Er Xun and He Yong watched Wang Yun go away before talking again.
Xun You smiled and said: "The prince's energy seems to have suddenly increased a lot."
He Yong nodded and said: "I heard that His Majesty took the prince out for a trip."
Xun You glanced inside the Chancellor's Desk and said, "I also heard that His Majesty went to the Prime Minister's Mansion that night."
There was no expression on Xun Yu's old face, and he said: "Gongda, you will go to Tai Chang later and bring over the list of results from last year's exam."
Xun You was startled and said, "Are there any officials?"
Xun Yu glanced at him and turned back to the chancellery.
Xun You was even more puzzled and wanted to ask, but He Yong suddenly stretched out his hand to stop him. When Xun Yu walked away, he whispered: "Cai Yong's status is different, and he must give him the face he deserves."
Xun You suddenly realized, his face thoughtful.
Cai Yong's "different status" comes from the pregnancy of his daughter. If Cai Yan gives birth to a boy, he will undoubtedly be the eldest son of the emperor. There is a high probability that he will be the prince or the heir apparent in the future. Cai Yong, the head of the state, will naturally rise with the tide.
"Uncle is still careful." Xun You said.
He Yong watched Xun Yu enter and said, "What do you think of Chen Qun?"
Xun You, who both belonged to the Yingchuan family, knew something about the Chen family and Chen Qun, who became famous at a young age, and said: "They are talented and arrogant."
He Yong hesitated and said: "Once when I entered the palace, Your Majesty casually asked me who could succeed Tingwei."
Xun You's expression moved slightly and he said: "Your Majesty, are you planning to let Yuan Chang enter the Chancellor's Desk? Chen Qun is still far away. I'm worried that he will do something bad."
He Yong was curious and said, "How do you say that?"
Xun You shook his head and said helplessly: "I heard from Yuan Chang that Chen Qun requested to add many clauses in the revision of the 'Han Code'. For example, if a woman who has been widowed and stayed at home for more than one year does not remarry, she will be fined and will be imprisoned for more than two years. "
He Yong shook his head when he heard this and said: "A child from an aristocratic family is not familiar with the ways of the world, but he can understand it. He still needs a few more years of training."
Xun You said: "I think so too. The affairs of Tingwei Mansion are very important and cannot be done without a prudent person. Your Majesty is also prudent when asking you."
He Yong glanced at the Chancellor's desk again and said, "What are the officials and officials in Yanzhou thinking about?"
Yanzhou Mu Dingyuan has been impeached continuously by the imperial court since Qiao Mao's rebellion. For the sake of the stability of Yanzhou, Liu Bian has not touched him.
Now that Bingzhou Lu is implanted in Beijing, it shows that the "New Deal" is entering a new stage, and Na Dingyuan is not suitable to continue to serve as Yanzhou pastor.
Xun You thought for a while and said: "I have consulted the opinions of the prime minister, princes, and Yushitai, and they are leaning towards Liu Dai."
"Liu Dai?"
He Yong nodded knowingly. This person came from Dongjun, Yanzhou and was a clan relative, so it was quite appropriate.
Xun You glanced around, saw four people, and whispered: "You have another important point in going to Bingzhou this time. Find an opportunity to completely uproot Dong Zhuo's foundation."
Lu Zhi's most important task in Bingzhou was to 'maintain stability'. After the war, he could not do many things to stabilize Bingzhou and lay the foundation for the 'New Deal'.
He Yong looked in the direction of Yuzhou and wanted to say something. Suddenly he saw Princess Yang'an hurriedly entering the palace and immediately stopped talking.
Xun You and He Yong looked at each other with a strange bad feeling in their hearts.
After waiting for the lieutenant to finish, I calculated the time and figured I should leave Dong Zhuo's camp. Why hasn't there been any response yet?
Three days later, Yuzhou, Peiguo and Peixian.
Dong Zhuo's temper has been very violent recently, and he killed more than ten servants for no reason, which made other servants frightened and did not dare to approach.
Amidst the heart-rending screams of a girl, Dong Zhuo walked out with his belt on and his face extremely gloomy. When he saw Niu Fu, Hua Xiong, Jia Xu and others sitting in the hall, he suppressed his anger and stood in his position. sit down.
