We agreed that you, a weak strategist, would fight against three heroes by yourself?
Chapter 119 If the two Yuans come together, there will be no competitor in the world
"Your Majesty, for the present plan, we are returning to Luoyang. I am afraid that we will not be able to sustain food and grass. I think it is better for your Majesty to move to Luyang first!"
It has been several days since the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Yang Biao and others once again proposed returning to Luoyang. At this time, Cao Cao did not hesitate at all and directly spoke out.
The words directly pointed to the current problem of poor people's livelihood in Luoyang and difficulty in food and grass.
Cao Cao did not directly persuade Liu Xie to move the capital. What he said was to advise Liu Xie to move to Luyang for the time being.
As soon as these words were spoken, Dong Cheng, Yang Biao and others all frowned slightly.
Although something feels wrong in my heart, the problem Cao Cao is referring to at this moment is actually fundamental!
Nowadays, the old capital of Luoyang has not been rebuilt, so it is a good choice to move it temporarily.
Yang Biao and others did not speak.
Liu Xie, who was in the first place, subconsciously looked at Xi Yu, but the latter didn't pay attention to Liu Xie's eyes.
"Just follow Cao Qing's instructions!"
At the end of August, Liu Xie followed Cao Cao to Luyang, and Cao Cao deliberately gave up his residence to Liu Xie to live there.
In early September, the Emperor issued an order to confer Cao Cao the title of General and the title of Marquis of Wuping.
In the same month, because Xi Yu repeatedly declined the title of Lord Wu, the emperor promoted Xi Yu to the rank of Grand Secretary of Agriculture!
After the emperor moved to Luyang, Taiwei Yang Biao and others began to advise and urge Cao Cao to take charge of building the old capital of Luoyang.
However, as the emperor moved to Luyang at this moment, Cao Cao began to ignore such suggestions.
Luyang, Dong Cheng’s temporary residence.
Taiwei Yang Biao sat opposite Dong Cheng.
"Lieutenant Yang, Cao Mengde is very ambitious. Now that he is persuading your majesty to move to Luyang, he may be disobedient. We will take precautions as soon as possible and persuade your majesty to return to Luoyang as soon as possible."
After arriving in Luyang, Cao Cao no longer paid attention to Dong Cheng, Yang Biao and others.
At that time, Dong Cheng naturally realized that Cao Cao might not do what they wanted.
"late!"
Yang Biao sighed, now that the emperor has moved to Luyang, whether to return to Luoyang is no longer under their control.
Cao Cao respected the emperor very much and never acted arrogantly during this trip.
Thinking about it this time, even the emperor would probably not allow the two of them to return to Luoyang.
Now, the emperor has even made Cao Cao a general, and his power is no less than that of him, and even above him.
Yang Biao was already powerless.
…
Within the temporary shelter.
Cao Cao met Liu Xie again.
"Your Majesty, Yang Feng and others rebelled previously, and this time I want to follow your Majesty's orders and attack Yang Feng. What do you think, your Majesty?"
Cao Cao made a remonstrance and was quite angry at Yang Feng's previous rebellion.
Liu Xie subconsciously glanced at Xi Yu beside him, who smiled and nodded.
"I second the proposal!"
"The general's move shows the prestige of the imperial court!"
Hearing what Xi Yu said and thinking about what Yang Fengzhi had done before, Liu Xie nodded in approval.
"According to what the general said!"
"Your Majesty, Luyang is not a place where we have lived for a long time. The old and present capital of Luoyang is no longer a place where we can live. I have ordered my subordinates to supervise the construction of a new capital. What do you think, Your Majesty?"
After hearing Liu Xie's promise to attack Yang Feng, Cao Cao expressed his intention to move the capital.
I heard about moving the capital.
Liu Xie couldn't help but frown.
The emperor's move to the capital was no small matter.
What's more, Liu Xie had already moved to the imperial capital once under Dong Zhuo's coercion.
Now I heard Cao Cao's advice to move the capital.
How could Liu Xie not be serious?
Is it difficult for Cao Cao to think like Dong Zhuo?
At this time, Liu Xie was a little wary, and his eyes were fixed on Cao Cao, as if he wanted to see something wrong on his face.
However, at this moment, Cao Cao's expression was as usual, with a sincere expression, as if he was really thinking about him.
"Where do you want to move to?"
If it were Yanzhou Juancheng, Liu Xie would not agree to anything.
However, Cao Cao's response slightly surprised Liu Xie.
"Your Majesty, I would like to ask your Majesty to move the capital to Xu County!"
