The setting sun swept like a tidal wave, dyeing a patch of red. A group of soldiers of the Tiger Guard Battalion gathered under the city tower, the sword soldiers were divided into two columns, and in the orange light, the standing and deceased body was slowly put down by Cao Ang, Cao Pi, Cao Zhen, and Xiahou Nan, lifted in his arms, and walked down the city tower step by step.

"My lord—"

Not far away, the howling fat man was helped up, rushed over two steps and knelt down, looking at the old man who was carried away from him, Xu Chu's voice was already hoarse, his fists kept smashing on the ground, and he knocked on the ground with his head against the lord who was gradually moving away, and cried loudly with red eyes.

The serene face with closed eyes reflected everyone's sight, Xun Yu's body trembled, his steps staggered, and there was only 'heh.....' in his throat When the old man's body arrived in front of him, his tense and twitching face collapsed, and he cried out in a suppressed voice, "Prime Minister ..... and Yu are determined to help the Han family ....... save the world...... Why did you go before me......" Sadness crawled into his heart, and finally stomped his feet angrily and cried loudly, almost fainting, and was supported by Xun You and Cheng Yu, who had wet eyes behind him, and did not fall.

Near the city tower, the eunuchs and palace maids came over with buckets of water, and with the help of the palace guards, they washed away the large areas of blood stains on the ground, and wiped away some blood stains. The corpses had already been removed when they came, and not many people knew how many people had died here just now, but just the palace road covered with a thick layer of plasma on the ground, mixed with the minced flesh in the blood, made people want to vomit out in horror.

In the silhouette of the setting sun, the crow's cry sounded in the corner of the palace roof, and Gongsun Zhi was still standing on the city tower, until he watched the old man's body carry onto the carriage, and Dian Wei dragged him with a bloody body to call him, then he took a little numb feet and walked down the city tower with an expressionless face.

At the back of the city tower, Liu Xie, who was standing a little farther away, cried dryly, "Send the prime minister!" The waving arms trembled excitedly in the process, and in a moment, the sky light in the west shone on the tall Northland Wolf King walked down the stone steps and stood at the gate of the imperial city looking at him.

"Governor..... you are ....." The Son of Heaven wiped the water stains from the corners of his eyes and couldn't help but ask. Over there, the figure standing quietly pulled out the Heavenly Sword at his waist, lifted it from his hand and slowly lifted it, and then a hoarse and low voice sounded in this red light.

"The prime minister is gone, and I will have the final say in the ....... of this court in the future."

Pointing over from a few zhang away, Liu Xie seemed to be able to feel that the tip of the sword had been pressed against his throat, and the excitement of Cao Cao's death was gone at this moment, the smile on his face twitched slightly, and his hand was a little unclear, "Du Du..... what are you talking about, the prime minister is not here, isn't there still all the civil and military forces in the court...... Although the world is chaotic, it is still necessary for the governor to lead the troops to deter ......"

While speaking, there were also voices among the civil and military who shouted: "Gongsun stop! You dare to point your sword at Your Majesty, and you want to kill the king with your ministers....." In the next second, the sound stopped abruptly, and the corpse that had lost the sound fell to the ground, and a small halberd was inserted into his forehead in shock, and it was more than half of it. Dian Wei withdrew his hand, his eyes were like copper bells glaring, and he stood behind Gongsun Zhi with a fierce look: "My lord speaks, if anyone interjects indiscriminately, this is the end!" ”

Gongsun Zhi raised his hand, the giant man retracted a moment, the cloak unfolded, he turned around and put his sword back into the sheath, facing Liu Xie and a group of civil and military ministers behind him, and said as he walked, and the words passed over: "I am different from Cao Chengxiang, if I can solve it with a knife, I will never use my mouth, so I will weigh it carefully." ”

Over there, Liu Xie's face was pale, and his legs were limp and he sat on the ground.

