Can I get to the other side?

Chapter 196: The sharp edge of the imperial guards, Empress Fu kills Cao the thief

July 7th.

Liu Xie rode on the dragon chariot to the camp outside the city. When he passed by the river where he met Jushou, he couldn't help but sigh.

"In the blink of an eye, I have been here for almost three years."

When he first crossed over, he fled with the refugees at a loss.

Later, because he didn't want to eat tree bark and was really hungry, he thought of plagiarizing a few poems and selling them to the rich families in the city.

But he was a refugee with unknown origins and couldn't enter the city at all.

The way that time travelers get rich and become famous by plagiarizing is completely unworkable.

In the end, he ate wild vegetables and gnawed tree bark, wandering all the way.

In order to prevent being eaten by people around him, he chose to leave the vast refugee group and drifted to Yecheng.

Zhang He, who was riding beside the dragon chariot, said with a worried look on his face: "Your Majesty, are you really going to stay in the military camp tonight? If Yuan Shao loses his mind and the army approaches..."

Liu Xie calmed down and said: "If you want to play a show, you have to do it in full, otherwise how can you get Yuan Shao to join the game? There are Wenyuan's 10,000 troops, plus Junyi's 3,000 Yulin Guards. If Yuan Shao really attacks the border with a large army, it will be in line with my wishes."

With Zhang Liao's 10,000 troops and 3,000 Yulin Guards, there is no fear of Yuan Shao's army approaching the border.

Not to mention the soldiers recruited by Yuan Xi and the 4,000 city defense troops.

But despite this, Zhang He still felt worried.

After all, Yuan Shao will be brought into the game tomorrow, and no one knows what will happen.

The situation on the battlefield changes rapidly, and even an arrow may hurt the emperor.

The emperor's carriage moved forward and came to the camp in the southern suburbs.

At this time, 10,000 soldiers in the southern suburbs camp were doing routine exercises.

The shouts of killing made the people who heard them excited.

"Your Majesty, your servant Zhang Liao, welcomes His Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, your servant Huang Zhong, welcomes His Majesty!"

In front of the camp, Zhang Liao led a group of confidants and Huang Zhong to welcome Liu Xie's carriage at the camp gate.

"No need to be polite, everyone."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After everyone stood up, Liu Xie looked at Huang Zhong and said, "I have ordered people to find Hua Tuo's whereabouts. In less than three months, he will be able to bring him back to Yecheng."

Huang Zhong was overjoyed when he heard this, and his heart was even more moved.

The emperor was so noble that he still cared about him.

He had been looking for doctors and medicines with his son for several years, and he had long been desperate and numb. Now he finally saw hope.

With the genius doctor Hua Tuo, his son's illness could be cured.

The emperor treated him so well. If he did not make some achievements to repay the grace of heaven, what difference would he make from an animal?

Huang Zhong fell to his knees with a thud, and said with tears of gratitude: "Your Majesty, I have no way to repay your grace. I can only let your Majesty use this broken body."

Zhang Liao, who was standing by, said with a smile: "Your Majesty, General Huang's martial arts are amazing. I am in my prime, but I am still no match for him. In my opinion, even Guan Yu and Zhang Yide are not General Huang's opponents. Now, I have promoted him to deputy general."

Zhang Liao was so happy to have a general like Huang Zhong that his face was full of smiles.

He even thought that if Huang Zhong was ten years younger, he could fight against Lu Bu.

Afterwards, Zhang Liao reported to Liu Xie about the specific things in the army and introduced him to the army camp.

After walking and stopping for about half an incense stick, they came to the camp that Zhang Liao had divided for the Yulin Guards.

Three thousand Yulin Guards, everyone was wearing armor and holding sharp weapons, and they all rode on the best war horses from the grassland, looking majestic.

It was like an elite cavalry.

Even though their individual soldiers are not as good as the Baima Yicong, they are more powerful than the Baima Yicong with armor and weapons.

