Xuchang.

Cao Cao had never been idle after welcoming the emperor. The emperor's palace, including the officials' food and daily life, needed to be arranged properly.

After a full month, the curtain came to an end.

"Lord, the Chang'an imperial examination has been selected. The top of the martial arts ranking is a man named Zhao Yun, who is not famous. The top of the literary ranking is a poor family member of Guo Jia, Yingchuan County."

Cao Cao listened to the report from the people below and couldn't help but sigh: "No matter what other person Lu Bu is, he is enough to see his mind by his courage to reuse the selection system of Cai Daru's imperial examination."

"Cai Daru, the world's largest scholar, is really not wrong with this title."

Cao Cao was full of praise and even admired Cai Yong's various behaviors and the imperial examination system.

"Lord, we don't know about Zhao Yun, but Guo Jia!"

Among the people, only Xi Zhicai looked solemn after hearing this name, and even stepped out and bowed and said in a deep voice: "Guo Jia is a talented man."

Cao Cao was also full of curiosity with a light ejaculation. A mere nameless person could actually make his trusted advisers attach so much importance to it.

"Zhicai, can you recognize this person Guo Jia?"

Facing Cao Cao's inquiry, Xi Zhicai also sighed bitterly, "Although Guo Jia from Yingchuan came from a poor family, this person is quick-witted and his advice is like a flowing cloud. This person should live up to the name of a genius."

"This person is my best friend. When I came to join my lord, Guo Jia had already gone to Jizhou to join Yuan Shao. Later, because he was not allowed to use his idle tuition at home, he thought he would recommend it to his lord in the future."

When he said this, Xi Zhicai shook his head regretfully and sighed, "I didn't expect that Fengxiao actually went to join Lu Bu."

Cao Cao's face also had a deep look of regret when he heard this, "A person who can win and praise such aspirations must be extraordinary, but it's a pity that he will be destined to be fate."

At this time, Cao Cao showed a proud look and said proudly: "What if he, Guo Jia, has the ability of a genius? I also have the ability of a genius under my tent."

Faced with Cao Cao's praise, Xi Zhicai laughed humbly. Since ancient times, there has been no first in literature and no second in martial arts. He said that the other party is very talented, just to show his modesty. This is the virtue of humility in the mouth of literati, but he has a sense of arrogance in his bones.

"Haha, then Yuan Benchu ​​must have underestimated Guo Jia's poor family. Now this person has been regarded as a guest of honor by Lu Bu. Wouldn't it be a slap in the face after hearing this? Haha~"

When Cao Cao thought of this, he burst into laughter. He knew Yuan Shao's virtues better than anyone else.

"Lord, the emperor is already in Xuchang, and now we have the righteousness in hand, let's take the next step!"

Lu Bu captured Luoyang, and Yuan Shao received good news in Youzhou again, but Cao Cao was trapped in the place. Xi Zhicai couldn't help but speak to Cao Cao in a deep voice.

After hearing this, Cao Cao looked around the civil and military generals on both sides and said in a deep voice: "Last year, my father was killed in Xuzhou, and everyone was forcing me to withdraw. He didn't want to see my Cao Mengde grow bigger, but today is different from the past!"

When he said this, Cao Cao pointed to Luoyang heroically and shouted: "The invincible Lu Bu is here! This tiger is here!"

"When Liu Biao heard about it, he arranged two rebels Li Jue and Guo Si in Wancheng. Why? Isn't Liu Biao jealous of the 50,000 army? Or is Liu Biao not afraid of the 50,000 Xiliang soldiers causing chaos?"

At this time, Cao Cao was more confident and laughed directly: "It was him Liu Biao who was afraid! He was afraid that the tiger that had entered the Central Plains would turn to eat people, so Liu Biao placed 50,000 troops of Li Jue and Guo Si in Wancheng to resist Lu Bu."

"There are also Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu, who are four generations and three dukes. Although he has 300,000 troops in Jizhou, he has won consecutive battles on Youzhou battlefield, so what? This time they need me, Cao Mengde!"

"I, Cao Mengde, need to help them block this tiger that can eat people."

