Chapter 181: Open Fight and Secret Fight

Cash-for-work is a popular disaster relief method in Yanzhou, and he clearly told everyone who has hands and feet - only by giving can there be gain; Liu Xie, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, came to Yanzhou, so as the political, cultural, and military center of Cao Cao's current rule over Yanzhou and even Sili, Xuchang City is undoubtedly going to be renovated, and the magnificent palace must be had, perhaps not comparable with the former Luoyang, at least it must be present; Xun Yu is responsible for Xuchangcheng's political affairs, people's livelihood and other matters, and this matter naturally falls on his shoulders; As far as Cao Cao's territory is concerned, he is divided into four parts, Zang Hong of Chen Liu, Cheng Yu of Taishan, Li Yu of Sili, and Xun Yu of Xuchang; Xun Yu hopes that he can perform better; Xun Yu was a very talented man who understood the hardships of the people, and he knew what kind of damage the construction would cause to Yanzhou and all the people under Cao Cao's command; His choice was not only to reduce the damage to people's livelihood, but also to build the palace, so he expanded the entire city of Xuchang City a lot, and it took only a very short time to complete, although it looks small, but it is not bad! At least there is more solemnity and less luxury; These are all small things, what really matters is the secret fight between Cao Cao and Liu Xie these days; ……

……

Liu Xie, the son of the Han Dynasty, seems to be really smart, and he no longer pulls over Cao Cao's subordinates all the time, hoping that they will become his subordinates; He no longer shows his royal prestige all the time, it seems that the rain and dew of grace never stops, and he no longer appeases Cao Cao all the time, and from Si Li Chang'an, Cao Cao's official position has changed from the third prince to a general!

The position of the general is the military attache of the Han Dynasty who holds all the power and exercises the position of prime minister, ranking above the three dukes, which can be said to be above 10,000 people under one person, and the position is only so!

Cao Cao smiled slightly at that time and did not refuse, but took this opportunity to say that Liu Xie divided the famous princes of the Han River, for example, Gongsun Zan recently became a former general, Youzhou Mu, Ling Zhihou, and interestingly, Yuan Shuye is also a former general; There is also that Yuan Shao was pardoned and named Situ, he scolded at that time, and then wrote to the court, saying: Shame is under the descendants of eunuchs; Cao Cao didn't get angry, but told Liu Xie very seriously, if I became a general, many people would crusade against me, and anything could happen in the war, even if it was the son of destiny - the son of heaven!

Liu Xie understood what he meant, so Cao Cao resigned from the position of general on the grounds that he was not talented and brave enough, and recommended Yuan Shao to the position; He started to be a commonplace with peace of mind; Cao Cao's treacherous and cunning general Liu Xie's army, and it was a naked threat to Liu Xie, Liu Xie originally wanted to provoke the relationship between Cao Cao and the princes from all walks of life, or provoke the relationship between Cao Cao and his subordinates, but he didn't expect to get this in exchange; Thinking of Cao Cao's sneering Lian, Liu Xie was silent, silence does not mean being willing to be lonely, he reflected on his mistakes, understood that he was a little hasty and a little too reckless, he decided not to use this means; Yang Biao is the third prince of the fifth generation, and the Hongnong Yang family is also one of the few big surnames and wang clans that can be compared with the Yuan family, and the difference with the Yuan family is that the Yang family is still loyal to himself and the Han Dynasty, and the scholars of Yanzhou do not sincerely obey Cao Cao's orders, which was noticed by Liu Xie, and he smelled the opportunity; Especially after arriving in Xuchang City, he saw Xun Yu, this person... It's kind of interesting!

No matter how Liu Xie stirred up the wind and rain, Cao Cao seemed to be passively coping, silently enduring it, and perhaps ignoring and letting it go..."Lord! Isn't it okay to go on like this? Xu Rongyu hesitated and finally said something he wanted to say for a long time, but he didn't hold back after all; Oh? What's not good? Cao Cao's eyelids shrugged, and he kept looking at the theory of kings that Li Yu gave him, as if he was absent-minded and didn't care; Xu Rong's face was angry, this was not for Cao Cao but for Liu Xie: "Lord! That little emperor didn't receive this or give that one all day? He's in a discord! If the lord goes on like this, sooner or later someone... You can't help it! ”

"Hahahaha...!" , Cao Cao suddenly raised his head and laughed, his voice was rampant, and he stopped for a long time, got up and walked towards Xu Rong, Cao Cao patted him on the shoulder, and said seriously: "Liangmeng!" You have to remember! As long as those who are loyal to me do not betray me, so good! Sooner or later, those who are not loyal to me will be unfaithful to me! Well? ”

Xu Rong lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Cao Cao, and answered Cao Cao's question silently, he still stubbornly hoped that Cao Cao could come up with a countermeasure; Cao Cao smiled slightly: "No matter how the Son of Heaven tosses, he has always forgotten the root, in the troubled times!" - It is always strength that can be established! Power can be a fist, or an army, it is clear that he has not figured it out yet, and I have figured it out! As long as the military power is in hand and the butcher's knife is in hand..."

