Cao Cao put aside all his pretentiousness and hypocrisy, and even developed a barrier between him and Xun Yu. He used such decisive means to protect his status on the land of Yingchuan, perhaps for his own status, but he also wanted to gain more time and accumulate more strength before this great man really collapsed.
As for Fei Qian's great man from the Three Guards of Guanzhong...
Although it is indeed good and seems to be very good, for Cao Cao, that is not the great man in his impression, not.
Cao Cao was in a family of eunuchs. He had a complex emotion about the Han Dynasty and the Emperor that even Cao Cao could not explain clearly. Perhaps he was like a loyal servant watching the decline of his family business, or like a father watching his daughter getting married, or some other related feeling, which sometimes made Cao Cao feel headache and some behavioral contradictions.
Especially when Cao Cao saw people in Shandong, he gradually began to accept Guanzhong and even pursued some of the fashions in Guanzhong...
Cao Cao really couldn't tell what it felt like.
Cao Cao was no longer willing to think about whether what he did was right or wrong. Among so many people who were killed or injured, Cao Cao could not check it out in detail, because under his command, he had already experienced countless struggles of life and death, and had already tempered his hard mentality early.
For success.
perhaps.
For the great man.
Maybe.
But more of it is still Cao Cao's obsession...
The smoke and flames of smoke echoed throughout the city made many people in the city look desperate.
Including Emperor Liu Xie.
There were riots in the whole city, and Prime Minister Cao Cao's mansion was closed, and the soldiers in the city were missing. Many news that the rioters had no idea were coming, causing chaos in the palace to suddenly become confused. Everyone did not know how the matter became like this now.
No one can tell why the riots in the city were caused, and they don’t even know what these rioters were going to do, whether they were preparing to rebel or just express their grievances.
Although the leader of the imperial guards in charge of the palace guards said that everything was safe and that no rioters had rammed the palace, the emperor Liu Xie's face was still very bad. He remembered many things from that year. He thought he had forgotten these things, but now he remembered them again.
Emperor Liu Xie subconsciously asked someone to find Cao Cao to pacify the chaos in the city. However, after the eunuch Huangmen ran out to pass the order, Liu Xie suddenly realized that he had no other choice.
No choice!
Even though he didn't like Cao Cao before.
The concubine hugged the prince and the daughter, curled up in the hall, staring at the small eyes, mixed with the terrifying crying that the children could not suppress, which made everyone's hearts messy, and made Emperor Liu Xie unable to understand at all.
What's wrong with this?
Why is this happening?
In the end, the old eunuch manager around Liu Xie was a little calmer and suggested whether to separate some guards from the palace and prepare some dry food and supplies...
The old eunuch meant that if the palace gate was lost and the chaotic people rushed in, at least they could be transferred quickly so that they would not be in a hurry.
If it really reaches an unbearable moment and cannot escape, it will be completely called a one-pot stew.
Emperor Liu Xie nodded and asked someone to go for preparation. He couldn't sit in the hall, so he climbed up to the high platform in the palace with some guards and looked out.
The fires in the city are reflected in the dark sky.
Between the light and the shadow, I don’t know how many people are running and screaming wildly, nor how many good people and bad people are there.
Suddenly a chaotic clamor at the intersection of the street, and the emperor Liu Xie couldn't help but grab the railing tightly!
The great man and the emperor fled in panic several times like a stray dog. Is it going to be staged again today?!
Amid the shouting, a group of people turned around in the corner of Yu Street in the distance, all wearing dirty and old black and red military robes...
"This is a great Han soldier!"
Liu Xie's heart jumped suddenly, and his face became paler.
These "army soldiers" carry all kinds of property on their waists and backs. They have all kinds of things in their hands, some holding swords and guns, but some holding the butcher's bone-removing knife!
Even some iron rulers and door bolts are quite chaotic.
But despite the messy weapons in their hands, these "army soldiers" have unified things, such as all kinds of wealth, and they are randomly tied into bags tied into cloth. Some even fall out as they run away because they are unable to fit. From time to time, some people stop to pick them up.
It feels like a group of bandits, more than a group of soldiers, and it just came out after robbing from a wealthy family...
"How can you be like this..." Liu Xie roared in pain, "You are soldiers from the Han Dynasty, and you should have defended your country..."
"No! These people are not soldiers!" An imperial guard beside Emperor Liu Xie suddenly spoke out, "These people pretend to be soldiers!"
『Impersonation?』 Liu Xie was stunned for a moment, 『Who is impersonating? Why is he impersonating?』
"The little one, the little one doesn't know..." The guard beside him replied, "The little one only saw that the robes on these people were all old-fashioned..."
Because when Cao Cao and Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were fighting, everyone was actually Han soldiers and their battle robes were mainly red and black. So after that, in order to distinguish between enemies and us, some changes were made. For example, Yuan Shao in the later stage even wanted to change it to blue...
Emperor Liu Xie heard that these people were pretending to be impersonated, and I don’t know why he felt a little relieved, but he still had doubts in his heart, why would anyone impersonate him?
Why is it for impersonation?
Just to make it easier to grab money, does no one dare to stop it?
