(Recommended reading: Purple air rises, the sun rises in the east, and Shouchun City, which has been crazy and wailing all night, finally calms down, only the ruins of the mansions that are still burning, and the bloodstains that can be seen everywhere, are telling people what happened last night!

After daylight, Cao Cao took his three sons, surrounded by many generals, the prancing horse entered the city, after breaking the city yesterday, he was not in a hurry to come in, one, the situation was too chaotic at that time, many places were still fighting fiercely, too dangerous, moreover, there was Xiao Yi in the city to command, Cao Cao did not have to be like Sun Ce, Liu Bei personally went into battle to grab the spoils, happy to be a high profile!

As soon as the 'Han Prime Minister-Daxu Banner' appeared on the streets of Shouchun City, it meant that the soldiers' carnival was over, and the battalion headquarters would begin to gather people and horses to restrain their behavior.

"Three of you, brothers, take up the sword of your father, and take a company of men and horses to patrol the streets, and whoever kills the people, burns the houses, or insults the women, there will be no forgiveness!" Looking at Shouchun City, which was a bleak scene, Cao Cao untied the 'Heavenly Sword' from his waist and handed it to his three sons.

"No!" The three brothers of the Cao family knelt on the ground and saluted, and then the eldest Cao Pi stepped forward to take the sword, greeted the two younger brothers, and led a team of cavalry.

"The three sons are extraordinary, and they will all be heroes in the future!" Looking at the three backs of the departing ones, the strategist Cheng Yu clapped his hands and praised that there are successors to the Cao family, which is also a great thing for them.

"Haha, Huangkou child, you still need to hone a lot!" Cao Cao stroked his beard, his mouth was modest, but his slender eyes were full of smiles, more than two months of battle, his three sons have been following the army, sharing weal and woe with the soldiers, learning modestly, so that he is very satisfied, of course, Cao Cao will not forget, how his three sons were reborn, all of them are Xiao Lang's work!

Along the way, seeing the magnificence and wealth in Shouchun City, Cao Cao couldn't help laughing, the first giant city in the southeast, now falling into his hands, isn't it a great joy in life, especially seeing that the city is full of seals of the Xuanjia Army, it makes him happy, "It seems that Xiao Lang is really an all-rounder, and his ability to teach children is clever, and this means of grabbing things is even more powerful, very good!" ”

"See the Prime Minister!" In front of the puppet palace, Xiao Yi had already led a large group of generals to wait, looking at his smiling appearance, who would have thought that last night because of the 'Zimu Gongzi', he was crazy and almost ordered the whole army to slaughter the city!

Washing blood with blood, such a thing, 'Ghost Face Xiao Lang' will definitely do it!

"Haha, Xiao Lang has worked hard!" Cao Cao laughed and jumped off the horse, and comforted the rest of the generals one by one, and then stepped into the puppet palace surrounded by everyone.

"Prime Minister, this is the roster of 100 officials of the Yuan family's puppet court, I don't know how to deal with it!"

A thick roster also represents hundreds of lives, and if you add their relatives, family members, and doormen, I am afraid that the number will exceed 10,000.

"Out of the puppet dynasty, betrayal of the imperial court, great rebellion, all the puppet officials of the Yuan family will be beheaded for public display, and the family will be reduced to slavery, which will be used to reward the meritorious soldiers who broke the city!" I didn't even look at it, Cao Cao's big hand for a while, he completely threw these people into the eighteenth layer of hell, as the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, he must use iron-blooded means to deter those who have different aspirations, maintain the legitimacy of the imperial court, and also maintain his authority!

"No!"

At the sound of an order, a large group of soldiers immediately rushed to the side of the main hall, picked up those quail-like pseudo-officials who had been suffering all night and dragged them out, and a wail suddenly sounded in the hall.

"Prime Minister, spare my life, I am a famous man and a famous man in Huainan!"

"I am willing to give all my family property and not keep a single copper coin, ~ I still have a few daughters at home who are like flowers ~~"

"I have opened the door to dedicate the city, I am the leading party, Prime Minister, you have promised, and you are not to blame for the past!"

No one heeded their pleas, and after being dragged out, the sword flashed, and the head fell to the ground, and then it was hung high on the palace gate for public display.

Cao Cao taught them a lesson with facts, and promised that it was just a piece of paper written by a strong man, which could be torn up at any time, unless you had the strength to bargain!

This is an unforgettable, but very educational lesson, but the tuition is a little expensive, and it is their life.

