In Xudu, Cao Cao was enjoying the delicious and delicious food in his mansion, and there were singing and dancing beside him to cheer him up. These were his pleasures as a victor, that is, a high-ranking person. I think Cao Cao was elected as a filial and honest person since he was 20 years old and entered the capital of Luoyang as a Lang. Soon, he was appointed as the Northern Quarter of Luoyang. Luoyang was the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the place where the royal relatives and nobles lived, and it was difficult to manage. As soon as Cao Cao took office, he declared the ban, strictly enforced the laws and regulations, and made more than ten five-color sticks, hanging around the yamen. "If anyone violated the ban, they would kill them." Jian Tu, the uncle of the eunuch Jian Shuo, who was favored by the emperor, violated the ban and walked at night, and Cao Cao showed no mercy and executed Jian Tu with the five-color sticks.

Although Cao Cao was promoted and demoted by secretly, his reputation had already emerged.

Later, the ups and downs and the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Cao Cao was determined to support the Han Dynasty and be a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty. At that time, the world was in chaos. First, the incident occurred when the governor of Jizhou, Wang Fen, joined forces with local tyrants such as Xu You in Nanyang, Zhou Jing of Pei State, and planned to depose Emperor Ling and establish the Marquis of Hefei. Wang Fen and others wanted Cao Cao to join them, but were rejected by Cao Cao.

Emperor Ling of Han died, Prince Liu Bian ascended the throne, and Empress Dowager He was in charge of the court to rule. General He Jin wanted to take advantage of Emperor Ling's death. The eunuch lost power to kill the eunuch party, but did not obtain the support of the empress dowager. So He Jin summoned Dong Zhuo, who was then the governor of Bingzhou, to enter the capital and coerced Empress Dowager He to agree. However, this move alarmed the enemy. Before Dong Zhuo arrived in the capital, He Jin had been murdered by eunuchs. In September of the same year, Dong Zhuo entered the capital and took charge of the government affairs. He deposed the Shao Emperor of Han to King Hongnong, and changed his younger brother King Chenliu to Emperor Xian of Han, and sent someone to poison the Queen Hongnong and his son, claiming to be the Grand Tutor, and he was specialized in the government affairs. Seeing that Dong Zhuo was acting rebelliously, Cao Cao changed his name and fled from the capital Luoyang. Cao Cao arrived in Chenliu and "spent his family wealth and united the Yi army", and the first to advocate the Yi army to call on heroes from all over the world to attack Dong Zhuo.

Later, in the first month, Yuan Shu and others jointly recommended Yuan Shao, the prefect of Bohai, as the leader of the alliance, and Cao Cao served as the acting general of Fenwu to participate in the fight against Dong's army. In February, Dong Zhuo, who was defeated by the coalition forces, forced Emperor Xian to move the capital to Chang'an. He burned the palace, dug up the royal tombs, and plundered the people, causing Luoyang to be desolate and withered within 200 miles. The Guandong coalition forces were afraid of the combat power of Dong Zhuo's elite Liangzhou army, and no one dared to advance to Guanxi, and all stationed troops in the area of ​​the sour jujube. Cao Cao believed that Dong Zhuo "burned the palace, robbed the emperor, and shocked the country", so he should take the opportunity to fight with him.

, and then led his army westward alone. Cao Cao went to the Bian River in Xingyang and confronted Dong Zhuo General Xu Rong. Due to the huge disparity in the number of soldiers, Cao Cao was defeated, most of the soldiers were killed and injured, and he was also injured by the ravine arrows. Fortunately, he was rescued by his cousin Cao Hong and survived. Back to Soyzao, Cao Cao suggested that the troops occupy important places and then divide their troops westward into Wuguan and besiege Dong Zhuo. The generals of the Kanto refused to follow. The Kanto army was called to fight Dong Zhuo, but in fact they each had their own ulterior motives and intended to develop their own power. Soon, friction broke out between the various armies and fought against each other. The joint army was disbanded here.

From that moment on, Cao Cao had the idea that the world no longer belonged to the Liu family, and the Han Dynasty had lost its dear and pursued it together.

But it's just an idea.

Cao Cao was defeated in Dongjun by Du, Bailuo, Guan Gu, Fuluo and others, and Yuan Shao recommended him as the prefect of Dongjun.

