The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 211 Dedication to the Emperor
Early the next morning, Zhang Xiu personally went to Li Yuan and explained his intention of submitting. Li Yuan was very happy when he learned about it. Then he went back to the barracks to reply to Zhang Ji.

A few days later, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's armies dispatched separately. Yuan Shao led the army to Liang Guo to arrest Yang Feng, while Cao Cao led the troops to raid Han Siam's camp. Cao Cao was prepared to attack him now, and he was defeated in no time.

Dong Cheng saw that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao had already attacked, but Li Yuan did not move at all, so he couldn't help being a little surprised. He went to Li Yuan and asked, "General Li, now that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao have already dispatched, why didn't you dispatch an army to deal with Zhang Ji?"

"Hahahaha, Uncle Guo, to be honest, Zhang Jicong's son Zhang Xiu is my senior brother, and he has a very good relationship with me. I have persuaded them to go to Xiapi with me a few days ago, which means that they will not have any more affection for His Majesty." Threat." Li Yuan smiled.

"What, persuade them to go to Xiapi?" Dong Cheng's face changed several times in a row, and he couldn't accept this fact for a while. If it was true, then Li Yuan would subdue Zhang Ji and his subordinates without a single soldier. There are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, no wonder Li Yuan chose to deal with Zhang Ji instead of other people. This method is really clever.

"Besides, I also want to take His Majesty to Xiapi, and I hope Uncle Guo can persuade His Majesty." The real purpose of Li Yuan's trip is this.

Dong Cheng was not so surprised this time, and his reaction was also expected by Li Yuan, because Li Yuan knew that Cao Cao should have talked to Dong Cheng about this a few days ago, but Cao Cao wanted to take Chen Liu to him, and he would It is to take Emperor Xian to Xiapi.

"I'm afraid this is a bit inappropriate." Dong Cheng's expression turned pale.

"Uncle Guo, we Ming people don't speak dark words. Is Cao Cao also planning to take His Majesty to Chenliu?" Li Yuan showed a playful smile and fixed his eyes on Dong Cheng.

"How do you know..." Dong Cheng looked at Li Yuan in disbelief, because this was a secret discussion between him and Cao Cao, and it was impossible for others to know.

"Uncle Guo, don't be nervous. I'm just guessing. It proves that Cao Cao has the same feelings as me and is loyal to His Majesty." Even Li Yuan didn't believe what he said, but he still wanted to act for Dong Cheng. "Although we can defeat Yang Feng and others now, there are still soldiers and horses of Li Jue and Guo Si in Chang'an, with a force of up to 10. If His Majesty continues to stay in Luoyang, he will still be threatened by them. It is better to stay away from Luoyang." The best choice, and Luoyang is so dilapidated that it is no longer suitable for His Majesty to live in, so I ask Uncle Guo to persuade His Majesty."

"This..." Dong Cheng was a little embarrassed, "General Li, you and Cao Xiaowei are both loyal ministers and good generals, but you have to get His Majesty's personal approval to leave Luoyang, and Chen Liu and Xiapi can only choose one of them. It was a tough decision for me, too.”

"It's not that I said Cao Cao is bad, Chen Liu is definitely not suitable for His Majesty to live in."

"Why did General Li say that?" Dong Cheng looked at Li Yuan suspiciously.

"Does Uncle Guo know why Yuan Shao and Captain Cao are at odds?"

"Why?"

"Yuan Shao is about to defeat Gongsun Zan. After unifying Hebei, he will go south. The first enemy he goes south is Cao Cao. That's why he and Cao Cao are at odds. It means that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao will fight to the death in a short time, and Chen Liu will also be affected, so It is not suitable for His Majesty to go to Chenliu, but Xiapi is different, Xiapi is prosperous and stable, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and has not suffered disasters for several years, it is a better choice than Chenliupi."

Although Li Yuanzhi's words were biased against him, they were also reasonable.

"No wonder Cao Cao would have conflicts with Yuan Shao, so there is still such a relationship." Dong Cheng thought for a while and said, "General Li, I will tell His Majesty your suggestion, and His Majesty will decide where to go."

"Okay, I'll leave everything to Uncle Guo." Li Yuan cupped his fists and said.

After discussing with Li Yuan for a while, Dong Cheng took his leave and left.

In the evening, Dong Cheng went to the palace to follow the emperor's secret proposal.

"Uncle Guo, do you have something important to discuss with me at this late hour?" Han Xiandi yawned, he is only 14 years old this year, he doesn't understand many things, and he relies on Dong Cheng's help, many people at this age can't It is really not easy to study without worry, while Emperor Xian has to bear the decline of the Han Dynasty and the threats of the princes.

"Cao Cao and Li Yuan both consulted with the ministers and suggested that His Majesty leave Luoyang. I wonder if Your Majesty is willing to leave Luoyang?" Dong Cheng told Han Xiandi what Cao Cao and Li Yuan had said.

"The palace in Luoyang is dilapidated. Back then, Dong Thief burned down Luoyang with a fire. The people lived without a fixed place, and there were ruins everywhere. Luoyang is indeed no longer suitable for me to live in. Even if Jingzhou Mu Liubiao is willing to help repair it, it will take several years. Then According to what Cao Cao and Li Yuan said, don't live in Luoyang for the time being."

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty wanted to move a long time ago, because now Luoyang is too bad and does not conform to his noble status. For an underage child, he doesn't think too much. He only knows that he must eat well, live well and wear well. Well done.

"Cao Cao advised His Majesty to go to Chenliu, while Li Yuan suggested to go to Xiapi. I wonder where Your Majesty is going?" Dong Cheng asked.

"Where does Uncle Guo think is suitable?" Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty didn't know the general trend of the world at all, and he had never been to Chenliu and Xiapi.

"In terms of distance, Chenliu is a little closer. However, Chenliu is located in Yanzhou. Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are at odds. I am afraid that he will be attacked by Yuan Shao in the future. Xiapi is located in Xuzhou. I heard that under Li Yuan's governance, the people of Xiapi live and work in peace and contentment. , and it is very prosperous, and it is unlikely to encounter wars, so I feel that Xiapi is more suitable." Dong Cheng suggested.

"In this case, we will temporarily move to Xiapi as Uncle Guo said." Emperor Xian thought for a while, and then said, "Uncle Guo will notify all officials to move tomorrow."

"Your Majesty, there is no need to be anxious about this matter. I will leave after Li Yuan and others defeat Han Xian and Yang Feng." Dong Cheng indicated that there is no need to worry.

"Okay, I have hated Han Xian and Yang Feng for many days, and now someone is finally taking care of them for me. If Li Yuan and others can really defeat Han Xian and Yang Feng, I will definitely reward them well."

"I believe they will not disappoint His Majesty."

"Well, if you don't have anything to play, then go down, I'm going to rest." Emperor Xian yawned again, looking quite tired.

"Yes, my minister is resigning." Guojiu gave Emperor Xian a bow, and then left.

The next day, Dong Cheng told Li Yuan about Emperor Xian's decision. Li Yuan was very happy when he learned about it, and asked Dong Chengwu to tell Cao Cao and Yuan Shao about Emperor Xian's decision, and then notify Emperor Xian after they defeated Han Xian and Yang Feng. Go to Xiapi, and keep things secret, otherwise you will attract Li Jue and Guo Si's pursuers.

After Dong Cheng agreed, he went to prepare.
