Lu's relatives

Chapter 561

Whether it is still a bit of nostalgia for the identity of the Hanchen, because of the death of the emperor, he was a little confused, or he destroyed the strategy of serving the emperor to order him not to be a minister, thus causing the army to lose the banner of righteousness, It makes people feel a little bit at a loss for a while.In short, no matter what, Cao Cao regretted meeting Jushou in such a hurry.

For a Ju Shou who had the will to die and wanted to make Cao Cao unhappy, the slanderous words before his death caused a lethality that even Cao Cao didn't dare to think about.Too insidious, too shameless!However, what Jushou said was really outrageous, and Cao Cao couldn't explain and refute it.

Aggrieved!This scapegoat looks like it is going to be decided.Although Xuchang was immediately put under martial law by Cao Jun, who knows how many pairs of prying eyes are watching Cao Cao's every move in the shops and houses facing the street.That is to say, the four gates are now blocked by Cao Cao. Otherwise, Cao Cao could almost imagine that there would be various conjectures of embellished versions of Ju Shou's vicious plan to beat him up before his death, and spread all over the big man in an instant.It is not what Cao Cao wants to let Cao Cao turn from a hero who protects the sky to a thief who is scolded by the world in an instant.

"Search for me! Even if you dig three feet into the ground, you have to dig out that thief Yuan Shang!" Cao Cao was really angry.The current situation is completely out of Cao Cao's control and has become uncontrollable.Even a hero like Cao Cao, the overlord who controls the five states, has little interest in becoming a public enemy of the world.Right now, only Yuan Shang, who is said to have "suddenly disappeared", can give Cao Cao the "opportunity" to clear his suspicion. People, believe that continuing to rely on your own lord Cao Cao is not a traitor!Cao Cao had experienced the battle against Dong Zhuo at the beginning, and he knew the cause of Dong Zhuo's final death very well. He, Cao Cao, didn't want to repeat Dong Zhuo's mistakes and cause trouble within Xiaoqiang.

"Promise!" Feeling Cao Cao's anger, the soldiers of the Cao army under his command, including Cao Chunnei, dared not breathe lightly, for fear of being angered by Cao Cao.

"My lord, I've found it! I've found it! I'm looking for..." The atmosphere on East Xuchang Street was strange. Xu Fei, the city gate guard who ran out of the Mi's firm, had a look of surprise on his face, but he was also stunned. Knowing that Cao Cao, the lord of the family who was talking and laughing with Xu Huang just now, can only have a cup of tea, his eyes are so violent.

"Talk! Where is the person?" Cao Cao, who could almost predict that it would be difficult to be clean from now on, was tense by these sudden incidents, but he could no longer suppress his emotions, and took a deep breath. asked coldly.

"My lord, in the dry well in the backyard of the room, I found a secret passage with footprints. General Xu has personally led people to chase after it, and I will come to announce the good news to my lord!" Xu Fei said eagerly.Xu Fei saw Cao Cao's gentle attitude towards Xu Huang just now, and thought that no matter what happened, even if he couldn't get Cao Cao's praise this time, at least he could get a good word.Unexpectedly, Cao Cao spoke so sarcasticly as if he didn't want to see him at all.Xu Fei is a smart man, seeing Jushou's corpse on the ground, and the soldiers of Cao Jun as if facing a big enemy, he also knew that this was not the time to ask for credit, so he didn't plan to be more careful in his words as he was when he received Xu Huang's order. Highlight your own merits and speak truthfully.

"Dry well? Secret way? Ha!" The light in Cao Cao's eyes became colder and colder, but the corners of his mouth curled up more and more, revealing an evil intention.His face was also turning green and red.People who are familiar with Cao Cao know that this is his master who is so angry that he is going to kill someone!Sure enough, after hearing Xu Fei's report, Cao Cao pressed his hand firmly on the saber, his knuckles turned white, snorted coldly, and said angrily: "Cao Chun! No chaos, since there is an act of killing the king this time, it must not be just these two, the old and the young, there must be some comrades still in the city, you take my seal, lead the troops of the headquarters and other ministries to claim Xuchang, Be sure to track down the Yuan clan's accomplices who intend to send Cao Mengde to the world's public enemy. Check carefully! Anyone who dares to resist, kill! The rest, follow someone to help Gongming."

