Xun Yue was loyal to the Han family, and when he was in Xu County, Cao Cao was extremely unkind to see him, but as soon as he knew that Xun Yue actually brought his family and a pair of children of Xun Shuang to Yizhou, Cao Cao was even more angry, and he specially called Xun Yu for this matter.

However, as soon as Cao Cao saw Xun Yu at that time, he suddenly remembered the sentence against Xun Yu on the list of Han military divisions, and he didn't dare to question Xun Yu about Xun Yue.

Because Xun Yu is also loyal to the Han family, if Cao Cao uses this matter to question Xun Yu, will he force this great power to leave him too?

You must know that just last year, when Cao Cao launched the Second Battle of Xuzhou, Xun Yu made it clear that he was against it.

Sitting on the Son of Heaven and crusading against rebellion is Cao Cao's natural right.

If Cao Cao took the opportunity to raise troops to attack Yuan Shu's territory, he would not only occupy the righteousness, but also occupy the right time, place and people. In this way, Cao Cao could easily bring Lujiang County and Jiujiang County under his rule, and at the same time, he could also cut off Liu Beijun's connection with Jinyun of Runan County.

Zhao Yun used Jin Yun's name to occupy the southern part of Runan County, although he deceived the people of Runan, but in the end he couldn't hide it from Guo Jia's ears and eyes.

At that time, if Cao Cao had really adopted Xun Yu's suggestion, this would not be the case now.

Now, not only Cao Cao lost Runan County at once, but even Taishan County and Lu State were occupied by Liu Bei's generals, and, more seriously, Cao Cao sent troops repeatedly in the past three years, overusing the people's power, but failed to obtain enough benefits in the war, so that the grain reserves under his rule reached the warning line.

After the three-year war in Jian'an ended, Xun Yu told Cao Cao the truth that if there was no big harvest in Yanzhou's Tuntian next year, Cao Cao would not have enough military rations for him to raise troops to attack the surrounding forces.

That's the scariest thing.

……

On the 10th day of the winter month, Chen Deng, the former Taishou of Guangling, suddenly opened the city and raised the whole army to surrender to Liu Bei.

What everyone didn't expect was that Liu Bei seemed to have reached an agreement with Chen Deng in private, and after the opening of the city, Liu Bei neither blamed Chen Qi and Chen Deng's father and son, nor did he kill Chen Yu and Chen Cong, who were imprisoned by Chen Deng. He just moved the entire Chen family to Ping'an County in the north of Guangling County. This is already the new county seat of Guangling County, and the city guard here is temporarily served by Mi Fang.

At the end of the Third Battle of Xuzhou, Mi Fang was finally unable to hold the defense line of Donghai County, not only allowing Cao Jun to rescue the besieged Xiahou Yuan, but also almost being attacked by Yu Ban, Cao Chun and Xiahou Yuan together.

Regardless of Mi Fang's responsibility or not, as the elder brother of Liu Bei's wife, Mi Fang has to take on this responsibility, so Liu Bei can only temporarily remove Mi Fang from the post of lieutenant of Donghai County.

Let Mi Fang be responsible for guarding the Chen family, which is naturally Liu Bei's intention. When Liu Bei secretly migrated the entire Xuzhou counties except the northern part of Langya County, Taishan County and the people in Lu State to the four counties of Jianghuai, Liu Bei would naturally let go of the Chen family and let them go to be the empty Xuzhou Assassin and the ministers and Taishou of the counties of Xuzhou who could hardly find any people under their rule.

When the time comes, Liu Bei will in turn take a look at how Cao Cao and Emperor Han Xian will treat the Chen family, which has no use value except for Chen Deng. This is also one of the very important reasons why Liu Bei gladly accepted Jin Jue's plan of 'letting Xuzhou'.

At the same time, Yizhou also ushered in a cold winter, under the heavy snow, the defenders in Chengdu City were no longer able to go out of the city to break the siege, in this case, Jin Jue finally issued an order to temporarily use the snow wall to seal the gap in the east of Chengdu City, so that the soldiers responsible for protecting the Changwei could hide in the fortress and survive the winter.

So, in the third year of Jian'an, in the midst of heavy snowfall, in the chaotic situation of the Central Plains, when Yuan Shao still failed to completely eradicate the mortal enemy Gongsun Zhan, when Sun Ce had to retreat to the south of the Yangtze River to lick his wounds, and when Jin Jue's army completely surrounded Chengdu City,

With the cold winter gone.

During this period, all forces are looking for their own ways to break the deadlock.

Taking advantage of this cold winter, Cao Cao summoned his important generals and strategists to Xu County to discuss major matters.

Because the distance is the farthest, and moreover, it is necessary to be careful to guard against the sneak attack of Lu Bu's army and arrange defenses, and Cheng Yu is the last to arrive.

As soon as he entered the conference hall, Cheng Yu immediately knelt down on one knee in front of Cao Cao and saluted: "Lord, your body is well!" ”

Cao Cao was born with this disease, although it was only a typhoid cold, but the illness came very quickly, and it was quite serious, fortunately, there was no shortage of famous doctors and good medicines in the Central Plains, and after three months of recuperation, Cao Cao's illness has been basically cured. Now, it's just that his body is a little weak, if Jin Jue sees Cao Cao's appearance now, he will definitely exclaim loudly, isn't this exactly what the white-faced traitor Cao Cao should look like?

"Alright, alright! It's a lonely mistake to let Zhongde be so tired! Come on, hurry up and prepare hot ginger soup and new clothes for Zhongde. As soon as Cao Cao saw Cheng Yu coming, he immediately came to his spiritual head and commanded happily.

If you want to ask Cao Cao as a loyal strategist, it is neither Xun Yu nor Guo Jia, but Cheng Yu, who was the first to follow Cao Cao.

Along the way, Cheng Yu braved the wind and snow, riding a horse to feel Xu County, even before he entered the council hall and ordered his subordinates to clean the snow off his body, it was still difficult to hide the dust on his face. That's why Cao Cao commanded like this.

As for the others, when they entered the council chamber, they were not treated so well.

After waiting for the next person to be busy, Cheng Yu, who had drunk a bowl of hot ginger soup, finally relieved himself.

However, looking at the empty pottery bowl in his hand, Cheng Yu's heart was not very good.

Why?

It turns out that ginger soup is naturally a recipe for the cold, but in this time and space, the person who spreads it to the world is Jin Jue.

In the first year of Jian'an, when Jin Jue had just traveled to this time and space, he used such a bowl of ginger soup to make the Xuzhou soldiers borrowed by Lu Bu from Liu Bei quickly adapt to the unusually cold weather in Hedong County.

You must know that at the beginning, when Lu Bujun was extremely cold in early spring, he successfully raided and took the entire Hedong County.

This so-called 'secret recipe' was quickly discovered by secret agents from all sides and spread to the armies of various armies.

"Hahaha, Zhongde, you don't have to. After this disease, I have figured out everything. Lone now admits that among the princes of the world today, he can be the enemy of Lone, except for Yuan Shao, who is the second son of Jin who is far away in Yizhou! Seeing this, Cao Cao suddenly laughed and said.

Seeing Cheng Yu's expression, many smart people in the conference hall immediately thought of this.
