The frail counselor you said, you fight against three heroes alone?

Chapter 254 The Situation Changes!Cao Cao's win over Xi Yu!

So these people don't have a good face.

Not very happy either.

But it was a very coincidence that they had already started spring when they left, and after the snow gradually melted, it was much easier to walk along the roadside.

Xi Yu sent them directly outside the city and returned them.

To be honest, the last time Huang Xu had such a big change, even if Cao Pi went to the Academy of Sciences, he didn’t see any precious things. Even if he did, he only saw some equipment that was eliminated by them.

These things are not considered secrets, so it doesn't hurt.

It's not that Xi Yu hates what Huang Xu and the others do.

Jia Xu followed behind, and on the way back, said to Xi Yu in a low voice: "My lord, we are already making arrangements now. After the second son returns, we will monitor Cao Gong's actions throughout the process!"

"He won't have any attitude!"

Xi Yu couldn't help laughing: "I'm very important to him now, and I'm sure I won't let it break my face, not to mention they have nothing to do with me!"

Jia Xu sighed, "But if they take over the North and South, they might be free to deal with us! After all, Qingzhou and Xuzhou are already wealthy!"

"To put it bluntly!" Jia Xu looked distressed: "No matter what they do now, they can only follow our ass. If they copy our theories and policies, they can develop to be honest! It can last forever!"

"But I have to ask a question!"

Xi Yu smiled: "What if they didn't win?"

To be honest, it's not that Jia Xu hasn't thought about this issue, he thinks he won't lose.

After all, there is a huge gap in strength.

Everyone knows how terrifying the energy is when hundreds of thousands of powerful troops march south!
What's more, in Jingzhou, Liu Biao and the two Sun brothers are almost abolished, and it is difficult to have a combat power comparable to Cao Jun. Liu Biao and Sun Ce also have a very big enmity, and they only need to take one step at a time, and they can sit back and relax.

But he didn't understand why his lord had such an idea.

Think Cao Cao will lose.

"Why are you so confident?"

"You don't need to know why."

Jia Xu frowned tightly, with question marks in her heart.

Xi Yu smiled slightly: "I don't think the south side is all trash! They are not mediocre in mastering these resources today!"

"Look slowly!"

Jia Xu's expression was a little broken, no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't figure out what it meant.

The South is no longer available.

All Jingzhou gentry moved to Xuzhou, Qingzhou, and they have already shown a very prosperous situation, and they will no longer contribute to that side.

"Do you really think so?"

"It's true," Xi Yu smiled, with a firm expression on his face: "They won't lose, not to mention that the soldiers on Cao Cao's side are also arrogant, if they can still win? Then it's still considered a victory." Is it fair!"

"The battle that broke out in Julu in ancient times, you can think about it, why Xiang Yu was able to kill Zhang Han's nearly [-] troops with only a few thousand people!"

"Do you think this is explained by courage?"

"Certainly not!"

"The reason why this situation can be achieved is only because they have one mind!"

"All forces form a city, work together!" Xi Yu's tone was very flat: "This is the situation in the south now. If they don't unite, they will definitely die a miserable death! Even if they surrender, they will have no good ending!"

"So they can only think about cooperation, maybe there is still a way to solve a little crisis! It won't be so easy to surrender!"

"However, we can also sit and watch the tigers fight, and have a good taste!"

Time slipped away bit by bit.

It didn't take long for the year 202 to come.

During this year, there was no problem with Cao Jun's supplies, and he directly captured Bingzhou and Chang'an, which directly shocked the princes in Guanzhong. Ma Teng and Han Sui had no choice but to grit their teeth and fight with Xi Liang side united and fought stubbornly in areas such as Jincheng and Zuli.

Moreover, Xiliang has also developed a variety of ordnance, and it is not necessarily inferior to Cao Jun.

Moreover, Ma Teng has many strong generals, such as Ma Chao, who was admired by everyone when he was a teenager in Guifeng Forest in Xiliang.

