Han family achievements

Chapter 483 Encountering Obstacles
When Xun Yu came back from the inner court, Zhong Yao and Xun You were already waiting.

As soon as Xun Yu entered the door, Xun You couldn't wait to ask: "What did your Majesty say when he summoned you?"

His Majesty in the palace has been silent since returning from his inspection tour, and has not mentioned a word about the results of his inspection tour. This makes the Chancellery, and even the government and the public quite worried.

Everyone in the Han Dynasty knew that His Majesty looked as gentle as jade, but in fact he was very domineering. Along the way, there were mountains of corpses, seas of blood, and heads rolling in.

Especially the insistence on the 'New Deal' made the ruling and opposition parties breathless.

The actual situation of the Han Dynasty was extremely clear to both the government and the public, but everyone in the palace was unsure about what His Majesty saw, what he discovered, and what he thought.

Will there be a new 'big policy' introduced, or will the court be further forced to push for a 'new policy'?
Xun Yu walked in with a relaxed smile and said, "Good thing."

After saying that, he sat down in his seat, poured a cup of tea, and drank it by himself.

Zhong Yao and Xun You looked at each other, looking at Xun Yu with confusion and expectation.

Xun Yu quenched his thirst, raised his head and said, "Close the door and don't allow anyone to come near."

The clerk at the porter next to him listened, walked over quickly, and quietly closed the door.

Zhong Yao and Xun You became more and more curious, and their eyes were on Xun Yu's face.

Xun Yu was an unsmiling and very reserved person. It was rare to see his smile at the Chancellery, especially after coming out of the palace.

Xun Yu waited for a moment, looked at the two of them with a bigger smile, and said, "Yuan Chang, Gongda, at Fanglin Garden just now, His Majesty made up his mind to establish a crown prince."

Xun You's expression suddenly changed and he blurted out: "Seriously?"

The government and the public have been worried about the impending crown prince. Since Liu Shao's birth, there have been many twists and turns, but the palace has always insisted on not establishing a crown prince, which makes the government and the public helpless.

Zhong Yao also looked excited and expectant, waiting for Xun Yu's confirmation words.

Xun Yu gave them an affirmative smile and said: "Your Majesty's golden words, I have heard them with my own ears, and they are not false. However, not now, we must wait for Cao Cao to pacify Wuhuan and follow the trend."

Zhong Yao and Xun You both beat their legs excitedly, with joy on their faces.

The 'Crown Prince' has always been a worry for them, and now this worry is finally going to be eliminated!

As long as the crown prince is settled, the world will be peaceful and no one will have a chance!
"Is it His Highness?" Zhong Yao suddenly became alert and asked.

Xun You also reacted, his eyes showing uneasiness, but looking at Xun Yu's relaxed expression, he immediately put it back.

Xun Yu nodded naturally and said: "This is Your Highness. Only the three of us know about this matter. It cannot be spread outside. We will wait until Cao Cao pacifies Wuhuan and everything can be settled."

Zhong Yao and Xun You heard this and nodded repeatedly with a smile.

As long as Liu Shao is the crown prince of the East Palace, it is indeed undisputed. The prince of the East Palace is settled, and the people of the government and the public are at ease!

From beginning to end, no one doubted whether Cao Cao could pacify Wuhuan.

Since the founding of the Han Dynasty, there has been no trouble that cannot be put down, whether it is domestic or foreign!

The strength of the Han Dynasty has been strengthened step by step since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. No one doubts it, even in today's situation!
Zhong Yao calmed down for a while, then suddenly regained his serious expression and said, "Then, did your Majesty make any other requests?"

Based on his past experience, once the palace makes a concession or gives a benefit, they must repay it!
Xun You also reacted and his expression became alert.

Xun Yu pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Your Majesty did not make any other requests."

Xun You was startled and said in disbelief: "Your Majesty has no other requests? Didn't the 'New Deal' also mention it?"

Xun Yu said: "I didn't mention it. Besides, Youzhou has been settled."

Xun You had a strange look on his face. He met Xun Yu's meaningful gaze and said, "I didn't mention it, but I also decided on Youzhou Mu. Whose person is it?"

Wang Lang was transferred to be the Minister of Personnel, and people in and out of the government were talking about the "Yang Party" being about to "rise" to a higher position to balance the growing "Yingchuan Party".

The direction of Xun You's "whose person" is very obvious.

Under the gazes of Zhong Yao and Xun You, Xun Yu said: "Zhu Jianping."

Xun You looked a little more stunned, then frowned and said, "Zhu Jianping? Your Majesty really didn't make any other requests?"

After establishing a crown prince and giving Youzhou pastoral care to the "Yingchuan Party", the palace really didn't ask for anything else?

At this moment, Xun You suspected that Xun Yu had colluded with the palace.

Xun Yu nodded, looked at Xun You and said, "Your Majesty did not mention it. However, Gongda, you can no longer obstruct the administration of officials."

