Cao Ying is not only a martial artist, but also a master of the world. After a splash of ink, a letter was written. After Cao Ying took a closer look, he felt that there was no problem, so he beckoned Jia Xu and Guo Jia to take a closer look.

After Jia Xu and Guo Jia finished watching, the two made eye contact for a short time, and finally Guo Jia spoke: "Lord, will Liu Bei stop fighting for the time being?" There was a rare uncertainty between the words.

"Fengxiao, you don't know, Liu Da'er, although there are some hypocrisy and hypocrisy in Ping, but when it comes to caring about the common people in the world and the well-being of all the people, it is true. Now I write a book with him, saying that in recent years, the Xianbei Xiongnu have repeatedly violated the border of the Han Dynasty, and the Yuan family is incompetent and cannot keep the peace of the northern frontier, so I will personally lead the army to conquer. For the sake of the common people of the Han Dynasty, as long as I am still in the north within three years, I will not attack the land of Yanzhou and mess with my position. Liu Bei is already unable to go north due to the Jiangdong Rebellion, so he will inevitably agree to such a favor. Cao Ying smiled.

"Having said that, the lord also needs to make a big deal of this matter to prevent this Liu Daer from pretending to be deaf and dumb." Guo Jia thought for a while.

"That's right." Cao Ying nodded. At this time, Jia Xu opened his mouth and said: "It is a good thing to knock on the Huns, Xianbei, but after the war of our army, the money and grain are seriously depleted, how can we raise soldiers again?" ”

"In the grassland campaign, the foot soldiers have little effect. I only led tens of thousands of Tiger Guards and cavalry, and the army stayed in the Central Plains to train with the Hebei army. If not, invite Xiliang Ma Teng Han to attack it again. Cao Ying replied. looked at Jia Xu and Guo Jia in front of him, the latter has always been in poor health, but Jia Xu, who was born in Xiliang, is thin but not weak, and his body is very good. At that moment, Cao Ying said again: "The Hu people are rarely resourceful, and it is enough to have literature and follow me to participate in the military." Fengxiao, you and Wen Ruo stayed in Yecheng, and they should seize the time of these two or three years to build Hebei well. The Yuan family has always focused on the people, and the people's livelihood in Hebei has withered, and this matter is also a top priority! ”

"The minister understands!" Guo Jia and Jia Xu responded at the same time. At that moment, Cao Ying summoned all the generals and announced that he would lead the army to the north to attack the Xiongnu and Xianbei, who had become more and more unstable over the years.

"Why did the prime minister send troops to Saibei at this time? It must be known that Liu Bei is eyeing Yanzhou, and he can't be ignored! Liu Ye was the first to oppose it with a clear banner.

"Alas!" Cao Ying suddenly sighed, looked up at everyone and said, "Do you know Cao's life aspirations?" ”

"I don't know." This time, everyone spoke in unison. Cao Ying has never been the kind of person who likes to tell others about his life ambitions, not to mention that everyone really can't think of why Cao Ying asked this question at this time.

"What I wish in the past is that a hundred years later, the tombstone will be engraved with the tomb of Cao Ying, the general of the late Han Dynasty. Now I am the prime minister, a very popular minister, and I have fought all over the world in my life, sweeping away the heroes and being unstoppable. However, it is really not what I want for these princes to fight, and now I can open up territory for the Han Dynasty and deter foreign races, which is really a long-cherished wish to fulfill the old days! Cao Ying said with a little emotion.

Silence, absolute silence, everyone was shocked by Cao Ying's ambition. After a while, Cao Hong was the first to speak: "The lord has this ambition, and Hong is willing to follow the lord to the north and destroy the Huns and Xianbei." ”

"The lord's words are not bad, but now Liu Bei is in the south, eyeing the tiger, the lord leaves Hebei lightly, in case Liu Bei comes to attack, wouldn't it be a big deal for us to wait for no one to sit in the town?" Liu Ye thought about it a lot, and after thinking about it, he first raised a more realistic question.

