Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty

Qingzhou, Linzi City Council Chamber.

"If you violate me, you will be punishable even if you are far away. It is really fascinating. I want to fight with Yuqing to kill the thief!"

Cao Cao was holding a message with excitement on his face.

"Wuhuan people going south to herd horses is certainly an abomination, but this is a good opportunity for the lord!" Cheng Yu said suddenly.

"Oh?"

"The Wuhuan people went south in a big way, and they united with Yuan Benchu ​​no less than 100,000 people. No matter how Liu Yuqing commands Ruo Ding, no matter how brave the Liangzhou army is, the victory or defeat will be between five and five." Cheng Yu smiled and said: "I. The army can take the opportunity to go north, wave the flag and shout for Yuan Shao, and then stay still. After the two armies have a decisive battle, isn't the land of Hebei like trying to get something?"

Xi Zhicai also nodded, and said in the same way: "Yes, now is the time when our army is taking advantage of the fisherman. The lord must not miss it! Staying active and taking the opportunity to take it is the best policy."

"That said, you all think that someone should take the opportunity to go north and echo Yuan Benchu?" Cao Cao asked with a smile.

"That's the case." Cheng Yu added: "First, our army has an alliance with Yuan Benchu, and we can go northward to comply with the alliance. Second, when the two armies are at war, isn't it a good time for our army to expand its territory?"

Cao Cao shook his head and said with a smile: "No, instead of going north to Hebei, our army must support Liu Yuqing's crusade against the Wuhuan people."

"Support Liu Yuqing in crusade against the Wuhuan people, why is this?" Cheng Yu was taken aback and wondered: "Lord, the Han Dynasty is declining, and the heroes rise together to compete in the world. Liu Yuqing controls Guanzhong, the military power shakes Shandong, and the Warring States strong Qin faintly overlooks The power of the world, Liu Yuqing has not yet become bigger, and our army united with the princes of the world, taking advantage of its weakness, can still control it. Now if we do not send troops, when Liu Ye defeats Wuhuan, his prestige will surely shake the world. What should the lord do?"

"Hahaha!"

Cao Cao laughed when he heard Cheng Yu's words, and Cheng Yu looked confused.

Isn't what I said by Cheng Zhongde makes no sense? Why did the lord laugh, as if disapproving.

Cheng Yu was at a loss, while Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu had some insights, and seemed to understand something.

When Cao Cao finished laughing, Cheng Yu said with a calm face: "Dare to ask the lord, but Yu's poor plan will make the lord joke?"

"No, no, no, Zhong De, don't get me wrong." Cao Cao explained with a smile: "Zhong De is a celebrity, and his plan is natural and comprehensive, but something in his mind is somewhat different from Zhong De."

"Dare to ask the Lord to announce it."

Cao Cao tidied his clothes and slowly said, "Wuhuan people went south to Youzhou, harassing the people, and plundering their property, and Liu Yuqing said it with righteousness, and the people are all surrendered, then Liu Yuqing has won peace! Mencius said that time is not as good as place. The land is not as good as the people, and Liu Yuqing's military strength and hepburn will be difficult to shake. If the world and the people are attached, how can our army fight against it?"

"Therefore! Our army must support Liu Yuqing in the crusade against the Wuhuan people, and even allocate a portion of grain and grass to provide material support!" Cao Cao said solemnly: "In this way, our army can also gain popular support, and those who win popular support win the world. Is Liu Yuqing alone?"

"So..." Cheng Yu understood, and muttered: "But in this way, what if Liu Yuqing defeated the Wuhuan people and turned around to attack our army with the might of victory?"

"Hehe, you don't need to worry about this." Xi Zhicai suddenly laughed and said, "Yecheng's victory or defeat is unknown. Even if Yuan Shao loses, he can still retire to Youzhou. With Liu Ye's ability, he must be determined first. If we go to the Central Plains, our army will not be Liu Ye's first target. Moreover, the lord has already crossed the sea from Qingzhou to contact Gongsundu in Liaodong. Gongsundu will definitely not be reconciled to Liu Yuqing's full control of Hebei.

Gongsundu was actually quite ambitious. In addition to eradicating all the nobles in Liaodong, he also sent troops from Anping Port and crossed the sea to Qingzhou to capture several counties and set up the so-called "Yingzhou". On the one hand, Cao Cao was concerned about the relationship with Gongsundu, on the other hand, he was afraid of Gongsundu's navy, so he did not send troops to recover, so in fact, Qingzhou was not completely controlled by Cao Cao.

"What's more..." Cao Cao clenched his fists and said to himself: "A certain long ago, Miaocai had arranged to lead 20,000 elite troops to the plains. Once the battle of Yecheng is over, Miaocao will be ordered to occupy Jizhou counties and Liu Ye's exhausted army. , What can I do?"

Cheng Yu came to understand and said overjoyed: "It turns out that the Lord has an arrangement in his heart, but Yu Baibai was worried.

Cao Cao smiled and said: "Mr. Zhong De is also for the sake of our army's hegemony. He has done nothing. Later, a certain party will send 50 brocades to Zhongde's mansion as a reward."

Cheng Yu hurriedly bent over to thank you, and Cao Cao waved his hand to get up, a good picture of the king and the minister.

"In this way, our army needs to secretly dispatch troops to prevent Liu Yuqing from finding out." Xun Yu said.

"Well, let Wen Ruo be responsible for the allocation of grain and grass, secretly mobilizing 20,000 shi of military grain and sending it to the plain to give it to Miaocai." Cao Cao ordered: "Another five thousand shi was given to Liu Yuqing, and drafted an article in the name of XX. The cultural aid should be implemented as soon as possible in response to Liu Yuqing’s "Yuan Zhu"."

In fact, Cao Cao also has a similar national complex in his mind, which can be seen from his expedition to Wuhuan. In the original history, after Cao Cao calmed down Hebei, the Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi brothers fled to Liucheng and depended on the Wuhuan people. Cao Cao immediately led the troops out of Bailang Mountain, Zhang Liao was the vanguard, broke Wuhuan, and slashed.

Since then, Cao Cao's most brave son, Huang Xuer, Cao Zhang once again led the Northern Expedition, leading the army to break Wuhuan first, and subdue Master Xianbei Ke Bineng, which is deeply appreciated by Cao Cao.

After many civil servants walked out of the chamber, Cao Cao sighed deeply, stood up and looked at the sky, and said with admiration: "Yuqing, chase the death to the north, the man should be a scholar, but it's a pity that Cao can't come to the front..."

At the end of July, Cao Cao published "The Book of Zhuan Ying Yuan", expressing his support for Liu Ye's crusade against the Wuhuan people in impassioned words: "Wuhuan barbarians have committed a crime against China, and the general blatantly scolded him and protected the people. What kind of Huan Gong? Although he is not talented, he is willing to be Guan Zhong, respect the king and fight against the barbarian, and protect the world."

At the same time, Cao Cao arbitrarily allocated food and grass to Liu Ye's barracks, expressing his strong support for Liu Ye. Cao Cao deliberately publicized it. For a while, except for Sichuan, Shu and Jingzhou because of the long distance, Hebei, Central Plains, Huainan, Jiangdong, and Guanzhong all learned about this.

The Emperor of the Han Dynasty was even more happy to praise Cao Cao as a loyal minister, and ordered that gold, silver, silk, silk and silk be rewarded from the treasury. For a while, Cao Cao became a great loyal minister of the Han Dynasty.
