A few days later, Xuchang.

Although Yuzhou was destroyed, after Xuchang established the new capital, it attracted countless literati and poets, greatly increasing the development of the place and looking prosperous.

Inside the city, Dong's Mansion.

Because Dong Cheng married his daughter Dong Concubine to be a son, he was also considered a royal relative and even appointed as a general. He has a remarkable status and certainly has no real power.

And he is naturally also a protector of Liu.

In later generations, the bloody edict of the robbery of the robbery was created by Wu Zilan and others, and almost killed Cao Cao. In this life, his grudges with Cao Cao would not be resolved so easily.

"The head of the family, the head of the family, there is a person outside the mansion who claims to be Yiji, saying that he is under the command of Zhang Xiu, the governor of Jingzhou. He came to have important things to visit." The old butler said with a vigilant look on his face.

"Zhang Xiu, the governor of Jingzhou?" Dong Cheng frowned slightly, with a nervous expression because he had told Zong Ji, Wu Zilan, Wang Zifu and others about this matter in the past few days. He was preparing to rebel before Cao Cao returned to Xuchang.

Of course, no one knows this after all, and they are more vigilant. Once they find out, it will be a death sentence for the death penalty of being executed by the whole family, and no one can save them.

Zhang Xiu was far away in Jingzhou, so he probably didn't know about this, but what was his intention to send someone to visit him for no reason? Is he trying to secretly understand himself?

However, being careful about everything is the best, Dong Cheng immediately frowned and said, "Go and let him come in."

"No!" The old housekeeper agreed.

After a while, in the side hall.

Yi Ji looked at Dong Cheng, who was nearly fifty years old at the first place. Although he was quite old, he was in good spirits and looked righteous.

"Under Zhang Xiu, the governor of Jingzhou, he worked hard and met Mr. Dong Guoji." Yi Ji was humble and polite, shouting from afar.

Dong Cheng looked unhappy and said a little displeased: "Zhang Xiu, the governor of Jingzhou, if I remember it well, I shouldn't be familiar with Zhang Xiu, right?"

"My lord has long admired the name of his uncle and was born in Cao's camp, but he is devoted to serving the Han Dynasty. It is like a bright moon on the day that day, so those who are loyal to the Han Dynasty respect it. How can you not be familiar with it?"

Yiji looked admiring and raised his hands and said.

"Hmph, don't talk nonsense, they are all smart people, just be honest and honest, and tell me what happened this time." Dong Cheng was used to these flatteries and waved his hand and said.

"Haha," Yi Ji smiled awkwardly, and then said, "Since that's the case, then I won't beat around the bush." ​​As he said that, he looked left and right from the corner of his eyes.

Dong Cheng frowned slightly and waved his hand and said, "Go down, don't come here without my instructions."

"No!" The old housekeeper retreated with two maids.

"Can you say it?" Dong Cheng was quite unhappy.

Yi Ji smiled gently, stared at Dong Cheng with a gaze, and then said, "No surprise, Cao Cao will return to Xuchang soon. I wonder when his uncle will be planning to rebel?"

boom!

Dong Cheng's mind trembled instantly.

His eyes were hard to control and his eyes were staring at Yiji. Because that word made him hold his hands tightly on the seat. He was wondering if he wanted to kill Yiji.

This sentence means too many meanings.

If it spread, his Dong family would be destroyed.

Even if it is just a rumor, Cao Cao's suspicious personality will definitely not let him go, and he is afraid that his daughter will be implicated.

Looking at Dong Cheng's expression, Yi Ji was shocked.

Obviously, Dong Cheng really wanted to rebel. Of course, the target of this rebellion was Cao Cao. He wanted to help the emperor rebel. Once he succeeded, he would be named in history.

And all of this was predicted by Zhang Xiu.

"God, God, the lord is really a God." Yi Ji sighed in his heart. He was originally very respectful of Zhang Xiu, but after this incident, he had become fanatic.

In the side hall, there was a lot of silence.

After a long time, Dong Cheng forced out a smile, "Yi Gongcao, what do you mean by this? Cao Gong's return to Xuchang is good news for the revival of the Han Dynasty, what does it have to do with me?"

"Haha, it really doesn't matter?" Yiji raised his eyebrows and chuckled.

"Of course it has nothing to do. Rebellion is a murderous crime that implicates the nine tribes. How could I do such a stupid thing? As for you, if you dare to spread rumors about this, I will investigate it deeply."

Dong Cheng snorted coldly, with murderous intent in his eyes.

"Haha, since it has nothing to do, then I'm going to visit General Zhaoxin." Yi Ji said with a smile, then turned around and wanted to leave.

"General Zhaoxin?" Dong Cheng was stunned again, and he was a little panicked. Isn't General Zhaoxin Wu Zilan? Yiji, no, how did Zhang Xiu know?

Are there any spies among them?

But no matter what, he could not let Yiji go today, and immediately shouted: "Slow down!"

"Yi Gongcao, since you have said so clearly, I have nothing to justify. That's right, the emperor is trapped in the deep palace, and I want to unite with loyal and righteous people to save him, that's all."

Dong Cheng said with a serious expression.

"What I just can't understand is, where did you learn about this? Could it be that Zifu leaked the secret? But this can't be done either."

