Chapter 229: Welcoming Emperor Cao Cao to become a general
readx;
Outside Luoyang City, Li Le and Hu Caile marched forward, only to see Yang Feng and a big man riding horses. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Li Le hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Old Yang, I haven't seen you for many years, are you okay?" ”
"Lao Li, why did you come to Luoyang!" Seeing that it was an acquaintance, Yang Feng was not easy to lose face. What's more, Li Le and Hu Cai are both white wave and yellow turban thieves with him, and the relationship is still good.
"Lao Yang, you are not righteous!" Hu Cai took a step forward, and Yang Feng hurriedly made a defensive posture. Hu Cai sneered: "Lao Yang, when you become an official, you forgot your brother in the past? ”
Being sarcastically ridiculed by Hu Cai, Yang Feng put away his weapon in a daze, and said with a slightly red face: "Brother Hu, why did you come to Luoyang?" Wouldn't it be a great sin to be shocked by the Holy Driver? ”
"Emperor, if you keep it, our brother can't keep it?" Li Le also looked sarcastic, and seemed to look down on Yang Feng.
"Joke!" The big man beside Yang Feng smiled: "Just a yellow turban thief, dare to say that you are not ashamed?" ”
"What are you? There's no room for you to speak here! Hu Cai thought that the big man was Yang Feng's subordinate, so he was a little disrespectful.
"You're looking for death!" The big man was furious and swung his knife, Hu Cai hurriedly resisted, and with only one knife, Hu Cai was actually beheaded under the horse!
"You..." Yang Feng and Li Le were shocked, Li Le pointed to the big man and asked, "Who are you?" How dare you be so presumptuous! ”
"Yanzhou Assassin Shi Cao Ying's general Xiahou Dun!" The big man said with a big knife in his hand: "I am ordered to protect it!" ”
"You come to protect it, and we come to protect it, why do you kill people?" Li Le's face was indignant, his eyes widened, and he seemed to be fighting with Xiahou Dun!
"The little white wave yellow turban thief, dare to talk about protection? Surrender now, and I'll spare you, and by the way, I'll give you a chance to take over! Xiahou Dun was full of smiles, but the cold light flashed in his eyes, believing that as long as the two did not match, Li Leding would be the soul of his sword.
"Good!" Li Le said with a look of resentment: "I heard that Cao Mengde is at war with Lu Bu, I want to see how many troops he has, and he can compete with my tens of thousands of yellow turbans!" ”
"Look over there!" Xiahou Dun pointed his finger in the direction of the Tiger Pass, only to see a cloud of dust raised not far away, and a general holding a long knife rode his horse to Xiahou Dun's side.
"Yuan Rang, even if you are a pioneer, you don't have to run so fast!" The person who came said with a dissatisfied face: "I have 50,000 people with me, and I am so tired of chasing!" ”
"Man Cheng, how long will it take for the eldest brother to arrive?" Xiahou Dun asked casually, and Li Le's heart was shocked when he listened!
"The lord is behind!" Li Dian also found that the atmosphere was wrong, so he asked his subordinates to be ready to attack at any time.
"Am I still not going to be able to go?" Seeing that Xiahou was powerful, Li Le reflexively wanted to return to his own formation.
"Where?" Xiahou Dun clasped his ears and said, "Did I let you go?" ”
"General, you and I are here to protect you, why do you bother me?" Li Le was completely convinced, no matter whether Cao Ying fought with Lu Bu or not, now there are 50,000 elite soldiers, and they are definitely not under Li Le's command, and some Yellow Turban thieves can fight against them.
"Didn't you dare to be so presumptuous because our army was fighting with Lu Bu?" Xiahou Dun sneered: "Lu Bu, he is just a brave and unscrupulous horseman, even with the help of Chen Gong, how can he be the opponent of our army?" If you dare to come, don't go! ”
"How dare Piffon do that!" Li Le was furious, he and Hu Cai originally wanted to be an official and a half-job, but who expected that as soon as they arrived in Luoyang, they were beheaded Hu Cai, and now it seems that Xiahou Dun doesn't even want to let him go!
