The 229th chapter welcomes the emperor Cao Cao to get the general
Chapter 229 Welcome Emperor Cao Cao’s General
Outside Luoyang City, Li Le and Hu Cai marched forward, only to see Yang Feng and a big man coming on horseback. Li Le quickly came forward and said: "Old Yang, I haven't seen you for many years, how are you?"
"Old Li, why are you here in Luoyang!" Seeing that they were acquaintances, Yang Feng didn't want to lose face. What's more, Li Le, Hu Cai and he were both white wave and yellow turban thieves, so they had a good relationship.
"Lao Yang, you are not being honest!" Hu Cai took a step forward, and Yang Feng quickly made a defensive posture. Hu Cai sneered: "Lao Yang, when you became an official, you forgot about your former brothers?"
Being ridiculed by Hu Cai, Yang Feng put away his weapons and said with a slight blush on his face: "Brother Hu, why did you come to Luoyang? If you startled the Holy Master, wouldn't it be a big sin?"
"Emperor, you can save it, but our brothers can't?" Li Le also looked sarcastic, seeming to look down on Yang Feng.
"What a joke!" The big man next to Yang Feng laughed and said, "How dare a mere yellow turban thief dare to speak so brazenly?"
"Who are you? You have no right to speak here!" Hu Cai thought that the big man was Yang Feng's subordinate, so he spoke rudely.
"You are looking for death!" The big man was furious and came at him with a knife. Hu Cai quickly resisted, but with just one blow, Hu Cai was chopped off his horse!
"You..." Yang Feng and Li Le were shocked. Li Le pointed at the big man and asked: "Who are you? How dare you be so presumptuous!"
"Xiahou Dun, the general under the command of Cao Cao, the governor of Yanzhou!" The big man said with a sword in his hand: "I have been ordered to come here to protect you!"
"You are here to protect me, and we are here to protect you, why do you kill people?" Li Le looked indignant, eyes wide open, as if he wanted to fight Xiahou Dun!
"How dare you talk about escorting me, the little white wave yellow turban thief? Surrender now, and I will spare you and give you a chance to protect you!" Xiahou Dun smiled with a smile on his face, but a cold light flashed in his eyes. He believed that as long as the two things don't match up, Li Le will definitely be him.
The soul of the dead under the sword.
"Okay!" Li Le said angrily: "I heard that Cao Mengde is at war with Lu Bu. I want to see how many troops he has to compete with my tens of thousands of Yellow Turbans!"
"Look over there!" Xiahou Dun pointed in the direction of Hu Lao Pass, and saw a cloud of dust rising not far away. A general, holding a long sword, rode his horse to Xiahou Dun's side.
"Yuan Rang, even if you are the vanguard, you don't have to run so fast!" The visitor said with a dissatisfied look on his face: "I am leading 50,000 people, and it is very tiring to chase!"
"Mancheng, how long will it take for eldest brother to arrive?" Xiahou Dun asked casually, which made Li Le tremble with fear!
"My lord is right behind!" Li Dian also noticed something was wrong in the atmosphere, so he ordered his soldiers to be ready to attack at any time.
"Can't I leave?" Seeing Xiahou Dun's strength, Li Le turned around and wanted to return to the formation.
"Where are you going?" Xiahou Dun clasped his ears and said, "Did I let you go?"
"General, you and I are here to protect you, why do you need to embarrass me?" Li Le was completely convinced. No matter whether Cao Cao fought with Lu Bu or not, they now have 50,000 elite soldiers, and they are definitely not under Li Le's command. Some yellow scarf thieves can resist.
"Didn't you see that our army was at war with Lu Bu, so you dared to be so presumptuous?" Xiahou Dun sneered: "Lü Bu is just a brave and foolhardy man. Even with the help of Chen Gong, how can he be the opponent of our army?
Since you dare to come, don’t leave!”
"How dare you do this!" Li Le was furious. He and Hu Cai originally wanted to work as an official, but unexpectedly, Hu Cai was beheaded as soon as they arrived in Luoyang. Now it seems that Xiahou Dun doesn't even want to let him go.
