684, Cao Cao's means

In fact, in addition to giving Zhu Wei an official, Cao Cao also pretended to invite Zhu Wei to the Xudu Imperial Court in the name of the Son of Heaven.

Although the Son of Heaven gave Zhu Wei the official position of Taiwei and the real power to record Shang Shushi, this position can only be useful after Zhu Wei goes to Xudu, if Zhu Wei does not go, it will still be a false title.

In fact, now Cao Cao has crowned Zhu Wei, and these official positions are all positions once held by Zhu Wei's cheap father Zhu Jun.

Therefore, Cao Cao used the name of the Son of Heaven to hope that Zhu Wei would give up all external military power like Zhu Jun did back then, go to the Xudu Imperial Court alone, and be a civil servant accompanying the Son of Heaven.

Of course, Cao Cao could not let Zhu Wei take the opportunity to lead troops to Xudu, so he specifically explained that according to the Han military system, Zhu Wei, as a hussar general, could only bring two guards into Beijing at most, otherwise he would be convicted of rebellion.

But it is naturally impossible for Zhu Wei to accept this, Cao Cao obviously has bad intentions, so he wants Zhu Wei to follow his cheap father Zhu Jun, give up the military power outside, and go to the court of the Son of Heaven alone to be controlled by others.

It's just that on the bright side, the reason given by Cao Cao seems to be very legitimate, first he greatly boasted about Zhu Jun in the name of the Son of Heaven, and talked about many old things about Zhu Jun entering Chang'an alone, and now he is greatly boasting about Zhu Wei's exploits, anyway, Zhu Wei inherited Zhu Jun's loyalty and patriotism, and he is not Zhu Jun's son.

If Zhu Wei does not agree to go to Beijing, it is ill-intentioned, and more importantly, he is unfilial and cannot be as loyal as Zhu Jun.

This really gave Zhu Wei a troublesome problem, Zhu Wei would definitely not go to Xudu alone, but how to find an excuse was very difficult.

In addition, the envoy of the Son of Heaven appointed by Cao Cao this time is also a secret move, this envoy of the Son of Heaven is a famous madman in history, You Heng, this is an open-mouthed character.

Originally, in history, this You Heng should have died, because You Heng beat the drum and scolded Cao Cao in Xudu, which made Cao Cao very annoyed, but because he was a celebrity and could not be killed easily, Cao Cao deliberately asked You Heng to send Jingzhou to Liu Biao as an official, and wanted You Heng to go to Jingzhou to toss, the best thing is to let Liu Biao kill him, so as to bear the notoriety of killing celebrities.

And this You Heng still has a certain ability to do things, at first Liu Biao was satisfied with him, but after You Heng's nature was exposed, Liu Biao couldn't stand You Heng's stinky temper and big mouth, so Liu Biao sent him to Jiangxia Huangzu's side.

As a result, in 198 AD, You Heng was still open-mouthed on Huang Zu's side, and finally angered Huang Zu and was killed by Huang Zu's order.

But now because of the agitation of Zhu Wei's butterfly, Jingzhou was taken from Liu Biao early, so although this You Heng still offended Cao Cao before, Cao Cao didn't have a chance to stuff him to Liu Biao.

In this way, You Heng has survived until now, but he didn't expect Cao Cao to get him to Jingzhou Zhu Wei now.

Now that this You Heng, as the envoy of the Son of Heaven, has taken on a task to urge Zhu Wei to go to Beijing to take up his post, if Zhu Wei refuses to agree, then You Heng's mouth can play a role.

To be honest, Zhu Wei didn't expect Cao Cao to play such a trick, this is to make Zhu Wei's reputation stink.

But Zhu Wei knew that he knew about this situation, but how to deal with it still needed to use his brains, so for You Heng, who passed on the decree on behalf of the Son of Heaven, Zhu Wei's posture was polite.

Next, Zhu Wei specially arranged for Yang Hong to entertain You Heng, this Yang Hong's ability is average, but at least there is no problem in dealing with people.

Because of Yang Hong's loyalty and character problems, Zhu Wei has always restrained his position, and so far Yang Hong is only a staff member on Zhu Wei's side, although he can participate in Zhu Wei's military and political affairs, but he does not have any substantive powers.

This Yang Hong also seems to know that he may not be liked by Zhu Wei, but he is not willing to give up the opportunity to be a leader on Zhu Wei's side, so even if it is a mess, he has to mix it up first.

At the same time, every time Yang Hong could see Zhu Wei and come to participate in the meeting, he was also very positive, obviously Yang Hong was still trying his best to ponder Zhu Wei's temperament, trying to please Zhu Wei, so as to be useful on Zhu Wei's side.

It's a pity that Zhu Wei can see Yang Hong's loyalty, and so far his loyalty has only reached sixty-eight, which is only four points higher than the beginning, obviously Yang Hong still has no real heart to serve.

Therefore, although Zhu Wei did not completely cold Yang Hong on the surface, he still let him consult and deliberate, but secretly sent people from the school office to keep an eye on him, if he had anything to secretly communicate with foreign enemies, then he could use his means.

If this Yang Hong is really secretly fornicating with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, Zhu Wei may use Yang Hong's channels to send some false news to Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, and such anti-intermediary methods can also bring special effects.

It's just that this Yang Hong has never caught any trouble for Zhu Wei, obviously although he is not completely loyal to Zhu Wei, he doesn't seem to have any intention of fornicating with outsiders for the time being.

This time, Zhu Wei took advantage of the matter of You Heng to simply appoint Yang Hong as the Xiangyang Wine Ceremony, specifically responsible for entertaining foreign envoys and sending foreign affairs and other affairs.

After receiving the order, Yang Hong was very happy and showed a willingness to accept the position, and then he also came forward to entertain You Heng on behalf of Zhu Wei every day.

It just so happened that there were also celebrities such as Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan in Xiangyang, so Yang Hong also led You Heng to walk around Xiangyang to meet Xiangyang celebrities or something.

Although this You Heng has an upright and arrogant personality, likes to criticize current affairs, despises others, and looks down on many outstanding people in the world, even Xun Yu, the first strategist on Cao Cao's side, is regarded by him as a mourner with a crying face, but for some really talented characters, such as Kong Rong , Yang Xiu and the like, he can still make friends.

Now that he met Pang Degong, Huang Chengyan and other celebrities of the older generation in Jingzhou, You Heng finally gave some face, and when they met, they also showed the demeanor of a celebrity, without causing any embarrassment.

And Yang Hong is very good at complimenting people, so he also entertained Youheng, and he had no chance to bombard people with his mouth.

But things can't always be dragged on, so after Zhu Wei discussed with Jia Xu, Wang Yuyan, Liu Ye and other strategists, he simply decided to start the battle of Luoyang.

In the middle of February of 199 AD, Wei Yan, who had already been prepared, led the Jingnan battalion with more than 15,000 soldiers plus 5,000 logistics assistants, and set off from Wancheng, Nanyang, all the way to the north to Luoyang.

And Zhu Wei summoned You Heng again in Xiangyang, and expressed to You Heng Zhu Wei's official statement of repaying the Son of Heaven......
