Sanguo: Banzi Shengtian, you call him Yanque?

Chapter 216 Sir, who do you think wants to assassinate the truth!

Ye Fan nodded humbly, but he was not as optimistic as Cao Cao.

"Prime Minister, although we have a plan, there will definitely be many changes in the land of Xichuan."

"Although Liu Zhang is mediocre, his subordinates such as Fazheng and Zhang Ren are very capable people. If you want to successfully seize Xichuan, you need to guard against them."

Cao Cao was full of amazement and said with emotion: "I didn't expect that Sir knows so much about Xichuan and the people under Liu Zhang's command. Could it be that he was considering the land of Xichuan before?"

Ye Fan admitted frankly: "Since I know the Prime Minister's heart, I will prepare in advance, so I will pay more attention to Xichuan's news."

Cao Cao was in a good mood. It was really relaxing to have such a counselor by his side.

"Wonderful, sir, he is like a living Zhang Liang. It is a great blessing for me, Cao Cao, to have him as my assistant!"

"After I return this time, I will definitely recommend you to Your Majesty and introduce him to everyone!"

……

Cao Cao was in a good mood on the road, but Xun Yu was worried.

Because the spies reported that there were assassins hiding in the city, obviously trying to harm Cao Cao!

When he first got the news, Xun Yu was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat. If he was really succeeded by an assassin, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Is the news accurate?"

The spy nodded heavily and said: "It's absolutely true, they want to assassinate Prime Minister Cao when he returns!"

Xun Yu's heart trembled. Xuchang is Cao Cao's base camp. When he returns here, he will definitely relax his vigilance. The assassin chose this time to take action, and his intentions are really vicious.

And he had already vaguely guessed who wanted to attack Cao Cao.

Soon, Xun Yu calmed down. Before Cao Cao left, he gave Xun Yu great power. Of course, he could not just sit back and watch such a thing happen.

"Don't make this matter public. Investigate it secretly. We must find out the whereabouts of the killers. If you dare to commit murder in the city, you must be a soldier raised by others. Such people are not afraid of death."

"So everything must be done secretly without anyone noticing."

"Also, send someone to inform the Prime Minister of this matter so that the Prime Minister can be prepared."

On the way, Cao Cao and Ye Fan were still riding in the same carriage. Even after discussing the matter in Xichuan, Cao Cao was reluctant to let Ye Fan leave. There were always countless topics to talk about.

But this time Ye Fan was not alone, but brought Sun Shangxiang with him.

Cao Cao was very pleased to see this scene. It seemed that Ye Fan had captured Sun Shangxiang, but he didn't know that the relationship between the two was still very pure.

In order not to delay Ye Fan's good deeds, Cao Cao let Ye Fan return to his carriage and have a chance to be alone with Sun Shangxiang.

While Cao Cao was relaxing with his eyes closed, Cheng Yu rode up to the carriage.

"Prime Minister, there is news from Xuchang."

Cao Cao immediately frowned and asked, "What can happen to Xuchang?"

"Xun Yu sent someone to send news that there is an assassin lurking in the city and wants to kill the prime minister. He is investigating, but he also asks the prime minister to pay more attention."

Cheng Yuhui reports.

After hearing the news, Cao Cao was stunned for a moment. It was unbearable that someone wanted to kill him in his base camp.

Moreover, Xuchang is his base camp. If such hidden dangers are not resolved, he will not be able to sleep peacefully in the future.

This matter was of great importance, and Cao Cao could not make an easy decision, so he asked people to invite Ye Fan back.

As soon as they met, Cao Cao told everything, without any evasion.

"Sir, who do you think wants to assassinate me?"

Ye Fan looked indifferent and said slowly: "Everything is possible. The Prime Minister is now in a high position and holds great power. It would be abnormal if no one wants to deal with the Prime Minister." "But if you want to know who it is, It depends on who will benefit the most after successfully assassinating the Prime Minister!"

Cao Cao frowned, thinking deeply, and many candidates suddenly flashed in his mind.

Now that the army is at its peak, Jiangdong is already within his grasp. After it is pacified, there will be no hidden dangers in the rear, and more than half of the land of the Han Dynasty is under his control.

Under such circumstances, it is indeed easy to make people jealous.

And what he suspected was his sons!

"Except for Chong'er, no one else can worry!"

In Cao Cao's heart, Cao Chong was his favorite, so he had no doubts at all, but he was hesitant about his other sons.

Cao Pi was thoughtful, ambitious, and forbearing just like him.

Cao Zhi was wild and uninhibited by nature and loved literature, but who knows if he was just pretending?

Cao Zhang likes to be a general, but he is most restless.

These three sons gave him the most headaches.

"If it's not my son, it's Liu Xie!"

Cao Cao muttered, and a cold light suddenly flashed in his eyes. Liu Xie's option was the most important in his heart.

Although his sons are restless, they don't seem to have sent anyone to assassinate him. After all, he is still the backbone of Cao's army.

And if the emperor succeeds in assassinating himself, he will be the one who benefits the most.

At that time, the emperor can take advantage of the situation to take power and restore the glory of the emperor. This is what the emperor dreams of.

As the person who kept the emperor in captivity, Cao Cao sent people to guard the emperor. Naturally, he knew that although the emperor seemed cowardly, he also had ambitions, but Cao Cao had always suppressed them.

If one day there is no longer his suppression, the emperor will show his edge!

For a moment, Cao Cao felt murderous intention in his heart, but soon fell silent again. After all, such things can only be thought about in his heart.

Ye Fan on the side seemed to feel the killing intent emanating from Cao Cao, and immediately looked up and looked at Cao Cao.

Cao Cao's eyes were deep, but he didn't speak again.

……

In Xuchang City, Xun Yu came to Cao Pi's house, and Cao Pi came to greet him very respectfully.

Cao Pi has always been very respectful to those whom Cao Cao valued.

"Master, the Prime Minister will return in a few days. When the time comes, Master must not go to the city gate to greet him."

Cao Pi was stunned for a moment and asked quickly: "Sir, why is this?"

He had even thought about how to express himself when welcoming him, so why didn't he let him be welcomed?

Xun Yu sighed helplessly and told about the assassin.

"There are assassins who want to harm the Prime Minister. I have already sent someone to notify the Prime Minister. I believe the Prime Minister will be prepared. But these assassins are dead soldiers. It would be bad if they harm the Young Master."

Cao Pi suddenly frowned, but he was not thinking about who wanted to assassinate Cao Cao, but how he should use this matter.

"Thank you sir for informing me."

Xun Yu nodded and said: "Since the notice has been received, I will leave. As for the other young masters, please take the trouble to notify me."

"I am secretly investigating the assassins, so I don't have enough manpower to notify them one by one."
