Established a millennium family since King Wu defeated Zhou

Chapter 690: Serving the emperor to punish disobedience!
The red sun rises in the east, and its way is bright!
Thousands of troops, numerous swords and armors!
Surrounded by thousands of troops, the Han emperor returned to his loyal home of Xingyang.

When Xingyang entered the palace, all the ministers took their places.

The shrill voice of Chang Shi resounded in the hall, "Cao Cao, the pastor of Yanzhou, was favored by the emperor in this life. He was loyal and sincere, and his ministers had awe-inspiring morals. He worked tirelessly to please the emperor. He made great achievements in the Han Dynasty and the country. He joined the generals of the West and made him Festival, the title of Qiaohou, the food town is [-] households.

Tell the world. "

In the palace, Cao Cao's face was calm but his eyes were full of ecstasy.

The great general, the hussar general, the valiant cavalry general, and the chariot general. Li Jue and Guo Si are dead. There is no one to hold these four important generals. The next step is the four important generals of Four Expeditions and Four Towns. It should be noted that the former Li Guo Er When the people's congress sprinkled officials and titles, what they gave was only four towns and four levels, not to mention that Cao Cao's general who conquered the west had a great title.

Today, in terms of official position alone, he is already the pinnacle of martial arts.

Liu Xie sat at the top. He was very smart and he felt the difference between Cao Cao and Li Guo in a short time.

After the canonization was completed, Liu Xie asked: "Your Majesty, I returned from Guanzhong and saw peace in Henan and Luoyang on the way. I wonder when I will return to Luoyang to worship my ancestors?
Is there anything wrong with the fact that the crown prince of the Han Dynasty is not in Luoyang? "

As soon as Liu Xie said these words, there was an instant silence in the palace.

Cao Cao raised his eyes slightly. Most of his ministers had low official positions and were not qualified to come to the palace. However, the faces of the courtiers who followed Liu Xie to Xingyang also changed.

Luoyang!
That's not something you can go back just by talking. Xun Yu secretly thought something was wrong and immediately said: "Your Majesty, Luoyang is among the world's most sacred places. It is the place of honor.

However, Luoyang is slightly dilapidated and the walls are damaged. It is a city without walls. Not to mention the army, even bandits can come and go at will. They cannot defend the people or your majesty.

Nowadays, the world is in turmoil, and all the four seas are full of disloyal people, and the eight wastelands are full of rebels.

Among the eight passes in Luoyang, there are all the jackals and wolves watching. Your Majesty moved to Luoyang, and you really trampled yourself to death.

Anyone who advises Your Majesty to return to Luoyang in such a situation, isn't it because he has evil intentions and is trying to cause trouble?
Only Marquis Cao is worried about His Majesty. "

As soon as Xun Yu's words came out, the hall fell silent. Liu Xie was a little confused. He was silent for a moment and said: "I see, then let's stay in Xingyang temporarily."

After Cao Cao walked out with the ceremony, Liu Xie and his ministers finally had time to discuss the general who conquered the west.

Liu Xie sighed: "Come and see, what kind of person is this Cao Cao?"

Everyone looked at each other and Da Sinong said: "Your Majesty, this Cao Cao is Yuan Shao's ally. What kind of person is he? Do we still need to think about it?
Even though he was not as disrespectful and cruel as Li Guo, he definitely had evil intentions and was definitely not a loyal minister like Wushuang Zhongwuhou.

Your Majesty, your ministers and others will be by your side, whether in life or death. "

Liu Xie's eyes flashed with lament. Of course he knew that it would be difficult to see a loyal minister like Luo Kong again, but he still had some hope in his heart.

"Then why do you think Cao Cao is flattering me?"

Upon hearing Liu Xie's inquiry, everyone in the palace looked at each other. Even if they didn't understand before, they all understand now.

Cao Cao returned to the Zhengxi General's Mansion, where the plaque had just been hung, and immediately summoned the shogunate's advisers and clan generals.

Cao Cao and Liu Xie now have a cooperative relationship. One is famous and the other is powerful. They cooperate with each other to create great achievements.

