Yang Feng and others only knew how to accept the imperial title with eagerness, but they did not expect to "refuse" the trick. They secretly cursed and were snatched by Cao Zhi first, but they were unwilling to give up. Following Cao Zhi, the drama of "no merit or no reward, no one can receive it, and they are ashamed of it..." was staged. For a moment, the ministers who were granted followed suit, which made Liu Xie overwhelmed and resolutely maintained the original seal.

Of course, this effect is not as good as Cao Zhi's first wave. Everyone from Liu Xie to the ministers understands that this is acting.

Cao Zhi took the talisman made of bamboo and wood and yak tails and a weapon similar to an axe. This was another symbol of Yue, Cao Zhi's supreme power. He stood on the city tower of Dayang City, closed his eyes for a while, and then let Le, who had just been promoted to the Central Army general, go in and out of the city to Li Jue and Guo Si read the edict that they had become rebels.

This is also the first imperial edict Cao Zhi submitted to Emperor Xian Liu Xie today, which gave Li Jue and Guo Si a clear character, which made them shake their internal situation. It is also the first important thing he wanted to do for Liu Xie's court to solve the emperor and his real threat.

At this time, Yang Feng, Dong Cheng, Cao Zhi, Xu Chu, Xu Huang were all there. Yang Feng and others had no opinions on Cao Zhi's anger at Li Jue and Guo Si's behavior. At this time, they had no troops to help Cao Zhi fight against Li Jue, Guo Si and others. Since they had no say in this matter, they were waiting to watch the show. It seems that Cao Zhi could kill Li Jue, Guo Si, or Li Jue, and Guo Si defeated Cao Zhi. Anyway, the two had discussed it, and they had countermeasures and solutions to both outcomes.

Le Jin led two thousand cavalry and three thousand infantry out of the city, and set up a formation ten miles from Dayang City. After Li Jue and Guo Si came up, they asked for an edict and read it in front of the two armies. When Li Jue heard that Emperor Xian seized all his official positions, had a title, and gave him a suicide, he was furious. Before Le Jin could finish reading the article, he was about to lead his troops to rush.

At this time, Guo Si grabbed Li Jue and said, "Why use slaughtering a ox knife to kill a chicken?" Then Guo Si ordered his general Wu Xi to come out to challenge Le Jin.

Wu Xiwu's short figure, with two large hammers weighing dozens of pounds, came out to the formation and asked Le Jin to face the battle. When Le Jin saw a short winter melon, he wanted to fight in the traditional way, so he asked the eunuch who was reading to stop and carry a knife to the front of the formation.

Wu Xi was also quite interesting. He did not fight with Le Jin directly at the beginning, but dismounted himself and performed a set of hammering techniques for Le Jin and the generals of Cao's army, shaking, pulling, hanging, smashing, and slamming, and Gai Wu Xi was sweating all over. At any time, he stood there, and said to himself: "I'm so scared when I see my heavy weapon!"

While Wu Xi was working on the training, somehow Le Jin walked up to him. He had just stopped the move and was about to "fear" Cao Jun opposite him. Suddenly, a wide-back knife face flashed with silver light. Wu Xi, who reacted, hurriedly raised his hammer to block it, but was still one step late. With a "bang!", the wide knife face hit Wu Xi's left face, and the person was slashed and staggered out.

"You, you... I haven't called out yet, how can you..." Wu Xi said angrily, covering his left face, whose blood marks were photographed.

Wu Xi's strange appearance also caused a burst of laughter from the Cao army soldiers behind Le Jin. This made Wu Xi even more uncomfortable. His round face turned red and he was about to attack.

Le Jin looked at Wu Xi's silly look and smiled contemptuously: "What a mess? Go to the battlefield and kill each other. Then someone will wait for you to finish your tricks before fighting. Today I am merciless. Get back quickly and let Guo Si or Li Jue come out to fight me!"

"Wow, I'm so angry!"

Wu Xi was so angry that he swung his double hammers to snatch it out on foot, trying to fight Le Jin. But he was hit by Le Jin so easily, and his aura was lost. He had less than twenty moves to fight. He was repelled by Le Jin again. He was knocked away by an iron hammer and was then called back to the formation by Guo Si.

Next, Li Jue and Guo Si no longer advocated the "warrior spirit" and led their troops to cover up the killing. Le entered the formation, and there were also two generals of Xu Chu and Xu Huang. They were not afraid of fighting with Li Jue and Guo Si's Liangzhou army. The battle lasted for two hours, but the winner was not decided. There were more than a thousand casualties on both sides. Li Jue's general Song Guo, former Dong Zhuo's subordinate Yang Ding and others all proposed not to fight again today. So, Li Jue and others saw that the morale of the soldiers on their side was depressed, so they had to withdraw their troops early and retreat to the garrison.

Le Jin fought against Li Jue, Guo Si's flag was victorious, and the news came back to the city. Emperor Xian Liu Xie was very happy and gave a banquet to reward the soldiers that night.

Cao Zhi was not satisfied with this little victory. After Emperor Xian gave him a banquet, he actively operated with his generals and counselors, arranged troops and mobilized reinforcements to Anyi in the rear, preparing to deal with Li Jue and Guo Si's troops here in one fell swoop.

Dong Cheng, who was watching the formation today, also had a plan. They did not want Cao Zhi to establish the merits of fighting traitors so quickly. Before their strength was enriched, they still needed Li Jue and Guo Si to continue to fight against Cao Zhi.

