"Your Majesty, Your Minister... I'm afraid I won't be able to.."

"Don't say more, lie down in peace!"

When Liu Xie saw Guo Tu, who had not been to the court for a long time, he was so thin that he had completely lost his human form.

That withered appearance really made Liu Xie can't help but shed two tears.

There are not so many stories between him and Guo Tu, and it stands to reason that he shouldn't have any special feelings with each other.

The reason why he valued Guo Tu so much at the beginning was because Liu Xie needed someone to solve some things that he couldn't solve on his behalf.

The filth above the court, the situation where the wealthy families are everywhere, he needs someone who is proficient in this way to clear these troubles and problems for him!

And Guo Tu is undoubtedly this candidate....

Of course, Guo Tu has done a very good job over the years.

Not only during the Jingzhou War, he single-handedly helped him plan to swallow the elephant, not only allowing him to take the two places of Yizhou and Jiaozhou.

It also helped him win over the local forces in Yizhou in the first place.

It can be said that if there is no Guo Tu, even if Liu Xie can finally take Jiaozhou and Yizhou, his loss will make him feel suffocated.

This point, even Jia Xu has said many times.

Guo Tu can be said to have an ability that ordinary people can't compare to when it comes to speculating on people's hearts.

And Liu Xie has indeed relied on his ability over the years, which has made his position more and more stable.

In the face of such a situation, Liu Xie gradually became a little grateful for Guo Tu's feelings, and he was no longer in a state of using each other.

Now seeing this Guo Tu like this, Liu Xie's heart is really a little unspeakably painful.

"Mr. Gongze, you have to rest, don't think about anything.

I've already ordered Yoshimoto to bring many of the Imperial Physicians with him, and as long as they come, I'll be able to take care of Mr. Gongze's body..."

Liu Xie's words are natural, but whether there is a chance in this is not clear to him?

From the moment Guo Tu began to complain, Liu Xie had already arranged for the imperial doctor to come for treatment.

But what about even Yoshimoto?

He can't go back!

Old!

Two words are enough to shatter all the extravagant hopes of anyone.

Even if Liu Xie is the Son of Heaven and the most powerful man in the world, he can't change anything now, he can only watch all this happen in front of him.

Seeing Guo Tu become what he is now, there is nothing he can do in the end.

Looking at Liu Xie, whose eyes gradually became lonely, as Liu Xie's strategist and important minister, Guo Tu directly showed a relaxed smile at this time.

This kind of relaxed appearance, he doesn't seem to have a few times in his life.

With the support of his son, Guo Tu ignored Liu Xie's obstruction, forcibly sat up, and then leaned on the bed, so that he could continue to look directly at the Han Emperor in front of him.

"Please don't be surprised, Your Majesty..."Guo Tu bowed to Liu Xie, and then relieved himself a little or two in a cough.

Seeing Liu Xie's worried expression, he shook his head at Liu Xie again.

"Your Majesty doesn't need to be like this, birth, old age, sickness and death are just the normal state of people.

Guo Tu was originally a person who deserved to die, and now it is a blessing that he can still be by His Majesty's side.

Since God wants Lao Chen to fall under Jiuquan, then Lao Chen can't stop him, right? ”

"You old thing, at this time, why did you still say so much nonsense..."Liu Xie couldn't help but laugh after hearing Guo Tu's words.

Then looked at Guo Tu in front of him, and finally sighed helplessly.

"That's it... You're not a death-scared person, you old thing.

If I hadn't gone to Cao Mengde to ask for you, I'm afraid you wouldn't have said the first half of the words of surrender and resignation to Cao Mengde. ”

"That's nature, that little Cao thief, how can he make the old minister surrender to him?" Guo Tu couldn't help but laugh out loud at this time, but he coughed violently halfway through the laughter.

In the end, it was Liu Xie's continuous reassurance that made him relieved.

"Your Majesty..."At this time, Guo Tu's face was completely pale and bloodless, and the whole person was extremely weak, "Back then, the Cao thief wanted Lao Chen to come to His Majesty's side, he wanted Lao Chen to destroy His Majesty's foundation and restore the Yuan family!"

But where did this old thief think that the Yuan family in the old minister's heart had already died!

The old minister admitted that he did have some bad intentions when he followed His Majesty, and the old minister at the beginning..."

"Alright, don't talk about it!" Liu Xie interrupted Guo Tu's words, "I'm not a fool, how can I still not count in my heart back then?"

It's just that the public rule also said that it was just the past! ”

Of course Liu Xie understands some things, he not only understands, but even knows very well!

But he didn't feel like he was going on, it really didn't make sense to get to this point.

