Chapter 73 Yuan Shao's plan; Cao Cao's heart; Liu Bei's cry
Cao Cao's proclamation shook the world, and the aspiring princes were restless.

Bohai County, Yuan Mansion.

"My lord, great joy, great joy!"

Feng Ji rushed into the mansion with a call to arms.

"Yuantu, why do you like it?"

Yuan Shao put down his teacup and asked.

Yuantu is the character of Fengji.

"Look, my lord!"

Fengji handed it over.

"This……!"

After Yuan Shao read Cao Cao's call to action, his expression kept changing.

"My lord, Dong Zhuo is in chaos, and Cao Cao's announcement is a good time for us to take advantage of the opportunity to rise up!" Feng Ji said excitedly, "My lord has the name of destroying eunuchs, and has the hope of four generations and three lords. His disciples and former officials are all over the world. Huh, the heroes will definitely respond, and you can easily become a prince, instead of staying in a small county and being restrained by Han Fu."

"It's really frustrating now!"

Yuan Shao stood up, his eyes fixed, his spirits were high, but he had already made a decision.

At this time, he has colorful eyebrows, starry eyes, and a heroic appearance. He does have a bit of a hero.

"My lord, at the invitation of Cao Cao, send troops to Luoyang. At that time, the princes will join forces and they will inevitably choose the leader. With the prestige of the lord, the position of the leader will be captured. At that time, the prestige will be stable, recruit talents, and raise soldiers. When Dong Zhuo is destroyed, the lord's power will surely reach its peak, and the scholars in the world will definitely be led by the lord, but the emperor can use his self-respect to cultivate power, and rise up when the time comes...!" Feng Ji paused, and then said, "Even if you lose in the end, With the prestige of the lord, after returning, you can seek to seize Jizhou!"

"Jizhou?"

Yuan Shao's face flushed when he heard this, but he forcibly suppressed his excitement and continued.

"If you want to do something big, if you don't occupy a state, you can't stand firm. Now Jizhou is strong and full, but Han Fu is mediocre. Instead, he will become the rear. Advance, look at the world, retreat, and stick to one side."

Fengji said.

"Yuan Tu deserves to have the talent to know the world, and my Zifang, with a few words, the world is watching, cough, come, come, come, Yuan Tu, let's talk about it!"

Yuan Shao was even more excited.

The two sat down and began to talk in detail, deducing various changes in the future.

But at this moment, a housekeeper ran in in a panic.

"Hurry up, what a formality!"

Yuan Shao's face darkened, very displeased.

"My lord, something is wrong!"

The housekeeper didn't care to wipe the sweat off his forehead, so he handed over a roll of silk.

Yuan Shao stood up and took it, opened it, his expression changed wildly, he put his hands on his chest, and cried out in grief: "It hurts me too!"

He sat down.

Feng Ji was puzzled, walked over, took a look, and felt dizzy, so good that he didn't fall, he murmured in disbelief: "When the establishment was abolished, the young emperor was blessed by the great ancestor, and killed Dong Zhuo in court, and beheaded him." Li Ru ordered Lu Bu to seal off the four gates, and killed Dong Zhuoman's family and his generals. Their heads rolled and their bones were like mountains. In court, Yuan Huai was beheaded, and nearly a hundred ministers were punished...an imperial edict has been issued, the Yuan family conspired against the nine clans, and the world can be united. Chase it!"

"Yuan Tu, why teach me?"

Yuan Shao came back to his senses and grabbed Feng Ji's arm, like a drowning man grabbing the last straw.

"This...!" Feng Ji forcibly stabilized his mind, his eyes rolled rapidly, and finally his eyes lit up, and he said: "My lord, do you believe that the young emperor can kill Dong Zhuohu in court at the age of ten?"

"Gaozu's blessing?"

"My lord, Gao Zu has been dead for hundreds of years, and he will still jump out of the coffin?"

"what do you mean?"

"My lord, it must be Lu Bu!" Feng Ji's thoughts have stabilized, and he said quickly, "With the ability of the young emperor, how can you kill Dong Zhuo? It must be Lu Bu. Lu Bu, worshiping Ding as his foster father, ended up killing him He also worshiped Dong Zhuo as his adoptive father. Judging from the current situation, he must be killed, and then he will take over the imperial capital and hold the young emperor hostage, so that he can make the princes. Lu Bu's three family slaves are ambitious and want to seize the throne and ruin the Han Dynasty. Our Yuan family is powerful, and Lu Bu'er must be afraid, so he coerced the emperor to issue this order, trying to clear the way!"

