However, Gongsun Kang was afraid of Cao Cao's general situation. He stood on his own in Liaodong, and no one could control him. He was the uncrowned king of Liaodong, so he would not surrender to Cao Cao.That is to say.

"I'm afraid that Cao Cao will lead his troops to Liaodong to seize our foundation in Liaodong. Why don't we enlist Eryuan envoys to help me and attack Cao Cao together."

Gongsun Gong knew that his brother did not want to surrender to Cao and lost his power. After thinking about it for a while, he remonstrated.

"That's it. Brother, you can ask people to inquire about it. If Cao's soldiers come to attack, he must have the intention of seizing Liaodong. That is to say, let the two Yuan stay, and we will fight Cao together. If he doesn't move, it means that he has no intention of seizing the elder brother's foundation. Xin, that is, this elder brother can kill the second Yuan and send it to Prime Minister Cao, firstly, he can show his respect to Prime Minister Cao, and secondly, he can be saved from the disaster of war, it is really the luck of Liaodong!"

"Brother Gong's words are really great, you should follow them."

Gongsun Kang nodded in agreement, and then ordered people to investigate Cao Jun's movements. When Cao Jun didn't move, Gongsun Kang felt relieved when he heard about it, and quickly discussed with his brother about the murder of Er Yuan.

But when Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang arrived in Liaodong, they discussed secretly.Yuan Shang said so.

"Gongsun Kang is an incompetent generation. His father was in Japan, and he often had the heart to swallow Liao, but he was slow because of the attack on Cao. Today, the Liaodong army has tens of thousands of troops, and the terrain is complicated and rugged. Taking advantage of the terrain, it is enough to compete with Cao Cao. Struggle for balance. As long as you and I stay alive for a day, the Yuan family will not die. Now my brother votes for it temporarily. After repelling the Cao bandits, we will make a plan to kill Gongsun Kang and take his land in Liaodong. Keep a low profile for several years , develop strength and then attack the Central Plains, so that Hebei can be recovered as much as possible.”

"What the third brother said is right."

Although Yuan Shang has lost his power, his ambition has not diminished. Yuan Xi has always been weak and foolish, and now he obeys his younger brother.The two have discussed and decided to lead the army to see Gongsun Kang.Gongsun Kang sent his younger brother Gongsun Gong to welcome him, and left Er Yuan to rest at the post. Er Yuan wanted to see Gongsun Kang to discuss important matters.

Not a day later, the meticulous work came back again, saying that Cao Cao's troops were stationed in Liucheng, and there had been no movement for a long time. It seemed that he had no intention of going down to Liaodong.Gongsun Kang was overjoyed, and his heart to kill Eryuan was more certain.That is to say, after discussing with his younger brother, Gongsun Gong offered a plan, set up a Hongmen banquet, and killed Eryuan.When Gongsun Kang followed him, he first put his sword and axe in the wall coat of the hall, and sent someone to call Er Yuan to see him.When Eryuan heard Gongsun Kang's transmission, he was excited and had no doubts, so he came to see him quickly.After everyone met, Gongsun Kang ordered the two Yuans to sit.

It was very cold at that time, Yuan Shang saw that there was no carpet on the bed to keep out the cold, he frowned, bowed his hands to Gongsun Kang, and begged.

"The weather is very cold, Wang Minggong gave me a seat."

When Gongsun Kang heard the words, his face suddenly changed drastically, and he scolded angrily in the hall.

"You are the leader of the two, and you will travel thousands of miles! Why do you need to sit at the table!!?"

Yuan Shang was shocked, and Yuan Xi was so frightened that his soul flew away. With a plop, he was paralyzed to the ground.Gongsun Kang shouted angrily again, shouting loudly.

"Why don't you start! Kill the villain!"

Hearing the order, the knives and axes in the ambush wall rushed out, and instantly engulfed Er Yuan, slashing with knives, Er Yuan couldn't avoid it, and they were all killed by Gongsun Kang's knives and axes.Gongsun Kang ordered people to cut off the heads of the two Yuans, store them in wooden boxes, and send them to Liucheng to see Cao Cao.

It is said that Cao Cao was in Liucheng and did not move.Xiahoudun, Cao Ren and other generals, fearing that Luoyang's soldiers would be empty and people would take advantage of it, advised Cao Cao to return to Luoyang as soon as possible to protect the rear if he did not go to Liaodong.Cao cao all appeased the generals and told them to be at ease and not to be impatient. When the second Yuan's head arrives, even if the squadron returns to the court.None of the generals believed it.

