Three Kingdoms: From Yinlin to Great Wei Xiongzhu

Chapter 186 This thing, Cao Cao's is very short, Yuan Shao's is very long
Hongnong County, this is an ordinary county on the long road from Chang'an City to the old capital of Luoyang.

The emperor's car can go here, and it has already completed half of the journey back to Luoyang.

But it was difficult here, and the emperor Liu Xie and the officials could only "knock out their teeth-swallow in their stomachs!"

"Ugh…"

In a farmhouse in Hongnong County, Emperor Liu Xie sighed faintly.

This journey, the hardships of the process, he knows best...

Originally, the ones who escorted him to escape from Chang'an were Chariot General Dong Cheng and General Protector Fu Wan.

These two, one is the father of his empress, and the other is the father of his concubine Dong Gui, they are the two most trustworthy forces.

Even...Emperor Liu Xie is very dependent on these two father-in-laws.

But... Li Jue's Xiliang soldiers pursued him relentlessly.

Dong Cheng was unable to support himself, so he could only find Yang Feng, a former general of the Baibo Army and Dong Zhuo's former subordinate, to defend against the enemy.

In addition, Han Xian, the leader of the Yellow Turban Army, also got involved...

Whether it's Yang Feng or Han Xian, they were originally the Yellow Turban Army, rebels, and they have their own interests. Being able to escort the emperor back to Luoyang is tantamount to whitewashing themselves, and they can also be promoted to rank. This business is stable. Make a profit.

Again, Zhang Yang, the prefect of Hanoi, suddenly stepped in and wanted a share of the pie.

Behind Zhang Yang was the support of the Southern Huns. He was able to become the prefect of Hanoi County, and the Southern Huns Shanyu contributed a lot behind him.

In addition to these few forces, there are actually many speculative forces, such as Hu Cai, Li Le, and Wang Yi, but these are relatively moderate and neutral, and their strength is not that strong.

"Ugh…"

Emperor Liu Xie looked at the sky in front of the window, helplessly wandering——

——I don't know where is the front, I don't know where is the way back.

"Your Majesty..." A woman walked slowly behind him.

It can be seen through the window, it is a beautiful face, a pair of beautiful eyes looking at the sky, if you look carefully, the unusually deep pupils in the pupils add a lot of mystery and solemnity.

It's just... a trace of loneliness fell on that smooth face, Tan opened his mouth slightly: "Your Majesty, do you know why we returned to Luoyang in the east, and more and more forces were involved? This situation is getting more and more chaotic?"

He is the empress of the Great Han, her surname is Fu, and her single name is Shou. The servants like to call her Empress Fu...

She blurted out a word, and her tone was full of infinite worry and helplessness.

"The empress can say whatever she wants, I'm already so down and out, how could it be any worse?" Emperor Liu Xie said slowly.

He has lost weight these days.

That's right, he eats and sleeps in the open every day, and eats and eats when he is hungry. How can he not lose weight?

Who would have imagined that the majestic emperor of the Han Dynasty would be so miserable now!
And these... are nothing. Compared with the current situation of the Han Empire, which is like a candle in the wind and is crumbling, the emperor Liu Xie has mixed feelings in his heart.

Empress Fushou shook her head helplessly, and said:

"Your Majesty worships Han Siam as the General of Conquering the East, Hu Cai as the General of Conquering the West, Li Le as the General of Conquering the North, Zhang Yang as the General of Anguo, and Wang Yi as Liehou. They are all allowed to open their houses on holidays..."

"With such a generous reward, the other small groups of warlords, whoever hears about it...must think that His Majesty, who can give him an official title, will naturally flock here one by one. How can this situation be stabilized?"

Yes, it was originally a matter of two old father-in-laws and a group of courtiers, but now there are Yellow Turban Army, the old Xiliang Army, Baibo Army, and local warlords involved.

Not to mention that Fu Wan and Dong Cheng couldn't control it, even his emperor Liu Xie couldn't control this complicated situation at all.

