The main hall of the early dynasty was already full of ministers from the previous dynasty, even Cao Cao had arrived, while Liu Xie and Dong Cheng had not yet arrived.

The ministers talked a lot, but they saw Dong Cheng being summoned into the palace by Liu Xie before the last dynasty, and they didn't know what Liu Xie and Dong Cheng were doing. The clever minister seemed to realize something, and planned to remain silent later if something important happened. Silence is golden, and this is an important means of self-protection in the Xuchang court.

Cao Cao kept watching the expressions of all the ministers, and the ministers discovered Cao Cao's eyes, and the noisy hall immediately became quiet. In fact, Cao Cao's heart was thinking that Liu Xie would not be afraid of the failure to assassinate Liu Yu.

"Your Majesty has arrived!" A duck-throated eunuch voice interrupted Cao Cao's thoughts.

Jian'an Emperor Liu Xie and Dong Cheng finally arrived. Cao Cao found that Wang Yue was also following Liu Xie.

Dong Cheng returned to his place and knelt down without saying a word. Wang Yue sat at the very edge of the hall. The ministers are all from Luoyang, of course they know Wang Yue, they didn't expect Wang Yue to appear here today, it seems that Wang Yue has become Liu Xie's henchman, and they will have to have a good time in the future. Therefore, the ministers looked at Wang Yue with very friendly eyes.

"Your Majesty." Except for Cao Cao, everyone else bowed.

Liu Xie sat on the throne, dragged his hands weakly, and said, "Everyone, get up. ”

The ministers rose up one after another, and then they all maintained a posture of looking at their noses and noses.

Liu Xie said: "Wang Yue, the swordsman of the Son of Heaven, is highly respected, excellent in martial arts, loyal, and hard work. In addition, a gold medal will be given, and you will be able to enter and leave the palace freely. ”

"Thank you, Lord Ron!" Wang Yue went out of class and knelt down, and from this moment on, Wang Yue had an official body.

Cao Cao didn't bother to care about this kind of trivial matter, so he simply acquiesced.

Liu Xie looked at Cao Cao and asked, "Prime Minister, Liu Yu's thief army has been in the Chen Soldier for a long time, and he is a great threat to Xu Du, but is there a good way to retreat from the enemy?" ”

Liu Xie opened his mouth to ask, and Cao Cao could be regarded as saving face, and replied: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister has prepared elite soldiers and horses, and he can attack at any time!" ”

"The prime minister is loyal, and I am very relieved. Do you know what the odds are? Liu Xie then asked.

Cao Cao thought that Liu Xie was really scared, and said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, even if the ministers are full of blood, they will defeat Liu Yu, and promise that Xu will not be lost!" ”

"Prime Minister, Xia Guan thinks that it will be very difficult to defeat Liu Yu this time." Dong Cheng opened his mouth and said.

"What do you think?" Cao Cao looked surprised, this Dong Cheng is usually very well-behaved, why did he stage such a show today.

The ministers secretly screamed in their hearts, and sure enough, Dong Cheng and Liu Xie had already begun to calculate.

"Since the invasion of Liu Yu's thieves, the situation of our army is not optimistic, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a steady defeat. Dongguan County in Xuzhou has been lost, but fortunately, Liu Xuande, the uncle of Xuzhou Muhuang, struggled to resist, and reluctantly confronted Liu Yu's thief Guan Yu's department. Yanzhou Xiahou Yuanrang was seriously injured, and now he can only maintain the defensive line with great difficulty. Coupled with Liu Yu's thief soldier Chen Bingchang, my Xuchang is in danger. So it's not as easy as the prime minister said. Dong Chengzheng sat down and told Cao Cao's current situation.

Cao Cao's heart sank, Dong Cheng's words seriously hit the morale of his side, I am afraid that he has other plans.

The ministers' faces also turned pale, they didn't know so much, it turned out that the situation had become so bad. Then they will have to find another way, and Xuchang is not so safe. Maybe you can try to contact Emperor Shenwu Liu Yu, after all, Emperor Shenwu is also the son of the Han Dynasty, and whoever he is a minister is the same, as long as he ensures that future generations will be prosperous and rich, what is it to bear a little infamy, the most important thing is to live.

When Cao Cao was about to angrily reprimand Dong Cheng, Dong Cheng said in a righteous manner: "The current situation is so corrupt, the lower officials feel that we and other civil and military ministers should unite to assist the prime minister and fight Liu Yu to the death!" The lower officials were willing to donate all their family property to serve the imperial court. ”

Cao Cao was even more surprised, this routine is not right, when did Dong Cheng become so noble.

The ministers' faces are red, look at it, this is the loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, for the sake of His Majesty, he doesn't even want his family property, what is more important than his life. But then again, Dong Cheng is His Majesty's father-in-law, and it seems natural for his father-in-law to help his son-in-law. As soon as the ministers thought about it, their minds were balanced. After the death of Fu Wan, Dong Cheng finally paid attention to Liu Xie, the last son of heaven, and now that the son of heaven is in trouble, it is strange whether he, as his father-in-law and the most valued by Liu Xie, can contribute ruthlessly.

Cao Cao also thought about it this way. I think only such an answer can explain Dong Cheng's righteous actions.

Dong Cheng was willing to donate all his family property, Cao Cao naturally would not be embarrassed, and said with admiration: "Lord Dong is really a high wind and bright festival." ”

Cao Cao looked at the other ministers, and the meaning was obvious, Dong Cheng had donated all his family property, you know what to do.

