"General! The Prime Minister invites you to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to discuss matters. ”

One day, he was honing the Hundred Birds Chaofeng marksmanship in the mansion, and the old servant shouted outside the martial arts training ground.

"Here we go, go prepare the horses!"

Cao Xin put away the big iron gun, bathed and changed clothes, and rode a tall horse to the prime minister's mansion.

Today's Prime Minister's Mansion is very lively, the civil ministers and military generals are gathered together, Xun Yu, Xun You, Cheng Yu, Dong Zhao, Zhong Xuan, Man Chong, Cao Ren, Shi Lian, Xiahou Dun, Cao Hong, Yu Ban, Le Jin, Han Hao, Xiahou Yuan, Xu Huang, Cao Xiu and other more than 50 people, all of whom are the elite backbones under the Prime Minister, gathered in the main hall.

"The sixth general has arrived!"

When General Cao arrived, the guards at the gate of the hall called their names loudly, and the people in the hall turned their heads in unison and looked at the big man who strode in.

"Uncle Six!"

"Six generals!"

"Brother Ziyuxian!"

Xun You, Cheng Yu, full of favor, Cao Xiu and others got up to greet each other to show their closeness.

"Haha, sorry, I'm late, I have time to drink together.

Haha, of course I'm in for a treat. ”

Cao Xin hugged his fists and greeted him in a circle.

"Ziyu, come and sit here, your place is here."

Xiahou Yuan waved and shouted.

Xiahou Yuan Xiahou Miao is 28 years old, Xiahou Yuan's brother, initially Cao Cao was implicated in the case in Qian County, and was about to be beheaded, Xiahou Yuan took the initiative to replace Cao Cao to go to prison, and was later rescued by Cao Cao, a lifelong friendship.

In 189, Cao Cao Chen Liu's army, Xiahou Yuan followed, because of his brave battles, repeated military exploits, the current Yingchuan Taishou, his wife is the cousin of Mrs. Ding.

"Haha, Brother Miaocai, I haven't seen you for a long time, Yingchuan's Yellow Turban Army has not been caught, do you want to help, I Nanyang, you Yingchuan, our two neighbors, if you need help, say it directly, don't be too polite."

Cao Xin patted Xiahou Yuan's thick arm and laughed.

"Haha, Yingchuan's yellow scarves are just some little thieves, if you don't work for Ziyu, you will never forget Brother Ziyu next time you have something."

Xiahou Yuan laughed.

"Haha, then I'll wait."

After a few jokes, Cao Xin sat down next to Xiahou Yuan, and the first few were Henan Yin Xiahoudun, Heyang Taishou Cao Ren, Li Feng General Cao Hong, Zhong Leader Shi Lian, Zhong Hu Jun Han Hao, etc.

There are two kinds of generals in the Cao army, one is the brother and partner who originally followed Cao Cao to raise troops in Chenliu, the second is Cao Erxiahou, and the young people of Cao's Xiahou family, this kind of general has real positions in the court and the army under the arrangement of Cao Boss.

Yu Ban, Shi Lian, Le Jin, Xu Huang and others later took refuge in the army, and only held military positions in the army, which were generally lower than those of the Cao generals.

Cao Xin belongs to a third party, both the Cao family and the general who later surrendered, at first the identity was a little embarrassing, but with his many meritorious contributions on the battlefield and many times to save the people of the Cao family and the Xiahou family, he gradually gained a firm foothold in the Cao army.

Whew~

Not long after he sat down, there was a rapid gasp at the door, and he saw Guo Jia panting and running in, at the door of the hall, holding his knees and gasping for breath, his handsome cheeks were pale and pale, and he was really white.

"Ah~ Fengxiao is here, it's really rare, this time Fengxiao is not late."

Xun Yu Xun Gongda quipped.

"You're a little bit earlier than me."

Guo Jia glanced at him and complained to Cao Xin, "Cao Ziyu, what are you doing running so fast, I chased you at the door and didn't catch up all the way." ”

"You're too vain, so naturally you can't catch up with me."

Cao Xin chuckled.

Hmph~ Guo Jia wiped his sweat and walked to the civil official camp and sat down, looked at the white feather fan in Cheng Yu's hand, and was about to open his mouth.

"Don't borrow!"

Cheng Yu said.

