Chapter 174 Cao De Zi, Wu Fan De NV

I was always typing in my dreams yesterday, is this considered a magical level?

In the third year of Jian'an, in April 192 AD, late.

Wu Fan, the governor of the Second Corps of the Cao Army, personally led seven generals, Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhou Tai, Lu Lingqi, Guo Jia, and his apprentice Li Zhan, to form an 80,000 horse and infantry army and marched into the city under Yuan Shao's rule: the plain.

In Yecheng, Liu's eldest brother Hua Xiong led 20,000 troops to guard. Because Yuan Shao's army suffered three defeats, he was seriously injured and had no power to take the initiative to attack. Although Yecheng only left Hua Xiong, he had no worries.

The 80,000-horse infantry camped and set up camp twenty miles away from the plain, but they were not in a hurry to attack the city. Yuan Shao's civil servants and generals were trapped in this regard, and the Beihai side reported urgently: Cao Ren led 35,000 troops to speed up the attack, and Beihai City was in danger.

Only then did everyone understand Wu Fan's intention: he was to drag the defenders of Pingyuan and dare not rescue Beihai. Otherwise, once the defenders of Pingyuan divided their troops, Wu Fan would lead the entire army to attack the city.

Yuan Tan was so anxious that he asked all the civil and military officials under him, but he had no good plans for this, so he could only look to the direction of the Beihai and sigh.

Eight days later, Wu Fan received a good news from the Beihai in his army: Cao Ren had captured Beihai, and the prefect Wang Xiu and the Liao general Gao Rou were captured, but the two of them refused to surrender and were released by Cao Ren.

After reading the war report, Wu Fan nodded and immediately wrote down his appointment: He appointed Cao Ren as the prefect of Beihai, Xun Yu, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun as his subordinates, and the urban policy was military. At the same time, he ordered Cao Ren to stay in the city for 5,000 people to defend the city, and Xun Yu performed the prefect as the prefect; Cao Ren himself personally led Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun two generals and other soldiers and horses to come to Pingyuan ten days later, and joined Wu Fan's main force to attack Pingyuan City.

At present, the original ministers under Emperor Xian, such as Yang Biao, Wang Yun, Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song, and Zhu Yan, have gradually accepted the reality that Emperor Xian was undermined. In the past, except for Wang Yun and Dong Cheng, everyone else was just jailed behind his back and had no idea of ​​taking practical actions. Now that Wang Yun's series of plans were discovered, Cao and Wu Fan were already surprised that they did not take his life, so how could they dare to make trouble? Another active member Dong Cheng was killed by Man Eun. The remaining ministers saw that the situation was already like this, and Emperor Xian was very happy, so they naturally stopped fighting without any unnecessary struggles.

It is precisely because of this that Wu Fan began to reuse these ministers one after another. For example, Yang Biao was appointed as the prefect of Shangdang by Wu Fan, which is an obvious example. Through this example, Wu Fan deliberately let other ministers see his determination to reuse them.

Shangdang had a small population, only about 200,000, and the city was large and still a rear city. With these many factors, Wu Fan was not afraid that Yang Biao would one day rebel without knowing the times. On the contrary, Yang Biao had very outstanding governance skills, and it was very suitable for him to manage such rear cities.

As for Xun You who was not mentioned, he was originally a protector of Cao, and now he is an agent under Xiahou Yuan, active in Jinyang.

Let’s look back at the Plain and Beihai. The two cities are about five days away. The reason why Wu Fan gave Cao Ren ten days was to let Cao Ren take advantage of the extra five days to rest. After all, Cao Ren’s long-distance marching and breaking the Beihai again was really exhausted.

The north and south vertical directions of the North Sea are adjacent to the Xia Pi and Pingyuan cities, respectively. The western front looks out from Puyang and the east is facing the sea.

Puyang was under the rule of Xiahou Dun, and the city was very stable at present, so it naturally would not pose any danger to the Beihai. Xia Pi was also the first army of Cao's army, and it was also the main battlefield for Cao and Sun Jian to fight, so there was no need to worry that Sun Jian would divide his troops to attack at this critical moment. On the plain, he was being suppressed by Wu Fan's army and did not even dare to divide his troops to rescue him. Now he naturally did not dare to send troops to attack Beihai.

Here, Beihai left 5,000 troops to defend the city, which seemed thin, but was actually very stable.

Ten days later, in early May, Cao Ren led Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, two generals, and 19,000 troops to Pingyuan. After Wu Fan joined the two armies that day, he immediately launched an attack on Pingyuan.

This time, the Cao army suffered heavy losses. The reason is that the plain is the last strong city of Yuan Shao's army. Since there is a siege weapon manufacturing site in the city, Yuan Shao's army naturally cannot give up easily. Otherwise, once the second army of Cao's army obtains this special facility, the remaining city will be under the rule of Yuan Shao, which is like a tiger, and there will be no danger to defend.

Out of this determination, the defenders in the city gathered Ji, Nanpi, and Beihai before Cao Ren captured most of the troops here. The four cities in the plain had a total of more than 70,000 troops. Four new wells were built on the city walls, scattering arrows to the siege troops.

However, Yuan Shao's army, who had suffered three defeats, had no fighters in the army, and his morale was extremely low. Facing the Cao army, especially the Qingzhou fighters, they generally felt fear; no matter how many people were, they were just a bunch of bloated numbers. After the Xun cavalry led by Lu Bu and Lu Lingqi's father NV completed a beautiful flying shè, the arch cavalry technique with twice the attack power immediately allowed more than 5,000 defenders in the city to take advantage of the empty guards in the city. Wu Fan's Qingzhou fighters once again climbed the city wall with the special effects of the new military music platform.

