The Strongest Lu Bu's Sweeping Thousands of Armies

Chapter 417 The Poison Sent to the Emperor

Everyone walked out of the front hall, and Jia Xu walked at the back.

Xu Chu leaned over and winked at him.

Seeing Xu Chu's wink, Jia Xu deliberately slowed down, and asked Xu Chu with a smile, "Why doesn't General Xu accompany the lord, but wait here?"

"After the court meeting is held, I want to watch the servants clean up here." Xu Chu deliberately replied loudly: "If Mr. Jia has nothing to do, why don't you come and have a few words with me?"

"Originally, there are some things that are easy to deal with." Knowing that Xu Chu had something to say to him, Jia Xu replied with a smile: "But the general wants me to talk with him, so it's okay to say a few more words."

Jia Xu and Xu Chu were standing there talking, Cao Cao had already left with a few guards.

Xun Yu who left the front hall first took a look back.

Seeing Jia Xu talking to Xu Chu, he couldn't help muttering.

Just when Xun Yu was puzzled, Guo Jia came to him and bowed his hands to him: "Mr. Xun, the great war is about to come, I have arranged a banquet at home, and I invite Mr. Xun to go and have a talk. Would you like me to give you some noodles? "

Xun Yu and Guo Jia knew each other in the early years, and Guo Jia was recommended to Cao Cao by him, so the relationship between the two is of course extraordinary.

How could Xun Yu refuse Guo Jia's invitation?

He said to Guo Jia: "Feng Xiao asked me to visit the mansion. If I refuse to go, wouldn't it be shameful for Feng Xiao? I just don't know if there is good wine in Feng Xiao's house?"

"Of course there is good wine." Guo Jia replied: "If you invite Mr. Xun to go home for a banquet, how can you get some ordinary drinks to serve?"

Guo Jia invited him, although Xun Yu still had some doubts about Jia Xu, but he had no choice but to leave with Guo Jia.

When Xun Yu walked away, Xu Chu whispered to Jia Xu, "Mr. Jia, my lord is waiting in the study."

"General, please lead the way." Jia Xu cupped his hands and said.

"Jia Gong, please!" Xu Chu stepped aside and asked Jia Xu to go first.

Led by Xu Chu, Jia Xu came to Cao Cao's study.

He walked into the study, and Cao Cao had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing Jia Xu walking in, Cao Cao said to him: "Wen He had something to say just now, and it is inconvenient for the court to speak too clearly, so I invited you here for a talk, and I also asked Wen He to make sure to discuss the strategy. Make it clear."

Bowing to Cao Cao, Jia Xu said: "Actually, I only have one thing to say to my lord. Your Majesty can only stay in the hands of the lord. If the lord can't use him, I would rather destroy him than leave him behind." into someone else's hands."

Frowning slightly, Cao Cao said hesitantly: "Does Wenhe really want me to do treason?"

"Dare to ask my lord, who is willing to listen to their orders in the current Han court?" Jia Xu asked Cao Cao: "If the emperor falls into the hands of others, will others treat him wholeheartedly like my lord? Once that time comes, The person who gets the emperor can issue an imperial edict to the whole world, so that everyone in the world can beg for the lord. After all, whoever holds the emperor will be tough in speaking. Today's emperor of the Han Dynasty is a bowl of delicious minced meat for anyone. There are not many people who treat him sincerely, but there are many who want to use him."

"I also understand what Wen He means, but if you really do that..." Cao Cao frowned, and asked Jia Xu, "Wouldn't people in the world say that I intend to murder the emperor?"

"The rebellious army is fighting, who knows who killed the emperor?" Jia Xu sneered: "As long as the emperor is dead and there is no proof of death, is it possible that someone can make the dead speak?"

Cao Cao nodded slowly, and then asked Jia Xu, "Who do Wen He think is safest to entrust this matter to?"

"Of course it is to the person whom the lord trusts the most." Jia Xu glanced at the door, hesitant to speak.

"Wenhe means to let Zhongkang do it?" Cao Cao asked.

Jia Xu didn't answer, but just lowered his head and responded with his expression.

"No." Cao Cao waved his hand: "Although Zhongkang is loyal to me, every time he goes with me to the palace and sees the emperor, he still has a look of unbearable expression on his face."

"Since General Xu can't do it, my lord has no choice but to choose someone else." Jia Xu asked in a low voice, "I don't know how about General Xiahou Dun?"

"No way." Cao Cao shook his head: "Xiahoudun likes to drink, if one day he drank and told about it, wouldn't it be a big deal?"

"It seems that there is only Xiahou Miaocai." Jia Xu said: "General Miaocai doesn't drink much, and his martial arts skills are not comparable to ordinary people. It is very safe for him to watch over the current Majesty."

