Cao Cao also had some tests on the reward of Yunshan. In Cao Pi's memorial and school affairs, Yunshan did not seek fame and fortune, but was fully withdrawn for the country. It would be a pity that such loyal ministers were not very useful.

The War in Hanzhong is very important. Considering the many entanglements on the road, it can be said that it is a dragon's pond and tiger's den, and it needs to be handed over to Yunshan for disposal.

Cao Cao no longer hesitated and immediately enthroned Yunshan as the prefect of Hanzhong. He immediately sent troops to attack Zhang Lu.

Guan Ping's lonely army was enough to share the pressure of the main force of Cao's army. Xiahou Yuan and others also set out from Chang'an to give Zhang Lu a surprise.

Everything was ready, Cao Cao sat down slowly, looking at the swaying candlelight in front of him, and a rare smile appeared on his face.

I must win this battle!

"Mr. Yuanzhi, I must save me this time, I must save me!"

Xu Du, Xu Shu's house was closed, and Xu Shu said he would not open the door, and let Chang Diao cry outside and shouted desperately.

No one would believe that Chang Diao, the excellent official of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the school chief who was in charge of countless spies in the world, looked like this, and kept calling in front of Xu Shu's house, asking Xu Shu to open the door to help him.

Xu Shu sighed through the door and said leisurely:

"Judge Chang should ask Gao Ming. To be honest, with the ability of Chang Junshi, Xu is no longer able to dispatch it. Military Secretary Chang's ability is far above Xu. Apart from admiration, Xu really can't say anything. Please ask Military Secretary Chang to ask for his own blessing."

Xu Shu had never thought of occupying Wancheng before.

After all, Yu Jin is the leader of the five sons of Cao's army. Even if he doesn't have many troops under his command, Huo Jun can't defeat him in a hurry. If Guan Ping mobilized a large army to attack, he would most likely reveal his identity.

Unexpectedly, Yu Jin underestimated the enemy and occupied Wancheng by Huo Jun. Later, Yu Jin made a fatal mistake in judgment. He thought that the loss of Wancheng was a collusion between Chang Diao and Huo Jun inside and outside, so he did not attack and regain Wancheng as soon as possible, resulting in Huo Jun being able to deploy reorganization again, and his morale was greatly boosted. When it came to the main force of the Guanping army, he captured the famous general in one fell swoop in the heavy rain.

What made Xu Shu even more incredible was that Chang Diao himself advocated framed Chen Qun, and after framed Chen Qun, he rushed to Xiangyang for more than ten days to persuade Chen Qun to make peace with Yunshan.

This inconsistent action can certainly show that the general situation of the military officer Chang is able to understand the general and take the overall situation into consideration. He can not only discover problems but also temporarily calm them down. His skills and vision are quite good.

Cao Cao thought about it before and after that, he gave Chang Diao the Marquis of Guannei, allowing him to go deep into Yongliang and dominate the military situation there.

In order to urge Chang Diao to carry out his work well, Cao Cao this time sent Chang Diao's old superior, Cao Ren, who had the kindness of knowing him, to act as General Anxi and governor Chang Diao's actions.

The most terrifying thing is that when Chang Diao was not yet a military advisor, he had randomly composed some people from all directions to rebel. Although most of them had not moved yet, the rebellion of the two Huaihe Rivers was just in the list of Chang Diao's rebellions. There were also warlords such as Ma Chao, Han Sui, Yang Qiu, Liang Xing. Cao Cao was of course worried. He must let Chang Diao mobilize his subordinates to invade the forces within the enemy, strive to specifically find out the strategies of Ma Chao and others, and formulate a plan to deal with them.

This scared Chang Diao to death - he offended the Yingchuan family and could die suddenly at any time. If he went to Liangzhou to offend Ma Chao...

"Mr. Yuanzhi, you can't sit idly by. At that time, you asked me to make a record of the game, and said that the better you made the game, the more you could get Cao Cheng's trust.

Now Prime Minister Cao wants me to die, you must save my life.”

Xu Shu sighed, could only open the door slowly, and said with a blank expression:

"I taught you something, why do you always make random claims? Are you here to blame me now?"

According to Xu Shu's ideas, Chang Diaohu made up a bunch of intelligence. Even if there were a few accurate ones, the suspicious Cao Cao would not be fully trusted. At most, he would give him some authority to continuously form reliable school affairs to continuously strengthen the accuracy of intelligence.

But Chang Diao's performance was really outstanding. During Yu Jin's incident, he guessed that Huo Jun was going to attack the city. Later, he guessed that Chen Qun wanted to rebel and could persuade Yunshan to make peace with Chen Qun while giving enough face to the Yingchuan clan. This was something that even Cao Cao could not do. Zhao Yan repeatedly expressed his shame, saying that if there were any matters that needed to reconcile the generals in the future, he would leave them to Chang Junzhi to handle, which would be better than him.

Chang Diao just wanted to show off at that time, but he didn't care about so many things. He was completely confused now. Yong Liang was temporarily under the rule of Cao's army. If he was forced to go there, when Ma Chao and Han Sui really wanted to rebel, he would definitely drag him over and take the lead.

"Wuwuwu, Mr. Yuanzhi must save me. I... I am the strong minister who supports the Han Dynasty. I am willing to sacrifice my life for the Han Dynasty, but I don't want to do it for Prime Minister Cao, no, I don't want to sacrifice my life for the Cao thief.

I am all about maintaining my usefulness to serve the great Han Dynasty. Mr. Yuanzhi will save me for the sake of the ancestors of the great Han Dynasty!”

