Three Kingdoms: I, the Emperor of Wei, am loyal and pure!

Southwest of Yuzhou, Yingchuan County, Wuyang.

Cao Cao's central army tent.

The Thousand Mile Falcon swooped down from the sky and landed under the large banner with the word Cao in front of the main tent.

Dian Wei, who was familiar with Qianli Falcon, immediately stepped forward and took the letter from his lap.

"Is there a letter from Zixiu?

Bring it up quickly!"

Seeing Dian Wei entering the tent with the mailbox, Cao Cao immediately became energetic. He hurriedly took the mailbox, removed the sealing wax on it, and opened the letter.

In the tent, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Xun You and others also Regardless of the formality, they all stretched out their necks and gathered around.

In fact, the last time Cao Cao received Cao Ang's letter, he just danced with joy and did not tell Guo Jia and the others the content of the letter for a long time. Everyone was scratching their heads and scratching their heads anxiously. , leaving a psychological shadow.

Therefore, as soon as Cao Cao received Cao Ang's letter this time, Guo Jia and others gathered around to watch it together.

After all, it had been more than a month since Cao Ang sent troops.

They were also very Looking forward to what happened on the Xuzhou battlefield in the east.

"Hahaha!

Zixiu really succeeded!

Not only did they capture Lu Bu alive, but they also surrendered several troops, totaling 200,000 men, with almost no bloodshed!

My son is really imaginative and can use his troops like a god. This time, his troops are even more than the main force of our army.……"

Cao Cao quickly read the letter and saw the news of Cao Ang's victory. He was overjoyed and his jaw almost broke with laughter.

At this time, several days had actually passed since Cao Ang captured Lu Bu alive.

But Cao Ang was a rigorous man, and he did not send the Qianli Falcon to report the victory to Cao Cao until all the counties and counties in Xuzhou were recruited and completely under control.

Guo Jia and others also finished reading the letter. Everyone could not help but breathe a sigh of relief on their faces, and laughed heartily:"Master Zixiu is really like a dragon, like a phoenix, like thunder and lightning!

Back then in Xu After he proposed that five thousand soldiers and horses could defeat Lu Bu, I thought that the young master took the risk out of helplessness.

After hearing the plan of the young master"zero zero zero", I admired it quite a bit.

But this strategy If you want to actually implement it, it will be a bit difficult.

I thought you would need more time to complete it, but you didn’t expect the good news to come out so quickly!"

"Yes, first they stationed troops in Xiaopei and pretended to train troops, in order to dispel the wariness of the princes.

Then he angered Lu Bu and defeated him for a while, so that reinforcements did not arrive. Don't dare to attack.

Then he led his light cavalry to attack Lanling all night long. Like divine soldiers descending from heaven, he defeated Zang Ba and more than 100,000 people on Mount Tai, killed Chang Xi, and surrendered to Zang Ba.

Then he led Zang Ba to surrender his troops and unexpectedly raided Pengcheng, separating Lu Bu and Zhang Xun from the Huainan army.

The leaderless Huainan army was forced to surrender due to the general situation, leaving Lu Bu trapped in the city alone, and was eventually kidnapped by his generals to surrender.……"

"Humph, that Lu Bu thought he was a tiger in the Nine Plains, but he was just a reckless man with no courage.

Surrounded by the prince from ten sides, he didn't even know how to show sympathy to his generals, so he forced Song Xian and Wei Xuhou Cheng to rebel.

Otherwise, even if some of Lu Bu's subordinates want to surrender, it will take more time.

Rather than someone offering the city to surrender that night……"

"Haha, doesn’t this mean that the young master is as wise as the sea, has as many soldiers as the clouds, and is blessed with luck, as if he has divine help?

Although Young Master's strategy is very feasible, the first few steps are also somewhat dangerous.

If it hadn't been for the brave young master, if it had been someone else, I'm afraid it might not have been possible!"

Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Xun You and others all smiled happily and praised Cao Ang, while also mocking Lu Bu. Jia Xu on the side, although not as happy as Guo Jia and others, was also With a smile on his face, there was some admiration in his eyes.

Dian Wei and other confidants in his tent, who knew something or not at the beginning, were all shocked and surprised at the moment. They kept praising Cao Ang and congratulating Cao Cao.

Even Dian Wei even shouted The strange words such as Gongzi Niubi that others could not understand were obviously taught by Cao Ang before...

