Chapter 170 The Secret of Invincibility [Subscription Request]

"Xiantai Seal, I just know it's very important."

Taoist Gan explained everything: "Zhang Jiao said that the Xiantai Seal can reveal an ancient burial site, which contains the opportunity for longevity..."

At this time, the imperial guards came in from outside the door: "Governor, all the people have been defeated and captured, and have been interrogated."

"They gathered together to deal with Yanzhou. They are usually scattered everywhere. They are all spies from Xuzhou."

"Some of them are the intelligence chiefs of Xuzhou in Yanzhou, and they hold very high positions."

"Their leader, Tao Ying, is Tao Qian's second son. Together with his other son, Tao Shang, they are in charge of all intelligence affairs in Xuzhou."

Tao Qian's second son, Tao Ying, was captured alive.

"People from Xuzhou also secretly attacked the Yu clan, captured some people, and imprisoned them at a place where Jizhou and my Yanzhou meet."

"Let Guo Jia take charge and try his best to rescue the people from the Yu family who were attacked and imprisoned." Cao Cao said.

Jia Xu had been following beside him and glanced at Gan Dao Ren:

"Perhaps we can use some means to make this Taoist become a dead spy, and then sneak back to Huang Tiandao, thus dealing a devastating blow to Huang Tiandao."

Given Zhang Jue's skills, if a large group of troops were sent to encircle and suppress the enemy at Mount Hua, it would be impossible to succeed as they would surely be discovered and evaded by the enemy in advance.

It would be a good idea to let Gan Dao go back and use his spirit to influence and control him.

But Dian Wei had already beaten the man to a pulp, his Dantian was damaged, and his function was greatly weakened.

Cao Cao thought about it and decided not to use Gan Dao Ren again.

He continued to ask, and the secrets that Gan Daoren revealed included the military deployment of Xuzhou.

Given his status and the fact that he was in Xuzhou, he naturally paid attention to these valuable news.

The deployment of defenses in prefectures and counties is top secret for any given force.

Knowing the strengths and weaknesses of Xuzhou's defense is equivalent to deploying troops based on the opponent's clear cards, which is a huge advantage.

Cao Cao and Jia Xu had a brief discussion, and then Cao Cao used the communication beads to inform Huang Zhong, who was stationed at the border of Xuzhou, about the defense of Xuzhou and ordered him to launch a surprise attack on Xuzhou.

"Where is Shi Zimiao, who is controlled by Zhang Jiao?"

"Maybe in Bingzhou."

Taoist Gan said, "Zhang Yan, the leader of the Black Mountain Army, was once one of the six Yellow Turbans. Zhang Jue wants Shi Zimiao to instigate Zhang Yan to rebel against Yanzhou and attack you at a critical moment."

Jia Xu thought this was just wishful thinking.

Zhang Yan is a person who changes his attitude according to the situation and seeks to cling to the powerful.

Zhang Yan has already climbed up the ladder of Yanzhou. If he goes crazy, he will follow Zhang Jue and rebel against Yanzhou again, thus ruining his own future.

Yanzhou currently has the ambition to swallow up the north and target the whole world.

A person like Zhang Yan who puts profit first would never work for Zhang Jiao, who hides in the dark and dares not show up in public.

Dian Wei searched Gan Daoren and found the interrogation beads and other items.

The leader of Huang Tiandao who hid behind the scenes to deal with Cao Cao this time was Gan Daoren.

"Provincial Governor, how do we deal with this Taoist?"

"kill!"

Dian Wei threw a punch.

Gan Daoren's head exploded as if pierced by a spear, and red and white blood splattered all over the ground.

When Cao Cao returned to the room, Bai Ke had woken up and was talking to Bian Mei.

In fact, both Gan Daoren and the spies from Xuzhou looked down on Bai Ke.

You should know that the brothel is the oldest underworld sect, one of the three religions and nine schools of thought.

They have their own set of survival rules and methods, and Bai Ke is not as weak as he appears.

