Chapter 228: Troubled Times
Dong Guozhang died, and Concubine Dong was undoubtedly the saddest.
Liu Xie was even worried that Cao Cao broke into the palace and even killed Concubine Dong, but fortunately Cao Cao had not yet reached this point, but the ministers of the court and the central government, the people who participated in this matter could die, and they were basically dead.
Queen Fu's father, Fu Wan, was reminded by Sima Fang that he did not participate, so he didn't know how long he could live if he was still alive.
If Cao Cao wants to take further power, he must kill the ministers again, and there is still danger after they are ambushed.
"Please Your Majesty, help my father avenge me."
Concubine Dong cried.
Liu Xie also wanted revenge, and didn't even want Dong Cheng and the others to die, so he said helplessly: "How can I take revenge now?" Even the more than 2,000 Lin Wei were taken away by Cao Cao! ”
If he had this ability, he would have reported it a long time ago.
When Concubine Dong heard this, she cried bitterly again.
Liu Xie sat helplessly on the couch and sighed: "It's because I'm incompetent, I can't protect you, and I can't protect the ministers of the DPRK and China, I ......"
He also wanted to blame himself and scold himself again.
But now, he doesn't even know what to scold himself, he thinks he's too wasteful.
"It's not Your Majesty's fault!"
Queen Fu shook her head and said: "It's all that Cao thief is too powerful, and now in troubled times, that's the case, alas, ......"
She let out a long sigh.
As for Concubine Dong, she can only cry.
I don't know how miserable it is to cry, but it's useless to cry, there is no way to take revenge, I can only be trapped in the deep palace, and I can't do anything.
"What can I do to turn the tide?"
Liu Xie said helplessly.
Empress Fu said: "Your Majesty, my father, is still alive now, he should not be affected, he must have a way." In addition, Uncle Liu Huang escaped, and he would also be outside, leading the world's heroes to fight back to Xudu, kill Cao thief, and greet His Majesty. ”
Liu Xie smiled bitterly, he could see through the general trend of the world today, and said with a wry smile: "The queen thinks that the next person to greet me is a loyal minister?" From Dong Zhuo to Cao Cao, which one is a loyal minister? ”
Hearing this, Queen Fu had nothing to say.
The loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty seem to be the only ones left, those who were killed.
The rest are either afraid of Cao Cao or want to become the next Cao Cao, even if Yuan Shao comes.
Maybe Liu Bei is different.
Liu Xie thinks that he can put hope on Liu Bei, it should still be possible!
If it's gone, it's really gone.
In the palace, there was a gloomy cloud.
Whether it is the emperor or the concubines, they are all panicked, for fear that Cao Cao will liquidate to the end, and even Concubine Dong, who is pregnant with a child, will not let go.
After a night of turmoil, the city of Xudu was temporarily calmed down.
But the people in the city, like Liu Xie in the palace, were panicked, passers-by were in a hurry, and some people gathered in groups of three or five to discuss in a low voice what happened last night.
Sima Lang and Sima Yi walked outside, only to see that the corpses on the ground had been taken away, and the traces of the fighting on the street seemed to have been erased, but they were not completely wiped clean.
Everywhere, some remnants of blood and traces of swords.
"Last night's turmoil was really powerful!"
Sima Lang said lightly: "I heard that Chen Duzhi was arrested by Zhang Fei, Cao Sikong invited His Majesty to come out and negotiate with Liu Bei, and the two sides stopped, Liu Bei left, and Chen Duzhi was saved." Pity...... We couldn't go out last night and couldn't see that. ”
Sima Yi said: "Big brother, if we go out, I'm afraid that even the Sima family will be gone today, and I can secretly give so many parts, as well as slaves, homeless people, etc., it is already the limit." Father's idea is that if there are people in the city who resist, we can provide a little support to those who resist, but we must preserve our own strength. ”
They spoke in a very soft and low voice.
Only they could hear the passers-by, walking in a hurry, and they couldn't hear what was said.
"Zhongda is right!"
Sima Lang nodded, and asked again, "Can Zhongda guess what Cao Sikong is going to do next?" ”
Sima Yi thought for a while and said: "The ministers killed by Cao Sikong are all from the wealthy family, I guess that in the future, there will be opposition from many families, and some people will boycott the Cao family, he must be anxious about this matter, as for what Uncle Liu Huang will do......"
He paused for a while before he said: "Uncle Liu Huang escaped, he will definitely not give up, and he will definitely kill again, that edict, I believe that Dong Guozhang has been handed over to Uncle Liu Huang, and Cao Sikong is ready to fight with Yuan Shao." ”
Sima Lang shook his head and smiled: "Can Cao Sikong beat Yuan Shao?" ”
"Yuan Shu thought so at the beginning."
Sima Yi said lightly: "Although Yuan Shu's death is not all because of Cao Sikong, most of the reasons are Cao Sikong, and the other ...... The current Cao Sikong is no longer the Cao Sikong of the Yuan Shu encroachment period. ”
Today's Cao Cao, the degree of strength rise, they can see it with the naked eye.
The territory occupied is also increasing.
Although the strength of the army and grain and grass are not as strong as Yuan Shao's, they are not without the power of a battle, and you must know that the factors for victory on the battlefield are not necessarily the strength and grain and grass, but also the strategy.
Cao Cao has many strategists around him, and there is also Chen Duzhi.
Sima Yi was most afraid of Chen Zhou, and continued: "In this world, the heroes are competing for the deer, and it is not yet known who will kill the deer, but I guess Yuan Shao is not the last to win the deer. In the north of the Han Dynasty, sooner or later it will all fall into the hands of Cao Cao. ”
Sima Lang didn't know why Sima Yi could have such an opinion.
But after a closer look, Cao Cao's current development is becoming more and more powerful and prosperous, and I think that Sima Yi's judgment should be based on this.
"Who will get this deer?"
Sima Lang said again.
Sima Yi suddenly smiled and said, "I don't know, after all, the troubled times, now it's so chaotic, everything is possible, maybe it's our Sima family who will win the deer in the end." ”
Hearing this, the two brothers laughed for a while.
"In this case, Zhong Da can only tell me, if others hear it, our Sima family will have to be killed."
Sima Lang reminded.
Sima Yi nodded slightly and said, "I understand." ”
In the city, the haze of last night has not completely dissipated.
The two brothers of the Sima family, in the haze, walked farther and farther, they just came out to see what the situation was now, and when they saw it clearly, they naturally went home.
The panic of ordinary people has nothing to do with the family.
Sima Yi concluded that Cao Cao would not dare to move the family again in a short period of time, although in the future, the family might rebel against Cao Cao and oppose Cao Cao's massacre of the ministers.
even, smearing Cao Cao's reputation.
But Cao Cao still didn't dare to move the family.
In this era, the family is a very unique existence, which can be unique enough to surpass a dynasty.
"Let's go back!"
Sima Yi said again.
Not long after they left, a few young sons appeared on the street.
It was Xiahou Nan and a few people.
"I actually let Chen Zhou survive last night."
The first to speak was Xiahou Ba, who said with an unhappy face.
They are becoming more and more unhappy with Chen Zhou.
Because of pig raising and forging, they were beaten by their fathers at home, and every time they were spanked and bloomed, and their skin was opened.
