Chapter 579: Sacrifice
Lao Cao must have smoked on the ancestral grave, Hebei was defeated, Juye County of Shanyang County was beaten by Yuan Yao of the Huainan Army, and the two large armies forced Xu Du, seeing that Lao Cao was about to be beaten to death by two large and small monkey training groups. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Over there, Yuan Yao Xiao'er was afraid of pretending to be cannon fodder, and the big monkey Yuan Datou Yuan Shao was even more bent on finding a shortcut and was flattened outside Xu Capital by Cao Cao's plan, even so, Yuan Shao still had the capital to knock down with Cao **, and the result of such a death was nothing more than Yuan Shao's serious injury and Cao Cao's destruction, but unfortunately our Yuan Datou Yuan Benchu General was tired, Xun Cen's death and loss to Cao Cao again and again, so that Yuan Shao was really disheartened.
So Lao Cao escaped again.
Yuan Shao's Hebei army still had more than 60,000 men and horses, so he went in the direction of Hebei with such a disgraced face
The 200,000-strong army marched south to Yanzhou, came in high spirits, and finally left in despair.
Similarly, the grain and grass brought by Yuan Shao's army was enough for the 250,000 army, and in the end, except for the rest that could be taken away, it was burned by Hebei.
"Heaven killing Yuan Benchu, God killing Yuan Benchu, don't give it to me, give it to me!" After Lao Cao learned that Yuan Shao burned the rest of the grain and grass that could not be taken away with him with a big fire, Lao Cao was distressed, he was really full and didn't know that the hungry man was hungry, this rich young master is different.
He Cao Cao has won Yuan Shao so many times, but now you let Cao Cao take out not to mention 200,000 troops, even if it is 150,000 troops, Cao Cao can't afford it.
But Yuan Shao over there can burn all the fire, this is the difference.
However, Cao Cao was more ecstatic than angry.
He was really afraid that Yuan Shao would lose his red eyes, and if he had the idea of dragging him down with him if he died, then Cao Cao would cry.
Yuan Shao lost so badly and there were 60,000 troops, he Cao Cao was full of less than 20,000, what else to defend?
Knowing that Yuan Shao had retreated, Cao Cao could be regarded as able to breathe a sigh of relief, "Pass on my military orders, send scout troops and me to follow Yuan Shao's army cautiously, don't let them come up with tricks." "Our classmate Cao Heizi is still afraid that Yuan Shao will come back and forth, and that fun will be great.
"My lord!" Guo Jia over there said to Cao Cao on the table, "Lord, either you don't send troops, or if you want to send troops, you have to do your best!" Let General Cao Chun take the tiger and leopard cavalry, plus transfer cavalry from those private soldiers of the scholar clan to form a force of no less than 5,000 soldiers and horses to investigate the movements of Yuan Shaojun! Guo Jia said to Cao Cao, Cao Chun's tiger and leopard cavalry also suffered heavy losses, and the 5,000 army was only less than 3,000, so it needed to be transferred from other soldiers and horses.
"Then transfer auxiliary troops to supplement General Xiahou Yuan's Shenxing army, and also send out the city to press towards Yuan Shao's camp on the flank!" Guo Jia continued.
"Send the Tiger and Leopard Riders and the Divine March?" Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, "Fengxiao, if this Yuan Shao Pifu misunderstands our army and turns around and starts a war with our army, my soldiers and horses can't fight!" "Whether it is the tiger and leopard cavalry or the divine marching army, it is as strong as the end, there is no power to fight anymore, it must be rested, and then sent out, once Yuan Shao turns the direction and fights back, this divine marching army and the tiger and leopard cavalry will be given to Yuan Shao to eat.
"Don't worry, lord!" Guo Jia continued to speak with great confidence, "Lord, since Yuan Shao chose to retreat, it means that he doesn't know much about the reality of our army, if you only send some scout troops to investigate cautiously, with Yuan Shao's intentions, then you will inevitably be suspicious, once Yuan Shao turns around to spy on us, then our army will not be able to eat and go around!" "Cao Cao's army is in its current state, don't your family know about their own family? It's not so much a victory, it's a miserable victory, I'm afraid that Yuan Shao will find out Cao Cao's reality.
