The first year of Jian'an, that is, 196 AD, is still good for Ma Chao. But for others, it's not so good -

Liu Bei, who is already the pastor of Xuzhou in the Han Dynasty, was indeed high-spirited after he occupied Tao Qian's Xuzhou, and was ready to do something big and help the Han family. As a result, he didn't expect that before he went to Kuangfu Han's room, he first let Yuan Shu in Yangzhou target him.

If you want to say that in the whole world, who is the person Yuan Shu he looks down on the most, in fact, it is definitely not Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu. Yuan Shu doesn't look down on Yuan Shao, because Yuan Shao is just a concubine of the Yuan family, but after all, Yuan Shao and he are both from the Yuan family of the fourth and third dukes, so the person Yuan Shu looks down on the most is not Yuan Shao. The person he looks down on the most is Liu Bei, just like Yuan Shu thought before, he Liu Bei Liu Xuande is a mat weaver and peddler, but he has always been on a par with the princes of the world, which has to make Yuan Shu angry.

How can you say that he was born in the Yuan family of the fourth and third princes, but he Liu Bei is a seller of straw shoes and straw mats. And when he saw people, he said that he was a member of the Han family, and Yuan Shu really didn't look down on Liu Bei. In his opinion, Liu Bei, the Han clan relative, doesn't know whether it's true or not, and in the Han clan of the Han Dynasty, although Yuan Shu doesn't know how much Lu Dao is, but if there are not 10,000, there are 8,000, so the Han clan relatives are rare, it's not unusual at all, but he Liu Bei often talks about it, for fear that others don't know the Dao, and Yuan Shu looks down on him very much.

And Tao Qian died of illness, Liu Bei became the pastor of Xuzhou, there are two most unbalanced people, the first is naturally Cao Cao. Because for Cao Cao. He led his troops into Xuzhou, but he failed to occupy Xuzhou. But he, Liu Bei, occupied Xuzhou without spending a single soldier, and became the pastor of Xuzhou, can Cao Cao balance his heart. And the second person is him Yuan Shu, because he saw that even people like Liu Bei had become a prince, but now his power was still so great, so Yuan Shu also became unbalanced.

Therefore, in June of the first year of Jian'an, Yuan Shu took the opportunity to send troops to Xuzhou. Prepare to attack Liu Bei. So Liu Bei asked Tai Shici to guard Xiapi on the one hand, and on the other hand, he led his troops to Xuyi and Huaiyin to meet Yuan Shu.

But during this period, Xiapi was lost. Because there is an inner ghost. Originally, Liu Bei thought that he had guarded against Lu Bu and Lu Fengxian. Before Lu Bu came to his own Xuzhou, he asked him to be stationed in Xiaopei. Let Tai Shici closely investigate Lu Bu's movements. As a result, Cao Bao and Xu Tan were still allowed to lead Lu Bu to attack and take Xiapi. They are inside and outside, but Tai Shici failed to hold it.

Later, after Liu Bei heard the news that Xiapi was occupied by Lu Bu, he brought it back to rescue, but was defeated again, and then gathered the remnants of the army and fought Guangling with Yuan Shu, but he was still defeated. After the last time, the grain and grass were cut off, and Liu Bei was desperate, so he could only temporarily take refuge in Lu Bu.

Lu Bu was very happy about this, and let Liu Bei recruit Xiaopei. As a result, Yuan Shu asked Ji Ling to attack Liu Bei, Liu Bei asked Lu Bu for help, and Lu Bu led troops to help. After the last time, Lu Bu thought of a way, and shot the halberd at the gate, which directly shocked Ji Ling, and Ji Ling was afraid that if he was not Lu Bu's opponent, he could only retreat with his troops.

And Liu Bei's danger was lifted, but Xuzhou was also lost, and then in September, Lu Bu led his troops to attack Xiaopei, Liu Bei was defeated, leaving his wife, he himself fled to Xudu with his own men and horses, and temporarily took refuge in Cao Cao, who was already an official worship. (Because Xu County became the new capital, the place where the emperor lived could no longer be called Xu County, so it was called Xu County.) )——

Originally, Cao Cao moved the capital to Xu County, and now after Xu Du, he is in high spirits, but because of two things, he knows that he is still happy too early.

The first thing is naturally about Ma Chao, after Guan Yu led his troops to catch up with Cao Cao's army, he reported everything that happened in Luoyang to him. When Cao Cao heard this, he said in his heart that there were really a lot of martial arts generals under his brother Meng Qixian.

Cao Cao felt at this time that he couldn't be so proud just because he had the emperor in his hands. You must know that Lu Dao doesn't have so much strength in the world, and now the Si Li in the west is not occupied by his own Meng Qixian brother, so he shouldn't be too complacent.

And when Liu Xie and the others arrived in Xudu, they naturally promoted Cao Cao, if not, then Cao Cao and his subordinates would not be able to do it. Therefore, Cao Cao is directly the official worship of the general, and the marquis of Wuping.

At this time, Yuan Shao's subordinates gave him an idea, which meant that the emperor would move the capital to Juancheng again, because this place was close to Jizhou, so it was convenient to control it in the future. Yuan Shao heard that it made sense, so he hurriedly sent an envoy to Xudu and suggested that the emperor go.

As a result, Cao Cao of course refused directly, but he didn't want to offend Yuan Shao too ruthlessly, so he could only let the emperor worship Yuan Shao as a commonplace. After Yuan Shao knew that this was the result, he insisted on not accepting it, he felt that his official position could not be lower than Cao Cao, and in that case he would make the world laugh at him.

