Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1054 Dutiful Son
Xun Yu saw Liu Xie coming to help him, but he still insisted on not getting up. He knelt on the ground, kowtowed deeply and said: "I have served under Cao Gong for many years because of his kindness."

"At the beginning, Yu had a heart for the Han Dynasty, and seeing what Cao Gong did, the Han court was anxious about it. Therefore, Yu believed that Cao Gong would be the one to restore the Han Dynasty."

"However, along the way, time has changed, things have changed, and people have changed. Today's Duke Cao is no longer the same as before. I am so ashamed of my mistakes that I have brought trouble to Your Majesty. I am ashamed to face the Han court."

Liu Xie helped Xun Yu get up, so he had to sit opposite each other on the ground, and sighed to Xun Yu: "Not only your Majesty, but also me and everyone in the world were deceived by him!"

"But it's not too late for your Majesty to wake up now. Why don't you break up with Cao Cao and come to help me?"

Xun Yu was silent for a while, and finally said dejectedly: "On one side is Your Majesty, and on the other side is Duke Cao who is kind to Yu. It is difficult for Yu to help either side, so all Yu can do now is to die."

"Furthermore, Yu is now terminally ill, and his time is running out. He is even more powerless to save his life. I am truly unworthy of Your Majesty and will never be redeemed by death."

After Liu Xie heard this, he sighed and said, "Why do you think so hard about it? This disease is not terminal. I heard that you have endured it all."

"Is this all over?"

Chief Xun Yu couldn't kneel down, "Yu is seriously ill and cannot be cured. I really can't help your majesty."

After hearing this, Xun Yu raised his head in surprise, but he knew that Liu Xie was always under Cao Cao's surveillance. Under such circumstances, nothing could be done, and it would only cause more people to die. This was the case with Queen Fu. , even so, does Liu Xie still want to try?

When Liu Xie saw it, he felt relieved and said, "It's not suitable for me to stay here for a long time. I leave everything to your Majesty."

Xun Yu was finally moved to tears. He bowed back and said: "The emperor was humiliated and the Han court was covered in dust. It is all our fault!"

After Liu Xie heard this, he bowed to Xun Yu and said, "I am now desperate and have no one to trust me with!"

"I just want your Majesty to help deliver something, and it won't involve anything else. Please consider your past friendship and help me once!"

When Cao Cao heard that Xun Yu was visiting, he quickly walked over to greet him. When he saw Xun Yu leaning on his cane and slumped low, he quickly came up to support Xun Yu and said, "I heard that Wen Ruo has not recovered from his illness, so why bother to come in person?" Now, if something happens, you should send someone to tell Cao, and Cao will go to Wen Ruo's house."

When Liu Xie saw it, he said to Xun Yu: "I know what your commander is capable of. If you really think about it, you can definitely figure it out."

Xun Yu saluted solemnly, "Ming Gong takes care of everything, how can you dare to work for Ming Gong to drive you?"

"I want to entrust your Majesty to go see something and do something for me."

Xun Yu sent Liu Xie away and thought about it all night. Early the next morning, he asked someone to prepare a carriage and went straight to Cao Cao's house.

Seeing Liu Xie's solemn words, Xun Yu hesitated in his heart. If Liu Xie wanted to collude with Cao Cao's enemies and in turn be detrimental to Cao Cao, then he...

Liu Xie hesitated for a while, "What if I still have something to entrust to your Majesty?"

After hearing this, Liu Xie took out a sealed bamboo tube. The bamboo tube was so thin that it was only one finger thick and only one foot long. He solemnly handed it to Xun Yu and then whispered a few words.

After Xun Yu heard this, his eyes widened in disbelief. He was stunned for a while before he nodded heavily.

Xun Yu remained silent. When Liu Xie saw this, he understood something in his heart and said bitterly: "Cao Cao is too sinister. How many of the people who followed him ended up well?
Xun Yu had no choice but to bow and say, "If you don't want to, you really can't."

Xun Yu was stunned and left Xu Du?

Liu Xie saw Xun Yu's expression and knew what he was thinking, and explained: "There is no one around me now, and even if there is, I can't leave Xudu."

"Since the emperor has entrusted you with a trust, you will be crushed to pieces without hesitation!"

Will Cao Cao allow himself to leave?

Liu Xie suddenly said: "Your Majesty, what is your illness?"

"So the only one I can rely on now is your Lord."

Cao Cao's heart froze slightly. There was obviously some resentment in Xun Yu's words. He also called himself Duke Ming instead of King Wei. He was obviously extremely dissatisfied with his being king.

He smiled and said: "It's cold outside. If Wen has anything to say, let's go inside and talk."

The two of them took each other inside and sat down. Xun Yu opened his mouth to speak. To Cao Cao's surprise, Xun Yu didn't mention a word about becoming king. He only said that his illness was difficult to recover and he wanted to return to Yingchuan to retire and spend the rest of his life. Remaining years.

Cao Cao listened and said calmly: "So, Wen Ruo is going back to Yingchuan?"

Xun Yu bowed down and said, "Please also ask Ming Gong to fulfill my wish."

After hearing this, Cao Cao sighed: "It's a pity. For such a big thing, I still want to rely more on Wen Ruo."

Xun Yu paid his respects and said, "Ming Gong now has many talents under his command, and there is no shortage of Xun Yu."

Cao Cao pondered for a long time and said, "Actually, Cao Cao has one more thing that he wants to ask Wen Ruo for."

Xun Yu had no choice but to say: "Ming Gong has an order, and Yu should not dare to refuse."

Cao Cao said loudly: "Since we have returned to Yingchuan, Shouchun is not far away." "Cao Cao's wife and daughter are now trapped in the hands of that fierce tiger, which makes me sleepless day and night."

