Han family achievements

Chapter 137 Cao Cao's Expedition
The apse of Deyang Hall.

Liu Bian sat on the main seat, flanked by Yang Biao, Huangfusong, Wang Yun, Dong Zhuo, Liu Biao, Xun You, and Zhong Yao.

Opposite them, a soldier in light armor was lying on a back pillow, his face was pale, and there were bloodstains between his legs.

The light-armored soldier said with difficulty: "Your Majesty, the rebel Qiaomao suddenly sent troops to Shanyang County. Mr. Ding was caught off guard and had to retreat to Jiyin County. The rebel also sent letters from Situ and Sikong to various places in Yanzhou. Counties and counties are known as "the side of the Qing Dynasty, eliminating traitors and sycophants". People from Taishan, Jibei, Chenliu, and Jiyin all responded. Ding Shijun ordered the villain to report to His Majesty immediately. The current situation, the villain also does not know."

Yang Biao, Wang Yun, Liu Biao and the others had serious expressions on their faces, and their eyes were filled with apprehension.

Liu Bian nodded calmly and said, "Take him down and let the doctor diagnose and treat him properly."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The light armored soldier raised his trembling hands and said.

After he left, Liu Bian looked at Huangfusong and said, "What do you think of Huangfu Qing's family?"

Huangfusong exuded a coldness, his expression was still, he bowed and said: "Your Majesty, Qiao Mao is the successor of Qiao Xuan, he has always been prestigious, he is false and plotting chaos, unpopular, Wang Shidong advances, and it will be peaceful in a month's time."

Huangfusong's words dissipated the panic in Liu Bian's heart. He glanced at the others and said, "What do you think?"

Yang Biao, Wang Yun, Dong Zhuo and others bowed and did not speak.

They knew very well in their hearts that Qiao was Qiao Mao's clan brother, that Qiao Zheng was killed, and that Qiao Mao's rebellion was not too unexpected.In addition, Qiao Mao is not only closely related to the eunuch party, but also an old official of the Yuan family.

Xun You raised his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the treasury is empty and there is not much left. If you send troops into Yan, I am afraid that you will be limited by money and food."

Zhong Yao looked serious and was also thinking.

The biggest constraint of the Han court was the word 'money and grain'.After he heard that the bridge was reversed, he immediately thought about how to raise money and food, but after much deliberation, he couldn't get together the military pay, money and food needed by the [-] troops.

Wang Yun suddenly raised his hand and said: "Your Majesty, I recommend Gai Xun, the school captain of the city gate, as a mighty general to lead the army to crusade against Qiaomao and pacify Yanzhou."

Liu Bian glanced at him, stood up and said, "I'll think about it again. I'm waiting outside, let's go out."

In Deyang Zhengdian, there are hundreds of people waiting anxiously.

Everyone had no objections, and followed Liu Bian to the main hall of Daodeyang Hall.

After a few steps outside, Liu Bian and Pan Yin said in a low voice, "Let Cao Cao enter the palace."

Pan Yin responded and backed away quietly.

Yang Biao and Huangfu Song heard it, but they turned a deaf ear, as if they didn't hear it at all.

After thirty or so steps, Liu Bian arrived at the side entrance of Deyang Hall.

As soon as he came in, everyone's eyes immediately focused on him. I don't know how many people wanted to open their mouths to ask, but they forcibly held back.

Yanzhou borders Sili. Once the rebels capture Yanzhou, there is no accident, they will take advantage of the trend to attack Sili!
The Han Kingdom is in danger!

Empress Dowager Dong and Empress Dowager He behind the curtain were equally worried, while Liu Xie sat there with a sullen face and forced composure.

After Liu Bian sat down, he looked down at the courtiers, smiled calmly, and said: "I have asked clearly, because the bridge is being punished, the dog jumps over the wall to make trouble. This time, there is no need for Da Sima to take action. I will choose a good general. Yu Keping."

