Three Kingdoms: Jiehu becomes stronger from the beginning of Taoyuan's three knots

Chapter 44 Cao Cao's Careful Thoughts

The gate of Liu's Mansion was slammed shut, and Qin Yao led a dozen soldiers with bruised noses and swollen faces, standing at the gate in a mess in the wind.

"What is the origin of Liu Ce? The forbidden army dares to fight? There is simply no law!"

"My lord, calm down, let's go back to see the doctor soon..."

"Look at the hydrangea ball! Keep watch at the door for me. No one is allowed to leave until my dear grandpa has spoken!"

As a result, a group of watchdogs of the imperial guards appeared in front of Liu Ce's mansion.

On the other side, Cao Cao's residence.

At this time Cao Cao was discussing Liu Ce with his confidant Wang Bi.

"My lord, Liu Ce has brought a total of 810 people to Luoyang this time, and many of them are capable warriors."

Wang Bi reported the information very seriously, while Cao Cao drank tea calmly.

"I know all of this. I asked you to find out if there is any progress in the secret communication between him and the ten permanent attendants?"

Wang Bi frowned immediately after hearing this, and then said slowly with a little apology.

"They did this matter very secretly, and the subordinates haven't found any definite evidence for the time being! However, I have already ordered Li Qian to send Bi Lan's god-son to guard Liu's residence according to your instructions. It will not be long before the two of them We will be eager to meet in secret."

Cao Cao nodded in satisfaction after hearing this.

"That's good! Let the eyeliners around Liu's mansion be excited, and if there is any trouble, report it immediately!"

Wang Bi clasped his fists to agree, and then he mentioned another matter full of worry.

"My lord, Wang Fen is still waiting for a reply, look..."

When he said this, Wang Bi was very careful, for fear that he would annoy Cao Cao if he didn't say a word correctly.

Cao Cao let out a long breath after hearing this, then frowned slightly and looked at Wang Bi and said.

"This Wang Fen is also very courageous. He thinks that Liu Ce has helped him for a few years and he has really settled in Jizhou? Abolish the emperor and replace him with the Marquis of Hefei. Fortunately, he has the courage to think about it!"

After hearing this, Wang Bi immediately laughed awkwardly, and then waited for Cao Cao's mood to ease up before speaking.

"This subordinate heard that Xu You, Zhou Jing and several other adults have formed an alliance with him in private, and it seems that they are waiting for your lord to express their views."

Cao Cao sighed heavily after hearing this, then shook his head slowly and said.

"I know that their original intention was to get rid of the eunuchs, so they resorted to this tactic. But now the time has not come, so don't move lightly! Once there is a mistake, it will be a situation where everything will be lost."

Cao Cao could tell that Wang Bi was more inclined to Wang Fen's idea, after all, they were all members of the same clan.

Therefore, Cao Cao deliberately made his words more transparent, hoping that Wang Bi would tell Wang Fen that the policy of abolishing the emperor should not be used lightly.

"My lord, this subordinate understands what you mean. Then I will write a letter back to Mr. Wang."

Cao Cao hummed lightly after hearing this, and then spoke slowly.

"Is there any news from Chen Liu?"

After hearing this, Wang Bi slowly shook his head and said.

"The news was only received a few days ago, and there has been no movement recently."

Cao Cao thought for a while and frowned slightly.

"Then you also write a letter for me, admonishing Cao Ren, Xia Hou and others to act in a hidden manner and wait patiently for the changing of the sky..."

Wang Bi clasped his fists in his promise, and then slowly exited the room.

In the Luoyang Palace, Emperor Han Ling was having fun and chatting with three eunuchs Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, and Bi Lan.

"Bi Lan, is Jizhou really as good as you say?"

Hanling Emperor Liu Hong was playing with the arrow feathers of the throwing pot, while turning his head to look at Bi Lan curiously.

Seeing this, Bi Lan hurriedly bowed and said with a smile.

