Chapter 764: Huangfu Chaobo's Encirclement

Cao Cao thought of the war last year. He persuaded Yuan Shao with a humble attitude, and then painstakingly planned for several months. He led the army to travel for more than a month, and finally got the two counties of Xuzhou. However, Huangfu Chaobo easily got Chenliu. This time, Huangfu Chaobo got a big advantage again.

That's not all. Now all the princes in the world want to mobilize troops, and you don't say anything. For example, Gongsun Zan directly drove his superior, the governor of Youzhou, to a place where no one lives, and you, the emperor, didn't say a word. You know, Liu Yu is still your emperor's uncle.

Yuan Shao took half of the Pingyuan County of Qingzhou without saying a word last year, and beat his superior, the governor of Jizhou, so that he only had one county left. Now he is still relying on his allies to survive, and he has not been swallowed by Yuan Shao, and you, the emperor, have not said a word.

Yuan Shu, a rear general, first occupied Nanyang, then sent troops to occupy Yangzhou, and later sent troops to attack Runan, making trouble everywhere. Did your emperor say a word?

I finally conquered two counties in Qingzhou, and before I could catch my breath, your emperor's reprimand arrived. Don't you look down on me? It's simply contempt. . .

With Cao Cao's temperament, he would never lose his temper like this under normal circumstances, but this time, Cao Cao was angry, uncontrollably angry, smashed a lot of things in his study, and killed two maids who went in to bring him tea and clean up the study.

So no one dared to step into the study door again. Fortunately, Cao Cao's eldest son Cao Ang and nephew Cao Anmin, who saw the bad situation, immediately sent people to invite Xiahou Dun and Cao Ren. Now the two of them just returned to report on their work and are both in Changyi City.

Half an hour later, the two arrived together, followed by Cao Ang and Cao Anmin. Seeing them arrive, the guards finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Cao Ren waved his hand to drive the guards out of the study, asked his two nephews to guard the door, and then stepped into the study with Xiahou Dun.

As soon as they entered the study, they were stunned to see the mess everywhere, especially the two maids were still lying in a pool of blood. Cao Ren frowned slightly, turned back and said to the outside: "Ziyou, send someone to clean up the room!"

"Yes, uncle, nephew will send someone to clean up immediately."

As he said, Cao Ang led several guards to carry the body of the maid in the study out, and asked people to put away the messy books and documents. Then he waved his hand to lead the guards out of the study, and then gently closed the door.

"Why is Meng De so out of control?" Cao Ren said softly;

"Zixiao, Yuanrang," Cao Cao panted, calmed down a little in front of his family brothers, sat down slowly, and said: "Why are you here?"

"Ziyou came to us and said that Meng De was in the study, furious, and even executed two servants in succession. I don't know what happened?"

"Zixiao, Yuanrang, you came at the right time. I just wanted to invite you to discuss something." As he said, Cao Cao handed the emperor's rebuke to the two.

The two took the edict and looked at it, and they were also very angry. Finally, they understood what Cao Cao was angry about. Compared with Xiahou Dun's anger, Cao Ren was still a little more rational. After thinking for a while, he said: "According to Meng De's opinion, how should we act?"

After talking to the two, Cao Cao finally calmed down. However, the two were also very dissatisfied with the emperor's actions this time. After discussing for a while, the three decided to unite a group of princes again to curb the development of Huangfu Chaobo's power.

So, after the three of them discussed, they ordered the guards to invite Cheng Yu, Xun Yu and Sima Yi. They were going to discuss carefully how to persuade the princes to join forces again.

A moment later, the three of them arrived at the governor's mansion one after another.

Cao Cao told the three of them about the matter again, and then said: "I want to unite the princes to send troops to Sizhou again, one to curb the development momentum of Huangfu Chaobo, and the other to vent my anger. So I invited all three gentlemen to discuss carefully how to arrange it.

"

Although Cao Cao was talking to the three of them, his eyes were looking at Sima Yi, the youngest. Xun Yu was good at internal affairs, and he was the undisputed number one in internal affairs in Cao Ying. Cheng Yu was good at military strategy and ruthless. It was his idea to use dried human meat as military rations in Xuzhou in history. Sima Yi was smart and strategic, and good at planning. Cao Cao proposed strategies for several times, and then they were carefully planned and implemented by others.

Now, everyone in Cao Ying doesn't look down on the young Sima Yi. In addition to the last time he sent troops to Xuzhou, this time he sent troops to Qingzhou was also his idea. Although he didn't achieve the goal of taking Qingzhou, he also gained half of Qingzhou's territory. It can be said that in less than a year since Sima Yi joined Cao Ying, Cao Cao's army has added four counties.

It is precisely because of such merits that his position in Cao Ying quickly ranked after Xun Cheng and sat firmly in third place. There is another reason why Cao Cao and his people looked at Sima Yi, that is, the Henei family headed by the Sima family was basically swept away by Huangfu Chaobo. Although the personnel of each family are basically there, more than half of the savings of hundreds of years have fallen into Huangfu Chaobo's hands.

Moreover, each family can only stay in Luoyang City with some wealth as a rich man, which makes Sima Yi hate Huangfu Chaobo abnormally. As long as it is about dealing with Huangfu Chaobo, Sima Yi will never back down.

Sure enough, seeing Cao Cao looking at him, Xun Cheng and the other two also turned their heads to look over. Sima Yi did not say much, but stood up and bowed, saying: "My lord, several generals, several adults, regarding this matter, I have been thinking about this issue since the last battle in Xuzhou. For several months, I have already had a rough outline, and it just so happens that this time the court gave us an excuse. Here, I will first throw out a brick to attract jade, and please supplement the shortcomings of the lord and you."

Sima Yi told everyone his ideas one by one.

After listening to Sima Yi's words, everyone applauded. In Sima Yi's plan, all the princes around Sizhou were included in the alliance.

Yuan Shao of Jizhou, Lu Bu of Bingzhou, Guo Li of Yongzhou, and Yuan Shu of Yangzhou all took action. According to Sima Yi's idea, even if he could not defeat Huangfu Chaobo in one battle this time, he would return to the point where he only had a dozen cities around Luoyang.

At that time, Yuan Shao occupied Henei, Lü Bu occupied Hedong, Guo Li occupied Hongnong, and Yuan Shu sent troops to Yuzhou, but Cao Cao did not want him to occupy too much of Yuzhou. As for Cao Cao himself, he first set his sights on the area east of Hulao Pass, and after it was stabilized, he would plan to capture the remaining cities in Qingzhou and Xuzhou.
