Cui Jun thought for a moment and said, "would it be that after annexing Yuan Shu's troops and horses, he would turn his head to deal with our army?"

Xun you shook his head and said, "this is just one of them. He always covetous Yuan Shu and Yuzhou, devouring the masses and occupying the city, which is the principle of nature. If he only wanted to deal with Yuan Shu, he could take part of his troops, cross the old granaries secretly, secretly return to the army, join forces glued in Yuzhou, surprise attack and capture Yuzhou, and throw Luoyang back to the Lord. Wouldn't he win Yuzhou again and be praised by the court? "

Cui Jun nodded slightly: "it seems that Cao Cao really has a different mind and is more difficult to deal with than Er yuan."

Liu he saw that they could not come up with a reason for the discussion at the moment, so he could only give up.

"If Cao Cao gets Yuan Shu's troops, it is far from our army. If he changes his mind, I can destroy him at any time."

Xunzi said, "what's your plan?"

Liu He looked at the sky outside his study and said slowly, "I will immediately issue an imperial edict to reward Cao Cao for recapturing the capital for the imperial court, defeat the traitor Yuan Shu, and order him to clean up all parts of the city, inside and outside the imperial palace. After a month, I personally led a large army of 100000 to welcome the emperor back to the court."

Xunzi said: "if you want to go to Luoyang, you can go fast, not slow. One month is enough to make Cao Cao chase him into Yuzhou, completely exterminate Yuan Shu, and collect his followers. By then, Cao Cao will support no less than 167000 troops. If we hold all the dangerous passes inside and outside Luoyang, and then attack the Lord and the son of heaven, we are afraid that our army will be extremely difficult to escape. "

Xun you also agreed: "yes, according to the suggestion of his subordinates, we should purchase a large number of grain and grass within ten days, and then send a large army immediately. At the same time, the two generals, Guan and Zhao, were recalled and stationed in Hanoi. If there is any accident, they can rush to Luoyang in half a day. Then Zhang and senior two generals were recruited to lead Han soldiers and Jindao camp to garrison Shangdang. General Zhaoye led the Shenji camp and 20000 soldiers to garrison Hedong. Three large armies formed a corner and threatened Luoyang. "

"In addition, if he can successfully occupy Luoyang, he can be regarded as a general of Wei. If he stays in the court, he will be sent to take over all his troops and be stationed in Yanzhou and Yuzhou. Even if he has any ambition and strategy, he will be like a rootless duckweed, and he will never be able to do anything."

Cui Jun echoed: "yes, Cao Cao's messenger hasn't arrived yet. It must have been deliberately delaying time. He wanted to invite our army to go after he completely destroyed Yuan Shu, so that he could have enough time to make arrangements. However, he didn't expect that the LORD had flying eagle guards watching Luoyang's movement at any time. In one day, he could know all the news of Luoyang. If he wants to be slow, our army will be fast. "

After two people say, Liu He also thoroughly understood.

"Well, according to the words of Gongda and Zhouping. Call immediately and inform all ministers that they will leave for Luoyang ten days later

As soon as the news came out, all the ministers in the court were elated and overjoyed. They thought that it would be at least a year or two before Liu He sent troops to capture Luoyang. However, they did not expect that their wish to return the capital would be realized so soon, which means that their contribution of "supporting and establishing a new king" is close at hand.

For a while, all the ministers rushed around the government, eager to set down the list of recommendations put forward on that day as soon as possible, so that after the establishment of the new dynasty, with such great achievements, these people on the list will be greatly valued.

The people in the city are also crying with joy. They are also proud of such a big event. As for those business travelers, they are even more surprised. After they left Luoyang, many of them lost a lot. Now they are back in Luoyang, and their business has been expanded. They can support the construction of Yunhai County, so as to help them win the title.

At this time, Cao Cao was leading his army to pursue the remains of Yuan Shu. At night, inside the camp, Cao Cao's face was as deep as water.

"It was only three days ago that our army defeated Yuan Shu. How could Liu he have learned two days ago that even the emperor's edict has been sent to me. Is this person's news too clever?"

Cheng Yu also looked puzzled: "from Hanoi to Luoyang to inquire about information, and then to Taiyuan, it would be a quick drive. It would take at least two days to find out the trace of our army and order someone to send an edict. The fastest time is four or five days. However, Liu He can do it in three days. It can only prove that he has sent someone to spy on all the movements of our army, but it is only our army As soon as the ambush was launched against Yuan Shu, the news had already been transmitted to Jinyang City, and all the places where our army went were monitored in real time. "

Xia Hou Dun looked startled: "if so, this means of Liu He is too shocking, isn't it? In this way, if we are against him in the future, where will our army lie in ambush and where will we be stationed? What is the secret

Cao Cao's face was livid, and he held the imperial edict inlaid with golden silk lines in his hand. He said with great determination: "Liu He must die. In the past, I thought I had overestimated him, but now I know that he has so many means. If I can't take this opportunity to kill him, I'm afraid I'll never have another chance. "

"Yes, after the victory, our army didn't immediately report to Jinyang. I'm afraid that Liu he would be suspicious. Now that he has 100000 troops with him, he must want to take over all parts of Luoyang at one fell swoop and push our army out of the land of Sili. If he is allowed to succeed, in the next step, the emperor will order him to withdraw from Yanzhou and Yuzhou after being threatened by hundreds of thousands of troops, and the Lord will have to follow if he does not obey. "Cheng Yu said with some urgency.