Under the arrogant and heroic voice, Cao Cao's face showed a sense of conceit and shouted directly: "This time, my Cao Mengde wants to swallow Xuzhou, Yuan Shao, Liu Biao and Yuan Shu's children. They will not only not stop me, but will also help my Cao Mengde look forward to the big rear."

"They are afraid! They are afraid that this tiger will eat people. They need our Cao Mengde to stand in front of this tiger."

After shouting repeatedly, Cao Cao's eyes were filled with bloodshots. He looked directly at the generals under the tent and shouted: "Soldiers are of great speed! I want to conquer Xuzhou again!"

"Lord! The last time I will ask for your order!"

The generals came out to fight one after another, and Wen Cheng looked solemn, which was not bad. Now the general trend of the world has been clear, and Lu Bu will change as soon as he occupy Luoyang.

Everyone was on guard against this tiger that suddenly entered the Central Plains. No one wanted to meet this tiger, so they needed Cao Cao.

And now is the best opportunity. Once this tiger is completely digested by Luoyang, the tiger will come out and eat people if it is hungry.

"Rise up! Attack Xuzhou!"

boom!

Cao Cao suddenly pulled out his sword and looked at the firm roar of civil and military officials under his command. In an instant, the civil and military generals clasped their fists and shouted: "Accumulate Xuzhou!"

No one expected that in November of this cold winter, Cao Cao asked the emperor to issue an edict to raise an army of 100,000 to attack Xuzhou.

At the same time, he used the emperor's edict to grant Yuan Shao the left general, commanding Ji and You, which gave Yuan Shao enough face, and even made Yuan Shao's unbalanced heart come back for so many years.

You should know that Lu Bu restricted Yuan Shao, and Dong Zhuo did not like Yuan Shao, so Yuan Shao has been his own proclaimed official until now.

You see, Gongsun Zan was both the left generals. Cao Cao directly accused Gongsun Zan of Youzhou, abducted by the emperor, and removed his left general from his position as the governor of Youzhou, and ordered him to retreat to the border.

Youzhou.

After receiving the emperor's imperial edict, Yuan Shao laughed excitedly, "Haha~ Meng De knows me, I know me."

Especially when he removed Gongsun Zan from his position as General Zuo, he turned around and turned into General Zuo, but he even controlled Ji, You and the three states. Cao Cao could be said to have directly conferred the entire Hebei to him.

"Haha~ The news of the emperor's imperial edict spread throughout the three armies. By the way, I spread it all over Youzhou, so that everyone in the world knows that now Yuan Benchu ​​is following the imperial edict to fight the thief, and Gongsun Zan is just a rebellion."

Yuan Shao was so excited that he grinned his earlobe, and his civil and military officials congratulated him one by one.

"Haha, congratulations to lord, Cao Mengde did this just to get his lord to support him in attacking Xuzhou."

"But for the current situation, it is the last straw that overwhelms Gongsun Zan. Now the lord is attacking Youzhou with justification, but Gongsun Zan is different from the past."

"Good lord, Cao Cao's power is indeed not enough. Once this fierce tiger in Luoyang comes out of the gate, Cao Mengde will be the first to be affected, but he needs to strengthen his strength."

Yuan Shao, who was stroking his beautiful beard, listened to the praises of his civil and military personnel under his command, and laughed directly: "Meng De has such a heart, and I, Yuan Shao, cannot lose politeness."

"Youzhou Gongsun Zan is already a turtle in the jar. He went to the army to select 500 war horses to send to Meng De."

promise!

Yuan Shao was not stupid with a smile. He even wanted Cao Cao to swallow Xuzhou quickly and pose a threat to Lu Bu after digesting his strength.

After restraint, he will be able to digest Youzhou with confidence.

Everyone has their own little thoughts. Before Lu Bu, a powerful enemy, appeared in the Central Plains, Yuan Shao secretly did not want Cao Cao to increase his strength, but it was different now.

One of the injuries will be caused when two tigers fight each other. Cao Cao wants Yuan Shao to become the tiger here, and Yuan Shao also wants Cao Cao to become another tiger.

Shouchun.

When Yuan Shu learned the news, he couldn't help but snorted coldly, "Cao A-man is a villain, but he also needs this person to restrain Lu Bu, a arrogant person."

"Where are you here, I will send 500 powerful crossbows to Cao Mengde to show my respect for the emperor."

promise!

