Nearly a thousand support troops deployed by Cao Hong not too far from the front were directly dispersed by Hua Xiong with a single sword. Everyone was not a fool and could run faster than a rabbit. Seeing such an invincible character, they would definitely not die if necessary.
carry.
Although Hua Xiong's march was fast, after all, thousands of people were moving together, which was not as fast as the speed of one person on horseback who could go all out to send a message.
When Hua Xiongcai led his troops to Dongping, Cao Cao, who was stationed in Shanyang, had already learned the latest information.
"Oh, Liu Xuande has so many good ministers and generals! I didn't expect that such a big thing as paying tribute would be handed over to Hua Xiong, so as to have a face-to-face meeting with His Majesty and wash away the stains on Hua Xiong's body. I thought it was just a courtesy officer who would handle this matter.
I didn't expect it to be Hua Xiong, it seems that this person has ambitions in the world!" Cao Cao sighed deeply after reading the information.
Ever since Chen Xi defeated the Million Yellow Turbans and gathered them, Cao Mengde has been staying in Shanyang and planned to study what happened to Liu Xuande. It is said that the situation in Taishan cannot be better than that of Chen Liu. Liu Xuande has Tao Qian's support, and so does Cao Mengde.
Zhang Miao sent grain, but the more we learned about it, the bigger the gap became.
So Cao Mengde put aside his plan to annex Taishan and began to study Taishan carefully. The more he studied, the more he felt that Chen Xi's method was very promising. But the problem was that Taishan's method was only suitable for Taishan because there were no aristocratic families there...
Dian Wei, who stood aside like a wall, groaned and said nothing, but speaking out at this time was enough to show his dissatisfaction.
"Evil comes, what do you have to say?" Cao Cao heard Dian Wei's groaning voice and knew what Dian Wei was thinking, so he smiled and asked.
"Dian Wei thinks that he is no weaker than Hua Xiong, and I would like to ask my lord to give me a chance to fight with me!" Dian Wei said angrily, holding his fists and making a loud sound. The muscles all over his body seemed to be crushed into pieces by the armor.
"Hahaha!" Cao Mengde laughed, "He Liu Xuande is concerned about Zhang. I also have fierce generals like you. Come on, let's stop Hua Xiong. I also want to see the formation that Lian was talking about!"
Just when Cao Cao was about to take his bodyguard Dian Wei to meet Hua Xiong, Xun Yu appeared and said, "My lord, Zhong Yao of Yongzhou came to report that Li Que and Guo Si led an army of 300,000 to defeat Lu Bu, and the prince's division was killed."
At the foot of Chang'an City."
After saying this, Xun Yu handed the bamboo slips that conveyed the order to Cao Cao. Then Cao Cao's face became darker and darker as he looked at it, "How dare you do this, thief!"
In anger, he stood up and slammed the slips on several cases.
"My lord, please calm down. The emperor is fine. We still have time to accumulate strength and snatch the emperor back." Xun Yu said as calmly as possible. For people like Xun Yu, the emperor's misfortune is simply unacceptable.
Cao Cao sighed, and his original plan to block Hua Xiong was extinguished, "Wen Ruo, do we still have enough food?"
"There is only one month of food left. In addition, due to the Yellow Turban rebellion, the fields we cultivated last year are basically useless. After that, we have quite a lot of vacancies in seeds and farm tools for summer planting. And even if we plant the summer planting on time, there is still a long way to go before the autumn harvest."
In four months, the most important thing is that we have more than 500,000 more refugees." Xun Yu said helplessly, lack of food is always a big problem.
Cao Cao didn't hear what Xun Yu said at all. His previous question was just to stop Xun Yu from paying attention to his expression, so as not to notice anything.
Cao Cao is still focused on the previous intelligence. Situ Wang Yun jumped over the city wall and died. Liu Xie actually did not dare to say a word to defend Wang Yun under the coercion of Li Que and Guo Si, so he could only lower his head and let it go.
Wang Yun jumped off the city wall in despair, and then ordered his entire family to be killed and their bodies abandoned in the wilderness.
Cao Cao didn't know how to describe his current mood, whether he was disappointed or depressed.
Even if Liu Xie said a word of defense, Wang Yun would probably not regret his choice. Even if he jumped over the city wall, he would still call Li Que and Guo Si a traitor. If he was waiting for something underground, he would never say a word.
Jump off the city wall! And in the future, there will be countless people with lofty ideals who will enthusiastically die to serve the country. In the end, Liu Xie gave in and did not dare to say a word. What was he afraid of?
Li Que and Guo Si simply could not and did not dare to kill him. The emperor Liu Bian died, and the princes attacked Dong. Now that Li Que and Guo Bang were in power, they could not withstand the coalition of princes from all over the world. They did not dare to really hurt Liu Xie.
At best, it's to intimidate.
[If the ruler treats his ministers like his hands and feet, then his ministers will regard him as his heart; if his ministers regard his ministers as dogs and horses, then his ministers will regard him as a fellow countryman; if his ministers regard his ministers as earth and mustard, then his ministers will regard him as a bandit!] Cao Mengde's thoughts emerged in Cao Mengde's mind.
He said a word, and then suddenly seemed to have lost a layer of prison, and his momentum became magnificent.
[A king treats his ministers like dirt...] Cao Mengde sighed, and a seed slowly took root in his heart.
"Lord!" Xun Yu said with a slight frown.
"Ha, Wen Ruoqi, don't care. I just feel a little sad because of this information. Now let's continue talking about business. Is our food shortage big?" Cao Cao smiled and apologized to Xun Yu, not caring at all.
one's own status as king.
"The gap is huge. Even if the Yanzhou family helps, the gap is still too much. Generally speaking, the government treasury is short of money and food. Normal methods are no longer enough to make up for the gap. We can only use other methods to deal with this matter." Xun Yu said.
There was a flash of gratitude, and then he calmed down again. Sometimes you have to stay calm enough to complete your plan.
"What's the plan?" Cao Cao said excitedly. The problem of food had always been a problem for him, and Xun Yu could actually come up with a solution.
"Since we are short of food in Yanzhou, we have to feed on the enemy. We have no food, but Mount Tai, Xuzhou, and Yuzhou all have food!" Xun Yu said with a cold light in his eyes.
"After the princes conquered Dong, the world's forces could be divided into two groups: Dong Zhuo in Guanxi and the princes in Guandong. However, the princes in Guandong were divided into two forces centered on Jizhou and Yuzhou because of Yuan Benchu and Yuan Gongluo. General Baima suddenly emerged and intervened.
, which is why Chen Zichuan used to
The key to being weak and still able to defeat Jizhou is because he is putting pressure on Yuan Shao. He is strengthening the combination of himself and the martial arts forces, and can affect the whole body with one move. With this alone, he can get a lot of support, and then there will be enough time.
Cultivation and nourishment!" Xun Yu slowly explained the situation in the world.
"Now we must also choose a force. Although we have been on the same road with Yuan Benchu before, we have no alliance after all. This time we will also strengthen the combination with Shao's force. In this world, not only Liu Xuande can get the support of others,
Some people also want to support us!" A warm smile appeared on Xun Yu's face.
Seeing Xun Yu's smile, Cao Cao immediately felt relieved. Every time Xun Yu showed a smile, it could be said that the situation was settled. Since Xun Yu said this this time, he couldn't be joking.
