Chapter 170: Cao Cao's Goal

"Everything is done?" Cao Cao, who was looking at something, didn't raise his head.

"Lord Qiqi, the people have been killed!" The man in black standing in front of Cao Cao spoke.

"Well, that's good, no one found out, right?" Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction.

"No, the subordinates are already very careful, and there is no one around!" The man in black shook his head.

Cao Cao nodded: "Okay, you go down first, go and continue to keep an eye on the movements of all the ministers." ”

"Yes!" The man in black left.

"Next, we have to wait for the little emperor's reaction!" The corners of Cao Cao's mouth rose slightly, and his face was full of sinister expressions.

……

A few days later, Liu Wei couldn't wait for Liu Dai's arrival, and couldn't help but be a little annoyed: "What is the use of keeping such an imperial uncle?!" ”

"Your Majesty, maybe Liu Dai is entangled in some affairs, and there is no way to come over!" Cao Cao spoke at the right time and spoke for Liu Dai.

Cao Cao was "pitted" like this by Liu Dai, and he spoke for Liu Dai, how broad-minded Cao Cao was!

"Cao Aiqing, I know that you are thinking about the overall situation, but this Liu Dai is really too ......" Liu Wei said angrily, "In this way, I will wait for him for another day, if Liu Dai does not come after a day, don't blame me for being ruthless!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your magnanimity!" Cao Cao bowed to Liu Wei.

Liu Dai behaved like this, not only Liu Wei, but even all the ministers were on Cao Cao's side!

After another day, Liu Wei still didn't see Liu Dai, and he immediately became even more angry.

"Bastard! What a bastard! Liu Wei shouted angrily! Cao Aiqing, I will appoint you as the pastor of Yanzhou now, to replace this Liu Dai's position in Yanzhou, if this Liu Dai is not satisfied, I will directly send troops to fight him! ”

"This ......" Cao Cao showed a slight hesitation on his face, "This is not very good, Your Majesty, Liu Dai is the emperor's uncle after all, and Cao is a person with a foreign surname, if he attacks rashly, wouldn't he be suspected of committing the following crimes?" ”

"Humph! If I tell you to hit you, you'll fight! This is the Divine Decree! No matter what others say, I will ask you, whether you accept the order or not! Liu Wei was also very angry, and his tone couldn't help but be a little fast.

"Pick it up! Obey the order! Cao Cao hurriedly responded, and smiled slightly in his heart, Yanzhou, it's done!

After returning to his residence, Cao Cao hurriedly summoned all the soldiers to come to the meeting, and now, Cao Cao has a holy decree in his hand, and Liu Dai has been disposed of, it can be said that this Yanzhou is at his fingertips!

"Next, we will send troops to Changyi!" Cao Cao opened the remarks.

"My lord! Fight! Cao Cao had just said half of his words when Xiahoudun stood up.

"Don't worry, don't worry, you have a good idea of how to arrange this expedition, you don't have to fight to go to Changyi, so don't be impatient!" Cao Cao shook his head, this Xiahou Dun is an acute child, what can he do?

"Oh!" Xiahoudun nodded and retreated a little embarrassed.

"This time we go to Changyi, what we have to do is to take Changyi down, and the other is to take down the seal of Yanzhou Mu! We may not need it, but it's great for what comes next! Cao Cao began to speak, "After the state seal is in hand, what we have to do is to take over the remaining seven counties of Dongjun, Rencheng, Taishan, Jibei, Shanyang, Jiyin, and Dongping!" When the time comes, Yanzhou will be ours! ”

Cao Cao looked around at the generals present: "This expedition, the four of you will go together, Yuan Rang, Miaocai, Wen Qian, and Manchester City, of course, Cao will also go to Changyi together, and the remaining seven counties will be handed over to you!" “

"Yes!" The four generals who were pointed out responded one after another.

"Wentai, this time you are with the army! Zhongde, you and Ziyang stay in Chenliu, you must keep an eye on those ministers, and don't let them have any opportunities to take advantage of! Cao Cao continued to command.

"Yes!" The three of them also received orders at the same time.

After the order, Cao Cao let everyone disperse, leaving Chen Gong, Liu Ye and Cheng Yu behind.

"Three, after we get Yanzhou, what should we do next? Yuzhou Yuanshu, Xuzhou Mizhu, Qingzhou Xunyu, Jizhou Hanfu and Bingzhou and Sili are borderless lands. Cao Cao opened his mouth and roughly clicked the surroundings.

"Lord, whether it is Xuzhou, Qingzhou or Yuzhou, the tripartite forces are relatively strong, not what we can provoke now, as for Han Fu, Yuan Shaozheng is eyeing the territory of Jizhou, we should not compete with it now, and the state is relatively remote, plus adjacent to foreign races, the danger is more than the benefit, so it is not our best choice, overall, we should still accept the division first, after all, the division is also very rich, and when the time comes, the capital will be moved back to Luoyang, for us, it may not be a good thing!" Cheng Yu suggested.

"Well, Mr. Zhongde is the same as he thought! means, while taking Yanzhou, you send troops to take Si Li! Si Li doesn't have any soldiers and horses stationed now, and he can basically take it without a fight! Cao Cao said.

Liu Ye frowned: "Lord, isn't this too aggressive?" ”

"No, we lack everything now, instead of coming little by little, it's better to take a bigger step!" Chen Gong shook his head, "Gong thinks that the lord's arrangement is good, and he will take Si Li and Yanzhou at the same time, but Gong thinks that after we take Si Li, we don't need to tell anyone, that is to say, we will secretly take Si Li, and then develop secretly!" ”

"Hmmm! Does the public station mean that we will develop in secret, and wait until the right time to reveal this part of our strength? Cao Cao wondered.

"Yes, this can effectively confuse the rest of the princes!" Chen Gong nodded.

"Well, now we have a lot of opponents, Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, Xun Yu, Mi Zhu and Sun Ce of Jiangdong!" Cao Cao sighed and said.

"The lord doesn't have to worry about anything, according to his subordinates, our main opponent now is Yuan Shao!" Liu Ye said.

"What does Ziyang mean by this?" Cao Cao asked suspiciously.

"Yuan Shu is a person, he has no city government, he has no ability, the reason why he can have a state is completely because of his family background of the fourth and third dukes! If we have the strength to expand, we will be able to destroy Yuan Shu first! As for Xun Yu and Mi Zhu, although they don't seem to be weak, but the two of them are too benevolent and righteous, they are not heroes, so they don't need to take it to heart, as for Sun Ce, he is far away in Jiangdong, and if he wants to hit the Central Plains, he has to cross the Yangtze River moat! The Yangtze River is not easy to cross, so there is no need to worry about it for the time being! What the lord needs to pay attention to is Yuan Shao, who is just starting out now! If Yuan Shao pocketed Youzhou, Bingzhou and Jizhou in the north, then it would be our big enemy! “

Liu Ye's set of analysis is reasonable and well-founded, which makes people have to be convinced.

"What Zi Yang said is quite reasonable, but what we should be thinking about now is not this, let's start to do the current things well, as for Yuan Shao and others, don't think about it first! If you it before, you must remember! Do you understand? Cao Cao said.

"Understood!" The three nodded.
