Three Kingdoms: At the beginning, Cao Cao assassinated Dong, and I was abandoned

"Xun Yu has been with the lord for a year, and he knows the heart of the lord. The lord has been avoiding the issue of the Han Dynasty. He just wants to win over the hearts of the gentry,"

"However, now that the Han Dynasty is dead, the princes of the world are proclaiming themselves kings and emperors. If the Lord does not act again, I am afraid that the hearts of the soldiers and the nobles of Jizhou will be chilled."

"The lord is the most holy and the brightest, Yao drums and Shun wood, loves the people like a son, hates evil very strictly, loves talents like a thirst, no one can surpass him among the princes, the lord should follow the Qin emperor, wield the emperor's sword, and sweep the six kingdoms, Unify the Central Plains as soon as possible, restore the peace of China, and let the people live and work in peace and contentment."

Cao Shuo looked confused, this Xun Yu would actually persuade himself to become emperor?Could it be that he was moved by his own charm?

However, what Xun Yu said in his letter was exactly what he thought in his heart. Since the biggest problem figures have supported him, there is nothing to worry about.

"Wen'er, call Xun You, Ju Shou, and Xi Zhicai to discuss matters!"

"promise!"

"I'm going to be a princess!"

Zhao Yujiao yelled, feeling a burst of strength suddenly, "Your Majesty, this concubine has been resurrected with full blood."

An hour later, Lu Wen urged again: "Husband, can you hurry up, the adults can't wait."

Cao Shuo hurriedly came to the big tent for the discussion, and passed the letter from Xun Yu to several people to read.

Xun You said: "Lord Wen Ruo is right, my lord, please consider proclaiming emperor as soon as possible!"

Ju Shou said: "The lord should return to Xindu as soon as possible and discuss with all the adults."

Cao Shuo thought about it, Zhang Liao was stationed in Luoyang, and it was enough to leave a general and a counselor to guard against Hangu Pass at all times, and it was time for him to return to Xindu and deal with the matter of proclaiming himself emperor.

"I decided to become the king first, and then I will become the emperor after I level the Central Plains."

"I will respect my lord's opinion."

Cao Shuo asked, "Apart from the two brothers Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao, are there any other movements?"

Xi Zhicai said: "According to the Jinyi Guardian, Liu Biao and Liu Yan are both preparing to become emperors, and they intend to succeed the Han Dynasty and inherit the orthodoxy."

Ju Shou said with a sneer: "The Han family is dead. They are going against the sky. Even if they are forced to continue their lives, they will not last long. When the time comes, both of them claim to be orthodox. Wouldn't it make the world laugh at them?"

Xi Zhicai said meaningfully: "Whether it is orthodox or not depends on whether there is a jade seal. Others cannot be orthodox if they have jade seals. There must be jade seals."

Xun You said: "Yuxi is with Dong Zhuo. If they want to prove themselves, they must go to war with Dong Zhuo. Why don't we help them?"

Cao Shuo nodded and said, "Zhicai, let the Jinyiwei of each prefecture send a message that I have exchanged the jade seal with Dong Zhuo for His Majesty and princes and ministers."

"promise!"

If the news of Yuxi is spread, Liu Biao and Liu Yan will definitely fight for it. Although they are all surnamed Liu, there can be countless kings in this world, but if they want to continue the Han Dynasty, there can only be one Liu.

Ju Shou analyzed: "If Liu Yan wants to attack Dong Zhuo, he will definitely attack from Hanzhong, which can help us attract a lot of troops. Then it may be easier for us to take Hongnong County."

Xi Zhicai reminded: "Liu Bei's ambition is not small, I don't know if he will secretly trip the two of them."

Cao Shuo smiled and said: "Liu Bei will definitely. The conflict between him and Liu Biao's subordinates is irreconcilable. Liu Bei claims to be the clan of the Han family. If Liu Biao becomes the emperor, then Liu Bei will have to be the king anyway. In this way, Liu Biao's subordinates will not be reconciled. The children of the aristocratic family will definitely not be convinced."

Xi Zhicai said: "Yuan Shu is the queen, and Cao Cao has the intention of attacking Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu is definitely not Cao Cao's opponent. I don't know if my lord has thought about how to deal with the relationship with Cao Cao."

Cao Shuo looked perplexed, and he felt a little headache when he thought of this. He came from time travel and had nothing to do with Cao Cao, but he became Cao Cao's son. This kind of relationship is not easy to deal with.

"Send an envoy to Cao Cao, and say that after I become king, I will take over his military power, otherwise, I will meet with swords and soldiers!"

Chapter 303 Liu Ye Helped the Qiao Family Out of Danger

The sounds of fighting outside the door became more and more sparse, and the winner must have been decided soon.

Liu Ye hurriedly asked: "Mr. Qiao, when they come in, have you thought about your speech?"

"I hope Ziyang can give me some advice."

Just now Qiao Rong just said casually, if they really come in, he really has no way to deal with it.

Liu Ye said: "It's easy to deal with people who get married, but if they come again in the future, it will be troublesome."

Qiao Rong said anxiously: "Zi Yang, deal with what is in front of you first."

