Chapter 647
,,,,,,,,,,,,
Fan Pu left, and at this time, the censor Xi Lu also rushed to Cao Pi's study. Xi Lu has always been Cao Cao's confidant and served as a military officer under the tent for a long time. Before Cao Cao established the State of Wei, Xi Lu served as the imperial censor, speculating that Cao Cao's intentions were to demote court officials. The most famous one was that Xi Lu impeached Kong Rong and slandered the court, trying to make mistakes, which led to Kong Rong being killed.
At this time, although Xi Lu and Hua Xin served as the chief censor, the two were still different. Xi Lu was the chief censor of the court and held the power of supervision of the court. Hua Xin was the chief censor of the Wei State. Although the real power was in the hands of Hua Xin, Xi Lu's responsibility was to monitor the court officials for Cao Cao. When dealing with Fu Wan, Xi Lu had to come forward.
Cao Pi and the two discussed countermeasures in the official room. They were about to raise troops tonight, and Cao Pi decided not to wait anymore. At this time, Xi Lu asked carefully: "The eldest son has the will of Duke Wei."
Cao Pi understood Xi Lu's meaning. This matter was of great importance. He wanted to not act without permission himself and needed his father's permission. Cao Pi nodded and said, "Before my father went to war, he told me about this, so that I could act according to the opportunity. In times of crisis, he could use the power of thunder to prevent it before it happened."
"Then you have the power to mobilize troops," Xi Lu continued to ask.
Cao Pi took out two gold medals and smiled: "One is the order of the imperial guards in the palace, and the other is the order of the Beicheng Guards. My father has already considered it for me."
Xi Lu nodded and smiled, "Since that's the case, I have no worries."
Cao Pi asked Hua Xin again, "What about fish's idea?"
Hua Xin said slowly: "I mean to make sure the evidence is conclusive and to confirm this case. Since Fu Wan raised a thousand private troops, we should conquer Fu Wan for rebellion. The eldest son, the gentle minister, only one sentence, power struggle has always been a life-and-death battle, and the Prime Minister would never want to see the eldest son benevolent at this time."
Cao Pi was shocked, he nodded, and said resolutely: "You are right. I must not let my father down anymore. Let's divide the troops. I personally lead the army outside the city to wipe out Fuwan's private army. Yu led the army to surround Fuwan's mansion and captured Fuwan, and Hongyu went to the palace to capture Fuwan's after."
As night gradually fell, in a farm covering an acre of land outside Yedu City, the Thousand Arms soldiers had already gathered together. The Thousand Arms soldiers were private soldiers raised by Fu Wan and had been hiding in Lu County. Until recently, they came to Yedu one after another in batches, and are now commanded by Fu Wan Chang Fu Dian.
Fu Dian was about forty years old and was appointed as the lieutenant of the Tunqi. He firmly supported his father's idea of being loyal to the emperor and also supported this action. They had planned this action for a year and received support from four counties including Lu County, Taishan, Peiguo and other counties in the local area. At the same time, they had 10,000 troops in Lu County.
Tonight they will kill into the palace to rescue the emperor Liu Xie and Empress Fu, and send them to Lu County overnight. They will rebuild the Han Dynasty in Lu County, and then call on the guards of the world to rush to Mount Tai to serve the king and kill Cao.
Although Fu Dian knew that this move was difficult, now was their only chance. Cao Cao fought in Jingzhou, and the 200,000 main forces were restrained by Liu Jing in Guanzhong and Longxi. There were only 10,000 troops in the capital. If they acted quickly, they could break through before Cao's army was mobilized. If they did not seize this opportunity, they would regret it too late.
The army had already assembled, and Fu Dian was waiting for news from the capital. They were going to enter Yedu from Dongcheng. Liu Ying, the gatekeeper in charge of Dongcheng Gate, was also theirs. Time gradually reached the hour of Hai, and the agreed time was up. At this time, Fan Pu rode a horse and rushed to Fu Dian and said, "Donald, the city has been prepared, Fu Dian ordered Duke to send troops."
