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

Chapter 228 Xi Yu was accidentally awarded, Yuan Shao wanted to fight Cao Cao

However, what Xi Yu did not expect was that the common people and Confucian scholars did not doubt the truth of what Xi Yu said, but were convinced.

The people even beat gongs and drums.

Xi Yu's carriage came to the gate of the city, and Xi Yu stepped out of the carriage. At this moment, his legs and feet couldn't help but feel a little weak.

Seeing Xi Yu's "weak" appearance, the mighty general who beheaded Lu Bu, his feet were a little weak at the moment, and they immediately thought that the "demon" was very vicious. Xi Yu went to suppress this time, and he must have gone through a lot of dangers !
"grown ups……"

Zhuge Liang and Guo Jia stood at the head of the officials. At this moment, seeing Xi Yu returned safely, Zhuge Liang couldn't hide his excitement, and said loudly, "My lord, regardless of the danger, went alone to suppress the evil spirits with merit and virtue, so as to strengthen the destiny of our great Han country! "

"Such a great achievement that is beneficial to our fellow citizens, the emperor has ordered to announce to the world that he will be promoted to Yushi Zhongcheng, and [-] households will be added to the city!"

"Kong Ming, are you serious?!"

What Zhuge Liang said made Xi Yu almost fall off the carriage in shock. He strode up to Zhuge Liang and said in shock, "Your Majesty knows about my suppression of demons?!"

I used the excuse of suppressing demons and eliminating evil, but actually went to soak in the hot springs. It was really suspected of doing business for personal gain. Who would have thought that even Your Majesty would know about this matter? !
What shocked Xi Yu even more was that His Majesty announced it to the world, letting everyone in the big man know about it. If the truth is known to the world, the consequences...

The more Xi Yu thought about it, the more angry he became, and asked in a deep voice, "How does Your Majesty know about my suppression of demons and evil this time, and who did it?!"

Guo Jia stepped forward, bowed deeply in front of Xi Yu, and said, "My lord, we know very well that you are indifferent to fame and fortune, and this time, you took the risk alone for the sake of the people of Xuzhou and even the fate of the Han Dynasty. Such a feat of sacrificing one's life for righteousness , of course it should be known to the world.”

"To facilitate this matter, Mr. Cao Ang has spent a lot of effort."

Hearing this, Xi Yu thought to himself: Cao Ang, Cao Ang, I love you so much in vain, what can I do about this matter!
"It's really disgusting."

Xi Yu was very displeased: Originally, this time he wanted to take a vacation in a hot spring in the name of eliminating evil, so as to relax, and he didn't want anyone to know about it.

It's good now, after Cao Ang made such a fuss, he actually made a emperor Zhao, and let the world know, if people know the truth...

Xi Yu was very angry: I just want to relax quietly for a few days, but can't I fulfill such a small wish?

But the matter has come to an end. For everyone, it is a great joy for Xi Yu to be promoted to an official position and to receive such an award from the current emperor. Xi Yu dare not be too displeased, otherwise it will definitely attract suspicion from others .

In the end, Xi Yu returned to the government office under the envy of everyone.

Wherever he went, the common people cheered and watched, many people envied Xi Yu's current status and status, and many people even lowered their heads and whispered.

Cao Ang had already been waiting for Xi Yu to return at the gate of the government office. When Xi Yu came to the gate of the government office, Cao Ang immediately bowed deeply, "Uncle, you have worked hard these days. For the people of Xuzhou and the genius of the great man, you have lost a lot of weight." .”

"Ang'er, I heard that you were the one who asked for a reward in front of His Majesty for me?"

Seeing Cao Ang standing at the door, Xi Yu immediately asked.

"Uncle, compared to your great feat, this is a trivial matter. You don't need to worry about it, and you don't need to be grateful to me. This is the reward you deserve."

Cao Ang thought that Xi Yu wanted to thank him, so he said very modestly.

"Uncle, I also take advantage of this to make Xuzhou more famous. In this way, there will be more educated people and capable people from all walks of life coming to my Xuzhou. This will be great for Xuzhou and even me. Good thing."

Seeing that Cao Ang was very proud, the corners of Xi Yu's mouth twitched, and he thought to himself: "You still want me to thank you?"Cao Ang, Cao Ang, I can't wait to slap you until you cry!
I just want to soak in a hot spring in peace, but you are good enough to make His Majesty give me an announcement. Once the world knows the truth, where will I be?

Xi Yu sighed heavily, but he could only keep all the words in his heart.

At this moment, Xi Yu was very disappointed, and slowly approached the government office.

The rest of the carriages began to unload, and then went home separately. Lu Lingqi and Diao Chan returned to the mansion in the city with a group of guards. Fortunately, the place where the two settled was not far from the government office.

Thinking back on this trip with Xi Yu, Diao Chan felt nostalgic in her heart: Mr. Xi is tall and tall, even more handsome, more elegant but still elegant, such a man is really rare.

Thinking of these, especially those few nights with Xi Yu, Diao Chan's heart skipped a beat, feeling very restless.

"Xiao Niang, let's go, let's go home."

