Chapter 78: Cheng Yu carries the black cauldron
Seeing Cheng Yu walking away, there was no excitement to see, and everyone scattered away.
Xun Yu walked with Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai and talked about what happened just now.
"I didn't expect it to be Cheng Yu who made a statement to the lord. It's just that why did he go in private, is it really as Liu Ye said? ”
Xi Zhicai touched his chin and said.
"I don't think so, Zhicai, do you think Cheng Yu's person would do such a thing?"
Guo Jia asked rhetorically.
When he asked, it made Xi Zhicai stunned.
Although the style of this strategy is indeed a bit like that of Cheng Yu.
But he has a rigid personality, and he is not a person who hides his head and tail.
"Who does Bonghyo think it is?"
"Needless to say, of course it's the master behind the lord."
Guo Jia sighed, his expression a little complicated.
Since defecting to Cao Cao, that master has repeatedly offered strange schemes.
I can't compare to him everywhere, and I haven't even found out his identity!
As a friend, Xi Zhicai naturally knew that Guo Jia had been depressed because of that master, so he quickly changed the topic.
"Then should we tell Liu Ye, lest he misunderstand Cheng Yu?"
Their relationship with Cheng Yu is quite passable, and they can't bear to see Cheng Yu carrying the black pot, and they are annoyed by Liu Ye and others.
"You don't have to."
Guo Jia shook his head.
That master didn't want to show his face, if he exposed his identity, wouldn't he be hated?
At this moment, Guo Jia suddenly noticed that Xun Yu had been silent on the side.
"Brother Wen Ruo, what's wrong with you, so sullen?"
Xun Yu sighed and said with a wry smile,
"I'm wondering, is the lord a capable minister who rules the world, or a hero in troubled times?"
From what Cao Cao said today, "Serve the Son of Heaven to order the princes, hold the edict and even the Quartet", you can feel his ambition!
How does this not make Xun Yu, who is loyal to the Han family, worry in his heart?
Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai glanced at each other, but they didn't know how to comfort their friends.
After all, they are not like Xun Yu, who is only loyal to the Han family.
……
After listening to Yang Ling's persuasion, Cao Cao immediately prepared a large army and headed west that day.
After several days of trekking, he finally met Liu Xie, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.
When Liu Xie returned from Chang'an, he was pursued by Li Dao and Guo Yan.
Although there are Yang Feng and Han Xian escorts, they are also embarrassed.
When he saw Cao Cao, Liu Xie was excited, and appointed Cao Cao as the lieutenant of Sili and the secretary of the book on the spot.
Li Dao and Guo Yan pursued, but they were not Cao Cao's opponents at all.
After their defeat and retreat, Yang Feng and Han Xian believed that Cao Cao could not tolerate them, so they took the order to leave on their own under the pretext of pursuing Li Guo and the others.
In this way, Liu Xie, the Son of Heaven, also completely fell into the hands of Cao Cao, and he naturally would not refuse.
Originally, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty planned to move back to Luoyang, but considering that Luoyang had been destroyed, he had to follow Cao Cao to Xucheng.
Yang Feng and Han Xian were a little unwilling to hand over the Son of Heaven in vain, so they set up an ambush halfway.
But they were defeated by Cao Cao, not to mention, and even the vanguard general Xu Huang turned his back on them.
Cao Cao and his entourage successfully arrived in Xucheng, and after some discussion, they finally decided to move the capital to Xucheng.
After everything settled down, the Son of Heaven rewarded Cao Cao, a meritorious minister.
not only named him the general and Wu Pinghou, but also appointed Xun Yu as the servant and Shang Shuling, and Guo Jia as the Sima sacrificial wine......
Except for Yang Ling, everyone under Cao Cao was rewarded.
It's night.
Liu Xie, the son of heaven, set up a banquet in the palace to entertain hundreds of civil and military officials.
But the protagonist of this banquet is not Liu Xie, but Cao Cao.
"Your Majesty was able to return safely this time, all thanks to the general!"
"Yes, if it weren't for Gong Cao, I'm afraid that the Son of Heaven would be in danger!"
"The general is really the pillar stone of my Dahan Town!"
A group of officials raised their glasses and praised Cao Cao one after another.
Cao Cao didn't have the slightest modesty, and his face was proud.
Seeing this situation, Liu Xie's face on the stage was a little embarrassed.
He finally asked Li Dao and Guo Yan, but he fell into the hands of Cao Cao again.
This is really just out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's mouth!
Yang Biao on the side frowned slightly, and immediately picked up the wine glass and came to Cao Cao.
The Hongnong Yang family has been ranked as the third prince for four consecutive generations, and its prestige is no less than that of Yuan Shao's family.
Seeing that Yang Biao came to toast in person, Cao Cao didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly stood up with a wine glass.
Without waiting for Cao Cao to speak, Yang Biao said in a cold tone,
"Your Majesty was able to get out of trouble this time, thanks to the general. But Your Majesty has great trust in the Great General, and allows you to monopolize the power. Don't you learn from Dong Zhuo's actions! ”
With that, he raised his glass, drank it down, and then turned to leave.
From beginning to end, Yang Biao didn't even give Cao Cao a chance to speak.
The smile on Cao Cao's face suddenly froze.
He was stunned for a moment, and then he pretended to be indifferent and slowly fell.
It was at this moment that he noticed that Yang Biao and Chongji, ministers loyal to the Han family, looked at him quite unkindly!
Cao Cao, who was originally complacent, instantly sobered up as if he was being poured a basin of cold water on his head!
He coughed lightly, and hurriedly said to Liu Xie,
"Your Majesty, the minister feels a little unwell and wants to go back to rest."
Liu Xie couldn't wait for Cao Cao to leave quickly, and nodded hurriedly,
"The general is so important to my big man, but take care of your body, you can go back and rest quickly."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Cao Cao got up and retired.
After leaving the palace, he said to Dian Wei on the side,
"Send someone to check the area around the palace to see if there are any assassins!"
"Whoa!"
Dian Wei took the order and left.
It turned out that Cao Cao saw that Yang Biao and the others looked wrong just now, thinking that they were going to kill themselves, so he slipped away in advance.
Soon, Dian Wei led people to investigate clearly, and there were no suspicious characters around the palace.
But despite this, Cao Cao was still a little uneasy.
Seeing this, Dian Wei proposed,
"Lord, why don't you go and meet my eldest brother?"
Cao Cao thought about it, then nodded and said,
"It's good!"
So Cao Cao took Dian Wei and a team of guards and headed towards Yang Ling's mansion.
At this time, the sky had already darkened, and Yang Linggang had dinner with Zhao Yun, Diao Chan, Lu Lingqi and others.
Hearing that Cao Cao came to the door, he hurriedly brought Zhao Yun and others to pay a visit.
"I've seen the General!"
"You're welcome, sir."
Cao Cao casually glanced at Diao Chan and Lu Lingqi, and did not stay too long, his face sank like water.
"I have something to discuss with my husband."
Seeing that he was so serious, Yang Ling led him towards the study.
After the two sat down, Cao Cao told Yang Ling what happened at the banquet.
Yang Ling thought for a moment, then smiled,
"Ming Gong is too worried, so how dare Yang Biao kill you?"
If Yang Biao really killed Cao Cao, how could Cao Cao's clan generals spare him?
The Son of Heaven and the civil and military officials, who have just settled down, are going to embark on the road of escape again!
