Chapter 271: Who is the Great General

Hearing that Cao Cāo was coming, Empress Dowager Dong hurriedly urged Yuan Shao to pick up Cao Cāo in. In fact, Empress Dowager Dong doesn't know much about Cao Cāo, she has been in the deep palace for many years, and she doesn't know much about things in the court, and Cao Cāo's official position is not high, and she is in the Yulin Army, so she doesn't know much, but she has only heard people mention it a few times recently, and she has an impression.

However, now the Empress Dowager Dong is a person who has fallen into the water, and she has to hold on to the straw tightly in her hand when she sees it, not to mention that Cao Cāo also brought a large number of courtiers, and when she really dozed off, she sent a hot pillow, of course she was happy, and as soon as she was happy, she naturally had a lot of green eyes on Cao Cāo

Yuan Shao saw that Empress Dowager Dong attached great importance to Cao Cāo, he was unhappy, although he and Cao Cāo used to be friends, but because He Jin was stirring in the middle, Wang Yun connected with the halberd, he and Cao Cāo became estranged, the relationship was getting worse and worse, and there was no timely repair of the relationship, after Cao Cāo left Beijing, he never came back, and now he has become his competitor again.

In this case, the two of them now not only cannot be called friends, but also enemies, at least in private, Yuan Shao will be wary of Cao Cāo, and it is certain that Cao Cāo will not be much at ease with Yuan Shao.

Cao Cāo had already entered the city, Yuan Shao wanted to stop it too late, he promised the Empress Dowager Dong, strode out of the courtyard, did not get on the horse directly, but walked slowly along the avenue, he called his henchmen, let the henchmen go to Yuan Kui, to deal with the upcoming minister, but also Yuan Kui to make a move, no matter how tired the uncle is, he has to hold on

Not far away, I saw dozens of people running in front, the first one was Cao Cāo, but Wang Yun was not among them, it is estimated that Wang Yun was walking with the ministers, and Cao Cāo was here to fight the front station.

Yuan Shao had a smile on his face, strode forward, and shouted, "Brother Meng De, don't come to harm?" ”

Cao Cāo saw that Yuan Shao came on foot, and he knew in his heart, Yuan Shao walked over, and he had to walk to accompany him, and there must be something on the way that he jumped off the horse, threw the reins of the horse to the general, and also strode forward, arching his hand and saying: "Brother Benchu, I don't see you, you have lost a lot of weight."

When the two arrived, Yuan Shao sighed and said: "The country is in an eventful season, it's normal for me to lose weight, you look at my hair, these rìzi, sideburns are a lot whiter" He took off his hat and pointed to his hair.

Cao Cāo saw that Yuan Shao's sideburns were really whiter, and he also sighed and said, "It's hard work, brother." By the way, the Queen Mother and the Crown Prince are here? On the way, I heard that they were coming here, and according to the footsteps, they must have arrived at you, right? ”

He looked in the direction of the gate, saw the Queen Mother's car, and knew in his heart that the Empress Dowager Dong had arrived, and it had not been long since she arrived.

Yuan Shao nodded and said, "I just arrived, and I am talking to General Gongsun and me." General Gongsun is Gongsun Zhan, from Liaodong, you may have heard of it before, it is the person who calls himself General Baima. ”

Cao Cāo sighed, in fact, he hadn't heard of it, Gongsun Chan was a little famous in the local area, but the fame was not big enough to spread to Luoyang, and Cao Cāo was busy with other things all day long, how could he have spare time to care about a local general.

Cao cāo said: "Do you know about the matter over there in Luoyang?" ”

Yuan Shao nodded and said, "I just learned that you came from the east, so you should have known it a long time ago, right?" What can I do? ”

The two men walked not fast, side by side, and there was still some distance from the gate, and the attendants were quite far away, so that they could whisper, and they should have a meeting.

Cao Cāo shook his head and said, "I know, but I didn't know it earlier." Li Qin was quite cautious, and he didn't reveal any news beforehand, and suddenly announced to the outside world, saying that the new monarch had ascended the throne, and my colleagues and I didn't even have time to react, let alone deal with it, and now we can only accept the fact that the third son of the emperor is the emperor."

Yuan Shao said: "Li Qin is good at doing things, you and I are far from being his opponents."

Cao Cāo frowned and whispered, "Brother Ben, don't increase the ambition of others and destroy your own prestige...... However, Li Qin is indeed a great enemy, and you and I can't compete with it. ”

He paused, and then said, "The Queen Mother came with the crown prince, right?" What are your plans for the two of them? ”

Yuan Shao said hesitantly: "You and I know this matter in our hearts, so you don't have to test it, since you are here, you must have discussed it with Wang Yun and those ministers, what are the regulations, just say it now, otherwise it will be inconvenient to go in after a while." ”

Lowering his voice, he said: "As soon as the Queen Mother arrived here, someone pretended to be a member of the royal family and came to talk to her, but the Queen Mother believed it directly without any verification, and asked the prince to call her uncle." If this continues, won't more and more royal relatives come out in the future, they don't do anything, they just need to pretend to be a little bit to gain trust, and we will risk death to assist, but we will not be rewarded, maybe it will be very difficult to even see the prince in the future."

Cao Cāo's face changed, and he said, "There is such a thing."

Yuan Shao pouted into the door and said, "It's in the hall, I cried so much just now that I grabbed the sky and the earth, if you hadn't come, maybe I'm still crying now."

Cao Cāo snorted and said, "Brother Ben doesn't have to be angry, although this kind of person who misrecognizes relatives is the most annoying, but it is also the best to deal with, now there are a lot of wars, as long as they are allowed to fight a striker, they will definitely kill them, so I can't think about them much." ”

Yuan Shao hummed, at this time the two of them had already walked to the door, and along the open door, they could already see that in the lobby, Cao Cāo saw that the people inside were getting up, and it seemed that they were going to come out to greet him, although they didn't know each other, but they were just Gongsun Zan and the fake imperial prince.

