On the way back to Jizhou, Yuan Shao happened to meet Tai Shici, who came to support Zhou Yu.

At that time, both sides had been on the road for a long time, and the difference was that Tai Shici was encouraged by Shen Xian, and he came to make contributions with great enthusiasm and enthusiasm; And Yuan Shao was first troubled by the news that Shen Xian occupied Chang'an, and then angered by the fact that his subordinates surrendered en masse, coupled with Zhou Yu and Cao Cao chasing and fighting behind the fart, causing the whole army to be shrouded in a gloomy shadow.

Such a comparison makes a judgment.

After seeing the word "Yuan" written on the flag waving in the wind, Tai Shici was suddenly shocked, as if he had seen a cat with a mouse, and immediately led the forward to rush out, and after rushing for a while, he successfully bit Yuan Shao's last team and scattered it.

At the beginning, Yuan Shao didn't plan to fight back, he was also sleepy, and he just wanted to cross the Yellow River quickly. As long as the river is crossed, it is Yuan Shao's own territory, it will be much safer, there is no need to run in a hurry, and then Yuan Shao will join Chun Yuqiong who stayed in Jizhou, whether it is to counterattack or retreat, it can be handled flexibly depending on the situation, and it will not be as passive as now.

However, Tai Shi Ci chased after him too presumptuously, and the ruthlessness that did not let go was like a vicious wolf that smelled blood, Yuan Shao was rushed by Tai Shi Ci, and he was angry all of a sudden, thinking that Lao Tzu was too lazy to take care of you, almost enough, if you have to fight, then give you some color to see.

So Yuan Shao turned around, the back team changed to the front team, and he fought with Tai Shici's striker.

Because it was only the vanguard force, there were not many people led by Tai Shici, and the unexpected charge was very effective, but once it fell into a bitter battle, it was easy to be dumped by Yuan Shao's army. Fortunately, the large army led by Zhang Liao finally came before Tai Shici was completely wiped out, the two sides of the army united, launched a charge, and fought on the side of the Yellow River for a whole afternoon, and finally it was almost dark, and the two sides were able to withdraw their troops and temporarily set up camp, eyeing each other.

No one won this battle, and the two sides were tied, with casualties, but from a long-term perspective, Tai Shici won a little bit, because he successfully dragged Yuan Shao across the river and trapped him in Yanzhou, just waiting for Zhou Yu and Cao Cao to catch up.

In the evening of the next day, the vanguard led by Cao Cao and Zhou Yu met the people sent by Tai Shici to meet them.

"How's the battle going?" Zhou Yu didn't talk nonsense and asked the most important thing directly.

"General Taishi led the vanguard of 2,000 people to attack Yuan Benchu's large army, and later Yuan Benchu came back to help, and our army reinforcements also arrived in time, and fought fiercely in Guandu Port for an afternoon, winning or losing...... Is it a tie? The scout looked at his face tenderly, he should have just joined the army, and he was very shy in the face of Zhou Yu, but he spoke quite methodically, and everything that should be explained was clear.

"Tie?" Zhou Yu smiled: "You will excuse your general, he led two thousand people to charge into battle, and almost wiped out the family, right?" ”

The scout wasn't sure if Zhou Yu was angry, so he had to laugh and not speak.

"Let's go first, we'll talk about it when we see him." Zhou Yu shook his head: "Fortunately, the follow-up troops kept up quickly...... Who commands the army? ”

"General Zhang Wenyuan," the scout scratched his head and said with a smile: "The lord said that General Zhang is calm and can be of great use, just complementary to General Taishi." ”

There was a flash of surprise in Cao Cao's eyes, Zhang Liao was his subordinate, and Shen Xian was so relieved to hand over the command of the reinforcements?

"You've got a deft mouth." Zhou Yu did not comment on Shen Xian's words, but praised the scout.

"Let's go to the convergence first," Zhou Yu looked at Cao Cao: "How about letting Brother Meng De be the pioneer this time?" ”

Cao Cao nodded seriously: "Then don't shirk." ”

Perhaps it was a coincidence that Tai Shici and Yuan Shao set up camp in Guandu after the fight. Returning to his defeated position again, Cao Cao felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

When Zhou Yu and Cao Cao pressed Yuan Shao to Guandu and couldn't leave, Shen Xian was fighting with the Manchu civil and military forces in Chang'an City.

Liu Xie died too suddenly, the child in Dong Guiren's belly was just pregnant, and he didn't know if it was a man or a woman, and even if she could give birth immediately, what could the baby do when she ascended the throne? can only sell cute.

