Chapter 67: Cao Cao is back

After more than two months, Cao Cao finally attacked Nanpi.

Yesterday, Yuan Tan drove the people in front and wanted to attack Cao Ying at night, but he didn't expect to be killed by Xu Chu in front of the battle.

The Lord will die, and it will be difficult for his command to become a climate.

One after another, the generals of the Yuan family led the army to take refuge.

Nanpi Mansion Ya.

Cao Cao sat in chief.

All the generals in the hall were there, and their expressions were uncontrollable and excited. Today, Yuan Tan was finally destroyed, and it was time to reward him for his meritorious deeds.

Especially Xu Chu stood in the front row, his expression was somewhat arrogant, he did make a lot of contributions as a pioneer this time.

Even Yuan Tan took the initiative to send it to the door, and he picked up a beheading in vain, which also made everyone envious.

Cao Cao looked at it for a while, and said indifferently:

"The recent war, you have worked hard, after returning to Shiye City, you will be rewarded for your merits and deeds, and you will not delay."

Everyone said yes.

Cao Cao nodded slightly, and asked in a deep voice:

"Now that Yuan Tan has been wiped out, and it will only be a few days before the Bohai Sea is swept away, where should our army go next, what do you think?"

Although Cao Cao had his own ideas, it was also useful to ask his subordinates.

Xu Chu knew Cao Cao's intentions, and immediately came out and said:

"Prime Minister Qiyu, although Yuan Tan is broken now, Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang brothers still exist, and they should lead the army north to pacify the quiet and peaceful."

Cao Cao thought for a moment, and said:

"The Yuan brothers are a big disaster, if they don't get rid of it, I am afraid that there will be a comeback, can you say anything else?"

When the words were said about this, everyone knew it and hurriedly replied:

"We are willing to follow the prime minister to calm down the peace."

I saw Cao Cao brushing his beard and said with satisfaction:

"Since you all have this intention, then go back and prepare well, and after the Bohai Sea is settled, the army will go north directly."

The generals were ordered to go.

Only Cao Cao and Guo Jia were left in the hall.

After a moment of silence, Cao Cao asked:

"Now that the Yuan brothers have stolen the annex, can Feng Xiao have a countermeasure?"

Guo Jia still looked indifferent, and arched his hand:

"Since the defeat of Yuan Tan, many Yuan generals have surrendered, and the prime minister can make them the vanguard and show the prestige of the imperial court."

Then Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia and asked:

"The Yuan brothers occupy Erzhou, and there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under their command, Feng Xiao thinks this battle can be assured?"

Guo Jia thought slightly, and said loudly:

"Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang are just lost dogs, and the prime minister attacks them with the king's master, and it is naturally easy to win."

Cao Cao nodded lightly and said:

"Feng Xiao is the same as Gu Xiang, but there is still one thing now."

Guo Jia was stunned and asked:

"Does the prime minister want to go back to Yecheng?"

was guessed by Guo Jia, Cao Cao replied with a smile:

"That's right, the Yuan brothers need to be punished, but Lone is also worried about Yecheng, and it is not easy for Jun to defend the city alone."

Then Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice:

"Thanks to the action of the lord of Chen Zhai, the locust plague has not spread, otherwise Jizhou will be starving all over the land, how can we conquer the secluded and the ordination."

Cao Cao's tone was a little strange, and he didn't seem to be happy, Guo Jia raised his eyebrows and sighed:

"There is no change in Qingyunzhai, Cheng is quite focused on the overall situation, and it is not too late to think of countermeasures in the future."

Seeing Guo Jia's words of persuasion, Cao Cao nodded and said:

"It's okay, these orphans all understand, it's just that there is a lot of instability in the rear, and the orphans want to go back and see first, what does Feng Xiao think?"

