Now the New Han Dynasty and Cao Cao's court have been in a hostile situation. A full-scale war can break out at any time.

Now, although Liu Yi has completely grasped the initiative, it has to be said that it really does not seem to be the best time to launch an all-out war against Cao Cao.

You must know that from the Yellow Turban Rebellion to the present, there has been a period when the world's heroes rose up to fight against Dong Zhuo and the heroes fought, and now, the only remaining princes' forces are not too many. However, the forces of the princes who can survive now have all become large-scale, and each of them, their military horses, is numbered in hundreds of thousands. As they have grown, they have strengthened in all aspects.

The combat effectiveness of their military horses, weapons and equipment, and so on. And, in order to ensure the stability of their power territory, in order to ensure their interests and status, they have made many corresponding measures, such as political and some hardware achievements.

Now, no matter which force the New Han army attacks the princes, it must fight a lot of tough battles and overcome a lot of passes.

The princes of the world, relatively speaking, all of them are strong soldiers and horses, and they can also occupy a certain geographical advantage. They are not the kind of people who are willing to admit defeat lightly, it is impossible for them to surrender because they see the strength of the new Han Dynasty, without a real blow, without a real thwart of their sharpness, and they have no way out, and they will not surrender lightly.

A person, before they have really gained power, there is still a little good to say, but. After tasting the sweetness of supporting one side alone and giving what you want. They will certainly not give up their power to others lightly.

So, Leo can imagine. No matter how strong the New Han Army is, it will inevitably have to fight a life-and-death battle with every prince in the world. Just like Yuan Shao now, it is obvious that the general trend has gone, but he is still dying.

If at this time, before the princes of the world were destroyed, Liu Yi would do his best to win a decisive victory with Cao Cao, who was second only to his own strength in the New Han Dynasty. This is obviously irrational. Liu Yi can take advantage of Cao Cao in mutual calculations, but when it comes to the imminent all-out attack on Cao Cao, Liu Yi always feels that the time is not yet.

Liu Zhang of Yizhou, Zhang Lu of Hanzhong, these two princes, Liu Yi thinks, they have to be solved first.

This is not to say that these two princes were able to pose much of a threat to the New Han Dynasty. Yizhou Liu Zhang and Hanzhong Zhang Lu, they don't have the strength to go out of the Central Plains, and they don't have the courage or the mind. Liu Yi estimated that at most, they were bent on keeping the territory and interests they now had. But even if they don't threaten the New Han Dynasty, but Liu Yi thinks. Yizhou and the land of Hanzhong, if Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu are allowed to rule for too long. Then it is possible that the people of these two places will slowly lose a belief in the Han court, and they will be under their rule. Slowly, they will lose their sense of belonging to the Han court, and then, when it evolves into the question of whether they are Han Chinese, they will fade it, and slowly, it will really evolve into the fact that they truly accept the current regime that governs them, and in their hearts, they will no longer feel proud of being Han Chinese, but slowly, subtly, they will recognize their current identity, recognize their identity as the people of another country, and no longer think that they are the people of the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, Liu Yi believes that after destroying Yuan Shao, his main targets and the territories of the forces to be conquered should be Yizhou and Hanzhong. It is necessary to do everything possible to bring those power territories that seemed to be isolated from the political centers of the Central Plains of the Great Han Dynasty to the rule of the New Han Dynasty.

In this way, Liu Yi felt that he could not start a full-scale war against Cao Cao for the time being. Because once a full-scale war starts, without three or more years of hard work, I am afraid that Cao Cao will not be able to be truly destroyed. There is still optimism to consider, if one is not careful, he may have to be entangled with Cao Cao for more than ten years or even longer.

Just to start a war with Cao Cao, a prince, it will take at least a few years, or even ten years, which is unacceptable to Liu Yi.

In Liu Yi's heart, he has always believed that he has recently eliminated Cao Cao's nearly 500,000 military horses at once, which has reached the point of weakening Cao Cao's strength, slowing down Cao Cao's development, and destroying the rhythm of Cao Cao's development, making Cao Cao fall into passivity, and can no longer pose any threat to the New Han Dynasty for the time being.

At this time, Liu Yi believed that the oppression of Cao Cao should be appropriately eased, and not to cause entanglement and melee with Cao Cao for the time being. It is best to solve the other princes of the world first, leave it for the end, and then destroy Cao Cao's court power in one fell swoop.

However, under the current situation, what if we can alleviate the current state of the imminent war between the New Han Dynasty and Cao Cao?

The New Han Dynasty can also say that whether it really wants to launch an all-out attack on Cao Cao is up to Liu Yi himself. However, this aspect of Cao Cao is difficult to say, and Liu Yi can't control it.