"In ancient times, there were different regulations on the period of engagement and marriage. The emperor's year, the prince's half a year, the doctor's season, and the common people's month. Yuan Shu has proclaimed himself king, and he should welcome his relatives according to the emperor's ceremony. Sun Ce is a prince, and he should welcome his relatives according to the princes' ceremony. .”

"This...isn't right!"

Qiao Rong looked puzzled, looking at the posture of the person outside the door, it didn't look like he could wait for more than half a year.

They wished they could take him away now, if they really wanted to take him by force, how could they stop them.

Liu Ye said calmly, "Don't be impatient, Mr. Qiao. When someone comes in later, I'll take care of it."

After a while, Sun Ce's marriage team walked in, all of them with bruised noses and swollen faces, which made everyone in the Qiao family laugh and laugh.

"Xu Jiao, the son of Xu Kun, the prefect of Xiadanyang County, met Qiao Gong!"

"Working in Peixuan in Xiadanyang County, I met Duke Qiao!"

Qiao Rong looked surprised. Xu Kun is Sun Jian's nephew and cousin to Sun Ce. Isn't he afraid of being caught by Yuan Shu's people here?

However, what Liu Ye paid attention to was Pei Xuan, who was fickle and liked the sayings of pre-Qin scholars, he was a very difficult person to deal with.

"I already understand the meaning of Mr. Xu's coming here. However, marriage is a major event. How can it be trifling when you are hired for marriage? It is unheard of for a year for the emperor, half a year for princes, a season for doctors, and a month for common people. The marriage is so urgent. Could it be that my daughter Are you marrying a beggar?"

Xu Jiao looked at Pei Xuan with a look of embarrassment, and Pei Xuan explained: "Lujiang is Yuan Shu's territory, if it is delayed for a long time, there may be changes, it is better to move the family to Danyang, and we will discuss it separately."

Qiao Rong looked at Liu Ye begging for help, Liu Ye calmed down and said, "Mr. Pei's suggestion is indeed good, but it is prone to mistakes."

Xu Jiao said displeased, "What's wrong?"

Even his father admired Pei Xuan's ability, and he felt that there was no problem in doing so.

Liu Ye explained: "If only Sun Ce's family received the letter of appointment, there would be no problem. However, now that Yuan Shu has also issued the letter of appointment, there are only a few of you. If you encounter Yuan Shu's army on the road..."

Liu Ye looked at the two meaningfully, and Xu Jiao said confidently, "I'll just kill them."

Liu Ye said with a sneer: "Are you joking, General? How much can you kill alone? What's more, Mr. Qiao has a young family. When he is captured by Yuan Shu, there will be no such thing as welcoming the relatives. Sun Ce can only watch helplessly." Let the two young ladies become Yuan Shu's concubines."

"This……"

Xu Jiao didn't know how to answer. Liu Ye was right. If they really fell into Yuan Shu's hands, they would be regarded as prisoners. Do we still need to go through the process of treating prisoners?

Pei Xuan said: "It's better to let the two ladies go back with us first, and then let Qiao Gong move to Danyang."

Liu Ye said: "Yuan Shu is lenient on the outside and taboo on the inside. If he knows that Mr. Qiao sent his daughter to Danyang, how can the entire Qiao family be saved?"

Pei Xuan said in embarrassment: "Then what should be done according to Mr.

Liu Ye said: "Go back as soon as possible and bring your troops here, at least 3000 people are needed, otherwise, you may not be able to get out of Lujiang County!"

Xu Jiao said in horror: "Yuan Shu's army is guarding the banks of the Yangtze River. We all sneaked in here secretly. How can we lead the army across the river?"

Liu Ye sarcastically said: "I heard that Sun Ce's navy is invincible and omnipotent on the Yangtze River. Could it be that even the small Anhui River can't get in?"

"This……"

Xu Jiao and Pei Xuan looked surprised. This is definitely a great sage. If they can join Jiangdong, their strength will definitely improve a lot.

"Sir, would you like to be an official in Jiangnan?" Xu Jiao looked at Liu Ye sincerely.

Liu Ye smiled and said, "I'm used to idle clouds and wild cranes."

Liu Ye would not tell them that he is the magistrate of Lujiang County, otherwise they would never believe his words.

"Then let's go back and prepare!"

Qiao Rong sent the two of them outside the mansion, and reminded: "You should hurry up, otherwise things will change!"

"Qiao Gong also pack your luggage as soon as possible, we will notify you in advance when the time comes!"

Qiao Rong returned to the mansion, looked at Liu Ye with a smile, and said, "Zi Yang, what should we do next?"

Liu Ye said: "I have already told the prefect that Cao Cao had the motive of attacking Lujiang County. The prefect gave me [-] soldiers and horses to be stationed in Lu'an County. Now, when I go north to Jizhou, come with me to Jizhou."

Qiao Rong thought for a while, neither Yuan Shu nor Sun Ce had the appearance of an emperor, only Cao Shuo of Jizhou, who dominates the north, has a lot of famous men under his command, Jizhou has now become the first place for hermits to consider.

It would be great if I could go to Jizhou with Liu Ye.

