Chapter 39: Departure

Cao Chao sneezed several times in a row.

He touched his nose and looked at Yanghu not far away.

At this moment, Cao Chao was standing outside the Taiji Hall, watching the soldiers come and go, and Yanghu was commanding.

The palace that was originally silent was now filled with the sound of armor colliding.

Man Changwu stood aside, looking at the scene in front of him seriously.

Cao Chao looked at this big man who was very similar to his father and ancestor, Man Changwu did not have the talent of Man Chong, but in terms of fulfilling his duties, it seemed that there were few people under Cao Chao who could compare to him.

Cao Chao still trusts this person very much.

"Manjun, from today onwards, you will stay here and don't let people enter the temple."

"I can't let anyone in the temple reveal my whereabouts."

Cao Chao commanded, and Man Changwu naturally received the order immediately.

This time, Cao Chao was going to leave the palace, or even Luoyang, and now Sima Zhao's army was deployed in Wude, Huaixian, Yewang and other county towns in Hanoi County.

He himself is in the state and county at the junction of Yewang and Huai County, and the place where Cao Chao is going at the moment is Wen County on the southwest side of the state county.

Because of Cheng Yan's wrong information, Sima Zhao constantly adjusted his position and got higher and higher.

Zhong Hui once analyzed Sima Zhao's thoughts, he probably used Yewang's army as the main attack, approaching Yinping, and he wanted to cut off the gateway between Henan Yin and the Central Plains, so he had such a deployment.

Sima Zhao's current deployment is the most opportunity.

If the army of Ye Wang goes south, there will be many obstacles on the road to Sima Zhao out of thin air, and if Sima Zhao goes south, it will be difficult to get him to Luoyang again.

After much deliberation, Chung Hui decided to do it.

Taking advantage of the fact that the three armies had not yet moved, the army was deployed in Wen County, and directly cut off the "head" of the Hebei army and broke through the prefectures and counties.

After the people sent by Zhong Hui arrived at the palace, Cao Chao did not hesitate and immediately chose to set off.

Cao Chao had to arrive at the scene in person this time.

This is not to say that Cao Chao does not trust Zhonghui, the main thing is to subdue the army, and the emperor needs to come forward in person.

He Zeng and Chen Ben have both been captured by Zhong Hui, but their own positions are vague, it is difficult to say what kind of actions they will have after subduing the army, only the presence of the emperor is the most stable.

Of course, there are certain risks associated with this.

After all, it was a confrontation between the two armies, and Sima Zhao's nearly 100,000 people were distributed in Hanoi, once the plan went wrong and the two sides started fighting, it would become the most brutal battlefield in the Great Wei.

But Cao Chao is not afraid of this so-called risk.

He's been through a lot more risk than that.

But Cao Chao couldn't swagger to Wen County, so he prepared in advance in the temple.

Tonight, he was ready to leave the palace with Yanghu.

Cao Chao didn't take away too many guards in the palace, after all, the situation in Luoyang also had to be guarded against, and the army went on an expedition, so it was not easy to cover it up.

In these days, according to the emperor's orders, the Chinese army often marched in Luoyang at night, and today the emperor went out with the guards, and there was a curfew policy to cooperate, and it was difficult for anyone to find out that something was wrong.

Even if someone finds out, it's hard to intervene and stop it.

Taking advantage of the night, Cao Chao got into the car, Zhang Hua and Cheng Ji followed behind him, and Yanghu personally opened the road, and the group left Luoyang and drove in the direction of Wenxian.

Cao Chao sat in the carriage, ate a few fruits, and then looked at Zhang Hua, who was sitting opposite.

"Zhang Jun, why do you seem a little uneasy?"

Zhang Hua sighed, "Your Majesty, we left Luoyang like this, I am afraid that something will happen in the temple." ”

Cao Chao smiled, "With General Xiahou in charge, it should be no problem, besides, starting tomorrow, the ministers probably won't have the energy to take care of other things." ”

"If something happens in this situation, then we'll just call back."

Zhang Hua is one of the few people who knows the root of this operation, and he still feels that the emperor's plan is really too risky.

Zhang Hua is not against the routine of "beheading", what he objects to is that the emperor himself goes there.

He was a little dissatisfied with Zhonghui.

Zhang Hua believes that Zhonghui's plan should be used for the emperor, but here in Zhonghui, the emperor is used for his plan.

Now the number of Chinese troops gathered in the temple is only more than 20,000 people, and even in order not to arouse the alarm of the rest of Sima Zhao's subordinates, the closest place to them is less than a thousand soldiers.

And Sima Zhao has an army of 100,000 people.

Zhong Hui will act on his own, if the action fails, the temple still has the ability to resist, but if the emperor is also present, the consequences of the failure of the action are simply unimaginable.

Zhong Hui's behavior of letting the emperor take risks to complete the plan made Zhang Hua very angry.

He wanted to persuade the emperor to go back through the safety of the temple, but Cao Chao had made up his mind and fully cooperated with Zhonghui to complete this operation, saying that he was not willing to stay in Luoyang.

Cheng Ji is also in this carriage, the emperor's carriage is huge, if Cao Chao is willing, he can even call five beauties to accompany him to rest in the carriage.

