At present, Liu Bei can only follow Chen Gong's plan.

Hearing that there might also be danger in Yecheng, he became cautious, but Chen Gong could take this into account, and Liu Bei thought that the problem would not be very big, and there was a chance to avoid danger.

"My lord, there is one more thing."

Chen Gong thought about it and said, "General Zilong, there is no need to follow us to Yecheng. ”

Liu Bei asked, "What can Zilong do?" ”

Chen Gong said: "Help the lord recruit troops. ”

"Although the Yellow Turbans have been pacified for a long time, the remnants of the Yellow Turbans still exist, such as today's chaos, displaced people are everywhere, these people can become our source of troops."

"The lord's soldiers are all gone in Xudu."

"The soldiers who are following him now are all brought by Zilong by recruiting displaced people, but the number is very small, and it is not enough to help the lord to achieve great things, so he must recruit more soldiers and horses."

He continued.

Liu Bei listened and asked, "What is the source of the grain and grass for the soldiers and horses?" ”

Chen Gong said: "Robbing the grain and grass of grain merchants and bandits, Zilong did this before. Those grain merchants are all businessmen who are not engaged in production, and they can hoard grain and grass during war, they are not kind people, not to mention bandits, and the suppression of bandits is to eliminate harm for the people. ”

The status of businessmen is not high, and in the chaotic environment of the world, even if they rob the businessmen, there will be no problem.

"Is Zilong okay?"

Liu Bei asked.

Liu Bei was excited that Zhao Yun could come to take refuge in him.

Zhao Yun is a fierce general who can fight with Dian Wei, he will not force Zhao Yun to do what he doesn't want to do.

"No problem."

Zhao Yun directly agreed: "I can do everything for the lord." ”

"Good!"

Liu Bei agreed: "The matter of recruiting troops and horses will be handed over to Zilong, Gongtai, will Zilong leave now?" ”

"Leave now."

Chen Gong affirmed: "It is inconvenient for Zilong to appear in front of Yuan Shao, so that Yuan Shao can't see through our strength, so that it is possible to operate." ”

In this case, before going to Yecheng, Zhao Yun and Liu Bei were separated.

Sending Zhao Yun away, Chen Gong has no other arrangements for the time being.

However, when they arrived in Yecheng, they were almost ready to help Yuan Shao open up the second battlefield, as long as they found a suitable time to put it forward.

In Chen Gong's opinion, Yuan Shao is much easier to fool than Cao Cao.

——

Yecheng.

"Lord, we got news from Liu Xuande, he is on his way to Yecheng."

Xu Yu said.

Yuan Shao said casually: "Send someone to pick up and pick up Liu Bei as soon as possible." ”

Frustrated, he said: "Lord, Liu Bei has a certain ambition, we can accept this person, but we must be careful, what he did in Xu Du is enough to prove that this person is restless." ”

Hearing this, Yuan Shao pondered for a moment and thought that his words made sense.

"The lord crossed the river this time, to completely take Yuzhou, Yanzhou and Xuzhou, as well as other areas controlled by Cao Cao, as long as it succeeds, only Jingzhou, Yangzhou, Jiaozhou and Yizhou will be left in the world."

Guo Tu was very rare, and he did not oppose the opinion of Fu Zhu, and said: "If the plan goes well, the lord sits on half of the world, and his momentum and strength are the strongest, and then snatch the jade seal of the country from Cao Cao's hands, it can basically become a big thing." In addition, Liu Bei has done so many things in Xudu, he is definitely ambitious, and he must be cautious not to let him destroy our great cause. ”

"You're right."

Yuan Shao stood up and said confidently: "The four northern states are all in my hands, and when I defeat Cao Cao, Sizhou, Yongzhou and Liangzhou will definitely come to surrender, and the next south and Xichuan are not worth mentioning." ”

Speaking of this, a flash of excitement flashed in his eyes, and he continued: "As long as the jade seal of the country is in hand, what I do is justified." ”

Yuan Shu, that idiot.

The foundation has not yet been firmly established, and as soon as he got the jade seal of the country, he couldn't wait to become the emperor, and was finally beaten.

Yuan Shao thinks that he is not Yuan Shu, and if he is not fully prepared, he will not be easily called emperor if he is not invincible in the world.

But the world is invincible, and it will soon be realized.

As long as Cao Cao is killed, the princes of the world are not his opponents.

"Congratulations, my lord!"

The people around him immediately shouted flattery.

Yuan Shao laughed, and there was a feeling that the whole world was in my hands.

Looking at the world, and it is true, there are not many people who are his opponents.

The only threat is Cao Cao, but this threat will soon be gone, and it won't be long before he will make Cao Cao doubt his life.

——

Cao Cao didn't doubt life yet, but now he has a bit of a headache.

However, after meeting Chen Zhou, the headache was temporarily left behind, and he didn't care at all if he understood what to do next, whether it was boycotted.

So, he sent an order to convene a court meeting.

There was an incident of the edict of the cloth, Liu Xie was very resistant to the court, and he didn't want to meet Cao Cao, but now whether he meets or not, it is up to Liu Xie to decide, Cao Cao said a word, he must go to the court.

Not only Liu Xie came, but the remaining ministers who were killed by Cao Cao also came.

They came to the court, first gave Liu Xie a salute, and then separated on both sides.

"Your Majesty!"

Cao Cao said loudly: "The minister has recently received many resignations from ministers, and the minister has thought about it for a while, since you don't want to assist Your Majesty anymore, and you have your own choice, the ministers have agreed, what does Your Majesty think?" ”

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar among the remaining ministers.

They offered to resign and send Shi home, which was just a means of threatening Cao Cao.

Because he just killed a batch, if they also left, where would Cao Cao still have the manpower to continue to deal with government affairs?

It will lead to a court and fall into a state of chaos and stagnation.

These ministers all expected that Cao Cao would not dare to agree, and might even beg himself to dare to be so arrogant.

Cao Cao was still worried about the remaining ministers, what reason to kill and continue to seize power, since they were tossing like this, and there was a plan given to him by Chen Zhou, he thought it was a good opportunity.

"What, you regret it?"

Before those ministers could speak, Cao Cao asked rhetorically.

Hearing this, all the ministers who proposed Zhishi quieted down and looked at Cao Cao, their eyes full of unhappiness, but they stopped arguing.

I want to see what Cao Cao can do without them.

Scholars have long been monopolized by their families, and the way to become officials is also monopolized by them, and when the time comes, as long as there is a word, those scribes are not willing to be used by Cao Cao at all.

They didn't believe that Cao Cao could still govern this dilapidated court by relying on the Yingchuan scribes.

Seeing that they didn't speak, Cao Cao couldn't understand their thoughts, and said with a smile: "Since you have no other opinions, the matter is so determined, which of you submitted your resignation, come over and hand over the seal ribbon and leave by yourself, what does Your Majesty think?" ”

Liu Xie didn't dare to have any opinions, so he could only agree: "Cao Sikong's approach is very good, just follow this, you can hand over the seal!" ”

Liu Xie spoke, and others couldn't agree if they wanted to.

They don't have the courage to fight Cao Cao to the end on the bright side, but they are ready to watch Cao Cao's jokes when the time comes.

Cao Cao said again: "In addition, the minister has another thing to play." ”

"What else is going on with Cao Sikong?"

Liu Xie was afraid that Cao Cao would play something at every turn, and usually there was nothing good to play, so he couldn't help but agree.

Cao Cao faced Liu Xie and said loudly: "The minister suggested that Taixue be rebuilt, please ask Your Majesty for approval." ”
