    Now Cai Yong finally left, but before Cao Cao could breathe a sigh of relief, he received news that Cai Yong went to see Wang Yun before leaving. No one knew what they were talking about.

    This gave Cao Cao a bad feeling. Cai Yong could not go to Wang Yun for no reason. The two were not relatives, so there must be a conspiracy.

    "Damn it!" Cao Cao covered his head, his head aching, and he couldn't help but slap the city wall angrily.

    "My lord, are you okay?" Mao Jie, Cao Cao's manager, stepped forward and asked with concern.

    "It's okay," Cao Cao gritted his teeth and asked, "How's the matter of moving the capital?"

    Mao Jie cupped his hands and replied: "It's ready."

    Cao Cao directly ordered: "Send someone to inform Boning (Man Chongzi) and let him prepare to welcome the emperor. We will start moving the capital tomorrow."

    Now Man Chong is serving as the prefect of Xuchang.

    Hearing this, Mao Jie was slightly surprised and asked in surprise: "Tomorrow?"

    Cao Cao nodded and said, "Yes, we have to proceed early and catch them off guard."

    News of the emperor's move to the capital soon spread throughout the world, and Xuchang was renamed Xudu.  After the capital move was completed, Cao Cao launched an attack in the court, targeting Wang Yun and trying to kick Wang Yun out of the court.

    However, Wang Yun did not rush to counterattack by telling the news that Youzhou was willing to pay taxes, causing Cao Cao to be in chaos, and ultimately failed to bring Wang Yun to the court.

    Wang Yun took this opportunity to continue to stay in the court and continue to fight with Cao Cao.

    Although Cao Cao fell short and failed to fully control the court, he became increasingly resentful of Liu Zhe and regarded Liu Zhe as a thorn in his side.

    However, Cao Cao did not gain anything from moving the capital.  Militaryly, avoid pressure from the other side of the Yellow River.  In terms of politics, although the plan to bring Wang Yun to the court was not realized, he still gained great popularity.  Moreover, after the capital was moved, pressure was exerted on Xuzhou to the east, Yuzhou to the south, and Jingzhou and Nanyang to the southwest. With Xudu as the center, it shocked the three places.

    After the capital was moved, Liu Bei of Yuzhou and Tao Qian of Xuzhou both sent envoys to Xuduqin to meet Emperor Xian and express their submission.

    These gains made Cao Cao feel slightly happy.

    "Where is the convoy sent by Liu Zhe?" Cao Cao sat at the top, gently stroking his forehead with his left hand. These days of fighting with Wang Yun gave him a severe headache.

    "Returning to my lord," Cao Hong went out to report, "We have landed from Baima and entered Dongjun."

    After Wang Yun threw out Liu Zhe and resumed paying taxes to the court, Wang Yun regained his previous disadvantage in one fell swoop.  Liu Zhe was willing to pay taxes through Wang Yun, which greatly increased Wang Yun's reputation, and many outsiders turned to Wang Yun.

    Because there is a lot of meaning in this and the quick-thinking people even think that Liu Zhe is in alliance with Wang Yun, and Wang Yun is Liu Zhe's ally in the court.

    Liu Zhe defeated Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao, and was already recognized as the number one prince in the world. How could Wang Yun form an alliance with him, so why not make people think of Pian Pian.  Cao Cao is powerful, but no one thinks that Cao Cao can be more powerful than Liu Zhe.

    Therefore, many courtiers who had previously taken refuge with Cao Cao turned to Wang Yun, causing Cao Cao to lose a lot of strength.  However, Xudu was Cao Cao's home base, and Cao Cao finally had the upper hand for the time being thanks to the favorable location.

    When moving the capital, Liu Zhe had already sent a team to send taxes to Yanzhou. Now they have entered Yanzhou and will reach Xudu in a while.

    "How many supplies are there?" Cao Cao thought that when the convoy arrived in Xudu, Wang Yun's momentum would be even greater, and his head began to hurt again.

    Damn it, damn Liu Zhe.  Cao Cao cursed Liu Zhe in his heart, it was so abominable.  Just sending out a convoy nullified most of his previous efforts, which really made Cao Cao hate Liu Zhe.

    "There are at least 100,000 shi of grain, and it is difficult to count silk, cotton, fur, etc., the quantity is very large." The spies passed back the size of the convoy, and Cao Cao's men could roughly come up with a numerical value after a little calculation.

    "Damn it!" Cao Cao cursed in his heart. Hearing that Liu Zhe actually gave so many supplies at one time, and it was only for a month, he felt jealous. Youzhou is really rich.

    Although Yanzhou was under the rule of Cao Cao, it was located in the Central Plains. The Yellow Turban Rebellion suffered great damage, and there was very little food tax revenue. In addition, he had a large group of soldiers to support, and Cao Cao's life was also tight.

    Now that he heard that Liu Zhe actually sent so many things at once, Cao Cao wanted to send people to grab them.

    "My lord, why not let them come to Xudu?" Cao Hong suggested, with a murderous look on his face. As long as Cao Cao nodded, he would immediately order to intercept the Youzhou convoy.

    Cao CaoShaking his head, not to mention whether intercepting Liu Zhe's convoy would lead to Liu Zhe's revenge and use it to attack Yanzhou. Just because Liu Zhe was using the banner of righteousness, Cao Cao had no reason to intercept it unless he wanted to betray the imperial court.

    "My lord, I have a plan." Suddenly someone stood up.

    Cao Cao took a closer look and saw that it was Xiahou Dun's younger brother, Xiahou En.

    Xiahou En's military force is not as good as that of Xiahou Dun. Now he is just a captain under Cao Cao's account and usually follows Cao Cao.

    "What's the trick?" Cao Cao was very happy when he saw that it was his brother, feeling that he could still be relied upon at the critical moment
