Chapter 363 Go Each other

Cao Cao looked out of the window and turned his back to Xun Yu, and his tone seemed a little lonely and helpless. Xun Yu was lowering his head and meditating. Suddenly, he heard Cao Cao sigh. When he came to his senses, he looked helpless and didn't say anything.

After all, there is a limit to the righteousness in everyone's heart. In this troubled era, for these princes, they can be said to be be benevolent and righteous.

"Lord Cao Meng, Kong Yu, Tao Qian and Liu Dai, the three assassins, come to see you."

Cao Cao frowned and said a word 'Biography' coldly. After a while, Kong Yu, Tao Qian and Liu Dai came together. Under the eyes of Kong Yu and Liu Dai, Tao Qian's face condensed and opened his mouth after salute to Cao Cao.

"Lord Cao Meng, recently I received an urgent report from Xuzhou. The thieves around Xuzhou are rampant. I will leave Xuzhou for a year. If I don't go back, I'm afraid that the whole Xuzhou will fall into the hands of thieves.

Now that the Dong thieves have been eliminated, the remaining remnants are not enough to worry about. In the continuous wars, the officers and soldiers in Xuzhou are exhausted and even more tired of war. I also hope that the Lord of Cao League will be kind to the soldiers of Xuzhou and let them rest for a while.

"Yes. Lord Cao Meng, the generals of Yanzhou also have the same situation. Moreover, I also received urgent news from Yanzhou that the Black Mountain Thieves led by Zhang Yan, the remnants of the yellow scarf, have gathered nearly hundreds of thousands of thieves to attack Yanzhou. Forgive me, I have the strength but lack of strength, so I have to lead Yanzhou soldiers back to Yanzhou.

"Master Cao Meng, although there is no thief in Yuzhou, it has been a year since the soldiers and soldiers in Yuzhou have left their hometown. They are very homesick. All the generals and soldiers under him are asking you to return and recuperate for a period of time."

Cao Cao listened silently. After they finished speaking, he turned around and looked at the three of them. Although Kong Yu, Tao Qian and Liu Dai are a little unbearable, they are more resolute on their faces.

"Kong Gong, Tao Gong, Liu Gongru and other three people think that the big man has paid a lot. Now you have a reason to leave, and you dare not hinder it. I don't know when you will leave. I'm sure to see you off.

Hearing that Cao Cao did not use the so-called benevolence and righteousness to keep them, Kong Yu, Tao Qian and Liu Dai were all relieved. After saluted Cao Cao, they all said that they would leave in the future and would definitely inform Cao Cao at that time.

After that, after Cao Cao said polite words to the three of them, Kong Yu, Tao Qian, Liu Dai and others said goodbye to Cao Cao. The soldiers in Xuzhou, Yanzhou and Yuzhou were ready to leave, and the news soon spread to the camps of other princes. Two days later, Zhang Yang and Kong Rong also found Cao Cao and told him the intention of leaving. Cao Cao seemed to have expected this for a long time, and he agreed to them with a trace of chill.

With the departure of Kong Yu, Tao Qian, Liu Dai, Zhang Yang, Kong Rong and other soldiers and horses, the so-called righteous alliance is worthy of the name. Sun Jian also said goodbye to Cao Cao. Cao Cao had no intention to stop him and let Sun Jian lead the Changsha soldiers and horses to leave.

"Lord, before the soldiers and horses of all the princes have been withdrawn, we are also ready to evacuate."

"Do you also think that I should leave at this time?"

"Lord, the death of Dong Zhuo, who has the greatest power, officially came to represent the era of the princes competing for the Central Plains. Now, all the princes are accumulating strength. I heard that Yuan Benchu in Hanoi has gathered troops repeatedly, and his strength has reached 50,000. He also borrowed grain from Han Fu, the assassin of Jizhou, on the pretext of lack of food. After borrowing it several times, Han Fu must have felt that Yuan Benchu was insatiable and did not allocate grain. Yuan Benchu used this excuse to unite with Gongsun Zan to attack Jizhou.

Once Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan occupy Jizhou and get the land of Jizhou, the power will definitely increase greatly. Both of them have ambition and strategy, and they will definitely become the master's confidant in the future. The Runan Yuan Highway is also leading troops to attack Nanyang, which was occupied by Gepi yellow scarf thieves, in order to expand its power.

If we spend more troops, food and fodder to continue to fight against the remnants of Dong thieves, I'm afraid that even if we succeed in saving the Holy Lord in the future, it will be difficult to keep the Holy Lord for too long.

"If it hadn't been for the reminder, I wouldn't have woken up. In this way, how should we accumulate power after returning to Chen?

"Yan and Qingzhou are full of thieves, and Qingzhou is even more in the hands of thieves. With Liu Gongshan's ability, I expected that he would not be able to defeat the thief. After the lord went back to Chen Liu, he could send a message to him. He took out gold, silk, grain and grass to support us, and we led the army to help him eliminate the thief. With the lord's reputation now, he can first break the thief, beat him into fear, and then shout the banner and subdue it. There are hundreds of thousands of thieves in Yan and Qingzhou. As long as the lord can collect seven or eight of them, and then take the elite soldiers, why worry about the great cause?

"It's so wonderful, just according to Wen Ruo."

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, nodded deeply, and then suddenly sighed.

"Wen Ruo, you can find out Yun Chang's news. Can he get out of danger?"

"The Lord. Li Qi and other traitors left in a hurry, and there were still many imperial doctors left in the Weiyang Palace. In the past ten days, under the careful treatment of these imperial doctors, Guan Yunchang has been out of danger and heard that he has woken up from a coma.

"Well, that's it. Let's go to see Yunchang as you like."

