Uncle Emperor, I am really not Wolong Zhuge!

Chapter 17 Xuchang Incident
Liu Bei visited the thatched cottage three times and finally invited Zhuge Ming to leave Wollongong and head for the new wilderness!

"Although I can go to Xinye with the emperor's uncle, I cannot serve as a military advisor!"

Liu Bei heard Zhuge Ming's words very clearly.

But he still believed that Mr. Zhuge was able to condescend and be willing to go to the new wilderness, which was considered to have made significant progress!

As long as I am pious enough, Mr. Zhuge will be able to use me and help me achieve great things!

"Brother, congratulations, your trip is well worth it!"

Guan Yu's horse took two steps to catch up with Liu Bei, and said with a secret smile.

"Second brother, you are also responsible for your contribution. Without your help, my husband may not be willing to agree to go out and return to Xinye with you and me."

Liu Bei quietly turned around and glanced at Zhuge Ming, who was walking slowly behind, trying his best to restrain his excitement.

"Brother, you just took off your pants and farted, looking for trouble! It seems like a scholar like this can solve a problem with a piece of hemp rope and two pawns, but you have to run three times in a row, how much time wasted!"

Zhang Fei swallowed his anger and followed Liu Bei and Guan Yu to pay homage to Zhuge Ming in the thatched cottage. At this time, he could finally release his emotions and said in a rough voice.

"Third brother!!"

"If you keep talking nonsense like this, my brother will drive you back to Zhuo County!"

Liu Bei was very worried!
I have spent a lot of effort to persuade Mr. Zhuge to come out. If you offend him with a few words and make him turn around, wouldn't it be a failure?
"Okay! Brother, I'm afraid of you!"

"Hebei has long been conquered by Cao's thieves, and Zhuojun has become the domain of the Cao family. If you ask me to return to Zhuojun, you are not asking me to die!"

"My brother has a husband, so he won't want to see us brothers anymore!"

Zhang Fei has a straightforward temperament. At this time, he was scolded by Liu Bei. He felt a sense of loss in his heart. It seemed that his eldest brother Liu Bei was gradually losing his love for brothers and was relying too much on the unknown scholar Zhuge!

"Brother, I heard that Cao Cao is not going to invade the south. Our Xinye is in a strategic location. Sooner or later, we will have to compete with Cao's army! This time, sir, may he use his magic skills to defeat Cao's thieves again?"

Guan Yu asked in a low voice, his eyes shining with expectation.

"Last time, before my husband came out of the mountain, he had already planned a strategy to win a thousand-mile victory. He had Cao Ren's military strategy in his hands."

"My husband must have planned his move to Xinye this time, and everything is under his control! I guess he will definitely make big moves once he arrives in Xinye!"

The three brothers walked side by side, full of expectations!
……

Xuchang.

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty came to court.

Most of the civil and military officials on the left and right were Cao Cao's close and old ministers.

Cao Cao himself, with the sword Tai'a hanging on his waist, stood at the head of the squad.

Entering the court without trending, praising without being famous, and walking on the sword!

To Prime Minister Cao, the Han Emperor's Jinluan Palace was no different from his own Kangtou!
He could sit up or down at will, go to court with weapons and weapons, and even talk to the emperor without saluting.

"Your Majesty, Liu Biao of Jingzhou has refused to obey the emperor's edict and has rebelled long ago. Liu Bei's rampant behavior is really a problem for me! Sun Quan of Jiangdong is even more separatist and has a strong intention to disobey the emperor."

"I plan to raise troops in the near future, first attack Jingxiang, and then recover Jiangdong to relieve your majesty's worries!"

Cao Cao did not leave his job, nor did he salute, but said directly.

"This one……"

"It all depends on the Prime Minister!"

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was not a confused monarch.

But ever since Dong Cheng failed to fend off the thieves and was discovered by Cao Cao, the entire Dong family was wiped out, and even the emperor's main palace, the empress dowager, was dragged out and given poisonous wine.

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was completely defeated. Since then, he has lost the motivation to resist. He no longer has any hope for the country and the future!
No matter how much you love, as long as you can survive for even one day, you will be extremely lucky!

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, I think this is not allowed!"

Before Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty finished speaking, a man suddenly walked out of the squad and said loudly.

Kong Rong!

Kong Beihai!
"Kong Rong, what do you have to say?"

Cao Cao sneered, staring at Kong Rong with lightning eyes.

"Your Majesty, Liu Bei and Liu Biao are both clan members of the Han Dynasty and cannot be attacked lightly. Sun Quan from Jiangdong has lived for three generations and has the natural dangers of the Yangtze River, so it is not easy to conquer him. Now that the Prime Minister is taking this unknown force, he may lose the popularity of the world!"

Kong Rong directly ignored Prime Minister Cao, knelt down under the imperial steps, knelt on the ground and reported the matter.

"This one……"

"Kong Aiqing..."

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty looked embarrassed and secretly complained in his heart!

Didn't he know that Liu Bei and Liu Biao were both his descendants? For more than a dozen generations, they were all compatriots born from the same father!

But he couldn't help himself, and he had no right to speak at all.

"Your Majesty, Liu Biao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan are all rebellious ministers. How can we not attack them?"

Cao Cao glared angrily and shouted sternly.

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was so frightened that his face turned pale!
He just wanted to hide and breathe, but it was a pity that Kong Rong did not understand the current situation and insisted on pushing him to the forefront!

"Well...it's all up to the Prime Minister to make the decision. Kong Aiqing, please step aside!"

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was sweating coldly. Seeing Cao Cao's anger filling his chest, he said tremblingly. "Why!"

