Three Kingdoms: The identity of the financial master behind the scenes was exposed by Cao Cao

Chapter 176

"You are wrong, the person who harmed you is your Uncle Liu Huang, not me Cao Yuan. "

Cao Yuan sneered disapprenowningly.

Liu Xie was frightened and angry, still screaming.

Cao Yuan ignored him anymore and turned around and walked towards the city tower.

Xiahou suddenly understood his plan to kill people with a knife, and couldn't help but be taken aback, and hurriedly chased after him.

"Ziyou, although this Liu Xie is hateful, but after all, he is the Son of Heaven, so it seems inappropriate for us to borrow Liu Bei's knife to kill him without your uncle's order. "

Xiahoudun said worriedly.

Cao Yuan looked at Xiahoudun squarely and asked solemnly: "Uncle Yuanrang, I will ask you a word from my heart, do you want your uncle to be the emperor in the future." "

Xiahoudun's expression was grim, he didn't expect Cao Yuan to suddenly ask such a question.

After being stunned for a moment, Xiahou nodded heavily: "We, the brothers of the Cao family and the Xiahou family, follow Meng De and fight to the death for him, so we naturally want to help him to the emperor's position." "

"That's it. "

Cao Yuan asked rhetorically: "Uncle Yuanrang, you have been brothers with your uncle for many years, and you don't know much about your uncle's temperament, do you think that as long as Liu Xie, the son of the Han family, is in one day, Uncle will abolish Liu Xie and ascend the throne as emperor?"

Xiahoudun fell silent.

After pondering for a long time, he seemed to understand Cao Yuan's deep meaning.

Meng De's ambition since he was a child was to be the general of the Han Dynasty's expedition to the west, guarding the frontier for the Han Dynasty and expelling Hulu. "

"According to my understanding of him, even if he rules the world in the future, he may not be able to abolish Liu Xie and establish himself as emperor. "

Xiahoudun is worthy of being Cao Cao's brother and knows Cao Cao very well.

"That's right. "

"Liu Xie lives for a day, his uncle can't be the emperor for a day, and the world of the Han Dynasty can't become Cao's country for a day. "

"Uncle Yuanrang, you and I both want to let Uncle him be the emperor, so should we help him do it and kick Liu Xie, the stumbling block that prevents him from becoming the emperor?"

After Cao Yuan finished laying the groundwork, he made it clear that he wanted to kill Liu Xie.

Xiahoudun suddenly realized: "Let's kill Liu Xie by Liu Bei's hand, not only can we throw the infamy of killing the monarch to Liu Bei, but also get rid of the worries of being the emperor for Meng De, Ziyou, you are killing two birds with one stone!"

Cao Yuan smiled and said nothing.

"But although your plan is wonderful, but as soon as Liu Xie dies, won't Meng De be able to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes?"

After the joy, Xiahoudun said worriedly.

"Yuan Shao is dead, who still has the strength to stop his uncle from dominating the world?"

"It is meaningless to coerce the Son of Heaven to make the princes, Liu Xie has become a negative asset, if you don't clean it up quickly, what's the use of keeping him. "

Cao Yuan said disapprerovingly.

"Negative... Negative equity?"

Xiahoudun's eyes flickered, and his face was dazed.

"Ahem. "

Cao Yuan coughed dryly: "I mean, the banner of righteousness of Emperor Han has lost its meaning, leaving him alive, he will definitely find ways to mutiny and seize power, it is better to get rid of him." "

Xiahoudun realized.

Ponder for a moment.

The hesitation in his eyes turned into a fierce murderous intent, and he resolutely said: "Ziyou, your pattern is far-sighted, uncle, and I can't reach it, okay, let's use your plan to borrow Liu Bei's knife to kill Liu Xie, the ungrateful dog emperor!"

Seeing that Xiahoudun was convinced, Cao Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The two smiled heartily and looked back at the outside of Xu Capital.

In front of the south gate, 20,000 Jingzhou soldiers have advanced to the city and began to attack the city.

Xiahoudun stood with a horizontal sword, ordered 2,000 Cao troops, and fought to the death to resist the enemy.

Liu Xie was terrified and kept shouting: "I am the Son of Heaven, don't hurt me!"

