Three Kingdoms: From Yinlin to Great Wei Xiongzhu

Chapter 167 Is Diao Chan's Body Still So Ecstasy?
"Mr. Cao, in the old days when the Eighteenth Route Kwantung Allied Forces attacked Dong Zhuo, they fought for a piece of jade seal, but at that time... the emperor in Luoyang City, no one cared about him. Only Mr. Cao led his troops to chase him, and he went to Xingyang. Xu Rong's ambush and returned in a big defeat! Do you still remember this past incident?"

Xun Yu took the initiative to mention this past event...

Cao Cao's eyes narrowed, and this was something he could never forget for a long time. It seemed that he was the only loyal minister among all the princes, and the rest had their own ghosts.

In fact, a loyal minister can't save a big man. After that defeat, Cao Cao decided to go his own way!A road that no one has ever traveled before!

This is also a big step in Cao Cao's heart from "capable minister" to "treacherous hero".

but…

What is the connection between these and the passage from Yanzhou to Luoyang today?

"Xun Sima? The Son of Heaven...is very important at any time, but Luoyang City...is just the former imperial capital, or the imperial capital in ruins. It is no different from the Jade Seal of Chuanguo. It is useless to ask for it?"

Cao Cao asked back...

In fact, what he wants to express is that I am now subject to food and grass...

Frankly speaking, I'm a poor guy, it's really useless to ask for Luoyang, I can't afford to fix it!

"Haha..." Xun Yu straightened his beard and pointed out: "Mr. Cao, why do you need to repair Luoyang? Even if you get a piece of ruins, it would be good. The old capital Luoyang and the Chuanguo Yuxi seem to be illusory things, but in fact they no the same."

"After all, Luoyang City is the imperial capital of the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years. No matter how dilapidated and ruined it is, in fact, it has a great role compared to the Jade Seal of Chuanguo!"

"What effect?" Cao Cao suddenly became curious.

Xun Yu paused for a moment before blurting out: "Attract the emperor!"

"The son of heaven was raised in Luoyang since he was a child. He never left Luoyang for more than ten years. Now... being taken captive by Li Jue and Guo Si to Chang'an, he will definitely want to return to Luoyang. Five Elements' deduces that the drought in Sanfu will continue for a year and a half, Li Jue and Guo Si will also be unable to accommodate two tigers in one mountain, and they will meet each other in battle, and these are all opportunities for the return of the emperor to the east!"

"There must be courtiers loyal to the Han Dynasty who will mediate, and people of insight will assist the emperor to return to Luoyang."

"Under the severe drought, Li Jue, Guo Si...the various warlords in Guanzhong are in danger, how can they free up their hands to prevent the emperor from returning to the east? If at this time, Minggong has opened up the road from Yanzhou to Luoyang, Take the first step to welcome the emperor back, so as to order the princes...then..."

Huo…

Although Xun Yu deliberately didn't finish his speech, every word and every sentence passed into Cao Cao's mind. During this time, the touch in Cao Cao's heart was extremely shocking.

Serving the Son of Heaven to beg for disobedience;
Greeting the Son of Heaven to order the princes, although...it seems to be only a few words away, but...the energy contained in this place is immeasurable.

In the past, Lu Yu and Xun Yu proposed to serve the Son of Heaven in order to dissuade the ministers. The purpose was to actively establish a relationship with the imperial court, and follow the imperial court's will to suppress the rebellion...

For this reason... Cao Cao also gained great benefits. The imperial court straightened his position as Yanzhou Mu, and even supported him to conquer Xuzhou...

This also helped Cao Cao's rapid rise within two years, and the "Cao" banner was planted all over every piece of land in the eight counties of Yanzhou and the four counties of Xuzhou.

Today, this major strategic direction is about to undergo some changes.

"Feng Tian Zi" was changed to "Ying Tian Zi";
"Discuss not ministers" was changed to "order princes".

From Cao Cao's point of view, it's more than a step closer to achieve success.

If the emperor can be ushered in, then... Cao Cao is not in charge of the Han court?
Anyone who attacks Cao Cao is attacking the court, is a traitor, condemns the clan of the world, and people of insight will share the same hatred; on the contrary, whoever Cao Cao attacks is justified!
Just imagine, in the past, to attack Tao Qian, you would have to use the name of your father to fake death, and spend all your time...

