Cui Jun thought for a while and said, "Can you turn to deal with our army after annexing Yuan Shu's troops?"

Xun You shook his head and said, "This is just one. It is natural for him to be eyeing Yuan Shu and Yuzhou, engulf his people and occupy his city. If he only wants to deal with Yuan Shu, he could have divided some of his troops, crossed Chencang secretly, secretly returned to the army, joining with the stalemate in Yuzhou, and suddenly taking Yuzhou and throwing Luoyang back to his lord. Wouldn't he get Yuzhou and praise from the court?"

Cui Jun nodded slightly: "It seems that Cao Cao has a different ambition and is more difficult to deal with than the two Yuans."

Seeing that they couldn't discuss it for a while, Liu He had to give up.

"A general comes to block the water and soil. Even if Cao Cao gets Yuan Shu's troops, it is far from our army. If he changes something, I can wipe it out at any time."

Xun Yu said, "What are the plans of the lord?"

Liu He looked at the sky outside the study and said slowly: "Immediately Issued an edict to praise Cao Cao for regaining the capital for the court, defeating the rebel Yuan Shu, and ordered him to clean all parts of the city, inside and outside the palace. A month later, I personally led a large army of 100,000 to welcome the emperor to return to the court."

Xun Yu said, "If the lord wants to go to Luoyang, it can be fast or slow. One month is enough to make Cao Cao chase and enter Yuzhou, completely wipe out Yuan Shu, and take over his troops. At that time, Cao Cao will have no less than 160,000 troops. If he guards the dangerous passes inside and outside Luoyang, and then attacks the lord and the emperor, he is afraid that our army will be extremely difficult to escape."

Xun You also agreed: "Yes, with the advice of his subordinates, within ten days, he would purchase a large amount of food and grass, and then he immediately sent a large army to go. At the same time, he recalled the pass, and the two generals Zhao had a total of 30,000 cavalry to station in Henoi. If there was any change, he would rush to support Luoyang in half a day. He would recruit Zhang, Gao's second general, and lead Han Wuzhan and Jindao Camp to station in Shangdang. General Zhao Ye led Shenji Camp and 20,000 infantry to station in Hedong. Three large armies formed a juncture and threatened Luoyang."

"In addition, if he can successfully occupy Luoyang, he should be promoted to Cao Cao and surrendered in secret, so he can be regarded as General Wei, stay in the court, and send our generals to take over all his troops and stationed in Yan and Yu states. Even if he has any ambitions and plans, he will be like a rootless duckweed, and it will be difficult to do anything."

Cui Jun echoed, "Yes, Cao Cao's messenger has not arrived yet. He must have deliberately delayed the time. He wanted to wait until he completely destroyed Yuan Shu before asking our army to go there so that he could have enough time to make arrangements. However, he did not expect that the lord, the Flying Eagle Guard, was always staring at Luoyang's movements. In one day, all the news in Luoyang will be known. If he wants to slow down, our army will be fast."

After the two of them said this, Liu He also understood it completely.

"Okay, according to Gongda and Zhouping's words, I will immediately call you and inform all the ministers that they will set off for Luoyang ten days later!"

As soon as the news came out, all the ministers in the court were cheerful and overjoyed. They thought that it would take at least one or two years to wait for Liu He to send troops to capture Luoyang. However, they did not expect that they would be able to return the capital so soon, which means that their achievements in "supporting the new king" were already in front of them.

For a moment, all the ministers rushed to tell the mansion, eager to decide the list of recommendations proposed on that day as soon as possible. After the establishment of the new dynasty, with such great achievements, the people on these lists will definitely be greatly valued.

The people in the city were also very happy and wept. They were also honored for such a big event. As for those business travelers, they were even more surprised. After evacuating Luoyang, many business travelers suffered a lot of losses. Now that they have returned to Luoyang, their business has been expanded and they can support the construction of Yunhai County so as to contribute more to their own title.

At this time, Cao Cao was personally leading his army to pursue Yuan Shu's remnants. At night, Cao Cao's face was as deep as water in the camp.

"Our army defeated Yuan Shu only three days ago. How could Liu He have learned two days ago that even the emperor's imperial edict has been sent to me. Is this person a little too informed, right?"

Cheng Yu was also puzzled: "From Hanoi to Luoyang to inquire about the news and then send it back to Taiyuan, it will take at least two days to travel day and night. Find the traces of our army and order people to pass the imperial edicts. At the earliest, it will take four or five days. Liu He can do it within three days. It can only prove that he has sent people to secretly monitor all the movements of our army. I am afraid that when our army just launched an ambush against Yuan Shu, the news had already reached Jinyang City, and wherever our army went, there were people monitoring them in real time."

Xiahou Dun looked shocked: "If this is the case, Liu He's method would be too shocking, right? If he is enemies of him in the future, where will our army be ambushed and stationed, isn't it exposed? What secrets can we tell?"

Cao Cao's face turned ashen, holding the edict inlaid with golden silk patterns in his hand, and said in a decisive tone: "Liu He must die. In the past, I thought I had overestimated him, but now I know that this person has many methods and is endless. If he cannot take this opportunity to kill him, he will probably have no chance to do it again in the future."

"Yes, after our army defeated, we did not immediately send a message to Jinyang. I am afraid that Liu He would have suspicious. Now that he has 100,000 troops coming along, he must have wanted to take over all parts of Luoyang and squeeze our army out of the territory of Sili. If he succeeds, the next step will be that the emperor will be in the forefront and hundreds of thousands of troops will be in the forefront, and the lord will be in the forefront and the lord will be in the forefront. If the lord does not follow, he will have to follow."

