The others Cao Cao mentioned naturally refer to the princes such as Liu Bei and Yuan Shu.

You should know that Cao Cao not only invited Liu Zhe, but as long as the princes with some strength, he sent someone to pass the imperial edict and asked them to come in person to congratulate the emperor.

Cao Cao hoped that they could all come to Xudu and then catch them all in one go. In this way, the world would be much easier to calm down.

Cao Cao was a little surprised. It turned out that except for Liu Zhe agreeing to come to Xudu, Ma Teng, Xiliang, also agreed to come. This really surprised Cao Cao. He was already mentally prepared, and everyone could not come to get sick. Unexpectedly, except for Liu Zhe, even Ma Teng came.

Cao Cao smiled happily and said, "Okay, it's great. I'll send the order to prevent Cao Ren from stopping him and let Ma Teng come to Xudu safely." After Yongzhou was defeated, Cao Cao sent Cao Ren to guard Chang'an.

Cao Cao scolded them for being greedy for life and fearing death for other princes who pretended to be sick.

You wait, and after I deal with Liu Zhema Teng, I will go to settle the score with you. Cao Cao was so angry that he pretended to be sick now, right? In the future, I will let you lie down for the rest of your life and never open your eyes again.

"Since Liu Zhe is willing to come, let him come. As for the soldiers and horses he mentioned." Cao Cao paused, thought for a while, and said, "As the Grand Marshal, even if he led more soldiers and horses, it would be fine. Let them come. Humph, when I get to my place, I don't believe that he can fly away?"

Cao Cao sneered in his heart, Liu Zhe, Liu Zhe, you are careless. Even if you have 100,000 soldiers and horses in your headquarters, I can still take you down when you come to Xudu. This is what Cao Cao thought about at the greatest limit.

With such thoughts and confidence, Cao Cao agreed to Liu Zhe to lead his troops into Yanzhou and come to Xudu to participate in the emperor's enthronement ceremony.

......

In the first year of Jian'an, Emperor Xian moved the capital to change the New Year's name, and it seemed that the year's name had been changed. Everyone gave him some face. There was no particularly serious disaster in the world. It was the season of harvest, and many places in the Han Dynasty were about to usher in a bumper harvest.

The princes of the world also gave face and did not fight each other. Except for Sun Ce. After Sun Ce occupied Lujiang, his morale and strength increased greatly. He took advantage of the slackness of Liu Yao's subordinates, and suddenly crossed the river, defeated Zu Rong and Xue Li, and finally fought with Liu Yao in Qu'a (later Danyang City), and then attacked Dantu (later Zhenjiang City).

Wherever Sun Ce's army went, the soldiers strictly followed the general's order and did not dare to plunder the people. They did not violate the situation. The people supported him, allowing Sun Ce to quickly stabilize the occupied areas.

Wu County was tossed by Liu Xin, leaving a mess and left. Before the people sent by Liu Yao had time to stabilize Wu County, Sun Ce's army arrived, and Liu Yao had to flee Wu County and let Sun Ce take the opportunity to occupy Wu County.

After occupying Wu County, Sun Ce originally wanted to continue to pursue the victory, but was scolded by the court by envoys to let Sun Ce be calm, otherwise he would not blame the court for raising an army to deal with him.

The envoys of the court were sent by Cao Cao, who wanted to use the emperor's enthronement to deal with princes such as Liu Zhe.

What does it mean to fight with Liu Yao in Yangzhou? Everyone gives face to the court so much, and they are very content. But Sun Ce doesn’t give face?

When you fight in Yangzhou, it is easy for others to feel a sense of crisis. What if others fight with you and don’t come to participate in the post-book ceremony? My plan is out, who will I cry?

So Cao Cao immediately sent someone to take the emperor's imperial edict to make Sun Ce feel at peace. Unexpectedly, by the time the envoy arrived in Yangzhou, Sun Ce had already occupied most of Yangzhou.

Sun Ce is young and energetic. How many of you, Cao Cao, are you? My father is much better than you. He has just won the title of Jiangdong Little Overlord, and this title is still very enthusiastic. He became timid after listening to the imperial edict. How can he be worthy of this title?

So after Sun Ce was polite, he was about to beat the envoy with a stick, but was persuaded by Zhang Hong and Zhang Zhao who came. The two advised Sun Ce to temporarily obey the imperial orders and not to show his sharpness. After temporarily stabilizing the land that was beaten, he would find an opportunity to unify Yangzhou.

Although Sun Ce was unhappy, he was not a person who could not listen to the advice. In addition, Yuan Shu also sent someone to find Sun Ce at this time to ask Sun Ce to go back to Shouchun, and other places were handed over to the people sent by Yuan Shu.

Sun Ce could not bear Yuan Shu's orders anymore. Since Sun Ce occupied Lujiang, he had already thought of turning against Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu would not blame him for robbing Lujiang, but he would also rebel.

Therefore, Sun Ce rudely killed the envoy sent by Yuan Shu, and then politely sent the envoy sent by Cao Cao back, expressing his willingness to obey the court's will, but the condition was that the court would recognize his status in Yangzhou.

Sun Ce temporarily expressed his obedience to the court. He planned to deal with Yuan Shu and then go to Cao Cao in the future. Anyway, he has recorded this hatred.

After Cao Cao received Sun Ce's reply, he was very satisfied. As long as you don't cause trouble, everything will be easy, so he agreed to Sun Ce's request.

After dealing with Sun Ce, Cao Cao found that Shouchun's Yuan Shu was ready to move, as if he wanted to start a military force and cause trouble.
