Chapter 45: The Path of the Adulterous Male
Yuan Shu received the news and learned that Cao Cao Xingshi had moved the King of Qin, and his mind suddenly became active.
At this time, he was already planning to become the emperor, and he had no respect for the Han family for a long time, so he sent his subordinate general Chang Nu to enter Runan first to test the movements of Cao's army.
Chang Nu's idea is very simple, after entering Runan, he is ready to seize Pingyu first, and then enter Yingchuan, then from Yingchuan to the north, it is Hanoi, although Yuan Shu does not want to be Qinwang, but he can enter Hanoi, and he does not mind adding two fires to the already chaotic Son of Heaven.
For Yuan Shu, the more chaotic the Son of Heaven, the better.
It is better if the Son of Heaven dies directly, and he usurps the throne openly.
Although the idea is good, Chang Nu also executes it in this way, and after entering Runan, he is ready to attack Pingyu as quickly as possible.
However, the army led by Chang Nu had just arrived twenty miles outside Pingyu and was attacked by Cao's army in a dense forest.
"Watari no God is clever!"
The person in charge of arranging this attack was none other than Man Boning, who was deeply impressed when he saw that the soldiers led by Chang Nu were beaten and dizzy.
Because Chen Zhou said that Yuan Shu would be very restless, and now he is really restless.
"General Le, Chang Nu is handed over to you."
Man Chong said again: "Arrange another army, cut in from the rear, cut off the retreat of Chang Nu, and see if we can leave all these Yuan Shu's soldiers outside Pingyu City." ”
The person in charge of leading the army into battle was Cao Cao's subordinate Le Jin, and when he heard this, he said: "Okay! ”
As a result, the ambushed Cao army all appeared.
Under the leadership of Le Jin, he slaughtered Changnu.
Killing Chang Nu was at a loss, and he gathered his subordinates indiscriminately to protect his escape.
Man Zhong went back and wrote a letter, asking people to send it to Luoyang and hand it to Cao Cao, telling Cao Cao that the rear was safe and that he could continue to greet the Son of Heaven.
——
Next.
Cao Cao took Xiahoudun and Cao Ren, a total of 200 people into the city, as far as the eye could see, they were all dilapidated buildings in Luoyang, and there were no nobles in the city, but more people like homeless people, compared with the lively and prosperous past, there was a difference between cloud and mud.
When Dong Zhuo held the Son of Heaven hostage and went west to Chang'an, he set fire to Luoyang, including the palace.
The city of Luoyang is already dilapidated, and the palace is naturally not much better, but Liu Xie is back again, and he will simply repair the palace and live in it temporarily, whether to rebuild the palace in an all-round way, these will be talked about later.
"I didn't expect it to become like this."
Cao Cao said with emotion.
Xiahoudun said incomprehensibly: "Luoyang is like this, why does the Son of Heaven still want to return to the east in every possible way?" ”
Cao Cao said: "The Son of Heaven returned to the east in order to get rid of Guo Yan and Li Dao, and the Son of Heaven was so afraid of them. ”
As soon as they said this, they all laughed.
It is no secret that the Son of Heaven is afraid of Guo Yan and the others, just as he is afraid of tigers.
While they were talking and laughing, they came to the palace gate.
Cao Cao asked them to wait outside and entered the palace alone, and when they arrived at the same dilapidated hall, they could see some familiar faces, among which Dong Cheng came over to say hello to Cao Cao first.
The other ministers focused their eyes on Cao Cao.
No one expected that Dong Cheng would secretly find Cao Cao Qinwang, as far as they knew, Cao Cao also brought a large army to Luoyang this time, and also brought a faint threat.
After the Yellow Turban was co-opted, Cao Cao's strength expanded rapidly.
Although he fought Xuzhou, and fought with Lu Bu and Zhang Miao, his troops were consumed, but the remaining ones should not be underestimated.
Not long after, Liu Xie finally came.
When he saw Cao Cao standing on the court, his face was not very good-looking.
The Han Dynasty of more than 300 years has fallen so badly in his hands, the princes outside are divided, and they do not obey the orders of the Son of Heaven, and now only Cao Cao can come to King Qin.