The next period will be a period of great development for Cao Cao's power, but for Cao Cao, one of his most important issues is to balance the relationship between the royal family's power and his own power.

People think Han.

It's not just that I miss the Han Dynasty, but that I can only express myself within the framework of the Han Dynasty. Not everyone is willing to follow Cao Cao to the dark side.

The human heart is extremely complex.

Some people are not loyal to a certain emperor and can even ignore the emperor, but usurping the throne is never allowed.

Unless he kills like Li Jue and Guo Si, he will never be able to keep his word.

The principle of ruler and minister is one of the greatest principles between heaven and earth.

As everyone entered the mansion, the door slowly closed with a dull sound.

Looking at his counselors, Cao Cao asked one of the most critical questions, "Everyone, the emperor is now in the army.

What I said in the past, obeying the emperor's orders but not obeying them, is now at hand.

Where should I go from Yanzhou? "

Where will Yanzhou go?

This is the biggest problem after catering to the emperor.

The moment the emperor entered Xingyang, the alliance between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao immediately broke down.

Xun Yu first said: "My lord, Yuan Shao defeated Gongsun Zan and captured all of Jizhou. He also had Lu Bu as an ally in Bingzhou and occupied most of Qingzhou. There are dead bones in Gongsun Zan's tomb, and Youzhou will also be owned by Yuan Shao.

If this is true, if the tiger occupies the land of the four states, fights southward for supremacy, and is invincible to those who hear it, Yuan Shao will be close to conquering the world. "

As soon as Xun Yu's words came out, all the counselors said: "Yes!"

Cao Cao suddenly laughed loudly, and his laughter was full of heroism, "If Yuan Shao can really win the world, how can you and I, Cao Cao, sit here?
Liu Bei, the hero of the world, can he still sit in Qingxu?
Yuan Benchu ​​is not the only hero in this world!

Since the Later Han Dynasty, the world has been in decline, since the Taiping Period, the nine states have collapsed, and the yin and yang have gone against each other and stained the sky with blood. I, Cao Cao, want to be the one who can bring order to the world.

That's exactly what it's like to cater to the emperor.

Everyone, let’s find out today! "

Cao Cao looked at everyone, but there was one sentence left that he had not said. He should not test his ambition any more.

Xun Yu, Xun You, Xi Zhicai, Cheng Yu, Guo Jia and the Xia nobles Cao clan all clasped their fists and bowed, with solemn faces.

Guo Jia chuckled softly and said, "Since my lord has such a great wish, Jia has a few words.

What Xun Lingjun said before was not alarmist. If he just sat back and watched, Yuan Shao would definitely annex the world.

Yuan Shao is too strong to be defeated by my family. We must form strong reinforcements from outside and reduce his strength. If both of them work together, it will not be difficult to win.

Lu Bu was a military man from the border county, and he must be a capricious person. Although he didn't know what kind of benefits Yuan Shao promised, he thought it was just a mutual interest.

Now that our army is orthodox to the Han Dynasty, we can use this to benefit Lu Bu. All the bustling in the world is for benefit, and all the turmoil in the world is for benefit. This will cut off Yuan Shao's arm.

The strong support came from Liu Bei, who was assisted by the Lu family. However, once Qingzhou was lost, Linzi and Jimo were all captured by Yuan Shao.

Even so, they are guarding Mount Tai because they want to connect with our army and gain a foothold in retaking Qingzhou.

There are also strong reinforcements called Youzhou! "

"Youzhou? Gongsun Zan with the withered bones in the tomb?"

Cao Cao was confused, then thought about his understanding of Gongsun Zan, shook his head and said: "He is not worthy of being Yuan Shao's opponent!"

Guo Jia chuckled and said: "Of course he is not an incompetent person like Gongsun Zan.

My lord, the general trend of the world today is different from that of the late Han Dynasty. It is no longer a competition among the princes within the Han Dynasty. Yuan Shao is not the only one who can capture Youzhou?
The Yan Kingdom in Liaodong had elite soldiers and brave generals. Once Gongsun Zan showed signs of defeat, he would immediately send tens of thousands of cavalry to occupy Youzhou, becoming the second Gongsun Zan before the boundary bridge.

