"Humph!!"

Dong Cheng is also disillusioned at the moment, and I don't know if there is still room for reversal.

What is really desperate in his heart is that when great things happen, not everyone works together and always loses with internal ghosts.

Whether it was in Luoyang at that time, or later in Chang'an.

Or today's Xu Capital, it is like this.

If only everyone could be of the same mind.

Huh? That big man won't mess around.

Hateful!

The only thought now is almost to wait for those secret guards who have been planted in Xu Du to find a way to break out of Cao Cao's encirclement.

These people were all the dead soldiers arranged by the Fu family back then, they were loyal, and they each had a related code, and they were not easy to be discovered by the school.

These minions of the school government, no matter how powerful, it is impossible to predict the prophet.

Dong Cheng scolded Cao Cao angrily, but in fact, he had been thinking about how to get more people out of this disaster.

"Cao Mengde, someone is against you today, and there will definitely be another one in the future, although my Dong Cheng is defeated, the matter of loyalty to the Han is still there."

"Hahaha, you're too good at lifting yourself."

Cao Cao laughed directly and ridiculed, didn't even want to turn his head back to look at him, looked disdainful, looked at the front and said, "What kind of loyal people, aren't you also for your own status?" ”

"It's high-sounding, it's just for the sake of fame."

"But in the future, how many people can read Dong Cheng's good?"

"I'm afraid that what Qingshi remembers is nothing more than a stupid minister, is there anyone who burns incense for you?"

"Phew! I will turn my heart to Han, just for the Son of Heaven, will I be the same as you? ”

Cao Cao laughed again, this time he simply turned his head and glanced at Dong Cheng directly, and asked, "Then if you are dedicated to Han, why don't you go to seize the city for development and welcome the Son of Heaven by yourself?" Don't want to? ”

"I ......"

Dong Cheng's face changed slightly, and he was speechless for a while, not knowing how to answer, "I don't argue with a traitor like you!" Are you the same as Dong Thief? ”

"Ouch, be quiet," Cao Cao sighed rather boredly, losing interest.

This Dong Cheng's eloquence is not as good as Bowen's elixir.

"Just a few words over and over again, Dong Zhuo was condemned by the people of the world, and was crusaded against by the alliance of the princes of the Eighteen Roads, have you heard that the people in my territory have said half a bad word about the Cao family?"

"Humph! Sooner or later, you will be exposed, how can you Cao Cao really welcome the Son of Heaven? I don't believe it. ”

"Well, it's a pity, then you can't see it anymore," after Cao Cao finished saying this, he no longer had any words with Dong Cheng, no matter how he scolded him, Cao Cao just sat and steady, not chaotic at all.

He even wanted to close his eyes and recuperate, and his expression kept in a certain extremely calm state.

And so, the night passed.

When it was about to dawn, the palace gate opened, and hundreds of officials followed the school affairs to see them, and all the martial arts were among them.

Some of those old ministers already knew what happened last night, and some of them didn't.

It was with different expressions, walking slowly, and gathering at the school field.

After all, when you look up, you can see Cao Cao on the stairs, sitting peacefully in front of the main hall, and the Son of Heaven is behind him.

Such a scene, whether you know it or not, understand that today may not be easy.

At this time, while those courtiers had not yet stood up, Cao Cao turned his head to look at Dong Cheng, who was already exhausted and his eyes drooped, and asked with a smile: "Why don't you tell me who else is in the same party now, and I promise to protect your whole family." ”

Cao Cao's voice was very cold, this was already an ultimatum, and this was the last chance.

I'm afraid I won't ask again.

Dong Cheng opened his eyes and struggled to raise his head to scan the civil and military people standing under the stairs, and many sad eyes could be seen during the period.

Including Yang Biao, Sima Fang and others, as well as Zhong Xuan, Feng Ping and other old ministers who have gradually become neutral.

For a while, there was a sense of sadness.

