We agreed that you, a weak strategist, would fight against three heroes by yourself?
Chapter 197 Cao Cao, this Xuchang seems to be missing something
Just after Mao Shi, when the sky was completely bright, the entire Xiapi City gradually came back to life.
The sudden martial law in the city last night not only made the defenders of Xiapi City nervous.
Together with the entire Xiapi City.
From the aristocratic family to the common people, everyone is uneasy.
Fortunately, we found out later that the martial law last night was not caused by the incoming army from outside the city, but by the army returning from victory.
After the news spread, the people who were originally worried felt more or less at ease.
For the people of this era, war means that their daily lives can no longer be stable.
People in the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty often migrated from one area to another.
On the one hand, it is because of the war.
On the other hand, it is a natural disaster.
Xuzhou has only been stable for a few years now.
The war has started again. For the people of Xuzhou, what they are looking forward to is when Xuzhou can settle down again.
"Have you heard that the army that won last night was the army under Mr. Xi?"
“Xuzhou’s stable days are not far away!”
Some well-informed people immediately told the neighbors about what happened last night.
And for the people of Xuzhou today.
The influence of Xi Yu's name has now spread to the Han Dynasty, not only among the princes, aristocratic families, but also among the common people, Xi Yu's reputation has been widely spread.
And all of this is because of the series of things that Xiyu created to benefit the people.
For the people of Xiapi City, who wins is not too important.
However, after learning that Xi Yu's army had won, some people couldn't help but shout loudly.
Soon after, the entire Xiapi City became as festive as a festival.
Except the people in Xiapi City were happy.
The same goes for most of the merchants and vendors in Xiapi City.
For these people, what they rely on most is a time of peace.
The victory of Xi Yu's men seemed to mean that the day when Xuzhou as a whole would settle down was not far away.
The officials in Xuzhou, where Xiapi was at that time, finally understood what Xi Fengyi meant yesterday when he said he had a plan.
Just one night attack wiped out Ji Ling's army in one fell swoop.
Now the only trouble left in Xuzhou is Lu Bu.
At that time, Xi Yu had not yet arrived in the government office.
But at this time, no one cared about when the other party arrived.
Now Ji Ling is the leader.
The other party's body has been brought back by Zhao Yun and others, and it is now placed in the courtyard outside the main hall of the government office.
When everyone came over from each other, they could see clearly.
Ji Ling was destroyed, and Yuan Shujun no longer threatened Xuzhou in a short period of time.
The remaining Lu Bu is not difficult to deal with.
Nowadays, in the entire government office, people from various factions are confused.
Some people are wondering whether they should take advantage of this opportunity to join forces with Xiyu.
"Zilong, I didn't expect that you could get lost yesterday!"
At this time, in the Xiapi Yamen Office, Dian Wei laughed a lot at the incident yesterday when Zhao Yun led people back and wanted to go through the east gate, but ended up walking to the south gate.
Zhao Yun beside him was also a little helpless. He couldn't be blamed for this matter.
Who allowed the moonlight above the sky to be covered at that time? Without the moonlight, the road at that time was almost invisible.
Being able to successfully walk to the foot of Xiapi City is already considered a very good thing.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly and nothing went wrong.
"I think if Lao Huang hadn't reacted quickly and ran from the east gate to the south gate to pick us up, who knows if we would have been able to enter the city at that time!"
Dian Wei muttered quietly to the side.
In his opinion, if Huang Zhong had not run from the east gate to the south gate at that time.
If they want to enter the city, they may have some trouble.
After all, when we were at the bottom of the city, bows and arrows were shot down from above.
Fortunately, it was far away and it was dark, so the bows and arrows above had no accuracy.
Otherwise, who will be able to bear the cold arrows from his own family members after winning the battle?
What's more, the person on the south gate is still Xia Houyuan.
If the other party insists that they are enemy troops outside the city, who knows what will happen then!
Zhao Yun looked a little embarrassed. It was indeed inappropriate to take the wrong path.
