For Chen Zhou, what happened today was almost like a blind date.
However, after the blind date, and some time passed, Cao Cao didn't mention it again, and Chen Zhou didn't take the initiative to mention it, so they did whatever they wanted.
Time flies quickly and it’s July.
Another news about the emperor came back.
The emperor completed his return eastward and returned to Luoyang.
However, Han Siam was arrogant and did whatever he wanted to disrupt the government.
Zhang Yang relied on his merits and named Liu Xie's palace Yang'an Palace.
Although they did not fight again and returned to Luoyang, temporarily maintaining stability, the conflicts accumulated deeper and deeper, and various overt and covert fights began. There was only one fuse left before they started fighting again, seriously damaging the reputation of Dong Cheng and other ministers. In order to benefit, Dong Cheng began to secretly invite the princes to come to the king.
First I went to Yuan Shao, but Yuan Shao just sent someone to take a look and left.
I don’t like Dong Cheng at all.
In desperation, Dong Cheng had to find Cao Cao.
When he saw the letter sent by Dong Cheng, Cao Cao smiled excitedly and said: "You're right about the transfer again. Yuan Shao doesn't want King Qin at all, haha..."
"You can continue to ask General Zilian to go north and keep in touch with Dong Zhao."
Guo Jia suggested: "According to Duzhi's plan, let Dong Zhao persuade Yang Feng to cooperate with us in Liang County, allowing our army to pass through Liang County and enter Luoyang, paving the way to welcome the emperor."
Cao Cao agreed: "What Fengxiao said is reasonable. Zilian continued to contact Dong Zhao. We gathered the soldiers and prepared to go to Luoyang. By the way... This time I also want to invite Duzhi to follow me to Luoyang, with Duzhi by my side. Guidance will make me feel at ease."
He quickly arranged everything and went to see Chen Zhou.
Of course, Chen Zhou agreed to follow him to welcome the emperor.
After two days, they reorganized their army and set off northward.
"Excuse me, Du Zhi, what should we do when we arrive in Luoyang?"
On the march, Cao Cao asked.
Chen Zhou said: "Do you have any information about the Emperor's recent affairs?"
"Fetched!"
Cao Cao shouted.
After a while, pieces of information written on cloth were delivered to Chen Zhou.
After reading it for a while, Chen Zhou had a general understanding of the situation around the emperor. Based on his prediction of history before traveling, he analyzed and said: "It is definitely impossible for us to take the emperor away directly. The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, and Han Xian and others definitely disagree, so we have to find a way. The differentiation I told Feng Xiao and others before can come in handy at this time."
Having said this, he paused for a moment, looked at the information on hand, and continued: "First separate the people around the emperor, such as Han Xian, Zhang Yang, etc. If they disrupt the government, the lord can petition the emperor to punish these two people, or even Let the emperor kill them."
Cao Cao and the others listened and nodded slightly.
Although Han Xian and others went too far, it is undeniable that they contributed a lot to the emperor's return to Luoyang.
This can separate the emperor's dependence on them and make it easier for him to intervene. After all, they are the ones who have been leading the troops to protect the emperor. Otherwise, the emperor would have been captured by Guo Si and others and taken back to Chang'an.
Now Zhang Yang and Han Xian need to be driven away from the emperor.
"Then what?"
Xun You asked.
Chen Zhou continued: "The emperor is definitely not willing to punish them severely, and will only give some mild punishment. In addition, the lord leads the troops to serve the king, and the emperor does not want to chill the lord's heart, so he will definitely use rewards to stabilize the situation." Live lord."
"In this way, the title of Lord will be established."
Guo Jia laughed and said: "Before this, my lord's Yanzhou Mu was obtained through Yuan Shao. Now it is justifiable and can be separated from Yuan Shao in name."
"That's right!"
Cao Cao said.
"besides."
Chen Zhou continued: "At this time, my lord can report the merits of Dong Cheng and others."
"Why?"
