It was getting late, and Zhang Liao and Chen Gong had already said goodbye and left.

Liu Chuang has made up his mind, and the two know that they can't change it.

Cao Cao this time, he targeted Liu Chuang and wanted to take Liu Chuang to Xu Capital to be imprisoned. Perhaps, as Zhong Xuan said, Cao Cao will not harm Liu Chuang's life, but he will never let the tiger return to the mountain. If Liu Chuang does not return to Beihai, the dragons of Beihai will be leaderless, and they will be chaotic if they persist for long.

He had a good idea, but he didn't expect that Liu Chuang had already made a plan.

It's just that if Liu Chuang is not there, Beihai Country will ......

Whether it was Zhang Liao or Chen Gong, they were all worried.

Liu Chuang went to Xudu, such as entering the tiger's den in Longtan. It's easy to get in, but it's hard to get out...... But the two of them were helpless.

The only thing that can be done is to do what Liu Chuang ordered.

Whether it is Zhang Liao or Chen Gong, they have completely surrendered to Liu Chuang at this moment, and it is not easy to make the two of them change their minds.

Seeing off Zhang and Chen, Liu Chuang sat alone in the gazebo.

Outside the pavilion, snow suddenly falls one after another, heralding the arrival of midwinter.

He looked at the snowflakes falling outside the pavilion, but his brain was spinning rapidly, trying to recall what happened in the four years of Jian'an in history.

Now it is November of the third year of Jian'an, and there is still a month to go, that is, the fourth year of Jian'an.

I vaguely remember that this year, Yuan Shao completely defeated Gongsun Zhan, occupied Youzhou, and unified the four northern counties.

At this point, he dominated Hebei, with strong soldiers and horses, and began to attack Cao Cao in Henan. Many people in later generations thought that the battle of Guandu began in the fifth year of Jian'an. In fact, the battle of Guandu kicked off four years before Jian'an. And there were many conflicts.

Cao Cao's deployment of the Battle of Guandu had already started in the fourth year of Jian'an.

It was in this year that the Beihai Kingdom was captured by Cao Cao, and then Cao Cao took Qi County, Dong'an and other places. Consolidate the right wing and form a containment on Yuan Shao.

That is to say, to Jian'an for four years, in order to fight against Yuan Shao. Cao Cao will definitely use troops against the Beihai State.

In memory, Cao Cao's use of troops against Beihai should be in the second half of the year.

If calculated in this way, Liu Chuang's plan to exchange Beihai Donglai for Liaodong and Liaoxi must be completed in the first half of the year, otherwise variables will occur.

Liu Chuang is not worried about this.

With Xun Chen's help in Hebei, coupled with the previous arrangements, Yuan Shao agreed to this request. It's not hard to think about.

The difficulty is. If he goes to Xudu. How do I get out?

Xu Du, who has been in Jian'an for four years, has anything happened?

Liu Chuang had to come up with a proper plan to ensure that Zheng Xuan and the others would attack Beihai before Cao Cao. Shun lì completed the exchange with Liaodong and Liaoxi. If this is arranged, if you go to Xudu. On the contrary, it can give Beihai Country more time.

It is believed that as long as Liu breaks into Xudu, Cao Cao will no longer regard Beihai as a great enemy in the short term.

As long as he relaxes his supervision and restraint on Beihai, then Zheng Xuanbuqi and the others can have enough time to transfer and arrange.

From this point of view, it is not without benefit for Liu to break into Xu Du.

But after entering Xudu, how can I get out?

This is a big problem...... It is believed that as long as Liu breaks into Xu Capital, he will be strictly guarded by Cao Cao. Leaving is not an easy task. However, there should still be an opportunity, but where is this opportunity? Liu Chuang felt quite a headache.

Four years of Jian'an, four years of Jian'an!

Liu Chuang stood up and slowly walked out of the pavilion.

The cold snowflakes fell down and landed on Liu Chuang's face, instantly turning into water droplets.

Wait!

Liu Chuang suddenly remembered something......

In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, there was a story of the edict of the cloth belt, and later generations had different opinions. Some people say that the edict was made up by Luo Guanzhong, and some say that it is true.

I remember that in his previous life, he also specially read the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, but there is such a record, saying that the Han Emperor had secretly ordered the general Dong Cheng of the chariot cavalry, the partial general Wang Fu and the captain of the Yue cavalry to punish Cao Cao. After the matter leaked, three people were killed. As for the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it is said that Liu Bei was also involved, and it is not clearly recorded in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but in the Zizhi Tongjian of the Song Dynasty, it is clearly stated that Liu Bei also participated.

I don't know about this, can you take advantage of it?

