Chapter 75: On Meritorious Deeds
Next.
Cao Cao took Ma Chao, Duan Xuan and Huang Fuyi and went to Xu Du's palace together.
As for Dong Zhuo's former soldiers who surrendered, including some of the Flying Bear Army, they were all arranged to the barracks and handed over to Cao Ren and Cao Hong brothers to be responsible.
Chen Zhou went to Guanzhong, not only pacified the two states, brought back a fierce general, but also brought him back tens of thousands of soldiers, which was a complete victory.
Now Cao Cao is in a very good mood and has a smile on his face.
Not long after they arrived at the main hall of the palace, the Son of Heaven came.
After everyone finished saluting, Cao Cao first said: "Your Majesty, Li Dao and Guo Yan have been ambushed, Chen Zhou, who oversees the army in the pass, has returned from a great victory, and Zhong Kang will quickly present the head." ”
He originally wanted to take Chen Zhou to the court together, but Chen Zhou was unwilling to go to the court early in the morning, so it was better to sleep lazy at home, so he resolutely refused, so he had to give up.
"Really?"
Liu Xie was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Hurry up and show me." ”
After a while, the heads of the two appeared in front of Liu Xie's eyes.
Liu Xie hated them to the core, even if they turned into ashes, he could still recognize what they looked like, and at this time, he could be sure at a glance that the heads were fine, it was Li Dao and the others, and laughed: "Okay, well done!" Someone came, and hung the heads of the two thieves on the gate of Xudu for three days! ”
When he was done, he felt more refreshed than ever.
The fear that was once dominated by Guo Yan and the others dissipated at this time.
Xu Chu took the head down.
"Cao Qing."
Liu Xie said again: "Where is that Chen Duzhi?" Invite him in, and I will be rewarded. ”
Chen Zhou's name, at the beginning of the festival overseer, was circulated in the Han court of Xudu, but no one had ever seen Chen Zhou, let alone who it was.
They just knew that Chen Zhou was Cao Cao's person, and they were very curious and interested in Chen Zhou, and they all wanted to see what this person who had never even heard of his name before looked like.
"Back to Your Majesty!"
Cao Cao didn't want these rewards, they were given from Liu Xie, Chen Zhou was his own person, so he should be rewarded by himself, and continued: "Chen Duzhi is like an idle cloud and a wild crane, his ambition is to calm the world, he doesn't want an official position, he doesn't want to take care of things, and he doesn't want to get a reward. The minister also wanted to bring him into the court, but he would rather sleep at home than come. ”
"So not interested in fame and fortune, a person with a high wind and a bright festival!"
Liu Xie didn't seem to have any scheming, but after listening to it, he just thought that Chen Zhou was very good.
Such a person, he really wants to know.
At this time, Cao Cao said again: "Whoever kills Guo Yan, Ma Chao and Ma Mengqi!" Those who kill Li Wei, Duan Xuan, Duan Zhongming, Huangfu Yihuangfu Jianshou, too! ”
He looked at the three people standing behind him, and continued: "The two of them are both warriors in the army, without their help, Guanzhong can't be pacified so quickly, and the minister wants to ask for credit for them!" ”
Ma Chao and the three of them listened, took two steps forward, and saluted.
"Meet Your Majesty."
"Good!"
When Liu Xie heard that they had killed the two thieves, he recalled the vacant official positions, and said briskly: "I have appointed Ma Mengqi as a guard lieutenant." ”
Weiwei, the official position of guarding the forbidden palace, belongs to the emperor's personal guard.
Cao Cao listened and guessed Liu Xie's thoughts.
Ma Chao killed Guo Yan, Liu Xie should be full of affection for Ma Chao, so he wanted to promote Ma Chao and cultivate a group of his own personal soldiers.
In this way, no matter where you go, there will be no soldiers to use, and you can only be controlled by others.
Liu Xie actually wants to break this dilemma.
But Cao Cao didn't care at all, he was sure that Ma Chao was co-opted by himself and would not switch to Liu Xie.
Win over a person's confidence, he still has.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Ma Chao thank you.
