Chapter 177 Cao Cao welcomes the Han Emperor and assists Meng De!

In June of the first year of Jian'an, when Yuan Shu and Liu Bei were launched, Cao Cao annexed 30,000 and attacked Liu Bei on the border of Liang controlled by Liu Bei.

At the same time, he gathered his advisers to discuss the matter of welcoming the Han Emperor.

Xun Yu said: "In the past Jin Dynasty, Duke Wen accepted King Xiang of Zhou, and the princes obeyed; Han Gaozu mourned for his righteous brother, and the world returned to his heart. Today's son is covered with dust, and the general Cheng is the first to advocate volunteers at this time, and the Son of Heaven has been expected by the public, and the strategy of the world is also! If you don't plan early, people will do it before me! ”

Cao Cao had already heard these words from Mao Yu and Tian Fan, and at this time, he heard Xun Yu also mean this, and said a more thorough reason, so he naturally made a decision in his heart!

He immediately sent his general Cao Hong, with 10,000 troops, to arrive in Luoyang day and night, ready to welcome the Han Emperor!

After Cao Hong arrived in Luoyang, he failed to do so because of Dong Cheng and others' obstruction.

After Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty returned to Luoyang, the ministers Yang Feng, Han Xian, Dong Cheng and others, for the sake of power, were suspicious of each other and discordant. Dong Zhao thought that Cao Cao was a hero in the world, so he had already had a connection with Cao Cao, and at this time he saw that Yang Feng was the strongest in soldiers and horses, and there was no party aid in the court, so he forged Cao Cao's letter to Yang Feng, which said that Cao Cao was willing to provide foreign aid to Yang Feng, and said that Yang Feng had soldiers, Cao Cao had food, and it happened to communicate with each other.

Yang Fengde was overjoyed, so he made Cao Cao the general of Zhendong and attacked his father, the Marquis of Feiting. Soon, Dong Cheng was proud of Han Xian, Zhang Yang and others, and secretly summoned Cao Cao into the court to control Han Xian and others.

At the beginning of July, Cao Cao personally raised a large army and entered Luoyang to meet the Han Emperor.

At that time, the Han Emperor and the hundred officials came to the dilapidated Luoyang, there was no food, no houses, the emperor could have someone to worship, but the hundred officials had to dig wild vegetables in the field to feed their stomachs, and there were often starving to death! It can be said that the dough of the Han family does not exist at all!

After Cao Cao saw the Han Emperor, he bowed very respectfully, he knelt on the ground, and after seeing the salute, the Han Emperor who was thin on the opposite side said: "Your Majesty, the courtier's family has been eating Junlu for a long time, and he has been blessed with holy grace for a long time!" The minister remembered that his ancestors and his father had said that the first emperor had stored a lot of things in the minister's house, and this time, the minister came here, one to escort the driver, and the other to return the things that the first emperor had stored in Cao's mansion to His Majesty! Please accept it, Your Majesty! ”

After speaking, he ordered his subordinates to take out the wine and meat, chicken soup, steamed buns and other foods that had been prepared long ago, as well as cloth, clothing, gold, silver, copper coins and other belongings!

Emperor Han and his ministers were already hungry and crazy, and when they smelled the aroma of wine and meat, they couldn't care about the majesty they had pretended to be in front of Cao Cao!

For a time, hundreds of officials scrambled for food and broth, and the scene of the Han Emperor grabbing a chicken leg in each hand made everyone in Cao Yingying roll their eyes!

Perhaps, from this moment on, many generals in Cao Ying's camp had the slightest fear of the emperor in their hearts and completely disappeared!

Maybe it was from this moment that Cao Cao no longer took Emperor Han and the ministers he used to look up to!

Those little colonels carrying steamed buns and broth were very considerate for some ministers who were too anxious to eat and choked, patted their backs and persuaded softly: "My lord, you slow down, there is still food, make sure that it is enough!" ”

These kind reminders suddenly made those high-ranking officials who are majestic on weekdays unable to help themselves! For a while, on that old face, the broth and tears flowed together, it was really an endless bitter thing! They only felt that this face was thrown to their grandmother's house!

However, no one can deny that Cao Cao's words, as well as these grains, cloths and other things, have won the unanimous favor of the emperor and courtiers!

Look at Cao Cao, how can you talk? It's obviously charity, but what he said in his mouth was to return back what the former emperor had stored in his house! As soon as these words came out, Emperor Han and Baiguan suddenly lost the feeling of being chared, and their mood was particularly comfortable. …,

A few days later, Cao Cao played the sins of Han Xian and Zhang Yang. Han Xian was afraid of Cao Cao's power and fled to Yang Feng, and the Han Emperor was pardoned by the edict because of Han Xian's escort.

Because of this great achievement, the Han Emperor then led the school captain with Cao Cao, recorded the Shangshu affairs, and faked the festival. Cao Cao used the merit of escorting the guard general Dong Cheng and other thirteen people as liehous, and killed three people including Zhongtai Chong and Shangshu Feng Shuo for crimes, which can be regarded as the first ruling dynasty.

Cao Cao originally wanted to move the imperial court to the area under his control, but the Han Emperor hesitated because the imperial court had been displaced for a long time and the situation was initially determined, and he was afraid that he would be criticized for moving the capital again.

Cao Cao was also helpless about this matter, so he asked Dong Zhao.

