Chapter 125: Cao Cao borrowed troops

In the following days, Donglai entered a steady development, and all aspects entered an orderly and stable situation.

Donglai was settled, but the entire Han began to collapse.

In February, the Luoyang Fire South Palace was destroyed, and then Emperor Ling, under the instigation of the Ten Standing Servants, intensified his efforts to collect wealth from the world.

For this reason, both officials and ordinary people are complaining.

Soon spread to Yizhou, south to Jiaozhi, dozens of rebels in the Central Plains, the big ones had 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers, and the small ones were 6 or 7,000, and they began to attack the counties and counties, killing officials, and the momentum was huge, one after another, and the trend of burning the prairie was formed.

"Lord, these are not important, the problem in Liangzhou is the most serious." The rebels rebelled, and most of them were suppressed locally, so Guo Jia brought the latest information received by the 'Tianluo Net'.

Xu Dingdao: "The Qiang people in Liangzhou have rebelled again. ”

Guo Jiadao: "Not only that, since last year, Beigong Boyu, Li Wenhou, Han Sui, Bian Zhang and others have invaded Sanfu in the name of "crusading against eunuchs", and the imperial court has not made any progress in this regard. ”

looked at Xu Ding, and saw that Xu Ding's face was quite calm, so he continued: "Later, the imperial court pardoned Dong Zhuo, and according to Yuan Kui's suggestion, General Huangfu led the army to the left cavalry general, and awarded Dong Zhuo as the Zhonglang general, as a deputy, the two were not in harmony, the battle was lost, and General Huangfu is now deposed." ”

Hearing this, Xu Ding had some mood swings.

"Dong Zhuo came out again, and General Yizhen was trapped." Xu Ding spit out leisurely.

Guo Jia nodded, Dong Zhuo and Huangfu Song already had a disagreement, Yuan Kui deliberately let them together, one is disgusting.

The second is to restrict Huangfu Song's play, and at the same time monitor him.

Huangfu Song has a good relationship with Xu Ding, and Dong Zhuo was recruited as a Situ official when Yuan Kui was Situ, and he is considered to be Yuan Kui's subordinate and former official, so it is not surprising that there is a cat in this.

At the same time, this is also one of the reasons why after the death of Emperor Ling, Yuan Shao suggested to He Jin to recruit Dong Zhuo into Beijing.

Of course, it is ironic that Dong Zhuo later cut Yuan Kui.

This is called death.

"Then, my lord, should we meddle in the affairs of Liangzhou." Guo Jia asked.

Dong Zhuo and the Yuan family are both great enemies of Donglai, and it is inevitable that the enemy will have a hard time.

"No need, it's better not to jump into that quagmire, no matter who goes in, it will be difficult to jump out, it is estimated that now Yuan Kui and Dong Zhuo would like me to take the initiative to jump in." Xu Ding shook his head and said:

"What we need to do now in Donglai is to accumulate strength, go all out to the east, take the land of Sanhan, and expand the territory for the Han Dynasty."

Watching the changes in the world is the best choice and the wisest approach.

Xu Ding was so sober at this time, Guo Jia was very pleased.

Although Xu Ding didn't want to care about the war in Liangzhou, five days later, Huangfu Jiu arrived in Donglai.

Seeing Huangfu Jiu, Xu Ding didn't wait for him to open his mouth and said: "Ah Jiu is here, don't speak, I know your intention, go back and tell General Yizhen, I won't go to Liangzhou, it is not my Donglai's place of battle now, and you can tell him, let him rest assured, although the war in Liangzhou is erosive, it can't threaten Luoyang, so you can let the emperor relax and let the princes relax." ”

The last war in Liangzhou in history was a mess.

On the surface, it was a decent end, but in fact, in the end, Dong Zhuo, Han Sui and Ma Teng were fattened.

"My lord, there are people outside the mansion who call themselves Cao Hong and ask to meet." Lu Kuang came in and said.

"Oh, it's Zilian!" Xu Ding was a little strange, how did Cao Hong find Donglai.

So people were invited in.

After coming in for a while, Xu Ding said: "Zilian, why did you think of coming to Donglai to find me." ”

Cao Hong said: "Bokang, it was the eldest brother who asked me to come to you, and he asked me to come over to borrow soldiers." ”

Cao Cao asked you to come.

Wait, Xu Ding slapped his forehead and finally remembered.

