Chapter 176: Civil Strife (2)
When Liu Bei heard Cao Cao's words, how could he agree, the jade belt is related to his own net worth, how can Liu Bei give the jade belt to Cao Cao. If Cao Cao accidentally discovered the edict in the jade belt, the matter would be revealed.
"How does this make it, the prime minister also knows, this is a reward from His Majesty, and how can Bei lightly transfer this thing to others, I'm afraid it will disappoint you, Prime Minister." Liu Bei said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Cao Cao smiled lightly, and then said to Liu Bei: "I believe that this jade belt is not suitable for Xuande you, not only is it not suitable for you, but it will lose your life because of it, so Xuande still reluctantly cuts his love and gives this jade belt to Cao." ”
At this time, Liu Bei was shocked again, Cao Cao had something to say, and he thought that Cao Cao didn't know what was in the jade belt. But now listening to Cao Cao's words, Cao Cao seems to know what is in this jade belt.
was shocked, even if Liu Bei had experienced a hundred battles, he was a little frightened by this.
After staring at Cao Cao for a while, Liu Bei finally took off his jade belt. Whether Cao Cao knew or didn't know that there was another mystery in the jade belt, Liu Bei saw his determination in Cao Cao's eyes.
Taking the jade belt handed over by Liu Bei, Cao Cao turned his head and said to a Wenchen beside him: "Lend your jade belt to Xuande first, and we must not let our imperial uncle be so unimaged." ”
Taking the jade belt handed by Cao Cao, Liu Bei tidied up his clothes, and then left here in a hurry. The anger here is too suppressive, and Liu Bei doesn't want to continue.
After Liu Bei left, Cao Cao pinched the jade belt in his hand and thought to himself. Suddenly, Cao Cao's eyes lit up, and there was really a great mystery in the jade belt, which could be seen through the guò feel. There is a roll of silk in the jade belt.
Needless to say, Cao Cao knew what was in the jade belt. Immediately, Cao Cao showed a sneer, and it seemed that someone couldn't sit still.
Dong Cheng's mansion, when Dong Cheng learned that Cao Cao had obtained the jade belt. Dong Chengke was extremely frightened. However, Cao Cao has not taken any action in the past few days, so Dong Cheng's courage has become more and more emboldened.
However, in the past few days, Du Chen and Cao Cao have not moved. Although the two of them are still tense, the two of them are not as popular as a few days ago, and this news is not good news for Dong Chenglai.
"Since the two of them are already like fire and water, I will add fuel to the fire for you, and when you lose both, you will reap the benefits of the fisherman." Dong Cheng said with a gloomy face. Waited so long. Dong Chengke has no intention of continuing to wait.
Soon, Dong Cheng hurriedly contacted several like-minded people and prepared to assassinate Cao Cao. As long as Cao Cao is dead, everything will be fine.
Several people had already assassinated Cao Cao, and since Dong Cheng had this plan, they hit it off. However, it is difficult to prevent thieves day and night, and when several people were discussing, the actions of several people had been completely heard by one person.
This person heard the conspiracy of Dong Cheng and the others. A treacherous smile suddenly appeared. He knew that his chance to be promoted and make a fortune had come. If you can take advantage of this opportunity. That day will definitely soar in the future.
The figure left quietly, without attracting the attention of Dong Cheng and the others. Subsequently, in addition to Dong Cheng's mansion, this person hurried towards Cao Cao's prime minister's mansion.
At the same time, Du Chen also collected enough evidence. I may not believe it before. But now that the facts are in front of his eyes, Du Chen has to believe it. Because in Xuchang, looking forward to Cao Cao's death is not just one or two.
In addition, there are many ambitious people who keep wooing Du Chen. This made Du Chen's face full of haze. Xuchang City is really chaotic.
Just when Du Chen was thinking about what to do next, Du Chen suddenly received Cao Cao's order. For this, Du Chen was very puzzled. Because the two had already agreed before, if it wasn't for something special, the two would not be in contact.
And now that Cao Cao actually ordered someone to come to him, it must show that Cao Cao has made a huge discovery there, and this discovery has been able to put an end to such crazy actions for the two of them.
In the past few days of acting, Du Chen can be said to be frightened. Because this matter between Du Chen and Cao Cao is indeed big enough. If it weren't for the two of them being very careful, I'm afraid that Xuchang City would have fallen into a war long ago.
If it weren't for the stubborn climate of the Xuchang royalists, Du Chen would not dare to rashly use this plan. After all, in order to ensure that this plan was not leaked, this plan was only known to the most trusted people of Du Chen and Cao Cao. As for the others, neither Du Chen nor Cao Cao mentioned anything to them.
Therefore, when the relationship between Hao Du Chen and Cao Cao was tense, there was also a big gap between the generals who cared about Du Chen and the generals who were loyal to Cao Cao. If there are really people with ulterior motives who provoke each other, it is really possible for these people to start a riot.
Now it seems that the danger of this scheme is too high, and if Cao Cao really makes a decisive discovery there, it can be over. After all, Du Chen doesn't live like a frightened life.
After receiving Cao Cao's secret order, Du Chen quietly appeared in Cao Cao's study. At this time, Cao Cao was not the only one in the study. In addition to Cao Cao, there was another person kneeling in front of Cao Cao.
