Three Kingdoms: Cao Cao and Liu Bei help me to ascend the throne

Chapter 247 Who Is Guiding Him?
Triumph of the army...

Except for the emperor Liu Hong who greeted the general Huang Fusong in person.

Cao Song and his youngest son Cao De also came to welcome Cao Cao, and even Cao Cao's newborn son Cao Ang also hugged him.

They came on the ground covered with snow, these are all the male masters of the Cao family, they can be said to be out in force,

Three generations of a family welcomed Cao Cao's return, which made him feel sad and happy...

Cao Cao hugged his obviously old father, sobbing in his voice, "Father, my son is back!"

Cao Song couldn't help the tears streaming down his face. Every night when Cao Cao wasn't around, he couldn't sleep completely, but now he can finally hold his whole body in his arms.

Be at ease, the stone hanging high in my heart has finally landed safely.

It seems that if you want to divert, you will cry.

Cao Cao took the initiative to turn his head to Cao De, and he patted his younger brother Cao De on the shoulder emotionally: "Did you not listen to your father? Boy, you have grown a lot taller!"

"Brother..." Before Cao De could speak...

Cao Song grabbed Cao Cao's arm, "You haven't grown taller, but your body has strengthened a lot. Speaking of which, when Liu Yu asked you to join the army, Dad had a thousand things in his heart. Don't worry, but seeing you come back, you have matured a lot, and your body has become a lot tougher. It seems that you have learned a lot in the military camp, right? Go... When you get home, talk to Dad carefully!"

Cao Song was so excited...

He seemed to have a lot to say.

Cao Cao asked back, "Father, do you want to know what the child learned in the military camp?"

"What?" Cao Song asked hastily...

Cao Cao smiled...

He turned his head and followed the logistics soldiers who came back with him.

These are all soldiers of the logistics army. Most of the more than [-] logistics soldiers have already received their rewards and returned home.

But there are still more than [-] left, their hometown is not in Luoyang, as if... they couldn't go back years ago, but they have no relatives around Luoyang to rely on, so they are left with nowhere to go... So they followed their leader Cao Cao !
And Cao Cao... was thinking, and wanted to take all the soldiers home.

Just in time... Seeing the opportunity, Cao Cao looked at them with a smile and asked mysteriously, "Brothers, do you want to see what my house looks like?"

The soldiers shook their heads: "Lord Captain Cavalry, stop joking, the little ones don't dare."

Cao Cao seemed to be shocked, so he frowned and said, "Why don't you ride a captain? What kind of home!"

With a sound of "swipe", the faces of the soldiers turned pale. They looked at the three men, old and young, standing behind Cao Cao, showing timid expressions.

Especially the round, chubby old one with an ugly complexion.

Cao Cao turned around and looked at Cao Song with a gloomy face, and said with a smile, "Didn't father want to know what the child learned in the military camp? Didn't father always think that there were too few sons? This time I will take them all back to be your sons, how about it?" "

This is out of the way...

Cao Song felt that the whole person was stupid.

He immediately complained: "Come on, you better spare me this old bone, you alone are enough..."

Cao Song felt that the occasion was not suitable for complaining...

Turning his head to look at the ragged soldiers behind Cao Cao, they stood in the snow and looked bitterly cold.

It's almost New Year's Eve...

Push it, it's not humane, don't push it, oops... There are more than two hundred people, and the family's New Year's goods are not prepared so much...

But on second thought...

The meaning of what his son Cao Cao just said... these brothers, he learned in the military camp?

Yes…

Is it people's hearts?
All of a sudden, Cao Song suddenly understood, he finally understood... Liu Yu's painstaking efforts to let his son join the army.

It is the human heart. The most precious thing my son has learned in the army is the human heart!
really…

Cao Cao didn't give Cao Song time to think. He shook his chin at the soldiers: "Brothers, what are you waiting for? Put your luggage on your back and step with me—go! Go to our house...our house is the Dasinong Mansion, we Dad is the chief minister in charge of the state treasury at that time, what does our family have? Let go and eat!"

This time...pretending to be aggressive!
After all, they are the logistics army, but they have long been accustomed to Cao Cao's strict military orders. They quickly carried their salutes, bows and arrows and other combat equipment on their backs, followed Cao Cao's back, and went straight to Cao's mansion on Luoyang East Street.

this day...

The Cao family not only waited for Cao Cao, who was fighting on the front line of life and death, but also waited for more than two hundred young and strong men.

Although Cao Song complained, he still told his family to steam more pancakes, make more noodles, and stew frozen venison and pork in a large pot. The servants filled them in big bowls, and the soldiers ate them in large pieces.

There is not enough wine, so I can only "borrow" some from the treasury...

Everyone raised the wine and meat in their hands, wishing peace and auspiciousness!
But Cao Cao was the only one... He squinted his eyes and looked at the sky, "Second brother, third brother... where are you now?"

who would have thought...

Because of Liu Yu's appearance, Liu Bei...has become one of Cao Cao's most cherished people on New Year's Eve!

...

...

