Chapter 442: Tongquetai Barbecue Party

At this time, Cao Cao couldn't believe that Cao Zhi would attack him!

In his opinion, Cao Zhi has always been a simple-minded person.

Even if you have the courage, you shouldn't have such a plan.

"Where is Zijian now?" Cao Cao pressed on step by step.

Zhao Da also answered locally: "It should be outside the palace!"

"In his residence, he drank wine and composed poetry with his friends and scholars."

Unexpectedly, after listening to this report.

Cao Cao couldn't help but laugh out of anger!

"Haha, you are such a good son of mine!"

"I am now in prison, but he is sleeping peacefully in his mansion."

"In this case, he was the first one to pick himself out!"

Zhao Da also trembled when he heard this:
"Don't worry, my lord. The two young masters have arrived in time to save you."

"I believe the thieves will be brought to justice soon!"

It would have been better if he didn't say it, but after he said that, Cao Cao suddenly remembered something!
Looking at his two sons who arrived in time at the bottom of the tall building.

Cao Cao's face was also full of doubts at this time!

The trust in his two sons collapsed in an instant!

Was this a carefully designed coincidence, or did Cao Zhi really have evil intentions? Or was he dissatisfied with the succession issue?

The residual effect of alcohol and deep thoughts combined to give Cao Cao a splitting headache and he almost fainted.

But his strong will enabled him to hold on.

At this moment, except Xu Chu who was fighting bloody battles below.

All his trust in the rest of them was gone.

Even including the two sons who rushed to the rescue.

After all, they now have so many troops and they are moving so fast.

One can't help but wonder whether these two groups are here to rescue themselves.

Or do they have something to hide?

And just as Cao Cao was thinking about this.

Suddenly, there were flashes of fire on the horizon.

Dancing wildly in the night like a fire dragon.

And in the light illuminated by that torch.

Huge flags with the word "Yu" and "Cao" fluttered in the wind.

Although we haven't gotten close yet, the deafening drums and slogans are already ringing in our ears!
"All troops, listen up!" A voice pierced through the smoke, resoundingly loud.

"Kill without mercy, any rebels or rebels who besiege the Bronze Sparrow Tower will not be left alive!"

Upon hearing the sound, Cao Zhang, who was fighting a desperate battle with the rebels, couldn't help but relax.

I was able to arrive at this critical moment.

The only ones left behind were Yu Jin and Cao Hong's troops who stayed outside Yecheng.

The flag of this army was flying the names of these two people.

Now the two of them are leading the army outside the city like a divine force descending from the sky.

And the reason why they were able to arrive quickly.

It was all thanks to Sima De's wise move when the chaos first occurred.

He had been there the moment the riot broke out in the Wei Palace and the fire suddenly appeared outside the city.

He sent someone to the camp outside the city to inform Yu Jin and Cao Hong.

After all, in this huge Yecheng.

In such a turbulent situation.

There are only a handful of generals whom Cao Cao can trust unconditionally.

Yu Jin, who had strict military discipline and was entrusted with important tasks by Cao Cao.

And Cao Hong, who repeatedly made contributions to saving the emperor.

Even Cao Cao was his most trusted general.

As for other clan generals, for example, Xiahou Dun and Cao Chun.

Sima De did not dare to entrust it easily.

After all, the situation in the Wei Palace is unpredictable and the situation in Ye City is changing rapidly.

Most of these people supported Cao Pi.

At that time, it is inevitable that some people will do something incredible to support Cao Pi.

On the other side, there was Shaofu Geng Ji who came to assassinate the king.

He was commanding the rebels to attack Tongque Tower.

From afar, we could see Yu Jin and Cao Hong leading a large army approaching.

In addition to the horror in my heart, I felt even more determined!
He caught a glimpse of the stairs where Xu Chu was guarding. His original idea of ​​capturing Cao Cao alive and forcing him to return power to the emperor was instantly shattered.

Since there is no way to be decent now, let's just go all the way!
Thinking of this, Geng Ji immediately roared and ordered:
"Pass the order down, prepare the fire arrows!"

"Shoot it into the Bronze Sparrow Tower!"

Then he burst into laughter:
"Hahaha! Cao Cao!"

"Today you and I will be buried in the sea of ​​fire together!"

Accompanied by crazy laughter, he also took the lead.

His rebel troops followed closely behind.

All of a sudden, thousands of rockets streaked across the night sky, whistling sounds were heard.

"Swish, swish, swish!" Just a few breaths.

The rockets that followed one after another enveloped the Bronze Sparrow Tower in a sea of ​​fire!
The main body of the Bronze Sparrow Tower is mostly made of wood.

Once a fire breaks out, it cannot be easily extinguished.

For a moment, the wind fueled the fire and the fire took advantage of the wind's power.

It seemed as if the next moment, the entire Tongque Tower.

It will become a torch standing in the center of Yecheng.

Sima De, who witnessed all this not far away, found it difficult to calm down.

If his cheap father-in-law died here today.

This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the Cao Wei regime!
Not to mention that if Cao Cao dies here, the Central Plains and the north will be torn apart.

After all, since Cao Cao took office as Sikong.

The hegemonic government system he established was unprecedentedly powerful.

Even the authority of the emperors in the past was difficult to match.

Under the hegemony, both civil and military staff are equally important.

His powers were equal to or even greater than those of other officials in the imperial court.

This system ensured that even Cao Cao, the lord, would fall.

The hegemonic system remains indestructible.

His successors can also naturally continue to be above the imperial power.

It is even possible that dynasties may be changed and the emperor may be deposed and enthroned.

So, if Cao Cao was really roasted by Geng Ji here!
The one who benefits can only be Cao Pi, the eldest son!
And this result is definitely what Sima De does not want to see!
So at this moment, facing the flames rising into the sky.

Sima De didn't care about his own safety. He shouted:

"Ziwen! Cut your way out quickly."

"Don't let that thief Geng Ji succeed!"

"The most urgent task is to get my father-in-law out of trouble!"

At the same time, the sword in his hand flashed.

Suddenly, there broke out a bravery that was not even that of a civil servant!
He killed several rebel soldiers in front of him in a row!
This attitude has completely disregarded life and death.

Cao Zhang reacted instantly after hearing this!

"Brothers! Kill the thief Geng Ji first!"

At the same time, he raised his head and shouted towards the Bronze Sparrow Tower:

"Father! Come downstairs quickly!"

"That pavilion is not a place to stay for long now!"

When he turned around, he saw Cao Pi fighting hard in the distance and roared:
"Cao Pi, you fool!"

"What's the point of fighting with pawns right now?"

"Capture the leader first! Join me in killing this traitor Geng Ji!"

At this time, Cao Zhang had already abandoned his previous silly look.

All that remains is the passion and determination to protect my home and save my father.

Cao Cao, who was on the Bronze Sparrow Tower, witnessed the changing situation.

At this time, he frowned and pondered:
"A kind and virtuous son-in-law, Ziwen, my son with yellow beard!"

"It seems that you two have nothing to do with this matter."

Cao Cao hesitated for a moment.

He also turned and looked at the commander of the school affairs office, Zhao Da, who was kneeling beside him.

The voice was calm but unquestionable:

"Zhao Da! Lead your troops and follow me downstairs!"

After saying this, Cao Cao glanced at the trembling scholars.

There was a flash of disdain in his eyes as he said, "Gentlemen."

"Today, the rioters have ruined our fun."

"Wait until I capture that traitor, then I'll drink with you all!"