"I have written a book Liu Bei Xiao to gain benefits, and with his knowledge, I will not do such a restrictive thing. At the same time, the resurgence of the Sun family, Liu Bei also needs to consolidate Jiangnan, and he is temporarily unable to go north. Cao Ying smiled. After looking at the generals under the account, Cao Ying began to count people: "Gongming has been in Xiliang for a long time and is familiar with border affairs, so this time he will march with me to Saibei." This time, he only took more than 30,000 tigers and leopards and tiger guards, Zhongkang, Zihe, and Miaocai walked with me, Wen He accompanied the army to participate in the military, and Wen Ruo sat in the Central Plains and Hebei, and all affairs were decided by him. ”

"Yes!" The generals responded with a bang. At this time, Yuan Shang, who was accompanied by the prime minister, rolled his eyes and said: "I don't want the prime minister to have such grand ambitions, and I am deeply admired." Tonight, we will hold a banquet in the mansion to make a grand march for the prime minister and all the soldiers who went out to fight! ”

"The virtuous nephew is full of fists, and he will come." Cao Ying looked at Yuan Shangdao with a smile, and then Cao Ying explained a little other thing, and everyone dispersed.

"Prime Minister, there has been no good banquet since ancient times, and Yuan Shangxiao'er's move is probably ill-intentioned!" As soon as the meeting ended, Cheng Yu whispered to Cao Ying.

"What Zhong De said is true. But Yuan Shao, I'm not afraid, why am I afraid of Yuan Shang, a yellow-mouthed child? Cao Ying sneered, his tone full of murder and confidence.

In the evening, Cao Ying was wearing a brocade robe, no armor, only with Tongdianwei and dozens of guards, Shi Shiran came to Yuan Shang's general's mansion, and Yuan Shang was already waiting at the gate. "Prime Minister, please!" Yuan Shang saw that Cao Ying only brought such a few people, and he was secretly happy in his heart, and his face was indeed impassive.

"The virtuous nephew is too polite!" Cao Ying smiled and entered the mansion hand in hand with Yuan Shang. After a short time, Xu Huang and others arrived one after another, and Yuan Shang invited Fengji and Xinbi to accompany them, and there were not a few people for a while.

"The prime minister went north to conquer the Huns, and the four-hundred-year-old Han was only comparable to Huo Hussar (Huo Quai). Not yet talented, can not fight with the prime minister, today is full of this cup, I wish the prime minister to play a triumphant song in the morning, and return victorious! After Yuan Shang said this, he picked up the wine bottle on the table and drank it all. Cao Ying let out a long laugh, but spilled the wine in the cup on the ground.

"Whew!" The wine was sprinkled on the ground covered with green bricks, and it was sneering and smoking, and everyone at the banquet was well-informed, knowing that this wine must be poisonous, and they were suddenly shocked.

Yuan Shang was stunned for a moment when he saw this, and then laughed wildly and said: "I didn't expect the prime minister to see that the wine was poisonous, but it's a pity that you knew it too late." Left and right, take it with me! After speaking, he threw the wine bottle in his hand on the ground.

"Hulala" sounded in a row, hundreds of heavily armed guards poured into the hall with swords in hand, and the guards behind Yuan Shang also drew their swords, Xu Huang and the others were shocked, and hurriedly protected Cao Ying in it. Cao Ying's expression remained unchanged, and he even asked with a hint of a smile: "What does this mean by the virtuous nephew?" ”

"Prime Minister, thank you for clearing my eldest brother for me. Now that he has been forced back to Youzhou, he won't bother with the prime minister. The father used to be commensurate with the prime minister's brother, and now he is specially sent to the prime minister to see the old man! Yuan Shang looked at Cao Ying, who was surrounded in the core, and said proudly.