Hmph~ Guo Jia looked at the squad leader Xun Yu's feather fan again, but he didn't dare to open his mouth.

"Give!"

Xun You took out a small fan the size of a palm from his arms.

"Take your fan."

Guo Jia took a small fan and fanned the wind, turned his head to look at the hall, "Everyone has arrived, why hasn't the prime minister come yet, is his waist twisted?" ”

Portuguese tart Portuguese tart ~ Xu Chu, the new commander of the guard, strode out and shouted,

"The prime minister has arrived!"

The crowd stopped talking and stood up to greet them.

Prime Minister Cao Cheng slowly walked out from behind the hall with his hands behind his back, glanced at the military generals on both sides of the hall, and saw that Cao Ziyu and Guo Fengxiao were not late, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Meet the Prime Minister!"

The crowd bowed their hands.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please take a seat!"

Boss Cao waved his big sleeves and sat down in the main seat in front of him.

"Wen Ruo, you can tell me about the situation."

"Yes, Prime Minister!"

Xun Yu got up and walked to the middle of the hall and bowed to everyone, talking about the current situation.

From the year before last to this year, there was a severe drought in the Central Plains, and there was a great famine in Yangzhou, Yuzhou and other places.

Due to the implementation of the tuntian system in the Yuzhou area of Yanzhou, soldiers and peasants were used to cultivate wasteland in order to obtain military supplies and tax grain, and the harvest in the past two years was good, and the degree of famine was lighter.

And Yuan Shu was not so lucky, the drought in Huainan area, the grain production was reduced, and Lu Bu deceived 300,000 grains, which led to a worse situation in Huainan, and the army also lacked grain and grass, so Yuan Shu sent people to borrow grain from Luo Jun of Xiangguo of Chen State in Yuzhou.

The state of Chen is one of the nine counties of Yuzhou, bordering Yuanshu in Huainan.

Due to the fact that Liu Chong, the king of Chen Guojun, and Luo Jun of Xiangguo are more capable, from the Yellow Turban Rebellion to the present, they have almost never experienced war, and Luo Jun of Xiangguo often takes in refugees from other places.

Over the past few years, Chen Guowu has been rich in people, with more than 83,000 households, which is not worse than Yingchuan County, the largest county in Yuzhou.

Hearing that Yuan Shu wanted to borrow food, Luo Jun naturally did not agree, and then Yuan Shu sent assassins to pretend to be representatives of the victims who had been relieved by Chen Guo, and came to Luo Jun's residence with wine and meat, and toasted a glass of rice wine in front of him to show his gratitude to Luo Xiang.

Luo Jun didn't know what a ploy it was, so he took the wine glass and drank it down, and soon became poisoned and was killed by the assassins.

Then Yuan Shu raised 50,000 troops, attacked Chen State overnight, broke through Chen County, killed Chen King Liu Chong, frantically searched for food, looted property, and provoked the anger of the heavens and people.

"The prime minister is the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, the traitor Yuan Shu plundered Chen Guo and killed King Chen and Luo Guoxiang, this move is a big rebellion, hurts heaven and reason, and the prime minister raises troops to crusade, conforms to the will of the people, and kills many birds with one stone."

After Xun Yu finished speaking, he retreated.

Cao Xin smacked his lips secretly when he heard this, he used to see the victims of the disaster toasting foreign leaders, so he thought about whether he could poison the wine, and when he heard Yuan Shu's method of assassinating Luo Jun, he found out that this kind of thing had been done two thousand years earlier, talent.

"Do you understand everything?"

Prime Minister Cao looked at the generals present.

"Understood, Prime Minister, the last general is willing to lead the army to the Chen State to crusade against the traitor Yuan Shu."

Cao Hong jumped up and yelled.

"Prime Minister! The last general is going to fight! ”

"Prime Minister, the last general will share the worries of the Prime Minister!"

Hulala~ Cao Ren, Shi Lian, Xiahou Xuan, Yu Ban, Le Jin, Xiahou Yuan, Xu Huang and other generals all stood up and shouted loudly to lead troops to fight Yuan Shu.

Cao Xin was stunned, I was stunned, why are you all up, he quickly got up and yelled,

"Prime Minister, give the last general 10,000 soldiers and horses, and the last general will be able to break the traitor Yuan Shu and capture Yuan Shu to dance for you."

