Chapter 20 Lao Cao, are you trying to do something!
Lu Yan kept recalling the second half of Liu Xie's life in his mind.
Although Liu Xie did not live a free life in the hands of Boss Cao, he could still be considered comfortable. Not only did he have food and drink, Cao Cao even married his daughter to him as his wife.
Even if Liu Xie wanted to mess with him behind his back, he didn't kill Liu Xie directly.
There are very few examples of the last emperor like Liu Xie being able to spend the rest of his life peacefully. The Cao family was still kind and righteous to him.
After finishing the meal, Liu Xie was extremely satisfied and was about to put down the bowl and chopsticks.
At this time, another messenger suddenly broke in and reported in a panic: "Report! Report!
His Majesty!
The defeated soldiers who escaped brought news that the Baibo army had been defeated and the Xiliang bandits were about to come and kill them."
"Crash!" The bowl and chopsticks in Liu Xie's hands fell to the ground before he could put them down in time, and the bowl was broken into several large pieces.
There were still some grains of rice on the fragments that had not been shaved cleanly. The concubines and ministers around them were so greedy that they swallowed their saliva...
As soon as they heard that the Xiliang army was coming again, a group of concubines and maids not far behind Liu Xie suddenly let out a burst of exclamations.
They have now completely broken up with the Xiliang Army. What will be the consequences if they are caught?
I'm afraid it would be a good thing to die first when the time comes.
If they were captured, they could no longer imagine how miserable the fate would be.
However, Yang Biao took the time to lick the big bowl clean, blinked his lips with lingering thoughts, and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, General Cao's army is almost here."
After Liu Xie heard what Yang Biao said, he immediately asked Cao Cao full of longing: "General Cao, how many troops did you bring on this trip?"
Cao Cao smiled slightly and said: "Thirty thousand infantry and three hundred cavalry."
"Ah!" Cao Cao's words made Liu Xie and the surrounding officials exclaim, "Ah! Just such a small number of people?"
"There are only 30,000 people, how can we stop the Xiliang army?"
"The White Wave Army of 30,000 people has been defeated..."
"How about we pack up our things?"
...
As soon as Cao Cao's words came out, even Yang Biao couldn't sit still.
But he still forced himself to calm down his emotions, and then asked:
"The Xiliang Army has at least 50,000 to 60,000 soldiers, and they are all elites rarely seen in the world.
Meng De, you only brought 30,000 people here, isn't this a bit too much?"
"When we meet on a narrow road, the brave will win, and Cao Cao's army is not a vegetarian!" Cao Cao replied indifferently.
Seeing that Cao Cao was so confident, Liu Xie and Yang Biao stopped talking about it.
But many ministers and concubines and maids have quietly started to pack their only luggage...
At this time, Dong Cheng and Yang Feng also came in.
Judging from the flushed expressions of enjoyment on their faces, they must have eaten several bowls of meat porridge.
"Your Majesty!" Dong Cheng and Yang Feng asked: "Please come here, do you have any instructions?"
Liu Xie's tone trembled slightly and he said: "Two generals, the Xiliang Army, are coming to kill!"
When Yang Feng heard this, he knew that his old friends in the Baibo Army were probably doomed, but they were all good people. If they could escape, they would definitely treat their families well...
Dong Cheng looked at Cao Cao and others, clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, General Cao, for the meat porridge. Brothers haven't had a full meal in a long time."
Cao Cao also clasped his fists and returned the greeting: "It doesn't matter, the two generals will just protect your majesty, and the Xiliang army will be handed over to our general from the mainland."
Lu Yan: "?"
Liu Xie, Yang Biao, Dong Cheng and Yang Feng: "???"
"Boss Cao, are you hungry? Why don't you go and drink two bowls of porridge to replenish your brain?" Lu Yan complained crazily in his heart, "What the hell, as soon as I came in, you pushed me forward crazily.
Your lungs!"
"This..." Everyone looked at Lu Yan in shock.
It was Taiwei Yang Biao who was the first to come to his senses and asked: "Meng De... isn't Lu Yan the prefect of Chenliu?"
