"Why is there such a thing?"
Cao Cao's eyes widened when he heard what Xiahou Dun said, and he looked at Xiahou Dun in disbelief.
After listening to Cao Cao's words, Xiahou Dun patted his chest and said to Cao Cao seriously: "Prime Minister, this matter has been spread in Luoyang."
After hearing what Xiahou Dun said, Cao Cao lowered his head and thought for a moment, and then said to Xiahou Dun in a heavy tone: "Rumors are worse than being believed.
This is probably a plan to sow discord between Liu Bei and Soochow."
"Prime Minister, you are not afraid of ten thousand, just in case.
If these two people really have such thoughts, we will be in danger."
After hearing what Cao Cao said, Xiahou Dun said to Cao Cao with a somewhat anxious expression.
Cao Cao looked at Xiahoudun's eager expression, touched his beard, and then said to Xiahoudun calmly: "As the saying goes, don't trust the people you trust, but don't trust the people you employ.
Since Cai Mao has surrendered to me, I naturally have to trust him. " After hearing what Cao Cao said, Xiahou Dun sighed helplessly, and then left silently.
Cao Cao looked at Xiahou Dun's leaving figure, closed his eyes silently, then thought for a moment, and finally sighed helplessly, and then said calmly to Xu Chu behind him: "Send someone to monitor it.
Cai Hao and Zhang Yun, if anything happens to them, please report it to me immediately."
"Yes, Prime Minister, I will arrange the arrangements immediately."
After hearing Cao Cao's words, Xu Chu bowed to Cao Cao with fists in his hands, and then walked out quickly.
Cao Cao looked at Xu Chu's leaving figure, lowered his head silently, and continued to write a letter to Cao Pi with the brush in his hand.
Not long after, I saw a guard outside walking in with a heavy expression.
Then he looked at Cao Cao who was writing a letter and said in a serious tone: "Prime Minister, there is someone outside who claims to have something important to report to the Prime Minister."
"Oh, who are you?"
Cao Cao put down the brush in his hand, raised his head silently, then looked at the guards in front of him, and asked in a calm tone.
"He seems to be an attendant of a wealthy family."
The guard thought about the clothes the man was wearing, hesitated for a moment, and then replied to Cao Cao.
After hearing what the guard said, Cao Cao silently stroked his beard, and then said in a calm tone: "Bring him in and let me see what happened to him."
Not long after, the guard walked in with a pale attendant.
That was when he saw Cao Cao sitting on his seat, and quickly bowed respectfully to Cao Cao, and said in a panic: "I have seen the Prime Minister."
"Whose servant are you from?
What are you doing here?"
Cao Cao said in a heavy tone as he looked at the servant in front of him.
The attendant looked at Cao Cao's serious face and said to Cao Cao in a cautious tone: "I am an attendant of Cai Mao's mansion.
I found a secret letter when I was cleaning the house a few days ago, and now I have come here to present it to the prime minister. " "Oh, where's the letter?"
After hearing what the man in front of him said, Cao Cao's eyes suddenly widened and he looked at the attendant in front of him in surprise.
Then he hesitated and said in a gloomy tone.
The attendant carefully took out a letter from his sleeve, and then carefully sent it up under Cao Cao's gaze.
Cao Cao took the letter, opened it silently, read it roughly, frowned suddenly, and his face turned a little dark, then he put the letter on the table and looked at the attendant, He said to the attendant with a heavy tone: "Cai Mao is your master, how could you do such a thing?"
"Prime Minister, Cai Hao ordered someone to beat the villain fifty times because he made some mistakes some time ago.
The villain had a grudge, so..."
The servant listened to what Cao Cao said, First he was slightly shocked, and then he spoke to Cao Cao in a low voice.
"The villain is indeed a villain.
Come here, drag this man out and kill him."
Cao Cao looked at the flustered attendants in front of him and hesitated, then said in a cold tone.
After hearing what Cao Cao said, the attendant's face became a little flustered, and what Kuai Liang said a few days ago came to his mind.
If you tell the truth this time, I'm afraid you won't come back in all likelihood.
After you leave, I will definitely treat your wife, children and mother well.
You can complete this mission with peace of mind.
One person's life is worth it in exchange for a worry-free life for the whole family.
"Prime Minister, have mercy on me!

Prime Minister, have mercy on me!"
The attendant showed a trace of relief in his eyes, and then pretended to be frightened and shouted to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao looked at the fading voice, silently looked at the letter in front of him, closed his eyes slightly and thought for a moment, and then said to the guards outside: "Call Yu Jin and Xiahou Dun over here."
Not long after, Yu Jin and Xiahou Dun arrived at Cao Cao's mansion in a panic.
Seeing Cao Cao's gloomy expression, they stood there without daring to speak.
"Yu Jin, what's going on at the water village in the south recently?"
Cao Cao looked at Yu Jin and asked in a somewhat puzzled tone.
"Zhou Yu led the Soochow navy to attack our water stronghold several times, and Cai Mao was unable to avoid the battle."
Yu Jin listened to Cao Cao's words and said to Cao Cao cautiously.
After hearing the news, Cao Cao's face suddenly became heavy, and his suspicion increased greatly.
He was sure that these two people had most likely betrayed him.
