Yingchuan County, Xudu.
Because he was worried that he would not be able to control the situation in Luoyang and allow Yuan Shao to take advantage of the situation.
Cao Cao persuaded Liu Xie to move the capital to Xudu on the grounds that Luoyang had been abandoned for too long and was difficult to repair.
Xudu is surrounded by mountains on three sides, easy to defend but difficult to attack.
In addition, Yingchuan, Chenliu, and Yanzhou were all controlled by Cao Cao.
Moving the capital to Xudu would prevent Cao Cao from worrying about Yuan Shao suddenly coming to Luoyang to welcome the Emperor.
Cao Cao knew his childhood friend very well.
Although Yuan Shao might not be able to react in time, he would be able to take advantage of the Emperor's order.
However, as time passed.
Yuan Shao would definitely understand the deeper meaning behind it.
If Yuan Shao wanted to welcome the Emperor, Cao Cao would definitely not be able to keep Liu Xie alive!
And now.
Liu Xie had moved his capital to Xudu.
Xudu's city walls and palaces, money, food, people and goods, are very complete.
Liu Xie was first threatened by Dong Zhuo, then by Li Jue and Guo Si.
Now that he was in Xudu, he saw that Cao Cao was very respectful to him. He gradually calmed down in Xudu and announced to the world!
At the same time.
Liu Xie conferred the title of General Cao Cao, Marquis of Wuping, and Xun Yu as a servant and Shangshu Ling.
Xun You served as the military adviser and Guo Jia served as the minister of wine.
Liu Ye served as Sikong Cang Cao puisne, Mao Jie, Ren Jun served as Dian Nong Zhonglang General.
Cheng Yu was appointed Prime Minister of Dongping, Fan Cheng and Dong Zhao were appointed as Luoyang County Magistrate, and Man Chong was appointed as Xudu County Magistrate.
Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren and Cao Hong were generals, Lu Qian, Li Dian, Yue Jin and Xu Huang were lieutenants, and Xu Chu and Dian Wei were captains. The rest of the soldiers were rewarded according to their achievements.
Although Cao Cao only had Yingchuan, Chenliu, and Yanzhou, and his actual control was not as great as Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's, he was able to suppress Yuan Shao's Jizhou governor and Yuan Shu's Nanyang prefect in name.
General Manor.
Cao Cao was hugging a lady from an unknown family, drinking and composing poems.
Suddenly.
Guo Jia arrived.
"My lord, Yuan Shu has sent a letter."
Guo Jia was now Chancellor Sima, he was mainly in charge of military discussions, as well as managing the school affairs office and gathering intelligence from various places.
Cao Cao pushed away the woman in his arms and took the letter. His expression changed.
"Xu Xiao actually occupied Shouchun?"
"Xu Xiao took over as the governor of Xu Prefecture without permission, and now he's going to attack Yangzhou. His ambition is not small!”
"Fengxiao, immediately report the situation. I want to report to His Majesty to draft an edict to remove Xu Xiao from his post as the governor of Xu Prefecture and order the various prefectures to punish the thief Xu Xiao!”
I'm not convinced by the emperor's orders.
Naturally, Cao Cao could seal them however he wanted and punish them however he wanted!
Cao Cao was already calculating.
After removing Xu Xiao from the post of Xu Prefecture Governor, he would then use righteousness to attack Xu Xiao and kill Tao Qian!
Cao Cao had not forgotten the revenge of killing his father.
Now that Tao Qian had given up his position as the governor of Xuzhou, he was living well in Pengcheng. This was unbearable for Cao Cao!
"My lord, I'm afraid that won't do!" Guo Jia shook his head.
"Why not?" Even if the Emperor had agreed to Tao Qian's request to let Xu Zhou go, Xu Xiao was only the governor of Xu Zhou and did not have the right to attack Yangzhou!”
"My lord!" Guo Jia's tone was solemn. Xu Xiao attacked Yangzhou in the name of the people of Yangzhou who wept blood and wrote a letter!”
Cao Cao's expression became strange. This Xu Xiao actually thought of such a method?”
Cao Cao himself was an expert at faking imperial edicts.
Xu Xiao's bloody letter was exactly the same as the fake edict.
What was that?
Are you saying that this Weeping Blood Letter is fake?
It was fine.
Now that Jiujiang had been pacified, the people of Jiujiang County were grateful to Xu Xiao. Was it difficult to write a letter crying blood?
No difficulty!
Since he couldn't defeat Shouchun, it didn't matter if this letter was true or not.
After taking down Shouchun, this sob of blood letter had become real!
"My lord, Yuan Shu's letter only wants you to restrain Xu Xiao so that you can attack Yangzhou with all your strength." Guo Jia said in a serious tone. Now that Yuan Shu already had Nanyang and Runan, if he occupied Yangzhou, he would definitely go north.”
"At that time, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu will be in the north and south respectively. Even if the lord has the Son of Heaven in his hands, he will not be a match for Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao.”
"Fengxiao means to reject Yuan Shu's cooperation?" Cao Cao hesitated.”
"No!" Guo Jia shook his head. What I mean is that the method of issuing an edict is not possible, but Xuzhou must be attacked. Otherwise, it will be difficult for the lord to compete with Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao!”
Cao Cao hesitated." If I don't issue an edict, I'm afraid I won't be able to do anything. Now that His Majesty is in Xudu, Tao Qian is no longer the governor of Xuzhou. It's no longer feasible to use the method of sending troops to avenge my father!”
The advantage of welcoming Liu Xie was to serve the emperor. However, the disadvantages were also obvious. Cao Cao had to have a reason to mobilize his troops, or else he would be no different from a traitor.
They wanted to raise an army.
Cao Cao must have a good reason!
"My lord!" Guo Jia laughed. Just randomly seal it!"
Cao Cao was stunned. What do you mean?"
Guo Jia smiled confidently." Lu Bu is now in Xiaopei and is dependent on Xu Xiao. His Majesty is grateful for Lu Bu's kindness in killing Dong Zhuo, so it's reasonable for him to be appointed as the governor of Xuzhou, right? Xu Xiao was a young hero. The Emperor was determined to revive the Great Han Dynasty and needed a talent like Xu Xiao. Let Xu Xiao come to Luoyang and be promoted to Grand Marshal, ranking among the three dukes!”
"Lu Bu and Xu Xiao, if you obey, we can capture a mere Lu Bu in one battle!”
"If Lu Bu and Xu Xiao do not obey orders, they will be traitors. My lord, you can invite Yuan Shao to attack Xuzhou together!”
"In this way, not only did he promise Yuan Shu's cooperation, but the lord also had the name of conquering Xuzhou!”
"Most importantly!"
Guo Jia's tone became stern.
"We must let all the heroes in the world know that our lord is now a great general, the emperor's most trusted great general!”
"If you're not convinced."
"Then we will follow the orders of the emperor to conquer the four directions!”
Cao Cao laughed out loud. It was indeed difficult to punish him by issuing an edict. Instead, it would make the people of Xuzhou think that he was deliberately suppressing him for revenge. However, if Xu Xiao was to become the Grand Commandant of one of the three dukes, this would be the favor of the emperor!”
"If Xu Xiao agrees, in this Xu Capital, even if you are a dragon, you have to give me a plate. Even if you are a tiger, you have to give me a crouching position!”
"But if you don't agree, then I will have a reason to attack Xu Xiao!”
"As expected of Feng Xiao. Immediately report the situation. I will report to His Majesty tomorrow and confer Xu Xiao the title of Grand Marshal! Haha!"
