Well, the *** votes are very powerful, I am very relieved.
Brothers, keep going, *** tickets don’t cost any money, please support me a lot!

In fact, there were no signs of chaos in Xudu City.
Since the beginning of the war in Runan, Xudu has implemented a night ban. After nightfall, markets are closed and shops are locked. Pedestrians without badges will be subject to interrogation if they are discovered. In mild cases, they sleep on the streets, and in severe cases, even They will be thrown into jail and fined or fined. In this emergency period, smart people will never break the law. After dark, they will stay at home obediently.
Groups of soldiers and horses entered the capital and launched operations in an extremely orderly manner.
The Hussar General's Mansion outside Yuxiu Gate was the first to bear the brunt. A group of wolf-like and tiger-like sergeants broke open the door, and then it was tightly controlled.
After Dong Cheng entered autumn, his health became unwell.
After the Battle of Runan, I was even more worried, so I was bedridden for several days.
Suddenly hearing that there was a chaos in the palace, Dong Cheng quickly asked: "What happened?"
"Master, something bad has happened. The house is surrounded by people."
"ah?"
Dong Cheng was shocked and pale, and quickly ordered his maids to help him up, put on his clothes and walked out of the bedroom.
In the Qiusi Mansion, there were cries and cries.
The servants and maids who had no idea what was going on were all very nervous and looked pale. With the support of the maids, Dong Cheng had just walked to the middle pavilion when he saw a group of soldiers approaching. Look at them. The attire seems to be that of a soldier from the Shesheng Battalion.
"Who are you, who dare to break into the Hussar Mansion?"
Dong Cheng was shocked and angry, and asked sternly.
The leader will step forward and say, "A certain family called Sima Xiahou En, in the name of Sikong, to greet the Hussars General."
"Xia Houen, you..." Dong Cheng's voice trembled with anger, and he shouted angrily: "Is this how Cao Sikong asked you to greet me?"
"Otherwise, what does General Anji want?"
A loud voice sounded, and the soldiers separated.
I saw Mr. Cao walking forward with the support of Dian Wei and Xu Chu.
General Anji was Dong Cheng’s official position in the second year of Xingping.
Dong Cheng was originally a subordinate of Dong Zhuo's general Niu Fu, and was also the nephew of the Empress Dowager Dong. As for how he defected to Dong Zhuo, there was some chance. However, after Dong Zhuo's death, Dong Cheng was not implicated because of the Empress Dowager Dong. On the contrary, he was reused.
The reason is very simple.
The mother of Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty was Wang Meiren. She died very early, so she was raised by the Empress Dowager Dong.
When Emperor Ling was on the throne, his eldest son Liu Bian was the son of Empress He. He was supported by General He Jin and was later promoted to the throne. Empress Dowager Dong had always hoped that Liu Xie would ascend the throne, so she always supported Liu Xie. That's right. For this reason, Dong Cheng gained Liu Xie's important position. Later, Dong Cheng's daughter married Liu Xie and became a noble in the palace. Therefore, Dong Cheng became the head of the country.
Seeing Mr. Cao, Dong Cheng was so excited that he shuddered.
"Why is Cao Sikong here?"
"If I don't come, I'm afraid the head on my neck will be presented to Yuan Shao."
"What do you mean by Sikong's words?"
"Hmph, I heard that General Anji has been very close to some people recently and often whispers at home. So I came here to ask what he said."
"Sikong, Cheng has been in poor health recently and has not been in contact with others."
"Yeah?"
Mr. Cao's face suddenly turned ferocious, and he said sternly: "Search for me!"
Before Dong Cheng could speak, Dian Wei Xu Chu and Huben broke into the inner palace.
"Cao Mengde, you broke into my house without any reason and are so presumptuous. Sooner or later, you will be criticized in front of His Majesty."
Mr. Cao sneered and ignored Dong Cheng's roars and questions. He glanced at the family members behind Dong Cheng, and his eyes narrowed into a slit inadvertently.