And Guo Tu looked at Liu Xie in front of him, and finally couldn't help but show a smile, and also nodded slowly towards Liu Xie, expressing his gratitude to him...

The two chatted for a while, and Liu Xie, who has always cherished time, pushed all his things this time, and then dealt with Guo Tu's affairs with peace of mind.

In the end, seeing that Guo Tu couldn't hold on, Liu Xie also offered to leave.

He told Guo Tu that he would come back to see him tomorrow.

But just as Liu Xie was about to get up after speaking, Guo Tu grabbed his wrist.

"Your Majesty... The minister may not be able to hold on, but the minister has a sentence... There was no evidence in the minister's mind.

But the minister has a hunch that this time in the battle of Jiangdong, I am afraid that Liu Bei and Sun Quan will unite again! ”

"Huh?" Liu Xie, who was already planning to leave, was stunned directly after hearing this sentence, and looked at Guo Tu in front of him and froze his body directly.

"Mr. Gongze..."

"Your Majesty doesn't have to be like this, the minister said, the minister doesn't have any evidence, it's just a feeling!" Guo Tu directly interrupted Liu Xie's words with a light cough.

Then he said to Liu Xie very seriously.

"This is also the reason why the minister invited His Majesty today, but he didn't say anything for a long time.

The minister has reached the point where the oil has run out, and if it is just based on speculation, I am afraid that His Majesty will make a mistake.

Therefore... The minister has not been speechless, because the minister doesn't know whether to say it or not....

We can't participate in this matter, and naturally we can't change it, and Your Majesty also knows that the current situation is very important to us.

Immobility is the greatest benefit.

But I can't wait, so the Cao family can't move!

This time, even if some soldiers and horses were damaged, they were only southern soldiers and horses, as well as Cao Ren's Central Plains army, and Cao Mengde's new army trained for many years.

The most important thing is that not all the soldiers and horses who were surrendered were killed, if Cao Mengde... No, if it's a little thief, you can put down your body.

Then this matter is not impossible to discuss.

If the Cao clan's troops and generals are all let back, then the Cao clan's power will be restored again..."

"Why are they doing this?" Liu Xie's brows furrowed even tighter at this time, "I seem to have found their thoughts, but... I don't understand..."

"The minister doesn't understand, this may just be the minister's delusion.

But if the situation is really as the minister guessed, then the battle in Jiangdong may not be worse than Jingzhou back then.

Your Majesty, you must be prepared. ”

After Guo Tu said this, he seemed to be really relieved, and then the whole person suddenly became decadent, and soon in Liu Xie's shocked eyes, he directly crooked his neck and fainted.

This startled Liu Xie, and then immediately let the doctor in.

But... Even after that, together with the people from the Imperial Doctor's Office, they still didn't make Guo Tu sober up again.

And it was this meeting with Guo Tu that made Liu Xie's eyes even more anxious and weird.

He knew that this matter was really more than what he saw....

"Come on, invite Jia Xu, Liu Ye, and Fa Zheng!"

"And.... Let the people from the Imperial Medical Department prepare it here! ”

"In addition. Invite Huang Quan and Zhang Song as well..."

"Order, I will go to Xichuan to inspect in the near future..."

Liu Xie not only gained confidence from Guo Tu, but also knew that there were some things that he needed to prepare well.

"By the way, bring me all the news from the Western Regions and the Northern Frontier.

I haven't heard much from them lately, so I don't know how they're doing now..."

Under Liu Xie's series of arrangements, this Weiyang Palace has also become lively again.

At the same time, the great battle in Jingzhou finally ended.

Liu Bei waited for Cao Cao.... Cao Ang's messenger.

When facing Liu Bei, who angrily reprimanded his old Wei king and the new Wei king, Zhong Yu, the envoy of the Cao family, was not angry, but just talked to Liu Bei indifferently.

At the same time, he proposed to be willing to redeem the generals of Cao Jun such as Yu Ban and his soldiers...

In the face of this request, Liu Bei of course showed sneer, but the Cao family took out enough benefits, and at the same time, he directly took out the situation in Jingzhou under Liu Bei's rule.

It was pointed out very sharply that Jingzhou can't afford to raise these surrendered troops now, and at the same time, it is almost impossible to resist.

People are displaced, and if they need to heal their wounds, they need a lot of food and grass.

In the face of absolute facts, Pang Tong finally "persuaded" Liu Bei and succeeded, so that the two sides reached this "deal".

After completing this matter, Pang Tong immediately resigned and handed over the rest of the finishing matters to Liu Bei himself.

And he came straight to Changsha County with Liu Bei's order.

This time... He's going to complete his third step plan.

"Soldiers... Follow me to level Jiangdong! ”
