439 Move to Xuchang 1

The next day, Cao Cao personally led a large army to Luoyang and camped the army. Cao Cao brought his civil and military officials into the city to pay homage to the little emperor. The emperor gave Cao Cao a stern and gave him a seat, which highly praised Cao Cao.

When Lao Cao heard the emperor's praise, he felt a lot of joy in his heart and immediately knelt down and bowed: "I am deeply grateful to the great emperor's grace, and I am always thinking about repaying the favors of the emperor and the court with death. Now Li Kui and Guo Si are in a rebellious manner. He is really a sin and full of evil. Now I have 200,000 elite soldiers in my hands, and I will obey the emperor's mobilization at any time. I will lead my troops to completely eliminate Li Kui and Guo Si. Please take care of the dragon body and put the country first."

The little emperor was also happy after hearing this and immediately said, "You are really a pillar of my Han court. If you have your help, why worry about Li Kuang and Guo Si's two thieves." Then the emperor was appointed as the captain of Cao Cao, the chief lieutenant, and the official lord of the Shangshu.

But Li Kui and Guo Si were stupid. Seeing Cao Cao's army coming for a long distance, the Cao army soldiers must be exhausted. The two wanted to quickly solve Cao Cao's fatigue army so as to relieve the threat as soon as possible. Otherwise, once Cao Cao's soldiers were rested and recuperated, it would be difficult to defeat Cao Cao's 200,000 troops, and they might even lose their lives.

After hearing this, Jia Xu shook his head and sighed, "Cao Cao is a hero of a generation. He is familiar with military books and has read a lot of books. He is very cunning in using strategies and strategies, and he is even more cautious in leading troops to fight. He is countless elite soldiers and generals under his command. Will he be able to decide quickly? If you think so, you probably won't have any hope of victory."

After hearing this, Li Kui glared at Jia Xu fiercely and said, "Would you tell you how we want to do it?"

After hearing this, Jia Xu looked at the two of them and said, "The only way out now is to surrender to Cao Cao and ask him to save you from your crimes."

After hearing this, Li Kui snorted and shouted and cursed: "Ignorous and corrupt scholars, dare to destroy my spirit and make others' majesty. I will kill you now." After that, he pulled out his sword and slashed at Jia Xu.

The generals quickly persuaded each other and hurriedly grabbed Li Kui. Jia Xu saved his life, otherwise he would have been dead here. That night, Jia Xu quietly left Li Kui, Guo Si and his two military camps, and returned to their hometowns. He had to stay and become a prisoner of Cao Cao's army. Besides, Li Kui and Guo Si were so incompetent, and they were not the ones that Jia Xu could assist.

Early the next morning, Li Kui and Guo Si led a large army to kill Cao Cao's camp. Cao Cao first asked Xiahou Dun, Xu Zhu and Cao Hong to lead hundreds of cavalry to fight against Li Kui and Guo Si's army for a while. He arranged troops in an orderly manner behind him, preparing to destroy the army of Li Kui and Guo Si in one fell swoop.

Li Gui's nephew Li Xian, Li Biao saw that Cao Cao had only sent hundreds of cavalry to meet the enemy. The two of them slapped their horses and had not yet spoken. Xu Zhu saw someone coming out, and immediately slapped his horses and killed Li Xian on the horse with one sword. Li Xian didn't even know how he died. When he arrived at the underworld, he said stutteringly that he must have been wronged.

When Li Bie saw Li Xian, he was instantly killed. He was stunned and riding on the war horse, he could only stare blankly. Before he woke up, Xu Zhu hit the war horse off. Xu Zhu was also inexplicably chopped off his head. If he wanted to stop going to the underworld, he would be like Li Xian, and he was also a fool who didn't know anything about it.

Xu Zhu carried Li Xian and Li Bei and returned to the formation. After Cao Cao saw this, he patted Xu Zhu's arm and laughed, "Zhongkang is really my Fan Kuai."

Then, Cao Cao asked Xiahou Dun to lead his troops to attack from the left secretly, Cao Ren led his troops to attack to the right, Cao Cao himself led the army to the center and kill from the center. As soon as the gongs and drums sounded, Cao Cao's army and three armies launched together, urging Li and Guo Si to kill the generals. Xiahou Dun, Xu Zhu, Cao Hong, Cao Ren, Le Jin, Li Dian and dozens of side generals took the lead in rushing. It was really a ghost crying and howling, and it was invincible. Blood was gushing on the battlefield, blood flowing into a river, and various sounds were intertwined, like a battlefield march.

Xiahou Dun, Xu Zhu, Cao Hong, Cao Ren, Le Jin, Li Dian and others in the fierce battle were originally all very skilled in martial arts and extremely brave. Even in this world, it was difficult to find an opponent. After they received Cao Cao's order, they were like a tiger going down the mountain, with swords, guns, swords and halberds all in battle. Everyone competed for the first place, and no one was willing to fall behind, for fear that others would kill the enemy. They were all using the weapons in their hands to harvest the enemy's lives, drinking the enemy's blood, and baptizing their souls.

The army of Li Kui and Guo Si was the opponent of Cao Cao's two army. It took only more than an hour. The army of Li Kui and Guo Si was defeated and fled. Li Kui and Guo Si also fled westward. Cao Cao personally drew out his sword to attack the enemy and led the army to chase the enemy continuously. Wherever he went, the soldiers of Li Kui and Guo Si either surrendered or ascended to heaven. Cao Cao's army chased him for dozens of miles before returning victoriously.

