The fire in the north of the city was extinguished soon after Cao's army entered the city, but because the wind was too strong before, the fire spread, and many houses in the north of the city were affected, and the city was burned to rubble.

One by one, the owners of the houses stood in front of the black ruins, weeping, shaking their heads and sighing.

Except for the northern city, the people in other parts of the city rarely go out of their homes, and when the war is in chaos, going out at this time is no different from sending them to death.

Cao Cao led the army into the city, first instructed his generals to arrest Liu Bei and the rest of the party in the city, and then instructed Xun Yu to go out of the list and count the treasury.

After all the orders were completed, Cao Cao went to meet Emperor Xian under the protection of Cao Hong.

Outside the palace gate, Dong Chengzao led Chongji and Wu Shuo to wait for a long time, and when he saw Cao Cao coming, he hurriedly bowed his hand to the mountain, and said with a smile: "Meng De is late!" ”

Although it is an ordinary greeting, it is a pun.

Cao Cao was very satisfied with Dong Cheng, if it weren't for his contact with other ministers as an internal response, it would have taken a lot of twists and turns to break through Puyang.

Cao Cao quickly jumped off the war horse, and also arched his hand: "Come early and come late, come sooner or later, Meng De has seen Uncle Guo!" ”

Dong Cheng saw that Cao Cao was respectful to him, and he was very satisfied in his heart, and secretly sighed: "Cao Mengde can be a virtuous minister, and he will live up to my hard work!" ”

Dong Cheng introduced Wu Shuo and the seed series to Cao Cao sideways, introduced them carefully, and said: "This success depends on the efforts of the two of them. ”

Cao Cao hurriedly saluted and said, "Meng De, thank you!" ”

After the two of them returned the salute, Dong Cheng said with satisfaction: "Meng De quickly follow me into the palace, so as not to wait for Your Majesty for a long time!" ”

Cao Cao replied: "It should be so!" ”

Emperor Xian was sitting on the top of the main hall at this time, his face slowly recovered, not happy or angry, but slightly white.

Emperor Xian's life is ill-fated, since he ascended the throne, he has been repeatedly coerced by various forces, and now it is rare to be stable, but Dong Cheng colluded with Cao Cao to force Liu Bei away, what is the fate of the next, Emperor Xian is extremely confused, and can only pray secretly in his heart, hoping that Cao Cao can be as Dong Cheng said, is a loyal minister who can help the Han family.

It didn't take long for an attendant to step forward and say, "Your Majesty, Uncle Dong and General Cao have arrived!" ”

Emperor Xian didn't sleep all night, looked at the sunlight that came in slightly, adjusted his sitting posture, and then ordered: "Xuan! ”

"No!"

The waiter left quickly, and after a while, Dong Cheng and Cao Cao stepped in.

At this time, Cao Cao's attitude was humble, not as domineering as in history, and when he saw the emperor respectfully giving a big salute, he said: "Cao Cao greets His Majesty Sheng'an!" ”

Emperor Xian looked at Cao Cao's humble attitude and courtesy, and his heart was slightly relieved, and he said, "Aiqing got up and replied!" ”

Cao Cao thanked him, bowed again before getting up and bowing his head.

At this time, Dong Cheng opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, Liu Bei intended to rebel, plundered the people in the city, and set fire to the houses.

Now that Liu Bei has led his troops to flee, Cao Cao is sending people to search for the rebel remnants in the city. ”

He knew who rebelled and offered himself to the emperor, but at this time, Cao Cao didn't say much about the retest, so he only wrote lightly: "Cao Qing is brave and very relieved, but the soldiers should not disturb the people when they enter the city, and quickly restore the stability in the city, and do not affect the people's livelihood!" ”

Cao Cao respectfully received the order.

Emperor Xian was in a bad mood, although he said: "I am a little sleepy, the two Aiqing will go down and be busy, and other things will be discussed in the coming day." ”

"Obey the order!"

Cao Cao and Dong Cheng respectfully retreated.

Outside the door of the two, passing by no one, Cao Cao said to Dong Cheng: "Everything in the palace needs to be bothered by Uncle Guo!" ”

Dong Cheng nodded and smiled without saying a word.

