Before Liu Xie came through, he grew up in the later life. The heroes in the Three Kingdoms when he was a child can be said to be the object that Liu Xie has always admired, but when he grows up and understands more, Liu Xie has a different view of those heroes in his mind when he was a child.

For example, Guan Yu was respected as a martial saint in later generations and was known for his righteousness, but Liu Xie and others grew up to know that Guan Yu was not respected as a martial saint from the beginning. In the history of China, Wushengna is also being renewed. Before the Qin and Han dynasties, many soldiers respected Chi as a martial saint, and the reason was that Chi was especially brave. In the Tang and Song dynasties, people worshipped Jiang Ziya and Sun Wu as martial saints. In the Yuan and Ming dynasties, Wusheng became Yue Fei again, and it was not until the Manchu Qing entered the customs and seized the Han people that Wusheng was replaced by Guan Yu.

There is also a reason for the Manchu Qing Dynasty to replace the martial saint, first of all, Yue Fei is a famous anti-Jin general, and his exploits are to put it bluntly, he has killed many Jin people, and this Jin man is the ancestor of the Manchu Jurchens. The Jurchens no longer have brains, and it is impossible to honor a person who has killed many ancestors as a martial saint. The second reason why Yue Fei became a martial saint is Yue Fei's loyalty, loyalty to the Han people, and this is exactly what the Jurchens need, in order to quickly break the resistance of the Han people, the Jurchens chose Guan Yu, and deified Guan Yu, exaggerated his righteousness, and praised him to the altar.

But when Liu Xie really saw Guan Yu, he found that this was also an ordinary person, maybe his martial arts were indeed outstanding, but he also had personal likes and dislikes, joys, sorrows, and sorrows.

"Guan Yunchang, didn't you follow your eldest brother Liu Bei? Now that Liu Bei is in Wancheng, you don't go to Wancheng to meet your eldest brother, how can you get mixed up with the thief Cao Cao, aren't you trapping your eldest brother in injustice? Wuguan Chengtou, Liu Xie looked at Guan Yu who was standing beside Cao Cao and asked loudly.

"Holy Lord, Weichen Cao Cao is polite." Cao Cao didn't want Guan Yu to be embarrassed, so he took the initiative to greet Liu Xie on the close. It's just that Liu Xie pretended not to see him, and shouted to Guo Jia on the other side of Cao Cao: "Fengxiao, your face looks a little bad, the wine hurts your body, you have to take care of your body." If you don't know how to control yourself again, be careful that you won't live for thirty. ”

"There is Lao Sheng's concern, Jia just passed his thirtieth birthday not long ago." Guo Jia replied angrily.

"It's a miracle."

"Holy! Weichen Cao Cao is polite! Cao Cao suppressed his anger and said to Liu Xie.

Liu Xie seemed to have just seen Cao Cao, "Hey~ Isn't this Meng De?" When did you get here? I heard that you have been very proud recently, after pit Liu Bei and Lu Bu, and now you are preparing to come to Pit with Yuan Shao. ”

"The saint's words are wrong, and Weichen is also forced to come this time, the saint mistakenly believes in the traitor and does not listen to the advice......" Cao Cao said that this is a bit unbearable, because Liu Xie, who was closed, found a pear out of nowhere, and looked at himself with the eyes of watching a big show while gnawing.

"Say, why don't you say it? I said, if you want to rebel, can't you change the reason for a better one? This nonsense can only be a fool, the Xun family is full of loyalty, when has there ever been a traitor? On the contrary, it is the Yuan family of the fourth and third dukes, as if there was just a Yuan Shu who ascended the throne and became the emperor before. Cao Mengde, the Ming people don't say secret words, Yuan Shao's army to attack me is nothing more than to restrict the imperial court from becoming bigger, but what are you doing with him for? Isn't it that you also have the ambition to be a landlord of a generation? ”

"Wechen is wronged, Wechen is loyal to the Han, and the sun and the moon can be seen." When Cao Cao heard this, he hurriedly shouted.

