The relocation order from the imperial court had just been read out from Puyang, which instantly caused an uproar.

The ears and eyes are sensitive, and the spies and eyes of the princes from all walks of life in Yanzhou, slow or fast, began to send back messages to the organization, and the imperial court wanted to take Cao Mengde as the pastor of Yizhou, and the evil intentions contained in the relocation of any one were clearly and clearly circulated from Yanzhou.

Some things can't be stopped at all, not to mention, Cao Cao didn't want to keep it secret at all, the angel who announced the decree was served with good food and drink for two or three days before leaving, these days, the big and small banquets were paid for by the Yanzhou Thorn Mansion, in order to show Cao Cao's attention to the representative of the Son of Heaven, no matter whether Yuan Shang or others were standing behind this person, Cao Cao should be treated politely, in terms of etiquette, it is naturally needless to say, he came to death and returned with pleasure, which is the mentality of the little eunuch.

"Send Li Neishou back to Beijing."

Cao Cao, as the emperor of Yanzhou, personally went to the palace to send this little eunuch who was not a big man, and attached so much importance to it, not only was Wen Wu surprised, but also the princes were extremely puzzled by the eyeliner placed in Chen Liu.

It stands to reason that such things related to his own interests, even if Cao Cao did not kill angrily in order to take into account the color of the imperial court, from the three-day stay of the eunuch, and today's happy departure, Cao Cao seems to be as if outsiders interpret it, and will angrily lead troops to Chang'an, or let the envoy eat a closed door.

Standing in front of the Yamen of Puyang Mansion, Cao Cao stood up alone, hot in summer, still wearing that set of Han family uniforms, sturdy and short in size, under the backdrop of Dian Wei Xu Chu, he was not tall in the first place, but looked like a child.

"Let's go"

Cao Cao waved his hand. He reached out and stroked the short beard on his chin. The first to enter the house. Several cronies, generals and strategists followed closely behind.

In the spacious hall, Cao Cao sat cross-legged, Cao Ren Xiahou Yuan and other seven or eight military generals, Xun Yu's two uncles and nephews, Cheng Yu and the recently newly invested Chen Qun sat left and right, everyone looked at Cao Cao with slightly blind eyes above, breathing slowly, and the silence was a little long.

It wasn't until everyone's necks were a little sore that Cao Cao opened his eyes. The narrow eyes flashed with a glimmer of light, like a resting lion suddenly opening its eyes, and the sharp light made people feel frightened.

This is Cao Cao, a peerless hero, this late Eastern Han Dynasty, who can compare with this person, there are definitely not many, if there is no Yuan Shang, the butterfly of the troubled history flapping its wings, he is at this moment. Already the most powerful princes of the North, just. With Yuan Shang's control of Hebei, the situation in Yanzhou is not optimistic, even if Yuzhou and Qingzhou are annexed, it is impossible to form a successful containment of Yuan Shang, but Yuan Shang in these five years, not only swallowed Yongzhou without blood, but also cut most of the land in Jizhou from Yuan Tan's hands, although there is no large-scale use of troops, the scope of power is gradually expanding, but he, although he occupies a hinterland of the Central Plains, but is surrounded by enemies, fists and feet can not be used, so the power does not show a blowout development, and his neighbor Liu Bei has also been very ambiguous with Jingzhou recently, all of which really made him a little uneasy.

"Tell me how we can take the next step."

Cao Cao's eyes swept over the dozen or so people sitting below, except for Chen Qun, the others were all henchmen who had followed him for several years, only Guo Jia, who had worsened his illness, was not present, and the rest were either unqualified, or guarded the counties of Yanzhou, and there were only a dozen people who stayed in Puyang, and they were all called over by Cao Cao in one breath, the purpose of which was to discuss the direction and strategy that Yanzhou should go next.

"The imperial court's move, or Yuan Shang, who controls the power of the court, really has bad intentions, although Yizhou is good, it is not the old base of our army, if it is lightly moved, I am afraid it will hinder the morale of the army." Xun Yu stroked the beautiful beard that hung down to his chest, shook his head and said.

"That's not the worst thing"

Nephew Xun Yu followed Xun Yu's words: "Although Liu Zhang in Yizhou is weak, he is not useless, at least, people with this temperament are ruthless, more ruthless than anyone else, and the matter of ordering the killing of Zhang Lu's mother and wife back then is widely spread in Yizhou, and he took 10,000 steps back and said, even if Liu Zhang does not have the courage to fight with the lord, the group of Yizhou scholars and Dongzhou generals who have always been together are also difficult to gnaw bones." ”

Cao Cao nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Go on." ”

Xun You had obviously thought about it, so he did not hesitate to say: "If these are unavoidable things that the lord can't avoid in destroying Yizhou, Yuan Shang's thoughts, as well as the thoughts of other princes, are the biggest variables for our army to enter Shu. ”

Xun Yu Chengyu and Chen Qun in the hall all nodded in approval, Xun Yu is the youngest among the people in the hall, but the suggestions he has always put forward and the established strategy are quite old-fashioned, and the points he pointed out are indeed the biggest obstacle to Cao Cao's entry into Shu.

