The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 315 Chapter 314
The sudden appearance of Cao Cao surprised everyone. It was rumored that Cao Cao was poisoned and would die soon. However, Cao Cao standing in front of everyone today looked refreshed, majestic and radiant, just like normal people. There is no difference.Even better than normal people's complexion.

Ju Shou quickly glanced at Cao Cao, and Dian Wei, Xiahou Dun, Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Xun You, Cheng Yu, Man Chong and others who followed behind Cao Cao.In addition, Jushou was surprised to see Xu You and Xun Chen in the crowd.

Cao Cao's sudden visit made Jushou feel an unprecedented tension. Cao Cao, Dian Wei, Xiahou Dun and others were all fully armed, and the rest of the people also had gloomy faces. The visitors were not friendly.

"It was rumored in the army that General Cao was poisoned and would die soon..." Ju Shou frowned slightly, and said slowly, "Today I see that General Cao is full of energy and shows no signs of poisoning. It seems that it should be a rumor. ..."

As Cao Cao strode into the hall, he said expressionlessly: "Cao was indeed poisoned once, but after returning to Bingzhou, he sought medical treatment everywhere, and got a prescription by chance, which relieved his body." The deadly poison of the dead man was the only way to survive until today. As soon as I heard about Brother Benchu, I immediately led the subordinate officials to come to express my condolences. Unfortunately, I was a step late, and Brother Benchu ​​was buried yesterday. However , I still went to pay homage to the tomb of brother Ben Chu, and then came to the city, I don't want to meet all the adults and generals who will set up an heir here again..."

Speaking of this, Cao Cao looked at Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang separately, seeing the anger on Yuan Tan's face and the joy on Yuan Shang's face, and then he said: "The matter of establishing an heir is the family affair of Brother Benchu. Originally, I I don't want to interfere. However, when I came in and saw that the adults were also participating in the establishment of an heir, Cao couldn't help but say a few words."

"The matter of establishing an heir has been decided. The third son will take over the position of the old lord, lead us to revitalize Hebei, and avenge the old lord." Ju Shou said immediately.

Cao Cao sternly said: "Because of this, Cao couldn't see it, so he insisted on saying a few words. Since ancient times, the old and the young have been orderly, and it is unwise to abolish the old and establish the young. Today, the eldest son and the second son are still alive. , No matter how round, it will not be the turn of the third son, right? Moreover, the third son is still young, and has never been on the battlefield, so he can't stand on his own. In contrast, the eldest son has made great military achievements, and he often goes to the south and north with brother Benchu , made great contributions, all of which are obvious to all. For this reason, it is the most appropriate for the Eldest Young Master to take over the position of Brother Benchu!"

As soon as these words came out, people in Yuan Tan's camp immediately began to echo him, thinking that Cao Cao's words were extremely reasonable.

What had already been decided was just one step away, but an unexpected guest suddenly came and disrupted the whole situation, which made Jushou very upset.

Ju Shou immediately said: "General Cao, the matter of establishing an heir is of great importance. It is not only the family affairs of the old lord, but also the affairs of all our officials. Although the eldest son has made great military achievements and is the eldest son, he must inherit the position of the old lord. It must be for those who are capable. I discussed with the officials trusted by the old lord before his death, and carefully compared the abilities of the eldest son and the third son. We agreed that although the third son is still young, he has both civil and military skills. , is a rare successor. Although the third son has no military exploits, no experience in battle, and now he can't be alone, but with the help of me and all the adults, the third son will definitely become a talented master!"

Cao Cao retorted: "What a capable person! Well said, very well said! If this is the case, then it is even more appropriate for the eldest son to inherit the position of brother Benchu. Although the eldest son only has martial arts, There is no Wentao yet, but as long as all the lords work together to assist the eldest son, the eldest son will surely become a talented and generous lord."

Seeing that Cao Cao was leaning towards Yuan Tan, Mrs. Liu present couldn't sit still. She stood up immediately and reprimanded Cao Cao: "Cao Mengde! Look clearly, this is Yecheng! Not Jinyang! If you continue to mess around here, you will die." Don't blame me for being rude to you!"

Cao Cao glanced at Mrs. Liu. This woman is a famous shrew, Yuan Shao's wife, and the daughter of a prince of the Han Dynasty. She has the blood of the Han family in her body. Anyway, Yuan Shao is quite afraid of Mrs. Liu.

However, Cao Cao is not Yuan Shao, not to mention that he will not be afraid of internal affairs, let alone be afraid of this woman.

Since Cao Cao has come to Yecheng, he has no plan to go back. He has painstakingly planned for several years, and has been bearing the burden of humiliation, just for today.

Today, Cao Cao is going to be here to complete the last step that he has carefully planned for several years. As long as he completes this step, he can regroup and make a comeback!
Cao Cao glanced at Mrs. Liu and said with a sneer, "Oh? Well, I'd like to see how you're being rude to me!"

Madam Liu was furious immediately, and shouted loudly outside the hall: "Come on! Come on, take Cao Cao down!"

