Chapter 105
These ministers had long been knocked out by Cao Cao, and they all regarded Cao Cao as their own people. At this time, I saw Cao Cao's cooperation so much. Isn't it just for him to take care of him in his future career? That was a matter of course. Immediately, these ministers all agreed with their chests. But! They never expected that Cao Cao asked them to take care of him, but it was just Cao Cao's way of thinking. After Cao Cao brought Huangfu Song back to his camp and broke away from the control of these ministers in the court, Cao Cao immediately took the emperor.
Fu Song got under house arrest. Then, Cao Cao said viciously to Xiahou Dun and others: "I would rather let the people of the world betray me than the people of the world betray me! Originally, a certain family was just going to take over the control of Sili, and did not want to have any intentions against them, the small court in Luoyang. But since they dared to play with me, I must not let them go!" Of course, Cao Cao was very angry. As he said, Cao Cao still had some loyalty and righteousness towards the court and did not transform into a hero! But he would not let go of his own troops!
On the spot, Cao Cao launched his so-called revenge operation. Cao Cao first ordered Cao Hong to take the tokens and seals found from Huangfu Song and others. With an army of 50,000, he took over Huangfu Song's tens of thousands of troops. Secondly, Cao Cao ordered Cao Ren to bring 10,000 troops into Luoyang, control the houses of all the imperial officials in Luoyang, and arrested all the private armed forces and guards of these ministers in the court.
Finally, Cao Cao gathered these frightened tycoons in the court. With the momentum of an absolute domineering person, very polite attitude, and almost humble words, he discussed with these ministers: "Cao is loyal to the heart of the Han Dynasty, and can see the world. However, thorns are blocking the road. Cao should overcome all obstacles and be willing to give in! And all the dukes are the legacy of the late emperor and the pillars of the country. Cao still needs to rely on everyone's support and guidance. The dukes dare not discuss the plan of the dukes. The pattern of the imperial court still needs to work hard. But those trivial matters such as running errands and passing messages will serve as younger generations."
Cao Cao was kind to me, but the specific meaning has been pointed out. You are just like what you should do, whatever you want. And you will be supported by me, Cao Cao, in the future. But if you want to do anything or what kind of order you pass, you must agree with my Cao Cao and I, Cao Cao, to handle it. To put it bluntly, you, the small court in Luoyang, have been under house arrest and control by me, Cao Cao.
These ministers had no good idea between life and death. Especially although Cao Cao was discussing with them, this was no different from unilateral notification to them. Anyway, regardless of whether these ministers agreed or not, Cao Cao was just using their name. The ministers who refused to obey had long been under house arrest by Cao Cao. However, their name would still be used by Cao Cao.
After Cao Cao controlled this small court in Luoyang, he immediately increased his attack on Guo Tai and Bai Rao. However, after several contacts, Cao Cao was very interested in this army that had been tested for war. Guo Tai's army had experienced the Yellow Turban Battle and the Bingzhou Battle, and fought against Huangfu Song for a long time. The remaining ones were all strong veterans who were killed by life and death, and almost all the old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers were dead. How terrifying is the combat effectiveness of Guo Tai's army now?
Bai Rao's troops were also elite troops preserved after repeated fierce battles, and all the old, weak, sick and disabled were dead. The rest were all deadly people who were on their waists, killing one with enough money and killing two to earn one. Therefore, after comprehensively considering the strength of his own troops and the bandits, Cao Cao pessimistically discovered that even if he could destroy these bandits, the troops he had finally accumulated had to be all here. Then what was waiting for him would be destroyed.
In this desperate situation, Cao Cao used his brains and worked together to discuss and solve the problem. Xi Zhicai offered advice to Cao Cao: "The cunning rabbit encounters a desperate situation, but he will still kick the eagle. The two bandits of Guo Tai and Bai Rao are all defeated bandits from Bingzhou, Huainan and other places. They have been fighting for a long time and are fierce and tenacious. Under the oppression of our army, there is no other way, so of course they will resist to the death and fight for the death. Youdao is the plan of the superior army and the second army to attack the diplomatic army. Now the lord has court officials for help and the righteousness is in hand. Why not imitate the old plan of His Highness of Jin to surrender Zhang Yan in Heishan and surrender these bandits. These bandits have been running for a long time, and if they are loved by the lord, they will definitely be quiet for a long time and submit to the lord. In this way, the lord will not only not hurt a soldier or a soldier, but also get hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers. Isn't that a great good thing?"
Cao Cao was really excited about Xi Zhicai's suggestion, but when he was sent to the envoy, Guo Tai and Bai Rao were definitely a dangerous job. Guo Tai and Bai Rao were not princes, they were two major bandits. What kind of armies would they abide by, and they would not kill them to make rules. Therefore, Cao Cao frowned and said, "This plan is good. But who can do it?" Xi Zhicai raised his head and said, "I am willing to talk to the general!" Cao Cao hurriedly shook his head and said, "No! No! Mr. is the mastermind of our army. He has a body of gold. This trip is too dangerous. I would rather give up thousands of troops than lose it. I would like to discuss this matter again! I will discuss it again."