Now, Cao Cao's series of actions, teamed up with Yuan Shao to ambush Liu Yi, and openly sent troops to attack the New Han Army, and captured the Tiger Prison Pass, and also sent troops to kill Luoyang. From Cao Cao's standpoint, even if he didn't take advantage of the New Han Dynasty in the end, Cao Cao's own heart would definitely be extremely depressed and empty-hearted. Liu Yi estimated that Cao Cao must now be afraid that the New Han army would launch an all-out war against him regardless of the situation. Therefore, he must be deploying troops and preparing for a decisive battle with the New Han Army.

If you change or offend a big force like this, you will definitely not feel easy in your heart, and you must think about how to resist the other party's revenge.

In this way, Cao Cao mobilized a large army to guard against the New Han Dynasty, and the New Han Dynasty could not help but make corresponding troop movements to guard against Cao Cao from taking the opportunity to launch an attack on the New Han Dynasty. In this way, whether the New Han Dynasty and Cao Cao really wanted to go to war or not, and if they wanted to fight in an all-out war, both sides had to mobilize troops and horses to be on guard, so that a stalemate situation was formed. In other words, a large number of military horses of the New Han Army, regardless of whether Cao Cao fought a big battle in the end, would also be dragged by Cao Cao, and it would be difficult to concentrate forces to destroy some of the remaining princes' forces.

At this time, if Liu Yi still wants to plan as before. If you first destroy Liu Zhang of Yizhou, Zhang Lu of Hanzhong and other princes and then fight with Cao Cao, then. At this time, we must find a way to break the current grass and trees. A situation where a big war is on the verge of breaking out.

At this time, Cao Cao was the party that was at the loss, at least, Cao Cao knew very well in his heart that it was he who first tore up the non-aggression agreement signed with Liu Yi in Jingzhou. Now Cao Cao is in a period of weakness, he can't, I'm afraid, and I don't have the face to take the initiative to seek a dialogue with Liu Yi. And according to Cao Cao's character, he must be like when he killed Lu Bohao's family. Knowing that he killed a good person by mistake, he still insisted that he was right, and refused to admit his mistake when he died, and in order to cover up his mistakes, he also said that he would rather teach me to bear the world than teach the world to bear me.

Therefore, if Liu Yi does not take the initiative and takes the initiative to seek dialogue, let this tense situation ease. Then, Liu Yi and Cao Cao, I'm afraid that they will really stage a decisive moment in advance.

After Fengxian's reminder, Liu Yi felt. Do you really want to talk to Xun You.

It is impossible to talk to Cao Cao directly, with Cao Cao's character of not admitting mistakes, talk to him. I can't talk about a 1510. The only way to save the country is to find those strategists under Cao Cao's account to talk. Cao Cao's advisors advised him to ease the tension between the New Han Dynasty and Cao Cao.

For those who are truly knowledgeable. They are probably more willing to see the reconciliation between the New Han Dynasty and Cao Cao, and do not want to see the two families immediately launch a full-scale war. Judging from the current situation, although Cao Cao still has the strength to fight, if he really fights with the New Han Dynasty now, anyone can see that the final result will definitely end in Cao Cao's defeat, and the New Han Dynasty will at most spend more time and sacrifice more men and horses.

This is the most suitable and more confident to persuade Cao Cao's strategists, naturally it is Xun Yu and Cheng Yu, and only the wisdom of these two people can make Cao Cao admit his mistakes, let Cao Cao face up to the current bad shape, so that Cao Cao will not break the jar and fall, and he has to fight against the New Han Dynasty. Only Xun You and Cheng Yu can make Cao Cao let go of the obsession in his heart.

Thinking about this, Liu Yi couldn't help but kiss the beauty in his arms, and said to her with appreciation: "Yes, if you don't remind me, I really haven't thought of visiting the head of the Xun family." At present, I am afraid that only the Xun family can keep my Liu Yi, and it is possible to pass the Xun family and change the current tension between our New Han Dynasty and Cao Cao. ”

"Oh? Tong guò Xun family to ease the situation between our new Han Dynasty and Cao Cao? Feng Xian didn't quite understand why Liu Yi would talk about easing tensions between the New Han Dynasty and Cao Cao.

Fengxian she can think of letting Liu Yi go to the Xun family to avoid Cao Cao's pursuit, this is mainly because she knows that the relationship between the Xun family and Liu Yi is not shallow, and there are people in the Xun family who are officials in the New Han Dynasty, considering this relationship, she wants the head of the Xun family, for the sake of their Xun family's bloodline, no matter what, she will keep Liu Yi and will not let Liu Yi fall into Cao Cao's hands.

However, Liu Yi didn't plan to talk about these things with Fengxian in detail, after all, even if he went to the Xun family now, the attitude of the Xun family was not known, and it was useless to talk too much to Fengxian. As soon as you have to see the head of the Xun family, you have to see Xun You. If Xun You is unwilling to talk to him, but directly asks Liu Yi to be arrested, then he will stop talking.