When the talking figure walked through the door, he patted Xu Chu, who was still crying, on the shoulder: "Get up, go and give your father-in-law a ride." ”

The big fat man with tears and snot on his face wiped his tears and stood up, picked up the tiger's head knife from the ground, and cried sadly while walking.

"If you don't give your father a ride, what are you waiting for me here?" Gongsun stopped out of the palace gate, and Cao Ang, who was waiting, did not ride a horse, and walked side by side on the Imperial City Avenue, his eyes were red and tear-stained, and his emotions had probably calmed down, "Father walked under the escort of everyone, his face was peaceful, there was not much pain, and when he went home, Ang was not too late to keep the spirit, but he was waiting here, and wanted to ask the governor of the next Cao family, this Xu Capital, this Central Plains states, where to go......"

He took a deep breath and looked at the bazaar that gradually came into view, and the people came and went, "...... here is always the foundation that my father has worked hard all his life to build. ”

Gongsun Zhi put his hands behind his back, looked around, and couldn't see any expression on his face: "For the time being, you will take care of it, first stabilize the transition, stabilize the states, and the prime minister of the province will die, those people think that the opportunity has come again, and when my soldiers and horses go south cross the Yellow River, the entire Central Plains and the north will be regarded as truly no war." ”

"But before that...... There's still something to be done, and it's time to wash it up. ”

As he spoke, the sun set and darkness struck. Soon after, the iron hooves roared in the city, and groups of cavalry and government officials rushed through the city, collecting evidence, or forcibly breaking down the doors, and all the gentry, scribes, and families who participated in the attack on the imperial city, even the big families who were officials in the court, were all flailed, and the people of the whole city felt a storm of mountain rain coming.

The news of Cao Cao's death has already spread.

The news of the sudden death of this powerful man in the Central Plains and the north for more than 20 years is really shocking, and even some do not believe that it is true.

In the southwest, Liu Bei, who had entered Shu, received this message in mid-September, and there was no expression on his face, but he looked at the scout who passed on the information with some uncertainty in his tone: "Really dead?" ”

"Back to the lord, Cao Cao is indeed dead."

"What about the Central Plains now?" The meaning of his words was obviously to ask who took Cao Cao's banner, but it was inconvenient and too direct.

The scout was also an old man who followed Liu Bei all the way, but when he said the words later, his voice trembled: "Yes...... It's Gongsun Zhi...... He received more than 200,000 soldiers and horses from the Central Plains states ..... the north of the Yellow River, and at this time, it is estimated that he has entered the boundary of Yanzhou. ”

Zhuge Liang half-closed his eyes, his eyelids jumped in this sentence, and when he raised his gaze, although Liu Bei, who was sitting opposite, couldn't see the look on his face, the information in his hand was trembling slightly, "Shouldn't the foundation of the ..... Cao family be inherited by the heirs...... What is the turn of the grandson wolf...... Cao Mengde is a hero, and he is so sick and confused......."

However, he also understood one thing in his heart, after winning the Gongsun Zhi of the Central Plains, it was already unbelievably huge, with more than 200,000 combatable soldiers, as well as the rich Central Plains, when he was about to look for the military advisors around him, someone hurried in from outside, "Lord Qi, there is a spy to pass back." ”

"If there's anything else, let's talk about it together." Liu Bei put down the information a little weakly.

"There are envoys from neighboring countries in the north, and Xu Du is in front of him to see Gongsun ......."

Zhuge Liang unexpectedly spoke at this time: "Isn't it the Son of Heaven? Then, seeing that the scout shook his head and vetoed, he frowned, looked at Liu Bei, and shook his feather fan lightly: "Lord, hurry up and attack the land of Xichuan, things are not good." ”

"Good..... I can only do this, the Han family is weak, and I am ready to shoulder the big responsibility! ”

However, soon after, all kinds of news followed, making the atmosphere in the world tense to the extreme - Gongsun stopped being crowned king and granted amnesty to the world.
