"Everyone, can you tell me something?"
Liu Xie just sat down and asked as usual. After he finished asking, he looked at Cao Cao.
He was afraid that Cao Cao would force him to do something again.
However, Cao Cao stood quietly aside, lowering his head and looking at his toes, as if there was nothing to bring up. Liu Xie slowly breathed a sigh of relief, because he was a little afraid of Cao Cao.
"I have something to report."
Dong Cheng was the first to step forward and said loudly: "I believe that after Dong Zhuo's rebellion, Henan Yin has long lost its previous prosperity. Luoyang is surrounded by desolate people and lacks people and food. It is almost impossible to recover in a short time. I think we should move the capital to a safer place and slowly rebuild Luoyang."
After hearing Dong Cheng's words, Cao Cao smiled slightly.
Dong Cheng is really afraid of death, and his husband is really powerful, and he has calculated everything clearly.
"Move the capital?"
When Liu Xie heard these two words, he seemed to have touched a sensitive place on his body, and he immediately trembled.
He was taken away by Dong Zhuo and forced to move the capital to Chang'an. He had been tortured enough. He finally returned to Luoyang and never wanted to leave. He wanted to die in Luoyang. When he heard Dong Cheng mentioned moving the capital, he felt extremely sad. resist.
Fu Wan agreed: "Your Majesty, what General Chariot and Cavalry said is not unreasonable. Luoyang is not a permanent residence. We currently rely on others for relief. There is not much food left. Henan Yin has no population. In the future, there will be no one to grow food. Stay. It doesn’t mean much to His Majesty.”
"One more thing, Luoyang is not far from Chang'an, and Li Jue and I may fight at any time."
Zhong Ji's words made Liu Xie tremble again.
He was as afraid of Li Jue and Dong Zhuo as he was of Dong Zhuo.
Dong Fen said: "Your Majesty, it's impossible not to move the capital! Staying in Luoyang will be of no benefit to Your Majesty."
This person is also one of the princes who was awarded a reward the day before yesterday.
Listening to their words, Liu Xie began to doubt life.
Especially after hearing that Li Jue and the others might fight.
This is correct. Luoyang is not far from Chang'an, so it will not be difficult for Li Jue and the others to defeat it.
What's more, before returning to Luoyang, Liu Xie had been hunted and had experienced several bloody battles. It was certain that Li Jue and the others did not want to let him go. The shabby Luoyang City should not be able to withstand the attack.
"Then...where should we go?"
Liu Xie asked and had to compromise.
"Xiangcheng in Yingchuan."
Dong Cheng said: "It is close to Nanyang and not far from Xiangyang. If there is danger, we can turn to Jingzhou Shepherd Liu Jingsheng. We are both from the Han Dynasty and will definitely not fail to help His Majesty."
Cao Cao's eyes lit up after hearing this.
Unexpectedly, Dong Cheng and others could think of the reason for moving the capital to Xiangyang.
However, the crossing is still very powerful. Going to Xiangyang is just a pretense. When the time comes, we will take the people directly to Xu County and the matter will be settled.
“Isn’t it possible in Jizhou?”
Liu Xie thought for a while and asked.
He doesn't seem to want to go south.
Dong Cheng said: "Your Majesty, I asked King Yuan Shaoqin, but he still refuses to come and has no respect. How can he be willing to accept us to Jizhou?"
This makes sense.
Liu Xie kept thinking that he really didn't want to move the capital, but the current situation seemed to force him to move the capital.
"Cao Qing, what do you think?"
Liu Xie suddenly turned his attention to Cao Cao.
When Dong Cheng and others saw this, they snorted coldly in their hearts. Asking Cao Cao was in vain. Moving the capital was Cao Cao's plan. They were inviting a wolf into the house.
"I think it makes sense."
Cao Cao pretended to think and said loudly: "If your Majesty really wants to move the capital to Yingchuan, I can guarantee that your Majesty will not be in any danger anymore, and you don't have to worry about insufficient food and other troubles. I will do my best to protect your majesty."
After receiving this sentence, Liu Xie thought that Cao Cao was a little rude the day before yesterday, but he was still very loyal.
It should be trustworthy.
"Your Majesty, please move the capital!"
Fu Wan and others said in unison at this time.
They can't do this. Once Cao Cao leaves, they will be dead.
Even if Liu Xie disagrees, they are prepared to use force to force him to agree to move the capital.
"this……"
Liu Xie was struggling in his heart, but at the end of the struggle, he said helplessly: "I'm right!"
It's already like this, and it's still forced by the ministers, even if it doesn't want to move the capital.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Everyone said in unison.
Cao Cao said: "Since Your Majesty is going to Yingchuan, I should also go back to make preparations. Please rest assured, Your Majesty, there is no danger as I am here."
In this way, the method of forcing the capital to be moved was transferred to Dong Cheng and others.
He wanted to laugh now, but he had to hold back.
It’s not time to get carried away yet.
"Thank you, Mr. Cao, for this matter!"
After Liu Xie said this, he felt a lot exhausted.
This is the only solution.
——
Cao Cao returned to the camp and told Chen Zhou about today's situation.
Chen Zhou said with satisfaction: "It's almost done. My lord has made arrangements. We can take the emperor away and go back around Liang County. The route must be planned by us. In addition, when we go around Liang County, Yang Feng will definitely come to chase us. All I will deal with the pursuers."
"Would it be a bit cruel if we killed Yang Feng too?"
Cao Ren asked.
Chen Zhou suddenly laughed, shook his head and said, "Being kind to your enemies means being cruel to yourself. Once the emperor leaves, they will all be our enemies and must be eradicated, otherwise there will be endless trouble."
"If you talk about kindness in troubled times, General Cao will get himself killed!"
"If the master wants to be a traitor, he should not have any thoughts of mercy."
he said again.
Cao Cao affirmed: "Zi Xiao, listen to those who cross over, and those who cross over will cut off the queen. What do you need?"
"Just give me five thousand people!"
"Zhang Yang, Han Xian and Yang Feng join forces and there are more than 30,000 people. Is it really feasible to cross 5,000 people?"
"feasible."
Chen Zhou affirmed.
Cao Cao brought King Qin's troops, about 20,000 men.
They were all selected and trained elites from the 300,000 surrendered Yellow Turban soldiers.
The Yellow Turban Army had mixed qualities, some good and some bad. They were all thieves and undisciplined, and the surrendered soldiers were even more chaotic.
Cao Cao could only select some of them, train them severely, and then undergo training on the battlefield, and now he has what he has now.
"Yuan Rang, Wen Cheng."
"Follow Watanabe."
"Lao Dian, you are responsible for protecting Du Zhi."
"Everyone else, get ready, we are about to return to Yingchuan."
Cao Cao said loudly.
"yes!"
Xiahou Dun, Li Dian and Dian Wei said in unison.
"The next step is to cross it."
Cao Cao said politely.
Chen Zhou nodded slightly and was thinking about what to do next. When he had almost thought about it, he went back to the tent to rest and wait for the day of moving the capital.
Time flies, and another three days have passed.
The day of moving the capital has finally come.
When Chen Zhou got up early in the morning, he saw the army being mobilized, and then rushed to Luoyang City Gate.
At this time, Liu Xie led the officials out of the city gate and met Cao Cao's army head on.
"Cao Qing, I'm in trouble."
Liu Xie said reluctantly.
Cao Cao solemnly said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to be polite. This is what I should do. Zi Lian, take five thousand people to protect your Majesty. We will leave as soon as possible."
Hearing that Cao Cao protected him so solemnly, Liu Xie felt even more stable and believed that Cao Cao was really a loyal person.
