Three Kingdoms: From Yinlin to Great Wei Xiongzhu

Chapter 203 Those who oppose Lao Tzu must die!
Tread!

The sound of solid and heavy footsteps sounded in Changle Palace...

Cao Cao stepped into it together with Xi Zhicai and Xun You.

It was still a ruined palace, but... Hundreds of officials were lined up on both sides, and the emperor Liu Xie sat on the dilapidated dragon chair. He opened his eyes wide and looked at the minister who rescued him.

step... step!

After a few more steps, Cao Cao walked to the middle, knelt down and cupped his hands.

"My lord, Yanzhou Shepherd Cao Cao, kowtow to my emperor!"

Kowtowing three times, Cao Cao tried his best to be a minister. He wanted to show the Han Dynasty that he was different from Dong Zhuo, Li Jue and Guo Si. He was a Han minister!He is a "loyal" minister!

Take a few steps forward, kowtow again, and worship again!

The atmosphere of the entire Changle Palace is extraordinarily quiet and solemn...

Standing up, Cao Cao walked in front of the emperor, kowtowed at last, and bowed again and again, a total of three kowtows and nine kowtows!

Not only Cao Cao, even Xi Zhicai and Xun You who came with Cao Cao also knelt down and saluted. Everyone in Cao Ying respected His Majesty very much.

"Cao... General Cao? Are you the Yanzhou Shepherd Cao Cao invited by Dong Guozhang?" Seeing Cao Cao being treated so courteously, Emperor Liu Xie had tears in his eyes... "See you loyal minister in... trouble!"

Cao Cao didn't say a word, but knelt down, kneeling respectfully, kneeling solemnly.

He is a natural actor, and he will not get up without the emperor's order.

"Aiqing...Aiqing is alive."

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Cao Cao cupped his hands, saying a word, Cao Cao kowtowed again before getting up.

He turned his head slightly, and Xi Zhicai behind him hurriedly handed over the wooden box he was holding to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao, with his head down, walked up the steps step by step with the wooden box in his hands, one step... one step, every time he took a step, he felt that the great cause in his heart was one step closer.

Finally, after climbing the steps, Cao Cao half-kneeled and presented the wooden box in front of the emperor.

"Your Majesty, please!"

Is this a tribute?
Liu Xie was very touched. At this time, he still...still thinking about the rules of the big man, the rules of foreign ministers paying tribute to the emperor, loyal ministers, loyal ministers!
"Aiqing, what is this?" Liu Xie's voice trembled.

"Your Majesty, please lift the lid, and you will know it at a glance!" Cao Cao's voice is still majestic, but there is a little respect in the majestic, which is the respect for the Han Dynasty for more than 400 years, and the respect for such a supreme existence as the Son of Heaven.

"it is good…"

The emperor Liu Xie slowly opened the lid. He thought it was a jade seal, a rare treasure, but he didn't expect that what caught his eyes... turned out to be dough floating in the water one by one!

No, not a mere dough…

Rather, a bowl of soup with dough in the shape of an ear.

The emperor Liu Xie was still puzzled, so Cao Cao spoke up.

"Your Majesty, try it, this is freshly cooked dumpling soup!"

This is out of the way...

A mellow smell of mutton and the fragrance of fresh medicine came to the nostrils.

The emperor Liu Xie couldn't help it anymore, he couldn't help but picked up the soup spoon to fill out a "dumpling", and put it in his mouth with the soup.

After eating the dumplings, the aroma of mutton and herbs not only warmed the emperor's stomach, but also warmed his heart!
tears like rain...

What about prestige?The majesty of the emperor disappeared at this moment.

The majestic emperor could not cry because of a bowl of soup and a dumpling. If he hadn't been wearing a dragon robe, who would associate the boy in front of him with the tall and stalwart emperor?

This is clearly a beggar who came to the Central Plains from Sansuke!

"Cao Aiqing, I... I haven't eaten meat for a year, and I almost forgot what meat tastes like!"

Emperor Liu Xie blurted out this...

Cao Cao exhaled deeply in his heart, why didn't his heart throb?

"Your Majesty, please taste it slowly!"

Cao Cao placed the wooden box on the dragon case, turned around, and waved... Dozens of soldiers outside the door were carrying wooden barrels one after another, and bowls and chopsticks walked in...

Start serving dumplings for this group of Han courtiers who "have gone through vicissitudes"!
The big guy is already hungry... the big guy is salivating!

"Finally something to eat..."

"Finally able to eat..."

"give me…"

"Come, come, give me some more!"

