The red sun rises in the east, and its way is bright!

Thousands of troops, swords and armor!

Surrounded by ten thousand armies, the Han emperor returned to his loyal Xingyang.

Xingyang Palace, the ministers set their own positions.

The shrill voice of the regular attendant resounded in the hall, "Yanzhou Mu Cao Cao, the world is favored by the emperor, loyal and sincere, awe-inspiring and virtuous, tireless and hardworking, every time to welcome the saint, he has made great contributions to the Han Dynasty, and he has made great contributions to the Western General, the envoy is a festival, and he is a marquis, and there are 3,100 households in the city."

Tell the world. ”

In the palace, Cao Cao's face was calm, but his eyes were ecstatic.

General, Hussar General, Xiao Cavalry General, Che Cavalry General, Li Dao Guo Yan is dead, these four heavy generals are not held, and the next is the four expeditions, four towns and four flat heavy generals, you must know that in the past, when Li Guo and the two of them sprinkled the officials, all they spilled was four towns and four flats, not to mention that Cao Cao's general Zhengxi had a big honorific title.

Today, in terms of official position alone, he is already the apex of a martial artist.

Liu Xie sat at the top, and he was quite intelligent, and he felt the difference between Cao Cao and Li Guo in a short time.

After the canonization was over, Liu Xie asked: "Qing, I returned from Guanzhong, and I saw that Henan was stable and Luoyang was also safe, I don't know when I would return to Luoyang and worship my ancestors?"

Is there something wrong with the Han Emperor's crown not being in Luoyang? ”

As soon as Liu Xie's words came out, the hall was instantly silent.

Cao Cao raised his eyes slightly, most of the ministers under his command were too low to be qualified to go to the palace, but the courtiers who accompanied Liu Xie to Xingyang also changed their faces.

Luoyang!

That's not something you can go back to, Xun Yu secretly said something bad in his heart, and immediately came out and said: "Your Majesty, Luoyang is the holy land of the emperor in the world, and it is where the throne is."

However, Luoyang is slightly damaged, the city is damaged, it is a city without walls, not to mention the army, even bandits can come and go at will, can not defend the people, nor can defend His Majesty.

If it is raging today, all the four seas are unsubordinate, and the eight wildernesses are full of rebels.

Luoyang is in the middle of the eight passes, the jackals are peeping, His Majesty moved to Luoyang, it is really self-defeating.

Those who persuade His Majesty to return to Luoyang in such a situation do not have evil thoughts in their hearts and try to cause trouble?

Only Cao Hou is worried about His Majesty. ”

As soon as Xun Yu's words came out, the hall was quiet, Liu Xie was a little confused, and said after a moment of silence: "I see, then let's live in Xingyang temporarily." ”

After Cao Cao walked out, Liu Xie and his ministers finally had time to discuss the general of the expedition to the west.

Liu Xie sighed: "Come and see, what kind of person is this Cao Cao? ”

Everyone looked at each other a few times, and Da Si Nong said: "Your Majesty, this Cao Cao is an ally of Yuan Shao, what kind of person is he, do you still need to think about it?"

Even if it is not as respectful and cruel as Li Guo and others, he must be a traitor inside, and he must not be a loyal minister like Wushuang Zhongwuhou.

Your Majesty, the ministers and others will be by your side, life and death together. ”

Liu Xie's eyes flashed with lament, of course he knew that it would be difficult to see a loyal minister like Luokong again, but there was still some hope in his heart.

"Then what do you think Cao Cao is doing when you welcome me?"

Hearing Liu Xie's inquiry, everyone in the hall looked at each other a few times, even if they didn't understand it before, they all understood it now.

Cao Cao returned to the palace of the great generals of Zhengxi, who had just hung up the plaque, and immediately summoned a group of advisers and clan generals of the shogunate.

Cao Cao and Liu Xie are now in a cooperative relationship, one is famous, the other is powerful, and they cooperate with each other to create a great cause.

