Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1484 The Emperor's Last Outburst Eight

"Who has this ability?" Tan Zong narrowed his eyes slightly.

If you just make a fake picture, then it’s not a big problem, if you mix half of the truth with the fake, then you need careful thinking, and the logic must be strong, otherwise there will be loopholes everywhere.

Even with such a critical eye, he couldn't see many loopholes in this distribution map of soldiers and horses. If he hadn't known it in advance, he might have taken it seriously.

"Don't underestimate the people around the emperor!"

Xin Zhao sighed and said: "I don't know how many people are around the emperor. Although I have placed some eyeliners around the emperor, the emperor is very careful. We don't have much information, and I think , he dares to do this, under such circumstances, against Cao Cao, he must have some trump cards!"

"I haven't underestimated Liu Xie, but I have to admit that I should have underestimated the background of the 400-year-old Han Dynasty!" Tan Zong quickly realized a shortcoming of his own, and said: "Our Han Dynasty has gone through 400 years, and many scholars may not be around. After passing this hurdle, without seeing the hope in their hearts, they are still willing to live and die together on this dilapidated ship!"

"Ok!"

Xin Zhao nodded, and his voice was a little regretful: "It seems that we have to have more hope for the emperor!"

"It's useless!" Tan Zong shook his head: "Although the big man has peripheral vision, you and I both know that this peripheral vision will have to be extinguished sooner or later. No matter how deep the Han Dynasty is, it can't stand the toss!"

It wasn't that he belittled the Han family, nor that he looked down on Liu Xie, but that the general trend was like this. How many years have passed since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and the world today is becoming more chaotic and more difficult every day.

No matter how much heritage the Han Dynasty has, it will be completely consumed by this kind of life, and it will collapse sooner or later.

"Furthermore, Cao Mengde may have already started to spread the net, and the emperor who is waiting is going to get in. If the emperor does not move, he should be able to toss for a while. This time, if he moves, he is destined to be dealt with by Cao Cao!"

Tan Zong made a detailed analysis: "As for what Cao Cao can do, it's hard to say!"

Tan Zong asked himself that he could guess the state of mind of the emperor, but he never dared to guess the thoughts of a hero like Cao Cao. The more you guess, the less special you will feel.

On the contrary, it looked even more terrifying.

And there will be a preconceived feeling that what the hero does in the end often surprises you, only you can't think of it, there will never be something he can't do.

"Since this is the case, then we don't need to guess, just do it!"

Xin Zhao said in a low voice: "The more chaotic Xudu is, the less pressure the King will have!"

"Ok!"

Tan Zong nodded. They still have this tacit understanding. Although the left and right divisions are also in a competitive relationship, they are absolutely consistent with the outside world.

"You can do the assassination, and I'll take care of the rest!" Tan Zongdao: "The more chaos in Xudu, the better, but we can't put the cart before the horse. Jing Wusi is inquiring about news, not just for fear that the world will go wrong." It's chaotic, what we have to do is to take advantage of this chaos and let Jing Wusi take root!"

Jingwu Division's layout in Xudu has always been a bit moderate, nothing special, which has a lot to do with their unstable foundation in Xudu.

So this time, it is a good opportunity.

It's just that no one is absolutely sure whether this opportunity can be grasped, including Tan Zong.

"Stealing the sky and changing the sun?" Xin Zhao had heard a little about Tan Zong's plan before, but he didn't know much about it. Although You Si would also bury secrets, but the responsibility of You Si is internal, and more secrets are around his own people. It has been buried, and the outside news is under the management of Jingwu Zuo Division, and the Right Division is also involved, and it is more of a cooperation.

"graft!"

Tan Zongdao: "If you want to make sure that there is no trace, you must ensure the original taste, at least not let them notice it, Yelou's sense of touch must be very keen!"

"Do you need me to do anything?"

"Our Zuo Division has its own plans for this matter, and there is no need for the Right Division to intervene. You should still focus on dealing with the Imperial Mausoleum Army!" Tan Zongdao: "In addition, you should also do a good job in Xun Yu's affairs. According to Zhao Ye's plan, in the Before we turn our backs, we cooperate with the emperor, and we have to make the emperor feel that we are reliable, otherwise how can we give him the confidence to move!"

"Okay!" Xin Zhao nodded, looking at the street below, the flow of people is getting more and more lively, but he has some feelings: "This is probably a mess, I'm afraid it will be another bloodbath Already!"

"The world cannot be unified, there will be bloody storms everywhere!"

Tan Zong took a deep breath and said.

He became more and more determined that what he did was right. Although what he had been doing seemed to be shameful, he was moving forward with a noble goal.

"That's a great word!"

Xin Zhao's eyes became brighter and brighter. As an eunuch, he was honored by his ancestors, rich and glorious, in fact, there was nothing special about him. If he could leave his name in history, it would be an confession to himself.

....................................

Xu Du was very calm on the surface, but the calmer he was, the more he could feel depression, a feeling that a storm was about to come.

early morning.