Xi Zhicai was moved and insisted on leaving. Cao Cao said nothing. In the end, Xi Zhicai was responsible for Cao Cao's righteousness, and repeatedly promised that with his own strategy and words, there would be no mistakes and he could complete the task successfully. Cao Cao had no choice but to agree to Xi Zhicai's request. Finally, Cao Cao cried and sent Xi Zhicai out of the camp, and asked Xi Zhicai to save his life first and he must come back alive. At the same time, Cao Cao ordered his clan brother Cao Hong to escort Xi Zhicai's safety. He also ordered Cao Hong to say that if Xi Zhicai had any mistakes, then Cao Hong would not have to come back again.
All the generals in the camp were moved by Cao Cao's true feelings for his subordinates. Xi Zhicai did not let Cao Cao down. After arriving at Guo Tai and Bai Rao, he had sex, told the facts and made sense. Guo Tai and Bai Rao were all moved. But! Guo Tai had secretly received Zhang Yan's order and accepted Liu Bin's order. Now he just wanted to get a piece of territory and expand his strength so as to ask Liu Bin for a larger official position. Now Bai Rao is in partnership with him. He is strong enough and has a little territory. Guo Tai had contacted Zhang Yan a long time ago. However, Guo Tai got the order that he had temporarily stopped moving and secretly
After Dong Zhuo sent troops, he attacked Dong Zhuo's rear, restrained and harassed Dong Zhuo's troops. After Guo Tai completed the mission successfully, Guo Tai could obtain the title of General Wuwei and the real power of the head of a county. Therefore, Guo Tai believed that Cao Cao was far less powerful than King Liu Bin of Jin, and the benefits Cao Cao gave were far less than those of Youzhou, and he was grateful for the favors of Zhang Yan and his daughter, and was afraid of Liu Bin's interests. Therefore, Guo Tai politely rejected Xi Zhicai's proposal. After all, compared with His Highness King of Jin in Youzhou, Cao Cao and other princes are too far apart! With a good choice, how could he agree to choose some bad people?
However, on the one hand, Mr. Guo thought that he was now half a person in the court and should not be so stale with the ministers in the court. On the other hand, he thought that it would be better not to conflict with Cao Cao's troops at this time, so as not to delay his major affairs. Therefore, Mr. Guo was still very polite to Xi Zhicai. It was delicious, delicious and easy to entertain. He was ready to let Xi Zhicai rest and go back, and at the same time he went back, he could express his hope to live in peace with Cao Cao and have peace and stability for himself.
However, Bai Rao didn't know about Mr. Guo's thoughts and thoughts. Therefore, Bai Rao was very puzzled by Mr. Guo's actions of not surrendering and not fighting! Moreover, Bai Rao has been fighting for so many years and has always lived a life of being chased and killed. He is indeed a little tired. Therefore, Bai Rao is particularly passionate about the beautiful prospects described by Xi Zhicai. In addition, since Bai Rao collaborated with Mr. Guo, he has been demoted from being the only one to the second leader, but Bai Rao's original position in the world is still ranked among Mr. Guo.
At the same time, Bai Rao was somewhat resentful, and Mrs. Guo believed that he was Zhang Yan's faction. He had been with Zhang Yan for a while before, but if he followed King Liu Bin of Jin, he would definitely be successful. Therefore, Mrs. Guo had some official airs in his daily life. He was also a little arrogant when dealing with Bai Rao. It was just because of the oppression of the surrounding environment that Bai Rao did not break up with Guo Tai. Now Xi Zhicai has given another way to survive. Bai Rao's resentment was immediately revealed.
These actions between Bai Rao and Mrs. Guo were not big, but Xi Zhicai took all this. That night, Xi Zhicai asked Cao Hong to escort him to Bai Rao's camp. He spoke cleverly about Bai Rao and told Bai Rao to stir up the disagreement between Bai Rao and Mrs. Guo, which made Bai Rao's resentment towards Mrs. Guo's more intense! After Bai Rao was moved, he gritted his teeth and decided to fight once! Bai Rao gathered troops overnight and took advantage of Mrs. Guo's camp when Mrs. Guo was unprepared. He took the opportunity to kill Mrs. Guo and surrender Mrs. Guo's troops! Finally, in Xi
Under the temptation of Zhicai, Bai Rao surrendered Cao Cao. Since then, Cao Cao suddenly hosted all the ministers and controlled the court, covering two and a half of the territory, with a total of 500,000 troops. Cao Cao has also risen this time. His strength has gone further! Compared with Yuan Shu, it is not inferior! Although Guo Tai's life has partially destroyed the deployment of the Youzhou General Staff Department. However, Guo Tai's ambush was just an unexpected move that Guo Tai automatically came to his door after the expansion of Guo's strength. There was no loss in the overall deployment of Youzhou. So the Youzhou army didn't care much!
