Guo Jia and others were shocked when they heard this.
They all looked at Cao Chong.
Cao Chong's eyes were dull. Even when facing everyone's gaze, his expression did not change. He just stood quietly next to Xu You.
"This kid..."
Zhuge Liang was a little surprised, not only by Cao Chong's identity, but also by Cao Cao's cruelty.
It would be too cruel to let such a young child cut off his father's head and surrender.
However, this is indeed a clever method.
Sima Yi snorted coldly, "Cao Thief falsely established Pretender Emperor and rebelled. This is Extermination of Nine Clans's grave crime."
"Cao Thief wants to use this method to save his youngest son from death, but it is too simple."
With his intelligence, how could he not see Cao Cao's plan?
Sima Yi's words attracted everyone's attention. Although they didn't say anything, they felt somewhat unhappy in their hearts.
Of course, everyone understands the truth, but after knowing Cao Chong's experience, they still have some sympathy. After all, he is just a five or six-year-old child.
It seems too cold-blooded for Sima Yi to openly expose this matter, and whether he can be forgiven or not depends on how Son of Heaven decides. He has nothing to do with you?
Do you have to speak more to show that you can?
Chen Gong frowned, and then said calmly, "Grand Marshal Attendant-in-Chief This statement is wrong. It is said that when a person is about to die, his heart to atone for his sins is true."
"What if Cao Thief truly regrets it?"
"It doesn't matter what we say about this matter. We should bring this son back to Chang'an along with many Cao Clan clan members and hand them over to Your Majesty."
Zhuge Liang nodded and said, "I agree."
Except for Zhou Yu and Lü Bu, the two people who hate Cao Cao the most, everyone else also spoke in agreement.
Chapter 480 Chang'an is shocked!
As Han Army settled in Changsha city, this Cao Cao base camp was completely declared to have fallen, and all Cao Army Soldiers and generals surrendered one after another.
After all, even Cao Cao is dead, so there is no point in their resistance. Besides, Cao Cao has already told them to give up resistance.
The first time Han Army entered the city, he arrested the clan members of the Cao Clan and Xiahou Clan. In addition, Xun Yu, Xun You, Cheng Yu and other close advisers of Cao Cao were also captured.
These are Rebel who are thieves. They need to be brought back to Chang'an to be tried by Son of Heaven and then disposed of.
Guo Jia also entered the city with the With the Army. Among the captives, he saw Xun Yu.
"Wenruo, long time no see."
Seeing Xun Yu being tied up, Guo Jia greeted him with some emotion in his tone.
He and Xun Yu have known each other a long time ago.
Both of them are Yingchuan people, but he was still a little-known person at that time, while Xun Yu has become one of the "Xun Family's Eight Dragons" and is famous far and wide.
Facing Guo Jia's greetings, Xun Yu's expression did not change much. He remained as usual. He nodded slightly and said, "Long time no see, Fengxiao."
"You look much better. I almost don't recognize you."
Compared with the appearance of a tuberculosis ghost in his early years, Guo Jia now looks very healthy, with a rosy complexion, bright eyes, and his complexion is more than a little better than before.
Guo Jia smiled lightly and said, "Thanks to Your Majesty's supervision, I quit Five-Stone Powder. I also asked Mr. Hua Tuo to prescribe medicine and take good care of my body."
"After all, I have to be around Your Majesty for a long time, and after Great Han's unification, everything is in vain. If you don't take good care of yourself, you won't be able to use your skills."
Hearing this, Xun Yu's eyes flashed with a hint of complexity.
When he first met Guo Jia, he knew that such a talent would definitely achieve great things in the future.
But even though he had expected it, Guo Jia's achievements far exceeded his imagination.
Guo Jia, who was still a small figure at the beginning, has become Son of Heaven's most trusted confidant, ranking first on the Lingyun Pavilion's list, standing at the pinnacle of Great Han's power, and his future is bright.
But this so-called "Xun Family's Eight Dragons" has become Prisoner, carrying the serious crime of being a traitor, and his life or death is unknown.
Time is also fate.
Guo Jia didn't care about the identities of the captive Xun Yu and Rebel. The two of them were like friends they hadn't seen for many years, chatting with each other.
Seeing this, Xun You on the side couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope in his heart.
The relationship between Uncle and Guo Jia is so good, and Guo Jia is Son of Heaven's most valued minister. If Guo Jia is willing to intercede for them, they may not be pardoned by Son of Heaven.
After Guo Jia and Xun Yu chatted for a while, they said, "I still have something to do, so I will stay here soon. Say goodbye."
After saying that, he asked Soldiers to take Xun Yu and others into custody.
He led people into Residence of Cao Cao.
Watching Guo Jia leave, Xun You couldn't help but said to Xun Yu, "Uncle, since you are familiar with Guo Fengxiao, why don't you ask him to help us?"
"With his status, if he is willing to intercede for us in front of Son of Heaven, we will definitely be exempted from guilt."
Just now Xun Yu and Guo Jia had been chatting about the past, and from beginning to end they never asked Guo Jia for help.
Do you still care about face at this time?
