Chapter 205: Holding the Son of Heaven to Order the Princes
"How daring!" Cao Ying said with a surprised face: "Even if Dong Zhuo had 400,000 male soldiers back then, he didn't dare to stab with the champion Hou. Are Li Dao and Guo Yan dying? β
"Lord, according to reliable information, it was not that Dong Zhuo did not dare to be an enemy of Liu Zhang, but that Dong Zhuo's family was all in Liu Zhang's hands!" Cheng Yu took out another piece of information and handed it to Cao Ying, but the words in his mouth surprised everyone inexplicably.
"Liu Zhang arrested Dong Zhuo's family?" Cao Ying asked in surprise, "When did this happen?" β
Cheng Yu said bitterly: "It is said that it was before the princes begged Dong!" It's just that Liu Zhang and Dong Zhuo tightly blocked the news, and no one knew. β
"How do you know that now?" Cao Ying looked puzzled, since Liu Zhang and Dong Zhuo had blocked the news, no one should know.
"It was Li Dao and Guo Yan who said it unintentionally because of anger!" Cheng Yu sighed: "This matter was told to me by Mrs. Yang. β
"I see, the champion Hou deserves to be the champion Hou. When he sent troops, it was really for the Empress Dowager He and King Hongnong, I served! Cao Ying shook his head, he had always admired Liu Zhang, but when the princes were begging for Dong, Liu Zhang's behavior made him very puzzled. However, now he understands that Liu Zhang is very emotional.
"In that case, let's take the opportunity to fight with the champion Hou and take His Majesty out! It's just that we can't get close to Chang'an, otherwise Li Dao and Guo Yan will be in trouble if they treat us as enemies. It is better to let His Majesty escape from Chang'an by himself, and we will send troops to respond, after all, we are not strong enough! "Cao Ying's measure is very large, but not everyone will praise their enemies, at least Jiang Ji will not. After he finished speaking, he immediately put forward his opinion.
"Then invite Mrs. Yang up!" Cao Ying understood that Jiang Ji was changing the subject, and he didn't want to make it difficult for his advisors.
"How about it, have you discussed it? To go or not to go? Soon, Yang Biao paced the figure-eight steps and slowly walked into the conference hall.
"Go! Your Majesty beckoned, how could I not go? "For Yang Biao, the boss, Cao Ying still respects him very much, after all, Yang Biao and Cao Song have a good relationship.
"Alas! I said that Cao Mengde was loyal, but they set their eyes on Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao, which is really ridiculous! Yang Biao has a good relationship with Cao Song, he not only knows Cao Ying's personality, but also knows Cao Ying's ability, which is also the reason why he first thought of Cao Ying.
"We definitely have to go, but we also have a big problem!" There are some things that Cao Ying can't say, but as the head of Cao Ying's advisors, Xun Yu has an unshirkable responsibility.
"You are Xun Yu Xun Wenruo of the Ciming family!" The Ciming that Yang Biao said is Xun Yu's uncle Xun Shuang.
"Exactly!" Xun Yu smiled and said: "Boss, although my lord has the intention to rescue His Majesty, but after all, the strength is weak, if we are forced to defend Li Dao and Guo Yan, it is no different from sending him to death, can we use a proper method to rescue Your Majesty?" β
"Oh? So what is your opinion? Yang Biao looked at Xun Yu with a smile on his face. Xun Shuang once said that in terms of strategy, Xun Yu was the best of their generation.
"I mean, can you let Your Majesty escape from Chang'an first, and we will meet near Luoyang, so as not to startle the snake!" Xun Yu was a little ashamed, as a courtier, he couldn't share his worries for the emperor, which was really a very unhappy feeling.
"This..."Yang Biao was a little hesitant, wanting to escape from Chang'an controlled by Li Dao and Guo Yan, it was not so easy! You must know that Li Dao and Guo Yan have 300,000 troops in their hands, even if Zhang Ji takes 100,000 away, there are still 200,000, how many people are there in Liu Xie's hands? Of course, Yang Biao didn't know that Guo Yan was defeated under Yangping Pass!
"Report! The Lordβ" A small colonel rushed into the council chamber. However, when the little school saw that there was another person he didn't know in the council room, he immediately stopped reporting.
Cao Ying knew that in this case, there were usually big things happening, but he didn't want Yang Biao to leave. Xun Yu pulled the colonel over and whispered to him for a long time, and suddenly Xun Yu laughed and said, "Boss, lord, good news!" β
"Oh?" Yang Biao has been an official for so many years, how can he not have eyes, he just wanted to retire, but he didn't expect Xun Yu to speak.
"You! Say it out loud! Xun Yu pointed to Xiao Xiaoxiao, and everyone's eyes were focused on Xiao Xiaoxiao.
"Enlightenment... "When has the little school seen so many big people, I can't help but stutter a little.
"Don't be afraid! Speak slowly! Cao Ying was very kind and calmed the school, and the school quickly calmed down.
"Lord Qiqi, Guo Yan commanded 100,000 troops, fought with the champion Hou outside Yangping Pass, and was defeated by the champion Hou!" The news of the school is very shocking!
"What about the attrition of the two sides?" Cao Ying asked very nervously.
Xiao Xiao said: "I don't know the loss of the champion Hou, Guo Yan seems to have lost nearly half of the people. And after Guo Yan was defeated, he had already asked Chang'an for help! β
"Lord, the Son of Heaven has his own heavenly help!" Xun Yu looked excited, Cheng Yu and Jiang Ji were full of disdain, but Xun Yu sighed, only Chen Qun didn't seem to hear what Xun Yu said.
"Yes! Heaven help the Son of Heaven! Cao Ying was smiling, but no one knew what he was thinking.
