After being abandoned by Liu Bei, Cao Cao begged me to be a military adviser

Ever since, Yang Biao had the cheek to visit Guo Jia again.

Guo Jia cut to the chase: "Mr. Yang's visit must be for secret letters?"

Yang Biao nodded: "Master Jijiu is straight to the point, the old man will no longer cover up, and please Master Jijiu try to save me!"

Guo Jia smiled: "Yang Taiwei is a famous family of four generations and three princes. The prime minister respects you, and you will never be implicated in this matter!"

Yang Biao shook his head: "But I'm afraid! Once you're old, you won't be guaranteed if you fall one more night!"

"Hahaha!" Guo Jia laughed loudly: "Since you are old, why don't you resign and return to your hometown to take care of yourself?"

"I..." Yang Biao shook his head and sighed, "I can just leave, but my son Yang Xiu..."

Guo Jia said again: "Yang Dezu is quite talented, the prime minister has praised him many times, and intends to recruit him into the prime minister's office as an official!"

Chapter 81 Yang Biao jumped into the fire pit, Cao Cao sent troops to challenge Liu Bei

"Understood, I will go back and let my son work in the prime minister's mansion, and I will ask Guo Jijiu to help me a lot!"

Yang Biao was able to settle the account.

He resigned and returned to his hometown, leaving his son to serve Cao Cao.

Yang Xiu is not only a hostage, but also a proof that the Yang family is in line with Cao Cao.

Although unwilling, Yang Biao had to accept this fact.

After returning home, he worked for his son Yang Xiu.

Unexpectedly, Yang Xiu said: "Father, you finally figured it out, I'll just wait for this day!"

Yang Biao pointed at Yang Xiu: "You bastard, do you know who Cao Cao is? Do you know what he is hiding?"

Yang Xiu smiled: "Father, those who know the current affairs are heroes. No matter who Cao Cao is, the power of the court is firmly in his hands. I will never make a mistake when I enter the Prime Minister's Mansion!"

"Hey!" Yang Biao shook his head and sighed helplessly.

Early the next morning, Yang Xiu reported to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The whole process was arranged by Guo Jia, and everything went very smoothly.

Another day later, Yang Biao went to see the emperor and offered to resign and surrender.

Emperor Liu Xie did not agree at first.

Yang Biao wiped away his tears and complained again.

In desperation, Liu Xie had to agree to let him retire and return home.

Yang Biao breathed a sigh of relief, he could finally retire.

In the early morning of the third day, all civil and military officials entered the court.

The court meeting was presided over by Shang Shuling Xun Yu.

Prime Minister Cao Cao rarely appeared, accompanied by Guo Jia.

Xun Yu announced some trivial matters, and then brought the topic to Yuan Shao.

"Prime Minister, tell me!" Xun Yu bowed his hands and greeted Cao Cao.

"Yeah!" Cao Cao nodded slightly, bowed his hands to the emperor, and then turned to all the officials.

"Everyone, I think everyone has heard about the fact that the ministers of the DPRK and China secretly communicated with Yuan Shao?"

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar in the hall.

It can be said to be true, what to be afraid of.

Many ministers are sick and unable to come to court today.

What I'm afraid of is that Cao Cao will take the opportunity to make trouble.

And Cao Cao is still here.

"Come on!" Cao Cao signaled by clapping his hands.

Then Lu Hong and Zhao Da carried a huge wooden box into the hall and placed it in front of the officials.

Cao Cao took two steps forward, opened the lid, and took out one of the secret letters.

"This letter was written by Dong Cheng to Yuan Shao. He colluded with Yuan Shao to kill me and rob the emperor. He deserves to be killed!"

"You should kill, you should kill, you should kill!"

As soon as this remark came out, all the officials echoed.

A few quietly wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads.

Most of the ministers dare not look up at Cao Cao, let alone face him squarely.

Cao Cao said again: "There are hundreds of bamboo slips in this box, each of which is sealed with wax. Except for Dong Cheng's secret letter, I haven't read anyone else's. Do you know why?"

The officials discussed for a while, you look at me, I look at you, no one knows what kind of medicine is sold in Cao Cao's gourd.

Cao Cao said calmly: "People will protect themselves in times of crisis. I was also afraid of Yuan Shao when I was in Guandu. It is inevitable that courtiers secretly inform Yuan Shao!"

As soon as this remark came out, all the officials breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, his impression of Cao Cao, the traitor, improved a bit.

Cao Cao said again: "Now that Yuan Shao is dead, Hebei has been preliminarily determined, and the future must be under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. What's the use of these so-called secret letters?"

"Yes, yes, the prime minister is right!" Uncle Guo Fu Wan nodded in agreement.

Cao Cao spoke again: "For the matter of the secret letter, let the past be ignored. Except for the evidence of Dong Cheng's guilt, the rest will be burned on the spot!"

Fu Wan said loudly: "Prime Minister is wise, wise!"

"The prime minister is wise!" The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty shouted one after another.

"Hahaha!" Cao Cao laughed loudly, and turned to look at the person on the dragon chair.

Liu Xie nodded quickly: "Okay, very good, I have exactly this intention, and the prime minister's move is very much in line with my intention!"

"Hahaha!" Cao Cao continued to laugh.

Everyone's secret letters, including boxes, were lit in the hall.

