Three Kingdoms

When Fei Qian followed Cai Yong back, Cai Yong still looked sad.

After entering the city, Cai Yong had no intention of talking to Fei Qian, so the two separated and went home.

Fei Qian was walking halfway when he suddenly noticed a figure who looked like Cao Cao at the corner of the street in front of him. Just as he was about to say hello, he saw the figure turned the corner and disappeared.

Forget it, I don’t know if that’s true, but what is Cao Cao doing now? I haven't seen him recently, and I don't seem to have heard much from him.

Fei Qian thought about it. According to his memory, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms seemed to say that Cao Cao and Wang Yun hooked up, and then took a sword to assassinate Dong Zhuo?

Logically speaking, it can be said to a certain extent, but judging from Fei Qian's recent meetings with Cao Cao, would Cao Cao, with his suspicious personality, be so cheerful and attack with a knife like a hot-blooded young man?

Fei Qian muttered to himself, thinking that if Cao Cao really got the seven-star sword, he would probably turn around and offer it to Dong Zhuo, and then run away from Luoyang, claiming all the way that he offered the sword to Dong Zhuo after his assassination failed...

This is in line with Cao Cao's character, isn't it?

Ah, Zhang Liao still needs to practice the Zhongping Shot Home, at least to master it completely before the ointment wears off...

Sadly, it feels more and more like we are running out of time.

The situation is getting more and more tense now. After Yuan Shao left, Cao Cao fled, and then there was a battle at Hulao Pass. When Hulao Pass was blocked by the Kwantung Allied Forces, even if he wanted to leave, he would have no choice...

But now there are so many things on hand——

Old man Liu Hong and Liu left, leaving behind a pile of textbooks and homework...

Cai Yan didn't know what offended her. There were also a lot of books and tablets that needed to be copied...

The self-defense shot Zhang Liao teaches...

Fei Qian shook his head, with a sad look on his face - Why can't I learn something immediately after traveling through time? In those time-travel dramas I have watched in the past, people always picked up on me and called me lord. I could learn anything easily and master it in a blink of an eye. I could challenge Lu Bu and Guan Yu due to my strength, and I could fool Zhuge and Sima with my intelligence. How did I end up here? I am cautious when I see everyone, and I feel sore even after learning every move...

I really wish I had traveled back in time to an era where someone would kowtow if I said a few words of gratitude to all the people in the world...

Otherwise, with my talk developed in the office, I wouldn’t be able to fool these fools to death who would just accept their master’s name casually.

But now I can only think about it with envy...

Heartbroken...

***************

Cao Cao is now measuring the route step by step himself.

The royal palaces of Luoyang City in the Eastern Han Dynasty were mainly composed of the North and South Palaces. There were multiple roads connecting the South Palace and the North Palace. The so-called complex road is three parallel roads, the middle one is the royal road dedicated to the emperor, and the two sides are the roads used by ministers and waiters.

The north gate of the South Palace and the south gate of the North Palace are opposite each other. As the saying goes, "the two palaces face each other from a distance, and the two towers are more than a hundred feet apart." The entire north and south palaces are like a "LV" shape with a slightly larger upper mouth.

It turns out that Liu Xiu regarded Nangong as the focus of his administration at the earliest, so there were many palaces in Nangong and the towers were complicated. But by the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, especially during the period of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, the emperor gradually became lazy and was unwilling to even walk around. He held court meetings directly in the Beigong. As time went by, the focus of the administrative center gradually shifted from the Nangong to the Nangong. Beigong.

It turned out that when Yuan Shu and him made plans together, they estimated that the deposed emperor Liu Bian would be placed in a palace in the Nangong, most likely in the Jiade Hall to the north of the Mingguang Hall in the Nangong.

Jiade Hall has a good name, but it became even less "virtuous" during the Ling Emperor period. After Emperor Ling succeeded to the throne, he posthumously recognized his late father as Emperor Xiaoren, respectfully addressed his mother Dong as Empress Xiaoren, and enshrined her in the Jiade Palace.

However, Empress Xiaoren endured the death of Empress Dowager Dou and finally achieved success. Her daughter-in-law became a mother-in-law and was promoted to Empress Dowager Dong. She began to dictate the government affairs. Later, with the strong support of Empress Dowager Dong, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty reached its peak state of selling officials and conferring titles. The official positions of the three princes were all sold...

Cui Lie's Situ was bought during that time...

In the sixth year of Zhongping, Emperor Ling died in Jiade Hall.

Some time ago, General He Jin was also inexplicably hacked to death in the square in front of Jiade Hall...

Therefore, the Jiade Hall was sealed up at this time and regarded as an ominous place.

Therefore, according to common sense, this kind of place is the most suitable place to place the deposed emperor.

However, according to the news from Cao Cao's palace, the deposed emperor Liu Bian was not in the Jiade Hall in the South Palace, but was hidden in Yong'an Palace, a small palace in the northeast corner of Luoyang City.

Cao Cao guessed that Li Ru might have considered that Nangong was too close to the Sangong's residence and was not safe. After all, the Sangong's residence was not far to the east of Nangong, especially since it was only a few walls away from the Taiwei, that is, Sima's residence... …

But this arrangement caused a lot of trouble for Cao Cao and Yuan Shu's plans.

If we originally planned to escape from Nangong, we only need to pass through two streets to reach the South Gate. Beyond the South Gate is Luoshui. We can take either land or water routes, which is very convenient. As long as we block the pursuers a little, we can easily escape. Escape...

Now that the deposed emperor lives in Yong'an Palace, there are only two ways to escape - one is to go directly from the upper east gate next to Yong'an Palace. This is the shortest and fastest way, but a little further north from the upper east gate is Mang Mountain. It is difficult to move, and it is easy to be followed and blocked by pursuers; secondly, pass through the residence where dignitaries gather, walk through the two lanes of Guangli and Yongheli, and go out through the east gate. Although the distance is long and easy to be intercepted, as long as you leave The city gate of the Middle East Gate is the horse market in Luoyang. The crowds are noisy, making it easy to hide your traces immediately...

Each of these two roads had its own advantages and disadvantages, and Cao Cao had no choice but to come to the scene in person to measure and calculate.

Cao Cao stood on the side of the street, wearing an ordinary robe and a dark blue linen cloak, making him inconspicuous among the crowd.

Cao Cao looked around carefully, making constant calculations in his mind. He was familiar with the areas of Buguangli and Yongheli. After all, he was also a frequent visitor here. Many officials lived in this area. Therefore, as long as these dignitaries were allowed to If they don't show up with the door closed at the critical moment, then the few guards and private soldiers they have are less likely to attack without permission. This will be more conducive to escape, and then as long as they leave the Middle East Gate, they can sneak into the horse. The market is like a fish entering a big river, it is not that easy to find again...

So the question now is how to make these dignitaries stay in the house at the critical moment...

As for whether to tell Yuan Shu that the deposed emperor was actually not in Nangong, Cao Cao didn't even think about it and decided not to tell Yuan Shu. After all, the last incident involving General He Jin was deceived by Yuan Shu. The account has not yet been settled. This time, Yuan Shu is asked to attack Nangong. Firstly, it can attract the attention of the defenders and reduce the pressure on Cao Cao. Secondly, it can also be used against Cao Cao. Let’s retaliate to the last He Jin incident.

It's rude to come and go without reciprocating...