All the courtiers in the hall were silent, but it seemed that the entire Deyang Hall breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Bian looked around and said: "You don't need to worry, everything will be as usual. If you have a year off, you should visit relatives. Have a good year. It's getting late, Zhao Yun, escort your family out of the palace."

"The minister leads the decree." Zhao Yun responded and went out first.

"I'm waiting to retire."

More than a hundred people in the hall raised their hands in unison, without the momentum before, got up one after another, and slowly exited the hall.

Seeing this, the empress dowagers of the two palaces behind the curtain got up and left.

In a blink of an eye, only Liu Bian, Pan Yin, Zuo Li and Dian Wei were left in the hall.

Liu Bian half-closed his eyes, thinking about the affairs of Yanzhou.

It was completely beyond his expectation that Qiao Mao openly rebelled. When his royal conquest had won a complete victory and the court was united, this Qiao Mao was actually dizzy and hypocritical to plot chaos!
Liu Bian sneered, the current him is no longer when he first took over the throne, when he was unarmed, cautious in everything, step by step, and had to be patient.

Standing in front of the steps, Liu Bian stood quietly and stared straight ahead.

The courtiers meandered out of the palace, and it was obvious that they gathered in twos and threes and whispered.

Liu Bian ignored them, looked up at the pitch-black sky, and said, "Zuo Li, touch it, if anyone in Beijing hooks up with Qiao Mao and others, arrest them immediately."

Zuo Li stepped forward in small steps, bowed his body, and whispered cautiously: "Your Majesty, Liu Shangshu, the soldier Cao, is from Yanzhou."

Liu Dai, this is a relative of the emperor.

"It doesn't matter who it is, arrest first and play later." Liu Bian said lightly.

"The villain takes the decree." Zuo Li was overjoyed, his snow-white face still had that respectful look.

Liu Bian thought over and over again in his mind, and said: "Send the decree to Jizhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, and Yuzhou, and order them to prepare for war and stand ready for battle!"

Yanzhou's geographical location is very special, it is connected with five states, besides those four states, the most important thing is Sili Xiaowei Department!
Pan Yin lowered his head and said solemnly: "The villain leads the order!"

After Liu Bian had arranged these, his thoughts turned to the word 'qianliang'.

If you want a large army to go out, you can't do without money and food, but the treasury is now at a time when it is running out of money, and you can't get much out at all.

Liu Bian frowned deeply, thinking hard.

At the same time, Cao Mansion.

Xiahou Dun hurried in from the outside and rushed into Cao Cao's bedroom. Seeing Cao Cao lying on the bed sound asleep, smelling of alcohol, he pulled the servant who was urging him carefully, shook Cao Cao's shoulder vigorously, and said loudly: " Meng De! Meng De! Wake up, Your Majesty hastened to call you into the palace!"

Because Cao Cao failed to enter the palace, he was full of loneliness, and drank alone to get drunk.

36 years old, how many years can I live?

If you ask about your achievements in your life, where is it?
Xiahou Dun swayed left and right, Cao Cao just struggled and couldn't wake up at all.

Xiahou Dun's expression sank, and he said, "Bring the hangover soup, and then some cold water."

Xiahou Dun and Cao Cao simply wore a pair of trousers, except that they couldn't sleep with their wives, there was no difference.

The Cao family didn't take it seriously, so they should make arrangements.

Xiahou Dun couldn't wait, dragged Cao Cao to the bedside, and inserted two big fingers into Cao Cao's mouth.

Wow
Cao Cao's throat was sore and itchy, and he vomited violently.

When Xiahou Dun saw him, he patted him on the back and said anxiously: "Meng De, Meng De, the opportunity has come! Your Majesty calls you into the palace!"

Cao Cao vomited all over the floor, but still didn't wake up, and it was difficult to open his eyes.

Xiahou Dun resisted the strange smell and reached out to insert Cao Cao's throat again.

Cao Cao's body trembled, and he vomited again.

