Chapter 820: Cutting the Door
In the city of Xudu, a carriage surrounded by hundreds of guards, slowly marched towards the entrance of the market.
It was none other than Liu Xie, who offended Cao Cao because of the edict of the cloth.
Early in the morning, Liu Xie got Cao Cao's gift, and Dong Cheng and others would be beheaded at noon.
Liu Xie was unwilling to watch Dong Cheng and others killed, but Cao Cao had people forcibly take him out of the palace.
Since the edict, Cao Cao's attitude towards Liu Xie has changed greatly, and what Liu Xie was unwilling to do in the past, Cao Cao may still have some consideration and will not force him to do it.
But now, even if he doesn't want to do it anymore, as long as Cao Cao feels that he should do it, he has to do it.
is also a puppet, Liu Xie in the past, when he was a puppet, he could still soothe his muscles and bones a little, but now Liu Xie is completely controlled by Cao Cao.
There was also a woman in the car with Liu.
This woman is about eighteen or nineteen years old, she is as pretty as a fairy, and she is dressed in a pink palace dress, which sets off her white face as jade.
Seeing Liu Xie's sad face, the woman's face was also very bad.
"Your Majesty ......" The carriage slowly moved along the bluestone road, and the woman whispered to Liu Xie: "Dong Cheng and the others are defeated, if Your Majesty does not kill them according to Cao Cao's words, I think Cao Cao will be unfavorable to Your Majesty!" ”
It was none other than Liu who was in the car, it was his queen Fu.
Looking up at Fu Shi with a worried face, Liu Xiechang sighed and said, "Dong Cheng and the others want to kill Cao Cao for me, how can I bear to kill them?" ”
Although Liu Xie has always been a puppet since he ascended the throne, Fu Shi is also single-minded towards him.
As Liu Xie's woman, Dong Guiren and his father Dong Cheng have already made efforts for him to get rid of the puppet.
Dong Cheng is about to be beheaded by the whole house, and Dong Guiren is now nowhere to be found.
In the past few days, every time she passed by Dong Guiren's former residence in the palace, Queen Fu would have a sigh in her heart.
"Your Majesty ......" was silent for a long time, and Queen Fu whispered to Liu Xie: "My father is now outside, and he also has a little soldiers and horses in his hands......
"No words!" As soon as Fu Shi's words came out, Liu Xie hurriedly covered her mouth, and whispered with a panicked face: "Dong Cheng and the others have already died for me, don't you want to be like Dong Guiren?" ”
The small mouth was covered by Liu Xie, and Queen Fu opened her eyes, and sure enough, she didn't speak.
Seeing that Queen Fu didn't speak again, Liu Xie let out a long breath and whispered to her: "Don't talk nonsense anymore!" ”
Looking at Liu Xie with round eyes, Queen Fu nodded heavily.
She knew that Liu Xie was worried that she would also be killed by Cao Cao, so she didn't let her speak nonsense, and she had an extra layer of plans to help Liu Xie in her heart.
While Liu Xie and Empress Fu were marching to the entrance of the market, Cao Cao also led Guo Jia and others out of the official mansion.
Riding a tall horse, Cao Cao frowned tightly all the way.
Guo Jia, who was following behind him, saw that his face was a little unkind, and asked in a low voice: "Ming Gong has been frowning since he went out, what is the matter?" ”
"Your Majesty wants to kill so-and-so, and so-and-so still can't figure it out!" Turning his head to look at Guo Jia, Cao Cao said: "Over the years, a certain person has done his best, just to restore the foundation of the Great Han Dynasty, and His Majesty is just sitting on the throne, why is he so unwise, listening to the words of the villain, intending to kill Yu?" ”
Hearing Cao Cao's words, Guo Jia smiled slightly and did not speak.
He knew very well in his heart why Liu Xie wanted to kill Cao Cao, and he was convinced that Cao Cao knew what the reason was.
The reason why Cao Cao said such a thing was nothing more than to express his dissatisfaction with Liu Xie and inform others that Liu Xie should not kill him at all.
In this case, if Guo Jia also picks it up, it can only be said that he has a brain problem.
Originally, he didn't plan to get an answer from Guo Jia, Cao Cao sighed lightly, rode on horseback, and was silent for a moment before saying: "Xudu is close to Luoyang, and this is very close to Xuzhou, so it is really a good place to build a capital!" ”
"Ming Gong means to move the capital?" As soon as Cao Cao's words fell, Guo Jia asked in a low voice: "I don't know where Ming Gong wants to move the capital?" ”
"How's Yecheng?" Guo Jia guessed his mind at once, Cao Cao did not hide him, and whispered to him: "Yecheng is close to Hebei, we will definitely advance to Hebei in the future, move the capital early, or ......."