Xia Houyuan said: "however, our army has not succeeded in pursuing Yuan Shu. If we return to Luoyang at this time, Yuan Shu will flee to Yuzhou and join with his army. Will our army fail?"

Cao Cao immediately said: "miaocai, yuan let listen to the order."

"The end will be there!"

"Let you two unite ten thousand troops and continue to pursue and kill Yuan Shu. You should not only kill him, but also take advantage of the situation to attack the land of Yuzhou. If this matter fails, you should come to see him!"

"I will obey you." XiaHouYuan and XiahouDun returned to each other firmly.

Cao Cao stood in awe: "order the whole army to rest this morning. Tomorrow morning, we will cook at 5:00 and return to Luoyang as soon as possible."

His army was not far away from Luoyang. The next day, when it was dark, the whole army pulled out of the camp. Marquis Erxia led his troops to Yuzhou. Cao Cao led his troops back to Luoyang. One day and one night, he successfully returned to Luoyang.

The general left behind in the city naturally knew his Lord and quickly opened the gate to welcome him in.

Cao Cao was in a hurry and was about to give orders. He did not want the general who was guarding the city. There seemed to be something more urgent than him.

"My Lord, something has happened!"

Cao Cao's face was suddenly Alert: "what's the matter? Is it that Liu He's army has arrived? "

The general was stunned and did not know how he suddenly said such a sentence: "no, there will be no news about the general at the end of the day."

Cao Cao was relieved: "what's the matter?"

The general said in a hurry: "the Lord ordered the last general 10000 troops to stay in Luoyang. At the end of the tour, he found that the city was not empty."

When Cao Cao heard this, he became angry: "what a big deal is this? Even if most of the people in Luoyang were moved away by Liu He, some people should stay in the city. This should also cause panic, disturb the morale of the army, and be beheaded! "

"Hold on, my Lord." Xi Zhong said: "I see the general's face. I'm afraid there is a secret in it. Let him finish."

Cao Cao then yelled, "don't you say it quickly?"

The guard general just escaped from the ghost gate and came back in a cold sweat.

"Yes When the last general visited all parts of the city, hundreds of people came to look for him. They claimed to be... "

After a careful look at Cao Cao, he continued: "he claims to be an important official of the Han Dynasty and the head of the big families. Among them, one is Chen Ji of the Chen family in Yingchuan, another is Wei Mei of the Hedong Wei family, and Zheng Tai of the Zheng family in Xingyang..."

Cheng Yu was stunned: "how can it be them? They should have been beheaded by Liu He long ago? "

Xi Zhong suddenly thought of something: "ah, no mistake. After the Luoyang revolution, all these people were arrested and detained by Zhongyao, a Tingwei, ordered by Liu He. They were to be executed. However, after he was released from the city for a long time, he was sure to leave the city without worry

Cheng Yu suddenly said: "well, it's reasonable to say that. Yuan Shu, as the leader of the aristocracy, should treat these people more kindly, but he didn't expect that he would be expelled from Luoyang so soon. With these old, weak and disabled, he had to give up."

He said to Cao Cao, "my Lord, although these people have lost their reputation, they are still the most powerful people in the aristocratic family. It is better to go to see them and arrange them properly."

Cao Cao frowned and seemed to be thinking about something else. He asked the general, "how many of them are there?"

The general did not dare to conceal: "the man who called himself Chen Ji said that there were nearly 30000 people with relatives and family members, all in their respective residences."

"30000 people?" Cao Hong's eyes glared at him: "this is more than half of our army's troops."

Cheng Yu was not surprised: "these are the first-class and first-class families of my great man. As far as I know, there are nearly 20 people in the generation of Wei Mei's sons and nephews, including their daughter-in-law and son-in-law. If we add in the grandchildren, great grandchildren and family branches, it is reasonable that there are 30000 people in these hundreds of families. "

But Cao Cao's face was very ugly: "did they say what they wanted?"

The general replied, "my Lord, as they said, all the family property has been checked by Liu He, and now Yuan Shu has been defeated again. Everyone is hungry. Please allocate the grain quickly to let them have enough food. It's better to It's better to have wine and meat, and specially ordered the Lord to invite out their hundreds of owners in person and hold a banquet in the palace to celebrate the Lord's capture of Luoyang. "

"What?" Cao Hong almost jumped to his feet and said, "our army's grain and forage still have less than two months' expenditure. With 30000 of them open their mouths, don't they want to take away our army's grain and grass for at least one month? And wine and meat, daydreaming. If we were to fight Liu He's army later, it would not be Liu He who lacked food, but our army. Monde, this is not the case

Cao Cao didn't speak. Cheng Yu opened his mouth and wanted to say something. Finally, he stopped talking.

At this time, Guo Jia came over: "as soon as Liu he entered Luoyang, he had to execute all the rebellious officials of the imperial court. The Lord wanted to see the scholars in the world and begged hard. Liu he didn't allow it, but also killed them in front of the Lord. When the Lord faced such tyrannical people, he had no choice but to fight against them. He had to kill Liu He and support the son of heaven."When Cao Cao heard the speech, his eyes burst out in an instant.

"Cao Hong, I want you to do something..."
