Cao Cao didn't know what Liu Xie had summoned him to the palace, but Liu Xie was now the emperor, and no matter how authoritarian he was, Cao Cao didn't dare not accept Liu Xie's call in front of everyone.

"Please reply to Your Majesty, Lone will be here soon!" Cao Cao said.

Before the little eunuch came, he guessed that Cao Cao would refuse, but who would have thought that Cao Cao would agree so happily, which made the little eunuch overjoyed, and immediately said with gratitude: "The villain will go back and report to Your Majesty!" ”

The little eunuch left satisfied.

"It's all gone! Lone wants to go to the palace. Cao Cao also had an excuse to drive all his subordinates back, after all, he wanted to attack and meet Liu Xie, and he couldn't let these people stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

It's just that what Cao Cao didn't expect was that even though he ordered Guo Jia and them to go back, Guo Jia and the others insisted on waiting for Cao Cao in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"If you want to stay here, stay here! Lone won't change his mind! Cao Cao knew that these people would not give up, and he was not ambiguous, so he went directly out of the Prime Minister's Mansion and left Guo Jia and them aside.

Before Cao Cao entered the palace, he had been pondering what Liu Xie would do today. I thought it should be related to Xiaopei's matter.

Not long after, Cao Cao came to Liu Xie's dormitory.

The guards of the Shouchun Palace have been completely controlled by Wang Yue's master and apprentice, and the palace is Liu Xie's world, as long as Liu Xie gives an order, Cao Cao can't get out of the palace alive.

Cao Cao had the right to praise and worship without a name, and the guards of the palace did not stop his advance.

And Liu Xie waited in the dormitory for a long time.

"Minister Cao Mengde greets Your Majesty!" Cao Cao saluted respectfully.

"The prime minister doesn't have to be polite, give a seat." Liu Xie didn't have any expression, and lightly pointed to a position under his head for Cao Cao to sit.

After Cao Cao sat down, he asked, "I wonder what Your Majesty has ordered when he summoned his ministers?" ”

"Prime Minister, I heard that Xiao Pei has fallen." Liu Xie asked.

"The minister is just discussing with his subordinates." Cao Cao answered Liu Xie's question from the side.

Liu Xie waved his hand and asked all the palace maids and eunuchs to leave.

All the subordinates left, and Liu Xie said lightly: "Prime Minister, can I ask you for one thing." ”

Cao Cao didn't expect Liu Association to speak like this, and said in surprise: "The minister doesn't dare!" ”

"Prime Minister, I know your loyalty to the Great Han. Ever since I left Luoyang, I have been under your protection. I want to ask you one thing today, I now have a son and a daughter, they are all ignorant and ignorant children, if there is a case, I hope that the prime minister can protect them well, so that they can have a stable life, and no longer be in the royal family. Liu Xie said something that worried Cao Cao.

There are many disciples and grandchildren of Wang Yue beside Liu Xie, so they can naturally inquire about Xiao Pei's loss. Liu Xie was able to understand the chain reaction after Xiaopei's loss, and Yanzhou was no longer under Cao Cao's control. Once Yanzhou was captured by Liu Yu, the next thing was to go south. At that time, he Liu Xie will have no way out. He didn't dare to expect the princes like Sun Ce and Liu Biao to accept him. Because the loyalty of these people is not as high as Cao Cao's.

Once Liu Yu's army was in Shouchun, Liu Xie had no other way. As the only emperor of the Han Dynasty, if Liu Yu does not kill him, Liu Yu's subordinates will also clear the hidden dangers for their majesty.

Liu Xie himself doesn't care about life and death, but his own bloodline is innocent, so Liu Xie can only ask Cao Cao. Only Cao Cao will take care of Liu Xie's wife and children.

Cao Cao didn't dare to agree, shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, if that time comes, I'm afraid that the ministers will not have the ability to protect themselves, and the ministers will really not be able to cope with this heavy burden." ”

"I know it's hard for a strong man. The Imperial Brother may not be unfavorable to them. But his subordinates did not scruple about it. I don't want my children to become the flesh of others. Liu Xie pleaded.

"Your Majesty, the situation has not yet reached that point, and it is too early to say this." Cao Cao told the truth.

"I live in the palace, but I also know the situation in the world. I, the emperor, have reached their final days. Liu Xie sighed.

Cao Cao got up and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has taken his leave first!" ”

"The prime minister is busy with state affairs, please take care of yourself." Liu Xie will not force Cao Cao to stay.

Cao Cao walked out of the dormitory and made a decision in his heart.

Liu Xie looked at Cao Cao's back from afar and sighed: "If I hadn't left Luoyang, maybe there wouldn't have been so much trouble." ”

"It's just that I also know that only you, Cao Mengde and the imperial brother, will care about my life and death. I know that. Liu Xie turned around and walked towards other places.

Cao Cao returned to his prime minister's mansion, and his men were still waiting for him in the council hall.

Cao Cao returned to his place without saying a word, sitting there with his eyes closed and not saying a word.

Guo Jia and the others all looked at each other, such a posture was a bit abnormal, and they didn't know why Cao Cao was like this.

Just as they were about to step forward to speak, Cao Cao opened his mouth and said, "You just agreed. ”

Guo Jia and the others were overjoyed, but they didn't expect Cao Cao to change his mind after going to the palace.

Xun Yu's heart tightened, it must have been something Liu Xie said to Cao Cao in the palace, otherwise Cao Cao would not have decided so happily.

"The lord is wise!" And they all bowed down and bowed.

"What to do, Feng Xiao Zhongde is in charge of the two of you, and the two of you are responsible for everything in Yanzhou, so you can't ask. But there is one thing, if something goes wrong, Lone will never let you go! Cao Cao shouted with a fierce look on his face.

Guo Jia and Cheng Yu had sweat on their heads, as the main person in charge designated by Cao Cao, Cao Cao's domineering made them a little unbearable.

"That's it! It's all gone! Cao Cao waved his hand to drive people away.

This time, there was no need for Cao Cao's orders, Guo Jia and the others immediately flashed, and they all knew that Cao Cao was in a very unhappy mood now, and they must not be remembered by Cao Cao.

Only Xun Yu glanced at Cao Cao with a little pity, and Cao Cao happened to look at him.

Cao Cao felt Xun Yu's eyes and nodded to indicate that he was fine.

Xun Yu sighed, he knew that Cao Cao made this decision for Liu Xie.

After everyone left, Cao Cao held his forehead in contemplation.

"Is it right or wrong to do this?" Cao Cao kept thinking about it in his heart.

"Your Majesty, although the minister is a powerful minister, the minister will always be a Han minister. Maybe this time it's a decision made by the minister because of you. That's all the minister can do. Cao Cao said silently to Liu Xie in his heart.

Liu Xie in the palace seemed to feel Cao Cao's intentions, and his heart felt sad for no reason.

Guo Jia and Cheng Yu quickly drew up a plan, and after many discussions, the plan was conveyed to Yanzhou and handed over to all the Cao generals in Yanzhou.
