Night.

Under the cover of night, some unknown and world-related things are quietly going on.

Modern timekeeping is around 1 o'clock in the morning, in Cao Cao's tent. At this time, the camp was brightly lit and full of people. From Cao Cao below, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Xuan, Li Dian, Le Jin, Li Shuangmu, and the generals wore armor and pressed their swords, with solemn expressions. Cao Cao walked around in front of the case, obviously uneasy. Even Cao Cao knew very well how much of what was about to happen next would have a significant impact on him, it was really "one step to heaven, one step to hell", how could he be calm? The rest of the generals were clubbed like statues. Because Cao Cao is here, all they have to do is do what they are told.

Only Li Shuangmu was the same as Cao Cao, thinking about it. Earlier, the hidden guard came to report that a Dongying ninja had infiltrated Cao Cao's tent and stayed for twenty minutes before leaving safely. Due to the heavy security, Li Shuangmu didn't know what the Dongying ninja came to Cao Cao for. It's not easy for the hidden guards to intercept the Dongying ninja. In the next two hours, Cao Cao frequently convened his cronies and generals to discuss secretly. Li Shuangmu was also summoned by Cao Cao, but he was given the task of sticking to his headquarters. Obviously, Cao Cao is about to make a big move. And what made Li Shuangmu particularly concerned was the matter of "Dongying ninjas infiltrating Cao Cao's camp", and he was eighty percent sure that it was related to Yin Kuang

During this period, Cao Cao asked Li Shuangmu to run an errand again and handed over a secret letter to Liu Bei. Even if Li Shuangmu wanted to know the contents of the secret letter very much, she could only hold back and didn't open it to look at it, so she handed it over to Wang Ning and sent it out. Wang Ning also seemed to know that Li Shuang had not been good during this time, and he was very cooperative.

Li Shuangmu felt that if he didn't guess wrong, Cao Cao was going to fight back! He thought that Cao Cao would have to lie dormant for at least a few days before fighting back, but he didn't expect that he couldn't hold back that night. Obviously, the sentence "The jade seal of the true heirloom country is in the hands of Yuan Benchu" stimulated Cao Cao a lot. Perhaps this made him realize that if he didn't make a timely move, he was afraid that Yuan Shao would eat all the bones and dregs left. This obviously has a source from the original book (referring to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms), and Cao Cao never had a real falling out with the alliance of princes until the end of the original work, but now when he is really facing a desperate situation, this late Han dynasty hero finally shows his fangs.

So among them, did Yin Kuang and them play some kind of role?

At a certain moment, a spy came to report that seven points of light had risen in the southeastern sky, and with a soft "hum" remembered that they were in the warm but deserted tent. Cao Cao no longer lingered, stood still, pressed the hilt of the sword with his hand, and said, "Zilian, you lead twenty personal soldiers, follow me to meet Your Majesty!" Cao Hong said: "Lord, is it ...... to only receive twenty" Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "It's okay." Then he glanced at everyone and shouted in a low voice: "Generals, act according to the plan!" Life and death, honor and disgrace, just fight here! ”

"May I die for the Lord!"

Immediately, Cao Cao and Cao Hong went out of the tent together, turned over on the horse, led twenty elite soldiers, and left the village with a torch. And the direction of the trip is where Yuan Shao's camp is located.

The camps of the alliance army of the princes show a chessboard distribution. There is a huge wooden fence on the outermost part, and the camps are isolated from each other during this period. Obviously, they are guarding against each other. There was a wide road between the camps for the soldiers to pass through. At the same time, they can monitor each other and move around. Under these circumstances, it is almost impossible to move a large number of troops silently. Therefore, after Cao Cao and the other twenty-two horsemen left the camp, the news was quickly placed on the bedside desks of the various princes. One by one, the princes wondered: What is this Cao Apo going to do? But everyone is just curious, and they are not worried in the slightest. Because Cao Cao's team only had twenty-two people, no one thought that he could do anything earth-shattering.

Yuan Shao naturally received a report from Kuaima in the shortest possible time. However, Cao Cao's speed was obviously faster than he imagined. As soon as he finished reading the bamboo slips that came up in the report, the guard at the gate of the village came to ask for a meeting, saying that Cao Cao had arrived outside the door. Yuan Shao frowned and inhaled, wondering why this Cao Jili didn't go to sleep and came here to do it so late? A wave of dissatisfaction ensued. With a heavy snort, he threw the bamboo slip forward, and ordered someone to take the coat, but he walked out of the big tent without armor or a sword. Then he came to the gate of the village under the support of the guards.

"Brother Mengde!"

"Yuan Alliance Master!"

The two called each other and saluted. Both of them are people with status and reputation, and they pay special attention to courtesy. Unless there is a deep blood feud with each other, it is inevitable to give up when they meet.

The cold wind was swishing in the middle of the night, and Yuan Shao didn't have time to be polite with Cao Cao, and said, "I don't know what Brother Meng De is doing here late at night?" Cao Cao curled his beard and said, "You have never had it." Cao Moufei came to meet the leader of the Yuan League. I really remembered a great event, and I was anxious to meet Your Majesty. Disturbing the rest of the Yuan League Master, Cao is guilty. Yuan Shao's brows furrowed even deeper, "Brother Meng De isn't joking, right?" Now that the time has passed, His Majesty has long since rested. It's a little inappropriate for you to suddenly meet you at this moment, right? As he said this, he wondered what Cao Cao was going to do.

