"I wish to go to the king, please surrender to the king of Wei!"

"The lonely king of Yong is the Marquis of Fufeng, and the general of Jiahan Zhendong."

Ma Chao handed over his sword, and Cao Cao took it with a solemn expression, for the sake of the world, he could endure the revenge of killing his son.

As soon as Ma Chao descended, he had a complete division!

The pieces of Xiliang Iron Cavalry made Cao Cao extremely excited, it was nearly 20,000 cavalry!

With these cavalry, he can even fight another battle with Yan Guo in Youji, and even win the battle.

Coupled with the land of the six counties of Guanzhong that belonged to Liangzhou, Cao Cao laughed directly and laughed loudly: "When King Qin swept Liuhe, what land did he own? ”

Guo Jia, who was sick, laughed loudly: "Back to the king, when the Qin State swept the countries of the Kwantung region, all it had was Guanzhong, Shuzhong, Hedong, Heluo, and Jingzhou. ”

Cao Cao laughed even more heartily, and said in high spirits: "Now my Wei State has been based on Zhong, Sanhe, Southern Hebei, Yanzhou, and Yuzhou, and its power is even more than that of the Qin State in the past.

Clearing the world is just around the corner.

These grass-headed kings one by one will be exterminated, so that no one in the world dares to be the emperor and no one dares to be the king. ”

The current Wei State is simply a flying dragon riding face!

Look at the princes of the world, Guanzhong has been pacified, Liu Yan in Shuzhong is dead, Liu Zhang is just a master of success, Zhang Lu is a religious leader who is far inferior to the king of the Western Regions, and he is not of great use.

Lu Bu sat in the state and was outnumbered, just by virtue of bravery, Zhao was dead, and Yuan Tan had surrendered.

Although Lu Qiling did not follow Yuan Tan to Xuchang, but fled back to Bingzhou, but Lu Bu no longer needed to be an enemy of Wei, and when he returned to Kanto, he promised Lu Bu the honor of high-ranking officials, the dignity of gold and silver princes, the hereditary nobles, and the power of heavy generals.

The only ones who could still pose a threat to Wei now were Wu, Yan, and Liu Bei, but by that time, even if they were united, they could no longer pose a threat to Wei.

This is the real flying dragon riding face, and it is difficult to lose.

The ministers of Wei State didn't pretend anymore, and they all laughed loudly: "I wish to attach the tail wing of the king and calm the world!" ”

May the generals of the Xiliang Army all kneel on their knees, secretly rejoicing in their hearts that they surrendered early.

After Ma Chao surrendered, the king of the Western Regions directly scolded his mother: "Dog Ma Chao is simply a bitch in a brothel, a eunuch in the palace, and a lowly slave, which is worse than these!" ”

His whole person was numb, and he had just formed an alliance with Ma Chao to lead a large army to attack Cao Cao together, and Ma Chao sold him when he turned his head.

The king of the Western Regions could only hurriedly lead the army back to Hexi, and then hold on to prevent Cao Cao from invading, but fortunately, Cao Cao had just received Guanzhong and had no next plan.

But Cao Cao still sent a note to the king of the Western Regions: "The lord of a small state, how dare you peep into the land of the Han Dynasty? If you think of the first offense, you will not be held accountable, you should pay tribute to Your Majesty, forgive your sin, if not, you will be killed! ”

Cao Cao of the four counties of Hexi must be captured, there are good horse farms there, and it is the easiest piece to capture.

With the military horse farms in the four counties of Hexi, and at the same time removing the threat from the west, Cao Cao was able to eliminate the wings of the other princes step by step.

Cao Cao rested in Guanzhong for a while, and then returned to Guandong with Ma Chao, a group of Guanxi princes, and nearly 20,000 Xiliang iron horsemen.

Guanzhong is new, and there is still a lot of government work that needs to be done, and it is necessary to be careful and repeated.

He left behind a new generation of strategists and generals who were more optimistic about him, such as Xiahoudun and Sima Yi, who had rich political work experience, to sit in Chang'an.

From Guanzhong to the east of the Kanto, along the way, Cao Cao deliberately showed off his momentum, the boundless banner, the army that stretched for dozens of miles, its momentum was huge, the military appearance was grand, and the strength was so strong, all of which had never been seen since the end of the Han Dynasty.

After Cao Cao passed through Cuihan, Nanyang Taishou Zhao Hong led the army to wait on his way back to Luoyang.

When Cao Cao appeared, Zhao Hong sent an envoy to ask to come and see Cao Cao in person.

