Chapter 69: Luoyang Turmoil

"Ziyu did a great job."

When Wei Tao brought people to Yuzhou to find Cao Cao, Wei Tao's deeds of breaking through Guangzong and killing Zhang Liang had spread all over the world.

I don't know what the princes of the court thought, they also killed Zhang Bao, but in the mouths of the princes of the court, it was Wei Tao who made more contributions.

Wei Tao's reputation is not bad among scholars.

In particular, the name of filial piety has won the praise of many people, and now Zhang Liang, who is among the leaders of the Yellow Turban bandits, has allowed Wei Tao to get a lot of praise.

There are quite a few families who have been harmed by the yellow scarf.

"I'm afraid that in some time, the imperial court will officially issue an order. When the time comes, Ziyu, you can be a good person, and you will have a smooth future in the future. ”

Cao Cao was obviously quite idle, and he even had time to make fun of Wei Tao, which made Wei Tao shake his head slightly.

Brother Meng De laughed. And the elder brother pacified the entire Yuzhou with the power of one person, and his achievements are even greater, presumably the good news of the elder brother's promotion is already on the way! ”

Yes, there are basically not many yellow scarves on the surface of Yuzhou today.

Under Cao Cao's strong blows, the Yellow Turban Army fled, hidden, and no longer had the same great momentum as before.

While Cao Cao and Wei Tao were talking, an angel came to the camp, and it was pointed out that there was a decree to be issued to Wei Tao and Cao Cao.

"The angel came at this time?"

Wei Tao was also very surprised, he had just returned to Yuzhou, could it be that there was a reward?

Thinking of this, Wei Tao was also slightly excited in his heart.

The biggest difficulty for a prophet is that he knows what will happen in the future and is difficult to prepare, because of his age, Wei Tao has not really been able to get much support, and he has not been able to recruit troops justifiably.

can only take advantage of various situations to promote their own reputation and prepare for the future.

So really, Wei Tao is also very keen to be rewarded by official positions.

But this time it is obviously quite different, as soon as the angel arrives, it is to let Wei Tao and Cao Cao listen to the edict, although the two of them are strange in their hearts, but they also listen to the edict according to their words

"The edict said: Wei Tao, Wei Ziyu, Cao Cao, Cao Mengde are all loyal and courageous ministers, and the eradication of the yellow scarf is meritorious, and the special order is to enter Beijing immediately to give a reward. June of the first year of Zhongping. ”

Zhongping's era name is this year's Yellow Turban Riot, and Emperor Ling of Han specially ordered to change the era name.

"The ministers are ordered!"

This will is true, Wei Tao and Cao Cao naturally obeyed the order, but obviously the angel was in a hurry, and he directly opened his mouth to urge.

"The saint is waiting for the two generals to return to Luoyang, and I ask the two generals not to delay, and to set off at our house immediately."

"Dare to ask my father-in-law, why is this?"

This time it was Wei Tao's 'acquaintance' Cui Ying who came in a hurry, so Wei Tao didn't have so many scruples, so he asked directly.

In fact, both Wei Tao and Cao Cao were curious.

Even if Emperor Han Ling wanted to reward his ministers, he would not be in such a hurry to issue an edict.

"This is an important matter, don't ask too much, you will know when you arrive in Luoyang. Now the task is to settle in the army early, and then return to Luoyang with me. ”

It's a pity that Cui Ying said seriously, Rao is so, Wei Tao and Cao Cao also felt that something was wrong this time, and they didn't dare to delay too much.

The handover of military power naturally cannot be so simple, but with the will of the saint, Cao Cao also has to step up the handover.

Fortunately, at this time, the Yellow Turban Army in Yuzhou had been expelled, so the rest was just to bring the army back, so although the transfer of military power was urgent, there was no fear that anything unusual would happen.

The horses galloped, and Wei Tao and Cao Cao soon returned to Luoyang.

As soon as they returned to Luoyang, Wei Tao and Cao Cao felt that something was wrong.

The whole Luoyang seems to be filled with an extremely tense atmosphere, from time to time there are soldiers patrolling the road, as long as it is a pedestrian walking on the street, from time to time it is to be drunk and interrogated in detail.

"Why is that?"

Wei Tao could feel that if it weren't for the Han sergeant next to him, I am afraid that those soldiers would even interrogate him and others.

"Father-in-law Cui, since you have arrived in Luoyang, if there is anything, please speak up, if there is something wrong with us, please also ask your father-in-law to help."

While speaking, Wei Tao slid the gold and silver into Cui Ying's hands, and Cui Ying, who got the gold and silver, finally smiled slightly, and then sighed softly.

"Alas...... Since we have arrived in Luoyang, our family always has to mention one or two. As for His Majesty's side, I'm afraid it won't be a summons for a while, and our family can talk to the two generals. ”

Wei Tao and Cao Cao glanced at each other, but they were a little confused.

In such a hurry, the two of them rushed back to Luoyang, but after returning to Luoyang, they didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, which was really confusing.

