"What's going on?" Cao Cao could no longer remain calm when he heard that Xuchang had changed. He asked anxiously.

"Prime Minister, this is Xun Gong's expedited document!" Liu Ye stepped forward and presented a silk book to Cao Cao. "The father-in-law Fu Wan colluded with the sanqi Changqi Changshi Changshi Wei Huang, the lieutenant of Changshui Wu Jian, and the counselor Jin Yi suddenly rebelled on the occasion of the emperor's birthday.

After the incident, there were also minister Lu Yu, secretary Liu Zhu, grandson Liu Zhu, grandson Zhou Xuan and others who followed the bandits to rebel. After the rebels occupied Xuchang but failed, they took the emperor to Wuping (a county in Qiao County, Yuzhou). "

"Not good!" Jia Xu thought for a moment and said in surprise, "Prime Minister, Fu Wan and other rebels are preparing to go south to join Liu Bei. Wuping is adjacent to Yingshui. Once Liu Bei sends his navy troops to support him, Fu Wan and others are very likely to successfully defect to the emperor."

Although the Han emperor had no real power and his prestige has been greatly reduced in recent years, this is still an extremely important tool for Cao Cao.

With the emperor, there is a great reputation.

Although the Han Dynasty had declined, it is undeniable that a large number of scholars and scholars were still loyal to the Han emperor. Moreover, unlike the southern scholars who had a strong sense of peace, the northern scholars under Cao Cao valued the great righteousness of the emperor more.

Under Cao Cao's command, there are many talents who care about the Han Dynasty but are outstanding in talent. Even Cao Cao's number one helper Xun Yu and Xun Wenruo is such a person.

Otherwise, there would not be so many courtiers following this uprising.

No matter how powerful Cao Cao is in the court and the people, as long as he has the emperor in his hands, Cao Cao can gather these talents in his own hands. Once the emperor escapes or even escapes under Liu Bei's rule, it will be a nightmare for Cao Cao.

Just imagine, if Liu Bei summoned officials and officials loyal to the Han Dynasty to go south in the name of the emperor, Cao Cao would probably not be able to come up with any effective way except for threatening with force.

(Note: When Cao Pi replaced the Han Dynasty in history, Cao Cao had been operating in the north for more than 20 years. His foundation had long been solid, and those who had influential opposition to the replacement of the Han Dynasty, such as Xun Yu, Xun You, and Cui Yan, had been forced to death by Cao Cao one after another.

More importantly, after more than twenty years, most of the generation loyal to the Han Dynasty had passed away, or had been transformed by ideas. It can be said that by the time Cao Pi replaced the Han Dynasty, the resistance had been basically eliminated by Cao Cao first. But in this book, the situation is very different.

Cao Cao pacified the north for less than three years, and his foundation was far from being stable. The emperor was still very important to him)

What's more, Cao Cao, the position of prime minister who is powerful in the court and the country, may also be lost. If the emperor succeeds in fleeing south, he will inevitably rebuild the court in Jingyang, and the prime minister who acts in the government will not be away from the capital.

By then, Cao Cao could not abandon his foundation in the north and "exercise" the prime minister's power under Liu Bei's rule. Then he could only serve as prime minister.

Without this series of status, how could Cao Cao attract talents to come and surrender? Unlike Liu Bei, Cao Cao was neither a relative of the imperial family nor such a good reputation.

"What is Cao Xiu doing for food? He asked him to command Xuchang affairs, but he made several rebels turn things around. Even the emperor was forced out of Xuchang!" Cao Cao was angry and threw the silk book in his hand out of Xuchang, slapped the table heavily with his right hand.

He roared angrily with a pale face.

In fact, even Xun Yu cursed in Cao Cao's words. After all, Cao Xiu was only in charge of the army, and Xun Yu was the real person in charge.

However, Xun Yu suffered a disaster. A few days before Fu Wan and others got up, Xun Yu was bedridden due to cold and was unable to manage the matters of Xuchang. He was in charge of the Wei Wei Dong Zhao and Cao Pi.

Because of the Emperor's birthday, Xuchang was busy. Fu Wan and others' preparations for uprising were covered up.

Cao Xiu was actually also affected by others. Cao Xiu originally divided the troops and horses in his hands into two, and patrolled Xuchang every six hours.

Among them, Cao Xiu was responsible for one round, and his confidant Wang Bibi was responsible for the other round, and this king must have a good relationship with Jin Yi, the counselor of the revenge.

That night, Wang Bi happened to be patrolling the patrol. Jin Yi invited him into the mansion on the pretext of having something important, and detained him if he failed to lobby.

Wu Jian, the Changshui lieutenant who obtained the Wang Bibian Talisman, pretended that someone in the city planned to rebel and rebelled, and Wang Bi was injured by an assassin and had fainted. Before Wang Bi fainted, he "entrusted" Wu Jian to lead the patrol troops to suppress the "rebellion".

One of the patrol soldiers was originally from Changshui Camp, and the military talisman was in the hands of Wu Jian, and the city was indeed in chaos at this time. In the end, Wu Jian temporarily deceived the patrol soldiers and horses.

Later, for a long time, this army actually became the support of Fu Wan and others to uprising, creating a huge obstacle to the quelling of the "rebellion".

Because Fu Wan and others are still secretive in their actions, when the accident suddenly arose, Cao Pi and Dong Zhao were immediately caught off guard.

Fu Wan and others first step was to control the palace. After obtaining the emperor's edict, they called Cao Cao a powerful traitor and usurpated the minister, and ordered all officials in the capital to eliminate the thieves. A court official led by Lu Yu and Liu Zhu was also dissatisfied with Cao Cao, and when he saw someone starting to start, he led the troops to respond.

