Chapter Twenty-Four: Angry Cao Cao

Xuchang, outside the Yan Pavilion, Chen Qun left a little disappointed, today he wanted to redeem himself for the Nighthawk girl, although with his status, the identity of the Nightingale is not to mention the wife, even if it is a concubine, it is impossible, but at least, it should be better than being in the dust, right?

But to Chen Qun's disappointment, the nightingale refused, she didn't need mercy and charity, Chen Qun was not angry, but admired such a strange woman even more. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Identity?

Chen Qun looked up at the sky, the identity of the family was destined to make it impossible for them to have a deeper intersection, and this would not be used in the future after returning to the Yan Pavilion, so as not to be sad.

"Poof~"

A short arrow appeared without warning, and when Chen Qun did not react, it pierced his throat, and the poignant blood suddenly bloomed in the air, and the two soldiers responsible for protecting Chen Qun had no time to react at all, watching Chen Qun maintain a last-minute expression, and just fell straight to the ground, blood stained a large area of the ground red in the screams of passers-by.

"Quick, inform the lord!" With a scream, a large number of soldiers rushed to this side, and the two guards in charge of protecting Chen Qun frantically led people to search around, but there was nothing to gain except for a crossbow that was thrown on the ground.

The crossbow was soon sent to Cao Cao's desk along with the news of Chen Qun's death.

This is Cao Cao's first strategist who died on the assassination with grievances, and it is a strategist that Cao Cao attaches great importance to, Cao Cao's face is pale.

"This kind of crossbow ......" Xun Yu picked up the crossbow that Cao Cao threw on the ground, looked at the crossbow in his hand with a solemn face, and then looked at Cao Cao: "It should have been deliberately dropped by the other party, telling us the identity of the other party." ”

"Lu Bu!" Cao Cao's voice was full of coldness, in fact, when this crossbow was presented to him, he found out that this was Chang'an's military crossbow, which was difficult for ordinary people to obtain.

"I don't rule out the possibility of blame, after all, there is no need for the other party to keep this crossbow at all." Xun Yu sighed, this possibility is not very likely, plus Cao Cao just invited a large number of skilled fighters to Chang'an not long ago, the two things are linked, Lu Bu has every reason to do this kind of thing, after all, this rule was broken by Cao Cao first, Cao Cao didn't expect that in the case of combining Deng Zhan and Shi A, the two great swordsmen, Lu Bu was unscathed, and the counterattack came so quickly and so ruthlessly!

Chen Qun! After Guo Jia and Cheng Yu, Cao Cao was the third strategist planted in the hands of Lu Bu.

"Check! At least find out the murderer for me! Cao Cao said in a deep voice.

"Whoa!" Xun Yu nodded, although he knew that even if he found out, it would be just a few small fish, but if he didn't check it, it would be really difficult to explain to Yingchuan Chen.

However, what Cao Cao and Xun Yu didn't expect was that Chen Qun's death was just the beginning, and in the next three days, Cao Cao's important ministers and generals were served.

Xun Yu was almost bitten to death by a poisonous snake in his room, Xun Yu was eaten the next day, the food was highly poisoned, if it wasn't for a loyal dog to eat Xun Yu's food and die, then Xun Yu may not be spared, Zhong Yu was shot in his mansion, although he was rescued by the guards, but Zhong Yu was also seriously injured, the assassin was surrounded and suppressed by the army that rushed to hear the news with the cooperation of the Zhong family, but there was no one left alive, more than a dozen assassins, killed hundreds of soldiers and then committed suicide.

In addition, Xu Huang, Cao Ren, Xiahoudun, Xiahou Yuan, and Gao Ran were all assassinated, fortunately, these people were accompanied by soldiers and horses on weekdays, and they were not succeeded by the assassins, but even so, Cao Cao was not lightly shocked, not only did the guards of Sikong Mansion increase twice, but also sent a large number of guards around him to protect him day and night.

Three days later, when Cao Cao thought that the assassination turmoil was in the past, and he and Lu Bu were leveled, a more terrifying assassination was carried out throughout Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Qingzhou, and Xuzhou, this time, the other party targeted the grassroots level, and all the county and county orders under Cao Cao were assassinated on the same day, and the mortality rate was as high as ninety percent of the horror, and even many Taishou were assassinated, and the entire Central Plains, the government was almost paralyzed, even if Cao Cao had a strong background, and all of a sudden the grassroots officials were slaughtered, is also busy, constantly sending troops and horses to exterminate these assassins, based on household registration, and constantly forcing these assassins.

This time, almost all the families in the Central Plains joined the crusade, and the behavior of these assassins has panicked the entire family class, and for the first time, the government and the family tacitly cooperated to launch a purge under Cao Cao's rule, uprooting many of the strongholds that Lu Bu and Sun Quan had placed under Cao Cao's rule, and even places like Gui Yan Pavilion were ordered to close, because they were surprised to find that in this wave of assassination frenzy, nearly seventy percent of the assassins who were found out were composed of women, and their methods were extremely ruthless. It made many people panic about women, and at the same time, it was even more confirmed that Lu Bu was the culprit, because only under Lu Bu could there be so many women who were skilled in technical attacks.

