When Liu Yu returned to the Great Sima Mansion and Liu Wei settled the accounts, something happened to the forbidden army camp.

Zhao Yun rode a horse and chased for dozens of miles, but had to stop.

A few years later, Zhao Yun faded from immaturity and was already a mature general, he looked at the south, the corners of his face under the silver helmet were well-defined, and his eyes were like stars.

He was followed by more than a dozen fast horses, one of which was Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu pulled the horse rope and said to Zhao Yun: "General Zhao, Bo Fu cares about his father, and it is understandable to do this." ”

Zhao Yun glanced back at him and said lightly: "If he escapes, you and his uncle Wu Jing may be guilty of capital crimes, is he not aware of it, or do you not know?" ”

Zhou Yu's face changed slightly, and he was silent.

Sun Ce wanted to take Zhou Yu with him, but Zhou Yu gave up in the end.

Sun Ce could leave Wu Jing behind, and Zhou Yu couldn't let their parents take risks.

Although Liu Biao has different intentions, but Luoyang City's will to destroy the entire Zhou clan, Liu Biao will most likely carry it out.

Zhao Yun looked at the direction of Sun Ce's escape again, and had some doubts in his heart.

The management of the forbidden army camp has always been strict, not to mention a person like Sun Ce who has a certain status, even ordinary soldiers cannot easily escape from the camp.

Sun Ce not only escaped, but also took more than a dozen people with him.

Zhao Yun has been in the forbidden army camp for many years, and he knows the rules well, so this matter is indescribably strange.

Knock knock

There was a sound of horses' hooves behind him, and Zhang Xiu came quickly.

Zhao Yun stood over, raised his spear, and said, "Something happened to the camp again?" ”

Zhang Xiu raised his hand and said, "No, it's a message from the palace that Zhonglang will return to Beijing immediately." ”

Zhao Yun glanced in the direction of Luoyang City and said, "Okay." From now on, the forbidden army camp is under martial law, and no one is allowed to enter or leave without my orders! ”

Sun Ce's escape is a matter of great importance, and this kind of thing cannot happen a second time.

"Yes!" Zhang Xiu responded.

Zhao Yun hit the horse and went straight back to Luoyang.

And at this time in Luoyang City, the government and the opposition are still arguing about various things about 'begging Dong'.

Cao Cao, who caused Dong Zhuo to sit on the throne because of the defeat, was naturally the center of the storm, and the voice of impeachment became stronger and stronger, and some people even openly assassinated Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was fearless about this, walking the streets and alleys, not only visiting celebrities from all over the world, but also giving heavy salutes to the ministers of Shangshutai and Liucao, even the former troublesome Liu Xie did not let go.

When Zhao Yun returned to Luoyang City, Cao Cao had just come out of Hucao.

As soon as he left, Xun Yu and Xun Yu met and stood on the steps to see Cao Cao.

Xun You clasped his hands, looked at Cao Cao's back coldly, and said lightly: "What did he say?" ”

Xun Yu said: "I told me the specific situation of the defeat, and asked me for weapons, war horses, grain and grass." ”

Xun You snorted coldly and said, "He really has nothing to fear. ”

That is, Cao Cao, if he were someone else, he would have been a foot tall long ago.

Xun Yu glanced at him and said, "You still don't stop?" ”

Xun You's face was expressionless, and he said: "Cao Cao, after all, it is a big scourge, even if it can't be eradicated now, I will ruin his reputation." ”

At such a time, 'reputation' is the ladder of everything, and if Cao Cao's reputation is bad, he will not be able to reach a certain position and achieve certain things in the future.

Xun Yu shook his head and said, "You don't want to treat Your Majesty as the first emperor, I can see it, and the palace will be clear." ”

Xun You's eyes were indifferent, hiding a trace of detachment, and said: "I didn't do anything wrong, it's Your Majesty who is to blame." If Your Majesty is to be held accountable in person, I will confess my guilt on the ground. ”

Xun Yu's eyebrows moved, and there was a rare look of annoyance.

