As the temporary capital of the Han Dynasty, the city of Xuchang was full of the eyes and ears of various forces. Anything that happens will often be known to the whole world within ten days. As for the rebellion of Cao Jun's recruits, almost anyone with a little brain will scoff at it.

Without him, it's just a coincidence. Cao Cao had just been "bullied" miserably, and left Xuchang gloomily to engage in mediation to avoid embarrassment. As soon as the front foot walked, the back foot had something like that. And as the news gradually became clear, the identities of the courtiers who were slaughtered by the rebels were also exposed, and they were the ones who were at the forefront of the trampling of Cao Cao some time ago. The fact that there were 37 people who slandered Cao Cao and that there were 37 houses slaughtered by the rebels is completely disdainful of concealment, all of which illustrate the hidden meaning behind this so-called "rebellion."

Cao Cao, this is revenge not overnight!

However, although the nature of this matter is extremely bad, at best, it is simply unseemly, but this time Cao Jun's actions are not like the two thieves Dong Zhuo, Li Dao, and Guo Yan who slaughtered the courtiers before and caused the world to attack him. Even the various forces that not only got the exact news remained silent, but even Liu Xie, the big man who was so frightened that he peed his pants that night, did not say a word. On the contrary, it was as if he did not want to talk about it again.

It is understandable that the foreign minister remained silent. After all, Cao Cao picked himself very cleanly, except for the so-called "rebels" from the Cao family, he was not involved in any right and wrong at all. And when this happened, Cao Cao had already left Xuchang for two days. Even if he can say that Cao Cao can remotely control the development of the gaffe, he can't stand Cao Cao's words. Lao Cao was scolded by these people for no reason for a month and didn't return the favor, and he didn't know these little shrimps whose identities were almost worlds apart. even "hid" out for the sake of the stability of the Han Society, and even did this and put a basin on his head, which was not authentic. Besides. Which faction has never been a rebel? is the world-famous Danyang elite soldiers, didn't they also make trouble on the eve of the previous crusade against Yuan Shu, a national thief. There is such a thing in the name of Lu Bu, the world's first fierce general, and the "newly recruited" soldiers of the Cao clan in Xuchang are not allowed to be naughty once? Even if the people slaughtered are too consistent with the so-called "blacklist" people, is it possible that there is no room for coincidence in this world? Almost all of them wanted to see how the Han Emperor who had just changed the Yuan Xingping would deal with this matter, so they also rarely "tolerate" this trespass and remained silent.

But Liu Xie, the son of heaven, also did not speak. It's a little intriguing. Just as there are no secrets in Xuchang City, there will be no secrets in the most heavily guarded palace. Especially in this less than a year after coming to Xuchang. Even the palace complex built in imitation of the former imperial palace in Luoyang is only half completed, and the palace maids are all newly recruited, let alone any secrecy. After Liu Xie, the son of heaven, urgently summoned his uncle Dong Cheng, there was no follow-up, and it was not long after. It was spread along with the anecdote that he was scared to pee his pants that day. For a while, it was noisy in the market. And the people of Xuchang, who have regarded this matter as a joke and invisibly made the balance in their hearts more inclined to Cao Cao, must have heard that the more outrageous the courtiers heard about this matter, they were embarrassed but helpless, and only sighed that there were thirty-seven fewer "loyal" people in the Han Dynasty, and they were also a little more worried about the future of the Han Dynasty.

However, these have nothing to do with Cheng Yu, the initiator. On the second day of the bloodshed, the more than 1,000 people who were still killing in Xuchang City the night before changed their outfits. played the banner of tiger and leopard riding, under the leadership of Cheng Yu, the general of the Fu army. In the future, there was chaos, and I was afraid that there would be people in front of me who would fish in troubled waters, so I was ordered to rush to guard Cao Cao, and by the way, I informed Cao Cao of this matter and asked for his ruling, and swaggered out of the city to the north, except for the Cao clan forces who were sent off at the gate of the city, and now Shang Shu Ling Xun Yu's eyes were inexplicably deep for a moment, and no one suspected that these people were the executioners that night. What's more, there are several family members and soldiers who were lucky enough to slip away from the thirty-seven families, and at this moment, some people even jumped out, shouting that they would go to see Cao Cao with Cheng Yu and "beg for justice", and there was a momentum that could not be stopped, which made the inexplicable meaning in Xun Yu's eyes even stronger.

