Chapter 57 Single-mindedness

Cao Cào's soldiers came to Youzhou, and the high-ranking cadres who had surrendered before suddenly surrendered and rebelled!

Marching and fighting is the most taboo to be led by the enemy, so Cao Cào led the army to Youzhou, and ignored the rebellion of Gao Gan, after all, he only occupied the four states of Hebei militarily, and had not yet begun to rule administratively.

The siege of Qianping was successfully lifted after Cao Cào personally led his army, and Cao's army drove the Wuhuan army led by Bundun out of the Great Wall.

Another winter passed, and in the eleventh year of Jian'an, Cao Cào returned to Bingzhou after occupying Youzhou and cleaned up Gaogan.

Gao Gan was defeated and fled to Jingzhou, where he was beheaded by Du Wei Wang Yan and sent to Cao Cào to ask for merit.

The four states of Hebei were all pacified.

The wind was refreshing, and Cao Cào stood on top of the Huguan City in Bingzhou, looking indifferently at the northeast direction.

Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang are not dead yet, and he is always uneasy in his heart.

Getting out of the Great Wall and crusading against Wuhuan is a difficult problem that must be solved!

In the eleventh year of Jian'an, Cao Cào returned triumphantly.

Outside Xuchang, hundreds of officials greeted each other, and even Liu Xie, the son of heaven, went out of the city to greet Cao Cào.

Blue silk brocade robe, crimson cloak, Cao Cào returned from riding a horse and leading the army with an expressionless face, and many of the civil and military officials who greeted him in the middle of the road had a trembling expression.

They have passed through Yuan Shao's affairs, and it is very likely that they have been defeated.

And what will Cao Cào, the notorious killing god, do?

All the officials who had correspondence with Yuan Shao were in their hearts.

Chances are, today is the last time you see the sunrise.

Cao Cào came to Xuchang with the victorious army, turned over and dismounted, first saluted Liu Xie, and then ordered someone to place the boxes of letters in front of the eyes of the hundred officials at the entrance of the city, Cao Cào took a torch, threw it on the wooden box at random, and then turned around and entered the city.

The flames were not high, but many officials watched intently.

Life, saved!

Moreover, there is also a feeling for Cao Cào!

Liu Xie's face was complicated to look at Cao Cào, who was superior to him in both momentum and majesty, walking into the city, and leaving without regard for the courtesy of the monarch and ministers, which was simply a kind of contempt!

However, in the eyes of the surrounding officials looking at Cao Cào's back, in addition to admiration and admiration, there was also timidity and retreat, and few people would look at Cao Cào with hatred.

The wind and clouds are changing, the white clouds and the dogs, Liu Xie looks up at the bright sky, but he can't even see a trace of dawn. 15

Today's Cao Cào sits on the seven states of the world, and half of the country is in his hands.

After returning to Xuchang, Cao cào abolished the Three Princes, took the prime minister, and overrode the hundred officials!

This is already a symptom of a powerful minister's ambition!

Prime Minister was an official position at the level of the three dukes at that time in the Qin Dynasty and the early Han Dynasty, and Cao Cào was not a precedent, but only restored the prime minister system. **.yued

The prime minister, on the other hand, can open a government independently and have his own office system.

Therefore, Cao Cào can justifiably set up his prime minister's office in Yecheng, Xuchang is still the imperial capital, but it is no longer the central organ of Cao Cào's rule, and all the real power is in Cao Cào's hands, and it has also been moved to Yecheng.

After having the annexation of the state, Cao Cào can guard against Guo Jia who sent troops from Hangu Pass in the Sili area, the Yellow River ferry and Nanyang are in Cao Cào's hands, even if Guo Jia wants to send troops from Hangu Pass, it will be very difficult, to use the image metaphor is to be from Hangu Pass, it is possible to be attacked from three sides.

In the strategic plan of the past few years, Cao Cào is to swallow Hebei, and now that Hebei is in hand, the strategy for the next few years will be reformulated.

Everyone thought that Cao Cào should have set his sights on the south, but Cao Cào unexpectedly threw out a target.

Wu Huan!

No one is in favor of it left or right!

Cao Cào may be lonely at the moment, in history he had Guo Jiali to help him make this decision, and now, Guo Jia, the only person who can understand him, is his enemy, and his fate has gone to the other extreme in Luoyang twenty years ago.

Forcefully overriding public opinion, Cao Cào is to fight Wuhuan!

With half of the country as capital, Cao Cào also needs to go through a long period of preparation to launch such an unpredictable war.

The four prefectures of Hebei should speed up the pace of recuperation and recuperation, raise troops in Tuntian, be frugal among the officials and the people, and put an end to luxury.

The difficulty of conquering Wuhuan does not lie in the number of troops, not in the mutual restraint of the arms of the enemy and us, and the most difficult part is the geographical advantage.

Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang fled to Liucheng to take refuge in Badun, and Cao Cào wanted to wave his army to attack Liucheng, and the number one problem was that the road was not smooth.

From Hebei to Liucheng, there is no post road, no road, to cross the Great Wall, only the mountain road can be walked, ordinary peddlers and pawns take this road are very miserable, not to mention thousands of troops? It is difficult for people to walk, and transporting grain and grass is something that they dare not even think about.

In order to launch a war against Wuhuan, Cao Cào stockpiled strategic materials and ordered people to open two canals in central Hebei, one called Pingyu Canal and the other called Quanzhou Canal (this Quanzhou is not Quanzhou, Fujian). The function of these two canals was to transport grain from central Hebei to eastern Hebei by waterway for the war.

Cao Cào's preparations for the war against Wuhuan are in full swing, and Guo Jia, who is far away in Chengdu, is living a very comfortable and leisurely life.

