Chapter 763: Is the Cao Mansion Still Around?

"My father-in-law, Liu Yi, also said that since the appearance of the red-clothed cannon, a new type of weapon that bombarded Chen Liucheng that day, all the city corridors in the world have lost their meaning. From now on, our Chinese towns no longer need city walls, the city walls of the original city towns are only used for landscape, and there is no need to repair the city with labor and money. In addition, even the Great Wall built by Emperor Qin and connected to each other, after we now unify the Han Dynasty and the alien races outside the Guanwai, the Great Wall of Ten Thousand Miles, which was originally designed to defend against the invasion of our Han Dynasty, I am afraid that it will also lose its basic meaning and function. However, the lord said that the Great Wall, majestic and magnificent, although it may lose its historical role and significance in the future, but now it still has a certain significance, in the future, the Great Wall will become a symbol of our Chinese Han people, a symbol of our miracle. Therefore, our imperial court has begun to discuss the need to legislate to completely protect the Great Wall. In the future, it will be the most magnificent landscape of our Han Dynasty. With an extremely proud look, Yan Liang told Cao Cao about the city wall and the Great Wall.

When Cao Cao heard Yan Liang's words, he was immediately speechless.

At the same time, it also made Cao Cao's heart fluctuate, and a kind of thought that he was far inferior to Liu Yi grew from the bottom of his heart.

To be honest, Cao Cao came all the way from Chen Liucheng to Luoyang, and he did have a lot of thoughts in his heart, and I don't know how many times he was deeply touched by the sights and things he saw. It can be said that Cao Cao has crossed all the way from mixed feelings.

If you don't say anything, let's talk about the city, and the reason why you say the city is because there is a ring of walls. With the city walls, it seems that the people living in the city can have a sense of security. Dynasties and dynasties. The establishment of a country or the establishment of a county in Chengdu and so on, the first thing to do is the top priority. I'm afraid it's just building a city and repairing the city walls. But now, according to what Liu Yi said, in the future, these Great Walls and walls of Wancheng, which protect a country, defend a city, and give the people of a country a sense of security, I am afraid that they will really lose their unique role.

Even Jiancheng has lost its effect, so even if he fights against Liu Yi again, even if he lets himself escape here with his own people, why should he be an enemy of Liu Yi? Not to mention that now the whole world has been occupied and controlled by the New Han Army. Even if Cao Cao can take another city and a place, what then? In the blink of an eye, it can be destroyed by Liu Yi again. Think about it again, he originally had more than one million Cao troops, sat on several large states, occupied the Central Plains, and his territory was not much less than Liu Yi's, but so what? Isn't he also a prisoner of Liu Yi now?

For a while, Cao Cao seemed to see more things clearly. He thought about it, and now Leo didn't treat him like a prisoner. has already given him Cao Cao face. Of course, Cao Cao also understands that I am afraid this is also a kind of temptation for Liu Yi to himself. Think about it, in order to be able to capture Chen Liu and Xu Du without spending a single soldier. and those towns that are still under the control of their own Cao army. That's why I was tolerant of myself, at the time. In front of Chen Liucheng, Liu Yi was not good at killing himself directly and causing Cao Jun's anger and desperateness.

So. Cao Cao thought about it again, and Liu Yi was now tolerant of himself. I'm afraid I just want to give myself a chance to rebel, and then have an excuse to kill myself, right? It's okay if you don't run away, but if you do, I'm afraid it will be when you die.

It's just that Cao Cao didn't care about his life or death, he didn't care about his life and death that day, how could he care now? In Cao Cao's heart, there was actually still a thought. He knew that he would die if he escaped, but he still had a little bad intentions, that is, after thinking of Luoyang, if he had the opportunity, he would create some trouble for Liu Yi.

For example, these unwavering generals who swear to follow themselves create a mess in Luoyang, and even, if possible, kill the palace and restrain the young emperor, especially now, when the emperor is still by his side, it will be equivalent to controlling the two emperors of the young emperor and the emperor at once. Of course, Cao Cao also knew that such an approach was more extreme, a kind of hysterical madness, because when Liu Yi was in Chenliu, he also made it very clear that Liu Yi might replace the young emperor as the emperor, and Emperor Xian also made it clear that he would not compete for the position of emperor. In this way, Cao Cao also knew that even if he made such a crazy move, he might not be able to shake the foundation of Liu Yi and the New Han Dynasty. At most, it may just bring some trouble to Leo.

It was precisely because Cao Cao himself understood that he was just thinking about it in his heart and did not make up his mind.

However, Cao Cao is indeed reluctant to withdraw from the stage of history and is unwilling to be under Liu Yi.

