Liu Xie quickly looked outside the city and secretly scolded Lu Xuan for being cunning. He used his belt edict to trigger a conflict with Cao Cao. Liu Xie withdrew his gaze and looked at Cao Cao again. He smiled and looked a little embarrassed and said quickly:
"King Qin, listen to my explanation."
Cao Cao's voice was cold and he said, "Your Majesty really wants to give me an explanation."
There was anger in his heart, and he no longer had any worries when speaking, and said forcefully: "I am wholeheartedly committed to continuing the Han Dynasty and working hard for the stability of the Han Dynasty. But why did your Majesty rebel?"
Liu Xie was even more embarrassed.
Now it seems that he made the ultimate mistake when he handed the edict to Yang Biao and forwarded it to Lu Xuan.
Cao Cao even mocked him for rebelling?
The emperor rebelled against himself.
Such taunting words made Liu Xie's face burn and he lost his dignity.
Liu Xie stabilized his mood and quickly explained: "King Qin, this edict on clothing does exist and was written by me myself. However, the edict was not given to Lu Xuan recently. It was when Lu Xuan had just become King of Wu and Yang Biao went to deliver the edict.
, given to Lu Xuan."
"At that time, it was Lu Xuan who took the initiative to ask for the edict. I made the arrangement in order to have an extra escape route for Lu Xuan to contain the King of Qin. At that time, Lu Xuan only had Yangzhou and Xuzhou and other places, and was not very powerful."
"I didn't expect that he would be so arrogant."
"I just want to use your strength to fight."
"Lu Xuan took out the belt edict to sow discord and deliberately used King Qin to target me to further undermine King Qin's military morale. King Qin is a very wise man and can definitely see through Lu Xuan's conspiracy."
Liu Xie was very nervous.
He was not afraid that Cao Cao would kill him, because no matter what Cao Cao did, he would not be able to kill him. Liu Xie was afraid of affecting the battle between Cao Cao and Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan cannot be allowed to succeed.
Cao Cao narrowed his eyes slightly and examined Liu Xie. With his wisdom, he could naturally make a clear judgment. When Lu Xuan became King of Wu and he became King of Qin, Liu Xie was controlled by Cao Cao. The first thing he felt was the threat from Cao Cao.
It's normal for Liu Xie to borrow Lu Xuan's help.
However, Cao Cao still felt unhappy.
Guo Jia noticed Cao Cao's emotional change and persuaded him: "Your Majesty, Lu Xuan has ulterior motives and cannot be left alone. At this moment, we must fight back against Lu Xuan and resist Lu Xuan's invasion. Otherwise, Lu Xuan will succeed."
After hearing this, Cao Cao nodded. He turned to look outside the city and said loudly: "Lu Xuan, there is no need to play this little trick to alienate people. It is impossible for me to have a conflict with His Majesty because of this matter."
"well……"
Lu Xuan sighed.
He replied: "Father-in-law, I just think that you are not worthy. You have worked so hard to maintain the Han Dynasty and paid so much, but the emperor is still targeting you."
"Why don't you submit to me?"
"When I unify the world, I will still make my father-in-law the King of Qin, and you will still have the rights you have now. Under my command, you will not be restrained or subject to suspicion, and you are still the head of the country, and your status is more respected, wouldn't it be more
Okay?"
"Father-in-law, how about you think about it?"
Lu Xuan spoke in a very relaxed manner, without any impatience. Yuan Shao was destroyed, and Bingzhou was brought under Lu Xuan's rule. Now only Cao Cao is left, and it no longer affects the overall situation.
Cao Cao's cheeks twitched when he heard this.
Lu Xuan really dared to make promises.
King Qin!
What a big spirit.
However, the King of Qin who was conferred by Lu Xuan was conferred by Lu Xuan. All his actions must be subject to Lu Xuan's arrangements and he has no autonomy. He is now the King of Qin of the Han Dynasty. It seems that he was conferred by the emperor, but in fact, he is the king of Qin.
He earned it hard.
He can do whatever he wants without any scruples, and he doesn't need to look at anyone's face.
This is what he wants.