In the big tent, Cao Cao and the civil and military officials in the tent all celebrated ecstatically, and Cao Cao said with a red face:" Although the 200,000 soldiers and horses that Zixiu has in Pengcheng are a bit mixed, my son has that miraculous method of training troops. In a short time, he will be able to train two soldiers capable of fighting.

Including the main force of our army, now my father and son will have an army of 350,000!

Looking at the world, except Yuan Shao, who among the princes can compete?"

At this point, Cao Cao crossed his waist and suddenly felt stronger. He looked to the north and said,"Even if it's Yuan Shao, I won't take him seriously!"

Cao Cao's words were naturally echoed by Guo Jia and others.

At the beginning, Cao Cao's power was far inferior to Yuan Shao, and Guo Jia and others even proposed the theory of eleven wins and eleven defeats.

What's more, now Cao Ang has defeated Zang Ba, Lu Bu, Zhang Xun, each family surrendered more than 200,000 troops, making Cao Cao and his son the best among the princes, even second to Yuan Shao! Even sitting in the prosperous land of Jingxiang, there are 280,000 land and water troops. Even Liu Biao cannot compare with Cao Cao!

Thinking of Liu Biao, Cao Cao couldn't help but regretted:"It's a pity that Zixiu's army of 200,000 is far away in Xuzhou, thousands of miles away from here.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he reorganized his army and went south to capture Yuan Shu in Shouchun, lest Sun Ce from Jiangdong could take advantage of the situation and capture Yuan Shu first.

Otherwise, if Zixiu leads a group of elite troops or separates his troops, they can join forces with me.

Then Liu Biao's 180,000 troops would never return to Jingzhou!"

Besides, although Guo Jia and others were also a little regretful, they still said:"My lord, there is no need to sigh. This time the young master captured Lu Bu and Zhang Xun alive, took over Zang Ba, captured Xuzhou, and completely crippled Yuan Shu.

Then Yuan Shu's land in Huainan and Runan will also belong to the lord and his son.

When the prince destroys Yuan Shu, the lord and the prince will occupy the four states of Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Xuzhou and Yangzhou.

You can directly march into Guanzhong, chase horses, conquer Han Sui, etc. At that time, the land south of the Yellow River and north of the Yangtze River and the five states with a radius of 5,000 miles will be owned by your father-in-law and his son.

Even Yuan Shao can't match it.

At that time, whether it is to attack Yuan Shao from the north or Liu Biao from the south, we will do whatever we want and push it with the general trend!

It's just a little later."

Guo Jia's words made Cao Cao nod his head, his eyes full of expectations and ambitions.

As for the slight regret, it disappeared with the wind.

Although now Cao Cao can also use the existing 110,000 troops, Launching an attack on Liu Biao, but Liu Biao has 180,000 soldiers, Cao Cao may not be able to win surely.

If both sides suffer in a stalemate, or if they pay a high price to defeat Liu Biao, then the gains outweigh the losses.

After all, Cao Ang's 200,000 troops have not yet been organized. After the training is completed, once Cao Cao's main force is lost here, those surrendering troops and generals may have other thoughts. And even if Cao Ang can suppress those surrendering troops and generals, those troops and horses are too mixed and uneven, and they are not even visible. It will take some time to reorganize.

If Yuan Shao suddenly sends troops from Jizhou at this time, the good situation that Cao Ang finally opened will be in crisis again.

Therefore, Cao Cao's 110,000 troops will not be easily moved.

If Cao Ang is allowed to send troops from Xuzhou It's not impossible to divide an army and horses to help, but the two places are thousands of miles apart. By the time Cao Ang's reinforcements arrive, Liu Biao, Yuan Shao and others may have already received the news. After all, Cao

Ang defeated Lu Bu and conquered Xuzhou, such a big news It is impossible to hide it from the world.

Therefore, for now, we can only let Liu Biao go, let Cao Ang organize his troops, and kill Huainan Yuan Shu before Yuan Shao and Liu Biao can react.

All Cao Cao can do now is not to give him Cao Ang was holding back.

Of course, in addition to not holding back, there was also a commendation for the good man's great contribution.

So Cao Cao immediately wrote a memorial in the tent to show Cao Ang's achievements in fighting against the rebellion.

The formation killed Chang Xi and captured and surrendered Zang. There were more than 100,000 bandits in Mount Tai, and they surrendered Huainan soldiers and horses under the rebel Yuan Shu and Lu Bu's soldiers and horses, totaling 100,000. They captured alive the rebel Lu Bu and the puppet general Zhang Xun under Yuan Shu, and regained Xuzhou for the imperial court....

