June of the thirteenth year of Jian'an.

At this moment.

The Han capital is in Xudu, so it is all in Luoyang.

But Cao Cao's capital, which had already migrated north, was in Yecheng.

The strength of the Central Plains is far inferior to that of Hebei. Even if the war has been going on for many years, Jizhou has become much more desolate, but it is still a skinny camel bigger than a horse.

Hebei's strength is much stronger than that of the Central Plains.

Especially now that Cao Cao has solved all the problems left by Yuan Shao, invaded the state to the west, and beheaded Yuan Shao's nephew Gao Gan.

Zhang Yan, a black mountain thief, led more than 100,000 people to join him, and most of the rest of the bandits were exterminated.

In the north, the Karasuma people, who really occupied Youzhou, were defeated by Cao Cao in a battle. The only remaining threat to the north is only Gongsun Du of Liaodong.

However, Liaodong is remote, and it is difficult to pose a threat to Cao Cao.

Under such circumstances, Hebei is far safer, more reliable and more prosperous than the Central Plains. Cao Cao had abolished the Three Dukes at this moment, appointed himself prime minister, and monopolized the government.

He was already planning to claim the title of duke, that is, to establish the state of Wei.

Isn't the foundation left by Yuan Shao a good place? Therefore, although Cao Cao has not yet called the Duke of Wei, the capital has been selected in Yecheng.

Yecheng began to develop on a large scale.

Many generals and ministers' clans were either relocated or came to Yecheng voluntarily. Cao Cao also excavated the Xuanwu Pond outside Yecheng City to train the naval army.

In the Han Dynasty, the Yellow River and the Yangtze River were not connected, and the training of naval forces here was only to train combat capabilities, and it was impossible for boats and boats to lead to the Yangtze River.

But since Cao Cao had trained his navy here, he must have the confidence to go to the south and collect warships from Jingzhou and plunder them.

Ready-to-use, it's not just Guan Ping's patent.

And just as the news obtained from the south, Cao Cao had gathered a large amount of food and supplies and went to Xudu, and most of the army was concentrated in Yecheng.

In the layers of military camps, there are the remaining elites of Cao Cao's victory over the world, and it can also be said that in the open area, that is, the plain area, there is no one who is Cao Cao's opponent.

Whether it is a Han Chinese or a steppe person.

If there is no city, the Guan family, let alone 20,000 people, 200,000 people, will be doubled and doubled, and it will not be Cao Cao's opponent.

Terrible monsters.

A real powerhouse.

The overlord of the North.

Cao Cao, Meng De.

However, when Cao Cao's life reached such a strong point, there were also some turnarounds. Cao Cao's important adviser, Guo Jia, died of illness last year.

Cao Cao felt frustrated by this, and now he has not relieved himself.

Afternoon.

Yecheng, the prime minister's mansion.

At noon, Cao Cao drank a little wine and fell asleep. In his sleep, Cao Cao felt that someone was pulling his quilt, so he opened his eyes.

saw the face of the eldest son Cao Pi.

"Father." Cao Pi originally wanted to help Cao Cao pull the quilt, but when he saw that Cao Cao woke up, he didn't panic, but bowed down and screamed.

"It's Ziheng." Cao Cao's eyes were unfocused at first, and then he became energetic, lifted the quilt and sat up from the bed. Cao Pi carefully helped Cao Cao up.

Cao Cao stretched out his hand and put it on his forehead, shook his head, and sighed: "In the past, I ate and drank a jar, and I didn't mess up. Now it's just a few more sips and I'm going to fall asleep. It's really getting older and my energy is running out. ”

At this moment, Cao Cao is in his fifties, although Cao Cao's ambition has not diminished back then, and he has also been a turtle although long-lived, in order to declare that although he is old, his pride has not diminished back then.

But this era is the Han Dynasty after all, and people at the age of thirty can call themselves old husbands. Cao Cao is already fifty years old and knows the destiny of heaven, and he is different in all aspects from when he was young.

