There was a rapid sound of horse hoofbeats, but it was Cheng Yaojin who hurriedly brought two thousand soldiers and horses to see Yuan Ke.
"My lord, I have a mission!"
He had just been resting, so he came in a hurry.
"Stop talking nonsense and immediately lead people to block the city gate and search for Cao Cao, the Cavalry Commander."
Yuan Ke said sharply.
He was quite angry at this time. The "Eight Hundred Miles Urgent Document" just rewarded by the system mentioned that tonight the emperor sent someone to give Cao Cao the secret edict to attack him, and asked Cao Cao to call on all the princes to attack him.
"promise!"
Cheng Yaojin immediately asked someone to pass on the order.
It's too late.
At the east city gate, Cao Cao met Xiao Guizi. After taking the edict from the other party, he immediately rode over.
He knew that as long as Yuan Ke reacted, he would be beyond redemption.
"Hurry up and open the city gate. I am going to Luoyang on business under the orders of Da Sima."
After that, he took the forged warrant from his arms and threw it to the soldiers guarding the city.
The soldier opened the warrant and found the Taiwei's seal printed on it, and began to hesitate.
"Why does this seal of yours belong to the Taiwei?"
asked the soldier in charge of the guard.
"Da Sima has just taken office and does not have his own seal yet. For this reason, the seal of the Taiwei is used. Please open the city gate quickly and don't delay Da Sima's mission. Otherwise, you will be in trouble."
Cao Cao shouted sharply.
"Okay, Sir, calm down, we will open the city gate immediately."
After that, the soldiers at the east city gate let him go.
When Cheng Yaojin came with his troops, he found that Cao Cao had already left the city.
"Damn it!"
Next, he immediately sent people out of the city to arrest Cao Cao in three directions. At the same time, he personally came to find Yuan Ke to restore his life.
"Enter the palace!"
Yuan Ke heard that Cao Cao had run away.
bad mood.
He couldn't catch Cao Cao, but he wouldn't let go of the other participants, for example, Xiao Guizi, the emperor's close servant.
In the evening, after Xiao Guizi returned to the palace, she found an excuse to cancel her leave and return to the palace. The guards did not think much about it, which was quite derelict in their duties.
"Your Majesty, the matter is settled."
"That secret edict was handed over to Cao Cao."
"He should have left Chang'an."
Xiao Guizi returned to Liu Xie.
"Okay, it's all up to you."
Liu Xie said.
"Your Majesty, if Yuan Ke discovers the truth, how will we deal with it? That secret edict bears your emperor's seal after all."
Xiao Guizi asked.
"Don't be afraid. Even if it is discovered that I did it, Yuan Ke will not dare to do anything to me for the time being. He is still in his infancy and has not yet reached the stage of killing the emperor and becoming self-reliant. The most he can do is beat me and reprimand me."
"For the sake of the rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty, I can bear all these hardships."
Liu Xie gritted his teeth and said.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Just as the two of them were talking, Yuan Ke came in with his troops.
Many soldiers knocked open the palace door, and then rushed in. The leader was the newly named [Da Sima] Yuan Ke. Behind him, Lan Yu also came.
"Your Majesty, what a secret way to trick Chen Cang, I am ashamed of myself."
"It's just that Cao Cao left with a secret edict, what will you do?"
"Who will save you?"
Yuan Ke sneered.
"Yuan Aiqing, I don't understand what you mean? I'm resting tonight."
Liu Xie began to pretend to be confused and pretend to be ignorant.
"Really? Lan Yu, who is taking leave of absence tonight?"
Yuan Ke asked.
At this time, Lan Yu understood that due to his carelessness, he missed something important tonight, and was filled with fear.
Upon hearing Yuan Ke's words, he immediately replied tremblingly: "Yes, he is the emperor's personal attendant. He took leave of absence and left the palace. He just came back."
He flopped onto his knees.
"Lord, I have neglected my duty tonight. Please kill me."
He took the initiative to admit his mistake.
"Come here, drag down Xiao Guizi and all the maids and eunuchs around His Majesty, and kill them all. From now on, there will no longer be maids and eunuchs in Changle Palace. You just need to give His Majesty some food on time."
"Understand?"
Yuan Ke will not kill the emperor for the time being.
[Hold the emperor to command the princes]
Emperor Liu Xie is a trump card and has uses.
However, not killing him does not mean that there is no way to deal with Liu Xie, a yellow-haired boy.
The emperor is just an ordinary person wearing the cloak of the emperor. Once the imperial power cannot protect him, he is nothing but a human being.
"promise!"
Afterwards, Cheng Yaojin led his soldiers to kill all the maids and eunuchs in the palace.
Hundreds more heads fell to the ground, staining the palace with blood. As a result, Liu Xie lost his only eyes and ears in the palace.
