Seventy-five: A desperate plan
After Emperor Xian agreed, Cao Zhang told Emperor Xian according to Guo Jia's rhetoric, and later summoned Liu, Guan, and Zhang to a palace in the Jianshi Palace, and then ambushed and killed by Cao Anmin, and the palace guards in the north and south palaces added up to 2,000 people, all of whom were carefully selected by the Cao army, and Cao Anmin only needed to mobilize 500 people, Liu, Guan, and Zhang had no armor and weapons, and there was no possibility of survival.

After the matter was completed, Cao Zhang suggested that Emperor Xian immediately recruit Xun Yu, who was entrusted by Cao Cao with the important task of Shangshu, into the palace, saying that Liu Bei intended to assassinate and had been ambushed, and that the crime of killing the monarch should be punished by the nine clans, and Emperor Xian could issue an edict to let Xun Yu send people to arrest Liu, Guan, and Zhang.
Then Emperor Xian summoned the ministers, Liu, Guan, and Zhang were resentful because Emperor Xian did not let Liu Bei recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, and he brought a sword to assassinate him when he asked to see him.
Emperor Xian was determined to kill Liu Bei and the others, so he naturally listened to Cao Zhangyan, and after the discussion, Cao Zhang's farewell to Emperor Xian left the Jianshi Palace, and at the same time, he also sent a message on behalf of Emperor Xian to summon Cao Anmin, and after doing this, Cao Zhangcai and Xiahou Ba left in a carriage.
In the car, Xiahou Ba asked: "Third Prince, can it really be useful to slander Zhang Fei and my sister's reputation so badly to the Holy Lord?" ā
Cao Zhang said with a smile: "I will know the result today, Brother Xiahou, don't mention what we talked to the emperor today, if someone asks, you just say that I will recommend you to the saint as a close attendant!" ā
Xiahou Ba replied: "Don't worry, the third son, Ba will definitely keep his mouth shut." ā
After that, Cao Zhang returned to the house to study behind closed doors and waited for the development of the situation.
After noon, Xu Ducheng suddenly appeared in Xu Chu's two thousand Tiger Guards and began to arrest Liu Bei's relatives, but Liu Bei's family had just escaped from Lu Bu's control and fell into the hands of the Tiger Guards.
After all this is completed, the emperor issued an order: Liu Bei attempted to pretend to be a relative of the Han family, held a grudge, and teamed up with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to assassinate the Son of Heaven.
The next thing is clear, the Tiger Guard Army under the leadership of Xu Chu killed all Liu Bei's relatives in Xu Du, in addition to Liu Bei's wife Mrs. Gan and Mrs. Elk, there are also Mrs. Elk's two brothers, Elk Zhu and Elkfang, and in an instant, Liu Bei's already weak power was completely eradicated, and he was also saddled with the name of killing the king.
Although there are many discerning people who can see that they are planting blame, but the Son of Heaven himself said that they killed the king, and the 'human and material evidence' is there, and everyone has nothing to say, as for the people of the world, they will naturally believe what the emperor said, so Guo Jia's plan to destroy Liu was implemented very successfully.
Cao Zhang did not regret that he could not see Liu, Guan, Zhang, and the three of them who were famous in later generations, if he missed such a good opportunity just to see his demeanor, then he Cao Zhang would regret it for the rest of his life! And Cao Zhang felt that there were countless strong enemies in troubled times, even if there were three less, he was afraid that the road ahead was also thorny step by step, in the past in Wancheng, Cao Zhang thought he had seen through Jia Xu's strategy, but Cao Jun still suffered heavy losses, Cao Ang still died, which greatly enhanced Cao Zhang's sense of self-crisis, so Cao Zhang felt that potential enemies should be killed if they have a chance, and they should be killed if they have no chance to create an opportunity, especially when they are not successful.
Liu Bei was still just a down-and-out hero at this time, and his death had not provoked much reaction outside of Xu Du, and for Cao Zhang, this was the best result.