Emperor Liu Xie couldn't understand, but Xiahou Dun, outside Xu County, knew where these people came from.
Some people intentionally disguised themselves as if they were disguised as Qingzhou soldiers. Their purpose was not to rob property, but more importantly, to destroy the trust of the people in the city for Cao's army!
A group of people wearing military robes of Han soldiers do dirty, humble and shameless things. Will ordinary people remember these sins on those who commit the crime?
No, the person who commits evil deeds does not have a name on his face, let alone wearing a military robe of the Han Dynasty!
Therefore, the people who suffer will remember that they will always be a great Han military robe that does not know the true or false!
With this impression formed, it would be the same as Xuzhou that day...
By then, the little trust accumulated by Cao's army in Yingchuan, Yuzhou, and even in the entire Shandong would collapse!
Anyway, Cao Jun has done some things before...
Xuzhou.
Isn't it?
Xiahou was unable to explain to Xuzhou, so naturally he could not explain the current doubts.
A temporary solution!
At that time, it was indeed a temporary temporary measure, but who could have thought that those at that time would have laid hidden dangers for today?
If we can go back to the previous years and give another chance, when Cao Cao is in a dilemma in Xuzhou and his morale is unstable, should he continue to choose to massacre the city to support the army, or sacrifice himself?
The cold wind whistled, causing the generals on the slope to recognize the flag, and the silk ribbons of the battle robe fluttered.
Xiahou Dun and a group of military generals on the high slope were silently watching the smoke rising in Xu County.
The screams of exclamations and cries in the city came here, and they were swept and torn by the bitter cold wind, and they became a little dazed.
Under Xiahou Dun, some generals of the Xiahou clan of the Cao clan, and now some people still have some incredible expressions, as if they are not awake in a dream.
The truth of the chaos broke out in the military camp. Except for several core generals such as Cao Cao and Xiahou Dun, no one knew it very well. Even the general members of the Cao Xiahou clan did not know it. Of course, this move was to keep it a secret. It was not to say that there were any traitors among the Cao Xiahou clans around Cao Cao and Xiahou Dun, but to prevent someone from accidentally leaking the news.
After all, people are too quainted, and those who have no intention may not escape the intention.
Now it seems that this plan is very successful, and it has successfully attracted all the damn people in the city...
However, Xiahou Dun was not happy to succeed in his plan, and he felt angry and sad. Although Xiahou Dun said that his wisdom was not low, it was somewhat insufficient compared to those advisers who speculated on people's hearts and planned current affairs all day long. Therefore, although he knew the tactical arrangements and process changes, he found it difficult to understand the chaos and impermanence of people's hearts...
Isn't it good to be stable and develop?
Who would have thought that Cao Cao had just sent out the two false news that "the riots in the military farm were hard to quell" and that "Xiahou led his troops to suppress the rebellion", and that it was a few days before the chaos in Xu County was in such a state!
Even the stupidest person understands that these people in the city are all coming for Cao Cao...
Local corruption and officials were corrupt. In order to investigate and eliminate these corrupt officials, Cao Cao took action and put a knife. These corrupt officials immediately didn't even have the shame and directly fought back! If these rioters succeeded today, then the news would be spread out. Cao Cao could not defend even the core core of Xu County and could not maintain order, so how could he control Shandong?!
At that time, it will be more than just a city in Xu County in front of you!
At that time, there will be independence and separatist, and separatist, and the land of Shandong that has finally been put together will become you Yuzhou people, Jizhou people, Qingzhou people, and Xuzhou people...
You are all around, and you are all enemies!
No, we.
Then Shandong is finished...
It's completely finished.
Why do you need this?
Isn’t it good to be a dignified Han man?
Why do we have to tell that we are from Yuzhou, Jizhou, and from wherever we are from, and then we despise each other, scold each other, and then...
Who is doing these things? Doing these things?
What Xiahou Dun couldn't figure it out, Guo Jia and Xun Yu knew it in their hearts.
Because Xiahou Dun was somehow considered a military general, while Guo Jia and Xun Yu were born into children of the gentry.
This is the case with the times. No one can let these gentry children understand the righteousness at once and be loyal to the country. What's more, these people have long thought they are great, they are the trendsetters of the times, the sons of God, and they are protected by God. Every night, they spend their lives in the name of a certain young man, a certain son, a man, and a famous scholar. They are surrounded by a group of people who praise each other and intoxicate each other, which makes these gentry children only think of themselves and forget that there is a "country" in front of the "home".
Cao Cao drove them mainly based on the interests of the group itself. Perhaps after Cao Cao's status is more stable and he relies on more power in the future, these teams will naturally change their attitude towards Cao Cao. But now, Cao Cao has not achieved as success as in history, so Cao Cao's prestige is much lower than in history.
Cao Cao lacked prestige, and these gentry children were arrogant and felt that they could survive the difficult Yellow Turban Rebellion, Dong Zhuo's turbulence, and the two Yuans compete for hegemony, so naturally they could continue to survive!
A big deal, change to another emperor!
No way, after changing the emperor, I can live a more comfortable life!
One day the emperor is the minister!