"Prime Minister, as long as the last general has 5,000 soldiers and horses, he will be able to repel Yuan Highway."

Cao Hong yelled.

The other generals glanced at each other and immediately reported the number, some 10,000, some 8,000, and some 5,000, regardless of the number of people, their attitudes were very correct.

Cao Xin gritted his teeth, he had to be ruthless, "Prime Minister, as long as the last general has 3,000 soldiers and horses, he will be able to defeat the Yuan army and repel Yuan Shu, and the last general will dare to make a military order." ”

"Hiss~"

Everyone looked at him in shock, you are too ruthless, there is no room at all.

"Huh~, haha, interesting, so interesting."

Guo Fengxiao hugged his stomach and laughed, and Xun You next to him also covered his mouth with a small fan and laughed.

"Fengxiao, be quiet!"

Xun Yu glanced at Guo Jia and Xun Yu lightly, the two of them pursed the corners of their mouths, and bracketed their faces to watch the liveliness of the generals.

"Okay, don't fight."

Cao Cao rubbed his forehead and said, "Benxiang is going to personally lead the troops to the Chen State to crusade against the traitor Yuan Highway, Wen Ze, Wen Qian, and Gongming!" ”

"The last general!"

Yu Ban, Yu Wenze, Le Jin, Le Wenqian, Xu Huang, and Xu Gongming got up.

"The three of you will immediately reorganize the army, wait for the food, grass and ordnance to be ready, and go to Chen County with the prime minister to defeat Yuan Shu."

"Yes, Prime Minister!"

The three generals left the chamber with their fists clenched.

"Yuan let Zilian!"

"The last general!"

Xiahoudun and Cao Hong got up.

"The two of you lead the troops to guard Yanzhou, keep an eye on Yuan Shao in Jizhou, Yuan Tan in Qingzhou, Liu Bei in Xiaopei, and Lu Bu in Xuzhou, don't let them take advantage of the situation."

"Yes, Prime Minister!"

Xiahoudun and Cao Hong sat down.

"Zixiao, Gongliu!"

"The last general!"

Cao Ren, Cao Zixiao, Shi Lian, Shi Gong, and Liu got up to stand by.

"The two of you are staring at Guanzhong Li Dao and Hanoi Zhang Yang, and once there is a change, act randomly."

"Yes, Prime Minister!"

Cao Ren and Shi Jian sat down.

"Ziyu, Miaocai!"

"The last general!"

Cao Xin and Xiahou Yuan came out of the ranks.

"After the prime minister sent troops, the two of you sat in Nanyang and Yingchuan, once you found out that Liu Biaozhang embroidered troops, try to drag them down, don't let the prime minister have worries."

"Yes, Prime Minister!"

Cao Xin and Xiahou Yuan sat down with their fists folded.

"Zhongde, you are in Ruyin County, if Jingzhou sends troops, you will respond from it."

"Yes, Prime Minister!"

Ruyin is too guarded Cheng Yu and said.

"Gongda Fengxiao, you two will go to Chen County with me."

"Yes, Prime Minister!"

Xun You Guo Jia promised to do so.

"Okay, the others will stay in Xudu and assist Wen Ruo in raising grain and grass equipment to maintain the supply of food and grass for our army."

"Yes, Prime Minister!"

The people stood up and promised.

"Ziyu!"

Prime Minister Cao Cheng finally put his eyes on Cao Xin, "During your defense of Nanyang, you must not be blindly arrogant, send troops to provoke Jingzhou at will, and you must not be complacent, underestimate the Jingzhou soldiers of the Xiliang Army, everything is mainly defensive, and it is your credit to prevent the Jingzhou soldiers from going north. ”

Cao Chengxiang said with a straight face.

"Yes, Prime Minister, the last general promises not to let the Jingzhou soldiers cross Wancheng one step."

Cao Xin said loudly.

I didn't care if I didn't make it to Cao Xin, I remember that after Boss Cao sent troops to Chen Guo, Yuan Shu fled and ran away without fighting, and Boss Cao led 30,000 people to run in vain.

If you go with it, you can't fight, so it's better to go to Nanyang to stay first, recruit troops and buy horses, open a few big ones with Jingzhou, and then turn around and fight Yuan Shu.