If Cao Cao had learned of the edict in advance, he might have started a killing spree, which would have made Xu Du panic.

When the time comes, there may be a chance......

However, Liu Chuang immediately denied this idea.

If he really told Cao Cao, he was afraid that he would cause even more trouble.

Cao Cao is not afraid of itching if he has lice, but if he puts it on Liu Chuang's body, with Liu Chuang's current qualifications and prestige, he will never be able to afford this kind of infamy.

Forget it, don't speculate about it.

However, if there is such a thing, it can be regarded as a political capital. You can also get involved if you can.

You must know that in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei relied on this edict to take advantage of the boss.

What Liu Chuang lacks now is this kind of political capital, and if he can obtain it, it can make up for his previous lack of fame and qualifications.

Thinking of this, Liu Chuang suddenly smiled.

At this time, I was still calculating and calculating, and I was really bad at learning now.

That's it, what if you just go to Xu Du? I believe that Zhong Xuan and Xun Yu will not sit idly by and watch Cao Cao harm him. Moreover, when the edict is issued, it must be made known to the world. When Cao Cao arrives, he must also throw himself into a rat trap, at least he doesn't dare to blatantly harm himself.

In that case, let's go!

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

After Liu Chuang's thoughts were cleared, he relaxed a lot.

It's just that he didn't reply to Zhong Xuan immediately, but secretly sent out Chen Gong and Lu Zhu to Tanglin Pavilion to prepare first.

Zhang Liao temporarily stayed in Gaoyou to confuse Cao Cao's ears and eyes.

Zhong Xuan didn't urge, because he knew that it would not be easy to decide on this matter. Don't say Liu Chuang, change to anyone. I'll think about it. Besides, there are still six days before the tenth day of the first lunar month, and there is no need to rush to urge Liu Chuang to make a decision.

一qiē. It's all going on in an orderly manner.

Liu Chuang showed a cold attitude towards Zhong Xuan, without any intimacy.

It's just the third day of Chen Gong's evacuation, and Liu Chuang is discussing with Zhang Liao. But suddenly got the news that Xiahoulan and Xu Sheng rushed to Gaoyou to kill Zhong Xuan at the post station.

Liu Chuang was startled, and hurriedly led someone to stop him.

Fortunately, it was the sergeant who reported in advance, and Liu Chuang blocked Xu Sheng and Xiahoulan outside the post station.

"What are you two doing?"

"Childe, don't listen to the dog thief's nonsense, if Childe goes to Xudu, it will definitely be nine deaths.

I am willing to live and die with my son, and after killing the dog thief. After breaking off for the child. Cover the childe's evacuation from Guangling. ”

"You two. Shut up! ”

Liu Chuang was furious, "Even the name of a dog thief and a dog thief, Zhong Miao is my uncle." How can you two be disrespectful to my elders and not let me go back. ”

He said. took Xu Sheng and Xia Houlan back to the county office.

"Xiang, you have always been calm, why are you so irritable this time?"

Xu Sheng said: "Gongzi is magnanimous and benevolent, and he doesn't want me to ruin my life, but Sheng has been deeply favored since he followed Gongzi, but he has not been able to make any meritorious contributions to you." If I go back like this, how can I be spared, and what face will I have to see the robes of the Beihai Kingdom. ”

"Yes, the prince treats Lan very well, since ancient times, how can there be a reason for a tribal person to be judged by the Lord?"

Xiahou Lan was even more excited, looked at Liu Chuang and said, "Childe, you must not go, otherwise, there will be danger." ”

"You know what?"

Liu Chuang said angrily: "Do you want me to go?"

I don't know, Xu Du is dangerous? But Cao Cao came to me this time. If I don't go to Xudu, and don't say that you will all bear the name of rebellion, it will be Beihai Kingdom, and you will also be ruined. Why did I work so hard for three years? Isn't it just trying to find a way out for everyone. What I need now is not for you to die, but for time to complete my plan.

Xiang, Hengruo, you are all the closest people around me.

When I go to Xudu this time, I need you to return to Beihai and stabilize the situation for me, instead of making noise here......"

Xu Sheng and Xia Houlan both closed their mouths.

After a while, Xiahou Lan suddenly said: "Childe, Elder Lan is nothing more than a way to fight."

It was useless to go back to Beihai Kingdom, so I went with my son and went to Xudu together. It is better to lead a horse and embellished stirrups for the son than to do nothing. ”

"I'll go too!"

Xu Sheng was stunned, and immediately reacted and shouted loudly.

"I can't go!"

"Huh?"

"After you go back, you have to protect your family, and you have to take care of the safety of the gentlemen of Nanshan Academy.

