The Three Kingdoms: The Cold Gate World

Chapter 431 The King of the Subjugated Country
If it was Guo Jia here instead of Guo Ye, then he would have exclaimed that the boy in front of him was named Deng Ai!
In another time and space, Deng Ai who raided Chengdu with only thousands of soldiers and horses to destroy the Kingdom of Shu decades later!

Guo Ye looked down at Deng Ai, saw that he was not timid, and there was no dodge in his eyes, and he didn't seem suspicious, so he turned his head and asked Zhang Yi: "What did he do?"

It is not uncommon for ordinary people's children to play or get lost in this wilderness. If there is no tenable reason, Zhang Yiduan will not bring him to Guo Ye.

After all, what did Deng Ai do to make Zhang Yi think he was suspicious, and even threatened the Taiping Army!

Zhang Yi pointed sideways at the forest not far away, and said: "When the general found him, he was spying on our army on the mountain, and he drew the nearby terrain and the location of our army's camp on the ground."

"Nonsense! How can I be peeping? I was already on the mountain before you arrived."

Deng Ai immediately refuted Zhang Yi.

Seeing this, Guo Ye was slightly surprised.

For a young man who doesn't look more than fourteen or fifteen years old to do such a thing on the mountain, it's impossible not to make people suspicious.

Zhang Yi didn't entangle with Deng Ai's words, he told what he saw and heard, and left Guo Ye to judge the rest.

"Deng Ai? Can you tell me why you appeared on the mountain and drew the layout of our army's camp on the ground?"

Guo Ye calmly looked at the boy who was much shorter than him, with an unknown expectation hidden behind his eyes.

Deng Ai glared at the expressionless Zhang Yi, and then calmly explained to Guo Ye with a loose expression: "The autumn harvest has just passed, and the chores at home have been relieved. I will take a look at the nearby topography, and drawing the topography on the ground is my idea of ​​how the offensive and defensive armies should line up if this is the battlefield."

As soon as the words fell, everyone around including Zhang Yi showed sneers, apparently scoffing at Deng Ai's words.

Huangkou Lizi, what do you know about arranging troops?
But as soon as Guo Ye raised his hand, everyone immediately stopped their taunting.

Walking in front of Deng Ai, Guo Ye asked with his hands behind his back: "Deng Ai, answer two questions for me. First, are you really not a scout sent by Cao Jun?"

Deng Ai straightened his neck and said, "My family lives in a village less than twenty miles away. If you don't believe me, you can send someone to ask."

Guo Ye smiled slightly, and then asked: "I believe, the second question, are you willing to join the Taiping Army?"

Deng Ai was stunned, and everyone around him was also stunned. Deng Ai looked Guo Ye up and down, and naturally knew that the young man in front of him was a high-ranking general. From the respectful expressions of the people around him, he could tell the clue. Ai's face was filled with joy, but then sank again, stretched out his hand and spread his wings, curled his lips and said: "I want to join the army, but I don't want to listen to him."

Hahahaha
Guo Ye laughed loudly, put his hand on Deng Ai's shoulder, and said, "From now on, you are my personal soldier, and no one can command you except me."

Turning around, Guo Ye said to Wei Yan who was next to him: "Master Wen, take some people to his house to take care of everything. From now on, he will be by my side."

Wei Yan cupped his fists to accept the order, stretched out his hand and slapped the dazed Deng Ai's forehead lightly, and said casually, "Why are you still stunned? Lead the way."

Several horses were brought in, and Deng Ai climbed up with great difficulty. He was on the verge of falling, obviously not very good at riding a horse, so Wei Yan had no choice but to slow down to accommodate him. envy.

He, Wei Yan, climbed to the top of the high branch with all his might and with the infamy on his back. This kid is lucky, he can just climb a mountain and draw a map, and he will reach the sky in one fell swoop.

Seeing that he was about to arrive in Xuchang, but met such an exciting young man on the road, Guo Ye was in a good mood, turned around and looked, and walked inward after the camp was built.

"If the boy is carefully cultivated, there will be no limit."

Lu Xun stood outside the camp with a smile on his face. Guo Ye nodded in agreement when he heard the words, "Yes, so I think I will be too excited to sleep tonight."

At dawn the next day, Guo Ye led his army towards Xuchang.

Xuchang, the former capital of the empire, is now a large family fleeing. This can be regarded as the capital of the Central Plains, leaving behind the largest family in the world: Liu.

Xia Houshang and Xu Huang Cao Zhen led the army to withdraw from Hebei, and Cao Pi deliberately asked them to leave Liu Xie in Xuchang, to be precise, to Guo Jia.

At this moment, Guo Jia does not claim to be king or emperor, and he still has the title of a Hanchen on his head. Then Cao Pi wants to see how Guo Jia treats Liu Xie. Anyway, Cao Wei has established a country and capital, and Liu Xie has completely lost After losing all value, when the Central Plains fell and Guo Jia was so arrogant, would Guo Jia slap himself in the face of Liu Xie?

The majestic imperial palace was seldom visited, and the soldiers of the Taiping Army entered it neatly and orderly. Guo Jia, wearing a snow-white cloak, stepped up the steps towards the main hall of the imperial palace. .”

Guo Jia turned his head to look at him, said nothing, and continued on his way to the front of the main hall of the palace, swung back and forth, and pushed open the door of the main hall alone.

