2. The Prime Minister was preparing to inspect the Yellow River and Yanjin to observe the troops, and when the news came out, the civil and military officials discussed one after another, some people were happy, some people were sad, and some people wrote secret letters to inform the princes of the Quartet, and the world was stirred again!

The sorrow is that Cao Ying and the civil and military, the war in Xiliang is in full swing, the people in Xuchang City are panicking, the prime minister is out to watch the troops at this time, once the court changes, I am afraid the general trend is not good!

Rejoicing is those loyal ministers of the Han family, for a long time, Cao Cao ruled the country with an iron fist, tyrannical and domineering, and they couldn't breathe, this 'Lord of Yama' left Xuchang, and their opportunity came, especially the little emperor Liu Xie, after learning the news, he happily ate two more bowls of rice, and his little belly was higher than his chest, almost dying!

"It's a matter of the stability of the court, the life and death of the family, and the act of going out to watch the troops, please think twice about your father?" In the prime minister's mansion, Cao Pichang couldn't kneel, hoping that his father would take back the order, according to the rules, Cao Cao went out to inspect, he would inevitably stay in Xuchang, sit in the imperial court, a fifteen-year-old boy, took on such a heavy responsibility?

"Hehe, in an eventful autumn, on the occasion of survival, my son can have his own opinions, and I am very relieved for my father!" Cao Cao stroked his long hair with his hands, and he felt a lot of emotion in his heart, after the epidemic of the eldest son, the second son quickly matured, and the other sons also performed well, God is not thin on himself!

"However, after all, Wu'er is young and inexperienced, and he only sees the risks of his father's trip, but he doesn't know that there are countless opportunities hidden in the risks......

First of all, his father patrolled the banks of the Yellow River, which could contain a large number of soldiers and horses in Hebei, Yuan Shao was unable to aid the west, Xiao Lang would be able to exert his fists and feet, quickly pacify the twelve counties of Xiliang, and benefit the country!

Secondly, the Cao and Yuan families must have a life-and-death decisive battle, for the father's name to inspect Yanjin, in fact, check Guandu, where the top ten is the place of the decisive battle, familiar with the topography of the mountains and rivers, familiar with the geographical environment, and have a three-point chance of winning before the battle!

In the end, the undercurrent of the court is surging, all relying on the shock of the father, those people dare not make trouble, but the hidden worries are not eliminated, it will become a big trouble, and the father left Xuchang, just to see who will jump out of the rebellion, or to clean the court and eliminate dissidents! ”

Looking at the direction of the court, Cao Cao sneered, "A few clowns who jump off the beam, how capable can they be, get rid of them, just a flick of their fingers, but there is still one thing that has not been said, I went out to watch the troops, and I also took the opportunity to exercise the talents of several sons, and see who is the hidden dragon of the Cao family?" ”

"My father is the wise man of the world, controlling the court, deterring the ministers, and ruling the heroes, no one in the world is incomparable, and the child is difficult to match!" Cao Pi knelt on the ground and bowed to worship, admiring in his heart at the same time, he also gave birth to a sense of powerlessness, with such a strong father, I am afraid that he will never be able to cross!

"Hehe, I don't have to be presumptuous, at least in terms of appearance, you are far better than your father!" Looking at his son's handsome face and touching his old face, Cao Cao looked up to the sky and laughed, "A big hero may not be a handsome guy!" ”

The plan has been decided, and after a few days of preparation, Cao Cao left his second son Cao Pi to sit in Xuchang, and entrusted the government to Xun Yu and Xun You, and ordered the general Cao Ren to command 30,000 troops and station them outside the city in case of accidents.

Keep a son, take a son, everyone with a discerning eye knows that Cao Cao is choosing an heir, Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, who is the next head of the Cao family, it's hard to say, what is taken away may not be valued, and what is left may not be despised, and there is even a possibility, the two sons are smoke, confusing the eyes of the world, the real hidden dragon, is still growing up carefree in the Prime Minister's Mansion, who can guess the mind of the traitor?

However, some things must be prepared for a rainy day, and many officials have taken action to arrange for the elite children of the family, some of whom are recommended to Cao Pi and enter the prime minister's mansion, and some of them follow Cao Zhi to go out to inspect together, and bet on both sides, they will not all fail, right?

Seeing this situation, Cao Cao just smiled, did not stop, did not intervene, let it unfold naturally, the sons have grown up, they should have their own stage and display their talents, as for the real heir in his heart, I am afraid that only God knows, take a step, look at a step!

"Woohoo! …… Whining! ”

"The Prime Minister is on patrol, and if the people have grievances, they can declare it in front of the horse, and there is no allow!"

"The Prime Minister is on patrol, and the elders of the world who have a skill can recommend themselves and will definitely be hired!"