"Okay, since you are full of loyalty, then you dare to swear a poisonous oath, just say that if you Cao Mengde has a disobedient heart to the Han Dynasty, your Cao family will be punished by heaven in the future."

Ancient people attached great importance to oaths, unlike modern people, who took oaths as farts. Liu Xie grabbed Cao Cao's words and forced Cao Cao to swear, which immediately made Cao Cao, who believed that there was a god on his head, hesitated.

"Holy Lord, don't change the topic, I'm here to persuade the Holy Lord to change his mind, don't appoint a traitor ...... again" Guo Jia on the side stepped forward in time when he saw this.

"Guo Fengxiao! Do you know what you're talking about? The traitor you keep saying is Xun Yu Xun Wenruo, your best friend. I think when you were down, Wen Ruo didn't help you less. Now in exchange for your traitor? Do you know what you call it? You are called ungrateful! Liu Xie shouted at Guo Jia with an angry face.

At the gate that Cao Cao, Guo Jia and others couldn't see, Xun You, Zhao Yun and others standing behind Liu Xie all looked helpless and bitter. I knew that Liu Xie's meeting with Cao Cao today was a scoundrel, and they would not agree to Liu Xie's appearance at the gate.

"Private friends are private friends, how can Guo abolish private ...... because of public affairs"

"Ha~ A reason for such a high-sounding sound, I was almost moved to cry when I heard it." Speaking of this, Liu Xie didn't look at Guo Jia to see Cao Cao, "Cao Mengde, since you claim to be a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, then I will order you to do something as the son of the Han Dynasty, are you willing?" ”

"I wonder what the Holy One commands?" Cao Cao asked in a deep voice.

"The one surnamed Guo next to you is an ungrateful villain, and he bewitched you to turn against the court, which is a heinous crime, and he is really an out-and-out traitor. Aren't you here to get rid of traitors for your country? Hurry up, there's one by your side. ”

“…… Shengshang, Feng Xiao is only a little frivolous in character, how can he be said to be a traitor. What's more, Fengxiao and Wechen are like right-hand men, how can Wechen ......"

"Co-author Guo Fengxiao is your right-hand man, Xun Wenruo is not my right-hand man? Cao Mengde, do not do to others what you do not want to be done to yourself. You want to force me to destroy the Great Wall and blind your dog's eyes by forcing me to destroy the Great Wall through military advice! Am I really scared? I am here to tell you clearly that if you want Xun Wenruo's life, you must pass me first, and I am here. If you can win Guanzhong, not to mention Xun Wenruo's life, even my life, you can give it to you if you want. But if you don't fight, then don't run to humiliate yourself. ”

After Liu Xie said this, he turned around and left, leaving Cao Cao behind and embarrassing under the pass. Cao Cao originally wanted to add a little popularity to himself through this public "persuasion", but he didn't expect to show a big eye in public. This Liu Xie always grabbed ahead of himself and blocked back what he wanted to say, so angry that he secretly hated it in his heart, but he was helpless.

Cao Cao, who was not in a very beautiful mood, returned to the formation, and Xiahoudun and Cao Hong, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately came over to ask whether to launch an attack.

"Cao Gong, the morale of the soldiers is low at this time, and it is not appropriate to attack." Guan Yu persuaded softly.

"Guan Yunchang, what do you mean?" Cao Hong asked unhappily when he heard this.

"Zilian, don't be rude, what Yun Chang said is indeed reasonable." Cao Cao glared at Cao Hong, and said to Guan Yu comfortably: "Yun Chang, in your opinion, when can you attack?" ”

"It's better to postpone it for two days, wait until the morale of the generals returns, and the last general is not talented, and I am willing to go to the battle to kill a few guards in Wuguan to boost the hearts of the army." Guan Yu asked for a deep voice.

