    Purple air rises, the sun rises in the east, Shouchun City, which has been crazy and wailing all night, finally calms down. Only the burning ruins of the houses and the blood stains everywhere are telling people what happened last night!

    After daylight, Cao Cao took his three sons and entered the city on horseback, surrounded by many generals. After the city was broken yesterday, he was not in a hurry to come in. For one thing, the situation was too chaotic and fierce fighting was still going on in many places.  It's dangerous. Furthermore, with Xiao Yi taking command in the city, Cao Cao doesn't have to personally go into battle to grab the spoils like Sun Ce and Liu Bei did, and is happy to make a high profile!

    As soon as the 'Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty - Dahu Banner' appeared on the streets of Shouchun City, it meant that the soldiers' carnival was over. Each battalion headquarters would begin to gather people and restrain their behavior. Those who were too involved in 'playing' would be thrown into the trap.  Those who are reluctant to leave will be severely punished!

    "You three brothers, hold your father's sword and lead a team of troops to patrol the streets. Anyone who kills people, burns down houses, or insults women will be killed without mercy!" Looking at the desolate scene of Shouchun City, Cao Cao took off his belt.  'Eternal Sword', handed to his three sons.

    "No!" The three brothers of the Cao family knelt down and saluted. Then the eldest Cao Pi stepped forward and took the sword, greeted his two younger brothers, and led a group of cavalry. Then he rode away with clean and neat movements, quite like a soldier's iron blood.  wind.

    "The three young masters are extraordinary in martial arts, and they will all be heroes among men in the future!" Looking at the three departing figures, counselor Cheng Yu clapped his hands and praised them. It is also a good thing for them to have successors to the Cao family.

    "Haha, you kid with a yellow mouth still needs a lot of training!" Cao Cao stroked his beard and spoke modestly, but his slender eyes were full of smiles. During more than two months of fighting, his three sons have been following him.  In the army, he shared the joys and sorrows with the soldiers and learned humbly, which made him very satisfied. Of course, Cao Cao would not forget how his three sons were reborn, all thanks to Xiao Lang!

    Along the way, Cao Cao couldn't help laughing when he saw the magnificence and wealth of Shouchun City. The largest city in the southeast was now in his hands. Wouldn't it be a great joy in life, especially when he saw the Xuanjia Army everywhere in the city?  The seal made him even more elated, "It seems that Xiao Lang is really an all-rounder, he is very good at teaching children, and his method of robbing things is even more powerful, very good!"

    "See you, Prime Minister!" In front of the pseudo-imperial palace, Xiao Yi had already led a large group of generals to wait. Seeing the smile on his face, who would have thought that because of 'Master Zimu', he went crazy last night.  , and almost ordered the entire army to massacre the city!

    Washing away blood with blood, ¡®Ghost Face Xiaolang¡¯ can definitely do such a thing!

    "Haha, thank you for your hard work, Xiao Lang!" Cao Cao laughed, jumped off his horse, and expressed condolences to the other generals one by one. Then, surrounded by everyone, he stepped into the puppet palace.

    "Your Majesty, Prime Minister, this is the list of hundreds of officials of the Yuan family's puppet court. I don't know how to deal with it!"

    A thick roster also represents hundreds of lives. If their relatives, servants, and retainers are added, the number may exceed 10,000.

    "Being an official in the pseudo-dynasty, betraying the imperial court, committing great treason, all Yuan's pseudo-officials will be beheaded in public, and the younger ones will be demoted as slaves to reward the soldiers who have made great achievements in breaking the city!" Without even looking at it, Cao Cao took these with his big hands.  People have been completely thrown into the eighteenth level of hell. As the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, he must use iron-blooded methods to deter those who have different ideas and maintain the legitimacy of the court. He is also maintaining his authority!

    "No!"

    As soon as the order was given, a large group of soldiers rushed to the side of the hall, and the quail-like pseudo-officials picked up those who had been suffering all night and dragged them out. Suddenly, there was a wailing sound in the hall.

    "Prime Minister, please spare my life, I am a famous scholar from Huainan!"

    "I am willing to donate all my family property without leaving a single copper coin. I still have several beautiful daughters at home~"

    "I have done a great service by opening the door to the city. I am the party leading the way. Prime Minister, as you promised, let bygones be bygones!"

    No one paid attention to their pleas. After they were dragged out, the swords flashed and their heads fell to the ground. They were then hung high on the palace gate for public display.

    Cao Cao taught them a lesson with facts. Promises are nothing more than a piece of paper written by a strong man. They can be torn up at any time, unless you have the bargaining power!

    This is an unforgettable but very educational lesson, but the tuition is a bit expensive and it costs them their lives.

