The Three Kingdoms

Cao Cao curled his lips and said as a matter of course.

"Just give it a try!"

When Xi Zhicai heard this, he rolled his eyes suddenly, for he had created a tool to solve problems.

"By the way, what's the current situation in Handan?" After a while, the two drank a few glasses before Cao Cao looked serious and began to ask about the recent situation of Jizhou.

After the city of Ye was captured, even if the banner of the state of Jin fell, all the cities surrendered one after another. In the whole of Jizhou, the only one with the strength of the Jin army was Handan city.

"Handan City has collapsed without a fight. Gao Gan led his troops to flee to the west, and Ju Yi led his troops to the north, and they withdrew from Jizhou one after another!" Xi Zhicai summarized the whereabouts of the last two troops in Jizhou in eight words.

"Gao Gan fled to the west, I can only understand that Yuan Shao is dead, he wants to return to his old nest, it's normal!" Cao Cao frowned, his eyes were a little puzzled, and asked: "But why did Ju Yi go north? Do you seek refuge with Yuan Xi in Zhuojun?"

During the confrontation between the two armies, Yuan Tan was beheaded at the South City Gate, and Yuan Shang was assassinated in the palace. The only influential member of the Yuan family was Yuan Shao's second son, Yuan Xi.

Yuan Xi has been stationed in Zhuojun, controlling the Youzhou area of ​​Jin State.

"Yuan Xi?"

Hearing this, Xi Zhicai shook his head, squinted his eyes slightly, pondered for a while, and then said flatly: "Impossible, Ju Yi, as long as he is sensible, he would not choose to join Yuan Xi!"

Yuan Xi was just an idiot, Yuan Shao's most unsuccessful son, at this critical moment, it was even more impossible for him to make a comeback for the Jin Kingdom and rely on him, but he was just waiting to die.

"Then why did he go north?" Cao Cao didn't understand, and said, "Even if he didn't surrender to Yugu, wouldn't he be able to support himself? Going north would not do him any good."

"Your Majesty, don't forget that there is not only one Yuan Xi in Youzhou, but also...the State of Wu!" Xi Zhicai said calmly with a glimmer of light in his eyes.

"He wants to join Wu?" Cao Cao's pupils shrank suddenly when he heard this.

"Now there is only this kind of analysis!"

Xi Zhicai said indifferently: "We are busy in Yecheng, and Wu State is not as leisurely as Jizhou. Under our noses, the tiger's mouth seized its teeth and took down the general of Jin State!"

"What a Ju Yi!"

Cao Cao's eyes flashed a cold light, his brows formed into a word Sichuan, and his tone gradually turned cold: "He would rather go far to the northern border and surrender to Wu than to surrender to Gu. Why is that?"

"Your Majesty, after all, we destroyed the Jin Kingdom with our own hands. This person may have some grudges against Yuan Shao, but he is completely loyal to the Jin Kingdom. This is not an accident!" Xi Zhicai said consolingly.

"Can we intercept him?" Cao Cao was still a little unwilling.

"I'm afraid it's impossible!"

Xi Zhicai shook his head and said, "The battle in Ye City was a waste of our Wei army's last slack. Ju Yi not only had the first to enter the camp, but also tens of thousands of recruits. If we forcibly intercept them, the loss outweighs the gain!"

The Wei army hadn't recovered from the battle at Guandu, and they stormed Yecheng again. They were already exhausted. Unless they defended, the morale of taking the initiative to attack was very low.

"Ju Yi is not only a man of peerless force, but also a rare leader in the army. Let him go, and Gu is very unwilling!" Cao Cao gritted his teeth, and said every word with force.

"My lord, if his heart is not with us, he won't be able to keep it!" Xi Zhicai said: "Besides, we have gained a lot, so we can't be greedy. Now that we have Tian Feng Jushou in our hands, if we can persuade us to surrender, we will definitely be able to let him go." Like a tiger with wings added!"