Although Yuan Shu was proud and looked down on the world, he still had to be afraid of Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo.

Especially when Lu Bu is the man who is in charge of the war, he has witnessed it with his own eyes. Afterwards, he fought one by one, and no one in the world knows that this man is using his troops as a god.

No one wants this tiger to become bigger, especially Lu Bu, who came from a poor family, which makes Yuan Shu a little disdainful.

If it weren't for Dong Zhuo's advantage, it would be difficult for Lu Bu to accomplish great things.

Xuzhou!

Under the storm in December, Liu Bei was anxious. Who would have thought that the storm would change so much in just one year?

Last year, no one in the world wanted to see Cao Cao become bigger. This year, because Lu Bu's tiger entered the Central Plains, everyone was in danger and secretly helped Cao Cao openly.

Especially this time, Cao Cao even conquered Xuzhou under the banner of the emperor, saying that he wanted to avenge his father.

Yuan Shu even abandoned the so-called brother-in-law of the family. After Liu Bei sent a letter to rescue, he only said coldly.

"A woman from Yuan's family was born. After she got married, she was no longer a member of Yuan's family, but his wife of Liu Bei."

Just like this, Liu Bei was so angry that he blushed and his neck angrily slapped the table, "Yuan Gaolu! You are ruthless and unrighteous."

The letters sent to Yuan Shao in Jizhou seemed much better than Yuan Shu, but they almost made Liu Bei vomit blood.

"Cao Cao was in charge of justice in accordance with the emperor's edict, and avenging his father was the original intention of filial piety. If he did not do it, he could come to Jizhou. Shaoding would like to welcome him..."

Liu Bei was very aggrieved when he read this letter. Yuan Shao was even more cruel than Yuan Shu. It seemed to be a little humane, but the other party wanted to eat it all before he could be content.

It means that Liu Bei could not defeat Cao Cao, and he came north to surrender to him, and Yuan Shao would definitely treat him seriously.

This man and his horse must eat them completely before they can stop.

"Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu is a fool who is unrighteous, and he is a villain."

Liu Bei roared angrily with gritted teeth, and Guan Yu below said with a gloomy face: "Brother, Cao Cao is coming this time, and we can mobilize up to 50,000 troops in Xuzhou."

"Big brother, second brother, or all the major families in Xuzhou are sitting and watching. Otherwise, why would Xuzhou have such troops?"

Although Zhang Fei is a big and sturdy person, he looks reckless, but Zhang Fei is the only one of the three brothers, and he is much more knowledgeable than Guan Yu.

Zhang Fei stared at his big eyes and said with a buzzing voice unwillingly: "The Cao family in Xuzhou gave his little daughter to Lu Bu, and the Mi family also gave one."

"Lu Bu certainly doesn't want to see Cao Cao take Xuzhou. Brother, why not ask Lu Bu for help."

Zhang Fei's words made Liu Bei stare at him. What his third brother said was somewhat reasonable, but Guan Yu, who was beside him, shook his head and sighed.

"Who doesn't know what the situation in Luoyang is? How could Lu Bu lead a large army to fight against Cao Cao now?"

This time, when facing his second brother, Zhang Fei showed a proud smile. It was obvious that his second brother was not as good as him in the handling of the wealthy families.

"Second brother, we don't have to send troops to Lu Bu. As long as Lu Bu gives the Cao family in Xuzhou a message, not to say anything else, at least Cao Bao will give him some face in secret."

"Not to mention the Mi family."

Zhang Fei laughed, this is the way to survive for all the tribes of aristocratic families. You, Lu Bu, the princes of the world, have to give him some face, and Cao Bao from Xuzhou, won the opportunity to help him, and Cao Cao won in the future.

No one dares to say who is the ultimate winner at the moment, so no aristocratic family will offend them.

Cao Bao would definitely buy Lu Bu for face secretly and help them secretly. Even if Cao Cao gets Xuzhou in the future, he is commonplace and will not care much about it.

The Mi family even had a good relationship with his elder brother, and it was almost time to wear a pair of pants.

"Okay, my third brother is right, so I will write a letter."

Liu Bei was in a state of great trouble. Not to mention the major families in Xuzhou, Cao Cao was attacked by the emperor's emperor's decree and observed the situation in the world.
