After the battle of Guanzhong, Cao Cao died, Yuan Shang was here, Cao Cao, who has been occupying the throne of the princes of the world, fell from the world, and the world once again formed a situation of separation, and the troubled times rose again, and the stormy Han world once again seemed chaotic and unclear.

In Yuan Shang's tent, Yuan Shang himself was reviewing the prisoners of Cao Jun's high-ranking officials one by one.

This first interrogator was none other than a culprit who made all the people in the Yuan clan hate it!

Cheng Yu, one of Cao Cao's five major strategists, Cheng Zhongde! At the same time, he was also the culprit who injured Yuan Shao with an arrow that year, causing Yuan Shao to finally die with hatred!

looked at the indifferent and disdainful, standing in the middle of the handsome tent with his head held high, as if he was not a prisoner here, but the master here, with an arrogant demeanor, not reduced in the slightest.

"Cheng Yu." Yuan Shao stared at him tightly for a long time, and finally spoke slowly: "I think you should understand that if you fall into my hands, you will not be able to live, you should know this better than anyone else, right?" ”

When Cheng Yu heard this, he smiled, shook his head and said: "Your father Yuan Shao, who died at the hands of the old man, you want to kill me to avenge my father, it is a natural and righteous move, why bother to say more?" The old man has always been thinking about this moment since the arrow was shot, and today it has finally arrived. ”

Yuan Shang nodded, and said solemnly: "What you did back then, it was for each of his masters, I don't blame you, but my father's revenge must be avenged, you can rest assured, one yard is one yard, after you die, in the future, I will capture Xuchang, I Yuan Shang will never involve your family and descendants with hatred, you can rest assured." ”

Cheng Yu smiled when he heard this, shook his head and said: "Yuan Shang, you just defeated Guanzhong, don't be too rampant, although our army suffered a crushing defeat in Guanzhong, it was forbidden." Xu Chu, Cao Chun and many other generals, but the strength of the Central Plains still exists, Xiahou Dan, Cao Ren and other generations are still there, Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Jia Xu and others assisted Ming Gong and then sat in Xuchang, if you want to defeat them in one go, you may not be able to get your wish. ”

Yuan Shang smiled when he heard this, and his smile was very deep and pleasant.

"I can't beat it. From now on, it's my business, and you, the person who is about to become an ancient, don't worry about it so much, so that you can go on the road and go through your own ghost gate, which is the right way....... people who come, stay, cut! ”

The knife and axe hand immediately stepped forward and led Cheng Yu down according to Yuan Shang's instructions, so far. A generation of famous ministers in Cao's army also passed away.

After dragging Cheng Yu down, another important minister, Xun You, was brought up.

Xun You is also loyal to Cao Cao, and no matter what Yuan Shang says, he is also resolutely unwilling to submit. But the Xun clan is a big clan in Yingchuan, which is not comparable to ordinary people, if it is slaughtered at will, Yuan Shang is afraid that it will shock the people who read in Zhongnan. Therefore, after weighing it again and again, it was immediately decided to temporarily detain Xun Yu and not dispose of it.

In addition, a group of Cao Chen either killed or surrendered. Then, finally, it was the turn of a heavyweight to appear.

When Xiahou Yuan was bound by the knife and axe hand and walked into the handsome tent with his head held high, Sima Yi, who had been standing beside Yuan Shang, couldn't help but light up his eyes, turned his head at Yuan Shang happily, and said with a smile: "Lord, it's your father-in-law!" ”

Yuan Shang heard that this was not right, frowned, and said very dissatisfiedly: "You father-in-law! ”

Xiahou Yuan couldn't help but be furious when he heard this, and roared angrily: "Who the hell am I, Yuan Shang, how many people did you bastard let my family Juan'er have!" ”

Yuan Shang hurriedly turned his head, arched his hand at Xiahou Yuan with a smile on his face, and said, "Don't be angry, father-in-law, I was joking just now, Juan Er is my daughter-in-law, the daughter-in-law that Ming Media is marrying, how can I be willing to let others get involved?" Don't get me wrong. ”

Xiahou Yuan snorted heavily, twisted his head, and said, "Don't talk nonsense, you can kill me quickly!" ”

Yuan Shang shook his head and said: "Killing you, isn't that the crime of disobedience, Juan Er knows that he will also blame me, father-in-law, you can't trap me in a place of disloyalty and injustice......... Or, what do you think of the path of surrender? ”

Xiahou Yuan snorted heavily and said angrily: "Fart!" I, Xiahou Yuan, am a dignified man, I have been loyal to Meng De in this life, how can I surrender to you bastard! No way! ”

"Cao Cao is dead, why should you be loyal to him? Are you ignoring Juan'er's mood and feelings? Yuan Shang frowned and asked dissatisfiedly.

"The younger generations have their own blessings, and I can't control the affairs of my children and grandchildren, let them deal with it themselves!" Xiahou Yuan's tone was very handsome and inviolable.

Yuan Shang looked at Xiahou Yuan's expression, after all, he sighed loudly, waved his hand and said: "Pull it down, serve it with good food and drink, without my order, no one can be rude to him, do you know it?" ”

"No!"

After Xiahou Yuan left, Sima Yi walked up to Yuan Shang with a smile and said in a low voice: "What's the matter, it's okay with your father-in-law?" You can't kill, you can't fight, you can't scold, you can only do this? ”

Yuan Shang glanced at him dissatisfiedly and said, "Then what do you say?" ”

Sima Yi smiled and said: "The so-called intimate relationship, don't look at you calling him Zhangren, but his surname is Xiahou, and your surname is Yuan, waiting for an opportunity in the future, find your daughter-in-law Xiahou Juan to persuade him in person, the little daughter-in-law has a handful of snot and tears, I don't believe that this old stubborn heart is not soft, and he refuses to agree." ”

Yuan Shang thought about it when he heard this, rolled his eyes, nodded and smiled: "It's still your trick." It's really coquettish enough. ”

"It's all up to the Lord's guidance."

