In the fifth year of Jian'an, February 21, half a month after the spring ploughing ceremony!

In the Prime Minister's Mansion - Secret Room, Cao Cao once again convened the civil and military ministers to discuss the major affairs of the military aircraft, different from the last time to discuss the strategy, this time it is really going to send troops to the Northern Expedition, so on the generals, the generals are all draped and enter the state of battle, and the strategists also wear long swords to show the martial spirit!

On the huge cowhide map, full of all kinds of military symbols, dense and orderly, Cao Ying's hundreds of thousands of horses have been secretly assembled in place, like a pair of open bows and arrows, as long as you move slightly, the arrow will immediately point to Hebei!

"This Northern Expedition is a big matter, what is the situation in Hebei, what is Jingzhou's reaction, and how much has our army's soldiers, horses, ordnance, grain and grass prepared?"

Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, invincible in a hundred battles, before officially sending troops, Cao Cao was most worried about these three items, especially grain and grass, the top priority!

"Yuan Shao has just recovered from a serious illness, and he is recruiting troops and horses, accumulating grass and grain, trying to hold on to the city, but under repeated defeats, Hebei's manpower, material resources, and financial resources are almost exhausted, and it is difficult to make great achievements!"

Guo Jia stepped forward to report that all the military intelligence of Hebei was grasped and analyzed by him, and he studied it very thoroughly!

"Jingzhou Group, Wen Tian is martial and frolic, greedy for pleasure, Liu Biao has no ambitions, and he does not have the courage to send troops, but Liu Bei is stationed in Xinye City, training soldiers and horses, recruiting talents, and his ambition cannot be underestimated!"

Cheng Yu stepped forward and told the situation in Jingzhou, as long as Liu Biao did not send troops, Cao Jun would have no worries!

"Yuan Benchu is in a slump, there is no longer the majesty of the past, Liu Jingsheng's dog guarding the household, there is no need to worry, as for the big-eared thief, after the old man swept Hebei, he immediately waved his army south to capture this shameless man!"

Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction, according to the current situation, this time the Northern Expedition has at least a seventy percent chance of victory, but the four departments of the Xiongnu, Karasuma, Xianbei, and Liaodong must be vigilant, and there may be variables!

"This time the army sent troops to the north, and the imperial court mobilized 400,000 soldiers, all of whom were well-trained and capable of recruiting soldiers who were good at fighting, ordnance, war horses, tents, and clothing...... All the things that are used are all ready, but the grain and grass are difficult to do, and the subordinates are raising money everywhere and painstakingly scheduling, and they can only maintain it for ten months!

Xun Yu and Xun Yu were full of exhaustion, in order to raise food and grass, they did their best, but the time was too short, the country's vitality had not recovered, and they could only do this step!

"The Northern Expedition of 400,000 troops, only ten months of grain and grass, a thousand-mile journey, difficult to transport, once the grain and grass can not be helped...... That's it, when it comes to the end, you must be bold, win or lose on the battlefield, and order the whole army to conquer Yecheng within ten months, and sweep Hebei in two years! ”

Hearing that there was a shortage of food and grass, Cao Cao hesitated slightly, and then decided to send troops, as long as he captured the Yuan family's lair-Yecheng, the battle behind would be easy to fight!

"Within ten months, conquer Yecheng, two years, sweep Hebei, meet the gods and kill the gods, our army will win!"

The civil and military ministers drew their swords, and a belief in victory filled everyone's hearts...... Get out!

"The soldiers and horses have not moved, public opinion goes first, if you want to send troops to the Northern Expedition, you also need a 'document to discuss Yuan Yuan', where is my son Jian, this matter is handed over to you!"

Cao Cao stroked his long hair, and his eyes fell on Cao Zhi, this son is brilliant, especially better than himself!

"The child obeys! …… Take pen, ink, paper, inkstone! ”

Cao Zhi didn't refuse, and in front of everyone, he wrote a 'crusade against Yuan's text', without thinking, in one go, and the text is as follows:

"Yuan's father and son, Xianren and unrighteous, cunning and miserly, took advantage of the chaos in China, dominated the land of the four states of Hebei, fought for many years, fought recklessly, oppressed the people, like horses and cattle, accepted the rabble of the Quartet, colluded with the barbarian state of the grassland, was extremely vicious, ruined the souls, boldly peeped at the artifact, and had a heart of disobedience for a long time!

Kong said Chengren, the ancient precepts of the sages, Meng Yan takes righteousness, not empty talk, it is angry and angry, Zhi'an Sheji, should sound the golden drum high, kill the traitor, all my Han subjects, loyal and righteous people, should work together to destroy the Yuan rebels............

Today, there is the prime minister of the Han Dynasty - Cao Cao, who obeys the edict of the Son of Heaven, obeys the hearts of the people, commands thousands of generals, millions of soldiers, goes out of the Northern Expedition, seeks to pacify the rebels, the military and civilians of Hebei states, etc., those who return to the court are not guilty, those who resist to the end will be punished, and those who capture and kill Yuan's father and son will be rewarded with 100,000 gold, and the official will be promoted to five levels, and the marquis will be given! ”

"The fourth prince is brilliantly written, and he is really a genius in the world!"

"A piece of begging for thieves can be worth 100,000 elite soldiers, and the prime minister has a son like this, it is really a blessing from heaven!"

…………………………

After reading the text, the ministers praised each other, for Cao Zhi's literary talent, it was quite admiration, Cao Zhi hugged his fists and saluted, saying that he didn't dare, but he showed a complacent look!