"And if our army is exhausted, Yuan Shao will inevitably panic and think that our army wants to take advantage of the victory to pursue, and then Yuan Shao will only go faster, and will no longer have excellent ideas to spy on our army!"
What does Guo Jia mean? This is completely intimidating Yuan Shao, bluffing, making Yuan Shao think that Cao Cao may attack at any time, Yuan Shao will only think about how to retreat to Hebei in a panic, how can he still think about spying on Cao's army, and then counterattack!
"Is that possible? I'm afraid that if I push my junior brother too hard, he will jump off the wall in a hurry! Cao Cao said a little uneasy,
"No, lord, if Xun Cen is still in our army, you have to be careful, but now that Xun Cen has gone, Yuan Shao is left with Guo Tu and others, if only Guo Tu or the trial can still pose a threat to our army, but once the two of them are together, then hehe!" Guo Jia said with a smile.
If you are not afraid of a god-like opponent, you are afraid of a pig-like teammate, and it is not a matter of one plus one equals two when you are with Guo Tu, but a positive one plus a negative one, which is directly equal to zero, and even drags down the entire Hebei army.
It doesn't play a positive role for Yuan Shao at all.
"Good!" Cao Cao listened to Guo Jia's words: "Then everything will be according to what Fengxiao said to you!" Where is Cao Chun Xiahou Yuan! Cao Cao issued an order to his subordinates.
"The last general!" Cao Chun and Xiahou Yuan stood up.
"I believe you have heard the words of the military advisor, you two, select soldiers and horses from all the various armies, everything will be used with you first, Cao Chun, you set off first and gather five thousand troops to hang behind Yuan Shao's army, Xiahou Yuan, you wait for half an hour and then set off, from the flanks to make a trend towards Yuan Shao's army, remember not to fight on a large scale, in case our military aircraft are revealed, once the Hebei army withdraws, the Shenxing army will be stationed in Cangting Guandu to block the intersection of Yuan Shao's southward again! Cao Chun, you will ride back directly with the tiger and leopard. ”
"The last general commands!" Cao Chun and Xiahou Yuan each obeyed Cao Cao's orders and left.
As the saying goes, once he was bitten by a snake for ten years, he was afraid of the well rope, Yuan Shao was really scared by Cao Cao, and as Guo Jia explained, Yuan Shao was still a little hesitant, because Hao Shao's various abilities were revealed, Yuan Shao was very optimistic about Hao Shao, thinking that he was another general sent to them by God in Hebei after the original Hebei Siting Pillar.
So Yuan Shao also called Hao Shao into the camp from time to time to countermeasures, but he was happy, Hao Shao mentioned many times that Cao Cao was just bluffing, although he won, it was also a tragic victory, and he analyzed Cao Cao's current dynamics for Yuan Shao from all aspects, hoping that Yuan Shao could turn around and continue to fight with Cao **.
Seeing that Yuan Shao also had a little bit of an idea, suddenly there was news that Cao Cao had transferred the tiger and leopard from Xu Du and attacked his army directly, Yuan Shao suddenly panicked.
"Tiger and leopard riding?" Yuan Shao immediately called the people who delivered the newspaper in front into the Chinese military camp.
"Are you sure you're right? That's a tiger and leopard ride? ”
"It's true, my lord, the banner they are flying is the banner of the tiger and leopard riding!"
"Impossible!" Hao Shao vetoed it without thinking about it, the tiger and leopard cavalry is Lao Cao's trump card troops, which is good, but also in the battle half a month ago, although the Jizhou iron cavalry suffered heavy losses, it also brought huge damage to the tiger and leopard cavalry, and the current tiger and leopard cavalry has no combat effectiveness at all, Cao Cao actually sent the tiger and leopard cavalry out?
