Xuchang.

At the court meeting, Liu Bei was helped by Lu Yao, the king of Zhuya, and the news of occupying Xuzhou caused great confusion. The civil and military officials were all panicked, and subconsciously looked at Prime Minister Cao Cao, who was standing at the top of the shift.

At the beginning, King Zhuya strongly supported Cao Cao, and Cao Cao had today's glory. But now that the war between Cao and Yuan is imminent, the famous King of Zhuya did not come to help Cao Cao, but went to help Liu Bei.

What does King Zhuya mean?

Cao Cao's eyes closed slightly, like an old monk in a fixed place, ignoring the strange gazes cast by the civil and military officials. It wasn't until the Manchu Dynasty and the civil and military forces were quiet that he opened his eyes, and his gaze seemed to sweep casually.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were all silent, and they all lowered their heads under his majestic gaze.

Cao Cao is powerful today, and he is terrifying.

"You can just wait for a good student to assist the Son of Heaven, and you don't have to care about such trivial things." Cao Cao said coldly, and then bowed his hand to the emperor above, and then was the first to retreat.

"Prime Minister." Emperor Xian hurriedly spoke up, wanting to call back Cao Cao, and carefully ask King Zhuya, who he treated as a brother, why he didn't come to Xuchang.

In the past few years, he has really had a hard time under Cao Cao's fierce name. Even if Cao Cao sent his two daughters into the palace, it didn't make him have the slightest respect for Cao Cao, but he was even more afraid, desperately longing that the King of Zhuya, who rescued him like a god, could return to his side to help him regain power.

Cao Cao faced the call of the emperor, as if he had not heard of it, and soon left the main hall. Emperor Xian's face was hot, but he had to announce his retreat from the dynasty.

The civil and military officials were busy and hastily ended this embarrassing court meeting, and left in groups. In Xuchang City, the Son of Heaven is not the biggest, but Prime Minister Cao Cheng. Cao Cao's every move is related to everyone's net worth, and he has to hurry back and prepare to send someone to find out the first-hand news, so as not to be in a hurry in the future and miss the opportunity.

Cao Cao returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and contrary to his calmness at the court meeting, he immediately summoned his subordinates to discuss the matter of Xuzhou.

Soon after, Guo Jia and other cadres of Wenchen, Xiahoudun and other military generals gathered together. Cao Cao and the others arrived, and said, "I want to conquer Xuzhou first." ”

With just a few words, Cao Cao set the tone for this discussion. Yuan Shao is a scumbag, let's ignore him. Liu Bei of Xuzhou and Lu Yao, the king of Zhuya, are our great enemies, so let's do these two first.

"Prime Minister, I thought that the soldiers were fast. Xuzhou Liu Bei Xinzhi Xuzhou, the foothold is not stable, if the army is raised within three days, along the river to the east, converge with the Qingzhou Zangba army, turn south, and take Xuzhou Zhizhi Tancheng, will be able to win or lose in a battle. Cheng Yu took the lead in proposing.

Zang Ba is attacking Beihai and other counties in Qingzhou. Liu Bei of Xuzhou just blocked the passage between Zang Bajun and Xuchang, making Zang Bajun a lone army and in danger. Along the Yellow River east into Qingzhou, confluence with Zangba. First, it can rescue this lonely army, and second, if it goes south from Qingzhou to Xuzhou, it can also catch Liu Bei off guard and play a surprise effect.

After all, the best route to attack Xuzhou from Xuchang is Pengcheng, Xiaopei, and then turn to Pi.

"This plan is a good strategy, and it has the effect of a miracle soldier. It's just that this battle is not insignificant. The prime minister is becoming more and more powerful, and he is hidden as the first prince in the world. At this time, the first war shocked Xiaoxiao, with the prestige of the prime minister. I thought that I would send troops to attack Xiaopei first, and then go down to Pengcheng. Occupying these two places, Liu Bei has no way to retreat. In a few days, our army will be able to march into Xiapi and take Tancheng directly. Guo Jia shook his head in opposition and pointed out Cao Cao's current weaknesses.

The prestige is not prominent enough.

Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes to set the capital Xuchang, and the momentum was unmatched for a while. But Emperor Xian is not the only one in the world today. There is also a young emperor in Yecheng. Yuan Shao supported the young emperor to occupy all the land of Hebei, and his prestige was not inferior to Cao Cao.

The two dragons competed for the position, and the fisherman profited.

All the princes in the world are still watching, and they may jump out at any time and stab Cao Cao fiercely. Liu Bei of Xuzhou and Lu Yao, the king of Zhuya, happened to be the targets of Liwei.

Liu Bei is known as benevolent. This has a miraculous effect on the prestige of the people, but for the princes of all walks of life, the name of benevolence is not as good as 10,000 elite soldiers. Cao Cao's capture of Xuzhou may be notorious among the people, but it is a kind of deterrent among the princes of all walks of life. A dignified declaration of Cao Cao's strength and determination.

And Xiaopei is where Liu Bei tunjun is, and it has long been deeply entrenched. Taking Xiaopei first is equivalent to cutting off Liu Bei's legs. Then down Pengcheng, Xuzhou will open the door. Take these two places, Xuzhou is at your fingertips.

Let's talk about Lu Yao, the king of Zhuya. Throughout the years of chaos in the world, this alien prince can be described as a great feather and famous all over the world. Back then, Yu Luoyang single-handedly shocked Dong Zhuo, so that he did not dare to act rashly, and defeated Dong Zhuo several times, making the world famous for the first time. followed the group of heroes to discuss Dong, and in the end, it was Lu Yao who punished Dong Zhuo, and directly picked peaches before the princes from all walks of life, and once again made a great name. followed the south to Jingzhou, and with his own strength, he sent Sun Jian, the Taishou of Changsha, to the throne of the overlord of Jiangdong, which was even more convincing.

If Cao Cao defeated King Zhuya head-on, his deterrent power would be self-evident. But all the princes who asked themselves about the king of Zhuya could not help but reconsider whether they should wade into troubled waters, and take advantage of the opportunity to stab Cao Cao while Cao Yuan was fighting.

Eliminate the hidden danger of the right flank, ensure that you can fully resist the southward movement of Yuan's army, and at the same time establish a prestige and prestige, killing two birds with one stone.

Cheng Yu thought about it for a while and readily agreed.

The result is the same, but the meaning behind it is different. Only relied on a sneak attack to win the alliance of Liu Bei and King Zhu Ya, and the deterrent power was not big enough.

The rest of the civil and military exchanged words for a while, and Guo Jia's proposal was quickly passed. Cao Cao was quiet on the surface, but he was not calm inside.

Finally it came to this.

Cao Cao had a good impression of Lu Yaoji. Not to mention the great gift of offering the emperor at the beginning, Lu Yao's spirit also impressed him. At least he asked himself if he couldn't support one powerful opponent after another.

But he won't regret it either.

Wang Tu hegemony is destined to be lonely. Only one person can succeed. Everyone else is a stepping stone to success. His heart gradually became hot, and the desire to fight Xuzhou with Lu Yao became stronger and stronger.

This battle is not only about the next Cao Yuan battle, but also about the superiority between him and Lu Yao.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao suddenly picked up a brush and wrote down a letter, sealed it with fire paint on the spot, and then ordered: "Send it to the king of Zhuya in Xuzhou, and I want to hunt Xiaopei with the prince." ”

Guo Jia and other civil and military officials were suddenly in high spirits.

This is domineering enough. Let's not engage in fiction, but the reality is virtual, that is, to set a location just face-to-face, and what we fight for is hard power.

"The last general is willing to go to Xuzhou with a letter to meet the prince." Xiahoudun asked for his life.

"The Last General ......"

The rest of Xiahou Yuan and other generals enthusiastically asked. The fighting spirit is high, overflowing with words.

Cao Cao saw that the generals enthusiastically invited Ying to go to Xuzhou to deliver the letter, and he was immediately relieved. This is the glorious teacher. He has a feeling that the heroes of the world are all in my place.

"Yuan Rang, Zilian, order the two of you to lead five hundred people to send the letter to Xuzhou immediately."

"The last will be ordered."