So, after Dong Cheng and Yang Feng discussed with each other, he sent his confidants to Li Jue and other rebel camps overnight to negotiate with him in the name of the court, and expressed his intention to reconcile with them. Moreover, the "thief" hat that Emperor Xian brought to them may still be removed as long as they are willing to cooperate.

Li Jue and Guo Si observed that the reason for the low morale of soldiers and horses today was largely because Emperor Xian officially named them the crime of "rebel against the party and bandit". Although the emperor's orders can be fartted now, this is limited to high-level officials like Li Jue and Guo Si, who are not willing to join the rebels to ordinary soldiers at the bottom.

Li Jue and Guo Si listened carefully to the conditions proposed by Dong Cheng and Yang Feng. In fact, what Dong Cheng and others asked Li Jue to do was not very difficult. As long as Li Jue and Guo Si increased their troops to Dayang, they tried to fight against Cao's army for as long as possible, rather than fight to the decisive battle. In addition, they were to return the prisoners of their troops. Moreover, Dong Cheng and Yang Feng's troops who wanted to get closer were not to stop them. Even Yang Feng, the subordinates of the bandits such as Li Le, and Dong Cheng also wanted Li Jue and Guo Si to return it.

Li Jue and others had no objection to Dong Cheng and Yang Feng's proposal to confront Cao's army for a long time. They could not suppress Cao Zhi in terms of military strength and could only wait for reinforcements, but they were a little hesitant about returning the troops. Although Dong Cheng, Yang Feng and Li Le's bandits were only four or five hundred, letting them go back and strengthen the strength of the enemy seemed to be a bit like a tiger returning to the mountain.

But at this time, Yang Ding, General Annan, who was born in Dong Zhuo's account, stood up and analyzed: Dong Cheng, Yang Feng's actions could only be fighting for power with the newly arrived Cao Zhi. He reminded Li Jue and others to take advantage of this opportunity to agree to Yang Feng and Dong Cheng's request to further differentiate the upstarts around Emperor Xian, and have achieved the ultimate goal of regaining Emperor Xian.

As soon as Li Jue and Guo Si heard it, they began to have a secret talk with Yang Feng and Dong Cheng, and released some of the captured soldiers. They did not fight against Cao's army in the next three days, but Li Jue and others asked Yang Feng that Dong Cheng must get an edict to rehabilitate their identity as soon as possible in order to truly cooperate with them.

Cao Zhi was very surprised. In the past three days, why the enemy's army had no sound? His additional troops had been brought by Zhao Yun yesterday. His total strength had exceeded 10,000. He sent Le Jin, Xu Chu, and Zhao Yun to take turns to provoke Li Jue, Guo Si and others to come out of the camp to fight. But they actually acted as turtles and ignored Cao's provocations and scolded Ren.

Li Jue and Guo Si's strange actions immediately attracted the attention of Cao Zhi and his subordinates. They also knew that Li Jue and Guo Si were planning a major action, but they didn't guess that Yang Feng and Dong Cheng were doing it.

Yang Feng and Dong Cheng also had a lip service with Li Jue and Guo Si. They wanted to use them to deal with Cao Zhi, but they did not really want to help Li Jue and Guo Si. Besides, Emperor Xian now relies heavily on Cao Zhi. He just approved to report to him to attack Li Jue and Guo Si, how could he take it back? But there has been some progress during the period of gathering the troops. Yang Feng and Dong Cheng kept sending people out to find and gather the scattered troops. In addition, Li Jue and Guo Si sent back prisoners, they soon collected more than a thousand troops.

With a little strength, the two of them became more active. Yang Feng and Dong Cheng are now united in the enemy and are united in dealing with Cao Zhi, but in private, they still have their own thoughts.

Yang Feng has gathered more troops than Dong Cheng now, so Yang Feng has been straightforward in front of Dong Cheng recently and speaks a bit like he is the main one. But Dong Cheng is not a good deal, he is related to the royal family. He has been running to Emperor Xian more diligently recently, and he has brought his thirteen-year-old daughter to the saint to pay homage to the emperor several times.

Dong Cheng's efforts were rewarded in a few days. Because Li Jue, Guo Si and others were suppressed by Cao Zhi, some officials who loved flattery frequently instilled in Emperor Xian that the upcoming turmoil was about to quell the chaos. After a few days of peace, Liu Xie relaxed his mind and announced it to the world on the sixth day of entering Dayang City, marrying Dong Cheng's youngest daughter, and quickly enfeoffed her as the imperial concubine.

This was a big deal, but it caused different reactions from all parties. Dong Cheng was very proud of becoming the new father-in-law. His ally Yang Feng was shocked. He didn't know about it in advance. Dong Cheng became the father-in-law and was a family with the emperor, and his relationship was one step further than him.

Yang Feng secretly hated Dong Cheng to make trouble under his nose, so he immediately took action and intimidated contact with Li Jue's subordinates and his former colleagues to strive to achieve some amazing achievements.

During this period, Cao Zhi's ambition to do something for Emperor Xian and the entire Han Dynasty became increasingly expanding. In order to eliminate the two cancers of Li Jue and Guo Si as soon as possible, he quickly dispatched troops from Danyang and adjusted his weapons.

Ten days after Wang Ping and Cao Zhi entered Dayang City, they arrived in Dayang with 2,000 soldiers, a group of "flying spears" and explosives. Cao Zhi had the most deterrent weapons in his hands, and had sufficient troops, so he ordered Li Dian and Man Chong's reinforcements to detour the south bank of the Yellow River, to capture Li Jue and Guo Si's retreat, and to prepare to encircle Li Jue, Guo Si and others in one fell swoop, annihilate them on both sides of the Yellow River.
