In the main hall of the dramatist, Xi Yu glanced at Cao Cao faintly and did not speak.

This kung fu, Xun Yu on the side smiled.

"Fengyi, this autumn harvest is coming, Sikong and I, I want to ask your opinion on the autumn harvest!"

Xun Yu took the initiative to speak, and Cao Cao on the side was not in a hurry.

Xi Yu raised his eyebrows slightly.

What do you think about the aftermath of the autumn harvest?

It's just that in an instant, he already knew that Lao Cao was planning to raise troops again!

But now is about the time to do it.

"I think you have already made a decision, but I want to hear your opinions!"

Xi Yu was not in a hurry to say what he thought.

It is naturally feasible to use troops, but where to use them is another question.

In Xi Yu's opinion, after Sun Ce and others handed over the jade seal of the country to Yuan Shu, it would not be long before the other party would inevitably have the idea of becoming the emperor.

When the time comes, attacking Yuan Shu will naturally be a matter recognized by the world.

It's just that he knows this matter in his heart, but he thinks that Cao Cao, Xun Yu and others should not know.

They were planning to raise troops at this time, and Xi Yu also wanted to know, what was the target in the eyes of Xun Yu and Cao Cao?

Hearing Xi Yu say this, Xun Yu on the side thought about it and then explained.

"Si Nong, after the autumn harvest, our army has abundant grain and grass, and Sili Guanzhong is an important town, we will discuss with Sikong, this time we will go west again, and when we collect the Sili area, we will enter Hanoi by the way!"

After Xun You finished speaking, Cao Cao on the side nodded after him.

"That Hanoi is public, disrespectful to the imperial court, the previous time it was even more obstructive to the westward advance of the imperial court, this time I intend to raise the royal division, sweep away the Hanoi area in one fell swoop!"

Playing flamboyant?

Xi Yu was a little surprised, but he never thought that the result of everyone's discussion would be to attack Si Li and take the Hanoi area at the same time.

Speaking of which, if there is no matter of Yuan Shu.

Attacking Hanoi is also a good option.

Nowadays, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are the most powerful in the entire north, and Sili, Hanoi and other areas belong to the buffer zone on the west side between the two.

After all, Yanzhou and Jizhou are neighbors, although the two are allies.

But discerning people know that sooner or later there will be a big war between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.

And once Cao Cao took the Sili and Hanoi regions, it would naturally be a further expansion of power.

On the other hand, if Yuan Shao takes the state and merges it with the state, the regions of these two people will be regarded as fully bordering each other.

At that time, the power of the two is almost equivalent to half a catty.

Lao Cao chose to go west to occupy Sili and Hanoi at this time, which was also a normal choice.

However, after the autumn harvest, there will be movement when I want to come to Yuan Shu's side.

If Cao Cao wanted to go west and go north, then it would be difficult to go south, and then he would not be able to attack Zhang Yang again.

When the time comes, it can only be said that all the efforts have been in vain!

After thinking about it, Xi Yu kindly reminded him.

"If you want to go west and attack Hanoi by the way, I think my brother might as well wait a little longer!"

"Wait?"

Cao Cao was a little puzzled.

Xi Yu didn't hide this effort, he got up and walked to the place where the map of Dahan Prefecture was hanging not far from the main hall.

"If my brother asks me for my opinion, I think that after the autumn harvest, you can prepare to attack Yuan Shu!"

Xi Yu casually pointed to the location of Huainan in the region, and did not explain but proposed.

Hearing this, Cao Cao was a little stunned.

Fight Yuan Shu?

To be honest, in Cao Cao's eyes, Yuan Shu is nothing at all, and the other party was chased all the way to Yangzhou by himself this time, and now he occupies Huainan.

However, it was not much of a threat to him.

And now the biggest threat is Yuan Shao, who is in the north.

If he didn't hurry up and take down the important towns of Sili, he would wait for Yuan Shao to occupy Bingzhou, turn his head and annex Hanoi, and then march into Yanzhou.

The whole of Yanzhou is probably under Yuan Shao's military peak.

If Yuan Shao had sent a large army from Hanoi and straight to Xuchang, I am afraid that it would have been even worse.

At present, while Yuan Shao has not taken Lu Bu, it is the best decision to take down the important towns of Sili first, including the Hanoi area.

