Chapter 104

Although Yanzhou is also considered a place of wealth in the world, it is located in the Central Plains and is a place of four battles. Although there are no particularly powerful enemies around him, it also hinders Cao Cao's development! Yanzhou now has an army of 300,000, which has basically reached its limit! If you want to expand your strength, you must develop externally! Yanzhou is Qingzhou in the east, Xuzhou in the south, Yuzhou in the west, and Jizhou in the north! Except for Jizhou, there are only Tao Qian of Xuzhou in several other places. If it is to develop, it is very easy, but Cao Zhou's call for the attack on Dong Zhuo, although he has great prestige, he does not occupy much righteousness, and there is no suitable excuse for a while. He wants to march in these places! Now the princes in the world are expanding their strength, Cao Cao is naturally unwilling to accept it, and he can only watch others develop!

He had already made up his mind that if he really couldn't find any excuses, he could only tear his face and think about taking action in these places! Just when Cao Cao couldn't bear it, an excuse that could make him do it openly was delivered to him! It turned out that the remaining Yellow Turban Army, who had been wandering in the Huainan area, fought with Yuan Shu under the leadership of Bai Rao, but was defeated by Yuan Shu's general Ji Ling. In desperation, he at least escaped from the Sili area! He was joined with the coalition forces of the Yellow Turban Army Guo Tai's unit who had been wandering in the Sili area! But they were not able to do this round! Originally, this Sili area was in trouble!

The area is the most severely damaged area caused by Dong Zhuo's rebellion! When Dong Zhuo retreated from Luoyang, he took away millions of people from Sili! Although most of these people were intercepted by Liu Bin! But he eventually brought these people to Youzhou! The entire Sili area was deserted and crowded! Although the small court in Luoyang rebuilt the court on the ruins of Luoyang, the tragic situation in the Sili area made the small court able to catch the head! In desperation, they used the name of the court to relocate the people of the surrounding areas to the Sili area! Finally, they made some popularity for Luoyang!

But there is one thing that the term of office does not play a big role! The Sili area was destroyed too seriously, and the Luoyang court had no money or food. In order to survive, the people either wandered around or became bandits, so the entire Sili area was rampant! This situation was exploited by Guo Tai, who was born in the Yellow Turban Army, and he pulled up a team again and ran rampant in the Sili area! The Luoyang small court had no choice but to use some troops from Luoyang that had not yet run to other places. Under the leadership of the famous general Huangpu Hao, he formed a unit directly belonging to the Luoyang small court to fight against Guo Tai and the others! The Luoyang imperial court originally had a small number of troops, and it was at a disadvantage to confront Guo Tai. If it weren't for Huangpu Hao being a famous general in the world, he would have been unable to resist it.

Now Bai Rao ran from Huainan to Sili and Guo Taihui, and the power of the bandit army was even greater! The small court in Luoyang really couldn't resist it! It was impossible to ignore it. It had already been defeated at the door of the house. If there was no action yet, what was the majesty of the court? Do they need to mess with the ministers? Moreover, if this is further developed, if these bandits were killed, what would happen? But if they had to deal with it, they had to find a way to move their troops. So they had to ask for help from the surrounding princes! As for the same sentence, they should have asked for help from Liu Bin of Youzhou! After all, Liu Bin was also the minister of the regent of the late emperor.

A small court was also formed under his instructions. At the same time, Liu Bin is the largest force in the world and has strong strength. If he could help the Luoyang small court, then the Luoyang small court would definitely be able to escape danger! But Liu Bin is not in Youzhou now! He is sent to Liaodong to attack the rebel Gongsun Du! Since Liu Bin has no hope, he can only choose the nearby and powerful princes! There are indeed many powerful princes around Sili! However, Yuan Shao rebelled and attacked Liu Yu, and was busy fighting against Liu Yu! Dong Zhuo was a rebel and kidnapped the emperor, so there was no need to say! Yuan Shu in the south was ambitious and was fighting for Yangzhou, and he had no time to care about them!

The Luoyang court thought about it and thought of Cao Cao! Cao Cao occupied Yanzhou and had 300,000 troops, which was enough! Moreover, Cao Cao was still the call to attack Dong Zhuo. In the hearts of the Luoyang court, Cao Cao left them a very good impression, believing that Cao Cao was still caring about the Han Dynasty and was very loyal to the Han Dynasty! Let Cao Cao come to rescue him, maybe he could reverse the disadvantage that Luoyang court had always been! So they issued an order to Cao Cao in Yanzhou, asking Cao Cao to lead his army to Sili to rescue the court!