Could the ministers not understand what Cao Cao meant? That's impossible.

Immediately afterwards, many ministers gave generously and donated more or less money.

Cao Cao made a lot of money.

However, Xia Guan thought about it a little more. As the old saying goes: Soldiers, murder weapons. In battlefield battles, victory and defeat are common things in soldiers. But now in a decisive battle with Liu Yu, the gambling is the fortune of the country, in case of carelessness, the imperial court will have no room for maneuver. Therefore, Xia Guan thinks that the imperial court can prepare with both hands. Dong Cheng said again.

"What is two-handed preparation? Guozhang has something to say directly. Before Cao Cao could react, Liu Xie sang a double reed.

Dong Cheng comprehended and said: "The prime minister's handsome soldiers will fight a decisive battle with Liu Yu. In order to relieve the prime minister's worries, Xia Guan felt that it was necessary to start preparations for the relocation of the capital. This matter is important, and I also ask the Prime Minister to observe it and His Majesty to make a judgment. ”

This is a good idea. I don't know what the prime minister thinks? Liu Xie said.

Cao Cao has a black line, you two sing this double reed well. However, Cao Cao felt that Dong Cheng's suggestion was very correct. Because Cao Cao didn't know if he could win this battle. Maybe it's also a good choice to prepare first.

"This is a very big matter, and the minister needs time to think it through." Cao Cao naturally would not agree easily.

However, Cao Cao's tone can see that he is not against it, but he needs to consider all kinds of gains and losses, Liu Xie and Dong Cheng both smiled, it seems that Cao Cao is not so difficult to deal with.

This important matter was not decided on the spot, and Liu Xie had no intention of continuing to go to court, and said: "This matter will be handed over to the prime minister." However, Liu Yu's thieves can arrive at any time, and the prime minister still made a decision early. Whatever you decide, I have your back. Scatter the dynasty! ”

"Congratulations to Your Majesty!" The ministers sent Liu Xie off.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Cao Cao returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion and called all his henchmen and advisers.

Xun Yu and others also had a dynasty, so they all followed Cao Cao to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the only one who was late was Guo Jia. Cao Cao found that Guo Jia's face was not very good, as if he was sick, and said, "Fengxiao, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Occasionally, if you feel a cold, it's good to rest for a few days. Thank you for your concern. Guo Jia found an excuse to perfunctory, and then found a place to sit down.

Cao Cao couldn't see anything wrong with Guo Jia, and after looking around at everyone, he said, "Okay, now everyone is here." Let's discuss what Dong Cheng said today. ”

Xun Yu came out first and said: "Lord, I think this matter is absolutely impossible. This is a very demoralizing thing, and it seems that our army is afraid of Liu Yu. ”

Xun Yu has always been opposed to moving the capital, and he does not think that moving the capital will be beneficial to Cao Cao and the imperial court.

"That's what I think below." Xun You, of course, supports his fellow clansmen.

Cheng Yu said even more coldly: "In my opinion, the Son of Heaven and Dong Cheng are afraid. For the sake of his life, he didn't even want backbone. ”

Cao Cao thought for a moment and finally looked at Guo Jia.

Guo Jia coughed, moistened his throat and said, "Actually, I think what Dong Cheng said is also reasonable. ”

Xun Yu knew the weight of Guo Jia in Cao Cao's heart, he said so, I was afraid that Cao Cao would choose to move the capital, so he said loudly: "Fengxiao, don't you think that moving the capital will make the world think that I am afraid of Liu Yu?" In this way, where is the majesty of the Son of Heaven! ”

Guo Jia asked rhetorically: "Wen Ruo, do you still think that there is still a Son of Heaven in the minds of the world?" I'm afraid that there are many people in Xuchang City who wish Liu Yu would attack it as soon as possible. ”

Xun Yu was irrefuted by Guo Jia's words, and indeed as Guo Jia said, Liu Xie doesn't have much majesty at all.

"My lord, take advantage of the situation, and the temporary retreat is to go further." Guo Jia tactfully suggested that Cao Cao move the capital.

Cao Cao began to close his eyes and ponder, several strategists did not speak, they had said what they should have said, now it is up to Cao Cao to make a decision.

Cao Cao opened his eyes, he finally made a decision, and said: "Since this is the case, Gu must also leave a way back for himself." Wen Ruo, the matter of moving the capital will be handed over to you, but it must be carried out in secret, and the news cannot be leaked. lest Liu Yugou jump off the wall in a hurry. ”

"I understand below." Xun Yu reluctantly took the order.

"The rest of the people, wait for you, and go with Gu tomorrow to meet that Shenwu Emperor for a while. Damn, Liu Yu thought that he would be powerful when he became the emperor, and Lone was going to beat him up this time! Cao Cao made the final decision.

"Shall I die to serve the Lord?" The strategists said in unison.

Out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xun Yu found Guo Jia and said angrily: "Fengxiao, why did you agree to move the capital in front of the lord just now?" ”

"There's not much time left." Guo Jia silently left Xun Yu.

Xun Yu couldn't figure out what Guo Jia was talking about for a while.

But Guo Jia didn't take a few steps before he fell to the ground, Xun Yu was shocked, ran over quickly and helped Guo Jia up, and said anxiously: "Fengxiao, what's wrong with you?" Wake up. ”

No matter how Xun Yu called Guo Jia, he didn't wake up, Xun Yu immediately asked someone to carry Guo Jia into the carriage and rush to his home.