What followed would be a period of great development of Cao Cao's power, but one of his most important issues for Cao Cao was to balance the relationship between the royal power and his own.

People have a heart.

It's not just that he misses the Han family, but only within the framework of the Han family can he exert himself, and not everyone is willing to follow Cao Cao to the black.

The human heart is extremely complex.

Some people are not loyal to a certain emperor, and they can even overthrow the emperor, but usurpation is never allowed.

Unless he kills like Li Dao Guo Yan, he will never be able to say a word.

The principle of kings and ministers is one of the greatest truths between heaven and earth.

As everyone entered the house, the door slowly closed with a dull sound.

Looking at the strategists under his command, Cao Cao asked one of the most critical questions, "Ladies and gentlemen, now the emperor is in the army.

In the past, it was said that the emperor was not subordinate to the emperor's order, and it was close at hand.

I'm in Yanzhou, where do I go? ”

Where does Yanzhou go from here?

This is the biggest problem after the emperor.

The moment the emperor entered Xingyang, the alliance between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao broke down.

Xun Yu first said: "Lord, Yuan Shao defeated Gongsun Zhan, all of them were based on Jizhou, and Lu Bu of Jizhou was an ally, and he occupied most of Qingzhou, Gongsun Zan had dry bones in the mound, and Youzhou would also be owned by Yuan Shao."

If this is the case, the tiger is in the land of the four states, the south is vying for power, and those who hear it are invincible, Yuan Shao is almost about to get the world. ”

As soon as Xun Yu's words came out, all the strategists said: "Yes! ”

Cao Cao suddenly burst out laughing, and his laughter was full of heroism, "If Yuan Shao can really get the world, you and I, Cao Cao, can you sit here?"

Liu Bei, the hero of the world, can An sit in Qingxuhu?

In this world, he is not only a hero and hero!

Since the Later Han Dynasty, the world has declined, since the Taiping, Kyushu has collapsed, Yin and Yang have been rebellious and blood has stained the sky, and I Cao Cao will be the one who will help the chaos of the world.

Greeting the emperor, that's exactly the case.

Ladies and gentlemen, know it today! ”

Cao Cao looked at everyone, and there was still a word left before he spoke, so he didn't want to test his ambitions again.

Xun Yu, Xun You, Xi Zhicai, Cheng Yu, Guo Jia and Zhu Xiahou Cao all clasped their fists together, with solemn faces.

Guo Jia laughed softly: "Since the lord has this great wish, Jia has a few words.

What Xun Lingjun said before was not alarmist, if he sat idly by, Yuan Shao would definitely encroach on the world.

Yuan Shao's strength is not something that my family can match, so we must make strong reinforcements from outside and reduce their strength, and the two are together, and it is not difficult to win.

Lu Bu is a border county warrior, he must be a capricious person, although he doesn't know what benefits Yuan Shao promised, but he thinks it's just a combination of interests.

Now that our army is orthodox in the Han Dynasty, it can be used as Lu Buxu's benefit, the bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and Yuan Shao's arm is also broken.

The strong reinforcement was Liu Bei, who was assisted by the Lu family, but Qingzhou was lost, and Linzi Jimo was all in Yuan Shao's bag.

Even so, they all defend Mount Tai, which is to connect with our army and gain a foothold in order to recapture Qingzhou.

There is also strong reinforcement called Youzhou! ”

"Youzhou? The dry bones in the mound Gongsun Zhan? ”

Cao Cao was puzzled, thought about his understanding of Gongsun Zan again, shook his head and said, "He is not worthy of being Yuan Shao's opponent!" ”

Guo Jia chuckled and said, "Naturally, it's not Gongsun Zhan's incompetent person.

Lord, when the general trend is today, it is different from the late Han Dynasty, it is no longer a competition for the princes within the Han family, and it is not only Yuan Shao who can seize Youzhou?

That Liaodong Yan State, the soldiers are brave and brave, once Gongsun Chan shows defeat, he can immediately send tens of thousands of cavalry to occupy Youzhou and become Gongsun Chan before the second boundary bridge.

