17, Xu Du
Xu Du, Sikong Mansion Lobby.
Cao Cao, who was in a hat and swallow suit, reclined, flipped through the school report at a glance and ten lines, and when he turned to a small note, his fingers jumped violently, and the whole person stood up suddenly, and the small sac on his waist touched the official document and did not pay attention.
He stood upright, his lips twitching, and he was talking to himself, ignoring the astonished gazes of the other officials in the hall.
After a while, Cao Cao, who seemed to be awakened, laughed, strode to the center of the hall with a note in his hand, and chanted loudly.
"Cuihan said that the land is dangerous, and the two capitals are strong.
The frost peak is straight to the road, and the glacier meanders around the city.
The ancient wood is jagged, and the cold ape is intermittent.
The crown and cover come and go, and the wind and dust are frightened.
Talking about the first horse, the pseudo-dawn pre-rooster crows.
Abandon the ambition and seal the mud to bear the ambition.
Don't be really popular, An is well-known. ”
Half of the poem is about scenes, half of it is about ancient times. With pride into the scene, citing allusions and Ming Zhi, the whole poem is simple and vigorous, making people feel immersive and mindful when they read it.
Cao Cao is an official eunuch, well-educated, talented, he is not only familiar with military laws and orders, but also has a deep attainment in poetry and books, at this time read Yan Xing's poems, excited inexplicably, there seems to be a danger of Kuihan in front of him, there is Gongsun Long, Meng Weijun, Zhongjun, Wang Yuan and other ancients, there is a bird's-eye view of Yan Xing, the posture of the figure.
Affected by this, he closed his eyes and concentrated, and was about to brew a good sentence in his belly, but he was soon disturbed by a "Ming Gong", and the poetry disappeared in an instant.
Cao Cao, who was disturbed, looked fierce, and when he saw that the person who came was Guo Jia, who was white-faced and thin, he instantly turned into a smiling face, and said haha:
"Fengxiao, you came just in time, you have a new poem here, and there is a shortage of people to taste it together."
"Ming Gong, it is okay to appreciate the poems in the future, but today's minister has something important to say."
Guo Jia bowed and said solemnly.
Cao Cao knew that Guo Jia's attitude would never be untargeted, so he immediately waved his hand and ordered the officials in the hall to retreat, and then asked solemnly:
"What happened?"
"Jiangdong's secret report, Sun Ce Kaichun was assassinated in Dantu Mountain, died of his injuries, and has died."
"Sun Ce is dead?" Cao Cao was also stunned suddenly, he took the secret note in Guo Jia's hand, and after studying the text attentively, after a while, he took a long breath and smiled easily:
"Sun Ce is dead, Xuzhou is worry-free!"
Yes. Although Cao Cao actively married Sun in an attempt to alleviate the threat of Sun Ce, who had grown rapidly, to the states of Jiangbei, Sun Ce, who had previously sent his younger brother Sun Quan to attack Guangling, had always been haunted by the defeat of Xuzhou.
At this time, his assassination can be said to be God's help to Cao Cao, which unexpectedly turned the southern border of Xuzhou into safety.
"Now that Sun Ce is dead, who is in power in Jiangdong?"
"It is said that his younger brother Sun Quan succeeded to the throne, supplemented by Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu."
"Is that the young man of the Sun clan who has just been promoted to Maocai?"
"Yes, the previous two attacks on Guangling, this person also led the troops."
"Oh, the minister is strong and the lord is weak, it seems that in a few years, Jiangdong will not have to worry about it."
Cao Cao thoughtfully, squinted his eyes, and said leisurely.
Sun Ce crisscrossed Jiangdong, invincible, and eliminated many heroes in Wuzhong by force, gathering the divided Jiangdong, but this was only a superficial unity, and the Sun family was far from being supported by the people of Jiangdong on the ground.
Now he died unexpectedly and was succeeded by a young man Sun Quan, who was not yet weak, and faced with a grass-roots foundation, an old minister with great power, an unruly general, an uncle who controlled the soldiers and horses, the Jiangdong surname who was ready to move and the Shanyue who made a rebellion in the county, and the Sun family seemed to be in danger under the rule.
Cao Cao had always had dealings with the Jiangdong clan, and he vaguely felt that this was a good time to intervene in Jiangdong.
Slowly, Cao Cao paced back to his seat, he thought for a while, and suddenly thought of another thing.
"Fengxiao, the messenger of Chang'an, is he still in the post house in the city?"
"It's still there, it's the third time I've asked to see Ming Gong!"
"Haha, then let him wait a little longer."
"In addition, not only the envoys from Chang'an asked to see them, but the envoys from Yecheng came again, and they said that there was a major military situation to discuss with the Duke of Ming."
"Well, let them wait."
Cao Cao laughed, no longer paid attention to it, and casually looked at the secret note of the school affairs, the new secret note in hand was from the palace, Cao Cao only looked at it a few times and put it down again, he lowered his head, muttered for a long time, and didn't know what he was thinking.
After half a ring, Cao Cao raised his head again, looking at Guo Jia, who was still waiting in the hall, he suddenly showed an expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
"Bonghyo, do you want to see a good show?"
···
Outside the city of Xudu, a manor.
Dong Cheng, who was fat, carefully turned on the switch of the underground secret room in the room, and tapped the code a few times, and only after getting the code response from the person in the secret room did he let out a sigh of relief, smiled and said to a middle-aged man beside him:
"Ziyu, please!"
The middle-aged man looked at the dim secret room, hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and tiptoed down the wooden ladder.
