Chapter 389: Return to the army Xu Du
Queen Fushou can be said to be Liu Xie's most trusted person in this world.
They are not only a husband and wife in distress who share the same bed, but also partners who are in the same boat through thick and thin.
At this time, in the royal family surnamed Liu, Liu Xie no longer had anyone to rely on, but the family behind Queen Fu secretly helped a lot.
Previously, Fu's protΓ©gΓ© had a speaker named Zhao Yan, who had reminded him to pay attention to Cao Cao, but he couldn't do anything, so Cao Cao casually found a reason to kill Zhao Yilang.
Since then, Empress Fu has been secretly plotting.
She even wrote a letter to her father, asking him to hire a clever assassin to assassinate Cao Cao.
It's just that he was relatively timid, but he didn't dare to do it.
"Your Majesty, that Liu Ping is the first proud person by Cao Cao's side."
At this time, there was no third person in the imperial study, Fu Shou walked over from behind, side by side with Liu Xie, looked at the drizzle outside the window and said: "I heard that this time Cao Yuan fought in Guandu, if it weren't for Liu Ping's repeated surprise troops and heavy defeat of Yuan Jun, the winner would be Yuan." β
"That Liu Ping, as the head of the Yuedan Commentary, is indeed a genius in the world," Liu Xie copied his hands, maintaining the majesty of the emperor, but sighed again: "It's a pity that he can't be used by me after all." β
"Since he is not our friend or our enemy, if we want to get rid of Cao Cao, we must first move Liu Ping's obstacle away.
Otherwise, that man's wisdom is too astonishing, and he will repeatedly sabotage His Majesty's plans. β
Empress Fu said, took out a bag from her arms, held it up to Liu Xie, and said with a resolute expression: "'Sir' has a clever plan here, Your Majesty only needs to do it, and Liu Ping can be successfully removed."
As long as Liu Ping is not there, it will be much easier to get rid of Cao Cao. β
"'Sir' is still willing to plan for me?" Liu Xie smiled bitterly, opened the bag, and inside was a silk book.
"This ......" After Liu Xie saw it, his face suddenly turned embarrassed: "Isn't it worthy of the ancestors to do this?" β
As he spoke, he handed the silk book to Queen Fu.
After Empress Fu read it, she threw the silk book into the incense burner and burned it to ashes in an instant.
She said lightly: "Your Majesty is responsible for the revival of the Han Dynasty, the road ahead is full of thorns and difficulties, as long as the heart is to the ancestral industry, what is a small sacrifice?"
I think that the emperors of the past dynasties will understand His Majesty's suffering. β
Liu Xie pondered for a long time, and finally nodded: "Now that Cao Cao's grandeur has been revealed, I am afraid that he will be even more pressing step by step."
I really can't wait any longer, so I'll do what 'sir' does. β
Thinking that the authority of the highest power can only be controlled by one person, this is a life-and-death struggle between you and me.
β¦β¦
Liu Ping led the soldiers to burn the black nest clean, and then returned to the division to cross.
By the time he returned to Guandu, Cao Cao had already conquered the Yuan army barriers, and Yuan Shao had only led 800 cavalry across the Yellow River and fled back to Hebei.
However, at this time, although Yuan Shao's vitality was greatly damaged, he still held the land of the four states and had a large population, which was not something that the Cao clan could match.
Fortunately, Liu Ping knew that Yuan Shao was dying.
Moreover, Yuan Shao died by himself, and divided his four states to his three sons and nephew Gao Gan, but after his death, the lords of the four states began to kill each other and attack each other.
Even in order to kill their brother, they asked Cao Cao for help.
So the Cao clan not only did a good man, but also won the territory, and after several years of conquest, they finally unified the north without danger.
That's all for later.
"Ping'er has turned the tide in this battle, and has made great contributions, and when he returns to Xudu, we will take ten thousand households as food, and you will take ten thousand households as food," Cao Cao said to Liu Ping happily in Cao Jun's big tent.
