Prime Minister's Mansion - Military Secret Room, located in a rockery in the back house, from the outside, strange stones such as forests, trees blocked, concealment is very strong, the secret room is several zhang deep underground, connected by spiral steps, with three iron gates, excellent sound insulation effect, more tiger and leopard elite guards, no matter what is discussed, there is no possibility of eavesdropping and leaking!

The military secret room - a radius of thirty or forty zhang, all built of boulders, the walls are extremely strong, and it is divided into conference rooms, archives, military rooms, rest rooms, grain storage rooms, and several wells...... It can be used for hundreds of people, living for several months, it can be called an underground world, it is said that there is a secret passage, which leads directly to the outside of Xuchang City, as for the location of the secret passage, only Cao Cao knows!

In the conference room, Cao Cao was wearing soft armor, holding a sword in his hand, sitting on the main seat, his eyes were shining, and he was not drunk at all, but was full of the aura of Jin Ge Iron Horse, and behind him, there was also a pair: 'Hebei military and political map!' ’

The map area is very large, one zhang and two feet high, and one zhang and five feet wide, which is made of four cowhides, which mark the mountains, rivers, cities, roads, population, grain production, and garrison locations of Hebei...... The content is extremely detailed, even if Yuan Shao used it himself, that's it!

Over the years, Cao Cao presided over the military affairs, bent on leveling the four seas, and ending the division of the princes, so he sent a large number of envoys and spies to check the terrain of the states in the world, and secretly drew a map for military decision-making.

"Click! …… Click! Click! ”

In the low footsteps, Xiao Yi, Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Xun You, Cheng Yu, Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuan...... In addition, the four brothers Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, Cao Zhi, and Cao Xiong, wearing armor and holding swords, also attended the meeting and began to participate in military affairs!

In the conference room, there was silence, the needle drop could be heard, and no one spoke, but their eyes flashed, and they kept communicating privately, and everyone knew in their hearts that a big war was about to begin, and its importance was no less important than the battle of Guandu, the former decided to survive, and the latter had a relationship between rise and fall!

"Since the old man came to power, he has assisted the Son of Heaven, pacified the people, educated the people, and persuaded the farmers diligently, and wanted to create a prosperous era in China with the way of benevolence, but the princes were stubborn, divided one side, and resisted the imperial decrees.

The Yuan family, the world eats Hanlu, does not think of serving the country with loyalty, but plots against it, the court severely punishes it, and still refuses to repent, the old man is ready to send troops to the Northern Expedition, and in one fell swoop, he leveled the four states of Hebei, captured the Yuan father and son, and sacrificed the prisoners under the imperial ranks, what do you think? ”

Cao Cao's voice was thick and calm, exuding a momentum of holding the universe in his hands, but in his heart, it was turbulent, joyful, and fearful......

Happily, after years of conquest and painstaking management, he controlled the five states of Xu, Henan, Yan, Si and Liang, if the Northern Expedition was successful, the Yuan clan was eliminated, and then the four states of Qing, Hebei, and You, at that time, the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, they occupied Kyushu, and there were two-thirds of the world, and the Cao family's Wang Tu hegemony was completely successful!

What is frightening is that the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, with a profound background, still control the land of the four states, as well as millions of people, and the strength cannot be underestimated, if the Northern Expedition is unfavorable and let the Yuan family turn the tables again, it will be very bad, and such things often appear in history, until the last moment, no one dares to speak of victory!

"Hiss! …… Sending troops to the Northern Expedition is inevitable, and we can make meritorious contributions, but the suffering is greater! ”

"Humph! …… It's not just a big difficulty, it's dangerous, like walking on thin ice, and if you're not careful, I'm afraid you'll ......."

……………………………………

The prime minister spoke, the important ministers were no longer silent, or gearing up, preparing for a decisive battle, or talking to themselves, their faces were sad, for the Northern Expedition, they were also happy and afraid, the Cao family called the king and hegemon, they can also fly Huang Tengda, seal the wife and the son, the problem is, this big fat meat in Hebei is really not easy to swallow, and if you don't get it, you will choke to death!

Sending troops to the Northern Expedition, attacking the city, can be described as difficult, remember Jian'an-the first year, the whole army attacked Xuzhou, the whole battle lasted for half a year, the soldiers suffered heavy casualties, the money and food were consumed innumerable, almost gave up halfway, fortunately Cao Cao's perseverance was firm, and Guo Jia and Xiao Yi made suggestions, which broke through Xiapi and eliminated the Lu Bu group!

A Lu Bu, a Xuzhou, and it took a lot of effort, and now they have to deal with it, but the Yuan family, as well as the four states of Hebei, are more than ten times more difficult, in addition, the soldiers are fierce and dangerous, and the swords are ruthless, who dares to say that this battle will be won, and who dares to say that they are unscathed?

"Yuan's brutal and unkind, poisonous creatures, the hearts of the people in the four states of Hebei have long been lost, the prime minister sent troops to the Northern Expedition, in line with the will of heaven, and the people are obedient, it is a righteous army, it must be invincible, and it will succeed!

However, the affairs of the world need to move with the times, the time is ripe, smooth sailing, the time is not right, the steps are difficult, the subordinates think: The Northern Expedition is not yet mature, and it should not be acted rashly, there are three reasons......"