Yuan Shu, after all, can be cleaned up at any time.

Xi Yu proposed to prepare to fight Yuan Shu, but even Xun You and Xun Yu on the side were a little puzzled.

According to the current pattern of the world, westward expansion is naturally the best choice.

It is okay to choose to fight Yuan Shu, but it is impossible for Liu Biao of Jingzhou on his side to let it go.

At that time, Cao Jun will not only face the entire Yuan Shu's army, but the entire southern border!

Xun's uncle and nephew were a little puzzled, and they looked at Xi Yu as if they wanted an explanation.

But Xi Yu didn't open his mouth to explain anything.

When the news of Yuan Shu's desire to become emperor comes out, these people will understand.

It's not wrong to go west.

It's just that the timing is wrong!

Xi Yu just didn't want Lao Cao to work hard to take the army around for nothing!

Seeing that Xi Yu didn't explain anything, Cao Cao didn't ask more, but the expectation in his heart couldn't help but be a little less.

A few people chatted in the main hall for a while, and then talked about Xuchang School.

Cao Cao took the initiative to take Xun You and Xun Yu out of the theater.

Before leaving, Xun Yu couldn't help but slow down a few steps, and when Cao Cao and Xun Yu walked away, Xun Yu glanced at Xi Yu.

"Fengyi, what do you mean by proposing to attack Yuan Shu this time?"

Regarding this matter, Xun Yu still couldn't figure it out in his heart, he didn't believe that Xi Yu couldn't see the current situation clearly.

Occupying the subordinate area is the best option now.

However, Xi Yu suggested that he should fight Yuan Shu, which made Xun Yu unable to figure it out.

"Wen Ruo, if I tell you that Yuan Shu is going to do something that the world is angry about, can you believe it?"

"Huh?"

"You're saying that we'll also choose to attack Yuan Shu?"

Just a word, Xun Yu reacted instantly, since Xi Yu can say so, then this matter will inevitably happen.

What is it?

Xun Yu didn't expect it, or rather, he didn't think about it at all.

Since Xi Yu said this, Xun Yu didn't ask anything more, just smiled and turned around and chased after Cao Cao and the others.

……

Just after the autumn season of August, the temperature in the whole Han began to cool down significantly.

Compared with the south, the temperature in the north is more obvious after the beginning of autumn.

Meanwhile.

In the Yang Biao Mansion of the Fourth and Third Dukes, because of Cao Cao's victory in Zhang Xiu's reconquest, the voices of Dong Cheng and others in the entire court have become much quieter.

Now that Yang Biao is at home, Liu Xie intends to reactivate Yang Biao.

Even with Dong Cheng and others, they were looking forward to Yang Biao's return to the court.

This wind direction has begun to quietly set off in recent days.

And this kind of thing naturally can't be hidden from Cao Cao, but for the current Cao Cao, Yang Biao can't return to the court, and for him, there is no previous impact.

Even if he Yang Biao returned to the court, the wind direction of the entire court was still controlled by him Cao Cao.

If it weren't for the jealousy of the name of Yang Biao IV and the Third Duke, killing the other party would damage his reputation.

The previous Cao Cao would never let this person live under his nose.

But now, it doesn't matter.

At this moment, in Yang Biao's mansion, Dong Cheng and other old ministers who returned with Liu Xiedong all gathered in Yang Biao's mansion.

"Taiwei, now that Cao Cao is the dominant family in the court, he is already like Dong Zhuo back then."

"Now that Your Majesty is in such a situation, how should we, the old ministers of the Han family, face the ancestors, and how to face the emperors of the Han Dynasty!"

These gang of Han ministers who followed Liu Xiedong couldn't help but cry in front of Yang Biao.

It's just that now, Yang Biao doesn't have the slightest way.

Cao Cao's prestige has been achieved, and now there is no way for them to compete with each other!

Of course, none of the princes outside can be trusted.

Yang Biao and the others had no choice but to gather together and sigh to themselves.

"Duke Yang knows, that Cao Cao was above the court, and repeatedly slandered Duke Yang in front of His Majesty, but unfortunately we waited for ......"

They don't dare, today's Cao Cao is even more intimidating than Dong Zhuo before.

