Chapter 253: Xu Tian, King of Chu (4)
The people who walked out of the team were almost all gray-haired old men.
Zhang Yue is also impressively listed.
Cao Cao looked at these people, and a cold light flashed in his eyes without a trace.
He walked down slowly, and in front of these people, in the eyes of everyone.
Smiling, Cao Cao walked back and forth with his hands behind his back.
"You are the real loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty, from Chang'an to Xudu, you have never left you.
If there are a small number of people like you in the world, why worry that the big man will not rise again! ”
As he spoke, Cao Cao walked up to Zhang Yue and smiled even more.
"I remember you, your name is Zhang Yue! Thinking of the beginning, when Gu just received His Majesty to Xudu, you proudly said to Gu, you only recognize the emperor, not Gu!
Is that so? Even now, Lone remembers your arrogance! ”
As Cao Cao said one sentence at a time, Zhang Yue's expression became embarrassed.
Until Cao Cao said to the end, his face was almost frightened.
Cao Cao put his hand on Zhang Yue's shoulder, which was shaking like chaff, and exerted himself slightly.
The smile on his face was even brighter, which made Zhang Yue a little better.
"Don't be afraid, it's been so long, and I'm not looking for you to settle accounts.
Lone just wants to tell everyone that you are a loyal minister.
Lone also heard that Xu Tian was attacked by your righteous words when he was here, right? ”
The more Cao Cao was like this, the more uneasy Zhang Yue's heart became.
This is too weird, what the hell does the other party want to do?
"It's... It's nothing, it's what our courtiers should do! You're welcome! ”
Smiled a little awkwardly, Zhang Yue took two steps back and arched his hand to speak.
"Hahaha..."Cao Cao looked up to the sky and laughed.
There was silence all around, and no one, including Cao Pi and Sima Yi, spoke.
Cao Cao's loud laughter echoed in the hall.
However, after a few moments, the laughter gradually stopped.
What followed was Cao Cao's slowly gloomy expression.
"Since you are so righteous and awe-inspiring, you are so loyal to the Great Han.
So when Xu Tian took the emperor away, why didn't you follow? ”
"This..."Zhang Yue obviously didn't expect Cao Cao to ask such a question.
After seeing the other party's gloomy expression, the bad feeling in Zhang Yue's heart reached its peak.
In fact, not only him, but all the people in the hall at this moment are like this.
"Tell me! Why? ”
"I... We..."Zhang Yue forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart and spoke.
"That Xu Tian is a rebel and thief, how can we follow.
All of us here are going to follow King Wei, to..."
Zhang Yue's voice became smaller and smaller, until finally he didn't even dare to say it anymore.
Because, he saw that Cao Cao's face was becoming more and more difficult to look at.
The murderous intent that suddenly burst out from the other party's body made Zhang Yue's body chill.
"Rebels and thieves? You can say that again! The Lone King seems to remember, you also commented on me behind my back!
Didn't I keep saying that I am, named Han Xiang, but actually a Han thief?
How? Now you don't even want your most loyal emperor, but you want to serve me, a thief? ”
Cao Cao's face was almost on Zhang Yue's face.
"I..." Zhang Yue was dumbfounded, his face had been completely replaced by fear.
Cao Pi watched all this silently, his eyes flashing.
He somewhat understood why Cao Cao said that to himself.
"You people, you keep calling me a thief.
The idea is to try to get rid of me, and to defend the big man in the name of beauty.
In the end, it's for their own benefit.
Now, following the Emperor can no longer guarantee your interests.
Therefore, I was abandoned by you without hesitation.
Say to yourselves, 'How shall I reward such mercenary persons?' ”
Cao Cao's voice was like a cold wind, blowing over everyone in the hall.
For a while, except for Sima Yi and Cao Pi, everyone else knelt down with a pleading look on their faces.
It's a pity that the more they are like this, the heavier Cao Cao's killing will be against them.
"Someone!" Cao Cao shouted outside the main hall.
The many soldiers who had been preparing outside the hall for a long time swarmed forward and surrounded everyone.
"Pull these things out and cut them off!"
"King Wei! King Wei spares his life! ”
"We are not guilty, King Wei!"
……
Countless cries came and went, but to no avail.
As they were dragged out by the soldiers one by one, after a long time, only Cao Cao and the other three were left in the hall again.
"Zhongda, you go out first!"
Sima Yi bowed and slowly withdrew.
After looking at Sima Yi who had exited the main hall, Cao Cao turned his head to look at Cao Pi, who was already on the spot.
Looking at Cao Pi in such a state, Cao Cao could only shake his head helplessly.
This is not to blame him, you must know that the people who stood here just now are all real Dashi clans.
Even after Cao Cao became the king of Wei, he treated them very politely.
Even if it is superficial, this is enough to show the importance of the Shi clan.
But today, Cao Cao actually changed his normal state and went on a killing spree.
"Now, do you understand?" Cao Cao said quietly.
"Only real power in your hands is the most important thing."
Cao Pi was obviously stunned for a moment, and then respectfully clenched his fists and agreed.
With a light sigh, Cao Cao turned around and prepared to leave, he had already done all this, as for whether Cao Pi could understand it, it was up to him.
He was very tired, Rong Ma had been riding all his life, and Cao Cao just wanted to rest now.
Just as he was about to lift his feet and leave, Sima Yi, who had withdrawn before, came back.
Only this time, he was not alone, behind him, followed by a black-armored sergeant.
"King Qiqi Wei, your scout who left in Xiangyang has returned!"
"Hmm!" Cao Cao nodded lightly and walked towards the black-armored sergeant.
"What's the information? Go ahead! ”
"No!" The black-armored sergeant spoke respectfully. "General Cao is dead!"
As soon as these words came out, Sima Yi and Cao Pi raised their heads at the same time and looked at the sergeant.
However, Cao Cao was very calm, as if he had known it for a long time.
There was just a trace of sadness in his eyes, and it flashed.
"In addition, Xu Tian, Marquis of Xiangyang, was named the king of Chu by the emperor himself!
Moreover, before I returned, their army was moving frequently, and it seemed that there was something big about it! ”
The words that followed, Cao Cao had already ignored them by default.
His attention was on the word "King of Chu".
In his mind, of course, he knew why.
"Good, good!" Cao Cao laughed and walked towards the outside of the main hall.
"King Chu! It's good, it looks like the person I Cao Cao likes will not be wrong.
I knew he was going to grow up!
Well done! They have all become the king of Chu! Hahaha..."
Cao Cao's voice echoed around the main hall.
Through the sunlight outside the hall, Cao Cao's back was stretched very long, looking particularly gloomy.
Suddenly, under the wide eyes of Sima Yi and Cao Pi, Cao Cao's body tilted and fell...
