Chapter 278: The King is Weak and the Ministers Are Strong

White Horse Gate.

Yuan Xu led Ma Yi and Zhao Yi to stand on the horse and look to the east.

More than a dozen dark shadows appeared at the end of the horizon.

The black shadow of the galloping horse was getting closer and closer, and Yuan Xu could already see that it was Liu Bei and Zhang Fei who were at the forefront.

Seeing that it was the two of them, he greeted them.

Yuan Xu greeted him personally, and Liu Bei turned over and dismounted and galloped over.

Liu Bei dismounted, and Yuan Xu also got off the horse, far away.

Running closer, Liu Bei grabbed Yuan Xu's hands before he spoke, and he burst into tears: "Xianxin save me!" ”

"What's wrong with the envoy?" Supporting Liu Bei, Yuan Xu asked, "Who intends to murder the envoy?" ”

"Bei and Wen Chou attacked Cao Cao, and General Wen Chou did not listen to a certain word and was defeated like a mountain. The responsibility is very heavy, if Yuan Gong is demoted, how can he bear it? ”

"Don't worry about you!" Supporting Liu Bei, Yuan Xu said: "And live in Baima for a while, a certain has his own plans!" ”

"The life of the preparation is all in the manifestation." Liu Bei said with tears on his face.

"If you come all the way, it will be tiring!" Yuan Xu said: "This is not a place to talk, I'll wait until I enter the city!" ”

After thanking Yuan Xu, Liu Bei walked with him to the city gate.

Outside the city gate, Liu Bei looked at the city.

On the city wall, the battle flag of the Yuan army fluttered in the wind.

Looking at the flying battle flag, Liu Bei said: "Cao Jun defeated Yan Liang in less than ten days, and Xianxin took the white horse. Even if Zhang Liang is alive, how can he be revealed? ”

"Praise the king!" Yuan Xu said with a smile: "Zhang Liang strategized to win a thousand miles, but he won by luck, how dare he compare with it?" ”

"Xian Xin is too humble!" Liu Bei's words changed: "Have you seen my second brother?" ”

"I saw it when Cao Jun evacuated!" Yuan Xu said: "Yun Chang didn't see the envoy and refused to stay, so he went to Guandu with Cao Jun. ”

"If the second brother is visible, he will be persuaded to return to the Yuan family." Liu Bei said: "To fill the lack of General Yan Liang." ”

"Make you have a heart!" Yuan Xu smiled indifferently.

Wen Chou went to Penglai. Yan Liang personally went to the beach to greet him.

When it came to the defeat of Cao's soldiers, both of them sighed.

Yan Liang's family has come to Penglai, and Yan Liang has learned everything from them about what happened in Yecheng.

After the defeat, the family was implicated, and both of them understood that they would never return to Yecheng.

It's just hiding in Penglai, it's not a matter after all!

Yuan Xu is not on the island. If you want to ask for a solution, there is no one.

They can only wait for the war in Hebei to settle down, and Yuan Xu will return to Penglai to make plans!

Retreating to Guandu, Cao's army built a city wall to prevent Yuan's army from moving south.

Yuan's army also continued to increase troops to Guandu.

When the leader came to the banks of the Yellow River, Yuan Shao asked his subordinates: "Cao Cao retreats to Guandu, how can he break the enemy?" ”

Feng Ji said: "Cao Jun built a high wall in Guandu. Yuan Gong could order the sergeants to carry more earthwork and build high platforms to advance gradually. ”

"It takes time and effort to build a high platform, but there is a way to break the enemy as quickly as possible?"

Xu You said: "Storming Guandu is not a good strategy. ”

Yuan Shao asked, "Ziyuan has a good plan?" ”

"Cao Cao is stationed in Guandu, and Xuchang must be empty." Xu You said: "Yuan Gong can raise thousands of elite soldiers and make a detour to Xuchang to seize its foundation. This battle can be decided! ”

Yuan Shao said with a smile: "Cao Cao's soldiers are crossed, how can Xuchang be unguarded?" Not to mention whether thousands of elite soldiers can avoid Cao Jun's eyes and approach Xuchang, even if they arrive, whether they can break the city is two words. This plan is absolutely impossible! ”

The proposal was vetoed by Yuan Shao, and Xu You's face was very bad.

