Qin Xu and Guo Jia probably wouldn't have thought that they would have such an unexpected gain in response to Dong Cheng's crooked move against Qin's personal grudges, intending to stir up the water more and "straighten the finger" at Kong Rong, who had already escaped, and Cao **, who seemed to have a discord with Zhang Min and Yu Fang.

And because Qin Xu was attacked before the Son of Heaven was about to greet him with a demotion ceremony, Dong Cheng's words made the courtiers seem to have finally found a breakthrough to vent their emotions, and one by one they were condemning Qin Xu's dereliction of duty and scolding the thief's boldness, but the actual intentions can be seen by fools.

Dong Cheng saw Cao **'s frowning appearance, and the sneer hanging on the corner of his mouth became thicker and thicker. In contrast, a so-called theft of the jade seal of the country by the advisers under Yuan Shu's command with empty white teeth and white teeth, Dong Cheng is of course more inclined to take advantage of the opportunity to suppress Cao **'s forces by appearing to the gods and Buddhas of unknown ways, so as to make it difficult to see if he can use this matter to regain the right to speak from Cao ** as he did in Chang'an, even if it is only a part of the court.

"The intention of the princes in the court, the attack on people from Qingzhou is all because of Cao's fault?" Cao ** squinted his eyes and said coldly.

What kind of character Cao **, as soon as Dong Cheng's words came out, Cao ** saw through Dong Cheng's intentions, not to mention that the courtiers led by Dong Cheng were almost pointing at their noses and scolding. Originally, for these so-called "important ministers of the country", Cao ** still had a little respect for it. After all, Cao ** just wants to be the Duke of Zhou, but he doesn't want to be Wang Mang, these people are okay in the overall situation, and Cao ** doesn't bother to pay attention to it. But he didn't expect that he Cao didn't provoke these people, but he couldn't prepare for this group of important ministers of the court who were panicked like lost dogs in Chang'an, but they were really contaminated with the surname of dogs, and they caught whoever bites whom!

"This ......" Seeing Cao **'s cold eyes, it suddenly made the courtiers who had just looked indignant collectively bow their heads and lose their voices. When the gods fight, it is naturally okay for these people to wave their flags and shout on the side, but if they really want to face each other, to be honest, these important ministers who can survive under the strong pressure of the Xiliang soldiers really don't have the guts. A few bold ones only raised their heads slightly, and looked at Dong Cheng as if asking for help out of the corner of their eyes, and they didn't dare to make a sound, lest they be unlucky to be targeted by Cao ** and the whole family.

"Marquis Wuping is so powerful in front of the Son of Heaven!" Dong Cheng showed a faint sneer, but said in a heartfelt manner: "The princes are just talking about things, and the Son of Heaven is still silent, doesn't Marquis Wu Ping think that he is more noble than the Son of Heaven?" ”

Minister! Minister! scolded the important ministers of the country in front of the Son of Heaven, Cao ** is not a minister, who is it? Dong Cheng didn't even call Cao ** an official position at this time, and his face was pale and he directly called the title. In fact, this is also Dong Cheng's cleverness. In terms of official position, Cao ** is a cavalry general, Yanzhou Mu is more than three ranks higher than Dong Cheng's chariot general's official qualifications, and he is a real power faction, according to the customary rules among Han officials, Dong Cheng scolded Cao ** in this capacity can be detained as the following offender. But the titles are different, unless Cao ** wants to learn Yuan Shu's breakfast, otherwise the two are both marquises, and Dong Cheng also has the title of a national uncle, but at most it can only be regarded as a dispute between colleagues to correct mistakes.

