Cao Mengde's life has not been going well in recent times. First, there was a serious shortage of food, which greatly delayed his development. After finally getting some food, who knew that Lu Bu would take advantage of him to go out to develop and join forces with Chen
The palace gave him a big surprise. Dingtao, Juye, and Puyang fell successively, and most of Yanzhou fell. It gave Cao Cao a good experience of being stabbed in the back and losing his family.
Although the four great counselors Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, Xi Zhicai, and Xun You later took turns in scheming, and successively took back Dingtao and Juye, Chen Gong and Lu Bu were a perfect match.
It also troubled Cao Cao and the four great counselors, especially Lu Bu's unreasonable force, which made several of them speechless from time to time.
At this time, Cao Cao was full of jealousy towards Ying Zige, who had occupied Chang'an and even Sili territory before him. Originally, his advisers had planned well for him, but he only waited to contact the Han court officials in Chang'an.
If they and the young emperor can find a way to leave Chang'an and come to Yanzhou, then they will obey the emperor's orders and refuse to serve as ministers, and they will occupy the rightful position. Then what does Cao Cao have to worry about?
Who would have known that Ying Zige, a descendant of the pre-Qin Dynasty who appeared out of nowhere, not only killed Han Sui, the half-lord of Liangzhou, but also conquered the Qiang tribes in Yongliang and other places in a short period of time, completely conquering
They captured most of the entire Liangzhou and Yongzhou, and then wiped out Li Jue and Guo Si who had 100,000 Xiliang cavalry in one fell swoop. They captured the entire Yongzhou and half of Sili in one fell swoop. It would have been okay if that was all.
Who dares to believe that the entire Han Dynasty was destroyed in the battle between Ying Zige, Li Jue, and Guo Si, which caused an undercurrent in the entire world. It also made the plans of Cao Cao's four great counselors come to nothing.
When he heard the news, Cao Cao was dumbfounded. He stared blankly in the direction of Chang'an for a long time. His mind and heart were filled with torrents. Of course, as a traitor of a generation, Cao Cao naturally walked away from it quickly.
However, some things have changed the current Cao Mengde in advance, making him change a lot, and the goals in his heart have also changed a lot.
For that goal, Cao Cao felt a sense of urgency for the first time, because he knew very well that compared to most of the princes in the world, he was lagging behind in all senses, not to mention being in a four-war battle like Yanzhou.
In this land, there were two great heroes, Ying Zige and Yuan Shao, which made Cao Cao understand that he must speed up his development.
Otherwise, whether it is Ying Zige who has developed rapidly and occupied Yongliang Division, or Wushang has occupied Jizhou, the largest continent in the world, or Yuan Shao, who has attracted a large number of talents to join him because of his family background, it is possible that he will come at any time.
Kill yourself.
Let’s not mention Yuan Shao for the moment. After all, although he has a lot of resources because of his family background, and he even conquered Jizhou, the largest continent in the world, Gongsun Zan, who fought out of the corpse mountain and sea of blood, has Baima Yi under his command.
The most elite heroes in the world came to trouble him, but in a short period of time, they did not cause any harm to him.
But Ying Zige is different. Although because Ying Zige is a remnant of the pre-Qin Dynasty, they have suffered invisible suppression and inconvenience in all aspects of the Han Dynasty today, the Han Dynasty has lost power after all, and the signs of troubled times have appeared.
In addition, he captured the Yongliang Division and recovered the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, which was once the number one in the world. It can be said that his power is terrifyingly powerful, and the most terrifying thing is that
The scary thing is that after gaining this huge advantage and power, Ying Zige was not careless at all. Not only did he not directly send his troops out of Hangu, but he took advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains to further expand his power. Instead, he stabilized his steps and used Hangu.
Guguan, Tongguan and Qingni Pass form an unbreakable natural defense, which perfectly blocks the prying eyes of the outside world while immersing itself in it and absorbing development.
Under such circumstances, the princes who had vaguely united due to the pressure of Ying Zige and once again had the situation of the eighteen princes challenging Dong, relaxed again and continued to fight for power and profit. According to Cao Cao's news, Yangzhou
Over there, Yuan Shu's prodigal son showed vague signs of proclaiming himself emperor.
"Is Yuan Shu the road crazy or stupid?" This was Cao Cao's first reaction when he received this information. However, after thinking about it carefully, Cao Cao was able to understand Yuan Shu's psychology, and he was destroyed in the center of the Han Dynasty.
The emperor has not yet been elected. If Yuan Shu really wants to proclaim himself emperor, there is indeed no time more suitable than now.
"Oh, the world, the Han Dynasty." In the military camp, Cao Cao sighed and muttered to himself, "To put it bluntly, I still don't have enough strength, I still need to develop quickly."
"My lord!" While Cao Cao was thinking wildly, Xun Yu suddenly opened the tent door and walked in, shouting respectfully.
"Wen Ruo" Cao Cao looked stunned for a moment, then recovered, raised his head and looked at Xun Yu, and asked softly, "Everything has been arranged."
Xun Yu nodded. He could tell that Cao Cao was not in a good mood. In fact, he was so happy in his heart. The sudden destruction of the center of the Han court made Wang Zuozhi, who had his heart set on the Han Dynasty, fall into despair for the first time.
In the confusion, if it weren't for Cao Cao, the lord, and Xun You, the equally clever nephew,
After thinking about it, and in addition to the fact that there are countless clans in the Han Dynasty that are qualified to claim the title of emperor, Xun Yu may have collapsed and been silent for a period of time. After thinking about it, after listening to Cao Cao's inquiry, Xun Yu responded immediately, "
My lord, everything in the camp has been arranged, and the arrangements for dealing with Lu Fengxian are almost complete."
"Well, thank you." Cao Cao gently stepped forward and patted Xun Yu on the shoulder, and then asked in a deep voice, "Wen Ruo, when can we take action?"
"Wait another day, Zhicai will be able to lead the four generals Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xiahou Dun, and Xiahou Yuan to form a large formation. At that time, with the four generals using the force of the battle formation to surround Lu Bu, we no longer have to worry about Lu Fengxian using force.
We have forcibly reversed the situation, but unfortunately the time is still too tight, and Mancheng and Wenqian were a little late when they came to meet up, otherwise
With the cooperation of the two of them, the power of the formation will be much stronger, and our certainty will also be much stronger." Xun Yu's tone was a little helpless and regretful. The threat of Lu Bu's force was too great.
, this is the first time to face off against such a brainless general who can defeat thousands of armies with his strength, and it is also very helpless and even powerless to deal with it.
"Is it a big influence?" Cao Cao nodded and asked after pondering.
"Don't worry, my lord."
, and we also need to seize the opportunity to lead the troops to capture Puyang. If Mancheng and Wen Qian are in charge, we can rest assured."
"Okay, then wait for one more day" Cao Cao stood up and responded majestically.
