Chapter 491
The leisurely days passed quickly, Cao Cao took a few years to unify the Central Plains and was about to go to war with Yuan Shao, the northern hegemon.
Yuan Shao and Cao Cao moved to the Battle of Guandu, but because of Li Linfei, Cao Cao was not worse than Yuan Shao in terms of who won and who lost.
Shortly after this, several military masters came.
Jia spoke first, "My Lord, news came from the black-clad guards that Yuan Benchu, unable to defeat Cao Cao, had lost his heart and introduced the five great tribes of Xiongnu, Xianbei, Capricorn, Qiang and Diao, and promised them that as long as they helped him unify the world, they would enfeoff their territories to them, and any population as well as money and grain they grabbed would be these Hu people's."
Li Linfei was stunned, he hadn't looked at the system for a long time, how come the Five Hu rebellions had come forward.
"Damned old dog Yuan Shao! How fucking crazy, I'll kill ten of your clans! " Li Lin~Fei said with great anger.
According to their plan, when Cao Cao and Yuan Shao fought the battle of Guandu, they also attacked westward to capture Yizhou, and if possible, attack Xiliang, but they didn't expect the damned Yuan Shao to enter the Hu people into the pass!
. "My lord, according to the news from the black-clad guards, Cao Cao wants to see you." Jia said.
"Where is it? " Li Linfei asked.
"Luoyang."
Li Linfei was sure that Cao Cao had come to ask for help, not to mention that he had defeated Yuan Shao,, but his own strength had been damaged, and after Yuan Shao had come to such an end, his pressure had increased.
He still knew Cao Cao very well, although he was a lord, his national ethos was not in question at all, Li Linfei was not worried in the slightest that Cao Cao's stance would be problematic, whether it was the Cao Mengde he knew or the historical Cao Prime Minister, he was a man with a sense of nationality!
If Cao Cao came to him for help against the Hu and Yuan Shao, then Li Lin~fei would not refuse, it was a matter of principle!
The next day, Li Linfei immediately left for Luoyang.
A few days later, he met Cao Cao at his residence in Luoyang.
Meng Dejun had been waiting here for a long time, and there was a young man in his twenties present besides him, who looked a bit gloomy, and at a glance he knew that he was a man of great depth.
"Long time no see brother Mengde!" Li Linfei took the lead and bowed to Cao Cao.
"Xiandi Linfei." Cao Cao hurriedly returned the salute to Li Linfei, while introducing Cao Pi to Li Linfei: "This is Zi Huan."
"Pi has met Uncle Shi." Cao Pi hurriedly bowed to Li Linfei.
Li Linfei looked at Cao Pi and then followed Cao Cao inside.
Cao Cao led Li Linfei to the room and poured him the wine he had warmed up earlier.
"We haven't seen each other for seven years after the farewell in Luoyang back then, have we?!"
"Yes!" Li Linfei nodded his head.
"You haven't changed at all, but I'm getting old." Cao Cao said as he looked at Li Linfei with a slight tinge of envy and jealousy.
"Alas, does Lin Fei still remember what we volunteered for back then." After the two of them had caught up on personal matters for a while, Cao Cao suddenly spoke up.
"General of the Great Han Expedition to the West!" A rare solemn look appeared on Li Linfei's face.
"Yes!" Meng Dejun nodded, and then revealed a bitter smile
"But is the Great Han still around now?"
"The Great Han may not be there, but the Han must exist!" Li Linfei said gravely, he knew what Cao Cao was referring to, but Li Linfei had little affection for the late emperors of the Liu family, if those emperors had been reliable, how would the world have become what it is now.
"The Great Han may be absent, the Han must exist." After Cao Cao had left Li Linfei's words in his mouth twice, a brilliant light appeared in his eyes.
"Worthy of my Lin Fei's virtuous brother!"
Chapter 492
At this point the system's voice sounded.
System random task.
Stop the Five Hu rebellious Chinese.
Mission completed: 5,000,000 mission points!
Mission Failure: Divine Hero Points to zero
Sooooo! It's better to do something that benefits the country and the people quickly.
The ringing sound directly shocked Li Linfei into staggering, this you, sister reward was just too tempting.
The reward for this mission would just be too big! Five million mission points! In all the missions he had done he had never come across such a large amount of mission points!
