Guanzhong, Luoyang.

In Luoyang in August, the autumn wind is gradually blowing. In the north these years, autumn and winter have come earlier and become colder. It's only August now, and there's already a bit of chill here, and pedestrians on the road are wearing thicker clothes.

In a mountain village outside the city, Cao Cao's king's car was parked on the roadside.

Cao Cao entered the village and visited the village to learn about the people's harvest this year.

Cao Cao was an expert in using troops, and he was also quite experienced in governing. He didn't just look at reports, he liked to walk around places and take a look. He walked around the village with a proud smile on his face.

People's lives are very good this year, and every household has achieved a good harvest.

The key is that in Guanzhong, all the big families in Guanzhong were destroyed because of Dong Zhuo's disaster and the ravages of Li Jue and Guo Si. Guanzhong has basically no big families and no local influence.

Therefore, in this area of ​​​​Guanzhong, Cao Cao did not have the constraints of a large family. There was enough land to settle the people and enough land for military garrison.

All Cao Cao has to do is immigrate here.

The past two years of farming in Guanzhong have given Cao Cao a large amount of food in his granary. Many people who left Guanzhong came back, and people hiding in the mountains also came out. Guanzhong became more and more prosperous.

Cao Cao returned to the carriage and ordered: "It's still early, let's go to the next village."

"Report!"

At this moment, a soldier rushed over.

The soldiers came to Cao Cao's side, looking anxious, and reported: "I am reporting to the King of Qin that Shangshu Xun has urgent matters. Please ask the King of Qin to return to the Luoyang Palace."

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment and was extremely anxious.

What is it?

Cao Cao has always trusted Xun Yu. With Xun Yu's full assistance, he was able to achieve his current situation. Without Xun Yu's support, he became Queen of Qin and was defeated in Wancheng. It would be very difficult to stabilize the situation.

Xun Yu's words will not be false.

Cao Cao became worried and ordered his people to change direction and return directly to Luoyang. But in Cao Cao's heart, he couldn't help but think about it. What was the urgent matter that Xun Yu mentioned?

Could it be related to the emperor?

As the Shangshu Ling in charge of the Shangshutai, Xun Yu was very steady and sophisticated in handling government affairs. When it comes to the government affairs of the imperial court, Xun Yu can handle everything in an orderly manner.

When he was defeated so miserably in Wancheng, Xun Yu looked calm and calm from beginning to end.

However, what can affect Xun Yu's mood swings is basically related to the emperor.

This is Xun Yu's ideal sustenance.

Cao Cao thought of this and felt a little more at ease. Even if it involves the emperor, it is not a big deal. He closed his eyes and meditated. In less than half an hour, Cao Cao returned to the Prince of Qin's Mansion in Luoyang City in a carriage.

When he entered the hall, he saw Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Zhong Yao, Xun You, Xiahou Dun, Xia Houyuan, Cao Ren and other direct line civil and military officials gathered together with solemn expressions, creating a solemn and solemn scene.

After Cao Cao saw it, his heart skipped a beat.

Such a big battle.

Could it be that the emperor is dead?

Cao Cao took a deep breath, walked up and sat down, and said in a deep voice: "My lords, sit down!"

Everyone thanked them and sat down.

Cao Cao looked at Xun Yu again and said in a deep voice: "Wen Ruo, you said it was an urgent matter. Could it be that the emperor has something wrong?"

"It's not Your Majesty, it's related to Lu Xuan."

Xun Yu nodded and answered.

Cao Cao raised his eyebrows and said, "What did Lu Xuan do? The south has always been stable, and there are no signs."

Xun Yu had deep sorrow in his eyes and said: "Lu Xuan stabilized the south, but hid his whereabouts and quietly went north to Youzhou in the north to persuade Gongsun Zan to surrender."

"Then, Lu Xuan relied on the 4,000 cavalry received from Gongsun Zan, and the support of Xu Wushan's hermit Tian Chou, with less than 10,000 troops, and killed Master Wuhuan Tadun, and killed Lou Ban, Nan Lou, and Su Puyan and Wuyan, the chanyus of Wuhuan, destroyed Wuhuan."

"The Wuhuan of Youzhou have all been destroyed by Lu Xuan. Now Lu Xuan has taken control of Youzhou."

Xun Yu looked helpless.

Lu Xuan captured Youzhou and his power further strengthened. The situation was too difficult.

Cao Cao's heart trembled when he heard this.

The hand he placed on his knee suddenly clenched, and his expression was very serious. The look in his eyes was first shock, then disbelief, then disbelief, then helplessness, then admiration and admiration.

Cao Cao said: "I didn't expect that Lu Xuan was so powerful. He easily destroyed Wuhuan and killed Tadun. He is worthy of being a little fox."

At this point, he suddenly laughed again and said with emotion: "My ideal at that time was to be a general who conquered the West, and to imitate Huo Piao's cavalry and seal Lang Juxu. Unexpectedly, it was Lu Xuan, the boy, who took the lead in destroying He defeated Wuhuan and made great achievements."

"The Wuhuan barbarians often invaded the border, and the Han people on the border had a hard time. Now, Lu Xuan led his people to defeat the many with fewer people, and destroyed Wuhuan. This was a great achievement, and it completely solved the people's crisis. His merits are immeasurable. ah."

Xun Yu solemnly said: "King Qin, now is not the time to talk about Lu Xuan's merits, nor is it the time to praise Lu Xuan. It was Lu Xuan who captured Youzhou. His strength has increased and it is difficult to contain it. We should consider how to deal with it, because the situation is serious changed."

Cao Cao looked around at everyone.

Everyone looked serious, as if the sky was falling.

Only Guo Jia looked at ease.

Cao Cao stroked his beard, without any nervousness, and said with a smile: "My lords, Lu Xuan has captured Youzhou. It's a done deal. You look like Mount Tai is collapsing, but it won't help."

"Everyone has worries."

"However, there is absolutely no need to be so nervous. After all, Lu Xuan has not come to kill him yet, and we can still resist. No matter how bad the situation is, can it be as bad as when Wancheng was defeated in the past?"

"I also want to kill Lu Xuan to avenge Cao Hong and the dead soldiers."

"However, the hostility between me and Lu Xuan does not prevent me from admiring Lu Xuan, nor does it prevent me from appreciating Lu Xuan's contribution to the destruction of Wuhuan. It is also my wish to seal the wolf in Xu and show his power outside the Great Wall."

"Lu Xuan's control of Youzhou has indeed changed the world situation."

"However, there is no need to face a formidable enemy."

Cao Cao shook his sleeves, took a sip of water to adjust his mood, and continued: "What should we do now? What should we do again? What's more, I believe that when Youzhou is in Lu Xuan's hands, Yuan Shao should be the first to be burned. It shouldn’t be us. In that case, why are you anxious?”

When Xun Yu, Xiahou Dun and others heard this, they felt at ease.

Cao Cao is the backbone.

Cao Cao calmed down and everyone was no longer nervous.

Cao Cao changed the topic and continued: "Next, we need to discuss strategies and consider how to deal with it. However, Lu Xuan must also be rewarded for his great achievements. Because Lu Xuan, the King of Wu, was appointed by the imperial court, and he still respected him on the surface. The imperial court. So let’s talk about it, how should we reward it?”