The voice is bright, high-pitched, typical soprano.

However, no one moved outside the hall.

"Where did everyone die?" Mrs. Liu asked angrily when she saw that no guards came in after waiting for a long time.

"Good question! Everyone died under my knife!" As soon as Mrs. Liu finished speaking, a voice came in from outside the hall, and then, with a "whoosh", a bloody human head came directly from the front of the hall. It was thrown in from outside the hall, rolled several times on the ground, and then stopped.

When everyone present saw this bloody head, they were all terrified, especially Mrs. Liu, her face turned pale with fright!
At this moment, there was a rush of heavy footsteps outside the hall, mixed with the crisp sound of the scales on the armor colliding. After a while, Xia Houyuan and Cao Hong led people into the hall from the outside. His armor, body, and face were all covered with sticky blood, and his eyes were even more radiant, scanning the crowd present.

"Is everything done?" Cao Cao asked calmly.

Xia Houyuan and Cao Hong replied in unison: "Don't worry, my lord. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed, and no one will be left behind. Now the entire city of Ye is full of our troops!"

At this moment, there was a commotion in the hall, and the officials present all changed color. These actions of Cao Cao were enough to prove that he had rebelled.

"Cao Cao! How dare you rebel?" Ju Shou frowned, stepped forward immediately, raised his hand, pointed at Cao Cao and questioned.

"Rebellion? Hahahaha..." Cao Cao laughed loudly, and the laughter was a little creepy for everyone to hear.

After Cao Cao stopped laughing, he said coldly: "The world belongs to the people of the world. Hebei does not belong to Yuan Shao alone. I, Cao Cao, also have a share! But if you are entangled here, just don’t choose it, let me be the Lord of Hebei! All the people in the hall today, who are willing to surrender to me, Mr. Cao, are still in their official positions, and those who are not willing to surrender, then I’m sorry I can only ask you to donate your heads!"

As soon as the words fell, Xia Houyuan and Cao Hong moved their hands, and the soldiers behind them rushed into the hall with bloody weapons.

All the people in the hall retreated to a corner. Although there were many generals among them, there was a clear rule in the election of the heir this time that they were not allowed to carry weapons to avoid accidents in the hall.Therefore, everyone who entered the hall was unarmed, and even the short blades and daggers they carried were searched out and thrown outside the hall.

But no one thought that Cao Cao, who had been neglected by everyone, led his troops into Yecheng secretly, quickly controlled the situation in the city, and surrounded everyone here.But until this time, Jushou, Tian Feng and others understood that Cao Cao had been stalling for time from the moment he entered the hall.

When Cao Cao saw that everyone was crowded together and surrounded by people led by Xia Houyuan and Cao Hong in a corner, he sneered and said unhurriedly, "I'll give you a stick of incense to think about it. If you want to die, why don't you die?" If you want to live, think about it yourself!"

As soon as the voice fell, the group of people surrounded in the corner all looked at each other in blank dismay. Whether it was death or life, it all depended on the difference between their thoughts.

Suddenly, Jushou and Tian Feng began to curse Cao Cao, and then Shenpei, Xin Ping, Pang Ji, Guo Tu and others also began to curse.Of course, the loudest voice of abuse was the first soprano Madam Liu.

Cao Cao turned a deaf ear to these scolding voices, but he felt that they were very noisy, and immediately ordered sharply: "Whoever dares to yell or scold again, immediately pull out and cut off his tongue!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone shut up one after another, but there were only two people who didn't care about it at all, and kept yelling and cursing. These two people were Ju Shou and Tian Feng.

Two people called Cao Cao a villain, a villain, and a villain, but these two people were educated people after all, and their ability to swear was not very high, so they couldn't hurt Cao Cao at all.

However, Cao Cao was still very angry that Jushou and Tian Feng did this openly. He immediately called Xiahou Dun and whispered something in his ear. Xiahou Dun nodded, and immediately pulled Jushou and Tian Feng out of the crowd, and Directly let the soldiers out of the hall.

After a while, only two screams were heard from outside the hall. Xiahou Dun walked into the hall with two bloody tongues and threw them on the ground.

When the rest of the people saw it, they all turned pale in panic and didn't dare to speak out, especially Mrs. Liu, she has always been pampered, how could she have experienced such a scene, she only felt a chill in her crotch, and she was so frightened that she became incontinent? , making a smell of urine in the hall.

After a stick of incense, Cao Cao walked up to the crowd and said loudly: "The time is up, all those who don't want to die, stand over there!"

As soon as the voice fell, many people ran to the location Cao Cao said, including Yuan Shao's eldest son Yuan Tan and youngest son Yuan Shang.

Of course, there were still people who didn't move. Yuan Xi, Shenpei, Pang Ji, Xin Ping, and Madam Liu didn't leave.However, Mrs. Liu was frightened, her legs were limp on the ground, and she couldn't stand up anymore, but she wanted to live. She lay on the ground, stretched her arms, and shouted at her sons Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang who were standing opposite. : "Son, save me! Save me..."