"Man Cheng..."Xiahou Dun shouted, after all, he was only a pioneer. The duty of the vanguard is to open roads in the mountains and build bridges in the water, and does not include engaging the enemy. Of course, it's not that you can't engage the enemy, it's just that the vanguard confronts the enemy, and it's easy to say if you win, and you will be punished if you lose. This is also the reason why when the battle is lost, the main general is often fine, but the vanguard is beheaded.
"Don't worry!" How can there be a general who doesn't want to make military exploits, Li Dian wanted to do it when he heard that Li Le was a yellow turban thief, but Xiahou Dun's status in the Cao army was higher than him, and if Xiahou Dun didn't give an order, he would not be able to overstep!
"Two generals..."Seeing that the atmosphere between Li Le and General Cao Jun became tense, Yang Feng hurriedly persuaded: "Li Qushuai is also a well-intentioned escort, the two of you don't have to be like this!" ”
"Escort, I look like a hijacking!" Xiahou Dun pursed his lips with a look of disdain.
Just when Xiahou Dun and Li Le were in a stalemate, a group of people arrived, and the leader was Dong Cheng. Dong Cheng looked at this atmosphere and couldn't help but ask very puzzledly, "What's wrong?" ”
"Baibo Yellow Turban Qu Shuai Qian came to escort him, and there was a misunderstanding with this general, so there was a little conflict!" Yang Feng hurriedly said in Dong Cheng's ear: "Guozhang, Cao Ying is powerful, if he is allowed to welcome His Majesty, we will have few soldiers in our hands, won't we have to rely on people in the future?" It's better to let Li Le be our person! There are still tens of thousands of white wave and yellow turban thieves! ”
Dong Chengneng mixed with the national abbot, naturally he was not stupid, hearing Yang Feng say this, he hurriedly laughed and said: "What should I do!" His Majesty was in trouble in Luoyang, so he ordered people from all over the country to come and escort him. Since General Li is the escort, he is naturally welcome! This general, it's just a misunderstanding! ”
"Who is this lord?" Xiahou Dun and Li Dian didn't know Dong Cheng, so naturally they couldn't rush into each other.
"Under is the national abbot Dong Cheng, the general who leads the chariot and rides!" Dong Cheng saluted on the horse, and Xiahou Dun and Li Dian hurriedly returned the salute when they heard this.
"Since it's the national abbot who intercedes, then forget it!" Xiahou Dun can not give Yang Feng face, after all, Yang Feng is just an ordinary general, and he is still a Yellow Turban general. But Dong Cheng is the national ruler and one of the important ministers of the country. Xiahou Dun didn't want to cause trouble for Cao Ying.
Everyone returned to Luoyang with the troops, and Dong Cheng had already sent a small colonel to report the matter to Liu Xie. Liu Xie heard that it was Cao Ying who came to greet him, so he naturally relaxed. However, when it was time to eat, Luoyang City was in a commotion again.
Xiahou Dun and Li Dian arrived first, so they naturally had military rations, but they only got one for Liu Xie. The Manchu civil and military, palace maids, and eunuchs had no soldiers and no power, so they could only starve, and Yang Feng and Dong Cheng quit doing it, so they went to ask Xiahou Dun for military rations. Xiahou Dun is not good at stubble, he gave Dong Cheng a batch of grain, but he didn't give it to Yang Feng. In Xiahou Dun's words, Dong Cheng is the national abbot, what kind of thing is Yang Feng? The remnants of the Yellow Turban! This can make Yang Feng's face turn blue with anger, but the 50,000 elite soldiers are blocked there, and Yang Feng can only knock out his front teeth and swallow blood no matter how much he has an opinion.
In the evening, Cao Ying finally arrived with his troops. At the former site of Weiyang Palace, in the dilapidated hall, Liu Xie received Cao Ying. Seeing that Cao Yingfeng was handsome and luxurious, Liu Xie was really a little jealous. However, soon this jealousy was gone, because Cao Ying pulled out a pot of chicken soup.
