The next day.

When a fish-belly white color appeared on the skyline east of Xuchang, Xi Yu got dressed and left the house with the help of Cai Yan and Gan Mei.

At that time, Xi Yu felt refreshed and refreshed.

Maybe some people in Xuchang City had trouble sleeping last night, but Xiyu slept well!

After finishing a set of Wuqinxi, Xi Yu took Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia and went straight to Cao Jun's camp outside the city.

At this moment, Dian Wei and others, together with the 6,000 soldiers from Suwei camp, had gathered outside Cao Jun's camp.

Xi Yu held Cao Cao's sword and dispatched 30,000 soldiers from the camp, plus Su Weiying and the Huben Camp led by Xu Chu, planning to go straight to Xuzhou.

"Brother, why do you need to send me off like this?"

The army marched ten miles away from Xuchang City. Xi Yu couldn't help reining in his horse, and his eyes fell on Xun Yu who was following him.

Because Xun Yu insisted on seeing each other off, the march was not very fast.

Hearing Xiyu's question, Xunyu raised his head and glanced at Xiyu.

"Nothing else."

Xun Yu laughed, and then his expression slowly became serious.

"This time I left the city, it was my intention!"

As he finished speaking, Xun Yu glanced at Xi Yu, and then opened his mouth to explain.

"To be honest, Fengyi, I received news last night that someone seems to be planning to take advantage of this opportunity to make some plans!"

"So, if I go out of the city like this with you, I guess those people won't miss this opportunity!"

Xun Yu's tone was calm, and as he spoke, his eyes were already looking in the direction of Xuchangcheng.

At this time, Xi Yu and his army were only ten miles away from Xuchang. He expected that if there was any movement in the city, he would be able to rush back to Xuchang within a short time.

But now, all we need is to wait.

Um?

Hearing Xun Yu say this, Xi Yu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Is there someone in the city who plans to take advantage of this opportunity to muddy the waters?

Just for a moment, the scenes of the past two days appeared in Xi Yu's mind, along with the expressions of everyone in Xuchang before.

Thinking of it this way, Dong Cheng and others' expressions seemed a bit irrational.

However, he had not paid attention to those people before, but he did not expect that Xun Yu would notice them.

Now it seems that Xun Yu's sending him away from the city is the best opportunity for these people.

And for those who want to take advantage of this opportunity.

Now, he left Xuchang, Cao Cao did not return, and even Xun Yu came out with him.

Today's Xuchang may be at its weakest time.

And this time is the best time for those people to take action.

After missing such time, whether it is himself or Cao Cao, if one of them returns to Xuchang, they will have no chance again.

Looking at Xun Yu, Xi Yu was a little surprised.

I never thought that Xun Lingjun, the humble gentleman praised by the world, would now do such a trick!

"Brother, aren't you afraid that those people will see through this move?"

Xi Yu chuckled, and his eyes followed Xun Yu as he looked in the direction of Xuchang City.

This skill was already clear in his mind.

Even if those people saw through Xun Yu's move, they wouldn't have many choices.

On the one hand, for them, the current opportunity is already the best opportunity.

On the other hand, they have no other choice.

"What do you think of Fengyi?"

Xun Yu turned to look at Xi Yu, but did not respond to the previous question.

Upon hearing this, Xi Yu waved his hand, causing the entire army to stop.

Then he looked at Xun Yu.

"I'll just wait with my brother!"

"Let's see if those guys hiding in the darkness will take advantage of this opportunity to emerge!"

The two smiled at each other and said nothing more.

He had asked Xi Zhicai to lead an army of 30,000 to Xuzhou first, leaving only the 6,000 Suwei camp in charge of Dian Wei and others.

If something really happens, these six thousand people will be enough to deal with the situation in Xuchang City!

If nothing happens, it won't be too late for him to lead the Suwei camp to catch up with Xi Zhicai.

At this moment, the Suwei camp stopped in place.

Time passed a little.

Xi Yu thought those people would make no move.

