Chapter 329: Cao Cao
"Sir, Meng De is fortunate not to be dishonored."
Cao Cao saw Lu Yao from a distance, laughed loudly and stepped forward, and without waiting to come to Lu Yao, he turned over and dismounted from a distance, and walked forward to greet him.
Lu Yao smiled faintly.
Cao Cao obviously took the great gift he gave very seriously. From Hangu Pass to Chenliu, not to mention the distance of thousands of miles, it will take time to capture Chenliu, even if there is a unique marching bonus of NPCs, it is not easy to fight back and forth in twenty days.
Welcoming Cao Cao into the pass and coming to the garrison camp, as soon as Lu Yao sat down, he immediately asked Cao Cao for the details of his expedition. Cao Cao did not hide it, and told it in detail.
In the end, he couldn't look back and said: "Fortunately, Chen Liuyi didn't know that a certain army was going to capture the city. If it weren't for that, how could someone take Chen Liu. ”
Lu Yao smiled with relief.
I have to admit that Cao Cao is indeed a hero, ruthless enough to the enemy, and ruthless enough to himself. Traveling thousands of miles and raiding Chen Liu's hands in a short period of time sounds simple, but in fact it is difficult.
The first is the march. Thousands of miles away, even if there is a marching bonus, Cao Cao's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses have to hurry all the way. Rapid marching is the most test of the quality of the army. Needless to say, when arriving in Chenliu, half of the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses left were considered a fluke, and it was not impossible to have only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, or even only a few thousand.
Secondly, Chenliu is a big city. As the former feudal state of Emperor Liu Xie, it is conceivable how strong the city defense is, how easy to defend and difficult to attack. And Cao Cao skillfully used Chen Liu's defenders to learn about the battle situation in Luoyang, so he stole the city and took Chen Liu, which highlighted Cao Cao's wisdom.
"Brother Meng De works hard, and he will rest for a few days." Lu Yao said with a smile: "This king will arrange it properly." ”
"Mr. Law." Cao Cao hurriedly got up and thanked him, and then went to rest with the school.
Five days later, there were many flags in Hangu Pass, and one of the dragon flags fluttered in the wind, indicating that Emperor Xian, who had stayed in Hangu Pass for more than a month, was about to leave.
"Brother Huang, Chen is far away, I ......" Emperor Xian cried with a small face, pulled Lu Yao's big sleeve, and looked nervous.
He's a puppet emperor. Before being taken to Chang'an by Dong Zhuo, only when he was coerced out of the palace by Zhang Rang during the rebellion of the Ten Standing Servants could he be regarded as a long trip. And now you need to travel thousands of miles to settle in Chenliu, and it would be a lie to say that you are not nervous.
"Back to the saint, the minister has made arrangements." Cao Cao explained in a high-spirited manner, and at the same time secretly cast a grateful look at Lu Yao.
Lu Yao didn't lie to him. Within these five days, Chen Liu's withdrawal from the country was made a county, and he was also crowned Chen Liutaishou. Now that I see that Emperor Xian has the intention of retreating, I don't know what to do with it.
"Holy Lord, Cao Taishou is loyal to the country, and his ministers are willing to vouch." Lu Yao sent another favor, but Cao Cao was so moved that he almost cut off the head of the chicken on the spot, burned yellow paper, and became brothers of the opposite sex.
Emperor Xian was guaranteed by Lu Yao, and he felt a little at ease, so he got into the car with the support of the two little yellow doors. At this time, Lu Yao glanced at Cao Cao, who was immediately overjoyed, and shouted almost in a trembling voice: "The Holy One is driving." ”
This one really shook the sky.
An army of millions is slowly marching out. Millions of people followed, and the young and strong acted as people's husbands, escorting grain and grass to carry heavy loads. The old and weak women and children were arranged to the end, and Lu Yao personally ordered Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and Zhang Liao and other three first-class generals to lead the army to take care of them.
These people were all resources that Xanadu City urgently needed, and he was reluctant to lose too much.
This migration is no better than Dong Zhuo's forced conquest of the whole Luoyang people to move to Chang'an, and it is not like Cao Cao rushing back to Chenliu to capture the city day and night, starting at sunrise and camping at sunset, and resting for an hour at noon. In addition to the long distance, the road was calm. Wherever the army passed, the officials of the cities sent grain and grass to reward the king's division.
Exactly two months later, the team arrived in Chenliu. As Cao Cao said, Chen Liucheng and outside the city are ready to welcome the emperor, and there are lights everywhere, full of joy.