Liu Bei Puyang's residence is now used by Cao Cao, at this time Cao Cao is sitting behind the main seat of the golden knife, red face, said to the group of strategists below: "It is reported that Liu Bei ran to Mount Tai and left, and it is expected that he will go to Liyi." ”

After saying that, he couldn't stop laughing.

Xun You smiled slightly after hearing this, and said: "The two generals, Zihe and Mancheng, have been waiting for Liu Bei for a long time!" ”

Everyone laughed out loud after hearing Xun You's words.

It turned out that Cao Cao and the strategists had already calculated that if Liu Bei fled, he would surrender to Liyi, so they sent Cao Chun and Li Dian to lead the cavalry to ambush in advance.

Cao Cao hoped that Liu Bei would defect to Yuan Shao instead of to Lu Yi.

After everyone laughed, Cao Cao returned to seriousness and said: "Now that Liu Bei has fled, Your Majesty and Yanzhou are all owned by me, I don't know what you have to teach you about the future?" ”

Xun Yu said slowly: "Puyang is close to Jizhou, the city is sparsely populated, easy to attack and difficult to defend, it is not appropriate to let Your Majesty live here, and you should find a good place to move it as soon as possible." ”

After hearing this, Cao Cao thought deeply, nodded his head, and asked, "Where can Wen Ruo welcome Luan?" ”

Xun Yu seemed to have an answer, and immediately replied: "Han is the king of fire, and the lord is the life of the earth, Xu Du belongs to the earth, the fire gives birth to the earth, the earth is prosperous, and the lord will be prosperous when he arrives, which is unspeakably expensive!" ”

Cao Cao stroked his palms and smiled when he heard this, and said: "Wen Ruo's words are exactly what I want, when the matter of Puyang is over, I will meet Your Majesty, please move Xu Du!" ”

At this time, Xi Zhicai said: "Although Liu Bei has fled now, there are not a few ministers of the Manchu Dynasty who are good friends with Liu Bei, each with his own thoughts, and the lord should think about countermeasures as soon as possible, otherwise hundreds of officials will discuss politics and hold their own opinions, I am afraid that it will be difficult to achieve everything, and they will have to follow in Liu Bei's footsteps!" ”

Cao Cao nodded after hearing this, and replied: "I have heard about Liu Bei's affairs for a long time, he is a hypocrisy, benevolent and righteous, and he should be interrupted, but he suffered from his chaos, which is to blame, and I will never do it." ”

Everyone saw that Cao Cao had a plan in his heart, so they didn't say anything more.

In a mansion not far from the palace of Emperor Xian, Wang Li, the servant Taishi Ling, stood in the courtyard and looked up at the starry sky, his brows became tighter and tighter, and he suddenly stomped his feet, ignoring the chaos outside, and rushed out of the small door to his friend Liu Ai's house.

Liu Ainai was the emperor of the dynasty, and he made friends with Wang Li and even made friends.

Liu Ai was surprised when he saw Wang Li, hurriedly invited into the study, and asked in a low voice: "Now that the situation outside is unknown, why did my brother take the risk to come?" ”

Wang Li closed the door of the room, and then said with an anxious face: "I look at astronomy, since the time of last spring, Taibai committed the town star in the bullfight, passed Tianjin, and the Yingfu and retrograde, and Taibai will meet in Tianguan, the golden fire meets, I am afraid that a new son of heaven will come out, so I dare not delay, come to discuss!" ”

Liu Ainai Zongzheng, when he heard this, he was immediately shocked, hurriedly pushed the door to check if there were outsiders outside, saw that there was no one around, closed the door again, and said in a low voice: "This matter is not trivial, brother must not mention it to others again, otherwise I am afraid of death!" ”

Wang Li replied: "The two of us are friends of life and death, and we only told each other, and others will never say a word. ”

Liu Ai leaned in and asked, "Do you know where it should be?" ”

Wang Li shook his head and replied: "Previously, the purple qi shone on the land of Jin and Wei, and there was a tendency to replace fire with earth, but recently the universe seems to be upside down, like a mist covering the moon, and everything is unknown. ”

Liu Ai sighed: "The way of heaven is far-reaching, don't say more!" ”