Cao Cao said coldly: "Lu Xuan, stop talking nonsense and hurry up if you want to attack. With your self-righteous promises, do you think you can confuse me and break the fighting spirit of my army? That is a daydream!"
"Your Majesty is aware of your wolfish ambitions, Lu Xuan."
"If you enter Guanzhong, the Han Dynasty will be destroyed. Therefore, Your Majesty will give me all your support. I and Your Majesty have no quarrel."
"Your words can't affect the morale of the military."
"You are good at pretending to be a ghost, using your big ball to fool and scare people."
Cao Cao said: "You make arrangements now and let your big ball fly over to see whether my king's crossbow is more powerful or your big ball skill is better. This time in Xingyang City, I have prepared everything and are waiting.
You attack."
Lu Xuan shook his head calmly and said, "Father-in-law, you really misunderstood me."
Cao Cao shouted: "You still won't attack?"
"No offense!"
Lu Xuan shook his head and continued: "I just said that I want to have a heart-to-heart talk with my father-in-law. Now, I only talked about the clothing and belt edict. Since my father-in-law doesn't take it to heart, I will tell you other news, which is about Yuan Shao.
of."
Ding!
Cao Cao felt a sudden change in his heart.
During this period, what he was most worried about was that Yuan Shao could not stop him.
It stands to reason that the Bingzhou controlled by Yuan Shao has Taihang Bajing to the east and Cao Cao's Sili area to the south. Yuan Shao has the least pressure. As long as Yuan Shao defends Taihang Bajing, Lu Xuan's army in Jizhou will not be able to affect Yuan Shao.
.
However, Cao Cao was not sure of the situation.
Cao Cao also looked very nervous and asked loudly: "Lu Xuan, what happened to Yuan Shao?"
Lu Xuan chuckled and said: "Yuan Shao died in Taiyuan City, and Bingzhou was captured by my king's men."
boom!!
There was a lot of discussion on the tower.
Yuan Shao restrained Lu Xuan in Bingzhou, which at least influenced Lu Xuan. Now that Yuan Shao is dead, the Jin Kingdom is destroyed, and Bingzhou falls into Lu Xuan's hands, the situation in the entire world has changed dramatically.
Only Guanzhong is left.
The soldiers, civil servants and generals on the towers were all talking.
Everyone looked solemn.
The same goes for Liu Xie. He is very resistant to careerists like Yuan Shao, and he hates Yuan Shao from the bottom of his heart. But compared to Lu Xuan, the person who poses the greatest threat, and Yuan Shao is the one who resists Lu Xuan, Liu Xie hopes that Yuan Shao
win.
Unfortunately, Yuan Shao died.
Liu Xie's heart sank. He clenched his hands tightly in his sleeves and stared at Lu Xuan outside the city, even more resentful.
However, Liu Xie had no choice.
Cao Cao heard the discussion on the city tower and looked at Lu Xuan outside the city. Although the news that Lu Xuan shouted every time was true news. This battle was a battle of unification. What if Lu Xuan lied?
Cao Cao quickly said: "Lu Xuan, Yuan Shao retreated to Bingzhou and was on full alert. The most important point is that Yuan Shao can use Taihang Baxing to resist. Your army is powerful and cannot be defeated at will. Your words are just to confuse people's hearts.
That’s all.”
Lu Xuan sighed and said: "Father-in-law, you know me. I have always been honest and never lied. There is no need for me to lie about such news. This time to kill Yuan Shao, I first planned to rebel against Yuan Xi at Jingxing Pass. With Yuan Xi
Only with his help can we enter Taiyuan unexpectedly."
"Because Yuan Shao's counselor Ju Shu surrendered, the army quickly entered Taiyuan."
"Although Yuan Shao was decadent, he still had some integrity. He refused to surrender and chose to commit suicide."
"After Yuan Shao's death, my king's army adjusted its plan and went south to attack Hedong and Hanoi counties. Currently Zhang He, Gao Lan and Yuan Xi lead 30,000 elite troops to attack Hedong counties. The next step is to attack Hongnong."
"Tian Chou took Zhang Liao and Guan Yu and went south from Dang County to attack Hanoi County. But don't worry, Tian Chou will not come to Xingyang to help. His goal is Luoyang, to deal with Xun Yu in Luoyang."