"General Hao Shao won't be wrong, the commander of the tiger and leopard cavalry is Cao Cao's clan brother Cao Chun, the younger one has fought with the tiger and leopard cavalry under the command of General Zhang He's first camp, and he has also seen that Cao Chun!" Generally, the scouts of the first army are elite, this person once stayed in the Hebei ace army first camp, and it was those soldiers who did not want to stay in Huainan who returned to Hebei with Xun Cen, and the first camp was gone, so it was naturally added to the scout army.
"Lord, this is bound to be Cao Cao's traitor's bluff strategy, the tiger and leopard cavalry has long had no combat effectiveness, and the one that comes out now must be fake, lord, the last general will ask for battle!" Hao Shao said to Yuan Shao, if it is an established tiger and leopard cavalry army, Hao Shao may not be an opponent, but you are incomplete, and you are still making up, Hao Shao is not afraid at all, this is completely the credit of sending it to the door, not only that, if he Hao Shao can destroy the so-called tiger and leopard cavalry elite in one battle, then the lord Yuan Shao can immediately change his mind and turn around and continue to attack Xu Du.
"Good!" Yuan Shao was just about to say a good word, because he wanted to give Hao Shao a little face, and besides, Hao Shao had an army of 10,000 under him, even if he lost him, Yuan Shao could afford to lose it, 140,000 were gone, do you still care about such an army of 10,000.
"Report, report, report!" Another herald ran in.
"What?"
"Lord Qiqi, the enemy Xiahou Yuan and his subordinates are marching towards the flank of our army!" Another piece of news came.
"Our flanks?" Yuan Shao was at a loss now, this front is Cao Cao's tiger and leopard riding on this side, Cao Cao took pictures of the Shenxing Army again, what does this Cao Cao old thief want to do.
"Lord, this Cao Cao wants to keep us in Yanzhou!" Lord Guo Tu over there spoke directly
"Want to keep my army in Yanzhou?" Yuan Shao began to panic again, this was the end of being scared by Lao Cao.
"Retreat, immediately, retreat!" Yuan Shao's fear of Cao's sequelae came.
"Lord, now is a good opportunity to annihilate Cao Cao's divine march and tiger and leopard riding." Hao Shao shouted unwillingly over there.
"You know what!" Yuan Shao's voice increased, "I have been friends with that old thief Cao Cao since childhood, and he Cao Cao will not fight an unprepared battle." He dared to send out both the Divine Marching Army and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and there would inevitably be soldiers and horses behind! I can't take any chances, pass on my military order, and retreat immediately! Speed up the retreat! ”
"The lord's heavy camp has materials with him, he can't get up quickly!" Someone on the side said persuasively.
"There is a lot of baggage, and I will lose everything I can lose, can I still eat without you when I return to Hebei?" Yuan Shao asked rhetorically.
"Evacuate, retreat!" Yuan Shao and Yuan Datou's retreat is hundreds of miles down, and even the baggage troops over there are not wanted. Not to mention what Hao Shao said, he went to war with Cao Cao's army.
Cao Chun's tiger and leopard cavalry has been hanging behind Yuan Shao's army, so angry that Hao Shao over there is itchy teeth, and he wanted to organize soldiers and horses to fight several times, but Cao Chun was avoiding the battle again.
This further confirmed Hao Shao's idea that Cao Cao was simply bluffing.
After a few days of hard work, Yuan Shao's Hebei army was called fast, even Xiahou Yuan's divine marching army was ashamed of itself, and the divine marching army traveled hundreds of miles a day, and Yuan Shao's Hebei army did not use three days of hard work to run to the edge of the Yellow River in one go.
You must know that the closest place to Xudu from the Yellow River is more than 300 miles.
Guandu Cangting or something, Yuan Shao said don't want it, let Cao Cao in the back pick up a big bargain.
