Even if Cao Cao built the palace in advance, it would not be completed so quickly.
When the emperor came to Xudu, he temporarily stayed in a temporary house, while Fu Wan and other officials were about the same.
At this time, Dong Cheng, who was very dissatisfied with Cao Cao, called everyone together to discuss what should be done next.
The capital move has been completed. They fell from the hands of Guo Si and Cao Cao. Although Cao Cao's performance was very different from that of Dong Zhuo and others, and he seemed to respect them, they did not intend to surrender like this. .
It was so difficult to take the emperor away from Chang'an and back to Luoyang in the east. They all wanted to get rid of all control and support the emperor, and did not want Cao Cao to hold the emperor hostage to order the princes.
"What should we do?"
Wu Shuo asked first.
They were forced to follow Cao Cao unwillingly, thinking how to resist.
Wang Zifu said: "If you want to deal with Cao Cao, you must introduce another person to compete with Cao Cao. I think Yuan Shao is the most suitable."
"No, not Yuan Shao."
Dong Fen shook his head and said: "We asked Yuan Shao to come to King Luoyang Qin before, but Yuan Shao ignored us. Now he may not pay attention to us. Even if Yuan Shao is really willing to come, he will not stay in Xudu. He will definitely take the emperor with him. Isn’t it true that Yecheng has entered the tiger’s mouth again?”
"Liu Jingsheng of Jingzhou is at odds with Yuan Shu, so I'm afraid he won't be able to come."
Wu Zilan said: "Otherwise, as Liu Jingsheng is a clan member of the Han Dynasty, he will have a lot less worries."
"A clan member of the Han Dynasty?"
Dong Cheng muttered these four words for a while, and then suddenly said: "I remembered a person who claimed to be Prince Jing of Zhongshan. He had a reputation for benevolence and loyalty to the Han Dynasty. When the Yellow Turbans caused chaos, he recruited local braves to fight against the Yellow Turbans. Later, Dong Zhuo rebelled. This man led his two sworn brothers to fight against Lu Bu at Hulao Pass, showing extraordinary valor."
Fu Wan thought about who this person was and asked, "Could it be Liu Bei and Liu Xuande who came to save Xuzhou and led Xuzhou after Tao Xuzhou's death?"
"That's right!"
Dong Cheng nodded and said: "There are rumors outside that Liu Xuande Renyi is also the emperor's uncle. He owns the land of Xuzhou and has military power. He may be able to compete with Cao Cao."
Ding Chong agreed: "I also think this person can be used."
Dong Cheng added: "I will arrange for someone to go to Xuzhou later, contact Liu Xuande secretly, and then suggest that the emperor issue an edict to summon him to Yingchuan. I want to see if Cao Mengde dares to directly disobey the emperor's edict and not let Liu Xuande come."
"This is a great plan!"
Everyone else agreed.
——
Yecheng.
When Yuan Shao received the news that Cao Cao had taken away the emperor, his face suddenly became gloomy, as if he felt betrayed by Cao Cao.
Jushu and others in the hall were all silent.
"Lord!"
After being quiet for a long time, Tian Feng was the first to say: "Cao Cao must have done this because he wanted to break away from the control of his lord. Otherwise, he would not have been able to move the capital with the emperor. If Cao Cao is allowed to grow, it will be very detrimental to us. Cao Cao is definitely a threat. .”
The last time we discussed Cao Cao, Tian Feng strongly believed that Cao Cao must be dealt with first.
But Guo Tu believed that Cao Cao would be afraid of Yuan Shao and would be worthless in front of Yuan Shao. The biggest enemy at present is Gongsun Zan, not Cao Cao.
But what Cao Cao is doing now seems to be a slap in Guo Tu's face.
Tian Feng spoke at this time and also slapped him in the face.
Guo Tu knew that he could not remain silent and had to save his face. After Tian Feng finished speaking, he immediately retorted: "Cao Cao is just a mere lucky man who occupies a position and poses no threat to the lord. He just welcomed the emperor, but the people around the emperor , are you willing to obey him? In addition, if the lord wants to get the emperor, he only needs to send troops to suppress the situation, and Cao Cao will send the emperor to him with both hands."
Hearing this, Yuan Shao's anger decreased a lot.
Yuan Shao could feel that Cao Cao's intention to break away from him was obvious.
He absolutely cannot let this happen, but as Guo Tu said, by taking the emperor away, can he escape from himself? It's not that easy. People around the emperor may not obey Cao Cao's orders.
This was one of the reasons why he was unwilling to go to King Qin.
The emperor's side was surrounded by complex elements.
There is no need for him to bring back these complex ingredients and cause trouble.
Feng Ji echoed: "With the lord's ability and strength, Cao Cao is not afraid. Maybe he is still worried that welcoming the emperor will make the lord unhappy, so he is trying every means to appease the lord's mood."
"My lord, don't be careless when it comes to Cao Cao."
Tian Feng insisted: "Gongze and Yuan Tu will delay the lord. If Cao Cao is allowed to develop, it will be really detrimental to us."
After hearing Tian Feng's rebuttal, Feng Ji was very dissatisfied and said: "Will we delay the lord? This is impossible. I think Tian Yuanhao, you are making a mountain out of a molehill. Our top priority is to annex Youzhou first instead of dealing with Cao Cao. The eldest son captured The news about Qingzhou came back yesterday. We have occupied three of the four northern states. Next, we should attack Youzhou with all our strength instead of entangled with Cao Cao."
"Yuan Tu makes sense."
Guo Tu echoed: "As for Cao Cao, as long as the lord gives him an order, he dare not obey it obediently?"
"you……"
Tian Feng wanted to say something more, but Jushu pulled the corner of his clothes to indicate that it was inconvenient to say any more.
Guo Tu and others had a thorough understanding of Yuan Shao's character, and all they knew was flattery.
The most important thing is that Yuan Shao likes this kind of flattery very much, likes to be flattered, and doesn't like to listen to persuasion. If good advice is offensive to the ears, he will not listen to good advice.
Jushou and Tianfeng shook their heads helplessly.
"You are right!"
The gloom on Yuan Shao's face gradually receded, and he completely listened to the flattery of Guo Tu and the others.
On the contrary, Tian Feng's advice was off-putting, and he felt it was an insult to himself.
As for the other counselors, they dare not say anything now.
I am afraid that Yuan Shao will be dissatisfied.
"Lord!"
At this time, a soldier came in and said, "We just got the letter from Cao Cao and the emperor's edict."
Yuan Shao: "..."
"Bring it up quickly!"
Seeing Cao Cao, this little brother, he has not forgotten himself and still regards himself as his big brother.
As soon as I brought the emperor back, someone immediately sent an edict.
Someone sent letters and edicts, and Yuan Shao couldn't wait to open them and read them. Then loud laughter echoed in the meeting hall.
"May I ask, my lord, has Cao Mengde bowed his head directly to us?"
Guo Tu asked with a smile.
Yuan Shao laughed and said: "That's right, he bowed his head and asked the emperor to appoint me as a general to lead the affairs of the four northern states. Now among the four northern states, there is only Youzhou left. It seems that I want to conquer Youzhou as soon as possible. Beat it down."
The moment he saw the edict and letter, Yuan Shao put all worries behind him, let alone Cao Cao.
Feeling great.
"Congratulations, lord!"
Guo Tu and the others flattered.
Tian Feng and Jushu sighed secretly, feeling that Yuan Shao's greatest achievement was to capture Youzhou, nothing more.
