Chapter 1196 Xingping Six Years
The five years of Xingping passed quietly like this, but the six years of Xingping that followed were not a good year for Cao Cao.

Since last year's defeat by the Ma family, he was surrounded and trapped by 40 Ma's army, and he was wounded and defeated. Hundreds of thousands of Qingzhou soldiers were thrown in Jizhou. In the end, even he almost became the ghost of Ma Chao's gun. It was a fiasco that Cao Cao had never experienced since he led the army.I lost face so much that I couldn't lift my head up, and my vitality was so hurt that I couldn't straighten up.Especially in the later stage of Cao Tai's negotiations, he lost his power and humiliated the country, directly turning all the previous situation into a joke in the world.

If it was possible, Cao Cao really wished that God would strike a thunderbolt and kill Ma Chao and his Ma's army.

Before the wounds of the war could heal, a natural disaster happened.Perhaps the winter in Xingping five years was not too cold, and the locust eggs were not frozen to death, or perhaps God intended to give the common people fairness.In July, swarms of locusts filled the sky of Yanzhou blackly, like tumbling dark clouds and raging storms. Wherever they passed, they gnawed mulberry, grass, grass, and trees. There is not even a single stalk of millet left.The people were so hungry and cold that they wailed and wailed everywhere. They helped the old and the young to flee to Sizhou, Qingzhou, and Xuzhou.Standing on Xuchang City, Cao Cao could not help but feel sad when he saw this miserable scene.

What's even more tragic is that Cao Cao was still the one holding the emperor hostage.The plague of locusts has always been considered to be a failure of moral government, and the emperor should punish himself.However, everyone in the world knows that the emperor has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and the government orders are all determined by the Sikong Mansion.All of a sudden, Cao Cao was pushed to the top of the storm, and those old men and officials began to stir up trouble and spread rumors again.

What made Cao Cao intolerable the most was that this civil strife was only aimed at him, Cao.But Jing'an Cao reported that the customs of the people all over the world have already pointed to the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty! ——With the previous example of fighting locusts in Majia Town, people suddenly discovered that when the Han Dynasty Zhengtong and the Cao family Sikong faced natural disasters, they had no strong measures to make the people displaced.As a result, for a while, the Ma family did nothing, but successfully suppressed the prestige of the Han Dynasty and raised its prestige.

Regarding this point, Cao Cao and his staff were frowning.At this time, the relationship between the Cao family and the Han Dynasty really entered a very unfriendly node.Last year, after Ren Jun analyzed that Liu Xie still had the intention of cutting off the Cao family, Cao Cao took a more cool approach to the emperor, restricting Liu Xie's power to the deep palace.However, the more this is the case, the more it is opposed by the officials.Although the resistance forces of Dong Cheng's family have been completely eradicated, there seems to be a new force emerging from the court.

Most obviously, Cao Cao thought that Yang Biao, who was inextricably linked to the Ma family, was not a good person.Cao Cao believed that his assassination had an indescribable connection with Yang Biao no matter how he looked at it.What's more, Cao Cao recently discovered that Yang Biao had been avoiding him all the time. Even after the locust disaster, he even used the excuse of being sick, and would never go to court unless His Majesty ordered him to do so.

There is also Kong Rong, the young man who escaped by chance when cutting off Dong Chengyi's faction. Recently, he even put on a posture of revitalizing the dignity and loyalty of the Han Dynasty, and declared that this is a great mission, just like his twentieth ancestor Kong Qiu diligently pursued It's the same as revival Zhou Li - this made Cao Cao very annoyed with Kong Rong, but he couldn't do anything because of Kong Rong's status as a famous scholar.

The ruling main force of the middle and lower classes of the Cao family is the scholars.The Ma family's imperial examination won the hearts of poor scholars from all over the world, and a huge number of field students worked tirelessly to pour into the holy place in their hearts in Chang'an.On the one hand, Cao Cao also learned to reform the way of acquiring talents, and on the other hand, he also needed to use Kong Rong's name to win over the children of the gentry.

This embarrassing and suffocating reality made Cao Cao show murderous intentions to Kong Rong in the court from time to time.In order to frighten Kong Rong, Cao Cao also deliberately dismissed Sikong Zhang Xi and killed Yilang Zhao Yan who liked to raise opinions.Seeing this, Kong Rong even more reprimanded Cao Cao for eliminating dissidents and deceiving the emperor.

