After Liu Xie and Yuan Shao formed a confrontation situation again, it seemed to pass a little fast, and it seemed that it didn't take long to reach the early spring of 197 A.D. in the fifth year of Xingping, the earth recovered, and the Qinghe, the plain and most of the Wei County that had just been pacified had begun spring planting, and between the imperial court and Yuan Shao, it seemed that they had temporarily achieved a tacit understanding, each burying their heads in development, and one side began to digest the results in this regard, but on the other hand, it was licking the wounds, preparing to accumulate strength, and another Jedi counterattack.
According to history, it should have been three years since Jian'an, but unfortunately, with the rise of Liu Xie, no one can coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and the era name of Jian'an naturally no longer exists.
Sima Fang's death was a bit unexpected, but it was also reasonable, that was a very stubborn person, and also a person who paid great attention to reputation, the concept of the family and the country was rooted in his heart for a lifetime, and he naturally couldn't bear the collapse of the family, but Shilin's prestige, in this competition, also became his burden, Yang Biao's entrustment, the continuous troubles of the Central Plains family, made Sima Fang in a dilemma, so he chose such a way, which can not only protect the family, but also protect his reputation, if Sima Min's reaction is not so intense, Liu Xie didn't mind leaving a bloodline for the Sima family.
It's just that In the direction of the letterhead sent by Zhuang Zhong, Liu Xie sighed, Lao Aiqing, sometimes, things in this world are really not at all "Tell Zhuang Zhong to bury the Sima family."
Liu Xie turned his head, looked at the dark guard commander beside him, and said indifferently.
"Wow" The Commander of the Dark Guard respectfully agreed, and left silently.
Looking at the empty lobby, Liu Xie felt a sense of gloom in his heart, if he could, he was willing to let Sima Fang live, after all, Sima Fang had been thinking about it all these years, but in Liu Xie's most difficult time, it was these people who saved themselves.
But as an emperor, the first thing he has to worry about is not personal grievances, but the entire society, the Sima clan is too well-connected, these invisible assets, Sima Fang's death, his reputation, in his thoughts, this matter will end here.
But he didn't think about how his eight sons would react that Sima Min was very smart, Cai Yan wrote to Liu Xie more than once to praise him, but unfortunately, sometimes people are too smart, it's not a good thing, Sima Min sees it very clearly, so no matter what reason the court has, Sima Fang was forced to die by the court after all, and it is precisely because he can see it clearly that he is resentful of the court.
Not only him, but Sima Fang's other seven sons may not be as fierce as Sima Min, but resentment is inevitable, which makes Liu Xie feel at ease how to use it again, cutting grass needs to be eradicated.
It's just that after making this decision, the feeling of loneliness became serious, when he first came, those familiar people disappeared one by one, Zhong Xuan, Ding Chong, Sima Fang, these people, at the beginning, but his hardcore supporters, gave him a lot of help in the early days, and now in this field, although Liu Xie does not think that he has done anything wrong, but the feeling of loneliness is still slowly lingering in his heart, constantly fermenting.
"Wei Zhong" Liu Xie looked at the sky and said a little gloomy.
"The slave is here."
Wei Zhong hurriedly came to Liu Xie and bowed.
"I'm obviously not wrong, but why is it a little uncomfortable in my heart" Liu Xie frowned and said: "This feeling is annoying." ” "Your Majesty is a benevolent and righteous king, and Your Majesty must not bear to do this."
Wei Zhong bowed.
"The Monarch of Ha Ren and Righteousness" Liu Xie shook his head and sighed: "Emperor, there is no benevolence and righteousness, and anyone who stands in front of me will die." ” Wei Zhong didn't dare to answer again, he knew that Liu Xie didn't actually need an answer now, he just wanted to relieve this depression, and after waiting for a while, seeing that Liu Xie didn't speak again, he said cautiously: "Your Majesty, Mi Fang of the Mi family in Xuzhou has arrived in Liyang, do you want to see it?"
"Tomorrow, I'm not feeling well today, I don't want to see him, so let's be willful once."
