Chapter two hundred and ninety fifth power seizure
Early morning, Xuchang City, Chariot and Cavalry General’s Mansion.
"General, why are you getting up so early?" Dong Cheng got up groggily, shook his dizzy head, and tried to get up with his weak body. The slender white pink arms had already wrapped around his arms, soft and soft.
The touch and the charming and passionate voice lingered in his ears. Even though he couldn't remember how many times he asked her last night, Dong Cheng still had the urge to push her down and ravage her immediately.
After a night of clouds and rain, Dong Cheng's face was a little gloomy, but Zou seemed to be a little more beautiful today. Dong Cheng just took a look at her and felt like he couldn't help himself and didn't want to get out of bed today.
The remaining reason and a slightly numb back allowed Dong Cheng to grasp himself and resist the temptation. He shook his head with strong determination, stood up and said with a righteous expression: "Madam, please sleep a little longer."
, I have some important things to do today, General. After finishing the big things, I will spend a few days with my wife!"
Last night, he went to the palace overnight to ask for an edict from the emperor. He should be able to get things done today, but the trampled self-esteem cannot be made up for by letting him go!
The attitude of Cao Cao's old men made him calm down a lot. At the same time, he also saw many problems clearly. In Xuchang City, even without Cao Cao, the emperor could not make the decision immediately. The power had not yet been transferred to them. He had to find a way to seize the power.
Just come back.
So he went to the palace to look for Liu Xie last night to discuss with the emperor how to seize power. Lu Bu could not retreat. They needed to recruit Lu Bu into the city. Only he could suppress these old troops of Cao's army, otherwise they would become the puppets of these old troops of Cao's army.
Of course, Lu Bu's army cannot enter the city. Otherwise, although Cao Cao's old troops have been cleared, Lu Bu may not have good intentions. If he wants to use him, he must be guarded against, otherwise the current Lu Bu may be more dangerous than these Cao Cao's old troops.
"General, please come back soon. I'm a little scared to be left here alone. Madam, you don't like me, right?" Mrs. Zou stood up and let the quilt slip down, looking at Dong Chengchu and said pitifully.
"No." Dong Cheng swallowed, took a deep breath and said, "Madam, don't worry, no one in this house dares to bully Madam."
After saying that, he put on his clothes and hurriedly left amid Zou's sweet laughter.
After going out, Dong Cheng took his guards with him and went all the way to the south city gate where Cao Peng was. During the night, Cao Peng used various methods to wipe out this group of troops, but Wei Yan hid in the city gate cave and tried to stop him.
, if Cao Peng's army enters Wengcheng, they will immediately rush forward to fight like hungry tigers. After killing them, they will immediately hide in the doorway. In the dark night, even if Cao Peng wanted to fire thousands of arrows, he would still be worried about hurting his own people.
At the same time, their strength also aroused Cao Peng's idea. Although the number of this group of troops was small, their combat effectiveness was quite terrifying. Hundreds of people had been killed in the urn city before and after. This made Cao Peng quite helpless. He clearly had the advantage, but he still couldn't.
There is really no way to deal with these dozens of people. It feels like using a catapult to swat mosquitoes. All I can think of now is to wait for them to die of thirst, starve and be trapped here.
This feeling is really frustrating.
As the sun rose, Cao Peng was thinking about how to deal with these people, when he saw a general coming over and said to Cao Peng: "General, Dong Cheng is here again!"
"Why is he here? Missing!" Cao Peng said impatiently.
"But he is holding the emperor's edict. If he disappears, I'm afraid..." The general frowned.
An edict from the emperor?
A flash of disdain flashed across Cao Peng's face, and he snorted coldly: "So what? Missing!"
He could probably guess what Dong Cheng was here for, but it was precisely because he knew that he felt it was outrageous. He didn't believe that Dong Cheng would not know how unreliable this was, but just to compete with himself, he did not care about the safety of Xuchang.
, what does this person think?
Or has he made some ulterior deal with Lu Bu?
The general trapped in the urn city can force himself to no avail with dozens of men. He is no ordinary person in terms of combat strength and coordination. He is definitely a big fish. Letting him go at this time is equivalent to letting the tiger go back to the mountain.
Damn it, there is something wrong in your head.
Dong Cheng also didn't expect that when he came full of confidence early in the morning, he got a big rejection. Even Cao Peng didn't see anyone. He wanted to force his way in, but when he saw a soldier on the tower who was eyeing him with eagerness, Dong Cheng
Cheng could only suppress his anger for the time being.
He did not expect that even if he obtained the emperor's edict, he would not be able to make these old generals of Cao's army lie dormant. This further strengthened his idea of leading Lu Bu into the court to suppress these unruly generals.
Leaving the city wall, Dong Cheng was thinking about how to solve this matter. He definitely couldn't go to Xun Yu. Xun Yu would only advise His Majesty to give up this plan. The two sides had different demands and were not on the same path. Dong Cheng was thinking as he walked back.
I'm looking for someone who can help me get this far...
Finally, Dong Cheng led his people to the military camp. To deal with the generals, it was best to find some generals to deal with. Famous people and the like might not be of much use in front of these vulgar warriors.
