Cao Zhang's and Yang Feng's army marched all the way, and by the end of August of the fourth year of Jian'an, they reached the territory of Yingchuan, and Cao Zhang planned to return to Xudu directly tomorrow after resting for the night in Wuyang, and had just entered the county seat of Wuyang, and the Wuyang County Commander brought a message about Cao Cao. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It turned out that Cao Cao had sent troops to Liyang City on the bank of the Yellow River in Yanzhou a few days ago, and Zang Ba had gathered Sun Kang, Sun Guan, Wu Dun, Yin Li, and Chang Feng led tens of thousands of thieves to take Beihai, Chengyang, Donglai and Linzi in Qingzhou with the support of Taishan Taishou Lu Qian, Yuan Shao's son Yuan Tan had retreated to Qi County, Jinan, and Le'an on the bank of the Yellow River.

According to the Wuyang County Order, the reason why Cao Cao suddenly sent troops was because Yuan Shao issued a letter of "Asking for Cao Cao", which not only insulted the ancestors of the Cao family, but also put many trumped-up charges on Cao Cao, such as what to hijack the Son of Heaven and slaughter loyal ministers, and also wrote some of the past events of the slaughter of the city on it, and even put all the credit for Cao Cao's release of "Asking for Dong Weiwen" on Yuan Shao's head, which was used to flaunt Yuan Shao's tall image.

It is said that this letter is written in a brilliant manner, and Cao Cao only said one sentence after reading it: "Those who have literary affairs must use military strategy to help them!" Then he discussed the matter of sending troops, obviously to see the real chapter under his hands, and at the same time used his actions to insinuate that Yuan Shao's military strategy was insufficient, if there was a military strategy, why did he lose three counties in Qingzhou as soon as the war started? Although Cao Zhang had only heard a few pieces of news, he also knew Cao Cao's initial strategy, and it was obvious that Cao Zhang's resourcefulness was also maturing.

After a day of rest, Cao Zhang immediately rushed back to Xudu, as soon as he arrived in Xudu, Cao Zhang first went to Sikong Mansion, at this time in Xudu presided over the overall situation of the person is Shangshu Ling Xun Yu, and Yingchuan Taishou Xiahou Yuan, Cao Zhang first told Xun Yu about Yang Feng's surrender, Xun Yu said that as long as the Son of Heaven issued an edict, Yang Feng could return to Hongnong with 3,000 people.

Then Xun Yu told Cao Zhang that Cao Cao had left a task for him, that is, to escort Emperor Xian to Liyang to pay homage to Cao Cao.

This is the result of a joint discussion between Guo Jia and Xun Yu, who believes that Yuan Shao pointed out in the text that Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven, so they wanted to ask the Son of Heaven to personally worship Cao Cao, and then crusade against Yuan Shao.

At the same time, the emperor will issue an edict saying: From Yuan Shao's previous adviser Dong Zhao, he got the news of Yuan Shao's intention and Han Fu to set up a new monarch, and he should be punished for the crime of treason, and now he reverses black and white, slanders the important ministers in the court, and punishes the two crimes, and should punish the nine clans, but the Yuan family is the pillar of the society, so as long as he begs to surrender, he can be exempted, and Yuan Shao's clansmen or subordinates begging to surrender must be rewarded and not punished.

This is the strongest counterattack to break Yuan Shao's army's heart, and it is more lethal than Yuan Shao's letter, obviously Yuan Shao expected one thing wrong, that is, Emperor Xian is now willing to be used by the Cao family, rather than being held hostage, so the letter "Asking for Cao Shao" is self-defeating.

Of course, Cao Zhang did not believe that the emperor's worship and edict could intimidate Yuan Shao and support their clans, after all, Yuan Shao's troops were superior, and Cao Cao's rear also had many clans, as long as Cao Cao was dragged by Yuan Shao, the rear clan rebelled, Cao Cao was the result of the enemy on the back, from the overall situation, Cao Cao is still a disadvantage, and the emperor's worship and edict can at most put Cao Cao in a not so disadvantaged position when the two are deadlocked, and can not fundamentally change the situation of the war.