…………………………………………

Different from the previous unpretentious and unpretentious, noble soldiers' marching methods, Cao Cao put on a full posture this time, took out a full set of prime minister's honor guards, opened the way with iron horses, surrounded by armor soldiers, tens of thousands of troops, fluttering flags for more than ten miles before and after, and the sound of drums and trumpets was endless, which was not much inferior to the patrol of the Son of Heaven!

Everywhere he went, Cao Cao would summon officials, inquire about the people's feelings, and sometimes take his son to visit the local Confucianism and celebrities, talk about government affairs, select talents, and make a huge noise, so that all the princes of the world know that the traitor has left the nest!

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Hebei-Yecheng, after learning the news of Cao Cao's patrol, Yuan Shao convened important ministers overnight, Tian Feng, Fu Zhu, Xu You, and Guo Tu came one after another, and the eldest prince Yuan Tan also came, and everyone sat around the secret room to discuss countermeasures!

"Cao thief left Xuchang and went to Yanjin to watch the army, there must be deceit in it, could it be that I took advantage of my emptiness and tried to succeed in Hebei?" Yuan Shao's face was gloomy, his 150,000 army, two generals, and two strategists were all contained in the Xiliang battlefield, which was equivalent to tying an arm.

"Don't worry, the lord doesn't worry, this is just Cao Thief's 'bluff' plan, the Central Plains locust plague has just passed, the people are exhausted, Cao Thief has to support the Xiliang battlefield, the consumption is huge, then there is spare strength to send troops north, as long as you hold the Yellow River crossing and monitor the movement on the opposite side, it is enough!"

While speaking, Tian Feng took out a map from his arms, which was densely packed with symbols, especially in the 'Guandu' position, there was a huge red cross, the battle between Cao and Yuan for life and death, he had been planning for a long time!

"Yuan Hao's words are inappropriate, Cao thief is treacherous, the world knows it, if there is no plan, what is he doing along the Yellow River, or send soldiers and horses, it is better to be careful!" When Guo Tu spoke, his eyes swept over Yuan Tan and told the eldest prince that our opportunity has come!

"The third prince conquered Xiliang, took away 150,000 horses, requisitioned 300,000 people, and consumed huge grain and grass, half of Hebei's strength was spent on this, if you send troops along the Yellow River, you have to continue to recruit troops and collect grain, I am afraid that if you violate the spring ploughing, the people will be resentful!" Fu Zhu also objected, although Hebei is strong, it is difficult to support the two battlefields, if the people's power is exhausted, what can be used to defeat Cao Thief and dominate the world?

"Cao thief is treacherous, you can't guard against it, Hebei is tired, it is also a fact, this matter must be considered in the long run...... "Xu You is a master of the mud, and he can best balance the opinions of the strategists, but now, it is just a mess of mud, and if it continues, it will only become more and more chaotic!"

"This is a trick of the Cao thief, as soon as the soldiers and horses move, they will fall into their trap, or wait and see what happens!"

"The way of the art of war, fiction and reality, in case people are playing real, wouldn't we sit back and wait for death?"

"Conscription, requisition of grain, endless, if this continues, even if Hebei is rich in the world, it will consume all the ......"

……………………………………………………

In the secret room, there was a lot of arguing, in general, the opponents had the upper hand, but no one dared to guarantee that Cao Jun would not kill him, and the final decision-making power was left to Yuan Shao, it depends on his courage and vision!

"I'd rather believe it, not believe it, the old man and Cao Agui have known each other for 30 years, and they know that they are extremely treacherous, and they are bold, and dare to do things that ordinary people dare not do, and more troops and horses must be sent along the Yellow River to prevent accidents!"

Yuan Shao hesitated for a long time, and finally decided to send troops, not afraid of 10,000, just in case, as for the problem of ordinary people, the land of the four states is not guaranteed, what is the use of leaving them?

"The child is not talented, he is willing to command 100,000 troops, stationed in Liyang, set up a large camp, and monitor Cao Thief's every move, so that he does not dare to covet the land of Hebei!" Yuan Tan immediately took the initiative to ask for help, and his opportunity finally came!

Yuan Shang commanded 150,000 troops and went to Xiliang, if he controlled 100,000 horses and sat in Liyang, he would be able to share with him equally, and it was also a good opportunity to cultivate his personal strength, how could he miss it!

"Wu'er is resolute and brave, but he is a candidate to lead the army, but Cao Thief is cunning and good at using soldiers, so he needs to be more careful!" Yuan Shao prefers the youngest son, and has the heart to establish a reserve, so he naturally apologizes for this eldest son, and also wants to make amends, so he nodded and agreed!

"The strength of the lord is much better than Cao Thief, but the others are much inferior, the wisdom loses three points, the courage loses three points, the vision loses three points, there is only one point left, if you want to achieve great things, it is difficult!" Tian Feng shook his head secretly, sighed in his heart, and looked at the complacent Yuan Tan again, "The battle for the heirs is together, and the remaining points can't be saved!" ”
