Three Kingdoms: I, the eldest son of Cao, a loving father of a great man!

Chapter 327 It turns out that you are also an inner ghost, and Lu is not alone! [Dazhang asks for a subscription and asks for a monthly pass]

As long as one of the two emperors is missing.

Eliminate competition.

The civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, as well as the local powerful factions, including major families, had only one option. Except for the deposed emperor Liu Bian, there was no other suitable candidate to be elected as emperor.

Then things will naturally fall into place.

What the Cao family did at that time was to support and elect the former deposed emperor and return to the position of emperor.

And Dong Zhuo forcibly abolished the emperor's usurping behavior by force at the beginning, it was out of reach.

This will not only harm the reputation, but also realize the Cao family's strategic plan and ultimate goal, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

But after Cao Cao nodded to express his understanding.

Cao Ang stared at him with complicated eyes.

After the thoughts in my mind turned slightly, I asked with some hesitation: "Ang'er, what do you mean by letting the West Emperor disappear? Are you planning to take his life secretly after taking Chang'an City?" , Let him die quietly in the military chaos?"

Ask yourself.

If it is possible and there are no other hidden dangers, then Cao Ang really intends to do so.

After all, keeping Liu Xie alive would not only be of no benefit to him, but it might become a landmine that would explode one day when he didn't expect it, causing him a lot of trouble.

But the key is that there will be hidden dangers!

He led a mighty army to Chang'an City, defeated the Xiliang Army led by Dong Zhuo, and occupied the entire Guanzhong area.

However, the final result was that the emperor Liu Xie died unexpectedly, and then the Cao family supported Liu Bian as the emperor. If this combination of punches continues, even if no one can catch the clues of Cao Ang's manipulation, it will definitely lead to Criticism from the government and the public, suspicion from everyone.

After all, if you just doubt, you don't need to look at the evidence, and rumors will never be self-defeating because the evidence is not convincing.

But don't run hard by yourself at that time.

Just because Liu Xie died.

As a result, some corner history books left unfavorable comments on his father and son, and if there was criticism of this matter, it would be unavoidable.

…………

So I listened to my father's inquiry.

Cao Ang couldn't help but spread his hands, then smiled wryly, and said helplessly.

"Father, what's going on? My son is loyal to the Han family. Except for you, no one is more loyal to the Han court and the Han family surnamed Liu than me!"

"Although I am determined to elect the Emperor of the East as the emperor, it does not mean that I will do anything to the Emperor of the West. I do not have any enmity with him. From the beginning to the end, we only had a one-sided relationship on Beiman Mountain. "

"Besides, he is also a bloodline of the late emperor and one of the orthodox Liu surnames. He was forcibly kidnapped by Dong Zhuo when he was young and made a puppet. He is nothing more than a miserable man. How can I do anything to him?"

No one knows loyalty better than me!
At least at this stage, Cao Ang can pat his chest and say this very majestically.

Cao Cao was also convinced by such a detailed explanation, and immediately nodded.

Soon, Cao Ang's next words came to his ears.

"The method I mentioned is mainly to prevent the West Emperor from returning to the Central Plains. As long as he stays away from the core area of ​​our Han Dynasty and loses contact with the officials in the court, then he will be no different from disappearing."

"If you really want to achieve this goal, you still need to think of a proper way. I'm afraid you have to wait until the time when the child arrives in Chang'an, and then make an impromptu decision."

Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief after a full set of explanations.

As long as the lives of the royal bloodline are not harmed.

As for whether he was thrown to Saibei or placed under house arrest in some unknown corner, this is none of Cao Cao's business.

After all, in such a severe environment right now, under the mighty situation of the chaotic world, to keep him alive is already considered the best of humanity.

…………

Seeing his father nodding frequently.

Cao Ang couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart.

In fact, don't look at so many reasons. After all, in Cao Ang's case, it boils down to one point.

That is closeness and distance!
That boy Liu Xie is the son of Liu Hong, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty. No matter how hard he raises him, he can't raise him. How does such an outsider have the right to continue to be the emperor?
On the contrary, Liu Bian is now his own son, and if he supports him to ascend to the throne of Emperor Han, isn't he equivalent to the invisible Supreme Emperor?
Is it still unclear which is more important?

