Chapter 291: Cao Cheng tried his heart

After the conquest of Xuzhou was successful, Cao Cao intensively prepared for Yuan Shao, summoned all the elite troops to reorganize the battle, and built sharp armor weapons, which should be, Cao Cao expected that if Yuan Shao attacked him in the future, he would definitely go straight to Xuchang, and the nearest plain area to Xuchang, Guandu, Yanjin line is particularly important; Cao Cao sent the newly surrendered chariot to lead the overseers to build a strong camp for later use, and at the same time ordered Yu Ban to be the leader and send people to move the people in that area along the Yellow River to Chenliu County for a generation, so that they would not be affected by the war in the future; From this point of view, Li Yu undoubtedly influenced Cao Cao, and it can even be said that he fundamentally changed him, at least he did not do anything to slaughter the city at every turn, and despised the lives of ordinary people, and now Cao Cao attaches great importance to the issue of population development, and he has realized that only enough people will have enough troops to conquer the world!

It can be said that Cao Cao did a lot of things for the war with Yuan Shao, and even his own affairs were changed, such as he forcefully abolished the official system without a prime minister in the old Han system, and became a prime minister despite the opposition of many people; The Son of Heaven wanted to crown Cao Cao as prime minister before, but Cao Cao didn't agree, and now he almost grabbed this official position, in order not to be pressed by Yuan Shao in terms of identity, maybe this is also his inferiority complex! You must know that Brother Yuan Shao's influence on Cao Cao is not shallow!

This is not the end, in order to test whether these people are his own gang or the emperor of the Son of Heaven, Cao Cao came up with another way!

In the court, Cao Cao, the new prime minister, bowed and saluted, and he was now authorized to: sword shoes to the palace, praise and worship: "Your Majesty!" The minister wants to ask His Majesty to go hunting with the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs! ”

Liu Xie was surprised in his heart, and his eyes rolled: "Isn't hunting okay?" This is not the right way! ”

The so-called policy on the top, countermeasures on the bottom, this sentence may not be appropriate, but Cao Cao has long thought of the resignation of the Son of Heaven Liu Association, can he not be prepared? "The ancient emperor, searching for summer seedlings in spring, hunting in autumn and winter: going out to the suburbs at four o'clock to show his martial arts in the world. Today, when the four seas are disturbed, we should use the field to hunt and talk about martial arts to show the power of heaven! ”

Cao Cao's crooked and heretical statement, Liu Xie was helpless for a while, so he had to choose a white horse, carry a treasure carving bow and gold arrows, and go out of the city under Cao Cao's arrangement! Run to the place of hunting, that is, the place where the tuntian is harvested; Cao Cao led 30,000 troops and horses to lead his henchmen and generals such as Guo Jia, Jia Xu and others to follow Liu Xie all the way, hugging each other from front to back, and his style was very great, even surpassing Liu Xie, the son of heaven!

When it was time to hunt, a sika deer jumped out of it by chance, running around, obviously frightened, Liu Xie opened the bow and arrow and missed three arrows in a row, he has been pampered for too long, it is estimated that he took a bow and arrow when he was a child, so many years have passed, I have long forgotten how to shoot with a bow, how to shoot it?

Liu Xiedao: "Prime Minister! Here you go! I missed! ”

Cao Cao smiled, sounding a little ill-intentioned: "Lu Tonglu characters!" My bow and arrow killing aura is too heavy, I'm afraid it's not suitable! The best ones are His Majesty's treasure carving bow and golden arrows! The minister dared to borrow it! ”

Liu Xie didn't understand what he meant, and he didn't shirk it, and directly handed the treasure carving bow and golden arrow to Cao Cao, Cao Cao took the bow and arrow, and an arrow hit the back of the sika deer, and the sika deer fell in response, and the people around him applauded, and it was nothing; The important thing is that the soldier saw the flashing golden arrow, thought it was shot by Liu Xie, and shouted: "Hurray!" Banzai! Hooray"

Cao Cao looked proud, he looked around with his head, Liu Xie's face turned pale, this Cao Cao is really treacherous and abnormal, and trivial things can make him play with flowers! It's so damning!

