(ps: First of all, I would like to apologize to everyone for updating so late. Due to the website upgrade, I cannot open the author's backend, so I cannot upload the chapters I wrote last night. I have not uploaded them until now. Please forgive me.) Dian Wei
He turned to look at Cao Cao, and when he saw Cao Cao nodded slightly, he replied: "Because I am the one who killed the emperor today!"
As soon as these words came out, the people present were even more shocked. They all turned their eyes to Cao Cao, but they didn't say anything, and they didn't know how to say it.
"The truth of the matter has been revealed, and I will no longer hide it from you. As early as a month ago, when the Yan army crossed the Yellow River, I knew what Gao Fei was going to do. I specially sent Dian Wei to Yan.
According to what I know about Gao Fei, he will definitely keep Dian Wei and use Dian Wei to do something unfavorable to me. Therefore, I will use his plan and let Dian Wei lurk in the Yan army camp.
Here, extraordinary things can be done when necessary..."
At this point, Cao Cao stood up and asked: "Dian Wei, have the Xiliang soldiers regarded Gao Fei as the murderer of the emperor?"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, your subordinates showed up at the right time, and where the Emperor was at that time, only Pang De, Lu Heng and others from the Feiyu Army were there. After his subordinates assassinated the Emperor, they immediately escaped, and at the same time they had already called out the Yan Army to assassinate them.
The Xiliang soldiers must believe your Majesty's words." Dian Wei replied.
"very good."
After listening to this conversation, everyone present had their own secrets in their hearts, but most of them had no objections to Cao Cao's actions. To them, the emperor was just a decoration.
However, for Xu Shu and Liu Ye, it is of extraordinary significance.
Xu Shu followed Cao Cao because he took a fancy to Cao Cao's qualities and because of Xi Zhicai's strong recommendation, he became Cao Cao's chief military advisor after Xi Zhicai died of illness and advised Cao Cao.
However, what he never expected was that Cao Cao would openly do such a treasonous thing. Although he had no hope of not repaying the royal family of the Han Dynasty, he could not say that he would kill at will. He did not agree with this.
My heart felt like a heavy hammer was pressing down on me, making me extremely uncomfortable.
However, he did not dare to show it on the outside, because just now, Cao Cao's wise eyes had already examined everyone present.
Liu Ye is a descendant of Fuling King Liu Yan, son of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu of the Eastern Han Dynasty. He is an upright clan member of the Han Dynasty. Unlike Liu Bei, who always says that he is a descendant of the Han Dynasty, he is already very famous at a young age.
, so after Cao Cao occupied Xuzhou and Yuzhou, he heard that he was in Yangzhou, so he sent people to bring gold and silver to invite him to serve as an official.
He did not hesitate at that time and followed Cao Cao. Although he only serves as an aide next to Cao Cao, he often provides advice to Cao Cao. He also felt that Cao Cao had the qualities to be a hero and would achieve great success in the future, so he never left.
However, although he had no hope for the Han Dynasty, and he did not like Liu Bei who kept saying that it was his duty to revive the Han Dynasty, from the bottom of his heart, he still did not want anyone to do anything drastic against the Han Dynasty. Cao Cao's behavior
The move hit his weak point. He sat there silently, but his heart was already in a state of confusion.
"Yuanzhi, Ziyang, what are you two thinking?" Cao Cao suddenly asked.
Xu Shu said: "I'm wondering if the situation in Guandu will change once the emperor dies and the news of Gao Fei's regicide spreads."
Cao Cao said "Oh", turned his gaze to Liu Ye, and asked: "Mr. Ziyang, what about you?"
Liu Ye straightened up, cupped his hands and replied: "King Wei, I was thinking that your Majesty passed away without leaving any heirs, and the former emperor only had one heir left. First, Hongnong King Liu Xie was killed by General He Jin.
, Today the emperor has died again, who will be the emperor in the Han Dynasty, and will the Han Dynasty end here? After the collapse of the earth, will the Han Dynasty show the situation of the seven heroes standing side by side during the Warring States Period..."
After hearing this, Cao Cao laughed and said: "Both of you have far-reaching thoughts than I. I am just wondering how many people present are not consistent with my heart..."
After a pause, Cao Cao looked around, and the smile on his face disappeared. His eyes were burning, and he looked at the civil and military personnel present one by one.
After that, there was a long silence, and everyone felt an indescribable pressure. Everyone sat there, not daring to move, but their eyes kept meeting each other.
When Cao Cao's eyes moved to Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Dun's one eye radiated light, and he shouted in a low voice: "Your Majesty, you know me. Yuan Rang is loyal to your Majesty."
Cao Cao nodded and moved his gaze to Cao Ren.
"Your Majesty, you know me well. Ever since I followed your Majesty, Zixiao has always followed your Majesty's lead."
Cao Cao nodded again and shifted his gaze to Cao Hong.
"Your Majesty, what do you think I'm doing? I, Cao Zilian, have been spying on women taking baths with you since I was a child. You asked me to keep it a secret at that time, but I haven't said it to this day..." Cao Hong suddenly covered his mouth in the middle of his words.
, looked around and saw that everyone's faces were tense, wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh. He felt uncomfortable looking at that expression. However, he also realized that he was speechless. At this time, he wished he could find a place to burrow into.
Go in.