But if the Son of Heaven is here, Tao Qian is a traitor if he makes up any reason. To attack him... is to punish the thief according to the order, and the world is just!
In this way, in the name of the emperor, he will continue to expand his territory!
Wonderful... Wonderful.

The more he thinks about it, the more Cao Cao can feel the energy of the Son of Heaven!The energy of the imperial court!
This immeasurable energy can make him almost invincible in troubled times.

"Wen Ruo, let me ask you, one mountain in Guanzhong cannot contain two tigers, the land of Sanfu is plagued by locusts, and the emperor returns to the east. Are these the inferences of Lu Gongcao?"

Cao Cao deliberately asked about this point, which seemed very important to him.

Xun Yu nodded. "That's right, I was just talking about the idea of ​​welcoming the emperor, and this...is just an idea, but Lu Gongcao told me based on his insight and the inference of his Onmyoji school that these ideas can all become reality!"

call…

Cao Cao let out a long breath.

Keen, he caught the most critical place at once.

Now, Cao Cao’s greatest obstacle to meeting the emperor is the long distance between Yanzhou and Chang’an, and the complicated situation in Guanzhong. But...if the emperor returns to the east, then...that’s another story. Cao Cao’s Yanzhou is the closest to Luoyang except Yuan Shao and Jizhou. place.

As for the return of the emperor to the east, the most, the most, the most, the most critical point is the chaos in Guanzhong, the drought in Sanfu, and the mediation of loyal ministers inferred by Yu'er!
If it is based on the premise that all Yuer's deduction is correct...

Opening the passage from Yanzhou to Luo is a wonderful move, a wonderful move that opens the eyes of the sky!

Waiting for the emperor to return to the east, Cao Cao went to Luoyang as soon as possible, and then... welcome the emperor to order the princes, that would create another brand new situation.

only…

For a moment, Cao Cao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he felt suspicious.

The chaos in Guanzhong, the mediation of loyal ministers, and the severe drought among the three assistants, it is true... these inferences are all in his Cao Cao's favor, but in fact, these inferences are mysterious and mysterious, even if they are a little bit of a mistake.

Cao Cao opened up Luoyang...it would be useless, this...

call…

Cao Cao exhaled again, he paced left and right, and the atmosphere in the entire lobby suddenly fell silent.

One breath, two breaths...

Ten breaths, twenty breaths!Only the sound of Cao Cao's footsteps and heavy breathing could be heard here. He was thinking, weighing, and making the final decision.

And Xun Yu's eyes were also congealed, he didn't say a word, he knew...whether it was him, or Lu Gongcao, as a counselor, as a staff, they could only propose the strategy, as for whether to adopt it or implement it , It still depends on Cao Cao's meaning!
Thirty breaths!
Forty breaths...

Finally, Cao Cao stopped, and he had made a decision.

"Wen Ruo, I plan to send more emissaries to Guanzhong immediately, and at the same time send more envoys to contact the emperor and the courtiers. In addition... I will also let Zi Lian take [-] troops to clear Yanzhou Tong. There are numerous checkpoints on the road to Luoyang, and various refugees, making perfect preparations for the return of the emperor to the east one day!"

With such words, there is no doubt that Cao Cao believed Lu Yu's deduction...

Whether it is based on the judgment of the situation, or the inference of the Yin Yang family's "five qi and eight luck".

This is a gamble, a gamble!
But Cao Cao is willing to gamble because...his Yu'er has never disappointed him in every judgment, analysis, and prediction of the situation before, and it will be the same this time!
"Cao Gong Mingjian!"

Xun Yu didn't say much. It can be said that Cao Cao never let him down in decision-making.

Cao Cao has never been an indecisive person. What he can see through Xun Yu, Cao Cao must also be able to see, and naturally he can make the most accurate judgment!
"Big brother... big brother..."

At this moment, Cao Hong hurried in, panting and laughing.

Cao Cao turned to face Cao Hong. "Zilian, why are you in such a hurry that you can smile like this?"

"Hahahaha..." Cao Hong felt as if he was about to laugh out loud, "I just received the information from Xuzhou, and this... I sent it to my brother non-stop, eh... Liu Bei's side has been very busy these days..."

Well…

Liu Bei?lively?
Cao Hong's words immediately aroused the interest of Cao Cao and Xun Yu...

"How lively?" Cao Cao asked quickly.

"Isn't this a drought? The crops in Xiapi and Guangling City are also failing...then Liu Bei thought of a way." Cao Hong said in detail, while speaking, he still couldn't stop the smile that was about to come out. "He also asked the common people to eat locusts like his elder brother, and secretly bought a lot of oil from us!"

