"Lingzun's business...... I feel sorry. The two sat down, Liu Tao knew that he didn't speak, Cao Cao didn't dare to speak first, so he could only start first.

"Thanks to Your Majesty's care, it's a great honor for you!" Cao Cao replied with some 'excitement'.

Of course, Liu Tao could see that this was just a scene, and he couldn't see that he was sincere.

It is not denied that in the matter of Cao Song's death, Dahan got a lot of benefits. Cao Cao's suggestion to use this matter to make a fuss in exchange for the opportunity for the court to seek justice for his father can only be said to be a transaction.

A fool would resign and act as an assassin to assassinate Tao Qian or something. As a politician, being able to pull the country into the water to help him avenge him is called ability!

"I am scheduled to attack all the way to Pengcheng. At the very least, we must also knock Pei County down. Tao Qian's old age must atone for Qing's father's grave, I don't know if Qing can accept this? Liu Tao asked.

"Thank you!" When Cao Cao heard this, he was 'excited' and saluted Liu Tao. It's hard to say whether it's really true, after all, he died a father in history, but he was slaughtered all the way to the bottom of Pengcheng, and I don't know how many people were buried with his father.

Of course, there are also theories that Cao Cao just used the excuse of avenging his father with the aim of seizing Xuzhou.

At first, the city was indeed slaughtered, in order to let the subsequent cities get the news and surrender as soon as Cao's army arrived. In fact, Cao Cao did not spend much time to kill under Pengcheng.

Considering that Liu Bei was arranged to Peijun in the future, he could still recruit 10,000 or 20,000 troops there, and the latter was more likely.

Of course, massacres and tomb robbing, no matter what the purpose, Cao Cao's reputation was also extremely black because of this.

In addition, he was good at killing celebrities and men before, so when Lu Bu came over, Chen Gong took the lead, and Zhang Miao and others abandoned Cao Cao and recommended Lu Bu to be the pastor of Yanzhou.

Liu Tao felt that if attacking Xuzhou was just an excuse, then the conditions he gave were enough.

"At present, when the imperial court is still employing people, I can't approve you to keep filial piety for your father for three months. At most, I can only approve you for a month. Counting the round-trip journey, I have to come back within two months, can I? Liu Tao continued to ask.

"The minister is a Han minister, and serving the court is a matter of duty...... "Of course, Cao Cao has no problem, or in other words, most officials, even if their parents die and want to keep filial piety, they have to find a way to 'seize affection and retain'.

Especially in the Ming and Qing dynasties, it really took three years to keep filial piety. After three years of filial piety, who in the court still remembers you? Even if he can continue to be an official, he is estimated to be marginalized.

"Any more requirements? This time Qing can be regarded as a meritorious service to the imperial court, and I plan to reward you well. Liu Tao asked.

"Taking advantage of the death of my father has already violated filial piety, and if I still ask for a reward with this, the minister will probably have no shame in the future." Cao Cao shook his head, other things are easy to say, there is no way to do this.

"In this case......" Liu Tao thought for a while, "Sizhou assassinated Shi Cao Cao, rebuilt Luoyang meritorious, sealed Xu County Marquis, and ate 500 households, this Aiqing can't refuse, right?" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Cao Cao was really excited this time, and hurriedly thanked him.

After a few more words of encouragement to Cao Cao, Liu Tao got up and went out with him. The matter was indeed caused by Cao Cao, but in the end, after losing his father, the mood of the courtiers should still be taken care of, so as not to leave some bad hidden dangers.

Other people don't care, Cao Cao, a 'capable minister who rules the world, a traitor in troubled times', really wants to mess up, the threat is definitely not counted, but it will bring him a lot of trouble.

In Luoyang, Liu Tao only stayed for one day, mainly to keep Xun Yu from being too difficult, so the itinerary was a bit rushed.

After confirming that Cao Cao was indeed fine, Liu Tao began to march eastward. There are not many mountains, the road is much easier to walk, and with the bonus of acceleration and leather boots, a hundred miles a day is considered slow.

After two or three days of hard work, Liu Tao's team had already come to Chenliu and then rested here. Earlier, someone had already been sent to inform Liu Chong and Liu Dai, and even Guan Yu, who was leading the army this time, was waiting here.

When Liu Tao came here, the soldiers and horses of the three parties had already gathered here.

"Nephew to your majesty!" Liu Pet is still the same, and when he saw Liu Tao, he came up enthusiastically to salute.

"Your Majesty!" Liu Dai is a little more decent, and it is a plus that he does not claim to be the king of the domain.

"After the battle against Dong, the three of us haven't been together for a while. I've brought a few imperial chefs this time, so I'll borrow a place tonight and prepare some food and drinks, and the three of us will have a drink! Liu Tao stepped forward and said with a smile.

"Where, where your majesty comes in person, you should prepare the banquet by the ministers." When Liu Dai heard this, he immediately took the initiative to ask for help.

"You don't understand, my good food is to use the imperial chef to study the dishes and improve the skills. It's not that I boast, the best cook in Dahan probably came from my imperial dining room. Haha, let's not talk about that, anyway, it's a good meal tonight. Liu Tao laughed, "Come, go to the yamen first, and our three relatives will have a good chat." ”

When Liu Dai and Liu Chong heard this, they looked at each other and smiled, with the word Liu Tao's 'relative', everything is stable.

Recently, I am not a family member, the closest is a relative, and the most trusted is the township party. When Liu Tao first started, Liu Yuanqi was worried that Zhang Fei and others would gain power, regardless of the oath, so he specially prepared a group of Liu Tao's children to act as personal guards.

Let's talk about Xu Chu and Li Dian, the former took 500 people to Liu Chong's command; Li Dian followed his father and brought thousands of people to Liu Dai, and Lejin was in his hometown, bringing hundreds of township parties.

When Cao Cao raised his army, the first to respond was the Cao clan's relatives, and then the Xiahou clan, a clan member of Cao Cao's bloodline, responded.

Liu Tao said that the relatives of the two, so the clan relatives are not reused, can they trust the ministers so much? !

The three of them came to the mansion of Chenliu County, even if they were the current Taishou of Chenliu County, they had to give way to the three of them, and obediently waited beside them, and the only one who could come in with these three people and sit on an equal footing was Guan Yu, the king of Dingxiang.

However, this meeting was very important, Guan Yu did not follow up, but brought people to guard the surroundings to ensure Liu Tao's safety.

"The three of us are all relatives, and there is no need to make so many detours about some things." Liu Tao looked at the two of them, "I came here this time, one to inspect the headquarters of General Annan and encourage the soldiers. The second is for the two of them. ”

In their hearts, the two of them actually already roughly knew what Liu Tao meant to go south. It's just that Liu Tao said it, and he still felt a little uncomfortable. After all, he was originally a powerful vassal king, and he was even qualified to become an emperor, but now he may have to be cut, which is definitely uncomfortable.

"I actually understand that it is not easy for the two of you to lay this foundation. It's just that the early pain is better than the late pain, and if the time comes, if you really can't bear it, the three of us will make a fuss because of this, and it will not be good for anyone. It's better to spread out the conversation earlier, what is there to discuss. Liu Tao looked at the two, "Do you think I said that?" ”

"Then, according to Your Majesty's intentions, where shall we go?" Hearing this, Liu Dai was silent for a while, and finally raised his head and asked.

Liu Pet didn't speak, but also looked at Liu Tao silently, planning to listen to Liu Tao's reply first.
