Lu's relatives

Chapter 339
Qin Xu and Guo Jia probably wouldn't have imagined that they were only responding to Dong Cheng's personal grievances against Qin, but they planned to make the situation even more confusing and "straighten" the spearhead to Kong Rong who had already escaped. And Cao Cao's strategy, which seems to be at odds with Zhang Kai and Yu Fang, has such an unexpected harvest.

And because Qin Xu was attacked before the emperor was about to greet him with a demotion ceremony, Dong Cheng's words contained words, making the courtiers seem to have finally found a breakthrough to vent their emotions, and they were clearly condemning Qin Xu's actions. Dereliction of duty, scolding the thief's boldness, but the actual intentions, even a fool can see it.

Seeing Cao Cao's frown, Dong Cheng's sneer grew stronger.In contrast, the so-called stealing of the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom, which was just a nonsense of Yuan Shu's counselors, of course, Dong Cheng was more inclined to take advantage of the opportunity to suppress Cao Cao's power that appeared from the appearance of gods and Buddhas. Let's make a fuss and see if we can use this matter to take back the right to speak from Cao Cao like in Chang'an, even if it is only a part of the court.

"It is the opinion of all the court officials that the attack on the people from Qingzhou is all because of Cao's fault?" Cao Cao said coldly, narrowing his eyes.

Cao Cao is such a character, as soon as Dong Cheng's words came out, Cao Cao saw through Dong Cheng's intentions, not to mention that the courtiers headed by Dong Cheng are almost pointing their noses and scolding him.Originally, Cao Cao still wanted to keep a respectful distance from these so-called "important ministers of the country".After all, Cao Cao just wanted to be the Duke of Zhou, not Wang Mang. These people were not harmful to the overall situation, so Cao Cao didn't bother to pay attention to them.Unexpectedly, he, Mr. Cao, would not provoke this group of people, but he couldn't help this group of important officials in the court who were panicked like bereaved dogs in Chang'an, but they were really infected with the habit of dogs, whoever catches and bites whomever!
"This..." Seeing Cao Cao's cold stare, the courtiers who had been filled with righteous indignation just now bowed their heads and lost their voices.It's okay for these people to wave their flags and shout for the gods to fight, but if they really want to face each other face to face, to be honest, these important ministers who have survived under the pressure of Xiliang soldiers really don't have the guts to do so.A few bold ones just raised their heads slightly and looked at Dong Cheng from the corner of their eyes as if asking for help, but they did not dare to make a sound, lest it would be unlucky for Cao Cao to target the whole family.

"Wu Pinghou has such a great official authority in front of the emperor!" Dong Cheng sneered a little, but he said every sentence: "The princes are just talking about the matter, and the emperor doesn't say anything. Could it be that Marquis Wuping thinks that he is better than the emperor?" Is it more honorable?"

Minister of power!Minister of power!In front of the emperor, scolding the important ministers of the country, Cao Cao is not a powerful minister, who is he?At this moment, Dong Cheng didn't even address Cao Cao's official position, but directly called him title with a livid face.In fact, this is also Dong Cheng's cleverness.In terms of official position, Cao Cao is the general of Xiaoqi, and Yanzhou Mu is more than three ranks higher than Dong Cheng's general of chariots, and he is a real power faction. According to the customary rules among the officials of the Han Dynasty, Dong Cheng reprimanded Cao Cao with this status. Can be labeled as the following offender.But the titles are different, unless Cao Cao wants to learn Yuan Shu's breakfast, otherwise the two are both Marquis, and Dong Cheng also has the status of uncle, but at most it can only be regarded as a dispute between colleagues.

"Huh! Haha! Dong Cheqi is right. It is indeed Cao's fault for disturbing His Majesty with this matter!" Cao Cao stared at Dong Cheng for a long time, the coldness in his eyes could kill someone, and Dong Cheng endured it. When he couldn't help making trouble again, Cao Cao approached him with a vicious look before, as if he had humbly listened to Dong Cheng's correction, he generously took all the responsibilities, and even gave Dong Cheng a hearty smile. Liu Xie, who rushed to the side without interjecting, made it impossible to guess what he was thinking, bowed and saluted, and said: "Your Majesty, the governor of Xuzhou, Marquis of Wuting, Qin, was assassinated outside Xuchang City this time, and my minister Cao Cao did not do enough to clean up the thieves." It's just that according to reports from the subordinates of the minister who was traveling with Qin, the culprits here are all cavalry, equipped with armor, and they are quite organized in offense and defense. The thieves also took the lead. I would like to ask, where can the thieves have such riding skills? Such equipment? Such combat power?"