For example, when returning to Luoyang from the east, when the emperor talks about driving, he can’t move at all. All the warlords must agree to go before the emperor can go...

There is no one who can make an emperor do such a humble job!
The more this is the case, the more the emperor Liu Xie needs a capable person to help him support this big man's country and turn the tide!
"Ah... alas..."

Liu Xie sighed helplessly. "What the queen said is true, but what can I do? Li Jue's rebel cavalry is chasing after us... If you don't rely on the people around you? Who else can you rely on?"

Speaking of this, Liu Xie paused, closed his eyes and looked towards the sky.

"How could I not know, each of them harbors evil intentions, but... can..."

He clenched his fists tightly and pounded heavily on the window, but under hunger, even a single punch was weak.

Just like today's big man, the wind and rain are precarious... I don't know where to go?
"Your Majesty don't need to be too sad." Empress Fushou was also extremely worried, but she still had to comfort the emperor and cheer him up. "If you can return to the Eastern Capital this time, Your Majesty will be able to revitalize the big man again... besides... besides..."

"Yang Taiwei has sent someone to write a letter to Yuan Shao. He is the fourth generation and third prince of the Yuan family, and now he has millions of soldiers. He is the closest to here. If he helps, His Majesty will be able to sweep away the rebellion around him, return to Luoyang, and return to Luoyang. Xing Dahan!"

Huo…

The appearance of Yuan Shao's name is tantamount to letting the emperor Liu Xie find a ray of light in the darkness.

That's right, the Yuan family has been favored by the emperor, as long as... as long as he can help, Li Jue's pursuit, and the villains around him can all be wiped out. The big man... the big man should be happy!

"Good... good... good!"

Three good words in a row, the emperor Liu Xie turned around. "Queen, is there... any food? I... I'm hungry, I need to cheer up, I have to wait... until Yuan Aiqing arrives."

Speaking of this, Empress Fu took out a piece of pancake hidden in her chest shirt. There were some traces of green moss on the pancake, as if she hadn't eaten it for a long time, but Liu Xie didn't mind at all. He removed the moss and swallowed...

Hope, hope is good!

Where there is hope, there is light in the eyes!

Speaking of which, under the severe drought, locust plague, and typhoid fever in the Sansuke Land, any bit of food is very precious...

Today, the pancake on Empress Fu's chest is still warm, this is because Empress Fu's place is big and hot enough!

at this time…

A eunuch hastily broke into the farmhouse.

"Your Majesty, outside the door...General Yang Feng is begging for an audience, he wants to ask His Majesty for officials on behalf of the generals..."

Are you asking for an official?
give... give...

This was a subconscious reaction, the emperor took out an iron awl from the table behind him, and handed him to the eunuch.

Recently...Because more and more people are seeking official positions, where is the time to engrave the seal?

So, the emperor rewarded one with an iron awl, and asked the eunuch to carve one at will!
Originally, generals in the Eastern Han Dynasty were seldom appointed, and school lieutenants already had a very high rank, but first Dong Zhuo made a large number of school lieutenants, and school lieutenants have become worthless since then!

Later, after Li Jue and Guo Si took control of the court, they appointed a large number of generals.

Now...Emperor Liu Xie is awarding such a reward, I am afraid that the title of a general, especially the title of a miscellaneous general, is even more worthless.

Such a reward is just a false name, it's a joke, what's the point?

However, from Liu Xie's point of view, what can he do?

If you want to return to the east, you must rely on these people!
"Seal, seal...whatever General Yang Feng wants, I... I will grant it to you."

"This is the list from General Yang Feng..." The eunuch handed the list to Liu Xie...

Huo... At a glance, there are as many as sixteen people who want to be named generals. Liu Xie looked at the first name among them——Xu Huang?
This general, he has some impressions, is a general under Yang Feng's command who holds a golden-backed mountain axe and is invincible. In the past... he was the one who retreated from Li Jue's pursuers.

