So these people don't have a good face.

Not very happy.

But it was a very coincidental thing that it was already spring when they left, and after the snow gradually melted, it was much easier to walk on the roadside.

Xi Yu sent them directly outside the city and returned them.

To be honest, last time, Huang Xu made such a big accident, even if Cao Pi went to the Academy of Sciences, he didn't see anything precious, and even if he did, he only looked at some equipment that they had eliminated.

These things aren't secrets, so they don't hurt.

It's not that Xi Yu hates Huang Xu and them doing that.

Jia Xu followed behind, and on the way back, he whispered to Xi Yu: "Lord, we are already arranging now, after the second son goes back, we will monitor Cao Gong's measures throughout the process!" ”

"He won't have any attitude!"

Xi Yu couldn't help but smile: "Now that I am very important to him, I will definitely not tear my face like this, not to mention that they have no way to clean me up!" ”

Jia Xu sighed: "But if they take the north and the south over there, they may have their hands free to clean us up!" After all, Qingzhou and Xuzhou are already rich! ”

"Something ugly!" Jia Xu's face was distressed: "No matter what they do now, they can only follow behind our ass, if they copy our theories and policies, to be honest, they can also develop!" Then the country can be forever! ”

"But I have to ask!"

Xi Yu smiled: "What if they don't win?" ”

To be honest, it's not that Jia Xu hasn't thought about this problem, he really doesn't think about it.

After all, there is a huge disparity in strength.

Hundreds of thousands of heroes are marching south, and everyone knows how terrifying the energy is!

What's more, over there in Jingzhou, Liu Biao and the two brothers of the Sun family are almost abolished, and it is difficult to have combat power comparable to Cao Jun, Liu Biao and Sun Ce also have a very big grudge, they only need to take it step by step, and they can sit back and relax.

But he didn't understand why his lord's guild thought this way.

Thought Cao Cao would lose.

"Why are you so confident?"

"You don't need to know why."

Jia Xu's brows furrowed tightly, and there were question marks in his heart.

Xi Yu smiled slightly: "I don't think the south is full of waste!" They are not mediocre people who can master these resources today! ”

"Let's take a look!"

Jia Xu's expression was a little broken, and he couldn't figure out what it meant.

There is no one left in the south.

All the Jingzhou scholars have moved to Xuzhou, Qingzhou, and they have shown a very prosperous situation, and they will no longer contribute to that side.

"Do you really think that's the case?"

"It's true," Xi Yu smiled, his expression was determined: "They won't lose, not to mention that the soldiers on Cao Cao's side are also arrogant, if they can still win?" Is that fair? ”

"The battle that broke out in the giant deer in ancient times, you can think about it, why Xiang Yu was able to kill the nearly 100,000 army carried by Zhang Han with only a few thousand people!"

"Do you think this is something that courage can explain?"

"Surely not!"

"This is only possible because they have one heart!"

"All forces are united, work together!" Xi Yu's tone was very flat: "This is the case in the south now, if you don't unite, you will definitely die a miserable death!" Even if they surrender, they will not end well! ”

"So they can only think about cooperation, and maybe there is a way to solve a little crisis! It won't be so easy to surrender! ”

"But we can also sit and watch the tiger fight and have a good taste!"

Time passes by bit by bit.

It didn't take long for the year 202 to come.

In this year, Cao Jun's materials did not have any problems, and he directly captured Bingzhou, and then laid down Chang'an, which directly shocked the princes in Guanzhong, Ma Teng and Han Sui had no choice but to grit their teeth and unite with Xiliang, and stubbornly resist in Jincheng and Zuli and other areas.

Moreover, Xiliang has also developed various weapons, which may not be inferior to Cao Jun.

Moreover, there are many fierce generals on Ma Teng's side, such as Ma Chao, who was admired by everyone when he was a teenager in the forest of Xiliang Guifeng.

Under their leadership, the upper and lower hearts were united in Xiliang, and it was not so easy to be attacked, and they even started a tug-of-war with Cao's army over there, trying to recapture the state.