Liu Xie asked again: "Ma Meng got up from Liangzhou, what is the relationship with General Fubo Ma Yuan?" ”
"The ancestor of the minister."
"That's great!"
Liu Xie was more relieved.
General Fubo is a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty.
"Huangfu Jianshou, what is the relationship with General Huangfu Song?"
Liu Xie asked again.
Huang Fuyi said: "Huangfu Song is the father of the family, and the minister was deceived by Dong Zhuo before and became a thief, which made His Majesty suffer, please give His Majesty the sin." ”
Liu Xie's mind turned, he didn't mean to blame, and said loudly: "Huangfu Jianshou can abandon the darkness and turn to the light, I don't care about the previous things anymore, and Duan Zhongming is the same." Long Xiang Jun is the elite of the Han Dynasty, and he has been in Huayin before, if there is no Duan Zhongming, he doesn't know what to do. I named Huangfu Jianshou as the commander of the cavalry, inherited the old general of Huangfu, and Duan Zhongming was the general of Anxi, and continued to lead the Longxiang army. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The two of them bowed in unison.
The promise given by Chen Zhou at that time has now been fulfilled, and they let go of their hearts.
"You don't need to be polite."
Liu Xie said and asked: "Cao Qing, I still want to reward Chen Duzhi, but how to reward those who are high-spirited and bright?" ”
Cao Cao saw that Liu Xie didn't want to reward something, so he didn't seem to give up, and after thinking about it for a long time, he said: "Chen Duzhi doesn't want much, or Your Majesty will reward him with a little money. ”
"Then give money."
Liu Xie thought that he didn't have much money as he spoke, and then frowned, the Han royal family was too poor.
It's just that there are still some beautiful jade and other jewelry, and people will send two pieces to Chen Zhou.
"Your Majesty."
At this moment, Fu Wan suddenly stepped forward, glanced at Dong Cheng, and said: "Since Guanzhong is pacified and Chang'an is stable, Luoyang was almost burned by Dong Zhuo, and it is not appropriate to go back, but it should be okay to go back to Chang'an, and the minister implores me to move the capital again." ”
When Liu Xie heard this, he frowned.
It was not easy to leave Chang'an, but in fact, he didn't really want to go back.
Moreover, now he feels that Cao Cao is still a loyal minister, and it is good to stay in Xudu, there is nothing wrong with it.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks it is impossible."
Cao Cao glanced sideways, stepped forward and said: "The cost of moving the capital is huge, the road is far away, Your Majesty has just settled down, there is no need to be busy." In addition, Chang'an is close to the Hetao, that place is currently used to house the Huns, those Huns are full of ambition for our Han, not long after Dong Zhuo moved the capital, the Huns went south to burn and plunder, Your Majesty remembers? ”
Of course, Liu Xie remembered it and was still impressed.
It's really dangerous to go back to Chang'an.
Liu Xie said fearfully: "The matter of moving the capital, wait for the rebuilding of Luoyang before we discuss it!" ”
Around Luoyang, there are eight levels of defense.
Liu Xie thinks it is much safer than Guanzhong.
Dong Cheng and others are helpless, now that Cao Cao has the sole power, their relationship with Cao Cao is not good, so they have to give up.
Soon, the court meeting ended.
Cao Cao led Ma Chao and the three of them out of the palace.
"Thank you, my lord!"
The three of them said in unison.
Cao Cao laughed and said: "Thank you for your talent, but with your help, I want to calm the world, it's easier." Wen Ruo, first for the three generals, prepared a residence in Xudu. ”
"Thank you, Lord."
And they said.
Hearing that they were willing to call themselves a lord, Cao Cao was confident that Liu Xie would not be able to win them over.
The people who Watari brought back are still his people after all.
Long Xiangjun and Sanhe Wuxiao can only be his subordinates.
Duan Xuan and Huang Fuyi also knew that they were now taking refuge in the Han Dynasty on the surface, but the Han family withered and could not be supported, and it seemed that they had taken refuge in Cao Cao than in the Han Dynasty.