Xun Yu was a little helpless about this clan uncle, since he concealed the true intentions of the palace, he and this clan uncle have gradually drifted apart, the differences have gradually become clear, and they wrestle secretly, fighting but not breaking.

Seeing that Cao Cao's carriage had disappeared, Xun Yu turned his head to look at Xun Yu and said, "I won't agree to any of the appointments that Cao Cao wanted." In addition, Taicang's money and grain are counted, and if you want to allocate it to Cao Cao, I won't agree. ”

Xun Yu was silent for a moment, and said: "Those appointments that Cao Cao wanted, you deliberately delayed, and if something happens in the future, you will be responsible." As for the money and food, it will come from the camp of the forbidden army. ”

Xun You's expression slowly relaxed, very indifferent.

Seeing this, Xun Yu said, "I'll tell you something, maybe I can change your approach to Cao Cao." ”

Xun Yu hates that Xun Yu has something to hide from him, in his opinion, this clan uncle can come to this day, from the beginning, it is because of him!

Now this clan uncle surpassed him at a young age and sat on the throne of prime minister, but he did not show the 'feedback' he deserved.

At the very least, it should be frank and inexhaustible!

Yes, hearing Xun Yu's words, Xun Yu's eyelids lifted slightly, his eyes were shallow and unfamiliar.

Xun Yu looked at it in his eyes and said: "As early as many years ago, His Majesty gave Cao Cao two roads, one is Shangshutai and the other is Da Sima Mansion, and Cao Cao chose Da Sima Mansion. ”

Xun Yu was stunned, is there such a thing?

After thinking for a while, Xun You said suspiciously: "You mean that Cao Cao gave up Shangshutai and can only stay in the Great Sima Mansion in the future?" Command of the army? ”

Xun Yu said: "It's not just Shang Shutai, since that day, Cao Cao can only be a military general, strictly speaking. The county magistrate, the county warden, and the state shepherd are not allowed to serve. And the Great Sima Mansion does not hold the power of the army. ”

Under Liu Wei's 'New Deal', there are many contents of 'separation of military and government', among which the division of military power in the imperial court is the power of the Great Sima Mansion to transfer troops and dispatch generals, and the power to command the army is in Bingcao.

Xun You knew a lot about the 'New Deal' and the current situation, and his expression was shocked when he heard this, and he said: "In other words, no matter how much credit Cao Cao has in the future, he can only be limited to the Great Sima Mansion?" No soldiers, no power? ”

Xun Yu snorted and said, "It stands to reason that this is the case." ”

Xun You's eyes became weird, and he thought of a lot of things for a while.

He naturally didn't know that Liu Wei had given Cao Cao a choice, and it was also explained here that Cao Cao was so favored, but he had not been added to the official position for many years, only some flashy titles.

Xun Yu pondered for a while, looked at Xun Yu and said: "I can agree to some of Cao Cao's recommendation, but Cao Cao's generals and some people in the shogunate, I want to draw them out." ”

Xun Yu shook his head and said, "The big war is coming, and you will shake the morale of the army by doing so." I discussed with Da Sima that when Liu Bei arrives in Beijing, we will have a banquet for them in Shangshutai. ”

Xun Yu saw that this clan uncle did not back down at all, his eyes were deep and indifferent, and after making sure that Xun Yu did not respond to his refusal, he turned around and returned to Hu Cao.

Xun Yu didn't keep it, so he could only sigh lightly.

Cao Cao was almost busy, returned to the house, ordered someone to pack his luggage, and prepared to leave Beijing and return to Yingchuan County.

Guo Jia drank wine, looked up at the big sun, and said, "General, there are more southern soldiers." ”

Cao Cao was barely able to walk, wiping his sweat, commanding the family to move the furniture, and it took a while to come to Guo Jia's side, and said in a hot and unbearable manner: "Shangshutai, Liucao, Yushitai, Tingweifu, and Jiusi are all avoiding me, and those who see me are also indifferent, false and polite, and there is no reality." Except for what His Majesty personally designated to me, I can't count on the court at all. ”

Guo Jia shook his head and said: "The world says that 'the Han family will end', not without reason. ”

This kind of words, that is, Guo Jia dared to say in front of Cao Cao, if you change someone, you will be pulled out and cut.

