Three Kingdoms: The opening incorporates Li Cunxiao

Chapter 149 Turnaround
  Youzhou, Beiping Prefecture.

"Lord, Zilong is back."

Gongsun Zan was originally entertaining Liu Yu's envoys. When he heard the servant's message, he directly put down the wine cup in his hand: "Please, please quickly."

Zhao Yun was dressed in white clothes and white robes. The greenness on his face was gone. He came to Gongsun Zan in a few steps and knelt down on one knee: "General Zhao Yun, pay your respects to the lord."

Gongsun Zan helped Zhao Yun up and patted him on the shoulder: "Zilong has turned around, why doesn't he see the champion Hou Tonggui return?"

"My lord, the champion has entered Bingzhou from Yanmen Pass and gone to Xuchang."

Gongsun Zan was immediately displeased. It stands to reason that after flattening Wuhuan Mountain and turning around, it would be closer to heading directly to Youzhou to return to Xu.

"Is he still worried that I, Gongsun Zan, will be harmful to the heroes? If there is a shortcut, he will take the long way around!"

Zhao Yun clasped his fists again, took a deep breath and said: "My lord, it is not that the champion Hou Yaoyuan returned to Mobei to the Central Plains, but Yanmen Pass is the closest, and the final general also turned back after passing Yanmen."

"It's useless to say more, that Zhang Wu has a villain's heart." The more Gongsun Zan said, the more uncomfortable he became. He suddenly stopped, stared at Zhao Yun with a pair of bull's eyes, swallowed two mouthfuls of spit, and shuddered.
  Then he asked: "Zilong just said, where to turn?"

"Lord, Mobei Grassland."

"You, you hit."

Zhao Yun's stern face finally showed a smile: "Half a month ago, the champion prince built a spectacle of 200,000 heads in the middle of Langjuxu Mountain. The palace of the Huns was burned to the ground, and less than five people escaped.
  Ten thousand, from then on, there were no more troubles caused by the Xiongnu to the north of the Han Dynasty. When Yanmen parted, the champion marquis specially condemned two hundred flying bear cavalry to drive the Xiongnu's 10,000 good horses, and a total of 20,000 cattle and sheep, and turned around with the clouds, giving them as gifts.
  Lord, repay Bingzhou for his help. "

Gongsun Zan coughed violently and quickly ordered his servants to send the envoy Liu Yu away.

He sat blankly on the threshold in front of the main hall, looking at the heavy snow in front of him, sometimes laughing, sometimes admiring, and in the end, his eyes turned red.

Huns, the cholera-ridden jackals that have been with us for four hundred years are finally gone!
  December twenty-seven.

Ten miles west of Xuchang.

With Cao Cao as the leader, the civil and military troops lined up. Followed by the ministers serving in the court.

Further back is the Tianzi frame.

Liu Bei was accompanying the carriage, and Zhang Fei, who had recovered from his injury, was guarding the left and right sides.

Everyone's face was filled with smiles, except for Liu Xie's face, which looked frosty.

"The champion has accomplished the feats of his ancestors and sealed the wolf as his lord. Your majesty is as successful as the Han Dynasty. Why are you frowning?"

Liu Xie looked around to make sure that the soldiers in Cao's camp were far apart and no one was paying attention. Then he pulled Liu Bei in a low voice and said, "Why did Marquis Ting of Yicheng ask this question? That Zhang Wu is a traitor.
  If he kills my ministers and kills my brothers and sisters, what does his meritorious deeds have to do with me? "

Liu Bei's expression remained unchanged, and he withdrew his hand calmly, but in his heart he gave this emperor a narrow label.

Zhang Wu was the champion prince and hussar general whom he personally sealed.

Zhang Wu's achievements at this moment can only show that the emperor knows people and can use them.

It can be sealed but not used. Why did it need to be sealed in the first place?

And Zhang Wu was clearly in Chang'an when he was enfeoffed. Instead of trying his best to win over the important ministers he enfeoffed, Cao Cao got an advantage. Who can blame him?

To become a great person, both mind and means are indispensable.