At the same time, Cao Cao drew his sword in his hand and began to divide his troops and send generals, according to the plan of the 'ghost talent', this time he sent troops to the Northern Expedition, and the army was divided into three routes:

"Da Sima Xiao Yi, commander of the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry, the Trap Camp, the Modao Soldiers, the Danyang Soldiers, and the Diggers Army...... Then converge with the various departments of Guanzhong, a total of 100,000 horses, attack Shangdang, enter Bingzhou, and then enter Jizhou in the east! ”

"Xiahoudun is the main general, Xiahou Yuan, Li Dian, and Le Jin are the deputy generals, commanding the soldiers and horses of Xu and Henan, a total of 100,000 people, crossing the Dragon Gate, attacking the city of Qingzhou, and then marching west to Jizhou, forming a siege!"

"The old man and the rest of the generals led 200,000 horses in the middle of the road, sent troops from Xuchang, stationed in Liyang City, made a trend of coercing Yecheng, restrained the main force of the Yuan army, and after the three roads converged, they would fight to the death!"

Cao Cao divided his troops and sent generals, clean and neat, and arranged the routes, goals, and tasks of the three people very properly, worthy of being a wise commander!

Chess victory does not care about home, it is a taboo for soldiers, the main force of Cao's army is in the Northern Expedition, and the nest has to be taken into account, Cao Cao issued another military order:

Cao Ren was appointed as the 'General of Pingdong', commanding 30,000 horses, stationed around Xuchang City, deterring civil and military officials, in case of unforeseen events!

Cao Xiu was appointed as the commander of the Xuchang Order, and Cao Zhen was appointed as the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, responsible for the defense of the imperial city, monitoring the little emperor's every move, and the harem concubines!

Then with Cao Hong as the general of Pingnan, commanding 30,000 horses, stationed in Wancheng, monitoring the Jingzhou group, Liu Biao is the best to move his troops, that is, to send troops to the north, Cao Hong can also hold on for a while and win the buffer time!

As for Wenchen, Xun Yu, Xun You, Liu Ye, Cui Yan...... Staying in Xuchang City, dealing with daily government affairs, and making every effort to raise materials, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Man Chong, Mao Jue, and newcomers Yang Xiu and Hua Xin went out with the army to give advice, and there was also a Hebei subordinate-Xu You, who also went out with him!

As for the internal affairs of the Prime Minister's Mansion, all of them are handed over to Mrs. Bian, with her shrewdness and ability, and with the help of two daughters, she will definitely take care of it properly and have a harmonious family!

After everything was arranged, Cao Cao's eyes turned and fell on his sons, this time he sent troops to the Northern Expedition, just to test the hearts and abilities of his sons, who can become the heir!

"Zihuan, Ziwen, and Zijian have all grown up, and they should serve the country, this time they will send troops to the Northern Expedition, and you will each follow the people along the way to learn the way of using troops, as for how to distribute them, what is your opinion?"

As soon as Cao Cao's words came out, the three sons trembled, and the ministers were also in good spirits, this is a major matter for the establishment of the reserve, which is related to the future of Cao Ying, and must be treated with caution!

Everyone understands in their hearts that the three sons, the three people, whoever is assigned to the middle route army, who has the most advantage, can follow the prime minister's side, teach by word and deed, and it is easy to gain favor, which is equal to half the success!

However, the traitorous ambition is deep-minded, and he treats his sons the same, on the surface he asks about his wishes, but in fact, he examines his will, who proposes to follow the middle route army, that is, he is consumed by the desire for profit, and he does not think of brotherhood, but if he does not fight for it, he is not self-motivated, and it is difficult to take on the big responsibility!

"The children are young and shallow, everything depends on their fathers, no matter which way they follow, they are all serving the country!"

The son of a traitorous male must not be stupid, Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, and Cao Zhi knelt down and saluted, pushing back the right to choose, and only the father can have the final say in the matter of Lichu!

"In this case, Zijian is weak and the youngest, so let's follow the father, and the eldest husband also pities the younger son, so everyone laughs!"

Maybe it's because he favors Cao Zhi's literary talents, or maybe it's for another purpose, Cao Cao left his youngest son by his side!

As soon as the words came out, Cao Zhi's face was full of joy, and he was more confident in the heir position, on the contrary, Cao Pi and Cao Zhang's expressions were gloomy, since his father didn't like him, he could only think of another countermeasure!

"Da Sima can be good at fighting and using soldiers like a god, and the child is willing to follow the Western Route Army to fight on the battlefield together, and he can also learn the method of commanding the army!"

Cao Pi took a step forward and took the initiative to ask for an order, if he wants to become an heir, first, his father favors him and focuses on training; The second is the support of the ministers and their full support, especially the attitude of the generals, but it is very important!

Xiao Yiwen is a martial artist, holding a heavy army, and the head of the generals, how close he is to him, but it is very beneficial, to put it mildly, after a hundred years of his father, a political will is no more than a steel knife, who controls the army, who is the master of the world!

"Hehe, in this case, Zihuan follows the Western Route Army, Ziwen follows the Eastern Route Army, you must obey the military orders, study modestly, and don't let your father down!"

Cao Cao nodded slightly, looked at his second son Cao Pi, and glanced at Xiao Yi again, there was a deep meaning in his eyes, the traitor chooses the heir, as long as he is a capable son, not a cute son!

"No! …… The child obeys! ”