For all this, Cao Cao was anxious and hated in his heart.Since the beginning of this year, small-scale rebellions in various places have begun to appear again.The yellow turban thieves in Yanzhou are vaguely showing signs of resurgence, and the people at the bottom of Xuzhou also have voices calling for the return of Liu Huangshu... Facing many crises, Cao Cao and all his staff agreed that a victory must be won to stabilize the position of the Cao family.Strengthen Cao Cao's prestige and divert the contradictions under his rule.

Therefore, Cao Cao turned his attention to Yuan Tan in Qingzhou-although Cao Cao seems to have internal and external troubles at the moment, he is still very powerful compared to Yuan Tan.Especially Yuan Tan, who remembers eating but not beating, even after Cao Cao married his daughter to him, he even credited himself for not sending troops to Jizhou to defeat Cao. Literally.And this guy is really dishonest, he listens to the tune and doesn't listen to the announcement, so it is really justifiable to crusade against him.

In September, Cao Cao ordered Cao Ren, General of Zhendong, and General Zhang He of Pingdi to leave Mount Tai, and General Xiahou Dun of Zhennan to leave Qu County.He personally led [-] Qingzhou elite soldiers, led generals Cao Zhen, Cao Tai, Xia Houshang, Li Dian and others as the Chinese army, and sent troops to Xuchang.Cao Cao used force again, and its deterrent effect is still great.Under the unanimous attack of the three armies, Qingzhou was in a hurry.Yuan Tan was originally a bloodthirsty and incompetent person. At this time, Wang Xiu was the only counselor under his tent, and he never listened to persuasion.Facing Cao Cao's offensive, Yuan Tan was furious immediately, and personally led an army of [-] to fight.

However, before confronting Cao Cao's main force, and encountering Cao Ren, Yuan Tan saw that Cao's army's weapons were far superior to his own.After two thousand tigers and leopards charged, ten thousand infantrymen were killed and left without armor.Yuan Tan couldn't figure out why he didn't even have a chance to fight against him, so he lost for no reason.After that, he had no choice but to retreat into Huangxian County, Dongnai County, and defended with strong walls and clear fields.

Cao Cao's army came in person. On the one hand, he ordered the soldiers to pile up earth mountains, dig tunnels, erect towers and sculls near the city, and shoot arrows into the city. The general who is accustomed to fighting led his troops out and quickly occupied the surrounding counties.After Yuan Tan had been trapped for two months, he suddenly realized that he had even cut off his way of retreat. He lost his courage and took the route of his wife.

After Cao Cao's daughter entered Cao Ying, instead of interceding for Yuan Tan, she told the military deployment of Donglai County together. Back to Huang County.Yuan Tan was overjoyed to see him, and set up a banquet to have a drink with Cao Tai. Cao Tai immediately poured Yuan Tan over and bound him.After that, he cheated to open the city gate to lead Cao Jun into the city, and Qingzhou was leveled.

This battle can be said to be the only bright spot of the year. Cao Cao once again used his genius combat ability to let the world see who the traitor they despise the most in their hearts, and greatly shocked those in the court. He will talk about the eagerness of scholar-bureaucrats.

However, the battle to destroy Yuan Zhinian was probably too strange and vast, so that the already numb people didn't have much feeling for this battle.Everyone felt that this year, if the two talented teenagers, Bei Ma Chao and Nan Sun Ce, did not make a move, it seemed that there would be no big battle worth commenting on in the world.

Cao Cao beat Yuan Tan?Isn't the outcome already predetermined?

What, have you been fighting for more than three months?
The level is too stinky, it should be done in a month...

In this way, the six years of Xingping passed quietly amidst the regrets of the world.As for the Ma family and Sun Ce, whom they placed high hopes on, the two families have always been very quiet.It wasn't until after the Spring Festival that another news suddenly broke out, which gave the ordinary world something to talk about after dinner: Jiangdong's little overlord and beautiful son Zhou Yu wanted to marry Qiao Guolao's second daughter as his wife!

After the news reached Chang'an, Ma Chao suddenly raised his head from the government affairs, and asked Diao Chan, "I remember, you said that Li Junyou was either Mi Fan or Da Qiao?!"

Diao Chan was also taken aback, but then his face returned to calm, and You You said: "It seems that it is time to come, and it is still coming. Yes, that Da Qiao, you should be sure that it is the little lover Li Junyou that you have longed for in the previous life." ..."
