The whole court meeting was simply the best performance of Cao Cao and Liu Xie's acquaintance. Liu Xie www.biquge.info who made Cao Cao an official and a marquis, and handed over the heavy responsibility of rewarding merit and punishing crimes to Cao Cao. I don't know if Liu Xie at this time really thinks that Cao Cao is a loyal minister who can be entrusted with big things, or if he just wants to appease Cao Cao's heart. After all, after the rebellion of Li and Guo, the emperor could be said to have never eaten a full meal and slept well. In Liu Xie's own words in the court: "What the thief Li gave me was carrion Chen Gu, and what made me sleep was a straw mat and a mattress." Now that he has been taken to such a prosperous Yingyin City by Cao Cao, it seems that it is not surprising that he is ecstatic.

Cao Cao became the commander and mastered the power of reward and punishment, so he naturally wanted to reward his subordinates. Xun Yu is the servant of Shang Shuling, Xun Yu is the military advisor, Guo Jia is the Sima sacrificial wine, and Liu Ye is the Sikong Cang Cao Peng. Mao Jue, Zao You, and Ren Jun were the generals of the pawn farmers, urging the money and grain. Cheng Yu is the Dongping Minister, Dong Zhao is the Luoyang Order, and the full favor is the Yingyin Order. Gao Ye, Zhao Yun, Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, and Cao Hong are all generals, Zhang Liao, Lu Qian, Li Dian, Le Jin, Yu Ban, and Xu Huang are all captains, Xu Chu and Dian Wei are all captains, and the rest of the public faces naturally have their own rewards. Even the thirteen people including Bai Boqu Shuai and Dong Cheng who escorted Liu Xie back were all named marquis. As for the other ministers, they were naturally reinstated, and there were no awards except for the gold and silver mansions.

After the big prize, everyone is naturally happy. Today's Gao Ye's civil service is still Yingchuan Taishou, but from now on, he will lose the control of Yingyin. Full Favor is now the Yingyin Order, directly responsible to the imperial court, or to Cao Cao. However, in terms of military positions, Gao Ye's official position has really risen a lot, and finally from the former miscellaneous general, he officially sat in the position of the rear general, and had the right to open the government and build a government. His subordinates, such as Gao Shun, Zhou Cang, Pan Zhang, and others, were also promoted to miscellaneous generals.

The first year of Jian'an was definitely a year worth rejoicing for Cao Cao. Tao Qian's death the year before made the current situation in Xuzhou quite tense, and Yuan Shu's attack caused many casualties among Liu Bei's soldiers. In the past two years, Yanzhou has been in a state of recuperation, which can be regarded as a beautiful beauty, and the wind and rain have been smooth in the past two years, and the grain output has made Cao Cao and others happy. The soldiers have been given enough time to recuperate, and the generals under them have already gained a lot of Gao Shun in the matter of training soldiers, and the soldiers have a new look, even Cao Cao can't help but praise again and again. In addition, now that even the emperor has been invited to Yingyin City, no matter how prominent Yuan Shao's family background in Hebei is, how can it compare to the royal family of the Han Dynasty?

Cao Cao even held a bad taste mentality, and made Yuan Shao a lieutenant and a general for himself. He happened to be in charge of Yuan Shao, and he could be regarded as taking revenge on Yuan Shao's evil anger that had always been on his Cao Cao's head. Although Cao Cao's willful behavior made Gao Ye and the others helpless for a while, but whatever he did, Cao Cao was happy.

Yuan Shao of Yecheng is even more annoyed now, and he did not accept the original suggestion, mainly because he was unwilling to be constrained by Liu Xie and the ministers of the DPRK and China. But who would have thought that Liu Xie, who he had abandoned like a shoe, was actually snatched into the hands of Cao Cao, and now he is relying on the edict of the Son of Heaven to order the Quartet. not only ignored his request to move the capital to Zhencheng, but instead gave himself the position of a captain, the title of Marquis of Ye, and he was under Cao Cao, how could Yuan Shao bear it?

But in the same way, Cao Cao has gained, and Yuan Shao has not gained nothing. Since Liu Bei ran from the plains to Xuzhou, there was no Gongsun Zhan's people in Jizhou to bother him. The eldest son, Yuan Tan, was sent to Qingzhou by Yuan Shao, and was appointed as the governor, preparing to seek the land of Qingzhou. If Yuan Tan is allowed to get the whole Qingzhou, then the Yellow River between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao will no longer exist. At that time, once there is a big fight between the two families, Cao Cao will definitely be in a passive situation.

It is precisely for this reason that at the first plenary meeting of the second year of Jian'an, Gao Ye immediately suggested Cao Cao to seek Qingzhou. "Now Yuan Tan is just a plain in his hands, with Tian Kai in the north and Kong Rong in the south. If you want to take Qingzhou, it will take time. It's just that Tian Kai is a subordinate of Gongsun Zhan, Gongsun Zhan is now in Youzhou, it is difficult to help, and Kong Wenju is even more corrupt and useless. If I don't fight with Yuan Shao, I'm afraid that it won't be long before all Qingzhou is owned by Yuan Tan. ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he nodded and said, "Although what Ming Xi said is reasonable, but now our strength is not enough to start a war with Yuan Shao. Moreover, Mingxi has heard that Zhang Jina died in Jingzhou last year, and Zhang Xiu now occupies Wancheng and threatens the west side of Yingchuan. And we have Lu Bu in the east and Yuan Shu in the south, if we start a war with Yuan Shao at this time, I am afraid that defeat is imminent. ”

When Gao Ye heard this, he also sighed. Cao Cao is right, the current Yanzhou is really full of dangers. Lu Bu in the east has always regarded his defeat in Yanzhou as a great shame. In addition, there is also a Chen Gong who hates Cao Cao very much, and the soldiers and horses of Xuzhou are watching Yanzhou, and it is not a matter of one or two days. Huainan Yuan Shu, since he suffered a big loss in the hands of Gao Ye, although he has been at ease in the past few years, both Cao Cao and Gao Ye know that with Yuan Shu's small-bellied chicken intestines, he is definitely looking for an opportunity to find trouble in Yanzhou. Although Liu Biao in the west has no offensive power, Wancheng is now under the rule of Zhang Xiu. This kid's uncle Zhang Ji was killed by Liu Biao, and he himself had to take the rest of the soldiers and horses to seize Wancheng.

