Yanzhou.
Cao Cao and his strategists were discussing in the hall!
"The emperor has moved to Luoyang, and all the vassals are watching. What do you think I should do?”
Cao Cao paced back and forth with his hands behind his back.
"During the Spring and Autumn Period, Duke Wen of Jin accepted King Xiang of Zhou, causing all the vassals to submit to him. Emperor Gaozu of Han Dynasty mourned for Emperor Yi, and the whole world returned to him.”
"Now that the Son of Heaven is in trouble, it is time for the Lord to take advantage of the situation and serve the Son of Heaven to satisfy everyone's expectations.”
Cheng Yu talked about the situation.
"Hahahaha! Zhong De's words are exactly what I want!" Cao Cao laughed loudly. Cheng Yu's words were exactly what he was thinking. If he succeeded, he would be able to reach the heavens in one step.
"The dukes will stop and watch. Once someone got there first, they would definitely miss the opportunity! The opportunity will pass soon. Your Majesty, you must act decisively.”Xun Yu cupped his hands and said.
Cao Cao felt helpless.
At this moment, Emperor Xian was in Luoyang. He had the heart to help the king, but without the imperial edict, he did not dare to act rashly. If they rashly sent troops, wouldn't that be going against their words?
Just as Cao Cao was in a dilemma.
"My lord!"
A soldier excitedly walked in and knelt down to report.
"The emperor has sent a historian!"
"Oh?"
"Haha…"
Cao Cao, Xun Yu, and Cheng Yu looked at each other and smiled.
"Please!"
Cao Cao shouted.
Soon, Emperor Xian's envoy walked in.
"Cao Cao, the herdsman of Yanzhou, accepts the decree." The envoy said firmly.
"This lowly subject listens to the decree."
Cao Cao and the others knelt down to receive the decree.
"I've been through a mutiny, so I've returned to the Eastern Capital and changed the year title to Jian 'an. Cao Cao received the grace of the country for generations and ordered him to enter the capital on a certain date to assist the government. There must be no mistakes! I…"
Cao Cao received the imperial edict.
"Cao Cao, the herdsman of Yanzhou, obeys." Cao Cao cupped his hands and said to the envoy.
The envoy cupped his hands in response and left.
A moment later, Cao Cao opened the imperial edict.
"Hahahaha! This is God's blessing, God's help, once the edict arrives, the great event can be completed, God will fulfill people's wishes, just in line with my wishes! Hurry up and prepare. I'll see you today!" Cao Cao said proudly.
He was just thinking of a reason to help the king, but now that the imperial edict had arrived, he could naturally send troops.
"Understood!"
Cheng Yu and Xun Yu said loudly.
Luoyang.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
A guard rushed into the main hall, kneeling and cupping his hands, his face filled with panic.
"Your Majesty, Li Jue and Guo Si's army have broken through General Xu's checkpoint and are charging towards Luoyang.”
"Ah!"
Emperor Xian panicked. He had not expected Li Jue, Guo Si, and the others to break through Xu Huang's barrier so quickly.
"What should we do when the traitors are approaching? I wonder when Cao Cao will arrive in the capital." Emperor Xian asked the ministers in a panic.
His Highness's ministers were also in a state of discussion.
"Your Majesty!"
At this moment, Yang Biao stood up and cupped his hands. It is better for Your Majesty to temporarily abandon Luoyang and quickly travel east in order to join Cao Cao. To avoid any mishaps."
"Sigh, it seems that this is the only way. Make preparations quickly, and we'll set off for the east tomorrow morning.”
Emperor Xian also sighed. If it was not a last resort, he would never abandon Luoyang. After all, this was the imperial capital that he had come back to build.
"Yes!"
The ministers cupped their hands.
……
Li Jue's camp.
"Before Cao Cao arrives, we should take Luoyang as soon as possible. At that time, we have the emperor in our hands. What can the Cao army do to me?”Li Jue waved his hand, his face filled with killing intent.
At this moment, he was still resentful that Emperor Xian had escaped. If Emperor Xian was captured by him, he would definitely make him pay.
Now that Cao Cao had come to rescue the king, if he controlled Emperor Xian, then even if Cao Cao brought a large army, it would be in vain.
"My lord, the Cao army will arrive sooner or later. There will be a battle with our army. Cao Cao's soldiers were more elite and brave than before. My lord, why don't you go with the flow and surrender to Cao Cao?”
Jia Xu analyzed.
"How dare you destroy my spirit? I'll kill you first!”
Li Jue shouted at Jia Xu and pulled out his saber, preparing to kill him.
"General, please calm down."
Li Jue's men stopped him.
"Uncle, you can't kill the military counselor in vain." Li Jue's nephew, Li Bie, quickly said.
"Advisor Jun has contributed to Uncle's success."
