Three Kingdoms: At the beginning, Cao Cao assassinated Dong, and I was abandoned

Zhao Lan asked vigilantly: "This is my mistress, what does the general want to do?"

Your mistress?

Zhang Fei looked surprised, your mistress has gone to Chang'an?

No wonder Cao Shuo would find them to cooperate actively. If he had known that she was Cao Shuo's wife, he should have cheated him once.

"Help, I'm not their mistress!"

The sudden cry for help from the carriage made Zhang Fei's face change drastically. This guy was not telling the truth.

"stop!"

Zhang Fei stopped Zhao Lan again and asked, "Who is in the carriage?"

Zhao Lan narrowed his eyes, and the soldiers under him clenched their swords tightly and looked at Zhang Fei warily.

Seeing that Zhao Lan was about to make a move, Zhang Fei yelled, "Do you want to die?"

"Hahaha!"

"Why is General Zhang so angry?"

"Could it be our soldiers who offended General Zhang?"

I don't know when and where, Yin Kui can always appear in Liu Bei's army at the right time.

Zhang Fei looked at Yin Kui's lack of twitching, and said contemptuously, "Who is in the carriage? If you don't tell the truth, none of you will be able to get out of Fengxiang City."

Zhao Lan was about to speak, but was stopped by Yin Kui.

"General Zhang, our future mistress is in the carriage. Don't cause trouble for brother Xuande for no reason. We have an agreement."

Zhang Fei strode up to the carriage, lifted the curtain, and asked, "Who are you?"

"what……"

Zhang Fei's vicious look frightened Dong Bai immediately, and Dong Bai said tremblingly: "I, I am, I..."

She didn't think about what to say for a long time. If she dared to say that she was Dong Zhuo's granddaughter, the person in front of her would definitely not let her go.

She heard clearly just now, Liu Bei's generals, Liu Bei is a clan member of the Han family, and they have a deep hatred with their grandfather.

"Who the hell are you?" Zhang Fei shouted angrily.

Chapter 307 Dong Zhuo's Revenge

Dong Bai was so frightened that he cried, "I, I am Cao Shuo's wife."

Zhang Fei said angrily, "Then you just said no?"

"I, I just don't want to go back to Jizhou!"

Zhang Fei glanced at her suspiciously. There is something wrong with this person, and they must not be allowed to leave easily. He must notify his elder brother as soon as possible.

"Come here, take them to Wancheng together with Yin Kui, and let my elder brother handle the matter."

Yin Kui and Zhao Lan looked at each other, feeling cold in their hearts. Zhang Fei seemed to want something bad, so he planned to take revenge from our army.

Yin Kui said in a low voice: "If you have a chance, let your soldiers leave the brigade and go to Wuguan to spread the news that Dong Zhuo's granddaughter is in Liu Bei's army."

Zhao Lan was puzzled and said, "What if Liu Bei asks us to leave?"

Yin Kui smiled evilly and said, "He told us to go, should we go?"

Yin Kui and Zhao Lan were escorted to Wancheng by Zhang Fei's soldiers, and Liu Bei was notified soon.

"My lord, General Zhang has escorted Cao Shuo's men back."

"Is it brought back?"

Liu Bei looked confused, didn't he pick it up?what 's wrong?

When Liu Bei saw Yin Kui, his face changed instantly. He didn't expect Zhang Fei to escort Yin Kui back.

"What's going on here?" Liu Bei looked at the escorting soldiers and asked.

The captain who led the army replied: "My lord, the three generals said that they brought back a suspicious person from Chang'an, and I need my lord to inquire in detail."

suspicious person?

Liu Bei's face turned dark, even if Cao Shuo brought Dong Zhuo's mother out, they couldn't detain Cao Shuo's people, wouldn't this be causing trouble for him?

Yin Kui said meaningfully: "Mr. Liu, I am the Jingzhou branch of the Zhen Family Chamber of Commerce, and I am making ten thousand gold every day..."

"Bastard, let them go!"

Liu Bei yelled at the group of soldiers, he didn't dare to let Yin Kui continue talking, otherwise, his Nanyang County might not be enough to pay.

The third brother is really confused, what are the people who detained Cao Shuo for nothing, and it doesn't matter who they bring out?

