Chapter 596: Cao Cao's thoughts
Xu Huang entered Cao Ying and had a negotiation with Cao Cao. ***
However, things were not easy to complete, and there were small twists and turns along the way, but Xu Huang finally persuaded Cao Cao and successfully persuaded Cao Cao to stop marching. As for what happened in it, it is unknown, because when Cao Cao and Xu Huang were talking, aside from Xi Zhicai and others, even Xu Huang did not let the soldiers who came with him follow.
The specific conversation is known only to two people.
On the same day, Cao Cao asked the army to stop advancing, set up camp, and stop to rest.
Xu Huang came and achieved his goal, and then led the troops back and returned to Chang'an to resume his life.
Cao Cao sent Xu Huang away, and he was sent ten miles away before stopping and returning. It can be seen that Cao Cao attaches great importance to Xu Huang. After Cao Cao returned to the camp, Xi Zhicai hurriedly found Cao Cao, he and Cao Cao had already discussed and prepared to enter Chang'an, and now Cao Cao agreed to Xu Huang, which made him very puzzled.
In the tent, Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai sat opposite each other.
Xi Zhicai's slightly pale face showed an eager expression, and he clenched his fists and asked: "Lord, whether it is Ma Teng or Wang Can, they have the emperor in their hands, and it is not good for you, why did the lord agree to Xu Huang?" ”
Cao Cao smiled and asked: "Zhicai, Xu Huang is an envoy of the imperial court, if I don't agree, what do you think Wen Ruo thinks in his heart?" ”
After hearing this, Xi Zhicai's face changed.
Xun Yu's thoughts, Xi Zhi knows.
Xun Yu is loyal to the Han family, and also hopes that Cao Cao can stabilize the government and restore the Han family, if Cao Cao openly opposes the envoys sent by Liu Xie, Xun Yu will definitely leave a pimple in his heart, although Xun Yu is far away in Yanzhou, but the news continues to pass back, Xun Yu will eventually know what happened here.
Moreover, Xu Huang only let Cao Cao return to Yanzhou, and did not deprive Cao Cao of his rights, which not only occupied the righteousness, but also took care of Cao Cao's face, so that Cao Cao could not refuse.
Xi Zhicai hesitated for a moment and said: "Lord, since you have to take into account Wen Ruo's feelings, why don't you detain Xu Huang in the army, as long as the lord doesn't let Xu Huang go, you can come to Chang'an, and now the lord agrees to withdraw from the army, which is really unwise." ”
Cao Cao shook his head and said, "Zhicai, you only know one thing, but you don't know the other." ”
Xi Zhicai was stunned when he heard this, and immediately arched his hand and said: "Please solve your doubts!" ”
Cao Cao smiled and said: "Liu Xie sent an envoy, not only Xu Huang came to me to deliver the decree, but there was another group of people to Wang Can's camp to deliver the decree, do you know who the other way is to deliver the decree?" ”
Xi Zhicai shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
Cao Cao stretched out his hand and knocked on the desk, laughing and said, "The envoy sent to Wang Can is Ma Chao, it's Ma Chao!" ”
"Ma Chao?"
After hearing this, Xi Zhicai showed a puzzled look on his face, and immediately said: "Lord, I remember that Ma Chao is Ma Teng's son, and now that Ma Teng is in charge of the government, if Ma Chao is sent as an envoy, I am afraid it will be ......."
After finishing speaking, Xi Zhicai's face was abrupt, revealing a relieved expression.
Cao Cao looked confident, and said loudly: "Ma Teng controls Chang'an, I expect that Wang Can will definitely detain Ma Chao to threaten Ma Teng, Wang Can has a way to surrender without a fight, and it will definitely be implemented." When Wang Can detained Ma Chao and led his troops to attack Chang'an, Ma Teng must have withdrawn in order to protect Ma Chao. ”
"Liu Xie is unwilling to be swayed by Wang Can, and he will definitely rise up to resist."
"However, Wang Can is powerful, and Liu Xie is bound to not be Wang Can's opponent."
"Xu Huang came here to deliver the decree, and I have repeatedly pledged to be loyal to the little emperor, and hinted to Xu Huang that as long as the little emperor is attacked by Wang Can, I will definitely send troops to rescue Liu Xie."
