However, the battle became extremely fierce when it attacked Yuan Shu's mansion, Yuan Shu's personal soldiers were equipped with bows and crossbows, and their combat effectiveness was far better than that of ordinary soldiers.

In such a battle, it is easy to cause casualties, Zhang Liao gave an order, and Xu Chu, who was red-eyed, temporarily retreated, transferred archers, and concentrated on shooting.

As soon as the tactics changed, the lethality suddenly increased, and Yuan Shu's personal soldiers immediately fell in large numbers.

But then, a sudden change made Zhang Liao unexpected, Yuan Shu's mansion was full of smoke, and those defending soldiers rushed in, but it was too late, and the fire burned in a blink of an eye.

Everyone immediately thought of the cause of this fire, and Yuan Shu committed suicide in a desperate situation!

Obviously, Yuan Shu had been prepared, the fire started quickly, and there were other people's frightened shouts and screams inside, but they couldn't be rescued at all.

Those pro-soldiers who rushed in rushed out again, and soon collapsed, Yuan Shu was dead, they no longer had a reason to resist, a few pro-soldiers rushed into the fire to commit suicide, but more put down their weapons.

Zhang Liao immediately asked the soldiers to collect and surrender the prisoners while carrying soil and water to control the spread of the fire.

An hour later, Zhang Liao stood on top of the mansion that had been turned into ruins, and in the main hall, a charred corpse was draped in Yuan Shu's armor, and next to it was a sword, and the corpse was no longer visible.

Several other bodies were also buried in the fire, but judging by their posture, it was clearly not voluntary, and several bodies should have been killed before the fire started.

"It's a good burial."

Zhang Liao commanded, turned around, and came and went.

Zhuge Liang, who was following him, said in a low voice: "Master, the corpse can't see the appearance clearly, it may not be Yuan Shu, or the golden cicada's plan to get out of the shell." ”

Zhang Liao shook his head and sighed: "The general trend has gone, what about shelling?" ”

Speaking of which, Yuan Shu hated Zhang Liao to the core, but Zhang Liao had no hatred for Yuan Shu, too, thinking that his first set of good equipment and the first pot of gold were burst out of Yuan Shu.

I was young and vigorous at the time, and I drank again, but now that I think about it, I did play a little too much at that time, and if I want to change it to now, I will just kick it away at most.

As for whether Yuan Shu is dead or alive, it doesn't matter to him, what he wants is Yuzhou, and Yuan Shu's forces have also been dispersed, as far as Yuan Shu's ability is concerned, are you still afraid that he will not be able to restore?

It's just that what Zhang Liao didn't expect was that Yuan Shu's hatred for him was far greater than he imagined!

The only thing Yuan Shu didn't expect was that he himself would be defeated so quickly and completely in the hands of Zhang Liao, and he would be defeated before those plans were completed.

However, even if he died in Ruyin City, the plan did not stop and was still being implemented.

……

Luoyang, Yin Mansion, Henan, Cao Cao, who had just controlled the Jingshi with Liu Bei, was frowning, looking at Cao Hong below, and his voice was solemn: "Dong Cheng died in the mansion?" ”

Cao Hong responded: "It's dead." ”

Cao Cao's eyes were suspicious: "Just after you and others attacked the Dong Mansion?" ”

"Not bad." Cao Hong nodded.

Cao Cao lingered for two steps: "But you were killed?" ”

Cao Hong said: "The last general was the first to rush into the house, Dong Cheng was dead at the time, he was pierced by a sharp knife through his throat, his body was still warm, he died just a cup of tea, he held a sharp blade in one hand, it seemed to be suicidal, but the last general thought it was not, the last general broke Dong Cheng's eyelids and saw a look of horror......"

Cao Cao raised his eyebrows: "Have you ever caught the murderer?" ”

Cao Hong shook his head: "I have controlled everyone in Dong Cheng's mansion, but I don't know who the murderer is." ”

"Whose hand did it?"

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and looked at Cheng Yu on the side.

Is it Liu Xuande? Or Dong Chengqiu's family? Or even Zhang Wenyuan?

Dong Cheng will die sooner or later, even if he kills him, it doesn't matter, but it shouldn't be framed on his head, especially at this time, Dong Cheng's death like this has forced his relationship with Liu Xie, the Son of Heaven, to an extremely bad situation, and there is even no room for maneuver.

In any case, this black cauldron is already on his back, unless he finds evidence.