"Yes, why did you become a general again?" Liu Xie added.
Lu Yan spread his hands and said, "I want to know too..."
Cao Cao's actions were all to increase Lu Yan's exposure.
Now that your exposure is high, will you still have the nerve to go back and fish for fish in the future?
Evil intentions! Shrimp and pig heart!
Lu Yan has not yet guessed Cao Cao's intentions. If he knew, he would definitely make the above two comments.
Cao Cao pointed at Zhao Yun and said, "I believe you all have heard of Changshan Zhao Zilong, right?"
"He is Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong who fought between the three heroes of Hulao Pass and Lu Bu?"
"It turned out that he was the hero who defeated Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo. No wonder he has such heroic spirit!"
"It turns out to be General Zhao!" Yang Biao's eyes lit up and he said happily: "It seems that the outcome of this battle is not yet known!"
Why did everyone get excited when they heard Zhao Yun's name?
The Xiliang army is the most courageous, and Lu Bu's name is equivalent to the God of War in their hearts!
Although it took the combined efforts of three people to defeat Lu Bu, how many people in this world can defeat Lu Bu head-on?
If the Xiliang army knew that Zhao Yun was here, 10% of their combat strength would probably be lost. This is good news.
"But everyone, you only know Zhao Yun's name, why don't you know Lu Yan's name?"
"Is Lu Yan famous..."
"Never heard of it..." Everyone was at a loss.
"We are trapped in Chang'an and have no information. Please ask Meng De to speak frankly!" Yang Biao couldn't stand being manipulated by Cao Cao, so he asked directly.
Cao Cao nodded and stopped pretending, "Lü Bu attacked Yanzhou, and it was Lu Yan who led the army to turn the tide.
In the Battle of Puyang, Lu Yan not only defeated Lu Bu and his army, but also captured his family!"
"Wow!" There was an uproar!
"Lu...Lu Aiqing defeated Lu Bu?"
Before everyone could finish being surprised, Cao Cao dropped another piece of news: "Lu Yan not only defeated Lu Bu, but also defeated Yuan Shu in Yingchuan County. Even the battle of Xuzhou was smooth because of his strategy."
On the contrary, Lu Yan calmed down, "Boss Cao is definitely going to cause trouble if he shows off me like this in front of the emperor..."
Without waiting for the emperor to ask questions, Cao Cao continued to boast:
"Since joining my army, Lu Yan has saved me from fire and water several times. He is wise, brave and loyal.
Not only did he manage Chenliu County to be extremely prosperous, but he also never lost a battle when he led the army!"
"Is there really such a person?"
"Wen can bring order to the world with his pen, but military force can mount his horse and fix the world!" Cao Cao's words were serious, but Lu Yan felt a huge pain in his balls.
Even Zhao Yun kept looking sideways, knowing that Boss Cao was hiding evil intentions!
"Such a person... only being the governor of a county is too unqualified..." Liu Xie murmured to himself, he was already shocked by Lu Yan's glorious achievements.
Yang Biao guessed what Cao Cao was thinking, "I want to ask your majesty for an official for my subordinates..."
A scribe with no family or status could be so highly regarded by Cao Cao, "This person must be something special!"
"Mr. Cao, tell me what your plans are..." Lu Yan finally couldn't help but ask.
Yang Biao was suddenly shocked, and then he noticed that Lu Yan was not calling Cao Cao his lord, but Cao Gong!!!
"Could it be? Maybe! Lu Yan is not Cao Cao's man?" Yang Biao felt like a flash of lightning flashed in his heart, "If that's true, maybe such a great talent can be won over!!!"
When Boss Cao saw Yang Biao's hands shaking with excitement, he thought to himself: "I've taken the bait!"
Who is the person who cares least about fame and fortune in this era? Lu Yan!
Who is the person who cares least about royal orthodoxy in this era? Or Lu Yan!
Lu Yan will become an immortal sooner or later. He has said that he just wants to do what he can for the Chinese people before becoming an immortal.
