Three Kingdoms: Snow Dragon Riding At The Start, Build the Great Qin

Chapter 47 The emperor's edict, Cao Cao's calculations

Taishi Dong's expression changed.

He is used to having fun in Chang'an.

Let him go?

Are you kidding me?

As for sending out soldiers and horses under his command, that is absolutely impossible.

If he sent troops out, the number of troops stationed in Chang'an would be reduced.

When the time comes, people like Yuan Shao and Cao Cao will lead their troops into Chang'an again. What will he do to resist?

If you lose Chang'an, doesn't everything stop?

Dong Zhuo snorted coldly.

"Yuan Shu, such a conspirator, everyone gets it and punishes him!"

"In the opinion of this Taishi, your majesty might as well issue an edict and summon the world's heroes to discuss Yuan Shu together."

"I wonder what your Majesty thinks?"

Dong Zhuo put his hand on the long sword at his waist, staring at Liu Xie.

Liu Xie nodded.

"Master Dong is right."

"This is how I drafted an edict, so that the world's heroes will discuss Yuan Shu together."

"If anyone can punish Yuan Shu, I will surely reward it all!"

"It's so good."

Dong Zhuo laughed.

"Another edict to Qin Lie, Hou Wancheng, urging him to crusade against Yuan Shu."

"The crusade against Yuan Shu has to go through Henan Yin, so he promised to take the position of Henan Yin."

...

Yanzhou, Changyi city.

In the State Shepherd House.

Cao Cao took off his armor and let out a long breath.

He sat down on the main seat.

Xiahou Dun sat opposite Cao Cao, buzzing.

"Lord, it was a great fight today!"

Cao Cao took a sip of tea before he soothed his beard.

"In this campaign, we finally reversed the decline towards the Yellow Turban thief in Qingzhou."

"The future can be expected!"

Xun Yu hurried in.

"Master, something big has happened in Wancheng."

"Oh?"

Cao Cao filled him with a bowl of tea on his own, and said with a chuckle.

"Then what did Yuan Gonglu make?"

"A few days ago, Yuan Gonglu became the emperor in Wancheng..."

puff!

Before Xun Yu's words were finished, Cao Cao drank half of his tea, and then all of it came out.

"What are you talking about, Yuan Gonglu has become the emperor?"

His tea happened to be sprayed across the face of Xiahou Dun.

Xiahou Dun wiped the tea from his face, and cast a grimace at Cao Cao.

Cao Cao looked embarrassed.

He looked at Xun Yudao.

"Wen Ruo, what's the matter?"

"Yuan Gonglu declared himself the emperor in Wancheng and established Chengguo, the reign of Zhongjia."

"Just received the imperial edict, let us send troops to crusade against Yuan Gonglu."

Listening to Xun Yu's words, Cao Cao's brows deepened.

Xi Zhi just handed his hands.

"Lord, this is the critical period for us to put down the Yellow Turban thief in Qingzhou."

"If you send troops to fight against Yuan Shu at this time, then all the previous efforts will be wiped out."

"If the Qingzhou Yellow Turban thieves take the opportunity to counterattack, if you can't say it, Yanzhou will gain and lose again."

Xun Yu smiled bitterly.

"But the edict is here."

"If we refuse to send troops, I'm afraid it will be difficult to stop everyone's mouth."

Cao Cao frowned, pacing back and forth with his hands on his back.

"It's not very convenient to send troops now."

"The Qingzhou Yellow Turban thief is as big as a million."

"If the Qingzhou Yellow Turban thief makes a comeback, I'm afraid I won't have a place to stand."

Suddenly, he stopped.

"Yes!"

"Although we don't send troops, we can contribute profit."

Xun Yu and others are all curious.

Cao Cao said with a chuckle.

"I can promise that if anyone can quell Yuan Shu's rebellion, I Cao Cao would like to offer 50,000 grains, no, 100,000 stones."

Xiahou Dun buzzed.

"Lord, do you really want to offer one hundred thousand stones of grain?"

