After the internal affairs and military affairs are arranged properly.

Cao Ang saw that the sky had become a little dark.

Immediately let everyone go down to rest.

It's just that Xun Yu was left alone.

After everyone left, Cao Ang waved to Xun Yu.

"Wen Ruo, come with me to the garden?"

Xun Yu had no reason to refuse, he got up naturally, and left the hall with Cao Ang.

And in the gazebo in the garden.

Cao Ang stood with his hands behind his back, looking up at the pure white and bright moon that was hanging in the sky, swaying the cold brilliance to the boundless earth.

Appreciating the flowers, plants and trees in the courtyard, shrouded by the moonlight, emitting a faint white light, I feel relaxed and happy for a while.

But after looking up for a while.

Cao Ang quickly turned his mind to business.

"Wen Ruo, earlier I arranged for Gongda to stay here to take charge of all the government affairs here, but I didn't appoint you to do anything. Do you know why?"

In fact, Xun Yu has been paying attention to Cao Ang's movements, so as soon as this question is thrown, he has already answered it, and then quickly responded.

"The general deeply understands that the subordinates don't know, but I think you probably want to keep the subordinates to return to East County for appointment. After all, that is the place where the general started, and it is also inseparable from people. I wonder if what the subordinates said is right?"

When Cao Ang heard the words, he immediately smiled loudly.

Turning his head to stare at Xun Yu, he said something meaningful.

"Wen Ruo, Wen Ruo, I didn't expect you to learn to joke with me."

"It's true that East County is where I started, but no matter how important it is, it's just a middle county. Even Nanyang County and Runan County, which are big counties in the world, are just one county!"

"Even Gongda is in charge of a state's affairs. Your intelligence is not inferior to Gongda's, and you are even superior in concealment. How could I be overqualified and let you manage a county?"

Listening to such words.

Xun Yu himself couldn't hold back anymore.

Can't help but chuckle.

"General Huiyan, my subordinates are indeed joking. Although Dongjun is connected to Yanzhou and Jizhou, but the land of one county can no longer accommodate your situation, General."

"However, General, what are your specific thoughts, the subordinates really haven't figured it out for a while."

……

Cao Ang didn't show off this time.

Instead, he chose to reveal the specific arrangements.

"Actually, it's not only you, those who are currently in Dongjun, including Cheng Yu and the others, will leave the county mansion of Dongjun in the future for other purposes."

"The five prefectures of Yuzhou are now owned by my Cao family. If you go further south, there will be a lot of resistance. But if you go east, Xuzhou is now monolithic. Tao Qian seems to be a good old man, but in fact he is not easy to deal with."

"So after turning the center of gravity to the north, we can only go to Qingzhou or to Sili. There are two ways to go."

"And Qingzhou has been ravaged by ants and thieves, and it has long been dilapidated. If you really want to take action, it won't take long to pacify the entire territory of the state."

"So at the end of the two roads, they will merge into the same road, that is, go west, go to Luoyang, and even go further!"

Just got here.

Cao Ang didn't have time to continue talking.

Xun Yu interjected excitedly.

"General, what do you mean to say, after Qingzhou has been pacified and the rear has been stabilized, then proceed to march westward and attack Dong Zhuozhi again?!"

……

Cao Ang nodded happily when he heard the words.

"Dong Zhuo is perverted and brutal. I have received news that Chang'an is about to lose his hold. Now the situation is tense."

"Just wait for this string to break, and Dong Zhuo's power will collapse, like quicksand pouring down."

"How can I miss such a great opportunity, I will launch a crusade as soon as possible, and rescue all the court officials who were coerced by Dong Zhuo, restore the Han Dynasty, and return to the old capital."

Hear Cao Ang admit to the plan.

The joy on Xun Yu's face could no longer be concealed.

The excitement seems to be transformed into substance, rushing out of the eye sockets.

Among the civil and military officials under Cao Ang, who is the most loyal to the Han court and who is the most loyal to the Han family surnamed Liu.

That was undoubtedly Xun Yu and Xun Wenruo.

……

The reason why Xun Yu defected to Cao Ang at the beginning was because he believed that Cao Ang was also a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty and belonged to the same kind of people as himself.

After that, he became more and more determined to stand on Cao Ang's side, made unremitting efforts for the expansion of Cao's family, and exhausted all his loyalty and ability.

