Mu\Can\Wenxue: The fifth year of Xingping passed quietly like this, but the sixth year of Xingping that followed was not a good year for Cao Cao.
Since the defeat at the hands of the Ma family last year, they were surrounded and trapped by 400,000 Ma family troops, and they were wounded and defeated.
Hundreds of thousands of Qingzhou soldiers were abandoned in Jizhou.
In the end, even I almost became the ghost of Ma Chao's gun.
It was really...
An unprecedented defeat since Cao Cao commanded his troops.
He was so embarrassed that he couldn't hold his head up, and his vitality was hurt so much that he couldn't straighten his back.
Especially in the later stage of the negotiations, Cao Tai lost power and humiliated the country, which directly turned all the prospects into a world joke.
If possible, Cao Cao really wished that God would strike a thunderbolt and kill Ma Chao and all his Ma family troops.
Before he could recover from the trauma of the war, he encountered a natural disaster.
Perhaps the winter of the fifth year of Xingping was not too cold and the locust eggs were not frozen to death, or perhaps God intended to give everyone justice.
In July, swarms of locusts filled the Yanzhou sky with blackness, like rolling dark clouds and furious storms.
Wherever they passed, they gnawed mulberry trees, chewed grass and crops, and ate trees.
In the blink of an eye, the ground was as empty as a wild field.
Not even a millet stalk is left.
The common people were so hungry that they howled and screamed all over the land.
They helped the old and the young and fled to Sizhou, Qingzhou, and Xuzhou.
The canals were blocked by people who starved to death along the way.
Cao Cao stood on the city of Xuchang, looking at this tragic scene, and couldn't help but feel sad.
What's even more tragic is that Cao Cao is still the one who holds the emperor hostage.
Locust plagues have always been considered to be a sign of failure to cultivate virtue and governance, and the emperor should issue edicts to punish himself.
However, everyone knew that the emperor lived in the palace for a long time, and all government orders were decided by the Sikong Mansion.
Suddenly, Cao Cao was pushed to the forefront of the storm, and those old officials began to stir up rumors again.
What makes Cao Cao most intolerable is that this civil strife is only targeting him, Cao Cao.
But Cao Jingan reported that the folk customs all over the world had actually pointed to the previous example of the Ma family's fight against locusts in the Han Dynasty orthodoxy.
People suddenly discovered that the Han Dynasty orthodoxy and the Cao family's Sikong did not respond when faced with natural disasters.
Very strong measures displaced people.
As a result, for a while, the Ma family did nothing, but successfully suppressed the prestige of the Han Dynasty and enhanced its prestige.
Regarding this, Cao Cao and his staff frowned.
It was at this time that the relationship between the Cao family and the Han Dynasty indeed entered a very unfriendly point.
Last year, after Ren Jun analyzed that Liu Xie still wanted to exterminate the Cao family, Cao Cao took a cooler approach to the emperor and restricted Liu Xie's power to the deep palace.
However, the more this happened, the more opposition he encountered from the officials.
Although the resistance forces of Dong Cheng's family have been completely eradicated, there seems to be an emerging force in the court.
The most obvious thing is that Cao Cao thinks that Yang Biao, who is inextricably connected with the Ma family, is not a good person.
Cao Cao believed that his assassination had an indescribable connection with Yang Biao.
What's more, Cao Cao recently discovered that Yang Biao had been avoiding him.
Even after the locust plague occurred, he even used the excuse of illness to never go to court unless His Majesty obeyed.
There is also Kong Rong, a young man who was lucky enough to escape when Dong Cheng's faction was eliminated.
Recently, he has been posing as a loyal minister to restore the dignity of the Han Dynasty, and also claimed that this is a great mission, just like his 20th ancestor Kong Qiu diligently pursued This made Cao Cao very angry with Kong Rong, just like the revival of Zhou rites, but he couldn't take action because Kong Rong was a famous scholar in Shilin.
The main ruling force among the middle and lower classes of the Cao family was the Shilin people.
The Ma family's imperial examination won the hearts of poor scholars all over the world, and a large number of outside students worked tirelessly to flock to Chang'an, the holy land in their hearts.
On the one hand, Cao Cao also learned to reform the method of recruiting talents, and on the other hand, he also needed to use Kong Rong's name to win over the children of the gentry.
This embarrassing and infuriating reality made Cao Cao show murderous intentions towards Kong Rong from time to time in the court.
In order to frighten Kong Rong, Cao Cao also deliberately dismissed Sikong Zhang Xi and killed Zhao Yan, the Yilang who liked to make suggestions.
But when Kong Rong saw this, he even more reprimanded Cao Cao for excluding dissidents and bullying the emperor.

Regarding all this, Cao Cao was anxious on his face and filled with hatred in his heart.
Since this year, small-scale rebellions have begun to appear again in various places.