Cao Cao first asked Xiahou Yuan to station in Guandu with the Divine Marching Army, and then asked Cao Ren to prevent some auxiliary soldiers and horses from going to Guandu to change defenses, and Cao Cao did not dare to use the first-line elite to defend Guandu, because he still had someone to deal with.
The Chang'an generation in the west was also as Cao Cao expected, Chang'an City was lost to Ma Teng over there, and the Zhong family was stubbornly guarding Tongguan, making it difficult for Ma Teng to advance at all.
Cao Cao was about to prepare to transfer troops and horses to Tongguan to pacify Ma Teng, but was stopped by Guo Jia and others.
"Lord, Xiliang Ma Teng and Pifu are not afraid at all, if our army goes to deal with Ma Teng now, it will really be abandoned!" Guo Jiaxunyu and others said to Cao Cao.
"Yes, my lord, the top priority of our army now is to recuperate, in case Yuan Yao is younger, not to go to Chang'an to pacify Ma Teng!" Xun Yu also thinks the same way.
"But Feng Xiaowenruo, you two also know that I now have 20,000 troops left in my main force, and if I don't get supplements, I won't be able to deal with Yuan Yao'er at all!" It turned out that Cao Cao meant that Ma Teng was a big piece of fat meat, and it was not enough evidence at all, and he sent troops to bite a piece of meat from Ma Teng over there.
There are a lot of Xiliang cavalry in Ma Teng's hands, although Ma Teng is strong and strong, but the strategists are crooked melons and cracked dates, which is easier to deal with than dealing with Yuan Shao, he Cao Cao wants to fight to raise the war, if he can subdue Ma Teng, it is the best, so that he Cao Cao can get Ma Teng's hundreds of thousands of troops for nothing.
"It's not impossible for the lord to recover Ma Teng, but the lord goes to Chang'an like this, and the time is not short, if Yuan Yao'er sends troops like this, what can he do? What's more, why should the lord go far and near? Guo Jia said to Cao Cao.
"Huh?" Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia.
Two words came out of Guo Jia's mouth, Cao Cao's face was overjoyed, but Xun Yu on the side showed a worried look.
"Wen Ruo, this is also a matter of no choice, if you don't use the means, let alone Yuan Yao'er, I'm afraid this Xu Capital City will soon change color!" Guo Jia comforted Xun Yu on the side.
Xun Yu could only sigh, and said to Cao Cao on the table, "Lord, I hope that the lord's subordinates will be merciful!" ”
"Don't worry, Wen Ruo, I only ask for soldiers, not for life!" Cao Cao promised to Xun Yu.
On the same day, Cao Cao convened the civil ministers and military generals of the entire Yanzhou at the Prime Minister's Mansion in Xudu to start the discussion.
"What, my lord, you want to go to the rooftop and sacrifice?" When the civil and military forces in Yanzhou heard the news, they were immediately dumbfounded.
Tiantai, this is a place that will be cast after the establishment of every Jiangshan Sheji, as the saying goes, Tiantai is actually a high-rise building located in an open area, which is used to worship the ancestors of heaven and earth, for the ancients, the emperor is the son of heaven, is the son of God, and naturally wants to build a rooftop and communicate with him at any time.
For example, the edict of sin, such as the enshrinement of Zen and the sacrifice of ancestors, etc., are all held on the rooftop!
But these people who went to preside over the sacrifice were all emperors.
Only the emperor, known as the Son of Heaven, can be qualified to communicate with his heavenly father on the rooftop.
And now Cao Cao, such a great Han prime minister, is going to sacrifice instead of the Han Emperor, isn't this a passover?
"Prime Minister, don't!" The twentieth grandson of Master Confucius, Kong Rong jumped out, "It is a sacred thing for the prime minister to sacrifice to Han Zu, and only His Majesty the Han Emperor has this possibility to ascend to the rooftop and pray to the heavens!" Prime Minister, how can you, as a minister, get on the rooftop? ”
"Yes, it is something that His Majesty can only do to go to the sky to worship Han Zu, how can I, Cao and an outsider, be able to sacrifice Han Zu!" Prime Minister Cao Cheng seemed to take a step back, and actually agreed with Kong Rong's words over there.
