When Liu He heard this, his first reaction was that he did not believe it.

"How is it possible? Cao Cao's defeat this time, his troops were completely lost. How many people could he leave in Yuzhou with another 50,000 troops? With the ability of his fourth brother and Boping, he would even suffer a defeat?"

While they were talking, the two had already arrived in the imperial study room. Xun You and Cui Jun immediately came up to salute.

"I'm exempted, let's talk about the situation in Yuzhou in detail."

Cui Jun took over Xun Yu's topic: "Cao Cao expected that the two generals would take advantage of the opportunity to attack Yuzhou, so he set up a trap on the road. When the two generals marched, the vanguard of the two generals fell into the trap. Then Cao's army ambushed out and thousands of arrows were fired at once. Fortunately, the main force of the two generals quickly chased him and then retreated Cao's army."

Liu He frowned: "It's still wrong. Although he was caught in the trap, he didn't have much damage. The main force is still there. It should be not difficult to destroy Yuzhou."

"It is precisely this that the two generals fell into Cao Cao's second trap."

"There is a second trap?" Liu He was a little surprised.

Cui Jun said: "The two generals rectified their troops and sent the wounded soldiers back to the rear for treatment. Then they stationed on the spot for one day and continued to march the next day. The war went surprisingly smoothly. General Zhang Yong captured Yanling City, while General Gao Shun captured Fule City."

"However, in the middle of the night, a fire suddenly broke out in two cities. In early winter, the grass and trees withered, and the wind helped the fire. The fire quickly swept across half of the city. The army tried its best to put out the fire until dawn. However, countless houses in the city were burned down, and many people were killed and injured. Fortunately, the two generals were through battles and did not have all the generals stationed in the city, so they did not cause much damage."

After hearing this, Liu He basically understood.

"I guess after extinguishing the fire, our army was exhausted and in a mess, and Cao's army suddenly came out and took advantage of the fire to rob, right?"

Cui Jun said, "Your Majesty is wise, that's why. Cao's army was led by Cao Hong and Cao Ang, and each led 10,000 troops to attack and kill. Our army fought hard and defeated Cao's army. However, because everyone caused many burns in our army, most of the soldiers were exhausted after being killed by this battle. Seeing the military situation, the two generals knew that it was difficult to fight again, and they were afraid that Cao Cao would still have tricks, so they had no choice but to lead the army back to their garrison."

"What a great Cao Cao, it's really extraordinary. My fourth brother and Boping have never suffered a defeat since I started the army. I didn't expect that this time I suffered a great loss in the hands of Cao Cao, the defeated general."

Liu He also sighed sincerely.

"This is just Cao Cao's pretentious attitude to fool people. He predicted that after the battle in Yanzhou, our army would look down on him. The so-called arrogant soldiers would be defeated. Our army underestimated the enemy was a big taboo in military strategists and naturally fell into a trap."

Xun You analyzed it.

"Well, after this defeat, I will give my fourth brother and Bo Ping a better memory, especially those soldiers and generals, so that they will have a better mind. Don't think that they are invincible in the world. Cao Cao used his troops like a god, and his four great counselors were even more wise. He should be careful in the future. He will send an order to revive them and attack Yuzhou in five days when it has not yet snowed."

As soon as Liu He finished speaking, Xun You said, "Your Majesty, I think it's inappropriate."

"Oh? Why is it inappropriate?"

"Cao Cao is extremely deceitful and must be prepared. He has been in Yuzhou for many years, and our army will go again. Even if he learns the lessons of this time and is cautious, it is probably not easy to conquer Yuzhou."

Liu He tapped the table with his finger and said, "Didn't it be that Cao Cao would let Jingzhou take over and compete with the court? Isn't this a matter of fact, saying that the court ignored loyal ministers and ignored their lives?"

Xun You said: "No. This strategy of surrounding Wei and saving Zhao is still effective, but if Wei wants to change his partner."

"The meaning of Gongda is..."

