Chapter 147: One in a million, the world is divided [Subscribe]

The sky is full of stars.

The inner residence of the governor's mansion is an independent courtyard.

Bian Mei came back from the meeting, took a bath and returned to the bedroom, and took out a small wooden box from her clothing compartment.

When I opened it, I found some special clothes inside the box.

She was born into a family of prostitutes and learned the nine ways of prostitution, including the art of singing and dancing, from a young age.

Although she has no practical experience, she knows everything and even possesses secret techniques, and is proficient in how to please the people she wants to please and seduce.

Bian Mei took out a piece of thin brocade from the box.

It feels like nothing when you touch it, and is as light as a cicada's wing.

This was a set of shirt and dress that served as an inner lining. Bian Mei put the thin brocade on with a blushing face.

Then put on the shirt and skirt.

I also chose silk shoes with water cloud patterns.

The pair of jade-white little feet stepped into the shoes, showing the slender and graceful curves of the feet.

A thin silver anklet was added to the ankle.

There are pendants shaped like jade bells hanging on both sides. When you take a step, they will swing from side to side and make a slight sound.

The anklet and anklet complement each other nicely, giving it a special kind of allure.

Bian Mei's feet are small, and her pink toes are painted with red ruby ​​made from juice squeezed from flower petals. The bright red color forms a sharp contrast with her fair feet.

When Cao Cao came over, Bian Mei was leaning on the couch, sorting out a scroll of books.

That was the information collected from various places by the Qingbi clerks under her jurisdiction. She had nothing to do late at night, so she sorted it out and checked it.

Cao Cao's eyes lit up.

"If the governor wants to see Ye Mei Qian Jiao, Qingyu can dance for you..." Bian Mei stood up to greet her.

Cao Cao noticed the beautiful shoes hidden under her skirt, with the ankle bells on both sides swaying slightly. Her charm lies in the details.

"You are tempting me."

"No..."

Bian Mei's voice suddenly turned into a low cry, and Cao Cao reached out and pulled her over, walking towards the couch.

She dressed up carefully, knowing what would happen tonight. She buried her face in Cao Cao's broad chest and said in a soft voice: "Mr. Zhou..."

Before he finished speaking, the lights in the hall went out.

This time, Bian Mei put what she had learned into practice and let Cao Cao watch the real Night Charms Dance, which was unpredictable.

...

The night is passing.

Bian Mei lay on the couch, like a flower blown by a storm, still alive but unable to stand up for a while.

"How?" asked Cao Cao.

Bian Mei said nothing.

Cao Cao was very satisfied.

He is a master of singing and dancing, and his reputation is well-deserved.

[Bian Mei, one of the three famous concubines, has mastered the art of prostitution and is proficient in the art of seduction. She possesses two unique bodies, the rain curtain and the enchantress; you should have experienced this.]

I don’t understand what this means... Cao Cao said that he didn’t quite understand the hint about the entry.

Bian Mei said softly, "We, the Qingbi Li, have taken refuge with the governor of the state. The mistress sent a message saying that she wanted to see the master.

She wants to come and see the governor, is that okay?"

"It's not appropriate to call him governor, just like you did just now."

Bian Mei said shyly, "Husband."

"That's not it."

“…” Bian Mei ignored him.

"When will your mistress come?"

"It's not far away. I'll send her a message and she'll be there in a few days."

Bian Mei stretched out her white little hand, placed it in front of Cao Cao, said a few words, and then fell asleep tiredly.

early morning.

Cao Cao came to Diao Chan's courtyard, and Yin got up to open the door.

The girl didn't sleep either.

Diao Chan was still as beautiful as ever. When she saw Cao Cao, her thick eyelashes trembled slightly and her eyes were full of joy, which was beyond description.

"Why did the governor come just now?"

Diao Chan waited until the early morning without falling asleep. She looked outside several times, her neck stretched out.

She stepped forward and helped Cao Cao take off his coat, her little face flushed.

"I have so much to do that I have some free time."

Cao Cao rushed to three places in one night and was indeed very busy.

"My adoptive father's family sent many things from Taiyuan to me and the governor..."

Diao Chan went to Cao Cao to ask whether she should accept the thing. Because it was too valuable, she did not want to accept it without permission for fear of putting Cao Cao in a difficult position.

Wang's people are still in Changyi, waiting to meet Cao Cao.

