21. I want to go to Luoyang

Seeing Cao Cao's anger, the three of them were silent, Cao Cao walked back and forth a few steps, and after his emotions eased a little, he asked, "Then what should we do now?" ”

Xun Yu opened his mouth and said: "It should stabilize the foundation of Yingchuan, and at the same time send a letter to Yuan Shu to show goodwill, wait for the Son of Heaven to move back to Luoyang, and then welcome the Son of Heaven to collect the land of Heluo."

Cao Cao groaned: "The Son of Heaven is now in Anyi, not far from Yingchuan, if I go to meet the Son of Heaven now, I am afraid that it will change later, and which clan will take the lead." Cao Cao's lessons from Yanzhou and Yuzhou obviously became jealous of those protΓ©gΓ©s all over the world, which can't be blamed on him, he fought to the death in Yuzhou, but the results of the battle were quietly received by Yuan Shu, and the rebellion in Yanzhou was also instigated by Yuan Shu, which shows how much influence the family had at that time.

Guo Jia said: "The lord must not be like this! Our army's foundation in Yingchuan is not stable, if we go to meet the Son of Heaven now, I am afraid that Yuan Shu will take advantage of the need to cut off our army's way back, then Yuan Shu only needs to hold Yingchuan, and then unite with Xuzhou Liu Bei to fight Yanzhou, the main force of our army can not return to help, Yanzhou will inevitably fall, then our army can only be trapped in Heluo, Yanzhou is the foundation of our army, must not be lost! ”

Xun Yu also persuaded: "Now there is only Chang'an's Dong Zhuoyu Dang Li Dao, Guo Yan, Hongnong's chariot general Zhang Ji, and Hebei Yuan Shao and the lord, the Son of Heaven has no reason to go back after Chang'an, Zhang Ji and Li Dao Guo Yan have formed an alliance, the Son of Heaven and the hundred officials are naturally disgusted, Yuan Shao dominates the north at this time is just around the corner, Gongsun Chan is trapped in Yi Jing for a long time, he will definitely not let go of the opportunity to exterminate Gongsun Chan to meet the Son of Heaven, so it is not the lord who can welcome the Son of Heaven, there is no need to worry. ”

Cao Cao was greatly moved but still a little hesitant, after all, this fallen emperor is too important to him, as long as he can control this son of heaven, then everything becomes justified, although he can't win the support of the world's scholars and wealthy families, but it is better than the current situation of taking great pains to curry favor with this group of local tyrants and squires every time he occupies a place, and he has to worry about the crisis of being subverted all the time.

Seeing that Cao Cao was still hesitating, Xun Yu resolutely got up and saluted Cao Cao and said categorically: "The subordinates and the Hou Zhong Xuan of the Dongwu Pavilion of the current dynasty are fellow villagers, and now the lord has broken the remnants of the Yingchuan Yellow Turban and can send someone to Beijing to report the victory, and the subordinates are willing to go to Anyi to face the saint, and contact Zhong Xuan to ensure that the lord welcomes the Son of Heaven is foolproof." ”

Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard it, you must know that Xun Yu is a famous man in the world, and he was born in a prestigious family, and there are many officials around the Son of Heaven who have his old ways, and it is much greater to have him to plan and grasp, only to hear Cao Cao laugh and say: "So there is Lao Wenruo, I should send four hundred tiger guards to escort Wenruo to Anyi." ”

Xun Yu said, "Thank you, lord!" ”

After a few people discussed how to stabilize the power in Yingchuan, Guo Jia offered advice: "Because the remnants of the Yellow Turban are raging, Yingchuan Haoqiang's territories outside the city have been abandoned for a long time, to win the heart of Haoqiang, first of all, we must take back the land for them, tomorrow the lord can meet with the Yingchuan Haoqiang squires in Xuchang, and then ask them to list the entries, mark their county territories, and we will send troops to inform the officials of the county Daoxiang Pavilion, and urge them to let the tenant farmers of Haoqiang's territory engage in production to win their support." ”

