Lu Bu ordered his subordinates to tie him up and go to see Cao Cao. He took the initiative to surrender, which Cao Cao did not expect.

"Today's return of the tiger is gratifying."

Lu Budao: "If it weren't for Chen Deng's betrayal of me, there would be no today." ”

Cao Cao laughed and said, "I treat you well, but you occupy my city and bully my wife and children." How can such a disloyal and unfilial person be loyal to Yuanlong? ”

Lu Budao: "It was Chen Gong who misunderstood me. ”

Chen Gong scolded, "Lu Bu Xiao'er! Death is death, why do you do this? ”

Cao Cao asked, "Gongtai, how is today's matter?" ”

Chen Gong said: "Lu Bu didn't listen to my good advice, but believed the woman's words. Today I only want to die, and Ming Gong does not need to say more. ”

Cao Cao didn't want to kill Chen Gong. First of all, Chen Gong was kind to him at the beginning. Secondly, although this person is not a top-level strategist, he can also govern one side. Finally, accepting Chen Gong again can show his magnanimity to the people of the world.

"Gongtai is bent on death, with all righteousness. But how should your mother, wife and daughter deal with themselves? ”

Chen Gong said with a smile: "Ming Gong and I have met once, and they will definitely take care of me, so I will entrust them to Ming Gong." ”

"Good!" Cao Cao agreed, and sent someone to drag Chen Gong down and behead him for public display.

Lu Budao: "Prime Minister Cao." I have only one request! I have a grudge with Guo Yi, and I hate to drink his blood and eat his flesh. I am willing to crusade against Guo Yi for the prime minister, and I will not die or return! ”

Cao Cao hesitated. So far, Lu Bu is the only one who has defeated Guo Yi. Being able to get this person is naturally a great benefit. But Lu Bu's original rebellion usurped his wife and children. This is intolerable.

"My lord." Guo Jia whispered a few words in Cao Cao's ear.

Cao Cao nodded again and again when he heard this, and said, "Lu Bu! I'll give you a chance. You can lead a hundred men to Hanoi to fight Guo Yi! ”

Lu Bu was overjoyed, and hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him, "Thank you, Prime Minister!" ”

On the other hand, Zhang Liao, who was under Pi, surrendered to Cao Cao. Before they could meet, they first made a suggestion: send him to persuade Guan Yu to surrender.

Guan Yu has been besieged, and although there are few soldiers and horses, he is still tenacious. Cao Cao didn't want to kill Guan Yu, so he sent a few people to persuade him to surrender, but they all returned in vain. Sending Zhang Liao is just a mentality of giving it a try.

But Zhang Liao persuaded Guan Yu and put forward three conditions. First, the Han is not the Cao. Second, support Liu Bei's family. Third, once Liu Bei's whereabouts were obtained, Cao Cao needed to let him go.

Cao Cao immediately agreed. and immediately transferred Guan Yu to Chen Liu and placed him under his supervision.

took Xuzhou, Cao Cao, like Yuan Shao, crossed the land of three states, and had the confidence to fight against the court. But Cao Cao took the lead in targeting Guo Yi.

With the emperor's edict, he denounced Guo Yi for violating the courtesy of his ministers, and asked him to send a son to Xuchang, otherwise his title would be reduced.

Later, he sent people to discuss with Yang Bo and Yuan Shao to jointly crusade against Guo Yi.

This time, they agreed.

Yuan Shao wanted to recapture Zhongshan and Changshan. Yang Bo also wanted to recapture Hedong County. What's more, at this time, the three of them have no other external troubles, and the internal is quite stable.

In the current situation, once they attack each other, Guo Yi will definitely send troops to pick up the bargain. But without attacking each other, they have no other land to expand. It's better to unite first, solve Guo Yi, and after each of them is at ease, then come to the Central Plains and compete for it!

Guo Yi received the edict and wrote a reply letter to refuse. At the same time, the order was sent to all parts of the country to prepare for the attack.

Cai Yan gave birth to his son-in-law, Guo Ming. Unlike his children, Guo Ming was not knighted and did not hold any other official position.

Everyone knows that if you don't become a knight, you will inherit the title, and if you don't serve as an official, you want to be a monarch. In this way, the position of the prince has been decided, and everyone is also dependent.

