Three Kingdoms: Do you call this a weak counselor? !

Chapter 139: A man was born between heaven and earth, how can he live in a state of depression for a long time? !
In Luoyang, the palaces collapsed and ruins were everywhere.

The original prosperity is long gone.

There are stretches of grass and birds looking for food, and it is extremely desolate.

There are also many traces of people setting fire to Dong Zhuo when he moved the capital...

Liu Xie, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, felt very uncomfortable when he looked at the extremely desolate scene in front of him.

I couldn't help but feel sad and shed tears.

At this time, how could Liu Xie still have any dignity as an emperor?
The whole person looked extremely embarrassed.

The place where they live is said to be a palace, but in fact it is just a house built in a hurry after arriving in Luoyang.

The houses that many wealthy families live in are not even comparable, let alone the palace.

In fact, Liu Xie doesn't have many opinions about where he lives now.

After all, he experienced many hardships when escaping from Guanzhong this time.

Along the way, we encountered countless dangers.

I nearly lost my life several times.

He even spent the night in the wilderness.

The situation now is much better than it was then.

But looking at the once prosperous Luoyang, it has become like this.

I thought that I would have nowhere else to go in the future.

In his heart, he became extremely uncomfortable.

How prosperous and powerful was the Han Dynasty back then?
But now, when he comes to his side, the big man is in pieces and his majesty is gone!

As the emperor of the Han Dynasty, how could he have half the majesty that the emperor of the Han Dynasty should have?

He hasn't eaten meat for several days.

If he is like this as an emperor, let alone what the people around him will be like.

There are many people who are eating wild vegetables, and even can't get enough of them.

The majestic emperor has fallen to this level.

The more he thought about this matter, the more uncomfortable he felt.

This time, the emperor's edict has been issued to him.

He was sent to many princes and asked to come and pick him up.

He also doesn't know who will come in the end...

Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly received a report that Li Jue and Guo Si had joined forces.

Once again, he led the army towards Luoyang to take him back.

Upon hearing the news, Emperor Liu Xie's expression suddenly changed, and he was filled with fear!

He knew very well what kind of virtue Li Jue and Guo Si were.

In recent years, under the rule of these two people, his life has been worse than death and he has suffered humiliation.

Now he and others have done these things again.

If the two thieves Li Jue and Guo Si catch up with him again and take him back, he will never be left behind!

Dong Cheng, Yang Biao and others suggested that they should leave Luoyang as quickly as possible at this time.

Go east to the other princes.

Try to put as much distance between you and Li Jue and Guo Si as possible.

Only in this way can there be some vitality.

The emperor Liu Xie had no ideas of his own at this time.

So he listened to the two people's opinions and led the people quickly towards the east.

At the same time, Zhang Xiu's troops and horses were left behind to stop the enemy.

They had been moving for half a day when they suddenly saw flying dust ahead, loud gongs and drums, and many people and horses blocking the way ahead! !

The emperor Liu Xie and the queen were so frightened by this scene that they hid in the carriage, trembling all over and unable to speak.

I thought they could escape from the tiger's den this time.

Who would have thought that in just a short time, I would meet a thief again!
They will definitely die without a burial place this time!
It will also fall into the hands of Li Jue, Guo Si and others.

Just when the two of them were scared, someone came flying towards them.

He came forward to pay homage to Liu Xie, saying that Shandong General Cao had mobilized all his troops and was here in response to the call.

This time Xia Houyuan has been sent as the vanguard, leading dozens of generals and [-] elite soldiers to protect him.

After getting the news, Liu Xie regained some composure.

I just feel that I have walked through the gate of hell, and I have a feeling of exhaustion.

Not long after, Xia Houyuan led his people to meet Liu Xie.

Emperor Liu Xie couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw that it was really the person who came to protect him.

Talk to Xia Houyuan and others to comfort them.

As a result, at this moment, someone came to report that there were more troops coming! !

At this time, Liu Xie didn't panic much because Xia Houyuan and others were there.

At that moment, Xia Houyuan and others were asked to go and see what was going on.

Immediately, someone came to report that it was Cao Cao himself who came with his troops!

Cao Cao came forward to greet the emperor Liu Xie, saying that he was late in rescuing him, and asked the emperor to punish him.

How could the emperor Liu Xie punish Cao Cao?
Liu Xie asked Cao Cao to stand up, took Cao Cao's hand, and said with a smile on his face: "General Cao, you came at the right time.

If General Cao hadn't come to rescue me this time, I'd probably have fallen into the hands of thieves again..."

As a result, while they were talking, the person behind them who was responsible for inquiring about the news came to report on Pegasus.

It is said that Li Jue and Guo Si led the soldiers and horses to kill them, less than twenty miles away from here!
Emperor Liu Xie was shocked when he heard this.

