Chapter 32: Cao Cao's Envoy
Two days later, in the Marquis' Mansion in Chang'an, Wu Shun held a wooden box and knelt on one knee and said, "Reported to the lord, Yang Ding plotted to defect and was captured by his captain Zheng Yong. Then Dong Fengling ordered the beheading. This is Yang Ding's head."
Hearing this, Hu Cheer, who was standing next to him, immediately answered it, opened it and looked at Niu Fu, who was wearing a jade crown and a marquis costume, with a little beard, and looked even more majestic and deep, nodded and said, "Lord, it's Yang Ding."
After saying that, he gently placed the wooden box on the desk.
Niu Fu looked down and shook his head and said, "You can't live by committing your own evil deeds. Take it down and bury it!"
"promise"
Niu Fu looked at Wu Shun at this time and said softly: "You are from the Imperial City Department."
"That's true, lord" Wu Shun nodded.
"Since I'm back, don't leave. The Imperial City Department urgently needs talents in management and teaching. Go to Wenhe and he will arrange for you. I hope to see more subordinates as outstanding as you and loyal as you in the future," Niu Fu praised.
"promise"
"Go down!" Niu Fu waved.
"promise"
After Wu Shun left, looking at Niu Fu who sighed, Hu Cheer asked in confusion: "Master, you don't seem to be very happy."
"What's the matter worth being happy about? This kind of war to quell civil strife will hurt our own people. Fortunately, Dong Chengyouluo and the Imperial City Office have made arrangements, otherwise the casualties will be very serious. Such casualties and injuries will be the military strength of our Xiliang," Niu Fudao.
After hearing this, Hu Cheer nodded and said, "What the lord said is very true."
"Husband" At this time, Dong Yuer suddenly walked in from outside with two maids.
After taking a look, Niu Fu stood up and said softly: "Madam, why are you here?"
I don’t know what happened, but recently Dong Yuer took the initiative to take concubines for him, and they were all beautiful people. Now he already has a wife, a side wife, and a five-bedroom concubine. Although there are many people in the backyard and many troubles during this period, he is really comfortable to be served.
"Husband, I heard that my husband will leave the city in a few days and inspect Longxi," said Dong Yuer.
"Yes, I want to go see Hengyi, Wuwei and others for my husband." Niu Fu nodded and said that the most threatening to Guanzhong now are Ma Teng, Han Sui and others from Xiliang, so they must go and take a look.
"Oh!" Dong Yu'er's expression moved and said, "That's the birthday of Xian'er's sister, my husband seems to be unable to participate."
Niu Fu was stunned and said, "I almost forgot about this, let's do it! Take it as your husband to host! Remember, don't waste it too much."
"I understand"
After Dong Yu'er left, Niu Fu touched the beard slightly grown on his chin. Yu'er knew the general idea and asked him why he had to ask about this. It was just a small birthday.
"Lord, the servant is looking for a meeting." At this time, a personal soldier entered the house to report.
Niu Fu immediately came back to his senses and said, "Let him come in."
"promise"
Soon, in the inner hall, after reading the documents in his hand, Niu Fu sneered: "What a Cao Aman, you are not dead, I really can't sleep at night."
Hearing this, Li Ru was surprised when he arrived. This was the first time they saw their lord so afraid of someone.
In 192 AD, the Yellow Turban Army of Qingzhou was greatly won. It defeated Yanzhou counties and counties, and killed Yanzhou Governor Liu Dai, Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin and others welcomed Cao Cao as the governor of Yanzhou. Cao Cao and Bao Xin joined forces to attack the Yellow Turban Army, and received more than 300,000 surrendered soldiers and a population of more than one million. They occupied all the places in Yanzhou. The gentry, civil and military officials all submitted a letter to the court to grant the position of Yanzhou Governor. Cao Cao took the king as an envoy and entered Guanzhong to worship the emperor.
....
Two days later, in the Changling Marquis' Mansion, a gentle, calm and beautiful civil servant looked at Niu Fu who was smiling on the main seat, and his eyebrows were slightly locked. Yanzhou also heard about the chaos in Guanzhong. This time he came not far away a hundred miles. First, to make Cao Gong take over Yanzhou, the second time he used Cao Cao to see the specific situation in Guanzhong. However, he did not expect that this time, Guanzhong had returned to Xiliang's hands. Especially after Dong Zhuo's death, Niu Fu actually revived the army and established three dukes. Looking at the situation on Chang'an Street, it was not only not chaotic, but also very peaceful. It seems that after returning, he will report to the lord and focus on observation.