Lu Lingqi saw that Diao Chan seemed to be a little absent-minded at the moment, so she tried to say.

Lu Lingqi was even more worried about whether Diao Chan would be tricked by Xi Yu!
……

Soon, the news that Xi Yu suppressed evil spirits in the mountains and even received a reward from His Majesty, spread throughout the Central Plains within a month.

All states in the Central Plains seemed to know about this matter, and the people in the territories of the princes also talked about it one after another, and gradually accepted Xi Yu's appointment as an official and noble.

At this time, in Xinye City, after a year of hard planning and hard work, Liu Bei finally has [-] troops in reserve.

Liu Bei suddenly smashed the bamboo slip in his hand to the ground.

After a while, Liu Bei bent down to pick up the bamboo slips, and then patted the dust off with his robe. After doing this, Liu Bei threw the slips on the case.

At this moment, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu were cleaning their weapons attentively. Hearing what Liu Bei said, Guan Yu walked up to Liu Bei and said worriedly, "Brother, why are you doing something? Is there something that needs the help of the second brother? If the elder brother needs it, even Go up the mountain of knives, go down into the sea of ​​fire, I will definitely have no excuses!"

Liu Bei looked at Guan Yu, and sighed, "Oh, the second brother doesn't know something, and Xi Yu started playing tricks again, playing tricks on the people..."

At this moment, when Liu Bei was speaking, his tone was filled with a sense of powerlessness, and he suddenly felt...

He seems to be on the verge of finishing it many times, but is always one step ahead.

Up to now, he is still a bachelor!
"This...if that's the case, wouldn't all my big fellows fall into Xi Yu's hands?" Yu Yu frowned, not knowing what to do.

"Brother, can you take this seriously? Now the emperor is really in the mud in Xuchang?"

"How can I deceive you as a brother? Second brother and third brother, is it possible that the two of you also doubt me?"

"Xi Yu, I saw him with my own eyes at the beginning, so I planned to escape from Xuchang, and I wanted to stay away from Cao Cao."

Although Liu Bei was very calm on the surface, he secretly said in his heart: Didn't I just deceive the second and third brothers in this way back then.

Although Liu Bei knew that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had a deep brotherly affection for him, but Liu Bei also knew how to give Guan Yu and Zhang Fei real power, and it would be better to develop later.

"If the truth of the matter is as the elder brother said, why did the Son of Heaven issue this edict?" Guan Yu asked puzzled.

"Second brother, this matter is so obvious, it must be that Xi Yu and Cao Cao coerced the emperor into doing it!"

Zhang Fei was very excited and said loudly.

"Second brother, if you think about it carefully, if I were Cao Cao and I was about to start a war with Yuan Shao, I would naturally be willing to do something that seems to be for the fate of the Han Dynasty, and I would definitely be willing to do something for the fate of the Han Dynasty."

"Xi Yu must just want to take risks alone. Seeing that there is an opportunity in front of him suddenly, such a good thing, of course he will follow the trend."

After all, Zhang Fei sighed for a long time, with a complicated expression on his face.

Hearing what Zhang Fei said, Guan Yu couldn't help but sigh aside.

With the help of Xi Yu's incident, Liu Bei simply vented out the long-suffering anger in his heart, and even encouraged him, "You two virtuous brothers! Although the situation is difficult, we must not underestimate ourselves!"

"It is the heavy responsibility on our shoulders to support the Han Dynasty. Now that we have enough soldiers, horses, food and grass, we have time to go to seek famous men from Nanyang, and at the same time, find some military advisors if possible.

However, when Zhang Fei heard this, he was very reluctant immediately, and even complained, "Brother, according to me, let's stop wasting time."

"Think about it, how many times we've been here, but we still can't find anyone. Now that the reeds in Nanyang Mountain are basically empty, where are we going?!"

"However, there is one thing. Brother, have you ever noticed? Now, Confucian scholars, famous scholars, and talented people from the gentry are all going to Xuzhou!"

"If we go to Xuzhou like this, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find Ruyi advisers and generals."

Liu Bei didn't take it seriously, and said with a light smile, "You two virtuous brothers, you must not talk like this."

"I, Liu Bei, have never believed in the theory of destiny. I firmly believe that as long as the three of us work together and work hard, we will definitely get the help of the Ruyi army."

But although Liu Bei smiled lightly on the surface, he hated Xi Yu very much in his heart: just because of Xi Yu's implementation of a series of measures, more than half of the talents of the big man now go to Xuzhou where Xi Yu is located.

The other half of talents are with Yuan Shao!

There are still some talents who are in the land of Jiangdong.

Liu Bei groaned secretly in his heart: Can't the two virtuous brothers leave some thin noodles for me? !
These days are so bitter!

At the same time, almost all celebrities in Xinye and Jingzhou were shocked by Xi Yu's feat!

Among them, naturally not everyone believed that Xi Yuzhen was supposed to suppress demons and exterminate evil spirits. Those who had studied Confucianism would naturally not believe such a mysterious statement.

From their point of view, Xi Yu's actions are nothing more than a method: adding destiny to one's body.

