The southernmost point of Chenliu County in Yanzhou, the place where it is handed over with Chen State in Yuzhou, outside Yu County, Cao Cao's camp stretches for more than ten miles.

In these more than ten days, Cao Cao's soldiers and horses have fought with Yuan Shu three times, although Cao Cao's soldiers and horses are few, the elite is better than Yuan Shu's army, and his generals are Yu Ban, Lejin, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Yuan is even better than Yuan Shu's generals, each leading an army, galloping vertically and horizontally, causing Yuan Shu's army to suffer great losses.

Fortunately, Cao Cao did not take the initiative to enter the army, but Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses breathed a sigh of relief and barely held the border line of Chen State.

At noon, in Cao Cao's camp, Cao Cao looked down at the edict in his hand, in addition to Cao Cao, there were eight people in the tent, seven of whom were Cao Cao's cronies, Cheng Yu, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Dun, Cao Zhen, Cao Ang, and one person, but Dong Cheng's cronies Yue Cavalry Captain Wang Fu.

The big tent was extremely quiet, and these cronies all looked at Cao Cao with some expectation.

After a while, Cao Cao read the edict, looked up at Wang Fu, and showed suspicion on his face: "Captain Wang, this edict is really written by the Son of Heaven?" ”

Wang Fu said in a deep voice: "It's absolutely right, the situation is urgent, and I hope that General Cao will return to Beijing as soon as possible, otherwise Your Majesty will be in danger and the court will be in danger." ”

Cao Cao pointed to the direction of Chen Guo in the south, his thick eyebrows were furrowed, and his voice was full of hesitation: "The edict of the Son of Heaven must be served, but now that Yuan Shu is being attacked, if he retreats, he will fall short." ”

Wang Fu's voice said eagerly: "General Cao, how can Yuan Shu be as important as Your Majesty?" When General Cao returns to Beijing this time, he will share the government with General Dong, and it will not be too late to attack Yuan Shu again. ”

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and was silent, and then Cheng Yu on the side said: "The general is Hanchen, the edict of the Son of Heaven must not be violated, and the matter of Yuan Shu can be broken first, and then leave some soldiers and horses as suspicious soldiers, and the general personally led the elite into Beijing to serve the edict, both of which are correct." ”

"Exactly!" Wang Fu said busily.

Cao Cao sighed: "Okay, that's the only way, Captain Wang will go down to rest first, and I will return after I have straightened out the soldiers and horses." ”

Cao Ang saw his father's expression, and immediately led the king's clothes out of the big tent.

As soon as Wang Fu left, Cao Cao's cronies in the big tent immediately cheered up.

"Lord, this is a God-given opportunity, Zhang Liao is outside, Dong Chengyong is talented, An Neng controls the government, and he is about to do great things!"

"Lord, please give an order, I will return to Beijing immediately!"

"Lord!"

Cao Cao saw the excited expressions of his cronies, and sighed loudly: "Zhang Wenyuan has the talent of Wang Zuo, and he treats me well, and I am patient and scheming!" ”

"Lord!" Cao Ren said loudly: "This edict of the Son of Heaven is not the fault of the lord, don't hesitate!" ”

"Exactly!" Xiahou clasped his fists and said: "Zhang Liao is incompetent, he can't control the imperial court, and he is about to show his talents!" ”

Cheng Yu also came out, and his voice was sonorous and powerful: "Lord, Zhang Liao broke with the Son of Heaven, and it was inevitable!" When the lord first entered the court, didn't he just wait for this day? ”

Cao Cao nodded, looked at Cao Ren and other generals, and said in a deep voice: "Quickly reorganize the army, first defeat Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses with thunder, and then return to Beijing overnight!" ”

"Order!"

Cao Ren and others are excited!

Several generals went out, and only Cao Cao and Cheng Yu remained in the big tent.

Cao Cao looked at Cheng Yu, and his eyes suddenly became bright: "Zhongde, I don't know what the situation in Beijing is?" ”

Cheng Yu stroked his beard and said: "Don't worry, the lord is in front, and the lord just needs to take advantage of the trend." ”

Cao Cao's expression was a little uncertain: "Zhang Wenyuan has a lot of soldiers and horses, Guanzhong, Bingzhou, Hedong, and Hanoi, if they all rise, we will get Luoyang, but it will be difficult to defend." ”

He is proficient in the art of war, far from being comparable to Dong Chengneng, and sees the situation more clearly, Liu Xie also has the capital of Luoyang, and basically ceded Guanzhong to Zhang Liao, plus Hedong, strategically speaking, Zhang Liao's arrangement of troops and horses poses a great threat to Luoyang, which is what Cao Cao is most worried about.

