Chapter 205: Relying on the Son of Heaven to Order the Princes
Chapter 205: Holding the Emperor hostage to order the princes
"How brave!" Cao Cao said with a surprised look on his face: "Even if Dong Zhuo had an army of 400,000, he would not dare to attack the champion. Are Li Jue and Guo Si going to die?"
"Lord, according to reliable information, it was not that Dong Zhuo did not dare to be an enemy of Liu Zhang, but that Dong Zhuo's family was all in the hands of Liu Zhang!" Cheng Yu took out another piece of information and handed it to Cao Cao, but what he said left everyone confused.
Surprised.
"Liu Zhang arrested all Dong Zhuo's family?" Cao Cao asked in surprise: "When did this happen?"
Cheng Yu said bitterly: "It is said that it was before the princes attacked Dong! It's just that Liu Zhang and Dong Zhuo kept the news closely, and no one knew."
"Then how do you know now?" Cao Cao looked puzzled. Since Liu Zhang and Dong Zhuo had received the news, no one should know.
"It was Li Jue and Guo Si who accidentally said it out of anger!" Cheng Yu sighed: "Old Lieutenant Yang told me about this."
"I see, the champion is indeed a champion. When he sent troops, it was really for the Queen Mother He and King Hongnong. I'm convinced!" Cao Cao shook his head. He had always admired Liu Zhang, but when the princes challenged Dong, Liu Zhang's
What he did made him very puzzled. However, now he understood that Liu Zhang was very emotional.
"In this case, we will take the opportunity to let Li Jue and Guo Si fight with the champion and bring His Majesty out! However, we cannot get close to Chang'an, otherwise it will be troublesome for Li Jue and Guo Si to regard us as enemies. It is best to let Your Majesty
Escape from Chang'an by yourself, and we will send troops to respond. After all, we are not strong enough!" Cao Cao is very generous, but not everyone will praise his enemies, at least Jiang Ji will not. After he finished speaking to Cao Cao, he immediately put forward his own opinions.
"Then invite Old Lieutenant Yang to come up!" Cao Cao understood that Jiang Ji was changing the subject, and he did not want to make it difficult for his advisers.
"How about it? Have we discussed it? Should we go or not?" Soon, Yang Biao walked slowly into the meeting hall with a splayed pace.
"Go! Your Majesty invites you, how can I not go?" Cao Cao still respected Yang Biao, an old man. After all, Yang Biao had a good relationship with Cao Song.
"Alas! I said Cao Mengde was loyal, but they focused on Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao. It's really ridiculous!" Yang Biao had a good relationship with Cao Song. He not only knew Cao Cao's personality well, but also his abilities.
This was also the reason why he first thought of Cao Cao.
"I must go, but we also have a big problem!" There were some things that Cao Cao couldn't say, but as the head of Cao Cao's advisers, Xun Yu had no shirk of responsibility.
"You are Xun Yu and Xun Wenruo of Ciming's family!" The Ciming Yang Biao mentioned was Xun Yu's uncle Xun Shuang.
"Exactly!"
How can we come to rescue His Majesty?"
"Oh? What do you think?" Yang Biao looked at Xun Yu with a smile. Back then, Xun Shuang once said that in terms of strategy, Xun Yu was the best of his generation.
"What I mean is, can your Majesty be allowed to escape from Chang'an first, and we can meet him near Luoyang to avoid disturbing the situation!" Xun Yu felt a little ashamed. As a minister, he felt very unhappy that he could not share the emperor's worries.
"This..." Yang Biao hesitated. It was not easy to escape from Chang'an controlled by Li Jue and Guo Si! You know, Li Jue and Guo Si had an army of 300,000 men. Even Zhang Ji
After taking away 100,000, there were still 200,000 left. How many men did Liu Xie have in his hands? Of course, Yang Biao didn't know yet about Guo Si's defeat at Yangping Pass!
"Report! Lord..." A junior high school student rushed into the meeting hall. However, when the small school leader saw an unknown person in the meeting hall, he immediately stopped reporting.
Cao Cao knew that something big would usually happen in this situation, but he couldn't let Yang Biao leave. Xun Yu pulled the principal over and whispered to him for a long time. Suddenly Xun Yu laughed and said: "My lord, my lord, okay
information!"
"Oh?" Yang Biao has been an official for so many years, how can he not wink? He was just about to resign, but Xun Yu spoke up.
"You! Say it loudly!" Xun Yu pointed at the small school, and everyone's eyes were focused on the small school.
"Qi...Lord..." The junior high school student had never seen so many big shots before and couldn't help but stutter.
"Don't be afraid! Speak slowly!" Cao Cao comforted the principal very kindly, and the principal quickly calmed down.
"Reporting to my lord, Guo Si commanded 100,000 troops and fought with the champion Hou outside the Yangping Pass, but was defeated by the champion Hou!" The news from the primary school was very shocking!
"How are the troop losses on both sides?" Cao Cao asked nervously.
Xiao Xiao said: "The loss of the champion is unknown. Guo Si seems to have lost nearly a centaur. Moreover, Guo Si has asked Chang'an for help after his defeat!"
"Lord, the emperor has his own help!" Xun Yu looked excited, Cheng Yu and Jiang Ji looked disdainful, but Xun You sighed. Only Chen Qun didn't seem to hear what Xun Yu said.
"Yes! God helps the emperor!" Cao Cao was smiling, but no one knew what he was thinking.
"Does this go as planned?" Xun Yu asked everyone for their opinions, and everyone immediately looked at Cao Cao.
"It depends on what the emperor wants!" Cao Cao looked at Yang Biao again.
