Chapter 567: The Han Dynasty Collapses, and the Heroes Dance (16)

Whether it is still a little nostalgic for the identity of Han Chen, because of the death of the Son of Heaven and some self-confusion, or the destruction of the strategy of the Son of Heaven to order the subordinate, so that the forces of the army have lost the banner of righteousness, which makes people a little confused for a while. In short, no matter what, Cao Cao regretted being so anxious.

A person who is determined to die and wants to make Cao Cao unhappy and depressed, the lethality caused by these slanderous words before death is something that even Cao Cao dare not think about. It's too insidious, too shameless! However, these words were indeed a bit out of line, and Cao Cao could not explain and refute them.

Aggrieved! This black cauldron looks like it's going to be settled. Although Xuchang has been under martial law by Cao Jun for the first time, who knows how many pairs of peeping eyes are paying attention to Cao Cao's every move in the shops and houses facing the street. That is, now the four gates are blocked by Cao Cao, otherwise Cao Cao can almost imagine that there will be various speculations about the evil plan of beating a rake before his death, and it will be all over the four fields of the Han Dynasty in an instant. Let Cao Cao instantly change from a hero to a thief scolded by the world, which is not what Cao Cao wants.

"Search for me! Even if you dig three feet into the ground, you have to dig out Yuan Shang's thief! "Cao Cao is really angry. The current situation was completely out of Cao Cao's grasp and became uncontrollable. Even a heroic man like Cao Cao, the overlord who controls the five states, has little interest in becoming the public enemy of the world. At present, the only thing that can give Cao Cao a "chance" to clear his suspicion is Yuan Shang, who is said to have "disappeared suddenly", and may be able to help Cao Cao block the sword. At least it can make the civil and military people in the land under their own rule believe that they will continue to rely on their lord Cao Cao. Not rebellious! Cao Cao had experienced the battle against Dong Zhuo at the beginning, and he knew very well about Dong Zhuo's final cause of death.

"No!" Feeling Cao Cao's anger, the soldiers of the Cao army under his command, including Cao Chunnei, were all angry and did not dare to breathe. lest he be angered by Cao Cao.

"Lord, I found it! Got it! Looking for ......" The atmosphere on Xuchang East Street was weird, and Xu Fei, the city gate guard who ran out of the Mijia firm. was originally a look of surprise, but he was also stunned, I don't know how Cao Cao, the lord of his own family who was talking and laughing with Xu Huang just now, could only do a cup of tea. His eyes were so violent.

"Speak! Where are the people? "It can almost be expected that from now on, I am afraid that it will be difficult to clean Cao Cao. The nerves tensed by these sudden events could no longer suppress their emotions, took a deep breath, and asked coldly.

"My lord, in the dry well in the backyard of the room, I found a secret passage with footprints. General Xu has personally led people to chase after him, and he will come to the Lord to announce the good news! Xu Fei said Ai Ai. Cao Cao's gentle attitude towards Xu Huang just now, Xu Fei saw it in his eyes. I thought that no matter what, even if I couldn't get Cao Cao's encouragement this time. At least you can get a good word. Unexpectedly, Cao Cao didn't seem to want to see him at all, so coldly. Xu Fei is a smart person, seeing the frustrated corpse on the ground, and the state of the soldiers of the Cao army as if they were facing a great enemy, he also knew that this was not the time to invite merit, so he did not plan to be careful in his words when he received Xu Huang's order, highlight his own merits, and said truthfully.

"Dry wells? Secret passages? Scold! The divine light in Cao Cao's eyes became colder and colder, but the corners of his mouth became more and more hooked, revealing a sense of evil. The face also changes in blue and red. People around Cao Cao who are familiar with him know that this is the master of his own family who is so angry that he wants to kill someone! Sure enough, after Cao Cao listened to Xu Fei's report, his hand kept pressing on the sword, his bones were a little white, he snorted coldly, and said angrily: "Cao Chun! The remnants of the Yuan traitor have always been afraid that the world will not be chaotic, since there is a murder of the monarch this time, it will definitely not be only these two old and one young, there will definitely be a party still in the city, you take my seal, lead the soldiers and horses of the headquarters and other departments to ask for Xuchang, and be sure to investigate the Yuan family who want to cause me Cao Mengde to be the public enemy of the world. Check it out! Dare to rebel, kill! The rest of the people waited with a certain person to help Gongming. ”