This is what Cao Cao promised Liu Ping before.
Cao Cao originally wanted to wait for Cao Ang to inherit the Cao family's foundation before appointing Liu Ping as the Marquis of Wanhu, so as to show the kindness of a monarch.
But now Liu Ping's credit is too great to be suppressed, so Cao Cao directly sealed the ten thousand households.
After all, if Liu Ping hadn't risked his life to burn the grain and grass of the Yuan army, the entire Cao clan would have been wiped out.
"Thank you father-in-law for your success," Liu Ping said politely: "All the food of the son-in-law is rewarded by the father-in-law, and there is really no need for food." β
Cao Cao smiled heartily and waved his hand and said: "You don't have to worry about Mu Xiu Yulin, the merits you have made are useless to others, and you don't have to worry about the merits, I still have this amount of tolerance."
We are still fighting the world now, how can anyone worry about the meritorious service of our subordinates? β
This matter was settled, Cao Cao paused and said: "I promised you that you would be granted the title of meritorious general, and you would report them to me, and I would ask the Son of Heaven for a reward at that time." β
Liu Ping thought for a while and said, "Just reward Tao Qing and the former Danyang generals." β
"But Taishi Ziyi, Zhang Wenyuan, they ......"
Cao Cao originally thought that Liu Ping would give credit to Tai Shi Ci and Zhang Liao, because everyone knew that those people were the main generals under Liu Ping's account, and they played a greater role than Tao Qing.
However, Liu Ping just asked for credit for Tao Qing, and never mentioned Zhang Liaotai, Shi Ci and others.
Cao Cao understood the reason after thinking about it.
He is deliberately suppressing Liu Pingli's credit, isn't Liu Ping suppressing the credit of several of his main generals?
After Tai Shici Zhang Liao and others rescued the driver, they had already been named generals and marquis, and if they were sealed at this time, they would overshadow Cao Hong and Cao Ren and other Cao family relatives, which would not be very good-looking.
But this is also something that can't be helped, Liu Ping's meritorious service is like hemp, and he can get a lot of benefits by fooling around him.
Just like Tao Qing's group of Danyang generals, their individual combat exploits may not be as good as those of Ban Lejin and others, but because they follow the right person, their official positions are also promoted faster.
"Well, when I return to Xudu, I will ask the imperial court for the Marquis of Guannei," Cao Cao happily agreed.
In the tent, Le Jin and other generals really drooled with envy.
But they couldn't do anything about it.
Sawing branches from a big tree is naturally thicker than a small tree, Liu Ping took a small piece of it from such a big military feat, and distributed it to his subordinates, which was enough for a marquis.
β¦β¦
Since Yuan Shao's army had been wiped out, there was no need for them to stay here, so Cao Cao immediately ordered to pack up his baggage and prepare to return to his division.
Before leaving, the generals looked at the camp that had been stationed for half a year and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
I don't know how many people have died here in the past six months.
However, for Cao's army, not only did the army not lose, but with the surrender of Zhang He Gaoran, they numbered 20,000 more horses than when they came.
On the way back to the army, Liu Ping informed them of the news that Cao Cao was going to ask for the marquis of Guan for Tao Qing.
Tao Qing and other Danyang low-level generals were naturally grateful to Dade.
Originally, a general of their level, I am afraid that it will be impossible to become a marquis after a lifetime of fighting.
But with Liu Ping, the main general, he can be crowned a marquis if he wins this battle.
You must know that the addition of the marquis can not only get great benefits, but also glorify the ancestors.
They made up their minds that there was no other way to repay them except for their unrequited allegiance.
All the soldiers were mighty, and they returned to Xudu after a long absence, and everyone had a feeling of being separated from the world.
As soon as he returned to Sikong Mansion, Man Zhong immediately came to report: "Sikong, Huaxin Wang Lang has proposed in the court to be the Duke of Sikong Jin and add Jiuxi, but the Son of Heaven did not agree.
Not sure what to do next? β
