In the end, Xiahou Juan still followed Liu Yi and left the inn.

Back on the street, Mrs. Zou, Mrs. Su, Mrs. Yu and Mrs. Du had already discussed with the owner of the shop, not to transfer, but to completely dispose of it.

They had already asked the attendants to look for Liu Yi on the street.

Seeing Liu Yi, the women couldn't help but give Liu Yi a roll of their eyes, because they saw that Liu Yi was followed by a girl holding a rouge horse, and they followed Liu Yi step by step.

In such a blink of an eye, this guy hooked up with a little girl, and, very starry, although this little girl is quite beautiful and cute, it seems that she has really not fully developed and is not yet an adult. This bad guy can actually do it?

Liu Yi naturally understood what these women were thinking, and explained very innocently: "What kind of vision do you have? Am I Levi that kind of person? ”

"You're not that kind of person? So what kind of people are they? Madame Jade stepped forward and said to Liu Yi with disgust.

She and Liu Yi finally achieved a good thing, and it was not long ago to break through the last step, so at this time, she and Liu Yi are actually in a strong love.

"It's like, we've been together for so long, and when you twist your ass, we'll know what you bastard thinks." Mrs. Su's unusually emotional little mouth pouted at Liu Yi, stepped forward and took up Xiahou Juan's little hand behind Liu Yi, and said, "What a cute little girl, don't be afraid, tell my sister what your name is." ”

"Okay, her name is Xiahou Juan. is Xiahou Yuan's niece. Liu Yidai Xiahou Juan said: "This girl, who is not small, dared to go from Xudu to Luoyang alone." After passing through the defense line of the Cao army and our Xinhan army, I don't know if she was lucky or unlucky, she was fine all the way, and when she came to Luoyang, she let the thief steal her money. Well, she thought her uncle had been captured by us and imprisoned in prison, and wanted to rob the prison. ”

"Hehe, that's good. is bold, and she is still a loving and righteous little girl, much bolder than when she was a child. Mrs. Su patted Xiahou Juan's little hand. He looked at her carefully.

"Sister...... I—I'm just bold. Listen to him, how many sisters Cao in my family are also in Luoyang? Xiahou Juan was a little embarrassed by Mrs. Su's look, and glanced at Liu Yi and said.

"Sister Cao?"

"It's Cao Xian, Cao Jie, and Cao Hua. You don't know, do you? In fact, Cao Cao's original surname is Xiahou, and now Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan and others. is Cao Cao's real brother of the same clan who is related by blood. Leo Yi explained.

"Oh. I've heard of it, but I didn't realize it all at once. Mrs. Su nodded, and said to Xiahou Juan again: "That's right, these Cao sisters of yours are indeed in Luoyang, come on, my sister will take you there, don't worry about this guy." ”

is the so-called fire prevention, anti-theft and anti-husband, as soon as the girls saw this beautiful and lovely Xiahou Juan. all had a kind of mind that didn't want Liu Yi to be harmed, so they simply squeezed Liu Yi aside. Pulled Xiahou Juan back to Liu's mansion.

In fact, even if Liu Yi had a moment's heartbeat, he really didn't really have too many bad intentions. Seeing this, he simply confessed to the Zou family, and told Xiahou Juan that it was the same for her and her women to go back to Liu's Mansion to see her Sister Cao. Liu Yi didn't go home with the girls.

This incident was just a small episode of Liu Yi in Luoyang, and Liu Yi didn't have the heart to pay too much attention to Xiahou Juan, so he transferred to the palace court.

Liu Yi had already ordered the imperial court to send someone to secretly send a part of the explosives package to the various armies, and it was estimated that it would not be long before it was delivered to the generals of the various armies. When the time comes, the proper use of the power of the explosives package will certainly speed up the course of the war. Therefore, Liu Yide must always pay attention to the situation and be ready to go to the front line at any time.

When they arrived at the court, the civil and military officials were busy with their own affairs, and there was no situation in the court as in the films and television of later generations, and there were no stupid people in the court to listen to the court.

In the court, there are more courtiers who come and go in a hurry, and they will only come to the court when there are some things they are responsible for that they cannot decide, or when they have to take them to the court and hand them over to Taiwei, Sikong, Situ and other adults to sign and discuss and decide.

This situation made Liu Yi feel that this court was indeed a bit like the company in later generations, everyone had their own advantages, if it was not a real meeting, they would generally not all stay in the court at all times, and they would each handle the affairs at hand in their yamen where they handled official business.