However, at this moment, far away from Xuchang City, a black shadow was speeding towards them.

"Your Majesty, Dong Yilang said that there is something strange happening in the city, and someone may be doing something wrong to Your Majesty!"

The person who came was the subordinate of Yilang Dong Zhao. When he came here with a message, he had already noticed that someone in Xuchang was doing something.

Hearing these words, Xi Yu didn't expect that those people really couldn't sit still at this moment.

Less than half a day after I left, those people couldn't stand it any longer.

He glanced at Xun Yu subconsciously, and the latter's eyes happened to turn around.

"Brother, who is protecting the palace this time?"

Xi Yu reined in his horse and asked Xun Yu casually while directing Dian Wei and others to lead the Suwei camp back to Xuchang as quickly as possible.

Hearing Dao Xiyu's question, Xun Yu responded casually.

"The person responsible for guarding the palace now is Huangmen Shilang, Dongwu Tinghou, Zhong Yao!"

Xun Yu frowned.

"This man is the great Han Zhongliang. He escorted His Majesty back east, and was awarded the title of Marquis of Dongwu Pavilion and Sili Xiaowei!"

"Fengyi means?"

Xun Yu subconsciously looked at Xi Yu, somewhat unbelievable.

Xiyu nodded.

Precisely because the other party's heart is toward the great man and the royal family, the current situation is considered to be in line with common sense.

Those who want to cause trouble in the city are none other than Dong Cheng and other royalists.

And Zhong Yao is naturally one of them.

If Dong Cheng and others want to take action, they need to enter the palace city immediately, then take the emperor with them, and then plan what happens next.

The first step is to communicate with the person responsible for guarding the palace.

Counting the time, it took about half an hour to come from Dong Zhao's command all the way from Xuchang.

And by the time they rushed back to Xuchang, they probably would have left the palace city at most.

If you want to leave Xuchang, you don’t have enough time!

"Dianwei, Zilong!"

"You two each take two thousand guard camps and rush to the Sifang Gate of Xuchang. You must seal the city gate as soon as possible. You are only allowed in but not out!"

After saying this, Dian Wei and Zhao Yun immediately took the order and came out.

Immediately, Xi Yu's eyes fell on Xun Yu again: "Brother Wen Ruo, on this occasion, let you and I take a look at what these people want to do when they fall to the ground!"

After hearing this, Xun Yu also laughed bitterly.

Although he had received some news, he still didn't want something to happen.

only.

Now that Dong Zhao had someone send the news, the thing he least expected to see happened.

Today, there are only two forces in Xuchang City. One is the force under Cao Cao.

On the other hand, there are Dong Cheng and others who are loyal to Liu Xie.

In fact, for Xun Yu, whether it was Cao Cao, Dong Cheng or others, in his opinion, these people were all people who could help the big man together.

However, with different positions, the interests between each other are also different.

Although he knew some things very well, he also knew that it would be difficult to change them.

It is precisely because of this that Xun Yu does not want to see such a thing happen.

He left Xuchang this time to give the other party a chance, but he also gave himself a choice.

But, in the end, the choice no longer matters.

He couldn't let those people take the Emperor away!

"I don't know who planned this situation!"

Xiyu chuckled.

The opportunity in front of us is indeed the best time.

Although Xi Yu doesn't care about Liu Xie, under the current situation, Xi Yu won't look at these people taking Liu Xie away.

Or, something happened to Liu Xie!

He sighed.

Although his face was very calm, Xiyu still felt a little helpless at this moment.

Not only something happened in Xuzhou, but also people in Xuchang wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to make some noise.

It’s really annoying!

He didn't want to take care of these things, but there were some things he had to take care of.

With the remaining two thousand guard camps, the army returned to the outside of Xuchang City in just a short time.

At this time, Dian Wei and Zhao Yun had already led their men to control the city gates in the east, west, north and south.

The entire city of Xuchang is now like a huge sealed cage.

There was no way those people could slip out under his nose so obviously.