At this moment... Tianzi gobbled it up, even... he didn't even bother to use a spoon to fill out the dumplings, he just grabbed them with his hands, the hot dumplings were warm...

Hundreds of officials are also devouring, the entire Changle Palace, where is there any majesty of the Han court?

Where is the image of the Great Han Dynasty Hall!

When these people... ate and slept in the wind, and ate wild vegetables and bark for several months along the way...

In their hearts, isn't it the meat that they yearn for the most?
"My lords, please eat!" Cao Cao said loudly... "You're welcome, there are more, there are more!"

What a pity...

Cao Cao couldn't help murmuring in his heart, what a pity!

But then again, if they were not pitiful, how would Cao Cao have the chance to welcome the emperor?
...

"It's been a year, a whole year!" Emperor Liu Xie couldn't help but sigh: "I... I finally got meat, or... still such delicious dumplings! Cao Aiqing, you are a loyal minister, are you a loyal minister? where!"

Long drought meets sweet dew...

The end of all hardships has come!

After eating a bowl of dumplings, Liu Xie couldn't help thinking about it...

Cao Cao, Cao Zhoumu, General Cao?Could it be him... Could it be the turning point that the big man has gone all the way to revival?
Will do…

Most definitely!
The warmer his stomach was, the stronger this thought became, and for a moment... he had an incredible trust in Cao Cao.

after all…

From Dong Zhuo to Li Jue, Guo Si... There has never been a prince who respects him so much, and no prince has personally delivered this delicious dumpling to the mouth of the emperor!
At this moment, the corners of Emperor Liu Xie's eyes were filled with tears, and countless tears had already filled his eyes...

soon…

But time for a cup of tea!
Those Han Dynasty officials heard... when they heard that there was meat in Changle Palace!
The whole city of Luoyang was boiling, and they didn't care about elegance or etiquette, and they flocked like down-and-out beggars!

Ha ha…

In the face of hunger and hunger, loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and faith are all unimportant. At this moment, even if it is for a bowl of dumplings, they can rub their faces on the ground hard.

On the other hand, Cao Cao is extraordinarily generous...

He was extremely polite to every courtier.

This dumpling is always open to anyone who comes, give as much as you want!

Of course...Cao Cao was also very surprised, the feathers are gone, the Longxiao battalion is gone, it turns out...long before they sent troops, the Longxiao battalion began to transport mutton and herbs to Luoyang, the so-called soldiers and horses did not move Grain first.

Hehe...Cao Cao never dreamed that this time he was close to the court, but...it was because of these dumplings. Speaking of it, it is really ironic!

call…

Watching the court officials begging for bowls of dumplings, Cao Cao let out a long breath, it seems... the next task is much simpler.

Take the emperor out of Luoyang City!

Of course, it's not easy...Because there are three forces stationed near Luoyang: Yang Feng, Han Xian, and Zhang Yang.

at this time…

"Cao Xiu, Deputy Commander of the Longxiao Battalion, pays a visit to Duke Cao!"

A voice came from beside Cao Cao...

Cao Cao raised his eyes, but the person in front of him was not his nephew Cao Xiu, who else could it be.

Seeing Cao Xiu, Cao Cao's mood was very bright. He walked to Cao Xiu's side, helped him dust off his body, helped him tidy up his sleeves, and then patted him on the shoulder.

"Wen Lie, well done! This pot of dumplings is cooked well, and it's wonderful! This time... to welcome the emperor, your Longxiao camp is the first!"

Cao Cao did not hesitate to praise himself!

"Uncle, my nephew just obeyed Mr. Lu's military order." Cao Xiu was honest and didn't hide anything. "Young Master Lu said, after entering Luoyang, leave the battle to Uncle, and he will be invincible. Our Longxiao Battalion only needs to do a good job of logistics support, and we will be sure to welcome the emperor!"

Huo…

What a logistical support!
Cao Cao was taken aback for a moment. He broke Runan in ten days and arrived in Luoyang in five days. That's all... it's just logistical support. Your Longxiao Battalion is going your own way, leaving other legions with nowhere to go!
"Hahaha…"

Cao Cao laughed, and then patted Cao Xiu on the shoulder again.

"Next, we have to find a way to get the emperor out of Luoyang City from the siege of those three warlords! Does your son have anything to say?"

While speaking, Cao Cao narrowed his eyes slightly...

He was curious, what other tasks did Lu Yu entrust to Long Xiaoying?
Hearing this, Cao Xiu bowed his hands: "My son mentioned this, but...he seems to have mentioned it with Cao Gong, these four warlords are not difficult to deal with!"

