Chapter 211: Departure for Xuchang

Within a few days, the city of Luoyang suddenly spread the news that Lu Bu's army and Li Dao and Guo Yan's army were about to encircle Luoyang, originally Luoyang thought that this was just a rumor, but soon the spies reported that the two armies were really on the way, straight to Luoyang, Cao Cao led the princes, wanted to suppress the news, but still revealed it, and suddenly Luoyang was panicked, and the number of people who fled overnight was unknown.

Fortunately, Cao Cao killed the chickens and monkeys in time to dispose of a group of people, strengthened the garrison of the city gates, and barely stopped the escape of the people and gentry in the city.

But this matter has already alarmed Liu Xie, the son of heaven, and immediately sent an envoy to inquire about the matter.

Cao Ying.

In the main tent, only Cao Cao sat with the envoys sent by Liu Xie, the son of heaven.

Seeing that the people who came were clear-eyed, full of spirit, and quite rich, but there was no such malaise, Cao Cao felt a little strange in his heart, now it is a great famine, and the soldiers and civilians are hungry, how can this person be so normal.

"How do you condition your body to keep your face plump and colorful?" Cao Cao asked puzzled.

"There is no other way, the daily food is just plain."

The envoy replied to Cao Cao without any fluctuation, and then bowed and said: "Under Dong Gongren, now that the edict has come to inquire about the attack of the army, I hope to make a clear announcement." ”

"It turns out that Your Excellency is Dong Gongren, who has been famous for a long time, and when I see it today, it is really extraordinary."

Cao Cao sighed heartily, "Since Brother Gongren came in person, Cao Zi should know everything." ”

"False praise."

Dong Zhao didn't care too much about these false names, and asked in a low voice: "Is it true that the two armies are attacking?" ”

Cao Cao didn't say anything, just nodded solemnly and admitted the matter, something that was already well known, and Cao Cao couldn't cover it up anymore.

"Sure enough, there was no fluke."

Dong Zhao sighed in disappointment, bowed his head, and asked again after a long time: "What are Ming Gong's plans?" ”

"If there is only one side of Li Dao and Guo Yan, I will call them to come and go, but there is one more party, Lu Bu, who does not hide from Gongren, although this person is brave and unscrupulous, but his momentum is difficult to resist."

Although Cao Cao didn't want to admit his defeat, he now had to admit it, after all, this is a fact, in the past six months, he has fought with Lu Bu a lot, and it was basically a one-sided battle.

"It's a tricky one."

Although Dong Zhao had just arrived in Luoyang recently, he still had a certain understanding of Lu Bu, and then Dong Zhao's face sank, and he said in a condensed voice: "Has Ming Gong ever thought about leaving as soon as possible and moving the capital immediately." ”

"That's what I mean."

Cao Cao's face was happy, he didn't expect Dong Zhao to mention this matter, earlier Cao Cao mentioned moving the capital, although Liu Xie, the son of heaven, agreed to come down, but asked to stay in Luoyang for a while, which made Cao Cao sad, and now Dong Zhao mentioned it, naturally it is to Cao Cao's heart.

"But the Son of Heaven is gullible and has always postponed, and there is nothing I can do." Cao Cao pretended to sigh and said, his face full of helplessness.

This appearance fell in Dong Zhao's eyes, how could Dong Zhao not understand what Cao Cao meant, and immediately said: "Now that the army is about to come to the city, the Duke of Ming can write a book, unable to resist, and ask to move the capital, and when I return, I will advise the Son of Heaven to move the capital, and the matter of moving the capital can be done." ”

"It is a blessing to have a brother by the side of the Son of Heaven."

Cao Cao got up and bowed, "I'll leave this matter to Brother Gongren." ”

"Do your best."

Dong Zhao responded, and then said goodbye to Cao Cao and went back to report to the Son of Heaven.

After Dong Zhao left, Xun Yu and Cheng Yu came together, just now the two were outside the tent, and the conversation between Cao Cao and Dong Zhao had been heard clearly.

"Congratulations to the lord, congratulations to the lord, the capital will be moved to Xuchang in the near future, and the time to show your hands and feet is finally coming."

Xun Yu's face was happy, and he took the lead in hugging his fists and congratulating.

"It's all trifles."

Cao Cao was not too happy about this, after all, this was a sure thing, but it was a little ahead, and now there are other things to worry about, and then Cao Cao asked with a worried face: "Previously, Lu Bu took Guangling, and there was no intention of pursuing, why did he suddenly attack now, there must be something strange in it." ”

"The lord said."

Cheng Yu's eyes darkened, and he continued: "Among them, Xu Zisheng is making a stumbling block. ”

"Nine times out of ten."

Cao Cao frowned slightly, although he didn't want to admit this fact, he didn't deny it.

"If this is really the case, I'm afraid Xu Zisheng has another conspiracy." Xun Yu said with an uneasy face.

"Its ambition, I'm afraid it intends the world."

Cao Cao said this suddenly, which startled Xun Yu and Cheng Yu, but if you think about it carefully, it really means this.

"Now that the situation is unclear, the right to move the capital to Xuchang, withdraw from the matter, wait and see, and then make countermeasures." Cao Cao said in a deep voice.

"That's all it can be."

Xun Yu and Cheng Yu had no choice but to leave as soon as possible, and then talk about other things.

On the same day, Cao Cao submitted a document, according to the agreement, stating that the army was coming, the situation was critical, and he was powerless to resist, and requested to leave immediately and move the capital to Xuchang.

Soon Liu Xie, the Son of Heaven, issued an edict and agreed to this matter, Cao Cao naturally knew that this was the credit of Dong Zhao, and those ministers were facing a threat to their lives, and they no longer dared to stop this matter, after all, nothing was as important as their own lives.

In the palace, Liu Xie, the Son of Heaven, stood outside the hall, looking down on the entire Luoyang, but his heart was extremely lonely, Dong Zhao stood behind the Son of Heaven and didn't say anything.

"Gongren, if you obey Cao Mengde like this, sooner or later you will make him the next Dong Zhuo, don't you have the slightest worry?" Liu Xie, the Son of Heaven, asked.

"The world of the Han family is already like a book of ice, and it needs to have heroes like Cao Mengde to support the situation."

Dong Zhaosheng was afraid that the Liu Association would misunderstand him, so he hurriedly explained.

"Really?"

Liu Xie's eyes narrowed into a line, staring at Dong Zhao's eyes, Dong Zhao didn't dodge, just looked at Liu Xie directly, his eyes were slightly respectful.

"There is no credible person around me, Gongren, I hope you will live up to me."

Liu Xie, the son of heaven, had a gloomy look in his eyes, and looked up to the sky and said: "The Han family will fall, and I, Liu Xie, do not want to be a person who is overturned, so I can only find loyal and righteous people in the troubled times to help me rebuild the Han family." ”

"Gongren knows."

Dong Zhao took a step back and bowed deeply to Liu Xie.

"Stand down, get ready for the relocation of the capital."

"No."

Dong Zhao retreated, and Liu Xie, the son of heaven, looked at the boundless sky and was slightly distracted, not knowing what he was thinking.

In the afternoon, the army assembled outside the city, Cao Cao took his subordinates to the palace city, and invited the emperor Liu Xie and the ministers into the carriage.

Subsequently, Cao Cao stepped forward immediately, took his generals and strategists, came to the front of the army, waved his big hand, and shouted loudly: "Set off and move the capital to Xuchang." ”