Suddenly a soldier came to report, and Gongsun Kang of Liaodong sent people to see Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang, and all the generals were shocked and pale.The envoy submitted a letter to the two heads of Yuan.Cao Cao ordered someone to open the wooden box, and it turned out to be Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang.

Cao Cao laughed loudly.

"Haha. Sure enough, it's not expected to be a filial piety!"

Cao Cao then rewarded the envoy heavily, and made Gongsun Kang the Marquis of Xiangping and General Zuo.Cao Cao calmed down the matter. Seeing that all the officials of His Royal Highness were full of doubts, Cao Cao then left Guo Jiazhi to show the officials.

Slightly so.

"Now that I heard that the two sons of Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang were defeated and went far to Liaodong, the Duke of Ming must not add troops. Gongsun Kang was afraid of Yuan's annexation for a long time, and when the two Yuans went to vote, Gongsun Kang would definitely become suspicious. They must join forces to meet the enemy, and they must not be in a hurry. If the lord slows down, Gongsun Kang is afraid of the lord's general situation, and he will definitely kill the two Yuans, so as to reassure the lord."

When all the officials saw it, they all praised it enthusiastically, and said that Guo Jia's knowledge was as good as a god, and he was worthy of the name of "ghost talent".With the death of Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi, the Yuan family line was officially declared to be destroyed.Cao Cao seized all the land under Yuan's jurisdiction, and his power shocked Hebei, and his strength leapt to become the most powerful force in the world.

After the congratulations were over, Xun You, Cheng Yu and other counselors asked for advice together.

"Hebei has been established. Since the prime minister returned to Luoyang early, it can be built early. It is a strategy to go to the south of the Yangtze River or go to the northwest."

Cao Cao laughed, exuding the arrogance of swallowing the world all over his body.

"Jiangnan and Northwest, the two are equal. My power will cover most of the world. At that time, who can stand in my way? Besides, within a few years, the world can be settled. I have this ambition for a long time! Gentlemen What I said was exactly what I wanted.”

Cao Cao pacified Hebei, and all the civil and military soldiers returned to the Central Plains like an arrow.Cao Cao immediately sent his army back to the court and rushed to Yejun, Jizhou, where Cao Cao's army was resting in the city.Cao Cao lost his interest, and came to the upstairs in the east corner of Ye City, leaning on the railing to look up at the astronomy.At that time, Xun You was by his side, and Cao Cao knew a lot about celestial phenomena, so he pointed to the sky for two days and said.

"The northwest is full of stars, and the south is full of vitality. The two are in full swing. I'm afraid we can't take it lightly!"

Xun You hurriedly saluted and responded.

"With Prime Minister Tianwei, the nearly 70 members of the Yuan family can't resist. Now the prime minister has half of the world, and the power is more than several times higher than before. Northwest and Jiangnan, the prime minister is at your fingertips, why should you be afraid of this mere astronomical phenomenon!"

While Xun You was talking, he suddenly saw a golden light rising from the ground outside the city.Xun You was shocked and said quickly.

"Prime Minister, the golden light is shining, it is a good omen, there must be treasures underground!"

When Cao Cao heard this, he quickly went downstairs and ordered a group of soldiers to dig it out.After a while, soldiers dug up a bronze sparrow in the golden light. Cao Cao asked Xun You quickly.

"What's the sign of this coming?"

Xun You remembered Cao Cao's words just now, and heard that he was quite worried about conquering the northwest and Jiangnan, and now he had this vision.Xun You's thoughts turned, his heart was thinking, and he was eager to think, and said immediately.

"There are rumors in ancient times that Shun's mother dreamed of a jade sparrow in her bosom, and she gave birth to the eternal emperor Shun. The bronze sparrow that the prime minister got today is an auspicious sign. It indicates that the prime minister will soon be like Shun, become the eternal emperor and win the world!"

Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard the words, and immediately got rid of his worries. He also thought that most of the soldiers in the army were war-weary because of the conquest of the Yuan family. This happened to appease everyone's hearts.Cao Cao then ordered to build a high platform to celebrate it, so much construction, Cao Cao thought in his heart, the bronze bird foreshadowed that he was destined to return, just to use this to reassure the hearts of the soldiers, and the two can deter the princes of the world and make them fearful. Frightened by the destiny, they came and descended one after another.