He instantly felt that after being a good person in so many worlds and doing so many missions, he might as well save the Han people once.
Cao Cao gave Li Linfei a deep look, "If I die, the Han people will all have to rely on Xiandi Linfei."
"I will probably need a few more months to prepare, but I can guarantee that as long as I am still here, the Han people will not die!" Li Linfei nodded his head and said.
"After this battle I guess the world will no longer be the Han's. If old brother Lin Fei is able to take over the world, I hope that the people will be treated well then."
Soon Cao Cao shook his head, "I still don't need to think of the people for you."
Li Linfei nodded, his team of wise men were many, in addition . Add to this his two thousand year old mobile knowledge base, even if Zhuge Liang came, he would only be able to kneel.
"There is also the Cao family as well as the Xiahou family, I hope that Xiandi Linfei can look after them for my sake."
Li Linfei nodded, he had already heard that Meng Dejun already had a death wish in his heart, he was not at ease with his family and therefore hoped to be able to ask his friend to look after them.
"In fact if you are able to TO, in the first half of the year, I will be able to prepare."
Meng Dejun shook his head with a determined expression on his face and said, "Xiandi Lin Fei, you don't understand, I have been friends with Yuan Benchu since I was a child, I can say he is my best friend apart from you, yet he has done such a thing, as a friend, I want to defeat him myself! I will take Zihuan with me, the other children are still young, I still hope that Xiandi Linfei can take care of them for a while."
Li Linfei knew that this was Meng Dejun's decision that could not be changed, and did not persuade him further. If he had used delaying tactics, half a year would not have been a problem at all, after all, cavalry could not be used to attack a city!
Only what he hadn't thought of before was that Cao Cao was going to take Cao Pi to fight Yuan Shao and leave all his other sons to themselves. He looked thoughtfully at Cao Pi at one side and saw him nodding at him, perhaps old Cao had known his son's ambition a long time ago!
Fearing that the Cao clan would bring trouble to himself under Cao Bu, this consideration was of course not entirely because it was a desire to save Li Linfei some effort.
The most important thing is that by removing one of the most ambitious Cao Pi, what remains is a group of unambitious ones.
Li Linfei would not bother to suspect them, but would instead give more care to the Cao family as well as the Xiahou family, which was exactly what Cao Cao had in mind.
Li Linfei did not point it out, perhaps Cao Pi also understood the same and did not say it, it would not be nice to say such things, although Cao Pi was an ambitious man, but in this case he also chose to sacrifice himself to preserve his family!
The two men drank a lot more wine and told interesting stories about their time - up in Luoyang, and then Cao Cao asked Li Linfei to give him a good tribute that could be passed down through the ages later.
Cao Cao said that Li Linfei's literary skills were the best he had ever seen, even Chen Qun was no match for him, which made Li Linfei sweat, he knew how much weight he had, if he really let himself write the eulogy, what he wrote would definitely make Cao Cao rise from his coffin, but fortunately he had the almighty system.
After meeting Cao Cao, Li Linfei returned to Yangzhou. Yuan Shu had long since been destroyed by Cao Cao and Li Linfei, and with the collaboration of the two, a steady stream of people from the Central Plains entered Li Linfei's territory.
Cao Cao went so far as to break into the palace and kill Emperor Liu Xie, who was enthroned and renamed Wei Wu Di, while personally confronting Yuan Shao's army of 300,000, which shook the world.
It seems that Cao Cao pinned all his hopes on Li Linfei, and also hoped that he would be able to look after his own family. He knew that Li Linfei was going to stand on his own behalf for Han in the future, so he pre-empted him to do so.
This would have a great impact on his own military, but it would be of great benefit to Li Linfei. When he died, there would be no more emperor in the world, and it would be a matter of right and proper for Li Linfei to take that position.
Meng Dejun wanted to exchange this for Li Linfei's care for his family. He did not say this before, but it was an unspoken matter that he believed Li Linfei would understand.
Chapter 493
Just as Li Linfei was marshalling his troops, news arrived from Liu Bei.
With Li Linfei's strength he could have left him out of the picture a long time ago, but for this shameless big-eared thief who cared a lot, this was a small force that could not be beaten to death.
Because Cao Cao was reminded by Li Linfei that his old man did not die in Xuzhou, he did not have a Xuzhou massacre either, and it became much harder for the virtuous Liu Huang Shu to get Xuzhou.