"Hmm...... Since Yun Chang intends to fight, let's go. It's just that Wuguan has a son of heaven, and there will be fierce generals by his side, and Yun Chang must be careful when he goes. Cao Cao said uneasily.

"The last general remembers, please rest assured that Gong Cao."

Seeing Guan Yu turn around and leave, Cao Hong snorted dissatisfiedly: "What are you dragging?" I really think how great I am, and I'm not a defeated man. ”

"Shut up! They are all working for Mengde, and you are making Mengde embarrassed by saying this. Xiahoudun shouted.

Cao Hong stopped when he heard this, Cao Cao shook his head when he saw this, and instructed Xiahou Dun: "Yuan Rang, you go and sweep the formation for Yun Chang, for some reason, my eyelids are always jumping today." ”

"Lord, is it a left or right eyebeat?" Cao Hong hurriedly asked when he heard this.

"Huh? Does this have a point? Cao Cao asked.

"Of course there is, the left eye jumps wealth and the right eye jumps disaster, which eye is the lord jumping?" Cao Hong hurriedly explained.

“…… Right eye. ”

"Oops~ The right eye jumped, isn't this Guan Yunchang going to have no return this time?" Cao Hong gloated.

"Shut your crow's mouth." Xiahoudun glared at Cao Hong, turned his head to Cao Cao and said, "Meng De, I'll go first." ”

"Go ahead, take him with you, I don't want to see him for a while." Cao Cao pointed at Cao Hong and said to Xiahoudun.

……

"Ming Gong, looking at the performance of the Son of Heaven today, I am afraid that he must rely on it, and Guan Yunchang still needs to be more prepared by Ming Gong." Guo Jia reminded Cao Cao in a low voice at this time.

"Bong Hyo...... Why do you say the Son of Heaven is the way he behaves today...... What about the scoundrels? Cao Cao asked Guo Jiadao with some puzzlement.

"Maybe it's because he's confident that he's holding two levels. According to Luowang's report, the imperial court's war in Yizhou was quite smooth, and now Huang Zhong's Han'an army had reached Mianzhu, and the surrender of Pang Yi in Brazil made Liu Zhang's situation even worse. Yijia estimates that I'm afraid we haven't decided a winner here, and Yizhou Liu Zhang will be finished. ”

“…… Huang Zhong's Han'an Army has such combat power? Cao Cao said with some disbelief.

"Huh...... If you want to talk about this, even Jia also has to say admiration to today's son. Does Ming Gong know about Li Ru? ”

"Li Ru? The mastermind around Dong Zhuo...... This person is not dead? Cao Cao didn't react until halfway through his words, and asked in surprise.

"Ming Gong didn't expect it, even Lian Jia didn't expect it. Previously, Jia thought that Li Ru had been killed along with Dong Zhuo's execution. But I don't want him not only not to die, but has been secretly operating in Yizhou, collecting intelligence for the imperial court and buying people's hearts. This time, the Han'an army was able to attack so smoothly, and Li Ru contributed a lot. This Tianzi is really eclectic in employing people, and even people like Li Ru dare to let it go. ”

"Fengxiao, then what kind of court elites do you say will come here with the Son of Heaven?" Cao Cao obviously didn't want to talk about this topic, and asked instead.

"Duke Ming, the imperial court monopolizes Guanzhong, and it is an enemy on all sides. Zhang Ren's beggar army needed to defend the Western Regions, Zhang Yan's Black Mountain army needed to keep an eye on Xiqiang, and Xu Huang's army of Xie Fu and Zhang Liao's Youyi army needed to guard against the Xiongnu in the north. Now that the Han'an army has entered Yizhou, the only person that the Son of Heaven can mobilize is the pro-army subordinate to the Son of Heaven. However, Ming Gong must not think that the Son of Heaven's army is easy to deal with. In Jia's opinion, the pro-army of this Son of Heaven may be more difficult to deal with than the four armies mentioned earlier. ”

"Oh, I want to hear about it."

