Chapter 1241 The emperor's edict! The world attacks Cao
Xudu, the emperor's palace.
Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, Liu Xie, and Empress Fu sat opposite each other in the Forbidden Palace, surrounded by Cao Cao's party members and replaced by powerful winged cavalry.
"Your Majesty, what happened? Can we still be saved?" Empress Fu looked frightened and asked in a low voice.
Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty also looked panicked. He listened to the shouts of killing coming from outside the palace, then looked at the winged cavalry standing still like sculptures. He shook his head with a grimace and said, "I don't know whether I can be saved."
Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty asked about the winged cavalry. The soldiers were respectful and polite. However, when Emperor Xian tried to walk out of the palace gate, he was stopped by two winged cavalry.
According to what Bai Xiaowen had taught him in advance, the two winged cavalry saluted and said: "Young Master is commanding the army to wipe out the Cao family members in Xudu. Your Majesty, please do not leave lightly, lest you be persecuted by the thieves."
Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty asked: "Who is your young master?"
The wing cavalry replied: "The son of the general and the governor of Youzhou, Mr. Yuan Xi."
After hearing this, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty became even more depressed. He returned to his palace and sat down in front of the dragon bed, sighing endlessly.
After sitting like this for more than an hour (two hours), I suddenly heard a voice from outside the palace: "The young master has arrived!"
Then a slightly younger voice scolded: "Silence, don't disturb His Majesty."
"yes."
The young master's voice sounded again: "Has Your Majesty gone to bed?"
Hussar: "Never."
"Communicate with me that Yuan Xi, the governor of Youzhou, has paid homage to your majesty and begs your majesty to summon him."
"yes."
Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty heard clearly, and without waiting for the announcement, he repeatedly ordered: "Xuan, Xuan quickly... No, please come in quickly."
Bai Xiaowen straightened his clothes (transformation), performed all the etiquette, and waited until the bodyguards represented by the Hussars passed the news. Then he lowered his head and entered the palace, knelt on the ground and bowed respectfully as a minister.
"Your Majesty, Yuan Xi, is here to greet you! Your Majesty was too late to come to your rescue, which caused Your Majesty to be humiliated as a national thief and deserve death!"
Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty felt a little relieved and said: "You don't have to be polite, please get up and speak."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Bai Xiaowen stood up, but his face was stained with tears, and his sleeves were wet: "My father is in Jizhou. He misses Your Majesty day and night. He often wishes he could break into Xudu, get rid of the national traitors, and welcome Your Majesty! If I know that I have fulfilled his long-cherished wish, I will definitely be happy.
."
Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty said with some surprise: "General (referring to Yuan Shao), is this really true?"
Having said this, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty showed hesitation and doubt in his eyes, but he quickly calmed down.
Bai Xiaowen knew what Emperor Xian of Han wanted to say.
At the beginning, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty led civil and military officials, but they were bullied by thieves such as Li Jue and Guo Si. They smuggled themselves across the Yellow River to Shanxi. They were so exhausted that they could not even eat a full meal. They could only eat dates and chestnuts as food, and the clothes they wore were in tatters.
.
After Yuan Shao captured Jizhou and established a foundation, it was Jushu who first persuaded Yuan Shao to welcome the emperor.
However, Yuan Shao did not do this for two reasons.
First, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty Liu Xie was appointed by Dong Zhuo. When Liu Xie was established, Yuan Shao had clearly expressed his opposition.
Second, Yuan Shao was ambitious and short-sighted - as the most powerful warlord at the time, he regarded the emperor as a burden and stumbling block, and felt that the Han Dynasty had declined and the emperor was of no use.
As for later Cao Cao welcomed the emperor and used the emperor to command the princes and all the Guanzhong area to surrender. Whether Yuan Shao regretted it or not is unknown.
Bai Xiaowen also knew that with this cheap dad's thin skin, even if he regretted it, he would never tell anyone about it.
"Your Majesty, my father's hope for Your Majesty is as clear as the sun and the moon!"
Bai Xiaowen knew that empty talk was useless, so he quickly changed the subject: "Recently, my father heard about the evil deeds of the national thief Cao Cao and Xu Tian, who arbitrarily killed ministers, bullied the emperor, and slaughtered noble concubines. He was so angry that he fainted several times. So, my father
The righteous soldiers were raised, and they were ordered by Your Majesty to attack Cao Cao's traitors. I was sent by my father to lead the army south, and I was lucky enough to conquer Xudu. This is all thanks to Your Majesty's great blessing."