"Just keep the things as they come. It's no problem."

Cao Cao embraced the beauty and lay down on the couch.

Diao Chan had a lot to say, but Boss Cao was really working hard, so he fell asleep after saying a few words.

Diao Chan snuggled up to him and watched him fall asleep.

The next morning, Cao Cao was still in the office.

Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Xun Yu, and Xi Zhicai gathered together to discuss the matter.

"According to the news this morning, Grand Tutor Yuan has mobilized the resources controlled by the Yuan family. Among them, a batch of military equipment will be sent to Jizhou where Yuan Shao is located via the northern route. There is also a large amount of food and other supplies."

"If we take the northern route, that's the supplies that Yuan Taifu stored in his early years to support Dong Zhuo's troops."

"I defeated Yuan Shu in Yanzhou and occupied Yuzhou. Yuan Taifu is really anxious this time."

"He has thought it through. With the resources and reputation of the Yuan family, and the accumulation of three officials from four generations, he should use them properly to support Yuan Shao. He should send him food and supplies to help him grow rapidly. That is the fundamental thing."

"He has tried many tricks to scheme against the governor, but all of them failed. He finally saw things clearly."

Xun Yu, Jia Xu, Xi Zhicai, and Guo Jia spoke in turn.

Jia Xu also shared another piece of news: "Teacher Yuan has also requested an imperial decree to appoint a new governor of Yuzhou named Han Shuo, who is on his way to Yuzhou to take up his post."

"How do you think we should deal with this?" "Same as last time."

Last time, Jin Shang was appointed as the governor of Yanzhou to seize Cao Cao's position, but he was killed by horse thieves.

Don't ask, the answer is we don't know where these horse thieves came from.

But if the court appoints a governor of Yuzhou to rob Yuzhou, horse bandits will still appear.

The "horse bandits" that Cao Cao is currently supporting are very powerful. In addition to Zhang Dakuo's team of more than a thousand people, there are more than 200,000 Black Mountain bandits under Zhang Yan of Bingzhou.

After a few words, the topic turned back to their own camp.

Yanzhou’s top priority now is internal military expansion.

From the outside, the power was gradually extended to Yuzhou, and the Black Mountain Army was fully utilized to penetrate into Bingzhou, and even to make early arrangements for the Hexi Corridor.

Zhao Zilong, as well as generals Zhang Liao, Huang Zhong and others who were stationed outside and had not yet returned, were all very concerned about the expansion of the army.

Several people participated in person, communicated with each other, and selected elite soldiers to expand the army.

As each military unit expanded, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry was given priority and had the most stringent selection process.

Zhao Yun was personally responsible for selecting the soldiers.

Dian Wei and Xu Chu also often took turns to check on the place.

"The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry plans to expand to 5,000 troops. The original 3,000 troops were reduced in number after the fierce battles with Yuan Shu and the Southern Xiongnu.

It is estimated that 2,300 people will be selected this time to make up the number of 5,000.

The new soldiers are mainly used to form the Tiger Guards. Seventeen people have passed the preliminary selection! "Zhao Yun came to Cao Cao to report the number.

"How many?"

Today, Cao Ying has over 100,000 soldiers under his direct command, and over 300,000 soldiers available for selection. How can he select 17 qualified soldiers?
Then it's more than just one in ten thousand, but only one in twenty or thirty thousand.

"Wenyuan, Hansheng and I have communicated with each other, and we all agree that the standards for the most elite troops should be raised. The selection criterion is that they must be able to withstand a single shot from me without being defeated." Zhao Yun said.

In other words, any one of the selected soldiers must be able to fight against Zhao Yun and Dian Wei of the same level.

You have to know that any inferior general may not be able to withstand the attack from Dian Wei and Zhao Yun.

When they were trying to stop Yuan Shu before, the Lei brothers were killed by Dian Wei and Xu Chu, each of whom launched a strike!
Of course, the situation at that time was somewhat special.

However, one must at least be close to the level of the Lei brothers in order to be selected into the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and become a soldier.

"With your method of selection, you may not be able to select 2,000 people even in three to five years." Guo Jia said on the side.

"The governor said that he wanted to build the most elite troops in the world. If we can form such an army, it can be called a strong army that can sweep across all directions." Zhao Yun said.

Cao Cao also became interested and followed him to the outskirts of the city to check out the selection of soldiers.