Lu Xuan said: "Father-in-law, do you think such a clear strategy will be false?"
Wow!!
People on the tower were even more shocked.
Because the rear is dangerous
Once Hongnong County fell, the connection between Chang'an and Luoyang was cut off, and the connection between Xiliang and Luoyang was also cut off. Luoyang was besieged, and grain and grass from the rear could not be transported to Xingyang, and Cao Cao was in even greater trouble.
Kick! Kick!
Liu Xie couldn't help but took two steps back, looking frightened and uneasy, and his eyes were even more hesitant.
He is desperate.
When the Han Dynasty came to him, was it really going to perish? Was he destined to become the king of subjugation?
Liu Xie looked at Cao Cao and placed all his hopes on Cao Cao.
However, Liu Xie was disappointed.
Cao Cao's expression changed again and again. He was very nervous and his breathing became rapid. Cao Cao's chest could be seen rising and falling. Cao Cao was really shocked by Lu Xuan's news. He didn't expect Tian Chou's arrangement to be so vicious.
Lu Xuan dared to tell him, just to directly explain the strategy, and to such a step, it was obvious that Lu Xuan could not lie.
Cao Cao stared at Lu Xuan and suddenly felt that he was encountering the same difficulty as before.
Lu Xuan did not attack, but used the news to disrupt the morale of the troops on his tower and disrupt everyone's fighting spirit. If Hongnong would not be attacked, Luoyang would not be attacked, and even if Yuan Shao were defeated, the morale of the troops would not be too high.
Big impact.
But things were different when the rear was in chaos.
People's hearts are unsettled.
Ma Chao was very angry with Lu Xuan. He said loudly: "King Qin, although Lu Xuan is fierce, we may not be incapable of fighting."
Cao Cao came back to his senses, looked at the high-spirited Ma Chao, and asked, "Meng Qi, what are your plans?"
He was a little ashamed.
A young man like Ma Chao dared to fight and had the fighting spirit to fight Lu Xuan. Why did he lose his fighting spirit when he was here?
Ma Chao said in a deep voice: "Lu Xuan's news should be true. However, although the army outside Lu Xuan's city is powerful, it is not as brave as the Yizhou army."
"In Lu Xuan's army in Yizhou, Zhang Ren was able to defend it as immovable as a mountain and was a famous general. Zhao Yun was skilled in martial arts and was invincible with a spear. In addition, Gan Ning and others were also brave and powerful generals."
"However, there are no particularly powerful people under Zhou Yu."
"Why don't we go directly to attack?"
"Anyway, at this point, there is nothing to plan or choose. Let's forget it and fight directly with Lu Xuan. If we defeat Lu Xuan, we will have a way out. If we lose, we won't get any worse."
Cao Cao stroked his beard and thought carefully.
He did not decide immediately. He looked at Guo Jia, Xun You, Cheng Yu and others and asked, "What do you think?"
"I object!"
Guo Jia looked determined and said: "Now, I am not sure whether the rear is really being raided. Therefore, you cannot let Lu Xuan arouse your emotions or be influenced by Lu Xuan. Please wait for the time being and wait for our information."
"If you are not sure of the news, act haphazardly. This is the most inappropriate arrangement."
"Please, Your Majesty, be clear about this."
Guo Jia also felt that Lu Xuan's news should be true, but what if it was Lu Xuan's fault? Did Lu Xuan lie and lie in the end?
Cao Cao thought for a while, calmed down a little, and said: "Feng Xiao's analysis makes sense."
"Report!"
At this moment, a sentry came quickly.
The sentry ran back from the west gate of Xingyang, looking anxious, and reported: "Report to the King of Qin, Shangshu Xun sent a message, saying that Hedong and Hanoi were attacked, and he was deploying troops to defend. Shangshu Xun said, let the King of Qin not worry about it
In the rear, just deal with the Xingyang war."
Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "I understand."
At this moment, when Cao Cao heard the news about Xun Yu, he was both relieved and helpless. Fortunately, Xun Yu was as calm as ever, so that he did not need to go back to defend. Cao Cao was helpless at the current situation, and Lu Xuan really killed Yuan Shao and captured Bingzhou.