People of insight can see that the Hao clan is rising and the Han family is declining, and Yuan Shao represents the interests of the world's great clans, so no matter what Emperor Xian says, they will still support Yuan Shao before Yuan Shao is defeated.

But the current situation may be much better than in history, after all, Emperor Xian is now very cooperative, Cao Zhang is of course very happy with this task, so he asked Xun Yu: "Mr. has set a date for the Holy Departure?" ”

Xun Yu replied: "Because Liyang still has to build a worship platform, so the saint can start from the tenth day of the ninth month." ”

Cao Zhang nodded and said: "In that case, I will let Brother Wen Lie rest for his tiger and leopard riders for a while, by the way, has Mr. Fengxiao already gone out with the army?" ”

Xun Yu replied: "Exactly." ”

Cao Zhang nodded, thinking that he must bring Hua Tuo here, and he will go to the palace to ask Emperor Xian to send an envoy to find Zhang Zhongjing, who is too shou of Changsha, Zhang Zhongjing, this year, the doctor is still very important, thinking about this, Cao Zhang said: "So Zhang first said goodbye!" ”

Xun Yu suddenly spoke: "Third son! ”

Cao Zhang asked, "What's the matter, sir?" ”

Xun Yu said: "The battle between the lord and Yuan Shao has begun, and the fate of the world can be said to depend on the outcome of this battle. ”

Cao Zhang sat down when he heard this, and thought about Xun Yu's words carefully, the so-called unification first means that regardless of the local power, the princes who occupy a large area of land were destroyed first, such as Sun Ce, Liu Zhang, and even Ma Teng and Han Sui who had protons in Xudu, as well as Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, and Xian'annei, which was the first to attack the gate lord clan referred to by Liu Ye, change the rule of officials, ban private soldiers, and destroy the arsenal.

From Cao Zhang's point of view, of course, it is better to be in peace first, and without the gate valve, there will be at least less chaos and various inducements for the division between the north and the south, but in the face of Xun Yu, a son of the family, he Cao Zhang can't say this, although when he greeted the Son of Heaven, Xun Yu had already stated that he knew that the family had many shortcomings, but when the matter came, in the face of the rise and fall of the country and the family's own interests, it was too difficult for him to choose one of them.

And as Cao Cao's son, Cao Zhang knows his father very well, he is used to choosing the fastest and most labor-saving method, that is, to appease the clan first, and then the strength of the clan and his own strength to beat the princes of one side to death or surrender, and then start to purge after unification, in this process, Cao Cao will choose a compromise that can be accepted by himself and the clan, for Cao Zhang, he has no choice at all, no matter what he thinks, the result will not change.

So Cao Zhang said Cao Cao's true thoughts: "Father will naturally want to unify first!" ”

Cao Cao is a great hero and a hero, but he is still a person, Cao Zhang thinks that the reason why Cao Cao wants to quickly unify may also be because he knows that eradicating the gate valve is not a matter of time and a half, so he wants to achieve immortal feats in his lifetime and unify China, even if it is only ideological unity.

Xun Yu smiled when he heard Cao Zhang's answer and said, "The third prince and Yu see the same thing. ”

Cao Zhang sighed in his heart, killing Liu Bei must have accelerated the speed of unification, but he missed the opportunity to eradicate the world, after Yuan Shao's defeat, the power of the world was dormant, and it was the best time for Cao Cao to dominate the world, how could he bother to eradicate the world?

The foundation of the family has been formed, if it is not eradicated at the weakest time of Yuan Shao's defeat, giving them a chance to breathe, I am afraid that the consequences will be unimaginable, Cao Pi is gradually influenced by Xun Yu, biased towards literature, and does not ask the family that can be known to be close to the family of Jingxue Zhi, when Cao Cao hinders the order of the eldest and youngest, Cao Pi has the support of the family who has regained its vitality, but I am afraid that he Cao Zhang will have to compete with his good brother at that time.

Its destructive power is not much better than that of the Three Kingdoms, and he is not sure of victory! How can this be?
