Chapter 321: The Fleeing People

"Master, let's go!" Xun Yu understood that these people were deliberately waiting for the emperor and him here. Those words just now were also prepared for the two of them!

"The dragon is trapped in the shallows, it depends on whether the dragon wants to take off. If you want to, you need to swim into deep water! Zuo Ci on the side finally opened his eyes and looked at Liu Xie.

"You mean south?" Liu Xie is not stupid, if he is a trapped dragon and wants to enter deep water, the north naturally can't, this Jingzhou has the Han River and the Yangtze River......

"Don't leak it!" Zuo Ci turned around very stinky and continued to look at the scenery.

"Joke! You also claim to be able to spy on the heavens, and you said that Liu Cong has the aura of an emperor and a dragon. Now that my master is going south, don't you hear that one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers? What's more, in this Han world, how can there be two true dragon emperors? Xun Yu also knew that his identity and Liu Xie's identity had already been recognized, and he would no longer look forward or backward when he spoke!

"Wrong! Miss by a mile! The so-called plan is in people, and success is in heaven! Why is the trapped dragon not entering the river? Whoever is the Son of Heaven is the will of Heaven. If Providence allowed Liu Cong to ascend to the throne, how could others stop him? On the contrary, if Liu Cong didn't have this life, and the trapped dragon refused to enter the river, wouldn't he continue to be in chaos in the world? ”

"Thank you for your advice!" This time, Liu Xie and Xun Yu spoke in unison. After finishing speaking, the two continued to ask, and the Zuo Ci and the middle-aged scholar had disappeared. Only Bai Xiaoqing and the young scholar were left in the pavilion cleaning up the mess.

Bai Xiaoqing was much kinder than Zuo Ci and the middle-aged scholar, and smiled at everyone: "The family teacher and uncle are such tempers, don't laugh at the two of you." ”

"The fairy has seen the outside, I have wandered here with my master, and it is rare to meet the immortal, so I am curious."

"Oh, how many of them are northerners, right?" I have to say that Bai Xiaoqing's skills in this round have been passed on by Zuo Ci, and in this case, she can continue to pretend to be stupid.

Then Liu Xie and Xun Yu naturally understood that since they didn't reveal their identities, they would not be embarrassed, so they said goodbye to Bai Xiaoqing and continued to wander around the city. Besides, the two old guys have already left, and no matter how embarrassed a little girl is, she will lose her identity, and everyone will leave in a huff. Along the way, Xun Yu kept comforting Liu Xie, for fear that he would be displeased.

Liu Xie gradually calmed down, and then stopped at a street corner and said to Xun Yu: "Wen Ruo, do you think I should go to Xiangyang?" The old Taoist priest was right, even if I was the true Son of the Dragon, I was now a dragon trapped in the shallows. Cao Mengde's ambitions are growing day by day, and I see that he is about to usurp the throne soon......"

"This ......"

Seeing that the noble Son of Heaven counted down his lord Cao Cao like a shrew, Xun Yu could not hold on to the fire even if he was loyal.

Looking at Xun Yu's embarrassed look, Liu Xie was also a little distressed by Xun Yu. Although he is the son of heaven, when it comes to pampering, this Xun Yu is not lost to him as an emperor.

But Xun Yu basically fell out with the lord Cao Cao in order to maintain the Han family, and he couldn't do it in the middle of the service, and he couldn't do it in Tinghou, so he accompanied himself to wander around the Luyang realm. In such a situation, there are really not many courtiers who are still loyal to the Han family and the emperor.

"Wen Ruo, in your opinion, who will win the decisive battle between Meng De and Buchang this time?"

"It's hard to say. It is said that Cao Gong's strength is definitely stronger than that of the general of Zhengnan. It's just that according to Yu's understanding, this Liu Cong has been cautious since his debut, and he strives for a quick victory in every battle, and strives to win completely, so as to reduce his own losses. It is precisely because of this that he can not only gain a foothold in Jingzhou in a short number, but also join Sun Quan in the east and reject Cao Gong in the north. You can also free up your hands to swallow Yizhou.

Jiangxia rescued Huang Zu, attacked Sun Quan, Fancheng held on, attacked Yizhou, Liu Cong not only did not lose his strength after each battle, but even increased slightly after collecting prisoners. This attack on Xuchang and wanting to rescue His Majesty is definitely not a hot-headed move. Now Liu Cong has Zhuge Liang, Fa Zheng, Pang Tong, Xu Shu, Zhang Song and other think tanks around him, if he is bound to lose, presumably Liu Cong will not do it......

It's just that with tens of thousands of infantry in Jingzhou, how can they resist Cao Gong's iron cavalry? and Liu Cong has been fighting on three fronts, if it were to change to the usual, it would definitely be Xinye and Fancheng. Is the only way to stop the cavalry is to rely on a strong city? ”

"Isn't it for us?" Liu Xie thought about Xun Yu's thoughts, and finally realized how determined Liu Cong was to prepare for a showdown with Cao Cao in order to get him, the emperor. And now that Cao Cao has returned to his division and quickly mobilized troops and horses from all over the country to press Xuchang, Liu Cong still does not retreat. It's definitely not that Liu Cong has the strength, nor is it self-confidence. There is only one possibility, which is to take the three counties of Xuchang, Nanyang, and Runan into his own hands, so that he can continue to search for his and Xun Yu's whereabouts.

