The Three Kingdoms started from fooling Jia Xu

Chapter 69: Yuan Shu is the Emperor
The spring sun is shining brightly, dispelling the chill on people's bodies.

As for the endless wilderness, Zhang Xiuzheng led the army to retreat slowly, and the leader of the army covered up until noon, but seeing Cao's army fleeing in all directions, it was difficult to gain anything, so he led the army to retreat.

After all, there are still more than [-] Cao troops in Yecheng. If Guo Jia reacts and fights against an ambush, it will not be fun.

"My lord, this battle can be said to be a complete victory for our army. We have beheaded more than a thousand enemies, which is gratifying." Huang Zhong was brimming with joy, "But my lord, why did you let Cai Yang go alone at dawn?"

Zhang Xiu shook his head and said with a light smile: "Cai Yang is cautious by nature, even if our army pursues him, it will be difficult to kill him. It's better to let him go in front of Cao Jun, so he will surely die."

"The lord wants to... borrow a knife to kill someone?"

Huang Zhong narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice.

Zhang Xiu smiled and said nothing, Cai Yang is the brother of Cai Fan's clan, others may have no choice, but as long as he lets this person go back, Cai Yang will definitely die if he thinks about it.

Three days later, outside Yecheng.

Cao Jun came back gradually in groups of three or four, all of them disheartened and haggard.After running wildly for several days, they were already suffering from hunger and cold.

There was no one around, and they didn't even have the courage to be deserters.

At this time, Cao Ren led the army.

When he was defeated, he kept gathering the defeated soldiers, and more than a thousand people had gathered behind him.I saw his face was gloomy and cold, and he said anxiously: "Has the lord ever returned?"

"Go back to the general, the lord is already in the city."

Cao Ren heaved a sigh of relief, explained a few words to the general, and then he strode towards the general's mansion.

As it approaches, the government will be suppressed.

The generals bowed their heads and were speechless. Cao Cao's face has been dark these days, and he is in a very bad mood, because Cao Chun is dead, and Cao Xiu is also dead.

Many other generals have not been heard from until now.

This battle can be said to be a big defeat, a rout.

Even if he defeated Xu Rong when chasing Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu outside Puyang, he would never be as embarrassed as he is today.In this battle, he lost his soldiers and lost his generals, what a heartbreak!
"My lord, General Cao Ren is back!"

As the words came out, everyone looked out of the mansion.

Looking at the disheveled Cao Ren, Cao Cao felt relieved a lot. Everyone else can die, but Cao Ren can't.Because Cao Ren wanted to control the world's soldiers and horses for him.

"Come back, go down and rest first."

Although Cao Cao was expressionless, he was concerned.

"The general is fine." Cao Ren clasped his fists and answered, then he opened his eyes and glanced at Cai Yang, and immediately snorted coldly, "General Cai, shouldn't you explain something?"

As the words came out, everyone frowned and looked at Cai Yang in puzzlement.

"What does the general mean?" Cai Yang was stunned.

"Hmph, you know what you did. At the dawn of yesterday, Zhang Xiu led the army to chase us down, but he didn't move when he saw your general flag, Cai Yang. Dare I ask?"

Cao Ren's voice was cold and his expression was gloomy.

Cai Yang was the first to persuade him to retreat earlier, but Zhang Xiu only chased and killed the other generals during the retreat, except Cai Yang, which made him even more suspicious.

Along the way, Cao Ren recalled how they had been tricked, and it was probably the Cai brothers who colluded with the enemy.

Cai Yang's pupils shrank suddenly. He really panicked when he said this, and said anxiously: "General Cao, why didn't Zhang Xiu chase and kill me? How do I know?"

"Hmph, you still want to quibble, our army was defeated in this battle, it was because of your brother Cai's treachery, you said that Zhang Xiu had no food, and lured our army to pursue, so the army was defeated like a mountain, hateful." Cao Ren snorted coldly.

Cai Yang is completely stupid!

This woman gave birth to a child, and she spitting blood!

Cao Cao's eyes flashed coldly, and he said in a cold voice: "Cai Yang, it's in vain that I treat you well, but you colluded with Zhang Xiu and caused tens of thousands of my soldiers to die tragically. Death is really not a pity."