"Wang Bi, is Meng De's health okay?" Niu Fu asked softly after reading the above statement.
"Thank you for your care at Changling Hou. Everything is fine in the prefecture." Wang Bi immediately bowed and replied.
"Haha, that's good. Although everyone has had conflicts, I have always admired Meng De's civil and military achievements," Niu Fu said happily.
"The Marquis of Changling has been awarded too much. The Marquis was the hero at that time who could reverse the world, assist the emperor, and eliminate treacherous ministers in times of crisis." Wang Bi praised.
Niu Fu stood up with a smile and said, "This marquis is also lucky. It is much worse than Meng De. As today's chaos and the court is uneasy, Meng De has gained great power and is still loyal to the court. He is a rare sage. However, he is willing to join the court to assist in the government. This marquis will report to the emperor and give the three dukes and nine ministers to jointly support the Han country."
Wang Bi's face calmed down and said respectfully: "The Marquis's dearest, the governor of the state must be grateful. However, the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Yanzhou has not been completely quelled, and the people are also worried. The governor of the state probably needs some time."
"Is that?" Niu Fu immediately showed a disappointed expression and sighed: "The people are more important than everything. Since this is the case, I will not force it. I believe that Your Majesty will not only not delay the imperial edict of Yanzhou Governor, but will instead send a special person to read the imperial edict."
"Thank you, Marquis of Changling," Wang Bi said gratefully.
"You are welcome, tell Meng De that the emperor is wise and hopes that he will manage Yanzhou with all his heart and be loyal to the emperor. He must not be as crazy as others say, capable ministers who govern the world and treacherous heroes in troubled times! Hahaha, Niu Fu laughed loudly.
Wang Bi looked on and didn't say anything more, and bowed his head and bowed.
After Wang Bi left, Li Ru and Jia Xu came to Niu Fu's side. Looking at the cold face that instantly became cold, Li Ru curiously said: "Lord, it seems that he attaches great importance to Cao Cao."
"Really, I remember that I also seemed to have reported Yuan Shao's situation, but the lord just nodded, saying that Yuan Shao is so handsome and brave." Jia Xu also surprised that Yuan Shao's strength is obviously better than Cao Cao, and he was once the commander of the 18th Route Alliance Army, and even the descendants of the fourth generation and the third Duke, the Shilin.
Niu Fu smiled bitterly and said, "Do you think Yuan Shao is better than Cao Cao?"
"From the perspective of strength, Yuan Shao is strong, but judging from the situation of the 18th Route Alliance, Yuan Shao was a little indecisive. In addition, he said, "Li Ru sneered and said, "It was Yuan Shao who suggested that He Jin lead the Grand Tutor like Luoyang."
Niu Fu raised his lips and said nothing more. He was full of amazing talents in front of him. They would naturally understand Yuan Shao's situation in the future.
"I won't talk about this anymore. I don't have time to trouble the princes of Guandong yet." Niu Fu said, "This time Cao Cao sent someone to ask the governor of Yanzhou. This is a good opportunity and a breakthrough. The academy is about to be completed, and Guanzhong is basically stable. It is time for the world to understand that the emperor is still there."
"What the lord said is very true, and it happened to use this time to re-establish the orthodox Han Dynasty." Jia Xu immediately agreed.
"Yeah," Niu Fu nodded and said, "In addition to Cao Cao, all the princes who now occupy all prefectures and counties will be officially ordered to be awarded, especially Yuan Shao, who is now in the north, who is four generations and three dukes, will be sent to him and appointed him as a general. In addition, he will be given the Grand Marshal of the World to control all military and horses."
"promise"
"According to the system, if you reward, you need to express your gratitude. I want to see how many people care about the emperor and the great man," Niu Fudao.
Hearing this, Li Ru clasped his fists and said, "Will the lord's plan to inspect Longxi be temporarily put?"
"No! It will be done as scheduled. It is not good for them to be loyal. It is not good for them to be loyal. Guanzhong is our foundation. I have no time to wait for them to reply," said Niu Fu.
