On the third day after Zhang Xiu's surrender, Cao Cao led his troops into Wancheng and joined the Son of Heaven.

"Why is Prime Minister Cao here now?"

"Don't you have any opinions on the matter of Zhang Xiu?"

In the palace, Liu Xie looked at Cao Cao and the others, and asked with a smile, Zhang Xiu stood beside Liu Xie, glaring at Cao Cao and the others.

Under Cao Cao, Cheng Yu, Cao Ren, Xiahou Yuan, Yu Ban and others also looked at Zhang Xiu with resentment.

The grudge between the two sides has reached the point where it cannot be resolved, and this time the enemies meet, if it is not for the fact that the Son of Heaven is in front of them, they will definitely fight again.

"Your Majesty."

Cao Cao calmed down and said, "The minister was sick the day before yesterday, so he was late, please atone for his sins." ”

Cao Cao was indeed sick, and his head hurt so much that he was about to crack, but fortunately, the military doctor's excellent medical skills alleviated Cao Cao's condition.

But in this battle of Wancheng, the 40,000 soldiers who were killed and injured were irreparable pain in Cao Cao's heart.

"Prime Minister Cao Cheng said it was funny, how could I blame you?"

Liu Xie said with a smile: "I am preparing to attack Li Dao, and I still need the help of the prime minister." ”

"Huh."

Cao Cao smiled bitterly, looked at Zhang Xiu, and said, "Your Majesty, the minister lost troops this time, and his combat strength is less than one-ten-thousandth of General Zhang's. ”

"General Zhang is Zhang Ji's nephew, and he is familiar with Li Ji's armaments, so you might as well let him fight, and he will definitely succeed."

As long as he is not stupid, anyone can hear the resentment towards Zhang Xiu in Cao Cao's tone.

Zhang Xiu was not to be outdone, slapped the table, and shouted: "The surname Cao, you are less yin and yang here, are our army casualties less than yours?" ”

"At present, there are only less than 20,000 old and weak soldiers under my command, and I still want to share my worries for Your Majesty, and you still have 60,000 or 70,000 troops under your command, so you are here to resign, what are your intentions?"

"General Zhang, do you really want to share your Majesty's worries?"

Cao Cao snorted coldly and said, "Don't forget, your uncle Zhang Ji was originally Li Ji's comrade, and you only took refuge in Your Majesty when you were cornered." ”

After that, Cao Cao bowed to Liu Xie and continued: "Your Majesty, Zhang Xiu has rebelled, and his heart is unpredictable, I suggest that he be killed and then take away his military power." ”

"The surname Cao, I originally surrendered to you, but what did you do? Bullied my aunt's head, and blamed me for surrendering and rebelling?! ”

Zhang Xiu jumped like thunder, and as soon as these words came out, Cao Cao's face became more and more ugly.

Everyone knows that Zhang Xiu's rebellion was caused by Cao Cao's lust, but when he said it in public, how could Cao Cao's face exist?

"Khooth!"

Cao Ren, Xiahou Yuan and other clan generals drew their swords and shouted to Zhang Xiu: "Zhang Xiu'er, your grandfathers haven't fought enough, dare to fight again!" ”

"Why don't you dare!"

Zhang Xiu held a spear in his hand, and Hu Che'er held Dian Wei's double halberd, glaring at him angrily.

On the one hand, there is the humiliation of bullying the aunt, and on the other hand, there is a deep hatred in the sea of blood, seeing the tension on both sides, the scene cannot be cleaned up.

Liu Xie slapped the table and shouted, "What are you doing, when I am here in the vegetable market?" ”

"If you use force in front of Your Majesty, do you want to rebel?"

Jia Xu said coldly.

"Mr. Jia is right, I was abrupt."

Zhang Xiu put away his spear, anyway, his revenge has already been avenged, there is no need to talk to Cao Cao again. Dead knock.

As for whether Cao Cao dares to take revenge on himself in front of the Son of Heaven, it depends on his courage.

"How many of you still don't put away your weapons?"

Jia Xu looked at Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan again.

"Hmph."

In desperation, Cao Ren and the others could only give up.

"Prime Minister Cao, I was not interested in the matter between you and Zhang Xiu in the past, but I hope that in the future, you and Zhang Xiu will be officials in the same dynasty and can assist me together."

"What do you think?"

