Three Kingdoms, at the beginning of the game, recognize the thief as the father, hit the spectacle,

Yes, he knew that Dong Zhuo was an unfaithful minister, but he kept letting him go like this... Is this still the self he used to be?

Cao Cao even felt disdainful for his previous deliberate neglect.

And Dong Zhuo and him today are just like Zhang Rang and him more than ten years ago. The gap between the two cannot be smoothed out by conventional means.

Facing such an unprecedentedly powerful enemy as Dong Zhuo, there is obviously only one way to compete with him on the same level as him, and that is to resume his old business and personally go to Dong Zhuo's side to assassinate him.

If he succeeds, then he, Cao Cao, will naturally be a model for the world, and he will continue the country and blood for the Han royal family.

And if it fails...

At worst, escape from Luoyang and raise troops to resist?

Cao Cao had already figured it out. If even he couldn't cure Dong Zhuo at this moment, then the authority of the Eastern Han royal family would be nothing more than a blank slate. What's the point?

It would be better for him to personally raise troops and call on all places to attack Dong Zhuo.

In this case, even if the Han Dynasty declines due to this in the future, only his Liu family will decline.

From the point of view of the whole country and the common people, this is better than letting Dong Zhuo continue to torment like this.

……

In the same position, Cao Cao is confident that he will do better than Dong Zhuo.

……

As for assassination... there is always a risk.

Cao Cao is also very aware of this.

It is precisely because of this that, on Lai Yinger's side, he is half playing handsome, half telling the other party seriously, if he is gone and never returns, then remember to help him restrain his clothes and build a grave.

Otherwise, with Dong Zhuo's temperament, I'm afraid I won't even have a chance left in the future...

……

Back home, Wang Yun and the others had been waiting in the house for a long time.

This time, Cao Cao kept an eye out.

Except for people like Wang Yun who really had a grudge against Dong Zhuo, he didn't call anyone like Yang Biao who had no idea about Dong Zhuo.

Afterwards, Cao Cao discussed with everyone his idea of ​​going to Dong Zhuo's residence to assassinate him.

As soon as these words came out, it naturally shocked the group of Ziwen officials.

……

Assassinate Dong Zhuo in the palace by himself...

How could this have any chance of success?

You know, Dong Zhuo was under the protection of the five thousand imperial palace guards day and night, as well as the more than 2 west garden guards, and his godson Lu Bu.

With these people protecting Dong Zhuo day and night, Cao Cao's move would never have the slightest chance of success!

……

It's just that Wang Yun didn't attack Cao Cao's thoughts all-in-one, but discussed countermeasures with a group of friends around him.

After they discussed for a long time, they managed to find a way for Cao Cao to bypass the defenders outside the palace and meet Dong Zhuo alone.

As for this method, it is not easy to say it is simple, and it is not difficult to say it is difficult...

As we all know, Dong Zhuo is a martial artist.Anyone born as a martial artist does not like treasures, horses, and military equipment.

If you want to get close to Dong Zhuo, you have to start with the other party's preferences.

……

Chapter 4 I can do it

It was rumored that Dong Zhuo had a granddaughter Dong Bai, who was clever, playful and endearing, so after Dong Zhuo lived in the palace, she was taken to live in Luoyang.

Dong Bai is a bit different from ordinary women. At the age when other girls embroidered in the boudoir and studied poetry and singing, she liked to dance swords and fight in formation. She had the same demeanor as Dong Zhuo when he was young. favorite.

Now, this girl Dong Bai is also thirteen or fourteen years old.A few days ago, Dong Zhuo named her Lord Weiyang to celebrate her birthday.

It was just because there was no suitable gift, so it was rumored that Dong Bai had a lot of temper tantrums with Dong Zhuo.

This matter was not too big or small, but as Situ, Wang Yun can be said to be the most well-informed person in the entire Eastern Han Dynasty.

Wang Yun still knew something about Dong Bai.

……

According to the rumors in the market, if Dong Bai really likes to wield knives and swords, then it would be most appropriate to add military equipment as a gift.

Coincidentally, Situ Wangyun's family once had a treasured sword presented by an old friend a few years ago. The sword was about two feet seven inches long. The body of the sword was dotted with a lot of emeralds, jade and other decorations, which looked far more gorgeous than ordinary weapons.

Since the whole knife is inlaid with seven different kinds of jade from the handle to the tip, it is also called "Seven Treasures Knife", or "Seven Stars Treasure Knife".

It is impossible for Dong Bai not to like such gorgeous military equipment.This is the opportunity he found for Cao Cao to get close to Dong Zhuo after trying all means.

……

In order to support Cao Cao's actions, Wang Yun reluctantly took out the precious Seven-Star Sword from his home and handed it to Cao Cao.

