Chapter 693: Northwest or Jiangnan

Gongsun Kang was afraid of Cao Cao's general trend, he stood on his own side in Liaodong, no one could manage it, he was the uncrowned king of Liaodong, how could he surrender to Cao Cao. i.e. retorted.

"I'm afraid that Cao Cao will lead troops to Liaodong and want to take away my Liaodong foundation, so it's better to accept two Yuan envoys to help me and attack Cao Cao together."

Gongsun Gong knew that his brother did not want to surrender to Cao and lose his power, so he thought for a while and admonished again.

"That's right. The elder brother can make people listen, if Cao soldiers come to attack, they must have the intention of seizing Liaodong, that is, leave two Yuan, and we will work together to resist Cao. If it does not move, it shows that he does not have the heart to take away his brother's inheritance, that is, this brother can kill two Yuan and send it to Prime Minister Cao, first, he can respect his cousin to Prime Minister Cao, and secondly, he can avoid the disaster of war, which is really a blessing for Liaodong! ”

"Brother Gong's words are really wonderful, and they should be followed."

Gongsun Kang should be the same, so he ordered someone to explore the movements of Cao Jun, Cao Jun did not move, Gongsun Kang heard it, his heart was settled, and he quickly discussed with his brother to murder Er Yuan.

said that Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang went to Liaodong, and the two secretly discussed. Yuan Shang said.

"Gongsun Kang is an incompetent person, his father is in Japan, and he often has the heart to swallow Liao, but he is slow because of Cao. Today, there are tens of thousands of soldiers in Liaodong, and the terrain is complex and rugged, so it is enough to compete with Cao Cao by taking advantage of this terrain. As long as you and I don't die for a day, the Yuan family will not die. Now my brother temporarily surrendered, to repel the Cao thief, and then make a plan to kill Gongsun Kang and seize his Liaodong land. Raise Guang Taohui for several years, develop the strength to cut down the Central Plains again, so that Hebei can be recovered. ”

"What the third brother said is reasonable."

Although Yuan Shang lost his momentum, his ambition remained undiminished, and Yuan Xi had always been weak and resourceless, and he was now obedient to his brother. The two have discussed and decided, and they are to lead the army into Gongsun Kang. Gongsun Kang sent his younger brother Gongsun Gong to greet him, leaving the second Yuan to rest in the pavilion, and the second Yuan wanted to ask to see Gongsun Kang to discuss important matters, but Gongsun Gong only pushed his brother to be sick, so he did not meet immediately.

Not a day, the fine work came back again, saying that Cao Cao's soldiers had not moved for a long time, and it seemed that there was no intention of going down to Liaodong. Gongsun Kang was overjoyed, and the heart of killing the second Yuan was more certain. That is, to discuss with his brother, Gongsun Gong offered a plan, set up a Hongmen banquet, and ambushed and killed Eryuan. Gongsun Kang followed, but first ambushed the knife and axe hand in the wall clothes in the palace, and sent someone to call Er Yuan to see. Eryuan heard Gongsun Kang's rumor, and while he was excited, he did not have any suspicions, and came to see him quickly. After everyone saw each other, Gongsun Kang ordered the second Yuan to sit down.

When the weather was cold, Yuan Shang saw that there was no mattress on the bed to keep out the cold, frowned, bowed to Gongsun Kang, and pleased.

"The weather is cold, and I hope that the Ming Gong will give me a seat."

When Gongsun Kang heard this, his face suddenly changed greatly, and he was furious in the hall.

"You wait for the head of the two, and you will travel thousands of miles! Why do you need to sit at the table!? ”

Yuan Shang was shocked, and Yuan Xi was even more frightened, and he pounced and was paralyzed to the ground. Gongsun Kang shouted angrily again and shouted.

"Why don't you do it! Kill the thieves! ”

The knife and axe hand in the ambush wall clothes rushed out when he heard the order, and instantly engulfed Er Yuan, slashing with a knife, and Er Yuan couldn't avoid it, and they were all killed by the knife and axe hand under Gongsun Kang. Gongsun Kang ordered someone to cut off the head of Er Yuan, store it in a wooden box, and send it to Liucheng to see Cao Cao.

It is said that Cao Cao is in Liucheng and will not move. Xiahoudun, Cao Ren and other generals, fearing that Luoyang's troops would be weak and would be taken advantage of, had advice to persuade Cao Cao to return to Luoyang as soon as possible and Baoding the rear if he did not go to Liaodong. Cao Cao appeased the generals, let them calm down for a while, and wait for the second Yuan head to arrive, even if the class teacher returned to the court. None of the generals believed it.

