"Meng De wants to ask about the Son of Heaven? Although things are a little strange, after all, it is already summer, the temperature is hot and the weather is dry, Xun Wenruo has not found out the clues, maybe it is really an accident. ”

"Oh?"

Seeing that Xiahoudun exonerated Xun Yu, Cao Cao asked curiously:

"Since Yuan Rang thinks it's an accident, why are you in such a hurry?"

"Let me remind Meng De, in the past, Guo Fengxiao Jinshi's words, we didn't seem to listen to it, Long Xiang is really a big trouble, and he uses soldiers to plot insidious and despicable, if this thief is not eliminated first, he must be careful, otherwise he will come to attack Xudu."

"Huh."

The corners of Cao Cao's mouth squeezed out a wry smile, and sighed: "Xu Du's bad situation, I can't go back to Jingzhou for a short time, Long Xiang wants to sneak attack, just come, promise not to beat his and urine, the most important thing at the moment is to support the new monarch, but it is a coincidence that there is only one prince left, I am worried that Xun Wenruo deliberately arranged it." ”

"Can't you? Did Meng De doubt it?"

Xiahoudun changed his words and said good things for Xun Yu again.

"It's all strange that the last general was reckless and injured, if it weren't for Xun Wenruo to stabilize the city defense, Xu Du would have been in chaos a long time ago, and he has always maintained the Han family, and he will never do anything rebellious."

"Yuan Rang doesn't have to be excited, I just think it's a coincidence."

Cao Cao helped Xiahoudun sit down, he was worried that the other party would be excited to open the wound, but he complained in his heart about the old comrade-in-arms in front of him.

The heart said that you can't endlessly believe in each other because of gratitude, let's do Henan Yin for a few years, even if you are blind, you can't be blind.

Xun Yu tried his best to maintain the Han family before, because the ethnic group he represented had benefited for a long time, but now that there are Hebei scholars to check and balance, it is also reasonable for the Henan scholars to have evil intentions.

Those corpses were burned beyond recognition, and Liu Xie and the prince were not among them, and they might have hidden them.

Cao Cao's inner drama was singing fiercely, and Xiahoudun suddenly grabbed his hand against the guest, and said seriously:

"Meng De doesn't have to be entangled, there are many relatives of the Liu family in the world, then Liu Xi is not from the queen, you can find another virtuous and virtuous king."

Xiahoudun originally said unintentionally, but Cao Cao was inspired by it.

"Hiss"

"No, I'll set up Liu Xi."

Cao Cao's words were sonorous and powerful, and Xiahou shook hands and squeezed them vigorously again.

"Mengde, don't be reluctant"

"Hehe, you don't know who I am? Will you wronged yourself? ”

"That's right."

"After these few days, let's get together again, if there is nothing else, let Zidan send you back first?"

"Okay."

Seeing that Xiahoudun was full of promises, Cao Cao waved his hand and signaled Cao Zhen to send it.

When the staggering figure disappeared, Cao Chun immediately rushed up.

"Yuan Rang was seriously injured this time, and his judgment was much weaker, but his suggestion just now was still good, since the lord was suspicious, why did he have to support Liu Xi?"

"Huh."

Cao Cao smiled mysteriously at Cao Chun: "Liu Xi, who I want to support, is not the son of Liu Xie, does Zihe remember the evil king of Lang?" ”

Liu Xi, the current king of Langya, has the same name as the prince left by Liu Xie (there was also a Liu Xi in Jiaozhou at this time), and his father Liu Rong had a deep friendship with Cao Song.

Liu Rong died of illness in the fourth year of Chuping, and Liu Xineng was reinstated as the king of Langya a few years ago, all relying on Cao Cao to operate for him in Xudu.

"Huh? Your lord, you want it."

Cao Chun swallowed violently and reminded Cao Cao: "I'm afraid Xun Lingjun and they won't agree"

"Hmph, the world is in my business, how can I let them?"

Cao Cao smiled disdainfully, and then solemnly advised: "This is kept secret from the outside world in advance, you will lead the tiger and leopard to Langya tomorrow, and bring people back to Yecheng to settle down first, Changba's rebellion in the East China Sea is still not peaceful, don't be stumped by him, if you dare to stop and kill." ”

"Yes, but why did you bring it to Yecheng?"