"Cao Cao was loyal to the fake emperor Liu Yan on his face. If Yizhou was in trouble, Liu Yan would definitely order Cao Cao to give up Jingzhou and return to the army to attack Luoyang to save the danger of Yizhou. If Cao Cao did not follow, he would rebel. He would first rebel the court and then rebel against the fake emperor, which would cause people's hearts to be dispersed and the army was unstable. At that time, the world would be invincible. If he obeyed Liu Yan's order, he should avenge this fire attack."

Liu He was overjoyed: "Gongda was indeed a clever plan. He ordered Chang Yun to order him to take charge of military affairs in Liangzhou, temporarily suspend the extermination of the Qiang people, gather all the troops, stationed in Wudu, and pretend to attack Hanzhong. Old Liu Yan, the older he is, the less courageous he is. No matter whether our army's war goes smoothly, with his nature, he will order Cao Cao to rescue him. In this way, I can take advantage of the situation and annihilate the two rebels Cao Cao and Liu Yan in one fell swoop, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone."

Cui Jun said: "I have another plan, maybe I can try it."

"Shuping said it quickly."

"The brothers Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan are brothers of Cao Cao. They have been familiar with him since childhood and have a deep friendship. They are even the top generals of the Cao army. Now the two are still locked in the Chenliu dungeon. Your Majesty can order General Gao Shun to take the two in the prison car and parade in the streets and make a statement to the world at the same time. Ten days later, they will take the two to Luoyang to clear the punishment of the Zhengdian. If Cao Cao comes to rescue him, he will be ambushed by our army. If he does not save him, wouldn't he be cooled down the morale of the army?"

"Okay, this plan is very wonderful. I will immediately send Boping."

"I obey the order."

Liu He was very happy in his heart: "Cao Cao, Cao Cao... Are you still alive this time?"

"Your Majesty...that's a big deal, your Majesty..."

Gong Saner ran over in panic and almost tripped by the threshold.

"What's going on? What's the point of shouting?" Liu He was a little unhappy.

Gong Saner didn't care about prosecution: "Your Majesty... something big happened, the Taixue... the Taixue rebelled..."

"What?" Liu He thought he had heard it wrong.

"Taixue rebelled? Just a group of young students who are powerless. Where can they rebel? Don't talk nonsense like this guy."

Gong Saner said: "How dare I deceive Your Majesty? More than 700 students from the Imperial Academy all went to the streets, shouting... and shouting..."

"What did you shout? Just say it, I forgive you for not guilty."

"They shouted that His Majesty would allow the generals of the army to kill innocent people indiscriminately, and His Majesty was in favor of personal gain, and protected the murderer.... They also specifically scolded many ministers who wanted to maintain the national laws and regulations..."

"Nonsense!" Liu He stood up angrily.

"A group of corrupt scholars dares to interfere in the affairs of the court. This is a death sentence."

Gong Saner paused and continued, "They also said... and said... they wanted your Majesty to issue an edict to punish yourself and to investigate your faults. At the same time, they brought the murderer to justice. Otherwise, they would... sit in front of the palace gate. If the murderer dies for a day, they would not leave for a day..."

"presumptuous!"

Liu He was furious: "Several students dare to threaten me, someone comes!"

"Here!" A team of imperial guards came out.

"I passed my will and ordered five hundred imperial guards to leave the south gate of the palace. Anyone who causes trouble outside the palace gate will be killed on the spot."

"Let's wait!" Xun Yu stood up to stop him.

"Your Majesty must not be impulsive. Since Emperor Wu opened the Imperial Academy, he has set rules. Students of the Imperial Academy are pillars of the future country. As long as they have not committed ten evil crimes, they can only be arrested and not killed. In the first party and imprisonment disaster, students of the Imperial Academy were only arrested and imprisoned. If Your Majesty killed them at will, they would be the plan of the envoy behind the scenes."

"Yes, now they deliberately describe Your Majesty as a foolish monarch who is his own likes and dislikes and has disrupted the laws of the country. His Majesty has had many benevolent policies in previous years, and the people will not believe them for the time being. But if these students are killed, it would be a matter of no one to tell them and confirm this crime. By then, people's hearts will gradually lose their hearts, especially the scholars in the world will be completely disinterested in the court, which will be a disaster for the court."

Xun You also asked Liu He for his appointment.
