Chapter 31 Arriving at Yingchuan
Cao Cao's attack, in Gao Ye's opinion, will not be a problem at all. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Although Li Dao and Guo Yan have a lot of soldiers and horses, they have fought each other for so long, and it is reasonable to suffer heavy casualties. What's more, Yang Feng, Dong Cheng and Bai Bo Yellow Turban are not dry meals, they are consumed by them and Li and Guo, and when Cao Cao goes, they are already in a lose-lose situation. The snipe and the clam compete, and naturally Cao Cao, the fisherman, benefited.
As for the other princes, they don't need to think about it themselves. After all, Lu Bu had just occupied Xuzhou, the people's hearts were not stable, and he was far away from Yanzhou, even if he had the heart, he couldn't do anything. Since Huainan Yuan Shu heard that the emperor had fled in a hurry, he began to ask his subordinates about the possibility of claiming the emperor, how could a person like him put the emperor in his eyes? As for Liu Biao, now that Zhang Ji is wreaking havoc in his Jingzhou, he can't spare people to meet the Han Emperor at all. And Yuan Shao, the person who was most likely to compete with Cao Cao, gave up the favorable political factor of the emperor under the persuasion of Guo Tu and Chun Yuqiong.
In fact, in later generations, when everyone talks about this matter, they will praise Fu Zhu's foresight, after all, Fu Zhu has always persuaded Yuan Shao to welcome back the Han Emperor, and when the time comes, "coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and accumulate troops and horses to please the ministers", the world can be determined. Gao Ye in his previous life also felt that the suggestion of Frustration was really correct, after all, judging from the results of Cao Cao's return to the Han Emperor, blackmailing the Son of Heaven to order the princes was definitely a strategy that would make Cao Cao's regime benefit a lot. But after really reaching this era, let Gao Ye come to see the suggestion of Fu Zhu again, but found that the emperor was simply a chicken rib for Yuan Shao. The biggest difference between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao is Yuan Shao's life experience. With the background of the fourth and third dukes, he doesn't need to be like Cao Cao at all, and he also needs to rely on the Han Emperor to attract talents. The second is Yuan Shao's position, he is based in Sanzhou, Hebei, and now there is only one Gongsun Zan left who has not yet been pacified. Further west and north are the places where the Xiongnu, Xianbei and even the Qiang and Di people live together, does the emperor's arrival really help such a situation?
After Cao Cao welcomed the Han Emperor, the first thing he did was to sow discord between Lu Bu and Liu Bei, but was it really useful when the holy decree was issued? At this time, who in the world really cared about the holy decree. Moreover, the later Cao Cao also experienced the disadvantages of the emperor in Yanzhou, and the emperor, who was bent on seizing power, plotted against Cao Cao many times! Now that Yuan Shao, who is almost the best in the world, how can he endure such a thing? Just like Guo Tu and others said, now it is "Qin loses its deer, the king who wins first", put the emperor as a whole, obey the order will lose power, and if you do not obey, you will be charged with resisting the edict, Cao Cao has been scolded for nearly a thousand years, isn't it because he disrespects the emperor and does not obey the edict.
Cao Cao is now weak, and the advantages of welcoming back the Han Emperor outweigh the disadvantages. Yuan Shao now has the momentum to win the world, and the Han Emperor was really welcomed back to Yecheng by him, what use can he have except for constraints everywhere? Like this, he can only drag down his own big burden, how can Yuan Shao be willing to carry it? Therefore, for Yuan Shao, the advice of the frustrated professor is tasteless, and it is not a pity to abandon it, so Yuan Shao did not choose to follow the advice of the frustrated professor, and it is by no means unreasonable.
Now that Cao Cao has been away for nearly two months, according to his footsteps, he should have arrived in Luoyang and repelled Li Dao and Guo Yan. I don't know how long it will take to bring Liu Xie back to Yingchuan. Today's Gao Ye can be said to be idle, handing over the responsibility of rebuilding the Taishou Mansion to Xun Yu, the responsibility of collecting intelligence from all parties to Guo Jia, and Yingyin's government affairs are handed over to Cheng Yu. The longest thing I did every day was either to accompany Cai Yan, or to walk around the city, and by the way, ask how the people's lives were. This made Cheng Yu, who was busy every day, couldn't help but scold Gao Ye for not doing his job, and after accepting the old man's criticism for an hour, Gao Ye was reluctant to take charge of Yingyin.
Speaking of which, Yingyin now needs to be too decisive There are too few things, and the most important point of Gao Ye's governance here for nearly ten years is the refinement of official positions and the clear division of labor among various departments. In this way, there are not many government affairs that can really be sent to Gao Ye, so Cheng Yu will not be very busy every day when he sits in this position. He just couldn't get used to Gao Ye being so lazy, so he found an opportunity to educate Gao Ye well.
However, Cao Chun, who followed Cao Cao to Luoyang, came back at this time, and things were different. "Lord Qiqi, now Your Majesty and the Lord have arrived thirty miles outside the city."
"Oh." Gao Ye nodded when he heard this, "It seems that the lord is going well this time." Wen Ruo, now His Majesty is only thirty miles away from Yingyin, time is pressing, you know, I don't know anything about this kind of thing, and I rely on Wen Ruo. Gao Ye smiled, and then threw the burden directly on Xun Yu's body.
Xun Yu also smiled bitterly when he heard this, and then took the order. After all, it is a big thing to welcome the driver, and there is no room for half a point of rudeness. Let Gao Ye do this, don't say that he doesn't have confidence in himself, even he doesn't have confidence in him. Gao Ye ignored Xun Yu, who hurriedly went to prepare, and instead pulled Cao Chun and asked him to tell him what he had seen and heard about his westward march to Luoyang.