The soldiers sent from various places began to be screened when Cao Cao was still in Qiao County, and the selected people gathered in Changyi.

Cao Cao climbed to the top of the city wall and looked outside.

There are at least 20,000 to 30,000 elite soldiers selected from all over the country, waiting for re-selection.

Even if these people failed to be selected for the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, they would be incorporated into the newly expanded army and take charge of the defense of Yuzhou.

On the other side, in the newly built Changyi Barracks, the Yanzhou guards were training.

Cao Cao climbed up the city wall and looked into the distance. He saw blood boiling and smoke rising in all directions.

If you listen carefully, there seems to be a light sound of metallic vibration between heaven and earth.

That was a force gathered from thousands of troops in Cao's camp, connecting the energy of heaven and earth and forming fluctuations.

Looking from the top of the city wall, spears and swords formed a forest, and black armor shone in the sunlight.

Not only Cao Cao was watching, but those who traveled to and from Changyi could also see Cao's troops and horses marching in all directions.

Cao's army was openly showing off its military power.

"Provincial Governor, Bian Qingyu brought back the group of craftsmen from Bingzhou and formed a team to visit us, specifically to prepare various types of equipment."

Xi Zhicai followed behind Cao Cao and said, "They sent us several patterns of heavy cavalry armor. The governor has to personally select one before we can start making it."

Heavy cavalry armor.

Cao Cao was slightly moved. Could he make the Ming Guang Armor of the prosperous Tang Dynasty?

Or a type of soldier like the Tiefutu, wearing helmets and with terrifying deterrence?
I just don't know whether the current level of craftsmanship can produce the style I imagine.

Cao Ying currently has sufficient financial resources and does not have to worry about spending.

[Yu has chosen a location for you to build a horse farm, near Daye Lake in Yanzhou]

[By uniting with the Xun family and other noble families, you have gained a new source of horses, a total of 5,324 good horses, which are the harvest of your alliance with various noble families this time]

[These war horses are continuously pouring into Cao’s camp]

[Go to the newly built horse farm and you will find unexpected surprises]

Cao Cao has read the entry's hint.

As Cao's camp's power continued to grow, the situation in the world was also changing.

Liu Biao of Jingzhou took advantage of Yuan Shu's defeat by Cao Cao to advance northward from Xiangyang and occupy Nanyang County, the richest county in the world.

His capture of Nanyang was almost like picking it up for free; he took advantage of an opportunity and invaded without losing a single soldier.

Cao Cao reclaimed wasteland and he ate the fruit.

Liu Biao was overjoyed, and after taking Nanyang, he also increased his troops and expanded his army.

Further west of Liu Biao's Jingzhou is Yizhou, which was known as the Bashu area in later generations.

At this time, the governor of Yizhou was still Liu Yan, who was from the royal family, not his son Liu Zhang.

The situation around Yizhou is also complicated.

Going north from Yizhou is Hanzhong. Zhang Lu, who later became known as the leader of Hanzhong and had a high status in Taoism, had just joined Liu Yan's army and had not yet shown his talent.

To the north of Yizhou, there was already chaos and war.

Ma Teng, who was under the command of Zhong Shao, the governor of Liangzhou, and Han Sui secretly formed an alliance and frequently fought with the surrounding Qiang, Di and other foreign tribes. They were also fighting for power internally. The head of Liangzhou was about to be replaced.

In the north, Gongsun Zan controlled Youzhou, and further east, Gongsun Du controlled Liaodong.

The situation in various places was initially divided, some were fighting and some were preparing for war. The world was like a big bow, slowly pulled open, ready to shoot out at any time, and a fierce battle would break out.

Cao Cao was stationed in Changyi, receiving and sending secret reports from all parties.

Chang'an, where the emperor is located, is also facing a major change.

With the influx of Yuan family resources, Yuan Shao of Jizhou entered a stage of rapid expansion.

In April, he once again pursued Gongsun Zan who had retreated to Youzhou, and sent troops to seize the northern part of Qingzhou.

At the end of the month, after days of busy work, Cao Cao led his wives and concubines and family members to Daye Lake in the central area of ​​Yanzhou, preparing to visit the newly built horse farm.

By the way, I went to Onozawa for a walk and took care of the pregnant woman's desire to go out.

At the same time, at night in Cao's house in Qiao County, a Taoist priest appeared on the roof like a ghost.

His face is easygoing, but his eyes are cold.
