We agreed that you, a weak strategist, would fight against three heroes by yourself?

what's the situation?

The emperor actually took the initiative to speak for Xiyu?

This situation was something Dong Cheng and others had never expected. Even Cao Cao was a little surprised.

What's going on!

When did this boy Fengyi become a distant relative of the Emperor?

After everyone stood up, Cao Cao subconsciously glanced at Xi Zhicai beside him.

The latter was also a little confused at this time.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Cao Cao glancing towards him. Xi Zhicai looked at his nose and nose, but he didn't open his mouth to explain.

Dong Cheng was in a daze and originally wanted to take this opportunity to make things difficult for Xi Yu.

Unexpectedly, His Majesty took the initiative to speak for the other party.

This time, he became very busy!

Even Yang Biao and the others looked at Dong Cheng with obviously evil eyes.

Liu Xie has now revealed his identity.

The current village is no longer suitable for the other party to stay.

Cao Cao was a little impatient. At this moment, it was the time for him to welcome the emperor to Xu County!

Cao Cao turned to look at Xi Yu. Looking at Boss Cao's eyes, Xi Yu naturally understood what he meant.

In his opinion, this matter is not urgent!

The emperor's identity has been revealed, not to mention that the other party is still in Yanzhou.

Cao Cao came here on this trip. Although he didn't bring many troops, it was barely enough!

In fact, if Cao Cao had been tougher, he would have been able to seduce the emperor to Xu County with half as much power as Li Jue, Guo Si and others.

Of course, Cao Cao probably wouldn't do this now.

Now that Liu Xie's identity has been revealed, as long as Cao Cao is not in a hurry, he will follow Cao Cao to Xu County sooner or later.

Is it possible to let Cao Cao escort the other party back to Luoyang?

Xiyu knew clearly that there was no need to rush this matter.

Sure enough, as Liu Xie's identity was revealed, Dong Cheng and others were the first to become restless.

"Your Majesty, now that we have met General Cao, it is time for us to return to Luoyang!"

Before, he took Liu Xie away from Luoyang because Dong Cheng and others were afraid of Yang Feng, Han Xian and others.

Now, with Cao Cao as a foreign aid, Yang Feng and others naturally have nothing to worry about!

Dong Cheng and others made a good calculation.

If they continue to stay in Yanzhou, although their status can be guaranteed in the short term, this is Cao Cao's territory after all.

As time goes by, there may be some things that they can no longer control.

At this time, the best choice is to let Cao Cao return to Luoyang with them with his army.

Bringing Cao Cao's army back to Luoyang can be regarded as an obvious way to drive away wolves and devour tigers!

However, they did not see clearly who was the wolf and who was the tiger.

And to them, it doesn't matter.

The point is, Luoyang is not under Cao Cao's control, and they have plenty of means to deal with Cao Cao.

As Dong Cheng spoke, Taiwei Yang Biao and others also followed suit.

Nowadays, the interests of these courtiers can be regarded as extremely consistent.

Because of this, these people did not have many objections to returning to Luoyang.

And heard Dong Cheng speak out his words of advice.

Cao Cao on the other side was a little anxious!

Seeing the emperor right in front of him, how could he be willing to send the emperor to Luoyang.

He, Cao Cao, is not an idiot!

Cao Cao was a little anxious and even wanted to speak out.

However, before Cao Cao could speak, Xi Zhicai on the side reached out and grabbed Cao Cao.

"Lord, don't worry, this matter is still under control!"

The emperor is already in Yanzhou, how can he be allowed to run away like this!

Do you really think that the Gong Gong lords in front of you are all idiots?

After hearing Xi Zhicai's consolation, Cao Cao stepped back and did not speak in a hurry.

At this time, Liu Xie was not in a hurry!

After returning to Luoyang, he realized that the old capital in his memory was no longer as beautiful as he imagined.

At present, Luoyang is full of wilderness, and it coincides with a severe drought. When you return to that place, you will be hungry and full.

Liu Xie no longer wants to experience this kind of day!

What's more, there are still Yang Feng and others stationed in Luoyang, and they are eager to go back, which will inevitably lead to another battle.

Liu Xie is not in a hurry.

"We will discuss this matter later. What do you think, Qing Xi?"

