Chapter 350: That's Nothing
After Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were rescued by Su Mu's people, they had to travel a long way to a secret house, Su Mu had been waiting there for a long time, and when he saw Cao Cao and Yuan Shao arriving safely, he said with a smile: "The two of you have suffered in Ding Yuan!"
"Thank you, Mr. for the rescue!" Cao Cao and Yuan Shao bowed to Su Mu, but their eyes were attracted by the three people who came out of it.
"Yuan Rang, Miaocai, why are you?" Cao Cao was pleasantly surprised, among the three of them, two of them were Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan, both of them were dressed in cloth, and they were also relieved to see Cao Cao.
"Meng De, you have been secretly detained by Na Ding Yuan for the past few days, but you have made me and Miaocai anxious, but Na Ding Yuan Lao Er refuses to admit it, but frames you to assassinate Your Majesty, what is going on? I almost rushed to Ding Yuan's camp with my troops to ask for an explanation!" Xiahou said with some indignation.
Xiahou Yuan also nodded: "Yes, if it weren't for Mr. Su Mu's willingness to find out the news this time, I really don't know when we will be able to meet again!"
As he spoke, Xiahou Yuan looked at Su Mu who was standing on the side with some excitement, and the gratitude on his face was overflowing.
Yuan Shao looked at Yuan Tan who came out with the Xiahou brothers with the same surprise, and couldn't believe that he could see his eldest son again: "Tan'er, why are you here?"
Yuan Tan couldn't help but be excited, and tears were about to fall: "Father, you and General Cao suddenly disappeared that day, all of us have no backbone, and we want to go to Ding Yuan's camp to see Cousin Yi, but we were really angry when Ding Yuan's soldiers stopped me, and then Cousin Yi asked someone to send a message to the child, saying that there is something to discuss with this Mr. Su Mu, which is what happened today!"
Yuan Shao and Cao Cao glanced at each other, and Gao Yi had a conscience, and the two of them got up and bowed to Su Mu again.
Su Mu helped them up with a smile and pointed in the direction of the door: "Don't be busy with Old Man Xie, if it weren't for Gao Yi Xiaoyou's help to stumble Ding Yuan's people, with the old man's dozen subordinates, he would definitely fail!"
"Hahahaha, what the old gentleman said is really lifting me up!"
Suddenly there was a horse neighing outside the door, Gao Yi's familiar voice came, and when everyone in the house looked at it, Gao Yi himself had already turned over and dismounted and entered the door, and before everyone came to their senses, he had already bowed down in front of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao: "My nephew has seen my uncle, I have seen Senior Brother Meng De!"
"Hurry up, get up!" Yuan Shao saw Gao Yi's face at this time, but he was even more ashamed, at first he thought that with his connections, he could be in charge of Luoyang alone, but unexpectedly, it caused today's evil results, made a mess, and finally had to let Gao Yi, the nephew, wipe his buttocks, and do this as an uncle, it is really a loss of face.
Cao Cao also sighed, after he and Yuan Shao were locked up by Ding Yuan, he thought that Gao Yi would believe Ding Yuan's nonsense, but unexpectedly Gao Yi had his own opinions, and tried to rescue him and Yuan Shao in many ways.
Gao Yi got up, but his expression was not easy: "Let him go in the past, seeing that my uncle and senior brother are fine, my heart can be put back in my stomach, in fact, I came out this time, there is something else: Ding Yuan may not be willing to believe that this robbery is really related to Dong Zhuo, so I added a fire, saying that I am willing to persuade my uncle and senior brother and several battalions of Captain Bao Wang Yuzhou to participate in the escort of the holy car!"
When Yuan Tan heard this, he couldn't help but ask worriedly: "As his cousin said, Ding Yuan is also suspicious of his cousin, how can he believe his cousin's words?"
Gao Yi's eyes turned to Yuan Tan, and he smiled slightly: "I haven't seen my cousin for a long time, I have grown a lot taller, and my beard has grown, cough cough and get down to business, I don't need Ding Yuan to believe my words, because Your Majesty himself is personally protected by his righteous son Lu Bu, so Ding Yuan will rest assured that he will lead his troops north!"
Everyone was stunned, Cao Cao frowned, and sighed a little: "Ding Yuan is planning to control the government remotely, it's really ill-intentioned!"
"That's why I'm doing everything possible to let Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo fight a tough battle, two people with ill intentions will inevitably lose both, and when the time comes, we don't have to worry about which of them will sit big!" Gao Yi stared at Cao Cao's eyes and said word by word.
Xiahoudun looked at Gao Yi with a sneer, and there was no lack of ridicule in his tone: "Who can guarantee that it won't be you who will be the one who will be the big one when the time comes?"
"Yuan Rang, don't be rude!" Cao Cao turned around and rebuked Xiahou Dun.
Xiahoudun's momentum immediately subsided a lot with Cao Cao's reprimand, and obediently retreated to the side.
