Chapter 1102: Luoyang is a pool of muddy waters
Bao Xin saw that Ma Chao took the initiative to ask Ying to capture and kill Cao Ang, and he was immediately overjoyed, convinced that he would personally lead the way in front and lead Zhu Ya's army into the city.
At this time, the entire Luoyang City was in chaos. Cao Ang suppressed the counterattack of the hundred officials of the Han court, and did not care about clearing the remnants, so he hurriedly ran away with his soldiers and horses, and escaped from Luoyang from another city gate.
The runaway was imminent, and Cao Ang was also very shrewd, knowing that Zhu Ya's army would come to Luoyang in a few days after clearing the rout, so he simply indulged it and used Luoyang City to boost the morale of the three armies.
This trick is quite effective.
The Cao army who stayed in Luoyang was all overjoyed, and plundered a wave, and then the sloppy flash people all earned their mouths together. By the time Bao Xin led Zhu Ya's army into the city, Cao Ang had already led the army to flee and disappeared.
Ma Chao learned that Cao Ang wittily ran away in advance, and he couldn't help but feel hateful in his heart, he didn't catch the main Cao Cao, and wanted to catch Cao Cao's eldest son to vent, but they also fled.
However, Bao Xin didn't care, thinking that Cao Ang took Cao Jun away, and it was lucky to return Luoyang to a peace, at least he was not burned by the fire again.
"Virtuous nephew, follow me to face the saint as soon as possible."
Bao Xin smiled and warmly invited Ma Chao to meet Emperor Xian, saying that Cao Thief was in trouble in Luoyang and placed the Son of Heaven under house arrest.
Ma Chao is not stupid, and guessed Bao Xin's thoughts.
Since ancient times, officialdom has been a big dye vat, and whoever goes in and comes out will be dyed with flowers and green, and his stomach will be bad. Bao Xin is naturally no exception.
"This old man is quite scheming, and he wants to separate himself from the lord. However, the military advisor had already expected this, so he might as well push the boat along the river and secretly wait for the opportunity to act. Ma Chao sneered and readily agreed.
Bao Xin was overjoyed, and hurriedly led the way, but he couldn't help feeling guilty in his heart: "The prince is not strange, now Zhu Ya is powerful, and he is better than Cao Thief." If there is rebellion, it will become a great trouble. ”
The two of them came to the palace with their own thoughts.
At this time, the palace had just been cleaned and was in a mess, and the eunuchs and palace maids were trembling, and when they saw Bao Xin taking Ma Chao into the palace, they were immediately like frightened little beasts, and they all avoided from afar.
Bao Xin was very familiar with the palace, and took Ma Chao to a side hall. Ma Chao took the time to sweep his eyes left and right, smacking his tongue secretly.
This side hall is really remote, the surroundings are deserted, and there is not a single eunuch palace maid in sight, but there is a Yulin army with bright armor to defend here.
"The Son of Heaven was frightened, did not believe that the Cao thief had left, and insisted on refusing to leave this place, lest he be poisoned by the Cao thief." Bao Xin looked at the palace gate, sighed with mixed feelings, and gave Ma Chao a simple explanation.
Ma Chao sighed so much that he couldn't help but look down on the emperor even more. Just by the name of Cao Cao, Emperor Xian was so frightened that he didn't even believe in the hundreds of officials under him, I am afraid that it was the unlucky child of Emperor Xian.
"The Han family is exhausted, and I, Zhu Ya, should replace it."
Ma Chao sneered in his heart. Without saying a word, he followed Bao Xin through the defense line of the Yulin Army and walked into this side hall. As soon as he entered the door, Ma Chao saw a fat man wearing a dragon cannon hiding under the table and shivering.
"Holy Lord, the army of King Zhu Yaqin has arrived, and the Cao thief has escaped from Luoyang." Bao Xin smiled bitterly and stepped forward to comfort him.
"Is Brother Wang here?" When Emperor Xian heard Zhu Ya's words, he immediately stopped being afraid, got out of the table and walked forward quickly, with a relieved expression.
"My lord will arrive in Luoyang in a few days." Ma Chao stepped forward and clenched his fists in return.
"So good, so good." Emperor Xian seemed to cry and laugh, the whole person seemed to have pulled out the bones and sat down on the ground, how could there be the majesty of the Son of Heaven.