Xun Yu shook his head and said calmly, "I know Fengxiao's character. He is a very rational person. Private matters belong to private matters and public matters belong to public matters. He can clearly distinguish between them."
"You and I have helped Cao Cao and Imperial Court fight for so long. No matter whether we were deceived by Cao Cao or whatever, we can't wash away this crime."
"He will not intercede for us in front of Son of Heaven just because I have friendship with him. Doing so will only violate Son of Heaven's taboo."
"He's a smart man, and that's why he's gotten to where he is now."
Guo Jia just chatted with him because the two were old acquaintances, but he would not be treated in any special way because of this.
He understands this very well.
After Xun You heard this, the hope in his heart was shattered, and he said in despair, "If we had accepted Second Uncle's father's invitation to go to Ji Province, we would not be in the situation we are in today..."
Xun Chen originally wrote a letter asking them to seek refuge with Ji Province, but they did not accept it at that time.
Although Xun Chen was later killed by Son of Heaven, the Xun Clan branch in Ji Province was not affected and still developed steadily.
If they had listened to Xun Chen's advice and gone to Ji Province, everything might have been different.
After Changsha city was recaptured, Huang Zhong was left to guard it. Guo Jia, Zhuge Liang, Lü Bu and others took Cao Cao's head and escorted Emperor Xian of Han and a group of prisoners back to Chang'an.
Emperor Xian of Han was closely guarded along the way, and three fierce generals including Ju Yi, Taishi Ci, and Zhao Yun followed Carriage in person.
Even Lü Bu comes over to take a look from time to time.
When he caught Emperor Xian of Han, he wanted to kill him directly, but Chen Gong persuaded him to hand it over to Son of Heaven. As a result, Pretender Emperor ran away on the way to Ye City.
Otherwise, there would be so many things happening later.
Thinking of this, Lü Bu stared at Carriage driving slowly in front of him, rubbed Sky-Piercer Halberd in his hand, and coldly snorted, "If Pretender Emperor dares to escape this time, I will definitely kill him with my own hands!"
Chen Gong on the side heard this and said, "Calm down, there are 30,000 troops here, and General Zhao are guarding them. How can this Pretender Emperor escape?"
Lü Bu glared and said, "You can't be careless! It was only after listening to your words Gongtai that Pretender Emperor had the opportunity to run away. This time, it was Your Majesty who personally issued the order. Otherwise, I will kill Pretender Emperor even if you hold me back."
"Pretender Emperor is Pretender Emperor, it's just a fake, any twins, it's all bullshit!"
"Apart from the fact that Pretender Emperor looks like Your Majesty, in what other way can it be compared with Your Majesty? Letting him live will only insult the sage of Your Majesty!"
Chen Gong was speechless for a moment. He was indeed responsible for that incident, but he thought too much.
With a slight cough, Chen Gong revealed the matter and said, "There is news recently, Fengxian, have you heard about it?"
"What news?"
"Noble Lady Zhen gave birth to a Dragon Son for Your Majesty. Your Majesty named this Dragon Son 'Jue' and named her King of Bohai."
"What?!"
Lü Bu widened his eyes and said in surprise, "Your Majesty has Dragon Son? Why didn't I hear about this?"
He had been busy fighting the war during this period and had no time to take care of other things, so this was the first time he heard this news.
After being surprised, Lü Bu said with some sadness, "Oh! That girl Qi'er is not living up to expectations. Look at her, she gave birth to Dragon Son all of a sudden."
Although he is also rare for Grandson girls, he still wants to embrace Grandson if possible. After all, this has been his dream all along.
If I could have Grandson, I wouldn't give him a Grand General!
Chen Gong whispered, "King of Bohai, this is Enfeoffment before Your Majesty came to the throne. Your Majesty may be hinting at something."
"Heir Apparent's Position... has been hanging for too long."
Like many people who heard the news, Chen Gong also speculated on the deep meaning contained in Enfeoffment after learning that Son of Heaven named the newly born Dragon Son as King of Bohai.
"Whatever."
Lü Bu said disapprovingly.
He thought it was nothing. Even if Son of Heaven had the idea of establishing Dragon Son as the crown prince, it was understandable.
After all, Lü Lingqi did not give birth to Dragon Son. Is it possible that Son of Heaven can still establish the princess as the heir apparent?
His old Lü Family might just not be alive.
Seeing Lü Bu's indifferent attitude, Chen Gong was stunned, and then felt relieved.
That's all, it's okay not to argue.
The battle for the crown prince has been the most dangerous since ancient times. Lü Lingqi did not give birth to a son, and Lü Bu can see that this may be God's will.
With the achievements Lü Bu has made so far, as long as he does not get involved in these things, there will be no problem in being prosperous for several generations.
This is not a bad thing for Lü Bu either.
"Tap-ta--"
"Tap-ta--"
Outside Chang'an City, a Soldiers rode a horse and ran towards City Gate along Official Road. The Soldierss guarding the Chang'an City gate wanted to stop it, but when they saw the flying dragon riding behind the Famous Scholars pawn, they hurriedly got out of the way.
