Chapter 599: Alone to Chang'an
Cao Cao really said what he said, and soon released those Chen Liuhao clans, and half a month later, more than half of them moved to Jizhou with their families one after another.

Chen Liu's celebration banquet can be called killing three birds with one stone, which not only shocked the people and wealthy families of Chen Liu, but also caused panic to the princes around Chen Liu, because this celebration banquet Cao Cao ordered his generals to bring troops to come, whether it was Zhang Yang nearby, Zhang Ji, or Yuan Shao, Liu Biao, and Liu Bei, who were farther away, didn't know what Cao Cao's next move was, they could only wait and see while increasing troops on the border, and Lu Bu even ordered Zhang Liao and Gao Shun to attack Juancheng on a small scale, but this time Cao Cao was no longer as defenseless as last year, and Zhang Liao and Gao Shun were just tentative attacks, so the two armies retreated after a simple confrontation outside Pengcheng.
"Feng Xiao's strategy is good, and sure enough, as soon as this move came out, it tested the attitude of the princes around Yanzhou towards us!" In the Chen Liu's meeting hall, Cao Cao sat on the ground with everyone and praised Guo Jia's cleverness.
Guo Jia said with a smile: "Thank you for the praise of the lord, the lord's every move now can affect the attention of the surrounding princes so much, which shows that they no longer dare to underestimate the lord!"
"This kind of trick of pulling up the banner and making a tiger skin can hide it from others for a while, other people's camps are not all fools, if they know that there are no troops stationed in the eastern part of Yanzhou now, you know what will happen to you!" Gao Yi's voice came from above everyone.
"Let me explain Yang, it's not like there is no place for you to sit on this ground, even if you want to hide from my family, you don't need to go to such a high place, right?" Cao Cao raised his head and looked speechlessly at Gao Yidao, who was lying on a beam more than two feet high and holding a wooden stick in his mouth.
"Who said I was hiding from your girl!" Gao Yi pouted, but after saying this, he saw Cao Cao's eldest son Cao Ang coming in from outside, and hurriedly made a silent gesture to Cao Cao and the others.
"Father, have you seen that Gao Yi, why can't you find him after a while?" Cao Ang asked Cao Cao as soon as he came in with an ugly face.
Cao Cao wanted to laugh but had to hold back, so he had to pretend to cough: "Ahem, I don't know, this guy is not a human, you can't understand him with ordinary people's thinking, sometimes he is far away in the sky, sometimes he may be close in front of him, for example, where ordinary people can't go, he may go!"
Gao Yi was shocked: "Okay, senior brother, it's really my own family, and I can even sell my friends for my son!"
Cao Ang was even more angry: "What are you hiding all day long, come down for me!"
Gao Yi smiled: "You have the ability to come up!"
"You come down!"
"You come up!"
Cao Cao coughed and said, "Enough is enough, we are still discussing important secrets, you two are going to go out and have fun!"
Cao Ang turned his head: "Who is playing with this kind of person?"
Gao Yi also disdainfully said: "My time is very precious, but I don't have time to play with children, flash!"
"You! Who is a child, I'm only a few years younger than you!" Cao Ang's cheeks were so angry that he was about to scold Gao Yi a few words back, when he looked up and saw that there was no one on the roof beam, "Come back to me!"
"Hehe, after all, it's a child, and the playfulness doesn't change!" Cao Cao laughed a few times and said to everyone in the room, "Let's continue!"
Xun Yu said: "I think what the lord said is good, now that the purpose of our army to divert the attention of other princes has been achieved, others must think that our army is going to attack Luoyang on a large scale, Zhang Ji and Zhang Yang have continued to increase troops to Jingzhao Yin and Henan Yin, Li Dao and Guo Yan seem to have some contradictions, Jia Xu has not moved there, but Dong Zhao wrote to say that Zhang Yang has no intention of starting a war with us, but I am afraid that it will be a little later, and the situation will be different!"
Cheng Yu said: "What does Wen Ruo think!"
Xun Yu said: " Let the guards from all over Yanzhou bring the troops back to the garrison, and declare to the outside world that we are just holding a celebration banquet for the military and the people in Chenliu, but in fact, only let the generals only bring half of the men and horses back, and the other half of the men and horses left are less than 20,000 people, but if they are well hidden, they can be used as a surprise army to quickly capture the first line of Xingyang Bishui Tiger Prison Luoyang, strive for publicity, and at the same time show favor to Zhang Ji, let these two princes fight each other at the right time, we just sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman, and when they are inextricably fought, it is estimated that Li Dao and Guo Yan will also begin to make trouble, Jia Xu is a smart man, he must know what to do!”
Cao Cao nodded: "Wen Ruo is right, withdraw half of the men, so that our army stationed in Chenliu will be no more and no less, so that we can not only dispel the concerns of other princes, but also win many allies, but all the premise is that we can't cause chaos in Yanzhou!"
Guo Jia said: "Although this lord can rest assured, our meticulous work in Xuzhou has been reciprocated, the relationship between Liu Bei and Lu Bu has deteriorated, Yuan Yao is very unconvinced that Liu Bei occupies Xuzhou, so he secretly wooed Lu Bu, although Lu Bu did not agree, and showed Yuan Yao's letter to Liu Bei, on the surface, the relationship between the two is like brothers, in fact, Liu Bei is already guarding against Lu Bu, I heard that Liu Bei's brother Zhang Fei will find Lu Bu's ballast every three or five times, this time the reason why Lu Bu no longer attacks us with all his strength is also because he is afraid that Liu Bei will give himself a knife in his back!"
