When Cao Hong heard Wang Bi's low reprimand, his eyes widened, and he suddenly became angry, but after all, he was reckless and at fault, and it was not good to argue in front of others, so he had to retreat to the side angrily, so he had no face.

Fortunately, Cao Hong's embarrassing situation did not last long, and Cao Cao then rushed to the scene with the remaining nine hundred horsemen.

It's just that to Cao Hong's surprise, Cao Cao will not put on the general's shelf, after seeing the banner of the hussar general, he, the general, took the initiative to dismount in advance, and brought the Yanzhou civil and military who followed the dismount to meet the people and horses of Hedong.

Seeing that Cao Cao was courteous and respectful, the people and horses on the east side of the river also dismounted, and the two sides, led by Yan Xing and Cao Cao, walked in front of each other to salute each other.

Seeing this, Cao Hong also hurriedly led people to get closer to his camp.

This was the first time Yan Xing had looked at Cao Cao so closely, only to see that he was not tall, his face was slightly dark, and he looked lean and capable after putting on the armor, but when he stood in front of Yan Xing, who was eight feet tall and burly and powerful, he immediately looked a little dwarfed.

But Cao Cao's momentum is very sufficient, although he is not amazing, but his narrow eyes are deep and bright, and he is also agile and vigorous between his gestures, but he has added a little more style to himself in his manners, words and deeds.

Cao Cao had a thick smile on his face, as if he had seen an old friend, and said to Yan Xing with a smile:

"In the past, when I was alone in Yanzhou, I heard that Yanming was a handsome man and a majestic man, and when I saw it today, I was shocked to realize that Yanming was in his prime. In contrast, this makes Lonely sigh with a sentimental sigh! ”

"Cao Gong has a good reputation, Cao Gong guards Yan and Yu, defeats the group of thieves, and is famous, how dare he boast of being a handsome man in front of Cao Gong. The Son of Heaven is already waiting to be received in the imperial tent, so please do it! ”

Looking at Cao Cao's harmless smiles and thinking of Yanzhou's various methods, Yan Xing was a little less interested in greetings, but directly ordered the trumpet to be blown, and the people and horses in Hedong made way for a big road, so that the civil and military forces of Yanzhou could go to the imperial tent together to meet the Son of Heaven.

The people and horses of Hedong were waiting for a long time, they had already been prepared, the horn sounded, and they suddenly shouted loudly, and the queue opened their wings to the birds, and separated an avenue, and the elite cavalry soldiers on both sides were held by the armor, majestic and mighty, the strong war horse's mane was slightly raised, and the spears stood sharp and bright, and the whole army formation stood still, but there was a terrifying momentum to the outside.

The momentum of the Yanzhou people and horses in the away game was suddenly overwhelmed, and when they saw the Hedong soldiers and horses with strong armor at close range, the scribes and ministers Guo Jia, Dong Zhao, Ren Jun, Mao Jue, and Kong Rong who accompanied Cao Cao Cao showed a look of jealousy, and the military generals in the army, Cao Hong, Cao Chun, Shi Lian, Han Hao, and Liu Dai also held their breath and concentrated, holding the weapons in their hands tightly, and even the Yanzhou people and horses became nervous.

The soldiers and horses in the east of the river are really strong troops in the world, and they should not be taken lightly!

Cao Cao saw that Hedong intended to show off his strength, knowing what Yan Xing meant, he smiled, and didn't care, this place was not far from the imperial tent, and he was not in a hurry to ride a horse to meet the Son of Heaven, but invited Yan Xing to talk on foot, passing through the Hedong people and horses on both sides, followed by a group of subordinate Wenwu and Yanzhou soldiers, and went to the imperial tent together.

Yan Xing thought about it for a while, and readily agreed, ordering Xi Zhicai, Zhou Liang, Bao Chu, Dian Wei and other civil and military accompaniments, and went to the imperial tent with Cao Cao and others.