When he was in Luoyang, he asked Cao Cao for his reward, saying that he would be appointed as the minister of Jinan.

At that time, Cao Cao said that he would borrow troops to suppress the local tyrants.

It turned out to be this, so he replied: "No problem, since Zilian is here, presumably Meng De has arrived in Jinan, and it just so happens that I have nothing to do, so I will go over together." ”

"Bokang past, that's really good, with Bokang pressing the formation, who dares to move." Cao Hong said with great joy.

I thought it would be good to be able to borrow soldiers and horses, but it turned out that Xu Ding wanted to go out in person, which was really face-saving.

Soon Xu Ding called Zhao Yun and pulled the captain of the Sixth Army to ride his horse to Jinan.

As expected, like Cao Cao, he was hindered by various obstacles as soon as he took office, and the power of the county was divided among the major families.

He is only a state minister, and there is only one showmanship left.

However, Cao Cao was very smart, and after he took office, under the guise of being a child of a family, he catered to everyone on the surface, and secretly began to investigate and sort out the military and political affairs of the county.

and secretly sent his younger brother Cao Hong to ask for foreign aid.

"Report! Your Excellency, there is a group of cavalry coming towards our Jinan Kingdom, and it seems that it is aimed at Dongping Ling City. "One of his men came and reported.

"Cavalry?" Cao Cao was a little surprised, and then asked, "From which direction did they come from?" ”

"The minister of state is from the direction of Qi country." The subordinate replied.

Qi country!

Cao Cao realized.

He sent Cao Hong to Donglai to borrow troops, and Donglai soldiers and horses wanted to come over, but they could only come from Qi State.

It's just that I haven't heard that Xu Ding has cavalry, could it be that Donglai has formed cavalry.

Soon the two lieutenants of the county also came over, and said at the same time: "Prime minister, there is an unknown army coming, I should close the city gate and prepare for war." ”

Cao Cao nodded and replied, "Okay!" Gather the soldiers and horses, and the generals will go up with me to the wall, and see who is causing the rebellion. ”

Everyone went down to gather soldiers and horses, and Cao Cao looked at the two county captains who went out, and slightly hooked the corners of his mouth.

Soon Cao Cao led everyone up to the city wall.

The cavalry rolled eastward, shaking the earth, and the fluttering banner was like a long knife that could cut at the head at any moment, murderous.

"Shhh What an ironclad knight. ”

The cavalry came from far and near, and the oppressive aura came to the face, making people feel a little frightened.

"Phew!" Soon the cavalry stopped.

"It's Brother Meng De in the city!"

The cavalry in front of Xu Ding urged the horse out.

"It turned out to be Bokang, I haven't seen Bokang for a long time." Cao Cao laughed heartily when he saw that it was Xu Ding, and then waved his hand and said, "Someone is here to open the city gate and welcome the Marquis of Weiyuan." ”

Hearing this, the two county governors around him hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, please slow down, I am afraid that it will be a fraud to come here, and please be cautious." ”

"Please be cautious." Others also persuaded him.

You must know that Xu Ding's reputation in the wealthy and powerful world of the family landlords is not good, and now he is coming with five thousand cavalry, where dare he let him in.

Seeing Cao Cao's hesitation, Jun Cheng said, "My lord, why don't you ask Xu Ding what happened to him?" ”

"Humph! All right! Cao Cao looked at Xu Ding, who was outside the city, and said, "Bokang, what are you doing here?" ”

Xu Dingdao: "Haha, Meng De, I heard that you came to Jinan to serve as the prime minister, and I came to congratulate you, why don't you invite me into the city." ”

Cao Cao said with a smile: "Bo Kang came to congratulate, how dare you refuse, come here, open the city gate." ”

Seeing that there was no reaction, Cao Cao said angrily: "What, do you want me to say it for the third time?" ”

The officer on duty under the cave of the city obediently opened the city gate.

Then Xu Ding rode his horse into the city, and the army also poured in.

Cao Cao got down from the city and said: "Go to Bokang, go to the mansion, let's have a drink today." ”

"Good! If you don't get drunk, you don't go home. Xu Ding replied.

Seeing that Xu Dingzhen had come to celebrate Cao Cao's appointment, the two county governors of Jinan State sighed with other officials.

Also, Xu Ding is just Donglai Taishou, and he can't control Jinan State.

What is there to be afraid of him.

I really scared myself.