The emperor has always been in court.

Cao Cao is not Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo is rough and domineering, and Cao Cao, even if he seizes power, even if he is a dictator, even if he uses the emperor as a puppet, he has always done enough in terms of etiquette.

When the emperor came to court, he greeted him with courtesies.

Even if Cao Cao is no longer there, the ministers will go to the court for matters that should go to court. Although the Xudu court is newly built, it is enough to form a court with the addition of some scattered courtiers.

There are hundreds of officials in the court hall.

This is also the result of Cao Cao's coercion of the emperor to make the princes. The emperor is in Xudu, and those who have a heart for the Han Dynasty will naturally go to Xudu, and finally join the court, which is equivalent to throwing themselves under Cao Cao's command.

Cao Cao's ability to easily stabilize the government of the four states has a lot to do with him coercing the emperor to make the princes.

Mu Jing couldn't do this, he needed to clear up each of them to lay down such a place, and the efficiency was not high, so he had to use the new policy as a last resort.

But even if the new policy is launched, it has been delayed due to insufficient talents. Today's local government affairs may not be clear, and it is still not as efficient as the Central Plains.

This is Cao Cao's advantage.

Of course, where there are advantages, there are also disadvantages. Many of the hundreds of courtiers are the backbone of the royalist party. They only think about the Han Dynasty and the emperor, so when they do things, they often confront Cao Cao.

Cao Cao fought with them, and they both had a splitting headache. Only then can the Xudu court be considered stable.

Morning is also very simple.

Under normal circumstances, the Son of Heaven would not take the initiative to say anything. After entering Xudu, the Son of Heaven has always been very kind, at least he would not confront Cao Cao on the face of it.

The courtiers reported some situations, and then the emperor often said a few words. I knew it, and then there was nothing more to say. He wanted to control it, but he couldn't.

The so-called early court is just a formality.

However, today’s early court is a bit weird. This feeling can be felt by many courtiers. talk.

So it didn't take long for the morning to disperse.

All the ministers filed out.

When they came out, they were still whispering to each other, chatting softly about what happened in the morning court this morning.

Xun Yu and Cao Ang walked in front, the two were indifferent, and after a while, Xun Yu said, "His Royal Highness, is the king coming back?"

"My father didn't give me any news, and I don't know his current situation, but the front line was defeated, how could my father walk away so easily, if he wants to stabilize the defense line and reassure the army, it will be difficult to complete within a month or two." !"

Cao Ang smiled slightly and answered Xun Yu.

"is it?"

Xun Yu took a deep look at Cao Ang with his deep eyes, and then sighed: "Wei Wang is a pillar of a great man, and it will be hard for him to hurt the foundation of a great man!"

"Xun Lingjun, are we the ones who want to make trouble now?" Cao Ang also took a deep look at Xun Yu, and said, "The person who is not willing to let us go now is the person sitting in that position!"

Hearing this, Xun Yu turned his head and glanced at the figure sitting cross-legged in the seat of the Ninth Five-Year Lord in the palace hall, but couldn't say anything.

He wants a loyal man.

I also know that only Cao Cao can revive the Han Dynasty.

But that's the best of both worlds.

"It's all for the court, why is it so!"

In the end, he said something helplessly, then turned around and left, quickly left the palace, got into a carriage, and was about to go home, he had to go back and think about it for a while.

There were many carriages in front of the palace gate, and Cao Ang also got into his own carriage. He and Xun Yu happened to be facing each other. The Xun Mansion and Wei Wang Mansion were at the two ends of the royal road to the palace.

When he felt that they had left, a little eunuch told the emperor what Xun Yu said in front of the door, and the emperor just smiled: "The dynasty of the Han Dynasty, I can just protect it, and there is no need to rely on anyone!"

He didn't agree with Xun Yu.

What Cao Cao can do, what can he not do, he is the emperor, how could it be possible for people to be treated as a puppet all the time, this is never possible.

........................

After the early departure, about half an hour later, Xun Yu's carriage was about to return to the Xun Mansion, but Xun Yu had a habit of eating something in the market on the left side of the Xun Mansion.

The carriage turned a corner and turned directly into a square market.

But at this moment, the atmosphere suddenly became chilling.

call out!
A cold arrow fell from the sky and shot directly into the carriage, but was blocked. A guard quickly drew his knife and chopped off the arrow.

But the second, third, and fourth... more than a dozen cold arrows were shot at the same time, the horse was shot to death first, and then several guards were shot.

"alert!"

"There are assassins!"

The guards of the Xun Mansion are definitely elite, they were cultivated by a thousand-year-old family since childhood, and most of them have been sent to the battlefield to practice, each of them is strong in martial arts and decisive in killing.

"Protect your lord!" The guards quickly surrounded the carriage and began to form a defensive battle formation, taking precautions on all sides.

"kill!"

More than a dozen men in black, wearing bamboo hats, rushed out from the shops on all sides, with a very clear goal, which was to go towards Xun Yu.