These achievements, Cao Cao only wrote them based on the facts, can already be regarded as great achievements.

Not to mention the importance of Lu Bu, Zang Ba and other princes, the fact of capturing Zhang Xun alive is even more than the achievement of defeating Lu Bu. Even bigger.

Although Zhang Xun is not a peerless general, he is the general of Yuan Shu's puppet dynasty. In terms of title, he is much bigger than Lu Bu, a prince who is not even the Mu of Xuzhou. In other words, the Han Dynasty does not recognize Yuan Shu's Zhong family. It's nothing more than a puppet dynasty, otherwise it would be the result of the destruction of the country!

Of course, although Cao Cao was writing a memorial and sending it to Xudu, asking the emperor to reward him for his merits, in the end, it was not Cao Cao and his son who actually wanted to give Cao Ang any kind of reward. What does it mean?

Cao Cao was just doing it as a matter of routine, so that the emperor would stamp the seal of the emperor on his merits and reward him. After writing in a hurry, Cao Cao threw away the pen and immediately ordered his horse to ride to Xudu. ( To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

He wanted the eldest son Cao Ang to receive the title and honor he deserved for his achievements before he conquered Yuan Shu.

Otherwise, Cao Cao was afraid that he would be too slow. Well, let's kill Yuan Shu first. By then, the memorial table he just wrote will be out of date.

Because at that time, Cao Ang will have to continue to seal it.

Seeing the fast horse passing by and riding away, Cao Cao's face With a proud smile on his face, he said to Guo Jia and other civil servants in the tent:"Oh, sometimes I feel a little uncomfortable thinking about it.

When the memorial arrives in Xudu, Zixiu's rank may be higher than mine."

Although he said this, there was no displeasure on Cao Cao's face. Instead, he smiled happily.

For Cao Cao now, nothing makes him feel more happy than showing off his grown-up body.

Guo Jiamian With a smile:"The merit of the young master is also the merit of the lord.

If the prince's title is increased, the lord's title can also be raised.

What's more, the Han Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety, and fathers and sons shared the same dynasty. However, due to the order of filial piety, the son could not be ranked higher than the father.

Therefore, even if a son is rewarded for meritorious service, he will still praise his father and elevate him to a noble title to fulfill his filial piety.

Now the young master's achievements are very great. If the master does not rise to a higher level, I am afraid that the world will criticize the young master for being unfilial."

Speaking of this, Guo Jia glanced in the direction of Jizhou and said meaningfully:"What's more, the Lord has a son like a dragon, a phoenix, and a unicorn. He defeated Lu Bu and Yuan Shu in one battle and surrendered an army of 200,000. It is no longer needed. It's time to be afraid of Yuan Shao."

Guo Jia's words immediately woke up Cao Cao, and Cao Cao's eyes lit up:"Feng Xiao is right!"

This has to mention the previous grievances between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.

Last year, after Cao Cao welcomed the emperor into Xudu and obtained the power to serve the emperor and disobey his ministers, he became confused for a time..........

So in the name of the emperor, he made himself a general and performed the duties of a general.

And Yuan Shao was given the title of Taiwei, the leader of the three princes. Now, Yuan Shao was regarded as the third prince of the fifth generation.

Unexpectedly, Cao Cao's move aroused Yuan Shao's dissatisfaction.

In the Han Dynasty, the general was a highly respected official, ranking above the three princes and second only to the emperor.[]

Even most of the time in the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was not the emperor who decided the affairs of the world, but the generals who held military and political power.

Even with such a distinguished family background as Yuan Shao, he was only the fourth generation of three princes, not the fourth generation of generals, which shows his noble status.

Now the world is in chaos, and the princes have risen together.

Yuan Shao occupies the land of four states and can be regarded as the best among the princes, but he only acts in the name of Jizhou Mu.

When I was the leader of the Eighteenth Route Princes Alliance, I only gave myself the title of Chariot and Cavalry General.

However, Cao Cao took the emperor to Xudu and suddenly became a general. However, he made Yuan Shao a lieutenant under the general, and suddenly he rode on Yuan Shao's head.

How could this make Yuan Shao not angry?

After all, Cao Cao has been Yuan Shao's younger brother and follower since he was a child, and he is always under Yuan Shao.

