Lord of Hongmeng

Chapter 202 The Prelude to the Southern Expedition
After continuing to pay attention to the changes of the earth and stars, Chen Xuan withdrew his mind and understood everything. He glanced at it with a hint of disdain. Although the power of faith is mysterious, it is not good at using it, or blindly using it. One big disadvantage is that in Chinese mythology, the power of faith is the power of incense, and incense is poisonous, once used, it will be restrained for life.

Let them try it themselves, anyway, they can't reach the planet, and there are many hidden people on the land of the Central Plains. The previous blood demon incident is just one of them, and there are other kinds. It just depends on who is more powerful.

Turning around and leaving the small world of Birdman, looking at the small world of the so-called Olympus gods, it is actually similar, the main body cannot appear in the outside world, otherwise it will inevitably cause the obliteration of the earth and star space, don't forget, when he When the Earth and Stars were created, the ten-star Time and Space Lost Formation was also laid down. Once they were caught in it, they would sink into the space-time reversal forever and be obliterated continuously.

As for the Earth Star West, that’s another matter. They don’t intend to interfere with Earth Star’s will of heaven and earth. If the Chinese are not self-improving, there is nothing they can do about it. It is a helpless move to make them self-improvement. The meaning is naturally very different.

After thinking about it, he didn't stay any longer, and returned to Xiaoqin Village. He still had a lot of things to do, and he didn't have so much time to spend fooling around with them. Even the human race on Earth and Star had to rely on their own abilities Survival is the general trend of the world. Think about the fact that the human race on the prehistoric land did not rely on their own hands and feet to walk out. Now the earth and stars are much safer than before, and all kinds of restrictions can be guaranteed. If the safety of mortals is not enough, there is nothing to say.

The northern conquest is also getting faster and faster. After the main force of Yuan Shao is eliminated, the conquest is non-stop. After Yuan Shao fled back, he died in Yecheng the next year. Although he left the foundation to his youngest son Yuan Shang, he was also a coward. That's all, coupled with the discord among several brothers, they were unable to form a unity at all. As a result, in just a few years, the foundation was defeated again and again.

Especially when Cao attacked Yuan Tan, when he went to rescue him, he was even more defeated. It can be said that he suffered heavy losses, and he dared not make a move.

In this way, Jizhou, Qingzhou, and Bingzhou were successively pacified by Cao, and then Karasuma was broken, and then Yuan Shao’s remaining forces were eliminated, and the entire north was unified. The strength can be said to be the strongest among the princes. .

It is also the result that Cao Meng dreamed of, how can he be unhappy, and now he has started to prepare for the south attack.

In Xuchang, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty formally named Cao's prime minister and announced the Southern Expedition, and Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty naturally agreed.

As a result, the entire northern army began to stir up. The south has many water systems, and it needs a navy, and more importantly, people who train the navy. Although Cao knew that someone had already prepared it, in order to show his strength, he didn't want to use it for the time being. , is also where he is conceited. Just like what Chen Xuan thought, character has already determined success or failure, but what is the result?

In the south, it is a chaotic scene. It is almost like seeing a fierce prison coming, and there is no peace in the whole.

In Xiangyang City, among the Cai family, Cai and Cai Zhong are meeting in secret now, knowing in their hearts that once Cao Dajun comes, Xiangyang City will definitely not be safe. Meaning.

"What do you say now, Cao Wanwan's army is coming, we can't stop it at all, are we going to die here?"

"No, of course not. Since you can't stop it, why don't you surrender? You must know that Cao Dajun is from the north, and he is not familiar with the southern waters. We just take advantage of this and use it for our own use. It can help Cao Dajun go south, so For one thing, I will wait for the same glory and wealth, so I don’t have to worry about lacking at all, are you right, it’s just this risk, do you think it’s worth it?”

"Well, there is only one way now. Liu Biao is about to die, so there is no time to take care of our affairs, but just in case, we still need to be careful and not be careless. You are right, if we let other families People know, we will never let us take advantage of it, especially the people of the Shed family, we must never let them know, you should understand what I mean."

"It's natural, and you must not let them know. Don't worry, I will do a good job in this matter, and I will never let you down."

After the two plotted again, they began to secretly prepare to contact Cao to see what the result would be.

Cao soon received the Cai family's intention to surrender, and he was overjoyed. It seems that even if he didn't use the trick of dark chess, it should still work, but he would not reveal this meaning, after all, he was his subordinate , has been lurking for a long time, and its role is still huge. There are many water systems in the south, and I know in my heart that it will be used sooner or later, so I don't worry anymore, and I am anxious to come to the counselor.