At that time, the Quartet attacked Yuan Shao, although the people of Jizhou were numerous, but the terrain was narrow, once he broke through Yanshan, a plain, and went straight to Yecheng, how could he be undefeated? ”

Cao Cao couldn't sit still when he heard this, and said with a shocked expression: "This ......"

But he glanced at everyone, but found that except for Xun Yu, who wanted to speak and stopped, the rest of the people were expressionless, and Xi Zhicai even had appreciation.

Xun You and Cheng Yu both asked Cao Cao suspiciously, "Lord, what Feng Xiao said just now, but is there any problem?" ”

Cao Cao opened his mouth, then smiled: "Heh... Scold...

No problem, Bonghyo continued. ”

Guo Jia continued: "Iron still needs its own hardness.

The key to Yuan Shao's strength is to break through Gongsun Zhan, get the Youzhou cavalry, and then have the Bingzhou cavalry, Jizhou and Qingzhou's money and grain population.

Our army is located in Yanzhou, the place of the four wars, and there is an opportunity in danger.

The three rivers of Sizhou in the west are all fertile soil.

To the south of Yuzhou, occupied by Yuan Shu, his people are only dry bones in the mound, and they cannot guard their soil.

Yuan Shaosheng Gongsun Zhan, the lord can also take the world's capital from Yuan Shu!

Attack Yuan Shu, occupy Sanhe, according to Luoyang Baguan, even if Yuan Shao really has four states, he can also fight, the foundation of this king.

Advance can attack the east and compete with Yuan Liu, and retreat can enter the customs according to the trend of Western Qin annexing the world, and there is no reason to lose. ”

"Three Rivers! Yuzhou! ”

Cao Cao stood up, muttered these two words, and looked up at the unknown distance, "Liu Bei, Yan Guo." ”

Guo Jia has a lot to say, but the point is just two allies, two lands, and one enemy.

"Where do you think the focus of our army should be?"

The strategists glanced at each other, and then said in unison: "Attack Yuan Shu!" ”

Yuan Shu's current situation is really not good, and he is deeply mired in the quagmire of war with Liu Biao, especially after Gongsun Zan was defeated and Liu Bei withdrew from Qingzhou and entered Xuzhou.

At the end of the Northern War, Cao Cao betrayed the alliance and welcomed Liu Xie into Yanzhou non-stop, and the Yuan-Cao alliance broke down, but the alliance of Yuan Shao and Liu Biao was still there, and Cao Cao and Liu Biao also had a common enemy, Yuan Shu.

Now Cao Cao and Liu Bei want to join forces against Yuan Shao, so the alliance between Liu Bei and Yuan Shu has broken down, and Yuan Shu is now going to suffer from the enemy.

The house leak happened to rain overnight!

Sun Jian, the Jiangdong Tiger, is not obedient!

As the most capable vassal under Yuan Shu, the army led by Sun Jian was a rare record he could win against Liu Biao.

Sun Jian understood that he was indispensable to Yuan Shu, so he became more and more rampant, and the lion opened his mouth for all kinds of resources such as grain, grass, and ordnance, which caused Yuan Shu to scold countless times.

Restless.

The wind came.

This wind is gloomy and piercing, but it is not to extinguish the fire in the heart, but to make the fire in the heart stronger.

This wind comes from the east, from the north, from the south, and no one knows it.

Runan.

Yuan Shu smashed a fine piece of porcelain again, and the heavy wheezing sound made anyone feel his anger.

"Damn! Damn it! ”

He roared angrily, remembering what the letter had said, and with a flash of cruelty in his eyes, he summoned the servant and sent a letter.

Looking at the figure of the messenger leaving, Yuan Shu said gloomily: "Heaven will make it die, it will make it crazy, Sun Jian, this is what you deserve." ”

The situation in Jingzhou is extremely complicated.

