Chapter 98 Cao Cao: The Son of Heaven wants to move the capital?
At this time, Xuzhou, Xiapi City, Cao Cao's army camp.
Cao Cao looked at his troops for the sixth siege of the city with a serious face, but was repelled by Lu Bu himself, but his heart was filled with the ancient well.
In fact, the morale of the army was not shaken by being repelled this time. They were all veterans, so they naturally knew that the battle was cruel. Lu Bu retreated here since Pengcheng defeated three battles and three times. He was already trapped beasts and had no choice but to retreat. He naturally tried his best, so this battle would naturally be difficult to fight.
Besides, the more difficult and difficult the benefits will be, the greater the benefits. Cao Gong has ordered him to rob him for three days after breaking the city. Xia Pi is a big city, with many wealthy families inside. It will take three days to rob them for several years.
Seeing that the morale of the army was available, Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief.
This battle is true that Lu Bu’s life-death battle, but isn’t it also Cao Cao’s life-death battle?
Only by winning a great victory, only by rejecting Xuzhou and returning to the court with the great victory can we have the strength to continue to compete with the emperor.
Taking a step back, if Xia Pi cannot take it, he will have to arrange heavy troops in Pengcheng and continue to suppress Lu Bu. Otherwise, his victory will be in vain, but in this way, he will naturally have fewer troops and horses that he can bring back Xu Du this time.
Without soldiers, Cao Cao was just a piece of meat on a chopping board in front of the emperor!
So this time he must take down Xia Pi. Not only will he completely eliminate Lu Bu's old enemy, but he will also take down the entire Xuzhou in one fell swoop, collect the troops, horses, money and grain from Xuzhou, as well as Lu Bu's old subordinates to strengthen himself and fight against the emperor to protect himself!
"Tao Fu, oh no, Grand Sima, you've been tired for a day, so take a break sooner."
"It's Yuanlong."
As soon as he looked, the person was Chen Deng, the talent he recruited this time, Cao Cao immediately squeezed a kind smile on his face.
"Whether Situ, Taifu, or Grand Sima are the same for me. Come and sit down and drink a bowl of ginger water. It's cold, don't suffer from the wind and cold. Is there any news in Wenyuan?"
"It's still the same. I didn't want to come to Xia Pi in Lu. But I brought back a letter from Wenyuan."
"oh?"
Cao Cao was overjoyed and quickly opened the letter, but after looking at it for a while, he put it down in a loss.
"It's all polite words, no substantive content."
Chen Deng nodded and said, "Lu Bu and Wen Yuan were both from Bingzhou after all, and he is nominally dependent on Lu Bu now. If he really wants him to join forces with Ming Gong to attack the city, it will be a embarrassment. In my opinion, he will lead his army to surrender on the day the city of Xia Pi is destroyed."
Cao Cao nodded when he heard this. In fact, he also understood that generals like Zhang Liao and Zang Ba who have certain strength and independence would only choose to protect themselves and watch from the wall. Whoever wins and helps will be more in line with their interests.
It’s just that he has an old age with Zhang Liao after all, so he has a few unrealistic expectations in his heart.
If the rear was stable, Cao Cao would not pay any attention to Zhang Liao at all. When he took Lu Bu, Zhang Liao would definitely have made a statement. If he defeated Xia Pi, he would have confidence.
But now the emperor has even killed Cao Hong, which has forced him to feel a sense of crisis. He is eager to strengthen his power, and he has no patience to waste time with Lu Bu in the city of Xiapi.
He is anxious!
At this moment, Guo Jia came in in panic. Seeing Chen Deng here, he immediately stopped talking.
Seeing this, Chen Deng said goodbye and left with tactfully.
"Fengxiao, what's wrong? Why are you so panicked?"
"No, lord, Your Majesty is going to move the capital!"
"What? The emperor wants to move the capital? What's going on!"
Cao Cao was really anxious when he heard that he heard that Cao Hong was not so excited when he heard that he died.
"This is an urgent report from Xu Du from the rear."
Cao Cao quickly took it over and looked at it. As soon as he saw it, he angrily threw the table: "This Liu Biao is such a waste! He couldn't even stop the emperor for three days, and even asked the emperor to incorporate more than 10,000 Nanyang soldiers? Li Tong was also incorporated by him?"
Didn’t you fight me with Zhang Xiu before?
Although he also had a great victory, he not only won three battles in Pengcheng, but also besieged Lu Bu in Xiapi City. As soon as the city was broken, Lu Bu would have no other place to leave.
To be honest, he thought he was fighting well, and the battle in Pengcheng was really beautiful, and even he felt that he was performing extraordinaryly.
But comparing with the emperor's incredible record, it's totally shit!
As he said that, Cao Cao's hands were shaking.
Is there really such a person in the world who is born to know? The emperor is less than 20 years old this year! Not only is he so overwhelmed by strategy, but even this military strategy is so strong?
"Master, please continue to look down."
Yes, the emperor is still moving the capital.
Cao Cao's eyes were all black, and he took a deep breath before he picked up the letter and continued reading.
Nanyang... military farming?
He also wants to transfer Yang Biao to Nanyang?
The Yulin Army also let him station on the spot?
No problem, this must be moved to the capital. You can't deliberately disband the military power and have the intention to be a puppet for yourself, right?
You should know that the Qingzhou soldiers in Cao Cao's hands were all in the military farming camp, so the base camp was settled and could only be near Xudu. Once the capital was moved, even if he could still barely control these troops, it was difficult to save the nearby fire from afar. At most, he could only bring some personal guards and a small number of professional soldiers to Wancheng.
That's really at slaughter.
Of course, he could also choose not to follow Nanyang. From then on, the emperor stayed in Wancheng and he himself stayed in Xu County. The court would move if he wanted to move. From then on, he was peaceful and peaceful to an ordinary prince who was closer to the court and had a relatively high political status. He only needed to add the title of Yuzhou Governor. From then on, everyone will be peaceful and peaceful.
But if he does this, he will do nothing to welcome the emperor in the past two years.
Moreover, being neighbors with such a strong emperor is definitely not a good thing. All the talents in his hands must have been attracted by him.
Should I follow Nanyang or let him go? Or...
"Summon, Gongda, come in and discuss matters together."
"What? Lord, how can Xun You still believe it?"
Cao Cao shook his head when he heard this and said firmly: "Summon!"
"Oh~" Guo Jia sighed, and called someone a little unhappy.
After a while, Xun You entered, first bowed respectfully to Cao Cao, and said, "Ming Gong."
Chapter completed!
