I didn't expect the enemy's assassination to come so quickly, and I didn't expect that some people would openly assassinate the emperor.

In fact, the current emperor is already a puppet, which many people understand, so his majesty and power are no longer as great as the real emperor, and assassinating the emperor is equivalent to assassinating a prince.

As long as you give money, you invite a master.

There will also be Assassins who take people's money and money to help people eliminate disasters.

An assassination operation that can be said to have been planned for a long time failed like this, and few people were Wang Yue's opponents.

It can only be said that Emperor Liu Xie's life is very hard, and the assassin chose the wrong time, even if he can enter this palace, he can still enter this emperor's room and assassinate him.

didn't know that at that time, the emperor saw Dong Cheng and complained daily.

None of the right people at the right time were occupied, and this was destined to be a relatively failed assassination.

The assassin finally died on the torture rack, no longer human, and there were some punishments that would never be recorded in history, because such punishments could not appear in the history books, and not many people ever knew about them.

Cao Cao didn't expect to get any information from the Assassins, because even if he knew, he couldn't do anything.

Yanzhou has always been cautious since he rescued the Holy Driver and controlled the emperor in Xu County.

The external defense is tight, and the internal policy of tuntian is being vigorously implemented in order to achieve the method of preserving grain.

This is not only to deal with natural disasters, but also to protect your own army.

A Baiyunbian liquor made Cao Cao make a lot of money, which can no longer be calculated by quantity.

Because in this era of scarcity of fine wine, a distilled spirit, which does not look like a cloudy wine, but tastes better than a cloudy wine.

People have called it liquor, which used to be a glass of turbid wine, but now, it may be a glass of liquor.

For those who like wine, especially liquor, even if it is in exchange for his life, he will not hesitate to do so.

And Cao Cao made his fortune precisely because of this Baiyunbian, and no one can know the method of brewing this Baiyunbian.

Because the people who brewed the method of Baiyunbian were all loyal people cultivated by the masters who built the liquor workshop, and it was even more difficult to get the method of brewing Baiyunbian from their mouths.

Moreover, the method of brewing Baiyunbian is also in the hands of a few people, even if they know the tools for brewing spirits, that is, distilling liquor, they don't know the process, let alone the principle.

It is precisely because of this that this Baiyunbian is now only in the land of Yanzhou, and there will be Baiyunbian that cannot be sold from the land of Yanzhou every month, which is hundreds of jars, and the price will rise every year.

Inferior liquor purchased from other places at a low price, after distillation by a special method, is a high concentration of Baiyunbian.

Such a method of making money is simply a cornucopia.

No one knows, and no one will find out, that the wine they drink is actually bad wine, but it has been processed.

A white cloud side solved Cao Cao's deficit crisis, and even more so that his current strength has risen to a higher level, and it has been faintly compared with Jizhou in the north.

But Cao Cao didn't dare to really start a real war with Yuan Shao in Jizhou, and even the position of general was given to Yuan Shao.

This is because the land of Yanzhou is in the middle, it is a place of four wars, there are the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou and other places in the east, there is a Lu Bu of Xuzhou in the south, and there is an old department of Dong Zhuo in the west.

If Yanzhou starts a war with Yuan Shao in Jizhou, the people in these three places are likely to take the opportunity to sneak attack, and the rear will be unstable.

And now, the emperor has been assassinated, which is a signal.

Cao Cao set his sights directly on those people in Dong Zhuo's old department in the west, because these people in the west are already fighting for life and death, just like a group of local chickens and dogs, they are the easiest to conquer.

On the third day of Emperor Liu Xie's assassination, Cao Cao convened a meeting, which was not held inside the palace, but outside the palace.

Nowadays, outside the palace in Xuchang, many courtyards have been built, and they have some scale.

Moreover, Cao Cao's people have already lived in it, and the rest is to sell to those scholars and nobles, and the last rest will either be sold or rented out.

"Zhicai, what's going on in the Kannai?"

The generals and strategists sat on their sides, and Cao Cao showed that the emperor had been assassinated and his own thoughts, and then asked Xi Zhicai to introduce the situation of Li Dao (jue) in the guan.

"Ahem, the battle in the gate has been continuous, Dong Zhuo's old department was the strongest between Guo and Li, but for some reason, the two of them killed each other, and in the end Li Dao survived.

But because of this, the strength has been greatly reduced, when we rescued Your Majesty, we fought with them once, and Your Majesty was rescued by us, and there are no worries, and now .......

I feel that soldiers are not soldiers, generals are not generals, and now we can fight with them and quell the rebellion in the West, at the right time. ”

Xi Zhicai's complexion was not very good, and when he spoke, he was still panting, and the whole person was even weaker than before.

If it weren't for the fact that this was the first war in which the Son of Heaven was blackmailed, and it was also a very important war, he would not have come.

Cao Cao is very precious to him, and all the precious medicinal materials have been given to Xi Zhicai, but unfortunately, God is jealous of talents, and sometimes, no matter how good the medicinal materials are, they can't cure some diseases.

"Zhicai, is it okay?"

After Cao Cao listened, he saw that Xi Zhicai was already sweating a little, and immediately asked with concern.

Xi Zhicai replied: "It's okay. ”

After that, Cao Cao expressed his meaning, that is, the Western Expedition.

There was no opposition to this, but they all expressed their views very actively.

Cao Ang, who was on the side, was the first to stand up, directly asked for battle, and wanted to be a vanguard general.

But Cao Cao knew the importance of this vanguard general, Cao Ang's current age and strength were not good, but it did not prevent his son from getting involved, he had grown up.

Cao Ang became a partial general, following the main general Cao Ren, in addition to Zhang Liao and Gao Shun and others.

As for Chu Feng, he became Sima Cheng on the march, and with Cao Ang, he was regarded as a man of literature and a martial arts.

After agreeing on the general plan, it is the time and route of the troops, which are naturally determined by the strategists and generals.

Chu Feng has been a strategist for so many years, and he has also learned a lot, and he also knows a lot about the methods of marching and fighting in this era.

followed Xun Yu and put forward a lot of opinions.

At this point, the matter of the Western Expedition was also decided.

This is Cao Cao's first battle after welcoming the Son of Heaven, and it will also be a big step for him to pacify the north and even the whole world.
