Li Jue moved into Luoyang and took control of Emperor Xian, which shocked the world.

The news flew in all directions as if it had wings, and Cao Cao of Xuchang was the first to get the news.

Seeing the news that Li Jue was made a general of chariots and cavalry, Cao Cao was happy and threw the information heavily on the desk.

"There are no heroes at that time, so Zhuzi became famous. Li Jue actually blackmailed the emperor and sent orders to the princes. He sent an order to the entire army to prepare, and set off in three days to drive away King Qin of Luoyang City."

Cao Cao's new adviser Guo Jia quickly stopped him: "My lord, there is no need to worry. Li Jue, Guo Si, and Fan Chou are just soldiers on the frontier. They definitely dare not harm the emperor."

Cao Cao nodded: "That's true. How can these rats have the guts to hurt the emperor? They are just pretending to be powerful. But wouldn't it be good if we took the emperor to Xudu at this time?"

"Please think about it, my lord, Xiliang's elite soldiers are unparalleled in the world. The soldiers brought by Li Jue, Guo Si, and Fan Chou, plus Yang Ding's soldiers, must be more than a hundred thousand."

"Yes, that's right. We have one hundred thousand elite soldiers."

"We occupy half of Yanzhou and only have 20,000 troops. We still have a huge place to defend. How many troops can we send?"

"Ten thousand at most, but it won't make things easier for these people."

Guo Jia said with a smile: "We can just send out a message to disgust him. As long as we don't fight, the four of them will kill each other, and we will gain by then."

Next to him, Cheng Yu was unconvinced: "Fengxiao, are you bragging? How did you know they would fight on their own?"

Guo Jia was young at this time, shaking his feather fan and confident.

"Li Jue, Guo Si, and Fan Chou are all subordinates of Niu Fu, and their respective military strength is about the same. Now Li Jue is vaguely in charge, but don't worry, power is addictive, and Li Jue will gradually become dissatisfied with the status quo.

If you want to monopolize power, other people are not easy to mess with, so there will be a fight."

"That's all in the year of the monkey, right?"

"Isn't that just right? We also need time to develop. The strong enemy in front of us is Lu Bu. Lu Bu is too powerful. He has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and many generals. We must catch up."

Cao Cao followed Guo Jia's suggestion and no longer brought up the matter of troops in Luoyang, but arranged for Cheng Yu to find ways to make money.

Cheng Yu scratched his head and scratched his head anxiously: "Master, it's difficult to handle. This is our territory. We can't just grab it. Once our reputation is ruined, no one will play with us."

"Then I don't care, money, money, money. You are responsible for making money. I need people to give people, and I need soldiers to give soldiers. But you have to get the money for me. If a living person is robbed, he will talk too much. You won't think about anything else.

There is a way."

Cao Cao left and took his generals to play.

Cheng Yu clapped his hands angrily, but there was nothing he could do, it was not easy to do.

This is such a big deal. If you don’t have money, how can you raise soldiers? If you don’t have money, how can you pay salaries? Damn it, Lu Bu took the lead in giving subsidies to the soldiers. He didn’t care if he paid them. He also publicized them all over the world, so that other princes had to give them to the soldiers.

Issue military pay.

Cheng Yu traveled around the world in his early years and met many strange people. There was one person who was best at finding dragons and divining acupoints.

Cheng Yu left the military camp and found a stall selling pig head meat and bought a braised pig head and two jars of good wine.

I came to a small village outside the city. As soon as I entered the village, there was a wealthy family. When I entered the yard, I felt like a sheep.

There is a large sheep pen in the yard. Looking at the accumulation of sheep dung, it is not difficult to imagine that there used to be at least hundreds of goats here, but now there are only a few dozen left.

"Hu Laosan, Hu Laosan."

There was a middle-aged man sleeping under the gourd stand. He was dressed as a sheepherder. He looked ordinary on the outside, but there was a sparkle in this man's eyes. He was anything but ordinary at first glance.

"Master Cheng, what brought you here? My yard doesn't smell good."

"Come on, it's almost impossible for a guy like me to keep eating."

"Cao Gong likes you, you are a military advisor."

"Come, eat meat and drink wine."

Hu Laosan was not polite, wiped his hands on his clothes, and ate the pork head with his big hands.

After a while, Hu Laosan ate and drank enough.

"Lao Cheng, just tell me if you have anything to do. With our old relationship, I will definitely help you if I can."

Cheng Yu clicked his tongue, lifted up his clothes and knelt down to Hu Laosan.

"Third brother, there is nothing we can do. It is too difficult this year. There is a locust plague in the spring, and the army is seriously short of money and food. I can only ask for your help."

"Zhongde, you are setting a trap for me. I ate the pig's head and drank the wine. If I help you, I will harm my morality. If I don't help you, I will be sorry for my friend. This, this is very difficult to handle."

"You can rest assured. This is for the benefit of Duke Cao. I won't let you do it in vain. I asked Duke Cao to give you a token and an army. You were ordered to touch gold. You are afraid that a ball will damage your virtue."

.”

Hu Laosan is walking around, if he damages his moral character in this way, it is also Cao Cao's who is damaged.

"What kind of official can you give me?"

"Touch Jin Xiaowei, this is already very high."

Hu Laosan clicked his lips: "Okay, I'll just treat it as a favor. Bring someone with you and let's go now."

Cheng Yu mobilized more than twenty confidants, took hoes and shovels, and followed Hu Laosan away.

Not far to the east, there is a piece of barren grassland. The vegetation grows normally in other places, but it cannot grow here, and it looks a bit dry.

This place was already deserted, and smoking cigarettes all around made it even more deserted.

"Dig, right here."

The soldiers followed the instructions and dug with a big hoe for a long time, revealing the blue bricks on the top of the tomb.

Cheng Yu was surprised; "Lao San, that's amazing, you found it so quickly."

Hu Laosan grabbed a handful of soil and smelled it: "Two hundred years at most. It's not a big deal. Thousands of handfuls will end."

Hu Laosan had to get started with the key part, and he quickly opened it. It was eerie and terrifying inside.

Hu Laosan put in a candle and saw that the candle was burning normally, so he led the soldiers in.

This is the cemetery of a wealthy family, not a prince.

The only things buried inside were copper coins, jades, gold, etc. They were all brought up together.

Cheng Yu repeatedly praised: "It's amazing."

After taking the money, Hu Laosan built the cemetery again.

He still knelt there and muttered: "Mr. Cao takes money to help the world, and I'm disturbing you, old man."

One thousand guan, not much more, not much less, at least can buy some food to feed the army.

Cao Cao secretly organized several teams to specialize in digging for treasures, which was called gold mining and was later spread forever.

At this time, Xuzhou Lu Bu also learned the news that Li Jue had entered Luoyang. Although he had expected this for a long time, it was quite surprising when it came out.

Lu Bu's camp beat drums to gather the generals, and soon the three armies gathered together.

Lu Bu sat in the middle, and Dian Wei stood behind.

Military advisors Chen Gong, Li Su, and logistics officer Chen Heng.

Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Xu Rong, Hua Xiong, Hao Meng, Yu Jin, Guan Hai, Guan Cheng, Zhang Ying and Cao Xing are all here.

After all the generals had paid their respects, they sat down separately.

Chen Gong opened the sheepskin map and pointed at Luoyang: "Everyone, here is the latest information about Luoyang. Li Jue, Guo Si, and Fan Chou led 50,000 troops and falsely claimed that a hundred thousand troops had arrived in Luoyang. Wang Yun's general Yang Ding betrayed him and killed Wang Yun.

, returned to the Xiliang Army. Now Li Jue and others are staying in Luoyang."
