Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1198
Xu capital city.

Cao Cao regards Mujing as his greatest enemy, and he is naturally the one who closely watches every move of the Minghou Mansion. The actions of the Minghou Mansion in Jingzhou have shocked the whole world, and he is the one who knows the most clearly.

"That's a lot of courage!"

In the evening, in the brightly lit prime minister's mansion, Cao Cao knelt down in front of the case, looking at the desk: "I always thought that I valued his Dragon Herding Picture enough, but now, I still feel that I underestimate this beast! "

"Lord!"

Xun Yu wore a long robe with a gentle manner. He stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Ming's move has the intention of subverting the country!"

His face was a little cold and a little heavy.

The Minghou Mansion reformed in Jingzhou.

The negative effects brought about are absolutely huge.

It will even affect the general trend of the world.

The reform in the prosperous age is just to change one law and regulation, break one order, and rebuild another order. Although it is difficult, whether it is successful or not, it does not matter who is the person sitting on the Ninth Five-Year Lord.

However, these days are troubled times.

Troubled times are a time to compete for the world. At this time, sudden reforms have greater significance. Abandoning the old order and creating a new order is tantamount to abandoning the imperial court and establishing an autonomous region.

That alone.

Enough for the court to define this as a rebellion.

"Whether it's subverting the country or not, we don't count!" Cao Cao shook his head and said calmly: "Your Majesty has the final say!"

He thought about it, and said: "I can't hide this matter. I am a minister. I should share my worries with you. Wen Ruo, you should report it to Your Majesty first. I am thinking of a way to see if I can suppress it. This Jingzhou matter!"

"promise!"

Xun Yu bowed his hands and took the order to leave.

Looking at the back of him leaving, Cao Cao's pupils had a strange light flickering.

Greeting the Son of Heaven, after all, has advantages and disadvantages.

The pros and cons were revealed so quickly, which caught him off guard.

Like now...

Although the civil servants and military generals under his command are very loyal to him, they still have a sense of belonging to the emperor. After all, the emperor is the emperor of the ninety-five years. Even himself, in name, he listens to the emperor.

The identity of the emperor is already a trump card.

If he knows how to win people's hearts.

There are still many of Cao Cao's subordinates who will be wooed away by him.

"My lord, don't worry!"

Guo Jia seemed to see Cao Cao's worry, smiled slightly, and said: "If Wen is a sensible person, he knows better than anyone else that the court is nothing without the lord!"

"Even so, he is still Han Chen!"

"Isn't the lord Han Chen?"

"So..." Cao Cao thought for a while, and sighed a little. He is a person with a very complicated personality. Even he himself can't read his own thoughts. What he really wants, he is sometimes confused.

"My lord, in fact, this matter is not difficult to solve!" Guo Jia said in a low voice.

"Say!"

Cao Cao's eyes lit up slightly, and he said bluntly.

"Since Wen Ruo still has feelings for His Majesty, the root cause of this lies in Your Majesty. If we try our best with arrogance, it will only be counterproductive. Let Wen Ruo and our hearts go against each other, and the gain outweighs the loss!"

Guo Jia said: "But if we can let His Majesty take the initiative, things will be different. If Xun Wen is not a foolish and loyal person, he just sticks to some principles, but if His Majesty completely disappoints him, then everything will be different! "

"It's a good idea, but it's not easy to sit up!"

Cao Cao said: "Don't underestimate the Son of Heaven. This guy is thoughtful and not a fool. He can make plans. He beheaded Dong Zhuo with one blow. It shows how deep the city is, and self-defeating. Maybe, a certain person will finally fulfill his generation." The way of Mingjun!"

He is now the first minister under the emperor.

Similarly, he is also the only reliance of the emperor.

Once he is above the imperial court, he loses his check and balance on the emperor, and the emperor will expand his influence, and then take Cao Jun under his command, which will become the capital for him to reorganize the country and dominate the world.

"My lord overestimated him!"

Guo Jia sneered: "It's not that I underestimate the Son of Heaven, but that he is still a thousand miles away from the lord. He was able to plot against Dong Zhuo because of his young age and seemingly harmless appearance, which made Dong Zhuo The enemy is underestimated!"

"But now, he is famous all over the world. Whether it is us or the princes of the world, we will guard against him first. People who are stared to death can't do anything!"

Guo Jia said confidently: "Even if he is a real dragon, it is just a dragon swimming in the shallows, and it is difficult to fly!"

"It makes sense!"

