The first general of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 41 Re-entry to Luoyang
"Young Master, the Yellow Turban Dao is nothing special, is it? Is it worth doing this for you?"

These days, Wei Tao took Dian Wei and Zhang Liao back and forth to investigate the matter of the Yellow Turban Road. Maybe Zhang Liao could still feel something, but Dian Wei didn't have this feeling, so he just said it.

"If you have this time, why don't you spend more time with my mother and the others at home!"

Originally, Dian Wei had already arranged his own affairs before the murder.

But since it was Wei Tao who took over the matter later, his family members naturally didn't have to hide so much, and were directly taken to the Wei family.

Of course Dian Wei didn't really complain about anything.

After all, Wei Tao treats him well, and Dian Wei is a loyal and grateful person, so naturally he will not do anything because of this.

It's just that Dian Wei himself is impatient with these small things, and he has been in contact with Wei Tao a lot, and knows Wei Tao's temperament, so when he feels impatient, he speaks out very bluntly.

"Young Master, you always say that the Yellow Turban Way is very dangerous, but you have seen it these days. In fact, it is nothing at all. Except for people who can't even eat, there are a few who will believe in it."

In fact, not only Dian Wei, but also Zhang Liao couldn't help but nodded.

Regarding the thoughts of these two people, Wei Tao could only smile wryly.

Zhang Liao's family background is not that of the poor and the people naturally don't know what the people think. As for Dian Wei, although his family background is mediocre, but with Dian Wei's courage, it is not difficult to support his own family.

Wei Tao believes that many people can see the hidden worry of the big man.

But those people at most think that it is some riots and rebellion, as long as the court has capable people to send troops, it can be easily put down.

In fact, this is almost the case, but the weakness of the Han Dynasty was exposed when the Yellow Turban Rebellion was quelled, and then the situation of melee among the princes gradually opened up.

Fortunately, Wei Tao understood that the purpose of the Yellow Turbans was never to prevent the Yellow Turbans from happening.

With the current situation in the world, Wei Tao is powerless to stop it. Wei Tao just wants to understand the situation of the Yellow Turban as much as possible so that he can protect himself when the world is in turmoil.

It's a pity that understanding is understanding, but Wei Tao doesn't know what he can do. He can only increase his military strength as much as possible.

But at this time, one thing messed up Wei Tao's plan.

The court call-up order has arrived.

But this time, quite a few recruited Wei Tao as an official, and Wei Tao was recruited into the Taixue.

"Why did the imperial court still specially call me to enter the Taixue?"

Wei Tao was still very puzzled at first, but he got an answer soon.

This matter still happened to Ding Yuan. Ding Yuan promoted Xiaolian for Wei Tao. You must know that promoting Xiaolian is actually for the imperial court to recommend talents to make them officials.

If it was a different person, recommended by Ding Yuan, he would definitely be able to be used by the imperial court.

But you have to know how old Wei Tao is at this time?
In the eyes of many people, Wei Tao is just a boy and a half, how can he enter the imperial court as an official, it is naturally not allowed.

However, Ding Yuan's move to Wei Tao is also great filial piety. If this kind of filial piety cannot be advocated, then it would be ridiculous to promote filial piety.

Under such circumstances, someone was going to play to Liu Hong, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty. Since Wei Tao was still young, he could be allowed to study in Taixue, and then serve the country after a few years.

Liu Hong was not a wise and mighty emperor in the first place, so he naturally had nothing to do with Wei Tao's affairs.

But the influence of Chen Liuwei's family made Liu Hong finally make this decree. With the strength of Chen Liuwei's family and Wei Tao as an official, it is necessary to pay enough money.

That's why Wei Tao received this order.

"This is really..."

Wei Tao was a little dumbfounded. He knew that Emperor Han Ling was very stupid. He didn't expect that he still had such investment awareness. He had calculated it long ago.

Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty Liu Hong loved money very much, so Shi Changshi came up with various ways to make money for Liu Hong.

One of them is that all officials have to pay a sum of money to be able to become officials and be promoted. Even if Emperor Hanling himself likes an official, then he can be reduced or exempted.

If you really can't pay, then you can only go back to your hometown.

Anyway, from Wei Tao's point of view, Liu Hong's purpose is to give Wei Tao money if he wants to become an official.

But this decree cannot be refused. After learning about this, Wei Hong ordered Wei Tao to rush to Luoyang only the next day.

With his father's order, Wei Tao naturally had no choice but to leave. This time he was going to Luoyang to study, so there were not many people following Wei Tao, but Dian Wei and Zhang Liao both followed Wei Tao.

"Unexpectedly, I will come back in just a few years!"

Looking at the tall city walls of Luoyang, Wei Tao felt somewhat moved.

Wei Tao also knew that He Jin had become more and more powerful in the past few years, but when he returned to Luoyang, Wei Tao would no longer be afraid.

After all, Wei Tao only taught those who offended him, but he didn't really offend He Jin himself, so no matter what he said, several years had passed, and He Jin naturally couldn't come to trouble Wei Tao again.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

At this moment, there was a carriage coming from behind.