At the beginning, Dong Zhuo dared to raise the butcher knife at will if he disagreed, and now Cao Cao is the same.

The speaker who had admonished before, now his body has long been in the cold court captain, and he has become a corpse.

"What's the point of returning to the court?"

Yang Biao sighed.

When he was dismissed from office, he had been thinking about returning to the court again, thinking about dealing with Cao Cao.

However, Cao Cao was powerful, and he had no chance to return to the court.

And now, after this period of leisure at home, Yang Biao has also figured it out.

Even if you return to the court, what will happen?

These people, after all, have no way to take that Cao Cao.

Now, even if he returns to the court, he will face Cao Cao's repeated humiliation.

Even Yang Biao could imagine that Cao Cao humiliating himself in front of him.

In this way, there is no point in returning to the court.

"Yang Gong, but if this is the case, is it difficult for us to watch the Han Dynasty being harmed by that Cao Cao like this?"

Some old ministers of the Han family couldn't help but speak out.

Hearing this, Yang Biao couldn't help but be a little stunned!

Scourge?

Although he didn't have a good impression of Cao Cao, even his position with the other party was hostile.

But Yang Biao has to admit that everything Cao Cao is doing now is extremely good.

If it weren't for Cao Cao, the current majesty might still have to wander around the Han Dynasty.

There is not even a place to live in peace, let alone the court itself!

How can they, the old ministers, have a place to live?

However, seeing Cao Cao do this, he couldn't do it.

Cao Cao is now acting like Dong Zhuo, although he is only in the empty position, but he is doing the duties of the prime minister of the Han Dynasty.

Now this is already the case, and when Cao Cao's power is further expanded, he can still be willing to be a commonplace.

Yang Biao can already see that Cao Cao is now walking on the road to Wang Mang.

The country of this great Han dynasty will be usurped by Cao Cao when it can't be saved.

That's what they're worried about.

"Watching?"

What else can you do if you don't watch!

Yang Biao was a little stunned.

Someone on the side of this kung fu is here to speak.

"Yang Gong, now His Majesty intends to let you return to the court, His Majesty has already asked that Cao Cao before, although he resisted, but he did not deny what His Majesty said."

"Yang Gong's return to the court is already expected!"

Hearing this, Yang Biao didn't care in the slightest.

He looked up at the courtiers.

"I don't want to return to the court, this time I want to deal with that Cao Cao, there is only one person in my mind!"

Just when he was stunned, a figure flashed in Yang Biao's mind.

"Who is this person?"

The ministers were a little excited.

Yang Biao did not hesitate, turned his head and looked at everyone: "Xi Yu, Xi Fengyi!" ”

……

"Oh, those mediocre people, went to Yang Biao's mansion again?"

A group of people led by Dong Cheng went to Yang Biao's mansion with great fanfare, and the corners of Cao Cao's mouth only smiled contemptuously.

Some time ago, the Son of Heaven deliberately asked him if he wanted to reactivate Yang Biao.

Cao Cao knew that these people had secretly made a lot of moves during this time.

However, after all, they are just some incompetent!

He did not refuse Liu Xie's proposal, which did not mean that he Yang Biao could return to the court.

Even if he Cao Cao agreed.

Even if you Yang Biao return to the court, you have some ability.

Now half of the people in the court are all pulled up by him Cao Cao, and he Yang Biao can't do anything.

"By the way, how has Yang Xiu done recently?"

Cao Cao had Yang Xiu by his side for a while before, and to be honest, that kid was smart and tight!

It's a pity that the other party is Yang Biao's son after all.

After inspecting Yang Xiu, Cao Cao rearranged an errand for Yang Xiu to serve.

Now, it's been some time.

"Yang Xiu is very measured, and there is nothing wrong with dealing with problems during this time!"

Xi Zhicai responded casually.

Cao Cao nodded: "Zhicai, continue to let people stare at these people, I don't bother to pay attention to them now!" ”

For Cao Cao, Yang Biao and these people can't make the slightest wave in his eyes after all.

At present, the most important thing is to expand the power in the west after the autumn harvest.

In the next few years, the time for him to break with Yuan Shao is probably not far away.

Cao Cao had a hunch that the battle between him and Yuan Shao might be whether he could sweep away the most critical battle in the world.

