The Supreme Call of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 516
It took ten days, a full ten days, before Cao Cao's convoy arrived at Xudu City. Now Cao Cao is so ill that he can hardly even sit up.

For ten days, Liu Xiao was not idle. After all, Sili and most of Yuzhou were Cao Cao's territory. Although Liu Bei was very troubled, Cao Cao's foundation was still there. He captured Liu Bei alive, drove away Lu Bu, and returned. When they arrived in Xuducheng, Liu Xiao released the officials in prison.

After all, it is impossible for Liu Bei to kill all the officials. Most of these officials have the support of family power behind them. If there were more words, it would definitely put him in the situation Wan Fu pointed out.

The officials were released and took their respective positions. Not to mention anything else, at least there is no problem in stabilizing the situation in the Gyeonggi area.

Liu Xiao is not too polite. Since Cao Cao has already conceded defeat, he has to prepare in advance for accepting Sili Yuzhou and other places. The first step is to control these cities and government affairs by himself. Naturally, there is no problem with military defense. , now most of Cao Cao's army has been incorporated by himself, and he still has tens of thousands of troops in his hands, so he is not afraid of trouble; the next thing is general affairs, which is also the most important, and the people's livelihood in the capital area must not be delayed.

Liu Xiao gave an order to mobilize Fang Xuanling, Liu Bowen, Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Kong Rong and others to come to Xudu. Besides these few people, Liu Xiao also began to recruit people from Jizhou, Qingzhou, Yanzhou and other places to enrich the area around Gyeonggi. , there are not enough middle and high-level officials, how to control the situation in Gyeonggi, where is it so easy?
Xun Yu is a prominent family in Yingchuan, and Kong Rong is a famous scholar all over the world, Confucian orthodox, only with these people can he truly grasp the center of the Han Dynasty.

Of course, the most important thing is Zhuge Liang. Unfortunately, Zhuge Liang is still confronting the cavalry outside the Great Wall in Changshan County.

Xun Yu and the others are still on their way here, but Liu Xiao has already begun to order to adjust the military deployment again. The 7 troops can't all stay in Xudu. Jizhou and Bingzhou are very dangerous now, and even Youzhou is still there. Temujin was in control, and no one knew whether Temujin would have a backhand. Once Temujin made another move, Liu Xiao was not sure whether Yue Fei and Zhuge Liang could stop it with only [-] or [-] troops. Temujin fought back.

With Liu Xiao's order, only Zhao Yun was left by his side, and the rest of the generals and [-] Buqi were all sent back to Shangjun to help Yue Fei.

Cao's mansion.

Cao Cao was lying on the sickbed, surrounded by more than ten advisers and generals under his command.

Cao Ren, Xiahoudun, Cao Hong, Cao Zhang, Xu Chu, Yang Jiye, plus Sima Yi, Jia Xu, Chen Qun, and Hua Xin, this is almost all of Cao Cao's team.

"My lord, I don't understand, I don't understand, why do we all submit to Liu Xiao!"

Xu Chu roared in a low voice, "Although we have suffered heavy losses, it does not mean that we have no chance. Now that Liu Bei has been captured alive and Lu Bu has been driven away, this Sili is still our Sili, and Xu Du is still our Xu Du. All you need is an order from the lord, and the general will bring someone to capture Liu Xiao for you! Let him completely surrender to you!"

Xiahou Dun snorted coldly and said: "My lord, what Zhongkang said is right. Now Liu Xiao is only surrounded by Zhao Yun. Although there are 1 elite soldiers, we have at least [-] soldiers in our hands. The strength is by no means stronger than Liu Xiao's." Weak at the slightest bit, just taking advantage of the main force of Liu Xiao's army, we captured and killed Liu Xiao in one fell swoop, so as to avenge Miaocai!"

"shut up!"

Cao Cao struggled with difficulty, and shouted in a low voice, "What do you know? I'm near the end of my life, even if you can drive Liu Xiao out of Xudu, or even kill Liu Xiao here, what's the point? Which one of you can compare to Yue Fei, which one of you can compare to Zhuge Liang, which one of you can compare to Gao Chong? Once I die, Zihuan and others are still young, their prestige is not enough to convince the public, and their ability is not enough to govern the country. If we can keep our foundation, let alone unify the world, when the time comes, the trees will fall and the monkeys will be scattered, not to mention the foundation of the Cao family and Xiahou family, together with all of you, will face disaster!"

Everyone fell silent immediately, Cao Cao was right, even if Liu Xiao was killed, then Yue Fei and Zhuge Liang would surely raise troops to avenge him, and a hundred thousand troops invaded Xudu, with so few troops under his command, it was not Yue Fei at all Waiting for someone's opponent, I'm afraid that Xu Du can be taken down in a matter of minutes, and no one present can even try to run away, they all have to become their prisoners! @
Cao Cao went on to say: "Also, Temujin's cavalry is now watching Bingzhou. Once I die, only Liu Xiao can command hundreds of thousands of people in the world to fight against Temujin. Once Liu Xiao is also dead , then the entire Central Plains don’t even want to compete against Temujin’s iron cavalry, when the time comes when foreign races outside the Great Wall enter the Central Plains, tens of millions of Li people will be slaughtered, and their lives will be ruined, do you all want to become sinners of China?”

Sima Yi sighed: "Time, fate, and luck have their own destiny. My lord, you were too indulgent to Liu Bei before this disaster happened. Otherwise, without Liu Bei making waves, even if we suffered serious losses , as long as Liu Xiao is repelled, with our strength, it is still possible to turn the situation around, now..."

Cao Cao shook his head and said, "The important thing now is not how to deal with Liu Xiao. I don't allow any of you to deal with Liu Xiao! Ziyu and Changwen, you are all respected scholars. , one is to hold a funeral, and the other is to choose a new king..."

Chen Qun smiled bitterly and said: "What my lord said is true, but after the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the rise of princes, most of the Han clan clans have withered away, and there is not even one direct line of Guangwu left. It is not so easy to choose a new king... "

As soon as Chen Qun finished speaking, there were hurried footsteps outside the door. Cao Zhen pushed open the door and came to the couch, bowed and said, "My lord, Liu Xuanqian and General Zhao Zilong are asking to see you outside the gate of the mansion!"

Everyone was startled when they heard the words, Xiahou Dun shouted: "Zidan, how many of them are here?"

Cao Zhen quickly replied: "Uncle, there are only the two of them, in plain clothes, without even guards!"

Cao Cao took a deep breath, and said with difficulty: "Order the people to open the middle door, Zihuan and Ziwen, go out on behalf of the father to welcome General Xuangan in, remember, when facing Xuangan, you must be polite to your son and nephew, and you must not be rude! "

amount……

It didn't matter to Cao Pi, Cao Zhang was indeed full of reluctance. He had suffered a lot when he fought against Liu Xiao many times.

"Father!"

Just as Cao Zhang was about to speak, Cao Pi yanked his sleeve severely, signaling Cao Zhang not to be troublesome.

Isn't it just a courtesy?Liu Xiao is friends with his father as equals. Although he is only in his thirties, he is well-known in Huayi. Even if he lowers his stature, the two brothers will not suffer. This will make their father furious, but the two brothers will not suffer. !