Fu Dian nodded, and the moment finally came. He pulled out his long sword and turned around and said, "Tell me my order, set out, and march towards Yedu."
In the night, a group of soldiers lined up. They were brightly armoured and held spears and swords in their hands, and were full of murderous aura. Under Fu Dian's leadership, they left the farm and drove along the official road towards the East City Gate of Yedu.
The city gatekeeper who guarded Dongcheng was named Liu Ying, who was about ten years old. He was Liu Jinzhi, the king of Laiyang. Liu Jin and Fu Wan had a close relationship. The reason why Fu Wan received the support of the four counties in Shandong was also related to Liu Jin. Most of the Han royal families lived at home or were scattered in various counties. There were few people in charge of the army in the capital. This Liu Ying was one of them.
Liu Ying and Fu Dian have already arranged the arrangements. He is on duty in Dongcheng tonight, and Fu Dian will raise troops tonight. Liu Ying has five men. After Fu Dian enters the city, he will rush to Fu Mansion and escort Fu Wan and his family out of the city.
The hour was almost at the hour of Hai. In another half an hour, Fu Dian would lead his army. Liu Ying was quite nervous and stood at the head of the city and looked northeast. At this moment, a commotion suddenly came from behind him. Liu Ying was stunned. Looking back, he saw a large number of troops suddenly appeared on the head of the city. He was immediately surprised. What's going on.
A large group of soldiers guarded two generals wearing armor and helmets, one of whom was Xiahou Heng, the general of the Northern City Guard, and Xiahou Yuan, and the other made Liu Ying's heart fall into the abyss. The general beside Xiahou Heng was Cao Pi.
Cao Pi wore armor and held a battle sword in his hand, walked up and said coldly: "What are General Liu waiting for?"
Liu Ying gritted his teeth and saluted, "I didn't wait for anything, I was patrolling the city gate."
"Hmph, are you waiting for Fudian"
Liu Ying's face changed drastically. He knew that the situation had been leaked, so he turned around and was about to run away. Dozens of soldiers held up their halberds and pushed him. Liu Ying was weak all over and sat slowly on the ground. Cao Pi waved his hand and said, "Tie him."
Several soldiers stepped forward to tie up Liu Ying, and Cao Pi said to Xiahou Heng again: "Let's divide our troops and move. You ambush under the city, I'll wait on the city, let's catch this big fish together."
"Abide by the order"
Xiahou Heng led 10,000 North City Guards to run outside the city. Cao Pi walked to the battlement, looked at the dark night, and said coldly to himself: "Rats who are overestimating their abilities, die."
Fu Mansion is located in the middle of Yedu. It is a large mansion covering an area of 50 acres. Fu Wan was the son-in-law of the late emperor and the current father-in-law. He has a high status in the court. In fact, as early as the Dong Cheng incident in the fourth year of Jian'an, he was also a participant. However, he was cautious and only had a secret contact with Dong Cheng. After Dong Cheng was executed, he escaped.
This time was his last attempt when he was nearly sixty years old. No matter whether he succeeded or failed, he would be recorded in history and left his name in the world. He was unwilling to pass away in obscurity. He had already reached the stage of obsessiveness of winning the name behind him, and even used his family as a bet. He knew that his chances of success were small, but he did it without hesitation.
At this time, Fu Wan, who was gray-haired, sat in the study, silently staring at more than a dozen historical records on the table. He longed for his name to be remembered forever in the biography of loyal ministers in later Han history.
It should be time to raise troops. Fu Wan took a deep breath and waited for the arrival of that moment, but at this moment, a rapid run came from outside the door. The housekeeper reported in horror: "Master, Hua Xin led a thousand troops into the mansion. His wife and several men were arrested by the soldiers."