The emperor party below couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, they thought that Cao Cao was compromising with them, but they didn't know that Lao Cao was retreating as advancing.
Sure enough, Cao Cao over there soon changed his expression: "But I didn't go to the rooftop like this to worship Han Zu!" ”
"Not to sacrifice Han Zu?" Some people are confused, isn't it to sacrifice Hanzu to sacrifice to heaven?
"Prime Minister Cao, this sacrifice to heaven is not something you can do, Prime Minister." Kong Rong continued to choke Cao Cao over there.
"Who said I was going to sacrifice to heaven?" Cao Cao asked rhetorically and looked at Kong Rong. Cao Cao looked at the group of scholars and emperors who were shouting behind Kong Rong, and his eyes narrowed.
"This prime minister ascended to the sky like this, not to sacrifice Han Zu, but to sacrifice my soldiers who died in Hebei for Yanzhou and the people of the whole world, and died outside the city of Xu in Huainan!" Cao Cao stole grain and changed the concept of changing pillars.
"Sacrifice those soldiers who died in battle?" The group of imperial parties below were dumbfounded, it is true that those soldiers in Yanzhou also had hundreds of thousands of people who died before and after the war for Yanzhou, and these hundreds of thousands of them are hundreds of thousands of households in Yanzhou, and they are also hundreds of thousands of families. Do you dare to stop Cao Cao? If Cao Cao is stopped, he is completely on the opposite side of the people.
"Still not!" Boss Kong jumped out again, "Prime Minister Cao, it's okay for you to sacrifice those soldiers who died in battle, but you must not be on the rooftop!" ”
"Why not?" Cao Cao squinted his eyes and asked Kong Rong,
"Because you don't deserve it!" Kong Rong was not afraid of Cao Cao at all, and looked at Cao Cao confronted.
With Cao Cao taking the lead, the scholars below also jumped up, "Yes, Prime Minister Cao, only His Majesty the Han Emperor has the qualifications to climb the rooftop, without His Majesty's order, Prime Minister Cao, you are not qualified to go up!" ”
"Really? You all think so? Cao Cao smiled and asked the group of scholar officials below. Whoever else, come out! ”
Soon, a group of people stood up behind Kong Rong, all of whom knelt down with fists in front of Cao Cao and shouted, although they were all kneeling, they were not so respectful to Cao Cao.
"Evil Zhongkang, have you seen it?" Cao Cao pointed to the group of scholars led by Kong Rong below and scolded, "It's them, it's them, you are desperately killing the enemy on the battlefield, putting life and death aside on the battlefield, for the sake of them, now that you are dead in battle, Yanzhou is saved, can't I Cao even sacrifice someone?" ”
Cao Cao's words made the generals below full of righteous indignation, they killed the enemy on the battlefield, these warriors made profits behind their backs, and now they shed all their blood, but they didn't get the due reward, how could they be convinced.
"Not good!" Kong Rong looked at the generals in Yanzhou over there all glaring angrily at them, and knew in his heart that something was wrong.
Old man Kong is not a political idiot, at the beginning, he was purely righteous and had no place to vent, but now he is watching Cao Cao steal the beams and change the pillars, what is it called them organizing Cao Cao to sacrifice those soldiers who died in battle?
That was completely why they organized Cao Cao to go to the rooftop to worship, but now he was replaced by Lao Cao.
Kong Rong believes that once today's events come out, then the whole Yanzhou will be in an uproar, the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who died in the war represent hundreds of thousands of families, and they are also the hearts of the people of Yanzhou, once the hearts of the people are gone, who will listen to them?
