Cao Wei's war in Youzhou is progressing smoothly.
Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi were as afraid of Cao Wei's army as tigers. They lost consecutive battles and fled to Goguryeo. It was freezing cold in Goguryeo and the mountains were blocked by heavy snow. Cao Cao had no choice but to camp at Wangping.
"Your Majesty, news came from the Chang'an Hidden Guards," Xun You said. "After Liu Ye's incident came out, the Jing Palace was suddenly under martial law, but it soon returned to normal. I don't know what happened inside."
"Where is Liu Ye?" Cao Cao asked hurriedly.
Xun You shook his head: "Liu Ye is still the right prime minister of Dajing and has not been punished."
"hiss!"
Cao Cao took a breath.
Zhang Xiu was able to deal with such a major matter in a low-key manner. This high-level city was really scary. After this incident, Liu Ye may have become even more loyal to Zhang Xiu. Zhang Xiu's operation turned the crisis into safety and deepened the relationship between the emperor and his ministers.
"Such an opponent really embarrasses me!" Cao Cao's expression was a little complicated.
While I was happy to meet such an opponent in my life, I also felt very anxious and sad, but also felt a bit like a hero cherishing each other.
"Your Majesty," Xun You said, "the Yuan brothers are like lost dogs. Even if they unite with Wuhuan, they are not enough to support them. They can order a general to continue marching eastward. Our army has been tired of fighting for many years and has long been tired of war. We can return to Xudu to rest." . After the Jing army marched south to Yizhou, they stationed troops early to recuperate. There will definitely be action in the coming year, so we must be on guard against it!"
"Um!"
Cao Cao twirled his beard and thought, "Zhang Xiu has made other preparations, and we must not be unprepared. Let Zhang He and Cao Hong lead 30,000 troops to prepare for another battle in the spring, and the rest of the army will return to Xudu."
So, Cao Wei's army began to return.
The army and horses had just crossed the Yellow River, and shocking news came from the hidden guards: Cao Cao's eldest son, Cao Ang, the Yecheng guard, was beheaded by Liu Ye at the gate of Yecheng.
Xun You and Guo Jia were the first to learn the news, and their faces were numb with fear.
What is Jingguo doing?
Neither country has made sufficient preparations. Are they trying to force Cao Cao to rush into a war because he is too angry?
Guo Jia and Xun You stood there, thinking sharply about the current world situation and the gap between Jing and Wei. If Cao Cao couldn't bear such a severe blow, what would be the consequences of going to war in anger?
Where is the best place to start?
After thinking intensely about all aspects, Guo Jia and Xun You were already sweating coldly. No matter which angle you attack Jingguo from, the highest possibility is that both sides will suffer losses, and the probability of victory is less than half.
Moreover, Wei State is not well prepared at the moment. If it starts a war rashly, the consequences will be disastrous.
When the two people's eyes met, they both saw the intention to dissuade.
In any case, there must be no war at this time.
After discussing the countermeasures, the two went to Cao Cao's Chinese army tent. As luck would have it, Cao Cao suffered from a headache again. He lay on the bed and groaned, sucking the cold air from his teeth and holding his forehead with his hand.
"Kings!"
The two came in and bowed down.
Cao Cao had a headache and didn't want to open his eyes, so he waved his hand casually: "What's the matter?"
Guo Jia couldn't bear it, but he had to say it, so he said slowly: "Last time we set up a counter-intentional plan to kill Liu Ye, but the plan failed and instead made Liu Ye angry."
Cao Cao bared his teeth and said disdainfully: "So what?"
Guo Jia said: "Liu Ye's soldiers went out to Duyang City and designed to capture Young Master Ang alive. He..." Cao Cao suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Guo Jia and Xun You with lightning eyes. Seeing that the two of them spoke in vain and looked away, A bad premonition arose in my heart, and I asked urgently: "How is my son? Tell me quickly!"
