We agreed that you, a weak strategist, would fight against three heroes by yourself?

"Fengyi!"

"Fengyi!"

In the main hall of the Juancheng Yamen Office, Cao Cao was a little worried about Sun Ce, the sudden thorn in his side.

In the main hall, all the counselors were talking in low voices.

Cao Cao's eyes were scanning, and he happened to see Xi Yu's eyebrows raised slightly at this moment, and his expression seemed to be in a trance.

Involuntarily, Cao Cao couldn't help but shouted at Xi Yu twice.

The sound was not loud, a bit like he was afraid of disturbing Xi Yu, but also a bit impatient.

Just in time, a gentle breeze passed by.

Xi Yu gradually came back to his senses as Cao Cao shouted twice.

It's August, the wind is high and the air is crisp.

The main hall where the meeting was held was filled with all the princes, and the four white jade pillars were glowing, illuminating the entire main hall.

When the breeze passed by, it caused the gauze curtains on both sides to swing slightly.

Cao Cao's two shouts had already made everyone in the main hall gradually become quieter.

Everyone's eyes followed Cao Cao and all fell on Xi Yu.

"Brother, did you call me?"

Xi Yu grinned lightly, his expression unhurried.

Seeing this scene, Cao Cao looked a little resentful.

"What do you want from Fengyi?"

Cao Cao just thought that Xi Yu was in a daze just now, and couldn't help but asked curiously.

Cao Chun, who was standing next to him, laughed subconsciously: "I think Fengyi is thinking about a girl from some family!"

As soon as this voice came out, there were several laughters in the main hall.

Xi Yu raised his eyes and glanced at Cao Chun, who had spoken out. The latter couldn't help but paused.

The laughter in the main hall suddenly stopped.

"It's just that my brother just mentioned Sun Ce, and Yu couldn't help but have more thoughts!"

Xi Yu turned around and explained to Cao Cao.

Upon hearing this, Cao Cao first glared at Cao Chun, who had just spoken, and then quickly turned his attention back to Xi Yu.

"Oh, what are you thinking about Fengyi?"

Cao Cao's curiosity was aroused, and he was troubled by this guy Sun Ce who suddenly appeared!

The thoughts that Xi Yu felt when he heard about it now were also caused by Sun Ce.

Naturally, my curiosity became more intense.

"I'm thinking, now that the autumn harvest has passed, it's time for our army to move!"

Xi Yu's expression was indifferent, and the words that came out of his mouth made Cao Cao's eyes light up.

On the side, a group of advisers subconsciously looked at Xi Yu.

The autumn harvest had just passed. What Xi Yu meant was that he suggested that Cao Cao send troops!

Except for a group of counselors.

All the generals on the right raised their ears.

Send troops!

This is what they are most concerned about.

Since the capture of Xuzhou, the entire Yanzhou has advocated self-cultivation and self-cultivation. For more than a year, these generals have been feeling exhausted!

Except for Cao Ren who was guarding Xuzhou, none of the generals who had been following Cao Cao were thinking about leading troops to the expedition.

Now that Xi Yu brought up the idea of ​​sending troops, the hearts of these people became hot in an instant.

"good!"

Cao Cao subconsciously shouted "Hello". Seeing that Xi Yu didn't seem to have finished speaking, he quickly laughed and stretched out his hand.

"Be loyal and keep your word!"

Cao Cao straightened his figure and straightened his clothes along with his hands.

At this time, everyone in the main hall was watching Xi Yu.

The expressions of the counselors also became extremely serious, and the generals leaned forward one by one.

They were just waiting for Xi Yu to tell them where to hit, so that they could be the first to rush out and ask for help.

Xi Yu didn't hesitate too much. He stood up and walked towards the regional map hanging in the main hall.

"Now our army has occupied Yan and Xu states!"

"This time the Emperor returns east, Yu has just been thinking, if we want to welcome the Emperor, where should we do it?"

Xi Yu asked with a smile.

As soon as he said this, the crowd subconsciously responded.

"Of course Feng Ying came to Juancheng!"

As soon as the voice came out, some people in the hall nodded in agreement.

Cao Cao also frowned.

He had only thought about pleasing the emperor before. As for where to place the emperor, he had not thought about it before.

Juancheng?

Not bad!

"Lord, I'm afraid Juancheng can't do it!"

After Xi Yu just raised the question, Xun Yu, who was on the left hand side of the main hall, immediately began to think about it.

When someone mentioned Juancheng, he subconsciously thought about it.

