Yuan Shao did not have a good impression of his current emperor Liu Xie. When Dong Zhuo proposed to abolish the young emperor Liu Bian and make Liu Xie emperor, Yuan Shao was the first to oppose it. For this reason, he completely broke up with Dong Zhuo and fled Luoyang. In his opinion,
Come on, although Liu Xie is still young now, in a few years, when Liu Xie is old and knows this history, he will definitely not have a good impression of himself. Why should he welcome back an emperor who may want to deal with him at any time?
Woolen cloth?
Cao Cao didn't know what Yuan Shao was thinking, but he also heard the shirk in Yuan Shao's words. He couldn't help but frown, as if he was about to continue persuading. Luo Yang, who was beside Cao Cao, suddenly reached out and quietly pulled Cao Cao back.
, Cao Cao looked back and saw Luo Yang gently shaking his head at him. Seeing Luo Yang stopping him from persuading Yuan Shao, Cao Cao was puzzled, but he finally kept his mouth shut.
Without Cao Cao's dissuasion, others would naturally not do anything to anger Yuan Shao. The only one who might go against Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, had the same idea as Yuan Shao at this moment. Immediately, Yuan Shao waved his hand and shouted: "Since
In this case! We will garrison troops into Hulao Pass first! Send out scouts to quickly investigate Thief Dong’s situation!"
"Here!" Everyone responded in unison, and then discussed some innocuous matters, and then ended the meeting directly.
After leaving the tent and walking around for a few times, Cao Cao caught up and grabbed Luo Yang. After making sure there was no one around him, he shouted in a low voice and asked: "Zi Hui! Why didn't you let me dissuade Benchu just now?"
Now is a great time to defeat Dong's thieves! Although we don't know why Dong Zhuo retreated, the morale of his army will definitely plummet if Dong Zhuo retreats like this. If we chase him all the way up, we will definitely be able to defeat Dong's army, and maybe even be able to rescue him.
Where is the Emperor!"
Luo Yang glanced at Cao Cao with a smile, but did not answer Cao Cao's question directly. Instead, he shook his head and said, "Brother Meng De, this is not the place to talk! You'd better follow me back to my place first and then talk!"
After saying that, Luo Yang took Cao Cao's hand and rushed straight to the camp of the brave soldiers. Although Cao Cao didn't understand what Luo Yang wanted to say, it seemed to be a very important matter now.
, so there was no resistance and let Luo Yang pull him away.
Soon, when they arrived at the camp of the Yongzu Army, Luo Yang gave instructions to the soldiers of the Yongzu Army, telling them to be on strict alert, and then he took Cao Cao directly into his tent. After entering the tent, Luo Yang
Then he turned to Cao Cao and made an invitation gesture, and said with a smile: "Brother Meng De, don't be anxious yet, sit down and have a glass of water!"
How can Cao Cao think about drinking water now? He simply shook his head and said: "Oh! Zihui! Stop being so pretentious. Just tell me what you have to say quickly! I'm almost dying of anxiety if you don't look at me."
?”
Luo Yang smiled faintly. Although Cao Cao still has some selfish motives, he is still loyal to the Han Dynasty. He doesn't know what happened to him later, which turned him, a supporter of the Han Dynasty, into a traitor! Let's put it down for now.
With this question, Luo Yang forced Cao Cao to sit down in the tent, smiled and said to Cao Cao: "Brother Meng De! To tell you the truth, I know why Dong Zhuo retreated!"
"What?" Although Luo Yang still didn't answer his question directly, his words still calmed Cao Cao. Cao Cao stared at Luo Yang with his eyes wide open, as if he wanted to see the expression on his face.
Something could be seen on his expression, but he couldn't find a problem no matter what. Finally, he asked with disbelief: "Zihui! I, did I hear you right? How did you know the reason why Thief Dong retreated?
?”
Cao Cao couldn't help but not believe it. Since the last battle at Hulao Pass, Luo Yang, like other princes, had been staying in front of Hulao Pass. Especially in the last battle, Luo Yang's strength had attracted the attention of various princes.
Even Cao Cao sent many people to secretly monitor Luo Yang's brave soldiers. But these days, no contact between Luo Yang and the outside world has been discovered at all! Now even Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance, does not know the reason for Dong Zhuo's withdrawal, and Luo Yang
How do you know?
Luo Yang chuckled and said: "Actually, when I came from Jingzhou this time, I brought more than just these 10,000 soldiers and horses! There were also 5,000 soldiers and horses. My subordinates went directly north from Jingzhou, taking advantage of Dong Zhuo's leadership.
When the troops attacked, they attacked Luoyang!" Regarding this news, Luo Yang did not intend to hide it from Cao Cao. After all, this matter could be found out by anyone who was interested. However, in terms of the number of soldiers and horses, Luo Yang still did a little bit.
Modification: Luo Yang directly said that twenty thousand horses were five thousand. This was also to show the enemy's weakness so that Cao Cao would not be too defensive about himself.
