Chapter 143: Let's Find Someone To Support Us

The early 1,000 rear troops that Cao Hong deployed not far from the front were directly dispelled by Hua Xiong. No one is a fool, so they all ran faster than a rabbit. Seeing such a lacking character, they will never die if there is no need to carry it hard.

Although Hua Xiong's marching speed is fast, it is still thousands of people moving together. Which is not as fast as a group of people riding out to spread the message.

When Hua Xiong led the troops to Dongping, Cao Cao, who was in Shanyang, had already learned the latest information.

"Oh, how trustful this Liu Bei is! I didn't expect that such an important thing as tribute would be entrusted to Hua Xiong. And now he had a face-to-face meeting with His Majesty and wash away the stains on his body. I thought it would just be a regular official courtesy to deal with this matter. Unexpectedly, it was Hua Xiong. It seems that this person is aspiring for the world!" Cao Cao sighed deeply after reading the information.

Since Chen Xi defeated a million Yellow Turbans and gathered them, Cao Cao has stayed in Shanyang and planned to study on what happened to Liu Bei. It can be said that Taishan's situation cannot be better than Chenliu's. Liu Bei has the support of Tao Qian, and Cao Cao has Zhang Miao to send him food. Why is it that the more he understands, the more he feels that the gap is bigger?

So Cao Cao shelved his plan to go to Taishan and began to study Taishan carefully. The more he studied, the more he felt that Chen Xi's method was very promising, but the problem was that Taishan's method was only suitable for Taishan. It was because there was no family there...

Dian Wei, who was standing on the side like a wall, hummed but did not speak. But humming at this time was enough to show his dissatisfaction.

"Dian Wei, what do you have to say?" Cao Cao knew what Dian Wei was thinking when he heard Dian Wei's humming voice, so he smiled and asked.

"Dian Wei believes that he is not weaker than his Hua Xiong. Please give me a chance to fight him!" Dian Wei said with a fist push out. The muscles lump the body seemed to crush the armor.

"Hahaha!" Cao Cao laughed, "Liu Bei has some fierce generals like you under him. Let's go, let's stop Hua Xiong. I also want to see the formation that Cao Hong said!"

Just as Cao Cao was about to take his guard Dian Wei to see Hua Xiong, Xun Yu appeared. "Lord, Yongzhou Zhong Yao has sent information. Li Jue, and Guo Si led 300,000 troops to defeat Lu Bu. The crown prince teacher was killed under the Chang'an city."

After saying that, Xun Yu handed the bamboo slip to Cao Cao. Then Cao Cao looked at the slip and his face became more gloomy the more he look. "The rebel dare to do this!" He got up directly from the anger and smashed the slip on the table.

"Lord, please calm down your anger. The emperor is fine. We still have time to accumulate our strength and grab the emperor." Xun Yu said calmly. The suffering of the emperor is simply unacceptable to people like Xun Yu.

Cao Cao sighed, and his original intention of blocking Hua Xiong was also extinguished. "Xun Yu, do we still have enough food?"

"There is only one month's worth of food left. In addition to the Yellow Turbans chaos, the fields we reclaimed last year have basically been abandoned, and there will be considerable vacancies for our seeds and farm tools in the summer. Even if we plant the summer seeds on time, there are still four months before the autumn harvest. The most important thing is that we have more than half a million refugees." Xun Yu said helplessly. The lack of food is always a big problem.

Cao Cao didn't hear Xun Yu's words at all. His previous question was just to make sure that Xun Yu was not to focus on his look, so that he would not notice anything.

Cao Cao's current thoughts were still on the previous information. Under the coercion of Li Jue and Guo Si, Wang Yun had jumped off the city wall and die. Liu Xie didn't even dare to say a word to defend Wang Yun. He only lower his head and let Wang Yun jump off the wall in despair. Then he ordered the extermination of the whole family and abandon the corpse in the wild.

Cao Cao didn't know how to describe his current mood, whether it was disappointment or frustration.

If Liu Xie had even said a word of defense, Wang Yun would never regret his choice. Even if he eventually had to jump off the city wall, he would scold Li Jue and Guo Si as a rebel. He would definitely not jump off the city wall without saying a word as if he wanted to go underground! And then there will be countless people with lofty ideals who would enthusiastically serve the country with their life. But Liu Xie succumbed and he didn't dare to say a word. What are you afraid of?

It is impossible for Li Jue and Guo Si to kill him. The emperor Liu Bian died, and the warlords defeated Dong Zhuo. Now Li Jue and Guo Si simply cannot resist the coalition forces of the warlords around the world. They do not really dare to hurt Liu Xie. At most, they will intimidate.

[The king regard his courtiers like his hands and feet, and the courtiers regard the king like his heart; the king regard his courtiers like dogs and horses, and the courtiers regard the king like a countryman; the king regard his courtiers like soil, and the courtiers regard the king like enemies!] Cao Cao's thought of such a sentence in his heart. Then suddenly it seemed his aura grew stronger as if a layer of wall had faded away.

[The king regard his courtiers like soil...] Cao Cao sighed, and a seed slowly took root in the bottom of his heart.

"Lord!" Xun Yu frowned slightly and said.

"Hmm. Xun Yu doesn't need to worry, I just feel a little bit empathetic because of the information. Now, let's continue to talk about business. Is there a huge food shortage?" Cao Cao smiled and apologized to Xun Yu. He didn't care at all as to what identity the monarch thought of him.

"The gap is huge. Even if the Yanzhou family are helping, the difference is too much. Generally speaking, the government has insufficient funds and food. Normal methods are not enough to make up for the difference. We can only deal with this matter in other ways." A trace of cold light flashed in Xun Yu's eyes as he said this. Then he calmed down again. Sometimes it was necessary to maintain enough peace to complete the plan.

"You have a plan?" Cao Cao said with some excitement. The issue of food has always been his fatal problem, and Xun Yu can actually figure out a solution.

"Since we have insufficient food in Yanzhou, then we will eat our enemy foods. We have no food, but Taishan, Xuzhou, and Yuzhou all have food!" Xun Yu said with a cold light in his eyes.

"After the coalition of warlords challenged Dong Zhuo, the power of the world could be divided into two groups. Dong Zhuo on one side and the coalition on the other. However, because of Yuan Shao ​​and Yuan Shu, the warlords coalition were divided into two forces. It was centered on Jizhou and Yuzhou. This is also the key to why Chen Xi was still able to suppress Jizhou even though he was in a weak position. Because when he was putting pressure on Yuan Shao, he had the strength of the combination of his own powerful military art and the support of the forces centered on Yuzhoz. As a result, there is enough time to cultivate and recuperate!" Xun Yu slowly explained the situation of the world.

"And now we must also choose a force. Although we have been on the same road as Yuan Shao ​​before, there is no real alliance after all. This time we will also strengthen ourselves with Yuan Shao forces. In this world, it is not only Liu Bei that can get the support of others. Some people wants to support us too!" A gentle smile appeared on Xun Yu's face.

Seeing Xun Yu's smile, Cao Cao immediately felt relieved. Every time Xun Yu showed a smile, it could be said that the situation has been settled. Since Xun Yu said so, it is impossible to be a joke.
