Chapter Seventy-Three: Xuchang is in chaos
Cao Zhang was already half dead, and Wen Chou couldn't even stand up when he threw him down. .// Looking at the headless corpses all over the ground, and the blood that flowed out of his neck together, Cao Zhang almost vomited. The scene was too shocking, 20,000 people, 20,000 headless corpses, just lying in a pool of blood. The blood under his body is like a river, a puddle of water.
Li Hui said: \u201 I won't kill today, but the living crime can be avoided, and the death penalty is unforgivable! Just leave two ears behind!
Yes! Before Li Hui's words were finished, Cao Zhang screamed. Holding his head in both hands, blood slowly flowed out from between his fingers, and because of the pain, large pieces of sweat on his forehead dripped to the ground.
Go back and tell Prime Minister Cao Cheng that he will go to see him soon, and this time he has gone too far! Li Hui smiled and said: Give him a horse and let him go!
By the time Cao Zhang returned to Xuchang, it was already three months later. In fact, two months ago, Cao Cao had already received a report from the defenders of the Yellow River, and recently Hebei has continued to move troops and horses along the Yellow River, and the number of Hebei naval troops on the Yellow River has also increased a lot compared with the past. Cao 'Cao' hurriedly consulted with Xun You and others.
Xun You sighed: Hey! Things have developed to this point, it seems that there is no room for recovery, and sooner or later there will be a battle between them and Li Hui, but I just don't want to see it.
What are you afraid of! The soldiers are coming, and the water is coming! Cao Hong said: Li Hui's Hebei army is an 'elite' soldier, so their sergeants are not 'elite' soldiers?
Xun You shook his head: Li Hui's attack, I am not worried, at least Li Hui will have a degree, but Sun Quan and Liu Bei will definitely take this opportunity to rob them, if these two people are allowed to do it, they don't care whether they will face Li Hui face to face or not, they will definitely attack with all their might, and they will have no place to stand.
It's better for you \\ Chen Qun to 'want' and stop talking.
Cao '' and said: To put it bluntly, there are no outsiders here, no need to swallow and vomit!
Chen Qundao: It is better for us to withdraw our troops from Xuzhou and Yangzhou, let them toss the Central Plains, and we will also learn from Li Hui to retreat to Liangzhou, just waiting for the world to change and move eastward.
Nonsense! Cao Hong shouted: The eldest brother is a dignified prime minister, how can he live in Liangzhou, what kind of system is this?
Xun Youdao: This may not be a good way, and we don't have to retreat to Liangzhou, we can retreat to Chang'an, and when the war breaks out in the Central Plains, we take the opportunity to take Hanzhong, and wait for the world to change, from Hanzhong you can enter Yizhou, from Chang'an you can enter the Central Plains, and regain the world!
Cao '' nodded. Cheng Yu hurriedly said: The prime minister thinks twice, they retreat to Chang'an, and Li Hui chases after them, and there is no room for maneuver!
Yes, yes, yes! Cao Ren immediately said: It seems that Li Hui's fourth brother is very dissatisfied with his attack, and now the attackers must have put them to death and abandoned several states, undoubtedly cutting off their own back roads, and the army has no room for maneuver, how to fight again.
Several people discussed it all night, but there was no good countermeasure. Xun Yu said suddenly: This matter is very important, let Your Majesty decide!
Cao Hong smiled: Your Majesty? Can Your Majesty have a good way?
Xun Yu said: Your Majesty is now an adult, he is the real master of the Han, if His Majesty gives an edict, Li Hui will not withdraw the army is a bully to the king, and the world will punish him, presumably he will consider the consequences!
All right! Cao 'Cao' let out a long sigh: That's fine, tell Your Majesty about this matter, see how Your Majesty copies, if Your Majesty handles it properly this time, you will return to Your Majesty, and it will be considered a successful retirement!
Eldest brother! Cao Hong immediately shouted.
Cao '' to stop Cao Hong: Needless to say, this matter is settled, everyone is tired all night, go back and rest! For a while, no one can be absent.
Today's early dynasty is very rare, and Cao 'Cao' led himself and others to appear in the court. This was very surprising to a lot of people. Including Liu Xie. In a hurry, Liu Xie actually stood up from his seat and greeted Cao Cao. Cao '' waved his hand, and Liu Xie immediately shouted: Give me a seat!
Cao '' sat down and said, "Your Majesty, I want to talk to Your Majesty about another important matter today."
Prime Minister, please speak! Liu Xie's cold sweat came down immediately, the last time Cao '' said this, it was because of the matter of Uncle Dong Cheng. Liu Xie couldn't figure out what Cao was doing.
Cao 'Cao' said: After receiving a military report, Li Hui is attacking the soldiers along the Yellow River, and it seems that he has crossed the Yellow River.
Liu Xie's heart was put down, and he immediately said: Everyone, the prime minister has already said, what do you think?
Xun Yu hurriedly stood up and said: Li Hui is the general of Anbei of the Han Dynasty, since he is a courtier of the Han Dynasty, he should listen to His Majesty's dispatch, only His Majesty orders him to withdraw his troops, he must withdraw his troops, otherwise it will be a rebellion!
Joke! Jia Kui said: If Li Hui still thinks that he is a courtier of the Han Dynasty, how can he 'privately' open the law in Hebei, 'privately' confiscate the land and property of the scholars, and drive the rich out of Hebei, and put His Majesty in his eyes here, a piece of edict is a silk silk to put it bluntly, how can Li Hui take it to heart.
Yes! Yes! Everyone nodded.
Hua Yun said: Everyone, be quiet, please listen to a word, Li Hui relied on his strong army and acted recklessly, thinking that His Majesty should issue an order, announce it to the world, and jointly crusade against it, just like the crusade against Dong Zhuo back then, and completely execute Li Hui, and he will always be in trouble!
Yes, yes! There was another round of talking.
Cough! Cao 'Cao' coughed: Today's situation is very different from back then, Dong Zhuo has done evil, brought disaster to the country and the people, and there are many princes in the world, and now, Li Hui is already the biggest prince in the world, and the rest are either weak or infighting with each other, and there are a few people who are sure that His Majesty is dispatched, looking at the world, I am afraid that there is only Cao Cao's alone!
The ministers were very silent this time. Cao 'Cao' continued: \u201 and Xun You and several adults discussed a way, there is to temporarily avoid the edge, retreat to Chang'an, and wait for the opportunity to try the Han world again, everyone\\
Cao 'Cao's words have not been finished yet, and the ministers can no longer take care of Cao's 'Cao's majesty and face, so that the imperial court can retreat to Chang'an, and the dignified Han Emperor only has a small Chang'an City. A group of royalists led by Xun Yu and Hua Yun resolutely disagreed, and the pro-Cao faction led by Jia Kui was very supportive.
Cao Chun hurriedly ran in and whispered a few words in Cao's ear. Cao's '' face immediately turned pale, no one shouted, and hurriedly got up and walked out of the 'door'. Seeing this, Cao's party hurriedly followed, and in the council hall behind him, there was still a loud noise, and some people had even made a move. Emperor Liu Xie shook his head and sighed, and under the protection of the eunuch, he turned around with a wry smile and left.
