    The Prime Minister's Mansion - Military Secret Room is located in a rockery in the back house. From the outside, it looks like a forest of strange rocks, blocked by trees, and highly concealed. The secret room goes several feet underground and is connected by spiral steps. It has three iron gates and is soundproof.  The effect is excellent, and it is guarded by elite tiger and leopard soldiers. No matter what is discussed inside, there is absolutely no possibility of eavesdropping or leaking secrets!

    The military secret room - thirty to forty feet in radius, is entirely built with huge stones, and the walls are extremely strong. It is divided into a conference room, an archives room, a military training room, a rest room, a food storage room, and several wells It can accommodate hundreds of people, and can accommodate hundreds of people.  Yuejiu, it can be called an underground world. It is said that there is a secret passage that leads directly to the outside of Xuchang City. As for the location of the secret passage, only Cao Cao knows!

    In the conference room, Cao Cao was wearing soft armor and holding a sword in his hand. He was sitting on the throne. His eyes were shining brightly. He was no longer drunk at all. Instead, he was filled with the spirit of a warrior and an iron horse. Behind him, there were still  Wearing a pair: 'Hebei military and political map!  ¡¯

    The map is very large, one foot two feet high and one foot five feet wide. It is made of four pieces of cowhide. It marks the mountains, rivers, cities, roads, population, grain production, and garrison locations in Hebei Contents  It is extremely detailed, even if it is used by Yuan Shao himself, it is nothing more than that!

    Over the years, Cao Cao has been presiding over the military affairs and has focused on pacifying the world and ending the feudal regimes. Therefore, he sent a large number of envoys and spies to inspect the topography of various states in the world and secretly drew maps for military decision-making. Hebei was the most important.  Seriously, the Yuan family will never be destroyed, and the traitor will be restless!

    "Ta!Ta! Ta!"

    Amidst the low footsteps, Xiao Yi, Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Xun You, Cheng Yu, Xia Houdun, Xia Houyuanall the important civil and military officials entered the conference room one after another. They sat on the soft couches on both sides according to their rank. In addition,  , the four brothers Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, Cao Zhi, and Cao Xiong, wearing armor and holding swords, also attended the meeting and began to participate in military and national affairs!

    In the conference room, there was silence, and you could hear the drop of a needle. No one said anything, but their eyes flashed and they continued to communicate privately. Everyone knew in their hearts that a war was about to begin, and its importance was no less important than the Battle of Guandu.  , the former determines survival, and the latter is related to rise and fall!

    "Since I came to power, I have assisted the emperor, calmed the people, taught people's hearts, and diligently persuaded farmers. I originally wanted to use the way of benevolence to create a prosperous China. However, the princes were stubborn, separatist, and resisted the imperial decree. It was not the power of the golden sword and the iron horse.  , it¡¯s hard to make it surrender!

    The Yuan family, who lived in Han Dynasty for a long time, did not want to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country. Instead, they plotted evil. The court severely punished them, but they still refused to repent. I prepared to send troops to the Northern Expedition to wipe out the four states of Hebei in one fell swoop. I captured Yuan's father and son alive and presented them to the imperial court as prisoners.  What do you think?  "

    ¡°Cao Cao¡¯s voice was deep and calm, exuding an aura of holding the world in his hands, but in his heart, there were turbulent waves, joy and fear

    Happily, after years of fighting and hard work, I have controlled the five states of Xu, Yu, Yan, Si, and Liang. If the Northern Expedition succeeds and the Yuan family is eliminated, and then the four states of Qing, Hebei, Bing, and You are captured, what will happen at that time?  , the Han Dynasty has thirteen states, and he occupies nine states, accounting for two-thirds of the world. The Cao family's hegemony has been completely successful!

    The scary thing is that the fourth generation and the third prince of the Yuan family have a profound background and still control the four states and millions of people. Their strength cannot be underestimated. If the Northern Expedition fails and the Yuan family makes a comeback, it will be very bad. And  This kind of thing happens often in history. No one dares to say victory until the last moment!

