Chapter 966 Assassination

The reason why Cao Cao trusted Guo Jia was that he planned to wait until a hundred years later to entrust Guo Jia with his funeral affairs and let him assist his descendants as the minister of Tuogu. Minister Tuogu is naturally the most trusted minister, and the reason why Guo Jia was able to gain Cao Cao's trust was because he had a good understanding of people's hearts.

"Given Jiuxi and the title of Duke of Qin?"

Liu Ye was a little stunned: "How could the emperor reward you so generously?"

"Haha, the general is a hero of the country, so the emperor will naturally not be stingy with rewards." Guo Jia said with a smile.

Seeing Guo Jia's smile, Liu Ye still didn't understand that it was Guo Jia's doing. He just shook his head and said with a smile: "Feng Xiao is really resolute and resolute. I didn't even know he had already done it."

In fact, Liu Ye also had a feeling in his heart. He also thought about it carefully, should he usurp the throne? But before he could think about it, the identities of Jiuxi and Duke Qin came one after another. Now he somewhat understands how Zhou Taizu Guo Wei and Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin felt back then. Sometimes they didn't really want to usurp the throne. At this time, even if they didn't want to be emperor, their subordinates would push them to do it.

The court's efficiency was naturally very high. Jiuxi was quickly delivered to Liu Ye's house, and Liu Ye was granted the title of Duke of Qin at the same time.

Princess Wannian thoughtfully put on the Gunmian court dress for Liu Ye. Liu Ye was already tall and majestic. After putting on this noble Gunmian court dress, Liu Ye looked even more energetic and majestic.

"Okay, I'm going to see the emperor." Liu Ye waved his hand.

"Well, please slow down." Liu Wannian looked at Liu Ye with a complicated expression. She had been in the palace for many years and had some experience in politics. She naturally understood what adding Jiuxi meant.

Liu Ye squeezed her hand, said nothing, lifted the curtain and got into the carriage.

"drive!"

The Huben guards were fully clothed and rushed out in the carriage. Next to the carriage were hundreds of stern-looking Huben guards accompanying the carriage to prevent anyone from disturbing the driver without opening their eyes.

"The general is traveling!"

On both sides of the street were people from Luoyang City, who were all excitedly watching on both sides of the road, looking at General Liu Ye with admiration.

"Did you see that, kid? This is the General. You must work hard in the future so that you can join the army and serve the General."

"I know, Daddy."

Although the number of people on both sides of the road was large, they seemed to be very orderly. On both sides of the road, there were densely packed soldiers of the Northern Army forming a human wall, blocking the people. Secondly, they will naturally not rush forward rashly and disturb the frame.

However, at this moment, something unexpected happened.

All I saw was an honest and honest farmer, his arm hanging down, and a short sword slowly drawn out of his sleeve.

"Liu Ye is a traitor and a traitor, and I have been ordered to kill you!"

The expression on the farmer's face changed instantly, and then he held a short sword and inserted it into the back of the neck of a Northern Army soldier. He pulled it out instantly and blood spurted out.

"Kill!"

The surrounding Huben guards were naturally furious, and Guan Hai even ordered: "Capture and kill this man quickly, don't disturb the general's carriage!"

It was the critical moment when the general was heading to the palace to be crowned emperor. What happened at this moment made Guan Haiqing, the captain of the personal guard, embarrassed?

In fact, since Liu Ye settled in Luoyang, Guan Hai has basically not encountered anything. After all, Liu Ye himself is a top expert, and there are naturally not many people who dare to take action against him.

Guan Hai was so angry that he personally pulled out his long sword and killed him angrily.

But the killer dressed as a farmer still shouted: "Kill Liu Thief!"

"Bold! If you dare to assassinate the general, what crime should you deserve?"

Without saying a word, Guan Hai swept out with his sword. Since he followed Liu Ye, he has naturally received a lot of guidance in martial arts, which can be said to have improved by leaps and bounds. He struck out with anger again, and naturally swept through thousands of troops, making him unstoppable.

The farmer hurriedly raised his sword to resist, but the dagger flew directly into the sky.

"Kneel down!"

Guan Hai originally wanted to kill him on the spot, but on second thought he thought it would be better to leave him alive, so he placed the back of a knife on his back and forced him to kneel down.

"Who assigned you? Tell me!"

Guan Hai shouted loudly, but the killer snorted coldly, without saying a word and with a fierce expression. Guan Hai's expression suddenly changed: "Huh?"

Click!

"ah!"

"You still want to bite your tongue and commit suicide? No way!"

Guan Hai saw that the killer was about to bite his tongue and commit suicide, so he decisively pinched off his lower jaw. At the same time, he ordered the Huben guards on the left and right: "Come on, take this man to prison and torture him severely!"

"Here!"

The Huben guards on the left and right had already swarmed up, suppressed the killer, and took him down. The people in the city on the side were in chaos and frightened. Guan Hai tried to comfort them and finally stabilized the order and returned to Liu Ye's carriage and horse.

Liu Ye frowned and said, "What's going on? Who is he?" There was actually an assassin lurking in Luoyang City to assassinate him. Is this really a big deal? There were many assassins in ancient times, and it was not uncommon for them to assassinate important political figures. Not to mention Nie Zheng's assassination of Yao Li and Jing Ke's assassination of the King of Qin. Let’s just talk about the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty. At that time, the powerful Gongsun Du separatized Shu. Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu sent several generals from Yuntai’s twenty-eight generals to conquer. As a result, they were all assassinated one after another, which led to the unfavorable war. Later, Wu Han exhausted all his efforts. After a lot of hard work, we finally won Chengdu.

Liu Ye's prestige is now at its peak, and he is the soul of the Xiliang Army and the Luoyang Court. Once he is assassinated, the consequences will be unimaginable. Especially Liu Ye's child is only four or five years old. Once Liu Ye dies, it will be difficult for the Xiliang Army to survive.

Guan Hai shook his head and said with a shameful expression: "I haven't asked yet. I'm already in prison. I think I can find out through interrogation."

Liu Ye nodded slightly: "Well, I understand, let's keep moving forward."

"Here!"

Guan Hai waved his hand and ordered: "The team continues to move forward, keep the speed!"

The Huben guards protected Liu Ye and continued to move forward, but this time they all stepped up their vigilance and ordered the people to continue to retreat.

Soon, the news of Liu Ye's assassination spread throughout Luoyang. Everyone knew that the general was assassinated on the way, and the murderer was unknown, casting a shadow over the entire Luoyang.

It happened that at this most critical moment, when Liu Ye was bestowed with nine tins and named Duke of Qin, he was assassinated. What on earth was going on?

Liu Ye was also thinking in his mind, who sent the murderer? Was it Cao Cao? If there is anyone who wants to die most now, Cao Cao must be one of them, because as long as he dies, the entire Xiliang Army and the Luoyang court will collapse, and Cao Cao will naturally be able to take advantage of the situation to make progress.