He said hurriedly: "Didn't you ask General Zhang to lead the troops in the rear to stop it?
Why did the thieves come so quickly? !
Could it be that... the traitors Li Jue and Guo Si had already defeated General Zhang. "

The General Zhang he spoke of was Zhang Xiu.

As for Zhang Ji, he was already dead at this time.

Two months ago, Zhang Ji fell ill and died.

Zhang Ji failed to give birth to a son until his death.

So under this situation, it was natural for Zhang Xiu, who had been trained by him as his successor, to take over the many forces left by Zhang Ji.

This time the emperor was able to get out of the pass smoothly and come here.

Zhang Xiu led his soldiers and horses and also contributed a lot of effort.

The visitor heard this and said, "The thieves' soldiers and horses are too sharp.

General Zhang's men and horses were outnumbered and had retreated south. "

Upon hearing this news, Emperor Liu Xie couldn't help but change his expression.

I don't know what to do.

After hearing this, Cao Cao stood up and said: "Your Majesty, please don't worry.

They are just some mere thieves, not worth mentioning!
What Li Jue and Guo Si?
In my opinion, they are all unworthy thieves!

In the past, it was okay to be arrogant and domineering in Guanzhong. Now that you are outside Guanzhong, you still dare to be so arrogant and domineering?
I really don't know how to live or die!

Your Majesty, just stay calm and let me send my generals to deal with all these thieves! "

After saying that, he sent Xia Houyuan and others to fight.

Emperor Liu Xie was still a little worried.

After all, he has been in the shadow of Li Jue and Guo Si in recent years.

Fear has already arisen for these two people.

Worried that Cao Cao's side could not win, Cao Cao smiled and said, "Your Majesty, please don't worry.

He's just a thief who can't get on the stage. It's easy for us to deal with him. "

Saying this, he ordered people to escort the emperor on his march.

Xia Houyuan and others went to fight with Li Jue and Guo Si.

A great battle begins.

However, it took more than half a day for Xiahou Yuanlejin and others to kill Li Jue and Guo Si and return home with their helmets and armor abandoned.

They beheaded and took prisoners, more than ten thousand people!

Li Jue and Guo Si fled, not daring to pursue Cao Cao or the emperor again.

Xia Houyuan and others carried the spoils of war and returned in a show of force, winning a great victory.

After the emperor Liu Xie saw this scene, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

I was also shocked at the same time!
You know, Li Jue and Guo Si have been weighing on him like two heavy mountains.

It made him feel that it was difficult to express his anger.

As a result, in the past, in his eyes, Li and Guo were very capable of fighting and could not be provoked by ordinary people.

Now after meeting Cao Cao's people, he has become so vulnerable!
This surprised and delighted him, and at the same time he was impressed by the strong fighting power of Cao Cao.

At that moment, he held Cao Cao's hand and said, "I never imagined that General Cao's troops and horses could be so majestic and majestic!!

Fierce bandits like Li Jue and Guo Si were nothing more than local chickens and tile dogs on General Cao's side, completely vulnerable to a single attack.

With people like General Cao here, I don't have to worry. "

Cao Cao felt very happy when he heard the emperor Liu Xie praising him so much.

This is not just because he was praised by the emperor.

More importantly, he showed his face properly in front of all the ministers who followed the emperor.

As soon as they met, they were able to see what they were capable of and how strong they were.

At the same time, there is also a feeling of elation and elation.

After all, as early as before, their Cao family's status was very high.

But in the eyes of many ministers in the court, the Cao family is a family of eunuchs who cannot be put on the stage.

But now, many high-born ministers in the court need to see Cao Mengde's face and need him to save them.

This feeling is still very good.

Of course, this also gave a certain deterrent to Yang Feng, who also escorted the emperor, and some others.

Let them understand the gap between them and themselves.

This time, Cao Cao felt proud.

While feeling happy, Cao Cao couldn't help but think of his good son-in-law, Zhang Chengzhang Gaojiu.

If it weren't for Gao, he would have done various things on his side.

Let yourself have enough food and food, and don't have to worry about money and food.

How could he possibly open his arms to recruit troops and strengthen his troops?

You must know that not all the horses he brought back from Hedong County this time were used on the cultivated land.

Many people who were suitable to be war horses were taken away and turned into war horses.

At the same time, along with the use of coal, Zhang Cheng also came up with a method to increase the speed of smelting steel.

As a result, their weapons and equipment have also been greatly improved.

After waiting for this series of events to come to an end, his fighting power will not be strong enough.

Cao Cao looked at the Emperor Liu Xie and said, "These are nothing.

The really powerful people on my side haven’t come yet.

My son-in-law, Zhang Cheng, Hou Ting of the Han Dynasty, has achieved great success. That is true bravery and invincibility, with both wisdom and courage.

Although he is a weak counselor, he has extraordinary martial arts.

