"I've seen Sikong-sama!" Cheng Yu and Guo Jia came to the backyard of Sikong Mansion to meet Cao Cao.

"Get up!" Cao Cao and Lu Rui were tasting fresh fruits and preserved meat in the pavilion.

"Thank you, sir!"

"Fengxiao, everything is arranged?" Cao Cao took a sip of wine, revealing a little sadness.

"Lord Qiqi, everything has been arranged, Zhang Xiuhui will personally lead troops to besiege Dong Chengfu, and Zhongde and General Xiahou are responsible for maintaining the stability of Xudu and eradicating the rest of the traitors. As for the palace? There are no candidates for the time being. ”

"Dong Cheng and the traitors in the city will be handed over to Zhang Xiu and the Xiahou brothers, as for the palace, Rui'er, you should take someone there."

"Here's a list, the people on it, not a single one is left!" Cao Cao took out a list from his sleeve and threw it to Lu Rui.

"Yes, Father!" Lu Rui picked up the list and put it in his arms.

"Remember, bring more people with you, don't hurt yourself."

"The child understands!"

"All of you go down, and stay quiet for a while."

"Subordinates retire!" The three of them left the gazebo.

"Rui'er, what's wrong with the lord?" Seeing Cao Cao's somewhat strange look, Guo Jia was very puzzled, leaned over to Lu Rui's side, and asked in a low voice.

"The holy decree has just come, Your Majesty will invite the middle father into the palace tomorrow to discuss matters!"

"I see! No wonder the lord is a little weird, it's inevitable. Guo Jia understood Cao Cao's state of mind at this time, in fact, Cao Cao originally wanted to be a courtier of the Han Dynasty, a general of the expedition to the north, and a crusade against foreign tribes, but the troubled times created the traitorous male Cao Cao! This is probably the famous saying of later generations: the capable minister who rules the world, and the traitor who is in troubled times. The times are different, and the loyalty and treachery are different!

As soon as the palace gate was opened, Cao Cao took Lu Rui into the palace of Xu Du, Cao Cao took Xu Chu to wait for Liu Xie's summons outside the main hall, and Lu Rui led his troops to round up Dong Cheng's people.

On the square of a side hall in the inner hall, Dian Wei and Murong Ping guarded Lu Rui, and about 300 soldiers entered the palace in batches under the leadership of Gonggong Cao.

"Master Hou, everyone has arrived." Gonggong Cao looked at Lu Rui flatteringly.

"Grandpa Cao, have they all changed shifts?"

"Don't worry, Master Hou, everything has been arranged, and His Majesty's personal guards are now resting in the courtyard in the east, about a hundred people."

"Okay, Gonggong Cao will lead the way!"

"Master Hou, please!" Gonggong Cao led the way in front, and Lu Rui led the soldiers straight to the courtyard of Liu Xie's personal guard.

In a courtyard to the east, Liu Xie's personal guard captain Liu Zhong had just washed his face and was about to rest, he was on duty yesterday and was tired!

"Your Excellency!" A captain came back from outside the courtyard, saw Liu Zhong, and immediately saluted.

"Why are you back?" This captain is the guard on the morning shift.

"My lord? You didn't bring us back, the father-in-law of the guard told us. ”

"What! When am I letting you guys come back! When Liu Zhong heard this, he was taken aback, the guards who were originally loyal to Liu Xie were divided into two groups, stationed in various parts of the palace respectively, in order to facilitate the investigation of news, after all, not all the troops in the palace were loyal to Liu Xie, and they were mixed.

"My lord, an unknown army is approaching our courtyard!" A guard hurried to report.

"What! You quickly go to the Guozhang Mansion to inform General Dong Cheng that there is a change in the palace! Liu Zhong yelled at the captain.

"Yes, sir!" The captain also noticed that something was wrong and immediately left the backyard.

"Tell the brethren to arise and go out to meet the enemy!" After the captain left, Liu Zhong ordered the guards who ran into the courtyard to wake up the others.

"Yes, sir!"

Soon, Lu Rui surrounded the courtyard with his army.

