Chapter 39: Cao Cao’s army entered Luoyang and offered a bowl of broth to the emperor. At dawn, Li Jue fled into Luoyang City.

Relying on the complex terrain in the city, he avoided Li Yu's pursuit.

By the time Li Yu found Li Jue, the latter had already escaped from Luoyang City.

Li Yu had no choice but to retreat on horseback, charging back and killing countless fleeing Xiliang cavalry.

At noon, Li Yu returned to the deserted village.

Hurry into the camp to see Xiahou Dun

"General Yuan Rang, Li Yu failed to kill Li Guo, please atone for your sin!"

Xiahou Dun heard this and hurriedly stepped forward to hold up Li Yu's arms.

"What did the military advisor say?"

"Our army's great victory in this battle is all due to you alone!"

"The military advisor not only has no faults but also merits!"

Li Yu frowned slightly when he heard this.

Dian Wei hurriedly said:"The military advisor chased Li Guo all the way. The Xiliang army was in chaos and was strangled by our army! Dian Wei said:"

Although the military advisor did not kill the enemy generals, our troops killed more than ten thousand enemies. What a great victory!""

"Hahaha!"Xiahou Dun laughed loudly and slapped Li Yu on the shoulder hard.

A smile appeared on Li Yu's face.

He only pursued the enemy general without caring about the battle situation, which was a reckless act in itself.

Unexpectedly, this recklessness turned out to be for Yanzhou The army had a chance to win.

Xiahou Dun said:"Li Jue and Guo Si have escaped. Let us escort the emperor back to Luoyang City immediately!""

"good!"Li Yu nodded heavily.

At sunset, the Yanzhou cavalry escorted the emperor back to Luoyang City.

The army was stationed outside the city and kept safe.

That night, soldiers and horses from all sides of the Yanzhou army arrived one after another.

After entering the camp to rest, Cao Cao summoned civil and military personnel to join the central army.

Xiahou Dun took the lead in reporting the results of the first battle to Cao Cao

"Report to your lord, I killed more than 10,000 Xiliang troops in the first battle and won a great victory!"

"Hahaha!

Cao Cao laughed and said,"Okay, this battle was a great one!""

When the eighteen princes attacked Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao suffered a lot from the Xiliang army.

Once, he almost died at the hands of the Xiliang army.

In the end, it was Cao Hong who risked his life to cover him and break out of the siege.

Now I heard that he beheaded the Xiliang army. With more than ten thousand, Cao Cao felt happy.

Xiahou Dun said again:"In this battle, Military Advisor Wu Feng made a great contribution!"

"Yeah?"The smile on Cao Cao's face became even brighter.

Xiahou Dun said:

"One man of military advisors defeated two generals, Li Guo."

"The two men were chased and fled Luoyang City."

"The Xiliang army was leaderless and was slaughtered to pieces by our army! Cao

Cao slapped the table and laughed:"Okay, well done, military advisor, you will strengthen the power of our Yanzhou army!""

"Military Advisor Wufeng is quite impressive!"

Xiahoudun knew that Li Yu could fight and often used poisonous tricks.

However, deep down in his heart, he was not convinced by him.

Now he is really convinced.

Li Yu came to the rescue to save him and chased Li Guo by himself.

This kind of bravery is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

If It wasn't that Cao Cao had already reserved this son-in-law, but Xiahou Dun was eager to recruit him as his son-in-law.

Xun Yu stepped forward and gestured with his hands:"My lord, Li Guo has withdrawn and will go to Luoyang City to meet the emperor that morning!""

"Um! Cao Cao nodded:"Wen Ruo's words make sense, but there is one thing I am hesitant about!""

"What's the matter? Xun Yu asked.

Cao Cao said:

"This is my first time to see the emperor!"

"According to etiquette, foreign ministers should be generously presented when meeting the emperor."

"But our army came in a hurry and showed no courtesy! Xun

Yu smiled and said immediately:

"My lord, this is wrong!"

"A generous gift does not depend on whether it is valuable, but whether it is good for the emperor! Cao

Cao asked:"Wen Ruo knows the emperor's preferences?" Xun

Yu said:"I don't know what the emperor likes, but I know what the emperor lacks!""

"What is missing?"Cao Cao asked.

Xun Yu said:

"When the emperor returned eastward, the generals were fighting all the way and were already starved of food."

"If the lord offers a pot of boiled meat, wouldn’t it be in short supply to the emperor?"

"Isn't this the generous gift the emperor needs?

Hearing this, Cao Cao burst out laughing:"Okay, great!""

"Wait!"Li Yu opened his mouth to stop him.

"Um? Cao Cao said,"What can Wufeng say?"

Li Yu said:"Although Mr. Wenruo's strategy is appropriate, there is one thing that needs to be paid attention to!""

"What's the matter?"Cao Cao said.

Li Yu said:"My lord, you only need to give the emperor a pot of broth, but you must not give him meat! Cao

Cao frowned:"Don't give meat to the emperor?""

"What's the point? Cao Hong said:"If everyone in the world knew about this, wouldn't it be a joke on me, Yanzhou?""

Li Yu quickly explained:

"I heard yesterday that the emperor no longer knows the taste of meat"

"At this time, the lord asked the emperor to eat meat, which was indeed what he wanted!"

"But after the emperor finished eating this pot of meat, has he digested it?"

Cao Cao suddenly understood and looked at Xun Yu.

Xun Yu shook his head and smiled bitterly:"Sure enough, Military Advisor Wu Feng is careful, but I ignored this!"

After not eating meat for more than half a year, people are already extremely hungry.

If you suddenly eat a pot of meat, indigestion is a trivial matter, but if it is serious, it may cause death.

Give the emperor a bowl of broth, there is soup but no meat.

It seems stingy, but in fact it is Consider the emperor's body and start with the details.

This is what a minister should do

"good!"Cao Cao said:" Send the order, cook the broth tonight, and offer it to the emperor and officials tomorrow!"

"Here!"The civil servants and generals clasped their fists one after another.

At dawn the next day, the Yanzhou army entered Luoyang City.

Cao Cao led the civil and military officers to the palace hall to meet the emperor.

"Cao Cao, the herdsman of Yanzhou, led the civil and military officials to meet the emperor!"

"Yanzhou Civil and Military Congratulations to the Emperor for his long blessings and good health!

Liu Xie hurriedly said:"General Jiande, please get up quickly, please get up quickly!""

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Cao

Cao just stood up and then said:"I came from Yanzhou in a hurry without bringing any generous gifts. I have something to offer to the emperor!""

"What?" Liu Xie asked.

Cao Cao waved.

His general Dian Wei immediately entered the hall with a stone pot.

The stone pot was placed in front of the emperor's desk.

A faint smell of meat filled the air.

The emperor swallowed his saliva and slowly Slowly open the lid of the stone pot

"broth?"

As soon as these words came out, all the ministers in the court stood up one after another, their eyes shining brightly.
