Crossing the Battle of the Three Kingdoms

The oppressive atmosphere didn't last long, and Yan Dashu frowned and said, "My lord won't agree, I'll go back and report it myself."

Yan Er shook his head and said, "If you leave, your combat power will drop by [-]%. If something unexpected happens and you don't complete the mission, what should you do?"

Yan Sandao: "Tomorrow Yang Feng and others will lead the troops to retreat. There may be changes at that time, and there may be no changes. It is really inappropriate to leave at this time."

Yan Dao said: "This matter is decided in this way. The red rabbit is fast, and it will take only a few days to go back and forth. It will not delay the business."

Why is Yanda so persistent? Because he and Li Huiyi have one thing in common, that is, they pay attention to family affection.

Yan Er and Yan San looked at each other and nodded.

"Well, you go early and come back early."

"Ah, okay."

Now that the decision was made, Yan University didn't want to stay any longer, and immediately left the tent and got on the horse, leaving at night.

And it wasn't just them who were worried and distressed, Yuan, Liu, and Cao also sent troops overnight to pass the news back.

Three days later, the Sifang people sent the prepared food and grass into the city in pain.

Another seven days later, Sun Ce's subordinate Zhang Hong led three thousand soldiers and horses and escorted one hundred thousand shi of grain to Luoyang.

Sending charcoal in the snow, Liu Xie learned that he went to the city gate to greet him in person, and hosted a banquet in the palace to entertain Zhang Hong alone.

In the early morning of the next day, Liu Xie canonized Sun Ce to succeed his father and appointed him Yangzhou Mu.

Since Zhang Hong's arrival, Liu Xie seemed to have settled down, and he took care of restoring Luoyang's vitality, and issued many edicts.

The first is to exempt the people who were forced to be bandits from the crime, and let them come to Luoyang to settle down.

Immediately afterwards, talented people from all over the world were called to come to Luoyang. As long as they passed the oral examination of ministers Dong Cheng and Xu Huang, they could enter the court as officials, or go to the army as non-commissioned officers.

As soon as the amnesty decree and the summoning decree came out, some people who had a heart for the people of the Han Dynasty, or those who were talented and academically frustrated, went to Luoyang one after another.

The dilapidated city of Luoyang, with the arrival of more and more people, is full of vitality and looks like it is recovering quickly.

Half a month later, Cao Cao came with [-] troops in person, breaking the brief tranquility.

When the news reached the palace, Liu Xie personally led a hundred officials to meet him five miles out of the city.

When the two sides collided, Cao Cao ordered the army to wait in place, and personally led more than ten generals to gallop forward.

Seeing Liu Xie driving, Cao Cao quickly got off his horse and bowed down. "Cao Cao has seen His Majesty."

Liu Xie hurriedly got out of the car, stepped forward to support Cao Cao and said, "Cao Aiqing has worked hard all the way, get up quickly."

Cao Cao said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The monarch and ministers were simple and polite, and then led their troops to Luoyang in a mighty manner.

At this moment, history seems to have returned to the track. Cao Cao also took his first step by coercing the emperor to order the princes.

As for whether things will develop like history, that is unknown. After all, there is one more Li Huiyi, and no one dares to make a judgment.

Chapter 358

In Luoyang Palace, Liu Xie held a banquet in the court hall to welcome Cao Cao.

"Come on, let's offer a cup to Cao Aiqing."

All the ministers raised their wine glasses and respected Cao Cao.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you all colleagues, Meng De will do it first." Cao Cao raised his glass in return, then drank it all in one gulp, and put down the glass.

"Cao Aiqing has a good drinker." Liu Xie raised his glass, pecked a little, put it down and said, "Cao Aiqing, Luoyang has just recovered a bit, and needs Aiqing's help."

Cao Cao said: "Your Majesty, Luoyang is no longer suitable to be the capital of the Han Dynasty after the disaster of the Dong thief. It is better to go to Chenliu, Yanzhou."

"The city of Chenliu is tall and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Your Majesty's visit will just revive the great Han country."

Ok?

Going to Chenliu, it seems that this is the purpose of Cao Cao's trip.

Liu Xiedao: "Cao Aiqing, Luoyang has been established as the capital since Emperor Guangwu of the Great Han Dynasty. How can I abandon my ancestral foundation and let the world cast aside."

Cao Cao said: "Over two hundred years after the Great Han Dynasty, there was a disaster of Wang Mang. Emperor Guangwu made great efforts to establish Luoyang as the capital. Only then did the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty continue. Your Majesty moved the capital to Chenliu. This is an example of Emperor Guangwu, and it will surely be famous forever."

Using the analogy of Emperor Guangwu really moved Liu Xie a little, but Chen Liu was the foundation of Cao Cao, and Liu Xie still felt conflicted.

"Currently, Luoyang is slowly recovering. If there is a sudden attack, the situation that has finally stabilized will be ruined once again."

Cao Cao said: "Your Majesty, don't go to Chenliu because of a small loss. Your Majesty will be in charge of the outside, and within a few years, you will be able to wipe out all the princes in one fell swoop. If you stay in Luoyang, I'm afraid it will take years to recover."

This matter was too important, and Liu Xie couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he could only change the topic.

"Cao Aiqing must be exhausted from running around for days. We will discuss this matter in a while. Today, I just drink and have fun."

Seeing Liu Xie's intention to change the subject, Cao Cao stopped talking. After all, this matter cannot be resolved overnight.

Not talking about state affairs, the atmosphere of the banquet improved a lot, everyone ate and drank, so they felt free and happy.

After the banquet was over, Cao Cao returned to the residence he had prepared, and called his subordinates to discuss.

Because there were a lot of people toasting at the banquet, Cao Cao's face was already slightly red, and he was closing his eyes and resting his mind.

"Tell me, what have you gained these days."

Mao Jie said: "My lord, more than half of the ministers in the court are willing to move to Yanzhou, but your majesty is unwilling, and the ministers have tried every means to lobby to no avail."

"At present, the defense of Luoyang City is presided over by His Majesty's confidant General Xu Huang. This man is brave and resourceful, and he is a rare general."

Cao Cao said: "If you want to subdue this person, are you sure?"

Mao Jie said: "I'm afraid it will be difficult. Although His Majesty is young, he is very good at conquering people's hearts."

Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "Zi Lian, what's happening with the soldiers and horses from all walks of life?"

Cao Hongdao: "My lord, Yan Liang, Yuan Shao's general, practiced soldiers and horses in the battalion all day long. There is nothing unusual about it. Zhang Fei, under Liu Bei, went to Li Huiyi's Eighteenth Cavalry Battalion every day to compete."

"The only strange thing is Sun Ce's subordinate Zhang Hong. He has entered the palace many times and had secret discussions with His Majesty for a long time."

"Oh?" Cao Cao slightly opened his eyes and said, "Do you know what was discussed?"

Cao Hongdao: "It's not clear yet, because when they discussed, they all screened out idlers and others."

Ok?