On the contrary, prostitutes travel around the world and have the greatest chance of meeting people with bad intentions.

Over the years, they have accumulated rich experience in dealing with situations.

Before Cao Cao came, Bai Ke looked weak and powerless to resist, with the intention of showing weakness to the enemy.

Prostitutes have many secret techniques that can be used to deal with similar situations and protect themselves.

"If we didn't come, how would you save yourself?" Cao Cao asked.

Bai Ke stood up and bowed, her eyes flickering, "I do have some tricks, but that Taoist is very powerful, I'm not sure. For example, the old woman avoiding guests, the stone woman lock, the hair bun burning incense and other secret techniques.

The old woman can avoid guests at the critical moment, stimulate the qi and blood in her body, unleash her potential, and hope to escape.

But once you fight to the death, you will suffer great damage, your energy and blood will be depleted, and your face will become old. "

“Burning incense in my hair is a secret medicine that I apply to my hair.

When someone approaches me, it will work, at least putting them in a trance for a while, and then creating an illusion that... they have had sex with me."

She raised her eyebrows and glanced at Cao Cao:

"If the governor and Qingyu hadn't come, I would have risked my life to not let them succeed and use me to plot against the governor."

……

Li Bei was the city commander of Liangqiu. In the middle of the night, he received a report from his subordinates that someone had rushed into the city with a handwritten letter from the governor of Yanzhou.

He was greatly surprised. What matter required people from the governor's office to bypass him, the city lieutenant, and go directly into the city?
He got up in a panic, put on his clothes, and went to report to Liangqiu Ling Zhao Ji.

By the time the two of them arrived at the house where the accident happened, it was already dawn.

All the local officials who came from Liangqiu were stopped by Cao Cao's personal army.

The mansion was in a dilapidated state both inside and out.

Corpses were lying everywhere, and blood was everywhere.

There were also local officials and heavily armored cavalry that had never been seen before, full of murderous intent.

The combination of these scenes made Liangqiu Magistrate Zhao Ji and City Wei Officer Li Bei tremble with fear.

Such a big thing happened under their jurisdiction, but they were unaware of it, and the governor's office needed to go directly into the city to arrest the culprit.

Liangqiu magistrate Zhao Ji thought to himself: If I am held accountable for dereliction of duty, I will probably lose my head.

Li Bei, who was standing beside him, had the same idea. Both of them looked as pale as death.

"Zhao County Magistrate, my Liangqiu has been in great trouble. You are from the Zhao family, a noble family for generations, you must save me."

Zhao Ji said bitterly, "I still don't know who to ask to save me. Do you know who is leading the troops coming from the governor's mansion?"

Li Bei said, "I don't know. I only reported that the people came with the order of the governor of Yanzhou and rushed directly into the city. I dare not ask more questions about other matters. County Magistrate Zhao, you think of a solution."

Zhao Ji said dejectedly: "Let's leave it to fate. You should have heard of the methods of our governor.

Large families like the Li family, which had deep roots in Shanyang, were all subservient to him.

Even the Yuan family of Runan was uprooted.

If the governor wants to punish the two of us, who can he find to help? "

As the two were whispering, Cao Cao walked out of the mansion.

Zhao Ji was the magistrate of Liangqiu and visited Cao Cao in Changyi.

Seeing that it was Cao Cao who personally led people to Liangqiu, Zhao Ji almost fainted from fright.

The governor of the state came in person. Who in Liangqiu has violated the law of heaven and dragged me into this trouble?

"Provincial Governor!"

Zhao Ji stepped forward and said in a trembling voice, "I am the magistrate of Liangqiu. I am honored to see the governor."

"Write down the names of these corpses, their identities and backgrounds, and hand them over to my residence as soon as possible."

Judging from Cao Cao's tone, he didn't seem to be venting his anger on others. Zhao Ji breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I will personally supervise the work and will not slack off."

Cao Cao suddenly said, "Bian Rang lives in your Liangqiu."