Cao Cao didn't notice it, and said with emotion: "I'm tired of fame." ”

Guo Jia smiled and said, "Have you seen King Chen Liu?" ”

Cao Cao leaned on the door frame, looked at Cao Ang practicing his sword not far away, and said, "I've seen it, promise me to intercede with Shang Shutai." However, it was also made clear that the relationship between His Majesty and Shang Shutai seemed to be a little strained, and his words might not be useful. ”

"Ahem, ahem,"

Guo Jia was choked by the wine, tilted his head to look at Cao Cao, and said, "The relationship between Shang Shutai and His Majesty ...... 'tense'?" The rumors are true, Your Majesty is suspicious of the 'Yingchuan Party'? ”

Cao Cao's face was as usual, and he said, "No." I have carefully inquired that it is the 'New Deal', and His Majesty is very dissatisfied with the progress of the 'New Deal' implemented by Shang Shutai, and has exerted unprecedented pressure. ”

Guo Jia didn't drink anymore and looked pensive.

Guo Jia is also from Yingchuan, but he is a small family, and there is a world of difference from the Xun family.

It's not that I don't know.

On the contrary, Guo Jia also has a certain reputation, which has been appreciated and funded by the Xun family.

Naturally, he doesn't care about these, but once the 'Yingchuan Party' really falls out of favor, it will be the next 'Yuan family', and it may be more extensive than the Yuan family!

It was an extremely terrifying scene, and Guo Jia's scalp tingled when he thought about it.

Guo Jia didn't like the imperial court, and he didn't like this kind of deceit, so he nodded silently and said, "Will the general attack tomorrow?" ”

Cao Cao was just about to speak, when he saw the big-bellied Mrs. Bian and led Cao Pi over.

"What's the matter?" Cao Cao quickly straightened up, his face grim.

In front of his sons and juniors, Cao Cao has always been a strict elder.

Mrs. Bian glanced at Guo Jia, a little hesitant.

Guo Jia smiled slightly, turned around and walked inside.

Mrs. Bian approached and whispered in Cao Cao's ear: "Someone has arranged a woman for the general, please take a concubine." ”

Cao Cao's face changed suddenly, he looked at Cao Pi, and said in a deep voice: "Heard? ”

Cao Pi was afraid of Cao Cao and said timidly: "I heard it." ”

"You can't tell anyone about it, you know?" Cao Cao's expression became more and more stern.

Cao Pi didn't know why, and he didn't dare to think about it, so he said directly: "I know." ”

Cao Cao examined him for a while, and then scolded Mrs. Bian: "Sheji is in danger, how can I, Cao Cao, covet these?" Tell those people that if they dare to mess around, they will not come and go! ”

Mrs. Bian was stunned, Cao Cao hadn't taken a concubine for a few years, and it seemed that there were no women outside.

Why did you suddenly change sex?

In the eyes of Mrs. Bian, her husband is lustful, she can't walk when she sees a beauty, and she has taken a concubine for a few years, which is really incredible!

Cao Cao snorted coldly and continued: "Also, those people in the past, try not to move around. ”

Before Liu Wei succeeded to the throne, Cao Cao was in his thirties, still good, greedy for money, lustful, chivalrous, and made I don't know how many fox friends and dogs.

Mrs. Bian was frightened by Cao Cao, and responded again and again, holding a big belly and leading Cao Pi to hurry away.

Cao Cao's expression was a little ugly, and his eyes flickered.

Why doesn't he want to take a concubine, he has traveled north and south for so many years, and he has seen many lovely little daughters-in-law and widows, but Liu Wei has given him a will, and he wants to ask for his consent to take a concubine!

This originated from He Xian's wife Yin, and Cao Cao did not succeed.

But if you go to the palace to ask for your life because of a mere concubine, there is only one possibility - Cao Cao is dizzy!