The billowing thick smoke choked many people out of breath, but no one left.

Until all the bamboo slips were burned to ashes, Cao Cao said again: "Dong Chengyu's party Liu Bei occupied Runan and tried to attack Xudu in vain. I will send troops to destroy Liu Bei immediately!"

Fu Wan said loudly: "I wish the prime minister a victory!"

The rest of the officials also shouted, wishing the prime minister a victory.

"Hahaha!" Cao Cao laughed and left the hall.

The court meeting was declared over, and all the ministers retreated.

Today is the day of the court meeting, and it is also the day when former Taiwei Yang Biao left Xudu.

Yang Biao had many friends, but not many people came to see him off.

Fu Wan and Xun Yu arrived outside the city gate one after another.

"Uncle Guo, Lord Xun Ling!" Yang Biao hurriedly saluted the two when he came out of the city gate.

"You're welcome, you're welcome!" The two hurriedly returned the salute.

Yang Biao hurriedly lowered his voice and asked, "Is it a bloody storm today?"

Xun Yu shook his head, but he didn't speak after he fell down.

"What? Someone won't let you talk?" Yang Biao became even more nervous.

"No, no!" Fu Wan said: "Prime Minister only left Dong Cheng a secret letter, and all other superstitions were burned!"

"What?" Yang Biao was stunned: "Burn? Don't pursue it?"

"That's right!" Xun Yu nodded.

"Then I..."

Yang Biao suddenly felt his scalp go numb.

Cao Cao did not pursue the matter, which means that even if he did not resign, he would not be implicated!

He resigned from office in vain and gave his son to Cao Cao.

This is pure injustice, losing his son and losing his official position.

"Hey!" Fu Wan sighed, but said nothing.

At this time, there is really nothing to say.

Although everyone knows that this is a hole Cao Cao dug for his officials.

But if someone insists on jumping in, no one can stop it.

"That's all, that's all, I'm going back to my hometown now!" Yang Biao waved his hand, got on the carriage and left.

"Mr. Yang, go slowly!" Xun Yu and Fu Wan bowed.

After Yang Biao's carriage had gone far, he said, "Xun Lingjun, you are not kind!"

"Why am I not being kind?" Xun Yu said.

Fu Wan shook his head: "You must have known about the burning of the letter by the prime minister, why didn't you mention Taiwei Yang?"

Xun Yu shook his head: "I have declined him politely. Asking him to find Guo Jijiu is just an excuse. I never thought that he would really face the difficulties!"

"Hey!" Fu Wan sighed: "Forget it, forget it, from now on, there will be no political opponents of Cao Cao in the court!"

"I hope so!" Xun Yu said something meaningful, then turned and left.

Three days later, Cao Cao formally dispatched troops from Xudu, announcing a crusade against the traitor Liu Bei.

Liu Bei was shocked when he heard the news.

Cao Cao actually came to attack himself in person.

This makes him, who is following the emperor's edict to seek thieves, very passive.

In desperation, Liu Bei also immediately announced that he would obey the emperor's edict to crusade against the national traitor Cao Cao, and specially invited Sun Quan in Jiangdong and Liu Biao in Jingzhou.

Of course, Liu Bei didn't expect Liu Biao and Sun Quan to help him, but he had to let the world know about this battle for thieves.

A few days later, the two armies met at Rangshan, and after a while they retreated, choosing to set up camp on the spot and make a long-term plan.

Chapter 82

Liu Bei's [-] soldiers and horses were divided into three camps.

Guan Yu led 1 people on the left, and Zhang Fei led 1 people on the right.

Liu Bei ordered Zhao Yun and [-] soldiers to be in the center.

Gong Du was in charge of transporting grain, and Liu Bi guarded Runan.

On the other side, Cao Cao also summoned the generals to discuss matters.

In this crusade against Liu Bei, a total of nearly [-] elite troops were brought in, of which [-] were cavalry.

Cao Cao said: "Liu Bei has [-] soldiers and horses in Rangshan, can the generals have a plan to defeat the enemy?"

Zhang Yun took the lead to stand up: "Prime Minister, I suggest dividing up troops to capture Runan!"

"I agree!" Xia Houyuan also stood up: "Yuzhou was originally a territory of the imperial court. It was lost because of Liu Pi and Gong Du's rebellion, but we should attack Runan together!"

"Okay!" Cao Cao said, "Xia Houyuan, Zhang He obeys the order and orders you two to set off with [-] elite horsemen tomorrow night to capture Runan!"

"Yes, Prime Minister!" Xia Houyuan and Zhang He clasped their fists to signal.

Early the next morning, Liu Bei's war letter was sent to the camp.

Cao Cao was furious, and little Liu Bei dared to provoke him. He immediately led his troops out of Dazhai and set up an army formation to wait for Liu Bei.

Liu Bei led his troops to arrive as promised, and led Zhao Yun to ride up alone to ask Cao Cao to answer.

Cao Cao led Xu Chu out of the army to meet Liu Bei.

"Big-eared thief!" Cao Cao pointed his whip at Liu Bei, "I treated you as a distinguished guest. I saved you from Lv Bu's hands many times and made you the governor of Yuzhou. You don't want to repay your kindness, but you conspired with Dong Cheng to kill me. You are an ungrateful villain!"
