Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1497 Only by uniting can we resist the Ming!
Cao Cao is the boss, and the boss naturally decides things. The finishing work is handed over to the capable people around him. This time, in order to train Cao Ang, Cao Cao handed over the finishing work of Xudu to him.

At the beginning, Cao Ang was still a little worried that he could not do well.

After all, he had been hit once, being so crushed by the emperor, which knocked out his arrogance and almost knocked out his confidence a lot.

As the saying goes, although the whetstone is only for sharpening the knife, it may not be able to break the knife. Cao Cao used the emperor to teach Cao Ang a lesson.

However, with Jia Xu and Zhong Yao at his side to assist, Cao Ang is still stable, and he dealt with the mess left last night in an orderly manner.

Last night, it was called treason, how many people were involved, and it was not easy to deal with it. In addition, it doesn’t mean that the house was searched, you can copy it if you want.

Above the court, many people are united vertically and horizontally. They want to minimize their influence. This is a test of Cao Ang's ability.

That's why Cao Cao entrusted him with these matters. On the one hand, he really didn't have the time to deal with these bullshit matters. After defeating the emperor, he had already monopolized the government. As the lord, he was more concerned about the world, and It's not Xudu's one-acre three-point land.

On the other hand, he also hopes that Cao Ang can grow up slowly. A qualified heir is the stable foundation of Cao Wei's family.

For example, the current Ming Dynasty, although it is in full swing, is actually not stable internally. That is because Mu Jing has not had an heir until now.

This is the only gap in the Ming Dynasty.

Cao Cao had already started to think in his heart, how to attack Ming in this respect, if he can't win the frontal attack, then attack from the side, slowly, and consume Ming's power.

Cao Ang is very attentive, he has to be worthy of his father's cultivation of him.

"Dong's Mansion has been taken into custody. As for how to deal with it, it will be left to the court to decide. But why is there no one in this Fu's Mansion!"

When Cao Ang started to deal with the mess left over from last night, he discovered many things that he didn't understand: "There are dozens of people, how come they disappeared!"

"Not only that!" Jia Xu knelt beside him, his eyes became more cold: "When cleaning the palace, the queen's body disappeared!"

"what?"

Cao Ang stared: "What do you mean?"

"The queen may not be dead!"

"Impossible, I saw with my own eyes that the queen was pierced by the emperor's sword!"

"My lord, seeing is not necessarily believing!"

Zhong Yao said softly: "At dawn today in the Yelou, dozens of corpses were found in an alley less than 100 meters north of the imperial city. Including Zhao Ye, the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Tomb Army, was also killed!"

"Jing Wusi!"

Cao Ang suddenly realized: "They were the ones who caused the turmoil and assassinated Xun Lingjun before, and they were the ones who made the city full of wind and rain, but there was something wrong with being so quiet last night. !"

"It's Jingwusi!" Jia Xu's complexion was a little ugly. Last night, he was actually taught a lesson. It has become Jing Wusi's home court. If it wasn't for Xun Yu's move, I am afraid that Jing Wusi really succeeded in stealing the chicken, and he slapped Yelou's face directly: "It is also thanks to Xun Lingjun's last move, which made Jing Wusi all over the whole city. The business news network in the capital and the hidden secrets have all been uprooted. There are more than [-] underlings of the Jingwu Division who were beheaded, and there are also thirty or forty people who have been imprisoned in large cells. We dealt with Jing Wusi, the biggest result!"

Yelou was formed by integrating some of Cao Cao's scouts, intelligence spies, rangers, and assassins, but compared to Jingwu Division, which had already developed, it was not a little bit worse.

In these years, they have fought countless times, but they have never won against Jing Wusi.

This time, he was quite elated, uprooting all the spies and strongholds of Jing Wusi in Xu Capital City, which was a great achievement.

It's a pity that Xun Yu completed this great achievement.

For the first time, Jia Xu felt that Wang Zuozhi's talent was terrifying. Sure enough, there is no one worthy of fame. Wang Zuozhi's talent is not a talent for internal affairs, but a talent that can assist the king, internal affairs, military, and even intelligence. He is proficient in all aspects, so he is called Wang Zuozhi.

"However, there should be some fish that slipped through the net. During the chaos, they took the opportunity to leave the city!" Jia Xu said: "And they took away the Fu family, and the empress, or the empress's body!"

"why?"

Cao Ang didn't understand.

Is Fushou related to Jing Wusi? Why did you take Fushou away?

"I don't know, but..." Jia Xu said: "I suspect that Jing Wusi still has some conspiracy, but their casualties are real. It's hard to say what they have in mind!"

