Chapter 318 Under the Imperial Palace, No Man's Palace?
With the passage of time, the situation in Luoyang City has slowly been effectively controlled, but the so-called belated justice is no longer justice, so even if so many people have been rescued from fire and water, Qin Feng and Cao Cao's faces did not have many smiles, but they were all iron-blue.
In front of the glittering palace gate, looking at the brightly lit existence like a fairyland, Qin Feng and Cao Cao both stood below in tacit agreement and did not speak or act superfluously, just silently waited here for their soldiers to come and report the situation.
"Lord!" After a long time, Zhang He and Xu Shu led some of the soldiers to the palace, saluted Cao Cao and Qin Feng and said, looking at the gloomy faces of Cao Cao and the two, they couldn't help but beat a little in their hearts, in fact, their hearts were also very bad.
"What are the casualties of our army?" Qin Feng asked a little gloomily, there was no joy on his face, as if he had changed someone.
"Back to the lord, our army has injured nearly 8,000 people, and the death toll is about 4,000, this is only an approximate data, and its precise casualties are still being counted!" Xu Shu said solemnly, although as long as it is a war, there will definitely be deaths, but it is the first time to see so many casualties like this time, even if this casualty is still a miracle in the eyes of outsiders.
"What about our army? Righteousness? Cao Cao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows after hearing Xu Shu's words, and then asked Zhang He on the side with some curiosity.
Zhang He couldn't help but feel a little ashamed after hearing Cao Cao's words, and his eyes began to dodge a little, but he could still feel Cao Cao's serious gaze, "Return... Back to the lord, the wounded of our army .... There are about 12,000 people, and the death toll is about 6,000...."Zhang He said with some shame.
After Zhang He reported the casualties of the Yanzhou army, the scene suddenly fell into embarrassment, Cao Cao's face was blue and white, and his lips trembled and he didn't know what he wanted to say.
"Is there anything unusual over there?" Just when Cao Cao couldn't speak, Qin Feng continued to ask Xu Shu as if he hadn't heard anything, his face was the same as Fang Cai's appearance, and it didn't look like he was cheating at all.
"There is no situation on General Zhao's side, although there is a small group of Xiliang troops who want to go out from other city gates, but they are also blocked back by General Zhao, and now General Zhao has gone to the camp outside the city to help Wen He transport those grain and grass materials to Luoyang, General Huang is leading the army to search for traitors in Luoyang City!" Xu Shu said intently.
It was expected that the casualties of the Yanzhou army would be much greater than the casualties of his own army, and if the casualties of the Yanzhou army were less than those of himself and others, it would be a matter worthy of attention.
"Zilong has a heart, and he ordered Huang Zhong to do a good job of searching the remnants of Xiliang in Luoyang City, and after catching it, he can ask if he has mercy!" Qin Feng nodded and said slowly.
"No!" After Xu Shu heard this, he bowed slightly and ran towards the street above Luoyang City, which made Cao Cao look full of envy, and a great talent like Xu Shu was used like a herald, and there was only that
Qin Feng is alone!
"Brother Meng De's merit of saving His Majesty, Feng will give it to you!" After Qin Feng watched Xu Shu disappear into the crowd, he turned his head to Cao Cao and said with a smile on his face.
"How does this work?" Cao Cao hurriedly waved his hand and said after hearing Qin Feng's words, his face was full of panic, now that this Xiliang army has been repelled by himself and others, such a great credit for saving His Majesty is placed in front of the two of them.
It can be said that Cao Cao and Qin Feng have become enemies from this moment on, an enemy that cannot be placed on the surface, and the battle situation between the two is in the conversation between you and me, setting up a trap for each other to probe each other's combat strength and army situation, such a battle situation is more dangerous than those killing battles in a sense.....
"Now my subordinates are all exterminating traitors in Luoyang City, and now Your Majesty is not in danger in the palace, and now only by relying on Brother Meng De can you save Your Majesty from fire and water!" Qin Feng said seriously, his face full of compliments, trying to encourage Cao Cao to be the first hero.
After all, Qin Feng knew that there was no Liu Xie in the palace at all, and now Liu Xie had been bewitched and controlled by a mass of monsters, and even taken away from the palace, and he couldn't find anyone when he swaggered in like this, and he didn't know how the people of the Han family came to tell about themselves.
That's why Qin Feng asked Cao Cao to form an alliance with him when he had the strength to single-handedly fight the Xiliang Army, and because he was willing to let Cao Cao take the lead in the face of this great achievement, there must be someone to be his 'witness'.....