"No!" Cao Cao's words, Cao Chun understood. Where is the search for Yuan's comrades, it is clear that they want to use the knife in their hands and other people's blood to block, or at least delay the time for other forces to react, leaving room for their own forces to react. And the meaning of Cao Cao's words is clear, whether the various forces in Xuchang are sitting or spying, it is good to cooperate obediently, if there is any rebellion, I am afraid that it is waiting for them, it will be Cao Cao's cold words that he would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go.

"My lord! Don't move! Cao Chun took the order and left, because he was alarmed by the loud noise just now, the uncle and nephew of the Xun family, Xu Chu, the captain of the Xintou guard, and Cheng Yu and others, who rushed back from Puyang, saw that Cao Cao was going to take someone down the well to chase Yuan Shang in person, and they all shouted to stop them.

"Lord, the son of a daughter can't sit down, don't take risks lightly!" Xu Chu was Cao Cao after the establishment of the Son of Heaven, in the vicinity of Xu County to eliminate the remnants of the Yellow Turban, met by chance, at that time Xiahou Xuan, Cao Ren and other Cao army generals, because of the misunderstanding of Xu Chu, who was self-preservation, was also a thief, so there was a dispute. And to Cao Cao's great surprise, under Xu Chu's sledgehammer, these two people did not even catch ten moves, and they were defeated, Xu Chu's bravery, in Cao Cao's eyes, can almost be the same as Lu Bu's first fierce general, so that Cao Cao has been greedy for a long time Dian Wei is not up and down, so he persuaded him to come over, three days a small reward and five days of a big reward, directly the calm temperament of the horse general Xu Chu appointed as the head of the guard, leaning on the confidant, weekdays must not leave the left and right, in order to deal with Lu Bu's hidden hole card. Today, it was only because there was too much commotion in the Mijia business house that Cao Cao took the first step, and Xu Chu saw that Cao Cao was going to take risks, so of course he didn't agree.

"Lord, the Son of Heaven has died, and he has not yet been buried, the hearts of the people in Xuchang are floating, the lord must not give up his own begging for the end, and he should appease the army!" It was Xun Yu who spoke. After some thought, Xun's uncle and nephew's wandering attitude was much firmer than before, at least Xun Yu had begun to return to the role of Cao Jun's housekeeper.

"Frustrating the thief, beating a rake on his deathbed, it's really hateful......" may be Xun Yu, who has become more and more silent since Cao Cao's attitude towards Liu Xie gradually changed. Cao Cao's irrepressible emotions were somewhat soothed, and he finally regained some of his former senses, but he still said angrily.

"My lord. Frustrated that this thief is dead, it is impossible to block the mouths of the people in the world. But if it is time for the Lord to win the rearmament of the army, it is Yier! "Because the success rate of the strategy against Lu Bu in Qingzhou and Qin Xu was always not high, he was placed by Cao Cao in Puyang, which is located at the junction of Qingyan and Hebei, to assist Xiahou Yuan. It's just that now the state is merged, although the nominal assassin is Yuan Tan. But in fact, it has been controlled by Cao Cao, and Jizhou is even more self-preservation, except for the current "ally" Lu Bu. There was no more fighting, and he was recalled by Cao Cao. Unexpectedly, just after arriving, he encountered such a big event. Before he figured out the relationship between this matter and Cao Cao at the beginning, Cheng Yu did not move lightly. After all, it was Cao Cao who ordered the army to enter the palace late at night. Immediately, the news of the death of the Son of Heaven came out, and the so-called assassin was a scribe who plotted against Hebei, and Yuan Shang, who was just a son of Huangkou. It wasn't until he saw the madness of Fu Yu before he died, and listened to Xun Yu's mouth, that Cheng Yu said in a dark way.