In the end Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou and Liu Bei ended up nowhere, no one knew where he had gone. Now that there was finally information about him, Li Linfei naturally wanted to explore a bit.
At first Li Linfei was stunned that Liu Bei had gone to Yuan Shao, as he had expected.
But he also knew that Li Linfei didn't like him, and since Cao Cao and Li Linfei shared the same stench, the only way to have a chance was to defect to Yuan Shao!
For Liu Bei, all allies are for sale, and enemies can always be turned into friends.
It seems that Cao Cao is in trouble.
After returning to Yangzhou, Li Linfei immediately asked Huang Zhong to lead 100,000 troops to fight in Yizhou, which was now paper-thin to Li Linfei after more than ten years of infiltration by the Black Guards.
Three months later, the battle of Guandu between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao was in full swing, while Li Linfei had already taken Yizhou under his wing.
A total of nearly half a million troops had been assembled in these three months and were riding on the Nanyang, with all but the necessary guards in the four states moved to the Nanyang front in preparation for the expedition.
Finally after another month, the army was assembled, and then Li Linfei led the army north to Guandu.
After recovering the cities and towns along the way, Li Linfei decided that it was too slow and led 30,000 cavalry across the Yellow River, plunging straight into Yecheng, ready to strike at the Yellow Dragon.
The city of Yecheng was very large, and with a garrison of 40,000 to 50,000, Li Linfei's 30,000 cavalry could not attack the city, so he did what Cao Cao had done in history to break Yecheng, and dug up the Zhang water.
But they were discovered, and coming to stop them were the three Liu Bei brothers.
"Li Linfei!" Zhang Fei exclaimed, back in the year when Li Linfei fought with Lu Bu at the Tiger Prison Pass, Zhang Fei had seen it with his own eyes, he still admired Li Linfei's strength to the core, he didn't expect him to come here!
"Zhang Yide."
"Li Linfei, I know you are a good man, but if you want to dig through the Zhang water, you will have to ask me, Old Zhang, about the spear in my hand."
That's what Zhang Fei said, but he didn't go forward either, he also knew Li Lin~fei's strength and that he was no match for him.
At that moment Li Linfei saw a young man standing with Liu Bei - - and Li Linfei guessed that he must be Zhuge Liang.
And Zhuge Liang didn't expect Li Linfei to come here, this was one of the biggest vassals in the whole world! He dared to come, and Zhuge Liang was full of puzzlement at this.
"You are Zhuge Liang, you look like a man!" After a long time Li Linfei's mouth spat out these words.
Zhuge Liang was not a brain, he could hear Li Linfei's sarcasm, "Human-looking? That's not calling himself a beast!
Zhuge Liang was still young after all, and when he saw Li Linfei talking about himself like that, his mind immediately changed.
Among the vassals he was most optimistic about Li Linfei, because he could see that Li Linfei had actually been laying out his plans a long time ago, and the whole south had become very stable under Li Linfei's rule, coupled with the population policy, and the development of commerce and agriculture.
Today Li Linfei could be said to be the richest, most well-fed and most powerful vassal today, but Zhuge Liang was not going to defect to Li Linfei just because he had his eye on him.
After all, he had too many brilliant strategists under his command, men who were not inferior to himself.
Even if he went out and defected to Li Linfei, he would not be able to gain a great deal of power. He was a man who was not willing to be lonely, and he made his reputation known and then got Liu Bei to invite him with three visits to his cottage.
Zhuge Liang had been keeping an eye on Li Linfei, of all the people in the world he knew a lot about him and knew his methods!
"Assassin Li, this is not your ruling place, aren't you afraid to stay here? !" Zhuge Liang took a deep breath and asked.
"Stay here, with all your trash." Li Linfei said with disdain.
Li Linfei's words directly made Zhang Fei Guan Yu and the others furious, they were all the few martial artists in the world and had their own pride from the inside, although they knew Li Linfei was powerful, but Li Linfei called himself trash, how could they stand this?
He had always been confident in his own martial arts, especially the first three slashes, he felt that even Li Linfei could not take them hard, he used the sneak attack technique in order to seriously wound or kill Li Linfei, as for the dignity and so on, let these play eggs! Everything for big brother!