"Ming Gong, the number of the Son of Heaven's pro-army alone exceeds 50,000, and all of them are elite soldiers. Among them, there are not a few fierce generals, only Jia knows, there are Zhao Yun, Pang De, Dian Wei, Tai Shici, and Wuwei Ma Teng's eldest son Ma Chao is called Shenwei Tian General by the Qiang people, since Ma Teng surrendered to the imperial court, then his son is also in the Son of Heaven's army at this time. At present, although the army of the Son of Heaven has been divided into two parts, it is commendable that it may not be easy to seize the pass and enter the pass. ”

"There are so many fierce generals in Guanzhong, but it's a pity that they can't be used by me." Cao Cao sighed and said a little depressed.

"Duke Ming, Lu Fengxian, and Guan Yunchang are all enemies of 10,000 people, plus Xu Zhongkang, Yuan Rang and others, in fact, there are not a few fierce generals under the command of Duke Ming." Seeing this, Guo Jia persuaded softly.

Cao Cao shook his head when he heard this, and said to Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, accompany me to the front of the battle to see how Yun Chang wins or loses." ”

"Yes, Ming Gong please."

When Cao Cao and Guo Jia arrived in front of the battle, they saw Guan Yu fighting fiercely with a big man with a white horse and a silver gun, and Xiahoudun had also gone into battle at this time, coincidentally the general who was fighting with him was also dressed in a white horse and silver gun.

"Zilian, who is playing against Yun Chang and Yuan Rang respectively?" Cao Cao patted Cao Hong, who was watching the battle a little fascinated, on the shoulder and asked.

"Lord, that, it is Zhao Yun who is playing against Guan Laoer, and it is Tai Shici who is playing against Yuan Rang." Cao Hong saw that it was Cao Cao who asked, and hurriedly replied.

"And who are those people on the other side?" Cao Cao looked at the Han army in front of Wuguan Pass and asked Cao Hongdao.

"Uh...... I don't know about this, so I'll ask. ”

"Hey~" Cao Cao was just about to stop it, but he didn't want Cao Hong to rush forward. Seeing that another general of Cao Jun stepped forward, Liu Xie, who was watching the battle, immediately said to Ma Chao beside him: "Meng Qi, what do you think of this person?" ”

"Hmph, Native Chicken." Ma Chao glanced at Cao Hong, who came over, and replied with a look of disdain.

"Heh~ What a big breath, then make it a little more difficult for you and capture him alive?" Liu Xie smiled when he saw this.

"Is it good?"

"Yes, as long as you can capture him alive, I will reward you with a jar of wine."

As early as when the Yuan Cao coalition army sent troops to the imperial court, Liu Xie issued a ban on alcohol in the army, which was undoubtedly a torment for people like Ma Chao who used alcohol as water. wants to oppose this "tyranny", Ma Chao doesn't have the guts. Liu Xie relied on Ma Teng's support, but he had already cleaned up Ma Chao's obedience.

Not only Ma Chao was hungry for wine, but wine sieves like Dian Wei and Hu Che'er were also moved when they heard Liu Xie's promise to Ma Chao. Dian Wei couldn't help but ask for a fight: "Lord, Meng Qi doesn't seem to want to go, why don't you let the last general go?" ”

"General Dian, use a knife to kill chickens, let's let the last general come out." Hu Che'er on the side also hurriedly asked for battle when he heard this.

"Lao Dian, Lao Hu, you guys are not kind, this is obviously the opportunity given to me by the lord. Lord, the last will come when he goes. Ma Chao didn't think about it when he heard it, and immediately rushed out. Seeing that Ma Chao took the lead, Dian Wei and Hu Che'er could only sigh regretfully.

"Let's get the name together!" When Cao Hong saw Ma Yu coming, he shouted loudly.

"Xiliang Ma Chao." After Ma Chao finished speaking, he stabbed Cao Hong with a shot. According to the rules, the two sides of the fight will report each other's names before they start, but Ma Chao broke the rules.