However, after much deliberation, Juancheng is not a feasible place after all.

"My lord, although Juancheng is good, it is not suitable for welcoming the emperor!"

As soon as Xun Yu spoke these words, Cao Cao also came to his senses.

Indeed, Juancheng is not a suitable place at all!

Although the situation in Yanzhou has been better than before in the past two years, the whole Juancheng is more prosperous.

But Juancheng is too small after all.

To greet the emperor respectfully, I lose a bit of confidence.

What's more, this is the place where he started. Will the emperor come easily? Wouldn't the princes who follow the emperor be afraid of him?

Again!

Yanzhou is adjacent to Yuan Shao, and although Juancheng is deeply rooted, Yuan Shao is still not something Cao Cao can compete with.

If he and Yuan Shao once broke up, wouldn't it be like putting the emperor in Yuan Shao's face?

At that time, could the emperor still be in his own hands safely?

In just a moment, the thoughts in Cao Cao's mind had already rejected Juancheng.

"Wen Ruo is right, Juancheng is not suitable for the emperor!"

After Cao Cao opened his mouth to deny it, he stopped mid-sentence.

Juancheng cannot cater to the emperor, so what place is suitable?

For a moment, Cao Cao couldn't think of any good places.

He subconsciously looked towards the group of advisers, and they also discussed a place suitable for the emperor.

"The old capital, Luoyang?"

Someone suggested.

Cao Cao frowned subconsciously.

The old capital of Luoyang was originally the capital of the Han Dynasty, so there was no problem in catering to the emperor.

However, Cao Cao still remembers the scenery of Luoyang to this day.

After Dong Zhuo moved the capital, Luoyang was burned to the ground by Dong Zhuo.

Luoyang, the originally prosperous imperial capital, still looks like the imperial capital of the Han Dynasty.

Today's Luoyang can only be called an abandoned city.

"My lord, you can march into Chang'an and welcome the emperor and Chang'an!"

Someone made a suggestion here, but as soon as the words came out, they were rejected by the people next to them.

Today's Chang'an is not only suffering from poor people's livelihood, but also experiencing a severe drought.

Furthermore, although Li Jue and Guo Bang have now left Chang'an, that place is still the root of the two.

If you want to march into Chang'an, you can't bypass Li Jue and Guo Si!

"What do you think of Fengyi?"

When Cao Cao was hesitant, Xun Yu next to him laughed.

He thought about who brought up this topic, and his eyes naturally fell on the person who brought it up in the first place.

At this time, Fengyi was standing on the regional map and looking at it.

As soon as Xun Yu opened his mouth, Cao Cao seemed to react.

yes!

Fengyi mentioned this. Since he said he wanted to settle down the emperor, he must have had something in mind.

Instead of thinking about it yourself, it would be better to listen to what Xi Yu has to say.

Everyone looked at Xi Yu.

Cao Cao also looked at the geographical map in front of him.

"The place where the emperor lives should be the imperial capital of a country. It is too narrow."

"You can't succeed in defeat, you can't succeed in being remote!"

"When it extends in all directions, it has the potential to overlook the world of Jiuzhou!"

Xi Yu spoke calmly, his words neither urgent nor slow.

The people around him listened attentively, but were not anxious at all.

"The imperial capital Luoyang was like this at that time, and the western capital Chang'an was also like this!"

"Both of these are geographically advantageous places!"

"However, this time, these two places do not occupy the time of day, nor the harmony of people!"

Xi Yu shook his head slightly and casually rejected Luoyang, the former imperial capital, and Chang'an, the western capital where the emperor has lived for several years.

In Luoyang, the old capital can naturally be rebuilt, and the population can naturally be restored.

But denying its fundamentals is just an excuse.

More importantly, Luoyang is the old capital. If the emperor returns to Luoyang, the power of the Han Dynasty will inevitably rise.

Furthermore, where Luoyang is, it is surrounded by princes on all sides.

This situation is not good for Cao Jun!

In catering to the Emperor and Luoyang, Cao Cao will inevitably be hampered by all parties, and the development of Cao Cao's army will be different from the original plan.

As for Chang'an, it was beyond Cao Cao's reach.

The similarities and differences in form between Chang'an and Luoyang were naturally denied.

Both of them are now in ruins, and recovery itself is extremely time-consuming.

Rather than choosing both, it’s better to give up on both!

What's more, history has already given the answer, and Xi Yu only needs to follow the script and it will be easy.

"In that case, where does Fengyi think it is suitable to please the emperor?"

Cao Cao was confused, so he opened his mouth and asked.