"General Dong?" Wang Zhong, who was on duty at the military camp, looked at Dong Cheng and frowned: "Every battalion is patrolling everywhere now. What is the purpose of general coming here?"
"I am here to see the general." Dong Cheng said with a smile. Wang Zhong was naturally a general under Cao Cao, but not everyone would agree with this. Cao Peng generally did not understand current affairs, and Dong Cheng felt that Wang Zhong was a person who knew current affairs.
"Looking for me?" Wang Zhong looked at Dong Cheng in confusion.
Smiling, he put away the emperor's edict in front of Wang Zhong, looked at Wang Zhong and said: "General Wang, I must have known the news that Duke Cao died in battle."
Wang Zhong nodded silently and did not answer. He was a little unsure of Dong Cheng's purpose of coming here.
"I know General Wang is a loyal man, but Duke Cao is dead, so I can't accompany him to die. I wonder if General Wang has thought about the future?" Dong Cheng asked with a smile.
"In the future?" Wang Zhong frowned and looked at Dong Cheng: "What do you mean by the general's words?"
"Although Your Majesty is heartbroken over the death of Duke Cao, Xuchang is now in chaos. The soldiers are fighting independently and do not listen to orders. Naturally, they must be reorganized. Otherwise, the soldiers in Xuchang City will not know the generals and will not know the soldiers. If this continues, it will be the root of chaos.
!
Your Majesty wants to select a few generals who are capable and loyal to the Han Dynasty from among the generals and entrust them with important tasks! And I think the general is the loyal minister of the Han Dynasty! That's why I came to see the general."
Wang Zhong understood what he heard, looked at Dong Cheng and said with a smile: "The last general is naturally willing to serve your majesty!"
There is nothing unwilling about this. Just as Dong Cheng said, Cao Cao is dead. No matter how powerful he was during his lifetime, but now everything disappears with his death, his prestige during his lifetime will also disappear with his death. The living people will naturally have to do it.
Consider it later.
In these troubled times where there are many princes, it may not be right to go to the emperor, but it is not a big deal to go to the emperor first. If it is not right, then change the family.
"General, wait a moment, I'll go get an edict!" Dong Cheng nodded with satisfaction. With Wang Zhong, he would have some military power, but this is not enough. There are tens of thousands of troops in Xuchang City, and this number of troops 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 the next step is to find Lu Bu.
He rushed all the way to the palace and briefly explained the situation to Liu Xie. Cao Cao's old troops were rebellious and he had successfully alienated Wang Zhong. To suppress these rebellious old Cao troops, a stronger army was necessary.
Stationed in.
This powerful army is naturally led by Lu Bu, but this army cannot come in completely, otherwise it may directly swallow up the general power. It is best to form a balance between the two sides, and then they can use the power in their hands to win over each other.
General Wang Zhong took advantage of the chaos to recruit a group of generals loyal to the Han Dynasty. By then, the power of Xuchang would be balanced, and he would have enough military power in his hands. He would then leave Lu Bu in the court and send someone to take over Xuzhou, and then the court would take over.
With the Central Plains and powerful soldiers in hand, we can then rise again and wipe out the world.
Thinking of this, Dong Cheng became a little excited.
I got two edicts from the emperor. One was to promote Wang Zhong to the rank of Huben Zhonglang General and let him temporarily guard the South Gate on behalf of Cao Peng. The other was an edict to let Lu Bu enter the court and be granted a title. He wanted Lu Bu to enter the court.
, of course, we have to prevent Lu Bu from falling out, so Lu Bu cannot bring too many people in, and can only bring a hundred followers at most. In this way, Xuchang's current strength 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 Cao's army, but he can also use Lu Bu's name to dispatch the Xuzhou army outside the city!
There are more things you can do!
After getting these two edicts, Dong Cheng said goodbye to Liu Xie and immediately went to the military camp, asking Wang Zhong to take the edicts to change defenses with Cao Peng. As long as the defenses were changed, the dozens of trapped Xuzhou Army soldiers would be released naturally.
He can also explain to Lu Bu to facilitate the next negotiation.
Wang Zhong did not shirk. After seeing the edict, especially his 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, he felt something bad and frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"
"I came to station here according to your Majesty's edict." Wang Zhongliang showed his edict to Cao Peng.
Upon hearing this, Cao Peng glanced at Dong Cheng who was standing aside, and said with a cold face: "Do you know what you are doing?"
"To feed the emperor's salary and worry about the emperor, General Cao, I have come here with an order. I hope General Cao will not embarrass the general!" Wang Zhong saluted Cao Peng, but his tone was a little unkind!
"I hope the general will not regret it! Let's go!" After taking a look at the soldiers behind Wang Zhong, Cao Peng finally suppressed the anger and dissatisfaction in his chest, turned around and left with his men.
Cao Cao's former generals, now with the death of Cao Cao, have begun to change their minds, or it cannot be said to be a change of heart. Now in Xuchang City, with the departure of Cao Chun and others, there are few who can convince the crowd, like Cao Cao
Although Peng belongs to the Cao clan and is somewhat brave, he does not have the charisma of Cao Ren and Cao Chun, so it is impossible to suppress the military power.
However, this matter must be informed to Xun Yu as soon as possible. I always feel that something big will happen if Dong Cheng continues to make trouble like this!