At this moment, when Xi Yu was about to follow Xun Yu into the city, Guo Jia and Jia Xu, who had been following him back, suddenly glanced at him.

The two looked at each other, and Guo Jia immediately rushed to Xi Yu's side.

"Fengyi, I have something to say to you, please come with me first!"

At this moment, Guo Jia's face was solemn, and when he spoke, he didn't care at all about the confused Xun Yu beside him.

Guo Jia turned over and dismounted. Seeing this scene, Xi Yu just raised his brows slightly, and then followed him to dismount.

"Fengxiao, what's the matter?"

After dismounting, Xi Yu asked casually. At this moment, Guo Jia glanced at Xun Yu, then reached out and grabbed Xi Yu and walked a few steps to the side.

It was obvious that Guo Jia didn't want Xun Yu to know what he said.

Although the latter frowned, he understood and did not approach the two of them.

It's just that Xun Yu's expression was a little silent at this time.

He didn't know what Guo Jia wanted to say when he suddenly pulled Fengyi, but on this occasion, he had some bad premonitions in his heart.

Xun Yu's eyes were focused on Bu Yuan Chu, who had already followed Guo Jia to the side of the city gate.

Seeing that Guo Jia was so serious and even Xun Yu couldn't listen to some words, Xi Yu's expression became more serious.

"Fengxiao, what do you want to say?"

Xi Yu didn't understand why Guo Jia suddenly acted like this.

Guo Jia did not hesitate. He raised his head and looked at Xi Yu, and then spoke solemnly.

"Fengyi, I have discussed it with Wen He just now. In fact, the best thing for you this time is to hang up your seal and leave!"

"Xuchang is no longer suitable for you to stay here!"

? ? ?

Xi Yu didn't expect that Guo Jia would suddenly pull him over in front of Xun Yu in order to persuade him to resign and leave Xuchang.

This caught him a little off guard.

From Xi Yu's point of view, the current situation was that someone was making trouble in the city and wanted to take Liu Xie away while he was leaving Xuchang.

In any case, this matter is the most important thing right now.

As for why Guo Jia suggested that he resign and leave, Xi Yu didn't have time to think about it.

Xi Yu frowned and was about to speak when Jia Xu also walked over.

Once here, it's like Guo Jia.

As soon as Xi Yu's eyes fell on Jia Xu, he saw the other person bowing towards him.

"Fengyi, Fengxiao and I agree. In the current situation, you might as well just resign and leave!"

In the eyes of Guo Jia and Jia Xu, Dong Cheng and others wanted to take away the emperor, which had nothing to do with Xi Yu.

Those people who want to take away the Emperor are just afraid of Cao Cao!

And naturally they would not hurt Liu Xie.

Now, Xi Yu agreed to take charge of Xuchang's military affairs. If you think about it carefully, this may be a test by Cao Cao.

The result of the test was that Xiyu came next.

Regardless of how he fell to the ground during this period, Xiyu will eventually be the next military leader in Xuchang.

This situation may be the most fearful thing for Cao Cao, and the entire Cao Cao camp may be afraid of it.

Just as Cao Cao prepared a backup plan, he did not completely believe in Xi Yu, but also prepared to let Liu Bei lead the army to support Xuzhou.

Some things are already obvious.

In Guo Jia's view, since he has made his choice, he might as well go a step further and resign directly from Xuchang.

It would be a good idea to take this opportunity to enter Xuzhou.

Just when Xi Yu asked Dian Wei and others to control the entire four-sided city gate of Xuchang, Xuchang City on the other side.

Dong Chenglian, Yang Biao, Yang Xiu and others had just brought Liu Xielian and Fu Shou out of the Han Palace.

Liu Xie looked a little gloomy.

He naturally understood what Dong Cheng and others meant.

But, is it really so easy to leave Xuchang?

"Mr. Yang, General, it's not that I don't believe you, but do you have complete assurance?"

Liu Xie asked in a deep voice.

If this plan is inseparable from Xuchang City, once Cao Cao comes, I am afraid that he will not be able to take a step outside the palace in the future.