One person and one gun, riding alone among the army, they are invincible.

Among the thousands of troops, taking the general's head is like picking out an object from a bag. "

Hearing Cao Cao's words, Liu Xie couldn't help but feel inspired.

Speaking of which, the performance of Xia Houyuan and others in front of him was already amazing enough in his opinion.

But who would have thought that Cao Cao would say that this was not enough, Zhang Cheng was even more brave and invincible!
This made him couldn't help but sigh, Cao Cao's troops and horses were really powerful.

At the same time, he also secretly remembered the name Zhang Cheng firmly in his heart.

Yang Biao and others on the side were also like this.

At this time, someone came to report.

It is said that Zhang Xiu did not use his full strength in the previous battle with Li Jue and Guo Si.

After just a little beating, he took the person away directly.

Rather than saying that he was defeated, it was better to say that he was defeated deliberately by Li Jue, Guo Si and others.

He also said that Zhang Xiu, together with Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe, led their troops and horses and headed south quickly.After learning the news, Emperor Liu Xie was shocked.

At the same time, I am also full of confusion, not knowing why this embroidery is done in this way.

After all, Zhang Xiu's performance before this was remarkable.

And Jia Xu, it took a lot of effort to leave Guanzhong and come here this time.

And long before that, he had been secretly taking care of him.

If it weren't for Jia Xu's presence, his life would be even more difficult.

But why has it come to this time? Everything has settled and it’s time to live a good life.

Zhang Xiu, Jia Xu and others took their troops and left without saying goodbye.

When Cao Cao heard the news, he was moved in his heart.

He naturally understood why Zhang Xiu and others did this.

This is to treat Cao Mengde as a tiger.

I don't want to come to Cao Mengde to do things.

I immediately wanted to send someone to intercept Zhang Xiu and others.

However, such thoughts only flashed in his mind for a moment before he was thrown out of his mind.

In the end, it was decided that it was better not to do this.

After all, his biggest goal this time was to get the Emperor into his hands.

As for this piece of embroidery, it also made a great contribution when the emperor was out.

At this time, he led his troops to capture Zhang Xiu and others, and a big battle broke out with them.

So it's definitely not good for his reputation.

There will also be many people who will stop it, which is not what he wants to see.

But in his heart, he wrote down Zhang Xiu and others to Anzi.

It was said that Zhang Chengcheng had told him that he had met Zhang Xiu, Zhang Ji and others.

Zhang Xiu was also captured, and Zhang Ji also made a promise.

After that, he is willing to work under him.

But now, Zhang Xiu and others broke their original promise and left with their troops.

What exactly happened here is worthy of further investigation.

But thinking so, Cao Cao didn't pay much attention to it at this time.

Let's talk about the future.

At this time, it was most important that he welcome the emperor back first...

Jia Xu was doing something beside Zhang Xiu at this time.

After a quick walk, those who stayed behind caught up and said yes.

On the emperor's side, no one was chasing him, so he was slightly relieved.

Looking at Zhang Xiu and Zhang Xiu's army in front of him, Jia Xu couldn't help but sigh secretly.

By the way, he originally thought that the one who could come to greet the emperor this time must be Cao Mengde.

After all, he had already met Zhang Cheng before.

I saw the character of Cao Cao's side.

At the same time, I also look forward to working with Cao Mengde in the future and have no resistance.

In fact, not only Jia Xu, but also Zhang Ji initially intended to go to Cao Cao's side to find a place to settle down.

But Zhang Xiu didn't do this.

When Zhang Ji was alive, he once told Zhang Xiu.

After they successfully got the emperor out of Guanzhong, they came to Cao Cao's side.

They also went to Cao Cao to do things.

I think it is due to their contribution in helping the emperor escape from the sea of ​​suffering and helping Cao Cao fulfill his wish.

Then in Cao Cao's future, he will definitely be reused by Cao Cao.

At least Cao Cao wouldn't treat them too badly.

And before that, he had already promised Zhang Cheng.

Zhang Xiu also said at that time that he would do so in the future.

But in the end, they didn't wait until they did so.

Zhang Ji took the first step, fell ill and died.

Next, Zhang Xiu also followed some of the previous plans.

A lot of efforts were made in the return of the emperor to the east.

But at the last moment, Zhang Xiu was unwilling to come to Cao Cao's side to do things as originally agreed.

The most important reason for this was that Zhang Cheng left such a profound impression on Zhang Xiu at that time.

This made Zhang Xiu feel afraid of Zhang Cheng.

Whenever he thought of Zhang Cheng, he felt uncomfortable in his heart.

I felt like I was being crushed.

Thinking of himself coming to work with Cao Cao and being with Zhang Cheng.

You will feel that it is not smooth for you to vent your anger.

So Zhang Xiu finally changed his mind.

