"My lord, when shall we do it?"

Zhou Cang lowered his voice, his eyes were full of uncontrollable excitement and bloodlust.

"Wait!"

"Wait?"

Everyone was stunned.

"That's right. A gentleman hides his weapon in his body and moves it when the time comes."

There was a slight smile on Cao Mao's face, but his eyes were infinitely cold.

……

Prime Minister's House.

Several days have passed since Cao Mao returned to Xudu and was placed under house arrest by Cao Cao.

On this day, Cao Cao specially called Cao Chun to the Prime Minister's Mansion to inquire about Cao Mao's current situation.

"Zihe, what's wrong with Maoer recently?"

"Report to the Prime Minister, Mr. Su Lie has been staying in the mansion peacefully in the past few days, and there has never been any noise or dissatisfaction."

Cao Chun respectfully reported.

Hearing this, Cao Cao relaxed his vigilance towards Cao Mao a little, and even regretted it a little.

Hey.

Mao'er was going through life and death for herself.

If it wasn't for him back then, I'm afraid I would have died at the hands of Zhang Xiu on the banks of the Feishui River.

But Cao Cao's soft heart lasted for a moment.

For a hero like him, since he has already made such a move, there will be no hesitation.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao ordered in a deep voice,

"Zihe, thank you for your hard work. From today on, you, Xiahouen and Xiahoujie will take turns guarding Maoer's mansion, and no one is allowed to enter or leave."

"Here!"

Cao Chun, Xiahouen and Xiahoujie responded in unison.

"Father, since Maodi's matter has been dealt with, should we consider how to dismantle the forces under his command?"

Cao Ang on the side said softly.

Cao Cao stroked his chin and fell into deep thought.

Although Cao Mao is now under house arrest, Sili Prefecture, Bingzhou, Liangzhou, and Jizhou are still under the control of his advisers and generals.

Once Cao Mao is allowed to leave Xudu, he will immediately be able to rebel again!

"Miao Cai, Yuan Rang!"

Cao Cao let out a low cry.

"The end is here."

Xiahouyuan and Xiahoudun came out brazenly.

"The two of you lead an army of [-], and take my prime minister's talisman and the official documents of the imperial court to go to Jizhou to take over the military power of Maoer's military advisor Pang Tong."

"It would be best if they obeyed obediently!"

"If not, play by ear, understand?"

Cao Cao exhorted.

"The last general takes orders!"

The two responded in unison.

"Man Cheng, Wen Qian!"

"The end is here!"

Li Dian and Le Jin also came out.

"The two of you will lead an army of [-] to support General Cao Ren, cooperate with him in taking down Huai County, and recover Bingzhou and Silizhou."

"Anyone who violates the military order will be killed without mercy!"

Cao Cao ordered in a deep voice.

"The last will obey!"

The two nodded their heads.

"Prime Minister, what should we do with Xiliang Ma Teng?"

Cheng Yu said softly.

"Xiliang has just experienced a rebellion, and its vitality has been severely injured, and it is completely powerless to resist."

"When we subdue Maoer's subordinates, and then all Jizhou, Silizhou, and Bingzhou, do you think Ma Teng will still fight against the court?"

Cao Cao smiled sinisterly.

"Father is indeed wise!"

"In this way, Maodi's power will be completely disintegrated by my father."

Cao Ang and Cao Pi both smiled and agreed.

Only Guo Jia frowned, a little worried,

"If according to the prime minister's dispatch, the troops in the city will be empty, and if something happens, I'm afraid we won't be able to deal with it."

Earlier Cao Cao had sent Cao Hong and Xu Huang to attack Qingzhou.

This time, Cao Ren, Xia Houyuan and others were sent to Huai County and Jizhou respectively.

Now there are only 2 horses left in the city, so Guo Jia's worries are not unreasonable.

"Mr. Feng Xiao is worrying too much. Brother Mao is under house arrest by his father. How could something happen?"

Cao Ang chuckled disapprovingly.

"Yes, although several uncles have been sent out, there are still Dianwei, Xu Chu, Zi and uncle in the city, who are strong enough to deal with any accidents."

Cao Pi also nodded with a smile.

"Zixiu and Zihuan's words are reasonable, besides, I sit in Xudu personally, what can happen?"

Cao Cao chuckled.

Seeing this situation, Guo Jia didn't say anything anymore.

……

a few days later.

According to Cao Cao's order, Xia Houyuan, Xia Houdun, Li Dian, Le Jin and other generals assembled their troops and marched towards Hanoi County and Jizhou respectively.

When the mighty army left the city, it was natural that the crowd watched and pointed.

The figure of Yuhuatian suddenly appeared in the crowd.

Seeing the 10,000+ army leaving Xu Capital City, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and he quickly walked towards Cao Mao's mansion in the city.

After careful observation, Yu Huatian avoided a few patrolling sergeants vigorously, then jumped up as if with wings on his back, and turned into the mansion.

"Lord!"

Yuhua Tianchao bowed in the courtyard,
"The imperial army has already left the city, and now there are only 2 horses left in the city!"

Hearing this, Deng Ai, Jiang Wei, Zhou Cang and the others on the side suddenly showed excitement!
They have always been used to being free, but they are fed up with being under house arrest in the mansion for the past few days.

"My lord, our chance has come!"

Zhou Cang was gearing up, looking eager to try.

"That's right. But before we start, we should have a discussion."

Cao Mao got up with everyone and returned to the room.

A simple map of Xu Capital was spread out on the table.

"Teacher, if we want to do something, I suggest that it be during the court meeting. In this way, the prime minister and other civil and military officials are all in the palace, and it will definitely be difficult to receive information in a hurry."

Deng Ai analyzed calmly.

Cao Mao nodded slightly, nodded and said, "What Shi Zai said makes sense."

"Once we do it, we must take down the arsenal first, otherwise, our people will lack weapons."

Yu Huatian pointed at Xu Du's arsenal and said in a deep voice,

"And after taking down the arsenal, we can split into two groups."

"Separate a few troops along the way to attack the prime minister's mansion and restrain the prime minister's family."

"The other way goes straight to the palace, and controls all the princes and nobles including the emperor and the prime minister."

As expected of Cao Mao's commander in charge of intelligence, Yuhuatian had already arranged all the plans.

Cao Zhen looked at Xu Du's defense map, frowned slightly and said,

"This plan seems to be seamless, but my subordinates have some doubts."

"Zi Dan just said it."

"First, the arsenal holds weapons and has thousands of troops. How can we take down the arsenal?"

"Secondly, the prime minister has Dian Wei and Xu Chu as two powerful generals. With the prime minister's character, usually only one person will follow him into the court, and the other will guard the prime minister's mansion. If we want to take down the prime minister's mansion, we must send one of them to the court. beat."

"Thirdly, how do we capture the gate of the palace guarded by the Southern Army before the Northern Army arrives? You must know that we only have 3000 men, and there are [-] soldiers in the city!"

Cao Zhen slowly expressed the doubts in his heart.
