Chapter 164

Cao Cao stood up, took two steps forward, grabbed Dong Zhao's hand, and said with a smile: "This is my original intention. But the ministers are in the court, Wang Yun, Yang Feng and others are all people who have made contributions in saving the Lord. I am afraid that this matter will be difficult to accomplish." It is impossible to say that Cao Cao's communication skills are indeed good. Especially Cao Cao's control of the distance between people is more accurate. He just took two steps forward and immediately brought the closeness to Dong Zhao.

At least Dong Zhao felt that Cao Cao really did not treat him as an outsider at this time, and discussed such a secret matter with him and asked for advice. For this reason, Dong Zhao also replied to Cao Cao: "This matter is easy. Wang Yun and Yang Feng returned from the escort. Wang Yun was commended by the emperor and presented it with the Grand Tutor of the dynasty. Yang Feng failed to fulfill his plan and was replaced by General Xiahou. Yang Feng had complaints at the time. The general could prepare a book to Yang Feng, so he should calm his heart first to restrain Wang Yun. Then he told the ministers clearly that he had no food in the capital and wanted to be lucky to Xudu, approach Luyang, and transport food so that he would not have any worries about lack of food. The ministers should be happy to follow him when they heard it."

Cao Cao thought this idea was really good. In this way, of course no one would object to moving the capital. But this way, wouldn’t it also expose his military food shortage at the same time. Cao Cao asked Dong Zhao cautiously: “If the princes heard that our army had no food, they came to attack each other. What should we do if we did?” Dong Zhao smiled and said, “If the weak ones are real, the weak ones are real.”

Cao Cao was also a military master and a master of exquisiteness. Of course, he could only tell me clearly. Now he clearly praised others who moved the capital to Xudu because he had no food. Of course, others would naturally think that as long as he arrived in Xudu, the problem of his shortage of military food would be solved. In this way, even if the news of his shortage of military food leaked, it would not cause any harm to him. Cao Cao was overjoyed and talked to Dong Zhao. When the two of them were happy, when Dong Zhao thanked him for parting, Cao Cao held his hand and said, "All Cao had plans, only the prefectures would be taught." Dong Zhao thanked him with satisfaction and left.

Turning around, Cao Cao secretly discussed the move of the capital with all the advisers on Dong Zhaozhi's proposal. Xu You said: "Now Dong Zhuo is dead, and the rest of his troops are in chaos and are powerless to invade our territory. You can ask others to submit a statement to the general and hold the position of Dong Zhuo as prime minister. The current emperor is held hostage by Dong Zhuo for many years, and he will definitely agree. In this way, the general holds the great ears of the ministers, which can be convenient for you." He has made up his mind to make a decision and act separately. With Cao Cao's current strength in Luoyang, he naturally easily obtained the position of prime minister.

Coincidentally, at this time, the Grand Historian Wang Li, who was in charge of his purpose, said privately to Liu Ai, the new Zongzheng who succeeded Liu Yu, "I looked up at the sky. Since I went to the spring, Taibai was invading the Zhenxing in the bullfighting, and passed Tianjin, and Yinghuo went against the flow. When Taibai met at Tianguan, gold and fire, there would be a new emperor. I saw that the Han Dynasty was about to end, and there would be a prosperous place in the Jin and Wei places." At the same time, Wang Li also bypassed Cao Cao and secretly told the emperor: "The destiny of heaven will be gone, but the five elements are not always prosperous. Fire is the earth. Those who have the world in the Han Dynasty should be in Wei."

But how could this little move be hidden from Cao Cao? As soon as Cao Cao heard the report, he immediately asked someone to tell Wang Li: "I know that the public is loyal to the court, but the way of nature is far-reaching, so please do not say too much." However, what Cao Cao didn't know was that Wang Li's family had moved to Youzhou as early as the Luoyang Rebellion and was enjoying his happiness at Liu Bin. Cao Cao was a little proud of this and asked Xi Zhicai for this.

This Xi Zhicai also involves astronomy. She has followed Cao Cao for many years. Of course, she knew that this time was the time to encourage Cao Cao. Therefore, Xi Zhicai also said happily: "The Han Dynasty is the King of Fire and the Ming Gong is the destiny of earth. Maybe they belong to earth, and they will prosper when they come. Fire can produce earth, and earth can prosper wood: it is consistent with the words of Dong Zhao and Wang Li. There will be those who will prosper in the future." This time, Cao Cao's intention became even stronger.

The next morning, Cao Cao submitted a memorial saying: "The Eastern Capital has been abandoned for a long time and cannot be repaired; it is also difficult to transport food. Xu Du is near Luyang, with city walls, palaces, money, grain, and people. It is enough to be used. I dare to ask the emperor to be lucky to Xu Du, but Your Majesty follows it."

When the emperor heard Cao Cao say this, the emperor's face was green. Cao Cao was too disrespectful. He was so arrogant. He thought that he had made contributions to saving the lord, and now he was promoted to a prime minister. Cao Cao was a general and was worthy of him. Why did someone say yesterday that the fortune of the Han Dynasty was about to end, and the fire was the earth, so he dared to talk nonsense today? Could he want to learn from Dong Zhuo's second place? Thinking of this, the emperor trembled. The anger was gone. The rest was scared.

This emperor was also pitiful. It was not bad when he was the prince. But since he became the emperor, he was constantly bullied by Dong Zhuo. He had not had a good life for a day. He finally escaped from Dong Zhuo. He was intercepted and chased. The most dangerous time was that if it weren't for the servant Yang Qi Zhongyi who changed his clothes and sat in the car for the emperor, and let the emperor hide elsewhere. The emperor would have explained that time.

