Cao Cao nodded, and said to Cheng Yu with a heavy tone, "That's it, go back!"

Under Cao Cao's order, the generals of the Cao army headed towards the south, towards Yecheng.

In Xuchang City, in Fu Wan's mansion, Fu Wan sat on the main seat with a serious expression, while Zhang You and others sat aside, looking at Fu Wan with a serious expression.

Fu Wan looked at the people around him, and said to them in a heavy tone: "Now there is news from Hebei that Hebei has been pacified by Cao Cao, and Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang of the Yuan family are dead. The class teacher is about to return to court, and this time our opportunity is coming soon!"

"Cao Cao is powerful now, what if we kill Cao Cao, and Cao Cao's army suddenly turns against us?" Zhang You said with a heavy expression while looking at Fu Wan who was sitting on the main seat.

Fu Wan listened to Zhang Yu's words, his face was a little heavy, and then he lowered his head and said nothing. After all, although he has the ability to kill Cao Cao now, Cao Cao still has an army of about 30 to [-] outside Xuchang City.

"Don't worry, we just need to catch Cao Cao's family members, use Cao Cao's family members to threaten those generals, and then defeat them one by one, isn't it all right?" At this time, Wang Zifu looked at the gloomy Zhang You with a serious expression on his face, Then he said to Zhang Yu in a calm tone.

"Master, there's news from the north!" A man in black ran in from outside at this moment, and said with a heavy tone, looking at Fu Wan.

Fu Wan looked at the man in black, his face became serious, and then asked the man in black: "If you have something, you might as well say it! There are no outsiders here!"

"It was just reported that Cao Cao wiped out the Wuhuan army that went south, and now it has reached Yecheng, and I heard that it will go south to Xuchang in a week!" The man in black said to Fu Wan with a serious expression.

"Cao Cao is coming back, it's really great, we've been waiting for this day!" Geng Ji who was on the side heard what the man in black said, and said to Fu Wan with some joy in his tone.

Fu finished listening and nodded, then looked at the people around him, hesitated for a moment, and said to them in a heavy tone: "Everyone, be quiet these days, and then give Cao thief a hard blow!"

Chapter 484 The Emperor and His Subjects Shifted

On a tree-lined path, an army is slowly heading south. Cao Cao is riding slowly on horseback, while Cao Cao's eldest son, Cao Ang, is silently following Cao Cao on horseback.

"Father, I'm going back to Xuchang soon, and I'll see my mother and brothers soon!" Cao Ang looked at Cao Cao with joy, and said to Cao Cao with some excitement.

Cao Cao looked at Cao Ang's excited face, looked at the carriage protected by the soldiers, and said to Cao Ang in a gentle tone: "If your mother sees Rui'er, she should be happier!"

Cao Ang smiled slightly after hearing Cao Cao's words, and then silently scratched the back of his head with his hands, looking embarrassed.

Slowly approaching Xuchang City, Xun Yu led all the officials to welcome Cao Cao's return at the gate.

Cao Cao looked at Xun Yu and the officials who came to greet him in person, with a smug smile on the corner of his mouth, then looked at Xun Yu and said with a smile: "Wen Ruo, when the old man is not in Xuchang, how is Xuchang?"

After hearing Cao Cao's words, Xun Yu was a little taken aback, and then replied to Cao Cao with a smile: "Everything is fine, all the officials are doing their duty, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. It can be said that they are very peaceful!"

Cao Cao burst out laughing when he heard Xun Yu's words, then looked at Xun Yu calmly and said, "Hand over Xuchang to Wen Ruo, my heart is at ease!"

"Welcome Mr. Cao back to the court!" Xun Yu nodded at Cao Cao's appearance, and then said to Cao Cao with a heavy tone.

Baiguan looked at Xun Yu's words, and quickly saluted Cao Cao.

Cao Cao laughed when he heard what Xun Yu and the officials said, and then said to the officials who were saluting: "You don't need to salute so much, get up!"

"Zixiu! Let's go to the city later, and I will go to visit the emperor with my father!" Cao Cao saw that everyone got up, and then turned his head to Cao Ang and said.

Cao Ang nodded after listening to Cao Cao's words, and then led by Cao Cao, the army behind Cao Cao slowly moved towards the interior of Xuchang City.

At this time in Fu Wan's mansion, Fu Wan stayed in the mansion and did not go to greet Cao Cao. Now that he heard the news of Cao Cao's return, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. According to the usual practice, Cao Cao needs to meet the emperor when he returns from the expedition, but Fu Wan is in the palace. With a network of heaven and earth set up, as long as Cao Cao arrives at the palace, it may be difficult to have a chance to come out again.

"Tie Cao, your time of death has arrived!" Fu Wan muttered to himself with a gloomy expression, looking at the clear sky.

After Cao Cao put the army in place, he took Cao Ang and Xu Chu slowly towards the palace.

The palace was unusually quiet. Cao Cao looked at the palace with a calm expression, and then said to Cao Ang in a heavy tone: "It seems that the palace has been rebuilt again, and it looks much more luxurious. Ruo didn't tell me about it in this article. , How much money will it cost to expand the palace!"

Cao Ang laughed when he heard Cao Cao's words, and then said calmly to Cao Cao, "The imperial palace is the palace of the emperor, so there is nothing wrong with the expansion?"

Cao Cao laughed when he heard Cao Ang's words, but he thought to himself that he still needs to cultivate his eldest son more. Although his eldest son has a kind personality, he lacks a heart of fear and ambition of an emperor!

