Three Kingdoms: The opening incorporates Li Cunxiao

Chapter 649: Imperial edict arrives, Cao Cao's big move

Sunshine, afternoon, and good wine.

Blue sky, white clouds, and a gentle breeze.

In the past, Guo Jia would go to a place with fireworks to have a few drinks at such times, talk about love with beautiful women over fine wine, say cheap love words, and do some indescribable things he likes.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, the new Prime Minister, also the first Prime Minister of Wei, Xun Yu, reviewed the reports from various places over and over again, and did not forget to greet his friends who were basking in the sun in the courtyard: "Guo Fengxiao, when did you change your nature? Why don't you take advantage of your wife's time to spend time drinking and partying? Why do you always stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

"Wen Ruo, you are already the Prince of Bohai County, are you still worried about that little bit of wine?"

"That's all, it's up to you."

The same situation has been going on for more than a month.

Since the Xiangyang campaign, Guo Jia came here every day, drinking quietly in the courtyard and leaving only after the sun went down.

The station is about to start, and everywhere is busy.

Xun Yu, in particular, was busier than ever, having to review mountains of reports every day.

The Great Wei was newly established and the treasury was not full. Much of the food and supplies were donated spontaneously by all walks of life.

But this chain is too fragile. If the war becomes protracted, the supply chain of food and fodder will become the fatal flaw that destroys the Wei army.

In order to supplement food and military expenses, Xun Yu established several new commercial taxes on top of the existing tax laws and managed to stabilize the situation.

But Guo Jia, who was the Minister of Rites, was not so lucky.

Due to his job, when everyone else was busy, he, the ritual officer in charge of the sacrifices, became the most idle one.

At this critical juncture, it is somewhat inappropriate to be idle.

Of course, Xun Yu knew very well why Guo Jia stayed in the prime minister's residence all day long.

In fact, he was waiting for the imperial edict from Xiangyang. By staying here, he could get the latest news first.

Unfortunately, Cao Cao didn't seem to have any intention of summoning his advisers.

The sun is setting.

Guo Jia drank the last sip of the wine. He always controlled himself very well. He came with a pot of wine and drank it all in one day. When the wine was finished, it was time to leave.

Today seems to be another day of returning without success.

Xun Yu felt a little reluctant and said, "Feng Xiao."

"What's the matter?"

"Feng Xiao has already achieved success and fame. There are many famous generals and warriors in the South. Even if the lord does not call you this time, why should you be disappointed?"

Guo Jia sneered.

His past achievements are enough for him to live on his laurels for the rest of his life.

No, he couldn’t finish it in a lifetime, and there would be enough for his descendants to eat forever.

The problem is that some people find it difficult to adapt to a comfortable life after staying on the battlefield for too long.

This situation does not only occur in warriors.

Besides, Guo Jia knew it very well.

This sudden battle, seemingly a spur-of-the-moment decision made by Boss Cao, may very well be the final battle that will put an end to the chaos in the world.

If you missed it.

"Forget it, maybe you are right. I am leaving now and will come back tomorrow." Disappointment was inevitable. Guo Jia stopped and said again: "Forget it, I will not come back tomorrow. Tomorrow I will go to the courtesan in Cuihonglou to listen to music."

"Why are you doing this?"

Report! ! ! ~~

"Xiangyang, six hundred miles away, rush!"

Report! ! ! ~~

"Xiangyang, six hundred miles away, rush!"

Report! ! ! ~~

"Xiangyang, six hundred miles away, rush!"

After shouting three times in a row, a fast horse stopped in front of the prime minister's residence. The messenger dismounted and ran inside, handing a bamboo tube to Xun Yu:

"Prime Minister, Xiangyang is six hundred miles away, rush."

Xun Yu picked up the bamboo tube and placed it upright on the table, not in a hurry to open it, because at this time Xun Yu had almost guessed the content of the urgent message.

"Fengxiao is not leaving, please go ahead."

"Wen Ruo, you!"

"It's getting late. You still have to go to the courtesan to listen to music tomorrow. You have to rest well and don't let the courtesan laugh at you."

"Bah! When did you learn to behave like this? It's totally disrespectful to society. Okay, if the master summons me, I promise I will never drink wine again."

"A gentleman's word?"

"Hurry up and whip your horse."

As the two of them high-fived, Guo Jia knew that he had actually lost.

Xun Yu could guess, with his intelligence, he could also guess the urgent contents in the bamboo tube.

But at this moment, Guo Jia knew very clearly in his heart what he wanted more.

Living a life of debauchery and extravagance is just a hobby.

To plan strategies on the battlefield, to laugh and chat on the battlefield, and to rule the world in the palm of his hand, was his original and most sincere dream.

Clang.

Xun Yu took out the urgent bamboo slips and spread them out:

"Order, Crown Prince Cao Ang to be regent, Cui Yan to be appointed as the Crown Prince's Grand Tutor, Tian Feng to be appointed as the Crown Prince's Grand Teacher, and Man Chong to be appointed as the Crown Prince's Grand Protector to assist him."

The two of them were stunned at the same time, and after looking at each other, they knew that something big was going to happen.

According to past experience, as long as Xun Yu was in power, it would be impossible for him to come up with three people to share power.

Considering the actual situation, Cao Ang had a gentle and kind nature. Among the three teachers of the crown prince, only Cui Yan was a person who adhered to the correct ethics. The other two were both born into the Legalist family.

Having three people assist the crown prince was equivalent to completely removing Xun Yu.

As one of Cao Cao's most trusted confidants, such an imperial edict was certainly not used to guard against Xun Yu, so there was only one explanation left - Cao Cao wanted to recruit Xun Yu.

really.

"Order Xun Yu, Xun You, Cheng Yu, Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Zhuge Liang, and Pang Tong to hand over their duties and go to Xiangyang to serve as advisors."

There is indeed a big move!

"Order Xiahou Dun, Cao Chun, Cao Hong, Xiahou Yuan, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Taishi Ci, Wei Yan, Hua Xiong, Le Jin, Yu Jin, Pang De, Gao Shun, Li Jue, Xu Rong, Ma Zhong, Huang Xu, Xiahou Ba, Wen Pin, and Chen Dao to have their deputy generals take over and each dispatch 3,000 cavalry and infantry to Xiangyang to serve."

Now, along with the generals who were originally under the command of Jiangxiakou, Cao Cao almost exhausted all the capable generals of Wei.

The Hu people in the north had already been driven to the north by Zhang Wu. They had been frightened by the killings and dared not move further south even though they had received the news that the Wei army's northern defenses were empty.

Now on the grassland,

There is no name more terrifying than "Grassland Devil".

The name Zhang Wu had long been the enemy of their totem, the Wolf God, bringing them suffering, bloodshed, and disaster.

Otherwise, with such a big move, it would be questionable whether we could defend the northern line.

At this point, the two of them had fully understood Cao Cao's intentions.

decisive battle!

Although this war came somewhat hastily, Cao Cao told everyone with his attitude that this war was definitely not a joke.

He wanted to use such an unprecedented battle to add the most dazzling touch to the military career of every meritorious general and top think tank of Cao Wei.