"Yes, it must be so!"

"But people in the world don't know!" Feng Ji said again, "My lord, the current plan is to spread the word to the world, saying that Lv Bu's wolf ambition, killing Dong Zhuo, holding the young emperor hostage, beheading all officials that day, intending to abolish and replace him. Pass it to the princes of the world. Discuss it together, Qing Jun side."

"The crime of treason is already committed, who can listen?"

"My lord, we are going to mess up the world now!"

"Take chestnuts from the fire in the chaotic world!" Yuan Shao showed a ruthless look, "Take Jizhou first, and stand firm!"

"That's the only way!" Feng Ji said, "In the past, it was necessary to cultivate prestige first, and then establish the foundation, but now it has to be reversed! First take Jizhou, gain a firm foothold, and then roar the world. Now the big man has fallen apart, and the princes have different opinions. Who doesn't want to stand on their own? To be king? Just use Lu Bu as an excuse to mobilize the princes of the world, the best...!"

Feng Ji licked his lips and narrowed his eyes: "My lord, the current strategy is to be more ruthless to have a chance. That is, to kill the young emperor and completely confirm Lu Bu's rebellious name!"

"Kill the Young Emperor!" Yuan Shao closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and took a long time to let out the turbid air, "This is the only way to protect my Yuan family, to...!"

Yuan Shao turned around and looked to the north.

At this time, the house slave came to report, and an old man came outside.

"A blue-eyed and childlike face, a white-haired old man holding a quinoa stick?"

Yuan Shao's heart couldn't help but move.

"Could it be...!"

Feng Ji trembled.

The two looked at each other and quickly walked out.

Jizhou.

Han Fu frowned, and couldn't help asking: "Ju Shou, what should I do?"

"Cao Cao's attack on Dong Zhuo is a great righteousness, and he should send troops. But now that Dong Zhuo is dead, His Majesty is in power, so he naturally obeys the military order. As for letting Zhou Mu capture Yuan Shao...!" Ju Shou hesitated, "Of course I obey the order!"

"It's just that this Jizhou Mu is ordered by Dong Zhuo. Will His Majesty settle the case in the future? Also, after all, this is a disciple of the Yuan family. If Yuan Shao and others are captured, wouldn't it be ungrateful? "

Han Fu was extremely conflicted.

He first received Cao Cao's proclamation, and then the imperial decree came, which made him in a dilemma.

"Nowadays, the world is full of hustle and bustle. You can't see the way ahead and guess the future. The dignified Dong Zhuo was killed in court. Is it because of Lu Bu, or is your majesty blessed by the great ancestor?" Ju Shou shook his head and said, "My lord, for today The plan should be to put stability first! The imperial decree is the righteousness, if you don't respect it, you will be dismissed from the official post under a single order, what should the lord do with himself?"

"Then arrest Yuan Shao!"

Han Fu no longer hesitated.

The place where Chen stayed.

Cao Cao held a piece of imperial edict, a piece of Yuan Shao's proclamation, and a piece of news he had just received, with a strange expression on his face.

He was full of revenge and could not use it. Not long ago, he gathered brothers in the clan, such as Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xia Houyuan, etc., pulled up a team, and issued a call to action, inviting the princes of the world to conquer Dong Zhuo.

But soon, the situation changed drastically.

He couldn't even react.

Cao Cao's grandfather, Cao Teng, was a prominent eunuch in the Eastern Han Dynasty.Father Cao Song, the official to Taiwei.Cao Cao has been alert since he was a child, and he likes to make friends with famous people. At the age of 20, he was recommended by the prefecture and county, with "Xiaolian" as "Lang", and awarded Luoyang Beiwei.During his tenure, he made five-color sticks and hung them on the gate of Weiyu. Anyone who violated the ban, regardless of their status, would be killed with sticks.Later, he moved to Dunqiu Ling and recruited Yilang.

