Simulate the Three Kingdoms, kill Cao Mengde at the beginning

Chapter 18 Yuan Xi's Loyal Official, Zhang Liaoyi Explains Cao Pi

Yang Biao had never seen such a brazen person before, pointing at him and tremblingly said: "Idiot, shameless!"

Chunyu Qiong laughed out loud, and walked away with her head held high.

Yang Biao fell to the ground and howled, saying: "Heaven does not pity the man, he has just left the wolf's den, and then entered the tiger's den. Woohoo, what a pity!"

At this time, in the court hall, a group of ministers knelt and sat on both sides.

A guard hurried in, "Your Majesty, Yuan Xi has led his army into the city."

The ministers were in an uproar.

The young Han Emperor Liu Xieduan sat on the table and asked anxiously, "Where is Taiwei Yang?"

"Taiwei Yang hasn't come back yet."

Liu Xie's complexion changed slightly, and he remained silent.

After a long while, seeing no one talking, he waved his hand and said, "Call Yuan Xi in."

Yuan Xi brought Chunyu Qiong and Han Meng into the hall.

At a glance, he saw Liu Xie sitting at the top.

There were many ministers around, all looking at him in unison, Yuan Xi was inexplicably nervous.

He didn't even know how to salute for a while, so he had to imitate the appearance on TV, bowed his hands and said: "My minister Yuan Xi, pay homage to the emperor."

Liu Xie breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "Aiqing, get back on your feet quickly."

Yuan Xi raised his head, looking at this young and handsome little emperor, feeling a lot of emotion for a moment.

"Your Majesty, I have killed Cao Cao and eradicated the traitors for the big man."

The ministers were in an uproar, and in the originally quiet hall, there were shocking discussions.

Liu Xie stood up abruptly, and lost his voice: "Cao Cao Cao is really dead?"

"died."

The entire hall was like a vegetable market, Yuan Xi felt very cordial, he was relieved, and turned to show hatred, saying: "Cao thief attacked my Wuchao sneakily, and was surrounded and killed by me."

He looked at Liu Xie, "Your Majesty, although I am far away in Hebei, every time I think of your majesty, you are trapped in a den of thieves and forced by Cao thieves, you feel so much pain, your heart is broken, and you want to kill Cao thieves quickly."

"In the battle of Wuchao, after I killed Cao Cao, I rushed to Xuchang overnight to rescue the emperor. You have suffered, Your Majesty."

Yuan Xi shed sad tears and wiped them again and again with his cuff.

Chunyuqiong was even more heartbroken, and knelt on the ground and cried, saying that she was late in saving her, and that she had failed the late emperor.

"Aiqing," Liu Xie said emotionally, "it's really a loyal minister and righteous man."

Yuan Xi wiped away his tears and asked, "Your Majesty, the Cao family has been surrounded by me, what should I do?"

One person jumped out and said loudly: "Cao thief has no way, he should destroy the nine clans!"

The officials responded and said that Cao Cao's family would be destroyed.

Liu Xie was not confused, and asked softly, "What do you think General Yuan wants?"

"This, Cao Cao's crime is unforgivable, and he should have killed the nine clans. But women and children are innocent, and keeping them is to show the mighty grace of the emperor."

Liu Xie said softly: "Women and children?"

Yuan Xi laughed and said: "The nine clans of the Cao family, all males over ten years old will be killed. If you don't kill children and women, people in the world will definitely praise the emperor for your benevolence."

Liu Xie nodded with a smile and said, "Quite playing."

The ministers were silent and basically had no opinion.

All males above the age of ten were killed, and there were basically no people in the Cao family.

After talking nonsense, Yuan Xi saw that Liu Xie didn't mention his reward, nor invited him to dinner, so he left.

He knew that this reward should come later.

Chunyuqiong was a little dissatisfied, and murmured behind him: "This old emperor, why didn't he mention the reward?"

Yuan Xi waved his hand, "If you don't give it to us, go grab it, go, grab Cao Cao."

On the way to Cao Cao's mansion, other generals gathered one after another.

"Where's Zhang Liao?"

Yuan Xi saw that everyone else was almost there, except Zhang Liao.

