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

Once they unite with Liu Biao, Cao Shuo will definitely think that they are going to attack Wei, and the army will probably be sent over at that time.

Zhang Hong suggested: "We have been fighting with Liu Biao for so long, and Liu Biao has consumed a lot. Once the national power is exhausted, even if Cao Shuo does not come to attack, I am afraid that the civilians in our territory will resist."

Zhou Yu frowned, and said, "I'm afraid we need to promise benefits to form an alliance with Liu Biao again. This will only make us more overwhelmed."

"boom!"

Sun Ce raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice, "Recruit soldiers first. Whether it is forming an alliance with Liu Biao or resisting Cao Shuo's army, soldiers are inseparable. Train the recruits well first."

With soldiers, there are conditions for negotiating with them.

With Sun Ce's order, Yuzhang County began to get busy.

"The enemy is overwhelming and Yuzhang is in danger. King Wu recruits warriors to defend against the enemy together."

Notices of recruiting soldiers were posted all over the counties in Yuzhang County.

"Going to war? I don't know if my son is still alive."

"Four of my five sons have already died in battle. The youngest son is only 13 years old this year. Will he still be forced to join the army?"

"War, fight, fight every day, and I haven't seen a name for myself."

"That's right, our country of Wu has less and less land, what kind of battle is this fighting?"

"Why don't we move to Wei State? I heard that there are a lot of fields there, and there is no need to ask for rent."

"We are only separated by the Yangtze River from Wei Guo, why don't we go to Jiangbei."

Xu Gong, the county magistrate of Caisang County, looked at the official documents sent by his subordinates, and his head grew dizzy.

King Wu's recruitment of soldiers caused an uproar among the people, and many civilians began to pack up their belongings and prepare to cross the river to Jiangxia County.

If it goes on like this, I am afraid that the hearts of the people will be lost.

However, it is reasonable for Sun Ce to recruit soldiers. After all, Wu Guo has too few soldiers now, and if he does not recruit as soon as possible, he may be in danger of destroying the country.

It's just that Sun Ce was too impatient and recruited 15 troops at one time, which might take away [-]% of the strong men in Yuzhang County.

He can't sit idly by, he has to dissuade Sun Ce. The country can perish, but the people's hearts cannot be lost.

"Come here, please suspend the recruitment of Xiangyong first."

He wanted to go to Wuchang City as soon as possible, and he wanted to talk to Sun Ce about this in person, and he must not lose the hearts of the people.

However, just as Xu Gong's order was issued, before he packed his bags, he was stopped by his servants.

"My lord, my lord, it's not good, the officers and soldiers who recruited soldiers fought with our yamen servants."

Xu Gong's face darkened, and he asked, "Why are you arguing?"

"Your Excellency has just issued an order to suspend the recruitment of villagers, but the officers and soldiers recruiting soldiers said that anyone who dares to stop them from recruiting soldiers will be killed without mercy."

"Bold!"

Xu Gong was angry, he wanted to see which bastard dared to make trouble here.

His Xu family has been operating in Caisang County for decades, and no one has dared to disrespect her.

"Hit, hit me hard, I want to see who dares to stop our king from recruiting soldiers."

When Xu Gong came to the conflict site, he saw that the leading general was still commanding the soldiers and beating his subordinates continuously, and his heart was instantly furious.

"Catch them all for me."

"I see who dares!"

The leading general drew out his sword around his waist, pointed at Xu Gong, and said with a sneer: "Xu Gong, do you recognize me, Xu Kun?"

Xu Kun?

Xu Gong couldn't help being startled, it turned out to be Sun Ce's cousin, Sun Ce's aunt's son, Xu Kun.

Xu Kun's mother was Sun Jian's own sister. Sun Jian had a good relationship with Xu Kun's father, Xu Zhen, so he betrothed his younger sister to Xu Zhen.

Xu Kun used to be the prefect of Danyang County. After Danyang County fell, Sun Ce transferred him to Caimulberry City and gave him [-] troops to defend Lu Bu in Jiangbei.