"Then just ignore them!"

Cao Ang also scratched his head. He thought for a while: "Let's chase after and beat them hard, and then torture these captives to see if we can continue to dig out some secrets of Jing Wusi!"

He gritted his teeth and continued to add: "I heard rumors that Tan Zong, the commander of Jingwu Division, is a person who is very good at burying secrets. The princes of the world, everyone has his secrets around him!"

"This is a bit exaggerated, but I'd rather believe it than believe it!" Jia Xu said.

"Then check!"

Cao Ang said: "This time Xun Lingjun helped us, if we can't take this opportunity to disable Jing Wusi, what face do we have to meet our father!"

"Yes!"

Jia Xu nodded, he also wanted to investigate further, he always felt a little unsafe if he didn't dig out something.

"It's okay to check, but enough is enough!"

Zhong Yao reminded: "Xu Du has just gone through a turmoil, and the king finally used his majesty to suppress the hearts of the people. We must not let Xu Du get into chaos again!"

Cao Ang and Jia Xu also nodded, Xu Du went through this chaos and couldn't stand any troubles.

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

Wei Wangfu, in the lobby, the atmosphere is a little quiet.

Cao Cao and Xun Yu looked at each other.

In the eyes, it seemed that the complex emotions of the two were entangled.

Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief.

As for Xun Yu, he also felt a little relieved.

In Xun Yu's heart, Cao Cao has always been a complicated person.

Cao Cao is the lord. What he thinks in his heart can only be guessed by others, instead of speaking out, because speaking out will lose his majesty, so sometimes it is difficult for Xun Yu to guess.

Many people think that Cao Cao, like Dong Zhuo, will seek power and usurp the throne, including Xun Yu.

But Cao Cao really never had any thoughts in this regard, not at all.

He can be the prime minister, he can be the king of Wei, he can be under one person or over tens of thousands, but the only thing is that he will not overthrow the Han Dynasty.

Everyone has a bottom line.

So did Cao Cao.

Since he was a child, he has been educated by Cao Song as a minister of power and a minister of Han, but Cao Song never taught him to usurp the throne.

He was Hanchen, always has been.

It's just that no one believes it.

"Yu, believe me, my lord!" Xun Yu took a deep look at Cao Cao, his eyes became brighter, and suddenly he figured out something, he stepped back three steps, and then saluted respectfully: "This subordinate is willing to serve Cao Cao. The lord serves his life, and he will do his best to die!"

At this moment, Xun Yu chose to believe, absolutely believed, he believed that Cao Cao's words were true.

"Wen Ruoyan is serious!"

Cao Cao laughed. He hurriedly helped Xun Yu up, let Xun Yu sit next to him, poured him half a cup of tea, and asked, "Did you drink a lot more pure this time?"

"My lord's wine is really different!"

Xun Yu took a sip and said meaningfully.

"That is!"

Cao Cao smiled and said, "I rarely share the wine I cook alone with outsiders!"

In the eyes of the world, Cao Cao is a hero, an overlord killed on horseback, but in fact, he is a scholar with profound literary skills.

Among literati, cooking wine with green plums requires an atmosphere. It is difficult for people who are not high or low to talk about the world and chat together.

"My lord is anxious to return to Xudu this time, I'm afraid it's not just because of His Majesty's business!" Xun Yu narrowed his eyes, and Cao Cao suddenly appeared. Although he was somewhat prepared, he still felt quite surprised, even if Cao Cao didn't appear, He didn't think that the emperor could succeed, so it was worth Cao Cao's trip back, as long as he ordered a general to come back, he could hold the emperor down.

"Your Majesty is young and easily provoked by others. He can't figure out many things, but from the bottom of his heart, he is also for the big man!"

Cao Cao accepted some things calmly: "It's helpless to plot against him. The big man can't stand the torment. Let him continue to toss, and we can't survive!"

"So the orphan will do his tricks once and for all!"

"But Gu didn't come back to frighten him just for him. To put it bluntly, the emperor's methods are just like that. It's not enough to make Gu Da go to war. Gu defeated Nanyang this time and suffered heavy losses. But the morale of the army has fallen to the bottom, and it takes time to restore the morale of the army. In a short time, they are not planning to leave Kunyang, but the reason why Gu came back from Kunyang in a hurry is that there is no time to rebuild the border defense line against Ming. , that's because, there is a change in the north!"

Cao Cao sighed, and said, "I want to lick my wounds, but there are always people who want to add insult to injury!"

"Yuan Benchu?"

Xun Yu squinted his eyes: "There is indeed news that troops from Hebei are going south, but..."

