Chapter 324 Offering the Emperor to Xuchang
A war ended without danger, and after cleaning up the battlefield, Cao Cao suddenly became a little overjoyed. After the first battle, not only did he lose nothing, but he won countless losses. Bai Ma Yixian never lost at all, not even a single injured person, and although the wolf soldiers were somewhat damaged, they were all harmless.
Looking at the wolf soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield, Cao Cao explained to Zhao Fei, and then took a few personal soldiers towards the imperial city.
The imperial city can only be in the main hall, and Emperor Xian has already received the news that Cao Cao has defeated the Xiliang army. For this news, Emperor Xian was shocked. He knows the horror of the Xiliang Army. However, Cao Cao was able to defeat the Xiliang army with only more than 2,000 people, and it was obvious that the soldiers under Cao Cao's command were also extremely powerful.
Through this war, Emperor Xian deeply realized that Cao Cao's strength could be described as unfathomable. With only 2,000 people, it is absolutely unthinkable that the well-armed Xiliang soldiers can be defeated, if this thing is placed in Chang'an. In particular, Cao Cao's two thousand soldiers were almost unharmed, which shocked Emperor Xian and a kind of minister.
"I don't know what you Aiqing think about this?" With a worried look, Emperor Xian asked several high-ranking ministers of His Highness. Looking at Emperor Xian's expression, it was obvious that he felt a little uncertain about the future he was looking for.
Hearing Emperor Xian's words, His Royal Highness's ministers all showed a look of distress. Cao Cao's strength exceeded everyone's expectations, and everyone was afraid, so he escaped from the wolf's den and entered the tiger's mouth. However, according to the situation first, even if you don't want to enter the tiger's mouth, you must know that there is nothing to eat around Luoyang City, and if you stay in Luoyang, the eating and drinking of your hundreds of people will become a big problem.
"Even if this Yanzhou is a tiger's den in Longtan, we have to create a breakthrough." Dong Cheng groaned for a while, and then said to Emperor Xian and His Royal Highness's ministers.
Hearing Dong Cheng's words, all the ministers present nodded approvingly. His own people have been driven to a dead end, if they can't make a decision, everyone present will definitely starve to death in this Luoyang City.
"What General Dong said is true, it is already a moment of crisis, and if we don't make a decision, we will definitely starve to death in this palace." Another minister agreed.
As soon as the minister finished speaking, Cao Cao walked in from outside the door. After everyone saw Cao Cao, they all showed a trace of worry.
"Wechen knocks to see Your Majesty." Cao Cao came to Emperor Xian, knelt down and said.
"Cao Aiqing is flat." Seeing Cao Cao, a trace of fear flashed in Emperor Xian's eyes. There is no way, Cao Cao's strength is too strong, and he has to worry about the new life of Emperor Xian.
Cao Cao stood up, and then stepped forward and said: "Weichen is not as good as the mission, and all the enemies who come to attack will be annihilated." Cao Cao said with a hint of pride, it was obvious that Cao was still very satisfied with today's battle.
Hearing Cao Cao's words, Emperor Xian's mood was a little uneasy. Emperor Xian, who drove away Li Dao's chasing soldiers, was naturally relieved, but thinking of his fate in the future, Emperor Xian was a little worried, worried about what kind of treatment he would encounter.
But despite this, Emperor Xian still said with a smile: "Cao Aiqing is really a hero of my Han Dynasty, and I think that the Xiliang Army is not General Cao's opponent." Today, General Cao has made meritorious contributions to protecting me, and he should be rewarded. ”
Cao Cao's face was expressionless, and after Emperor Xian finished speaking, Cao Cao spoke again: "The matter of the reward will be discussed later, and now it should be the safety of the saint first." The saint is in Luoyang, which is obviously in danger, and I hope that His Majesty can leave for Yanzhou as soon as possible. Only in this way can Wechen ensure the safety of the saint. ”
Emperor Xian groaned for a while, then nodded slightly and said: "What Cao Aiqing said is good, since this is the case, then according to what Cao Aiqing said, we will return to Yanzhou with Cao Aiqing tomorrow." ”
Hearing this, Cao Cao was secretly happy in his heart, but his face was expressionless and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty Shengming, I will go down and prepare." After speaking, Cao Cao gave a salute to Emperor Xian, and then turned around and walked down.
Out of the main hall, Cao Cao saw Zhao Fei standing aside with a hint of a smile. Coming to Zhao Fei's side, Zhao Fei suddenly said: "Seeing Meng De's happy face, it is obvious that the general trend has been achieved. ”
Cao Cao nodded and said: "I can't hide anything from Pengju, that's right, the saint has promised, and I will leave for Yanzhou tomorrow." ”
Zhao Fei shook his head and was silent.
Seeing Zhao Fei's appearance, Cao Cao was a little puzzled, and then asked: "It is a strategy that everyone agrees with the Son of Heaven to order not to obey, but why are you sullen?" ”
"Where there are advantages and disadvantages, although it is advantageous for the emperor to go to Yanzhou, the disadvantages should not be underestimated." Zhao Fei shook his head and expressed the worry in his heart.