Gao Yi knew that Xiahoudun was Cao Cao's person, and he had always only been convinced by Cao Cao, if Gao Yi and Cao Cao did not have a brother-in-law relationship, Xiahoudun might not be able to look at Gao Yi and speak, but Gao Yi could not easily let others look down on him, he smiled and said: "If I Gao Yi is really the kind of person that Brother Yuan Rang said, why wait until now?" Is it just to gain a good reputation, you must know that until now, my soldiers have risked running out of food at any time, what am I trying to do, an irresponsible sentence that wants to control the government? Please use your brain when Brother Yuan Rang speaks in the future, my Gao Yi's character, it is not your turn to question it!"
Gao Yi has always been very respectful of Xiahoudun, but now Gao Yi knows that if he doesn't say some cruel words, he is afraid that everyone will treat him as a soft persimmon.
Xiahoudun snorted coldly, and sure enough, he stopped talking.
Cao Cao thought for a moment, and then said: "In this way, Mingyang, you mean that you will take the lead and temporarily control the remaining few Qinwang people, and Ding Yuan is also waiting for this result, right?"
"Moderation is a bit bluffing, I don't dare to be so arrogant!" Gao Yi stared into everyone's eyes, and then added, "But that's what it means, what do you think?"
This matter is not big, but it is not small, and no one made a sound for a while, Su Mu smiled and said: "This kind of national event, the old man is not suitable for a person from the mountains and the wilderness to listen to, you are at your own convenience, the old man and go out to see the stars!"
After saying that, Su Mu didn't wait for everyone to speak, and one flashed, and everyone saw the white clothes turning, and Su Mu and his people had already left the house.
Seeing this scene, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan and Yuan Tan also went out of the house one after another, leaving only Gao Yi and Yuan Shao and Cao Cao inside.
It was only at this time that Gao Yi said: "This is a last resort, and the two of you also know that I Gao Yi has always disliked to be involved in the political field, in fact, if I don't save you, I can also control the army of King Qin in the name of the Son of Heaven, but the consequence is definitely that no one will listen to me, Su Mu and I tried to save the two of them, there is only one reason, the soldiers of the two are also led by the two, but in order to hide from Ding Yuan's ears and eyes, you have to pretend to listen to my arrangement!"
Cao Cao understood Gao Yi's good intentions, and remembered Xiahoudun's cold words to Gao Yi just now, and couldn't help but feel guilty: " Understood, junior brother, although you don't want to get involved in the affairs of the court, but you are more concerned about the safety of the court than anyone else, you could have befriended Dong Zhuo and looked down on the heroes, but you didn't, you could have united with Ding Yuan to control the government, but you didn't, you could have stayed out of the matter and ignored it, but you didn't, in vain I and other courtiers will only make the chaos more and more chaotic, ashamed, you can rest assured, after I return to my military camp, I will let Yuan Rang and Miaocai fully cooperate with you, if they dare to make things difficult for you again, I will personally punish them!"
Gao Yi is waiting for Cao Cao's words, since he knew Cao Cao, he almost didn't see this later traitor make any wrong decisions, not to mention that at this time, there are think tanks such as Xi Zhicai to help, but Yuan Shao, in contrast, it is just the opposite of the later period of good scheming, it is good to make no decisions, if such a person controls the government, the consequences can be imagined.
Yuan Shao didn't know what Gao Yi was thinking at the moment, he came to the oil lamp on the desk, picked out the somewhat dim wick, and the room suddenly became much brighter, and he also turned around, and his tall figure cast a long shadow on the wall, enveloping Gao Yi's whole person inside, and then asked slowly: "There are two things, uncle, I don't quite understand, first, Yi'er, you are not afraid that Lu Bu, who protects Your Majesty, will kill Your Majesty with evil intentions, and then falsely pass on Your Majesty's edict to Ding Yuan?" Second, Yi'er, since you said that Ding Yuan doesn't trust you, aren't you afraid that if you leave his barracks on the front foot, he will send someone to follow you on the back foot?"
Gao Yi had expected these two questions a long time ago, but he thought that it would be Cao Cao who asked these two questions, but he didn't expect that it would be Yuan Shao who would ask.
But no matter who asks, it is the same for Gao Yi, he looked directly into Yuan Shao's eyes, and said unhurriedly: "Since there is no one else here now, my nephew will tell the truth, the Son of Heaven that Lu Bu is going to protect is not the real Son of Heaven, but Ding Yuan's daughter, called Yin Feng, so this situation that my uncle said is impossible to happen!"
This time it was Cao Cao's turn to be surprised: "It turns out that Mingyang knows!"
Gao Yi smiled: "Didn't you also know, why didn't you tell me?"
Yuan Shao and Cao Cao couldn't help but look at each other and were speechless.
Gao Yi continued: "As for the second question, that's not a problem, uncle really thought that my nephew would be so stupid and obediently let Ding Yuan's people follow him? I had already arranged a stand-in to confuse the other party!"
"Oh, who is it?" Yuan Shao couldn't help but be curious.
Gao Yi smiled mysteriously: "This person, Senior Brother Meng De knows!"
Cao Cao was stunned by Gao Yi: "This is interesting, I don't know what kind of character it is?"
Gao Yi said: "This person, you must not think of it, it is Diao Chan!"
"Diao Chan?" Hearing this name, Cao Cao was slightly surprised.
