Chapter 724 The Emperor Ascension
Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan said the truth. They are indeed good at military strategy and strategy. They have led troops to fight and followed Cao Cao for many years. They are also very good at capturing fighter jets during duels. They are also very capable of catching fighter jets. They have nothing to say about one shot. They are indeed a rare talent for generals.
Cao Cao said: "Zixiao and Miaocai, I'll call you two to come tonight. There is something to discuss with you, which is also an urgent matter. You can't be slow."
Xiahou Yuan said: "Brother, what's the matter?"
Cao Cao said: "It's something in the palace."
Cao Ren said: "Little Emperor!"
Cao Cao said: "Son filial and wonderful talent. The little emperor cannot stay. Staying behind will only be a disaster and will have a bad impact on us. After the little emperor stays, some things in the palace will be exposed, and some things will be very unfavorable to our future survival and development. We must silence the little emperor."
It is not surprising that Cao Cao had this idea. After all, Cao Cao had controlled the palace for many years and did a lot of harm to the emperor; especially if Cao Cao stayed overnight in the palace, impolite the palace maids, and promiscuous palaces, it would be a huge blow to Cao Cao's reputation; those things that could not be seen can only disappear forever, otherwise there would be trouble.
Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan are brothers of Cao Cao and are also direct descendants among the direct descendants. They are relatively clear about what Cao Cao did. Of course, they also understand what Cao Cao was worried about, and they also know that the little emperor must die and cannot stay. Cao Cao knows the importance of this without needing to explain it in detail.
Xiahou Yuan said: "Brother, when will you do it?"
Cao Cao said: "Of course, we will take action tonight. Tomorrow, Lu Ning's army will enter the city and not take over the defense. It will not be easy to succeed at that time, and it will be difficult to find an opportunity to take action."
Cao Ren said: "Brother, then you have to ask Ang'er to take away the guards in the palace, otherwise it will cause unnecessary trouble when alarming the guards."
Cao Cao said: "Then let Ang'er withdraw his guards from the palace, leaving only a few soldiers behind, but you two should act quickly and take decisive actions, and you cannot leave any handle."
Xiahou Yuan said: "Brother, then Zixiao and I will make preparations now and find some loyal dead soldiers."
Cao Cao said: "Miaocai, my son is filial. It is best if you two take action. If you really want to use the Dead Soldier, then the insider must also disappear after the action is over. It is better to take action around the fifth day, as the defense will be more relaxed at that time."
Xiahou Yuan said: "Brother, we understand.
At the fifth update, Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren sneaked into the palace without knowing it, and easily chopped off the little emperor's head, and had not alarmed the other eunuchs and palace maids in the palace; of course, the little emperor's concubine was also killed at the same time.
After killing the little emperor, Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan immediately sneaked out of the palace and ran directly into Cao Cao's official residence. Cao Cao was not asleep at this time and was waiting for news.
When Cao Cao heard the guards say that Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan was back, he immediately invited the two of them in.
Cao Cao said: "Has the matter been resolved?"
Xiahou Yuan said: "Brother, everything has been solved."
Cao Cao said, "Then you two will go and rest first!"
Although the operation team sent by Guo Jia and Tian Chou were also on the 5th day of operation, they had to sneak into the palace. Without Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan, they were more familiar with the situation in the palace. After the operation team sneaked into the little emperor's bedroom, they found that the defense in the palace was very relaxed. The little emperor on the dragon bed had moved his head long ago, and I don't know who did it.
When the action team saw that someone had killed the emperor in advance, they didn't know what was going on, so they didn't dare to stay anymore. They immediately returned to the garrison and reported the situation to Guo Jia and Tian Chou.
Guo Jia and Tian Chou have not slept all night and have been waiting for news from Xuchang to come.
Guo Jia and Tian Chou also felt strange after hearing this. Who would have to take the little emperor's life? It must not be from his own side. Only the people in Xuchang City did it, but who would it be? The important officials in the court must not be, was it?
Guo Jia thought for a moment and said, "Zi Tai, it was probably done by Cao Cao."
After hearing this, Tian Chou laughed and said, "Thinking about it, only Cao Cao wants the emperor's life. If the little emperor survives, it will undoubtedly be a thunder on Cao Cao's head. It will explode at any time, and the consequences will be very serious."
Guo Jia said: "The operation team said that the defense in the palace is slack, and only Cao Cao has the ability to do this. After all, the guards in the palace are all soldiers under Cao Cao's command and will only obey Cao Cao's orders."
Tian Chou said: "We are worried about the filial piety. Lao Cao cares more about the emperor's life and death than us? If we had known this, we wouldn't have to worry about it, which would have caused us to not sleep all night."
Guo Jia laughed and said, "Zi Tai, are there other people who haven't fallen asleep tonight? Especially Lao Cao must not sleep. Lao Cao must have just gone to bed at this time!"
Tian Chou smiled bitterly and said, "Fengxiao, I want to take a nap now, and you can rest as well. There is still too much to do tomorrow."
Guo Jia said: "Okay!"
In the next few days, Lu Ning's army took over Xuchang City and reorganized the 100,000 troops under Cao Cao. If they are willing to join the army and can meet the requirements, they will be recruited according to the best. Those who do not meet the requirements or are unwilling to join the army will directly pay the travel expenses and go home. They will be properly resettled in accordance with relevant regulations.
Although the 100,000 troops under Cao Cao were all elite troops under Lao Cao, after choosing according to the requirements of Lu Ning's army, there were only more than 10,000 people who could meet the requirements, and the rest of the soldiers were given travel expenses to go home to farm.
Le Jin, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Cao and others were really shocked to see that Lu Ning's army had such high requirements. No wonder the combat capabilities of Lu Ning's soldiers were so strong, and the requirements for recruiting soldiers were different.
After 100,000 Cao army soldiers, after evaluating archery, weightlifting, long-distance running, there are indeed not many left; and the age limit is also very strict, only people between the ages of 20 and 30 are recruited; of course, those who can ride war horses have the right to choose.
In government affairs, Cao Cao and his civilian officials were even more surprised. Even a peerless man like Xun Yu was very impressed. The civilian officials who followed the army were very concise in their work, with high efficiency, everything was feasible, and everything was done in an orderly manner.
Of course, a large amount of food and grass and various daily necessities were transported into Xuchang City immediately. At the first time, countless merchants opened shops in Xuchang City to meet the materials needed for the production and life of the people in the city and alleviate the shortage of materials in Xuchang City. Although the shortage of materials in Xuchang City, the merchants who came would not raise the price and continued to sell at the corresponding price, and did not seek huge profits.
What made Cao Cao and his subordinates sigh the most was that after Lu Ningjun took over Xuchang, he immediately thoroughly built the roads in Xuchang City and surrounding areas. The speed was too fast, and of course they used raw materials such as cement. It turned out that Cao Cao could not buy them from Lu Ning and could not get the technology. Now, the roads are all built with cement. What makes the people happier is that the large number of constructions of various water conservancy facilities will benefit the people!
Liu Fu said: "Is Lu Ning really rich? He just took over and carried out such large-scale infrastructure construction such as highways, water conservancy, etc. without even considering it, and just opened the construction."
Xun Yu said: "After a while, you will be even more amazed. The infrastructure construction under Lu Ning's rule is extremely perfect. All roads lead to the county town. There are many places that even the villages have highways. There are schools in every village, and all children go to school for free. You will be even more shocked when you see those."