"Miaocai is fine." Cao Cao nodded and asked Jia Xu, "Won't Wenhe take care of him together?"

"I absolutely can't do it!" Jia Xu replied: "My lord also saw just now that Xun Wenruo already has doubts about me. If I guard the palace with General Miaocai, he will definitely do something in secret. My lord wants to be safe. Not only do we have to defend against Lu Bu outside, but we also have to guard against our own family members inside."

"A big event is coming, how many people can help me?" Cao Cao sighed, and said to Jia Xu: "Wen He is right, if this is the case, let you talk to Miaocai, how about it?"

"Of course it's inconvenient for my lord to come forward." Jia Xu replied, "I'd like to help, but now General Miaocai is away and hasn't returned to Xudu..."

"It won't be long before he comes back." Cao Cao said, "He and Yu Jin guarded the city of Zhe, but Lu Bu didn't attack the city at all. Instead, he wiped out their soldiers and horses on the way to Xudu. Shi Miaocai must also be very troubled in his heart. Wen He has to use some strategies to talk to him."

"My lord, don't worry, if I take care of it, this matter will surely be accomplished." Jia Xu replied confidently.

Ordering Xu Chu to send Jia Xu away, Cao Cao felt unsafe no matter how he thought about it.

When Xu Chu came back, he greeted: "Zhongkang will accompany me to the palace to meet His Majesty."

"It's getting late, my lord is going to see His Majesty now?" Xu Chu asked in surprise.

"I'm going to see you right now." Cao Cao said, "If I wait until tomorrow morning, I'm afraid I'll be negligent when I get busy."

Cao Cao decided to go to see him, Xu Chu didn't need to say more, and immediately ordered the guards to get ready to drive to the palace.

When he came to the palace, Cao Cao went straight to Liu Xie's residence.

It was getting late, and Liu Xie, who was about to rest with Empress Fu, rushed out to meet Cao Cao when he heard that Cao Cao was coming.

Due to the haste to go out, Liu Xie didn't even dress neatly.

Waiting at the door of the bedroom, seeing Cao Cao coming with Xu Chu, Liu Xie bowed and said, "It's getting late, why is Mr. Cao here?"

Looking at Liu Xie, seeing that his clothes were disheveled, as if he was going to sleep, Cao Cao asked, "Your Majesty is going to sleep now?"

"That's right." Liu Xie replied, "But since Mr. Cao is here, I'm going to change clothes and talk to Mr. Cao."

"No need." Cao Cao waved his hand: "I can't sit still for a while, I should leave soon."

Cao Cao said that he would not stay for too long, and Liu Xie felt relieved.

Every time Cao Cao came, Liu Xie knew something was going to happen.

Cao Cao either asked him to order a crusade against this one, or asked him to order a reward for that one.

Since arriving in Xudu, Liu Xie has been a particularly useful chess piece for Cao Cao.

As for the Ninth Five-Year Lord, I am afraid that in the eyes of Cao Cao, he is no longer.

Accompanying Cao Cao into the bedroom, Liu Xie ordered the maid to bring tea.

He asked Cao Cao again: "May I ask Mr. Cao, if you come here at this time, is there anything you want me to do?"

"What can Your Majesty do?" Cao Cao said, "I came here just to ask Your Majesty, do you know that Lu Bu has led an army to Xudu?"

Cao Cao bluntly said that he couldn't do anything, Liu Xie was taken aback for a moment, then lowered his head and didn't say anything more.

Asked if he knew that Lu Bu was leading an army approaching Xu Du, Cao Cao looked at Liu Xie, as if trying to read something from his face.

Liu Xie lowered his head and replied: "Duke Cao also knows that I am only in the palace every day, and it is impossible to understand what is going on outside. Lv Bu dared to attack Duke Cao by going against the law. I will issue an order to order the whole world to crusade against you." he!"

"Your Majesty, let's save it." Cao Cao interrupted him: "Other people in the world, besides me, agree with Your Majesty, how many people really regard His Majesty as the Emperor of Han?"

Although Cao Cao used to put on a condescending stance, he had never spoken so clearly.

Liu Xiecai let go of his heart not long ago, and suddenly hung up again.

He knew very well that he was alive because he was still useful to Cao Cao.

If Cao Cao thought he was useless, he would not be too far from death.

"Mr. Cao means..." Liu Xie subconsciously asked Cao Cao.

