    In the fifth year of Jian'an, it was February 21st, half a month after the spring plowing ceremony!

    In the secret room of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Cao Cao once again convened the civil and military ministers to discuss major military matters. Different from the last discussion of strategy, this time he was really going to send troops to the Northern Expedition. Therefore, the military generals were fully clothed and in preparation for battle, and the counselors also wore long swords.  To show your martial spirit!

    The huge cowhide map is full of various military symbols, densely packed and orderly. Hundreds of thousands of troops from Cao's camp have been secretly assembled in place. Like a pair of drawn bows and arrows, with just a slight movement, the arrows will immediately point to Hebei!

    "This Northern Expedition is of great importance. What is the situation in Hebei? How will Jingzhou react? How many troops, horses, ordnance, and food are prepared by our army?"

    Know yourself and the enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles without danger. Before officially sending out troops, Cao Cao was most worried about these three items, especially food and grass, which was the top priority!

    "Yuan Shao has just recovered from a serious illness. He is recruiting troops, stocking up on grain, and trying to hold on to the city. However, due to repeated defeats, Hebei's manpower, material resources, and financial resources are almost exhausted, and it is difficult to achieve great results!"

    Guo Jia stepped forward to report that he had mastered and analyzed all the military intelligence in Hebei, and his research was very thorough!

    "The Jingzhou Group, Wen Tian, ??is greedy for pleasure, Liu Biao has no ambitions, and has no courage to send troops. On the contrary, Liu Bei is stationed in Xinye City, training troops and horses, and recruiting talents. His ambition should not be underestimated!"

    Cheng Yu stepped forward and reported the situation in Jingzhou. As long as Liu Biao did not send troops, Cao Jun would have nothing to worry about!

    "Yuan Benchu ??has fallen into despair and is no longer as prosperous as before. Liu Jingsheng's dog guarding the house is nothing to worry about. As for the big-eared thief, after I wiped out Hebei, I immediately sent my troops south to capture this shameless guy!"

    Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction. According to the current situation, this time he sends troops to the Northern Expedition, there is at least a 70% chance of victory. However, the Xiongnu, Wuwan, Xianbei, and Liaodong tribes must be more vigilant. Variables may occur!

    "This time for the Northern Expedition, the imperial court has mobilized 400,000 soldiers, all of whom are well-trained and capable of fighting. Ordnance, war horses, tents, clothingall the things for use have been prepared. Only food and grass are difficult to deal with.  The officials raised money everywhere and made arrangements with great efforts, but they could only last for ten months!

    Xun Yu and Xun You looked exhausted. They tried their best to raise food and grass, but the time was too short and the country's vitality had not recovered. They could only do this one step!

    "The 400,000-strong army in the Northern Expedition has only ten months of food and grass. It will be a thousand-mile journey and transportation will be difficult. Once the food and grass are no longer availablethat's all. When things get tough, you must be bold. Victory or defeat on the battlefield depends on it. Send an order to the entire army to conquer the country within ten months."  Yecheng, swept across Hebei in two years!"

    Hearing that there was a shortage of food and grass, Cao Cao hesitated for a moment, then became cruel and decided to send troops. As long as he captured Yecheng, Yuan's home base, the rest of the battle would be easy to fight!

    "Within ten months, we will conquer Yecheng. In two years, we will sweep across Hebei. If we meet the gods and kill the gods, our army will definitely win!"

    The important civil and military ministers drew their swords, and the belief that they must win filled everyone's hearts Give it a go!

    "While the troops and horses are still in motion, public opinion takes precedence. If you want to send troops for the Northern Expedition, you still need a 'Call for Yuan's Prosecution'. Where is my son Jian? I leave this matter to you!"

    Cao Cao stroked his long beard and his eyes fell on Cao Zhi. This man had great literary talent, how much better than himself!

    "Child, obey! Bring me pen, ink, paper and inkstone!"

    Cao Zhi did not refuse, and wrote a "Criticism against the Yuan Family" in front of everyone. He wrote it in one go without thinking. The text is as follows:

    "The Yuan family, father and son, were both benevolent and unjust, cunning and stingy. They took advantage of the chaos in China to dominate the four states of Hebei. They fought for years, resorted to military violence, and oppressed the people. They were like horses and oxen. They accepted the mob from all directions and colluded with the barbarian states on the grasslands. They were extremely vicious.  A creature of charcoal, a bold spy with a magical weapon, and a long-standing disloyal heart!

    Confucius said that Cheng Ren, the ancient sayings of sages, and Meng Yan were not just empty talk. He was angry with the situation and wanted to safeguard the country. He should sound the golden drum and kill the rebels. All our Han subjects and loyal people should work together to punish them.  Destroy the Yuan family's traitors

    Today, there is the Han Dynasty Prime Minister Cao Cao, who obeys the emperor's edict and obeys the people's hearts. He leads thousands of generals and millions of troops to march to the north to defeat the rebels. The soldiers and civilians of Hebei Province and other states have no guilt in submitting to the imperial court and will resist to the end.  Anyone who captures or kills Yuan and his son will be rewarded with one hundred thousand gold, promoted to five ranks, and given the title of Marquis!  "

    "The fourth young master has great literary talent and his writing is perfect. He is truly a genius in the world!"

    "A piece of propaganda against thieves can be worth a hundred thousand elite soldiers. The prime minister has a son like this, it is really a help from heaven!"