"Anyone who is my enemy, Yuan Ke, will only die."
Yuan Ke looked at Liu Xie sadly.
What a bullshit emperor, he is nothing in his eyes. After that, he ordered Lan Yu: "Go and vacate the imperial library. From now on, I will assist the emperor in handling political affairs in the imperial library."
"promise!"
After hearing this, Lan Yu immediately went to do something.
Since ancient times, every struggle for power has been accompanied by sacrifice and killing.
"Yuan Ke, what are you going to do? Stay overnight in the palace? You, you are so perverse and treasonous, aren't you afraid that everyone in the world will turn against you?"
Liu Xie said loudly.
"Your Majesty, you have issued the edict to attack me. Do you think I, Yuan Ke, need to be afraid of anything now? I will defeat all the princes and make you completely despair."
"The Han Dynasty is exhausted."
Yuan Ke remained unmoved.
He wanted to teach Liu Xie a lesson.
After that, he put Liu Xie under house arrest in the palace and refused to allow him to come in and out freely.
As for him, he came to the imperial study room.
"Go and summon Jia Xu, Li Ru, Liu Wenjing, and Changsun Wuji."
The imperial edict handed over to Cao Cao by the emperor was of great importance, and he had to plan ahead to see how to break the situation.
At this time, he had the illusion that after he killed Dong Zhuo, the plot originally attributed to Dong Zhuo befell him.
According to historical records, Dong Zhuo was in chaos. After Cao Cao failed to offer his sword to assassinate Dong, he returned to his hometown and raised an army. He openly announced a crusade against Dong Zhuo and conspired with Sheji. Yuan Shao, the governor of Bohai, was the first to stand up and respond. After that, Gongsun Zan, Sun Jian, Wang Kuang, Qiao Mao and other sixteen princes gathered at Suizao, and they elected Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance to attack Dong Zhuo and revive the Han Dynasty.
clatter!
clatter!
clatter!
Sitting on the dragon chair representing the imperial power, Yuan Ke's face was as deep as water, but he was not panicked. He was not afraid of anyone in the battle.
He has unparalleled military power and elite soldiers and generals, and is not afraid of the crusade of the Kwantung princes.
However, there is one thing he has to consider, and that is Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu. One of them is his uncle and the other is his father. I don't know how they will choose?
He did not want to see roommates fighting against each other, but if Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu came to attack him for their own interests, he would not be polite to them.
Half an hour later, Changsun Wuji and others arrived.
They had just heard on the road that the emperor secretly sent someone to deliver the imperial edict to Cao Cao and that Cao Cao fled Chang'an, and they understood the seriousness of the problem.
"Meet Da Sima!"
"They're all here."
"Each of us find a chair to sit on."
Yuan Ke said.
"promise!"
After hearing this, Changsun Wuji sat down respectively.
"You have all heard, right? Cao Cao left Chang'an with the emperor's imperial edict. I understand that all the princes in the world will come to attack us soon. For this reason, I must strike first. I don't know if you can do it. A good strategy to defend against the enemy?"
Yuan Ke asked.
"Da Sima, for the current plan, we can only take the initiative to attack Luoyang first, and then guard Hulao Pass to block the westward advance of the princes' armies."
"Hulao Pass is a dangerous place. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If you station tens of thousands of troops and guard it with a strong general, you can trap all the princes outside Hulao Pass and prevent them from advancing. After a year and a half, the princes will run out of food and supplies. , it can be easily broken."
Changsun Wuji raised his hands and said.
"good!"
"This plan is very clever, and it coincides with my idea."
"Chen Qingzhi and Changsun Wuji led an army of 50,000 men to garrison Hulao Pass, remembering that they would not be able to escape and put defense first, while Yu Qian and Li Ru led an army of 30,000 men to guard Luoyang, first to appease the people of Luoyang, and secondly to , rebuild Luoyang, and the three of them will support Hulao Pass at any time."
Yuan Ke said softly.
"promise!"
Changsun Wuji and Li Ru cupped their hands and said.
"Lanyu and Liu Wenjing led 30,000 troops to station troops in Suzhou to prevent Ma Teng and Qiang Rong from causing rebellion in Liangzhou."
"As for this general, I will personally go to Bingzhou."
As a veteran, Yuan Ke understood that Han Sui, the assassin of Bingzhou, and Ma Teng, the governor of Xiliang, were not economical. At this time, the two of them had not become brothers with different surnames, nor had they started a rebellion.
However, he planned to strike first to gain strength. If the Qin Dynasty wiped out the six kingdoms, the land of the Three Qin Dynasties must be stabilized. For this reason, before dealing with the various princes in Guandong, he would lead his army to resolve the hidden dangers in the rear.
"Bingzhou assassinated Han Sui?"
