"Xu Bowen, isn't it rumored that you are dead?" Dong Cheng immediately shouted, this sentence was definitely blurted out.

Now even the last bit of comfort in my heart is gone, even Xu Bowen is not dead, you Cao Cao can't act now, right!?

My people......

Dong Cheng's heart tightened, and he felt that he couldn't breathe, and after a while, his forehead was already sweating.

The main thing is gas.

"Who said I was dead?"

Xu Zhen immediately hugged his fist at the Son of Heaven and said: "The news came out at that time, but it was not true. ”

"Your Majesty, the assassin was almost able to succeed when he was attacked, but fortunately he was born in the army, ran around the pillar, and opened the distance between him and the assassin, after which the assassin saw that the assassination could not be successful, and ran out."

"It is to chase and kill Jin Wuwei under his command, these people have no way to go, but to flee to His Majesty's bedroom."

After Xu Zhen said this, Dong Chengren was about to faint.

Assassins can't kill you, and killing three hundred of my internal guards can wipe out the whole army.

Scold again!?

"The internal guards under the command of Dong Guozhang are definitely loyal to the dead, so they can protect His Majesty without fear of death, and the assassins are also chased to the corner, so they will fight to the death."

"After that, I found a secret order from these dead bodies, which is an order from Huaiyang Yuan Shu."

"He ordered the assassination of the Son of Heaven, and the assassination of me first should be to provoke hatred between Dong Guozhang and me."

Xu Zhen said with a calm face and with great certainty.

Hatred between us still needs to be provoked?

Dong Cheng can be said to have cold hands and feet at the moment, but he is still staring at Xu Zhen.

"I see," Cao Cao put his hands behind his back and nodded to Xu Zhen, "Then it's not strange." ”

He glanced at Liu Xie, bowed slightly, and said, "Your Majesty may not know something. ”

"When I welcomed His Majesty into the capital of Xudu to settle down, I flawlessly took into account the military defense of Xuzhou, and even the walls of many cities were not able to be repaired and built, so I let Yuan Shu take advantage of the opportunity to advance the territory from Yangzhou Shouchun to the north for dozens of miles."

"He also took in Lu Bu, the thief general of the year, thinking that he was the vanguard and ordered him to attack the city, his heart was uneasy, and his ambition was not small."

Liu Xie was stunned for a moment, and then showed a suddenly realized expression on the main seat, "No wonder Yuan Shu has never come to pay tribute, in fact, he is not satisfied with me." ”

"Or, I had too much competition with Cao Aiqing before, and I didn't dare to come to Feng, but now I am thinking about assassinating me."

"At the same time, the soldiers and horses moved north, in a vain attempt to occupy the land of Xuzhou, so that the government of the capital could be disrupted and the land of Xuzhou could be seized."

Cao Cao laughed, his eyes full of relief, "Your Majesty, Shengming, this plan is nothing more than messing with me and taking advantage of the situation." ”

"But what Yuan Shu didn't expect was that he met Dong Guozhang, who was loyal and righteous!"

Dong Cheng: "......"

Cao Cao continued: "Dong Guozhang used three hundred internal guards to kill Yuan Shu's assassins, protect His Majesty's peace, and return me to peace, so that I can better go to Xuzhou to guard against Yuan Shu and prevent his wolf ambitions from being realized." ”

Yang Biao was also shocked in his heart at this time, and naturally had some guesses, but he understood that the words had already been said to this point, and there was no point in impeaching Cao Cao in the palace.

Because of the security garrison in the imperial city, only Jin Wuwei is left, and now Jin Wu is still Cao Cao's eldest son, the real family member.

Therefore, he arched his hand quite calmly and said: "From this point of view, this assassination is a misunderstanding, but fortunately, Your Majesty is safe, which is the greatest blessing." ”

"I waited to enter the palace to see me, but I was also worried about the safety of His Majesty, as for the internal guards...... The bereavement should be posthumously sealed to reassure him, and then the palace guards still need to choose another man. ”

"No."

Xu Zhen immediately shook his head and said: "Tai Lieutenant, the lower officials are brave, the guards of a place need to be like a general's arm to eliminate the obstruction, otherwise the military order cannot be conveyed, and there are always two orders to be passed on from one to another, and they conflict with each other, how is it good?" ”

"Besides, Dong Guozhang has lost so many cronies and internal guards now, how can he transfer people from other armies? Wouldn't it make it unavailable to the national army? ”

"I suggest that if you want to transfer the internal guard of the national abbot, then transfer the general to lead the army in the national abbot army, so that you can take care of both sides."

You're right.

Yang Biao looked at Xu Zhen calmly, and was choked for the time being.

If you want to arrange internal guards again, unless you hand over Dong Cheng's soldiers and horses to Cao Cao to receive, right?

Saying this, both of them fell into confusion, but at this time, Cao Cao smiled, straightened his chest and said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry about the lack of generals to lead the troops, I have received a letter tonight and am about to inform Your Majesty." ”

"Aiqing, please speak!"