After Liu Xie inspected them, he nodded with satisfaction.

He turned to Zhang He and Gao Lan who were standing by and said, "Yuan Shao has hidden his troops in Quliang and Guantao. If we lead the troops tomorrow, whether we can annihilate them depends on you."

Zhang He said solemnly, "Your Majesty, rest assured. The Yulin Guards are selected from the elite soldiers. With such armor and weapons, Yuan Shao will definitely come back!"

Gao Lan also nodded heavily to express his approval.

"Good! I hope you two can restore the glory of the Yulin Guards during the reign of Emperor Shizong Xiaowu. Tomorrow, let me see if the Yulin Guards are sharp!"

Zhang He and Gao Lan felt their blood boiling when they heard this.

They wanted to lead the Yulin Guards immediately and kill the Yuan thief in the midst of thousands of troops.

...

Xu County, the Imperial Palace.

After Fu Wan had recuperated at home for a day, he was summoned to the palace by Empress Fu. When the latter saw his appearance, she could not help but be shocked.

"What happened to father?"

Empress Fu asked anxiously and worriedly.

Because Fu Wan now looked extremely weak, listless and haggard, as if he had a serious illness.

It has only been a few days since we last met, how could this happen?

Fu Wan waved his hand and said listlessly: "It's okay, I just got sick... What did the queen call me into the palace for?"

The fact that Yang Biao committed suicide by hitting the wall the day before yesterday had been suppressed by Cao Cao, but it also confirmed the fact that Yang Biao had replaced the emperor.

He, the father-in-law of the country, has become one of the culprits of the false emperor. How could he not be haggard when he was always in panic?

Seeing that Fu Wan was unwilling to say more, Empress Fu had to suppress her worries and talked about business: "Father, do you know that Cao Cao led his troops into the palace a few days ago? He not only questioned your Majesty's identity, but also forced your Majesty to admit that he was a fake emperor."

"Your Majesty refused, and Cao the thief actually drew his sword against you. His intention to usurp the throne is obvious!"

"Father, Cao Cao is so rebellious. If he continues like this, I'm afraid he will really commit crimes and usurp the throne!"

Queen Fu's tone was full of worry.

Although the emperor asked her not to tell Fu Wan and others about this, she couldn't help it because what Cao Cao did was too much.

He led his troops into the forbidden area and faced the emperor with swords.

This is an unpardonable sin!

"Um."

After hearing this, Fu Wan didn't feel angry, he just nodded lightly.

Cao Cao sent Chen Qun to Yecheng to show that he knew the truth.

This time when he led troops into the palace, he presumably confirmed from the pseudo-emperor that the person who stole the sky and changed the sun was Yang Biao.

That's why he broke into Yang's house the day before yesterday and interrogated Yang Biao's accomplices.

If we follow it through, everything is traceable and reasonable.

Empress Fu didn't expect Fu Wan's reaction to be so dull. She couldn't help but frown and said, "Why did my father react so dull? Cao Cao humiliated the emperor like this and even ordered the soldiers to take me away by force. This move offends heaven." The family is dignified, and as the father of the country, shouldn’t he just ignore it?”

She really couldn't understand Fu Wan's coldness.

If Fu Wan had been there before, he would have been so angry after hearing the news that he would have blown his beard and glared, and went directly to the door with a cane to settle the score with Cao Cao.

Now he is so cold, as if he is a different person.

Fu Wan raised his eyelids and said, "What can I do if I know? Cao Cao is so powerful that I can't do anything about it."

"Father!" Queen Fu was extremely angry and said with tears in her eyes: "Do you also think that the emperor is fake? This is just an excuse for Cao Cao to commit treason. How can father believe it!"

"If the father does not believe in his daughter, she is willing to die to prove her innocence!"

Empress Fu was extremely chaste. As she spoke, she took out the golden hairpin from her hair and pressed it against her white neck. Her eyes widened angrily and she stared straight at Fu Wan.

