In Songzhou City, there is heavy snow on the goose feathers. Outside Zhao Pu's mansion, a group of people stand in the wind and snow.

Zhao Pu opened the door of the mansion and saw the person outside the door, showing a shocked expression.

"Please come in quickly."

Zhao Pu knew that this group of people was not small, so he quickly welcomed the group of people in.

"My husband, these are...I'm paying homage to His Highness, King Song."

Zhao Pu's wife saw more than a dozen people coming in, one of them was Zhao Kuangyin, the King of Song.

"Sister-in-law doesn't need to be polite. We will not bother you when we discuss matters in the mansion, right?"

"Your Highness, why should you be polite? Just discuss matters, I will prepare the charcoal."

Zhao Pu's wife went down to burn charcoal and roast pork. She caught a glimpse of Zhao Kuangyin. In addition to Zhao Guangyi, there were more than a dozen people. These people had sharp eyes and murderous aura. It was obvious that they were all powerful and powerful men fighting on the battlefield, otherwise the murderous aura would not be so sinister.

What she was confused about was that Zhao Kuangyin brought such a group of people to Zhao Pu's mansion to discuss matters, and he didn't know what the major thing would be decided.

The Imperial City Department set up by Zhao Kuangyin caught wind and shadow in Songzhou City and captured detailed works sent by the Xia army.

Hundreds of soldiers from the Imperial City Division were either open or secretly sent by, deployed around Zhao Pu’s mansion, guarding them strictly and preventing any assassins from taking advantage of them.

Zhao Kuangyin took off his hat on his head, patted the snow on it, and said to everyone behind him, "You two are seniors, please sit down."

"I, Gao Huan, will not overestimate the leader. This time we form an alliance to plan together Zhang Hua, regardless of the superiority."

Gao Huan appeared in Zhao Pu's mansion in Songzhou, behind him was the powerful general Gao Aocao.

Gao Aocao was in charge, and Gao Huan was not worried that Zhao Kuangyin would do anything in chaos.

Furthermore, if something happened to Gao Huan, the Northern Qi army had the second son, Commander Gao Yang, and would not be annexed by Zhao Kuangyin.

Therefore, even if Zhao Kuangyin imprisoned Gao Huan, he would not get any benefits.

"Sima Zhongda, please sit down too."

"You're welcome."

Zhao Kuangyin, Gao Huan, Sima Yi, and the three giants in the Central Plains met secretly in Songzhou City.

Originally, there was Cao Cao in the Central Plains princes, but Cao Cao and Sima Yi had become mortal enemies and could not join forces with Sima Yi.

Since Zhao Kuangyin decided to form an alliance with Sima Yi, he would inevitably abandon Cao Cao.

Behind Sima Yi, there is a burly Western Liang general who serves as Sima Yi's guard.

Gao Huan and Sima Yi brought their powerful generals to the alliance.

Zhao Guangyi was also on the seat.

Zhao Kuangyin did not have any special guards because Zhao Kuangyin himself was a powerful general.

Even if he encounters the Five Tiger Generals, Zhao Kuangyin has the ability to escape.

Gao Huan's face was gloomy: "Zhang Hua sent the White Lotus Sect to attack Wancheng and capture my eldest son. Now he is lying in the six towns of the Central Plains, posing a threat to us. We must defeat Zhang Hua as soon as possible to avoid being swept across the Central Plains by him."

The three giants in the Central Plains, Zhao Kuangyin, Sima Yi and Zhang Hua had a conflict of interest, but Zhang Hua captured Gao Huan's eldest son Gao Cheng alive, which was not just an ordinary conflict.

Zhao Kuangyin and Sima Yi nodded.

Zhang Hua strongly expanded the land to the east and occupied the six towns in the Central Plains, which caused panic among the princes of the Central Plains.

If Zhang Hua's territory was just a territory as large as Nurhaci, then Zhao Kuangyin and Sima Yi would not be so worried.

But behind Zhang Hua, there are also territories such as Zhong, Heluo, Hedong, etc., and there are actually a million soldiers and horses that can be called.

Among the three giants in the Central Plains, none of them is Zhang Hua’s opponent.

As Zhao Kuangyin's military advisor, Zhao Pu analyzed the situation for everyone: "Although the Xia army is huge in size, Zhang Hua's territory is also large, and there are a large number of troops stationed in each place. Therefore, the soldiers who can be used to attack the Central Plains should usually be 200,000 to 300,000. In an emergency, the troops can reach 400,000 to 600,000. None of our families can compare with them. But as long as the three of us join forces, we will definitely win."

"I attack Daliang, He Liuhun attacked Ruzhou, Zhongda attacked Changshe, divided the troops into three groups, suppressed the Xia army to Hulao Pass, and did not allow him to worry about Guandong."

Zhao Kuangyin assigned tasks.

Gao Huan said: "This time we three emperors form an alliance, and any party cannot breach the contract, otherwise the gods and men will be killed together."

Zhao Kuangyin and Sima Yi said in unison: "The three emperors formed an alliance and would never go back on their word. If they turned against the alliance, the gods and men would kill each other!"

Song Taizu, Emperor Xuan of Jin, Emperor Shenwu of Northern Qi, and three emperor-level figures signed an alliance in Songzhou City to deal with the most powerful Xia army together.

In their eyes, Zhang Hua's threat is no less than that of the overlord of Hebei, Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu.