Taking advantage of the last moment, Yuan Shao whispered: "They are discussing the matter of making the prince the emperor, you must not agree immediately, when Wang Yun and the ministers are here, let's discuss it first, and then talk to the queen mother, the matter is big, and you can't do it."

"I understand," Cao Cāo whispered.

Gongsun Zhan strode out, followed by Liu Bei and Guan Zhang. Gongsun Chan rushed to Cao Cāo and said: "The last general Liaodong Gongsun Chan has seen General Cao"

Cao cāo didn't squeak, and listened to the man behind him: "The last general, Liu Bei, has seen General Cao"

As soon as Cao Cāo heard it, he knew that this person was the fake royal prince, but he was not as "clear as love and hate" like Yuan Shao, but returned the salute to Liu Bei with great enthusiasm, and said loudly: "Brother Tai's surname is Liu, but is he a royal clan?" ”

His attitude was too obvious, ignoring Gongsun Zhan, but he was very enthusiastic about Liu Bei, and asked Liu Bei's background, which was a subtle sowing discord, which made Gongsun Chan unhappy, thinking that in the eyes of others, he was not as important as Liu Bei, the fake royal family, and the two would be dirty in the future

But Cao Cāo didn't know a thing, and Yuan Shao didn't have time to tell him, that is, Gongsun Chan and Liu Bei were classmates, and the two of them wore a pair of pants, and for strangers to sow discord, Gongsun Chan and Liu Bei only regarded it as a joke, and they would not be fooled at all, and if they didn't understand the situation, they wouldn't have the right to speak, but Cao Cāo just spoke, and such a move completely cut off the hope of winning over Gongsun Chan and Liu Bei

Seeing that Cao Cāo was ugly, he didn't know it yet, and Yuan Shao didn't even remind him, just watched the excitement from the sidelines. Of course, even if he watched the excitement, he didn't show any abnormal expression on his face, lest Cao Cāo understand the taste

Liu Bei listened to Cao Cāo's question, and hurriedly said: "According to the genealogy, Bei is indeed a member of the royal family, and he has just recognized the queen mother and the crown prince."

Cao Cāo affectionately pulled Liu Bei's hand and said, "In this way, I will be closer and closer in the future" After that, Cao Cāo came to the door of the lobby, did not enter the door, knelt outside the threshold, cried loudly, and shouted: "The Queen Mother, the Prince, the minister has finally seen you"

Empress Dowager Dong hurriedly beckoned him to come in and speak. Next, the regular drama was staged, crying again, and talking nonsense about the death of the first emperor and Li Qin's establishment of a new monarch, and finally after talking nonsense, the Empress Dowager Dong had a chance to get down to business.

Empress Dowager Dong said: "Cao Qing, Li Qin established Liu Xie as the emperor, this is an edict, Liu Xie became the emperor, but what about our debate, he has not yet ascended the throne, you happen to come with Zhongqing, when will they arrive, it is better to support the establishment of the debate to ascend the throne today, this matter cannot be delayed."

Cao Cāo hurriedly said: "Don't be anxious, the queen mother should not be anxious, halfway through, the ministers and others have already contacted the princes from all over the country and asked them to raise troops to serve the king." My Han Dynasty is in turmoil, there is Li Qin in the chaos of the dynasty, and there are yellow turban thieves who rebel outside, and the ministers should serve the queen mother and the prince to quell the rebels."

Empress Dowager Dong hurriedly said: "Do you mean that you will wait until King Qin's army is here before you will support Li'er to ascend the throne?" ”

Cao Cāo glanced at Yuan Shao next to him, and it happened that Yuan Shao also looked over, and the two of them had a general mind, and said in unison: "The minister thinks that only when the division of King Qin converges can he win the battle, this is a perfect strategy."

The two big heads expressed their stance together, what can an old lady do with Empress Dowager Dong? Can you still scratch them? Now the status is also a tablet, it doesn't mean much, now whoever has a soldier is the boss, and whoever speaks loudly

Empress Dowager Dong looked at Gongsun Zhan, but Gongsun Chan lowered his head, he didn't want to go against Yuan Shao Cao, Mo said that he still had to listen to Yuan Shao's dispatch now, even if he pulled the team out to work alone, he couldn't help Mrs. Dong and go against Yuan Shao's intentions

Empress Dowager Dong looked at Liu Bei again, and Liu Bei immediately said: "The minister thinks that if the name is not right, it is not good, and the top priority at hand is to support the crown prince to ascend the throne, so that the princes can be ordered."

Liu Bei only has a few small soldiers in his hands, if he wants to get benefits, he can only fish in troubled waters, the more chaotic the better, he is barefoot, not afraid of wearing shoes, not to mention that he used to weave straw shoes, and there are many shoes in his hands

But Liu Bei's support alone is not enough, Empress Dowager Dong thought of the ministers who were about to come, but she thought again, Cao cāo is what it means, it is estimated that it was discussed in advance, and the ministers also mean this, but why didn't he, Yuan Shao, and the ministers immediately support the debate? Ah, I see, it's because I didn't give them a knighthood

As soon as Empress Dowager Dong figured out this, she immediately used the means of palace fighting, she said: "Since we want to crusade against the Li thief and the Yellow Turban thief, there is no general in the court, and the snake cannot be without a leader, but I think you are all very good, I don't know which of you should be the general." Otherwise, if any of you can recruit more soldiers and horses, and recruit more princes, whoever will be this great general, how about it? ”

Cao Cāo and Yuan Shao were stunned at the same time, and even Liu Bei and Gongsun Zhan's hearts instantly became hot