Cao Cao and the strategists of Wei looked at each other and smiled, and guessed that Zhao Hong wanted to take refuge, and when Zhao Hong followed the envoy and walked in, he raised his eyes and saw that the first person was full of heroism.

Zhao Hong was a little stunned for a while, and couldn't help but miss the infinite demeanor of their Taiping Army following the Lord of Heaven at that time.

If the Taoist Lord is alive, where are there so many things in this world?

Cao Cao looked at Zhao Hong, who was born in the Taiping Army, and thought of Guan Hai and others who had taken refuge in him, and unconsciously, there were so many generals from the Taiping Army under his command.

These are all fierce generals under Zhang Jiao's command at the beginning.

Zhang Jiao!

Thinking of this person, even if the power is huge to this extent, Cao Cao still feels a little cold.

Zhao Hong's heart turned a thousand times, but it was not revealed, he respectfully saluted Cao Cao and said: "Hannanyang guards Zhao Hong to see the king Ankang."

The king is a hero in the world, Zhao Hong admires it, and is willing to give up this title and become a pawn in the king's tent, holding the halberd and leading the horse. ”

Cao Cao made a moved look, and hurriedly helped Zhao Hong up and sighed: "Lone once heard the sage say that those who have attained the Tao have much help, and those who have lost the Tao have little help.

I'm really guilty.

I hope to live up to your expectations. ”

The importance of Nanyang is self-evident to today's Cao Wei forces.

It can be said that Nanyang is the last piece of the puzzle of Luoyang's eight passes, and after the surrender of Nanyang, Cao Cao did not need to move the capital of Wei to Yecheng, but could directly migrate to Luoyang.

Because all the passes around Luoyang are under his control.

Zhao Hong surrendered to Cao Cao not only because Cao Cao suddenly became powerful, but also because there were already his sworn brothers within Cao Cao, and these people had been persuading him.

Zhao Hong originally wanted to wait for Cao Cao to need him, such as to capture Jingzhou, and then surrender in exchange for the greatest benefits, but he didn't expect Cao Cao to be so fierce and directly pacify Guanzhong, and now he had to surrender in advance.

But fortunately, Cao Cao understands quite well.

still gave Zhao Hong enough face, and naturally, Zhao Hong had a lot of benefits to sell.

Cao Cao and the strategists smiled at each other again, Nanyang started, and then only needed to capture Hanzhong, force Shu to surrender, and then defeat Liu Bei, this world will be at your fingertips.

As for the state of Wu.

First, there is no Xuzhou Huaisi, and second, there is no Jingzhou Nanyang, so it can only sit south of the Yangtze River.

When the north is unified, the war potential of the two sides is completely different, and the state of Wu will be defeated!

Thinking of this, Cao Cao couldn't help but feel a little complacent, sure enough, the fortune teller did not miscalculate, the person who stood in his way to seize the world was Yuan Shao, as long as Yuan Shao died, the time would come and the heavens and the earth would work together, and he would do everything in vain to defeat him.

Although Cao Cao has become the de facto lord of one party, after all, he is still the nominal king of Han Wei, and there is an emperor above his head.

Then he naturally can't act recklessly, at least he can't leave a handle, for example, he can't call himself me, but he must call himself a lonely or a widow.

Otherwise, those historians will not save face for him, and there will be no shortage of arrogances.

No matter how incompetent Liu Xie is, no matter how useless he is, no matter how much he is a puppet, he is also the lord of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao must be respected if he has a different name.

……

Xuchang.

Only those who live here can feel the great changes that have taken place here along with the changes in the political atmosphere.

It used to be the political center of Cao Cao, and it was also the political center of Liu Xie's Han Dynasty, but with Cao Cao's gradual development, the contradictions between the two sides gradually grew.

Finally, in that cold winter, Cao Cao carried out a great purge, and those courtiers loyal to the Han family died or died.

The Cao Cao clique was completely severed from the Han court, and even moved its political center to Hebei, which became a prison for the Han emperor.

Yuan Tan, these disgraced princes, were also relocated here to wait for the future.

Xuchang City, which has always been groggy and has no vitality, is like thunder today, and the city gates around it are wide open, and a cavalry with a flag behind it galloped from outside the city.

All of them said loudly as they ran: "King Wei Guanzhong has a great victory!" King Wei Guanzhong victory! ”

"King Wei recovers Nanyang! King Wei recovers Nanyang! ”

This sudden sound immediately shocked the subjects of the Han Dynasty who were wandering around the streets.

"King Wei has won another big victory?"