Cao Cao doesn't need to hide his emotions in front of Guo Jia. Cao Jun's trust in Guo Jia is unique, because only Guo Jia can best understand his ambitions, like-minded, close relationship, even blood, he can't help it Some sniggered, which did not conceal his attitude towards the emperor at all: "As for Liu Xie, he was really good at hiding back then, but he is not as good as the young emperor!"

Cao Cao met the young emperor.

It was ordered by the young emperor to stab Mushan back then.

In Cao Cao's heart, the young emperor is a true son of heaven, and he respects him very much for his bearing and courage in doing things.

It's just a pity that with the current situation, the young emperor could not escape death.

"However, Fengxiao, what do you think of the reform of the Minghou Mansion in Jingzhou, whether it will succeed or not?" Cao Cao is more concerned about this point.

"not sure!"

Guo Jia hesitated.

"Not sure?" Cao Cao was surprised.

"Ok!"

Guo Jia nodded: "I really can't tell!"

He is good at military planning, he can see the trend of the world most clearly, and he can make the most beneficial suggestions.

But in terms of government affairs, he is somewhat inferior to people like Xun Yu and Cheng Yu.

"My lord, if you really need my opinion, I can only discuss the matter alone!" Guo Jia thought for a while and said.

"Say!"

Cao Cao said in a deep voice.

"Mujing is a wolf, vicious and cunning, but he is more stable in doing things!" Guo Jia said, "From my perspective, it seems that he is taking the edge of the sword, but it is all about marching and fighting, and there is nothing he can do about it. The political layout has always been very stable, if you are not six-point sure, you will not do things!"

"The Minghou Mansion is so firm about this matter, it means that he must be sure!"

Guo Jia's eyes burst out with a sharp light: "And this is not a matter of Jingzhou. Mujing's heart is so big. If he wants to connect Jingyi into a line, he will definitely get it in the hinterland of Yizhou!"

"It makes sense for him to get Jingzhou!"

Cao Cao doubted: "But Yizhou, that is his base camp. It has been hard for him to develop these years. The strength of the Mu army generally comes from the stability of Yizhou. If it weren't for the support of Yizhou, a land of abundance, he would No matter how strong the Mu army is, it won't be able to hold on to repeated battles!"

From Xiliang to Guanzhong, and then from Guanzhong to Jingzhou, the momentum of the Mu army last year was really fierce, but behind this military, there was a powerful Minghou Mansion hidden.

Afterwards, Cao Cao called his advisers to discuss the matter.

Dissected from the root.

In the end, they had to agree with one thing. The Mu army not only surpassed everything in individual combat, military battle, and marching speed, but also created a complete network in terms of logistics supplies.

In this aspect, all the princes do not have it at present.

A stable logistics supply is something that many princes dream of.

But they couldn't ask for it.

It's not that I don't want to, but I can't do it.

Yizhou can do it because of the unprecedented abundance of food in Yizhou. Even if the princes of all parties add up, they may not be able to match it. This has made Yizhou powerful.

"Because of this, he will spare no expense!"

Guo Jia's analysis: "Last year's battle, the Mujun took the limelight, and there were some flaws. The instability in Yizhou is a hidden danger after all. He can suppress it once, twice, and every time. , if it cannot be changed from the root, Yizhou cannot completely become the foundation of his Minghou Mansion!"

"Still too risky!"

Cao Cao thought for a while: "If..."

He couldn't continue speaking, but his thoughts had already been expressed.

"My lord, don't think too much!"

Guo Jia shook his head: "Even if the lord intends to imitate, but now is definitely not the time. External adversity is hard to overcome, and internal turmoil. If we act rashly, our years of hard work will be ruined!"

"understand!"

Cao Cao was a little depressed: "So-and-so, after all, I can't be as free and easy as Mulongtu. This person is really cruel to the nobles, and he is very qualified. So-and-so, this is not as good as him!"

He is such a cunning and politically intelligent person, can't he see the benefits brought about by the Jingzhou Reform?

I can tell.

He also wants to follow suit. Once he comes to Yuzhou, Xuzhou and Yanzhou, he can gather all the power back. At that time, he will definitely be the strongest in the world, bar none.

The war potential of Yuzhou, Yanzhou and Xuzhou is so great that no one of the princes can match it.

However, the rich families of the gentry and the local gentry are all mixed up.

This is like a lock to check and balance Cao Cao, locking his lofty ambitions, making it difficult for him to exert his strongest strength.

But the matter of reform.

He couldn't do it.

Because he is not Mujing, he doesn't have the air of a bachelor, and he doesn't dare to take the achievements of his hard work for so many years to take a big gamble.

You must know that the Central Plains is adjacent to the four directions and has contact with all the princes. As long as there is a three-point chaos, it can be attacked by groups and swallowed together.

