The first general of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 160 Going to Chang'an
"Gongda doesn't mean that."

Wei Tao smiled, although he didn't say it clearly, but the meaning of the letter was vaguely understood, he hoped that Wei Tao could go to Chang'an.

"Although that Hua Xin intended to take refuge, he obviously wanted to see me. If he really didn't go, I'm afraid he would lose another talented person. What's more, the emperor's order and disobedience are already disobedient to the court. , I didn’t intend to make any great achievements, but only hope that our great Han nation will be safe forever, and this is the ambition to expel the Tartars. If I exhaust my mind on this, then what is the expulsion of the Tartars?”

"This……"

Even Zhou Yu is at a loss for words at this time.

In fact, it's not that Zhou Yu has nothing to persuade, but that he understands that those words can't shake his heart at all. Even if he leaves Chang'an, Wei Tao's goal is to realize his ambition in the future, not for other things.

So even with Zhou Yu's words, I found that there is nothing to persuade.

"If that's the case, how about letting Dian Wei and the others face the saint together?"

Said to be a face saint, in fact, it means to protect Wei Tao comprehensively, but Wei Tao couldn't help but smile.

"Gongjin, Gongjin! Even among thousands of armies, I can come and go freely. Now even Dianwei dare not say that he can defeat me. Why should I do this? People who don't know still think I have something on my mind? Why is this necessary? Let Dianwei and Zilong follow me with five hundred soldiers!"

Although he was not afraid, Wei Tao still listened to Zhou Yu's advice.

"My lord, Jinxin came in and made no contribution, but he won the trust of the lord and awarded him the post of Lieutenant of Diannong. I am deeply grateful for the lord's great kindness."

At this moment, Zhuge Jin said as soon as he cupped his hands.

"The rest of Jin's abilities may be mediocre, but he still has a bit of ability to observe people. How about letting me go to Chang'an with the lord, so that the lord can watch the heroes of the world?"

After thinking about it for a while, Wei Tao nodded. Although Lieutenant Diannong has a lot of power, Zhuge Jin himself is not a well-known figure in the world, so it is not surprising that someone will target him.

If it was Zhou Yu, Wei Tao would never agree anyway.

Although Xun You's letter was fast, the court's actions were not slow. In fact, many affairs had already been prepared, and they were just waiting for the emperor's official decree.

As far as the will is concerned, princes like Wei Tao and Yuan Shao, as well as Liu Biao and other relatives of the Han Dynasty, all complied with the will, talked about the peace of the world, recruited people to Beijing, and talked about past achievements as rewards.

What made Wei Tao sigh was that the person who came to proclaim the decree this time was none other than the prince.

However, unlike the last time when he came alone and quietly, this time he was accompanied by servants on the frame, which was quite imposing.

"According to the edict, Bingzhou Mu Weitao, flattening the yellow scarf, fighting Wuhuan, and expelling the Xiongnu have made outstanding achievements. A special decree is sent to Beijing to show the reward!"

"The minister is called!"

Since Wei Tao had already decided to go to Chang'an, he naturally wouldn't hesitate, and just accepted the order.

"Oh? Master Wei is going to be called?"

After what happened last time, for Wei Tao, Wang Zifu already thought that he was not a loyal man, but his words were a little rude. Hearing that Wei Tao was called, he couldn't help but sarcastically said.

"Since that's the case, how many people will Master Wei want to lead? Could it be that he wants to lead Wanqi under his command?"

"Since he is going to Beijing to meet the saint, how can he do this? Since the imperial decree is issued, Tao only takes five hundred with him."

Hearing Wei Tao's words, Wang Zifu's expression became a little strange.

It's only been a month since the last incident, and it's very normal for Wang Zifu to have a grudge against Wei Tao, but Wei Tao agreed so happily, but it made Wang Zifu unable to see through Wei Tao for a while.

Taking a deep breath, the little hostility on Wang Zifu's face has been put away, and he cupped his hands towards Wei Tao and said.

"General Wei is one of the pillars of my great man, and he may be the one who can protect the sky in the future. I also admire your lord's ambition. However, listen to his words and watch his deeds, and you will see him in the future! "

Wei Tao was taken aback for a moment, and immediately understood.

For people like Wang Zifu, they are really loyal to the big man. As long as it is beneficial to the big man, then personal perception and the like can be put aside.

"Master Wang certainly saw it."

Although he already knew that Wang Zifu was the kind of person who forgets his selfishness because of his work, but Wei Tao's expression was just indifferent.

It is absolutely impossible for such a person to help his own ambitions, and Wei Tao is even more lazy to think about it.

Xun You's letter had already prepared Wei Tao, and now that the imperial decree arrived, Wei Tao was ready to set off, but just as Wei Tao was about to leave, Cao Yuan approached him.

"General."

Biting her lower lip lightly, mustering up her courage, Cao Yuan finally spoke.

"I don't know if the general will take me with him when he goes to Chang'an this time?"

"You want to go to Chang'an with me? This time the journey is quite far, and I didn't prepare any frame, if..."