He spread it out and smiled bitterly.

"Nowadays, how can we have so much food?"

Everyone looked at Cao Cao.

I want to hear how Cao Cao said.

Cao Cao waved his hand indifferently.

"Yuan Shu seemed reckless, but at this time, he picked it up very well."

"At this time, I was busy putting down the Qingzhou Yellow Turban thief and couldn't make a move."

"Jizhou Yuan Shao and Youzhou Gongsun Zan are on the Chen Bingjie Bridge, and they will not send troops."

Xiahou Dun scratched his head, puzzled.

"Then Tao Qian occupies Xuzhou, he should be able to make a move."

"otherwise."

Cao Cao took a sip of tea and talked freely.

"Like Xuzhou Tao Gongzu but a mediocre person, let him attack Yuan Shu, he is definitely not happy in every way."

"It is Liu Biao who occupies the seven counties of Jingxiang, and he is also a guardian. If he is allowed to take the initiative to send troops, he will definitely not want to."

"In this way, although the condemnation of Yuan Shu is huge, in fact, very few people are really willing to send troops."

Xiahou Dun's face showed a sullen look.

"Doesn't that make Yuan Shuan become emperor steadily?"

"That's not true."

Cao Cao chuckled lightly.

"Yuan Rang, don't forget the Qin Lie who was just named Wanchenghou."

"The only one who can and is willing to make a move today is Qin Lie."

"Then our food, isn't it going to fall into the hands of Qin Lie?"

Xiahou Dun frowned.

"Our food is not easy to come."

Cao Cao struck his beard and laughed.

"Yuan Rang, you still think too simple."

"Qin Lie really occupies it, but what kind of elite soldiers can there be in a county in Hanoi?"

"Yuan Shu's strength is far above that of Cao Cao."

"Just the armored soldiers and horses, there are hundreds of thousands."

"If you count the Runan Yellow Turban Army, that force has already exceeded 300,000."

"With Qin Lie, how can we win with thousands of soldiers and horses?"

Xiahou Dun was completely confused.

With his head, he could no longer understand Cao Cao's thoughts.

"In that case, what is the point of your promise to give one hundred thousand catties of grain, Lord?"

Cao Cao stroked his beard lightly, smiling without saying a word.

An unpredictable look.

"This is where the lord is really powerful."

Xi Zhicai bowed to Cao Cao and saluted.

"The lord's intellect is so profound that Xi Zhong is ashamed of himself!"

His face is full of admiration.

Xiahou Dun almost scratched his head and didn't think of a reason.

He smiled bitterly.

"Don't play dumb riddles."

"Well, then I'll just talk about it."

Xi Zhicai smiled faintly.

"The reason why the lord promised to take out one hundred thousand catties of grain was to lure him into profit!"

"Only in this way, Qin Lie will do his best to defeat Yuan Shu."

"But the fourth generation of the Yuan family and the three grandfathers have a lot of family members, and there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses under Yuan Shu's armour."

"With such strength, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the first person besides Dong Zhuo. How can it be eliminated so easily?"

"As a result, Yuan Shu and Qin Lie will consume each other, and the losses will inevitably be severe."

"When we completely put down the Qingzhou Yellow Turban thief, we can just take advantage of the fisherman's profit!"

"At that time, we will reinvigorate our troops westward to Yuzhou and wipe out Yuan Shu and Qin Lie in one fell swoop. Naturally, we don't need to provide the 100,000 catties of food."

Cao Cao stroked his beard and nodded with a smile.

"What Zhicai said coincides with me!"

Xiahou Dun suddenly realized.

He repeatedly admired.

"The lord is really amazing."

"I can think of such a good way."

Xun Yu frowned.

"Lord, is this 100,000 catties too much food?"

"Only with a huge profit, can Qin Lie fight to the death."

"Furthermore, even if Qin Lie really wins, what about it?"

"I just won't give it. How can he stand me?"

As he said, Cao Cao smiled triumphantly. *