Moreover, if you think about it carefully, the situation at that time may be as Dian Wei said. Whether Xia Houyuan will let them enter the city is still the same thing!
Fortunately nothing happened.
Zhao Yun shook his head and didn't think much about it. His husband hadn't arrived yet, so it wasn't important at the moment.
…
With Ji Ling taking the lead, things in Xuzhou have stabilized for the time being. Although the remaining Lu Bu was a bit threatening, there was no movement in a short period of time for unknown reasons.
What Lu Bu did was like taking a piece of land in Xuzhou and transforming it into self-governance.
And at the same time.
Before the beginning of winter, the westward marching army led by Cao Cao finally arrived in Xuchang.
The first time after returning to Xuchang, Cao Cao went to the palace to meet Liu Xie as usual.
Nothing much was said between the two, but Cao Cao still saw some subtle emotions on Liu Xie's face.
He didn't even ask.
Because he had been recuperating on the way back, Cao Cao did not know what happened in Xuchang at the first time.
Xun Yu didn't know the reason and did not notify Cao Cao immediately.
But after returning this time, he soon knew the reason for everything.
At that time, Xuchang City was still the same as before.
Life is full of excitement, and travelers are unaware of it.
On the tall buildings in the city, unknown scholars were talking loudly, and there were people reading this newspaper on the street.
However, after experiencing the chaos in the palace, walking in the current Xuchang City, Cao Cao somehow always felt that something was wrong in some aspects.
It's like something is missing!
"I never thought that so many things would happen in Xuchang City during this westward march!"
After returning to Xuchang, Xun Yu also informed Cao Cao of what had happened in Xuchang.
It was learned that Yang Biao, Dong Cheng and others also wanted to take the opportunity to take the emperor away from Xuchang.
Cao Cao had some thoughts.
Unexpectedly, when he left Xuchang, Yang Biao and others would choose to take such a dangerous step.
Fortunately, the matter of Yang Biao and others did not succeed, and the emperor is now safe.
For Cao Cao, the existence of the Emperor is still extremely important at this stage, and all the princes in the world have not yet been wiped out.
Yuan Shao in the north is still eyeing him, and Liu Biao and Yuan Shu in the south are also a little uneasy.
And he needs a nominal banner.
"Fengyi went to Xuzhou?"
Cao Cao took a deep breath and asked Xun Yu beside him. The latter couldn't help but roll his eyes at him when he heard this.
Didn't you ask for this?
"It's been four or five days of work!"
Xun Yu responded, and Cao Cao beside him raised his head and looked at the surrounding sky.
Xuchang remains the same.
"I never thought that the accident in Xuchang was thanks to Fengyi!"
Cao Cao smiled.
At this time, his mood could not be said to be good or bad. Regarding Xi Yu, his mood was somewhat complicated.
It should be a happy thing for the other party to accept his request and go to Xuzhou.
In addition, Xi Yu helped him stabilize the chaos in Xuchang.
No matter what, he felt a little lucky in his heart.
However, for some reason, Cao Cao felt faintly disappointed at this moment.
"Sikong, if this incident in Xuzhou had not been for Xu Chu and his people to kneel down and beg Fengyi, I don't think Fengyi would have planned to go to Xuzhou!"
Xun Yu thought for a while and blurted out.
He hopes that the two of them can work together to calm down this troubled world and help the great man.
However, Xi Yu left Xuchang this time, taking his family with him.
Xun Yu felt something in his heart and had already noticed the changes in Xi Yu.
This time the other party left Xuchang, it will probably be even more difficult for him to come back!
Hearing Xun Yu say this, Cao Cao was a little startled.
Did Fengyi originally not plan to go to Xuzhou?
If Xu Chu hadn't knelt down to invite him, wouldn't he have planned to go?
Thinking like this, for some reason, Cao Cao suddenly felt better.
If Xi Yu went to Xuzhou this time because of his own intention, or even agreed directly when he asked him to do so.
So for Cao Cao, he probably felt that there was a slight rift between Xi Yu and himself.