Cheng Yu groaned and said, "Liu Xuande and Zhang Wenyuan are both heroes, and there is too little evidence to determine for a while. ”

At this time, a trace of palpitation flashed in Cao Hong's eyes, and he said: "In addition, we rushed into Dong Cheng's backyard and saw thousands of corpses, piled up in the backyard, and the situation was extremely infiltrating. ”

"Is that so?"

Cao Cao and Cheng Yu were both shocked, and looked at Cao Hong together, and Cheng Yu suddenly asked the key point: "Who is the deceased?" ”

Cao Hong's expression was solemn and strange: "According to the people of the Dong Mansion, all the people who died were the elites that Dong Cheng sent out to attack the Great General's Mansion last night. ”

"The elite who attacked the Great General's Mansion! Attacked the General's Mansion last night, and at dawn all the corpses in Dong Cheng's backyard? ”

Cao Cao felt a cold sweat oozing from his back.

Cheng Yu's face also changed, and he hurriedly asked: "Lord, the eldest prince led people to the General's Mansion to protect Zhang Liao's family, did he send back the news?" ”

Cao Cao was chilled all over, his eyes were full of panic, and even his voice changed: "No." ”

But at this moment, Cao Ang's voice came from outside: "Father, the child asks to see." ”

"Come on in!" As soon as Cao Cao heard the voice of his eldest son, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and then he felt sweating all over his body.

At the moment when Cheng Yu asked, he almost thought that he was going to see the body of his eldest son!

After Cao Ang came in, his expression was also solemn, and he hugged his fists without waiting for Cao Cao to ask: "Father, the General's Mansion is empty, but there is blood everywhere, when there was a big battle last night, the child didn't know if Uncle Zhang's family was robbed, so he hurried back and asked his father to decide." ”

Cao Cao looked at Cheng Yu: "According to Zhongde's opinion, where is Wenyuan's family?" ”

Cheng Yu's eyes were clear: "Dong Cheng attacked the General's Mansion, but the whole army was annihilated, so it can be concluded that Zhang Liao has long been prepared for the crisis, he has always valued his family, and he must have quietly sent his family members away from Luoyang when he set out on the expedition." ”

Cao Cao was a little disappointed, if Zhang Liao died in Yuzhou, then Zhang Liao's family would be an important bargaining chip for him to win over Zhang Liao's old department, if Zhang Liao did not die, he had Zhang Liao's family in hand, and there was also an additional barrier, and now Zhang Liao's family was not there, he would lose a means.

However, the matter of the General's Mansion made him a little vigilant in his heart: "In this way, Wen Yuan has already made a layout in Beijing?" But I don't know what he means? ”

"Zhang Liao went on an expedition, and it is inevitable that he will be prepared in Beijing." Cheng Yu muttered: "However, according to the corpse of Dong Fu, this does not seem to be Zhang Liao's means, it should be from the hands of Zhang Liao's military advisor Li Ru, this person has always acted unscrupulously, Zhang Liao handed over Luoyang to him, but we must not be guarded against." ”

"This is a dangerous battle." Cao Cao sighed, and then said excitedly: "Now that I control the imperial city, how should I act?" ”

Cheng Yu stroked his beard and said: "I have already contacted the ministers, and I will hold a court meeting tomorrow to elect the lord and the princess to the position of Sikong, record the affairs of the book, and quickly control the court and the Beijing division." ”

Hearing the matter of Lu Shangshu, Cao Cao's expression moved: "How is Shangshu Ling Xun Wenruo?" ”

Cheng Yu said: "Xun Yu has resigned from his official position and is at home behind closed doors. ”

Cao Cao's eyes lit up: "This person has great talent, I want to reuse it, I should personally come to the door and ask for it." ”

Cheng Yu said: "When I went, I saw Liu Xuande wandering outside the Xunfu Gate. ”

Cao Cao sighed: "True heroes see the same thing, I can't fall behind Liu Bei." ”

Cheng Yu nodded and said: "With Xun Wenruo's talent, he should indeed ......."

I didn't want him to say anything halfway, and a voice suddenly came from outside: "Lord, Xiahou Yuan, please see you." ”

Cao Cao hurriedly said: "Miaocai fast forward." ”

Xiahou Yuan is in charge of controlling the imperial city, and he must have something important to do when he comes here at this time.

Sure enough, as soon as Xiahou Yuan came in, he said in a deep voice: "Lord, there is a group of soldiers and horses coming to the imperial city from the north, about five or six thousand people, it is the Black Mountain thief in the poison department, the Tao is here by edict, and the Son of Heaven also ordered the Black Mountain thief to enter the city to meet Yu Poison." ”

Montenegro thieves are poisonous? When did the Son of Heaven hook up with them?

Cao Cao frowned suddenly.