"Little Marquis? Grandpa Cao? Liu Zhong pressed his sword and looked at the two.

"Captain Liu? Lord Sikong received a secret report that Dong Cheng was plotting against and attempting to subvert the dynasty, and Captain Liu was an accomplice and asked Captain Liu to disarm and surrender! ”

"Fart! Dong Chengnai is the ruler of the dynasty, how can he rebel, but you are Cao Cao's henchmen and try to subvert the Han Dynasty! ”

"Presumptuous, the traitor still dares to quibble! Take them all, and if you resist, you will be killed! Lu Rui gave an order to the soldiers.

Dian Wei and Murong Ping rushed forward with their soldiers, and Liu Zhong also pulled out his saber at his waist to meet him.

Dian Wei made a preemptive move, and with a cross of the double halberd, Liu Zhong's armor was cut open.

"What!" Liu Zhong looked at Dian Wei in surprise, he actually broke his defense with one move?

Before Liu Zhong could react, Dian Wei flew out of the double halberd and hit Liu Zhong's chest, and Liu Zhong fell to the ground in response.

Most of the rest of the guards were killed by Lu Rui's soldiers before they could get dressed, and the battle ended quickly.

Looking at the corpse on the ground, Gonggong Cao arched his hand and said, "Little Hou Ye, it's all solved!" ”

"Okay, Gonggong Cao, here's a list of servants, you can follow the above, capture people one by one, and Lord Sikong will be rewarded."

"Yes, Master Hou!" Father-in-law Cao took the list with both hands.

"Evil, you take someone to clean up here, Murong Ping, take a hundred sergeants with me to Concubine Dong's bedroom!"

"Yes, Master Hou!"

"! Empress! It's a big deal, someone is coming with troops! ”

"Presumptuous, who dares to bring troops to the dormitory of this palace? The other way around! Concubine Dong Guifei walked out surrounded by everyone.

"Concubine Niangniang!" Lu Rui saw Concubine Dong come out, stepped forward and arched his hand, but did not salute.

"Why is Master Hou here? also brought soldiers, **, within the **, it is a crime of disrespect to bring armor without permission, doesn't the Hou Ye know? Concubine Dong Guifei righteously scolded Lu Rui.

"The concubine is serious, how can Rui be such a disrespectful person, the concubine probably forgot, when the first emperor Ling Emperor canonized the eighth lieutenant of Xiyuan, Rui had to be promised by the first emperor to bring armored people into the palace!"

"By the way, this marquis forgot that the concubine was not in the palace at that time." Lu Rui looked at Concubine Dong playfully.

"Hmph, Master Hou, even if you have the right to bring troops into the palace, why did you bring people to surround my dormitory!"

"Guozhang Dong Cheng conspired to rebel, and the concubine may also be involved, Rui is ordered by Lord Sikong to take the concubine to Zongzheng to try the case!"

"Humph! Go to Zongzheng? It's not where your adoptive father and son control it! ”

"Guifei Niangniang, rebellion is a big crime, this marquis has the right to cut first and then play, Niangniang should think twice!" Lu Rui ignored Dong Guifei's scolding, scold, scold whatever you want, resist me and use violence!

Dong Guifei's face changed slightly, and the soldiers brought by Lu Rui had blood on their hands! Just after a battle? If you resist yourself, the child in the womb? Thinking of this, Concubine Dong Guifei glanced at Lu Rui and said, "Master Hou, even if my father rebels, this noble person is also the concubine of His Majesty, and he will only be convicted after the law of the Han Dynasty, please act in accordance with the law of the country!" ”

"Of course, someone will escort Niangniang to Zongzheng!" Damn, I won't really move you, Lao Cao's decision is the decision, and the woman retreated when she was frightened.

At this time, Dong Cheng's mansion, "Guozhang, please send troops quickly, there are changes in the palace." Before the guard could finish his work, he died of rage.

"Your Excellency?" The guards hurriedly asked Dong Cheng.