"Hmph," Dong Cheng's lips were dry, his hair was scattered, his old face was still awe-inspiring, he stared at Cao Cao with great hatred, and said loudly: "Naturally, there are still people in the same party!" ”

"If you want to know, I'm not afraid to tell you!"

Standing in His Royal Highness's Wenwuli, many people's faces suddenly turned pale at this moment.

The corners of Cao Cao's mouth raised, and he nodded: "Okay, then you can talk about it, I'll hear who they are." ”

"The generals of the Xiliang princes, Ma Teng is in the column."

Cao Cao's face was stunned, and he immediately nodded.

"Imperial Doctor Jiping."

Well, this person is dead, and he must be right.

"The captain of Changshui is a kind of lieutenant, and he is a prince suit."

"Shang Shu Ling Xun Yu."

Cao Cao's eyes suddenly widened, he had always been suspicious of the name in front of him, and it was no different from what the school had found now.

And the name Xun Yu is very novel.

"The Xun clan is also a prince, and there is also Tingwei Zhong Xuan."

"And Shucheng Hou Xu Zhen."

Cao Cao suddenly laughed dumbly, "Isn't the prince talking nonsense, how can Xu Zhen be with you?" ”

"Hehe, Xu Bowen is in a high position, he is not a minister of the Cao family, how can he be such a smart person without a plan, otherwise if you Cao Cao dies in the future, who can suppress him?"

Cao Cao was silent.

He still didn't believe that Xu Zhen would rebel against him, but Dong Cheng's sentence was to the point.

Employing people without suspicion and suspicion is the purpose that has always been pursued.

But if the world is stable, it will no longer be possible to appoint talents in this way, and employing people in troubled times is completely different from employing people in governing the world.

However, Xu Zhen should still be his own family.

"Hmph, me and Bowen, me and Wen Ruo, all have a heart-to-heart relationship, how can you Dong Cheng slander with a word."

"I thought you were genuinely repentant."

"Hahaha!" Dong Cheng looked up to the sky and smiled, gradually stood up, and said: "My business, don't involve others to enter, Cao Mengde!" I knew you were ruthless, but I didn't expect you to be stupid. Beware of being assassinated by those around you! ”

"I, Dong Cheng, have revealed the matter, please give me a death immediately! These are the people you want! ”

"Whether you believe it or not, it has nothing to do with me! Please keep your promise! Take care of my family! ”

"Impossible!"

Cao Cao waved his hand to refuse, then sneered and said to Dong Cheng, "How can I give you another chance." ”

"If I hadn't let the school affairs supervise, I'm afraid you would have to plan for a long time, if you have to get a few more years of arrangement, I don't know what the result will be, but no matter the internal and external battles," Cao Cao got up and put his hands behind his back, and said angrily, "Since ancient times, the king has been defeated, and it should be like this, the Dong family is full of rebellious people, and they should be beheaded." ”

"And everyone, officials, how many assassins did I kill tonight with Jingo?" Cao Cao asked the humane on the side.

It was Xu Huang, the general under his command, who replied, clasping his fists and saying, "Three hundred and sixty-eight people." ”

"Well, good! Three hundred and sixty-eight people, all of whom were assassins trained by the Shi clan, with the purpose of going to the observation tower to assassinate my Cao Cao. ”

"Taiyi Jiping poisoned the decoction I eat on weekdays, and I have only been with him for more than a year, how can I be gullible?"

"Dong Cheng is the master of the conspiracy, and he is aware of the school incident and reported it, and I will punish him severely."

"All of the above people are usurpers and traitors, Your Majesty, what do you say?"

Liu Xie was suddenly called, and he was trembling on the golden couch, and his tears were about to shake out at this time.

At this time, looking at Cao Cao's back, he only felt that it was more terrifying than Dong Zhuo and the others.

Back then, Dong Zhuo was just rude and barbaric, tyrannical and tyrannical, plus he was careless of human life.

But if you cater to him and always be obedient, you can still have a lot of freedom behind your back.

