In the spring of 312 AD, Sun Jian was defeated to Yuan Shu, and only Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Sun Jing, and Sun Ce were left under his command, and more than 100 horsemen were incorporated by Yuan Shu.

Chen Wang Liu Chong, Xiang Luo Jun, with his wife and children, led more than 1,000 strong crossbow soldiers who were willing to go north, and more than 20,000 people who were deeply favored by King Chen, set off to the east, got on the Cao army ship on the Huai River, went down the river, and then went north along the coast, and the destination was Liaodong County under the jurisdiction of Cao Xingyue's father-in-law Tian Shao.

After getting accustomed to the cold climate of Liaodong, he will build a city and a country in the summer on the territory bought by Cao Jun from Goguryeo and Buyeo.

In the past, Dong Zhuo's affairs in the Western Regions of the country, and Dong Zhuo had not yet set off, the world did not take Cao Xing's proposal to divide the feudal land seriously, and it was not until King Chen really established the Chen State in the northeast of Liao, that the world reacted, and the world knew that Cao Xing really planned to return to the Zhou ceremony.

This makes many Confucian scholars in the world who want to return to the Zhou rites, their minds are lively, and among the scholars, when they talk about Cao Xing, no one says that he is a concubine, and they all respect Mr. Huanglong.

No matter what people in the world think in their hearts, but on the surface, they all recognize the Cao family, who calls the resumption of Zhou rites the purpose of the entire Confucianism?

Moreover, Liu Liu, the king of Chen, is favored in the Northeast, and has expressed his goodwill to the Liu family of the Han family, at least expressing that I will not kill it quickly, which makes many people loyal to the Han family feel good.

This makes Cao Xing's prospects very good.

The remaining Pei State and Liang State in Yuzhou, and even the powerful Runan, had no resistance to merge into Cao Xing's forces, just when Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao felt great pressure and were ready to unite under Cao Cao's run.

Cao Xing left 100,000 men and horses stationed in Yuzhou, led the remaining 200,000, and the 50,000 new troops composed of most of the Haoqiang and a small number of Hanmen who newly joined the Xinchu coalition army in Yuzhou withdrew.

The 100,000 requisitioned heavy troops and auxiliaries dispersed, and the 150,000 troops returned to Luoyang.

At the city gate, Yuan Kui honestly led hundreds of officials to greet him, and the young emperor was also among them, but was strongly rejected by Li Ru in the name of Cao Xing.

Listening to the scout report, Cao Xuan checked the triple armor under the military uniform, led the civil and military forces, accelerated the speed of the horse, and came to the front of the army.

"Xiaguan meets the prime minister! Prime Minister Lao came all the way to greet him, ashamed and ashamed! ”

Facing Cao Xing's first salute, Yuan Kui led all the officials to make a move:

"General Wei's army is triumphant, and he has made another meritorious contribution to the imperial court! A certain talent, thank you General Wei for Your Majesty! ”

Cao Xing, who was accustomed to the court, and Yuan Kui played an official tone with each other enthusiastically, touting each other, and just after completing the process, Cao Xing said goodbye to Yuan Kui and ran to the right car general among the hundred officials.

The fake son Cao Yu successfully unified the underground forces in Luoyang, and on the surface, he wore a head-hunting official uniform, and secretly became the ranger, ruffian, and hooligan helmsman of Luoyang.

Therefore, if there is any force that knows and has the most complete knowledge of intelligence in addition to the official intelligence department, it must be the underground forces.

The intelligence of the underground forces is definitely the most complete in the world.

And Luoyang, Jinyiwei and the underground forces are now in their own hands.

Yuan Kui took advantage of his departure, and secretly made small movements, and he was already well known to himself, so except for the only face on the surface, he couldn't find a reason to talk to him more.

It's just that Yuan Kui is still very useful, at least during his time as prime minister, it is difficult for Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu to really attack themselves, he dares to attack, it is a big rebellion, that is, to crusade against the elders with the younger generation, not to mention that there is also a Taifu Yuan Feng in Luoyang.

Cao Xuan thought in his heart, the smile on his face remained unchanged, and when he walked towards Zhu Jun, the general of the right chariot, he was even more sincere, and before he arrived in front of Zhu Jun, his body had already bent down and bowed:

"Little nephew, meet uncle!"

Zhu Jun is one of the last three famous generals of the Han Dynasty, and now he is half a hundred years old, and his frost-white hair is much older than his parents.

Zhu Jun's eyes were full of kindness, as if he was looking at his juniors: "Xiaojun! You've grown up! Uncle and your master are so proud of you! ”

How sincere this love was, Cao Xing's heart was extremely moved.

Although Luoyang is big, people like Zhu Jun who really regard themselves as sons and nephews can't find a second person.

Cao Xing was moved by another worship:

"It was my uncle's careful teaching in my ignorance, and at the same time sending his subordinates to support me and support me, that allowed me to get through the most difficult initial stage and get me where I am today!

Here, I thank my uncle again, and you will be my uncle in the future! ”

"Good, good!"

Zhu Jun helped up Cao Xing, who had worshiped three times, pulled him, like a family member, chatted about family life, and joined hands in Luoyang City.

Yuan Kui, who had been ignored since he finished the official process, twitched his face, and he couldn't see joy or sorrow, so he led the hundred officials and followed Cao Xing back to the city.

After entering the city, Cao Xing said goodbye to the hundred officials one by one before returning to the Marquis of Chu's mansion.

Just returned, and didn't even have time to look at his family and Tian Xiang's newborn son Cao He, so he came to the council hall.

Cao Xing's forces have already arrived and sat down, and even the two three princes, Xu Xiang and Ding Gong, have also arrived.

The two of them have been Cao Xing's dogs for so long, and they can no longer tear off Cao Xing's label, so they simply joined the Chuhou Mansion.

With the arrival of the two, Li Ru, Lu Bu and other civil and military forces had to give up their positions as the left and right leaders, after all, the official positions were there.

"Greetings, Lord!"

Wenwu wrapped up Xu Xiang and Ding Gong, all shouting like this.

Cao Xuan walked to the main seat, and Cao Feng, Han Meng, and Zhang Nan guarded the left and right sides.

Looking at the civil and military forces of no less than 100 people under his command, Cao Xing waved his hand: "Take a seat!" Wen You talks about the recent changes in the world! ”

"No!"

Everyone sat down, and Li Ru continued to stand and said:

"My lord, when you crusaded against Sun Jian and occupied Yuzhou, except for half of Chen Liu, Yanzhou was still in the hands of Zhang Miao's brothers, and the rest were all captured by Yuan Shu.

Now Yuan Shu has turned to the north, south of the Yellow River in Qingzhou, except for the Beihai Kingdom, Donglai County, and coastal areas controlled by our army, the rest have fallen into the hands of Yuan Shu!

According to intelligence, Yuan Shu is gathering an army in Guandu, preparing to go north to Qinghe County, which belongs to Qingzhou, and is also under his rule! ”

Cao Xuan nodded quietly, and looked at Xu Xiang and Ding Gong:

"My virtuous brother still has some talents, in less than a year, the two states are in hand, fast enough! That is, brothers, must not be supported, Xu Gong and Ding Gong will recommend Yuan Shu as the general of Zhengdong and the Marquis of Qi tomorrow, and lead the military and political affairs of Yanzhou and Qingzhou, how about it? ”
