"This is the reality of the Chu army?"

Xu Ducheng, in the study room of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Cao Cao was holding Xiahou's military report again, and he couldn't help but tremble with his hands, and muttered to himself.

At the beginning, when Xiahou was shocked by the arrival of the military report in Pengcheng, Xuzhou, Cao Cao was still very calm. Because there is Xun Yu in the east and Cheng Yu is here, he believes that even if Yangzhou is taken away, the two of them will find a way to take it back.

He has been operating in Yangzhou for several years, while Kou Feng has only occupied a month, and his foothold is not stable. Playing at home, it's very cheap.

But after reading the current volume of military newspapers, Cao Cao's heart almost stopped being delusional. 200,000 troops. Even if he lifts the world away, I'm afraid it can only be a lose-lose situation.

What's more, it's just more than 100,000 troops in Xuzhou and Yanzhou, too few, too few.

Yangzhou, I'm afraid there is no hope in this life.

Thinking that the situation in this world will affect his layout with the expansion of Jing Chu Koufeng's power, and the situation is so sinister.

Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Yuzhou and other hinterlands of the Central Plains are all threatened by Kou Feng's soldiers.

Cao Cao felt that the cold was on his back, and he shuddered.

Even if he is as strong as Cao Cao all his life, he doesn't want such a character to rise up among his enemies.

"Today's plan is to protect Yanzhou, Xuzhou, and Yuzhou and operate Jizhou, Youzhou, Bingzhou, and Kenzhou. to Yanzhou

and other three states as the front line, with Jizhou, Youzhou, Bingzhou, and Qingzhou as the rear. Run the world. That's the best way to go. After a long time, Cao Cao took a breath, and his eyes gradually regained their sharpness.

Xu can't do it anymore, as the capital, but it is close to the front line, it doesn't work. People's hearts will also slowly float with Kou Feng's strength.

Now he has to retreat to Hebei.

First destroyed Gongbie Kang, Yuan Xi, Yuan Shang, Wuhuan and other forces, entrenched in Hebei, enough to establish a foundation for several generations.

Hebei has a unique geographical location. That is, it is a corner of peace, and it is very rich and abundant. Yuan Shao also entrenched himself in Hebei first, and then advanced into the Central Plains.

From this, you can get a glimpse of Hebei's advantages.

It's a pity that Yuan Shao is not talented, occupies a favorable geographical position, and has countless elites to help, but he is still defeated, defeated by his own stupidity.

"Retreat." After Cao Cao made up his mind in his heart, he no longer hesitated, and immediately got up and pulled out a blank scroll of bamboo slips and wrote it.

After retiring from the army, the two took Xiahou mourning and Xun Yu as a combination to guard Xuzhou and control the Xuzhou military.

With Lejin and Cheng Yu as a combination, the Yanzhou military was controlled.

With the power of Yuzhou, Yanzhou and Xuzhou, the three states resisted Jingchu, and operated the rear of Bingzhou, Jizhou, Youzhou, Kenzhou, etc., and established a number of foundations.

After giving the order, Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief.

Before I made up my mind, my heart was as heavy as a mountain. But once you make a decision, the pressure is gone, and you just have to move towards your goal.

Today, Kou Feng has entrenched in Jingchu and Yangzhou. The power has swelled to the limit. It should also delay the battle with me. will take advantage of the situation to annex the weak, just like Jiaozhou Shifan. Cangwu is too guarded by Wu Ju, Yizhou Liu Zhang and so on.

Intensify the merger of the weak, and strengthen itself. Lay the foundation for the two countries to compete for power in the future.

The old man has to step up, too.

After ordering someone to send the paperwork out, Cao Cao sat alone. His demeanor was extremely solemn.

Kou Feng wants to annex the weak, and Zhuang Dajun has a few bodies, and he is the same, he wants to attack Liaodong and the grassland. Attack Yongzhou, Liangzhou.

