Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 180 The Emperor Returns East, Yuan Shao or Cao Cao?
Boss Cao is indeed a real person, at least for now he still really wants to help the Han Dynasty.

As for what will happen to his mentality in the future, that is a matter of the future.

People's hearts are the most complicated. Lu Yan only hopes that Boss Cao can maintain his original aspirations for the people. As for who the emperor is, he really doesn't care much.

In fact, in the Three Kingdoms period, how many people really cared about the Han Dynasty?

Looking at the back of the carriage carrying the court envoys, Cao Cao sighed and said, "Why did you end up in such a state?"

Not to mention others, Xun Yu is absolutely loyal to the Han family and the emperor.

Hearing Cao Cao's words, Xun Yu suddenly bowed his hands to him and bowed deeply, saying, "Master, the Son of Heaven needs your help!"

Cao Cao quickly helped Xun Yu up, and was about to comfort him, when Cheng Yu suddenly said, "Wen Ruo, my lord also wants to help Han, but the emperor is far away in Chang'an, so I can't reach him."

Xun Yu felt very uncomfortable in his heart, but as a wise man, reason would always overwhelm emotion.

He knew that Cheng Yu's words were correct.

You can't just ruin your current great foundation in vain in order to rescue the emperor.

Thousands of words, finally turned into a long sigh, "Oh!"

Xun Yu retreated behind Cao Cao, staring at the direction the carriage left for a long time, but he didn't know what he was thinking.

Seeing that the carriage disappeared from sight, Cao Cao turned to Xun Yu and Cheng Yu and said, "We need to strengthen ourselves to help the Son of Heaven turn the tide.

Wen Ruo, Zhong De, I still need your help in the future! "

"With the lord's trust, Yu (Yu) dares to die!"

In a blink of an eye, the first year of Xingping is approaching.

This year, the princes endured very hard.

Even Boss Cao felt a mountain of pressure.

Money and food are consumed faster than expected.

Seeing that the blood volume was about to run out, in the end it was Tian, ​​the patriarch of the rich family in Dongjun County, who took the lead in calling on the family to donate money and food. At the critical moment, he gave Boss Cao a bite, and Boss Cao survived.

In order to thank the Tian family for their help in times of crisis, Cao Cao enlisted Tian's two sons as officials and worked in Jibei and Dong'e respectively.

Since then, the Tian family has stepped from a wealthy gentry to a higher level.

Although the crisis has not been completely resolved, in the first year of Xingping, generally speaking, there is no danger.

As long as the first batch of grain is harvested in the coming year and the nearly one million refugees are completely digested, Yanzhou can once again usher in an opportunity for rapid development!

But Chang'an City, which is far away in Jingzhao, has experienced hellish torture this year.

in the palace,
Hanxian Emperor Liu Xie, who is only 14 years old,
At this time, the face was earthy, and he was sitting on his dragon chair trembling.

Standing on both sides of the wide dragon chair are Li Jue and Guo Si, who are wearing armor and have long knives hanging from their waists.

The courtiers below did not dare to make a sound, they were already scared of being killed by Li and Guo!

Those who can still stand here are all people who know how to save their lives, and the ministers who are a little more upright have all been bent or broken
From Dong Zhuo's entry into Luoyang to Li Jue and Guo Si's control of the government, rebels were rampant, and the dignity of the emperor had long since disappeared.

Although Dong Zhuo is a bastard, there are Li Ru and others who can persuade him, and there is still some superficial respect for the emperor's royal family.

But what about the two in front of them?
That's a reckless man who doesn't take the emperor seriously.

Li Jue and Guo Si didn't know what rumors they heard recently, and they began to gradually suspect each other.

This kind of suspicion continued from the court to the army, until the two finally turned against each other completely!
Today's court hall has become a battlefield for Li Jue and Guo Si. Anyway, no matter how they fight, Liu Xie just shrinks aside and dare not make a sound.

