Three Kingdoms lazy man

After hearing this answer, Ma Chao nodded silently. For Ma Chao, he was also very easy to understand.

Among the princes at the end of the Han Dynasty, they were able to use the armies of ethnic minorities, but they basically never let the armies of these ethnic minorities really enter the civil war in the Central Plains.

After all, the civil war in the Central Plains is nothing more than a fight between one's own people and one's own people.In the eyes of the Han people, alien races always belong to outsiders.

Even if Gongsun Zan was forced to the last moment by Yuan Shao, she would let her subordinate Baima Yicong guard against the few alien races on the grassland instead of returning to the Central Plains to help Gongsun Zan resist Yuan Shao.

And even if Yuan Shao was defeated by Cao Cao, Yuan Shao still had an army stationed in the north to fight against the alien race.

And Ma Chao and Ma Teng sat in the real Xiliang, and they just led the Xiliang iron cavalry to continue to attack Long Press, and they didn't see them bring other ethnic minorities into the Central Plains.

Even if Cao Cao was in the north, he did not forget to attack the aliens in the north, and Sun Quan in Jiangdong did not forget to suppress Shanyue. Even if Zhuge Liang later pacified the Nanman, he did not take the Nanman soldiers under him to the real Northern Expedition.

It can be said that during the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Han nationality had a very strong sense of national glory. Even at the end of the period, the Han nationality was still a very united nation with its own sense of national honor and a strong sense of belonging.

Even if one's power is really defeated, he will not ask a few people of other races to help him.

"Then where are we going now?" At this moment, Ma Chao looked at Gao Lan in front of him with a calm expression, and asked him in a soft tone.

"General Ma will follow me back to the grassland for the time being, and we will discuss it with the master at that time." Gao Lan looked at Ma Chao calmly, and then said to Ma Chao in a soft tone.

Ma Chao stroked his beard, looked at the few Xiliang troops left behind him, and the dilapidated carriage, so he nodded and said in a heavy tone: "If that's the case, it can only be done like this." If so, I will trouble General Gao to make arrangements for us."

"It's all a trivial matter, nothing to worry about. General Ma and his men, come with us." Looking at Ma Chao's polite look, Gao Lan wondered if Ma Chao's personality had changed, after all, she used to I also met Ma Chao, and Ma Chao's character was aloof and frightening.

So Gao Lan took his heavy cavalry, and Ma Chao and others behind him, slowly headed north and left Wuwei City.

"General, the heavy cavalry unit waiting for Ma Chao has left Wuwei City and headed north." At this moment, a soldier hurriedly came to Xu Huang and Xia Houyuan, speaking to them with a heavy tone Said.

"It seems that this Ma Chao is really lucky to have escaped." At this time, Xia Houyuan looked at Xu Huang who was a little unhappy, and said in a hoarse tone.

"Since he has left Wuwei City, we can lead our soldiers to take down the city. If we take down the city at that time, we can write a letter to report back to the Prime Minister." Xu Huang looked at Xia Houyuan who was a little unhappy He stroked his beard, spoke to Xia Houyuan calmly, and then led the soldiers and horses behind him slowly towards Wuwei City.

"Wuwei City, let's go!" Xia Houyuan sighed helplessly, he could only wave the reins in his hand, ride the war horse under his crotch, and followed Xu Huang in the distance.

Wuwei City is the last city in Xiliang, and now there is no defense in the city, so Xu Huang and Xia Houyuan captured Wuwei City very easily. From then on, the land of Liangzhou has completely belonged to Cao Cao, who has already occupied everything but Yizhou, Jingzhou, Jiaozhou, and the nine states of Yangzhou, it can be said that the general trend of the world has completely turned to Cao Cao's side.

At this time, Cao Cao was sitting in his mansion, looking at the letter in his hand calmly.

"Bai Zifu! This guy! I gave up such a good opportunity!" Cao Cao looked at the letter in his hand at this time, slowly raised his head, and said with some emotion in his tone.

However, although Cao Cao knew what was going on in his heart, Cao Cao also understood this feeling and would not speak out about it. After all, he had a good reason for doing so.