Liu Yi said hello to the ministers who were busy in the court, then sat on the dragon seat in the court, picked up some documents stacked together and looked at them.

Many of these are written plans for the future development of the new Han Dynasty, and they are all detailed plans. For every document, Liu Yi has to carefully watch, think, and annotate.

Of course, occasionally courtiers will come forward to report to Liu Yi on certain matters, so that Liu Yi can decide some things.

Just when Liu Yi was in Luoyang, he was rhythmically dealing with various affairs of the new Han Dynasty in the future. The war of parallel lines is in full swing.

Cao Cao's orders were transmitted to the armies separately, which was a prelude to Cao Cao's intention to shrink the defense.

First of all, Shouchun.

When Cai Mao learned that Cao Cao had ordered him to be executed, he was naturally unwilling, but unfortunately, even if he was unwilling, he couldn't react for a while.

If he had known that Cao Cao had already made up his mind to behead him, use his head to deter Cao Jun and rectify Cao Jun's heart. He's certainly not going to sit still.

He is now, after all, he is outside, and the so-called monarch's name is not affected, as in history, it is Cao Cao who directly executed him, so that he is powerless to resist at all. He is in Shouchun, and he still has more than 100,000 Cao Jun and sailors in his hands, although he has handed over the military power of Shouchun City, so that Cao Hong can control the military power of Shouchun City, but among them, many generals have an unclear relationship with Cai Mao. To be honest, if he had known that Cao Cao was going to cut him, he would most likely have turned against Cao Cao.

However, it was announced that Cao Cao had decided to deal with him. It was Cao Hongqin who led a team of men and horses and directly broke into Cai Mao's water village outside Shouchun City. Moreover, Cao Hong didn't give Cai Mao a chance to say anything more at all. didn't even give Cai Mao a chance to speak. Cao Hong asked Cao Cao's secret envoy who came with him to read out the order to behead Cai Mao in public, and Cao Hong immediately took action, so that Cai Mao had no time to resist, and his head had already fallen to the ground.

After the matter was over, he continued to announce Cai Mao's guilt, and then, Cao Hong also directly seized the military power of Cai Mao's army. Which naval army will have half a disagreement, Cao Hong will directly cut it first without saying a word.

So, Cai Mao's water army. Although there was a little commotion and panic, it was quickly suppressed by Cao Hong, and the ordinary generals of the navy did not dare to have any excesses.

This time. Sun Ce's Jiangdong New Han Army. For the time being, he has not been able to capture the Cao Jun Water Village in front of Shouchun City, that is to say, the direction of Shouchun to the north of the Huai River, Sun Cejun has not been able to control it.

And Cao Hong was very thorough about the order sent by Cao Cao. He had already understood Cao Cao's intentions. Therefore, after beheading Cai Mao and deterring the whole army. He immediately led Shouchun's Cao army to evacuate, using the warships and soldiers of Cao's army in Shuizhai. The military horses covering Shouchun retreated from the waterway.

Of course, Cao Hong naturally wouldn't just withdraw empty-handed. Instead, just like when Yuan Shu fled from Shouchun, he directly plundered the army and looted a large amount of money in Shouchun, so that the army could protect and escape from Shouchun.

Even if Cao Hong's actions were fast, Sun Ce's Jiangdong New Han Army, when it detected Cao Jun's intentions, it was too late to mobilize military horses to pursue Cao Hong's army. What's more, the Cao Army Water Village on the Huai River in front of Shouchun City has not yet been captured, and it is difficult for the New Han Army's water army to directly cross the Cao Army Water Village to pursue the Cao Army. And if you go around the pursuit by land, it will be difficult to attack the Cao army on the waterway. In addition, the area along the Huai River and into Yingshui is still in the hands of Cao's army, so it is not feasible to pursue it by land.

In this way, Cao Hong let him escape before the New Han army had time to surround Shouchun's army. An empty city was left for the New Han army.

Well, Cao Hong didn't know that his self-inflicted act of being a clever arson to loot Shouchun before leaving was self-defeating. In this way, it is equivalent to directly exposing the cruel side of Cao Jun. This also made the original situation that the people of the Central Plains still supported Cao Jun directly turned into a kind of fearful resistance to Cao Jun. Let some towns in the Central Plains, the people in the towns that are still under the control of the Cao army, they are worried about whether the Cao army will also plunder them, which will make the people of the entire Central Plains panic.

