Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 288 Killing the chicken to scare the monkey?
It’s Xiahou Yuan!

Xiahou Yuan's forehead was throbbing with veins, "That little bastard on the left, and that little bastard on the right."

"I, Xiahou Yuan, have been in the army for more than ten years, and I have never felt so aggrieved!"

"Don't tell him he didn't know we were going to execute the queen."

"Even if he really knew and came over, are we really afraid of him?"

"His cavalry was indeed powerful before, but we only sent out 3,000 people, and we didn't know him well."

"Now that the war has officially begun, why should we be afraid of him?"

"Twenty thousand men against one thousand cavalrymen, I don't believe he can win!"

"We are not afraid of Lu Bu. We can drive him out of Yanzhou."

"Now, we are afraid of a little brat?"

Xiahou Yuan's words made Cao Hong, Xiahou Dun and other generals look embarrassed.

They have been feeling very depressed these days.

Before that, they chased Yuan Shu, Tao Qian, and the Xiongnu cavalry, and chased the enemy for dozens of miles without taking a breath.

Afterwards, he killed Lu Bu and Chen Gong and forced them to flee in panic.

Now, he was overwhelmed by Zhang Sui, who only led one thousand cavalry and four thousand infantry, and became a coward!
Cao Hong muttered, "Although Yuan Shao is standing behind Zhang Sui, it is still very annoying."

When Cao Cao saw that all the generals thought so, he frowned.

He stood up, put his hands behind his back, and walked forward.

According to his own ideas, he just has to endure it.

Today, the world is ultimately a battle between the two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.

He was not afraid of Yuan Shu, the dandy boy.

However, he was afraid of Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao was able to obtain Jizhou out of thin air.

It took only a few years to pacify the entire Jizhou, the entire Bingzhou, most of Qingzhou and most of Youzhou.

He forced Gongsun Zan to the point where he could only gasp for breath.

It just so happens that Yuan Shao lives next to him.

If he really had to go up against Yuan Shao, given his current financial situation, he would want to surrender immediately.

However, he had to listen to what these generals said.

These generals are either veterans who have always followed him.

Or he could be one of his clan relatives.

Now that I am able to convince them, isn't it because I have helped them get what they wanted and boosted their morale? Gave them confidence?
If they continue to feel aggrieved, they might turn against us.

Just a few years ago, when he was ambushed by Xu Rong and his entire army was nearly wiped out, this group of people almost parted ways with him.

Fortunately, his concubine Bian stopped them at that time and bet the lives of her family that they would rise again.

Thinking of how Bian would find him later and tremble all over when she recalled the scene at night, Cao Cao gritted his teeth and said, "Kill him!"

"Tomorrow at noon."

Looking at Cheng Yu, Cao Cao said, "Zhongde, go find His Majesty and tell him that the Queen will be executed tomorrow."

"Let your majesty list the circumstances of the Queen's patricide."

"Also, how she tried to assassinate His Majesty."

"However, I must tell your Majesty that this matter cannot be handled publicly, nor can it be publicly announced that the Queen was executed."

"This is to protect the dignity of the Heavenly Family."

Looking at Xi Zhicai, Cao Cao said, "Zhicai, go and inform all the civil and military officials to gather at the gate of the parade ground tomorrow."

"The execution of the queen cannot be made public, but these civil and military officials must know about it."

"We must let them know that I, Cao Cao, am the heaven and the earth today!"

"From the emperor and empress to the common people, whoever dares to disobey me, I have plenty of ways to kill them!"

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, his face full of murderous intent.

From the moment he became the emperor, he was no longer the little follower that followed Yuan Shao in the past.

He is also a local lord!
Moreover, there are princes who want to sweep across the world and unify the world!

Cao Hong, Cai Yang, Xiahou Yuan and others all looked ecstatic.

It finally stood up!
It’s finally time to compete with Yuan Shao.

They are very unhappy that they always stand under Yuan Shao!

After hearing what Cao Cao said, Xi Zhicai coughed a few times and said, "Yes!" After that, Cheng Yu and Xi Zhicai left one after another.

