Three Kingdoms: The identity of the financial master behind the scenes was exposed by Cao Cao

"You are wrong. The person who harmed you is your Uncle Liu Huang, not me, Cao Yuan."

Cao Yuan sneered disapprovingly.

Liu Xie was frightened and angry, and was still shouting.

Cao Yuan disdained to pay attention to him, turned around and walked towards the tower.

Xiahou Dun suddenly understood his plan to kill someone with a borrowed knife, and couldn't help being surprised. I chased him

"Ziyou, although this Liu Xie is hateful, he is the emperor after all. It seems inappropriate to kill your uncle with Liu Bei's sword if we don't want to do so. Xiahou

Dun said with such concern.

Cao Yuan looked Xiahou Dun squarely in the face and asked solemnly:"Uncle Yuan Rang, I want to ask you something from your heart. Do you want your uncle to be the emperor in the future?""

_

_ position"

"That's it. Cao Yuan asked back:"

Uncle Yuan Rang, you have been brothers with me for many years, and you know my uncle's temperament very well. Do you think that as long as Liu Xie, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, is here for one day, my uncle will depose Liu Xie and ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor?""

Xiahou Dun fell silent.

After pondering for a long time, he seemed to understand what Cao Yuan meant.

"Meng De's childhood ambition was to be a general of the Han Dynasty in conquering the West, to guard the border for the Han Dynasty, and to expel the barbarians."

"According to my understanding of him, even if he unified the world in the future, he might not depose Liu Xie and establish himself as emperor."

Xiahou Dun is worthy of being Cao Cao's brother, and he understands Cao Cao very well.

"now it's right"

"As long as Liu Xie lives, his uncle will never be able to proclaim himself emperor, and the world of the Han Dynasty will never become the Cao family."

"Uncle Yuan Rang, you, like me, want him to become emperor, so should we help him and smash Liu Xie's stumbling block that prevents him from becoming emperor?"

After Cao Yuan laid the groundwork, he pointed out his intention to kill Liu Xie.

Xiahou Dun suddenly understood:"We can use Liu Bei's hand to kill Liu Xie. This will not only dump the reputation of regicide on Liu Bei, but also eliminate Meng De. Get rid of worries about becoming emperor, Ziyou, you have a brilliant plan to kill two birds with one stone!"

Cao Yuan smiled and said nothing.

"However, although your plan is clever, once Liu Xie dies, won't Meng De be able to hold the emperor hostage to order the princes?"

After he was overjoyed, Xiahou Dun was worried.

"Yuan Shao is dead, who still has the strength to stop his uncle from dominating the world?"

"It is meaningless to coerce the emperor to control the princes. Liu Xie has become a negative asset. If we don't get rid of him quickly, what's the use of keeping him?"

Cao Yuan said disapprovingly.

"Negative...negative equity?"

Xiahou Dun's eyes flashed, his face was blank.

"Ahem. Cao

Yuan coughed a few times:"What I mean is that the Han Emperor's banner of righteousness has lost its meaning. If he is left alive, he will definitely find ways to rebel and seize power. It is better to get rid of him.""

Xiahou Dun seemed to have some realization. He pondered for a moment.

The hesitation in his eyes turned into fierce murderous intent, and he said resolutely:"Ziyou, your vision is far beyond my reach, uncle. Okay, we will use your plan and borrow Liu Bei's sword. Kill Liu Xie, the ungrateful dog emperor!"

Seeing that Xiahou Dun was persuaded, Cao Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The two of them smiled knowingly and looked back to the outside of Xudu City. In front of the south gate, 20,000 Jingzhou soldiers had advanced to the city and began to attack the city.

Xiahou Dun Standing with his sword across the sword, he ordered two thousand Cao Cao's troops to fight to the death to resist the enemy.

Liu Xie was terrified and kept shouting:"I am the emperor, don't hurt me!""

His cry was mercilessly drowned out by the thundering drums.