Dong Zhao's eyebrows are clear and beautiful, and all the officials are yellow and thin, but he is still full of energy! Cao Cao once asked him the reason suspiciously, and he replied: "Without him, I can only eat lightly for thirty years!" ”

Cao Cao knew his ability, so he asked him for advice!

Dong Zhao pondered for a long time, and said slowly: "Cao Gong, now the generals in Luoyang, there are many people, and they may not necessarily obey, if Cao Gong wants to achieve great things, the only way is to move the capital!" ”

He glanced at Cao Cao in contemplation, and continued: "Only by doing extraordinary things can you have extraordinary achievements!" At this time, the world is in turmoil, and I hope that Cao Cao will think carefully, focus on the big picture, and make a decision as soon as possible. ”

Cao Cao thought so, and he said again: "However, Yang Feng is in Liang County, if he comes out to obstruct it, it will be a big trouble!" Also, the ministers in the court may not be convinced! ”

Dong Zhao smiled slightly and said, "This matter is easy!" Cao Gong can send one person, just say thank you Yang Feng for your kindness as the general of Zhendong, in order to calm his heart! Then tell him that Luoyang's food supply is difficult, and Cao Gong wants to temporarily move the Han Emperor to Luyang first! Luyang is close to Xu County, and the food supply is simple, I believe that these ministers who have no overnight food will have no objections! And Yang Feng, a brave and unscrupulous person, will definitely not doubt it! At that time, Duke Cao will be able to move the emperor to Xu County! ”

Cao Cao happily took Dong Zhao's hand and said, "If you have a plan, only the public will teach it!" ”

Dong Zhao thanked him and left.

Later, Cao Cao followed the plan and succeeded.

By the time Yang Feng learned the truth and raised troops to intercept it, it was too late. So in mid-July, Cao Cao finally welcomed Emperor Xian to Xu County, and then took Xu as the capital.

Since then, the Cao Group, headed by Cao Cao, has entered a period of rapid development!

Cao Cao's welcome to the Han Emperor was more than a month earlier than in history, I don't know if it was caused by Tian Fan's butterfly effect!

On July 20, Cao Cao, in his military camp, ushered in a long-awaited person - Guo Jia!

The two of them talked for a long time in the big tent before they stopped!

Guo Jia is a native of Yingchuan! He looks handsome, and he has a pair of deep, intelligent eyes! Since childhood, he has been talented, likes to communicate with the elderly, and has studied under Cai Yong.

This person is confident and high-minded, likes to be unrestrained, is very picky about making friends, and only associates with people with lofty ideals in his mind. But he was very sincere and enthusiastic with his friends, and liked to drink and talk all night long. At this point, it seems that he was born for Cao Cao! Cao Cao is the same, he does everything casually, he doesn't like to be restrained, he doesn't like to wear gorgeous clothes, he dresses exquisitely, it's just comfortable!

When he was twenty-one years old, he was once recommended by Tian Feng's people to join Yuan Shao's account, Yuan Shao was the most powerful prince in the world at that time, known as the "hero of the world", and he also valued him very much. However, in just over a month, Guo Jia saw that Yuan Shaofei was the master of great things, so he resolutely left. From then on, a six-year life of seclusion began!

Until this time, he was annoyed by Xun Yu and had no choice, so he came to see Cao Cao!

In the deep conversation that lasted for more than two hours, Cao Cao and Guo Jia discussed a lot, the most important of which was how to unify the Central Plains, especially how to face the threat from Liu Bei! And the answer given by Guo Jia also satisfied Cao Cao, and even called this plan very good! …,

Cao Cao also asked, as a strategist, what is the most important thing?

Guo Jia said that war is the same as playing chess, no war is planned in advance, familiarity with the art of war is only the beginning, and the advantages and disadvantages of military advisers lie in adapting to changes on the spot.

Guo Jia's clear and thorough analysis made Cao Cao see a bright future.

After Guo Jia left, Cao Cao sighed and said, "Whoever makes loneliness a big thing must be this person!" In his heart, he compared Guo Jia with the various strategists in the account, but the result was that Guo Jia was the strongest! This comparison made him very excited!

However, in a blink of an eye, he remembered Tian Fan and the farming experience that Tian Fan gave him! He only felt that if Tian Fan was in his hands, how good it would be! Guo Jia is a military advisor and helps him fight, Tian Fan is responsible for making money and growing food, and Xun Yu is responsible for collecting taxes and conscripting soldiers, helping him take care of internal affairs, this is the best combination!

But Cao Cao is an open-minded person, and in the blink of an eye, he drove this idea out of his mind! Tian Fan said that the two can be close friends, but not monarchs! Besides, if even Tian Fan came to his subordinates, I am afraid that Liu Bei's advantage will be gone! At that time, what are the challenges in this process of dominating the world?

Unconsciously, he had ranked Liu Bei's threat to him above Yuan Shao! Although, Liu Bei is not as strong as Yuan Shao!

Outside the account, Xun Yu asked Guo Jia about his evaluation of Cao Cao, and Guo Jia also sighed with emotion: "My lord is also!" ”

Guo Jia was impressed by Cao Cao's demeanor, and he also sighed, if he had known that Cao Gong was such a person, he should have come to vote for him as soon as possible!

Since then, Guo Jia has become the military advisor of Cao Cao's army, and has made very outstanding contributions to Cao Cao's conquest of the world in the future!
