Chapter 450: A stone stirs up a thousand waves! [Subscribe]

The light of sunset is dim.

Cao Cao slowed down his pace in an inner corridor of the Tongquetai Palace.

Zhen Mi looked back like a thief.

Dian Wei and Xu Chu, who were by his side just now, disappeared without a trace at some point.

They had followed Cao Cao for a long time and had learned when to stay away.

Only Yin was left following Cao Cao, listening with his ears pricked up.

"His Majesty."

"My sister, who grew up with me and is one year younger than me, wrote to me yesterday saying that she had just given birth to a child and both mother and child are safe."

Zhen Mi's neck turned pink, and her chin almost dropped to her chest: "I'm already eighteen."

Cao Cao couldn't help laughing: "I will take you into the palace soon, how about that?"

Zhen Mi felt shy, happy, and a little uneasy:

"Aunt...what do they say over there?"

The two talked as they walked. After a while, Zhen Mi nodded timidly and followed Cao Cao's wishes.

When she returned to the inner house, she bowed to Cao Cao and said, "I'll take my leave first." Then she quickly ran back to her bedroom.

The little girl also calls herself a concubine.

Cao Cao returned to the rear hall.

When Xiao Qiao saw him coming, her cheeks also turned red.

"His Majesty."

The two sisters slept until noon this morning.

Da Qiao got up first and returned to her bedroom early, and was not seen for the rest of the day.

That night, it was Cao Cao's turn to bring Xiao Qiao to see Da Qiao.

"Sister, His Majesty insisted that I come here, I didn't want to." Xiao Qiao explained in a low voice.

Her condition was the same as Da Qiao's yesterday, helpless.

Da Qiao hid under the quilt and pretended to be soundly asleep.

One, two, three. Ah.

Sparks danced on the lamps in the bedroom, and occasionally there was a crackling sound of lamp oil crackling, which lasted until the early morning before going out.

The sun is like a rainbow.

One afternoon later, in the study.

After reviewing the memorial, Cao Cao looked through the list of civil and military officials under his command.

He added three new names to the core circle of civil officials: Crouching Dragon, Phoenix Chick, and Lu Su.

The booklet in Cao Cao's hand is filled with the achievements of the civil and military officials in Cao Ying.

On the military side, there are already three people in the Wei Dynasty who have reached the level of divine generals.

Counting further down, there are Xu Chu, Zhang Liao, and Taishi Ci, all of whom are in the position to make the final move.

Gao Shun, who led the Xianzhen Camp, Qu Yi, who commanded the large crossbowmen, Gan Ning, who led the Jinfan Army, Ma Chao, who was the bravest in Xiliang, and Pang De.

With their bravery, they can't even make it into the top five in Cao's camp.

In addition, there are family members such as Cao Ren and Xiahou brothers who are the backbone of the family.

The civil officials were even more prominent. With Xu Shu's fame and talent, he could only be ranked in the top ten in Cao's camp at most.

Cao Cao had talked with Zhuge Liang before, and Zhuge Liang said that the internal situation of the Wei Dynasty was stable and prosperous and could not be shaken, referring to the talent pool at both the civil and military levels.

It was precisely because Cao Cao had gathered these civil and military officials that the Wei Dynasty was able to be invincible and have every possible strategy.

He looked at these names for a long time before putting away the merit book, looking up at the map hanging on the wall, his eyes scanning back and forth between Xianbei and Goguryeo.

Zhen Mi was wearing a white and blue Han-style skirt, and her hands, as delicate as fresh snow, were grinding ink.

Cao Cao looked at it for a moment, then picked up a pen and wrote the three words "Ping Bei Ce" on a piece of paper.

Then lines of handwriting appeared under his pen:
"For thousands of years, the northern part of China has been plagued by border troubles.

During the Shang and Zhou dynasties, there was a Guifang tribe in the north;
During the Eastern Zhou and Warring States periods, there were the Donghu and Linhu who caused trouble;

During the Qin and Han dynasties, there were the Xiongnu;
And then to today's Xianbei."

"No matter how they rotate, these foreign races all attack our Shenzhou to strengthen themselves, causing unrest among the people and countless casualties.

During the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the Donghu and Quanrong tribes repeatedly seized the borders of China, raped, plundered, and committed all kinds of evil.

"During the Qin Dynasty, the Xiongnu rose up and became increasingly brutal. They set fire to the northern border and killed and injured tens of thousands of people every day. They cut off their heads to make wine vessels."

"During Emperor Gaozu's reign, the Xiongnu looted more than 300,000 Han people, cooking them for food and enslaving them."

"Today's Xianbei... In summary, whenever our Han territory is weak and in internal strife, it will be attacked by the northern nomadic tribes.

I want to raise an army to pacify the north and eradicate all evil, and the people of Wei should work together to do this..."

Cao Cao wrote hundreds of words fluently.

From the next day, the strategy for pacifying the north was spread throughout the Wei Dynasty and announced to all the armies, departments, and prefectures.

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

Just as Cao Cao said, for thousands of years, China and the nomadic peoples in the north have been entangled.

The two sides are real enemies.

It is the hatred accumulated from the deaths of countless lives!
Cao Cao wanted to raise an army to quell the threat in the north, and the Pacification Plan was a pre-war mobilization.

The second half of the article, including strategic deployment and arrangements, was circulated only among Cao's generals.

As soon as the strategy of pacifying the north was announced, starting from mid-June, Cao's generals requested to join the war in an endless stream.

