Li Hui was determined to continue to go east, there were few of them, and those who fought or not did not have a big impact on them, as long as they did not encounter thousands of troops and horses head-on, Li Hui could cope with it.

Saying goodbye to Fan Chou, several people went straight to Luoyang. As soon as I arrived at Hangu Pass, I was stopped by someone. It turned out to be Xiahou Yuan. As soon as he saw Xiahou Yuan, Li Hui shouted loudly under the city: "General Xiahou, under Li Hui, open the door quickly, I have something important to discuss with General Cao." ”

Xiahou Yuan did not order the door to be opened, looked at a few people behind Li Hui, and replied: "It turned out to be General Li, please forgive the official for being rude, Lord Cao has an order, no one is allowed to enter the customs, and please wait for a few days, I will send someone to Xuchang to inform Lord Cao." ”

Li Hui is so angry! Little Xiahou Yuan took chicken feathers as an arrow. But I was very helpless, I only had a few followers, and I couldn't attack the city at all, so I could only endure this breath. Li Hui had no choice but to find a random place to settle down outside Hangu Pass and wait for Xiahou Yuan to ask Cao Cao.

After waiting for five days, Xiahou Yuan personally went down to invite Li Hui. When Xiahou Yuan saw Li Hui, he hugged his fists and said, "General Li, forgive me, Lord Cao is very busy, and he just sent someone to send an order to ask General Li to go to Xuchang." ”

Li Hui was "escorted" by Xiahou Yuan's 200 soldiers and came all the way to Xuchang. Cao Cao laughed when he saw Li Hui: "General Li killed Dong Zhuo in Chang'an, which can be regarded as a great contribution to my Han Dynasty, Cao Mengde, I sigh to myself, please sit down." ”

Li Hui saw a scribe behind Cao Cao who kept looking at him. asked, "General Cao, why don't you see Mr. Xi?" ...... again? ”

When Cao Cao heard the name of Xi Zhicai, he was very sad, and sighed: "A few days ago, Mr. Xi was seriously ill, and the treatment was ineffective, and he has passed away!" But a generation of talents died like this, it really hurts me! ”

Li Hui hurriedly apologized. Cao Cao pointed to the scribe beside him and said, "This is Xun Yu, who has just defected to me, is a member of the Xun family of the Yingchuan Wang clan, and has the talent of the heavens and latitudes. ”

Li Hui saw that Xun Yu was good-looking, dressed in brocade and jade, and tied with a jade belt around his waist. Xun Yu came over and bowed to Li Hui and said: "Lord Li got rid of the traitor Dong Zhuo for my Han Dynasty, Xun Yu has long wanted to see the demeanor of adults, but I didn't expect to see him today, Lord Li is really a young hero!" ”

Li Hui waved his hand again and again, claiming that he did not dare. The crowd talked about the past and drank wine. Cao Cao asked: "I heard that after Dong Zhuo's death, Wang Yun once controlled the government, and then was defeated by Li Dao, Guo Yan and others, I don't know what Chang'an has become now?" ”

Li Hui said: "Although Li Dao and Guo Yan are not as brutal as Dong Zhuo, they are also snobs, since they have mastered the government, Your Majesty's life is worse than before, and now Chang'an City is completely a training ground, anyone who has soldiers can swagger through the city in Chang'an City, and all the courtiers are helpless." Li Hui actually shed two tears.

Xun Yu asked, "Could it be that none of the ministers around His Majesty dared to come forward and stop Li and Guo?" ”

Li Hui said: "Li Dao and Guo Yan have heavy troops in their hands, who dares to speak, dissatisfied with Mr., today's court is no longer what the first emperor was when he was alive!" ”

Xun Yu wanted to ask again, but Cao Cao hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, let's not talk about these things, what is the only reason for General Li to come this time?" ”

Li Hui said: "I also escaped from Chang'an, since I left Changshan, went to Luoyang, followed the generals to ask for Dong, it has been more than a year, and now I want to go back to see, although nothing has been accomplished, my own nest can't be given to people, right?" ”

As he was talking, a man with a sword hanging from his waist and barged in. Seeing Cao Cao, he said: "Lord, now Hanoi ......"