Xu Huang said in a low voice, "Shouldn't be back yet."

Yuan Xi frowned, it's been a whole night, Zhang Liao shouldn't have come back.

"Send someone to look at the north gate."

Yuan Xi winked at Zhang Nan.

Then he took everyone to Cao Cao's mansion.

Arrived in front of Cao Cao's mansion.

"Wen Yuan?"

Yuan Xi did not expect to see Zhang Liao here.

With a sullen face, Zhang Liao strode towards Yuan Xi, knelt down on one knee and said, "Second Young Master, please punish me."

Yuan Xi hurriedly helped Zhang Liao up, and said with a smile, "What is Wen Yuan's fault?"

Zhang Liao turned his head aside, "I let Cao Pi go."

Chunyuqiong stared wide-eyed, pointed at Zhang Liao and shouted, "Bold, Zhang Liao, do you know what you did?"

Zhang Liao threw all the weapons on the ground and sighed softly, "I just want to die."

Yuan Jun's generals behind him had been dissatisfied with Zhang Liao for a long time, and they even accused Zhang Liao after hearing the words.

"Well, you Zhang Liao don't know what to do!"

"Zhang Liao, you are a wolf-hearted dog, it is in vain that the Second Young Master treats you so well."

"Zhang Liao, a surrendered general, you dare to let him go without authorization. The country will suffer great harm."

"Zhang Liao, your mother."

"What's the noise?"

Seeing that everyone was talking too much, Yuan Xi scolded: "Shut up!"

The generals were silent for a while, but all of them glared at Zhang Liao with burning eyes.

Zhang Liao lowered his head and said nothing.

Xu Chu and Xu Huang looked at each other with unnatural expressions on their faces.

Yuan Xi thought for a while, then smiled and said, "Wen Yuan, Cao Pi escaped from the north gate last night?"

"Yes."

"What explanation do you have?"

"No. A certain incompetent, just want to die."

Yuan Xi sighed: "It's not that you are incompetent, it's because you thought of Cao Gong's kindness, so you let him go. Cao Gong asked you to help me, it was for his Cao family. If you stop him, I will look down on you."

Zhang Liao raised his head slowly and said with emotion: "Second Young Master"

Yuan Xi laughed loudly, patted him on the shoulder and said, "If you run away, you run away. If you run away from Cao Zihuan, I got Zhang Wenyuan. This deal is worth it!"

Zhang Liao sighed heavily, knelt down on one knee and said, "From now on, this life will be handed over to Second Young Master."

"Get up quickly."

Yuan Xi smiled and said, "Wen Yuan's words are better than those ten Cao Zihuans."

"Ding, congratulations on getting 10 benevolence and righteousness."

"Ding, congratulations on getting 50 benevolence and righteousness."

"Ding, congratulations on getting 5 benevolence and righteousness."

Yuan Xi turned around and looked at Xu Chu and Xu Huang: "Can your family members make arrangements?"

"It's been arranged, thank you, Second Young Master, for your concern."

"That's good."

Yuan Xi turned his head again, looked at the plaque on the lintel of Cao Cao's mansion, and said softly: "Just now when I entered the palace, everyone in the court wanted to kill the nine clans of the Cao family."

Xu Chu's complexion changed suddenly, and he shouted harshly, "What did the Second Young Master say?"

"Bold, are you talking to the second young master with this attitude?" Chunyu Qiong poked Xu Chu's nose and cursed.

Yuan Xi waved his hand, indicating that nothing happened.

He showed disbelief on his face: "I argued with reason and fought with all the courtiers. I didn't hesitate to tear my face to keep the women and children of the Cao family safe. However, the courtiers said that they must kill the males who are over ten years old."

Spreading my hands, "I really have no choice. I am ashamed of you."

Xu Chu and the others are not idiots. Based on what Cao Cao did at the beginning, it is a great reward for not being wiped out of the nine clans.

Xu Huang sighed: "Second Young Master has a heart, and we brothers understand that we can do this. It can be regarded as an explanation to Duke Cao."

Yuan Xi looked at Xu Chu, who nodded with a rather lonely expression.

Yuan Xi patted him on the shoulder, said a few words of comfort, and suddenly gasped: "Where's General Yu?"
