Chapter 70: Never be the Emperor

In the face of Liu Xie, the son of heaven who suddenly attacked, Guo Jia and Cao Cào, although they were disdainful in their hearts, at least their faces were calm and did not write that contempt on their faces. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info//update fast //~~

I insist on studying Han En and Han Lu in these two heroes, whether what they are doing now is right or not worthy of Han Yunyun, Guo Jia does not have such a high consciousness, he has come through time, whether the Han is kind to his ancestors, he doesn't think about it, it is impossible to rise a kind of justice in his heart that supports the Han Dynasty anyway.

And Cao Cào may have really wanted to be a loyal minister in the first half of his life, but step by step, the changes in the situation, the changes in power, and the changes in ambition have also made him unable to be a loyal minister.

The reason why Cao Cào brought troops to Luoyang to "fight a decisive battle" with Guo Jia was also to bring the Son of Heaven from Xuchang for two purposes, one was to use Liu Xie's status as emperor to suppress Guo Jia, of course, this purpose could not be achieved. The other purpose is to let Liu Xie have a sober understanding of the current situation in the world.

Guo Jia has a hatred for Cao Cào and a sense of gratitude for Liu Xie.

But back then, Liu Xie in Luoyang Zhong once solicited destination assistance, which could not make Guo Jia grateful for a lifetime.

Guo Jia is such a person, when he is not right about things or people, and when there is no connection with everything, he will not think with emotions.

Cao Cào had ambitions to stand on his own behalf of the Han Dynasty, and Guo Jia would not oppose Cao Cào or support Liu Xie because he hated Cao Cào.

Looking at Liu Xie's mature face, his lush beard shows his biological age, and this son of heaven who once impressed Guo Jia seems to be becoming mediocre in adulthood, and he can't even open his eyes and can't see the situation clearly.

"Your Majesty, it has been nearly twenty years since Dong Zhuo stole the collapse of the Dragon Court, and the Han family's country has gradually improved from the scene of a group of thieves raging through thousands of holes, but the minister has the courage to ask Your Majesty, who brought this country back? Who raised the army to clear the thief? Usurpation? When Your Majesty ascended the throne, did you have a country for others to usurp? ”

Guo Jia's indifferent words made Liu Xie's face bloodless, and he was stunned on the spot.

At this point, Cao Cào looked at Guo Jia, full of regret and complexity.

Perhaps, the only people in this world who can understand Cao Cào and can really see the current situation are Guo Jia and Cao Cào.

Not being a confidant in this life is a lifelong regret!

When Emperor Ling, at least the authority of the emperor was still there, whether it was relatives, scholars, eunuchs, no matter how fierce they were in the party, they did not dare to be presumptuous in front of the emperor, and the Han Dynasty was unified on the surface.

And when it came to Liu Xie's hands, he was a puppet emperor supported by Dong Zhuo, what was the country like at that time? The Eighteen Princes attacked Dong, it sounds like eighteen loyal ministers came to crusade against the rebels, but in fact?

The four sides of the heroes rose together, each of them went their own way, the Han dynasty existed in name only, Liu Xie's hands, not to mention the country, even the palace was a cage, what did he have to usurp?

Wang Mang usurped the Han and usurped the world laid down by Liu Bang.

Cao cào wants to usurp, Guo Jia wants to usurp, can it be described as usurpation?

Their territory was brought back by a city and a pond by themselves, and it had nothing to do with the Han family.

There are no soldiers in the hands of the Son of Heaven, no officials under the Son of Heaven, and no money and food provided by the Son of Heaven.

It can be said to rob, it can be said to rob, but it is by no means stealing and stealing like Wang Mang and Sima Yi in history!

The rivers and mountains left by Liu Xiu, the emperors after Emperor He, which one is not a puppet? The emperors who can't stand up, the emperors who have never defeated the country with their own strength, can only be puppets!

Up to now, the Han dynasty has been in decline for 20 years, and the concept of the Han dynasty in the hearts of the new generation of people has long been diluted.

Guo Jia belongs to the underground people, the older generation has been humiliated and unbearable, and the new generation only knows that the ruler is Guo Jia, even if Guo Jia is not the emperor, Guo Jia's status and authority in the hearts of young people is far higher than that of the puppet emperor known by hearsay.

The same thing happened in other princely territories, the Han family did not govern, had no power, and had long existed in name only, and the people's loyalty and support for the Han family gradually wore out with the passage of time.

Liu Xie burst into tears, and roared frantically at Cao Cào and Guo Jia: "If you have the intention of usurping the Han, why don't you kill me?" Come on, do it, kill me? So that the ambition of the wolf son who is waiting for you will be revealed to the world! ”

Kill Liu Xie, the orthodoxy of the Han bloodline will be broken, although the bloodline of the emperor of the Han Dynasty has always been impure, and it is common for emperors who have no descendants to inherit the position of the Ninth Five-Year Emperor among the clansmen, but today, once Liu Xie is dead, there are only two people who can be regarded as or recognized by the people of the world as the Han bloodline, one is Liu Biao who is not far from death, and the other is Liu Bei under the fence.

Changing the dynasty and killing the last emperor will definitely leave a bad reputation in the history books, especially since the emperor himself did nothing wrong, since Liu Xie ascended the throne, he has no chance to be a faint monarch, kill him?

There are two kinds of regime change in a revolution, one is rebellion, and the other is peace, rebellion means killing and bloodshed, and peace is negotiation and bloodshed.

Cao Cào's arrangement for Liu Xie has long been well understood.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, Prime Minister Cao Cheng will not kill you."

Guo Jia's tone was slightly sarcastic.

Cao Cào did not deny it, his face was a little heavy, staring at Guo Jia.

