Chapter 198: Military Power
The next day, the palace.
Cao Cao asked for a court meeting, and Liu Xie had to agree.
There was yesterday's hunting incident, and Liu Xie didn't want to see Cao Cao anymore, not for anything else, but simply afraid, for fear of Cao Cao, forcing himself to do something.
and even forced himself to abdicate.
Cao Cao came to the court, and other ministers came one after another.
Liu Bei was no exception, standing on the main hall early in the morning, thinking in his heart, what did Cao Cao want to do in this court?
He was very uneasy.
waited until everyone came, and Liu Xie appeared.
The salute is over.
Liu Xie's voice was obviously trembling, and he said softly: "Do you have something to discuss?" ”
"The minister has a matter that I want to discuss with Your Majesty."
Cao Cao strode forward.
"Cao Sikong has something to do, just say."
Liu Xie can only cater to Cao Cao's wishes, as long as Cao Cao is not angry.
Cao Cao said loudly: "Your Majesty left from Luoyang, there are more than 2,000 Yulin guards by his side, the minister thinks that the number of Yulin guards is not much, dispensable, in Xu Duchen guards are very safe, and Ma Mengqi holds the position of guard captain, Zhijin Wu is enough to protect the safety of the palace, it is recommended to disband the more than 2,000 Yulin army, or incorporate into the minister's army, so as not to waste grain and grass." ”
Liu Xie is still the son of heaven after all, even if he is down, there are some people around him.
From Chang'an to the east, there were more than 2,000 Yulin troops by his side, which was one of the few people he had, but more than 2,000 people, in front of Li Dao and them, there was no way to see enough, even food and grass could not be guaranteed, and the soldiers were so hungry that they panicked and had no combat power.
Although there were a few soldiers, these soldiers were useless, and Liu Xie was still at the mercy.
Now in Xudu, Liu Xie handed over Yu Linwei to Dong Cheng, the subordinate of the general of the chariot cavalry, and finally had a little force.
Now Cao Cao wants to deprive Yulinwei, this is to take away their last soldiers, and if something bad happens, there is no chance to resist.
"Impossible!"
Dong Cheng was the first to object, and it was still a fierce opposition.
This is the last essence of their Liu Han royal family, and it is also the only confidence that Dong Cheng will rebel against Cao Cao in the future, and it is impossible to be taken away by Cao Cao.
"Don't get excited, I'm asking Your Majesty, not your Majesty."
Cao Cao brought Xun Yu and them over last night to discuss this approach, taking this opportunity to take away the only threat from the Son of Heaven, and said, "What does Your Majesty think?" ”
His gaze looked directly at Liu Xie.
It seemed that Liu Xie was unwilling, so he continued to persecute him, and Liu Xie was unwilling.
"Xu Du is very safe now, and Ma Mengqi is in charge of Jinwu, Yulin Wei has not been in war for a long time, and he doesn't even know how to fight, and staying is a waste of grain and grass, and disbanding it can save some expenses."
"If they are incorporated into the minister's army, they can also go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and calm the world for Your Majesty."
"It's much better than simply staying in the palace to mess around, please Your Majesty."
Cao Cao shouted again.
The sound was like thunder, echoing in the main hall, and it was necessary to take away more than 2,000 people.
Wang Zifu objected loudly: "Your Majesty, no! Cao Sikong, Yu Linwei is His Majesty's personal guard, how can you say that it will be disbanded, this is impossible. ”
Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, continued to ask Liu Xie, and said lightly: "Your Majesty thinks, is it possible?" ”
Liu Xie's heart is bitter!
When he first came to Xudu, he also thought that Cao Cao was a loyal minister, and now Cao Cao shows his fangs, which is similar to Dong Zhuo.
In fact, the princes of the world are almost like this.
Liu Xie was really afraid, so he hesitated for a while and said, "I ...... That's it! Then, it will be incorporated into the division of the Air Force. ”
Although Dong Cheng and them kept giving Liu Xie a look, asking Liu Xie not to agree, he was facing a lot of pressure and couldn't help but nod his head.
Hearing this, Wang Zifu and others all shook their heads and sighed.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your permission!" Cao Gong bowed.
Still make one, I am the appearance of a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty.
When Liu Bei saw this, he secretly shook his head in his heart, His Majesty is too weak, not even as good as himself, but in front of Cao Cao, he is not weak and not good.
However, Cao Cao never mentioned yesterday's incident, which surprised him.
"Guys, is there anything else?"
Liu Xie wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and asked again.
Liu Bei saw that Cao Cao had no other problems, so he came out and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has a request, the minister's second brother has committed a heinous crime and dares to hurt Cao Sikong, and the minister requests to arrest him back, please ask Your Majesty's permission." ”
Liu Xie panicked, and always felt that Liu Bei proposed to leave this time, he really wanted to leave and would never come back.
"Even the heroic uncle is going to abandon me?" Liu Xie's heart was gloomy.
I don't know what to do.
Others, like Dong Cheng and others, also felt that Liu Bei was afraid of Cao Cao, so he was about to run away, and couldn't help frowning.
Cao Cao seemed to have been able to guess it a long time ago, Liu Bei made this suggestion, and retorted: "The minister has already ordered someone to hunt down Guan Yu, everything is arranged, and there is no need to trouble Xuande to make a move." ”
Liu Bei explained: "Guan Yu is my brother-in-law after all, and I am responsible for this matter." ”
Cao Cao smiled indifferently: "I don't plan to hold Xuande responsible, this matter has nothing to do with Xuande, Xuande doesn't have to worry about chasing and killing Guan Yu." ”
Liu Bei: "......"
found a name to leave Xu Du, but failed again.
He figured out that Cao Cao didn't want to leave by himself, so what could he do next?
I can only wait for Chen Gong's arrangement.
Thinking of this, Liu Bei had no other opinions and stepped aside.
Today's court meeting is on these two issues.
Seeing that they were no longer playing, Liu Xie announced his retirement from the dynasty and had to go back to the harem to find his Empress Fu and Concubine Dong Guifei to suppress the shock.
Cao Cao walked out of the palace and immediately looked for Cao Hong, and took all the more than 2,000 people away.
At this point, there are no more troops around the Son of Heaven.
The next thing is to take away the power of the ministers and leave them with nothing.
Dong Cheng and the others left with gloomy faces.
However, before walking out of the palace, Dong Cheng came to Liu Bei's ear and said softly: "Uncle Huang also wants to leave?" ”
Liu Bei smiled bitterly: "If I don't leave, Cao Sikong will definitely die if he is eyeing me, and I will definitely die, so that I can find an opportunity to kill back from the outside and reverse the situation!" ”
Dong Cheng suddenly realized, and then said in a deep voice: "Xuande, come to my house in the afternoon, we will discuss some things, but remember, don't let others know." ”
Thinking of the advice given by Chen Gong, building a good relationship with Dong Cheng and others, and relying on them to get a breakthrough, Liu Bei promised: "It will definitely arrive!" ”
"Good!"
Dong Cheng also wanted to try to win over Liu Bei.
You must know that among them, there are still soldiers, and only Liu Bei is left.
If you want to break the game, you have to start with Liu Bei.
However, Dong Cheng thought of his undercover agent again, and decided to ask someone to contact Chen Zhou to see what Chen Zhou thought about this matter, or if he had any useful suggestions.
——
At this time, Chen Zhou was accompanying his wife at home.
It's not clear that Boss Cao has taken away Liu Xie's few, pitiful military power, and he didn't participate in Cao Cao's discussion last night, let alone go to the court early in the morning.