"Mingxi, don't you know...... "Just now on official affairs, everyone naturally wants to be commensurate with their official positions, and now when it comes to private affairs, the relationship between Cao Chun and Gao Ye is also quite close, so Mingxi is not unfamiliar." Before the army arrived in Luoyang, we met His Majesty's carriage first. Don't you know that miserable at that time, only His Majesty had a broken car, and the hundreds of officials and ministers followed one by one on foot, unkempt, how could there be a pampered appearance in the court. Yuan Rang first asked everyone to meet His Majesty, and then Zilian and they also led the army to come, and they were meeting the soldiers and horses of Li Dao and Guo Yan. ā
"Oh, in this way, this white wave yellow scarf should have been defeated by Li and Guo?"
"Exactly, later Yuan Rang and Zilian defeated Li and Guo Er, and welcomed His Majesty to return to Luoyang temporarily. Later, you know that after the lord met His Majesty in Luoyang, he was rewarded by His Majesty on the spot as the captain of the school. When His Majesty settles down in Yingchuan, I estimate that everyone will be promoted. ā
"I heard from the sun that Yang Feng has another general, named Xu Huang, and his face is Gongming, how about it, you can see this person this time?" Gao Ye asked with a smile, that is Xu Huang, one of Cao Wei's five good generals, not only has great achievements, but also fought with Guan Yu in Fancheng in history, and he was stunned to help Cao Ren and drag him to Dongwu to attack Jingzhou. Xu Huang, who finally died of illness in the official history, was actually killed by Meng Da with an arrow in his later years in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and the dignified Xu Gongming actually died so badly under Luo Guanzhong's pen! After Gao Ye watched it, how could he not be congested?
Cao Chun smiled when he heard this: "This Xu Huang really has some ability, and he can fight with Xu Chu for thirty rounds, regardless of victory or defeat." Thanks to Man Boning, he went to persuade him to surrender alone, and Yang Feng conspired to take away His Majesty's holy drive and was eliminated by the lord. Therefore, that Xu Huang has now surrendered, Mingxi wants to see him, and when His Majesty enters the city, I will introduce you to him. By the way, the lord also accepted a strategist this time, what is Dong Zhao's, anyway, the lord has a very high evaluation of this person, saying that he is not under Xun You and Cheng Yu, and he is very happy......
Gao Ye listened to Cao Chun's chattering introduction, and nodded frequently. Today's Cao Cao not only won the Han Emperor, but also got the help of Dong Zhao and Xu Huang. Although he doesn't remember when Dong Zhao followed Cao Cao, Gao Ye has also heard of Dong Zhao's talent. After all, in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", if you can be biography with Guo Jia and others, you can know this person's intelligence and how much he contributed to Cao Cao's hegemony.
But these are not the point now, and finally when Cao Cao and Liu Xie were only five miles away from Yingchuan, Xun Yu sent someone to urge Gao Ye to rush to the west gate immediately and come to pick up the car. After all, nominally Gao Ye is still Yingchuan Taishou, and how can he do without Gao Ye to take over such a big event.
Seeing Cao Cao from afar, a sense of pride arose in his heart. Although Yingyin is under the construction of Gao Ye, it has today's majesty. But now that Yingyin is his own place of governance after all, as long as he looks at the surprised faces of Liu Xiehe and the courtiers, and the jaws that almost fall to the ground, Cao Cao's smile has never disappeared from his face.
"Cao Aiqing, is this Yingyin City?" Liu Xie is a teenager after all, although he is sixteen years old, but in the past days, he was either imprisoned in the palace by Dong Zhuo, or imprisoned in the inner courtyard by Li Dao and Guo Yan. Even fleeing all the way is even more hungry. From Chang'an to Luoyang, it is even more depressed and dilapidated. Now seeing that the Yingyin City where he is going to live is so majestic, even Liu Xie can't help but be a little excited in his heart. Although Luoyang is the imperial capital, it is far from Yingyin, so Liu Xie has a lot of expectations for this city in his heart.
Especially when he saw Yingchuan Wenwu coming to pick up the driver, Liu Xie's heart was even more joyful. Thinking that he was under Dong Zhuo, Li, and Guo back then, he was in danger, how could he have been treated like this! This Cao Mengde is really my Han Zhongliang! But the people were here, and I must not lose my royal prestige, so I sat in the carriage and did not talk to anyone around me.
As the frame slowly entered, Gao Ye and all the officials in Yingyin City bowed down. After Liu Xie's carriage entered, it was Cao Cao and a group of ministers, and finally the soldiers and horses led by Xiahoudun and others. Liu Xie, who was tired of carriages and horses, had already gone to bathe and rest with the help of the maid. The ministers also returned to the mansion arranged by Xun Yu for them and slept unconscious.
For three days in a row, Liu Xie did not go to court. It was not until the fourth day that the civil and military officials were officially summoned in the palace. may be because of the restful sleep that he slept for three days in a row, coupled with the delicious food, Liu Xie, who was still a little wilted, is now full of energy. In the face of the civil and military officials of the previous dynasty, he even preached loudly in his immature voice: "Today, I was able to escape from the hands of Li and Guo and the two thieves, thanks to the dedication of the hundred officials, and Cao Aiqing's life. I have deep respect for it. Special worship Cao Aiqing is the commonplace, the Marquis of Wuping, and the general of the cavalry. ā
"Minister Cao Cao, thank you Your Majesty Longen!"
