27 Cao Cao fled
"Do nothing?!"
Cao Cao opened his mouth wide in astonishment, stared blankly at the wrinkles on his father Cao Song's face, and whispered.
He didn't understand that today's Luoyang is a good time to seize power, as soon as the captain Dong Zhuo died, the pattern of the court changed, and he was a person with great merit, shouldn't he recruit soldiers and horses at this time to expand his power?
For a moment, his mind was chaotic and completely confused.
"yes, do nothing!"
Cao Song emphasized it again, and his attitude was very resolute.
After a moment of silence, he saw that Cao Cao was still at a loss, and asked in a low voice: "In today's situation, what is the key to stabilizing the court?" Is it inside Luoyang City, or outside Luoyang? ”
The first half of the sentence was okay, which made Cao Cao think about it with all his might, but the second half of the sentence was like a bolt of lightning, which suddenly lit up his entire mind.
Yes, the current pattern of Luoyang cannot only be confined to Luoyang, but must jump out of the whirlpool of Luoyang and pay attention to the outside of Luoyang.
Thinking about it like this, Cao Cao had a clue when he was neutral in his mind, and he had a clue about some things recently.
No wonder, on the night of Dong Zhuo's death, the first thing Wang Yun did was to close the city gate together with Wu Qiong, the captain of the city gate, and then when he failed to capture Lang Zhongling Li Ru as he wished, he asked the saint to worship the former Northern Army Lieutenant He Yan as Lang Zhongling, and asked for an order to appease Li Su, the general of Hu Benzhonglang, and worship him as Guangluxun. Immediately afterwards, it was to worship the Tiger Prison guard Hua Xiong as the general of the five senses, worship the new security guard Xu Rong as the general of the Yulin Zhonglang, and the generals Li Meng and Wang Fang under his command were divided into the left and right prisons of Yulin.
The cause of death of the late Tai Lieutenant Dong Zhuo was not disclosed, only that Dong Zhuo died of a violent illness.
All this shows that in Wang Yun's view, the key to stabilizing the Luoyang court is outside Luoyang, not above the court.
The key point is actually force, not how many people among the courtiers support and how many oppose it.
After figuring out such a key, all the fog disappeared in an instant, and the places that I didn't understand suddenly became clear in an instant.
Looking at it this way, he, one of the court captains of the Nine Qings, is more than a little less important than Li Su's Guangluxun, and the key point is that Li Su has the Tiger Ben Guard in his hand, the only force in Luoyang City that can compete with the guards under the command of the Wei Wei and the City Gate Captain.
And this is just in front of him, the Liliang who can really determine the Luoyang court is not Hua Xiong, the general of the Tiger Prison Pass who has not expressed his position, nor Xu Rong, the general of Yulin Zhonglang who has accepted the appointment of the imperial court and led the army into Hangu Pass, but the elite of the Bingzhou Army and the Western Liang Army who are far away in Hanoi and Hedong.
Therefore, before the exact movements of the elite of the Bingzhou Army and the Xiliang Army were not clarified, the Luoyang Dynasty could only hang here as it had been in the past few days, and it was difficult for Situ Wang Yun to say that he had already controlled the government.
After all, everyone still remembers the scene of the Xiliang Army and the Bingzhou Army brazenly raising troops in Luoyang two months ago, and no one can say whether they will wave their troops in Luoyang and turn this two-hundred-year-old capital of the Han Dynasty upside down.
What's more, these two elite armies have just pacified the rebellion in Hanoi and Hedong, and their military power is unmatched for a while.
Cao Song saw that Cao Cao understood, the smile on his face was even stronger, and with great relief, he continued to click: "Don't do anything, it means inside and outside, you need to do it quickly." ”
"Peiguo?"
"Hmmm! It's Peiguo! ”
Cao Song nodded and replied affirmatively: "The immediate situation, the chaos has begun, if you want to protect the family and defend the country, you must have soldiers in your hands." My father has sent people back to Peiguo to recruit nursing staff members to take precautions. ”
Cao Cao was silent for a moment, and when he raised his head again, there was no confusion in his eyes, and he had made a decision in his heart: "That kid also has to rush back to Peiguo." ”
"I'll just understand!"
At this time, Cao Song completely revealed the relief in his heart and nodded in praise.
It's just that he feels that at this time, it is better for him to mention it in detail.
After pondering for a moment, he continued: "The Luoyang Dynasty situation is now unresolved, and the cause of Dong Zhuo's death has not been disclosed at this time, which is a good opportunity for my son to leave Luoyang and return to Peiguo." Even if the situation is stable, Luoyang is still a place of right and wrong, and it is far better to jump out of this whirlpool safely. My son remembers that if you return to Luoyang one day on the Hatsu Highway one day, it will not be too late for you to return to Luoyang at that time. ”
Cao Cao got up, bowed down to listen, and then asked: "It's better for the child to leave early, but the matter was in a hurry, and he didn't have time to ask Wang Situ for his resignation, so the child left a book and sealed it and went out of the city overnight, annoying his father to say that he was punished by Lord Situ." ”
"Well, go ahead, arrive home safely, remember a handwritten letter, so as not to worry about your father."
