Although Yingchuan County in Yuzhou is adjacent to Nanyang County, there will inevitably be no Xiliang soldiers in the county.

The reason is very simple, firstly, Nanyang County, which is entrenched by the two thieves of Li Dao and Guo Yan, Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu's uncle and nephew, has Liu Biao in the south and Liu Zhang in the west.

After the Son of Heaven drove Xuchang, Cao Cao shifted the focus of his Yanzhou politics and military power to this. In order to ensure safety, almost more than half of Cao's army was gathered. The generals of the Xiliang Army are not fools, after the incident in Chang'an, their own vitality has been injured, and the morale of the soldiers has been sluggish. If it weren't for the previous great drought and natural disasters, the exhaustion of the troops of the Central Plains, and the incident of Yuan Shu, all the forces are now mainly cultivating troops, which left Nanyang with a little respite.

It can be said that if Cao Cao doesn't take Nanyang now, these people are already burning high incense, how can they take the initiative to provoke Cao Cao and kill themselves?

However, there will inevitably be Xiliang cavalry in Yingchuan County! There is no doubt about that. Because just when Qin Xu's army was resting on the spot and preparing to recuperate enough to enter Xuchang to offer prisoners to the Son of Heaven, suddenly when the armies were asleep, they were attacked by a cavalry of unknown origin at night.

These men were menacing, and although there were not many soldiers, it was "said" that the soldiers were all strong and brave; The skill of controlling horses is extremely skillful, and it is by no means comparable to the cavalry put together in the Central Plains. In addition, it was a sudden night attack, and he didn't get the slightest reward from Tanma before, but he took advantage of the night to break Qin Xu's military camp.

Although these people were quickly repelled by the elite soldiers who relied on the quick reaction and Cao Ang's guards, they found that they were the "key criminals" of the court who were surrounded by the strict court, and the rest of the people were taken advantage of the trapping soldiers to rise up to "kill the enemy". The cold man was robbed, and only Yuan Tan, the son of Yuan Shu, who had been in the camp first, and Zhang Min, the rebel general of Xuzhou, were still there. Just go to the camp first for this kind of reaction speed, which is carefully selected. The hundred "rebel" thieves with ugly faces and who looked by no means good at a glance were also killed by the sudden thief. And it is said that even Qin Xu, who led the Qingzhou sacrifice of prisoners, actually hung up in the chaos of the army, "it is said" that without investigation, one of the attacking thieves rubbed his back with a hammer and vomited several liters of blood. Immediately unconscious, life and death do not know...... Yunyun

A series of "supposedly", "probably", "maybe", this is of course intended to start as soon as possible. led the courtiers out of Xuchang for ten miles, and greeted "Qin Xu" with the highest treatment of demotion ceremony, but at this moment, the stunned young son of heaven Liu Xie and a group of reluctant courtiers said the news.

"This ...... What's going on? How could there be such a murderer on the side of the capital? Liu Xie was really angry this time. But I also felt a little scared.

Not to mention Yingchuan County, where Xuchang is located. It was originally very close to Nanyang, which was entrenched by the Xiliang soldiers, and Liu Xie was a little scared when he thought about it now after he agreed to come here after he got out of the hands of the thieves. These thieves who don't know where they came from actually have formed cavalry, and they dare not to give him Liu Xie and Cao Cao face outside Xuchang, "sneak attack" on high-ranking officials in the court, and "rob" the court repeat offenders, which is simply arrogant. And what's even more ridiculous is that things all went on overnight. If it weren't for the news from the Prisoner Mission, such a large group of courtiers and generals. I don't know one?

Liu Xie's face turned cold, and he subconsciously looked directly at Cao Cao, who was standing beside him with narrow eyes and didn't know what he was thinking, as if he wanted to hold him accountable, but when he saw Cao Cao's glance at him, he was stunned, and lowered his voice and asked, "Cao Qing, ......what is this?" What should I do? ”

Liu Xie really wanted to ask Cao Cao who swore that he wanted to protect the Son of Heaven at the beginning, why there was such a very arrogant thing around Xuchang, but when the words came to his mouth, Liu Xie suddenly changed his tone. Cao Cao's eyes just now looked too much like someone, just like when that person stood under the jade steps after being ordered by Emperor Xian to put Liu Xie on the throne, he looked at Liu Xie's gaze. Liu Xie, who has experienced too much over the years, doesn't know the meaning of this gaze, and he doesn't want to know, but the only thing that Liu Xie remembers is that the person who also looked at himself with this kind of gaze has finally died at the hands of Lu Bu because of bad intentions, and has been nailed to the name of a national thief for generations. Liu Xie didn't know if the horseman general in front of him, who usually gave himself face, would eventually become like that, but this look made Liu Xie unconsciously retreat.

