Chapter 26: The Last Play

Liu Xie's reaction, whether it was the officials in the court or Xun Yu, did not feel that there was anything wrong, Cao Cao said something to Liu Xie, once Cao Cao was defeated, Liu Xie in Yuan Shao's hands not only could not keep his throne, but even his own life was enough.

So no matter what, as long as Cao Cao can defeat Yuan Shao, Liu Xie will have to thank Cao Cao.

"Your Majesty, this victory, Sikong still can't take it lightly, the siege of the White Horse is lifted, it can only be said that it is a blow to the morale of Yuan Shao's army, and the subsequent war, Sikong still needs to strategize on the front line, and when Sikong really defeats Yuan Shao, the minister will definitely take His Majesty to the city gate to greet him!"

"In this way, I want to personally repair a book and give Sikong a help!"

Seeing that Liu Xie was so attentive to this battle, Xun Yu was also quite pleased.

Xun Yu was originally a strategist under Cao Cao, and he was still quite prestigious among many strategists, but after bringing Liu Xie back to Xuchang, Xun Yu's mentality gradually changed slightly, he knew that Cao Cao must have replaced him in his heart, but he still wanted to be his own Hanchen.

He didn't expect that Liu Xie's happiness was indeed real, but it was not because Cao Cao had won the battle, but because the opportunity he had been waiting for had finally come.

On the same day, the first thing Liu Xie did when he returned to his palace was to write a letter to Cao Cao, in which he greatly praised Cao Cao, saying that Cao Cao was the hero of the Han Dynasty, and almost the entire Han Dynasty was saved in danger, and no one could catch up with his exploits.

After this letter was given to Xun Yu, Liu Xie knew that the opportunity that really belonged to him had come.

From Xun Yu's mouth, Liu Xie almost didn't make much effort to find out that Cao Cao would gather his army in Guandu after relieving the siege of Baima and fight a protracted battle with Yuan Shao.

This is almost exactly the same as what Liu Xie thought before, he understands that Cao Cao will not pay any attention to himself at this time, he does not have that spirit.

This night, Liu Xie did not act rashly, but pondered for half a night in his bedroom.

This is not a short trip, and once he runs away as an emperor, it will be a matter of time before he is discovered, although Cao Cao is not in Xuchang, but once he is found to be leaving, Xun Yu and others will definitely chase after him with all their might, once he is chased back in the middle of the road, needless to say, he knows what the ending is.

Although Zhang Hong had already agreed that he would arrange a good route for him, including a carriage and a guide, it was all available.

And when necessary, Zhang Hong will personally act as a bait to divert the attention of Cao Cao's men in the city, and do his best to buy time for Liu Xie and his party.

However, Liu Xie is not a person who is willing to rely on others, Zhang Hong arranged for him to understand it clearly, what if something goes wrong on the road?

Liu Xie looked at the map of the Han Dynasty hanging on the wall, although the mountains and rivers are almost broken now, but from such a distance between Xuchang and Wu County, there is still more than one way to go.

In addition to Cao Cao's absence in Xuchang, and his attention will not be taken away from the battlefield with Yuan Shao for a while, Liu Xie understands that he also has a small advantage, that is, even if Cao Cao knows about his secret escape, it is impossible for him to go out or chase him with great fanfare, after all, once other princes know, everyone wants to be the next Cao Cao.

In case Yuan Shao knew about it, it would still have an impact on the morale of Cao Jun's battle in Guandu.

Liu Xie really didn't expect to participate in and affect the outcome of the Battle of Guandu, but this idea was given up by him as soon as it appeared.

Although he may have a little impact on the battle situation, but Yuan Shao's victory is not a good thing for him, Yuan Shao has already had the idea of setting up another emperor, once Cao Cao is destroyed, killing Liu Xie's new emperor is almost the first thing he has to do, and Cao Cao has already announced his allegiance to Liu Xie's Han allegiance, so after he wins, it is very unlikely that he will set up a new emperor.

That night, the palace was still very quiet, as usual.

Neither Zhang Hong nor Fu Wan made any moves, because they both knew when the best time was.

They are all waiting for the next court.

If the time difference is played, everyone knows that Liu Xie has just appeared in the court, and leaving immediately after that is the time to minimize his chance of being discovered, if he is lucky, it is likely that he will be found at least a day later, so that when Cao Cao learns about this and makes a move, Liu Xie no longer knows where he will appear.

With the good news of the last time, there are a lot more officials standing in the court, after all, Cao Cao has a bit of an advantage now, in case he really returns from victory and wants to settle accounts after the autumn, no one wants to change from a Han official to a civilian, right?

Xun Yu once again spoke in the court about Cao Jun's various exploits in the battle with Yuan Shao, but Liu Xie understood that the situation was obviously not clear now, and it was the most difficult time when Cao Cao resisted Yuan Shao in Guandu.

Liu Xie also said a lot of good things about Cao Cao in the court as always, what will be triumphant within a month, etc., and finally maintained a character who didn't understand anything in the palace of Xuchang City.

After the court ended this time, Liu Xie and Zhang Hong looked at each other, and everything was speechless.

There is a curfew in the city of Xuchang, especially when Cao Cao fought with Yuan Shao, Cao Cao had already instructed the soldiers guarding the city before leaving, but he was not Liu Xie, but his own officials ran directly to Yuan Shao's command.

After returning to the dormitory, Fu Wan came to Fu Shou as usual, and Liu Xie quickly put on a casual dress in his court clothes, and walked leisurely towards the bedroom of Liu Bei's two ladies.

There were indeed several palace maids and eunuchs in the palace who Cao Cao stayed to watch Liu Xie, but after finishing the meal that morning, they all lost consciousness somehow, and when Liu Xie returned to the palace, only Liu Xie and his own wives were still awake, plus Liu Bei's two wives.

"Your Majesty, do you really want to do this? Zhang Hong didn't arrange it like this at first! ”

As soon as Fu Wan saw Liu Xie, Liu Xie told him his plan, and after Fu Wan listened, the sweat on his head came out all of a sudden.