However, this made the emperor know that Dong Zhuo is not the only one who dares to kill the emperor in this world. There are too many people who are concerned about taking the emperor's life. Therefore, the emperor dares to lose his temper now to those loyal ministers, but the emperor really dares to offend those ministers who are not ambiguous. The emperor has a fear of Cao Cao, so he dares not argue with Cao Cao. Instead, he looks at the ministers below. The emperor pitifully hopes that one or two of his ministers can stand up for him.

But the emperor's idea was wrong. If the emperor's attitude was tough at this time, the emperor's self-confessional guards who could not bear it could bear it and would stand up to help the emperor speak. These famous scholars joined forces, although they could not do anything to Cao Cao, they would definitely put some pressure on Cao Cao and make Cao Cao's future behavior restrain himself.

But now the emperor doesn't speak. These ministers in Luoyang are even more afraid to speak. Those who have high reputations and have not formally surrendered to Cao Cao, would have been under house arrest and controlled for a long time. They know Cao Cao's interests. The officials in charge of various middle-level departments were almost replaced by Cao Cao. Those small officials with small positions and small words were light, and there was no room for them to speak at this time. Moreover, Cao Cao could understand that moving the capital was not for anything else, but because Luoyang had no food. If he didn't want to move the capital, he would have to starve and starve to death. None of these officials were fools, and of course he believed that Cao Cao could say it.

It was done. Moreover, these officials also understood that they were opposed to Cao Cao's proposal now. How to oppose it? If they wanted to oppose it, they had to solve the current difficulty of no food. Nowadays, who can transform food from civil and military officials in the dynasty? The food in Luoyang has always been maintained by Liu Bin of Youzhou. But since Yuan Shao and Liu Bin were against each other, Youzhou has not been transported to food. Now the food in Luoyang cannot be maintained, and can only rely on Cao Cao. Moreover, Cao Cao has controlled Sili. Youzhou will no longer be able to maintain the supply of Luoyang in the future. In order to avoid being hungry in the future, he can only listen to Cao Cao.

As a result, the emperor and his ministers became lazy and lazy, and they stared at each other. There was no word between them. The attitude of the ministers in turn affected the emperor. The emperor became even more afraid. He didn't know who was on his side in the court and the country. However, without words, it would not solve the problem. Cao Cao was still waiting here. The emperor could only agree to Cao Cao choose an auspicious day to move the capital.

Cao Caomei. This is really what he wants. Now, who dares to go against him?

After Cao Cao returned to his home, someone reported that Cao Cao and Liu Bei sent the "Fire Dragon". After Cao Cao tried it, the effect was exactly the same as what Liu Bei said. Cao Cao was even more proud. Cao Cao's military qualities were much better than Liu Bei. When he saw this thing, he knew that this thing was definitely a treasure. As long as it could be used on a large scale, whether it was defending the city, siege, or sticking to the key points, it was an absolute weapon. Even arson at night was arson, which was a great thing. However, Cao Cao was still a non-technical person after all, and he didn't know the difficulty of imitating this thing, nor did he know the lack of turbulent oil.

As a result, Cao Cao ignored it. He did not ask the Liu Bei who was always crying in detail. Instead, he ordered people to find a top craftsman to solve the problem. Moreover, when Cao Cao mocked Liu Bei for being blind and not knowing the treasure, he finally canceled his guard against Liu Bei. He thought that Liu Bei was just like this. He was also a useful person who sincerely defected to him. When Emperor Xian set up a dynasty, Cao Cao also expressed Liu Bei's military achievements as promised and recommended Liu Bei to pay homage to the emperor.

The emperor was unhappy about the people introduced by Cao Cao, and he didn't want to pay attention to the people he introduced to Cao Cao, but he was afraid of Cao Cao's power. He had to Xuan Zhao. Liu Bei knew that today was a big day to meet the emperor. The first impression of his appearance was particularly important. Therefore, Liu Bei cleaned up today, and he was full of all the clothes, court boots, and official hats. And he was all new.

Not to mention, Liu Bei's skill was really not in vain. When Liu Bei bowed to Danmu, he shouted long live. The emperor saw that Liu Bei was quite fond of love. Especially Liu Bei's respect for the emperor, which made the emperor find a long-lost feeling. In order to make this feeling more obvious, the emperor specially announced Liu Bei to the palace and asked with a smile: "Who is the ancestor of you?"

Liu Bei was fond of it and quickly replied: "I am the descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan, the great-grandson of Emperor Xiaojing, the grandson of Liu Xiong, and the son of Liu Hong." When the emperor heard Liu Bei say this, the emperor felt aroused his heart at that time. The emperor quickly taught people to check the clan genealogy and asked Zong Zhengqing to read it.

Liu Bei's life experience had been filled by Liu Yu long ago, so there was no possibility of any mistake. At that time, the Zong Zhengzhengqing read: "Emperor Xiaojing gave birth to fourteen sons. The seventh son was Liu Sheng, the King of Jing of Zhongshan. Sheng gave birth to Liu Zhen, the Marquis of Luchengting, and Zhen gave birth to Liu Ang, the Marquis of Pei, and Liu Lu, the Marquis of Zhang, and Liu Lian gave birth to Liu Ying, the Marquis of Qinyang, and Liu Jian, the Marquis of Anguo, and Liu Ai, the Marquis of Guangling, and Liu Xian gave birth to Liu Xian, the Marquis of Jiaoshui, and Liu Shu, the Marquis of Zuyi, and Liu Shu, the Marquis of Qiyang, and Liu Yi, the Marquis of Qiyang, and Liu Bi, the Marquis of Yingchuan. Da gave birth to Liu Da, the Marquis of Fengling, and Liu Bu, the Marquis of Jichuan. Hui gave birth to Liu Xiong, the Marquis of Dongjun, and Liu Hong did not serve. Liu Bei was the son of Liu Hong."
