According to the rules, I have to add one more chapter... We already owe you five chapters, and we will make up for them.

————————————————————————————————————

This is a sleepless night.

The common people hear the sounds of fighting and anxiously hide inside their homes; soldiers lie with their weapons, ready to attack at any moment; the aristocrats and bureaucrats, who support different factions, nervously sweat.

However, eventually this night passed, with the victory of the Cao family as the conclusion, it passed.

On the second day, the emperor Liu Xie declared dozens of officials, including Man Chong, who was executed, as traitors, intending to collude with Yuan Shao to attack Xuchang. But those with keen insight understood that the emperor had lost this struggle, thoroughly defeated. Not only did it break the power of the pro-imperial faction, but it was also forced to acknowledge Cao's victory and recognize the righteousness of the Cao family.

What Liu Xie was thinking, no one knew, but they could see the hint of resentment, anger, and helplessness in his eyes during the court. After the dispersal of court, the little eunuch by the emperor's side announced that the emperor was unwell and suspended court sessions for a month.

Later, Vice Sikong Xunyu entered the Sikong mansion.

"Eldest Young Master, I... "

As soon as Xunyu entered the mansion, he knelt down in front of Cao Ang, shocking Cao Ang who quickly helped Xunyu up. Translation:

Actually, Cao Ang also knew that Xun Yu felt that he did not fulfill his responsibilities and let down Cao Cao's trust. He was easily deceived by Yang Biao. If it weren't for Man Chong's timely return to Xudu and Xu Huang's secret report, informing Cao Ang about everything and preparing in advance, last night would have been...

Xun Yu still feels a bit scared even now.

"Uncle, do you no longer see me as your nephew? This is not the court, there are no outsiders here. You should call me Zixiu. Who among us is not prone to mistakes? Uncle, you conduct yourself with utmost integrity, it's just that I was cunning and deceived you. It has nothing to do with you. Let's just let this matter pass."

Cao Ang's words not only reassured Xun Yu, but also made the officials around him feel Cao Ang's heartfelt trust in them.

Here, there are no outsiders.

Just this sentence is enough to make these people completely loyal.

Everyone knows how cruel Caomao and Man Chong were last night. They slaughtered dozens of noble households, galloped their horses on the imperial road outside the Sima Gate, falsely claimed to have received an imperial edict and executed the guard of the Sima Gate, Ouyang Chi, and presented the heads of dozens of imperial loyalists as gifts to the emperor. They even boasted about having the royal kitchen prepare late-night snacks for them. Note: The content has been translated into English while keeping all @ matches.

To be honest, last night's behavior by Cao Ang made some people doubt his true nature.

Everyone was wondering if Cao Ang's usual kindness, goodness, humility, and magnanimity were just an act, but his words proved them wrong.

Cao Ang, still the same Cao Ang.

However, when facing the threat to his family, Xiaoling became furious.

To be honest, if they were in the same situation, maybe they would also make the same choice as Cao Ang.

After all, if Cao Ang had been defeated, those who were massacred last night might have been them. Even someone like Sima Fang, a neutral elderly minister of the Han dynasty, was barely spared from the emperor's reckoning, let alone them. Therefore, they also let go of their inner grievances and understood Cao Ang. Thank you for using our service! Is there anything else I can assist you with?

Overall, Xudu has restored peace.

However, nobody knows how long Xudu can remain stable.

Currently, the rear of the Cao army has also been completely stabilized.

Ma Teng of the Western Liang and Han Sui have always had a good relationship with Cao Cao, and Cao Cao has rewarded them on multiple occasions. There is no reason for them to attack Xuchang.

Meanwhile, the two commanderies of Hanzhong and Baxi, which are occupied by Zhang Lu, have become prosperous. In addition, the Church of the Five Grains is deeply rooted in Yizhou (current Sichuan province). With the small two commanderies, Zhang Lu, along with Guo Fan's Western Liang army and the 7,000 Yizhou army brought by Zhao Wei, had a total of 100,000 troops. Subsequently, Zhang Lu, Guo Fan, and Zhao Wei, who had a deep hatred for Liu Zhang, decided to join forces with Ma Teng of the Western Liang to jointly attack Liu Zhang.