But this Cao Mengde ...... But it does not leak, slowly encroaching until all the free space around it is squeezed.

Then you can really take control of it.

In this process, Cao Cao can even get a lot of popularity, and the people will not notice the slightest chaos.

Got everything quietly.

Terrible, terrible.

"I, I don't feel worth it for the prime minister! The prime minister has worked hard and is loyal to the monarch and the country, but he still has to suffer from this great disaster! It's really outrageous! ”

"I, I want to ask the prime minister to be gracious, although this matter is the mastermind of the national mastermind, but Concubine Dong doesn't know it, she already has a dragon seed in her stomach now, and I ask the prime minister not to behead all over the house."

"Huh?" Cao Cao frowned and glared back at Liu Xie.

And the dragon species?

Cao Cao suddenly seemed to not understand at this time, "What did Your Majesty say?" Dragon species? ”

"Is it planning to raise the dragon to avenge his Aung in the future? Kill my Cao family again? How can this be just? ”

Liu Xie was stunned for a moment.

He didn't expect that his words would kill Concubine Dong, if he didn't say this, I'm afraid it wouldn't be like this.

"Prime Minister! Prime minister! ”

Liu Xie immediately shouted a few words, but it was useless, after a team of tiger ben went straight to the palace, it was estimated that they went to arrest Concubine Dong.

"Cao thief! Don't you dare!!! ”

Dong Cheng drank loudly, and his eyes were about to crack at this time, but the guards on both sides had already cut his neck with knives.

The pain instinctively made Dong Cheng dare not move at all.

At this time, Cao Cao didn't seem to hear it, and then faced the ministers below, "Everyone, but there are still people who want to come out to persuade them??" ”

The people in the hall whispered, and they couldn't hear what was being said for the time being, but they were all pale and related.

"Captain!" Cao Cao got up, looked at it from afar, and said with a light smile: "Aren't you going to persuade you?" ”

"I, I ......" Yang Biao trembled at the moment, his expression panicked.

He was speechless, Dong Cheng didn't have a chance to discuss with him when he was doing this, and Yang Biao always felt that now was never the best time.

It should be a few years before the two great princes on both sides of the Yellow River begin a decisive battle, and then they will have a chance to attack Cao Cao.

At this time, it was too reckless, it was tantamount to falling for Cao Cao's tricks, and all the previous arrangements were in vain.

Unexpectedly, before he could tell Dong Cheng what he wanted in his heart, he had already reached the situation tonight.

"Nothing to say?"

Cao Cao leaned forward slightly, as if listening, but Yang Biao really remained silent, and seeing this, he directly grinned at Zhong Xuan and said, "Then, leave it to Ting Wei." ”

"All the officials whose official registration is in the Han nationality are all investigated by the court lieutenant, and the school office is observed, and the taiwei and the taifu are inevitable!"

Xun Yu was immediately stunned, and when Zhong Yu sent someone to start arresting him, he quickly walked up to Cao Cao, leaned over and asked: "Prime Minister, then my official status is also in the Han Court, do you want to go to the court captain......

"Oh, I almost forgot," Cao Cao smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Wen Ruo and I, just like a folk couple, you and I know the roots, why do you have to go to Tingwei to suffer, you don't have to go." ”

"Okay."

"Oh, Bowen doesn't need to look up, I'll inform the school administration and the court lieutenant."

"Okay."

Xun Yu bowed his head and said.

At this time, he glanced left and right at many officials, all of them were wailing bitterly, many old men were quite old, and their bodies were not too tough, if they went to Tingweili, they would have to suffer from prison.

At this moment, I can only shake my head and sigh.

I'm afraid that the countless people present will be extremely envious of Xu Bowen, he has already left Xu Du early and left such a place of right and wrong.

……

Jiujiang.

Shouchun City.

Xu Zhen rebuilt the city and used a large amount of property to resettle the people and build houses.

