Chapter 141. Dong Zhao

After Dong Zhuo's death, the old general Li Dao Guo Yan was in turmoil, which led to the fall of the Son of Heaven, and the princes of the world were all thinking about a question, whether to welcome the Son of Heaven or not?

The fastest move was Cao Cao, who, under the guidance of his advisers Xun Yu and Guo Jia, took the lead in sending troops to Mangdang Mountain, intending to plunder the Son of Heaven to order the princes.

Xun Yu's idea is very simple, as long as the Son of Heaven is in hand, the princes of the world are at the mercy of the edict, and if the court can be restored, the internal and external troubles can be solved.

But what made Xun Yu a headache was that Dong Cheng, the national war, colluded with Yuan Shu to cut the danger and guard the pass, and did not let Cao Cao's soldiers and horses enter the west.

Because this matter cannot be disclosed, and Xun Yu does not know martial arts, so only Cao Pi is accompanied by him, although Cao Pi is young, his martial arts cultivation is not worse than that of ordinary generals.

The two of them disguised themselves all the way through Chenggao Pass, passed through the ruins of Luoyang all the way to the west, and the roads along the way were difficult and dangerous, and finally arrived at Anyi County, where Emperor Han Xian was located, half a month later.

Anyi is homophonic and comfortable, how is it not a mockery of reality, the wreckage of broken arms everywhere, the fields are barren, so that the local people have fled to survive, and only the monarchs and ministers who depend on me for their lives are here.

"Li Dao Guo Yan is miserable!"

The two of them stopped their horses and stood outside the county, Cao Pi couldn't help but moisten his eyes, and said such a sentence casually.

Looking at the shocking vision, Xun Yu choked up a little, and he said: "Zihuan, when you go in for a while, you can't say that you are the son of the lord, you can only say that you are my accompanying scholar, the Son of Heaven is the same age as you, if you see the Son of Heaven, don't be rude, you must bow down with the courtier's courtesy, understand?" ”

Cao Pi did not hesitate at all, because he knew that in Xun Yu's heart, the Han Dynasty would always come first, and even now, he still did not admit that he was a minister of the Cao family, but only a courtier of the Liu family!

"Students remember, please rest assured!" Cao Pi bowed his head and said.

"Let's go, go in and have a look!"

The two men rode their horses and whips, and the sound of horses' hooves was bursting, and under the reflection of the sunset, they slowly walked into Anyi.

There is no palace here, and there is no so-called three palaces and six courtyards, and Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty is extremely desolate and lives in a courtyard.

Beside him are Queen Fu and Dong Guifei, civil and military officials squatting in the courtyard, only a few sparse soldiers laughing and looking around, without a bit of military demeanor.

It's sad every year, every year is over, and there is no home everywhere!

This may be the most realistic portrayal of Emperor Han Xian's life!

This whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's ministers, they all say so, but it is really to the point that the Son of Heaven has been wronged, and there is no one who comes to King Qin, even if someone comes, it must be for the name of the Son of Heaven and the majesty behind him.

There was no shelter in the whole of Anyi County, and everyone had to live in tents, just like refugees, and even some of them were old and infirm, unable to endure hunger and cold, and died halfway.

I'm a big man, where is the xing?

But even so, those ministers who were interested in the Han family still did not choose to leave, because they understood that no matter how incompetent the emperor was, he could endure hardships by his side, but it was always much better than following Li Dao Guo Yan.

What Xun Yu saw along the way was shocking, in the ruins of the wall, the ministers sighed, the only thing to eat was wild vegetables, the emperor was like this, what about a hundred officials?

He knew that it was useless to see these people now, and the person he was looking for was Dong Zhao!

After stepping on the dot for a whole day, Cao Pi finally found the courtyard where Dong Zhao lived at sunset, and in the dead of night this day, the two of them quietly went to visit.

"Dangdang!"

A terrifying knock sounded at the door.

Dong Zhao squinted under the moonlight and asked, "Who is it?" ”

Even if he hadn't seen Dong Zhao's face yet, Xun Yu still didn't forget to salute, and said cautiously: "Yingchuan Xun Yu, I'm here to meet Master Dong!" ”

Dong Zhao immediately sobered up, hurriedly ran to open the door, and when he saw that he was handsome, he was a little happy, and said with a smile: "Wen Ruo, why did you come here?" ”

It is said that Dong Zhao is elegant, it seems that it is indeed not a rumor, all the officials in these hundred officials are in rags, only he is neatly dressed, and he can't see a little down-and-out.

He is in his forties this year, but he has fair skin, good maintenance, and good facial features.

"I have something important to ask to see the general today!" Xun Yu said in a low voice.

Dong Zhao looked around, took his hand and said, "Come in, be careful that the wall has ears!" ”

It's all come to this point, even if the wall has ears, what's the matter?

Seeing that the old man came, Dong Zhao couldn't tell whether he was happy or unhappy, anyway, he couldn't show anything on his facial expression, he just sat on the ground, not too dirty, and asked in a low voice: "Say, what is the matter with visiting late at night?" ”

Xun Yu let out a long sigh and said, "Dong Cheng colluded with Yuan Shu to prevent my lord from coming to King Qin, is there any way for my lord?" ”

Dong Zhao secretly thought about it, in fact, he was originally from Yanzhou, so he had a very good impression of Cao Cao, who controlled Yanzhou, and he was honest, so Xun Yu came to him with great hopes.

But suddenly a prince came, which made Dong Zhao a little uncomfortable, he pondered for a long time, but still didn't agree quickly.

For this reaction, Xun Yu is not surprised, and he can't make people believe you as soon as they meet.

Hundreds of officials fell here, what is the most lacking, Xun Yu thought that no one was short of women, all they lacked was white steamed buns and a full meal, so Xun Yu deliberately provoked the conversation and said: "If there is no Yellow Turban Rebellion in the world, Lord Dong's life is definitely not like this, how is it now, life is very hard, right?" ”

Dong Zhao was like a dumb person eating coptis, and it took a long time to spit out a mouthful of turbidity and say: "The Son of Heaven is like this, how can we who are courtiers complain?" ”

This sentence was bitter, Xun Yu was a little moved, and simply said directly: "Lord Dong, you have also seen the actions of the princes in the world, except for my lord Cao Mengde, there is absolutely no second person to send troops to the king of Qin, Xun Yu dares to ask for help!" ”

Dong Zhao blinked, sighed and said, "You and this young man next to you are here, how can I believe you?" ”

"This is my lord's official statement, please take a look!" Xun Yu took out the watch seal from his arms and handed it to Dong Zhao, he took it with trembling hands, a little incredulous.

It's not enough to read it once, it's not enough to watch it again, it's not enough to watch it a third time, Dong Zhao watched it four or five times in a row, and then he twisted his beard and said: "Cao Mengde's expression is brilliant, first, it shows that God will not forget the emperor's grace; second, expound the conquest of the heavenly people; Third, be humble and decent, not arrogant... What Cao Mengde's heart desires! ”

Xun Yu knelt on the ground and said: "Please help, Xun Yu is grateful!" ”

Dong Zhao helped him up, sighed and said, "Where to start with this matter, let the old man think about it!" ”