Cao Cao smiled: "Yes, the enemy's bad news is our good news, but I am still a little worried about Yuan Shao in the north, I am sure that Yuan Shao will not attack Yanzhou in person, but it is difficult to guarantee that his shrewd subordinates will not do this, if someone cuts first and then plays, then I can only knock out the front teeth and swallow it in my stomach!"
Cheng Yu said: "The lord is too worried, it is impossible to say that Yuan Shao does not want to swallow our Yanzhou, but at least now he is powerless!"
Cao Cao was surprised: "How do you say this?"
Cheng Yu said: "I'm from Dong'a, and I also have the latest information to report to you, the lord of Dongjun, Zang Hong of Dongjun is jealous of Yuan Shao's reason for not rescuing him, so he broke off contact with Yuan Shao, and just announced his separation from Jizhou and wants to confront Yuan Shao!"
As soon as Cheng Yu said this, everyone was shocked: "Is this guy Zang Hong crazy? How can he confront Yuan Shao's huge Jizhou in a mere eastern county?"
"That's how I persuaded him!" Cheng Yu said, "The avenue of history, the mighty and mighty, those who go along with it prosper, and those who go against it die, I don't mean that Yuan Shao represents the right path of history, but Zang Hong's approach is obviously irrational, but his reply is only one sentence: 'The righteous, the foundation of my life, ruthless and unrighteous, although he is born'!"
"Hey!" Cao Cao sighed, "He is also a man, a righteous man, but he shouldn't have been born in this era, and I respect him, otherwise I wouldn't have let Mingyang leave him a way to live when he ambushed him on the north bank of the Yellow River." ”
Xiahou said: "We used to be the Taishou of Dongjun, but I asked myself if my political talent was less than one-ten-thousandth of his, can you watch a great talent like Meng De die?"
"I can't!" Cao Cao smiled bitterly, "But I know that his friend Zhang Chao died because of me, he will never forgive me, even if he saves him, he will not serve me for the rest of his life, I think this very clearly, and besides, helping Zang Hong, isn't it equivalent to being an open enemy of Yuan Shao?"
Guo Jia said: "The lord is right, we can't be enemies with Yuan Shao, but one thing is very clear, Zang Hong's men and horses have more than 10,000 people, as long as there is no traitor, Yuan Shao will take a year to get rid of him at the earliest, right?"
Xiahou said: "I don't dare to agree with what Mr. Guo Jia meant, wouldn't Yuan Shao fight a protracted battle with Zang Hong while dividing his troops to force the Yellow River to attack our Yanzhou?
Cao Cao shook his head and said: "There is no such possibility, with my understanding of Yuan Shao, he is a person who pursues perfection, if he attacks a place, the premise must be that there are no people who disobey him in his own territory, there is a nail, even if it is inconspicuous, he will do his best to pull it out first, so I can conclude that Yuan Shao will definitely use all his forces to besiege Zang Hong!"
Xun Yu said: "That's right, we don't have to worry about Yuan Shao raiding Yanzhou!"
"Since Chen Liu doesn't have any major events here, then I should also leave for Chang'an!" Gao Yi walked in from outside at this time and said to Cao Cao and the others.
"What, Mingyang, you're going to Chang'an?" Cao Cao was surprised.
Gao Yi had expected Cao Cao to have such a reaction, so he said without hesitation: "Yes, Guo Jia's idea of coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes is very good, but no matter how good the idea is, someone needs to do it, since we can't use force now, then let me do something dark, right?"
Cao Cao was even more surprised: "Mingyang, what do you mean?"
Gao Yi said: "Secretly rescue the Son of Heaven from Chang'an!"
Cao Cao said thoughtfully: "Is this feasible?"
Gao Yi nodded and said: "Now the people of the entire Chang'an are very dissatisfied with the tyranny of Li Dao and Guo Yan, and they are full of complaints, and the people can afford to look up to me Gao Yi, if I can go to Li Dao and Guo Yan now, my brother's plan to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes should be realized in advance!"
Cao Cao hesitated: "The problem is that although the people have a high voice and evaluation of you, Li Dao and Guo Yan will not, they are extremely disrespectful to the Han family, will it help if you show up?"
Gao Yi said: "Isn't there still Jia Xu, and Princess Wannian?"
Guo Jia and Xun Yu also persuaded: "Not bad, lord, this is not a good way!"
"Then be careful!" Cao Cao finally made up his mind.
"Then senior brother, take care!" Gao Yi saluted everyone in the council hall and went out.
Cao Cao and everyone were sent out of the door, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Mingyang is really unlucky, he is so old and bears the heavy responsibility of stabilizing the world!"
Guo Jia smiled: "Isn't this his luck, if he does, what chance will he have to get to know us characters?"
Xun Yu said: "The generals should also be ready to leave for their respective lands, Cao Gong, you'd better go back to Juancheng, Xu Ling Ren Jun and Dong A Ling Zao Fei Pigeon passed the book to develop a method of tuntian, which can not only reclaim wasteland, but also make use of the displaced people, busy farming, military training in leisure time, grain harvest after the treasury, they have achieved certain results in Xu and Dong'e, so the lord to Juancheng to discuss the plan of this kind of tuntian method in the whole Yanzhou!"
"Oh, there is such a good thing!" As soon as he heard that it could solve the long-term problem of grain and grass, Cao Cao's eyes suddenly lit up, "Okay, Chen Liu's place will be handed over to Cao Hong, Xiahou and Wen Ruo first, and the rest of the people will follow me back to Juancheng!"