Liu Xie shook his head, the Mi family, for today's imperial court, is the icing on the cake, the overall situation has been achieved, even if there is no Mi family, there will be no fewer people in Xuzhou who are willing to cooperate with the royal firm, but the Mi family has the highest status, and it is best to use it.
However, this Mi Zhu is also smart, and he actually sent Mi Fang directly, do you want to have no worries?
"The war in Qingzhou is almost over."
Liu Xie stood with his hands in his hands, looked in the direction of Qingzhou and smiled: "Let the Ministry of Industry prepare another batch of books and find time to transport them to Qingzhou, the conditions for the establishment of Qingzhou County School are sufficient, don't delay the time." ” In the end, Liu Xie found that he finally failed to be idle, after the beginning of spring, there are a lot of things to do, although most of them have been delegated, but macroscopically, he still needs to grasp, and finally simply took Wei Zhong and Xu Chu, walked a workshop, spring ploughing has begun, but Hanxing plough is not popular here.
Now although a small half of Jizhou has been laid, but now it is in the digestion period, if Yuan Shao can be decisive at this time, a ruthless decisive battle, and take back the three counties, maybe there is still a fight, but after the last defeat, it is obvious that Yuan Shao's sharp spirit has been knocked out, although Yuan Shao's approach is remarkable, but in Liu Xie's view, it is just a lingering breath, the longer the time drags on, after the people of Jizhou gradually adapt to the benefits brought by the new policy, when the time comes, even if Yuan Shao really defeats the imperial court, But the hearts of the three counties have been lost, so what else can they do to fight with Liu Xie What's more, even if Yuan Shao has the entire territory of Jizhou, he has been surrounded by Liu Xie, Qingzhou, Youzhou, Bingzhou and Hanoi, and the four places sent troops at the same time to let Yuan Shao, who has no generals in his hands, deal with it And when Liu Xie was busy with spring ploughing here, the south was lively, Sun Ce returned to Jiangdong not long after, he got Yuan Shu killed in battle, 100,000 Yuan troops were wiped out, or descended to the imperial court, or fled back to the land, Yuan Shu's son Yuan Yao at this time took over the almost family business that had been plagued by Yuan Shu, and did not even sit firmly, Sun Ce led the army to cross the river after two months of cultivation, Jiujiang and Lujiang counties were all occupied by Sun Ce, and Liu Xun, who was sitting in Lujiang, was defeated by Sun Ce, and finally lost the city and land, and fled back to Shouchun in embarrassment.
And Sun Ce did not stay for too long after occupying the two counties, Yuan Yao hurriedly transferred the army to meet the battle again, but at this time, the hearts of Runan people have been scattered, and Sun Ce was already quite popular when he was under Yuan Shu's command in the past.
The thirty-seven counties in Runan were occupied by Sun Ce in one fell swoop, and he gathered troops and horses to prepare to storm Shouchun.
Yuan Yao saw that Sun Ce was powerful, and Shouchun was difficult to hold his fists, so he hurriedly asked Cao Cao and Chen Qi for help, no matter what, the three parties were allies, and Sun Ce, as a vassal of Yuan Shu, broke out at this time, which can be regarded as a crime.
Chen Qi was obsessed with the pain of losing his son, coupled with the internal situation in Xuzhou, Tao Qian's two sons had been in a lot of trouble recently, and it was difficult to free up his hands, and Cao Cao was naturally unwilling to see Jiangdong gain the land of Runan, so he ordered Xiahou Yuan and Li Jin to lead an army of 30,000 to Shouchun to help Yuan Yao retreat from the enemy.
Xuzhou civil strife, Yuan, Sun, Cao three battles, for a time, the Central Plains of the beacon smoke everywhere, Sun Cedu is not afraid of the Yuan Cao coalition army, in the Huai River area with the help of the terrain, and Yuan Cao two roundabout, with the courage of the people and Zhou Yu's planning, once pressed Yuan Yao can not raise his head, if it is not for Xiahou Yuan and Li Jin several times to help, I am afraid that Shouchun has already changed hands, and the most bitter, naturally the people of the Central Plains, a large number of people are displaced, but also make a large number of displaced people flock to Luoyang or Jingxiang.
