Three Kingdoms: From Yinlin to Great Wei Xiongzhu

Chapter 217 Once the little brother, today's rival
Jizhou, Yecheng.

At this moment, Yuan Shao was sitting in the government office, frowning slightly, as if he was in a bad mood.

His army has assembled, but is he heading north to Youzhou?Or go south to Yanzhou!

He hasn't decided yet, he's waiting... waiting for a reply from a certain little brother.

As Jushou said, Yuan Shao had sent envoys to Xuducheng to inform Cao Cao that he wanted Cao Cao to move his capital to Juancheng in Yanzhou. If Cao Cao obeyed, Yuan Shao would send his troops north to fight Gongsun Zan in Youzhou.

If he is not obedient, then... Yuan Shao doesn't mind going south early to beat Cao Cao, the little brother!

Let him figure out who is the real big brother in this troubled world.

Now... it's not just the military adviser Jushou who proposes the southern expedition.

At this time, Tian Feng was also in the government office, repeatedly remonstrating and admonishing him.

"Yuan Gong, Cao Cao has great ambitions, and now he has seized the opportunity to welcome the emperor. Now...while his foothold is not stable, if he can't be strangled, it may become a big problem in the future!"

Tian Feng's tone became more and more dignified... "Yuan Gong sits in the three prefectures of Qing, Ji, and Bing, but now Cao Cao also sits in the three prefectures of Si, Yan, and Xu... If this development continues, I am afraid that Cao Cao will become a climate, and Yuan Gong does not want to Can Cao Cao grow bigger?"

Tian Feng earnestly persuaded...

Speaking of which, he and Jushou both belong to the Jizhou talent camp, so... many ideas will stand on the same front.

Especially when it comes to welcoming the Son of Heaven!

It's just...their old enemy, the Ruying faction, how could...don't object?
In the past, he objected when welcoming the emperor, but now... when Cao Cao greets the emperor, he will object even more.

really…

Guo Tu bowed his hands. "Yuan Gong, now that Gongsun Zan in the northern region has lost consecutive battles, he is only one breath away from conquering Youzhou. The centipede is dead but not stiff. If we give up Gongsun Zan to attack Cao Cao at this time, wouldn't it be a chance for Gongsun Zan to breathe? The northern border is restless, adding more powerful enemies? The north and the south fight at the same time, this is a foolish plan, a way to bring disaster!"

Guo Tu is a very pure person...

He has only one purpose, and that is to fight for the right to speak in Yuan Ying's circle of counselors!

Therefore, as long as it is a proposal from Jushou and Tian Feng, a group of talented people from Jizhou, no matter whether it is good or bad, he will flatly deny it and attack it repeatedly.

Even if it's a clever plan, it makes sense!

"Guo Junshi..." Jushou took a step forward. "I have said many times that the north should be flat, but the south should also be fixed!"

"You also mentioned that Gongsun Zan is a centipede that dies but does not freeze. Even with the current Northern Expedition, it will still take three to five years to destroy him, but Cao Cao is different!"

"He has just welcomed the emperor, set his capital at Xudu, has limited troops, and has never heard of it! Moreover, Cao Ying has many factions... the defense of Yanzhou is useless. At this time, we can take advantage of its fledgling and fight to decide!"

"When the time comes, bringing the Son of Heaven to Jizhou, and conquering Gongsun Zan in the north, is in line with the law of heaven and in line with the hearts of the people... At that time, Duke Yuan will be invincible!"

Evidence-based and reasoned...

Ju Shou's words made Guo Tu speechless. In the verbal battle, he was still one level weaker after all!
this time...

The Ruying faction and the Jizhou talented faction just happened again.

Of course, every time this time, Yuan Shao is very conflicted...

He is a man who always has choice phobia. When it comes to making choices, he is worried.

Of course…

This time, he is more inclined to go south, because... the former little brother dared to be named "Great General". It went up to the sky.

This has nothing to do with the current situation, but Yuan Shao wanted to vent his anger.

But at this time...

"Da da da…"

There was a lot of sound of horseshoes outside the gate of the government office.

Immediately afterwards, a group of euphorbia warriors preached loudly. "Xu Ducheng, the envoy of the Son of Heaven, come here to deliver the imperial edict!"

As soon as this remark came out... everyone looked out the door, and sure enough... a few young eunuchs in their twenties raised their orchid fingers, and walked into the government office with a twist and a twist.

Immediately afterwards, the sharp voice of the leader Xiaohuangmen sounded.

"Yuan Shao accepts the order!"