"Refer to a deer as a horse!" Kong Rong looked at Cao Cao over there and gritted his teeth and said this word, isn't Lao Cao the same as Zhao Gao at the beginning? Zhao Gao wanted to rebel (usurp the power of the Qin Dynasty), but he was afraid that the ministers would not listen to him, so he first set a trap and tried to test it. So he brought a deer and offered it to the II, saying, "This is a horse." The second smiled and said, "The prime minister is wrong, right?" You say that a deer is a horse. "Ask the ministers around him, some of the ministers on the left and right are silent, some deliberately cater to Zhao Gao saying that it is a horse, and some say that it is a deer, and Zhao Gao is secretly slandering (or framing) those who say it is a deer under the pretense of the law. After that, the ministers were afraid of Zhao Gao. And now Cao Cao uses a rooftop to pick out all those scholars who are against Lao Cao.
And at the beginning, Lao Cao let the name of the discussion be to distribute the spoils, so basically all the scholars with military power entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, and now they have been wiped out by Lao Cao.
"Evil comes to Zhongkang, don't you still do it?" Cao Cao continued to say indifferently.
"You people who are fish and flesh people, you only know how to hide behind your back, we fight for your life and death, and now you can't even sacrifice a little? Damn you, damn it! With that, Xu Chu and Dian Wei drew their swords.
"Cao Mengde, you dare!" Kong Rong also stood up and pointed at Cao Cao over there.
"What am I afraid of?" Cao Cao also looked at Kong Rong.
"Cao Mengde, aren't you afraid of killing us and rioting?" There are still a lot of private soldiers in the hands of these warriors.
"Yes, but now!" Cao Cao smiled, and two generals suddenly walked in outside the hall.
Kong Rong turned his head and saw that those two people were not Cao Chun and Xiahou Yuan?
"Cao Chun Xiahou Yuan has seen the prime minister!" Cao Chun and Xiahou Yuan both knelt on the ground and shouted at Cao Cao.
"How's that!"
"Fortunately, the four city walls in the southeast, northwest and northwest have completed the change of defense!" It turned out that Cao Chun and Xiahou Yuan went to take over the four walls of Xudu City.
These four sides are now in Cao Cao's hands, and it can be said that the soldiers and horses of the entire Shi clan are trapped in the city, like turtles in an urn.
"Cao Mengde, aren't you afraid of being spurned by the world?" Kong Rong continued to scold.
"It's not me who is spurned by the people of the world, but you!" Cao Cao said with a smile, Kong Rong and the others have changed from opposing Cao Cao's ascension to the top of the roof to now opposing Cao Cao's sacrifice of soldiers who died in battle.
It can be said that it has completely lost the support of the people.
"This, this, this!" Kong Rong didn't expect Cao Cao to calculate and calculate.
"There will always be people in this world who understand!" Kong Rong said viciously.
"Haha, that's just a minority, isn't it? Master Kong, you don't have to worry, I'm not killing you! Cao Cao smiled and looked at Kong Rong over there, Kong Rong is a descendant of Confucius, and he Cao Cao can't kill Kong Rong if he wants to win over the world.
"I want you to see how I killed them one by one!"
Kong Rong's eyes widened.
"Do it!" Cao Cao shouted at Dian Wei and Xu Chu beside him.
"Kill, kill, kill!" Dian Wei and Xu Chu rushed into the crowd of the imperial party over there like a tiger going down the mountain, and the civil officials were simply killed when they touched it, and they were injured when they touched it, and the generals of the Shi clan wanted to jump out to resist Dian Wei and Xu Chu, but where was the opponent of these two people with explosive force values.
Soon the entire Prime Minister's Mansion was filled with the smell of blood.
"Someone will take Master Kong down to rest!" Cao Cao waved his hand and said to the people over there.
"Cao Mengde, you can't die well!" Kong Rong stared at Cao Cao deadly, if his eyes could kill people, then the current Lao Cao would be a dead man, but unfortunately Kong Rong couldn't kill Cao Cao, so he could only be dragged down.