Xiahou Dun patted and screamed, Cao Cao just moaned weakly, opened his eyes a little, but was still not awake.

Xiahou Dun's expression became fierce, and he inserted two fingers into Cao Cao's throat again.

Many times in a row, Cao Cao vomited out his bile, barely regained consciousness, grabbed the window frame with both hands, and said with difficulty: "What are you doing?"

Seeing this, Xiahou Dun squatted next to him, and said in a deep voice, "Meng De, the opportunity has come! Dongjun Taishou bridge has rebelled, and His Majesty summons you into the palace."

Cao Cao was confused at first, but he was stunned when he heard the words, and suddenly his eyes widened, and he tried to sit up with his hands, but his arms were weak, so he threw himself back and lay down there panting hard.

Seeing this, Xiahou Dun helped him up, took the hangover soup, and said, "Xingjiu soup."

Cao Cao opened his mouth and gulped down the drink, his stiff head barely functioning, panting non-stop, and said, "Feng Xiao, where is Feng Xiao?"

Xiahou Dun was taken aback, and said, "That drunkard is more drunk than you, do you want me to wake him up?"

Cao Cao grabbed his arm, his long and narrow eyes glowed brightly, and said, "No need!"

Xiahou Dun looked at his expression, as if he saw the normal Cao Cao, and said, "The angel is still outside, I'll ask someone to prepare hot water for you."

Cao Cao's face became more and more calm. He clasped his hands, feeling some strength, looked outside, and said, "Get two buckets of cold water, and prepare a suit of clothes."

Xiahou Dun nodded heavily, picked him up, and put him on the ground.

Cao Cao walked a few steps, the corners of his eyes twitched, pushed Xiahou Dun away, took a deep breath, barely stood still, raised his face, his expression was as firm as iron, his long and narrow eyes were full of excitement, yearning, apprehension, and pride!

"Let everyone get ready, follow me into Yanzhou, kill the thief and report to the king!" Cao Cao said in a deep voice.

There are many people who are willing to follow Cao Cao, especially the peers and juniors of Cao and Xiahou.

"Okay!" Seeing that Cao Cao had recovered, Xiahou Dun strode out.

The corners of Cao Cao's face were tense, and he struggled to lift his feet.

His mind was still stiff and extraordinarily clear, his body was weak and he felt like he could smash rocks with a punch.

After struggling to move to the door, seeing the two buckets of cold water, Cao took off his shirt and said, "Pour it on me."

The servants peeked at each other and dared not go forward.

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, if these two buckets of cold water are poured on it, people will die!

"I come!"

At this time, a big man with a round face came over, picked up a bucket, and poured it directly over Cao Cao's head.

Cao Cao was shaking wildly all over, but his neck was stuck, his fists were clenched tightly, his eyes were open angrily, his teeth were clenched, and he didn't make a sound.

Xia Houyuan waited for a while, and said, "Should we still water it?"

Cao Cao's eyes were like copper bells, and he said, "It's not enough!"

Without saying a word, Xia Houyuan picked up another bucket and poured it again.

Cao Cao remained motionless, letting the cold water pour over his head and invade his whole body.

Not far away, the Ding sisters came over with towels and quilts.

Cao Cao's wife Ding's eyes were red, she wiped his whole body, and said, "Why are you doing this?"

Another Ding family is Xia Houyuan's wife.

Cao Cao didn't speak, his mind became clearer, and his eyes were calm.After drying his body, he changed his clothes in public at the door, and then said loudly: "I'll go back as soon as I go!"

Xiahoudun, Xiahouyuan's brother, escorted him into the palace.

As soon as they left, Guo Jia from the corner of the wing came out slowly, took a sip of wine, looked at Cao Cao's back, his eyes were like lightning, and said to himself: "What a ruthless person..."

Cao Cao entered the palace late at night, not in the Jiade Hall, nor in the Jingfu Hall, but in the Deyang Hall.