And at this time, Cao Cao's most important strategist, Xi Zhicai, not long after returning to Pengcheng, failed to carry the mandate of heaven after all, and finally failed to support it in the second month of Xiahou Yuan's army.
Pengcheng, the residence of Xi Zhicai.
Cao Cao hurriedly took Dian Wei into the mansion, and under the leadership of the scholar, he came to Xi Zhicai's room.
"How" Looking at the pale and dying Xi Zhicai, Cao Cao felt a pain in his heart and looked at Lang Zhong on the side.
"My lord, I've done my best."
Lang Zhong didn't dare to look at Cao Cao, so he bowed his head and said.
"Quack" Cao Cao was furious when he heard this, but he was stopped by Xi Zhicai.
"My lord, don't blame anyone."
Xi Zhicai took two breaths, looked at Cao Cao with a wry smile and said: "Life and death are fate, only then do I know my body, don't blame Lang Zhong, I can help me support these days, I am already satisfied." ” "Sir, don't say such disheartening words, I heard that the miracle doctor Hua Tuo is in Luoyang, even if you don't want this inheritance, you must also invite this person to Your Majesty to treat Mr."
Cao Cao grabbed Xi Zhicai's hand.
"It's not going to be better."
Xi Zhicai smiled bitterly, took Cao Cao's hand and said, "Lord, I have a few words, I hope the lord will remember." ” "Sir, please."
"The general trend of the court has become, now although Yuan Shao is stubbornly resistant, but only dying, but the court to swallow Yuan Shao's power, it will take several years, this time, for the lord, is very precious, if the lord wants to have the foundation, at this moment must not be the enemy of the court, when accumulating their own strength, Chen Qi lost his son, Tao Qian's two sons fought for power, in terms of the lord, but it is a good opportunity to get Xuzhou, the lord can not miss it."
"Be sure to keep it in mind."
Cao Cao nodded solemnly, looking at Xi Zhicai's weak appearance, his heart ached.
"Now Miaocai is in Shouchun to contain Sun Ce, this is the time when the lord is in trouble, do not hesitate, after going down to Xuzhou, the lord should wait for the opportunity to take Jiangdong, there is the Yangtze River moat, this can be the foundation of the lord's body, as long as he takes Jiangdong, whether it is to the court or to divide the party, the lord can make his own decisions."
"In addition, Zhongde is stubborn, and if Wen's mind is difficult to understand, the lord should seek the help of wise men to achieve great things."

Xi Zhicai said abruptly.
"It's just that where can you get talents," Cao Cao said bitterly.
"I have one person, recommended to the lord, the lord should ask for it in person, as for whether he can get it, it all depends on the lord's ability."
Xi Zhicai said with a smile.
"Who" "This person's name is Lu Su, is a wise man in Linhuai, Xuzhou, I have several sides of the relationship with it, its chest is slight, not inferior to me, when you can help the lord of the hand, but I heard that this person, and Jiangdong Zhou Lang is quite friendly, the lord tried to ask for it, if you can't get it, you should kill it, so as to avoid its future troubles."
Cao Cao nodded indifferently and kept these words in his heart.
"In addition, cough cough" Xi Zhicai coughed fiercely a few times, and pulled Cao Cao and said: "Within five years, if you can't occupy all the land in Jiangdong, the lord should find a way out." ” What is the way out, Xi Zhicai didn't say, but Cao Cao understood and nodded silently.
Xi Zhicai said something, as if he had exhausted his whole strength, and after the entrustment was completed, he coughed violently, Cao Cao hurriedly called Lang Zhong, and tried his best to make Xi Zhicai's condition gradually stabilized, but as Lang Zhong said, he was already powerless, and that night, Xi Zhicai suddenly vomited blood.
The wisdom that followed him for several years, leaving like this, was undoubtedly a great blow to Cao Cao, Cao Cao was grief-stricken, had a headache, and fainted directly. t1706231537:
