440 Move to Xuchang 2

After hearing this, Cao Cao's eyes lit up, and then sighed: "Now, although our army has eliminated the army of Li Kui and Guo Si, these two thieves do not know where to escape, and it is not easy to find their place to stay. If you don't kill these two thieves, you will have hidden dangers. The two thieves still have a certain appeal in the west. After a long time, I am worried that they will make a comeback."

After hearing this, Dong Zhao said, "Ming Gong, Li Kui, Guo Si, two thieves, are now tigers without sharp claws and birds without wings. What else can they do? I guess it won't take long for these two thieves to be captured by Ming Gong, so why don't you mind the shadow of the two thieves?"

Cao Cao and Dong Zhao were very happy because of their speculative words. After a while, their relationship rose to a higher level. Both sides felt that they hated each other and met late. Cao Cao was also very happy. Seeing that Dong Zhao was full of knowledge, very talented and dignified, he said to Dong Zhao: "Gong Ren, don't you know what major things are taught in the court?"

When Dong Zhao heard this, hehe, aren’t you going to teach me the knowledge? Since we are so destined to join you, it is a good choice. Of course, I have to show my abilities in front of you, otherwise even if I get to your hands in the future, you will not use me. Besides, with the current situation, you will definitely control the government and have the power in your hands. Other officials in the court dare to challenge you easily. You are now holding heavy troops. If anyone wants to die in multiple battles, then no one can live for a long time, and I will not dare to offend you.

After looking at Cao Cao, Dong Zhao said, "Ming Gong, you have promoted the Yi army and personally led a large army to pacify the ruling, eliminate the riots, and make great achievements for the court and the emperor. Now, Ming Gong has entered the court to assist the emperor, which is what people want to do, but all officials in the court, no one in all the officials in the court will submit to Ming Gong. Some of them will definitely withdraw the Ming Gong's steps and make some small moves behind Ming Gong. This is inevitable. If Ming Gong stays here to assist the emperor, there will probably be many inconveniences, especially what should the two states of Yan and Yu under the jurisdiction of Ming Gong? If Ming Gong does not control Yan and Yu, what should Ming Gong support himself in the court? If Ming Gong assists the emperor in Luoyang, who will let Yan and Yu preside over the two states?"

Cao Cao nodded while listening. As soon as Dong Zhao finished speaking, Lao Cao asked, "What should Gongren teach me?" After that, Cao Cao stood up and gave a big gift to Dong Zhao.

After returning the ceremony, Dong Zhao said: "Ming Gong, the best way is to move the emperor to Xuchang and rebuild the palace and temple there. This way the court is very close to Ming Gong, which is easy to control and manage the two states of Yan and Yu. If Ming Gong helped the emperor to build the palace and temple in Luoyang, it would be difficult for Ming Gong to take care of all matters in the court. Ming Gong only can only make extraordinary achievements by moving the emperor to Xuchang and doing extraordinary things. Of course, this is just my own simple statement. What should I do specifically, Ming Gong should make his own decisions and make up his mind."

After hearing this, Cao Cao was overjoyed and asked again: "Gongren, if the emperor was moved to Xuchang, how would the ministers in the court agree? If they disagree, I would not dare to force them."

After hearing this, Dong Zhao laughed and said, "Ming Gong, this matter is very easy. As long as Ming Gong tells the ministers in the court that there is no food supply in Luoyang City, it is very inconvenient to transport food and grass. In addition, Shaoyang is now in ruins, and there are only dozens of people here. If you want to build a royal palace, there is no manpower to requisition. As long as you move to Xuchang, which is closer to Yanzhou, only Yanzhou can provide food and grass in the court. By then, even if the officials in the court don't want to go, they have to go. After all, everyone has to eat, and they can't just go to cultivate immortals."

After hearing this, Cao Cao was even more excited and expressed his gratitude to Dong Zhao. He also said to Dong Zhao that if there was any difficult thing, he would come to ask Gongren for advice. This made Dong Zhao happy. After all, he tied up a wealthy man. After Dong Zhao said goodbye, Cao Cao first went to the palace to see the station emperor.

A few days later, Cao Cao immediately summoned all his advisers and generals to the tent to secretly study the capital migration. This is the top priority that Lao Cao must solve at present. If he only solves this matter well, the road to fighting for hegemony will be much smoother in the future.

Of course, Lao Cao was a hero after all, and he was very good at pretending to be a god. He also knew that if he wanted to convince his subordinates, he had to use celestial phenomena, superstition and other activities to cheer and make people believe that it was the meaning of heaven. Just as Liu Bang, the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty, did it, saying that he was the son of the Red Emperor and the White Snake was the son of the White Snake. Because Bai Emperor did many unrighteous actions and harmed the people of the world, the Red Emperor asked his son Liu Bang to kill the White Snake, saying that this was the arrangement of heaven and the arrangement of gods, etc., and that a lot of nonsense, deceived the world into being unable to distinguish between the east, south, west and north. Of course, the purpose was to achieve his ambitions and dominate the world.

Cao Cao first asked the King of Astronomy to borrow the nonsense of celestial phenomena to talk nonsense, and then asked fortune tellers, Taoists and others to fool them, and they were like spreading them in Shaoyang City. Then he used Xun Yu's extensive knowledge to explain the specific content and statements to everyone, so that all the civil and military officials under his command would know that a new emperor would appear in Xuchang, and the Han Dynasty had exhausted its vitality. He also said that the Han Dynasty was the King of Fire De, and Cao Cao belonged to earth. Xuchang also belonged to earth. If he arrived in Xuchang, it would definitely be that fire could produce earth and earth could flourish wood.

