Chapter 157 Cao Cao welcomes Xun You barefoot
Bingzhou, Jinyang.
He rode fast and rushed straight to the General's Mansion of the Cavalry. The person on the horse got off his war horse. As soon as he took a step, he fell to the ground, his lips were chapped and his throat made a slight sound.
“Qiwu emergency report…”
Seeing this, the personal soldiers at the door hurriedly carried him in.
"Lord, the Meiwu urgently reported that Jia Xu wanted to offer Meiwu to Ma Teng in Xiliang. Li Ru sent someone to send the news to General Zhao Yun, Xihe County, at night."
The sender shouted loudly after drinking a bowl of water.
Zhao Feng was shocked when he heard this. If Ma Teng was involved in the situation in Chang'an, it would inevitably become more difficult to control by then. Zhao Feng waved his hand to signal the person who reported the news to take it down for a rest, and then urgently asked Yang Tinghe to come to discuss matters.
"Mingfu, I'm afraid that something will happen to Meiwu."
Zhao Feng sighed and then said bluntly: "I want Zilong to lead his army into the Jinwu, without having to defend himself, just transport the food and grass in the air to prepare for military supplies."
Yang Tinghe said in disgrace: "Lord, General Zhao Yun's primary task should be to welcome His Majesty back. If he divides his troops, he is afraid it will be difficult to support him."
"It happened suddenly, and I couldn't do it!"
Zhao Feng said in a deep voice: "The Yue family army of Pengju's troops gathered in Dingxiang County. It was too late to dispatch at this time, so he could only let Zilong go. As for the rescue of Your Majesty, this general led the eighteen cavalry of Yanyun to go there in person."
"No!"
Yang Tinghe quickly stopped and said, "The situation in Chang'an is in chaos. Not only is Dong's army causing trouble, but Cao Cao and Lu Bu are eyeing each other with their troops. The lord only takes Yan Yun's eighteen cavalry to go there. His subordinates are afraid that it will be difficult to get out of here."
"My husband, the food and grass in Meiwu are piled up like a mountain, enough to spend a few years on a 50,000 army. How can you deal with others in vain? Meiwu must be taken."
Zhao Feng said Zhengsheng.
"this……"
Yang Tinghe was in a dilemma, pondered for a moment, and said, "If the lord wants to go to Chang'an in person, he can ask Zhang Yang to raise the Shangdang army and horses, advance towards Luoyang, and trap Lu Bu and Cao Cao's men."
"good!"
Zhao Feng said: "After I leave, the manipulator will take charge of the overall situation. Remember to beware of the thief Yuan Shao of Jizhou and not let him step aside."
"promise!"
Yang Tinghe bowed his order and hurriedly sent someone to pass on the order to prepare for a new round of deployment.
...
Chang'an.
Xu Rong led his troops into the palace and searched the entire palace inside and outside, but found no trace of Liu Xie, and he became uneasy.
If Liu Xie ran away, they would at most seize a city, and fame, wealth and wealth would not be worth a single word.
"Go search, check, you must recover the emperor!"
Xu Rong shouted long.
Tens of thousands of people began to disperse, turning Chang'an City upside down, but there was still no trace. Xu Rong was so angry that he had no idea how to start.
“Well…”
When it was almost dawn, Zhang Ji rushed back and reported to Xu Rong: "General, it has been found that the palace guards, the emperor, the royal family and others escaped from the north gate."
"Damn it!"
Xu Rong cursed, and then ordered: "You can quickly lead the three thousand flying bear spirits to chase the emperor back. I will take charge of Chang'an and let General Guo Si go to welcome General Zuo to preside over the overall situation."
"Get orders!"
Zhang Ji hurriedly rode his horse away and took three thousand elite soldiers to chase Liu Xie.
...
Hangu Pass.
Cao Cao failed to seize the opportunity and entered Chang'an City. He missed the first great opportunity to use the emperor to command the princes. He was unwilling to withdraw his troops and returned to Yanzhou, but he learned that Zhao Feng had led his army to leave Chang'an, so he stayed here because his adviser Xun Yu had already concluded that there would be chaos in Chang'an.
That night, Cao Cao was sleeping soundly, and his confidant general Cao Hong came in and said, "Lord, Mr. Xun Yu asked for a meeting, and he also brought someone, claiming to be your old acquaintance, Xun You."
"It's Gongda here!"
Cao Cao was overjoyed and didn't even bother to put on his shoes. He came outside the tent wearing thin clothes.
When Cao Cao was an official in Luoyang, he had an old age with Xun You and admired his talent. After arriving in Yanzhou, Cao Cao also wanted to recruit him many times, but he had always suffered from no chance. Now that he was sent to him, he must not let him go.
"But Gongda is here!"
Before the people arrived, the voice had arrived. After Cao Cao left the camp, he held Xun You's hand and said in great affection: "Gongda has worked hard all the way, come in quickly."
Before Xun You answered, Cao Hong followed out with a pair of shoes and shouted, "Lord, it's cold, my feet are frozen, put on it quickly."
Xun Yu and Xun You realized that Cao Cao was greeting each other barefoot, and he was moved inside. Xun You hurriedly took the shoes, put them in front of Cao Cao's feet, and shouted: "Don't freeze your body."
"It's not intrusive, it's not intrusive!"
Cao Cao was very satisfied and stretched out his foot, put it on randomly, then pulled Xun You with one hand and Xun Yu with the other, and walked into the camp.
"Gongda came to visit late at night, but is there something urgent?"
Cao Cao asked in thought.
Xun You hurriedly replied: "Duke Cao, the remnants of Dong's army besieged Chang'an, I am afraid that the day will be in danger. I hope that Cao will send troops early to rescue Your Majesty."
"Everyone will be punished by traitors. Cao Cao has received great grace from the emperor. How can he ignore him? He must go there in person to eliminate the traitors."
Cao Cao shouted loudly, and then ordered Cao Hong: "Go and summon the lieutenant generals and the camp will discuss matters."
"promise!"
Cao Hong responded loudly, he knew that their chance to achieve success was coming again, and this time they were going to win glory for the lord.
Not long after, twenty or thirty people gathered in the camp. Cao Cao shouted: "Your Majesty is in danger. As a minister, we should serve as death to rescue you. The troops obey orders, only bring food, and follow me to Chang'an to eliminate the treacherous thieves."
"Abide by the order!"
All the generals responded.
Xun Yu asked from the side: "You can leave an army to guard Hangu Pass to prevent accidents!"
Cao Cao was unmoved and said bluntly: "When you eat the king's fortune, you can't be negligent when you are loyal to the king? The whole army will not be left alone, and advance towards Chang'an, wipe out the rioters and restore the Han Dynasty."
As soon as Cao Cao said this, he instantly ignited the passionate feelings of the generals in the camp, and they all worked as if they were injected with chicken blood.
Cao Cao immediately abandoned Hangu Pass and personally led the cavalry to Chang'an City first. When he was ten miles away from Chang'an, he encountered an official who escaped from Chang'an on the way, and stopped him and asked, "Where is Your Majesty?"
The official quickly replied: "Chang'an has fallen into the hands of Dong Jun. His Majesty has fled to Xihe County."
"ah……"
Cao Cao's face darkened, and there was a big change now. If the emperor really went to Bingzhou, his grand strategy of using the emperor to command the princes would be gone.
"Come on, go back and report to General Xiahou Yuan, and ask him to lead his troops directly north without going to Chang'an. You will save His Majesty first."
Then Cao Cao led Cao Hong, Cao Ren and two thousand light cavalry to march northward and chased after him.
