Time passed slowly, no matter who it was, they all felt that Yuan Cao and the two sides officially declared war, and they would ask for time, even Yuan Xi felt the same, because it would take at least half a month just to transfer troops, and it would take a lot of time to add planning, arrangement, etc., but Cao Cao, the ruthlessness and domineering of the hero, directly advanced this step.

Two days ago, on the gorgeous, majestic, and spectacular Imperial City Square in Xudu, I saw a forest of swords, thousands of soldiers were standing here with murderous spirits, and the majestic generals, holding weapons, their eyes swept around like knives, and in their central position, officials in gorgeous official uniforms stood in several rows with anxiety, some of them were still trembling, their faces were pale, as if they were about to fall down at any time, and a solemn and depressing atmosphere permeated the square.

In front of the officials, on a high platform, a man who looks good, but has timid eyes and a cowardly expression, is sitting on the throne in imperial clothes, his hands trembling slightly, and his face is obviously nervous.

"Bring people up" At this time, a majestic voice suddenly sounded, and I saw that not far from Liu Xie, dressed in a gorgeous costume with a casual expression, he was already a big official of the imperial court, and Cao Cao, the head of the people, waved his hand lightly.

"No!"

Soon, a middle-aged man in his fifties was slowly and directly dragged over by two soldiers from a distance, still on the ground.

The standing official was suddenly startled, and Liu Xie, who was sitting high, slid even more nervously in his Adam's apple.

At this time, a dignified-looking official came to the man with an expressionless face, and asked in a cold tone: "Dong Cheng, who else is your accomplice, and who else is involved in the plan to assassinate the prime minister, say?" ”

Just this morning, when Cao Cao held the Yuedan Commentary, when Dong Cheng, the father of Dong Guiren, secretly arranged for the dead to prepare to assassinate Cao Cao, he didn't think that Cao Cao had already prepared, not only did he not succeed, but was captured alive on the spot.

Dong Cheng glanced contemptuously at the man who asked him what he was talking about, and kept silent.

Cao Cao's eyes flashed, and he suddenly looked at an elegant, handsome man standing at the head of the officials, and said softly: "Xun Lingjun, you have a reputation in the court, or you come to ask, maybe Dong Cheng is willing to say."

Xun Yu's pupils shrank, but in the end he nodded, and after giving a salute to the apprehensive Liu Xie, he walked slowly to Dong Cheng and asked in a low voice: "General Dong, the prime minister asked me to ask you if you still have accomplices."

Dong Cheng's eyes froze, he looked directly at Cao Cao, and said loudly: "No, this is his own plan, even His Majesty doesn't know about it, even if you use torture, you will never succumb to the obscenity of your Cao thief."

The corners of Cao Cao's mouth raised, and he looked at Dong Cheng like a clown.

Xun Yu frowned and continued: "General Dong, why are you so stubborn, they are allied with you, they will definitely sign the alliance, where is the alliance now?" ”

Hearing this, many officials below suddenly shook their bodies, and Dong Cheng scolded directly: "Xun Yu, your Xun family is also one of the most famous families in the world, and now you are indeed subservient to Cao Thief, what qualifications do you have to ask so-and-so, what qualifications do you have?"

"Sikong, the minister is incompetent, Dong Cheng is reluctant to say to the minister, "Xun Yu hugged his fist."

"Haha, Ling Jun has worked hard, don't say it! Someone always said" After Cao Cao smiled slightly, he saw blood splashing out, and a general with an imposing tiger holding a big knife chopped Dong Cheng's head out with a knife.

When the head rolled down the steps, all the officials below were suddenly frightened and pale, Liu Xie trembled even more, Xun Yu glanced at Xu Chu very dissatisfied, but in the end he didn't say anything.

"Xu Chu, how can you kill people here, if you want to kill them, you can bring them back, you almost dirty Your Majesty's clothes" Cao Cao suddenly scolded angrily.

"The last general will know his mistake" Xu Chu immediately hugged his fists.

"Get down," Cao Cao ordered.

"No!"

After Cao Cao tidied up his clothes a little, he looked at all the officials present, and said gently: "Don't be nervous, Cao is asking, is there anyone willing to turn himself in, Cao is not a person who holds grudges, as long as he stands up and admits his mistake, it will be over."

When the officials heard this, they lowered their heads.

After Cao Cao waited for a while, he shook his head with disappointment on his face, and said softly: "Then please Dong Guiren, she must be one"

"No!" After a while, a delicate-looking and gorgeously dressed woman was taken off from a distance, leaving a long blood mark on the road.

"Your Majesty, save me" The woman kept shouting sadly, she was Dong Cheng's woman, Liu Xie's wife.

When Liu Xie, who was sitting, saw this scene, he immediately stood up anxiously, and hurriedly begged: "Sikong, Dong Guiren has nothing to do with this matter, he is pregnant, and he can't stand such suffering!" ”

Cao Cao suddenly became serious, and said coldly with a cold look in his eyes: "Your Majesty still remembers who was thousands of miles away from Li Dao and Guo Yan back then, saving Your Majesty from the dire situation."

"It's Sikong," Liu Xie said scaredly

"Then who was the first to send troops to fight after Yuan Shu claimed that the emperor usurped the Han Dynasty," Cao Cao asked sharply.

"It's still commonplace," Liu Xie bowed his head and said.

