As soon as Yuan Shao was angry, everyone was embarrassed to hold the wine bowl and looked at him in a daze.

There was silence in the lobby.

"Ding'er," a musician accidentally touched the strings and made a pleasant sound, but at this time it was piercing to everyone's ears.

"Drag this guy down, and blame the eighty military sticks," Yuan Shao roared at the musician like thunder, and the eighty military sticks were going to be beaten to death.

"Get out, get out of here!" He yelled at the bewildered musicians and dancers in the center of the hall.

"The lord is angry," Guo Tu put down the wine bowl and saluted Yuan Shao: "Now that the lord sits on the land of the four states, with 200,000 elite soldiers and 1,000 generals, there is no one in the world who can compete with him, why should he care about the official position of the Son of Heaven?"

Now that the Han family exists in name only, the Son of Heaven fled in embarrassment, no different from the exiles, who is willing to listen to his edict?

Even if he Cao Cao became a general, it was just a vain name. ”

"Regardless of family background, talent, or reputation, Cao Cao has been under me since he was a child," Yuan Shao paced back and forth with his waist crossed.

He naturally knew that whether it was a general or a lieutenant, they were all false names and useless.

But he and Cao Cao were playmates from childhood to adulthood, and when they were in Luoyang, they did a lot of bad things with the children of high-ranking officials of the imperial court, and even stole other people's brides.

At that time, Yuan Shao's family background was the most prominent, and he was the leader of the gang of yamen, although Cao Cao had many ideas, he was just his little follower.

Later, the princes of the world discussed Dong Zhuo, and he was promoted as the leader of the alliance, and Cao Cao was still his subordinate.

Later, Cao Cao's army was defeated, and his soldiers and horses were killed and wounded, but he remembered the old friendship and lent this childhood playmate soldiers and horses, so that Cao Cao could make a comeback and be able to seize Yanzhou.

But I never thought that the guy who had been crushed by him since he was a child suddenly climbed on his head, so how could he, who has always had a good reputation, stand it?

"Return the edict, whoever likes to do it, I won't do it anyway." Yuan Shao said angrily.

"That edict is just a volume of waste, Cao Cao's strength is far inferior to the lord, why should the lord mind?" Guo Tukai explained.

"Is it really a scroll of rubble?"

The strategist next to him shook his head in frustration: "I heard that recently, the Son of Heaven's "Edict on Encouraging Farmers" was issued, and the people of the world heard the wind and poured into Xu County.

And the Son of Heaven has promised, and the scholars of the world have gone to serve, among which there are many capable ministers who govern the world, and the lord should not be careless. ”

"If that's the case?" Yuan Shao was shocked, and his eyes widened as he looked at the civil and military forces in the hall.

Everyone bowed their heads.

In fact, because of the "Edict of Agriculture", the escape of the people of Jizhou has just risen recently, and everyone has heard of it, but no one dares to tell Yuan Shao.

Just because after the Son of Heaven escaped from Chang'an, he was the first to send an envoy to Yecheng, hoping that Yuan Shao could send someone to escort him.

At that time, he said to Yuan Shao: "The city of Jinzhou is rough, the soldiers are strong, and the west is welcomed, that is, the palace is the capital, and the princes are coerced by the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and the horses are accumulated to ask for the court, who can control it?"

But what happened in Yecheng was similar to that of Cao's Yanzhou at the beginning, Yuan Shao's generals plus Guo Tu and others all felt that welcoming the Son of Heaven would weaken the power in their hands, and the hegemony of the world relied on the courage of the soldiers and generals, and the Son of Heaven ushered in all kinds of harm and no benefit.

The difference is that although the Cao clan was also opposed at that time, Liu Ping advocated it, and Cao Cao obeyed Liu Ping's words, but Yuan Shao did not have a figure like Liu Ping here.

So Yuan Shao didn't see the messenger at all.

Now seeing that Cao Cao benefited from welcoming the Son of Heaven, everyone knew that Yuan Shao was a person who would never admit his mistakes easily, and whoever mentioned this matter to him was unlucky, so no one dared to mention it to him.

"Annoying, hateful! Why did you tell me today? ”

Yuan Shao saw that everyone bowed their heads and was silent, so he knew that it was true, and slammed his fist on the table angrily, and he couldn't help but regret it in his heart.

He traveled extensively since he was so good at making friends with celebrities, and naturally knew that there were many talented people there, and if they all went to Xu County and were used by Cao Cao, it would not be good for him.

What's more, the people under his rule have all gone there, and the strength of both sides is even more different.

However, regret is regret, but he can't say it, but he said irritably: "Wait for me to personally lead the army, conquer Xu County, and welcome the Son of Heaven back." ”

"The lord must not," he said again, "Today's Cao Mengde is no longer the Cao Mengde of the past.

And the Son of Heaven has gained a foothold in Xu County, and I heard that Xu County has been changed to Xu Capital, and the lord rashly sent troops to attack the capital, and what he did was an unrighteous army, what is the difference between it and a rebellion?

Although the Han family is declining now, it is still the Han family after all. ”

"Then what do you say?" Yuan Shao sat down and said angrily, not feeling that today's situation was caused by the fact that he didn't listen to the good words of frustration at the beginning.

"When today's son has been displaced since he ascended the throne, and now he is suddenly stable, he must be grateful to Cao Cao," he said, "However, Cao Cao is the hero of the world, how can he really willingly cede the power in his hands to the Son of Heaven?"

After a long time, it will inevitably be domineering, no different from Li Dao Guo Yan, and the Son of Heaven will definitely be resentful.

At that time, the lord can send someone to contact the ministers who are not the descendants of the Cao family in the near future of the Son of Heaven, such as Dong Chengfu, etc., so that he can provoke it, if he can get the edict of the Son of Heaven, then the lord will send an edict to the thief, and a hundred responses can be done. ”

Yuan Shao thought about it carefully, and then looked at Guo Tu and the others who were against welcoming the Son of Heaven, he had already lowered his head and didn't dare to speak at this time, he gritted his teeth and said: "It can only be like this, it seems that Cao Cao and I will meet sooner or later."

In the coming days, see how I set foot in Xu County and let him be the head. ”

At this time, he had just pacified the land of Qingzhou, his foothold was not stable, and Yi Jing, who was guarded by Gongsun Zhan, had not been breached, so he could not concentrate his troops to use troops to the south.

Immediately, he still ordered someone to return the edict that made him a lieutenant, although it was just a false name and useless, but he still couldn't accept it if he was subordinated to Cao Cao.

……

After the Son of Heaven's "Edict on Agriculture" was issued, the world's displaced people really brought their families and mouths, and flocked to the surrounding areas of Xudu.

Cao Cao was overjoyed.

At the beginning, he was short of people in the Central Plains, and he did not hesitate to send troops to capture Pengcheng and forcibly move the population of a county to Xu County.

Now it seems that the effort was not as good as the edict of the Son of Heaven, and now the number of displaced people has been several times that of the people of Pengcheng County.

He couldn't help but sigh, fortunately, Liu Ping insisted on ushering in the Son of Heaven at the beginning, and the benefits were simply one after another.

Now that there are manpower, the policy of Tuntian must be implemented immediately.

Cao Cao deliberated in his general's mansion.

"Now there is no shortage of people, and there is an urgent need to arrange farming," Cao Cao sat in the first place, glanced at the civil and military forces, and said majestically: "Tuntian is not more than others, and it needs to be led by those who are good at farming. ”
