Chapter 70: Who is Diao Chan (plus more)

The sergeant sent to monitor Cao Cao came to report that Cao Cao went to the palace of Yin Wang Yun in Henan to have a banquet. After the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info disbanded, the rest of the ministers left, but Cao Cao came out after half an hour.

There was information about Cao Cao's whereabouts like this every day, but this time the information made Wei Xuan recall some things, and he caught a hint of conspiracy from it, and couldn't help asking: "When Cao Cao left Wang Yun's mansion, did he take a treasure knife with him?"

The sergeant shook his head and said, "It's too dark to see clearly." ”

Wei Xuan waved his hand to let the sergeant retreat, and he rode a red rabbit horse to see Li Ru.

Hearing that Wei Xuan came to visit, Li Ru was very surprised. He didn't have any personal relationship with Wei Xuan, and he once persuaded Dong Zhuo to get rid of Wei Xuan. Later, when he saw that Dong Zhuo did not allow it, he persuaded Dong Zhuo to give the red rabbit horse to Wei Xuan. In any case, he was always on guard against Wei Xuan in his heart. However, since Wei Xuan took the initiative to come to the door, he still behaved very enthusiastically, and said again and again: "General Wei is here, and the humble house is full of brilliance. ”

As Dong Zhuo's son-in-law and chief strategist, Li Ru's mansion in Luoyang is naturally magnificent. Wei Xuan couldn't help but secretly scold this hypocrisy, but he also said with a smile on his face: "In this Luoyang City, the one that Wei admires the most is Master Li." Wei came today to tell him something. ”

Li Ru was cautious, he looked around, and whispered, "General Wei, please speak inside." ”

Wei Xuan nodded, followed Li Ru to the study, and said: "On that day, Lord Li gave him a red rabbit horse, and Wei once said that he would achieve three things for Lord Taiwei. ”

Li Ru said: "Li remembers, there is indeed something. General Wei helped the lord find the jade seal of the heirloom country, and he has already reached one. ”

Wei Xuan said: "There is a second thing today, which can help Lord Taiwei avoid a catastrophe. However, this matter still needs to be handled by Lord Li. ”

Li Ru pondered for a long time and said, "General Wei, please speak." ”

Wei Xuan said in a deep voice: "Wei Mou only had a dream, and someone will assassinate Lord Taiwei tomorrow!"

Li Ru was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "How can the things in the dream be taken seriously!"

Wei Xuan shook his head and said: "I'd rather believe that it exists, than believe that it doesn't! Tomorrow afternoon, Cao Cao will use the name of offering a knife to take a break and assassinate Lord Taiwei! This knife is called Seven Stars, and it is a family heirloom treasure of Wang Yun! Although this is a dream, it is like seeing it in person, and it must be guarded against!"

Li Ru hesitated and said: "Cao Cao is pleased with the lord, and let Li report to the lord tomorrow and make a decision." ”

Wei Xuan said: "Cao Cao's family is all in the township, and the only one is in Beijing, not you and me. If this officer has different ambitions and deliberately shows favor to the captain, disaster will not be far away!"

In fact, most of the families of Dong Zhuo's generals still stayed in Xiliang. However, Wei Xuan said this in order to clear up the relationship for himself.

Li Ru really believed Wei Xuan, nodded and said, "Since General Wei dreamed that Cao Cao would assassinate him tomorrow afternoon, Li asked Feng Xian to set up an ambush. If Cao Cao has bad intentions, he will definitely be able to capture him!"

Wei Xuan thought for a while, and then said: "Since Cao Cao is in the name of offering a sword, he will deny it in every possible way. It's better to make a plan to get away with it and see if he escapes from the capital. ”

Li Ru stroked his palm and said: "Yes, if Cao Cao really escapes, his intention will be revealed!"

The two discussed it carefully, and Wei Xuan gave his leave.

......

In the afternoon of the next day, Cao Cao really came to the Taiwei Mansion with a saber. Dong Zhuo had already received a message from Li Ru, pretended to take a nap, turned inward, but quietly looked at the mirror behind the couch, and sure enough, he saw Cao Cao pulling out a knife behind his back, and hurriedly turned around and asked, "What does Meng De want?"

Cao Cao reacted quickly, held the knife in both hands, and said: "Cao Mou recently got a treasure knife, and he didn't dare to hide it privately, so he came to dedicate it to Taiwei!"