Walking on the road, looking at the Hedong people on both sides, Cao Cao talked and laughed as usual, looked at him left and right, and said to Yan Xing with a smile:

"Yan Ming's command has brought good soldiers, but I don't know that the 50,000 stone military rations ordered by Gu to stay in Xingyang City have already been received?"

Yan Xing also heard that Zhai Hao and Wei Xuan reported this matter yesterday, and he also had doubts in his heart, and when he heard Cao Cao ask, his eyes widened, and he asked Cao Cao with a little surprise:

"The grain is still sealed in the granary in the city, I don't know what Cao Gong means by this?"

"Haha, Lone sees that Yan Ming's elite soldiers are strong, and the strong men are raised, how can the soldiers have empty stomachs, this bit of food should be sent to Yan Ming for emergency needs!"

Cao Cao's gaze turned from the Hedong men and horses who were holding troops to the closer, and he was interested in the bearded Dian Wei and the powerful Bao Zhu, and happily answered Yan Xing's questions.

When he saw Yan Xing's face change slightly, Cao Cao was also a little proud in his heart, knowing that he had hit the soft underbelly of Hedong while talking and laughing, Hedong with the power of a county, but he had to help Hongnong and Henan, and also supply the grain and grass of the front army in Guanxi and Kanto.

Cao Cao was on a whim, but he didn't care about his majesty, stopped, stood on tiptoe, stretched his neck close to Yan Xing's ear, and asked softly:

"There are fierce troops on the east and west sides of Hedong, and there is the rebellion of Hongnong, and the difficulty of Henan, I am afraid that the situation is very difficult, I don't know how long the rear is short of food, but how long can it be supported?"

When Yan Xing saw Cao Cao's temptation, he also had the idea of fighting, stopped his pace, and said with a faint smile:

"Hedong grain and grass are one year old."

"Hugh has to say that he can't support it for three months."

Cao Cao's face suddenly changed color when he heard this, his neck stretched out, and he stared at Yan Xing's eyes to continue to probe.

Facing Cao Cao's sharp gaze, the corners of Yan Xing's mouth were slightly hooked, and he pretended to be serious and said:

"Don't hide it from Cao Gong, the army has run out of food!"

"Hahaha, Yanming is a sincere person!"

Yan Xing's words that were difficult to distinguish between true and false made Cao Cao laugh, and he didn't care about losing his temper in front of people, retracted his head, and began to talk as he walked again.

Yan Xing defused Cao Cao's temptation, but he was unwilling to let Cao Cao take advantage, he also asked with a smile:

"I don't know where Gong Cao welcomes the Son of Heaven, but he wants to set the capital?"

Cao Cao suddenly raised his eyebrows, his long narrow eyes revealed a hint of cunning, and he replied with a smile:

"The Son of Heaven is still in Xingyang, Yan Ming is in a hurry to ask about this, doesn't he also want to rush to the new capital to buy a farm house before the Son of Heaven sets the capital?"

The Son of Heaven moved eastward, once the new capital was determined, a large number of cars and horses poured in, not only the local grain price will rise, but also the price of the fields inside and outside the capital will also double, some well-informed generals in Cao Cao's army, such as Cao Hong, Liu Dai and others, have preemptively purchased several good fields and beautiful houses in the new capital area demarcated by Cao Cao, on the one hand, they are prepared for their families, and on the other hand, they are also ready to sit on the ground and raise the price, and resell the fields and houses to make a lot of money.

At this time, Cao Cao did not answer Yan Xing's inquiry directly, but laughed and made fun of Yan Xing, Yan Xing was not annoyed, and said indifferently:

"What does Cao Gong think?"

"If Yan Ming is just to buy the field house in the new capital first, then it is not necessary to think about it, after setting the new capital, Gu Ke has reserved a beautiful house with a large area for Yan Ming early in the morning, and it will be Yan Ming's hussar general's mansion in the future!"

Yan Xing looked at Cao Cao's smile, and also smiled, and responded-for-tat:

"Thank you Cao Gong for your kindness, wait for the line to calm Guanzhong, and also in Chang'an City, reserve a mansion for Cao Gong and his clansmen, and wait for Cao Gong and all the gentlemen of the Cao family to move in in the future."

