"What? Luoyang has taken it! Could it be that Wei Yan succeeded? Adou asked in surprise. []

"Your Majesty. General Wei Yan has sent someone back, and he is outside! Luoyang Cheng Wu surrendered, and Guo Huai was also captured! Guan Ping already seemed a little incoherent.

"What a Wei Yan! With 500 people, you can take Luoyang! Adou sincerely admired Wei Yan in his heart.

Daring to lead 500 people to attack Luoyang seems somewhat arrogant, but I didn't expect that this Luoyang City was really captured.

After a burst of ecstasy, Adou slowly calmed down.

Luoyang was captured, and all the territory south of the Yellow River in Sili fell into the hands of Adou, but there were still Hanoi County, Hedong County and Pingyang County to the north of the Yellow River, which belonged to Sili. However, these three counties are still in the hands of Wei.

Adou really wanted to lead the troops to eat the land of the three counties on their backs, but as the weather gradually warmed, the water of the Yellow River had thawed early in the morning, and if he wanted to cross the Yellow River, he needed to cross the Yellow River by boat, and Si Li's was under the control of the Cao army before, and the few sailors on the Yellow River were also under the control of the Cao army.

In a battle to cross the river, the defending side has a huge advantage, and they can already hit the enemy half-crossing, so they are not fully prepared. Adou was not prepared to cross the river to attack the north of the Yellow River.

At the same time, due to the capture of Luoyang, Chang'an has become safe, Wuguan and Tongguan are all in the hands of Adou, plus Xiaoguan in the north, Chang'an has become as safe as an iron bucket.

Out of Wuguan is Nanyang, which should already belong to the sphere of influence of Eastern Wu, so if the Han army wants to continue to expand, it can only rely on Luoyang as the fulcrum to attack. From Luoyang to the north, you can attack into Zhao and conquer the state; To the east out of the Tiger Prison is Chen Liu; And to the south can attack Yingchuan, and the Han army has many options for attacking.

However, this also means that Luoyang is surrounded by enemies on three sides, and in addition to the west, the Wei army can attack from the other three sides and form a siege on Luoyang.

At that time, Dong Zhuo commanded hundreds of thousands of Liangzhou iron cavalry, and the princes of the Eighteenth Route were not united, but in the end, Dong Zhuo was still defeated. And now, although Wei has been defeated and retreated, but with the vast Central Plains region, Wei has a strong resilience, give Wei two or three years, Wei will not be as embarrassed as now, and if Wei is given five to seven years, Wei may really have the power of counterattack.

Once Cao Wei reversed. Luoyang, which is surrounded by enemies on three sides, will be the best place to attack, so before that, Adou must run Luoyang like an iron bucket.

"Zhang Wei, go and prepare a fast horse, I will rush to Luoyang immediately." Adou paused in his voice, and then said: "Also, let Mrs. Pang also go to Luoyang to see me." ”

……

Luoyang.

In the lobby of the Northern Lieutenant of Luoyang, there are two rows of five-color killing sticks.

This five-color killing rod is a major feature of the Luoyang North Commandery, when Cao Cao was the first official, he became the Luoyang North Captain, and this five-color killing rod was established by Cao Cao at that time. Later, Luoyang was burned by Dong Zhuo, and then after Cao Cao occupied Luoyang from the new era, he began to rebuild the work, and the officials responsible for rebuilding Luoyang at that time in order to curry favor with Cao Cao, they built a new place where the northern governor of Luoyang was located, and also specially built a five-color killing rod and placed it here.

After all, the five-color killing rod was made by Cao Cao back then, and later after Cao Pi ascended the throne, Cao Cao was posthumously named Taizu, the rules set by Taizu. Naturally, it is necessary to abide by it, so this five-color killing rod has been retained until now, but none of the lieutenants of Luoyang North dare to use this five-color killing stick, after all, it is something that Cao Cao has used, if it is used without permission, it is a big crime of disrespect. Nowadays, the symbolic meaning of this five-color killing rod has more than the actual meaning.

Adou picked up a killing stick and looked at it carefully, and at the same time couldn't help but think of Cao Cao and the old man's voice and smile.

For Cao Cao, Adou can't talk about hatred, on the contrary, Adou still has a trace of gratitude to Cao Cao. The generation of traitors mentioned by later generations is actually not annoying, and Adou can even feel Cao Cao's personality charm.

Back then, Adou had a lot of contact with Cao Cao, and felt the true side of Cao Cao, but at that time, Adou didn't know Cao Cao, and now, Adou has been a generation of emperors, standing in this Luoyang City, recalling some things with Cao Cao back then, Adou finally realized a little bit of what Cao Cao was in when he was in a mood.

