Siheyuan: I have a multi-dimensional chat group!

Upon returning to Beijing, Zhou Bingkun immediately visited his mentor, Zhang Baili, and then went to work at the affiliated hospital.

Although Zhou Bingkun has not appeared at the affiliated hospital in the past two years, the doctors at the hospital still remember him.

Therefore, Zhou Bingkun quickly established relationships with the doctors and nurses.

A month later, Xiao Guoqing called Zhou Bingkun and said that his clothing store had opened and business was booming.

Zhou Bingkun was naturally very happy that Xiao Guoqing's clothing store had opened.

She even shared her joy in the chat group.

Zhang Chulan: "Bingkun, now that you've helped Xiao Guoqing, aren't you afraid Sun Ganchao will get jealous?"

Zhou Bingkun: "Ganchao isn't that kind of person! Besides, this was their own choice, so what can I do? At most, I'll help him find a good job after he's laid off from the lumber mill!"

Zhang Sanfeng: "For ordinary people without precognitive abilities, even if an opportunity is presented to them, it is very difficult to seize it!"

Group owner Xiao Shan: "There's nothing we can do about it! After all, ordinary people don't have the capital to gamble on something that's both risky and potentially high-rewarding!"

Yan Chixia: "For ordinary people, it's already difficult to live a peaceful and uneventful life, let alone to stand out from the crowd!"

Liu Bei: "Cao Cao is finally going to launch a military campaign against Hanzhong!"

Huang Rong: "If Cao Cao wants to attack Hanzhong now, he'll have to ask Ma Chao and Han Sui for passage, right?"

Liu Bei: "That's right!"

Huang Rong: "Will Ma Chao and Han Sui agree?"

Liu Bei: "No! Because the strategist has already sent someone to tell Ma Chao and Han Sui that Cao Cao intends to use the 'borrowing a path to attack Guo' strategy! Unless Ma Chao and Han Sui are out of their minds, they will not agree to borrow a path!"

Huang Rong: "So, if Cao Cao wants to attack Hanzhong, he has to fight Ma Chao and Han Sui first?"

Liu Bei: "That's right. I've already had my strategist send dozens of portraits of Cao Cao to Ma Chao, and told him that Cao Cao is a man who loves to use divisive tactics. For example, he might deliberately meet with Han Sui alone, and then write a heavily edited letter to Han Sui to sow discord between the two of you!"

Group owner Xiao Shan: "Uncle, if you do this, won't Cao Cao be in big trouble?"

Liu Bei: "It would be best if Ma Chao could kill Cao Cao, then there would be no obstacle for us to take Hanzhong!"

……

In the world of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, there is the Public Security Bureau.

After ending his chat with the other people in the chat group, Liu Bei sent someone to inform Guan Yu, instructing him to make it appear as if he were attacking Xiangyang, thus diverting Cao Cao's forces.

Upon receiving Liu Bei's order, Guan Yu immediately mobilized his troops, making it appear as if he were about to launch a major attack on Xiangyang.

The news quickly reached Cao Cao, who was personally leading his troops to conquer Hanzhong.

Although Cao Cao knew that Guan Yu's attack was probably a feint, intended to distract his troops.

But Xiangyang is just too important!

Even if he knew that Guan Yu was putting on an act, he still had to send troops to strengthen the defenses of Xiangyang.

After Cao Cao relayed his orders, he saw Cheng Yu rush in.

"Zhongde, what happened?" Cao Cao's heart skipped a beat when he saw Cheng Yu enter.

Cheng Yu told Cao Cao that Ma Chao and Han Sui refused to grant them passage and had even joined forces to defeat Xiahou Yuan, who was the vanguard of the army.

After Xiahou Yuan was defeated, he retreated to Tongguan and joined forces with Zhong Yao to resist the attack of the Western Liang coalition.

"Damn Ma Chao and Han Sui, aren't they worried about the safety of their families in Xuchang?" Cao Cao slammed his fist on the table in anger, his face dark and gloomy.

Cheng Yu pretended not to hear Cao Cao's words.

After venting his anger, Cao Cao looked at Cheng Yu and asked, "Zhongde, in your opinion, what should we do now?"

Chapter 351, Xiao Shan's Reflections and Future Plans! (Please Subscribe!)

Upon hearing Cao Cao's question, Cheng Yu pondered for a moment before replying, "Prime Minister, I believe we should first send reinforcements to Tongguan; secondly, we should send people to reprimand Ma Chao, Han Sui, and others for opposing the court; and finally, we can have their families in Xuchang write letters to them, persuading them to submit to the court!"

Cao Cao adopted all of Cheng Yu's suggestions.

