Sun Ce and Guan Hai have a place to settle down, Gao Yi also feels that he can leave with confidence, after all, Sun Ce should be allowed to experience his own experience, and Gao Yi also intends to concentrate on stable development in the Central Plains, Chang'an has already achieved initial results, with the efforts of Xu Shu Zhao Yun and others, Liu Xie is out of the control of Li Wei and Guo Yan, and is going to Luoyang in accordance with the time ahead of history, and then as long as Gao Yi leads troops from Nanyang to Qin Wang, the Son of Heaven is not a minister, and then gradually completes the original idea of Liu Xie's return to the emperor in Liu Wei, at least the situation of the princes will not become more and more intense。 Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, on the way to Yanzhou, Gao Yi received a secret letter from Xu Shu, the content of which was unbelievable to Gao Yi, that is, Liu Xie disappeared in the process of fleeing Chang'an!

Gao Yi, who learned the news, didn't dare to waste any more time in Yangzhou, he knew that someone must have secretly done something, and he had to go to Chang'an in person to see what was going on.

However, Cao Cao still has to see him, but he can only see it and leave.

Cao Cao's actions were very fast, after defeating the remnants of Zhang Miao's forces, he was secretly carrying out a purge in Yanzhou, including various wealthy families, most of these people were not optimistic that Cao Cao could defeat Lu Bu when Yanzhou was in turmoil, so they still responded to Cao Cao nominally, but in fact, most of them secretly had close contact with Lu Bu, even many people in Cao Cao's own army.

When Gao Yi arrived in Chenliu, he caught up with Cao Cao's iron-blooded action against these wall-head grasses.

"Lord Qi, and the state pastor Gao Yi is here!"

Outside the Chen Liu's chamber, soldiers came to report to Cao Cao, who was looking through the book.

Cao Cao didn't raise his head: "No time!" After speaking, Cao Cao continued to look, and suddenly woke up, "Wait a minute, let him come in!"

Outside the gate, Gao Yi smiled and saw Cao Cao walking out with a group of people to greet him, and couldn't help but greet him one by one: "I'm really sorry, I'm Gao someone uninvited again!"

"Hehe, you just have nothing to do, as the imperial court and the state pastor, the feudal official, not to stay in his own jurisdiction, but every day around the country, Jingzhou will be Yangzhou and come to my Yanzhou again, I said, can you still do it well? If you don't want to do it, let my people do it, it just so happens that a large number of my generals with great military achievements are worried that there is nothing to reward them!"

Cao Cao walked up to Gao Yi with a smile and looked at Gao Yi carefully, his eyes were full of concern!

Gao Yi put away his smile: "Senior brother, you know, my father was just gone last year, and I was going to guard the tomb for three years, but the imperial court didn't appoint me as this and state pastor, isn't it difficult for a strong man?" Naturally, I won't do it, hmph, I'd rather run around in the south and north of the world, and I don't plan to go to the state, the right to be named, and I will go again after three years, I can't let the people of the world say that I Gao Yi is crazy and unfilial when I am an official, anyway, there are tens of thousands of garrisons in the state, and there are a lot of internal affairs talents, don't worry about any big mess, the national thief Dong Zhuo is already dead, I should also be idle and idle, right!"

"You, let me tell you what's good!" Cao Cao looked like he wanted to eat Gao Yi, but because so many subordinates behind him were watching, he was just putting on a show in the end.

At this time, Man Chong came to Cao Cao and said, "Lord Qiqi, those Chen Liuhao clans who fled in a panic and waited for an opportunity to make trouble just now have all been controlled by us, may I ask what the Lord should do next?"

Cao Cao changed his color: "Kill!"

Gao Yi was a little puzzled when he heard this: "Wait, senior brother, what's going on?"