Guo Jia bit the bullet and said: "He actually ignored the friendship between the two countries and beheaded the young master under the city."
"ah--!"
Cao Cao felt suddenly dizzy and had a splitting headache. After screaming, he fell straight back.
Guo Jia and Xun You were so frightened that they rushed over in a hurry, shouting: "Send to the doctor quickly, send the doctor to the doctor quickly!"
Not long after, Cao Cao woke up faintly.
Thinking of the murder of his eldest son Cao Ang, I felt pain and hatred in my heart. I gritted my teeth and said with a vicious light in my eyes: "Old Liu Ye! He is so brave!!"
Guo Jia and Xun You had never seen Cao Cao like this before, and they were so frightened that they dared not speak.
The strategy I had thought up before suddenly didn’t know how to speak.
Cao Cao asked sharply: "Who is assisting the young master in Yecheng?"
The veins on Xun You's forehead twitched wildly, and he felt a bit uneasy and worried: "It's...Chen Qun."
Cao Cao was furious: "Isn't Chen Qun a well-read poet and well-versed in the art of war? How could he let his son die? Order...ahem!" Before he could finish his words, he was already blushing and panting violently. 's coughing.
Guo Jia immediately went over and stroked his back: "Your Majesty, today it has been decided that the Wei Dynasty will take over the land of Jizhou and Youzhou. When it is time to recuperate and recuperate, we must not raise an army out of anger. I hope your Majesty will express my condolences to you for this revenge." This is the hatred of our country, the Wei Dynasty, and we must avenge it. It only takes three years to avenge Dajing in a decisive battle."
Xun You didn't dare to speak.
Guo Jia is Cao Cao's confidant. Guo Jia can say these words but he can't, so he can only lower his head and agree.
Cao Cao shook his head sadly and said nothing.
After a long time, I regained my breath, and my face was filled with tears of grief: "How can I not know that the time for the decisive battle in Jingguo has not yet come, but Liu Ye has bullied others too much! How can I swallow this breath?"
Guo Jia didn't dare to persuade him any more.
At this time, Cao Hong and Cao Ren walked in and said angrily: "Old Liu Ye dares to be so bold. You really don't take the Wei Dynasty seriously. Your Majesty, please go to war. If Jingguo doesn't hand over Liu Ye, I swear." Don’t give up!”
"Yes! Please give the king an order!" Cao Ren said.
Cao Cao put away his sad expression, his face was livid, his eyes were filled with cold light, and he looked at Cao Hong and Cao Ren quietly.
They were so frightened that they lowered their heads and dared not speak.
Cao Cao said in a cold voice: "The eldest son Cao Ang sacrificed his life for the country, and I will pursue him as King Peifeng! When you retire, don't talk nonsense about revenge in the army! This revenge goes deep into the East China Sea, and I must avenge it, but Not today.”
"Here!"
Cao Hong and Cao Ren did not dare to say anything more, lowered their heads and retreated.
The tent instantly became quiet.
Cao Cao felt that the nerves in his scalp were beating, and needle-like pain was piercing from all directions. His eyes seemed to be burning, and his brain was dizzy. He raised his bloodshot eyes and looked at Guo Jia and Xun You.
Sighing: "Gu is not a mediocre person. How could he not know that this is Liu Ye's plan? It is really a good plan that kills two birds with one stone! It can kill Gu Zi to take revenge, and it can also anger Gu and raise an army, disrupting the progress of our Wei Dynasty. ." Then he waved his hands and said, "Go down, you can't lose an inch!"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
Guo Jia and Xun You said in unison, "I resign!"
As soon as the two people walked out of the tent, Cao Cao's grief-stricken cries could be heard inside.
Xun You thought of Liu Ye's message in his mind: "Use the other's way to repay the other's body, yesterday's blood debt!" Pay with blood today! ', I thought to myself that it was a good thing I didn't say anything, otherwise I might really not be able to bear it.
The two of them met their eyes, sighed and left.