Under their leadership, Xiliang is not so easy to be breached. They even started a tug-of-war with Cao Jun over there, trying to take back Bingzhou.

At this time, Cao Jun had already withdrawn his soldiers and concentrated all his hands in the north.

Their current idea is to capture Youzhou and attack and oppress Youzhou. This winter, more than half of all the cities in Youzhou have been breached. Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi can only bite the bullet and resist.

It can be regarded as somewhat effective, at least stabilizing the north, but the residents feel panic and confusion because of this.

The two brothers of the Yuan family were both depressed and uncomfortable. They were even in poor health due to the long-distance raid, and many people died when they arrived. To be honest, many people suspected that they could only last a year or so here. At that time, the whole territory of Youzhou will belong to Cao Cao.

Because Cao Cao's food and grass are really sufficient, it has reached an outrageous level.

Marching knowledge is enough to bring enough food.

After capturing the city, it is possible to not attack the people, and even open the warehouse to release the grain, so that the people have a chance to survive.

So in 230, some time after the spring plowing, Youzhou fell, and only one of Yuan Shao's three children, Yuan Shang, remained. Yuan Xi went to the outside of the Great Wall and defected to the forces there.

To be honest, this is a very sad and ridiculous thing, becoming an ordinary herdsman.

However, Yuan Tan, this is a direct suicide, and all the people belong to Cao Cao.

According to statistics this year, Cao Cao has 30 infantry troops, and more than 30 elite troops. What's more, the army has sufficient food and grass. If he is willing to send troops, he will be invincible and invincible.

But now on the map of the north, there is no place that is not worried about everything, only a small area is still resisting.

Dahan has also entered a stage of prosperity.

The emperor also issued an edict to reward meritorious deeds.

The people in Qingzhou and Xuzhou were given some useless vacancies, and Xi Yu was only promoted slightly, and there was no other benefit.

Cao Cao still doesn't dare to move those two places, but he already has an idea.

The governor of Jizhou is Xiahou Dun.

As for the important official positions in the vicinity of Yangzhou, Cao Ren, Cheng Yu and others hold the positions, and the forces under them will gradually spread to Yangzhou and other places, and attack the city southward at any time.

They stationed troops in places such as Yingchuan and Runan in Yuzhou.

They can attack Jingzhou at any time. Apart from this matter, the same is true for Nanyang County.

And Cao Cao finally set his sights on the south.

However, it is impossible to fight, and you have to wait at least a year or two.

Cao Cao is also facing a situation now.

He had to make a choice!
In the autumn of the same year, during the autumn harvest, Qingzhou and Xuzhou took stock of their income, and it could be regarded as a new glory!
The development of commerce makes people feel dumbfounded. They even have some barbarian tribes doing business, and they have harvested a lot of rare things.

Even the city wall was built ten feet higher because of this, which is even stronger than the previous Shouchun.

As for Xiao Peisheng, it has also become a huge city, enough to accommodate a million residents, and the city walls are so high that even Dalian catapults cannot capture it.

The speed of development this year has also far exceeded everyone's expectations.

It's also because the bank's profits are very good, and even the living standards of residents have improved as a result.

Everyone has tasted the sweetness, so they are naturally willing to save money, and Xi Yu can be regarded as able to withdraw a large amount of wealth.

He can go to various regions to buy various materials, such as wood from Jiangdong and ore from Sichuan and Shu, so the development speed of Xi Yu will be much faster.

And one day, Zhuge Liang and Guo Jia walked directly into the palace-like government office, and then walked up the stairs step by step through the stone steps.

"Have you received any news?"

When leaving, Zhuge Liang did not forget to ask Guo Jia, with a very narrow expression.

"It's really a good time."

Guo Jia had a smile in his eyes, and felt that everyone probably had news, and this was the opportunity they had been waiting for for a long time.

It's finally time!

In short, this year Cao Cao was already testing the emperor's bottom line. He went up to the court with a sword, and he didn't care about any rules.

