    In early April, Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao reached an agreement. Yuan Shao personally led an army of 50,000 people across the Yellow River and advanced to Yanzhou. Yuan Shu sent his troops north to threaten Cao Cao's rear, preparing to assist Yuan Shao in forcing Cao Cao to surrender, or to give up Yanzhou and join the two Yuan's territories.  Into one piece.  Facing the powerful forces of the two Yuan Dynasties, Cao Cao had no room for compromise. After discussing with his subordinates, he finally announced his break with Yuan Shao and formally surrendered to the court.  At the same time, he retreated to Suiyang and waited for reinforcements.  After receiving the report of Cao Cao's surrender, Huangfu Song, the Taifu who stayed in Luoyang, responded immediately and ordered Wei General Xu Huang to lead an army of 10,000 people out of Chenliu, and formed an alliance with Zhennan General Zhang Yan to guard Cao Cao's west side.  He also ordered Xuzhou Governor Tao Qian to guard Pengcheng, and Qingzhou Yellow Turban Marshal Guan Hai to guard Mount Tai to protect Cao Cao's east side.  After receiving this news, Cao Cao wanted to cry but had no tears.  This is obviously going to push him into the fire pit. On this front from east to west, the weakest one is Suiyang, which Cao Cao is guarding, and the one with the greatest pressure is also Suiyang.  As long as Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are not bad, they will definitely go all out to attack Suiyang and strive to open contact in the shortest possible time.  But Cao Cao couldn't refuse. Who could have allowed him to rebel?  This is the opportunity given to him by Huangfu Song to make meritorious deeds. Only by winning this battle and defending Suiyang can he make his meritorious service a crime. Otherwise, the Cao family will be exterminated.  Will he be buried with the Yuan family or reborn from the ashes?  Cao Cao didn't have much choice but to bite the bullet and ordered to defend Suiyang.  ¡é¨K³¤¡é¨K·ç¡é¨Kliterature¡é¨Kxue, ww¡÷¡û¡éet After receiving the news, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu did not hesitate much and immediately advanced into Suiyang. An army of 80,000 people surrounded Suiyang.  Attack day and night.  Cao Cao personally went into battle and defended the city. From time to time, he sent his dragons to attack Yuan's army who dared to approach the city wall.  Suiyang is adjacent to the Suishui River and has a wide moat. It is a good battlefield for the dragon to show off his talents.  Although Long didn't kill many people, his powerful fighting power daunted Yuan Jun's officers. For a time, forcing the moat to cross became a task that everyone feared.  Yuan Shao was very upset about this. He always regarded Cao Cao as his younger brother, but he didn't expect that he was slapped in the face by his younger brother in the end.  Cao Cao has a dragon.  But he has never been able to hatch the phoenix bird.  In the end, even the phoenix eggs were snatched away by Xi Zhicai. It was really embarrassing and the family was lost.  Yuan Shao was furious and practiced the formation all night, relying on the power of the formation to confront Cao Cao's dragon.  Outside Suiyang City.  The north bank of Suishui River.  There were shouts for practicing the formation.  The vitality of heaven and earth within a radius of dozens of miles was stirred, and for a while people were panicked and all beasts were uneasy.  Cao Cao wears his helmet on his head.  Standing at the top of the city, squinting his eyes and looking at Yuan Jun's army in the distance, he looked puzzled.  "Fengxiao, what can I do?" Guo Jia smiled disapprovingly: "General, is there any way out?" Cao Cao smacked his lips, his face full of bitterness.  If he had a way out, why would he push himself into this dead end?  "General, do you think the imperial court would like the two Yuans to join forces in Suiyang?" "I can't say, it doesn't matter to the emperor whether they get along, it's just a little more trouble. But it doesn't matter to me.  Same. If Suiyang City is destroyed, my head will definitely be chopped off by Yuan Shao to make a wine vessel." Guo Jia laughed.  "General, don't worry. No matter how powerful Yuan Shao's formation is, he won't be able to break through Suiyang City. Maybe he will give the general a chance to break through. If he puts himself to death and survives, the emperor will march in front of a cloud of fierce generals. If the general's realm cannot  If there is another breakthrough, it is impossible for the emperor to value the general with just one dragon." Cao Cao turned to look at Guo Jia, his eyes rolled in thought.  ¡­ Cheng Yu hurriedly hurried and caught up with Liu Bian in Dangyang.  Along the way, he suffered a lot.  He felt that he was already walking very fast, but he didn't expect that he was still not as fast as Liu Bian.  When he arrived in Luoyang, Liu Bian had just left Luoyang.  By the time he got the news and hurriedly chased after him, Liu Bian had already arrived in Xiangyang.  By the time he arrived in Xiangyang, Liu Bian had already left Xiangyang for two days.  If it weren't for the fact that the pace was slowed down by the accompanying infantry, Cheng Yu would have to wait until Jiangling to see Liu Bian.  Cheng Yu finally had a personal experience of Liu Bian's marching speed.  When he thought about this, Cheng Yu felt a little scared.  Soldiers are valuable and quick, this is a truth that everyone who uses the army knows, but the Central Plains army, which is mainly infantry, cannot compete with the Northern Army, which is mainly cavalry, let alone Liu Bian, who is all cavalry.  If Cao Cao had a sudden thought and decided to fight the imperial court to the end, he would have to face Liu Bian's lightning-fast attack. How long could he last?  Maybe one battle can decide the outcome.  After the report, Cheng Yu was brought to Liu Bian.  Unlike the last time they met on the Kunming Chilou ship, Liu Bian was now wearing armor and his royal wealth was gone. However, murderous intent rushed towards his face, making Cheng Yu a little scared and instinctively being a little more careful.    