Cao Cao discussed with Guo Jia and Lu Rui about entering Xiliang in the Sikong Mansion, and in the main hall of the Han Palace, Liu Xie was also summoning his confidant ministers to discuss state affairs.

"Ma Tengyan dares to slaughter Han officials without authorization?" Liu Xie took the bamboo slip in his hand and looked at Yang Biao tremblingly.

"Your Majesty, please forgive the minister, Your Majesty's bloody edict is the amulet of the Great Han!" Yang Biao bluntly pointed out the drawbacks of Liu Xieyi's bloody edict.

"Alas! Boss? I. Liu Xie shook his head and glanced at Yang Biao helplessly. Things developed just as Yang Biao predicted, and the bloody edict became the source of the princes' separation.

Originally, it was a good thing that Liu Xie regained the jade seal of the country, and the jade seal of the country was a symbol of the Son of Heaven, and Liu Xie also held a sharp weapon in his hand. But Liu Xie broke this sharp weapon with his own hands.

After Liu Xie issued the edict of clothes and blood, Cao Cao held Liu Xie in his hand, and he could serve the Son of Heaven to order not to be subordinate. The princes have a bloody edict, and they can crusade against the unsubordinate on a false holiday. In this way, there is no unified central government in the Han Dynasty, and any edict issued by Liu Xie, the princes everywhere can use Liu Xie's threat from Cao Cao to take out the edict of blood to resist the imperial court.

"Your Majesty, for the sake of today's plan, we can only unite with Cao Cao, let Cao Cao send troops to defeat the Xiliang army, and rebuild the Tianwei of the Han Dynasty."

"What do you mean, Boss?"

"Your Majesty, although the Xiliang army is huge, the Xiliang army is mainly cavalry, and it can gallop across the northwest plain, but it can't cross the danger of the Qinling Mountains and Hangu and fight against Cao Cao, after a long battle, the Xiliang army will retreat to Xiliang, which is not enough to pose a threat to Cao Cao."

"Well, the boss has a point."

"Unite with Cao Cao? Boss, didn't we give up all the power of the court to Cao Cao? Liu Xie was stunned for a moment. He also asked Cao Cao to send troops. Didn't it boost Cao Cao's momentum?

"Your Majesty. The so-called give first and then take, if Cao Cao fought in Xiliang for a long time and could not return to the court, or Cao Cao was defeated in Xiliang, it was our chance. Yang Biao smiled and glanced at Liu Xie.

"The boss wants to sell Cao Jun's intelligence to the Xiliang Army?" Liu Xie is not a stupid person, so he naturally quickly thought of Yang Biao's strategy.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

"But so, our sergeant?" Liu Xie was stunned for a moment. Although this strategy is good, Yanzhou's military strength will also be hit, especially the troops loyal to Liu Xie, and Cao Cao generally uses those troops as cannon fodder.

"Your Majesty, it is already obvious that Cao Cao has weakened His Majesty's strength, how can Your Majesty ruin a big thing for the lives of some soldiers? Even if they don't become our pawns today, they will be eradicated and divided by Cao Cao tomorrow. ”

"Your Majesty, please think twice!" Yang Biao knelt down.

"Good! This matter will be handed over to Lao Aiqing. Liu Xie quickly made up his mind that in order to regain power, anything could be sacrificed!

"Yes. The old minister retires! Yang Biao arched his hand and withdrew.

The next morning, it was upward. "Ladies and gentlemen. The traitors Han Sui and Ma Teng actually killed the officials of my Liangzhou, and I decided to send troops to fight against them. ”

"Cao Aiqing?"

"Your Majesty!" Cao Cao stood in the middle.

"Cao Aiqing, I decided that Cao Aiqing would lead the troops to quell the Xiliang rebellion, I don't know what objections everyone Aiqing has?" Liu Xie looked at the ministers below.

"Your Majesty seconded the proposal, Lord Sikong is the pillar of the country, and he will definitely be able to quell the rebellion in Xiliang."

