Chapter 172: The Gambler

Of course, Xiahoudun knew what Cao Cao meant......

Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, whose surname is Xiahou, was passed on to the eunuch Cao Teng, so Xiahou's family is Cao Cao's family!

Xiahoudun understood that Cao Cao was telling him the truth! If Liu Xie really burped, then their group would become the public enemy of the world!

There will be a situation that will be conquered by the whole world!

Xun Yu looked at the rear, he covered this matter, and advised His Majesty, saying that this is a natural disaster, not a man-made disaster!

I want Your Majesty to continue to cultivate one's self-cultivation and pray for the victory of the soldiers ahead......

His Majesty actually insisted this time that it was against the will of heaven to crusade against Wang Zhirong, so he ordered us to withdraw our troops......" Cao Cao's eyes were full of anger! At the same time, I felt a deep sense of helplessness.

Obviously, the banner of the king's prosperity and restoration of the Han dynasty played a big role, and even Liu Xie, who lived in the palace, heard it......

Of course, this does not rule out that Liu Bei, as Uncle Liu Huang, is under the banner of Wang Zhirong, which has an impact on the emperor's judgment!

It turned out that the Xudu Palace, the Dawn Hall had just begun the early dynasty, and suddenly there was a loud bang on the top of the hall, and it felt that the whole hall was shaking, and the tiles on the top were removed, and the wood part was also torn open a big hole, only whirring and burning.

There were many wood and stones on the top of the hall, which fell down one after another, and even smashed some courtiers.

The occurrence of such a thing as a thunderbolt hitting the palace is simply a major event that has not been encountered in a thousand years, and it has not been recorded since ancient times.

So the courtiers are very panicked, since the invention of the theory of celestial induction, even if a few locusts come out of the ground and eat the crops, all the courtiers can think of is celestial induction, which is the emperor's immorality and the punishment from heaven.

And now the heavenly thunder has directly slashed to the top of the palace, of course, it is the most straightforward and the most illustrative heavenly punishment!

According to the requirements of those sour Confucians, at this time, the emperor should reflect on his sins, issue an edict for his own crimes, and give an explanation to the world.

Originally, those emperors who were brilliant and strategic should not have paid attention to this kind of thing. But generally speaking, it is about floods, droughts, locust plagues, plagues, and so on. And what is happening now is too unbelievable, everyone is saying that this is a heavenly punishment, even Liu Xie himself believes that this may be a heavenly punishment, after all, no one has ever heard of it, there will be such a big movement of things that people can create......

The emperor's news is very closed, and the major events of the military aircraft cannot reach his ears...... When the grain and grass of the army were burned before, there was a corresponding military report, which was directly reported to Xun Yu, saying that it was a big star from the sky at the beginning, and then there was a thunderstorm, and the entire grain and grass camp was burned with a fire; After that, there was an incident in which Sikong Cao Cao's camp tent exploded and thundered and was seriously injured......

Liu Xie knew about the latter matter, but he only knew that Cao Cao was injured, and he didn't know that Cao Cao was injured...... He even sent a group of imperial physicians over......

The thunder exploded such a thing, Xun Yu covered it tightly, many people didn't know about these things, until the main hall was blown up, this matter couldn't be covered!

Liu Xie and all his civil and military officials fell into an inexplicable panic.

So Liu Xie made a decree and ordered Cao Cao to withdraw his troops as soon as possible. Of course, whether this holy decree can reach Cao Cao's hands or not, whether he listens to it or not, is Cao Cao's business!

Xun Yu thought that it was right to do things according to the emperor's ideas now, so he sent this holy decree to Cao Cao, and Xiushu said his judgment, the four sides are in chaos, the official and the people's hearts are unstable, or withdraw the troops from the long-term consideration......

Before giving Cao Cao this secret decree, he had already issued an edict to the world.

After being so frightened, Liu Xie fell ill.

In fact, Wang Zhirong didn't want to scare Liu Xie in his heart...... After all, he is the emperor of the Great Han!

But if concocted in the same way, this thing can scare Sun Quan, and of course it can also scare those Cao thief lackeys in Xu Du!

This thunder, directly on the roof of the palace hall of Xudu, was sent by Wang Zhirong to do the land monkey, confirmed that the explosion really seriously injured Cao Cao, Wang Zhirong taught the land monkey how to make a large Kong Ming lantern, how to measure the wind speed, how to calculate the distance, how to calculate the time when the incense burns...... Turn a Scout into a flyball soldier who controls an unmanned flyball!

The land monkeys took a few people with them, each carrying a large bag of black. Yao, disguised as a beggar, transferred from Jingxiang to Jiangdong, transferred to Liaohua's base area, successfully smuggled in, and infiltrated Xudu.

It took them a while to familiarize themselves with the environment, find the best place, and then after careful calculations, they finally completed this special mission to deter the rear of the Cao thief......

As soon as this incident came out, the entire capital city fell into a panic, and for a time rumors spread among the people, and a nursery rhyme was widely circulated: "The sky is thundering, the river is turbulent; The Han family is immortal, and the king is ......"

In fact, this nursery rhyme was also instructed by Wang Zhirong, and the land monkeys spread it in the capital. Wang Zhirong is to create a mysterious atmosphere for the people of the entire north, so that the people here also think that Wang Zhirong was sent by God to save the Han Dynasty......

This nursery rhyme finally reached Liu Xie's ears, and Liu Xie was both excited and scared.

After all, if this thing is true, the Great Han will not be destroyed, and he will be worthy of his ancestors...... But now if Cao Cao jumps over the wall in a hurry and forcibly usurps the throne, his life will be gone!

Liu Xie's panic, excitement, helplessness, melancholy, and all kinds of complex emotions make him cry and laugh sometimes, and the whole person is almost a madman......

When the battle reached this point, Cao Cao received this secret decree.

"What do you think of Your Majesty's secret decree?" Cao Cao asked.

"Now that we have all fought to this point, and tens of thousands of soldiers have died, and now everyone has withdrawn, isn't it in vain to lose so many people? The most important thing is that once Wang Zhirong's breath passes, the world will be in his pocket! ”

"I think that no one can withdraw it!" Cao Cao said firmly, "As you said, Wang Zhirong is now exhausted, and his most powerful killing moves have been used in the battle array, but for some reason, his kind of thunder cannot be created in large quantities, so this time is the best time for us to eliminate Jingzhou!" Once the kind of thunder used by Wang Zhirong can be created in large quantities, he will be invincible in the world, and we will all have to wait to be destroyed by him!

Xun Yu is still a scholar in the end, even if the north is in chaos, we must win Wang Zhirong and clean up the old rivers and mountains from scratch! Otherwise, we won't even have the slightest chance! ”

"My lord, do we want to resist the decree on the surface?"

"There will be no disapproval of the king's order outside!" Of course, Cao Cao would not take the holy decree in his eyes!

"But there has to be a process for everything. Now that the army of more than 100,000 has penetrated deep into the south, we are not so fast to withdraw so many troops in one or two strokes? We have to communicate with each other, and we can only withdraw before we can gather our troops! So that's the buffer time we can use to fight for!"

"My lord, that's what you said. But are we really going to withdraw the troops that are now deep into the south? ”

"Of course not. What we have to do now is to hand over the fold to Your Majesty as soon as possible, and as long as Your Majesty agrees, we will still act according to the original arrangement!" So all that is done now is to order the ministries to go south...... Only a few old and weak people are left on standby, and this batch must be withdrawn first......"

So the two of them began to plan again.

At the same time, Wang Zhirong was also planning a retreat.