Liu Xie asked Cao Cao.

"Of course, the minister and Zhang Xiu are just personal grievances, and public affairs are important, how can the minister abolish the public because of private affairs?"

Cao Cao laughed and said, in fact, he couldn't wait to rush up and fight with Zhang Xiu immediately, causing Dian Wei, Cao Xiu, and Shi Jian to die in battle, and Xiahou and Cao Chun to be deposed.

But Cao Cao couldn't go against the Son of Heaven, so he could only use laughter to hide the true emotions in his heart.

"Okay, let's rest for a few days and then set off for Chang'an."

Liu Xie said with a smile, attacking Chang'an, in fact, does not require Cao Cao to go out, and his current strength no longer poses any threat to himself.

Now on his side, there are 30,000 Wei soldiers of Gao Shun and Cao Xing, 20,000 infantry cavalry of Zhang Liao, plus 20,000 soldiers and horses under Zhang Xiu, a total of 70,000 people, and it is not difficult to take Chang'an.

Since the last battle of Hongnong, Li Dao and Guo Yan were defeated and returned to Chang'an, although there was no Son of Heaven to fight, but the two warlords did not change their nature, and they fought around Chang'an City for several days.

In the end, Guo Yan was defeated, fled to the mountains, and was killed by his subordinates.

Today's Chang'an City only needs to deal with Li Dao alone.

After resting, Liu Xie prepared to take the army and set off towards Chang'an.

When he walked to the territory of Luoyang, a group of soldiers and horses in front of him stood in front of the army. 、

"Who is coming, dare to stop the army of the Son of Heaven!"

Zhang Xiu opened the way in front and asked directly at the other party.

"General Zhang, it's me."

In the opposing army, a middle-aged military general walked out, wearing a purple and gold crown with three-pronged hair, holding a Fang Tian painting halberd, and straddling the red rabbit BMW, it was Lu Bu himself.

"Lu Bu, why are you here?"

Zhang Xiu was stunned, in the past, he followed his uncle Zhang Ji and Li Dao to counterattack Chang'an, and since then he has made a feud with Lu Bu, and when they meet again, Zhang Xiu was directly stunned.

He knew that Lu Bu had surrendered to the Son of Heaven, but he didn't know what he was doing here.

"General Zhang, I heard that Your Majesty is marching west to Li Dao, and I am waiting for Your Majesty here."

Lu Buce immediately stepped forward and said, "Please General Zhang lead the way, I want to see Your Majesty." ”

"Lu Bu?"

Hearing this news, Liu Xie was very curious, he had only left Xu Capital for a few days, but he didn't expect that Lu Bu would hear the news so soon.

"Xu Du has no place for Lu Bu to show his strengths, he must have come here this time to fish in troubled waters."

Jia Xu hit the nail on the head.

"Okay, as long as you're not here to make trouble."

After all, Lu Bu was his father-in-law, so he couldn't see it, and it was not easy to reprimand him for going out without authorization, so he announced that he would meet him.

"Wen Hou is really my minister, knowing that I am attacking Li Dao, so I sent troops to help."

Liu Xie said with a smile, and then asked, "How many people did Wen Hou send to help me this time?" ”

"I'm ashamed that the minister was in a hurry, and he only brought 10,000 people."

Lu Bu sighed.

"10,000 people?"

Liu Xie was also stunned, Lu Bu only brought 10,000 soldiers, and there were not as many people as Zhang Xiu's subordinates, how could he rob military merits and fish in troubled waters?

"Your Majesty, the 10,000 ministers are not for war, but want to give Your Majesty a big gift."

Lu Bu said.

"What gift?"

Liu Xieqi didn't know what he wanted to do.

"Your Majesty, now in the land of Guanzhong, the people's livelihood is withering, and there is not one in ten people, even if Chang'an is captured, the capital will not be determined in a short time."

"On the contrary, Luoyang was the capital of my Han Dynasty before that, and Sili was not destroyed like Guanzhong."

Before Lu Bu's words were finished, Liu Xie asked, "What does Wen Hou mean?" ”

"Even if Your Majesty recovers Chang'an, you will not be able to settle down, and the ministers will lead people to build Luoyang City here, so that Your Majesty can set the capital in the future."

After Lu Bu finished speaking, everyone was stunned.

"You want to build Luoyang City?"

Liu Xie was even more surprised.