Others just raised their hands and no one dared to speak.
The situation was originally good, but because Huangfu Song's oriole was behind him, he robbed Dong Zhuo of the money and food he had saved so hard, and Dong Zhuo had to be trapped in Peixian County.
It can be said that months of hard planning were turned into nothing by Huangfu Song with just one move.
They still don't know that this is just Huangfu Jianchang's whim and has nothing to do with Huangfu Song.
Dong Zhuo widened his eyes, looked at the decree on the table in front of him, and said angrily: "The imperial court dismissed me as Yuzhou Shepherd and asked me to return to Beijing to discuss rewards. What do you say?"
say what?
This is obviously like killing a donkey. If you go, you will never come back.
Niu Fu, Hua Xiong, Guo Si and others lowered their heads, feeling uneasy in their hearts.
Zhang Ji has been rushed to 'defend the city'. In addition to Niu Fu, Hua Xiong and other hardcore people, Guo Si and other people quietly had the idea of 'other plans' in their hearts.
Dong Zhuo couldn't hide the murderous intent in his eyes. He looked at a group of people and landed on Jia Xu. He forced a smile on his fierce old face and said, "Wen He, please ask me for advice."
Jia Xu was wearing a white Confucian shirt, his expression remained calm, he leaned forward and said: "Taiwei, the lower officials have three policies: upper, middle and lower."
"Speak quickly." Dong Zhuo said hurriedly.
Niu Fu, Hua Xiong and others all looked over. They were in a difficult situation and needed a way to break the situation.
Jia Xu gently put the corner of his clothes and said: "The best strategy is to attack Yanzhou by surprise, annex Yanzhou's soldiers and horses, establish Yanzhou, go south, north, down, east, out and west, any of them can be done."
Dong Zhuo's face showed a serious look on his face, he thought for a moment and said, "The middle strategy?"
Jia Xu said: "Enter Xuzhou eastward. Xuzhou is in a state of panic. It's easy to do it. Based on Xuzhou, great achievements can be expected."
Dong Zhuo's expression softened slightly and he said, "Then, what's the next step?"
Jia Xu looked deeply at Dong Zhuo and said: "Form an alliance with Yuan Shu."
Dong Zhuo sat up a little straighter, his eyes flickered, and he looked at the others.
Niu Fu immediately said in a deep voice: "Father, I think it is appropriate to enter Xuzhou."
Hua Xiong followed closely and said: "Dong Gong, I think it would be better to form an alliance with Yuan Shu and act as each other's horns."
Guo Si and others remained silent, judging in their hearts the top, middle and bottom strategies.
They are essentially the same as Yuan Shu and others, and are not tolerated by the imperial court. Compared with Yuan Shu's open rebellion, they just retain the appearance of "Hanchen".
A scout hurriedly came in, knelt on one knee and said: "Report to Duke Dong that Yuan Shao has gone to Nanyang. The imperial court sent an additional 10,000 people to Yanzhou, and Xu Rong advanced the station thirty miles south and stationed it at On the border between Peiguo and Shanyang County."
Everyone present, except Jia Xu, changed their colors.
Dong Zhuo had a sullen face, waved his hand, waited for the scout to leave, and said to Jia Xu with a sullen face: "I think that an alliance with Yuan Shu is the best option, what do Wen He think?"
A smile appeared on Jia Xu's face and he said: "Dong Gong is wise!"
When Dong Zhuo heard this, the anger in his heart eased a little, but his eyes were beating fiercely, and he said: "Okay! Wen He, make a good plan for me. When I take Xuzhou, I will form an alliance with Yuan Shu!"
Jia Xu's eyes twitched slightly. From the bottom of his heart, he formed an alliance with Yuan Shu, and he didn't want Dong Zhuo to be in contact with Yuan Shu, otherwise the alliance would inevitably break down!
But Dong Zhuo was so angry that he could not persuade him, so he could only wait for the opportunity to speak again.
It was the end of May in the early year of Yonghan.
Cao Cao entered from Qi State with 10,000 soldiers and horses. After paying a visit to Qingzhou Mu Zhujun, he received the official document of Fu Jie and marched at an unprecedented speed, leaving Qi State and entering Beihai State.