Where does Liu Xie dare to ignore Cao Cao now, as long as he speaks, he must talk to him first, otherwise it will be difficult to live if he is angry.

Now in the entire imperial city, they are Cao Cao's cronies and internal guards, and the eunuchs serving in the harem don't know how many have joined Cao Cao's door.

The concubines are only Concubine Dong and Queen Fu who can be regarded as their own people, and in addition, it seems that all of them have been washed clean overnight tonight.

I can't investigate yet, I don't dare to complain, even if I guess that it may be someone killed by Jin Wuwei, I have to be grateful with tears.

Cao Cao smiled: "Wancheng Zhang Xiu has written a letter to apologize to me and ask for the return of the Son of Heaven. ”

"I've forgiven him."

What?!

Dong Cheng's action of grabbing his beard suddenly stiffened, so much so that he almost tore off a slightly pale beard, this news was really more heart-wrenching than the death of all his internal guards.

How so!?

Zhang Xiu didn't rebel, rebelled against Cao and set up an ambush, the original news would never be wrong, he almost killed Cao Cao, Cao Ang and his son, and even Dian Wei was almost killed.

I don't know how many people in the world are sighing, if they can really succeed, after all of them are killed, Zhang Xiu will definitely become famous.

Of course, some people think that Cao Cao can't die in the first place, anyone can die, but Cao Cao won't die, because once Zhang Xiu kills Cao Cao, he will be retaliated by Cao's crazy revenge, and at that time Liu Biao will definitely not resist with him, but will only let him die.

Most people see this very clearly.

The bird hides the bow, the truth has been the same since ancient times.

But now in this situation, no one could have imagined, how could Zhang Xiu be embarrassed to come to Chengcheng?!

And Cao Cao still agreed?! Do you have such a big heart?! They almost killed your nephew and killed your warrior general!

Could it be- have been lying to me!?

Dong Cheng's legs shook, and when he went to see Cao Cao again at this time, he happened to see his scrutinizing eyes staring at him, which made Dong Cheng's heart empty, and he hurriedly avoided his gaze, but he was covered in cold sweat.

Then he struck a spirit.

An inexplicable fear crept through my mind.

"I'm not Dong Zhuo, how can I be as brave and ignorant as him."

Cao Cao said this sentence in front of him.

Thinking of this, Dong Cheng's hands and feet became more and more cold.

After Cao Cao's defeat in the army, he returned to Wancheng and was already arranging things in the city, perhaps in his opinion, Wancheng could not be conquered, but the war failed, and he could find victory on the other side.

So after returning to Xudu, the whole person was silent a lot, and in the face of ridicule and acting secretly in the eyes of hundreds of officials, he was not moved at all, and he didn't say a word about the school affairs that he wanted to mention.

gave people the illusion of restlessness and lack of momentum, so they hooked the scholars to start plotting and let them take Xu Zhen away, but Cao Cao had already secretly exchanged letters with Zhang Xiu, and then persuaded him to surrender.

After that, the internal guard appeared, and Cao Cao was like a fish biting a hook.

And the purpose is to focus on these internal guards, especially the internal guards are all elite old acquaintances in Dong Chengjun, and a batch of them will come out at this time, just enough to close the net and kill them all.

Subsequently, Xu Zhen came back and angered Dong Cheng with Dian Wei and fought hard, making the whole city think that the contradictions between the two parties were irreconcilable.

That night, he sent someone to assassinate him, and this assassin was simply a dead soldier cultivated by Cao Cao!

Blame Yuan Shu.

Now let's take out Wancheng's exploits to talk about things, Zhang Xiu has come to surrender, so the defeat of Wancheng can no longer exist, because Zhang Xiu lost his mind and assassinated Cao Cao, but then came to vote, Cao Cao actually agreed.

This kind of mind is also seen by everyone in the world, Xu Zhen is fine, and Zhang Xiu can be forgiven.

Who wouldn't want to defect to the Cao family?

With such a big mind, I am afraid that he can advocate the status of a historical sage, which made Cao Cao's prestige rise invisibly, and at the same time controlled the internal guards of the court, completely depriving Dong Cheng of his backbone.

If you want to do something in the future, you must consider the problem that Xu Zhen said, it is natural to enter the internal guard, but the soldiers and horses in the army will be handed over to others.

Otherwise, how can there be so many elite veterans who can serve everywhere.

Moreover, how can such a thing be spoken, this is a complete contempt for the Son of Heaven and disregard for his safety.

Oops, noos......

He is really not Dong Zhuo.

He is much more treacherous than Dong Zhuo, as if he is trapping every step.

Every day, I am making plans, and no matter which step I take, I will fall into the trap.

Dong Cheng only felt that the coolness on his back was getting heavier and heavier.

This sense of disparity made him feel full of panic in his heart, and the six gods had no master.

From the joy of the internal guards occupying the court of the Son of Heaven at the beginning, to now there is nothing left, and the loss of elite henchmen has been hit hard, Dong Cheng was beaten by Dian Wei, and exchanged three hundred henchmen for the credit of loyalty to the monarch and the country.

