There is no airtight wall in the world. Cao Cao's words were so angry that they quickly reached Xun You's ears.

Xun You followed Cao Cao for decades and knew that he was cruel and ruthless. When he remembered his uncle Xun Yu's fate, he became ill and became worried and angry. He died of illness for more than ten days and died at the age of fifty-eight.

After Xun You's death, Cao Cao was very sad and ordered a grand burial.

Seeing that there were fewer and fewer counselors following him in the past, Cao Cao felt more and more unbearable. Every time he talked about Xun You, he was filled with tears.

Xun You, the Shangshu Ling, who was outstanding in his merits, was not spared because he said something against Cao Cao. Since then, the ministers of the court have no voices of opposing Cao Cao.

Cao Cao could no longer find dissidents from the court officials, so he temporarily gave up the reward of the King of Wei.

On that day, the three sisters Cao Xian, Cao Jie and Cao Hua, who had been named noble in the palace, came back together to visit their father. The family was filled with joy.

Because of her father, the Cao sisters were very favored in the palace, especially the gentle, virtuous and understanding second daughter Cao Jie was deeply loved by Emperor Xian of Han. Although she was also named a noble person, her status in the palace was only below the Queen Fushou.

Seeing the happy smiles of the daughters, Cao Cao was very happy and suddenly remembered the position of queen he had planned for a long time. Now the time is ripe, so he is ready to start.

In the fifth year of Jian'an, due to the robbery incident, Cao Cao killed Emperor Xian's uncle, General Dong Cheng, the chariot and cavalry.

Dong Cheng's daughter was a noble person in the palace, and Cao Cao asked Emperor Xian to kill Dong.

Emperor Xian of Han believed that Concubine Dong was pregnant and repeatedly asked Cao Cao to forgive him for his death. However, Cao Cao believed that Dong Cheng was a serious crime of treason and could not be forgiven and insisted on beheading him. Concubine Dong could not be spared.

Empress Fu got along very well with Guiren Dong. After seeing this situation, she thought that the emperor had completely become a puppet and she was in danger of being in danger. From then on, she was afraid.

So Fu Shou wrote a letter to her father Fu Wan, telling the fierce appearance of Cao Cao cruelly forcing Emperor Xian in the palace, and asking her father to contact loyal people and secretly map to eradicate Cao Cao.

Fu Shou was made the queen by Emperor Xian of Han Liu Xie, and Fu Wan was promoted to Jinwu, and was appointed as the general of the auxiliary country, and Yitong Sansi.

After Emperor Xian of Han moved Xudu, Cao Cao was appointed as Sikong himself, and he held great power and took charge of the government. He had a position but no power, had generals but no soldiers, and was completely a free position.

In order to avoid disaster and to eliminate Cao Cao's vigilance, he took the initiative to offer seals and ribbons, gave up military power, and became the chief official of the Central San, and moved to the lieutenant of the Tunqi.

Although Fu Wan was also a high-ranking minister, he was not able to compete with Cao Cao because he was famous but not real. He remembered that Dong Cheng had written a letter from Fu Shougai and the queen, waiting for the opportunity.

In the 14th year of Jian'an, Fu Wan died of illness, and his son Fu Dian inherited his title.

In the 18th year of Jian'an, someone received a letter from Fu Wan's relics to his father, which was dedicated to Cao Cao. Cao Cao had completely controlled the government at this time and did not need to kill the chicken to warn the monkey. What he was thinking about was how to arrange the queen's candidate.

Just then the wife came to ask for instructions and wanted to betroth the three daughters of Cao Xian, Cao Jie and Cao Hua. Cao Cao felt a little moved and had a plan. It would be better to leave the position of queen to his daughter.

Therefore, Cao Cao felt that it would be better to not move the queen for the time being, but sent all his three daughters into the palace and named them as wife.

Now the time has come, Cao Cao decided to let his second understanding daughter Cao Jie become the queen. So he set up three thousand soldiers overnight to surround the Fu family's private house. Both the young and the young were taken down, and all the Fu family members were imprisoned.

Early the next morning, the Imperial General Xi Lu entered the palace with his robes. He first collected the queen's seal and ribbon, and then asked the Minister of State to lead five hundred soldiers into the back hall to capture the queen and kill him for the crime of treason.