"It's a pity!" Cao Cao's gaze traced to the direction over there, and it was our Fu Wan who stood there as stable as Mount Tai in that direction, and it was our Fu Wan, the battle of the country, if Fu Wan was also with those scholars, Cao Cao didn't mind killing one more person, but unfortunately Fu Wan did not move at all.
Even Cao Cao saw that a scholar who had been friends with Fu Wan's family in the past dragged his bloody body to Fu Wan's side, stretched out his bloody hand and grabbed Fu Wan's trouser legs, and shouted miserably, "Help, save me!" ”
Not only was he unmoved, but he even pulled out the long sword in his crotch and stabbed it at the Shijiao clan over there.
Such an action and such a reaction, if Cao Cao did it again, it would be too much.
"What an old fox!" It's a pity that Lao Cao couldn't kill Fu Wan, before Fu Wan contacted Yuan Shao, Cao Cao had a killing intent for Fu Wan, but I didn't expect this old man to sell Yuan Shao directly after shamelessly, Cao Cao was able to implement the strategy so quickly, which has a credit for the runes.
On top of the original trajectory, this general also died well. In the second year of Xingping, Fu Shou was the emperor of the Han Dynasty, Liu Xieli was the queen, and Fu Wan was promoted to the ruling Jinwu. In the first year of Jian'an, the official worshiped the general of the auxiliary country, and the three divisions of Yitong. After Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty moved the capital, Cao Cao appointed himself as the secretary, the power was in his hands and monopolized the government. In the fifth year of Jian'an, Dong Cheng and others failed to kill Cao Cao and were killed, Dong Cheng's daughter was the concubine of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, and Cao Cao killed Dong Cheng and begged Emperor Dong Guiren to kill him. Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty asked Cao Cao several times because the nobleman was pregnant, but he still could not save the life of the nobleman. Empress Fu wrote a letter to her father Fu Wan, telling Cao Cao about his atrocities, so that his father plotted against him, and Fu Wan did not dare to make a move. Jian'an died in the fourteenth year, and his son Fu Dian was the heir.
After eliminating these scholars who were about to jump out and oppose his old Cao, Cao Cao was not idle, and immediately sent elite troops into the city to raid their homes while co-opting the private soldiers of these scholars.
The people in the entire Xu Capital City were panicked, and Lao Cao's mouth was crooked, because 100,000 stones of grain and grass, 50,000 gold, and countless jewels were seized from the mansions of the major scholars.
Nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses have been collected, and it can be said that Lao Cao's soldiers and horses this time have once again become 50,000 troops.
Coupled with this batch of grain, grass and ordnance, it can be said that it can be used for a long time.
After Lao Cao, when he saw the remaining scholars in the court, his eyes glowed green.
"Lord, do you really want to sacrifice on the rooftop?" Xun Yu didn't participate in the court meeting that day, but he knew the bloody storm that day, and knew that it was Lao Cao who could only attack those scholars in order to seize military power and increase his strength.
Although Xun Yu also has the Han family in his heart, he knows that Yanzhou would have been finished without Cao Cao, whether it is Yuan Shao or Yuan Yao'er who pretended to be dead, Yuan Shao once wanted to establish Liu Yan as the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and Yuan Yao's father Yuan Shu was even more self-established as the emperor, in comparison, Cao Cao is much purer.
But today, when I heard that Lao Cao wanted to sacrifice on the rooftop, I subconsciously dissuaded him.
"If I don't sacrifice those soldiers on the rooftop, how can I get the hearts of the army and the people? Do you also think that those soldiers are not worthy to go to the rooftop to worship? Cao Cao asked Xun Yu over there.
Xun Yu immediately lowered his head, "Those soldiers all died for Yanzhou and the world, so they are naturally qualified!" ”
"That's fine! Wen Ruo, you will inform Your Majesty for Shangshu and me, and let Your Majesty make a decree to allow me to worship the general on the rooftop! Although Lao Cao was arrogant, he also knew that if there was no will of the Han Emperor, it would not work, and if he wanted to blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes, he had to block this fig leaf of the Han family for him.
