Chapter 0265 Cao Cao’s shock, Yuan Shao’s anger!!!
Yanzhou, Juancheng.
The sunset was like blood, dyeing half of the sky red.
In the meeting hall, the atmosphere was so depressing that it seemed that even the air had solidified.
Cao Cao sat upright in the main seat of the meeting hall.
His face was so gloomy that water could almost be squeezed out.
At this moment, his brows were furrowed, and there was an indescribable light in his eyes.
He held a piece of official document tightly in his hand.
It was a copy of Tao Qian’s memorial to the court.
In the corner of the hall.
Xun Yu, Chen Gong, Cheng Yu and other counselors.
As well as generals such as Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan, they all looked solemn.
Cao Cao’s voice broke the silence:”Everyone, take a look at this memorial!”
He handed the official document in his hand to the guard next to him.
The guard hurriedly passed it down.
Xun Yu took it and looked at it, his face suddenly changed, and he looked up at Cao Cao, his eyes full of shock.
Chen Gong, Cheng Yu and others also hurriedly took it to check.
Their faces were also solemn, as they knew very well the trouble this document would bring.
Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ang, Cao Xiu and others clenched their fists, with angry looks in their eyes.
“Tao Qian, he… he actually dared to submit a petition to the court, requesting to be removed from his post as governor.？”
“Xun Yu’s voice was trembling.
Cao Cao nodded and said in a cold voice,”Not only that, he also blamed the governors of various states for the unrest in the world!””
“How is this possible?”
Cheng Yu couldn’t help but ask,”Tao Qian is also a local lord, why would he want to poach my people? How could he do such a thing?”
“Could it be that he was forced by something?”
Chen Gong frowned.
Xun Yu pondered for a moment and slowly said:”Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian is old and weak, and his son is not talented!”
“Perhaps it was out of consideration for protecting the family!”
“After all, Liu Yan, the governor of Yizhou, and Yuan Shu, the governor of Yuzhou, were not destroyed.”
“However, if this memorial spreads to the world, the lord will be passive!”
Cheng Yu said seriously.
Cao Cao did not speak, but the anger in his eyes said it all.
He knew the impact this memorial might have.
“”My lord, how should we respond?”
Xiahou Dun asked in a deep voice.
Xiahou Yuan stood up and said angrily:”My lord, Tao Qian’s move is clearly a provocation to us!”
“Does he think we don’t dare to do anything to him?”
“I, Xiahou Yuan, am willing to lead the troops to Xuzhou and take his head!”
Cao Xiu also stood up and said in a firm voice:”Brother, what you said makes sense. I, Cao Xiu, am willing to go with you!”
Cao Cao waved his hand, signaling them to be patient.
He frowned and said slowly:”This matter is of great importance. We must not act rashly!”
“In addition, although Tao Qian’s move is shocking, I suspect that someone else may have intervened!”
Chen Gong frowned, thought for a moment and then said:”My lord, you are right!”
“Tao Qian’s move came so suddenly that it gave me a bad feeling!”
“I’m afraid that General Gu Chang’an has intervened in this!”
Cao Cao pondered for a moment and said slowly:”The court has not yet responded to Tao Qian’s request, we can’t act rashly!”
“But we must be prepared for everything!”
He looked at Xun Yu and said,”Wen Ruo, you immediately send someone to find out Tao Qian’s true intentions and see if he really intends to resign, and the reasons behind it!”
Cao Cao turned to Chen Gong and Cheng Yu and said,”Gongtai, Zhongde, you two are responsible for judging whether Xuzhou has any chance for us?”
The rest of Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ang, Cao Xiu and others stood quietly aside.
Cao Cao’s eyes finally fell on them.
“You are responsible for reorganizing the troops and being ready to go into battle when the time is right!”
“”Yes!”
Everyone took the order and left.
The whole world began to surge with turbulence because of Tao Qian’s memorial.
When everyone left,
Cao Cao waved his hand to drive away all the guards.
He sat alone in the meeting hall, still holding the official document in his hand.
His heart was surging like the tide and could not calm down.
Reason told him that in this Han Dynasty, there would never be another opportunity for him to show his lofty ambitions.
However, deep in his heart,
Cao Cao was never reconciled.
Cao Cao had never thought of becoming an emperor himself.
But he was a hero and was extremely eager for the power in his hands.
But as Tao Qian presented a memorial to the court to remove the position of governor, there were fewer and fewer places in the world where he could move around.
So Tao Qian suddenly presented a memorial to the court and took out such a memorial. This shocked Cao Cao and made him very angry.
He remembered that in recent times, the unrest and disputes in various parts of the world have gradually.
The governors of various states were abolished one after another, and the post of Inspector reappeared.
The power of the court is getting stronger and stronger.
To be precise, the power of the general, Gu Chang’an, is getting stronger and stronger.
If it was the court that was restoring his political territory. I’m afraid it wouldn’t be so difficult for Cao Cao to accept it.
But now everyone in the world knows.
The one who holds power in the court is the general Gu Chang’an.
An orphan from Bingzhou, a man without a father or a mother.
Will he have to rely on him for survival in the future?
Thinking about it this way, Cao Cao was really unwilling.
However, Gu Chang’an was already powerful and difficult to control.
After Tao Qian submitted a memorial to the court.
Perhaps it was just the beginning.
Gongsun Zan, the governor of Youzhou, Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou, Shi Xie, the governor of Jiaozhou, and Tian Kai, the governor of Qingzhou who was in name only.
Will these people respond to Tao Qian together?
The more Cao Cao thought about it, the more serious the situation seemed to him.
After thinking about it, he found that the only possible ally was Yuan Shao, the governor of Jizhou.
“Should we form an alliance with Yuan Shao?
Cao Cao thought to himself.
Jizhou, Ye County.
The sun shines through the window into Yuan Shao’s meeting hall, bringing a ray of light to the originally dim space.
However, this cannot dispel the tense and oppressive atmosphere in the hall.
Yuan Shao sits in the main seat, his hands clenched into fists. He stares at a document on the table with a sharp gaze.
“This…this Tao Qian, how dare he do this!”
Yuan Shao’s voice was low and trembling, his hands clenched into fists, veins popping out.
His chest rose and fell violently, and his breathing became heavy.
Yuan Shao’s eyes flashed with angry flames, as if they would burst out at any time.
