Regarding whether to welcome the Emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao's subordinates did not have unified opinions!
Some people think that the Eastern Han Dynasty has long existed in name only, and serving the emperor is not only useless, but will also constrain oneself!
Some people also think that Cao Cao's power is still small. Even Xuzhou has not been pacified yet, and he has no spare power to do other things.
Only Xun Yu overcame all opinions and proposed "holding the emperor's hand to command the princes", and cited Jin Wen Gong Chong'er and Han Gaozu Liu Bang as examples!
Chong'er welcomed King Xiang of Zhou back, and the princes obeyed.
The emperor of the Han Dynasty conquered Xiang Yu in the east, wore plain clothes in mourning for the Righteous Emperor, and the whole world returned to its heart!
If Cao Cao could control the emperor and command the princes, he would surely be able to rectify the world, become the leader in the world, and achieve hegemony sooner or later.
Cao Cao adopted Xun Yu's suggestion and immediately led his army to Luoyang to present food to the emperor and the court!
He also moved the emperor and officials to Xu County under his control and changed it to Xu Capital!
Cao Cao was named a general and the Marquis of Wuping by the emperor!
From then on, Cao Cao, who had the emperor, became the only orthodox among the princes!
He can issue orders in the name of the Emperor, and Cao Cao's enemies will naturally become enemies of the Emperor and the court, and will be regarded as traitors and will be punished by the whole world!
…
Ming dynasty.
"Xun Yu's idea of holding the emperor hostage to command the princes is no less significant than Zhuge Liang's Long Zhong Dui!"
Liu Bowen stroked his beard, his eyes filled with admiration.
With Liu Bowen's wisdom, he could naturally see at a glance how important it was to Cao Cao to use the emperor to command the princes!
The Emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty is by no means a burden!
But a banner of righteousness!
Whoever holds this flag represents justice and the right to speak!
"The most important thing is that Cao Cao accepted advice humbly. Look at Yuan Shao, he doesn't have such a vision!"
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said that Xun Yu, who proposed "holding the emperor to control the princes", was indeed powerful, but the key was that the lord was willing to listen!
On Yuan Shao's side, Ju Shou also proposed to Yuan Shao, "We should welcome the great leader from the west, that is, the palace of Yedu, hold the emperor hostage and order the princes, and use the beasts and horses to fight against the court!"
Welcoming Emperor Liu Xie and the Eastern Han Dynasty court to Yecheng!
If Yuan Shao had adopted Ju Shou's plan, then it would not have been Cao Cao, but Yuan Shao, who had taken advantage of the emperor to command the princes!
But Yuan Shao listened to the opinions of two losers, Guo Tu and Chun Yuqiong, and believed that welcoming the emperor would affect his authority and become a big trouble for him!
Such an idea is simply stupid!
Zhu Yuanzhang, for the sake of the overall situation, once served Xiao Ming Wang Han Lin'er as his master!
Under the banner of Ming Dynasty, it develops and grows.
In the end, through the name of Han Lin'er, he conquered half of the country!
Only after he had matured his wings did he get rid of the puppet emperor.
Han Lin'er, the little Ming king, was worthy of being recognized by Zhu Yuanzhang as his master, let alone Liu Xie, the emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty?
In his opinion, Zhu Yuanzhang, this is simply delicious!
…
Da Qin.
"Yuan Shao, do you really have such a stupid brain? Isn't he trying to proclaim himself emperor?"
However, Ying Yu's eyes flickered slightly, but he saw something different in it.
The reason why Yuan Shao rejected Ju Shou's proposal of "holding the emperor's hand to command the princes" was probably not as simple as fear of trouble.
But because Yuan Shao has the ambition to become emperor!
Because Yuan Shao's younger brother Yuan Shu did something that defied the world's disapproval and rebelled against the Han in Huainan and proclaimed himself emperor!
After being crippled by Cao Cao, Yuan Shu gave the jade seal to Yuan Shao!
Yuan Shao got the jade seal passed down from the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it was inevitable that he would have some thoughts in his mind.
Since Yuan Shao has already planned to disown the banner of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it is understandable that he does not want to take Liu Xie, the emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, to his home base.
Otherwise, there is no reason for him to refuse such a good thing as "holding the emperor's hand to command the princes".
As for Cao Cao at this time, I'm afraid he is still an aspiring loyal minister!
In my heart, I may not have the belief to help the Han Dynasty!
After all, Cao Cao was once willing to sacrifice his life for the country and the country of the Eastern Han Dynasty, otherwise he would not have left the good Xiaoqi Lieutenant behind to assassinate Dong Zhuo, who had promoted and reused him.
…
The gold list picture is still circulating!
Cao Cao, who held the emperor hostage to order the princes, occupied the moral high ground!
