Just after the hour, darkness shrouded the entire county, only the military camp outside the city was brightly lit, and Cao Ren, Lu Rui and others in the main tent were preparing to pull out the camp overnight and return to Xudu.

"No, this letter is a letter written by my uncle to Yuan Rang, you sign it here, and then I will send my henchmen to Yuan Rang, hoping that this letter can prevent Yuan Rang's return to Xudu." Cao Ren handed over the bamboo slips to Lu Rui, Cao Cao had an accident, and the people of Xiahou's family in Qian County must have informed Xiahoudun, Xiahoudun and Cao Cao had a deep affection, I am afraid that they will immediately lead the troops to kill Xudu, and then it will be bad.

"Uncle, after sending the letter, Rui and his master took Zidan to take the path back to Xudu, and Zidan controlled Xudu's army first, and my master and I went to the manor in the suburbs to arrange and create a false impression." After Lu Rui signed, he stamped his official seal and handed over the form to Cao Ren.

"Okay, this matter will be handed over to Bufan, Cao Jin is still digging, I'm afraid we have to plan for the worst." Cao Ren never refused to say that word, and after taking the bamboo slip, he put it in his arms.

"Uncle, don't worry! The foundation of the Cao family will not collapse! Lu Rui arched his hand and withdrew from the barracks.

In the farm ten miles away from Qiao County, Cao Cao is looking at the Art of War in the Spring and Autumn Period, and there is a bamboo slip by his side, this is Meng De's new book, Cao Cao is compiling his own experience in more than ten years of conquest, leaving some foundation for the Cao family, and the Han family is relying on books to maintain prosperity!

"See the lord!" Zuo Ci suddenly came to Cao Cao.

"The Taoist is here, is there good news?" Cao Cao put down the bamboo slip in his hand and glanced at Zuo Ci.

"Lord, poor Dao has captured one person. This person was sent by General Cao Ren to deliver a letter to General Xiahoudun. This population is tight. Don't say anything, my lord, are you, you're going to see him? Zuo Ci arched his hand and returned to Cao Cao.

"Who is this person?"

"Lord, this person should be a member of the Cao family's clan, and he has the Cao family's clan card on him."

"Okay, I understand. Where is that person? ”

"It's in the antechamber, and it's already tied up there by the poor road."

"Okay, I'll go meet this son of the Cao family!"

In the antechamber, a sergeant knelt in the hall with his hands tied, shouting incessantly.

"Who are you who dare to stop the envoy of the Cao army? Don't you want to live anymore! ”

"Dao Chief, this person has been shouting here?"

"My lord, we have taken it and used some punishment. He did not confess, and our men withdrew. He's here again. ”

"Okay, good, it seems that there are still a lot of loyal people in my Cao family!" Cao Cao stroked his beard, yes, a small soldier is so loyal, it seems that Cao Ren is good at leading the troops, and the children of the Cao family are united.

"It seems that Zixiao is good at leading troops, and all the soldiers can keep their mouths shut, which really impresses Prime Minister Ben!" Cao Cao laughed and walked out of the main hall.

"Who?" The sergeant looked at the dark figure that had come out of the side hall, and there was a wary look in his eyes.

"Don't you even recognize the prime minister?" Cao Cao approached the sergeant and smiled at the kneeling sergeant.

"Prime Minister, Prime Minister? How would you? The sergeant was stunned, how could Cao Cao be here, wasn't he sent back to Xu Capital by Lu Rui and Guo Jia for treatment?

"No, you're not the prime minister, the prime minister is not here, you're in disguise!"

"Where did you come from, bastard, you dare to pretend to be the prime minister!"

"Are you a child of the Cao family? Don't you know this jade pendant and the sect order? After speaking, Cao Cao took out a jade pendant and a piece of sect order from his arms, which were all the things of the head of the Cao family.

"This?" The sergeant carefully observed the jade pendant and the sect order, this is true, is it really the prime minister in front of him?

"Prime Minister, you weren't injured and escorted back to Xudu by the Hou Ye and the military advisor, how could it be?"

"Oh? Extraordinary and Fengxiao escorted me back to Xudu? Cao Cao patted the dust on the sergeant's body and smiled playfully, knowing what Lu Rui and Cao Ren had planned.

"Dao Chief, untie this sergeant, you explain it to him, and then let me see Zixiao's letter to Yuan Rang." Cao Cao picked up the sergeant, laughed to himself, and left the antechamber.