Cao Cao said goodbye to his father and returned to his residence, just contemplating for a moment, that is, spreading out the silk silk, and writing the pen like a god, after a while, he wrote the letter left to Situ Wang Yun, collected the luggage, in fact, he didn't need to collect anything at all, when Zuihou sealed the seal of Bao Tingwei, he was just stunned for a moment, and wrapped the Jiuqing seal ribbon that he had harvested for the first time in his life, put it together with the letter, and went out without looking back.
Outside the door, there were more than a dozen entourage guards, all of whom were carrying simple bags and waiting with horses.
Cao Cao turned over and got on his horse, did not speak, did not gesticulate, and took the lead in galloping out of the side door. It wasn't until he galloped out of the east gate of Luoyang and ran out of Li Xu along the gallop road that Cao Cao stopped his horse and looked back at Luoyang City under the moonlight, majestic and majestic, with a lot of emotion in his heart, and said silently: "Luoyang, I will come back after all!" ”
A bright moon has set in the west, no matter how many people on the ground are unintentionally asleep, and how many people are sleeping as usual, it is steadily swaying its own glow.
"Luoyang, we will go back!"
Under the bright moon, Jia Xu was wearing a robe, staring in the direction of Luoyang, and replied in a low but firm voice. Beside him, there was only Han Hao in civilian clothes.
Before Lu Bu led the army to leave, he strictly ordered Zhang Liao and Han Hao to obey the order of Bo Jiaxu, the lord who stayed together, this order was as strange as the military order given by Ding Yuan, the commander of the Bingzhou army, on the night of his death.
The earth-shattering changes that took place in Luoyang City, they didn't know it until now, and when they calculated the time, it was the seventh day of Taiwei Dong Zhuo's violent illness and death, this news was obviously deliberately kept secret, otherwise, according to common sense, what happened in Luoyang would only take three days, and Jia Xu and the three of them could know about it.
Although the information he learned was vague and the statements were different, Jia Xu immediately tasted a strong sense of conspiracy, especially the subsequent change of office, the servant Wang Yun worshiped Situ, the tiger Ben Zhonglang general Li Su worshiped Guangluxun, the Xiaoqi captain Cao Cao worshiped Tingwei, and Lang Zhongling He Yan, so that he understood that this matter was not so simple.
He locked a person in the room and pondered for nearly two hours, and the first order after going out was to order Zhang Liao to lead two thousand light horsemen and enter the wild king.
And the messenger sent to Hedong had already been sent before the order was given to Zhang Liao and Han Hao.
Han Hao was also not sleepy, accompanied by Jia Xu, and after listening to Jia Xu's answer, he didn't know how to speak for a while. He asked Jia Xu if the lieutenant had to lead the army back to Luoyang immediately, but from Jia Xu's answer, he could hear that Jia Xu did not think so.
There was very little news from Luoyang, so little that Han Hao didn't know what was going on at all, but he saw that Jia Xu was confident, and guessed that he should be able to deduce more inside information, but since Jia Xu didn't want to say more, he didn't want to ask more.
The two silently looked at the bright moon in the world, and were silent for a long time, before Jia Xu breathed a sigh of relief, and sighed in a compassionate tone: "The world, from now on, there will be many events." ”
Han Hao was stunned for a moment, and muttered in his heart: "Since the first year of Zhongping, hasn't there been a lot of things in the world, thieves have been everywhere, and the imperial capital Luoyang has been in chaos, will there be more things than now?" ”
Han Hao just held back this question for a while, and then he couldn't help it and asked.
Jia Xu sighed quietly: "The rebellion of the moth thieves, although the momentum is huge, compared with the future, what is it, now, the troubled times have begun, and the world will continue to sword soldiers."
"Huh?!"
Han Hao was shocked, and he couldn't close his mouth halfway.
What does it mean in troubled times, he knows very well in his heart that troubled times mean that the world is turbulent, swords and soldiers are everywhere, groups of heroes are competing for deer, and the people are not able to make a living, which means that human life is as cheap as grass mustard, the wind blows, the grass breaks, and people die.
However, what happened in Luoyang really means that the troubled times have begun?
Han Hao couldn't believe this, but he didn't dare not believe it, because the Jia Xu in front of him was from Luoyang, from the account of the captain Dong Zhuo, and now he was serving under the account of Lu Bu, the commander of the Bingzhou Army, and he knew and saw much more than him.
In a moment's thought, Han Hao completely stood there, only to feel that his whole body was like falling into an ice cave, and the cold was to the bone.
But in the cold of his whole body, another little spark suddenly ignited, and it instantly burned all over his body, making his blood boil and tremble.
Troubled times, here it is!
