"Brother, the younger brother has given you a salute." Li Fu came to Cao Cao and saluted.

"Boya, I've worked hard for you this time. You take the most credit. After that, you will go directly to my staff group and take care of the intelligence work for me. Cao Cao smiled and nodded.

Li Fu betrayed Liu Yu, wasn't it just to be able to hold power? Li Fu said excitedly: "Thank you, brother." ”

Cao Cao patted Li Fu on the shoulder, and said in the tone of his boss: "Work hard, this official believes that your ability will not be inferior to your brother Li Zhongyun, what your brother can do, you can too!" ”

Li Fu nodded vigorously when he heard Cao Cao say this.

After chatting with Li Fu, Cao Cao's troops were ready, and Cao Cao ordered the whole army to advance towards Xuchang.

And Hou Cheng, the general of the Tiger Prison, was originally very wary of Cao Cao's army outside the gate, and sent several urgent documents to Luoyang, but unfortunately he never reported it.

Hou Cheng was worried about whether something had happened, so he didn't dare to leave the Tiger Prison for a moment.

However, Cao Cao kept his troops still, and finally withdrew for no reason, which made Hou Cheng even more puzzled, and Hou Cheng believed that Cao Cao definitely had a conspiracy.

It wasn't until Luoyang's urgent report arrived that Hou Cheng knew what was going on. Hou Cheng took the soldiers and horses of the Tiger Prison Pass and chased after him like crazy.

But Hou Cheng forgot one thing, how could a figure like Cao Cao withdraw his troops without making arrangements? Cao Cao had already arranged for Xiahoudun to set up an ambush at the foot of a small mountain, and Hou Cheng was in a hurry to pursue, not realizing that he had been calculated.

The big gift that was sent, how could Xiahoudun let it go, and killed it very unceremoniously.

In the end, Hou Cheng almost wiped out the whole army, and fled back to the Tiger Prison Pass in embarrassment.

Without pursuit, Cao Cao's army was able to return safely to Xuchang.

Cao Cao informed Xun Yu and the others to prepare a grand welcoming ceremony. Xun Yu was very loyal to the Han family and knew how important it was for Cao Cao to get Liu Xie, so he prepared very hard.

Liu Xie thought that Xuchang was just a small city, and he didn't have much hope. When he came to Xuchang, he found that the scale of Xuchang was not small, and the people's attitude towards him was also very enthusiastic. This made Liu Xie feel that it was different from Liu Yu's side. On Liu Yu's side, the people only know Liu Yu, the king of Zhao, but they don't know much about him, the emperor. Such a stark contrast touched Liu Xie deeply.

Cao Cao walked in the forefront with high spirits, and now that he has obtained the Son of Heaven, then he can use Liu Xie's trump card to constantly provoke contradictions between the princes. Getting Liu Xie so easily, Cao Cao felt that God was already favoring him.

Cao Cao brought Liu Xie and the ministers into a large hall, and the ministers also regained their original momentum and sat in separate positions. Cao Cao sat very low-key in the corner.

After everyone sat down, Liu Xie said solemnly: "General Cao has the greatest credit for being able to break away from Luoyang this time, and I will reward him well." ”

Cao Cao came out of the ranks, knelt down and said, "This is what a minister should do." ”

Liu Xie has nothing but being knighted.

"Well, General Cao is really loyal and patriotic, so it is better to give him the title of court lieutenant. What does Your Majesty think? Fu Wan hurriedly said.

After the ambush, this is a secret surrender to Cao Cao Mingsheng. The official position of the court lieutenant is very high, and he belongs to one of the nine kings, but there is an important point that although the court lieutenant is high and powerful, he cannot have military power. After Fu Wan suffered enough losses from Liu Yu, he understood that he had no military power in his hands, and he could only let people eat meat, so he would propose it now. As for Cao Cao's appointment as a court lieutenant, who should his military power be given to? Fu Wan felt that he was barely able to lead the soldiers of Yanzhou to defend Liu Xie.

Cao Cao also knew this very well, and he had a murderous attack on this person who had made trouble for him several times.

"What Guozhang said makes a lot of sense." Liu Xie also saw the purpose of Fu Wan, and he didn't want to be controlled by others anymore.

But the reality is often cruel, I saw Xun Yu stand up and say: "Your Majesty, General Cao has worked hard and made great achievements, and Feng Tingwei is a little too inappropriate." ”

Liu Xie didn't expect someone to refute him, and his eyes widened.

"Your Majesty, Lord Cao has made a lot of contributions, if it is just a court lieutenant, it is estimated that people's hearts will be uneasy." Cheng Yu also came out to add oil and vinegar.

"Your Majesty, it's so unfair. I can't wait! "Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren, Cao Cao's henchmen, not to mention.

"You guys!" After that anger.

Liu Xie's face was gloomy, and after a long time, he asked Cao Cao, "What does General Cao think of everyone's suggestions?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister is not very convinced of His Majesty's decision. The ministers are all rough people, and I am afraid that they will do something that the ministers can't stop, please think twice. Cao Cao said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Cao Cao was threatening Liu Xie, and Liu Xie's face suddenly turned blue. Originally, he thought that after staying away from Liu Yu's control, he would be able to enter the sea and create a great cause like Gaozu and Emperor Guangwu, but now he deeply realized that he had jumped from one pit to another.

The ministers were also silent.

At this time, Cao Cao said again: "Your Majesty, the minister feels that the matter of the minister's official is still secondary. First of all, what you want is to ask Your Majesty to announce the relocation of the capital to Xuchang, and Xuchang will be the capital of the Han Dynasty in the future. The minister is loyal to the Han and hopes that His Majesty will be very serious. ”

Move the capital?!

Liu Xiehe and the ministers were amazed. Until now, there are two places in Dahan as the national capital, one is Chang'an and the other is Luoyang. Xuchang will not be the capital of the country anyway, and more importantly, Xuchang is Cao Cao's place of governance, where there is a capital of a country under the ministers.

Liu Xie wanted to oppose it, but he couldn't figure out Cao Cao's heart.

After thinking about it, Liu Xie said with a smile: "Cao Aiqing is really old and seeking a country. I agreed to Cao Aiqing's request. ”

"Your Majesty is wise." Cao Cao bowed flatteringly.

"Cao Aiqing saved me in danger, his hard work is high, and his merits cannot be commended if he is not rewarded. The relocation of the capital was agreed, and Liu Xie fulfilled what Cao Cao wanted. He also has this right worthy of Cao Cao's calculations.

"Your Majesty is wise." A large number of Cao Cao's confidants and lovers knelt on the ground.

Liu Xie didn't feel high up for so many people kneeling at his feet, as if he saw that these people kneeling in front of him were sarcastic in their hearts.

Liu Xie now regrets leaving Luoyang a little. In Luoyang, although he has no rights, Liu Yu will not want Cao Cao to threaten him like this. Liu Yu will at least remember some old feelings, but what Cao Cao does to Liu Xie depends on his mood.

"Alright, let's go down if there's nothing to do. I'm tired too. "Liu Xie started to drive people out, and he doesn't have the good mood he used to be now.