Soon, Zuo Ci came to Cao Cao's study with Cao Ren's letter and presented it to Cao Cao for reading.

"Dao Chief, it seems that Bufan and Zixiao have already planned for the worst, and it seems that Prime Minister Ben is dead, and they are going to return to Xu Capital to control the situation in the imperial court. But I am afraid that Yuan Rang will avenge the prime minister, and will raise troops to attack the palace of Xudu and kill His Majesty! ”

"Lord, it seems that General Cao and Hou Ye are thoughtful and have made predictions and preparations for various emergencies." Zuo Ci took the bamboo slip and stepped aside, waiting for Cao Cao's instructions.

"The plans are all good, but it's hard to say whether they're the same. The ability to deal with emergencies is the most important ability. Cao Cao picked up a copy of the latest information that had just been transmitted back from the desk and smiled weirdly.

"What do you mean, lord?"

"Dao Chief, wait a minute, I'll write a letter, Dao Chang will send a few more sergeants to escort Zixiao's people to send the two letters to Yuan Rang at the same time, and this prime minister wants to have a praying mantis to catch cicadas and yellow finches behind!"

"No!" Cao Cao then wrote a handwritten letter to Zuo Ci, asking Cao Ren's cronies to continue to Qingzhou.

In the palace of Xudu, Liu Xie was sleeping in the palace, hugging Queen Fu and dreaming of regaining power.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Suddenly, a small voice came from outside the dormitory door, accompanied by a knock on the door.

"Who!" Liu Xie suddenly jumped up from the bed, looked around, and saw that there was no one around, so he was relieved. Since Liu Xie and Cao Cao tore their faces, Liu Xie was terrified every day, for fear that he would become Cao Cao's ghost.

"Your Majesty, it's a villain, there's news from Qian County." Little Liu's father-in-law whispered the situation to Liu Xie outside the dormitory.

"You go out of the side hall, I'll be here right away!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Liu Xie gently left Empress Fu. Put on the dragon robe. I came to the antechamber. A man in black was waiting for Liu Xie.

"Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live your Majesty!"

"Okay, Black Shadow, you don't have to be polite, how is the situation in Qian County?" Black Shadow, the only remaining embroidered messenger in the Han Imperial Palace, has been serving the emperor of the Han Dynasty since the time of Empress Lu, which is the last trace of power in Liu Xie's hands to completely obey himself.

"Back to Your Majesty. Cao Cao is dead! The black shadow replied firmly to Liu Xie.

"What? Say it again! Liu Xie couldn't believe his ears, Cao Cao, is Cao Cao really dead?

"Back to Your Majesty, Cao Cao is really dead." Then the black shadow reported what happened in Qian County one by one, in which the black shadow personally saw Cao Cao enter the underground palace, the door of the underground palace was closed, and Cao Jin was still digging the underground palace to report to Liu Xie one by one.

"Shadow, are you sure what you're seeing is real?" Liu Xie stood up from the dragon chair and stared at the black shadow.

"Your Majesty, what your subordinates see is what they see with their own eyes. There is no falsehood, Cao Cao has been trapped in the underground palace for more than three hours. The poisonous gas in the underground palace must have filled the entire underground palace, even if Cao Cao can be rescued and the poisonous gas enters his body, he is definitely a wasted person! The black shadow arched his hand and returned to Liu Xie.

"Good, good! God bless the man, God bless the man! Black Shadow, you go down first, and then report to me if there is any situation. Liu Xie laughed a few times, suddenly realized that his voice was too loud, and quickly suppressed his joy.

"Grandpa Liu!" After the black shadow left, Liu Xie immediately thought of finding a heart to come and discuss the future.

"Your Majesty?"

"You will come to you at once, and I have something important to discuss with him." Liu Xie couldn't hold back his excitement and wanted to recruit Yixin to come and discuss how to regain the power of the imperial court.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" After Xiao Liu received the order, he went to the harem.

"I've seen Your Majesty!"

"Yixin, you are here, I want to tell you good news" Subsequently, Liu Xie told Yixin the news that Cao Cao was trapped in the underground palace.

"It's been three hours, even if Cao Cao can be rescued, he is still a wasted man, God bless the great man, I can finally return to power." Liu Xie showed a greedy gaze and was ambitious.

"This?" I was stunned for a moment, my plan was successful? Cao Cao actually stumbled on an old horse and fell into his own way?