"I don't have any other intentions. I just want to tell Your Majesty that once Lu Bu defeats Xudu, if Your Majesty falls into his hands, life will not be as easy as it is now." Cao Cao said, "Your Majesty should know that Lu Bu is a man. Back then, Yuan Shu usurped To become emperor, the only person in the world who is willing to make friends with Yuan Shu is Lu Bu. In his heart, he should be very clear about the importance of His Majesty."

"I know what Cao Gong said in my heart." Liu Xie hurriedly agreed, and then asked Cao Cao: "How can I help Cao Gong defeat Lu Bu?"

"If Your Majesty doesn't want to suffer, I have an idea." Cao Cao took out a small pottery bottle from his arms and said to Liu Xie, "There are some medicinal powders here. As long as Your Majesty takes it, you will die in a short time, and you will be less tortured." human torment."

Looking at the medicinal powder Cao Cao placed on the table, Liu Xie trembled all over.

He tremblingly stretched out his hand to take it, but when his hand was about to touch the bottle, he subconsciously retracted it.

From Liu Xie's actions, Cao Cao saw that he was afraid of death, so he smiled coldly and said, "I prepared these for Your Majesty, just in case, to prevent Your Majesty from being humiliated by Lu Bu. If Your Majesty dare not then, of course I will." Someone is sending His Majesty on his way."

Having said this, Cao Cao stood up and said to Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, you better hope that I can defeat Lu Bu. By then, not only will your throne be preserved, but your life will also be preserved."

Xu Chu, who accompanied Cao Cao here, looked at Liu Xie with pity, and followed Cao Cao out.

In the room, Liu Xie was the only one left, staring blankly at the small pottery vase on the table.

Liu Xie was still staring blankly at the pottery vase left behind by Cao Cao. Empress Fu opened the curtain and came out from the back hall.

"Your Majesty." She greeted Liu Xie softly, and asked him, "Cao Cao came here to force His Majesty to commit suicide?"

Turning his head and looking at Empress Fu with empty eyes, Liu Xie said with red eyes: "For Cao Cao, I am just a pawn in his hand. The reason why I can still live until now is nothing more than being useful to him If I am no longer useful, how can he spare my life?"

Empress Fu also had tears in her eyes. She knelt beside Liu Xie, looked up at him and said, "If your majesty is alive, the big man will still be there. If your majesty is gone, the big man will be gone too. Cao Cao's doing this is to die. Big guy..."

"What can I do?" Liu Xie closed his eyes and slowly raised his face, two lines of tears rolled down his cheeks: "Now I am just a puppet in the hands of others, and the big man has long existed in name only. The heart of recovery, helplessly, none of the heroes in the world is really thinking about the big man..."

"The concubine can send a letter to my father asking him to prepare." Empress Fu said, "If Lu Bu really enters Xudu, please ask my father to lead troops into the palace and rescue your majesty. The world is so big, is it really true?" Is there no place for His Majesty?"

"Fu Wan is still relying on others now." Liu Xie said: "Since he came to Xudu, he has repeatedly petitioned Cao Cao to reduce his official position, just to avoid causing trouble. Your father is really unreliable!"

"Although my father is timid, his loyalty to the great man is true." Empress Fu said: "As long as my concubine sends him a letter stating his interests, he will definitely follow his concubine's advice and lead troops to rescue His Majesty. Cao Cao said Father may be afraid of Xu Du if he is in control of him. Once Lu Bu defeats Xu Du, Cao Cao's prestige will no longer be there, who else will be afraid of him?"

Empress Fu's words moved Liu Xie's mind.

She was right.

Cao Cao controls Xudu, Fu Wan and others may not dare to do anything in order to survive.

Once Lv Bu defeated Xudu, Cao Cao could not protect himself, and people like Fu Wan could find opportunities.

At that time, they led soldiers and horses into the palace, and Liu Xie's life was saved.

As for what to do after saving his life, it is not something Liu Xie should consider now.

The world is so big, and heroes rule all over the country, there will always be one or two who are sincerely loyal to the Han Dynasty...

After thinking about this, Liu Xie nodded and said to Empress Fu: "Since you think it is feasible, then you can do it. It's just that the maids and regular servants in the palace are all sent by Cao Cao to monitor me. You have prepared a letter, who can give it to Fu Wan?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, this concubine will find a solution." Empress Fu said, "There are still two available people around this concubine. Although they have been with this concubine for a short time, they hate Cao Cao's behavior deeply. In the past They will also say some things that criticize Cao Cao in front of the courtiers, but the courtiers obstructed it, so it didn't spread. If they send letters to my father, Cao Cao will definitely not know."

"People's hearts are unpredictable, the queen should be more careful." Liu Xie replied dejectedly: "Since the incident with Concubine Dong, I have been worried every day, fearing that the people around me will be harmed by Cao Cao again."