"Block them, sound the horn to ask for help, let Zhi Jinwu Ti ride quickly to help!"

The leader of the guards is the son of the Xun family, Xun Gang, a martial artist in the Yuangang realm, usually like Xun Yu's followers, not well-known, and rarely makes shots, but his martial arts are not low, he is good at using a long sword, the sword is five feet long , as thin as a cicada's wing, extremely sharp.

"kill!"

The people in black rushed wildly.

"court death!"

Xun Gang drew his sword, wounded three black-clothed men with one sword, and forced two black-clothed swordsmen to retreat.

"The Xun family's Confucian and Taoist swordsmanship has a bit of gentleness and elegance, but the sword is a fierce weapon after all!" A sword came from the sky, as if there was no shadow of the sword, only a little starlight.

"So fast!"

Xun Gang's pupils contracted, and he could feel the horror of the sword, and all the energy in his body was burning, and the long sword in his hand, which was as thin as a cicada's wing, condensed a thousand junctures of strength.

"break!"

Just when Xun Gang was entangled, another black-clothed swordsman, with smoke from his sword skills, easily broke through the protective net of the Xun family's guards, and directly shattered the carriage with his sword.

The thin figure inside the carriage was revealed.

Xun Yu was very calm, without the slightest sense of fear, his eyes focused on these men in black who appeared suddenly, and a few strange lights flickered in his eyes.

The question he is thinking now is not who is killing him, but who wants to kill him?
"Now I can't escape, can you tell me, who wants to kill me?" Xun Yu looked at the man in black in front of him, his sword was about to penetrate his body, but he still insisted on this desire Knowing who did it, for the sake of the great man's country, he can die, but he can't mess up Xudu because of his own death.

"Go and ask Lord Yan!"

The sword of the black-clothed swordsman quickly cut three Xun family guards with one sword, and stabbed Xun Yu directly.

"Bold, He Fang is slightly younger here to be presumptuous!"

The sound of horseshoes sounded crazily.

Xu Duzhi Jin Wu Ti rode.

"withdraw!"

A black-clothed swordsman took a deep look at Xun Yu, retracted his sword, and gave the order in one go.

More than a dozen elite men in black also withdrew instantly and disappeared without a trace.

In the end, the black-clothed swordsman who confronted Xun Gang was about to be surrounded by the Jinwuti cavalry. In desperation, he used a sharp sword technique, broke Xun Gang's blade, and returned the sword Pierced Xun Gang's left arm, then jumped and disappeared from the eaves.

Zhi Jinwuti rode more than a hundred horses, galloping here, but what he saw was a mess all over the place.

"what happened?"

The leader of Tiqi held a spear in his hand and swept it away.

"This is Xun Lingjun's carriage. A group of men in black suddenly rushed out to kill Xun Lingjun!" Several Xun family guards jumped onto the broken carriage to assist the bloody Xun Yu.

"Mr. Xun Ling?"

This immediately made Zhijin Wuzhong Tiqi feel a chill.

"You save people, we chase them, and the murderer who injured Xun Lingjun will definitely not let go at large in this capital city!"

Shang Baiti flew up on her horse's hooves, chasing after the murderer who disappeared.

"Homeowner!"

Xun Gang walked up with his injuries.

"Go home!"

Xun Yu held the wound, and it seemed that a lot of blood had flowed, but in fact it didn't hurt the bones. He felt that the killer had left half his strength, otherwise the sword would have killed him.

"Yes!"

Xun Gang nodded.

The Xun Mansion was under martial law, and hundreds of soldiers quickly moved to guard the entire mansion. Three steps, one post, five steps, one step, and no entry or exit was allowed.

After Xun Yu was carefully recuperated by a doctor raised by the Xun family, he felt much better.

"Patriarch, your wound is not small, within ten days, you must rest!" said the doctor.

"Oh, I see!"

Xun Yu narrowed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said, "Don't tell the world about my injury!"

"Yes!" The doctor bowed his hands and left.

Xun Gang walked in quickly, and his left arm was also bandaged. Although the injury was not serious, in a short time, he would not want to use the sword anymore.

"Xun Gang, what do you think of these men in black?"

Xun Yu asked Xun Gang.

"Martial arts are very good, quick to move, free to come and go, not a dead man, but proficient in the art of assassin, looking at the world, few people can do it well, definitely not an ordinary ranger!"

Xun Gang wanted to speak but stopped.

"Just say anything?"

"Patriarch, the man in black who faced me with the sword, I feel that he hides his sword skills, but I can see the last sword!"

"What sword technique?"

"The swordsmanship of Zhang Rang, the head of the ten permanent servants in the past, is Xiaoyu!"

"Zhang Rang?"

Xun Yu's pupils flickered faintly.

"Homeowner!"

A Xun family guard rushed in and reported: "I just got the news that when we were attacked, Shizi's carriage was also on the East Street, and was attacked by a group of black-clothed assassins. I don't know if he is alive or dead!"
