After more than two months, Cao Cao finally invaded Nanpi.

Yesterday, Yuan Tan drove the people to the front, intending to attack Cao Ying at night, but he did not expect to be beheaded by Xu Chu in front of the formation.

After the general is dead, it is difficult for his subordinates to form a climate.

One after another, the generals of the Yuan family came to join the army.

Nanpi government office.

Cao Cao sat in chief.

The generals in the hall were all present, and their expressions could not contain excitement. Today, Yuan Tan has finally been destroyed, and it is time to reward him for his meritorious deeds.

Especially Xu Chu stood in the front row with a somewhat arrogant expression. He really made a lot of credit for being a pioneer this time.

Even Yuan Tan took the initiative to bring it to the door, and he picked up the decapitation in vain, which also made everyone envious.

Cao Cao looked at it for a while, and said indifferently:

"It's been a lot of hard work for everyone in the recent war. After returning to the city of Ye, I'll be rewarded for my merits and deeds, and I won't delay."

The crowd shook hands and said yes.

Cao Cao nodded slightly and asked in a deep voice:

"Now that Yuan Tan has been destroyed, and the Bohai Sea will be wiped out in just a few days, where should our army go next? What are your opinions?"

Although Cao Cao has his own ideas, it is also useful to ask his subordinates.

Knowing Cao Cao's intentions, Xu Chu immediately went out and said:

"Reporting to the Prime Minister, although Yuan Tan is now broken, the brothers Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang are still alive, and they should lead the army north to pacify and merge."

Cao Cao was thoughtful and said seriously:

"The Yuan Brothers are a big problem. If they don't get rid of them, they may make a comeback. Can you say something else?"

Having said all this, everyone knew it, and quickly replied:

"We would like to pacify and unite with the Prime Minister."

Seeing Cao Cao stroking his beard, he was quite satisfied and said:

"Since all of you have this intention, then go back and prepare well. After the Bohai Sea settles down, the army will go directly north."

The generals lead the way.

Only Cao Cao and Guo Jia were left in the hall.

After a moment of silence, Cao Cao nodded and asked:

"Now that the Yuan brothers are stealing the merger, can Fengxiao have any countermeasures?"

Guo Jia still looked indifferent, and said:

"Since the fall of Yuan Tan, many Yuan clan generals have surrendered, and the prime minister can make them pioneers and show the prestige of the court."

Then Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia and asked:

"Yuan's brothers occupy two states, and there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command. Does Feng Xiao think this battle is certain?"

Guo Jia thought for a moment and said aloud:

"Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang are nothing but bereaved dogs, and the prime minister attacked them with the king's teacher, so winning is easy."

Cao Cao nodded lightly and said:

"Fengxiao and Guxiang are the same, but there is still one more thing."

Guo Jia was stunned and asked:

"Does the Prime Minister want to return to Yecheng?"

Being guessed by Guo Jia, Cao Cao smiled and replied:

"That's right, the Yuan brothers need to be punished, but Gu is also worried about Ye City, making it difficult for Jun Gu to defend the city."

Then Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and said solemnly:

"Thanks to Lord Chen Zhai's action, the locust plague did not spread, otherwise Jizhou would be starving, how can we conquer the secluded and peaceful."

Cao Cao's tone was a little weird, and he didn't seem to be happy. Guo Jia raised his eyebrows and sighed:

"There has been no change in Qingyun Village. You are quite focused on the overall situation, and it will not be too late to think about countermeasures in the future."

Seeing Guo Jia's words to persuade him, Cao Cao nodded and said:

"It doesn't matter, these lonely people understand, but there is much instability in the back. Gu wants to go back and have a look first, what does Feng Xiao think?"

This time Guo Jia did not stop, but said:

"Since the Prime Minister feels uneasy, there is no problem in returning to Yecheng first, but the army needs to go north first. With the power of this great victory, I am afraid that the Yuan brothers will be at a loss."

