Wu Liang was full of doubts.

Now he is not sure what exactly Boss Cao is thinking about this matter.

However, if we speculate based on the current situation, this decision that is inconsistent with history does not seem to be unreasonable.

First of all, the current Xudu is still called Xu County. Although Xu County is close to Chenliu County in Yanzhou, it falls under the jurisdiction of Yingchuan County in Yuzhou.

At this moment, Boss Cao's sphere of influence has not officially expanded to Yuzhou, so he is naturally not willing to put Emperor Xian into someone else's territory. Perhaps this is one of the reasons;

Secondly, Boss Cao could actually take Emperor Xian directly to Juancheng, Jiyin County, Yanzhou where he currently lives, but why didn't he do that?

This may be because Juancheng is far away from Luoyang, but relatively close to Yuan Shao's sphere of influence.

Now through the superstitious letter Wu Liang brought back, Boss Cao has learned that Yuan Shao plans to get rid of Emperor Xian, so he must be on guard against Yuan Shao, so it is naturally safer to place Emperor Xian in Chenliu, which is farther away from Yuan Shao's sphere of influence;

Thirdly, Chenliu was the base of Boss Cao’s initial momentum.

Therefore, his relationship with the local nobles should be pretty good. In addition, the current governor of Chenliu is Cheng Yu, and Wu Liang and the Hu army are also stationed in Chenliu.

Cheng Yu's loyalty was verified when Zhang Miao joined forces with Lu Bu to rebel.

And Wu Liang has played a key role in Boss Cao's rapid rise in the past year or so. At least so far, Boss Cao's trust in Wu Liang far exceeds that of others.

By placing Emperor Xian in Chenliu, Boss Cao will feel more at ease.

In short.

No matter how Boss Cao thought about this matter, this decision must have been carefully considered, and must have been discussed with Xi Zhicai and other advisers. It is definitely not something that was pointed out casually with a slap on the forehead.

And this matter actually had no substantial impact on Wu Liang and the Hu army.

Therefore, although Wu Liang had some doubts, he had no intention of going into details. Besides, this was not actually an important secret. Maybe when he chatted with Boss Cao, Xi Zhicai or Cao Ang, he could talk about Boss Cao.

The reason for this decision does not require any special effort to explore.

"General Cao is very thoughtful and will follow General Cao's wishes."

Emperor Xian didn't seem to think much about it. He nodded slightly and accepted Boss Cao's proposal, and then asked, "I just don't know when General Cao plans to set off?"

"It won't be too late, the sooner the better."

Boss Cao said sternly, "Although Li Jue and Guo Si have temporarily ceased fighting, if they learn that I have come to Qin Wang, I am afraid they will be ready to make another move. In addition, Qin Wang's troops and horses currently entrenched around Anyi do not have unified dispatch, and they are in a state of disarray.

In this chaotic state of fighting each other, if these soldiers and horses have different intentions, unexpected situations may occur, so we really have to be on guard."

"Well... I don't have anything to prepare now. Why don't we set off tomorrow, but I will rely on General Cao along the way."

Emperor Xian pondered for a while, and finally nodded to Boss Cao.

In fact, this was nothing to discuss. Emperor Xian had almost no military power. He had to go with whoever could protect him. He had no choice at all. Boss Cao didn't even need to use strong "hijacking" tactics.

It's just that Boss Cao still wants to act like a loyal minister, so he will talk to him about this matter in a consultative tone.

"Thank you for your majesty's trust, but before setting off, I still need to do one more thing, please accept your majesty's permission."

Boss Cao then raised his hand and said.

"General Cao, it's okay to just say it."

Emperor Xian nodded slightly.

"Your Majesty went through many dangers this time to escape from the enemy camp and reach Anyi. I heard that Li Jue and Guo Si's troops were attacked and killed many times along the way. Not only were many officials and King Qin's soldiers killed, but there were also many royal treasures and supplies.

It was plundered or lost here, and the loss is not insignificant."

Boss Cao said, "In view of the current chaotic situation, I request that before departure, a thorough inventory and record of the people and items accompanying His Majesty be carried out, so as to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the chaos to seize the royal family's belongings and line their own pockets. I'm afraid I can't afford it."

This responsibility.”

"!"

Upon hearing these words, Wu Liang suddenly became energetic.

Boss Cao must be looking for an opportunity for him to see the Han Dynasty's heirloom treasure.

I have to say that Boss Cao is a really good person. If you ask him for help with anything, he will really take it to heart and be really helpful.

"This matter will be handled according to General Cao's wishes."

Regarding this matter, Emperor Xian also seemed extremely calm and agreed without hesitation for a moment.

This was somewhat beyond Wu Liang's expectation.

Zhen Mi has used the skills of the fox servant and Tuo Meng to find out the relevant information about the iron box that Emperor Xian kept in Queen Fu's room. Wu Liang wants to see the true face of Wang Mangtou, and the snake-killing sword and Confucius' clogs are placed in the iron box.

among.

It’s hard to say whether the snake-cutting sword or Confucius’ clogs are the same.

