Chapter 222 Heaven Changes (2)
Cao Cao?
Liu Xie was not too unfamiliar with this name. After a little recollection, he finally remembered: "But Cao Cao, the Dian Military Captain of the Eight Certificate in Xiyuan?"
"It's this person!"
Dong Cheng bowed and said, "When Dong thieves were in trouble, he had also dispersed his family's wealth and joined forces with the military. In this way, he could fight against Dong's alliance, and he was a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty."
To be honest, Dong Cheng didn't have a good impression of Cao Cao.
At the beginning, he never thought about letting this man enter Luoyang City.
In the original history, he also stopped Cao Hong, who was sent by Cao Cao, with Li Chang (Zhengnu).
But times have changed, and the situation in the world has undergone earth-shaking changes.
The most important thing is that Dong Cheng, a man from Han Xian, felt that he could no longer control himself. If he let him continue like this, it would probably take a few years for the Han Dynasty to lose all his face.
Therefore, even when facing Cao Cao, whom he didn't like very much, he could only bite the bullet and praise him.
"If this is the case, Cao Cao is indeed a loyal minister, so it is credible."
Liu Xie praised, and then said, "However, I heard that there was a person in the southern area named Liu Bei, who joined forces with Sun Ce and Liu Biao to form an alliance to support me. My uncle thought... Is this Liu Bei trustworthy?"
To be honest, he didn't understand why no one in the court mentioned Liu Bei.
In his opinion, Liu Bei had 100,000 troops, and under his command of millions of people, he also had no shortage of food, grass, and weapons, and had many counselors and generals.
If such a force is really helping him wholeheartedly, it would not be too difficult to stabilize the Han Dynasty.
But no one mentioned it in the court, just as if Liu Bei did not exist.
He could only speak loudly and lure Liu Bei out.
"No!"
Dong Cheng was shocked and asserted: "Your Majesty doesn't know that this man is a man of weaving mats and selling shoes. Although his power is great, he seems like a tower in the air."
"Another, I will follow others' words and Liu Bei is ambitious and is definitely not a trustworthy person."
"If Your Majesty believes in this person, he may be harmed by him!"
This is why no one mentioned Liu Bei.
Liu Bei is powerful, whether in war or reputation, it seems to be very powerful in all aspects.
However, he has a fatal flaw - his poor background.
For all the officials in the court, although their predecessors were killed one after another, even themselves lived a life of stagnation, this did not prevent them from continuing to wear tinted glasses.
To this day, they still care about other people's background.
For Dong Cheng, let alone Liu Bei’s background, even Cao Cao, who was once one of the eight lieutenants of the West Garden, was his background tall enough, right? But he still looked down on him.
If it weren't for this, in the original history, he would not have tried his best to stop Cao Cao from entering Beijing at the beginning.
In fact, in his heart, the best candidate to support the Han Dynasty must be Yuan Shao.
Only this northern overlord is in his eyes who can truly support the Han Dynasty.
Others, whether it is Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Gongsun Zan, or Dong Cheng, are all looking down on them.
"So that's it." Liu Xie's expression still did not change when he spoke.
But in fact, he felt in his heart that Dong Cheng was doing this in the end something was wrong.
He was unable to say something wrong.
Therefore, after a moment, he spoke to Dong Cheng: "Since Cao Cao is in Xuanyuan Pass, let's make arrangements now."
"My minister, receive the order!"
Dong Cheng respectfully received the order.
"His Majesty."
Then, he bowed and began to report on the situation in Luoyang City: "Now His Majesty is approaching Luoyang City, there are still many things to deal with, first..."
"Your Majesty, there are still many victims in Luoyang City. Although the court is embarrassed, Cao Cao is rich. After he comes, he will send him some food to calm the people."
"good!"
"Your Majesty, then I wrote yesterday that I wanted to enter Luoyang City, what should I do?"
"This matter..."
Liu Xie thought about it and looked at Dong Cheng: "What does the uncle think?"
Dong Cheng bowed and said, "Although he has made great contributions to getting rid of the humble state, he is a member of the Huns. He should not be allowed to enter the city."
"Serious!" Liu Xie nodded in a good manner.
He also doesn't like to be humble.
Although the other party helped him, the alien race was a alien race and he could not be allowed to enter the city.
certainly.
The most important thing is that he can't say this.
Otherwise, if the other party does this for the credit, how cold will the hearts of others be?
He, Liu Xie, is not a fool, and he still has this political sensitivity.
As one thing is handled one by one, the meeting finally dispersed.
"National uncle, stay."
Liu Xie stood up from the imperial throne, walked down to support Dong Cheng and said, "Now the Han Dynasty has declined, thank you for your hard work."
"Your Majesty!" Dong Cheng knelt down in emotion.
"Nunthern Prince, please get up!"
Liu Xie waited for Dong Cheng to kneel down, then pulled him up and said, "My uncle saved me several times in danger, and I will never forget you."
After Dong Cheng was pulled up, he was still moved: "If your Majesty says this, even if you die a hundred times, you will be loyal to your Majesty!"
The two of them said this and gradually walked out of Yang'an Palace.
Immediately after asking Liu Xie for instructions, Dong Cheng sent an envoy to Cao Cao's camp outside Xuanyuan Pass.
Outside Xuanyuan Pass, Cao's camp.
"Slave, it's really hateful!"
Li Chang's name as a slave was called out by Cao Cao.
"If I catch him, I will be punished by his family!"
After speaking indignantly for a while, he said to everyone: "Now I am guarding Xuanyuan Pass. You all think how can the troops enter Luoyang?"
It's not rushing.
He heard the news before that Lin Chen had broken his father's city.
This news scared him, and as Cao Ren thought, he despised Cao Ren for a while in his heart.
At the same time, the moment he heard the news, he thought about leading people back to the army.
Fortunately, Lin Chen did not call the north afterwards.
After a little thought, Cao Cao realized that this was a sign of Lin Chen's powerlessness, so even if he didn't go back, Lin Chen was still unable to continue heading north.
What's more, Xun Yu was in charge in Xu County, which made him even more relieved.
But even so, he was still a little anxious.
After all, the longer the time delays, the more unfavorable it will be for him.
"Xuanyuan Pass is strong and cannot be attacked by human power. At present, we can only wait for Li Chang to lose food..." Mao Jie and others who followed the army didn't know what to do.
It’s not that they are not smart enough, but that Xuanyuan Pass is too strong.
It is so strong that it is not something that can be won by a strategy.
Cao Cao looked at everyone's reaction and naturally knew what they were thinking, and he couldn't help but think of Lin Chen in his heart.
If Lin Ziyuan is under my command, what is Xuanyuan Pass?
Thinking of this, he sighed silently.
"Report!"
At this moment, a voice from outside the door interrupted his thinking, and also brought a message that made him ecstatic: "Report to the lord, Dong Cheng is here."
"Dong Cheng?"
Cao Cao was stunned at first, and after thinking about it for a moment, he was overjoyed and said, "Xuanyuan Pass will be broken soon!"
Everyone was also smart. When they heard the news, they instantly understood what Dong Cheng could do at this time.
It’s a good match inside and outside!
In an instant, they all began to congratulate Cao Cao.
"Congratulations to the lord!"
"Xuanyuan Pass can finally be broken!"
"Congratulations to the lord!"
Chapter completed!