"My lord, he Mujing may not succeed!"

Guo Jia thought for a while and said.

"I do hope he succeeds!"

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and said, "You watch closely, all the details, everything, watch carefully for me!"

"promise!"

Guo Jia nodded.

..............................

Yecheng.

Recently Yuan Shao has become a little angry.

In the battle of Guanzhong, he was like a fool, suffering losses again and again, first he suffered from Xiliang, and then he was tricked by Mu Jun, and Liu Bei's mantis catching cicadas and orioles followed, and then he was killed by Cao Cao .

This made him very angry.

The purpose of sending troops to pass is to either kill the emperor or plunder the emperor and return.

But the purpose reaches the tribe.

The emperor couldn't kill him, so he let Cao Cao take it down. In the end, he lost his righteousness and couldn't control the central land, so he could only return to Hebei.

If it was placed in Emperor Ling's period, the great general would be his greatest wish, and he had yearned for it all his life.

however……

Now that's a shame.

"My lord, this is sent by the imperial court!"

The Grand General's Mansion was newly built. Although it was a shame, it finally gave Hebei a title. The Grand General opened the third division of Yitong and ruled Hebei. Tian Feng walked in and handed over a copy of the secret memorandum. Yuan Shao.

"Did someone send Cao Cao?" Yuan Shao narrowed his eyes.

"No!"

Tian Feng shook his head: "It should be the Son of Heaven!"

"The Son of Heaven?"

Yuan Shao's pupils were slightly solemn. To be honest, he was moved by the emperor's performance on the battlefield in Guanzhong. He didn't expect such a small guy to kill Dong Zhuo. It was very surprising.

"Under Cao Mengde's eyes, he can still pass on books to us. He has some skills!"

Yuan Shao called to play closely, the corner of his mouth was a bit cold.

"My lord, don't underestimate the Son of Heaven. This is a poisonous snake. Look, Dong Zhuo was also bitten by him suddenly, and he killed him directly!" Tian Feng said: "The big man's 400-year background, how much will he do next? , No one can say for sure, how much the late emperor will have some wealth, let him inherit, how much he controls, we still don't know!"

"It makes sense!"

Yuan Shao nodded, he had read the secret performance, and it was full of nonsense, but he showed a little willingness, the emperor hoped that he could return to the court.

"Although it is somewhat clever, the use of this imperial technique is too explicit!"

Yuan Shao kept the memorabilia aside, and said with curled lips.

He could see through the emperor's mind at a glance.

It is nothing more than using his strength and Cao Cao's strength to check and balance, so that the court will have a balance point, and he, an insignificant emperor, will have a meaning of existence. If he can achieve results from the balance, he can reorganize the court.

This is imperial art.

But he used it too rough.

To put it simply, it's just a mouth, with no benefit at all, no matter how hype is, it has no effect on Yuan Shao, an old world like Yuan Shao.

"My lord, don't be too harsh, the emperor is just a young man with a weak crown after all!"

Tian Feng said.

"Ignore him for now!" Yuan Shao asked in a low voice: "Yuan Hao, how much do you know about Jingzhou?"

"There are news coming back one after another!"

Tian Feng said: "But Ju Shou is dealing with it!"

He and Jushou were Yuan Shao's right-hand men, one satisfied Yuan Shao in government affairs, and the other trusted Yuan Shao in military strategy. They were two indispensable arms for Yuan Shao.

In history, Yuan Shao lost to Cao Cao, and there is another big reason, that is, he abandoned Tian Feng and Jushou.

"Let Jushou meet me!"

"promise!"

A guard outside took the order to leave, and after a while, Jushou came.

"Meet the lord!"

Jushou looks younger than Tian Feng, but older, he is one of the pillars of Hebei, Jizhou and Qingzhou, he has seen all the big and small things first, and then passed on to Yuan Shao.

"Gongyu, I want to know what you think of the changes in Jingzhou?" Yuan Shao asked.

"This is the government of a chaotic country!"

Ju Shou cupped his hands and said lightly.

"is it?"

Yuan Shao narrowed his eyes.

"My lord!" Ju Shou looked up, staring at Yuan Shao with scorching eyes, and said: "The changes in Jingzhou, what has changed is the law, and what has changed is also the way. It is unknown whether it will succeed or fail, but everyone in the world can imitate it. My lord, don't have any half-thoughts, otherwise you will cut off your own arm and kill yourself!"

His voice is heavy.

There is even a bit of a harsh breath.

He has always been as gentle as water, and he can have such a strong tone to warn Yuan Shao not to have the slightest thought about this matter.
