Chapter 13: Late Night Talk

Listening to Liu Xie's words, the flesh and skin on Cao Cao's face moved reluctantly, and he said in his heart This Guan Yu, I almost knelt down and begged him to help me, you sit here, the left sentence is beheaded, and the right sentence is killed, it is really a bit of a lack of success and more than failure.

The change in Cao Cao's micro-expression was naturally seen by Liu Xie, but he was not afraid, because what he wanted was such an effect, if he was wise and foolish, if he was dim, it would be fine, anyway, the result would be right.

"Since this is the case, the minister thinks that Guan Yu can be canonized as my Han general in the name of His Majesty, so it is reasonable to use him and the minister to go to crusade against Yuan Shao."

Cao Cao also thought about it for a long time last night after exercising, Guan Yu did have a temper, although he first used the name of Hanchen to stabilize him, but it is almost impossible to let him immediately serve his life under his command like Xu Chu and them, for such talents, it is really either like Guo Jia said, kill the matter, avoid the embarrassing situation of becoming an enemy again in the future, or you can't be in a hurry, just cultivate your feelings a little bit.

Cao Cao thought he was still good at cultivating feelings, so he decided last night that Guan Yu would not follow Guo Jia's advice for the time being.

The official position of general is also the first step in the relationship between Cao Cao and Guan Yu, of course, the official position cannot be sealed by himself, and Liu Xie has to come, which is not only reasonable, but also makes Guan Yu, who claims to be a Hanchen, unable to refuse.

"According to Sikong's words, tomorrow in the court, I will personally canonize Guan Yu!"

Although Liu Xie has often spoken surprisingly recently, he has no objection to Cao Cao's opinions on the whole, which is the result of Cao Cao's attention, according to the analysis of Cheng Yu and others, Liu Xie may have been almost cheated by Dong Cheng before, and there have been some fluctuations in his mentality.

After all, since Dong Cheng was imprisoned, his daughter is almost equivalent to letting Liu Xie put herself in the cold palace, completely ignoring her being pregnant.

In Cao Cao's opinion, the reason why Liu Xie did this is, in the final analysis, because he was afraid of himself, and he was afraid that Dong Cheng's bloody edict would really be pressed on him, which is very normal, because although he is sitting on the throne now, the helmsman of the Han Dynasty is himself.

After deciding to canonize Guan Yu, Cao Cao did not raise the matter of the war between the soldiers and Yuan Shao, and Liu Xie did not ask about it.

Late at night, in Liu Xie's bedroom, he was casually wearing a nightgown, in front of him was a pot of warm wine, and there were several good dishes next to the wine pot.

The queen was rarely absent from Liu Xie's bedroom, and what was hidden opposite him was a person dressed as an attendant, with his hair in a somewhat disheveled bun, covering his face.

There was also a person sitting next to the gate of the dormitory, who was sweating profusely, he was very nervous, his ears were close to the dormitory, obviously listening to the movement outside.

Because it was late at night, the palace maids and eunuchs who monitored Liu Xie on weekdays also went to sleep, after all, Liu Xie has been here for several years, and there has been nothing abnormal, no one can listen to the corner of the wall every day, right? Besides, that voice every night, whether you are a teenage palace maid or a eunuch, it is quite uncomfortable to listen to it, so most of them will not make themselves uncomfortable in the second half of the night in the past two years.

"Your Majesty, according to what you said in your previous letter, the minister returned from Yuzhang and never returned to the mansion, but directly found the auxiliary general and came to Your Majesty."

Sitting opposite Liu Xie was Zhang Hong, who had just returned to Xuchang.

Liu Xie made it clear in his letter to him that after seeing Sun Ce, he returned to Xuchang, and he did not return to the house as soon as possible, but asked Fu Wan to come to see him first.

As for how to ensure concealment in this process, Liu Xie believed that Zhang Hong's rich experience in struggle would not be a big deal.

Sure enough, Zhang Hong pretended to be a guard who finished Fu and entered the palace smoothly late at night, on the grounds that Fu Shou had an emergency, and in order to cooperate, Fu Shou is still lying in his bedroom.

Compared with the sweating profusely after the ambush, Zhang Hongdid in front of Liu Xie, calm and relaxed, he obviously lacked a lot of oil and water in his stomach after a long journey, sitting in front of Liu Xie, taking a sip of wine and meat, and eating fragrantly.

Liu Xie just watched Zhang Hong finish eating, except for a few sips of wine, he almost didn't move, which was not the same as his usual image.

After writing to Sun Ce, Liu Xie did think carefully about what kind of image he should be in the face of people from the Jiangdong department.

In the end, he decided to put aside his camouflage for the time being and let the people of Jiangdong see his hard power.

Because once Zhang Hong returns with Sun Ce's reply, it is almost a sure thing that he will enter Wu County, and he will never give up because he finds that he is not so mediocre.

Moreover, Liu Xie also analyzed that when he arrived at Sun Ce's territory, if he still looked like the mud couldn't support the wall, Sun Ce would not look down on himself at all, and his status would definitely be worse than Xuchang.

"Since Mr. is back and has come to see me as promised, I think Bo Fu is ready, right?"

Zhang Hong often went to the court during this time in Xuchang, and he naturally knew Liu Xie's performance in the court.

However, from the time he sat here with Liu Xie for so long, to the first sentence that Liu Xie said to him, it made his seemingly calm face and his heart was already turbulent.

'Your Majesty has been deceiving Cao Cao! ’

This is Zhang Hong's first reaction, and this flickering is a few years, which is enough to show that the Han Emperor in front of him, who is less than twenty years old, is not so dim as he looks, he is like a sleeping tiger, just waiting for the opportunity.

Zhang Hong combined Liu Xie's discovery of the edict, Cao Cao's imminent conquest of Yuan Shao, and Liu Xie's arrangement to go back to see Sun Ce for a while, and looked at Liu Xie's gaze became more and more complicated.

He was loyal to Sun Ce, and what would happen if he brought Liu Xie back to Wu County this time, he really couldn't predict it at this moment.

But for Sun Ce, Liu Xie, the stepping stone to the Central Plains, is indispensable.

Thinking of this, Zhang Hong nodded and said softly: "Your Majesty, the situation in Jiangdong is much more stable than in the Central Plains, and Bo Fu has already pacified some rebellious ministers, and at this moment he should have arrived in Wu County, waiting for His Majesty to move the capital." ”

Although this result has long been in Liu Xie's heart, but Zhang Hong came to such a final word, Liu Xie was still relieved in his heart, although not many people know about this matter, but once it fails, there is no impermeable wall in the world.
