Chapter 40: The Scarlet Storm
"Yuan Rang, Miaocai, let's do it." The moment he spoke, he saw that Cao Cao had regained his usual vigor, where was there still half a point of resignation? Dong Cheng was shocked when he saw this, and he wanted to speak, but suddenly heard two screams, and the gate next to the statue of the Holy Ancestor leading directly to the mountain behind the Taimiao Temple had been knocked open. Who would have thought that there were already tigers hidden in the Taimiao?
"Dong Cheng is a traitor! Death! "Before the person arrives, the sound arrives first. I saw a gray-armored general striding out first, and a bloody arrow mark in the middle of his forehead looked like a strange eye, it was Cao Cao's confidant, the 'three-eyed general' Xiahoudun! The two spears in his hands and Xiahou Yuan behind him were like two dragons, killing the two soldiers guarding the door with lightning speed.
Xiahou Danguan worships the former general, how could Dong Cheng not know him? But seeing Dong Cheng's complexion change greatly, the horror in his heart was beyond words, and he gritted his teeth and said tremblingly: "Xiahoudun! ”
Hushi kept pouring out of the door behind Xiahoudun, and he saw the three-eyed general snort coldly, "Dong Cheng, are you already exhausted in your skills!" Then he said to Xiahou Yuan behind him: "Miaocai, you go to 'protect' the Son of Heaven." ”
When Xiahou Yuan heard this, he raised the gun in his hand, and then strode onto the high platform and supported Liu Xie's side, called 'protection', but it was actually surveillance and control. Liu Xie's face turned pale with fright, and the form in the hall instantly turned sharply.
At this time, I saw the shouts of killing below, but I didn't know how many tiger soldiers poured in, but seeing that Xiahou Dun was indomitable, and after forcing the Changshui battalion soldiers who were surrounded by the spear in his hand, he commanded his tiger soldiers to rush towards Dong Cheng, while Cao Cao led a group of courtiers to slowly retreat to the altar.
The Hushi Battalion and the Changshui Battalion fought in the Taimiao Hall, and the manpower of the two sides was equal, but what was the level of the Tiger Guards? How can the Changshui battalion be the opponent of this fierce army, and how can Xiahoudun be comparable to ordinary people, all the soldiers are afraid of its bravery, and dare not touch its edge, just blindly dodge, so, where Xiahoudun kills, where is a big chaos, the soldiers of the Changshui battalion have retreated, and the battle has become such a situation, and the result is so foolish can also see.
On the side of Dong Cheng, only the captain of Changshui is a military general, and his skills should not be underestimated, he wielded a halberd in his hand, led his soldiers to take the lead, rushed to the front, and met the attacking tiger soldiers.
Although Xiahoudun rushed to the front, but the situation next to the hall did not escape his eyes, seeing the kind of fierce and good fighting, Xiahou Dan's heart moved, the kind of Ji is the commander of the Changshui battalion, and he can be regarded as the only member of Dong Cheng's general, if he kills this person, the big thing can be decided!
I thought about it, but seeing Xiahoudun lifting his spear and heading towards the seed, the distance between the two was neither far nor close, and there were two soldiers fighting in the middle, and the swords and halberds intersected.
Xiahoudun killed and pushed, and finally approached the seed series, and when he came behind him, he saw that the blade in the hand of the seed series was dancing with a tiger and a tiger, and he was very happy to kill. Xiahoudun sneered and shouted, "Seed series, are you rampant enough? ”
Chong Ji was startled when he heard this, and hurriedly turned around, but saw Xia Houdun's spear suddenly arrive, and hurriedly and instinctively raised his halberd, only to hear a crisp sound of 'bang', and the guns and halberds intersected. Chongji only felt a numbness in his hands, but when he saw a person opposite, he looked heroic, with a tearing scar on his forehead, staring at himself tightly like three eyes, "Xiahoudun!" ”
Chong Ji felt a chill in his heart, and he was about to make a move, but he saw that Xiahou Xuan had already spread his left hand and pulled out the sword at his waist, and then a cold light flashed, and he saw that half of Chong Ji's head was slashed to the ground by the sharp blade, and his soft body fell, but the blood that spurted out dyed Xiahou Xuan's armor red.
