At the court in Luoyang, Cao Mengde held a green sword in his hand and sat on the steps in front of the dragon chair. In front of him, there were people on both sides. At this time, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty Liu Xie was trembling on the side and looked at him in fear. By Cao Mengde.
Tang Ji held the child on one side and said nothing. Her face was cold and she said nothing.
Cao Mengde said: "I captured both Chang'an and Luoyang... But now there are two imperial courts in the world. As a Han official, I will never allow such an existence."
"What Duke Ming said is that you should replace him yourself?" Cheng Yu cautiously stepped forward and said.
"Absurd! How could I do such an arrogant thing when I was honored by the Han Dynasty... I mean, in front of me, there is a real emperor and a fake emperor. What do you think... if he is a fake emperor, what should I do? Dispose of it?" Cao Mengde said with a smile, he was actually peeling a pear with the green sword.
Guo Jia took a step forward: "The fake emperor, since he is a fake, should be killed for treason..."
"Then tell me, which one is true and which one is false?" Cao Mengde said playfully.
Originally, Cao Mengde was safe in Yanzhou, but it happened that Guo Jia decided on this overlord strategy for him. Cao Mengde immediately unified and launched two simultaneous attacks to intercept the emperor, but now there were two emperors, which gave Boss Cao a headache. .
Among the counselors in the world in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhuge Liang naturally ranks first, and he is the one Li Yuguo tries his best to win over. But winning over Zhuge Liang is naturally not a simple matter. Similarly, in addition to Zhuge Liang, there are many other certain people. when.
Prime Minister Zhuge collected two rivers in his life, arranged eight formations, captured Western Shu, conquered the Southern Barbarians, left Qishan six times, captured Meng Huo seven times, and assisted Liu Bei in establishing the Shu Han. With such great achievements, it is not an exaggeration to call him the first. Although Sima Yi also traveled through He came here, but he has also been a close friend of Zhuge Liang for a long time.
However, both of them knew that in addition to Zhuge Liang, there was actually another uncanny figure, that is, the genius Guo Jia. In terms of intelligence, Guo Jia was not weaker than Zhuge Liang at all, and was even better than Zhuge Liang.
For example, in the art of recognizing people, Guo Jia was not Cao Mengde's counselor at first, but was committed to Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao respected him very much. At that time, Yuan Shao was the world-recognized leader of the Eighteenth Route Princes. In addition, he had the background of the fourth and third princes of Yuan Shao's family. , it can be said that Yuan Shao was at his most prosperous. Under such circumstances, he could still treat a counselor so kindly. I believe that anyone else would be grateful to him. But Guo Jia was different. After seeing clearly that Yuan Shao was unlikely to achieve great things, Guo Jia He resolutely abandoned it and gave up everything Yuan Shao could bring him. Later, after defecting to Cao Mengde, Guo Jia showed his extraordinary talents.
When Cao Mengde's army was shaken, he put forward the famous theory of "ten wins and ten defeats", which revived the fighting spirit of Cao Mengde's soldiers and established the victory of the Battle of Guandu. In the days that followed, he helped Cao Mengde win the battle. Lu Bu conquered Hebei and destroyed Wuheng. It can be said that it was because of Guo Jia and Cao Mengde that they were able to seize their own foundation and develop their own power in troubled times.
The most talked about Zhuge Liang is Longzhong Dui. His far-sighted thinking directly determined the future pattern of the world being divided into three parts. However, compared to Zhuge Liang, Guo Jia actually saw it more thoroughly. He was divided among the heroes at that time. , when the princes competed for hegemony, Guo Jia made accurate judgments on each prince, and often helped Cao Mengde overcome many difficulties at important time points.
Moreover, there was a saying that Guo Jia was immortal and Crouching Dragon could not come out. Of course, this coincidence also has elements of later generations' myths in it, but it also highlights Guo Jia's unparalleled intelligence from the side. The reason why Guo Jia is not as well-known as Zhuge Liang Gao, entirely because he lived for too short a time. On the way to pacify the Wu Heng class, due to the unsuitable climate, harsh weather, and the fact that he traveled day and night and was overworked, Guo Jia died of illness at the age of thirty-seven. A generation of geniuses passed away.
But now, Guo Jia has appeared early, and Cao Mengde's ambition has been exposed early.
In terms of money, Sima Yi remained silent. He knew that his end was coming, and struggling and begging for mercy now would only make him die faster, so he chose to remain silent to deal with all Cao Mengde's suspicions.
Cao Mengde is actually a very complicated person, and it is difficult for outsiders to understand his heart. Even Sima Yi, who has traveled from later generations, cannot completely understand Cao Mengde's details.
But Cao Mengde looked at Guo Jia. As soon as Cao Mengde finished speaking, Guo Jia said: "Obviously, Liu Xie was given by the traitor Dong, and it was the traitor Dong who established the emperor. The name is not justified, but this Liu Fu is different, Liu Fu is the son of the Young Emperor Liu Bian arranged by Emperor Ling personally, and he is the Young Emperor's eldest son and only son, so he should inherit the throne."
Cao Mengde laughed loudly, and Cheng Yu next to him covered his mouth and said: "Emperor Xian is already ten years old, and he has been working under Sima Yi and Dong Zhuo, so it is not easy to make him the master's plaything. It takes time to ink cartridges. But this little baby is different. What Fengxiao just meant was that if this little baby is the emperor, then Duke Ming can make himself the Minister of Gu Ming, and what Duke Ming says then will be the imperial edict!"
"Hahaha! Come here, capture Liu Xie, the traitor who usurped the throne, and behead him immediately. According to the law of the king, how can there be two emperors in the world? The Han Dynasty should only have one emperor!" Cao Mengde said and took a look. Tang Ji.
Tang Ji's charm is still there, but she is only twenty years old, so she is still a beautiful lady.
Cao Mengde loved his wife, so he couldn't covet her at this time. It was just because of her position as Queen Mother, so he just coveted her without being rude.
Tang Ji could pick it up and put it down. She hugged Liu Fu and said expressionlessly, "Thank you, Mr. Cao, for saving me."
"Hahaha! The Queen Mother is indeed as rumored. She is very good at assessing the situation, and her eyes are very bright. You are right, I am the loyalty of the big man, the first loyalty of the big man. Now I am here to welcome the king and go to Xuchang!" Cao Mengde's eyes brightened , said slowly.
Tang Ji was shocked: "Xuchang?"
"Any objection?"
"No, no, everything is subject to Master Cao's arrangements." Tang Ji gritted her teeth and said, thinking of Li Hugo, she couldn't help but worry, "I wonder what General Li is like?"
"General Li is fighting with Lu Bu. He cannot protect himself, so naturally he cannot protect the court, so it is up to me to support him." Cao Mengde had already thought of his words, and it was perfect and watertight!
At this time, Cheng Yu whispered again: "Ming Gong, General Li's wife Diao Chan... is as beautiful as a fairy, unparalleled in heaven and on earth. Now she is waiting for Ming Gong at the inn."
"Oh, who is Li Huguo's wife?" Cao Mengde's eyes glowed like a hungry wolf.