Du Chen's appearance startled that person. He couldn't imagine why Du Chen was here. It is rumored that Prime Minister Cao Cao and Taiwei Du Chen are already like fire and water, and they both want to kill each other, but now Du Chen has appeared in the Prime Minister's Mansion alone.
Thinking of this, the person kneeling on the ground couldn't help but leave a trace of cold sweat. Seeing Du Chen and Cao Cao smiling at each other, it is obvious that Du Chen and Cao Cao are not what is rumored outside, on the contrary, this qiē is all an illusion, but Du Chen and Cao Cao are just trying to confuse everyone.
Looking up at Du Chen, this person suddenly felt that his future was bleak. Cao Cao and Du Chen have a close relationship, and he knows the relationship between Cao Cao and Du Chen, and such news is something that Du Chen and Cao Cao need to hide.
Du Chen looked at the person kneeling on the ground, this person was very unfamiliar. I don't know why because of such a strange person, Cao Cao wanted to call himself to discuss the matter.
Looking at Du Chen, Cao Cao said to the man kneeling on the ground: "Okay, you go down first, this prime minister still has to discuss with Taiwei." ”
The person kneeling on the ground hurriedly knelt down, and then walked out of Cao Cao's study in a panic.
"Mengde, who is this person?" Wait for the man to leave Cao Cao's study. Du Chen hurriedly asked. Cao Cao is not a person who can't sit still, so if Cao Cao is willing to call himself, it is obvious that this person is very important.
"This person is a member of Dong Chengfu's family, named Dong Zhi, and he came today to tell the truth." Cao Cao said with a sneer. Dong Cheng is ready to start, and he can almost close the net.
Dong Cheng was really bold, he actually wanted to take advantage of the chaos to assassinate himself, if it wasn't for Dong Zhi coming to tell him, Cao Cao would still be kept in the dark. Even though Cao Cao won't pay attention to Dong Cheng, who would like someone to want to kill him.
"Dong Cheng and the others are just clowns jumping off the beam, since there is real evidence, then a few people will be arrested and killed." Hearing this, Du Chen spoke.
But this time Cao Cao shook his head, he looked at Du Chen and said: "The so-called catching thief is dirty, if you kill a few people so hastily, it will definitely leave a tongue on people." Therefore, for the stability of Xuchang City, it is determined that people will be stolen and seized. ”
Looking at Cao Cao's appearance, Du Chen was very helpless. But then Du Chen had an idea, and Du Chen suddenly said: "Dong Cheng and the others are just clowns who jump off the beam, and if they want to assassinate Meng De, I am afraid that there are still 108,000 miles away from them." Therefore, Chen believes that they will definitely find a powerful accomplice with them. ”
When Du Chen said this, Cao Cao also smiled sinisterly. What Du Chen meant by this, Cao Cao naturally knew very well. In addition to these clowns, the only one in the entire Xuchang City who wants to die is Du Chen, if they really want to succeed, then they will definitely find Du Chen to cooperate.
"Presumably Meng De, you also know, Nachen will go back to the house and wait, waiting for these clowns to come to find dust." Looking at Cao Cao's expression, Du Chen knew what he meant. So he hurriedly spoke.
Cao Cao nodded and said: "It should be so, I have waited for so long, just waiting for these villains to automatically surface, and after they have completely bitten the bait, that is when they die." ”
Du Chen said goodbye to Cao Cao, and then quietly returned to his mansion. Although it was in the final stage, Du Chen still didn't dare to take it lightly. The more important the moment, the more you need to be careful.
As soon as Du Chen arrived at his mansion, the news came from outside the door that Dong Cheng invited him to come over to the mansion. Obviously, Du Chen's conjecture is very correct. This group of villains who can't sit still really want to help themselves.
In fact, Dong Cheng didn't want to do this, but he also realized that it was difficult to assassinate Cao Cao with the ability of just a few people. Although there are a few dead soldiers in captivity in the house, it is embarrassing and useful after all. Because everyone has seen how powerful the guards around Cao Cao are.
Cao Cao is in a high position, and there are not a few people who want him to die. Even though so many people wanted to assassinate Cao Cao, Cao Cao was still alive and well, and this qiē was not only due to Cao Cao's good military force, but also to the Seven Martial Seas around him who could fight well.
And there is also a particularly important point, that is, the Seven Martial Seas Commander Dian Wei has the courage of ten thousand people. If you can't solve him, then trying to assassinate Cao Cao is tantamount to being difficult to climb.
But with his own dead soldiers alone, it is difficult for Cao Cao's Seven Martial Seas and the Seven Martial Seas Commander Dian Wei. Therefore, some people mentioned that yì cooperated with Du Chen.
In the entire Xuchang City, there are many people who want Cao Cao to die, but Du Chen is the only one who can have such strength as Du Chen. Du Chen's Yellow Turban Warrior is unpredictable, and the elite of the Xuanwu Battalion under Gao Shun is abnormal, if he can agree to help him assassinate Cao Cao, it will definitely be twice the result with half the effort.
Therefore, under the unanimous request of several people, Dong Cheng could only bite the bullet and invite Du Chen. (To be continued......)