Yin Kui lay down in front of Liu Bei's door as if playing tricks, and said lazily: "It's more comfortable to make money lying down, come and bring us the fine salt and fine wine that we transported to Jingzhou to Mr. Liu. "

"My grass..."

Liu Bei was terrified. Is this damn going to buy and sell by force?

This Zhang Fei will really find me something to do.

In Chang'an City, since Li Ru came back, Dong Zhuo still pretended to be terminally ill, but secretly asked his subordinates to investigate Li Ru's every move.

Rumors about Li Ru's assassination of him have already spread in Chang'an City, but Dong Zhuo has no conclusive evidence. After all, Li Ru has been with him for many years and has always been loyal.

He knew in his heart that if he lost Li Ru, his strength would be reduced by at least half, which was what the other princes wanted to see.

When it comes to dealing with Li Ru, he must be more cautious.

"Report, there is news from Hongnong County that the princess is in Liu Bei's army!"

Dong Zhuo looked surprised at the guard who reported, "Call Li Ru here!"

The guard asked puzzledly: "Your Majesty, didn't you confine Mr. Taiwei in the mansion?"

"Uh……"

Only then did Dong Zhuo remember that Li Ru was grounded by himself not long after he came back.

"Call him to me!"

"promise!"

Not long after, Li Ru came to the palace. Seeing Dong Zhuo's angry face, he suddenly panicked. He was afraid that Dong Zhuo would push himself out of the Meridian Gate and behead him without asking why.

Dong Zhuo said coldly: "Wen You, do you want to defend the rumors about you in the city?"

Li Ru said respectfully: "If Your Majesty believes me, I don't need to defend myself. If Your Majesty doesn't believe me, I can't change His Majesty's suspicion of me even if I say more."

"Hey!"

Dong Zhuo sighed and said, "Do you know why I just grounded you and didn't send someone to interrogate you?"

Li Ru replied: "Your Majesty knows in his heart that once he loses me, there will be no trustworthy people around His Majesty."

"You are very confident!" Dong Zhuo gave him a meaningful look.

Li Ru said: "This is a well-known fact!"

Dong Zhuo stared into Li Ru's eyes and asked, "Is this related to you?"

"It doesn't matter!"

Dong Zhuo was very satisfied with Li Ru's answer.

However, this does not mean that he has no doubts in his heart. He still needs to observe for a while.

"Wen You, the guards came to report that Bai'er is in Liu Bei's army. I don't know if the news is true or not."

Li Ru said with certainty: "Really!"

"Oh?"

Dong Zhuo looked surprised, he didn't know why Li Ru was so sure.

"The kidnapper released the Queen Mother, and then took Bai'er into the mountains. They only had two places to go, one was Hanzhong and the other was Nanyang County, but the kidnappers would not go to Hanzhong."

"Why?" Dong Zhuo was puzzled, did Li Ru know who the kidnapper was?

Li Ru explained: "I learned from Cao Shuo that this incident was planned by Cao Shuo, and he led the whole incident."

"What? I￥&%......&!"

Dong Zhuo was furious and swearing continuously.

Li Ru told Dong Zhuo what he had learned from Cao Shuo, and exchanged jade seals for Liu Xie and the ministers of the court to win people's hearts, and then borrowed their hands to kill those veterans who were loyal to the Han Dynasty.

"Cao Shuo, I want to eat your flesh and sleep with your skin!"

"Your Majesty, the reason why Cao Shuo took Bai'er away is because she is His Majesty's only blood relative now, and he gave Bai'er to the Liu clan to humiliate His Majesty."

Dong Zhuo said angrily, "This abominable Cao Shuo is so insidious and despicable."

Li Ru said: "The family members surnamed Liu are very likely to exchange Bai'er for the corpses of Yuxi and Liu Xie. Your Majesty should make preparations early."

Dong Zhuo said with a gloomy face: "Then what should we do?"

"Compared to Liu Biao, Liu Bei's strength is too far behind. If Liu Bei hands Bai'er into Liu Biao's hands, it will be difficult for us to get it back. We must get it back as soon as possible."

"Let Guo Si lead [-] Xiliang cavalry to go out of Wuguan and snatch Bai'er back."