For Cao Zhang, who is accustomed to flushing toilets, the thatched hut is one of the things that he has difficulty adapting to, wiping his buttocks with silk every time he finishes his work, instead of using the toilet (a soft wood or bamboo chip) that people are used to in ancient times, and Cao Zhang will inevitably bathe and change clothes when he is done. This habit made Cao Pi and Cao Zhi learn a lot.
After Cao Zhang's bath, he returned to his yard but saw Cao Pi staying in his room, and after entering the house, Cao Zhangqi said, "Huh? Brother is so excited today? Isn't it time to read "Zheng Jian" in the room? Why did you get to my room? As everyone got older, Cao Zhang also began to change his name for Cao Pi, because it was still very rude to call him by his first name, especially now that everyone was getting older.
Cao Pi smiled: "Hey! Today is wonderful! Before noon, Mr. Xun Yu was lecturing to his brother and the fourth brother, and suddenly Brother An came to find Mr., and then Mr. hurriedly explained two sentences and left, but not long after, Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, Guan Yu killed the king and was punished by the nine clans, and the matter of Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, and Guan Yu killing the nine clans suddenly spread all over Xudu, and everyone was talking about it in the streets~! Now Cao Pi is 11 years old, quite sensible, and has begun to care about some current affairs.
"Oh? What's going on? Cao Zhang asked casually.
"Third brother, you have been marching with your father all the year round, so naturally you don't know about such things, most people are saying that Liu Bei didn't get the recognition of his identity as a 'Han clan relative' from the court, so he assassinated his two brothers, hey! This man is so bold that if the Holy One does not recognize him as a relative, he will assassinate him! Cao Pi was full of interest.
Cao Zhang smiled: "Oh, this person is really bold, but he also took advantage of his father's absence in Xu Du to have this courage, right?" Cao Zhang smiled secretly, it seems that public opinion is still tilted to the side that is not favorable to Liu Bei, it is no wonder, Dong Cheng thought that he could rely on Liu Bei, the hero of the end of the road, to compete with Cao Cao, who knew that Emperor Xian did not recognize this relative, and he was clumsy, many scholars and doctors thought that Liu Bei was raising his own worth, and now he can only be said to deserve to die.
Cao Pi heard Cao Zhang mention Cao Cao, and suddenly smiled mysteriously: "Hehe! Do you know what my father is doing when he goes to find his aunt? ā
Cao Zhangqi said: "What to do?" Isn't it just to coax the eldest mother and let her go home? ā
Cao Pi smiled and said: "Third brother, you don't know, in fact, this Cao Xian is not our eldest sister!" We also have an older sister, born to the mother of the deceased brother, because my father had no choice but to do so, so she has been fostered in the eldest mother's maiden home, and my father went to pick her up! You also saw that when the deceased brother died, the eldest mother was so annoyed with her father, how could she go home! ā
"Oh? Do we have a sister? What's the name" Cao Zhangqi said, and Cao Ang's mother, who was the daughter of Cao Cao's wife Mrs. Liu, who died early.
Cao Pi said: "I heard that the nurse before I was my brother said, it seems to be called Cao Ying." ā
"Well, my brother is so concerned? Could it be ... Is it a beauty? Cao Zhang smiled.
Cao Pi sneered: "This eldest sister is 15 this year, how can she know that Yan Yuan is beautiful and ugly because she has never met her brother?" ā
"Then the brother came to me proudly, what are you doing here?" Cao Zhang asked.
Cao Pi suddenly approached Cao Zhang mysteriously and said, "Brother Xian, didn't you notice that our sisters were all brought back from outside by their fathers? Cao Xian, Cao Jie, Cao Hua, and then Cao Ying, for my brother I am curious, how many sisters are there in this world? ā
Cao Zhang smiled dumbly, and found that Cao Pi was still very cute, and he loved to use his brain, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid my brother is going to ask my father!" ā
Cao Pi said hesitantly: "Then forget it, for the brother, that is, to talk casually with the virtuous brother." Then the two chatted for a while, and then Cao Pi left.
