Grassroots Overlord of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 442 Cao Mengde sent Chang'an

Although he did not personally direct the action of arresting the opponents, Cao Cao himself did not sleep all night. The next morning, when the first ray of sunshine came as promised, Sima Yi faced Cao Cao and began to report the results of yesterday's action.

Cao Cao believed that Sima Yi would be able to complete the task excellently. This was Sima Yi's beauty show, but he did not expect that Sima Yi would successfully complete the task in less than three hours. Cao Cao couldn't help comparing secretly: If he carried out this task by himself, it would take at least one day to complete it. The efficiency of Sima Yi's work is really amazing...

When Cao Cao listened to Sima Yi's concise report, Cao Cao finally knew how Sima Yi completed the task in such a short time: Sima Yi commanded thousands of generals to capture the enemies and gave priority to arrest the enemies with martial arts skills. In order to save the cost of the aftermath, such as putting the opponents in prison and interrogating them afterwards. , the current prison can't accommodate so many prisoners... Sima Yi took one step and ordered the soldiers to kill all the enemies, leaving only a few important figures, such as the father of the current queen, such as Dong An, the servant of Huangmen, the confidant of Emperor Xian, as a living mouth, so that Cao Cao could question Emperor Xian afterwards...

Cao Cao exclaimed in his heart: This Sima Yi looks polite, and his psychology is really hard, almost vicious! This is compared with what I said in those years, "I'd rather defeat the people of the world than let the people of the world betray me"!

In a word, the senior officials and generals who signed the clothes and edict were all ambush: the living people were in Cao's camp at this time, and the bodies of the dead were inspected by the coroner and buried in the earth pit. Of course, the bodies of Xiliang Ma Teng, his wife and several bodyguards were removed. Because they were burned by fire, they were not easy to identify.

Sima Yi, who is so clever and capable, could not imagine that when Ma Teng and his wife Yanfei were about to commit suicide, they were rescued from the sea of fire by Liu Wei, the leader of the evil spirit religion... At this time, Liu Wei personally sent Ma Teng and Yanfei in a coma to Huiji County thousands of miles away.

After listening to Sima Yi's report, Cao Cao said to Sima Yi with satisfaction, "Zhong Da, you did a good job! The result of the matter is almost perfect, which is beyond my imagination... Zhong Da, if you are not tired and tired, when we finish breakfast, you can accompany me to meet Emperor Xian."

Although he didn't sleep all night, he ran around and was busy like a spinning top, and Sima Yi was not tired. He responded respectfully, "Ow!"

After Cao Cao and Sima Yi had a simple breakfast happily, the two went to the palace to meet Emperor Xian under the protection of the Huwei Camp.

In the Jinluan Hall, Cao Cao took Sima Yi and worshipped Emperor Xian with hundreds of civil and military officials. Emperor Xian sat on the dragon chair and asked the civil and military officials in a calm tone, "Your love, why was the noise in the city so loud last night? Why didn't Taishi Fuwan participate in the early morning? Oh, Dr. Jiuqing is also missing four..."

The eyes of the civil and military officials turned to Cao Cao. Cao Cao calmly accepted the attention of the civil and military officials, and then he arched his hand to Emperor Xian and said, "Your Majesty, the noise in the city last night was sent by the king's order to the guards to arrest the traitors who intended to kill me and harm the court... Your Majesty, please look at the evidence of the secret alliance of the rebel group I have!"

While Cao Cao was talking, he handed over the clothes edict to the eunuch, and then the eunuch sent the clothes edict to the emperor. At this time, Emperor Xian was like being caught by the person concerned when a thief was stealing things, and his frightened body trembled! He also participated in the murder of Cao Cao. The few slogans at the beginning of the dress edict were written by himself...

Emperor Xian tried his best to keep calm and pretended to read the clothes and edicts seriously. At the same time, Cao Cao inspected the civil and military officials with a majestic face, and then he said excitedly, "Your Majesty, colleagues, I didn't expect that someone would form a private party and secretly plot against me... This really makes me feel cold! If I return to my hometown, the world can be unified and the former prosperity can be restored. At this time, I can resign from the title and give up the official position. Your Majesty, you know that since Liu Bei in Jingzhou and the Sun Group in Jiangdong formed an alliance and relied on the Yangtze River to fight against the king, this move shows the wolf ambition of Liu Bei and Sun Quan. Are they He will obey the order of the central court... If your majesty does not admit my speculation, please issue an edict to order Liu Bei and Sun Quan to come to Luoyang City and serve your majesty face to face..."

Cao Cao said this, and his eyes flashed. He deliberately paused and continued, "Your Majesty, even if I leave Luoyang City, Liu Bei and Sun Quan will not go to Luoyang City to serve your majesty face to face and solve your majesty's problems... If I don't completely eliminate the powerful local hegemony such as Liu Bei and Sun Quan, I will not withdraw from Luoyang City! However, there are some ancient and scheming scum who have been working against me and intend to kill me. Therefore, when I had the evidence that these traitors plotted to kill me, I ordered the guards to clean up these traitors in time... Your Majesty, is my behavior out of line?!"