In the early morning sunshine, on the martial arts arena in the backyard of Guo's mansion, a man and a NV fist and foot jiāo were wrong, and a pair of figures flashed and turned, and they fought equally.

The battle was stalemate, the arms of the two were wrongly made to each other, Zhu Rong's back was attached to Guo Jiaxiong's mouth and Guo Jia's shackles could not be supported, Guo Jia's strength was superior, and one hand slowly pinched her neck under Zhu Rong's struggled resistance.

"That's it for today."

Guo Jia suddenly let go of Zhu Rong and walked to the sidelines, and Guo Ying jumped over and gave him a máo towel, Guo Jia wiped his sweat while looking back at Zhu Rong.

Tired and exhausted, Zhu Rong bent over and panted.

Guo Jia walked over and handed her the máo towel, Zhu Rong didn't see it, and wiped the sweat beads on his face after taking it.

"I see that you don't practice martial arts much on weekdays, but I didn't expect your strength to be so great."

Zhu Rong said breathlessly, looking up at the sun, it was not spicy, but it was also hot.

Guo Jiapan sat down, shrugged his shoulders and said: "Maybe I will go to the battlefield at any time, if I don't even have the strength to flee for my life, wouldn't I kill myself if I go?" ”

Zhu Rong sat opposite her, and her tight clothes showed her slender figure at a glance, quite a woman's posture.

"I don't understand, you have so many generals, why do you have to lead troops to fight by yourself? If your generals are killed, you can still train or promote more generals, but if you die on the battlefield, won't this Yizhou, Guanzhong, and Liangzhou all be gone? ”

Guo Jia put his right fist against his chin and said with a smile: "If the enemy is a shrimp soldier and crab general, I naturally don't need to personally lead the troops to the battle, but if it is a battle that determines life and death, how can I entrust my fate to others?" As you said, a military general can die in battle, and a monarch must not lose, but the gains and losses of a war are not only in front of the present, but also in the overall situation. For example, if Prime Minister Cao Cheng of Kanto led an army to attack Hangu Pass, I would inevitably go north in person, why? Because if Guanzhong falls, it is not a question of how many soldiers have died, if it is destined to be defeated in Guanzhong, I will die there in person, I will not go, it will only be to live for 20 more years, because Guanzhong is lost, the overall strength gap between me and Prime Minister Cao Cheng will become bigger and bigger, and one day, Yizhou will also be his. ”

Zhu Rong also tilted her head, just in line with Guo Jia's gaze, she was silent for a while and suddenly asked, "Do you really want to be the emperor?" ”

Guo Jia was stunned.

blurted out: "Is there any benefit to being an emperor?" ”

Zhu Rong also looked surprised, and asked rhetorically: "Isn't it possible to be an emperor as he pleases?" ”

Guo Jia shook his head and said, "No, you are wrong. What does it mean to reign over the world? It's responsibility. It is a responsibility to all the people in the world and to the Chinese nation. Therefore, the person who becomes the emperor must first be conscientious and work hard, if he can't do it, then he will not only be a sten thousand years old, but even a sinner of the entire nation. I studied hard since I was a child, and I didn't dare to slack off every day, for fear that there would be no place to stand in the world, and it was the least pursuit to be able to settle down and be alone. Being an emperor is not my pursuit, because in my eyes, it is a painful thing, and if I have lived in such an environment all my life, then I will feel sad for my life until the day I die. ”

Zhu Rong's eyes were blank, maybe she hadn't seen all the Han people, but she had also heard and seen many Han people who had said that the superiority and authority of being the emperor seemed to be respected by the Son of Heaven all over the world, so how could it be a painful thing to be an emperor?

Everything in the world, give and take, who doesn't want such power?

"In this case, I heard that Cao Cào helped the Han Emperor unify the north of the Yellow River, if you don't want to be the emperor, then go and turn enemies into friends with Cao Cào now, won't the Han family be unified again? Liu Biao of Jingzhou is a relative of the Han emperor, and if Sun Quan in Yangzhou does not surrender, isn't he looking for his own death? ”

Zhu Rong's question may be a question in the hearts of many people now.

It can also be refuted that Guo Jia has ambitions to replace the Han family and establish himself as emperor.

Otherwise, now the territories of him and Cao Cào combined, it is eight points of the world.

Liu Biao and Sun Quan, if they don't surrender, will they really have to pay for the lives of the three clans?

Guo Jia looked up at the sky, his eyes ethereal.

"Zhu Rong, you're right, if I go to the Xuchang Imperial Court now, then the country will indeed be unified in the blink of an eye, but this day, I will no longer be surnamed Liu, but surnamed Cao. Of course, I'm not interested in being the emperor, and I don't mind if someone from the Cao family does, but what kind of situation will the fate of the Han people go? You don't know, I don't know, the strength of the dynasty is first of all internal, but in my eyes, the internal power under the rule of Cao Cào is not strong enough, not strong enough to sit firmly in the country and lead the Chinese nation on the road to prosperity and strength. ”

In fact, Guo Jia's previous life was just an ordinary person, and he couldn't find a corner sè when he was ordinary in the sea of people.

But now, he has the opportunity to grasp his fate and rewrite history, at this moment, he did not choose to retreat, even if he was wrong and he became a sinner in history, he would rather insist on going like this.

In this critical era when the mén valve of the scholar clan began to develop, Guo Jia wants to strangle the power of the mén valve in the cradle, and let the dream of those gentry mén valve who vainly want their children and grandchildren to become masters of the people without hard work be shattered!

Perhaps in every era, the children of the powerful are born with inexhaustible glory and wealth.

However, Guo Jia cannot tolerate such a thing becoming a system, and it is legitimate and reasonable to exist in this country with power.