"The two of them are also two hard bones. These days, it's not like you haven't seen that Gu has been humbled, but they don't want to enter!" Cao Cao smiled wryly.

"It will take some time for Jushou. This person is gentle and refined, but he has a stubborn personality. It won't take him a year or two to grind him down. But Tian Feng's attitude has been relaxed. Back then Yuan Shao sent his family members to prison. It's chilling his heart, as long as we are more patient, we will definitely be able to fall into his arms!"

Xi Zhicai revealed a bright light in his eyes, and said in a low voice.

"I hope they can understand the general situation, otherwise the lonely butcher's knife, even if they don't want to, will fall on their heads one day!" Cao Cao sighed and said calmly.

If you can't use it for yourself, you can't keep it.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will do my best to provide Wei Guoping with these two top talents!" Xi Zhicai promised.

Cao Cao stood up holding the tripod cup, looking at the sunshine outside the hall, and after a while, he asked nonchalantly: "Zhicai, now Qingzhou and Jizhou are all in the hands of the solitary, and the territory of Wei State has doubled. Ru said, Should we move the capital?"

"Relocate the capital?"

When Xi Zhicai heard the words, there was a sharp light in his eyes, and he asked: "Your Majesty wants to move to Yecheng?"

"No!"

Cao Cao shook his head, his eyes were burning hot: "Gu prefers Luoyang City!"

"Luoyang?"

Xi Zhicai was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible. Although we are already rebuilding Luoyang, Guanzhong is the territory of Liang Kingdom after all. Luoyang City bears the brunt of it. A gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall!"

"But if we don't enter the tiger's den, how can we get tiger cubs!"

Cao Cao retorted: "The next step for our State of Wei is to pacify Guanzhong and destroy Liang. At this time, entering Guanzhong is just a gesture. Compared with killing Ma Teng, our more important thing is to regain the hearts of the family in Guanzhong!"

Although the current Guanzhong is under the control of the Liang Kingdom, it is still under the control of several big families in general.

"Your Majesty, you are in a hurry!"

Xi Zhicai gasped. (To be continued.)

[Chapter 657 Sending a coffin? ]

"Your Majesty, I do not agree to move the capital to Luoyang City at this moment!" Cao Cao, who was looking at Xi Zhicai, objected, "If you are so impatient, the gain outweighs the gain for our Wei State!"

He did not object to moving the capital to Luoyang.

At the beginning, the capital city of Xudu was established out of helplessness. Although Xudu had been expanded many times by Wei State, its scale was still not enough to bear the capital of a country, even Yecheng.

But choosing to move the capital at this time is not a good time, which is obviously provoking Liangguo.

"Zhicai, I don't want to be so impatient, but..."

Cao Cao's tall body stood quietly in front of the window of the side hall, letting the breeze outside the window blow the hair on his forehead.

With his hands behind his back, there was a trace of worry on his face: "This is the current situation, we cannot help Wei Guo to take our time, some things have to be taken at risk, if we take half a step slower, I am afraid someone will call us later!"

It's not that he doesn't know that state affairs must be prudent, it's just that he can't help himself in many things.

Doesn't he want to lay the foundation of the Wei State step by step, digest the two prefectures of Qinghai and Hebei in a down-to-earth manner, and wait until the strength of the Wei State is stabilized before planning Guanzhong.

But in the face of Wu Guo, who is in full swing in the south, Wei Guo had to speed up his pace.

"Your Majesty is talking about Wu Kingdom!"

When Xi Zhicai heard this, his face became solemn, and a thick cold light flickered in his pupils.

Wu Guo pacified the northern border in one fell swoop, which was beyond his expectation. It was too fast and too ruthless, and it actually uprooted the Karasuma tribe.

"When Gu has destroyed Yuan Shao, in today's world, besides Sun Zhongmou, who else can be Gu's enemy!" Cao Cao nodded and said arrogantly.

Now the situation in the world is clear, and the future will be a battle between the North and the South!