He immediately dispatched Cao Hong and Xu Huang with 10,000 troops to provide rapid support to Tongguan.

However, what Cao Cao did not expect was that Han Sui anticipated that Cao Cao would send reinforcements to support Tongguan, so he set up an ambush on the only way to Tongguan.

Cao Hong and Xu Huang fell into an ambush and could only lead their remaining troops back along the original route.

However, Han Sui sent men to impersonate Cao Cao's reinforcements and tricked them into opening the city gates.

Seeing that Tongguan Pass could not be defended, Xiahou Yuan and Zhong Yao had no choice but to lead their troops out of Tongguan and head east to join Cao Cao's main force.

Cao Cao saw that both of his troops had been defeated by the Xiliang army, and that Tongguan had been lost.

Left with no other choice, he could only lead his army to set up camp east of Tongguan and confront the Xiliang army.

Because the Xiliang army is currently in high spirits, Cao Cao can only avoid their sharp edge and refrain from fighting them for the time being.

After learning that Cao Cao and the Xiliang army were locked in a stalemate at Tongguan, Zhuge Liang decisively launched an offensive against Hanzhong.

Soon, under Zhuge Liang's command, Wei Yan and Huang Zhong respectively captured Yangping Pass and Dingjun Mountain.

With the gates of Hanzhong wide open, Liu Bei's army quickly occupied a large part of Hanzhong's territory.

When Zhuge Liang told Liu Bei the news via satellite phone, Liu Bei was naturally very excited.

As for this satellite phone, Liu Bei naturally purchased it from his own online store.

Besides Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu also had one.

An excited Liu Bei naturally didn't forget to share the news with everyone in the chat group.

Zhang Chulan: "If that's the case, even if Cao Cao were to defeat Ma Chao, his army wouldn't have enough time to enter Hanzhong!"

Liu Bei: "That should be the case! We're definitely conquering Hanzhong faster than Cao Cao defeated Ma Chao!"

Group owner Xiao Shan: "The Imperial Uncle has almost exposed Cao Cao's underwear to Ma Chao. It will be difficult for Cao Cao to defeat Ma Chao by using a divisive tactic in the future video!"

Li Ye: "Once Liu Bei takes over the Hanzhong region, Cao Cao will have a real headache!"

Yue Buqun: "That's right, the Hanzhong region is extremely important! As for Brother Li Ye, how's the situation on your end?"

Li Ye: "I am currently focusing all my efforts on developing the economy of the Guanzhong region, allowing it to recuperate and rebuild, and reforming the army by having the discharged soldiers cultivate military farmland and grow grain to supply the army's needs!"

Li Ye: "The battle between Li Keyong and Zhu Quanzhong continues. However, Zhu Quanzhong is a cunning fellow. He instigated the warlords of Hebei to besiege Li Keyong, but he himself did not put in any real effort. While creating chaos in Hebei, he secretly took over Xuzhou."

Group owner Xiao Shan: "Doesn't that just give you a chance to reclaim the Sichuan region?"

Li Ye: "Yes, I have already dispatched troops to reclaim the military governorship of Sichuan. I expect we will be able to reclaim Sichuan soon!"

Besides what he mentioned in the chat group, Li Ye had also secretly established two intelligence organizations, the Eastern Depot and the Embroidered Uniform Guard, over the past few years.

Li Ye did not grant these two individuals the power to obstruct law enforcement, but instead enhanced their intelligence-gathering capabilities.

To date, the tentacles of the Eastern Depot and the Embroidered Uniform Guard have extended throughout the entire Guanzhong region.

Using intelligence from the Eastern Depot and the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Li Ye launched a purge of the officialdom.

They got rid of dozens of spies planted by powerful regional military governors, and then purged a group of corrupt officials.

They also investigated and dealt with dozens of cases of cheating related to the imperial examinations.

Using this pile of heads, Li Ye ruthlessly intimidated the officials of all ranks in Chang'an.

Seeing that the officials in Chang'an had become much more obedient, Li Ye is now preparing to extend the reach of the Eastern Depot and the Embroidered Uniform Guard beyond the Guanzhong Plain.

They aimed to plant their own spies in various regional military governorships before the war between Li Keyong and Zhu Quanzhong ended.

The world of courtyard houses, the city of Beijing.

After dinner, Xiao Shan, who was taking a walk, looked at the chat in the group and couldn't help but sigh: "These group members are all working so hard to change their fate. Am I, the group leader, being too lazy?"

However, the problem is that at this point in time, it's really not appropriate for me to make any moves in mainland China.

Unless, like Zhou Bingkun, he goes to Hong Kong to make a name for himself.