As long as Fu Wan dares to say no, she will commit suicide immediately!

"Queen!" Fu Wan's face finally changed, and he said anxiously: "I didn't say I didn't believe it, so why should the queen be like this? It's just that I really can't help it."

"The thief Cao is so powerful, how can I stop him?"

This sentence was half an excuse and half the truth. Firstly, he couldn't protect himself and he really didn't want to take risks for the false emperor in the palace. Secondly, Cao Cao was indeed powerful, but he was helpless.

Empress Fu still refused to give up and pressed: "My daughter invited her father to the palace today just to discuss this matter. My daughter has a good plan, as long as her father is willing to help!"

"If the father does not agree, the daughter will commit suicide in front of her father!"

Fu Wan only felt a huge headache, but he couldn't just watch his daughter commit suicide in front of him, so he could only comfort him: "Tell me, what's a good idea?"

Empress Fu calmed down a little, put down the hairpin in her hand, and said, "The traitor Cao is forcing Your Majesty to plot rebellion and usurp the throne. None of the ministers in the court know about this."

"As long as my father takes his daughter's edict with the phoenix seal to contact Duke Yang and Duke Dong, who are loyal to His Majesty, and join forces to get rid of the Cao thieves, Your Majesty will be able to regain power!"

Queen Fu's idea is very simple.

As long as Cao Cao, the biggest traitor, can be killed, the emperor can regain power and everything can get back on track!

"Kill Cao Cao? This is really..."

Fu Wan felt in his heart that Queen Fu's idea was too naive.

I was about to shake my head and refuse, but stopped when the words reached my lips.

Because he suddenly discovered a key point - Cao Cao is indeed a traitor!

No matter for the emperor of Xu County or the emperor of Yecheng, as long as he can get rid of Cao Cao, he will be a loyal and loyal hero of the Han Dynasty!

The emperors on both sides, whether true or false, must recognize his contribution.

Even if the Emperor of Yecheng finally reorganizes the country and begins to settle accounts after the fall, although the fact that Empress Fu allowed the false emperor to marry cannot be changed, for the sake of his sincerity and loyalty, the family can be preserved to the greatest extent!

Thinking of this, Fu Wan's originally dead heart was ignited with a glimmer of hope, and his spirit was also lifted up.

"Okay! Write an edict quickly and I will contact all officials to get rid of Cao Cao!"

"Thank you, father!" Empress Fu was overjoyed and handed the edict she had prepared to Fu Wan. At the same time, she did not forget to warn: "This matter is the daughter's own decision. Father, please do not let your majesty know."

Fu Wan nodded, put away the edict and left.

Let him know what to do?

There is no guarantee that in order to survive, he would be the first to inform Cao Cao.

After returning home, Fu Wan began to think about who to recruit to help eliminate the thieves.

"Yang Biao, this cunning old man, can't do it. I am a relative and he sees him as a thorn in his side. Otherwise, he wouldn't have concealed the story of the emperor from me. Besides, he is now under house arrest by Cao Cao, so he can't help me."

"As for Dong Cheng, although he is in the same boat as me now, he has great ambitions and is not a good minister. He was the one who summoned Cao Cao to lead troops to Beijing in the first place. He tried to use Cao Cao to eradicate dissidents and monopolize the government."

"From this point of view, who is important enough..."

Fu Wan murmured to himself, and the faces of important court officials flashed in his mind.

Finally, the target was a counselor under Cao Cao.

"Xun Yu, Xun Wenruo!"

Fu Wan suddenly raised his head, his eyes shining brightly.

"Although Xun Wenruo worked for Cao Cao, everyone knew that he was loyal to the Han Dynasty."

"Besides, he is deeply trusted by Cao Cao. If I get his help, I will definitely be able to get rid of Cao Cao and make him a loyal minister!"

Having made up his mind, Fu finished and put the edict in his arms.

