Chapter 83: Lord, this is not the same as saying yes!
"Where is the Son of Heaven?"
Cao Cao asked.
Dong Cheng immediately forced a smile and sighed: "It's safe now, our plan is to wait for tomorrow to see the Son of Heaven, General Cao will go directly to the palace in the name of court, and now we need money to repair the palace, and the eyes of the rest of the generals will not be able to fortify." β
"Then the general proposed to move the capital to Luyang, and General Yang Feng and I will inevitably agree, so that the Son of Heaven can smoothly move the capital again, so that he can get out of control."
"Well, that's a good idea."
Cao Cao praised expressionlessly, but he didn't actually think it was a clever plan.
Because they may also ambush the army on the main hall, and thus cut him Cao Cao to death on the temple.
If so, how can this temple be obtained?
Of course, this is just Cao Cao's subconscious worry, and it is with this suspicious worry that he can live to this day, but at this time, he dares to be sure that Dong Cheng and Yang Feng are not lying.
"Where is Dong Gongren, let me go and see him."
Cao Cao asked calmly again.
Dong Cheng laughed, "Gongren is in Yang Fengjun, if you want to see him, I can go and invite him immediately." β
"Okay, there's General Lao Dong."
As for whether you really want to go tomorrow, you still have to meet Dong Gongren again to decide, and some things still have to be determined in advance, otherwise hidden dangers are still prone to appear.
β¦β¦
Not long after, Dong Zhao was invited to Cao Cao's army.
All the way to the main tent, his face was full of excitement, and he was already sweating profusely all the way, and he didn't know whether he was excited or worried.
After all, he has always regarded himself as Cao Cao's envoy and mediated between these generals for him, not only to observe words and feelings, but also to lie about rewards and missions.
And his worries lie on top of these missions.
When he met Yang Feng at the beginning, Dong Zhao lied that he had Cao Cao's letter, promised heavy profits, promised Yang Feng too many benefits, and at the same time threatened with power, both pronged.
That's how you can be trusted.
These things were all said by Dong Zhao without informing Cao Cao, if these things were known to Cao Cao, I don't know how to deal with them.
When he arrived at the main tent of the barracks, Dong Zhao saw Cao Cao on the main seat at a glance.
In a black robe and black clothes, wearing a crown and hat, his beard is quite thick, his figure has gradually become rich, not tall but very majestic, and his expression is even more majestic and cunning.
That look was just a glance that made Dong Zhao feel bottomless.
"In Xia Dong Zhao, the word Gongren, I have seen Ming Gong."
Cao Cao's face did not change, and he didn't want to return the salute, but stared at Dong Zhao a few more times, knocked on the case a few times, and cleared his throat.
He said in a deep voice: "Dong Gongren, your brother, followed Zhang Miao to make trouble in Chenliu, do you know?" β
"Ming Gong! This matterβ"
"Don't panic, I'm just asking if you know?"
"Below, below I don't know ......"
"Oh, I didn't know at the time, my younger brother is really ridiculous, he actually tried to rebel against Yanzhou, Cao Gong is so popular with the people, he is as stupid as a pig, but he is probably not intentional, but was pulled into the water by Zhang Miao and others."
Cao Cao nodded, the expression on his face was a little better, "Your younger brother is still the captain of Tuntian, I don't blame him." β
"Oh......"
Dong Zhao breathed a long sigh of relief, his round face was full of smiles, and after bowing deeply, he said again: "Thank you Cao Gong for your kindness, so I can rest assured." β
"This brother has never been successful, if I can see him again, I must teach him a good lesson."
"Well, maybe there is a chance," Cao Cao stared at him for a long time, and suddenly smiled, "Gongren, I look at your face, you are quite friendly, and you are worthy of being able to maneuver between many generals." β
Dong Cheng smiled honestly and immediately bowed down, "I don't dare to boast in front of Cao Gong, I just tried my best to do things for Cao Gong, and now I have to order General Dong and General Yang to invite Cao Gong to welcome the Son of Heaven, and I know that it has been done." β
"It's just...... At that time, in order to win over General Yang Feng, he made a lot of promises for the lord," Dong Zhao laughed embarrassedly.
Then he informed Cao Cao of everything he said to Yang Feng at that time.
Hearing this, Cao Cao's face immediately turned pale, nodded slowly, his face kept smiling, showing a look of appreciation, and suddenly the corners of his mouth rose, and he reached out and patted Dong Zhao's shoulder, "Haha, if you don't enter the ranks, you can become a businessman." β
"Knowing how to sell is also a skill, and with such eloquence, you can take Yang Feng down."
"Yes, yes, it is indeed a talent, Dong Gongren, you can follow me in the future and work for me, your Dong family will definitely be prominent in the future, and you will be crowned a marquis."
When Dong Zhao heard this, he was really relieved, so Cao Cao didn't blame him, but praised him a lot.
That's it!
That's great!
The worries of this period of time are frightened, and the left and right sources are not in vain.