Adults have to do the work.

So after Liu Xie was buried in the imperial mausoleum, Yang Biao read out Liu Xie's edict in front of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military personnel.

Shen Xian and Diao Chan tried so many times but failed to steal Liu Xie's edict back, and finally gave up altogether. No matter how Yang Biao declares the decree, Shen Xian doesn't obey it, and the throne is not like something else, this kind of position that everyone wants to get, there are many means to make a fuss.

The content of the edict read out by Yang Biao does have the point that "Dong Guiren's child will be crowned king after birth", but he did not mention whether he could inherit the throne in the future.

Regarding the candidate for the next emperor, there is only one sentence in the edict, which is written at the end, to the effect that Liu Xie has passed the throne to his sister Shen Xian, and I hope that your sister will continue to work hard.

Keep working on what? Trying to bring down the Han Dynasty and open up a new world?

Shen Xian, who was standing at the head of the hundred officials, lowered her head and lowered her hands to pose with a calm and sad look, as if she was mourning for her younger brother who died young, but in fact, she carried everyone behind her back and yawned openly at Yang Biao.

Yesterday I slept a little late and was sleepy.

Yang Biao pretended not to see Shen Xian's disrespectful look, he calmly announced his will and handed the holy decree to Shen Xian.

Shen Xian regained her superb acting skills that had not been used for many years, and took out the skills that had deceived Yuan Shu, she took a deep breath, tried to burst out a string of tears, and refused to accept the order with a choked voice: "How can I take on this great responsibility?" This matter should not be brought up again. ”

Yang Biao: ......

Yang Biao thought that Shen Xian would refuse to ascend the throne - that's for sure, Chan Rang would have to refuse three or four times, if he accepted the order directly, wouldn't this monkey's anxious attitude expose the dark thoughts in his heart?

But Yang Biao didn't expect Shen Xian to be so good at acting, she cried in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, crying like her own mother had died, if it weren't for the fact that everyone had been collectively arrested by Shen Xian into the palace for "protection", and had seen Shen Xian's evil true face, she was almost deceived by her.

In the end, Shen Xian cried so much that she couldn't say anything, and she turned over and over again in her mouth with one meaning: The auxiliary government is no problem, don't talk about it when you ascend the throne! When my nephew/niece is born, I will put him on the throne, everyone is fine, don't beat my idea, or I'm going to be unkind.

After conveying her meaning, Shen Xian rolled her eyes and directly "cried and fainted", and was firmly held in her arms by Diao Chan, who had long been hidden by others, and politely retired.

At first, the civil and military officials were worried that Shen Xian was such a cruel person, if he became the emperor, wouldn't the world be in chaos, but later saw that Shen Xian refused so firmly, they were unhappy again, and felt that Shen Xian was really not a lift, and said in their hearts that if you let you be it, you should hurry up, and if you have to push three obstacles and pretend to be something, in the end, it is really hypocritical to have to twist and pinch the succession.

Only Yang Biao saw through Shen Xian's essence, she was not pretending to be forced at all, nor was she hypocritical, she really didn't want to take over the big man's rags.

If you talk like this again, beware of Taiwei Liu being angry, and see who you are looking for to cry. Yang Biao, who was surrounded by ministers complaining about his grievances, nodded calmly on the surface and listened, but he was laughing in his heart.

At this time, someone proposed: "Besides that person, aren't there still the children of the clan who are outcast?" Will you come back one after another? ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone cared for him with idiot eyes.

"Okay," a very old man smoothed his long beard, "Lord Wang, you will pick it up?" ”

Lord Wang was dumbfounded.

"Let's do it first, what the princess said is right," Yang Biao saw that the situation was almost over, and came out to the mud: "The east is still fighting." ”

"Yang Sikong's words are not right," someone objected: "It is precisely because of Yuan's original wolf ambition that the princess should hurry up to the throne, so as to deter the Yuan family." ”

"Then persuade the princess again," Yang Biao did not refute, he said lightly: "I hope Lord Li will succeed." ”

Diao Chan helplessly looked down at Shen Xian, who was lying in her arms and did not move: "Lord, it's okay, no one is watching." ”

"I don't want to move," Shen Xian curled the corners of her mouth: "You have to kiss Chanchan to get up." ”

Diao: ......

Diao Chan blushed.