"Your Majesty! Cao Sikong is here!" At this time, a young eunuch was at the gate of the palace, watching Cao Cao bring Cao Ang and Xu Chu slowly to the gate of the main hall, and hurriedly said to Han Emperor Liu Xie in the main hall.

After hearing this, Liu Xie hurriedly arranged his clothes, subconsciously looked at Fu Wan who was hiding behind the screen, and finally sat upright, watching Cao Cao and others slowly approaching him from a distance.

"Chen Cao Mengde! I have seen Your Majesty!"

"Sir Cao Zixiu! I have seen Your Majesty!"

"Minister Xu Zhongkang, I have seen Your Majesty!"

Under Cao Cao's leadership, the three of Cao Cao saluted Liu Xie who was sitting on the main seat, and said to Liu Xie in a heavy tone.

Looking at Cao Cao's serious face, Liu Xie felt a little cold behind him, and quickly replied to Cao Cao: "My love, please forgive me!"

"This minister has pacified Yuan Shao and Hebei. Now the world is at peace. If not, the world will be unified. Your Majesty can rejuvenate the Han Dynasty!" Cao Cao looked at Han Emperor Liu Xie who was sitting on the main seat, with a flat face Say something insincere.

Liu Xie looked at Cao Cao, his complexion twitching slightly. If Cao Cao really waited until Cao Cao ruled the world, it would be a problem whether the Han Dynasty was still there.

"Nowadays, the minister has great achievements. If His Majesty is so taciturn and has no rewards at all, it's a bit unreasonable!" Cao Cao looked at Liu Xie's complexion, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, looking at Liu Xie who was not far away. Said.

"Oh! A reward!" Liu Xie's complexion became heavy when he heard Cao Cao's words. This Cao Cao simply didn't care about etiquette, and he took the initiative to ask himself, the emperor, for a reward. It was simply too rude!

Liu Xie sighed softly, knowing that he could not offend Cao Cao now, so he asked Cao Cao in a serious tone, "I don't know what reward Sikong wants?"

Cao Cao listened to Liu Xie's words, looked at Xu Chu at the side, looked at Xu Chu, and said to Xu Chu with a heavy tone: "Submit the prepared things to the emperor!"

After listening to Cao Cao's words, Xu Chu nodded, took out a silk scarf full of things from his waist, handed it to the eunuch next to him, and then handed it up.

Liu Xie looked at the silk scarf handed over by the eunuch, opened it, and his complexion changed drastically. He gritted his teeth, and said to Cao Cao in a heavy tone: "Cao Sikong, my official position as prime minister has been abolished long ago. How about I?" Let Cao Sikong be the great Sima!"

Cao Cao laughed when he heard what Liu Xie said, and then said to Liu Xie in a majestic tone: "This prime minister has been an official position since the Han Dynasty, but it was abolished later, but your majesty can re-establish the official position of prime minister, your majesty, Wei The minister is right!"

After listening to Cao Cao's words, Liu Xie gritted his teeth and said in a heavy tone when he saw Cao Cao's cold eyes staring at him, "Cao Cao has made contributions to Sheji, and Cao Cao was named Sikong, Marquis of Wuping was named Marquis of Ye, and Shiyi was named City of Ye. Cao Ang followed Cao Cao in the battle and was granted the title of Marquis of Wuping for his meritorious service, with five hundred households in the city, and the rest followed the expedition officers and soldiers and were promoted to a higher rank."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, on behalf of the soldiers!" Cao Cao sneered at the corner of his mouth when he heard Liu Xie's words, and then said to Liu Xie with a slight salute.

Seeing Cao Cao's appearance, Liu Xie gritted his teeth, and said to Cao Cao in a displeased tone, "Prime Minister Cao, I'm tired, you should step back first!"

"Your Majesty, take care of the dragon's body, and I will retire first!" Cao Cao looked at Liu Xie's displeased face, with a cold smile on his face, and then responded to the emperor, and finally left slowly with Cao Ang and Xu Chu up.

Liu Xie watched Cao Cao leave the palace, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said in a cold tone: "Tie Cao, your death is approaching today!"

Cao Cao took Cao Ang and Xu Chu out of the palace. Seeing Cao Ang's expression on the side was a bit gloomy, Cao Cao shouted to Cao Ang curiously: "Zixiu, what's wrong!"

"What my father did just now is a bit..." Cao Ang looked at Cao Cao's gaze, and said to Cao Cao with a somewhat faltering tone.

"What's there?" Cao Cao asked curiously looking at Cao Ang, who looked a bit gloomy.

Cao Ang hesitated for a while, looked at Cao Cao and said helplessly: "What my father did is a bit inappropriate!"

Cao Cao laughed out loud after hearing Cao Ang's words, then looked at Cao Ang with serious eyes, and said to Cao Ang with a serious tone: "What is a minister? The emperor has power in his hands. A minister is a minister, and the emperor has power in his hands." Without power, where are the ministers under him, even if there are ministers and loyal ministers, they are nothing but hypocrites who stand up to fight for power!"

"Father, this..." Cao Ang lowered his head after hearing Cao Cao's words, not knowing what to say.

"Zixiu, you have to remember that you are the son of the Cao family, and then you are a member of the Han family. When the Cao family conflicts with the Han family, I hope you can consider your family. After all, you are also the father!" Cao Cao looked at Cao Ang and hesitated to speak. He patted Cao Ang on the shoulder lightly, and said to Cao Ang earnestly.