"The generals and pawns of the Cao army have been disposed of?"

Sima Yi nodded and said: "It's all disposed of, except for Cao Hong, Xu Huang and other brave generals who sacrificed their lives to protect Cao Zhang's conflict, the others are basically dead and surrendered, Cao Jun is seriously injured this time!" ”

Yuan Shang nodded and said, "Well, since this is the case, order the three armies, you can prepare, return to Chang'an, temporarily recuperate, and wait for a good opportunity." ”

Sima Yi was a little stunned when he heard this, and said, "Go back to Chang'an?" Now that Cao Cao is dead, the soldiers and horses are scattered, at this time, not only the army will attack the Central Plains and capture Xuchang, what else will you rest? Gao Gan and Yuan Xi are still fighting in Chenliu and Xuzhou, you finally got Guanzhong, why don't you immediately lead troops to reinforce them? ”

Yuan Shang's face remained unchanged when he heard this, and said: "If you don't say it, I almost forgot, and immediately send someone to inform Gao Gan and Yuan Xi, so that they can temporarily return to the army and not continue to attack." Give Cao Jun a chance to breathe and let them rest well. ”

Sima Yi frowned and said, "What? My lord, what is your idea? ”

Yuan Shang smiled slightly and said, "The secret of heaven cannot be revealed, you will naturally know it in the future." ”

************************

Xudu, Sikong House.

The news of the defeat of Cao's army and the death of Cao Cao himself by Liu Bei soon spread back to Xu Du through the spies in Jingzhou, and the matter had just spread all over the world. Liu Bei immediately became famous, which was thunderous, but at the same time, he was also hated by the generals of the Cao clan of Xu Du and Yuan Shang to the core.

"Liu Bei! Yuan Shang! I want you to pay with your blood! ”

In the main hall of Sikong Mansion, a gloomy voice roared hoarsely, mixed with a mournful roar.

The person who cried was a handsome young man, with a bit of Cao Cao's image and temperament between his eyebrows, but it was more of an indescribable sense of gloom.

This man's name is Cao Pi, and he succeeds the dead Cao Ang. The eldest of Cao Cao's sons.

Beside Cao Pi, there are several other adult children of the Cao family, as well as Xun Yu and Jia Xu, two old people, Guo Jia's health is not safe. So I was not able to be there at such a time.

"The second prince should not be too sad, the top priority is to find a way to deal with Yuan Shang's generals, and now the Ming Duke has returned to heaven. There is no barrier in the northwest, and you need to quickly entangle the soldiers and horses to block. lest Yuan Shang's army advance eastward, and the Central Plains will be in danger! It was none other than Cao Cao's deputy who was most trusted in his arms before his death, Shang Shuling Xun Yu.

Hearing this, Cao Pi hurriedly stood up, wiped his tears, nodded and said to Xun Yuyan: "What Xun Gong said is that Pi Shicai's mood is too sad and angry, and he is a little out of shape...... It's just that Xu Du's soldiers and horses are still insufficient for self-protection, how to send a large army to deal with Yuan Shang and his ilk? ”

Xun Yu thought for a while and didn't speak.

"Brother, at this moment, you might as well transfer Xiahoudun and Cao Ren to return to Xudu immediately to consolidate the internal defense, the border land of Xuzhou can be lost, but Xu Du can't be lost, not to mention that Yuan Shang himself is much stronger than Yuan Xi and Gao Gan and the like, we would rather concentrate all our strength to deal with him, rather than waste too much energy on harmless people."

Everyone couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this, and looked at the person who spoke, it was none other than Cao Cao's fourth son, Cao Zhi.

In the past three years, although Cao Zhi still has the appearance of going to Saibei with Yuan Shang, it is obvious that the childish aura on his body has been removed a lot, and it is more of a mature man's breath.

Jia Xu, who had been half-asleep, couldn't help but open his eyelids when he heard this, glanced at Cao Zhi indifferently, and suddenly said: "This is ...... Well said, very well said. ”

Cao Zhi obviously didn't expect Jia Xu to praise him, so he hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Doctor Jia praised it." ”

Cao Pi Shicai's red and swollen eyes were still crying, and at this moment, he couldn't help but have a trace of essence, and his eyes towards Cao Zhi obviously changed a little, and he nodded and said: "The fourth brother's advice is wonderful, it is worthy of the descendants of the Cao family that my father focused on cultivating back then, but it is much stronger than these mediocre people such as me." ”

"The second brother praised it, but the younger brother never dared to praise it like this."

Everyone was discussing, but a scout hurried over to report, saying: "Qiqi Xun Shangshu....... all the departments of the Yuan army have a big movement!" ”

When Xun Yu heard this, he was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Speak!" ”

"Guanzhong Yuan Shang, return to Chang'an, press the army, attack Yuan Xi of Chenliu, return to Pingqiu, cross the river to the north, and attack Xuzhou's Gao Gan, is to lead the troops back to Qingzhou, but also not to continue to attack Rao, I don't know why?"

Everyone couldn't help but be shocked when they heard this.

Cao Pi seemed to be a little incredulous, and muttered to himself: "Yuan's three-way soldiers and horses are all withdrawn? What's going on? They've already got the upper hand, right? Yuan Shang: What is the idea of this? ”

Among all the people, everyone was very puzzled, only Jia Xu's eyes unconsciously shone with a fine light, sweeping back and forth among the sons led by Cao Pi and Cao Zhi left by Cao Cao, as if they had some strange ideas, but after all, they still kept their mouths and did not say a word............