Guo Jia walked out of it, drank wine, and said, "General, what did that imperial master Shangshu say?" ”

Cao Cao calmed his mind, recalled for a moment, and said: "It's very good to speak, and he promised me a lot of equipment." ”

Guo Jia stood next to Cao Cao and looked at Cao Ang in the courtyard leisurely.

Cao Cao couldn't wait for Guo Jia's words, so he was suddenly stunned, and after careful consideration, he didn't find anything missing, and said suspiciously: "The words of filial piety mean something?" ”

Guo Jia smiled slightly and said, "The general should find an opportunity to visit that Imperial Captain." ”

Cao Cao didn't have much impression of Huangfu Jianshou, but with his status and status, he still clearly knew what Huangfu Jianshou was doing, and he had also seen some secret information in the Great Sima Mansion!

"No one can be found,"

Cao Cao wiped the sweat from his head and said, "This person's whereabouts are erratic, and no one knows it except in the palace." If you want to use the information in his hand, I'm afraid it's not easy. ”

Guo Jia laughed and drank.

At this point, I believe that Cao Cao has a way to do it.

Cao Cao was sweating all over his head, touching the sweat of his beard, and said: "There is also bad news, it seems that Cao Cao's side is preparing to purge some people, including the Black Mountain Army and the Yellow Turban Army that I recruited." ”

"Cleaning?"

Guo Jia was a little surprised, and said, "Doesn't the imperial court want stability?" Isn't this fearful of provoking these people to rebel again, or to make rebellions flourish everywhere? ”

Cao Cao's narrow eyes were unusually calm, and he said, "Your Majesty is dissatisfied with Shang Shutai, and Shang Shutai naturally has to respond. ”

Guo Jia thought of Wang Yun's use of 'cutting redundant officials' to carry private goods against the 'Yingchuan Party'.

Guo Jia took a sip of wine, shook his head and said with a smile: "From ancient times to the present, this court has changed waves of people, but there are not many new things. ”

"It's not new at all."

Cao Cao was also a person who witnessed Wang Yun's time, and when he saw Cao Ang put away his sword, his expression moved slightly, and he said: "I have some friendship with Shi A, the guard of the Huangfu Captain, I want to try to contact the Huangfu Captain through him, no matter how bad it is, I can ask Your Majesty directly." ”

Guo Jia didn't care, Cao Cao had enough ability and wisdom, but he just needed to overcome his own character flaws.

"Master,"

A domestic servant ran through the box and the domestic servants who came and went, ran to Cao Cao, and said, "The news from the Chenliu Palace, that the Empress Dowager is seriously ill. ”

Cao Cao waved his hand and glanced at Guo Jia, but he was not too shaken.

Guo Jia looked in the direction of Chen Liuwang's mansion and said pointedly: "Your Majesty can allow Chen Liuwang to live until now, this forbearance and courage are very comparable. ”

Cao Cao saw with his own eyes the danger of fighting for the throne in front of the coffin of the Spirit Emperor, and now His Majesty almost failed to sit on it.

Afterwards, the Empress Dowager Dong and the Twelve Standing Servants did not give up, and something very happened, Yuan Shu even pretended to be Emperor Ling's edict and rebelled, and Chao didn't know how much he asked Liu Wei to execute Liu Xie.

But the palace has always emphasized 'filial piety to fathers and sons, brothers and friends', and has protected Liu Xie all the way to the present.

Cao Cao nodded slightly, his long narrow eyes flashing with condensation and deep jealousy.

His Majesty's forbearance and methods in the palace are indeed extraordinary, at least, if it were him, Liu Xie would definitely not survive the second day of taking power!

Guo Jia silently picked up the flask and drank, and glanced at Cao Cao.

He has always remembered the word 'Xu County' in his heart.

Guo Jia has already understood Liu Wei's question about 'Xu County', which is directed at Cao Cao, and profoundly foreshadows His Majesty's direct warning to Cao Cao in the palace.

But Cao Cao didn't notice it.

Guo Jia didn't plan to tell Cao Cao either.

He is Cao Cao's staff and needs to plan a safe way for Cao Cao.