As long as this saber is used as an excuse to offer a saber to Dong Zhuo in name, I am afraid that even the imperial guards guarding the palace gate will not be suspicious of Cao Cao.

After Cao Cao saw Dong Zhuo, whether he could successfully assassinate him or not would depend on who was stronger in his or Dong Zhuo's skills.

……

"Meng De, please remember that although this knife is expensive, it is not a priceless treasure. And Meng De, you have a pure heart, which we all see, but it is priceless."

"Going this time, please take your own safety as the most important thing. If you feel that there is nothing you can do, then abandon the knife and leave Dong Zhuo's residence, and think of a way in the future. Don't hesitate."

"Now we, the old ministers, are powerless to resist Dong Zhuo in court. If we lose you again, I am afraid that this big man will not be far away in name only!"

Before leaving, Wang Yun held the long knife in Cao Cao's hand with one hand and the opponent's sleeve with the other, and couldn't help but exhort Cao Cao.

Cao Cao went here, not to mention that he was close to death, but he also had to bear great risks.

As a veteran who is loyal to the clan, he can only tell the other party like this.

Just as he said, if Cao Cao failed in this move, then I am afraid that Dong Zhuo will no longer have any opponents in Luoyang.

At that time, no matter whether they are officials in the court or the families behind them, it may be difficult to escape Dong Zhuo's liquidation.

……

"Hehe, what did Situ say?"

"I borrowed the knife from you this time, naturally to take the thief's life and return the big man a clean court."

Some indifferently waved at Wang Yun, Cao Cao left his home with Qibao Dao, found a restaurant, and started drinking and having fun.

It was not until the afternoon of the second day that Cao Cao took a bath and changed his clothes. Then, holding a long knife in his arms, he came to the gate of the palace.

……

"I am Cao Cao, Lieutenant of the Xiyuan Dian Military Academy of the Great Han Dynasty. I have come to find Taiwei Dong to discuss important matters. Don't stop me."

……

"This knife?"

"This knife is a treasure, and it is priceless in Luoyang City!"

"I heard a few days ago that the Taiwei searched for treasures and military equipment in Luoyang City, and wanted to give it to Lord Weiyang as a birthday present."

"I came here today to present a treasured sword!"

"If you stop me again and miss the important matter of the Taiwei, Lord Weiyang will get angry at that time, can you wait to take it!?"

……

In this way, relying on the excuse that he had already discussed with Wang Yun and others, Cao Cao sneaked into the palace with weapons without much effort.

As soon as he entered the palace, Cao Cao found that compared with half a year ago, the current palace has become much dilapidated.

After asking the little eunuch who was leading the way, Cao Cao found out that since Dong Zhuo lived in the palace, he began to abolish a large number of maids in the palace. Instead, the eunuchs used the army as attendants.

Many of those who were in charge of food, pruning flowers and plants, and taking care of the environment in the palace were laid off in the past two months.

Instead, some practical workers, or some waiters who were responsible for taking care of other people's daily life, were left behind.

……

Dong Zhuo's move, although at first glance it seemed a bit thrifty and meant to reduce useless expenses... But Cao Cao shook his head as he watched from the sidelines.

He didn't think Dong Zhuo did anything wrong, it was just that foreign ministers were foreign ministers after all, and ordinary people were only ordinary people after all.

Dong Zhuo's move seems reasonable at first glance, but it may not be a good thing for the whole man...

Dong Zhuo's ability and vision... that's all.

……

As we all know, the Han Dynasty is a centralized state, and it is a classical empire with an emperor.

In this country, the emperor is the symbol of the whole country, and the imperial power, or the emperor's daily life, is the most true portrayal of the state of the country in the eyes of countless courtiers and local shepherds.

Even the prairie tribes like the Xiongnu and Jiankun are staring at the life of the Han dynasty all the time!

To put it bluntly, as an emperor, is there any benefit in having rich clothes and fine food?

In fact, there is no benefit.

Apart from making the emperor's life more comfortable and more face-saving, it actually has no meaning.

Could it be that the emperors of all dynasties couldn't understand such a simple truth?

Of course not!

……

In the final analysis, the emperor's fine clothes and fine food seem to be a private matter, but at the level of a country, this is a kind of official business.

Only when your emperor lives a life of rich clothes and fine food, the civil and military officials who have been staring at you will feel that the development of the country is booming today, and they will not have the idea of ​​rebellion.

In the same way, when the royal family of the big man began to cut down on food and clothing, it was equivalent to sending a message to the aliens outside——

Today's big man is almost at the end of his road, as long as he kicks lightly outside, this ancient house built of mud will collapse.
