In the dead of night, a large number of officers and soldiers suddenly appeared outside the Taiwei's mansion, and martial law was quickly imposed.
"How about it?"
"Shall we go up?" Xu Chu said in a low voice in the shadow not far from the gate of Taiwei's Mansion, holding two big axes.
"No need to use it!"
"My lord has said that our mission is to guard Taiwei's Mansion. We don't have to do anything deliberately. No matter what happens inside, we don't need to worry about it, let alone rush in. We just need to ensure that no one goes out of Taiwei's Mansion tonight.
."
"The real battlefield is in the palace. Our main purpose tonight is to rescue the emperor from the hands of the eunuchs such as Shi Changshi."
"Dian Wei will lead people to do these things." Cao Ren said solemnly next to Xu Chu.
"Father, Cao Cao is going to take action tonight!"
"He sent us a secret message. I made an appointment with him to cooperate with him. Why do you want to stop me?" On the other side of the Yuan Mansion, Yuan Shao was dressed in armor, followed by Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and San Bai in armor.
, heavily armed elites.
But before they could go out, they were stopped by Yuan Wei.
"Nonsense!"
"This kind of thing cannot be decided with a slap on the head. We have to take a long-term approach, understand?" Yuan Wei said.
"Father, are you confused?"
"Don't you know the importance of speed in war?"
"Cao Cao personally told me that Zhu Yuanzhang is dead at this moment. If we don't step in now, when Cao Cao rushes into the palace and takes control of the emperor, we won't even be able to drink a sip of soup." Yuan Shao said anxiously.
"Ah……!"
"I, the fourth and third prince of the Yuan family, no matter who is in power, must rely on me."
"Even the current Zhu Yuanzhang does not dare to really fall out with me, Mr. Yuan. There is no need for us to take risks with that common man Cao Cao. Do you understand?"
"What's more, I just got the news that this is Lord Taiwei's plan, just to make Cao Cao take the initiative to show his fox tail. Anyone who dares to act rashly tonight will be dead. I am trying to save you, you bastard."
"Is this...serious?" Yuan Shao looked confused.
"snort!"
"Don't you feel any difference in Luoyang City tonight?" Yuan Wei said.
"different?"
"Indeed, the sky is too dark tonight, so dark that there is no starlight. This is simply unbelievable!"
"Moreover, my innate magical powers have been suppressed."
"The celestial phenomena cannot be displayed!" On the other side, Xun Yu and Guo Jia, who were also discussing this topic, immediately felt the changes above Luoyang City.
And as top civil servants, they sensed it more clearly than Yuan Shao.
"Why is this happening?"
"This is the first time that my natural talent has been suppressed. Whose masterpiece is this?" The expression on Guo Jia's face was very ugly.
As civil servants, their most powerful thing is their innate magical powers. If they lose their innate abilities, their role in a war will be greatly reduced.
Originally, they had all decided to provide some assistance to Cao Cao in secret.
"Who else could it be!"
"Except for our Lord Taiwei, there is probably no one else with such means in Luoyang City!" Xun Yu said with a bitter smile.
"Bang...!" The moment Xun Yu finished speaking, the door of the small courtyard where the two of them were was pushed open with a bang.
Jiang Yu, who was dressed in military uniform, walked in quickly with his men. He looked at the two of them up and down, and said with a bright smile on his face: "I have admired you for a long time, you two."
"My lord is waiting for you two, please!"
Seeing Jiang Wei and the soldiers holding firearms behind him, Guo Jia couldn't help but feel their hearts sink.
They didn't expect that Zhu Yuanzhang knew their hiding place very well.
This is obviously preparing to catch them all in one fell swoop!
"Do you think that because our talents are limited, we will be captured without mercy?" Guo Jia's face was full of seriousness, and he slowly drew out the sword from his waist.
Although they are civil servants, they are not powerless.
"hehe."
"That's offending!"
After Jiang Wei said this, he waved his hand violently. A row of soldiers behind him quickly raised their rifles, pointed the black muzzles at Guo Jia and the two of them, and pulled the triggers without hesitation.
"Bang bang bang bang!"
A series of gunshots rang out, and both Guo Jia and Guo Jia were instantly covered with needles.
This is an anesthetic. It is the latest weapon developed by the Ming Academy of Sciences. It is the first time it has been used in actual combat tonight.
Now it seems that the effect is quite good.
"Take them away!" Jiang Wei couldn't help but grinned and waved his hand when he saw the appearance of the two of them.
Soon the two of them were quietly taken away from the small courtyard.
Even their clothes and daily necessities were helped to tidy up, and the traces left by just coming in were quickly cleaned up by Jin Yiwei.
A quarter of an hour later, the entire courtyard returned to calm again, as if Jiang Wei and others had never appeared.
At the same time, there were not a few people kidnapped by Jin Yiwei in the entire city of Luoyang.
The three public officials, nine ministers, and even the famous ministers and scholars in the opposition, as long as they were registered by the Jinyiwei, the Jinyiwei found out that they had dissatisfaction with Zhu Yuanzhang, even if they did not show any dissent, they were just dissatisfied, or they were just felt by Zhu Yuanzhang that their own
All those who could cause trouble to the Han Dynasty under his rule were kidnapped.
Overnight, nearly 60% of the officials and scholars in Luoyang City disappeared.
To be honest, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't actually think that these people could pose any major threat to his rule. After all, he controlled absolute force in Luoyang City.
But since we are going to launch an operation against Cao Cao tonight, let's hunt down the rabbits and take down these people as well.
After all, if tonight passes, these people may run away if the situation is not good.
This is what Zhu Yuanzhang did not want to happen.
To be honest, he will still put these people to great use in the future.
For example, Guo Jia and Xun Yu, these two people are indeed talented. It would be a pity if they ran away.
These people will be sent to the Ming Dynasty one after another, just like Lu Bu and others, for three years of re-education.
If they can pass the assessment, maybe in the future, these people can return to this plane and be used by him.
Of course, those stubborn people can only live peacefully in the Ming Dynasty for the rest of their lives.
"My lord, I suddenly feel that something is wrong here!" At this moment, under the imperial city, Cao Cao personally led five thousand elite infantry and rushed towards them.
At his side were Xi Zhicai, Dian Wei, Xia Houchun and others, following closely behind him.
Standing in front of the imperial city gate, Xi Zhicai suddenly spoke when he was about to launch an attack.
Cao Cao couldn't help but stare after hearing this. He raised his head and glanced at the sky. To be honest, he actually felt something was wrong.
But there is a saying that when an arrow is on the string, it must be fired. He has no way out.
And even if there is a way out, to be honest, he is not willing to back down.
He really wouldn't be willing to give up if he didn't give it a try!
"Nothing wrong!"
"Success or failure depends on tonight, let's fight to the death!"
Cao Cao suddenly pulled out the sword from his waist and said: "Dian Wei, open the city gate for me. All the officers and men will listen to the order and follow my general to kill the traitor and save the emperor!"
"Here!"
Dian Wei responded loudly, holding two large halberds at the same time, and ran towards the city gate with long strides.
As he ran wildly, his body suddenly began to grow in size. He, who was already extremely tall, had transformed into a giant nearly five meters tall when he rushed under the gate of the imperial city.