Since you dare to put people in such a high position, but you have no matching means to win them over, and when things get really bad, you blame them for treason, what have you done?
  That's all.

Xuchang suffered bloodshed for two months, and all the loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty were killed at the neck. Cao Cao said that those loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty were guilty of whatever crime, and you, Liu Xie, nodded and acknowledged it.

Even the loyal Ji Ping and the prince were guilty of treason by obeying the barbarians and destroying the three tribes, and Liu Xie personally admitted it under the pressure of Cao Cao's power.

I have no integrity as an emperor, and I am cold and ungrateful. How can I blame others for not giving up and surrendering?

As long as Liu Xie has even a little bit of the spirit of an emperor, how many loyal and righteous people will there be in the world?

Cao Cao could be destroyed without mentioning the army, but due to external threats, would Cao Cao really dare to be so domineering in Xuchang? If you want to talk about cholera in the world, it was Dong first and then Cao, and Liu Xie was definitely his accomplice.

The bloodline of the Han Dynasty has lasted for four hundred years, and there are so many surnames Liu. Liu Biao of Jingzhou, Liu Yan of Yizhou, and Liu Yu of Youzhou.

Not to mention that Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao really dared to kill the king and establish themselves on their own. Liu Xiefan was more stubborn. Even if he died, he would take the two thieves to be buried with him.

Even if Liu Xie loses his life, the Han family will still have the surname Liu.

Liu Bei finally understood.

This emperor.

What he loves is not the world of the Han family at all. What he loves is just the position that symbolizes the supremacy.

Unsupportable.

After coming to this conclusion, Liu Bei made up his mind to find an excuse and left Xuchang to stand on his own.

Thinking like this, he found an excuse and took two steps away from the emperor's carriage.

Zhang Fei was a little confused: "Brother, why is he so weird now?"

"Nothing, I just miss your second brother a little bit."

"What's so difficult about this? After the new year, I will protect you and search for you. I am not happy staying in Xuchang. I might as well be in a small county in Pingyuan!"

While the two were talking, horseshoes rumbled in the distance.

Rumble, rumble! ~
  Everyone looked up and looked into the distance.

On the distant horizon. The first thing that catches the eye is the sight of tens of thousands of horses galloping wantonly.

The two people at the front were both riding red horses. One was holding a spear, and the other was holding a halberd. They were at the front of the cavalry. None of the Xiongnu horses dared to run past the two of them. Behind them were herds of cattle and horses as far as the eye could see.

Finally, you can vaguely see more than a thousand flying bears driving livestock forward.

The ministers are at the forefront.

"Hahahaha, my son-in-law is finally back. If Wen Ruo takes a break, I will go and greet him." Cao Cao laughed and climbed on his horse.

Xun Yu's words of dissuasion had not yet been uttered.

He then galloped for a mile and came to the front of the turning army.

Seeing this, Lu Bu quickly led his men to stop the horses. The soldiers from Xuchang followed Cao Cao and helped drive the livestock to the western suburbs of Xuchang.

At this point, Boss Cao made a fortune again inexplicably.

Lu Bu then stopped his horse, dismounted and knelt down on one knee.

Over there, Zhang Wugang was about to dismount, but Cao Cao reached out to stop him.

After Cao Cao got off his horse and helped Lu Bu up, he walked straight in front of Chi Ji and reached out to grab Chi Ji's horse!

Chi Ji has a good understanding of human nature and has been familiar with Cao Cao from a long time ago. When they meet again now, he rubs his head against Cao Cao affectionately, making Cao Cao laugh loudly.

"Master-in-law, what do you mean?" Zhang Wuze had a black line on his face and quickly turned over and dismounted.

"Why, what's wrong with being a hero of the Han Dynasty and leading a horse for ten miles? Hurry up and get on the horse!"

"Okay, don't do this. If you were the emperor and I was the hero, and I accomplished this extraordinary feat, all you could do was lead the horse for me. But you are my father-in-law, and I ask you to lead the horse for me. Then what will happen to me? I won’t be successful.”

"Hahahaha, you kid! When did you become so pretentious? I order you to get off the horse!"