Fu Wan's body shook suddenly, and his eyes showed a look of fear. After a while, he slowly closed his eyes. The moment he was most worried about finally came. Cao Cao was prepared for them, and they failed.
"Ah" A scream came from outside the door. The housekeeper was killed outside. With a loud bang, the door was kicked open. Dozens of soldiers rushed in, surrounded him, and dozens of spears held him back.
At this time, Hua Xin walked into the study with his hands behind his back, smiled at Fu Wan with a gloomy smile and said, "Fu Guobain, you can't imagine it."
Fu Wan sighed and asked calmly: "When did you know?"
"I won't hide it from you now. As early as a year ago, when Liu Xie summoned you in the palace, the Prime Minister knew about it and had been waiting for today."
Fu Wan shook his head and sighed, "Planning is up to people, and success is up to heaven. This is God's will."
After saying that, he smiled miserably, took out a small bottle from his sleeve, drank the poison in the bottle, poured it on his back to the ground, quietly waiting for the arrival of death.
Hua Xin walked up to him and kicked over a dozen volumes of historical records on the table. The bamboo slips were scattered all over the ground. Hua Xin smiled disdainfully and whispered in his ear: "The father-in-law can indeed be famous for his eternal generations, but it is not a loyal minister, but a treacherous man. I promise."
The toxicity began to occur quickly. Fu Wan twitched all over, and blood flowed from the corners of his mouth. He said weakly: "With Liu Jing, I will not be a treacherous person." After saying that, he closed his eyes and passed away.
"crazy"
Hua Xin kicked him hard and ordered: "Take everyone away"
In the palace, Emperor Liu Xie and Empress Fu sat opposite each other and drank. They had already cleaned up and were ready to follow Fu Wan's army to leave the palace. Liu Xie seemed quite excited and drank one glass after another.
He has been a puppet for so many years and has always hoped that today, he could break away from Cao Cao's control and become a real emperor. Although there would be risks, in order to gain freedom, he would rather take such risks.
Seeing that Queen Fu seemed a little worried, he smiled and said, "The Queen doesn't have to worry like this. When Dong Zhuo and Li Kui were in chaos, we suffered ten times the pain we have suffered now. We are wandering and in danger. Although it is a bit risky now, it is the best opportunity. If we don't seize this opportunity, we will regret it."
Queen Fu whispered: "I just think my father is unreliable in doing things. Can we resist Cao Cao's massive attack even if we escape to Lu County?"
"You don't understand this. Now Liu Jing is heading north of Longxi, restraining Cao Cao's 200,000 troops, and Cao Cao himself led a 100,000 troops to fight in Jingzhou. And when I heard the news, the Jiangdong army broke through Hefei, the Central Plains was shocked. It can be said that Cao Cao lost all his eyes and was in a state of great difficulty. If we don't seize this opportunity, this generation will not be able to leave. Does the queen really want to be a puppet for me for the rest of his life?"
Queen Fu lowered her head and whispered: "I don't want to."
"That's right, no one wants to. Even if I take a huge risk this time, I will give it a try."
As soon as the two of them said here, the guards suddenly heard anger from outside the palace, "Doctor Xi, what are you going to do, this is Your Majesty's bedroom. Do you want to rebel with a knife?"
Liu Xie and Queen Fu looked at each other, and their faces changed in shock. Doctor Xi was Xi Lu, who was Cao Cao's confidant. What did he do? Only when he heard Xi Lu whisper loudly outside the palace: "Fu Wan attempted to rebel, but he has been killed. His daughter Fu Shou is also suspected of rebellion. She is ordered by the Prime Minister to arrest her. Who dares to stop her? Ask her accomplice for being punished?"
Liu Xie felt a thunder in his mind. Fu Wan was killed. After that, the plot must have been leaked. What should I do if Queen Fu heard that her father was killed, she burst into tears and knelt in front of Liu Xie, "Please save your life."