"Yu Jin, you immediately rush to the water village to replace the two of them, and the other two people rush back to Xiangyang.
If the two of them don't obey, they will be beheaded immediately."
Cao Cao looked at Yu Jin with a heavy face at this time, and said in a hoarse voice.
Yu Jin said.
"Yes" After hearing what Cao Cao said, Yu Jin's face became slightly solemn, then he saluted Cao Cao and immediately withdrew.
"Yuan Rang" Cao Cao said to Xiahou Dun on the side as he watched Yu Jin exit.
Xiahou Dun listened to Cao Cao's order and had already guessed what Cao Cao had done, so he quickly responded: "The general will be here at the end."
"Immediately lead your troops to surround the Cai Mansion, and be sure not to escape anyone."
Cao Cao looked at Xiahou Dun solemnly and said.
After hearing Cao Cao's words, Xiahou Dun nodded to Cao Cao and immediately retreated.
Yu Jin quickly rushed to Jingzhou Water Village and took out Cao Cao's handwriting.
Without knowing it, Cai Hao and Zhang Yun could only hand over the military power of the navy to Yu Jin, and then hurried back to Xiangyang.
When Cai Mao and Zhang Yun entered Xiangyang City, they were surrounded by Xu Shu and his soldiers, and then they were captured and taken to the prime minister's residence.
"Prime Minister" The two of them were brought to the mansion by Xu Chu and his men with confused faces.
They looked at Cao Cao sitting on the main seat and said to Cao Cao in a heavy tone.
"I have treated you two well and handed over the power of Jingzhou Navy to you two.
You two actually colluded with Zhou Yu to betray me."
Cao Cao looked at the panicked two people in front of him and stood up from his seat.
He got up and immediately spoke to the two of them in a hoarse tone.
"Prime Minister, we did not betray the Prime Minister.
Did the Prime Minister have some misunderstanding?"
After hearing what Cao Cao said, Cai Mao looked at Cao Cao with a panicked expression and said in a panicked tone.
"Read it yourself.
This is the letter found in your house."
Cao Cao slowly walked up to the two of them, then took out a letter from his sleeve and threw it in front of them, and said to them in a gloomy tone.
The two quickly picked up the letter on the ground and read it for a while.
Their expressions suddenly became a little panicked.
Cai Mao said to Cao Cao in a heavy tone: "Prime Minister, I did not do such a thing.
I have not read this letter."
I’ve seen it, I’m afraid this is the enemy’s trick.”
"It's better to believe that they are real than to believe that they are not.
Someone will drag these two people out and behead them, and show their heads to the public."
After hearing what the two people said, Cao Cao immediately closed his eyes slightly, thought for a moment, and then said in a somewhat stern tone.
"The Prime Minister was wronged" Amidst bursts of miserable shouts, the two of them were pulled down by Xu Chu and his guards.

Soon, two bloody heads appeared in the prime minister's mansion.
"Prime Minister, I heard that you beheaded Cai Hao and Zhang Yun.
These two people are our generals.
Why did the Prime Minister kill them?"
At this time, Xun You got the news that Cao Cao had beheaded Cai Hao and Zhang Yun, and he rushed there in surprise.
Looking at the two bloody heads on the table in Cao Cao's mansion, he suddenly looked surprised and asked Cao Cao.
"These two people want to collude with Zhou Yuli and Yingwai to harm me.
Why should I keep them?"
Cao Cao said in a heavy tone as he looked at Xun You who rushed over in a hurry.
"Prime Minister, is there any evidence?"
Xun You frowned immediately after hearing what Cao Cao said, and then looked at the angry Cao Cao in front of him and asked.
"Look," Cao Cao looked at Xun You's confused look, threw the letter in his hand to Xun You, and said in a serious tone.
Xun You took Cao Cao's letter.
After a cursory glance, I frowned slightly.
Then I carefully touched the letter with my hand, and my face suddenly became a little heavy.
"Prime Minister, I'm afraid we have fallen into a trap."
Xun You slowly raised his head and said to Cao Cao in a heavy tone.
"What did you find, Gongda?"
After hearing Xun You's words, Cao Cao suddenly opened his eyes in surprise and asked in a confused tone.
"The ink on this letter, the Prime Minister noticed, could have been completed within five days without this letter.
However, within these ten days, both Cai Hao and Zhang Yun were in Jingzhou Water Village, so it was impossible to receive this letter. , and if they have read this letter, why not destroy it?"
Xun You looked at Cao Cao with a gloomy face at this time, and then said in a hoarse tone.
After hearing what Xun You said, Cao Cao's eyes widened immediately, and then he snatched the letter from Xun You's hand, silently stroking the letter with his hand, and his expression suddenly became solemn.
"Crack" Before Xun You could react, Cao Cao tore the letter in his hand into pieces.
"Gongda" Cao Cao threw aside the torn letter in his hand, and then said to Xun You with cold eyes.
"Yes."
Xun You looked at Cao Cao's gaze, and suddenly felt as if his whole body had been bitten by a snake, and he quickly replied tremblingly.
"You must not let outsiders know about this matter.
You just claim that these two people delayed the military flight and were killed by the truth."
Cao Cao looked at Xun Yu with a cold face, and then said in a hoarse tone