"Hey, who knows about this?"
The family members looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
"If anyone tells Dong Cheng's secret, I will promise him something."
Before he finished speaking, a young man suddenly said: "Sikong, I know."
"Dong Qing, what do you want to do?"
Dong Cheng was startled and shouted loudly.
That young man was Dong Cheng's student boy, named Dong Qing.
I saw Dong Qing's eyes rolling, and said: "Do you agree to anything if you tell me?"
"That's right!"
"I don't ask for anything else. I just ask Sikong to give me Feng Yuan as my wife, and I will be satisfied."
"Feng Yuan?"
Mr. Cao was stunned and turned to look at Dong Cheng.
Someone came forward to report: "Feng Yuan is one of Dong Chengxin's concubines."
"Dong Qing, you are so bold..."
"Tell him to shut up."
Mr. Cao shouted sharply and saw two primary schools coming up and stuffing cloth into Dong Cheng's mouth.
"Since the beginning of the year, Dong Qiaoqi has often secretly summoned officials from the central government. Although the villain didn't know what was going on, he saw them sneaking around and writing something on a piece of white silk. Later, the villain kept an eye out,
I found that Dong Qiao had hidden the white silk in the secret compartment of his bedroom. The villain is willing to lead the way and offer it to Sikong... But I don’t know if what Sikong just promised can be counted."
"certainly!"
There was a hint of ferocity on Mr. Cao's face.
He waved his hand and asked people to follow Dong Qing into the back house.
After a while, Dong Qing came over holding a pair of white silk.
When Dong Cheng saw it, he was shocked. He used both arms to break away from the military school's hand and rushed towards Dong Qing. But before he could get closer, Xu Chu stepped forward and kicked Dong Cheng in the chest. This kick
Go and kick Dong Cheng until he spits out blood and falls to the ground...
————————————————————————
Historically, the incident of the Clothes and Belt Edict was caused by the imperial doctor Ji Ping's attempt to poison people.
However, this time, due to the appearance of Cao Peng, the case of various theft of weapons was solved, allowing Cao Cao to take the initiative from the beginning.
Starting from April, Cao Zhen was the first to notice the abnormal movements of Zhong Ji and others, and today it has exploded.
There were a total of forty-three people in the belt edict, all of which were captured by Cao Cao. They also included the partial general Wang Fu, Zhaoxin general Wu Lan and other important officials of the court. In addition to Liu Bei who was wandering around, and Ma Teng who had returned to the third assistant
In addition, none of the members of the Clothes Order escaped.
That night, Cao Cao led Huben into the palace and plotted a rebellion under the pretext that Concubine Dong Guifei had deceived the public with her evil words. He killed her regardless of her pregnancy.
Later, Cao Cao ordered Cao Ren to serve as a guard and mobilized 3,000 Yulin troops to control the palace gates and not allow anyone to enter or exit at will.
On the second day, Cao Cao ordered all the members of the Yidaizhao to be beheaded, and all the members of the family were killed...
Forty-one people, almost all of them are important officials in the court.
In total, more than two thousand people were beheaded outside Xudu City.
The minister ordered Xun Yu, the great craftsman Kong Rong and others to intercede one after another.
Xun Yu even bluntly said: If all forty-one important ministers were killed, the court would probably be paralyzed.
However, at this time, Cao Cao would never be merciful. After sternly criticizing Xun Yu, he still ordered to behead him.
For a moment, the whole city was shocked!
Cao Peng returned to Xudu the next day. When he came back, the dust had settled.
Outside the city gate, human heads were piled up and stacked together to form a temple. Under the sunlight, they gave off a ferocious and terrifying aura.
The white reeds were dyed red.
It’s shocking!
Cao Peng couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Starting from tonight, Cao Peng will become the enemy of the world!
However, Cao Peng can understand Cao ***.