Shang Shuling-Xun Yu left the table and stepped forward, first paid homage with a big salute, and then used the most polite and euphemistic tone to oppose the Northern Expedition, at least not now!

"The hundred-legged insect, dead but not stiff, the battle of Guandu, Yuan's loss of troops and generals, fled in embarrassment, but the tree has deep roots, the strength can not be underestimated, the prime minister sent troops to the Northern Expedition, the road is far away, the people are sleepy and the horses are lacking, the enemy army is waiting for work, and there is a city to defend, and the first three points of victory before the battle, this is indispensable!

The Guandu War, our army died more than 80,000 in battle, the consumption of money and grain is innumerable, so far there is no recovery, the prime minister sent troops to the Northern Expedition, I am afraid that the grain and grass, military salaries, and people's husbands are difficult to supply in a timely manner.

Hebei has a vast area, a large population, and the Xiongnu, Karasuma, Xianbei for harm, if the prime minister wants to achieve his full success, our army will inevitably pour out, at that time, the years will be delayed, the rear is empty, Sun Ce, Liu Biao, Zhang Lu, Liu Zhang's generation in the south, will inevitably take advantage of the weakness to enter, sneak attack Xuchang City, our army is in the back of the enemy, dilemma...... These three are not necessary!

Knowing that he can't do it, this wise man doesn't take it, and he also hopes that the prime minister will cultivate civil governance, train soldiers and horses, and accumulate grain and grass, and after three years and five years, when the soldiers are strong and strong, he will send troops to the Northern Expedition again, and he will definitely succeed in one fell swoop! ”

After saying the opinion, Xun Yu touched the ground with his head, knelt down, and hoped that Cao Cao would take back the order.

In all fairness, Xun Yu's three opinions, every sentence is reasonable, it is the words of the old Cheng to seek the country, which is supported by most of the civil ministers, and even the generals who are gearing up have gradually wavered, they want to make meritorious contributions, not send troops to death, since the chance of victory is not big, why force the troops, and live a few years of peace!

"Whoosh! …… Sou! ”

Xiao Yi, Guo Jia, one article and one martial arts, the two auxiliary ministers, have been listening quietly, and they also agree with Xun Yu's opinion, they have discussed in private, now send troops to the Northern Expedition, there are too many difficulties, the chance of winning is only fifty percent, if you cultivate for a few years, and then send troops to the Northern Expedition, the chance of winning will be eighty!

The problem is that they know that the odds of victory are not great, but they can't oppose it, the prosperity of the Cao Ying Group depends on the unity of the upper and lower levels, sincere unity, especially Cao Cao, Xiao Yi, Guo Jia, always coincide, advance and retreat together, if the three of them have differences, causing discord within the group, it is more terrible than losing the battle!

Besides, Cao Cao is the prime minister and father-in-law, Xiao Yi and Guo Jia are subordinates and well-behaved sons-in-law, no matter what the circumstances, they must support their father-in-law, even if they have objections, they can only admonish them privately, and they must not oppose them publicly!

Xiao Yi and Guo Jia are the leaders, they don't express their stance publicly, and most of the rest of the civil and military ministers choose to be silent, and the question of whether to send troops suddenly fell into a stalemate!

If this is wrong, the people of Li in Hebei are deeply poisoned by the Yuan family, and they are looking forward to waiting for Wang Shi for a long time, the old man is the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, the commander of justice, and the crusade against the rebellious thieves, he will be invincible, why bother to delay the years and lose the hope of the people?

The matter of sending troops to the Northern Expedition, the old man has made up his mind, and he will definitely not repent, who dares to have any objections, it will be like this case...... Click! ”

As he spoke, Cao Cao pulled out his Heavenly Sword and slashed it on the bookcase, which suddenly split in half and collapsed with a bang, filling the conference room with a killing aura, and also making the ministers shudder!

In all fairness, Cao Cao has the wind of the master, and he always humbly accepts the opinions of his subordinates, and today he is unusual, deterring the ministers by force, and forcibly passing resolutions, but he has a last resort, three years and five years are too long, and he is only seizing the day!

Cao Cao is forty-eight years old, he has been fighting for many years, his body is extremely expensive, his energy and physical strength are not as good as before, and between his temples, he has already given birth to gray hair, like the sun in the afternoon, although it is radiant, but it is gradually falling......

The ancients said: 'A person who lives fifty is not called an untimely death', the average life expectancy in the Qin and Han dynasties was very short, Cao Cao was forty-eight years old, even if he entered old age, a disease, an accident...... It may fall at any time, but the strong enemy has not been destroyed, the great cause has not been accomplished, and the heirs are still very weak.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao's eyes turned and fell on Xiao Yi, who was tall and energetic, at the age of twenty-seven, it was the time to make contributions and forge ahead, just like the morning sun, which was really enviable...... If he falls, is he a capable minister of the Cao family? Or do you want to be a powerful minister?

"The years are like a knife cutting the sky, I don't have much time, I must sweep Hebei in my lifetime, dominate the world, and leave a solid foundation for my children and grandchildren, only in this way, Cao's country, can sit longer!"

After stabilizing his mind, Cao Cao secretly swore that as long as the country changed hands and was replaced by the son of the Cao family, under the general trend of peace, Xiao Yi or others could only be able ministers for a lifetime, and the traitorous male was exclusive to the troubled times!