In the seventh year of Lingdi Guanghe, he was changed to be a captain of cavalry, and he followed Huangfusong to suppress the Yellow Turban Army in Yingzhou, and moved to be the prime minister of Jinan.In the sixth year of Zhongping, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao defeated Dong Zhuo.Later, the Yellow Turban Army was suppressed, and the team grew stronger and stronger. In the first year of Jian'an, Xu County, the capital of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, was conferred the title of General and Marquis of Wuping.From then on, Cao Cao was in power, commanding the Quartet, destroying Lu Bu, breaking Yuan Shao, conquering Wuhuan, and unified northern China.

This was originally Cao Cao's rough trajectory.

Now, there has been a change.

"Aman, what are you doing calling your brothers here? Are you going to send troops?"

Cao Ren asked.

Cao Hong, Cao Zhen, Xia Houyuan and others all looked over.

"Look at it!"

Cao Cao passed the imperial decree, Yuan Shao's call to action, and the news from Luoyang.

Chen Liu's place is in the east of Luoyang, not far away, and the information he got is far more detailed than that of Yuan Shao and Han Fu.

"Young Emperor kills Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu surrenders, subdues Dong Zhuo's army almost without a single soldier? In front of the court, kills Yuan Huai, beheads hundreds of officials? And the Young Emperor is blessed by Gaozu and the Chixiao Sword?"

Cao Ren exclaimed.

Obviously this is the news Cao Cao got, which is extremely detailed.

"Your Majesty ordered Aman to lead us and go to Luoyang for an audience? Knowing that we are talented and should be reused? He also said that civil and military should be separated and not belong to each other, so we should listen to Aman's opinion?"

Xia Houyuan's eyes lit up.

"It's just that Yuan Shao said that Lu Bu held the young emperor hostage, this...!"

Cao Zhen was puzzled.

"The news I got is true, and His Majesty's decree is true. Now in Luoyang, His Majesty is in power, and Lu Bu, Hua Xiong, etc. have all surrendered. His Majesty has already commanded an army of 15, and Xu Rong and others have also surrendered and led the army to Luoyang. Waiting for the arrangement, plus these troops, the army in His Majesty's hands, at least 25!" Cao Cao said, "As for Yuan Shao, hey, the Yuan family's methods can hide it from others, but they can't hide it from me. I didn't expect to be known by His Majesty. In the Ming Dynasty, Yuan Huai was beheaded, and Yuan’s family was all over Luoyang, and Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others were wanted. Yuan Shao had no choice but to take risks.”

"Aman, what should we do?"

Cao Ren asked.

"Your Majesty's method is too cruel, isn't it? It is reported that a few days ago, Luoyang was flooded with heads, one-third of the ministers were killed, tens of thousands of people died, and I don't know how many people had their homes ransacked!"

Cao Zhen hesitated.

"Let's see who killed them?" Cao Cao shook his head and said, "It's either Dong Zhuo's loyalists or the Yuan family's disciples. Of course they should be killed. As for the people in the army, how many people died? Except for Dong Zhuo's death. Apart from loyalty, almost no one died, and all the officials have been promoted a few ranks. Especially Lu Bu, who has become General Wei, I can't help being envious and jealous. Your Majesty will separate civil and military affairs. From now on, military generals will no longer be subject to It is an unprecedented feat that civil servants are restrained and only listen to His Majesty's orders. If it is carried out smoothly, it will not be difficult for our Han Dynasty to be strong for another 400 years. However, Your Majesty acted too hastily. Failed, this great mountain and river...!"

He shook his head.

"Aman, didn't your majesty ask you to go and listen to your opinion?" Xia Houyuan said, "Obviously, your majesty knows your talent and can listen to your opinions. In addition to the separation of civil and military affairs, aman, this is my contribution What a great opportunity!"

"what about you?"

Cao Cao looked at his brothers.

"Hey, I said Aman, don't we all listen to you?"

"That's good, set off tomorrow, head to Luoyang!"

Cao Cao decided immediately.

On the other side, Liu Bei, who had been depressed all the time, received the imperial edict.

"Wuwuwu, Your Majesty knows me, Your Majesty knows me, you want me to wait for the three brothers to go to Luoyang, to be appointed officials and rewards, and I will no longer be useless from now on!"

Liu Bei was stunned for a long time, and then burst into tears.

　Silently put on the shelves.
