Chapter 141: Jia Xu's Viciousness
As soon as Xun Yu's words came out, everyone couldn't help but wake up, and their eyes looked at Jia Xu with a little more jealousy and disgust.
Jia Xu also knew that his move would definitely not please him, and it would cause public anger, but his face was firm, and he looked at Cao Cao directly: "If it weren't for that, I am afraid it would be difficult for the horse barbarians to fall for the scheme." And in order to anger Ma Manzi as much as possible, the prime minister is afraid that he will also arrest the uncle Dong Cheng, the prince of Shilang, the captain of Changshui, Wu Shuo, the general Wu Zilan, and the imperial doctor Ji Ping, and behead them to show the public!! ”
But every time Jia Xu named a name, everyone's faces changed, and it can be seen that almost all of these people are powerful and prestigious ministers of the dynasty, and Jia Xu wants to kill all these people this time, this move is really terrifying, and even makes people unable to comply for a while.
"Javon and you are crazy!! These are all ministers of the imperial court, by his uncle Dong Cheng, but also the younger brother of the Empress Dowager Dong, is a royal relative, if the lord is killed, he will be blamed by the loyal people of the world, and even cause a situation of enemies with the world!! The more Xun Yu listened, the more frightened he became, and finally he couldn't help but be angry, pointing at Jia Xu and scolding him with all his might.
As soon as Xun Yu's voice fell, even Cao Hong, who had always respected him, said anxiously: "I think the military advisor is reasonable, these people have often been secretly in contact in recent years, and we have secretly found out that Dong Cheng seems to intend to unite these people to act in secret, and it will be unfavorable to the lord!" If it weren't for the soft-heartedness of the lord and his reluctance to cause turmoil, Lao Tzu would have killed all the old thieves in Dong Cheng with his soldiers and horses~!! ”
But listening to Cao Hong's roar, many soldiers responded to his shout. Cao Ren's expression froze, and he also said to Cao Cao: "Lord, it is indeed a hidden danger for these people to stay, not to mention that the war between our army and the Ma family is about to start soon, and I am afraid that there will be no time to deal with these people at that time. ”
Xun Yu's audience responded one after another, his face changed, and when he was about to speak, Xun Yu suddenly cast a look at him. Xun Yu's expression changed, and he couldn't help but secretly observe Cao Cao's expression, and sure enough, he saw Cao Cao's displeasure on his face, so he didn't dare to say more.
"Since ancient times, if you want to achieve great things, you naturally can't avoid sacrifice, not to mention that these people don't know the general situation, and they want to confront the lord, and they are innocent of death." Jia Xu's face was cold, as if Dong Cheng's lives were not as good as ants in his eyes.
"These people may be as the military advisor said. But what about Lord Zhong's small family, Lord Zhong is loyal to the lord, but he has fallen to such a point, I am afraid that it will chill the hearts of the Cao family and the hearts of the people of the world!! At this time, Liu Ye suddenly shouted. When Jia Xu heard this, he glanced at it silently, and replied unhurriedly: "If the lord condemns Lord Zhong as a traitor and sends someone to arrest him, and Lord Zhong absconds in fear of crime, he will confirm his reputation as a thief." It is actually a thief, my Cao family is the same enemy, as for the thoughts of the people in the world, there are different opinions, who can control it since ancient times? ”
As soon as Jia Xu's voice fell, Liu Ye couldn't help but shudder, shook his head and shouted: "Poison, it's really poison!" Jia Wen and you deserve the name of 'poisoner'! ”
"Thanks to Lord Liu's praise. For the sake of the great cause of the lord, Xu is also a last resort, and please don't mind Lord Liu. In the face of Liu Ye's shouting, Jia Xu seemed determined and flat.
"You!!" When Liu Ye heard this, he was annoyed and was about to have a seizure. At this moment, a sudden angry shout shook, and the hall was shocked in an instant.
"Enough~!!" only listened to Cao Cao's drink, and everyone did not dare to make a sound lightly, and they all reined in. At this time, Cao Cao set his eyes on Zhong Xuan, who had a complicated expression and desolate eyes: "This move is indeed difficult. Yuan Chang but can make its own decisions. In any case, Cao promises that he will never embarrass you again! ”
As soon as Cao Cao's words fell, everyone's expressions changed. At this time, Zhong Xuan's expression was solemn, and he seemed to have made up his mind and said: "Lord Hongen, the minister has nothing to repay, I, Zhong Xuan, am Cao Chen, and the whole family should serve the Cao family and die for the lord, it is my duty, and I am willing to follow the plan of the military advisor!" ”
"Huh... Lord Zhong is loyal and loyal, and I am ashamed. I also hope that the lord will be gracious, and I heard that Lord Zhong has two sons under his knees, the eldest son is only three years old, and the younger son is still in infancy. It's better to let Lord Zhong take it with you, so as not to break the Zhong family. Xun Yu sighed and persuaded Cao Cao with a pleading look on his face. And Jia Xu couldn't help frowning, afraid that this would change. I didn't know that Cao Cao listened, without hesitation, nodded and agreed: "Yes!" ”
When Zhong Yu heard this, he was relieved, and hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him, and at the same time was full of gratitude to Xun Yu.
So two days later, at the beginning of the night, Prime Minister Cao Cao suddenly announced that Zhong Xuan and the general Ma Teng had an affair to rebel, and sent two generals under his command, Zhu Ling and Li Tong, to arrest him. I don't know, Zhong Miao didn't know where he learned about the news, and took his two heirs and fled to the west gate of Luoyang in a carriage. Just two days ago, Zhong Miao went to the house of Captain Changshui to ask for help. Chongji heard that Zhong Xuan had an agreement with the general Ma Teng, and soon Ma Teng was about to lead his troops to King Qin, so he was overjoyed, but he was afraid that Zhong Xuan would deceive, so he was still suspicious. But Zhong Miao said that he was about to face a catastrophe and pleaded for help. Cao Cao had already noticed that Zhong Xiang had rebelled, and Zhong Xiang wanted to flee as soon as possible, so he asked him for help. The series hated Cao Cao deeply, so he secretly agreed, and promised Zhong Xuan, which would not be publicized in advance.
