"Lu Bu is really ready to send troops against the Xiongnu."

During the march, Liu Xie, who received Lu Bu's letter, felt a little surprised again, and the behavior of a greedy person like Lu Bu was really strange.

Liu Xie looked at Jia Xu and asked, "Lu Bu said in the letter that he wants us to send troops to assist him, Wen He, do you think we have soldiers to help him?" ”

"Lu Bu naturally won't do meaningless things, he attacked the Huns, he must have wanted to take the opportunity to absorb the power of the Huns."

Jia Xu once again broke the sky.

"The Huns will not be used by him, because I refuse the surrender of the Huns."

Liu Xie said faintly, if it was just Lu Bu, he was not very worried, but Lu Bu also had Chen Gong by his side to help, which made Liu Xie not so relieved.

Liu Xie asked again: "Mr. Jia has a good plan." ”

"Your Majesty is not worried about Lu Bu, but Chen Gong."

Jia Xu looked at Liu Xie, in fact, no matter what the outcome of Lu Bu's battle against the Xiongnu was, his side could bear it, and only Chen Gong was the only variable.

After thinking about it for a while, Jia Xu said: "Your Majesty, didn't Lu Bu want to borrow troops, let's let Liu Bei help him." ”

"Liu Bei?"

Hearing this, Liu Xie laughed directly and praised: "Wenhe, your hand is really clever." ”

"Lu Bu and Liu Bei are not on good terms, Zhang Fei is even more eager to stab Lu Bu to death with a spear, and send Liu Bei over, this is not to help him, but to trap him."

"Your Majesty laughed."

Jia Xu said with a smile: "The minister just sees that Liu Bei is fine in Xudu, doesn't he Liu Bei want to gain a firm foothold in the court, let's let him make contributions." ”

"Just let them dog-eat-dog."

Liu Bei immediately asked people to draw up an edict and sent Liu Bei to lead the army to make peace with Lu Bu.

Liu Bei was a smart man and didn't want to miss such a good opportunity, so he agreed to send troops to Hedong with Lu Bu.

Lu Bu was dumbfounded, he thought that the Son of Heaven would send Xu Huang, who stayed in Xu Du, over, but he didn't expect it to be Liu Bei.

However, both of them were heroes, and there was no friction, but they were "deeply emotional" and launched an attack on the Xiongnu in Hedong together.

However, Liu Xie knew that their intimacy was only temporary, and no matter whether the battle went smoothly or not, as time went by, the contradictions between the two would break out sooner or later.

This is also Liu Xie's intention, the two bite each other, which is what he, the emperor, is most happy to see.

Maybe they don't earn it, but they definitely lose blood.

Three days later, Liu Xie took Cao Cao and Zhang Xiu and finally arrived in Chang'an.

Today's Guanzhong area is sparsely populated, and there are not many people to see during the entire march.

On the contrary, the thieves have their own possession.

The cause of this tragic situation is the warlord Li Dao who is now entrenched in Chang'an.

"The white bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles."

Even when he was in Xuzhou, Cao Cao, who was known as the "butcher", couldn't help but sigh when he saw this situation.

"Li Dao was just a lieutenant at first, and although he had some military skills, he didn't know anything about politics."

Jia Xu also took a deep breath, he was the one who persuaded Li Dao, Guo Yan and others to counterattack Chang'an.

And now, he must put an end to this situation himself.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the spies have come to report that Li Dao still has at least 50,000 troops in Chang'an City, and the most elite of them is the Flying Bear Army."

"Although our army has a large number of people, how to capture Chang'an, what do you suggest?"

Liu Xie asked Jia Xu, Zhang Liao, Cao Cao, Zhang Xiu and others.

"Chang'an City is difficult to attack, and there is enough food in the city, so it is not recommended to storm it."

Jia Xu said.

"I don't recommend a strong attack, but I also don't recommend besieging Chang'an, and in the end, it's ordinary people who suffer."

