"Your Excellency, Xun Yu, I would like to pay my respects to Your Majesty." Xun Yu walked into the study and bowed down to Liu Xie very respectfully.

"Xun Wenruo, get up." Liu Xie raised his hand to Xun Yu with a smile on his face.

After Xun Yu stood up, he kept staring at Liu Xie.

He still couldn't figure out how there were some cowardly emperors in the past, how could they suddenly have the aura of an emperor.

In his mind, he was still immersed in the indifference he saw in Liu Xie when he first entered the study, as well as the kingly aura exuding from his whole body.

Although this kind of momentum cannot compare with his current lord Cao Cao, he is indeed a king.

No matter how small a lion is, he is still a male lion.

Xun Yu is now not sure whether Liu Xie's previous performance in Chang'an was an act. If it was an act, then the depth of Liu Xie's thoughts would be truly terrifying.

"Wen Ruo, we haven't seen each other for many years. I think back then, you were still the late emperor's palace guard, but why did you resign later?" Liu Xie asked with a smile on his face.

"Your Majesty, in the first year of the Yonghan Dynasty, Wei Chen was appointed as the palace guard, but Dong Zhuo was still in Beijing at that time. Wei Chen did not want to join forces with Dong Zhuo, so he resigned and returned home." Xun Yu said to Liu Xie respectfully.

"Well, I am very relieved that Wen Ruo has such integrity. Now that Dong Zhuo has been executed for many years, and I have reestablished the imperial court in Luoyang, has Wen Ruo ever thought of coming back to help me?"

"Now that the Han Dynasty is in decline, and there are rebellious ministers outside who want to become a king, does Wen Ruo know?" Liu Xie asked with a smile.

In his heart, Liu Xie actually hoped that Xun Yu could submit to him again. After all, he knew very well how talented Xun Yu was.

If there could be a ranking list of internal affairs during the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, Xun Yu would definitely be in the top five.

Therefore, if Xun Yu can submit to him, then Liu Xie feels that he will definitely have a lot less trouble. But Liu Xie also knows that the possibility of such a thing is very small.

"Your Majesty, I don't know." Xun Yu shook his head and decided to pretend to be stupid with Liu Xie.

After hearing Xun Yu's answer, Liu Xie already understood Xun Yu's thoughts, and he had identified Boss Cao.

Liu Xie nodded, and then continued: "Since Wen Ruo doesn't know about it, let this matter be revealed."

"Well, Wen Ruo, do you have anything to do when you come to Luoyang this time?"

"Back to Your Majesty, I am here to give you a gift on behalf of General Zhendong. Congratulations to Your Majesty for being able to regain control of the Sili and settle in Luoyang." Xun Yu saw that Liu Xie was no longer entangled in letting him enter the court as an official, so he would not be foolish to arrest him.

Don't let go of this matter.

After all, it would be very difficult for him if Liu Xie insisted on him joining the court.

"Meng De is interested." Liu Xie nodded, noncommittal.

"In addition, General Zhendong has one more thing that he would like to report to me on his behalf. The Xiliang bandit army has become a cancer for our great man since Dong Zhuo's rebellion."

"Now Dong Zhuo is executed, but after Li Jue and Guo Si took over the Xiliang Army, they still did not want to repent, but intensified their efforts to persecute His Majesty. Fortunately, Your Majesty was blessed by God and was able to escape from Chang'an."

"But even so, Li Jue and Guo Si are still evil-minded and lead troops to pursue His Majesty in an attempt to control His Majesty."

"Your Majesty is gifted with great talent. He defeated Li Guo and Li Guo at the gate of Luoyang City. The two thieves were the leader. Your Majesty's reputation spread throughout the world. But Your Majesty, the Xiliang army is not limited to Li Jue and Guo Si."

"Wancheng is the place where our Emperor Guangwu Longxing lived, but now it is still occupied by Zhang Xiu's traitor. General Zhendong can't bear this kind of disrespectful behavior."

