On the afternoon of February 11, although Xudu under the slanting sun was not prosperous, it was also considered to be stable for pedestrians, and there were no thieves and no soldiers and horses fighting.

Li Xian came to Xun Yu's mansion, and after the doorman entered the report, Xun Yu went out of the door to greet him.

After the courtesy, Xun Yu invited Li Xian into the mansion and knelt down in the hall.

The servant served tea, there was already tea at that time, but ordinary people generally couldn't drink it, and of course a nobleman like Xun Yu was fine.

Li Xian took a sip of tea, and before he could speak, Xun Yu said first: "The general must have known about Zhang Xiu's surrender and rebellion to attack Cao Gong." ”

"Yes, when I heard that Zixiu died in battle, I was very sad."

"yes, I'm not. Zixiu is a filial and wise man, and if God gives him time, he will be the lord of wisdom in the future. ”

"Once Zixiu dies, I am in danger." Li Xian sighed sadly.

Xun Yu looked at Li Xian strangely: "Why did the general say this?" What danger will the general have? ”

Li Xian told Xun Yu about writing letters to Cao Ang twice.

Xun Yu couldn't help but think for a while, then stood up and paced a few steps before he stopped and looked at Li Xian and said, "If this is the case, the general is really dangerous." I expected that Cao Gong would say that the general colluded with Zhang Xiu to plot rebellion. However, due to the identity of the general, Cao Gong may say that the general died in battle. What are the general's plans now? ”

Li Xian also looked at Xun Yu and said, "What does Mr. think I should do?" ”

He already had his own plans in his heart, and he still wanted to listen to Xun Yu's opinion.

Xun Yu thought for a while before approaching Li Xian and whispered, "Run." ”

"If I run away like this, won't it verify my crime of colluding with Zhang Xiu to commit treason?"

Li Xian had thought of this question a long time ago, after all, reputation was also very important at that time, if he was burdened with such a reputation, he would not be treated anywhere in the future.

"Yes." Xun Yu paced back and forth in the hall a few more times: "I expect that Duke Cao will let Zixiao lead the troops to summon the general to Nanyang, and then ......"

He looked at Li Xian, and Li Xian also understood what he was about to say.

Xun Yu understands Cao Cao's personality and Li Xian's personality, which is why he said these words to Li Xian so boldly.

"It's just that the reputation of the general's collusion with Zhang Xiu may be difficult to argue, but Cao Gong will not make a big deal about it. Now the plan is to let General Gao Shun recruit warriors and ambush outside the city, if Zi Xiaozhen wants to kill the general outside the city, let General Gao Shun rescue. If Zi Xiaozhen brings the general to the camp, the general must flee halfway, otherwise he will definitely die. ”

Li Xian knew that this was the only better way at present, and he said to Xun Yu: "Farewell." ”

When he returned to the house, he immediately found Gao Shun and told Gao Shun about the situation he was facing.

If it was really Cao Ren or Cao Hong who came to take Li Xian away, let Gao Shun secretly follow him out of the city with fifty guards in the palace, and when Cao Ren wanted to kill Li Xian, Gao Shun would rush out with people to rescue him.

The fifty guards in Li Xian's mansion were all carefully selected by Li Xian before, all of them were strong men, and later they were trained by Gao Shun, and their combat power was extraordinary.

Li Xian did not make friends with the wealthy family in Yuzhou, mainly because he didn't want Cao Cao to have too much suspicion of him.

He hugged his daughter Li Kui again and said to Cao Min: "Min'er, if something happens to me, Kui'er will work hard for you to raise you." ”

Cao Min was shocked and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Li Xian still doesn't want to tell her the news of Cao Ang's death in battle, Cao Ang and her are compatriots of the same mother, both born to Mrs. Liu, and their feelings are very deep.

"Don't ask, just remember what I said, I owe your mother and daughter, and if I am lucky in the future, I will compensate you."

After he finished speaking, he walked out, not giving Cao Min a chance to ask.

After everything was arranged, Li Xian waited quietly in the mansion for the arrival of Cao Ren or Cao Hong.

He waited for Cao Ren.

On the 23rd, Cao Ren returned to Xudu with 300 cavalry and went directly to the front of Li Xiefu.

The doorman reported into the mansion, and Li Xian signaled Gao Shun to prepare secretly, and then went out of the mansion to greet Cao Ren.

Cao Ren didn't enter the mansion either, standing outside the mansion gate, just saying that the war in Nanyang, Jingzhou was urgent, and asked Li Xian to serve in front of the battle immediately.

Li leaned in and put on his armor, took his Fuhu halberd, and glanced at Cao Min and his daughter Li Kui affectionately, and then resolutely turned around and walked out.

Someone had already brought Li Xie's kamikaze horse, and he flew on the horse, holding a halberd and sitting majestically on the white horse.

Cao Ren asked, "What about General Gao Shun, won't he go with you?" ”

"I sent him to the director of Runan yesterday, and I have sent someone to look for him until Nanyang."

"Let's go."

After Cao Ren finished speaking, he patted his horse and walked ahead, and Li Xian followed behind Cao Ren, followed by three hundred cavalry.

After walking for more than ten miles, next to a forest, Cao Ren stopped his horse.

He turned his horse's head and shouted: "Li Xian, you colluded with Zhang Xiu to murder Cao Gong and kill Zi Xiu, and come quickly." ”

With his shouting, the three hundred cavalry quickly dispersed, surrounding Li Xian in the middle.

Li Xian knew that there was no need to explain, and even if he wanted to explain, he didn't need to explain to Cao Ren.

Since Cao Ren chose to kill him here, it means that Cao Cao doesn't want to see him again, and he won't listen to his explanations again.

Li Xian was hesitating, only to see that Cao Ren had already raised his knife and slashed at him.

He hurriedly raised his halberd to block, and the cavalrymen also carried weapons around him and waited for an opportunity to attack.

In terms of single combat, Cao Ren is not Li Xian's opponent, but now there are still 300 cavalry surrounding Li Xian, and Li Xian is fighting very hard.

After stabbing down a dozen cavalrymen, he was also stabbed, fortunately protected by armor, but he was wounded in flesh and skin.

At this moment, dozens of horsemen flew in the distance, flying arrows like eyes, one arrow at a time, shooting down dozens of cavalrymen.

The cavalry besieging Li Xian was in chaos, and hurriedly went to catch Gao Shun and others who rushed to fight.

With Gao Shun's help, Li Xian had a lot less scruples and fought Cao Ren.

However, Cao Ren's cavalry was not weak, and after all, there were three hundred horsemen, and Gao Shun only had fifty horsemen.

After killing for a while, the fifty horsemen brought by Gao Shun died and only a few horses remained.

And Cao Ren's cavalry still had nearly a hundred horses.

Li Xian knew that if he continued to fight, he and Gao Shun might both die in battle.

After repelling Cao Ren with a halberd, he rushed to Gao Shun's side, stabbed down a cavalryman, and shouted to Gao Shun: "Peping, let's go." ”

Gao complied: "Okay." ”

Another cavalryman was cut down, and the two men fled, fleeing north.

There were still three of the fifty guards brought by Gao Shun, and Gao Shun called them to go together.

They replied, "The general will go first, and we will block the enemy for the general." ”

Seeing that they didn't leave, Gao Shun wanted to return to the horse and save them. But before Gao Shun could turn the horse's head, the three of them had all been beheaded to death.

Gao Shun had no choice but to turn back to the horse's head and flee north with Li Xian.

Cao Ren saw that he would not die after killing Li Xian, and he had no way to explain to Cao Cao when he went back, so he had to lead more than 80 horsemen to continue to chase.