Cao Cao personally welcomed Emperor Xian into the palace rebuilt by the Taishou Mansion, and worked tirelessly to arrange accommodation for the accompanying officials, so busy that his feet did not touch the ground, but he had a smile on his face from beginning to end.
As night fell, Cao Cao welcomed Lu Yao into the Taishou Mansion adjacent to the palace and held a banquet to entertain this great benefactor.
It is of great significance to welcome the emperor into Chenliu. As a result, he was directly promoted from a small councillor to Chen Liutaishou, and became one of the powerful princes in one fell swoop. Second, with the emperor in hand, there will be enough capital to gain a foothold in the Central Plains.
"The previous time was shabby, snubbing sir. Mr. Today will not get drunk and will not return. Cao Cao laughed heartily and raised his hand to clapp.
The vocal music sounded, and a team of dancing girls arrived. Obviously, Cao Cao was specially selected, and these dancing girls are as beautiful as flowers, and they are in their youth, which is dizzying. It made Lu Yao curious, Cao Cao, a mature woman, actually changed his taste.
After enjoying the performance of the dancing girl, Lu Yao swept his gaze to the person Cao Cao specially brought to accompany him. Frankly speaking, after the bizarre influence of modern society, this kind of ancient dance is not to his taste. However, Cao Cao had so many subordinates in a short period of time, which made him doubly emotional.
NPCs are not the same as players.
The player is treated as an Inhuman by NPCs. In particular, NPCs with a bit of status look down on the player. Therefore, it is difficult for players to recruit talents with names and surnames. In comparison, it is much easier for NPCs to recruit NPCs. Take Cao Cao, for example.
Whenever they show their potential, all kinds of talents will come like moths to a fire. Cao Cao only needs to vaguely reveal his tone to become famous. Obviously, Cao Cao's thoughts were the same as he thought, and he quickly attracted a large number of supporters and established the status of a powerful prince.
Suddenly, Lu Yao noticed a gaze with hatred, and couldn't help but be surprised. When I looked closely, it was a young man in the front seat opposite, sickly, like a sick ghost, but his eyes were full of hatred, as if he had a grudge against him.
"Brother Mengde, who is this?" Lu Yao suddenly spoke up and interrupted the dancing girl's performance.
Cao Cao was not angry, waved off the dancing girl, got up and walked off the table, came to the young man, and introduced diligently: "This is Wei Zhongdao, the son of the Hedong Wei family, who is the descendant of Empress Xiaowuwei, who has learned and is a rare talent in the world." ”
Lu Yao was stunned.
Empress Xiaowuwei is the second empress of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Wei Zifu. This is not the point, and the focus is not on the Hedong Wei family, one of the four major merchants, but the name Wei Zhongdao. In history, it was this sick ghost who started Cai Yan's unfortunate journey.
In history, Cai Yan married Wei Zhongdao, but this thing died of illness early, leaving Cai Yan with no daughter. The Wei family is all kinds of unpleasant. So Cai Yan had to go back to her parents' house. Then Dong Zhuo rebelled in the country, and King Zuoxian of the Huns took the opportunity to go south, robbed her, and finally lived in Mobei for 12 years, and gave birth to two sons to King Zuoxian.
It wasn't until Cao Cao was full-fledged that he ransomed her back and matched her with Dong Xi. As a result, Dong Xi was killed and was convicted of betrayal. She had to intercede with Cao Cao again. The history records that "the unkempt head walks in vain, kowtows to ask for sin, the tone is clear, the purpose is very sad, and everyone is reformed". This allowed Dong Ci to escape.
In the final analysis, if it weren't for this short-lived ghost, Cai Yan in history would not be so unlucky.
"The king doesn't want to see him." Lu Yao smiled faintly.
Cao Cao was stunned. Wei Zhongdao was even more shocked and angry. The guests were all dumbfounded.
"The king doesn't want to see him." Lu Yao pointed at Wei Zhongdao, and his tone was calm.
"Come on, send Gongzi Wei back." Cao Cao was a hero after all, and immediately abandoned Wei Zhongdao, completely ignoring Chen Liu, and the Wei family made great efforts to give money and food.
didn't give Wei Zhongdao the slightest chance, the Xiahoudun brothers personally dragged Wei Zhongdao out, with a very clear attitude, and never angered Lu Yao.
"Sir, please." Cao Cao returned to the table as if nothing was going on, raising a glass and inviting wine. He didn't dare to introduce the other guests anymore. God knows who will have a personal vendetta with Lu Yao.
Lu Yao raised his glass with a smile, and was about to drink, when there was a sudden noise outside the hall, and a few shouts and curses vaguely floated away.
"King Zhuya came out ......"