Yuan Shao thought simply, he might not be able to see the people of the world laughing at him, but didn't these people under him have to do the same. Although he can't do this in front of himself, it must be like this behind his back, so Yuan Shao doesn't want to be this commonplace at all.

In his opinion, he was born in the Yuan family of the fourth and third princes, the Yuan family is a family, and he Cao Cao is just a strong man from Yuzhou. His grandfather was just a eunuch in the palace, although he was quite powerful, but he was also a eunuch. And my father did work as a lieutenant in the court, but that was also bought with money. So in Yuan Shao's thoughts, can Cao Cao's background be compared to himself. In fact, Yuan Shao was right, even the people of the world also saw it this way. Yuan Shao is a concubine from a different background, but he is also stronger than Cao Cao.

And when he was begging for Dong among the princes, he was the leader of the alliance of the princes, and he Cao Cao Cao and Cao Mengde were the deputy alliance leaders, can he compare with himself. After that, he was almost everywhere pressing him Cao Cao, not Cao Cao pressing himself. So if Yuan Shao can still be willing to be under Cao Cao, it will be strange.

Later, Cao Cao also knew that Yuan Shao was not suitable for this commonplace, and he also understood, so he could only be this commonplace himself. Then let Yuan Shao be the general, and as a result, Yuan Shao agreed to the end.

From this matter, Cao Cao knew that he was still not strong enough. Or would he still use Yuan Benchu, the general, even if he Yuan Shao was not the same person, but he would never be able to compromise with him. But look at it now, the general who got it was handed over, and the most fundamental reason was that his strength was not as good as others.

Cao Cao endured this breath, he had already understood. My current strength is still not good. At least now his brother Meng Qixian and Yuan Benchu are better than him, but he has to compromise with them.

Humanity is, "shame and then courage", Cao Cao knew his own shortcomings, and compromised with others in shame. He had to step up his efforts to develop his strength. He started Tuntian first, because Yanzhou was short of food. And Cao Cao knew it. If you don't take some countermeasures at this time, then you will only be more and more short of food and grass in the future, and where will you get people and horses without food.

After that, Cao Cao showed favor to Ma Chao, because Yuan Shao's side had already stopped, but Ma Chao hadn't stopped yet. He just occupied the division, so he was the candidate for the lieutenant of the division. Ma Chao is already on the court. In order to show favor to Ma Chao and let him feel at ease now, Cao Cao not only agreed to Ma Chao's upper table, but also promoted Ma Chao's official.

Ma Chao is the captain of the school. Liu Xie approved. After that, he defeated Ma Chao as a hussar general, led the Liangzhou pastor, and sealed the Marquis of Huaili. As a result, Ma Chao didn't expect that he was not only promoted, but also made a marquis. Of course, Ma Chao doesn't care about this. However, he saw Cao Cao courting him, but he was not incomprehensible. After all, now Cao Cao is just setting Xu Du, and he has just pacified Yuan Shao, but Yuan Shao is finished, and he should be himself.

However, this is also in Ma Chao's mind, and for him, he naturally doesn't want to be an enemy of Cao Cao like this. Although it seems that he is indeed stronger than Cao Cao, he knows about his own family. Ma Chao felt that if he really fought Cao Cao, then it would definitely be a lose-lose result. And his subordinates, whether it is Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Li Hui, Huang Quan, or others, absolutely none of them can agree to this.

Cao Cao is destined to be his enemy, and he will have to face it sooner or later in the future, but it is definitely not now. If nothing else, Cao Cao's power will become stronger and stronger, and his strength will become stronger and stronger, but it is impossible for his own side to stand still. When the time comes, maybe on the surface he will be about the same as Cao Cao's strength, or even inferior to him, but what he wants to do is that his real strength will surpass him, so that's right.

After moving the capital to Xudu, Cao Cao mastered the government step by step. If before, he was just showing his fangs, but at this time, he had already opened his bloody mouth and swallowed everything that should be swallowed. And Liu Xie dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak, and this anger was only angry in his heart. Because Dong Cheng, who was so loyal to him, had already been killed by Xu Huang, there were really few people available to him at this time. He sometimes envies Cao Cao, why do he have so many strategists and generals under him, but look at himself, how many people are loyal to the Han Dynasty.

Look at Cao Mengde let himself be crowned these people, the general Yuan Shao Yuan Benchu, Liu Xie, he can see that Yuan Shao did not bring troops to the division before, and at this time he was unwilling to be under Cao Cao, this person is by no means a person loyal to the Han Dynasty. Before, he also let himself move the capital to Juancheng again, and this made him a general, but he was happy, and it was much quieter at this time.

There is also the hussar general Ma Chao Ma Mengqi, I heard that his people have occupied the entire division, and he also listed his subordinates as the captain of the division. The whole is a chaotic minister, it's not enough to be a Liangzhou pastor, you have to let your subordinates be Yizhou pastor, this time there is another Sili captain, and now Cao Mengde has given him all the hussar generals, and he will have to give him the big Sima in the future.

Liu Xie felt that there were too many thieves in the big man now, and he had nothing to do about it. It was not until he saw the defeated Xiaopei, who came to Xu Du to take refuge in Cao Cao, and Liu Bei, who was so down-and-out that he couldn't do it, that his eyes lit up, maybe this person is a hero who can help my Han!