It can be said that Cao Cao's psychology at this moment is indeed very contradictory. However, now that he saw the situation in Luoyang, he was deeply shocked, and the idea that he was far inferior to Liu Yi was born in his heart.

There is no way, everything Liu Yi did seemed to be far beyond Cao Cao's imagination, even what he thought and said seemed to be more far-sighted than what he Cao Cao could think of.

Of course, even if Cao Cao already had the idea that he was far inferior to Liu Yi, he didn't really let go, even if he wouldn't make any trouble for Liu Yi, but he didn't want to bow to Liu Yi, he wouldn't really recognize Liu Yi, he wouldn't submit to assist Liu Yi, and he wouldn't be used by Liu Yi.

Cao Cao didn't say anything more to Yan Liang, but walked towards the Luoyang City Gate with a complicated expression.

When they arrived at the Luoyang City Gate, many officials and city guards who had already received the news that they had stayed in the imperial court were already waiting at the city gate.

A group of officials and generals of the New Han Dynasty seemed to be very polite to come forward to meet Cao Cao, and did not treat Cao Cao as a captured enemy.

However, Cao Cao was also a little strange and suspicious at this time.

Cao Cao's people, his generals and personal soldiers, etc., had a total of 20,000 or 30,000 horses. Among them, the ordinary pro-soldiers have been disarmed, and their weapons have been confiscated, but such as Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xu Huang, Zhang He, Xiahoudun, etc., the armor and weapons of the generals and their generals have not been confiscated, and even the armor and weapons of Cao Cao and the pro-guards of these generals have not been confiscated. Originally, Cao Cao thought that after arriving in Luoyang, he would definitely be guarded and guarded separately by his people, and would not let his people enter the city, but now these officials and generals of the Luoyang court. There doesn't seem to be the slightest hint of this behavior, and it seems that he really put all his people into the city. Don't. Lewis is so relieved of himself? Not at all worried that after he entered the city with his people, he would do something unfavorable to him?

Cao Cao couldn't help but ask the court officials who came to welcome him into the city, "Wait a minute. I want to know, when you enter the city, where do you want to place your own appearance? And these generals and soldiers under the prime minister, how will they be placed? ”

There are still many court officials who stayed in Luoyang, and many of them are Cao Cao's old acquaintances, or people who have certain grievances with Cao Cao. For example, courtiers such as Kong Rong and Feng Ji.

Of course, they did not come to meet Cao Cao. It was Chen Qun who came to greet him, and it was he who led some officials who remained in the imperial court to greet Cao Cao.

When Chen Qun heard this, he said to Cao Cao: "Prime Minister Cao, there is a military camp in Luoyang City, which can accommodate the soldiers who come to Luoyang with you. Of course, when they enter the barracks, we do not restrict their freedom of life, except for a certain amount of treaty discipline. They can enter and leave the barracks at will, but they can't leave Luoyang, and they have to wait for our lord to return to Luoyang to see what the lord does. Before the lord returned to Luoyang. Our court will also be responsible for their diet, so. Please don't worry about Prime Minister Cao. This is a letter sent by our lord himself, ordering us to arrange it. As for Prime Minister Cao Cheng. Other arrangements will apply. ”

"Hmm......" Cao Cao couldn't help but nod when he heard that Liu Yi would not dispose of these people who were loyal to him behind his back. Then he asked, "So." And how to arrange the appearance? ”

"Hehe, Prime Minister Cao Cheng naturally doesn't need me to arrange it." Chen Qun smiled.

"Oh? What does that mean? Cao Cao was a little incomprehensible.

"Well, Prime Minister Cao Cheng probably doesn't know, right? Since the prime minister assassinated Dong Zhuo and escaped from Luoyang, it has been more than ten years and he has not returned to Luoyang. However, Prime Minister Cao Cheng, you have your Cao family's territory in Luoyang, and your Cao family's Cao Mansion is still there. ”

"What? My Cao family's Cao Mansion in Luoyang is still there? When Cao Cao heard this, he was stunned.

You must know that Luoyang has undergone great changes, and it is still a few major changes, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a change of dynasty. His Cao family does have a lot of power in Luoyang, and has always had his own Cao family's mansion in Luoyang, but after Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, Cao Cao wanted to fight against Dong Zhuo and support the Han family, but after seeing Dong Zhuo's brutality, he was worried that he would affect the Cao family because of himself, so he had already secretly sent his Cao family out of Luoyang, and quietly sent away the Cao family's property. At that time, what remained in Luoyang was just a Cao Mansion that had no great value and could not be moved. It was precisely because Cao Cao had no worries, in order to win the support of some courtiers in the court, and in order to make a name for himself that was not famous at the time, that he decided to assassinate Dong Zhuo, and after the assassination failed, he was able to flee Luoyang with peace of mind.