"This...."Sure enough, under Qin Feng's narration and the attraction of that great achievement, Cao Cao couldn't help but hesitate a little, if it was frustrated here, he would definitely see the difference, but now frustrated professor is in the tiger prison.
"Brother Meng De, don't hesitate, now that the tiger prison is closed, there are only Gong and Brother and my unskilled guards and trapped camps, if there is any hostility, I am afraid they will be difficult to parry, and it will not be good for us to cut off the back road at that time!" Qin Feng said slowly.
Because Jia Xu's position is very delicate, he can't appear in front of everyone for the time being, so he asked Gao Shun to rush back to the Tiger Prison with his subordinates to exchange for Xu Shu, and it is also a brand that is loyal to the country, so as not to say that he wants to cross the river, dismantle the bridge, unload the mill and kill the donkey....
Cao Cao was shocked after hearing Qin Feng's words, yes! Now that the tiger prison is closed, it can be said that it is all his own people, how dare Qin Feng move those little abacus? Everything is still due to too much doubt in myself.
"Junyi, follow me into the palace to defend the emperor!" Cao Cao shook the red cloak behind him and said with a proud face.
"No!" After Zhang He finished speaking, he waved his hand, and suddenly the Yanzhou army behind him surged towards the palace like a tide, and the strange thing is that the originally imagined resistance did not appear at all, and the Yanzhou army rushed into the palace very smoothly, occupying every main road in the palace as quickly as possible.
Cao Cao stood in the empty hall and frowned slightly, he had already discovered that this palace was not as 'prosperous' as it was a few years ago, except for some palace maids and eunuchs
There was not a single concubine in the palace, and even Liu Xie's figure was not found.
And those treasures that used to be worth a lot of money have long been gone, those wooden shelves are full of thick dust, it seems that they have been idle for a long time, and the entire palace can now be described as an empty shell, no wonder there is no Xiliang soldiers rushing towards the palace, presumably they also know all kinds of changes.....
"The lord has not found any trace of His Majesty, even those concubines are nowhere to be found, and there is no one in the palace except for hundreds of palace maids and eunuchs!" After a long time, Zhang He ran to the main hall, knelt on the ground, and said to Cao Cao.
"Don't even have a concubine? How did Dong Zhuo send all these people out of Luoyang quietly under the noses of our army? Cao Cao muttered to himself, his eyes full of incredulity.
"General Zhang, have those tunnels in the palace been explored?" Just when Cao Cao was puzzled, Qin Feng asked Zhang He with some curiosity, and his face was full of solemnity.
Qin Feng knew that Liu Xie was not in the palace, but it didn't mean that he knew why there was no concubine here, could it be that Dong Zhuo was not actually dead? The Dong Zhuo I have seen for so many days is actually just a fake body, and the real Dong Zhuo has already taken all of Liu Xie's concubines to Xiliang at this time?
But why did Jia Xu never report this anomaly? Could it be that Jia Xu has actually always been Dong Zhuo's person? Did you come to work for yourself just to be a spy?
One question after another kept popping up in Qin Feng's mind, although he knew the names and characteristics of all the great generals in the Three Kingdoms period, it didn't mean that Qin Feng could really see through a person's heart.
As a human master, although he knows that some things cannot happen, he must also be suspicious or vigilant, otherwise he may be greeted by the rebellion of his subordinates....
"I have sent someone to explore all the underground passages that can be found in the palace, and there is nothing else except a thick musty smell and smoke!" Zhang He shook his head slightly and said.
"Brother Meng De seems to have found something in the palace that we don't know, and now we have to take a good look at the palace, even if it's digging three feet into the ground!" Qin Feng said gloomily, "Since there is no corresponding living person here, there must be a corresponding dead body, it is impossible for Dong Zhuo to transport all of these concubines to Xiliang, even if Dong Zhuo is willing, those ministers will not be willing!" ”
Cao Cao frowned and nodded slowly, although he didn't clearly express his meaning, but he could also see that Cao Cao's mind was also towards Qin Feng's side, since there were no living people, there would definitely be dead bodies, and it was impossible for so many people in the palace to completely disappear out of thin air without leaving a trace....
After Zhang He saw Cao Cao nodding, he bowed and walked quickly towards the outside of the main hall, and disappeared after a while.
Qin Feng looked at the empty hall and sighed helplessly, maybe the real troubled times were coming.......