He didn't know Guanxiao when he arrived in Luoyang. Wei Tao, who had suffered once, didn't want to suffer a second time, so Wei Tao led others to avoid it.

"This birdman!"

When the frame passed by, Dian Wei spat heavily in dissatisfaction.

If Wei Tao hadn't pulled him away just now, Dian Wei would never have given way.

"Shut up, this is Steward He's carriage, even the officials have to give way, why bother you, these outsiders!"

A familiar person next to him spoke.

It's just that this result really surprised Wei Tao. He really didn't expect that a housekeeper of He Jin could do this. It can be seen how powerful He Jin is now.

Cao Cao has been an official in Luoyang for the past few years. When Wei Tao arrived, Cao Cao had already been waiting at home for a long time.

"Zi Yu is too good!"

"Brother Mengde!"

Although we haven't seen each other for several years, the close relationship between Cao Cao and Wei Tao has not deteriorated at all, and they greeted them outside the door early.

"I heard that you have made great achievements in fighting in the frontier these years. Since Mr. Ding appreciates you, why don't you continue to be an official?"

Cao Cao said so as soon as he opened his mouth, but such words should not be spoken outright unless he is a close person.

"But now that the court is dark, even being an official may not be able to show his ambitions, and it may not be a good thing to do it unintentionally."

Cao Cao was still persuading Wei Tao in the last sentence, but the next sentence seemed a little discouraged.

This is not like Cao Cao.

"Brother Mengde, why is this so? I have seen it in the border area. Even with the bravery of the Huns, I still fear the majesty of my great man. Why should I be so discouraged?"

"Heh, in the past few years, I thought that my own ability could be used by the country. What a pity! All my proposals are like nonsense, and no one will pay attention to them. I occasionally pass one or two, but in the end it is nothing more than collecting money for the eunuch way."

Cao Cao shook his head very depressed.

"Could it be that there is no one in the court who can compete with eunuchs?"

Seeing this, Wei Tao couldn't help asking. It is true that the eunuch's strength has developed very well under the control of the 'Ten Attendants', but it is impossible to make people irresistible.

"If the ministers of the court can unite with He Shizhong, they can naturally resist the eunuchs, but the ministers of the court regard their relatives and eunuchs as one party, so how can they unite with them?"

Cao Cao sighed again.

He Shizhong is He Jin, and He Jin was born as a butcher, so he is naturally looked down upon by the aristocratic family. Even if there is an occasional alliance, the words are still superior.

This naturally made He Jin angry, and instead joined forces with the eunuch.

Under such circumstances, although there are juniors like Cao Cao running back and forth, the contradictions between the two parties are irreconcilable.

"Let's not talk about these depressing things. The two followers behind me, brother Xian, seem to be very human. Could you tell me?"

Cao Cao is an open-minded person by nature, and soon said with a smile.

Both Zhang Liao and Dian Wei are very human beings, and they have been valued by Cao Cao in history. Naturally, Wei Tao will not hide anything when he brings them by his side this time.

As for the fear of Cao Cao's 'robbing' people, not to mention that if Wei Tao helps them in the future, they will not be able to hide it. Just because of the relationship between Wei Tao and Cao Cao, there is absolutely no reason to win people in private.

So Wei Tao pointed at Zhang Liao very seriously.

"This is Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan. His martial arts skills are not inferior to mine, and he also has a strategy. During the trip to the northern border, I was able to govern Mayi in a short time. Thanks to Wen Yuan's help, Wen Yuan has the talent to command the army .”

"Ziyu is a rare general, and Wen Yuan has this ability? If so, Ziyu can be said to be even more powerful!"

Sure enough, Cao Cao was surprised when he heard this, and Wei Tao pointed at Dian Wei.

"This is from my hometown, Chenliuji, but I have recently met Haoyong. He is extremely courageous, and his arms are extremely strong. I have personally seen his ability to divide two bulls."

What Wei Tao said was what happened when he was exploring the way of the Yellow Turban.

"To have such courage, he really is a warrior, and he can be regarded as an ancient evil!"

Dian Wei's ferocious face is usually disliked by ordinary people, but Cao Cao is a person who does not judge superiority by appearance, on the contrary, he admires it very much.

"With the help of these two people, Ziyu can finally realize his ambition to restore his ancestor Wei Qing, and I can congratulate Ziyu again!"

Today's Cao Cao is still a heroic prince in the future, and he didn't even intend to recruit his subordinates for himself at this time, so although he boasted about Zhang Liao and Zhang Liao, he was actually happy for Wei Tao in his words.

This is Cao Cao today.

"Brother Meng De, why is this so? I remember my elder brother once said: The ambition of this life is to conquer the West. Now that the ambition is ahead, I am more willing to assist Brother Meng De. Why are you so unhappy?"

Wei Tao still felt something was wrong. He always felt that Cao Cao had something on his mind today, and at the same time, he felt that he had made up his mind.
