Chapter 87: Serving the Son of Heaven
In the end, Xun Yu returned in vain.
Because there is no way, Liu Xie really takes the initiative in this kind of thing, and whatever he says is reasonable.
After Xun Yu left, Dong Cheng also became busy and needed to re-divider Wancheng's defense.
Moreover, during this period, because he had been worried that Cao Cao would counterattack, he did not occupy the surrounding cities at all, but just stationed his army in Wancheng.
However, judging from the current situation, Cao Cao seemed to have not yet made a good move to turn against Liu Xie, so he led his army to retreat to Xuchang.
As the news received from the spy, Cao Cao seemed to be preparing to transfer his army eastward, wanting to settle accounts with Lu Bu and Liu Guanzhang who had attacked him last year.
Chenliu, an ancient city located in Yanzhou, is located in the prefecture.
Originally, Chen Liu was only considered average in the territory of the Han Dynasty, but since Boss Cao raised an army from Chen Liu, Chen Liu has become a world-class city.
At this time, in Boss Cao's mansion, Boss Cao sat together with his confidant.
Boss Cao sat sideways in front of the desk, holding his head with his left arm, and rubbing it with some discomfort.
"Wen Ruo, what did Dong Cheng really say?" Cao Cao raised his head and asked at Xun Yu in the hall.
"Go back to lord, yes." Xun Yu said with a wry smile. He felt embarrassed himself. After all, when he went to Wancheng to meet Dong Cheng before, he had promised.
But the result was that not only did he not get the result he wanted, but he was instead led by Dong Cheng to a general.
"Well!" Cao Cao sighed and expressed his helplessness.
There is no way. Liu Xie is no longer the emperor who has just arrived in Luoyang. He now has three counties in his hands, and they are all big counties.
It is indeed difficult to deal with hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands, with Huzhu and Wuguan.
Cao Mengde could only swallow this loss himself.
"Lord, don't worry. My subordinates think that the emperor occupied Wancheng, which is not all bad for our army." At this time, Guo Jia, who was drinking beside him, stood up staggeringly and said to Cao Cao.
"Oh? Why did Fengxiao say that?" Cao Cao felt refreshed when he heard Guo Jia's words.
"Lord, you are now the General of the Conquest South who was personally appointed by the Emperor. Strictly speaking, our relationship with the Emperor is actually relatively relaxed."
"And according to the spies' reports, the heavenly soldiers who had previously attacked our army were returning to Luoyang. They have passed Wuguan. Only the national uncle Dong Cheng is stationed in Wancheng."
"That means that the emperor has not yet had the idea of having a bad bus with the lord. So why not be more respectful to the emperor and then take down Xuzhou completely?"
"At that time, as long as Xuzhou is in hand, Qingzhou can also be seized. At that time, the lord will occupy four of the thirteen states in the world."
"In this way, the lord can be invincible. At that time, even the emperor will not easily deal with the lord and bus, and will only work harder to win over the lord."
"In addition, after occupying Qingxu, the lord can guide Hebei in the north and enter Yangzhou in the south! In this way, half of the Han Dynasty's country is the lord's." Guo Jia staggered to the map and stroked casually with his fingers on the map.
Boss Cao's eyes lit up, and his heart was so passionate!
If things really happened as Guo Jia said, then the emperor would definitely look at him differently.
At that time, if you ask for a prime minister, the emperor will give it to you no matter how hard it is.
However, this kind of thing still hides one's ambitions.
"Fengxiao, you are drunk." Cao Cao put down his arm that was supporting his head and said to his left and right: "I am the general of the Han Dynasty's campaign. How could he be disobedient?"
"I never thought of separating one side! What I did was for Your Majesty! Come and send Fengxiao back to rest."
The soldier outside the house immediately carried Guo Jia away when he heard Boss Cao's words.
Guo Jia, who was being carried, was still yelling.
"Lord! My wine, my wine!"
After he could no longer hear Guo Jia's voice, Cao Cao smiled at everyone present with a little awkwardness.
"Oh, this Fengxiao, I've talked about him many times. Drinking alcohol makes things wrong, but he just doesn't listen. It makes you laugh."
"Lord! Although I was drunk in the filial piety, I would like to remind my subordinates." At this time, the sick actor, who had already been sick, forced himself to support his body and said to Cao Cao.
"Lu Bu is Dong Zhe's adopted son. Although this man killed Dong Zhe, the emperor has not yet pardoned the wrong things he did before."
"Later, Lu Bu took advantage of our attack on Xuzhou and then attacked Puyang (I know it was a typo, but if the word Pu would be blocked if it was typed)."
"In addition, although Liu Bei, Xuzhou claimed to be a relative of the Han Dynasty, had no words since the emperor returned to Luoyang. It was really a bit unreasonable. He was really unsubmissive!"
"I suggest that the lord should take this opportunity to teach Lu Bu and Liu Bei a lesson and ask them to go to Luoyang to apologize to Your Majesty." The actor said slowly.
His body could no longer support him to speak quickly.
"Zi Cai, please sit down first. Your body really makes me worried." Cao Cao first cared about the physical condition of the actor Zi Cai.
"Don't worry, lord, my subordinates are very clear about their health. The most urgent task now is to ask your lord to send troops immediately to fight against the unjust!" The actor said this very powerfully.
"I have already asked for help?" Cao Cao's eyes suddenly lit up.
Indeed, as the General of the Conquest South, he does have the right to conquer the rebellious officials.
And it's also in the legal principles!
"What a perfect excuse!" Boss Cao was delighted.
However, his face still looked like a righteous look.
"As a general of the Han Dynasty's war, he is indeed obliged to challenge the emperor to seek rebellion!"
"Lu Bu, Liu Bei, when the emperor returned to the east, launched chaos and disturbed the local area."
"The emperor has established the capital of Luoyang and does not worship him, so he should be regarded as unfaithful!"
"Lu Bu killed his father and Liu Bei occupied the magpies' nest, which was considered unjust!"
"Such unfaithful and unrighteous people will be punished by the emperor!"
"Xun Yu, you are very literary. Let's write a proclamation for you to fight against the thieves! It spread all over the world!"
"I will fight against the emperor this time!"
Cao Cao said righteousness with great confidence, and he felt that he was standing at the commanding heights of morality!
In the name of Liu Xie, he attacked Lu Bu and Liu Bei!
This time no prince can stop him! Even Liu Xie cannot do it!
After all, this time I went under the name of slaughtering unjust officials. If Liu Xie opposed it, wouldn’t it encourage the princes in the world to follow suit?
Cao Cao felt that Liu Xie would not be so stupid and would give the princes all over the world a chance to make a statement!
When everyone in the main hall heard Cao Cao's words, they stood up and agreed to Cao Cao.
They all felt that this wave was stable.
