At this time, Cheng Yu's expression was solemn, and he said coldly: "Zhou Lang's strategy was originally the best of both worlds, the only deficiency is General Haobai's five thousand elite soldiers, but it can be tens of thousands of troops, so I'm afraid it's not appropriate." ”

Haobai looked stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, thank you for looking down on the soldiers under my command, since this is the case, I only bring a thousand soldiers, so it's no problem." ”

Cao Cao, who had been slightly closing his eyes, finally opened his eyes and said resolutely: "In this case, Cao will act according to Zhou Lang's plan, and I hope you will not forget that you are a minister of the Han Dynasty, keep your promises, and restrain your subordinates." ”

No matter what doubts there were, everyone agreed.

......

Cao Cao led a group of cadres out of the "palace" and returned to the temporary mansion in the east of the city sullenly.

At today's meeting, he was the hardest hit.

Liu Xie not only gave him a problem, but also a demonstration of Chiguoguo, which made the princes of the three roads be rewarded, which was obviously to warn him that Cao Mengde must be cautious and cautious in his actions, and must not have different intentions, otherwise his son of heaven can let all the soldiers and horses destroy Yuan Shu, and they can also let them destroy you Cao Cao.

I think that in this battle, he defeated Yuan Shu's main army with an army of 100,000 troops, and his feats were remarkable, but in the end, he was robbed of the limelight by Haobai, not to mention, and he didn't get anything, plus he was put on a table by Liu Xie, so how not to be depressed.

It was night, and in Cao Cao's wing, the lights were on until the third watch late at night, and it was still endless.

"Lord, Cheng Yu is not convinced, I waited for the loss of soldiers and lost the generals, exhausted the money and food, but in the end ended up in such an embarrassing situation. Cheng Yu's face was full of gloom and dissatisfaction.

Cao Cao, who was standing by the window with his back hand, looked up at the window and said lightly: "Why bother with temporary gains and losses, it is not so simple for Haobai to swallow Yuan Shu's territory alone, I have already occupied most of Yuzhou, although there was an agreement before, but now I want to let it out, it is impossible." ”

"Besides, Sun Jian is now occupying Jiangdong, which originally belonged to Yuan Shu's territory, Sun Jian will not let it out, you must know that he was originally Yuan Shu's general, if he gives Jiangdong out, he will have no territory at all, not to mention that now there is Liu Bei who wants a piece of territory, this matter is even more complicated. ”

"At that time, the official will appoint you as the pastor of Yuzhou, so that the entire Yuzhou, you can control most of it, and then, first conquer Lu Bu, occupy Xuzhou, as long as there is no Lu Bu, Qingzhou can also be simply occupied, so that the official can sit on the Sili, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou and other five states, these five states are the land of the Central Plains, over time, you can have a million soldiers, and then it will be stronger than Yuan Shao, who occupies the four northern states. ”

As soon as he spoke, Cheng Yu's eyes lit up, and he said convincingly: "The lord is eloquent, but Cheng Yu is not as good!"

Cao Cao turned around slowly and smiled: "It's not early, Zhongde should go and rest as soon as possible!"

Cheng Yu stopped talking and slowly retreated.

......

The sound of horses' hooves is urgent, and the dust is all over the sky.

Hao Bai led a thousand cavalry to gallop ahead of the other three-way army, far ahead.

Xudu, the blue-gray Bianliang city wall, winds out, I don't know how far it is.

The market in the city is full of people's noise.

In the north palace of the imperial city, which is surrounded by the bustling market, there is a new royal garden.

There can be several miles in the garden, and in the garden, the flowers have withered, but there are cold plums blooming little by little.

A young man, with clear eyebrows and clear eyes, plump as jade, wearing a white jade crown, a scarlet shirt, big sleeves fluttering, looking straight like a fairy in the people, but also very brisk, surrounded by everyone, tiger steps and dragons, while walking with a smile.

Between the eyebrows, there is a lot of joy, and you can't hide it.

This young man is the last king of the Han Dynasty, the twenty-fourth emperor of the two Han Dynasty, and the puppet Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty in history.

Although he was only fourteen or fifteen years old at this time, he was full of ups and downs, first being fiddled with by Dong Zhuo, and then being bullied by Li Dao and Guo Yan in turn, and finally fled miserably to Luoyang, almost died on the road, and now fell into the hands of the ambitious Cao Cao.

The long-term puppet career has made his face a little more mature and stoic that does not match his actual age, but at this moment, his demeanor is all idle and elegant.

In a pavilion, he closed his eyes and recuperated, and there was a few cases in front of him, and the delicacies carefully fired by the four-color imperial dining room on the table were waiting for the opposite side.

It was none other than Haobai, the Great Han Hussar General, who was waiting for him.

......

Hao Bai came straight to the pavilion under the leadership of several soldiers.

As soon as I walked into the corner twenty or thirty steps away in front of Xinghan Pavilion, as soon as I looked up, I saw a person standing up, as if he was about to meet him, but he saw that the person next to him seemed to say something, and sat down again.

As soon as Haobai saw the appearance of that person, he knew in his heart that he was the great man who was a puppet in history, and when he saw Liu Xie's excited appearance, he couldn't help but feel funny in his heart.

For Haobai, he has seen a lot of emperors, and this time he came to see Liu Che just because he was bored.

And Liu Che, who met Haobai, was also depressed, after all, not to mention that he was just a puppet now, even if he was the real emperor, Haobai would not be very respectful to him.

This couldn't help but make Liu Che think that Haobai was the kind of person who was worse than Cao Cao, and in the end, the meeting between the two sides could be said to be unhappy.

......

In Sikong Mansion, Cao Cao was drinking with Cheng Yu and others in the mansion, and his face was gloomy.

The soldiers and horses of the princes of the Three Roads occupied the south gate of Xudu, making Cao Cao very passive.

The soldiers and horses of the princes, although they gathered at the south gate, but there were also many soldiers who took the opportunity to sneak into the city, took the opportunity to make trouble, disturbed the people, and even fought with his subordinates.

For this reason, he deliberately increased the defenders on the periphery of the palace, but his heart was still unsteady.

He only hoped that the little emperor Liu Xie would reward the princes for their merits as soon as possible, and let the princes withdraw their troops and leave as soon as possible, but Liu Xie didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, and there was no movement for several days.

A personal soldier hurriedly rushed in and said hurriedly: "Lord Qi, the palace has come to report, Your Majesty has summoned General Haobai." ”

Cao Cao's face changed instantly, and after thinking for a while, he immediately shouted: "Let the good students in the palace investigate, and report it immediately, there must be no mistakes!"

Cheng Yu saw that Cao Cao's face had become extremely ugly, and couldn't help but comfort: "Haobai won the first merit of breaking the city and killing the rebels in this battle, it is reasonable for His Majesty to summon him first, and the lord please be relieved." ”

Cao Cao nodded slightly, his face softened slightly, but his eyes still showed a restless look, and he continued to drink sullen wine, waiting for the palace to continue to spread the news.

I don't know how long it took, Cao Cao was already clearly showing an irritable look, and finally saw that the personal soldier came again.

"My lord, Your Majesty has not had much conversation with General Haobai, and even General Haobai is a little rude to His Majesty and is not very respectful. ”

"Hmm!"

Cao Cao and Cheng Yu glanced at each other, their faces full of incomprehension, but Cao Cao was relieved in his heart.
