Chapter 57 High Praise [Seeking Follow-up Reading]

The sun is setting and the sky is filled with warm colors.

Before Diao Chan came, Cao Cao closed his eyes and circulated his qi in his study, pushing the energy in his body to circulate throughout his body and nourish his body.

As his reputation grew and the level of Caoying increased, Cao Cao felt an indescribable aura, which was particularly obvious when he was practicing.

That was the popularity and luck he brought with him as the head of Cao's camp, with his subordinates, counselors, and good generals in place.

This energy is in harmony with the heaven and earth and it is difficult to describe in words, but with every breath he takes, every wisp of energy from the heaven and earth drawn from his fontanelle flows throughout his body, making him feel relaxed and comfortable.

His sea of ​​consciousness, dantian, and the power cores of both the civil and martial meridians were all shining brightly.

The whole body is full of qi and blood, the body is strong, and other vital signs are also increasing imperceptibly.

When Cao Cao was practicing, his hearing became extremely sharp.

He heard Diao Chan coming out of the courtyard where she was staying clearly, and he immediately breathed in and out.

Outside the door, Diao Chan poked her head in and spoke softly.

She wore a pale yellow Han-style skirt with a narrow waist and a collar. She walked into the study room very lightly and asked, "Will my coming disturb the general?"

She had been living under the care of others since she was a child, in Wang Yun's house. She had always been well-mannered, careful with her words and deeds, and always considered other people's feelings first. She was afraid of disturbing Cao Cao, so she weighed the pros and cons in her mind for half a cup of tea before coming over. She really couldn't help but have something to ask.

"I'm not as busy as you think."

Cao Cao patted Yin, who was sleeping lazily beside him and said: "If you feel bored, bring Yin to your yard and let it accompany you."

Diao Chan came over, knelt on the side of the low mat, and reached out to touch Yin's tiger head.

The little guy bared his teeth and made a warning sound, showing some reluctance.

But Diao Chan stretched out her hand and gave him face by not dodging.

"I'm here to ask General Shang, is there any news about my foster father today?"

Diao Chan raised her face, her eyes bright, "When my foster father left yesterday, he said the city was in danger, and there was no news all day today. I sent someone to ask at home, and my foster father has not returned home since last night."

Cao Cao took out a piece of paper from the side and handed it to Diao Chan: "Take a look at this."

Diao Chan reached out and took it.

Written on the slips were the names of Zhou Bi (son of Zhou Shen, Dong Zhuo's former colleague in suppressing the rebellion in Liang Province), Shizhong Wu Qiong, He Yong, Han Rong, Chen Ji, the chief secretary of the general He Jin's office, the great scholar Cai Yong, and Wang Yun.

This was Dong Zhuo's draft of the Empress Dowager's decree, which he sent to the Secretariat, in preparation for announcing a list of names of people in the court.

Dong Zhuo proposed to make use of these people.

Cao Cao analyzed that, as expected, Dong Zhuo had already sent someone to contact Wang Yun by then.

All parties are pushing forward their own arrangements at full speed.

In history, after Dong Zhuo came to Luoyang, he acted vigorously and decisively. In just three or four days, he colluded with Lu Bu, killed Ding Yuan, and annexed the Bingzhou army.

He also led by his younger brother Dong Min, united with He Jin's former subordinates, killed his brother He Miao, and took the opportunity to bring He Jin's former subordinates under his command.

He grew stronger and stronger over the course of a few days and took control of almost all the military power in Luoyang.

The process is dangerous, but the effect is amazing.

Now his plan was disrupted by Cao Cao, and some things were changed. However, under internal and external pressure, Dong Zhuo's deployment was accelerated.

These few days will be the time when Dong Zhuo enters Luoyang and his methods will be the most violent. He will push forward his plan at a speed no one can imagine.

At this time, Diao Chan was surprised that Cao Cao's judgment came true so quickly.

He had said before that Dong Zhuo might use Wang Yun.

Before the conversation in the study was over, a personal soldier came to the door to announce that it was Wang Yun who came to visit.

Then, Xun Yu returned to Luoyang and met Cao Cao first.

The attendant went out and led the two men into the mansion, and Jia Xu, who was next door, was called over first.

