After making a plan to move the capital in mind, Cao Cao summoned his advisers to discuss the specific details, but these were carried out in secret, because moving the capital would definitely harm the interests of some people, and if there is no sufficient preparation, it cannot be missed.
information.
Taishi Ling Wang Li said to Zong Zheng Liu Ai: "I have recently observed the celestial phenomena at night. Taibai violated the star in the bullfighting. After passing Tianjin, Yinghuo went backwards. He met Taibai at Tianguan and gold and fire. This is a bad sign.
”
Liu Ai smiled and said, "I don't understand the celestial phenomena, please explain it. What does this mean?"
He replied: "It means that the Han Dynasty's energy is about to end. There will definitely be new substitutes in the Jin and Wei places."
Liu Ai disagreed and said, "The way of heaven is normal, how can human power infer it? I don't think it's impossible."
Wang Li shook his head and knew that it was useless to tell the other party that this was useless, so he secretly proclaimed to Emperor Xian, saying: "The destiny of heaven has been arranged, and the five elements will not always flourish. The person who replaced the earth is fire, which replaced the Han Dynasty.
The person who became king in the Central Plains was in Wei."
Naturally, Emperor Xian did not take it seriously, but the news leaked and spread quickly, and arrived at Cao Cao.
As soon as he obtained the news, he immediately felt uncomfortable all over, because this thought often surged in his mind, and he naturally couldn't sit still after being told by someone. So he sent someone to remind Wang Li, saying, "I know you are very
Loyal to the Han court, but the way of heaven is far-reaching, so don't say much, otherwise I will take action."
This incident made Cao Cao think of another person, his adviser Xun Yu. He also knew some celestial numerology, so he went to consult and replied: "The Han Dynasty prospered with fire, and your five elements are lord,
The attribute is earth, and Xu Du also belongs to earth, so when you get there, it will prosper. Fire can produce earth, and earth can prosper wood. This just coincides with the words of Dong Zhao and Wang Li, and there will definitely be prosperous people in the future."
Cao Cao knew that this matter might not be concealed, but as long as there was no evidence, no one could do anything, so he made up his mind.
On the second day, I went to see Emperor Xian in person and proclaimed: "The eastern capital Luoyang used to be a very prosperous area, but after Dong Zhuo's rebellion, it became a broken wall and had reached the point where there was no way to repair it.
At the same time, the places are deserted, people are living in poverty, and food sources are all problems. It is also very difficult to ship food and grass in this area. Now Xudu is very close to Luyang, and it also has palaces, with solid city walls and sufficient money and food, which can be used as a backup. I beg your Majesty to move them.
When I arrived at Xudu, I hope Your Majesty can follow my advice."
There was a 200,000 Cao Cao's army outside Luoyang City. His words were not angry but powerful. Emperor Xian did not dare to refuse. The ministers were even more afraid of Cao Cao's power, and no one dared to come out to raise objections. So the matter was settled so easily.
Cao Cao did not expect that things would go smoother than expected. This was actually due to Emperor Xian being coerced for a long time and forming such a person who obeyed the order.
So Cao Cao chose the date and escorted the troops with his troops. All the officials followed him and prepared to go to Xudu.
After a few miles, everyone suddenly came to a Gaoling, shouting loudly, and a pair of people blocked their way.
Cao Cao lined up his troops and horses in a row, not afraid at all.
In front of him was Yang Feng and Han Xian with their troops blocking the way. Xu Huang stood up in front of him and shouted: "Cao Cao, where do you want to kidnap the emperor?"
Cao Cao took a look and found that the general was so mighty. He secretly praised in his heart, so he ordered Xu Chu to go out and fight him. The two fought for more than fifty rounds, but no winner was decided. Cao Cao was afraid that he would continue to fight, and both sides would suffer.
Let him retreat first, and he also called out the gold and retreated his troops.
Back in the camp, he summoned his advisers to discuss and said, "Yang Feng, Han Xian, I don't care about these two people. I saw that this general named Xu Huang was a good general. I really couldn't bear to use my strength.
If you forcefully suppress him, you should use tricks to recruit him."
The march was engaged in the man Chong and said, "My lord, please don't worry. Xu Huang and I had a relationship before. Tonight I will play a small pawn in the city, secretly entering his camp, and then let him surrender."
So that night, Man Chong pretended to be a pawn and mingled into the other party's tent. He secretly went to Xu Huang's tent. Seeing the other party sitting there with candles and armor, Man Chong quietly walked up to him, bowed and said:
"Friend, long time no see, don't be fine!"
Xu Huang was a little surprised, stood up, saw that he was an acquaintance, and said, "Aren't you from Man Boning, Shanyang? Why did you come to me?"
Man Chong said: "I am now engaged in General Cao Cao. Today I saw you, an old friend in front of the formation. I felt that I wanted to tell you something, so I seemed to have mixed in."
Xu Huang asked the other party to sit down and ask for his purpose.
Man Chong said: "Your courage is rare in the world. Why do you have to bow to serve Yang? A person like Han, General Cao Cao is a hero of the world. He is respectful to the wise and the people in the world know it. Today I saw it in front of the formation.
Your courage is admirable and very much respectful, so you can't bear to fight to the death, so I specially sent me to invite you, why don't you abandon the darkness and join forces to achieve great achievements?"
Xu Huang hesitated for a while, thought for a while, sighed, and said, "Don't I know that Feng Xian is not the one who accomplished great things, but I have been with them for a long time, and I really can't bear to give up."
Man Chong said, "Have you ever heard of good birds choosing trees to live in, and wise ministers choosing masters to work? I missed it when I met a lord who could serve, but I missed it. This is definitely not the act of a real man."
Xu Huang felt that what he said made sense, so he stood up and thanked him, "I am willing to follow your advice."
Man Chong said: "Why don't you kill Feng on the spot and leave again? As a gift to meet General Cao?"
Xu Huang said: "They did not do evil, and I have been their ministers. It is unjust to do this, and I definitely cannot do this!"
Man Chong said, "You are such a righteous man!"
So Xu Huang took dozens of confidant cavalry under the tent and took Man Chong to surrender to Cao Cao overnight.
However, this matter is not that simple. There are also two people doing the details around Xu Huang. He reported this matter to Yang Feng. Yang Feng felt very angry and personally brought more than a thousand cavalry to chase him, shouting: "Xu Huang
Don’t leave the thief!”
While chasing, I suddenly heard a cannon sound, and the mountain was illuminated by torches. The soldiers lying there came out from all sides. Cao Cao personally led the army to take the lead and shouted: "I have been waiting in this place for a long time.
This time it makes it hard for you to fly!”
Yang Feng was shocked and hurried back, surrounded by Cao Cao's soldiers. Han Xian heard the wind and came to rescue. The two armies fought in a melee, so Yang Feng was able to escape. Cao Cao took advantage of the chaos and launched a general attack. Most of their soldiers were
After surrendering, the two had no power, so they had to take the defeated generals to surrender to Yuan Shao.