After taking a look at the evening sky outside, he stood up and left the study.

Xun Mansion.

Since being publicly humiliated by Xu You the day before, Xun Yu has been staying indoors, claiming to be sick and refusing to see guests.

What Xu You said that day was really too sharp.

Even if he believed that the emperor of Xu County was the orthodox of the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao had been monopolizing the government for more than two years. How could he be a loyal minister?

He claimed to be loyal to the Han Dynasty, but he served under the traitor in the hearts of all officials. Isn't it a great absurdity in the world!

Being publicly humiliated by Xu You, the fig leaf that had been convincing him was also torn off, making him feel ashamed.

"Xun Yu, Xun Yu, who are you loyal to?"

"The emperor? Or... the Grand Marshal?"

"Or are you just a selfish person, everything is just for your own reputation and the interests of the Xun family?"

Xun Yu looked at the brilliant sunset in the sky, his expression became more and more painful.

The Han Dynasty is a dual-master system, the emperor is the biggest master, and the second is the loyal followers.

That day, he could have used this to refute Xu You's accusation against him, but he did not refute it because he knew it was just an excuse.

He could fool others, but not himself.

His heart was always wavering, always looking ahead and behind, wanting to be loyal to the reputation of the Han Dynasty and the interests of the family.

Xun Yu sighed and fell into confusion.

I don't know how long it took, the housekeeper of the mansion came to report: "Master, Fu Guozhang is visiting."

Xun Yu came back to his senses, raised his bloodshot old eyes and looked at the housekeeper, "I said I was sick and refused to see guests, why is he here?"

The housekeeper said: "Guozhang said he had important matters to discuss with the master, I dare not be disrespectful, so I came to report to the master."

Xun Yu thought for a moment and said: "Bring him here."

The housekeeper agreed, and soon he brought Fu Wan in.

"Cough cough..."

Xun Yu saw Fu Wan and deliberately coughed twice, pretending that he was not well yet.

"The father-in-law of the state suddenly came to visit, I wonder what he wants?"

"Wen Ruo." Fu Wan looked extremely serious, stepped forward and held Xun Yu's hands, and said in a deep voice: "I came tonight to discuss important matters with you!"

"Please look at this thing!"

Fu Wan did not beat around the bush, came straight to the point, took out the edict written by Empress Fu from his arms, and handed it to Xun Yu.

"This is..." Xun Yu opened the edict in confusion, and read it carefully by candlelight. As he read it, an expression of disbelief appeared on his face, and his hand trembled violently as if it was burned, and the edict fell to the ground.

He looked up at Fu Wan in horror and exclaimed: "You want to kill the Grand Marshal!"

This edict is the imperial decree of Empress Fu!

It clearly states that the traitor Cao Cao forced the emperor to rebel and usurp the throne. Please ask all loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty to kill the traitor to save the Han Dynasty!

Fu Wan bent down to pick up the imperial edict, and said indignantly: "Wen Ruo, Cao thief led his troops into the harem and forced the emperor with a sword. Is there such a rebellious minister in the world?"

"Although you are a subordinate of Cao Cao, you are also a minister of the Han Dynasty. The reason why I came to find you is that I value your loyalty to the Han Dynasty!"

"Wen Ruo must help me eliminate Cao Cao and help Your Majesty regain power! By then, you will be the greatest contributor, and it will not be a problem to be ranked among the three ministers!"

Fu Wan began to paint a big cake for Xun Yu.

However, Xun Yu, a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, was furious: "Sikong is my lord! How can I betray my master? Let's not talk about this anymore! Please go back, father-in-law!"

Xun Yu's face was ashen and his tone was stiff.

It was absolutely impossible for him to betray Cao Cao.

The only thing he could do was not to report Fu Wan to Cao Cao.

Fu Wan was stunned and never expected Xun Yu to answer like this.

In his opinion, Xun Yu was a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty. After learning that the emperor was forced by Cao Cao with a sword, he would definitely help him eliminate Cao Cao.