He told Jia Xu that he didn't want to go to Cao Cao.

Of course, he did not tell Jia Xu his truest feelings.

Because he felt it was a bit embarrassing.

After all, he, Zhang Xiu, is also a face-conscious person.

The reason he told Jia Xu was that he, Zhang Xiu, was born between heaven and earth and did not want to live under human beings for a long time.

He is still young, and now this big man is surrounded by princes, big and small.

So if that's the case, why does Zhang Xiu have to work under Cao Mengde?

Why can't you make your own way?

He now also has soldiers and horses in his hands.

The elite Xiliang soldiers left behind by his uncle were not inferior to many of the princes today.

Although he is not as good as those big princes, many small princes are still far behind compared to him.

So he wanted to make a career.

And in the end, he told Jia Xu.

To defect to Cao Cao like this is a bit despising.

If in the future, they can do greater things and have greater power.

At that time, if you really go to Cao Cao again.

Then they can also be reused more.

Will be looked at by Cao Cao and others, etc.

Although this embroidery hides his true thoughts very well.

And found a series of reasons to cover up.

But what kind of person is Jia Xu?

How could we not see Zhang Xiu's true thoughts?

However, he did not expose Zhang Xiu's true thoughts.

Instead, they were insinuating themselves and tried to persuade them to fight.

He knew that for young people like Zhang Xiu.

If I were to tell him his true thoughts.

It is very likely that it will make him feel very embarrassed.

Because of this, he may have a lot of hostility towards himself.

So he didn't mention it at all and just tried to persuade him from other places.

But Zhang Xiu was determined and was unwilling to go to Cao Cao's side at this time.

So even if he tried to persuade her, it still wouldn't work.

At this time, Jia Xu could leave Zhang Xiu and come to Cao Cao to do things as an individual.

But no matter what, Jia Xu has a very good characteristic.

That is, whoever he does things with, if the other party doesn't treat him too badly, he won't leave.

Even if he knows that the other party has done something that is not very good and conflicts with his interests, he will still follow the other party.

Of course, he was doing this on the premise that doing so would not threaten his life.

If his life would be threatened if he did so, let alone Zhang Xiu, even Zhang Ji or others, he would definitely not hesitate.

To do things according to what he wants in his heart.

Jia Xu is such a pure person, so principled.

Since Zhang Ji's death, Zhang Xiu has always regarded Jia Xu as his military advisor.

For Jia Xu Ruoyan, he obeyed his advice and treated Jia Xu very well.

Therefore, under this situation, Jia Xu didn't really want to leave Zhang Xiu.

So a situation like this appeared.

As for the soldiers and horses Jia Xu had ordered Zhang Xiu to retreat from before, they only had a slight contact with the soldiers and horses of Li Jue, Guo Si and others. It was not true that he wanted to let Li Jue, Guo Si and others go. Let them go to deal with the emperor.

It was because before doing so, he had already learned about the arrival of Cao Cao's army through the scouts he sent out.

He was very sure that with the ability of Cao Cao's army.

People like Li Jue and Guo Si were no match at all, so they were relieved to let Zhang Xiu go.

And they took advantage of this opportunity and headed south.

"Thank you sir for coming with me, doing such things, and accompanying me on my mischief.

Zhang Xiu will definitely not let him down in this life! "

Zhang Xiu looked at Jia Xu and said this solemnly.

Jia Xu smiled and said, "Young general, you don't have to be like this.

The Major General treats me with sincerity, and I will naturally treat the Major General with sincerity.

And just as the Major General said, the Major General is still young and it is the time to work hard and make progress.

In these troubled times, if you don't fight, you will be willing to do so.

I have no use for it, but I like to see young people in high spirits.

Since the Major General doesn't think I'm useless.

Then I will naturally follow the Major General down here. "

Hearing Jia Xu's words, Zhang Xiu was deeply moved.

But at the same time, there is still some hesitation about where to settle down and settle down next.

Then he asked Jia Xu.

Jia Xu said: "Let's go to Liu Biao first!

There is a conflict between Liu Biao and Yuan Shao, and the situation is not stable now.

And the major general led so many elite troops there.

Liu Biao must be a very cheerful person.

If the young general goes there, he will definitely be put to good use by Liu Biao.

The young general went to rely on Liu Biao and look for a place to settle down, and then plan for it slowly. "

After hearing what Jia Xu said, Zhang Xiu nodded and said no more.

He began to lead his troops and horses and quickly headed towards Jingzhou.

With Jia Xu by his side, he feels much more confident in what he says and does.

At almost the same moment, Zhang Cheng suddenly remembered something.

He asked people to get pens, ink, paper and inkstones and write a letter directly in the fields.

Seal it with fire paint, and then send people to deliver it to Cao Cao quickly.

He specially asked someone to put this letter in a bag.

It can also be called a clever trick.
