After a few days of fighting, coupled with the unremitting attack of more than 300,000 Yellow Turban troops, the original 45,000 Cao army was only 30,000 at this time, and it was still exhausted.

"Newspaper~~"

In the central camp of the three major battalions of the Yellow Turban, a Cao army spy came to Cao Cao quickly, dismounted, knelt down on one knee, raised his head and hugged his fist and said: "Lord Lord, Guan Hai has led the Yellow Turban army back to the division at this time, and at the same time, there are about 50,000 Yellow Turban soldiers surrounding Xiangben, and General Zhao Yun and others in the city can't take a step out of Xiangben!" ”

"Oh, the Yellow Turban Sergeant hasn't lost his morale since he heard the news?"

Guan Hai's rapid return of the troops was indeed a bit unexpected by Cao Cao, which made him very curious, what method did Guan Hai use to quickly rectify the Yellow Turban Army after hearing the news.

"Returning to the lord, after Guan Hai heard the news, he killed the Yellow Turban soldier on the spot, and at the same time said, "······"

Looking at this Cao soldier, Cao Cao suddenly became more curious, although he understood that Guan Hai would definitely not say anything good about himself, but he was still very curious and said: "What to call, don't be so divisive, no matter what it is, I will forgive you for your innocence!" ”

After receiving Cao Cao's promise, the heart of this Cao sergeant finally let go, and he also had the courage to say Guan Hai's words in one breath: "Guan Hai called the lord a villain, instigated the Yellow Turban soldiers, killed the lord, and avenged his family!" ”

"What, Guan Hai is bold!"

"Lord, the last general has already said that Jia Xu's plan is clearly a place of dedication to the lord and injustice!"

"The reputation of the lord has been damaged, it is all the fault of the lord, please punish the lord!"

The anger of Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and Cao Ren, Xiahou Xuan's dissatisfaction with Jia Xu, and the old fox Jia Xu immediately pleaded guilty, all of which were seen by Cao Cao.

Cao Cao glanced at Wenwu with different expressions, put his eyes on Xiahou Dun's body and said: "Okay, get up, Yuan Rang, this plan is what I agree, how can I blame Wen He, and Wen He, you also get up, I, Cao Cao, am not Yuan Shao, if there is a mistake, blame my subordinates, not what my Cao Cao will do!" ”

"My lord, alas!"

Seeing that Cao Cao was bent on reporting Jia Xu, Xiahoudun sighed helplessly, and then glanced at Jia Xu angrily, in Xiahoudun's heart, the reason why Cao Cao was like this was completely because of Jia Xu's problem.

Regarding Xiahoudun's unkind attitude, Jia Xu did not have the slightest anxiety and uneasiness in his heart, but was happy in his heart, and he was aware of Cao Cao's thoughts, and wished that Xiahoudun, these generals, and even Guo Jia, these ministers, would be as far away from him as possible.

There is great strength in numbers, unity is strength, and connections are the foundation or something, which is definitely not suitable for the officialdom when Cao Cao was the lord, this is a new understanding in Jia Xu's heart.

After waving his hand to let Xiahou Xuan, who looked helpless, and Jia Xu, who didn't know whether it was true or fake, in short, with a look of gratitude and emotion on his face, and the Cao Jun spy retreated, Cao Cao said: "Since Guan Hai wants Cao's head, then let me Cao Cao give him Guan Hai a big gift first!" ”

Cao Cao, who had a warm smile on his face, turned his gaze to Cao Ren behind him and said: "Zixiao, pass the order, let my sergeants escort some of the Yellow Turban families in the camp to the front of the camp, I want to see if the Yellow Turban soldiers under Guan Hai can still do anything in the face of this!" ”

Sinister, shameless, villain, these words can well describe Cao Cao's image at this time, and Cao Cao is also very clear, but so what?

In Cao Cao's view, it is just a legend of heroes, an epic of heroes, on the road to the world, intrigues, deceit, and unscrupulous means are the main theme.

Cao Cao did not deny that he was very shameless at this time, but as early as the beginning, in order to quickly calm the world, Cao Cao had already prepared for the reputation behind him.

Moreover, history is written by the victors after all, such as Genghis Khan Temujin, the founder of the Mengyuan Dynasty, the so-called founder of the Qing Dynasty in later generations, Tiancong Khan, Emperor Taiji of the Qing Dynasty, these two on the road to compete for the world, the Han people killed, with the historical record of the Han people attacking the city, I don't know how many, but in the end, in later generations, there are not a bunch of people who worship them and worship the so-called Great Yuan and Qing Dynasty that they created.

And their actions, on top of some historical records, have even been embellished, for example, what kind of ethnic integration is this qiē and so on.

Therefore, for Cao Cao, he doesn't mind learning, history has proved that under unscrupulous means, the speed of pacifying the world is often the fastest.

For example, Cao Cao in history, slaughtering cities and flooding cities did not do less, but in the end, the Central Plains and the northern land were the most quickly pacified, and later, the Wei Empire's national strength, military strength, population number, etc., were the strongest, and the population recovery time was much earlier than the other two countries, Shu Han and Eastern Wu.

Blindly pursuing benevolence, justice, etc., it can only be dragged on continuously, and it may even drag on until death There is no way to calm the world, so it is difficult to say which aspect will hurt more.

After Cao Cao's order was conveyed, groups of people in yellow scarves wearing cloth clothes and even sewn clothes were pressed to the forefront by the black-clothed and black-armored Cao soldiers.

Seeing this, the civil and military forces behind Cao Cao flashed a trace of unbearable color in their eyes, and Lu Su was even more angry and wanted to step forward to persuade Cao Cao.

It's just that before Lu Su took a few steps, he found that he was being pulled by someone, and looked at the hands that were holding his sleeves, Lu Su asked angrily: "Fengxiao, why do you want to stop me, don't you see, the lord is actually escorting those people to the front of the battlefield that is about to become the battlefield?!" ”

Although Lu Su was angry in his heart, because he was still loyal to Cao Cao in his heart, the voice of this angry question was also very low, and only Guo Jia beside Lu Su could hear it.

Let go of Lu Su's hand, looking at the original generous face, at this time his face flushed with anger, Guo Jia's face was no longer frivolous and playful at the beginning, but said with a solemn face: "Zijing, don't forget it, what I have to face at this time is the 300,000 Yellow Turban Army, if we face it head-on, even if our army finally wins, it will kill 10,000 enemies and lose 8,000, after the defeat of the 300,000 Yellow Turban Army, there are still 780,000 Yellow Turban families, among these family members, Maybe some of them are still the Yellow Turban soldiers in the Yellow Turban Rebellion that occurred in the first year of Zhongping, once these family members riot, do you think we can suppress it, once the riot is not suppressed, the safety of the lord is another matter, just say that these Qingzhou Yellow Turbans will spread completely, by that time, not only Qingzhou, Xu Erzhou at this time, but even Yanzhou may be affected by it, the safety of the people of Sanzhou, these, Zijing have you thought about it?! ”
