Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1313 Xun Yu

A person's whole life is always wandering between seeking and not seeking. There is something to ask for, and there is something not to ask for.

Cai Yong, in the first half of his life, the word "loyalty to the emperor" has carried out all the themes. For this big man and also for Emperor Ling, he worked hard for half his life.

He was the one who took the blame for Emperor Ling when he was exiled to Jiangdong.

For the stability of the court.

Also for Emperor Ling to preserve the power of the emperor, he willingly endured this suffering.

And the rest of his life.

It seems to have started from the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

At that time, the big man was already a wan dynasty.

In order to save the Great Han Dynasty, in order to reproduce the prosperity of the Great Han Dynasty, he also tried his best, and he was even able to take advantage of his own daughter and his reputation that he had managed all his life.

The reason why he married his daughter to Mujing in the first place.

Married to the Mu family who was born as a bandit.

That was to win over Mu Shan, the most powerful minister of the Guangxi Dynasty.

As long as Mu Shan helps the young emperor well, he believes that there is still hope for the Han Dynasty.

Unfortunately, some things are hard to come by.

The big man has come to today step by step, towards the last generation, making this world a chaotic world, with princes fighting in chaos, repeating the world 400 years ago.

His hope, along with Liu Xie's bad moves, turned into despair.

Liu Xie killed his brother Liu Bian and killed his mother-in-law, the Empress Dowager He.

But for the sake of the world, it's not unbearable.

Cai Yong held back, although his heart was in Muying, his heart was in Han, and he was still unwilling to go out for an official career, and he was still unwilling to assist Mujing, because he still had hope for the Han Dynasty.

But what about later?

Xiliang Dong Zhuo controlled the government, and Liu Xie finally became a puppet, which made him even more disappointed.

Battle of Guanzhong.

It was the only good move, but it showed even more that Liu Xie was insignificant in this troubled world. Even if Dong Zhuo was killed, he would not have the ability to play all day long.

But it just changed from Dong Zhuo's puppet to Cao Cao's puppet.

Continue like this.

What hope is there for the Han Dynasty.

Cai Yong chose to become an official, on the one hand, he didn't want to stand in a stalemate with Mu Jing, and let his daughter feel uncomfortable in the middle;

When Mujing was promoting the New Deal, he made a bet with Mujing, which was a test for Mujing.

Mujing did it.

He also threw in the towel.

I lost the great Han Dynasty in my heart, and lost the loyalty to the emperor that I had maintained for decades.

It can be regarded as being soft for the people of the world.

Because he can really feel that although the people under the jurisdiction of the Minghou Mansion are not very happy and life is hard, they all see the existence of hope.

The hope of this kind of life has not been seen in the people of the big man for a long time. It seems that since the Yellow Turban Rebellion that year, the people have lost the hope of living more.

Therefore, even though this time there was a discussion about becoming the king, even if he knew that Mu Jing would completely embark on the journey of betraying the great man once he became the king, he didn't have much resistance in his heart.

Of course, there are some ripples.

"This discussion, the old man abstains!"

Cai Yong looked at Mujing, and said in a low voice: "You can think clearly about the path and how to walk yourself, and that's fine. I hope that in the future, you will not forget your original intention and the people of the world!"

"Father!"

Mu Jing let out a long sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "The people are water, water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize a boat. I am not the master of one person, and the world is not controlled by the Mu family. Remember this sentence!"

Some principles represent life. He was never afraid that Cai Yong would be unfavorable to him, but he was afraid that one day, because of the current situation, he would be forced to take up the butcher's knife and kill Cai Yong, because his principle was the Han Dynasty.

Breaking his principles is undoubtedly destroying his beliefs, and even destroying his spirit. This is a very difficult and difficult thing.

As long as he doesn't have the original intention for a day.

One day it will come to the right.

Now, Cai Yong's desperation for the Han Dynasty and his concession to himself may make the ending more beautiful.

..............................

This proposal was a good one, but it was not something that could be followed casually. It was still necessary to wait and see the current situation, so Mu Jing put the envoy from the imperial court on hold.

He is waiting.

What are you waiting for?

Wait for the emperor, or Cao Cao's reaction.

If there is one person leading this matter, then the other person will definitely react.

Depends on their reaction.

to make more accurate judgments.

"Order Jingwu Division under the world to spread the news that the emperor will reward Minghou as the first king with a different surname in the court, so that everyone in the world will know, including Hebei!"

Mu Jing said to Xin Zhao.

"promise!"

Xin Zhao went to do it immediately.