    ??¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    After reading the appeal, all the ministers praised Cao Zhi¡¯s literary talent.Cao Zhi clasped his fists and saluted. He said he didn't dare, but he showed a complacent look!

    At the same time, Cao Cao drew his sword and began to divide his troops and send generals. According to the plan of the "ghost", he sent troops for the Northern Expedition. The army was divided into three groups:

    "Grand Sima Xiao Yi, commanded the Xuanjia cavalry, the trapped camp, the Mo Dao soldiers, the Danyang soldiers, the Dizi army and then gathered all the ministries in Guanzhong, with a total of 100,000 troops, to attack Shangdang, enter Bingzhou, and then march eastward to Jizhou!"

    "Xiahou Dun is the chief general, Xiahou Yuan, Li Dian, and Le Jin are the deputy generals. They command the troops of Xu and Hezhou, a total of 100,000 people. They cross Longmen and attack Qingzhou City, and then march westward to Jizhou to form an encirclement!"

    "I and the other generals commanded 200,000 troops in the middle, sent troops from Xuchang, and stationed themselves in Liyang City. They made a move to intimidate Yecheng and contain the main force of Yuan's army. After the three groups of troops merged, they will engage in a decisive battle!"

    Cao Cao divided his troops and generals neatly and arranged the routes, goals, and tasks of the three groups of troops very properly. He is indeed a wise commander!

    It is a taboo for military strategists to win chess without caring about their family. Cao Cao¡¯s army is mainly engaged in the Northern Expedition, and his home base must also be taken into consideration. Cao Cao issued another military order:

    Appointed Cao Ren as 'General Pingdong', commanded 30,000 troops, and stationed them around Xuchang City to intimidate all civil and military officials to prevent unexpected events!

    Appointed Cao Xiu as the Xuchang Order, and Cao Zhen as the commander of the Royal Forest Army, responsible for the defense of the imperial city, monitoring the little emperor's every move, as well as the concubines in the harem, etc.!

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? away.

    As for the civil servants, Xun Yu, Xun You, Liu Ye, Cui Yan stayed in Xuchang City, handled daily government affairs, and tried their best to raise supplies. Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Man Chong, Mao Jie, and newcomers Yang Xiu and Hua Xin accompanied the army.  He went on an expedition and made plans, and there was also a surrender minister from Hebei, Xu You, who also went out with him!

    As for the internal affairs of the Prime Minister's Office, they are all left to Mrs. Bian. With her shrewdness and ability, and her two daughters to help her, she will definitely take care of it and the family will be harmonious!

    After everything was arranged, Cao Cao turned his attention and landed on his sons. This time he sent troops to the Northern Expedition to test the temperament and ability of his sons to see who could become the heir!

    "Zihuan, Ziwen, and Zijian have all grown up, and they should serve the country. This time we send troops for the Northern Expedition, each of you will accompany them to learn how to use troops. As for how to distribute them, what do you think?"

    As soon as Cao Cao's words came out, the three sons trembled all over, and the ministers also became energetic. This is a major matter of establishing a heir apparent, and it affects the future of Cao Cao's camp, so it must be treated with caution!

    ??Everyone knows in their hearts that among the three sons and the three groups, whoever is assigned to the middle army will have the most advantage. He can follow the prime minister, teach by words and deeds, and give advice. It is also easy to gain favor, which is half the battle!

    However, the traitor has a deep mind, and he treats his sons the same way. On the surface, he asks about his wishes, but in fact he is testing his will. Anyone who proposes to follow the Central Route Army is greedy for profit and does not care about brotherhood. But if he does not fight for it, he has no ambition.  It¡¯s hard to take on big responsibilities!

    "Children are young and shallow, and everything depends on their father. No matter which people they follow, they are all serving the country!"

    The son of a traitor must not be stupid. Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, and Cao Zhi knelt down and saluted, pushing back the choice. Only their father had the final say on the matter of establishing the heir apparent!

    "In that case, Zijian is weak-tempered and the youngest, so just stay with your father. A man who is a man also takes pity on his young son, making everyone laugh!"

    ¡°Perhaps he favored Cao Zhi¡¯s literary talent, or perhaps he had an ulterior motive, Cao Cao kept his youngest son by his side!

    As soon as the words came out, Cao Zhi was full of joy and became more confident in his position as heir. On the contrary, Cao Pi and Cao Zhang looked gloomy. Since their father didn't like them, they had to think of other strategies!

    "Da Sima is good at fighting and is a god in using troops. My son is willing to follow the Western Route Army and fight on the battlefield together, so that he can learn how to lead an army!"

    Cao Pi took a step forward and took the initiative to ask for the order. If he wanted to become the heir, he must first be favored by his father and focus on training; secondly, he must be supported by his ministers and fully support him, especially the attitude of the generals, which is crucial!

    Xiao Yiwen was a master of martial arts, he held a large number of troops, and he was the leader of the generals. Being close to him would be of great benefit. To put it bluntly, a hundred years after my father's death, a political will was no match for a steel knife.  , whoever controls the army is the master of the world!

    "Haha, in that case, Zihuan will follow the West Route Army, and Ziwen will follow the East Route Army. You must obey the military orders, learn with humility, and don't let your father down!"

    Cao Cao nodded slightly, looked at his second son Cao Pi, and then glanced at Xiao Yi. There was a profound meaning in his eyes. The traitor chooses his successor. He only wants a capable son, not a cute son!