"Huh?!" In fact, when Xun Yu came out just now, Cao Cao's anger had already faded and sobered up a lot. At this moment, after listening to what Cheng Yu said, it aroused Cao Cao's interest. Squinting his eyes and asking, "What?" Does Zhongde have a clever plan to help Cao? ”

"The lord is just a fan of the authorities!" Cheng Yu secretly praised Cao Cao without a trace, but his tone was extremely cold, and he said with murderous intent: "Locking Xuchang for a long time is actually not the best policy, paper can't hold the fire, the time is longer, and people with a heart will inevitably guess something." If the lord didn't want the news to spread out of control, he only needed to completely control the mouthpieces of the princes' forces, as well as the displaced people and merchants who might go to various places, and it would be enough to win two to three months. During this period, the lord on the one hand according to the plan of the public, accumulate troops, grain and grass, reconcile the headquarters, on the other hand, to win over allies, whether it is a long-distance attack or a close attack, whether it is vertical or horizontal, after all, he can take a breath. And those who are most likely to move troops without asking questions, except for those Han clan relatives, others are really not worried about the lord. It only takes a while to stabilize these families. At that time, the princes of the Eighteen Roads were not of the same heart, as long as we and others planned skillfully, these people with their own thoughts, except for those who were difficult to deal with, the rest were just busy people. ”

"Cheng Yu, you want to slaughter the people of Xuchang?!" Before he could say anything, Cheng Yu, who was listening to Cao Cao's energy, finished speaking, Xun Yu, who was still planning for Cao Cao just now, was already red-eyed. Just now, Cao Cao was just targeting the spies of the known forces in Xuchang, but Cheng Yu's purpose was to include even those ordinary people and businessmen. Cheng Yu is a strategist, maybe he thinks that he is just a group of businessmen, but Xun Yu, as the great butler of the Cao army, knows that the reason why Qingzhou has risen super fast is because of the strong combat power of the Lu Bujun and the wisdom of the resourceful people. And now, Cheng Yu's implication is that even the businessmen must be "controlled", even if it has to be said that this is the safest way at the moment, but according to Cheng Yu's nature of eating people and not spitting out bones, these people fall into his hands, I am afraid that Cao Cao will really become the enemy of the world. At that time, the conquest of the army will become a trivial matter, and there will be no merchants in the sphere of influence of the Cao army, and Xun Yu will not dare to think about what kind of tragic situation the five states under Cao Cao's rule will become.

"Hmm! If Gongda and Tongwen go back, according to the previous discussion, you take a charter, select a son from the royal family to summon the ministers to discuss and establish as the prince, and after the ceremony of the Son of Heaven is completed, he will succeed to the throne of the Son of Heaven. At the same time, think of a way, stabilize Lu Bu first, and then say, I heard that Qin Xu recently got two daughters in a row, and asked Ang'er to bring some gold silk to see if it could be an opportunity. Of course, Cao Cao understands the drawbacks in Cheng Yu's strategy, and only what Xun Yu said is what he said to seek the country. But now, Cao Cao did not wake up as soon as Xun Yu expected, abandoning the practice of digging his own grave. On the contrary, he looked perfunctory and thoughtful, and ordered Xun Yu to leave with Xun Yu who had something to say.

"My lord! Then I'll wait ......" Seeing Cao Cao drive away Xun's uncle and nephew, Cheng Yu's face was overjoyed, and he was about to speak, but he couldn't help but see Cao Cao looking at him with a flash of glint in his eyes, Cheng Yu was suddenly shocked in his heart, and immediately shut up.

"Humph! Zhong De and go and arrange it. Don't ...... Forget it......" Cao Cao glanced at Cheng Yu, who was rumored to love to eat human flesh, with a complicated expression, making people unable to distinguish between joy and anger, and when Cheng Yu hurried away with sweat, he looked at the empty capital Xuchang, stroked the blade in his hand, his expression was complicated, and he muttered the words that had been debated by later generations for more than a thousand years: "Rather teach me to bear the people of the world, Hugh let the people of the world bear me!" Scold! (To be continued......)