The essence of Jingzhou is naturally Nanyang County, Nanjun County, and Jiangxia County.

But the key point of Nanyang County is not in the hands of Liu Biao, but in the hands of Zhao Hong, the Taishou of Nanyang, who used to be one of the commanders of the Taiping Army.

Zhao Hong is a vassal of Liu Biao who listens to the tune and does not listen to the announcement, Liu Biao is not at ease with Zhao Hong, and he has always had an army in Xiangyang to defend the palace, and the two sides do not invade each other.

The battlefield of the battle between Yuan Shu and Liu Biao was basically in Jiangxia County, and Sun Jian led the army to fight Liu Biao's army here.

As for the supply of money and food, Yuan Shu naturally provided it, he was just a wandering warlord with no roots.

Sun Jian inspected the military camp as usual to prevent Liu Biao from suddenly coming to attack, and then learned that the grain and grass that Yuan Shu was supposed to arrive on time had been delayed.

Grain and grass are the foundation of the three armies!

Sun Jian suddenly said angrily: "Who dares to withhold the grain and grass of my army? Let me know that I will not be spared! ”

The envoy said Yuan Shu's original words: "Sun Wentai lost his troops and lost his generals, wasted grain and grass, and did not have an inch of work, so what face did he have to eat my food?" ”

When Sun Jian heard this, he was both frightened and angry: "When this big war occurs, how can we cut off the food of the front-line army?

Isn't this about the burial of the three armies?

Yuan Highway!

Yuan Shu!

You erection, inadequacy and conspiracy! ”

Sun Jian just wanted to hide the news, but the news spread throughout the army almost instantly, and the soldiers knew that no grain and grass had been delivered, and the crowd was excited.

All the generals under Sun Jian's command entered the account and said angrily: "Yuan Shu is unkind, lord, there is no grain and grass, we must withdraw the army." ”

Sun Jian paced twice when he heard this, and said hatefully: "Yuan Shu is trying to force me Sun Jian to bow his head."

It's hateful!

He must not be allowed to do so, otherwise life and death will be in his hands in the future.

Today, the grain and grass in the army can still last for a while.

If Jingzhou also knew that our army was short of food, it might be able to lure the enemy into going deeper, break the Jingzhou army, and seize Jiangxia.

If you can capture Jiangxia, you can stick to Jiangxia, please be a vassal of Liu Biao, counterattack Yuan Shu, or go down the river to attack Jiangdong, this is where the vitality lies. ”

What Sun Jian said convinces all the generals is indeed the best way now.

Seeing that everyone was no longer dissatisfied, Sun Jian laughed loudly: "This general will personally go to explore the land of Jiangxia and find a place that is easy to ambush, so that the generals of Jingzhou can see how I started from the cold gate, and how big the gap between this field battle and defending the city is." ”

Everyone didn't care that Sun Jian wanted to go to investigate in person.

Among Sun Jian's generals, there are not many who can defeat Sun Jian by force alone, he often takes the lead, and he is also a 10,000-strong enemy who fought with Zhang Jiao and did not die.

Since entering Jingzhou, it has also been charging forward and invincible.

Sun Jian rode out of the military camp with hundreds of elite horses to explore the land of Jiangxia County.

————

Emperor Sheng to the emperor as the general of the expedition to the west, the envoy of the festival, and the special gift to open the house, the emperor is to summon the soldiers, said: "The world is turbulent, rebellious masterpieces, the outline often falls to the ground, blood is overflowing, now I respect the Han Emperor, just order the world, crusade against the ministers, cheer up the discipline, relieve the people, with the friendship of the whole Han Chen!" ”

The scholars listed the world's heroes Sun Zan and Yuan Shu, all of whom were dry bones in the mound, and the emperor was very light, saying: "Yuan Shao hit Zan and I defeated Yuan Shu, which occupies the north of the Central Plains, and I have the south of the Central Plains, and drives in parallel, so I think it is true?" ”

And so it was. - "Book of Wei: Emperor Wu Benji"