"Is that just going according to plan?" Xun Yu asked everyone for advice, and everyone immediately looked at Cao Ying.
"It depends on the meaning of the Son of Heaven!" Cao Ying looked at Yang Biao again.
"This..."Yang Biao was stunned! Letting the Son of Heaven escape from Chang'an is obviously not something he can decide. What's more, there is also Fu Wan to contact the Yuan family. You must know that Cao Ying does not have the ability to defend Li Dao and Guo Yan, which does not mean that Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu do not.
"Lord Yang, what do you see?" Xun Yu looked at Yang Biao, but saw a hesitant expression, and instantly understood in his heart.
Maybe because of the initial excitement, Xun Yu forgot the existence of the Yuan family, but when he saw Yang Biao's hesitation, could he still not understand? Indeed, Cao Ying is not Liu Xie's only choice. If the Son of Heaven is allowed to take risks for Cao Ying's not very important choice, he may not have a big surname.
"I need to go back and talk to the Son of Heaven!" Yang Biao was a little embarrassed. However, he can't be blamed for this, after all, the court is not his own decision.
Cao Ying smiled and said, "In this case, Lord Yang will go back and discuss with the Son of Heaven, if you agree to our plan, you can send someone to inform you!" β
"Good! Meng De is worthy of being a loyal man! Seeing that Cao Ying was not displeased, Yang Biao was relieved and felt that he had not found the wrong person. But he didn't know that Cao Ying had already made a choice between 'serving the Son of Heaven to please not being a minister' and 'coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes'!
Yang Biao left, and Cao Ying began to prepare to enter Beijing to welcome the emperor. But looking at the positive Xun Yu, Cao Ying was very unhappy in his heart, he didn't want Xun Yu to be in the Han family, but he couldn't do anything, so he had to take one step at a time.
Just when Yang Biao persuaded Cao Ying, Yuan Shao also ushered in the emperor's envoy. However, the messenger sent to Yuan Shao was the one who had finished the ambush.
"Yuan Shao takes the order!" Since he is an angel, he must have a royal bearing, and not everyone has Yang Biao's consciousness. The envoy sent to Yuan Shao after Fu Wan actually dared to put up a stand in front of Yuan Shao, which can be described as tired. However, Yuan Shao didn't kill him, but just let Yan Liang and Wen Chou release a little murderous aura, which made the envoy's legs weak.
"Bring it!" Yuan Shao stretched out his hand.
"What?" The envoy was stunned, he didn't know what Yuan Shao wanted.
"Holy Decree!" Yuan Shao glared at the envoy angrily, and the envoy hurriedly handed him the holy decree. Yuan Shao said coldly: "Take the messenger down to rest!" β
Without saying anything, the two guards set up the messenger and left. Yuan Shao threw the holy decree on the handsome case and said, "Let's talk about it!" What to do about this? β
"Lord!" Guo Tu arched his hand and smiled: "Entering Beijing to welcome the emperor naturally has advantages and disadvantages!" Profit is to occupy the righteousness, and you can coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes! The disadvantage is that it is easy to produce internal contradictions, and when the lord rules the world, is it to respect the Han or to represent the Han? Zun Han turned all kinds of credit into flowing water, but Dai Han was suspected of usurping the throne. β
"This..."Yuan Shao hesitated, he couldn't help asking, "Is that welcome, or not?" β
"Naturally, it's welcome!" Feng Ji said with a smile: "The lord has righteousness in hand, and after he dominates the world, is it to respect the Han, or to represent the Han, or is it not the lord who makes a decision?" β
"Of course not!" Xin Ping sneered: "If the emperor is ushered in, is the lord of Jizhou the lord or the emperor?" Aren't you afraid that the emperor will be anti-guest? β
"The lord is in power, the emperor is just a puppet, with the lord's talent, why be afraid?" The relationship between the trial and Feng Ji has always been good, and he naturally supports Feng Ji.
"No!" Seeing that the judge spoke up, Guo Tu smiled and said: "If the lord sends troops to welcome the emperor, and Gongsun Zhan attacks from Youzhou, what should I do?" β
"This..."The four strategists were divided into two factions, Yuan Shao was so strategic, he couldn't help asking: "Princes, is it to welcome or not?" β
As soon as Yuan Shao's words came out, there was a sudden uproar in the conference hall, Guo Tu, Judge, Feng Ji, and Xin Ping each had their own opinions, and the noisy Yuan Shao's head was big!
"Princess!" Yuan Shao really couldn't stand it anymore, he roared loudly: "Why don't you call Ziyuan and ask him what he means?" β
Everyone looked at each other and found that it was indeed not a way to quarrel like this, so Guo Tu and the four of them agreed to Yuan Shao's method. Soon, Xu You, who was dealing with government affairs, was called by Yuan Shao. After knowing Yuan Shao's distress, Xu You also fell into hesitation. Making decisions is not what a counselor should do!
Xu You looked at Guo Tu and the four of them very hesitantly, only to see that they were all looking at him with a longing eye. Xu You's scalp tingled, and it was the first time he felt such a huge pressure.
Suddenly, Guo Tu's eyes rolled, he pulled his sleeve and stretched out three fingers, Xu You's eyes suddenly lit up. Maybe others don't understand what Guo Tu means, but Xu You, who used to do business with Guo Tu, understands that Guo Tu is saying: "Support me and give you 3,000 gold." β
Xu You is not an ordinary greed, he shook his head and stretched out a slap, meaning: "I want five thousand gold." β
Seeing this, Guo Tu nodded again and again, he was afraid that Xu You would not agree. Although Feng Ji, Xian Pei, and Yuan Shao all stared at Xu You, no one noticed that he and Guo Tu had negotiated a deal so quickly.