Pass!
"Mancheng..." Xiahou Dun shouted. After all, he was just a vanguard. The vanguard's duty is to open roads across mountains and build bridges when encountering water, which does not include fighting the enemy. Of course, it does not mean that they cannot fight the enemy, but the vanguard fights with the enemy.
Victory is easy, defeat is punishable. This is also the reason why when a battle is defeated, the general is usually fine, but the vanguard is beheaded.
"Don't worry!" There is no general who doesn't want to make military exploits. Li Dian heard that Li Le was a Yellow Turban thief and wanted to take action. However, Xiahou Dun's status in Cao's army was higher than that of his. If Xiahou Dun didn't give the order, it would be difficult for him to overstep it!
"Two generals..." Seeing that the atmosphere between Li Le and General Cao Jun became tense, Yang Feng quickly advised: "Li Qushuai also has good intentions to protect you, you two don't have to be like this!"
"Guarding you, I think you are robbing me!" Xiahou Dun curled his lips with disdain on his face.
Just when Xiahou Dun and Li Le were in a stalemate, a group of troops arrived, and the leader was Dong Cheng. When Dong Cheng saw the atmosphere, he couldn't help but asked in confusion: "What's going on?"
"White Bo Yellow Turban Qu Shuai Qian came to escort him. He had some misunderstandings with the general, and a little conflict occurred!" Yang Feng hurriedly said in Dong Cheng's ear: "Captain, Cao Cao is powerful. If he is allowed to welcome your majesty, we will
With a weak army and few generals, won’t we have to rely on others in the future? Why not let Li Le become one of ours! After all, there are still tens of thousands of white-wave and yellow-turban thieves!”
Dong Cheng was certainly not stupid to be able to become the head of the country. Hearing what Yang Feng said, he quickly laughed and said: "What do I think it is? His Majesty was in trouble in Luoyang, so he ordered people to recruit people with lofty ideals from all over the country to come and escort him. Since General Li is
The escorts will naturally welcome you! This general, it was just a misunderstanding!"
"Who is this lord?" Neither Xiahoudun nor Li Dian knew Dong Cheng, so naturally they could not contradict him rashly.
"I am the leader of the country, Dong Cheng, leading the chariot and riding general!" Dong Cheng saluted on his horse. Xiahou Dun and Li Dian quickly returned the salute after hearing this.
"Since it's the abbot who intercedes, let's forget it!" Xiahou Dun didn't have to give Yang Feng face. After all, Yang Feng was just an ordinary general and a Yellow Turban general. But Dong Cheng was the abbot and one of the important ministers of the country.
Xiahou Dun did not want to cause trouble to Cao Cao.
When everyone returned to Luoyang, Dong Cheng had already sent a small school to report the matter to Liu Xie. When Liu Xie heard that Cao Cao was coming to greet him, he naturally relaxed. However, when it was time to eat, Luoyang City became noisy again.
Xiahou Dun and Li Dian arrived first, so they naturally had military rations, but they only got one for Liu Xie. The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, palace maids, and eunuchs had no soldiers or power, so they could only starve. However, Yang Feng and Dong Cheng stopped working.
So he went to ask Xiahou Dun for military rations. Xiahou Dun was not a good person. He gave Dong Cheng a batch of food, but refused to give it to Yang Feng. According to Xiahou Dun, Dong Cheng is the head of the country, who is Yang Feng? He is just a remnant of the Yellow Turbans!
This made Yang Feng turn blue with anger, but with 50,000 elite soldiers blocking him there, no matter how Yang Feng had any objections, he could only knock out his front teeth and swallow his blood.
In the evening, Cao Cao finally led his troops to arrive. Liu Xie received Cao Cao in the dilapidated hall at the old site of Weiyang Palace. Seeing Cao Cao's handsome appearance and luxurious clothes, Liu Xie was really jealous. However, this jealousy soon disappeared.
It no longer exists because Cao Cao took out a cauldron of chicken soup.
