Liu Shuang and Chen Wu returned to Yang Xiu's house almost at the same time.

Neither of them took the main entrance, and the paths they took to enter the house were different.

But they met unexpectedly outside the house where they lived.

Seeing each other, the two laughed.

"General Liu, count your luck this time and save a thousand copper coins." Chen Wu said to Liu Shuang: "If I hadn't delayed Chen Qun for a while, you would have to spend a lot of copper money this time." ”

"I didn't delay anything." Liu Shuang pursed his lips: "But those two families live too far away, and they took a long time to arrive." Did General Chen choose his assassination targets and know their whereabouts beforehand? Why else would I have chosen those two? ”

"Speaking of which, it's not like you didn't give me a thousand hangings." Chen Wu pursed his lips: "Let's go back to the room!" ”

The two went back to their rooms and told each other about the assassination.

Chen Wu was talking about the process of killing Chen Qun, and Yang Xiu came to the door: "Dare to ask if the two generals have come back?" ”

"We're back." Chen Wu replied: "Yang Gong, please come in." ”

The door opened, and Yang Xiu walked in.

Seeing Chen Wu and Liu Shuang, he asked, "Have the two generals done everything?" ”

"That's it." Chen Wu asked, "How is General Zhang?" ”

"General Zhang has also made a move." Yang Xiu replied: "The palace guards barely resisted before they were subdued by the Tiger Guards, and now Cao Pi is trapped in the palace and will be captured alive at any time. ”

"Has Yang Gong confessed that he must capture Cao Pi alive?" Chen Wu asked.

"It's been explained, but I don't know if Cao Pi will commit suicide." Yang Xiu replied: "If I were him, I would definitely not give the Tiger Guards a chance to capture them alive." ”

"Cao Pi is not Yang Gong after all, he and the lord are brothers, how can he be willing to die if he is lucky?" Chen Wu said: "The lord has long expected that he can be captured alive. ”

"Won't the lord spare him?" Yang Xiu was stunned: "If you spare him, you will definitely cause countless troubles to the lord in the future." ”

"How could the lord give him a chance to live?" Chen Wu shook his head: "Actually, Yang Gongda doesn't have to worry, Cao Zihuan has done so many things, in fact, he is already certain to die." Although he wants to live, I'm afraid the lord won't let him have another chance to live this time! ”

Yang Xiu nodded: "The lord has always been too kind to him......"

"And what's the solution?" Liu Shuang pursed his lips: "When Cao Gong was still alive, the lord couldn't kill Cao Zihuan at that time, so that Cao Gong thought that he would not hesitate to kill each other for the sake of power?" ”

"In fact, when Yecheng was in the beginning, the lord didn't have to withdraw at all." Yang Xiu said: "If Cao Zihuan is not allowed to succeed at that time, maybe he can still leave a way for him to live......

Speaking of this, Yang Xiu suddenly closed his mouth.

He suddenly thought of a possibility!

Cao Pi had killed Cao Chong, and Cao Chong had already committed suicide to Cao Shuo at that time......

Could it be that Cao Shuo deliberately ceded Yecheng to him, so as to obtain the various places that he had gained.

When the tax revenues and finances of various places are stable, and the soldiers have been given enough rest, they can further regain everything he had deliberately let out.

And the fundamental purpose of doing all this is to kill Cao Pi!

Cao Pi once did cannibalism, but Cao Shuo couldn't tolerate him for a long time, and what he wanted was just a high-sounding excuse to kill him.

At the beginning, he gave up Yecheng in order to kill Cao Pi today......

Yang Xiu felt a chill down his spine.

He has always thought that Cao Shuo is a gentle lord, and he treats his brothers with affection and righteousness, and he is even worried that Cao Shuo will spare Cao Pi because he can't bear it.

But when you think about it, it doesn't seem to be like that at all.

If it weren't for Cao Shuo's thinking about killing Cao Pi from the beginning, with the difference in strength between the two brothers, it would be impossible for the Cao family to be divided into two branches, and Cao Pi would not have had a chance to ascend to the throne.

Everything was actually planned by Cao Shuo in secret.

Cao Pi is just an outcast he must eradicate......

After thinking about everything, Yang Xiu didn't dare to say it.

At the beginning, he offended Cao Cao because of his open-mouthedness, and he almost lost his head.

If it weren't for Cao De's early life, and Cao Shuo was still mediating from it, I don't know when he would have become a dry bone in the grave.

Cao Shuo was kind to him, and in these days under Cao Pi, he was worried every day.

There is not a lot of contact with Cao Shuo.

Thinking about this, Yang Xiu said that he was not worried.

The only option he had was to keep his mouth shut.

Although he is a madman, Yang Xiu is not a brainless person.

In the past, he dared to speak openly in front of Cao Cao, it was because he was familiar with Cao Cao and believed that Cao Cao would not kill him easily.

And Cao Shuo's temper, he didn't know it at all.

Now that he has figured out a little more and recognized that Cao Shuo is a person who can even calculate his own brother, how can Yang Xiu not be afraid of him?

Seeing something from Yang Xiu's face, Chen Wu said: "Yang Gong does his best to do things for the lord, and the lord will definitely not treat you badly in the future." Cao Zihuan must die because he is too unscrupulous to do things, and even kills his own brothers, if the lord keeps him, sooner or later it will be a disaster. Didn't Yang Gong think that the lord should kill him just now? ”

Yang Xiu responded: "What General Chen said is that I do think so. ”

But he didn't think exactly that.

He really thought that Cao Pi should be killed, but Cao Shuo went around in such a big circle in order to kill Cao Pi, but it made people break out in a cold sweat on their backs.

Yang Xiu came to see Chen Wu and Liu Shuang, and Zhang Hezheng led the Tiger Guard Legion to besiege the palace.

In addition to the Tiger Guards inside and outside the palace, there are also Tiger Guards running back and forth above and below the city walls.

The soldiers who had been guarding the city wall squatted on the ground one by one with their heads in their hands.

They put their weapons in front of them, and the Tiger Guards who walked in front of them would pick them up.

Zhang He led the main force of the Tiger Guards to surround the palace, and it was Le Jin who was responsible for collecting the weapons of the soldiers defending the city.

At the beginning, Lejin led his troops to fight Cao Shuo, but he gave up advancing halfway.

Cao Pi didn't notice anything wrong at that time.

It's too late to figure out why.

Standing on the city wall, Le Jin shouted to the soldiers of the Tiger Guard: "It's all your own family, those who put down their weapons will be imprisoned first, and when the eldest son enters Luoyang, let the eldest son fall." ”

"Get up!" A group of Tiger Guards walked up to the soldiers crouching on the walls and drove them away from the city.

"General!" Le Jin was watching the Tiger Guards escort the captives away, and a soldier ran up to him: "The inside and outside of Luoyang City have all been controlled by us. ”

"Order the soldiers, all the subordinates of Chen Qun and others will be confiscated and detained." Le Jin instructed: "But don't make a mistake when the eldest son comes." ”