Liu Xie did not accept the suggestions of Dong Cheng and others. At this moment, he turned his head and asked Xi Yu.

Maybe it was because of the other person's reputation before, or maybe it was because of his playful behavior.

At this moment, Liu Xie had a good impression of Xi Yu.

Xi Yu was somewhat surprised when he heard Liu Xie turning to ask himself.

At this moment, Cao Cao's eyes were staring straight at him.

The look in his eyes seemed to be urging Xi Yu to say something.

"What do you think of the people here, Your Majesty?"

Xi Yu did not directly suggest where to go. Instead, he asked Liu Xie a question.

After hearing this, Liu Xie also became interested.

He originally thought that Xi Yu would be like those people, admonishing him to return to Luoyang or go to other places.

Unexpectedly, Xi Yu did not directly respond to his question.

Liu Xie thought carefully about the question Xi Yu asked.

Think about it carefully, how will this place win the people?

Along the way in Yanzhou, Liu Xiede's senses were very good for the people of Yanzhou.

Passionate and full of energy!

These people were different from the people he had seen in Chang'an and Luoyang before!

The people he saw before were all sallow and thin, like refugees.

"It's really good!"

Liu Xie replied.

Hearing this, Xi Yu nodded: "In that case, your Majesty might as well stay a little longer this time. With General Cao guarding you outside, your Majesty will have nothing to worry about!"

Xiyu spoke.

Hearing this, Liu Xie didn't feel disgusted at all.

It’s not a bad idea to stay a few more days!

"Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Your Majesty might as well experience the feeling of having fun with the people!"

Xiyu spoke again.

Liu Xie also felt good following him.

Have fun with the people!

This is probably something that many emperors have imagined.

Wasn't it the same for Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty?

"What Xi Qing said is true. In that case, I will stay here for a few more days and experience the lives of the people!"

As Liu Xie made up his mind, the expressions of Dong Cheng and others couldn't help but change.

What is joy with the people?

These people are nobles and nobles, what fun do they have with those mud-legged common people?

However, now that Liu Xie has spoken, Dong Cheng, Yang Biao and others are hard pressed to say anything.

Stay for a few more days and stay for a few more days.

"General Cao, since your Majesty has decided to stay a few more days, he will rely on you to protect him from now on!"

At this time, Yang Biao glanced at Cao Cao.

Dong Cheng, who was standing next to him, spoke unceremoniously: "General Cao, now that His Majesty is here, why are you still standing there, why haven't you ordered your subordinates to bring His Majesty a set of food and utensils?"

"This house should be replaced. How can your Majesty, with his rich body, continue to live in this dilapidated place!"

Dong Cheng opened his mouth and gave orders to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao didn't pay too much attention to this bossy tone.

"You are right, Cao didn't think carefully!"

Cao Cao had a smile on his face, and after a few words of casual agreement, he gave instructions to Cao Hong who was following him.

After hearing Cao Cao's instructions, Cao Hong curled his lips and glanced at Dong Cheng and others with some disdain.

"Brother, why do you care about these guys? You want me to see..."

"Be presumptuous, don't talk nonsense!"

He scolded Cao Hong and asked Cao Hong to return to Juancheng to deliver supplies. Then Cao Cao looked at Xi Yu again.

At this time, Xi Yu was standing in front of Liu Xie. When he saw Cao Cao looking over, he bowed towards Liu Xie.

"Your Majesty, I still have something to do, so I'll take my leave now!"

Liu Xie nodded and didn't care at all about this: "Queen, please go and do your work first!"

…

After calling Xi Yu over, Cao Cao led Xi Yu toward the place where he led his troops to temporarily camp.

Xi Zhicai noticed that the two of them seemed to have something to say, but they did not follow them directly.

After a while, the two arrived at the temporary camp.

Cao Cao turned his head and looked at Xi Yu, couldn't help laughing and asked the question in his heart.

"Fengyi, when did you become related to His Majesty?"

Cao Cao was a little curious. He didn't know what happened between Xi Yu and the emperor.

But what Cao Cao knew was that the Emperor and Xi Yu were definitely not related.

If this relationship really existed, Xi Yu and Xi Zhicai would not have come to work for him in the first place!