The Imperial Palace, the Palace of Longevity.

Zhang Rang is reporting the itinerary of the emperor after New Year's Eve and tomorrow.

You know, since the first year of Taichu, the Han Dynasty began to use the new "Taichu Calendar", and January became the first month... As the starting point of time, the first month naturally has a special meaning!

Many group activities involving spiritual culture and political economy often choose to start in the first month...and the busiest among them is the Son of Heaven!
Different from ordinary families, on Zhengdan Day, the parents have to lead the whole family to worship the ancestors. After the sacrifice is completed, there will be a family banquet.

At the banquet, family members toast to the parents in the order...son, daughter-in-law, grandson, great-grandson.

The end of the family banquet marks the completion of the internal part of the family on Zhengdan Day, and the rest is external activities... There are two types of activities - Ye and He!

Ye refers to meeting someone with a higher status than oneself, such as paying homage.On Zhengdan Day, you need to pay homage to the monarch, your teacher or other respected people, as well as your former superiors, etc.

而贺
The gifts of the Sangong and the princes are jade biscuits, the officials with two thousand stones to two thousand stones are lambs, the ones with a thousand stones to six hundred stones are wild geese, and the ones with less than four hundred stones are chickens.

Among so many people, only those with more than two thousand stones can go to the hall to meet the emperor.They will pay homage directly to the emperor while shouting "long live".

In other words, this "long live" is not qualified for everyone.

Like the Zhengdan Day activities within the family, after the activities of presenting gifts and worshiping, the palace banquet will follow.

During the banquet, Sikong (Prime Minister) and Da Sinong, both of them had to go off to serve food and drink in person. This is to respect the Qin system, although...the Han Dynasty is unwilling to admit it, but the Han Dynasty inherits the Qin system...it is almost a certainty .

"Your Majesty... Tomorrow morning, all the officials will present congratulatory gifts... Then Your Majesty will attend the main banquet, and Grand Captain Qiao and Cao Dasinong will pour wine for the ministers to celebrate!"

Zhang Rang reported tomorrow's regulations in detail, but the emperor Liu Hong was careless.

It seems that, in his opinion... something is more important than tomorrow's activities.

"No..."

The emperor Liu Hong uttered such a sentence suddenly, which really stunned Zhang Rang...

wrong?What's wrong?

In the past... Wasn't it always arranged like this in any year?
"wrong!"

This time, Liu Hong's tone became affirmative, and Zhang Rang was even more confused, scratching his head, "Which item is your Majesty going to cancel? But these are all passed down systems."

"It's not this..." Liu Hong waved his hand...

"Your Majesty..." Now, Zhang Rang was completely confused...

But Liu Hong said to himself, "Why did General Huang Fusong surrender his military power on his own initiative?"

He knocked on his forehead...

But... Liu Hong's words made Zhang Rang completely confused, what?Huangfu Song returned triumphantly, and unexpectedly... actually handed over his military power.

Zhang Rang naturally didn't know... Huangfusong returned in triumph, and the emperor was planning to confer on this meritorious service in front of all the officials, but Huangfusong took the initiative to mention that if you have something to do, please play... Can you take a step to speak.

Naturally, Liu Hong would not refute the great general's face, so the two returned to the Qianqiu Longsui Hall in the palace together.

The gate was closed tightly, and they were the only ones in the hall.

"On the way back, Yan Zhong, a native of Hanyang, proposed that now that the government is abolished and the country is empty, let the minister take advantage of the opportunity and replace His Majesty with the title system in the south! The minister wanted to kill him directly, but he was worried that His Majesty would suspect him, so he was escorted to Beijing to communicate. Interrogation by His Majesty!"

Huangfusong spoke first...

In history, this was true. When Huangfusong returned to the court triumphantly, someone advised him to go to the south to become a ruler, and Huangfusong directly chopped off the guy's head.

Although he has a resolute personality, he is loyal to the big man...

It's just that this matter...was used again by someone with a heart, saying that Huangfusong was harboring evil intentions and killing people to silence him.

"hiss…"

Liu Hong didn't expect Huangfusong to tell him such a thing.

Just when he wanted to say a few words of relief, Huangfusong knelt down with a "click", and he took out a soldier talisman of the Northern Army of the Han Court from his bosom, and handed it to the emperor with both hands.

"The descendants of the generals, it is a great honor to see His Majesty...However, ministers from outside the capital cannot enter the capital, and ministers who are not ministers cannot enter His Majesty for a hundred steps. The soldier talisman is really sincere and fearful, and I can’t sleep at night! Therefore, please allow the minister to hand over the soldier talisman. If there are thieves rebelling in the future, it will not be too late for your majesty to accept orders from the minister!"

Huangfusong's operation directly confused Liu Hong at that time...

In the Han Dynasty, there are too many... ministers with power in their hands, but no generals who voluntarily surrendered their military power...

This Huangfusong?Not always fortitude?stubborn?Are you stubborn?So this time... so smooth.

For a while, Liu Hong didn't know how to answer Huangfusong's words.