Uh…

Cao Cao pondered, what's the point of laughing?The method has been copied, isn't this indirectly helping Liu Bei survive the drought?

Just as this thought came into his mind, Cao Hong's voice came out one after another. "It's just, hahaha... hahaha... let me laugh for a while, let me laugh for a while..."

Cao Hong couldn't bear it anymore, he laughed for a while, and after twenty breaths, he patted his chest hard to calm himself down as much as possible, before he said:

"Hey, big brother... I don't know why, but Liu Bei is so evil. It's clear that there is nothing wrong with the people on our side who ate locusts, but on his Liu Bei...everyone who ate locusts was poisoned, even Liu Bei's two brothers are also bedridden, if it wasn't for the timely treatment, they would have been too cold, hahahaha..."

what?
This... what's the situation?
Cao Cao was a little confused, and Xun Yu was also a little confused?Aren't locusts delicious and great tonic?Why... Liu Bei will be poisoned if he eats it?
Don't wait for them to think about it.

Cao Hong's voice came out one after another. "Right now, the whole city of Xiapi is in chaos. According to our report, Liu Bei was carrying thorns on his shoulders to learn how to 'plead guilty to the thorns'. The common people didn’t buy it at all, if the officers and soldiers didn’t stop them, they would have beaten Liu Bei to death! This time...Liu Bei couldn’t steal the chicken...so what! "

Uneducated... That's it, I can't get the words out of my mouth.

Cao Cao and Xun Yu looked at each other...

Xun Yu opened his mouth to remind him: "Stealing a chicken will not make you lose money, beating a dog will not make you get bitten, painting a tiger will not make you a dog, and pretending to be coercive will make you get...cough cough..."

This blurted out Cao Hong's eyeballs. Xun Sima deserves to be a man of culture.

Of course, admiration is admiration, this does not affect Cao Hong's ridicule and ridicule of Liu Bei!

Actually, Cao Cao also wanted to laugh, but...

Both he and Xun Yu smiled lightly, lightly, because...they never understood this matter.

Why are the people in the eight counties of Yanzhou and the four counties of Xuzhou fine after eating locusts?But...the people in Xiapi City and Guangling City were poisoned after eating locusts?

Could it be that Lu Yu, the descendant of the Great Onmyoji... cast some kind of spell?
Shaking his head violently, this is too outrageous.

"What do Xun Sima think?" Cao Hong was still laughing, but Cao Cao had already started to ask...

It's just that if you ask the wrong person, Xun Yu is not an agronomist, how could he understand this.

"Mr. Cao, how can Xun understand this question? I'm afraid I can only ask Lu Gongcao. In the whole world, except for him, the great Onmyoji, there is no one who can answer it."

In the past, Xun Yu felt that Lu Yu's title of Onmyoji was just that...

Now... after experiencing such a thing, and showing so many signs, Xun Yu feels... this Onmyoji school is a bit awesome.

Even...more awesome than their Confucian school!
"Ha ha ha ha…"

Cao Cao laughed heartily, Xuan Qi belongs to Xuan Qi, happiness belongs to happiness.

In fact, his thinking was more far-reaching. Now that there is a severe drought, Yanzhou temporarily stabilizes people's hearts by eating locusts. This matter... cannot be hidden.

Other states and counties will definitely follow suit, but... Liu Bei's side... is poisoned by eating locusts, then... it will be interesting.

Whether it is the curse of the Yin Yang school or the spell, if only the locusts in the eight counties of Yanzhou and the four counties of Xuzhou can eat them, and the locusts in other states and counties cannot eat them, Cao Cao will be so happy!
The feeling of not being able to copy homework by others is very comfortable!

"Big brother, big brother... what else is there, what else is there?" Cao Hong laughed for a while, but finally realized that there are other things, he can't laugh, and it's time to talk about the business.

Xun Yu handed him a cup of tea to moisten his throat, so don't laugh out loud...

"Brother... There is another outrageous incident in Xiapi City!"

Cao Hong said loudly: "People say that Lu Bu's concubine, Diao Chan, is beautiful and beautiful, and looks like a closed moon. Big brother, guess what? Lu Bu actually asked Diao Chan to dance for Liu Bei...or dance in his dormitory, that's nothing, Zhang Fei Thinking that Lu Bu was going to seduce his elder brother with his own women, he broke in with that tough zhangba snake spear, and fought with Lu Bu, if Liu Bei and Diao Chan didn't stop him separately, he might be stabbed and become popular !"

