Chapter 185 Cao Mengde's plan to achieve
"I minister Yang Feng (Cao Cao) saw your majesty!" Yang Feng and Cao Cao sang with one voice. As the two knelt down according to the rules, the sound of the metal pieces of armor worn by the two people sounded leisurely. The echo of "banging" echoed in the empty hall.
The two of them are held on their bodies by metal pieces. Even if they are extremely uncomfortable, they dare not say anything. They can only bear it. After all, they have been educated to be loyal to the emperor since they were young. In the face of the sincere fear that the ninety-five supreme must have, for them, they have been deeply rooted for a long time. They have been used to nature and are together, like breathing. The heartbeat is average...
"The two generals are free of courtesy!" Emperor Xian's voice is very immature, and he is obviously in a period of growth and development. Yang Feng and Cao Cao knelt down and did not move. They made a concession according to the etiquette. It was not until Emperor Xian said, "I give you innocence!" The two stood up slowly with a solemn face, as if they were in the enemy's thousands of troops and horses, with sharp knives on their necks.
According to the will of Emperor Xian, the chicken-faced eunuch gave Yang Feng and Cao Cao a seat. After the two sat down, Yang Feng reported Cao Cao's intention to Emperor Xian: He was ordered to worship Emperor Xian, in order to show his loyalty... During Yang Feng's full discussion, Cao Cao looked at today's emperor with his spare light: Although Emperor Xian was 15 years old at this time, his size and appearance were as straight as an eight-year-old child, which was obviously in physical development. Stage, caused by malnutrition!
The first group of messengers from Cao Cao's side did not see Emperor Xian himself, and their gifts and belongings were swallowed up by Yang Feng. However, Yang Feng also did a lot of facts: he promised to form an alliance with Cao Cao Cao, and recommended Cao Cao to Emperor Xian, and promoted Cao Cao to a higher rank...
Even if Yang Feng added oil and vinegar to create a loyal and patriotic image for Cao Cao Cao, the young Emperor Xian and the eunuchs beside him were still numb. This does not mean that Emperor Xian and the eunuchs are hard-hearted, but because they have experienced too many tragic events: over the years, there have been many local princes who have traveled thousands of miles and take the initiative to worship Emperor Xian, but the princes or warlords in these places have seen the desolate reality of Emperor Xian with their own eyes - they have no real power and influence, and they are also cooled by Xiliang. The legion firmly controlled that an emperor had no value to use at all, so they greeted each other and left hastily. Several princes and hegemons were still shameless and regardless of etiquette, and took away the gifts of tribute intact...
When encountering such a cold thing in the world all year round, can Emperor Xian not be numb?
When Yang Feng said the opening remarks, Cao Cao respectfully said his loyalty to Emperor Xian. Later, Cao Cao's glorious history of Liu's country and mountains was linked to the cruel reality of the wind and rain at this time. In the sharp contrast, Cao Cao's mood inevitably fluctuated more and more violently, and finally he cried.
When Emperor Xian saw that Cao Cao was sincere and loyal, his insensitive heart began to melt like ice and snow, and gradually there was a little warmth. Emperor Xian's numb expression began to soften, and his eyes became moist. Secretly, Emperor Xian imagined that although he was the supreme status of the emperor, he lived like a displaced refugee, like a cherished item being bought and sold by the lords, and sometimes he was worried about being deposed and assassinated!
Finally, under the infection of Cao Cao, in his imagination, Emperor Xian's tears flowed into a river, and the pain began to whine. The crying Emperor, the child's nature is undoubtedly revealed! This scene infected everyone present and began to cry bitterly. Originally, Yang Feng was unmoved, but later he felt that it didn't make sense if he didn't cry. He also began to squeeze his eyes and squeeze out a few tears. Of course, his face and expression were the most sad...