After hearing this, Cao Cao said: "This is very good. ”

Xun Yu also spoke: "Now that the six counties of Yuzhou have been owned by Yuan Shu, and the displaced people captured by the Yingchuan thieves do not need to rush back to Yanzhou, I learned from the population of the Yingchuan tribe that because some places have long been arrogant and resentful of the land being occupied, they organized a confrontation with the villagers, and the whole family was killed. ”

Cao Zhang almost said to Xun Yu when he heard it, you are really a bodhisattva, and you can't forget those homeless people, in the aristocracy, Xun Yu is really a different species, thinking about the common people.

Cao Cao was naturally as good as a stream, and immediately asked the guards to let Xiahoudun send 10,000 soldiers to transport grain to collect the displaced people in several ways, showing that he attached great importance to Xun Yu.

After that, Cao Cao said to Cao Zhang: "Zhang'er, now that the remnants of the Yingchuan Yellow Turban have been broken, the next thing is some trivial things, why don't you go to Anyi with Pi'er and Mr. Wenruo, Pi'er also wants to go to Luoyang, and when the Son of Heaven starts, my father and son will meet in Luoyang." ”

Although Cao Zhang didn't know Cao Cao's intention to let him go to Anyi, he still agreed, and then the discussion ended here, and several people returned to their tents.

Cao Zhang and Cao Pi shared a tent, and when Cao Zhang returned, Cao Pi had not yet slept, but was reading with a roll of bamboo slips.

In this era, there are three main materials for books, one is called silk, which is made of silk fabrics as materials, which is not only lightweight, but also broad, but this thing is expensive, and it cannot be altered when written, so it is suitable for the nobles who are idle and have a pain in their eyes.

There is also a kind of wooden plank, generally only one foot long, here a foot is a little more than 24 centimeters, basically not very wide, because this is used to write short essays, the general content will not exceed 100 words, mostly used for the army to pass the book, and officials to make memos when they go to court, you can grasp it with one hand, this thing is called a wooden slip, because he is only a foot long, so it is also called a ruler.

At present, the most commonly used thing is the bamboo slip in Cao Pi's hand, which is made of bamboo pieces only about one finger wide and strung together with hemp rope or silk rope, and then rolled into a roll, which is called a book.

The writing materials used in these three things are pen and ink, and the advantage of the latter two is that you can shave off with a knife if you make a mistake, which is more environmentally friendly.

Every time Cao Zhang saw Cao Pi holding this thing, he admired it, because this thing was heavier, and it was really hard to hold it, Cao Pi saw Cao Zhang come back and asked, "What did my father say to you?" ”

"It's nothing, just talk about marching and fighting." Cao Zhang said as he lay down on the makeshift bunk.

"It's so boring." Cao Pi pursed his lips, obviously he was not interested in fighting, just look at the bamboo slips he was holding in his hand, and it was the Book of Songs.

"Interestingly, we can go to Anyi with Mr. Xun Yu tomorrow, and then drive to Luoyang with the saint, which can fulfill your wishes." Cao Zhang said lightly.

"Really?" Cao Pi put down the bamboo slip and came to Cao Zhang's side and asked happily.

"Yes, I can't lie to you, you'd better go to bed quickly, or you won't have the strength to ride tomorrow." Cao Zhang said.

"Good! That's great! I've wanted to go to Luoyang for a long time, and I heard that the Heluo Plain there is a flat river, and you can't see the end at a glance! It's a pleasure to ride a horse there! Cao Pi said excitedly.

Cao Zhangqi said: "Who did you listen to?" ”

"Uncle Chun! He has been to many places, even outside the gates. Cao Pi said.

"Oh... Cao Zhang suddenly remembered Cao Chun's superb riding skills and the courage of slashing the enemy general with one sword, and naturally said: "If you have time, you can ask him for riding skills。。。。。 ”