Cao Cao said: "You just came, so I don't know the truth, recently I am conducting a strict investigation of those wealthy families who used to be attached to Zhang Miao and Lu Bu, they panicked, and organized an assassination operation against me, but they had traitors among them, and told me all the plans of action, in order to let them show themselves, we had to strike first, and came up with a plan! Let others pretend to be assassins to assassinate me, and the rest of the matter is very simple." ”

Gao Yi is such a smart person, although Cao Cao said ambiguously, he has already sorted out the ins and outs of the matter, so he said to Cao Cao: "So all this is arranged by senior brother, probably the last time I assassinated you, it was also a smooth sailing?"

Cao Cao nodded: "Exactly, in order to make the assassination more realistic, I didn't tell you the truth, hehehe!"

"It's really okay, you-" Gao Yi's words stopped when he wanted to speak, and only said after a long time, "Who else doesn't know about this?"

"Except for you, everyone already knows!" Guo Jia walked over and said with a hippie smile at Gao Yi, winking at Gao Yi, "Fortunately, that Gao Fujun's assassination was fake, otherwise the lord would definitely think that you and those wealthy clans conspired to kill the lord!"

Guo Jia's words seemed to be said casually, and he seemed to have instructions, but Cao Cao and Gao Yi were both shocked, and it took a long time for Cao Cao to spit out: "Fengxiao, what are you talking about? How can I not trust Mingyang?"

Gao Yi also followed: "That's it, Guo Jia, what kind of heart do you have, you are here to provoke our relationship!"

"Really?" Guo Jia deliberately lengthened his voice, his eyes wandering back and forth between Cao Cao and Gao Yi.

In Cao Cao's view, he knew that Gao Yi was no longer his former junior brother, but he couldn't let go of the fetters in his heart, and he really didn't trust and doubt a little, originally he thought that Gao Yi would never come back when he went to Yangzhou, but he didn't expect Gao Yi to not only come back, but also continue to make suggestions for his hegemony.

He doesn't know whether to believe or not to believe this Gao Yi now, especially after Zhang Miao's incident, he feels that no one in this world can believe it casually except himself, although he still laughs confidently as always, but now when he gives advice to others, including Gao Yi, including Xun Yu Chengyu, the first thing he thinks about is not what is good for him, but what is the harm of it.

He often tosses and turns at night and can't sleep, so he has to read military books to pass the time, and even when he falls asleep, he has to sleep with a sword in his hand, is he about to go crazy?

And for Guo Jia, he also thinks it is a mysterious place, although he has been a staff member for a long time, he doesn't know this person at all, this Guo Jia is too mysterious, mysterious to the point of terrifying, he is full of tricks, but he spends all day drinking and disregarding his body, resulting in everyone opposing him every time he wants to be promoted, will he also be a meticulous work?

Gao Yi's current thought is, what does Cao Cao see as a person, a confidant or something else? If it is a confidant, although it seems to explain a lot of things, but this is nothing, there are many, many confidants who have a good relationship with Cao Cao, even in the enemy camp, Lu Bujun's Chen Gong is the best example, as well as Jia Xu under Li Dao Guo Yan, Zhang Yang Mouchen Dong Zhao, etc., etc., Chen Gong and Zhang Miao rebelled against Cao Cao, so in Cao Cao's eyes, will there be such a worry, that is, one day in the future, Gao Yi will also unite with others to rebel against Cao Cao?

But Guo Jia's current thoughts are the simplest: "My lord, I'm hungry, do you have any delicacies from the mountains and seas, wine and delicacies?"

Cao Cao pouted: "There are no delicacies from the mountains and seas, wine and delicacies, but coarse tea and light rice are everywhere!"

"Oh, my lord, you really know me so well, I like to eat light rice and drink coarse tea, and I was born a beggar!" Guo Jiamei smiled.

"If you want to eat, you can, we have to execute those thieves first, otherwise I won't be able to eat anything!" Cao Cao said with a straight face, and then said to Man Chong, "Where are those people imprisoned, take me to see!"

In Chen Liu's prison, almost all of the Chen Liuhao clan were imprisoned in this smelly and wet place, and they were crying and scolding one by one, shouting that they were wronged, and shouting that the government was arresting people indiscriminately.