"Ma Chao! You don't follow the rules! Cao Hong blocked Ma Chao's stabbing gun, and angrily condemned Ma Chao's shamelessness.

"Humph! You're not my opponent anyway, and the lord has an order to capture you alive, so I naturally don't need to know what your name is. Ma Chao said with a disdainful face, so angry that Cao Hong's teeth itched.

It's so contemptuous of people!

As the saying goes, people fight for a breath, and the Buddha receives a stick of incense. Ma Chao's contemptuous attitude made Cao Hong also ruthless. This anger can indeed stimulate people's potential, and at a normal level, Cao Hong and Ma Chao can't last more than 20 rounds. But now Cao Hong is about to hold on to thirty rounds, although the situation has begun to be one-sided, if Ma Chao didn't want to exchange Cao Hong and Liu Xie for wine, he would have stabbed Cao Hong to death with one shot, but the signs that Cao Hong is going to finish are becoming more and more obvious.

"Zhong Kang! Hurry up and save Zilian. Cao Cao, who was watching the battle, saw that Cao Hong was about to finish, and hurriedly ordered Xu Chudao beside him. If you want to say who has the best relationship with Cao Cao among the generals of the Cao family, it is not Xiahou Tang or Xiahou Yuan, but Cao Hong, who is about to be captured. This Cao Hong had a life-saving grace for Cao Cao, when Cao Cao launched an alliance against Dong, Dong Zhuo coerced the emperor to retreat to Chang'an, and Cao Cao was the only one who insisted on pursuing and tried to recapture the Han emperor. As a result, Cao Cao was ambushed, suffered heavy losses to his men and horses, and when he escaped, he was able to escape with Cao Hong's horses.

The merit is higher than the rescue, and the crime is nothing more than seeking a dynasty. Cao Hong saved Cao Cao, and he became Cao Cao's life-saving benefactor and one of Cao Cao's most trusted people. Now seeing Cao Hong in danger, if he didn't know that his martial arts were not good, Cao Cao might have stepped forward to save people.

"Zilian, don't panic, Xu Zhongkang is here." Xu Chu shouted loudly while clapping his horse and hurrying over.

"Cao Jun deceived me, and no one in the court cares!" Before Xu Chu rushed to Cao Hong's side, he was intercepted by Dian Wei. Seeing this, Cao Cao looked around and found that he was the only one with the highest martial arts at the moment. But if he stepped forward, what if he closed the Son of Heaven and ordered the arrow to be released? From the previous conversation, it can be seen that this Son of Heaven does not seem to attach much importance to the face.

"Ming Gong, give the order to tackle the problem." Seeing this, Guo Jia said in a low voice.

"Tackle the problem?"

"Not to capture this pass, but to bring the generals back."

As soon as Cao Cao heard this, he immediately nodded and instructed Cao Chundao: "Zihe, the tiger and leopard ride is ready to attack." ”

……

Although Cao Jun launched an attack, Cao Hong still asked Ma Chao to sweep off his horse with a shot at the last moment and rush into the pass. Cao Cao couldn't help but be furious when he saw this, and immediately wanted to forcibly break through, but fortunately, Guo Jia persuaded him in time, which made Cao Cao reluctantly withdraw his troops.

"Cao Zilian, I heard that you are very proficient in money and goods, are you interested in coming to work under me?" Liu Xie asked Cao Hongdao with a smile.

"......" Cao Hong did not squeak, silent confrontation. Seeing this, Ma Chao behind him raised his leg and kicked Cao Hong, and shouted angrily: "My lord asked you something." ”

"Meng Qi, don't be rude, we are all civilized people, we must be graceful."

“…… Lord, the reward of the last general......"

"You're indispensable, I'll go to Bohou to get it later. By the way, take this guy down by the way. Liu Xie pointed to Cao Hong, who was kneeling on the ground, and said.

"Lord, what should I do with this person?" Ma Chao asked.

"Lock it up first, and dispose of it after Cao Cao is cleaned up."
