I was kicked out by Sun Quan, and I turned to Cao thief

Chapter 192 The Yuan brothers fled to Wuhuan
Cao Ren led 20 soldiers and horses to conquer Yuan Tan in Qingzhou

Zhang Liao also led 20 troops to conquer Yuan Xi in Youzhou.

The Xiahou brothers led [-] soldiers and horses to recruit high-ranking cadres in Bingzhou.

Cao Cao is known as the Three Routes of Soldiers and Horses, with a total of one million troops.

At this time, Cao Cao's limelight can be said to be unparalleled for a while.

Today, Prime Minister Cao's great cause has been accomplished, looking at the world, no prince can be called Prime Minister Cao's opponent.

Qingzhou Yuan Tan, Youzhou Yuan Xi, and Bingzhou senior cadres, these three people are just the generation of rich people, the three of them are no match for Cao Cao.

In just three months, Bingzhou high officials surrendered to Cao Cao, and Yuan Xi and Yuan Tan were also defeated and fled to Wuhuan.

Wuhuan is a nomad who has been active in Youzhou for a generation. When Liu Yu was a shepherd in Youzhou, he adopted a soft policy towards Wuhuan.

Liu Yu's soft policy is probably equivalent to the policy towards ethnic minorities in modern society.

The general meaning is to convince people with virtue and give these ethnic minorities various benefits to buy them off.

In this way, although the Wuhuan people were appeased, they would not invade Youzhou again.

However, this also led to the high status of the Wuhuan people in Youzhou, and the local people in Youzhou did not even dare to offend these Wuhuan people.

Gongsun Zan was Liu Yu's subordinate at first, but because Gongsun Zan could not understand Liu Yu's preferential treatment of Wuhuan people.

Therefore, Gongsun Zan killed Liu Yu and took Youzhou Shepherd himself.

After Gongsun Zan became the shepherd of Youzhou, he changed Liu Yu's previous policy of being gentle.

To deal with the Wuhuan people, Gongsun Zan used the method of thunder. As long as the Wuhuan people dared to make trouble, Gongsun Zan would kill them without mercy and show no mercy.

Gongsun Zan's thunderous tactics shocked the Wuhuan people and made the people in Youzhou live a better life.

However, the good times didn't last long, and Youzhou had not been in Gongsun Zan's hands for long, when Yuan Shao called.

After Yuan Shao defeated Gongsun Zan, he handed over Youzhou to his second son, Yuan Xilai.

Yuan Xi is also soft-boned. After he became the shepherd of Youzhou, he picked up Liu Yu's soft-hearted policy again.

I can't wait to worship the Wuhuan people as my ancestors.

Zhang Liao led an army of 20 to fight Yuan Xi. Yuan Xi was no match for Zhang Liao. He was defeated by Zhang Liao, but within three months, Youzhou fell into Zhang Liao's hands.

Yuan Xi fled to the grassland in embarrassment and hid in the territory of the Wuhuan people.

The people of Wuhuan took Yuan Xi in for the sake of Yuan Xi's preferential treatment to them.

Not long after Yuan Xi fled to Wuhuan, his elder brother Yuan Tan was also defeated by Cao Ren. The defeated Yuan Tan had nowhere to go, so he fled to Wuhuan.

The two brothers Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi rely on the protection of the Wuhuan people for the time being.

At this time, the Wuhuan people were also divided into two factions.

One of them is to cooperate with Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi to help them take back Youzhou.

After all, only when Youzhou is under the control of Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi can Wuhuan people enjoy preferential treatment.

If this Youzhou was in the hands of Prime Minister Cao, they would definitely not get any benefits.

The other faction believed that Wuhuan was no match for Cao Cao, so they could only talk but not fight.

People from this faction believe that Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi should be used as bargaining chips to negotiate with Cao Cao.

As long as Cao Cao is willing to agree to keep their Wuhuan's preferential treatment in Youzhou, they will dedicate Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi to Cao Cao.

Today's King Wuhuan is named Tadun, and now Cao Cao has ruled the north, with unrivaled limelight and an army of millions in his hands.

Wuhuan King Tadun felt that Wuhuan was probably no match for Cao Cao, so he also hoped to resolve the issue through negotiation.

As long as Cao Cao camps and guarantees Wuhuan's preferential treatment in Youzhou, Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi will not die, it doesn't matter.

So Wuhuan King Tadun sent his younger brother Lou Ban to negotiate.

The news quickly spread to Yecheng.

After Cheng Yu heard the news, he immediately went to see Cao Pi quietly.

Cao Pi blames people with deep scheming, and he is extremely kind and tolerant.

Cao Pi can be called the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles during the Three Kingdoms period.

Cao Pi has been dormant since the last time Cao Cao wanted to make Su Ming his heir.

This time, Cheng Yu came to find Cao Pi in private, and Cao Pi knew that this must be something important.

"Mr. Zhongde, you came to see me late at night, what do you mean?" Cao Pi asked Cheng Yu.

Cheng Yu didn't give up, and directly stated his intention, saying: "My lord, Wuhuan King Tadun sent someone to negotiate with the lord. This is an opportunity!"

"Didn't you always want to make meritorious service?"

"You are not as good as Su Ming when it comes to fighting, but Su Ming may not be better than you when it comes to negotiating."

"I think, if you go to the lord to discuss this negotiating errand, you will definitely be able to perform well in front of the lord."

Hearing this, Cao Pi's eyes lit up.

Negotiating with the Wuhuan people and appeasing the Wuhuan people, this is no small contribution!
However, before negotiating, Cao Pi also had to figure out a problem.

That is, Cao Cao's idea.

Now, Cao Pi understands that if you want to be valued by your father, you have to be consistent with your father's thinking.

He had to follow Cao Cao's thinking to get Cao Cao's attention.

"Mr. Zhongde, I don't know, does father want to fight or make peace?" Cao Pi asked Cheng Yu.

Cao Pi thought to himself, if his father wanted to fight, he would maintain a tough attitude, and if his father wanted to make peace, he would go to make peace.

Cheng Yu has been by Cao Cao's side for the past few days, and Cheng Yu has mastered Cao Cao's thoughts.

Because of this incident, Cao Cao has already summoned his advisers and held several meetings.

Guo Jia is still the leader of the war faction, but the chief steward Xun Yu is the leader of the peace.

Because there is not much food left.

Although after taking the north this time, they got a lot of money and food from Yuan Shao.

However, while getting these money and food, he also got Yuan Shao's territory!

The big housekeeper Xun Yu meant that the most urgent task now is to stabilize the people's livelihood, at least, it will take two or three years to repair before going to war.

If the war with Wuhuan continues, I'm afraid it will take at least ten years to slow down.

Cao Cao is very wise.

He understood what Xun Yu meant.

After several meetings and research, Cao Cao made a decision, that is to talk first.

Although it is decided to talk, it is not a talk without a bottom line.

Cao Cao's bottom line is to cancel the Wuhuan's preferential treatment.

However, Wuhuan and Han could be allowed to have the same rights.

Within the bottom line, you can talk.

Beyond the bottom line, you can only fight.

After setting the bottom line of this negotiation, then, it is necessary to find a candidate for negotiation.

Now, Cao Cao has not decided on a candidate for this negotiation, so Cheng Yucai came to Cao Pi, hoping that he would take the initiative to invite Ying.

After Cao Pi figured out what his father Cao Cao was thinking, he cupped his hands towards Cheng Yu and said, "Thank you, Mr. Zhongde, for your reminder, Zihuan understands!"