"Zi Yang, if you offend Cao Cao, will there be any problem if we pass through Cao Cao's territory?"

Qiao Rong looked at Liu Ye worriedly, and Liu Ye explained: "Don't worry, Mr. Qiao, I have my own way to deal with it."

Chapter 304 Yangquan Offensive and Defensive Battle, Liu Ye's Wisdom Fights Xia Houyuan

Liu Ye was afraid that Yuan Shu would order Liu Xun to take Qiao Rong's family captive to Shouchun, so he asked Qiao Rong to move out of Wan County overnight, and returned to Lu'an with him.

"My lord, the Prime Minister, Cao Cao's army has already begun to cross the Huai River."

Fifty miles south of the Huaihe River, in the camp of Liao County, Liu Ye was discussing with generals Le Jiu, Liang Gang, and Huang Yi on how to build fortifications when the scouts heard the movement of Cao Cao's army.

Liu Ye ordered: "General Huang Yi, you order all the defenders along the Huaihe River to withdraw to the city!"

Huang Yi was puzzled and said, "Retreat if you don't fight?"

Liu Ye explained: "At this time, confronting Cao's army head-on will only increase casualties. I have my own clever plan to retreat from the enemy, and you officers and men will act according to the plan."

Huang Yi didn't ask too much anymore, Liu Xun handed over the command to Liu Ye, and he had to obey orders.

Liu Ye looked at a lieutenant general and said, "Deputy General Ji, you and two thousand soldiers will stop the irrigation near the mall and wait for my order."

"promise!"

"Deputy General Qi, you will lead two thousand soldiers to stop the water in the south of Yulou, and wait for my order."

"promise!"

"Liang Gang, you ordered Yangquan to guard the general and transferred the people in the city to Anfeng City. Then you led [-] soldiers and hid in the woods south of Yangquan. After the other army crossed the Huai River, they would definitely camp first and then attack the city. ,"

"When the night is quiet, you lead the army to sneak attack the camp, but don't contact the other generals, just burn their food, grass and weapons. After that, retreat to Yangquan City and wait for further instructions."

"promise!"

Liu Ye looked at Le and said, "General Le, to the north of Liao County, there is a forest twenty miles north of the irrigation water bank. When the opponent enters the forest and sets fire to the mountain, Cao Jun will definitely be defeated."

"promise!"

Liu Ye continued: "After burning down the forest, you lead the army to camp on the other side of the river and wait for my orders."

"promise!"

Xia Houyuan led an army of [-] to cross the Huai River. When he saw Yuan Shu's soldiers on the other side of the river, he fled in panic and laughed loudly.

"Just this group of trash, dare to follow Yuan Shu to become king?"

The lieutenants behind Xia Houyuan were also ridiculed. My lord asked Yangquan to be captured within half a month, and this situation took ten days at most.

Xia Houyuan's marching master reminded: "General, the defenders along the Huaihe River have all withdrawn to Yangquan. The defenders in Yangquan have surged to as many as [-]. It is not appropriate to storm the city."

Xia Houyuan said disdainfully: "A group of mobs will first set up camp two miles outside the city to intimidate the enemy, and start attacking the city tomorrow morning."

"Camp two miles away?" The master was horrified, since ancient times, he had never heard of anyone who would dare to camp two miles outside the city.

Xia Houyuan explained: "My nephew Cao Shuo used this strategy when he first attacked Youzhou. With the huge difference in strength, it can better deter the enemy and make them fearful and surrender without a fight."

The master wiped off a cold sweat, that's Cao Shuo, let's not take such a risk.

"General, I feel that this is inappropriate."

Xia Houyuan said: "I am the commander in chief. If something goes wrong, I will be blamed. Yangquan guard Wu Gang is not a general. Even if he dares to leave the city, I can kill him with one blow."

In the middle of the night, although Xia Houyuan thought that the other side might sneak attack on the camp, he ordered his soldiers to keep an eye on the four gates of Yangquan, and if there was any movement, he would notify the camp.

However, there was no movement in the city, and Liang Gang, who was hiding in the woods outside the city, seized the opportunity.

Taking advantage of the darkness, Liang Gang bypassed Yangquan County and quietly came outside Xiahouyuan's camp, "Fire the rocket, and the cavalry will kill me!"

"kill!"

The sudden shout of killing awakened the sleeping Xia Houyuan instantly, "Where did the bandits come from? Why didn't the scouts from Yangquan County come to report?"

"Puff puff!"

Numerous rockets were shot into the camp, and soon a raging fire was ignited. Xia Houyuan led the soldiers to defend against the enemy while organizing the soldiers to rescue them.

Fighting until dawn, Liang Gang led his soldiers to withdraw into the city. Xia Houyuan outside the city looked depressed. He lost nearly 4000 soldiers in this sneak attack. Burnt clean.

The soldiers only have three days of rations left on them. If Yangquan cannot be captured within three days, then his army will be defeated without a fight.

"Siege!"

Xia Houyuan had no choice but to make a dangerous move and attack Yangquan within three days.

The marching chief advised: "General, this group of enemy troops did not come from the city. Now there are nearly 4 soldiers and horses in the city. A storming the city will cause heavy losses."