This incident also spread across the country at a fast speed.

Many people understand that this is Cao Cao's temptation.

He is about to start his own journey to conquer the world.

Especially when Xi Yu, Zhuge Liang, and Guo Jia arrived, Jia Xu was already waiting there.

The three of them greeted each other and communicated with each other. They entered the hall at the same time just now, while Xi Yu was still reading the news.

"You all should know, right?"

Xi Yu asked casually, but he didn't need to think too much, the three people in front of him definitely knew about it.

Chen Yuanlong was also waiting there. Chen Jia had now completely belonged to Xi Yu, and many young children in the clan were serving as some low-level officials.

Everyone stands up well.

After a while, Xi Yu asked again: "What do you think about Cao Cao's affairs?"

Jia Xu said directly: "He is completely subverting the rules. How could a qualified prime minister do such an act of arrogance! Not only will he be punished by the princes, but he will even be given the opportunity and reason for everyone to deal with him!"

"He may even say that he is not serving the king, but is imprisoning the emperor!"

Guo Jia almost thought the same way, his eyes were still full of anger: "He is just usurping the Han!"

"That's right, it's an act of usurping the throne!"

There was nothing wrong with Zhuge Liang's expression, but his words were very serious: "We should also expressly oppose it!"

After hearing this, Xi Yu laughed: "I received a letter yesterday."

"He wants me to be Sikong."

"It's absolutely impossible, this is a blatant solicitation!"

"If the lord agrees, we will almost stand on the opposite side of the world!"

"Even, the ground and effusion we laid will cause problems!"

Xi Yu laughed, his strength is now stronger than before, and he has not weakened at all.

"And I want to tell you, he wants me to meet Xun Yu and become a third prince at the same time! I also read Xun Yu's letter just now."

"But Xun Yu won't let me agree to this matter!"

"To be honest, I have to make a decision on this matter myself, but Cao Gong didn't tell me at all, and let me get the title directly. You should understand what's going on, right?"

Although Zhuge Liang and Jia Xu's people understood Xi Yu's temperament very well, they didn't say much at this moment.

"I'm going to find a pen and paper!"

Jia Xu's eyes lit up, and she said, Jia Ji also went to help, planning to write an article and send it to Xuchang.

What Xun Yu said, Xi Yu knew what this person was thinking, he would never do such a thing, nor would he approve of Cao Cao.

But Xi Yu didn't know why Xun Yu changed his face so quickly!
Maybe it's because his son can't handle it?
Cao Cao's operation is actually a kind of etiquette. If he can do it well, he can be promoted to the rank and become one of the three princes!

And this day is probably not too far away.

After owning the title of duke, he can "build a country". In history, he established the so-called Wei country in that area of ​​Yecheng.

And 213 years in history.That is to say, in the following ten years, the emperor named Cao Cao the Duke of Wei, and then added Jiuxi, but his original status did not change in any way.

Moreover, in the summer and July of that year, Cao Cao established the Wei State and directly became the State of China, and even vaguely surpassed the Han Dynasty.

But this was ten years ago, why was it so long in advance?

However, the reason why Cao Cao did this was also for the sake of his descendants.

The people behind him will never be able to complete these processes, but he has this ability, so even if he is scolded, he can only do it with his teeth gritted.

This kind of behavior is actually embezzling the foundation of the big man, and the dove occupies the magpie's nest.

In this way, the gentry have nothing to say, and those who do not obey them will be disintegrated and slowly disappear.

Then start to divide the benefits.

In fact, it is not complicated.

However, Xi Yu would definitely not submit to Cao Cao so easily. What Xi Yu wanted was for those loyal ministers to become his subordinates. As for the others, he didn't think much about it.

Because if I really voted for Cao Cao, it is still unknown how my clan would treat me.

Whether he will survive is the question.