Dong Zhuo took a look at the knife and saw that it was about a foot long, with seven gems embedded on it, extremely sharp, and it was indeed a treasure knife. Thinking of Cao Cao's usual courtesy and flattery, he couldn't help but hesitate, so he said: "The official is sleepy, and Meng De can come back in half an hour." ”

This is exactly what Wei Xuan and Li Ru discussed, and tested Cao Cao again. Of course, when Li Ru reported to Dong Zhuo, he automatically ignored Wei Xuan, and said that it was his own idea. If Cao Cao was really caught plotting to assassinate, he would be the first to act.

Cao Cao was calm on the surface, but in fact, he was worried in his heart, and when he heard that Dong Zhuo asked him to leave first, he was immediately overjoyed, bowed down and retreated, went out and got on the horse, and went to the east gate. When a sergeant at the gate inquired, he only said that Dong Zhuo had sent him to do urgent business. The sergeants did not dare to stop him and let him go.

Unexpectedly, Cao Cao had just run out for more than a mile, and he saw a team of people and horses blocking in front of him, and the red rabbit horse under the crotch of the leader was Wei Xuan. It turned out that Li Ru had arranged for his men to wait outside the four gates in advance, but outside the east gate was the headquarters of the guard.

Wei Xuan smiled and asked, "Where is Meng De?"

Cao Cao reined in his horse and arched his hand: "On the orders of Lord Taiwei, I will go to Chenliu for urgent business." ”

Wei Xuan let out an "oh" and said, "Is there a warrant from Lord Taiwei?"

Cao Cao said: "Cao was in a hurry and didn't take it. ”

Wei Xuan sneered: "So, Meng Denai escaped from Beijing privately. ”

Cao Cao suddenly drew his sword in his hand and shouted: "What is your duty, dare to come and stop a certain person! If you miss the Taiwei major matter, you can't afford to bear the guilt, so don't get out of the way quickly!"

What Wei Xuan wants is to arrest him, since he wants to break in, he doesn't bother to talk nonsense with him, and waves his hand: "Come on, take down this thief with so-and-so!"

The sergeants shouted and swarmed forward. Cao Cao also wanted to wield a sword to resist, but Xu Huang had already cut off his horse's leg with an axe. The horse screamed, fell to the ground, and overturned Cao Cao. Cao Cao was about to get up, but he was held down by all the sergeants, and the five flowers were tied up in a strong knot.

Wei Xuan asked Xu Huang to escort Cao Cao to see Dong Zhuo, and he led the military horse straight to Wang Yun's mansion. Cao Cao's sword is Wang Yun's family heirloom, and Wang Yun naturally can't get rid of it.

......

Since Cao Cao took the Qibao Sword and left, Wang Yun was restless at home, waiting for news from Cao Cao. However, the left waited and the right did not come, but they waited for a group of tigers and wolves. Wang Yun knew that the matter was exposed, but he still said stiffly: "Who are you waiting for, how dare you trespass into this official's mansion!"

Wei Xuan only replied with two words, and shouted: "Take it!"

A group of sergeants had already pressed Wang Yun down and tied him up.

Wei Xuan waved his hand again: "Give a certain search!"

Wang Yun has been an official for many years, and his family is very wealthy, and he was carried to the front yard. The more than 30 singers in his house, along with a gang of wives and concubines, were all enclosed like lambs.

Wei Xuan's gaze swept over the heavy cages, and said lightly: "Half of it is dedicated to the Taiwei, and half of it is divided into equal parts!"

The armies suddenly thundered with joy and celebrated with their foreheads.

Since Dong Zhuo's troops and horses entered the capital, they have robbed the people and women every day, but the more than 3,000 people under Wei Xuan are strictly disciplined and dare not do anything nonsense. In fact, these sergeants watched others eat and drink spicy food, and there were many complaints behind them, but Dian Wei and Xu Huang were in the army, and they all dared to be angry but did not dare to speak. Now that Wei Xuan has rewarded them with so much money at once, how can they not be excited.

Seeing this, Wei Xuan smiled and said, "You always want to rob the people on weekdays, but those poor ghosts can have a few pennies in their hands, how can they be so happy today." ”

The sergeants laughed too.

Wei Xuan walked up to the group of women again and asked, "Who is Diao Chan?"
