Lu's relatives

Chapter 555
How can Ju Shou's tactics be hidden from Cao Cao.It's just that Cao Cao really has nothing to do with this bright conspiracy.

The direct "victim" of the emperor's death was his Lao Cao.Without the banner of righteousness, Cao Cao is at best a relatively powerful prince.Even though his comprehensive strength is superior, and he is faintly the leader of the pack, how is it compared to Dong Zhuo back then? 20 iron cavalry from Xiliang ruled the world, Wen You had Jia Xu, Li Ru and other intelligent people planning the world, Wu You had Lv Bu Zhang Liao and other tigers and fierce generals as minions. In the end, it was not because of the loss of righteousness that they ended up abandoning corpses and making trouble. ?Therefore, even if Cao Cao had an insight into Jushou's intentions from the beginning, it would not help at all.

For Cao Cao, the most important thing now is to catch Yuan Shang and Ju Shou who assassinated the king as soon as possible.At least first try to get rid of the suspicion of "self-stealing".The second is to pay close attention to preparing armaments just in case.

The emperor died inexplicably in the palace city surrounded by Cao Jun, which is difficult to explain in itself.Cao Cao must always be prepared to face the worst situation in which the world will fight together and the heroes will discuss it together.Although with Cao Cao's current strength, if he really has the strength to fight against the heroes of the world like Dong Zhuo, but in this way, let alone cause a permanent stain on the reputation of the army, and make the hearts of the subordinates scattered, say no When good times create heroes, it is inevitable that some "destined" people will descend out of thin air.After all, he, Cao Cao, earned enough prestige when the eighteen princes crusaded against Dong Zhuo, and only then did he get to where he is today.If this is "copied" by someone, then Cao Cao will really scold his mother.

Therefore, even Cao Cao guessed Jushou's purpose at the first time.But he can only hope to catch the two Yuan Shangjushou who must be trapped in the iron wall of Xuchang City, make a gesture as a buffer, and then slowly plan.

"What are you waiting for? Go and get the white clothes!" Cao Cao turned around twice impatiently, and after glancing at him to report that the servants of the Xun family uncle and nephew and the general of his own army were still waiting at the door, he ordered impatiently.The meaning of the words is self-evident, after all, it is better for the old man to use it, and the servant killed it earlier.

"No...no!" The servant hurried away, as a person close to Cao Cao, it was actually a high-risk occupation.Too smart or too stupid, you will inevitably get a knife in the end.

The second hall of Xiaoqi Grand General's Mansion itself is an important place for Cao Cao to discuss military plans with his confidants.It's just that the atmosphere at the moment is really weird.Xun You and Xun Yu stood in the hall with different expressions, looking at the three generals of the army kneeling side by side on the open space outside the door, all of them pursed their lips tightly and said nothing.The Xun family is a die-hard "royalist". Although they do not reject princes with a kingly heart, they still have a clear stand when it comes to the survival of the Han Dynasty and the safety of the emperor.

This is exactly what Cao Cao was most worried about. Xun You was Cao Jun's strategist.And Xun Yu is even worse, the chief steward of the army, from Cao Cao's point of view, if in the early Han Dynasty, Xun You had Zhang Liang's wisdom, then Xun Yu had Xiao He's ability.These two basically represent the power of the civil servants in the army, and the Xun family is a big family in Yingchuan, and their prestige is unmatched for a while. In the age when the big Han is the most important, it is also very influential on the major families.Even Cao Cao didn't dare to put on airs too much in front of the two of them, but called them friends.Now the two came here in a hurry, without Liu Xiang Xun Ling's elegance and honesty, which shows how bad the impact of this incident has been before it spread to Xuchang.

"My lord, you are..." The five civil and military men waited in Cao Cao's Xiaoqi General's mansion for less than a stick of incense, when they saw Cao Cao, who was dressed in white, wrapped in white silk, and had red eyes, staggering slightly. With the support of the servants in the mansion, he came slowly.After all, Cao Cao is the leader of an army. Even though the uncles and nephews of the Xun family came here, because they were concerned about the emperor's affairs, they were quite critical and hesitant about Cao Cao's sending troops into the palace in the middle of the night. Waiting to see Cao Cao's behavior at this moment At that time, he was also shocked.Even if the uncles and nephews of the Xun family are like this, Cao Xiu, Cao Chun, and Xu Huang, who cannot be blamed for this incident, are inseparable from this incident. In this severe winter, their arms are bare, their faces are frozen. Still aggrieved livid.But after seeing Cao Cao's posture, Cao Chun, who was the most tempered, suddenly punched the ground with his fist, blood gradually oozing from his finger bones.

"Unfortunately, the son of heaven, he was wandering in his childhood, and rarely encountered great difficulties. Now it is so easy to see the image of peace in the world. It is the son of heaven who strives hard. We wait for the Han officials to fight for the first, and serve the emperor to defeat the ministers, cleanse the universe, and rejuvenate the great man! Being murdered by a treacherous villain, this is all a crime!" Cao Cao entered the second hall by himself, and before he came close, he was already weeping, with red eyes and messy hair, it was really impressive Poor, sad to hear.