When he was in Wancheng, he always thought about how to cut off dangerous people like Xu Shu, but he didn't expect that Cao Cao would trust him so much. Xu Shu had no choice but to ask the only adviser he knew with a very high IQ to find a way for him.

He knew Xu Shu's character deeply and knew that this person was in Cao's camp and was in the heart of the Han Dynasty. As long as he said that he was for the Han Dynasty, he would definitely be willing to find a way for himself.

Sure enough, Xu Shu looked helplessly at the beggar and sighed:

“I’ll give you an idea for the last time.

But the ugly words are ahead. If you make trouble at will, don’t blame me if you die.”

Chang Diao nodded quickly and choked:

"Mr. Yuanzhi, don't worry, I will do exactly what you said this time. Even if the sky falls and the earth falls, even if the sword and axe are added, I will never, never change it."

"Okay." Xu Shu nodded, "This time the Cao bandits used troops, Ma Chao and others would think that they wanted to attack Guo by pretending to attack Guo without sayings. Even if they did not attack Guo, the Cao bandits occupied Hanzhong and would threaten their rule in the future, and they would rebel at that time."

"You first report this to Cao Cao, and then deliberately stop in Tongguan, saying that Ma Chao's spy has sneaked into Tongguan. You can naturally help Cao Ren guard Tongguan at that time. Do you have to go to Yongliang to take risks?"

"Ah? Yes, yes..." Chang Diao was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but tremble all over, "You're right, you're right, why didn't I think of it before? Yes!"

Chang Diao deeply regrets why he forgot this? Ma Chao is most likely to rebel. This will prove that he has foresight and save his life. Why not do it?

"But, but if this happens, if Ma Chao really wants to rebel, wouldn't it be a confirmation that I am very capable? Cao Cheng, ah, Cao thief wants to increase my position and get me promoted. What should I do if I do something difficult and dangerous in the future?"

Xu Shu gave him a blank look:

"Have you never heard of what it means to reconcile merits and demerits?

If you predict that Ma Chao's affairs will be accomplished, but if you don't want to make progress in Tongguan and cause a big disaster, Cao Thief will be furious.

With Cao Ren as his protection, at most you will be exempted from your official title. Can you still kill you with one knife?"

"Yes." Chang Diao looked happy and nodded repeatedly, saying embarrassedly, "It's better Mr. Yuanzhi to be nice to me."

Xu Shu sighed with regret. He was too lazy to continue to guide Chang Diao, a piece of mud that could not be supported on the wall. At least he met him and let him go home safely.

After several months of sufficient preparation, after the autumn harvest began, Xiahou Yuan was ordered to leave Guanzhong as his first troops and go to Hanzhong by way of passage.

In addition, General Pingnan, the prefect of Hanzhong, Yunshan, also led the governor to lead the navy to prepare to go upstream and head towards Hanzhong.

According to the consistent principle of Cao's army, there were only 7,000 troops in the account, at most 7,000 to 8,000, but Yunshan, which had less than 10,000 naval troops in the account, actually pulled out nearly 1,000 warships of all sizes and sizes and nearly 30,000 naval troops.

It was not until this time that everyone realized that Yunshan's strength had expanded to this point.

He was in the corps of Le Jin for a long time, and after a large amount of land in Jiangxia, Jiangling and Xianshan became his private property. He had countless soldiers and his family members. The convenient and smooth trade before also provided him with a large amount of military supplies and weapons. All the soldiers were strong and well-equipped top warriors. If the Cao army had such a naval army during the Battle of Red Cliff, would Sun and Liu be the opponent?

"The general actually used his family wealth to recruit troops to go on an expedition..." Sima Fu was moved to tears as he looked at it.

He knew best how much Yunshan had. This time, in order to expedition to Hanzhong, Yunshan actually took out 90% of his net worth. He was really worried about national affairs and would succeed if he failed.

Cao Zhi was also excited to see it and said loudly:

"General, I, Cao Zhi, must go to war with you this time! No matter what Nan Zhonglang general or Confessionate, I will do nothing. I am willing to give a pen to the general's tent, please help me."

Cao Pi also trembled slowly as he looked at the spectacular scene and nodded constantly.

Although Yunshan has various shortcomings, he has a pure heart who is loyal to serving the country. He is willing to destroy his family and relieve his difficulties and serve the court with the wealth he has accumulated.

Such a person is not a loyal minister. Who else in the world is a loyal minister?

Even though Cao Pi was cold and frivolous, he still couldn't help but cry like rain. He held Guan Ping's hand and said excitedly:

"Full it, take care of yourself. Don't let my sister stay widow before she even crossed the door."

Only then did Guan Ping remember that he was Cao Pi's brother-in-law and couldn't help but smile:

"The Prime Minister asked me to prepare a betrothal gift before, but I was poor in Yunshan, so how could I get so many betrothal gifts?

This time I tried my best and wanted to hire Hanzhong, and I asked the young master to fulfill it."

Chen Qun almost vomited out the absurd scene, and he hugged his arms and sneered, and said in a cold voice:

"General Yun is invincible, and Chen Qun is waiting for the general's wedding banquet."

Yunshan laughed loudly, bid farewell to everyone, and rushed to the bow of the boat.

Looking at the mountains on both sides and the clear water at the feet, Guan Ping was in a state of great emotion and couldn't help laughing.

He achieved great success in Jingzhou. The Han Dynasty had firmly stood firm in Jingzhou and became an important base for the Northern Expedition.

Now, he finally wants to change his target. Hanzhong was the starting point for Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang. Now, he is going to regain this land for the Han Dynasty.