Since that time, Cao Cao knew that his foundation in Luoyang, his Cao Mansion, would definitely be confiscated by Dong Zhuo, and from then on, Luoyang would no longer have a brick and a half of his Cao Cao. Not to mention later, Dong Zhuo moved the capital, looted Luoyang and set fire to Luoyang, although Liu Yi saved Luoyang, the thousand-year-old capital, in time, but, after more than ten years of operation in the New Han Dynasty, where can you still find a trace of his Cao Cao's memory in Luoyang?

So many years have passed, and now, suddenly someone told him that he was in Luoyang, and he still had a foundation, and the former Cao Mansion. You must know that the Cao Mansion in Luoyang is actually equivalent to Cao Cao's old house ancestral house, and its meaning is similar to the Cao family manor in Qian County, where he is from. At least, Cao Cao was born in Luoyang, right? You grew up in Luoyang when you were young, right? It can be said that Luoyang is Cao Cao's hometown. Therefore, now that he heard that his Cao Mansion was still there, Cao Cao was not surprised, but completely shocked.

"Cao, Caofu?" Cao Cao's voice trembled a little, a little incredulous.

Together with the generals who followed Cao Cao, they were also surprised, they did not leave Cao Cao along the way, for fear that Liu Yi would send someone to assassinate Cao Cao.

"What are you talking about? My family was forced by Dong Zhuo's traitor for many years, and after leaving Luoyang, Dong Zhuo confiscated Cao's mansion. One of them, a pro-soldier who had stayed in Cao's Mansion, also asked in disbelief.

Chen Qun deliberately pretended to be a little surprised and said, "Nonsense? Don't you and Prime Minister Cao Cheng know? In the Cao Mansion, there is also Prime Minister Cao's family, so the Cao Mansion is naturally there. Not only is it still there, except for a very small part of the buildings that originally belonged to Caofu because of the needs of urban planning, which have been requisitioned and rebuilt by the Luoyang Imperial Court. In fact, Cao Cao's Mansion has not changed much, and it is still not much different from the original Caofu. Now that Prime Minister Cao Cheng has arrived in Luoyang, he will naturally return to Cao's mansion. ”

"In addition, although Cao's Mansion is also a fairly large mansion, it may not be able to accommodate so many generals and strong men of Prime Minister Cao, so this official also deliberately vacated another mansion not far from Cao's Mansion for Prime Minister Cao's generals to settle down. As for what happens in the future, I have to wait until my lord returns to Luoyang. Therefore, I would like to ask the generals to do so. Chen Jun apologized to Cao Cao and the other Cao generals.

"That's not right, someone from my Cao family? Who else in my Cao family is in Luoyang? Cao Cao was really a little confused for a while.

"Hehe......" Chen Qun smiled mysteriously, as if he was deliberately going to sell a pass: "This, Prime Minister Cao Cheng will know when he returns to Cao's mansion?" Do you need this official to lead the way for Prime Minister Cao? You should still know the way back to your home, right? ”

"This ......" Cao Cao naturally recognizes the way back to his Cao Mansion, even if it seems that Luoyang has changed a little bit, but he believes that the old city will definitely not change much, at least, he can still remember the direction. But with his current status, can he move around freely? couldn't help but look at Yan Liang.

"Prime Minister Cao Cheng, please take it easy, Yan's main task is to escort Emperor Xian back to Luoyang, and now, Yan is naturally escorting Emperor Xian to the palace to meet the Queen Mother and the Young Emperor. Therefore, General Ben will not accompany Prime Minister Cao back to Cao's mansion. Yan Liang said expressionlessly.

Yan Liang's words surprised Cao Cao and all the Cao generals, because this meant to completely lift the monitoring of them. This, can Liu Yi really be so relieved of them?

For a while, Cao Cao, whether it was Cao Cao or the Cao general below him, they all showed a complicated look.

Yan Liang didn't say anything, but directly ordered his military horses to go to the military camp to settle first, and simply didn't even enter the city. He only took a small number of soldiers, escorted the carriage of the emperor, and entered the city with Chen Qun and other courtiers.

Of course, some soldiers sent by the DPRK were left behind, waiting to take Cao Cao's soldiers to the military camp in the city, and some officials to take Cao Cao and his generals.

"When you enter the city, don't make trouble, go back to Caofu first!" Cao Cao took a deep breath, gave an order to the generals and soldiers, and rode his horse in the direction of Cao's mansion. (To be continued.) )