"No!" Cao Chun understood Cao Cao's words.Where is the hunt for Yuan's accomplices, it is clear that they need to use the knife in their hands and other people's blood to stop them, at least delay the time for other forces to react, and leave room for their own forces to react.Moreover, the meaning of Cao Cao's words is clear. It doesn't matter whether the various forces in Xuchang are spying or spying. It's okay to cooperate obediently. He would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go.

"My lord! Don't move lightly!" Cao Chun took the order to leave, because the uncle and nephew of the Xun family who rushed over, Xu Chu, the new captain of the personal guard, and Cheng Yu, who had rushed back from Puyang, were alarmed by the loud noise just now. Seeing that Cao Cao wanted to take someone down the well to chase Yuan Shang in person, they stopped him loudly.

"My lord, the son of a thousand gold can't sit down, and you must not take the risk lightly!" Cao Cao met by chance when he was suppressing the remnants of the Yellow Turbans around Xu County after welcoming the emperor. At that time, Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren and other Cao army veterans Because Xu Chu, who misunderstood that Xu Chu, who built a stronghold to protect himself, was also a bandit, there was a dispute.What surprised Cao Cao was that under Xu Chu's sledgehammer, the two men failed to catch even ten moves, and they were defeated. The fierce general, Dian Wei, who had made Cao Cao envious for a long time, was indiscriminate, so he persuaded him with good words. He gave a small reward every three days and a big reward every five days. The confidant, usually stays around even for a moment, as a hidden hole card against Lu Bu.Cao Cao took the first step today only because there was too much commotion in Mi's house. Xu Chu saw that Cao Cao was going to be in danger, so of course he disagreed.

"My lord, the emperor has passed away, and he has not yet been coffined. People in Xuchang are fluctuating. My lord, don't sacrifice the basics for the last, the most important thing is to appease the army!" It was Xun Yu who spoke.After some consideration, the attitude of the uncle and nephew Xun's hesitation has become much firmer than before. At least Xun Yu has begun to resume his role as the chief steward of Cao Jun.

"It's really abominable to beat up a thief at the end of his life..." Perhaps Xun Yu, who has become more and more silent since Cao Cao's attitude towards Liu Xie gradually changed, soothed Cao Cao's uncontrollable emotions and finally recovered. A little bit of the old mind, but still said angrily.

"My lord, if this thief of Ju Shou dies, it is impossible to stop the people in the world. But if it is time for the lord to win the whole army, it will be Yi Er!" The success rate of the strategy is always not high, so Cao Cao sent him to Puyang, which is located at the junction of Qingyan and Hebei, to assist Xiahouyuan.It's just that although the governor of Bingzhou is Yuan Tan in name, it is actually under the control of Cao Cao, and Jizhou is even more unable to protect itself. Except for the current "ally" Lu Bu, there is no war, so he was recalled by Cao Cao.Unexpectedly, just after arriving, he encountered such a big event.Before he figured out the relationship between this matter and Cao Cao, Cheng Yu didn't move lightly. After all, it was Cao Cao who ordered the army to enter the palace late at night, and then the news of the emperor's death came out, but the so-called assassin was a Ju Shou, a literati who conspired to move Hebei, and Yuan Shang, who was only a yellow-mouthed child, put aside their camp prejudices. I am afraid that their first reaction was that Cao Cao killed the king and blamed others.It wasn't until he witnessed Jushou's madness before he died, and heard Xun Yu's words, that Cheng Yu said sinisterly.

"Huh?!" In fact, when Xun Yu came out, Cao Cao's anger had subsided a lot, and now he heard what Cheng Yu said, but it aroused Cao Cao's interest, and he squinted his eyes and asked, "Why? Does Zhongde have a clever plan to help Cao?"