"That's good!" Cao Cao suddenly pulled out the sword on his waist and threw it directly on the ground, then slowly knelt down and said: "Cao is loyal to Your Majesty, but Your Majesty does listen to slander, thinking that Cao Nai is the generation of Dong Zhuo, and the sword is here, if Your Majesty really feels so, kill the minister!" ”

"Sikong misunderstood, I shouldn't know about Dong Cheng's matter, Sikong shouldn't wronged me!" Hearing this, Liu Xie hurriedly said.

"Bastard, there are only wronged ministers in the world, how can there be unjust kings! Pick it up for so-and-so" Cao Cao suddenly drank hard, not only scared Liu Xie, but also the courtiers present.

Liu Xie looked at the saber next to him, trembling all over, and when he picked it up tremblingly, several cold eyes suddenly hit, and his body was suddenly cold, and he threw the sword on the ground in fright.

Cao Cao smiled contemptuously, looked at it for a while, slowly stood up, looked at Liu Xie lying on his stomach, and said very disappointedly: "Emperor Gaozu, beheaded Xiang Yu and won the world, Emperor Guangwu, beheaded Wang Mang won the world, such a hero, he did give birth to such a scared descendant who couldn't hold a knife, such as today's chaos, not to mention anything else, that said that Cao received the news some time ago, that Yuan Shao's son Yuan Xi should be about the same age as His Majesty, but he actually killed Gongsun Du, the tiger and wolf's disciple, and captured Liaodong, if Cao expected it to be good, he changed to His Majesty's position, It is estimated that it will bite the minister to death immediately, hahaha"

Disdainful, domineering laughter echoed, making many of the courtiers present angry.

"Sikong, I know it's wrong," Liu Xie hurriedly explained.

"Your Majesty is right, it's the mistake of winning people below" Cao Cao said softly, waved his hand lightly, and immediately two soldiers took a white silk and put it between Dong Guiren's necks, and pulled it up heavily.

"Sikong, don't! Dong Guiren is innocent," Liu Xie immediately pulled Cao Cao's trouser leg and pleaded in a wailing voice.

"Your Majesty, please hurry up" Cao Cao helped Liu Xie up, and said with a sincere face: "The minister just wants to know who is complicit with Dong Cheng"

"I really don't know! Sikong" Hearing this, Liu Xie's eyes were already filled with tears.

"Your Majesty" Dong Guiren had difficulty breathing, and kept shouting in a hoarse tone, but Liu Xie was really afraid and didn't dare to say more.

"Stop" At this time, many ministers finally couldn't help it, and they were provoked by Cao Cao's behavior one by one, and they scolded endlessly.

"Cao Cao, the noble son of heaven is the king, but you are the minister, how can you love the king as a minister!"

"Dong Guiren is pregnant with the blood of the Son of Heaven, you actually died in white silk, you are a rebellion"

"How different is your behavior from Dong Zhuo?"

"Han thief, Han thief!"

"Haha, good" Seeing this scene, Cao Cao showed a satisfied smile on his face, and in an instant, a large number of soldiers rushed in, and all these insulting ministers were killed in an instant.

The rest of the people were suddenly trembling with fright, and at this time, an extraordinary official stood up and scolded: "Cao Cao, these are all old ministers of the Han family, you can kill them if you say so, and there is no Han family to get the king's law."

Cao Cao glanced at it and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Taiwei Yang, it is really awe-inspiring and admirable, it seems that you are also one of them"

"Come, take"

"Sikong!" Hearing this, a man with an extraordinary temperament and a handsome appearance immediately knelt on the ground and said loudly in a hurry: "Father, he only offended Sikong by remembering the friendship of the same dynasty, but he is by no means Dong Zhuo's accomplice!" Please be clear! ”

"Get out of the way" Cao Cao said lightly, looked at the other official who was trembling, and said expectantly: "Sima Gong, don't you say something?" You're Jing Zhaoyin, maybe it's all up to you, it's easy for assassins to get in! Are you in the same party? ”

"I, I" Sima Fang wanted to say yes, but he was completely shocked by Cao Cao's killing power, and he didn't dare in his heart.

Seeing this scene, another young man next to him knelt down and said loudly: "Sikong, my father said that he never participated in Dong Cheng's rebellion."

"Really? How can you see that if Cao is Dong Cheng, the first person to buy is Sima Gong" Cao Cao asked with a smile.

"Sikong, the reason why my father is relaxed is that Sikong is thirsty for talent, so he accidentally mixed in a few assassins, but even so, it also lets the world know how eager Sikong is, and would rather risk his life to hold the Yuedanping, which is precisely to maintain Sikong and for the foundation of the Han family" The young man explained loudly.

"Haha, you can really talk" Cao Cao walked up to the kneeling man step by step with some surprise, and said, "You are the one?" What the? ”

"Yu Sikong, under Sima Yi" Sima Yi raised his deep, intelligent eyes.

"Interesting, I'll let you go this time, take Sima Fang and Sima Lang, haha" Cao Cao laughed loudly, as if all he had just heard was nonsense.

"Sikong" Sima Yi's face was shocked.

In this way, the matter of Cao ** Son of Heaven, killing nobles and beheading ministers quickly spread, and the world was shaken, and many people who were loyal to the Han Dynasty were furious, and the north finally began to act.

This officially kicked off the Great Civil War.