"It's cold in the heights!" Adou sighed slightly. Cao Cao's sentence "The heroes of the world, only the king and Cao'er" explain the loneliness of standing at the highest place. At this time, Adou also faintly felt this loneliness.

"Cao Cao! Cao Cao! Do you think it's a pity why I wasn't born a few years earlier? Adou muttered to himself. Then I remembered that Cao Cao taught "Mengde's New Book" to himself, but now this "Mengde's New Book" was burned because of Zhang Song.

"Cao Cao, count it out, I'm also your disciple! Your "Mengde's New Book" is indeed a classic of soldiers, and it is not inferior to "The Art of War". But alas, you didn't get him to pass it on! I recall that the people who learned the "New Book of Mengde" were just me and your three sons. Now that your three sons are dead, I am the only one in the world who has inherited what you have learned all your life. ”

Adou smiled at the five-color killing stick in his hand, and suddenly remembered this "Mengde's New Book", and Zhang Song also memorized it backwards back then. And Xu Shu is responsible for teaching himself, and he also has a study of "Mengde's New Book", and Adou claims to be the only heir of Cao Cao, which is a bit too big.

Adou gently touched the killing rod in his hand, his eyes showed a trace of reluctance, and then said softly: "Cao Cao, no matter what, you and I can be regarded as having a teacher-student friendship, no matter what your position is, your "Mengde New Book" has always been learned by me. If I am a horse in the Central Plains one day, he will step on it. I will definitely protect your Cao family's bloodline......"

Adou said, raised his head, and asked Zhang Wei behind him: "Near Luoyang, there should be Cao Cao's tomb!" ”

"Your Majesty, Cao Cao ordered the establishment of seventy-two doubtful graves before his death, and there happens to be one near Luoyang." Zhang Wei replied immediately.

"Okay, follow me to worship Cao Cao in a while. Let's go, let's go see Guo Huai first......"

"Yes!" Zhang Wei said and looked carefully at the killing rod that Adou was holding just now.

"It's nothing special, it's just a stick, why did Your Majesty say so much to this stick?"

……

Guo Huai. Now he is locked in the dungeon of the Northern Governor's Mansion in Luoyang.

When Luoyang was rebuilt, because of Cao Cao, the scale of the Northern Governor's Mansion was the largest, and of course this dungeon was also the strongest. Now it is used to imprison Guo Huai.

Guo Huai's martial arts are also good, but he is locked in a dungeon, with chains wrapped around his feet, and layers of guards, so he doesn't have the ability to run.

"Your Majesty, it's just ahead." The cell boss said respectfully.

"Alright, give me the key, I'll go and see for myself." Adou said.

"Your Majesty, this Guo Huai is strong in martial arts, for the sake of Your Majesty's safety, it's better not to approach."

"It's okay, just one Guo Huai, I don't care about it yet, you can wait here." Adou snatched the key with one hand and walked forward.

The sound of footsteps came, Guo Huai looked up and saw a man in a fancy costume coming.

"Hey......" Guo Huai was slightly stunned, although the dungeon was dimly lit, Guo Huai still could tell clearly, it was a young man, about twenty years old, dressed in gorgeous clothes.

Since he was locked up in the dungeon, all Guo Huai has seen is a soldier except for the jailer. Moreover, Wei Yan had already instructed the jailers to keep Guo Huai alone, so there was not a single prisoner in the cells around Guo Huai. Now, a young man in Chinese clothes came over, which really surprised Guo Huai.

The young man came to Guo Huai's prison door, looked at Guo Huai, and then reached out and took out the key, opened Guo Huai's prison door, and walked straight in.

Guo Huai's eyes lit up, on weekdays, those jailers delivered food through iron railings, and they were afraid that Guo Huai would escape. Now this young man dared to open the prison door. This is a good opportunity for Guo Huai to escape from prison.

However, Guo Huai did not move, but cautiously looked at the young man in front of him, Guo Huai knew that since the other party was able to enter this dungeon, he was definitely not an ordinary person, and seeing that this young man was so fearless, he must not be afraid of escaping from prison.

"Well, this person is so familiar!" Guo Huai suddenly appeared, and the young man in Chinese clothes in front of him seemed to have seen it somewhere.

Guo Huai did see Adou before, but what he saw was not a real person, but a portrait. When Adou made trouble in Runan, Cao Jun posted Adou's wanted notices all over the world, and Guo Huai had also seen it at that time. It's just that the portrait is not as good as the real person image after all, and after so many years, Guo Huai has long forgotten the wanted warrant back then. So Guo Huai just felt that the person who came was familiar, and he didn't recognize who this person was.

"Who are you and what are you here for?" Guo Huai asked.

"Oh, I'm here to persuade you to surrender." Adou looked at Guo Huai, and then said, "How about it, do you surrender or not?" ”

Guo Huai was slightly stunned, but this young man simply explained his intentions.