Mu Jing's thoughts began to become more treacherous, and his mind kept turning, each thought made him dizzy.

This matter is not simple.

Do you want to be crowned king?
Does the Southwest want to establish a dynasty and a country?
Only after assessing the situation can we make a decision, otherwise, if we take a step, it may destroy the ten-year operation of Minghou Mansion.

..............................

Xu all.

Royal Palace.

Compared with the palace in Luoyang, this palace is naturally a bit simple and shabby, and it is impossible for Cao Cao to rebuild a palace comparable to Weiyang Palace for the emperor.

Not to mention that he doesn't have so much money, even if he did, he wouldn't spend it on this place.

However, Liu Xie is quite satisfied with the palace.

In Xudu, although he was also restrained, at least it would not be the same as in Chang'an. Dong Zhuo's rampant behavior was unbearable, and Cao Cao also completely controlled the government, but he did not treat him openly. disrespectful.

Everyone is still an amicable monarch and minister.

At least Cao Cao has given him the bright face.

Of course, the Son of Heaven is the supreme being in the world, and he will not be satisfied so easily. Since he followed Cao Cao to the south and was flattered by Cao Cao, his enemy has already been Cao Cao.

Cao Cao needed his influence.

And he doesn't need the support of Cao Cao's forces.

It depends on who can have the last laugh.

Although his hope is very slim, but he is the emperor, the emperor can die, he can't lose, he doesn't think that he will lose to Cao Cao.

"Lieutenant, how are things going?"

In the small side hall of the palace, Liu Xie looked at Yang Biao kindly.

The Guanzhong aristocratic family is a group of officials of the imperial court. In the battle of Guanzhong, many people died. Not many people can survive and come to Xudu as ministers.

Yang Biao is one of them.

Hongnong Yang, even though he is still in Guanzhong, and even lives under the Mu family, has always flattered the Han Dynasty, and Yang Biao is an old fox.

Ministers like Wang Yun and Sima Fang couldn't escape the difficulty at first.

However, he escaped.

At the beginning, he hid from Dong Zhuo. After Dong Zhuo died, he hid from the Mu Clan's search, and finally let him come to Xudu smoothly. With his reputation and influence, Cao Cao had no choice but to welcome him in person.

He was named the Taiwei of the current dynasty.

"Is there any news from the Southwest? But Your Majesty, Yichen understands the temptation of Mulongtu. How could he let it go? He will definitely be hooked!"

Yang Biao cupped his hands and said.

"If you still can't let him take the bait, then we will be villains in vain!" Liu Xie said in a low voice.

"But this matter, will the prime minister be furious!" Yang Biao was worried, and he cupped his hands to remind him: "Your Majesty, now that the prime minister controls the government, and both inside and outside the palace are the prime minister's soldiers, we are like standing on a stove. If you are not careful, you will be burned to pieces, and you must not fall out with the prime minister!"

"I know!"

The more mature Liu Xie has been, the more he has experienced, it has made him understand many things, and he has become calmer. Position, destroying Dong Zhuo in Guanzhong, although the final outcome is not very good, but everything he wants to do has been done, this is also one of his abilities.

He looked very calm, and said indifferently: "The prime minister will find out sooner or later, but the prime minister may not turn against me, maybe he should give me more, I am helping him!"

This is killing two birds with one stone.

Hebei has already embraced a new king, and the young emperor's secret edict is a provocation to his orthodox status. From this moment on, he has given up on Yuan Shao and will destroy Hebei.

The combination of Cao Cao and Liu Bei has already posed a threat to Hebei.

But not enough.

Southwest is a big mess.

He was not only appeasing the Southwest, but also pulled the Southwest into the formation of the imperial court to fight against Hebei.

Similarly, he also found something for Cao Cao.

He was afraid of Mujing, so why didn't Cao Mengde be afraid of Mujing? Now that he is weak, Mujing and Cao Cao are not something he can provoke, because he has no soldiers in his hands and has no right to speak.

But he can provoke a battle between Cao Cao and Mu Jing.

The more intense they fight.

Only then will I have a little chance to come back, otherwise, when Cao Cao dominates the world, I will definitely have no good fruit to eat as a puppet.

........................

Prime Minister's House.

Cao Jun mobilized troops again and again, sending in several front-line battle reports and military reports a day, and the sound of footsteps coming in and out never stopped.

And Cao Cao is about to go north to supervise the battle.

Yuan Shao has already started to visit the front line in person, which will definitely increase Yuan Jun's morale. If he stays in Xudu, Cao Jun's morale will be low, so it is inevitable to go to the front line.

This battle will determine the status of the northern hegemon.