At this time, Cao's army had already retreated its soldiers and concentrated all its manpower in the north.

Their current idea is to capture Youzhou and attack and oppress Youzhou, this winter, most of the cities in Youzhou have been breached, and Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi can only resist hard.

It was a bit of an effect, at least to stabilize the north, but the inhabitants felt panic and confusion because of it.

The two brothers of the Yuan family were depressed and uncomfortable, and even due to the long-distance attack, their health was not good, and they died a lot, to be honest, many people suspected that this side could only last for a year and a half, and then the entire territory of Youzhou would be in the hands of Cao Cao.

Because Cao Cao's grain and grass are really sufficient, to an outrageous point.

The knowledge of the march is full of food, forget it.

Conquering the city can still not take action against the people, and even open the warehouse to release the grain, so that the people have a chance to live.

So in 230, a period of time after spring ploughing, Youzhou fell, and of Yuan Shao's three children, only one Yuan Shang stayed, and Yuan Xi ran away to the outside of the plug and defected to the forces there.

To be honest, this is also a very sad and ridiculous thing, becoming an ordinary herdsman.

And, Yuan Tan, this is a direct suicide, and all the people belong to Cao Cao.

And this year, according to statistics, Cao Cao's infantry has 300,000 troops, and the elite troops have more than 300,000, not to mention that the armament, food and grass are extremely sufficient.

And now on the map of the north, there is no place that is not to worry about everything, only a small area is still resisting.

Dahan has also entered a prosperous stage.

The Son of Heaven also issued an edict to reward meritorious deeds.

The people in Qingzhou and Xuzhou have sealed some useless positions, and Xi Yu is only slightly promoted, and there are no other benefits.

Cao Cao didn't dare to touch those two places now, but he already had an idea.

The history of Jizhou's thorn is Xiahoudun.

And the important official positions in the vicinity of Yangzhou, Cao Ren, Cheng Yu and others hold them, and their forces will gradually spread to Yangzhou and other places, attacking the city south at any time.

The places where they stationed their troops were Yingchuan and Runan in Yuzhou.

They can do anything to Jingzhou at any time, and in addition to this matter, the same is true for Nanyang County.

And Cao Cao finally set his sights on the south.

However, it is impossible to fight, and it will take at least a year or two to fight.

Cao Cao is now also facing a situation.

He had to make a choice!

In the autumn of the same year, at the time of the autumn harvest, Qingzhou and Xuzhou took stock of their income, which can be regarded as a new brilliance!

The development of commerce makes people feel jaw-dropping, and even, they have some Hu tribes to trade, and they have harvested a lot of rare things.

Even the city wall has been built ten zhang higher because of this, which is even more powerful than the previous Shouchun.

As for Xiao Peisheng's side, it has also become a giant city, which can accommodate millions of residents, and the city walls are so high that Dalian catapults can't take them.

This year's pace of development has also far exceeded everyone's expectations.

Or is it because the money bank is very profitable, and even, the living standards of the residents have improved because of this.

Everyone tasted the sweetness, and naturally they were willing to save money, and Xi Yu could be regarded as able to withdraw a large number of fortunes.

He can go to various regions to buy all kinds of materials, such as timber from Jiangdong and ore from Sichuan and Shu, so the speed of development on Xiyu's side will be much faster.

And one day, Zhuge Liang and Guo Jia walked directly into the palace-like grand government office, and walked up the stairs step by step through the stone steps.

"Did you get any message?"

When leaving, Zhuge Liang didn't forget to ask Guo Jia, and his expression was very narrow.

"It's a good time."

Guo Jia smiled in his eyes, feeling that everyone probably had news, and this was also an opportunity that they had been waiting for for a long time.

It's finally time to wait!

In short, this year Cao Cao has been testing the emperor's bottom line, and he has gone to court with a sword without taking into account any rules.

This matter has also spread all over the country at a rapid speed.