Cao Cao's move was indeed excessive, but it was also the most direct and effective way, he wanted to see how many people still had the shadow of the Han Dynasty in their hearts, and how many people were still loyal to this ruined dynasty! How many people are going to be killed! How many people are trustworthy!

This itself is a bureau, a tentative bureau, Xu Tian is the periphery of Xuchang by Li Yu presided over the reclamation of the tuntian, after the autumn harvest here is only wheat straw or something, maybe some rabbits and other small animals, where do the sika deer come from? This sika deer was put by himself!

Dian Wei caught him from the mountains! And put it on! Only Dian Wei and him know about this matter! Dian Wei, this is the henchman of the henchmen!

And the result of the temptation made Cao Cao's heart even more shocking! Less than one-tenth of the Manchu civil and military forces can stand on his side! The radical Kong Rong has already begun to scold! And impeach him! Speaking of Kong Rong, the old man has to say that he is a real loyal minister of the Han Dynasty; He ceded the Beihai of Qingzhou to Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao had great respect for him and took him to Yecheng, which was simply in the palm of his hand, but since Sikong Zhao Wen was killed by Li Yu, there are too few people around the Son of Heaven, and there are too few people who are famous enough; Therefore, Liu Xie issued a lot of conscription orders, almost all of them were sunk in the sea, only a few people came from thousands of miles to help him, including Kong Rong, a great Confucian, knowing that this was a moth to the fire, he still pounced, no matter how Yuan Shao kept him, he was still very loyal to the Han Dynasty!

This was all expected by Cao Cao, and someone would definitely scold him as a "traitor", but what he never expected was that Xun Yu would also show a sad expression, what does this mean? This shows that Xun Yu and him are not of the same mind! The two of them have gone further and further on the fork in the road!

"I trust you so much!" , Cao Cao kept roaring in his heart, but there was no expression on his face, he wanted to find someone to talk to, but found that the only person who could talk about everything had already gone north and fought in the state!

After taking a few deep breaths in a row, Cao Cao slowly calmed down his mood, unfolded the bamboo slips on the desk, sharpened the ink, held the pen, and wrote down one name after another, sometimes thinking and sometimes hesitating, it didn't take long for the dense names to be covered with bamboo slips, and a big "kill!" was written under the bamboo slips! "Word!

Cao Cao moved to kill! Liu Xie also moved to kill! In the past, no matter how Cao Cao dealt with him, he did not directly challenge his majesty as the Son of Heaven, but this time Cao Cao touched the most vestigial dignity that Liu Xie now has! The dignity of the emperor!

Afraid that the matter would be discovered by Cao Cao, Liu Xie wrote a secret edict on his belt and blood, and the secret edict to Hebei General Yuan Shao to raise troops to fight for thieves! Secret edict Jingzhou Liu Biao raised troops to fight for thieves! Feng Jiangdong Sun Ce is the Marquis of Wuhuan and comes to beg for thieves! Liu Zhang, a secret edict from Yizhou, came to beg for a thief! Even Ma Teng and Han Sui in the northwest were written on it! It can be seen that Liu Xie's hatred!

He is now writing this secret edict with the mentality of sowing seeds, no matter what these people think, even if they use this secret edict as an excuse to seize Cao Cao's interests, he doesn't care! He just wants Cao Cao to die!

At the same time, he also ordered the cavalry generals Dong Cheng and Dong Guozhang to find a way to get rid of Cao Cao within a certain period of time, forming an echo with the outside

However, is Cao Cao that simple a person? He was just waiting for Liu Xie to make a move, as long as he took the next move, then he could use this as an excuse to wipe out all the people whose names he had written! Forever rid of future troubles!
