Three Kingdoms: I choose the anti-thief camp at the beginning

Chapter 9, Chen, willing to die to show his ambition

"Okay, Meng De is very clever, if you can put down the Xiliang army in this battle, you will be the first!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

heard,

Cao Cao knelt down on the ground with excitement.

After all, he was born as a eunuch.

He is the laughing stock of everyone in the court. Although he is bright on the bright side, there is no hope of promotion. After all, those aristocratic families will never allow an eunuch to continue to be promoted.

And now,
What Liu Mu valued was to give him some hope of promotion, so how could he not be moved?
Signaled Cao Mengde to get up,
Looking around the hall, he opened his mouth and said:

"Lu Bu, Li Yuanba, where are you?"

"The end is here!"

The two generals walked out from among the courtiers and knelt down on the ground, their eyes full of reverence.

"You two, go ahead and reorganize the army first. Gather all the troops that can fight in Luoyang City. In two days, I will personally drive the army to fight. The Xiliang army! Take back my big man Xiliang in one fell swoop."

As he spoke, Liu Mu's voice still rose with majesty.

Even more faintly, there is an emperor's aura looming.

"Follow His Majesty's will."

said,

Then Li Yuanba and Lu Bu are the leaders.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Mu simply arranged the work of the courtiers.

The court meeting, however, ended here.

At the same time, Liu Mu still got some good news.

That is, before Hanling Emperor Liu Hong died, there were still Eight Lieutenants of Xiyuan, with a total of nearly [-] troops, and all of them were veterans who had experienced battles.

And now,
Naturally, Liu Mu was cheap for nothing.

Directly hand over the command of this army to Li Yuanba.

Liu Mu announced the end of the court meeting and signaled the officials to disperse, except for Cao Mengde who stayed behind.

……

in the hall,
Cao Mengde looked at Liu Mu on the dragon chair, his face tensed, cold sweat still broke out on his forehead, and he still stammered in his voice:
"Your Majesty, I don't know, you stay... a humble minister... but what... is there anything important?"

Looking at the flustered Cao Mengde, Liu Mu smiled slightly and said:

"Cao Aiqing doesn't have to be so cautious, I only want to discuss with you, the general trend of the world!"

"Since my imperial brother Liu Hong came to the throne, my big man has been on the decline. He reused the ten permanent servants, bought and sold officials wantonly, and allowed the states to support the army. Today's world is no longer the old big man. There are many princes, like Dong Zhuo's disciples, I don't know how many there are."

"My position is not as easy as I imagined! Once my big man shows a little weakness, those princes may show their ambitions and cholera the world."

said,

Liu Mu still let out a long sigh.

"This...Your Majesty, how can you say such words to this humble minister?"

Although these are obvious matters, they are not something that the courtiers can speculate. After all, how can they understand the royal affairs?
But now, Liu Mu actually told everything, which made Cao Cao panic.

"Why not? Could it be that even Cao Aiqing wants to be a big man?"

said,

Liu Mu still looked at Cao Cao intentionally or unintentionally.

When the latter heard the words, his eyes were full of firmness and he said: "I will be loyal to the big man wholeheartedly, without any selfishness. If your majesty doesn't believe it, I can die!"

"Hehe, since Aiqing is so loyal, why can't I tell you? Besides, I believe in you! I will never betray me!"

As he spoke, there was still some sincerity in Liu Mu's voice.

As for His Highness Cao Mengde, he was a little horrified for a while, but soon he became moved.

after all,

For many years, ever since he entered the official career, he has always wanted to serve the country with his death.

Nai Hekong has passion, but when he really joined the officialdom, he realized that the dangers among the courtiers, such as stalking others, protecting each other, etc., can be seen almost everywhere.

But he, after being an eunuch, was not welcomed at all.

If it weren't for some ability, I'm afraid he would have been kicked out of the court long ago.

Slowly, Cao Cao's blood was also boiled away.

And at this time,
Liu Mu's words gave him some confidence.

……

after all,

This Cao Mengde was originally loyal to the Han Dynasty.

Especially when Dong Zhuo occupied Luoyang, the officials were panicked.

But only at this time, he chose to assassinate Dong, and after he failed, he borrowed the secret edict of the emperor to summon the princes of the world to challenge Dong together.

And during the crusade against Dong Zhuo, he tried his best and almost wiped out the entire army.

Therefore, there is no doubt about this person's loyalty. Even in later generations, when the Han Dynasty no longer had imperial power, this person did not usurp the emperor.

This shows that

This Cao Cao is still somewhat loyal.

Therefore,
Nature is trustworthy!

After pondering for a while, Cao Cao just knelt down on the ground and swore to the sky.

"Cao Mengde, I wish that from now on, I will swear to follow Your Majesty to the death and never betray you. If you break this oath, both humans and gods will be abandoned, and the six ways will not be tolerated!"

In ancient times, oaths were quite authoritative.

Therefore,
This Cao Cao is obviously sincere, and at this time, the system's notification sound also sounded at the right time: "Ding Dong, congratulations to the host, triggering the selection."

"One, recruit Cao Cao. Two: Refuse Cao Mengde to serve. Three, ignore it."