And because Guo Jia died, Cao Cao was quite devastated, and his health this year was a little worse than last year.

"In the past, Xiangshi said that my father could live up to 100 years old and was in the prime of life at the moment." Cao Pi said with a smile.

Cao Cao smiled when he heard this: "Xiangshi is talking about people, how can you believe it?" Although Cao Cao refuted it, he was still happy to hear the auspicious words from the mouth of his eldest son.

Cao Pi was happy when he saw this, but his face was silent.

is the so-called thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, who can not love? At this moment, the struggle between Cao Pi and Cao Zhi has begun to take shape.

Big bit, big bit.

It is really the predecessors who planted the trees, and the descendants who enjoyed the shade.

"Someone, fetch water." Cao Cao felt thirsty, so he exhaled.

"Prime Minister." A waiter came in from outside, holding a bowl of water in both hands. Cao Pi stretched out his hand to take it and fed it to Cao Cao personally.

After Cao Cao drank the water, he was much refreshed.

"Call Cui Yan, Yu Ban come over." Cao Cao said to the waiter again.

"No." The waiter answered the promise and sent from below.

"Father, I'll go down first." Cao Pi bowed down to retreat. Cao Cao stopped and said, "You also sit down and listen." ”

"No." Cao Pi's face was silent, but in his heart he was surprised, and he promised. Immediately, Cao Cao drove to the study, and Cao Pi sat on one side.

Soon after, Cui Yan and Yu Ban arrived, Cui Yan arrived first, and Yu Ban arrived later.

In history, Xun You, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu and other celebrities have been in the history books, and the sonic shock has shocked future generations. But these people are actually playing the role of military advisors.

Guo Jiazhi's death was just a military advisor sacrificing wine, and he followed Cao Cao to fight.

The person who held real power in the early and middle period of Cao Cao was Xun Yu. When Cao Cao goes out, Xun Yu must stay in the rear, and the governor has enough food, and the soldiers are full of food.

After Cao Cao invaded Jizhou, he appointed himself as the pastor of Jizhou, and recruited Cui Yan as a separate driver, and Cui Yan is currently an important official position in Cao Cao's shogunate, which is very useful.

At present, Cui Yan is responsible for the trivial affairs of the armies inside and outside Yecheng, as well as the liaison with Xu Du Xunyu. And Yu Ban has long been transferred back from the south, and is currently training the navy in Xuanwu Pond.

Cao Cao wants to go south, and these two people are the key people.

"Wen Ze, how is the training of the navy?" After Cao Cao sat down, he asked.

"The navy seems to be worthy of a battle, but the Xuanwu Pond is calm after all, and the Yangtze River may be high in the wind and waves, whether the navy can fight or not, the last general will not dare to say."

Yu Ban replied.

Cao Pi raised his eyebrows, thinking to himself, it was really Yu Ban, a general who had followed his father for many years, if he changed to a general, he wouldn't dare to say that.

Cao Cao was a little disappointed when he heard this, but he also accepted the result. The northerner is not good at water warfare, and he is only holding on to his feet temporarily.

"Keep up the drills." Cao Cao instructed.

"No." Yu Ban promised and said.

"Ji Jue. Xu Du grain and grass, heavy assembly, but the preparations are ready? Cao Cao asked about the training of the army, raised his head and asked Cui Yan again.

Cui Yan is also a great husband, and he is very well-dressed.

Hearing this, Cui Yan calmly replied: "Prime Minister, the grain and grass materials are ready, and the army is fully usable." ”

"The soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first. Mobilize some supplies to Wancheng first. Next month, just next month, I personally led the 40th Army, and the 200,000 Mabu Army went south. Before the autumn harvest, fight with Guan Yunchang. ”

Cao Cao showed a look of satisfaction, and then said loudly, with a compelling momentum.

