Chapter 062 Heading West
The right to interpret classics and history has always been monopolized by aristocratic families, so they can serve as officials for generations. Cao Cao's behavior of manipulating Cao Pi threatened the monopoly of the noble family.
Letters from the aristocratic families were sent to Cao Cao's office like snowflakes. Although they were all afraid of Cao Cao's butcher knife, this kind of thing shook their foundation and they had to do something for it.
Xun Yu, who was sitting in the office, had a headache. Why should such a mess be left in the hands of a person from a noble family like himself? I am also a noble!
At this moment, Cao Cao was riding leisurely across the Songshan Mountains. Cao Pi and Cao Ang were also following him. Cao Cao did not leave Xu County because of the mountains of papers from the aristocratic family. Cao Cao left this time because the emperor Liu Xie had arrived in Luoyang.
Cao Cao specially sent Xiahou Dun back to Xu County to stabilize the situation, and he brought his legitimate son and beloved son to meet the emperor. During this period, the only unlucky person was Xun Yu.
"My lord, is Hua Tuo's Fangzhongshu useful? You can also teach me." Guo Jia shyly approached Cao Cao and said. When Cao Pi heard this sentence, he felt that it was a disgrace.
At dusk, the north wind blew away the rain, and several thin peaks emerged from the clouds. Songshan Mountain is so beautiful, but you two are here discussing these frivolous matters. Even Cao Ang, who was tempered and steady in the army, heard the two of them.
Even if you whisper, your face will get hot.
The two of them were frothing at the mouth, and their voices were getting louder and louder. Cao Pi looked at the excited Guo Jia and cursed, "What's wrong with Guo Fengxiao's painting style? He's crazy and lustful. I don't know if there is anyone in later generations who is so awesome?"
/p>
"Father, why do we bring so many soldiers this time?" Cao Ang couldn't help but interrupt the conversation between the two and asked a question that even he thought was a bit stupid.
"Zi Lian is now blocked outside Luoyang City. Do you know who Han Xian and Yang Feng are?" Cao Cao put away his ecstatic expression and educated Cao Ang seriously.
"They are Baibo thieves." Cao Ang answered honestly.
"So I have to be more generous with my gestures, because the emperor's remaining sins are not yet gone." Cao Cao said with a sly smile.
Cao Ang nodded in agreement, while Cao Pi looked at the mountain scenery boredly. If the aristocratic families in Xu County had not caused trouble in front of Cao Cao's house, Cao Pi would probably be holding the opening ceremony of Xu County University in Da Cao right now.
"Here we come." Cao Cao said with a smile as he looked at the motorcade not far away.
"My lord, you can accept it this time, otherwise their patience will be worn out by you." Guo Jia's playful smile made Cao Pi wonder, who is on top of this chariot?
Cao Pi quickly got the answer, because the voice of the person who came was really distinctive. This person was from Xiaohuangmen in Luoyang City. He had a strange tone that made everything he said sound like a yin and yang. It was really
It was very difficult for Cao Pi to forget.
"Mr. Cao, please accept His Majesty's reward. I have already made my third trip." Xiao Huangmen's face looked tired. He had fulfilled his mission and was tired of traveling and traveling. Xiao Huangmao was also miserable.
p>
"I have only made a small amount of achievements, how dare I accept such a high position?" Cao Cao said with a look of fear.
"Sir Cao, don't be humble. Your Majesty has just returned to Luoyang. There is no food or soldiers in Luoyang City. It is thanks to your care that you can survive the difficulties. Your Majesty is deliberately promoting you." Xiao Huangmen
Seeing that Cao Cao was wavering, he hurriedly persuaded him, saying that Cao Cao had sternly refused the previous two times.
"Alas... Since Your Majesty values me so highly, I can't betray the Holy Will." After Cao Cao said that, he knelt on the ground in the direction of Luoyang. Everyone around Cao Cao imitated Cao Cao's actions.
Xiaohuangmen was overjoyed. He finally no longer had to travel back and forth, and he could finally pay Yang Feng a favor.
After Xiaohuangmen read out a lengthy edict, Cao Cao formally accepted the official position of General Zhendong and inherited the title of Feitinghou from his grandfather Cao Teng. Cao Cao wrote a letter of thanks and gave it to Xiaohuangmen.
Huangmen respectfully accepted Cao Cao's thank you note.
"Fei Tinghou, congratulations on your promotion. My mission has been completed. Now I will go back and report to Your Majesty. I will have to seek your protection in Luoyang in the future." Xiao Huangmen said goodbye to Cao Cao and drove away.
p>
Under normal circumstances, the person who was granted the title would give some money to the Xiao Huangmen who sent the message as a reward, but this Xiao Huangmen did not have the courage to ask Cao Cao for it, because the black man next to Cao Cao looked fierce, and Cao Cao was purging Yanzhou.
Everyone in the court knew about the rebellion against the nobles.
"Father, is this the emperor's intention?" Cao Pi asked with some confusion.
"No, this is what Yang Feng meant. When he first arrived in Luoyang, he was short of food and grass, so I gave him some. Now this is Yang Feng's reward for me." Cao Cao said with a smile.
