    The red royal flag was fluttering in the wind. Under the big flag, Emperor Xian was riding on a free horse, looking at the northern horizon with some confusion.  After waiting in the biting cold wind for so long, Emperor Xian's face had turned red from the cold, his body could not help but begin to tremble, and even his own thoughts were frozen in the ice and snow.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? hundreds of well-dressed ministers and hundreds of courtiers in luxurious clothes. All the famous officials in Xuchang City are here. They have been lining up for most of the day, and their bodies are starting to feel a little numb.  Two days ago, I came to report that Prime Minister Cao had defeated the rebel Yuan Shao in Guandu and would make a triumphant return today.  Emperor Xian's expectation of King Qin came much faster than he imagined, but he was disappointed even faster.  Although he was reluctant, Emperor Xian still had to wait outside the city gate with all the officials in the city.  [bsp; "Your Majesty, it's almost midnight, and the Prime Minister still hasn't come back. Why don't we go back to the palace for dinner first." Fu Wan, the abbot, approached Emperor Xian cautiously, "Guandu is probably hundreds of miles away from Xudu.  Even if the Prime Minister and the three armies rush on a starry night, they may not be able to come back today. It is better to send a detective horse to explore first, and report back to His Majesty as soon as there is any news. Your Majesty's dragon body is important and has been blowing in the cold wind. If  ¡¤¡¤¡¤¡±

    Emperor Xian lowered his head and looked at Fu Wan, smiled helplessly, and whispered: "With the current situation, even if Cao Cao asks me to stay up until this time tomorrow, I still have to be obedient."

    Fu Wan looked gloomy. He was about to say something when he suddenly heard someone behind him shouting: "It's back! It's the Prime Minister's army! The Prime Minister is back!"

    After laying down, he raised his head and looked to the north, and saw thousands of cavalry rushing out of the rising snow and dust. The cavalry held thousands of bright red flags high. The flags covered the sky and the sun, like rolling red waves.

    "When did Cao Cao form such a powerful cavalry" Fu Wan murmured.

    "It's just that the tiger has sharpened its claws and teeth." Emperor Xian smiled bitterly twice, straightened his robes and straightened his back, "Let us welcome the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, my loyal minister."

    Xun Yu walked out of the waiting team, bowed to Emperor Xian, and said with some concern: "Your Majesty, the prime minister's cavalry arrived too fast, why not let the ministers go to greet them first."

    Emperor Xian glanced at Xun Yu and thought unhappily: Aren't you Cao Cao's best friend and lackey? How can you pretend to be a good person at this time? Even if Cao Cao comes with his troops and kills me and seizes my royal flag, you  I can only clap my hands and praise Cao Cao for his courage.

    "I won't bother you anymore, Mr. Xun." Emperor Xian waved his hand, "If Mr. Xun doesn't mind, just wait with me at the front of the team."

    Xun Yu sighed lowly and retreated into the group.  The cavalry rushed in front of them in an instant. Cao Cao jumped on his horse, and under his crotch was the yellow flying lightning that Cao Cao would ride every time he triumphed.  Cao Cao raised his whip high on horseback, and the powerful trumpet sound immediately sounded in his ears. The tiger and leopard cavalry shouted long live in unison with the trumpet, and stopped the iron hooves amidst the roar of the mountains.

    Facing the unstoppable tiger and leopard cavalry, Emperor Xian's heart jumped. He was in the cold wind, but felt that his whole body was heating up manically. Emperor Xian clenched his fists tightly, and he didn't even notice that his nails were deeply embedded in his palms.  After a long time, Emperor Xian let go of his hand, pretending to be calm and said: "Thank you for your hard work, Prime Minister."

    All the tiger and leopard cavalry have dismounted, holding the reins and half kneeling on the ground.  Cao Cao hung the whip at his side and dismounted, his red cloak fluttering in the wind.  He stepped forward slowly and stood in front of Emperor Xian's horse.  Emperor Xian pursed his lips tightly and stared into Cao Cao's eyes, trying not to show panic.  The surroundings suddenly became quiet, no one was talking to each other, and it seemed that the only sound left in the world was the sound of the wind blowing the flags.

    "Your Majesty." Cao Cao knelt down on one knee and bowed his hands respectfully: "Thanks to the power of heaven, I defeated the traitor Yuan Shao in Guandu. Today, I will return to the court. I don't want to have to go out of the city to greet you. I am really scared."

