If the two Yuans come together, there will be no competitor in the world.
"Your Majesty, for the present plan, we are returning to Luoyang. I am afraid that it will be difficult to sustain food and grass. I think it is better for your Majesty to move to Luyang first!"
It has been several days since the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Yang Biao and others once again proposed returning to Luoyang. At this time, Cao Cao did not hesitate at all and directly spoke out.
The words directly point to the current problem of poor people's livelihood and difficulty in food and grass in Luoyang.
Cao Cao did not directly persuade Liu Xie to move the capital. What he said was to advise Liu Xie to move to Luyang for the time being.
As soon as these words were spoken, Dong Cheng, Yang Biao and others all frowned slightly.
Although something feels wrong in my heart, the problem Cao Cao is referring to at this moment is actually fundamental!
Now that the old capital of Luoyang has not been rebuilt, it is a good choice to move it temporarily.
Yang Biao and others did not speak.
Huainan, Shouchang.
The emperor's move to the capital was no small matter.
The gap between the two is not that big.
Zhang Fei held the wine cup with a look of disdain on his face.
After Xi Yu finished speaking, Cao Cao's expression changed slightly and he quickly asked to the side.
Now, the emperor has even made Cao Cao a general, and his power is no less than that of him, and even above him.
At the same time.
But from what I heard, Xu County, as Cao Cao said, was actually a very good place.
Although Yuan Shu didn't want to agree, he found it hard to refuse in his heart.
What's more, with Yuan Shao's current status, if the two Yuans are combined, Yuan Shao will inevitably be the dominant one. According to Yuan Shu's nature, it is difficult to succumb to him."
If he hadn't been adopted in his early years, he might not even be qualified to inherit the Yuan family's business now.
As soon as Yuan Shu finished speaking, his counselor Yan Xiang immediately followed up with his advice.
When that boy was at Yuan's house, he and he were tit for tat. Although the two were brothers, they still had a competitive relationship with each other.
"After learning about your Majesty's affairs, I even thought that Feng Yi had anticipated it!"
He, Yuan Shao, now controls the land of Three Continents, and Yuan Shu controls Huainan, which is not bad.
Luyang, within Dong Cheng’s temporary residence.
As a result, Xi Yu began to settle in a new house in Xu County.
Cao Cao gave examples one after another, and Liu Xie couldn't help but look hard.
What he cares about is that the emperor is finally in front of them, and with the emperor's name, they have already occupied the great justice of the world.
Liu Xie, who was in the first place, subconsciously looked at Xi Yu, but the latter didn't pay attention to Liu Xie's eyes.
In early September, the Emperor issued an order to confer Cao Cao the title of General and the rank of Marquis of Wuping.
I heard about moving the capital.
Now in Juancheng, although he is ignored by others, Cao Jun's eyes and ears are all around him.
"According to what the general said!"
Cao Cao made a remonstrance and was quite angry at Yang Feng's previous rebellion.
However, if we compete with Yuan Shao at this time, it will definitely not be over in a short time.
Yang Biao sighed, now that the Emperor has moved to Luyang, whether he will return to Luoyang is no longer under their control.
Liu Xie did not refuse, but he also did not agree outright.
Jushou was a little helpless.
Three days later, Cao Cao captured Liang County and other places.
He had been keeping an eye on Xuzhou for a long time, but he never expected that Cao Cao would capture it first.
"oh!"
"I never thought that there would be such a coincidence in the world!"
After Yuan Shao read the reward that Cao Cao recommended to the imperial court for him, he held it tightly with his fingers.
This time they settled into their new house, and Xun Yu and others all came to the house.
As for Guo Tu and others, he just glared at them.
However, the focus of the current dilemma still lies with Yuan Shu.
The temporary palace in Xu County had been built, and the emperor immediately moved to Xu County. In October, he proclaimed the empire and moved the capital to Xu County!
…
"That bastard Yuan Shao wants to invite me to attack Cao Cao together?"
If Yuan Shao is willing to join forces with Yuan Shu, and the two of them attack Cao Cao from the north and the south together, they will naturally cause damage to Cao Cao's military strength.
If it were Yanzhou Juancheng, Liu Xie would not agree to anything.
Because he had flattered the emperor before, Yuan Shao felt that something was wrong with him, so he thought it would be better to listen to Ju Shou's advice.
…
Is it difficult for Cao Cao to think like Dong Zhuo?
At this time, Liu Xie was a little wary and stared at Cao Cao, as if he wanted to see something wrong on his face.
After hearing what Liu Xie said, Cao Cao was not in a hurry. He was just moving the capital this time. It would take some time for Xu County to establish a new capital.