"Zhongming, what do you think about Xuchang?" Just when almost all the people who knew about this were waiting to see what the outcome would be when Cao Cao, who was called the most loyal minister of the Han Dynasty by the Son of Heaven, fought with the Son of Heaven, in the mansion of the Hussar General in Linzi City, General Lu asked Qin Xu, who was giving Lu Lingqi minced meat, at a family banquet.

"Huh? What do you think? Cao Cao Bacheng was testing the bottom line of the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven didn't want to see if Cao Cao wanted to step back into the Dong ...... The old way of the two thieves of Taishi and Li Guo. The left and right are idle and fine, just suspicious of each other, nothing to see. "There is absolutely no harm in being kind to your wife in front of your father-in-law. I didn't see that although Yan was scolding Lu Lingqi for not knowing how to respect her husband so much, she actually asked Qin Xu to share food with her, but the smile lines in the corners of her eyes were much deeper with the naked eye. As for Lu Bu's questioning, he knew that in this hall, Yan's status was the first, Lu Lingqi was second, and Diao Chan was third, maybe his precious son-in-law had to be ranked fourth, and Lu Wenhou, the world's number one fierce general in the world, could only rank fifth with Mrs. Cao's Qin, and he didn't have the same respect and pat the horse from time to time in front of people, and he didn't raise his head and said indifferently.

"Then according to what you say, doesn't Cao Cao really want to be a figure like Li Dao and Guo Yan?" Lu Bu, who was about to change his face about Qin Xu's casual tone, could only clench his fists speechlessly when he saw the appearance of his own wife and daughter besides himself, secretly made a gesture of intimidation, and asked in a deep voice.

"Cao Cao can't be Dong Zhuo, and Li Guo's two thieves can't compare to Cao Cao!" Qin Xu smiled and moved Lu Bu to arch his hand, and gave Lu Lingqi another cup of meat soup under Yan's satisfied gaze, before he said with a smile: "Cao Cao is borrowing the Son of Heaven to become famous, if the quarrel with the Son of Heaven is too stiff, it is tantamount to digging his own grave." Cao Mengde's character is not good, but if he picks up a plot and says something rebellious, I am afraid that the Son of Heaven and a group of courtiers will not be his opponents, therefore. Definitely won't get too stiff with the Son of Heaven. It can be seen from his move to leave Xuchang first to avoid suspicion that the current Cao Cao still cares a little about the opinion of the Son of Heaven. And. This incident in Xuchang was not planned by Cao Cao, but someone misestimated the form and gave Cao Cao an excellent excuse for his prestige, plus the Son of Heaven still needs to rely on Cao Cao in many ways, and most of them will turn a blind eye to Cao Cao's actions of 'venting' for the Lord. The end of the matter. Under the restraint of the two sides, the worst is just a mess between the two sides. In addition to letting people from other forces see clearly the weak and deceitful nature of the Son of Heaven, as well as Cao Cao's character of retribution. None of them are winners. However, Cao Cao seems to have deliberately taken advantage of the situation this time, after all, in terms of his actions, he has the intention of making up for some benefits in other things! ”

"Elsewhere? Could it be Hebei? There was indeed news that Cao Cao was edicted to mediate the war in Hebei with the Son of Heaven, but anyone with a discerning eye could see it clearly. This guy is afraid that Xiang Zhuang is dancing with a sword and is determined to be in Pei Gong. Eighty percent took advantage of the previous incident to join the idea of merging states by the way. Lu Bu sneered and said: "The Son of Heaven in his hands is really a lot of benefits, such a blatant act of embezzling the state and county has also been crowned with the name of righteousness." I am afraid that the final result will be that 'mediation' will not be successful, so we will first use the name of righteousness to settle people, and wait until the autumn harvest is sufficient, and then it will be the time to use force to forcibly 'reconcile'. With Cao Cao's ability to use soldiers, even Yuan Tan relied on the advantages of the cavalry of the state. Yuan Xi has Jizhou Jiancheng as his basis, and he is by no means Cao Cao's opponent. In the end, it will be Cao Cao's merger and Jizhou, right? ”

"The lord is really Cao Cao's confidant! This analysis is simply meticulous, and it is simply an insight into Cao Cao's intentions like a mirror, and he knows it well! Qin Xu exclaimed. Facts have proved that praising the father-in-law in front of a lot of mothers-in-law and his own wives is also a "trick" to win favor. At this time, even Diao Chan was slightly squinted and smiled.