Holding the chicken soup offered by Cao Ying, Liu Xie's eyes were in tears, he hadn't tasted chicken soup for at least three years. Opening the copper kettle, the fragrance of chicken soup wafted in the dilapidated hall, and the civil and military officials, palace maids, and eunuchs of the Manchu Dynasty swallowed a mouthful of saliva together. Except for those ministers who are quite valuable, the others have not smelled meat for several years.
"Cao Aiqing's loyal minister!" With excitement, Liu Xie drank the chicken soup. Cao Ying immediately arranged a banquet, and the big fish and meat served Liu Xie a table. The civil and military officials, who were still swallowing saliva just now, collectively turned green now.
"Someone! Serve food to adults! "Since you want to use Liu Xie, you have to feed these ministers. Otherwise, how could Cao Ying hook them back? As for staying in Luoyang, Cao Yingxiang didn't think about it, he didn't want to be neighbors with Liu Zhang.
At a flowing water feast, the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty who ate had tears on their faces, and the palace maids and eunuchs were waiting on the side, but their eyes were red and their saliva was swallowing. To be honest, the things that Cao Ying presented were really nothing, even the leftovers in the palace back then were not necessarily worse than these things. But the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty haven't eaten a meal for at least five or six years, and these things are heartwarming!
After eating and drinking, Liu Xie looked at the civil and military officials with red faces, and then looked at Cao Ying, who was standing solemnly on the side, and said with great satisfaction: "Cao Aiqing has made a meritorious contribution to saving the driver, and has also served so much food, I..."
"Your Majesty!" Cao Ying interrupted Liu Xie's words, and Liu Xie frowned a little unhappily. But I heard Cao Ying say: "The ministers have received the grace of the country, and some small things have been given by the previous kings!" Now the minister is just returning the things of the court to His Majesty, which is not a credit! ”
"Cao Aiqing is really a loyal minister!" Liu Xie was moved, at least at this moment.
Wang Kuang and Zhang Yang sent Su Silk, as if it was a gift, although Liu Xie enjoyed it, he was very unhappy. Not to mention Liu Zhang, he even asked Liu Xie to ask for it in the name of his nephew. Now Cao Ying not only sent food, but also was very modest, which made Liu Xie feel the majesty of being an emperor for the first time, how could he not be moved? This move naturally wants to add an official to Cao Ying!
After adding the official title, Cao Ying said with a smile: "Luoyang is dilapidated and cannot be repaired, and it is also very difficult to transfer grain." Xuchang is close to Luyang, the city is in the palace room, and the money, grain and people are enough to be spared. The minister dared to ask for Xuchang, but His Majesty obeyed! ”
"This..." Liu Xie hesitated, he didn't want to become a puppet again, but he didn't want to even have nothing to eat. After thinking for a while, Liu Xie smiled and asked, "Cao Aiqing, I heard that you were fighting with General Fenwei and Wenhou Lu Bu in Yanzhou, why did you come so quickly?" ”
When Cao Ying heard this, he knew that Liu Xie didn't want to go to Xuchang, so he knocked on the side and said that Yanzhou was not safe. Cao Ying pouted and smiled: "Lu Bu, he is just a brave and unscrupulous person, if it weren't for the Yanzhou locust plague, the minister would have already exterminated him!" In order to be able to come to greet His Majesty as soon as possible, the minister had to do his best to attack. Lu Bu was defeated, and now he has defected to Xuzhou! ”
Hearing that Lu Bu was defeated by Cao Ying, Liu Xie's heart was a little cold. Looking at the appearance of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, Liu Xie knew that he had to be a puppet. In desperation, Liu Xie sighed: "Then it's up to Cao Aiqing!" ”
Liu cooperated with the intention of moving the capital, and Cao Ying inevitably had a lot of dreams at night, so he ordered to leave immediately. Yang Feng was neglected by Cao Ying, and he was already dissatisfied. So, Yang Feng entangled with the white wave and yellow turban thief Li Le to lead his troops to intercept Cao Ying. It's a pity that Yang Feng and Li Le are just a waste, not only failed to intercept Cao Ying, but were said by Cao Ying to demote his general Xu Huang. In desperation, Yang Feng led the remnants of the army to join the beam!