Guo Jia suddenly smiled at Xun Yu, and said with a flashing look: "I said, the last time Yingyin was in chaos... I killed dozens of people. Now Xu County is in chaos. How many people do you think you want to kill? One thousand or two thousand? Haha, I'm afraid it's not enough..."
Xun Yu sighed long, without desire to answer.
Guo Jia laughed a few times, but in his laughter, he didn't have much pleasure, but instead he was a little depressed and angry, "The bet he had done... it really happened! I... I lost, I lost... Haha...
『But...』 Guo Jia suddenly stopped smiling, and said in silence for a while, "I have a feeling... this is the matter, it seems to be too smooth...』
Xun Yu was stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise: "Fengxiao, you mean... in Shandong... or Zhong Yuanchang..."
『It's not him..." Guo Jia shook his head and said, 『This matter...isn't I underestimate Zhong Yuanchang, but this matter? What he can't do is not like his work...but it's a bit like...
Guo Jia looked west.
Xun Yu was confused because he was concerned about this, so he didn't think about this matter carefully. Now when Guo Jia mentioned it, he was shocked, "You mean..."
Guo Jia nodded slightly, "I just... I just can't understand how this matter is intervening and where it is promoted... I just feel like it's going down smoothly, like a wind behind it... It's so amazing... How did it do it?"
Xun Yu couldn't help but ponder, and then his spirits were much better than before, and his eyes moved, "Would you please find something for me to reduce my worries?"
Guo Jia nodded, "This is such an idea...but I feel that this is true..."
"Feeling?" Xun Yu confirmed again. Xun Yu did not scold Guo Jia for saying the word "feeling" that was unreliable, but attached great importance to this feeling, because he knew that if it was completely unreliable, Guo Jia would basically not say it. Since he said it, it means that there are some problems, but there is no clue yet.
"Then find him out!" Xun Yu suddenly had fighting spirit and his spirit became high. "Since someone did something, he would definitely leave something, and then we can know what it is!"
Guo Jia smiled and nodded.
The two of them looked at each other and finally laughed, just like the noise and the hustle and bustle outside the yard, outside the escort, and the colors of light and fire did not exist.
In fact, these noises are indeed not worth worrying about.
Especially when Cao Cao's army was approaching.
Not only Xiahou's soldiers came, but also other men and horses.
Outside the north gate of Xu County, there was also a mess. The ground was filled with cars that were rushing, shoes that were thrown away, and all kinds of miscellaneous objects. Some people were lying motionless on the ground, obviously dead. Under the light of the fire, some purple-black blood stains were everywhere, which was quite shocking.
Ren Jun and Zhong Yao looked solemn. They guessed that the situation might be more serious, but they didn't expect it to be so serious...
The fire and heat in the city rose, causing the cold wind around the city to rush into the city, just like countless invisible and shadowy spiritual objects filling the Shura field, which reminds people of it, just like the spirit of the great Han Dynasty? Or the dragon energy of the great Han Dynasty? The Shandong people who are used to the words of prophecies and divination will inevitably be more suspicious due to such shocking changes.
This suspicion was soon broken by military orders.
"What? Block the door? It's not about suppressing the chaos in the streets, but just blocking the door first?" Ren Jun carefully looked at the military order under the fire, and then confirmed that the person who sent the military order was indeed the familiar guard next to Xiahou Dun, so even if he didn't fully understand, he had to bow and obey the order.
"Transfer orders! Advance troops! Occupy the gates, and be separated from inside and outside! There is no need to chase and kill the rioters. Those who surrender on the spot will not be killed! If there is any abnormal movement, they will be killed without mercy!"
Wherever you are, you are doing what you do.
Ren Jun is very clear about this.
The same is true for Zhong Yao.
As the first to think that the situation was wrong, then expressed goodwill to Cao Cao and took corresponding actions, he naturally received some rewards.
After all, it is not that Cao Cao cannot tolerate these gentry children, but that these gentry children cannot tolerate Cao Cao!
I am ugly in my eating habits, but I do not allow others to blame me, and I do not want to correct me!
Now, if you don’t want to change it, someone will help you change it!
The soldiers of Cao's army rushed together. Under the bombing war drums, Xiahou Dun rushed into Xu County from the south, west of the city, and Ren Jun from the north and east of the city!
Surrounded from all sides!
It's decided in one fell swoop!
Those who were in trouble in Xu County still thought of continuing to create chaos, pushing ordinary people up to die, and then they could get out of the chaos. However, they did not expect that Cao's army ignored the ordinary people who ran and bumped around in disorder. Instead, as soon as they entered the city, they immediately cut the entire Xu County into separate parts along the streets and Lifang!
Anyone who ran around in the city, as long as he surrendered on the spot, would not be killed, so many ordinary people surrendered directly, and those who were still thinking of resisting and disturbing were immediately revealed. The more alert, they quickly pretended to be ordinary people and surrendered on the ground. Those who were slow or confused were killed directly on the spot!
Fires are flying!
Blood is everywhere!
In front of the real soldiers' battle formation, the fake soldiers had no ability to resist, just like a hot knife cutting oil, which was split in an instant, defeated, and killed.
Chapter completed!