However, the information Wu Liang had received previously and the encounters he had experienced in the past few days and nights had already made him more and more inclined to think that Wang Mangtou had already fallen into Lu Bu's hands, instead of being kept in the iron box.

And Emperor Xian agreed so happily now, as if there was nothing to hide at all, which made Wu Liang slightly shaken.

certainly.

In fact, even if Wang Mangtou has been lost, Emperor Xian has nothing to worry about.

After all, even the Imperial Seal, which represents the imperial power, has now fallen into the hands of Yuan Shu. So what does it matter about Wang Mangtou? Can it still be compared with the Imperial Seal? Or is there someone who will ask him for an explanation if Wang Mangtou is lost?

?

"I will arrange for someone to go and deal with it now, so that it will not delay His Majesty's schedule!"

Seeing that things were going so smoothly, Boss Cao raised his hand and saluted Emperor Xian. Then he turned to Wu Liang and Cao Ang and said, "Zixiu, you are talented. I will leave this matter to you two. Your Majesty will be punished."

The royal treasures must be counted one by one and arranged properly. If something goes wrong, it will be a disservice to the emperor."

"promise!"

Wu Liang and Cao Ang quickly bowed their heads and responded.

However, there is one detail worth noting.

Boss Cao had previously promised Lu Bu to allow him and Wu Liang to inspect the three treasures passed down from generation to generation of the Han Dynasty, but now Boss Cao arranged for Cao Ang and Wu Liang to go and count the royal treasures without mentioning Lu Bu.

If we say that Boss Cao accidentally forgot, this is definitely not true.

Since he remembered to do this for Wu Liang, he would never forget Lu Bu who took the initiative to ask for help that day.

Therefore, Wu Liang believes that this is Boss Cao expressing his dissatisfaction to Lu Bu in this way. This is not considered a break with Lu Bu, but it also gives Lu Bu some face, so as to teach him to be a little more restrained and not to think that he has won the title of Emperor Xian.

The little brat thinks he is already something big because of his backing.

"?"

When Lu Bu heard Boss Cao's arrangement, a look of confusion appeared on his face, and he couldn't help but look at Boss Cao.

But Boss Cao acted as if nothing had happened and did not look at him at all, as if he had completely forgotten what he promised Lu Bu that day.

And in this situation.

Lu Bu didn't know what to say, so he glanced sideways at Wu Liang and Cao Ang, and swallowed his words in frustration.

…

After meeting Emperor Xian, he exited together with Boss Cao and others.

Cao Ang immediately called Cao Zhen over again, took his troops and began to count the people and belongings accompanying Emperor Xian.

Cao Ang should have been notified by Boss Cao in advance. This inventory work gave Wu Liang a great deal of initiative. Wu Liang would definitely have a look at everything he counted before ordering someone to register it in the register.

Cao Zhen looked bored and yawned early: "Ah, it's really boring. I said Brother Zixiu, a talented and virtuous brother, you can just find someone to come over and do the counting for you. Why bother to guard it yourself?" I’m going over everything here, don’t you have anything else to do?”

"Brother Anmin, these are royal belongings. I am different from you. I was born in a humble birth and have never seen much of the world. Now I finally have the opportunity to see these things. I wish I could see them for a long time, so how can I find them boring."

Wu Liang said with a smile.

"Have you never seen the world? Stop pretending here!"

Cao Zhen immediately spat and cursed with a rather cryptic smile, "When you first went on business with me, you saw the golden mountains and dazzling array of treasures that could rival the country. Later, you traveled to many places. Which of those places?" You are not a prince or noble, and you have seen so many good things, why should you be so humble?"

"Brother Anmin, you can eat randomly, but you can't talk nonsense. Be careful that the walls have ears."

Although he knew that Cao Chen had tried his best to avoid the key information, Wu Liang still lowered his voice and reminded him.

"Anmin, what youcai said is absolutely correct. You must not say a word related to this again from now on."

Cao Ang also said to Cao Ang seriously.

"promise."

Cao Zhen had great respect for his cousin Cao Ang, and immediately stopped daring to talk nonsense with Wu Liang. He gave a very formal military salute and said, "Anmin knows that he was wrong, and he will be careful in his words and deeds in the future."

Cao Ang nodded slightly, then turned to look at Wu Liang, patted Wu Liang's shoulder, and said solemnly: "You are talented, so don't underestimate yourself in the future. You are a descendant of Wu Qi, a famous figure in the Warring States Period, and you are by no means born in a lowly position. You are a person from an upright and famous family, and I am afraid that there are not many noble people in the world who are more noble than you."

"You have to understand."

Wu Liang was stunned for a moment and could only nod his head.

Now the entire Cao family is sparing no effort to promote Wu Liang as a truly famous family.

Wu Liang also understood that they came here so that Cao Ni could marry happily and not bring down the face of the Cao family; secondly, this was also a good thing for Wu Liang to completely change his class.

But they didn't know that Wu Liang was not interested in this so-called noble status at all, and he was not very interested in Cao Ni. He just didn't want to touch their faces and had to passively accept it.