If you think about it carefully, although this Liu Cong is also very likely to use his banner to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes. In the end, he was still a puppet, but Liu Cong took a lot of risks to get himself. And if Liu Cong can really win this battle, maybe he will really be able to win the Central Plains and reign in the world! If Liu Cong can do it, why not help him, the shell emperor, help him?

As the two Taoist priests said, it is also possible for the dragon to be swallowed by Liu Cong, the real dragon, when it enters the water, but it is better than being trapped in the shallows, this Liu Cong is a relative of the Han family, his nominal younger brother, he took the world, the world is still Han, or the Liu family. If Cao Cao succeeds in usurping the throne, he will be a sinner through the ages, and the end will not be any better. If Liu Cong becomes the emperor, he will inevitably have a prince!

Of course, after leaving Xuchang and Cao Cao, the drunken and erosive life of the past is probably gone. However, Liu Xie is now in his thirties, and he has deep fears about the various violence of He Jin, Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao, so now he is gradually leaning towards Liu Cong. He actually didn't know that it was the words of Zuo Ci and others that subtly changed Liu Xie.

"If that's the case, let's leave this place as soon as possible, lest Brother Bu Chang make a strategic mistake for us and be succeeded by Cao Cao."

"Your Majesty......" Seeing Liu Xie's previous neutral attitude, Xun Yu was also a little surprised that he had changed so much all of a sudden. To be honest, after coming out of Xuchang, Xun Yu no longer wanted to go back to Xuchang and return to Cao Cao.

Since he tore his face, Cao Cao was so ruthless. There is no need to go back and bring in and kill. But if he wants to take refuge in Liu Cong, he really didn't think about it, he just did his duty to accompany the emperor.

"Wen Ruo, you've worked hard for this time. It's time for you to think about your future. If my Buchang brother can really reverse the situation and help the Han family, you don't want to bury this talent in vain. If you can help him, help him...... Don't worry about me! ”

"Your Majesty, even if you die, you must protect Your Majesty!"

"Hey, let's not talk about this, let's go around the city while there is no war."

"Your Majesty, now presumably the Duke of Wei and the men and horses of the general Zhengnan are looking for Your Majesty all over the city......"

"It's okay, it's up to God's will. If you let Cao Mengde's people find it first, if you don't want to go back, just go by yourself. The Emperor would have agreed to that. If the old Taoist priest made sense, then there was really dragon qi coiling on Liu Cong's ancestral tomb, then they should have found me first. I am the emperor, his imperial brother, and he doesn't dare to drop me for the time being. ”

Xun Yu stopped talking, so he silently followed Liu Xie, and the group returned to the inn to change their clothes, then rode on the horse, and prepared to go around the suburbs of Luyang. It is said that this Luyang was originally the boundary of Jingzhou, but most of the northern part of Nanyang County was under the control of Cao Cao, and Liu Cong established a new county in Xinye. This Luyang has become a buffer zone between the two forces, and no one has garrisoned here.

This is the tacit understanding reached by Cao Cao and Liu Cong after the Battle of Fancheng. This also facilitated Liu Cong's surprise attack on Xuchang. Now, although the black clouds are overwhelming, Lu Yang has not yet mobilized. The county commander and the county lieutenant didn't know who to help, anyway, whoever entered the city would listen to whomever they wanted, so now the city is very free to enter and exit.

Liu Xie, Xun Yu and others rode out of Luyang City, but found that there were many people along the way to the south, Liu Xie couldn't help but stepped forward to stop an old man and asked: "Old man, where do you many people come from and where do you want to go?" ”

The old man saw that Liu Xie and the others were either rich or expensive, and they couldn't afford to provoke them, so they had to stop and reply very respectfully: "We came from Xiangcheng County to go to Xiangyang. ”

"It's hundreds of miles this way, why are you doing that?" Liu Xie looked at the crowd, there were hundreds of people. However, most of them are women and children, old and young.

"Hey, it's not to escape the war. Your Excellency, you won't know that this Cao Cao and General Liu are going to fight! ”

"Yes, as soon as the fight starts, our Xiangcheng County is about to suffer, so I want to take shelter as soon as possible." There are also people next to him who are helping.

"Isn't that right? Xiangcheng County is the boundary of Xuchang, you should go north to avoid the war, go to Yanzhou or Luoyang and other places, how to go to Xiangyang, then Cao Cao is not the same homeless? Liu Xie was very curious about this group of people who set off from Xiangcheng County, could it be that they could also spy on the heavens like the old Taoist, and the little Cao Cao couldn't beat Liu Cong. In the old man's mouth, Cao Cao is Cao Cao, but Liu Cong is General Liu! This treatment, this tone is too far behind!

"Hey, my lord, you're from the north, aren't you? Not to mention General Liu's victory or defeat, just because he can set up a wide range of porridge farms and provide arable land for free, we don't want to take refuge in him, besides, now Xiangyang and Nanjun are the safest places in the country, and there was a plague a few years ago, but General Liu was safe and sound. The second child is so old, if there is a war, another plague will not be able to escape. ”

"Yes, I heard that when the son and the servant went to Xiangyang today, it can be seen that General Liu is the pillar of the Han family. If this lord is not a general, he should hurry to the south. Speaking of which, the old man actually persuaded Liu Xie.

"Yes, yes, you young people will definitely be able to make a difference when you go to General Liu's subordinates!"

"Let's go, old man, it's almost time to catch up with the line!"

"Oh......"