In essence, Liu Yi didn't think that this incident could bring him too much difficulty. Now, my injuries are almost healed, even if they are not completely healed, but the internal force in my body has completely recovered.

Liu Yi felt that with his current state, as long as he was not in the same situation as he was in Nayama Wangdu, surrounded and killed by dozens or hundreds of first-class masters, and attacked by legendary figures like Zuo Ci who were regarded by the world as immortals, Liu Yi did not think that Xu Ducheng would be able to trap him.

At that time, even if the head of the Xun family ignores Xun Shuang, Xun Yu and other children who were officials in the New Han Dynasty, and wants to report to Cao Cao, tell the truth, and tear his face with Liu Yi, then Liu Yi doesn't have to be afraid, don't worry, it's a big deal, just kill Xu Du directly. As for Cao Cao's two daughters, Cao Jie and Cao Hua, Liu Yi didn't think they would be in any danger, even if Cao Cao was vicious, he would not be able to kill his daughters, and it was impossible to kill them because he had a personal affair with Liu Yi. It's a big deal, Liu Yi will find a way to take the two sisters away from Cao Cao's hands in the future.

Therefore, the construction of Fengxian took the opportunity of the birthday of the head of the Xun family. Infiltrate the Xun family and meet the head of the Xun family. After meeting with Xun You, Liu Yi felt that it was still feasible.

Lewi decided so. Discussed some more details with Fengxian.

The next day, after a day of nothing, Liu Yi hid in Fengxian's boudoir, and had endless romances with Fengxian. Qinglou is almost closed during the day, so stay with Fengxian and be a concubine.

As soon as it was dark, Liu Yi put on a little makeup with the help of Fengxian. quietly left Qingwan Building.

Fengxian has received Yin Xiao's personal training, and although it is impossible for her to obtain the true inheritance of the Yin family's disguise technique, she also knows a little bit of fur, and after putting on makeup for Liu Yi, at least people will not be able to recognize it as Liu Yilai at a glance.

Because he planned to take the two sisters of the Cao family into the Xun family, Liu Yi's dress was naturally suitable for the time. Dressed in brocade clothes, the demeanor of a handsome boy also has an indescribable handsomeness.

Liu Yi stepped on the door of Xun's house first, because he had been to Xun's house. Therefore, they know the way. When I arrived at the door of Xun's house, it was already full of traffic. Many guests have arrived as scheduled. Under the guidance of the subordinates of the Xun family, one by one they entered the Xun Mansion that looked festive.

The head of the Xun family has a big birthday. The large banquet will be from the time of darkness until very late.

After inviting so many guests, it is impossible to receive them all at once, and it is estimated that it will take several batches to complete the reception.

Some major and important figures can't come too early, Liu Yi estimates that even Cao Cao has to give some face and go to Xun's house to congratulate him.

Seeing the Xun family's subordinates singing promises, they reported to the Xun Mansion that a certain guest had arrived to congratulate, many names were unheard of by Liu Yi, and some important dignitaries and nobles had not yet come. However, it is impossible to get the Xunfu birthday banquet until midnight, at most, it will be around ten or eleven o'clock in the evening, and the guests will definitely be dispersed. If Liu Yi wants to sneak into the Xun family, it is estimated that it is at eight or nine o'clock in the evening, which is the easiest time to get out, and at that time, it is estimated that it is also the most frequent time for guests to come and go.

However, Liu Yi thought that the agreement with the Cao sisters was before midnight at the latest, and he didn't know when they would sneak out of the Cao Mansion to join him, if it was too late, it didn't seem to be easy to do.

For the time being, he didn't sneak into the Xun family, and Liu Yide had to join the Cao sisters first.

Liu Yi didn't dare to wander around Cao Cao's Prime Minister's Mansion, lest some people with intentions target him or make people recognize him. Therefore, he went directly to the street three or two streets away from the Prime Minister's Mansion and found the inn that Cao Hua said.

Liu Yi was like an ordinary guest, leisurely crossing in.

There are a lot of people in the inn, and at this moment, it is also the time to enjoy dinner.

The inn has only one floor, and the store is not too big, and it is estimated that it is only a small business, in total, there are only more than ten tables.

Most of these guests are just low-level people, and they gather together in three or five of them, drinking wine and blowing nonsense.

Liu Yi was dressed in brocade clothes, but he was a little out of place with the environment, which attracted the attention of many people in the inn, but no one cared about Liu Yi.

The shopkeeper came up to greet him and found a table inside for Liu Yi. Liu Yi was in Qingwan Building, and he was already full of wine and food with Fengxian, but he still ordered a lot of wine and food, and he drank himself leisurely.

