After Sima Yi, Cao Cao, and Lu Bu came to Chang'an, they performed their duties and handled military affairs in an orderly manner.

Cao Cao and Lu Bu personally led the soldiers in the school field every day to conduct martial arts training, and Cao Cao and Lu Bu lived with the soldiers every day, ate together, and cared about the daily life of the soldiers.

Li Baohu was very relieved to see Cao Cao and the others leading the troops so hard.

However, how could Cao Cao, who has always been ambitious, live under others for a long time, he and Lu Bu led the troops so carefully, in fact, in order to one day, let the soldiers be used by me.

Although Sima Yi saw through Cao Cao's true intentions, he did not expose his conspiracy in front of Li Baohu. The reason why Sima Yi chose this way is because in the old Wei Dynasty, the person who appreciated him the most was Cao Cao, and Cao Cao had the grace of knowing him. Moreover, compared with Cao Cao and Li Baohu, Cao Cao is more ambitious and scheming, and if he chooses one of the two, Sima Yi will naturally be inclined to Cao Cao.

If, as the head of a country, Cao Cao's true intentions could not be detected and seen through, then Sima Yi's own future prospects would be so precarious. You don't have to think about it to find out.

Lu Bu was controlled by Cao Cao because of blood witchcraft, and naturally Lu Bu would always be on Cao Cao's side.

Sima Yi ignored Cao Cao, and Cao Cao and Lu Bu gradually grasped military power, and the consequence was naturally that the entire Tang Dynasty was actually under Cao Cao's control.

Li Baohu indulged in indulgence in indulgence and enjoyment every day, and gradually became lazy and tired of the government.

Empress Shangguan Wan'er saw that Li Baohu was so depraved and sinking, and was ready to admonish him. On this day, Shangguan Wan'er came to the front hall where Li Baohu was, the dancing girls in the hall were dancing, the sheng flute and drums were playing, and Li Baohu was leaning on the dragon couch at this time and pushing the cup with the concubine on the side to change the cup.

Shangguan Wan'er was angry for a while, and said to everyone in the palace: "This palace has something to discuss with Your Majesty, you all retreat." ”

When the people in the hall heard this, they looked at the people who came here, and it turned out that the mother of the main palace was here, and they were suddenly silent, and they walked outside the hall one after another.

The concubine next to the dragon couch, relying on His Majesty's new favorite of herself, deliberately turned a deaf ear to Shangguan Wan'er's words, and still pushed the wine bottle in her hand to the corner of Li Baohu's mouth.

Seeing this, Shangguan Wan'er angrily reprimanded: "Come on, drag this concubine down and whip her ten times." ”

After Shangguan Wan'er finished speaking, two guards flashed in from outside the hall and went straight to the concubine next to the dragon couch. Before Li Baohu could wake up, the maid had already been dragged down from the dragon couch by the guards.

The concubine kept exclaiming, "Your Majesty save me", and it wasn't until she was about to be dragged out of the palace that Li Baohu realized what was happening.

"Queen, what do you mean by this, send everyone away, let Gu drink?" Li Baohu said with displeasure on his face.

"Your Majesty, you indulge in the desolation of politics all day long, and you are closed here, and in the long run, the country will be in danger." Shangguan Wan'er admonished.

"I thought that what was the matter, the queen should not worry, there are Sima Junshi and General Cao sitting outside, what worries does Datang have, come, you sit here and drink this cup with Guman." Li Baohu said drunkly.

"Oh, Your Majesty, why don't you understand, it's because they control the government that the concubines are doubly worried, do you have a full understanding of them? and give them a heavy responsibility. Besides, the concubine heard that Cao Cao is not a person who has lived below others for a long time, can you ensure that this person will not have two hearts for you in the future? Now, the country is newly defeated and surrounded by enemies everywhere, you should be diligent in government affairs, command the troops, and not let down your father's trust in you. Shangguan Wan'er said bitterly.

"Queen, don't you know, it was my father who asked me to find Sima Junshi, my father said, with Sima Junshi's assistance, you can sit back and relax, queen, come and come, sit here, just accompany Gu to have a drink? Otherwise, you will be condemned to disobey the decree. Li Baohu said.

When Shangguan Wan'er heard this, she sighed, turned around and walked out of the hall.

After Shangguan Wan'er left, Li Baohu lived as usual, living in drunken dreams and death, and there were loyal admonitors in the court, all of whom were prevaricated by him outside the palace.

Cao Cao took this opportunity to frantically befriend the ministers of the court and the central government, and gradually cultivated his wings.

After a month, Cao Cao and Lu Bu were ready to invite Li Baohu to their mansion for a banquet, saying that they had obtained a treasure by chance, which was rare in the world, and if His Majesty could like it, he would immediately send someone to the palace.

Cao Cao had already bought off the concubines around Li Baohu, and on this day, the maid told him the news that Cao Cao had even gotten a treasure, and it happened that Cao Cao sent someone to send an invitation, and Li Baohu was curious and accepted Cao Cao's invitation.

The next day, Li Baohu really came to Cao Cao's mansion as promised, and when Shangguan Wan'er heard about it, she wanted to remind Li Baohu, but he had already stepped into Cao Cao's mansion. Shangguan Wan'er was worried, Cao Cao was scheming and ruthless, and Li Baohu was more than lucky, so she took a few people who were considerate of herself, and some fine soft silver, and hurriedly escaped from the palace under the pretext of going home to save her relatives, and did not know where to go.

What Li Baohu didn't know was that Cao Cao and Lu Bu had already discussed with each other, and they smashed the cup during the banquet and directly cut Li Baohu to the ground, and if anyone else was dissatisfied with the banquet, they would be executed together.

Halfway through the feast, Li Baohu was slightly drunk and said, "I heard that you have a treasure occasionally, why don't you take it out and let Gu Hui reward it." ”

"No, this treasure is rare in the world, the gold is incomparably expensive, and I will go and get it in person." Cao Cao smiled and clenched his fists and bowed.

Cao Cao came to the side room and said to the daring soldiers who had been waiting for a long time: "When I hear the sound of the cup breaking, I will get rid of everyone brought by Li Baohu during the banquet, and no one will be left." ”

The daredevils promised one by one.

When Cao Cao walked to the banquet with a porcelain covered with a silk handkerchief, he found that Li Baohu still looked unaware. So Cao Cao, with a shake of his hand, the porcelain he was holding slid down obliquely, and with a "bang", the porcelain suddenly fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

At the same time, countless Long Wu troops suddenly poured in from outside the main hall, and before Cao Cao's death army poured into the main hall, the Dragon Wu Army had already surrounded the death army. Before Cao Cao could react, Long Wujun had already put countless sharp blades on Cao Cao and Lu Bu's necks.

Li Baohu stood up from the banquet with an indifferent face, and said to Cao Cao and Lu Bu: "Gu never expected that you would still do it after all, and the loss of Gu was so heavy on you, all of them were put in prison and waiting to be released." ”

Cao Cao and Lu Bu were speechless, so they could only be tied up and pressed to the prison in vain, waiting to be released. The two of them couldn't figure out when Li Baohu saw through his intentions, and why he chose to do it at the last moment.

Since Cao Cao entered the palace, his every move has actually been firmly watched by one person, and he is Li Bai.