Holding the chicken soup presented by Cao Cao, Liu Xie shed tears. He had not tasted chicken soup for at least three years. When he opened the copper cauldron, the fragrance of chicken soup wafted in the dilapidated hall, and the civil and military officials, palace maids, and eunuchs all came together.
He swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Except for those high-status ministers, others had not smelled the smell of meat in several years.
"Cao Aiqing, my loyal minister!" With excitement, Liu Xie drank up the chicken soup. Cao Cao immediately prepared a banquet, and served Liu Xie a table full of big fish and meat. All the civil and military officials who had been swallowing their saliva just now were all stunned.
It's green.
"Come here! Serve your lords!" Since he wants to use Liu Xie, he must feed these ministers. Otherwise, how can Cao Cao lure them back? As for staying in Luoyang, Cao Cao never thought about it.
I don’t want to be a neighbor with Liu Zhang.
After a feast of running water, the court officials and civil servants were all in tears after eating. The palace maids and eunuchs were waiting on them, but their eyes were red and they were drooling. To be honest, what Cao Cao offered was nothing, just the leftovers from the palace.
Lengzhi is not necessarily worse than these things. But the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty have not had a whole meal for at least five or six years, so these things are heartwarming!
After eating and drinking, Liu Xie looked at the red-faced civil and military officials, and then at Cao Cao who was standing solemnly aside, and said with great satisfaction: "Cao Aiqing did a great job in rescuing the enemy, and he also presented so much food, I..."
"Your Majesty!" Cao Cao interrupted Liu Xie. Liu Xie frowned in displeasure. However, he heard Cao Cao say: "I have received favors from my country in this life, and the little things I have are all given by the previous kings! Now I
It's just returning the things belonging to the imperial court to His Majesty, it doesn't count as credit!"
"Cao Aiqing is such a loyal minister!" Liu Xie was moved, at least at this moment he was moved.
Wang Kuang and Zhang Yang sent grain and silk as if they were gifts. Although Liu Xie enjoyed it, he felt very unhappy. Not to mention that Liu Zhang actually asked Liu Xie to ask for it in the name of his nephew. Now Cao Cao not only sent grain, but also
Very humble, this made Liu Xie feel the majesty of being an emperor for the first time. How could he not be moved? This moved him, and he naturally wanted to give Cao Cao a promotion!
After adding officials and titles, Cao Cao smiled and said: "Luoyang is dilapidated and cannot be repaired, and it is also difficult to transport food. Xuchang is close to Luyang, and the city walls, palaces, money, food and people's goods are sufficient. I dare to ask you to drive to Xuchang, but your majesty will obey!"
"
"This..." Liu Xie hesitated. He didn't want to become a puppet again, but he didn't want to be without food. After thinking for a long time, Liu Xie asked with a smile: "Cao Aiqing, I heard that you and General Fenwei, Wen Hou Lu Bu
How did the battle in Yanzhou come so quickly?"
After hearing this, Cao Cao knew that Liu Xie did not want to go to Xuchang, so he made insinuations and said that Yanzhou was not safe. Cao Cao curled his lips and smiled and said: "Lü Bu is just a brave and foolhardy person. If it weren't for the locust plague in Yanzhou, I would have wiped him out! In order to come to welcome your majesty as soon as possible.
, I had no choice but to attack with all my strength. Lu Bu was defeated and has now defected to Xuzhou!"
Hearing that Lu Bu was defeated by Cao Cao, Liu Xie felt a little cold. Looking at the civil and military affairs of the entire dynasty, Liu Xie knew that he had to continue to be a puppet. In desperation, Liu Xie sighed: "Then I will obey Cao Aiqing!"
Liu Xie agreed to move the capital, but Cao Cao would have long nights and dreams, so he ordered to set off immediately. Yang Feng was neglected by Cao Cao and had long been dissatisfied. So Yang Feng entangled with the white-wave yellow turban thief Li Le and led his troops to intercept Cao Cao. Unfortunately, Yang Feng and Li Le were the same
Trash, not only failed to stop Cao Cao, but Cao Cao persuaded him to surrender his general Xu Huang. In desperation, Yang Feng led his remaining soldiers to surrender to Daliang!