"Confess... general Xu Huang as Du Tinghou... seal..."

Sixteen canonizations in a row, the emperor Liu Xie is tired, his heart is very tired, very tired!
...

...

Yanzhou, Chenliu County, Yashou.

Everyone was happily eating dumplings in the dining hall, except Cao Cao and Lu Yu in the study.

This was specially arranged by Xun Yu. It was time for Cao Cao to make his final arrangements when he went west to Luoyang to welcome the emperor. According to past experience, Lu Yu would definitely come up with some insights at this time.

More importantly, these insights are tested and convincing.

Thinking of this, Xun Yu raised his eyes and looked towards the direction of the study through the window...

"Xun Sima, don't be in a daze, eat quickly..." Cao Hong patted Xun Yu's shoulder, he couldn't understand, now that this delicious dumpling is in front of him, why is Xun Sima so dazed, reckless!
"Xun Sima, I heard that this is the last pot, if you don't eat it, it will be gone... Come, come, come, eat, eat!"

For a while, Cao Hong seemed generous!
Yes, he has always been very generous when it comes to other people's things.

"well!"

As Xun Yu answered, he picked up the bowl and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Speaking of which, he was curious, what kind of surprises would Yin Lin bring to Duke Cao this time when he went west to Luoyang?

In addition, Xun Yu is still thinking about a problem, a problem that is a little further away.

...the question after welcoming the Son of Heaven.

If the emperor is in Luoyang, he is too close to Li Jue and Guo Si in Xiliang, and Yuan Shao in the north, which is a huge hidden danger.

Can take him to Yanzhou...

The emperor will inevitably be suspicious, and even the officials will not agree. If you do too much, it will feel a little bit like holding the emperor.

So?Where do you want to place it?
In fact, Xun Yu has always had a place in his heart - Xu County!
Xu County, between Yanzhou and Luoyang, has a special location. It is not only close to Luoyang, so that the emperor will not be too far away from the old capital, but also distanced from Yuan Shao, Li Jue and other forces...

Most importantly, there are many trees and ores around Xu County, and it is easier to build a palace, which is much more suitable than the ruins of Luoyang City.

However, Xu County also has hidden dangers - Runan in Yuzhou.

That's right, under Xu County is Runan in Yuzhou, and it can be said that it is an instant arrival from the land of Runan to Xu County.

But now the situation in Yuzhou is very complicated...

There are some small forces and some Yellow Turbans attacking each other, but with Cao Cao's current energy, he definitely has no time to fight. This is also a hidden danger!
I don't know, can Yin Lin take this into consideration?

Thinking of this, Xun Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, he ate a dumpling, but his heart was still hanging on it.

...

Cai Mansion, in the study.

A copy, two bowls of dumplings, Lu Yu and Cao Cao sat opposite each other.

There are a lot of dumplings in the bowl, and it is full of two bowls, which makes people very satisfied just looking at it.

However, Cao Cao's mind was not on the dumplings.

"Eat first? Or talk first?" Cao Cao spoke first.

"Cao Gong, tell me..." Lu Yu stretched out his hand, looking very polite... Of course, he knew that at this stall, Cao Cao's thoughts were all on the west side?How can I care about dumplings.

"Hahaha..." Cao Cao flicked his beard. "Then let's talk about going west to Luoyang to welcome the emperor!"

Seeing Lu Yu nodded, Cao Cao continued: "Nowadays, although there are still a few soldiers suffering from typhoid fever, it is already good. More than [-]% of the soldiers have recovered. With your dumplings and Quhanjiaoer Decoction, you can go west. Luoyang's conditions have all been met."

Speaking of this, Lu Yu interrupted...

"Cao Gong, in fact...the remaining [-]% ​​of the soldiers can also be cured. Although their typhoid fever is severe, there is one person...as long as he appears, Cao Gong will no longer be infested by this typhoid fever. If I guess it is right. , he is probably already on the way, compared to my medical book, he is the nemesis of typhoid fever!"