Suddenly, a soldier came to report, and Gongsun Kang of Liaodong sent people to send Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang to meet the head, and all the generals were shocked. The messenger presented the letter, and the head of the two Yuan. Cao Cao ordered someone to open the wooden box, and sure enough, it was Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang.

Cao Cao laughed loudly.

"Haha. Sure enough, there is no expectation of filial piety! ”

Cao Cao then rewarded the envoys, and named Gongsun Kang as the Marquis of Xiangping and the general of Zuo. Cao Cao was stable, and seeing that all the officials of His Royal Highness were full of suspicion, Cao Cao took out Guo Jia's book to show the officials.

The book is a little bit like that.

"Now I heard that the two sons of Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang were defeated and went to Liaodong, and the Ming Duke must not add troops. Gongsun Kang was afraid of Yuan's annexation for a long time, and the second Yuan went to vote, and Gongsun Kang would be suspicious. If the lord strikes him with troops at this time, the two will meet the enemy together, and they will not be in a hurry. If the lord is slow, Gongsun Kang is afraid of the general trend of the lord, and he will inevitably kill Er Yuan to appease the lord's heart. ”

When all the officials saw it, they all enthusiastically praised it, and they all said that Guo Jia was like a god, worthy of the name of the 'ghost talent'. With the death of Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi, the Yuan family was officially declared extinct. Cao Cao seized the Yuan clan's territory, shocked Hebei, and its strength became the most magnificent force in the world.

After the congratulations were completed, Xun You, Cheng Yu and other strategists asked together.

"Hebei is established, and now the prime minister will return to Luoyang early, so it can be built early, and it is a policy to go down to the south of the Yangtze River or to the northwest."

Cao Cao laughed, exuding the pride of swallowing the world.

"Jiangnan and Northwest are one of the two. I will cover most of the world, and then I will ask who can block my edge, and in a few years, the world will be determined. I've had this ambition for a long time! What you say is exactly what I want. ”

Cao Cao pacified Hebei, and all the civil and military officers and sergeants returned to their hearts like arrows and returned to the Central Plains quickly. Cao Cao sent his army back to the dynasty on the same day and rushed to Ye County, Jizhou, where Cao Cao's army was resting in the city. Cao Cao was suddenly interested, came to the east corner tower of Yecheng, and looked up at astronomy by the railing. Shi Xunyou accompanied him on the side, Cao Cao knew a lot about celestial phenomena, pointed to the sky for two days, and said.

"The northwest is prosperous, the south is prosperous, and the two are thriving, I am afraid that they can't be taken lightly!"

Xun Yu hurriedly saluted and responded.

"With Prime Minister Tianwei, the Yuan clan has nearly 700,000 people, and they can't resist. The prime minister now has half of the world, and its momentum is more than several times more than before, in the northwest and south of the Yangtze River, the prime minister is at his fingertips, why should he be afraid of this astronomical phenomenon! ”

Xun Yu was talking when he suddenly saw a golden light outside the city, rising from the ground. Xun You was shocked and hurriedly said.

"Prime Minister, the golden light is shining, it is an auspicious omen, there must be a treasure underground!"

When Cao Cao heard this, he quickly went downstairs and ordered a team of soldiers to dig it up with the light. After a while, the soldiers dug out a bronze finch in the golden light, and Cao Cao quickly asked Xun You.

"What is the reason for this?"

Xun You remembered what Cao Cao had just said, and heard that he was quite worried about the expedition to the northwest and the south of the Yangtze River, and now it coincides with this vision. Xun You's brain was spinning, his mind was thoughtful, and he was anxious and witty, and said immediately.

"There is a rumor in ancient times that Shun's mother dreamed of the jade sparrow in her arms, and gave birth to the eternal emperor Shun. The bronze sparrow obtained by the prime minister today is an auspicious omen, and the omen of the prime minister will soon be like Shun, becoming the emperor of the ages and winning the world! ”

Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard this, and his worries were removed, and he thought that the generals in the army, because of the conquest of the Yuan family, had a lot of war-weariness, which happened to appease everyone's hearts. Cao Cao then ordered to make a high platform to celebrate, so a large construction, Cao Cao has a thought in his heart, the bronze bird indicates that he is the destiny of heaven, just by this one of the hearts of the soldiers, and the two can deter the princes of the world, so that they are afraid of the destiny of heaven, and they have come to surrender.

