Chapter 158 Planning to leave

Since meeting Cao Cao, Wang Yan has not left the door and stayed at home with Diao Chan every day. In a quiet moment, he has entered the first year of Chuping (190 AD). By now, Wang Yan has traveled to this era for nearly two years. In the past two years, with Wang Yan's efforts, both Wang Yan and Wang Yun have undergone great changes.

Wang Yanwen had Guo Jia, Hu Zhao, Zhuge Jin and others, Wu had Huang Zhong, Dian Wei, Guan Hai, Zang Ba and others, and secretly helped Wang Yue and Shi Axiang. The resources in his hands were getting richer and had an extraordinary foundation. At the same time, Wang Yun was released as an official and served as the governor of Qingzhou, and became a trump card for Wang Yan.

Wang Yan is no longer the one who has just traveled through time and can even bully him by a county magistrate.

January 3rd, this day is another court meeting.

According to the system, Cao Shuo was the Dianjun lieutenant and was in charge of the imperial guards and imperial guards. He had to go to court to discuss matters.

But five days ago, after Cao Cao did not come to court due to physical discomfort, five days later, there was no news about Cao Cao. As the prime minister of the court, Dong Zhuo had no news and felt uncomfortable, so he directly ordered a thorough investigation.

Li Ru immediately sent someone to investigate and found that Cao Cao's mansion had been empty, leaving only empty houses, and no one in the mansion was left.

After learning about this situation, Li Ru felt a little panicked.

What's going on?

Why did Cao Cao leave suddenly?

Could it be that Cao Cao learned from Yuan Shao and left Luoyang quietly? Li Ru immediately arranged someone to investigate with questions, and soon he discovered a problem. Before Cao Cao left, he met Wang Yan.

Immediately, Li Ru ordered Wang Yan to be invited.

Li's mansion, hall.

The guest and host sat down, Li Ru sat above and Wang Yan sat below.

Li Ru had a smile on his face and said earnestly: "My brother, how do you respect me?"

"I take good care of my subordinates," Wang Yan replied in a normal manner.

Li Ru said again: "Since that's the case, then you should cooperate with the investigation and help the Prime Minister find out the reason why Cao Cao left. I believe you already know that Cao Cao left Luoyang."

Wang Yan was very surprised and asked, "When did Cao Cao leave?"

Li Ru said: "Five days ago, Cao Cao disappeared. Cao Cao's departure caused the Prime Minister to be furious. After I sent someone to investigate, I found out that the last person Cao Cao met was you. So I called you here to find out about the situation in the world. If it weren't for the Prime Minister's order not to be punished, I would not have met you in the mansion, but in the yamen."

Wang Yan said: "Sir, if you suspect me, it will definitely be wronged. Just imagine, if I really have suspicion, will I stay? In this world, I will seize the opportunity to escape."

Li Ru nodded when he heard this, believing Wang Yan's words. Li Ru believed that with Wang Yan's eyesight, he could see that staying in Luoyang was a hostage and was to restrict Wang Yun.

Since Wang Yan chose to stay, it was impossible to conspire with Cao Cao.

Wang Yan continued: "When Cao Cao saw me in person, he did win over me and wanted me to murder the Prime Minister. But my father was valued by the Prime Minister and I was also well taken care of by the Prime Minister. In this case, I directly rejected Cao Cao."

Li Ru sneered in his heart, do you dare to murder the Prime Minister?

If Wang Yan successfully murders Dong Zhuo, everything will be fine. If it fails, Dong Zhuo will use Wang Yan to transfer back to Wang Yun and then kill the whole Wang family. From another perspective, Wang Yan is also subject to restraint everywhere in Luoyang.

Li Ru no longer doubted Wang Yan and asked, "Did Cao Cao say he wanted to escape?"

"No, if Cao Cao had asked him at that time, I would have told the Lord or Prime Minister a long time ago." Wang Yan explained: "In the age of time, Cao Cao just wanted me to be an official in Luoyang to make it easier for him to seek benefits for him and to get close to the Prime Minister. However, the Prime Minister took great care of me, so I refused directly."

Li Ruha laughed and said, "It seems that I have misunderstood you."

Wang Yan chuckled twice, as if he didn't take this matter to heart.

Li Ru's eyes rolled and asked, "Brother, Cao Cao abandoned his official position and fled from Luoyang. What do you think he would do?"

Wang Yan thought for a while and said, "It may be that he resigned and retired, and he will not be in office for the time being."

Li Ru sneered and said, "Do you plan to take the exam for the school? Cao Cao is very keen on power and cannot give up his official position. Especially since he has always wanted to support the Han Dynasty. In this case, after Cao Cao fled Luoyang, he might plan to establish another prince as the emperor like Wang Fen, the former governor of Jizhou. Or, Cao Cao might call on the princes to clear the emperor."

After hearing this analysis, Wang Yan was shocked.

After Cao Cao escaped from Luoyang, he was to call on the princes to serve the king, in other words, to clear the king's side.

Li Ru's inference is almost the same.

Wang Yan's face was filled with Gu Jing's unpredictableness and said slowly: "My sir's consideration makes sense, but after all, there are two options, so it's hard to determine which one is?"

Li Ru waved his hand and said, "I don't need to know which kind of Cao Cao choose? Because no matter which one it is, it requires strong strength to suppress it. The Prime Minister's commander has tens of thousands of powerful troops and tens of thousands of people who control strings. If Cao Cao dares to lead troops to defend the king, it will undoubtedly lead to his own destruction. If Cao Cao calls on the princes of the world to come to Beijing to defend the king, it will give the Prime Minister a chance to catch all the rebels in one place."