So Cao Cao immediately ordered people to break ground and wood, burn tiles and grind bricks, and build a bronze sparrow platform on the Zhanghe River.It took about a year to complete the work.The youngest son, Cao Zhi, understood Cao Cao's mind quite well, so he had admonitions.

"Father, if you want to shock the princes, you should rest assured that the construction of this platform will not be done hastily. My child has an idea. Build a platform with three towers. The taller one in the middle is called Tongque, and the one on the left is called Yulong. The one on the right is named Jinfeng. It is spectacular to make two flying bridges so that they go up across the sky. Only in this way can we get a miraculous effect.

Cao Cao nodded slightly and said.

"My son's words are right. If you want to achieve great results, this station should be the first in the world!"

It turns out that Cao Cao has five sons, but Cao Zhi is sensitive and intelligent, good at writing, singing and composing good words, and he can write easily and speak well.Cao Cao loves Cao Zhi the most on weekdays.So Cao Cao left Cao Zhi and Cao Pi to build a platform in Ye County.Cao Cao collected Yuan Shao's soldiers, a total of 40 million, and returned to Luoyang.Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty lined up and led hundreds of officials from the court to meet him. Cao Cao led his men and soldiers into the city, and the people cheered in unison.Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty held a large banquet in the Luoyang Palace to clean up the dust for all the meritorious people, which is naturally no problem.

Cao Cao enfeoffed meritorious officials, counselors such as Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Xun Yu, and Xun You, as well as Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xiahou Brothers, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Zhang Jai, Gao Lan, and other officers and men were all enshrined as Marquises.After the meritorious banquet was awarded, Cao Cao attacked the Yuan family and covered half of the country under his jurisdiction. Feeling cold.Since then, Cao Cao has been awe-inspiring at home and abroad, and everyone in the world is in danger, lest Cao Cao will lead an army to attack the territory under his jurisdiction in the next step.

Cao Cao's ambition to win the hearts of the world is well known.So where will his next move be?

A certain person, Cao Cao, gathered all the advisers and generals to discuss, and then made arrangements to fight for the great cause of the world.Fighting for the great cause of the world is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat. Cao Cao knows this truth well, and will never stick to the rules like Liu Biao and Liu Yan. In Cao Cao's eyes, such behavior is like sitting and waiting to die!

Cao Cao sat in the first seat, closed his eyes, and said calmly.

"Northwest, or Jiangnan. Can you make a decision?"

Everyone unconsciously cast their eyes on Jia Xu, the military advisor. Jia Xu saluted everyone humbly, and then turned his eyes to Guo Jia, and everyone looked at him immediately.At this time, Guo Jia's face was still a bit pale, since Cao Cao returned triumphantly, Cao Cao had a lot of affairs, and the banquet that he had agreed with Guo Jia had not yet been promised.Although Guo Jia has been recuperating for several months, he still hasn't improved. However, Guo Jia secretly ordered the imperial physician not to tell Cao Cao about this matter, so as not to distract Cao Cao.Those imperial physicians were afraid of Cao Cao, and they wanted to remind Cao Cao secretly, but Cao Cao was involved in affairs, and they never had the chance to get close to him.Therefore, Cao Cao didn't know that Guo Jia's illness was not cured yet.

Guo Jia got up slowly, forcibly pulled himself together, and bowed in salute.Jia Xu, Xun Yu, Xun You and other sharp-eyed people all realized that something was wrong with Guo Jia, and their expressions changed one after another.

<bao此时一心将放在他的霸业之上，难免会对麾下文武略有疏忽。不过于曹cao的霸业还或是情义之上，郭嘉皆不容有失。对于郭嘉的病情，荀彧不觉起了几分急意。

Xun Yu thought about it secretly, while Guo Jia had already opened his mouth to speak.

"My lord, if you want to conquer the south of the Yangtze River, you will need a big obstacle before you can succeed."

"Oh? The prime minister is powerful in the world. There are few peerless talents in the south of the Yangtze River. Liu Jingsheng is even more mediocre and incompetent. He only knows how to stick to one place. May I ask who in the south of the Yangtze River can hinder the prime minister's vanguard. I don't know who is the obstacle that Feng Xiaokou said?"

The examiner showed a slight look of shock, Cao Cao's power, he deeply felt it, so he asked this question.

"This person is Uncle Liu Huang who is famous all over the world in the name of benevolence. Liu Xuande!"