"Therefore, General Zhendong hopes that His Majesty will agree to let him send troops to annihilate Zhang Xiu and restore peace to the world!"

"In addition, Hulao Pass is the gate of Sili. General Zhendong was previously worried that His Majesty would not be able to defend Luoyang, so he sent people to guard Hulao. Now that the traitors have been eliminated, Hulao Pass, a key point of Sili, should no longer be used.

Let General Zhendong garrison."

"Therefore, General Zhendong hopes that your majesty can send troops to Hulao Pass and take over Hulao Pass." Xun Yu stated the purpose of his visit in one breath.

When Liu Xie heard Xun Yu's words, he looked strange.

He knew very well what Boss Cao planned to do, but what he didn't expect was that Boss Cao was so generous this time and actually planned to give up Hulao directly.

However, Liu Xie did not reply directly to Xun Yu. He was thinking about the pros and cons.

The first is Hulao Pass, which is indeed the gateway to Sili and has the title of the most powerful pass in the world.

As long as a small number of soldiers are needed, the princes of Guandong can be stopped.

Similarly, only a small number of soldiers are needed to prevent the forces within the pass from going eastward.

After all, except for the Hulao Pass, the rest of this area is a great plain. It is not that easy to build a defensive pass.

But Boss Cao gave in so easily, which left Liu Xie a little confused.

Moreover, it was not that Liu Xie couldn't see the formality clearly, he didn't know that this was Boss Cao's exchange condition. He wanted to use Hulao Pass as a bargaining chip to get his permission to attack Zhang Xiu.

But the problem is, this is not needed at all!

Nowadays, anyone with some ability knows that the Han Dynasty is weak and lacks the ability to control various places.

If the local princes are in a good mood, they may take care of themselves as the emperor. If they are in a bad mood, who will care about you?

Don't think this is an exaggeration. You must know that this was the situation in the Central Plains four hundred years ago.

Therefore, even if he disagrees with Cao Cao's crusade against Zhang Xiu, will Cao Cao really listen? If he doesn't say anything else, he just gives himself a "will not accept the order of the foreign king", and there is nothing he can do.

Therefore, no matter how stupid or naive Liu Xie was, he would never think that Boss Cao would use Hulao Pass as a bargaining chip in exchange for an imperial decree of his.

There must be something more important than Hulao Pass, so he chose to use Hulao Pass in exchange. But Liu Xie couldn't think of this thing for a while.

"Wen Ruo is joking, I am still very relieved about Meng De."

Since you can't think of it at the moment, the best way is to refuse.

"I remember that when I escaped from Li Jue and Guo Si, Meng De was the first one who traveled thousands of miles to come to see me. I will keep this true feeling in my heart."

"So I am very relieved that Hulao is in Mengde's hands."

"Your Majesty, General Zhendong has told me that the day I arrive at Hulao Pass will be the time when the army withdraws from Hulao Pass."

"General Zhendong said the truth, so I concluded that at this time, Hulao Pass has been emptied of people. To prevent Hulao Pass from falling into the hands of others, it would be better for your Majesty to send people to garrison it early." Xun Yu seemed to have guessed Liu.

The association refused, so he directly told Liu Xie that Hulao Pass was now empty.

At this time, if it is occupied by others, it will have nothing to do with Cao Mengde.

And when Liu Xie heard what Xun Yu said, his face didn't look good. What does this mean? Doesn't this make it clear, or does it mean that his boss Cao is the one who has the final say?

How can it be repaired? As Liu Xie who traveled through time, he felt that he couldn't swallow this breath!

In this world, the only person who can say what is what, that can only be Liu Xie! Not to mention whether Cao Mengde counts, even if the King of Heaven comes, it won't work! He said it!

However, Liu Xie now also knows that he is not suitable to fall out with Cao Mengde, but if he doesn't fall out, it doesn't mean that he can't find something for Cao Mengde!