Moreover, Xi Yu's family did not rise up either. Gan Mei and Mi's family only gave birth to two children at the beginning of this year, and Lu Lingqi also gave birth to a child.

It's not time to train them yet.

He didn't want to compete with Cao Cao.

After three days,

An urgent letter from Xuzhou arrived in Xun Yu's hands.

Xun Yu directly handed over the letter and the above form to Cao Cao, and read it in front of everyone.

They also chose to refuse.

To be honest, this is just a specific process, and you have to push it down before agreeing. It is best to push it three or four times, and reluctantly agree, in order to make your reputation better.

However, Cao Cao felt that it was okay for him to refuse, but when Xun Yu and Xi Yu refused, he felt a little angry.

Those were the two men he trusted more.

"I definitely want to refuse at this time, Wen Ruo, you don't need to be so impatient."

Cao Cao laughed.

And Sima Yi and others were also persuading there.

If this matter is not done now, it may be very troublesome in the future.

"Let's go first, since we have rejected it, we will discuss it later."

Cao Cao asked everyone to leave first, leaving only some clansmen, such as Xiahou Dun and Cao Ren.

They have just returned from their own territory, and they are also Cao Cao's close subordinates, so they can naturally be open-minded, and they have related interests, so naturally they will not oppose Cao Cao.

To be honest, Cao Cao was relatively calm, but he also felt a little regretful. He still remembered one thing that Xi Yu told him before.

"You and I are both Han Chinese, why does Jiang Shan have to be named Liu?"

Cao Cao recognized this sentence very much.

Now this big man is no longer in the hands of the Liu family, and even without him, Liu Xie might have died long ago.

You can't even live a life of luxury.

However, due to the situation on the clan's side, Xi Yu has drifted away from him.

If Xi Yu was still by his side and still had a close relationship with him, he would definitely not choose to refuse.

To be honest, Cao Cao only got the support of one of them, and both of them were able to be promoted smoothly, and even be crowned king.

In the future, my descendants will also be able to relax more easily.

But now it has become so difficult.

Cao Cao also asked the clan members in front of him: "What do you think now?"

Xiahou Dun raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "If we force this, it will definitely be a little troublesome and lose people's hearts!"

Cao Ren nodded and said, "Indeed."

Cao Cao felt a little helpless in his heart, and said with a smile: "To be honest, why are you so timid now? I didn't see you so frustrated before!"

Cao Ren and Xiahou Dun looked at each other, and were quite depressed in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say anything, so they could only bear it.

"Okay, I have a solution! Adding Jiuxi is definitely not a matter of day and night, you go back to each other first, and we will discuss it after three months!"

'At that time, this matter had to be resolved no matter what. If we didn't do it well, we would not be able to compete for the world at all! '

Cao Cao stood with his hands behind his back, with aloof and stern eyes.

The expressions of the Cao family members also softened a little, they naturally hoped that Cao Cao's side would get better and better.

Cao Cao not only became the head of the Cao family, but also became the uncrowned emperor.

He is really in the third rank, and it will be easier to send troops.

After a while, Cao Cao turned his attention to Xi Zhicai: "Zhicai, my Xianer is about the same age now, so send her directly to Xuzhou to marry Fengyi as my concubine!"

"This?"

Cao Cao's words made Cao Ren and others a little surprised. How could the prime minister's own daughter be made a concubine?
"He Jing has a descendant named He Jingshu, now in her prime, smart and beautiful, you send her there too, and marry Xi Yu together!"

"In addition to this matter, seal the two of them! Tentatively, it will be [-] households!"

Cao Ren didn't say much, Xiahou Dun was a little anxious: "Meng De, why should we be afraid of them? If we really hesitate, why don't we just kill them? No matter how powerful Xi Yu is, he's only single-handed. How can there be any enemy? !"

Cao Cao smiled slightly, his eyes determined: "Xi Yu is really the enemy of ten thousand people! And he is young and powerful now, so don't provoke him!"

"Do as I tell you."

"Yes!"