As soon as this statement comes out…

Yuan Shao was taken aback...received the order?The emperor's edict?
Yuan Shao didn't want to kneel at first, in his eyes, the current emperor is just a beggar wagging his tail everywhere, why should he kneel for him?

But... as soon as the word "Son of Heaven" came out, a group of courtiers fell to their knees subconsciously.

This is the deterrence of the word "Son of Heaven". Even though the real power of "Son of Heaven" is declining now, but...his false name still exists, and it is deeply engraved in the hearts of all the clans.

This is true for the talents of Jizhou, and the same is true for the Ruying clan... It seems that kneeling down to accept the imperial edict has already become their subconscious reaction.

"It's a good thing, President Yuan won't kneel?"

Xiao Huangmen asked the cock's throat...

Jushou and Tian Feng winked at Yuan Shao again and again, Yuan Shao reluctantly knelt down.

I muttered in my heart, good thing, huh, huh!
Most likely, after Cao Cao became a general, he just assigned any official title to perfuse himself?Hmph... How could he, Yuan Shao, be subservient to this eunuch's adopted grandson, this former little brother?

But at this moment, Xiao Huangmen's voice came out again.

——"The four generations and three princes of the Yuan family have made many meritorious deeds. Yuan Shao put down the rebellion in the north and stabilized the northern border. I am very relieved. I bestow upon Yuan Shao the title of 'Great General' to command the soldiers and horses of the world!"

In the edicts of the Han Dynasty, there was no such thing as "Fengtian Chengyun, the emperor, and Zhaoyue", and they often said things directly when they had something to do, which was very brief and clear!
It sounds like a little bit of majesty is missing, but... it is precisely this edict that makes Yuan Shao's heart feel like waves are turbulent.

even…

Not only Yuan Shao, but Jushou, Tian Feng, Guo Tu, Feng Ji and many other counselors all changed their expressions, some eyes were tightly closed, and their mood became extremely complicated, and some secretly opened their lips, gloating Laugh out loud!

General?
The great general of the world's soldiers and horses... the emperor actually... no... To be precise, it was Cao Cao who rejected the emperor's kindness and even gave it to Yuan Gong.

This... this has a lot of meaning.

"General Yuan? Are you still not accepting the order?" Xiao Huangmen continued to speak...

But at this time...

The sound of "dong" was the sound of Yuan Shao's knee colliding with the ground. Originally, Yuan Shao's half-kneeling became a full-kneeling, and this kneeling is still very strong!
As for the reason...

He, Yuan Shao, has been longing for the title of "General of the World's Soldiers and Horses" for a long time.

Speaking of which, the Yuan family has four generations and three princes, and their disciples and former officials are all over the world. Even if there is another three princes selected, it is only the fifth generation and three princes, isn't it still a "gong"?

But the rank of this great general is different. He Yuan Shao became the next great general who commanded the world's soldiers and horses after He Jin, the great Han.

The identity is far above the parents and grandparents...

Become the person who shines on the lintel of Yuan's family!

If the parents, grandparents...or those clansmen are still alive, Yuan Shao wanted to ask them, did anyone say that Yuan Shao was born by a maidservant?

It can be said that with just such a kneeling, the humiliation brought to him by being a bastard all these years disappeared in an instant!

Yuan Shao was the one who revitalized the Yuan family.

Ha ha ha ha…

Unable to be ecstatic in his heart, Yuan Shao respectfully accepted the imperial edict, winked at the left and right guards, and someone handed each eunuch a small bag of gold.

"General Yuan... don't our family dare to accept it?" Xiao Huangmen postponed it as if he wanted to refuse...

Yuan Shao waved his hand, indicating that it's okay for them to accept it, but instead asked: "Dare to ask the imperial envoy, what is Cao Cao's current position?"

This is his biggest concern...

Of course, it's just a matter of concern, after all... the whole big man, the rank of general is almost below one person, above ten thousand people, Cao Cao can't possibly surpass him!
"Cao Cao?" Little Huangmen paused. "Is General Yuan asking Cao Sikong?"

blurt out a word...

Yuan Shao narrowed his eyes, Sikong?Sikong, one of the three?
"Hahahaha!"

Now Yuan Shao couldn't help laughing out loud!
Hello Sikong... Hello Sikong!
It is true that Sikong is one of the three lords, so he is considered to be in a high position.

But these are not important. What is important is that the position of "Sikong" Cao Cao invited is lower than Yuan Shao's "General". For Yuan Shao who is used to flattery, this is enough.

Ha ha…

Yuan Shao couldn't stop smiling, Cao Cao, Cao Cao...

He is still the little brother Cao Cao who used to follow behind him, he has not changed, he is still a brother!
Now that the emperor is in his hands, he is still afraid of his big brother, haha!
No, the biggest official was given to Yuan Shao!
Sure enough, Cao Cao's guts are still stuck in the matter of stealing a bride when he was a child, haha!
"Hahaha…"

Thinking of this, Yuan Shao was still laughing, especially heartily.

even…

Yuan Shao had an illusion that even though Cao Cao now sits in the Si, Xu, and Yan prefectures, in fact, he is still a watchdog and little brother who guards the south gate for the big brother Yuan Shao!

Ha ha…

Hahaha…

Here, Yuan Shaole is among them.

On the contrary, it was Ju Shou, his brows almost congealed into an upside-down character.

"Dare to ask the envoy, General Yuan sent a letter to Cao Mengde a few days ago to discuss with him about selecting another imperial capital. General Yuan thought it would be most appropriate to set up the imperial capital in Juancheng, the seat of Yanzhou! I don't know..."

Jushou is most concerned about moving the capital...

Is Yuan Shao a great general...

In fact, it doesn't matter to him, it's just a false name, the important thing is...Xu County can't be the imperial capital, the imperial capital must be closer to Jizhou, this is related to the overall situation.

"Yanzhou? Juancheng?" Little Huangmen frowned, "What the hell kind of place is that? Your Majesty lives well in Xudu, where is everything? Who are you? Do you think moving is just a joke?"

After all, they were sent by the imperial court, Xiao Huangmen was kind to Yuan Shao, but not polite to Jushou!

"You..." Jushou just wanted a theory.

"Military teacher!" Yuan Shao stopped him... He cupped his hands and apologized to Xiaohuangmen. "My envoy, don't get me wrong. I, a military advisor, have been confused for the past few days. How could this general propose to move the capital? This general will never do such a presumptuous move!"

"Yuan Gong..." Ju Shou still wanted to speak...

"Back off!" Yuan Shao said coldly...

Guo Tu, Feng Ji and others echoed this remark: "Master Ju, step back, farts are allowed, but you can't talk nonsense, when did General Yuan ask His Majesty to move the capital? What do you mean by that?" ? Isn’t it the crime of framing our General Yuan as usurper?”

What Guo Tu, Feng Ji and others are best at is not only flattering, but also beating up dogs in the water!

this time...

Ju Shou and Tian Feng raised their eyebrows, they knew the character of the lord Yuan Shao too well, Yuan Shao would hesitate most of the time, but... when he really made a decision, then... even eight horses couldn't pull him back return.

Ju Shou retreated helplessly and remained silent...

After the few little Huangmen retreated, Yuan Shao's eyes showed a rare sternness, and there was a bit of sadness in the high position in the sternness.

"Pass down the military order of General Ben, and the three armies will go north immediately to fight to the death with Gongsun Zan of Youzhou!"

"Master Mingjian..."

The Ruying faction headed by Guo Tu agreed one after another...

Can…

Ju Shou and Tian Feng's brows tightened even more.

Is there anything wrong with conquering Gongsun Zan from the north?No…

Even, this strategy was determined by him, but... the situation is different now. Cao Cao, who has been welcomed to the emperor, will definitely develop and grow at an extremely terrifying speed!

Within five years... a behemoth ten times more terrifying than Gongsun Zan will appear in the Central Plains!

call…

Both Jushou and Tian Feng let out a long breath. They made a mistake in this step, and they were afraid that the road ahead... would go far!

Can be…

Cao Cao's move to give up the position of "general" is brilliant.

The so-called "General of the World's Soldiers and Horses" is just a false name, but... Cao Cao won a rare development for him!
Gao Ming, this strategy is brilliant, in this strategy, the control of Yuan Shao's mind is extremely precise, so precise that it is outrageous.

Thinking of this, Jushou shook his head helplessly, he withdrew from the big tent, faced the void... and closed his eyes.

"Cao Ying... Cao Ying must have an expert! He, Cao Cao, must have an expert to guide him!"

"Ah... alas..."

Helpless sigh...

The only thing left for Jushou is endless dejection and endless stomping!
In his view, the situation in this world is no longer clear.

...

...

Xu Capital City, Sikong Mansion.

In a study room, Cao Cao was reading something freely, when a vigorous and powerful voice came from outside the door.

——"The subordinate is full of favors and asks to see you."

Before Xu Chu, the commander of the Huben army outside the door, entered the room to report, Cao Cao shouted directly. "Let him in!"

The door opens...

Man Chong stepped into it slowly, walked to Cao Cao's copybook, and cupped his hands.

"My subordinates are full of favors and pay homage to Duke Cao!"

"Have you received your Majesty's imperial edict appointing you Xu Duling?" Cao Cao asked while continuing to review the documents...

"Got it!" Man Chong replied truthfully.

"Did you bring Xu Duling's seal and ribbon?" Cao Cao then asked...

"Bring it!" Man Chong was about to take out the seal ribbon from his cuff.

"You don't need to take it out." Cao Cao raised his head and looked at Man Chong carefully, from top to bottom, for a full twenty breaths before he opened his mouth.

"Haha, more than ten years ago, when Lu Sinong recommended you to me, I just listened to you...how does this spoiled personality look so much like me Cao Cao! After seeing you today, you really look like me Cao Cao!"

This…

Being praised by Cao Cao, Man Chong was a little overwhelmed. What he is worst at is dealing with people.

For a while, neither standing nor sitting, seemed a little restrained.

"Subordinates dare not compare themselves with Duke Cao!"

Man Chong hurriedly replied...

"take it easy."

Cao Cao stood up, walked up to Man Chong, and patted him on the shoulder.

He said earnestly and earnestly: "This may not be easy to do, but it is not difficult to do. You can do everything according to your heart. When I was young, I cast five-color sticks to beat the powerful. What should I do? What should I not do? You should be clear, haha... Since you are recommended by Lu Sinong, I, Cao Cao, can trust you!"

Well…

Man Chong was a little surprised, just...just because of Lu Sinong's recommendation, did Mr. Cao trust him so much?

"Cao Gong..."

Man Chong just wanted to speak, but Cao Cao waved his hand. "Master Manfu, just listen to me when I finish speaking..."

Cao Cao turned his back and stood with his hands behind his back.

"Master Manfu probably doesn't know who Lu Si Nong recommended to me, right?"

This…

Man Chong cupped his hands and said, "This subordinate doesn't know!"

"Cheng Yu? Have you heard of it?" Cao Cao immediately called out Cheng Yu's name...

"Sima of the Longxiao Battalion, the current General Dongzhong Lang, officials of Shangshutai...Cheng Yu, Cheng Zhongde, who doesn't know, who doesn't know?" Man Chong told everything he knew.

"In the old days when Lv Bu's thief attacked Yanzhou, it was this guy who raised his sword and beheaded a county magistrate to stabilize the situation so that Lv Bu's army could not be punished!"

"Recently, Mr. Cao was able to capture Runan City, and was able to advance westward to Luoyang... Cheng Zhonglang will make great contributions, and I admire him very much!"

Waiting for Man Chong to finish speaking these words...

Only then did Cao Cao say, "Haha... This Cheng Yu was recommended to me by Lu Sinong..."

Speaking of this, he frowned and continued: "Dian Wei in the Longxiao camp? You've probably heard of it..."

This…

When Dian Wei was mentioned, Man Chong shuddered all over.

This is a legendary God of War figure in Cao Yingli and even in Kyushu!
Confronting the unparalleled god of war Lv Bu, relying on the double halberds in his hands, he shattered Lv Bu Fangtian's painted halberd, forcing Lv Bu to flee in panic. Such feats, it is no exaggeration to say that he is the number one God of War in Cao Ying!

"I've heard... Dian Dutong's prestige, and I am also very impressed!"

Man Chong didn't say so much this time...

Cao Cao replied with a smile: "He is also a talent recommended to me by Lu Si Nong!"

In a word, Cao Cao blinked his eyes, and asked again with great interest: "Mr. Manfu? Do you know that after Cheng Zhonglang general and Diandu were unified, Lu Sinong specially recommended another person to me. Guess what?" who is it?"

This…

Man Chong was stunned, how could he have guessed this!

But... It seems that he has figured out something, as long as someone recommended by Lu Yu and Lu Sinong, it seems... that they can do a lot.

"Mr. Cao, my subordinates really can't figure it out."

"Ha ha…"

Cao Cao smiled and pointed at Man Chong with his index finger.

"The third person Lu Sinong recommended to me is you—Man Chong!"

"Hahaha...Mr. Manfu, don't you want to lower the level of Lu Sinong's recommendation of talents!"

Speaking of this, Cao Cao did not forget to pat Man Chong on the shoulder again.

"Work hard, go for it with a broad axe, behind you is Lu Si Nong, and I, Cao Cao! We are all optimistic about you!"

This…

Suddenly, Man Chong actually felt the long-lost pressure, so great, so great pressure!

...