Zhang Hua and Liu Xiu are already the only overlord.

Zhao Kuangyin, Gao Huan, and Sima Yi were only considered princes at this time.

If the division of the countries in the Spring and Autumn Period was based on the division of the various countries, Zhang Hua and Liu Xiu were equivalent to the "Five Hegemons in the Spring and Autumn Period", and the three of them were other vassal states.

Zhao Kuangyin was also very good at playing together.

Although Zhao Kuangyin did not trust Gao Huan and Sima Yi very much.

Sima Yi has a complicated mind and is good at forbearance. In order to win, Sima Yi can do whatever he wants.

It would be strange to trust Sima Yi completely.

Sima Yi said: "There is another person, that is Cao Cao from Xuchang. If Cao Cao takes advantage of the three of us attacking Zhang Hua, the snipe and the clam fight, and the fisherman gains profit, so what?"

"Cao Cao is indeed a difficult prince. Once Cao Cao interferes with it, we will be very passive. It is better for our three families to take the lead in dividing Cao Cao's territory."

Gao Huan proposed the strategy of dividing Cao from three families, and Zhao Kuangyin and Sima Yi's eyes lit up.

Especially Sima Yi was afraid of Cao Cao, so Sima Yi intended to use words to guide Gao Huan, and Zhao Kuangyin proposed to divide Cao Cao's territory.

Gao Huan really followed Sima Yi's thinking.

"Three families divide the Cao..."

Zhao Kuangyin looked at the military advisor Zhao Pu, wanting to see the military advisor's opinions.

Zhao Kuangyin, Sima Yi, and Gao Huan all have their own civil servants and military generals and hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Any one can fight Cao Cao back and forth.

If the three families join forces, they can indeed divide Cao Cao's territory.

The three families can also strengthen their own strength by annexing Cao Cao's territory.

This is a very attractive proposal.

"Then do it."

Seeing Zhao Pu nodding, Zhao Kuangyin agreed.

Overlords have appeared in other regions, and the Central Plains are still in a situation where there are many princes. Zhao Kuangyin and the three princes of the three families first used swords against Nurhaci, and then wanted to exclude Cao Cao and began to clear the scene.

Zhao Kuangyin, Sima Yi and Gao Huan plotted in Zhao Pu's mansion to plan a detailed plan of march.

Zhao Guangyi, Sima Zhao and other major figures also participated in this plan, which was later recorded as the "Association of the Three Emperors" by historians.

The Central Plains is about to change.

In Xuchang City, Cao Cao was making fire beside the charcoal furnace. There were fires in the house, but Cao Cao suddenly felt cold behind him.

"Why do I have a feeling of anxiety? Yuan Benchu ​​has already attached himself to Emperor Guangwu and sent me a letter of persuasion to surrender. Should I surrender to Emperor Guangwu?"

Cao Cao owned the city in Xuchang area and fought for a long time. He was surrounded by strong men such as Nurhaci, Gao Huan, Sima Yi, etc., which was even more difficult than Yuan Shao. Cao Cao's expansion was not smooth.

After Yuan Shao surrendered to Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, he followed Liu Xiu's order and sent someone to send a letter to persuade Cao Cao to lead his troops north and surrender to Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiu was resident in Hebei, with thousands of good generals and millions of armor. He was also the son of the plane and was stronger than Cao Cao.

In addition, Liu Xiu was the founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Cao Cao was once a Han minister and never became emperor. Liu Xiu treated the heroes well and did not carry out a great purge like Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang. Cao Cao was really moved.

Once upon a time, Cao Cao was also a passionate young man who wanted to support the Han Dynasty. During the Yellow Turban Rebellion and attacked Dong Zhuo's period, Cao Cao had no worse feelings towards the Han Dynasty than Liu Bei and Sun Jian.

However, later Cao Cao saw that the world was in chaos and the Han Dynasty declined, so the dragon slayer eventually became the evil dragon.

If Cao Cao surrendered to Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu in this world, he would not feel embarrassed.

During the battle between the princes, Liu Xiu still swept across Hebei in the face of kings, princes, generals and ministers of all dynasties and became the overlord with a million troops. This is enough to show that the sons of the plane will have great luck everywhere.

"Fengxiao, what do you think?"

Cao Cao called out military advisor Guo Jia to see what Guo Jia thinks.

Guo Jia pondered for a while and answered the question that was irrelevant: "I heard that Xun Wenruo has already served under Emperor Guangwu."

"Yes, the lonely Wang Zuo..."

Cao Cao was very depressed.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao used the emperor to order the emperor to despise the ministers, and relied on the emperors of the Han Dynasty to recruit a large number of talents from the Eastern Han family.

However, in this world, there are several orthodox Han Dynasty, among which Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu and Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang of Han Dynasty can be regarded as orthodox Han Dynasty.

Between Liu Xiu and Cao Cao, Xun Yu chose Liu Xiu without hesitation.

Since there is an orthodox Han Dynasty, why should we surrender to the powerful minister Cao Cao?

Not only did Liu Xiu attract Xun Yu and other ministers who valued the Han Dynasty under Cao Cao, but also Sima Yi, a traitor, stole a group of civil and military officials.

Therefore, it was difficult for Cao Cao to expand in the Central Plains.

Xun Yu, Xun You, and Jia Xu were not here, so Cao Cao could only rely on Guo Jia.