Wang Yan praised: "Adults are wise, boy admires them."

Li Ru asked again: "My brother thinks, how should we deal with Cao Cao?"

Wang Yan said: "It is not the responsibility of the subordinate officials to not be in his position and not to do their own affairs, and the subordinate officials are not clear about the degree of handling this. Therefore, the subordinate officials cannot give a specific solution."

Li Ru said: "Don't consider anything else, give me a way to deal with it."

Wang Yan thought carefully and said, "Since that's the case, Yu Qian ordered the county magistrates of each county to arrest Cao Cao with all their might." Wang Yan sneered in his heart. Cao Cao had been away for so many days and still left quietly. Now he still wanted to catch Cao Cao, almost looking for a needle in a haystack.

In history, Cao Cao's hastily fled Luoyang because he was exposed in assassination of Dong Zhuo and had to escape temporarily. So after Dong Zhuo's order to capture Cao Cao, Cao Cao struggled and was even caught by Chen Gong, the county magistrate of Zhongmu County. But this time it was different. Cao Cao was prepared for it and could not be caught.

Li Ru smiled and said, "My brother's handling method is good. I will arrange it now and order the counties to arrest Cao Cao."

Wang Yan said: "Sir, Cao Cao's case has been concluded and a plan to deal with it. Can the official leave?"

Li Ru said: "You are so unwilling to chat with me?"

Wang Yan said directly: "There is a difference between the upper and lower parts"

Li Ru laughed and waved his hand and said, "Go"

Wang Yan stood up, bowed and left Li Ru's mansion. After returning to the palace, Wang Yan invited Guo Jia to the study room to sit down. Wang Yan said the story of seeing Li Ru and said, "After Cao Cao returned to Chenliu, he would issue an edict to call on the princes of the world to attack Dong Zhuo. Once the edict was issued, I would also respond. Fengxiao, how is your plan to leave Luoyang?"

Guo Jia curled a confident smile on his lips and said, "It has been arranged." After a pause, Guo Jia said, "The bureau has been done, but now there is one of the most important links, that is, the cooperation of the Hero Building. If we want to leave the city safely, Shi A must participate, and the Hero Building must be reliable."

Wang Yan said: "I believe in Shi A and Wang Yue."

Guo Jia thought for a while and said cautiously: "Why would you like to invite me to the study and let me test it." From the time I planned to leave Luoyang to now, only Wang Yan and Guo Jia knew about it, and no one else told me. Once I told Shi A, it means that the scope was expanded and leaks might occur, so Guo Jia must confirm that Shi A is reliable.

Wang Yan nodded in agreement and ordered: "Come on, please come to Shi Ah to come."

"promise"

The attendant replied and went down to pass the order.

After a while, a knock on the door sounded outside the study, "Young Master, I am Shi Ah."

"Come in," Wang Yan said.

The door creaked, and Shi Amai walked in and saluted respectfully.

Wang Yan waved his hand and said, "Sit"

After Shi A sat down, Wang Yan signaled Guo Jia to ask.

Guo Jia stared at Shi A. At this moment, his eyes were unprecedentedly sharp. He even changed his previous frivolous and slutty image. His solemn expression made Shi A feel uncomfortable.

Shi A didn't know what happened, she was confused and felt a little nervous, so she could only respond to changes in the same way.

Guo Jia asked: "Shi, if you can only choose one between Wang Yan and Wang Yue, who would you choose?"

In a word, Shi A's face changed drastically.

Shi A didn't expect that such a thing was really unexpected. Shi A and Wang Yue's other disciples were different. Most of Wang Yue's other disciples were outside, and some had not even learned Wang Yue's swordsmanship, but Shi A was always with Wang Yue.

For Shi A, Wang Yue was both a teacher and a father.

In this case, Shi An could not make a choice.

Shi A was silent for a moment, stood up, and knelt down at Wang Yan with a pounce, saying, "Young Master, Shi A has been learning sword skills from the teacher since he was a child. For Shi A, the teacher is not only a teacher, but also like a father. In the past, when the humble position was defeated by the young master, and the teacher also agreed to follow the young master with the Hero Building, the teacher taught Shi Ah, and everything was subject to the order of the young master. Even if one day, the young master ordered Shi Ahti to aim his sword at him, he could not hesitate."

Speaking of this, Shi A's tone gradually became firmer, begging: "The teacher's kindness is like a mountain, and Shi A cannot refuse to repay it. No matter what mistake the teacher made, Shi A's willing to be punished for the teacher, just to save the teacher's life."

This statement showed Shi's attitude.

Shi A was willing to obey Wang Yan's orders, but only wanted to spare Wang Yue's life.

Guo Jia nodded unpredictably and agreed with Shi A's approach. If Shi A blindly obeyed Wang Yan, even the mentor who taught him could ignore him. Guo Jia could not believe such a person; however, if Shi A completely turned to Wang Yue, Guo Jia would not believe it.

In Shi A's answer, Wang Yue's instructions were added to simplify the matter.

Wang Yan then helped Shi A up and said, "It has nothing to do with Mr. Wang, this is just a test for Guo Jia. Because what you have to do next is not allowed to be revealed, even if it is your family, you cannot know it."

"Where is the teacher?" Shi A asked.

Wang Yan nodded and said, "Hero Building wants to participate, he can know."

"call"