Heh, what Cao Hong said directly made Cao Cao amused.

As Yu'er expected before, Xiapi City was in chaos... Did it come so quickly?
Previously, Cao Cao believed in Yu'er's prediction, but... after all, he never expected that it would be because of the dispute caused by his concubine Diao Chan, and they would fight.

Having said that, Cao Cao once met Diao Chan in Situ's Mansion, her figure, her appearance... most importantly, she is Lu Bu's wife now, it seems... as if... like, eh... think about it, if you can... cough cough... definitely Very ecstasy!

Ahem...

Seemingly realizing that he was thinking wrong, Cao Cao coughed lightly, and continued to ask: "What happened after that? After the big fight? How did Liu Bei deal with it?"

"He sent Lu Bu to Xiaopei to provide food and grass, but this Lu Bu did not change his mind. He said that his wife, Mrs. Yan, died in Puyang City. As soon as he arrived in Xiaopei, he married Cao Bao's daughter and held a big banquet in Xiaopei. You talk about Lu Bu, you are an asshole, how can you let a concubine dance and seduce others one moment, and the next moment... marry someone else's daughter before his wife's bones are cold, you are an asshole, you are an asshole!"

hiss…

From Cao Hong's words, Xun Yu keenly grasped some additional information.

He hastily reminded: "Mr. Cao, this Cao Bao is the commander of the Danyang soldiers in Xiapi City, holding the military power in his hands! Lu Bu openly held a big banquet in Xiaopei. This is a demonstration to Liu Bei!"

"Hahahaha...I know!" Cao Cao laughed heartily. "Lu Gongcao has mentioned many times before that Xiapi City is in chaos and the situation is very complicated. Liu Bei couldn't grasp it at first, let alone Lu Bu got involved again... I just never thought that the chaos would come so quickly. It's like a sudden storm, hahahaha... I feel relieved that he is in such a mess here, and I can turn my eyes to Luoyang City."

"Yeah..." Xun Yu laughed out loud while wiggling his beard.

and many more…

He suddenly thought of something. "Cao Gong, have you forgotten? The information on the Jianghuai line that you just received this morning?"

Well…

Cao Cao was taken aback for a moment, and immediately recalled that the front line of Jianghuai was the information about the movement of Yuan Shu's army!
"Xun Sima was talking about Yuan Shu's gathering of troops and horses, intending to go north?"

"Exactly!" Xun Yu nodded, and he sighed: "The chaos in Xiapi City is not just Liu Bei, Lu Bu and those entangled native forces, if Yuan Shu gets involved again, it will really be a mess. Already!"

Hahaha…

Cao Cao laughed immediately, three women in one drama!

The six forces in Xuzhou City are about to form the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period?

...Haha... This loud laugh made Cao Cao smile very brightly.

Isn't it just that, now because of the problem of locust poisoning, the hearts of the people in Xiapi City have rioted.

Coupled with the relationship between Lu Bu and Cao Bao's son-in-law, and the internal strife among the three parties in Xiapi City, if... plus Yuan Shu's soldiers approaching the city, it is really enough for Liu Bei to eat a pot!
As for Yuan Shu and Lv Bu, Yuan Shu and Liu Bei, Liu Bei and Lv Bu... what kind of chaotic chapters will be written under the intertwined relationship between them, Cao Cao will wait and see for a while.

Thinking of this... Cao Cao wanted to continue laughing, but he thought of another thing, something he was also very concerned about.

"Xun Sima..."

Cao Cao's face became a little more serious. "The upland rice and paddy rice planted by Yuan Rang's troops? How is it growing?"

lack of food…

This is still Cao Cao's most concerned issue now. Eating locusts can only solve the emergency for a while, but... in the long run, it still depends on the harvest of the rice.

Even, the harvest of this rice determines whether the military rations are sufficient. The so-called three armies have not moved, and the food and grass go first...Going to Luoyang to meet the emperor also needs sufficient food!
Now, in mid-July, according to Yu'er's words, in August... the rice can be harvested!

This…

Facing the question of upland rice and rice growth, Xun Yu paused for a moment, and then answered loudly. There are only eight words, which are concise and to the point!

——"Cao Gong, don't worry!"

——"The growth is gratifying!"

...