Xiahoudun killed the seed series in two moves, many soldiers on both sides saw it clearly, Dong Cheng, Wang Zifu and others in the rear were also frightened, and in an instant, they saw that the soldiers of the Changshui battalion began to rub backwards one after another, and their fighting spirit was lost, how to fight this battle? The people in front of the Changshui camp retreated one after another, while those behind who did not know how to age rushed forward, retreating and advancing, and in an instant, the soldiers of the Changshui battalion were in chaos.
Xiahoudun looked around for a week, smiled coldly, then put his sword into the sheath, and said lightly: "Kill!" There is no thief left! All the rebellious ministers have been captured! After speaking, he stood in place and began to command the soldiers, he had no need to fight again, without the leadership of the species, the other party was just a group of rabble, and the general trend was gone.
After a while, the battle in the hall was over, Cao Cao coldly looked at Dong Cheng and the others who were captured and escorted to him, a slight sneer on the corner of his mouth, and then walked to Dong Cheng's side, gently pulled blood from his arms, looked at it lightly for a while, and sighed lightly: "Your Majesty, this is what you wrote?" ”
When Cao Cao spoke, he didn't look back, but just gave Liu Xie behind him a back, Liu Xie's heart twitched, and he swallowed softly and spitted: "This... I don't know about it. ”
When Cao Cao heard this, he turned his head and looked at Liu Xiedao: "Your Majesty, Dong Cheng took advantage of the traces of His Majesty's crown ceremony to plot against the monarch, what should I do?" Liu Xie trembled when he heard this, and then trembled: "Dangdang"
But among the ministers, Wang Lang shouted: "Dong Cheng is rebellious!" It is time to destroy the three tribes! As soon as the words fell, he saw the Manchu Dynasty Minister Gu said: "Yes, Dong Cheng should be exterminated!" "Dong Cheng is guilty of a big crime, he should be killed!" "Your Majesty, please give an order!"
Liu Xie's face turned pale when he heard the declaration of the palace, Cao Cao Nunu's mouth, raised his hand at Liu Xieyi and said: "Your Majesty, the words of a hundred schools, you must not listen to them, please give an order." ”
"Your Majesty!" Suddenly, Dong Cheng, who saw that there was still blood on his face, suddenly bowed and cried: "Your Majesty, the ministers have the hope of their ancestors and the trust of the people, and it is not a pity to die. ”
Liu Xie's eyes closed, and then he said lightly: "Spread my word, Dong Cheng, Wang Zifu and others killed the monarch and conspired against him, the crime cannot be punished, and the three clans should be wiped out!" When Dong Cheng heard this, he didn't have the slightest intention of blaming Liu Xie on his face, but just kowtowed to Liu Xie and cried: "Dong Cheng bid farewell to Your Majesty!" ”
I don't know why, Cao Ang, who has been watching from the wall, suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart at this time, although he knew that the political contest was not child's play, and if he didn't die, you would die, but looking at the bleak end of Dong Cheng and others, Cao Ang's heart was still a little sour. After all, no matter how much he grows, he, the 'post-general, champion Hou', has only been in office for three years after all.