Cao Gong is really magnificent, broad-minded and can tolerate the world, and he will definitely be able to accommodate my Dong brother, which is much better than in Yuan Shao.
Dong Zhao was not only happy, but in fact Cao Cao was also even more pleased, he thought that Dong Zhao would be deceived by Yang Feng and Dong Cheng, or he did not take it, and he boasted in the letter for his merits.
But now it seems that this is not the case.
Not only did he subdue both of them for Cao Cao, but also invisibly established Cao Cao's main position on this trip.
No wonder when he first met Dong Cheng, he didn't dare to have any disrespect.
Even when he heard that he had only 8,000 men and horses.
However, Dong Cheng probably didn't know that although only more than 3,000 of these 8,000 elite tigers and leopards had war horses, and the rest were mostly horses, they were definitely several times more than their enemies.
"Okay, then I'll rest assured, follow me to see the Son of Heaven tomorrow, and then send the Son of Heaven to Luyang according to the previous appointment, and then you will all have the merit of protecting the Son of Heaven."
"Gongren can also retire and be reunited with your brother."
Cao Cao slapped the back of his hand, a sincere smile on his face.
Dong Zhao only felt that his heart was warm at this time, and his face was so warm that he couldn't suppress his joy and smile at all, Cao Cao not only blamed him, but also was so atmospheric.
"Gongren can see the lord, it is really like being in the warm sun, and after that, he is willing to sincerely return, and there is no second heart."
Cao Cao smiled mysteriously, "Do you really think so?" β
"If this is the case, I will smear my liver and brain on the ground to repay the kindness of the lord!"
"Good, good!"
The ministers clasped their hands together, and in this main tent, it was delightful and moving.
At this time, Xun Yu was on the side, nodded with relief, and gave his hand from the side, He Xi Cao Cao received another talented man, although he was not a talent in internal affairs, but he was familiar with foreign affairs, eloquent, and extremely delicate.
Congratulations too.
β¦β¦
In the early morning of the second day, Cao Cao followed Yang Feng and Dong Cheng all the way to meet the Son of Heaven.
Walk through the wreckage and ruins of the old capital of Luoyang all the way to the main hall.
This main hall is considered to have been renovated, but there are still dilapidated places that can not be repaired finely, and the tile roof on the main hall has been broken for a long time.
Not to mention that the pillars of the corridor in front of the main hall were blackened by the fire, but they have been wiped many times now, but they can't be wiped clean.
The traces left by Dong Thief can no longer be erased in this Luoyang City.
In other words, in the hearts of the people of Luoyang and the Son of Heaven, it is like a pillar of the court, and it has become an indelible shadow.
In the main hall, Cao Cao had just entered, and when he looked up, he could see a person, wearing a black python robe, sitting on a luxurious seat, with one hand on the black case in front of him, and the other hand supporting the body and standing up slightly.
Looking.
seems to take into account his identity, and the movements are not too obvious, he wants to hold his chest up but he can't straighten it, his eyes are erratic, and he seems to look and avoid.
This was the first time the two looked at each other.
Cao Cao immediately walked quickly, and then changed to a hurry, changed to a small step and bowed to the front of the palace, prostrate on the ground and called His Majesty, three times in a row, before he arrived in front of Liu Xie.
This is a great gift from your subordinates.
This ceremony is still last night Xun Yu asked Cao Cao to be like this, in order to conform to the etiquette of the foreign ministers, but not to make the Son of Heaven frightened, after all, when Dong thief entered Luoyang and Li Guo rebelled, these people had never had such respect.
They have never taken the Son of Heaven in their eyes, they only regard it as a plaything in the palm of their hands.
At this time, Cao Cao was so respectful that it caused an uproar in the civil and military forces above the main hall, and even many people had tears in their eyes, almost crying.
Rare, rare loyalty to the king's heart!
A prince who is abroad, seeing that the Son of Heaven is so respectful, this is the loyal minister of the Han Dynasty! It's much better than the rest of the princes.
Even his own imperial uncle Liu Jingsheng did not come to the court, but he sent someone to report the situation in Jingzhou last year, but when he issued an edict to ask for help, he could not see the soldiers and horses in Jingzhou.
"Minister! Yanzhou Mu Cao Cao, see His Majesty the Son of Heaven, Your Majesty has suffered!! It's too late for help! β
"Aiqing......" Liu Xie heard the word suffering, and his heart was really touched, as if all the suffering of these years came all at once.
My nose was sore, and I almost didn't cry.
"Aiqing's heart, I feel it, the old capital of Luoyang is dilapidated, thank you Aiqing for sending the court, the princes of the world, only Cao Aiqing is truly loyal to the monarchy."
"It's really my loyal servant of the Han Dynasty."
"It's really a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty!! My heart, very relieved, I am the martyr of the Han Dynasty, thank you Aiqing! β
"Your Majesty is terrified."