Facing Cao Chun's questioning, Cao Cao found that he was disheveled, so he rolled up his chest collar for comparison.

"I've been wearing purple robes for a long time, and others think I'm only wearing this color, but I don't know that there are so many colors in my wardrobe that you can choose from."

"I saved it"

Cao Chun completely understood at this time, and said that the prime minister wanted to really set the capital of Yecheng, I don't know what Xun Lingjun thought.

In exchange for Liu Xi for Liu Xi, Cao Cao felt that it was wonderful, and he could finally sleep steadily.

When I woke up, it was dark outside the window.

His stomach rumbled twice, and Cao Cao thought that he hadn't had dinner yet, so he called out loudly: "Who is outside the house?" Come in and give the prime minister wide clothes, and the prime minister wants to have dinner. ”

As soon as Cao Cao's words fell, the sound of crawling on the floor came.

The voice was heavier than the waiter's footsteps, and there seemed to be a hint of murderous aura in the air, Cao Cao instinctively turned over and grabbed his sword on the side of the couch.

With a bang, the blade came out of its sheath.

"Father, you are."

"I thought it was an assassin, why don't you go back and rest?"

Cao Cao's previous judgment was right, Cao Zhen was the captain of the tiger and leopard cavalry, didn't he have a murderous aura?

The misunderstanding was solved, Cao Cao threw the sword aside, and Cao Zhen hugged his fists and explained: "The child has something important to report, so he sent General Xiahou back to his house, met his second son Xiahou Zilin, and learned some important information. ”

"Xiahou Zilin? I remember that he and his brother were helping Wen Ruo during this time, right? Tell me about it. ”

"Yes, that's the way it is"

Just now, Xiahou Nan told Cao Zhen that Xun Yu has recently monopolized the military and political affairs of Xudu, and Xun Mansion has non-stop visitors day and night, even more lively than the Prime Minister's Mansion, and it has been the same until now.

Cao Cao immediately frowned, and said in his heart, if you don't understand, why don't you overdo it?

If I set up King Langya as the emperor and the capital of Yecheng, you won't make trouble for me, right?

Looking for trouble, Cao Cao is not afraid.

Cao Cao was worried that Xun Yu would hide Liu Xie, or hide the prince born after the ambush, after all, the fire burned really weirdly.

"Zihe wants to take the tiger and leopard to ride to ask for Changba, you don't have to go to Xuzhou with the army, just stay in Xudu and stare at Xunfu secretly, find out everyone who has dealings with Xunfu, I always don't believe that there is only one prince left."

"Father's meaning. Touching melons along the vine? ”

Seeing that Cao Zhen was so smart, Cao Cao did not hesitate to praise: "Zidan can understand at one point, and his achievements in the future are limitless, and he must be the pillar of my Cao family." ”

"The child is terrified."

Although Cao Zhen is young and humble, he is meticulous in doing things.

He claimed to follow Cao Chun to quell the rebellion, but secretly stayed in Xu Du to personally deploy a secret outpost, but unfortunately he monitored Xun Yu's mansion for more than two months, and there was no news that Cao Cao wanted.

During this period, Cao Cao ordered Xun Yu to treat Liu Xie's funeral, and the Prime Minister was responsible for Liu Xi's succession.

It's just that this Liu Xi is not the other Liu Xi, and he kept Xun Yu and the courtiers in the dark.

In mid-September, an auspicious day was set for early October, and Cao Cao had a showdown with Xun Yu.

Xun Yu was directly stunned after hearing this, and after he failed to persuade Cao Cao on the spot, he took the initiative to compromise and agree to King Langya's accession to the throne, but insisted on taking Xu County as the capital and threatened with a hunger strike.

Cao Cao needed the support of the Henan scholars, and at this time the gains outweighed the losses by forcing Xun Yu to die, so he agreed to use Xu County as the capital.

But under the pretext that the palace of Xudu needed to be rebuilt, Liu Xi was already waiting for the ceremony in Yecheng at the moment, and Cao Cao and Ben Xunyu agreed to let the new monarch live in Yecheng temporarily during the reconstruction period.

In October of the fourteenth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao established Liu Xi, the king of Langya, as the new monarch and changed the Yuan to Hengchang.

Cao Cao supported meritorious service, still the prime minister, in charge of the government, Liu Xi and allowed him to 'pay homage to the nameless, sword to go to the palace'.
