Chapter 178: The Struggle for Rights

PS: Thank you for the tip!

"Okay, Wen Ruo, no matter what, isn't it walking towards a good place so far."

Cao Cao, who was smiling on his face, did not tell Xun Yu that although he was indeed taking risks, it did not mean that there was no backhand, and that backhand was to retreat into the North Palace, in the name of protecting the Son of Heaven, to hijack the Son of Heaven.

The rebellion of Dong Cheng and others, although it was said that it was for the Han Dynasty and the Son of Heaven, although it cannot be ruled out that this reason occupied part of it, but the real reason was because of the struggle for power.

And there is only one person who can give them power, and that is Liu Xie, the Son of Heaven, so these people are more afraid than Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will kill the Son of Heaven regardless of it.

Therefore, even if Cao Cao, Dian Wei, and Xu Chu failed to break through the Deyang Hall in the end, not to mention the Cao army that was about to arrive, even if it was not, as long as they retreated to the North Palace, not to mention anything else, it would be easy to gain some time.

After waving his hand to let the healer who had redressed his wound retreat, Cao Cao stood up and said to Xun Yu, who had a helpless expression on his face: "Wen Ruo, what are the arrangements for other places?" ”

"Having said that, but my lord, no matter what, please don't do such a risky act today in the future!" Although Xun Yu still has a lot of complaints about Cao Cao's adventure this time, but in any case, Cao Cao is the king, and Xun Yu can only persuade and have no way to be tough.

And there is a sentence that Cao Cao said is very right, so far, every qiē is in a good place, so Xun Yu in addition to finally persuading Cao Cao, he gave up his hand to answer Cao Cao's question: "Back to the lord, General Cao Ren and General Xiahoudun have each brought 50,000 troops to guard the entrance and exit gates of the north and south palaces, Dong Cheng and others are rebellious, this time they will definitely not escape from the entire palace!" ”

"Well, okay, okay, Wen Ruo, you immediately go down and prepare, in the name of the Son of Heaven, issue an edict, beat Dong Cheng and others as rebels, and kill the nine clans, after this edict is completed, it will be passed on to the world immediately."

"Humble command!"

After Xun Yu surrendered his hand and retreated, Cao Cao looked at Dian Wei and Xu Chu on the side and said, "Zhong Kang, Dian Wei, you and I will lead the army to the North Palace and meet the Son of Heaven." ”

"No!"

Cao Cao led Dian Wei, Xu Chu and about 3,000 Cao soldiers and soldiers to the North Palace, and Xu Huang on the other side also led nearly 30,000 Cao soldiers and soldiers to the outside of Deyang Palace.

Through the gate of the Deyang Hall that was smashed, and seeing the panicked scene in it, Xu Huang snorted coldly, waved the big axe in his hand, and ordered: "The whole army listens to the order, kill the rebel, kill!" ”

"Kill~~"

30,000 black-clothed and black-armored Cao soldiers armed with spears and ring-headed knives, under the leadership of Xu Huang, quickly rushed into the Deyang Palace.

Such a quick pacification of the rebels not only did not make Xu Huang's face have a trace of joy, but was very gloomy, because the head of the rebels, Dong Cheng and others, were no longer in the Deyang Palace at all, and what remained in the Deyang Hall was just a group of abandoned pawns who had been abandoned and those wall-grass ministers who had escaped by luck.

"General, we have searched the entire Deyang Hall inside and outside, and we have not found any rebellious shadows of Dong Cheng and the others."

Xu Huang, who had a gloomy face, said with a not very good-looking face after hearing the words of this Cao military captain: "If it is not near the Deyang Palace, then only the North Palace will be left, and the herald, in addition to leaving three thousand soldiers to guard the Deyang Palace, the rest will go to the North Palace with the general, even if the entire North Palace is turned upside down, Dong Cheng and others must be found!" ”

"No!"

As the emperor's resting place, the North Palace should be a solemn and inviolable forbidden place, but with the sunset of the Han Dynasty and the low power of the Han Emperor, this North Palace does not have the majesty that its predecessors should have.

The north palace of the Han Imperial Palace, although the palaces contained are not as many as the south palace, but there are also 23 palaces, among which there are Tianlu Palace, Zhangtai Palace, Hande Palace, Shou'an Palace, Zhangde Palace, Yongning Palace, etc., and the connection between the north and south palaces is a wide compound road.

The former Han Tianzi came out of the North Palace, passed through the Middle East Gate, and finally entered the South Palace, and held a court meeting in the Dynasty, but at this moment, this was originally only the Han Dynasty to use the Fu Dao, but was trampled under the feet of a black-clothed and black-armored Cao soldier, accompanied by the collision of armor and footsteps, the Cao Army banner with gold characters on a black background, entered the North Palace, the private residence of the Son of Heaven, for the first time.

"On the way, they have all been searched carefully by the general, the twenty-three palaces of the North Palace, none of them can be let go, I know that Dong Cheng and others have been searched!"

"Yes! Checkmate. ”

More than 20,000 Cao soldiers, under Xu Huang's order, scattered and rushed into the palaces of all sizes in the North Palace, and the maids and eunuchs who originally lived in the North Palace were panicked and wanted to flee here, but for this, Xu Huang gave a ruthless killing order: "Order, all the maids and eunuchs who want to escape here will be killed!" ”

"Don't, let me go, let me go, ah!"

"Heroes, generals, let go of the slaves, let the slaves go, ······"

"General, let the little girl go, the little woman is just a little servant, please, I don't want to die, I don't want to, I don't want to, I ······" "······"

In the face of the threat of death, these eunuchs and maids who had lived in the North Palace for a long time were colorless in fear, kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy, but no matter how they said good words, or like some maids, they used their bodies to tempt, as long as they had any tendency to escape, they were greeted by the indifferent and ruthless spears and ring-headed knives of Cao Junjun.

This scene is the scene that Cao Cao saw after leading Dian Wei and Xu Chu to 3,000 Cao soldiers, Cao Cao was completely indifferent to this, after all, Cao Cao also understood why Xu Huang was like this, after all, no one could guarantee that among the eunuchs and maids who wanted to escape, there were no Dong Cheng's people, and Cao Cao didn't want to fall short at the last step.

Without Cao Cao's stopping, of course, this scene continued, in a short period of time, nearly 100 eunuchs and maids died under the swords and guns of Cao's soldiers, and this is the tragic consequences of the ancient power struggle, for these eunuchs and maids, they may be completely afraid and want to escape, but inexplicably caught in the struggle for the rights of the two parties, the end ushered in, often death.
