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

"Hahaha!" The examiner looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "Cao thief, you are still looking for my lord today? It's ridiculous!"

"Huh?" Cao Cao's expression changed suddenly.

"Hahaha!" The judge continued to laugh: "My lord has already gone to Youzhou with the people, you want to catch him? It's just a dream!"

"Hahaha!" Cao Cao also laughed, "No wonder you stick to Handan City to protect Yuan Shang!"

"Exactly!" The examiner nodded with awe-inspiring righteousness.

"Is it worth it?" Cao Cao asked.

The judge held his head high: "As a courtier, you should be loyal. The judge has nothing but to die in the south!"

"Why south?" Cao Cao asked.

"Shenpei is Zhengnan, my lord Yuan Shao died to the lord outside the city of Ye in the south of Handan, even though he is dead, he is still alive!"

"What a loyal man!" Cao Cao nodded, and immediately waved to Xu Chu: "Help him!"

"Yes!" Xu Chu nodded, and immediately pulled the judge to the south of the city.

The examiner knelt down and shouted: "My lord, the examiner is here!"

Xu Chu swung his knife, and cut off the judge's head neatly.

Cao Cao ordered a generous burial and trial.

Afterwards, Chen Lin was escorted to the top of the city and knelt in front of Cao Cao.

Cao Hong said in a loud voice: "Prime Minister, this person is the one who wrote the call for thieves back then? He should be killed!"

"Hahaha!" Cao Cao laughed: "Chen Lin, Chen Kongzhang!"

"It's right here!" Chen Lin nodded.

Cao Cao said: "In the past, you just insulted me by writing a call for thieves. Why did you insult my Cao family ancestors together?"

Chen Lin said: "The arrow is on the string and has to be fired. I used to be a minister of Yuan Gong, so I should do my best!"

"Prime Minister, you order him to be killed!" Cao Hong said.

Xu Chu immediately clenched his sword and was always ready.

Cheng Yu and Xun You stepped forward to intercede for Chen Lin.

"Prime Minister, think twice, Chen Lin has always been talented and learned, which can be put to good use!"

"Chen Lin did not harm our general, please forgive this person, Prime Minister!"

Cao Cao nodded slightly, and asked Chen Lin, "Would you like to serve me, Cao Cao?"

Chen Lin said bluntly: "Of course I am willing!"

"Hahaha!" Cao Cao laughed again, and asked Chen Lin, "Why?"

Chen Lin said: "Duke Cao defeated Duke Yuan, and Hebei will be in his pocket sooner or later. If you don't assist the prime minister, how can you make a living?"

"Hahaha!" Cao Cao laughed with satisfaction, and ordered Chen Lin to be released and hired as a prime minister.

The city of Handan has been set, Cao Cao held a banquet to reward the three armies, and at the same time sent troops to attack the surrounding counties.

Zhao Da was ordered to welcome Liu Xian into Handan City to discuss major plans.

ps: The fifth update today, good night!

Chapter 89 Liu Xianxin's three-step strategy, invite Yuan Tan into the urn

Liu Xian was very excited when he heard that Lao Cao invited him to Handan City.

There is no other reason. If Handan City is breached, Jizhou will be included in the Cao family's territory.

This also means that Wuji County, Changshan County, Zhen Mi's hometown, is also among them.

Liu Xian just happened to be able to return to Zhen's house with Zhen Mi in style.

See what that old bastard Zhen Yi has to say to this day.

A family of four with two carriages plus a dog and Xiao Cao.

Liu Xian and Zhen Mi took the same car, and Lao Huang was in charge of driving the car.

A carriage at the back is responsible for pulling things, the maid sits in the carriage and hugs Xiao Huang, and Xiao Cao sits outside the carriage to drive the carriage.

A group of people traveled day and night, and soon settled in Handan City.

The house has been prepared a long time ago, it is a little simpler than the Liu Mansion in Yecheng, but it is not a problem to stay for a few days.

The next afternoon, Lao Cao came to visit.