Cai Yang was terrified, and hurriedly knelt down and shouted: "I am wronged, my lord, this must be Zhang Xiu's trick, my lord must not believe it!"

"Come on, drag it out and chop it up!"

Cao Cao waved his hand, not allowing Cai Yang to defend himself.

He only heard the guards stepping forward to fork Cai Yang out, his voice calling for injustice resounded inside and outside the general's mansion.

The next breath, the sound stopped abruptly.

Hearing the air quiet down, Cao Cao frowned involuntarily, he regained his strength, closed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Everyone has been tired from work recently, please step back."

Everyone looked at each other and left with fists in their hands.

at this time,

Guo Jia was the only one left in the general's mansion.

Seeing Cao Cao closing his eyes and thinking in pain, Guo Jia couldn't help bowing and saying, "Cai Yang is innocent, my lord was beheaded by mistake."

"Feng Xiao, since you know why you didn't dissuade me?" Cao Cao's face was pained, and Cai Yang had followed him for many years, and he was considered loyal, but because he was angry, he beheaded him for no reason.

Guo Jia raised his head, looked at Cao Cao with eyes like torches, and immediately said sonorously and forcefully: "Because Cai Yang should be beheaded, only by beheading Cai Yang can the army's morale be stabilized."

Guo Jia knew that someone had to take the blame for the defeat of Cao Jun. If Cao Cao took the blame, the morale of the soldiers of the three armies would drop, and the only way to gain security was to use Cai Yang's head.

"That's right, he must die. Only when he dies can I feel at ease and the generals of the three armies can boost their morale." Cao Cao said with wide eyes and treacherous voice.

Guo Jia is used to it, because Cao Cao is sometimes innocent and cute, sometimes cruel, and his true qualities are undoubtedly displayed.

"Come on, tell Cao Ren to kill Cai Fan for me. Also, let him tell Cai Fan that I will take good care of his parents, wife and children after his death."

Cao Cao looked gloomy and said coldly.

"My lord, after cutting off the heads of the two, you can send someone to summon the three armies, and say that the Cai family brothers betrayed the master and begged for glory, and that they secretly colluded with Zhang Xiu and caused our army to suffer a disastrous defeat. Now let them be beheaded as a public example, as an example to others. "

Guo Jia cupped his fists and suggested.

"What Feng Xiao said is true, and the order is passed according to what the military adviser said." Cao Cao said to the guards on one side without refuting, and the two of them will surely bear the burden of this battle.

Typical contradiction transfer!
As soon as the personal guard left, a scout came quickly on the back. This scout was Xu Chang's Fei Yuwei, and he would never call it unless it was an important matter.

"My lord, your order is urgent."

Cao Cao stepped forward in twos and threes, took the bamboo raft, opened it and looked at the brocade cloth.

After a long time, he smiled.

"My lord, what did Wen Ruo say in the letter? But something happened to Lu Bu in Xuzhou? Or maybe Yuan Shu from Shouchun?" Guo Jia raised his eyebrows and asked tentatively.

Cao Cao sneered and handed the brocade cloth to Guo Jia.

"Hehe, this Yuan Shu thought he was a hero, but he never thought that he would be so stupid and proclaim himself emperor. He is really cute and silly." Cao Cao sarcastically said.

Slowly closing the brocade cloth, Guo Jia frowned, and said in a deep voice, "My lord, although Yuan Shu is stupid, he has tens of thousands of troops, so we must guard against it."

"What's more, when Yuan Shu proclaims himself emperor, the lord is the most disadvantaged. The lord worships the emperor in order to dissuade his subjects, but if there are two emperors in the Han Dynasty, who should the world listen to?"

"Jia believes that my lord should summon the princes from all walks of life to raise troops to attack Yuan, destroy Yuan Shu's puppet capital Shouchun as quickly as possible, and correct the king's teacher. Only in this way can the emperor be useful in the hands of the lord."

"Conversely, if the lord sits idly by, it is tantamount to acknowledging the Zhong clan as the emperor. In this way, there will be Li clan, Wang clan and so on in the world who are called kings. They are all emperors but become a burden."

Guo Jia talked broadly, with a sonorous and powerful voice.He even guessed that Yuan Shu would seek his own death, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.

"Feng Xiao, when do you want to use soldiers first?"
