Changyi, the new Han imperial capital, the hinterland of Yanzhou, the original Xu capital has become the first layer of defense of the new imperial capital, by the general Xiahou Yuan personally led 40,000 elite soldiers to guard, although Cao Cao lost to Yuan Xi, but his first official victory, and even Yuan Shao's death, still brought him enough prestige, in the hearts of the people, Cao Cao's defeat, more because the northern heritage is too terrible, and as long as the Son of Heaven is still in his hands, Cao Cao is still the one who can nominally command the world's heroes, What's more, he still has Si Li, Yuzhou, Yanzhou, Xuzhou, and Yangzhou in his hands, and no one in the world is qualified to look down on him except Yuan Xi, the first Yan King in troubled times.

I saw that in the new Sikong Mansion in Changyi, a hearty laugh sounded, and in the inner hall, Cao Cao held a piece in his hand, his face full of joy.

Xun Yu, Xun Yu, and Cheng Yu all smiled bitterly and shook their heads, others have been bullied like this, Sikong is still so happy.

"Sikong, the minister has ordered General Xiahou Yuan to prepare, and Xiliang will also support him at any time" Xun You said, he has taken over Guo Jia's position, in charge of the military, and has become the mastermind of the new generation, and he is even more determined to implement the three-legged strategy.

"No need, I can't afford to fight, he is reminding a certain person, don't ignore the peace between the two parties because of such a trivial matter, the development of things is beyond his expectations, he is reluctant now, but the majesty of the king must be maintained, so he thought of the Son of Heaven, he is really calculating!" Cao Cao waved his hand absently.

"Sikong, then don't give it, force him to kill the three of Guan Ning, so Yuan Xi will inevitably be injured" Cheng Yu said with cold eyes.

Cao Cao grinned, looked at Xun Yu and said, "Wen Ruo, which sentence has he said the most since he became this Sikong?"

Xun Yu instantly comprehended it and said with a smile: "What Sikong said the most is that he is never afraid of notoriety."

"That's right, reputation is just a tool in the hands of our people, we can pinch it as much as we want, what the people can hear, is what we want them to know, just three people can make Yuan Xi hurt, that's a joke, although he was defeated by this nephew, he is really powerful, in such a broken time, he has completely grasped the north in his hands, believe it or not, these three people are dead, there will indeed be a little turmoil, but it is estimated that with the ruthlessness of this nephew, these three people will soon be left in the north. If he unifies the world, these three people will probably disappear completely from history," Cao Cao said disdainfully.

"Sikong is wise, in fact, the minister thinks this is a good thing, because as long as the Son of Heaven summons it, in the eyes of the world, Yan is still a subject country of the Han Dynasty, and Sikong still holds this absolutely orthodox position, which is very important, because of the failure of the second official crossing, many people have been dissatisfied with Sikong, just with the help of this time to erect prestige and establish benevolence, this is a win-win situation, we have to look at the overall situation, don't take advantage of small advantages" Xun You supported loudly.

"In addition, our army is now continuing to recuperate, hoarding grain, grass and soldiers, Yuan Xi has a strong personality, if he is offended because of this matter, then it is certain that he will never give up if he does not find some trouble, which has a great conflict with our two-year peace plan" Xun Yu said.

"Wen Ruo said to the point, see through, although Yuan Xi is nominally a second generation, but he is actually the same as a certain class, and he can be regarded as relying on his own efforts, courage and vision, defeating Cao, defeating the two brothers who occupy a huge advantage, and winning the north, and is also the master of entrepreneurship, which is completely different from that Jiangdong Sun Quan, so he is by no means a person who suffers losses and does not fight back, Qingzhou Yuan Ping's department, the sword is pointed directly at Xuzhou, it is simply a line apart, the little force in Xuzhou cannot be stopped, and the contract is to be maintained, What's more, Cao still has the upper hand? Cao Cao smiled slightly.

"Sikong is wise, when our army cultivates for two or three years, we can seize the land of Guanzhong, the country of Yizhou Tianfu, and when we are connected with Si Li, the strength of our army will inevitably skyrocket, and we will not be afraid of Yuan Xi" Xun Yu said.

"Haha, have all the spies been sent?" Cao Cao said with concern.

"Sikong Anxin, Jingzhou, Yizhou have been sent out, these two places have neither male lords, nor unscrupulous generals, there are many factions, mixed and do not look, the spies of our department will soon be in the high-level, but Guanzhong Zhang Lu is a little troublesome, the state and religion are united, although corruption and corruption, but if you say that you take refuge in Sikong, there is still a bit of suffering" Xun Yu said.

"So a certain Yun Chang sent over, he is now more anxious than anyone else, and he can't wait to kill the north immediately, this sharp spirit will inevitably make him invincible, Zhang Lu can't stop it" Cao Cao waved his hand confidently.

"Speaking of which, how could Yuan Xi suddenly worship Liu Bei last time," Cheng Yu said solemnly.

"It must be profitable, otherwise he wouldn't be so? I just don't know where this is going," Xun You frowned.

"No matter what it is, it's a matter of the north, it has nothing to do with us for the time being, our army now has two goals, the first is to cultivate for two to three years, and the second is to focus on Yizhou and Guanzhong, of course, if Jingzhou can, Cao also wants it" Cao Cao said with a smile.

"No!!"

"Sikong, it's not good" I saw a middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper suddenly ran in in a hurry.

"What's wrong?" Cao Cao frowned.

"General Xu Huang is kneeling outside the Sikong Mansion," the butler said.

"What" Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and said with concern: "What happened to Gongming"

"Today, the third prince drank too much, and he was crazy about messing around in General Xu Huang's military camp, saying that he wanted to chant a poem for the division of a hundred battles, and General Xu Huang's persuasion was useless, so he could only let people tie up the drunk third prince and send him back to the mansion, and then General Xu Huang tied himself up, knelt outside the Sikong Mansion, and waited for the Sikong to punish him" The housekeeper said in a low voice.

"Rebel" Cao Cao slapped the desk, stood up angrily, and ordered: "You go and give an order, tie him up immediately, it is not Gongming who wants to kneel, it is him who is a rebel"

"Sikong, don't be angry, the third prince is also young and vigorous, he must not mean it" Xun Yu hurriedly persuaded.

"Young, Yuan Xi is as old as him, he is already the lord of the north, the king of a country, for the revival of the Yuan family, he works hard every day, what about him? I know all day long that I am addicted to the dance pavilion and the song stage, drunk and dreaming of death" Cao Cao said, his face became more and more worried, and said: "It's not just Cao Zhi, call all the heirs here, even Cao Chong is the same, I want to talk to them."

After the butler responded, he said, "That General Xu Huang"

"Go in person" Cao Cao waved his hand and walked outside.

"Sikong, then Yuan Xi's side" Xun You immediately asked.

"Give it to him, but it is necessary to thoroughly publicize this matter, to show the benevolence of the Son of Heaven, and the orthodox status of Changyi, the lord of the world is in Changyi, even the Yan Kingdom is under Changyi, this benefit is a certain benefit" After Cao Cao finished ordering, he walked outside.

"No!" After the three of them answered, Xun You glanced at Cao Cao, who left angrily, and said, "It is estimated that the third prince is uncomfortable today."

"Sikong is also worried about the future, after all, how young Yuan Xi is, if a few sons don't succeed, the great cause will collapse in an instant" Cheng Yu shook his head and said.

Xun Yu smiled bitterly and comforted: "Sikong is still in good health now, we don't have to worry at all, Sikong will teach his son, let's go back and discuss this matter, and then hand it over to the northern envoys!" ”

"No!"