Bao Xin saw that Emperor Xian was so powerless, and he didn't even pay attention to the opportunity in front of him, his mood couldn't help but be complicated, and he said that the Son of Heaven was stupid by Cao Cao.
But he can understand.
Unlike when he stayed in Luoyang and contributed to the reconstruction of Luoyang, which was burned clean by Lu Yao, Emperor Xian was given to Cao Cao by Lu Yao. Since then, Emperor Xian has fallen into a psychological shadow. Finally, Lu Yao stood up for Emperor Xian and let him sit firmly on the throne of the Son of Heaven, but now that Cao Cao has climbed on his head again, if he is not afraid, it is his big heart.
"Shengshang, General Ma is the son of Xiliang Taishou Ma Teng, after being loyal and good, he is now leading the army of King Qin to scare away the remnants of the Cao thief, which can be described as the first merit. If you don't reward it heavily, you are afraid that the government and the opposition will criticize it. Bao Xin reluctantly stepped forward and vaguely reminded Emperor Xian to hurry up and buy people's hearts now, so as not to let Lu Yao enter Luoyang in the future and repeat the mistakes of Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao.
"This ...... Brother Wang has not arrived in Luoyang, how to reward him? Emperor Xian asked in confusion.
Bao Xin: "......" I'm exhausted.
Ma Chao watched coldly from the sidelines, and only thought it was funny. Emperor Xian is really wasted, and he is also a faint monarch when he is supported up, rather than leaving a faint monarch, it is better to help Lu Yao ascend the throne, like Bao Xin, it is useless, he is grateful for not sensitive.
"Gotta try to coax this old man away."
Ma Chao secretly thought in his heart, and had an idea, and took out a sachet sewn by his daughter-in-law for him from his arms, and stepped forward to offer it to the emperor with both hands: "The prince sent the things to the ministers before leaving, and told the ministers to hand them over to the saint with their own hands." ”
Emperor Xian took the sachet suspiciously, looked at it carefully, and then looked at Ma Chao with a blank face. He was born in the deep palace, and the most important thing in the palace is women, and the difference between sachets and sachets is still known.
The sachet is a thing that a woman gives to her husband or a lover, what does it mean to give it to us?
Bao Xin was also stunned by the side, and he couldn't figure out what Lu Yao meant by sending Ma Chao to give Emperor Xian a sachet, and looked at the sachet in Emperor Xian's hand in a daze.
Ma Chao is also a chicken thief, and what he wants is this kind of result, so he explained vaguely: "The prince once said that the saint must be able to guess the true meaning." But it was inconvenient for the minister to ask more. ”
Emperor Xian waved his hand in a daze, ready to carefully study the sachet sent by Lu Yao.
Bao Xin was puzzled, and it was inconvenient to ask Emperor Xian to come over and study it carefully, so he had to leave this side hall with Ma Chao's farewell.
After sending the two away, Emperor Xian turned the sachet over and over again, and the gods couldn't see it, so he put it under his nose and sniffed it, and the smell of medicinal herbs made him frown.
After thinking about it and not guessing the meaning of this sachet, Emperor Xian thought about it and carefully opened the sachet, but inside was a brown sheet of dead wood.
"What is this?" Emperor Xian Daqi, I wanted to pinch a piece to taste the taste, but unfortunately I was afraid of death after all, so I didn't dare, so I called in a Yulin army to ask.
"Back to Your Majesty, this is Angelica." Sergeant Yulin was curious why Emperor Xian was interested in this thing, but he also gave the answer truthfully.
"Angelica...... While...... Return. ”
Emperor Xian lost his soul and forgot that there was a Yulin sergeant next to him, and his face was not bloody. He thought he already knew Lu Yao's true purpose.
Angelica angelica, should be returned.
This is a hint that he hurried to Zen and let Xian go.
Emperor Xian was so discouraged that he didn't even know when the Yulin sergeant left, and only the word Zen was left in his mind flashing back and forth.
……
Ma Chao said goodbye to Bao Xin, led the army out of the city and camped, far away from the palace, looked back, and smiled dryly: "If Mrs. complains that I have lost the sachet, it will be said that it is for the great cause of the lord." ”
Thinking of this, he smiled helplessly and led his troops out of the city to camp.