"This place is quite close to the old capital Luoyang. When the mountains and rivers are reorganized in the future, Your Majesty can also return to Luoyang."
"Secondly, this place is surrounded by mountains on three sides. Your Majesty established the imperial capital here. You can overlook the rivers and mountains of the Han Dynasty."
"Thirdly, Xu County has convenient transportation. It borders the Yellow River to the north, Huanghuai to the east, Jiangxia to the south, and Nanyang to the southwest."
"This is the land of Wang Xing!"
Cao Cao gave examples one after another, and Liu Xie couldn't help but look hard.
Just listening to it like this, the Xu County that Cao Cao said was actually a very good place.
However, Liu Xie was still a little wary when he thought of moving the capital.
"What you said is true, but the matter of moving the capital is a top priority. I think this matter should be discussed among all officials!"
Liu Xie did not refuse, but he also did not agree outright.
Right now, there are only Cao Cao and Xi Yu around. As for whether to move the capital or not, is there any benefit in moving the capital?
He felt that this kind of matter still needed to be asked and discussed.
After hearing what Liu Xie said, Cao Cao was not in a hurry. He was just moving the capital this time. It would take some time for Xu County to establish a new capital.
…
In mid-September, Cao Cao followed the emperor's order and led an army to attack Yang Feng. In the middle of the month, Cao Cao defeated Yang Feng in a battle.
Three days later, Cao Cao captured Liang County and other places.
At the end of September, Cao Cao led his troops back to Luyang.
With the power of victory, Cao Cao discussed moving the capital again.
Taiwei Yang Biao and Chariot General Dong Chengjin both felt that Cao Cao was in trouble.
However, this time it was restricted by Cao Cao, and even the emperor Liu Xie felt that the move of moving the capital mentioned by Cao Cao was not a big problem.
October is approaching.
The temporary palace in Xu County has been built, and the emperor immediately moved to Xu County, declared the world in October, and moved the capital to Xu County!
…
In early October, as the emperor moved the capital to Xu County, the administrative center that originally belonged to Juancheng, Yanzhou began to move to Xu County.
As a result, Xi Yu began to settle in a new house in Xu County.
This time they settled into their new house, and Xun Yu and others all came to the house.
"I never thought that there would be such a coincidence in the world!"
Xun Yu originally thought that the emperor was missing, but he never thought that when he turned around, the emperor would appear in front of Xi Yu and the others.
This result is really surprising.
"After learning about your majesty's affairs, I even thought that Feng Yi had anticipated it!"
Seeing this play, Xun Yu couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
If he hadn't known that this was really a coincidence, he would have thought that the man in front of him was a monster.
Xi Zhicai on the side also smiled after hearing this.
No one could have imagined that this would be such a coincidence.
The emperor even pretended to be a distant relative of his family.
And now almost everyone in Cao Camp knows about this matter.
People who don't know much about it really think that there is some kind of kinship between the actor and the emperor!
But those who understand will eventually understand.
This matter is nothing more than the emperor doing as he pleases!
If the emperor takes it seriously, then it is true; if the emperor takes it as a joke, then it is just a joke!
For this matter, the focus is on the emperor.
Whether it was Xi Zhicai or Xi Yu, in the end they didn't care too much about this kind of thing.
Even for Xi Yu, having a relationship with Liu Xie was not a good thing.
"Now that His Majesty has moved the capital to Xu County, this matter is finally as we expected!"
Xun Yu chuckled.
What he cares about is that the emperor is finally in front of them, and with the emperor's name, they have already occupied the great justice of the world.
After that, there are more choices to make.
Cao Cao on the other side also felt a little emotional.
It had only been a month, but just before the Emperor was approaching, he had transformed from his original position as Sili Xiaowei to become the general of the Han Dynasty!
This is a great general!
Even Wei Qing back then was nothing more than this.
With the position of general, he is already the most powerful person in the Han Dynasty today.
From Sili Xiaowei to General, the gap between them is not that big!
In just a few months, he reached a position that was once difficult to reach.
At this time, Cao Cao had to feel that Li Jue, Guo Si, Yang Feng and others valued the emperor so much!
Really, this power is so great!
…
Jizhou, Yecheng!
After word spread to Yecheng that the emperor had moved the capital to Xu County, Yuan Shao felt a little bad.
Now he owns three states, and it won't be long before he can annex the entire Bingzhou state.
By then, half of the Han Dynasty will be under his control.
And just because of Cao Cao's behavior of flattering the emperor, he suddenly turned into a great general, which really made Yuan Shao angry.
In the main hall of the government office.
After Yuan Shao read the reward that Cao Cao recommended to the court for him, he held it tightly with his fingers.