When Kong Rong saw Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty's extremely cowardly look, he immediately became despairing.

"Even if you are unkind and attack the most benevolent, you will be defeated sooner or later!"

Kong Rong sighed and walked out slowly.

"My three armies have not moved yet, how dare you disturb the morale of my army and curse me?"

Cao Cao was furious!
"I heard that when you were in Beihai, Liu Bei saved your life. You always kept it in your heart and waited for an opportunity to repay you! But today, as a Han official, you actually speak for the disobedient people! You deserve to be killed!"

"kill!"

Cao Cao was furious in his chest, especially when he saw Kong Rong's arrogant attitude that never looked at him, he couldn't bear it: "Where is Zhong Kang!"

"Here!"

A man turned around from outside the hall and came to the door. He was tall and had a beard as thick as iron. It was Xu Chu, the tiger fool!

Xu Chu stood at the door, stretched out his left hand to grab Kong Rong's collar, held the knife in his right hand, and chopped off Kong Rong's head in front of the officials!

Emperor Xian was so shocked that he almost fell off the imperial desk!
The people in Cao Cao's main hall shouted loudly: "Kong Rong was unfilial to his mother and disrespected the sages. His sin is unforgivable!"

All the officials were shocked, their faces were ashen and they dared not say anything!
Cao Cao sneered, killing the chicken to scare the monkeys, from now on, let's see if any of you dare to disobey my wishes again!
My words are the decree!

The emperor's words?Maybe it's just bullshit!
Cao Cao walked away with his sword in hand and laughed, followed by all the counselors and generals leaving one after another.

Only Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and a few insignificant civil servants were left standing tremblingly in the court hall, looking at the head of Kong Rong's corpse on the ground and the pool of blood that was still uncongealed.

……

There is another meeting in the prime minister's house.

Although it is not as majestic as the Jinluan Palace, its efficiency is higher than that of the Early Dynasty!

"My lord, after I destroyed Yuan Shao and secured Liaodong, the only people the world is worried about are Liu Biao from Jingzhou, Sun Quan from Jiangdong, and Ma Teng from Xiliang!"

"If the Prime Minister marches south, Xiliang Ma Teng suddenly attacks and orders my rear to set fire, it will definitely affect the morale of my front troops! If we attack Xuchang and kidnap the emperor, it will be even more devastating!"

Cheng Yu stood up and said.

Cao Cao nodded and thought it was true: "Ma Teng is in Xiliang, located in a remote area. Now he and Liu Biao of Jingzhou are at odds with each other. I can't look at both ends. It's really difficult to deal with."

"Generals, do you have any opinions?"

Cao Ren stood up and said: "My younger brother is not talented. I have led one hundred thousand elite troops to guard Yangping Pass to guard against Ma Tengdong's invasion!"

Cao Cao waved his hands repeatedly and frowned: "I conquered Jingxiang and Xutu Jiangdong. There are many places where people can be used. The whole army is dispatched and they feel that they are short of manpower. How can we divide our troops to defend the west?"

"If you have any other good ideas, please tell me."

Everyone was talking among themselves and had no idea!
Ma Teng from Xiliang and his son Ma Chao are both famous heroes in the world. They are not ordinary generals who can resist him!
But if all-powerful generals such as Zhang Liao and Cao Ren are sent out, the southern theater will have weak troops!
"My Lord, I have a plan that can relieve the Prime Minister's worries."

Suddenly a person broke the silence and said slowly.

"Oh? Wen He? What clever ideas can you teach me!"

When Cao Cao saw it was Jia Xu, he immediately became interested, with a strange light in his eyes!
"My lord is worried about Ma Teng and his son!"

"It's better for the Prime Minister to fake the name of the Emperor, summon Ma Teng to the capital, make him the General of the Eastern Conquest, and order him to conquer the Eastern Wu!"

"With this plan, no matter whether he accepts it or not, he will definitely come to Xuchang to express his gratitude. As long as Ma Teng enters Xuchang, the Lord will have ways to deal with him!

Jia Xu said with a smile, but there was a cold and sinister air in his eyes!

"This is a great plan!"

Cao Cao applauded and laughed: "As long as he is framed in Xuchang, given a title of official in the capital, and made unable to leave Xuchang, he can be used as a hostage so that Ma Chao's Xiliang troops will not dare to invade easily!"

Cao Cao had to act quickly and never delay. He immediately ordered people to send a message to Xiliang in the name of the emperor's imperial edict, announcing that Ma Teng would enter Xuchang!
"My lord, I have something to report to my lord."

Xun Yu, the chief military advisor, suddenly stood up and said.

"Oh?"

"Wen Ruo, if you have anything to say, just say it!"

Cao Cao waved his hand and said.

"I received a letter from the Jingzhou clan. It seems that the defeat of Xinye the day before yesterday was not due to Zhuge Liang's plan!"

After Xun Yu informed the Jingzhou clan that Cao Cao was about to go south, the Jingzhou clan's reply also briefly stated the events in Jingzhou.

Of course, Xinye’s secret cannot be avoided.

Huang Chengyan killed him with one bite. The man from Xinye was definitely not his son-in-law Zhuge Liang!

Therefore, the four major clans jointly responded to the Xun family in Yingchuan and explained the matter.

"Isn't it Zhuge Liang?"

Cao Cao was confused for a while!
"Other than Zhuge Liang, who else in the world can devise such a seamless and watertight plan?"

"If it's not Zhuge Liang in Xinye, then who is it?"

Cao Cao lowered his head and pondered, and said nothing for a long time!