Chapter 8 Seventeen: Cao Cao's Ambition

"Prime Minister, there is an urgent report from Xiliang." At this moment, a soldier from outside hurried in with a letter in his hand, and looked at the person sitting on the seat with a serious expression. Cao Cao said to Cao Cao in a somewhat respectful tone.

At this time, Cao Cao looked at the guard at the side calmly and made a look. The guard looked at Cao Cao, carefully took the letter from the soldier, and handed it to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao took the letter in his hand, looked at the contents of the letter silently, and suddenly his face became a little heavy.

At this time, Yang Xiu, who was sitting on the side, asked Cao Cao cautiously, "Could it be that something happened to Xiliang, Prime Minister?"

"Xu Huang and Xia Houyuan have captured Wuwei City now, and now the whole of Xiliang belongs to me, Cao Cao." At this time, Cao Cao stroked his beard, looked at Yang Xiu at the side with a calm expression, and then spoke calmly. Said directly to Yang Xiu.

After hearing what Cao Cao said, Yang Xiu looked at Cao Cao with a calm expression, and said to Cao Cao with a joyful tone: "This is a great joy."

After hearing what Yang Xiu said, Cao Cao silently looked at Zeng Zhu with a smile on the side, then gently stroked his beard, looked at Yang Xiu calmly, and said in a calm tone: "Really? Is it a good thing? But Ma Chao escaped! And he was rescued by a heavy cavalry of thousands of people!"

"Ma Chao was rescued?" Yang Xiu froze the smile on his face when he heard these words, and then said to Cao Cao cautiously.

"This horse won't die, I'm so troubled! If one day I can pacify the world, I will definitely lead my soldiers to wipe out the foreign tribes in Saibei, and the horse will have nowhere to escape." Cao Cao was stroking his beard at this time , looked at Yang Xiu at the side with a gloomy expression, and then said to Yang Xiu with a heavy tone.

Seeing Cao Cao's serious expression, Yang Xiu quickly said to Cao Cao, "What the prime minister said is true. Now that the prime minister has already taken over the world's major affairs, it will be easy to rule the world by then!"

"Dezu, what you said is very true. What you say really touches my heart." Cao Cao said to Yang Xiu calmly, stroking his beard at this time.

Time passed quickly, and soon after, Soochow sent an envoy Zhuge Jin to visit Prime Minister Cao Cao.

In the prime minister's mansion, Zhuge Jin, who was the envoy of the Eastern Wu, looked at Cao Cao sitting on the main seat with a serious expression, and said to Cao Cao respectfully: "Zhuge Jin in Jiangdong, Zhuge Ziyu met prime minister."

"Will Sun Quan of Soochow finally be willing to send someone over?" At this time, Cao Cao looked at Zhuge Jin with a calm expression, and asked Zhuge Jin in a hoarse tone.

"My Marquis Wu has long admired the prestige of the prime minister, and now he specially sent someone to bring a gift." At this time, Zhuge Jin looked at Cao Cao calmly, and said in a hoarse voice.

"I don't know your Marquis Wu, what did you send?" At this time, Cao Cao asked Zhuge Jin with a curious expression on hearing what Zhuge Jin said in front of him, because he didn't even look at Soochow now. Gift.

"Here is the list of gifts and the letter written by my Marquis Wu to the Prime Minister. Please read it!" Zhuge Jin looked at Cao Cao who was sitting on the seat with a calm expression at this time, and carefully took out the letter from his sleeve. He wrote a letter and a list, then slowly handed it to Cao Cao, and said to Cao Cao in a calm tone.

Cao Cao looked at Zhuge Jin's cautious look in front of him, so he took the letter silently, then carefully looked at the contents of the letter, and then looked at the list with his eyes, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Your Marquis Wu, you really have good intentions! Is this forcing me to do such a thing?" At this time, Cao Cao looked at Zhuge Jin with a serious expression, and looked at Zhuge Jin with a smile on his face. Zhuge Jin said.