In addition to being conquered by Cao Ang's personal charm.

The more important reason is that the Cao family is powerful and extremely promising.

If there is anyone in the world who can restore the Han Dynasty, who can restore the rivers and mountains.

In Xun Yu's view, it was the Cao family.

Therefore, under the premise of the dual monarchy of the Han Dynasty, Xun Yu did not hesitate to pay his loyalty to the Cao family.

But now listen to what Cao Ang said.

Preparing to launch an army to attack Dong Zhuo, welcome back the emperor and officials, and rebuild the court, this is exactly what Xun Yu wanted in his heart and half his life.

How could he not be excited and inspired by it?

After all, Xun Yu, as the chief civil servant of the Department of Internal Affairs, knows the strength of the Cao family better than anyone else.

If the situation in Chang'an is really tense, then with the Cao family's current strength, attacking Dong Zhuo is like picking something out of a pocket!

……

But after some excitement.

Xun Yu quickly calmed down.

After careful chewing, after what Cao Ang said just now, he keenly extracted the key words from it, that is, the last sentence.

"General, what you mean by returning to the old capital, do you mean moving the imperial court back to Luoyang and rebuilding the imperial court's regulations on the ruins of Luoyang?"

Cao Ang nodded slightly.

That's exactly his plan.

It's just that Xun Yu got an affirmative answer.

But he couldn't help but frowned slightly.

After pondering carefully for a while, he bowed his hands to Cao Ang with some hesitation.

"General, please forgive my subordinates for boldly saying that moving the imperial court back to Luoyang may not be the best choice!"

"Although Luoyang is the capital of the Great Han Dynasty, it was ravaged by Dong's bandits. When he was about to go to Chang'an, he set a big fire in the city, burning many palaces to dilapidated ruins, and now there are still wreckage left on the ground. "

"And the most important thing is that with Luoyang as the center, the Heluo land that spreads out is completely empty, and there are not many people at all."

"Without the people as the foundation, even rebuilding the imperial court in Luoyang would be meaningless and extremely difficult!"

……

Xun Yu spoke from the bottom of his heart.

It's just that Cao Ang listened to it.

But just shook his head with a smile.

"Luoyang is dilapidated, but the foundation is still there. It's nothing more than spending some money and time. As long as you can afford the price, you can rebuild it as perfect as before, and even more magnificent than before."

"As for the emptiness in the Heluo area, ten houses and nine empty houses, we just move some people from Yanzhou, Yuzhou and other places."

"Besides, we still have hundreds of thousands of military households under our command. If we move these people collectively, are we afraid that the surrounding area of ​​Luoyang will be empty?"

Speaking of which.

Cao Ang paused for a moment.

Then he patted Xun Yu on the shoulder lightly.

"As you said, Luoyang is the capital of the Han Dynasty, the most benevolent place in the world, and a symbol of the face of the Han Dynasty. I don't know how many people are looking here."

"If we rebuild the imperial court elsewhere after defeating Dong Zhuo, the effect will be far inferior to rebuilding Luoyang and making it known to the world."

"People's hearts are a kind of uncertain thing. When we finish something, we have to let others know, otherwise it means that this thing has not been done."

"One gets twice the result with half the effort, and the other gets twice the result with half the effort. Comparing the two, can Wen Ruo understand why I would rather spend time, money, and face many difficulties than choose Luoyang to rebuild the court?"

……

Xun Yu stopped talking.

A long silence followed.

Until about half a cup of tea.

Xun Wenruo bowed to Cao Ang just now, and then spoke earnestly.

"The general understands deeply, and the subordinates understand!"

"Welcoming the Son of Heaven and all the officials back is an exciting event, and more people should know about it."

"And the emperor is in Luoyang, and the emperor is not in Luoyang, these are two different things."

Seeing that Xun Yu understood what he meant.

Cao Ang immediately smiled heartily.

The hand on the pillar of the gazebo lightly patted the pillar, and immediately solved the initial doubts.

"That's why I keep you from use, so that after the imperial court is rebuilt, you can go directly to Luoyang to become an official, and go to the imperial court to handle a lot of government affairs."

"Not only you, but also Cheng Yu and the others. Even after Yuzhou is stabilized, or our Cao family's foundation expands, then Guo Fengxiao, Xi Zhicai and the others will also be transferred to Luoyang."

