    Liu Ke blatantly expanded his army. In the past, there would have been no problems.

    But as soon as Cao Cao restored Yanzhou's defense, Liu Ke expanded his army.

    Among them, what does this mean?

    Cao Cao had to think carefully. He was brave, but it was impossible to become an enemy of Liu Ke now.

    If possible, Cao Cao is willing to delay until Liangzhou is captured.  If that time comes, Cao Cao will really have nothing to worry about.

    However, this is just a sweet dream.

    Liu Ke would not let Cao Cao succeed and would not let him have more time to prepare.

    This military expansion is the best proof.

    Although military expansion does not mean war, after all, military expansion requires training.

    Therefore, for Cao Cao, there is at least half a year of stability.

    "However, half a year is really too fast for the princes, and it flies by in a blink of an eye.

    What can you do in half a year?

    It is not enough to digest the merger of states.

    It¡¯s not Cao Cao¡¯s style to rush into battle, so he seems a little anxious now.

    "My lord, this matter is simple!" Xi Zhicai said. After speaking, he coughed twice.

    "Zhicai, be careful with your health!" Cao Cao said hurriedly.

    Originally, Xi Zhicai was inspecting Liangzhou, and the preparations were almost complete, but Cao Cao suddenly discovered that Bingzhou was easier to capture, so the preparations for Liangzhou were half spent.

    Liangzhou was originally relatively desolate, but Xi Zhi stayed there for so long, and his body gradually became overwhelmed and became weak and sickly.

    So, he simply returned to Chang'an to recuperate.

    "Thank you for your concern, my lord." Xi Zhicai said. After he stopped coughing, he regained his strength.

    "Zhicai, why should we be so polite between you and me?" Cao Cao said with a smile.

    Xi Zhicai rested for a while and then said: "My lord, you can reiterate Dongyang Hou's proposition again and stabilize him. Then join forces with Yuan Shao to put pressure on Dongyang Hou."

    Cao Cao thinks it makes sense. Now Dongyang Hou has 1.2 million troops, which is still acceptable, but once it reaches 2 million, it will definitely be a disaster.

    Even Yangzhou cannot afford to support 2 million well-trained troops!

    what does that mean?

    In order to support the army, Dongyang Houhui expanded endlessly.

    By then, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao will become the primary targets.

    This is also the reason why Cao Cao felt he had to take action.

    In fact, Yuan Shao is the one who is most worried, because he is not as strong as Cao Cao and is likely to be the target of surgery.

    Therefore, after Cao Cao¡¯s envoy arrived, Yuan Shao pretended to be reserved for a while and then signed his name immediately.

    ?For them, it is a good thing.

    It is absolutely impossible for Marquis Dongyang to expand his army. If he insists on doing so, he will have no choice but to start a war in advance!

    Liu Ke expanded his army, and Cao Cao and Yuan Shao also had to expand their army, but they could not afford to support so many troops, so they had no choice but to overturn the table.

    Yuan Shao just wants to grow up and digest Youzhou. For him, this is the most important thing at the moment.

    After the two sides reached an agreement, Cao Cao sent Zhong Yao, and Yuan Shao sent Tian Feng as an envoy to Yangzhou together.

    Liu Ke had already prepared for the arrival of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's envoys and received them warmly.

    Zhong Yao was timid and kept looking at Tian Feng, wanting him to propose it.  But Tian Feng is also a human being, and he only cares about talking.

    "Marquis of Dongyang, my lord Yuan Shao is willing to accept your proposal. From now on, fighting will ensure the lives of the people." Tian Feng said.

    Hearing these words, Zhong Yao¡¯s hands trembled. Mmp, I knew it would sell well. Could it be that restricting Dongyang Hou¡¯s military expansion has become my sole responsibility?

    "My lord, Cao Cao, is also willing."

    Zhong Yao immediately added.

    Because I heard that the Marquis of Dongyang was not particularly friendly towards the envoy.

    "However, the premise is that Dongyang Hou guarantees that his military strength will not exceed one million!" Tian Feng's words revealed murderous intent.

    This is what is called praising you first, then criticizing you.

    Zhong Yao quickly added, saying: "Dongyang Hou, your crazy expansion of the army is contrary to your ideas! You are dragging more people into the war."

    Neither of them are fuel efficient.

    "The problem is, the number of troops in Yangzhou has reached 1.2 million. What do you think we should do?" Liu Kedao.

    It¡¯s very simple, just disarmament.When the words came to his lips, Zhong Yao couldn't say them out. He was afraid that if he spoke out, he would never be able to return to Chang'an.

    The same goes for Tian Feng. He knows that this is Liu Ke's bottom line.

    The two looked at each other and had a great understanding.

    Zhong Yao coughed and said, "Can you ask the Marquis of Dongyang to maintain the current strength of the army?"

    "The attitude is good and the tone is good, but why should I listen to you?" Liu Kedao said.

    Zhong Yao and Tian Feng don¡¯t know what to say. Haven¡¯t we already acknowledged your claim?

    ??

    The good traditions of the nation have been eaten by you?

    When dealing with the Marquis of Dongyang, you shouldn¡¯t give benefits first!

    Tian Feng was speechless for a moment.

    "Marquis Dongyang, this is for the sake of the people of the world!" Zhong Yao said.

    In short, for the sake of the people of the world, this burden is more useful at any time.

    "There are too many foreign races that threaten Lelang County. I must increase our troops to protect them," Liu Kedao said.

    Zhong Yao has never seen such a shameless person protecting Lelang County?

    If the intelligence is correct, the foreigners on the peninsula were killed by Dongyang Hou.

    Too many alien races?

    This is even more of a joke.

    Now Yangzhou has an army of 1.2 million, which is more than the total population of a foreign country.

    "Marquis Dongyang, Yangzhou does not need so many troops. As long as you agree not to expand the army, we can sign an armistice agreement and there will be no war within ten years." Zhong Yao said.

    Liu Ke sneered, those who need time now are Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.  Liu Ke is not stupid, how could he give them ten years?

    "You're right. Why don't we sign it for a hundred years." Liu Kedao.

    "" Zhong Yao, this is not what I said.

    Tian Feng couldn't stand Liu Ke's nonsense and said: "Our opinion is that Dongyang Marquis should maintain the current military strength and no longer expand the army. Dongyang Marquis, what is your opinion?"

    This was a direct showdown and concessions were made.

    Liu Ke knows his own abilities. An army of 1.2 million is just right, and an army of 2 million will definitely break through.  The reason why he spread the rumors was of course because he wanted something.

    "The princes of the world, please reiterate the Autumn Hunting Agreement." Liu Ke said without any doubt.

    In other words, the promises made by Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are not enough. Liu Zhang and Sun Ce need to reiterate it again.

    Tian Feng agreed on the spot, but Zhong Yao had no objection.

    The three largest forces have agreed, who dares to object?

    ¡°Besides, I¡¯ve already admitted it once before, so it¡¯s not a shame to admit it again.

    This is also for the sake of all people in the world.

    So, Liu Ke¡¯s proposition once again caused a sensation in the Central Plains.

    Unlike the Qiuchu period, this time Gongsun Du also joined in, which means that all the princes of the Han Dynasty followed Liu Ke's advice.

    Liu Ke¡¯s first step in formulating rules has been achieved.

    In this case, the envoys were of no use, and Liu Ke drove them away directly.

    ?Clean and neat.

    Zhong Yao and Tian Feng thought they had completed their mission, so they went back to resume their lives.

    In short, everyone takes what they need.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
