Qin Huang returned to Wuwei, so that there would be no problems within Qin Hua for the time being, and now the problem was the tiger Yuan Shao who was about to be released.

"Has Yuan Shao returned to Nanpi?"

"Yes, according to Nighthawk's report, Yuan Shao has returned to Nanpi ten days ago, and he has returned with nearly 200,000 alien troops."

"Two hundred thousand?"

Qin Hua asked with some surprise, this was tens of thousands more than the information he had obtained before.

"Yes, this is a report sent by Xu Kui personally, it shouldn't be wrong."

Xu Kui had been holding the position of Luoyang Order after helping Qin Hua kill Guo Yan and taking full control of Luoyang.

But Xu Kui himself is from the grassroots, and he hasn't even read the book well, although he has the help of subordinate civil officials before, he can barely cope with Luoyang's political affairs, but with the increasing population of Luoyang, immigrants come from different places, and Xu Kui's ability can no longer cope, so he took the initiative to ask Qin Hua for resignation.

For a person like Xu Kui who has made significant contributions, of course Qin Hua will not treat him badly, so he arranged Xu Kui to Yizhou to be responsible for the original Nighthawk within Yuan Shao's forces, and as for the position of Luoyang Ling, Qin Hua gave it to Zhang Ji.

From Taiyuan County Shou to Luoyang Order, it seems to be a demotion, but discerning people know the importance of Luoyang, and this place will become Qin Hua's seat of governance in the future, and even the national capital.

"What's going on over there Cao Cao?"

"Cao Cao's eldest son, Cao Ang, has come to Chang'an, accompanied by Man Pet. Nominally, he came to participate in the bidding meeting for the Luoyang land, but he did not leave after the bidding meeting. ”

"Did they hand over a prayer post?"

"Not yet, but Cao Ang and his entourage have been in and out of the mansions of Chang'an officials a lot recently, so they should want to dredge up the relationship before coming over."

"Okay, I'll wait for them."

After speaking, Qin Hua returned to his desk and began to write orders.

Yuan Shao's goal this time is not clear, although according to the speculation of Jia Xu and others, Yuan Shao's first target will choose Cao Cao, but always be precautionary.

Qin Hua transferred Gao Shun back from the Xiongnu, in addition to the 50,000 troops under Gao Shun, Qin Hua transferred him another 50,000, enough 100,000 to garrison the state, and cooperated with Han Sui to guard the state.

Zhang Liao led the main force of 150,000 near Chang'an to Tiger Prison Pass, and made every effort to defend several passes near Luoyang.

Ma Chao and Yan Xing led all the Xuanjia cavalry, together with the reserve of a total of 5,000 cavalry to all parts of Liangzhou, although the previous locust plague has reduced the loss a lot, but there are still a lot of hungry people, even though the government has provided help to these people, but there are still many people who choose to fall into the grass, Ma Chao and others' task is to exterminate these bandits first, in order to prevent changes.

The fall of the Great Qin Empire began with the Chen Sheng and Wu Guang uprisings, and the rebel army initially consisted of only a few hundred people, but it shook the foundation of the entire Great Qin Empire.

Although Qin Hua's rule was not like the Great Qin Empire, in order to eliminate all hidden dangers, Qin Hua still decided to extinguish all these signs.

After everything was arranged, Qin Hua was waiting for the development of the situation, how would Yuan Shao choose?

Cao Ang finally "convinced" several Chang'an officials that they could broker an alliance between Cao Cao and Qin Hua against Yuan Shao.

Just when Cao Ang was about to formally meet Qin Hua, he got the news that Yuan Shao's envoy had come to Chang'an today and had already gone to see Qin Hua.

"Sir, how is this good, how could Yuan Shao's envoy come so soon."

Man Chong also had a solemn face, the information given by Cao Cao showed that Yuan Shao should have returned to Nanpi only a few days ago, how could his envoy come so soon?

"It's okay, don't worry, I think the hussar general should be able to see the situation clearly, he must understand the truth of cold lips and teeth."

Although he said that, he was not sure in his heart, did Qin Hua really understand?

You must know that in the minds of most people, Qin Hua is more like a brave and unscrupulous martial artist, and he is also eager to repay him, which can be seen from the time of the Xuzhou War, Qin Hua suddenly sent 150,000 troops.

During this period of time, his activities in Chang'an let Man Chong know that Qin Hua was actually not rich now, but in this case, he actually blatantly sent 150,000 troops.

An army of 150,000 is not a small amount.

But this still didn't stop him from going to Xuzhou, and the matter between Qin Hua and Cao Cao at the beginning, Manzhong had also heard about it, and he actually didn't agree with Cao Cao's approach.

"What is the matter with Taiwei Yuan sending you here?"

Looking at Yuan Shao's envoy below, Qin Hua was a little disappointed, it would be good if Tian Feng came, so that he could directly detain him.

