It was already getting dark, and some of the brave people were bold enough to go out of their homes to take a look at the city.

Although the sound of fighting only sounded in the middle of the night, the sound of shouting and shouting from time to time in the city, as well as the sound of horses' hooves running back and forth, all indicate the chaos in the city.

The bold people stooped down to open the door, quietly poked their heads out of the door, looked left and right, and the first thing that caught their eyes was a group of soldiers patrolling the streets.

However, these soldiers are not Liu Bei's soldiers who are familiar to the people, because there is a big Cao character printed on the backs of these soldiers.

"Cao Cao?"

The people were no strangers to Cao Jun, after all, before Liu Bei arrived, Puyang was owned by Cao Cao.

And Liu Bei and Cao Cao have been fighting for Yanzhou, and now it seems that it was Cao Cao who defeated Liu Bei last night and became the lord of Yanzhou again.

If there is a big chaos today, the people have long been accustomed to the change of power, although Liu Bei was indeed more considerate to the people when he was there, but Cao Cao was not bad before, so in the hearts of the people, Puyang is ruled by the two, and there is not much bias.

Notices have long been posted throughout the city, and they have been recited by literacy schools in order to convey them.

The notice of reassurance was a common means in ancient times to quickly identify themselves, reassure the people, and stabilize the situation, and it was also the first thing that every new occupant needed to do.

Cao Jun searched and arrested in the city for three days, except for some low-level colonels, there was no general under Liu Bei's account.

Except, of course, Zhang Miao's body.

When Cao Cao saw Zhang Miao's corpse, he cried loudly, and while pulling out the arrows on his body with his own hands, he cried bitterly: "Meng Zhuo is my friend, although he misheard slander, but the friendship remains the same, and I am guilty of this death!" ”

Everyone knows that Cao Cao and Zhang Miao have an old relationship, and the relationship is irreversible, seeing Cao Cao's grief, for fear of hurting his body, he hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him, and he got better for a long time.

Cao Cao cried and ordered Zhang Miao's body to be collected and buried with the courtesy of the princes.

Although Zhang Miao has an old relationship with Cao Cao, after all, he welcomed Liu Bei to betray Cao Cao, but Cao Cao gave him a generous burial regardless of his previous suspicions, this move won the favor of many ministers and scholars in the court, praised each other, and moved his subordinates, and secretly made up their minds to swear allegiance!

Zhang Miao's affair is a small episode, and when everything returns to normal in Puyang, the early dynasty will be held again.

This early dynasty is the first time since Cao Cao became the master, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military all arrived early, no one was absent, after all, Cao Cao is strong or weak, today you can see at a glance.

Emperor Xian walked into the main hall accompanied by the inner servants, and when he sat down, Baiguan Mountain shouted long live.

After Shi Li, Cao Cao stepped out first.

When the ministers saw Cao Cao coming out first, their moods were different, while Kong Rong frowned slightly, his expression showed a little disgust, and he secretly thought in his heart: "This son is strong. ”

Cao Cao didn't care about the eyes of others, and immediately came out and said: "Your Majesty, Puyang City is small, the population is not abundant, and it is also dilapidated and difficult to repair. The minister has the courage to please drive Xuchang, and hope for it! ”

Emperor Xian looked at His Royal Highness Cao Cao and did not answer directly, but asked the other ministers, "What do you think of Aiqing?" ”

Dong Cheng had been informed by Cao Cao in advance, and when he heard Emperor Xian's inquiry, he immediately replied: "Puyang is located in a remote area, difficult to transport grain and grass, not a place to live for a long time, Xuchang is located in the south of the Yellow River, backed by the Songshan Mountains, and close to Luoyang, blessed with unique nature, as the capital, it is really the best choice!" ”

Cao Cao became the master, and the biggest beneficiary was not the emperor, but Dong Cheng.

After Dong Cheng finished speaking, Wu Shuo and others, who had performed eye-catching in this incident, immediately echoed loudly: "The minister seconded the proposal!" ”

Seeing this, the corners of Cao Cao's mouth rose slightly, and he turned to scan the ministers, although he was smiling, he gave people a strong sense of oppression.

Seeing this, Kong Rong wanted to step forward, but was pulled by Yang Biao beside him, and shook his head slightly.

Emperor Xian waited for a while, and when he saw that no one objected, he was slightly disappointed in his heart, but he still said: "Since all the ministers have no objections, they will move to Xuchang, and the specific matters will be handled by Cao Qing!" ”

Cao Cao bowed his hand and saluted back: "Minister, obey the order!" ”

After that, the hundred officials said some innocuous things one after another, but Cao Cao did not participate and did not say a word.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Cao Cao and Dong Cheng walked out together, and seeing that the others were far away, Cao Cao said softly: "Thank you Uncle Guo for your help!" ”

At this time, Dong Cheng was extremely satisfied with Cao Cao, and said with a smile: "It's a lot of effort, not to mention that Puyang is really inappropriate!" ”

Cao Cao smiled and arched his hand, but did not say anything more.

Although the matter of relocation has been decided, but it cannot be set off immediately, after all, the current emperor is not the time when he fled before, there are many things that need to be prepared, and Xuchang also has to prepare, so he has to stay in Puyang for a while.

……

Liu Bei, Chen Gong and others led thousands of people to rush to Mount Tai, and sent scouts to deliver a letter to Guan and Zhang, informing them of the ins and outs of the matter.

Because they were in a hurry when they fled, Liu Bei and the others did not bring much grain and grass, but fortunately, Liu Bei now has some reputation in Yanzhou, and with the blessing of the emperor's uncle's name, people have sent grain and grass to help one after another.

Liu Bei looked at the soldiers who were lying in the shade resting, and suddenly cried loudly.

Chen Gong and the others didn't know why, so they hurriedly got up and asked what happened.

Liu Bei's expression was sad, tears flowed down his face, and he said: "Bei Yiyi is dedicated to supporting the Han family and revitalizing the dynasty, but his fate is ill-fated and half his life is wasted.

Bei is diligent and cautious on weekdays, but he doesn't want to be dissatisfied with the minister, colludes with Cao thieves, and cooperates with the outside world, not only to lose Puyang, but also to His Majesty falling into the hands of thieves, what is the fate, unpredictable, this big crime also!

In today's situation, it is difficult for the monarch to be loyal, there is a national disaster to repay, and the future is bleak, so that you have no tile, it is difficult to eat and eat and sleep, this is all prepared, and there is no face to live in the world, if it is over, so as not to laugh and be generous! ”

The more Liu Bei said that the louder he cried, the more excited he became, and after the last sentence was finished, he suddenly reached out to draw the sword on his waist, and wanted to kill himself.

Chen Gong and the others on the side were shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop them, only to hear Chen Gong say: "Victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, why does the lord want to commit suicide after such a small setback?"

If all the princes in the world are like the lord, how can there be survivors?

If the lord is disheartened and has no fighting spirit, how should we choose, should we all accompany the lord to kill himself and be fully loyal? ”

After listening to Chen Gong's stern words, Liu Bei suddenly woke up, hurriedly threw his sword on the ground, and said with a shameful face: "If it weren't for Mr. Gong's words, I would have almost made a big mistake, and I would be ashamed!" ”

When everyone saw Liu Bei wake up, they put their minds at ease, and persuaded each other with good words, and they wanted to set off with the whole army, but the soldiers had just gotten up, and suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and faintly heard someone shouting: "Hugh Liu Bei is gone!" ”