To this day, Cao Cao has not shown any thoughts of plotting to usurp the throne. Everything he has done is to revitalize the Han Dynasty and be a minister of rejuvenation like Huo Guang. However, he was born at the wrong time. Han Dynasty
Although the family is here, their hearts are gone. What everyone is plotting is more of a struggle for authority and interests. Even people like Dong Cheng are mostly just trying to gain more authority and interests.
The decisive battle with Yuan Shao is imminent.
But in my own home, Xiaoxiao is running rampant...
Isn’t there such a saying?
Before fighting the outside world, you must first make peace with the inside!
Mr. Cao had no other choice, because if these people stayed, they would definitely become a nuisance to his confidants. If he didn’t kill them all as a warning, there would be no guarantee that someone would take the opportunity to get lucky. You see, it would be fine if they rebelled, and Mr. Cao would be fine too.
No big deal, I can do it too.
There is a high possibility of such an idea, and Mr. Cao has no choice but to guard against it.
But if he really started killing...
Cao Peng sighed softly and urged his horse towards the city gate.
A carriage slowly came out of Xudu City. The moment it passed Cao Peng, the carriage suddenly stopped.
"Marquis Cao Zhong!"
A soft voice came from the car.
Cao Peng reined in his horse and turned to look.
The car curtain was raised and a young man stepped out of the car.
"Marquis of Linyi?"
When Cao Peng saw the young man clearly, a strange look appeared on his face.
This young man is Liu Guang, the Marquis of Linyi, who is known as the "Han Dog". Judging from his appearance, he does not seem to be frightened. He looks complacent and shows a leisurely look. Cao Peng couldn't help but feel a little strange. This early in the morning,
Why did Liu Guang leave the city?
"Where does the Marquis of Linyi want to go?"
"Oh, what happened last night... I think Cao Zhonghou also knows about it?"
Cao Peng didn't comment, and Liu Guang didn't ask any more questions.
"Your Majesty was frightened. I heard that there is a temple in Yingyin, so I wanted to go to Yingyin to pray for your Majesty's safety."
Just begging for peace?
A glimmer of light flashed in Cao Peng's eyes.
"Marquis Linyi, this is the fourth time we have met."
"ah?"
"The first time, we were in the dog fighting hall. Linyi Hou defeated my second brother and almost won his black dragon; the second time, we were in the market, but I had something to do at the time, so we only chatted for a few words.
."
"I remember these two times, but this third time..."
"Perhaps the Marquis of Linyi is a noble man who forgets things. We met in Luoyang a month and a half ago."
"Luoyang?" Liu Guang's face changed slightly and he said with a smile: "Cao Zhonghou must have misjudged the person. I have been in Xudu recently and have not left. After the summer, I was not feeling well, so I stayed at home.
How can I go to Luoyang if I don't even want to stay away from you?"
"Yeah?"
Cao Peng smiled and said, "I'm afraid I saw it wrong!"
"It must be so."
"However, the war is now in chaos and it is not peaceful outside.
It is a blessing to be able to recuperate at home. Don't get into trouble, otherwise it will be troublesome."
Cao Peng smiled and said, sounding concerned.
"Marquis of Linyi, I have to go back to resume my duties, but I won't accompany you... As I said, if you have nothing to do, you should be at home. It is not good to go out at this time."
"Thank you very much, Marquis Cao Zhong, for your concern."
Liu Guang smiled slightly and said goodbye to Cao Peng.
Watching Cao Peng go away, Liu Guang still stood beside the car, motionless for a long time.
"Master Hou..."
"Let's go around in a circle and go back."
Liu Guang suddenly said, turned around and boarded the carriage.
"Go back? Aren't you going to Yingyin?"
"not going……"
Liu Guang felt a sense of emotion in his heart.
Deep down in his heart, he did not agree with the Han Emperor's impatient seizure of power. Because of the current situation of the Han Emperor, even if he took control of the power, it would be difficult to do anything. Although Cao Cao was domineering, he had not shown any resistance.