Listening to Zhao Fei's words, Cao Cao didn't have any expression, he saw Cao Cao smile slightly, and then opened his mouth Zhao Fei said: "There are always countless tribulations in life, but only with these tribulations can we become stronger." If there were no such tribulations in life, what a joy would there be in life. ”
"Hahaha!" After listening to Cao Cao's words, Zhao Fei suddenly laughed a few times. Then, Zhao Fei said to Cao Cao: "Meng De's words are reasonable. Life in the world is to live chic, if you stagnate because of some small things, it is really better to die. ”
Cao Cao looked at Zhao Fei, and then the two met again and laughed. After laughing, the two went down to rest, after all, they had been on the road for so long and had experienced a war, which made both of them somewhat tired.
The next day, Zhao Fei and Cao Cao got up early, and then the two went to the main hall to meet Emperor Xian.
In the main hall, the emperor is also ready. Although he was apprehensive, he was also quite helpless, and he was a little surprised to see Cao Cao walk in with a young man.
"Cao Aiqing, who is this?" Pointing to Zhao Fei behind Cao Cao, Emperor Xian asked.
"This is the minister of the micro-minister, and the minister on whom the micro-minister relies the most." Cao Cao opened his mouth to introduce Emperor Xian, and Zhao Fei also stepped forward and bowed to Emperor Xian.
Hearing that Cao Cao actually introduced his advisers like this, Emperor Xian was obviously stunned. After all, Zhao Fei was still very young, and such a young person was so respected by Cao Cao, which obviously surprised Emperor Xian.
Seeing the appearance of Emperor Xian, Cao Cao opened his mouth and said to Emperor Xian: "I can sit firmly in the history of Yanzhou Thorn, all by relying on Pengju's talent, if there is no Pengju, I would have lost Yanzhou earlier than me." ”
Emperor Xian glanced at Zhao Fei in surprise, and then heard Cao Cao say: "This is not the time to speak, when Your Majesty arrives in Xuchang, we can talk to Your Majesty all night." ”
Emperor Xian nodded, and then said, "Lone is ready, let's leave here." ”
"No!" Cao Cao and Zhao Fei said in unison, and then the two of them walked out of the hall together.
Outside the main hall, the wolves and the soldiers of the White Horse were fully prepared early, and everyone waited outside the hall for a while, and Emperor Xian walked out with a group of ministers.
Outside the palace, Cao Cao had already prepared a carriage for Emperor Xian, although the carriage was a little simple, but now this situation can only be like this.
After waiting for the emperor to get into the carriage, everyone drove slowly towards the tiger prison. It's not comparable to going back, because with Emperor Xian and a group of frail ministers, even if Cao Cao is anxious, the speed of the march can't be improved.
In this way, everyone finally came to the pass of the Tiger Prison with fear all the way. Looking at the majestic and magnificent Tiger Prison Pass, Emperor Xian's heart was full of emotion. In this life, he has been in exile, from the earliest Luoyang, to the former Chang'an, and then to the upcoming Xuchang.
After passing the Tiger Prison Pass, both Zhao Fei and Cao Cao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in their hearts. When you get to your own territory, you don't need to be so worried, and when you get to your own territory, the soldiers can rest assured.
When he arrived at the Tiger Prison Pass, Emperor Xian's car also became a luxurious carriage, and the ministers also had a different treatment. This made both the emperor and the ministers present feel comfortable.
occupied the light of the emperor, and Zhao Fei also replaced it with a carriage. After getting into the carriage, Zhao Fei's heart was much better, after all, the feeling of riding in the carriage was much better than riding a horse.
After another slow journey, Cao Cao finally escorted Emperor Xian to the city of Xuchang.
Outside Xuchang City, Xun Yu had already ordered hundreds of officials to greet him, and when he saw this picture, Emperor Xian suddenly felt his heart twitch slightly. I have been an emperor for so many years, and it is the first time I feel the majesty of the emperor.
got out of the carriage and looked at the civil and military officials kneeling on the ground, Emperor Xian waved his hand slightly and said, "The Qing family is flat." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The ministers said in a deep voice, and then they all got up.
"Your Majesty, Weichen has set up a palace for Your Majesty, and I hope that Your Majesty will go to rest with your ministers first." Xun Yu came to Emperor Xian's side and said to Emperor Xian in a deep voice.
"You are?" Looking at Xun Yu, Emperor Xian asked. He could feel that Xun Yu respected him from the bottom of his heart, and this kind of respect for the emperor could only be experienced by a few close ministers.
"Back to Your Majesty's words, Weichen is Sima Xun Yu Xun Wenruo under the rule of Yanzhou Thorn History." Xun Yu said respectfully.
Emperor Xian nodded and said, "I'm a disciple of the Xun family." "The Xun family has done their best to be loyal to their ministers, and Emperor Xian knows this very well.
"The children of the Xun family are all loyal ministers of our Han Dynasty, and presumably Xun Sima is also a loyal minister of my Han Dynasty." Looking at Xun Yu, Emperor Xian nodded and said.
"Your Majesty is serious, and please go down with your ministers to rest." Xun Yu gave a salute to the emperor.
Emperor Xian nodded, and then walked towards Xuchang City.
Xuchang City is magnificent, although it is not as good as Luoyang and Chang'an, but compared to other cities, Xuchang City is still very majestic.
Looking at the tall city walls of Xuchang City, Emperor Xian's heart settled down a lot. With such a majestic city and the protection of majestic soldiers, Emperor Xian can finally settle his heart.