    Emperor Xian was stunned for a while. Cao Cao went to the palace without paying homage. It had been a long time since he had entered the court with swords and shoes. Today, he was suddenly so respectful, and he felt a little uncomfortable.  He turned his head blankly, only to see that all the courtiers behind him had knelt down on the ground at some point - Cao Cao had knelt down and worshiped, but they did not dare to continue standing in awe.

    Emperor Xian¡¯s face changed slightly, he calmed himself down, and said: ¡°The Prime Minister has indeed lived up to my expectations, defeated the rebels, and returned victorious. I am deeply gratified.¡±

    "I have been blessed by God, how dare I not try my best." A smile appeared on Cao Cao's lips, "I was ordered to go out this time. There were six decisive battles. Our army suffered more than 3,400 casualties and killed Yuan Shao's rebels.  More than 72,000 people intercepted more than 1,300 war horses, more than 2,000 loads of grain and grass, and countless military equipment, etc., which have not yet been completely inventoried. Our army killed Hebei generals Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Chunyu Qiong and ten others before the battle.  Three people, including General Pi and forty-one, Yuan Shao has already fled back to Liyang and cannot escape."

      Emperor Xian nodded slightly and remained silent.

    Cao Cao stood up, bowed to Emperor Xian and said: "Your Majesty, there has never been such a great victory since your Majesty came to the throne. I am brave enough to ask your Majesty to change the reign name to commemorate this victory and show your Majesty's might!"

    "Gaiyuan" Emperor Xian was stunned for a moment, unable to sit still, and swayed on his horse.  Although it was common for an emperor to change his reign title during his reign, it sounded to Emperor Xian that Cao Cao was forcing himself to abdicate and establish a new emperor.  At the same time, the expressions of some of the courtiers behind Emperor Xian also changed. If there were no tiger and leopard cavalry to protect Cao Cao, they would be ready to come directly to fight this rebellious minister and traitor.

    Cao Cao looked at everyone's reaction, and the smile on his lips became thicker: "Before your majesty makes a decision, I have one more thing to offer to your majesty."

    Cao Cao turned around and took a vermilion wooden box from the hands of an attendant.  Cao Cao held the wooden box in front of Emperor Xian and said, "Your Majesty, when Yuan Shao fled north, he left behind this wooden box containing letters. In them are letters secretly communicated by Xu Du and people in our army. These annoying things,  I don¡¯t want to look at it, so I sealed it and present it to His Majesty today.¡±

    Emperor Xian¡¯s hands trembled slightly as he took the wooden box from Cao Cao, but did not open it. He just kept stroking the lid of the box and remained silent for a long time.  At the end, Emperor Xian finally pondered: "What do you want, Prime Minister?"

    "With Yuan Shao's strength at the time, I couldn't protect myself, let alone others?" Cao Cao still smiled lightly, "I sincerely request your majesty to burn these letters to reassure everyone."

    Hearing what Cao Cao said, Emperor Xian breathed a long sigh of relief.  He had already seen Cao Cao's cruelty in Dong Cheng's case. Today, he was able to be lenient and let go of those who betrayed him, which can be regarded as a great mercy.  Seeing Emperor Xian's reaction, Cao Cao took a step closer and bowed to Emperor Xian again, showing an extremely humble look: "I sincerely request your Majesty to change the Yuan Dynasty to Jian'an in order to establish a stable world!"

    "I expected that the Prime Minister would have some plans when he presented the book." Emperor Xian smiled lowly, took a deep breath, and said loudly: "Instruct the Imperial Heavenly Supervisor to calculate the stars and choose an auspicious day. I will leave the city myself.  Worship heaven and earth and officially change the Yuan Dynasty to Jian'an!"

    The crowd was strangely silent for a while, and then burst into cheers.  The scene suddenly became heated, and everyone raised their arms and shouted: "Jian'an! Jian'an! Jian'an!" Some ministers with ulterior motives shouted even harder, bursting into tears and unable to control themselves.

    Cao Cao looked at the lively crowd without any surprise on his face. He just smiled faintly and nodded slightly.

    A few days later, the historian of Xudu carved on the bamboo slips: In the spring of the first year of Jian'an, in the first month of Guiyou, the gods were worshiped in Anyi in the suburbs, and the world was amnesty, and the Yuan Dynasty was changed to Jian'an.

    This year, Sun Ce was twenty-one years old.
