Chapter 72
Chapter 72 The Traitor Cao Cao

"Oh! Could it be that the summoning last time was true? Our emperor really killed Dong Zhuo, and now he has conquered Niu Fu and surrendered a hundred thousand troops from Xiliang." The news of the great victory in Shan County came to Yizhou from Hedong. Yuan Shao smiled teasingly, tossed his brocade robe, and said in high spirits:
"Come here, General Fenwei Jushou, don't fight Tian Feng, the judge in Zhizhong, Xu You, Feng Ji, Xun Chen, Xin Ping, Xin Pi, Guo Tu, Chen Lin, etc. call me over, I have something important Discuss!"

Yuan Shao is very proud of the civil servants and generals, who has more advisers and generals than him in the world, as long as Gongsun Zan is killed, the north will hum...

Also because of the emperor's attack on Niu Fu, the news that the [-] Xiliang army was sent down has reached Yanzhou under Liu Xie's deliberate propaganda.

Cao Cao's reaction was the same as Yuan Shao's, and he invited all his counselors to discuss.

At this time, Cao Cao controlled half of Yanzhou, and was called Yanzhou Shepherd by the prefects of various places. Well, this is a fake state shepherd, and he has not actually been recognized by any princes or emperors.

For this reason, Cao Cao quietly sent an envoy behind Yuan Shao's back to Chang'an to approach Dong Zhuo, but the envoy was detained by Zhang Yang's people in Hedong before he arrived in Chang'an, and Dong Zhuo was killed by Liu Xie at this time. The envoy was released and went on the road again, but he had just arrived at Hangu Pass.

"My lord, the emperor is the master of the world, and everyone in the world must obey his edicts. At this time, Dong Zhuo has been punished by the emperor, and the emperor has killed Niu Fu and surrendered a hundred thousand troops from Xiliang. I think he will return soon." In Luoyang, the old capital, the lord should be an example for the world, revitalize the Han Dynasty, assist the emperor, and restore the world." Xun Yu and Xun Wenruo were the first to stand up and say.

Others also spoke out one after another, saying that since the emperor is free now, he is not Dong Zhuo's puppet, and the court is clear, so he must obey the court to be a loyal minister and obey the emperor's orders.

Cao Cao was expressionless, without emotional waves, nodded calmly and said: "You are all right!"

Then the crowd dispersed, and after a while, Cheng Yu and the opera singer returned one after another, Cao Cao had a strange light flash in his eyes, and asked someone to close the door, and asked the guards to seal off the surrounding area, and said with a smile: "Zhongde and Zhi Why don't you come here together?"

"Since my lord knows what I'm waiting for, don't make fun of us." The actor brought a wine gourd with him, unscrewed it and took a sip, Cheng Yu smiled and nodded, Cao Cao looked at the actor very helplessly, letting the two fall sit.

Only then did Cheng Yu ask: "My lord, I don't know if your ambition is still there?"

Cao Cao replied: "So what if you are there? So what if you are not here?"

"If you're not here, my lord will listen to them, and if you're here, listen to what the two of us have to say." Xi Zhicai hiccupped and said, Cheng Yu ignored him and only said his own:

"My lord, Wen Ruo and others have received the grace of the great man, and the family has multiplied enormously. All the honor and disgrace are closely related to the great man. Of course, the great man is the most important thing, and the emperor is the most important. Today, the lord can only overcome obstacles in half a state. Counties, among the heroes of the world Zhongzi seemed a little weaker.

The emperor is calling, and there will be people willing to follow him, and the lord first started to understand and restore the Han Dynasty. Naturally, everyone wants the lord to return to the court and defend the emperor. "

Cao Cao nodded straightly, Cheng Yu was right, so he didn't get angry when he heard his most valued adviser, Xun Yu, take the lead in speaking, because it was common sense.

It's just that although the emperor killed Dong Zhuo, wiped out Niu Fu, and sent down a hundred thousand troops, the ignited ambition in his heart, how willing is the ambition.