Cheng Yu said anxiously.

Xiahou Yuan said: "But our army has not yet succeeded in pursuing Yuan Shu. If we return to Luoyang at this time, Yuan Shu will definitely flee to Yuzhou and join his headquarters. Wouldn't our army fail in this way?"

Cao Cao immediately said, "Miaocai, Yuan Rang obeys the order."

"The last one will be here!"

"Let you two lead 10,000 troops and continue to hunt down Yuan Shu. Not only will you kill him, but you will also take advantage of the situation to capture the land of Yuzhou. If this matter is defeated, come and see you!"

"The last time I will obey the order!" Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun replied decisively.

Cao Cao stood up suddenly: "I ordered the entire army to rest early tonight, and to make meals tomorrow morning at 5 o'clock, and return to Luoyang at a fast speed!"

His army had just left Luoyang's territory. On the second day, at dawn, the whole army led his troops to Yuzhou. Cao Cao personally led his troops back to Luoyang. After a day and a night, he successfully returned to the outside of the Luoyang city gate.

The generals left behind in the city naturally knew their lord and quickly opened the city gate to greet them.

Cao Cao was in a hurry and was about to give an order, but he didn't expect that the general defending the city seemed to be more anxious than him.

"Master, something big happened!"

Cao Cao suddenly looked alert: "Why are you panicking? Could it be that Liu He's army has arrived?"

The guard was stunned, wondering why he suddenly said this: "No, there is no news about the general."

Cao Cao then breathed a sigh of relief: "What the hell is that?"

The guard hurriedly said, "The lord ordered the last general to lead 10,000 troops to station in Luoyang. The last general inspected all parts of the city, but found that the city was not an empty city."

When Cao Cao heard this, he was immediately angry: "What a big deal? Even if Liu He moved away from the huge city of Luoyang, most of the people should be left in the city. This matter will be panic and disrupt the morale of the army, and it should be executed!"

"Let's wait, lord." Xi Zhong said: "I see the general's expression, I'm afraid there is still something hidden in it, so I might as well let him finish it."

Cao Cao then shouted and said, "Why don't you tell me quickly?"

The guard had just escaped from the gates of hell and broke out in a cold sweat.

"It's... When the Mo General was patrolling the city, hundreds of people came to find the Mo General, and they claimed to be..."

He glanced at Cao Cao carefully, and then continued: "He claimed to be an important minister of the Han Dynasty and the heads of various major families. One of them was Chen Ji from the Chen family in Yingchuan, Wei Ji from the Wei family in Hedong, and Zheng Tai from the Zheng family in Xingyang..."

Cheng Yu next to him was stunned: "How could it be them? Shouldn't they beheaded by Liu He long ago?"

Xi Zhong suddenly remembered something: "Ah, you can't be wrong. After the Luoyang Incident that day, all of these people were arrested and detained by Liu He, and were interrogated strictly. They were originally going to be executed. However, the interrogation was long and there was a flood in the Yellow River in the middle. Liu He had no intention of considering this matter. Then he evacuated Luoyang, and these people must have been left in the prison in the city. It must have been after Yuan Shu occupied the city and released them to show his intention to make a good deal."

Cheng Yu suddenly realized: "Well, it makes sense to say this. Yuan Shu relied on being the inheritor of the Yuan family. As the leader of the gentry, he naturally had to treat these people more kindly. However, he did not expect that he would be expelled from Luoyang so soon, and brought these old, weak, sick and disabled people with him. He had many inconveniences and had to give up."

He said to Cao Cao: "Lord, although these people are already ruined, they are still the ones among the gentry who are tyrants. It is better to go and see them and properly place them."

Cao Cao frowned, as if thinking about something else, and asked the guard: "How many of them are there?"

The guards dared not hide it: "The person who claimed to be Chen Ji said that there were nearly 30,000 relatives and family members, all in their respective residences."

"Thirty thousand people?" Cao Hong stared at the top of his eyes: "This is more than half of our army's current troops."

Cheng Yu was not surprised: "These are all big families in my great Han Dynasty. As far as I know, there are nearly twenty people, including Wei Ji's sons and nephews, including his daughter-in-law and son-in-law. If we include grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and family branches, there are 30,000 people in these hundreds of families."

But Cao Cao's face looked very ugly: "Have they said what they want?"

The guard replied: "Go back to the lord, and according to what they said, all the property has been seized by Liu He. Now Yuan Shu has been defeated again. Everyone is hungry. Please ask the lord to quickly transfer food to make them full. It is best... It is better to have wine and meat, and I specially ordered the lord to personally invite hundreds of lords of their family and set up a banquet in the palace to celebrate the lord's capture of Luoyang."

"What?" Cao Hong almost jumped up: "The food and grass brought by our army are only less than two months' expenses. If they open their mouths, wouldn't they want to divide the food and grass of our army at least one month? They also need to have wine and meat, and they really dream in the daytime. If they fight Liu He's army in the future, then it would not be Liu He, but our army. Meng De, this matter must not be done."

Cao Cao didn't say anything. Seeing this, Cheng Yu opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he wanted to say something.

At this time, Guo Jia came over: "As soon as Liu He entered Luoyang, he would execute all the ministers who rebel against the court. The lord thought to the scholars of the world and begged hard. Not only did Liu He not allow them, he also killed them in front of the lord. Facing such tyrannical people, the lord was forced to resist and had no choice but to kill Liu He and support the emperor."

Upon hearing this, Cao Cao's eyes burst into a state of excitement.

"Cao Hong, I have something to do, I want you to do it..."