But, if Xu Chu kneels down and asks.
So the situation is somewhat different.
Thinking about it this way, Xi Yu left Xuchang for Xuzhou not far away. The reason must be because of himself!
Thinking like this, Cao Cao couldn't help but feel better.
After his mood became more relaxed, Cao Cao turned around and patted Xun Yu on the shoulder.
"How are Yang Biao, Dong Cheng and others doing now!?"
After asking Xun Yu, after putting aside the matter about Xi Yu in his mind, Cao Cao's first thought was to deal with the previous affairs of Xuchang.
After hearing Cao Cao's question, Xun Yu did not hesitate and immediately spoke.
"His Majesty thinks that the two of them have performed meritorious deeds before. Although this time is a bit dangerous, there is nothing wrong with it. Therefore, the two of them are prohibited from entering the house."
It is said that it is forbidden to move or imprisoned, but in fact it is just a means of protection for Liu Xie in disguise.
This was not only clear to Xun Yu, but also to Cao Cao.
It was learned that Yang Biao was living in the mansion.
Cao Cao thought for a moment and then glanced at Xun Yu: "In that case, I would like to go see Yang Biao!"
Not as a winner, but when Cao Cao came back he learned that Yang Xiu had committed suicide because of this incident.
Cao Cao was somewhat surprised when he heard the news that Yang Xiu committed suicide.
Cao Cao was quite optimistic about Yang Xiu before, but he never thought that Yang Xiu would be so helpless.
I was just giving the other party a test. I never thought that Yang Xiu would make such a choice.
However, the dead person, no matter how valuable he is, is no longer the same to today.
Thinking of going to Yang Biao's house to take a look, Cao Cao did not hesitate at all.
Immediately after, he took Xun Yu and several personal guards and went straight to the Yang Mansion.
When they arrived at Yang Biao's house, the door of the Yang family was closed.
The guard standing in front of the mansion saw that Cao Cao was coming and saluted quickly. Cao Cao waved his hand.
"Is Yang Biao still well now?"
For Yang Biao, aside from other aspects, he still respects Yang Biao quite a bit in terms of personal emotions.
After all, the Yang family is still the fourth generation and the third prince.
Previously, Cao Cao was wary of the Yang family because of his identity.
But now, what happened in Xuchang has happened, and there is no possibility of Yang Biao and others causing trouble again!
Then the rest of the things will be different.
After entering Yang Mansion.
When he learned that Cao Cao was coming, Yang Biao did not take the initiative to greet him, but sat quietly in the courtyard.
After Cao Cao was led into the courtyard, he immediately saw Yang Biao sitting quietly in the pavilion.
With just one glance, Cao Cao's expression couldn't help but change.
"Mr. Yang, what's going on?"
"Why are you so thin after not seeing me for a few days?"
Within the field of vision, Yang Biao in front of him was obviously thinner than before.
If Cao Cao hadn't seen that face so clearly, he almost wouldn't have recognized that the other person was Yang Biao.
At this moment, Yang Biao's hair and beard were all white, his hair was messy and scattered around his body, and his figure was haggard.
That way, he looked like a person who was about to die.
Before Cao Cao went westward, in his impression, Yang Biao was still as strong as ever.
I never thought that in just a few days, things would change so much.
"Thank you Mr. Cao for your concern!"
"I'm just old this time, so I just looked away!"
Yang Xiu's death was a bit of a blow to Yang Biao's heart.
What is different from the original trajectory is that Yang Xiu's death this time was not due to Cao Cao.
The reason why Yang Xiu committed suicide was entirely because of Yang Biao.
If he didn't mean it, how could Yang Xiu take the initiative to plan to rob the emperor when he left the city.
If this had not happened, how could Yang Xiu have died?
Now, Yang Xiu is dead and he is banned from the house.
And if the entire Yang family wanted to continue to survive, there was nothing he could do now.
Although they lost this time, they could at least save the Yang family.
This is what happened when Yang Xiu committed suicide.
If he continues, I'm afraid the entire Yang family will be destroyed.
Facing Cao Cao's arrival, Yang Biao was still polite after all.
Seeing Yang Biao like this, Cao Cao understood.
The other party accepted his fate.
In this case, he no longer had the worries of these Han Dynasty veterans.
After casually comforting Yang Biao for a few words, he told the other party that the previous matter was over.
Cao Cao didn't say anything more and left Yang Mansion with Xun Yu.
At this time, after the two came out of the Yang family, Cao Cao felt quite sad.
In the past, Yang Biao was the fourth generation and the third prince, and the Yang family was one of the most prosperous families in the entire Han Dynasty.
But now, times have changed.
Everything has changed.
He and Xun Yu walked back together. At this moment, Xun Yu seemed to suddenly think of something.
"Sikong, I just remembered that before Fengyi left Xuchang, he seemed to have visited the old lady in the Cao Mansion, and he seemed to have left a letter for you!"
Xun Yu reminded him.
Upon hearing this, Cao Cao's interest instantly rose.
Unexpectedly, before Xi Yu left, he would leave a letter for himself.
I don’t know what was said in it.
Cao Cao was quite curious and wished he could rush to the house immediately.
However, at this moment, Xun Yu paused and continued to speak.
"There was chaos in Xuchang City that day!"
"It's all thanks to Fengyi that he didn't leave for long. If Fengyi hadn't rushed back in time, Yang Xiu and others would have taken His Majesty out of Xuchang!"
Xun Yu suddenly spoke like this.
Cao Cao couldn't help but frowned.
What?
He only knew that what happened in Xuchang that day was where Xi Yu was, so that he could remain as stable as ever.
I never thought that Xi Yu had already led his army to Xuzhou at that time. It was because he knew such things that he turned back at the last moment.
How can it be?
Logically speaking, although Yang Biao and others took the emperor hostage and left the city, it was so easy to leave Xuchang City.
Although he brought Cao Ren and others to the west, there are many people from the Cao family who hold important positions in Xuchang City.
If these people gather together, not to mention taking down Yang Biao and others, at least it will not be that simple for the other party to leave the city.
But now, listen to Xun Yu say this.
It was obvious that the Cao family clan members did not seem to have contributed much to the turmoil in Xuchang.
Like it's none of your business?
It was impossible for Xun Yu to speak like this for no reason, and to have the other party remind him like this now.
Cao Cao then knew that those people from the Cao clan had gone too far.
It is precisely because of this that even people like Xun Yu have to stand up and say such things.
"Wen Ruo, I know this!"
"I just returned from this trip. I have already remembered this matter in my heart. The most urgent task now is to deal with Xuzhou and Yuan Shu."
"I'll go back to my hometown first, and then I'll discuss matters at the government office tomorrow!"
After saying something to Xun Yu, Cao Cao turned around and headed straight for Sikong Mansion.
Xun Yu didn't say much, but stopped and glanced at the other party's figure who was hurriedly leaving.
Ever since he mentioned that Xi Yu had left a letter for him, Cao Cao had been eager to return to his house.
After talking about the reaction of the Cao family during the turmoil in Xuchang, the eagerness on Cao Cao's face seemed to become more anxious.
Xun Yu saw this situation clearly.
He deliberately said this in front of Cao Cao this time, just to inform him.
There are some things that Xiyu has done much more than those of you, the Cao family clan.
He was reminding Cao Cao in disguise of the importance of Xiyu to them.
Cao Cao naturally understood this.
Because of this, after hearing Xun Yu's words, he was eager to rush back to Cao Mansion as soon as possible.
Not long after.
When Cao Cao arrived at the door of his mansion, he saw a large group of people waiting at the door.
Cao Ren, Cao Chun, Cao Hong, and many people from the Cao clan.
Except for Cao Ren and Cao Hong.
Most of the remaining people are from the clans that originally stayed in Xuchang City.
Thinking of what Xun Yu had just told him, Cao Cao suddenly felt a surge of anger in his heart.
"What are you gathering here for?"