After Cao Cao unified the thoughts of his subordinates and officials, he let everyone know that Lao Cao was the one sent by God to save the people of the world and came to save the people in dire straits. In this way, the thoughts of everyone within Lao Cao were highly unified, and everyone would form a group and work together to bear the advantages and disadvantages of any unexpected things.

A few days later, Cao Cao came to the court to meet the little emperor and told the little emperor: "Sage, the Luoyang imperial capital has been deserted for a long time, with hundreds of miles of deserted people everywhere, and there are only a few ruins in Luoyang City. Now if you want to build the Luoyang imperial capital, it will be difficult to climb to the blue sky, and you cannot find a man to build the Luoyang imperial capital. In addition, the transportation of food and grass is very difficult, and it is difficult to ensure the supply of food and grass and supplies of Luoyang imperial capital. Xuchang is relatively close to Luyang, the Xuchang city walls are intact, and the palaces are relatively more, which can meet the needs of the royal family. What is important is that the money and food there are enough for the court to use, and the food and grass are transported, and the materials are also more convenient. So my minister asks the emperor to move to Xuchang, and I will always obey the emperor, please think twice."

Old Cao now has heavy troops in his hands, and the little emperor and the court have the strength to challenge. In this case, the little emperor had to obey Cao Cao's arrangements. The ministers in the court were also afraid of the heavy troops in Cao Cao's hands and did not dare to offend Cao Cao easily, otherwise they would lose their lives at any time, so no one in the court dared to object.

Cao Cao was even more happy when he saw that the big thing was done. He didn't want to stay in Luoyang for more time. After all, it was not very safe. Who knows if someone would have the idea of ​​attacking the little emperor? Only by transferring the little emperor to his own sphere of influence would it be relatively safe, otherwise variables would happen at any time.

After choosing auspicious days, Cao Cao led a large army to escort the emperor to Xuchang, and the ministers in the court followed him. Along the way, he slowly advanced towards Xuchang. When the emperor walked dozens of miles and arrived at Yigao Mausoleum, he suddenly shouted loudly, and gongs and drums were loud. A soldier blocked the way. Yang Feng was the one who led the army. Yang Feng shouted loudly: "Cao Cao, where are you going to kidnap the emperor?"

Cao Cao looked up and found that it was Yang Feng who blocked his way. Cao Cao was now intent on preaching to him, so he immediately asked Xu Zhu, Cao Hong, Xiahou Dun and others to lead a large army to kill the generals. Yang Feng was an opponent. Yang Feng's own bravery was only a third-rate character, and it was impossible for him to resist the fight of Cao Cao's powerful generals. He did not have Xu Huang's help now. In just a moment, Yang Feng's army was killed by Cao Cao's army and abandoned his armor. Yang Feng saw the opportunity early and saw that he could not resist, so he immediately flashed his head and led hundreds of personal soldiers to flee to Yuan Shu.

In a day, the emperor and his party arrived safely in Xuchang under the escort of Cao Cao's army. Cao Cao immediately arranged for people to build palaces, temples, new ancestral temples, new ancestral temples, provinces, departments, and courtyards, and rebuilt cities and treasurys. In order to stabilize his position, Cao Cao of course knew that he would win over a group of important officials in the court, so that no one would dare to go against him in the court, and he could better control the court. Therefore, Cao Cao asked the young emperor to grant Dong Cheng and thirteen other marquis. Those who have made merits would be rewarded, and those who have committed guilt would be severely punished. All of these matters would be handled by Cao Cao's will.

Of course, Cao Cao would not only be appointed as the officials in the court. He would definitely give his civil and military officials the title of official positions. These people are his die-hard fans, and these people will sincerely work for Lao Cao. Even if they want to control the court and control the little emperor, they still need to handle the specific affairs of the civil and military officials. You can't let Lao Cao deal with the matter himself. For this reason, Cao Cao proclaimed himself the General Wuping Hou and asked Xun Yu to be the Minister of the Secretariat (a hundred officials).

The leader), Xun You was the military advisor (the former military advisor Xi Zhicai had already died of illness.), Cheng Yu was the priest of Sima, Liu Ye was the steward of Sikong's warehouse, Mao Jie, Ren Jun was the general of the Diannong, and was responsible for urging and supervising money and grain. Xu You was the prime minister of Dongping, Fan Cheng, Dong Zhao was the dictator of Luoyang, Man Chong was the dictator of Xu Du, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong was the general, Lu Qian, Li Dian, Le Jin, Yu Jin, Cao Mao was the lieutenant of the school, Xu Chu, Cao Chun, Che Zhou were all the chief lieutenant; the rest of the soldiers were each given official titles.

Since then, the power of the court was under the control of Cao Cao. The big and small matters of the court had to be reported to Cao Cao first. Only after Cao Cao agreed could he report it to the emperor. From then on, Cao Cao truly began the pattern of wielding the emperor to command the princes, which gave Cao Cao a greater space to display his talents, created a new starting point for Cao Cao to fight for the world, and laid a solid foundation for Cao Cao's rise.
