Chapter 272
Chapter 272
To everyone's surprise, just one night, Cao Cao, who had always been dominant in the court, Cao Cao, the one who coerced the emperor to make the princes, would take the initiative to resign from the post of prime minister and leave the court.It's as if you have prepared everything, such as protective clothing, masks, gloves, sprays, nets, etc., to remove a hornet's nest, and the hornet's nest was removed by itself the next day.Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty is now in this state of mind, obviously doing everything to deal with Cao Cao, unexpectedly Cao Cao would ask to leave on his own initiative.All of this came too suddenly. Faced with this situation, Liu Xie could say that he was throwing a hot potato, and he was ready to play immediately, and even arranged everything for Cao Cao.
In fact, no one knows what it is like, except for Ma Chao and Lu Bu. Cao Cao must have kept the secret letter that appeared suddenly, but it was such a letter that Ling Hao and Zhao Yun had just returned to Xiliang. It didn't take long before it was delivered to my hand by chance.Regardless of knowing whether the opponent is an enemy or a friend, just relying on this thin piece of white paper can pull Cao Cao down in an instant.Sure enough, Cao Cao chose the first option and voluntarily quit. In Ma Chao’s eyes, he was dead. Cao Cao should know that he would not let him go. It's just that the only thing that needs some effort is to intercept the opponent's team before Cao Cao goes to the south, so as not to let the tiger go back to the mountain.
"There are still most of the border areas that have not been recovered. If Cao Cao arrives at the border, Liu Bei will be the first to threaten." Lu Bu looked at the letter lying quietly in the wooden box. After destroying all the letters, what is Cao Cao's mood now?But these are not important. "When will he leave and when will I leave? I thought that the Xiahou clan would follow Cao Cao to leave, but I never thought that I would choose to stay in the court."Ma Chao closed the wooden box, then picked up the swallow knife on the table and inserted it into his waist, and finally straightened his clothes. "Maybe it's to stay and continue to inquire about information." Lu Bu didn't care.
"Cao Cao is also your enemy, why don't you go with us this time?" Seeing Ma Chao's question, Lu Bu seemed not interested, "I did all this just to fulfill Zixuan's wish. As for Cao Cao, I think you hate him. It’s right that he’s deeper than me, he only has one life, it’s not enough for you and me to kill him twice. Besides, the imperial court can’t live without people.”Ma Chao was silent, and nodded for a while, "How is Zixuan?", "Zhuge Liang has already taken people there, and Zhao Yun, don't worry." There was nothing to worry about, Ma Chao took the chiseled golden gun, The red tassel on the tip of the gun fell to the ground. Lu Bu watched Ma Chao go out and got up too. He wanted to remind Ma Chao not to leave a fish that slipped through the net, but after thinking about it, it seemed that there was no need to remind him.At that time, Ma Chao's family died tragically at the hands of Cao Cao. New and old hatreds, like wine, accumulated over time, and finally had the opportunity to kill Cao Cao. Ma Chao would never show mercy.My task is to find a way to eradicate the Xiahou family and the remaining party. Without Cao Cao, the weak enemy will not be able to cause much trouble. However, for Ling Hao's sake, he may consider keeping Xiahou There is still a way.
Cao Cao and his ilk naturally left with Cao Cao, and the rest were either unknown or had no intention of continuing to follow Cao Cao. However, Xia Houyuan, who was Cao Cao's confidant, chose to stay in the capital, even though the court did not agree. Possibly again.As soon as Ma Chao came out of the palace, he planned to send Xiliang's elite soldiers to follow him to intercept Cao Cao, but he didn't want to bump into Sima Yi at the door, so he stopped subconsciously.Sima Yi didn't seem to see him, he was chatting with a gray-clothed man in front of him, the expression on his face could be said to be ugly, it took a long while before he saw the man turn around, and when he turned around, he happened to meet himself face to face.Sima Yi immediately put away the emotion on his face, and changed to his usual expression, "Where is General Hussar going?". "Why are you here?" Ma Chao frowned. "I did not choose to go to the south with Prime Minister Cao, so there is no need for Hussar General to be so nervous." Sima Yi smiled.Sure enough... Cao Cao couldn't sit still and rush to the south in the morning?So he must set off immediately, once Cao Cao is allowed to enter the country, it will be too late.
Watching Ma Chao leave in a hurry, Sima Yi's expression immediately became deep and unpredictable. "Send this trustee to Ma Chao. If you reveal your identity, you know what will happen." The man in gray took the letter and nodded to show that he knew it, and immediately parted ways.
