After Cao Cao returned to the camp, Man Chong came to ask for a meeting soon after. Cao Cao finally got his beloved general. He was naturally very happy. He personally welcomed Xu Huang and sat down, then learned about his situation, gave him some condolences, and gave him a reward.
.
After destroying Yang Feng and others, they were basically safe all the way and soon arrived in Xudu. This is Cao Cao's base camp. Just like people who have lived in other places for a long time returned to their hometown, it is difficult to get on the homeland.
As a result, Cao Cao's actions were quick, and he immediately began to establish a ancestral temple, a provincial government office, renovate the city walls and treasury, and then carried out some rewards, and appointed thirteen people including Dong Cheng as marquis, and rewards and punishments in the court.
Is it that Cao Cao is the only one
He made a decision and proclaimed himself the General Wuping Hou, and appointed Xun Yu as the Secretary of the Secretariat, Xun You as the Military Advisor, Guo Jia as the Priest of Sima, Liu Ye as the Chief of the Sikong Warehouse Officer, Mao Jie, and Ren Jun as the General of the Diannong Army
, urged the supervision of money and grain, Cheng Yu was the prime minister of Dongping, Fan Cheng, Dong Zhao was the ruling of Luoyang, Man Chong was the ruling of Xu Du, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong were all generals, Lu Qian, Li Dian, Le Jin, Yu Jin, Xu
Huang was all the lieutenant, Xu Chu and Dian Wei were all the chief lieutenant; the other soldiers were each given official positions.
From this time on, basically, the decision-making power of the court was all over Cao Cao. Cao Cao had to interfere in matters of all sizes, and the ministers also agreed to this situation. If you have any questions, you should report to Cao Cao first, see Cao Cao's attitude, and then go to find Emperor Xian.
illustrate.
After the major events were confirmed, Cao Cao began to think about the situation of the surrounding warlords, set up a banquet, gathered all the strategists and generals to discuss together, and said: "Now Liu Bei is stationing troops in Xuzhou, and recently he has been from Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian.
Get actual power, and Lu Bu also surrendered to him because I was defeated. Now he stationed troops in Xiaopei. If these two people united and attacked me with their troops, it would be a great disaster. I wonder what you have about this.
Good idea, please speak freely and help me eliminate this trouble."
Xu Chu stood up and said, "I hope I can send 50,000 elite soldiers to me to kill Liu Bei and Lu Bu's heads and present them to Prime Minister Cao."
Xun Yu smiled and said, "General Xu has nothing to say on the battlefield. He is the best of the three armies, but he doesn't know how to use his strategy. Now Xu Du has just settled down. Sudden use of troops will cause people's hearts to fluctuate. I have an idea to let the two of them meet themselves.
Killing. Although Liu Bei is now the governor of Xuzhou, he has not received the imperial edict from the court. The lord can report to the emperor to confirm the affairs of Cao Cao's governor of Xuzhou, and then send him a letter to ask him to kill Lu Bu. If this is the case
When something is done, Liu Bei will not have a warrior to assist him. He can slowly find a way to plot against him. It doesn’t matter if he fails. Lu Bu will definitely be suspicious, and the two will definitely kill him."
Xun Yu's move was really clever, and everyone present praised it. Cao Cao quickly adopted his idea and sent someone to report the situation to Emperor Xian, and appointed Liu Bei as the governor of Xuzhou as the General of the East Expedition, Marquis of Yichengting, and then
After the edict, another letter was written and sent to Xuzhou.
In Xuzhou, Yuyi saw the mark again and went to another joint location. This time it appeared red. Yuyi said: "It is said that Cao Cao had gained a lot when he went to Luoyang this time, and he also kidnapped the emperor to Xudu again.
Now.”
red said: "Yes, Cao Cao has many counselors, and he himself is also a very smart person. We have been lurking near Emperor Xian for a long time, and some actions will be restricted when we arrive in Xudu."
Yu Yi said: "You all work cheaply, mainly to save your life. If I don't become enemies with Cao Cao, I don't need too much information, but I still have to master the key information. As for the expenses you mentioned last time
Question, I think I have time to re-plan our organization and cultivate a belief.”
Red said with some confusion: "What belief?"
Yu Yi said: "You don't need to know this. By the way, has Yuan Shao done new moves with Daoxiangcun now?"
He replied: "No, but recently Yuan Shao has defected to many generals and strategists, and his power is getting stronger and stronger."
Yu Yi turned around and said, "Follow these situations closely, oh, did Lu Bu do anything when he heard the news that Cao Cao brought the emperor to Xudu?"
Reply: "Not yet."
Yu Yi handed a letter to red and said, "You can find a way to send this letter to Lu Bu anonymously later. I think Diao Chan's matter should have a conclusion." After that, he turned around and left.
When Liu Bei was in Xuzhou, he heard that Emperor Xian had gone to Xudu and finally got rid of his life of being chased by the rioters. Everything was stable and he was ready to come up with a message to express his congratulations. So he summoned everyone to discuss how to draft this message.
Yu Yi also thought about this for a long time. He remembered that when Jia Xu played chess, he taught himself that every next move would be able to predict more than ten steps, so he also planned Cao Cao's affairs further.
.
At the meeting, Yu Yi also put forward his own ideas and said: "Now Cao Cao uses the excuse to move Emperor Xian to Luoyang, which is actually the same as Dong Zhuo, Li Kui, Guo Si and others before, but it is not as good as they did.
It's just blatant."
Liu Bei said: "We have met Cao Cao during the eighteen princes. His character is not as unbearable as you said. Besides, he has received the favor of the Han Dynasty in his time, so he would not do this."
Yu Yi stood up, a little excited, and said, "Cao Cao is settled in Xudu now, so what will he do next?"
Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Lu Bu attacked his lair before, so he would not want to seek revenge on Lu Bu."
Yu Yi nodded and joked: "I didn't expect that my third brother is not only extremely brave on the battlefield, but also has a very agile thinking!"
Zhang Fei knew that Yu Yi was making fun of him and pushed Yu Yi.
Liu Bei said: "Meng De cannot be such a narrow-minded person, let alone he has settled down in Xudu, and people's hearts are floating, so it is impossible for him to send troops to Xuzhou rashly."
Yu Yi smiled and said, "Brother is right, but have you ever thought about it? In fact, Cao Cao is also afraid of you."
Liu Bei was shocked and said, "The Lord of Xuzhou was not my wish. If possible, he could send someone to take it away at any time. He just needed to assist the Han Dynasty with peace of mind."
Yu Yi sighed in his heart, "My eldest brother is so honest, how could this be the case?"
So he continued to analyze: "Cao Cao must have no reputation for seeking revenge on Lu Bu now, and it will be a matter of time before his plot against Xuzhou. What he is most afraid of now is that you and Lu Bu join forces to attack Xu Du and rob the emperor."
As soon as these words were said, everyone was uproared. Some people thought Yu Yi was saying it very reasonably, while others thought Yu Yi was completely overthinking, too young, and too radical in analyzing things.
Guan Yu also knew what Yu Yi would say next, so he followed: "What you mean is that Cao Cao will find a way to alienate us and Lu Bu and let us kill each other."