Mentioning Xu Tian's transgression and massacre of the imperial concubine, the painful memories once again appeared in front of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.
[Concubine Dong Guifei was five months pregnant at that time, and she cried and asked me to save her, save her... As a noble person, I begged Cao Cao to let the concubine live! But I am incompetent, incompetent.
...]
[I can only watch Concubine Dong die in front of me...]
Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty had red eyes and asked in a low voice: "Ai Qing, has Cao Cao been defeated?"
After hearing these words, Bai Xiaowen suddenly woke up.
Cao Cao treated Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty like a pig, and his internal and external guards were all members of the Cao family. Of course, he would not reveal any major military information to him. Therefore, regarding the war between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, Emperor Xian Emperor of the Han Dynasty only knew that the two warlords were at war, but the specific process and so on
, no idea at all.
Seeing that Yuan Shao's son actually led troops into Xudu this time, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was confused about the situation and thought that Cao Cao had been defeated across the board.
Bai Xiaowen's mind moved slightly, and he carefully considered the words and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, Cao Cao is already at the end of his strength, and he will be defeated within ten months."
"Okay, okay!" Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty spit out a bad breath, "The thief deceived you and ignored me. I can't wait to eat his flesh and sleep on his skin!"
Bai Xiaowen immediately said: "Your Majesty, the plan to attack Cao Cao has not yet been completely successful. Cao's army is still resisting in Guandu, and the heroes of the world are watching from the sidelines. I suggest that your Majesty issue an edict to order all the princes to attack Cao to speed up the defeat of Cao's thieves.
"
Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty hesitated and said: "Are you saying that Cao Cao is at the end of his strength..."
Bai Xiaowen quickly said: "Having said that, Cao Cao is so powerful that he is like a centipede insect that does not freeze even if it dies. If there are no heroes from all over the world to work together, it will take a lot of effort to destroy Cao Cao."
Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty excused himself: "In today's world, there are probably not many loyal ministers who are willing to take orders to punish thieves."
Bai Xiaowen said with a serious face: "Why is Your Majesty so pessimistic? Although the world is in chaos, heroes from all walks of life still love the Han Dynasty. This is God's will. If even Your Majesty wants to give up, wouldn't it chill the hearts of loyal ministers and people with lofty ideals?
Withering? The twenty-fourth generation of late emperors have spirits, and they would not want to see His Majesty be so passive."
When Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty saw the change in Bai Xiaowen's expression, he felt a little softer: "I...if I issue an edict to punish the traitor, can I guarantee that the traitor Cao will be destroyed?"
Bai Xiaowen raised his hand and swore: "If I cannot destroy Cao's thieves, I am willing to die by the sword!"
Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty quickly advised: "You don't need to swear such a heavy oath. I have been determined to get rid of the thieves for a long time, but my hatred is beyond my power. If I can kill the traitor Cao, you will definitely take the lead."
At that moment, the winged cavalrymen found pen and ink, and Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty wrote it himself, and wrote an edict against thieves.
Bai Xiaowen was "overjoyed" when he saw the book and hurriedly ordered people to make many copies and stamp them all with the Emperor's Seal.
Afterwards, envoys were sent with the edict to punish the thieves, and they went to Jingzhou, Yangzhou, Yizhou, and Liangzhou to order them to attack Cao Cao. The edict written by Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was sent together with Bai Xiaowen's family letter.
A reliable person - Li Shuyi was sent to the Guandu camp.
"With this edict, the general trend of the world's attack on Cao will be completed!"
In fact, Bai Xiaowen also knew that the princes from all walks of life waved flags and shouted a lot, but few actually raised troops to fight against the thieves. However, this is the orthodox attitude from the Han Dynasty, which can drive Cao Cao's group into the abyss of eternal destruction!
Apart from anything else, it is impossible for the Guanzhong family alone to continue to support Cao Cao as before.
After Bai Xiaowen thanked the emperor, he did not leave. He bowed and said again:
"Xu Du cannot stay for a long time. I ask your majesty to move your army and move the capital to Yecheng!"