    As for their family, property, and beautiful daughter, you can tell from the fire in Baiguan Mansion last night that with the thunderbolt methods of the 'little bully', not even a straw will be left

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    After a bloody battle, Shouchun was captured, but the 'false emperor' Yuan Shu ran to Lujiang County. In other words, only half of the goal of this war to overthrow the country was achieved. What should we do next, chase?  Still not chasing?

    On the imperial steps of the Tai'an Palace in the Pseudo-Imperial Palace, Cao Cao and the civil and military officials sat on the ground and began to discuss.

    "We can no longer fight. After more than two months of bloody battles, tens of thousands of soldiers were killed and injured, and the rest were exhausted. Now it is November again, and the weather is getting colder. It is difficult to transport winter clothes and military rations. It is better to return to Xuchang first to recuperate.  It¡¯s not too late to wait until next year¡¯s spring and the flowers bloom to conquer again!¡± Counselor Cheng Yu was the first to object and continue the fight. He was responsible for the logistics supply of the entire army and worked day and night. He was so worried that he had a lot of gray hair and was physically and mentally exhausted.  !

    A 170,000-strong army is fighting on the front lines, and the civilian men who transport food and grass for them, the craftsmen who rush to make ordnance, and the female dependents who sew military uniforms add up to more than 700,000. If the battle continues, if the front can barely support itself, the rear will also be completely exhausted.  Collapse, in the final analysis, the battle is fought by logistics!

    "Yuan Shu was defeated and fled, trapped in the Lujiang River, like a wild dog whose back was broken, and could never do anything again!" Guo Jia still kept the wine gourd in hand, and drank a few sips in a row before continuing.

    "Although Yuan Shu's power is declining, Yuan Shao in Hebei is ready to make a move. Two of his generals, Yan Liang and Wen Chou, have stationed one hundred thousand troops at the Yellow River ferry. Although it is a bluff, if the prime minister goes on an expedition for a long time, Xuchang's military strength will be empty. This bluff cannot be guaranteed.  It will become real, so we have to guard against it!"

    Both of the two great advisers spoke out against the war, and Cao Cao couldn't help but hesitate. The empty rear and lack of food and grass were the two things he was most worried about, but he was really unwilling to retreat like this!

    "Xiao Lang, if you send an army of troops to travel day and night, how can you attack Lujiang?" Cao Cao's plan was very clear. He led most of the troops back to Xuchang to take control. At the same time, he also confused the enemy and sent out another army to sneak attack Lujiang and capture Yuan Shu in one fell swoop.  To eradicate the root cause, as for the candidate to lead the army, it is naturally Xiao Yi!

    "Difficult!It's difficult! The Lujiang River is surrounded by water on three sides, and it's close to Chaohu Lake. It's surrounded by swampy land for hundreds of miles. The cavalry can't use it. It has to rely on the navy from Jiangdong, but they~~" said this, Xiao Yi touched  He touched his chin and sighed, "In the end, both Sun Ce and Liu Bei are local princes!"

    Xiao Yi's words revealed the essence of the matter. The reason why Sun Ce and Liu Bei were willing to send troops to help was for profit and to share a piece of Huainan's flesh. But fundamentally, they were still local princes. Cao Cao controlled the court and commanded the world, with the ultimate goal of annihilation.  These princes want to reunify the nine states and the world. There are irreconcilable conflicts between the two. How can the Jiangdong navy be willing to contribute? To put it bluntly, once Shouchun is broken, the tripartite alliance will be disintegrated!

    "Furthermore, Lujiang Army is Zhou Yu's hometown. This famous Jiangdong general has long regarded it as a forbidden land. How could he let Cao Jun get involved?

    "Navy army, navy army!"

    The lack of a naval force is a major shortcoming of Cao Cao's group. Otherwise, the battle in Huainan would have been much smoother, and there would be no need to rely on Sun Ce's power to make this little tiger cub grow stronger!

    ??????????????????? However, establishing a navy is not that easy. In addition to recruiting a large number of soldiers who are proficient in water-based skills, you also have to invest countless money to build warships. Hundreds of warships, is it a gold-swallowing beast?

    Cao Cao and his advisers privately discussed the steps to unify the world, which was to "first north and then south, and wipe them out one by one." Yuan Shao in the north was a strong enemy, and they could not find the strength to build a navy for the time being, so this time in Huainan  The battle can only end here!

    "Haha, it doesn't matter. The mountains are high and the roads are long. The days are long!" Cao Cao, who was the most evil hero in the world after all, quickly calmed down and said, "Send the order to hold a celebration banquet tonight to congratulate on the victory over Shouchun. Sun Ce and Liu Bei are invited to come together!  "