As a result, the chaos of internal wars in Xuchang became like snowballs, and the scale became larger and larger.

Except for the shrewd court officials of the young men who hid in the mansion and stayed in the door to escape the chaos that might lead to the family destruction, more than half of the officials were actually involved.

The situation was completely out of control. Cao Pi, Cao Xiu and others even wanted to give up Xuchang for the time being. They first took the Cao family and the families of other important officials and generals to take refuge, and then asked Cao Cao to lead his army back to quell the rebellion.

At the most difficult time, Xun Yu, who was sick, appeared in front of Cao Pi and others with his sick body.

After understanding the situation, Xun Yu had an extremely firm attitude and opposed withdrawing from Xuchang.

Under Xun Yu's plan, Cao Xiu summoned Cao Zhang, Cao Tai (son of Cao Ren), Cao Bin (son of Cao Zhen), Xiahou Chong (son of Xiahou Dun), Xiahou Ba and other family members of the Cao clan to command the local soldiers in their respective palaces, and a group of troops still under Cao Xiu's control, and fought resolutely with the "rebels".

At the same time, Xun Yu, as the Minister of State, issued a notice to Xuchang's civil and military officials, and ordered everyone to return to his mansion immediately. Anyone who still remains outside will be killed for the crime of rebellion.

Under Xun Yu's series of effective measures, the situation gradually reversed. Especially when the patrol troops bewitched by Wu Jian figured out the situation and returned to Cao Xiu's command, Fu Wan and others' hope of seizing Xuchang was completely lost.

As a last resort, Fu Wan, Lu Yu and others fled from Xuchang with the emperor, and Wu Jianze led all the ministers and family soldiers to be responsible for the guards behind the palace.

Because the situation in Xuchang is still very unstable and people are extremely uneasy. In addition, the soldiers and horses suffered heavy losses in the melee, Xun Yu stopped Cao Xiu from chasing him and urgently condemned the fast horses 300 miles in a hurry to inform Cao Cao of the situation. At the same time, he sent the fast horses to Qing, Xu and Yan states, and ordered the chief officials of the three states to work together to intercept Fu Wan and his party.

.

After being extremely angry, Cao Cao gradually calmed down and thought about countermeasures.

"The Prime Minister, the most urgent task now is to stabilize the situation in Xudu and save the emperor. Other wars seem insignificant compared to both.

"Although Jia Xu knew that the rebellion was probably known to the emperor, and even he instructed Fu Wan and others to do it, the emperor was most likely to escape from Xuchang, but Jia Xu still used the word "save".

"Mr. Jia is right!" Liu Ye nodded and said, "The emperor must not be slow. Once Liu Bei knows this and sends the Ganning Navy to help him, the emperor may be swept south by the rebels and flee south into Yangzhou.

And the seal is also in the hands of the traitor.”

"Zi Yang, immediately send a letter to me Yuan Rang and Xuan Gao (Zang Ba), and ordered them not to be entangled with Yun Chang and Wei Yan, and each retreated 50 miles away.

After leaving behind the guardians, Yuan Rang sent cavalry to the Xiyang and Wuping areas, and did not allow Fu Wan and other bandits to move south from Yingshui. Xuan Gao immediately sent a group of troops back to the hinterland of Qing and Xu prefectures to strictly prevent the harassment of Gansu.

"After a while, Cao Cao made up his mind and said to Liu Ye in a deep voice, "Sending the letter to Zi Xiao, Junyi and Boning, he ordered them to act according to their previous plans and seize Jingbei with all their might. He sent the letter to Miaocai, so that he must drag Zhang Fei to Hanzhong."

After a pause, Cao Cao remembered something again and said to Liu Ye who was about to leave: "By the way, Zi Yang! Get ready for the itinerary. After an hour, we will set off and return to Xudu."

"Ye understands!" Liu Ye bowed and left quickly after bowing.

After giving a series of orders, Cao Cao's expression on his face did not relax at all, and he frowned and thought about something.

"Wenhe, what do you think about this?" Cao Cao asked in a deep voice when he looked up at Jia Xu.

"Prime Minister, I always feel that this Xuchang rebellion is not that simple!" Jia Xu said slowly, holding the sparse goatee beard under his chin, "Cheng, as soon as he discovered that Fu Wan and others' plan for rebellion can be said to be quite perfect. Even if Xu is asked to plan, he may not be able to make a better plan than this.

First of all, the Prime Minister was not in Xudu. Xiahou fought east (General Xiahou Dun of the East), fought west (General Xiahou Yuan of the West), Cao Zhendong (Cao Ren) and other soldiers were not in Xudu.

In addition, the Prime Minister's army is currently fighting with Liu Bei on the fourth line, and Xu Du's troops are empty, which can be said to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Secondly, it is really difficult to detect when taking advantage of the loopholes in and out of Xu Du's birthday.

Furthermore, he used tricks to steal nearly half of Xu Du's command power. If he succeeded, he could control Xu Du. Even if he failed, he would greatly damage the strength of Xu Du's troops and was unable to pursue him.

In addition, when he found out that something was wrong, he decisively fled to Xudu, and the direction he escaped was near Yingshui.

All of these can illustrate the perfection of the rebellion plan. Although Xu cannot determine who planned this plan, it is definitely not something that Fu Wan and Geng Ji and others can think of.

Apart from the people under the Prime Minister, the only people who can come up with such a plan are probably Xu Shu, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and others under Liu Bei's tent."