He defeated the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou and obtained the position of the governor of Yanzhou. In the spring, Cao Cao pursued and defeated Yuan Shu, Heishan Army, and the Southern Xiongnu in Kuangting for 600 miles. Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou, led his army to attack Rencheng in southern Yanzhou, and Cao Cao led his army to conquer Tao Qian and conquered more than ten cities in Xuzhou.

The scenery is endless for a while.

If it weren't for Liu Bei and Lu Bu's intervention in succession later, Xuzhou would have been Cao Cao's, but he laughed and said that the last one was Cao Cao, and Xuzhou is now in Cao Cao's hands.

Even so, Cao Cao still did not forget to welcome Emperor Han. At the beginning, Cao Cao planned to teach the regime to Emperor Han. He just wanted to be a loyal minister and to be a wolf-guxu for the Han Dynasty to pacify the world. However, Emperor Han and the ministers and gentry around Emperor Han were too anxious. The Feng family and the Dong family all wanted to take it on his behalf. After repeated small actions, they even wanted to kill him. Even if Cao Cao could bear it, Cao Cao's subordinates could not bear it. This was why Cao Cao used the emperor to command the princes.

Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shu, expelled Lu Bu and Liu Bei, and took Xuzhou. Now his mortal enemy Yuan Shao, who was once the boss, lost to him, Cao Cao. Why didn't Cao Cao enjoy it?

After the north is pacified, the Central Plains will be settled again. After so long the royal army will go south, the Han Dynasty will be unified again in the hands of Cao Cao. He is Liu Bang, the Emperor Gaozu of Han, and Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu.

Now, Liu Mang, the King of Shu in Yangzhou, wasn't he confused by his Cao Cao. You want to pacify the Central Plains and dominate the Central Plains, but I won't let you succeed. As soon as his tens of thousands of troops were stationed in Yuzhou, the Yangzhou army stopped moving immediately.

Cao Cao's life was natural and leisurely. Mrs. Bian went back to her good home because of Cao Ang's problems, so Cao Cao was even more uncontrollable.

"Come on, come on, have a drink with me." Cao Cao held the wine glass in his hand and grabbed a pretty girl Yan Wu's arms in his arms.

"Hate it," this pretty girl wanted to give up and made Cao Cao's heart itchy. This is the way to deal with men. The best thing that can't be obtained is always the best. However, this woman also knows the moderation. Who is Cao Cao? That's Cao Sikong. His subordinates have hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses. He can basically be said to be the largest prince in the world. Cherry Little Mouth immediately took a sip of the wine. Before this, she crossed to Cao Cao's mouth. "Prime Minister, I'll feed you."

"Haha!" Cao Cao also put his mouth close, enjoying the wine in his cherry mouth on his mouth, while his hands became unhonest.

Just as Cao Cao was enjoying himself leisurely, a carriage galloped out of his mansion and a middle-aged scholar came down from above.

"Mr. Xun!" The guards in the prime minister's mansion knew this person, and when they saw this person's arrival, they hurriedly got their luggage.

"Where is the lord? Where is the lord?" Xun You asked.

"Report to Lord Xun, the lord is listening to music in Liyuan." A guard stepped forward and said to Xun You.

"In Liyuan?" Xun You frowned and said, "Take me there quickly." Xun You didn't know where Liyuan is. It was just like a music hall, but it was just a place where Cao Cao was only dealing with. This day, it was a blessing that the lord could think of it.

"Mr. Xun, what's the matter? Let's talk about it tomorrow morning. Now, this lord, the lord may not be available." The housekeeper hurried forward and stopped Xun You.

"Tomorrow's morning? Humph, it's probably too late to go tomorrow's morning. Get out of here!" Xun You yelled at the butler.

"This, this!" If you want to say that Cao Cao's housekeeper is also someone around Cao Cao. On weekdays, even some of the marquises in the current dynasty have to call him, but he really dare not be too presumptuous about Xun You, because this person is Cao Cao's confidant.

"If you don't let go, do you want me to use the sword?" Xun You looked angry and said that, he was about to pull out the sword at his waist.

"Hey, Lord Xun, Lord Xun, please be careful, don't be anxious!" The housekeeper was a little panicked, looking at Xun You, didn't look fake. If Xun You were really killed, then the fun would be great. He had no place to cry, and the lord Cao Cao could not kill a top strategist for a servant. "I will take Lord Xun to see the lord, but if the lord doesn't meet, it's not something I can decide."

"Stop talking nonsense, take me to see my lord quickly." Seeing the butler leading the way in front of Xun You, then he took the long sword back.

