Cao Cao was both harsh, but unfortunately Cao Zhang was not afraid at all and was about to confront him with his neck.

At this moment, a young man ran in from outside the house, grabbed Cao Zhang's arm and pulled it out of the house, "Huang Xuer, how could he be so rude to his father? Look at how angry you made his father angry? I know you feel sorry for your second sister, don't your father feel sorry for it? But how can you mix with the affairs of the country and the family and daughters' love? The father had to do it, why don't you understand it?"

The young man was Cao Cao's eldest son Cao Pi.

Seeing that Cao Cao's face turned pale, Cao Zhang finally swallowed it back when he reached his mouth.

Yes, this is a major family and country event, how can we mix up with children's personal relationships? What the father does is the Han Dynasty... But isn't my brother-in-law's actions for this Han Dynasty? Cao Zhang always felt that Cao Cao could join forces with Liu Chuang to revive the Han Dynasty. If this is true, my sister would not have to be stuck in the middle and feel uncomfortable, and his family would be happy and worry-free. But is it possible?

Cao Cao showed fatigue, "Go down Huang Xuer, Erlang will stay for the time being."

Cao Zhang opened his mouth and silently exited the study.

Cao Pi stood with his hands down and stood respectfully in front of Cao Cao.

Cao Cao attaches great importance to this second son. Especially after Cao Ang's death, Cao Cao devoted all his energy to Cao Pi... Although Cao Pi is not old, his scheming is extremely deep. Cao Cao is sure that when Cao Zhang came in just now, Cao Pi had been watching outside the house, and even Cao Pi heard the conversation between him and Cao Zhang. However, it was not until he got angry that Cao Pi ran out to stop him. This made Cao Cao feel relieved and worried... Cao Pi was scheming, but he was very disappointed with his brothers.

However, Cao Cao still believed that Cao Pi did not do anything wrong.

He was silent for a moment and said softly: "Erlang, please prepare for it. This time I will go to Hebei with me."

Cao Pi was delighted, but his face was not revealed.

Cao Cao was trying to promote him and get military merits! Cao Pi knew his situation very well. Although he was now Cao Cao's eldest son. However, his brothers were not ordinary people. Cao Zhang had two years of experience in Youzhou with Liu Chuang. He was a brave man, and his martial arts were even stronger after experiencing the war in the northern part of the Selangor. Liu Chuang even taught the top five changes in the nine changes of the dragon and snake and Cao Zhang, which made Cao Zhang's martial arts a thousand miles a day. Although he was young, he had already shown his courage and was loved by Cao Cao.

The third brother Cao Zhi does not like martial arts, but he is very literary.

Although Cao Zhi was only ten years old, he had shown extraordinary intelligence and could never forget it. His ability to express his eloquence was also very popular with Cao Cao.

In addition, there is also a fourth brother Cao Chong.

Especially Cao Chong and Cao Pi were half-brothers.

His mother, Mrs. Huan, is a prominent family in Langya, and is a hundred times nobler than Mrs. Bian's background. Cao Chong is even more intelligent and is familiar with Mengshu at the age of six. Cao Cao's love for Cao Chong even surpasses the three brothers Cao Pi. He always keeps Cao Chong by his side and loves him extremely.

Cao Pi had the wisdom of self-knowledge.

He was not as wise as Cao Zhi, and his martial arts were not as brave as Cao Zhang.

If you want to inherit Cao Cao's career in the future, you will need more merits and qualifications.

Back then, he was eight years old and fought with Cao Cao in Wancheng. After Cao Cao failed, he fled from the battlefield alone and returned to Xudu.

Among the Cao family's sons, Cao Pi still had some reputation.

But in comparison, his advantage is not obvious, so he has to fly first...

"The child follows his father's orders."

Cao Pi bowed and took the order and wanted to exit the room.

However, when he was about to withdraw, he suddenly heard Cao Cao say, "Erlang, after returning, read "Records of the Grand Historian? The Annals of the Five Emperors", and you will definitely gain a lot."

Cao Pi was stunned and quickly agreed.

But he didn't understand what Cao Cao meant to ask him to study.

So, after he returned to the house, he ordered someone to take the record of the Grand Historian. After reading the chapter "After reading the eight yuan, I made five teachings everywhere, my father, mother, brother, brother, brother, respect, son, filial, and filial, and the inside was peaceful and the outside was in peace." He suddenly felt a chill and sweated profusely. He suddenly understood what Cao Cao meant, which was clearly warning himself.

How could Cao Pi hide his little abacuses from Cao Cao's eyes?

Cao Cao asked him to come back to read the Bible of the Five Emperors. To put it bluntly, he asked him to read four words, brothers and brothers respectfully.

If your brother is not friendly, he will be disrespectful and will be difficult to be able to be at peace with his own inner and outer self...

Don’t use any of your little tricks again. As your brother, you must have the demeanor of your brother. Don’t make some cleverness there!

Cao Pi put down the volume of the Five Emperors' Chronicle, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, sat on the couch chair, and sighed after a long time.

There is joy, fear, shame, and even a sense of indescribable or unclear meaning.

The joy is because Cao Cao has established himself and will establish Cao Pi. The lessons of the Yuan family made Cao Cao dare not repeat the same mistakes. Yuan Shao built such a huge country, but because of his establishment, he made his brothers close the walls and traumatize each other. Once he died, his great foundation would quickly fall. Cao Cao told Cao Pi that he should not be smart, no one of you can take away, and don’t make plans all day long.

This time, Cao Cao took Cao Pi to Hebei to give Cao Pi a reassurance.

Cao Pi was naturally happy, but in addition to the joy, there were many different emotions mixed in it.

Since Cao Ang died in battle, Cao Pi's brotherhood has indeed become much less indifferent. He is always on guard against this and plotting against that, and even he feels hard.