"Whoa!" Xun Yu could only nod and retreat!
……
"Damn, damn! Cao Cao old thief, Cao Cao old thief! "In the palace of Xudu, Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty can be said to be angry, in fact, Liu Xie is also very sad.
Isn't he Liu Xie capable? has the ability, otherwise Dong Zhuo would not have abolished Liu Braid and sent him Liu Xie to the throne, but it was because Liu Xie was too smart, so smart that Lao Cao was afraid, and so smart that he was overlooked by Lao Cao step by step.
When Cao Cao went to Chang'an to greet him Liu Xie before, everyone was in a honeymoon period at that time.
Okay, I'm about to wear a pair of pants, Lao Cao Na sleeps all night with Liu Xie, and Liu Xie also talks with Cao Cao day and night, and the relationship is so good.
However, Liu Xie was too anxious, he was too smart, thinking that he would soon be able to master Cao Cao's force, get Cao Cao's military power, and be able to restore the Han dynasty like his ancestors of Emperor Guangwu, and come out with a Southern Han or Northern Han.
But unfortunately, Cao Cao is not a fool, on the contrary, Liu Xie is not as smart as Cao Cao.
Cao Cao was afraid that Liu Xie would be smart but would be mistaken by cleverness, and Lao Cao, in order to protect himself and not to hide the last lackey, could only take back the rights step by step, plus the scholars around Liu Xie fanned the flames.
Soon Liu Xie and Cao Cao fell out, from the beginning they could independently deploy the soldiers and horses in the capital city, and then they could only mobilize the soldiers and horses in the imperial city, and now they can only mobilize the guards around him, and even the guards have Cao Cao's eyes and ears.
In the struggle with Cao Cao, Liu Xie lost to Cao Cao step by step, first Yang Feng, Liu Bei and others, and then Dong Chen, and now it is hard to see Yuan Shao's army attacking, and the soldiers and horses of the Shi clan are exhausted.
Now Lao Cao has gone one step further, and even wants to sacrifice the dead generals on the rooftop?
Sacrifice those soldiers who died in battle, Liu Xie understands, but on the rooftop, it is not your turn to sacrifice Cao Mengde, but he is the Han Emperor who has this qualification.
"What do you want to do? If you want the position of Emperor Han, you can take it! Liu Xie shouted frantically.
"Your Majesty is cautious!" Xun Yu over there lowered his head to Liu Xie and reminded.
"Xun Wenruo, are you loyal to me or the thief Cao?" Liu Xie looked at Xun Yu over there, the Xun family can be described as a great scholar, when everyone was unlucky, the few scholars were not implicated, including the Xun family.
"Yu is loyal to the big man!" Xun Yu lowered his head and said a simulated answer.
"Get out, get out of here!" As Liu Xie spoke, an inkstone smashed towards Xun Yu, and there was a red-gold silk with him.
Xun Yu didn't dodge or dodge, and soon blood was left on Xun Yu's head.
Xun Yu looked at the scroll on the ground, although Liu Xie was annoyed, but in the end, he signed and stamped the scroll of his own book.
Picking up the scroll, Xun Yu lowered his head and didn't care about the blood on his head, "Retire!" ”
Walking out of the palace but still hearing the angry voice of the Han Emperor inside, Xun Cen raised his head and wiped the blood off his head, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, if His Majesty is not so smart, if His Majesty is not so ambitious, I am afraid that the lord will not be like this.
Cao Cao is not so much rebellious as for self-preservation, Liu Xie does not believe in Cao Cao, but believes in Dong Chen and others, and places people in Cao's army everywhere, pointing fingers, this is where Cao Cao is.
In addition, Dong Chen more or less hinted that Emperor Han killed Cao Cao, which made Cao Cao even more likely to do it.
The whole thing can be summed up in one sentence, that is, if you don't die, you won't die!