"Brother, this really stopped me, I'm also a little curious!"

Xiyu responded casually!

He didn't know what Liu Xie was thinking when he fell to the ground. Who knows!

He didn't want to be an imperial uncle to Liu Xie or anything like that.

Hearing Xi Yu's response, Cao Cao couldn't help but pause.

Then the two looked at each other and smiled, but did not continue to explore this topic.

Sitting across from the two people in the tent.

Cao Cao raised his eyes and glanced in the direction of Liu Xie, and then his eyes flickered.

The emperor is in Yanzhou, and catering to the emperor will naturally not make any big mistakes.

He just didn't react for a while!

When he came back to his senses, some things became extremely clear.

As for Dong Cheng, Yang Biao and others, Cao Cao doesn't care at all!

In Cao Cao's opinion, the other party's previous bossy behavior was nothing more than a dog barking a few times because of a dog's strength.

Not to mention that Yang Biao and others were Han Taiwei, even if they were Liu Xie, Cao Cao didn't pay much attention to them.

Emperor is just a name!

After all, Liu Xie in front of him is just a boy in his mid-fifties!

How much attention can a young man make people take him seriously?

Today's great Han Dynasty is like a building about to collapse, and the power of the imperial court is already in name only in the eyes of princes everywhere!

The emperor had been missing for several days, but no princes showed any signs of anxiety.

Is it difficult for him that Yuan Shao doesn't have any spies in Sili?

Yuan Shao naturally had the news about the emperor's disappearance.

Even the emperor's previous journey back east could not be hidden from Yuan Shao who was in Jizhou.

When it comes to current strength, Yuan Shao is naturally the strongest.

After all, if he, Yuan Shao, wanted to help this great man, how could he ignore the emperor?

If Yuan Shao led troops to escort the emperor, or even took the initiative to flatter the emperor, what would Li Jue, Guo Si and others mean?

After all, Yuan Shao has no such intention!

All the princes in this world have no such thoughts!

In fact, some people may already wish that the emperor would just die!

Cao Cao was in a daze!

From the beginning of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he still yearned for the Han Dynasty.

Even if signs of troubled times appeared, Cao Cao still wanted to use his own ability to calm the troubled times.

To be granted the title of Marquis and to be the Prime Minister is what he yearns for.

Being able to do what his ancestor Cao Shen did would not disgrace his position as a member of the Cao family.

But now, his heart is in confusion!

With the series of actions by Li Jue, Guo Si and others, the title of prince and prime minister that Cao Cao originally longed for has become such a child's play.

After all, the big man is no longer the big man he used to be!

"Fengyi, someone told me that using the emperor to command the princes, what do you think?"

As his thoughts flickered, Cao Cao raised his head and glanced at Xi Yu in front of him.

I heard Cao Cao mention this.

Xi Yu was slightly stunned.

No matter it is, taking advantage of the emperor to order the princes, or serving the emperor to punish disloyal subjects!

In fact, the two are essentially the same after all.

It's just a difference in terms of expression. One sounds a bit treacherous, while the other sounds pretty good!

However, most people know that the two are ultimately the same.

Xiyu didn't respond in a hurry.

He looked up at Cao Cao.

The aura of Cao Cao in front of him seemed to have become a little low at some point, as if he suddenly felt confused in his heart.

Maybe it was because he suddenly saw the face of this great Han Dynasty clearly, or maybe it was something else.

However, to Xi Yu, these are not important.

"Brother, what do you think is a prosperous age?"

Xi Yu once said the same thing to Cao Cao.

Now, it’s just a matter of saying it again!

Cao Cao was a little stunned and looked up at Xi Yu blankly: "What does Fengyi think of a prosperous age?"

"The prosperous age?"

“Some people’s prosperous times see peace in the world!”

"But, in such a prosperous age, aren't there people who can't afford to eat?"

"Is the reign of Wen and Jing considered a prosperous period? During the Han-Wu period, when the Han Dynasty wiped out its previous humiliation and expelled the Xiongnu, is it considered a prosperous period?"

Xi Yu asked himself, Cao Cao frowned.

The reign of Wen and Jing was considered a prosperous period!