This result was unacceptable to him.

"Wen Ruo! Cao thief is your master, but is the emperor not? Is there a greater master than the emperor in the world!"

"You are simply rebelling against the heaven!"

"How dare you call yourself a loyal minister!"

Fu Wan was even more angry than Xun Yu, pointing at his nose and cursing.

This remark just hit the wound in Xun Yu's heart, and his heart became more painful and his face became more ferocious.

But in the end, he chose to stand on Cao Cao's side.

"Come on! Get this man out!"

After the voice fell, the housekeeper walked into the study with the servants in a short while, and drove Fu Wan out on the left and right.

Fu Wan struggled and cursed: "Xun Yu! So you are also a traitor! I was really blind to believe that you were a loyal minister!"

Xun Yu just watched him being kicked out of the mansion coldly, without any quibbling or rebuttal.

...

Fu De, who had been waiting by the carriage outside the mansion, was shocked to see Fu Wan being kicked out of the Xun Mansion, and hurried to support Fu Wan.

At the same time, he angrily scolded the Xun Mansion's housekeeper: "My father is the father-in-law of the country, how dare you be so rude!"

The housekeeper glanced at him and closed the door heavily.

Father-in-law of the country? Even the emperor is controlled by the Grand Marshal, what's the use of the father-in-law of the country!

My master is the person that the Grand Marshal relies on the most.

The housekeeper's attitude made Fu De even more angry, but at this moment he was still more concerned about Fu Wan.

He helped him onto the carriage and asked, "Father, what happened? How could Xun Yu kick you out of the house!"

"Don't ask!"

Fu Wan said to the driver with a gloomy look, "Drive back to the house immediately! Quick!"

The driver did not dare to neglect and drove the carriage quickly to the Fu mansion.

After returning to the mansion, Fu Wan immediately called all his children to the study.

"De'er, pack up and leave Xu County at night to go to Yecheng to seek refuge with the emperor. The rest of you will all return to your hometown in Langya tomorrow morning."

Fu Wan's tone was full of urgency.

When they heard the news suddenly, all the children, including Fu De, looked at each other.

Fu Wan's wife, Princess Yang'an, was also puzzled.

"My husband, why did you suddenly..."

"It's too late to explain, just do it." Fu Wan sighed and said with a complicated look: "If they don't leave, they will never be able to leave again."

He mistakenly believed Xun Yu and told the plan to murder Cao Cao.

Once Xun Yu informed, Cao Cao would definitely retaliate against him!

As the father-in-law of the country, Cao Cao might not kill him, but his children would definitely have no way to survive.

Princess Yang'an, Fu De and others were shocked when they heard the words.

What happened to make the father-in-law of the country so terrified!

Fu Wan looked at Fu De and said, "The prosperity of my Fu family depends on you. When you go to Yecheng, you must serve the emperor in a down-to-earth manner and not be negligent in the slightest."

Fu De looked bitter and said, "Father, how can I get the emperor's trust?"

In the eyes of the emperor in Yecheng, their family were all traitors who supported the false emperor.

If he went to Yecheng, once his identity was exposed, he would be lucky not to be beheaded.

Fu Wan patted his shoulder and said with a deep look in his eyes, "Father has his own way, just go."

It's nothing more than death.

Yang Biao could hit the wall and kill himself to preserve his loyalty, so why can't he?

Tomorrow morning, he will denounce Cao Cao in front of all the officials and expose his various crimes.

The unit has a team building, so I have to go. I wrote a chapter on my mobile phone. After dinner and returning to the palace, I won't go to bed until I finish writing 20,000 words.

In addition, the plot of Xu County is coming to an end. On the surface, it is a dispute between the real and fake emperors, but in fact it is laying the groundwork for a big plot. Can anyone guess what it is? And today I will write about the plot of recovering Jizhou. If you have any good ideas, please leave a message.