Cao Cao came alone, and saw Liu Bian standing in front of the steps of the gate of Deyang Hall from a distance, looking up at the faint moonlight.

Cao Cao's expression was as usual, and his steps were not in a hurry. He came to the front and saluted: "Cao Cao, see Your Majesty."

Liu Bian didn't move, glanced at him from the corner of his eye, and said calmly, "You know everything?"

Cao Cao raised his hands, lowered his head, and said with firm eyes, "Yes. The governor of Dongjun Qiao pretended to be rebellious and convinced the second lord, and Yanzhou was in chaos."

Liu Bian turned his head slowly, looked directly at him, and said, "I plan to send you there, how sure are you?"

Cao Cao lifted the hem of his clothes, fell to the ground with a plop, and said in a deep voice, "I will surely succeed if I leave here, and I will live up to the grace of the Holy Spirit!"

Liu Bian looked at him quietly, narrowing his eyes slightly, still feeling uneasy in his heart.

He wasn't worried about Cao Cao's ability, but was wondering whether the Cao Cao he had cultivated would be a capable official loyal to the great man or a traitor in the future! ?

For a while, Liu Bian was vigilant and said to himself: "Is it the stereotype of Cao Cao in history, or the inherent suspicion of the superiors?" '

Just for a moment, Liu Bian settled his mind and said: "The imperial court has no money and food, you need to raise it yourself."

"The minister leads the order." Cao Cao said without hesitation.

Liu Bian suddenly showed a smile, stepped forward to help him up, and said, "Get up, and add you as a mighty general. This time, prove it to the government and the public!"

Cao Cao raised his hand, his expression was as iron as steel, and his tone was sonorous, he said: "Cao Cao will definitely live up to God's grace!"

Liu Bian smelled the alcohol in his body, and said: "The [-] soldiers and horses in the Forbidden Army camp have been assembled, and the army is in full swing. Let's set off early tomorrow morning."

Cao Cao's heart was surging, his breathing became short of breath, and he said, "I accept the decree and leave!"

Liu Bian stood there, watching Cao Cao's back. After a while, he suddenly said with a smile to himself, "Prime Minister, let me see your ability."

Pan Yin on the side was startled, and looked around, is Yang Biao here too?

But Huangfusong came out from the darkness, raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, you are ready."

Liu Bian stared at Cao Cao's back, nodded, and said, "Don't worry too much about scabies, the court still has to focus on the new policy."

Huangfusong didn't answer, he was deliberately avoiding government affairs.

After waiting for a while, seeing that Liu Bian hadn't spoken, Huangfu Song said: "Your Majesty, if the bridge is reversed, it will definitely shake the world, and the younger generations will gather together, so we need to plan early."

Liu Bian suddenly looked serious, and said: "The Qing family is right, they want to deter some people with kindness and power. However, speaking of it, the key lies in Cao Cao. Do the Qing family think he can do it?"

Huangfu Song's expression moved, but he hesitated to speak.Although he is optimistic about Cao Cao, Cao Cao has not made any great achievements so far. Instead, he has repeatedly done bad things. The matter of Yanzhou is of great importance, and Huangfusong dare not say so.

Liu Bian glanced at him from the corner of his eye, and said with a smile, "I think he can do it."

Huangfu Song bowed slightly, and said, "I have ordered Gongsun Zan to be ready to go north to support at any time."

Liu Bian hummed, put his hands behind his back calmly, and said, "Actually, it doesn't take such a big battle."

Generally speaking, the Great Han Dynasty is still a giant from the outside, the emperor's authority has not been lost, and his prestige is still high. Now if someone rebels, he is asking for his own death, and he will definitely be torn to pieces!

……

Cao Cao hurried back to the Cao Mansion, and as soon as he entered the door, he met the anxious and expectant eyes of Xiahou Dun, Xiahouyuan brothers and others.

They followed Cao Cao early in the morning, eager to follow Cao Cao to make contributions, become famous in the world, and become prosperous.