Huo ... such a big tone.

Cao Cao looked up at Lu Yu, then nodded immediately. "Haha, this person... is you who sent Wen Lie to Changsha County to invite Zhang Zhongjing, who is called the 'Medical Sage' by the people?"

"Exactly, you can't hide anything from Mr. Cao." Lu Yu smiled slightly.

Cao Cao knew so clearly, without exception, that in Yanzhou... nothing could be hidden from him.

Of course, this topic is not critical, and curing [-]% ​​of the soldiers will not affect the overall situation.

"It's your cold-dispelling jiaoer soup, can it really prevent the soldiers from frost during their westward march?"

Although he had an answer in mind, Cao Cao still wanted to ask Lu Yu for a more definite answer.

"Cao Gong, don't worry." Lu Yu nodded. "This is not an ordinary bowl of mutton soup. It is mixed with more than ten kinds of herbs, which interact with each other and can make the blood flow quickly in the body. As long as the blood is smooth, people will not feel cold!"

Lu Yu's words sounded like an old Chinese doctor...

Still a very convincing old Chinese doctor.

"Haha." Cao Cao smiled. "Didn't you say that you don't understand medicine before? It seems that you are still humble!"

Speaking of this, Cao Cao couldn't help stretching out his hand and patted Lu Yu's shoulder. He muttered in his heart, he doesn't know medicine, is it a lie?So low-key, is it because I am afraid that Cao Cao will be suspicious?Why bother?
Thinking of this, Cao Cao said loudly:

"You kid, how much ability do you still hide? Haha, great yin and yang family, great strategist, world-saving genius doctor, hahaha..."

In fact, when Cao Cao said this, Lu Yu was quite afraid. He always felt that the next sentence, Lao Cao wanted to say, use your brain, this feeling is so strong!

He didn't know that Cao Cao was happy from the bottom of his heart, his son was promising, and with so many titles, how could he be unhappy as a father?
"Let's get to the point!"

After the laughter, Cao Cao's face became serious again, and his tone became meticulous.

"Lu Gongcao will probably also pay attention to the current situation? You should know that the emperor has already set off from Hongnong... He will pass through Caoyang County, Jia County, Dayang County, Anyi County, and finally Luoyang, but...according to them The marching speed is so fast, I am afraid that this trip will take half a year, but we still have enough time!"

Hehe... Hearing this, Lu Yu went "hehe".

It's not just enough, it's rich...

Speaking of which, half a year is not enough time for the emperor to return to the east. Under the mediation of various forces, the emperor Liu Xie was stunned at a speed of one year. This speed is probably slower than that of a tortoise.

"How can half a year be enough? Mr. Cao said it was too short. I'm afraid it would take a year if he said less. After all, the people around him are not fuel-efficient lamps!"

Well... here comes the topic.

This is what Cao Cao wanted to ask. According to reports from scouts, there are quite a few forces around the emperor. Leaving aside those negligible small forces, there are four groups with strong soldiers and horses.

The strongest is Yang Feng, the former division of the Xiliang Army, followed by Han Xian, the general of the Yellow Turban Army, Zhang Yang, the prefect of Hanoi, and Dong Cheng, the good father-in-law of the emperor...

In addition, the scouts brought news that Li Jue repented of the emperor's return to the east, and his cavalry followed closely behind.

While returning to the east, while guarding against Li Jue's attack, all forces have their own ghosts and continue to mediate!
Perhaps... It is not impossible for Yu'er to reach Luoyang in a year!

However, Cao Cao is most concerned about...

How to take back the emperor from these four princes.

In fact, Cao Cao had a major premise in the matter of going west to Luoyang and welcoming the emperor.

Even if he went west to meet the emperor, he still had to leave enough soldiers and horses to garrison Yanzhou and Xuzhou. Cao Cao didn't want to be stolen by Lu Bu again.