So Cao Cao ordered people to break the ground and cut the wood, burn the tiles and grind the bricks, and build the bronze bird platform on the Zhanghe River. It takes about one year to complete. The young son Cao Zhi understands Cao Cao's intentions, so he has advice.

"If the father wants to shake the princes and calm his heart, the construction of this platform must not be done hastily, and the child has an idea. Build a floor platform, stand with three, the middle is high, called the bronze bird, the left one, called the jade dragon, the right one, called the golden phoenix. Two flying bridges were also made, and they went up into the sky, which was spectacular. That's how it works.

Cao Cao bowed slightly.

"My son has a point. If you want to get great results, this station should be the first in the world! ”

It turned out that Cao Cao had five sons, but Cao Zhi was sensitive and intelligent, good at writing, and good at songs. Cao Cao loves Cao Zhi the most on weekdays. So Cao Cao left Cao Zhi and Cao Pi to build a platform in Ye County. Cao Cao collected all the troops of Yuan Shao, a total of 340,000 yuan, and returned to Luoyang. Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty drove Luan, led hundreds of officials from the court to greet him, and Cao Cao led his troops into the city, and the people cheered in unison. Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty held a banquet in the Luoyang Imperial Palace to wash the dust for a group of meritorious people, which is naturally not a problem.

Cao Cao's great heroes, Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Xun Yu and other ministers, as well as Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xiahou brothers, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Zhang Jaw, Gao Ran and other soldiers, were all named liehous. After the feast was completed, Cao Cao attacked the Yuan family, and the jurisdiction covered half of the country, and the princes of the world were all convinced, and Emperor Han Xian and some people who wanted to support the Han family, seeing that Cao Cao was unstoppable, it was inevitable that he would be disheartened. Since then, Cao Cao has been in shock, and the princes of all parts of the world are in danger, fearing that Cao Cao will lead a large army to attack his own territory next.

Cao Cao's ambition and the heart of winning the world are well known. So where will he point next?

Someone, Cao Cao reunited the strategists and generals to discuss, and wanted to make arrangements for the great cause of fighting for the world. Striving for the great cause of the world, such as sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, Cao Cao knows this very well, and will never be as conformist as Liu Biao and Liu Yan, in Cao Cao's eyes, such behavior is like sitting still!

Cao Cao sat in the first seat, closed his eyes, and said lightly.

"Northwest, or Jiangnan. Can the princes have a resolution? ”

Everyone unconsciously set their eyes on Jia Xu, the military advisor, Jia Xu humbly saluted everyone, and then turned his eyes to Guo Jia, and everyone immediately looked over. At this time, Guo Jia's face was still a little pale, since Cao Cao's triumphant return, Cao Cao had a lot of affairs, and Guo Jia had agreed that the banquet had not yet been promised at this time. Although Guo Jia has been recuperating for several months, he still has not improved, but before that, Guo Jia secretly ordered the imperial doctor not to tell Cao Cao about the matter, so as not to distract Cao Cao. Those imperial doctors were afraid of Cao Cao, and they had the intention to secretly remind Cao Cao, but Cao Cao was entangled in affairs, and they never had a chance to get close. Therefore, Cao Cao did not know that Guo Jia's condition had not recovered at this time.

Guo Jia got up slowly, beat his spirits, and bowed. Jia Xu, Xun Yu, Xun You and other sharp-eyed people all found that Guo Jia was quite inappropriate, and their faces changed.

"It seems that Fengxiao's illness has not been cured!"

Xun Yu silently slandered, and unconsciously set his eyes on Cao Cao, who was closing his eyes and recuperating on the first seat. Cao Cao was bent on his hegemony at this time, and it was inevitable that he would be slightly negligent in his subordinate martial arts. However, in terms of Cao Cao's hegemony or affection, Guo Jia cannot afford to lose. Regarding Guo Jia's condition, Xun Yu didn't feel a little anxious.

Xun Yu thought secretly, and at this time Guo Jia had already opened his mouth to speak.

"If the lord conquers Jiangnan, there must be a big obstacle before it can be done."

"Oh? The prime minister is powerful in the world, there are few peerless talents in Jiangnan, and Liu Jingsheng is even more mediocre and incompetent, and he only knows how to defend one place. Let's ask who in Jiangnan can hinder the prime minister's edge. I don't know who the obstacle of Fengxiaokouzi is? ”

The judge was slightly shocked, Cao Cao's power, he felt it deeply, so he asked this question.

"This person is Uncle Liu Huang, who is famous all over the world in the name of benevolence. Liu Xuande! ”