But as soon as Cao Cao came, he led the army to suppress Luoyang.
Although it was someone Dong Cheng found, who knows if Cao Cao will be the same as Dong Zhuo, Li Dao and others.
Liu Xie is worried about these things.
"Gentlemen."
"Is there something to do today?"
Liu Xie thought about it for a long time and asked this sentence.
Before the other ministers could respond, Cao Cao was the first to step forward and said loudly: "Minister Cao Cao, please meet Your Majesty." ”
Liu Xie nodded slightly and said: "Cao Qing can come to King Qin, I have a heart, but Cao Qing can play something?" ”
"Yes!"
Cao Cao straightened his waist, looked at Han Xian and Zhang Yang next to him, and continued: "Before the minister came to Luoyang, I heard that Zhang Yang had no son of heaven and named the palace Yang Andian without authorization, which is an arrogance. In addition, Han Xian caused chaos in the government and attacked the general of the chariot without authorization, these two people have the heart of chaos, please Your Majesty take them down to correct the law of the country. ”
Listening to Cao Cao's words, the ministers in the hall were in an uproar.
Cao Cao, this is just coming to kill someone!
"Cao Mengde, what did you say?"
Han Xian shouted first.
Zhang Yang said coldly: "Do we have the heart of chaos, Your Majesty knows very well, but you Cao Mengde led the troops to suppress Luoyang, do you want to follow Dong Zhuo?" ”
"Your Majesty, they have framed the ministers."
Cao Cao said resolutely: "They do not repent, please give death to Your Majesty." ”
"Cao Qing!"
Liu Xie frowned.
Although Han Xian and the others were at fault, they did have a meritorious service.
If it weren't for the two of them, Liu Xie knew that he would never be able to return to Luoyang, and he would have been arrested by Guo Yan and them a long time ago, and said, "This matter ......"
"Your Majesty!"
Before Liu Xie finished speaking, Dong Cheng echoed and said: "Han Xian and Zhang Yang are not dead, it is not enough to correct the law of the country!" ”
In fact, he has long wanted to engage in Han Xian.
At the beginning, he was attacked by Han Xian and had to flee to Yang Feng's side.
If it weren't for inviting Cao Cao to King Qin, Dong Cheng wouldn't even dare to go out of the house.
Dong Cheng is also a person who holds grudges, and now he thinks that he has Cao Cao's army outside to support him, and he can do whatever he wants, and he must kill Han Xian.
"Your Majesty, you know that the minister has always been loyal to the Great Han."
Zhang Yang said loudly: "From Chang'an to Luoyang, the minister escorted all the way, and never thought of trespassing. ”
Han Xian echoed: "The same is true of the minister, if there is no minister, Your Majesty will not be able to return to Luoyang, the loyalty of the minister, please Your Majesty Mingjian." On the contrary, Cao Cao was going to kill the ministers and kill the heroes of the Han Dynasty when he first came, who is the thief of the chaos? ”
Before Cao Cao could refute, Dong Cheng preemptively said: "Your Majesty thinks that Cao Mengde is a thief of chaos?" Meng De assassinated Dong Zhuo, sent a text to crusade against Dong Zhuo, and also conscripted the Yellow Turban, in the whole world, only Meng De was willing to come to King Qin. ”
Hearing Cao Cao's exploits, Liu Xie's frowning brows loosened slightly.
Indeed!
Cao Cao seems to be a loyal man.
The assassination of Dong Zhuo alone has proven to be more loyal than the other princes.
Although Dong Cheng secretly worked on the king, he must have found a lot of people, and now only Cao Cao is willing to come.
Liu Xie believes that Cao Cao still has a big man in his heart.
Han Xian and Zhang Yang did not do it right and should be punished.
But not punishing Zhang Yang and the others, and ignoring Cao Cao's performance, will chill the hearts of the heroes.
Something needs to be done to stabilize Cao Cao, and at the same time punish Han Xian and the two for their faults.
"Your Majesty......"
Han Xian saw that Liu Xie hesitated, and he still wanted to speak.
However, Liu Xie interrupted and said, "What Cao Qing said does make sense. ”