"Less sycophants!" The family spoke casually, and Qin Xu's very "deliberate" flattery caused Lu Bu to laugh and scold, but then as if he remembered something, he frowned and said, "But in this way, Cao Cao is afraid that he will become more and more powerful." There is the banner of righteousness for the Son of Heaven on the side, the benefits of the minions of the elite soldiers, and the protection of the wings of the good day strategists. ”

The naked (naked) jealousy on Lu Bu's face could not be concealed, and even Lu Lingqi, who had never been very enthusiastic about such military affairs, noticed the sour taste in Lu Bu's words. pouted and looked at Qin Xu, who provoked Lu Bu's thoughts, but he didn't interject obediently, but his eyes clearly complained that Qin Xu had nothing to do to provoke his father? A good family feast, as if in the conference hall.

"Isn't the lord Mo interested in Hebei again?" Qin Xu shook Lu Lingqi's little hand under the case, calmed the little girl's resentment, and asked Lu Bu with a smile.

There are some things that can't be avoided. Originally, I thought that after years of conquest and the great drought in the Central Plains, almost all the forces were taking a truce and recuperating to recuperate, which seemed to be strong, but in fact it was real on the outside and void on the inside, and Qingzhou, which had an unstable foundation, could also get a chance to take a breather. Unexpectedly, there are too many restless people these days. First, there was an incident in Jiangdong, which almost doubled the front of Lu Bu's army, and then Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi in Hebei couldn't hold it back, and there was an incident. If he still only seeks stability in this way, looking at the current momentum, he can't say that Jiangdong and Hebei will repeat the mistakes of history. It was slowly eaten away by the Cao clan and the Sun clan, and eventually became the nutrients that nourished its power. At that time, the Lu Bu army, which is trapped in Qingxu, facing enemies on three sides, and has no strategic depth on one side, will have no place to show an inch, and the final outcome is that I am afraid that I will not be able to escape the fate of making wedding dresses for others.

"It doesn't matter if you don't care about it! It's just that I can't see Cao Cao's two-faced and three-edged characters, so smoothly and smoothly Ji, and Erzhou are in his hands. And we can only rely on the Zhen family to do some things behind the yin people! Lu Bu cautiously glanced at his three ladies, and said with deep resentment in his tone.

"It's not that you can't do anything, but I don't know if the lord can endure the 'humiliation' of the momentary plan?" Qin Xu was really plucked by Cao Cao's fast movements this time. It can be regarded as figuring out the most despicable family of "eunuchs", whose appearance is almost a third-class cripple in the Han Dynasty, which attaches great importance to appearance, and whose personal reputation and popularity are actually not much better, why did he dominate in the early Han Dynasty and almost sweep the world. The state of Wei, which was built single-handedly, also monopolized most of the thirteen states. In the end, it's just a sentence that supports the bold and starves the cowardly.

Of course, Cao Cao currently occupies three states alone. It can be said that whether it is in reconciling the contradictions of the family or the stability of the foundation, there is an incomparable advantage that can only rely on the emerging powerful faction of the Mi family and the help of the Zhen family, who does not know whether it is reliable or unreliable. Think about it another way, isn't there a saying that barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes? Cao Cao was one step ahead of the others at the starting line from the start. There is also the Son of Heaven in his hands, who controls the righteousness. But the bigger the business, the more issues need to be considered. In many cases, it is not as good as Lu Bujun's victory and defeat, and he has been regarded as a bachelor. Most of the people in Boss Cao's family dare to take risks, why don't we dare to give it a go? There are more than 2 million people in Qingxu and Xuzhou Prefectures there, who are you afraid of?

"A momentary humiliation?" Lu Bu didn't understand what Qin Xu meant, and pondered for a while. Rare joke: "Let's talk about it!" What "insult"? Lu has been in the army since Wuyuan. Is there any suffering that you can't bear? Besides, don't you kid often say that the lord is worried about the humiliation of the minister, and the lord humiliates the minister to death? You are looking for death yourself, who is to blame? ”

"Mother! Look Daddy! Lu Lingqi angrily glanced at her open-mouthed father, and complained to Yan's coquettish very skillfully.

"Bongxian!" Yan's family, as always, chose to support his baby daughter, and even stood on Yan's side with Diao Chan chuckling, even Cao's family, who had always talked little, couldn't help but lean towards Yan's side.