Bian Rang was a famous scholar in Yanzhou. He repeatedly asked questions and accused Cao Cao of stealing the position of governor of Yanzhou. The more he scolded, the more excited he became.

Bian Rang is now wandering around, staying with friends and relatives.

Zhao Ji heard that Cao Cao wanted to use the power of his Zhao family's local aristocratic families, so he rushed to the front and took charge while giving way.

If Bian Rang talks nonsense again, Cao Cao will punish him, Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji said stubbornly, "I will take responsibility and will never let Bian Rang say anything nonsense again."

Cao Cao nodded slightly, and returned to Changyi with his troops.

State pastoral office.

After Yu Qing recovered from childbirth, her figure became a little plumper, but more charming, with seductive peach blossom eyes.

When Cao Cao returned to the inner house, Yu Qing was holding her little daughter and basking in the sun.

The little girl closed her big black eyes, and when she saw Cao Cao she smiled, with saliva streaming from the corners of her mouth.

She seemed to like Cao Cao very much and smiled happily every time she saw her father.

Cao Cao leaned over and kissed her little face, which was so smooth that it was unimaginable.

After chatting with Yu Qing for a while, Cao Cao came out of the inner house and came to a room in the front yard.

The room was filled with a strong smell of medicine.

A woman with a pale face was unconscious. It was Chen Ying.

She was taken over by Bian Mei to serve.

Last night, when Bian Mei was attacked, Chen Ying was right beside her and blocked a sword for Bian Mei, killing her opponent. In order to protect Bian Mei, she was stabbed in the abdomen and suffered a fatal injury.

If it weren't for Hua Tuo, Zhang Zhongjing would have died in Yanzhou.

When Cao Cao came to visit, Bian Mei was also there.

When he came out of the room and returned to the study, it was almost noon, so he began his day's affairs.

In the afternoon, Cao Cao received two special messages in succession, which made him laugh out loud.

After Yuan Shao attacked Youzhou, he devoted all his efforts to preparing powerful crossbows and other weapons, which consumed too much financial resources of Jizhou.

Recently, Yuan Shao issued a new order in Jizhou, ordering the army to go out and pick wild fruits all over the mountains.

The specialty of Jizhou and Youzhou is mulberries, and they use wild fruits to fill their stomachs.

Another piece of news was that Yuan Shu was in Yangzhou and ordered his troops to go to the Jianghuai and other rivers to block the rivers and collect river clams to serve as military rations.

Under Cao Cao's rule, Yanzhou was basically guaranteed to have enough food per capita.

The wealth under his command makes it easy to forget that it was still an era of cannibalism and chaos.

The two Yuan brothers not only came from aristocratic families, but their collaborators were also from aristocratic families.

They jointly supported Yuan Shao. Yuan Shu's fundamental purpose was for profit, to occupy more land and gain more power.

What Cao Cao saw was that Jizhou, Yangzhou, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and even the various warlords did not have a unified and clear political goal.

These people are all put together for personal gain.

Just like the Dong Zhuo faction in Liang Province before, they divided the spoils if they won and fell apart if they lost, and they seriously lacked core cohesion.

Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu believed since birth that family and country were separate.

They will never learn how powerful Cao Cao was in implementing the military farming system to socialize production and how powerful he was in concentrating resources to accomplish great things.

When Cao Cao's military talent was combined with his pooled resources and strong governing ability, he had the foundation for his invincibility.

Cao Cao suddenly felt an unprecedented determination, urgency and clarity of purpose in his pursuit of unifying the country.

And for him, new opportunities are approaching.

"Go call Wen Ruo over."

Cao Cao gave an order.

While waiting for Xun Yu, he took out the Xiantai Seal and the Emperor's Granting Map again.

From Gan Dao Ren, I learned the correct usage of the Emperor's Diagram.

It contains the imperial practice that both the First Emperor and the Yellow Emperor mastered.

Cao Cao used his spirit and soul to push the destiny and send it into the picture.