"Okay, I'm looking forward to that day!"

Cao Cao stroked his beard and laughed again, and then said softly to Yan Xing:

"Actually, Lone has already set the new capital in Xu County, if the Son of Heaven does not object, it will be the Xu capital of the Han Dynasty."

"Xu Du!"

Yan Xing was a little surprised in his heart, the west had its own rise, Cao Cao dared to be so confident, still the same as in history, the capital was set in Xu County, Xu County is not only close to Nanyang County of Liu Biao's forces, but also close to Henan, if the troops are sent from Dagu and Yuyuan Pass, with the speed of light cavalry in the army, theoretically two days can reach Xudu.

The only advantage is that this new capital is really far enough away from Yuan Shao, who is located in Hebei.

Cao Cao smiled, he must be in Xu County, he knows the real reason, but he will not explain it to Yan Xing.

Yanzhou was surrounded by Yuan Shao's Jizhou and Qingzhou, and Cao Cao could only set the new capital in Yuzhou.

Yuzhou has Yingchuan, Runan, Chen, Lu, Liang, Peiguo two counties and four countries, but Yuzhou is in the heart of the Central Plains, surrounded by enemies, and there are not many new capital addresses for Cao Cao to choose.

Runan is facing the infiltration of Liu Biao and Yuan Shu's forces, Peiguo is still stationed in Xuzhou, and even Lu and Liang are also threatened by the Xuzhou people of Peiguo, and only Yingchuan and Chen Guo can choose.

Yingchuan County is close to Liu Biao's Nanyang County, and it is also close to Yan Xing's Henan land, on the surface, Cao Cao and Liu Biao have not had any conflict, and now they are also negotiating peace with Yan Xing of Sanhe, but these are all signs of peace, sooner or later Cao Cao will have a bad relationship with his strong neighbors Liu Biao and Yan Xing, it is only a matter of time.

Theoretically, the Chen Kingdom, which does not border any forces, is more suitable as the location of the new capital than Yingchuan County, but after all, the Chen State is the fief of King Chen, and it is against the etiquette system to set the capital here, and Chen Wang Liu Pet and Chen Xiang Luo Jun are also quite powerful and prestigious figures in Yuzhou, so that the young son of heaven, the hundred officials of the imperial court and the strong Chen Wang Liu Pet are together, I am afraid that it will cause greater internal troubles in the future.

Due to various considerations, Cao Cao could only choose Xu County, the new capital in Yingchuan.

Of course, Xu County also has its unique advantages, it is in the middle of the world, it is an ancient city with a long history, second only to Luoyang in geographical location, the Quartet Thoroughfare, the land is fertile, the rivers are abundant, and the power of Liu Biao and Yan Xing is also the farthest away from the Yingchuan territory.

Seeing that Yan Xing was a little surprised, Cao Cao smiled and asked out loud:

"Why, Yanming thinks that Xindu is too close to Henan, which is unreasonable, right?"

Yan Xing didn't hide his thoughts, he nodded, and he acquiesced to this meaning.

Seeing this, Cao Cao also looked up at the sky, and said with a stern attitude:

"The Son of Heaven is the Lord of all peoples, and he should share it with the people of the world and welcome the Son of Heaven, in order to better magnify the holy virtues and educate the people of the Quartet, do you still want to follow the example of Dong Zhuo and Li Dao, and think of migrating the Son of Heaven to a dangerous place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

"Besides, Gu Zheng is going to work with Yanming to support the Han family, and the new capital is close to Henan, so what's the matter?"

Cao Cao's words were so righteous and awe-inspiring that Yan Xing couldn't distinguish the authenticity for a while, but just looked at Cao Mengde, who was looking up to the sky and full of ambition, Yan Xing inexplicably gave birth to a grotesque problem in his heart.

Cao Cao at this time, is he loyal or traitorous, if he is both loyal and traitorous, how many are loyal and how many are traitors?
