The news of Wang Can's defeat of Cao Cao soon spread to the city of Chang'an.

In the palace, Liu Xie summoned Dong Cheng, Fu Wan, Chong Shao, Liu Fan, Liu Dan and other important ministers of the court.

After the news of Wang Can's victory over Cao Cao came out, Liu Xie was not the only one who was worried, but also Liu Fan and Liu Dan, both of whom were Liu Yan's sons and had a common enmity with Wang Can. Wang Can defeated Cao Cao and was about to attack Chang'an, this news was like a bolt from the blue for the two, and they were also very worried.

Liu Xie's eyes swept over several important ministers, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, Cao Cao was defeated by Wang Can, and there is no one who can balance Wang Can, the situation is critical, what should I do?" ”

For Liu Xie, the news of Cao Cao's defeat was too abrupt.

At the beginning, Cao Cao and Wang Can were at loggerheads, and the situation was within the acceptable range of Liu Xie.

However, Cao Cao was suddenly defeated by Wang Can, which made it difficult for Liu Xie to accept.

Liu Xie also knew that Cao Cao's failure was because the grain and grass were robbed by Wang Can, and when he learned that this was the reason, he couldn't wait to arrest Cao Cao immediately, and reprimanded Cao Cao with his face, you said that you are also the state pastor in charge of one side, and you didn't even protect your own grain and grass, which made Liu Xie unbearable.

Liu Xie expected Cao Cao and Wang Can to lose, but Wang Can was not affected, putting Liu Xie in a dilemma.

His last straw was lost because of Cao Cao's defeat.

In fact, Liu Xie had summoned Yang Feng and Xu Huang several times, but both of them shirked, which made Liu Xie very indignant. Yang Feng used to pat his chest and say that he was a loyal minister, but at the critical moment, he immediately turned into a turtle with a shrunken head, and he had no intention of meeting Liu Xie at all, so that Liu Xie had nothing to do.

Liu Xie was anxious, and Liu Dan was also worried.

After he heard Liu Xie's words, he immediately stood up, bowed his waist slightly, and said with a straight face: "Your Majesty, Wang Can took Yizhou and imprisoned my brother Liu Zhang. His Majesty is trapped in Chang'an, and he will definitely be controlled by Wang Can, so it is better to escape from Chang'an and go to Luoyang. ”

No matter what, Liu Dan didn't want to see Wang Can control Liu Xie.

Once the imperial court fell into the hands of Wang Can, he and Liu Fan also became fish and meat on Wang Can's chopping board.

After listening to Liu Dan's words, he also stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Liu's words are very reasonable. Wang Can's wolf ambition is already mad, if Wang Can enters Chang'an, he will definitely be like Dong Zhuo, unscrupulous, undisciplined, when the time comes, Your Majesty will never come out, please think twice! ”

Fu Wan would rather believe in Cao Cao than believe in Wang Can.

After all, after Liu Xie's decree came out, Cao Cao accepted it, but Wang Can ignored it and led his troops to Chang'an.

Moreover, Cao Cao led the troops to Chang'an, and it was Liu Xie's edict that led the troops to arrive. Therefore, between Wang Can and Liu Xie, Fu Wan would rather believe in Cao Cao than fall into the hands of Wang Can.

Dong Cheng also stood up and said, "Your Majesty, although Cao Cao is ambitious, he is loyal to the Han family. In the past, Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, Cao Cao assassinated Dong Zhuo, and sent a document to crusade against Dong Zhuo. His Majesty suffered, and Cao Cao raised troops to welcome His Majesty. Such a person, although slightly flawed, is still loyal to His Majesty. Now that Wang Can is fierce and unstoppable, why doesn't Your Majesty leave Chang'an and go to Cao Cao? ”

Liu Dan, Fu Wan and Dong Cheng's suggestion, whether they went to Luoyang or went to Cao Cao, would not stay in Chang'an, nor would they be controlled by Wang Can.

"Alas!"

