Chapter 1239: Occupy the Prime Minister's Mansion
At this time, Xu Du only had a few thousand old and weak soldiers, how could he resist the 20,000 army of Youzhou, and there were even elites like winged cavalry.
The generals who can conquer and fight are all transferred to Guandu, and the few remaining leader-level generals here are nothing more than some little-known partial generals, tooth generals, and the like.
Some of Cao's generals also tried to gather troops and try to hold the main road.
But the White Phoenix team has long been very familiar with this kind of city-breaking battle. Seeing where there was a trend of grouping, Li Shuyi stepped forward directly and cooperated with Qiao Rui and Han Xu to carry out targeted killings.
As soon as the general died, the enemy troops who had just gathered immediately dispersed.
The Youzhou Army is almost in a no-man's land, and the speed of advancement is much faster than Jiao Touch and Zhang Nan's second generals imagined!
Da-da-da-da.
Youzhou winged and rode on the long street, and Cecilia changed back to her mount Bai Yujing, leading the elite cavalry to the key place of Xudu: the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The four gates of Xudu were sealed, resulting in the dignitaries and nobles in the city unable to escape if they wanted to.
It is worth mentioning that the Prime Minister's Mansion also has a good military general - Cao Zhang, who is Cao Cao's third son (extant) and a level 7 leader.
Cao Zhang has been kept in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and it has not yet been his turn to shine, so his rank is very low, and he is just an ordinary leader on the template.
Based on Xiahou Yuan's strength, Cao Zhang's strength is full, how can he get a rare leader level. But now, it's just a mantis arm as a car, and it doesn't have the ability to resist the hussars.
Cecilia waved her army, killed the guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and captured Cao Zhang, leaving two hundred horsemen to wait for Bai Xiaowen's arrival, and she herself led the remaining winged cavalry straight to the palace.
According to Bai Xiaowen, the Prime Minister's Mansion is the actual command center, and occupying it is equivalent to seizing Xudu, and the Son of Heaven is a symbol of orthodoxy, and getting the Son of Heaven is equivalent to having the righteousness of the world!
Not long after, Bai Xiaowen rode the angry claw and came to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Xun Yu and other strategists, scribes, and Cao Cao's relatives have all been controlled.
Bai Xiaowen glanced at it, and his last gaze fell on Cao Cao's sons.
Cao Chang was bound by iron chains, needless to say, Cao Pi looked a little timid and cowering, while Cao Zhi was strong and calm, but there was still a hint of fear in his eyes.
Of Cao Cao's five existing sons, three were captured.
"I heard that Cao Thief has five sons, Pi, Zhi, Zhang, Xiong, and Chong. Why are there only three here?" Bai Xiaowen walked in front of the trembling servants of the Prime Minister's Mansion and asked.
A group of servants trembled and did not dare to speak.
Suddenly, there was a fireworks in the northwest corner of the city, and the fire was so fierce that even half of the sky was dyed red.
Bai Xiaowen frowned, after he broke the city, he did not order arson. Where did this fire come from?
Could it be the Divine Court Awakener? Bai Xiaowen shook his head, this is unreasonable, if the Divine Court Awakened Person wants to be tough with himself, he will not let his family enter the city so easily.
Xun Yu sighed and said: "At the foot of the Son of Heaven, the city was actually broken by thieves, set fire and looted, and my sin is also." ”
"Hey, are you Xun Lingjun?"
Bai Xiaowen said, "I have already broken the city, so why is there any need to set it on fire? Your Excellency does not need to frame me in vain, comparing this son with ordinary bandits and horse thieves. ”
Although Xun Yu was pointed at by the sword, he was not flustered: "Who are you?"
"Xun Lingjun can't you guess?"
Bai Xiaowen smiled and said, "I'm Yuan Xi, the assassin of Youzhou." ”
"Since you are a courtier of the Han Dynasty, why did you storm Xu Du and disturb the Son of Heaven?" Xun Yu asked.