"The great war is imminent, he's messing up our morale. Logically speaking, it should be beheaded." Li Jue was still angry.
"Still not retreating." Li Jue's subordinate shouted at Jia Xu.
"Humph!"
Jia Xu angrily flicked his sleeves and left!
"Whoever disobeys me, no matter who they are or what contributions they have made, I will kill them!”
Li Jue brandished his broadsword and shouted at Jia Xu's back.
Li Jue's actions had truly broken Jia Xu's heart and made him feel disheartened.
It was fine if he was not accepted, but he almost lost his life.
"Judging from the situation, I know that these mobs will not be able to achieve great things.”
Then, Jia Xu left without saying goodbye and headed south, preparing to join Zhang Xiu…
The next day.
Emperor Xian led his ministers and army out of the city gates, planning to quickly meet up with Cao Cao.
Unexpectedly, not long after they left the city gate.
Li Jue and Guo Si's army arrived.
"Ah! Ah! Ah!"
Emperor Xian's army was being slaughtered by Li Jue and Guo Si's army.
At this moment, Emperor Xian was also hiding in the carriage, trembling.
"General, you must stop them. I will retreat with His Majesty.”
After Dong Cheng finished speaking to Yang Feng, he retreated with Emperor Xian.
The two armies continued to fight, and it was a chaotic scene. More and more soldiers were stabbed and fell to the ground.
Emperor Xian was waiting in a safe place.
Dong Cheng rode back.
"Your Majesty, Cao Cao is leading his troops to rescue you!”Dong Cheng dismounted and cupped his hands.
Emperor Xian also nodded excitedly." General Cao is indeed a minister of the country. The Han Dynasty that I have worked so hard to support has hope."”
On the battlefield.
"I didn't expect Cao Cao to come so quickly!”
Seeing Cao Cao's majestic army charging at them, Li Jue panicked.
"Retreat."
Even though he was unwilling, Cao Cao's army had arrived and he had no choice but to retreat.
With Li Jue's command, the soldiers retreated.
Cao Cao's camp.
Under the persuasion of his strategists, Cao Cao no longer pursued Li Jue and Guo Si.
Right now, his main goal was to enter Luoyang and assist the emperor.
"Lord, raising the righteous army to eliminate the riots and entering the court to assist the emperor is the credit of the five tyrants. However, Luoyang had been destroyed for a long time. Generals, on the other hand, have different opinions and may not obey orders. If I stay in the eastern capital now, I'm afraid it'll be inconvenient!"
Cheng Yu analyzed.
"Do you think that moving to Xuchang is the best policy?”Cao Cao asked.
"That's right!" Cheng Yu cupped his hands and said.
"Then we'll do as you say!"
Cao Cao felt that what Cheng Yu said made sense and agreed. In fact, Cao Cao already had this intention.
Xu Capital was in Yanzhou and was far away from Yuan Shao, Liu Ji, and the other dukes, which could prevent these people from attacking!
……
The next day, Cao Cao went to court and made great contributions to the king.
Cao Cao was granted the title of Si Li Colonel, with the power of Jie Yue, recording the affairs of the Book of History!
Cao Cao was naturally overjoyed.
Then Cao Cao proposed to Emperor Xian to move the capital to Xuchang.
After a series of rebuttals, Emperor Xian was convinced by Cao Cao.
Emperor Xian could only move the capital to Xuchang.
……
News of Cao Cao's successful rescue and bringing Emperor Xian to Xuchang quickly spread.
Moling.
"I didn't expect Cao Cao to succeed in rescuing the king so quickly and bring Emperor Xian to Xuchang. This is beneficial for him to control the court!" Guo Jia analyzed.
"That's right! Cao Cao could be considered to have made a name for himself. In the future, he would have the power to dominate the court. Was he going to use the power in his hands to attack the various dukes?”
Zhang Zhao said with doubt.
"Cao Cao does have this idea, but he won't attack the powerful marquises for now. He will probably appease the stronger marquises! To attack and then attack the weak.”Liu Ji said indifferently.
"My lord, you're really insightful!"
Guo Jia cupped his hands at Liu Ji in admiration.
He originally had some clues, but now that Liu Ji could actually point it out, his admiration for Liu Ji was like a torrential river…
……
Jizhou.
"I didn't expect Cao Cao to be so quick to let him bring Emperor Xian back to Xuchang first! Sigh!" Yuan Shao sighed.
After Cao Cao obtained Emperor Xian, he was rewarded and had power over the court. Yuan Shao was also jealous.
Tian Feng and the other strategists were silent. Back then, they had asked Yuan Shao to save the Emperor, but he had not listened. Now, Emperor Xian was taken away by Cao Cao, and it was also his own doing…
Jing Zhou, Yi Zhou, Xi Liang and the other dukes did not care about this matter. Who cared who had power in the court? What did it have to do with them?
