Chapter 141: Triumphant
???? More than 20,000 prisoners and countless booty were taken to Yanzhou by Cao's troops.
Although Guannai declined for a long time because of Dong Zhuo's rebellion, there were Guo Li rebellions, as well as Xiongnu rebellions and so on.
However, as the imperial capital of the Han Dynasty and the heyday of the Central Plains that has been inherited for hundreds of years, its materials are still very rich, such as armor, salt and iron, ore and so on.
These are all things that Cao Cao needs, although the land of Yanzhou has also been vigorously developed, but compared with Jizhou and several other places, it is still far behind.
War is actually a kind of plunder, plundering other people's land, people's hearts, resources, human lives, and everything else that can be plundered.
Although the battle to the west was successful, and Guannai became Cao Cao's territory, he did not dare to move his base camp back.
The first is because Chang'an and Luoyang in the Guannai have been imperial capitals since ancient times, and under the rule of the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years, this idea is even more deep-rooted.
Second, what he wants to do now is to blackmail the emperor, but if he wants to move the imperial capital back, then he will not move the capital in the first place.
In Xuchang, the emperor and others were still under his control, but when he arrived in Chang'an, he didn't dare to guarantee that his subordinates would not have different thoughts.
The most critical point is that the land of Guannei is not stable, the west is the land of Xiliang, and now in the hands of Ma Teng and Han Sui, and the north is the Xiongnu and other barbarians, and the slightest carelessness may lead to their embattlement.
Therefore, Cao Cao still gave up the pass, just wiped out Li Dao and other forces, and then sent those generals and others who were originally in the pass, but have now been obedient.
???? A few days later, Cao Ren and Cao's army began to slowly evacuate, and Yanzhou was their place of protection.
As for this pass, it is just to pacify some ambitious and powerful people, so that they cannot interfere in Yanzhou.
The army is open, and the dust is all over the sky!
???? Yuan Shao looked at the battle report submitted by his subordinates for a while, and there was some indignation in his heart, Cao Apu, who followed him at the beginning, now has such strength, this time the western expedition, I am afraid that he has gained a lot, right?
?“ Lord, Cao Cao has captured so much loot in this battle, if he gives it to others like this, it will really fuel Cao Cao's arrogance, and when he calms down the chaos around him, he will raise the knife in his hand and point it at us! "Feng Ji was the first to stand up and take responsibility for Cao Cao's behavior.?
"Oh? Brother Yuan Tu thinks that now we can fight Cao Cao? Tian Feng asked rhetorically.
"Brother Yuan Hao, don't you raise the morale of others to destroy your own prestige!" Feng Ji stepped forward and shouted loudly.?
"Lord Qiqi, now Cao Cao has ordered the princes to serve the Son of Heaven, plus defeated Lu Bu and Tao Qian, and now he is fighting in the Guannei, and his strength is strong, so he must not act rashly.
We can only completely solve the Gongsun clan, and then befriend the Xiongnu and Karasuma, use their power to strengthen ourselves, and then unite Xuzhou Lu Bu, Xiliang Ma Teng and others to form an alliance, annihilate Cao Cao in one fell swoop, and welcome back the Son of Heaven. A deep but melodious male voice sounded.
With a familiar and special voice, everyone barely needed to look back to guess who it was, he was one of Yuan Shao's advisors, named Fu Zhu.
Frustrated to give a few great wisdom, once Jizhou don't drive, as a few county orders, and later became Han Fu don't drive, Yuan Shao occupied Jizhou, appointed frustrated to engage, often put forward good ideas to Yuan Shao.
It's just a pity that most of the time, Yuan Shao didn't listen to Frustrated's good advice, and was finally defeated by Cao Cao, and Frustrated was loyal and did not surrender to Cao Cao, and was finally killed by Cao Cao.
"Gongsun has not been destroyed, the north is undecided, it is indeed not suitable to send troops, but since this is the case, then you will come up with a charter, now Cao Cao has begun to calm the surroundings and strengthen himself, we are still sitting here and watching, wait until Cao Cao grows stronger, attack us?" Yuan Shao thought for a while and said.?
Now it is indeed not suitable to start a war with Cao Cao, because Yuan Shao is not ready for that, when he united Cao Cao to resist the alliance of Yuan Shu and others, he did make Gongsun suffer a big loss, but it was not enough to eradicate the grass.
Now that Cao Cao has begun to fight around and strengthen his strength, if he doesn't act, he will really have to wait until Cao Cao comes to attack him.
"Lord, please rest assured, we have thought of a complete strategy, and we will be able to help the lord unify the north when the time comes!" Guo Tu stood up at the right time and said loudly.
At the same time, he also looked at Tian Feng and Fu Zhi, and there was an indescribable meaning in his eyes.
????“ Oh? In that case, then you can talk about it! Yuan Shao was very happy, and he was still very satisfied with Guo Tu, a strategist who could always obey his wishes.
Cao Cao didn't know Yuan Shao's plan, and even if he knew, he wouldn't have anything, because he knew very well that he would have a fight with Yuan Shao sooner or later.
???? Because the prisoners and booty escorted were too huge, it took Cao Jun more than ten days to reach Yanzhou through the mountains and mountains.
Behind the Cao army's large army was the logistics force led by Cao Ang and others.
The people and officials of Yanzhou City, who received the news early, all traveled to welcome the triumphant return of the army.
The sound of cheers and worship is naturally indispensable! The hundred officials led by Cao Cao are also impressively listed.
Now Xuchang is already an emperor's back garden, with the strict control of the people sent by Cao Cao, it is impossible for assassins to happen again, and of course, the emperor does not want to escape.
And the real regime was still chosen by Cao Cao to stay in Yanzhou City, and all orders were issued from here.
By Cao Cao's side, there seemed to be three people standing, one of them had longer hands than normal people, and they all looked like Buddhas, the other had a long beard and looked mighty, and there was another person, who was fierce Zhang Fei, and these three people were Liu Guanzhang who took refuge in Cao Cao.
At the beginning, because he was afraid of Lu Bu's bravery, he had to comfort Lu Bu and let him temporarily settle in Xuzhou.
But what he didn't expect was that Lu Bu's wolf ambition took advantage of the war between Liu Bei and Yuan Shu to seize Xuzhou and drive Liu Bei and others out.
As a result, Liu Bei had no choice but to abandon Xuzhou and defect to Cao Cao.
When Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou, he went to the rescue, but now he can't beat Lu Bu and was driven out of Xuzhou, but he came directly to Cao Cao.
I have to say that Liu Bei is still a very kind person, even if he defects to his former enemy, he will not feel anything wrong.
That's why Cao Cao felt that Liu Bei was also a character, because he was thick-skinned, ambitious, and more capable.
Cao Ren led the army to the outside of Yanzhou City, and immediately settled those soldiers, and then entered Yanzhou City with his lieutenant generals.
Outside Yanzhou City, after a drama of monarchs and ministers was staged, everyone arrived in the state capital satisfied.
This is Cao Cao's establishment of majesty, the prestige of Yanzhou, and at the same time to show his ability.