He was close to the study, so he went in and greeted Cao Cao. When he saw Diao Chan, he was stunned for a moment, then he looked away and didn't look at her any more, and sat down behind Cao Cao.

Cao Cao laughed secretly in his heart. Jia Xu's caution was everywhere. He would not look at anything inappropriate.

He was probably one of the people least affected by Diao Chan's appearance. After a while, Wang Yun came in from outside with his personal army, and Cao Cao stood up to greet him.

"I have good news for Meng De."

When two people meet, they greet each other politely.

Wang Yun smiled and said, "There is one more thing. You are right. Dong Zhuo couldn't wait to propose reinstating some people, and I am one of them."

"Come in and talk." Cao Cao said.

At this time, Xun Yu also came nearby, and the group returned to the study.

Jia Xu sat behind Cao Cao, saying nothing, like a clerk in charge of writing.

He came to listen in order to familiarize himself with the current situation among all parties and was not prepared to speak.

"Father."

Wang Yun, wearing a wide-sleeved reddish-brown Hanfu, was pulled by Diao Chan to sit on the side of the main seat.

Xun Yu had been out and about for a few days, and his temperament became more calm, and there seemed to be more determination in his eyes.

"Go up to the army."

As a member of the family, Xun Yu sat in the first seat below Cao Cao.

He gave Cao Cao a look, meaning to ask whether the people in the room could be trusted, and that he had something to say.

Wang Yun was the only outsider present, but Xun Yu did not need to avoid speaking to him, so Cao Cao indicated that he could speak directly.

Xun Yu coughed lightly, drank a sip of tea, and said:

"General Huangfu's vanguard, 8,000 elite soldiers, will reach Luoyang the next morning. General Huangfu wants to know the opinions of the upper army. His troops are stationed west of Luoyang, and together with the Xiyuan Army and Ding Yuan's troops, they will form a horn to contain Dong Zhuo.

It is better to come to the outside of the East City and join your troops."

Wang Yun was stunned. Huangfu Song's troops were coming.

He had just met Yuan Wei not long ago. He just saw Cao Cao and said there was good news. He wanted to tell Cao Cao that reinforcements were coming.

But the news he received was that Huangfu Song's troops would not arrive for at least two days.

However, from what Xun Yu said, the news they received was probably released deliberately to confuse the enemy, and Cao Cao and Huangfu Song had already contacted them. Earlier than him, Yuan Wei and others, and the news was more accurate?

Wang Yun pricked up his ears and listened.

"What else did General Huangfu say?" Cao Cao pondered.

Xun Yu smiled and said, "General Huangfu praised you a lot, saying that in several communications, your predictions about Dong Zhuo's reinforcements were the same as his. What's rare is that you are still so young and have little military experience, but you are really talented in the use of troops.

He also said that he was very lucky to have you in Luoyang, who was able to stop Dong Zhuo in time. If not, the situation in Luoyang would be disastrous. "

Huangfu Song and Cao Cao had exchanged secret letters and communicated several times.

In addition, in order to persuade Huangfu Song to send troops, Xun Yu told Huangfu Song about Cao Cao's plan to stop Dong Zhuo, protect the city gates, and ensure the defense of the palace.

Therefore, Huangfu Song's appreciation for Cao Cao was sincere and without any courtesy.

Wang Yun was a little confused listening on the side.

You should know that Huangfu Song was not only a famous general of the time, but also a man loyal to the court. He had made many military achievements and had no guests under his command.

He was of upright character, did not participate in party imprisonment, and also advised on pardons and helped the people on many occasions.

Speaking of the present time, Huangfu Song made significant contributions to the stability and development of the entire world, so everyone, including Wang Yun, highly respected him.

During Dong Zhuo's rebellion, many people regarded Huangfu Song as a pillar of support.

Even Diao Chan, influenced by Wang Yun, was full of respect for Huangfu Song.

Wang Yun was surprised to hear Huangfu Song's high praise for Cao Cao. He then realized that Cao Cao and Huangfu Song were faster than anyone else and had been communicating with each other for some time.

After Xun Yu finished speaking, Wang Yun asked anxiously, "What else did General Huangfu say? When did Meng De and General Huangfu get in touch?"