Cheng Yu said with a smile: "Although Zhang Liao has many soldiers and horses, there are also many enemies, and there are few available soldiers. ”

Cao Cao frowned: "He is good at using soldiers, and his power and scheming are not idle, and he must be on guard against Luoyang." ”

Cheng Yu narrowed his eyes: "Zhang Liao carried out the imperial examination, Guanzhong, Hedong and Bingzhou, but the Kwantung family regarded it as an enemy, and there were already plans, and Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were one south and one north, Zhang Liao was difficult to take care of, it would be good to escape the big disaster this time, if he could take care of Luoyang, it was he who attacked Luoyang, and we waited for the Son of Heaven to retreat to Guandong, and there were all families to protect each other, so we could be safe." ”

Cao Cao nodded, was silent for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Zhang Wenyuan treats the Son of Heaven well, but he is a rupture, I serve the Son of Heaven, but I don't know what the result is, what are the pros and cons?" ”

Cheng Yu said sonorously: "Don't doubt it! Zhang Liao is powerful, and his worship of the Son of Heaven is like the icing on the cake, dispensable, the lord is weak, and the Son of Heaven is like sending charcoal in the snow, and he wants to calm the world, which has to be done. ”

Cao Cao wandered and said: "However, the Son of Heaven is smart, and his ambition is not small, and it is not easy to serve it." ”

Cheng Yu said disapprovingly: "The Son of Heaven is admittedly smart, but his temperament is cowardly, and the lord is strong. ”

A hint of fierceness flashed in Cao Cao's eyes, and he sighed again: "In this way, my name is bad." ”

Cheng Yu said expressionlessly: "The lord is coercing the Son of Heaven, and he is powerful all over the world, why do you want fame." ”

"Yes, why fame!" Cao Cao couldn't help laughing, and then asked: "Dong Cheng has already raised the matter, but Wen Shu can retreat quickly to avoid being harmed." ”

Cheng Yu's coffin board showed a grateful look on his face: "The lord is worried, I want to inform Xiao'er that this incident is over, there is no more Li Yan, only Cheng Yan, let him return to his hometown." ”

If Dong Cheng is here, I am afraid that he will be shocked, his most relied on strategist turned out to be Cheng Yu's son, Cheng Yu's original name was Cheng Li, and his son Cheng Yan took his father's name and surname, and secretly invested under Dong Cheng's command, adding fuel to the fire, letting Dong Cheng plot against Zhang Liao and fight for Cao Cao's opportunity.

This is Cheng Yu's plan, he used his son to give Dong Cheng a plan to deal with Zhang Liao, and Cao Cao naturally didn't know Cheng Yu's plan, but he and Cheng Yu didn't move at all, and hid it very deeply, so that Zhang Liao didn't notice it.

In the afternoon, Cao Cao suddenly sent troops to storm Yuan Shu's camp, and Yuan Shu sent Li Feng and Liang Gang, two generals who stayed in Chen, were defeated and could only hold on.

After dusk, Cao Cao left hundreds of soldiers and horses to beat drums in the camp to confuse the enemy, and he led the main force straight to Luoyang, and his fierce generals Ban, Le Jin, Li Dian and Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Dun and other clan fierce generals all followed.

……

In Luoyang, in a mansion at the Upper East Gate, Yulin Zhonglang held Zhang Yang in his hand, couldn't stop trembling, looked at Li Yan opposite, and turned pale: "Your Excellency, this is the edict of Your Majesty?" Your Majesty is trying to harm Wen Yuan? Wen Yuan is loyal to His Majesty and the imperial court......"

"Zhang Zhonglang's words are wrong!" Li Yan interrupted him and said solemnly: "Your Majesty does not mean anything to the general, but the Yulin Army is a forbidden army, which should be in charge of Your Majesty, and the soldiers and horses are only two thousand, how to compare with the general's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, the general is still a general, he is in charge of the state, Guanzhong, Hedong, and Hanoi. ”

Zhang Yang looked suspicious: "Is that really the case?" ”

Liyan Zhengse said: "The edict of the Son of Heaven, how can it be false, the general is out on the march, the court is also to prevent small trouble, Zhang Zhonglang handed over the Yulin army, His Majesty can be at ease, and when the general returns to the dynasty after victory, the Yulin army will be returned to the general." ”

Zhang Yang hesitated, and finally handed over the Yulin officer seal and talisman to Liyan.

Li Yan took the official seal and the talisman, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, and a flash of disdain flashed, and he said secretly: "General, you appointed your cronies to hand over the Yulin Army to Zhang Yang to be controlled by such a cowardly and incompetent person, and you really dig your own grave." ”
