Yingchuan, Xudu.

Because he was worried that he would not be able to control the situation in Luoyang, he allowed Yuan Shao to take advantage of the situation.

Cao Cao persuaded Liu Xie to move the capital to Xudu on the grounds that Luoyang had been abandoned for too long, was difficult to repair, and had difficulties in transporting grain.

Xudu is surrounded by mountains on three sides, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.

In addition, Yingchuan, Chenliu and Yanzhou were all actually controlled by Cao Cao.

Moving the capital to Xudu prevented Cao Cao from worrying that one day, Yuan Shao would suddenly come to Luoyang to greet the emperor.

Cao Cao knew his childhood friend very well.

Although Yuan Shao may not be able to react for a while, there are benefits to serving the emperor and refusing to obey.

But over time.

Yuan Shao will definitely understand the profound meaning.

If Yuan Shao wants to welcome the emperor, based on the current strength comparison between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, Cao Cao will never be able to retain Liu Xie!

And now.

Liu Xie has moved his capital to Xudu.

Xudu’s city walls, palaces, money, food and people’s goods are all in good condition.

Liu Xie was first coerced by Dong Zhuo, and then by Li Jue and Guo Si.

Now when I arrived in Xudu, I saw that Cao Cao respected me very much. He gradually felt at ease in Xudu and told the world in Xudu! same���

Liu Xie conferred the title of General Cao Cao and Marquis of Wu Ping, and Xun Yu was appointed Minister of the Imperial Palace and Minister of Secretariat.

Xun You was the military advisor, and Guo Jia was the commander of the army.

Liu Ye was Cao Tie of Sikongcang, Mao Jie and Ren Jun were generals of Dian Nong Zhonglang.

Cheng Yu was the prime minister of Dongping, Fan Cheng and Dong Zhao were the magistrates of Luoyang, and Man Chong was the magistrate of Xu Du.

Xiahou Dun, Xia Houyuan, Cao Ren and Cao Hong are generals, Lu Qian, Li Dian, Yue Jin and Xu Huang are school captains, Xu Chu and Dian Wei are captains. The remaining officers and soldiers will be rewarded based on their merits.

Cao Cao enjoyed the benefits of welcoming the emperor. Although he only had Yingchuan, Chenliu and Yanzhou, and his actual control was not as good as that of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, this general alone was enough to defeat Yuan Shao’s Jizhou governor and Yuan Shu’s Nanyang in name. Prefect.

General’s Mansion.

Cao Cao hugged a lady from an unknown family, drinking wine and composing poems. suddenly.

Guo Jia arrives

“My Lord, a letter from Yuan Shu.”

Guo Jia is now Sima Jijiu. He is mainly responsible for counselor military affairs, as well as in charge of the school affairs office, and collecting intelligence from various places.

Cao Cao pushed the woman in his arms away, took the letter, and his eyes suddenly changed.

“Xu Xiao actually took Shouchun?”

“Xu Xiao took over as the governor of Xuzhou without authorization, and now he is going to attack Yangzhou. His ambition is not small!”

“Feng Xiao, I will immediately report my feelings to your majesty and prepare an edict to remove Xu Xiao’s governor of Xuzhou and order all counties to attack the traitor Xu Xiao!”

You are disobeying the emperor’s orders.

Naturally, Cao Cao can seal him as much as he wants and punish him as he wants!

Cao Cao is already planning in his mind.

After removing Xu Xiao as the governor of Xuzhou, he will then conquer Xu Xiao with righteousness and kill Tao Qian!

Cao Cao has not forgotten the revenge of killing his father.

Now that Tao Qian has given up the position of governor of Xuzhou, he is living well in Pengcheng. This makes Cao Cao unbearable!

“Lord, I’m afraid this won’t work!”Guo Jia shook his head.

Cao Cao said firmly:”Why not? Even though His Majesty had previously agreed to Tao Qian’s proposal to surrender Xuzhou, Xu Xiao was only the governor of Xuzhou and was not qualified to attack Yangzhou!