"It may be much more serious than you think!"

Cao Cao took a sip of warm wine, his indifferent eyes flickered with anger, and said in a low voice: "Yuan Benchu ​​defeated Luoyang, I thought he should stop, but he just didn't stop. First, find a sense of superiority, and then Gu will tolerate him. At this time, it is a fact that our Wei army is unstable. It is hard to say whether we can hold the southern front. Everything can only be tolerated, but he, Yuan Benchu, is too deceitful. He wants to take the opportunity to eat up the Central Plains, and has even prepared all his strength in Hebei, but the Southern Central Plains has plans, and Gu must come back to deal with this, otherwise the Central Plains court will be in danger!"

"I've always been worried about what changes will happen in the north!" Xun Yu couldn't help but sigh: "After all, I still know Yuan Benchu. , He really doesn't care about anything, but I thought, he is somewhat rational, after all, there is a wolf that looks like a sheep looking down on him to the north!"

"He looks down on Liu Xuande!"

Cao Cao shook his head: "Although Liu Xuande has the name of an uncle, he was only obtained by fraud. How many people in the world admit it, it is hard to say. He is the Queen of Zhongshan King Jing, but he can't even get the family certificate. In Yuan Shao's class In the eyes of the children of the aristocratic family, he is just an ordinary man who weaves straw sandals!"

"He will suffer!"

Xun Yu sneered: "Liu Xuande is the most ruthless man with a sweet tongue and a sword in his belly. He usually speaks of benevolence and righteousness, but when it comes to critical moments, he can be by his side. He is a heroic talent. Like a poisonous snake, he pretends to be harmless. But if you open your mouth and bite it, it will definitely kill you!"

"So Gu never dared to underestimate him, Liu Xuande!" Cao Cao's eyes flickered, and he sighed: "This person is even better than Yuan Benchu, but this time, Gu still has to cooperate with him, otherwise he won't be able to eat Yuan Shao !"

"My lord intends to eat Hebei in one bite?" Xun Yu frowned.

"Ok!"

Cao Cao played with the wine cup in his hand, his eyes were bright or dark, his expression was indifferent, and he said softly: "At this point, Yuan Benchu ​​wants to seek death, and Gu can only accompany him to the end, because behind Gu, there is a man from the Ming Dynasty. , the Ming army is ferocious, like a cliff, you can't retreat half a step alone, and you can only find a way to survive if you move forward!"

If Yuan Shao didn't go south, he was going to recuperate, but if Yuan Shao went south, he could only fight. Otherwise, as long as he showed a little bit of fatigue, he would have suppressed the Ming army and would rush forward like a wolf.

He never dared to underestimate Mu Jing's determination to kill himself.

Just like himself, his determination to kill Mujing is as firm as ever. Whenever there is even the slightest chance, he will be desperate to kill Mujing first.

"My lord, this may not be an opportunity!"

Xun Yu said suddenly.

"what chance?"

"The great Han is united, fight together!" Xun Yu took a deep breath, bowed his hands and saluted, first made a more apologetic gesture, and said: "My lord, it is not Xun Yu who is self-deprecating. In fact, we cannot defeat the Ming Kingdom. I believe that the lord already understands it in his heart, but the lord may not be willing to admit it. The Ming Dynasty will become stronger and stronger. In the past, the Ming Kingdom could only defend against us, but after this battle, the Ming Dynasty will take the initiative to attack, and they will be unscrupulous. Attack, nibble away at our territory bit by bit, and finally unify the world!"

"Whether we, the lord, Jiangdong, or Youzhou, are pulled out individually, none of them is an opponent of the Ming Dynasty, and even if they are combined, they may not be able to compete with the Ming Dynasty. Ming Kingdom, recover the lost land!"

Xun Yu said.

"Will they be willing?" Cao Cao narrowed his eyes.

"Yuan Shao will definitely not agree, even if he promises verbally, he will not accept it in his heart, so Hebei must go south, no matter if we win it, or share it with Youzhou, or even divide it with Jiangdong Youzhou, it doesn't matter, as long as we can go south to Hebei smoothly !"

Xun Yu thought for a while, and said: "I just took this opportunity to test Liu Xuande and Sun Bofu to see if they have the heart to unite. I believe they can understand the current situation, not Yuan Benchu's kind. Short-sighted people, but if they really don't have a long-term vision, we can only change our strategy, we must first secure our internal affairs, and we can only win them first in the future before we are qualified to fight against the Ming army!"

"it is good!"

Cao Cao nodded: "I will leave this matter to you to arrange!"