Xun You stared at Xun Yu and saw that he couldn't see anything. He thought carefully about it for a while and said hesitantly: "Okay."

The palace gave him a Youzhou shepherd, but it would be disrespectful if he still insisted on refusing to give in and secretly obstructed it.

When Zhong Yao saw Xun You let go, he nodded secretly, but he was still worried and worried, and said: "Tell me, what did His Majesty see? So that his character changed drastically?"

In the past, the palace never engaged in loss-making 'business', but since His Majesty returned to the capital, he has been silent, as if he has lost the vigor he had before leaving the capital.

Or, what is brewing?
Xun Yu and Zhong Yao looked at each other, and they both saw each other's suspicions, and said calmly: "There is no need to worry about it. We have too many urgent matters at the moment, and we cannot think too much. On Cao Cao's side, Gongda, You We must fully support it. This is a major plan for the country and society, and there is no room for selfishness!”

Xun You immediately said: "I understand. I will instruct Zhu Jianping. I will personally write to the officials in Youzhou and order them to fully cooperate with Cao Cao and expel Wuhuan as soon as possible."

Xun Yu smiled with satisfaction and said: "Okay. Gongda, you can leave the capital in a few days. I want to go to Jizhou. I will leave the capital to Yuan Chang. What we need to pay special attention to is the big exam. Keep an eye on it. I I heard that Wang Jingxing has met many scholars preparing for the big exam recently."

Zhong Yao looked serious and said calmly: "I've heard about it too, I'll take care of it."

Xun Yu pondered for a moment and said: "What I'm worried about now is floods. The heavy rain keeps coming and everyone is in emergency. I have to find a way to squeeze out some more money and food. This year, we must not break the embankment!"

Zhong Yao and Xun You both nodded. Although the court was in a dilemma, there was always something to be done if they squeezed in.

"That's it,"

Xun Yu looked relaxed and said with a smile: "Gongda, be well prepared. After we leave Beijing, we must not cause any trouble."

If trouble occurs, they are not in Luoyang. If the palace becomes angry, they will be out of reach.

Xun You understood, stood up and said, "Okay. I'm going to see Zhu Jianping now. By the way, that Tian Feng is going out of Beijing to inspect the river, what should I say?"

"No,"

Xun Yu refused directly and said: "King Chen Liu has gone out, and the Yushitai cannot be left without someone in charge."

"I understand." Xun You said and left in a hurry.

Zhu Jianping's promotion to Youzhou Mu is big news and plays an important role in boosting the Yingchuan Party!

Looking at Xun You's hurried back, Zhong Yao turned his head and said to Xun Yu: "Are you intending to get away with it?"

Xun Yu said: "Your Majesty, you will also allocate 200,000,000 yuan for the confiscated Cao family to Hu Cao." Zhong Yao was startled for a moment and said, "Why can't you tell Gongda directly about this?"

Immediately, Zhong Yao opened his eyes slightly and said, "What's the problem?"

Xun Yu shook his head and said: "There is no problem. His Majesty did not mention anything else. But even if he did not mention it, I felt that there was a problem and did not tell Gongda clearly."

Zhong Yao understood, lowered his eyes, and fell into deep thought.

The benefits given by the palace are really not small. With so many benefits, the palace has no requirements at all. This is not the palace's style, it is too abnormal!

Zhong Yao thought about the court situation in his mind. After considering various possibilities, there were too many possibilities, but none of them was very certain.

"Your Majesty, what are you going to do?" Zhong Yao couldn't help but whisper to himself. By now, they were all sure that something was brewing in the palace, and these benefits were just foreshadowing.

The greater the benefit, the more they will have to pay in the future, and it will definitely be more difficult!

Seeing the importance, Xun Yu pondered and said nothing, "Don't think so much for now, but keep an eye on it."

Zhong Yao woke up and turned around, nodding slightly.

The palace's demands are often 'radical', 'inappropriate', or even 'risky' to them, but they are not too much for the country, the country and the country.

……

The city of Luoyang quickly returned to calm after the Cao family was confiscated and exiled, but the waves in the dark never disappeared.

Various forces in Luoyang City are very active, including not only the various forces of the Han Dynasty, but also the Qiang people, Xiongnu, Xianbei, Wuhuan and so on.

Either overtly or covertly, everyone has their own agenda.

Amid these turmoils, Cao Cao went all the way north and came to the Hutuo River to rest temporarily.

Cao Cao stood on a high ground, and with Cao Hong, Jia Xu, Shen Pei and others who were accompanying them, they pointed to the big river not far away and said with a loud smile: "If I were the shepherd of Xuzhou, I would definitely dig and connect these four rivers. With one pass, there will be no worries in the north!"

Shen Pei looked at it from a distance and said, "General, are you going to use canals to transport grain and grass?"

Cao Cao nodded, holding the hilt of the knife in his hand, with a cheerful mood and a cheerful expression, and said loudly: "Yes, once the tunnel is dug, the granary will flow along the river without any obstruction. It's just Wuhuan, so why worry about it?"

