Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 511 Cao Cao: I killed my brother in my dream!

Cao Cao was lying on the bed in the inner room, unable to sleep.

He was still thinking about what Xun You and Xi Zhicai said last night.

At this moment, Xun You's voice was heard outside.

Cao Cao got up from the bed and was about to respond.

Before he could finish his words, he thought of Xi Zhicai asking about his successor.

Cao Cao took a deep breath and finally made a decision.

For the time being, I cannot do without the talents of uncle and nephew Xun Yu and Xun You.

Over the years, Xun Yu has been taking care of the rear area in an orderly manner.

If I didn't have Xun Yu's skill, how could I have fought without any worries?

As for Xun You, although he was a latecomer, he also performed diligently.

Not to mention that the people in the Imperial Household discovered that Xun Yu only had dealings with the emperor.

Even if he really discovered that Xun Yu and the emperor were colluding with each other, he could only turn a blind eye.

Naturally, he couldn't blatantly reject Xun You's suggestion yesterday.

What reason?
Should I tell Xun You that I suspect he might be framing me?

Although Xun You doesn't talk much and is silent, he is a sensitive person.

If he really finds out that he has doubts about him and Xun Yu, who knows what he will do!

Although Cheng Yu helped him a lot, he was still a bit conventional after all.

Although Jia Xu was capable, he was not completely loyal and his methods were cruel.

Although the fire in Puyang City had almost wiped out Yuan Tan's 50,000-strong army, it also took the lives of a large number of Puyang City residents and thousands of his own soldiers toll.

He now dared not disclose the detailed strategy of this battle to the public and could only shift all the blame to Yuan Tan.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t dare to face the civil and military officials in the court!

Only Xun You had brilliant ideas and a relatively upright character.

How to do?
Just when Cao Cao was getting anxious like an ant on a hot pan, the conversation between Xun You and another person was heard outside.

Xun You said: "Come here, you are responsible for taking care of the lord's daily life, right?"

Another person said: "Yes, Military Advisor Xun!"

Xun You said, "I am not your personal servant after all. You go in and wake up the lord and tell him that I have something urgent to discuss with you, which is about the battle against Zhang Sui."

The other person didn't doubt it and just hummed.

Cao Cao listened to the conversation, his eyes turned, and he came up with a plan.

He carefully ran out of bed, took the sword from the weapon rack, quickly returned to the bed, and covered himself with the quilt.

There was another knock on the door, but it was another person's voice saying, "Master, I'm coming in?"

Cao Cao pretended to snore softly and ignored him.

The door is pushed open.

A personal soldier and Xun You were standing outside the door.

Xun You glanced at the entrance, forced himself to suppress his uneasiness and depression, and waited quietly outside the door.

The guard walked in, passed the entrance hall, turned a corner and entered the room.

Seeing Cao Cao lying on the bed, with occasional snoring sounds coming from him, the guard quickly walked forward, stopped at the head of Cao Cao's bed, lowered his head and whispered, "Lord? Lord?"

Cao Cao suddenly took out his sword from under the quilt and stabbed his personal guard in the chest.

The personal guards obviously did not expect Cao Cao's move!
It was not until Cao Cao stirred the sword that had pierced his chest and the blood instantly dyed his clothes red that the guard came to his senses, screamed, and fell directly to the ground at the head of the bed.

Xun You, who was waiting outside, heard the screams, his heart skipped a beat, and he ran in.

But Cao Cao was seen lying back on the bed with his bloody sword in his hand, covered with the quilt, and fell down with his eyes closed.

And on the floor at the head of the bed, lying there was the personal guard whom he had just called out to.

Xun You looked at the blood still flowing from the body of the dead guard, his eyes shrank sharply and his breathing almost stopped.

He looked at the person lying on the bed with some horror. He was still snoring softly. He was stunned for a long moment before he backed away tremblingly.