With Tian Feng's experience in the past, he didn't dare to speak out, so he had to retreat.

"According to the metamap!" Yuan Shao said: "Order the soldiers to carry more earthworks to build a high slope and advance to Guandu!" ”

Yuan Shao ordered. The soldiers of the Yuan army brought a cart of loess.

Cao Jun also prepared longbows and crossbows to prepare for stubborn defense.

The two armies confronted each other at Guandu. The war temporarily stabilized, and Cao Cao led Guan Yu and others back to Xudu.

Back in Xudu, Xun Yu and others accompanied Cao Cao straight to the palace.

Since the incident happened, Liu Xie was in a panic all day long, and when he learned that Cao Cao had returned, he hurriedly took the queen out of the palace to greet him.

I saw Cao Cao coming from afar. Liu Xie bowed.

"Why is Your Majesty here?" In front of him, Cao Cao did not dismount, leaned over and asked.

"Cao Gong is rebellious and hard-working, and I must come to greet him." Liu Xie bowed his head and replied.

"Your Majesty said it well!" Cao Cao laughed and said to the people behind him: "Your Majesty still knows the heart of loyal ministers!" ”

"Cao Gong's loyalty and righteousness can be learned from the sky!" The generals responded one after another.

Xun Yu saw this. His brow furrowed slightly.

When the courtiers returned, it was a great honor for the emperor to greet him personally.

Cao Cao not only did not thank Dade, but laughed wildly, and Xun Yu, who has always been loyal to the Han family, of course couldn't stand it.

In front of the generals, it was inconvenient for him to remind.

I had to be silent.

Cao Cao dismounted and helped Liu Xie up: "The minister returned to Xudu, but there is something important to ask Your Majesty for permission!" ”

"Cao Gong's affairs, I will not allow it!" Liu Xiecheng responded in fear.

"Yuan Shao went against the sky, raised unrighteous soldiers and caused chaos in the society, and asked His Majesty to issue an edict to ask Yuan." Cao Cao said: "The matter of leading the army to rebel, the ministers do it themselves, and you don't have to worry about it!" ”

"Respectfully according to Cao Gong!" Liu Xie responded.

Cao Cao was triumphant, but Xun Yu's face became more and more ugly.

The dignified emperor of the Han Dynasty actually made a big salute to his courtiers and obeyed the orders of his courtiers.

is so upside down, once it spreads, Cao Cao is not a thief!

Leaving the palace, Xun Yu whispered: "Gong Cao, there is something I don't know whether to say or not. ”

"Wen Ruo and a certain are old friends." Cao Cao said: "What can't be said? ”

"Yuan Shao crusaded against Cao Gong, and Chen Lin wrote an essay in a free manner, insulting Cao Gong as a thief and a rebel." Xun Yu said: "Every time I think about it, I always feel indignant! ”

Cao Cao smiled indifferently and said: "Yuan Shao's scolding is dripping, and he also felt itchy at the root of his teeth that day, but now he has forgotten it, Wen Ruo doesn't have to mind!" It's Chen Lin's good writing, and he is quite interested in it! ”

"Chen Lin's literary brilliance is flying, how can black and white be reversed?" Xun Yu said: "Cao Gong is bent on recovering the Han Dynasty, and he is the son of the Han Dynasty, who in the world does not know?" ”

Xun Yu rarely spoke like this, Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Wen Ruo has something to say?" ”

"Don't dare!" Xun Yu said: "I just feel that Cao Gong should practice it, don't let people grab the handle." ”

"Isn't there something in the words?" Cao Cao patted Xun Yu on the back: "Wen Ruo's meaning has been understood, and the courtesy of the monarch and the minister should be paid more attention." A certain is not Yuan Shao, but if you have spoken out! ”

"Cao Gong is wise!" Xun Yu praised.

Cao Cao went to the palace to ask for an edict, and when Guan Yu entered the city, he hurried back to his residence.

When Mrs. Gan Mi learned of his return, she invited him to go to Yixu.

Two ladies in the room.

Mrs. Gan sat upright, Mrs. Mi sat aside, Guan Yu hugged his fists and bowed to face the two, and he didn't dare to look at them more respectfully. (To be continued.) )
