Chapter 92: Mad Cao Cao (2)
After crying for a long time, the princes saw that Yuan Shao was seriously ill, and they all said goodbye, went back to gather their old subordinates and settled their troops for battle. They were afraid that the brave general would lead the army to come in person, so how could the generals defeat the enemy?
More than ten days later, Feng Sha was not here to fight. He came to report that after the fire in Luoyang, countless victims were killed. The general only cared for disaster relief. He also said that the princes must be prepared for it. After a sudden outbreak, they would definitely not be able to capture the rebels in one fell swoop. It would be better not to come.
The princes breathed a sigh of relief and gathered in Yuan Shao's tent to discuss the subsequent plan.
At this time, Yuan Shao's injuries had healed a lot. Although his face was still pale, he was able to sit up and attend the meeting.
Everyone held Liu Xie and sat down on the ground, bowed and said, "Your Majesty!"
Only Yuan Shao was given a favor by Liu Xie because of his serious injury. Han Meng helped him and bowed slightly to Liu Xie. Then he saw him shaking, as if he was about to fall, so he hurriedly helped him well.
Cao Cao was already standing in a state of disheveled shape and his face was as if dead ashes. He followed everyone in a daze. When everyone stood up, he still knelt on the ground, as if he was demented.
Le Jin, Li Dian hurriedly stepped forward and helped him up. Everyone couldn't cry when they saw his miserable situation.
Liu Xie also burst into tears, hurriedly waved his sleeves and gave the princes to sit down. Liu Bei was originally the emperor's uncle, but now he was in the position of the left general, and he also got a seat.
Everyone sat down and saw that the emperor was sitting up and down. The emperor was sitting down. The subordinates stood behind him and barely had the intention of the court.
Yuan Shu took the lead in speaking, stood up and bowed, "Your Majesty, the demon thief Liu Sha, Huang Shang dared to assassinate the emperor and made people pretend to be the emperor. This crime is in line with the heavens! Please issue an edict to order all states and towns in the world to fight against the traitors!"
Liu Xie looked at the princes in various towns, and everyone said, "What Yuan Gonglu said is very much. If we want to kill the traitors, we must first get the right name. Please ask Your Majesty to ascend the throne first, and then issue an edict to fight against the thieves!"
Liu Xie approved the report and said, "Because I am in the military camp, everything will be simple, and I will wait for the throne ceremony to be held in the future."
He looked at everyone and said, "All of you here are meritorious officials of the country. You should reward merits and do you have any opinions?"
Everyone was happy. Now they rewarded merits and rewards. Although most of them were just empty names, they also made the princes in the capital feel happy.
This time, the three who made the greatest contributions to saving the emperor and leaving Luoyang were Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and Liu Bei.
At present, Yuan Shao was named Grand Sima, led the governor of Jizhou, and accepted Han Fu's territory, and his nephew Gao Gan took over his position as the prefect of Bohai; Cao Cao was named Right General, Chenliu Prefect, and Zhang Miao's territory; Liu Bei was named Left General, led the governor of Yanzhou, and took over his post in Liu Dai's old jurisdiction.
The other princes also had rewards. For a moment, everyone was very happy. Even Cao Cao, who had a gray face, had a hint of joy on his face, and his dull eyes gradually became flexible.
As for Liu Xie's whereabouts, everyone discussed for a long time and decided that he would go to Yecheng, and use Yecheng as the capital, under the protection of Grand Marshal Yuan Shao. Although Liu Bei was reluctant, seeing that everyone was thinking this way, there was no reason to let him move the capital to Yanzhou, so he had to agree, and the matter was settled.
The plan was settled, but Liu Bei frowned and said, "Liu Sha held more than 400,000 powerful soldiers in his hand. Although most of them went to the farm, it would be easy to recall Luoyang. If his troops left Guandong, our army would only have more than 100,000 people now, how can we resist?"
Speaking of this, all the princes looked worried, and Liu Xie was also panicked and didn't know what to do.
A man stood behind Cao Cao. He was young and elegant. He bowed and smiled and said, "Don't worry, the emperor. I have a plan. I will definitely teach Liu Sha not to look at me in front of my eyes!"
When the princes saw that it was Cao Cao's sect and was engaged in opera. Although he despised his low-ranking position, he wanted to hear what his plan was.
Yuan Shu shouted: "Speak quickly if you have something to do, don't hesitate!"
Xi Zhicai ignored him and smiled at Liu Xie and said, "Your Majesty, my plan is to think that there are still Baibo thieves in chaos in Hedong. If the emperor can send someone to promulgate his crimes and grant him official positions, Baibo's army will definitely be grateful for Your Majesty's kindness. If he ordered his troops to rob the west of Luoyang, then Liu Sha would not dare to go out to Guandong and let Baibo thieves seize his retreat. Besides, the famine in Luoyang and Chang'an area has not been resolved and the military rations are exhausted. When Liu Sha can quell Baibo and raise enough military rations, our army must have already gained a foothold in Guandong, with a million armors. Why not be afraid of hundreds of thousands of soldiers!"
The princes were overjoyed and said, "Good plan! Just follow this!"
So Liu Xie sent Yuan Shao's subordinate Shi Shenpeng to Hedong to announce the imperial edict, contacted Baibo's army everywhere, and planned a major plan. This plan was determined, and the princes felt at ease. They all thought of expanding their military strength before Liu Sha had fought eastward to prepare for a war.
Next, we will write a manifesto to denounce the traitors, and Xu You, an employee of Yuan Shao, was responsible for drafting it.