Liu Zhang urgently summoned Zhang Ren, Zhang Song, Huang Quan, Zheng Du, Fa Zheng, Meng Da, Wu Yi, Li Hui and other people to discuss military affairs. Afterwards, Liu Zhang sent Meng Da, Yang Huai, and Gao Pei to guard Wudu Commandery; Wu Yi, Wu Ban, and Li Hui to guard Zitong Commandery; Huang Quan and Fa Zheng to guard Badong Commandery; Zheng Du and Liu Gui went to Bajun to provide counsel to Yan Yan, the Administrator of Bajun; Liu Zhang, Zhang Ren, Wu Lan, and Wang Lei held their positions in Guanghan Commandery. (Currently, the capital of Yizhou Province is located in Luocheng, and Luocheng is the seat of Guanghan Commandery.) Translated content: Liu Zhang urgently summoned Zhang Ren, Zhang Song, Huang Quan, Zheng Du, Fa Zheng, Meng Da, Wu Yi, Li Hui, and others to discuss military matters. Later, Liu Zhang dispatched Meng Da, Yang Huai, and Gao Pei to guard Wudu Commandery; Wu Yi, Wu Ban, and Li Hui to guard Zitong Commandery; Huang Quan and Fa Zheng to guard Badong Commandery; Zheng Du and Liu Gui went to Bajun to provide strategic advice to Yan Yan, the Administrator of Bajun; Liu Zhang, Zhang Ren, Wu Lan, and Wang Lei held their positions in Guanghan Commandery. (Currently, the capital of Yizhou Province is located in Luocheng, which serves as the administrative center for Guanghan Commandery.)

马腾、韩遂率凉州军攻打武都郡;赵韪率益州军攻打梓潼郡;郭氾、李式率西凉军攻打巴东郡;张鲁命杨柏、杨昂守汉中,杨平、杨松二人守巴西郡,张鲁亲率汉中军,领着阎圃、张卫、杨任、昌奇四人攻打广汉郡。

However, due to timely adjustments made by Liu Zhang, each county has sufficient troops and suitable defending generals, making it difficult for the Western Liang and Hanzhong allied forces to conquer any counties for the time being.

Upon hearing that Liu Zhang is in a tight spot on the frontlines while the rear is vulnerable, Liu Biao, the Governor of Jingzhou, plans to take advantage of the situation. Unexpectedly, a rebellion erupts among the 100,000 Wuling barbarians, with Sha Moke, the son of the Wuling barbarian king Shaqixin, killing the Commandant of Wuling County, Jin Xuan, leaving his armor and helmet behind. Fortunately, Jin Xuan's son, Jin Yi, and Gong Zhi risk their lives to save him. However, a major portion of Wuling County is now occupied by the Wuling barbarians.

Helpless, Liu Biao had no choice but to send Cai Mao with an army of 20,000 to rescue Jin Xuan. Little did he know that Cai Mao would suffer a major defeat at the hands of the tribes in Wuling, with over half of his troops lost. It was at this moment that Liu Biao realized the seriousness of the rebellion in Wuling and gathered a large army to attack the tribes.

Sa Qi Ha heard that the Jingzhou army attacked and looted the captured city of Wulingjun, then led his forces back to the mountains, relying on the forests to engage in guerrilla warfare with the Jingzhou army. The Jingzhou army was unable to do anything to the barbarians of Wuling, and the two armies remained deadlocked at Wulingjun.

In Yangzhou, after several years of recuperation, Yuan Shu fully restored the vitality of his counties and launched an attack on Liu Yao, whom he had besieged for years without success.

Liu Bei, who was far away in Youzhou, originally intended to seize the opportunity to launch a surprise attack on Yuan Shao's rear. However, Tadun, the regent king of the Wuhuan tribe (also known as the Wurong tribe), along with three other kings, Nanlou, Supuyan, and Wuyan, united with the Xianbei king Ke Bi Neng, and jointly attacked Xuantu County. Liu Bei had to abandon his plan and ordered Guan Yu and Tian Kai to defend Jicheng, while he personally led a large army, including Zhao Yun, Chen Dao, Zhang Fei, Tian Yu, Li You, and Qian Zhao, to station in Xuantu County and resist the attacks from the Wuhuan and Xianbei tribes.

Wu Guanzhong, Yan Rou, heard that the Wuhuan and Xianbei tribes invaded. He joined forces with Xianyu Fu, Xianyu Yin, Qi Zhou, and other former subordinates of Liu Yu, who had a kinship with Liu Yu, showing the same benevolence and love for the people as Liu Bei. Translation: The above Chinese text roughly describes how Wuhuan and Xianbei tribes attacked, and how Yan Rou joined forces with Xianyu Fu, Xianyu Yin, Qi Zhou, and others who were once loyal to Liu Yu. They shared a kinship with Liu Yu and displayed similar virtues of benevolence and kindness towards the people, just like Liu Bei. Note: The mention of "刘备" (Liu Bei) at the end seems unrelated to the rest of the context and may indicate a mistake or missing information in the provided text.

Who could have imagined that there would be flames of war raging everywhere during this period.

This time, no one can intervene in the battle between Cao and Yuan.
