Chapter 631: Excessive Coincidence Makes People Suspicious

As the capital of the late Han Dynasty, Xuxian County has a large population, complex composition, and different interests.

Even if Xu is Cao Cao's territory, he has not been able to control everything, so it will not be too long to lead the troops out, and he is afraid of accidents after a long time.

It was with this in mind that Long Xiang deliberately closed the door in Xu Du to 'refine Gu', he knew that something would definitely happen, but he didn't expect things to be so big.

Although Liu Xie has been at the mercy of his whole life, he is not a short-lived person in history.

Now that he is dying early, I don't know how much impact it will have on the pattern of the world.

Who's the one who did it?

It is impossible for people loyal to the Han family, and there is no reason for the Henan scholars led by Xun Yu.

Could it be that he wants to push Cao Cao's henchmen to the top?

After Cao Cao pacified Hebei, the population, money, food, and soldiers under his rule were the most among the princes, even if he was called king or emperor in advance, he would not be like Yuan Shu back then, after all, there were few remaining princes left.

Xiahoudun was blind and seriously injured at home, maybe he couldn't suppress the children of the clan, if there were a few radical disciples of the clan, maybe he would really dare to get rid of Liu Xie's puppet.

After all, if Cao Cao is the king and emperor, the Cao clan will rise.

Extrapolating from the results, this guess is the most reasonable.

But Long Xiang faintly felt that something was wrong, Cao Cao was a very mature politician, and if he didn't hint at the people below, even the children of the clan would not dare to make their own claims.

In history, Cao Cao was crowned king, in addition to reaching the peak of his career, but also mainly because his body was declining, and he could not fight outside for a long time, so he wanted to use the rest of his life to pave the way for Cao Pi to usurp the Han Dynasty.

What do you want to be the king of Zhou Wen, if Cao Cao can live as much as Sima Yi, he will definitely not be satisfied with the prince in the end.

Luo Yicheng and Xu Wei?

A strange thought suddenly popped into Long Xiang's mind, but he immediately shook his head and denied himself.

The heart said that the two of them did not have the ability, and could not make their own decisions.

With Luo Yicheng's shrewdness, he should be able to guess the relationship between Long Xiang and Liu Bei.

Liu Bei's slogan was 'Welcome the Son of Heaven, return the old capital', Luo Yicheng could not turn the Son of Heaven into a corpse and send it back, even if he sent the corpse, he couldn't escape Cao Jun's interrogation along the way.

Long Xiang's doubts are even more Cao Cao's doubts.

Cao Cao led the army to Linying, demolished the concrete blocking the door, neither slaughtered the city nor sent people to investigate the murder, and even went straight to Xudu without entering the city.

The gate of Xudu was wider than that of Linying, and the width, height, and thickness of the rubble concrete wall had increased, and it took Cao's soldiers more than half a day to dismantle it.

Cao Cao was like a supervisor who didn't receive a red envelope, standing aside with a straight face and watching the soldiers busy with their work, and since then he has an unforgettable memory of cement.

Later, the city gate opened, and Xun Yu took a group of officials in the city to greet him, all of whom looked like mourning.

Cao Cao was restless for nearly two days, and when he saw this scene, his heart suddenly cooled, and he thought that Xiahoudun had been seriously injured and died.

"Wen Ruo, it's been less than 100 days since I left, could it be that something big happened to Xu Du?"

"Prime Minister, a few days ago, the palace suddenly went flooded, and all the dormitories in the harem were burned by fire."

Xun Yu cried with a sad face, and Cao Cao frowned when he saw this:

"Your Majesty can be rescued?"

"The fire was too big that night to be rescued, several dormitories were burned beyond recognition, and dozens of charred corpses had just been cleared, and His Majesty has not found them so far"

"Didn't find it? Take me to see it. ”

Cao Cao sneered at Xun Yu, and said in his heart that if Liu Xiezhen was burned to charcoal by the flames, only the immortal family would know who was who.

I handed over Xu Du to you and Xiahoudun, and it ended up like this in less than half a year.