"Brother Ziyu!" Lao Cao cupped his hands.

"Brother Chicken!" Liu Xian bowed his hand in return.

Small wine and side dishes were put on the table, and the two drank three glasses of wine first.

Only then did Groove chat with Liu Xian about the war in Yecheng.

Knowing that the judge was defending Handan City and Yuan Shang fled with the common people, Liu Xian couldn't help sighing: "Hundreds of secrets, I didn't expect the judge to be so loyal to the Yuan family!"

Lao Cao smiled and said: "Sir, there is no need to blame yourself. Handan City was breached as scheduled, and the overall strategy is still in your three-step strategy!"

Liu Xian said bluntly: "What you said is the third step!"

"Huh?" Lao Cao was shocked.

"That's right!" Liu Xian nodded: "The third step's strategy is, the first step is to wait for Yuan Shao to die and Yuan Shang to succeed, the second step is to capture Jizhou, the third step is to capture Youzhou, persuade Bingzhou to surrender, and then pacify Qingzhou! "

"That's right!" Lao Cao nodded: "The first two steps have been completed!"

Liu Xian shook his head: "The old three-step strategy is correct, but it is too steady and needs to consider many aspects, so I formulated a new three-step strategy!"

Lao Cao was excited: "Wouldn't it be faster to recover Hebei?"

"That's right!" Liu Xian nodded, wishing he could help Cao Cao take Hebei in a few minutes, and then send his troops to Jingzhou to destroy Liu Bei.

Lao Cao clasped his fists together: "Please teach me, sir!"

Liu Xian smiled slightly: "The new three steps pay attention to one efficiency, but the tactics are too cruel, whether Cao Gong can adopt it is still unknown!"

"It doesn't matter!" Lao Cao patted his chest: "Sir, just mention it, I will do my best to make Cao Gong accept it!"

"The situation has changed, Yuan Shang has long been unable to fight, and Yuan Tan is the great enemy!" Liu Xian said slowly.

"The first step is to send Zhang Liao to take Bingzhou. He was born in Bingzhou and is quite famous in the local area. It is most appropriate for him to take back Bingzhou!"

"The second step is to invite Yuan Tan to Yecheng to succeed his father Yuan Shao, and make him the Lord of Hebei. If he comes, he will be put under house arrest. If he doesn't come, he will be trapped to death in Pingyuan County, and Qingzhou will be leveled!"

"In the third step, when the army marched into Youzhou, Yuan Shang was powerless to resist. In other words, he never dared to confront Duke Cao head-on. He would definitely run away, and even fled to Wuhuan. In this way, the four prefectures in Hebei were all in Duke Cao's pocket!"

The old three-step strategy was formulated for Yuan Shang.

Now that the judge is dead, Yuan Shang has no one around to assist him, and he is not worthy of a fight at all.

On the contrary, Yuan Tan is the one to be afraid of. The new three-step strategy is completely tailor-made for him.

Lao Cao nodded again and again: "Sir, this new three-step strategy is really eye-catching!"

Liu Xian smiled: "Although the new three-step strategy is good, there is something I must say!"

"Sir, please tell me!" Lao Cao clasped his hands together.

Liu Xianyu said earnestly: "Although the new three steps can quickly take Hebei, but if the steps are too big, it will be easy to talk nonsense after all, so guard against arrogance and impetuosity!"

Old Cao nodded embarrassingly: "Okay, I will write it down, and I must tell Cao Gong!"

"Brother Chicken, take care of yourself!" Liu Xian waved his hands.

"Then I'll go back to Daying first, and we'll meet again some other day!" Lao Cao got up and immediately left with Lao Xu.

After returning to the camp of the Chinese army, Cao Cao ordered Zhang Liao and Xia Houyuan to lead their troops to take over Bingzhou.

He also asked Gao Gan, the governor of Bingzhou who stayed in Caoying, to write a warrant.

There is no reason for Bingzhou officials not to surrender, and the governor and senior cadres are all in Cao Cao's hands.