In the face of Cao Cao's questioning, Emperor Xian, who was panicked, did not dare to respond at all. After nodding, he shook his head eagerly. Cao Cao looked at the panicked Emperor Xian, tried his best to restrain his anger, and said as gently as possible, "Your Majesty, it's not that I am bragging. If I abdicate and return to my hometown, the situation in the world will be more chaotic, and the people of Li will return to the deep difficulties... Your Majesty, do you remember when I saw Your situation..."

When Cao Cao mentioned this matter, Emperor Xian thought of those bitter cold days when he could not eat and clothes, and the kindness that Cao Cao rescued him from the Xiliang Legion... Emperor Xian showed guilt on his face and nodded to Cao Cao. After that, Emperor Xian could no longer control the overflow of emotions and cried in public.

Cao Cao Cao was happy when he saw Emperor Xian's voice, and he also said emotionally, "Your Majesty, my loyalty to you can be seen from the sun and the moon... As long as your majesty does not believe the remarks of those promiscuous ministers and thieves, I will be grateful... Your Majesty, after I suppress the forces of local independence, I will return to my hometown; please Let's understand the king's painstaking efforts..."

While Cao Cao spoke, he raised his hand to erase the tears from the corners of his eyes. Under Cao Cao's extremely sensational words, Emperor Xian had cried faintly, and some emotionally fragile officials and generals also began to cry bitterly.

Cao Cao and other Emperor Xian and the officials were almost emotionally vented. He bowed to Emperor and said, "Your Majesty, after I eliminate the thieves of the chaotic court, I will lead my troops to Chang'an City again to resist the invasion of Xiliang Ma Chao..."

Emperor Xian did not make a sound, but just nodded to Cao Cao. Then, at Cao Cao's instruction, the etiquette eunuchs read the names of the traitors and thieves recorded on the clothes edict... The civil and military officials present knew that most of these familiar names were killed by the praetorian guards last night, and those who survived could not see tomorrow's sun...

After successfully resolving the forces against him, Cao Cao led tens of thousands of troops to Chang'an City. In Chang'an City, Cao Cao has been there twice in the past 20 years. The second time it is related to the Xiliang Legion, and this time it is related to the Xiliang Legion! For the first time, Cao Cao was not the leader, and this time he presided over the war in person.

While Luoyang City fell into chaos overnight, the night of Jiangdong Jiankang City was also chaotic.

During the day, the wind is gentle and the sun is beautiful. After half a day of visiting the beautiful Xuanwu Lake, Tai Shici, Gao Shun and Surman rushed to Sun Quan's mansion to participate in the celebration.

Changshi Zhang Zhao was the last high-ranking official to arrive at the venue. Zhang Zhao is Sun Quan's father-in-law. Why did he come late? Because he was at home to comfort his daughter who went back to his mother's house. According to her daughter, Sun Quan hasn't touched her body for many days. It was the night before, Sun Quan suddenly went crazy and raped the maid Xiu'er-**. Xiuer is the favorite person of Sun Quan's childhood sweetheart. At that time, Xiuer did not have a strong resistance. After Sun Quan's hard entry into her paradise, Xiuer, who had been half pushing, suddenly resisted fiercely... Finally, Sun Quan relied on the man's strong body and grabbed Xiuer's throat while being violent! When Sun Quan finished venting, Xiuer also suffocated to death!

Such a scene made Zhang Zhao's daughter scared out of her mind and ran back to her mother's house the next day. When Zhang Zhao heard this secret, he suddenly wondered: Sun Quan, the changes before and after is too fast, right?! What kind of stimulation did Sun Quan get to become so unreasonable? What about the madness? How can you not even let go of your beloved woman and kill her cruelly? ......

Zhang Zhao has been guarding his daughter and appeasing her. After he felt that his daughter's panic had stabilized, he hurried to Sun Quan's mansion to participate in the celebration.

At the door of Sun Quan's mansion, there is naturally a lot of traffic. The people coming and going are like crucian carp crossing the river. The archway at the entrance of the mansion is decorated with lights. The lively atmosphere is more than the vegetable market, and the festive atmosphere is stronger than Sun Quan's wedding ceremony! Under the leadership of the etiquette officer, Zhang Zhao walked into the council hall.

The empty hall in the past is overcrowded today. Even if Zhang Zhao just looked at the place one meter in front of him, he still clearly felt the dissatisfied eyes of Sun Hao and Sun Quan. Zhang Zhao walked three meters away from the throne and met Sun Quan and Sun Hao. At this time, Sun Quan and Sun Hao knelt side by side on the main seat and shared a table.

Sun Quan just nodded slightly to Zhang Zhao, while Sun Hao waved his hand to Zhang Zhao and said, "Zhang Changshi, please take your seat quickly. I and everyone are waiting for you..."

When Zhang Zhao heard the words, he looked embarrassed and quickly walked to the chief of the civil servant and knelt down with the help of his attendants. Zhang Zhao quickly toured the crowd. He found that the civil servants were present to remove the missing Ma Yi and the seriously injured Zhuge Jin, and all the people who should come came; the military attache attended to remove Zhou Yu and Huang Gai, who died in the war, and the generals who should have arrived.