"This..." Yang Biao was stunned! Letting the emperor escape from Chang'an was obviously not something he could decide. What's more, Fu Wan still had to contact the Yuan family. You must know that Cao Cao did not have the ability to defend Li Jue and Guo Si.
It does not represent Yuan Shao or Yuan Shu.
"Master Yang, what do you think?" Xun Yu looked at Yang Biao, but saw a hesitant expression, and he understood instantly.
Perhaps because of his initial excitement, Xun Yu forgot the existence of the Yuan family, but when he saw Yang Biao's hesitation, how could he not understand? Indeed, Cao Cao was not Liu Xie's only choice. It wouldn't matter if the emperor did this for Cao Cao
Taking risks based on your choice is unlikely.
"I need to go back and discuss it with the emperor!" Yang Biao was a little embarrassed. However, he can't be blamed for this. After all, the court is not the one who has the final say.
Cao Cao smiled and said: "In this case, Mr. Yang will go back to discuss with the emperor. If he agrees with our plan, just send someone to inform us!"
"Okay! Meng De is indeed a loyal man!" Seeing that Cao Cao was not displeased at all, Yang Biao was greatly relieved and felt that he had not found the wrong person. But he did not know that Cao Cao had already gone from serving the emperor to asking for help.
A choice was made between 'the minister' and 'the emperor was held hostage to order the princes'!
After Yang Biao left, Cao Cao's government began to prepare to enter the capital to welcome the emperor. However, looking at the active Xun Yu, Cao Cao was very unhappy. He did not want Xun Yu to turn his heart to the Han Dynasty, but there was nothing he could do, so he had to take it one step at a time.
.
Just when Yang Biao was persuading Cao Cao, Yuan Shao also received the emperor's envoy. However, the envoy sent to Yuan Shao was Fu Wan's.
"Yuan Shao accepts the order!" Since he is an angel, he must have a royal bearing. Not everyone has Yang Biao's awareness. The envoys sent by Fu Wan to Yuan Shao actually dared to put on airs in front of Yuan Shao. It can be said that they are tired of life. However,
Yuan Shao did not kill him, but just let Yan Liang and Wen Chou release a little murderous intent, which frightened the envoy so much that his legs became weak.
"Bring it here!" Yuan Shao stretched out his hand.
"What?" The envoy was stunned. He didn't know what Yuan Shao wanted.
"Imperial decree!" Yuan Shao glared at the envoy angrily, and the envoy quickly handed him the imperial edict. Yuan Shao said coldly: "Take the envoy down to rest!"
Without any explanation, the two guards picked up the envoy and left. Yuan Shao threw the imperial edict on the commander's desk and said, "Let's talk about it! What should we do about this matter?"
"My lord!" Guo Tu said with a smile as he cupped his hands: "There are certainly advantages and disadvantages to entering the capital to welcome the emperor! The advantage is that you can take advantage of the great righteousness, and you can blackmail the emperor to order the princes! The disadvantage is that it is easy to produce internal conflicts. When the lord rules the world, will you respect the Han or replace the emperor?
Han? If you respect Han, all your achievements will be lost, but if you replace Han, you will be suspected of usurping the throne."
"This..." Yuan Shao hesitated, and he couldn't help but ask: "Is that to welcome or not to welcome?"
"Of course I welcome you!" Feng Ji said with a smile: "My lord has great righteousness in his hands. After unifying the world, should we respect the Han or replace the Han? Shouldn't it be decided by my lord?"
"Of course we won't welcome him!" Xin Ping sneered: "If we welcome the emperor, will the Lord of Jizhou be the lord or the emperor? Aren't you afraid that the emperor will turn against the guest and become the master?"
"My lord has great power, and the emperor is just a puppet. With my lord's great talents and broad plans, why should I be afraid?" Shen Pei has always had a good relationship with Feng Ji, so he naturally supports Feng Ji.
"Otherwise!" Seeing the judge's voice, Guo Tu laughed and said, "If my lord sends troops to meet the emperor, and Gongsun Zan attacks from Youzhou, what should we do?"
"This..." The four great counselors were divided into two groups. Yuan Shao was always good at making plans, so he couldn't help asking: "Masters, do you want to welcome them or not?"
As soon as Yuan Shao's words came out, there was a huge quarrel in the meeting hall. Guo Tu, Shen Pei, Feng Ji, and Xin Ping all had their own opinions. The quarrel made Yuan Shao's head growl!
"Masters!" Yuan Shao couldn't bear it anymore and shouted loudly: "Why don't you ask Ziyuan to come and ask him what he wants?"
Everyone looked at each other and realized that continuing the quarrel was not an option, so the four of them, Guo and Tu, agreed to Yuan Shao's method. Soon, Xu You, who was handling government affairs, was called by Yuan Shao. After knowing Yuan Shao's distress, Xu You also
Falling into hesitation. Making decisions is not what a counselor should do!
Xu You looked at Guo Tu and the four of them very hesitantly, and saw that they were all looking at him with longing eyes. Xu You's scalp felt numb, and it was the first time that he felt such tremendous pressure.
Suddenly, Guo Tu's eyes rolled. He pulled up his sleeves and stretched out three fingers. Xu You's eyes suddenly lit up. Maybe others didn't understand what Guo Tu meant, but Xu You, who had done business with Guo Tu, understood that Guo Tu
This picture is saying: "Support me and give you three thousand gold."
Xu You was not ordinary greedy. He shook his head and extended a slap, meaning: "I want five thousand gold."
Guo Tu nodded repeatedly when he saw this, he was afraid that Xu You would not agree. Although Yuan Shao was keeping an eye on Xu You during the match review, no one noticed that he and Guo Tu had concluded a deal so quickly.