Many people understand that this is a temptation of Cao Cao.

He's about to embark on his journey to dominate the world.

Especially after Xi Yu, Zhuge Liang, and Guo Jia came, Jia Xu was already waiting there.

The three of them saluted each other and ventilated to each other, and only then did they enter the main hall at the same time, while Xi Yu was still reading the news.

"You all know, right?"

Xi Yu asked casually, but he didn't have to think about it, the three people in front of him definitely knew.

Chen Yuanlong was also waiting there, Chen Jia had now completely belonged to Xi Yu, and there were also many young people in the clan who were serving as some low-level officials.

Everyone is standing well.

After a while, Xi Yu asked again: "What are you going to think of Cao Cao's affairs?" ”

Jia Xu said directly: "He is completely subverting the rules, how can a qualified prime minister make such an arrogant act!" Not only will he be toma by the princes, but even everyone will be given the opportunity and reason to clean him up! ”

"They will even say that he is not waiting for the king, but under house arrest!"

Guo Jia almost thought the same thing, and his eyes were full of anger: "He's just usurping the Han!" ”

"That's right, it's a usurpation!"

There was nothing wrong with Zhuge Liang's expression, but his words were very serious: "We should also explicitly oppose it!" ”

Xi Yu laughed after hearing this: "I received a letter yesterday. ”

"He wanted me to be Sikong."

"Absolutely not, this is a blatant co-optation!"

"If the lord agrees, we will almost stand on the opposite side of the world!"

"Even, there will be problems with the ground and fluid we have laid!"

Xi Yu laughed, his strength is now more refined than before, and he has not become weaker at all.

"And I want to tell you that he also wants me to meet Xun Yu and become the third prince at the same time! Xun Yu's letter, I also read it just now. ”

"But Xun Yu won't let me agree to this matter!"

"To be honest, this matter has to be decided by me personally, but Duke Cao didn't tell me at all, and directly let me get the knighthood, you should understand what the situation is, right?"

Although Zhuge Liang and Jia Xu's people understood Xi Yu's temperament very well, they didn't say much at this time.

"I'm going to find a pen and paper!"

Jia Xu's eyes lit up, and then said, Jia Ji also followed to help, planning to write an article and send it to Xuchang.

Xun Yu's words, Xi Yu knew what this person thought, he would never do such a thing, and he would not approve of Cao Cao.

But Xi Yu didn't know why Xun Yu changed his face so quickly!

Maybe it's because his son can't handle it, right?

Cao Cao's operation, in fact, is a kind of etiquette, if it can be done well, you can smoothly become an official and become one of the three dukes!

And this day, it is estimated that it is not too far away.

After having the title of duke, he can "build a state", and historically, he established the so-called Wei State in the Yecheng area.

And 213 years in history. That is, in the next ten years, the Son of Heaven named Cao Cao as the Duke of Wei, and then added Jiuxi, and his original status did not change at all.

And in the summer of that year, in July, Cao Cao established the Wei State, which directly became the state of China, and even vaguely surpassed the Han Dynasty.

But this was ten years ago, why did it come so early?

But the reason why Cao Cao did this was also for the sake of his children and grandchildren.

The people behind him would never be able to complete these processes, but he had the ability, so even if he was scolded, he could only grit his teeth and finish it.

This kind of behavior is actually embezzling the foundation of the Han Dynasty and occupying the magpie's nest.

In this way, the nobles have nothing to say, and those who do not obey them will be divided and disintegrated and slowly disappear.

Then the division of interests begins.

Actually, it's not that complicated.

However, Xi Yu will definitely not be so easy to belong to Cao Cao, what Xi Yu wants is to hope that those loyal ministers will become his subordinates, as for the rest, he doesn't think much about it.

Because if he really threw himself on Cao Cao's side, it was still unknown how the clan would treat him.

Whether he will survive or not is a question.

And Xi Yu's family did not get up, Gan Mei and Mi only gave birth to two children at the beginning of this year, and Lu Lingqi also gave birth to a child.