There are still signs of a resurgence of the Yellow Turban thieves in Yanzhou, and the lower class people in Xuzhou are also calling for Uncle Liu's return.
Faced with numerous crises, Cao Cao and his staff unanimously determined that a victory was necessary to stabilize the Cao family's position.
Strengthen Cao Cao's prestige and divert conflicts under his rule.
Therefore, Cao Cao set his sights on Yuan Tan in Qingzhou.
Although Cao Cao currently seems to have internal and external troubles, he is still very powerful compared to Yuan Tan.
Especially Yuan Tan, who cares about food but not fights.
After Cao Cao married his daughter to him, he even considered it as a meritorious deed that he did not send troops to Jizhou to attack Cao Cao.
Jing'an Cao repeatedly caught Yuan Tan boasting about his achievements and despising the Cao family.
False words.
Moreover, this guy is really dishonest and listens to orders rather than propaganda, so it is justifiable to attack him.
In September, Cao Cao went down and ordered Cao Ren, the general of Zhendong, and Zhang He, the general of Pingdi, to leave Mount Tai, and Xiahou Dun, the general of Zhennan, to leave Quxian.
He personally led 30,000 Qingzhou elite troops, led Cao Zhen, Cao Tai, Xiahou Shang, Li Dian and others as the central army and sent troops to Xuchang.
Cao Cao used force again, and its deterrence was still great.
Under the simultaneous attack of the three armies, Qingzhou was in panic everywhere.
Yuan Tan was originally a murderous and incompetent person.
At this time, he only had one adviser, Wang Xiu, and he never listened to advice.
Faced with Cao Cao's offensive, Yuan Tan immediately became furious and personally led an army of 50,000 to resist.
However, before facing Cao Cao's main force and encountering Cao Ren, Yuan Tan saw that the weapons of Cao's army were far superior to his own.
Two thousand tiger and leopard cavalry charged, and ten thousand infantry were killed and fled away without their helmets.
Yuan Tan couldn't figure out why he didn't even have a chance to fight, so he lost inexplicably.
After that, they had no choice but to retreat to Huang County, Donglai County, and defended the country with strong walls and clear fields.
Cao Cao's army arrived in person.
On the one hand, he ordered his soldiers to build mountains of earth, dig tunnels, and erect roofless towers and oars near the city.
They fired arrows into the city.
The arrows rained down like rain.
The soldiers who defended the city were shocked.
Generals who are accustomed to fighting will lead their troops in all directions and quickly occupy the surrounding counties.
After Yuan Tan was trapped for two months, he suddenly found that he had no way to retreat.
He became discouraged and took the wife's route.
After Cao Cao's daughter entered Cao's camp, instead of interceding on behalf of Yuan Tan, she instead gave a comprehensive account of Donglai County's military and defensive arrangements.
Knowing himself and the enemy, Cao Cao first pretended to agree to Yuan Tan's surrender, and then sent Cao Tai with 500 tiger and leopard cavalry to escort his daughter.
Return to Huang County.
Yuan Tan was overjoyed when he saw this.
He held a banquet and had a drink with Cao Tai.
Cao Tai immediately poured Yuan Tan over and tied him up.
Afterwards, he pretended to open the city gate to lure Cao's army into the city, and Qingzhou was pacified.
This battle can be said to be the only bright spot of the year.
Cao Cao once again used his genius-like fighting ability to let the world see clearly who the traitor they despised the most in their hearts was, which greatly shocked the people in the court who only He would talk loudly about the eagerness of scholar-bureaucrats.
However, the war that destroyed Yuan Zhinian was probably too strange and vast, so that the already somewhat numb world did not have much feeling about this war.
Everyone felt that this year, if the two talented young men from the North Ma Chao and South Sun Ce did not take action, there seemed to be no worthy battles in the world.
Isn't the result of Cao Cao's attack on Yuan Tan already doomed?
What?
I’ve been fighting for more than three months.

The level is so stinky, it should be done in a month In this way, amidst the regrets of the world, the sixth year of Xingping passed quietly.
As for the Ma family and Sun Ce, who had high hopes for them, they had always been quiet.
It wasn't until after the Spring Festival that another piece of news suddenly broke out, giving the dull world something to talk about after dinner: Zhou Yu, the young overlord and beautiful young master from Jiangdong, wanted to marry the second daughter of Qiao Guolao.
After the news reached Chang'an, Ma Chao suddenly raised his head from government affairs and asked Diao Chan: "I remember you said at the beginning that Li Junyou was either Mi Ning or Da Qiao."
Diao Chan was also stunned, but then her face returned to calmness, and Youyou said: "It seems that what is supposed to come will come.
Yes, that Da Qiao should be undoubtedly the little lover Li Junyou you longed for in your previous life.