An offensive and defensive battle began.

Although the Jingzhou army was ten times more numerous than Cao's army, it had an absolute advantage.

But neither Li Yan nor Huang Zhong could He was afraid of Liu Xie and did not dare to attack too hard.

He did not even dare to use his crossbows, lest he accidentally killed the emperor with an arrow.

By then, they would have become the sinners of regicide.

Liu Bei, the lord, was willing to do it for him. They are lucky to bear the charge of regicide and keep them safe.

If Liu Bei can't bear the fishing boat and is forced to kill them to thank the world, who will he complain about?

It is precisely because of this that everyone from the generals to the soldiers is afraid , they all worked hard and did not dare to attack. After attacking the city for an hour, the 20,000 Jingzhou army could not move even a single inch. Liu Bei clearly saw this scene , and his brows became more and more serious.

"My lord, the soldiers are afraid of accidentally hurting the emperor, so they are unwilling to attack the city with all their strength."

"If this continues, even if we have an army of millions, we will not be able to capture Xudu!"

Xu Shu saw the clues and warned in a deep voice.

Liu Bei's eyes were filled with rage. He suddenly grasped the iron bow on the saddle and almost wanted to kill Liu Xie himself.

Xu Shu saw his thoughts and his expression changed. The urgent thing is to hold down Liu Bei's hand

"My lord, you are the uncle of the Han Dynasty and a relative of the Liu family. No matter what, you cannot do it yourself!"

Xu Shu reminded in a low voice, shaking his head at Liu Bei repeatedly.

Liu Bei shuddered, suddenly woke up, and broke into a cold sweat.

He claimed to be a descendant of the Han Dynasty, and under the banner of helping the Han Dynasty, he came to call on all the people with lofty ideals to support the Han Dynasty. , went through fire and water for him.

He attacked Xudu and unfortunately injured the emperor. It can also be said that he was protecting King Qin. It was an unintentional mistake. To kill the king personally was an unforgivable crime and there was no excuse.

He helped the Han Dynasty. The banner of righteousness will also collapse, and it will no longer be able to unite people's hearts.

Liu Bei rolled his eyes and shouted:"Chen Dao, listen to the order!"

"The end will be here!"

The guard commander Chen arrived and rode forward.

Liu Bei pointed his horsewhip at the tower and said,"If you see the traitor wearing a dragon robe and pretending to be the emperor, I order you to kill the traitor immediately!"

Chen Dao's figure was shaken, and he was suddenly filled with shock.

Naturally, he did not expect that his lord, who did not dare to kill the king with his own hands, would leave this difficult task to him.

"My lord, he is the emperor, how dare you, the general?——"

"Nonsense! Liu

Bei interrupted his embarrassment and said sternly:"Xiahou Dun is the fake emperor who is trying to shake the morale of our army. I have seen the emperor with my own eyes. How can I not know whether he is real or fake?""

Chen was at a loss for words.

"Uncle Zhi, whether we can capture Xudu today is the most critical battle for us to rejuvenate the Han Dynasty."

"If you can kill the false emperor, make our army no longer afraid of rats, and capture Xudu in one fell swoop, you will be my number one contributor to the revival of the Han Dynasty!"

"Uncle, please don’t let me down!"

Liu Bei patted Chen Dao on the shoulder and drew a pie again.

With such kindness and power, Chen Dao's remaining worries disappeared in an instant.

"The general will obey!"

Chen Dao no longer hesitated, rode his horse and held his bow, and went straight to the city.

He reined up his horse twenty steps in front of the city, bent his bow and nocked an arrow, aiming at the frightened Liu Xie.

"My lord has been kind to me. Not to mention that my lord asked me to kill the emperor, even if he asked me to kill my own parents, I, Chen Dao, would still be obliged to do so!"

Chen Dao made up his mind and loosened his fingertips.

An arrow left the string and flew through the air.

"puff!"

It hit Liu Xie right in the heart.