After the battle, Li Kui and Guo Si were killed in total, with more than 20,000 soldiers, and 50,000 to 60,000 captured soldiers; while Cao Cao's army only suffered more than 10,000 casualties, of which less than 5,000 were seriously injured and killed. This can be said to be a real victory. Li Kui and Guo Si were like dogs who were stranded, and knew that they could not accommodate themselves and could not find a place in any place in the world. The two had to flee to the deep mountains and forests to become bandits. If they wanted to make a comeback, it would undoubtedly be a fool.

Yang Feng in Luoyang City saw Cao Cao leading his army to completely defeat Li Kui and Guo Si, and knew that Cao Cao had made great achievements this time. In the future, Cao Cao would definitely control the power of the court. If that were the case, Cao Cao would be able to accommodate himself. Maybe even his life would be lost here, and no one could help him here. The best strategy was to escape from this place. Yang Feng became more angry and depressed the more he thought about it. In the end, he had to go to court to ask the emperor, saying that he wanted to lead his subordinates to chase Li Kui. Guo Si and the other thieves immediately led his troops to leave Luoyang.

After Cao Cao's army defeated Li Kui and Guo Si, after the battlefield was cleaned, he led the army to return to Luoyang City and stationed outside the city. After everything was arranged, Cao Cao took the guards to report the war situation to the emperor. The little emperor should have praised the old man. After all, if he had not come to save the old man, his life would have been dead long ago. Of course, in the little emperor's mind, he was the lord of the world, and everything in the world was his own. Everything Cao Cao did was supposed to be Cao Cao's duty as a minister. He thought that if there were no ministers to assist him, would he still serve him? He didn't know the principle that the people were the most important and the king was the least. He didn't know that water could carry a boat, and water could also overturn the boat. The emperor only knew that he was born to be the lord of the world, and it was arranged by God.

After destroying Li Kui and Guo Si, Cao Cao discussed work with his advisers in the big tent. The guards came to report that the emperor sent someone to Xuan and asked Lao Cao to go to the palace to discuss matters.

When Cao Cao heard that the emperor's envoys came, he immediately asked someone to meet him. Lao Cao was very sleek in this regard and knew how to please the close ministers around the emperor. As long as he had a good relationship with the emperor, many things would be easy to handle and many problems would be easier to deal with. This is what later generations said about high emotional intelligence.

After the visitor came in, Cao Cao looked up and said, "Be good. This man is in his thirties, a famous scholar, with beautiful eyes and beautiful eyebrows and sufficient spirit. What is the reason? Luoyang City is now in ruins, with a deserted area of ​​hundreds of miles, and food is even scarce. Now the officials, soldiers, and people in the court have nothing to eat, and they are more likely to eat. Everyone is hungry and has a pale face and thin skin. However, this man is indeed full of energy, with a rosy face and no hunger at all.

Cao Cao glanced at the visitor again, and then asked carefully and carefully: "I see, you are full of energy, rosy complexion, and a dragon horse spirit. I wonder what method is used to adjust it?"

After hearing this, the visitor smiled slightly and said humorously: "I have no good idea, I just ate food for thirty years."

When Cao Cao heard this, Khan, aren’t you talking nonsense? He didn’t grow up with food? Could it be that he grew up with shit? Cao Cao smiled and looked at the person again, and continued, “I don’t know what position he is currently in charge? In order to get the title below.”

The visitor replied: "I used to be a filial and honest person, and I worked under Zhang Yang and Yuan Shao. After Yuan Shao was eliminated by the big bear, I did not want to be an official under Lu Ning, so I returned to my hometown to live in seclusion. Now I heard that the emperor was still in Luoyang and came to pay his respects. Now I am a native of Dingtao in Jiyin. My surname is Dong, his name is not good at Gongren."

After hearing this, Cao Cao immediately stood up and bowed ninety degrees to Dong Zhao, and then said, "I have heard of Lord Dong's reputation for a long time. Today I am really destined to meet here, so I am very honored."

Seeing that Cao Cao gave him such a great gift, Dong Zhao dared to accept it, so he quickly replied to the great gift and said, "I am an unknown person, so I am laughing at you. Ming Gong is the role model of our generation. Today I can witness Ming Gong's appearance, which is my blessing in my three lives."

Cao Cao immediately asked someone to hold a banquet, asking Dong Zhao to be hosted in the tent, and asked Xun Yu to accompany him. The few of them spoke freely at the banquet and made friends and talked. Before they had a few drinks, the guards came to report: "Lord, there was a team of soldiers heading east, but I don't know who it was."

After hearing this, Cao Cao immediately arranged for people to go for reconnaissance. However, Dong Zhao at the banquet said: "Ming Ming, don't be in a hurry. This must be the former subordinate of Li Gui. Now that Ming, Duke Ming has arrived here, has made great achievements in his military affairs, so he led his troops to leave."

Cao Cao was depressed after hearing this, is this necessary? You will leave as soon as I come. What does this mean? I have not offended you Yang Feng. Cao Cao glanced at Dong Zhao and said, "Does General Yang Feng suspect that I will harm him?"

After hearing this, Dong Zhao laughed and said, "Mr. Ming Gong is too worried. Yang Feng is an incompetent person. He has no ability and cannot jump up. Why should Ming Gong not think about this person? Ming Gong should think about major affairs in the court and major affairs in the world."