"So Cao wants to ask Wen Ruo to go on a mission to Shouchun to see if he can bring Cao's wife and daughter back."

Xun Yu heard this, thought for a moment, and then bowed: "I should accept the order."

Cao Cao solemnly asked, "Wen Ruo should be careful not to be killed by the fierce tiger."

Xun Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he leaned down deeply, "Yu had to meet Ming Gong before he could be where he is today. From the beginning to the end, Yu only had Ming Gong as his lord."

"If Yu commits an act of betrayal, he should die to prove his will."

After hearing this, Cao Cao laughed and said, "I just said it casually. Wen Ruo doesn't need to take it seriously."

"In this case, Wen Ruo will go back first and set off on a different day."

Xun Yu said goodbye to Cao Cao and returned home. He breathed a sigh of relief. This time things went surprisingly smoothly. He originally just wanted to go back to Yingchuan and then find an excuse to go to Shouchun. Unexpectedly, Cao Cao actually asked him to go back to Shouchun. It was an unexpected surprise.

But then he became confused, did Cao Cao really not see through his own thoughts, or was he just trying to make things happen?
While he was thinking about it, a servant reported that Cao Cao had sent something.

Xun Yu quickly ordered someone to bring the things in. When he looked at them, he found that they were documents with seals and ribbons from the envoy, as well as letters to Xiu Hu and other items. Finally, there was a box with the character Xun written on it.

Xun Yu opened the box and saw that it was empty.

He thought for a long time, and gradually understood Cao Cao's intention, and couldn't help but laugh miserably.

If he betrays himself, will his family's future be like this box?

A few days later, Liu Xie was sitting in the empty hall. After hearing the news that Xun Yu had left Xudu, he not only breathed a long sigh of relief, but he also thought that there were not many things he could do. pieces.

Cao Cao took away everything from him, and now he wants to steal the country from his hands. He has good intentions. How can I let him get what he wants?

Liu Xie was not willing to sit back and wait for death. Even if the country was lost in his own hands, he would still hate Cao Cao in the end, so that even if he became the emperor, he would not be able to get it openly!

Liu Xie's idea was to issue an edict to Liu Bei and Yuan Xi.

The edict from Liu Bei's side has been sent by someone, who is a member of the Han clan, and the last time he attacked Xudu regardless of the cost, he has proved his loyalty to Liu Xie. In this case, Liu Xie is not afraid to repay the other party.

But Yuan Xi's side is worth pondering. Naturally, the Yuan family will not be loyal to help the Han Dynasty, but the things Yuan Xi has done over the years have undoubtedly helped Liu Xie a lot. What's more, Liu Xie's current situation still needs Yuan Xi. Xi took some next actions to ease it.

But Liu Xie is a very naughty person, and he will not easily make promises outside the ancestral system. But this time he entrusted Xun Yu to go to Shouchun in order to fulfill his previous promise.

Liu Xie sat silently on the dragon chair, surrounded by silence. The familiar voice of Fu Shou no longer echoed in his ears. The deep feeling of loneliness invaded Liu Xie in waves, causing him to hold hands painfully. Clenched his fists.

Only after losing can one realize the value of the people around him, but there is no turning back. The turbulent waves of the world are ruthlessly enveloping Liu Xie and taking him to the unknown end.

In the spring of the seventh year of Jian'an, wars continued in various places and Yizhou was in danger. Lu Xun was at odds with Zhou Yu. Yuan Xi left Zhuge Liang in Wankou to help Lu Xun, while he took Mrs. Wu back to Shouchun.

As soon as he returned to the city, he received a piece of news from Yuzhang County, which made him speechless and amused. He said to Mrs. Wu: "Your son has killed you."

He said this because Sun Quan issued an edict to the world in the name of King Wu. Qu'a, where he was governed, was destroyed by rebels. The Wu family defended the city and the whole family was killed, including Sun Quan's biological mother, Mrs. Wu.

Sun Quan was extremely sad about this, so he proclaimed himself king in the name of King Wu, which was the kingdom of Wu. He changed Sun Jian's tomb into a mausoleum, named Gaoling, and honored his father Sun Jian as King Wulie, and at the same time he honored his mother, Mrs. Wu, as Queen Wulie.

Yuan Xi thought that Sun Quan was a thief. He had foreseen it and knew that he would use Mrs. Wu's identity to disgust Sun Quan, so he simply announced Mrs. Wu's death and directly eliminated this possibility. He was really a filial son.

Thinking of this, Yuan Xi smiled at the dull-looking Mrs. Wu and said, "Our son is really unfilial. When Wu is defeated, I will ask someone to spank him, and then I will kneel in front of you and plead guilty."

Mrs. Wu recovered from the shock. She rolled her eyes at Yuan Xi and said, "What about our son? He was born to you?"

Yuan Xi laughed, "A foster father is also a father. Sooner or later I will make him kneel down and call me daddy."

"But this is fine. When you are granted the title of Madam in a few days, you will no longer have the pressure of status."

Mrs. Wu sighed: "It's up to you. I don't think about anything about you men competing for the world. I just want to live a peaceful life with my two children."

Yuan Xi smiled and said: "When the matters here in Shouchun are settled, we will go north to Jicheng. Since Cao Cao and Sun Quan have become kings, I can't lag behind others."

Yuan Xi's idea was to wait and see the situation in Jianghuai and then return to Jicheng to proclaim himself king, but two pieces of news that came immediately caused him to be temporarily delayed for a while.

One is the news from Cao Cao that he sent Xun Yu as an envoy.

The other one came from Liu Bei.

After hearing the inside story, Yuan Xi couldn't help but be surprised, because this matter was related to Liu Xie.