"Now that we have achieved our goal, do we still need to go to welcome the emperor?" Cao Ang was a little confused. He didn't understand what Cao Cao was going to do in Luoyang this time.
"Of course I have other things to do when I go to Luoyang this time." Cao Pi couldn't figure out what Cao Cao wanted. Guo Jia looked at Cao Cao with a wicked smile. It seemed that he already knew Cao Cao's true intention...
Time passed very slowly, as if Cao Cao was waiting for something. They had been lingering on the boundary of Songshan Mountain for three days. Songshan Mountain is one of the five mountains, with towering mountains that pierce the sky.
"Lord, there is a letter from Dong Zhao." Guo Jia handed the letter in his hand to Cao Cao. His face was not very good-looking, and he was not used to living in a military camp.
"Dong Cheng and Han Xian are about to fight. It's the best time for us to enter Luoyang." Cao Cao said with a smile. He has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. Cao Hong is still outside Luoyang City because of Dong Cheng's obstruction.
Stationed.
"It seems that Dong Zhao has helped your lord a lot." Guo Jia hit the mark and Cao Cao laughed. He admired Dong Zhao's talent. Dong Zhao also helped Cao Cao in the process of building bridges with the court.
A lot of work.
The army set out and arrived outside Luoyang City in only half a day. Cao Hong was very bitter when he saw Cao Cao. If it weren't for Cao Cao's plan, Cao Hong would have even wanted to send troops to attack the city.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Cao Hong came to Luoyang a long time ago to encircle and suppress the Yellow Turban bandits, aiming to clear the way for Liu Xie to return to Luoyang. However, when Liu Xie entered the city, Wei General Dong Cheng refused Cao Hong's request to enter the city. Cao Hong's headquarters was in the city like this
The outer quilt has been left to dry for more than a month.
"Brother, you don't know how arrogant these people are. When they first came here, they were all starved to death, but now they want to raise their heads to the sky. If you ask me, I shouldn't give food and grass to these guys."
Cao Hong said resentfully.
"There is no need to be angry, Zi Lian. Dong Cheng has a grudge against Han Xian. Dong Cheng must rely on our strength. We will be able to enter the city soon." As soon as Cao Cao finished speaking, there were soldiers outside the door reporting the news of Dong Cheng's envoy.
, "Look, isn't this coming?"
"Brother, what a wonderful plan!" Cao Hong praised.
"Invite him in." The envoy was very surprised when he saw Cao Cao, because the purpose of his coming here was to let Cao Hong contact Cao Cao to lead troops into the city, but he did not expect that Cao Cao himself was sitting in the military camp.
"General, Mr. Dong asks you to lead troops into the city." The envoy said in fear when he saw Cao Cao.
"Then why did General Dong stop me when I sent Zi Lian here?" Cao Cao asked, pretending to be dissatisfied.
"One moment and another, Han Xian is now doing evil things in both the government and the public, and even sleeps on the dragon's bed. The only person who can save your majesty and the courtiers now is General Cao." The messenger burst into tears. If Cao Cao didn't know what Dong Cheng wanted,
Eliminate dissidents, and you will almost believe the performance of this messenger.
"What? As a Sili captain and a general, how could Han Xian do such a rebellious thing!" Cao Cao said angrily.
"Please also ask the general to lead troops into the city!" The messenger's nose kept dripping with tears, but he had other thoughts in his heart. My acting skills are really outstanding!
"Okay! I must kill the traitor Han Siam! Clean up the government and the public for Your Majesty!" Cao Cao completed all his performances with dedication.
Under Cao Cao's command, the garrison outside the city began to march towards Luoyang City. Han Xian's confidants on the city tower were shocked when they saw this scene and broke out in a cold sweat.
Does Cao Hong have no brains? How dare he lead troops to attack the city? Could it be that he wants to break away from Cao Cao and steal the little emperor to stand on his own?
Just as he was thinking hard, he discovered something even more terrifying.
Damn it, why did the city gate open?
……
"General! Oh no! Cao Hong outside the city is preparing to attack the city!"
"Cao Hong wants to attack the city? Let our brothers attack first. I'm going to see the little emperor now."
"But the city gate has been opened!"
"What? This Dong Cheng is such a villain!" No matter how stupid Han Xian was at this moment, he understood that this was a conspiracy between Dong Cheng and Cao Cao. It's a pity that Han Xian, the general, didn't have enough seats, "Hurry and run from the south gate.
, let’s go to General Yang’s place.”
……
Cao Cao looked at the word "Luoyang" on the city tower. Once upon a time, he was working hard to conquer Luoyang. His old friends left one by one, but now he is the only one standing here.
"What's wrong, my lord? Is there an ambush?" Dian Wei asked in confusion.
"Nothing, let's go into the city." Cao Cao's thoughts were interrupted by Dian Wei. He just felt a little sentimental before leading his two sons into Luoyang City.
The outer city has long lost its former prosperity. Cao Cao passed by the wine shop where he often came to have fun with Yuan Shao and others. The sign of the wine shop was still hanging, but there was no one in the house.
The people walked numbly on the streets, and the soldiers passed by them without even looking back.
In the inner city, all the mansion doors are closed, like a dead city.
Outside the palace city, a few soldiers were guarding the palace gate and shivering.