As soon as he said this, Cao Chun next to him also shouted.

"Sir, don't be pretentious. Just tell me where the place is suitable."

Xi Yu turned his head and looked at the regional map in front of him.

"Yuzhou!"

After finishing his words, Xi Yu stretched out his finger and pointed at Yuzhou, where the regional map is located.

"Xu County!"

"This place is not far from the old capital Luoyang. I chose this place to welcome the emperor. I think the emperor and the Han courtiers have no intention of resisting!"

"Both, this place is not the foundation of our army. The emperor and his courtiers will not be afraid of my brother because of this!"

"Third, this place is the hinterland of the Central Plains, the terrain is open, and the imperial city built here can gather the king's energy!"

Xi Yu explained casually. After a pause, he spoke again.

"This area is full of outstanding people. If we build a capital here, we can attract talents from all over the world to gather together!"

"The terrain of Xu County has its own advantages. The land is open and full of rivers on all sides, and the land is fertile."

"This place is bounded by the Yellow River to the north, Hulao to the west, and Jianghuai to the south. It is the most beautiful place in the world!"

Xi Yu paused here.

As he finished speaking, Cao Cao's eyes were already fixed on the location of Xu County on the regional map.

Just as Xi Yu said, with just one glance, Cao Cao could already see the advantages of Xu County.

"It's true as Fengyi said!"

“What a great place!”

Cao Cao spoke, having already confirmed everything Xi Yu just said.

Just during this time, Cao Chun, who was standing next to him, looked at Xu County twice and then said something casually.

"Brother, Xu County is not under our army now!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone seemed to have just come back to their senses.

It's true, no matter how well said, Xu County has an advantage, this place is not their territory now.

"So, as I thought before, it's time for our army to move!"

Following Cao Chun's words, Xi Yu explained casually.

After saying this, everyone in the entire hall understood instantly.

All Xi Yu said was that he was ready to march into Yuzhou.

"In this case, our army should take Yingchuan!"

Cao Cao then spoke, his tone loud and powerful, and his finger landed directly on the Yingchuan location where the regional map was located.

After saying this, Cao Cao couldn't help but smile.

Last time, Sun Ce appeared, and he was holding his breath in his heart. This time, the army was pointing at Yuzhou.

If Sun Ce didn't recognize images, he would have to teach Sun Wentai a lesson!

…

In early September, Cao Jun commanded his troops to march southwest, aiming at Yuzhou.

at the same time.

Xinfeng is located.

After the emperor returned from the east and set out, he arrived in Xinfeng in mid-August and temporarily stayed in camp to rest.

It's night, inside Guo Si's camp.

"General, this time we escort the emperor back to Luoyang, it will not be of much benefit to the general!"

Guo Si's advisers gave advice.

After hearing this, Guo Bang subconsciously turned around and asked, "What's the explanation?"

"General, now that the emperor returns eastward, your majesty still needs to rely on the general, but if the emperor returns eastward, your majesty will no longer need to rely on the general!"

"Where will the general be then?"

Hearing this, Guo Bang's expression changed, and he immediately asked the counselor: "In this case, what should we do?"

"General, this stagnation of Xinfeng is a good opportunity for the general!"

"If the general can welcome the emperor in Yi County, then why should he care about Li Jue, Zhang Ji and others!"

…

Inside the tent, Guo Bin was enlightened by the counselor's words.

In just a moment, Guo Bang's heart became clear.

However, Guo Si was planning how to welcome the emperor into Xi County, but the soldiers outside the tent quietly left after hearing the news.

The next day, news spread like wildfire that Guo Si wanted to coerce the emperor into Xi County.

Li Jue, Zhang Ji and others were shocked and quickly wanted to ask Guo Si for questions.

The two armies surrounded Guo Si!

Under such circumstances, Guo Si already knew that his plan was leaked, so he had no choice but to abandon his army and flee for the time being!

The emperor was once again completely controlled by Li Jue!

After some discussion, Liu Xie wanted to continue his return eastward.

Later, Yang Feng, Dong Cheng and others escorted them eastward.

However, although Guo Si abandoned his army and left, his army did not withdraw.

It's the day!

Wu Xi, a general under Guo Bang, burned down the emperor's residence at night, intending to kidnap the emperor.

That night, the fire was shining everywhere. Liu Xie was caught in the fire, physically and mentally shocked.

When the bodyguard Liu Xie fled, the sound of killing cries could be heard all around.

Liu Xie was simply not harmed.

The sound of killing echoed throughout the night.