Stand up and walk out of the study.

The late autumn night was filled with a hint of coolness, which made him shivering.

But this is good. Although I was worried and scared, I finally confirmed something...

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Conquering Hebei is not a trivial matter.

If Cao Cao wanted to use his troops in full, he naturally needed to make proper arrangements.

Xun Yu gave him wholeheartedly, which indeed saved Cao Cao a lot of trouble.

But things are impermanent.

Just as Cao Cao was about to raise troops to Handan, a sudden news came from Hebei, which surprised Cao Cao...

In mid-September, the general of Youzhou Navy, Gan Ning, suddenly formed a three-Han team.

In the past two years, Gan Ning's naval strength has been increasing. Especially after he cooperated with Yan Rou and participated in the war on the Korean Peninsula, he grew rapidly. The tribes of the Three Koreans have retreated step by step under Yan Rou's attack, while Gan Ning's navy has plundered along the coast of the Korean Peninsula, which has greatly damaged the San Han's vitality. This time, Gan Ning was ordered to return to the army, and he was even more ambitious... He can be regarded as Liu Chuang's former former subordinate of Qingzhou, but he has never made any achievements in the Battle of Liaodong, Youzhou, and the Battle of the North. This also made Gan Ning feel a little uncomfortable. He watched Huang Zhong and others become prosperous, but he could not share Liu Chuang's worries.

Although the navy has its own system, Gan Ning is considered to be independent... But compared with the achievements made by Huang Zhong and Wei Yan, Gan Ning always feels ashamed.

This time, Liu Chuang ordered Gan Ning to lead his troops to land in Bohai County, and Gan Ning was naturally full of anger.

He personally led 80 Harrier-like keel-bone sea ships, carrying 20,000 soldiers, landed with the Zhang River at the mouth of the sea. Then he rushed south and occupied Zhangwu.

Yuan Tan has always been on guard against Liu Chuang.

But this time, he never expected that the Han army would attack from the sea.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, people were not familiar with the sea defense line, so Yuan's army was almost unprepared. After occupying Zhangwu, Gan Ning took off without stopping and attacked quickly. He personally led a large army of 3,000 and traveled 180 miles at night, and appeared under Fuyang City like a divine weapon descending from the sky.

The Fuyang Guardian did not even figure out what happened, so Gan Ning led his troops to conquer Fuyang in one fell swoop.

At the same time, Guo Yuan, who was stationed in Chengping, Hejian, led his troops to cross the Zhang River, and troops arrived at the capital of Bohai County, under the Nanpi City...

Kong Xiu, the garrison of the Bohai Sea, hurriedly drew reinforcements from Gaocheng and Qiantong, gathered 8,000 troops and rushed to Nanpi.

However, on the way to Nanpi, these 8,000 reinforcements suddenly encountered Gan Ning's troops rushing from Fuyang. The two sides fought in Yanshan. Gan Ning led 800 soldiers to forcibly rush to the battlefield, killing the main generals of the reinforcements among the chaos, and defeating the 8,000 Yuan army with three thousand troops, which shocked the entire Bohai Sea. Afterwards, Zhou Cang led a large force to follow up and seize Gaocheng County, making Nanpidun an isolated city.

Bohai County has eight counties under its jurisdiction.

In just ten days, four counties were lost.

Seeing that the situation was over, Kong Xiu was unwilling to continue to resist, so he ordered Kaicheng to surrender, and Guo Yuan immediately occupied Nanpi.

Guo Yuan is also a very talented person with a very arrogant personality. In history, he was once the number one general under a senior official and almost captured Hedong.

However, since he joined Liu to Youzhou, Guo Yuan has really seen too many capable people.

He was still arrogant in his bones, but he was much more peaceful. After entering the city, he respected Kong Xiu very much and treated him as a guest of honor. Kong Xiu was not blind, so how could he not see that Yuan's family was at a loss? He immediately offered advice to Guo Yuan, expressing his willingness to persuade the surrender of the other three counties under the Bohai rule.

Guo Yuan immediately sent someone to contact Gan Ning and sent Kong Xiu to the same time.

On the third day after Nanpi was occupied, Yuan Jun of Dongguang County put down his weapons and surrendered from the city.

Immediately afterwards, Yangxin and the two counties also announced their surrender to Liu Chuang. The huge Bohai County took only eighteen days to send troops from Ganning to the eight counties.

By the time Cao Cao got the news, the entire Bohai County had fallen into the hands of Liu Chuang.

This also surprised Cao Cao and was a little panicked for a moment.

"Who is this Gan Ning? Why are there so many warriors under Chuang'er's tent?"

It’s no wonder Cao Cao didn’t know Gan Ning, mainly because Gan Ning has always been too low-key.

Although he presided over the navy, he had been fighting abroad for many years. In the northern battles, most of them were infantry and cavalry. Who would have thought that Liu Chuang had an elite overseas? Especially the road from the Korean Peninsula to the Central Plains was blocked by Liu Chuang. Gan Ning was famous in the Three Koreans, but he was always unknown in the Central Plains. After three years of accumulation, he finally made a big splash... But this time, Gan Ning's assault was too fierce.

Fortunately, it was Cao Cao, if he had changed his person, he would not have reacted at all.

After the initial panic, Cao Cao calmed down...

Liu Chuang's capture of the Bohai Sea did disrupt Cao Cao's original plan. The loss of the Bohai Sea means that Liu Chuang's troops could drive straight into Qingzhou.

And that mysterious navy can raid the cities along the Qingzhou coast along the way, and the entire Qingzhou will become Liu Chuang's target.

In this case, I want to be on guard...

Cao Cao took a deep breath and couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. (To be continued...)
