However, the emperor lived deep in the palace, and what he saw was just a high wall, and what he heard was just a few words. The eunuchs were born with the emperor's tentacles and ears. After the Ten Eunuchs, the weak eunuchs were undoubtedly the same as the emperor's ability to control the court and the country was declining, even to zero.

After Cao Cao attacked Guanzhong, good news flew over like snowflakes.

True, true, false, false.

A yellow eunuch said excitedly: "Your Majesty, if the Prime Minister conquered Guanzhong, our Han Dynasty will surely be very revitalized. Then the world will be unified and the rejuvenation will be expected!"

The eunuchs also said in unison: "Congratulations to Your Majesty! The rejuvenation is in sight!"

Liu Xie laughed twice, but there seemed to be not much joy in the laughter, and it seemed to be dealing with the matter.

However, Liu Xie quickly noticed this problem and said in a concealment: "I...I don't want to see such a life suffering...The people are so distressed..."

The eunuchs looked at each other and hurriedly bowed to the ground: "Your Majesty is kind! The people must be grateful!"

Can the eunuchs represent the people? Anyway, is it a matter of tears? As long as the people don’t say they are crying in pain, they can be regarded as shedding tears of happiness.

Does the people have channels to speak out?

Then it must be happiness.

『How many troops are there in Guanzhong?』 Liu Xie looked around and asked,『I heard that the Guanzhong cavalry was in the north of Mobei, and expelling the Xianbei was like turning their hands...If the cavalry revolved, the Prime Minister might be...I wonder if the Prime Minister had a way to deal with it?"

"This..." the eunuchs looked at each other in an instant.

Shouldn’t we ask Cao Cao about this question?

Why do you ask us?

However, there were also several eunuchs who seemed to understand what the emperor meant, so they lowered their heads deeply...

What the emperor asked was not that the prime minister had any way to deal with it, but that he had to listen to it in reverse, and that he was asking about what way to deal with the prime minister!

All the eunuchs refused to answer. After waiting for a while, Liu Xie waved his hand, "It's okay. Let's retreat!"

"I'll leave..."

The eunuchs slowly stepped back with their butts sticking out.

Chongde Hall became cold again, quiet, like the hustle and bustle just now, like a dream.

Liu Xie now understands that the emperor without military power is just a decoration.

The troops and horses in Guanzhong began with Fei Qian.

Then the soldiers from Shandong were naturally built in Cao Cao.

Compared with the relatively far away Guanzhong, Liu Xie is still familiar with the military force under Cao Cao in Shandong...

During the rebellion of Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao "scattered family wealth and joined forces with the righteous army" and organized three or five thousand people in the private sector to participate in the war against Dong Zhuo.

This is the beginning of the Cao army's system of military power concentration.

After Dong Zhuo was killed, Cao Cao licked Yuan Shao and served as the governor of Yanzhou. After receiving angel investment from a group of bigwigs, in order to expand his strength, he tried his best to win over local powerful landlords. Other members of the Xiahou clan of the Cao family, as well as Le Jin, Li Dian and Ren Jun, etc., were almost at this time, either surrendering to Cao Cao, or leading his own troops to join him, becoming Cao Cao's confidant troops and the backbone of the Wei army in the future.

Soon, Cao Cao discovered that he could not cross these local tyrants to command the armed forces under him. The troops of these local tyrants were Cao Cao's troops on the surface, but in fact they only followed the command of his leader. As for Cao Cao's orders...

So Cao Cao was unwilling to be undermined, so he set his sights on it. Perhaps he had conspired with Bao Xin to form the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Group in Jibei at that time. Cao Cao finally ate this unit, "more than 300,000 surrendered soldiers and more than one million men and women. The one who took over his elite was called Qingzhou Army", which became the most important cornerstone of the Wei army's infantry.

Bao Xin, who was originally the most qualified to share the benefits of this cornerstone, died in a perfect battle!

Cao Cao cried bitterly...

Cao Cao's cavalry originally came from the Hu people. In history, after Cao Cao conquered the Wuhuan people, he moved his tribe to China and followed the crowd of Hou Yu and the conquest. As a result, Wuhuan of the three counties became famous cavalry in the world. Cao Cao used Qingzhou soldiers and Wuhuan cavalry in the other hand, and suppressed the wealthy families in Jizhou, even if he farted, he had to keep his farts into the sound of silk and bamboo.

In history, Cao Cao, who had powerful infantry and cavalry, focused on the navy of Jingzhou. After Cao Cao captured Jingzhou, the three armies really combined and dominated the world. In theory, it was necessary for infantry to have infantry, cavalry to have cavalry, and navy to have navy! As a result, Lao Cao was wandering, and before he could defeat Jiangdong, he muttered about Zhou Gong, Zhou Lao Zhou Runfa, etc., which was known to everyone. So Lao Cao suffered an unprecedented defeat and almost returned to the front of Dong overnight...

Now Cao Cao's evolution process has been interrupted and suppressed by Fei Qian, and has not evolved into the ultimate body. It can only be considered a half-finished body. In history, Cao Cao claimed to be one million in the Battle of Chibi, which is naturally an exaggeration. At that time, Cao's army was about 200,000 in water, land, and cavalry, and the total strength of soldiers guarding various places in the Central Plains was about 300,000. This is the ultimate form of Cao Cao's prosperity in history. Now Cao Cao only has 200,000 troops, but because his territory has been reduced, the number of troops distributed in various places is not as many as in history, so the ones that can be used to attack Fei Qian are more than 100,000 troops.

After calculating Cao Cao's troops, we can naturally understand where Cao Cao's confidence comes from, and why the nobles and emperor Liu Xie in Jizhou, Yuzhou, supported Cao Cao to attack Fei Qian while thinking about causing trouble...

For example, Zhong Yao proposed a plan to avoid death.

However, even if the theory of avoiding death is successful, it can only be self-protection, and it is self-protection for local wealthy households.

It's not the emperor's self-protection.

Zhong Yao was just using this method. On the one hand, he connected with more powerful households who were worried about being liquidated and forced Cao Cao to compromise and no longer waved his sword to kill people at any time. On the other hand, he also used this method to allow Cao Cao to obtain the expenditure of powerful households and circulate more labor and food to support the continued war.

This is a very successful strategy, full of compromise.

It is a mutual compromise between local tyrants and powerful people, and it does not have any special benefits for Emperor Liu Xie.

Liu Xie understood this and smelled the smell. Now the news of the victory on the front line like snowflakes made him worry. If Cao's army really won a great victory and really conquered Guanzhong and defeated Fei Qian, then Fei Qian might not be the only one who was unlucky...

So, should you secretly pull the heels of an old comrade?
