Chapter 228 Cheng Yu fled back to Xuchang
Xuchang city
A rout marched swiftly into the city,
The people around are avoiding one after another, they don't want to be implicated.
As long as the people are slower, they may be knocked down by the horses.
Countless common people's cabbages were flying all over the sky, and they were greeted with a burst of abuse.
However, these phenomena are also common here.
The people have nothing to do but to be angry.
"Too arrogant, did you lose the battle again?"
"Is there a war? I haven't heard of it?"
"You are too ignorant, General Xiahou heard that he is attacking Dantu!"
"Isn't it a defeat?"
"This is normal. Can you be undefeated in a fight with Jiangdong's Armada?"
"It's us common people who are suffering, maybe one more tax item will be added when we wake up!"
"Whoever said no, I regret not going to Hanzhong earlier. I heard that everyone who went to Hanzhong has sent it!"
"That's right, I have a few relatives over there, and I don't have to worry about food and clothing every day!"
"They also sent me thousands of texts, wanting me to settle there. I can't get out of the city now. They used to be helped by me, but now they want me to follow them!"
Countless people swallowed when they heard that person's words.
The few thousand Wen, in Xuchang City, must be a moderately wealthy family to be able to spend it.
For ordinary people like them, if they can have dozens of coins in their hands, they are considered to be living a good life. "
Countless people could only sigh and regret after hearing this!
When Cao Cao fought Ma Chao before, those people in the war zone who were implicated,
In desperation, they had to relocate to Hanzhong, but they did not expect that they would be a blessing in disguise.
Nowadays, even in Xuchang City, the people are quite complaining about the Cao family.
In the past, compared with Sun Quan and Liu Bei, life here was relatively stable for Cao Cao.
The people will support Cao Cao only if life can go on.
Now, compared with Hanzhong, they are simply inferior to beggars.
It is said that as long as a beggar arrives in Hanzhong, he can become a well-off family, as long as he works hard.
But these, in Xuchang City, are simply impossible.
Those high-ranking officials are eager to completely exploit them, but they will not care about the life and death of ordinary people like them.
Amidst the discussion among the common people, a group of more than ten people separated,
Entered the noble area, near the edge of the imperial city,
There was a huge mansion there, separated from the city wall only by a wall,
The entire gate is resplendent in gold, with two big golden characters written on it - Cao Mansion.
This whole street is basically Cao Cao's house.
The horse team stopped here, covered with wind and dust, making the guards frown.
"Who doesn't know this is the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
"Go away!"
The guards waved their hands and shouted with disgust, not having a good look towards these people at all.
"It's impossible to be blind!"
"This is Mr. Cheng, see clearly!"
"The prime minister told you to guard the gate like this?"
A token was thrown towards the guard,
The guard took the token, and his face immediately changed drastically.
"It turned out to be Mr. Cheng, the little one has eyes but no eyes!"
"Master Cheng please hurry up!"
"The prime minister has already ordered, Mr. Cheng pays his respects, there is no need to report!!"
"Master Cheng, please!!"
The guard invited Cheng Yu into Cao Cao's mansion very respectfully.
That's right, this person is Cheng Yu who escaped from Hanzhong.
Because there were guards secretly protecting him, when Cheng Yu saw that Hu Chuquan was unable to recover, he
He completely abandoned Huchuquan, traveled thousands of miles, and quickly returned to Xuchang City.
Now that he arrived, he followed the guard with a tired face,
Soon he arrived in front of Cao Cao's study.
"Master Cheng, the prime minister is reviewing the memorial inside!"
"Small one, go in and report!"
Cheng Yu nodded, the guard didn't dare to neglect,
Soon entered Cao Cao's study,
After a while, I heard the sound of messy footsteps coming from the study,
Cao Cao actually came out to greet Cheng Yu in person
"Zhongde is back. I was still talking about you just now!"
"Quick, let's talk in the study!"
With a smile on his face, Cao Cao dragged Cheng Yu into the study.
It can be seen that he really respects these capable advisers.
Cao Cao understood that these people were his capital to dominate the world.
Therefore, he will treat these capable talents with extra courtesy.
Of course, if you make him suspicious, he will decisively raise his killing knife.
"Prime Minister, the old minister is incompetent and has failed the Prime Minister's expectations!"
"Didn't take that Jiang Chen down!"
"Then Hu Chuquan has gone crazy, the old minister is ashamed!!"
Cheng Yu knelt down in front of Cao Cao, not daring to look at Cao Cao.
"What is Zhongde doing??"
"Please hurry up, I don't blame Zhongde for this matter!"
"It's because Jiang Chen is too cunning, he didn't think that Hu Chuquan could annihilate Jiang Chen!"
Cao Cao helped Cheng Yu up with a smile.
In fact, he had already expected it in his heart, and Cheng Yu often sent him secret reports.
Basically, he knows everything.
He understood that if Hu Chuquan could easily eliminate Jiang Chen.
Then Jiang Chen is not enough to make Cao Cao so afraid, as long as he can consume his strength,
For Cao Cao, this was the greatest victory.
"Thank you, Prime Minister! I am ashamed of myself!"
Seeing Cao Cao's kindness, Cheng Yu felt even more ashamed.
He felt that he had not done well enough and was only a little short of taking over Hanzhong City.
"Zhongde doesn't have to be like this!"
"Winning and losing are common sense among military strategists. There will also be times of failure in military operations. Don't be arrogant in victory and don't be discouraged in defeat!"
"As long as you can learn the lesson, you can finally hold the victory in your own hands!"
Cao Cao advised.
He also needs Cheng Yu to help deal with important affairs of the court,
After leaving Cheng Yu, he was a little busy during this time.
Cheng Yu's ability to handle internal affairs is actually quite powerful.
"Thank you Prime Minister!"
Cheng Yu got up and was grateful.
"Come here, give me a seat!!"
Soon, the monarch and his ministers sat opposite each other.
Cheng Yu quickly returned to his original composure. Now that the matter has passed,
There was no need to worry about that, as his demeanor as a counselor was quickly reflected.
If one day Cao Cao becomes the emperor, he will be [-]% qualified for the post of prime minister.
"Zhongde, tell me about the situation this time!"
Cao Cao waved with a smile, and immediately a maid brought hot tea and put it in front of Cheng Yu.
"Yes, Prime Minister, the matter is."
Cheng Yu didn't dare to be negligent, and immediately told Cao Cao in detail about his military strategy and the opponent's countermeasures during this period of time.
Cao Cao didn't inquire about him either, but just listened quietly, frowning and smiling inside.
Soon, Cheng Yu finished describing his offensive and defensive battle with Jiang Chen during this period,
Then he took a sip of tea, while Cao Cao was thinking carefully, Cheng Yu didn't interrupt him.