This is not what Liu Xie wants to see.

This time he had just handed the blood letter to Liu Bei, who had just left Xuchang not long ago, so he still had time to wait.

There is absolutely no need to be so anxious now.

But Dong Cheng and others were right.

Xi Yu left Xuchang with his army this time, and Cao Cao has not returned yet. Now the entire Xuchang defense is considered the weakest.

If he could take the opportunity to escape from Cao Cao's control, it would be a good choice for Liu Xie.

only.

For some reason, Liu Xie felt a little unstable after coming out of the palace gate.

His heartbeat couldn't help but accelerate, and it seemed to indicate that something bad was going to happen.

He was a little timid.

However, now seeing Dong Cheng and others guarding him with swords, there were some words that Liu Xie couldn't say.

At this moment, Dong Cheng nodded subconsciously when Liu Xie asked.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Even if I risk my life today, I will send Your Majesty out of Xuchang safely!"

Dong Cheng promised that during his stay in Xuchang, although his power had been suppressed a lot by Cao Cao.

But with his previous methods, he also trained a lot of dead soldiers.

Today is the best time to use these dead soldiers.

Now, he has let these dead soldiers hide all the way from the palace gate to the south gate of Xuchang.

We only need to send His Majesty safely to the south gate of Xuchang, and then we will kill him and get out of Xuchang.

"General, there are Xuchang guards on the south street, blocking the road!"

Someone is blocking the road!

Dong Cheng and others were leading Liu Xie and Fu Shou towards the south gate of Xuchang. Unexpectedly, the spies who would come from ahead suddenly told them that the entire south side of the street had been blocked by Xuchang's guards. .

Today, on the entire Xuchang Street, not even a single merchant or citizen can be seen.

From far away, you can already hear the sound of the orderly military formation advancing.

After this voice came, the expressions of Dong Cheng and others changed in an instant.

Obviously, what they discussed last night has now been leaked.

Otherwise, they had just planned to take His Majesty out of the palace, and the only guards in Xuchang took action.

Liu Xie's face behind him turned a little dark.

He looked straight at Dong Cheng and others, this was your plan, and this is what you did.

The sound of the military formation made Liu Xie feel helpless.

At this moment, he already had the intention of retreating.

He originally thought that Dong Cheng and others could at least take him out of Xuchang City, but he never thought that he would be discovered just after he left the palace gate!

In a situation like this, there is no need to think about what will happen next.

Liu Xie didn't speak, and Fu Shou beside her followed suit, her face looking a little ugly.

From Luoyang to Chang'an, and from Chang'an to Luoyang.

In the past few years, she, the nominal Empress of the Han Dynasty, seemed to have been following Liu Xie back and forth.

The Empress of the Han Dynasty, the existence that so many people once admired, may not even compare to a country woman to her now!

Such a day is not what Fu Shou expected.

Sometimes she even wonders what she would be like now if her father had not let her enter the palace!

Even if you marry someone randomly, it might be better than being in this situation!

Fu Shou's mind was a little wandering.

At this time, Liu Xie already wanted to turn around and return to the palace.

However, Dong Cheng was not afraid of the guards in the city.

He raised the sharp sword in his hand, and someone next to him took out a loud arrow from his arms and shot it into the sky.

This sound of an arrow being shot can be seen from anywhere in the entire Xuchang City.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured. With Cao Cao leading the army, Liu Bei, Xi Yu and others are leading the army. There are not many troops left outside the city. Xun Yu, Xi Yu and others have already left. The army No one can be transferred.”

"Furthermore, there are only a few thousand guards in the entire city now, and there are more than 3,000 dead soldiers buried in the city this time. It will not be a problem to escort His Majesty out of the city!"

Dong Cheng vowed firmly, but Yang Biao and his son beside him did not speak.

Yang Xiu frowned, looking in the direction of Nancheng, wondering what he was thinking.

After Liu Xie heard Dong Cheng's words, his face looked a little better.
