Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 296
In the early morning, in Xuchang City, the mansion of the General Che Qi.

"Why did the general get up so early?" Dong Cheng got up groggyly, shaking his dizzy head, trying to get up with his weak body, the slender and white pink arms were wrapped around his arms, soft Her tender touch and that charming and affectionate voice lingered in my ears, even though I couldn't remember how many times I asked for it last night, it still gave Dong Cheng the urge to knock her down and ravage her immediately.

After a night of cloud and rain, Dong Cheng's complexion was a little gloomy, but Zou Shi seemed to have become a little more beautiful today. Dong Cheng just took a look, and felt that he couldn't control himself and didn't want to get out of bed today.

The remaining rationality and slightly numb lower back allowed Dong Cheng to grasp himself, resist the temptation, shook his head with absolute determination, got up with a righteous face and said: "Madam, sleep more , I still have some important things to do today, the general will definitely accompany Madam for a few days after the big things are done!"

Last night, he entered the palace overnight to obtain the edict from the emperor, and he should be able to get things done today, but the trampled self-esteem cannot be made up for by letting go!

The attitude of Cao Cao's former subordinates calmed his swollen heart a lot, and at the same time he saw many problems clearly. In Xuchang City, even without Cao Cao, the emperor cannot immediately make the decision. The power has not been transferred to their hands. Just come back.

So he went into the palace overnight to look for Liu Xie, just to discuss with the emperor about seizing power. Lv Bu cannot retreat, they need to bring Lv Bu into the city, only he can suppress these old troops of Cao army, otherwise they will become puppets of the old troops of Cao army.

Of course, Lu Bu's army cannot enter the city, otherwise, although Cao Cao's old troops have been eliminated, Lu Bu may not have good intentions. If he is to be used, he must be guarded against him, otherwise the current Lu Bu may be more dangerous than these old Cao Cao troops.

"The general has to come back soon, I'm a little scared to stay here alone, Madam doesn't like me?" Zou followed suit, let the silk slip, looked at Dong Cheng and said pitifully.

"No." Dong Cheng swallowed his saliva, took a deep breath and said, "Madam, don't worry, no one dares to bully Madam in this mansion."

After finishing speaking, she put on her clothes and left in a hurry amidst Zou Shijiao's laughter.

After going out, Dong Cheng took his guards and went all the way to the south gate of the city where Cao Peng was located. In one night, Cao Peng tried various methods to destroy this group of troops, but Wei Yan hid in the cave of the city gate. , If Cao Jun entered the Wengcheng, he would immediately rush up to fight like a hungry tiger, and immediately hide in the doorway after killing through. In the dark night, even if Cao Peng wanted to shoot ten thousand arrows, he was worried about hurting his own people.

At the same time, their strength also aroused Cao Peng's idea. Although the number of this team was small, its combat effectiveness was quite terrifying. Hundreds of people had died in this urn before and after. There is really no way to take these dozens of people. It feels like hitting mosquitoes with a catapult. All I can think of now is to wait for them to die of thirst, starve to death and be trapped here.

This feeling is really suffocating.

At the beginning of the morning sun, Cao Peng was thinking about how to deal with these people, but he saw a general coming over and said to Cao Peng: "General, Dong Cheng is here again!"

"What is he doing here? No see!" Cao Peng said impatiently.

"But he is holding the emperor's edict, if I don't see it..." the general frowned.

Emperor's edict?

A look of disdain flashed across Cao Peng's face, and he snorted coldly, "So what? No see!"

He could probably guess why Dong Cheng came here, but it was precisely because he knew that he felt that it was outrageous. He didn't believe that Dong Cheng would know how unreliable this matter was, but just to fight with himself, Xu Chang's safety was at stake. , what does this person think?

Or has an ulterior deal been reached with Lu Bu?

The general trapped in the Wengcheng, leading dozens of people, can force him to do nothing. No matter his combat power or dispatch, he is definitely a big fish. If he releases people at this time, isn't it tantamount to letting the tiger go back to the mountain?

Damn it, there's something in the head.

Dong Cheng didn't expect that he came early in the morning full of confidence, but what he got was a big closed door. Even Cao Peng didn't see him, and he wanted to force his way in, but when he saw a soldier on the tower who was eyeing tigers, Dong Cheng Cheng could only suppress this breath temporarily.

He didn't expect that even if he got the emperor's edict, these old generals of the Cao army would not be able to stay dormant, which further strengthened his idea of ​​bringing Lu Bu into the court to suppress these rebellious generals.

Leaving the city wall, Dong Cheng thought about how to solve this matter.Certainly not looking for Xun Yu, Xun Yu will only persuade His Majesty to give up this plan. The two sides have different demands and are not on the same path.

In the end, Dong Cheng brought people to the barracks. To deal with generals, it is best to find some generals to deal with them. Celebrities and so on may not be of much use in front of these vulgar warriors.

"General Dong?" Wang Zhong, who was guarding the barracks, looked at Dong Cheng, frowned and said, "Now that all the battalions are patrolling everywhere, what's the general's business here?"

"I'm here to find the general." Dong Cheng smiled.Naturally, Wang Zhong is also a general of Cao Cao's army, but not everyone will be like this. Cao Peng is generally ignorant of current affairs, and Dong Cheng thinks that Wang Zhong is a person who understands current affairs.