"Your Majesty, may I ask Your Majesty to confirm that Cao Cao is really dead, has Your Majesty ever seen Cao Cao's corpse?" Asked Liu Xie cautiously.

"It's not true, but my spies replied that Cao Cao was indeed trapped in the underground palace, and many people in Qian County can testify to it." Liu Xie is sure that the information brought back by the black shadow is absolutely true, Cao Cao is trapped in the underground palace, is he an immortal, can he still fly out?

"Your Majesty, I think that we still confirm Cao Cao's death first, if Cao Cao is really dead, we can fight back against the Cao family and regain the power of the imperial court." Yixin is still more cautious, one day does not confirm the news of Cao Cao's death, one day will not be easy to start, this is a matter of the head.

"This?" Liu Xie also calmed down, if Cao Cao really didn't die, and he did it himself, he would completely tear up his face with the Cao family, and then Cao Cao would probably have a reason to abolish himself. Thinking of this, Liu Xie suddenly sobered up a lot and acquiesced to Yixin's suggestion.

"Okay, I'll wait a few more days, if Cao Cao is really dead, I will take the money back from the Cao family!"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

On Yang Biao's mansion in Xudu, Yang Biao's spies also returned to Xudu to report to Yang Biao about Cao Cao, and Yang Biao was taken aback when he heard it.

"Confused, confused, Your Majesty is confused, you actually listen to slander, it's over, it's over, the big man is going to be finished!" Yang Biao cried bitterly and kept pounding the table next to him.

"Father, father?" When Yang Xiu saw Yang Biao like this, he hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade him.

"Dezu, Dezu, the Han is going to be finished, and when it is over, Your Majesty is probably going to die."

"Father, what do you mean?"

"Dezu, if Cao Cao is really dead, will the people of the Cao family stop? Will the people of the Xiahou family give up? They all have military power in their hands, soldiers and horses in their hands, if they storm the palace, Your Majesty, what will happen to Your Majesty? Yang Biao grabbed Yang Xiu's hand, and he was confused for a while.

"Father, it seems that the master behind His Majesty is indeed unfathomable, not only wants to solve the Cao family to kill His Majesty, but also wants to make the world chaotic, so as to profit from it!" Yang Xiu is talented and smart. Immediately thought of a one-hearted afterthought. If the Cao family is angry. Killed Liu Xie. The princes of the world will definitely not let go of this opportunity, and when the time comes, the relatively stable world will be a group of heroes competing for hegemony and falling into endless wars.

"Dezu, my father is worried about this, Your Majesty is dead, my father is just sorry for the first emperor, if the Han Dynasty is chaotic again. The people are suffering, and if you are a father, you will be sorry for the people of Limin, the Han Dynasty! ”

"No, the father must stop this from happening."

"Dezu, you go and contact our people immediately, we have to plan well in the early days of the next few days!"

"What does Father mean?"

"The master behind His Majesty will definitely suggest that His Majesty eradicate the Cao family, and our Yang family must support the Cao family, and not let the villain incite the army, so as not to cause a big disaster!" Yang Biao picked up his crutches and glanced at Yang Xiu. His face was full of worry.

"Whoa, whoa!" Three days later, in the early morning, the rooster in the people's house had just crowed. Xu Du is already full of rumors.

Cao Cao encountered an assassin in Qian County and was trapped in the underground palace.

Cao Cao has been rescued by Lu Rui and Guo Jia, and is now recuperating in the courtyard of the Cao family on the outskirts of Xudu.

Cao Cao is actually dead.

The Assassin heard that he was from the palace.

The streets and alleys are discussing Cao Cao's assassination, and there are many versions. Ordinary people and ordinary businesses in Xudu closed their homes and did not dare to go out. The courtiers were also discussing, and they didn't have an accurate idea for a while.

"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!" Liu Xie came to the top of the main hall in a black dragon robe, and today is the day of the court meeting.

"All the ministers are flat." Liu Xieping was tied and signaled that the ministers could get up.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what is the important thing to report today?" Liu Xie looked at the ministers, there was not a single important minister of the Cao family here, it seemed that it was a good opportunity.

"Wechen has something important to report!"

"Wang Yushi, please speak!" One of Liu Xie's henchmen, Wang Yushi, stood up and came out.