Cao Cao knew that others could be solved one by one. But only Kou Feng is the great enemy of the world.

It will be inevitable for the two countries to compete for power.

Sitting alone in the study for a while, Cao Cao groaned. ordered the guards to bring Chen Qun and Jia Xu over.

Today's strategy has been set. Then it's time to execute. Chen Qun, Jia Xu is a confidant, and Cao Cao has to discuss some things with them.

Originally, Cao Cao also planned to find Xun or. But Xun or this person is a little old-fashioned, and he is a person who is more attached to the Han family. What he has to do next is probably to encounter Xun Or's disgust.

So I gave up.

"Prime Minister." Jia Xu and Chen Qun are both Qing noble officials, and their official residences are also very close, so they came soon. Almost before and after, after entering the door together, they greeted Cao Cao.

"Two gentlemen are exempt." Cao Cao said with a pleasant face.

Jia Xu, Chen Qun was not pretentious, bowed again, and sat on both sides of Cao Cao.

The study room was spacious, more than enough for three people to sit.

"This is the military report of Xiahou Mourning in front, you can also take a look." In the room, there were no attendants, Cao Cao handed over the bamboo slips and said.

Chen Qun and Jia Xu glanced at each other, Chen Qun got up, took the bamboo slip, looked at it, and then handed it to Jia Xu.

After Jia Xu finished reading it, the faces of the two were extremely solemn.

"The prime minister runs the world, and Dukou sits big, but what's wrong." Chen Qun sighed and said.

"This man is not to be removed quickly." Jia Xu also shook his head and said.

"Lone summoned the two gentlemen here for this purpose. Do you think that if you are alone at this time, ascend to the position of the Duke of Wei and establish the Wei State. How about setting the capital in Yecheng? Cao Cao asked. Wei.

Cao Cao's business rear was not to move the capital of the Son of Heaven to Yecheng, but to establish his own kingdom. Wei. To be built in Hebei.

As for the placement of Liu Xie, the Son of Heaven, let's continue to stay in Xudu.

For example, if there has been turmoil for many years, in fact, the role of Liu Xie, the son of heaven, is very small. It's already dispensable.

"In recent years, most prime ministers have been defeated by Kou Feng, but the work of pacifying the north in the early years still exists. Now if you are not king, why not? Jia Xu asked rhetorically.

Jia Xu is a rare wise man in the world, and his words are enough to play a role in Cao Cao's heart. Seeing that Jia Xu did not retort, Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction.

"It's enough to work, but I'm afraid that the family will not accept it." Chen Qun said a little worriedly.

"If you don't accept it, let them disobey, anyway, this Wei country is alone." Cao Cao didn't care.

Cao Cao reused the Hanmen and had many contradictions with the scholars. However, the scholars were resentful, but they had to join Cao Cao, and they had gained status and wealth.

This is almost completely different from the fact that other powers rely on the nobles as a stable foundation. [on the occasion of wings spread]

Cao Cao has the domineering, courage, and environment of the scholars.

Chen Qun hesitated a little, but finally nodded and stopped talking.

At present, Cao Cao is the only one in charge of the world. Jia Xu and Chen Qun are just staff members. Now that Prime Minister Cao Cao has decided, this matter is nailed to the iron plate.

The next morning, it was the morning meeting.

It was only early dawn, but the civil and military officials led by Prime Minister Cao Cao had already gathered outside the palace. On this day, Cao Cao's momentum seems to be particularly sufficient.

The eyes are sharp, and the sparkle is very majestic.

Whoever he sees is submissive.

Something big must be happening today. In the hearts of many people, they couldn't help but speculate. The state of Wei was established. I will be Wei Yuanxun.

Although Chen Qun opposed Cao Cao's ascension to the public throne yesterday, it was not that he did not support Cao Cao, but he was just worried. In my heart, I am still very happy that Cao Cao has ascended to the throne.