If he loses this battle, then everything he has created will not have the slightest meaning.

Xi Zhicai nodded, and then spoke again.

"I heard from the palace that His Majesty invited Yang Biao into the palace today to reminisce about the old days, can Sikong go and have a look!"

Although the matter about the Son of Heaven, even if it is small, it cannot be ignored.

However, for Cao Cao, the so-called renewals of the Son of Heaven looking for Yang Biao at the moment are nothing more than discussing how to suppress himself.

Cao Cao couldn't help but smile.

If he runs over to participate in this kind of thing, I'm afraid that the two monarchs and ministers will not be able to catch up.

"Let's talk to them!"

Cao Cao had no intention of participating.

There are some words, in front of him, those two people will not be stupid enough to say it directly.

Instead of staring at each other all the time.

It's better to let go and see what means the other party has, when the time comes, the soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it!

……

It's the day.

When the night was shrouded, Yang Biao entered the palace alone.

At that time, in the Cheng'an Palace, the lights were bright, and the rows of fire candles were swaying, and the firelight illuminated the entire hall.

It was as if even a trace of shadow had been cleared.

Liu Xieping retreated left and right, and let the attendants enter the palace gate, and no one was allowed to approach.

After Yang Biao stepped forward, Liu Xie grabbed Yang Biao and walked to the depths of the hall.

In this effort, only the footsteps between the two could be heard in the hall.

Now that he sees Yang Biao again, Liu Xie's mood is not bad.

Invited Yang Biao into the palace today, he knew that this matter could not be hidden from Cao Cao.

However, now he has no choice.

Now his Cao Cao's power above the court has become more and more prosperous.

And as he grew older, he didn't even have a trace of power.

Above the court, Cao Cao decided with a word, he was the Son of Heaven, but he could only echo the voice!

What is the difference between this scene and when he was in Luoyang and Chang'an, and when he faced Dong Zhuo.

The difference is that he is a little older, but he still does not dare to give birth to any rebuttals.

"Captain, you teach me, how to deal with it now!"

Seeing that there was no one in this hall, Liu Xie already cared about the prestige of the emperor.

Pulling Yang Biao's sleeve, he couldn't help but cry.

Yang Biao trembled, stretched out his hand to comfort Liu Xie's back, opened his mouth but couldn't say anything.

Yang Biao is over half a hundred years old, a person with gray temples, although Liu Xie in front of him is the Son of Heaven, he is only a teenager after all.

This scene is like the grandparents and grandchildren snuggling up to each other.

"It's the minister's incompetence to let His Majesty endure such grievances!"

Yang Biao is a little unbearable after all, on the one hand, he is an old minister of the Han family, and his ancestors have always shared the glory and disgrace of the Han family.

In any case, he was loyal to the Han family and to the Son of Heaven.

On the other hand, he followed Liu Xie all the way to Chang'an, and then returned to the east.

For so many years, he can be regarded as watching this Liu Xie grow from a young child to a teenager today.

To put it bluntly, sometimes he looks at Liu Xie as if he is looking at his own children and grandchildren.

Between the two, although they are monarchs and ministers, they still have some friendship over the years.

Now, there is no way for him to bring down Cao Cao, even if His Majesty asks him to return to the court, it will not make the slightest sense.

"Your Majesty, if you want to deal with that Cao Cao now, the only way to find someone who can match him is to balance him!"

"In terms of military strength, there is a great general Yuan Shao, whose ability is no less than Cao Cao, but looking at his people, I am afraid that he is the same as Cao Cao!"

"Moreover, there is one person in my heart, if Your Majesty can get the help of this person, maybe you can also fight against Cao Cao!"

Yang Biao spoke, and Liu Xie raised his sleeves and wiped his face.

"Who are you talking about?"

Hearing Liu Xie's question, Yang Biao took a deep breath.

"Drama Yu, drama Fengyi!"

Although Xi Yu's attitude towards the family is not very good, in terms of axioms, Yang Biao still respects Xi Yu's ability.

If this person can stand on the side of the Son of Heaven, with the ability of the other party, he may be able to change the current situation of the Son of Heaven!

At least, it can also separate the feelings between Cao Cao and Xi Yu.
