Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 398 The Heart of the Son of Heaven
According to Jushou's idea, after driving away Li Jue and Guo Si, he should immediately join forces with Lu Bu and drive the emperor back to Huaicheng, so as to avoid long nights and dreams.

He looked at Xun You in the distance, and guessed that the other side thought the same way, but the destination was Cao Cao's Xu County.

Jushou Xindao is afraid that there will still be some twists and turns. If there are no accidents, the Lv Bu Youzhou coalition forces are still weaker than the Cao army, but with Zhang He's reinforcements, and Duan Yan who reconciled with Lv Bu in private, and Dong Cheng, who is aware of Cao Cao's intentions, Cao Jun did not dare to act rashly.

It can be said that there was no intention of mental calculation, Cao Cao's game of chess in the city, which was bound to win, was cracked by this side, and he fell into an embarrassing situation.

Under the check and balance between the two sides, the key decision-making power falls on the emperor Liu Xie.

The battlefield is already in chaos, because of Duan Yan's betrayal, Li Jue and Guo Si, who could have retreated safely, now have nowhere to escape.

Li Jue's eyes were red, and while resisting Zhao Yun's iron spear, he shouted at Duan Yan who rushed over: "Duan Yan!"

"If I escape today, I will definitely kill your entire clan!"

Duan Yan's expression remained unchanged, and he said coldly, "Me too."

Seeing that Zhao Yun's marksmanship became more and more fierce, Li Jue panicked for the first time and shouted, "Duan Yan!"

"Liangzhou people don't beat Liangzhou people!"

"Why did you betray us!"

After hearing this, Duan Yan shouted: "You still have the face to say that you are from Liangzhou!"

"The reputation of Liangzhou people has been ruined by you!"

"Our ancestors defended the border against foreign enemies in Liangzhou, not to harm the people!"

Li Jue shouted, "Duan Yao!"

"You are confused!"

"Our ancestors guarded the border for more than ten generations, how did the court treat us?"

"Beware of us, there is still a shortage of food and wages, we have no dignity like dogs for the sake of stuttering!"

"We get back what we deserve, what's wrong!"

"Duan simmer!"

"It's still too late to turn around now, let's fight into the city together and let the emperor use it for us!"

Duan Yan sneered and said, "It's you who can't turn back!"

"Now in the whole world, no one wants you to live!"

"kill!"

Li Jue saw that Duan Yao had made up his mind, and knew that he could only fight to the death, so he roared, swung his halberd with all his strength, forced Zhao Yun away, turned around and fled.

Seeing Duan Yao standing in front, he steered his horse and rushed out. Zhao Yun chased him all the way, but Li Jue shouted at his subordinates: "Stop him for me!"

Li Jue's personal guards rushed to catch up, trying to stop Zhao Yun, but saw Zhao Yun's spears everywhere, and the Liangzhou army was picked off one after another, but Zhao Yun's speed was also slowed down a lot.

Li Jue took the opportunity to flee far away. Seeing that he was about to break out of the siege, he heard the sound of bowstrings behind him, and Zhao Yun shot his horse in the ass with an arrow.

The horse, Chitong, fell to the ground at once. Li Jue fell from the ground and barely got up. Zhao Yun had already rushed by with his horse, and the spear was everywhere. Bring out a cloud of blood.

Zhao Yun retracted the gun, and Li Jue's body turned around and fell straight to the ground, dying of breath.

The soldiers from Youzhou immediately shouted, "Li Jue is dead!"

"Li Jue is dead!"

The sound spread far away, the Liangzhou army was in chaos, trampling each other and fleeing, Guo Si heard it from afar, his heart was cold, and he turned around and fled immediately.

Xu Huang wanted to charge forward with his horse, but was blocked by Guo Bang's personal guards. He saw Guo Bang fleeing farther and farther.

Seeing him, Cao Cao knew that the general situation had been settled, and he smiled at Lu Bu, "Li Jue is dead, Guo Si is about to escape, is Marquis Wen interested in taking Guo Si's head?"

After hearing this, Lu Bu said calmly, "My horse is not feeling well today, so I will give the credit to the envoy general."

Cao Cao was at a loss for words, when did Lu Bu become smart?
I originally wanted to send Lu Bu away, and then return to the city immediately, maybe there will be some chances, but now Lu Bu is unmoved, so calm?

He guessed right, Ju Shou had only said one word to Lu Bu before the battle.

What Cao Cao does, what Wen Hou does, where Cao Cao goes, where Wen Hou goes, other than that, don't worry about everything.

Cao Cao looked at Guo Bang who was fleeing, and thought that he would be able to catch up with Cao Chun and Cao Hong at this time, but in this way, he only had infantry at hand, what if Lu Bu and Youzhou Army attacked him? ?
He hesitated for a moment, and decisively sent someone to call Cao Chun and Cao Hong back, planning to retreat to the city before making further plans.

Jushou saw from the top of the city that Xindao Cao Cao was really impeccable in his work. If he showed his flaws, Jushou would not mind taking some more drastic measures, but now it seems that it is unlikely.

He shook his head, Yuan Xi and himself guessed right, Cao Cao was indeed a great enemy.

If Jizhou waits to ignore it and let it expand its power, it will become a big disaster sooner or later!

Cao Chun and Cao Hong came back with resentment on their faces. They had known that Zhao Yun killed Li Jue and Li Xian, and became the main contributors to defeating the Liangzhou army. They wanted to chase and kill Guo Si, but they were called back by Cao Cao.

Cao Chun said indignantly: "Then Zhao Yun is lucky, this time he will be in the limelight!"

"I invite two hundred cavalry to hunt down Guo Si, and I will surely bring back his head!"

Cao Cao heard this, and said calmly: "The safety of the emperor in the city is the most important thing, go back first."