Cao Cao prostrate on the ground again, and then when he got up again, he didn't look at the eyes of the Son of Heaven, but stared at the floor, and said with emotion: "However, the ministers only came here, and they saw that Luoyang was indeed broken, and the surrounding palace walls were not guaranteed. β
"Your Majesty should not set the capital again, otherwise if we encounter thieves again, it will be difficult for us to hold on for a long time, and the fields around Luoyang have long been damaged, and they cannot be cultivated, and there will be more food shortages."
"So, what does Aiqing think?"
The Son of Heaven subconsciously looked at the two Hanchen standing on the left.
If I remember correctly, Yang Feng and Dong Chengke were both ordered to repair the palace, and they would definitely not let the rest of the princes take me away at will!
Hurry up and say a word, refuse this Cao Cao!
I just want to live in the Luoyang Imperial Palace.
Who knows, Dong Cheng, who was in the first place, immediately stood up and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal!" In the lower opinion, Luoyang is not suitable for stationing troops, and I am afraid that he will not be able to protect the safety of His Majesty. β
"If there are invaders from the princes outside the Guan, it is difficult to keep it for a long time, so it is better to migrate to the south and settle in Luyang."
"The land of Luyang is suitable for our troops, and it is in the territory of Yuzhou, close to General Cao's territory, and he can come to see His Majesty at any time."
Yang Feng is not tall, his limbs are quite thin, at this time, his eyes turned, he thought for a moment, and he also stood up, hugged his fists and said: "The last general, I also seconded the proposal, what General Dong said is extremely true, the land of Luyang is the best." β
"Not bad!"
At this time, many scholars in the main hall were looking at each other.
The old man stroked his beard, his eyes questioning, and his mouth remained silent, for many years as an official had already seen many things in the court.
Such a scene is irreparable at first glance.
At this time, the three people with soldiers and horses all agreed to move the capital and move the capital to Luyang, so what else is there to talk about, they can't avoid it.
Moreover, Zhang Yang and others are indeed proud of their achievements, and gradually have the feeling of Li Guo and the others, if they really let them come to Luoyang, I am afraid that everyone's life will not be easy in the future.
Although Cao Cao is a male lord outside, his attitude towards the Son of Heaven should be much better than those rough generals and barbarians outside the gates.
When the Son of Heaven saw Dong Cheng say this, he kept peeking at him, but found that Dong Cheng had been motioning for him to nod, so that his heart was a little settled.
He also nodded, "Ladies and gentlemen, what you said is not unreasonable, Luoyang is dilapidated, and it is not suitable to live for a long time, since it is ...... Since Cao Qing's family has come to take over, then I will move to Luyang with Qing's family. β
"Cao Qing's family, I, I want to return Fei Tinghou to the Qing family...... Order you to inherit Fei Tinghou. β
Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, his heart suddenly trembled, and the corners of his mouth subconsciously raised, for him, this news was too sudden, but it was actually a surprise!
Fei Tinghou, a year after his father was a lieutenant, was erased due to the dismissal of his official position, and he came back at this time, and he could continue to inherit it, which was a gesture of goodwill.
"Haha, thank you Your Majesty for your love."
"Let's go, Your Majesty."
Cao Cao bowed and prostrate, and Liu Xie's heart was a little settled and a little relaxed.
That morning, before many civil and military officers had time to speak, Dong Cheng and Yang Feng had already gathered up and sent troops into the palace to help the officials and maids in the palace carry away a large amount of property and carry a large amount of grain and grass.
With Cao Cao's soldiers and horses as the mainstay, including the carriages and horses that escorted the Son of Heaven and his concubines, he left the old capital of Luoyang and traveled all the way to the south.
And Yang Feng and Dong Cheng's soldiers and horses also followed, gradually moving away from Luoyang.
By this time, everyone was relieved, and their faces were relieved and happy.
Finally escaped.
This is the real return to the hinterland of the Central Plains, no longer controlled by those Xiliang people.
Dong Zhao was the happiest, he went south from Yuan Shaojun, he thought it was an idle errand, but he didn't expect to be able to contribute to such a big event!
In the future, there will be favors in General Yang Feng and General Dong Cheng.
In particular, he was praised by the lord Cao Cao, and met Cao Cao, a warm-hearted, benevolent and kind lord, how could he not be reused when he arrived in Luyang?
At this moment, he was even thinking about how to choose which pavilion his fief was in.
However, suddenly Dong Zhao felt that something was wrong.
This road doesn't seem to be going to Luyang.
He immediately tightened his heart, rushed forward, caught up with Cao Cao's carriage, and found that he was in the carriage with his eyes closed, so he shouted: "Lord! Like, turned?! β
Cao Cao opened his eyes slightly, came out with a smile on his face, squinted his eyes and asked, "What direction to turn around?" I originally went to Xu County. β
"What?!"
Dong Zhao chuckled in his heart.
Isn't it Luyang?!
"Lord, this is not the same as what I said before!"
Cao Cao smiled, "Hahaha, I suddenly feel that Xu County is more stable, because I am there, and there are 80,000 soldiers and horses, haha......"
