Chapter 199: The Courtiers of Internal Security

"Xu Capital City is broken, how can this be good!"

In the south of Xudu City, in the midst of Cao Cao's match, after hearing the roar that resounded through the world outside, the officials of the court were full of horror.

When he knew that Liang Xing, the general under Li Dao, led an army of 5,000 to attack Xudu, Cao Ang gathered all of them together in the name of escorting the departure of the hundred officials and the Son of Heaven.

And with a delay in the middle of the way, after Liang Xing had already detained the customs under the city of Xudu, Cao Ang directly placed them in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and forcibly kept them on the grounds that it was extremely chaotic outside the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The reason for this is precisely to eliminate the possibility of officials in Xudu City and Liang Xingli cooperating with outsiders.

It's just that many officials are not clear about such an arrangement, and they think that Cao Ang is to protect them, and they do not have much rejection.

At this time, after hearing the loud shouts of killing outside, these officials also turned into ants on a hot pot, and they didn't know what to do.

Among the panicked and frightened officials, only a few of them had normal faces, and they did not show any worries.

These people include General Wei Dong Cheng and his protégés, as well as Liu Xie, the son of heaven!

At this time, after they heard the shouting of Liang Xing's army in Xudu City, not only did they not show their horror, but there was also a little joy in each other's eyes, as if they were extremely looking forward to such a result.

It's just because this Liang Xing's 5,000 soldiers are the means they brought in to attack Xu Du and let the Son of Heaven get rid of the control of the Cao family!

Seeing that Xu Ducheng had been captured, Liu Xie knew that it was time for him to go out, so he immediately said loudly to the hundred officials.

"Don't panic, Aiqing, this Liang Xing is under Li Dao, when he was in Chang'an before, I had a bit of friendship with Li Dao, as long as I personally went out, I would definitely ask him to return to the Han family, and I would never dare to make any changes!"

After saying a word, many ministers in the court also nodded at this time, how could they not understand that the target of Liang Xing's army attacking the city was the Son of Heaven in front of him.

Seeing that Liu Xie planned to take the initiative to persuade Liang Xing and his foot riders, these courtiers also made statements at this time.

"Your Majesty is wise and martial, after Liang Xing sees Your Majesty, he will not dare to resist any more!"

"We are willing to go with Your Majesty!"

Although Xu Ducheng is broken, the Son of Heaven and the hundred officials of the Han Dynasty will not suffer because of this, as long as Li Dao Guo Yan has the heart to hold the Son of Heaven to follow Dong Zhuo's example, they will definitely not have any reason.

Therefore, some wall grasses who were originally loyal to Liu Xie, or who were just greedy for life and afraid of death, also changed their attitudes at this time, and planned to follow Liu Xie to meet Liang Xing.

Finally, Cao Cao's hundred officials on the side saw this scene in their eyes, and their faces also showed a deep disdain, but it was not good to say anything at this time.

Just as this group of court officials revealed their original colors, intending to continue to bring the Son of Heaven to Liang Xing, an extremely harsh voice came.

"Li Dao Guo Yan is Dong Zhuo's old department, you brought the Son of Heaven to meet them, wouldn't you push the Son of Heaven to Dong Zhuohu again?"

When this prime minister's mansion was full of flattery, such words were uttered, and many officials in the entire prime minister's mansion sounded quite harsh.

Looking along the place where the voice came from, I saw a girl with an elegant demeanor and a frosty face, who did not look very old, slowly walked in.

This girl is none other than Liu Qin, the princess of ten thousand years who has fallen to Cao Ang's camp!

At this time, seeing the princess of Wannian walk out, many courtiers also showed surprise, because not long ago, they got the news that the princess of Wannian had her fate hanging by a thread.

But at this time, seeing her red lips and white teeth, her face was bloody, and the words she said were also full of confidence, where was she still a little critically ill!

After being surprised, these courtiers also showed shame on their faces, just because they knew that what Liu Qin said was not unreasonable.

Seeing that these officials were ashamed, Princess Wannian spoke even more firmly at this time.

"Since Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, the princes of the world have risen together, and wars have continued in various places, and my Han family has always been like a flat boat in the wind and rain, and can only go with the flow."

"It was Prime Minister Cao Cheng who relied on his own strength to help the general of the building and turn the tide of the tide, which is why there is the current Xu Du!"

"At present, Cao Gongzi is fighting a bloody battle with the rebels, in order to consolidate the soldiers of the Han family and prevent the Son of Heaven from suffering! But the garrison wants to abandon Xudu like abandoning Luoyang, do you still want someone to send you hot soup? ”

After such a reprimand, the courtiers who had previously proposed to let the Son of Heaven go out to win over Liang Xing also showed shame on their faces.

Not only them, but even Liu Xie, the son of heaven, also showed a deep displeasure on his face after hearing such words.

At that time, he fled from Chang'an back to the dilapidated old capital Luoyang, hungry and thirsty all the way, but after arriving in Luoyang, he was extremely disappointed.

When Liu Xie thought that he was going to die soon, it was Cao Cao who came to greet him Liu Xie and brought him a bowl of steaming broth.

At present, Liu Qin, the princess of ten thousand years, mentioned this matter, although she was scolding the hundred officials, but she was euphemistically reminding Liu Xie not to forget his roots.

After Liu Xie heard such words, his face was also extremely ugly, but he couldn't say any words to refute at this time.

It's not just because these hundred officials have been moved by their own royal sister, but because their own imperial sister is still with a team of soldiers and horses behind her!

In the city of Xudu, there are no soldiers of Liu Xie, and this team of soldiers and horses is naturally the soldiers of the Cao family.

Seeing these people following his royal sister, Liu Xie could see at a glance that perhaps his imperial sister had betrayed him.

The officials of the court, who were already ready to move in their hearts, after hearing the words of the princess Liu Qin at this time, they showed shame one by one and did not dare to mention this matter again.

And the officials who were loyal to Cao Cao next to them also spoke one after another at this time, expressing their attitude.

"Xuchang is the capital of the Son of Heaven, we naturally have no reason to abandon the capital, even if the rebels enter the city, we will resist desperately, and we will sacrifice our lives in the near future!"

Compared with the courtiers who were loyal to Liu Xie, there were naturally more courtiers who fell to Cao Cao's side, and after hearing such words at this time, they also made a statement.

"I'm willing to defend Xudu City to the death!"

Seeing that these restless officials had also been calmed down at this time, the face of the 10,000-year-old princess Liu Qin eased, and then continued to speak.

"All the gentlemen are the pillars of the court, so naturally they will not let you be in danger, Cao Gongzi is worried about your safety, so he sent a team of soldiers and horses to protect you."
