Chapter 23: Get Out!
Although Liu Bei claimed to be King Jing of Zhongshan, the clan relatives of the Han family often talked about Kuang Fu Han, and even through the edict incident, he won Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty to worship him as the emperor's uncle.
However, Liu Xie at this time is no longer the Han Xian Emperor Liu Xie.
He knew that Liu Bei was by no means a benevolent and righteous man, but a complete hypocrisy.
It's very simple, if he really takes it as his responsibility to help the big man, after the outbreak of the edict incident, he should not run away, but fight with Cao ** to the end.
But looking at Liu Bei's performance, Dong Cheng was arrested, and the edict of the clothes and belts had not been completely exposed, so Liu Bei fled as soon as possible and stayed away from Xu Du, for fear of being implicated in the edict incident.
This is called taking Kuang to help the Han as its own responsibility?
The title of the big-eared thief is really fitting to the extreme.
From beginning to end, Liu Bei never thought of supporting the Han royal family, on the contrary, he always wanted to get a piece of the pie in the troubled times, or even replace the Han royal family.
The Great Han is about to become a huge empire in his own hands, I am afraid that Liu Bei will be disappointed, Liu Xie secretly laughed and shook his head.
After clearing out the Jiangdong traitors, Xiang Yu figured out the identity of Zhu Ignorance, and the expression on his face was slightly weird.
There is such a master by the emperor's side, which makes him put away his contempt for the Han royal family, and the previous rebellious spirit has also been somewhat restrained.
Zhu ignored Xiang Yu and guarded one left and one right on both sides of the dragon to escort Liu Xie back to the palace.
As he approached the palace, there was a noisy sound of horses' hooves behind him.
"The last general, Cao Ren, on the orders of the prime minister, has come to clear the Jiangdong rebels and protect the safety of the imperial city."
An army of strong men and horses, holding high the banner, came with great momentum.
Sun Ce and his entourage disguised themselves as envoys and infiltrated the Xu capital, intending to kidnap the emperor, and after the incident, Cao Cao soon received the news.
At first, he was furious, Sun Ce Xiao'er dared to kidnap the emperor from him, and follow his example to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, which clearly did not take him Cao Cao in his eyes, and immediately sent troops to conquer Jiangdong.
Guo Jia, Cheng Yu and other strategists beside him immediately dissuaded him and stopped him.
At this moment, Cao Cao's biggest enemy is Yuan Shao of Jizhou, if he wants to unify the world, he must first unify the north; If you want to unify the north, you must first destroy Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao was born in the famous family of the fourth and third dukes, and occupied Jizhou, and merged the state, with many soldiers and generals, abundant money and food, regardless of momentum and prestige, they all crushed Cao Cao.
Jizhou is adjacent to Cao Cao's territory Qingzhou and Yanzhou, Yuan Shao's son Yuan Tan, is the history of Qingzhou, although Qingzhou is Cao Cao's territory, but once the war starts, Yuan Tan will definitely rebel.
If he didn't make the first move to pacify Yuan Shao, once Yuan Shao took the lead, I am afraid that Cao Cao would be difficult to resist the enemy.
What's more, now that the chess piece is also in flux, there are faint signs of getting out of control, and Cao Cao's situation inevitably seems to be troubled internally and externally.
Although Jiangdong Sun Ce also has a tendency to sit big, after all, he is separated from the north by the Yangtze River, and he will not be able to threaten Cao Cao for a while.
Therefore, Guo Jia offered advice to divide the troops into two lines at the moment, and solve internal and external troubles at the same time.
"As far as his subordinates know, after the edict was exposed, Liu Bei fled to Yuan Tan in Qingzhou for refuge, intending to take refuge in Yuan Shao, and the prime minister could secretly gather troops in Qingzhou in the name of conscripting Liu Bei."
"On the surface, it is to conquer Liu Bei, but in fact, it is to take the opportunity to explore Yuan Shao's reality, and when he is unprepared, he directly captures the base camp of the Yuan family in Jizhou."
Cheng Yu, Xun You, Jia Xu and other strategists expressed their approval of Guo Jia's strategy.
Cao Cao frowned and pondered for a moment, then nodded, "This line is to remove Yuan Shao and solve the external trouble, what about the other line, how should it be deployed?" ”
"My subordinates heard that General Cao Ren was born with brute strength, brave and strategic, and proficient in martial arts, so the prime minister can take advantage of this Jiangdong traitor incident to send General Cao Ren to the palace to firmly control the palace while guarding the emperor's safety."
"Although the emperor has a dragon protection villa, in fact, there is only one iron brave Han Hou, General Cao Ren was born with brute strength, and the martial arts have been greatly improved recently, and the iron brave Han Hou may not be his opponent."