"After all, those people in the imperial court, although they are collectively called civil and military officials, but there are good and bad among them. There are not a few of them. They must not be trusted."

"Therefore, we must place our own people among the courtiers, and all of them must be placed in confidential positions. The more such people, the better, so as to ensure that I have the power to decide all matters big and small, and to influence the court situation at any time!"

Cao Ang spoke clearly.

Xun Yu would not have any words of rebuttal.

Even though this plan sounds like there is a tendency to transform into a powerful and powerful minister.

But how can those who really do great things stick to small and regular forms?

If you don't hold power in your hands, then the fruits of your hard work will be used as wedding dresses for others.

Before the great cause is accomplished, it may die halfway, or be stolen by others.

This pedantic approach is absolutely unacceptable.

Therefore, the powerful ministers should be the powerful ministers, and Xun Yu felt that he was willing to work with Cao Ang to bear such a world reputation.

…………

Xun Yu left.

Looking at his distant back.

Cao Ang's eyes were a little deep and unfathomable.

Among the reasons he told Xun Yu before, he still concealed one thing.

Choosing to rebuild the imperial court in Luoyang is not only for the sake of spreading fame and fame in the world.

There is another very important reason.

That is, apart from Luoyang, it is not so suitable to rebuild in other places.

According to the original historical trajectory, his father, Cao Cao, chose to move his capital to Xuchang, which is now Xu County, after welcoming Liu Xie back.

This is not to say that Xuchang's conditions are superior.

It was Cao Cao at that time, of the two prefectures owned by Cao Cao, Yingchuan County was the most important.

Moreover, in the civil servant group under Cao Cao, the Yingchuan faction occupies an absolute majority, forming an overwhelming proportion, and is a force that can influence decisions.

In order to be able to weaken the influence of the imperial court itself, and at the same time control the imperial court under its own control.

Cao Cao chose to move the capital.

And migrate to the core of their own power.

In this way, it also avoids staying in Luoyang at the same time, which may attract the coveted eyes of other parties.

For example, Yuan Shao, who was in Jizhou at the time, was invincible.

Under the superposition of so many factors.

Xuchang has become the best choice.

……

But this situation does not apply now.

Among the civil servants under Cao Ang, although the Yingchuan faction accounts for a high proportion, it is far from crushing the other factions.

On the contrary, choosing to set up a new capital in Yingchuan County will lead to this phenomenon.

Once you choose to set up a new capital anywhere other than Luoyang, especially within your own forces, there will undoubtedly be a large local faction.

This is especially undesirable.

Maintaining balance is an art.

At the same time, in terms of the current world situation.

Yuan Shao in the north was still coming and going with Gongsun Zan, staring at each other, even if he wanted to pull himself out, he couldn't do it at all.

In the south, there was no one who could pose a threat to the Cao family.

And the most important discrete court thus took control.

In Cao Ang's view, this is the easiest thing to do, because he has two trump cards in his hand.

Empress Dowager He and the late emperor Liu Bian.

He doesn't need to welcome back the emperor at all!
Directly choose Luoyang to support the emperor Liu Bian who was abolished by Dong Zhuo to the throne, and re-sit on the throne of the Han emperor, then the influence of the old officials in the Chang'an court will itself be weakened.

Coupled with the little emperor Liu Bian's friendly attitude towards Cao Ang, and the close relationship between Queen Mother He and himself, he can assist from the side.

Cao Ang really didn't know how to lose this power.

So he didn't need to take the risk of sitting in a big internal faction to move the capital.

Just spend money and manpower to rebuild Luoyang.

of course.

There is no need to tell Xun Yu about this.

Otherwise, it will inevitably leave a thorn in my heart.

………………

The next morning.

Perhaps because the environment here is unfamiliar and the bed is not used to, Cao Ang did not sleep for too long, but got up early.

After breakfast.

Dang even planned to lead the civilian and military generals under him, and began to arrange the first step of the plan.

However, when he just arrived at the selected location of the state government office, before he stepped in, he heard a violent coughing sound.

"Cough...cough...cough!"

It's not a mild dry cough like a person's, but a heavy one, as if the gongs and drums are beating violently on the throat and chest.

Even coughing to the back, you can still hear retching.

This made Cao Ang frowned, feeling a little worried for no reason.

You can tell who it is when you hear the coughing sound.

Except for Xi Zhicai, who is the weakest and most seriously ill, there is really no one else to be found.