"Actually, this time it's not just the two generals, in fact, His Majesty also issued an edict to let the other generals come back together. These include General Yuan Shao, General Yuan Shu, General Yu Qiong, and so on. ”

Hearing Cui Ying's words, Wei Tao and Cao Cao were a little confused, and Wei Tao immediately arched his hand and said.

"Please also ask your father-in-law to make it clear."

"Actually, it's a good thing for you."

Cui Ying finally didn't sell anything anymore, and let out a long sigh of relief, with a hint of fear on her face.

"Some time ago, not long after the heads of the two bandit leaders Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao were delivered to the imperial court, there was a rebellion of Yellow Turban bandits in Luoyang......"

"What!"

Wei Tao and Cao Cao were shocked, there was still a Yellow Turban Rebellion in Luoyang?

"Is my father-in-law serious? Didn't the Yellow Turban bandit Ma Yuanyi have already been beheaded, and Tang Zhou had already captured all the bandits hiding in Luoyang? How will there still be a Yellow Turban Rebellion? ”

Wei Tao was even more anxious in his heart, so he quickly stepped forward and asked again.

It's okay that Zhang Jiao didn't die in Guangzong, after all, Zhang Jiao died of illness in history, and Wei Tao believes that even if he can escape, he won't live long.

However, Wei Tao didn't remember that after the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, there would still be a Yellow Turban Rebellion in Luoyang.

All the yellow scarves hidden in Luoyang should have been betrayed by Tang Zhou, and after capturing Ma Yuanyi, they were swept away.

"Humph! There was such a big mistake, so Tang Zhou was already in prison, and I don't know how he became the apprentice of the bandit, and he didn't know about the Yellow Turban bandits in Luoyang. ”

Cui Ying first scolded hatefully before speaking.

"After the rebellion broke out, we learned from the traitor Tang Zhou that the layout of Luoyang was all taken care of by Ma Yuanyi, and Tang Zhou himself only knew some people. Tang Zhou is like this, so that the holy driver is also disturbed, it is really damned! ”

"What does my father-in-law mean that Tang Zhou dared to report his merits for the sake of merit, and bluntly said that all the Yellow Turban bandits would be exterminated?"

Wei Tao easily understood what Cui Ying meant, if so, he could indeed set off a rebellion in Luoyang.

"But Luoyang is a major place in Jinggi, and the soldiers are wide, so even if there are some bandits, how can they disturb the holy driver?"

"A little bit of a gangster? More than 1,000 Yellow Turban rebellions are also a little banditry? ”

Cui Ying was obviously also frightened by the yellow scarf, and couldn't help but show a mocking smile when she mentioned it.

"The sudden rebellion of more than a thousand yellow turbans is enough, but it almost entered the palace. Now His Majesty is furious, and several important people who are guarding Gyeonggi have been directly imprisoned to await disposal, and even the general has been reprimanded. Now His Majesty is angry in his head, and he even ordered Zhang Liang and the two thieves to be hung outside the city gate, and their people were thoroughly investigated day and night. ”

"We didn't see any heads when we entered the city."

Cao Cao frowned slightly, even Wei Tao couldn't remember it clearly, but Cao Cao could remember.

"This is exactly what makes Your Majesty more and more angry, those two heads only disappeared after three hours, and Your Majesty was directly angry under the anger, and at the same time ordered the recall of all meritorious generals."

Cui Ying sighed again, although the positions of these eunuchs are not high, they really deserve to be people in the palace, and the news is really very well-informed.

"All the generals have made great contributions in the battle against the Yellow Turban, and they can be said to be the nemesis of the Yellow Turban, and now the Gyeonggi Heavy Land is probably going to be handed over to the generals to guard."

Hearing Cui Ying say this, Wei Tao and Cao Cao were quite surprised, and when they were about to ask, Cui Ying kept silent again.

However, he already knew that he was going to be reused, even Cao Cao was quite happy, but when he thought of the scourge of the yellow turban, Cao Cao angrily scolded him for disturbing the world, and his expression was different for a while.

Wei Tao, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and Yu Qiong have already urgently recalled five people, although their merits are different, but in this time they have killed a lot of Yellow Turban troops in the pacification of the Yellow Turbans, which can be regarded as a great meritorious achievement.

However, Emperor Han Ling has been without a will after everyone returned.

According to the information found by Cao Cao, this time Emperor Han Ling was first frightened by the rebellion, and then he was annoyed by the actions of the Yellow Turban, and he was sick in bed for a while.

In this way, it is natural to ignore Wei Tao and the others.

In this regard, even after the fourth and third princes like Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, they can't, but since Wei Tao and Cao Cao can get the before and after Britain from Cui Ying's mouth, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu will naturally be able to know.

Even compared to Cao Cao and Wei Tao, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu know more, and they are all good when they see each other on weekdays.

However, compared to Yuan Shao's treatment of Wei Tao, it is still a harmonious spring breeze, but Yuan Shu has always been blind to Wei Tao.

In this regard, Wei Tao is naturally helpless, but thinking about it, Yuan Shu is a little disdainful of Cao Cao, and it is also clear that he is like this.

It wasn't until January later that Emperor Ling of Han returned to the court, and this time Emperor Ling of Han directly summoned Wei Tao and five others.
