Crossing the Battle of the Three Kingdoms

Cao Cao said: "Your Majesty, I don't think it is possible to make the daughter of Liaodong Marquis a queen."

"Your Majesty is a man of gold, how can he marry the daughter of a wild man from a mountain village as the queen, and in the future he will preside over the harem. Wouldn't it make the world laugh at him?"

"That's why I think that if your Majesty wants to be a queen, he should choose from a prestigious family or a family of officials. Only in this way can he command the harem, and he has won the hearts of the world."

Why did Cao Cao suddenly object to this? The rumors that they are not good friends are all false.

That's right, there are only permanent interests, and there are no permanent friends.

While the court ministers were thinking about each other, Yan San stepped forward and said: "Lord Cao, my lord has something to offend. Why do you want to insult me ​​like this?"

Cao Cao said: "Everything I said was for His Majesty's prestige, and I didn't intend to target anyone. Although Liaodong Marquis is loyal to the Han Dynasty, his prestige is not enough."

Yan Liang had to ask Yuan Shao to explain that as long as it was unfavorable to Li Huiyi, he would agree to it. How could he give up such a good opportunity at this time.

"Your Majesty thinks that what Master Cao said is reasonable, please think again, Your Majesty."

Representatives of the Yuan and Cao families spoke together, and more than half of the ministers in the DPRK and China quickly agreed.

"I implore Your Majesty to take back the order."

Seeing such a scene, Chen Deng, who had been keeping a low profile all along, suddenly took a step, but quickly took it back, looking hesitant.

The rest of the ministers, all with the mentality of not being offended, remained silent.

If things go well, I'm afraid that the envoy who went to pass the edict has arrived, and now he suddenly changes his mind, wouldn't that be a slap in the face.

Liu Xie said: "The story of the widow's succession has been spread all over the world. If it is withdrawn suddenly, I am afraid that the people will lose their trust. How will the people of the world be convinced in the future."

Cao Cao said: "I am not talented. I would like to present my eldest daughter to the palace to serve your majesty and stop the mouths of the people in the world."

Cao Cao wants to send his daughter to the palace, what is his intention, is it to suppress Li Huiyi?

"Cao Aiqing is really a loyal minister, but the sage metaphor has been published, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to change, so let others think about it."

Seeing that Liu Xie was still unwilling to change his words, Cao Cao bowed his hands and slowly retreated to the queue.

After being disturbed by Cao Cao, Liu Xie's good mood also changed into a bad mood, and he regained his composure for a while before changing the subject again.

"Dear dear friends, the former widow learned from the people of Luoyang that there were many bandits blocking the road along the way, putting the lives of the people in danger. I don't know who is willing to send troops to wipe out the bandits."

Stay away from Luoyang, in case of any sudden change, there is no time to rush back.

When Liu Xie asked the question, he must have wanted to borrow troops from all walks of life outside the city, otherwise Xu Huang would have sent troops.

If you don't do your best, naturally no one wants to take over.

"Sir, I would like to send troops to take over this post." Cao Cao took the job unexpectedly.

Liu Xie said: "Okay, Cao Aiqing is really a loyal minister. When Luoyang is pacified, I will be rewarded."

Cao Cao said: "This is the duty of a courtier, and there is no need for your majesty's reward."

"Okay." Liu Xie nodded and said, "The widow is in Luoyang City, waiting for Cao Aiqing to return in triumph."

Cao Cao was ordered to retreat back to the queue, and then Liu Xie didn't ask any other questions, and the court meeting also dispersed.

When Cao Cao returned to his residence, he began to dispatch troops and generals, as if preparing to wipe out bandits everywhere.

Two days later, Cao Cao dispatched an army of [-], starting from Luoyang. Wherever they passed along the way, the bandits either surrendered or disappeared under the encirclement and suppression of the army.

Moreover, wherever Cao's army went, they were all stationed in the name of Liu Xie. In less than a month, they had conquered all the cities in Hanoi, except Yang Feng and other Baibo troops who were stationed in the city.

Although Hanoi was flat, Cao's army did not stop, and continued to advance, as if he would not give up until he took down one Yin from the four counties of Sili.

When Liu Xie heard the news, he also secretly asked Cao Cao to stop the army from advancing.

But Cao Cao agreed in name, but secretly ignored Liu Xie and continued to let the army advance to Hongnong.

When Liu Xie learned that, he was also annoyed, and wanted to personally name Cao Cao at the court meeting.

Then think that at this time, the big clans from all over the country sent people to overturn the promises they had made on the grounds that they did not dare to send people to contribute food on the grounds that the road was uneven.

The upcoming festive day, but Liu Xie is indeed extremely difficult.

Cao Cao ignored his orders and continued to march into various places in Sili. If this continues, Luoyang will be surrounded by him.

Originally, I just wanted to take advantage of the bandits from all walks of life and weaken the troops of the princes by the way. I thought Cao Cao would have such courage to directly march into the cities.

Right now, riding a tiger is hard to get off, and these aristocratic families have also made trouble, and they have promised to go back on their word at this critical moment.

"Your Majesty, Sirs Dong Cheng and Yang Biao are here."

Liu Xie, who was thinking hard in the inner room, was suddenly interrupted by an eunuch.

After sorting out his mood, Liu Xie said, "Invite them in."

After the eunuch left for a while, the two ministers, Dong and Yang, entered the inner room, knelt down and sat down.

Liu Xie was depressed, so he didn't say much, and went directly to the topic. "Hey, the two of you have a plan to solve the current situation."

The Yang family is the leader of the Sili family, and they are also the chief officials of this grain requisition. Yang Biao knows best about the sudden refusal of the family to donate grain.

Yang Biao said: "Your Majesty, the only thing we can do now is to let Cao Cao continue to recover Sili, otherwise we will face the danger of food shortage."

Chapter 360

Liu Xie frowned, and looked at Dong Cheng with both eyes, wondering if he had any disagreement.

Seeing Liu Xie coming, Dong Cheng said helplessly: "Your Majesty, it is a good thing for Cao Cao to subdue Si Li. After all, what he does is mainly based on His Majesty's orders."

"Furthermore, if Cao's army did not stop, it may be that Cao Cao's generals did it privately. As the saying goes, the generals do not accept military orders abroad."

Although Cao Cao's words were full of respect, Liu Xie couldn't feel at ease under his siege. What he wanted was to firmly grasp freedom and destiny in his own hands.

He has had enough of living as a puppet several times, and he doesn't want to experience it again.

The two most trusted ministers had nothing to do. They agreed to compromise Cao Cao and let Liu Xie come to Luoyang, feeling powerless for the first time.

Liu Xie said: "Okay, at the court meeting tomorrow, the widow will allow Cao Cao to be more convenient, and let him occupy the Sili counties."

Hearing Liu Xie's helpless voice, the two courtiers also looked ashamed.

Seeing the ugly faces of the two, Liu Xie knew that he would have to rely more on them in the future, and he couldn't just see them lose their spirits, so he hurriedly spoke out to comfort them.

Liu Xiedao: "You two lovers don't need to be discouraged. Cao Cao's recovery of Sili is also good for the widow. It is better to face Cao Cao alone than to face dozens of forces. It can save a lot of mind."

Dong and Yang have been officials for many years, and they are both sophisticated and calculating people, so they naturally know Liu Xie's intentions.