As the saying goes, swallowing mountains and rivers like a tiger.

Today's Cao Cao is also.

"No." Yu Ban suddenly agreed, and Cao Pi next to him was also quite excited, thinking. If my father sweeps the world, one day he will get his hands on the artifact of Sheji, and everything will be mine in the future.

But at this time, Cui Yan said: "Prime Minister, I have a word. ”

Cao Cao was very excited, but he glanced up at Cui Yan, and when he looked at Cui Yan's expression, he knew that he was afraid that there were some unfavorable words. But Cao Cao's city was very deep, and he smiled calmly: "It doesn't hurt for Ji Jue to say it directly. ”

"The father and son of Hanshouhou have been operating in Xinye for many years, and the people are attached to it, and the soldiers are elite. In the new wild city, supplies and grain are piled up. Even if there are 200,000 troops heading south, I am afraid that it may not be possible. Now that the prime minister has just swept the world, he should appease the people, and the future will be long. ”

Cui Yan is sincere.

Cui Yan's words are also true in a sense, Cao Cao has just swept the north, and there are still many things left to deal with.

The foundation is the work of the wise.

When Cao Pi ascended the throne in history, Cao Wei was still a little unstable. Cao Pi was anxious to unify the world. And Jia Xu also said something similar, asking Cao Pi to build the book first, and then crusade against Wu Shu.

But Cao Cao also had his own considerations.

Turtle though longevity.

This is Cao Cao's true mood, as the so-called old man is in the bush, and he is determined to be thousands of miles. The martyrs are in their twilight years, and their hearts are strong.

But time was pressing, and Cao Cao knew that his time was running out. He was anxious to pacify the world.

And what's most important?

For Cao Cao, the place of Liangzhou is actually not important, because Liangzhou is just a place. But if Jingzhou is settled, it can be connected to Bashu, Wuhui, and Jiaozhou.

It's a place where you can get around in all directions.

What's more, the development of the Guan family's father and son is too fast, and that little boy really scared Cao Cao. actually killed in Hanzhong, if that little boy was allowed to get Bashu, it would inevitably become a disaster.

So Cao Cao must move troops, who to fight?

Hit Jingzhou.

Go south to Jingzhou, and the army will go to Wuhui, one day.

So much for.

"Ji Jue's words, the real builder is also. However, I once said to Guo Jia that to determine the world, we need to take Jingzhou first. At this moment, the army has been assembled, the supplies have been mobilized, and the arrow is ready to be sent. ”

Cao Cao smiled calmly, and then said: "As for the advantages of the Guan family's father and son. The march was arranged, but it was not stubborn. As the saying goes, there are not many soldiers. It will not be wide, but whether it can be used. There are not many soldiers, but there are men and horses. Now I am rampant in the world, and the soldiers under my command are all elites, and the generals and ministers are the essence of the world. Why can't you go south and swallow up the Guan family's father and son? ”

Domineering.

Very domineering.

So far, who else can I Cao Cao be afraid of?

Little Xinye, can Ann block my way?

This is at this time, Cao Cao's mentality, his strong heart is still strong, and his ambition is becoming more and more long-term.

Cao Pi next to him heard Cao Cao's words, and his blood immediately boiled, and he couldn't wait to look up to the sky and howl, thinking. "That's how a husband should be."

Yu Ban also opened his eyes and looked at Cao Cao, only to feel that the man in front of him was really a hero.

Even Cui Yan was also taken away by Cao Cao's momentum, and he paused for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said no more.

Now, there is no one who can stop Cao Cao.

The overlord of the north is about to supervise the 40th Army, and the 200,000 Mabu Army has gone south.

Regardless of success or failure, it will be vigorous.

And will Cao Cao be defeated?

Cui Yan just said that he might not be able to win, but Cui Yan felt that even if Cao Cao couldn't win, he would never fail.

This is Prime Minister Cao Cheng.

Cao Cao.
