Can I get to the other side?

Chapter 90 Seizing Jia Xu's Lifeline

Cao Cao's mood at this time was like the turbulent water of the Huai River below, and he could not calm down for a long time.

He knew that Lu Bu's courage was unparalleled in the world.

But he didn't expect it to be so outrageous!

Shooting and killing the enemy general across the river, it is no exaggeration to say that this feat can directly compare to Xiang Yu's lifting of the tripod!

No wonder Yuan Shu lost this decisive battle.

It was not because of his incompetence, but because Lu Bu was too strong. His shocking arrow directly shot down the morale of the three armies.

"Lu Bu's arrow is really an anomaly."

Cao Cao had a complicated expression and couldn't help but sigh.

Then he picked up the letter and continued to read it. The content on it made him stunned again.

"Zhang Xiu led his troops to rescue Yuan Shu?"

"Why is he here?"

If Lu Bu's killing across the river shocked Cao Cao, then this news brought him a lot of questions.

Of course he knew that Zhang Xiu had fled to Yangzhou.

I thought the other party was planning to fish in troubled waters in Yangzhou and seize one or two pieces of territory; or to surrender to Sun Ce in Jiangdong to seek a place to settle down.

But what is the matter of saving Yuan Shu?

Xun You thought about it and said uncertainly: "My lord, will he surrender to Yuan Shu?"

Cao Cao opened his mouth and wanted to refute, but he felt that what Xun You said seemed very likely.

Otherwise, there is no way to explain why Zhang Xiu would take action.

After a moment of silence, Cao Cao slapped his palm heavily on the railing and cursed with an ugly face: "I was defeated by such a fool in Wancheng!"

All the princes in the world wanted to attack Yuan Shu, but Zhang Xiu did the opposite. What is stupid?

And he was defeated by such a fool!

Xun You saw Cao Cao angry and quickly changed the subject: "My lord, do we still want to continue to attack Shou County?"

Now this happened.

The established plan must also change accordingly.

But Cao Cao didn't answer with a sullen face.

The current situation was a mess, and he had no idea what to do. He hesitated for a long time before speaking.

"Let's push the army to the outside of Shou County first."

"Lu Bu will definitely attack Shou County next, and Zhang Xiu rescued Yuan Shu, and there is no way to escape except Shou County."

"We can only take it one step at a time."

Cao Cao sighed deeply. He originally wanted to let Lu Bu and Yuan Shu lose both, and then reap the benefits.

But Lu Bu's arrow and Zhang Xiu's appearance disrupted all his plans and deployments. Now he has no better way except to adapt to the situation.

...

It was five days later that the news of Lu Bu's defeat of Yuan Shu at the Huai River reached Yecheng, and Yecheng was shocked!

Shooting and killing Yuan Shu's generals across the Huai River.

As the attacking party in a river crossing battle, he successfully crossed the river with less than 10,000 casualties and defeated Yuan Shu's 60,000 troops.

Either of these two pieces of news can be called shocking!

Even after Liu Xie listened to Guo Jia's detailed account of the entire Huaihe River Campaign, he could not help but be amazed by Lu Bu.

"It turns out that shooting the halberd at the gate is far from his limit."

Liu Xie was deeply moved.

Others thought that shooting the halberd at the gate was already awesome enough, but who knew that Lu Bu's limit was far more than that, and there were even more awesome skills that he had not yet used.

In the era of cold weapons, can you still shoot people to death with a bow and arrow across the Huaihe River?

You are worthy of it, Fengxian!

Guo Jia also praised: "Lu Bu's bravery is unparalleled in the world, and he will surely shock the world after this battle!"

"If your majesty can subdue him, who will be Lu Fengxian's enemy in the future when you fight against the rebels in the world?"

In the face of absolute strength, the infamy of being a slave of three surnames is false. Now Lu Bu's value is enough to make people ignore his personal character!

Liu Xie certainly had the idea of ​​subduing Lu Bu in his heart.

But it's too early to think about these things now.

He can't even leave the palace.

And maybe when he finally got rid of Yuan Shao's control, Lu Bu had already been killed by Cao.

"Fengxian, Fengxian, live well."

"Wait for me to take power and appoint you as the general!"

Liu Xie prayed silently for Lu Bu in his heart, then looked at Guo Jia and asked, "What's the situation with Jia Xu now?"

Last time Guo Jia said he would test Jia Xu, but he didn't tell him the result, and he still didn't know what the situation was.

Guo Jia said, "Reporting to your majesty, I visited his house last time and asked him indirectly. He should have noticed the relationship between me and your majesty."

"But so far, he has not given me any response, so I haven't reported it to your majesty."

"But what is certain is that Jia Xu is not determined to be Yuan Shao. I think he can be won over, but don't rush it."

"In addition, I have secretly found out where his family is hiding."

Guo Jia added secretly that the current situation is under his control.

He knew that Jia Xu was not so easily moved.

After all, it was related to his life and property, so he had to think carefully before making a decision, so he was not in a hurry, he was very patient.

It is estimated that Jia Xu is also waiting for him to come again.

The next time they meet and talk, there should be a result.

"Fuck!"

Liu Xie was shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect Guo Fengxiao, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, to secretly inquire about Jia Xu's family.

At first, he didn't have much hope of winning over Jia Xu, and he just wanted to let Guo Jia try.

But now it seems that there may be some hope.

In history, Jia Xu surrendered to Cao Cao because his family members were on his side.

Although he was surprised, Liu Xie still did not forget to tell Guo Jia: "Do your best, don't force yourself, and put your own safety first."

Jia Xu is illusory, and Guo Jia is the confidant he can rely on now.

It is necessary to make it clear which is more important.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I know what's going on."

Guo Jia nodded, hesitated for a moment and asked: "Your Majesty, how have you been getting along with Concubine Zhen recently?"

He was not trying to pry into the emperor's privacy.

But he wanted to analyze what kind of person she was based on the details of Liu Xie's daily contact and interaction with this Zhen girl.

"Her?"

The figure of Zhen Mi appeared in Liu Xie's mind.

He and Zhen Mi are now sleeping in the same bed, and they have done what they should do, and everything is going well.

As for how he and Zhen Mi get along on a daily basis... it's definitely not love, it can only be said that they are respectful to each other. Zhen Mi is very respectful to him and very obedient.

After recalling the time they spent together during this period, Liu Xie said: "It's normal, nothing unusual."

"On weekdays, she doesn't come to disturb me except to serve me in bed and greet me in the morning and evening. She basically stays in her own bedroom or reads books and paints in the back garden."

The biggest impact brought by Zhen Mi is that he now changes the place of meeting Guo Jia from the back garden to the bedroom.

"That's good."

Guo Jia also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. Although he sent this Zhen girl into the palace to win over the Zhen family, he was really worried that she had ill intentions.

Now it seems that he thought too much.
