On the morning of the day after Cao Cao and his henchmen Wenwu made their final choice, two important pieces of news came along with two letters.

The first letter was written by the new Xuzhou Mu Mizhu to Cao Cao, the content was concise, elegant and humble, but it only informed that more than 1,000 people from the angels and forbidden troops who had been urgently summoned by the imperial court and went to Xuzhou to proclaim the decree rushed to Luoyang through Yanzhou, and could not come to visit Haihan Yunyun to plead with Haihan Yunyun.

When Cao Cao received the letter, more than 1,000 people, including Mi Zhu and the Angel of Xuan, had already crossed the central part of Yanzhou, and were marching towards Luoyang day and night.

Just when Cao Cao summoned his henchmen to speculate repeatedly, the second letter together with a Qingzhou general Zou Yi who came to meet and personally delivered the letter suddenly arrived, the letter was a handwritten letter from Gongsun Pei, the core figure of the respected Qingzhou army, in addition to greetings, it only showed that he was rushing to Luoyang with the new Zongzheng Liu Ye and the new Qingzhou Mu Xu Yi and others.

This news shocked Cao Cao and his henchmen, who were full of doubts, and immediately realized that a major change must have occurred in Luoyang, otherwise Gongsun Pei, the soul of the Qingzhou military and political group who had always been hidden behind Liu Cun, and almost all the high-ranking civil and military officials in Qingzhou would never suddenly rush to Luoyang together.

After a short analysis, Cao Cao and more than a dozen civil and military henchmen under his command immediately mobilized more than 1,000 people, and rushed to the camp thirty miles east of Puyang City with Zou Yi, the general of the Qingzhou Army and Liu Cun's confidant disciple, who came to deliver the message, and ordered the garrison under his command to clean the roads and tidy up the camp. Quickly mobilize forage to bury the pot and make rice. Meet the upcoming Gongsun Pei, Liu Ye and Xu Yi and other important people who are famous all over the world.

It's noon. Gongsun Pei and his entourage arrived on time under the escort of three thousand Qingzhou cavalry, Cao Cao immediately led his henchmen to meet him, and just wanted to meet Gongsun Pei in the next life of his nephew, Gongsun Pei, who looked tired and kind, took the first step to stop it, and gently returned the courtesy of his peers, and then talked in a low voice with Cao Cao, who was full of respect.

Cao Cao listened to Gongsun Pei's concise three sentences, his expression changed greatly, and at the moment, regardless of supporting Gongsun Pei, he boarded the carriage together, and ordered him to go back to the camp to rest and eat first. took the lead in rushing to the barracks with Gongsun Pei, ignoring Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Liu Ye and Xu Yi, who were familiar with each other and greeted each other.

Cao Cao jumped off without waiting for the carriage to stop, respectfully helped Gongsun Pei get out of the car, and led the "uncle" Gongsun Pei into the warm and comfortable tent, took the hot tea offered by the waiter and ordered everyone to retreat, and personally delivered the hot tea to Gongsun Pei, who was gasping for breath.

After Gongsun Pei slowly drank a few sips of hot tea, his pale face turned a little bloody, and he looked at Cao Cao with satisfaction who straightened his waist and sat silently beside him, and whispered a shocking story:

"When the young emperor was rescued back to Chang'an. Unfortunately, he was shot by the Xiliang Army, and nearly half of the 300 elite soldiers of the Tiger and Leopard Battalion of the Qingzhou Army who were guarding the young emperor rushed out of the north gate of Chang'an were killed and wounded. Thousands of servants of Yang Biao, Zhao Qi and other adults were almost all killed in battle to block the pursuing army, and Lu Pei, a confidant disciple of Zijian, was seriously injured in four arrows in his body to cover the young emperor, and is still lying on the bed unable to move. ”

"Zhang Dun, the Huangmen of the palace, who led more than 100 chamberlains to guard the escape of the young emperor, also broke his leg, and among the more than 50 civil and military ministers who rushed out of Chang'an with the young emperor, 14 of them were unfortunately shot by stray arrows, and only six of them survived by luck after being treated all the way by the military medical officer."

After returning to Luoyang, the young emperor's arrow wound became more and more serious, and the divine doctor Hua Tuo and several high-ranking disciples tried their best to treat it day and night, but they still did not get better. When the young emperor was conscious, he could not speak, and could only convey his thoughts through writing with difficulty, and most of the time he was in a coma. ”

"In order to stabilize the current situation, the Chinese military of the DPRK concealed the injuries of the young emperor to the outside world, and now it seems that the young emperor may not have much time."

Cao Cao, who was shocked, looked at Gongsun Pei, who was holding the teacup again and his face was full of bitterness, only to feel that his heart was surging and it was difficult to breathe, and it took a while to recover from his stunned state, and he made a request as soon as possible: "Uncle Shi, the little nephew wants to rush to Luoyang with you!" ”

Gongsun Pei suddenly had a sense of relief in unloading the boulder in his heart, but there was nothing abnormal in his calm and slightly solemn face and Gu Jing Bubo's eyes, he carefully looked at Cao Cao, who quickly made up his mind after being shaken in an instant, for a while, and finally nodded with satisfaction:

"Mengde, although you and I have no relationship between the two families, but twenty years ago, when I first entered the court as a Lang official, I often got your grandfather Cao Song's support and care, and I always respected him as a father in my heart, and later worked with your late father in Sikong Mansion for two years, and the relationship between them is very good.

Cao Cao's eyes were red, and he bowed respectfully.

Gongsun Pei stretched out his hand and pulled Cao Cao, and said in a serious voice: "Sit closer...... Meng De, do you know how highly Zijian thinks of you? Long before Zijian's career, that is, when he was still kneading clay and burning kilns, fishing and drying salt by the sea of Zhushan Mountain, Zijian told me that among all the heroes in the world, the only one who can make him respect and make him place expectations is you Cao Cao! ”

"To be honest, I didn't agree with him at the time, although your reputation was already great at that time, and you also made some achievements to benefit the people in Jinan, but I don't think you can reach the height predicted by Zijian, even if Zijian later recommended you to serve as the pastor of Yanzhou, I still think you may be difficult to do."

"It wasn't until I saw clearly your governance methods after serving as the pastor of Yanzhou, as well as the policies of strengthening the army in Tuntian, reducing taxes and benefiting the people, and then to your courage and foresight in meritocracy and daring to break the old system, until you seized the opportunity to avenge your father and attack Xuzhou last year, I knew that I had lost my eyes, and finally understood why Zijian admired you so much, why he was so jealous of you, you do have great potential and full of eloquence!"

Seeing that Cao Cao was nervous and wanted to speak after the shock, Gongsun Pei waved his hand and continued: "This time, I rushed to Luoyang in response to the edict, not to rush to see the last face of the young emperor, nor to mediate with those courtiers who were in the position of Zijian, but to take this opportunity to gather the royal line and restore the royal dignity together with Zijian and Liu Ye, who are relatives of the Great Han Dynasty......"

"At the same time, we must also have a good discussion with the Mijia brothers in Xuzhou, Min Chun and Geng Wu in Jizhou, the Gongsun Zan brothers in Youzhou, the monarch of Langya, the monarch of Jinan, and others who are rushing to Luoyang one after another, and see how to help Zijian rectify the army of up to 350,000 in the six candidate states in four states."