"Lone asks one last time, Guo Jia, do you have to fight Lonely?"

Guo Jia didn't answer, and stretched out his hand to point, it was the coffin on the ground.

Go without saying.

Cao Cào raised his head and took a deep breath, nodded, and then turned his gaze to Liu Xie, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, Lone owes the Liu family the name of a Son of Heaven, therefore, Lone will never be the emperor in this life!" ”

Liu Xie was dumbfounded, what did Cao Cào's words mean? He didn't get it.

Don't claim to be the emperor but want to usurp the Han?

Cao Cào took Liu Xie back with a horse, and Guo Jia looked at Cao Cào's back and sneered.

Cao cào coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, he used the banner of the Son of Heaven to fight for himself, and he had a clear conscience about everything else in the Liu family, only the name of the Son of Heaven was used by him.

Think about when Liu Xie was down, if there was no Cao Cào, maybe what would happen to Liu Xie.

"Don't be the emperor? Hum. ”

Guo Jia turned his horse's head and went back, sneering on his face.

Cao cào is not called the emperor, but is kept for his descendants to be called the emperor.

Sima Yi is not called the emperor, but he also keeps it for his children and grandchildren.

The wishful thinking of careerists.

When Guo Jia and Cao Cào returned to their respective positions, they gave the order to attack!

The drums were beating loudly, shouting and killing, and the soldiers and horses of the two sides rushed towards each other like a flood.

Heaven and earth change, and blood flows like a river.

The battlefield was open, Guo Jia stood on the chariot at a glance, and this time, his subordinates did their best, putting on a posture of wanting to swallow Cao Cào in one go.

Dian Wei led the tiger guard to advance from the middle, walking slowly but invincible.

Zhang Liao led the crossbow archers to attack from both wings, and the arrows rained down on the sky.

Other generals were also dispatched to join the battlefield continuously, and the investment of troops became larger and larger, and the speed of the Taiping army's advance gradually accelerated.

Cao Cào also looked at the situation on the battlefield, he was not in a hurry, and his generals were sent out to meet the enemy, but he got a strange order.

Fight and retreat.

You Guo Jia's main force to the north has achieved the goal, as soon as the war starts, give Guo Jia another victory, Guo Jia will be difficult to give up the good situation in the north.

The two armies fought, the Taiping army was unstoppable, Cao Cào's face was as usual, the troops sent to the vanguard were all old and weak divisions in the army, and his Jingrui troops were all in the rear army, not even in the main force of the Chinese army.

"Mingjin withdrew his troops and retreated to Luoyang."

Cao Cào turned the horse's head and rode towards Luoyang first.

As soon as Cao Jun's military order was given, the battlefield situation was more favorable to the Taiping army, Cao Jun ran backwards, and the Taiping army pursued and killed behind them, with stumps and broken arms all the way, and corpses scattered all over the field.

When the Taiping army pursued to the city of Luoyang, the suspension bridge of the Luoyang moat had been raised, and the four méns were tightly closed, and the city was tightly defended.

Only Zhang Liao appeared under Luoyang City, and the other generals were nowhere to be seen.

Zhang Liao looked at the eastern capital of the Han Dynasty, and recalled Guo Jia's military orders in his mind.

"Cao Cào must withdraw his troops to Luoyang to defend it, not to besiege the city, and withdraw his troops from Hangu Pass after a feint attack for three days, so that Yan Yan can set up suspicious troops in Wuguan and continue to disturb Luoyang."

At the head of Luoyang City, Zhang Jaw and Gao Ran stood on the city wall, and the two would never have imagined that after the two families started a war, it would evolve into such a result.

Cao Cào with the main force has quietly left from Luoyang East Mén, leaving Zhang Jaw 80,000 soldiers and horses, there are at least two years of grain reserves in the city, Cao Cào before leaving specially instructed Zhang Jaw, to Luoyang, Shanyang, Wancheng three places for the full momentum to hold the road of Guanzhong troops, if the enemy besieges the city, then Shanyang and Wancheng will have soldiers and horses to support the anti-encirclement and suppression of the enemy army.

What Zhang Jaw has to do is to hold on to Luoyang, so that Guo Jia is reluctant to Luoyang but can't make up his mind to withdraw the army.

Looking at Zhang Liao, who was leading the army under the city, he said loudly: "Brother Wenyuan, after a long absence, my brother's demeanor is still the same." But I wonder if my brother can break through this city so that he can ask for credit in front of your lord? ”

Zhang Liao rode out, looked at Zhang Jaw with his head held high, and smiled easily.

It seems that fate cannot be avoided.

"Jun Yi, ten years ago, Yuan Benchu was in Guanzhong and sank in the sand, have you forgotten? How? This time, if I attack you and defend you, do you want revenge? ”

Zhang Jaw smiled and said: "Victory and defeat are commonplace, how can a general be concerned about temporary gains and losses?" Brother Wen Yuan, do you want me to talk about the world here for the rest of your life? ”

"As you wish."

After Zhang Liao said that, he ordered the siege of the city, and the offensive and defensive battle of Luoyang began.

Cao Cào, who took the main force from Luoyang East Mén, went directly in the direction of Xuchang.

On the way, Cao Ren asked Cao Cào in confusion.

"Lord, why did you suddenly withdraw your troops from Luoyang with this fanfare? The last general does not understand. ”

Labor and mobilization are vain.

Cao Ren didn't understand, and the other generals were even more angry.

As soon as this battle began, Cao's army was defeated, and there were many casualties, although they were all old and weak divisions, but it was very demoralizing.

Cao Cào didn't care, raised his eyes to look south, and said lightly: "Luoyang left Jun Yi is enough to drag Guo Jia." Lonely, he wants to capture Jingzhou. ”
