Chapter 252 Good news

Bu Qiang: Zhang Liao is Wu Fan’s seventh brother, not the sixth brother. When I wrote this chapter, I found out that Zhang Liao and Wu Fan’s birth year was the same...

"It's not easy for you to be tall, you're dead!"

Joe finally couldn't help but explode.

I have been watching you for a long time just now, but I am looking at the brocade robe. Fortunately, I am nervous and secretly happy, so I am wasting my feelings.

But then again, people see where their freedom is, why do they quarrel at them?

Qiao felt a little apologized and puzzled for the unreasonable explosion just now.

However, it is similar to the difficulty of letting women admit their mistakes to men, especially to let arrogant women like Qiao admit their mistakes to men.

Although Wu Fan has high intelligence, he does not have the index of emotional intelligence in the game, so naturally he has no adjustment, so his emotional intelligence level is still at his original height. He has never been in love before, so he certainly cannot understand Qiao's capricious mentality, and he doesn't understand what Qiao's stubbornness has been hindered by what he said just now.

The two of them fell into silence again. After walking for a while, the carriage had already walked out of the city gate. Qiao hesitated for a moment before boarding the carriage, but still asked:

"Hey, I'm leaving, will you miss me?"

When he said this, Qiao looked at Lujiang in the northeast, deliberately making a casual look to hide the faint bitterness and reluctance in his heart.

Wu Fan also followed Qiao's gaze and replied:

"It should be. After all, human life in the world is not much more tenacious than the lamb. Maybe you may die if you leave."

Qiao was very happy when he heard Wu Fan's first sentence, but when he heard Wu Fan's next two sentences, his interest was completely gone. He looked at Wu Fan with resentment and said:

"You dead man, I will definitely live longer than you. Take care of yourself and don't really let me make the decision!"

After saying that, Qiao got into the caravan, and the coachman shouted "Drive!" and the carriage ran down the northeast without any haste.

He left Wu Fan standing in front of the city gate, watching the carriage gradually fade away, and he was really unable to tell what it felt. Originally, Wu Fan thought that Qiao would be very happy after he finally left, but the actual situation was not the case. In a vague way, Wu Fan felt a little disappointed.

Why is this?

Wu Fan was puzzled by this.

Maybe it’s because they are all from the same world and they have a special sense of identity with each other.

Wu Fan comforted himself with certainty.

Qiao left, and Wu Fan's life returned to its former peace. At least when he was practicing martial arts in the back garden, no one would call out loud.

The day after Qiao left, Wu Fan's elder brother Cao bsp; in the past, Cao Cao sent civil servants to Wu Fan, mostly to convey personnel appointments to Wu Fan's subordinates, that is, promotions and titles. This time, the target of personnel appointments for civil servants was Wu Fan.

Most half a month ago, Emperor Xian received a document of victory sent by Cao Cao to destroy Liu Bei in Yecheng. When he learned that Liu Bei was dead, Emperor Xian was very sad, but Cao Cao later described Liu Bei's ambitions in detail, such as the name of the two words "Fengshan", etc., so Emperor Xian was stunned for a while and looked at the document for a long time without saying a word.

At that moment, Emperor Xian remembered what Wu Fan once said to him, "The big jian looks like loyalty" and "The big false jian looks like true", and was deeply moved by it.

Then, at the reminder of Zhang Zhao, the prefect of Yecheng, Emperor Xian threw these wrong Sixu aside and began to grant Cao Cao an official title. Since Cao Cao had already been appointed as the first-rank prime minister, he could only be granted the title as "public".

The center of Cao Cao's current territory was also the center of Wei State during the Warring States Period. Therefore, Emperor Xian granted Cao bsp; this was completely consistent with Cao Cao's title in history, and the historical trajectory once again played its special role here.

After Cao Cao was granted the title of Duke of Wei, he began to be ordered to form the Duke of Wei, establish the Wei County Luoyang, and establish the Duke of Duke of China.

Among them, Wu Fan was ranked first among the officials appointed by Cao Cao. He was named General of Cavalry by Cao Cao, and was appointed as the first rank of the official, and was also the governor of the Second Army and the Marquis of Jin. The construction of General Cavalry was officially started in Luoyang.

After being promoted to a first-rank official, Wu Fan's number of troops commanded also reached the maximum limit, with a total of 100,000 soldiers!

Such a command scale, coupled with Wu Fangao's command, is undoubtedly a nightmare for the enemy forces.

However, except for Wu Fan, the civil and military officials under Cao Cao were generally not very good. Jia Xu, the highest achievement among civil officials, was only a third-rank official, and his official position was Shangshu Ling. Among military officials, the highest achievement among military officials, except Wu Fan, was Zhang Liao, who was also a third-rank official, and his official position was General Zhenxi.