When his former younger brother rode on top of him, Yuan Shao naturally refused to agree and refused the title of Taiwei. He asked Chen to send troops to the Yellow River and suppress Xudu.

Cao Cao immediately stopped feeling restless and was almost frightened by Yuan Shao to the point where he had a recurrence of his headache.

After all, Cao Cao couldn't even kill Lu Bu at that time, and he was almost defeated by Lu Bu. How could he compete with Yuan Shao?

In fear, Cao Cao resigned from the title of general and gave the title of general to Yuan Shao in the name of the emperor.

This calmed Yuan Shao's anger.

Cao Cao could only name himself Sikong, one of the three princes, and he felt that it was too arrogant before. Instead of naming himself Taiwei and Situ as the first of the three princes, he named Sikong at the bottom.

At the same time, in order to be able to legitimately control the army, a riding general was added.

Not long ago, in order to give Cao Ang a name to train troops in Xudu and conquer Lu Bu, Cao Cao gave Haodaer the title of General of Chariots and Cavalry.

At this time, Cao Cao only had the name Sikong left.

But now, Cao Cao wants to give Cao Ang a title. Even according to the Han system, Cao Cao has to give his own title.

The position of Sikong is no longer applicable.

Even the position of Three Dukes is no longer an option.

If Cao Cao was weak before, he might have been able to endure it and suppress it.

But now Cao Ang, Cao Cao's son of Qilin, has directly made such a great achievement, making Cao Cao gain weight twice, and he no longer needs to take care of Yuan Shao!

So, Cao Cao thought about it for a while, and then he signaled Guo Jia, Xun You and others to write a letter to Xu Du to the Chancellor, asking Xun Yu to tell the emperor to lead the officials to recommend Cao Cao as the general!

In this way, Cao Cao has the title of general, and he has the military and political power, which is justifiable.

As for Yuan Shao being unhappy?

Let him be!

I, Cao Mengde, currently command an army of more than 300,000 men, and my son is among the most powerful cultivators. I am about to kill your brother Yuan Shu. Are you afraid that you, Yuan Shao, will not succeed?

At this moment, Cao Cao felt extremely happy and completely elated.

Of course, Cao Cao knew it very well.

The reason why he was able to tremble like this was because his eldest son, Cao Ang, supported his father...

However, 0.0, Cao Cao was not embarrassed at all.

Others are just chewing on the old, because the son is not as good as the father, so he can only chew on the old..

For example, the names of the fourth and third princes of Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, etc. are all based on the shadow of their ancestors!

But I, Cao Cao, am different, I am eating small things!

My son's talents are ten times and a hundred times that of mine. I relied on my son's excellence to become a general. I am proud!

Just when Cao Cao was elated in Wuyang, he was so happy that he flew into the air.

Huainan, Shouchun.

His Majesty Zhong, Yuan Shu, sat slumped on the dragon chair, his eyes dull, like a skeleton with only skin and flesh left...

Yuan Shu's tomb was said to be filled with dead bones, and it was well-deserved.

Above the main hall, thousands of horses were silent, and there was silence.

Even Yan Xiang, the most upright person in the past, looked solemn and silent.

Yuan Shu, on the other hand, slumped on the dragon chair and looked up at the roof of the hall. Bitter tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, across his skinny cheeks, and flowed into the corners of Yuan Shu's mouth.

However, at this moment, Yuan Shu couldn't feel the bitterness of tears, like a walking corpse, because he felt even more bitter in his heart.

Shouchun is not far from Pengcheng, only five hundred miles.

It is even only more than 200 miles away from the southernmost border of Pengcheng Kingdom.

After Cao Ang defeated Lu Bu and Zhang Xun, the news about recruiting and pacifying the people in various counties and counties in Xuzhou was deliberately blocked.

But it didn't take more than five days before it reached Yuan Shu's Shouchun Hall.

After learning that Lu Bu and Zhang Xun had been captured, and that his 80,000-strong army had almost surrendered without a fight, and that Cao Ang had obtained the news, Yuan Shu felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

Even the energy to curse and get angry was gone.

When people are extremely angry, some people burst into rage, but there are also people who are so silent that they are unable to do anything.

This is the situation for Yuan Shu at this time.

Yuan Shu, who had always been the most narrow-minded and talked a lot of nonsense, was so silent at this moment that he collapsed, which shows the despair in his heart.

It was not until a long time later that the silence of the hall was suddenly broken by a voice……
