The frail counselor you said, you fight against three heroes alone?

Chapter 121 It's time to find someone to take the blame

Xu County, temporary palace.

Hearing that the Son of Heaven had summoned him, Xi Yu followed his servants to the palace without haste.

The feeling of closeness to Liu Xie in recent days.

Xi Yu instinctively resisted, no matter what Liu Xie's purpose was in the name of his relative, it would not be a good thing for Xi Yu.

On the surface, being close to the emperor seems to be an extremely honorable thing.

However, the complexity of it can be seen by people with discerning eyes after all.

What's more, Xi Yu himself is very clear.

The 16-year-old Liu Xie looks like a teenager on the surface, but Xi Yu has never underestimated him.

After all, Liu Xie is the emperor of the big man.

What's more, a person who experienced Dong Zhuo's chaos, moved the capital along the way, and was later used as a puppet by Li Jue, Guo Si and others.

Have you really not grown up in your heart over the years?
The history books can only see that the other party is controlled like a puppet, but at the root of it, he just doesn't have the corresponding opportunity!
Now that the capital has been moved to Xu County, how does Liu Xie view Cao Cao and his own situation.

Perhaps, only he himself knows.

But after all, he was just a teenager, and some of his methods seemed too immature.

Liu Xie got close to him because he wanted to find someone to rely on!
It's just that he chose the wrong person!
Although Xi Yu was somewhat resistant to Liu Xie's win over, in fact, Xi Yu didn't have much opinion of him.

After all, it is the reason of the times!

After entering the side hall, Xi Yu bowed to Liu Xie.

When the latter saw Xi Yu coming in, he greeted him with a smile on his face. The gesture of intimacy was very obvious.

After all, this is the Son of Heaven, and the significance of making the Son of Heaven respond is self-evident.

Xi Yu sighed inwardly.

After all, the boy in front of him was too deliberate.

Probably because I was too uneasy after coming to Xu County, the role of Yang Biao and others seemed a little weak now after all.

Right now, Liu Xie is desperate to get help.

And he, Xi Yu, seemed to be a good candidate in Liu Xie's mind.

As if dealing with an errand, Xi Yu smiled on the surface, but dealt with Liu Xie with great reluctance in his heart.

He didn't leave the palace until noon.

Not long after leaving the palace, Xi Yu ran into Cao Cao who was coming from the other side.

It's like, waiting for him.

"Fengyi just came out from His Majesty!"

Seeing Xi Yu, Cao Cao took the initiative to come over and ask.

Hearing this, Xi Yu tilted his head and glanced at the other party: "Brother, is this also going to see His Majesty?"

"I planned to go and see it, but now I don't want to go!"

There was no concealment in Cao Cao's tone, what he said was extremely frank.

Xi Yu understood.

After all, Cao Cao's temperament is a little suspicious. Although it is not as obvious as in the later period, it is still somewhat obvious now.

He didn't hide anything, he just opened his mouth and told the reason why the emperor summoned him just now.

"Your Majesty seems to be trying to win me over. I think he just moved his capital to Xu County, so he feels a little uneasy in his heart!"

Xi Yu shook his head and chuckled.

Hearing this, Cao Cao couldn't help but smiled.

"Your Majesty, you have a lot of thoughts. It seems that Dong Cheng, Yang Biao and others have been admonishing His Majesty a lot!"

After all, Cao Cao didn't care much about a 16-year-old emperor.

The existence of Xi Yu made Cao Cao even more concerned.

If Xi Yu didn't stand by his side, for Cao Cao, he would have no way of knowing what would happen in the future.

It seems that after catering to the emperor, some things gradually began to change.

However, the Fengyi in front of him seemed to be the same as what he saw at the beginning.

Cao Cao couldn't help but feel a little relieved, but then he thought of the situation of Cao Hong and others, and couldn't help explaining to Xi Yu.

"Fengyi, I have reprimanded Zilian and others before, and I hope Fengyi will not take it to heart!"

Cao Cao took the initiative to explain, but Xi Yu just waved his hand.

"Yu didn't take it to heart. When it comes to this matter, after all, I feel a little bit wronged brother!"

"What about grievances?"

Cao Cao raised his voice.

But it's just a position of general, Xi Yu's remonstrance is right.