After all, if he is Wei Chen, he is the founding father. Leave your name in the annals of history.

Jia Xu's expression was a little calmer, he had experienced countless ups and downs in his life, and he was not very excited about this so-called founding father.

It's a plan that everyone is speculating. There were guards inside who opened the palace gate and welcomed the hundred officials in.

Under Cao Cao's majesty, the hundred officials did not dare to guess anymore, and entered the palace in turn, and went straight to the main hall.

After entering the main hall, Cao Cao was naturally in the front seat.

After the hundred officials sat down one after another, in the sound of the eunuchs, Liu Xie, the son of heaven, walked out in a crown robe.

Liu Xiegui is the Son of Heaven, but he is not a puppet. Although there are occasional pleasant colors, such as when Kou Feng defeated Cao Cao. But most of them are in the midst of depression, and the same is true at the moment, basically expressionless.

"Do you have a book to play?" After Liu Xie sat down, he asked.

When the officials heard this, they all turned their eyes to Cao Cao in front of them.

"Your Majesty, please give the credit to Prime Minister Cao Gong to set the cause of chaos." Chen Qun came out of the ranks and came to the dog hall and bowed.

"Since Dong Zhuo's rebellion, the world has been in turmoil. The princes all had different hearts. The Son of Heaven ordered that he should not leave the capital. Only Prime Minister Cao Gong led the crowd to greet the Son of Heaven and assisted the Son of Heaven to calm the trouble. Now the north is peaceful. This prime minister's merit is also, and the minister asks the Son of Heaven to record the prime minister's work before and after, and he should be crowned in Wei. Although Chen Qun spoke without leaving the recital, he was very threatening.

Even the title of Wei has been decided by himself, what is it if it is not coercion?

Liu Xie, the son of heaven, was expressionless, but this time it was a burst of green muscles. Wei, Wei. Even the country name Han has begun to be replaced?

Liu Xie is the Son of Heaven, and Cao Cao's move is tantamount to forcibly seizing his family and country.

Of course he felt the anger, but what about the anger? Liu Xie thought decadently in his heart, sooner or later there will be such a day, sooner or later there will be such a day.

Yes, since Liu Xie felt Cao Cao's coercion, he knew that there would be such a day, it was just a matter of time.

Liu Xie first raised his head and glanced at the nominal Hanchen above the hall. But no one dared to stand up and protect his left and right.

"Lord Chen." But at this time, Xun Or planned to speak. However, he was pulled by Jia Xu beside him. And the eyes are sharp, full of the meaning of letting Xun or not say more.

Xun Xi opened his mouth, but finally didn't say anything.

Cao Cao was right, Lao or indeed attached to the Han family. But he himself is from a big family, and he has many concerns, so he really can't be a lonely minister.

Xun lowered his head guiltily.

Originally, Liu Xie was secretly happy when he saw Xun or speak. But seeing that Xun Yan suddenly lowered his head, he was even more desperate.

I can't help but have an urge to break the jar and break it.

"The prime minister's merit lies in the community. Sealed in Wei, it really deserves it. Liu Xie said stiffly, and then ordered: "The edict sealed Prime Minister Cao Cao as the Duke of Wei, and his people were 30,000 households."

The capital is in Ye. He is the head of the princes of the Han family. After finishing speaking, Liu Xie didn't say a word and walked away.

However, the ministers can no longer control Liu Xie.

Cao Cao sealed Wei and established the Wei state. Such a major event has already made the ministers surging.

One by one, they have long forgotten to be Hanchen, and they are proud of Weichen.

In the fifteenth year of Jian'an, the edict of the Son of Heaven, Cao Cao was the Duke of Wei, and there were 30,000 households in the city, and the capital was in Ye.

A month later, Cao Cao established the Wei State in Yecheng, set up a hundred officials, and awarded Xiahou Yuan and other henchmen the title of Wei State. (To be continued.)