Liu Yi saw it, a kid who was in charge of greeting guests together, according to Cao Hua's description, he was probably the soldier who had mixed with Cao Hua in the army. According to Cao Hua, this soldier, because of a crime, was saved by Cao Hua, and now, he is no longer in the army, and he has come back to help his father run this small inn. It is said to be an inn, but it is actually a restaurant, and in the back, there may be more than three rooms, if the guests need, they can be rented for the guests.

Now that there are many guests, Liu Yi naturally will not come forward to explain his intentions and tell him that he will wait for someone here, not to mention, Cao Hua will definitely not sue him, saying that he will come here to wait for Cao Hua.

Cao Hua told Liu Yi to come here and wait for her and Cao Jie, which was mainly to give them an accurate place where they could meet Liu Yi. Whether it is Cao Hua or Liu Yi, they don't plan to let the people in this store know about their relationship with Cao Hua, so as not to implicate them when Cao Cao investigates them.

Liu Yi didn't know how long he would have to wait for the Cao Hua sisters, and he still planned to wait here until about ten o'clock in the evening at most, and at that time, the store was afraid that he would have to make a feint. If you leave the store, there is nowhere to go, it is impossible to stand here and wait for the Cao sisters to come, so that the Cao soldiers who patrol back and forth will definitely come to interrogate themselves, and when the time comes, it will inevitably be troublesome, so it is easy to plan, if around ten o'clock in the evening, he can't wait for the Cao sisters, then, he will sneak into the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Well, Liu Yi is waiting for Hou Caohua and Sister Cao Jie to come to meet. Cao Jie and Cao Hua sisters, but they are really in trouble.

Because, I don't know why, their eldest sister Cao Xian actually watched them all day long, so that they had no chance to get out at all.

Originally, Cao Jie and Cao Hua learned from the people in the family that their father Cao Cao was going out tonight and was going to Xun's house to celebrate his birthday. That, Cao Cao is not at home, it is a good time for them to sneak away. Because, even if the family finds out that the two sisters are missing for a while, I believe that the people in the family will not immediately suspect that their sisters are running away from home, and they will not send someone to search for them and arrest them home.

In fact, the two sisters, if it were normal times, even if they openly wanted to leave the Prime Minister's Mansion, no one would deliberately stop them, because no one would have thought that Cao Jie and Cao Hua had plans to run away from home.

However, now it is different, at this moment, it is a very period for the people of the Cao family. Moreover, Cao Cao is also worthy of being Cao Cao, or the relationship between Mo Ruo's father, Cao Cao's heart is more or less aware of Cao Jie's and Cao Hua's dissatisfaction with his arrangement of their marriage. Especially Cao Hua, the girl, gave Cao Cao the impression that she was a bold girl who dared to mess around, so he specially explained to his family, asking the family to keep an eye on Cao Jie and Cao Hua's sisters, and not to let the two sisters do something.

In addition, Cao Cao's decision to send his three daughters to the palace this time is related to whether he Cao Cao can control the government for a long time and stabilize the political situation of the imperial court, and it is also related to whether his Cao family can really replace the Liu family and control the world in the future. Therefore, Cao Cao also had to pay attention to it.

In the next two days, he will send his three daughters to the palace, so that in the future, he can control the court more firmly, and no one will be able to make some conspiracy behind his back to make him stumble.

And Cao Jie and Cao Hua learned from their subordinates that their father was no longer at home, and it was the best time for them to run away from home immediately, but there was a Cao Xian staring at them, which made the two sisters cry out in vain.

They didn't know that Cao Xian had already seen from some clues that something was wrong with the two sisters Cao Jie and Cao Hua.

Fortunately, Cao Xian herself is also a yellow flower girl, and for a while, she couldn't figure out what the smell of those weird green greens was coming from. She also didn't think for a while that the specks of blood she saw on Cao Jie's bed and in Cao Hua's boudoir were red, otherwise, Cao Jie and Cao Hua would be in trouble now.

Anyway, now Cao Xian just feels that Cao Jie and Cao Hua are a little wrong, a little weird, as if there is some conspiracy. At least, she paid special attention to the walking posture of the two girls, and found that when the two sisters walked, they were extremely unnatural, as if they had been hurt somewhere, but they pretended to be concerned about the inquiry, and the two sisters denied in unison where they were injured.

The more this is the case, the more Cao Xian dare not relax at all about Cao Jie and Cao Hua, and stares at them tightly, for fear that the two sisters will do something unexpected.

In Cao Jie's boudoir.

Cao Jie was a little calm, because she was more confident in Liu Yi, and she believed that even if Cao Hua couldn't take her out of the house to meet Liu Yi outside, Liu Yi could still come and take her away, it was only a matter of time. So, she wasn't in too much of a hurry. When she was a girl, Liu Yi sneaked to the Cao family manor and took Mrs. Ding away, which left a deep impression on Cao Jie, so she was very firm, thinking that as long as Liu Yi agreed to something, she would definitely be able to do it.