The palace fire and Xiahoudun were seriously injured, but you Xun Yu was the only one intact?

You are Wang Zuozhicai, how could you end up like this? Was it accidental or deliberate?

In the past two years, Cao Cao has brought out the Hebei Shi clan to check and balance.

The Henan Shi clan led by Xun Yu has emotions, so Cao Cao can't help but think nonsense.

Xun Yu pinched Xu Du's city defense in his hands after Xiahoudun was seriously injured, and at this time he saw Cao Cao's face full of guilt, even if Cao Cao's face was gloomy, he didn't mind.

On the way to the palace to inspect, the streets of Xudu were still closed, and the people were still shrouded in panic, which were all manifestations of Xun Yu's ineffective handling.

Cao Cao glanced at it and silently remembered it in his heart, thinking that his city government would not reprimand him in public.

Asked about the situation after the lockdown, Xun Yu did not evade answering truthfully.

Xun Yu was originally only responsible for internal affairs, but how did he know that Xiahoudun was seriously injured when he went out of the city to fight.

Considering that the other generals had low prestige and little planning, Xun Yu could only take the lead and not let the military and government grasp it.

No matter how capable a person is, his energy is always limited.

Although Xun Yu tried his best, after all, he was unfamiliar with military affairs, so that there was often turmoil in the city.

Later, with the help of Xiahou Chong and Xiahou Nan, they still couldn't replace Xiahou Dian.

Cao Cao looked at the burned palace and the dozens of charred corpses, but he was not sure that Liu Xie was inside, but called Xun Yu aside.

"The palace is on fire, Your Majesty is nowhere to be seen, and Wen Ruo doesn't know where Your Majesty is going?"

"The fire broke out in the middle of the night, and the fire spread rapidly, Your Majesty was sleeping deeply, although I don't want to believe it, but it should have died in the fire, the prime minister should stabilize the court as soon as possible, and set up a new monarch to inherit Han Zuo."

"Another king?"

Cao Cao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked Xun Yu tentatively: "Your Majesty's sons are not weak, and the crown prince has not been determined in advance, Wen Ruo thinks who is suitable to succeed to the throne?" ”

"We don't have a choice."

Xun Yu's face was bitter, and he shook his head and replied: "Except for the four princes, the rest of the princes of Your Majesty have disappeared with Your Majesty."

"The Fourth Prince Liu Xi? But he is not from the queen."

Cao Cao was halfway through his words, and suddenly thought of something, so he hurriedly asked: "Don't tell me Queen Fu."

"On the night of the fire, His Majesty stayed in the Fuhou Sleeping Palace."

"What a coincidence."

Cao Cao sighed with a strange expression, and walked away without giving a definite opinion, leaving Xun Yu standing under the scorching sun, and burning the temple next to him seemed to be a masterpiece of the sun.

After running around for several days without closing his eyes, Cao Cao left the palace and went straight to the Xiangfu, he went home to take a nap, but it was difficult to sleep when he was lying on the couch.

Although Liu Xie nominally suppressed Cao Cao, Cao Cao used the name of the Son of Heaven to conquer the Quartet, and only then did he have the current good situation.

The tool man said no, no, only Liu Xike was left to succeed to the throne, and it is difficult to say that someone did it on purpose.

The Son of Heaven died, the new monarch was not established, the court was unstable, and Cao Cao couldn't return to Jingzhou for the time being, so where could he sleep?

Cao Cao turned over and stayed down, walked out of the dormitory in disheveled clothes, and unconsciously came to the council hall.

Just stepped over the threshold, and unexpectedly saw Cao Chun holding Xiahoudun's hand, as if he was saying words of relief.

"Why is Yuan Rang here? You should be at home and waiting for me. ”

"When something so big happens, how can I not come myself? Although it is said that it is no longer visible, it does not mean that it is impossible to make ideas. ”

Xia Houdun expressed his position while stretching out his hands to get up.

Cao Chun hurriedly held him to stand firm, and Cao Cao rushed forward with an arrow step.

"That's fine, I just have something to ask you."