At that time, all directions attacked Yuan Shao. Although the Jizhou people were numerous, the terrain was small. Once they broke through Yanshan Mountain and reached a plain, reaching Yecheng, how could he not be defeated? "

Cao Cao couldn't sit still after hearing this, and looked shocked and said: "This..."

But when he scanned the crowd, he found that except for Xun Yu who hesitated to speak, everyone else had expressionless faces. Xi Zhicai even had a look of appreciation.

Xun You and Cheng Yu both asked Cao Cao with a slightly gloomy tone: "My lord, what did Feng Xiao just say, is there any problem?"

Cao Cao opened his mouth, then smiled and said: "Heh...heh...no problem, Feng Xiao, let's continue talking."

Guo Jia then said: "Forging iron requires one's own strength.

The key to Yuan Shao's strength is to defeat Gongsun Zan and obtain Youzhou cavalry, Bingzhou cavalry, and the money, food and population of Jizhou and Qingzhou.

Our army is in Yanzhou, a place of four battles, where there are opportunities amid dangers.

There are three rivers in Sizhou to the west, all of which are fertile soil.

Yuzhou in the south was occupied by Yuan Shu. His people were no more than dead bones in a tomb and could not defend the land.

If Yuan Shao defeats Gongsun Zan, the Lord can also seize the wealth of the world from Yuan Shu!

Attack Yuan Shu, occupy three rivers, and occupy the eight passes of Luoyang. Even if Yuan Shao really has the land of four states, he can still fight in one battle. This is the foundation of the king's hegemony.

If you advance, you can attack Guandong and compete with Yuan and Liu. If you retreat, you can enter the center of Guanzhong and seize the power of Western Qin to annex the world. There is no reason to lose. "

"Sanhe! Yuzhou!"

Cao Cao stood up, muttered these two words, and looked up at the unknown distance, "Liu Bei, Yan State."

Guo Jia said many things, but the key point was just two allies, two pieces of land, and one enemy.

"Where do you think our army should focus?"

All the counselors looked at each other, and then said in unison: "Attack Yuan Shu!"

Yuan Shu's current situation is really not good, and he is deeply involved in the quagmire of war with Liu Biao, especially after Gongsun Zan was defeated and Liu Bei withdrew from Qingzhou and entered Xuzhou.

After the Northern War ended, Cao Cao betrayed his alliance and welcomed Liu Xie into Yanzhou without stopping. The alliance between Yuan and Cao collapsed, but the alliance between Yuan Shao and Liu Biao still existed. Cao Cao and Liu Biao also had a common enemy, Yuan Shu.

Now Cao Cao and Liu Bei want to join forces to fight Yuan Shao, so the alliance between Liu Bei and Yuan Shu breaks down, and Yuan Shu is now facing enemies from both sides.

House seemingly endless rain!

Sun Jian, this fierce tiger from the east of the Yangtze River, refuses to be controlled!

As the most capable vassal under Yuan Shu, the army led by Sun Jian was a rare record that he could achieve against Liu Biao.

Sun Jian understood that he was indispensable to Yuan Shu, so he became more and more arrogant. He opened his mouth for food, grass, weapons and other resources, causing Yuan Shu to curse countless times.

Angry as fire.

There is wind coming.

This wind is gloomy and biting, but it is not created to extinguish the fire in my heart, but to make it stronger.

This wind comes from the east, from the north, from the south, no one knows.

Runan.

Yuan Shu smashed a piece of exquisite porcelain again, and his heavy breathing made anyone feel his anger.

"Damn it! Damn it!"

He roared angrily, recalling what was said in the letter, and with a sinister look in his eyes, he summoned the servant and sent the letter.

Looking at the leaving figure of the messenger, Yuan Shu said gloomily: "If an angel dies, it will make him mad. Sun Jian, you deserve this."

The situation in Jingzhou is extremely complicated.