Before this person's words were finished, Cao Cao immediately said, "Zhongde, come and meet General Zuo!" ”

Cheng Yu was stunned for a moment, and when he saw Li Hui, he immediately took two steps forward, hugged his fists and said, "Cheng Yu greets General Zuo!" ”

Li Hui said to Cao Cao: "This is ......"

Cao Cao said: "This name is Cheng Yu, the word Zhongde, and he has just defected to me, but he is an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, although he is not as good as General Li, he is also a rare general under me!" ”

Li Hui nodded. Cheng Yu gave Cao Cao a color. Cao Cao said with a smile: "General Li will do a little bit, Cao will deal with some things, and he will come soon." ”

As soon as Cao Cao left, Xun Yu asked some more about Chang'an City and Emperor Liu Xie. Li Hui said it again, and Xun Yu, who listened to it, kept shedding tears.

When Cao Cao came back, Li Hui said: "Now I was going to cross Hanoi and return to Changshan, but Yuan Shao and Zhang Yang are at war, I'm afraid I can't go back." ”

Cao Cao smiled: "Okay, okay, I have some friendship with Zhang Yang, I can send someone to say to Zhang Yang, General Li can meet Changshan from Hanoi." ”

Li Hui was overjoyed: "Thank you so much, Lord Cao!" ”

Back at the post house, Zhang Xiu said happily: "This Cao Cao is not bad, he actually helped us dredge Zhang Yang, let us pass, now it will be much easier!" ”

Li Hui shook his head, looked at Zhang Xiu, and said with a smile: "Do you think Cao Cao is really so kind?" ”

Zhang Xiu was puzzled. Li Hui said: "Cao Cao knows that I have a grudge against Lu Bu, and he doesn't tell me about Lu Bu in Zhang Yang, listen to Fan Chou, Lu Bu is like a fish in water in Zhang Yang, and Zhang Yang has been put in the air, I'm waiting to go, what do you think Lu Bu will do?" This is Cao Cao's plan to kill people with a knife! ”

Zhang Xiu hurriedly asked, "Then why didn't the lord demolish him on the spot?" ”

Li Hui said with a smile: "Cao Cao thought that I didn't know about Lu Bu's affairs, so he had such a plan, since he wanted to send me to Lu Bu, I just couldn't let him succeed, so we would make a plan." ”

Zhang Xiu said: "Let's kill Lu Bu?" ”

Li Hui knocked on Zhang Xiu's head with a chestnut: "Can you beat Lu Bu, or can I beat Lu Bu?" Seeing that Lu Bu was afraid that he would only die, he Cao Cao was unkind to me, so he blamed me for being unjust! Li Hui's face showed a hint of sinisterness.

After living in Xuchang for a few days, Cao Cao led Li Hui to visit his barracks and warehouses, and kept saying: "Now that I have enough food and grass, as soon as the war between Yuan Shao and Zhang Yang is over, I will immediately go west, rescue Your Majesty, and return the capital to Luoyang." ”

Li Hui until, Cao Cao's words were not said to himself at all, but to his subordinates. Therefore, Li Hui perfunctory Cao Cao, and praised Cao Cao as the pillar of the Han Dynasty and the savior of the Han Dynasty. Cao Cao laughed.

Li Hui bid farewell to Cao Cao, refused Cao Cao's request to send troops to escort him, and took only his own retinue and went north from Xuchang to Hanoi. Cao Cao was afraid that Li Hui would escape halfway, so he personally sent Li Hui to the border, watched Li Hui cross the Yellow River, and then led his troops back.

Cheng Yu asked puzzledly, "Why does the lord care so much about Li Hui?" ”

Cao Cao said with a smile: "Li Hui is definitely a strange person, both civil and military, Wen Ke is comparable to Xun Yu, Wu Ke fights Lu Bu alone, such a character, wouldn't it be dangerous to stay by his side, so I sent him over, just to let those who hate him help us eliminate this trouble!"

"Oh! ......" Cheng Yu nodded.