Then...the number of soldiers and horses that can be drawn is only 3 to [-].

Cao Cao has no confidence in using this to fight against these four warlords.

Moreover, although today's son has not arrived in Luoyang, these four warlords have dispatched troops to occupy various passes in the Sili area...

It is to prevent the other princes from sharing the credit of the emperor's return to the east.

The current situation is completely different from when Cao Hongxi entered Luoyang in the past.

"Lu Gongcao, in your opinion, these inefficient lamps around the emperor? How should we turn them off?"

Cao Cao asked proactively.

"This..." Lu Yu's eyeballs must be fixed. "It's not difficult to say, it's nothing more than ten big characters—"Only by combining vertical and horizontal can the weak defeat the strong!""

Hmm... Only by combining vertical and horizontal can the weak defeat the strong?

This…

Cao Cao's eyes turned sharply, and he was pondering this sentence carefully.

This sentence is too big, and how many details need to be paid attention to?How can I explain it in just ten words?
Before Cao Cao could speak, Lu Yu's words came out one after another.

"Mr. Cao, let's talk about it one by one. Let's talk about Yang Feng, the warlord of Xiliang who has the most troops and the strongest combat power!"

While speaking, with a "whoosh", Lu Yu took out a dagger from behind, and stuck it on the table with a bang.

It stands to reason that Cao Cao should have been shocked when the dagger came out.

After all... It is impossible for Cao Cao not to have heard of the story of Tu Qiong.

Who knows... Is Lu Yu harboring evil intentions?Want to plot to assassinate Cao Cao?

However, the dagger was in Yu'er's hand, Cao Cao was very calm and calm!

He didn't suspect that Yu'er was doing anything wrong. Besides, Lu Yu's force value was at most five, and Cao Cao could easily subdue him by moving his little finger casually.

However, Cao Cao still keenly noticed that the dagger was not sharpened, that is to say... it couldn't stab anyone at all.

"Bang lang lang lang lang lang..."

The copywriter You Zi was trembling, but Lu Yu's voice continued.

"Yang Feng is like this dagger, the sharpest, but also the easiest to be played with and applauded! Instead of confronting him head-on, forcing him to open the blade, forcing him to become sharp, it is better to unite with him and let Mr. Cao wield this dagger. Take a dagger, let Cao Gong cut it for him, let him stab people for Cao Gong, it's like treating him like a monkey, playing around."

Huo...United?Cutting edge?Monkey?

Cao Cao's eyeballs rolled, Yu'er made a big fuss.

As far as Cao Cao knew, this Yang Feng was first the commander of the Baibo army, and then he joined Xiliang. He was regarded as Dong Zhuo's old subordinate.
Thinking of this, Cao Cao said:

"Lu Gongcao? It seems... I don't have a deep friendship with this Yang Feng? I haven't even met him once. Will he trust me?"

"Haha..." Hearing this, Lu Yu smiled slightly, and then waved his hands, "Mr. Cao is worrying too much, joining Yang Feng doesn't need friendship at all, just need a..."

At this point, Lu Yu didn't know how to describe it, so he simply said it.

"Things, that's right, to unite with him, only one thing is needed!"

Lu Yu deliberately sold off.

Uh...something?
This time, Cao Cao's curiosity was aroused. Yu'er's half-spoken temper really made people want to draw his sword.

At this moment, Lu Yu's words came out one after another.

"Yang Feng doesn't have this thing, Duke Cao does, and the Son of Heaven doesn't. Of course, Yuan Shao's is very long... as long as an elephant's nose!"

Hey…

Lu Yu's words made Cao Cao even more curious. Didn't the emperor and Yang Feng have one? Cao Cao was well-behaved, but Yuan Shao was very long?

Cao Cao murmured in his heart, can you be sure that Yuan Shao is very long?
Are you sure the emperor and Yang Feng are not there?

Cao Cao's eyes blinked again and again, and there were three large characters on his forehead - "I don't believe it!"

...