If it was last year, he would still be willing to accept it. After all, at that time, his territory was less than a county, his soldiers were only a few thousand, and his advisers were only one or two. Now he owns half of Yanzhou, and everyone around him depends on him to survive. .

There are people with money and food, and there are countless supporters and followers.

The ambition has already become stronger and stronger, and the desire is also swelled and released with each victory.

At this time, he suddenly asked him to stop, and no one would be willing to surrender to the emperor who was a brat. He knew that Yuan Shao would not be willing, and Yuan Shu would not be willing, nor would the shepherds, governors, and county guards of other states.

"My lord, the world has been turbulent for a long time, and there are endless wars. At this time, it is not an edict from the emperor to stop it. Just like the Spring and Autumn Emperor Zhou, although he has a place to live, it is difficult to do anything." The actor suddenly sat upright and continued:
"My lord, everyone thinks that the emperor sent down the [-] Xiliang army, and Guanzhong and the whole Sizhou will be at peace? What is the Xiliang army? My lord understands better than me. The three generals of Xiliang are not Yi'an's generation. This Sizhou Guan Long is not a place where you can be peaceful, just wait, the emperor still has a lot to do, he has more hardships than the lord."

"My lord, Zhicai's words are justified. Three generals and one rebellion are rekindling the flames of war. I am afraid that the emperor will not care about me and other righteous men in the Kwantung region, so I am willing to ask my lord to lead us to continue to overcome thorns and thorns to open up the sage, save the people from suffering, and liberate the people. It's difficult." Cheng Yu watched Cao Cao's unique confident smile come back, and immediately said:
"My lord, the most urgent matter at the moment is not the matter of the emperor, but the Yellow Turban bandit that started to plague Qingzhou. We should unite with the Prime Minister of Jibei to destroy this thief. At that time, my lord can win the two prefectures of Yanqing and Qingzhou, take down hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and control millions of people in the area." With the above population, even Yuan Shao dare not underestimate the lord, and needs the help of the lord."

The most important thing is to expand the territory. With the territory and the soldiers, the general will look at his own eyes and act regardless of who he is.

Cao Cao pulled his hands into fists and put them in his cuffs. The desire in his heart was completely released, and he nodded in agreement.

The opera singer sat down again, took a sip of wine and talked in his sleep, "My lord, if you have an advantage, you should take advantage of it as soon as possible. The emperor should give it to you in the name of state shepherd. I'm afraid you won't be able to give it if you want to give it later."

The Xiliang army is [-], and the emperor's army is [-]. If there is another war, it's hard to say what the outcome will be. Anyway, I feel that the emperor will lose, and Xi Zhicai doesn't know much about Liu Xie at this time, so I mention this.

Cao Cao smiled even more. He is now a fake state shepherd, and he happened to go to the table to let the emperor kiss him. This will not only get benefits, but also reassure Xun Yu and the others, and avoid estrangement. At this time, he will send an assist, the emperor When it is not stingy.

So soon Cao Cao sent another eloquent person to Liu Xie.

In Yizhou in the third year of Chuping, the war is still going on, and the battle between Sun and Yuan is almost two years away.

At this time, Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao had a battle in Longjiao. Both sides suffered a lot, and no one took advantage. Over the past two years, military expenditures, soldiers and horses have been consumed a lot, and each other is a little tired. The people were in dire straits, and seeing that the two sides were about to fight to the end, the emperor's edict came.

The envoy sent by Liu Xie is here!
Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao approached the envoy respectively, and treated each other with courtesy. The envoy's first task was to mediate a truce, so the two were unable to fight because of the depletion of food and grass.

"Hey! The Son of Heaven came at the right time. He settled Yuan Shao and me so easily. Both of us have face and steps to end this battle." Gongsun Zan is fair and handsome, even if he is already He is 40 years old, and he is still a handsome guy.
