Three Kingdoms: I, the Emperor of Wei, am loyal and pure!

In the spring of the third year of Jian'an, it was March.

The last cold spring has passed.

Outside the city of Xudu, there is a lot of greenery.

The soldiers and people in the field all started to get busy.

Although most of the farmland is still planted with spring wheat, millet and millet, there are also many fields that are beginning to be planted with high-yielding crops such as sweet potatoes and potatoes.

After Cao Ang obtained the seed potatoes of these high-yield crops last year, he asked Luo Jun, the governor of Chen County, and Chen Deng, the governor of Guangling County, to start planting them in Chenjun and Xuzhou.

The places planted earlier have already been plowed twice, and the places planted late have also been harvested.

In addition to keeping enough local seed potatoes, the excess output was sent to Xudu, Yuzhou, Huainan, Lujiang and other places for trial planting by local field officials or government agencies.

In Xudu, it was Ren Jun, the general of Diannong Zhonglang, who personally practiced the method and watched the military villages planting seed potatoes.

As for farming methods, Cao Ang had already taught Ren Jun a long time ago.

In fact, it is not just Ren Jun who attaches great importance to it.

Cao Cao and Xu Duwen and Wu also tasted the deliciousness of roasted sweet potatoes, fried potatoes, and potato stew this winter, and they immediately praised them.

After learning about the yield of sweet potatoes and potatoes, I was even more amazed!

As a result, Cao Ang's Shennong deeds began to spread again among the civil and military officials in Xudu.

A man of great bravery, a superb shot, a miraculous doctor, a divine farmer, and a god with military skills. It was said in the public and private sectors that Cao Lang was the reincarnation of a god!

Even Cao Cao almost doubted whether he had given birth to the wrong child. How could the old Cao family have such a god-like son of a dragon and a phoenix?

Cao Ang just took this as a joke, but after hearing this, Mrs. Ding almost chased Lao Cao all over the Prime Minister's Mansion.

However, Cao Cao only dared to hide and was angry but dared not speak.

Although Cao Cao respected his wife, he was not so afraid of Mrs. Ding.

But who knew that Cao Ang was raised by Mrs. Ding and was very close to this mother, so Cao Cao now does not dare to offend Mrs. Ding, his first wife.

I'm afraid that if my eldest son becomes petty again, he will cause something like how Wancheng burned him.

But at the same time, Cao Cao also lived very comfortably this winter, and even gained some weight.

A year ago, Cao Cao was walking on thin ice, with only a few soldiers and few generals. He was surrounded by enemies on all sides. Sometimes he even couldn't keep up with the food and grass. He was living with his belt tight.

Since the battle of Wancheng, when he took his eldest son Cao Ang on an expedition, he has been able to turn danger into good fortune and turn danger into safety.

Cao Ang even grew lotuses step by step, bringing surprises to Cao Cao one after another!

In just one year, several princes were wiped out and others were crippled.

This made the Cao family's territory nearly triple and their military strength nearly ten times greater!

To put it bluntly, Cao Cao had soldiers, food, and money thanks to Cao Ang, so the pressure was lightened and he became fat.

As the prime minister, he also focused on handling government affairs, leaving military power to the good eldest son Cao Ang, the general.

Although Cao Cao also boasted that he was good at leading and using troops, he also liked to conduct military campaigns himself.

But that was because there was no general in Cao Cao's army who could compare with Cao Cao. Cao Cao didn't trust others to lead the troops, so he went on many expeditions in person.

But Cao Ang's military talent and bravery were ten times and a hundred times better than Cao Cao's.

Cao Cao was naturally happy to let Cao Ang lead the troops and take charge of the government affairs and provide good logistics.

At this moment, outside Xudu City, Cao Cao and Cao Ang's father and son were riding side by side, cruising in the countryside.

Dian Wei, Cao Hong, Guo Jia, Jia Xu and other trusted generals and advisers accompanied him.

Not far away, I saw Ren Jun, the general of Diannong Zhonglang, personally rolling up his trouser legs and teaching the field soldiers how to plant seed potato vines.

Cao Ang looked at Ren Jun's meticulous look and carried out the planting methods he taught him so well. He couldn't help but feel very pleased:"Ren Jun is a model farmer and a lieutenant general. He works hard and is loyal to his work. He is really in the right place."! You have done a great job in farming!"

On the side, Cao Cao looked at his elder son with a proud face and said with a smile:"Yes, my father knew Ren Junzhi's talents, so he took charge of the farming affairs.

Open up the situation for my son, and do it for my son. Before our army continued to seize grain and grass, thanks to Ren Jun's success in farming, our army could barely continue to have grain and grass.