Cao Cao on the other side also felt a little emotional.
Following Yan Xiang's analysis, Yuan Shao's envoy beside him also echoed.
However, Liu Xie was somewhat wary of the thought of moving the capital.
If he hadn't known that this was really a coincidence, he would have thought that the man in front of him was a monster.
Yuan Shao's brows couldn't help but frown.
"Is there any movement from Yuan Shu?"
"If the two Yuans come together, it will be difficult for anyone in the world to compete with them. Even our army will not be able to stand on its own!"
Although he said this, Liu Bei felt a little sour in his heart.
However, Cao Cao's face at this moment was as usual, with a sincere expression, as if he was really thinking about him.
Furthermore, although Yuan Shao was a brother in name only in his eyes, Yuan Shu regarded him as a bastard after all!
Originally, the other party was not qualified to compete with him for the Yuan family.
Yuan Shao was trembling with anger. He regretted not listening to Ju Shou's advice, if he had welcomed the emperor to Yecheng.
…
Within the Xu County Government Office.
From Sili Xiaowei to General, the gap between them is not that big!
In just a few months, he reached a position that was once difficult to reach.
However, this was Jushou's suggestion after all.
Yan Xiang knew that his lord and Yuan Shao had some differences, but if he only looked at the interests at this moment, it would be a good opportunity to send troops.
Now he is the one who controls the emperor!
The great general of the Han Dynasty is naturally Yuan Shao. What's wrong with Cao Cao!
"The general's move shows the prestige of the imperial court!"
Yuan Shao attacked Yanzhou from the north, and Yuan Shu attacked Xuzhou from the south.
And now almost everyone in Cao Camp knows about this matter.
After that, Cao Cao served as the prefect of Dongjun and he served as the captain of Anxi County.
If the two of them could really unite, they wouldn't wait until now.
"Your Majesty, Luyang is not a place where we have lived for a long time. The current and old capital of Luoyang is no longer a place where we can live. I have ordered my subordinates to supervise the construction of a new capital. What do you think, Your Majesty?"
Unless Yuan Shao is willing to whisper to his brother, it will be difficult for Yuan Shu to cooperate with Yuan Shao.
Now is not the time!
"Lord, for the sake of this plan, we must not compete with Yuan Shao!"
Whether it was Xi Zhicai or Xi Yu, in the end they didn't care too much about this kind of thing.
Not long after, Yuan Shao sent an envoy to Huainan to communicate with Yuan Shu.
"If we turn against Yuan Shao, our army will be in danger of being attacked from three sides!"
Taiwei Yang Biao sat opposite Dong Cheng.
Hearing what Xi Yu said, and thinking of what Yang Fengzhi had done before, Liu Xie nodded in approval.
"Being a brother has no merit, how dare you accept the emperor's reward?"
In early October, as the emperor moved the capital to Xu County, the administrative center that originally belonged to Juancheng, Yanzhou began to move to Xu County.
"Your Majesty, there was a rebellion by Yang Feng and others. This time I want to follow your Majesty's orders and attack Yang Feng. What do you think?"
Cao Cao now holds Yanzhou and Xuzhou, and is eyeing Sili and looking south to Jingyu, and he has the potential to become bigger.
Like a bird in a cage or a fish in a pond.
And just because of Cao Cao's behavior of flattering the emperor, he suddenly turned into a great general, which really made Yuan Shao angry.
Xun Yu originally thought that the emperor was missing, but he never thought that when he turned around, the emperor would appear in front of Xi Yu and the others.
After hearing Liu Xie's promise to attack Yang Feng, Cao Cao expressed his intention to move the capital.
Now he owns the land of three states, and he will even be able to annex the entire Bingzhou state in a short time.
"My lord, although Yuan Shao is the one responsible for the current predicament, the crisis this time is not due to Yuan Shao, but to Yuan Shu!"
After all, although Yuan Shu is not as powerful as Yuan Shao now, Yuan Shu is actually not much different.
By then, half of the Han Dynasty will be under his control.
Hit him, he will definitely not be afraid!
At that time, Dong Cheng naturally realized that Cao Cao might not be as they wished.
"Damn Cao Ah Ma!"
The emperor even pretended to be a distant relative of his family.
"Lord, this is a great opportunity!"
Liu Bei was left in Juancheng, as if he was imprisoned.
"This place is quite close to the old capital Luoyang. When the mountains and rivers are reorganized in the future, Your Majesty can also return to Luoyang."
How could Liu Xie not be serious?
at the same time.
