The news of Liu Qi's death quickly spread throughout Chang'an City, and it radiated around Chang'an at an extremely fast speed.

Riding a fast horse, he set out from Qin Wangfu and galloped towards Xuzhou.

Liu Qi was assassinated?
Upon receiving this news, Hua Yu was also slightly taken aback.

Needless to say, it was either Cao Cao or Liu Bei.

According to the description in the letter, the burly man who killed Liu Qi was either Xu Chu or Zhang Fei.

However, there is another person whose martial arts is not inferior to Xu Chu, and Hua Yu can lock it immediately. This must be Cao Cao's strategy.

Although Liu Qi is a puppet emperor, he is the emperor of the Han Dynasty after all.

His death had a huge impact on the Han Dynasty.

Two choices were placed in front of Hua Yu.

First, establish another emperor.

The world cannot be without a master for a day, no matter whether the master is in power or in name.

Second, Hua Yu has already controlled almost the entire world, only Yanzhou and Jiangdong are left behind.

Therefore, at this time, Hua Yu can completely tear off the disguise, ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, replacing the big man.

Even abdication can be saved.

But no matter which one Hua Yu chooses, he has to rush to Chang'an to clean up the mess.

As long as Hua Yu leaves, Cao Cao can breathe a sigh of relief, and Yanzhou can exist for a while longer.

Even Cao Cao wanted to take the opportunity to counterattack.

Hua Yu immediately called Zhou Yu, Lu Meng, Zhong Ji, Huang Fuyu, Jia Xu, Pang Tong, and Xun You over.

Li Ru was sent by Hua Yu to Chang'an, and this letter was sent by Li Ru.

Of course, at the end of the letter, Li Ru also added his own opinion, that is to let Hua Yu take the opportunity to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.

Li Ru has arranged for people to spread the news everywhere, saying that Cao Cao sent assassins to kill the emperor.

In fact, Cao Cao is also ready. Once Xu Chu and others succeed, he will immediately send someone to spread the news, saying that Hua Yu killed the emperor and is planning to become emperor himself.

However, since the incident happened in Chang'an, Li Ru knew the news immediately.

It will take at least two days to spread the news from Chang'an to Yanzhou.

Who would have thought that Li Ru's reaction was too fast, and he acted first, which made Cao Cao's plan of framing basically failed.

In fact, if Cao Cao trusted Xu Chu and Li Jin a little more, things would be completely different.

In fact, Xu Chu sent someone to inform Cao Cao in advance of the time to start.

If Cao Cao made a decisive decision and spread the news before Xu Chu succeeded in the assassination, I am afraid that Hua Yu would not be able to clean up even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

It's a pity that because of Hua Yu's divorce, Cao Cao also became suspicious of the loyalty of Xu Chu and Li Jin, worrying that the two would not work hard, or they would go to Hua Yu directly.

Therefore, Cao Cao adopted a safe strategy, and waited for Xu Chu to send news of his success, and then sent people to spread the news of Hua Yu's murder of the king.

Who would have thought that when Li Ru was sitting in Chang'an, his first reaction was to put this charge on Cao Cao's head first.

Ever since, when Cao Cao heard the news and immediately sent people to spread the news everywhere, it was too late, and the influence area was only controlled within the territory of Yanzhou.

The rest of the states, including Liu Bei's Jiangdong, are spreading the news of Cao Cao's regicide.

Moreover, the murderer was positioned as Xu Chu.

Originally, Li Ru was just playing tricks and wasn't sure it was Xu Chu, but the result was that he inadvertently matched the facts.

"boom……"

"boom……"

"boom……"

In Cao Cao's study room, the sound of smashing things kept ringing.

Outside the door, just 16-year-old Cao Ang and Cao Anmin.

The rest of Cao's generals and Xiahou's generals, such as Cao Ren, Cao Chun, Cao Hong, Cao Xiu, Xiahoudun, Xiahouyuan, Xiahoulian, etc., were all sent by Cao Cao to take charge of the army.

Cao Anmin is the son of Cao Cao's younger brother Cao De.

In the past, after Cao Cao won Yanzhou, Cao Song and Cao De came to vote with their families.

As a result, he was killed by Xuzhou general Zhang Kai.

Fortunately, Cao Anmin had a good relationship with Cao Ang, and by following Cao Cao's side, he avoided disaster.

Both of them are young people, and both of them are extremely afraid of Cao Cao, how dare they go in and persuade them.

Cao Anmin said to Cao Ang: "Brother Ang, why don't you go to Mr. Feng Xiao, I'll go to Mr. Zhongde, maybe they can persuade uncle."

"Well, good." Cao Ang didn't dare to go in to persuade him, and immediately agreed to Cao Anmin's suggestion, and the two went to a mansion to find Guo Jia and Cheng Yu respectively.

In the end, what Cao Ang and Cao Anmin didn't expect was that Guo Jia and Cheng Yu claimed to be sick at the same time, and they didn't see anyone, which made them hit a soft nail.

When Cao Ang and Cao Anmin returned to the State Shepherd's Mansion, Cao Cao no longer smashed things, but sat in front of the table in a daze.

"You two, come in."

"Here." Cao Ang and Cao Anmin agreed and walked into Cao Cao's study.

Cao Cao looked at Cao Ang and sighed slightly: "Ang'er, I wanted to create a foundation for you as a father, but I met Hua Ziyi, an odd number, and my success was about to fail."

"Right now, Yanzhou has been surrounded by the Qin army, and the war will start soon."

"The Qin army has hundreds of thousands, and the civil servants and generals under Hua Ziyi's command are not comparable to our army in terms of number or morale."

"Because the war has not yet started, for the sake of my father, I want you to leave Yanzhou."

"No matter what the outcome of Yanzhou is, you don't want to come back. From now on, hide your name and leave a bloodline for my Cao family."

"Ah..." Cao Ang and Cao Anmin couldn't help being taken aback. Cao Cao's words were clearly arranging funeral arrangements.

Cao Ang said hurriedly: "Father, there is no one in our Cao family who is greedy for life and afraid of death. My son is willing to live and die with Yanzhou."

"As for leaving the blood, the father can leave it to the second brother and the others."

"Confused, it's not a matter of coveting life and fearing death, but that the Cao family must have a descendant." Cao Cao frowned, and shouted, "Pi'er is less than ten years old, and Shuo'er and Zhang'er are even younger."

"If they leave Yanzhou, they must be raised by someone."

"Hua Ziyi's dominance of the world is about to happen, and the people who are raising him will inevitably have different ideas. By then, Pi'er and the others will have a dead end?"

"But the two of you are different. You have grown up and can take care of yourself without using other people's hands."

Cao Cao's words made sense, Cao Ang and Cao Anmin were silent for a while, unable to refute.

"You have to remember." Cao Cao continued to instruct, "Once Puyang City is broken, and Hua Ziyi finds that you two are missing, he will definitely search everywhere."

"This person is extremely insidious and cunning. In order to catch you, he will definitely use some extreme methods."

"For example, hang my body or head high above the city of Puyang to force you to show up."

"No matter what method Hua Ziyi uses, even if you whip my corpse, you must not reveal your identity."

"After all, it is your mission to stay behind for the Cao family."

"Here, my son (nephew) understands." The two of them trembled, and they all agreed.