Cao Cao rode his tall horse and looked at the east. He said to Xiahou Dun beside him with great satisfaction: "Yuan Rang, this Yellow Turban Army just defeated Zhu Shijun. They must be very proud and arrogant to underestimate me. As long as I set up an ambush, There will definitely be gains!”
Xiahou Dun followed and said, "Mengde, why didn't the military advisor come?"
A trace of dissatisfaction flashed through Cao Cao's narrow eyes and he said, "Does Yuan Rang think that without a military advisor, I, Cao Cao, will not be able to march and fight?"
Xiahou Dun was startled, and just as he was about to speak, a scout came quickly to report, "General Qi, rebels have been found five miles ahead!"
Cao Cao's expression remained unchanged and he said in a deep voice: "How many people are there?"
The scout said: "Visually there are tens of thousands of them. They have discovered us and are coming over."
Xiahou Dun's expression darkened and he said, "Mengde, we only have two thousand people, so why not withdraw our troops first?"
Cao Cao remained calm and said: "It's too late. Send someone to inform Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren to come to the rescue immediately and prepare the entire army for war!"
Five miles is too short, there is no time to retreat.
Xiahou Dun responded, drew his sword, and began to mobilize.
Not long after, the two sides who suddenly encountered each other quickly strangled each other.
"Kill the thief!" Xiahou Dun tried his best to resist in front of Cao Cao.
Even though the two thousand people had battle experience, compared to the Yellow Turban Army and their numbers, they were still defeated quickly and could not resist.
"Walk!"
Xiahou Dun shouted loudly and struck Cao Cao's horse with his sword.
The horses were frightened and ran away with Cao Cao.
"Yuan Rang!" Cao Cao shouted, trying to rein in his horse, but he couldn't control it at all and ran away from the battlefield with Cao Cao.
Xiahou Dun was covered in blood and was still trying to cut off Cao Cao's back. However, with the Yellow Turban Army in front of him and behind him, he could no longer hold on.
"Meng De, don't panic!"
Cao Cao ran not far when he suddenly saw Xia Houyuan and Cao Ren coming with their army not far away.
Cao Cao reined in his horse fiercely, turned its head, and said urgently: "Follow me to rescue Yuan Rang!"
Without saying a word, the two followed Cao Cao and killed him again.
Xia Houyuan and Cao Ren led nearly ten thousand people, quickly rushed over, and strangled tens of thousands of Yellow Turban troops.
The momentum of the Yellow Turban Army was hindered, and the two sides fell into a fierce battle.
"Yuan Rang!"
Cao Cao rushed in, pulled Xiahou Dun on his horse, and fought with all his strength.
Surrounded by Yellow Turban troops, Cao Cao showed no fear and kept killing them.
Cao Ren and Xia Houyuan were extremely brave, leading their troops and horses to attack everywhere, smashing into pieces the Yellow Turban Army, which had little organization and discipline.
However, the Yellow Turban Army had a numerical advantage. The two sides fought for nearly an hour. Seeing that there was no winner, they all began to withdraw their troops.
After retreating twenty miles, Cao Cao looked at Xiahou Dun, who was lying on a stretcher, covered in blood. His eyes were wide open, and he grabbed Xiahou Dun's hand tightly and said urgently: "Yuan Rang, it's all my fault, don't hold on!"
Xiahou Dun's face was pale, but he didn't panic and said, "Don't worry, Meng De, this little injury won't kill me."
Cao Cao didn't speak anymore, but just grabbed Xiahou Dun hard.
Cao Ren, Xia Houyuan and others looked worried and walked to Pingshou County with Cao Cao.
After the doctor diagnosed and treated him and saw that there was no danger of his life, Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief and stayed up with Xiahou Dun all night. After his fever subsided, Cao Cao came to Guo Jia Xiaoyuan.
He took off his outer robe, dropped it aside, sat opposite Guo Jia, and said with a smile: "Fengxiao, Yuan Rang is fine, let me have a bottle of wine."
Seeing that he didn't look depressed, Guo Jia smiled and handed him the wine bottle in front of him.
Cao Cao took a big sip and felt better, then he said: "Fengxiao, what is the great gift you mentioned before?"
