Three Kingdoms: I, the eldest son of Cao, a loving father of a great man!

Chapter 342 I'm Not the Emperor Now
At this time, Liu Xie desperately wanted to return to Chang'an and Luoyang.

After all, he was not comfortable at all in this bitterly cold place in Xiliang.

As a prince, he has been pampered since childhood.

The climate in Liangzhou is dry and windy. When he came here, he couldn't eat well and sleep well. His face turned pale all day long because he was not accustomed to the acclimatization.

Now, he is no longer the emperor, so he feels that he is no longer useful to people like Li Jue.

Li Jue looked at Liu Xie who was full of expectations and shook his head slightly: "Your Majesty, don't think about this matter."

When Liu Xie heard that Li Jue was still calling him His Majesty, he immediately became anxious.

"General Li, I have told you that I am no longer the emperor, why do you still call me your majesty?"

"The Cao family said they want Liu Bian to be the emperor and they don't recognize you as the emperor, so we will be like him and we won't recognize Liu Bian, only you, your majesty."

Li Jue explained lightly that for the leaders of Xiliang, Liu Xie was their trump card for raising an army.

If there were no Liu Xie, then their attack on Xiliang would be unjust and unjust.

Liu Xie wanted to continue arguing at this time, but Guo Bang on the side didn't want to listen to him anymore.

Guo Bang frowned and said, "Okay, stop talking nonsense. I am looking down on you by making you the emperor. If you don't become the emperor, then there is no use in raising you!"

When he said this, Guo Bang's eyes revealed a hint of murderous intent.

After Liu Xie saw Guo Si's appearance, he immediately stopped talking.

Because he knew that this guy Guo Si really dared to kill him.

When Li Jue on the side saw Guo Si's appearance, he couldn't help but sighed helplessly: "Okay, Brother Guo, don't scare our Emperor."

After saying this, Li Jue looked at Liu Xie again: "Your Majesty, it's not that we two brothers don't want to let you go, it's just that we are not the only ones who have the final say in the Xiliang Army now."

"Even if the two of us agree to let Your Majesty leave, Ma Teng and Han Sui will not let you leave, so you must not think of leaving Xiliang in the future."

"If Ma Teng and Han Sui find out, I'm afraid your Majesty's life will really not be saved!"

Li Jue and Guo Si, one was a bad guy and the other was a red face, which immediately shocked Liu Xie.

At this time, Liu Xie was still resentful in his heart, resenting why he was born in an emperor's family.

But what he didn't know was that he was lucky to be born in an emperor's family.

After all, in these troubled times, countless children of ordinary people have died.

……

As for Luoyang, after Liu Bian ascended the throne, the emperor and his ministers were united, and the court was in good shape.

Even when he went to court, Liu Bian said: "Cao Sima and General Hussar are my Huo Guang!"

Cao Cao was very moved by this title.

You know, Cao Cao's background was not good compared to others. His biggest dream as a child was to become a general in the Western Conquest.

As a result, he has now made it all the way to Sima, ranking above the Three Dukes.

Cao Cao knew that most of the credit for reaching his current position was his son's.

And the current emperor respects him so much that he is willing to be a loyal Han minister for the country!

On the other hand, Cao Ang, after hearing this title, couldn't help but think of the turbulent Queen Mother He.

"I may not be Huo Guang, but I must be your stepfather."

Cao Ang just thought about this, but didn't dare to say it.

Moreover, Liu Bian also gave Cao Cao and Cao Ang special privileges, so that they could enter and leave the palace at will.Cao Cao entered the palace to discuss national affairs with Liu Xie, but Cao Ang...

Those ministers also knew that Liu Bian regarded Cao Cao as his uncle and Cao Ang as his eldest brother.

And Cao Ang especially wanted to say loudly that this relationship was wrong.

It's a pity that he can't, so he can only discuss it on his own terms.

……

At this time, in the court, Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun and other veteran generals were in a semi-retired state.

Liu Bian could only ask Cao Cao and Cao Ang for their opinions on these matters regarding war.

However, since there were so many ministers in the previous court, he did not dare to name them, so he could only ask.

"Everyone, my younger brother, King Chenliu, has grown up with me since childhood. Although he is not born from my mother, I can regard him as my biological brother."

"Now that the Xiliang rebels are holding him hostage and refusing to let him back, what should we do?"

None of the ministers were stupid, so if Cao Cao and Cao Ang didn't express their opinions, they would naturally not say anything more.

After Cao Cao and Cao Ang looked at each other, Cao Ang stood up.

"Your Majesty, I believe that Li Jue and Guo Si are just brave and foolhardy men. The remnants of the Xiliang soldiers they brought back are nothing to be afraid of."

"Now the only threats to King Chenliu are Ma Teng and Han Sui from Xiliang. As long as the imperial court sends troops to Xiliang, the Xiliang army will definitely be defeated."

When Liu Bian heard this, he couldn't help but asked nervously: "General Cao, I heard that the Xiliang army has 30 people, and each one of them is as fierce as a wild wolf. If we fight, what are the chances of winning?! "

Cao Ang smiled when he heard this: "Your Majesty, you are overly worried. The Xiliang Army only claims to have 30 troops. These 30 troops include the defeated generals brought back by Li Jue and Han Sui, as well as the new recruits they have just recruited."

"Actually, the number of combat-effective soldiers they have is probably less than [-]."

Everyone was a little shocked when they heard this.

Because according to the news from various sources, the Xiliang army does have 30 soldiers.

But now Cao Ang says that the Xiliang army can really fight less than [-]?
You are lying to yourself. Young people, you can lie to others, but don’t lie to yourself.

Even Cao Cao on the side frowned slightly at this time, but he was more willing to believe his son.

Cao Ang was quite confident about this.

Because he had already controlled the golden eagle to fly around Xiliang, and through the shared vision, he saw where the Xiliang army was stationed.

The Xiliang army where Li Jue and Guo Si were stationed were so disorganized that they didn't even have training.

After the new recruits arrived, they spent all day eating, drinking, and having fun, and they didn't look like an army at all.

As for Ma Teng and Han Sui, it was much better, because the Xiliang army they brought out were all veterans.

It's really a good way for veterans to train new recruits.

But it will take some time to form a fighting force.

After all, Ma Teng and Han Sui were not very wealthy. To recruit new troops, they needed to pay military salaries, make baggage, and distribute food and grass.

These all cost money!

……

After Liu Bian listened to Cao Ang's narrative, he asked, "General Cao, shall we fight directly next?"

When Cao Ang heard this, he smiled and said, "I won't fight even if I fight!"
