Looking at Xiahou Yu, Cao Cao was shocked.
An opponent like Xiahou Yu, a strategist like him, was the nightmare of all opponents.
What kind of intelligence did this child, who was not even ten years old, have? He had predicted that Liu Dai would seize East County.
Thinking of this, Cao Cao felt a lingering fear, but he also felt lucky.
The lingering fear was that if he became Xiahou Yu's opponent, then he wouldn't be at peace even in his dreams.
Fortunately, he had long regarded him as a military adviser and became a member of his formation.
After a while, Cao Cao calmed down and said,""Since Liu Dai killed my family friend, I'll gather all my soldiers and go avenge him!”
As he spoke, he was about to instruct the army to move out and prepare to attack Liu Dai.
Xiahou Yu lightly waved the feather fan in his hand and said,""My lord, don't be anxious. I'll use a plan. Liu Dai will definitely give way to East County. Our army will be able to obtain it without spending a single soldier!”
Without expending a single soldier? Was Liu Dai that easy to talk to?
Cao Cao didn't believe it and looked at Xiahou Yu in confusion.
"My lord," Xiahou Yu explained,"Liu Dai seized East County without permission.
The aristocratic families of East County would not be convinced, the people of East County would not be convinced, and more importantly, the vassals of the world would not be convinced.
The lord might as well send a letter to Yuan Shao and tell him that he is willing to guard East County for him to resist the Yellow Turban Army's eastward advance.
I think Yuan Shao will agree. Liu Dai is timid and will not make enemies with Yuan Shao. He will withdraw his troops from East County.”
Cao Cao nodded and asked,"Why didn't Yuan Shao take the East County for himself? Why did he let me have it?"”
"Lord, please take a look!"
As he spoke, Xiahou Yu pointed at the map hanging in the carriage.
"Yuan Shao has just obtained Wing Prefecture and his strength has greatly increased.
However, with his character, he would not be satisfied. He would definitely think of a way to get Yanzhou.
This way, he would be able to control Qing, Yan, and Yi.
If he occupied Qingzhou, Yanzhou, and Yizhou, and the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, he would become the second overlord of the North Pole after Dong Zhuo. Only then could he realize his ambition.
If Yuan Shao wanted to achieve this hegemony, he had to avoid being attacked from both sides. Someone had to help him resist the Yellow Turban Army that might come from the East County.
And the lord is the best candidate."
Hearing Xiahou Yu's words, Cao Cao nodded his head. At this moment, he was still Yuan Shao's underling.
Yuan Shao would probably hand over the task of guarding East County to him.
A quarter of an hour later, a letter from Cao Cao to Yuan Shao was sent out.
Three days later, after receiving Cao Cao's letter, Yuan Shao pondered for a moment and agreed to his little brother's request.
Yuan Shao felt somewhat guilty towards Cao Cao. In the words of the later generations, they had agreed to grow old together, but he had secretly cheated.
It was Cao Cao who initiated the crusade against Dong, and it was also Cao Cao who supported him as the alliance leader.
However, when Cao Cao went to pursue Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao chose to turn a blind eye and focus his attention on Luoyang, seeking to maximize his benefits.
Thus, Yuan Shao ordered Liu Dai to get out of East County and give it to Cao Cao. If he did not agree, he would lead the army to attack.
When Liu Dai received Yuan Shao's letter, he immediately withdrew his troops from East County.
Liu Dai couldn't be blamed for being timid. Yuan Shao had just taken down Wing Prefecture without shedding a single drop of blood, and he had divided Hebei. His strength was abnormally strong.
Liu Dai felt that he was no match for Yuan Shao and did not want to offend him. Moreover, he had earned a lot of food and silver in East County over the past two months, which had reached his expectations. Therefore, he decided to withdraw.
Ten days later, Cao Cao led five thousand troops and several thousand wealthy families from Luoyang to Puyang.
Pu Yang was the governor of East County, and the city was quite tall.
At the city gate, the great clans of East County had chosen representatives to welcome Cao Cao.
Cao Cao's reputation was very good. After all, he was the first person in the world to assassinate Dong Zhuo, the first person to call the world to punish Dong Zhuo, and the only person to lead an army to pursue Dong Zhuo. The world had a very good impression of him.
Seeing the crowd welcoming him at the door, Cao Cao quickly jumped off his horse and said,""Zhong De (Cheng Yu's handwriting), Gong Tai (Chen Gong's handwriting), why did Raul and the others come to welcome them!”
Cheng Yu and Chen Gong laughed." Meng De drove Liu Dai away for the people of East County. We naturally came to welcome the righteous master!"”
Hearing this, Cao Cao laughed and began to introduce the important figures in his army.
Cheng Yu was modest and said to Xiahou Yu,""I've long heard that Meng De's new military advisor, Xiahou Yu, is a peerless Kingdom Scholar.”
Xiahou Yu returned the greeting." You flatter me, Mr. Cheng. I'm very polite."”
Chen Gong said coldly,""So Cao Gong's military advisor is so young and promising!”
Xiahou Yu was stunned by the hostility that came at him!
What young and promising? He was clearly mocking him for being young and ignorant!
He pondered for a moment and understood the whole story. He said lightly,"Greetings, Mr. Chen!"