Today's Cao Jun is not suitable for war with Yuan Shao and others, and the so-called general is just a name after all!
If this name had been placed decades ago, perhaps Cao Cao would still be a little bit reluctant.

But now, in this short year, there are not a few people who have held Liu Xie hostage and proclaimed themselves generals.

This name is almost rotten now.

Besides, Cao Cao now has figured it out, what position does he need with the emperor in hand?
Today's Sikong position is enough for him to do many things.

"It's good that brother doesn't care!"

Xi Yu didn't say much, and Cao Cao next to him subconsciously glanced in the direction of the palace.

Liu Xie wants to help the Han Dynasty, but the ability of a young emperor is limited after all.

But Dong Cheng and others only cared about fighting for power and profit, without paying any attention to the current situation in the world.

For Cao Cao.

Now, he only needs to enshrine Liu Xie, the emperor.

He will do the rest!

Seeing Cao Cao looking in the direction of the palace, Xi Yu also turned his gaze.

Thinking of Liu Xie's obvious intention to win over, Xi Yu couldn't help but a figure appeared in his mind.

People from the old Liu's family used instinct to win people's hearts.

Whether it is Liu Bang, or Liu Bei, or even the current Liu Xie.

Not much difference.

And thinking of Liu Bei, Xi Yu then thought of Liu Xie's name as his relative.

But when it comes to relatives, Renlao Liu's own relatives are naturally closer than him.

or?

Let Liu Bei come over?
As for whether Liu Bei is a descendant of the Empress of Han Dynasty, although there are many debates in later generations, Xi Yu feels that Liu Bei is not enough to impersonate.

There are too many descendants of the Liu family.

Since the issuance of the Tweeting Order by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the descendants of the old Liu family have naturally increased from generation to generation.

But the title has been falling again and again.

In this day and age, it is not a big name.

In Liujia Village, where Liu Bei's hometown lived, if a brick fell down, which one was not a descendant of the Empress Han.

Even Liu Xiu from Guangwu Zhongxing did not have much higher status at the beginning.

Liu Bei's clan status in the Han Dynasty.

It was only after the rise of power later that the identity of the descendant of the Queen of Han was regarded a little higher.

When such an idea popped up in his mind, Xi Yu felt more and more feasible.

If you recruit Liu Bei to Xu County and let Liu Bei deal with Liu Xie, then he will naturally have a lot less trouble.

No matter how Liu Xie and Liu Bei recognize their relatives, or what.

Or he has no interest in making clothes and belts.

Thinking of this, Xi Yu turned his head and looked at Cao Cao in front of him.

"Brother, it seems that Liu Bei is still in Juancheng. Now that His Majesty is young and has no relatives, you might as well recruit him!"

Liu Bei?

When Xi Yu suddenly mentioned Liu Bei, Cao Cao suddenly remembered that there was such a person.

Before that, he placed Liu Bei behind Juancheng, and he didn't take care of him anymore.

Right now, I suddenly heard Xi Yu say this.

He subconsciously glanced at Xi Yu.

"Feng Yi found a relative for His Majesty?"

"Brother was joking!"

Xi Yu was a little helpless, whoever let Liu Xie get involved with him at every turn.

He didn't want to bear the name of this relative.

"I heard that Liu Bei was very stable in the past, since Feng Yi mentioned it."

"Then bring it to Xu County!"

Cao Cao didn't have any objection to Xi Yu's idea of ​​bringing Liu Bei to Xu County, on the contrary, he very much approved it in his heart.

In Cao Cao's view, Liu Bei is still a capable guy after all.

Now because of the emperor, Cao Cao has put his political focus on Xu County, and the original Juancheng has become a remote place.

Inviting Liu Bei to Xu County can be regarded as under his nose.

Even if the opponent has great ability, he can't make any waves.

"Brother, Liu Bei still has some abilities after all. Since he was recruited to Xu County this time, brother can't let him leave here easily."

Speaking of Liu Bei, Xi Yu couldn't help reminding Cao Cao.

After all, the future Cao and Liu are the biggest rivals after all.

Now that Liu is under the jurisdiction of Cao Cao, and he is on Cao Cao's side, there are some things that should be reminded or reminded.

Of course, he did not bluntly say that Liu Bei will be Cao Cao's biggest opponent in the future.