This is the thought that is in the minds of almost all people.

"King Wei has won another big victory?"

In the palace, Liu Xie listened to the envoy's report on Cao Cao's achievements with a pale face.

The more Cao Cao won, the worse he lost.

Someday, he will export the emperor's crown on his head.

He looked around and saw that he could not see his loyal ministers, and a bloody color appeared in front of his eyes, and his loyal ministers had all died in that cold winter.

He couldn't help but snort.

He had woken up in countless nights, and an endless sea of blood enveloped him.

Those loyal ministers who were unjustly killed, even including their own concubines and eunuchs waiting around them, some were covered in blood, some had no head on their necks, and some had holes in their chests, all of which were different and tragic.

They are all asking themselves, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, when will you give us revenge, when will you give us a correct name.

We died unjustly, we are not thieves.

Liu Xie suddenly screamed, and sat directly on the ground, his hands waving constantly, and his mouth was yelling at some inaudible words.

Xi Zhicai, who followed the soldiers all the way back, frowned, stepped forward and asked unceremoniously: "Your Majesty, is there anything wrong?" ”

After roaring three times in a row, Liu Xiecai came back to his senses from hysteria, gasped for breath, looked at Xi Zhicai and said, "What did the sacrificial wine say?" ”

Xi Zhicai arched his hand and said proudly: "Your Majesty, the King of Wei defeated Ma Chao, recovered Guanzhong and Nanyang, and the banner of the Han Dynasty was re-established on these two lands, and the Han industry is about to prosper."

Isn't this the great achievement of King Wei in rebuilding Sheji?

If it is not rewarded, will it not chill the hearts of the loyal and righteous people in the world?

The ministers came to report the good news, and by the way, with the hope of the subjects of the world, wanted to know how His Majesty rewarded King Wei. ”

Be rewarded!

Liu Xie's hand clenched instantly, how else could he be rewarded?

Cao Cao is already a prince and a king, there is no reward, there is no seal, do you still have to give him the position of emperor?

He forcibly lifted his breath and trembled and said: "I am stupid, the credit of the King of Wei is too great, and he is almost about to revive the Han Dynasty, who can beat the King of Wei?"

I don't know how to reward him, so that he can show King Wei's great achievements, and he is wise, can you give me some advice. ”

A trace of disdain flashed in Xi Zhicai's eyes, and he knew that Liu Xie would definitely agree if he didn't even dare to fight.

There are so many holy kings in the Han Dynasty, how did they come out in the end with such a wreck, and how can they be worthy of being the emperor of the world?

Only a hero like King Wei who aspires to the world is worthy of having thousands of miles of rivers and mountains.

Xi Zhicai took out a document from his sleeve, Shi Shiran walked up to Liu Xie, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, these are some of the minister's thoughts, please take a look." ”

Liu Xie's hand shook again, but he didn't expect Cao Cao to be ready for his reward.

He took the paperwork a little reluctantly, and when he unfolded it, his face became whiter and paler.

Since ancient times, rewards have been nothing more than gold and silver, land, and officials, and that's what Cao Cao wanted.

Cao Cao's reward is not rewardable, and the seal is not sealed, but it is actually inaccurate, if it is sealed according to the courtiers, then it is natural that the reward can not be awarded again, and even the emperor should start to kill Cao Cao.

But can Cao Cao still be considered a courtier?

Whoever says it will reward him with a courtier like Cao Cao.

In the paperwork, what Cao Cao asked for was very simple and difficult, but Liu Xie knew that he had no ability to refuse, if it weren't for the fact that there were still Liu Bei and other princes, now Cao Cao would directly start to let himself Zen.

He looked at the paperwork, only to feel that he couldn't lift his strength up and down, and finally could only wave his hand numbly: "Just reward King Wei according to Qing's plan, so be it." ”

Xi Zhicai laughed softly: "Your Majesty's generous reward will definitely be able to cheer up the loyal and upright people in the world, and the King of Wei will definitely make another great contribution to the Han industry, and Your Majesty will be able to rule the world, which is really fortunate." ”

Liu Xie felt that Xi Zhicai's words were sarcastic about himself, but he really had nothing to say except anger.

After all, there is no problem with every word of Xi Zhicai, he is congratulating himself as the emperor.

Xi Zhicai turned around and left the hall, looking at Xi Zhicai's back, which was stretched so long in the light that Liu Xie almost sat on the ground.

He thought back to every word of the holy decree, and he felt that his heart was tingling.

Ancestors.

Dahan is really dying.