Of course, the matter of Shouchun City will not spread throughout the Han Dynasty at once. Everything is that Sun Ce led the army into Shouchun, and saw that the city of Shouchun was full of desolation, dilapidated, and everyone wanted to cry without tears, and everyone was crying. Then, after publicity, the true situation of Shouchun City was disseminated. In this way, the Cao army, which let the people from all over the Han Dynasty know about Shouchun, actually plundered it before evacuating when it evacuated Shouchun.

This matter reached Cao Cao's ears, and Cao Cao also scolded Cao Hong, scolding Cao Hong for being a vertical son, it was not enough to conspire, if he hadn't beheaded Cai Mao just now, Cao Cao wanted to order Cao Hong to be beheaded. You know, how much effort did Cao Cao have to make the people of the Central Plains change their opinion of his Cao army, and only then did he gain the support of the people of the Central Plains for his Cao army? Now, giving Cao Hong such a fuss directly made Cao Cao lose the hearts of the people and the enthusiastic support of the people of the Central Plains, which is equivalent to making Cao Cao directly lose one of his biggest confidences.

Some things have a ripple effect.

The most direct response is to take Shouchun as the center, and the surrounding towns, the local people actually spontaneously revolted, directly taking advantage of the fact that they had not yet withdrawn, the Cao army that stayed to guard the city was unprepared, and the people spontaneously rose together to expel the Cao army in the city, and then invited the New Han Army to send troops to station.

Of course, the main thing is some local nobles and tyrants, who play a leading role.

Shouchun City, the one who suffered the most damage is actually those wealthy families, because only those wealthy families will have more wealth, when Cao Hong plundered Shouchun City, the most important thing is to plunder those big families, only in this way can you get a lot of wealth faster.

In this way, how could they watch the wealthy families of the world in the local towns around Shouchun be plundered by the Cao army again? Therefore, most of them struck first, united first, stirred up the people, revolted together, and expelled Cao's army.

Not only in the area of Shouchun, when the incident in Shouchun spread to all parts of the Central Plains, the direct impact was the towns around Qingzhou. Especially Xuzhou, which borders Qingzhou.

The people of Xuzhou, although they have indeed been facilitated by Cao Cao's governance in recent years, the lives of most of the people have indeed improved. However, the people of Xuzhou, no one will forget that Cao Cao took revenge for his father, sent troops to attack Xuzhou, and bloodied all the way to Xuzhou.

Because Cao Jun had such a criminal record, now, once the same cruel deeds are exposed. Especially the current Cao army, which was pressed by the New Han Army to fight, was already considered an extremely unfavorable situation. This also has to make the people of Xuzhou worried, worried that if the Cao army is really defeated by the attack of the New Han Army, when they want to retreat to avoid the edge of the New Han Army, whether it will be like the Cao Army in Shouchun City. What about just washing and sweeping and then leaving?

Therefore, it is really impossible not to worry the people of Xuzhou, and they are not panicked. In particular, now that Xiapi City has fallen into the hands of the New Han Army, if the people of Xuzhou, they hear a little rumor and hear the news that the New Han Army is going to kill them. Those people, they are not worried that the New Han Army is coming, but they are worried about whether the Cao Army will leave and it will be unfavorable to them.

Because of such a mentality, Cao Jun in Xuzhou almost lost the support of the people. Many people in the local towns of Xuzhou, in order to beware of Cao Jun's disadvantage to them. They usually hide the money and food in the army first, and then find an excuse to flee from the town where they are located, usually hiding in the attached villages or mountains first, hoping to wait for the war to wait until the New Han army has killed and driven the Cao army away, and then they will return to the city.

This situation is indeed a common phenomenon in Xuzhou.

The New Han Army also seized this opportunity and began to attack Xuzhou.

Because Xiapi is already in the hands of Gan Ning. Therefore, the army horses accompanied by Gongsun Du in Qingzhou also began to send troops from Beihai, and Chen soldiers were at the junction of Qing and Xu Prefectures, and had already captured some towns that belonged to Cao's army.

In fact, things have developed to this point, and the Cao army in Xuzhou has no intention of resisting the New Han army. In particular, as soon as Cao Cao's order was issued, Cao's army began to retreat in batches, retreated to the area of Mangdang Mountain, and began to deploy defenses according to some dangerous terrain.