"Lord, please pay attention to your image," Jia Xu walked over with a dark face: "Pull and pull, what kind of system." ”

"I didn't pull you again," Shen Xian rolled her eyes, she took a step back by pressing Diao Chan's shoulder, and looked at Jia Xu: "Is there anything wrong with you coming over?" ”

Jia Xu came alone, and he didn't follow Sima Yi and Fu Zhu by his side, which made Shen Xian a little surprised.

"Where's your two little henchmen?" Shen Xian quipped.

Jia Xu snorted slightly: "Forget Zhongda, I don't dare to be a public or a follower." ”

The two chatted as they walked, Diao Chan followed behind Shen Xian, occasionally exchanging a meaningful look with Jia Xu. Shen Xian chatted and felt that something was wrong, she turned to look at Diao Chan suddenly: "What are you two doing?" ”

Diao Chan: "...... Lord, I still have some business, so I'll take my leave first. ”

"Come back," Shen Xian pouted, "It seems like I'm a wicked person...... Forget it, what is the matter with Wen and you looking for me? ”

At this time, the three of them walked outside a side hall, Diao Chan didn't wait for Jia Xu to speak, he took the initiative to step aside, and ordered his subordinates to clear the scene, so that people who shouldn't hear the conversation were far away.

After receiving Diao Chan's gaze that no one was eavesdropping, Jia Xu said very simply: "I heard that the lord has rejected the ...... on the edict."

Before Jia Xu finished speaking, he gestured to indicate that everyone understood.

Shen Xian thought that Jia Xu was here to resist, so she nodded vigilantly. Unexpectedly, as soon as he admitted it, he heard Jia Xu clapping his hands: "Okay! ”

Shen Xian: ......

"You push it twice," Jia Xu squinted his eyes like an old fox: "Don't be in too much of a hurry." ”

Shen Xian shook her head: "...... Ask me a few more times and I'll still have one word, no. ”

Listening to Shen Xian's words, Jia Xu's expression became serious, he pondered for a while, and suddenly asked, "Lord, what was your purpose in raising troops in the first place?" ”

Shen Xian was stunned.

"My lord," as if he had made up his mind, Jia Xu said in a low voice: "Do you think that the emperor is ...... Not worth it? ”

Of course it's not worth it, Shen Xian thinks about it, and doesn't quite understand Liu Xie's thoughts, why don't you have the courage to continue living if you have the courage to commit suicide? Don't even care about death, are you afraid of anything else?

"In my opinion, your behavior is similar to the behavior of the previous emperor," Jia Xu was very calm on his face: "It's just vindictive." ”

Shen Xian's face changed.

"Xingba said that you fooled him at the beginning, but the reason was very heroic."

Jia Xu looked at Shen Xian with a smile: "I want to be in the world-"

"Shut up!" Shen Xian interrupted Jia Xu's words, her face was a little red, and she didn't know if she was shy or angry.

"I think what you said is very good," Jia Xu said lightly: "People must always have a goal, either lofty or ordinary, there is nothing funny, everyone's ideals are worthy of respect." ”

"My lord, what about your ideals?" Jia Xu's gaze crossed Shen Xian's shoulder, and he glanced at Diao Chan who was guarding not far away, and they were separated with a touch.

"Ideal," Shen Xian thought hard for a while: "There are three thousand beauties in the harem......

Jia Xu's face darkened.

“…… Don't want any of them," Shen Xian immediately changed her words: "Just Guotai and Min'an." ”

"Really," Shen Xian sighed in the face of Jia Xu's skeptical gaze: "This is my ideal." ”

"I know what you want to say," Shen Xian raised her hand to stop what Jia Xu was about to say, "I'm just vindictive." ”

I don't want to be held in the palm of my hand by the family after reunification, and I don't want to be calculated by Liu Xie and Yang Biao, and I can't get out of the mess once I step into it.

"Who doesn't want to have an easy time?" Shen Xian said: "But think about it in another direction, even if he calculates me now, I won't let him succeed." ”

"I know," Shen Xian smiled slowly: "I'll push it a few more times." ”

After Shen Xian finished speaking, she refused Diao Chan's follow, waved her hand and left in the other direction, Jia Xu watched her back get farther and farther away, and finally disappeared at the corner of the palace wall, and then sighed very lightly.

Diao Chan walked to Jia Xu's side with light steps: "Do you have a way?" ”

"Yes," Jia Xu nodded, "But it will take a long time." ”

"The lord knows what to do," Jia Xu said, "Guo Fengxiao must have told her that this time I was too talkative." ”

Diao Chan looked at Jia Xu deeply: "But you never talk much." ”

Jia Xu snorted slightly: "Everyone is confused sometimes." ”