Before he thought about it, Cao Cao agreed and said:

"Fengxiao's remarks are very true. That lone person will take Zhongkang alone. Fengxiao will go north with the army, and urge the soldiers not to attack rashly."

Guo Jia agreed.

the next day.

Cao Cao appointed Xiahou Dun to be the governor of the army and horses, and he took Xu Chu and more than ten personal guards straight to Yecheng.

...

Yecheng government office.

Xun Yu flipped through the report on the table.

After many days of hard work, the impact of the locust plague has been completely eliminated, and most of the people have stabilized and resumed production.

This is also thanks to Chen Jue's help, most of the locust swarms were solved, so that the loss of the people was greatly reduced, and it was possible to take care of it.

Qingyunzhai disaster relief is also very important. If Chen Jue didn't have the time to delay, I'm afraid Yecheng would have turned into a pot of porridge by now.

At that time, what Xun Yu had to do was not only to relieve disasters, but also to lead the army to pacify the chaotic people in order to stabilize the rear.

But no matter what, Yecheng has not changed much.

That is, Chen Jue made him elusive, and everything else was under control, waiting for Cao Cao to execute the Yuan Shao brothers.

Even if Xun Yu stayed behind, he could guess that Cao Cao would not come back so soon, You and Bingzhou could not stay for a long time.

If the brothers Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang were to slow down, the troops they had in their hands should not be underestimated, and there would undoubtedly be a lot of trouble.

Solving the two as soon as possible will have a great impact on Cao Cao, Jizhou, and the general trend of the world in the future.

In addition to the long distance of Liangzhou, the northern states were unified, and they were getting closer and closer to Xun Yu's goal.

But at this time, Xun Yu became more and more uneasy, and what Cao Cao was thinking in his heart was unpredictable.

Is it really as Chen Jue said...

Just as Xun Yu pondered, someone from outside came to report:

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Prime Minister led more than ten fast riders and has already reached the city gate."

Xun Yu was stunned for a moment, this was different from what he thought, and quickly said:

"Come out with me to meet you."

As soon as he left the yamen gate, Xun Yu ran into Cao Cao head-on.

Before Xun Yu could speak, Cao Cao sighed:

"Lingjun, I have kept you in Yecheng during this period of time. I didn't expect so many things to happen. It's really hard for you."

Xun Yu hurriedly shook his head and cupped his hands:

"The Prime Minister's words are not good. In the city where Wei Chen stays behind, how can the soldiers fight hard in the battlefield."

Cao Cao smiled wryly, but Xun Yu was as direct as ever. After thinking about it, he said:

"This matter makes you do not have to refuse. Gu is coming back to see it. Now that the army has gone north, Gu will leave tomorrow."

Xun Yu said in surprise:

"This is too hurried. It's not a big problem if there are some ministers staying in Ye City. If the Prime Minister travels to and fro, I'm afraid everyone's heart will be uneasy."

Cao Cao didn't care, and said in a serious tone:

"Gu naturally rest assured, but there are many variables in Ye City today, especially that Qingyun Village. What's wrong recently?"

Xun Yu was also unequivocal, and quickly replied:

"The recent actions of Qingyun Village, the ministers have written in their letters, and the Prime Minister has a general understanding of them."

Cao Cao nodded lightly, hesitantly said:

"What exactly is the hot air balloon mentioned in Ling Jun's letter?"

Xun Yu wrote a lot of things, but only the hot air balloon impressed him. This thing can actually carry people to the sky?

Cao Cao was puzzled and took this opportunity to ask.

When asked about the hot air balloon, Xun Yu was also a little hesitant. He pondered:

"This hot air balloon is shaped like a sphere, and there is a basket hanging below it. The basket can carry people, like the mount of a fairy."

Cao Cao frowned even more and said suspiciously:

"Is it really a fairy thing?"

Xun Yu sighed and shook his head, and said:

"We have no way of knowing this."