Jia Xu, the reviewer, Cao Hong and others all nodded. There is nothing to dispute about this.

However, if you want to dig through the four rivers, you will need a lot of manpower and material resources. Not to mention Youzhou, even the imperial court does not have the spare capacity to do these things.

At this time, Cao Ang, Lu Bu, and Sun Ce got up from a distance and galloped over. They tied up their horses and came directly up.

Cao Ang looked anxious and said: "Father, the spies in front said that the heavy rain flooded the official road, and there were many blocks that made it difficult to move forward."

Cao Cao looked calm and looked north, saying: "It will take two days to go there, and the rain should stop in two days."

Cao Ang immediately raised his hand and was about to speak, but Cao Hong suddenly coughed, interrupted Cao Ang, and said to Cao Cao: "What the general said is that a mere rain cannot stop the march of the army."

Cao Ang looked at Cao Hong, a little confused, but he still stopped talking.

Lu Bu strode forward, raised his hand and said solemnly: "General, Lu Bu is willing to be the vanguard!"

Cao Cao didn't like him, but it was undeniable that this man was so brave that he could be used for the time being. He nodded without hesitation and said: "Okay! I order you to order three thousand troops and set off immediately!"

"The last general takes orders!" Lu Bu was overjoyed and strode away, galloping on his horse, ready to order troops.

Shen Pei looked at Lu Bu's back, shook his head and said, "General, you don't recognize this man as your adopted son, do you?"

Cao Cao heard his sarcasm, stroked his beard and smiled, saying: "He, Lu Bu, is not qualified enough! Zhengnan, how do you think this battle should be fought?"

Zhengnan, the word for Shenpei.

Shen Pei glanced at Cao Cao and said calmly: "Of course we will advance the troops as fast as possible to catch Wuhuan by surprise. Isn't this the purpose of the general's unwillingness to stop and march in the rain?"

Cao Cao was not angry even after being pointed out by his judge. This was his strategy for the suppression. Seeing his judge nodding with satisfaction, he pointed his riding crop at Cao Ang and said, "Zhengnan, Quanzi, can you give me some advice?"

The judge immediately heard Cao Cao's intention and said calmly: "A certain person is not talented and is not worthy of being a teacher."

"Hahaha,"

Cao Cao laughed, turned around and walked down, saying: "Additional trial and appointment as Sima of another army."

"Yes." Cao Hong responded immediately.

Shen Pei frowned, with a look of boredom on his brows.

Cao Cao is a man who looks down upon others and never speaks the truth to others. At first glance, he is a man with ulterior motives!
Being recruited by such a person is undoubtedly a disaster!
That night, Cao Cao continued to advance, and when Wu ended, he could no longer march.

Inside the tent, Cao Cao looked towards the north, his expression as calm as iron.

Behind him stood Jia Xu, Shen Pei, Cao Hong, Cao Ang, Le Jin, Xiahou Dun, Sun Ce and other counselors and generals. They were all looking at the heavy rain, most of them frowning.

The rain was too heavy and the road was terribly muddy. I wanted to go around it, but Wuhuan had already stationed troops on the main road not far away, so there was no way around it.

I don't know how long it took, but Cao Cao said: "Wen He, is there anything you can do?"

Jia Xu was silent for a while and said, "Let's wait for the news from Lu Bu."

Lu Bu was the vanguard and had already crossed the muddy road ahead.

Jia Xu's meaning was actually very clear - he had no choice.

It's raining heavily and there's too much water on the road. Small groups can get by, but how can their army move forward? How to transport the food and fodder under escort?

What if Wuhuan on the opposite side takes the opportunity to launch an attack?
"Zhengnan?" Cao Cao was not surprised and asked again, his tone as calm as before.

Shen Pei looked at the heavy rain that had fallen for an unknown number of days and said: "There are only two options now, either withdraw the troops or wait for the heavy rain to stop."

Cao Ang, Cao Hong, Le Jin and others looked at him with displeasure on their faces.

What did this judge say? When marching and fighting, it's like playing house. If you say you don't want to fight, you won't fight. If you say you won't, then you will withdraw your troops?
Cao Cao held the sword in his left hand with an iron expression. He slowly raised his head and looked at the thick clouds. His narrow eyes narrowed and flickered slightly. He didn't know what he was thinking.

I don’t know how long it took, but amidst the heavy rain, a fast horse galloped over, splashing countless muddy water.

He came to Cao Cao's tent, jumped down, knelt down on one knee, and shouted loudly: "Report to General, Lieutenant Lu sent a message, saying that the road ahead is blocked by rocks and cannot advance, and requests to withdraw."

"Yes." Cao Cao said calmly without any hesitation.

Cao Hong, Le Jin, Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren and others looked at each other in disbelief.

Does this make Pioneer retreat?
Is it possible that they really want to withdraw their troops?