"Back to Your Majesty, when Your Majesty came to the early court today, I heard that the streets and alleys were talking about the assassination of the Prime Minister, and now that the Prime Minister was assassinated, his life and death are unknown, and His Majesty thought that His Majesty should make a decision as soon as possible. The minister suggested that a new prime minister be appointed to deal with the affairs of the imperial court."

"I also know about the assassination of the Prime Minister, is the Prime Minister rescued now, or is he still trapped in the underground palace?" Liu Xie specially asked the ministers whether Cao Cao was alive or dead, and who could give an answer.

"Your Majesty, now that there is no news from Qian County, I am afraid that the Prime Minister has suffered misfortune, please make a decision as soon as possible." Wang Yushi got Liu Xie's hint and hurriedly stood up and sang and made peace with Liu Xie.

"This?"

"Your Majesty, it has been three days since the assassination of the Prime Minister, and now there is no news of the Prime Minister's survival in Qian County, and the minister also seconded the words of the king's imperial history." An official who supported Liu Xie also stood up and echoed Wang Yushi.

"Zhongqing, what other suggestions do you have?" Cao Cao's people are all watching, Cao Cao's life and death are unknown, and it is difficult for him to express his position, because there is no leader of the Cao family in the court now, and a casual statement will put him in a place of no return.

"Chen Yang Biao has something to do!" Yang Biao saw that there was no leader in the Cao family, so he stood up.

"Boss, what is there to do?"

"Your Majesty, the words of the king's imperial history are slanderous words, please don't accept them!" Yang Biao arched his hand and returned to Liu Xie.

"What?" Liu Xie's face suddenly distorted, he originally thought that Yang Biao was supporting him, but why, he came to step down?

"Your Majesty, now the Prime Minister is just unaware of the news, and he is not sure that he has been killed, the so-called living to see people and dead to see the corpse, I haven't even seen the body of the Prime Minister, how can we assert that the Prime Minister has been killed? If the prime minister is not killed, His Majesty will determine that the prime minister is in trouble, which is probably inappropriate, please think twice! ”

"Your Majesty, please think twice!" As soon as Yang Biao came out, the people who supported Cao Cao immediately stood up, in line with Yang Biao's words, anyway, he was a bird again, and he would not be affected by the disaster when the time came.

"Your Majesty, the prime minister is the head of a hundred officials, and he handles the affairs of the imperial court, how can he re-establish the prime minister because of a rumor? Doesn't this treat the Han law as a child's play? Your Majesty, even if the Prime Minister is killed, we can't immediately appoint another Prime Minister, and the Prime Minister is the pillar of the country, and we should act cautiously and act in accordance with the law. Your Majesty, please think again! Yang Biao's performance this time was to accentuate his tone, and he seemed to be dissatisfied.

"Your Majesty, please think twice!" Seeing Yang Biao go further, Cao Cao's people immediately echoed, today is strange, Yang Biao has become the leader of the Cao family?

"What the boss said is reasonable, and this matter will be done according to the boss's wishes."

"Your Majesty is wise!"

"Report! Your Majesty, Lu Rui, the general of Zhengbei, and Guo Jia, the military advisor, have returned to Xudu and are now waiting outside the palace to be summoned. Just as Yang Biao was arguing, a guard came to report that Lu Rui and Guo Jia had returned to Xudu.

"Oh? Let General Lu and Master Guo come in, I have something important to ask. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live!" Soon, Lu Rui and Guo Jia came to the main hall.

"The two Qing families, please, the two Qing families are people who returned to Qian County with the prime minister, I don't know how the prime minister is now? Were the Assassins captured? Before Liu Xie could get up, he began to ask questions.

"Back to Your Majesty, the Prime Minister has been trapped in the underground palace after the assassination, and has been rescued by the ministers, but when the Prime Minister was rescued, his body was too weak, and the doctor suggested that the Prime Minister should recuperate with peace of mind, and the ministers have placed the Prime Minister in a suburban manor." Cao Ren replied respectfully to Liu Xie.

"Oh? This is really the great luck of the imperial court, the great luck of the Han Dynasty, General Cao, the prime minister is the pillar of the country, we must ask the best doctor for treatment, I decided to send the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat the prime minister, I hope the prime minister will recover soon. Hearing the news that Cao Cao was not dead, Liu Xie's heart suddenly cooled, but after thinking about it carefully, this may be Cao Ren's suspicious plan, and he wants to send someone to confirm whether Cao Cao is still alive in the world.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lu Rui and Cao Ren arched their hands and thanked Cao Cao. (To be continued......)