"In this way, since the lord has taken over the decree, the attitude towards the angels for a few days in a row is also obvious to all, on the surface, I must not worry about which family is making irresponsible remarks, and when the time for the relocation is approaching, it is just a matter of refusing to enter Shu directly."

Xiahou Yuan interjected, in his opinion, there is no need to be so entangled in this matter, everyone can see that Yuan Shang must have bad intentions, in the face of this risk of making wedding dresses for others, Cao Jun has no need to take risks, although Yizhou is good, but under the premise of not being able to guarantee the stability of Yanzhou, everything is a floating cloud, and the sense of reality that cannot be grasped in his hands is really too light for them.

Cao Ren, Cao Zhen, Cao Hongxia, Hou Tun, Lejin, Yu Ban, Li Dian and other generals nodded, which is also the opinion of most of the generals under Cao Cao, compared to the civil official group with meandering minds, most of the generals of the Cao army are not optimistic about entering Shu.

"Nope"

Cao Cao shook his head and said: "Right now, although you and I both know that Yuan Shang is the emperor behind the Chang'an regime, but, even so, as long as His Majesty is still in Yuan Shang's hands, this person is holding a sword in one hand and a righteous person in the other, and sending a decree with the order of His Majesty, we must respect the assassin history who is nominally a courtier, this is the premise, unless there is no choice but to tear his face, otherwise, no matter how he can pierce it." ”

"The lord is right"

Cheng Yu also spoke: "Yuan Shang's sinister heart can be seen, maybe he still wishes that the lord will not respect the will, then Shilin's view of the lord will definitely be deviated, the people's hearts are not oriented, for the lord, it is more serious than losing the entire Yanzhou, not to mention, why Liu Bei's weaving mat seller can be invited into Xuzhou, in addition to Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu's plan, this person's excellent reputation is also one of the factors that cannot be ignored, from the perspective of his subordinates, the reason why Yuan Shang dared to issue the decree so unscrupulously, I'm afraid I've already thought of a countermeasure and waited for the lord to jump down, don't let Yuan Shang catch the handle. ”

"However, if you obey the edict of the imperial court and set a precedent, won't the assassins of the states in the future be at the mercy of Yuan Shang?"

The general with the surname Ban shook his head, even if Cao Cao really gnawed down Yizhou, but it opened the precursor of the relocation, in the future, Yuan Shang will have a reason to point fingers at the history of the state, there is one and there are two, in the future, Yuan Shang will have a bad intention, and Cao Cao will be relocated to the barren land of Jiaozhou, at that time, Cao Cao will have no place to say even if he is suffering.

"Wen Ze is right, this matter must not be a precedent." The silent Cao Ren also opened his mouth, no matter what, the general's thoughts are still relatively unified.

Cao Cao, who was sitting on the main seat, thought about it, this matter is indeed tricky, the opposition of Xiahou Yuan and Yu Ban Cao Ren is indeed not without reason, and if the resistance is not respectful, what Cheng Yu and Xun's uncle and nephew said is also something that Cao Cao can not ignore, what Yuan Shang thinks, he probably has a guess, as for Yuan Shang's back hand, and the countermeasure, it is Cao Cao who is most afraid of, for this unknown and unconfident feeling, Cao Cao has a headache or a headache.

"My subordinates have a plan, which is not clever, but it can also solve urgent needs." Xun Yu got up and said.

"Wen Ruo and come together." Cao Cao responded.

Xun Yu nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Since we don't know Yuan Shang's back hand for the time being, but I can't give Yuan Shang a handle to grasp on the bright side, then I can only make two preparations, one is that the lord enters Shu as usual, however, the speed can be slowed down, Yanzhou into Shu also has a long way to go, there is enough time for the lord to travel the mountains and rivers, and the other is during this period, Lu Qian can't be idle, immediately order the spies to enter Shu first, no matter how much it costs, we must encourage the Yizhou scholars to oppose the lord into Shu, At that time, our army will injure one or two innocuous small battles at will, casually falsely report the number of casualties, and slowly retreat to Yanzhou. ”

"That's all it can be."

Cao Cao nodded, although he didn't like this feeling of being controlled by others, but Xun Yu's suggestion was the safest now, and he could only do this for now.

"Do you have any other opinions?"

Cao Cao glanced at the other people in the hall, but saw Chen Qun and said: "Regarding Yanzhou's defense, not only can it not be relaxed, but it also needs to be strengthened a few points. ”

When everyone heard this, they were all shocked, and they had been thinking about entering Shu, but they almost ignored it, until Chen Qun clicked it, and everyone suddenly remembered.

"What Changwen said is good, you must guard against Yuan Shang's hungry wolf, but you can't let people copy the back road." Cheng Yu echoed.

Cao Cao nodded slightly, since the grand strategy has been decided, the details do not need him to think about it, more than a dozen people in the hall have dispersed, each performing its own duties, and the machine in Yanzhou has turned violently. (To be continued......)
