Chapter 35 Moving the capital to Xudu

Although Han Xian escaped, Dong Cheng quickly took over Han Xian's army and further strengthened his strength.

At the same time, Guo Ming also prepared a tribute to meet the Son of Heaven, and asked people to make a table of good dishes with pre-made dishes.

Cao Hong asked a little puzzled, "Sir, why do we still have to prepare these meals?" It seems that the Son of Heaven doesn't need these things. ”

"You don't understand this, now the locust plague is serious, since we entered the city, you have also seen it, there are homeless people everywhere, what they eat, bark and roots, weeds and mice, the most the Son of Heaven can drink some rice porridge and barely have enough food and clothing."

"In that case, the food of our army is even better than that of the Son of Heaven." Cao Hong said with a smile.

"That's not it, you look at the whole Luoyang City is full of broken walls and ruins, full of devastation, but it is so desolate, but there are not a few rats, why, because they have all been eaten, of course, this may also be the only common meat of the Son of Heaven."

Cao Hong looked at the dilapidated Luoyang City in front of him, looked at the imperial city full of ruins and ruins, and said with emotion: "I think back then, when I first came to Luoyang City, I looked at the dazzling array of goods around me, and the magnificent buildings were really enviable." But now, it's all gone. ”

The two walked for a long time in the ruins of Luoyang City, because the palace had long been burned by Dong Zhuo and became a ruin, and finally found a guide with a piece of baked cake, and the two found Yang Andian.

Looking at the ruins around him, Cao Hong couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The place where the Son of Heaven lives is not as good as the thatched house in my house." ”

As soon as these words came out, Guo Ming couldn't help laughing, but he still instructed Cao Hong with a serious face: "You can't say this after seeing the Son of Heaven for a while, and you should pay attention to the etiquette that should be paid attention to." ”

"Don't worry."

With the announcement of the eunuch, the two walked into the Yang An Hall with their heads held high, scanning the ministers with yellow faces and thin muscles.

The ministers lowered their heads one after another at the murderous eyes of the two.

Guo Ming looked at the sworn dragon chair, although his face was sallow, he still had an aura of superiority.

"Minister, Guo Ming, a subordinate of Yanzhou Mu Cao Cao, meet Your Majesty."

"Minister, Cao Hong, a subordinate of Yanzhou Mu Cao Cao, meet Your Majesty."

Guo Ming and the two knelt down and said.

"The two Aiqing quickly flattened."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After that, Guo Ming asked people to display the tributes one by one, but Emperor Han Xian's eyes did not have much joy.

But when the meal prepared by Guo Ming came up, Guo Ming obviously saw the shining eyes of Emperor Han Xian, and his stomach was already out of control.

As the aroma of the food filled the entire Yang An Palace, all the ministers were also attracted to their eyes, and even some ministers' saliva flowed out directly, completely unaware of their gaffes.

Emperor Han Xian held back his greed and asked, "Two Aiqing, what do these meals mean?" ”

"Your Majesty, after the two ministers entered Luoyang City, they learned that the fields were seriously damaged and there was a shortage of food, so they knew that Your Majesty had been hungry for a long time, so they specially prepared these meals to fulfill the heart of the courtiers." Guo Ming said respectfully.

Looking at Guo Ming's appearance, even Cao Hong on the side couldn't help but secretly praise Guo Ming's good acting skills.

Emperor Han Xian couldn't help but shed tears after hearing this, and praised me: "This is a loyal minister!" ”

Guo Ming also delivered the meal to Emperor Han Xian, who completely ignored his own manners and ate it directly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what are you still doing in a daze, let's eat."

As soon as Guo Ming's words fell, some ministers pounced on the morning like hungry wolves, and some even fell, and some ministers who were still reserved did not hold back and pounced directly.

Cao Hong looked at the appearance of these people, and couldn't help but lean into Guo Ming's ear and whispered, "Sir, these guys are really starving ghosts and reincarnated." ”

"Who's to say it isn't."

After everyone was full of wine and food, Emperor Han Xian wanted to rest for a while, so he asked Guo Ming and the others to station their troops in the city and wait for the next meeting.

After Guo Ming and the others retreated, Cao Hong also asked suspiciously: "Sir, why don't we go to Yanzhou with the Son of Heaven?" ”

"Don't worry, the lord's order hasn't arrived yet, how can we act on our own?"

So, Guo Ming and the two settled down in Luoyang City first, and Cao Cao's letter was also delivered to Guo Ming within the agreed time.

Seeing that Cao Cao agreed to his plan, Guo Ming began to prepare.

When he met Emperor Han Xian the next day, Guo Ming proposed to ask Emperor Han Xian to temporarily move the capital to Xu County.

"What do you mean?" Emperor Han Xian asked everyone, and he was not in a hurry to make a decision.

Dong Cheng took the lead in standing up and said: "Your Majesty, the temple and mausoleum of the first emperor are all in Luoyang, how can you abandon the ancestors?" This is an act of disloyalty and unfilial piety. Moreover, His Majesty has worked hard many times, how can he suffer from running around again. ”

As Dong Cheng's words fell, the rest of the people also echoed it.

Guo Ming began to explain: "Your Majesty, today's Luoyang City has been ravaged by war, the population is barren, there is no grass, and the locust plague is serious, and there is a shortage of food in the capital, so I just want to ask the Holy Driver to temporarily move to Luyang." Because Luyang is very close to Xu County, it is easier to transport grain in disguise, so there is no worry about a serious shortage of food, and His Majesty will no longer suffer from hunger. ”

Everyone began to discuss, and the final result was that they decided to follow Guo Ming's advice, after all, if they stayed here, they would really starve to death.

After coming out of Yang Andian, Cao Hong also came to Guo Ming's side and asked: "Sir, what about Liang County and Yang Feng, the combat effectiveness of his army should not be underestimated, if we act from under his nose, he will definitely not agree." ”

Guo Mingwan smiled: "The general doesn't need to worry, I have already sent someone to send him some gold, silver and jewelry, and praised him fiercely." ”

"Is it that simple? What if this guy doesn't keep his promise and suddenly attacks us? Cao Hong asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, this guy Yang Feng is brave and unscrupulous, and he is extremely trustworthy, and he still has to guard against Han Xian, and he doesn't have so much energy to take care of us."

At the same time, Han Xian was also struggling to persuade Yang Feng to rob Cao's army and recapture the Son of Heaven, otherwise he would definitely kill himself in the future.

But Yang Feng didn't listen, and said disapprehantly: "Brother, this time you are too worried." ”

Han Xian walked out of the mansion in a daze, looked at the blue sky and said, "We will be harmed by Cao Jun!" ”