"Quickly gather the government soldiers and ask someone to bring a message to Zhang Xiu, things have changed, you must act in advance!" Dong Cheng looked at the guards covered in blood, and his heart was half cold, could it be that Cao Cao did it in advance?

"My lord, Zhang Xiu is here with the troops!" Dong Cheng had just assembled his family soldiers, and Zhang Xiu came.

"Hurry up, please!" Dong Cheng was very excited when he heard that Zhang Xiu was coming, and walked out of the courtyard directly to greet Zhang Xiu in the front hall.

"General Zhang, things have changed, hurry up and Cheng enter the palace to save the driver!" Dong Cheng saw Zhang Xiu, grabbed Zhang Xiu, and was about to leave the General's Mansion and go straight to the palace.

"Dong Cheng is a traitor!" Zhang Xiu shook off Dong Cheng's hand, pulled out his saber, and put it on Dong Cheng's neck.

Hu Che'er rushed forward with an arrow step, and with two clicks, the necks of Dong Cheng's two personal guards were broken.

"General Zhang." Dong Cheng looked at Zhang Xiu incredulously.

"Dong Cheng forged His Majesty's blood edict, intending to murder Lord Sikong and threaten His Majesty, Zhang Xiu was ordered by Lord Sikong to eradicate the traitor, if there is resistance, kill him!" Zhang Xiu's soldiers immediately rushed forward and controlled Dong Cheng's soldiers.

"Zhang Xiu! Shameless children, don't die well! "It's a fool who understands that Zhang Xiu played Infernal Affairs, pretending to surrender and letting himself fall into the scheme.

"Tie him up, plug his mouth with a cloth, and bring it to Sikong-sama!" Zhang Xiu was also unambiguous, and directly ordered to control Dong Cheng and escort him to Sikong Mansion.

"Yes, sir!"

"Kill them all, not a single one!" Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan raided Dong Cheng's remnants everywhere in Xudu, and none of those who controlled the army were left, all the courtiers were imprisoned, and their families were in prison, waiting for their fate.

For a while, chickens and dogs jumped in the city, and many officials didn't know when it happened, and they or their colleagues were arrested and put in prison. When the time came, the streets of Xudu were full of patrolling soldiers, and a solemn atmosphere enveloped Xudu.

"The old slave has seen Master Hou!" After Lu Rui dealt with Dong Guiren, he waited for Gonggong Cao in the side courtyard outside the main hall.

"Father-in-law Cao doesn't need to be polite, everything is done?" Lu Rui took a sip of tea and asked slowly.

"Master Hou, most of the people have been arrested, and they have already been." After speaking, he sat in a clicking position.

"Well, that's good!"

"Except for one heart, this eunuch doesn't know how to think." Gonggong Cao stammered.

"What!" When Lu Rui heard this, he immediately jumped up from the stone bench, and the most important thing was to run away!

"Father-in-law Cao, how can you leave the palace with one heart? Can eunuchs also leave the palace? "Lu Rui scolded Grandpa Cao, grandma's, forget it if others run away, this master has run away, how to explain!

"This marquis forgives his sins, and asked His Majesty for an order yesterday, his father passed away, went out of the city to worship, and has not returned, the old slave originally wanted to stop it, but Lord Sikong has an arrangement, and the old slave is afraid of arousing suspicion and breaking the big thing" Gonggong Cao lowered his head and did not dare to face Lu Rui.

Lu Rui glanced at Gonggong Cao, and then sighed, it is no wonder that Gonggong Cao did not send someone to keep an eye on Yixin, so that he took advantage of a loophole, thinking of this, Lu Rui said: "Gonggong Cao, get up, this Hou Ye and Lord Sikong will rely on Gonggong Cao in the future, and Gonggong Cao will have a reward for making great contributions this time!" ”

"Thank you, old slave, Master Hou, thank you, Lord Sikong!"

"Okay, Gonggong Cao, I'll leave the matter here to you, and I'll go to Lord Sikong."

"Yes, Master Hou!"

Lu Rui tidied up his clothes and walked to the main hall, alas, people are not as good as heaven, and he actually let Yixin run, a mistake, a mistake!