The fundamental reason for such an embarrassing situation was Wu Fan. Yes, it was all this caused by Wu Fan. It was just because his siege of cities and land was too fast, and compared with the corresponding periods in history, it took too short, so that the achievements of other civil and military officials under Cao Cao had not reached the corresponding periods in history. Therefore, the official positions of everyone were generally low.

However, this does not affect the overall situation. The official positions of civil and military officials under Cao Cao are relatively low, and this is especially true for other forces. Compared with the corresponding periods in history, official positions are generally lower than those of the second to third ranks. On the contrary, the official positions of civil and military officials under Cao Cao are slightly higher than those of other forces.

The civil servants who worked in the civil service have finished their appointments and congratulated Wu Fan with many civil servants and generals under Wu Fan. Wu Fan is now a real minister, above ten thousand people, with a prominent reputation. Everyone knows Wu Fan's name!

As a result, Wu Fan's reputation rose by 20 points again to 3574 points.

Three days later, the Wu Mansion was still immersed in the joy of Wu Fan's promotion to General of the Cavalry. The rewards of the front line were reported, which was very effective. Liu Biao's territory, Jiangxia and Xiangyang were successively conquered by Han Sui and Li Zhan. At present, Liu Biao only had a new city, Shangyong, and the city defense index was extremely low. Most of the defenders were defeated by Jiangxia and Xiangyang. The morale was low and the morale was decisive. One battle could be decided!

Wu Fan was very happy and immediately appointed Li Zhan as the prefect of Xiangyang after receiving the good news, and Han Sui as the prefect of Jiangxia. The policy of Bu Xiangyang's city was: to guide Shangyong, and the policy of Bu Jiangxia's city was: to guard against Chaisang.

In addition, Cui Yan was appointed as the prefect of Xinye, and three political figures, Guoyuan, Wang Ling and Mi Zhu, went to Xinye. As a subordinate general of the prefect Cui Yan, the policy of building Xinye city is: to develop internal affairs.

Less than ten days after these three personnel appointments, good news came from Shangyong: Liu Biao died of illness in depression. With the support of Mrs. Cai, Cai Mao and others, Liu Cong inherited Liu Biao's official title, became the Mu Mu of Jingbei and was also the prefect of Shangyong. The first thing Liu Cong did after taking office was to send a letter of surrender to Wu Fan under the persuasion of Fu Xun, Kuai Yue, Han Song and others!

"What a wise monarch."

After reading the letter of submission, Wu Fan laughed and said.

Since Liu Cong was about to surrender, Wu Fan had no reason to refuse. He immediately ordered the civil servants to convey to Liu Cong with his own handwritten appointment letter: he still appointed Liu Cong as the prefect of Shangyong. He also asked Cao Cao for instructions and appointed Liu Cong as a marquis to show other princes.

Since Shangyong is located in the rear city, it is connected with Hanzhong and Xiangyang on both sides of the east and west sides, and there is no enemy city that can send troops to fight here, so naturally there is no need to leave too many civil and military officials. In the appointment letter, Wu Fan transferred most of the civil and military officials in Shangyong City to other front-line cities, leaving only Wang Can, Yi Ji and Xiang Lang as the three political figures under Liu Cong, and the policy of deploying Shangyong City is: to develop internal affairs.

The dispatch of other civil and military officials who were originally in Shangyong are:

Fu Xun, Wang Wei, Zhang Yun and Cai Mao were dispatched to Hanzhong and became Zhang Lu's subordinates.

Huang Zu, Liu Qi, and Pan Rui were sent to Chang'an and became Yuan Shao's subordinates.

Zhong Yao, Sun Gan, and Jian Yong were sent to Anding and became Zhang Liao's subordinates.

Huo Jun and Liu Pan were dispatched to Jiangxia and became Han Sui's subordinates.

Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue were transferred to Jiangling and stood by Wu Fan.

Han Song, Cai Zhong and Cai He were dispatched to Xiangyang; Han Song replaced Li Zhan as the prefect of Xiangyang, and Cai Zhong and Cai He were the subordinate generals of Han Song. The new urban policy of Xiangyang was: to develop internal affairs, Xiangyang has now become a rear city.

Li Zhan led Wen Pin, Zang Ba, Zhang Ren and 150,000 troops back to Jiangling and continued to station in Lingxicheng Pass.

It is worth mentioning that Zhuge Liang strongly opposed Liu Cong's request to surrender to Wu Fan under the persuasion of his subordinates. After learning that Liu Cong sent a letter to Wu Fan with a request to surrender, Zhuge Liang stepped down before Shangyong changed his flag, and he didn't know where he went.