Cao Cao said: "Cao also knows recklessness. However, this matter is of great importance and has a bearing on the community, and it must be brought to His Majesty as soon as possible and in a timely manner. Let Yuan Meng laugh. The meaning of that sentence is clearly "This is too big, you Yuan Shao can't hold it." said that he took a step forward, obviously wanting Yuan Shao to make way. How will Yuan Shao give way? He had the intention of framing Cao Cao. Although in the end, he failed to let His Majesty give Cao Cao death, but also forbade Cao Cao's feet. Yuan Shao knew very well that Cao Cao would not stop there. But he didn't expect Cao Cao to act so quickly. Could it be that he found something?

Yuan Shaohu's face was closed, and he was there like a pestle like a door god.

"Yuan Alliance Master, why are you?" Cao Cao asked suspiciously. I'm here to see the emperor, not you, what are you stopping?

In fact, if it was before, Cao Cao's behavior would have been punished. If it weren't for a military event, who would dare to disturb the emperor's rest in the middle of the night. But in today's chaotic situation, many things are different. On the contrary, Cao Cao wanted to meet His Majesty, but Yuan Shao obstructed him, and it was Yuan Shao who was wrong. If it really spreads, it won't be possible for Yuan Shao to have a resounding reputation as "imprisoning the emperor".

So, one threatened to have a "big event" to meet His Majesty, but the other said that "it is unreasonable to disturb the rest of the Holy Lord in the middle of the night", and the two confronted each other at the gate of the wall. In the end, Yuan Shaoyue became more and more angry, "Cao Mengde, you keep saying that there is a military plane to meet the Holy Lord, what are you saying that you want to disturb Your Majesty's rest at such an hour?" Cao Cao also hardened up and said: "Master Yuan, although Cao is rude, he does have important things to do for Your Majesty, why are you blocking it left and right?" ”

Just when the two were arguing, they heard the sound of galloping horses. Everyone looked at it, but it was three extraordinary figures galloping in the light of the firelight, and there were not many followers led by them, the same twenty personal soldiers.

"What are they doing at this time?" Yuan Shao frowned. From the cold air of the night, he suddenly smelled a smell of conspiracy, and immediately snorted coldly in his heart: "I want to see what the hell you guys are doing!" ”

The person who came was Liu Guanzhang and a group of personal soldiers. However, although there are few people, Guan Yu Zhang Fei is a general of ten thousand enemies and should not be underestimated.

"Lord Yuan, Lord Cao!" Liu Bei dismounted and greeted politely. There was no trace of the prior agreement with Cao Cao.

After being polite for a while, Yuan Shao asked Liu Bei about his intentions. Liu Bei only said, "Just now, I sent important news to the fine work in Dong Thief's army, and I need to report it to Your Majesty immediately, and Your Majesty will decide" Yunyun. Liu Bei's politeness is more detailed than Cao Cao's simple sentence of "military aircraft events", but it is more worthy of belief.

Yuan Shao can stop him when he comes alone, but when the two of them arrived one after another, they both said that there was something important, and Yuan Shao couldn't stop him if he wanted to. Yuan Shao knew that what happened here must not be hidden from the other princes. Maybe a dozen other princes are already rushing here. It doesn't matter if you deal with Cao Cao or Liu Bei by yourself, but if you forcibly stop them from meeting the emperor, I am afraid that it will attract the dissatisfaction of other princes - after all, the emperor is now everyone, not his Yuan Shao's!

In the end, Yuan Shao could only grit his teeth and say "please". At the same time, people take it and put it on a formal dress. He wanted to see what the military aircraft did with these two people.

After a short time, the three of them came to the big tent of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty together. The guards outside are Yuan Shao's cronies. Not only these, but even the eunuchs and palace maids who served the little emperor's daily life were all found by Yuan Shao.

"Three adults, please!" A little eunuch said respectfully and entered the account.

Yuan Shao took the opportunity to look at Cao Cao and Liu Bei, but he didn't see anything unusual. But at this moment, a scream suddenly came from the big tent. In an instant, Liu Guanzhang, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others were outrageous, and the wind and clouds around the big tent surged, killing Zongheng. Even the surrounding bonfires are spitting and swaying, and they are about to be extinguished.

Then the little eunuch ran out with a rolling belt, and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, he ......"

"What's wrong with Your Majesty? Say! Yuan Shao shouted.

"Your Majesty, he's gone!"

"Ahh

Yuan Shao was immediately struck by lightning, threw the eunuch away, and rushed into the account without caring about anything else. When he saw that the bed was empty, Yuan Shao only felt that the breath in his body was disordered, and he couldn't go up or down in one breath.

"This ...... This ......" In an instant, his thoughts turned, and since he stared at Cao Cao who was following closely, he shouted: "Cao Jili, where did you hide Your Majesty?" ”

How can it be such a coincidence?! As soon as Cao Cao came, the emperor disappeared. Almost without thinking about it, Yuan Shao knew that the emperor's disappearance had something to do with Cao Cao.