In the next half an hour.

The father and son had a detailed discussion on some situations that might arise after the troops were dispatched, as well as the arrangements before the troops were dispatched.

Finally a decision was made.

That is to change Cao Cao's previous wishes.

He entrusted all military power to Cao Ang, and he took a group of civil servants, leaving 2000 people to stop in Luoyang City after leaving Yanzhou in the west.

In other words.

For this campaign against Dong Zhuo, Cao Ang served as the commander-in-chief of the entire army, with full military power. Cao Ang was also fully responsible for how to break through Chang'an City and receive all the inheritance left by Dong Zhuo.

…………

of course.

Cao Cao was stationed in Luoyang, not to stay there to watch a play, but also to have important tasks.

That is to say, both lines are equally important.

One is to lead one or two thousand regular troops, including a large number of young and strong peasants, to rebuild Luoyang City, not to mention restoring the former glory of the Han capital, at least to ensure certain specifications.

The burned palaces and pavilions in the city before, and the collapsed houses and buildings all need to be repaired.

At the same time, from Yanzhou, Yuzhou and other places, a part of the young and strong population was moved into the Heluo area to enrich the east of Luoyang, which had been ruined.

The population migration plan for the common people also does not need to be overcrowded, as long as the Heluo area is popular and suitable for survival.

After all, too much migration will damage the vitality of the local foundation, which is not conducive to sustainable development.

the above two events.

All require a lot of time and energy.

At the same time, prestige is also needed. People with authority are present to sit in charge. It is necessary for the father and son to stay. So in the case of choosing one of the two, Cao Cao is undoubtedly the more suitable candidate.

And apart from that.

There is one more extremely important thing.

That is, once Cao Cao received the news from Chang'an, that is, from Cao Ang, that Dong Zhuo had been captured and the Western Emperor could not return to the Central Plains, he needed to take immediate action.

In the shortest time, it was announced to the world that the original emperor Liu Bian was still alive and still in Cao Jun's camp, even in Luoyang City.

Thus.

The combination of punches is crisp and neat.

It will not leave too much reaction time for others, and the Luoyang court can be rebuilt logically.

………………

After many matters have been discussed.

The entire Cao family forces acted with extremely high efficiency, and Changyi County was in full swing, and civil servants and military generals were all under orders.

Mobilize soldiers and horses, prepare military supplies, recruit civilians, plan marching routes, and make overall strategic plans.

After a brief finalization.

All the teams that took over the task immediately moved to the west in batches, while Cao Ang personally led the troops of the headquarters and rushed to Dongjun first.

He still needs to pick up a few guys there.

And just when the entire Cao family's administrative machinery began to run with high efficiency, the entire land of Yanzhou was in full swing.

Far away in the city of Chang'an in the long pass.

In an ordinary house located in the middle-level Fang City, which looked very ordinary, no different from the left and right houses, two people unexpectedly met here.

One of them was tall and heroic, and he looked extremely tall and tall. Although he didn't carry any weapons and was only wearing ordinary linen clothes, if you think about it carefully, you can see that this person's identity is not simple.

The other person is a thin scholar.

The whole person's complexion is soft and gloomy, his eyes are like a bottomless cold pool, the sleeves of the black long gown cover his mouth from time to time, and occasionally cough twice.

It can be said that it is quite strange that two people with such obvious differences are gathered in such an inconspicuous house at this moment.

And the subsequent reaction proved all this.

…………

"Li Wenyou?!!"

"How did you get here?"

"Hmph! How did General Lu appear here? Naturally, I used the same method to appear here."

Following the conversation of the two.

Their identities were also quickly revealed.

They were Dong Zhuo's general Lu Bu Lu Fengxian, and Dong Zhuo's chief adviser, Li Ru and Li Wenyou, who were known as the number one think tank of the Xiliang Army.

At this moment, Lu Bu put his right hand into his bosom, and the place where the things were hidden in the skirt of his clothes quickly arched up. It was obvious that Lu Bu had clenched something tightly with his fist.

After doing this.