    "Hiss! It is inevitable to send troops to the Northern Expedition. We can make great achievements, but the suffering will be greater!"

    "Hmph! It's not only difficult, it's also dangerous. It's like walking on thin ice. If you're not careful, you might"

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    The Prime Minister spoke, and the ministers were no longer silent. They were either gearing up, preparing for a decisive battle, or talking to themselves, with worried expressions on their faces. They were equally happy and afraid of sending troops to the Northern Expedition. The Cao family became king and hegemony, and they also  The problem with being able to prosper and become a wife is that this piece of fat in Hebei is really not easy to swallow, and it might even choke someone to death!

    It can be said that sending troops to the Northern Expedition to capture cities and territories is full of difficulties. I remember that in the first year of Jian'an, the entire army attacked Xuzhou and fought fiercely for half a year. The soldiers suffered heavy casualties and consumed countless money and food. They almost gave up halfway. Fortunately, Cao Cao was determined and had Guo Jia and Xiao Yi.  After giving advice, Xiapi was conquered and Lu Bu's group was eliminated!

    One Lu Bu and one Xuzhou, it took a lot of effort. Now we have to deal with the Yuan family and the four states of Hebei, which is more than ten times more difficult. Besides, the soldiers are fierce and dangerous, and the swords are ruthless. Who can  I dare to say that this battle will be won, but who dares to say that I will not be hurt at all?

    "Yuan's disabilityThe cruelty and cruelty poisoned the souls. The hearts of the four states in Hebei have long been lost. The Prime Minister sent troops to the Northern Expedition to comply with the will of God and the hearts of the people. He is a righteous teacher. He must be invincible and will succeed immediately!

    But, the affairs of the world need to go with the times. When the time comes, everything will be smooth sailing. When the time does not come, every step will be difficult. I think: the Northern Expedition is not yet mature, so we should not act rashly. There are three reasons"

    Shangshu Ling-Xun Yu left the table and came forward. He first paid homage with a great ceremony, and then in the most polite and tactful tone, he opposed sending troops to the Northern Expedition, at least not now!

    "A hundred-footed insect can die but not freeze. In the battle of Guandu, Yuan lost his troops and fled in embarrassment. However, the tree has deep roots and its strength should not be underestimated. The Prime Minister sent troops to the north. The journey was long, men and horses were exhausted, and the enemy army was waiting for work, and there was a city to defend.  , get a three-point chance of winning before fighting, this is impossible!

    In the Battle of Guandu, more than 80,000 of our troops died in the battle, and countless money and food were consumed. They have not recovered yet. The Prime Minister sent troops to the Northern Expedition. I am afraid that it will be difficult to supply food, grass, military pay, and civilians in time. Once the back-up is not available, it will inevitably affect the war and even fail.  Two things are wrong!

    Hebei has a vast territory, a large population, and is harmed by the Xiongnu, Wuwan, and Xianbei. If the prime minister wants to achieve his full success, our army will inevitably come out in full force. At that time, the time will pass and the rear will be empty. Sun Ce, Liu Biao, and Zhang Lu in the south will  , Liu Zhang and his like will definitely take advantage of the opportunity to sneak in and attack Xuchang City. Our army will be attacked from both sides and will be in a dilemma These three things are impossible!

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT off out a wise man will not do it, but hope that the Prime Minister will practice civil service, train soldiers and horses, and accumulate food and grass. After three or five years, when the soldiers and horses are strong, he will send troops to the Northern Expedition, and he will definitely succeed in one fell swoop!  "

    After expressing his opinions, Xun Yu touched his head to the ground and could not kneel down. He hoped that Cao Cao would take back the order. Xun You, Man Chong, Mao Jie, and Liu Ye also came forward and knelt down to salute. They were also opposed to sending troops!