Before Cao Cao could finish speaking, Guo Jia interrupted him in a whisper and said to him: "Ming Gong's intention to plot against Hebei is the beginning of the great cause, but Yuan Shao in Hebei has many soldiers and generals, not comparable to Yuan Shu and others in Huainan. Hebei Siting Zhu, it is even more martial and brave, and Yuan Shao has Tian Feng, frustration, trial and other wise people in front of the account, if you want to plot Hebei, you still need to make plans early. ”
"What does Bonghyo mean ......?" From Guo Jia's words, Cao Cao heard that he did not approve of moving the capital to Yecheng, frowned slightly, and asked him: "Can't you move the capital to Yecheng?" ”
"Yecheng is close to Hebei, which is an excellent location for the capital!" Looking at Cao Cao, Guo Jia rode slowly with him and said to him: "It's just that Yuan Shao has not yet been pacified, and the Ming Duke can't talk about moving the capital yet!" ”
After listening to Guo Jia's words, Cao Cao's brows furrowed slightly, and he asked in a low voice: "Why?" ”
"Yuan Shao has more soldiers and horses than Ming Gong, and the brave generals are not much less than Ming Gong's command. There are even more people who are wise and worried, and Ming Gong wants him, I'm afraid it's not easy! After following Cao Cao for a long time, he already knows his temperament very well, Guo Jia said without concealment: "If you want to plot against Yuan Shao, Ming Gong should start with Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang!" ”
Looking at Guo Jia, Cao Cao didn't ask why he wanted to learn from Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, but just silently waited for Guo Jia to say it himself.
"Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang are two brothers, and they are currently competing for the right reserve!" Looking at Cao Cao, Guo Jia whispered: "Although there are many wise people in front of Yuan Shao's account, they are divided into two factions, one faction will pass on his status to Yuan Tan in the future, and the other faction will advocate handing it over to Yuan Shang. Between the two brothers, only Yuan Xi mediated it, and if Ming Gong went to put on a fire......"
At this point, Guo Jia didn't say anything more, but a smile appeared on his face.
Although Guo Jia didn't finish his words, Cao Cao immediately understood what he meant, his eyes suddenly opened, and he said to Guo Jia: "Feng Xiao is really a certain shareholder, and Yuan Shao and Yuan Shao are going to have a battle after all, and now Yuan Shao and his sons are fighting for power, and they should indeed plot as soon as possible!" ”
Cao Cao had already understood what he meant, Guo Jia didn't say anything more, just smiled slightly, and followed Cao Cao slowly towards the entrance of the city market.
When he arrived at the entrance of the market, Cao Cao saw hundreds of people kneeling on the execution ground that had already been arranged.
If it is Liu Bian, I am afraid that hundreds of people will be released in a short time, and only a dozen or so remain, but Cao Cao is not Liu Biao after all.
Dong Cheng and others wanted to kill him, which shook his status and prestige.
If he doesn't be ruthless this time, let the world know that there is only a dead end to go against him, and those who dare to secretly attack him in the future will not be the only ones like now.
Riding a horse to the entrance of the market, Cao Hong, who had already set up a guard nearby, strode towards Cao Cao.
"Cao Gong!" When he arrived in front of Cao Cao's horse, Cao Hong bowed to him with his fists in his fists, and said loudly: "Dong Cheng and others have been escorted, and all the family members have been brought with them, totaling 793 people. ”
Nodding to Cao Hong, Cao Cao looked around at the nearly 1,000 people kneeling at the entrance of the market, his brows twisted slightly.
Among the nearly 1,000 people, except for women and children, all of them were crying sadly, but all men knelt straight, straightened their chests one by one, and put on a posture of generosity to die.
The purpose of killing these people is to deter the eunuchs who think the same way as them.
If they are allowed to stand so upright, not only will they not have the desired effect, but they will also make more people feel that they want to plot against Cao Cao, and there is an absolute reason.
Turning over and jumping off the horse, Cao Cao asked Cao Hong, "Can you arrange how to execute Dong Cheng?" ”
"Return to Cao Gong!" Cao Cao asked how to execute Dong Cheng, and Cao Hong hugged his fists and responded: "Dong Cheng, Wang Zifu and others are the first evil, and they should be divided into five horses!" ”
"Has His Majesty come?" Cao Cao nodded, and did not say much about how the execution would be carried out, but only asked about Liu Xie's whereabouts lightly.
"Your Majesty is already on the way!" Maintaining the posture of clenching his fists and bowing, Cao Hong said to Cao Cao: "Wait a while, Your Majesty and Queen Fu will come to the execution ground!" ”
"It's time for His Majesty to see a certain execution and rebellion!" Knowing that Liu Xie would also be here in a moment, Cao Cao pouted and smiled, and strode towards the viewing platform.
Guo Jia and the others who came here with Cao Cao also followed him when they saw him walking towards the execution platform.
Sitting down on the execution platform, Cao Cao's eyes turned to Dong Cheng, who was kneeling not far in front of him.
Locked in the prison for several days, Dong Cheng was also tortured, kneeling on the execution ground, his hair was scattered, although he changed into a clean prison uniform, but the wound on his cheek made people see that he must have suffered a lot of torture.
Cao Cao looked at Dong Cheng, and Dong Cheng also shifted his gaze to his face.
With a bright red wound on his face that was drawn out by the whip, when he looked at Cao Cao, Dong Cheng was full of anger, and when he saw Cao Cao looking at him, he turned his head and spat heavily to the side.
Dong Cheng spittle, Cao Cao just smiled coldly, but did not speak, a Cao Jun standing beside him saw it, but he glared at him, strode in front of him, and was about to slap him in the face.
"It doesn't have to be like this!" As soon as the Cao soldier slapped, Cao Cao, who was sitting on the execution platform, said unhurriedly: "With the dying person, there is no need to be angry!" ”
Hearing Cao Cao say this, Cao Jun, who picked up his arm, put down his arm, glared at Dong Cheng fiercely, took a step to the side, and stood beside Dong Cheng.