Cheng Ji looked at Zhang Hua's worried face, and said with a smile: "Zhang Jun, you don't have to worry about the situation in Luoyang, I have already released the wrong news to the ministers!" ”

Cheng Ji said proudly: "They probably couldn't sleep all night tonight, and they all felt that His Majesty was going to do it tomorrow, and he wanted to take away their classic power, and the court lieutenant and the Yushitai were fighting, and the ministers didn't dare to be distracted!" ”

Zhang Hua did not speak.

Cao Chao said: "Mao Xian is not worried about Luoyang, he is worried about my safety." ”

When Cheng Ji heard this, he waved his hand again, "This is even more worry-free, I went to Wen County, Your Majesty still has me and General Wen by your side, the two of us are here, who dares to be unfavorable to Your Majesty?" ”

Since Chengji was defeated by Wen Yang, he has been much more polite to Wen Yang, and he no longer dares to call him a gentleman, a general Wen.

Cao Chao thought that he would be jealous of Wenyang and would be at odds with him, but he didn't expect that Chengji didn't have that kind of idea at all, after he got up, he went to see Wenyang, and even went with gifts.

Since then, Cheng Ji has regarded Wen Yang as his best friend, and he doesn't know if Wen Yang recognizes him.

Anyway, in the eyes of Cheng Ji, the two tiger generals around His Majesty are him Cheng Ji and Na Wenyang.

They traveled for a long time, and the next day Yanghu came to tell them what was going on.

Cao Chao asked Zhang Hua and Chengji to get out of the car to guard, and let Yanghu sit in front of him.

"Uncle"

Yanghu sat respectfully in front of the emperor.

Speaking of which, Yanghu's position at the moment is really a bit complicated.

He never explicitly expressed his loyalty to the emperor, but he stood with Cao Chao during the previous coup, and at the same time, he had a deep relationship with the family and even Sima Zhao.

In this coup d'Γ©tat, all those who followed Cao Chao were rewarded.

Cheng Ji, who didn't even do anything, was promoted because of his patrol work, and he also got money and a house.

But the sheep are the only ones who have not received any reward.

This seems to show that in the emperor's heart, Yanghu is not his own person.

Yanghu was very entangled at the moment, and he didn't know who he should belong to.

At the beginning, Cao Chao had approached him and asked him to help him, but Yanghu at that time chose to refuse.

Of course, Yanghu also knew in his heart that if he went to the emperor at this moment and showed his loyalty, he would be able to become the emperor's own person justifiably, but because of his past choices, Yanghu really couldn't pull this face.

He is one of the few people in the group who has a good face.

Cao Chao was also staring at the sheep in front of him at the moment.

There are really not many ministers that Cao Chao can fully trust now, even Zhong Hui, Cao Chao doesn't dare to say that he can trust completely, he can only say that he can trust him on the premise that he can still be counted as a holy king.

Once Zhong Hui felt that he was the Holy King, then something would happen.

And Yanghu is different, if he can get this person's loyalty, Cao Chao can completely trust him and reuse him.

Cao Chao pondered for a while, and then said: "Uncle, I see, after this incident is completed, the temple will be calm, and you, the general of the town guard, will not continue to do it." ”

Yanghu was a little stunned, but he nodded quickly, without the slightest anger or dissatisfaction on his face.

"Yui."

He is purely a halfway monk, Cao Chao can't fully trust him, the position of the people around him has to be handed over to others, and Yanghu has no objections.

Cao Chao immediately said: "You should be the general of Zhenbei for me." ”

"Huh??"

Yanghu raised his head, Yanghu was a very calm person, but here, he was also a little distracted.

General Zhenbei??

That's the Four Towns.

Yanghu's age, among many ministers, is definitely not big, not to mention military qualifications.

For a while, Yanghu felt that the emperor was ridiculing himself.

What is his ability to be the general of the four towns?

But he saw that the emperor's face in front of him was so solemn, and he didn't mean to joke at all.

"Your Majesty! Panic! ”

"How can a minister dare to take on such a heavy responsibility"

Yanghu hurriedly refused.

Yanghu can't be said to be ignorant of military affairs, after all, he has read a lot of books, and he also knows a lot about the art of war, but he has no experience in leading soldiers, let alone any qualifications and military merits.

Cao Chao is very serious.

"Uncle, don't refuse, you are my most trusted general, the land of Hebei, far away from Shu Wu, the reason why I let you be here is to sharpen yourself and give you the ability to lead a large army to fight, and secondly, it is also because of the situation outside Hebei."

"Outside Hebei, there are many Hu people, when Xuanwen Gong started killing in Liaodong and other places, the heads of the people killed were rolling, so that these places were filled with Hu people."

"General Zhenbei, all you have to do is to solve the problem of this side of the fortress."

"This position, if it is handed over to a tyrannical and belligerent general, it may be even worse than the original Xuanwen Gong."

"You will not take the initiative to stir up trouble for the sake of military merits, you also have the morality to appease the people in the border area, and you have the ability to govern the government to divide the Hu people."

"For now, you're the best fit for this position."