Cao Cao paused slightly...

The three warlords he was talking about were Han Xian, Yang Feng, and Zhang Yang!
There is another Dong Cheng mentioned in Cao Xiu's mouth!
Now, a bowl of dumplings can handle the weakest Dong Cheng...

What comes next is the real challenge.

Cao Cao frowned slightly, and in an instant, he recalled, it seemed... that he and Lu Yu had indeed discussed these four warlords before coming here, and each of them had their own weaknesses, and Yu'er knew everything about them!
Even... Before that, Cao Cao acted according to plan to get to this step.

For example, Yang Feng...

Yu'er mentioned that this person is brave, but simple-minded, and he does things according to his preferences, so... Cao Cao pretended to flatter him and formed an alliance with him, which made him feel smug!
Give him an illusion that Yang Feng is the real boss, and Cao Cao is a "worker, the soul of a worker".

Only in this way can we successfully reach Luoyang City, the center of power.

Another example, Dong Cheng...

Dong Cheng is the weakest, but he is loyal to the emperor. He needs Cao Cao's help so much, so... a bowl of dumplings can make him feel good.

The next thing to deal with is Han Siam and Zhang Yang.

Cao Cao remembered that Yu'er had mentioned Zhang Yang. This person had a wicked heart but no guts. To put it bluntly, he was timid. Other than that...

He also has a weakness - kindness!
At that time... Yu'er also specifically gave an example, Zhang Yang accepted Lu Bu twice, but let him go twice, instead of being angry, he gave him food and grass, so it can be seen... this person is so kind that he is almost pedantic!

If you follow this personality trait.

Ha ha…

Cao Cao grinned, he could have issued an edict to Zhang Yang in the name of the Son of Heaven, Chen Tianzi did not want to see the suffering of the war in Luoyang, so he bestowed Zhang Yang with a very high official title to appease...

In this way, he will not prevent Sheng Jia from going south!

Because of that benevolent character, naturally he would not fight Cao Cao and make the emperor and the people sad.

So... finally... it's Han Siam!

Yu'er's evaluation of him is the remnant of the Yellow Turban, who is as fierce as a tiger with a favorable wind and as a white rabbit with a negative wind. As long as the other three forces stand on Cao Cao's side, they can swallow him in one go.

What's more, Cao Cao also needs a victory to establish authority among the four warlords and the court.

Thinking of this...

"Miaocai..." Cao Cao shouted immediately.

"Brother!" Xia Houyuan took a step forward.

"I'll fix a book right away, and you will give it to General Yang Feng for me!"

Cao Cao's tone became solemn, dealing with Yang Feng, this is flattery!

"Here!" Xia Houyuan was about to prepare his pen and ink...

"Wait!" Cao Cao yelled to stop him. "Also, it's not too late for Miaocai to do it after listening!"

…Xia Houyuan paused.

Cao Cao's voice came out one after another. "In addition, General Dong Cheng is invited to come to our Cao Ying to have a talk..."

This is to appease Dong Cheng, and even ask the emperor through Dong Cheng for an edict to seal Zhang Yang, Chen Tianzi does not want to see the meaning of life.

This is a combination of vertical and horizontal.

"Oh..." Xia Houyuan nodded.

I don't know, there are more words behind Cao Cao. "Miaocai, the last task is the most important. You have always marched very fast. Now that our army has just arrived in Luoyang City, Han Xian would never have thought that we would surprise him!"

"You send troops tonight, and launch a general attack on his camp at dawn tomorrow! Han Xian was born in the Yellow Turban, and most of his subordinates are Yellow Turban bandits. It is not difficult to deal with, just a surprise attack... half a day to break!"

Huo... Ganqing, the most important task is at the end!

"Ha ha ha ha…"

Hearing this, Xiahouyuan laughed out loud. He originally dismissed Li Jue because of Xiahoudun's third battalion, leaving his fourth battalion in disgrace. Now that there is such an extra task, how can he not be excited?
"The last general takes orders!" Xia Houyuan bowed his hands and retreated!
"Dr. Cao... Longxiao Battalion invites you to fight!" Cao Xiu cupped his hands and asked to fight...

When they heard about this meritorious service, Cao Xiu and Long Xiaoying were also eager to try.

What's more... Xia Houyuan is certainly fast, but how can he, Cao Xiu, "Thousand Li Horse" get his name in vain?

"Haha..." Cao Cao smiled and waved his hands lightly. "Wen Lie, do you know why your Young Master Lu didn't arrange for the Long Xiao Battalion to attack Han Xian? Why did your son specifically propose that your Long Xiao Battalion be responsible for the logistics support after entering Luoyang?"