Unexpectedly, when Sun Ce increased his troops this time, Xu Kun actually came to recruit them himself.

Seeing that several yamen servants were about to be beaten to death by Xu Kun, Xu Gong didn't care so much, and ordered his yamen servants to go up with the doormen, first take down the adults' soldiers, and then go to King Wu to argue.

"It's against you!"

Seeing Xu Gong's men rushing up, Xu Kun yelled angrily, led a dozen soldiers, rushed up, and fought with Xu Gong's retainers and yamen servants.

Although Xu Kun's soldiers were powerful in combat, their number was too small, only about [-], while Xu Gong's yamen servants had nearly a hundred people, and there were more than a dozen disciples with good martial arts skills.

The battle between the two sides lasted less than half an hour, and they were all red-eyed. It is unknown who killed them first, and there were casualties.

Seeing that he was at a disadvantage, Xu Kun immediately sent someone back to call for them. He must take down these rebels today.

"Boom!"

In less than a quarter of an hour, a group of 300 cavalry rushed over, and they couldn't help but kill everyone with weapons except Xu Kun's soldiers.

Xu Gong looked at Xu Kun in horror, he didn't expect this person to be so ruthless that he dared to kill people in public.

"I'm going to the King of Wu to sue you!"

"Sue me? Sue the Underworld."

Xu Kun rode on his horse and rushed in front of Xu Gong, raised his knife and dropped it, Xu Gong's head rolled to the ground.

"Xu Gong deliberately rebelled, and his whole family, young and old, were dragged to Caishikou and beheaded."

Xu Gong's whole family was beheaded, and among the crowd watching, a few of Xu Gong's disciples who fled were gnashing their teeth in hatred.

Xu Gong treats them well on weekdays, and now they can only watch Xu Gong's family members being massacred.

"We must make Sun Ce and Xu Kun pay the price."

In the harem of the Luoyang City Imperial Palace, Cao Shuo was playing with his little ones when an eunuch hurried over.

"Report to Your Majesty, Mr. Xun Wei, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, seeks to see you."

Cao Shuo handed Cao Ji and the others to Diao Chan, and then went to the study.

"Chen Xun Fai, I have seen Your Majesty."

Cao Shuo asked, "What do you want from me?"

If he didn't report it in the morning, it must be an emergency, but he didn't know what the Ministry of Industry could do to make Xun Fai come to him directly.

Xun Fei replied: "Your Majesty, there are suddenly many civilians in the city who want to join our construction team."

Cao Shuo couldn't help but frown. Could it be that he wants to inspire the characteristics of a madman in China's infrastructure?

He also understood in his heart why these people wanted to join the construction team, because Cao Shuo's wages were not low.

This is more profitable than crops, and he doesn't need to recruit soldiers, and he doesn't need to watch the land every day. Young and middle-aged people are idle at home and want to find a way to make money for themselves.

However, the construction of Luoyang City has been completed, and the remaining minor problems do not require so many people.

"Luoyang City has been completed, and the next location is Chang'an City. If any of these people are willing to go to Chang'an, they can stay."

Xun Wei said worriedly: "Your Majesty, we have spent a lot on building the city. If we recruit more people, it may be a bit wasteful."

"Chang'an is no different than Luoyang, and the wages must be reduced a lot. This must be explained clearly to them. In addition, I asked the craftsmen of the Military Aircraft Department to make a batch of moving machinery, which can save a lot of labor and make those who are not feeling well. All right, get rid of them all."

"promise!"

After Luoyang City was built, he hadn't seen its real appearance yet, so Cao Shuo decided to go out and inspect it.

"Dian Wei, you lead the five hundred tiger guards and wait for my order in front of the palace gate."

"promise!"

Cao Shuo returned to the harem, took Diao Chan, Cai Yan, Zhen Jiang, Huang Wudie, and Zhao Yu with him, and left the palace under the protection of the Tiger Guards.