"Uh...... Ahem! Qin Xu, who was choked by Lu Bu, glanced at his wife "gratefully". Before Lu Bu glared at him, he hurriedly said what he was about to say. said: "Do you remember what Xu said to you a few days ago, when he recognized the Zhen family's daughter Mi'er as a righteous daughter, the big gift sent by Yuan Shang?" ”

"Huh? Could it be that the 'humiliation' you just mentioned has something to do with this guy? Where would this kid have the guts to insult me? Because of the old things when he was in Hanoi before, Lu Bu had a very bad impression of Yuan Shang. Seeing that Qin Xu talked about Yuan Shang's body, he said nonchalantly.

"The lord doesn't want to underestimate Yuan Shang." Qin Xu said with a smile: "Of course, this Yuan family's junior is indeed not worthy of the lord's attention, but the person behind this Yuan third son is really not to be underestimated. Take what I just said about giving gifts to the lord by Xu's hand, it is obviously not from Yuan Shang's heart. And their intentions are not good. Xu Na's 'general' Jia Wenhe once analyzed, this is just a confusing strategy of the people behind Yuan Shang. The purpose is to reduce the lord's attention to Yuan Shang, and at the same time, as long as the lord shows his intention to meddle in Hebei's affairs in the people, he will definitely help in the early stage to ensure that the lord can at least get Jizhou. However, Hebei Hebei and Erzhou were originally Yuan Benchu's base camp, and Yuan Benchu had no other skills, but he used some means in Hebei and Erzhou, which was deeply supported by the local people and scholars. If it weren't for the people of the Yuan family, I am afraid that it would take three or five years of hard work, and they might not be able to settle down in the local state government. At that time, if the lord doesn't want to give up the Jizhou he has won, or if he can't get out of the chaos in Jizhou, he has to entrust Yuan Shang, so his intention is reached! ”

"In other words, Yuan Shang plans to let our army conquer Jizhou for him, but in the end, although Jizhou is under the name of our army, in fact, it is still under its control?" Lu Bu was talking about the humiliation of the old days, it was not a day or two, and he soon heard the hidden meaning that Qin Xu was inconvenient to say, and frowned and asked: "Is it difficult to achieve something that can't follow Qingzhou, as you said, use your strength to fight?" ”

"Don't underestimate Yuan Benchu!" Qin Xu said with a wry smile: "The behemoth of the Yuan family, according to the reputation of the fourth and third dukes, even if there was a rebellious Yuan Shu before, the prestige of the Han Dynasty has not diminished a little now, which shows the strength of its foundation and the depth of its heritage." At least I don't dare to say it in other places, Jizhou and Bingzhou, the places where Yuan Shao has worked hard for several years, even if he dies, it is by no means easy for outsiders to get. ”

"Then what do you mean, or what you mean by 'family general', the best way at the moment is to let someone be wronged, and do something like that?" Lu Bu naturally knew that Jia Xu, who made him hate and love, had already expressed his intention to Qin someone, and he was embarrassed to compete with his son-in-law under the pantothenic acid in his heart, so he could only say angrily.

"The lord is really like a ...... of lightning" Qin Xu said with a smile: "Cao Cao has an ambiguous relationship with the Black Mountain Thief, and it seems to be a discord, if you don't pay some 'price' and take the lead, I'm afraid it will be even more embarrassing in the future, so I can only do it first, and then slowly figure it out, see if there is a way to have both worlds, not only to get Jizhou, but also so that Yuan Shang will not be a threat to Qingzhou!" ”

"Do you have a specific plan?" Lu Bu pondered for a moment, perhaps out of his consistent trust in Qin Xu, although Lu Bu was a little reluctant, he finally nodded and asked.

"Nope!" Qin Xu smiled bitterly and said: "The two behind Yuan Shang are the great strategists that Yuan Shao will call his friends that day, let them be used by us unconsciously, the difficulty is not ordinary, and take a step, look at a step!" Xu plans to go to Jizhou to stir up Cao Mengde's 'clever plan' first. ”

"Zhong Ming, are you going to Jizhou? But I want to go with you! Lu Bu didn't say anything, but Lu Lingqi suddenly spoke.

"Ling'er, don't mess around, let's go to Jizhou......" Qin Xu was waiting to persuade and persuade well, and he was obviously placed in the mansion to suffocate Lu Lingqi, but he didn't dare to complain in front of Lu Bu and the three ladies. But what Qin Xu didn't expect was that before the words of persuasion could be spoken, he saw Lu Bu and the three ladies looking at each other, and suddenly said: "Since you have this plan, let Ling'er go with you, it's okay......"

"The Lord's ......" (to be continued......
