    After finishing his official duties, Liu Ke went to visit the retired soldiers.

    "Thank you for your efforts. Without you, Yangzhou would not have won!"

    "As long as you are alive, there are infinite possibilities, and the government will always have your backing!"

    "Go back home and honor your parents. In troubled times, peace is the blessing!"

    The soldiers here all have disabilities. Although the government has made arrangements for them, they are veterans on the battlefield after all. They are reluctant to retire at this time.

    Liu Ke talked one by one, which made them relax.

    It is precisely because of the existence of these veterans that Liu Ke can win every battle, so he is a little reluctant to give up at this moment.

    "However, they are no longer suitable for battlefield combat, they have a new battlefield.

    Liu Ke gave each person a jar of good wine to celebrate the last dinner.

    "My lord, Liu Ye, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, is asking for an audience." A guard reported.

    Liu Ke was extremely surprised. What happened to Liu Ye that made him so anxious?

    "Let him come over."

    After a while, Liu Ye came to salute Liu Ke and said: "Greetings, my lord."

    "Why are you so anxious?" Liu Ke asked.

    Liu Ye is a descendant of Fuling King Liu Yan, the son of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu. He is also a clan member of the Han Dynasty, so Liu Ke values ??him very much.

    When the war started in the Central Plains, Liu Ke felt that Chen Deng, the governor of Lelang County, was weak and weak, so he sent Liu Ye to the north.

    Liu Ye did not disappoint. He successfully persuaded Gongsun Du to join the crusade against Yuan Shao and helped Chen Deng capture Youzhou in one fell swoop, leaving Yuan Shao in chaos.

    In Liu Ke¡¯s impression, Liu Ye is a mature and steady person. For ordinary matters, Liu Ke will not be approached directly.

    "My lord, it's like this. Although our army won this battle, there are still many princes in the world who oppose my lord. Among them, Cao Cao is the most powerful." Liu Ye said.

    "Cao Cao has surrendered." Liu Kedao said.

    "Cao Cao is cunning, this is only temporary. If the lord does not put shackles on him, I am afraid something will happen again." Liu Ye said.

    "You mean, we want to take advantage of our great victory to do something?" Liu Ke paused and then said, "But our army is exhausted and it is impossible to start another war."

    Now that everyone has finally come back, they suddenly launch a war. Not only are the soldiers dissatisfied, but Liu Ke will not agree.

    "My lord has misunderstood, it is not necessary to fight to achieve the goal." Liu Ye said.

    "Don't be so pretentious." Liu Ke urged.

    "My lord can submit a letter to ask Cao Cao to move the capital to Xu County." Liu Ye said with hidden murderous intent.

    Xu County is located in Yuzhou and falls under the jurisdiction of Yingchuan County.  Emperor Xian and the princes once hunted in autumn here and reached an agreement on autumn hunting.

    Now, Runan County and Chen County are both Liu Ke¡¯s territories, and are close neighbors to Yingchuan County.

    In other words, as long as Liu Ke accumulates heavy troops in Runan County, he can reach Xu County in one day.

    And Liu Ye¡¯s suggestion directly pushed Cao Cao to Liu Ke¡¯s blade.

    How could Cao Cao agree?

    How dare he agree?

    However, Liu Ke's prestige reached its peak when he defeated an allied force of one million people in the Central Plains and defeated a foreign army of one million people.

    If Liu Ke was determined to let Cao Cao move the capital, would he dare not to do so?

    This is also the reason why Liu Ye is so eager. As time goes by, people will forget Liu Ke's illustrious military exploits.

    In order to avoid the war, Cao Cao moved from Chenliu to Chang'an because Chang'an had a superior geographical location and was far away from Yangzhou.

    If Liu Ke wants to attack Chang'an, he must pass through Hulao Pass in Luoyang, Hangu Pass in Chang'an and many other checkpoints.

    For Cao Cao, the capital is in Chang'an, which is as stable as an old dog.

    However, now Liu Ye is pulling out all the stops and forcing Cao Cao to move his capital to Xu County.

    Xu County is not only a small county, it is too far behind Chang'an, and there is no danger to defend.

    If Cao Cao moves his capital to Xu County, he will not be able to sleep well.

    "But, what does Cao Cao's uneasy sleep have to do with Liu Ke?"

    As long as it is beneficial to Yangzhou.

    The reason why Liu Ke did not welcome Emperor Xian was because he was worried about the dispersion of power.

    This is advantageous to Cao Cao.

    Cao Cao welcomed Emperor Xian, and the court became his official voice, while Liu Ke had no influence at all in the court.

    As long as Cao Cao moves the capitalIn Xu County, Liu Ke had unparalleled deterrence.

    After all, in this era, having a big fist is the last word.

    I have to say that Liu Ye¡¯s suggestion is very beneficial to Yangzhou, and at the same time, it is also very imaginative.

    Liu Ke¡¯s group of advisers never thought of this. After all, everyone has different concerns.

    "If it's just coercion, I'm afraid Cao Cao may not agree." Liu Kedao.

    At this point, Liu Ke was already moved.

    However, once he starts, Liu Ke must complete it. Giving up halfway is not what he wants.

    "My lord, what I said makes sense, so the plan still needs to be perfected," Liu Ye said.

    Liu Ye provided a very clear idea. The next step is how to make Cao Cao submit.

    "Zi Yang, please draw up specific regulations. This matter can be brought up in the morning meeting tomorrow." Liu Kedao.

    Liu Ye nodded.

    The next day, the morning meeting in Dongyang City was held as scheduled.

    After Liu Ke finished handling other matters, he signaled Liu Ye to stand up.

    Liu Ye explained his thoughts, and there was a buzz of discussion in the venue.

    "My lord, although this is a wonderful move, I'm afraid Cao Cao won't be able to capture him without mercy." Guo Jiadao.

    "Cao Cao was a generation of tycoons who had the ambition to seize the world. Moving the capital to Xu County would mean surrender and losing the capital to compete for the world. Once Cao Cao refuses and damages the lord's reputation, what should the lord do?" Lu Su said.

    The best way is of course to have a war!

    It¡¯s just that Yangzhou is now in a state of recuperation, and rashly launching a war is not in Yangzhou¡¯s interests.

    It is not advisable to resort to force.

    "That's why I asked you to come up with a way to force Cao Cao to submit." Liu Kedao.

    Hearing this, Lu Su felt relieved. As long as it was not a war, his mind became active and he said: "My lord, you might as well exempt Cao Cao from paying tribute and increase the bargaining chip in your hand."

    "It's feasible." Liu Kedao said that although Yangzhou's treasury was empty, it could recover as long as the war stopped for one year.

    Cao Cao is different. He is getting poorer year by year. Therefore, if he can get free tribute, he can break through Cao Cao's psychological defense.

    A penny can stump a good man!

    "My lord, you might as well use Yuzhou as bait." Guo Jiadao.

    "Tell me the details," Liu Kedao said.

    "As long as Cao Cao moves his capital to Xu County, except for Runan County and Chen County, other places can be occupied by Cao Cao by default." Guo Jiadao.

    This trick is not bad!

    Yuzhou is not Liu Ke¡¯s territory, there are still forces such as Liu Bei and Zhang Xiu.

    If Cao Cao can be made to compromise, Liu Ke will just lose a strategic goal. If there is a problem or the negotiation breaks down in the future, he can get it back at any time.

    Next, everyone talked to each other and gradually perfected the plan.

    Liu Ke felt that the possibility of Cao Cao refusing was very small.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
