dong Zhuo's attack on the palace defenses has made all the Xiyuan Army unite to fight the enemy at this moment. As the commander, you have gained recognition from a large number of Xiyuan Army soldiers, and your reputation has steadily increased. 8497...8544...8601/10000]
The Xiyuan Army entered the palace from the east gate, led by Cao Cao himself. They met up with Lu Zhi who arrived after hearing the news, and guarded the palace.
Dong Zhuo's men broke into the palace and attacked in all directions, causing chaos which gave Cao Cao an opportunity.
early morning.
Yu Qing was awakened by the turmoil in the palace. He hid in the corner of the couch, hugging the quilt, his body curled up with only his head sticking out of the quilt. He blinked his eyes and stared at the doors and windows, afraid that someone would break in.
What should we do if a rebellious army comes in?
The more Yu Qing thought about it, the more scared he became.
The shouting and screaming outside the palace came from far away and near, and from the sound, it seemed that it was not far from the courtyard where she lived.
Suddenly, a person climbed in through the window.
Yu Qing almost screamed out loud and even held her breath.
"Princess Yu, the general ordered me to take you out of the palace."
It was Xiao Xiang, a close follower of Cao Cao.
Yu Qing was overjoyed and jumped down from the bed barefoot: "Are you really here to save me?"
She trotted to the back of the bed and took out a small box. Private money, the family fortune, cannot be lost.
She wanted to say goodbye to those fish, but Xiao Xiang urged her to do so. Dian Wei outside the window handed her a set of imperial army robes.
After wearing it and slightly disguising his face, he could quickly leave the palace while there was chaos in the palace. After all, the palace defense was guarded by the Xiyuan Army, and no one would stop Cao Cao's personal guards.
While Yu Qing was changing clothes in the house, Xiao Xiang and Dian Wei quickly destroyed the doors and windows, creating the illusion that Dong Zhuo's troops had broken in and were attacking.
After Yu Qing changed her clothes, she followed him out of the bedroom.
Xiao Xiang and Dian Wei were in the front and soon joined up with several of Cao Cao's direct troops.
Concubine Yu quietly joined in and left no trace.
A quarter of an hour later, they arrived at the palace gate. Xiao Xiang, accompanied by several personal guards, calmly walked out from the east gate, including Concubine Yu.
Dian Wei strode forward, as fast as a galloping horse, and came to the inner palace like a whirlwind.
He soon saw Cao Cao standing outside the Chongde Hall surrounded by his personal troops. He nodded slightly to Cao Cao to indicate that things were going well.
Cao Mansion.
The moon shines brightly.
Xiao Xiang helped Concubine Yu get off the carriage and brought her to the inner house.
There were so many people around, so to prevent any accidents, Cao Cao ordered Concubine Yu to be taken to his room.
No one dared to enter or leave his room at will.
Xiao Xiang wanted to return to the palace:
"The young master said that Concubine Yu should wait patiently and not leave the room." Then he left.
The room became quiet and Yu Qing breathed a long sigh of relief.
It was easier than she had imagined to get out of the palace.
Concubine Yu patted her plump chest and looked around the room. Then she saw a little tiger sticking out from under the couch, looking at her warily.
A man and a tiger, staring at each other.
Cao Cao didn't return until the next afternoon.
Concubine Yu was actually sleeping on his couch, breathing evenly.
This woman is so careless that she didn’t even wake up when Cao Cao came back.
