The Three Kingdoms: A vicious plan was offered, and Liu Bei was stunned!

Chapter 152: He tried to provoke Cao Hong and was beaten severely, and Madam Bian was worried about the heavens.

As Cao Cao finished speaking, Xu Zhu kicked Cao Hong to the ground and started beating him up. After the beating, Xu Zhu casually bowed to Cao Cao and said, "My lord, I have captured him and rewarded him with a beating. If it is not enough, my lord, I will beat him again. I will not be polite."

Xu Zhu looked at Cao Hong with great disdain.

Although he did not understand the art of war, he could see that Cao Hong was instigating him in front of his lord. How could his lord not see it?

Besides, Gong Qi taught me a set of cavalry tactics!

He can be considered as my own master.

I, Xu Zhu, am always polite to Luo Yuan. Do you think you are qualified to sow discord between my lord and Luo Yuan?
Cao Hong's face was covered in blood, his nose was broken, and his face was swollen, looking like a cooked pig's head. It was impossible to see his original appearance clearly.

Cao Cao gave Xu Zhu a cold look, saying he was too cruel!
Cao Hong was still unconvinced: "My Lord, why did you arrest me? Why? I don't accept it!"

Cao Cao didn't say anything, but turned around and looked at Cheng Yu: "Who has Cao Hong been in contact with recently, and who has he met with?"

Cheng Yu was stunned and didn't dare to say anything.

Cao Cao had a special agency under him called the "Case-Traitors" which was responsible for intelligence and monitoring all officials. He was also worried that someone would rebel against him, so all the generals under Cao were actually being watched by him.

The person in charge of intelligence is the military advisor Cheng Yu.

Cao Cao was not in a hurry either, and Cheng Yu's hesitation spoke volumes!

Xu Zhu saw that you didn't say anything, so I said, "My lord, I know that Cao Hong has been in close contact with Master Zijian recently. They even drank together yesterday!"

Cao Hong immediately started to curse: "Xu Zhu, you haven't harmed me enough, you still want to harm me, you bastard, worse than pigs and dogs!"

Xu Zhu said: "How dare you say that you didn't meet and drink with Master Zijian yesterday? I met you on the road, and you told me that Master Zijian was the successor of the master."

Cao Cao frowned when he heard this. He had never revealed a single clue about the successor to anyone else. How could Cao Hong be sure that it was Cao Zhi?
Moreover, he had already ordered Cao Zhi to stay at home, so how could outsiders go there to drink?
It seems that Cao Zhi turned a deaf ear to his orders.

The corner of Cao Cao's mouth twitched slightly. Cheng Yu felt a chill in his heart when he saw it. Cao Cao wanted to kill him.

If he doesn't speak anymore, Cao Hong might not survive.

Cheng Yu hurriedly said, "My lord, Cao Hong did see the Second Young Master yesterday. He just heard that the Second Young Master was under house arrest, so he went to visit him. He left soon after. He did not violate the Lord's orders!"

Cao Cao knew that Cheng Yu wanted to help Cao Hong and Cao Zhi, and he smiled immediately.

"If that's the case, then I won't pursue it. But Cao Hong just tried to provoke me. Take him out and beat him with a hundred military sticks!"

Cheng Yu and others breathed a sigh of relief and felt that this was okay.

Xu Zhu was ready to make a move: "My Lord, I will go and fight."

Cheng Yu and others' faces changed drastically again. If Xu Zhu goes to fight, will Cao Hong still be alive?
It goes without saying that Xu Zhu would beat Cao Hong to death.

Cheng Yu said quickly: "To carry out the punishment, a minor official would be enough. Why bother the general? Wouldn't it be detrimental to your status?"

Xu Zhu laughed and said, "I love beating people and fighting the most in my life, why can't I do it?"

Cheng Yu and others were anxious and ignored Xu Zhu. They just looked at Cao Cao to see what Cao Cao meant. If Cao Cao agreed, then he would kill Cao Hong. If he disagreed, then Cao Cao could survive.