Cao Cao's actions shocked everyone, until the night before, there was still nothing unusual, and this kind of thing happened suddenly on the second day. While the court was shocked, Cao Pi felt very anxious for some reason, but Cao Cao didn't say a word along the way. Did not say.Although the plan has been made, judging by Cao Cao's appearance now, there is really something to hide from him... Everyone is silent, and the atmosphere is very depressed. "Father, why did you choose to go through Liu Bei's territory? Wouldn't it be more troublesome?", "We don't go in, we just take a detour. They never imagined that we would choose this way. After all, the only way to avoid that person's eyeliner ", Cao Cao, who had no soldiers and horses, lost his power-holding posture, and appeared to be more cautious at this time.Cao Pi was a little worried, "Don't worry, Duli has ordered Gongming and Zhongda to pay close attention to the movements of Lu and Ma. As for Xiahou Shang, you have Miaocai to watch." Cao Cao's expression became ugly when he mentioned Xiahoushang.
It's not that Cao Pi doesn't believe in Xiahoushang, but it's already at this point, even if he defends Xiahoushang, it's useless. "Father, do you want to leave Xiangyang first?", "No, go to Hanzhong first.", Hanzhong?It would be too risky for Cao Cao to do so...
Obviously, the news from the imperial court had not reached Ling Hao, but even if he did not know about the turmoil in the imperial court, Ling Hao planned to leave Xiliang as soon as possible.While he was still in a dilemma about Han Zimo, he couldn't help being a little surprised by the arrival of Zhuge Liang who should be in the capital at this time.The news of Cao Cao's abdication brought by Zhuge Liang really made Ling Hao stunned for a long time before he realized, "How is this possible... How could Cao Cao abdicate on his own initiative? What happened?" Ling Hao asked two consecutive questions as if he was talking to himself. Soliloquy.Zhuge Liang was not clear about the specific situation. If he wanted to know the details, he might have to ask Lu Bu or Ma Chao. After all, he rushed back to Xiliang as soon as he received the news. "Even if this is the case, you can't take it lightly. Cao Cao has long wanted to establish his own family. Maybe he left the court this time because he wanted to unite with his subordinates and the rebels in the southern border to rebel directly. You are not safe outside. It is better to go back earlier. You guys What abnormalities can you find these days after you come back?" Zhuge Liang looked at Zhao Yun.
"There is nothing unusual. After all, Cao Cao's main concern is Lu Bu. The inexplicable attack on the former Fan Zixuan has left Cao Cao too busy to take care of himself. This time, he should not act rashly again." Zhao Yun looked at Ling Hao, Finally sighed, "I'm glad that Lu Bu and Ma Chao didn't appear to be too close to Zixuan in the court." Zhuge Liang was noncommittal, "In this case, let's leave earlier, the emperor seems to be troubled by this matter.", Hearing this sentence, Ling Hao remembered that Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty seemed to be particularly fond of Zhuge Liang before, and he wanted to get Zhuge Liang to his side. Now that Cao Cao voluntarily withdrew, this aspect was empty——Ling Hao was just about to speak to persuade Zhuge Liang to enter the court. A servant sent word that Han Zimo was looking for him. "I'll go to Big Brother's place first." Ling Hao said apologetically, Zhuge Liangliang nodded, watching Ling Hao go out with his servants, put down the teacup in his hand, the incident happened too suddenly, Lu Bu told him the news in advance At the time, I hadn’t thought about it, but now Cao Cao’s presence in the court is really gone. There are good things and bad things. What kind of plan is Cao Cao leaving the court? .
"Once Cao Cao leaves the court, the lord should go back to the fief?" Zhao Yun frowned, Zhuge Liang was a little stunned, but he didn't think of this question.Indeed, there was Lu Bu in the imperial court, and now that Liu Bei had both fame and wealth, he naturally didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the emperor and Lu Bu, and as Liu Bei's subordinates, they would logically follow Liu Bei back to Hanzhong.Now it can no longer be regarded as a troubled time. With the unification of the Han Dynasty, there will naturally be much fewer wars and separatist regimes in the future, not to mention that Jiangdong also voluntarily returned to the Han Dynasty. "Do you want to be an official in the court?" Zhuge Liang said indifferently, Zhao Yun just smiled, "Does the military commander want to return to Hanzhong to do nothing? Or is the military commander willing to leave Zixuan among Lu Bu and others?". "Of course I'm not reconciled." Zhuge Liang's tone was still flat, but the depth between his brows and eyes became more meaningful.