After receiving this order, Cao Cao was overjoyed! He was really sleepy, so someone came to give him a pillow! He was really worried that he had no excuses or reasons to attack the surroundings. Now the court gave him his order! So Cao Cao immediately began to recruit large troops and prepare to send troops to Luoyang! Although Sili was dilapidated, no matter what, he was the capital of the Han Dynasty, and his strategic location was very important. If he occupied the Sili area, his strength would be quickly

Add to this! Besides, if the Sili area was occupied by itself, how could Yuzhou between Sili and Yanzhou be able to escape? So Cao Cao immediately ordered 150,000 troops, with general Xiahou Dun as the vanguard, Cao Ren as the left army, Cao Hong as the right army, and Yu Jin as the rear army. He personally commanded the central army and rushed to Sili to kill. Cao Cao's hometown Yanzhou, Cao Cao handed over to Chen Gong and Cheng Yu to lead a 100,000 army to defend.

As Cao Cao thought, in addition to the southern region, Yuzhou is relatively wealthy and has some popular places occupied by Yuan Shu. Most areas have been deserted due to wars, with little population and no population. Naturally, there are no princes who have become a climatic. Therefore, when Cao Cao's army passed by Yuzhou, all the places in Yuzhou surrendered and were occupied by Cao Cao! Cao Cao was happy to see this situation along the way! Although this journey was called war, it was not much different from tourism! Cao Cao happily arrived at the Sili area! Originally, when Cao Cao entered the Sili area, he became serious and prepared to deal with Guo Tai and Bai Rao first, and prepared to solve the predicament of Luoyang first! However, Guo Tai and Bai Rao were a little afraid when they saw Cao Cao's army coming in a fierce manner, so they temporarily retreated, and the siege of Luoyang was solved instantly!

I saw this situation and didn't care! Although his purpose here was to expand his territory first and then to solve the problem of the small court in Luoyang, the small court in Luoyang also represents a part of the court. Since the siege of Luoyang has been untied, he would have to take people to meet these ministers no matter how much he said he would have to take people to see these ministers! But who knew that Cao Cao thought so, trouble would come!

Cao Cao brought his army to Luoyang. He asked his troops to station outside the city and entered Luoyang City with some personal guards! When the ministers of the Luoyang court saw Cao Cao coming to Luoyang, Bai Rao and Guo Tai retreated without fighting! When they saw Cao Cao's troops, they were also energetic and motivated, and they could be considered elite soldiers in a hundred battles! They were immediately moved! They wanted to recruit Cao Cao's troops and let them serve the Luoyang court! As for Cao Cao's troops, they could just give him an official position! So when Cao Cao entered Luoyang City, they met with the ministers in Luoyang! These ministers gave Cao Cao the position of left general, and then the ministers in the court began to speak and let Cao Cao hand over the military power and troops to Huangfu Song to lead, so that Cao Cao could stay in Luoyang and discuss matters with them.

Who is Cao Cao? He is so clever. Cao Cao understood the intention of these ministers at that time! He suddenly became angry! Although he still has a little loyalty to the Han Dynasty, it is against the Han Dynasty! Although these ministers have established a small court, they cannot completely represent the Han Dynasty! Moreover, even if they can represent the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao would not be willing to be restrained by them and be a puppet of these ministers! Moreover, Cao Cao also has ambitions and admires the character of these people in the Luoyang court, but Cao Cao is very dissatisfied with their talents! His troops were all raised by him through great hardships! He naturally wanted to use his troops to realize his ambitions, not to hand over these old and foolish people!

However, although Cao Cao was very angry, he was not stupid! Seeing that he was in this dangerous place in Luoyang, Cao Cao immediately made up his mind that he would not suffer the immediate losses and would not let these ministers put him under house arrest. If he turned against them now, he would have to be unlucky! At this moment, Cao Cao did not hesitate at all, and passionately expressed his loyalty to the Han Dynasty to these big men in the court, and he was willing to accept the leaders of the court. Of course, Cao Cao was not just good at saying some sweet words! Cao Cao was talking in a sweet word.

After all the ministers were shot out, he told these ministers that he had brought 150,000 elite soldiers this time, and the generals who led the troops were all their own brothers, and the soldiers were also their own tribes in their hometown. If the old Huangfu, whom they didn't know, suddenly took over their military power, it would probably cause misunderstandings and unnecessary embarrassment. Then, Cao Cao tactfully stated that he was willing to go with Huangfu Song to help Huangfu Song take over the army smoothly. However, when he became an official in the court in the future, these ministers would take care of him.