"Marquis Wu Ping means that this thief may be the result of our regular army in disguise?" Dong Cheng heard Cao Cao's words, and a bit of unconcealable ecstasy flashed in his eyes.regular army?The so-called regular army near Xuchang can haunt Xuchang without anyone noticing, and can have an organized cavalry, besides your old Cao, where is there a second one?You, Cao Cao, have always been intolerant of others, so if you say these words yourself this time, isn't it just shooting yourself in the foot?

"That's right! Cao has seen the elite soldiers and horses in Qingzhou before! How could it be that ordinary troops can easily break through its defenses? Even in the case of a surprise attack." Cao Cao did not deny that he had once fought against Qingzhou and was severely beaten. At this moment, it seemed as if he was talking about other family affairs, without any psychological pressure at all.

"Ha, Marquis Wuping's words are really ridiculous! At this moment, you can still discuss the issue of the combat power of your soldiers with Lu Bu's two families without blushing or panting! Do you think that what you do is seamless and no one knows?" Dong Cheng's excited hands were trembling involuntarily.From Dong Cheng's point of view, it doesn't really matter that the felon was robbed and that Qin Xu was seriously injured. Moreover, Yuan Shu is not dead. The rumors are just the words of a counselor who is greedy for life and afraid of death under his command to save his life. Credibility is really low.The matter has developed to the present stage, but it has greatly exceeded Dong Cheng's expectations.Others didn't know about it, but Dong Cheng got some other news by chance.

Dong Cheng has a military position. Although Xuchang is currently controlled by Cao Cao, Dong Cheng can still be a counselor for some military aircraft on the surface. This is also Cao Cao's generosity.But Dong Cheng didn't accept Cao Cao's affection.Out of guard against Cao Cao, the investigation of some news is really sensitive.Some time ago, Dong Cheng accidentally got the news that there was a movement of soldiers and horses in Yanzhou to Linzi.Originally, Dong Cheng didn't think so. After all, although Qingyan and Yanzhou have several allies, and the emperor is in Xuchang, they can't fight easily, but it is necessary for the two troops to guard against each other. Although such a matter of mobilizing troops and horses It was very strange, but Dong Cheng didn't take it seriously at the time, he only thought that the soldiers who didn't receive the armor might be Cao Cao's deliberate arrangements.But now it seems that the two people described by the person who unintentionally revealed the news to him at that time were the same as Zhang Kai and Yu Fang, the so-called leaders of the rebel army who were arrested outside Linzi City, Qingzhou. Is it so suitable?

In fact, whether the news is really what Dong Cheng "guessed" is not important to Dong Cheng.But the self-binding words that Cao Cao said just now gave Dong Cheng great confidence.Dong Cheng, who had never seen Cao Cao's fangs before, naturally regarded Cao Cao as the two thieves Dong Zhuo and Li Guo out of habit.

When Dong Zhuo was in chaos, Dong Cheng was there, but Dong Zhuo was Dong Cheng's relatives. These days, relatives are more reliable than anyone else. They are all prosperous and all are damaged, so Dong Chenghun drove away; Li Jue, Guo Si and other Xiliang soldiers occupied Chang'an At that time, Dong Cheng was also there, but these were originally Dong Zhuo's old subordinates. Although Dong Zhuo was dead, after all, the relationship was still there, and Dong Cheng needed to reconcile the relationship with the court and the emperor, so Dong Cheng was not too difficult.Therefore, Dong Cheng, who has experienced many ups and downs, is now showing the appearance of a loyal minister of a big man everywhere, and in front of Cao Cao, who just took the initiative to thank and plead guilty, his self-confidence really swelled unprecedentedly.

"What did Cao do? Haha, Cao has done a lot of things, but I don't know which one Dong Cheqi is talking about? I hope you can teach me!" Cao Cao's face became more and more smiling. It's like making a joke with a friend, but if Cao Cao reads it, he might be cold-hearted, and his lord is going to kill someone.