At the beginning, in order to gain the trust of Emperor Xian and the smooth realization of the final result, Cao Cao's crying was a fake cry. Later, Cao Cao's emotions were immersed in the contrast between glory and defeat, and the poet's temperament also began to be emotional and painful: crying for the chaotic era, for himself was bumpy. Cry after the experience! Behind the crying, Cao Cao sighed at the impermanence of the world: born in troubled times, even if he is the son of heaven? Aren't you living a life of miscariousness? Do you look at other people's faces every day? ...In the long history of the past, how many benevolent people have shed their blood and ignored their lives in order to support justice and maintain peace and prosperity. As a result, the trend of decadence is irreversible, and the society will still be full of war. Are wars, bloodshed, deaths and disasters in troubled times all to pay tribute to those benevolent people?
There has never been bloodshed in vain, people who died for nothing, especially the magnificent figures, the development of society, the process of history will be dedicated to them, and sing an elegy for them... Finally, Cao Cao thought of himself in his mind: If he is not under the protection of his ancestors, he will rely on what he has done in the officialdom. In order to violate the vital interests of the powerful, the result is to die unjustly. Fortunately, he survived in the end!
Crying is temporary, and the sadness will come to an end. When the sad mood of everyone present calmed down, Cao Cao took advantage of the hot iron exercise and said his plan in public: because the palace was under construction and the capital was short of grain, Meng De was willing to protect Emperor Xian and move to Luyang. When the repair of Luoyang City is completed, Meng De is sending Emperor Xian back to the palace of the capital... Luyang is very close to Cao Cao's nest Xuchang. In this way, Cao Cao can do his best and dedicate himself to the emperor to show his heart!
In order not to arouse Yang Feng's vigilance and to make Yang Feng completely reassure him, Cao Cao tried his best to send a member of Yang Feng to follow his escort team for supervision.
Emperor Xian and Yang Feng were surprised by Cao Cao's suggestion: No matter what sinister intentions Cao Cao used, this suggestion can indeed make Emperor Xian live a good life and solve the urgent needs of Emperor Xian... Yang Feng seriously thought about Cao Cao's suggestion, and finally in the eager expectation of Emperor Xian, Yang Feng agreed to Cao Cao's request.
In order to show his "loyalty", Yang Feng sent Xu Huang, the only super general under his command, to follow Cao Cao's messenger team as the personal bodyguard of Emperor Xian.
After a simple lunch, under the personal escort of Cao Cao, Emperor Xian took more than a dozen eunuchs and more than three-pin civil and military officials on the journey to Luyang. Of course, all the gifts brought by Cao Cao were given to Yang Feng. For the second time, Yang Feng made a fortune from Cao Cao.
Along the way, Cao Cao and Emperor Xian sat in a Cuiluan car. Of course, Cao Cao said his ideals and ambitions realistically and was willing to dedicate everything to Liu's Jiangshan. Of course, Cao also explained to Emperor Xian's strength at this time and showed that he had the ability to protect Emperor Xian.
Along the way, Dian Wei, Xu Chu and others quickly got along with Xu Huang, and they had the intention of meeting each other too late. During the conversation, Dian Wei Xu Chu and others learned that Xu Huang himself worshipped Cao Cao very much, and he had heard about Cao Cao's official deeds for a long time. In Xu Huang, he believes that Cao Cao dares to fight against the evil power, maintain the stability of one side, and safeguard the interests of the people. He is a real man, a real gentleman, and a real hero! He is an extraordinary handsome man who can be seen in real life...
Dian Wei Xu Chu and other human bodies feel that Xu Huang respects Cao Cao so much. They are happy in their hearts in their eyes and ears. It was Xu Huang's true temperament ** that made him avoid the disaster of killing himself...
Cao Cao escorted Emperor Xian to Luyang. As soon as his envoys left the capital, other high-level personnel of the Xiliang Legion stepped into the capital Luoyang. They came all the way from Chang'an City without stopping. When these generals heard that Yang Feng followed Cao Cao's advice and moved Emperor Xian to Luyang, which was personally escorted by Cao Cao, they all looked apprehenned and angry.