"Xu Huang is both wise and brave, he is a rare general, he can definitely see that Chang'an can't stay for a long time, and he will definitely persuade the little emperor to leave Chang'an temporarily and avoid Wang Can. At this time, the effect of my acceptance of the little emperor's decree came out, and he was bound to leave Chang'an under the protection of Yang Feng and Xu Huang to seek protection. In this way, if we send troops to welcome the emperor again, won't we kill two birds with one stone, not only did we not offend the emperor, but also welcomed the emperor back. ”
Cao Cao showed a touch of pride on his face, and he also temporarily changed his mind after listening to Xu Huang's instructions.
When Xi Zhicai heard this, he hugged his fists and said: "The lord makes a decision on the spot, and he admires his humble duties!" ”
After a pause, Xi Zhicai asked again: "Lord, since we have to wait for Wang Can to attack Chang'an and then welcome back the emperor, we can't retreat, but we can't advance, we can only stop the army." ”
Cao Cao nodded and said, "Of course, I just promised not to enter the army, and now it makes sense to stop and rest for a few days." ”
After saying that, the two laughed.
In the tent, there was hearty laughter.
……
Chang'an City, the General's Mansion.
After Ma Teng occupied Chang'an, he lived in Fan Chou's mansion.
He has already gotten the news that Xu Huang has returned to Chang'an and returned to the little emperor Liu Xie, but Ma Chao has not come back, it stands to reason that Ma Chao is riding a horse to lead the troops forward, faster, and can return faster after passing the decree, but now Ma Chaoqian has not returned, which makes Ma Teng feel bad in his heart.
In the hall, Ma Teng paced back and forth, very irritable.
He had sent soldiers to inquire about the news, but there was still no news, no news that would make him happy. This result made Ma Teng very worried, from the very beginning, Ma Teng opposed Ma Chao as an envoy, but Ma Chao swore by it, Ma Teng agreed, and now Ma Chao is gone, Ma Teng's heart is difficult to calm down.
Outside the hall, there was a sound of footsteps.
Ma Teng saw an attendant running in, and hurriedly asked, "Is there any news of Meng Qi?" ”
The attendant shook his head and said, "General, Your Majesty has sent someone to inform you to go to the palace immediately, saying that there is an urgent matter." ”
When Ma Teng heard this, he chuckled in his heart, and felt that it was not good.
Liu Xie hurriedly sent someone to let him attack, it must be that Ma Chao had a problem, thinking of this, Ma Teng immediately ordered: "Prepare the horse, I will enter the palace immediately." As he spoke, Ma Teng turned around and walked to the backyard, he went to the backyard to change into court clothes again, and then left the general's mansion and rushed to the palace.
In the palace, Liu Xie sat directly above the main hall, and Xu Huang and Yang Feng sat below.
Ma Teng bowed to Liu Xie and said, "The last general, Ma Teng, meet Your Majesty!" As he spoke, he bowed down again and saluted to show his respect for Liu Xie.
Liu Xie asked Ma Teng to sit down and said: "Ma Qing, Xu Huang has returned from going to Cao Ying to deliver the message, but Meng Qi has not heard any news yet, I asked Yang Qing to send soldiers to find out the news, and I have heard that Meng Qi was left in the army by Wang Can, and it is difficult to return." Obviously, Meng Qi was detained by Wang Can, Wang Can is a loyal minister on the surface, but he is a traitor of the country, and he came to you to let you lead the troops to attack Wang Can and rescue Meng Qi, what do you think? ”
When Ma Teng heard that Ma Chao was detained, his heart suddenly became anxious.
He didn't think about it, so he agreed directly and said, "Your Majesty, the last general will go and order all the soldiers and horses to kill Wang Can." ”
Liu Xie nodded and waved his hand to signal Ma Teng to leave.
After a pause, Liu Xie looked at Yang Feng again and said, "Yang Qing, you and Xu Huang led the troops to suppress the formation, and followed closely behind Ma Teng. When Ma Teng and Wang Can are in the middle of the battle, you will lead the troops to kill again, kill Wang Can by surprise, and defeat Wang Can. ”
After Yang Feng heard this, he hugged his fists and said, "The last general will obey the order!" ”
After finishing speaking, Yang Feng turned around and left, leaving the palace with Xu Huang.
Liu Xie watched Yang Feng leave, his thin cheeks showed a trace of worry, Wang Can did not accept the order, and continued to lead the troops to Chang'an, which made Liu Xie angry. However, Wang Can's strength was strong, and Liu Xie could only hope for Ma Teng and Yang Feng, hoping that the two would lead the Xiliang army to make contributions and defeat Wang Can in one fell swoop.