After Cao Cao killed Empress Fu, Emperor Xian was uneasy and refused to eat for a long time. Cao Cao went to the palace to meet him and said to Emperor Xian of Han:

"Your Majesty has no worries, I have no dissatisfaction! My daughter Cao Jie has become a noble person with Your Majesty, a great wise man, and a good filial piety, and is suitable for living in the main palace." Emperor Xian dared not refuse to obey.

On the first day of the first month of the 20th year of Jian'an, he celebrated the dynasty and appointed Cao Cao's daughter, Guiren Cao, as the queen of the palace. No one in the court dared to say anything.

At this time, the daughter of the Cao family was the queen. Cao Cao's power became increasingly powerful and his ambitions rose again. He met with ministers to discuss with him and wanted to conquer Jiangdong and Xishu.

Jia Xu made a proposal:

"I heard recently that Liu Bei and Sun Quan were not in harmony because of Jiangling's belonging, and Liu Bei had already gone to Jingzhou in person. The two sides were in a state of rebellion. At this time, it was not the best time to attack Jiangdong and Jingzhou. Instead, Liu Bei and Sun Quan gave up their prejudices and joined hands to fight against the prime minister. Therefore, it is better to take Zhang Lu, Hanzhong first, wait for Liu Bei and Sun Quan to get into evil, and then use victorious troops to attack Western Shu, which can be brought down in one go."

Cao Cao said happily:

"Wenhe's words are exactly what I want." Then he set up an army of 300,000 to prepare for the western expedition to Hanzhong.

...

...

Seeing that Ma Liang no longer dissuaded him to go to Jiangdong, Guan Yu turned to ask for a way out, so he naturally seemed to be doing good.

Guan Yu had already had a vain case, so he called Guan Ping on the spot to obey the order and asked him to ignite five hundred elite naval troops, hide them on dozens of fast ships, and hide them in the reed marsh opposite Linjiang Pavilion. When he saw the flag signal on the other side, he rowed across the river to pick him up.

Regarding his father's safety, Guan Ping did not dare to neglect and took the order to prepare.

The envoy from Jiangdong responded to Lu Su, saying that Guan Yu agreed with mercy and would arrive in Jiangdong tomorrow.

Lu Su discussed with Lu Meng:

"What is Guan Yu's purpose here?"

Lu Meng was not afraid of big things, so he said to Lu Su:

"No matter what Guan Yu's purpose is, we are just looking for trouble this time. As long as he dares to lead troops across the river, he will think that he is attacking Jiangdong. Gan Ning and I each lead an elite soldier ambushed in the willow forest on the shore, preparing to surround Guan Yu's soldiers. If Guan Yu did not lead the troops, the governor would hide fifty swords and axemen in the screen behind the pavilion, and capture Guan Yu at the banquet."

Lu Su actually didn't want to be incompatible with Liu Bei, but he knew that what Lu Meng said was Sun Quan's meaning, so he had to act according to his plan.

The next day, Lu Su sent many people to look at the other side of the shore to watch Guan Yu's movements. After Chen Shi, a small boat came on the river on the other side. There were only a few sailors on the shore, a red flag, and a big "Guan" was displayed.

The boat approached the shore, and Lu Su left Gan Ning to command the ambush in the Liulin. In order to support it, he arranged the ambush in the pavilion and went to the shore to meet him in person.

On the boat, Guan Yu was sitting alone on the boat; Zhou Cang was holding a big knife next to him; more than ten Guanxi men each had a knife on their waists.

When Lu Su saw that Guan Yu had learned more than ten people, he naturally had some support, and was shocked and puzzled.

He and Lu Meng accompanied Guan Yu into the Linjiang Pavilion.

After the ceremony was discussed, they went to the table to drink and raised their glasses to persuade them. Lu Su was ashamed and did not dare to look at Guan Yu. Although Guan Yu was calm and laughed, he was also secretly concerned.

After drinking halfway, Lu Su's courage became much stronger with the intention of drinking, so he spoke:

"I have one thing to ask General Guan, hoping to get a satisfactory answer: In the past, Uncle Liu, I asked me to temporarily live in Jiangling as a guarantor before my lord, and made an appointment to take Sichuan and return it after the return. Now the Uncle Xichuan has obtained it, but Jiangling has not returned it. Isn't this a breach of trust?"

Guan Yu had long known that Lu Su would talk about this matter, and he made up his mind and would not take on his topic, so he replied:

"I received an invitation from Zijing yesterday, which was a banquet for me to tell me about the past, not on an envoy to discuss official affairs. I won't talk about these major national affairs at the banquet, so as not to destroy the atmosphere of our drinking!"