Cao Cao looked at the letter written by Sun Quan, and it was nothing more than persuading Cao Cao to go further. Among the gifts, there is a part of Jiuxi that can only be used by the public, that is, the golden car and Zhuhu among the nine items.

"Now the prime minister is the destiny, and my Marquis Wu specially sent these things in accordance with the weather." At this time, Zhuge Jin looked at Cao Cao sitting on the seat with a calm expression, and said to Cao Cao in a respectful tone. At this time, seeing Cao Cao's smiling face, Zhuge Jin dared not be careless.

"I'll take these things for the time being. You go back and tell Sun Quan well, let him settle down, and wait for me to go to Jiangdong to hunt with him in Kuaiji!" At this time, Cao Cao gently stroked his beard. , looked at Zhuge Jin in front of him, and said to Zhuge Jin in a soft tone.

"I will definitely report the prime minister's intentions to Marquis Wu." Zhuge Jin nodded helplessly after listening to Cao Cao's words, and then said to Cao Cao in a respectful tone to the end, and retreated silently. out.

"Little Sun Quan, really! Hehe!" At this time, Cao Cao was holding the letter in his hand, playing with it silently, and finally showed a helpless wry smile, and then looked at the long history Dong Zhao and the chief secretary Yang Xiu .

"Prime Minister, this is God's will now, and I wish to make the prime minister feel ashamed at this time." Dong Zhao looked at Cao Cao's looking gaze at this time, and said to Cao Cao in a somewhat respectful tone.

At this time, Cao Cao also had a little ambition in his heart. Hearing such words, he immediately stroked his beard and said to Dong Zhao calmly, "If that's the case, I'll leave this matter to you."

Dong Zhao heard what Cao Cao said, saw Cao Cao looking at him, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then nodded silently.

And Yang Xiu who was on the side sighed helplessly when he heard what Cao Cao said.Is this the way things are going now, really?

At night, Dong Zhao visited the courtiers who were close to him in the court, and finally returned to his mansion after a night of exhaustion.

In the early morning of the next day, the court meeting of the imperial court still started, and at this time the Han Emperor Liu Xie, who was sitting on the dragon chair, did not know that the crisis was approaching him step by step.

At this moment, from the gate of the chapel in the distance, Cao Cao walked in from outside the chapel with a calm expression, then looked at Han Emperor Liu Xie sitting on the dragon chair, and finally sat silently on the dragon chair. A seat next to a chair.

Han Emperor Liu Xie looked at Cao Cao like this, his complexion became a little heavy, but now Han Emperor Liu Xie is completely like a puppet, and now he can't do anything to Cao Cao at all.

"Your Majesty has an order to report if there is something to do, and to leave the court if there is nothing to do." At this time, the little eunuch looked at Cao Cao cautiously, and then said to the courtiers below with a somewhat heavy tone.

At this time, Dong Zhao, who was among the courtiers, looked a little heavy, stood up on his seat, and then said to Han Emperor Liu Xie who was sitting on the dragon chair in a hoarse voice: "I report to Your Majesty." , I have something to report."

At this time, Han Emperor Liu Xie looked at the person in front of him, and asked him with some doubts: "I don't know if Aiqing has something to report."

Dong Zhao looked at Cao Cao who was sitting on the side of the dragon chair, then looked at Han Emperor Liu Xie who was sitting on the dragon chair, and then said to Han Emperor Liu Xie with a heavy tone: "Now the prime minister has worked hard and made great achievements. For the revival of the Han Dynasty, he forgot to eat and sleep. Since ancient times, there has never been a person who has worked so hard like Cheng Cheng. Even people like Zhou Gong and Lu Wang cannot match the prime minister. Rejuvenation and existence. How can it be juxtaposed with the courtiers, and now it should be enfeoffed as a public, and nine tins should be added to show the merits of the prime minister."

At this time, Emperor Han Liu Xie's expression became a little heavy when he heard this, and he looked at Dong Zhao below him with a cold gaze, gritted his teeth in anger, and then carefully looked at the man sitting beside him. Cao Cao noticed a sneer at the corner of Cao Cao's mouth, and looked at him sideways.