According to the course of history, Tian Feng will eventually die in the hands of Yuan Shao, so it is better to detain him and keep a great talent.

"General Qiyu, this is a letter from my lord to you."

As he spoke, the messenger took out a letter from his arms, which was taken by the waiter and handed it to Qin Hua.

Qin Hua has seen Yuan Shao's handwriting, this should be Yuan Shao's handwritten letters, and he has written a lot of them, and the words are indispensable.

The full text can be summed up in one sentence, Cao Mengde held the Son of Heaven hostage, and he Yuan Shao will raise the righteous army to crusade, hoping that others will not meddle in their affairs, so as not to get into trouble.

After reading the letter silently, Qin Hua did not have the slightest anger, and Qin Hua did not care about the arrogant tone in Yuan Shao's letter.

To be honest, Qin Hua didn't care about Yuan Shao at all, this may be caused by his deep-rooted concepts, after all, the Battle of Guandu was too famous, Yuan Shao's million-strong army was defeated by Cao Cao, and he ended up with a death.

His current strength is only stronger than Cao Cao in history, how can he care about Yuan Shao's words? Who would have a deal with a dying man.

"I understand, you go back and report to Taiwei Yuan, I won't give Cao Cao any help."

"Then the villain retired."

As soon as Yuan Shao's envoy left, Qin Hua received a letter of worship from Cao Ang asking to see him.

"Meet my uncle."

Cao Ang's first impression of Qin Hua was good, he looked dignified, dressed as a scribe, and did not lose his heroic spirit, looking similar to Qin Hua when he first met Cao Cao. No wonder Cao Cao always said that Cao Ang was most like him.

"The virtuous nephew is dignified, and Brother Cao has a successor."

Uncle Miao praised. This time, my father sent me to Chang'an to form an alliance with my uncle and defend against foreign enemies. ”

"Do you know my relationship with your father?"

"Father said that Uncle Qin is a hero, and the first time my father saw my uncle in front of Cai's mansion, I knew that my uncle was by no means an ordinary person."

Qin Hua didn't speak, just looked at Cao Ang and waited for him to continue.

Seeing that Qin Hua didn't take his own words, Cao Ang knew that Qin Hua was not affected by the flattering words just now, and calmed his mind.

"I came here to become a proton of my own free will, and I hope that my uncle can form an alliance with my father."

Cao Ang also saw that Qin Hua was not moved by words, and directly said what he meant.

"Mengde is willing."

Based on what Cao Cao did at the beginning, if Qin Hua defeated Cao Jun, it would not be an exaggeration to destroy Cao Cao's Manchus, and now he actually dared to send his eldest son over as a hostage, which was very courageous.

But maybe Cao Cao has already reached the point where he has to do it.

"I can form an alliance with you, but I can only say that I will not take the initiative to attack you, but I will not send troops to attack Yuan Shao."

Hearing Qin Hua's first sentence, the joy on Cao Ang's face just appeared, but Qin Hua's later words immediately made Cao Ang's face change greatly.

Cao Cao let his eldest son come to Chang'an as a proton this time, not just for Qin Hua's covenant of not attacking each other, this time Yuan Shao's troops were too terrifying, Cao Cao felt that he couldn't resist at all, and only Qin Hua's troops could have a chance of life.

"Uncle..."

As soon as Cao Ang wanted to speak, he saw Qin Hua waving his hand.

"Needless to say, thanks to your father's blessing, there are no extra troops in my territory."

Hearing Qin Hua say this, Cao Ang had nothing to say.

The full pet on the side was also about to say something, but he really couldn't find anything to say.

After all, this matter was Cao Cao's fault, and Man Chong also knew that Qin Hua had resentment in his heart, this time they came to ask for help, and Qin Hua's strength was not under Cao Cao, and it was impossible to say any threatening words, so Man Chong decided not to say anything first.

It was already very good to be able to obtain Qin Hua's promise not to assist Yuan Shao in attacking Cao Cao, and as for the matter of sending troops, they would slowly circulate after that, and their activities in Chang'an during this period were not meaningless.

Cao Ang signed an alliance agreement with Qin Hua, which meant that he could no longer return to Xudu, Qin Hua arranged a courtyard for him in Chang'an City, and also sent a hundred armor soldiers to escort him, which was called protection, in fact, to prevent Cao Ang from escaping.

Of course, Cao Ang has no resistance to what Qin Hua did, he is now a proton, and he must have the consciousness of being a proton, but he is very worried about his father's safety in his heart.

His younger brother Cao Chong has just been born, if Cao Cao can't survive this time, then Cao Chong may not have time to know the world.

There are also Cao Pi, Cao Zhi and other brothers, as his father's eldest son, Cao Ang loves his younger brothers very much.