Just because he doesn¡¯t take other people¡¯s lives seriously doesn¡¯t mean he doesn¡¯t take his own life seriously.  After Cheng Yu finished his salute and before he could speak, Liu Bian spoke.  "You don't need to explain your purpose, I understand it." Cheng Yu opened his mouth, swallowed back the words he had prepared, and said honestly: "Your Majesty is wise." "Cao Cao wants to abandon the dark side and return to the bright side, and return to the court.  Of course I won't turn away people thousands of miles away. But if you make a mistake, you must be punished. Otherwise, how can you distinguish between good and evil and avoid loyalty?" Cheng Yu sweated like rain and nodded repeatedly.  Kuai Yue, who was standing aside and watching with cold eyes, smiled.  "Your Majesty, it is a matter of course to reward meritorious deeds and punish delinquents. However, General Cao has less than 10,000 soldiers and only ten generals. However, the Yuan brothers, relying on the hope of the world, have more than 100,000 troops. Since General Cao decided to punish the merits, naturally  We are not afraid of life and death, but if the Yuan brothers join forces, it will be detrimental to Shandong." Liu Bian's eyes were slightly cold: "Are you worried that Cao Cao is unable to do what he wants?" "Yes, I am worried that General Cao is powerless and delays His Majesty's plan to suppress the rebellion.  , It will harm your majesty's honor." "Then let Cao Cao come to my side, and I will send another general to guard Yan Yu. How about it?" Cheng Yu immediately closed his mouth and did not dare to say a word again.  If Cao Cao is asked to leave Yanyu, go to Liu Bian's side and take orders, and send someone else to take over Yanyu's defense, wouldn't Cao Cao be doomed?  Liu Bian sneered and waved his hand: "Go back and ask Cao Cao whether he has confidence. If he doesn't have confidence, I can send someone to replace him at any time." "However, I will definitely tell General Cao." Cheng Yu said quietly.  retreat.  When Cheng Yu got into the car and left in panic, Kuai Yue couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, are you really not worried that Cao Cao will have different intentions again? He is not a person who sticks to loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness. If he joins forces with the Yuan brothers again,  , I'm afraid Qingxu will be poisoned." Liu Bian laughed.  "Xidu, it is precisely because Cao Cao is a villain who does not talk about loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and justice, but only interests, that's why he will not rebel again. Once he rebels, there is still a chance to correct his evil ways. If he rebels again, will the Cao family still have a way to survive? That's right.  , Cao Cao may risk his life, but what can he achieve? His biggest reliance is that he has a dragon, but what does his dragon mean to me? " Kuai Yue blinked,  Smile with relief.  That's right, although he had been with Liu Bian for a few days, he never saw Liu Bian's dragon and unconsciously ignored it.  Cao Cao has a dragon, but doesn¡¯t Liu Bian have a dragon?  Cao Cao's dragon is indeed very powerful for ordinary people, enough to give him the confidence to bargain when facing Yuan Shao.  But facing Liu Bian, a real dragon, how could Cao Cao have the courage to fight.  "Your Majesty, I was negligent." Kuai Yue said with some yearning: "I hope to see your Majesty's dragon display its power soon, and also to open my eyes to see the magic of dragons." "It's better not to see it.  ." Liu Bian frowned slightly, feeling a little worried.  He is now busy with the war, and his training will be delayed again, but Long is concentrating on training in Xuanming Sea. Without Xi Zhicai's threat to it, its training progress will be faster, will it be overtaken by it, and finally lose control again?  He really wasn't sure.  Because of this, he hoped to complete the counterinsurgency war in the shortest possible time and focus on his practice and his mission again.  "Why?" "Although the dragon is not a vicious creature as Confucianism says, it is not a benevolent person either. It only cares about strength and can do good or evil. It is not easy to control it.  ." Liu Bian stood up and shook his cloak.  "The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, and the greater the ambition. Xunzi said that human nature is inherently evil. Whether you can control your own evil thoughts and use your ability for good is also a test. It is easy to defeat others, but difficult to defeat yourself.  Honesty is the most reasonable thing to say." Kuai thought about it and smiled: "Your Majesty has reached this level, so you have such worries. It is not easy for ordinary people like me to win, so why would you consider winning?  To defeat yourself before defeating others is just to deceive yourself." Liu Bian looked at Kuai Yue in surprise.  "Yes, this is also very important. Xiandu, you are indeed a genius, you are not comparable to such a pedantic scholar." "I am not a real Confucian in the first place." Kuai Yue laughed disapprovingly.  "Your Majesty, what our Kuai family truly inherits is the art of vertical and horizontal movements. What we have studied the most is "Warring States Policy", not the Confucian classics." Liu Bian suddenly realized this and couldn't help but smile.  He understood what Kuai Yue meant.  Kuai Yue didn't just want to echo him, but tactfully expressed that he was different from Confucianism and hoped to keep a distance from Confucianism, so as not to become a victim of Confucianism's policies inexplicably.  This is the advantage of being a close minister of the emperor. If you have anything to say, you can always find an opportunity to say it. There is no need for a serious memorial at all, and the effect is better than a serious memorial.  "ZonghengTechnique, it is of little use when the world is unified, but it is of great use when the powerful forces confront each other.  Liu Bian turned around and looked at Kuai Yue: "The Central Plains is too small for you."  In Xenogeum, you should go to the Western Region, where there is a vast sky.  " Kuai Yue was overjoyed and quickly bowed to express his thanks. "As long as your Majesty wishes, I will do anything.  "(To be continued)
