Cheng Yu smiled slightly and said: "The acting must be finished, otherwise the hundreds of thousands of stone grains will not be given by the people of the family in vain, and it will make them unhappy at that time." ”

"Hahaha! Reasonable, reasonable. The food shortage crisis was solved, and Xia Houyuan was also in a good mood, and when he heard this, he couldn't help laughing.

When night came, the long-lost shouting and killing sound sounded in Chen Liucheng again, and the people in the city were terrified, and they didn't dare to look in.

As the sky brightened, the shouts of killing faded away, as if nothing had happened last night.

It's just that the soldiers who were under martial law along the way, and the corpses that were unrecognizable, were transported outside the city to be buried, announcing that the shouts of killing last night were true.

After some investigation, it was found that there was no bloodshed last night, which made the panicked family feel a lot more relieved, and they also sped up sending people to send food to the barracks.

After three consecutive days, the city finally settled down, and Xia Houyuan also began to make a list of the people, announcing that the remnants of the city had been wiped out, and martial law was withdrawn.

When the news of Chen Liu's return to Puyang, Cao Cao was also in a good mood, and decided to officially put the matter of welcoming back the Son of Heaven on the agenda.

Xun Yu, Xun You, and Xi Zhicai can be called Cao Cao's confidants, so Cao Cao decided to ask their opinions first.

In a remote hut, Cao Cao's small eyes swept over the three of them, and then he closed his eyes and said: "Let you come today, just for one thing, that is, whether to welcome back the Son of Heaven, there is no one else here, what do you think, just say it and listen to it." ”

Xun You stood up with a smile and said, "Since this is the case, then start with You, if there is anything wrong, please speak up and discuss it together." ”

"Hey, Gongda sat down and said, there are no outsiders here, there is no need to be so restrained." Cao Cao opened his eyes slightly and waved his hand to let Xun You sit down.

Xun You gave a hand, walked back to the distance and sat down and said: "At present, Chang'an is occupied by the Xiliang army, and the Xiliang army is not working together. ”

"Not long ago, the spies came to report again, saying that Zhang Ji was afraid of Li Dao and Guo Yan harming them, and had led his troops to Wancheng to garrison."

"That is to say, there are only two soldiers and horses in Chang'an, Guo Yan and Li Dao, and the two are also suspicious of each other, one holds the Son of Heaven hostage, and the other holds hundreds of officials, and conflicts break out in the city at every turn."

"In this way, the people in Chang'an City are already panicking, if the lord leads the troops at this time, it must not take much energy, and it can be taken."

"I don't know what you think?" After Xun You finished speaking, he looked at everyone and thought about hearing their opinions.

"Ahem...... cough cough ......" Xi Zhi kept coughing a few times, and then he felt better, and the pale and sallow complexion on his face also turned slightly red due to continuous coughing at this time.

With a sigh of relief, Xi Zhicai said weakly: "Gongda is right, the Xiliang army is indeed divided, and if it captures the land of Jingshi, it can also collect tens of thousands of elites, and it has expanded its armaments. ”

"But at present, Yanzhou has missed the spring planting season through the rebellion of Lu Bu, and the government does not have much grain in stock, so it can maintain the status quo, and wait for the autumn harvest next year, if the sword soldiers are raised, I am afraid that there will be a food shortage crisis."

Xun Yu, who is in charge of logistics, is naturally the most aware of this matter.

I saw him nod and said: "Yes, attacking the Sili Captain's Department at this time does require a lot of grain and grass, which is a difficult problem!" ”

Hearing Xun Yu's words, Cao Cao couldn't help but open his eyes and look at him, he had always advocated welcoming back the Son of Heaven before, how could he disagree now.

Seeing Cao Cao coming, Xun Yu changed his tone and said: "But if you welcome back the Son of Heaven, it is also a great advantage, in name, the lord can occupy the righteousness, and the rest of the princes will bow down to the courtiers, and the loyal people of the world will also come here." ”

"So Yu thought that before the rest of the princes thought about this, they should send troops to take down the Sili Captain Department as soon as possible."

"As for the danger of lack of food, the lord can borrow it from the family, and on the grounds of clearing the remnants of Lu Bu and others, I think that the family will take out food to save their lives."

There are many advantages to sending troops, but the only problem is the lack of food, and after capturing Chang'an and other places, the population will increase as soon as it increases, and I am afraid that the shortage of food will be even more serious.

However, Xun Yu's method is also good, since Chen Liu has achieved miraculous results, why not repeat the old technique.

Cao Cao thought for a while in his heart, met the eyes of the three of them and said: "What you said makes sense, the lack of food is a big problem, and now it is about to be autumn, and there are only a few cities in Yanzhou that are cultivated in time, and the people are also panicking, or you can borrow troops to transfer the contradictions under the rule, which is also a good way." ”

Cao Cao said that it is not unreasonable, as soon as autumn comes, the people have no harvest, and they will have nothing to do.

Since Cao Cao intended to send troops, the three of them also began to change their minds and think about how to quickly resolve the battle.

Seeing that no one objected, Cao Cao said: "This battle cannot be delayed, it must be ended as soon as possible, if it drags on for some days, I am afraid it will backfire, do you have a good plan?" ”

Xun Yu has always wanted to welcome back the Son of Heaven, so he paid more attention to the matter of Chang'an, and when he heard Cao Cao's question, he hurriedly said:

"Dong Cheng, the minister of the central government, this person is the nephew of the former emperor Empress Dowager Dong, if he is the internal response, he will definitely get twice the result with half the effort."

"At that time, contacting the loyal ministers of the DPRK and China, asking them to offer their plans to the Son of Heaven, move back to the old capital, and disrupt the quarrel between Li Dao and others, has played a role in confusing the public."

"Then the lord can pretend to serve the edict of the Son of Heaven and lead the army to quickly welcome back the Son of Heaven, and he will definitely succeed in one fell swoop."

"The Son of Heaven takes it back, and the lord can pardon the crimes of the Xiliang Army in the name of the Son of Heaven, let them come and surrender, and accept it as their own use."

Xun You nodded in agreement and said: "First mess up his mind, and then take advantage of the chaos to achieve great things, this plan is very good." ”

Cao Cao touched his mustache, glanced at Xi Zhicai and asked, "What does Zhicai think?" ”

Xi Zhicai nodded slowly and said, "Back to the lord, this law is feasible and should be implemented as soon as possible." ”

Cao Cao nodded and said: "Okay, the matter of contacting the ministers of the court and the central government will be handed over to Wenruo, and Gongda will be on standby with me to prepare to take back the Son of Heaven." ”

"Yes."

"Yes."

"Yes."

"Whew!" Cao Cao took a long breath, looked at the three people who received the order, and said, "Wen Ruo and Gongda will go and get busy first, and Zhicai will stay." ”

Xun Yu and Xun Yu saluted, opened the door, and then closed it and left.

Looking at Cao Cao in front of him, Xi Zhi knew that what he said before was about to have a result.

"Ahem!" couldn't help coughing twice, and Xi Zhicai spoke: "Lord, Zhicai would rather die than go." ”

Cao Cao slowly closed his eyes and said, "Zhicai, if you don't go, with your current physical condition, how long can you delay?" ”

Oh, yes! How long can you live if you don't go?

After his death, one of them gave advice to the lord.

But if you go, can you come back? Will we meet our lord on the battlefield in the future? If that's the case, then what's the fear of death?

Xi Zhicai's face was dead, and his sallow face became a little red. "Ahem, if Zhicai dies next to the lord, he will die without regrets."