"Haha, the uncle doesn't need to think too much. These are all told by my Lord. He has a clever idea. He guessed that the uncle wanted to save the emperor, so he sent me to help him."

Yiji smiled gently and explained.

"Zhang Xiu?" Dong Cheng looked at Yi Ji with a strange look. He didn't believe that this was calculated by Zhang Xiu. This kind of thing can be calculated by outsiders?

Too nonsense, right?

Are you fooling yourself into making fun?

"How to help?" Dong Cheng raised his eyebrows.

Although he was unwilling to let Zhang Xiu join in, Zhang Xiu already knew that Zhang Xiu was not bad at all, so if this person helped him, he would have been easier.

"Simple, my master has put a lot of eyeliner in Xuchang. I didn't plan to use it so early, but if the uncle can trust him, he can help you."

"But, the lean camel is bigger than a horse. Although Xuchang is empty, the favored Xuchang Guard is still not to be underestimated. Is the uncle planning to occupy Xuchang and recruit people to serve the king, or... "

Yi Ji's eyes shone with a gleam.

"Of course, we are recruiting people to serve the king," Dong Cheng did not hesitate, and then said: "The fourth generation and third emperor of Yuan Shao, Hebei, will definitely serve the king after he heard the news."

"Liu Bei in Guanzhong was devoted to the Han Dynasty. After learning the news, he would definitely leave Guanzhong to rescue the emperor and fight to the death with Cao Cao."

"Haha, just out of the wolf's den, did you enter the tiger's den again?" Yi Ji said coldly, "Not to mention whether these two can be rescued, the key is that the two will not come to help the emperor."

"In addition, even if you soldiers and horses occupy Xuchang alone, once Cao Cao returns, you will still be defeated."

Yiji looked contemptuous and said with a sneer.

"Hmph, there are countless great patriots. Once I hold up the banner of King Yi, people with ambition in the world will inevitably gather. Why are they afraid of Cao's thieves?"

Dong Cheng frowned and snorted coldly.

"Haha, come and help Cao Cao fight you? What's more, if the Han Dynasty really had such integrity, how could Cao Cao be imprisoned the emperor without anyone asking?"

"You don't need to deceive yourself, even if you can rebel successfully, you will still be defeated until the reinforcements are supported, and your Dong family will be killed."

Yiji looked at Dong Chengdao closely.

"Then what do you think?" Dong Cheng frowned.

"Teach the emperor and go to Jingzhou." Yi Ji curled a sneer on his lips. Although Zhang Xiu did not mention this, he thought that if he fooled the emperor to Jingzhou, it would be a great achievement.

"My lord governs the world with his talent and virtue, and he respects the emperor very much. Now our lord has taken over Yangzhou, Jing and Yang states with millions of elite soldiers, and more than tens of millions of people."

"If the emperor returns to Jingzhou, who dares not follow the world? If he does not follow, then our lord general will take over the royal flag and pacify the Han people everywhere."

Yi Ji became more and more excited as he spoke, and he faintly described a scene where Dong Cheng was inside and outside the palm of his hand, making achievements for the Han Dynasty, which also made Dong Cheng a little yearning.

"But, this..." Dong Cheng was vaguely moved, "This move is still hundreds of miles away in Jingzhou. Even if the carriages and horses are not stopped, it will take several days. In this way, Cao's army will inevitably intercept and kill them. Wouldn't that be..."

"Haha, no need to worry about it. I think you have much contact with other loyal and righteous people. You should be able to escort the emperor out of Xuchang City, right?"

"Fifty miles southwest of Xuchang City, there is a sand forest with mounds on both sides. The uncle, you only need to take the emperor there, and I will arrange someone to pick him up. How about it?"

Yiji said in a deep voice.

He can currently mobilize only three or five hundred people, and these are still fine works or shops installed in various places, etc., which can be said to be a huge loss in use.

But if the emperor can be welcomed back, everything will be profitable.

He knew that once Cao Cao retreated to Xuzhou, Yuan Shao had four generations and three kings. He was carrying the emperor's righteousness and would probably be unstoppable, so he had to find a way.

Dong Cheng pondered for a long time, and said solemnly: "This matter is of great importance, and I cannot make a decision alone. In this way, Yi Gongcao will go down and rest. I will meet with the other people and discuss the final countermeasures."

"It should be, then I won't bother you. If the uncle thinks clearly, he will send someone to the grocery store next to the Mi family cloth in the city."

Yi Ji smiled gently. He knew that Dong Cheng was tempted and should wait next. I think it won’t take long, and the autumn harvest is about to be around. Xun Yu is busy with government affairs and has no time to take care of him.

After bidding farewell to Yiji, Dong Cheng immediately said, "Bo Wu, please send them a secret message. Remember, if you go there in person, just say I have something to discuss with you."

"No!" the old butler nodded.

......

And at night that day,

Everyone talked about conspiracy for a long time.

In the end, the few people decided to surrender to Zhang Xiu. After all, only Zhang Xiu can protect the emperor's safety at the moment, and Yuan Shao has even bad intentions.

After the decision, Dong Chengze sent someone to the line from Concubine Dong to spread the news to the emperor. He himself began to contact Yiji secretly to discuss the time and prepared to handle the matter in the past two days.