"Alas!" Cao Ying sighed suddenly, and then said in a tone of nostalgia: "Brother Benchu, how can your sons not succeed." Cao Mou Kuang has worked hard to help the Han family, but he still has to help you discipline your son, if you don't want to be a brother, then you still need to take care of your own family affairs, do it! ”

As soon as the word "do it" was finished, the hundreds of samurai immediately launched. The target is not Cao Ying, but Yuan Shang. The latter was frightened and wanted to engage in battle, but there were only a dozen guards around him, and he was killed cleanly in a short time. Yuan Shang himself was also pushed to the ground, with two steel knives around his neck.

"How so?" The sudden chaos caught Yuan Shang off guard, and when he looked up, he saw Xin Bi and Feng Ji calmly leaving the table, and went to Cao Ying and said, "Lord! ”

"What the two gentlemen said is not bad, Yuan Shang really has different intentions!" Cao Ying stroked his beard and smiled. Yuan Shang immediately understood what was going on when he saw this posture, and roared angrily: "Xinbi, Fengji, I, Yuan Shang, have never treated you badly, why do you want to betray me?" ”

"The third son, good birds choose trees to perch, this ancient common sense is also!" Simbi laughed. Yuan Shang was about to scold, and Cao Ying had already said in a deep voice: "I have a brotherly relationship with the original, and now I can't bear to be a virtuous nephew with a knife and axe, come and pull him down and hang him!" Immediately, several people came up and dragged away Yuan Shang, who was drinking and scolding, but did not mention it. At the same time, Cao Ying ordered people to arrest Yuan Shang's party and be sure to uproot his forces.

A few days later, the Xuchang court suddenly promulgated two holy decrees, Prime Minister Cao Ying, Taiwei Liu Bei virtue spread in the world, the merit lies in Sheji, Jin Te Jia was named the Duke of Wei, the Duke of Qi, and received Jiuxi. The ten counties of Kaiji Prefecture are the Principality of Wei, and the six counties of Xuzhou are the Principality of Qi.

When the news came out, there was an uproar among the people. It must be known that in the 400 years of the Han Dynasty, unless they are close relatives of the emperor, there are very few people who can be crowned as the prince of the country. Even if it is feuded, the fief is only a county. Now one is two, plus the previous Duke of Shu Liu Zhang, three of them have been sealed in less than a year, and they are all a state to establish a principality, why is the title of the Han Dynasty so worthless? Of course, the onlookers were surprised, but the two envoys didn't care about this, and meticulously left Xuchang and went to Hebei and Shouchun respectively.

"Heavenly grace is mighty, and Liu Bei is grateful!" In Shouchun's Taiwei Mansion, Liu Bei led a group of civil and military officers to kneel on the ground to receive orders, and his tone, which had always been calm, couldn't help but tremble a little. After the envoy finished announcing the decree, Liu Bei set up a banquet and did not mention it.

"Ladies and gentlemen, why do you think the Holy One wants to crown me as the prince of the country?" After the banquet dispersed, Liu Bei hurriedly summoned Lu Su and the others and asked. Although he knew that Cao Ying was playing tricks, Liu Bei still counted this generous gift on the emperor's head.

Not to mention that Liu Bei couldn't react a little, Lu Su and these people were also quite surprised. You must know that the prince of this country is the king above and then the emperor. Cao Ying is so loving, people who don't know him still think he is Liu Bei's brother.

"I think it's Cao Ying who wants to be the prince of the country, but I'm afraid that too many people will oppose it, so I will bring the lord with me." For a long time, Lu Su was still a little uncertain. Everyone has been together for a long time, and I feel that there is no other reason that is too reliable.

However, not long after the envoy left Shouchun, a rumor suddenly spread all over the country, claiming that Cao Ying, the Duke of Wei, was about to lead an army to fight against the Xiongnu and Karasuma and other foreign races. During this period, Liu Bei, the Duke of Qi, adhered to the great righteousness and would stop the war with Cao Ying. For a while, all the eyes of the world were focused on Liu Bei, the freshly baked Duke of Qi. At the same time, Cao Ying's handwritten letter also arrived in Shouchun.