"His Majesty Lao inquired, and the ministers were terrified! It's just that this matter came suddenly, and there were too many implications in the middle. The minister must be carefully examined before he can return to His Majesty! Seeing that Liu Xie's face was full of anger, as if he wanted to hold himself accountable, but for some reason, he asked such a sentence. Cao Cao's face changed slightly, and a thick look of disappointment flashed in his eyes. Cao Cao, as a Hanchen, actually hoped in his heart that Liu Xie would boldly say a few words of accountability for this matter. After all, this big Han world really needs a strong man who can hold the small night. Cao Cao is indeed ambitious, but what Cao Cao wanted to do was Duke Zhou, not Wang Mang. Seeing that the Son of Heaven was afraid of even the eyes of his subordinates who had the merit of saving the driver, as if the elite soldiers had lost their fighting spirit, and the previous image of the saint who dared to ask Dong Zhuo "hijack the car or save the car" was far away, Cao Cao still felt a little lost in his heart after all. What's more, if the Son of Heaven has been in the hands of thieves for a few years, it is okay if his heart is a little biased, and he can still hold up as the master with careful assistance. It's just that in this court, not everyone understands his Cao Cao's thoughts. Cao Cao's gaze involuntarily looked at Dong Cheng, the uncle on the other side of the Son of Heaven, who was sneering slightly at the corner of his mouth.

"Your Majesty! Qingzhou prisoner envoy was attacked, escorted felons and robbed, the minister thought that His Majesty should immediately issue an order to apply for accountability, and together with the accountability of Wuting Hou Qin's careless crime! Dong Cheng seemed to notice Cao Cao's eyes, and the angle of the corners of his mouth became wider and wider.

Whether Qin Xu was attacked or not, whether he was seriously injured or not, Dong Cheng actually didn't care, he wished that someone Qin really died in the chaos, and he could save a lot of effort. What Dong Cheng really cares about is the true purpose of the so-called thief cavalry as speculated in the news. Just to rob people? Just kidding, a three-year-old can't fool a three-year-old child. Since the day Qin Xu opened from Linzi, there were wilderness along the way, since he could come and go without a trace around the heavily guarded Xuchang, why did he take such a big risk? This doesn't make sense!

However, Dong Cheng's speculation on this matter really didn't suspect Qin Xu and Guo Jia. If the jade seal of the country is really as rumored, it was stolen from Yuan Shu by the pottery merchant. In addition to proving that the rumors of the whereabouts of the artifact are really true, it is also extremely easy to be thought of whether it may have been obtained by Lu Bu, but it is just that Sun Jian and Yuan Shu are generally unwilling to dedicate it to the imperial court.

It's good to say that everyone knows their own thoughts, and even if they know about this matter, they will hide it and tacit it to each other. Although Dong Cheng resented Qin Xu, wishing that Qin Xu and Na Lu Bu were also in a situation where they were enemies on all sides, he never thought that Qin Xu was a fool and would "betray" his hole cards.

What's more, just before, Dong Cheng had just "praised" Qin Xu in disguise in front of the Son of Heaven, with a blatant intention to kill. It's only been a few hours now, and Qin Xu has this incident, and he was seriously injured by a group of thieves of unknown origin? Although Dong Cheng's previous plan failed, it could be regarded as achieving the initial goal of reducing Qin Xu's status in the heart of the Son of Heaven.

Therefore, although Dong Cheng even said that Qin Xu would be held accountable for his dereliction of responsibility, the most important thing was to seize this rare opportunity and target the so-called "Yousi".

What is a division? That is, even after another 1,800 years, it is an extremely mysterious related department......

However, in Xuchang, an acre and a third of land, there are actually only a few yamen that can be called "Yousi", but they have almost been controlled by Cao Cao, and the titles of many courtiers who followed the suffering of the Son of Heaven have long been hollowed out by Cao Cao's subordinates, and they only bear the name of a high-ranking official on the surface, and some don't even know where to open the office yamen door under their nominal rule, and they don't care about the real power. At the moment, he was ready to deal with Qin Xu, but unexpectedly, such a good opportunity suddenly appeared, Dong Cheng only felt a feeling of pie falling from the sky. Qin Xu is a vertical son, he is just a personal enmity with himself, or a foreign minister, and what can he do for a few days? And Cao Cao's various actions are a big problem in Dong Cheng's eyes, which is becoming more and more powerful ministers who control the Son of Heaven. Which is more important, Dong Cheng thinks that he is still clear.

If you don't take advantage of this rare opportunity to suppress Cao Cao, you really can't stand Qin Someone's busy work.

"Yes, Your Majesty! Uncle Guo is right! Wu Tinghou was derelict in his duties, but he was seriously injured as a thief, and this incident happened near the left side of the capital, which is still excusable, and it is advisable to delay the discussion. But this time the thief was so bold that he dared to openly attack the foreign envoys on the side of the capital, and Xuchang Yousi was really to blame! ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers seconded the ......"

"Your Majesty, the guards of Xuchang are so erosive, if they don't rectify it much, where will the safety of the Son of Heaven be placed?"

“……”

can be mixed in the Han court until now, nothing else may work, but this political ability is perfect. Although Dong Cheng's personality is inconvenient for these people to be affected by the identity of his uncle, this time Dong Cheng is obviously seeking "welfare" for everyone, which quickly resonated with the courtiers who were already full of bitterness.

Cao Cao looked at these courtiers in amazement, "Why can't you do it, why don't you eat enough", originally discussing Qin Xu's attack by thieves and the loss of the recidivism of the court, how to turn around, after these people pulled the blame, the spearhead finally pointed at himself? What's going on?

Cao Cao's face darkened a little...... (To be continued......)