This time Guo Jia did not stop it, but said:

"Since the prime minister feels uneasy, there is no problem in returning to Yecheng first, but the army needs to go north first. With the power of this great victory, I am afraid that the Yuan brothers have been caught off guard. ”

Before he could think about it, Cao Cao agreed and said:

"Feng Xiao's words are very true, then Gu will take Zhongkang alone, Feng Xiao and go north with the army, and urge the soldiers not to attack rashly."

Guo Jia agreed.

Next.

Cao Cao appointed Xiahoudun as the governor of the army and horses, and he took Xu Chu and more than a dozen personal guards to Yecheng directly.

……

Yecheng Mansion.

Xun Yu flipped through the newspaper on the table.

After many days of hard work, the impact of the locust plague has been completely eliminated, and most of the people have stabilized and resumed production.

This is also thanks to Chen Jue's help, most of the locust swarms have been solved, so that the losses of the people have been greatly reduced, and they can take care of it.

Qingyunzhai disaster relief is also very important, if there is no time for Chen Jue's delay, I am afraid that Yecheng would have become a pot of porridge.

At that time, Xun Yu will not only have to do disaster relief, but also lead the army to pacify the rebellious people in order to stabilize the rear.

But no matter what, Yecheng hasn't changed much.

That is, Chen Jue made him elusive, and everything else was under control, just waiting for Cao Cao to destroy the Yuan Shao brothers.

Don't look at Xun Yu staying in the rear, he can guess that Cao Cao will not come back so soon, and he can't stay for a long time.

If the brothers Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang are allowed to slow down, the soldiers and horses they have at their disposal should not be underestimated, and there will undoubtedly be a lot of trouble.

Solving the two as soon as possible will have a great impact on Cao Cao, Jizhou, and the general trend of the world in the future.

In addition to the long distance of Liangzhou, the northern states are unified, and they are getting closer and closer to Xun Yu's goal.

But the more this time, the more worried Xun Yu became, what Cao Cao thought in his heart was unpredictable.

Is it really as Chen Jue said......

Just when Xun Yu was groaning, someone outside came to report:

"Qi Yu Lingjun, the prime minister led more than ten fast rides, and he has reached the city gate."

Xun Yu was stunned for a moment, this was different from what he thought, and hurriedly said:

"Come out with me to meet you."

As soon as he left the gate of the mansion, Xun Yu bumped into Cao Cao head-on.

Without waiting for Xun Yu to speak, Cao Cao sighed:

"Ling Jun, let you stay in Yecheng during this time, I didn't expect so many things to happen, it's really hard for you."

Xun Yu hurriedly shook his head and arched his hand:

"The prime minister's words are wrong, Weichen stays in the city, how can there be soldiers who work the battlefield."

Cao Cao smiled wryly, Xun Yu was still as direct as ever, thought about it and said:

"You don't have to shirk this matter, Lone came back to take a look, now that the army has gone north, Lone will leave tomorrow."

Xun Yu was surprised:

"This is too hurried, there is no big problem for Yecheng to have micro-ministers left behind, if the prime minister is running back and forth, I am afraid that the people will not be at ease."

Cao Cao didn't care, and Zhengse said:

"Lonely nature rest assured that Ling Jun, but there are many variables in Yecheng today, especially that Qingyun Village, what is abnormal recently?"

Xun Yu was also unambiguous, and quickly replied:

"Qingyunzhai's recent measures, Weichen wrote in his letters, and he already has a general understanding of the prime minister."

Cao Cao nodded lightly and said hesitantly:

"What is the hot air balloon that Ling Jun said in his letter?"

Xun Yu wrote a lot of things, but the hot air balloon impressed him deeply, this thing can actually carry people to the sky?

Cao Cao was puzzled and took this opportunity to ask.

Asked about the hot air balloon, Xun Yu was also a little hesitant, and he muttered:

"This hot air balloon is shaped like a sphere, and a basket hangs underneath it, and the basket can carry people, like the mounts of immortals."

Cao Cao's brows furrowed even tighter, and he said suspiciously:

"Is it really a fairy thing?"

Xun Yu sighed and shook his head, and said:

"Weichen has no way of knowing about this."