"Damn Cao Ahao!"
"Damn it, damn it!"
"With the order, send the army to Yanzhou for me!"
Yuan Shao was trembling with anger. He regretted not listening to Ju Shou's advice, if he had welcomed the emperor to Yecheng.
Now he is the one who controls the emperor!
The great general of the Han Dynasty is naturally Yuan Shao. What's wrong with Cao Cao!
Now Cao Ah Man took the opportunity to recommend himself to the emperor.
It was really as if he was mocking him.
What Sikong!
Why should Cao Cao stand on his head?
Jushu next to him was a little helpless. Now that the matter was a foregone conclusion, what was the use of Yuan Shao regretting it!
When Yuan Shao didn't listen to his opinion, he knew that Yuan Shao would regret it sooner or later. Now, it has come true.
"My lord, I want to send troops to Yanzhou, what do you think?"
After Yuan Shao regretted it, the first thing he thought of was Ju Shou, who had advised him before.
Now that he knew that his original choice was wrong, Yuan Shao couldn't help but want to hear Ju Shou's opinion.
As for Guo Tu and others, he just glared.
Jushou was a little helpless.
Although Yuan Shao now occupies the land of three states, Cao Cao's power in Yanzhou cannot be underestimated.
Cao Cao now holds Yanzhou and Xuzhou, and is eyeing Sili and Jingyu to the south. He has the potential to become bigger.
Furthermore, his subordinates are as fierce as clouds, and his advisers are like rain.
If we were to send troops to Yanzhou now and want to defeat Cao Ying in one fell swoop, it wouldn't be that simple.
"My lord, I think this is not an opportunity to march into Yanzhou. If your lord really intends to send troops to Yanzhou, he may make an appointment with Yuan Shu of Huainan and send troops together!"
From Jushou's point of view, it is definitely possible to fight.
But if you really want to fight, it is naturally easier to fight with a helper.
If Yuan Shao is willing to join forces with Yuan Shu, and the two of them attack Cao Cao from the north and the south together, they will naturally cause damage to Cao Cao's military strength.
It may be difficult to defeat Cao Cao in one fell swoop, but if it happens a few more times, Cao Cao will definitely not be able to bear it.
I heard Jushou say this.
Yuan Shao couldn't help but frown.
Join Yuan Shu?
When that kid was in the Yuan family, he and he were tit for tat. Although the two were brothers, they still had a competitive relationship with each other.
If he hadn't adopted someone in his early years, he might not even be qualified to inherit the Yuan family's business now.
If the two unite, who will take the lead?
The current situation is different from when the princes united to attack Dong Zhuo.
He, Yuan Shao, now controls the Three Continents, and Yuan Shu occupies Huainan, which is not bad.
If the two of them could really unite, they wouldn't wait until now.
However, this was Jushou's suggestion after all.
Yuan Shao felt that something was wrong with him because of his flattery with the emperor, so he thought it would be better to listen to Ju Shou's advice.
Not long after, Yuan Shao sent an envoy to Huainan to communicate with Yuan Shu.
at the same time.
Within Juancheng, Yanzhou.
Since the political center of Cao Ying was moved to Xu County, Liu Bei seemed to have been ignored.
Liu Bei was left in Juancheng, as if he was imprisoned.
At this moment, in the small courtyard where Liu Bei lives.
Zhang Fei held the wine cup with a look of disdain on his face.
"Brother, why should Cao Cao be the general? In my opinion, Your Majesty and Brother are a family!"
"This position of general should be held by my eldest brother!"
"I don't know what the emperor thinks!"
Zhang Fei was a little aggrieved, but Guan Yu who was standing next to him agreed quite a bit.
However, now the three of them seem to be ignored.
Hearing Zhang Fei's complaint, Liu Bei just shook his head.
"Third brother, don't talk nonsense. General Cao welcomes the emperor. He has made great contributions to the country and the country. It is okay for your majesty to reward you!"
"With no merit for being a brother, how dare you accept the emperor's reward?"
Although he said this, Liu Bei felt a little sour in his heart.
During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Cao Cao was only a young general leading the army. He also recruited his own soldiers.
The gap between the two is not that big.
After that, Cao Cao served as the prefect of Dongjun and he served as the captain of Anxi County.
Cao Cao entered Yanzhou and he entered Xuzhou.
He seems to have never been able to move as fast as the other person, and now he is even more dependent on someone else.
Like a bird in a cage, a fish in a pond.
The body has been restricted and fettered, and it is already extremely difficult to break free!
Now in Juancheng, although he is ignored, Cao Jun's eyes and ears are all around him.