It was not easy for Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty to succeed to the throne. After taking the throne, Emperor Jing had to rest and recuperate. Emperor Jing inherited Emperor Wen's policies. Although they were a little outdated, there were no big mistakes.

It was precisely because of the policies of these two people that Han Wu achieved dazzling achievements in conquering the Xiongnu!

Is the period they lived in considered a prosperous age?

The great Han Dynasty of that period was respected by all.

Cao Cao thought it should probably be calculated!

"It's a prosperous time!"

Cao Cao responded that Xi Yu was not too surprised when he heard this.

People in this era have limited vision after all.

In his opinion, whether it is the Han Dynasty or later generations, the rule of Zhenguan, the prosperous Kaiyuan era, etc...

These so-called prosperous dynasties, what kind of prosperous times are they?

These are not prosperous times!

Looking at the past dynasties.

Since the founding of the dynasty, the first few generations will have the so-called prosperous reputation.

It must be passed through. It has just experienced the wars at the end of the previous dynasty and the population was in decline.

The restored scene can be called a prosperous age!

In these so-called prosperous times, aren't there people who can't afford to eat?

Yes, maybe there are too many.

It's just that these things will not be recorded in the prosperous times!

Everyone will only see the glamorous appearance of a dynasty. Who will pay attention to the things that others cannot see?

Xi Yu shook his head, looked at Cao Cao in front of him and smiled bitterly.

"The prosperous age that my brother thinks is not a prosperous age in Yu's opinion!"

"Um?"

Aren’t the Wenjing and Hanwu periods considered prosperous times?

So what does Fengyi’s prosperous age look like?

"In my eyes, a prosperous age is very simple!"

Xi Yu chuckled at the corner of his mouth and looked up at the top of the tent, as if he could see through the tent and see the sky.

Although he knew he couldn't see it, Xi Yu had seen such a scene before.

"Brother, the prosperous age I have seen is nothing more than three meals a day for the common people!"

"One side is in trouble, support from all sides!"

"You have someone to take care of you when you are young, and you have someone to rely on when you are old!"

"That's all!"

His voice was neither light nor heavy, just a little deep.

However, these words were like a heavy hammer hitting Cao Cao's chest.

Do the people have something to eat for three meals?

Even during the Wenjing period, there was no guarantee that the people would have enough to eat, not to mention that there were still people who starved to death.

If one party is in trouble, support will be provided from all directions!

When a disaster occurs in one place, the imperial court will take the initiative to provide disaster relief, but it is a bit difficult for other regions to take the initiative to help!

After all, during a disaster, other regions can only ensure that they are not affected!

Have something to worry about when you are young, and have something to rely on when you are old!

This kind of thing is even more difficult!

During the Han Dynasty, the old soldiers who retired from the conquest of the Xiongnu lived countless days like years, which was extremely miserable!

In ordinary people's homes, abandonment of children often happens!

The scene described by Fengyi may really be called a real prosperous age.

only!

Will such a world exist?

Cao Cao was a little stunned. He looked up at Xi Yu's face, and then saw the other person's eyes.

Fengyi’s eyes seemed to have light!

"If it is as Fengyi thinks, in such a prosperous age, Cao Mou will be willing to just be a rich man!"

Cao Cao laughed.

After regaining consciousness, Xi Yu looked at him.

"What brother is thinking now, Yu understands more or less in his heart after thinking about it!"

"The important thing is to see what brother thinks!"

"In Yu's opinion, the world is not difficult, but the most important thing in the world is, as Mencius said, the people are the most valuable, the country is the second most important, and the king is the least important!"

"Actually, as we saw today, most ordinary people don't know the Emperor. Even my brother and I don't know the Emperor!"

"Does it matter who the emperor is?"

"It could be from the Ying family, or from the Liu family, or from the Wang family!"

"No matter who the emperor is, for most people, their lives will not have much impact!"

"In the eyes of ordinary people, what they worry about most is not who owns the world, but whether they can have food to eat tomorrow! Whether they can have enough to eat!"

"This is what they have in mind!"

Xiyu's tone was leisurely. At this point, there was no need to say more.

Cao Cao was in a daze.

At this time, it seemed that what Xi Yu had just said was still echoing in his ears.

That voice then resounded in his mind.

It was like a crack suddenly opened in the fog that shrouded his mind.
