Hee Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 350 Cao Cao Godson (Third)

Changyi, the new imperial capital of the Han Dynasty and the hinterland of Yanzhou, the former Xudu has become the first layer of defense of the new imperial capital, and the general Xia Houyuan personally led [-] elite troops to guard it. Although Cao Cao was defeated by Yuan Xi, it was his first official crossing. Great victory, even Yuan Shao's death, still brought him enough prestige. In the hearts of the people, Cao Cao's defeat was more because of the terrible background in the north, and as long as the emperor was still in his hands, Cao Cao would still be the one. Da Sikong, who can command the heroes of the world in name, not to mention that he still holds Sili, Yuzhou, Yanzhou, Xuzhou, and a part of Yangzhou in his hands. Except for Yuan Xi, the number one king of Yan in troubled times, no one in the world has qualified to underestimate him.

In the new Sikong mansion in Changyi, hearty laughter rang out. In the inner hall, Cao Cao was holding a memorial in his hand, his face full of joy.

Xun Yu, Xun You, and Cheng Yu all smiled wryly and shook their heads. Sikong was so happy after being bullied like this.

"Sikong, I have ordered General Xiahouyuan to prepare, and Xiliang will provide support at any time." Xun You said, he has taken over Guo Jia's position, is in charge of the military, and has become a new generation of masterminds. A three-legged strategy.

"No, I can't afford it. He is reminding someone not to ignore the peace between the two parties because of such a trivial matter. The development of the matter has exceeded his expectations. He is reluctant now, but the majesty of the king It must be maintained again, so he thought of the emperor, he really knows how to calculate!" Cao Cao waved his hand indifferently.

"Sikong, then don't give it. If he is forced to kill Guan Ning and the other three, Yuan Xi will definitely be hurt." Cheng Yu said with cold eyes.

Cao Cao grinned, looked at Xun Yu and said, "Wen Ruo, since becoming this Sikong, which sentence is the most he has said?"

Xun Yu realized it instantly, and said with a smile, "What Sikong said the most is that he is never afraid of notoriety."

"By the way, reputation is just a tool in the hands of us people. We can pinch it as we like. What the people can hear is what we want them to know. A mere trio of officials and officials can hurt Yuan Xi. , that was a joke, even though he was defeated by this nephew, he was indeed powerful, and within such a short period of time, he had completely captured the north. Believe it or not, there will indeed be a little turmoil after the death of these three people , but it is estimated that with the viciousness of this nephew, these three people will soon be infamous in the north. If he unifies the world, these three people will probably disappear completely in history," Cao Cao said disdainfully.

"Sikong Yingming, in fact, I think this is a good thing, because as long as the emperor is summoned, in the eyes of the world, Yan Kingdom is still a vassal state of the great Han, and Sikong still holds this absolutely orthodox position. This is very important, because the second Guandu failed. , Many people are already dissatisfied with Sikong, and it is a win-win situation to build prestige and benevolence this time, we must look at the overall situation and not take advantage of small things," Xun You loudly supported.

"In addition, our army is now continuing to recuperate and hoard food, grass and soldiers. Yuan Xi has a fierce personality. If he is offended because of this matter, it is certain that he will never give up unless he makes trouble. This is different from ours. There are great conflicts in the two-year Anmin plan," Xun Yu said.

"Wen Ruo said something, and you can see clearly that although Yuan Xi is a second generation in name, he is actually the same as the others. He can be regarded as relying on his own efforts, courage and vision to defeat Cao and the two brothers who have great advantages. , won the north, and is also the master of entrepreneurship. This is completely different from that of Jiangdong Sun Quan, so he is by no means a person who suffered a loss and did not fight back. Qingzhou Yuan Ping's troops pointed directly at Xuzhou, It's just a thin line, Xuzhou's troops can't stop it, and the contract needs to be maintained, not to mention that Cao is still at a disadvantage now?" Cao Cao said with a slight smile.

"Sikong Yingming, after our army cultivates for two or three years, we will be able to seize the land of Guanzhong. Yizhou, the land of abundance, is joining with Sili. Our army's strength will inevitably skyrocket, and we will not be afraid of Yuan Xi," Xun Yu said.

"Haha, have all the spies been dispatched?" Cao Cao asked concerned.

"Sikong Anxin, both Jingzhou and Yizhou have been dispatched. There are no heroes or unscrupulous generals in these two places. There are many factions, so you don't want to mix them up. All the spies from my department will soon be at the top. However, Zhang Lu in Guanzhong is a bit troublesome. , the state and religion are united, although there is corruption, but if you say you want to go to Sikong, it is still a little bit of suffering," Xun You said.

"So someone sent Yun Chang over. He is more anxious than anyone else now, and he can't wait to go to the north immediately. This kind of vigor will definitely make him invincible. Zhang Lu can't stop it." Cao Cao waved his hand confidently.

"Speaking of which, why did Yuan Xi suddenly worship Liu Bei last time?" Cheng Yu said seriously.

"It must be profitable, otherwise he wouldn't do it? I just don't know where the benefit lies," Xun You frowned.

"No matter what it is, it's all about the north. It has nothing to do with us for the time being. Our army has two goals now. The first is to cultivate for two to three years, and the second is to focus on Yizhou and Guanzhong. Of course, if Jingzhou can, Cao wants too," Cao Cao laughed.

"promise!!"

"Sikong, it's not good." A middle-aged man who looked like a butler suddenly ran in anxiously.

"What's wrong?" Cao Cao frowned.

"General Xu Huang is kneeling outside the Sikong Mansion," the butler said.

"What?" Cao Cao was taken aback, and asked concerned, "What happened to Gongming?"

"Today, the third son drank too much. The drunken maniac was messing around in General Xu Huang's barracks, saying that he wanted to recite a poem for the master of a hundred battles. Tied up, sent back to the mansion, then General Xu Huang tied himself up, knelt outside Sikong's mansion, waiting for Sikong's punishment," the butler said in a low voice.

"Nizi" Cao Cao slapped the table, stood up angrily, and ordered: "You go to pass the order and tie him up immediately. The one who wants to kneel is not Gong Ming, but him, the naughty son."

"Sikong, don't be angry, the third son is also young and energetic, he must not have meant it," Xun Yu urged quickly.

"Young, Yuan Xi is as old as him. He is already the lord of the north and the king of a country. For the revival of the Yuan family, he works hard every day and prepares his troops. What about him? The more Cao Cao said, the more worried his face became, he said: "Not only Cao Zhi, but call all the heirs of XX, even Cao Chong is the same, XX should have a good chat with them"

"Nuo" the butler responded, "Then General Xu Huang"

"Go in person..." Cao Cao waved his hand and headed outside.

"Sikong, what about Yuan Xi?" Xun You asked immediately.

"Give it to him, but it is necessary to thoroughly publicize this matter to show the benevolence of the emperor and the orthodox status of Changyi. The ruler of the world is in Changyi, and even the Kingdom of Yan is under Changyi. ’” After Cao Cao gave his instructions, he walked outside.

"Promise!" After the three answered, Xun You glanced at Cao Cao who left angrily, and said, "Third Young Master is probably not feeling well today."

"Sikong is also worried about the future. After all, Yuan Xi is so young. If the young masters fail, the great cause will collapse in an instant," Cheng Yu said, shaking his head.

Xun Yu smiled wryly, and comforted him: "Sikong is still in good health, so we don't have to worry about it at all. Sikong will teach his son himself. Let's go back and discuss this matter, and then leave it to the northern envoys!"

"promise!"