Sanpin General Li Su immediately slapped the table and scolded Yang Feng, "General Yang, are you pretending to be confused with understanding, or are you really confused? How can you listen to Cao A's side? What a treacherous and cruel role Cao Aqian is! General Yang, how can you give up Emperor Xian to Cao Mengde? Originally, I wanted to take the opportunity to knock Cao A hard, but I never thought you would do such a stupid thing. ..."
When Yang Feng heard Li Su's scolding, he suddenly became angry. He blushed and argued and said, "General Li, don't be a gentleman's belly with the heart of a villain. General Cao is sincere in cooperating with the Xiliang Legion! What's more, Emperor Xian just moved to Luyang. Luyang is the place where 20,000 troops are stationed. In this way, Emperor Xian is still under our firm control! ......”
When Li Su heard Yang Feng's words, he trembled with anger. He pointed to Yang Feng and couldn't speak for a moment. He always looked at Yang Feng with Yang Feng and Dong Cheng, and took the opportunity to fall into the well and said sarcastically, "Sincerity? Can Cao A, who is like a fox, be sincere? If Cao Aman is sincere, unless the sun rises from the west! ...General Yang, according to the general, Cao Aniu is only sincere to cooperate with you, not with the Xiliang Legion! General Yang, you also move your Yumu's head and think about it. If Cao Ake is sincere to cooperate with you, then why doesn't he leave his relatives in the capital as a hostage? ...General Yang, you are so stupid. You have been sold by Cao Ahi, and you have to count the money for Cao Ahi..."
As Dong Cheng's words changed from light to heavy, becoming more and more harsh, Yang Feng, who was angry, suddenly woke up: Yes, according to the rules of the two-party alliance, Cao Mengde should keep hostages in the capital. Why did he be confused for a while and forgot this rule?
The generals looked at Yang Feng falling into meditation and no longer arguing, so they shook their heads and sighed. The senior general of the Xiliang Legion, the oldest Han Siam, said to everyone in a low voice with a cold face, "Don't blame General Yang. Blaming each other can't solve practical problems... Cao Cao Cao has always been insidious and cunning and doesn't make common sense. It's not what we can deal with... Although he has yinned us, he is for me. Our current situation has no fatal impact. At worst, we will return to Liangzhou the same way and abandon Chang'an City... Leave the green mountains, and don't worry about firewood..."
Yang Feng looked at Han Siam with gratitude on his face. After all, the public target was uncomfortable. Unexpectedly, Han Siam's next paragraph almost made Yang Feng faint on the spot. Han Siam stared at Yang Feng and said sadly, "General Yang, we don't have any trouble. You are having a big deal!" According to the current situation, if the prediction is good, General Yang, the 20,000 soldiers you stationed in Luyang are unlikely to escape the result of the destruction of the whole army..."
"How is this possible? ..." Yang Feng said with a terrified face, as if he had seen a ghost in the daytime at that moment.
"Oh, General Yang, you underestimate Cao Aqian's wisdom too much. Do you think the sinister Cao Aqian really wants to form an alliance with you?! General Yang, you are greedy for Luyang's rich materials and station the army there. You have already robbed territory with Cao Ainu. Now, Cao Aman is taking advantage of your relaxation of vigilance and secretly gathering heavy troops to attack Luyang..." Han Siam looked at Yang Feng sympathetically and said word by word.
The more Yang Feng listened, the more scared he became. He tried to control his heart and trembling body. He suddenly stood up and rushed straight to the gate. At the same time, he shouted crazily: "Guardian, prepare horses, prepare horses for the general... Pass the general's order: The second battalion of cavalry rushed to Luyang City with Ben generals! ..."
The other generals looked at Yang Feng, who was almost crazy, and smiled with gloating one by one...