Cao Cao took a deep breath, looked at Cao Hong, Xiahou Yuan, Cai Yang and others and said, "Now return to your respective posts, control the soldiers, and do not leave your posts without permission, otherwise, you will all be executed!"

Cao Hong, Xiahou Yuan, Cai Yang and others all clasped their fists and left.

Cao Cao then turned and looked in the direction of Zhang Sui, his heart beating faster.

This is his first step towards becoming a "hero".

This time he killed the queen and took the emperor away, he was going to officially become the overlord!

He doesn't want to be the so-called "General of the Western Expedition" anymore.

He has to think about himself and future generations.

He wanted to conquer a vast territory, and even let his descendants sweep across the world and unify the universe!
Cao Cao's mind emerged the scene when he asked for the coalition forces to attack the traitor Dong Zhuo, but everyone laughed at him.

He thought of the scene in which he led his troops to pursue Dong Zhuo, but was ambushed by Xu Rong's cavalry, and was killed so badly that the blood flowed like a river, and he himself almost jumped into the river.

Today, he has given up.

This big guy is beyond help.

From this moment on, he wanted to "become a king, a prince, a general, or a minister, all of whom are born with a special kind of blood!"
As soon as Xi Zhicai left Cao Cao's residence, he cut his finger, ripped his underwear, and quickly wrote a few words on it.

Afterwards, he found Xiahou Lan and asked Xiahou Lan to deliver the letter to Zhang Sui.

The reason for looking for Xiahou Lan is simple.

Xiahou Lan was a captain and had the authority to leave the camp.

Another thing is that he had heard Xiahou Lan say before that he had a brother named Zhao Yun, who seemed to be related to Zhang Sui.

Cao Cao might find out that Xiahou Lan has left.

Xiahou Lan was also a smart man. He knew his relationship with Cao Cao and did not dare to easily say that he asked him to deliver something. He only said that he was going to find Zhang Sui to deliver a message to Zhao Yun.

Of course, it’s best not to catch him.

When Xiahou Lan saw Xi Zhicai asked her to deliver a letter to Zhang Sui, she was a little hesitant.

However, he did not doubt it and left with the letter.

The reason is simple, Xi Zhicai is not an ordinary person.

He was one of Cao Cao's three major advisers.

Cao Cao’s three main advisers now are: Xun Yu, Xi Zhicai and Cheng Yu.

Among them, Xi Zhicai was also a disciple of Xun Yu.

Xun Yu and Cao Cao "slept on the same mat".

The relationship is not something that people like us can compare to.

I can't believe that I would offend Xi Zhicai.

Moreover, Cao Cao was so good to Xi Zhicai, there was no reason for Xi Zhicai to betray Cao Cao.

Xi Zhicai watched Xiahou Lan ride away on his horse and quickly disappear from his sight without moving.

After a long time, seeing that no one had caught up with Xiahou Lan, Xi Zhicai finally breathed a sigh of relief and rushed to the residences of the civil and military officials to inform them to go to the parade ground at noon the next day.

Besides, Zhang Sui, along with the heads of the various noble families in Henei County, a thousand cavalrymen, and four thousand Black Mountain troops, did not go far.

His mission this time has been accomplished.

There's no need to rush back.

Moreover, the heads of the various aristocratic families are not soldiers and cannot be treated by rapid marches.

Zhang Sui only led them for twenty miles before setting up camp.

Zhang Sui and the heads of various aristocratic families in Henei County agreed to have dinner together in the evening, and then discuss matters concerning Zhang Sui's visits to various families when he passed through Henei County.

The heads of various aristocratic families in Henei County also warmly welcomed Zhang Sui.

First of all, Zhang Sui demonstrated his abilities this time.

Secondly, Zhang Sui is Yuan Shao’s future son-in-law.

Hebei already belongs to Yuan Shao.

Establishing a good relationship with Zhang Sui would also be of great benefit to these aristocratic families.

Zhang Sui was commanding his soldiers to build a huge activity venue in preparation for a bonfire party in the evening.

While they were busy, a soldier came running over with Xiahou Lan.

From a distance, the soldiers shouted, "Commander-in-chief, Cao Gong's messenger has arrived!"