The top priority is to make peace with Mr. Cao, and then slowly accumulate strength. Yes, as time goes by, Mr. Cao will become more and more powerful. But as long as the Han Dynasty survives, there will always be
Opportunity. Now that he has turned against Cao Cao, it is very likely to cause him to flee for the second time. If he is displaced again, the Han Dynasty will really be hopeless!
As for Liu Bei, Liu Guang didn't care much.
He met Liu Bei twice, but his senses were not very good.
Liu Bei was friendly and had the air of an elder.
However, Liu Guang felt that under Liu Bei's intimacy, there seemed to be endless ambition and desire hidden.
This person can endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens when he is frustrated; once he gains power, he will surely transform into a dragon. Although he is a clan member of the Han Dynasty, compared with people like Liu Biao, Liu Bei has many more ambitions. Even if Cao Cao is killed by Liu Bei, the Han Dynasty
The emperor's situation may not be better than it is now.
If Liu Guang was asked to choose between Cao *** and Liu Bei, Liu Guang would be more willing to believe in Cao ***.
Liu Bei is too thoughtful...and cannot be relied upon!
Originally, Liu Guang was planning to go to Yingyin to pay a visit to the extremely powerful Yingchuan boss.
Now, he suddenly lost interest...
When you are unable to change the situation, the best way is to maintain the situation.
At this time, it is better not to act rashly.
There was a hint of awakening in Cao Peng's words.
No matter what his psychology was, Liu Guang felt that Cao Peng had no malicious intent when he said these words.
Nowadays, the situation is unpredictable, and the thoughts of the big bosses are even more difficult to figure out. It is better to be still than to move, and let's wait and see the changes for the time being.
"Old Mo!"
"Slave here."
"Bai Long seems to be giving birth soon."
"Yes, it is expected to be produced next month."
"When the time comes, choose two cubs with good muscles and bones and send them to Cao Zhonghou."
"ah?"
Lao Mo was startled and couldn't help being astonished.
"One more friend is better than one more enemy."
The car curtain swished down.
Liu Guang sat in the car and slowly closed his eyes.
Friends?
I really hope that I can have a friend I can talk to.
——————————————————————————————————
The turmoil caused by the Yidai Edict did not last long.
After Cao Cao finished dealing with the hidden worries within the capital, his eyes were fixed on Yuan Shao in Hebei and Liu Bei who fled to Qingzhou.
Yuan Tan respected Liu Bei quite a lot. After receiving Liu Bei's request for help, he immediately ordered general Jiang Yiqu to attack and hold Zang Ba back. Xiahou Dun and Xu Qiu, on the other hand, were confused by Liu Bei and could not figure out Liu Bei's true identity.
Purpose. At the end of August, Liu Bei passed through Taishan County, joined Jiang Yiqu's troops, and then retreated to Qingzhou under the rule of Yuan Tan. Yuan Tan personally went out to meet Liu Bei and quickly sent Liu Bei to Yecheng.
"Your family members have not followed you?"
Yuan Tan looked at the soldiers and horses beside Liu Bei and couldn't help asking curiously.
Liu Bei smiled bitterly and said: "It's not that Bei didn't want to bring his wife and children here, it's really...this march of thousands of miles will inevitably cause trouble. Therefore, after breaking out from Ruyin, Bei ordered his generals to divide into two groups with his wife and children. Bei
He led the troops to attract the attention of Cao's thieves, while his wife and children fled to Jingzhou to find a safe place to stay for the time being. After the general sent his troops south to attack Xudu and eradicated the traitor Cao, he would then try to fight with Cao's thieves.
Contact my wife and children.”
"You have indeed suffered!"
Yuan Tan couldn't help but sigh.
In fact, Liu Bei was also in trouble.
It is indeed very troublesome to escape with a small family.