It's not time to nurture them yet.

He didn't want to fight this and that with Cao Cao.

Three days later,

An urgent letter from Xuzhou arrived in Xun Yu's hand.

Xun Yu directly handed over the letter and the above table to Cao Cao, and read it out in front of everyone.

They all chose to refuse.

To be honest, this is just a specific process, and you have to refuse it before you agree, and it is best to push it three or four times, and reluctantly agree to make your reputation better.

However, Cao Cao felt that it was nothing for him to refuse, but Xun Yu and Xi Yu refused, and he felt a little angry.

Those were two of his more trusted men.

"I definitely want to refuse at this time, Wen Ruo, you don't need to be so impatient."

Cao Cao laughed.

And Sima Yi and others were also persuading over there.

If you don't get this done now, it may be troublesome later.

"Let's disperse first, since we have already refused, we will discuss it later."

Cao Cao asked everyone to leave first, leaving only some clan relatives, such as Xiahoudun and Cao Ren.

They have just returned from their own territory, and they are also Cao Cao's close subordinates, so they can naturally be open, and they have related interests, so naturally they will not oppose Cao Cao.

To be honest, Cao Cao was calmer, but he also regretted it a little in his heart, he still remembered one thing now, Xi Yu had told him before.

"You and I are both Han Chinese, why does Jiangshan have to be surnamed Liu?"

Cao Cao agreed with this sentence.

Now this big man is no longer in the hands of the Liu family, and even if it weren't for him, Liu Xie might have died a long time ago.

You can't even live a life of luxury.

However, due to the situation on the clan side, Xi Yu has gradually distanced himself from him.

If Xi Yu is still by his side and still has a close relationship with him, he will definitely not choose to refuse.

To tell the truth, Cao Cao only got the support of one of them, and he was able to successfully become an official and a knight, and even be crowned a king.

It will be easier for your children and grandchildren in the future.

But now it's so difficult.

Cao Cao also asked the few clan relatives in front of him: "What do you think now?" ”

Xiahou raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "If we make it mandatory, it will definitely be a little troublesome and lose people's hearts!" ”

Cao Ren nodded and said, "That's true." ”

Cao Cao was a little helpless in his heart, and said with a smile: "To be honest, why are you so cowering now?" I never saw such a frustration at the beginning! ”

Cao Ren and Xiahoudun exchanged glances, and they were quite depressed in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say anything more, so they could only endure it.

"Alright, I have a way! It is not an overnight matter to add nine tin, you go back first, and then we will discuss it after three months! ”

At that time, we have to solve this matter no matter what, and if we don't do it well, we won't be able to fight for the world!" ’

Cao Cao stood with his hands in his hands, his eyes were arrogant and cold.

The expressions of those Cao family relatives also softened a little, and they naturally hoped that Cao Cao's side would get better and better.

Cao Cao not only became the head of the Cao family, but also became the uncrowned emperor.

He is really ranked as the third duke, and it will be easier to send troops.

After a while, Cao Cao set his eyes on Xi Zhicai: "Zhicai, my family Xian'er is about the same age now, send her directly to Xuzhou and marry Fengyi as a concubine!" ”

"This?"

Cao Cao's words made Cao Ren and the others a little surprised, how could they let the prime minister's own daughter become a concubine?

"He Jing has a descendant named He Jingshu, now she is in her prime, smart and beautiful, you send her over and marry Xi Yu together!"

"In addition to this matter, seal the two of them! Tentatively set at 3,000 households! ”

Cao Ren didn't say much, and Xiahoudun was a little anxious: "Meng De, why should we be afraid of them, if we really hesitate and entangle, it is better to kill them directly, no matter how powerful Xi Yu is, he is only single-handed, how can there be any ten thousand enemies!" ”

Cao Cao smiled slightly, his eyes were determined: "Xi Yu is really an enemy of ten thousand people!" And he is young and strong now, so don't provoke him! ”

"Do as I say."

"Yes!"
