Who is not Cao Cao?

Chapter 59
Just as Sikong Mansion was making efforts, a group of people gathered in Situ Mansion next to it.

"Cao Mengde is in the position of the three princes, and he behaves like a tyrant, polluting the country, abusing the people, and poisoning ghosts. In addition, the fine government is harsh, the science and defense are set up with each other, the roads are filled with roads, the pits are blocked, and the hands are hung up. The snares are used to trap, so there are boring people in Yan and Yu, and the emperor has grievances!"

Sitting on the most central seat was Situ Zhao Wen, who followed the Han court all the way from Luoyang to Chang'an, and then from Chang'an to Xuchang.

"Now his adopted son, He Yan, is even more cunning and cruel. He actually killed the famous scholar Yuan Lang for no reason!"

"These wolves are no less vicious than Dong Zhuo! I can't just sit back and do nothing!"

After going around so much, Zhao Wen still pointed his finger at Cao Cao.

"Now that General Yuan is attacking Cao Cao, and Cao Cao has been exposed, it is time for us to obey the emperor's order and fight against the villains!"

In addition to Zhao Wen, there are many courtiers who still support the Han Dynasty.

In other words, they are not supporting the Han Dynasty, but have their own views in the process of supporting the Han Dynasty.

Cao Cao, who was originally regarded by them as a savior, is now no different from Dong Zhuo in their eyes.

Their ideal restoration of the Han Dynasty should be that the princes should serve the emperor with all their strength, and the emperor's prestige should return to the past.In this way, these ministers who are attached to the imperial power will also regain power.

There are also some celebrities from the Central Plains who are dissatisfied with Cao Cao, and some aristocratic families from Yanzhou and Yuzhou.

These people either stood on the wrong team or lost their interests in the process of Cao Cao's growth, but at this moment they are all united and want to cut flesh from Cao Cao who is about to fall.

After Zhao Wen spoke generously for a while, he pulled Zhao Dao and asked in a low voice: "When you went, He Yan was really the only one. Did you meet any other descendants of the Cao family?"

Zhao Dao was also extremely depressed at this time: "No!"

"And the one who came to report to the officials at that time was the adopted son of the Cao family, Cao Zhen. There were so many people at that time, I couldn't detain him for interrogation."

Yuan Lang, it's just bait.

This is true for both Zhao Wen and He Yan.

But the difference is that He Yan caught Zhao Wen behind him, but Zhao Wen didn't use Yuan Lang to catch Cao's heir behind He Yan.

Zhao Wen also shook his head, a little pity.

Originally, he wanted to provoke Cao's heirs to break the law, so that he could unite those celebrities to fight against Cao Cao.

If it was just He Yan, the effect would be greatly reduced.

"Father, what shall we do next?"

Zhao Dao went to arrest He Yan, but in fact, he had already left a small tail.

And afterward Xun Yu rushed to Tingwei's prison in a hurry, Zhao Dao suspected that Xun Yu already had a guess in his mind.

"No hurries?"

Zhao Wen disagreed.

He is Situ!

Big Han San Gong!

With this layer of amulet, unless Cao Cao came back and broke his face with him, Xun Yu would have nothing to do with him!
"Although He Yan is Cao Cao's adopted son, he should still have some weight in Cao Cao's eyes!"

"Bringing the news of He Yan's detention to the front line, we don't want Cao Mengde to be confused, as long as he is distracted when confronting General Yuan, and we are defeated as soon as possible, that is enough for us!"

"And I heard that He Yan didn't know how to do some amazing tricks to increase the output of cloth several times! He also cultivated a lot of fields, but this wealth is not a small amount."

Zhao Wen was already planning to eat He Yan alive, but Zhao Dao was still worried: "Father, He Yan's grandfather was General He Jin after all, and then He Jin is old as General Yuan, you say..."

Zhao Wen chuckled.

"Don't worry about He Yan not dying. According to me, I wouldn't be surprised if Yuan Shao left Cao Pi and the others alive, but He Yan must die!"

Zhao Wen revealed the unknown side to Zhao Dao: "Empress He and Beauty Wang of Emperor Ling had the sons of King Hongnong respectively, but Empress He was jealous, so she quietly killed Beauty Wang!"

"So, He Yan and the current emperor are feuds! If Cao Cao hadn't protected He Yan, he would have been torn to pieces by the emperor!"

Not to mention, back then He Jin was trying to protect Liu Bian, who was born of Empress He, as emperor!With Liu Xie, there is even more hatred for seizing the throne!
Why would Yuan Shao keep He Yan alive for He Jin's sake...

As long as the emperor sits on the throne for a day, then He Yan's head will be tied to the waistband of his trousers for a day, and it will not fall on his neck at all!
Zhao Dao didn't know that there was an old grievance in it, so he could only sigh that the court affairs are really complicated...

But Zhao Dao was still a little worried: "Father, what if Yuan Shao also learns from Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao after he invades Xuchang?"

Zhao Wen's face froze, and even his previous smile became a bit stiff.

"What nonsense!"

"How can Yuan Benchu ​​be compared with Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao? His family has four generations and three generations, and he has been a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty! A leader of scholars! He is not a Xiliang barbarian like Dong Zhuo, nor is he a descendant of an eunuch like Cao Cao. How could he be so rebellious? thing!"

"At best, he is just like Liang Ji and He Jin!"

"What's more, today's son is intelligent and benevolent, and he already has the demeanor of a wise emperor! But with the help of good ministers, he will definitely be able to help the Han Dynasty from its decline and rejuvenate the Han Dynasty!"

Zhao Wen was a little hysterical when he said these words.

Yuan Shao, who was born as a scholar, is their last hope!

Whoever drowns out this shred of hope is his son, and he still won't let him go!
"Here! Father, the child is wrong..."

Zhao Dao had no choice but to lower his head, but the melancholy between his brows did not decrease but increased.

The people Zhao Wen sent out to spread the news returned to Xuchang in despair before reaching Guandu.

It turned out that Xun Yu had dispatched soldiers a few days ago to block all the gateways from Yuzhou to other places and not allow anyone to pass through.

Not only that……

After Yuzhou was completely closed, there was another news that completely detonated Yuzhou!

The government... opened the granary!
Almost in an instant, food was abundant everywhere, and the price of food, which had been high due to the war, plummeted, almost lower than the price of food before the Yellow Turban Rebellion!

"Is Xun Yu crazy?"

"The war is over?"

Cao Cao's soldiers were still hungry on the front line at Guandu, but Xun Yu dared to open the granary... Did he think Cao Cao died of starvation fast enough?

Some aristocratic families who sensed that the situation was not right have sent people to inquire about the news.

"It's He Yan!"

"The cloth he produces is no longer used to buy fields, but to buy grain at a high price in Jingzhou, and then transport it back to Yuzhou at a low price for sale!"

"That is to say, for every stone of grain they sell, they lose three buckets!"

Everyone who knew the news looked at each other in blank dismay, obviously not knowing what He Yan was trying to do with such a self-destructive move.