When it was daylight the next day, the strong smell of blood all around made Liu Xie feel dizzy.

Wu Xi, the general under Guo Bang who wanted to kidnap Liu Xie, had been defeated by Yang Feng and others. Wu Xi, the leader, was beheaded by the formation.

This night made Liu Xie's heart tremble, and he could not sleep for several nights.

Everyone once again escorted Liu Xiejie to the east.

Enter Huayin and rest again.

However, the previous turmoil was like a igniting fuse.

The various armies that were originally gathered had friction with each other within a short period of time.

Later general Yang Ding had a long-standing grudge against Ningji general Duan Xuan, so he teamed up with Yang Feng, Dong Cheng and others to attack Duan Xuan.

After that, the second army held a stalemate with Huayin for more than ten days.

The return journey eastward was blocked.

Liu Xie's whole mind began to become a little tired.

Ever since he decided to return to the east, the fighting around him has never stopped.

Just after Guo Si's problem was solved, new conflicts arose between the soldiers in front of them.

The armies faced each other and attacked, and each suffered damage.

The stalemate persisted for ten days, and the return east seemed to be far away.

In desperation, Liu Xie could only send envoys to the two camps again to persuade the two sides to stop fighting and make peace again!

With the advice of the ministers and monks, the two sides finally stopped fighting.

Liu Xie was able to return east again and set off!

However, Guo Si's previous attempt to rob the Emperor made Li Jue, Zhang Ji and others aware of the importance of the Emperor.

Li Jue, who had allowed Liu Xie to return to the East, felt regret after a few days. At that time, Guo Si happened to have withdrawn his army.

The two of them seemed to be in unison, and together with Zhang Ji, they started chasing towards Liu Xie's location.

In December, Li Jue and others caught up with Liu Xie in Hongnong and were surrounded by three armies.

Yang Feng, Dong Cheng and other troops who guarded Liu Xie were severely defeated by Li Jue and others at the location of Dongjian.

In this battle, countless officers and soldiers died.

"Damn Li Jue and Guo Si!"

"These two people are so ambitious that they allowed His Majesty to return eastward, and now they deliberately go back on their word. What should we do now?"

Yang Feng was a little helpless. Li Jue and others were surrounded by an army. They could not hold out for long now.

If they continue to fight, sooner or later they will be completely destroyed by Li Jue and others.

"Instead of pretending to negotiate peace, this place is not far from Hedong. We can secretly send people to Hedong and summon the Baibo commander Li Le, Han Xian and others. In this way, the dilemma can be solved!"

Dong Cheng said in a deep voice, now that there was no way to confront Li Jue and others, there was only one way to negotiate peace.

But if peace is negotiated, Li Jue and others may not allow His Majesty to return eastward.

This time, the only option is to attract external forces.

On that day, Yang Feng and Dong Cheng pretended to make peace with Li Jue and others, but the latter did not notice.

A large army temporarily stopped at Hongnong.

After regaining control of Liu Xie, Li Jue and Guo Bang, who had originally joined forces, together with Zhang Ji and others, began to argue over the whereabouts of the emperor.

Three parties compete for the emperor.

However, the envoys from Yang Feng and others had already arrived in Hedong.

After hearing the emperor's edict, a few days later, Baibo Commander Li Le from Hedong and others came with their troops.

Yang Feng and others immediately fell out with Li Jue and others.

The two armies began to attack from front to back, and Li Jue and others were defeated in a hurry.

In this battle, thousands of people were beheaded.

After repeated setbacks, Liu Xie resumed his eastward march.

However, the defeated Li Jue and others quickly organized their army, and the next day, they once again pursued Yang Feng and others.

The three armies were reasonable, even with the help of Li Le and others, but it was difficult to resist Li Jue, Guo Si and others. In this battle, Yang Feng and others were defeated.

At the end of December, Yang Feng and others supported Liu Xie and retreated to Shaanxi County, where they formed a camp and stood firm.

At this moment, there were less than a hundred guards around Liu Xie.

"Hahaha!"

"Me, me!"

Returning east to Luoyang, stopping and turning all the way!

Seeing that the army that originally protected him had now withered to less than a hundred people, Liu Xie felt helpless for a while.

He is a majestic emperor, but now he is being chased like a dog.

Even though he just wanted to return east to Luoyang, he was still restrained from returning.

He wanted to kill Li Jue, Guo Si and others.

But Liu Xie knew that he couldn't do it now.

At that time, he was like a fish on the chopping board, and could only be slaughtered by others!
