Chapter 104: Moving to Xudu

After making a plan to move the capital in his heart, Cao Cao summoned his advisers to discuss the specific details, but these were all carried out in secret, because the move of the capital would definitely damage some interests, and if he was not fully prepared, he could not leak the news.

Taishi Ling Wang Li said to Zongzheng Liu Ai: "I recently watched the phenomenon at night, Taibai committed Zhenxing in bullfighting, passing Jin, Yingfu and retrograde, and Taibai will meet in Guan, golden fire rendezvous, this is a bad sign." ”

Liu Ai smiled: "I don't understand the elephant, please take the trouble to explain, what do you understand?" ”

replied: "It means that the qi of the Han Dynasty is about to end, and in the land of Jin and Wei, there will definitely be new replacements." ”

Liu Ai disagreed, and said: "The Tao is constant, how can it be inferred by manpower, I don't think it will." ”

Wang Li shook his head, knowing that it was useless to talk to the other party, so he went to secretly play to Emperor Xian, and said: "Life has been arranged, the five elements will not always be prosperous, the person who replaces the earth is fire, and the person who replaces the Han Dynasty and is the king in the Central Plains is in Wei." ”

Emperor Xian naturally didn't take it seriously, but the news leaked, and it spread very quickly to Cao Cao.

As soon as he got the news, he immediately felt uncomfortable, because this idea often surged in his mind, and he naturally couldn't sit still if someone broke it, so he sent someone to remind Wang Li, saying: "I know that you are very loyal to the Han court, but this thing is far-reaching, and you don't want more, otherwise I will take action." ”

This incident made Cao Cao think of another person, that is, his own strategist Xun Yu, he also knew some elephant numerology, so he went to consult, and replied: "The Han Dynasty prospers with fire, and the lord of your five elements is earth, and Xu Du is also earth, so after you get there, you will prosper." Fire can give birth to earth, and earth can prosper wood, which is exactly in response to the words of Dong Zhao and Wang Li, and there will definitely be prosperous characters in the future. ”

Cao Cao knew that this matter might not be hidden, but as long as there was no evidence, no one could do anything, so he made up his mind.

When he went to the second neighbor, he personally went to see Emperor Xian, and said: "Luoyang, the eastern capital, used to be a very prosperous area, but after Dong Zhuo's rebellion, it became a ruined wall, and it has reached the point where there is no way to repair it. Now that Xudu is very close to Luyang, and at the same time has a palace, the city is strong, and the money and food are sufficient, which can be used as a backup, and the minister implores His Majesty to move to Xudu, hoping that His Majesty can follow my advice. ”

There are 200,000 troops of Cao Cao outside Luoyang City, his words are not angry but mighty, Emperor Xian did not dare to refuse, and the ministers were even more afraid of Cao Cao's might, and no one dared to come out to raise objections. So this matter was decided so easily, Cao Cao didn't expect things to go smoother than he imagined, which was actually related to Emperor Xian's long-term coercion, forming such a submissive character.

So Cao Cao chose a date, escorted with soldiers and horses, and all the officials followed, preparing to go to Xudu.

After walking for less than a few miles, they suddenly came to a high tomb, and the shouting was so loud that a pair of men and horses blocked the way.

Cao Cao lined up his soldiers and horses, not afraid at all.

In front of them, Yang Feng and Han Xian blocked the way with soldiers and horses, and Xu Huang stood up in front of him and shouted: "Cao Cao, where do you want to hijack the son?" ”

Cao Cao took a look and found that this general, majestic, secretly surprised in his heart, so he ordered Xu Chu to go out to fight with him, the two fought more than 50 rounds, and there was no winner or loser, Cao Cao was afraid that if he continued to fight, both would lose, so he let him retreat first, and he also Mingjin withdrew his troops.

When he returned to the camp, he summoned his advisers and discussed: "I don't care about Yang Feng and Han Xian at all, but I see that this general named Xu Huang is a good general, and I really can't bear to use force to suppress him, so I should use stratagem to recruit him." ”

The marching army was full of favors and said: "Please don't worry, my lord and I had a good relationship with Xu Huang before, and tonight I will play the role of a pawn in the city, secretly enter his camp, and then let him surrender with all his heart." ”

So that night, Man Chong pretended to be a pawn, mixed into the other party's tent, secretly went to Xu Huang's tent, and saw the other party sitting there with candles and armor, Man Chong quietly walked to him, bowed, and said: "Friend, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come unharmed!" ”

Xu Huang was a little surprised, stood up, saw that it was an acquaintance, and said, "Aren't you from Shanyang Manboning?" How did you get to me? ”

Full Favor said: "I am now engaged in General Cao Cao, and now I see you in front of the battle, and I feel that I have something to tell you, so I seem to have mixed in." ”

Xu Huang asked the other party to sit down and asked what he meant.

Full of favor said: "Your bravery, is rare in the world, why bend down to serve people like Yang and Han, General Cao Cao is the hero of the world, Corporal Lixian, the subordinates all know, now I also saw your courage in front of the battle, I am amazed, very respectful, so I can't bear to fight to the death, so I specially sent me to invite you, why don't you abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and jointly assist in the great cause?" ”

Xu Huang hesitated, thought for a while, sighed, and said, "I don't know that Feng and Siam are not people who have achieved great things, but I have been following them for a long time, and I really can't bear to give them up." ”

Full of favor said: "Haven't you heard that good birds choose trees to perch, and virtuous ministers choose their masters?" Encountering a lord who can serve but missing it is definitely not the behavior of a husband. ”

Xu Huang felt that it made sense, so he got up and thanked him: "I am willing to follow your advice." ”

Man Zhong said: "Why don't you kill Feng and Siam on the spot and then leave, as a gift to see General Cao?" ”

Xu Huang said: "They didn't do evil, I have been their courtier, it is unrighteous to do this, and I definitely can't do this!" ”

Man Zhong said: "You are really a righteous man! ”

So Xu Huang took dozens of henchmen and cavalry under his tent, and took full favor to Cao Cao overnight.

However, this matter is not so simple, there are also two meticulous works around Xu Huang, and he reported this matter to Yang Feng earlier, Yang Feng felt very angry, and personally brought more than a thousand cavalry to chase after him, shouting: "Xu Huang anti-thief don't go!"

In the pursuit, suddenly heard a cannon, the mountain and the mountain were illuminated by torches, the soldiers who were ambushed there came out from all sides, Cao Cao personally led the army to take the lead, shouting: "I have been waiting in this place for a long time, this time it will be difficult for you to fly!" ”

Yang Feng was shocked, hurriedly went back, surrounded by Cao Cao's soldiers, just when Han Xian heard the wind and came to the rescue, the two armies fought, Yang Feng was able to escape, Cao Cao took advantage of the chaos, launched a general attack, most of their soldiers surrendered, the two had no power, so they had to take the remnants of the defeated army to take refuge in Yuan Shao.