That night, Zhong Xuan only brought one servant and his two children to the west gate of Luoyang in a carriage.
At this time, the people and horses in the city were hissing, and Chongji faintly saw two teams of people and horses in the city rushing to the direction of Zhong Xuan's mansion, so he believed Zhong Xuan and hurriedly ordered someone to open the city gate. As a result, Zhong Xuan was able to escape.
However, early the next morning, Cao Cao, who learned that Zhong Miao had escaped, was furious, and learned from the detailed report that the captain of Changshui had a kind of series, and released Zhong Xuan privately, so he immediately sent someone to arrest him. Chongji didn't know that the matter was discovered by Cao Cao so quickly, and when he was still sleeping in the mansion, he was caught by Cao Hong and his troops.
Immediately afterwards, within about seven or eight days, Uncle Dong Cheng, Shilang Wang Fu, Yilang Wu Shuo, General Wu Zilan, and Taiyi Ji Ping were all arrested by Cao Cao and imprisoned!
Soon, Cao Cao first took the Zhong family to open the knife, and dozens of members of his family, both old and young, were all beheaded.
Subsequently, the matter soon spread to Puyang, Yanzhou. At this time, in the Puyang Palace, everyone was like grasshoppers in a frying pot, so anxious that they seemed to jump up and down. Ma Zongheng's head hurt so much that he was about to twist into a ball, and he couldn't say a word for a long time. At this time, all the important civil and military forces under his command have been prepared, and only Pang De, Feng Ji and other civil and military forces are left in the main hall.
"My lord! This Cao Cao is ruthless, and now the Zhong family has been beheaded (Zhong Xuan later deliberately found two people of the same age as his two children to replace him, so rumors say that no one in the Zhong family can survive except Zhong Xuan), Zhong Xuan's whereabouts are unknown, I am afraid that he went to Chang'an. Moreover, Dong Cheng and other loyal ministers were imprisoned because of this, but if the general learned about it, he would definitely be furious and angry with the lord!! At that time, if Zhong Xuan instigates it next to him, the general will inevitably rush to Luoyang, and the consequences will be unimaginable!! I saw Feng Ji's face full of impatience and reported quickly. Pound immediately persuaded: "Lord Feng is right! Moreover, Cao Cao had already sent his chief general, Cao Ren, to lead tens of thousands of troops to garrison Tongguan in order to prepare for the general's attack on Luoyang. Now that the situation is critical, I think we should also prepare as soon as possible, just in case! ”
only heard Pang De and Feng Ji shouting in the hall, Ma Zongheng's face was tense, and his eyes were full of worry. He was not afraid of a war with Cao Cao, but he was afraid that his father would act rashly and fall for Cao Cao's tricks.
Coupled with Ma Teng's final fate in history, Ma Zongheng was naturally nervous, afraid that because of his mistake, he would harm his father's life.
"Oops~~! I knew this was the case, I shouldn't have let out the news in the first place, but this time I was rebelled by Cao Thief!! Feng Ji saw Ma Zongheng's rare face full of distress and worry, and he couldn't help but shout angrily.
"At this point, it is useless to say such bad things. I only hate the lord's side, and there is no such thing as Boya and the son of the world who can discuss. Otherwise, there may be a turnaround!! Pang De's eyes were tight, his heart was in turmoil, but at this time, he missed Guo Jia incomparably. In the past, whenever he encountered a crisis, Guo Jia smiled faintly, and he could always find a solution with a few words lightly.
also misses Guo Jia very much, and naturally there is Ma Zongheng.
"Feng Xiao! Bong Hyo! How good am I? Ma Zongheng thought in distress in his heart. Suddenly, Ma Zongheng's thoughts flashed, and he suddenly remembered something, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Doesn't the lord have a plan!?" Pound looked overjoyed and couldn't help shouting. Ma Zongheng shook his spirit, although he was not very sure, but he still made a confident look, and said with a smile: "Haha, don't worry about the red ghost." I already know in my heart, at the moment, you first stabilize the deployment of the various armies, and you will prepare various armaments and important things, and the battle between us and the Cao family will be as long as half a year or as short as a few months, and it will inevitably start!! This battle is related to the survival of Yan and Hebei states, and the princes of the neighboring forces may even unite with the Cao family, so there is no room for carelessness!! ”
As soon as Ma Zongheng's words came out, Pang and Feng both showed joy, and hurriedly accepted the order.
When he was young, everyone was ordered to retreat. Ma Zongheng ordered to take the pen, ink, paper and inkstone left and right, and sighed lightly, looking at his expression now, but he was not as confident as Shicai.
It turned out that Ma Zongheng remembered his sister-in-law Huang Yueying and her husband Zhuge Kongming, who is now married. However, he said that not long after Ma Zongheng returned to Yanzhou, Cheng Yu did not dare to hide it, so he bluntly told Ma Zongheng that it was Huang Yueying who designed to save him. But Ma Zongheng is more convinced of this plan, most of Zhuge Kongming's implementation. For this peerless demon known as the 'First Wisdom of the Ages', Ma Zongheng was not sure that he would be able to invite him. But at the moment, the situation is critical, and he can't do anything about it. And the only thing he can rely on is two points, one is Huang Yueying, and the other is the lives of nearly 1.8 million households in Yan and Hebei Prefectures!