Although Qin Hai is a sacrificial wine, he can be regarded as one of the counselors. When he got the news, he couldn't help but tremble. The Taoist priest is really powerful, and he already knows everything. No wonder he let Gan Ning lurk. It seems that this is the intention. His complexion remained unchanged.

Cao Jianzhi thought he might be angry, so he comforted him and said, "Yourong, what do you think about this?"

"My lord, it would be the best if the Cai family could voluntarily surrender, and it would save a lot of trouble. It's just that whether the surrender is real or fake remains to be seen. It's good to recruit talents." Qin Hai told the truth, he didn't bring it up for the sake of Gan Ning, and he acted according to what the Taoist priest said in his heart, and didn't care about gains and losses.

When Cao heard this, he nodded in relief. It would be best to think so, so he said: "This matter, the prime minister will pay attention to it, and I believe you will not let me down. Well, go prepare now, Nan The matter of levy is of great importance, and it must not be sloppy."

"Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister." No one else had any objections. It would be best if they could capture it, and if they couldn't capture it, they could delay it.

Liu Biao was still seriously ill, and soon died. Even if he had a son to inherit, it would be a pity that he would be a coward.

And Liu Bei took the opportunity to obtain most of the troops. Although he pretended to be relying on Liu Cong, he had already prepared his own way in secret. Bufan thinks that he has gained momentum and can definitely make a career out of it, but unfortunately the timing is not right and the person he meets is not right.

As Cao Dajun went south, not far from Xiangyang, the Cai family surrendered and dedicated the city of Xiangyang to Cao. To Jiangxia.

"Prime Minister, the current situation is strong for us, why not take advantage of the situation and pursue it, and we will definitely defeat the Jingzhou Division."

"No, I didn't expect Liu Bei to be so insidious. He deserves to be the person the Prime Minister had his eyes on. But so what, under such a general situation, it is impossible to leave, Cai He, Cai Zhong, Er How are you getting ready?"

When Cai and Cai Zhong heard this, they hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down and said, "Prime Minister Qi, we have already prepared the navy, and we can go south at any time to rule the world for the Prime Minister."

When Cao heard this, he nodded in satisfaction, but he still said: "As for whether you can occupy the south, it depends on your ability. As long as you can conquer the south, the prime minister will never break his promise. High officials and rich salary will not leave much, but if you make a mistake , you should know."

"Yes, Prime Minister, I understand in my heart that I will never mess up and bring the whole family to death." The two said in unison, and they were completely shocked by Cao, wanting to protect their own glory and wealth.

"Very well, then go ahead and use your navy to attack the prime minister. You need to attack, and you must not be soft."

After the two took the order, they quickly went down and got ready. This was a performance of meritorious service, how could they be unhappy?
As for the others, they were quietly waiting for the prime minister's orders, but they dared not act privately.

"Okay, you go down too, take a good look at the situation in the south, and then find out the flaws, so as to reduce casualties, the prime minister doesn't want to see it, even if you win, it will be a miserable victory. I believe you are all wise people, understand my point I mean, go down."

After hearing this, everyone retreated one after another, wondering how to behave so as to make themselves more important to the lord, but they really couldn't think of any way to do it, so they could only discuss it in private.

Qin Hai was brought along by Cao as an exception this time. The reason was simple, just to experience it, and to go home and have a look when he had time. For the time of the Three Kingdoms, "filial piety" is definitely the first, and it will be a very important point in the future. throughout the feudal era.

Looking at the people who dispersed, he also returned to his tent. Fortunately, there is Cao Gong, otherwise it would be really embarrassing.

Gan Ning found Chen Xuan immediately, told him about this matter, and then quietly stopped talking.

"Has it started?" Chen Xuan said in a low voice, and then said to Gan Ning: "Don't move, Cao is a very conceited person, if he doesn't experience failure, he will never believe it, so wait for a while, The time is not too far away, you need to be patient, as long as the time comes, Pindao will notify you, get ready now, ready to go at any time."

"Yes, Taoist priest, Xingba knows." After Gan Ning heard this, he didn't have any opinion. The Taoist priest's words were imperial edicts.

Soon Gan Ning went back to prepare in secret, and at the same time warned everything around, especially paying more attention to the military on Cao's side, especially after learning about Cai and Cai Zhong, he admired Chen Xuan even more, how true it is , as if I already knew it.