"Gongda, why are you here?" A strong man outside Liyuan was guarding outside. He was like a door god, awe-inspiring, and the sword in his hand was even more cold. This person was Xu Chu and Xu Zhongkang. Originally, Dian Wei was guarding Cao Cao, but Dian Wei died in the retreat of Wancheng to protect Cao Cao, so it was replaced by Xu Chu.

"Zhongkang, I'm here to report it to my lord!" Xun You saw Xu Chu and clasped his fists and said.

"Is it important?" Xu Chu frowned, "Can you wait for a while?" Xu Chu asked hesitantly. Because Xu Chu stood at the door for a long time, he could naturally hear the movement inside. This lord Cao Cao was just intrigued and was about to carry his gun on his horse. How could you get in at this time?

"How long will it take for a while?" Xun You looked anxious.

"A moment, a moment!" Xu Chu responded to Xun You while listening to the movement inside. Without a few breaths, he heard a sound coming from inside. Then Xu Chu smiled at Xun You and said, "Okay, Gongda, you can go in."

"Huh?" Xun You looked at Xu Chu for no reason. He was not as powerful as a god-refining warrior as Xu Chu, so his hearing was not very good. Just a moment of effort? That was all right? It was simply inexplicable.

"Lord, lord!" Cao Cao inside had already put on his clothes. Xun You came to look for him just now, so naturally someone notified him.

Cao Cao waved his hand, and the pretty woman next to him had obvious redness on her face. She looked at Cao Cao with a resentful look, but then she retreated.

"Is there something important to come to see me?" Cao Cao knew that something should have happened when he saw Xun You. Now the government affairs of the entire Yanzhou are all about Xun You. Guo Jia is sick, and Guo Jia is used to being lazy and doesn't like to go to government affairs.

Seeing Xun You coming, Cao Cao thought that the royal relatives in the court were beginning to restless again. Thinking of this, Cao Cao's eyes appeared murderous intent.

"Lord, there is indeed something important about You coming this time, but he is not in the court at this time." Xun You said anxiously to Cao Cao.

"Not above the court?" Cao Cao frowned. What's the importance of something that's not above the court? Could it be that the two brothers of the Yuan family in the north stopped fighting? Or did Liu Mang, Yangzhou, start attacking his troops?

"Lord, the enemy's troops appeared in the generation of Xu Tian in Wuping!" Xun You said anxiously.

"The enemy's troops?"

They poured into our Yanzhou generation under the banner of Liu Bei in Yuzhou! "Xun You explained.

"Liu Bei's troops? Is it a defeated army? OK, I just say that Liu Da'er is not a good person. Lord, we shouldn't help Liu Bei, what's the matter?" Xu Chu next to him was born with Guo Jia and others, so he had no good impression of Liu Bei because he was with Guo Jia and others.

"The defeated army?" Cao Cao shook his head. If it were just Liu Bei's defeated army, it would not be so simple. Xu Tian and Wuping's generation naturally had his handsome soldiers. If it were the defeated army, they would have been defeated by these county soldiers long ago. Now they should have come to seek credit. Officials are like this. They can report good news but not bad news. They can let Xu Tian and Wuping's officials send a message to Xun You. It's so long that even the defeated army can't handle the county soldiers.

"What do you say about Xu Tian and Wu Ping?" Cao Cao asked Xun You.

"Xu Tian and Wu Ping's officials said that these elite troops and horses under the banner of Liu Bei are strong and powerful. They are all cavalrymen. They have poured into our Yanzhou generation. Looking at the direction, it seems to be heading towards me, Xu Du Chenliu." Xun You said to Cao Cao.

‘It’s all cavalry! “Cao Cao has basically had an idea and knows whose troops are here.

"And Yangzhou also sent a memorial for the lord to read it!" Xun You gave Cao Cao the book in his hand. Originally, these memorials should have been taken care of by the Emperor of Han, but now the Emperor of Han is just like a puppet. Although Cao Cao did not have the name of Emperor of Han, he was doing the work of Emperor of Han.

Cao Cao opened this memorial. It was a memorial, which read the concern of Yangzhou soldiers and horses for His Majesty, but after reading it, Cao Cao did fall to the ground suddenly.

Because it says that the Yangzhou army fought against the rebellion in Fengtian and defeated the Han thief Liu Bei and Nandun Xiangcheng. Liu Bei fought stubbornly and his troops were defeated. He was afraid that these Han thieves would run into Yanzhou in a panic, which might interfere with the Holy Charity. He also hoped that the Han Emperor would ask Cao Sikong to arrange troops to eliminate the defeated troops as soon as possible.

