Chapter 229: Cao Cao's Reaction Is Quick

Yecheng.

State Shepherd House.

Follow Yuan Tan into the hall.

Yuan Shao stood up from the mat, "Tan'er, if it's about welcoming His Majesty, you don't need to talk about it."

Yuan Tan stopped. Obviously, his father had already made a decision, and like in history, he would not go to meet Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.

He didn't answer, but said to the surrounding people: "Go down first."

The servants around bowed their heads and retreated.

"Father, let me ask you a question." Yuan Tan said.

"Then... you can ask." Yuan Shaoben said to leave immediately, but he was too lazy to listen to persuasion.

You must know that Tian Feng Jushou just left, and his head is still hurting now.

"Father, do you want to be emperor?"

"!!!" Yuan Shao hurriedly looked around.

no one.

Only then was he relieved.

Looking at Yuan Tan in front of him.

Tan'er, do you think Dad doesn't want to be an emperor?

If we don't want to be emperor, why are we father and son still fighting with others?

As far as the prestige of our Yuan family is higher than that of the Zhen family, which princes in the world will not come to curry favor?

Yuan Shao wasn't boasting, if he only wanted to be a rich man, as long as there were still nobles, the Yuan family would not be able to collapse. This is the case with anyone who becomes an emperor.

In fact, he didn't even have the idea of ​​becoming an emperor at first.

But as the power grows, people will always have some ideas.

As for Yuan Tan, from the moment he was reborn, becoming an emperor was one of his more important goals.

Let's not talk about other more important ultimate goals for now.

At this moment, he said: "Father, if you don't say anything, I will acquiesce.

In fact, you don't feel ashamed to admit it all the time. We are all on our own, so don't carry me behind your back. "

Yuan Shao blushed a little when he was told.

Who in this world doesn't want to be an emperor?

Tan'er, don't you want to be the emperor?

Yuan Shao nodded as he was forced to admit it.

Yuan Tan became serious, "Since you always want to be the emperor, then you have to think about how to be the emperor in a legitimate way."

"How do you say that?" Yuan Shao also asked seriously.

Yuan Tan was even more serious, "Although history is written by the victors, my Yuan family's four generations and three princes, the glory of more than a hundred years, cannot be erased in the long river of history."

Yuan Shao was startled, "Go ahead."

Yuan Tan continued: "I am the emperor for four generations and three generations. No matter how my Yuan family wipes it out, it can't cover up that we are traitors who seek to usurp the throne."

Yuan Shao's whole body was shaken, sweating profusely.

This is true.

Four generations and three princes, the most honorable and loyal courtier of the Han Dynasty in the past century.

Even if it is true to unify the world, as long as you ascend the throne and proclaim yourself emperor, you will be infamy from generation to generation.

Moreover, he is the greatest traitor in the world throughout the ages.

Wang Mang had to step aside.

Only when Duke Zhou also usurps the throne, can he be able to sit on an equal footing with the Yuan family.

Yuan Tan looked at the dazed old man, walked in quietly at this moment, and whispered: "It's different to give up..."

Suddenly he felt a tightness in his wrist.

Yuan Shao held it tightly, "Tan'er, I have made up my mind. I will immediately send troops to welcome Your Majesty. No matter how much it costs, I will welcome Your Majesty to Yecheng."

Yuan Tan felt that Guo Jia really deserved to be a ghost, and he got things done with just a few words.

An hour later.

In Yuan Shao's hall, it's not just him and Yuan Tan.

All the important civil and military members of the Yuan family have arrived.

At this moment, Tian Feng Jushou and others were discussing a lot, and they didn't know why they were summoned suddenly.

But judging by the neatness of the staff, something must have happened.

Shaoqing.

Yuan Shao came out with fast pace, followed by his three sons.

At this moment, Yuan Shao stood in the middle of the hall, with Yuan Tan and the other three beside him.

Facing the civil and military people in the hall, he solemnly said: "I have made up my mind, I will send troops in the future, King Qin will protect me!"

Everyone was very surprised. You must know that although Yuan Shao didn't make a statement yesterday, he was very reluctant to let everyone know.

Especially those of the lineage of these three sons, you must know that they are the backbone of the opposition to sending troops.

But at this moment, their highest representative, Yuan Shang, also showed firm support.

What exactly happened that made the Yuan family, father and son, unite like never before?

Especially the Eldest Young Master and the Third Young Master who have always been against each other for 'fighting and killing' have also come together.

It's just inexplicable.

However, at this moment, the Yuan family was united like never before.

Ever since.

Working together, the power of the Yuan family's think tank is also revealed because of unity.

A strategy for advancing troops was quickly formulated.

The most important thing is the route of entry.

Because there are many mountains in the northwest of Yecheng.

It is definitely not conducive to the operation of the army, especially the transportation of grain and grass materials.

So the Yuan family needed to cross the Yellow River from Yanzhou to Luoyang.

First pass through Dongjun, then arrive at Guandu, and finally arrive at Luoyang.

Dongjun is now Lu Bu's territory, because of Yuan Tan's relationship, there is no problem.

And Guandu and other places are not under Cao Cao's control now.

...

The emperor of the Han Dynasty returned to the east, and ordered the princes of all walks of life to escort him.

The news is spreading across the country.

And soon came to Xuchang City, Yingchuan County, Yuzhou.

Yingchuan County has been a place of geomantic omen since ancient times, with outstanding people.

Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, it has never experienced any wars, so many noble people who have taken refuge have gathered here.

After Luoyang was burned, Xuchang City became the largest city in the Central Plains.

Today, this is Cao Cao's "Happy Base Camp".