"My lord is just a fan of the authorities!" Cheng Yu secretly praised Cao Cao, but his tone was extremely cold and full of murderous intent, and he said, "Long-term lockup of Xuchang is actually not the best policy. Paper can't wrap fire. Longer time, people with a heart You will definitely guess something. If the lord does not want the news to spread out of control, you only need to completely control the mouthpieces of the princes, as well as the refugees and merchants who may go to various places, and it is enough to buy two to three months. During this period, the lord, on the one hand, according to the public plan, accumulates troops, food and grass, and coordinates the headquarters; on the other hand, he wins over allies. Except for the few clan relatives of the Han Dynasty, the people who mobilize the army are nothing to worry about compared to the lord. It is only necessary to keep these few families stable for a while. Back then, the eighteen princes were not of one mind. Let's plan cleverly, these people with their own minds, except for Na Lu Bu who is difficult to deal with, the rest are just mediocre people."

"Cheng Yu, are you going to slaughter all the people of Xuchang?!" Before Cao Cao could speak up, Cheng Yu, who was listening to Cao Cao with enthusiasm, finished speaking, and Xun Yu, who was still planning for Cao Cao just now, had red eyes.Just now, Cao Cao was just a spy against the known forces in Xuchang, but Cheng Yu's purpose was to include those ordinary businessmen and merchants.Cheng Yu is a counselor, and he may think that he is just a group of merchants, but Xun Yu, who is the chief steward of Cao Jun, knows that Qingzhou's rise is so fast, on the one hand, it is because of Lv Bu's army's powerful combat power, and the resourcefulness of its resourceful men. In fact, it is the seventh rich merchant of the Mi family, and the relatively relaxed business environment due to the lack of strength of the gentry. Even Xun Yu, who has always insisted that farming and mulberry is the foundation of the country, has to admit that this is true. It is the fastest way to gain tyrannical strength in a short period of time.But now, Cheng Yu's implication is that even the merchants must be "controlled". In his hands, I am afraid that Cao Cao will really become the enemy of the world.At that time, it would be a trivial matter to send troops to conquer, and there would be no merchants in Cao Jun's sphere of influence. Xun Yu couldn't dare to think about what kind of tragedy the five states under Cao Cao's rule would turn into.

"Well! If Gongda and Tongwen go back, just as we discussed before, you take a charter, select a son from the royal family, call the officials to discuss and establish him as the crown prince, and after the emperor's grand ceremony is completed, he will succeed the emperor. At the same time, think of a way to stabilize Lu Bu first. I heard that Qin Xu has won two daughters in a row recently, so ask Ang Er to bring some gold and silk to see if it can be an opportunity." Of course, Cao Cao understood Cheng Yu's plan. Only what Xun Yu said about the disadvantages of the country is the words of seeking the country.But now, Cao Cao did not wake up immediately as Xun Yu expected, and abandoning this practice is almost tantamount to digging his own grave.On the contrary, with a perfunctory look that would consider, he ordered Xun You a few words, and then made Xun You leave with Xun Yu who still had something to say.

"My lord! Then I'll wait..." Seeing that Cao Cao drove away the Xun family's nephew and uncle, Cheng Yu was overjoyed, and was about to speak, but unexpectedly saw the flash of light in Cao Cao's eyes looking at him, Cheng Yu Suddenly startled in my heart, I immediately shut up.

"Hmph! Zhongde, let's make arrangements. Don't...forget it..." Cao Cao looked at Cheng Yu, who was rumored to be a cannibal, with a complicated expression, making it difficult to tell whether he was happy or angry, and waited for Cheng Yu to hurry After leaving, he looked at Xuchang, the accompanying capital that was empty, stroked the blade in his hand, with a complicated expression on his face, and murmured the words that have been debated by later generations for more than a thousand years: "Ning teach me to defeat the people of the world, don't cry!" The people of the world will bear me! Heh!"