There was a mixture of dampness and decay in the secret room, and the middle-aged man had just adjusted to the dim candlelight in the secret room when he saw two familiar faces standing on the side of the wooden ladder, looking at him with a smile.
The middle-aged man was a little worried in his heart, he took a step back, and just happened to touch the wooden ladder and made a sound, Dong Cheng, who was following behind, hurriedly supported the middle-aged man and said with a smile
"Ziyou, they are all acquaintances, and the basement is dim, but you have to stand firm."
The middle-aged man nodded a little embarrassedly, but fortunately he couldn't see his somewhat pale face clearly because of the dim candlelight, so that he could hide his gaffe, and bowed his hand:
"Wu Jun, Chongjun, it's been a long time."
"Haha, Wang Jun doesn't have to be formal, please!"
Saying this, the four of them walked to the table with candlesticks and documents one after another, and the middle-aged man who was sitting in front of him looked at the three people who were staggered in the candlelight, and his heart fluctuated again after calming down a little.
Who would have thought that this ordinary manor outside the city would be the location of the secret meeting of the anti-Cao courtiers, and who would have thought that in Xu Du, where everything was done in Sikong Mansion School, Dong Cheng, the general of the Che Cavalry, had secretly gathered Wu Shuo, Changshui Lieutenant Chongji and others to plan for a long time.
Just when the middle-aged man looked at Dong Cheng and the others, Dong Cheng and the three of them were also looking at the middle-aged man's somewhat pale face.
The middle-aged man was a partial general, and he was one of the important courtiers against Cao that Dong Cheng and others tried to fight for.
Since stabilizing the periphery of Xu Du, Cao Cao's loyal and respectful face that welcomed the Son of Heaven gradually changed.
He squeezed out Yang Biao, Zhao Wen and other old ministers of the Han Dynasty, suppressed Liu Ai, Yang Qi and other close ministers of the Son of Heaven, killed Zhao Yan, Feng Shuo, Tai Chong and other dissident courtiers, and wantonly installed cronies, as if he had firmly controlled the Xudu court in his own hands, and all the officials of the Son of Heaven became puppets manipulated by him.
Seeing the death of the courtiers loyal to the Han family, the sickness, and the exile and the elevated, the worried young emperor and the loyal ministers couldn't help but sigh secretly: "If Sheji does not die at the hands of Dong, Li, and Yan thieves, will it also die at the hands of Cao thieves?" ”
Obviously, the young Son of Heaven did not intend to sit still, he had to regain power from Cao Cao, so Dong Cheng, a relative who had obtained the edict, began to secretly plan for a new bloody coup.
Born in the army, he tried his best to win over the general Wang Fu, and what he liked was the more than 1,000 parts under his command.
Don't look at Dong Chenggui as a general of chariots and cavalry, but the only soldiers and horses he can really mobilize are the remnants of the original troops and the 2,000 Jingzhou soldiers allocated to him by Yan Xing, but now this army is not only lacking in ordnance and armor, but also being watched by Cao Cao's soldiers and horses stationed in Xudu, and he urgently needs a new army that can cause trouble.
But Wang Fu seemed to be a little timid, in his opinion, among the people who conspired, in addition to himself and Dong Cheng, the captain of Changshui was a false title, not to mention Wu Shuo and other old ministers, once something happened, each family could dispatch ten or twenty Ding Zhuang was already exhausted, and the gap with Cao Cao was so huge, how could he not let him worry.
Sometimes, the frightened Wang Fu even had the idea of retreating.
It's just that he is deeply involved in it, and he can't get rid of these accomplices, and he can't get rid of that nightmare-like edict.
Dong Cheng seemed to see Wang Fu's thoughts, he laughed dryly, and said angrily:
"Ziyou doesn't need to worry too much, although there are only four people who are planning things at the moment, but they are just afraid of attracting attention, so they don't let other monarchs come."
Wu Shuo and Chongji also hurriedly responded:
"Those who are virtuous are not in harmony with the vulgar, and those who have achieved great success are not in the public. In the past, Dong and Li were strong and strong, but they could go against the grain, unpopular, and the edict of the thief came out, and all the people under his command fell apart in an instant, and now the crime of the thief is worse than that of Dong and Li, and we have the edict of the Son of Heaven. ”
Wang Fu felt the hot gazes of the three people, his face was suddenly hot, and his blood surged, and he immediately said:
"Kuang Fu Han Room, Auxiliary Son of Heaven, and the position of a minister! Since he came today, he is to advance and retreat with all the kings, and he has already put life and death out of the way. ”
"Okay, the son is loyal to the country, the luck of the Son of Heaven, the luck of the Han family!"
Speaking of this, Dong Cheng smiled again and said:
"There is also good news, General Zuo Liu Xuande has sent a secret letter, he has mastered the soldiers and horses in Xuzhou, and if there is an incident in Xudu, he can raise troops to respond at any time."
"That's great!"
Hearing the news, not only did Chongji and Wu Shuo laugh with their palms, but Wang Fu was also in good spirits.
Liu Bei won the hearts of the people in Xuzhou, Cao Bing killed and plundered many people in Xuzhou in previous years, unpopular, Cao Cao now wants to control Xuzhou, it is inseparable from the help of Liu Bei, who enjoys the name of benevolence and righteousness. And Liu Bei has also secretly joined Dong Cheng's small group plotting against Cao, ready to raise troops in Xuzhou at any time to respond to Xudu's coup d'état of seizing power.