Now our army has sufficient grain and grass, and we have high-yielding varieties such as the sweet potatoes and potatoes discovered by Zixiu. From now on, not only There is no longer any worry about food shortages in the army, and even the people under his rule are getting more and more abundant year by year."

Cao Cao's words not only praised Cao Ang, but also praised himself, showing that he had a keen eye for appointing Ren Jun.

Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Jia Xu and others next to them naturally boasted about the rainbow:"The prime minister and the general and his son have stabilized the world, wiped out the four directions, and paid attention to farming and mulberry farming. In the future, the soldiers and civilians of the world will have enough to eat all day long. No more worries about famine, it’s all thanks to the Prime Minister and the General!"

Although he knew it was a rainbow fart, Cao Cao obviously seemed to be taking advantage of it.

Cao Ang also smiled and took it calmly.

Because this is indeed his fault!

It was because of him that Lao Cao lived such a happy life in advance.

After inspecting the outskirts of Xudu, Cao Cao, Cao Ang and others arrived at the Xiaochang military camp outside the city.

However, I saw the Hussar Army, Xiao Cavalry Army, Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, Hujie Army, Qingzhou Soldiers, Flying Cavalry Army, Hebei New Army and other Cao troops, all performing martial arts in full swing on the school grounds.

After a winter of military training by Cao Ang, Cao's old army became more sophisticated, and the newly established Hebei New Army was more energetic than when he was Yuan's army.

Especially the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, which were originally elite cavalry selected from the Hussars and Valiant Cavalry. Two hundred Jinyi guards were added as officers, and Cao Cao selected another three hundred Cao clan's Xiahou clan and Cao Jun's meritorious children to join them. They are all brave and vigorous men.

At this time, one man and two horses, wearing heavy armor, were really like tigers and leopards descending from the mountain when they were practicing charging into the formation!

Compared with the heavy cavalry trained by Cao Ang, they are not inferior at all!

Because they are from the same origin!

Looking at the three thousand tiger and leopard cavalry, Cao Cao's eyes were burning, and Cao Hong, Cao Chun, Xia Houyuan, Xia Houdun and others were all drooling!

They all know that the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry trained by their young master will serve as the central guard of the Cao family and will be controlled by a noble general of the Cao family!

These generals of the Cao family all want to be the first generals of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry!

"After training such a powerful soldier in one winter, Zixiu really gave his father a big surprise!"

Cao Cao said with amazement, extremely satisfied and pleased with the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. Seeing the transformation of the other armies, they were also surprised.

Especially when he saw the Beiwei Army, he was even more shocked!

"Is this the Beiwei Army secretly trained by Zixiu?

It seems that they are more brave and fearless than the Xiaoqi Army and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, but also show a kind of restraint.

It would not have been possible to become such a strong soldier without being tempered by thousands of battles!"

Cao Cao looked at Bei Weijun and said with a horrified look on his face. Even though he knew that his family was as talented as dragons, phoenixes and unicorns, he was shocked by Bei Weijun. Cao Cao was like this, let alone others! Suddenly, he was shocked by Bei Weijun.

For a while, everyone kept marveling.

But after being amazed, they all accepted it.

They just felt that this Beiwei Army, like Cao Langqian, Xuanjia and Cao Langnu, was secretly formed by Cao Ang in order to keep it secret.

Cao Ang Smiling without saying a word, after a winter of snow, the Beiwei Army finally appeared reasonably.

And this also shows that the time for the Northern Expedition has arrived.

Today, Cao Cao and Cao Ang, with their civil and military personnel, inspected the fields and military camps outside the city. It is to check for leaks and fill vacancies, and to inspect the rear.

After the field affairs are stable and there is no need for new manpower, the army that has been dormant outside Xudu city for the whole winter is time to move!

"Mr. Jia Xu, you are the commander-in-chief of the military division, holding the military talisman, and you are heading south to Shouchun with the three generals Yu Jin, Xu Huang, and Le Jin.

Join forces with Qiao Rui, Yan Xiang and others, and prepare to conquer Jiangdong!

I will allocate three thousand heroic cavalry troops and follow you to the south!"(To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Cao Ang looked at Jia Xu, Yu Jin, Xu Huang, and Le Jin, and said this.

This is the consensus reached by Cao Ying before. It's just time. Cao Ang This general is just a formal appointment.

"I obey the general's orders!"

Jia Xu, Yu Jin, Xu Huang and others immediately took the order.

Cao Ang handed over the Fujie Order Arrow to Jia Xu, feeling very relieved.

Although there are many rats in Jiangdong, and Zhou Lang is here.

But Qiao Rui, Yan Xiang, Yang Hong, Liu Yao The other four were theoretically enough to deal with Jiangdong. Just in case

, Cao Ang sent out the poisonous warrior Jia Xu, as well as three generals: Yu Jin, Xu Huang, and Le Jin, plus Tai Shici in Yuzhang, which was enough to suppress the enemy. Jiangdong!

