The distance from Xudu to Luoyang is not too far, but the army composed of Cao Zhang's personal guards and city defense troops are infantry, and 15,000 people are added to transport grain, so the marching speed is still relatively slow, and when he arrived in Luoyang, it was already in late February of the fifth year of Jian'an, and the eldest son of Henan Yixia Houdun who stayed in Luoyang, Xiahou Yun personally went out of the city to meet Cao Zhang, and at the same time brought Cao Zhang two news, Cao Cao's army in Xudu has also sent troops, and before that, Taixue has been repaired.

Cao Zhang asked Chen to arrive, Wang Ling and Xiahou Heng to settle the army, and he and Xiahou Yun entered the county government, because he wanted to ask in detail about the day when Taixue completed the repair.
It was a grand event to rebuild Taixue in Xudu, so on the day of the completion of the repair, a grand ceremony was held by Emperor Xian's leader ** and hundreds of officials, and Cao Zhang's plan to tell Cao Xian was carried out in this ceremony.
After taking a sip of tea, Cao Zhang asked Xiahou Yundao: "It is a grand event to rebuild Taixue, but unfortunately I have not been to the ceremony, I can't imagine that I am still on the march, but the news of the completion of Taixue repair arrived in Luoyang one step ahead of me, I don't know how Luoyang scholars comment on this grand event?" ”
Xiahou Yun said with a smile: "Now the most talked about by Luoyang scholars is not the ceremony of Taixue, but the mind of Cao Guiren who cut his robe to preach the holy religion and begged His Majesty to collect the compassion of the world's strange diseases. ”
Cao Zhang's heart was relieved when he heard this, it seemed that Cao Xian had indeed acted according to his strategy, but Cao Zhang still wanted to hear what Cao Xian had to say, so he pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Where do you start with this?" ”
Xiahou Yun replied: "On the day of the inauguration ceremony of Taixue, His Majesty took the queen, Cao Guiren and hundreds of officials gathered in Taixue, and then read a congratulatory message, when Cao Guiren was wearing a light yellow dress, and after His Majesty finished reading the congratulatory speech, Cao Guiren cut off the hem of his robe, and presented it to the saint and said, 'Although the concubine lives in the deep palace, I also heard that His Majesty created the rubbing method can print the inscription on the cloth, and now the concubine is in this ceremony, offering a piece of clothing, willing to print the four words of loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, hanging in the downtown area, Let anyone passing by see this word, and promote the teachings of the saints! When the saint heard these words, he was immediately moved, and he also cut off a piece of his sleeve robe and said, "I should also follow the law of the nobles, print these four words and hang them in the palace, so that the son, maidservants, and slaves can see these four words and remember them!" Then the officials followed suit and said that they would hang it in the main hall of the house, so that the guests and servants of the house could see it. This time, Cao Guiren was out of the limelight. ”
Cao Zhang smiled when he heard this: "The noble man is indeed very good!" This is Cao Zhang's strategy to Cao Xian, to be a mother of the world, must have a good character, and it is recognized as a good character, so this ceremony Cao Xian's words are enough to make the emperor and the hundred officials impressed her.
"Loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness" is the basic moral concept of the Han Dynasty, and Cao Xian just used a piece of clothing to express his position, which is a business that only makes money and does not lose money.
Xiahou Yun said with a smile: "That's true, and later the nobles also proposed to let the world's doctors gather in Xudu every year to discuss incurable diseases, and then collect the world's strange diseases, and seek treatments, which makes it even more compassionate and heartfelt. ”
This is Cao Zhang's strategy to let Ji Yue dedicate to Cao Xian, Cao Xian used it together, the effect is obvious, and now her limelight has overshadowed Queen Fu, even if the emperor can't be abolished and then established, but as long as Cao Xian has a son first, it is definitely not difficult to become a prince, Cao Zhang's move is a great favor to Cao Xian.
This is also a feedback to Cao Xian and his sister and brother alliance.
Knowing that Cao Xian's affairs were going well, Cao Zhang continued to ask: "Now that my father has raised troops and left Xudu, then our crossing of the river is also imminent, and this matter still needs a lot of help from Brother Xiahou."