"A true man, when you bow down and wait for God, don't fight with your life!"
Liu Bei shook his head, and Zhang Fei beside him couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, and took another sip of wine into his mouth.
…
at the same time.
Within the Xu County Government Office.
After Yuan Shao refused the position of Sikong, Cao Cao realized that something was wrong. When he heard that Yuan Shao wanted to send troops to Yanzhou, Cao Cao already regretted it.
Hit him, he definitely won't be afraid!
However, if he competes with Yuan Shao at this time, it will definitely not be over in a short time.
What's more, the strategy agreed upon by Cao Ying was to march westward to Sili and control the Guanzhong area, and then it was Yuan Shao's business.
Now is not the time!
"Lord, for this plan, we must not compete with Yuan Shao!"
Xun Yu shook his head at the side: "Furthermore, Yuan Shu of Huainan has been coveting us, and this time Sun Ce is on his side, so my lord must be on guard!"
"If we turn against Yuan Shao, our army will be in danger of being attacked from three sides!"
Xun Yu's words pointed directly at the current situation.
Xi Yu beside him also nodded, but then he smiled at Cao Cao.
"My lord, although Yuan Shao is responsible for the current predicament, the crisis this time lies not with Yuan Shao, but with Yuan Shu!"
"If the two Yuans come together, it will be difficult for anyone in the world to compete with them. Even our army will not be able to stand on its own!"
"Of course, the two Yuan can't get along! Yuan Shu is a proud and arrogant person, so he may not be willing to get along with Yuan Shao.
What's more, with Yuan Shao's current status, if the two Yuans are combined, Yuan Shao will inevitably be the dominant one. Due to Yuan Shu's nature, it is difficult to succumb to him. "
After all, it is somewhat difficult for two people to get together.
After all, although Yuan Shu is not as powerful as Yuan Shao now, Yuan Shu is actually not much different.
Since he was not at the end of his rope, he would naturally not give up his intention to compete with Yuan Shao.
Furthermore, although Yuan Shao was a brother in name only in his eyes, Yuan Shu finally regarded him as a bastard!
Originally, the other party was not qualified to compete with him for the Yuan family.
If Yuan Shao hadn't passed it on to someone else, he would have been the sole leader of the Yuan family.
This is the situation now!
Unless Yuan Shao is willing to make friends with his brothers in a low voice, it will be difficult for Yuan Shu to cooperate with Yuan Shao.
However, there is no telling what has not happened.
After all, Yuan Shu also intends to attack Xuzhou. With common interests, it is possible for the two Yuan to unite!
Cao Cao has now captured Xuzhou, and history has already gone awry here.
What will happen next, Xi Yu can't be sure.
However, the focus of the current dilemma still lies with Yuan Shu.
"Is there any movement from Yuan Shu?"
After Xi Yu finished speaking, Cao Cao's expression changed slightly and he quickly asked to the side.
…
Huainan, Shouchang.
"oh!"
"That bastard Yuan Shao wants to invite me to attack Cao Cao together?"
After learning about Yuan Shao's intention to send an envoy, Yuan Shu's attitude was extremely contemptuous.
He originally had the idea of attacking Xuzhou, but if Yuan Shao intended to attack Cao Cao's Yanzhou, he would not be in a hurry.
Wouldn't it be nice to let those two guys fight and reap the benefits yourself?
"Lord, this is a great opportunity!"
As soon as Yuan Shu finished speaking, his counselor Yan Xiang immediately followed up with his advice.
Yan Xiang knew that his lord and Yuan Shao had some differences, but if he only looked at the interests at this moment, it would be a good opportunity to send troops.
Yuan Shao attacked Yanzhou from the north, and Yuan Shu attacked Xuzhou from the south.
The two do not interfere with each other, but if they send troops together, it will be difficult for Cao's army to take care of both ends. For Yuan Shu, the advantages of this situation outweigh the disadvantages.
Following Yan Xiang's analysis, the envoy Yuan Shao on the side also echoed.
Although Yuan Shu didn't want to agree, he found it hard to refuse in his heart.
He had been keeping an eye on Xuzhou for a long time, but he never expected that Cao Cao would capture it first.
And Cao Cao even attacked Yuzhou. This time he and Cao Cao were already incompatible.
He also heard about Cao Cao's appointment as general.
Like Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu looked down on Cao Cao.
"Go back and tell your lord that we can send troops together, but I must be the leader!"
When the envoy understood what he meant, Yuan Shu scolded the envoy and then began to summon his advisers and generals to discuss how to deal with Cao Cao.