Even if you can't take Jiangdong quickly, you can still encroach on it step by step.

"General Cao Ren, you are the general who conquers the south, and you are a fake axe. Lead 100,000 elite troops from the Qingzhou and Yuzhou armies, march into Nanyang County, and garrison Rangcheng!

I took General Wang Yanzhang as my deputy, added General Zhennan, and led two thousand cavalry troops to follow.

Yang'an Duwei Li Tong, school captain Li Dian and other generals were marching with him.

At that time, Zhang Lu, the governor of Hanzhong County, also led Hanzhong soldiers to help. In Jiangxia, Han Siam and Yang Fenghui coerced Liu Qi to follow him.

The purpose of this battle is to encroach on Jingzhou, there is no need to attack by force[]

When I pacify Hebei, Jingzhou will surrender without a fight!"

Cao Ang looked at Cao Ren again. Among the Cao family's clan members, apart from Cao Cao and Cao Ang, he was the most important minister.

Historically, in the early days of Cao Cao's army, Cao Cao personally conquered the army, and Cao Ren stayed in Xudu.

Later, when the family business grew, it was Cao Cao. Sitting in Xudu, Cao Ren was a general, sitting in Fancheng, competing with Guan Yu in Jingzhou.

At this time, Cao Ang had expanded the Cao family's family business more than ten years in advance, and he could also allow Cao Ren, an uncle of the clan, to enjoy a wave of leading troops for ten years in advance. Wan felt that.

The general who entered Jingzhou this time was especially Cao Ren.

He also gave his general, Iron Spear Wang Yanzhang, to Cao Ren as his deputy general, and Yang'an Captain Li Tong and school captain Li Dian also There are people who are brave and resourceful enough to deal with Huang Zhong, Wenpin and other generals in Jingzhou.

Among them, Li Dian, like Le Jin, is one of the five good generals of Cao Wei who became famous later!

At this time, Cao Ang also gave Li Dian his fame in advance. Opportunity

"I obey the general's orders!"

Cao Ren, Wang Yanzhang and other generals immediately accepted the order.

Immediately afterwards, Cao Ang looked at Zhang Xiu and Yan Xing:"General Zhang Xiu, I represent you as General Po Qiang. General Yan Xing is the deputy general, leading the Yongliang army of 40,000. He went to Guanzhong and joined forces with Sili Colonel Zhong Yao to defend Ma Teng."

Zhang Xiu is an old acquaintance. After he surrendered, he was granted the title of General Wu. At this moment, Cao Ang promoted him to the rank of General Po Qiang. He was originally the general of Liangzhou, which is appropriate. And Yan Xing was once the general of Liangzhou.

Han Sui's generals were also fierce generals in Liangzhou.

Cao Ang handed over the 40,000 elite Xiliang princes in Guanzhong that Jia Xu surrendered, that is, the Yongliang army, and asked them to lead them to Guanzhong and be sent by Sili captain Zhong Yao.

If anything happened to Ma Teng, Ma Chao and his son, Zhong Yao, Zhang Xiu Yanxing and 40,000 to 50,000 Yongliang elites would be enough to prevent Ma Teng and his son from leaving Guanzhong.

"I obey the general's orders!"

Zhang Xiu and Yan Xing also looked happy and accepted the order happily.

Finally, it was Cao Ang himself.

He would personally lead three cavalry groups, the Hussars Army, the Beiwei Army, and the Flying Cavalry Army, and Gao Shun's troops fell into the camp and the Tigers The Czech Army and other tens of thousands of elite troops, as well as the 90,000 Hebei New Army led by Xu You, Jiang Qi, and Gao Lan are marching north.

Zang Ba of Taishan County and other 80,000 troops will also march north together, with a total army of 200,000!

As for Lao Cao, of course, led the tiger and leopard cavalry and the remaining tens of thousands of Cao's army elites, and settled in Xudu.

Dian Wei, Cao Hong, Xiahou Dun and other close generals also stayed in Xudu.

As the saying goes, before the troops and horses are moved, food and grass go first.

Cao Ang is just Orders were issued one after another, and it would still take some time before the troops and horses set off.

However, there would be mobilization of food, grass, military supplies, etc. in advance.

Along with the movement of soldiers, horses, food, and grass in the Cao family's territory such as Xudu and Yuzhou, all directions The princes who were closely watching Cao's movement suddenly trembled in their hearts, as if they were facing a formidable enemy!

Especially the Yuan brothers from the four states of Hebei Province were shocked. The land of the four states was shaken in panic, like an earthquake. Generally...er....