Cao Ren, who was following him, asked in confusion.
"Du Zhi did this because he wanted to draw Dong Cheng and others to our side."
Xun You understood Chen Zhou's thoughts as soon as he heard it, and helped explain: "We first offended Han Xian and others, and then asked for credit for Dong Cheng and others. This will further provoke conflicts between Dong Cheng, Han Xian and others. By the way, Winning the favor of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty is a preparation for the emperor to move the capital, right?"
Chen Zhou smiled and said: "Gongda understands me!"
"But it's not over yet."
"My lord still needs to kill a few people to establish his authority, firstly to frighten the emperor, and secondly to frighten the ministers."
He continued: "If you do this, then dividing the people around the emperor will be almost complete."
"good!"
Cao Cao clapped his hands and said.
If these three plans continue, Cao Cao can control the entire court.
He had to lament that he was lucky to have Chen Zhou's help. He had to arrange for Chen Zhou and Cao Shan to get married as soon as possible when he returned.
I can't wait any longer, and I can't wait any longer.
Chen Zhou must be turned into his own family.
"To do so much, we have to convince Yang Feng who is in Liang County. Otherwise, if he stops the troops stationed in Liang County, unless we attack him, King Qin will be in trouble. He may even join forces with Han Xian and Zhang Yang to keep us in Henan. Yin.”
Chen Zhou added: "Yang Feng is a man who loves achievements and is brave but not resourceful. Dong Zhao should be able to convince him. If the lord is worried, he can have someone else send some property to Yang Feng and deliberately show his kindness. As long as he can After passing through Liang County, no one can stop us."
Cao Cao pondered for a while and asked, "Is Zilian back?"
"General Zilian came back yesterday."
Xu Chu said.
Cao Cao said again: "Let Zi Lian bring more jewels. Don't be stingy, be generous. Then go to see Dong Zhao and meet Yang Feng through Dong Zhao."
Xu Chu immediately went to find Cao Hong.
Cao Cao led the army and continued to penetrate deeper.
After walking for several more days, we finally arrived outside Liang County.
"Brother!"
At this time, Cao Hong galloped back from the direction of Liang County and said with a smile: "It's done!"
"good!"
Cao Cao felt stable again.
What Chen Zhou said is now becoming reality one after another.
It’s really a great success!
Even Xun You and Guo Jia were looking at Chen Zhou with admiration.
"Let's pass through Liang County."
Cao Cao said first.
However, when passing by Liang County, Yang Feng came out to meet Cao Cao, and then passed smoothly. Not long after, everyone arrived near Luoyang.
Really, apart from Cao Cao, there is no one else who can be the King of Qin.
When Han Xian and others learned that Cao Cao was brought by Dong Cheng, and saw that Cao Cao's troops and horses were strong and his strength seemed to be strong, they immediately felt at ease and did not dare to do anything else.
Cao Cao did not enter the city immediately, but stationed outside the city first, waiting for the summons.
The second day of camp.
Dong Cheng is here.
He had no soldiers, so after he found Cao Cao, he wanted to use Cao Cao's soldiers to help him counterattack Han Siam.
"Cao Mengde!"
Dong Cheng came to the camp and said politely.
Cao Cao bowed his head and said, "I have seen a chariot and cavalry general."
"Mengde doesn't need to be polite."
Dong Cheng smiled and said: "I have summoned Mengde according to your majesty's order. I will go to the palace to see the emperor tomorrow. Is Mengde ready?"
Cao Cao solemnly said: "I'm ready. For the summons, General Chariot and Cavalry can just find someone to come. You don't have to come in person."
Seeing Cao Cao's attitude, Dong Cheng was extremely satisfied.
They stayed together and were polite for a while before Dong Cheng returned to the city.
Watching Dong Cheng leave, Cao Cao's eyes turned cold and he snorted in his heart, not taking this person to heart yet.
When he goes to the city tomorrow and meets the emperor, it's time for him to show off.