"Looking for me?" Wang Zhong looked at Dong Cheng puzzled.

Smiling, he put away the emperor's edict in front of Wang Zhong, looked at Wang Zhong and said, "General Wang, the news of Duke Cao's death must have been known."

Wang Zhong nodded silently, but did not answer, he was a little uncertain about Dong Cheng's purpose here.

"I know that General Wang is a loyal man, but Cao Gong is dead, so I can't accompany him to die. I wonder if General Wang has thought about it?" Dong Cheng asked with a smile.

"In the future?" Wang Zhong frowned and looked at Dong Cheng: "What do you mean by the general?"

"Although Your Majesty is heartbroken over Duke Cao's death, Xuchang is now in chaos. The soldiers are fighting on their own and don't listen to orders. Naturally, they have to clean up and reorganize. Otherwise, the soldiers in Xuchang city don't know the generals, and the generals don't know the soldiers. If things go on like this, it will be the root of chaos. !
His Majesty wants to select a few capable and loyal generals from among the generals to entrust them with important tasks!And I think the general is the loyal minister of the Han Dynasty!It is Te who came to see the general. "

Wang Zhong understood, looked at Dong Cheng and said with a smile: "The last general is naturally willing to serve His Majesty!"

There is nothing to be unwilling about this, as Dong Cheng said, Cao Cao is dead, no matter how powerful he was in his lifetime, but now that he is dead, everything will disappear, and the prestige of his life will also disappear with his death. Consider it later.

In this chaotic world where there are many princes, it may not be correct to go to the emperor, but it is not a big deal to vote first, if it is not right, then change the family.

"Wait a moment, general, I'll go ask for an imperial edict!" Dong Cheng nodded in satisfaction. With Wang Zhong, he will have some military power, but this is not enough. There are tens of thousands of troops in Xuchang City, which is not enough. , and Wang Zhong may not be sincere, he must find a way to use Lu Bu to get more military power in his hands, Wang Zhong is only the first step, and it is time to find Lu Bu next.

He rushed all the way to the palace, and briefly explained the situation to Liu Xie. Cao Cao's old army was rebellious, and he succeeded in alienating Wang Zhong. To suppress these rebellious old Cao army troops, a stronger army is necessary. Camp in.

This powerful army is naturally Lu Bu's subordinate, but this army cannot come in completely, otherwise it may directly swallow the general power. It is best to form a balance between the two sides, and then they can use the power in their hands. Like Wang Zhong, he took advantage of the chaos to win over a group of generals loyal to the Han Dynasty. At that time, the power in Xuchang would be balanced. With enough military power in his hands, he would keep Lu Bu in the court and send someone to take over Xuzhou. With the Central Plains and a strong army in hand, they can rise again and sweep the world.

Thinking of these, Dong Cheng became a little excited.

I got two edicts from the Son of Heaven, one was to promote Wang Zhong to the rank of Huben Zhonglang, and asked him to temporarily act as Cao Peng's garrison at the south gate, and the other was to let Lu Bu enter the court and be granted the title. He wanted to let Lu Bu enter the court Of course, it is also necessary to prevent Lu Bu from turning his face, so Lu Bu can't bring too many people in, and can only bring a hundred followers at most. That way, with Xu Chang's current strength, it is enough to suppress Lu Bu.

In addition, as long as Lu Bu enters the city, not only can he use Lu Bu to suppress these generals of the Cao army, but he can also dispatch the Xuzhou army outside the city in the name of Lu Bu!
There is so much more to do!
After receiving these two edicts, Dong Cheng bid farewell to Liu Xie, and immediately went to the barracks to ask Wang Zhong to take the edict to change defenses with Cao Peng. As soon as he changed defenses, he would naturally release dozens of trapped Xuzhou soldiers. He can also explain to Lu Bu, so that the next negotiation can be facilitated.

Wang Zhong didn't shirk it either. After seeing the edict, especially his own promotion edict, he immediately packed up his troops and followed Dong Cheng to the South City Gate Tower again.

When Cao Peng saw Wang Zhong leading his troops over, he felt bad, and asked with a frown, "What's the matter?"

"Come and garrison here with His Majesty's edict." Wang Zhongliang showed Cao Peng his own edict.

Hearing this, Cao Peng glanced at Dong Cheng at the side, and said coldly, "Do you know what you're doing?"

"The salary of eating the king, and the worries of the king, General Cao, the last general came here under the imperial edict, and I hope that General Cao will not embarrass the last general!" Wang Zhong saluted Cao Peng, but his tone was a little unkind!
"I hope the general will not regret it! Let's go!" Glancing at the soldiers behind Wang Zhong, Cao Peng finally suppressed the anger and dissatisfaction in his chest, turned around and left with his troops.

Cao Cao's former generals, now with Cao Cao's death, have begun to have people who have changed their minds, or they can't be said to have changed their minds. Now in Xuchang City, with Cao Chun and others leaving, few can convince the crowd, like Cao Cao Although Peng belonged to the Cao clan, he was also somewhat brave, but he did not have the charisma of Cao Ren and Cao Chun, so it was impossible to hold back the military power.

However, Xun Yu must be notified of this matter as soon as possible. I always feel that something big will happen to Dong Cheng if he continues to make trouble like this!