    To be fair, Xun Yu's three opinions are all reasonable. They are mature advice for the country. They are supported by most civil servants. Even the military generals who are gearing up are gradually wavering. They want to make achievements, not send troops to die, since the chance of winning is not good.  Why bother sending troops by force? It would be nice to live in peace for a few years!

    "Whizzing!"

    Xiao Yi and Guo Jia, one civil and one military minister, the two ministers, have been listening attentively. They also agree with Xun Yu's opinions. They have discussed privately that it is too difficult to send troops to the Northern Expedition now, and the chance of winning is only 50%.  , if you cultivate yourself for a few years and then send troops to the Northern Expedition, you have an 80% chance of winning!

    The problem is, they know that there is little chance of winning, but they can't oppose it. The prosperity of the Cao Ying Group depends on the unity and sincerity of the top management. Especially Cao Cao, Xiao Yi, and Guo Jia, they always coincide with each other and advance and retreat together. If the three of them  Disagreement among people leads to discord within the group, which is more terrible than losing a war!

    ¡°Besides, Cao Cao is the prime minister and his father-in-law, and Xiao Yi and Guo Jia are his ministers and obedient sons-in-law. No matter what the situation, they must support their father-in-law. Even if they have objections, they can only give advice in private and never oppose it publicly!

    Xiao Yi and Guo Jia were the leaders. They did not express their positions publicly. Most of the other important civil and military ministers chose to remain silent. The question of whether to send troops suddenly reached a deadlock!

    "Wen Ruo's words are wrong. The people of Li, Hebei, have been deeply poisoned by the Yuan family. They have been eagerly awaiting Master Wang for a long time. As the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, I will lead the righteous army to defeat the rebellious thieves. I will be invincible. Why waste time and lose the people?"  What about hope?

    I have made up my mind about sending troops to the Northern Expedition and will definitely not repent. If anyone dares to have any objections, it will be like this caseCrack!  "

    While speaking, Cao Cao pulled out his heavenly sword and struck it hard on the desk. It was split into two halves and collapsed. A murderous aura filled the conference room and made the officials shudder!

    To be fair, Cao Cao has the style of a wise leader and always accepts the opinions of his ministers with an open mind. Today, he is uncharacteristically using force to intimidate the ministers and forcefully pass the resolution. However, he has no choice but to do so. Three to five years is too long, so he only seizes the day.  Got it!

    Cao Cao is forty-eight years old. He has been fighting for many years and has to deal with many things every day. His body is exhausted and his energy and physical strength are not as good as before. White hair has grown between his temples, just like the afternoon sun. Although it is shining brightly, it is gradually setting.  ¡­

    The ancients said: "A person who lives fifty years is not called premature death." The average life span of people in the Qin and Han Dynasties was very short. Cao Cao was forty-eight years old. Even if he was old, a disease or an accident he could die at any time.  However, the powerful enemy has not been eliminated, the great cause has not been accomplished, and the heirs are still very weak. Once he falls, who will fall into the hands of the huge foundation he has created?

    Thinking of this, Cao Cao turned his eyes and fell on Xiao Yi. He was tall and energetic. At the age of twenty-seven, it was the time to make achievements and forge ahead, just like the morning sun. It was really enviable If he fell  Now, is he going to be a capable minister of the Cao family?  Or should I be a powerful minister?

    "Times are like swords slicing down the geniuses. I don't have much time left. I must wipe out Hebei in my lifetime, unify the world, and leave a solid foundation to my descendants. Only in this way can the Cao family be able to live longer!"

    After stabilizing his mind, Cao Cao secretly vowed that as long as the country changes ownership and is replaced by Emperor Cao, under the general trend of peace, Xiao Yi and others can only be capable ministers for the rest of their lives. Traitors are the only thing in troubled times!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)If he falls, will he be a capable minister of the Cao family?  Or should I be a powerful minister?