This must be said out loud.

If Boss Cao was not sure, he would not recruit Liu Bei to Xu County. Instead, he would send five hundred knives and axemen to smash Liu Bei's head overnight.

Xi Yu's impression of Liu Bei is not bad.

In his opinion, whether it is Cao Cao or Liu Bei, born at this time, sometimes, some things are not their choices.

It is the choice of the background of the times, the steel torrent of the general trend of the times, which engulfs the two of them to move forward.

In the end, come to two opposites.

Is there anything wrong with Liu Bei?
not at all!
Regardless of whether the benevolence and righteousness shown by the other party is true or not, what is recorded in the history books is that the other party has been practicing these two words all his life.

What about Cao Cao!
Some people said that he was cruel, and he massacred cities at every turn, causing a lot of killings.

However, when it comes to fundamentals, Cao Cao is not the kind of bloodthirsty person.

……

The two walked together all the way, and Xi Yu didn't care whether Cao Cao took Xi Yu's reminder to heart.

It should be reminded that what choice Cao Cao will make is his own subjectivity.

Before they knew it, the two had arrived at the Xu County Government Office.

"I've seen Sikong, I've seen Da Si Nong!"

After the emperor's move of the capital was decided, the original government office in Xu County also expanded a lot.

When Xi Yu and Cao Cao arrived at the government office, the small officials passing by the door hurriedly greeted them.

Entering the government office is a long winding corridor, and there are not a few officials walking in the corridor at this time.

Seeing Cao Cao and Xi Yu coming in, the people in the corridor consciously stood aside.

The two passed through the corridor and arrived in the main hall of the government office not long after.

"Minggong, Fengyi, you are here!"

In the main hall, Xun Yu sat in front of the table at the side and was reading the memorial. Seeing the two people come in, he took the initiative to say hello.

The voices who were discussing things at the side also stopped.

The two nodded, and Xi Yu raised the corners of his mouth slightly when he saw the pile of letters piled up in front of Xun Yu that had been completely replaced by paper.

Nowadays, the scale of paper has formed mass production.

The bamboo slips that originally recorded the text have been completely replaced.

Cao Cao sat in the first place by himself, Xun Yu raised his head and glanced at Cao Cao.

"Duke Ming, we were discussing the name change of Xu County just now. Now that the capital has been moved, the name of Xu County is no longer appropriate!"

Xun Yu took the initiative to speak, and heard that it was a matter of discussing the name of the imperial capital, Cao Cao nodded subconsciously.

"If you have any suggestions, you might as well tell them all!"

As Cao Cao's words fell, several new names of Xu County were mentioned in the main hall in an instant.

Xi Yu listened to these names, but did not hear Xu Chang's name.

Right!

Originally, the name change of Xu County had to wait until Cao Pi was in charge.

"You might as well change your name to Xuchang!"

Hearing the name proposed by the crowd, Xi Yu also remonstrated aloud.

Following Xi Yu's opening.

The word Xuchang then appeared in everyone's ears.

"Xuchang?"

Cao Cao read the word Xuchang from the corner of his mouth, and felt that the name Xi Yu mentioned was not bad.

The word Xu is taken from the original title of Xu County.

Chang means prosperity and vigorous development.

Sounds good too!

"Xuchang is not bad!" Xun Yu nodded, agreeing with the name.

When the people around heard the name, they didn't have much opinion.

The name that was originally disputed is no longer disputed.

"Okay, let's call it Xuchang!"

Cao Cao opened his mouth, and immediately decided on Xu Chang's title.

After the title of the imperial capital was decided, Xi Yu just listened to the rest of the matter.

The matter of Yuan Shao in the north has been temporarily settled.

Now the most direct problem is Yuan Shu in the south. Cao Cao has sent Cao Ren and others to fight against Yuan Shu.

It's not a big problem.

Others are some trivial matters in the new capital, as well as the problem of how to resettle the people since the beginning of winter.

The fire in the house was very hot, and Xi Yu felt drowsy from listening to it.

At the same time, Cao Cao also issued an edict to let Liu Bei enter Xu County to meet the emperor.

……

Juancheng, within Liu Bei's residence.

After the center of Cao Ying moved to Xu County, Sun Qian, Mi Zhu and others began to have more contacts with Liu Bei.