Wei Tao was a little surprised. After getting in touch with Cao Yuan these days, Wei Tao knew that although she liked martial arts and horseback riding, she actually had a weak personality and was very obedient to many things.

"Besides, going to Chang'an is quite time-consuming. I don't know what's going on with you in Chang'an?"

"I heard that General Cao is now stationed in Chang'an. Since my father has defected to his command, I'm afraid he will go there too. I...I want to meet him and ask him why, why he is so disregarding his family..."

Cao Yuan clenched her fist lightly, as if she wanted to vent all the unwillingness in her heart.

Wei Tao can only be silent about this. Cao Bao was able to control the Xuzhou army in the past precisely because the foundation of his family was in Xiapi.

But once he surrendered to Cao Cao, the situation of his family became extremely difficult.

Although they are both a powerful family, they will not kill the Cao family, but the life of the Cao family is extremely difficult. According to what Mi Zhu who came here a few days ago, the Cao family is now barely surviving by selling their family business. No matter how talented the family is, it is not impossible to lose.

What is even more unbelievable is that Cao Bao has never been seen returning to Xiapi to take his family, which is quite surprising.

Of course, when Mi Zhu came this time, for Cao Yuan's sake, he agreed to support the Cao family on weekdays so that it would not completely decline.

"Okay, you just go to Chang'an with me."

Wei Tao thought for a moment, and then said directly.

"But I have something to say beforehand. You followed me to Bingzhou as Zhen'er's maid. Originally, I planned to welcome you through the door at the same time when Na married Zhen'er. If you change your mind, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Although Wei Tao said this very harshly, Cao Yuan could understand it clearly.

Wei Tao's identity is the lord of a state, but Cao Yuan used to be an unusual maid. Many people already thought that she, like Mi Zhen, would be included in the back house sooner or later. If there is any change at this time, Then Wei Tao, the prefect of the state, will have no face at all. Even if Wei Tao doesn't want to, out of loyalty to the emperor, there may be many Bingzhou soldiers who want to get rid of him.

"The general's great virtue, Yuan will remember it in her heart, and she is willing to repay the general with her body..."

Cao Yuan looks youthful and beautiful, but her inner temperament is extremely soft. She originally blushed when she heard Wei Tao's words, but when she said it herself, her neck became even more rosy.

"Ha ha……"

Seeing Bi Huajiao's beauty, Wei Tao couldn't help but let out a chuckle.

Wang Zifu just thought it was strange that Wei Tao brought one or two more people, but he didn't say anything more.

Because it was accompanied by a carriage, the speed of travel was actually not very fast, but Bingzhou and Sili were adjacent to each other, so it didn't take much effort to get to Chang'an, but it took more than ten days to arrive.

Entering Chang'an, one doesn't see the prosperity of Chang'an, but at a glance, the faces of the residents are all disheveled, and the soldiers passing by on the street from time to time can also tell that the situation in Chang'an is also tense at this time.

"It seems that our arrival is not at the right time, and the chaos of Li Cui and others has not been completely cleared yet!"

Wei Tao said so, but this is just a joke. Although Li Cui and other leaders did not kill them, they are already defeated. As long as Luoyang is controlled, they will definitely not fight because of the lack of food and grass.

"General Wei is stationed here, and I have to go to the palace to report to His Majesty."

Wei Tao basically rushed here as soon as he received the imperial decree, and his loyalty can already be seen. The last time he was indeed unable to go out because of insufficient troops, so although Wang Zifu was still unwilling to have a deep talk with Wei Tao this way, he did not deliberately target him. .

Naturally, Wei Tao had everything to do, but after he was stationed, Wei Tao immediately ordered Zhao Yun to go to get the army rations. After arriving in Chang'an, the rations were provided by Chang'an.

And Wei Tao ordered Dianwei to be in charge of the affairs of the camp, but he left quietly.

Wei Tao was going to visit Hua Xin. After the briefing, he saw Xun You and a man with a beautiful beard coming out on foot. Seeing that it was indeed Wei Tao, Xun You walked quickly to Wei Tao.

"My lord, why are you here?"

When he saw Wei Tao coming, Xun You was very surprised. Apparently he did not expect that Wei Tao would arrive so early, but after the surprise, his eyes still flashed a bit of joy, and then he turned his body Jean, revealing a person behind him, said to Wei Tao.

"My lord, this is Hua Xin Hua Ziyu. You talked with him recently and found that Ziyu's talent is better than fame, especially the way of governance is beyond your reach. I hope my lord will pay more attention to it."

The last sentence was said softly by Xun You, only Wei Tao heard it.

Although Xun You is not arrogant, he is magnanimous and magnanimous, but he will not promote people here at will, which shows that this Hua Xin is indeed talented and learned.

At this moment, Hua Xin took two steps forward and saluted Wei Tao.

"Hua Xin met General Wei, and it was only then that what Gongda said was true. Although Hua Xin is proficient in writing, how can he compare with Gongda, especially the tricks of Gongda, which make Hua Xin admire."