Once he rashly starts a war with Yuan Shao, I am afraid that these people will not let go of this opportunity to beat the water dog. Even if he can contact Gongsun Chan in Youzhou, what can Gongsun Chan do to help? Ju Yi and Zhang He, who are now stationed in the Hejian and Zhongshan areas, are absolutely capable of making Gongsun Zhan's attack come back in vain. When Yanzhou is defeated, it is estimated that it will be just around the corner.

Xun You smiled after sighing in the night: "Although we can't go out of Qingzhou, we can secretly help Kong Rong." Mingxi's subordinates don't have a small general named Pan Zhang, although this person is young, I think he has the talent of a general. What's more, now that his reputation is not obvious, if Ming Xi is willing, he will send him to Beihai to help Kong Rong. In this way, Yuan Tan can not easily take Qingzhou, and Yuan Shao can't suspect that we are waiting, so naturally he will not be evil with the main bus, so wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? ”

"It's just that Pan Zhang, if he goes by himself and doesn't have a prominent family background, how can he easily enter Kong Rong's eyes?" Gao Ye shook his head and said, "If you go on the orders of the lord, then how can Yuan Tan not know?" This is not easy. ”

Guo Jia smiled: "Big brother, didn't you sleep well last night, why do you even have to ask about such a simple thing." Naturally, Pan Zhang couldn't go by himself, and naturally he couldn't go on the orders of the lord. However, he can go on Liu Bei's orders. That Liu Bei already had a good relationship with Kong Rong, and he was an ally, and he had even contributed to saving Beihai before. I heard that Kong Rong was attacked by Yuan Tan, and it was only right to send someone to help. I heard that when the Beihai guard Zong Bao was besieged by the Yellow Turban last year, he had died on the battlefield, and now that Pan Zhang has been recommended by Liu Bei, how can Kong Rong not be happy? ”

"It's just empty words, how can Wen Ju gain Kong Wenju's trust?"

"Haha, this point still depends on Zhongde."

Gao Ye was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but look at Guo Jia and Cheng Yu strangely, what kind of dumb riddle is this, and he has made himself a mess. Need Liu Bei's recommendation, what does it have to do with Cheng Yu? However, seeing that Xun Yu, Xun You and the others were all smiling, Gao Ye knew that there must be a reason for this. But for a while, I couldn't figure it out. Cheng Yu saw that Gao Ye was confused, so he smiled and said: "Your Majesty has entered Ying, and Liu Bei has also arrived." It's not hard for me to imitate his handwriting. Gao Ye only then reacted, he Cheng Zhongde still has this ability.

Also, Xu Shu in history was sent to Xu Du, wasn't it because of a letter forged by Cheng Yu! Liu Bei's characters have also been seen by himself, and they are not extremely difficult to imitate, so there will be no problem in asking Cheng Yu to forge a letter.

Cheng Yu, who was only listening to the side, said: "The matter of Qingzhou can only be like this now. However, in Wancheng, the lord still needs to make plans in advance. Although that embroidery has no intention of attacking, but Wancheng is the gateway to Jingzhou, if we start a war with Yuan Shao, Jingzhou Liu Biao must be guarded against. In this way, Wancheng is very important, and the lord must take it. ”

Cao Cao nodded and said: "Wancheng Zhang Xiu is not stable now, but it is just the land of Xuzhou, and it will also need troops this year." If there is a war on both sides, I am afraid that it will not be appropriate. ”

Xun Yu said with a smile: "Now in Xuzhou, Lu Bu, Liu Bei and Yuan Shu are all around, and the lord is going to go at this time, I'm afraid it's not appropriate." Although Yuan Shu has many soldiers and horses now, he was defeated and retreated by Lu Bu and Liu Bei. Now that the two of them are in calamity, they naturally work together. But once Yuan Shu's troops retreated, they would inevitably start to be dirty. The lord can now issue an edict to reward Liu Bei as the pastor of Xuzhou, so that the two tigers will be injured when they fight. Then go to attack Xuzhou, which has continuous civil strife, and naturally you can get twice the result with half the effort. And the lord can also calmly take Wancheng to control Liu Biao. ”

"If Wen Ruo says this, it is very good." Gao Ye listened to it and said with a smile, but Zhang Xiu in history, when Cao Cao went to attack for the first time, he surrendered the city without even fighting. However, he rebelled immediately, and Cao Cao suffered heavy losses as a result. Not only did Wancheng not take it, but it also lost the general Dian Wei and the eldest son Cao Ang. However, in later generations, many people have different opinions on this matter, and some people feel that Zhang Xiu's later rebellion was because Cao Cao accepted Zhang Xiu's aunt Zou, which led to Zhang Xiu's dissatisfaction, and of course, some people think that Zhang Xiu was just a fraud. But in the final analysis, it's all because Cao Cao is too careless.

Therefore, Gao Ye thought of this, and then smiled: "Even if the lord wants to attack Zhang Xiu, there is no need to worry, when the spring is warm, the army will march, and Wancheng Zhang Xiu will definitely be captured in one fell swoop." ”