Although Hong Kong's economy is stronger than that of the mainland now, its most prosperous period was in the 1980s and 1990s.

Therefore, even if Xiaoshan was preparing to make a name for itself in Hong Kong, it would have to wait until the late 70s.

Once I've established myself in Hong Kong, I can take advantage of the reform and opening-up policy to help the mainland accelerate its economic development!

When Xiao Shan returned home from his walk and had just sat down to rest, Xu Damao came to his door.

Xiao Shan didn't even need to ask to know that Xu Damao had come to him for advice on how to get Li Huaide to promote him.

Xu Damao has come to Xiaoshan to discuss this issue more than once during this period.

Xu Damao was in such a hurry.

First of all, he had spent a lot of money on Li Huaide, and he couldn't sleep at night if he didn't get something in return.

Secondly, after discovering that Xu Damao was still a projectionist, Yu Haitang kept a certain distance from him.

Just as Xiao Shan had expected, after exchanging a few pleasantries, Xu Damao began to ask him how he could become an official.

Xiao Shan smiled and said, "Brother Mao, I don't have any good solutions to this. All you can do now is wait patiently!"

Hearing Xiao Shan say this, Xu Damao sighed helplessly: "Xiao Shan, you know, even a lousy cook like Sha Zhu became the canteen manager a long time ago, why is it so hard for me to become an official?"

"Brother Mao, you and Brother Zhu have never gotten along since you were little, but there's one thing Brother Zhu has that you can't deny!" Xiao Shan said to Xu Damao in a low voice.

After pondering for a moment, Xu Damao looked at Xiao Shan and said, "You mean Sha Zhu's cooking skills?"

“That’s right!” Xiao Shan nodded. “Now, Brother Zhu’s skills are among the best in the entire city of Beijing. Do you know how many leaders come to our factory to discuss business specifically because of Brother Zhu? That’s why, even though Director Li doesn’t like Brother Zhu, he still has to rely on him!”

"With Brother Zhu's skills, Factory Director Li can contact leaders of more other factories and build good relationships with them."

Chapter 352, Qin Jingru is pregnant, Xu Damao is heartbroken! (Please subscribe!)

Upon hearing Xiao Shan's words, Xu Damao felt incredibly frustrated.

I can't possibly go and learn to be a chef now, following in He Yuzhu's footsteps!

Don't say you don't want to be a chef, such a tiring job.

Even if I were willing to do it, it would take me forever to master He Yuzhu's skills!

Watching Xu Damao leave his home dejectedly, Xiao Shan secretly shook his head.

In Xiao Shan's view, being a projectionist honestly might not be a bad thing for Xu Damao.

The weekend is coming soon.

Because the steel rolling mill is closed today, the yard is a bit more lively than usual.

Just before lunchtime, Qin Jingru, who hadn't been to the courtyard in a long time, suddenly came to the yard.

She said she came to visit her cousin, but judging from the way Ma Hua was helping her, she was only just showing her pregnancy and clearly came to the yard to show off her pregnancy to Xu Damao.

When Xu Damao, who was inside the house, heard people talking about him outside, he ran out and discovered that Qin Jingru was pregnant. His face visibly darkened.

Qin Jingru also happened to see Xu Damao.

Seeing Xu Damao's unpleasant expression, Qin Jingru deliberately raised her voice to Qin Huairu beside her and asked, "Sister, do you think this baby is a boy or a girl?"

As she spoke, Qin Jingru raised an eyebrow at Xu Damao.

She was practically pointing her finger at Xu Damao and saying, "The reason I couldn't get pregnant back then wasn't because of my land, but because of your ox!"

Qin Jingru's words really stung Xu Damao!

For so many years, children have been Xu Damao's Achilles' heel!

He dreams of having a child of his own.

Unfortunately, she couldn't conceive with Lou Xiao'e, and she still couldn't conceive with Qin Jingru.

Now, less than six months after Ma Hua and Qin Jingru got married, Qin Jingru is pregnant!

Xu Damao was worried that if he continued to stand there, he would be so angry that he would die, so he decisively chose to hide back at home.

Seeing Xu Damao fleeing in disarray, Qin Jingru smiled victoriously.

Having achieved her goal, Qin Jingru didn't even have lunch at Qin Huairu's house before leaving the courtyard with Ma Hua.

Ever since Qin Jingru's visit, Xu Damao felt as if he could hear people talking about him and his uncle all the time, saying that they were childless.

In order to silence these people's gossip, Xu Damao became even more eager to become an official and to become the deputy head of the inspection team.

Xu Damao knew very well that once he became the deputy head of the inspection team, no one in the factory or the courtyard would dare to talk about him to his face.