Letters requesting to go to war were sent in one after another.

This was exactly Cao Cao's purpose. He wanted to stir up the emotions of the generals before the battle so that when the battle started the next day, the generals would fight more fiercely and ruthlessly.

noon.

Guo Jia came to Cao Cao's study:
"Your Majesty, Zhang Liao is on the northern front and has just received news from Goguryeo."

"The King of Goguryeo sent an envoy to reply that he was seriously ill and had received a letter from the Kingdom of Wei. He was filled with fear and hoped to come to the pilgrimage. But he did not dare to see Your Majesty in his sick state. When he is better, he will come to apologize."

The King of Goguryeo claimed to be ill and could not come.

Before Cao Cao asked Xun Yu to write the letter, they both guessed that Gao Nanwu would not dare to come.

It is not an exaggeration to accuse him of treason and disobedience because he refused the imperial order.

It will take some time to prepare for the battle against the Xianbei.

However, in fighting Goguryeo, the Wei Dynasty could be self-sufficient by relying solely on food and wages from the northern front by stationing troops and cultivating farmland.

Especially after conquering Buyeo, raising troops on the spot was no longer considered an expedition.

They were able to quickly organize troops and attack Goguryeo.

Then they would use their captured baggage to supply the Xianbei, and their own consumption would be passed on to Goguryeo.

Attacking Goguryeo was part of the preparation before attacking the Xianbei.

This was also the strategic plan discussed by Cao Cao and his ministers.

In mid-June, the Wei Dynasty attacked the northern gate.

Zhang Liao stood on the city wall of Youbeiping County.

He had just received a combat order from Cao Cao and was preparing to attack Goguryeo.

"Send a message to General Le of Buyeo to move the troops eastwards and prepare for war."

Zhang Liao said, "Let the crossbow troops march to Fuyu Prefecture to join General He Le."

At the northern gate of the Wei Dynasty, smoke of war rose again.

……

Goguryeo.

"Your Majesty, the Wei army stationed in Buyeo is marching towards our border."

A royal soldier entered the Goguryeo palace and reported to Gao Nanwu.

"How many troops did they mobilize?"

"The troops have just started to move, and it is still unclear how large the scale is."

Gao Nanwu paced back and forth a few steps anxiously, then sat back down in his seat:

"Are the arrangements we made to deal with Buyeo still usable?"

"The Han people only took over Buyeo's defenses. Our spies and manpower planted in Buyeo are still there."

Gao Nan said hello, and a fierce look flashed across his face:
“Order all parties to use all Wei’s troops, horses, and supplies to sabotage, poison, and set fire.

If the poison doesn't kill the people, then poison their horses.

Send another order to all the tribes: those who fear war will be killed without mercy! "

When Gao Nanwu refused to meet Cao Cao, he was thinking about how to respond when the Wei army raised an army.

“Tell our people hiding in Buyeo to kill the Wei generals with all their strength and spread the news that the Wei army transferred the Buyeo people to the Great Wei in order to kill them and make them slaves.

Provoke unrest in Fuyu and create trouble for the Wei army."

The soldiers received the order and immediately went down to pass it on.

At the same time, the spies of the Wei Dynasty were also mobilized.

The Wei Dynasty's spy code-named Mermaid was targeting countries in the northeast such as Buyeo and Goguryeo.

Goguryeo had people in Buyeo, and Buyeo naturally had many spies in Goguryeo.

At this time, these spies were transferred to the hands of the Wei Dynasty.

The one who took over these Buyeo spies was Mermaid No. 1 of the Great Wei.

He was the chief of the Wei's spies in the northeast.

His name was Xu Tianyou. As a businessman, he did seafood business in Goguryeo and opened many brothels to entertain dignitaries.

If you love seafood, the restaurant he opened has the most authentic taste, with a full range of varieties from high, medium and low end.

Mermaid No. 1, at this time, was entering the house of the regent of Goguryeo, to deliver the beauty and to assassinate and take the person's head.

There is an undercurrent in the northeast of Dawei.

Everything is normal in Yecheng.

Also in mid-June, Ling Jin led people to the ancient site of the Shang Dynasty and spent more than half a month to basically clean out the valuables from the Shang king's tomb.

In the evening, he stood on a hill and looked into the distance in the direction of the Shang King's Tomb.

The ground in that direction suddenly sank into a huge hole hundreds of feet deep.

It sounded like a huge dragon was turning over underground, with a loud bang.

Ling Jin, along with a group of tomb raiders, looked solemn as they stared at the area that was sinking like a crack in the ground.

There was a black cloud rising up that covered the sky and the sun and would not dissipate.

There were also bursts of sharp whistling sounds that were breathtaking.

It was not until three days later that Dao Zun, Li Wufang, came out of that area and joined Ling Jin.

Not only did Li Wufang's face look grim with blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, but even a corner of Dao Zun's Taoist robe was torn.

In late June, the group returned to Yecheng with the gold, silver, pearls and jade they had found from the tomb.

study.

Daozun, Ling Jin, and Li Wufang came in from outside: "Your Majesty."

The Taoist Master held the Shang King Ding in his hands.

The amazing thing is that as soon as the tripod entered the study, a surge of luck emerged and it became connected with the imperial seal.

The curse on the wall of the tripod that civilization will be destroyed is extremely mysterious.

Cao Cao personally stepped forward and looked at the Shang King Ding.

When the aura of the imperial seal further blended with it, the chaotic energy in the cauldron dissipated, revealing the true appearance hidden inside the cauldron.