"I know what I do!" To be honest, Dong Cheng was not sure about the authenticity of the news, and he just wanted to "point" Cao Cao with these words.The meaning of Dong Cheng's words is very clear. He just wanted to tell Cao Cao that I already knew about your stupidity. If you are sensible, give up quickly, otherwise it will not be easy to get along with in the future.

"Hmph! Why is there no reason to blame him? Since Dong Cheqi has said this, there is something I want to ask!" Dong Cheng has been calling Cao Cao's title, but Cao Cao insisted on calling Dong Cheng's official position, and he recognized Dong Cheng's position. The malicious intentions in the words, and the words that seemed to want to be with him forever.Cao Cao looked around and saw that almost all the important officials of the Han court were in front of him. He sighed coldly in his heart that Dong Cheng really wanted to kill himself, and the smile on his face became stronger. He asked Dong Cheng, "A certain Guan Dong Cheqi seems to know about this What is the history of the bandit cavalry?"

"Hmph! Cao Mengde, don't you think that the eyes of the princes present here and my son Sheng Ming are three-year-old children?" Dong Cheng only thought that Cao Cao had realized that he had said something wrong just now. "Looking for money" who has no land, a sneer appeared on his face at the moment, and he said: "Don't say it's Dong, everyone has seen through the wolfish ambitions of some people!"

"It's so good!" Cao Cao looked at the noncommittal emperor and a group of important officials of the Han court headed by Dong Cheng, and said slowly: "Speaking of which, Cao is actually the one who suffers, and his eldest son Ang also suffered this time. The thief attacked. Since Dong Cheqi knows the whereabouts of the thief, please tell me in detail, so I can make arrangements in advance to ask Qin Xu and Qin Zhongming, who were assassinated this time, Xuzhou Governor, Wu Tinghou, Zhengdong General, and Special Jin Weiwei A justice!"

"Huh? This... Actually..." Seeing Cao Cao's aggressive appearance, Dong Cheng was also secretly surprised. Before, he always felt that there seemed to be some omissions, but Cao Cao's words seemed to reveal that he was following his footsteps. Disturbed by the ecstasy brought about by the words, he didn't think about it. Only now did he remember that Cao Cao's eldest son was also in the team that came to Xuchang from Qingzhou to offer prisoners?A tiger's poison does not eat its offspring, let alone the eldest son. Cao's rhetoric on this point alone is enough to be invincible!
"Actually, Dong Cheqi doesn't know where these people come from, does he?" Cao Cao had a strange smile on his face, and he waved his arms behind a group of important officials of the Han court, and immediately a soldier of Cao Jun handed over the package in his hand. Coming over, the corners of Cao Cao's mouth curled up slightly, and he slowly opened it in front of everyone, took the contents inside and said in front of everyone: "This is the evidence that my son Cao Ang ordered someone to send it back quickly. This is my son who 'personally' escaped. It was torn off from the body of a bandit cavalryman, do you have any impressions?"

"Hiss... this... the texture of this cloth is so special, where do you think you've seen it before?"

"How could it be... How could it be them?"

"This... This is the cavalry badge of the Xiliang Army! This old man can recognize it even if it is turned into ashes!"

As soon as the contents of the package appeared, the voices of surprise, exclamation, and exclamation immediately filled the more than a hundred civil and military officials of the imperial court.

Can you not recognize it?The "pillars" of the big Han court here are full of plans, but they have stayed for nearly five years under the coercion of the person who owns this waist card and clothes fragments!
"Dong Cheqi! Master Dong! Uncle Dong Guo! Don't you know the origin of this group of thieves who dared to attack our high-ranking Han officials outside Xuchang City? Don't you know why they broke through a certain heavily guarded army? ? Come on, tell everyone!" Cao Cao's voice was full of icy chill.

"I..." Dong Cheng, who was originally from the Xiliang Army and had a good relationship with the general of the Xiliang Army even after the defeat of Xiliang Army Chang'an, found that he seemed to have fallen into a trap for no reason.

Dong Cheng was confused by the sudden appearance of the object, and didn't know what to say for a while, but the eyes of all the important court officials headed by him just now have changed a little...