Cai Yan saw that he was in a bad mood and said strangely: "What? Too much of an annoyance about things out there? ”

"These don't have long eyes." Guo Yi scolded, he still wanted to wait for Guo Ming to be 100 days old, and then come to clean up this garbage after Zhou Zhou. Unexpectedly, they actually joined forces.

Cai Yan hugged the child, with a happy smile on his face, and said softly: "I believe in you, you will definitely be invincible!" ”

"Hmm." Guo Yi kissed her forehead and kissed Guo Ming's cheek again. "Just wait here."

Back in the government hall, Fan Xin reported the internal affairs situation to him. Long Yi reported on the armament situation in various places.

The situation in the annexed states is very good. The economy is prosperous, and the people are well fed and clothed. Technology was several eras ahead of the curve, and although there were no firearms, it was able to mass-produce everyday needs and create alloy equipment. In particular, the successful production of tempered glass allows Guo Yijun to be equipped with bulletproof glass. The strength is not too high, but it is more than enough to resist the bow and arrow.

It turns out that production is never a problem as long as there is technical guidance.

At present, there are 50,000 conscripts in the whole territory. They are all soldiers who have been in the army for more than a year and are familiar with various combat techniques. However, they are not the main combat force, and their main task is to defend the border and play the role of the first layer of defense.

The main force was the field troops, with a total of eight thousand people. They are all carefully selected and trained according to the requirements of the special forces. All of them are equipped with the best equipment in the whole army, which is the confidence of Guo Yi's peace of mind development and being able to set the Central Plains at any time.

The dragoon battalion has been upgraded to a garrison force, under the direct command of Guo Yi.

"How long is it expected to take to settle Hebei?"

Long Yiyi: "It only takes a month." ”

"What about Yanzhou and other places?"

"Three months."

"Yongzhou?"

"Half a month."

Guo Yi said: "It's too long. ”

Long Yiyi: "If there is a battle, then the battle can be decided!" ”

"What should Liu Zhang, Liu Biao, and Sun Ce do?"

Long Yiyi: "If the Central Plains are pacified, the troops will be divided into three routes, and the three places of CD, Xiangyang, and Jiankang will be taken." It can be pacified in March and May. ”

"It's easy to pacify, but it's hard to govern." Guo Yi rubbed his hands, his military strength was indeed a lot higher, which was determined by his technical superiority. He is now fighting those princes, just like Britain is fighting the Manchus, it is simply at the level of fighting barbarians.

Jia Xu said: "Lord, you can't have any more worries at this time. We need to break with the Han dynasty and establish a new dynasty. ”

Fan Xin said confidently: "My lord, our army has cultivated a large number of administrative talents. Enough to rule the world. No more worries, as long as we take down the place, we can manage it! ”

"Okay." Guo Yilang said: "Li Zhang, Zhang He, attack Hebei." Long San and Gao Shun attacked Yongzhou. Zhao Yun, Gao Lan, Long Er, and Pang De attacked Cao Cao. Long Yi, you are the commander-in-chief. ”

"No!"

Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Yang Bo met in Luoyang, and Yuan Shao was still the leader of the alliance. In the name of the Son of Heaven, he issued a document to crusade against Guo Yi.

In response to them, it was an article "Emperor of the Han Dynasty". Guo Yi made it clear that he would give up all the official positions and titles conferred by the Han Emperor and start anew. And denounced the ten deadly sins committed by the Han family!

First, the mutilation of scholars and the extinction of culture. Second, favor the eunuchs and set a precedent for eunuchs to command the army. Third, the second emperor of Huan Ling was absurd and unreasonable. Fourth, the princes quarreled and the Han Emperor could not stop. Fifth, the excesses and miscellaneous taxes have made the people miserable. Sixth, locust plague and plague, the court did not help the people. Seventh, the Han Emperor was controlled by powerful ministers and was not enough to be a king. Eighth, the Han family was unpopular with the people, and the mandate of heaven was shifted. Ninth, the probation system buries talents, causing the scholars to control their careers. Tenth, the Han Emperor was guilty of cutting down the Tao without a way.

listed these ten crimes, Guo Yi sacrificed to Nuwa and led the army to the battle.
