Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1304 The Outbreak of the Central Plains War

Xu all.

Prime Minister's House.

"Damn it!" Cao Cao was furious, and his whole body was a little angry and murderous: "Where did he get the young emperor's secret edict? This is simply a coercion. It not only damages the young emperor's reputation, but also slanders the court. It is unforgivable!"

Originally, Yuan Shao forcibly pushed Liu He to the throne of God. He didn't really care about it. After all, there are many clans in the world, but the lineage of the former emperor still exists. First in line of succession.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Shao actually took out a copy of the young emperor's secret edict.

If it's just a trick, people in the world are not stupid, so they can see it naturally, even if they don't scold Yuan Shao angrily, they won't admit the existence of Liu He so easily.

However, this secret edict is not only the handwriting of the young emperor, but also the seal of the Jade Seal of Chuanguo.

National Jade Seal.

For the scholars in the world, it represents half orthodoxy.

With the seal of Chuanguo Yuxi.

Then this young emperor's secret edict, even if it is false, will become true.

"My lord, don't be so irritable!"

Guo Jia stood beside him, cupped his hands and saluted, and then said softly: "Although this matter is beyond our expectations, it is also reasonable. If we want to force Yuan Shao back, there will naturally be various situations. The reason for the current situation is that we underestimated Southwest!"

"Southwest again?"

Cao Cao said coldly with calm eyes.

"There are rumors that when Mujing entered Sichuan, the reason why Liu Zhang was lenient was because Mujing exchanged the Jade Seal of the Kingdom for a living space. There are many rumors, but one thing should be true. The Jade Seal is in the southwest, although I haven’t confirmed it yet, but I guess it’s probably true, when Mujing burned Luoyang and Chuan Guo’s jade seal disappeared, he must have hidden it, this man had ambitions long ago!”

Guo Jia's analysis: "Yuan Shao's intention to support Liu He as emperor is to resist our orthodox position. Naturally, Mu Jing will not be indifferent. He will not support Yuan Shao on the face of it. After all, he does not want to tear us apart completely. Shameless, but he hopes that Yuan Shao will fight us to the death, so it will definitely give Yuan Shao some advantages!"

Guo Jia smiled coldly: "He has the Jade Seal of Chuan Guo, and if he finds someone who can imitate the handwriting of the young emperor to learn a secret edict, naturally there will be the current young emperor's secret edict!"

"What a picture of a herding dragon!"

Cao Cao slammed his fist on the case table: "He deliberately made it difficult for us!"

"The matter has come to this point, and it doesn't make any sense for us to blame him. We still have to think about how to deal with it!" Guo Jia said: "Although the young emperor's secret edict has a certain weight, it is still difficult to influence the will of the people in the world. The emperor is in Xudu. What everyone in the world knows, the imperial decree of the emperor is more important than the so-called secret edict of the young emperor!"

"It makes sense!"

Cao Cao calmed down, he also knew that Mu Jing was an enemy, since he was an enemy, he would naturally not make it easier for him, at this time he couldn't get angry with Mu Jing, what was more important was how to deal with the situation in front of him.

The arrow is on the string and has to be sent.

The war must be fought.

But before that, first get back that disadvantage. Only when you get back this disadvantage can he have a higher chance of winning.

"Then now, how should we deal with it!"

Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia.

"Fast and fast!"

Guo Jia thought for a while and said: "Don't give the people in the world time to think, let the imperial court invite the general to return to the imperial court with the three imperial decrees, and if they don't, immediately declare war in the name of disrespecting the imperial court's holy will!"

It means leaving Liu He aside.

Now that Liu He is on the throne, people all over the world are watching the court's reaction.

But the court regarded Liu He as an air.

This will naturally reduce Liu He's influence, and it will also give many people the idea that the imperial court never takes this puppet surrounded by Yuan Shao in their eyes.

In this way, the orthodox position of the imperial court will naturally be affirmed and supported by more people.

"it is good!"

Cao Cao added: "Not only in name, but also in the military, we must preemptive strikes!"

He stepped over the desk and walked forward.

This is a sand table.

The sand table is a tool for combat deduction from the southwest, and it is suitable for use. Compared with those marching maps, it has a more direct sense of the senses, and it can be seen more clearly.

"Fight the white horse first!"

Cao Cao's eyes burst out with a touch of cold light, pointing to a place.

"Who's going?"

Guo Jia asked in a low voice.

"How about letting Xiahou Dun go?"

"Alright!" Guo Jia thought for a while, and said, "General Xiahou Dun is the champion of the three armies. His marching style is fierce, and he is suitable as a vanguard general. If we can get off the white horse first, it will be a good thing for us!"

"no!"

Cao Cao thought for a while, hesitated, and said, "Yuan Benchu ​​is already prepared, and it will definitely not be easy. Let us take down the white horse. Xiahoudun alone may not be able to break the city. Let Guan Yunchang follow!"

"Can Guan Yunchang be trusted?"

Guo Jia has always been skeptical about this.

"This is the most stubborn person I've ever seen. Threats and lures, fame and fortune, he can't be moved by him at all, and he is still a person whose heart is not with us!"

Cao Cao said calmly: "Since he is willing to go back to where Liu Bei is, let him go. The premise is that he can fight through Hebei!"

Cao Cao has never been a kind person.

Since Guan Yu cannot be recruited.

Then it can only squeeze his use value.

On the one hand, he can use Guan Yu to form an alliance with Liu Bei, and then he can use Guan Yu's peerless martial arts to fight for himself in Hebei.

It's killing two birds with one stone.

"Where is Lu Bu now?" Cao Cao asked suddenly.

"It should have passed Chenliu, and it's time to go to Dongjun!" Guo Jia said.

"You can't trust Lu Fengxian!"

Cao Cao never had absolute trust in Lu Bu. At the beginning, he only had a chance meeting to make Lu Bu submit to the camp: "I asked Cheng Yu to be his military adviser, how about it?"

"Cheng Yu?"

Guo Jia looked at Cao Cao, smiled, and said, "My lord intends to use Lu Bu as a master in the future, not just a vanguard general!"

Cheng Yu is an all-rounder in civil and military affairs, and is proficient in both internal affairs and military affairs.

And being human is just one word.

ruthless!
He is ruthless, but even Guo Jia can't compare to him.

With his assistance.

Lu Bu will be even more powerful than a tiger, and he is by no means comparable to ordinary pioneers.

"Lu Fengxian is a unparalleled general in the world, and he is good at commanding an army. He deserves to be treated like this!" Cao Cao said indifferently.

"It's not impossible!"

Guo Jia thought for a while, and said: "If Cheng Yu is here, Lu Fengxian will not dare to make mistakes first, and he can squeeze out his ability. Although this beast is half-hearted and has bad intentions, on the battlefield, it is true. He is a god of war, not only because he has reached the pinnacle of martial arts, but also when it comes to leading troops in battle, among all the generals of the Cao Clan, none can match him!"

"That's the decision!"

Cao Cao said in a low voice.

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

I thought it would take a month or two before the war started, but no one expected that Cao Cao's actions would be so fast.

In one day, the imperial court announced the three imperial edicts in the world.

All decrees are fatal.

Hebei and Yuan Shao were directly labeled as rebels.

Cao Cao declared war.

first battle.

Battle white horse.

Although Yuan Shao was preparing again, and was still thinking about attacking first, he did not expect that Cao Cao's actions were as fast as thunder. In less than five days, he had already occupied the white horse.

Ju Yi led the army and seized the white horse.

At the foot of Baima City, fighting with Guan Yu...

This battle directly opened the prelude to a war that swept across the five princes of the Central Plains.