However, this time it was restricted by Cao Cao, and even the emperor Liu Xie felt that the move of moving the capital mentioned by Cao Cao was not a big problem.
Within the temporary shelter.
Xi Yu beside him also nodded, but then he smiled at Cao Cao.
This is nothing more than the emperor doing whatever he wants!
Within Juancheng, Yanzhou.
However, as the emperor moved to Luyang at this moment, Cao Cao began to ignore such suggestions.
Now that he knew that his original choice was wrong, Yuan Shao couldn't help but want to hear Ju Shou's opinion.
He seems to have never been able to move as fast as the other person, and now he is even more dependent on someone else.
After all, it is somewhat difficult for two people to get together.
Yang Biao was already powerless.
At the end of August, Liu Xie followed Cao Cao to Luyang, and Cao Cao specially gave up his residence to live in Liu Xie.
Since he is not at the end of his rope, he will naturally not give up his intention to compete with Yuan Shao.
"This is the land of Wang Xing!"
The body has been restricted and fettered, and it is already extremely difficult to break free!
Hearing Zhang Fei's complaint, Liu Bei just shook his head.
Now that Cao Cao has captured Xuzhou, history has already gone awry here.
But, you can't tell what hasn't happened.
Liu Xie couldn't help but frown.
But if you really want to fight, it is naturally easier to fight with a helper.
Cao Cao met Liu Xie again.
October is approaching.
Xun Yu's words pointed directly at the current situation.
"I second the proposal!"
It had only been a month, but just before the Emperor was approaching, he had transformed from his original position as Sili Xiaowei to become the general of the Han Dynasty!
This is a great general!
Even Wei Qing back then was nothing more than this.
"I don't know what the emperor thinks!"
During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Cao Cao was only a young general leading the army. He also recruited his own soldiers.
However, now the three of them seem to be ignored.
At this time, Cao Cao had to realize that Li Jue, Guo Si, Yang Feng and others valued the emperor so much!
Really, this power is so great!
If Yuan Shao hadn't passed it on to someone else, he would have been the sole leader of the Yuan family.
However, Cao Cao's response slightly surprised Liu Xie.
Cao Cao entered Yanzhou and he entered Xuzhou.
The two do not interfere with each other, but if they send troops together, it will be difficult for Cao's army to take care of both ends. For Yuan Shu, the advantages of this situation outweigh the disadvantages.
From Jushou's point of view, it is definitely possible to fight.
Seeing this play, Xun Yu couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
I heard Jushou say this.
After Yuan Shao refused the position of Sikong, Cao Cao realized that something was wrong. When he heard that Yuan Shao wanted to send troops to Yanzhou, Cao Cao already regretted it.
"My lord, I want to send troops to Yanzhou, what do you think?"
…
Even for Xi Yu, having a relationship with Liu Xie is not a good thing.
"Of course, the two Yuans can't get along! Yuan Shu is a proud and arrogant person, so he may not be willing to get along with Yuan Shao.
"Damn it, really damn it!"
In the middle of September, Cao Cao followed the emperor's order and led a large army to attack Yang Feng. In the middle of the month, Cao Cao defeated Yang Feng in a battle.
"My lord, I think this is not an opportunity to march into Yanzhou. If your lord really intends to send troops to Yanzhou, he may make an appointment with Yuan Shu of Huainan and send troops together!"
"Thirdly, Xu County has convenient transportation. It is adjacent to the Yellow River in the north, Huanghuai in the east, Jiangxia in the south, and Nanyang in the southwest."
"Now that His Majesty has moved the capital to Xu County, this matter is finally as we expected!"
If the two unite, who will take the lead?
The current situation is different from when the princes united to attack Dong Zhuo.
After Yuan Shao regretted his decision, the first thing he thought of was Ju Shou, who had given him the previous advice.
After that, there will be more choices for you to do.
What will happen next, Xi Yu can't be sure.
"Too late!"
What's more, Liu Xie had already moved the imperial capital once before under Dong Zhuo's coercion.
Liu Bei shook his head, and Zhang Fei beside him couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, and took another sip of wine into his mouth.
What's more, the strategy agreed upon by Cao Ying was to march westward to Sili and control the Guanzhong area, and then Yuan Shao's business would be done.
Taiwei Yang Biao and Chariot and Cavalry General Dong Chengjin both felt that Cao Cao was in trouble.
Liu Xie subconsciously glanced at Xi Yu beside him, who smiled and nodded.
…
"Where do you want to move to?"
"Just follow Cao Qing's instructions!"
Now I heard that Cao Cao advised him to move the capital.