"The minister also seconded it!" The officials who supported Liu Xie immediately stood up and supported Liu Xie.

"Cao Aiqing?"

"It is the duty of the subordinates to quell the chaos for the country, and the subordinates are willing to lead the troops to Xiliang." Cao Cao originally wanted to go to the table to ask for battle, but since Liu Xie took the initiative to propose it, Cao Cao had no reason to refuse.

"Cao Aiqing is loyal to the country, and he is really a model of the imperial court, and all Aiqing must ask Cao Aiqing for advice."

"Your Majesty praises falsely, and the ministers dare not be ashamed."

"Okay, come on, proclaim!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Soon Liu Gonggong read out a holy decree of reward, the main content of which was to reward Cao Cao and Sikong Mansion with a lot of money, and at the same time, the officials of Cao Cao's faction received a lot of rewards and official positions.

On the second day, outside the city of Xudu, Liu Xie took hundreds of civil and military officials to see Cao Cao off.

"Cao Aiqing, I will be sent here, Cao Aiqing should take care of herself, on the day of Aiqing's triumph, I will definitely welcome Aiqing here." Liu Xie grabbed Cao Cao's hand and sighed with emotion.

"The minister must live up to His Majesty's kindness, crusade against Xiliang, and return triumphantly!" Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, what kind of medicine does Liu Xie sell? Could it be that Liu Xie has figured it out? With doubts, Cao Cao rode on the claw Huang Feidian and set off with the army.

In the procession of the Cao army, Lu Rui was lying in a carriage, and as a scribe of the Cao army, he was equipped with a private carriage during the long march.

"An'er really gave me a problem!" Lu Rui pressed his temple, and An'er actually fell in love with Zhong Xuan! Although Zhong Xuan is a very good uncle of the Three Kingdoms, it is not Lu Rui who can seek marriage if he comes forward.

Zhong Xuan became famous at a young age and is a child of a family, so his status in Cao Ying may not be as good as Lu Rui, but his family strength is much stronger. Although Lu Rui is Cao Cao's adopted son, he has always been born in a small family in Yanzhou.

Cao Cao, as a family born as a eunuch, was even after becoming emperor later, he was also sick by everyone in the scholar clan and succumbed to your power, but he would look down on you in his heart.

If Zhong Xuan agrees to the marriage, forget it, after all, it is the era of male power, and as long as the man agrees, there will be no problem. But if Zhong Xuan refuses, then the problem will be difficult to handle, although the Cao family is very powerful, but this kind of thing cannot be forced, otherwise it will be too domineering and rude. At the beginning, Zhou Budo rejected Cao Cao's marriage, and Cao Cao had no choice, no matter how domineering the princes were, they couldn't marry and sell them.

Cao Cao can't do it, and Lu Rui can't use it strongly, so he can only outwit it. Thinking of this, Lu Rui suddenly thought of a way, hehe, Zhong Xuan, you can't blame me for using tricks!

After half a month's journey, Cao Cao's army finally arrived in Chang'an, and after Zhong Xuan took Wenwu to meet Cao Cao outside the door, Cao Cao asked Cao Chun to take the army to camp outside, and he entered Chang'an with his generals.

At the same time, in the Ma Teng military camp thirty miles outside Chang'an City, a mysterious messenger was ushered in.

"The villain sees General Ma!"

"Messenger, please get up, I don't know if Lord Yang is in good health recently?"

"Thank you General Ma for your concern, the head of the family is in good health."

"I wonder what the messenger is doing today?"

"This is a letter from the head of the family to the general, which contains the deployment of the Cao army, as well as the contact method and name of our spies in the Cao army, which will definitely help General Ma fight against Cao Cao."

"Oh? Present it to General Ben quickly! ”

"No!"

"Good! The messenger thanked Lord Yang for me, and he will definitely repay Lord Yang in the future. ”

"General Ma is polite, the villain is leaving!" (To be continued......)