Zhang Liao said.

"The assault can't be successful, the siege can't be won't, and I don't have a very good way."

Zhang Xiu also shook his head.

"Prime Minister Cao, what do you think?"

After the battle of Wancheng, in fact, Liu Xie didn't count on Cao Cao, but now he still wanted to hear Cao Cao's opinion on this battle.

"Li Wei's greatest pursuit is nothing more than power and wealth, and so are the people under him."

"As long as a small number of troops are sent to attack the city, and the treasure is deliberately discarded when fleeing, Li Dao's army will inevitably compete with each other."

"The soldiers under Li Dao's command are 'soldiers' in name, but they are actually thieves."

"Your Majesty's expedition to the west, the conspirator is only Li Dao, as long as he sends a holy decree and forgives the rest of the party, the thief will be broken by our army."

Cao Cao said directly.

"The prime minister's method is indeed feasible."

Jia Xu bowed slightly.

"It is worthy of Prime Minister Cao Cheng, and his resourcefulness and military strategy are really outstanding."

Liu Xie bowed his head slightly and expressed his appreciation to Cao Cao.

So he ordered it to be done.

In the afternoon of the same day, Zhang Liao sent troops to attack the city, and when he retreated, he threw down a large amount of wealth, and the thieves saw things, and all went out of the city to rob, and the generals couldn't stop drinking, and some generals actually went out of the city to pick up the treasures.

In the end, Zhang Liao and the ambushed army came out and beheaded more than 10,000.

On the second day, Zhang Xiu shouted under the city, saying that His Majesty could not plan Li Dao, and that he would forgive all those who surrendered.

Many rebels in the city have fled from the city, and the number is more than 10,000.

was so angry that Li Dao wanted to come out and fight Zhang Xiu alone, but fortunately, the generals stopped him, so that Li Dao did not make a fool.

Within two days, more than 20,000 rebels were killed or trapped, and the combat strength of Li Dao's army was sharply reduced.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Xie ordered Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, and Zhang Xiu to attack the city.

On the other side, Cao Cao and others were cultivating in the rear, but because of their advice, Liu Xie did not let Cao Cao work again.

Anyway, most of his work is not active, and Liu Xie originally didn't count on him.

However, because of the advice, many generals under the account were puzzled by Cao Cao.

"Do you still remember what we greeted the Son of Heaven for?"

Cao Cao asked.

"The Son of Heaven is not subordinate to the order."

Cheng Yu replied.

"Yes, to put it bluntly, it is actually to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes."

Cao Cao sighed and said, "But you have also seen that the Son of Heaven seems to be something we can control?" ”

Everyone was silent, and now, they can no longer treat the Son of Heaven as a child.

The strategy and bravery he displayed were too sophisticated, and for several months, his side had never bargained for the Son of Heaven.

"If this is the case, why should we keep fighting against the Son of Heaven?"

"If I can be a hero in troubled times, I will naturally do it, if I can't do it, it's not bad to be a capable minister."

Speaking of this, Cao Cao sighed and said, "Do you think I said this because I was disheartened? ”

"My lord, as long as the general trend has not completely fallen to the side of the Son of Heaven, we still have a chance."

Cheng Yu said bluntly.

"Yes, we still have a chance, so I'm not going to give up."

"Just ......"

Cao Cao paused and continued: "Even if I don't have a plan, it is not difficult for the Son of Heaven to capture Chang'an. ”

"Don't forget, the Son of Heaven still has Jia Xu, an old fox, by his side."

Jia Xu!

Hearing this name, the crowd hated it.

"If you can get rid of Jia Xu, you can cut off the arm of the Son of Heaven."

Cao Cao said leisurely, those generals under the Son of Heaven, such as Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Zhu Jun and others, he didn't care very much.

Only this Jia Xu sings and harmonizes with the Son of Heaven, which is really difficult to do.

If there was any way to get rid of him, it would be a good thing.