I don't feel at ease when I hand over these things to others, and only you can make me feel at ease. Xiang, you have been with me for three years, although your reputation is not obvious, but you are indeed the person I trust the most. Therefore, you must go back to Beihai Kingdom, only in this way can I deal with Cao Cao with peace of mind. ”

"But ......"

Liu Chuang's eyes widened, and when Xu Sheng came to his mouth, he swallowed it back.

"Heng Ruo can go with me...... In this way, you go to the Flying Bear Guard and select fifty foot soldiers, and then you will go to Xudu with me. ”

"Childe, with only fifty people, isn't it a little less?"

Zhang Liao listened to it and couldn't help but be a little worried.

Liu Chuang said with a smile: "With my uncle here, Cao Cao can't help me for the time being."

Besides, what's the use of me taking so many people there? There are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Cao's camp, even if he brings a few hundred people, it is useless. If you bring more people, you will fall behind. I walked with a horse and a spine to Xu Du, to see him Cao Cao, what can I do! ”

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++=

No matter how Zhang Liao and Xu Sheng persuaded them, Liu Chuang didn't want to bring too many people.

In the end, under Zhang Liao's persuasion, Liu Chuang finally changed his mind and replaced the fifty foot soldiers with fifty flying bear riders.

At the very least, it looks like it's going to be a little stronger.

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, there are still two days left before the time specified by Cao Cao.

Only then did Liu Chuang reply to Zhong Xuan and agreed to go to Xudu...... However, under the pretext of being busy with military affairs, he had to postpone it for three days before leaving for Huaiyin.

Zhong Miao felt that it was the work of those days or two. It was not a big deal, so he agreed to Liu Chuang's request.

Subsequently, Liu Chuang continued to dispatch troops, and on the tenth day of the first lunar month, he secretly sent Zhang Liao and Xu Sheng away. Head to Tanglin Pavilion and Chenden Elk Zhu to meet. At this time, according to the calculation of time, Sun Ce's sea ship should have returned to Tanglin Pavilion soon. Liu Chuang, under the urging of Zhong Xuan, could not continue to delay. So on November 12, he took Xia Houlan and Fifty Flying Bears to ride out of Gaoyou and report to Huaiyin.

At the same time, Cao Cao also got the news that Liu Chuang would come to Huaiyin.

A big stone in his heart finally fell temporarily, and he immediately ordered Zhu Ling to set off from Dongyang, go to Tangyi, and then occupy Yuguo. This is the country. It is located in the northwest of Zhenjiang City in the later generations. It is only eighty miles away from Jiangdu. It can come from morning to evening. The reason for occupying Yuguo is also to guard against Jiangdong Sun Ce. Previously, Cao Cao secretly contacted Sun Ce and asked him to flank Liu Chuang. Capture the county seat of Jiangdu. But now, Liu Chuang has given up resistance. and decided to follow him to Xudu in accordance with the order, so as to prevent Sun Ce from crossing the river and sneaking attack.

There is no faith between these princes, and they only talk about interests among themselves.

Sun Ce can turn against Liu Chuang first, and he is not a good person, how can Cao Cao not have any precautions against him?

It's just that Cao Cao didn't expect that Liu Chuang did far more simply than he imagined. He had already ordered Luzhu to withdraw from Jiangdu, and even gave up Guangling. In this way, the river capital has become an empty city, like an attractive piece of fat on the edge of the Yangtze River. Frightened, after Zhu Ling arrived in Yuguo, he learned that Jiangdu was already an empty city, and hurriedly led his troops to Jiangdu to garrison to guard against Sun Ce's sneak attack.

It's just that in this way, Zhu Ling has no spare strength for the time being, and he takes care of Lu Zhu and the others, and he also gives Lu Zhu and the others enough time to prepare.

On November 15 of the third year of Jian'an, the sea ship arrived at Tanglin Pavilion.

Chen Gong, who had already prepared, immediately took control of the sea ship and quickly boarded the ship.

By the time Cao Cao reacted, Chen Deng, Zhang Liao, Lu Zhu, Xu Sheng and others had already led Fei Xiongwei to set sail and leave the Tanglin Pavilion and sail into the sea.

If you want to send troops to pursue it, it is obviously too late.

At this time, Liu Chuang followed Zhong Xuan, all the way slowly and leisurely, and arrived outside Huaiyin City.

"This is a good calculation!"

Cao Cao gritted his teeth, with a strong killing intent.

That's right, he forced Liu Chuang to bow his head to him, but he didn't want to end up, or was tricked by Liu Chuang.

Lu Bu ran away, and even Lu Bu's troops were let go by Liu Chuang.