Bai Xiaowen pouted secretly, Xun Yu asked knowingly. Our two families are fighting, I'm going to copy Cao Cao's hometown, what's the problem?
But Bai Xiaowen can't answer like this, otherwise he will fall behind, and use the local to confront the "central government", Xun Yu will soon put on a rebellious hat, although it doesn't matter to the situation, but being taken advantage of by others will be very unhappy in this era.
Fortunately, Bai Xiaowen has a killer feature: "Cao thief hijacked the Son of Heaven, and the government came out of his own way, under the pretense of being a Han minister, but he was actually a thief." I begged the thief with the Son of Heaven's bloody edict and welcomed the Son of Heaven to his throne! Your ancestors were all Han ministers, and you yourself have received the Great Han Dynasty, so why don't you want to serve the Son of Heaven and help the Cao thief instead?"
The edict is indeed a killer weapon, and Xun Yu has nothing to say about it, so he can only say: "The prime minister is not disloyal to the Han family, but the situation in the world is chaotic, and it must be suppressed by someone as eloquent and strategic as the prime minister." When the four seas are peaceful, the prime minister will return to the Son of Heaven. ”
After a pause, Xun Yu said again: "If there is no prime minister in the world, then I don't know how many people are called emperors and how many people are called kings!
One sentence made Bai Xiaowen almost breathe.
Bai Xiaowen could only secretly scold Yuan Shu for being a pig, and instead of answering this sentence, he grabbed Xun Yu's words:
"Do you really think that Cao Cao is willing to return to the Son of Heaven? This is just self-deception! When Cao thief Xu Tian was besieged, he usurped the emperor's dignity and was congratulated by hundreds of officials, and the heart of the wolf was clearly revealed. You don't know about this, do you?"
In the romance, Xu Tian besieged (hunted in Xu Tian), which was a temptation of Cao Cao.
At that time, Cheng Yu, a strategist under Cao Cao, persuaded Cao Cao to "do the king's thing", and Cao Cao designed this hunt, using the emperor's golden pī arrow to shoot a deer.
When the ministers saw the golden arrow, they thought it was shot by the emperor, and they all shouted "Long live". However, Cao Cao went straight out and rushed to accept the congratulations of hundreds of officials in front of the Son of Heaven. The emperor was furious and plotted to beg Cao with the edict, but unfortunately failed, not only the loyal ministers who signed the edict were almost dead, but even the pregnant concubine could not be saved.
This incident also made Cao Cao realize that the Han Dynasty was not exhausted, and the great enemy Yuan Shao failed to be eliminated, so he put the "matter of the king" on hold.
Xun Yu bowed his head and was silent.
In fact, Xun Yu also knew in his heart that Cao Cao was not a pure minister. However, as a scribe, what could he do? He could only deceive himself and hope that Cao Cao would be satisfied with the position of prime minister.
Bai Xiaowen said again: "I am here today to welcome the Son of Heaven and get out of Cao Cao's mouth." Is Xun Lingjun with the Son of Heaven or with Cao Thief?"
This is a bit heart-wrenching.
Xun Yu said: "If the Son of Heaven leaves Xudu, in the hands of the rest of the princes, the situation will definitely be even worse. Staying in Xudu, with me and the ministers, you can dissuade Duke Cao and be loyal to the Han family. ”
Xun Yu is also telling the truth, since the Han family was displaced, the emperor has gone through the toss of Dong Zhuo and the Xiliang Rebellion, no matter who is in his hands, he has not had a good time.
Under Cao Cao's hands, although he was controlled by others, he was able to eat and clothe himself, and there was still a superficial pomp of the Son of Heaven.
In the hands of other princes, I am afraid that even their lives may not be saved.
In a word, Xun Yu didn't believe Yuan Shao.
Suddenly, a Youzhou soldier pushed and shoved a group of bound people and came to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Childe, the arsonist has been caught!"
