Chapter 528 Cao Mengde proposes to move the capital
Yan Yan and Wu Ban led the troops to finally capture Anyi, and as for the entire Hedong, they naturally took it smoothly after that.
As for Ma Chao, who is still in Hongnong, after he heard the news from Yan Yan and them, he was naturally very satisfied. However, he didn't let Yan Yan and them make any more moves, just let them stay put, let the army rest well, and as for the rest, they didn't have to worry about it for the time being.
In fact, for Ma Chao, Si Li is now left with Hanoi County in the northeast and Henan Yin in the southeast. However, Ma Chao really didn't worry much about this, because for him, these two places are in his pocket sooner or later, and it is nothing more than a matter of time before they come into his hands.
Yan Yan They can rest temporarily, but it is time for them to lead their troops out of the horse, before Tanma came the movement of Li Dao and Yang Feng to fight, and Cao Cao had already arrived in Luoyang before, so Ma Chao knew that it was time for him to lead his troops into Henan to go around. I want my own territory, and I don't want anything else, so it's easy to say if you're smart, but if you want to hinder your own people, then whoever you want to fight, who is afraid of whom.
So in this way, Ma Chao left only Huang Quan and 3,000 men and horses, while he and Li Hui took the remaining less than 30,000 men and horses to Henan Yin. At this time, he didn't know that Li Dao and Guo Yan had already been killed by Xiahou Yuan. Of course, he will find out the news in a few days. However, knowing that this had no impact on Ma Chao's planning, on the contrary, Xiahou Yuan could be regarded as clearing some obstacles for him, after all, Li Dao and Guo Yan are not good cakes, in fact, they should have died a long time ago-
After Xiahou Yuan's army rested for more than a day, he led his troops back to Luoyang, preparing to go back to his main bus errand. And he had already cut off the heads of Li Dao and Guo Yan and installed them. It was placed in a box. He knows the Tao, and this is his great achievement. Not only did his main guild reward him, but the two people the emperor hated the most now had already been killed by himself, so he also had to reward himself. Of course, Xiahou Yuan didn't care about any rewards, but in front of other generals, he made great contributions, which was a particularly face-saving thing. In this life, don't you just fight for such a face?
And the first to return to Luoyang were naturally Cao Cao and Liu Xie. These few days can be said to be the best days Liu Xie has had over the years. Cao Cao was really interesting to him, and gave him all the delicious and good things, compared with Li Ji and them, Liu Xie's life was really a world of difference. And Liu Xie also knows that he often praises Cao Cao. What kind of Han pillar is it, the mainstay. These compliments are not to be said like money. At the very least, it's really worthless. And the emperor's mental trick, Liu Xie naturally understands this.
But what kind of person is Cao Cao, he is no longer the young man he was at the beginning, or Cao Mengde, who is dedicated to being a big man. So he naturally won't be dizzy by Liu Xie, and he can't find the north. He was awake all the time, if it was probably when he was still young. Liu Xie's words now, these actions can still be of some use to him, but for Cao Cao, who has gradually entered the traitorous male, it is really useless. If it works. Then it's not him Cao Mengde.
Cao Cao escorted Liu Xie to Luoyang, but the palace in Luoyang had already been destroyed, so there was no way, he could only let Liu Xie live in his own place, and then go to discuss something else-
On the second day, Cao Cao specially came to see Liu Xie, "The minister has seen His Majesty!" ”
"Aiqing, sit down!"
"Your Majesty!"
After sitting down, Cao Cao said to Liu Xie: "Your Majesty has also seen it now, at this time, Luoyang City is dilapidated and uninhabitable, so can Your Majesty move the capital elsewhere?" ”
If you want to say that with Liu Xie's idea, he really doesn't want to leave Luoyang anymore, but now Luoyang is indeed true, even the palace has been destroyed indecently, so where do you live. And there are a lot of eunuchs and palace maids, don't they all have to live in the palace? But now he doesn't even have a place to live, and he is really helpless about it, he wants Cao Cao to rebuild a palace for him, but this matter is ......
So Liu Xie could only ask helplessly: "I don't know what Aiqing thinks about this?" ”
He could feel that Cao Cao should have come prepared, so if he said that he had no idea, he didn't believe it.
Cao Cao smiled when he heard this, and really said: "Your Majesty, although Luoyang is now dilapidated and can no longer be the capital, but Your Majesty can move the capital elsewhere, Yingchuan Xu County, and the minister thinks it is suitable for the capital!" ”
When Liu Xie heard it, this Yingchuan Xu County, why haven't you heard of it yourself, can that place be compared to Luoyang, the eastern capital, and Chang'an, the western capital? Yingchuan is not ignorant of his ways, but isn't that the place where the Yellow Turban traitors were rampant before, and the county seat in that place can be the capital of the Han Dynasty?