Only then did Cao Chun come to his senses, and hurriedly took orders.

When Zhao Yun saw that Cao Cao was withdrawing his troops, he did not go to clean up the battlefield. He immediately withdrew his troops and returned to the formation, ready to enter the city with Cao Cao.

Now it's Yang Fengxuhuang's turn to be confused, why didn't he hear the sound of Mingjin withdrawing troops, why did Cao Jun and Youzhou Army go back?

Yang Feng looked at the Liangzhou soldiers fleeing and scattered all over the ground, and said: "Gongming, what do we do now?"

Xu Huang saw that Cao Cao's Chinese army was faintly shrinking, not like after the victory, but seemed to be on guard, so he couldn't help frowning: "It's not right."

"Something must have happened."

While the two were hesitating, they saw a cavalry soldier from the Youzhou Army approaching on horseback, whispering: "Something happened in the city, Cao Jun attacked Baibo Army, General Hu Cai was killed, and General Han Siam fled."

"What!" Both of them were shocked and couldn't help but look at each other.

Xu Huang didn't know the tricks, but Yang Feng did. Today, the Baibo army deliberately let the Liangzhou army enter the city, just to take the opportunity to eradicate Yang Ding and Dong Cheng. It was Yang Feng's idea.

But he never expected that when the praying mantis was catching the cicada and the oriole was behind, Cao Cao took the opportunity to attack the Baibo army, and instead caused the Baibo army to suffer a big loss!

Yang Feng was sweating profusely, and hurriedly said to Xu Huang: "Hurry up and organize the army!"

"Cao Cao will deal with us next, it must be us!"

The two quickly gathered the remaining Baibo army and gathered them together, ready to deal with Cao Cao's attack at any time.

Cao Cao saw that the other party had become a frightened bird, and said to the left and right: "Go back to the city!"

Seeing that Cao Jun and Youzhou Army had entered the city, Yang Fengxu Huang stood outside the city in a daze.

To enter or not to enter?
If you go in, what if someone designs an ambush?
If you don't enter, the Baibo army will not have the slightest power by the side of the emperor!
Yang Feng hesitated for a long time, then said in a shy voice: "Gongming, do you think this was ordered by the emperor?"

After hearing this, Xu Huang sighed: "The general already knew today, why bother?"

Yang Feng knew that what Xu Huang was talking about was about Bai Bo's army gaining power, so he said bitterly, "Who knew that there were so many people here all of a sudden?"

"Isn't Cao Cao imitating what we did back then?"

"In the future, someone will deal with him like he did with us!"

"I want to go to the city to meet the emperor to plead guilty, but I'm afraid that if I don't see the emperor, Cao Cao will attack me!"

"How about we run?"

Xu Huang sighed, "General, where else can I go now?"

"Huang would like to meet the emperor on behalf of the general and convey the general's wishes. The emperor should think of the past friendship for the sake of the Baibo army's previous rescue."

Yang Feng hesitated again and again, and finally sighed: "That will be clear to Mr. Lao."

"I lead troops to support Gongming outside the city."

Seeing Yang Feng's trembling look, Xu Huang sighed secretly, and rode into the city alone.

In the emperor's mansion in the city, Dong Cheng knelt in front of Liu Xie, telling with snot and tears that Cao Jun had a sinister heart, first attacked the Baibo army brazenly, and then tried to attack and kill himself.

Listening to Dong Cheng's words, Liu Xie didn't know why, but felt a little happy.

At this time, you remembered to ask me for help?
When you sent people to attack and kill my queen, did you ever think about today?
But Liu Xie understands that now he still wants to keep Dong Cheng. After all, the other party still has a lot of power inside and outside the court, and he has not yet fully digested it.

In addition, Cao Cao's action this time was so straightforward, which also made Liu Xie a little unexpected.

He was willing to believe Cao Cao at the beginning, but although the opponent's attack this time, although there were some vague hints of his own, Liu Xie's intention at the time was just to beat the Baibo army, but he didn't expect Cao Cao to do it so simply. !
Yang Dinghu was killed, and Han Xian escaped. After all, he was appointed a general by himself. Did Cao Cao overdo it?
Is Cao Cao really as loyal to himself as he said?

He was meditating, but a servant came to report: "Your Majesty, a big victory!"

"The rebel Li Jue was killed, Guo Si fled, and the Liangzhou army was completely defeated!"

Liu Xie was overjoyed, within half a day, he solved the nightmare that had plagued him for several years!

He laughed and said, "It seems that Mr. Cao still has some skills."

"Which general under his command killed Li Jue?"

The attendant quickly replied: "Your Majesty, it is Zhao Yun, the captain of Youzhou!"

"Zhao Yun?" Liu Xie pondered, "I remember he killed Hu Feng the day before yesterday?"

The guard replied: "Your Majesty, that is indeed the case. He also killed Li Xian, Li Jue's nephew, and he is the only one who deserves today's credit."

Liu Xie felt a toothache when he heard this, and thought that Youzhou was lucky to find such a general.

Although he has always been indifferent to the Yuan family, but the generals he sent have made such great achievements, it is unreasonable not to reward him.

But the key point is that this Zhao Yun is a member of the Yuan family. How can he know if he will turn around and deal with him after being sealed?
Liu Xie hesitated for a long time. He doesn't have a direct line of troops. The most reliable is Lu Bu. However, Lu Bu has only a few cities in his territory now, so it is difficult to protect himself.

Therefore, Liu Xie had to find more people who were loyal to him, but he still couldn't understand who was trustworthy and who had evil intentions.

He has been deceived and held hostage enough, and suffered too many losses, but in the end, he still can't understand people's hearts.

So now he doesn't dare to trust anyone completely.