"My lord! The death penalty for the last general! The benevolence of the thought made the two thieves escape! See you again, the lord, without a face." Let's not comment on the superb acting skills of Lao Cao's seven-point acting and three-point sincerity. Seeing the image of Cao Cao, The uncles and nephews of the Xun family also took the initiative, not to mention Cao Xiu, Cao Chun, and Xu Huang who were pleading guilty.Not to mention Cao Xiu and Cao Chun, the two generals of the Cao clan themselves, even Xu Huang, who had an "incestuous relationship" with Qin, the number two figure in Lv Bujun, couldn't help but be moved by Cao Cao's "truthful expression" .After all, Cao Xiu and Cao Chun were ordered to lead troops into the palace in the middle of the night, which was the cause of this cataclysmic event, but it was Xu Huang who finally let Ju Shou and Yuan Shang go.Even if it was an unintentional mistake, it still caused the two villains who killed the king to escape. Now, in less than an hour or two, rumors have spread in Xuchang City, and people are panicking, making Cao Cao a big black pot. From the looks of it, it was all his fault.Xu Huang is a tough guy. Since he had already accepted Cao Cao's favor, he had no intention of being tempted by the solicitation of his old acquaintance Qin Xu, which shows his firm will.Now that such a catastrophe has occurred, even if Xu Huangdang got up quickly, he took out the sharp knife from the waist of the guard in front of the second hall gate, and wanted to commit suicide and apologize.

"Gong Ming can't do it!" Cao Cao's eyes flashed with satisfaction, but his face showed a grieving expression of deep reluctance.At the beginning when Xu Huang seized the blade, he pushed away the servant who was supporting him, rushed to Xu Huang in three steps and two steps in parallel, and grabbed Xu Huang's arm.Yu even sincerely stopped.

Cao Cao moved quickly, but still left a scar on his neck with the guard's sword.Cao Xiu and Cao Chun, who reacted from the side, also hurried up to help.Speaking of which, this matter really has nothing to do with Xu Huang.Xu Huang is upright and straightforward, and ranks among the top five in Cao Cao's army, but he is known for his low-key and generosity, so he is very popular among Cao Cao's generals.And at this time, Xu Huang was also affected by Chi Yu. Who would have expected that Cao Xiu and Cao Chun, who led nearly [-] elite fighters, would have failed to protect the emperor in a daze, and let Ju Shou and Yuan Shang, the old and the young, who were not very powerful in combat? , After successfully assassinating the emperor, he went out of Miyagi smoothly.If Xu Huang let these two people go because he didn't know, if he wanted to commit suicide and apologize, then Cao Xiu and Cao Chun would probably be cut to pieces.

"Gongming let it go! If you say it like this, the cause of this matter all started when Cao was upset that the emperor listened to the villain's slander and wanted to clear the emperor's side. Who would have thought that something went wrong, and the thief would detect it and act in advance! This is all Cao It’s a crime of negligence, so even if it’s self-inflicted apology, it should be Cao!” Maybe Cao Cao still cared about his status as a courtier even though he was almost torn apart with the emperor’s courtiers.Taking advantage of Xu Huang's incident to bring out some emotions, the words he said not only stunned Xu Huang and Cao Xiu Cao Chun, but also the Xun's uncle and nephew who had been watching coldly from the sidelines uncharacteristically, couldn't help but look at each other, slightly moved.

"My lord, the three generals, it doesn't matter who should be held accountable now." Compared to Xun Yu, who was round on the outside and square on the inside, Xun You paid much less attention to the emperor supported by Dong Zhuo.Therefore, the crowd was the calmest. Seeing that the emotions of the people in the field were a little out of control at the moment, and even Cao Cao lost his composure because Xu Huang's actions aroused his inner thoughts, Xun You poured a basin of water in time.

"Huh?!" Xun You's words really had an effect.At least Cao Xiu took advantage of Xu Huang's stunned effort to snatch the long sword from Xu Huang's hand.Cao Cao's mood also stabilized, and Xun You continued: "Yuan Shang and Jushou, the two thieves, harmed the emperor, which is a crime that cannot be punished! But because the emperor listened to the villain's slander before, our army lacked the necessary calmness, so that now we are defeated by that The two villains framed the frame, and it was hard to explain why, so they fell into a passive state. Originally, this matter was still not covered by paper. Although our army was worried for a while, as long as the lord chooses one person from the close relatives of the Han clan, he will make a decision. With the posture of fully assisting, and then making the necessary "posture" to win the hearts of the courtiers, after the two thieves are caught, the truth will naturally come to light. But..."

Xun You glanced at Cao Xiu and Cao Chun, shook his head and said, "But you heard that the two generals sent troops to Cheng'en Palace and Fanghua Garden. This is a big problem."

"Mr. Gongda, we have fallen into the scheme of the emperor...I..." Cao Chun has the strongest temper. Even when he opened his mouth to explain, Cao Xiu grabbed him and shook his head.

"Zihe Shenyan, you will settle the score with you sooner or later for the crime of disturbing the emperor. Now that Gongda has said something, there must be something going on there?" Cao Cao has recovered his usual calm face at this moment, and scolded Cao Chun, who didn't choose what to say, frowned and asked Xun You.

"Concubine Dong Gui is Uncle Dong's biological daughter!" Xun You smiled wryly, and said, "In the palace city, there is no taboo for the army to come and go, not to mention disturbing the spiritual seat of the former emperor of the Han Dynasty, and even breaking into the empress' dormitory. One, is enough to make all the officials in the court full of righteous indignation. Although I don't know if the two thieves Yuan Shang and Ju Shou know about this, but this matter will really bring great trouble to the lord! Please make arrangements as soon as possible. what!"

"What can Gongda teach me?!" Xun You's words made Cao Cao's words a little flustered.
