Once you fight with Liu Zhe, you won’t fall into too much passiveness.

At the same time, Cao Cao's stricter surveillance of Xu Du, and Xu Du announced a curfew again. Whoever dares to emerge at this time will definitely kill his whole family.

Just as Cao Cao was waiting for his subordinates' information torment, Liu Zhe came to Yecheng.

Yecheng has now replaced Xindu and became the capital of Jizhou. After Xun You became the prefect of Jizhou, he wrote a letter to Liu Zhe, suggesting that Yecheng be used as a capital.

Yecheng is close to the Yellow River and is not far from Cao Cao’s three important ferries, Guandu, Baima and Yanjin. Once a war breaks out, it can become an important stronghold on the front line.

More importantly, after Yecheng became the capital of Jizhou, it put a lot of pressure on Cao Cao in Xudu, forcing Cao Cao to leave heavy troops behind Chenliu behind the three ferries and add an additional line of defense to protect Xudu.

"I've seen the lord!"

"I've met the Grand Marshal!"

Xun You brought officials from all over Jizhou to welcome Liu Zhe.

This is the second time that Liu Zhe has come to Yecheng. He has been here before. At that time, it caused endless blood in Jizhou. I don’t know how many families of all sizes were eradicated by Liu Zhe that time.

The last time Liu Zhe left unforgettable memories for the officials in Jizhou. This time Liu Zhe came again. The officials of Jizhou and the heads of families all fought tremblingly, worried that Liu Zhe would come again to clean up Jizhou by learning the same way last time.

Other officials were in awe of Liu Zhe, worried that Liu Zhe's butcher's knife would fall on him, but Xun You didn't have this concern. As Liu Zhe's confidant, Liu Zhe would not do anything to him unless he rebelled against Liu Zhe.

When the other subordinates were nervous and did not dare to breathe for a while, Xun You talked and laughed with Liu Zhe with a smile on his face.

"Master."

Although Liu Zhe was the Grand Marshal, Liu Zhe's confidants all like to call Liu Zhe the lord rather than the Grand Marshal.

Because in their minds, Liu Zhe will ascend the throne sooner or later, and the title of Taiwei will be outdated sooner or later.

Xun You smiled and said, "Thank you all the way."

"What can we do?"

Liu Zhe laughed and said, "Just don't say bad things about me in your heart."

Liu Zhe’s unprecedented big move this time was only his confidant.

"The lord is wise and powerful, with a long-term vision, no one in the world can match it. I can't even admire him, so how dare you have complaints in your heart?"

Xun You smiled and said, "The lord's decision this time seems to consume countless materials, but the lord's actions are extremely admired. There is no other person in the world who can be like the lord."

Liu Zhe made a big move this time, mobilizing hundreds of counties, hundreds of thousands of troops, millions of people involved, and countless materials consumed.

At the beginning, many people opposed it, but because Liu Zhe's purpose had already been known to his confidants. If his confidants supported Liu Zhe, it would be useless for others to oppose it.

This time the cost is huge. If Yanzhou can be pacified and Cao Cao can be eliminated, no one will object.

But Liu Zhe did not intend to destroy Cao Cao, but just used it to scare Cao Cao.

Of course, it has a deeper meaning. Otherwise, if it is just used to scare Cao Cao, Liu Zhe's confidants would also oppose Liu Zhe's doing so.

Cao Cao controlled the court and occupied great justice. Without Liu Zhe's existence, Cao Cao would definitely be the number one prince in the world, and his attitude towards the emperor would become worse and worse.

Unfortunately, there is Liu Zhe next to Cao Cao. Not only is Liu Zhe the emperor's uncle, but he is much stronger than Cao Cao, which makes Cao Cao dare not provoke Liu Zhe easily.

Because of Liu Zhe's existence, although Cao Cao undermined the emperor, he did not dare to treat the emperor too much, and he had to protect the emperor. If there was any accident in the emperor, Liu Zhe would definitely attack him.

So in order not to anger Liu Zhe, Cao Cao still maintained respect for the emperor on the surface.

This time, Liu Zhe would use the rebellion of Sun Cheng and Gong Wei in Qingzhou to make Cao Cao move, scare Cao Cao, and let Cao Cao hand over Sun Cheng and lose Cao Cao's face.

Liu Zhe wanted Cao Cao to know that he could attack Cao Cao at any time, and his strength was far superior to Cao Cao. Once he started, Cao Cao would definitely not be his opponent.

Cao Cao would never give up when he was stimulated like this. He would do everything possible to enhance his strength.

To do this, Cao Cao must strengthen his voice in the court. At that time, he will further suppress the emperor, so that his prestige will be further weakened.

In general, Liu Zhe wanted to make Cao Cao go crazy and then use Cao Cao's hands to weaken the emperor's prestige.

Not many people know about such things. Those who know about them are Liu Zhe's confidants. They will never say these until they die.

"I haven't seen you for a while, and you have improved a lot in flattery. It seems that you have listened to your subordinates' flattery a lot, right?" Liu Zhe smiled and joked about Xun You.

"This is my heartfelt statement, and it is definitely not to flatter my lord."

Xun You said seriously: "But there are indeed many people who flatter their subordinates, and their subordinates almost hear calluses coming from their ears."