In a sense, Cao Cao's expedition to Xuzhou was also unsuccessful, which made him extremely angry.

It's just that when he saw Guo Jia with a smile on his face, he couldn't help but feel a little strange.

"Bonghyo, why are you laughing?"

"Don't you think that this Liu Chuang is a character?"

"What do you mean by that?"

Guo Jia said: "The lord doesn't have to be so angry, in fact, although it is a pity to leave Chen Gongtai, as long as Liu Chuang is taken, it will be considered a great success."

I heard that Lu Bu was seriously injured and no longer brave.

So when he was about to evacuate, he handed over all the soldiers and horses in his hand to Liu Chuang. As long as the lord holds Liu Chuang in the palm of his hand, he doesn't have to worry about those parts. After Liu Chuang was willing to break off for Chen Gong and others this time, how could Chen Gongtai and others serve Lu Bu again?

If you get Liu Chuang, Beihai will be determined. ”

After Cao Cao listened to Guo Jia's explanation, the anger in his heart suddenly disappeared.

Anyway, things have come to this point, and there is no other way for him to do it. If you can't send troops to attack the North Sea again, you will inevitably suffer heavy losses.

Moreover, Cao Cao was more anxious to return to Xudu, and did not want the battle of Xuzhou to continue.

From the end of August to the present, the battle of Xuzhou has lasted for two and a half months...... Cao Cao believed that if it continued, there would be chaos in Xudu. Taking Xuzhou and detaining Liu Chuang is not without gain for Cao Cao.

"In that case, let's go meet this breaker!"

Cao Cao suddenly had a strong urge to see Liu Chuang as much as possible.

At the beginning, Liu Chuang returned to his hometown, but in the end he had to leave his hometown and missed the opportunity with Cao Cao. After that, he rose rapidly and became Cao Cao's confidant. Cao Cao had heard a lot about Liu Chuang, but he hadn't seen it, and his heart was already full of curiosity.

At this time, Guo Jia will not object.

He also wanted to see what Liu Chuang looked like now, whether he was still as arrogant as when he was in Gaomi.

But at this time, I suddenly heard a report from the small school outside the door: "Sikong, the big thing is not good." ”

Cao Cao was standing up and preparing to go out, when he saw Xiao Xiao running in a panic, he couldn't help but feel a little unhappy. Now that the victory is in hand, why are you so panicked?

He frowned, and said in a deep voice, "What's the alarm?" ”

"Sikong, General Zhang led people to stop Uncle Liu Huang outside the city, it seems that he is going to fight Uncle Liu Huang."

"General Zhang?" Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and blurted out, "Which General Zhang?" ”

"It's the three generals under the Xuande public account, Zhang Fei."

When Cao Cao heard this, his face immediately sank.

"Liu Chuang is the imperial uncle of the Han family, and he came here under the edict of the Son of Heaven, how can Zhang Fei be so presumptuous?"

He was feeling a lot of pressure!

Previously, according to Cao Cao's idea, an edict summoned Liu Chuang into Beijing. But he didn't expect Xun Yu to invite the emperor to make an edict, which made Cao Cao a little constrained. If the edict is issued, Cao Cao will have enough ways to clean up Liu Chuang. But if it is an edict, it means that Liu Chuang was ordered by the Son of Heaven to enter Beijing, and if he dares to harm Liu Chuang, it is tantamount to ignoring the order of the Son of Heaven. With Cao Cao's current situation, he still needs the brand of the Son of Heaven to support the façade. In other words, at this time, Cao Cao could not really ignore the edict of the Son of Heaven.

This is also the effort made by the Yingchuan Township Party to protect Liu Chuang.

Xun Yu, Zhong Xuan and others can support Cao Cao and can support Cao Cao, but they will never let Cao Cao kill Liu Chuang.

This was also a compromise between the Yingchuan clan and Cao Cao...... We support you and support you, but you can't endanger Liu Chuang's life, this is also our bottom line.

Cao Cao knew this.

He even knew that Guo Jia, including Guo Jia, hated Liu Chuang to the core.

But in the face of the interests of the township party, Guo Jia will also safeguard the interests of the Yingchuan clan and make small concessions.

Not to mention, there are also Xun You and other cadres of the Yingchuan clan, even if Cao Cao wants to kill Liu Chuang again, he must also take into account the face of the Yingchuan clan.

This Zhang Fei dared to go to Liu Chuang's trouble?

If it is preached, it will be said that they have received my instructions, and they will be dissatisfied with me.

Not to mention anything else, including Guo Jia, after hearing the news that Zhang Fei went out of the city to intercept Liu Chuang, his face sank, and he also showed an unhappy look.

"Lord, Xuande Gong is so majestic!"
