Hegemony of the Three Kingdoms: I really just want to be Cao Cao's janitor

Chapter 166 Greeting the Emperor
Liu Bei shook his head, and then said: "The matter of the emperor can only be discussed in the long term. I was in Cao Cao's camp just now and found that most of Cao Cao's elites had not been dispatched at all, and there were many fewer generals in the camp. I guess once we have If we do anything, Cao Cao will kill us immediately!"

"Then our trip was in vain!"

"No! At least we know whose hands the emperor is in, and what is the strength of Cao Cao, and how powerful the enemy we will face in the future!" Liu Bei said.

Zhang Fei took a sip of his wine and said annoyedly, "I thought there was going to be a war this time, so I came here for nothing!"

"Third brother, don't complain. We must return to Xuzhou. If Lu Bu makes a move, we can react immediately!"

Liu Bei couldn't help worrying about the safety of the emperor at this time, and at the same time worried that Lu Bu would take the opportunity to attack Xuzhou, and Xuzhou's land could not be lost.

Once Xuzhou is lost, his base camp will be gone. Even if the emperor is brought back, it will be useless, and he will still be robbed by others.

Therefore, he wants to preserve his own strength now, and when his strength becomes stronger, he will welcome the emperor back.

Subsequently, Liu Bei hastily withdrew his troops.

Seeing Liu Bei's retreat, Cao Ren followed Liu Bei for more than 30 miles, and then withdrew when he saw that Liu Bei had no intention of returning.

Liu Bei naturally also discovered the existence of Cao Ren, because Cao Ren had no intention of hiding at all, and followed Liu Bei blatantly, sending Liu Bei away before he left.

During the period, Zhang Fei wanted to fight Cao Ren many times, but was stopped by Liu Bei. They need to return to Xuzhou now, and he didn't want to get into any trouble.

At the same time, Cao Cao was extremely happy looking at Lu Mou after the battle.

"Thank you Xiaoyi!" Cao Cao said happily.

"Should be!"

"Where is the Son of Heaven?"

"With civil and military officials, it seems that I was a little frightened!" Lu Mou said.

"Naturally, Wen Chou is a common man, he scared the emperor! Follow me to meet the emperor!" Cao Cao laughed.

At this time, Xun Yu reminded from the side: "My lord, we have to meet the emperor according to the ancient etiquette!"

"Of course I know this, but I have one more thing, who can answer it for me!" Cao Cao asked.

"My lord, please tell me!"

"I am also a vassal now. When I meet the emperor, what should I bring? What do you think I should give?" Cao Cao asked.

The crowd meditated.

"My lord, we should send some gold and silver!"

"No, jade agate!"

"Peerless treasure!"

At this time, Lu Mou said from the side: "Brother, I think it is enough to give a meal of meat!"

At this time, Cao Cao looked at Lu Mou with some doubts, and said, "Why?"

"The Son of Heaven is displaced, and the Son of Heaven and all the officials suffer from hunger and cold. What he needs most now is gold, silver, jade, emerald and agate. At this time, a mouthful of broth is worth ten thousand taels of gold!" Lu Mou said.

"Xiaoyi is right. I vaguely remember that when we ran away together, we looked like we hadn't eaten properly for a few days. At that time, I was thinking how wonderful it would be if a bowl of broth was served to me right now. !” Cao Cao said.

"It was really embarrassing at that time, and I couldn't eat enough!" Lu Mou said.

"Listen to Xiaoyi, let people prepare food!" Cao Cao said with a smile.

Afterwards, Cao Cao took Lu Mou's hand and strode inside.

Xun Yu reminded Cao Cao to treat each other with courtesy.

"understood!"

Afterwards, Cao Cao entered the hall. Although Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty looked embarrassed, he was still sitting on the dragon chair, looking at Cao Cao below.

"Cao Cao, the governor of Yanzhou, kowtowed to my emperor!"

Cao Cao knelt down directly and began to salute.

Liu Xie said in a weak tone, "Ai Qing is flat!"

Cao Cao stood up, patted the dust off his body, and then Lu Mou took the prepared food and handed it to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao took the food and walked to Liu Xie step by step.

Liu Xie looked at the box in Cao Cao's hand, and asked in puzzlement, "What's Ai Qing at this time?"

"At this time, the gift that I have prepared for His Majesty, may Your Majesty guess?" Cao Cao said deliberately.

"Is it jade?"

Cao Cao shook his head, and Liu Xie guessed a few times, but none of them, so Liu Xie was a little at a loss.

"Your Majesty, please open it and have a look!"

Liu Xie opened it carefully, fearing that it contained someone's head, his hands couldn't help shaking.

Seeing this scene, Cao Cao couldn't help but feel a little funny, but he held back.

Simply, Cao Cao said: "Your Majesty, the chicken soup has just been cooked." '

With tears in Liu Xie's eyes, he drank the chicken soup in Cao Cao's hand with a spoon, and was very moved.

Cao Cao looked very happy. He knew that his gift was just to Liu Xie's taste.

Liu Xie said excitedly: "Ai Qing! I haven't eaten meat for more than half a year."

"Your Majesty, please have a meal!" Cao Cao said deeply.

Lu Mou sneered at the side, this was the first time he saw Liu Xie, he did not expect that the emperor in front of him was not very old, he was similar to himself, but his personality was so cowardly.

Afterwards, Cao Cao said to the ministers below: "Ministers, have a good meal, and we will return to Xuchang in a while!"

At this time, Dong Cheng came up and asked Cao Cao, "Your Excellency, why do you want to come to Xuchang?"

"Luoyang is dilapidated and uninhabitable, but I, Xuchang, have excellent soldiers and good generals, who can keep Your Majesty safe!" Cao Cao said.

Dong Cheng didn't say anything, at this moment, he understood Cao Cao's ambition, he wanted to control the emperor in his own hands.

This is even more terrifying than Dong Zhuo back then!
After everyone finished eating, they began to return to Xuchang.

Liu Xie tremblingly said to Dong Cheng: "I just came out of the wolf's den and it's like a tiger's den!"

"Your Majesty, we need patience!" Dong Cheng comforted.

The surrounding ministers remained silent. Although they were dissatisfied with Cao Cao's actions, they dared not speak out at all.

On the road.

Cao Cao said to Xun Yu: "Immediately use the name of Emperor Han to announce to the world that the emperor moved the capital to Xuchang, and to announce to the world's princes, prefects, generals, and governors that they will come and pay homage immediately.

In addition, from now on, Xuchang will be renamed Xudu, the imperial court will change the reign name to Jian'an, and the world will be amnesty! "

"As ordered!"

What Lu Mou listened to was true. He knew that Cao Cao would make good use of the emperor in his hands and make great achievements.

And the real battle has just begun.

"Xiaoyi, you have done a great job in this operation, and I will make you a general for you!" Cao Cao said.

"Brother, there is no need for a defeated general to be a marquis. I just want to stay by my brother's side. I am powerless to be honest. If my brother doesn't need me that day, I'm afraid I will live in seclusion on that mountain, watch the mountains and rivers, and write poems and poems! "Lu Mou said with a smile.

"You listen to me on this matter!"

"Brother, I'll talk about this in the future, I'm not in a hurry!"