There was a cold and dead air in the hall, neat and orderly like jade pillars, under the throne in front of the hall, Liu Xie was holding a jar of strong wine and poured it into his mouth like drinking white water.

Frustrated and ashamed, Liu Xie, the former emperor, is now just a powerless king.

Guo Jia walked slowly to Liu Xie and stopped five steps away. This scene seemed familiar. In Luoyang 16 years ago, Guo Jia and Liu Xie were talking alone in the palace. At that time, Liu Xie was still a little The child is angry, and now, he is muddled like a pool of mud.

Liu Xie, who was holding the wine jar, had red eyes from drunkenness, raised his head and forgot to look at Guo Jia, and continued to drink while ignoring him.

"His Majesty."

"Don't call me Your Majesty! I am no longer the Son of Heaven!"

Guo Jia only opened his mouth softly, but was countered by Liu Xie with a roar.

pop
Liu Xie tried his best to smash the wine jar in his hand towards Guo Jia, but within five steps, the wine jar passed by Guo Jia, fell to the ground, and shattered.

Panting heavily, Liu Xie stood up unsteadily, and then walked a few steps forward. When he was less than one meter away from Guo Jia, he raised his face and looked at Guo Jia, and suddenly laughed nervously.

"Feng Xiao, those who betray me in the world are not as good as you who make my heart hurt!"

There is a reopening day, and no one is young.

Perhaps the more naive you are, the more heartbroken you will be.

In essence, Guo Jia deceived Liu Xie once, and Cao Cao also deceived Liu Xie.

But the Liu Xie that Guo Jia faced at that time was just a young man. At that time, Liu Xie pinned everything on Guo Jia, but in the end he only got ruthless betrayal.

From his current point of view, since Guo Jia can have a foundation that is only one step away from aspiring to the world today, if Guo Jia assisted him in reorganizing the country back then, the Liu family's country would not perish.

Although Cao Cao also lied to Liu Xie, Liu Xie had already gone through ups and downs at that time, and was forced to be held hostage by Cao Cao because of the situation, three points of wishful thinking, seven points of helplessness, and in the end the Cao family really usurped the Liu family. Perhaps Liu Xie had already had After all, he, the puppet emperor, has been in office for more than 20 years. What kind of ambitious man has he not seen?
Compared with Cao Cao, the person Liu Xie hates more is Guo Jia.

It was Guo Jia who shattered his dream of revitalizing the Han Dynasty when he was young.

Or maybe the Cao family embarked on the road of usurping the Han step by step, while Guo Jia had no intention of supporting the Han from the beginning, which made Liu Xie hate it even more.

"Your Majesty hates me, I understand. But what does Your Majesty want me to do?"

Guo Jia looked at Liu Xie indifferently.

Liu Xie rushed to Guo Jia, grabbed his clothes frantically, and shouted: "Give back the country, give it back to me!"

"The Han Dynasty is dead!"

"No, you kill Cao Pi and let me restore the country!"

"The Han Dynasty is dead!"

"Feng Xiao, you owe me this! You owe me!"

"The Han Dynasty is dead!"

"Give back the country to me, give it back to me."

Liu Xie kept roaring, but only got Guo Jia's indifferent words, and he suddenly let go of his hand, and slowly slid to the ground in a daze, and sat on the floor, his eyes glazed over, and cold tears fell like rain , murmuring incessantly.

"How can I meet my ancestors?"

Guo Jia saw him stunned like a lost soul, leaned down, sighed softly, and said: "Your Majesty, Cao Cao owes the Han family a share in the name of emperor, and he doesn't need to be called emperor to pay it back. I owed your majesty a share in helping the Han." Promise, I can make up for it, just like Cao Cao, I will not proclaim myself emperor."

Liu Xie turned his head and looked up at Guo Jia, his sluggish eyes suddenly turned cold, and he said with hatred: "Guo Jia, don't pretend anymore, Cao thief didn't call himself emperor, what did Cao Pi do? You don't call yourself emperor, hahahaha you Can you cut off your children and grandchildren before saying this sentence?"

Guo Jia is indeed hypocritical about this matter, but even if he has a guilty conscience, he will not soften his heart at this moment.

"Your Majesty, I will return the country to you, can you accept it? How many civil servants and military officers do you have to protect the country and the people? I will let you return to the court and restore the country. My Guo family will withdraw from the court and live in seclusion. Within a month, you The Liu family can't even keep their last blood!"

Guo Jia looked calm and looked at Liu Xie seriously.

These words are true. Liu Xie can't control the overall situation, and he can't win people's hearts. If he ascends the throne again, he will definitely promote some cronies and party members. .

The dead silence lasted for a long time, Liu Xie closed his eyes, and asked disheartenedly: "How do you plan to treat me? Kill me with one knife? Or do you want me to give way like Cao Pi?"

Guo Jia spoke bluntly, and said: "Your Majesty, the Han Dynasty is dead. You are just a happy prince now, and no one cares about what will happen to you. Listen to me and enjoy your life with your family."

Liu Xie didn't reply, and it wasn't that Guo Jia was discussing with him.

Guo Jia walked out of the main hall and said to Fazheng who was waiting outside the door: "Send someone to send his family to Chengdu, there must be no mistake."

Chengdu is Guo Jia's base camp, the place where the political power is the most stable, and it is also the place where Liu Xie can no longer make waves. Putting him there, Guo Jia has no worries about what kind of threat this subjugated king can pose to him.
