Hey?

Cao Hong rubbed his eyes vigorously to make sure he was not mistaken.

Han Hao only had 1,000 troops and horses, and they were all Tuntian soldiers, and it was because they were Liu Ping's subordinates that Cao Hong was afraid that they would get nothing, so that Liu Ping couldn't get by when he reported his merits, so he sent them to attack He Fang's department, which only had 2,000 people.

If you think about it, even if you lose, you won't lose too badly, just run away, anyway, they are also a well-known long-legged army.

But I never expected that these guys would kill more than 1,400 enemies and capture more than 300 people, which seemed to have wiped out He Fang's men.

What's even more outrageous is that their own losses are only about 20 people, and such a battle loss ratio is too exaggerated.

Although Cao Hong knew that Han Hao would never dare to falsely report his exploits, it was difficult for him to believe in the authenticity of this battle report.

With such a strong combat power, how can it be the Tuntian Army?

"Come on, send scouts to find out what the situation is in this battle."

"No!" The scout was ordered to go out.

Han Hao marched only thirty miles yesterday, and the scouts rode fast horses, but they came back in two hours.

The man knelt down on one knee and said, "General, the Northern Expeditionary Army killed He Fang in Qinjialou last night and broke his ......."

The figures reported by the scouts are roughly the same as those reported by Han Hao, and then continued: "Now the people north of Xu County are all running to tell each other that our Cao army is the king of the autumn without committing any crimes, and the northward march is to save the people from fire and water, and they are all vying to praise our army as a benevolent and righteous army.

Now General Han Hao has led the army to attack the lair of the He Man army in Daqingshan. ”

"This ......" Cao Hong was stunned, this Han Hao's report turned out to be true.

He shook his head with a wry smile for a while, and said to himself: "Ping'er is really a demon, he has trained a Tuntian soldier into such an elite in such a short time, why do I need to worry about him not being able to save face." ”

Cao Hong pondered, such a record has far surpassed Xiahou Yuan and Cao Chun.

The key is that while fighting, he actually captured the hearts of the people, and if this news is reported back to Yanzhou in the future, it will definitely make the eldest brother happier than just a victory.

Cao Hong casually threw aside the battle report of Cao Chun and Xiahou Yuan, and he faintly felt that these two people were afraid that they would have a happy time, and the matter of Da Wanma was estimated to be yellow......

……

Liu Ping is also very busy in Yanzhou.

Since his wine was praised by Guo Jia as the number one wine in the world, Cao Cao's demand has also increased.

Cao Cao not only wanted to drink it himself, but also prepared to reward his meritorious civil and military officials, so it was definitely not enough for Liu Ping to make a small fuss in the mansion like this.

He needed to find a place to expand production.

But he didn't have to worry about these things at all, the old father-in-law had already arranged it for him.

Cao Cao rewarded Guo Jia with the mansion to the west of Liu's mansion, and then ordered the lord of the mansion to vacate several mansions to the east of Liu's mansion for winemaking.

The owners of those mansions didn't dare to say much, so they moved immediately.

In this way, Liu Ping only needed to order someone to open the courtyard wall, and Liu's mansion instantly expanded three or four times.

Seven or eight days passed, and on this day, Cao Cao ordered someone to summon Liu Ping to go to the assassination mansion to discuss matters.

When he arrived, he found that the civil and military forces had already arrived.

Although Guo Jia is his neighbor, he has been appointed as a military advisor to sacrifice wine, and he has won Cao Cao's trust and accompanies Cao Cao at any time, so Guo Sacrifice Wine naturally has fewer opportunities to drink.

"Ping'er, sit," Cao Cao's face was very solemn.

He glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice: "According to the report I just received, Guo Yan and Zhang Ji want to escort the Son of Heaven to return to the east and go to Hongnong. ”

Liu Ping knows this history, before Li Dao kidnapped the Son of Heaven, Guo Yan kidnapped the Manchu Dynasty ministers, fought in Chang'an City, attacked each other for several months, tens of thousands of dead, Chang'an City has become a ruin, and even cannibalism has occurred.

Later, Zhang Ji, who was also a giant of the Xiliang Army, led an army from Shaanxi County to make peace, and the two agreed to exchange their children as hostages before they quit the army.

At the same time, the Son of Heaven pleaded with Li Dao more than a dozen times, hoping to return to the east, and Zhang Ji also had the intention of temporarily placing the Son of Heaven in Hongnong, so the Son of Heaven finally fled from Chang'an under the escort of Guo Yan, Zhang Ji, Yang Feng, Dong Cheng and others.

Of course, Guo Jia judged that the Son of Heaven was able to escape smoothly, and Jia Xu also played a role in secret.

Otherwise, no matter how stupid Li Dao is, he will not release the hostages unconditionally.

And immediately after his release, he regretted it again, and personally led his troops to chase after him, and almost recaptured the Son of Heaven again.

This matter of the Son of Heaven returning to the East is just a trivial matter for the Kwantung princes who have no desires and no desires, and everyone is self-respecting at this time, and no one takes the Son of Heaven seriously.

And when today's son was established by Dong Zhuo, they didn't recognize it very much, and even Yuan Shao wanted to establish Liu Yu, the patriarch of the Han family, as the emperor, but Liu Yu resolutely refused and had to give up.

At this time, Cao Cao only possessed the land of Yanzhou, and he had to rank outside the top ten in the ranking of the princes in the world, so he was not very interested in this matter.

Now the Son of Heaven no longer has any real power in his hands, and the Han court is only an empty shelf, and the most practical thing for the princes is to grab territory, grab population, and develop and expand their own power.

"What are we going to do?" At this time, Cao Ren said with a smile: "Now our soldiers and horses have to rely on us to feed, and the people are our own people, why bother with the Son of Heaven?" ”

At this time, the generals of Yanzhou were headed by him, and the brothers of the Cao family and the Xiahou clan were also absent, and his opinions represented the opinions of the generals.

Guo Jia shook his head and retorted: "General Zixiao's words are wrong, no matter how the Son of Heaven is, he is also the Son of Heaven, how can we ignore it?"

If the Son of Heaven is welcomed, won't my Yanzhou become the capital of the Han Dynasty, and which princes in the world dare to attack the imperial capital?

And we, we can borrow the name of the Son of Heaven to edict the ministers and order the Quartet, and Cao Zhijun will naturally be able to achieve the hegemony of Qi Huan and Jinwen. ”

"Commanding the Quartet?" Cao Ren snorted in his nose and said: "Guo Saijiu is a scholar's words, let me ask who still obeys the edict of the Son of Heaven today?"

Put yourself in your shoes, if the edict of the Son of Heaven is transmitted to my Yanzhou, will we listen to it? ”

In fact, the edict of the Son of Heaven at this time was indeed a piece of waste paper, and no prince would listen to it.

In later generations, the so-called Cao Cao "coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes", but in fact, he could not order a single prince.

"Don't be rude," Cao Cao listened to Cao Ren's words a little fiercely, and hurriedly stopped him from talking any further.

At this time, a herald shouted outside the door: "Report, Xu County has a great victory!" ”

Cao Cao knew that the discussion about the Son of Heaven would not be so easy to reach an agreement, so he just interrupted it first.

"There will be results so quickly," Cao Cao said with a smile: "It seems that several generals have been training their troops well recently, so I'll see if you bring them in." ”

The herald held a war report to Cao Cao's case.

Cao Ren was concerned about the belonging of Da Wanma, leaned over slightly and said, "Who is the first to do it?" Zihe or Miaocai? ”

Cao Cao looked at the battle report, his eyes widened suddenly, and the smile on his face froze at once......