Not only did Wu Fan not have any regrets, but was a little lucky. If Zhuge Liang did not step down and surrendered to Cao's army like other civil and military officials under Liu Cong, he would not have been able to kill him anymore. In this way, wouldn't it be a good deal?

Wu Fan is just trying to kill Zhuge Liang; he thinks especially, strongly, and dreams! Yu Gong, Zhuge Liang, insisting on his own actions, causing countless creatures to suffer, and the pace of national unity was blocked; Yu Gong, Zhuge Liang angered Zhang Fei and wanted to kill Wu Fan's apprentice Li Zhan with Zhang Fei's hand. Wu Fan kept keeping this account in his heart!

In fact, Wu Fan is also a very protective person. Li Zhan is his only apprentice, and he is also the husband of Ling'er, the close maid he trusts most. With these two factors, Wu Fan is naturally extremely protective of Li Zhan. Zhuge Liang angered Zhang Fei and killed who is not good, but he wanted to kill Li Zhan, so he could only blame him for choosing the wrong person.

After Shangyong was pacified, several days later, there was another good news on the western front: Zhang Liao had captured Tianshui, the throat of Ma Teng's army, and at present, only two cities, Xiping and Wuwei, were left by Ma Teng. The Zhang Liao army, which occupied Tianshui, could not pose any threat to other cities in the northwest.

After receiving the good news from Zhang Liao, Wu Fan immediately appointed Zhang Liao as the prefect of Tianshui, Lu Bu, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, Xun You, Zhong Yao and Sun Gan as his generals. The policy of Bu Tianshui City was to guide Xiping.

As for the vacant Anding City, Wu Fan appointed Wei You in Jiangling as the prefect, and Wu Ju and Jian Yong were his subordinates and went to Anding to take up their posts. The policy of building Anding City is to develop the city: to develop internal affairs.

Wei You and the other two left, and then another good news came from the western front: Zhang Lu's army captured Zitong, the territory under Liu Yan, while Yuan Shao's army captured Chengdu, the largest city under Liu Yan's territory!

Wu Fan was really busy and enjoyed it again. He was happy with his generals and ministers, and then immediately wrote down a new personnel appointment: to appoint Zhang Lu as the prefect of Zitong, Zhang Wei, Yang Ren, Zhang Yun, Wang Wei, Cai Mao, and Wang Wei as his subordinates, and to build Zitong's city policy to guide Jiangzhou.

Yuan Shao was appointed as the prefect of Chengdu, Xu Huang, Ju Su, Gongsun Zan, Tian Kai, Zhang Yan, Gao Gan, and Huang Zu were appointed as his generals, and the policy of laying Chengdu's cities was also to guide Jiangzhou.

The two cities of Chang'an and Hanzhong, which originally belonged to Yuan Shao and Zhang Lu, have now become blank cities, and new prefects and ministers are urgently needed to appoint new prefects and ministers. Wu Fan appointed Pan Rui as the prefects of Chang'an, Liu Qi and Fu Xun as their subordinates, and the policy of building Chang'an's city is: to demonstrate internal affairs. Appointing Yan Pu as the prefects of Hanzhong, Yang Ang and Yang Bai as their subordinates, and the policy of building Hanzhong is also: to demonstrate internal affairs.

At this point, the Ma Teng army on the western front only had two cities, Xiping and Wuwei, and the Liu Yan army only had three cities, Jiangzhou, Yong'an and Jianning. These five cities were all remote areas, with sparse populations and low internal affairs, and could no longer become a climate. To pacify these two forces, it was only early or evening.

While Wu Fan's troops conquered cities and plundered the land, they would also receive corresponding reputation rewards. After all, they were all under the banner of the Second Corps of the Cao Army. As the leader of the Second Corps, Wu Fan's reputation was naturally widely spread. After conquering three cities on the Western Front, Wu Fan's reputation rose by hundreds of points, and has now reached 42o6 points!

However, while the Second Corps on the Western Front was in a state of great power, the First Corps and Third Corps on the Eastern Front were struggling with difficulty, because Sun Jian's army's military strength was really strong.

After the extermination of Shanyue, Sun Jian's army eliminated the biggest disaster in the backyard, and incorporated more than 200,000 surrendered soldiers in Shanyue, and organized them into barbarian soldiers. The combat power was quite strong. Originally, Sun Jian's army occupied the eight cities of Jiangdong, Jianye, Wu, Kuaiji, Jian'an, Nanhai, Chaisang, Lujiang, Shou, and had the danger of the Yangtze River, and it was very difficult to deal with the advantages of the navy. Now with more than 200,000 barbarian soldiers to help, it is no wonder that Cao Cao and Xiahou Dun's army had no progress.