Xun Yu smiled gently. He knew that Cao Cao's past, of course, was concerned about Guan Yu. But it's more about wanting to get rid of Wen Hanbing. Since capturing Chang'an, because Cao Cao took care of the overall situation, he let go of Lv Bu, whom Wen Han hated deeply. The atmosphere between Wen Han and Cao Cao was a little tense, while Wen Han had been staying beside Guan Yu. Cao Cao had to deal with the departure of the righteous masters and princes. The two rarely met during this period, and all this tense atmosphere continued.

After a while, Cao Cao and Xun Yu came to the mansion where Wen Han and others temporarily lived. Wen Han and Xu Huang are sitting in the hall. Although Guan Yu has woken up, their faces are still a little dark. Because Guan Yu just woke up, the imperial doctor told him not to disturb too many people, so Wen Han and Xu Huang left, leaving Diao Chan alone to take care of Guan Yu.

Cao Cao stepped into the hall and looked at Wen Han. For a moment, the two seemed to be dumb and didn't say anything. The atmosphere is a little strange.

"The literary champion forgives me. Recently, all kinds of princes in the righteous teacher are preparing to leave. The lord and I are too busy to deal with it. That's why I didn't have time to visit General Guan. I wonder how General Guan is injured now?

Xun Yu first opened his mouth and broke the strange silence. Wen Han forced a smile from his face and bowed.

"If you have a heart. My second brother has woken up and his injury has improved.

"Oh, so my lord and I are relieved."

Xun Yu nodded, looked at Cao Cao, and then said to Xu Huang.

"If you don't look at General Guan, it's really hard to rest assured. Can General Xu lead the way and let Yu visit General Guan?

Xu Huang also took a look at Wen Han, then nodded to Xun Yu and took him out of the hall. At this time, only Cao Cao and Wen Han were left in the hall.

"Exordinary, are you still blaming me?"

After a long time, Cao Cao finally said something. Wen Han took a deep breath and stared at Cao Cao.

"I dare not blame Meng De. But Yuqing, it's really difficult for me to swallow this breath for a moment.

"I also hope that everything can be done with my heart and move with my feelings. But extraordinary, you have to understand that now we are different from the old times. One of our choices and one thought will be related to thousands of lives and even the trend of the world.

"I understand. I just can't get through it."

"Then wait for time to kill. No matter what, I will treat you like a best friend in my life. If you don't live up to me, I will live up to you. Now the soldiers and horses of all the princes have withdrawn from Chang'an. I also made a decision to lead the army to leave tomorrow. Are you going to leave with me?"

"Good."

"So, I'll go and see Yunchang first."

Cao Cao turned around and was about to leave.

"slow, Meng De. I'll go with you."

At this time, Wen Han stood up from his seat and walked to Cao Cao. The tense atmosphere between the two seemed to have decreased. Cao Cao smiled faintly at Wen Han, and the two walked to Guan Yu's room together.

The next day, Cao Cao and Wen Han left Chang'an City. Suddenly, Chang'an City looked a little empty and deserted.

The so-called righteous army also officially disintegrated, and the death of Dong Zhuo, the biggest treacherous minister at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty finally opened the prelude to the Central Plains.

However, it was said that Li Ru and Xu Rong, who were fighting with Ma Teng and Han Sui in Liangzhou, were shocked when they received the information that Dong Zhuo was dead from Li Chu. Li Ru shed tears on the spot and shouted ferociously to avenge Dong Zhuo. After discussion between Li Ru and Xu Rong, he decided to take 40,000 Liangzhou sergeants to Yi County to meet Li Sui and others.

After Li Ru and Xu Rong came, Li Xu first pretended to give way to Li Ru. But Li Ru understood that this was just Li Xu's hypothetical feelings. Originally, the 90,000 Liangzhou army in Chang'an, after a series of battles with Lv Bu's Bingzhou Army and the Volunteer Army, finally returned to the county, and there were more than 60,000 soldiers and horses. And these more than 60,000 people have been firmly controlled by Li Qian. Li Tui's strength exceeds that of Li Ru, and there are many people under Li Ru's command, who prefer Li Tui for the position of general. After all, Li Ru has always been a behind-the-scenes military division and less involved in the battle. However, as a general, Li Sui is different. He often fights side by side with the soldiers. The prestige in the hearts of the soldiers is killed with a knife and a shot. Of course, the prestige in the Liangzhou army is higher than that of Li Ru.

Li Ru repeatedly refused, and said bluntly that he had to lead the Liangzhou army. Li urged pretended to be in danger and vowed to kill Lv Bu to avenge Dong Zhuo.

After that, Li urged Li Ru to be a military division, and manipulated Emperor Xian of Han to make himself Da Sima. Li Ru was the servant, Guo Yan was the general of the bicycle, Zhang Ji was the general of the cavalry, Xu Rong was the general of Zhenxi, and Fan Chou, Yang Ding and other Liangzhou generals were all given. The Liangzhou soldiers who won the reward were even more sincere to Li Sui.

Seeing that the overall situation was stable, Li Ru discussed how to repel the thief army in Chang'an. Unexpectedly, Li Ru sneered and said that he just watched, and the thief army in Chang'an was bound to break through without attack within a month. When Li Ju saw Li Ru's steady appearance, he was at ease. After that, as Li Ru speculated, Cao Cao and other nine princes parted ways and left Chang'an.

So Li urged more than 100,000 Liangzhou troops to reoccupy Chang'an, and asked Li Ru how to go next. Li Ru told him that Dong Zhuo had just died and the situation was stable, so it was not appropriate to attack Lv Bu immediately. First, let his generals rest for a while, and then send people to make peace with Ma Teng and Han Sui.
