Chapter 229: The Three-Year Period

PS: Thanks to the two monthly tickets voted by Sina 22 brothers, now upload a chapter first, and there is another chapter around 11 o'clock in the evening.

"The last general, Gao Shun, greets the prime minister!"

Cao Cao's oath in the name of the prime minister of the Han Dynasty and his sincere expression, coupled with a glimmer of hope in his heart that Lu Bu was still alive and wanted to protect Lu Bu's family, these various reasons combined to make Gao Shun finally agree to Cao Cao's mention and temporarily be loyal to Cao Cao as a guest.

Because he is a guest secretary, of course, Gao Shun's title to Cao Cao is not like Xiahou and them, directly calling him the lord, but the prime minister who seems a little rusty.

"General, please get up, Lu Bu's house is in the backyard, and the general can go and have a look then."

Although Gao Shun did not formally serve himself, but temporarily served as a guest secretary, Cao Cao was a little disappointed, but he was actually very satisfied, not to mention, since Gao Shun entered his Cao Cao's bowl, then don't think about running away from now on, or honestly serve yourself and train soldiers.

After subduing Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, Cao Cao let everyone retreat after dealing with Luoyang's reply, leaving Cao Cao, who was left alone in the lobby, slowly exhaled.

No one knows, this time the attack of Yuan Shu and Lu Bu one after another, Cao Cao is still very anxious and even has some panic, Yuan Shu's army of more than 400,000 people, although most of them are ordinary people, but as the saying goes, ants bite elephants to death, not to mention that there are 100,000 soldiers who have some combat experience led by Lu Bu himself.

On the one hand, there were as many as 500,000 Yuan Lu's army, and on the other hand, there were 200,000 Cao troops who had been fighting for several months and had not rested for long.

Fortunately, in the end, the strong combat effectiveness of the Cao army, which was guided by the policies implemented for a long time, did not kill Cao Cao in the end, and fortunately, the civil and military forces under his command were able to defend the city to the death. Delayed Yuan Shu and Lu Bu's footsteps.

Now that Yuan Shu is extinguished and Lu Bu is dead, the Central Plains has been completely occupied, and Lejin has also advanced lightly. Thinking that Chang'an has already been occupied, Guanzhong can also be regarded as a start, so the next thing is the northern land.

Cao Cao, who was sitting on the main seat, tapped his fingers on the armrest of the chair, and secretly thought in his heart. Today, Cao's army has occupied the Central Plains and Guanzhong, as long as Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan in the north are defeated, then the north will usher in a great unification, and Cao's army's black-on-black and gold-lettered banner will flutter over the entire northern land.

Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan, history has become like this, I don't know if there will be a battle of Guandu in the battle of northern unification in this time and space.

Thinking that the north was about to be unified, Cao Cao was very excited in his heart, because of the Central Plains and Guanzhong region. At the end of the first year of Jian'an, the unification was ushered in, which showed that his Cao Cao's crossing was still useful, and he finally succeeded in preventing the long-term civil strife and attrition of the Han people during the Three Kingdoms period of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

For Cao Cao, this information can undoubtedly make him feel better because he has been in various cunning scenes for a long time, and at the same time, Cao Cao is also a little curious in his heart, I don't know if the battle of northern unification that occurred in such a time and space by himself will appear in the battle of Guandu, which is famous in history and in later generations.

"But you still have to recuperate first."

Cao Cao, who had recovered from his excitement, thought of the impact of the successive wars on Cao's army this year. Rubbing his brows, he sighed softly, Cao Jun at this time, don't say that the army will be mobilized. Competing with Yuan Shao and Gongsun Chan for hegemony in the north and unifying the four northern states, even if an army of 10,000 or even thousands of people was dispatched to support Lejin in Chang'an, Guanzhong, it was impossible.

"Three years, as long as I am given three years to recuperate, then with the rich land of the Central Plains, it is enough for me to hoard enough materials to support the pacification of the north. Three years, no matter what, Cao Jun will definitely not be able to make a big move within three years! ”

Three years is the shortest time calculated by Cao Cao, that is to say, within the time of three years, Cao's army will never send an army of more than 20,000 people unless necessary.

And three years later, the rich Central Plains, which had been fully recuperated, was enough to support Cao Cao to lead a large army to level the four states and unify the entire north!

"Come, send messengers, go to the Quartet, in the name of the wedding of the Son of Heaven, invite those princes to come to Chendu to watch the ceremony!"

Since in the next three years, the focus of the Cao army will turn to diplomacy, so it is inevitable to invite the envoys of the princes from all walks of life, and the wedding of the Han Xian Emperor in the second year of Jian'an is undoubtedly an excellent interface.

In October of the first year of Jian'an, Cao Cao led the soldiers and generals back to Chendu, at that time, Chendu can be described as unprecedented, the people of the sea of people, Yunjie on both sides of the road, for these Cao soldiers who pacified the rebellion and protected their stable and peaceful life and returned Cao Cao cheered, one after another long live the sound of long live, resounding and above the sky.

The lord has won the hearts of the people.

Seeing this scene of the people cheering, the civil and military of Cao Jun looked at each other and smiled, they knew very well that in Chendu, Cao Cao had already won the hearts of the people in the city, and even they knew one thing, that is, in the hearts of these people, they only knew Prime Minister Cao Cao, but did not know Liu Xie, the son of heaven.

"Minister Cao Cao, lead the rebel soldiers, see Your Majesty, may my emperor be happy for a long time!"

Cao Cao's voice made the whole scene quiet all of a sudden, and the eyes of the people of Chen Du who looked at Cao Cao were full of love and admiration, because they knew very well who brought them to their peaceful and stable life today, and this alone was enough to make them love, reverence, and worship Cao Cao.

And wearing a black and red dragon robe, wearing the crown of the Son of Heaven, Emperor Han Xian's eyes were full of fear when he looked at Cao Cao, once upon a time, when he heard that Yuan Shu and Lu Bu had dispatched an army of more than 500,000 together, and Cao Cao only dispatched 200,000 soldiers and horses, Emperor Han Xian almost every moment fantasized about the news of Cao Cao's defeat.

It's a pity that in the end, the news came that Yuan Shu and Lu Bu were defeated, and the army of more than 500,000 troops was wiped out, and even they themselves became the ghosts of Cao Jun's sword.

Cao Cao, who led 200,000 soldiers and horses to pacify Yuan Lu's army of more than 500,000 troops, was almost more terrifying than that evil ghost in the eyes of Emperor Han Xian at this time, and at the same time, Cao Cao's record this time made Emperor Han Xian despair, and he understood one thing more clearly, that is, if he wanted to get rid of the identity of becoming Cao Cao's puppet, he might never see it.