"Humph! Ha ha! Dong Cheqi is right. Let this matter disturb Your Majesty, it is indeed Cao's fault! Cao ** stared at Dong Cheng for a long time, the coldness in his eyes was enough to kill people, just when Dong Cheng couldn't help but want to make another difficulty, Cao ** was the previous ruthless color approached, as if he humbly listened to Dong Cheng's correction, and generously took all the responsibility, and even smiled heartily at Dong Cheng, rushed to the side without interjecting Liu Xie, who couldn't guess what was thinking, bowed and saluted, and said: "Your Majesty, Wuting Hou Xuzhou assassinated Shi Qin in Xuchang City this time, and the minister Cao ** is indeed guilty of failing to clear the thief!" It's just that according to the subordinates of the ministers who traveled with Na Qin, the thieves are all cavalry, with armor, and there is quite a rule between attack and defense, and they are extremely brave, so that even the elite of Qingzhou was taken advantage of by the thieves under the first contact. The minister asked, where can a thief have such riding skills? So equipped? Such combat power? ”

"What does Wu Pinghou mean is that this thief may have been pretended to be by my Han regular army?" When Dong Cheng heard Cao ** say this, a bit of unconcealable ecstasy flashed in his eyes. Regular? The so-called regular army near Xuchang can haunt Xuchang unnoticed, and there can be formed cavalry, in addition to your old Cao's command, where is there a second one? You Cao ** have always been unable to tolerate others, and when you say this by yourself, isn't it just lifting a stone to shoot yourself in the foot?

"Not bad! The elite of Qingzhou soldiers and horses, Cao can be regarded as having seen it! How could an ordinary army be able to easily break through its defenses? Even in the case of a raid. Cao ** did not shy away from saying that he had fought against Qingzhou and was beaten to the ground, as if he was talking about other family affairs at the moment, and there was no psychological pressure at all.

"Ha, it's ridiculous for Marquis Wu Pinghou to speak! At this time, you can still discuss the combat strength of the soldiers between you and Lu Bu without blushing or panting! Do you think what you're doing is so seamless that no one knows? Dong Cheng's excited hands trembled involuntarily. Now in Dong Cheng's opinion, it doesn't matter if the felony was robbed and Qin Xu was seriously injured, not to mention that Yuan Shu was not dead, this rumor was just the words of a strategist under his command who was greedy for life and afraid of death in order to survive, and the credibility was really low. The development of this matter to the current stage has greatly exceeded Dong Cheng's expectations. Others don't know, but Dong Cheng learned something different by chance.

Dong Cheng has a military position, although Xuchang is currently controlled by Cao **, but on the surface, Dong Cheng can still counsel part of the military aircraft, which is also Cao **'s generosity. But Dong Cheng didn't appreciate Cao **'s affection. Out of vigilance against Cao **, the investigation of some news is really sensitive. Some time ago, Dong Cheng accidentally got the news that there had been a transfer of troops and horses in Yanzhou in the direction of Linzi. Originally, Dong Cheng didn't think so, after all, although it was said that Qingyan and the two states were allies, and there was the Son of Heaven in Xuchang, they couldn't fight at leisure, but the two families were wary of each other, but it was a necessary thing, although this kind of mobilization of troops and horses was very weird, but Dong Cheng didn't take it to heart at that time, but it was this soldier who did not receive the armor, and it may be a backhand deliberately arranged by Cao **. But now it seems that the two people who inadvertently revealed the news to him at that time were so consistent with Zhang Min and Yu Fang, the leaders of the so-called rebel army who were arrested outside Linzi City, Qingzhou, in terms of time and place?

In fact, whether this news is really as Dong Cheng "guessed" is not important to Dong Cheng at all. But Cao ** Fangcai's self-binding words made Dong Cheng have great confidence. Dong Cheng, who has not seen Cao **'s fangs, is naturally accustomed to his surname and regards Cao ** as a thief like Dong Zhuo and Li Guo.

Dong Cheng was there when Dong Zhuo was in turmoil, but Dong Zhuo was Dong Cheng's kin, and his relatives were more reliable than anyone else these days. When Li Dao, Guo Yan and other Western Liang soldiers occupied Chang'an, Dong Cheng was also there, but these were originally Dong Zhuo's old subordinates, although Dong Zhuo had died, but after all, the love was still there, and Dong Cheng was still needed to reconcile with the court and the Son of Heaven, so it was not too difficult for Dong Cheng. Therefore, Dong Cheng, who has gone through several ups and downs, now embodies the appearance of a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty everywhere, and in front of Cao **, who has just taken the initiative to thank and ask for sin, his self-confidence is really unprecedentedly inflated.