"It all depends on Your Majesty's great blessings! With the help of Wang Fen and Liu Ce, the Huangzhuang and temples in Hejian were completed a year ahead of schedule, and they are waiting for your Majesty to come and inspect them in person."

Hearing this, Zhao Zhong immediately went up to speak for Liu Ce, after all, he has not lost gold from others in recent years.

"Your Majesty, my servant heard that Liu Ce had arrived in Luoyang the day before yesterday. Why don't you order him to come into the palace and tell you in person? He just came from Jizhou. You can tell if the servants have spoken."

Seeing these two guys trying so hard to speak for Liu Ce, Zhang Rang immediately understood what it meant.

These two guys must have received a lot of favor fees, right?

Grandma's, I don't remember calling Lao Tzu when I get rich!

Thinking of this, Zhang Rang showed a treacherous smile on his face.

"Your Majesty, servants often hear that Liu Ce is generous! There are hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban captives in Ye County and Wei County! If it seems that Master Liu is really capable, otherwise he would not be able to get so many. forage."

Liu Hong's eyes lit up when he heard this, and then he turned to look at Bi Lan.

"Is there such a thing?"

Bi Lan's heart skipped a beat when she heard Zhang Rang's words.

It seems that he doesn't look down on other people to get rich!

"Reporting to the emperor, Master Liu is really interesting. Every time he wins the yellow scarf bandits, he catches them to plant the land, and after a wave, he will open up a wasteland. After a long time, there will be more people! But there will be more land , the tribute to Jizhou in the past three years is the top of the list!"

After hearing this, Liu Hong nodded slowly and said.

"Well, I have an impression of this! I also said at the time that the governor Wang Fen has done a solid job!"

Seeing that the emperor did not anger Liu Ce, Zhang Rang immediately made another plan.

"Your Majesty, since Mr. Liu is so capable, why don't you ask him to spend more money and let him build another palace in Yecheng! Then when you go north to nostalgia, you will have a resting place on the way."

Liu Hong nodded very satisfied after hearing this.

"That's an idea, it's a good idea! But it's a bit petty to build a palace, and it's the right thing to ask him to build more summer resorts in the north! Well, not bad..."

Zhang Rang saw that the emperor was quite good at drawing inferences from one example, and he was instantly happy.

Seeing this, Bi Lan and Zhao Zhong just glanced at each other wordlessly, neither of them dared to say anything.

"Have someone announce Liu Ce to the palace! I am very interested in his matter of capturing captives and farming! Bi Lan, go and deliver the decree yourself!"

When Bi Lan heard the words, she immediately clasped her fists in agreement, and then slowly stepped back and left on her own.

On the other side, Liu Ce was walking along Luoyang Street with Zhang Fei and Dian Wei.

Suddenly, a burst of beautiful music came from a restaurant next to the three of them.

For a moment, Liu Ce was so attracted by the sound of the piano that it was difficult to move any further.

"This piano player is probably a great beauty, right? Just listening to the music, you can feel an indescribable tenderness."

Liu Ce couldn't help but turned around and looked in the direction of the restaurant and said.

Zhang Fei and Dian Wei glanced at each other, but there was a dull expression on their faces.

"Old Dian, did you hear anything?"

Hearing this, Dian Wei immediately shrugged his nose and said.

"I can hear it, it's the smell of Dukang wine!"

Zhang Fei was taken aback when he heard the words, and then he sniffed hard and said.

"Well, that's the taste! Brother, why don't we go in and taste the piano?"

Liu Ce immediately rolled his eyes when he heard this.

Try the piano?
Qin has Dukang taste?
You two senior alcoholics are probably alcohol addicts, right?
"Forget it! Let's go in and have a rest. I'll go taste the piano, and you go taste the wine!"

Zhang Fei and Dian Wei burst into laughter immediately after hearing this, and then followed Liu Ce into the tavern.