Other than that, there is nothing left.

And he didn't dare to touch Dian Wei and Xu Zhen again, these two people made meritorious contributions in this assassination.

When they leave office and return to Chenliu, it is even more unlikely that they will be assassinated.

It was someone's territory, and the difficulty of assassination could be imagined, unless Xu Zhen hunted too far and ambushed him in the wild and shot him with an arrow.

This way can be done, the only regret is that Xu Zhen does not hunt.

It's a loss of nothing.

Dong Cheng secretly glanced at Yang Biao.

At this time, Yang Biao's eyes were also quite disappointed, after all, Yang Biao had been persuading him not to get carried away.

I didn't expect it to be now......

Cao Cao laughed: "You don't have to be so surprised, you are tolerant of people, broad-minded, these are all things that we should practice, there is a big man in my heart, I can tolerate my big Han people." ”

"In a few days, Zhang Xiu's children, and hundreds of veteran generals in the army, will be sent to Xudu, if Dong Guozhang is willing to send Su Guards to protect the Son of Heaven, then Weichen, will order these old ministers to lead the troops, how about it?"

Cao Cao smiled kindly, leaning forward slightly, as if he had a good relationship, offering advice to Dong Cheng to solve his current difficulties.

Dong Cheng's face twitched, and he said with a dry smile: "Ha, thank you Sikong for your kindness, but I really can't spare manpower, Your Majesty, please forgive me." ”

"The matter of the guard, as Xu Bowen said, can only be led by one person."

"If you join forces, you will be confused."

Liu Xie knelt down in a dejected manner, and for some reason, although there were candles around, he always felt that the light around him was a little darker.

"Haha, that's good, but Dong Guozhang is so great, the sun and the moon can be seen, and the loss of three hundred henchmen to protect the Son of Heaven, Weichen thinks that His Majesty should be rewarded."

Liu Xie sighed, forcibly stood up and said to Dong Cheng: "Aiqing, what do you want?" ”

Dong Cheng glanced at Cao Cao, lowered his body, and said, "For the time being, Weichen can't think of ......."

"Then, that's better, in the future, when I have something to reward, I will give it to Aiqing, and I will write it down for the time being."

Cao Cao nodded, noncommittal.

One night in the imperial city, the news went like a tide, and until the next day, almost all the officials in the city knew about it.

Xu Zhen did not die, and after killing the assassin, it was found out that Yuan Shu sent someone to do it, and he also forced Yuan Shu to ask one after another that Yuan Shu was in Xu Du, and there were many secret agents.

There are even rumors that some officials are secretly communicating with Yuan Shu and plotting against them, and some letters are in the city, which can be found out as long as they are searched.

This has caused panic in the hearts of many officials and made many officials feel uneasy.

After all, when they were in Chang'an, in order to get a way out, many people secretly contacted secret agents and got close to the Yuan brothers.

Naturally, there was a correspondence with Yuan Shu, and of course these letters were kept at home.

So before they went to the court, some officials had already burned the letters in their mansions, cut off their contacts, and sent people to expel the secret agents of Yuan Shu who they knew.

Cao Cao ordered people not to set up too strict guards at the city gates, only to search pedestrians, not officials, merchants, carriages, even if they were checked, they were only routine inquiries and cursory inspections, and would not be carefully searched.

After the hundred officials went to the court, many carriages took this opportunity to leave the capital.

When I arrived at the court, I learned that Wancheng had surrendered again, and Zhang Xiu's children were sent on the road, asking the Son of Heaven to confer his title, Wancheng's official position, and let Zhang Xiu return to the Han general.

The Son of Heaven sealed them one by one, and at the same time, he also heard that all of Dong Cheng's three hundred internal guards were killed last night, and they died together with the assassins who infiltrated the imperial city.

It's embarrassing for a while.

At this time, Xu Zhen had already left Xu Du and went to Chenliu with the old department.

This year, I am afraid that it was chosen to stay in Chen, and Xu Zhen's government office residence over there has already been repaired and rebuilt, which is even larger than that in Juancheng.

There are six courtyards alone, a small lake is introduced, it is said that the landscape ink scene, can not be ignored.

Dong Wan apologized at the beginning, and specially found someone to move the best red plum and snow as the landscape, and found the Jiangnan tea as a gift.

Put cloth, gold and silver in the house, and ask Xu Zhen to live first.

At the same time, it was also said that a woman came to ask for marriage, and Xu Zhen could take a concubine and start a family in the government office.

So before he went down, Xu Zhen was already on the way.

And he was furious and hurried. I don't take any gifts! Now that I am so flattering, I feel uneasy! It's worse than killing him! Absolutely not!

So Xu Zhen first let Xia Houen go on horseback, and he couldn't let Dong visit his reputation!

All the gold and silver will be returned, what is the snow and red plum, and the tribute tea is not wanted!

The matter of taking concubines is simple.

……

I'm pig-nosed, and I'm sleeping straight to a point, probably too tired...... But it doesn't matter, I've woken up and gone crazy! Let's get started!!