"Childe, I'll go to Xudu first to recover my life, and I'll talk about the rest when I come back."

Yuan Shao has just returned to Nanpi, and it will take a lot of time to integrate the army under his command, and he has already collected materials and other things, and he should not send troops before this winter, and he will have to wait until the beginning of spring next year at the earliest, so Man Chong is not in a hurry to deal with the matter of letting Qin Hua send troops.

After sending the two groups of people away, Qin Hua decided to go to Luoyang to check the construction of the new city, and now with the money from the sale of the land, Qin Hua has enough financial resources to build Luoyang City, and there is still a little surplus.

This is mainly because the price of the land at the later bidding meeting was suddenly speculated, but it is no wonder, after all, now the world has been fighting for many years, except for Yizhou, it seems that only Qin Hua's territory is rarely affected by the war (generally he is fighting abroad), those big families pay more attention to the inheritance of their own family than who gets the world, so they can get a piece of land in Luoyang and move one of the families to Luoyang, which is of great help to the inheritance of the family.

However, before this, Qin Hua still had one more thing to deal with, that is, the matter of robbers outside Chang'an City, who dared to do things under his nose, and he didn't take himself seriously at all.

Coupled with Qin Hua's current status and strength, he even thought that these people were humiliating themselves.

"Report, General Qin Yilu asks to see you."

"Let him in."

This Qin Yilu was originally under Lu Bu's command, and his wife was the legendary crepe who made Lu Bu, Cao Cao, and Guan Yu fall for him.

When receiving Lu Bu's generals, this Qin Yilu actually wanted to dedicate his wife to Qin Hua.

Originally, Qin Hua was very disgusted with this kind of thing, and wanted to call the crepe out and tell her about Qin Yilu's behavior, and then drive this person out.

This crepe clan is indeed a beauty, and Qin Hua finally knew why Cao Cao didn't hesitate to offend Guan Yu to snatch her, why did people like Guan Yu ask Cao Cao for this woman even before attacking the city.

Qin Hua has also seen a lot of stunning women, but it is estimated that Xiu'er is only one person who can compare with this woman, and Xiu'er is a little less charming than the Crepe Clan.

After telling Qin Yilu's behavior to the Crepe family, he didn't expect the Crepe family to be dissatisfied with her husband's behavior, and the relationship between the two was still very good.

This made Qin Hua a little strange, so he had a good talk with the two, and then Qin Hua knew that they were just trying to survive in this world.

Although Qin Yilu is a military general, his own strength is not very strong, and he does not have outstanding military command ability, if he does not find a backer, even the beauty of the Light Crepe Clan may bring them ruin.

After knowing the reason, Qin Hua decided to forgive Qin Yilu and took him by his side as a captain of the guard.

As for the crepe family, of course Qin Hua didn't ask for it, after hearing the story of the two, how could Qin Hua do another act of forcibly occupying someone else's wife.

And now that the world is still competing for hegemony, Qin Hua doesn't have the heart to spend too much time on women. Of course, there is another reason, that is, because there are already many people in Qin Hua's harem.

Regarding Qin Hua's decision, Qin Yilu swore allegiance to Qin Hua forever, and he knew that Qin Hua had taken him by his side to protect the two of them.

"My lord, those people have already been recruited."

When Qin Yilu walked in, the smell of blood on his body had not dissipated, and it seemed that he had come directly from the prison.

"I don't see that you still have the talent of a cool official."

Qin Hua no longer had the slightest resistance to the bloody qi, but instead started Qin Yilu's joke.

"Hehe, I smashed a robber into the bones one by one in front of the big boss, and then..."

Qin Yilu saw Qin Hua praising himself, and immediately began to show off his exploits.

After listening to Qin Yilu's words, even Qin Hua felt a little chill down his spine, and he couldn't see that this person was really ruthless.

"Okay, just tell me the results."

"Yes, the subordinates have said more."

Qin Yilu hurriedly stopped and handed the confession of the big boss to Qin Hua.

Seeing the names written on the confession, Qin Hua immediately took the case.

"These people really don't know what to do, don't give them a way to live, they have to go to the road of death."

Saying that, Qin Hua asked people to call Xu Huang, and now Zhang Liao has gone to Luoyang, and the troops near Chang'an are all under the command of Xu Huang.

"I've arrested all the people on this list, and I'm not allowed to let any of them go."

Glancing at the list handed over by Qin Hua, Xu Huang's face changed slightly, there were at least three generals at the general level involved, and there were many generals at all levels of the army.

"Lord, what have these people done?"

"What's the matter? When they are all captured, I will tell you what they have done, and remember that not a single one of them can run, and that he must see people alive and corpses when he dies. ”

"Yes."

Xu Huang said goodbye with a solemn face and left, there are many generals on this list who are former generals of the Northern Army, and they know him well.