"Lieutenant Yang, Cao Mengde is very ambitious. Now that he is persuading Your Majesty to move to Luyang, he may be disloyal. We will take precautions as soon as possible and persuade His Majesty to return to Luoyang as soon as possible."
Right now, there are only two people around, Cao Cao and Xi Yu. As for whether to move the capital or not, is there any benefit in moving the capital?
He felt that this kind of matter still needed to be asked and discussed.
"With the order, the army will send my troops to Yanzhou!"
Furthermore, under his command are fierce generals like clouds and advisors like rain.
When Yuan Shao didn't listen to his opinion, he knew that Yuan Shao would regret it sooner or later. Now, it has come true.
"Third brother, don't talk nonsense. General Cao welcomes the emperor. He has made great contributions to the country and the country. It is okay for your majesty to reward you!"
Join Yuan Shu?
Come to think of it, even the emperor would probably not allow the two of them to return to Luoyang.
"Your Majesty, I would like to ask your Majesty to move the capital to Xu County!"
Although Yuan Shao now occupies the territory of the three states, Cao Cao's power in Yanzhou cannot be underestimated.
This is the situation now!
…
At this moment, in the small courtyard where Liu Bei lives.
What Sikong!
Why should Cao Cao stand above me?
Jushu next to him was a little helpless. Now that the matter was a foregone conclusion, what was the use of Yuan Shao regretting it!
But those who understand will eventually understand.
"A true man, when you bow down and wait for heaven, don't fight with your fate!"
After all, Yuan Shu also intends to attack Xuzhou. With common interests, it is possible for the two Yuan to unite!
Wouldn't it be nice to let those two guys fight and reap the benefits yourself?
Zhang Fei was a little aggrieved, but Guan Yu who was standing next to him agreed quite a bit.
"What you said is true, but the matter of moving the capital is a top priority. I think this matter should be discussed among all officials!"
At the end of September, Cao Cao led his troops back to Luyang.
In the same month, because Xi Yu repeatedly declined the title of Lord Wu, the emperor promoted Xi Yu to the rank of Grand Secretary of Agriculture!
After the emperor moved to Luyang, Taiwei Yang Biao and others began to advise and urge Cao Cao to take on the task of building the old capital of Luoyang.
Since the political center of Cao Ying was moved to Xu County, Liu Bei seemed to have been ignored.
"Brother, why should Cao Cao be the general? In my opinion, Your Majesty and eldest brother are a family!"
It was really as if he was mocking him.
"This position of general should be held by my eldest brother!"
It may be difficult to defeat Cao Cao in one fell swoop, but if it happens a few more times, Cao Cao will definitely not be able to bear it.
People who don’t know much about it really think that there is some kind of kinship between the actor and the emperor!
Xun Yu shook his head at the side: "Furthermore, Yuan Shu of Huainan has been coveting us, and this time Sun Ce is on his side, so my lord must be on guard!"
After arriving in Luyang, Cao Cao no longer paid attention to Dong Cheng, Yang Biao and others.
He originally had the idea of ​​attacking Xuzhou, but if Yuan Shao intended to attack Cao Cao's Yanzhou, he would not be in a hurry.
No one could have imagined that this would be such a coincidence.
Xun Yu chuckled.
Cao Cao respected the emperor very much and never acted arrogantly during this trip.
The Xi Zhicai on the side also smiled after hearing this.
After learning about Yuan Shao's intention to send an envoy, Yuan Shu's attitude was extremely contemptuous.
Now Cao Ah Man took the opportunity to recommend himself to the emperor.
With the position of general, he is already the most powerful person in the Han Dynasty today.
Jizhou, Yecheng!
After word spread to Yecheng that the emperor had moved the capital to Xu County, Yuan Shao felt a little bad.
"Secondly, this place is surrounded by mountains on three sides. His Majesty established the imperial capital here. You can overlook the mountains and rivers of the Han Dynasty from your seat."
With the power of his great victory, Cao Cao discussed moving the capital again.
If the emperor takes it seriously, then it is true; if the emperor takes it as a joke, then it is just a joke!
For this matter, the focus is on the emperor.
This result is really surprising.
In the main hall of the government office.
If we were to send troops to Yanzhou now and want to defeat Cao Ying in one fell swoop, how could it be that simple?
And Cao Cao even attacked Yuzhou. This time he and Cao Cao were already incompatible.
He also heard about Cao Cao's appointment as general.
Like Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu looked down on Cao Cao.
"Go back and tell your master that we can send troops together, but I must be the leader!"
When the envoy understood what he meant, Yuan Shu scolded the envoy and then began to summon his advisers and generals to discuss how to deal with Cao Cao.
