0130 Cao Cao ascended the throne
In this way, Zhuge Liang took Guan Yu and returned to Youzhou safely, when Liu Jing saw Zhuge Liang return safely, the hanging heart in his heart had finally been put down, Liu Jing was a smart man, he was just happy to pick up the wind for Zhuge Liang, but he didn't mention a word about Zhuge Liang's envoy work, because he believed that as long as Zhuge Liang came out, there was basically nothing to do, even if it didn't work, there was no need for him to ask, Zhuge Liang would naturally talk to Liu Jing clearly.

In this way, in the midst of the repeated and entangled forces of all parties, Yuan Shao's gathering of the three armies to attack Jizhou dragged on for three months, and Lu Bu also stayed in Pingyuan County for three months.
However, there is one point, Lu Bu is at this time, slowly recovering, and when Lu Bu relieved his breath, his ambition began to rise again, people's inflated desires are unlimited, in troubled times, when a person's desire reaches a height, the war will inevitably break out.
Yuan Shao's three-way army did not fight, but the food consumed was not a small number, most of these grains and grass were supplied by Yuan Shao, because Han Fu had taken refuge in Yuan Shao's account, and Yuan Shu was invited by Yuan Shao, so who would come out of this grain and grass Yuan Shao?
Among the several forces in the north, Liu Jing's strength is the most solid, and he has also been able to develop steadily, because he neither has he gathered troops at the expense of the people and money, nor has he calculated others with all his intentions, and has high internal friction, so his development is still the best.
And whether it is Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu and others, they are actually spending time in constant internal friction and strife, so they have exhausted a lot of money and food, making the soldiers so tired, just because they haven't fought a big battle, so the soldiers actually have a fear of war.
And there are many people who have anxiety or paranoia about being killed, anyway, these soldiers who are preparing for war always have a worried heart, although the soldier's vocation is to fight, but they feel that the days of waiting for war are more difficult than fighting a tough battle.
Although Cao Cao was far away in Sizhou, he did not let go of the idea of occupying the central region at all, and among those opponents in the central region, whether it was Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Zhang Miao, and Tao Qian, they were all imagined by Cao Cao as enemies.
And Cao Cao is also a capable person who governs the world, and he governs the county in an orderly manner, just like Youzhou, Cao Cao vigorously develops agriculture and farming, and ensures that the soldiers are fed and clothed.
Therefore, Sizhou under Cao Cao's rule is generally a little more peaceful, although everyone has the difficulties of border troubles, but in Cao Cao's Sizhou, it is relatively few, and his neighbor Zhang Miao has a good relationship with Cao Cao, and the two have no suspicions.
Ma Teng and Han Sui of Xiliang were also persuaded by Cao Cao to return to Xiliang after unsuccessfully pursuing Lu Bu, and developed steadily in Xiliang, so the entire Luoyang area was surprisingly safe and surprisingly quiet, which also brought an opportunity for Cao Cao's development.
In this situation, Cao Cao took the lead in sweeping the surrounding ambitions, because he suddenly got a trump card, and that trump card was the appearance of Liu Xie, because, just two months after Liu Xie disappeared, Cao Cao found him, it turned out that Liu Xie had not left Sizhou and had not left Luoyang too far.
After discovering the green shoes, Cao Cao sent Liu Xie back to Luoyang, and at this time, Wang Yun wanted to regain power and control Luoyang again, but when Wang Yun began to connect with some ministers, he was secretly killed by Cao Cao.
Because Cao Cao has developed during this period of time, there have been more strategists around him, such as Xun Yu, Xun You, Cheng Yu, etc., these people are all people with great talents in their hearts, their wisdom and strategy, coupled with Cao Cao's wisdom and ambition, this can be said to be like a tiger with wings.
Therefore, in Sizhou and Luoyang, they all became Cao Cao's own place for a while, and the voice of Naiengge against Cao Cao was also suppressed with Wang Yun's killing, and no one dared to stand up and openly oppose Cao Yun.
Cao Cao took control of Luoyang, which was an important fuse, and it was also the first step to set off the entire Han Dynasty towards war and destruction, and it was also the beginning of a new dynasty change.
After Cao Cao took control of Luoyang, he accepted the advice of the strategist Cheng Yu and forced Liu Xie to canonize him as prime minister, and the power of the court began to fall into the hands of Cao Cao.
Cao Cao is a smart man, he wants to sweep away the heroes, of course, not in his own name, but in the name of Liu Xie, the son of heaven, and then he issued a decree to the feudal officials in various places, ordering all local assassins and representative heroes to gradually transfer military power to the imperial court.
Needless to say, Cao Cao's mind is needless to say, those princes and heroes are all human spirits, of course they know what Cao Cao's idea is in his stomach, they won't be so stupid, they won't fall for this, so they colluded one after another to fight against the orders of the imperial court, because they all know that this is Cao Cao's meaning, not the will of today's saint Liu Xie.
In the end, someone actually wrote to Liu Xie directly and began to participate in Cao Cao directly, because the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and those remote assassins and heroes don't have so many scruples, as long as they are unhappy, they can do whatever they want.
For example, you are Yuan Shao in Bohai, Yuan Shu in Qingzhou, Sun Jian in Jiangdong, Liu Yan in Yizhou, Liu Biao in Jingzhou, etc., they are all not inferior to Cao Cao in terms of qualifications or strength, and the distance from Luoyang is not close, so there is nothing to be afraid of.
It was because of these few people that those small princes and heroes also refused to carry out the order of the imperial court to reduce the army and gradually hand over power, which gave Cao Cao an excuse to conquer the world, so Cao Cao began a journey of killing the Quartet.
Liu Jing knew that after Cao Cao became the prime minister, he also had mixed feelings in his heart, because Cao Cao at this time was different from yesterday's Cao Cao, and Liu Jing was also surprised to find that the development process of Cao Cao was almost the same as recorded in the history books of the Chinese Dynasty.
Since then, the Han Dynasty has really come to an end, the general trend of the world is also tending to be chaotic, and the wars and disputes in the troubled times have really begun.