"What did Cao do? Haha, Cao has done a lot of things, but I don't know which one Dong Cheqi is talking about? I hope to give me advice! The smile on Cao **'s face became more and more intense, and it looked like he was joking with his friends, but if Cao ** saw it, he would be dark, and his own lord was going to kill someone.

"You know what you do!" To be honest, Dong Cheng was actually uncertain about the real surname of the news, and just wanted to use this word to "point" Cao **. The meaning of Dong Cheng's words is very clear, that is, he wants to tell Cao **, you already know all the things Lao Tzu has, and you can get along quickly and softly, otherwise it will not be easy to get along with in the future.

"Humph! What is the danger of adding to the sin? Since Dong Cheqi said this, there is something I want to ask! Dong Cheng has been calling Cao ** the title, but Cao ** also insists on calling Dong Cheng's official position, and he heard the ill-intentioned words in Dong Cheng's words, and the words that seem to want to die with him. Cao ** looked around at almost all the important ministers of the Han Dynasty in front of him, and sighed coldly in his heart Dong Cheng really killed himself, the smile on his face became stronger and stronger, and asked Dong Cheng and said: "A certain Guan Dong Che Rider seems to know the origin of this thief cavalry?" ”

"Humph! Cao Mengde, don't you think that the eyes of the princes of Gon and my Han Shengtianzi are all three-year-old children? Dong Cheng only thought that Cao ** had realized that he had just said the wrong thing, and this was a "remedy" with land and no land, and at that moment there was a sneer on his face, and he said: "Don't say it's Dong, everyone has seen through the wolf ambitions of some people!" ”

"That's great!" Cao ** glanced at the noncommittal Son of Heaven, as well as a group of important ministers of the Han court who were already faintly headed by Dong Cheng, and said slowly: "Speaking of which, Cao Mou is actually also a bitter master, and the eldest son of a certain son, Ang, was also attacked by thieves this time. Since Dong Cheqi knows where the thief is coming, please tell me in detail, and make arrangements in advance to ask for justice for Qin Xu and Qin Zhongming, who were assassinated this time! ”

"Huh? This...... In fact......" Dong Cheng looked at Cao **'s aggressive appearance, and he was also secretly taken aback, he always felt that there seemed to be something omission, but he was disturbed by the ecstasy brought about by Cao **'s words that seemed to expose his feet, and he didn't think about it, but this time he remembered that Cao **'s eldest son was also in the team that came to Xuchang in Qingzhou to sacrifice prisoners? Tiger poison does not eat children, let alone the eldest son, Cao someone's rhetoric on this point alone is enough to be invincible!

"Actually, Dong Cheqi doesn't know where these people are coming from, right?" Cao ** showed a strange smile on his face, and waved his arm behind a group of important ministers of the Han court, and immediately a Cao soldier handed over the package in his hand, the corners of Cao **'s mouth were slightly hooked, and he slowly opened it in front of everyone, and took the things inside to everyone and said: "This is the evidence that my son Cao Ang ordered people to send back quickly, this is my son 'personally' torn off from a thief cavalry who escaped, I don't know if you have any impressions?" ”

"Shhh...... This...... The texture of this fabric is so special, where do you seem to have seen it? ”

"How is that possible...... How could it be them? ””

"This ...... This is the cavalry waist card of the Xiliang Army! The old man will recognize him even if he turns to ashes! ”

As soon as the things in the package appeared, the sounds of surprise, exclamation, and exclamation suddenly filled the court civil and military officials of more than 100 people.

Can you not recognize? The "pillars" of the Han Dynasty here are full of calculations, but they have stayed for nearly five years under the authority of the person who has this waist card and the fragments of clothes!

"Dong Che ride! Master Dong! Uncle Dong Guo! Didn't you know where this group of thieves who dared to attack my big man outside Xuchang City? Don't you know why they broke through a very well-defended army? Let's tell everyone! Cao's voice was filled with an icy chill.

"I ......" was originally from the Xiliang Army, and even after the defeat of the Xiliang Army, Dong Cheng, who still had a good relationship with the lieutenant general of the Xiliang Army, found that he seemed to have fallen into a trap inexplicably.

Dong Cheng was stunned by this sudden appearance, and he didn't know what to say for a while, but the eyes of the important ministers of the court who were faintly headed by him just now had already changed a little...... (To be continued.) )