"Is there a heavenly principle, and is there a royal law, I want to go out, let me out!"

"Dog official, I want to see Cao Gong, you are favoritism, you have wronged good people, you ......"

"Don't bother scolding!" Cao Cao and Gao Yi Guo Jia came to the dungeon, and when they saw these people shouting like crazy, they frowned and said, "I was the one who ordered the arrest!"

"Ah Cao Gong, we have been wronged, we resolutely support Cao Gong's rule, we are not a chaotic party, we are not a thief, and I hope that Cao Gong will see everything!" A middle-aged man in a fancy costume saw Cao Cao coming in person, and immediately knelt down against the prison door, and the others also knelt on the ground.

"Hmph, dare to be a big man!" Cao Cao snorted coldly, "If I don't have sufficient evidence in my hand, I won't arrest people indiscriminately!"

The middle-aged man was unconvinced: "Dare to ask Cao Gong what evidence he has? Can you show it to us, we are using a code, and there is no evidence left at all!"

Cao Cao said coldly: "The evidence is what you just said, do you still use me to say anything?"

Everyone else rushed to this fool in anger, eager to pull his skin and skin his tendons: "You fool!"

"This kind of mind dares to plot to assassinate me!" Cao Cao sneered and left the dungeon.

Gao Yi caught up with Cao Cao and said: "Zhang Miao has been pacified, what else will happen to these people? Senior brother has to bring these people out, and he wants to put them to death!"

Cao Cao listened to Gao Yi's words, stopped his body and said, "Mingyang, what do you mean by this?"

Gao Yi said: "Chen Liu is the seat of Yanzhou, it is a big county in the Central Plains, we want to run here, we must rely on the influence of those wealthy families in the early stage, if the senior brother rashly kills them, how much will it leave for the future governance, has the senior brother thought about it?"

When Cao Cao heard the "we" in Gao Yi's mouth, his heart suddenly moved, was Gao Yi tempting, or was he really putting himself in his shoes and always regarded him as a family?

However, these thoughts only flashed in his mind, his face was still cloudy, and he said slowly: "Did I say I was going to kill them?"

Gao Yi: "......"

Guo Jia said with a smile: "Gao Fujun is too worried, he really doesn't have the shrewdness of the lord, can't the lord that Gao Fujun can think of? If you really want to kill these people, why spend so much trouble?"

Gao Yi was surprised: "What do you mean?"

Cao Cao was very satisfied with Guo Jia's words, and then explained: "I don't want superficial loyalty, I will naturally let them understand who is stronger between me and Zhang Miao? Even if he is really strong, but he is dead, I Cao Cao is the lord of this Chen Liu, the lord of Yanzhou, they want to leave, I don't force me to stay, they want to stay, they must obediently obey my governance, don't make trouble for me!"

Speaking of this, Cao Cao suddenly shouted to the jailers: "Open the prison door!"

The cell door was opened, and the inmates in the cell looked at the open door in disbelief: "Is the execution going to begin?"

Cao Cao's deep voice came: "Now you can go!"

"Let's go?" everyone was shocked, "Cao Cao, what do you mean?"

Cao Cao walked out of the prison and said loudly: "After you go back, you have half a month to consider moving your family elsewhere, or continue to stay in Chenliu, I am good friends with Meng Zhuo, I don't want him to see me kill the people of Li under his rule under Jiuquan, of course, he definitely doesn't want these of his people to assassinate his former friends, right?"

The middle-aged man who had already been scratched in many places by his own people said hoarsely: "Aren't you afraid that we will assassinate you again?"

"Hahaha, I'm afraid I'll let you go?" Cao Cao paused and said, "I just wish you good luck next time!"

Gao Yi smiled bitterly: Cao Cao can't see through himself, and he can't see through Cao Cao, he is really like a gust of wind, coming and going without a trace, you will never catch what he is thinking, what he wants to do, and what he is doing for what.

And what is it?