Even so, this news still completely shocked Cao Cao! A sneak attack on Luoyang? Oh my God! Did I hear it right? Cao Cao couldn't believe his eyes! Although he had valued Luoyang's strength before, he didn't
Thinking of it now, Luo Yang was still able to give himself such a big surprise! As for Cao Cao's surprise, Luo Yang also knew it, but he immediately pretended to be annoyed and said: "It's a pity that I don't have enough troops. At most, I only have
I can separate only 5,000 men and horses. If I have more men and horses, I can take Luoyang City directly and cut off Thief Dong's escape! Originally, I planned to take this opportunity to rescue the Emperor, but I didn't expect Thief Dong to be so cunning.
, so bold that you actually took the Emperor hostage and went to war!"
Luo Yang's last words were not a pretense. Originally, rescuing the emperor during the chaos was Luo Yang's main goal from the beginning, but now it was interfered with by that brat Guo Jia!
After all, Cao Cao was not an ordinary person. After taking a few deep breaths, he slowly accepted this fact. Cao Cao had no doubts about Luo Yang's words, because he knew Luo Yang and would never lie about such a thing for no reason. After thinking about it,
After a while, Cao Cao raised his head and looked at Luo Yang with a complicated expression. He smiled bitterly and said, "Zi regret, Zi regret! It's so hard for you to hide it from me!"
Cao Cao did not blame Luo Yang for arbitrarily dividing his troops to attack Luoyang. He changed places. I was afraid that Cao Cao would make such a decision. However, in Cao Cao's heart, his estimation of Luo Yang was once again improved. In Cao Cao's heart,
, Luoyang's importance has surpassed that of Yuan Shao! Although Luoyang divided his troops into two groups this time, one did not capture Luoyang, and the other did not rescue the emperor, but I believe that as soon as this news is spread, Luoyang's reputation will rise, reaching the level of the fourth generation.
Yuan Shao of Sangong is equal to, or even higher in status!
Regarding Cao Cao's words, Luo Yang just smiled faintly and said: "Speaking of which, I also want to confess to Brother Mengde on this matter! Please forgive Brother Mengde for his previous concealment!"
"That's all! I also understand Zihui's difficulties!" Regarding Luo Yang's apology, Cao Cao waved his hand and didn't care much. Then he suddenly remembered what happened in the big tent before and asked hurriedly: "By the way.
! Zihui, even so, it doesn’t seem to explain why you didn’t let me dissuade Benchu?”
Luo Yang shook his head and said to Cao Cao with a smile: "Brother Mengde, haven't you understood Brother Benchu's thoughts after having known each other for so many years? Brother Benchu probably doesn't really want to welcome back the people who are now here.
That emperor is in the hands of Thief Dong!"
Cao Cao was still a little confused at first, but after seeing Luo Yang, he immediately understood the key. His face suddenly became extremely ugly, and he said in a low voice: "I see! But no matter what, the emperor is the emperor after all, we
How can we just sit back and watch the emperor become dusty? Moreover, the problem now is that the young emperor has been killed by the Dong thief. If even the current emperor cannot be saved, then wouldn’t the big man be without a king? "
"Haha! Brother Mengde's words are wrong!" Luo Yang chuckled and said: "Nowadays, the royal family of the Han Dynasty is all over the world. Where can I not find a royal family member who can replace the emperor? I'm afraid that Brother Benchu
You must have made up your mind a long time ago!" What Luo Yang said was not a groundless attempt to frame Yuan Shao. When later generations read books, there were many records saying that Yuan Shao had always wanted to support the governor of Youzhou at that time.
, Liu Yu, a clan member of the Han Dynasty, became the emperor. But Liu Yu didn't know what was going on in his head, and he never agreed to Yuan Shao. Instead, he stayed in the corner of Youzhou, fighting to the death with Gongsun Zan every day, and was finally killed by Gongsun Zan.
Got killed.
But this was the first time Cao Cao heard this statement. He couldn't help but change his expression. He looked at Luo Yang and asked in surprise: "Zi Hui! What do you mean, do you want to imitate the traitor Dong and dethrone the emperor?"
An act?”
Cao Cao couldn't help but be surprised. Although the emperor Liu Xie was pushed to the throne by Dong Zhuo, he was the legitimate emperor after all! Cao Cao initiated this alliance in the hope of using the power of various princes to defeat Dong Zhuo.
, rescue Liu Xie. But if Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance, really does such a thing, I am afraid that it will not only be Yuan Shao who will be infamy, but Cao Cao will also be dragged down!
Now Cao Cao was anxious. He even stood up, walked back and forth in the military tent a few times, gave a final high-five and shouted: "No! This matter must not be allowed to continue like this! I will go and persuade him now."
Benchu, let him give up this idea!" After saying that, Cao Cao walked out of the military tent.
When Luo Yang saw it, he quickly stepped forward to stop Cao Cao and advised: "Brother Meng De! You must not do this! This matter is just a conjecture on my part, and there is no evidence! If Brother Meng De questions me like this now,
Brother Chu and Brother Benchu will definitely not admit it. It may anger Brother Benchu, but things will become even more out of control!"
Cao Cao gradually calmed down after being persuaded by Luo Yang. He knew that what Luo Yang said was right. He really couldn't ask Yuan Shao directly about this matter! But if he didn't go to Yuan Shao, how should he deal with it?
