Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 187 Serving the Emperor's Orders and Not Subjects! (Continue to add updates during the day, ask for tickets!)
In June of the second year of Xingping, the emperor left Chang'an city in the east!

The emperor walked out of Chang'an City smoothly, bringing many officials and various documents with him.

When Zhang Ji wanted to take the emperor to Hongnong, Li Jue and Guo Si realized that they seemed to have been fooled by Zhang Ji.

But Zhang Ji is actually just a tool man.
Not long after Yang Feng, Dong Cheng and others escorted Han Xiandi to leave Chang'an, they secretly escaped from their shells, quickly escaped from Zhang Ji's control, and fled towards Luoyang at the fastest speed.

Jia Xu said, "When you arrive in Luoyang, if you issue an edict to the princes of the Guandong, someone will come to greet you. At that time, Li Guozhang and others will have nothing to fear."

Realizing that Li Jue and Guo Si had been cheated by Zhang Ji, he immediately sent an army to recover the emperor.

Zhang Ji, who also found out that he had been tricked, also led a mighty army to chase and kill the emperor!

However, although the three of them marched at the same time, they guarded against each other and restrained each other.

The mutual distrust made them look forward and backward, which directly caused their marching speed to be unable to increase.

This gave the emperor and his party more time to escape.

However, a change that no one could have imagined happened.

All the troops around Chang'an came out of Hangu Pass, and the Guanzhong area was immediately emptied of defense.

King Zuo Xian of the Southern Huns took the opportunity to go south and wantonly plunder Guanzhong!
The news that the Southern Xiongnu betrayed the Han court and plundered Guanzhong shook the world, and all the people of the big man were heartbroken.

In Juancheng Prefecture Mufu, Cao Cao and others also received the news.

Everyone present was equally angry, but Yanzhou was too far away from Guanzhong, and they simply had no power to do so.

And even if you can catch up,
When the Xiongnu dispatched, they were all cavalry, who came roaring and came roaring back,
There are only more than ten thousand elite riders in my family, so what can I use to fight with others?

Although Xun Yu was also very sad, his rationality still told him that now is not the time for grief and anger.
"My lord, the chaos in Guanzhong has been powerless, and our strength is now at its peak, while the strength of the surrounding princes has been greatly damaged by the disaster.

The subordinates believe that we should focus on our own surroundings. "

Cao Cao tapped his forehead with his fingers, and replied: "You are right, you should be brave after you know your shame. We have to strengthen ourselves first, and then slowly clean up those alien races!"

But when Xun Yu and Cao Cao wanted to lead the topic to crusade against the surrounding princes,
But Xi Zhicai came out of the class and cupped his hands and said: "My lord, there is a letter from the master, the emperor has left Chang'an and is heading towards Luoyang!"

"Wow!" Everyone shouted loudly, and then they started discussing one after another.

Cao Cao didn't expect that, as Lu Yan said in his diary, his own fortune would come so quickly!

This is really "happiness comes too suddenly"

However, other people's comments are somewhat different from Cao Cao's excitement.

"The Son of Heaven returns to Luoyang?"

"Then Luoyang City is in ruins, why go back and eat ashes?"

Many people don't understand Xi Zhicai's intention of putting forward this news. In their view, the Son of Heaven is just a puppet to be manipulated by others.You see, he's under Li Jue and Guo Si, so it's useless
Everyone in the Guandong princes supports their own soldiers, and whoever is full will take the emperor seriously.

What's more, the present Emperor Xian Liu Xie was supported by that thief Dong Zhuo, which made them feel even more awkward.

Not everyone can have a strategic vision. In fact, most people are still used to focusing on immediate interests.

But there are always some people who can weigh the pros and cons of the whole through the immediate interests, and put forward enlightening insights!
Mao Jie, when everyone was discussing, suddenly walked out of the queue.

After bowing his hands to Cao Cao, he said loudly: "My lord, this subordinate once discussed matters related to the Son of Heaven with Lu Yan, the prefect of Chenliu, and came to a conclusion."

Cao Cao actually knew about Lu Yan's plan a long time ago. That guy is really daring.

"Use the emperor to make the princes, and at the same time recruit the talents of the world for your own use!"

Cao Cao thought about some words in Lu Yan's diary, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he murmured: "Bold and bold! I like it."

After the hall became quiet, Cao Cao stood up and asked Mao Jie, "Xiaoxian, tell me what conclusion you have come to."

Mao Jie glanced around those short-sighted people from the corner of his eyes, then raised his head and chest, and shouted loudly: "I will serve the emperor, so that I will not be a minister!"

"Follow the emperor's order and not be a minister? Who will listen to your order? It's a joke!"

"Xiao Xiangong, our current territory and people are our own, but once the emperor comes, we may not be able to do so in the future!"

"Yes, is it possible to give away the foundation we have worked so hard to build?"

Listening to these people's words, Xun Yu felt a little sad in his heart, "Is it the Han soil in the whole world, and the Han officials on the shore of the land, but they have already picked themselves out. Sad, sad!"

But this is the situation, the general trend!
Even though he Xun Yu is amazingly talented and has the talent of Wang Zuozhi, he is still weak like a grain of sand in front of the general trend.
Among these people, the most powerful opponents are undoubtedly Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Chun and other clan generals.

"Why should we give the little emperor the land we worked so hard to build with the eldest brother?"

After Mao Jie said that, he retreated to his position, closed his eyes and regained his composure.

He doesn't seem to care what those people think, he just needs to say that sentence himself.

Greeting the Son of Heaven is the moment when Boss Cao's power really takes off, and Cao Cao himself knows it very well.

But there are still many people under his command who object, and at this time he has to come forward and make the final decision.

"Everyone!"

Hearing Cao Cao's voice, everyone quickly fell silent.

"Welcome to the emperor, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages." Before Cao Cao finished speaking,
The angry Xiahou Dun suddenly said first: "Brother, you are so confused! Look at the imperial edict issued by the emperor under Li Jue and Guo Si. Who has really heard of it?"

Xiahou Dun's words won the support of many people.

Today's emperor's edict is indeed a piece of waste paper, who would really listen to it?Oh, except for the ones who got promoted.
Cao Cao didn't bother to explain to his brother, he said directly: "Yuan Rang, I have made up my mind and there is no need to discuss it."

"Oh!" Seeing that Cao Cao couldn't be persuaded to return, Xiahou Dun could only grit his teeth and sighed hard.

Cao Cao suddenly smiled and said, "Don't worry, Yuan Rang. If the Son of Heaven asks us to meet him, Cao will definitely go there. But if he doesn't call us, we naturally don't need to welcome him."

"Hehe, the emperor has become a pheasant in trouble that day, how can he have the right to pick and choose?"

"General Xiahou, speak carefully!"

In fact, the advantages of welcoming the emperor far outweigh the disadvantages.

With nominal orthodoxy and Cao Cao's reputation of benevolence, all kinds of talents will naturally come here, and they will also get the support of many aristocratic families.

Although relying on the emperor to order the princes, the princes are not moved at all, but there are many edicts issued, and they are still somewhat effective.

The funny thing is that when the emperor first issued an edict for the princes of the Guandong to meet him, only Cao Cao went.

When other people saw that Cao Cao played the emperor so smoothly, they all began to envy and jealous again.

Jiangdong Sun Ce even wanted to send troops to attack Xudu and take away the emperor
It is conceivable how important the move of welcoming the emperor is to Cao Cao.