In a certain inn in Luoyang City, there were more than a dozen strong men dressed in black, all of them were vicious.

"The dog emperor has finally left the palace, our chance has come!"

"I saw that he brought a lot of guards, and it may be very difficult for us to succeed."

"What are you worried about? We have the powerful crossbow of the Wei State in our hands. This is called using your own spear to attack your own shield!"

"Hahaha!"

"Hush your voice, there are so many Jinyiwei spies in Luoyang City!"

"The brocade guards in this area have all been dismissed, so what are you worried about?"

"That woman's ability is really great, she was able to drive away the Jin Yiwei on West Street."

"Hmph, it's better to rely on the body!"

"Shut up!"

"Yes, boss!"

"The Dog Emperor is coming, and we must shoot the carriage salvo in the shortest possible time to kill the Dog Emperor. This time, Daoist Lord gave us a very generous reward."

However, what these people didn't realize was that when they first came to the inn, they were put on top.

Of course the person who topped them was not Jin Yiwei, as they said, Jin Yiwei was dismissed.

The people on top of them are the people in Luoyang City. These people were all Cao Shuo who migrated from Wei County, his own fief, and their loyalty to Cao Shuo is beyond doubt.

As long as they see suspicious people entering or leaving Luoyang City, they will report to Mr. Yin Xuchu of Henan as soon as possible.

Xu Chu received the report from these people, and quickly handed over the matter to Xi Zhicai to deal with it.

Xi Zhicai was very surprised, he didn't expect someone to sneak into the imperial capital with weapons, and his Jin Yiwei didn't get any news.

When he learned of the whereabouts of these people, he was even more horrified.

This is the focus of the West Street Jinyiwei's investigation, so nothing abnormal was found here?

"Call Liu Kai, who is in charge of the Hundred Households of Jinyiwei in West Street, to me, and immediately notify General Xu Chu to send an army to block the street."

"promise!"

"Hurry up!"

As soon as Cao Shuo came to West Street, Xu Chu led cavalry to block the entire West Street.

"Your Majesty, it's getting late, you'd better go back to the palace to rest, and come back for inspection in two days!"

Xu Chu didn't say the reason, but just hoped that Cao Shuo would leave here as soon as possible.

Cao Shuo asked, "I'm just here to inspect. You drove the people away. Why should I inspect?"

Xu Chu said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the sanitation here hasn't been cleaned yet, so come back another day."

cleaning?

Cao Shuo narrowed his eyes, could it be that someone wants to assassinate him?

Can Luoyang City still infiltrate spies?

"what happened?"

As soon as Cao Shuo finished speaking, he heard the sound of fighting in the distance.

"Catch the living ones, don't let them go."

Diao Chan frowned slightly, and asked worriedly: "Your Majesty, with a body of ten thousand gold, don't stay here for too long, and go back to the palace as soon as possible."

Xu Chu echoed: "Yes, yes, the queen is right, Lao Dian, quickly escort His Majesty back to the palace, and just leave these little miscellaneous fish to me."

With a wave of Dian Wei's hand, more than a dozen guards clung to the carriage and surrounded the carriage airtightly.

Cao Shuo originally wanted to join in the fun, but with Diao Chan and the others by his side, he couldn't take too many risks.

Back in the palace, Xi Zhicai hurried to Cao Shuo's study.

"The minister is guilty of death!"

Seeing Xi Zhicai's appearance, Cao Shuo knew that there must be something wrong with Jin Yiwei.

But this is no wonder Xi Zhicai, in order to ascertain news from various countries, he developed a large number of Jinyiwei, which attracted many people from the Jianghu.

There are all kinds of teachings and nine streams, green forest heroes, and some mistakes are inevitable.

"Zhicai please hurry up, what is going on today?"

Xi Zhicai blamed himself, "It's the minister's incompetent teaching and poor management, which allowed some young people to sneak into the Jinyiwei."
