40. Cao Cao occupies Luoyang

Sun Jian led the remnants of the army all the way to a shoal, he rode a horse and ran in front, and Huang Gai and the three of them were also a lot behind him at this time. At this moment, suddenly a light suddenly came on the river, but it was three big ships that stopped in front of him!

Sun Jian shouted: "Who is here!" ”

There was no one on the other side to talk, only the sound of a bowstring sounded. A rain of arrows rushed towards Sun Jian! Sun Jian hurriedly waved his knife to parry, but it was too late! It was dark and the arrows were dense, and everyone only listened to Sun Jian's scream, seeing that the fierce tiger Sun Jian was pierced by ten thousand arrows, and fell to the ground with the horse that sat down. Huang Gai and the three rushed to the scene, but they only had time to snatch back Sun Jian's body!

On the Luoyang side, as the people from all walks of life gradually left, the alliance of princes has already existed in name only. In the end, the dilapidated Luoyang City was left to Cao Cao, mainly because Cao Cao did not have a clear place to settle down at this time, although Luoyang was burned down most, but the city wall was still burned badly in the city, but some of them can still be used after repair.

The most critical problem is that there were originally 100,000 people in Luoyang City, and now there are less than 20,000 left, and most of them are old people and children, and all the young and strong have been taken away by Dong Zhuo. How these people eat has become a big problem.

At this time, the Hedong Wei family and the Hongnong Yang family both stood up and asked people to give money to people. With their help, Cao Cao quickly stabilized the situation in Luoyang. Even the Bishui Pass and the burned Tiger Prison Pass were taken over by Cao Cao. With the territory and the support of others, Cao Cao's strength swelled dramatically.

However, even with the support of these two, Cao Cao didn't want to make any big moves in the recent period. Luoyang's mess is not something that can be done in a short period of time. And at this time, a force happened to be eyeing him.

This group of people is the original Yellow Turban remnant, the current White Wave Thief. The Yellow Turban Yu Dang Guo Tai and others revived the Baibo Valley of the West River, turned to Kou Taiyuan, and then broke the east of the river, and the people circulated three auxiliaries, called the 'White Wave Thief', with more than 100,000 people. At this time, Mrs. Guo was dead, and the four thieves in this white wave were mainly Li Le, Han Xian, Hu Cai and Yang Feng.

Dong Zhuo occupied Luoyang's strong soldiers, and this white wave thief did not dare to make a mistake. But at this time, Luoyang City was destroyed, and Cao Cao was stationed here, and Han Xian, the white wave thief, felt that the opportunity had come, so he summoned Li Le, Hu Cai and Yang Feng to discuss together, and decided to take advantage of Cao Cao's unstable foothold to lead the army to attack Luoyang.

Cao Cao asked Yang Xiu to summon his advisers to come to discuss the matter early, Yang Xiu is the grandson of Yang Biao, the chief lieutenant, and one of the Yang family's heavy bets on Cao Cao. Although Yang Xiu was not very old, he was very smart and clever and deeply loved by Cao Cao, who kept him by his side as a writer.

Yang Xiu left in response, and there was not much time, and strategists such as Cheng Yu, Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai arrived one after another. Cao Cao motioned for everyone to take a seat, and then said: "Now this Luoyang is in ruins, but the hateful white wave thief actually wants to take advantage of the fire to rob!" What are your plans for me? ”

"My lord, this is a happy event, why bother?" Cheng Yu said with a smile.

"Oh, why did Zhongde say that?" Cao Cao was puzzled.

"Lord, isn't what Luoyang lacks the most now? The white wave thieves are known as 100,000 people, if the lord puts away all the people, then the existing crisis in Luoyang will disappear! Cheng Yu said with a smile.

"Ahem!" At this time, a cough sounded, and Cao Cao saw that it was his strategist Xi Zhicai. Hurriedly said: "Zhicai is okay? ”

"Lord, it's okay! It's an old problem! What Brother Zhongde said just now is good, this white wave attack can just solve the problem of insufficient population for the lord. Therefore, the war should be dominated by captives. Ahem! As he spoke, Xi Zhicai coughed again.

When Cao Cao saw it, he immediately ordered the medical officer to come and treat him, and Xi Zhicai smiled bitterly: "The lord doesn't have to worry about me, I know my body." Taking advantage of this fashion, you can act more than the Lord and plan for the public. ”

Cao Cao was very moved when he heard this, and at this time, the medical officer trotted in, and Cao Cao hurriedly asked him to come forward to treat Xi Zhicai. The medical officer said to Cao Cao: "The main drama is caused by fatigue, and his subordinates prescribe a pair of medicines for him, which can alleviate his symptoms, but he still needs the cooperation of the adults to rest more." ”

Cao Cao immediately ordered that all government affairs should be handed over to others to do on his behalf, and only Xi Zhicai would be allowed to recuperate at home. Xi Zhicai had no choice but to agree, but he recommended his friend Guo Jia to Cao Cao.

"But Yingchuan Guo Fengxiao?" Xun Yu said on the side.

"Wen Ruo also knows Guo Jia?" Xi Zhicai said with a smile.

"Guo Jia and I are also classmates, and after he went out to travel, there was no contact! His talent is a hundred times better than mine, and the lord should go and invite him out of the mountain as soon as possible! ”

"If you don't worry, then Guo Jia is not here now. When the princes met, he added a small official under Yuan Shao's account! Zhiwu came to look for me under the account of the lord, and I recommended the lord for him at that time. It's just that he hadn't given up on Yuan Shao at that time, so he was very hesitant. A few days ago, I received a letter from him, he had left Yuan Shao at this time and was on his way to Luoyang. Xi Zhicai paused and said to Cao Cao, "Lord, don't let Guo Jia leave!" ”

"Okay, Zhicai, go and get some rest! When that Guo Jia arrives, I will visit in person! Cao Cao listened and said seriously. Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai nodded with satisfaction when they saw what Cao Cao said seriously. Next, everyone discussed the white wave thief, and at this time Cao Cao had already changed, not thinking about how to kill the white wave thief, but thinking about how to take them all under his command.

In this way, everyone said a word, and it took a morning to formulate a general plan. Now wait for the White Wave Thief to attack!

While Cao Cao was actively preparing for war, Liu Bei also returned to Nanpi City at this time. Tian Feng and Xin Ping led their subordinates to greet them, and Liu Bei asked Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to settle the army first, and he took the rest of the people to the Taishou Mansion.

After taking his seat, Tian Feng told Liu Bei about the situation in Nanpi, Pingyuan and Liaodong in these days. Overall everything was fine! Although Gongsun Du of Liaodong was unwilling, with the support of the Jin family and the Park family at this time, coupled with the large-scale merchants of the Xin family and the Mi family, the power of Liu Bei Group in Liaodong had been stabilized. It's Gongsun Du who is unwilling and helpless!

In addition to Gongsun Du, Wu Huan's threat is also not small, the last time Qiu Liju sent his son Bandun to lead the army to help Gongsun Du, but he was defeated and returned with 5,000 people and did not bring 2,000 people back. Qiu Liju was furious about this, and he vowed to make Liu Beijun pay the price. However, now if they want to attack Liu Beijun's three cities, they need to cross Gongsun Du's territory, which requires an opportunity.

Then there is Gongsun Zhan has rushed back to Youzhou, and the Wuhuan people were scared by Gongsun Zhan, and they didn't dare to make any changes when they heard that he came back, and Qiu Liju was also secretly accumulating strength and waiting for this opportunity to come.