The cough sounds a little scary to me. Is his physical condition so bad?
If it is a trivial matter if you are incapable of holding an official position due to your physical condition deteriorating.

What Cao Ang was worried about was that it would be a huge loss if a talented person with excellent ability and moral character just sit back and watch him disappear.

thought here.

Cao Ang was not in a hurry to go in either.

Turning around, he asked his bodyguard, Xu Chu, who was a local.

"Zhongkang, do you know if there are any famous doctors with superb medical skills around Qiao County who can treat difficult and miscellaneous diseases and cure coughs and labor diseases well."

……

Xu Chu was stunned for a second.

He replied without thinking: "If the general asked me in the past, then I really don't know very well."

"But half a month ago, Mr. Hua Tuo Hua Yuanhua, a famous doctor who is famous all over the world, returned to his hometown to recuperate, and now he is settled in the city."

"I heard that Mr. Hua Tuo still opens the door to treat patients every day. They are all patients with intractable diseases. There will be a long line in front of Mr. Hua Tuo's house every day. It's just that the patients with intractable diseases are difficult to treat, so it takes time. A long time."

"If there is a need, general, please give me an order, and the general will invite him here!"

while talking.

Xu Chu raised his hand to signal the room.

Apparently he also heard the violent coughing.

And after Xu Chu's voice fell.

Cao Ang did not give instructions immediately.

Instead, he was stunned for a second.

Ok?
Hua Tuo is actually in Qiao County right now? ! !

Good guy, it's really better to hit the sun than to choose the day. When luck comes, all kinds of talents are gathered around, and you don't need to work hard to find it yourself!
……

The reason why Cao Ang never thought of taking the initiative to find Hua Tuo was because he had heard the reputation of this old comrade, and he belonged to the kind of wandering generation.

Shuttle back and forth between Yan, Yu, Qing, Xu and other prefectures, appear in this county this month, and may go to that county next month.

And from time to time, I have to go into the mountains to collect herbs.

In this era of underdeveloped communications, finding such a person whose whereabouts are uncertain is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack, and the difficulty can be imagined.

So Cao Ang didn't waste that effort.

I never thought about it, but today I bumped into it.

Hua Tuo, who was born in Qiao County, actually returned to Qiao County to live temporarily during the period when he led his troops to Qiao County.

This is undoubtedly good news!

Not only can Hua Tuo be invited in the shortest possible time, he can clearly diagnose Xi Zhicai's disease, and then provide certain methods to improve or completely cure it.

At the same time, this also provided an opportunity for Cao Ang.

It is a great opportunity to completely abduct Hua Tuo and transform him into his own royal physician, a famous doctor who can be found anytime and anywhere.

……

Cao Ang himself is physically strong.

Waiting for leisurely disasters, they can't get close to him at all.

But the people around me who can't stand it are all ordinary people, who are born, old, sick, and die, and also suffer from headaches.

Just like the famous seven sons of Jian'an, several of them died of epidemics, and diseases and disasters do not change because of your reputation or the size of your official position.

At most, people with high official positions and high status have good conditions and a good environment, so they can afford better doctors and more expensive medicines.

So at the critical moment.

You can have a top doctor in the world by your side.

This is absolutely capable of turning things around!
In Cao Ang's opinion, it's better not to get sick for those close to him, but if he gets seriously ill, he must be able to find someone who can heal him.

Therefore, Hua Tuo must abduct him!

No matter what, I have to take it to the base camp.

What's more, if such a famous doctor who is famous all over the world is allowed to roam around the world, he can only act as a self-employed person, treating diseases and saving lives.

That would be a bit too wasteful.

With such excellent medical skills, it is better to carry forward with his own help and have a lineage of inheritance.

Isn't that beautiful?

After thinking clearly like this.

Cao Ang immediately said to Xu Chu: "Since Mr. Hua Tuo is well-known all over the world, I should come to invite him personally. This will also show that we are well-mannered."

"Just arrange a few people to watch and see how many people are waiting in line for treatment. When there is a vacancy, come and let me know. I will come to visit myself."

Since the ultimate goal is to abduct Hua Tuo.

Then pay attention to details.

If you come here with your eyes closed, you may only get Hua Tuo's extreme resistance. Even if Cao Ang is tied up with a rope, it may be of no use.

So you have to start small.

After Xu Chu took the order.

Just step back and make arrangements for yourself.