After finally making it to the next court, Liu Xie carefully returned to his bedroom with the support of the elderly eunuch.

at the same time,

The envoy who went to Juancheng, Yanzhou to deliver the reward edict finally came back.

"Your Majesty!" The envoy burst into tears after seeing Liu Xie, "I went to Yanzhou alone, and I almost couldn't come back!"

When Liu Xie heard this, he said in horror: "Ah! Could it be that Cao Cao is going to harm you too?"

The envoy was taken aback when he heard the words, and knew that he seemed to have misspoken, so he hurriedly remedied: "It's not Cao Yanzhou, but the famine along the way, the common people are eating ministers. The minister was almost caught and roasted by a group of people! "

"Roasted?!" The eunuch's eyes widened, and he whispered, "They... eat people???"

"Don't talk about barbecue, I haven't eaten it for a long time." Liu Xie's mind went awry.

Hearing the eunuch's horrified low cry, Liu Xie put aside the strange thoughts in his mind.

The envoy didn't see the faint strangeness in Liu Xie's eyes, he continued: "I came from Yingchuan County, passed through Chenliu, Puyang and finally arrived at Juancheng."

Looking up, seeing Liu Xiehe and the old eunuch staring at him, the emissary hurriedly continued: "Unlike other places where the land was full of starvation due to severe drought and famine, Yingchuan, Chenliu, and Dongjun can still harvest more than [-]% of the grain. .

And because Chenliu prefect Lu Yan bought food a few months in advance, not only did no one starve to death in Yanzhou, but also took in nearly a million refugees! ! "

"Oh~~! Cao Cao is so prescient?!" Liu Xie couldn't help exclaiming when he heard the words.

Hearing this news, Liu Xie was refreshed. This Cao Cao is simply a clear stream in the rolling mud and rocks!

The old eunuch also said at this time:

"Your Majesty, Cao Yanzhou assassinated Dong alone, although it ended in failure, he launched an alliance to seek Dong.

Later, he even led the army to chase and kill Dong thief alone. It can be said that he is devoted to the Han and loyal! "

Liu Xie nodded fiercely and agreed: "You are right, Cao Cao is indeed extremely loyal and brave!"

The envoy waited until Liu Xiehe and the eunuch had finished praising Cao Cao, and then continued: "I have made many inquiries in Juancheng, and found that Cao Yanzhou has never committed any trespass."

"Alas, there are very few Hanchens who are so loyal and responsible," Liu Xie sighed again.

Many princes have begun to ignore the court and set up officials themselves.

The envoy felt that his analysis and vision should be fine, so he said: "Your Majesty, according to my opinion, Cao Yanzhou should be the most trustworthy Kanto prince."

Liu Xie still hesitated. To be honest, the best candidate in his mind is definitely not Cao Cao after the eunuch. "But I think Yuan Shao will be better?"

The envoy did not go to Yuan Shao's place, but the fourth and third sons of the Yuan family, and Yuan Shao's prestige as the leader of the coalition army, all of these are still there.

What's more, Yuan Shao also sits in the whole territory of Jizhou and has great families to help him. His soldiers and horses are only stronger than Cao Cao's.

"Your Majesty, why don't you send them an imperial edict at the same time, if anyone can arrive first, we will accept him"

The envoy's suggestion is very pertinent, and it can be regarded as a compromise.

Liu Xie nodded, thinking it was a good idea.

That being the case, the eunuch asked Liu Xie for instructions: "Your Majesty, shouldn't we make plans earlier?"

There was a flash of struggle in Liu Xie's eyes, after all, this was a desperate act.

But his eyes quickly hardened.

If you don't fight, you will die of humiliation sooner or later; if you fight, you may be able to turn your bicycle into a motorcycle. At worst, you can die with dignity!
"Done!" Liu Xie gritted his teeth and said, "Contact Taiwei Yang Biao, let's find a chance and act!"

The envoy cupped his hands and bowed to the end, his tone trembling with excitement, "Minister, take orders!!!"