Guo Jia said in a solemn tone:”Lord!” Xu Xiao attacked Yangzhou in the name of the people of Yangzhou who wrote in tears!

Cao Cao’s expression became strange:”Sobbing blood and writing a letter?” Xu Xiao could actually think of such a method?”

Cao Cao himself is an expert in correcting imperial edicts.

Xu Xiao’s weeping blood letter is exactly the same as correcting the imperial edict.

What?

You said this weeping blood letter is fake?

It’s okay.

Now that Jiujiang has been pacified, the people of Jiujiang County thank Xu Xiao and make up for it. Is it difficult to write a letter in tears?

No difficulty!

If Shouchun cannot be defeated, the authenticity of this letter in tears is not important.

After Shouchun is defeated, the letter in tears becomes true!

Guo Jia said in a condensing voice:” My lord, the letter from Yuan Shu just wants my lord to contain Xu Xiao so that he can attack Yangzhou with all his strength. Now Yuan Shu has two major counties, Nanyang and Runan. If he takes Yangzhou, he will definitely go north.”

“By then, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu will be in the south and north. Even if the Lord has the emperor in his hands, he will not be Yuan Shu or Yuan Shao’s opponent.

Cao Cao hesitated and said:”Fengxiao means to refuse Yuan Shu’s cooperation?”

Guo Jia shook his head:”No!” What I mean is that the method of drafting an edict and issuing an imperial edict is not enough, but Xuzhou must be conquered, otherwise it will be difficult for the lord to compete with Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao! Cao

Cao hesitated:”If I don’t prepare an edict, I’m afraid my army will be unknown. Now that His Majesty is in Xudu, Tao Qian is no longer the governor of Xuzhou. It is no longer feasible to raise troops to avenge his father!””

The advantage of welcoming Liu Xie is that he refuses to obey the emperor’s orders; but the disadvantage is also obvious. Cao Cao cannot raise troops without a reason, otherwise it will be no different from rebelling. If he wants to raise troops,

Cao Cao must have a positive reason!

Guo Jia said with a smile :”Lord! Just block it randomly!

Cao Cao was stunned:”A random seal?” What’s the meaning? Guo

Jia smiled confidently:”Lü Bu is now in Xiaopei, attached to Xu Xiao. Your Majesty, in gratitude for Lü Bu’s kindness in killing Dong Zhuo, made Lü Bu the governor of Xuzhou. Is it reasonable?” Xu Xiao is a young hero. His Majesty is determined to make great achievements and strive to rejuvenate the Han Dynasty. He needs talents like Xu Xiao. Let Xu Xiao come to Luoyang and be granted the title of Taiwei, ranking among the three nobles!”

“If Lu Bu and Xu Xiao obey their orders, just one Lu Bu can be captured in one fight!”

“If Lu Bu and Xu Xiao disobey orders, they will be traitors to the party. The lord can invite Yuan Shao to plan for Xuzhou together!”

“In this way, not only was Yuan Shu’s cooperation promised, the lord also had the name to conquer Xuzhou!”

“the most important is!”

Guo Jia’s tone became stern.

“We must let the heroes of this world know that the lord is now a general, the emperor’s most trusted general!”

“If you are dissatisfied”

“Then follow the emperor’s order to conquer the four dissatisfied! Cao Cao laughed loudly:”

Fengxiao is right!” The method of issuing imperial edicts to punish crimes is indeed difficult to achieve. Instead, the people of Xuzhou will think that Cao Cao is deliberately suppressing and retaliating; but if Xu Xiao is allowed to come to Xudu to serve as a Taiwei, one of the three princes, this is the emperor’s kindness. Got it!”

“If Xu Xiao agrees, in Xudu, even if it is a dragon, I have to be the one holding it, and even if it is the tiger, I have to be the one squatting!”

“But if you don’t agree, then I have a reason to conquer Xu Xiao!”

“As expected of my filial piety, I will report my feelings immediately. I will report to Your Majesty tomorrow and confer Xu Xiao as the Imperial Lieutenant of the Dynasty! Haha”