"Want me to surrender? Daydreaming? Guo Huai said categorically.

"Then I ask you, why don't you come down?" Adou asked with a smile.

"How can I, Guo Huai, be that kind of disloyal!"

"In my opinion, you Guo Huai is a disloyal."

"What do you say? Hahaha, you say I'm Guo Huai unfaithful? Joke! ”

"Don't laugh yet, let me ask you, your father's name is Guo Yi?"

"Yes, my father is Guo Yi!"

"Guo Yi was the Yanmen Taishou of the Han Dynasty back then?" Adou then asked.

"Ask ...... if you know"

"That's right, your father is an official of the Han Dynasty, how did you become an official of the Wei State? If you are a loyal minister, why don't you become an official of the Great Han? ”

"Uh, this ......" Guo Huai was immediately speechless when he was asked by Adou.

"Guo Huai, if I'm not mistaken, you are the filial piety of Jian'an Zhongju, and later the Pingyuan Mansion." Adou asked again.

"Yes and what!"

"Jian'an! That is the era name of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. So when you were an official, you were still Hanchen! ”

"Hmph, needless to say, the Han Dynasty is dead, and Emperor Han Xian is not an emperor anymore. Naturally, I can't be a Hanchen anymore. ”

"The Great Han is dead? So what is Chang'an doing on the dragon chair now? And according to you, you should be a minister of the dead country! Adou asked.

"Chang'an? Chang'an's Liu Jiazi is a traitor! Guo Huai argued.

"A traitor? What is a traitor? What did you do as a thief? Is it a plot to usurp the throne? A Dou's eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness, and his momentum increased by three points.

"Since ancient times, the throne has been passed down one by one, fathers can be passed on to sons and nephews, brothers, uncles and relatives, but it has never been passed on to people with foreign surnames, and those with foreign surnames are emperors, that is, usurpers, Wang Mangzhi said even so. When Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was forced to abdicate, it was the emperor's uncle who inherited the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty, why not? What a traitor! On the other hand, Cao Pi is more like a traitor! ”

"This ......" Guo Huai was speechless when asked again. What this young man said, although Guo Huai didn't like to listen to it, it was reasonable. The inheritance of the throne has been passed down from place to place, all of which are transferred between same-sex relatives, and Cao Pi has indeed usurped the Han dynasty.

What's more important is that Guo Huai's father Guo Yi is a Hanchen, and when Guo Huai was an official, he was also a Hanchen.

Guo Huai thought for a long time, blushed, and finally said: "The emperor of the Han Dynasty is incompetent, causing chaos in the world, and the people are not happy. ”

"Hehehe, Cao Pi is wise? Yes, Cao Pi is very wise, he lost Yongliang Erzhou just after he ascended the throne, and he lost Huainan before he died! How many years has Cao Pi been on the throne? Lost so many places? I remember that Cao Cao conquered Yongliang Erzhou and Huainan back then, and it took a lot of time! Cao Pi's degree of defeat is three points faster than Cao Cao's fight against the world! ”

"It's just a trick for you to wait for the villain to succeed for a while. My Lord will surely take it back one day. Guo Huai's voice was a little quieter, and it was obvious that Guo Huai had no confidence in this.

Guo Huai's unconfident words made Adou feel that Guo Huai's confidence had been shaken.

"Okay Guo Huai, I don't have to talk about it, as long as you are willing to surrender, what the Cao family can give you, I can also give you. What the Cao family can't give you, I can also give you. ”

"Are you Liu Chan?" Guo Huai suddenly exclaimed.

"Not bad."

"Drink ......" As soon as Adou's words fell, Guo Huai suddenly burst out, and his hands stretched out directly to Adou's throat.

Adou on the opposite side didn't seem to react at all, just a blink of an eye, Guo Huai's hands were clasped around Adou's neck.

"Hehehe, now, your life is in my hands! Believe it or not, if I push hard, I can break your neck! Guo Huai's face showed a hint of hideousness.

"Really? I don't believe it. A smile appeared on Adou's face, and then, I saw Adou slowly put away his hand. At this time, Guo Huai appeared, and Adou's fingers were just on his shoulder.

"So quick, when did he reach for it?" A hint of horror flashed in Guo Huai's eyes, but then Guo Huai immediately settled down, after all, Adou's life was still in his hands.

"Boy, give you some color." Guo Huai smiled hideously, and then slammed it hard, but then Guo Huai showed that no matter how hard he tried, the hand stuck on Adou's neck would not move a bit.

"What's going on. I couldn't use any force in my arm, no, I was completely unconscious. Guo Huai's surprised eyes just fell into Adou's eyes.