'

Cao Hong was a relative after all. Cao Cao thought for a moment and said, "Let someone else go. Xu Zhu, you should be more honest!"

Cheng Yu and his men ordered to take Cao Hong away to prevent him from being killed.

Xun You thought about it and said to Cao Cao, "Prime Minister, should Gongqi's matter continue? Now Zhen Mi's affair can no longer be concealed, and his marriage..." Zhen Mi's affair has implicated Luo Yuan and Cao Cao.

Then should Luo Yuan and Cao Jie’s marriage continue?

Cao Cao said, "Gongqi and I know each other well. I want to marry him as my son-in-law. Why should I give up because of such a small incident? The wedding will go on. Gongqi doesn't care about face, so why should I care about face?"

"But it will damage the reputation of the lord after all, not to mention that this matter is related to the eldest son," Xun You said.

Zhen Mi was given to Luo Yuan by Cao Pi.

Cao Cao smiled and said, "No problem!"

Xu Zhu laughed.

Cao Cao was surprised and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Xu Zhu said: "My lord, this matter involves you, Luo Gongqi, and Cao Pi. Who is the mastermind? It must be the person who looks unrelated. I think it is Cao Zhi who is talking behind the scenes!"

Cao Cao was stunned when he heard this, but after thinking about it, it really made sense!

Only Cao Zhi is fine?
Is that a coincidence?
Cheng Yu and others looked at Xu Zhu and wished they could strangle him to death. Who told you to talk nonsense?

How dare you say that!

They were all smart people and naturally thought of it, but no one dared to say it in front of Cao Cao. Wouldn't this make Cao Cao suspect his own son?
However, Xu Zhu exposed the matter.

Xu Zhu had long looked down upon the nobles around Cao Zhi. What kind of people are they?
Those nobles looked down on military commanders like him.

Now that he has the chance, of course he will take advantage of the situation. After all, he is just a rough guy, and that is a fact that everyone knows.

Cao Cao was suspicious, but he did not show it and did not say anything at the moment. He let everyone go and returned to the back house.

Seeing Cao Cao frowning, Madam Bian asked, and Cao Cao just said something that made Madam Bian startled: "Meng De suspects Zi Jian?"

"He is the most likely one. You don't know that Gongqi is already angry," Cao Cao said
Mrs. Bian looked at Cao Cao with dissatisfaction. It was not good for Luo Yuan to be angry, but there was no need to doubt his own child.

"Zijian wouldn't do that. Besides, the story about Zhen Mi is true. It will be fine once he gets over his anger."
"How do you know that Gongqi is a master of poison? He used poisonous smoke to kill tens of thousands of Zhou Yu's navy. If he really gets angry, how many people will die in Yecheng?" Cao Cao said, "Besides, Gongqi has done such a thing in Yecheng. As the lord of Yecheng, how can I lose face?"

The incident involving Zhen Mi could have been forgotten over time, but now someone has exposed it, which is embarrassing for him and Luo Yuan as well!
How can others be afraid of him if he doesn't do something?

Madam Bian was shocked by what Cao Cao said: "Is Gongqi so vicious?"

One person killed Zhou Yu and tens of thousands of people?

This person turned out to be his son-in-law!

Wouldn’t such a cruel person get his retribution and die early? Wouldn’t his daughter become a widow then?
Madam Bian immediately said, "Why not postpone the wedding of Cao Jie and Gong Qi?"

Madam Bian was horrified. Such a man was too cruel: "Meng De, Gong Qi has killed too many people. I am afraid that God will not bless him."

Cao Cao smiled bitterly and said, "I have killed many people. Aren't you cursing me?"

It was also Cao Cao who fought countless battles and killed more people than Luo Yuan.

In fact, Mrs. Bian still didn't want Cao Jie to marry Luo Yuan, but looking at Cao Cao's attitude, she was afraid that he would not consider his words at all.

Suddenly he sighed helplessly.