Everyone wanted Liu Bei to leave Juancheng, but it was a bit troublesome to do this.

It's just that they didn't wait for a plan to be discussed.

The edict summoned by the emperor of Xu county had already arrived in front of Liu Bei.

"Your Majesty summoned me?"

After receiving the emperor's edict, Liu Bei was somewhat caught off guard.

Right now he is under the control of Cao Cao, and the time is not too long, but under such circumstances, he can't do anything.

Like a bird in a cage.

Originally, Liu Bei had planned with Sun Qian and others how to leave Juancheng.

However, before the plan was implemented, the emperor's edict was ushered in now!

"Brother, let me see, there is no need to accept this edict. Let's go straight out of Juancheng and head south!"

Seeing the edict, Zhang Fei beside him yelled directly.

Guan Yu did not speak.

This is the emperor's edict. Although he knows that this may be Cao Cao's intention, there is no way to refuse such an edict.

The ideal of their group is to help the Han family, how can they refuse if the emperor invites them.

Liu Bei was a little silent, but Sun Qian, Mi Zhu and others who came up were in a different mood.

After the emperor summons and meets Liu Bei, he will definitely be rewarded.

On the surface, it seems that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages after all.

Today's Liu Bei's reputation is still somewhat shallow compared to the entire Han world.

If there is an endorsement by the emperor, the benefits to Liu Bei are naturally self-evident.

But there are also downsides to this.

That is, once Liu Bei enters Xu County, he may be even more in a dilemma than staying in Juancheng before.

Once in Xu County, Liu Bei can't just leave if he wants to.

What's more, the place where the Son of Heaven is located is itself a complex whirlpool.

"My lord, this matter is not too bad. Since the Son of Heaven has summoned me, my lord may not be able to refuse, and this time the Son of Heaven's call will definitely increase my lord's reputation!"

Sun Qian remonstrated, and Mi Zhu, who went up, nodded accordingly.

Although the previous Liu Bei was Xuzhou Mu, this title was never recognized by the emperor and the court after all.

The title of governor of Yuzhou is insignificant to all the princes in the world.

What's more, Yuzhou is not under Liu Bei's control at all.

Tao Qian played his role as the governor of Yuzhou, which has no reputation.

If the emperor summons him, Liu Bei's status will inevitably rise with the tide.

The growth of Liu Bei's status means that the future will inevitably be broader.

Next to him, Sun Qian and Mi Zhu stared straight at Liu Bei.

Zhang Fei is careless.

Liu Bei's mood at this time is a little complicated.

He knew that once he left, he would completely become a bird in a cage, and it was still unknown when he would be able to get out of the cage.

Moreover, Cao Cao and others will certainly not let him go easily.

However, the emperor has already summoned him, if he doesn't go, he will naturally fall into the trap.

This is something that cannot be refused.

"Brother, why are you so hesitant? If you don't plan to go, my second brother and I will follow you out of Juancheng. When the time comes, the sky will be big and the earth will be big, so we won't have a place to stay?"

Seeing Liu Bei's sad face, Zhang Fei couldn't help but speak again.

After a pause, he continued.

"If the eldest brother decides to go, even if Xu County is a dragon's pond and a tiger's lair, so what, my second brother and I will accompany you to go, no matter what dangers, my second brother and I will be by your side."

Zhang Fei understood what he meant, and Liu Bei was a little helpless when he heard this.

Now that he knew that going to Xu County was not a good choice, how could he let Guan and Zhang follow him.

He knew that Cao Cao would not target him at will, but his body would inevitably be restricted.

And what he can rely on is Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Sun Qian, Mi Zhu and others.

"Yunchang, Yide!"

Liu Bei looked at his two brothers seriously, his expression at this moment was extraordinarily solemn, as if he had entrusted him with a heavy responsibility.

"I don't intend to take the two of you with me when I go to Xu County this time. If I go this time, brother will definitely be a bird in a cage and a fish in a pond!"

"The two of you can leave Juancheng here and go south. If my brother ever gets out of trouble in the future, he will definitely rely on you two!"

After saying this, Zhang Fei was going to refute, but Guan Yu reached out and pulled him.

Liu Bei looked at Sun Qian again.

"Gongyou, you are following Yunchang and Yide this time, and they still need your help!"