On the other hand, Huangfusong was holding the military talisman in both hands respectfully, with a sense of sight that he would not be able to kneel until he handed over the military talisman.

"General Huangfu is really a loyal minister!" Liu Hong said with emotion after receiving the military talisman.

But the talisman was taken back...

However, Liu Hong's mood became complicated. He paced back and forth in the Qianqiu Long Live Hall, always feeling that something was wrong...

stroked his forehead...

Liu Hong turned his head to Zhang Rang, as if he wanted to change the subject and change his mind.

"Zhang Changshi, your big house..."

Without waiting for the words of the emperor Liu Hong to blurt out, Zhang Rang knelt down with a "click", "Your Majesty, I am guilty of death... I am guilty of death, I know that I have overstepped... I know that I have overstepped, that day... After receiving the punishment, I will... Just demolish that courtyard, demolish that Qionglou..."

"Hehe..." Liu Hong was happy, and he said with emotion: "If you know your mistakes and you can correct them, there is nothing good about it...By the way, it seems that last time...you and Zhao Changshi were the ones who sued General Huangfu, right?"

Uh…

Zhang Rang seemed to understand, and with a "gudong", he swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"Your Majesty...Your Majesty...the minister is guilty, the minister is guilty!"

"What is the crime?" Liu Hong tried to ask.

"It's my minister..." Zhang Rang confessed with a guilty conscience, "It's my minister and Zhao Changshi who were obsessed with ghosts. ...wanted to leave some money for His Majesty in the treasury, never thought that this Huangfu Song would not enter, saying that Jizhou was a place where the battle was fought, and the government could not even have enough to eat, so there was no money for the court. So...the minister ...The minister and Zhao Chang Shicai wrote a letter to sue him...accusing him that although the victory was futile, the killing was too heavy, the population loss along the way was too large, the people's livelihood was poor, the agricultural production was severely damaged, the image of the emperor and the officers and soldiers was damaged in the hearts of the people, and money and food were wasted , the gain outweighs the loss!"

Well…

Liu Hong's eyes widened, he didn't expect... there is still such a [-]%.

This is... a surprise!

Originally, before Huangfusong handed over the military power, Liu Hong was going to let Huangfusong guard the imperial tomb, but when it comes to this...then...

"His Majesty…"

At this moment, Jian Shuo hurried over. He hurriedly broke into the Qianqiu Long Live Hall, regardless of Zhang Rang's presence, and directly handed a bamboo slip to Liu Hong.

"Your Majesty asked the ministers to investigate and found out. Sure enough... General Huangfu left the army five days before returning to the capital... I don't know who he was going to see. It was Captain Cao Cao who brought the army back! Don't worry, Your Majesty. I have continued to find out, who did General Huangfu see?"

This is what Liu Hong ordered Jian Shuo to investigate after he took back the soldier talisman yesterday.

Sure enough...

"There's no need to check!" Liu Hong waved his hand and said, "I already know who is pointing him in the wrong direction!"

This…

Jian Shuo was taken aback.

However, Liu Hong raised his head and murmured: "I know the road of heroes all over the world, and there is a willow man in Yulin...how can you have your willow feathers everywhere! Ha ha... ha ha ha..."

This time, Liu Hong didn't punish anyone, he smiled... very happily.

...

...

"Step... step!"

On Taihang Mountain, there were crisp footsteps, Liu Yu abandoned his horse, and he went up the mountain ladder under the escort of Guan Yu alone.

In front is a camp... To be precise, it is a camp called "Black Mountain Village".

hard to imagine…

Behind such a camp, there are more than 300,000 remnants of the Yellow Turbans hidden... Of course, these remnants of the Yellow Turbans have a brand new name-Black Mountain Army!

Liu Yu walked up the mountain road...

He murmured silently in his heart: "In 185 A.D., Guo Damu, the remaining member of the Yellow Turban hidden in the Taihang Mountains, gathered a crowd in Baibo Valley to revolt and sent troops to attack Taiyuan, Hedong and other counties and cities."

"The peasant uprising led by Ma Pengping in Yizhou also called himself the Yellow Turban Army, and used the banner of the Yellow Turban Army to carry out external activities. In half a month, they broke through several cities of Guanghan, Bajun, and Qianwei, and killed Xi Jian, the governor of Yizhou."

"The Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou once developed to have millions of people, and their combat effectiveness was also very strong. They have been fighting in Qingzhou, Xu, Yan, and Jizhou for a long time, and dealt a heavy blow to the local feudal separatist forces and powerful landlords."

"Small-scale rebellions continue to occur in various places, resulting in many scattered rebel forces ranging from thousands to millions, such as Zhang Yan's Black Mountain bandits, who have occupied the north for 15 years. It was not until Cao Cao pacified Jizhou that he brought Soldiers surrender!"

Liu Yu silently recalled the deeds of the Yellow Turban Remnant Party in her heart...

While remembering, while moving forward...

He raised his head and looked towards the mountain gate of the black village again!

This visit by him and Guan Yu, will this be... a turning point for these remnants of the Yellow Turbans from rebellion to surrender?