Chapter 308 Three Provinces and Six Ministries

"Gongda, Luoyang's military affairs will be handled by you!"

Xun You said calmly, "Thank you, my lord, for your trust."

Cao Shuo left Xu Rong and Han Hao to assist Xun You, and led three thousand tiger guards back to Xindu, Jizhou.

Upon receiving the news that Cao Shuo had returned to Jizhou, all the civil and military officials under his command came to the prefect's mansion.

Ju Yi asked: "Master, why are you so eager to return to Xindu?"

Cao Shuo glanced at Xun Yu in surprise, he didn't tell anyone else about it, was he worried that he would blame him?

Xun Yu stood up and said: "The Han Dynasty no longer exists. The princes of the world have proclaimed themselves kings and emperors, but the lord is indifferent. This is really inconsistent with the lord's achievements!"

Ju Shou said: "Under the governance of our lord, our Jizhou has surpassed other state capitals of the Han Dynasty and has become the largest state of the Han Dynasty. What face do other princes have to rush to proclaim the emperor before our lord?"

Zhen Yan said: "My Zhen family has been in Jizhou for a hundred years, and I have never seen a governor of the state. With such achievements, the living standards of the people in Jizhou have been more than doubled compared with before the Lord came. Ten times, dare to ask which state capital in the world can be as rich as our Jizhou."

Zhao Fu said: "I have served four state shepherds in Jizhou, and I have never seen such a good lord who loves the people like a son, treats the virtuous and corporal, and is considerate of the soldiers. All the state shepherds in the past are for the purpose of seeking the people's fat and anointing."

When Juyi heard it, the good guy bullied our generals, didn't he react slowly?Isn't it just to persuade the lord to become emperor, who wouldn't,

"I, Jizhou, has a strong army and a strong horse. I rank second among the princes. No one dares to rank first. Now that the Han Dynasty has collapsed, all heroes have risen together. The people of the world are waiting for the rain, waiting for a wise king like my lord to save me. My lord will take the throne of the world." The emperor, following the example of Qin Shihuang, swept the six countries and unified China."

In the hall, dozens of ministers expressed their opinions, but in the end they all persuaded Cao Shuo to proclaim himself emperor.

Cao Shuo saw that no one objected, so he said: "At present, our army has not reached the land of three states, so it is too early to be called emperor. I think we should be called emperor first, and we will be called emperor after our army has conquered six states."

After everyone's discussion, it is most appropriate to be promoted from Marquis of Wei to King of Wei.

Xun Yu suggested: "At the moment when Luoyang is being rebuilt, it is most appropriate to set the capital in Luoyang. Let all the civil and military officials of Jizhou and the people of Li participate in it. This will not only reduce our army's expenditure, but also improve the popularity of the people."

Cao Shuo asked puzzledly, "Throughout the dynasties and dynasties, civil engineering was built extensively, and the common people suffered unspeakably. Why did Wen Ruo say that this move would improve the popularity of the people?"

Xun Yu explained: "The construction of the capital city is different from other buildings. The people of Jizhou are all grateful to the Lord. If they are allowed to donate money to build their own capital city, they will be very happy."

Cao Shuo thought about it for a while. If the control is not good, it is very possible to stir up civil uprisings. It must be supervised by a very trustworthy person.

"Since Wen Ruo suggested to do this, Wen Ruo will be responsible for this matter, and no materials shall be forcibly confiscated. Everything is in the interests of the people."

"promise!"

"At present, our army is fighting everywhere, and most of the generals are away. After our army stabilizes, I will discuss the reform of the control system with the ministers."

"promise!"

Ju Shou suggested: "Your Majesty, Jizhou and Youzhou, Sili, and some prefectures in Yanzhou follow the system of the previous dynasty. Now that the Han Dynasty is dead, the kingdom should be abolished and the county system changed."

Cao Shuo said: "Then abolish all kingdoms and dependent states, and change them to county systems!"

Xun Chen suggested: "My lord will become king of Wei, who should act as the governor of Jizhou?"

Cao Shuo looked at the ministers under his command, and found that Xun Yu was the more suitable one, "Wen Ruo, I named you Jizhou Shepherd, in charge of Jizhou's government affairs."
