Chapter 103: The Purge
"It's the situation of Meiwu's investigation, where no Diao Chan's body was found, and there is no trace of soil renovation."
RED gave feedback on what Yuyi had previously asked for an investigation.
After hearing the news, Yu Yi frowned, his expression was very solemn, he recalled Lu Bu's various words before, as well as various demeanors, he seemed to begin to believe in his own judgment, and now all kinds of evidence pointed to Diao Chan did not die in the chaos, so if she was alive, why didn't she come to herself, or did she have something else to do.
These mysteries made Yu Yi fall into deep thought for a while, he thought that such a fantasy was meaningless, and the party Lu Bu was stationed in Pei, looking for an opportunity to ask in person.
In Luoyang City, Li Dao and Guo Yan did not listen to Jia Xu's advice, and still thought that Cao Cao's soldiers and horses were all from afar, and they must be tired, so they didn't take it to heart, and took the troops to meet Cao Cao's army.
Cao Cao first sent Cao Ren and Dian Wei to lead three hundred iron cavalry, charging in Li Wei's formation, Li Jun quickly set up a formation, at the eye of the formation, his nephew Li Xian and Li Beizheng patted their chests to kill Cao Cao for meritorious service, but before the words were halfway, they were hacked to death by Xu Chu, Li Bei saw that his companion was dead, he was startled, and hurriedly planned to escape, but the two of them were already under Xu Chu's control, and they were soon killed by him. So he carried two heads and went to Cao Cao's side to report.
Cao Cao patted Xu Chu's back and sighed, "You are really my Fan Xu!" Then let Xiahoudun lead the left soldiers to set off, Cao Ren led the right soldiers to set off, and Cao Cao himself led the Chinese army to attack the Liangrao formation.
With the sound of heavy drums, Cao Cao's three men and horses attacked together, and the thief army was completely unable to resist and left in defeat.
Cao Cao personally wore a sword in the formation, led everyone to chase and kill overnight, the number of thieves killed was very amazing, and countless surrendered to him, for this ending, Li and Guo regretted not following Jia Xu's advice, they could only take care of their own lives, and discarded all the things outside their bodies, their hair was messy, their clothes were shabby, like a lost dog, the two of them knew their crimes, and it was absolutely impossible to go back to their hometown, so they ran to the depths of the woods, and it seemed that they were ready to fall into the grass.
Cao Bing also returned victorious, still stationed troops outside Luoyang City. After getting the news, Yang Feng and Han Xian were not as happy as they imagined, and secretly discussed, saying: "Now that Cao Cao has made great contributions, he will definitely have a lot of power, how can he tolerate us people at that time, or think of a way to get out as soon as possible." So he went to find Emperor Qizuo, hoping to hunt down Li and Guo, and Zi agreed, so the two of them transferred all their soldiers and horses away, and the troops went to Daliang.
On this day, in order to understand the situation, Emperor Xian sent someone to Xuan Cao Cao to the palace to discuss some things. Cao Cao's envoy came when he heard it, and he hurriedly treated him politely and invited him into the inner room to talk.
Cao Cao thought in his heart: "Since the beginning of this year, the entire Eastern Capital has been fruitless, and the bureaucrats, the military and the people are hungry, why does this person look very obese, what is the reason?" ”
So Cao Cao couldn't help asking: "You look a little fat, I don't know how to take care of your body?" ”
replied: "There is no special way, just to be a vegetarian for 30 years." ”
Cao Cao nodded, but he still didn't believe it in his heart, and asked again: "May I ask what position Your Excellency is now?" ”
replied: "I raised filial piety, I used to do it under Yuan Shao and He Zhangyang, and when I heard that I returned to Luoyang, I came to meet him, and I was named Zhengyilang, I am Jiyin Dingtao, surnamed Dong, Mingzhao, and the word Gongren." ”
When Cao Cao heard this, he clapped his hands violently, quickly pulled the others back, and said, "I have heard about Mr.'s reputation for a long time, and I am also fortunate to be able to see him here." ”
So a banquet was set up in the tent, and Xun Yu was also asked to come over to participate.
Just when he was very happy, someone suddenly came to report the situation and said, "There is a group of people passing to the east, I don't know who it is?" ”
Cao Cao was very concerned about these movements, so he hurriedly sent someone to inquire about the news. Dong Zhao shook his head, Cao Cao hurriedly asked the reason, and replied: "This is Yang Feng, the old general of Li Dao, and Han Xian, the handsome Bai Bo, because you came to Zi's side, so you took your soldiers and horses to Daliang." ”
Cao Cao said, "Are they suspecting that I am going to annex them?" ”
Dong Zhao said with a smile: "They are all people who have no vision and strategy, so Ming Gong doesn't care, and he doesn't have to guess anything!" ”
Following this incident, Cao Cao asked again: "Will the two thieves Li and Guo make a comeback?" ”
replied: "They are like tigers without claws, birds without feathers, and after a long time, they will be captured by Ming Gong, so they don't have to mind." ”
Cao Cao felt that the other party's answer was fluent, without the slightest flustery, his demeanor was biased, and he felt that the more he talked, the more speculative he became, so he began to consult with the court affairs.
Dong Zhao also felt Cao Cao's sincerity, and said: "Ming Gong Xing volunteers came to eliminate violence and peace, and now they have repelled Guo and Li two thieves, and entered the court to assist Zuozi, this is the same credit as the Spring and Autumn Five Tyrants, but the princes have their own ideas, Ming Gong may not be able to convince the public, now if you stay here for a long time, you have also seen the situation in Luoyang City, there are broken walls and ruins everywhere, it is really impossible to survive, only to move the son to Xu Du is the best policy." But the imperial court has been in a state of exile, and finally returned to the capital Luoyang after all difficulties, the princes near and far still want to look up, hoping that the imperial court will get a temporary peace, and now they want to move, I am afraid it is difficult to meet the mood of the people, but the general can do extraordinary things, in order to achieve extraordinary feats, I hope the general can think about my suggestion. ”
Cao Cao felt very excited, and even took Dong Zhao's hand and laughed, and said: "You just now are my ambition, but Yang Feng went to Daliang, and the ministers are all in the court, I don't know if he will rebel if he does this?" ”
Dong Zhao patted his sleeve and said: "This is actually very simple, you can write a letter to settle Yang Feng, and then tell the minister that there is no grain and grass in Luoyang City, and you want to temporarily transfer Zi to Xudu, which is very close to Luyang, you can transfer grain, you can have no worries, I believe that the ministers are also in a state of hunger, and they must be in favor of this suggestion, and they will follow Zi over." ”
Cao Cao was very happy, and then the two separated, Cao Cao took his hand and said: "Mr.'s words have benefited me a lot, everything I think, what I want, and I hope that Mr. will not be stingy, and will guide me." ”
Dong Zhao nodded, and then thanked him and left.