Even the Peicheng of Xiahou Dun's army was once again conquered by Sun Jian's army and once again became his strategic stronghold for advancing to the Central Plains.

As for Jiangling City where Wu Fan is, Sun Jian didn't think he would come to attack, but he knew that the one stationed in Jiangling City was the elite army of Cao's army, the main force of the Second Legion, and the combat power was strong enough to challenge human imagination! Moreover, the number of troops was large, reaching more than 500,000 people! Such a large number of people was enough for ordinary troops, not to mention that these 500,000 people were elite.

Therefore, in Sun Jian's view, Jiangling City is really unaffected, and it is only for defense.

Sun Jian thought so and did this. The Jiangdong city adjacent to Jiangling was Chaisang, and the prefect was Sun Quan, the second descendant of Sun Jian. Sun Jian was to guard against the Chaisangbu city policy, and he should not send troops rashly no matter what the situation encountered. On the other hand, Sun Jian personally led the main force to continue to advance to the Central Plains, intending to take down Xuzhou, which he had long wanted to capture.

Time passed slowly in this endless battle, and the end of the year was approaching in seven years. Seeing that the pressure around Jiangling City was no longer as great as before, Wu Fan brought Cui Yingying, Diao Chan, and his precious daughter Wu Ying, who had been staying in Wancheng before the end of the year, and the family happily spent the New Year together.

The New Year just passed, in 198 AD, early in the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, the sky was not yet completely bright, and the streets and alleys of Jiangling City were still filled with the festive atmosphere of the New Year. The lanterns hanging in front of every household had not yet been extinguished, and the red couplets were hung with frost flowers, and crystal light flashed under the light of the lanterns.

On the night of New Year's Eve, every household is bound to welcome and send off the gods, eat New Year's Eve dinner and other activities, so that people sleep very late. At this time, not only the entire Jiangling City, but even if they look around the whole country, almost everyone is still sleeping.

So, all the people who are still sleeping have the same dream—

But in the mist, several peaks in the depths of the clouds appeared faintly. Soon, as the sight was approached, people saw a thick and winding green pine and cypress on the top of one of the peaks. Below the pine and cypress was a stone chessboard. An old man in white with a smile and a young man in red with a cold expression were playing chess on the chessboard.

These two people are naturally the legendary immortals, Nandou and Beidou, who live on the top of Lingshan.

At this time, the young man in red said with a blank expression after he fell into the market:

"As the current situation is still going on, the war continues, and many people with great ambitions emerge, which makes the world admire him. However, at present, only these ten people are among the best, with a reputation as well."

After hearing this, Beidou took back his hand that was about to make a move, and asked with interest:

"Oh? Who are the ten people?"

The north hand reached out and stroked the chessboard, and a starlight shone. The entire chessboard suddenly flipped and stood up, turning into a table. Above the table, the four big words "Ten Selected by Famous Scholars" are extremely eye-catching.

1. Wu Fan: Fame 4234, age 3o, general of cavalry, governor, first rank, belonging to Cao bsp; 2. Cao Cao: Fame 3439, age 44, Duke of Wei, belonging to Cao bsp; 3. Yuan Shao: Fame 2592, age 45, general of Zhenxi, third rank, belonging to Cao bsp; 4. Sun Jian: Fame 24o5, age 44, general of the Central Army, third rank, belonging to Sun Jian, promoted

5, Liu Yan: Famous 18o3, age 57 years old, fourth-rank provincial governor, Liu Yan, Ping

6. Zhang Liao: Famous 17o3, age 3o, general in the west, third rank, belonging to Cao bsp; 7. Lv Bu: Famous 1595, age 41, general Andong, belonging to Cao bsp; 8. Xiahou Dun: Famous 1575, age 41, general in the east, governor, third rank, belonging to Cao bsp; 9. Hua Xiong: Famous 1468, age 42, general in the south, third rank, belonging to Cao bsp; 1o, Yuan Shu: Famous 1185, age 41, general Anbei, belonging to Sun Jian, surrendered

Note: Up or down means that the rankings will rise or fall compared to last year.

Beidou: "Wu Fan is already famous all over the world."

Nandou: "Yes, yes."

Beidou: "Cao bsp; Nandou: "It's true."

Nandou: "Hey, this young man named Wu Fan works very hard. Why not give him that."

Beidou: "Well, this person's reputation has grown the fastest, so it's really time to give it to him."

Beidou: "Let's continue playing chess."

Having said that, the table disappeared intently and was still restored to a chessboard placed in front of Nandou and Beidou. At the same time, the picture of Lingshan gradually disappeared from the front of him.