Cao Cao has already done his best.

He can't afford to lose.

"Wen Ruo, after the Prime Minister left Xudu, I can only rely on your support for government affairs. The battle must be supported by food and fodder. If there is no food and fodder, we will lose without fighting!"

In the hall, Cao Cao looked at Xun Yu with gentle eyes and a hint of expectation.

Xun Wenruo.

When he was young, he had the reputation of Wang Zuozhi's talent, and he was full of knowledge. Whether he was a man, an official, or doing things, he never lived up to his reputation as Wang Zuozhi's talent.

It is Cao Cao who relies on him, and who is a little jealous.

Reliance means relying on his ability. He can properly handle the government affairs of the prime minister's mansion and arrange the affairs of Henan, Yanzhou and Xuzhou states properly, which is an indispensable existence.

And fear.

It is nothing more than some obsessions that are still preserved in Xun Yu's heart. Guo Jia does not have this, so Guo Jia deserves Cao Cao's absolute trust.

But Xun Yu, he still yearns for the Han Dynasty.

Of course, although Xun Yu has a stubborn personality, he is extremely smart. He understands the current situation better than most people, and even understands Cao Cao and the Son of Heaven better.

Although he always yearned for the Han Dynasty, he deeply knew that Cao Mengde was the only one who revived the Han Dynasty in the whole world, so he was loyal to both the Han Dynasty and Cao Cao.

This is not contradictory.

As long as Cao Cao is still a Hanchen.

But one day, Cao Cao had a heart that he shouldn't have. He was dying, and even the emperor would not die for him, because he was loyal to a big man of Cao Cao.

"My lord, don't worry, the crusade against disobedient ministers is a major matter for the court at present, and I will definitely do my best to ensure that the court is stable and there is no need to worry about food and fodder!"

Xun Yu bowed his hands and responded to Cao Cao.

"The prime minister is naturally not worried about your ability, but the emperor may not be obedient!" Cao Cao was not afraid to spread it out in front of Xun Yu. After all, he needed Xun Yu to change his attitude, and he didn't need to hide it: "A certain Don't be afraid of the enemy, just be afraid of being like Mu Xiangguo in the past, rejecting all the heroes in the front, but being stabbed by the people behind, then I will give up!"

"My lord, the emperor should understand in his heart that the lord can protect the great man well. At this moment, whether public or private, he should not stop the lord from crusade against Hebei!"

In fact, Xun Yu is also worried about this brain benevolence. Liu Xie is not a fuel-efficient lamp. You can see how he killed Dong Zhuo back then. But at this time, he doesn't want anything between Cao Cao and the emperor. contradiction.

So he wants to reconcile in the play.

However, his answer was not what Cao Cao wanted to hear. Seeing Cao Cao's smiling face, Xun Yu gritted his teeth, folded his heart, and said, "Even if your majesty doesn't understand the loyalty of the lord, then you should be Let Your Majesty understand that in this world, only the Lord can revitalize the Han Dynasty!"

This is a guarantee for him.

If the Son of Heaven uses some tricks behind his back, Cao Cao will not need to take action, he will solve it by himself, and no one will give face when the time comes.

A person who has reached the position of Xun Yu.

Don't promise easily.

Commitment is better than doing it with all your strength, and you won't let yourself break your promise.

"With your words, the prime minister can rest assured!"

Only then did Cao Cao show a smile on his face, and said: "I have mobilized an elite army for this battle, and the southern front is bound to be empty. Although I have persuaded Jiangdong, I may not be able to suppress the southwest. Jiangdong is under the Minghou Mansion. It's just a defeated general, Mu Jing is young and vigorous, even if he is unable to go north in the whole army, he will not be allowed to be stubborn, and if there is any change in the south, it will make me a little worried!"

"Not afraid!"

Xun Yu said: "I have let Zhong Yao go south as an envoy of the imperial court. As long as we can delay the time of the Minghou Mansion in the southwest, we will have no worries on the south line!"

"I can trust Zhong Yao's ability!"

Cao Cao nodded.

"My lord!" At this moment, a low voice shouted from outside the hall.

"Say!"

Cao Cao frowned and responded in a low voice.

"An urgent report from General Xiahou in Guanzhong!"

"It's here!"

"promise!"

The military newspaper soon came up.

Cao Cao opened it directly, took a look, and his face became very gloomy: "Our neighbor, I can't stand it anymore!"

"what happened?"

"Luoyang is already under the control of the Mu army. Xia Houyuan dared not attack by force, so retreated for twenty miles!" Cao Cao responded to Xun Yu.
