Chapter 159 Liu Bei: I’m ready, and that’s what you’re talking about?(1/3)

 After learning the thoughts of Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong, Xi Yu naturally had no objections to the expansion of the supply camp.

From the establishment of the baggage camp to the present, it is indeed time to expand it.

The supply camp of three thousand people is indeed a little smaller than the entire Cao army today.

However, there is no rush to expand the supply camp.

The next day, the Han Dynasty gathered.

After the court meeting ended, Xi Yu walked side by side with Cao Cao after coming out of the main hall.

"Fengyi is free today!"

Xiyu basically would not participate in things like court meetings.

Cao Cao was a little surprised when he saw Xi Yu in the court today.

I originally thought that the other party would have something to say in the hall, but who would have thought that he had been looking forward to it for a long time, but he didn't see any movement from Fengyi.

Until the end of the court meeting, Xiyu acted as if nothing had happened.

This situation really seems like someone who is extremely bored and has come to attend a court meeting.

Cao Cao was a little curious. The two of them walked out of the palace gate, and Cao Cao couldn't help but ask Xi Yu.

Hearing this, I was so excited that I just smiled.

"Brother is laughing at me. What can I say? Yu is also the royal censor and chief agricultural officer of the imperial court. If he does not go to court for a long time, he will easily attract criticism!"

People like Dong Cheng have long criticized Xi Yu for not going to court for a long time.

However, Xi Yu didn't take it to heart at all.

Attending the court meeting today is just a matter of excitement.

By the way, I just happened to talk to Lao Cao about expanding the supply camp.

"Criticism, in my opinion, Fengyi doesn't care about these things."

Lao Cao still knew a little about Xi Yu. In Cao Cao's view, Xi Yu would not take it to heart at all.

However, Cao Cao was quite happy that Xi Yu came to attend the court meeting.

There was nothing major going on in the court today except for some miscellaneous matters.

However, Zhang Xiu is still a thorn in Cao Cao's heart.

After the failure of the westward advance, Zhang Xiu captured some towns in Henan in the blink of an eye.

But Cao Hong was anxious about his opponent, and he failed to make any achievements in several battles!

Wancheng is gone, but the presence of Zhang Xiu and others in Nanyang and other places is still a thorn in the side of Cao Jun.

This idea of ​​​​putting it down just now due to the failure of the westward advance suddenly occurred to Cao Cao again.

The two walked side by side, and after finally seeing Xi Yu today, Cao Cao couldn't help but want to ask him what he thought of Zhang Xiu.

Because of the previous failure, if he now brought up the topic of conquering Zhang Xiu, he was worried that Xun Yu and others, including Xi Yu, would not agree.

Cao Cao hesitated a little, and the two of them walked out of the palace gate.

"Does Fengyi go to the government office this time?"

There wasn't much that could be said at the court meeting, and all decisions about Cao Jun were actually discussed within the government office.

Cao Cao asked Xi Yu, who immediately understood.

Nodding: "Yes!"

Not only do you have something to ask the other party, but the other party also seems to have something to ask you.

Xi Yu paused for a moment and looked not far behind him. At this moment, Xun Yu and others slowly followed.

Everyone went to the Xuchang Yamen Office together. After entering the Yamen Office, they walked directly into the main hall.

Just after sitting down, Cao Cao couldn't help but look at Xi Yu and others.

"Everyone, the current situation in the world has changed a lot. The failure of the previous westward advance was my fault!"

"However, this traitor Zhang Xiu is like a thorn in Cao Jun's throat. I am determined to pull out this thorn!"

Zhang Xiu's activities in Nanyang and other places were ultimately unbearable for Cao Jun and Cao Cao.

This time it was made public just because Cao Cao had secretly asked Xun You and others for their opinions.

Xun You and others basically have the same view as him.

Now, all that is left are the opinions of Xi Yu, Xun Yu and others.

Because of this, after meeting Xi Yu today, Cao Cao eagerly wanted to drag him to the government office to question him.

After saying this, Xun Yu next to him didn't have much opinion.

Cao Jun would not tolerate anyone operating under his nose, not to mention that this person was Zhang Xiu.

Coupled with the previous incident in Wancheng, Cao Cao had only endured it for more than a month, and he could no longer bear it.

You can't just let Zhang Xiu do what he did under his nose just because of Wancheng's defeat.

Not only Cao Cao couldn't bear this, but also the generals in Cao's camp couldn't bear it.

Xun Yu didn't have much opinion on this.

It is of course possible to defeat Zhang Xiu. This was the case before when Cao Hong was sent to deal with Zhang Xiu.

It’s just that in these two months, Cao Hong has not made any achievements.

Cao Cao then had the idea of ​​​​leading his troops to attack again.

After hearing what Lao Cao said, Xi Yu suddenly understood.

Xi Yu actually had no objection to Cao Cao's intention to lead troops to attack Zhang Xiu again.

The incident in Wancheng has passed.

Lao Cao now has a fresh memory of his last defeat.

He must have been thinking about it for a long time before setting off for the expedition.

Cao Cao must attach great importance to this expedition.

"It works!"

Seeing Lao Cao looking at her with a questioning look in his eyes, Xi Yu smiled and nodded.

Although the timing he mentioned has not yet appeared, local and small things will not affect the general trend of the world at all.

In two months, Li Jue could not show his intention to make friends with the Xuchang court.

When Guo Si died, Zhang Yang gave up the Sili area.

Nowadays, there are dozens of unnamed commanders, large and small, west of Luoyang, and these people are insignificant compared to Cao Cao.

Yuan Shao in the north is holding his breath and wants to annex Lu Bu in one fell swoop and take over the entire Bingzhou area.

Confirm your position as the general of the Four Continents.

On the other side, Yuan Shu was busy directing Sun Ce to capture the southern counties. He intended to march into Xuzhou, but Cao Ren was holding on to Xuzhou, so it was relatively stable.

What happened in Wancheng is over after all.

Now that Lao Cao was able to directly propose something and face his past failure, he had already made up his mind.

Xiyu naturally has no intention of blocking it.

At this moment, Cao Cao was a little surprised when he saw Xi Yu nodding in agreement.

He originally thought that Xi Yu and others would stand up and stop him if he mentioned the conquest of Zhang Xiu again.

I never thought that when he said these words, not only Xun Yu, but also Xi Yu and others had no objection at all.

Cao Cao was so surprised that he couldn't help but raise his voice a little higher.

"That being the case, I will report to Your Majesty tomorrow about the campaign against Zhang Xiu!"

Cao Cao was in a good mood. Of course, the so-called memorial to the emperor was just a matter of opening his mouth.

Nowadays, Xuchang's court has become Cao Cao's official hall.

"Since brother wants to conquer Zhang Xiu, Yu just has something to talk to brother about!"

Seeing that Cao Cao was in a good mood, Xi Yu took advantage of the situation and planned to talk about the expansion of the supply camp.

Hearing Dao Xiyu speak, Cao Cao grinned: "Oh, you can speak frankly when you are righteous!"

"Brother, the power of our army is completely different from what it was in Yanzhou."

"My subordinates told me that the current supply camp has to bear the responsibility of providing food and fodder for hundreds of thousands of people, which is very difficult!"

"I am telling my brother this time because I want to advise him that I intend to expand the supply camp!"

Expand the supply camp?

After hearing what Xi Yu meant, Cao Cao couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
To be continued...