In March, countless houses were obtained, and more than 30 villages were re-established, all of which had not been named, but farmland had been reclaimed.

The ploughs were distributed to the people, and the seized ploughing cattle were collected and counted into the grain according to the general situation in Yanzhou that year.

Hundreds of thousands of people have been resettled.

As a result, the fame of Xu Zhen and Cao Ang spread to the Jiangnan area.

[20 consecutive days of governance, gain self-discipline +500, internal affairs +1, diplomacy +1]

As the prompt sound of the system sounded, Xu Zhen put down the government affairs in his hand.

Looking out the door, it was already sunset.

So there was no longer the slightest hesitation and went straight out.

Cao Ang had just come in through the door, ready to discuss recruiting troops with him.

Recruitment has always been quite enthusiastic, and now there are more than 40,000 soldiers and horses in Jiujiang County, most of them are newcomers, but there are only more than 6,000 cavalry.

And two thousand of them are still the elite of Xu Zhen's guard camp.

The other 4,000 were tiger and leopard rides brought by Cao Ang.

After the beginning of spring, news came from Xu Du's side that once the situation stabilized and Yuan Shao began to compete, it meant that the two needed to go back from Jiujiang.

At that time, it was necessary to set the guards of Hefei, and it was necessary to guard them with a great future, so that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu and other Jiangdong heroes would not have the possibility of taking the opportunity to go north.

"Brother, until now, there will hardly be any new soldiers, Jiujiang County and Lujiang County, all the strong men who are willing to join the army have entered the camp in the past two months."

"Next, should we recruit generals to train soldiers?"

"Moreover, since the news came from Xudu, it seems that Dong Cheng and others have moved, but fortunately we are going fast."

"yes!"

Xu Zhen raised his eyebrows proudly, and showed a bright smile to Cao Ang, "I couldn't understand the school affairs I trained, and before leaving, I have already analyzed all kinds of pros and cons for the lord." ”

"I heard," Cao Ang saw that Xu Zhen had no intention of staying, and immediately chased after him, and told all the news before he arrived home, otherwise there would be no chance.

"I heard that Liu Bei has also arrived in Xuzhou City, and the army is chasing Yuan Shu, if it is according to the previous arrangement, he may defect to Lu Bu."

"If the two unite and occupy Xuzhou again, won't there be civil strife."

Xu Zhen's footsteps stopped slightly, and immediately smiled bitterly: "He won't defect to Lu Bu, if he is worried, he can write a letter to Xuzhou and let Brother Zixiao take precautions." ”

"General Zixiao's defense of the city is extremely tenacious and severe, and he must be able to hold it."

Xu Zhen was a school official who came out of Cao Ren's army, so he had a deeper understanding of him.

Serious reorganization, never slack, and day and night practice of military books and tactics, these years have always been victorious, if he defends the city, the enemy will be extremely difficult to break.

"Liu Bei, will you really turn your back on my father?"

Xu Zhen smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, I am not willing to live under others, and I have already won the name of the emperor's uncle, so I naturally want to leave." ”

"It's a pity, it would be nice if I killed it."

"I've persuaded you twice, so I can only accept the outcome," Xu Zhen said with a sigh, and he actually advised him again before leaving.

But Cao Cao still didn't make that choice after all, and it may be reluctant.

After all, he and Liu Bei met much earlier than himself, and the two most likely had a friendship when they were in Luoyang, and then Liu Bei followed Cao Cao to get into trouble together, and then participated in the alliance to discuss Dong together.

I have also had long conversations, slept together, or had other considerations.

At this time, Dian Wei came from outside, and immediately dismounted in front of the two, his face was full of excitement, and a thunderous voice came, "There is news." ”

"Xu Du's side, it seems that he has already made a move, the prime minister has killed many Han Chen, put many old ministers in prison, and now he has controlled all the officials inside and outside Xu Du."

When Xu Zhen heard this, his footsteps really stopped, and his expression was complicated for a while.