His face flushed with embarrassment, and he glanced sideways at Cao Cao. Seeing that Cao Cao's expressionless face made him even more afraid to look at Cao Cao. In the end, his face was so red that it almost caught up with Guan Yu's face.
"Your Majesty, we are loyal to your Majesty and have no second thoughts. The sky is clear and I can learn from it." Li Dian, Yue Jin, Yu Jin, Cao Xiu and others, without waiting for Cao Cao to turn his attention to them, they endured.
Jun couldn't help it, and unexpectedly clasped his fists to express his loyalty to Cao Cao.
"Your Majesty knows the laws well and rewards you with more rewards than anyone else in the world. We will do our best and dare not fail to do the work of dogs and horses." Xu Shu, Cheng Yu, Liu Ye, Man Chong, Dong Zhao, Ren Jun, Mao Jie
The others said loudly together.
"We are willing to go to the Mountain of Swords and the Sea of Fire for your Majesty, even if we die, we will have no regrets!" Dian Wei and Xu Chu saw this, looked at each other, and said in unison.
Cao Cao suddenly burst out laughing, then sat down, motioning for everyone to sit down, and said slowly: "I don't know what you think of me, Cao Cao. Of course, I believe that there are a very few people among you who are saying this.
I don’t care what you think of me. I, Cao Cao, will always be Cao Cao.
Damn, he is the most unique in the world. The head of the regicide should be killed and his head should be hung at the city gate. Today, the words left my mouth and entered your ears. I don’t want anyone else to know about this.
From now on, please don’t agree on one thing or another. Anyone who commits the crime of regicide by assassinating the emperor will be punished by Gao Fei!"
"No!" everyone replied in unison.
Xu Shu lowered his head and looked at the food and wine in front of him. He didn't turn around for a long time, thinking secretly: "Is this the so-called tyrant? Then what is the purpose of his regicide? Is it just to blame Gao Fei?
?Cao Cao...you
It is indeed unique, and it is precisely because of this that I, Xu Shu, will follow you wholeheartedly. Although my heart was shaken just now because you sent Dian Wei to kill the king, those who achieve great things can also be killed by their relatives, let alone a puppet emperor.
?”
Liu Ye's state of mind was completely different from Xu Shu's. Although he could not accept Cao Cao sending Dian Wei to kill the emperor, in such an era when all heroes were rising together, it was obvious that the Liu family's world had been divided up and no one could stop the Han Dynasty.
disintegration. He thought secretly: "Your Majesty
How should an emperor be established without a son? Perhaps Cao Mengde took a fancy to this point. Without an emperor to succeed to the throne, the world might show a different scene. It seems that the empire of the Han Dynasty will finally fall apart. So
Where will this war go?"
There was a dull moment in the big tent. I don't know if it was because everyone knew the news of the emperor's death. Although no one shed tears or cried, everyone felt uncomfortable. Cao Cao's temptation just now made them all feel that Cao Cao, this
People are very suspicious.
Just when the atmosphere in the big tent was still lifeless, Cao Chun, wearing a battle armor, a sharp sword hanging at his waist, and an iron helmet, walked in from outside the big tent with a smile on his face. As soon as he entered the big tent,
He cupped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, the battlefield has been cleared.
After the sweep, our army won a complete victory. Ma Chao's main ghost army, 13,637 cavalry, was burned to death in a fire. At the same time, Qian Hu, one of Ma Chao's four generals, also died in the fire. In this battle,
Our army's casualties were only 378."
"Hahaha... Very good. This is a gratifying thing. Together with the good news brought by Dian Wei, it is a double happiness. Cao Chun, take a seat." Cao Cao said happily.
"promise!"
When Cao Chun took his seat, Cao Cao raised the wine glass in his hand and said: "Everyone, please drink this glass to the fullest, and then enjoy it to your heart's content. After eating and drinking, the entire army retreated thirty miles and stationed at Niujiatun to wait.
Xia Houyuan arrived with reinforcements."
"promise!"
……………………
On the city wall of Juan County, Gao Fei had been standing under the sun for a full hour. No matter how hot the sun was, it could not stop him.
It has been four days since Zhao Yun led the Rangers away. During these four days, Gao Fei has been worried about them. These are elites drawn from various branches of the army. They all became generals after experiencing hundreds of battles.
If their entire army is annihilated, it means that the entire Yan Army's generals will be directly cut off.
Sima Lang walked up quickly from the bottom of the stairs. As soon as he came to Gao Fei's side, he leaned over and said, "My lord, I went to see it again. Li Yulin said that General Zhao did not send back any information through the carrier pigeon."
"Except for the news about the battle at Shuangzhong Ridge two days ago, there has been no news from Zhao Yun and the others for two days. Will something happen?" Gao Fei said worriedly, both as a question and as if talking to himself.
.
Sima Lang said: "General Zhao is extremely skilled in martial arts. Pang De, Guan Hai, Lu Heng, Li Tie and others are all also very skilled. Together with two hundred generals who have experienced hundreds of battles, such a powerful special force is unparalleled in the world."
It is rare, and the battle at Shuangzhongling is the best example. Please be at ease, Your Majesty."
Gao Fei nodded, and just as he was about to turn around, he saw a group of cavalry, about a hundred cavalry, galloping in from a distance. He glanced at the leader and said happily: "We're back, Zhao Yun and the others are back...
...Quickly, let the soldiers line up to welcome the heroes in triumph!"