His cry was ruthlessly drowned out by the earth-shattering drums.

An offensive and defensive battle begins.

Although the number of Jingzhou troops was ten times that of Cao's army, it occupied an absolute advantage.

But whether it was Li Yan or Huang Zhong, they were all jealous of Liu Xie and didn't dare to attack too fiercely.

He didn't even dare to use the crossbowman, lest he kill the Son of Heaven by mistake with an arrow.

Then they will be sinners who kill kings.

Liu Bei, the lord, is willing to bear the charge of killing the monarch for them and protect them, which is naturally lucky.

If Liu Bei couldn't bear the fishing boat, he was forced to kill them to thank the world, but who did he go to cry out for?

It is precisely because of this that they are afraid of this, from the generals to the pawns, they all do not contribute to the work and dare not attack.

After attacking the city for an hour, the 20,000 Jingzhou troops could not shake Xu Du in the slightest.

This scene.

Liu Bei clearly saw it in his eyes, and his brows became deeper and deeper.

"My lord, the soldiers are afraid of accidentally hurting the Son of Heaven, so they are unwilling to do their best to attack the city. "

"If this continues, even if we have a million troops, it is impossible to capture Xudu!"

Xu Shu saw the clue and reminded in a deep voice.

Liu Bei's eyes burned with rage, and he suddenly grabbed the iron bow on the saddle, and was almost about to kill Liu Xie himself.

Xu Shu saw his thoughts, his face changed, and he was anxious to hold Liu Bei's hand.

"Lord, you are the uncle of the Han Emperor, the Liu clan, no matter what, you can't do it yourself!"

Xu Shu reminded in a low voice, and shook his head at Liu Bei again and again.

Liu Bei shuddered, suddenly came to his senses, and broke out in a cold sweat.

He is a self-proclaimed Han clansman, and under the banner of supporting the Han family, he called on people with lofty ideals who support the Han people all over the world to go to the soup for him.

attacked Xudu, unfortunately injured the Son of Heaven, and it can be said that he was protecting King Qin, and he did not make a mistake.

Killing the king with his own hands, that is, the sin is unforgivable, and there is no reason to justify it.

The banner of righteousness that he supported the Han family will also collapse, and it will no longer be able to unite people's hearts.

Liu Bei's eyes rolled and shouted, "Chen Zhi listens to the order!"

"The last general!"

Chen Dao, the commander of the guards, stepped forward.

Liu Bei pointed at the city tower with a whip: "Seeing that traitor wearing a dragon robe and pretending to be the Son of Heaven didn't, I ordered you to go and kill the traitor for me immediately!"

Chen Zhi's body was shocked, and there was surprise in an instant.

Naturally, he didn't expect that he, the lord, would not dare to kill the king with his own hands, but he handed over this tricky task to himself.

"My lord, that's the Son of Heaven, how dare the general-"

"Nonsense!"

Liu Bei interrupted his embarrassment and said sharply: "That is clearly Xiahoudun, the fake Son of Heaven used to shake the hearts of our army, I have seen the Son of Heaven with my own eyes, how can I not know if he is true or false!"

Chen was speechless.

"Uncle Zhi, whether or not we can capture Xu Du today is the most critical battle for my Zhongxing Han. "

"If you can kill that false son of heaven, so that our army will no longer be afraid of rats, and take Xudu in one fell swoop, you will be the first hero of my Zhongxing Han family!"

"Uncle Zhi, don't let me down!"

Liu Bei patted Chen Zhi on the shoulder, and drew a big pie again.

Under such a combination of grace and power, Chen Zhi's remaining concerns disappeared in an instant.

"The last general obeys!"

Chen Zhi no longer hesitated, turned his horse and bowed, and went straight to the city.

He reined in twenty steps in front of the city, bent his bow and arrows, and aimed at the trembling Liu Xie.

"The lord has the grace of knowing me, don't say that the lord asked me to kill the Son of Heaven, even if I let me kill my parents, I am duty-bound!"

Chen Zhi made up his mind, and the fingertips in his hands loosened.

An arrow off the string and broke through the air.

"Poof!"

It is in the heart of Liu Xie.