What's more, Zhang Liao, a fierce general from Bingzhou, went to take over.

Cao Cao then made a deployment and ordered Xiahou Dun, Xu Huang, and the two generals to quickly approach Yuan Tan who was stationed in Pingyuan County on the grounds of pacifying Qinghe County.

At the same time, Cao Ren was ordered to lead his troops down the Yellow River to block the ferry from Pingyuan County to Qingzhou.

In one sentence, he trapped Yuan Tan in the plain.

want to go?no way.

In the end, Cao Cao asked Liu Ye to be his envoy, and invited Yuan Tan to Yecheng to receive the title.

A few days later, Liu Ye came to Yuan Tan Camp in Pingyuan County.

"Brother Ziyang, please sit down quickly, my general will be here soon!" Guo Tu warmly greeted Liu Ye.

Since the last mission to Yecheng, which led to the alliance between Yuan Tan and Cao Cao, Guo Tu has been very kind to Cao Ying.

"Thank you, thank you!" Liu Ye hastily bowed his hand to return the gift, explaining to Guo Tudao.

Guo Tu beamed with joy after hearing this: "Mr. Cao wants General Yuan to succeed me as Lord?"

"That's right!" Liu Ye nodded, "Mr. Yuan was originally the great general of the dynasty, but was usurped by Yuan Shang later. Today, he is righted, and Mr. Yuan Tan should succeed him as the great general!"

"Hahaha!" Guo Tu laughed loudly: "That's great, that's great!"

While talking, Yuan Tan brought Xin Ping inside.

"What are you laughing at, sir?" Yuan Tan asked casually.

"Hahaha!" Guo Tu continued to laugh: "General, good news, great news!"

"Oh?" Yuan Tan was surprised, and looked at Laishi.

Liu Ye got up: "I have seen the general!"

"Huh?" Yuan Tan was taken aback: "General?"

"That's right!" Guo Tu nodded: "Duke Cao wants you to inherit the title of the lord and take the post of great general!"

A smile appeared on Yuan Tan's face instantly.

The general is the head of the generals in the world, with a high position and weight.

He Jin was a great general back then.

Even if Cao Cao welcomes the Son of Heaven to Xudu, after taking the position of prime minister, he has to give up the position of general to Yuan Shao.

Now that Yuan Tan has become a general, he is naturally much more powerful than Yuan Shang's little Hebei lord.

"Hahaha!" Yuan Tan laughed loudly: "Mr. Cao is benevolent and righteous, Yuan Tan has nothing to repay!"

Liu Ye smiled and said, "I would like to ask the general to go to Yecheng in half a month to receive the title and pay homage to Duke Yuan!"

"To Yecheng?" The smile on Yuan Tan's face disappeared instantly.

Guo Tu stopped laughing.

Liu Ye cupped his hands to signal, and chose the right time to leave.

Xin Ping took a look at the big tent to confirm that Liu Ye had gone far away, and then said to Yuan Tan: "General, you must not go to Yecheng, this is Cao Cao's trick!"

"I don't think so!" Guo Tu shook his head.

Yuan Tan asked, "How can you see it?"

Guo Tu immediately said: "Cao Cao wants to regain the entire Jizhou now, and the title of you as a general is just to let the general give up Pingyuan County!"

"Nonsense!" Xin commented: "Cao Cao clearly wants to attack the general and seek my Qingzhou!"

"Joke!" Guo Tu snorted coldly: "Jizhou is still undecided, and Yuan Shang is still making trouble in Youzhou. How could Cao Cao attack his allies at this time? Is he crazy?"

Chapter 90 The Good Counselor Guo Tu, Liu Xian Conspires

Xin Ping said loudly: "Master, you must not go to Yecheng to avoid being persecuted by Cao Cao!"

Guo Tu retorted: "Innumerable villains, if you don't go to Yecheng to receive the seal, pay homage to the former master, and be despised by the people of the world, if Cao Cao takes the opportunity to send troops to attack us, how will you respond?"

Guo Tu and Xin Ping argued endlessly.