If Ma Chao knew what Liu Xie thought in his heart, he would definitely despise him. Because judging from Ma Chao's thoughts, now even this big man is not your Liu Xie's decision, what are you talking about the capital, it's useless to talk about it, it's really better to listen to Cao Cao's words directly, at least you listen to him, you can have no worries about food and clothing, but it's much better than Li Dao at that time.
And Cao Cao could see that Liu Xie's doubts were coming, so at this time he said: "Your Majesty, now Luoyang is really not suitable to be the capital anymore, so moving the capital to Xu County is a top priority!" Your Majesty, please rest assured, Your Majesty will move the capital to Xu County, and the ministers will definitely build the capital for Your Majesty, so that Your Majesty will not suffer again! ”
When Liu Xie heard this, he said in his heart that since you can build Xu County, then why can't you repair Luoyang. But he thought about it again, he understood that Xu County must not be compared with Luoyang, how big is the palace in Luoyang, and Xu County must not be compared, so the construction of the palace in Luoyang must be much larger than that of Xu County, so this means that it must cost more money, food and materials, more manpower and time.
And Liu Xie, he thought of this. He wasn't going to say more, he knew the truth, and Cao Cao would never let himself be in Luoyang.
In fact, although Liu Xie considered a lot of things, it could only be regarded as a few small aspects of Cao Cao's proposal to move the capital. From Cao Cao's point of view, it can be said that he had to move the capital, and he had to do so, which was a great benefit to him, the advantages outweighed the disadvantages, the benefits were many, many, and the disadvantages were very few. In short, that's it.
Liu Xie said to Cao Cao helplessly: "Then according to what Aiqing said, move the capital to Xu County." ”
Even at this time, Liu Xie was reluctant, but "people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads". Liu Xie, he passed by Dong Zhuo, and then there were Li Dao and Guo Yan. Until now. He's experienced. Looking at it now, he Cao Mengde is also going to develop in Quanchen, and he seems to be a tiger's mouth, but now he is like a wolf's den-
Just when Cao Cao and Liu Xie were discussing the relocation of the capital, that night, Yang Feng, Dong Cheng and Li Le secretly gathered together. As for why the five of them got together again. Naturally, it was because Cao Cao was here to welcome Liu Xie, which made them all feel the crisis.
Yang Feng and they followed, and on the evening of the second day after Cao Cao and Liu Xie returned to Luoyang, they returned with the remnants of the defeated army. They are disgraced. Although the soldiers of the Yanzhou Army did not directly laugh at them on the surface, Yang Feng and the others knew that the soldiers of the Yanzhou Army behind them were not necessarily laughing at their own people. But what else can it do, the so-called general of the defeated army, what else can it be?
And after these people met, Yang Feng spoke first, only to hear him say: "Now Cao Cao is powerful, but we are born and die with the troops, but it seems that now, sure enough, the benefits are all given to him!" ”
Li Le and the others couldn't help nodding, they thought it was true, you said that the three of them came to help Emperor Han for this benefit, but now they have got a little benefit. used to be working hard with Li Dao and them, but now, didn't he take all the credit.
Only Dong Cheng is not the same as what they think, in fact, Dong Zhuo is the most loyal to Liu Xie among them, and Yang Feng and the four of them can't compare. And Yang Feng and they knew that Lu Dao thought about himself and helped the emperor, it was just for himself to get bigger and more benefits, although Dong Cheng was also like this, but his loyalty was enough, and his sister was married to Liu Xie, and he and Liu Xie still had such a relationship.
Why is Dong Cheng different from what they think, that is, because he has always believed that Yang Feng, Li Le, Han Xian and Hu Cai are all born as white wave thieves, even if he Yang Feng has been taking refuge in the imperial court for several years, but Dong Cheng feels that some of his thief nature has not changed, and he can see these things from his usual words and deeds. As for Li Le, let alone them, they are all thieves.
And along the way, Yang Feng was still good, but Li Le and the others ran all the way, basically robbing all the way. So in Dong Cheng's eyes, is this what the imperial court's army should do, and only thieves can do it. The key is from Dong Cheng's point of view, since Li Le and the others have accepted the appointment of the imperial court, they have long been officials in the court, so if they do what they did when they were thieves, it will not only affect them, but also affect His Majesty, so Dong Cheng has a lot of dissatisfaction in his heart.
But he didn't have anything to do at all, because Li Le and the others were too powerful, and it was estimated that Yang Feng was also on their side, so Dong Cheng could only endure it and hold it all in his heart. I didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction in front of Yang Feng and Li Le. Therefore, Dong Cheng's performance all the way was indeed not only deceived by Li Le and them, but even Yang Feng was the same, and at this time, Yang Feng and they still regarded Dong Cheng as their own person.
Of course, Yang Feng's thoughts are not difficult to understand, after all, compared to Cao Cao, they naturally think that Dong Cheng is on their side, and they can't be Cao Cao's side. It's a pity that they don't know what to say, although Dong Cheng is not from Cao Cao's side, he is definitely not from your Yang Feng's side, he is the emperor's henchman. (To be continued......)
