The noisy New Year's Eve passed in a busy manner, and the search team back to Xudu was also on their way back to the prime minister's mansion and handed the news.

In the Imperial City Prime Minister's Mansion, the lights swayed and lit the figures behind the long case were cast on the screen. Cao Cao waved his pen and ink to correct some government affairs. Two close servants stood by, one left and one right. After seeing the review, they hurried forward and rolled up, put them not far behind, and carried them away with the official duties they had accumulated before.

"I heard that Liu Bei recruited soldiers and horses in Runan, and there were more generals around him, and his wings were getting richer."

The temperature at night was quite cold. Cao Cao tightly looked at his coat tightly, waved his hand and asked someone to take another roll of bamboo slips, and continued to review it. His voice continued: "...... Gongsun asked Cao to kill this person at the beginning. Cao Nian Liu Xuande had an extraordinary appearance and a very good temper. He didn't want to kill the heroes of this world, but now he regretted it."

The fact that Liu Bei was welcomed into Runan by Gongdu and Liu Pi was a big blow to Cao Cao in Xudu was a big blow, but it was just a blow. In the past, he was optimistic about Liu Bei and could not bear to see the hero disappear. However, the other party quietly left the battlefield in the chaotic battle of Guandu, which made Cao Cao feel that he had taken a look for the first time.

However, it is in the opinion of the rest of the civil and military officials in the city that since the other party has made an opposing move, there is an excuse to deal with Liu Bei. Cao Cao temporarily delayed the conquest and put it behind. On the one hand, the arson case in Xudu Armory before the New Year has not yet been revealed. On the other hand, after the beginning of spring, the army will take over Qing and Ji prefectures again. During the break, people will send people to negotiate with Gongsun Zhi to get Jia Xu back.

"Runan is a big county, so Liu Xuande cannot be held for too long. This person is a hero. If he does not move for a long time, he will definitely develop a climate. He talks about the Han clans and tells Liu Biao to join together, and responds from afar, for fear that there will be a situation where the tail is too big and difficult to eradicate."

In the warm main hall, he had a medium body and a square face. A circle of beards under his chin, with a rough and heroic figure slowly speaking, but his expression was quite serious. His name was Mao Jie, and he was currently the official of the Eastern Cao of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Jizhou and Qingzhou must be taken, but Liu Bei is more important than the two states. The three brothers of the Yuan family are nothing but dead bones in the tomb. If the prime minister does not attack, they will kill each other. It is better to pacify Runan first, then then lead the army northward, join forces with Yuan Tan to attack Jizhou, and it will not be too late to compete with Gongsun Zhi at that time."

After hearing the words, Cao Cao put down his pen, rolled up his official duties and handed them to his servants, nodding: "What Xiaoxian said is reasonable, Liu Bei wants to suppress it, but Ji and Qingzhou must take it even more." He stood up and walked out of the case, silent for a moment, and waved: "... Then let's do it together, save a lot of trouble."

Perhaps while reviewing government affairs, while discussing the next thing with the core strategists, Cao Cao took two steps behind his back and turned to a strategist between the seats on the right: "How has Zhongde investigated these days? I am not interested in the person who committed the crime. In addition to Gongsun Zhi, who is far away in the north, is there anyone behind the scenes who are taking premeditated plans in the city?"

"Go back to the lord, several death warriors from the north have been arrested. Some of them committed suicide by taking poison when they were caught. The two of them were left in prison for interrogation. Soon, they could ask some things." The old man, who was nearly 60 years old, closed his eyes, raised his hands, and said softly: "... At the end of the year, Yu had doubts, but the evidence was not conclusive, so he could not say it. In a few days, he asked for details and then presented them to the lord's case."

The burning of the arsenal affected for a long time at the end of the year. Some of the perpetrators were circulated in Xudu City, but most of them were randomly fabricated and there was no credibility. Now that he heard Cheng Yu had a little look, he felt relieved. Over the past period of time, Cao Cao almost sent 20 or 30 additional guards to protect the core counselors under his command to prevent the dead soldiers lurking in the dark from ambushing again. Regarding these matters, the hall talked about them for a while, and Cao Cao remembered the Wang Lang recommended by Liu Ye during the Chinese New Year.

"I heard that all the classics and allusions of Wang Wang were well-versed. When I was appointed as the prefect of Kuaiji, I would rest and rest assured people's livelihood and not cause any trouble. I wonder if I could be in the hall today?"

Someone stood up on the right side below, rolled up his sleeves and walked to the back of the brazier, bowing and bowing: "Let me see the Prime Minister."

The fire shines on Wener's elegance.

Cao Cao nodded and looked at him: "You have been to the Central Plains for a year or two. Cao has been neglecting the great sages in the battles of the south and north. Now there are great enemies around the Central Plains, and they all need to be wiped out one by one. The Han Dynasty is peaceful. There is something happening in the north. Mr. Lao needs to go on a trip. He is captured and taken away by Gongsun Zhi's people a few years ago. It should be in the north. Mr. Zhao went over and asked him back."

"Prime Minister Don't worry, Lang will definitely take Jinwu back from Gongsun's thief's hands during this trip. When he meets him, he will show his interests and surrender."

"Okay, since Mr. Huo is very talented, Cao is not stingy. He is appointed as a counselor and participate in the Sikong Military. If he wants to return to Jia Xu, he will give him another reward."

Cao Cao looked at him and said a few more words of encouragement at the end. Soon, late at night, everyone said goodbye and left. In the main hall, Xun Yu did not rush to leave. He walked towards the first person, picked up a copper spoon and scooped the wine and put it on Cao Cao, and spoke softly: "The Prime Minister is a little generous. Although Wang Lang has been here for a long time, he has not made any achievements. If he only has some reputation, it will not be enough to convince other ministers in the court."

"Wen Ruo, why did Cao increase his post at this moment?"

At the top of the list, Cao Cao picked up the jue and took a sip, "Who is Gongsun Zhi? He is so fierce! He abducted Yuan Shao's two sons twice. If you say you didn't do anything, I don't believe it. If Jia Xu falls into his hands, it is inevitable that the flesh and blood will be slaughtered, and he is afraid that he will be slaughtered with a knife. Wang Lang, who has such a temperament, will be dragged out and chopped out if he can't even see him."

"Shi Yu is not considerate."

Cao Cao smiled, stood up and waved: "That's because you don't understand the wolf. Okay, it's late at night, Wenruo will go back and rest in peace. After the beginning of the Chinese New Year, there are still many reasons for you to be busy."

"yes!"

The lights swayed gently with the cold wind squeezing in from the door, turning around day and night to the northern border. February was already in here, and the air gradually warmed up, and the bare mountains could see green green.

The entire northern region began to sprout and change color.

After the ice and snow melted, water stains formed to moisten the soil. For the merchants who made a living in trade, they started a journey from south to north, and followed the Taihang Mountains to Shanggu County. The aftermath of the grain stockpiling was over, and the foreigners who were cheated were still verbally slandering and slandering in various places. However, for those who relied on the north to make a living, this matter was nothing. Local families, merchants, and officials from Shanggu County Government Office also visited one by one, making promises and repairing the gap.

To the north of Juyang City, on the vast field, a once-failed tribe Wuhuan gathered ten thousand cavalry again, whistling like the wind, and arranged neighing here. The square formation of ten thousand people could be heard just by neighing war horses. In the near future, they were about to set off west, step into the Western Regions that they had never been to, ignite the beacon, and now, they are waiting for the arrival of one person here.

The Northern Wolf King, the governor of the five counties of the Great Han Dynasty, Gongsun Zhi.

On February 2nd, the dragon raised its head.