Xiahou Yun said with a smile: "The third prince can rest assured, now that a large amount of grain and grass in the Yuan army has been burned, so it cannot supply the garrisons in various places, because their power in Hedong and Hanoi counties is not strong, and now our army is huge, many local squires are interested in us, crossing the river is not a problem at all, Luoyang has been operated by my father for many years, and there are more and more ships, whether it is enough to transport troops and grain." ”
Cao Zhang smiled: "That's the best!" However, the heart of defense is indispensable, and it is necessary to maintain the formation when crossing the river, so that people have no opportunity to take advantage of it. ”
Xiahou Yun said with a smile: "That's right, as long as we use the building boat to open the way, Meng Chong escorts, the fighting ship and the Yi boat are delayed, and land from the three ports, even if they want to ambush us, it will be in vain." ”
Cao Zhang said: "Then the matter of crossing the river will be bothering Brother Xiahou!" In addition, after I crossed the river with a large army, Brother Xiahou must guard the waterway from Guanzhong to Luoyang, and Uncle Yuan Rang and Zhonghou Ye fought in Guanzhong, I am afraid that someone will take advantage of the chaos to sneak attack on the waterway. ”
Xiahou Yun said with a smile: "Don't worry, the third son, my father has already entrusted me with this matter." ”
Cao Zhang smiled and said: "Clever plan, since this is the case, Brother Xiahou will help mobilize the ships, I plan to land in Hanoi, and then sweep from Hanoi to the east of the river, and then enter Huguan, so that Gao Gan can be flawless." ”
Xiahou Yun replied: "Obey the orders of the third prince!" ”
Cao Chang continued: "Brother Xiahou still needs to compile a list of those squires in Hanoi who want to surrender to our army, otherwise it will not be good for our army to hurt them." ”
Xiahou Yun said: "This is easy to do, these squires have shops in Luoyang, and they have a lot of business dealings with us, as long as they are informed, let them present it themselves." ”
Cao Zhang nodded and said, "That's the best." After the discussion, Cao Zhang and Xiahou Yun said goodbye and returned to the barracks, now he is the commander of the three armies, so he has to live where the soldiers live, and he can't do the things of enjoying happiness in the county government now.
Most of Xiahoudun's army went to Guanzhong to assist Zhong Xuan in fighting the warlords, so Cao Zhang's army could be stationed in the camp in Luoyang City, Cao Zhang returned to the camp and immediately called Chen to Xiahou Heng and Wang Ling, and asked them to go to the county guard to coordinate with Xiahou Yun about crossing the river, and said that they should let the army cross the river within five days, because to cooperate with Cao Cao to go north, he must be fast.
After the three of them were ordered to go, Cao Zhang came to the camp where Zhang Ji and his disciples lived, this time it was he Cao Zhang who personally named Zhang Ji and his disciples to accompany him, so Cao Zhang would come here to condolence if he had nothing to do, because Cao Zhang, who has modern knowledge, understands the importance of medical conditions for a protracted war, so it is necessary to stabilize this medical team.
Zhang Ji is very experienced in treating typhoid fever, plague and other internal diseases, which can be said to be unparalleled in the world, and the most deadly disease in the army is this disease, so Cao Zhang treats Zhang Ji and his disciples very preferentially, not only enjoy the camp prostitutes do not need to give money, in addition to the military market everything is paid by him, but also provide high-level military food such as dried meat and Hu cakes every day, and condolences from time to time, which makes Zhang Ji and his disciples very grateful, today Cao Zhang suddenly asked Zhang Ji after a routine condolences.
"Sir, Mr. Guo Jia Guo Fengxiao is a guest of honor, he often goes out with the army, I am often worried about his body, I heard that Mr. prescribed some medicine to him to condition his body, I don't know if he can make him less sick when he is marching?"
For Guo Jia, Cao Zhang attaches great importance to it, because he feels that Cao Jun can't do without Guo Jia, only what Guo Jia says, Cao Cao will obey unconditionally, and only Guo Jia can see through people's hearts, so Cao Zhang once again asked the question he was worried about.
