Since the alliance of princes was disbanded, Cao Cao led the remnants to return to his hometown of Chenliu, and used his reputation when the alliance of princes fought against Dong to recruit troops and horses. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

First of all, Xun Yu, a famous scholar from Yingchuan, came to vote, Cao Cao had a long talk with him all night, admired his talent, and immediately appointed him as the chief military commander and chief military advisor.

Xun Yu also deeply felt that Cao Cao valued himself, so he racked his brains for Cao Cao's development, and promulgated a series of measures with Cao Cao's permission, such as purging officials, Qingming prisons, persuading farmers to cultivate mulberry, and implementing tuntian, so that Cao Cao's rule was well organized in just a few months, and the government was harmonious and peaceful.

After a few months of rest, Cao Cao finally showed the blade that had been hidden for a long time, and sent the general Xiahou Yuan to lead 20,000 troops to attack Tangbi in Jiyin County.

At the same time, Cao Cao personally led an army of 50,000 troops into Dongjun, broke the combined army of Tao Qian and Wang Qing, captured and killed Tao Qian, and Wang Qing led the remnants to join his brother Wang Shichong of Songzhou.

Cao Cao's rapid development shocked Dou Jiande, the largest force in Yanzhou, and he took advantage of Cao Cao's army to personally lead the army to attack Chen Liu, but unexpectedly fell into Xun Yu's plan, defeated five battles and five defeats, and broke the generals Fan Yuan and Sun Anzu, and he was also wounded by an arrow, and died suddenly a few months later.

Dou Jiande, Wang Qing, Tao Qian, Wang Qing and other princes died or fled or surrendered, Cao Cao finally sat firmly in Yanzhou, with a population of more than 2 million under his rule, and more than 100,000 armor under his command, including Xun Yu, Xun You, Cheng Yu, Man Chong, etc., Wu Qi, Cao Ren, Cao Ning, Xu Chu, Xiahou Dan, Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Ying, etc., are also a major overlord of the Central Plains.

Cao Cao quietly handed Gao Chang's letter to Xun Yu and said slowly: "Wen Ruo, show it to everyone!" ”

Xun Yu, Wu Qi, Xun You, Cheng Yu, and Cao Ren all read the letter carefully, and finally Cao Ren respectfully handed the letter back to Cao Cao after reading the letter, Cao Cao took the letter and put it on the table, and said lightly: "What do you think, let's listen to it!" ”

"My lord, what a good thing!" Cao Ren said with great joy, "The main force of the Xuzhou army is besieged in Qingzhou, Xuzhou is empty, give me 30,000 troops, and I will definitely take Liu Che's head back!" ”

Cao Cao glanced at Cao Ren dissatisfied, and reprimanded: "Zixiao, you are not young, why are you still so reckless, will Gao Chang be so kind to give me the whole of Xuzhou?" ”

"What the lord means is that what Gao Chang said in this letter is false, is he trying to make the lord grudge Liu Che?" Cheng Yu said tentatively.

"Impossible." Cao Cao shook his head, "My Yanzhou borders Xuzhou, and sooner or later there will be a battle, which doesn't need Gao Chang to sow discord, if he really does this, it will only backfire." “

Xun Yu pondered for a long time and said: "Xuzhou Liu Che is also an ambitious person, coveting Qingzhou for a long time, and it is not an accident to send troops to compete with Gao Chang for Qingzhou, according to Yu, there are only two possibilities, one is that the Xuzhou army won a big victory, so Gao Chang passed on the book to the lord of the book to force the Xuzhou army to evacuate Qingzhou, and the other possibility is that as Gao Chang said, 100,000 Xuzhou troops were besieged in Qingzhou, he was weak in division of troops, and he was unable to enter Xuzhou, so he borrowed the lord's knife to kill Liu Che! ”

"Under the .....," Wu Qi took two steps forward, and wanted to say something, but suddenly stopped.

"Is General Wu trying to say something?" Cao Cao looked at Wu Qi and asked with a smile.

Among the people in the hall, Cao Cao values Wu Qi the most, on the one hand, because Wu Qi's ability is even ashamed of himself, on the other hand, Cao Cao and Wu Qi have a similar feeling, both of them do not pay attention to their private lives, debauchery, and the two of them are like confidants in their private lives.

Wu Qi glanced at Xun Yu Xun You's uncle and nephew with his eyes, and smiled slightly: "No, the lord misunderstood, his subordinates just lost their minds for a while!" ”

"Wu Qi, you are so bold!" Cao Cao suddenly burst into anger, "You dare to be distracted by such an important meeting, come on, drag this rude fanatic out for me and beat the fifty boards!" ”

"My lord, don't do it!" Everyone in the hall was taken aback by Cao Cao's sudden anger, and knelt down to plead for mercy.

"Lord, General Wu has always been like this, I hope the lord will forgive me!"

"Lord, General Wu has a good army, he is a rare general in my Yanzhou, don't do this!"

。。。。。。。。。。。。

Cao Cao seemed to be slightly moved, and said lightly: "Since everyone is interceding for him, I will spare him once, but the death penalty can be avoided and the living crime cannot be escaped, punish this guy for kneeling here today, and learn the rules carefully!" ”

After saying that, Xun Yu and the others looked at each other, and finally sighed at Wu Qi and left silently.

When everyone left, they saw Cao Cao walking out from behind the screen and said to Wu Qi: "Say, there is something that can't be said in front of Wen Ruo and Gongda!" ”

Wu Qi smiled, "Those who know me, the lord is also!" ”

Cao Cao glared at him, "Say it quickly, don't play tricks!" ”

Wu Qi stood up and said to Cao Cao: "Lord, it should be true that the subordinates think that the main force of the Xuzhou Army is besieged by Gao Chang in Qingzhou, and Gao Chang really wants to kill people with a knife, but what he killed is not Liu Che, but the last hope of the Han family!" ”

"What do you mean?"

"The lord, the son of Emperor He was all killed by Dong Zhuoyu except for today, what can a six-year-old child of the Son of Heaven do, I am afraid that this life is the life of a puppet, Fang Today, the only clan that can really revitalize the Han family is Liu Che, who is a warlord, once he dies, the Han family has no hope of revival. In the future, Dong Zhuo really abolishes the throne, and there is no legitimate heir to the throne in the world, so he can't be high..."

Cao Cao sneered, "Brother Gao Chang has a good calculation, this is to make me Cao Cao the gravedigger of the Han family!" ”

Wu Qi bowed and said: "But my lord, the opportunity must not be lost and will not come again, Xuzhou is rich, if it can fall into the hands of our army, it can indeed improve the strength of our army by a grade!" ”

Cao Cao was silent, lingered in the lobby for a long time, suddenly opened his eyes, and said loudly: "Rather teach me to bear the world, stop teaching the world to bear me, the Han family is no longer saved, why should I Cao Cao be that foolish and loyal, the troubled times should also have my Cao Cao." ”

Wu bowed and said: "The lord sees it clearly, and his subordinates are willing to follow the lord to the death and assist the lord to take over this splendid country!" ”

。。。。。。。。。。。。。

Three days later, Cao Cao swore an oath in Chen, leaving his brother Cao Ren strategist Xun Yu to guard Yanzhou, the general Wu Qi led an army of 30,000 to raid Pengcheng County, the general Xiahou Yuan led 20,000 elite soldiers to attack Xiaopei, and Cao Cao personally led an army of 50,000 to respond in the rear.