As for their small family, property, and beautiful daughter, looking at the fire in the Baiguan Mansion last night, they knew that with the thunderbolt method of that 'little overlord', I am afraid that there will not be even a straw left......

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

A bloody battle, Shouchun was taken down, but the 'pseudo-emperor' Yuan Shu ran to Lujiang County, which means that the purpose of this battle for the country is only half completed, what to do next, chase? Or not chasing?

On the imperial steps of the puppet palace and the Tai'an Palace, Cao Cao and the civil and military officers sat on the ground and began to discuss.

"Can't fight anymore, more than two months of bloody battles, tens of thousands of soldiers were killed and wounded, and the rest are also exhausted, now it's November again, the weather is getting colder, winter clothes, military rations are difficult to transport, or go back to Xuchang first, recuperate, and wait for next year's spring to come back to conquest!" Strategist Cheng Yu was the first to speak out against the fight again, he was in charge of the logistics supply of the whole army, working day and night, he grew a lot of gray hair, and he was physically and mentally exhausted!

The 170,000 troops are fighting on the front line, and the men who transport grain and grass for them in the rear, the craftsmen who rush to make ordnance, and the women who sew military uniforms, add up to 700,000.

"Yuan Shu's soldiers were defeated and fled, trapped in a place on the Lujiang River, like a wild dog whose back was broken, and it is difficult to do anything anymore!" Guo Jia still kept the wine gourd in his hand, and poured a few sips in a row, before continuing.

"Although Yuan Shu is declining, Yuan Shao of Hebei is ready to move, and the two generals under his command, Yan Liang and Wen Chou, raised 100,000 troops at the crossing of the Yellow River, although it is a bluff, but if the prime minister is on an expedition for a long time, Xuchang's troops are empty, and this virtual is difficult to guarantee that it will not become real, and it has to be guarded against!"

The two major strategists both spoke out against the war, Cao Cao couldn't help but hesitate, the rear was empty, and the food and grass were not continuous, these were the two things he had been most worried about, but he was really a little unwilling to retreat like this!

"Xiao Lang, if you send a team of men and horses day and night to attack Lujiang?" Cao Cao's plan is very clear, he led most of the men and horses back to Xuchang to sit in the town, and at the same time, he also confused the enemy, and sent another surprise army to attack Lujiang, capture Yuan Shu in one fell swoop, cut the grass and eradicate the roots, as for the candidate to lead the troops, it is naturally Xiao Yi!

"Difficult! …… Hard! The Lujiang River is surrounded by water on three sides, and it is close to Chaohu Lake, and hundreds of miles around it are the land of Shuize, and the cavalry cannot be used, so they must rely on the water army in Jiangdong, but they ~~" Speaking of this, Xiao Yi touched his chin and sighed, "In the end, whether it is Sun Ce or Liu Bei, they are all local princes!" ”

Xiao Yi's words pierced the essence of the matter, the reason why Sun Ce and Liu Bei were willing to send troops to help each other was for the sake of interests, and to share a piece of fat in Huainan, but fundamentally they were still local princes, and Cao Cao controlled the court and commanded the world, the ultimate goal was to eliminate these princes and reunify the world in Kyushu, there are irreconcilable contradictions between the two, how can the Jiangdong Navy be willing to contribute, to put it bluntly, as soon as Shouchun is broken, the tripartite alliance will be equivalent to collapse!

Moreover, Lujiang Army is Zhou Yu's hometown, and this famous Jiangdong general has long regarded it as a forbidden place, how can he let Cao Jun get involved?

"Sailors, sailors!"

The absence of a water army is a major shortcoming of Cao Cao's group, otherwise the battle in Huainan will be much smoother, and there is no need to use Sun Ce's strength to make this little tiger cub grow stronger and stronger!

However, the establishment of a naval army is not so easy, in addition to recruiting a large number of soldiers who are proficient in water, it is necessary to invest countless money to build warships, hundreds of warships, that is a gold-swallowing beast?

And Cao Cao and the strategists privately discussed the steps to unify the world, which was 'first the north and then the south, and swept away one by one', and Yuan Shao in the north was a strong enemy, and they couldn't divide their strength to build a naval army for the time being, so this battle of Huainan could only end here!

"Hehe, it's okay, the mountain is high and the road is far away, and the coming day is long!" Cao Cao is the traitor of the world in the end, and quickly reined in his mood, "Pass the order, set up a celebration banquet tonight, congratulate the breakthrough of Shouchun, and invite Sun Ce and Liu Bei to come together!" ”

"No!"