——————
In the study of Sikong Mansion, I saw Cao Cao take a sip of tea gently, and then with a stroke of his pen, he crossed out the names of Dong Cheng, Wang Zifu and others on the official book, and said quietly: "Dong Cheng is a thief, he wants to shake Mount Tai with the power of ants, how stupid, also,"
Guo Jia and Cao Ang, who were under him, glanced at each other when they heard this, but did not say a word. On the contrary, Jia Xu's dry voice sounded faintly: "Ming Gong, what should be done with those ministers who have an unstable position today and are standing behind Dong Cheng at a critical moment?" ”
But seeing that Cao Cao was pondering when he heard this, and did not answer, Guo Jia hurriedly said: "Ming Gong, today's matter is just a temptation, not a sweep, and now that the DPRK and China are in turmoil, I am afraid it is not a good opportunity to change officials, and today, they see that Ming Gong is still difficult to protect themselves, let alone themselves?" Let's still focus on Huairou, and it is wonderful to be graceful and powerful! ”
Cao Ang also said with his forehead when he heard this: "Father, the words of sacrificing wine are very reasonable. Cao Cao Fang was about to answer, but suddenly heard a rather arrogant and immature voice at the door say: "The child thinks this is inappropriate. ”
When the four of them heard this, they looked out, and it turned out to be Cao Pi!! Cao Cao frowned, and said coldly: "What are you doing here?" But seeing Cao Pi step in, he said, "Father, the child heard that something happened to the Taimiao today, and I am afraid that you will be injured, so I came to take a look." ”
Unconsciously, Cao Pi is almost thirteen years old, compared to the beginning, his size is growing by leaps and bounds, and the edges and corners between his eyebrows are becoming more and more profound, listening to Cao Pi's rather worried words, Cao Cao was stunned, and then shook his head and smiled: "Don't worry, everything is fine for my father." ”
Cao Pi laughed and said, "Then the child is relieved." I saw Cao Pi turn his head and say to Guo Jia: "Lord Guo, Cao Pi just listened to your words, and felt that it was inappropriate, how could he be indulgent and tolerant of those people?" Those people were taken away by my father at a critical moment, and what is the use of such unrighteous people? Father, let's all be dismissed! ”
Cao Cao smiled when he heard this: "How old are you, and you are still here to make a big statement?" Go, go out and play. Cao Pi heard this: "The child is worried about your father's safety. ”
Cao Cao was stunned when he heard this, then laughed, got up and said happily: "You are so sensible, go, go to the palace with your father." Guo Jia heard the words and said: "Ming Gong, don't you want to"
I saw Cao Cao sneer, and said faintly: "The group of ministers who fell with the wind are alone for the time being, but Concubine Dong is still by the side of the Son of Heaven, and this person must be eliminated!" Guo Jia was silent when he heard this.
Cao Pi heard this: "Then the child can also go to the palace with his father?" Cao Cao glanced at him and said, "Didn't you want to go to the palace to see and see for a long time?" Today is as you wish. Cao Pi jumped happily when he heard this, and then turned his head and said excitedly: "Big brother, are you going with you too?" ”
Cao Ang smiled bitterly and shook his head, but seeing that his brows were deeply furrowed, he turned his head and asked Cao Cao: "Father, why do you have to kill Concubine Dong, I heard that she was pregnant a few years ago, for this matter, the Son of Heaven is still very happy, what threat can she have as a weak female stream" Cao Cao snorted when he heard this: "What, do you still want to stay this rebel to avenge your mother?" ”
Cao Ang shook his head and said, "Father, you can even tolerate the Son of Heaven who wrote the blood edict, why can't you leave an unarmed woman and a baby who has not yet given birth?" Cao Cao glanced at Cao Ang lightly, and did not answer, but just got up and walked out, Cao Pi looked at Cao Ang first, and then followed Cao Cao out closely, Jia Xu glanced at Cao Ang with a complicated expression, as if puzzled, as if relieved, and then walked out of the study.
Only Guo Jia stood with Cao Ang for a while, and when he was young, he saw Guo Jia patting Cao Ang's shoulder and sighing: "General, you still don't understand what Lord Sikong really thinks. Even if there is no such thing as Dong Cheng, Lord Sikong will find another way to kill Concubine Dong. Cao Ang was puzzled: "Brother Fengxiao? Do you mean that there was another reason why Father killed Concubine Dong? ”
I saw Guo Jia sigh softly, and said quietly: "I only told the general a few words, among all the things, the general himself thinks twice, as long as Lord Sikong is still in charge one day, he will not allow the Son of Heaven to have any descendants Fu Wan and his daughter are very smart, he knows Lord Sikong's thoughts, so Queen Fu has not come out so far, but unfortunately, Dong Cheng and Concubine Dong don't understand this truth, his Dong family is broken, it can be regarded as the will of heaven." ”
After listening to Guo Jia's words, Cao Ang was speechless for a long time, it turned out that this was a palace fight, which was even more inhumane than the war, Liu Xie wanted to punish the Cao family, and Cao Cao actually wanted Liu Xie to cut off his children and grandchildren?
Looking at the drizzle that was still falling slowly outside the window, Cao Ang's eyes seemed to flash a little sadness, this is politics? After a while, I only heard him sigh deeply, and said helplessly: "Brother Fengxiao, you accompany your father to the palace, I want to go out for a walk."