But if he really wants to take him away, the problem is not too big. The key is that the general Zhao Yun, whom he relies on very much, is unwilling to defect to Yuan Shao.
The reason... Zhao Yun's old master was Gongsun Zan, and Gongsun Zan died at the hands of Yuan Shao.
Zhao Yun is a very loyal person, or he has a clear sense of grudges and grudges.
He was willing to join Liu Bei, but was unwilling to serve Yuan Shao. Liu Bei was quite helpless about this... It happened that Jian Yong was ill and was not suitable for the bumpy journey of long distances. So Liu Bei asked Mi Zhu to stay and take care of Jian Yong, and
Lead Zhao Yun to escort his family and hide first.
In Liu Bei's view, Cao Cao was no match for Yuan Shao.
Sooner or later, he will come back again, and then he will bring Zhao Yun and others back.
Therefore, after breaking out of Ruyin, Liu Bei asked Mi Zhu and Zhao Yun to go south across the Huai River. He led his troops in a circuitous route of thousands of miles, on the one hand, to escape to Qingzhou, and on the other hand, to cover Zhao Yun, Mi Zhu and others.
Thoughts on crossing the Huai River safely...
————————————————————————
The war has calmed down for the time being.
After recapturing Runan, Runan quickly entered orbit.
No matter how many people gnashed their teeth and cursed Mr. Cao, for the people of Runan, the arrival of Mr. Cao gave them hope.
A large amount of grain and grass was imported into various towns in Runan through Qiao County, which greatly alleviated the upcoming famine.
For the people of Runan, after Liu Bei arrived, he did two things: he turned the bandits into official soldiers; and then he recruited troops on a large scale.
Drought in Runan?
Liu Bei had no time and no ability to care.
But now, the imperial court has sent grain and grass, making the people of Runan cheer.
Liu Bei did a great thing in Runan, which was to bring together the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, bandits and bandits, so that Cao Cao didn't have to spend too much effort to eliminate them, and he even made Runan return without any effort.
Calm down. Later, Cao Cao ordered Li Tong, the Marquis of Jiangong and Yang'an Commandery, to be the governor of Runan to appease Runan. Li Tong was a native of Jingzhou, a young knight-errant, and famous in Jiang Ru. Historically, he was also a general of Cao Wei. However,
, Cao Peng was not very familiar with Li Tong, and had not even met. For him, the only good news was that his eldest brother Wei Yan would come to Xudu. It is said that this time Wei Yan captured Langling and established a
No small feat.
Cao Zhen said that Cao Cao wanted to appoint Wei Yan as the captain of the gangsters.
The reason is that he killed the Runan thief Wu Ba during the battle to pacify Runan.
However, I am afraid that Wei Yan will have to wait a while before he can come over. He still has some things to hand over, and it is expected that he will not be able to arrive in Xudu until winter.
"Ah Fu, Lao Liu will be back in two days."
"oh?"
"Let's go up high."
Cao Peng was startled and looked at Cao Zhen in surprise.
"In a few days, it will be Chongjiu!"
Chongjiu, also known as Double Ninth Festival.
If Cao Zhen hadn't reminded him, Cao Peng would have almost forgotten.
After the Yidaizhao case was settled, Cao Peng was busy with official duties.
He is the Lieutenant Commander of the Northern Army, supervising the fifth battalion of the Northern Army. The previous supervision was to deceive others, but this time the supervision was indeed real.
The workload is naturally much greater than before.
In previous lives, many folk festivals were forgotten by the Chinese people.
The Double Ninth Festival is the time to climb high and admire chrysanthemums. Therefore, on this day, there is also a saying of "Chrysanthemum Festival", which is valued by people of the time...
Thinking about it, it has indeed been a long time since I was reunited with my brothers.
This time Cao Zun returned from Chang'an to report on his work, which was a good opportunity. Unfortunately, Wang Mai was not here, and Zhu Zan...
"Okay, let's go together then."
Cao Peng thought for a while and nodded in agreement.