Lu Bucai frowned, stared at Li Ru with an extremely cold face, and asked unceremoniously.

"In this city of Chang'an, no one knows that you, Li Wenyou, are Dong Gong's confidant. You and I used the same method to appear here. Wouldn't it be ridiculous to tell the world? Is it true that Lu is a fool? "

"What's going on, I'd better explain it quickly, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"

Although Lu Bu's voice was not loud, his tone was extremely firm and full of killing intent.

There is a great deal of Li Ru's answer not satisfying him, and there is a posture of drawing his sword to face each other if he disagrees with him.

…………

And this is what I saw.

After Li Ru secretly scolded "reckless man" in his heart, he explained to Lu Bu just now.

"Chang'an is in chaos now, and anyone with foresight has already seen that the Xiliang army is exhausted and cannot last long."

"Although I am Dong Zhuo's confidant, it doesn't mean that I want to die with him. Can't I choose to live well, so why find another way out and appear here, is there anything strange about it?"

"Besides, maybe Fengxian has forgotten that the messenger General Cao Angcao sent all the way back to Chang'an could not see Dong Zhuo when he arrived in Chang'an. It was I who introduced him on your behalf. Otherwise, how could Dong Zhuo have stayed in Xiwu to enjoy himself? Is Kung Fu talking to you?"

Listening to Li Ru's explanation.

Only then did Lu Bu's expression soften.

After withdrawing his right hand from his bosom, he cupped his fists to Li Ru and said with a smile on the contrary.

"The situation is severe, and we have to act cautiously. Brother Wenyou is no wonder, but I really didn't expect that you and Lu are on the same boat, which is quite surprising!"

Seeing that Lu Bu put away his attacking airs.

Li Ru also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

He then cupped his hands and cupped his fists in return.

Then, while inviting Lu Bu to sit down at the table, he explained in more detail.

"Now that things have happened, there is nothing to hide. I know that General Lu and General Cao are brothers. Now that the Chang'an Building is about to collapse, you will naturally ask General Cao for help."

"But in fact, when I was in Luoyang City, I had some friendship with General Cao, and we agreed that when Dong Zhuo's power could not last long in the future, he would leave a way out for me. Now is the time to fulfill it!"

"I also received news from the Shadow Guard that there was an urgent secret message from Yanzhou, so I concealed my identity and came here secretly."

…………

Lu Bu who said this nodded repeatedly.

The trust in my heart has increased a bit.

Although he didn't know what Cao Ang had agreed with Li Ru, but since he said it so clearly, he thought it was quite credible.

Besides, Lv Bu thought he understood Cao Ang, knowing that his brother was resourceful and a man who took every step to see ten steps.

It is not incomprehensible that he had made friends with Li Ru when he was in Luoyang City, and left such a secret.

"Hahaha! In that case, I really misunderstood Brother Wenyou just now!"

"But when I think that in Chang'an City, it is not only Lv who is providing support, but also a wise person like Brother Wen You, my worries have really gone away a lot, and the chance of success has been greatly increased!"

Li Ru stroked his beard reservedly.

Just when he was about to say something, there was a sudden sound of light footsteps from outside the house, and then he saw a strong young man in linen clothes walking in quickly from outside.

It was Wu'an who passed the news for Cao Ang and shuttled between Yanzhou and Chang'an.

But now this dear friend has been appointed by Wang Yue as the shadow guard deacon stationed in Chang'an for a long time.

"Deacon Wu, Lu received the news from you, saying that there was a secret letter from Yanzhou. I don't know if my brother has any important orders?"

…………

Wu An bowed to the two of them.

After forcing a smile on his face.

Then he returned to his serious look.

He took out a small letter box from his arms, and showed the two of them that it was sealed with wax paint, and that there were no traces of artificial damage or disassembly.

Dang even handed it over.

"Two envoys, my general has a postscript to tell me that after you both read it, you must burn this letter in front of me, so please read it now, and I will be by your side. Wait."

Li Ru and Lu Bu looked at each other.

They didn't say anything, but after nodding each other, they immediately went to the table together and slowly opened the secret letter.

Cao Ang's familiar handwriting soon appeared on it.