Cao Cao used Xun Yu's strategy and the bravery of Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan and other generals to successfully capture Yuzhou, which had no tyrannical forces.

Moved the base camp here.

this day.

State Shepherd House.

Cao Cao held a banquet to entertain those who made meritorious deeds.

Sitting in the hall, he was already a little drunk, and looked very happy, "Everyone, today we don't talk about official business, just talk about romance, wine and delicacies."

The civil and military people sitting in the hall are also very happy.

Although Yanzhou is still under Lu Bu's control, Cao Cao's power has been expanded to a certain extent after taking Yuzhou.

"It smells so good!" Said Xun Yu, the military advisor.

Cao Cao is a hero who gets more and more frustrated and brave. He has never been really decadent. He will definitely take revenge for the loss of Yanzhou, but it is no longer a heart disease.

He laughed loudly and said, "Wen Ruo, your nose is still as sharp as when you were young! Then tell me, what kind of food is this scent?"

Xun Yu sniffed and became more and more surprised, "Could it be... Could it be Luoyang braised noodles?"

Cao Cao was stunned, "Okay, you really hit the spot, I really deserve to be called Wang Zuozhi."

Xun Yu's ability is definitely in the top ten among the three masters.

Not only the top ten military strategies, but also the top ten political strategies.

This is even more powerful.

It is simply a combination of Xiao He and Zhang Liang.

It is precisely because of Xun Yu that Cao Cao has such a powerful force today.

"Above!" Cao Cao said to the outside world.

Shaoqing.

The aroma has filled the entire hall.

The aroma of chicken, duck, fish, and wine has been suppressed.

It seems that the civil and military under Cao Cao were shocked that a bowl of noodles could achieve such an extreme.

Xun Yu sighed even more, "My lord, where did you find the master of this Luoyang stewed noodle? This looks like an authentic Taishu noodle."

Cao Cao was not without complacency, and said with a smile: "Wen Ruo, you still remember that we also went to eat together at that time."

He continued: "After we came to Xuchang, I only found out in the past few days that Grand Uncle Jue has also moved here. After I found out, I immediately recruited him into the residence..."

In other words, he became his special chef.

"Everyone who has eaten or not, try it." After Cao Cao finished speaking, he couldn't help but take a sip of the soup first.

Judging by his expression, drinking fine wine is nothing more than that.

Among the crowd, only Cao Cao and Xun Yu had eaten.

Although others have heard of the reputation of this Luoyang stewed noodles, they have not tried it.

With the attempt, it is inevitable that there will be a sound of admiration.

Another of Cao Cao's military advisers, Cheng Yu, is also a very powerful figure in the Three Kingdoms.

It was precisely because of his design that Cao Cao was able to keep Chenliu County, his hometown in Yanzhou.

At this moment, he ate half a bowl in one breath, and then he stopped, and said: "My lord, to tell you the truth, before my subordinate joined you, I once traveled in Beihai, Qingzhou..."

He looked at everyone, "Everyone, you don't know that there is a Jujia noodle restaurant in Beihai. This Luoyang stewed noodle is well-known and well-known. I went to eat it once, and in retrospect, it is not as delicious as this bowl."

Xun Yu smiled and said, "Sir, you may not know that Juxi is Tai Shujue's apprentice. Taishujue is the founder of Luoyang Braised Noodles."

"Oh?" Cheng Yu couldn't help but said, "This is too powerful, no wonder it's so delicious."

Cao Cao is a person from the south of the great river, and he likes to eat noodles the most. He is very lucky to find Tai Shujue.

After eating the staple food, the banquet should almost be over.

At this time, the news of Han Emperor Liu Xie reached him.

"My lord, Your Majesty has issued an edict, ordering the princes from all over the world to take care of King Qin!"

Cao Xiu was sweating profusely, apparently non-stop along the way.

Cao Cao was shocked and sober up a lot.

"My lord, this is a god-given opportunity..."

Following Xun Yu's statement, Cao Cao's banquet immediately became a military meeting.

Xun Yu suggested that Cao Cao raise troops to meet the emperor immediately and move the capital to Xuchang.

You must know that the Yuan family has now unified the Northland, and Cao Cao, who is across the river, is under great pressure.

And the reason why the Yuan family can have such a huge power is because of the banner of the Yuan family's four generations and three princes.

But if Cao Cao has the emperor, not only can he compete with the signature of the fourth generation and the third prince, but he can also overtake it.

At this time, another news came.

Han Emperor Liu Xie recruited the Baibo bandit army in Hanoi.

Yang Feng, who was originally the leader of the thieves, turned into a chariot general with 30,000 soldiers, and Qin Wang protected him.

Xu Huang, one of his subordinates, has the courage of all men.

There was another news.

Yuan Jun moved.

Cao Cao, who was deep in thought, began to worry, "It must be that Yuan Shao is also going to meet the emperor..."

He knew very well that the four generations and three princes of the Yuan family, if there is an emperor again, occupying the highest point of morality and orthodoxy, no one can compete with this prestige.

In the struggle for world hegemony, morality is the most important thing.

Cao Cao made a decision immediately after only a few minutes of consideration.

Immediately send troops to Luoyang to meet the emperor.

His reaction is fast.

Moreover, Xuchang where he is located is half the distance from Luoyang than Yecheng, and he is confident that he will act first.

Xun Yu and others are very supportive of Cao Cao's quick response.

Before the Yuan family came, they seized the emperor.

When Cao Cao had the emperor, the stars of the Yuan family were no longer so bright.

Instead, Cao Cao will become the most dazzling prince in the world.
