But what good way can Xiahou Xuan, over the years, Yongliang's real power has been held by Guo Huai and others, Xiahou Xuan, as a general of the expedition to the west, but has no authority to lead the troops, to be honest, who would have thought that it would be such a situation.

"At the beginning of Tai, now that there have been drastic changes in Luoyang, the general is in a different place, and the government is completely controlled by Sima and his party, where should you and I go?" Xiahouba's voice revealed a sense of helplessness, when Cao Shuang was the backer, their life in Guanzhong was not very pleasant, and now that the backer has fallen, this day is indeed impossible to live.

Xiahou Xuan's face turned a little pale, shook his head and said, "What can we do, wait and see what happens." ”

Xiahou Ba's expression became a little excited, and said, "Taichu, you are sitting still!" I heard that Sima Yi killed all sides in Luoyang, and all the general's close confidants were slaughtered, if you and I return to Luoyang at this moment, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape death, do you expect Sima Yi to let us go? ”

"Then according to Uncle Ba's opinion, what should we do?" Xiahou Xuan asked rhetorically.

Xiahou Ba lowered his voice and said: "There are no people here, there is a place to keep people, Taichu, since this Great Wei can no longer accommodate you and me, it is better to go south to Shu Kingdom, maybe there is still a glimmer of life." ”

Xiahou Xuan was shocked, defected to the enemy and treason, this is a felony to exterminate the three clans, fled from Guanzhong to Hanzhong, Guanshan blocked, the road is steep, the probability of success is very low, even if he succeeds by luck, he escaped to Shu, what kind of treatment he received, it is really difficult to say, but the family members who stayed in the territory of Wei are destined to be implicated.

Now the families of Xiahou Xuan and Xiahou Ba are still in Luoyang, if they escape successfully, they will not have to die in the hands of Sima Yi, but their families will not be spared.

Xiahou Xuan said in a deep voice: "Uncle Ba, even if you get away, what about your family, they are still in Luoyang now, can't you watch them die?" ”

Xiahou Ba had a resolute look on his face, and said: "I can't take care of so much now, with Sima Yi's means, even if we return to Luoyang, the life of the whole family will not be guaranteed, rather than this, it is better to escape for our lives first, and then try to take revenge later." ”

Xiahou Xuan sighed and said, "It seems that Uncle Ba has made up his mind, so I can't persuade you anymore, I wish you a safe journey." ”

Xiahou Ba said in surprise: "Taichu, I came here on purpose to persuade you to go together, do you really expect that bastard Sima Yi to let you go?" ”

Xiahou Xuan said calmly: "I, Xiahou Xuan, as a pure minister of the Great Wei, even if I am really helpless, I will never surrender to the enemy and commit treason, what is the joy of life, what is the fear of death, if Sima Yi really wants to kill me, just listen to it." ”

Xiahou Ba stomped heavily and said: "Taichu, you-you are too stupid, what is the difference between returning to Luoyang and waiting to be killed?" Stay in the green mountains, are you still afraid that there will be no firewood? If you die, you won't even have a chance to get revenge. ”

Xiahou Xuan was unmoved, and said lightly: "Everyone has their own ambitions, don't force them, I have made up my mind, I don't need to say more." Since Uncle Ba has the heart to go away and fly high, then do it as soon as possible, if you wait for the Luoyang edict to arrive, I am afraid it will be too late to leave. ”

Xiahou Ba saw that the persuasion was fruitless, so he had to sigh and arch his hand: "In this case, a certain farewell, you can do it yourself, I hope we will have a chance to meet in the future." ”

With that, Xiahou Ba turned around and left.

Xiahou Xuanmu sent him away, and his heart was full of amazement, Xiahou Ba was more than lucky, and it was really unknown whether he could defect to Shu smoothly, but he stayed in Wei, I was afraid that it would be more dangerous.

But Xiahou Ba's defection path is not Xiahou Xuan's choice after all, even if he dies under the knife of the Sima clan, it is better than bearing the charge of a traitorous minister.

Xiahou Xuan sat silently in the study, and he didn't know how long he had been sitting, until when he was holding the lamp, it was dark, and suddenly Guo Huai suddenly broke in with a team of people.

Guo Huai's behavior was already very rude, not only was it not transmitted, but he was also dressed all over his body and led the troops to break in, which was clearly the rhythm of capturing the imperial court.

"Governor Xiahou, Xiahou Ba defected and betrayed the country, does the governor know?" Guo Huai asked coldly, as if he was interrogating a prisoner.

Xiahou Xuan raised his eyelids and said lightly: "Oh, there is such a thing? Something unknown also. ”

Guo Huai didn't seem to believe Xiahou Xuan's words, and sneered: "Someone has seen with their own eyes that Xiahou Ba came to the governor in person this afternoon, and then escaped from Chang'an City, does the governor dare to say that he doesn't know?" ”

Xiahou Xuan said calmly: "Xiahou Ba did come to our mansion, but he only said some short things about his parents, did Guo Tingshi really think that he would reveal his defection to the governor?" ”

Guo Huai said in a deep voice: "Treason and defection to the enemy, that is a serious crime to exterminate the three clans, if you don't know it, harbor and shield, you will be guilty of the same crime, presumably the governor also knows." A certain has already sent someone to chase him, Xiahou Ba is alone, he will definitely not be able to escape, the governor had better be prepared to confront him face to face! ”

Xiahou Xuan didn't raise his eyelids, and said lightly: "Listen to it." ”

Guo Huai Xingshi moved the crowd to come, obviously believing that Xiahou Xuan was related to Xiahou Ba's escape, but now he has not caught Xiahou Ba, and without evidence, Guo Huai really has no choice but to get Xiahou Xuan, so he had to say stupidly: "That is the case, then so-and-so has resigned." ”

"Let's go, don't send it." Xiahou Xuanmu said expressionlessly.

Guo Huai turned his head and left, and when he left the mansion, his subordinates muttered: "Guo Tingshi, the governor of Xiahou must know about this matter, maybe he connived at it." ”

Guo Huai snorted heavily and said, "He won't be angry for long, and when he catches Xiahouba, he will definitely look good." ”

In the past, Guo Huai's attitude towards Xiahou Xuan has always been respectful, after all, Xiahou Xuan is the identity of Shangguan, Guo Huai can be regarded as forbearance at home, the news of the Luoyang Mutiny came, Guo Huai finally raised his eyebrows, and there was no need to whisper in front of Xiahou Xuan.

Out of the Governor's Mansion, Guo Huai was about to get on the horse, when he saw a horse galloping from the opposite side, he asked in a deep voice, "Who is coming?" ”

The person on the opposite side immediately said: "A certain is a messenger of the imperial court, and he has come to deliver an edict." ”

Guo Huai immediately said: "A certain is the Yongzhou assassin Guo Huai is also, what is the edict?" ”

When the messenger heard this, he hurriedly handed over the edict and said: "That's right, Guo Tingshi, Sima Taifu has an order, this edict will be with the assassin history first." ”

Guo Huai took the edict, opened it, couldn't help laughing, and said: "This edict came at the right time, let's go back and announce the edict!" ”