The highlights of Jingzhou are naturally Nanyang County, Nanjun and Jiangxia County.

But the key point of Nanyang County was not in the hands of Liu Biao, but in the hands of Nanyang Prefect Zhao Hong, who was once one of the commanders of the Taiping Army.

Zhao Hong was a vassal that Liu Biao obeyed but not declared. Liu Biao was not at ease with Zhao Hong. He always had troops guarding Xiangyang and the two sides did not invade each other.

The battlefield between Yuan Shu and Liu Biao was basically in Jiangxia County, and Sun Jian led his army to fight against Liu Biao's army here.

As for the supply of money and food, it was naturally provided by Yuan Shu, who was just a wandering warlord with no foundation.

Sun Jian inspected the military camp as usual to prevent Liu Biao from suddenly coming to attack, and then learned that the grain and grass that Yuan Shu was supposed to deliver on time had been delayed.

Food and grass are the foundation of the three armies!

Sun Jian suddenly became furious and said: "Who dares to deprive my army of food and fodder? Let me know that they will be killed without mercy!"

The envoy then told Yuan Shu's original words: "Sun Wentai lost his troops and generals, wasted food and grass, and did not achieve an inch of success. How can he feed my food?"

When Sun Jian heard this, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He was frightened and angry and said: "In this war, how can we cut off the resources of the frontline army?

Doesn't this mean that the three armies will be ruined?

Yuan Gonglu!
Yuan Shu!

You're such a stupid person, you're so incompetent! "

Sun Jian just wanted to conceal the news, but the news spread throughout the army almost instantly. The soldiers all knew that no food and grass had been delivered, and the crowd was excited.

All the generals under Sun Jian's command went into the tent and said angrily: "Yuan Shu is unkind, my lord, there is no food and grass, we must withdraw our troops."

When Sun Jian heard this, he paced twice and said bitterly: "Yuan Shu is trying to force me, Sun Jian, to bow his head.

Really hateful!

We must not let him get what he wants, otherwise life and death will be in his hands in the future.

Nowadays, the military's food and grass supply can still last for some time.

If Jingzhou also knows that our army is short of food, it may be possible to lure the enemy deep into the army, defeat the Jingzhou army, and seize Jiangxia.

If we can capture Jiangxia, we can hold on to Jiangxia. Please serve as Liu Biao's vassal and counterattack Yuan Shu. We can also go down the river to attack Jiangdong. This is where our chances of survival lie. "

Convincing all the generals what Sun Jian said is indeed the best way now.

Seeing that everyone was no longer dissatisfied, Sun Jian laughed loudly and said: "I will personally explore the land of Jiangxia to find a place where an ambush is easy, so that the generals in Jingzhou can see how I rose from a humble family, and how I can fight in the field and defend the city. How big is the gap.”

No one cared that Sun Jian was going to investigate in person.

Among Sun Jian's generals, not many could defeat Sun Jian with force alone. He often took the lead, and he was a ten thousand enemy who fought against Zhang Jiao without dying.

Since entering Jingzhou, they have also been charging into battle and are invincible.

Sun Jian led hundreds of elite horses out of the military camp to explore the land of Jiangxia County.

----

Emperor Sheng appointed him as the general who conquered the west, envoy Chijie, and specially granted him the privilege of opening a mansion. The emperor then summoned the ministers and said: "The world is in turmoil, rebellion is rampant, gangs often fall to the ground, and blood is everywhere. Now I honor the Han Dynasty." Your Majesty, it is time for you to give orders to the people of the world, to attack the unruly ministers, to uphold moral integrity, to help the people, and to show the friendship of all the ministers of Han Dynasty!"

All the heroes in the world, Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shu, all had withered bones in their tombs. The emperor took them lightly and said, "Yuan Shao attacked Zan, but I defeated Yuan Shu. He occupied the north of the Central Plains, and I took the south of the Central Plains. We drove parallel to each other. Do you think this is true?" "

Scholars agreed. ——"Book of Wei·The Chronicles of Emperor Wu"