He issued orders to the entire Eastern Han Dynasty, as if he were the head of the princes!
This caused Yuan Shao's dissatisfaction!
The Emperor was something he didn't want, but he didn't expect it to fall into Cao Cao's hands. Instead, he was used by Cao Cao to issue orders to him. You can imagine how unhappy Yuan Shao felt at this moment!
Moreover, after Cao Cao welcomed the emperor into Xudu, he was named a general, the head of hundreds of officials!
Yuan Shao was named Taiwei by the emperor!
Although the Taiwei is also one of the three princes, he is undoubtedly shorter than the general!
This makes Yuan Shao feel very shameful!
Cao Cao, whom he had always looked down upon, actually climbed onto his head? Shit and pee on the top of his head!
It is tolerable, but what is unbearable!
The war between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao is getting ready!
Inside Cao Jun, people are panicked!
The famous scholar Kong Rong sang the words of surrender. He believed that Yuan Shao had a large territory and many soldiers. With Tian Feng and Xu You advising him, and being loyal and responsible in judging and discipline, and Yan Liangwen, ugly and brave, Cao Jun was invincible!
But Xun Yu analyzed it sharply: Tian Feng was stubborn and committed a crime, Xu You was greedy and undisciplined, the judge was professional but unintelligent, and he used the results according to the rules!
Shen Pei and Pang Ji are in charge of the rear. If the Xu You family breaks the law, they will not let it go. If they are not lenient, Xu You will definitely rebel.
As for Yan Liang and Wen Chou, they are just brave men and can be captured in one fight!
There is also the theory of ten wins and ten losses proposed by Guo Jia!
Strengthened Cao Cao's confidence!
Then the outcome of these people was exactly as Xun Yu expected!
Tian Feng was executed by Yuan Shao because he violated Yan Zhijian!
Yan Liang, Wen Chou, all relied on their own bravery, but were killed in front of the battle!
Xu You was imprisoned because his family broke the law and was not forgiven, so he took Yuan Jun's secrets of food and grass and took refuge in Cao Cao!
It became the key to Cao Cao's victory!
Cao Cao, a great victory!
Became the overlord of the Central Plains!
Every time Cao Cao went on an expedition, Xun Yu would guard the rear for him, stay in the center, provide food, grass and baggage, and stabilize people's hearts.
Become Cao Cao's magic needle to conquer the world and wipe out the heroes!
However, Xun Yu's abilities were not limited to domestic affairs!
He was full of strategies, and once used the strategy of driving away tigers and devouring wolves to weaken the three forces of Lu Bu, Liu Bei and Yuan Shao for Cao Cao, allowing Cao Cao to reap the benefits!
Undoubtedly an all-round talent!
Wang Zuo ranks ninth on the list, and he deserves it!
Many people in China even feel that it is a bit low!
…
With Xun Yu's assistance, Cao Cao quickly became the overlord of the Eastern Han Dynasty!
Although Liu Bei and Sun Quan in the south are growing in strength, they cannot compare with Cao Cao!
As his status and power increased, Cao Cao began to grow ambitions!
People will change!
He is no longer the former Colonel Cao who was full of passion and sacrificed his life for the Eastern Han Dynasty!
Now he is Prime Minister Cao who holds the power alone!
For the Emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he had long lost the respect he had in the past.
If you don’t rush into the palace, you won’t be praised and praised!
Even when Xu Tian was hunting, he deliberately snatched the emperor's treasured bow in order to establish his own authority!
For this reason, it also led to the incident of the belt edict!
The emperor Liu Xie was dissatisfied with Cao Cao's autocratic power, so he privately wrote a letter in blood and gave it to his uncle Dong Cheng, plotting to kill Cao Cao!
Unexpectedly, things were revealed!
Afterwards, Liu Bei fled, and Cao Cao executed Dong Cheng, Ma Teng and other related people. Even the pregnant Dong Guifei was executed!
Cao Cao caused a bloody storm in Xudu!
The brave man who slayed the dragon in the past has turned into an evil dragon!
Since then, Cao Cao's power has become more and more stable!
But Xun Yu was worried!
Because although he is Cao Cao's confidant, he is loyal to the Eastern Han Dynasty in his heart!
Cao Cao had long lost his original intention to help the Han Dynasty, but he, Xun Lingjun, still had his original intention unchanged!
Seeing Cao Cao brutally killing those ministers loyal to the Eastern Han Dynasty, Xun Yu felt very conflicted!
On one side is the lord who he has assisted for many years, and on the other side is the Emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty to whom he is determined to be loyal!
Now, the emperor was forced into such a situation by Cao Cao. He claimed to be a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty. How could he continue to stand by and do nothing?