This is killing the chicken to scare the monkey!
I just don't know if this is for myself or for Xizhicai to see?

Although Cheng Yu came up with a plan last night, he did not adopt it at all.

He only hesitated between his own strategy and Xi Zhicai's.

As Xun You backed out, he looked at Cao Cao lying on the bed and his uncle Xun Yu's words came to his mind: "Mr. Cao is a suspicious man. He should be careful with his words and actions, and be low-key and introverted. Don't get carried away by your talent. You should learn from Zhicai and don't always go against him." Xun You backed out of the room and stood at the door, taking a few deep breaths.

His face looked a little pale.

The world has changed after all.

Dong Zhuo is also good.

Cao Cao too.

No one wants to be a true wise leader.

They all relied on their strong military forces to act recklessly, bullying the emperor and slaughtering the people at will.

Xun You laughed out loud in self-mockery when he thought that when he defected to Cao Cao, it was actually because of his desire to visit the "Tomb of the Han Dynasty General who Conquers the West".

Xun You stayed at the door for a while and then returned to his room.

Just then, Xi Zhicai walked out of the room.

The two looked at each other.

Xun You immediately went back to his room.

Xi Zhicai looked at Xun You's fleeing behavior and felt a little confused.

However, he didn't think too much about it.

He did not go directly to Cao Cao, but went outside Xiahou Dun's room.

Seeing that only Xu Chu was outside, Xi Zhicai asked, "How is General Xiahou now?"

Xu Chu said: "There is still breath."

Xi Zhicai nodded and waited for a moment until Cao Chun arrived.

Cao Chun entered Xiahou Dun's room, looked for a while, and then came out with red eyes.

Xi Zhicai hurriedly asked, "How is General Xiahou?"

Cao Chun said in a hoarse voice: "Not much has changed. The doctors and workers are watching over it. They didn't say it was good, nor did they say it was bad."

Cao Chun said this and was about to leave.

Xi Zhicai grabbed his sleeve and said, "No matter which strategy I told you yesterday, you must send an envoy to inform Zhang Sui."

"I am an outsider after all, General Cao, you are brothers, and I need you to accompany me."

Only then did Cao Chun perk up and say "oh".

The two walked side by side towards Cao Cao's room.

I actually saw that the door of the room was open.

Moreover, there was a strong smell of blood in the room.

Cao Chun and Xi Zhicai looked at each other and their faces changed drastically.

Cao Chun was the first to draw the sword at his waist and rush in.

Xi Zhicai followed closely behind.

The two men passed through the entrance hall and entered the room, and at a glance they saw the body of the bodyguard lying on the ground.

Cao Chun screamed, "My Lord!"

Cao Cao finally couldn't pretend anymore, so he stood up, still holding the bloody sword in his hand, and asked in a daze, "So it's Zihe and Zhicai! What are you doing with the swords?"

Cao Chun was relieved to see that Cao Cao was safe and sound. He pointed at the body of his personal guard on the ground and asked, "My lord, what is this?"

Cao Cao then looked under the bed and exclaimed, "How could this be?"

"I just had a dream. I dreamed that Xu Rong was chasing me, and I stabbed him with my sword and killed him."

"Did I kill him in my dream?"

Cao Chun quickly checked the wounds on the body of the guard, looked at Cao Cao with a complicated expression and said, "My lord, it should be. There is only one wound on his body, on the chest, and it was fatal."

Cao Cao immediately knelt down, prostrated himself on the body of his personal guard, and cried loudly: "Who allowed you to approach me when I was sleeping? What should I do? I killed my good brother in my sleep!"

Xi Zhicai stood not far away and watched this scene, sneering in his heart.

The longer I follow this guy, the more I realize that he likes acting.

I just don't know who this performance is for.

Thinking of Xun You’s pale face just now, Xi Zhicai looked a little strange.

This old guy is targeting me all day long.

Now let’s see if he dares to do it again in the future!
