"Their Cao family is just an eunuch, and even his father, Cao Cao, was recommended by our father back then, so he became the northern captain of Luoyang."

"Besides, the world is in chaos and the Han Dynasty is in decline. It is not yet known who will win the Central Plains."

"Duke Yuan is about to pacify Hebei and other places, and sooner or later he will have to fight Cao Cao."

"A few days ago, Duke Yuan even sent a letter, hoping that our Sima family can stand by his side."

"Instead of taking refuge in one side, it is better to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight."

Sima Lang took a sip of tea and smiled slowly.

Sima Yi nodded approvingly, but still said with concern,

"It's just that Cao Mao is cruel by nature. Even Kong Beihai died at his hands. What if he plans to harm our Sima family?"

"Zhongda (Sima Yi's name), you are too worried."

Sima Lang smiled lightly and waved his hands,

"Kong Beihai's death, in the final analysis, was his own fault, and he made an agreement with Cao Mao."

"But the Sima family has made no mistakes. If he dares to attack us, not to mention the gentry in Hanoi County, the gentry in the world will not let him go!"

Sima Yi thought about it carefully.

It's the same reason.

No matter how unreasonable Cao Mao was, he wouldn't have shot brazenly just because he and his elder brother didn't go to the city gate to meet him, right?

"My brother is right."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and both raised their teacups.

Just as the two were about to drink tea, suddenly a servant came running in from the outside.

"You two sons... No, it's not good! A group of soldiers suddenly broke in from outside. They killed anyone they saw, saying they wanted to destroy my Sima family!"

Looking at the blood-stained servants, Sima Lang and Sima Yi, who were originally calm, looked terrified.

The two stood up involuntarily.

"Do you know where the soldiers came from?"

Sima Lang shouted in a low voice.

"It is said...the soldiers brought by the newly appointed governor Cao Mao!"

The two shook their bodies and looked at each other in shock.

This Cao Mao, actually acted so recklessly?
"You two sons, run away!"

The servant said in a crying voice.

However, at this moment, the sound of shouting and killing had already reached outside the door.

Several other princes and servants of the Sima family ran into the lobby in panic.

Soldiers in military uniform surrounded the lobby with a murderous look.

Seeing this situation, Sima Lang was startled and angry, and shouted loudly,

"Where is Cao Mao, let him come out to see me!"

"I'm here."

As soon as the words fell, the tiger and leopard riders separated to the two sides, dodging a path.

Cao Mao, who was dressed in silver armor, stepped forward with an indifferent expression.

"Cao Mao!"

Sima Yi tried to stay calm, pointed at Cao Mao with eyes full of anger, and shouted sharply,
"My Sima family is a well-known family in Hanoi. My father is an important minister of the court. Back then, I strongly recommended your father as the northern captain!"

"You brought troops to our Sima's house today to commit murder, but you committed a catastrophic disaster! If I report to the Son of Heaven and the Prime Minister, you will lose your life!"

"If I retreat now, I will pretend that this has never happened!"

What an eloquent Sima Yi!
No wonder you can bear it for so long in history and take away the world of Cao Wei!

Cao Mao glanced at Sima Yi indifferently, and said coldly,
"The Sima family is suspected of treason, and the family will be ransacked immediately!"

Sima Fang was terrified, pointed at Cao Mao and shouted,

"You...you don't have any evidence. If you want to accuse me of crimes, why don't you have excuses?"

"You're right, I really have no evidence."

The corners of Cao Mao's mouth raised, revealing a sarcastic smile,

"But what can you do to me? I can wait until your Sima family is wiped out, and then slowly find evidence!"

"You thug!"

Sima Fang and Sima Yi were trembling with anger. They didn't expect Cao Mao to be so cruel and unreasonable!
"Why are you still standing there? Do it!"

Cao Mao gave an order!
Lu Bu led his soldiers and rushed forward.

In less than half a stick of incense, the corpses of members of the Sima family were strewn all over the place.

Blood gathered on the ground and formed a small river, and the lobby was filled with a pungent bloody smell!

Apart from Cao Mao and others, there is only one Sima Yi standing there!
Looking at the corpses all over the floor, Sima Yi stared at Cao Mao with hatred in his eyes,

"Why? Why did you attack my Sima family?"

"The Sima family controls most of the land in Hanoi County. If I don't eradicate you, how will I gain a foothold here?"

Cao Mao smiled lightly.

The deeper reasons are naturally not enough to explain so much to Sima Yi.

"Zhang Chunhua, I will take good care of you."

"And don't worry, your Sima family will definitely not be the last noble family to fall under my sword."

"This is just the beginning!"

Cao Mao is meaningful and authentic.

Hearing him mention Zhang Chunhua, Sima Yi cursed angrily,
"You cruel villain! Let me see how you explain to the emperor, the prime minister and the people of the world!"

Cao Mao turned his back and stood with his hands behind his back.

"I, Cao Mao, never bother to explain to others."

Sima Yi wanted to say something else, but Lu Bu stepped forward,

Accompanied by Fang Tian's halberd dancing, Sima Yi's head fell heavily on the ground!
"Reporting to my lord, there is indeed no one alive in the Sima Mansion."

Lu Bu said in a deep voice.

Cao Mao turned around slowly, looking at the corpses all over the ground, the fierce light in his eyes slowly disappeared.

Sima Bada, from today onwards, no longer exists.

"Confiscate Sima's house and set fire to it!"

"Here!"

Lu Bu nodded heavily and watched Cao Mao leave.

Only then did he exhale slowly, and realized that the clothes under the armor were drenched in cold sweat.

In the past, he always felt that Dong Zhuo was cruel and heartless, but looking at it today, Cao Mao was no less violent than Dong Zhuo!

From now on, Lu Bu no longer underestimated Cao Mao.

……

Jia Xu and Chen Gong waited anxiously like ants on a hot pot.

It wasn't until the sun slowly set towards the west that Cao Mao rushed back with his troops.

Seeing the shocking bloodstains on their bodies and the strong smell of blood,

Their hearts skipped a beat, and they asked in trembling voices,

"My lord, you... what are you going to Sima Mansion for?"

Cao Mao glanced casually at Chen Gong and Jia Xu, and said casually,

"I have destroyed the door of Sima Mansion and ransacked the house!"

The bodies of the two of them shook violently, and expressions of disbelief appeared in their eyes.

"Even if the Sima family is the biggest obstacle for us to control Hanoi County, my lord can't kill him."

Jia Xu smiled wryly.

Chen Gong was even more furious, pointing at Cao Maodao,
"I didn't expect you to be more cruel than your father!"

He abandoned Cao Cao at the beginning because Cao Cao was too unkind and unrighteous, and killed his benefactor Lu Boshe's family!
But I didn't expect that Cao Mao was more cruel than Cao Cao, and he destroyed the Sima family with a single disagreement!
At this moment, Cao Xiu quickly broke into the Yamen.

"Several noble families in Hanoi County gathered outside the gate and asked the general to go out!"

Lü Bu, Jia Xu and the others were startled and looked towards Cao Mao.

Cao Mao smiled lightly,
"Follow me out and meet them."

He walked out in stride, and everyone followed closely behind.