Cao Cao's face was calm, and he said: "All together, we will set off early tomorrow morning. You will be divided into Sima and Cavalry Captains."

The Xiahou brothers were overjoyed and wanted to talk, but they saw Cao Cao walking straight to the West Wing courtyard without stopping.

Cao Cao came to Guo Jia's room door, listened to the snoring inside, paused, and suddenly saw that the door was open, his long and narrow eyes flashed, and he pushed the door directly to enter.

When he came to the bed, he saw Guo Jia lying on his side facing out, fast asleep with the jug in his arms. Cao Cao took off his clothes, walked inside, pulled the quilt over, and fell asleep on his back.

Not long after, Cao Cao's snoring also sounded.

At this time, Guo Jia snored continuously, quietly opened a slit of his eyes, and a strange color flashed across his eyes.

The next day, before dawn, Cao Cao woke up and saw that Guo Jia was still asleep, so he tiptoed down again, went out with his clothes in his arms, and stood at the door to wear them.

Xiahou Dun hurriedly looked for him and said, "Meng De, get ready..."

Seeing Cao Cao pressing his hand, Xia Houdun quickly stopped his voice and came closer.

Cao Cao put on his clothes, and said in a low voice: "Feng Xiao is still awake, let's go, and when he wakes up, let the servants tell him that I, Cao Cao, are willing to hire him as an assistant and treat each other wholeheartedly."

"General Zhonglang, let's talk face to face, lest your servants deduct my salary."

As soon as Cao Cao finished speaking, Guo Jia came out and said with a smile.

When Cao Cao heard this, he was overjoyed, and stepped forward and said: "Being obedient and filial piety will never give up, Cao Cao has everything, and filial piety can be taken at will!"

Guo Jia had a drunken look on his face, but he was in high spirits, and said: "Don't be too early to say something, Zhonglang, I have a big appetite."

In Cao Cao's eyes, Guo Jia is now his Zhang Liang, without any hesitation, he said: "If Feng Xiao doesn't believe it, Cao Cao can use written evidence to prove it!"

Seeing Cao Cao's sincerity, Guo Jia refrained from joking, walked out the door, and said, "Is there a decree?"

Cao Cao nodded heavily, and said, "What Feng Xiao said is accurate. Your Majesty ordered me to be a mighty general, leading [-] troops. Feng Xiao, what should I do next?"

Guo Jia was a little surprised that the palace made such a decisive decision.

Just for a moment, he said: "The bridge is in a hurry, don't give him time, the general must be quick, surprise him!"

Cao Cao thought the same way, but Guo Jia immediately said: "We can think of it, and Qiao Mao and others can think of it too, so we have to use some methods to make them take it lightly."

What Cao Cao lacked was a wise planner, and he couldn't wait to ask: "What method?"

Guo Jia took a sip of his wine and said, "Isn't it normal for the road to be blocked by heavy snow in the cold winter?"

Cao Cao realized immediately, took Guo Jia's hand and walked out, saying: "Feng Xiao is really sharp, and he will act according to your plan. I have prepared a carriage for you and laid out the bedding, so you don't have to worry about the bumps."

Guo Jia came alone, without any luggage, and followed Cao Cao out with a smile.

Cao Cao got on his horse, looked back at Guo Jia's carriage, his confidence doubled, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Let's go!"

Holding the spear in his hand, Xia Houyuan shouted loudly: "The mighty general is going out!"

Behind them, there are more than 30 people, all descendants of Cao's family and Xiahou's family.

Cao Cao didn't cover it up, so such a big movement was quickly spread even before dawn.

Cao Cao's expedition to Yanzhou immediately caused countless waves.

Some people were very surprised and uneasy, some people felt bad about the Yanzhou incident, and some even wrote a memorial to impeach Cao Cao anxiously.

There were even people who hurried into the palace, wanting to see Liu Bian, begging him to withdraw his life and replace Cao Cao.
