In Luoyang City, Chen Mansion.

This mansion, along with many mansions such as Wei and Zheng, was sealed by Liu He that day. However, after Yuan Shu came, he released Chen Ji and others from the prison, and these mansions were naturally resealed and allowed everyone to live back.

Now these hundreds of heads of the family gathered in the Chen Mansion, and they were all nervous.

In the lobby, Chen Ji and several other heads of the highest prestigious family were sitting upright. After months of hard work, these people are no longer as glorious as before. Each of them is a little haggard and their faces are much worse.

"Mr. Chen, will Cao Cao meet me? He has always defected to Liu He's son. We have finally escaped. If we are detained by Cao A-man and handed over to Liu He for disposal, what should we do?"

Zheng Tai was worried, his eyebrows almost squeezed together.

Chen Ji's face seemed much more relaxed: "Cao Cao has a great ambition and is never willing to surrender to others. If he wants to succeed, he will naturally be able to support hundreds of families. Now that Yuan Shao is dead, Yuan Shu is defeated, and the Yuan family has been destroyed. It is only in the past few days that if we want to revive the family, we must find a powerful prince to cooperate. I think Cao Cao is an excellent candidate."

Wei Ji nodded and said, "Well, if our aristocratic families can support him, the scholars and talents in the world will not gather under his command? On the contrary, without our help, he would not be able to escape the annexation of Liu He. I don't believe that Cao Cao doesn't understand this."

"Well, you two are right." Zheng Tai was also relieved.

Chen Ji's eyes were a little cold: "Hmph, after we get back on our feet, we will definitely get Liu He's child back this blood debt!"

"Yes, there are Yang Biao, Wang Yun, Cui Lie and other generations, who rebel against the gentry, and they should be punished for their crimes!"

Many heads of the family were filled with righteous indignation.

At this time, a man hurriedly ran over: "My heads of the family, there is a team of soldiers coming to this place, under the banner of Cao."

"Oh? So fast." Chen Ji was overjoyed.

"How is it? If I ask him Cao Cao to come to pay a visit in person, he will definitely come. Hahaha, you are all hungry, are you waiting for him to hold a banquet."

Everyone praised Chen Ji: "Mr. Chen is a masterpiece, I admire him, I admire him!"

One of the heads of the family asked, "Will you go out to greet me?"

Chen Ji was still sitting in his seat: "We are all his elders, how can we welcome the younger generation? Just wait in the mansion."

As he was speaking, a voice came from outside the mansion: "Hurry, all enclose and all exits are blocked!"

When Chen Ji heard this, he suddenly felt alert.

Immediately afterwards, a general led a group of soldiers and walked in from outside the gate with his head held high.

"Who are you? Where is Cao Cao? Why don't you come to pay a visit to me?"

Wei Ji strode over and asked sternly.

Cao Hong looked up at him and sneered: "Hmph, what are you? How dare you call my lord's name?"

Wei Ji was very angry by his attitude: "You...you dare to speak to me like this. I am the head of the Wei family in Hedong. Wei Ji, even if Cao Cao comes, he will salute me!"

Cao Hong looked at him like an idiot: "So you are Wei Ji? I am the general of Yanzhou Cao Hong. Why, do you also want this general to salute you?"

"You... are rude, you are simply too rude. Are you all rude under Cao Aman's commands?

Wei Ji was furious, but Cao Hong was too lazy to look at him directly.

Zheng Tai also walked over: "We are waiting to ask Cao Cao to prepare the banquet. How is he ready? Why did he only send you here? Where is he?"

Many family leaders around also asked questions, "They were so hungry."

"Yes, when will the banquet start?"

Cao Hong sneered: "It's ridiculous. A group of traitors should have been killed long ago, but they dared to be so arrogant. I think you are looking for death. The person is coming~"

Chen Ji jumped up instantly and looked at him nervously: "What are you going to do? We are all the heads of the top-notch families today, so you can't do it nonsense!"

Cao Hong ignored him at all and waved to the soldiers behind him: "According to the Han laws, these traitors have long been convicted of death. The soldiers immediately sealed all the mansions, and all the people in the mansions will be executed according to the law. In addition, search for these people in their own mansions. If there are other people, regardless of identity, gender, age, and age, they will be killed on the spot!"

"What! Cao Hong, how dare you do this!"

All the heads of the family were suddenly panicked.

"I want to see Cao Cao and call Cao Cao!"

Chen Ji's eyes were scarlet and he rushed over, and his hands were about to catch Cao Hong.

"Old guy, looking for death!"

Cao Hong was not polite, and waved a knife and slashed at Chen Ji in person.

Immediately afterwards, screams continued in this huge Chen family mansion. At night, a burst of fire rose into the sky in the mansion.

However, just at the gate of Luoyang City, a group of convoys were driving in from outside the city.

A general hurriedly ran down from the city gate, his face full of smiles.

"I didn't expect that the public station would arrive five days earlier than expected. With this batch of food, grass and weapons, our army should be worry-free."

The leader of the convoy was Chen Gong and Chen Gongtai. He looked at the general and smiled back.

"Today is General Le Jin responsible for defending the city? Not bad, the general is calm and well-behaved. If a general defends the city, he will be foolproof."

Le Jin was very happy to receive his praise: "Haha, the Gongtai doesn't praise people easily. Le is very honored today. If the lord learned that the Gongtai was ready to ship all the supplies to Luoyang so quickly, he would be very surprised."

Chen Gong looked dissatisfied: "The lord ordered the raising of supplies that day, because he was worried that he would continue to fight with Yuan Shu here. Now that Yuan Shu has been defeated, Luoyang has been obtained by our army, and the court is about to return soon. After the war is over, what should we do? If I had known that the situation here is like this, I would not have come so rushing."

"Who said that the war was over? Our army clearly needs..."

Le Jin opened his mouth and shouted, but when he said halfway, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have said too much, so he hurriedly shut up.

Chen Gong frowned: "Why, who else do you want to hit by the lord?"

"Ah... no, it's because I was speechless, I said it wrong, I said it wrong."

"Is that true?" Chen Gong was skeptical.

Le Jin hurriedly changed the topic: "Oh, the lord is in his own residence in the city, go to the office."

Seeing that he refused to say anything, Chen Gong had to give up.

"Okay, the general is very happy to defend the city. I've gone to see my lord first."

After saying that, he gave the convoy a few instructions and ran in one direction.

After running a few steps, he saw the fire not far away: "Well? Why is there such a fire in the city? It's still in the direction of the north city, but the north city is full of the mansions of high-ranking officials and nobles, and many ministers have retreated to Jinyang. How could anyone be there? Oh no, is it because the Cao Mansion caught fire?"

When Chen Gong thought of this, he became anxious and quickly ran over with a whip.

Soon he came to the fire, but at first glance, he was even more puzzled.

The mansion with a vast area was indeed in full swing, but not only did no one put out the fire, but there were still a group of soldiers around him holding torches and lit them one by one in the places where there was no fire.
