153 Sweep away internal troubles
In the North Palace of the Imperial City, in the Shifang Hall where Cao Xian lived, Cao Zhang was telling Dong Cheng about his involvement in the loss of Bao Proton. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
At this time, Cao Xian was dressed luxuriously, with a shiny headdress, sitting upright on the couch, the corners of his mouth raised, obviously quite excited to hear the news.
"Hehe, third brother, my sister has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time!" Cao Xian stood up and walked to Cao Zhang's side, gently pressed Cao Zhang's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Now this news has not reached the palace, as long as it reaches the palace, my sister will immediately go and tell Your Majesty that Dong Guiren will definitely die!" ”
Cao Zhang said: "Congratulations to the second sister!" "Because Cao Cao brought back a lost daughter Cao Ying before, she was older than Cao Xian, so Cao Xian became the second sister.
Cao Xian smiled coquettishly and said, "Sister still has to think about rhetoric, the third brother will go and get busy first." ”
Cao Zhang's resignation when he heard the words, out of the palace, it was already night, although Cao Zhang did not issue a curfew, but seeing the situation of the officers and soldiers on the street, the people in the city did not dare to go out, and now there are only teams of officers and soldiers on the streets of Xudu, and there is not an ordinary pedestrian in sight.
These sergeants were all subordinate to Cao Zhang's Jinwu Temple, and Cao Chang personally received them in batches when they came to Xudu, so officers and ordinary sergeants recognized this top boss and bowed when they passed by him.
Cao Zhang went directly back to the Zhijinwu Temple to wait for Cao Cao's order, he knew that it would not take much time for Cao Cao to investigate this matter thoroughly, and the order would come down soon.
Sure enough, two hours later, Wei Wei Cao Anmin came to the Zhijinwu Temple in person, and after seeing Cao Zhang, he said: "Third son, the general has an order to arrest all the thieves on the silk." After speaking, he handed over a roll of plain silk.
Cao Zhang didn't even look at it, and after taking the Su Juan, he asked the guards to give Yuan Dalu an order, and then pulled Cao Anmin out of the Zhijinwu Temple side by side, and asked, "Brother Anmin, how is the situation in the palace?" ”
Cao Anmin said: "It's a mess, Your Majesty was furious when he heard that the national abbot had done such a rebellious thing, and he had already arrested Dong Guiren and his maids together, but I was afraid that the main master would die, and the maids would become prostitutes." ”
Cao Zhang was still taken aback when he expected it, this Cao Xian's attack was really black and ruthless, and he swept away Dong Guiren's power at once, and there was a way to make Emperor Xian completely ignore the feelings of common suffering, this is really a key skill, but he asked: "What is the attitude of the queen of Fu?" ”
Cao Anmin said with a smile: "After Fuhou is silent, the saint is angry, who dares to plead?" Moreover, the trip of the national ruler is tantamount to treason, and he can't help him. ”
Cao Zhang smiled: "Wonderful! Wonderful! Suddenly, a fast horse came to the two of them, and the knight dismounted and saluted: "The general is waiting for the captain and the lord of Zhijingo in the Sikong Mansion!" ”
Cao Zhang and Cao Anmin immediately came to Sikong Mansion, at this time Cao Cao was wearing civilian clothes, calm and relaxed, and the solemn judgment of the two who heard the news before, Guo Jia and Jia Xu sat on both sides of the head, and when they saw the two coming in, Cao Cao smiled and said: "Ziwen, Anmin, sit!" ”
After the two sat down according to the words, Cao Cao smiled and said: "Dong Cheng, Kong Rong and his party have all been arrested, and the saint has also sent a messenger to set off in the starry night to canonize Ma Teng, Han Sui and the two, Lone has already sent a document to Zhong Hou and Yuan Rang, so that the two will join Chang'an, and when Wenhe arrives in Chang'an, he will immediately raise troops to attack, but there is still one thing, Lone originally intended to cross the river to attack Yuan Shao in February this year, and originally wanted Yuan Rang to send troops from Luoyang to cross the river to attack Hedong, Hanoi and two counties, and contain Yuan Shao's nephew Gao Gan, who was guarding the town, and now Yuan Rang is going to send troops to Luoyang, and this matter naturally has to find another person to replace, Ziwen, Watching your sergeants act in the city quite lawfully, you can transfer 5,000 people from Luoyang to carry out this plan, and as for the affairs of the city, leave it to An Min to take care of for the time being. ”
Cao Zhang replied when he heard this: "No! ”
Cao Cao said with a smile: "Ziwen can let Yuan let his eldest son Xiahou Yun assist from the side." ”
Cao Zhang said: "The child takes the order. ”
Cao Cao said with a smile: "In this case, today is over, Ziwen and An Min will hand over the details of the city defense, and the people can ask your uncle, and on the first day of the second month, Ziwen can raise troops and go to Luoyang." ”
Cao Zhang and Cao Anmin began to hand over the city defense after they retreated, Cao Zhang planned to take his own personal guard battalion to go on the expedition, as for the two and a thousand people, he could only bring the 1,000 city defense troops under Xiahou Heng, because except for Xiahou Heng and Cao Zhen's city defense army, there were recruits in all the battalions.
