Liu Qi, the hegemon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 89 Farewell
Hulao closed
Li Ru looked at the coalition of princes retreating outside the pass, his eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Did you see Mr. Jia?" Li Ru suddenly grabbed a general and asked.

Lord Jia?The general also remembered that Jia Xu who came here with Li Ru but did nothing, just ate and drank, was well-known in the Xiliang army, but it was recommended by Li Ru, and Dong Zhuo didn't even think about it. No matter what they say, these soldiers don't have any ideas.

Disdain flashed in the general's eyes, and he reported the truth, saying: "Back to Master Li, I seem to have seen that Master Jia had already left the city wall when Marquis Wen was fighting the three generals, and he didn't know where he was going!"

Could it be?Li Ru's thoughts changed sharply, and he ordered: "Strengthen your defenses, and report immediately if there is any situation!"

"promise!"

Although Li Ru knew that the princes would not continue to attack, he did not relax. After ordering, he ignored the general and quickly walked down the city wall and walked towards Guanzhong.

When they came to a mansion, before Li Ru could walk over, they saw a person coming up to meet him.

"Jia Fu, where's Wenhe?" Li Ru asked.

He was quite familiar with the person who came up to meet him. He was Jia Xu's housekeeper. When he saw Jia Fu waiting for him at the door, he had some guesses in his heart, but he didn't quite believe it.

"Return to your lord, my master said that the matter is a foregone conclusion, so he returned to Luoyang first!" Jia Fu replied, paused, and continued: "My master also said that it is easy for a person to change from good to bad, and from bad to good." But it's not easy at all, and I won't make changes because of temporary oppression, and I can't go back to the past!"

"Is it impossible to go back to the past?" Li Ru murmured.

His eyes also became a little dull, and he also thought of Dong Zhuo pulling him, a scribe, to block the arrows at the gate, and also remembered Dong Zhuo's panicked appearance after Lu Bu's defeat.

You must know that although Lu Bu is brave, he can also see clearly when he closed the gate. He was not at a disadvantage when he was surrounded by three people. In the end, it was because one of them often attacked the horses that led to Lu Bu's defeat. You can blame Lu Bu, Hulao is still there, you can wait for another day to fight again, yes.

Suddenly smiled wryly, and said sadly: "Haha, in terms of judging people, I'm still not as good as Wenhe!"

"My lord!" said Jia Fu.

Li Ru waved his hand and said, "It's okay, you can leave too!"

After finishing speaking, he turned around and left, with an idea in his mind, originally he didn't really want to do that, but now he can only do this, so that there is still a glimmer of life, although he understands what Jia Xu said, it is not He was not reconciled to giving up like this at the last moment!
in the coalition camp.

Although Hulao Pass was not captured immediately, the defeat of Lv Bu greatly weakened Dong Jun's morale. In addition to the victory, the princes also threw a celebration banquet and celebrated it wantonly.

Of course, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, the heroes who defeated Lu Bu, also received different treatment, and they didn't think of Zhang Fei's arrogant words after Guan Yu beheaded Hua Xiong.

They all treated him with courtesy. After all, Lu Bu was only defeated and fled. Before killing Dong Zhuo, he still had to rely on the three brothers Liu Bei.

Liu Bei also had a smile on his face. He was not afraid of those who came, and the smile on his face never stopped. He seemed very excited. Although he was a relative of the Han family, there was no way to verify it. He had to rely on himself to be able to communicate with these princes. Building a good relationship is also conducive to development.

Of course, he didn't want to stay under Gongsun Zan's command and be favored by Gongsun Zan forever.

It lasted for a long time before the banquet dissipated.

After Liu Qi asked Zhao Yun and others to return to the tent, he walked to Cao Cao's tent alone. After all, they were in the same camp and not far away.

When there is a banquet, there must be drinking.

Cao Cao was also a little drunk, returned to the camp, and was about to undress and rest when he heard that Liu Qi wanted to see him. Although he was a little puzzled, he was still ready to meet him.

"Brother Meng De, you are so elegant!" Liu Qi smiled after entering the tent.

"Brother Liu Qi was joking. I drank a little too much just now, so I can just hangover!" Cao Cao made a gesture of invitation while speaking, and asked Liu Qi to sit opposite him.

Liu Qi didn't hesitate either. After tidying up his clothes, he sat down opposite Cao Cao.

When he came in, he happened to see Cao Cao making tea himself, so he said that.

"I don't know why Brother Liu Qi came here at this time, why?" Cao Cao poured a cup of tea himself and placed it in front of Liu Qi. He knew that Liu Qi would not come to his camp if he had nothing to do.

Liu Qi was not polite, picked up the still hot tea, blew it a few times, took a sip slowly, and sighed: "Good tea!"

Cao Cao was not in a hurry, and poured himself a cup of tea, waiting for Liu Qi's next words. He knew that there was still something to say.

"I'm here to bid farewell to Brother Meng De!" Liu Qi said directly.

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and said, "Farewell?"

"That's right, Brother Meng De took care of me during this period of time. I have been away from Jingzhou for a long time, and I plan to return tomorrow, so I should hurry back to Jingzhou!" Liu Qi said.

Cao Cao looked at Liu Qi with a sincere face, trying to see something.

However, what Liu Qi said this time was completely true, and he was not afraid of Cao Cao's gaze at all, allowing Cao Cao to scan with scrutiny.

"Don't brother Liu Qi want to see the final result? We must know that within a few days, Hulao Pass will be taken down, Luoyang will be taken directly, and Dong Zhuo, the traitor, will be eradicated!" Cao Cao said.

"It doesn't really matter what the outcome is to me, not to mention the defeat of Lu Bu today, it is only a matter of time before Hulao Pass is taken down, it can be said that the matter is already settled, so whether to stay or not , isn’t it the same?” Liu Qi asked rhetorically.

Hearing this, Cao Cao also knew that Liu Qi had made up his mind to go. Although Liu Qi had a sincere face, he always felt something was wrong in his heart, but there was no reason for Liu Qi to stay.

Then he said: "So, I wish Brother Liu Qi a smooth journey!"

"Thank you!" Liu Qi also said politely.

Although the matter is a foregone conclusion, it is not what Cao Cao thinks in his heart, but he will not remind him, after all, there is no point in reminding him.

And the previous ones are all correct. It won't take long to take Hulao Pass and take Luoyang directly, but there are some changes in it.

The two stopped talking.

After Liu Qi drank a cup of tea, he got up and left Cao Cao's camp.

The next morning.

Liu Qi left Cao Cao's camp with Guo Jia, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Huang Zhong, Xiao Wu, and four other guards, and flew towards Jingzhou, without saying hello to the other princes, there was no need for that .

Yuan Shao and other princes knew that Liu Qi had left, and they didn't have any opinions. After all, Liu Qi was not a member of their camp. He just followed Cao Cao and had no effect on their crusade against Dong Zhuo.