Xuzhou, as the largest family in Xuzhou today, the Chen family is undoubtedly the most concerned about this purge of assassins, Xuzhou's officials have been almost paralyzed in the past few days, and what makes Chen Qi even more worried is that in this assassination, the Chen family is obviously the target of the other party, it has only been half a month, nearly half of the children of the Chen family have been assassinated, and the Chen family industry has been attacked indiscriminately by the other party.

"Ahem~" Chen Deng looked at the information in his hand with a pale face, and said bitterly: "I don't want to fail to eradicate the problem of the tiger back then, but now it has brought such a big disaster to my Chen family!" ”

Chen Qi silently threw the information into the brazier, his face ugly: "A reckless man dares to persecute my family like this!" Not for the Son of Man! ”

"Father, it's too late to say anything." Chen Deng shook his head, noncommittal to Chen Qi's words, Lu Bu back then may have been dumb and easy to deal with, but if you look at the current Lu Bu from the perspective of the past, it would be a little arrogant, took a breath, Chen Deng said with a pale face: "Father, for the sake of today, all the disciples in the clan should be recalled, and after these chaotic parties are eliminated, ......"

"Master, childe, no!" A maid stumbled in.

"Bastard! What a system! Chen Qi slapped the table and scolded angrily.

"What the hell is going on?" Chen Deng stopped Chen Qi's anger, looked at the maid and said, "Speak clearly." ”

"Madame...... There are also two sons, poisoned to death! The maid looked at the two of them in a daze and muttered.

"What!?" Chen Qi's face instantly turned pale when he heard this, Chen Deng's two sons, which were the roots of the Chen family's lineage, were now ......

"Puff~"

At the moment when Chen Qi lost his mind, a dagger came out of Chen Deng's throat, Chen Qi suddenly turned around, but saw the maid who had stumbled in just now, and at some point got behind Chen Deng, holding a short sword in his hand, and in Chen Deng's stunned gaze, a sword pierced his throat.

"You ......" Chen Qi looked at his son, and for a while, his brain went blank.

"The lord wants to see you, come with me!" The expression on the maid's face at the moment was cold and terrible, before Chen Jue reacted, he was stunned with a palm, two family members came in, directly loaded Chen Jue with a sack, and walked towards the door, the huge Chen Mansion, silent, there was no sound, a group of three people, just so grandly out of the Chen Mansion, loaded the sack on a car that had been prepared, with the token of the Chen Mansion, and easily left Xuzhou, until the next day, the news of the slaughter of the Chen family was discovered, which is since the beginning of the assassination activities, The first family to be uprooted, as the news spread, caused even more panic.

A vigorous purge lasted for three months before it gradually calmed down.

In March, it is the season of spring flowers, but in Cao Cao's Sikong Mansion, the atmosphere is cold and terrible.

"Brother Mengde, any game has its rules, war is like this, politics is the same, a precedent is set, the consequences can be borne by yourself, this time it is just a warning, a small punishment and a big commandment, if you use this kind of means again, don't blame me for letting you ......" In the hall, a small official read a letter loudly, the letter is not long, it was nailed to the lintel of Sikong Mansion with an arrow in the morning, the little official read and read, there was no sound, and he looked at Cao Cao in fear.

"Read!" Cao Cao said with a gloomy face, his voice was cold, and he couldn't hear joy or anger.

"Cut off the son and grandson, in addition, I don't actually have any evidence to prove that the assassination that happened outside the Hussar Mansion was done by you, but the princes of the Central Plains, someone needs to bear my anger, Liu Zhang is weak, cleaning him up will make people despise me, the civil strife in Jingzhou will make people doubt my wisdom, Jiangdong Sun has just reached a trade with me, calculate it, only Brother Meng De is suitable to vent, and the Chen family has a grudge against me, Brother Meng De knows this, this time by the way, let Chen Jue Lao'er go to Chang'an for trial, if you wronged Brother Meng De, Wait for me to put incense on those who died in vain, and apologize, it's not their fault, it's just that I'm in a bad mood and want to kill people, but I can't kill my own people, so I can only wronged them, and I took Jizhou, Brother Meng De should go back to the Central Plains, Jizhou is not suitable for you......"

"Lu Fengxian!" Cao Cao suddenly pulled out the saber at his waist, and with a sword, he cut the table in front of him in two, and his eyes turned red.

"Lord, rest your anger!" Xun Yu stood up, bowed to Cao Cao and said, "Lu Bu's letter is obviously to provoke the lord. ”

"I know!" Cao Cao snatched the letter from the little official's hand, tore it to pieces frantically, and laughed: "We made a move, and people exchanged it in a way ten times more ruthless than us, and we can't blame him from the beginning!" I have no reason to be angry! ”

"The lord is wise!" Xun Yu smiled bitterly and bowed.

"But I also want to kill now, who told me to kill!" Cao Cao threw his sword on the ground and roared angrily. (To be continued.) )