Liu Xie sighed and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, even if I intend to leave Chang'an, how can I leave without the protection of the soldiers?" ”

"Forehead ......"

When the people heard this, they were immediately dumbfounded.

They were just right, but when they really wanted to act, they didn't have the strength to implement it. If they want to leave Chang'an, they must have Yang Feng's support. Because Yang Feng recruited the Xiliang soldiers under Fan Chou and Zhang Ji, and had already controlled the entire Chang'an, without Yang Feng's nod, Liu Xie could not move an inch.

Liu Fan had a bitter face and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has visited Yang Feng several times, but he has been turned away, and he ...... it. ”

After Liu Fan spoke, the rest of the people also spoke.

More or less, they all went to Yang's mansion to meet Yang Feng, or went to the military camp to meet Xu Huang, wanting to get Yang Feng or Xu Huang's support, but they were all turned away.

After Liu Xie heard this, he gritted his teeth, and then waved his hand and said, "Let's all go out, I think about it carefully." ”

Several people looked at each other, then turned to leave.

In the palace, only Liu Xie was left.

……

Yang's Mansion, in the study.

The battle between Wang Can and Cao Cao affected not only the minds of Liu Xie and the important ministers of the imperial court, but also the minds of Xu Huang and Yang Feng. After the news of Wang Can's victory over Cao Cao reached Chang'an, Xu Huang was the first to come to Yang Feng's mansion.

Xu Huang said: "Lord, Wang Can defeated Cao Cao, what are you going to do?" ”

Yang Feng spread out his hand, with a helpless look on his face, and said, "Wang Can has defeated Cao Cao, things have come to this point, what else can I do?" ”

Yang Feng sighed and said again: "Gongming, you stay in the barracks and don't know about the things in the city. In the past few days, many wealthy gentry have come to the mansion, intentionally or unintentionally persuading me to submit to Wang Can. It can be seen that Wang Can has been prepared! We stayed in Chang'an, although there is still a lot of food in the city, but it is bound to not last long, it is better to open the city and surrender to Wang Can. ”

In his tone, Yang Feng revealed a sense of unwillingness.

After all, he controls Chang'an freely and uncontrollably. Once you submit to Wang Can, the good days will come to an end, and it is impossible to continue to be chic and comfortable, so you can only be restrained.

After Xu Huang heard this, he said loudly: "Lord, for the last general, whether the lord is ready to submit to Wang Can or Cao Cao, the last general is the same. Because the official position of the last general is not big, as long as he can stay in the army. But for the lord, this is different, there is a world of difference between submitting to Wang Can and returning to Cao Cao. ”

When Yang Feng heard this, he was anxious and hurriedly said: "Gongming, if you have something to say, just say it." ”

Xu Huang said that he had nothing to do with him on the surface, but the relationship was very big.

As early as the second time Xu Huang went to Cao Ying on behalf of the Son of Heaven to deliver the decree, Cao Cao had the intention of soliciting him, and valued him very much, so in Xu Huang's heart, he was biased towards Cao Cao.

In troubled times, the monarch chooses the minister, and the minister also chooses the king.

Xu Huang is not Yang Feng, he has his own persistence, his own choices, and his own ideals. Between Wang Can and Cao Cao, Xu Huang also has a clear understanding, although Wang Can has an advantage, but Wang Can has been famous for a long time, his fierce generals are like clouds, and his strategists are like rain, he followed Yang Feng to surrender in the past, and it was difficult to be reused in a short time.

If he had defected to Cao Cao, the situation would have been very different.

As an envoy of the imperial court twice, he knew Cao Cao well and had a certain connection with Cao Cao. Xu Huang has already been valued by Cao Cao, as long as he goes to the past, he can display his talents. As for defecting to Wang Can, the situation is unpredictable.

Xu Huang thinks about himself on the one hand, and Yang Feng on the other hand.

Therefore, after Xu Huang got the news of Wang Can's victory, he hurried to Yang Feng's mansion and persuaded Yang Feng to defect to Cao Cao.