"Got it!" , Xu Rong bowed, and then strode away from Cao Cao's side, doing what he was supposed to do; After Xu Rong left, Cao Cao's face became gloomy, he didn't want to take care of it but he couldn't manage it at all, and he couldn't do anything about it before the situation stabilized, and all he could do at present was - endure!

Endure until he doesn't need to endure it anymore!

……

……

Cao Cao needed to think about too many things, Yuan Shao's invitation came, and the famous general Yuan Shao sent Cao Cao a famous "Yuan Family Letter", which roughly meant inviting him to attack Lu Bu's tiger together; Can Cao Cao agree? Of course not! He has always regarded Yuan Shao as his biggest opponent in his heart, Gongsun Chan is the guy who involves Yuan Shao to find time for himself, and Lu Bu is the same, how can he help Yuan Shao?

It is certain to refuse politely, although Cao Cao knew that Yuan Shao would definitely scold him angrily, but what could he do if he was so far away!

While Yuan Shao was angry, Cao Cao smiled very happily and unscrupulously, and in the end he was also very happy and sad! The two messages were like two sledgehammers that gave him two blows directly!

Liu Bei got Xuzhou without a single soldier! Shit! Cao Cao angrily pointed in the direction of Xuzhou and scolded a few times, and in the same way, Liu Bei couldn't hear it!

In the past, Cao Cao looked down on Liu Bei, just as Yuan Shao looked down on himself, and now he finally saw Liu Bei's extraordinary... and Ma Teng and Han Sui of Xiliang attacked Chang'an directly and unreasonably! You must know that this place has just been divided into his men, and it has not yet been warmed up!

While scolding the two bastards from the west, and cursing them to choke to death while eating, Cao Cao reluctantly pinned all his hopes on Li Yu, hoping that Li Yu would take care of everything; Although he felt that this was a little difficult in his heart, he still had a glimmer of hope... Si Li's area has just experienced the war, and the people's livelihood and political affairs have not been restored, and the most important thing is that he doesn't know if the military horses he left in Si Li are fortified.........

……

Just as Cao Cao thought, Li Yu had just spent a lot of energy to integrate Chang'an and even the Sili region, restore civil affairs and people's livelihood, and send military horses to sweep away the bandits and thieves that had just been derived, and when he saw that he could be completely pacified, Ma Teng and Han Sui came!

This is the most painful defeat Li Yu has ever suffered! If it weren't for the old general Cai Yang desperately saving him, I am afraid that he would die directly in Chang'an City!

After fleeing all the way to Tongguan, Li Yu stopped fleeing and fell to the ground exhausted: "Hahaha..."

"Captain Sili! Are you still in the mood to laugh? What are you laughing at? Cai Yang unceremoniously glared at Li Yu and called Li Yu's official name, indicating that the old general was very dissatisfied with Li Yu now; Cai Yang understands that it is unfair to put all the responsibility on Li Yu, every day Li Yu has to get up earlier than everyone, who is later than everyone, haggard arming, trial, instructions and documents... Thinking of this, Cai Yang silently helped Li Yu up, asked him to stand up straight, and bowed to the shrine: "It's our incompetence!" Can't help sir enough! ”

The reason why Ma Teng and Han Sui were able to capture Chang'an in one fell swoop was that the defense was not strict, and even the patrols were ignored by Li Yu because they were too busy, so they let their parents drive in, these may be blamed on Li Yu, let him be responsible, General Cai is a bright and straightforward martial artist, he will not do that!

"Tainyima is excited!" , Li Yu helped Cai Yang up, and said a headless word with a smile; "Sir... What are we going to do? Cai Yang asked, with a resolute expression, soldiers take it as their duty to protect their families and defend the country, and it is a shame to flee, so they have to wash it away! So... The way to wash it is to fight back!

The guard of Tongguan is Brother Hua Xiong, seeing Li Yu and Cai Yang's embarrassed appearance, he was speechless in shock, he really couldn't think of who Li Yu would lose!

"General Hua! Ma Teng and Han Sui attacked in a big way, and they had already broken through Chang'an, and I was defeated by them and escaped in embarrassment! That's not the point! Send this letter to the lord first! Then send a sentry to call back Cao Chun and the others who were outside the bandits! ", Li Yu took a sip of tea and said; Mr...", Brother Hua Xiong was a little nervous, he had always admired Li Yu, and the idol at this time seemed to have fallen from the altar, making him a little... Inexplicable sore spots..."What should we do?" ”

Under the instinctive reaction, Brother Hua Xiong still chose to believe in Li Yu's vision and asked for his opinion; Under the nervous and expectant gaze of Cai Yang and Brother Hua Xiong, Li Yu stood up: "Cold salad!" …”

"Kill them!" , Li Yu's eyes were cold, and he said to the two generals very seriously; "How to kill?" , the two also asked very seriously;