After Cao Zhang finished talking about his plan, he said to Cao Anmin: "Brother Anmin, you can deploy the other 1,000 city defense troops from the outer seven battalions. ”
Cao Anmin replied: "This is very good, anyway, the internal troubles have been cleared, Xu Du is very peaceful, and there is no big problem in using new soldiers." ”
After the two discussed, they went home separately, and after returning to their mansion, Cao Zhang immediately called Chen Zhi and told him to take the personal guard battalion to Luoyang in early February, and prepare to cooperate with Cao Cao to cross the river and attack Yuan Shao.
Chen Zhi said when he heard this: "In this case, I will step up the training of sergeants these days. ”
Cao Zhang said: "By the way, I will find Zhang Ji, the imperial doctor, and let him bring a few of his disciples, I will set up a wounded battalion, I don't know how much time it will take to cross the river to fight Yuan Shao this time, and then there will be a plague or something, and we will not be able to bear it for thousands of people." ”
Chen Zhi replied: "No! ”
Cao Zhang yawned and smiled: "Okay, Uncle Zhi go and rest." ”
After Chen Zhi retired and left, Cao Zhang began to think about the actions of the Sima family in Hanoi, now that Yuan Shao is newly defeated, his territory must be rumored, Jia Xu said that the Sima family may have gone to Liangzhou, but in this case, it is really impossible to move like the Yang family, so the Sima family must have slipped out of the light car, so they must still have a huge foundation in Hanoi, and this time it happened to be cleared in one fell swoop at the time of the war.
Although he only has 5,000 soldiers, but with the people, but it is also an army of 20,000, it is not strange to have a locust to cross the border, as long as someone resists slightly, they will be slaughtered immediately, and the foundation of the Sima family in Hanoi will be swept clean, since they have planned to go to Longxi to develop, put out the fire in Hanoi!
Cao Zhang thought so, and suddenly remembered that Guo Jia was still rebuilding Taixue, and he was going to leave in early February, maybe he couldn't see that Taixue was finished, and this Taixue was also his own powerful thing, but he couldn't see it, wouldn't he be too depressed, and suddenly had an idea, and asked someone to call Ji Yue over.
Ji Yue moved the jade step lightly to Cao Zhang and asked, "What do the third prince command?" ”
Cao Zhang said something to Ji Yue and said with a smile: "Remember, on the day of Taixue's ceremony, let Cao Guiren do what I say." ”
Ji Yue nodded when she heard this, then hesitated for a moment, and asked timidly: "Third prince, why don't you mention this matter to Cao Guiren yourself?" ”
Cao Zhang said with a smile: "But I want to let the nobles know this little Jiyue of my family!" ”
Ji Yue's face turned red when she heard this, and she replied, "No! ”
Cao Zhang waved his hand and said, "Don't say this until after I leave." ”
Ji Yue agreed again, and then retired.