"Haha, hahaha!" Cao Cao's guess was completely true. This was not Liu Bei's defeated soldiers, it was completely the elite among the soldiers in Yangzhou or the soldiers in Yangzhou. If the Bingzhou wolf cavalry was as follows the officials of Wuping and Xu Tian's generation, there were tens of thousands of soldiers, then the Yangzhou army not only sent Bingzhou wolf cavalry, but also the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.

"I really respect my Cao Cao, I really respect my Cao Cao!" Cao Cao's face was full of anger. This was not a memorial. This was a threatening letter, telling you that Cao Cao, your troops should protect your Yanzhou well, otherwise, Liu Bei's defeated army might have gone to Yanzhou.

"Lord, please allow Xu Chu to command the troops and horses to intercept the traitor." Xu Chu asked for battle on the side.

"Intercept? How to intercept?" Cao Cao laughed furiously. You should know that the soldiers sent by Yangzhou are all cavalry, or heavy armored cavalry, with more than 10,000. It can be said that they are very mobile. There are no mountains and roads in Yanzhou and there are many plains.

When Lu Bu invaded Yanzhou from Puyang, Cao Cao was very miserable. Now Lu Bu is here again.

He wanted to pursue the 10,000 heavy armored cavalry to intercept him with more than twice the number of troops, but Cao Cao did not have so many heavy armored cavalry in his hands? Even if there were, Cao Cao would not be willing to leave his life with the Yangzhou army now.

He wanted to keep heavy armored cavalry to pacify the north.

"Then lord, let's let the Yangzhou army rage in our Yanzhou?: Xu Chu was a little dissatisfied.

"What else can I do?" Cao Cao smiled bitterly. "They issued a military order and asked them to come to our residence to discuss matters!"

Cao Cao stood up and sat in the conference hall. Xun You had already told the civil and military officials below what he knew, but these civil and military officials didn't know what to do.

"There are masters in the Yangzhou army!" Cao Cao sighed, "You have Zhang Liang's plan, I have a ladder. You are thick-skinned, so I am shameless. Cao Cao sold dog meat on the head of sheep and blocked the Yangzhou army's attack on the Yuzhou army, making the Yangzhou army unable to advance or retreat. The Yangzhou army simply played shameless and directly shot heavy armored cavalry crossing the river to your Yanzhou territory. He would not rampant. He just marched for you like this, saying it was Liu Bei's defeated army, but if they were asked to rush to Chenliu or Xu Du came, where would Cao Cao's face be put?

"Are you really going to retreat?" Cao Cao was upset. If he retreated, he would not be able to stop the attack of the Yangzhou army as Liu Bei was now. Once Liu Bei was eliminated, then the overlord of the Central Plains would be Yangzhou.

"If we don't retreat, our Yanzhou area will be uneasy. If he rushes into Xudu, where will the people and the lord give their face?"

"The lord asked me to tell me, so I would pull out troops and fight him in Yangzhou!" Those who said these words were all military generals.

If he could be beaten, Cao Cao wouldn't fight. He and Yangzhou were both like this, both avoiding war, because they all understood that people knew that one would be killed and one injured in the fight, so the two were avoiding war. Even in the final decisive battle, there would be no enemies around, and no one would want to tear off the face now.

"If it really doesn't work, just withdraw the army. It's still important for our Yanzhou. Liu Bei in Yuzhou is not a good guy. Saving him is just a farmer and a snake. Let them fight. Our army is still because we take Hebei first and then compete for the Central Plains!"

"No, no! Yangzhou now has a climate, and the tail is too big. If we don't curb him now, we will continue to develop. Even if we pacify the north, the overlord of the Central Plains will be Yangzhou and another Yuan Shao at that time. Will we fight another battle of Guandu?"

"What do you think of? Should we let the enemy troops in Yanzhou take a walk?"

"Enough is OK!" Looking at the messy noise below, Cao Cao's headache was recurring. Cao Cao was angry, and the civil and military officials below also closed their mouths.

"I will send our military orders to retreat from Yuzhou and garrison Xu Tian and Wuping for a generation. I will definitely not be able to let the Yuzhou defeated army come to our Yanzhou!" Cao Cao, who said Liu Bei's defeated army, had aggravated his tone. He was so cruel that he was itchy.

"Yes!" The civil and military officials below could only accept the order.
Chapter completed!