The next battle became one-sided. Ten minutes of special effects of military music platforms allowed Qingzhou fighters to kill more than 20,000 enemies in street battles to completely disintegrate the only remaining will of resistance in the plain guards, and they knelt down and begged for surrender. Under the escort of Xu Huang, the generals and the deathly soldiers of the first deceased, Yuan Shao finally escaped from the plain and fled to Nanpi before the city was broken.

Chen Lin and other slow-running civil and military officials were all captured by Cao's army.

Since Wu Fan had served as an official under Yuan Shao for half a year, most of the civil and military officials under Yuan Shao knew Wu Fan. Although they didn't have much to each other back then, their relationship was still harmonious. Therefore, it was not difficult for Wu Fan to bring them one by one, and asked him if he would surrender.

Among them, Chen Lin, Zhou Ang, Chunyu Qiong, Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang, Xin Pi, and Xin Ping are the people who have seen that Yuan Shao has no hope of turning the tables, or they feel that their old acquaintance Wu Fan is not difficult for them, or they are impressed by Wu Fan's personal charm, or they simply do not want to die; they surrender one after another and become Wu Fan's subordinates.

The rest were like Gao Gan, Lu Weihuang, Guan Yuanjin, Shen Pei, Jiang Yiqu, Han Juzi and others, and they still stubbornly refused to surrender and were all released by Wu Fan. These people continued to protect their Yuan Shao with emotions such as surprise, gratitude, or disdain.

In this way, Pingyuan became a city under Wu Fan's rule after Beihai. The purpose of sending troops from Yecheng was successfully achieved, killing two cities in one go, which is really exciting.

Afterwards, Wu Fan ordered Cao Ren to lead his troops back to Beihai, and the city policy was changed to defense, with the goal of Sun Jian's army in Xia Pi.

After Cao Ren left, Wu Fan revised the Jinyang urban policy and changed the original "prevention of Ji" to "strike Ji", which lasted for one year. He sent someone to convey the new urban policy to Xiahou Yuan, the prefect of Jinyang.

A month later, in early June, after the joint efforts of Wu Fan and his subordinates, the plain had recovered from the after-war sores. Wu Fan then transferred Zhang Liao, Lu Bu, Zhou Tai, Zhou Ang, Chunyu Qiong, Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang back to Yecheng, and at the same time transferred Hua Xiong, the eldest brother guarding Yecheng, to the plain. Zhang Liao was appointed as the prefect of Yecheng, and the city policy was to guide Nanpi.

In Pingyuan City, Wu Fan personally sat in the formation and accompanied the three elder brothers Hua Xiong, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, as well as the four generals, Lu Lingqi, Chen Lin, Xin Pi and Xin Ping, trained troops every day and developed internal affairs. The focus was on improving technology so that the main force would be equipped with various siege weapons in the future.

In mid-June, Cao's concubine Mrs. Huan gave birth to a boy. Cao, who was still in Xuzhou, was very happy to hear the news. He named this son Cao Chong, whose courtesy name was Cang Shu.

Compared with history, Cao Chong, who has a talented talent, was born four years early, which will inevitably have a certain impact on the historical trajectory.

Less than half a month later, good news came from Luoyang, and Cui Yingying also gave birth to a child, but she was an NV child...

Upon hearing the news, Wu Fan was stunned for a while.

It’s not that Wu Fan prefers boys over nv, but that he used to be like Cui Yingying’s belly and son calling him. This habit has affected his thinking, and he subconsciously always thought that Cui Yingying would give birth to a boy. Now, he got the news and said that he was an nv child. How can he not let Wu Fan’s brain short circuit?

The servant who sent to deliver the letter was stunned for a while when he saw Wu Fan, he thought Wu Fan was unhappy because Cui Yingying gave birth to an NV child, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

It turned out that Cui Yingying looked sad when she learned that she had given birth to an NV child. In this era, favoring boys over NV is a common social phenomenon, especially as a military officer, Wu Fan is a third-rank official and holds power. According to common sense, he must have a son to inherit his martial arts and even his title. At present, he is not successful and actually gave birth to an NV child, which made Cui Yingying depressed all day long, and he thought that from then on, Wu Fan would inevitably neglect himself.

But Wu Fan was stunned for a while, and suddenly laughed and said:

"I always thought Yingying would give me a handkerchief, but I didn't expect that she gave me a handkerchief. Hahahaha..."

The servant who delivered the letter was stunned by Wu Fan's smile. It took him a long time to come back to his senses and asked tentatively:

"Master, aren't you... angry?"

Wu Fan understood what his servant meant, and knew even more that Cui Yingying would inevitably be worried about this matter, so he waved his hand and smiled:

"Why do you think you are angry? According to genetics, NV children are also descendants of descendants, and boys... Forget it, these things are too profound and you don't understand them even after you say them. In short, when you go back, I told Yingying that I was very happy and asked her to pay attention to recuperating her body, and don't think about it. At present, I am in a formation, and I can't go back to visit their mother NV, discipline them for me, and I have to dress up beautifully every day. I will definitely be a beautiful country in the future. Hahahaha..."

When the servant saw Wu Fan really looked happy, he felt very pleased for Cui Yingying. It was a blessing to marry such a good husband. Then, the servant asked Wu Fan what name to give NV.

Only then did Wu Fan remember that he had forgotten such an important thing. After thinking about it, he said two words: Wu Ying.

The servant read these two words several times, fearing that he would remember them wrongly or forget them, so he bowed to Wu Fan and said goodbye.
Chapter completed!