"Even if you can't really be the enemy of that hard-hearted man, as long as you can stalemate the situation, you can send several times the strength of the palace guards to surround the palace from the periphery."
"At that time, it doesn't matter what kind of Dragon Protector Villa he has, what kind of iron courage Hanhou has, it will be useless."
After hearing this, Cheng Yu's eyes suddenly lit up, "This plan is wonderful!" ”
"In fact, to control the palace, you don't need to settle troops, you can directly build a human wall outside, and you can let the Son of Heaven know that it is powerful."
Xun You nodded.
They were all strategists, so they could naturally understand Guo Jia's intentions very quickly.
"General Cao Ren restrains the iron-hearted Hanhou, and the periphery is controlled by a human wall, which is worthy of being a ghost!" Jia Xu praised again and again.
"Okay, let's act according to the plan of filial piety!" Cao Cao was overjoyed.
What internal and external troubles, the enemy is no match for my filial piety strategy!
Cao Ren was urgently ordered to lead ten times the strength of the palace guards and rushed to the palace.
On the surface, it is said that the Jiangdong traitors are cleared, but everyone knows that the Jiangdong traitors have long since disappeared, and they just want to control the palace and continue to hold the Son of Heaven hostage.
"The Jiangdong traitors have been cleared, General Cao Ren is a step slower, and the emperor's safety is guarded by the Dragon Guardian Villa, so the general should go back." Zhu ignored it and frowned, and gave the order to evict the guest.
"The traitors have always been treacherous, and I am afraid that there will be more than one party ambushed nearby, and the last general will be ordered by the prime minister to protect the emperor, so how dare he slacken." Cao Ren didn't mean to retreat, but waved his hand, "Come on, search carefully around the palace, even if you dig three feet into the ground, you will also find out the traces of the traitor for me." ”
"Yes!"
The soldiers behind him responded in unison, and the momentum was quite huge.
"Slow!" Zhu ignored and saw that Cao Ren didn't take him seriously at all, but instead encouraged the soldiers to approach the palace wantonly, and couldn't help but be slightly angry, "Benhou reminded the general that the emperor has an order to get within ten zhang of the city wall, and kill him!" ”
"Ten zhang range? Well, the generals listened to the order, and ten feet and one step away from the palace, camped on the spot to guard the palace. ”
Cao Ren sneered and opened his mouth to order.
The 30,000 fully armed soldiers suddenly scattered in all directions, encircling the palace with iron buckets.
Liu Xie didn't care about it originally, but when he saw this, he glanced at Cao Ren from the dragon, and it turned out that this was Cao Cao's last move.
After canceling Cao Cao's system of proximity and recovering Liangzhou, Liu Xie knew that Cao Cao would definitely be unwilling and would definitely make a move against himself.
Unexpectedly, it was Cao Ren who was sent this time.
Born with brute force, right? Liu Xie saw through Cao Ren's talent at a glance, and hooked the corners of his mouth with interest.
If Cao Ren could see Sun Ce's fate, he would definitely regret it at this moment.
"Cao Ren, are you trying to make trouble?" Zhu ignored that he was really angry at this time, glared at Cao Ren angrily, and his body burst with energy.
dared to make trouble in front of his Dragon Guardian Villa, and he didn't take him into account.
"General Ben is just ordered to protect the emperor, why make trouble? But you are a brave man, who opposes me everywhere, what is your intention? ”
Cao Ren was not afraid of Zhu ignoring it, but instead provoked-for-tat.
Although he saw that Zhu ignored the martial arts cultivation was higher than his own, he had the talent of natural brute strength and had a strength advantage, as long as it was a hard-fought head-on fight, even if he couldn't win the opponent, it was not a big problem to hold the opponent back.
In a word, Zhu ignored and wanted to win against him, and it was not that simple.
"Okay, well, no one has ever dared to provoke the existence of Dragon Guardian Villa, I respect you as the first, you strike first!"
Zhu ignored where he couldn't see the other party's intentions, and his eyes were full of murderous aura.
"If someone else doesn't want to die, get out of the way of me."
"That groom, it's you, hurry up and stay away, don't wait for General Ben's blood to ......"
Cao Ren brandished a long knife, mistaking Xiang Yu, who was dressed in sackcloth, for a horseman and was about to drive away.
"Get out!" Xiang Yu suddenly drank violently, and his tongue bloomed with spring thunder.
Cao Ren was caught off guard, only to feel a thunderbolt explode in his ears on a sunny day, his ears were buzzing, his eyes were full of stars, and he almost fell from his horse.
The soldiers behind him were directly shocked to a large extent, and the people turned on their backs.