"This...why?" Cao Xiu asked back...

"Haha, this time we are going west to Luoyang to welcome the emperor! Your Longxiao battalion has made outstanding achievements, and it is time to pass some of the credit to the soldiers of the other battalions! The so-called big tree attracts wind, this kind of worldly wisdom, you need to pay more attention to your son. Learn!"

"Ha ha ha ha…"

Cao Cao backed away while laughing!

Hmm... sophistication?
Cao Xiu was taken aback, he hadn't figured it out until now, the merits of the Longxiao Battalion depended on their ability?

Neither stealing nor robbing, what does it mean to be so worldly?

Can you grab it?Why do you have to let it go?
...

...

To the west of Luoyang City, Cao Jun's camp.

Dong Cheng just walked out of the camp. He came with his followers. At this moment...his mood is rather complicated.

As for the reason, Cao Cao mentioned something to him and moved the capital to Xu County.

Speaking of it...Xu County is not far from Luoyang. Now Luoyang is devastated, and it is extremely difficult to rebuild...It is indeed not suitable to be an imperial capital.

Cao Cao chose the nearest Xu County, which can be regarded as Cao Cao's intentions.

In addition, Cao Cao offered to recommend Dong Cheng as the "General of the World's Soldiers and Horses...", and was even willing to hand over his soldiers and horses to Dong Cheng so that he could help the Han Dynasty!
Dong Cheng naturally didn't dare to accept it, but... Cao Cao's attitude made him quite moved!

"Is the general supporting Cao Cao's move to move the capital?"

asked one of the generals.

"Otherwise?" Dong Chengyi waved his hand... "Our power is the weakest, we can't stand a fight... Now Cao Mengde has put on a very low profile again, he is testing us!"

"If so...we don't unite with him, I'm afraid we will be the first ones to be unlucky!"

"What's more, during the conversation with Cao Cao, the old man can feel that Cao Cao is different from Dong Zhuo, Li Jue, Guo Si and others. Perhaps, the emperor can live a good life by his side! Maybe he can!"

Speaking of this, Dong Cheng paused, "Besides, Cao Cao promised me that he would help my daughter compete for the position of queen, haha..."

With a strand of beard, Dong Cheng suddenly straightened his back and posed.

"If my daughter succeeds in assuming the throne, she will be the Empress of the Great Han Dynasty, then I, Dong Cheng, will be worthy of the name of the head of the country. As long as Cao Cao is able to help the Han family, there is no need for the head of the country to oppose him!"

"Besides, the old man is getting old. Let the young people do the fighting and killing in the future!"

In a word, Dong Cheng raised his head slightly. At this moment... he began to imagine the future of a big man...

And, more importantly——

——The glory of their Dong family in the future!

...

...

Luoyang City, south of the city.

Yang Feng's army...

"Hahaha..." Yang Feng laughed heartily. "Cao Cao is self-aware! Look...he sends three letters a day, each of which is asking me to go to the court to preside over the overall situation! Hahaha..."

Yang Feng held a bamboo slip in his hand, a bamboo slip sent by Cao Cao.

The content of the bamboo slips lifted Yang Feng to the sky.

Cao Cao emphasized again and again that if the Han court collapsed, it would be General Yang who was in charge of the overall situation if the Han court collapsed.

Cao Cao even stated that he had already written to the emperor, asking the emperor to add General Yang as the "General of the World's Soldiers and Horses"!
The position of great general, this is the official title that He Jin once had, with one person under ten thousand and above, whoever heard it would not feel complacent?

"Hahaha…"

Yang Feng sighed in his heart, it seems good to have such an alliance as Cao Cao!
"Haha, Cao Mengde said that the surnamed Han refused to obey the emperor? He refused to obey discipline, hehe, this general would have found out a long time ago, if it wasn't for the lack of foreign aid, this general would have attacked him a long time ago, and now is just right!"

Yang Feng's eyes narrowed slightly, and for a moment, he had murderous intentions towards Han Xian...

"Where is General Xu?"

"The last general is here!" A majestic general wearing a blue cloth cap stepped out.

Yang Feng continued to order: "General Xu, Cao Cao will send people to raid the Han Siam army camp tonight, you send troops to help him!"

"Here..." Xu Huang took the order to retreat.

Yang Feng's eyes flashed with a bit of awe-inspiring murderous intent.

He muttered to himself, now, I have strong support!

Han Siam, Zhang Yang, Dong Cheng...

Hmph, anyone who opposes me along the way will die!