For example, when Chen Sheng and Wu Guang shouted during the uprising, "the princes and generals are better than each other", such bold words will surely ignite the fighting spirit in the hearts of the people.

Chen Sheng and Wu Guang are nothing more than using this method, using the power of demons and evil spirits, to ensure that the resistance is ordered by heaven, and it is naturally justified.

When the Emperor Gaozu killed the White Snake to revolt and named him the White Emperor, it was also the fate of the gods, and only then did the people willing to swear to die.

In today's world, Xi Yu is the uncle of the emperor, on behalf of the emperor, Xi Yu travels to evil places, suppressing the evil by himself, and turning evil into auspiciousness!
This matter is very similar to the matter of first robbing Chen Sheng, Wu Guang and Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty.

In this way, in the eyes of the majority of Confucian scholars: Xi Yu has far-reaching strategic vision and extraordinary intelligence, so his status in the hearts of Confucian scholars has become higher.

……

Jizhou, the land of Yecheng.

Yuan Shao also learned about Xi Yu's suppression of evil spirits and promotion of officials and ranks. Yuan Shao immediately summoned Xu You, Guo Tu and Tian Fenggao's counselors overnight to discuss countermeasures in the government office.

"Xi Yu, this person is really lucky! It's amazing to find such a good opportunity! But, how did Xi Yu find such an opportunity?"

"I never expected that Cao Mengde would get such a strange person! Moreover, if Xi Yu can do the task of suppressing demons and eliminating evil, then Xi Yu is absolutely terrifying!"

After finishing speaking, Xu You stretched out his hand and gently pulled at his beard, his face was full of thoughts, his eyes kept rolling, and he was very flustered.

"My lord, in my opinion, there is nothing we can do about this matter now. We have already lost the initiative. At this moment, we should start a war with "Cao Cao"."

"If there is any further delay, I'm afraid we will suffer more losses."

"My lord, it is absolutely necessary, absolutely not to start a war with Cao Cao."

Tian Feng immediately retorted, "My lord, our soldiers and horses are not strong enough now. If we rashly start a war with Cao Cao, we may fall into a stalemate, which will be very bad for us..."

"This statement is wrong. In the current situation, we must immediately start a war with Cao Cao, otherwise, we will fall into a passive situation, and if this matter is delayed, I am afraid that all Confucian scholars and scholars in the world will run to Xuzhou..."

Xu You's face is very heavy at the moment, he knows that this matter must be argued with reason, if it is delayed, with Xi Yu's current development speed, the Confucian scholars in Jizhou will soon be completely lost, and by then, Jizhou No one will be available.

Once the situation got to that point, Yuan Shao's advisers and generals would only decrease but not increase. The situation was very dire.

Tian Feng also argued hard and retorted, "No, you must not declare war with Cao Cao!"

"Right now, our food supply is not sufficient, and it has only been less than a year since we conquered Youzhou, and our financial and military strength have not yet fully recovered. Now we are rushing to war against Cao Cao. How will we fight this battle?"

"What's more, Xi Yu under Cao Cao's command has far-reaching strategies, and there are many capable men and strangers under him. Cao Cao also coerced the emperor to command the princes. Now the whole world of Han is almost under the control of Cao Cao."

Tian Feng was very opposed, "If we really start a war with Cao Cao, once we lose the first battle, the situation will become very dangerous. I'm afraid that the current city will belong to Cao Cao. My lord, please think again..."

"Tian Feng! You are the lord's counselor. You should have offered advice and suggestions for the lord's victory, but you have strengthened the ambitions of others and destroyed your own prestige. Before the war started, how could you expect the lord to lose?!"

Not long after, Xu You and Tian Feng got into a fight, and even got into a big fight.

Yuan Shao was very upset, Guo Tu, Ju Shou and others just kept silent, they were very worried that if they were not careful, they would be suspected of forming a clique for personal gain, so they never stepped forward to dissuade Xu You and Tian Feng.

Furthermore, from the perspective of Guo Tu, Jushou and others, it is okay to declare war with Cao Cao, or not to declare war with Cao Cao. Anyway, both are reasonable and unreasonable, but they will not easily support either side.

Now Xi Yu has caused a lot of trouble for Yuan Shao in Jizhou.

At this moment, Yuan Shao also felt that the main battle party had his reasons, and he did not agree with the party that started the war with Cao Cao, but Yuan Shao also agreed with the war with Cao Cao. If the current situation continues, the future situation will face him Absolutely unfavorable, instead of wasting it, it is better to cut the mess quickly and make a quick decision.

If they win the battle, they will also have the opportunity to recuperate and recuperate, and they can also take advantage of the trend to win the land of Yanzhou.

This matter may seem troublesome, but at this time Yuan Shao's strength is comparable to Cao Cao's. The key to who can win in the end lies in the first battle.

"Okay, let's wait until we sleep enough to be noisy."

With a sullen face, Yuan Shao glared at Xu You and Tian Feng.

"There is no need to say more about this matter. Cao Cao and I have been helping each other since the beginning of the army. After he captured Yanzhou, the relationship between me and him is no longer as friendly as before."

Yuan Shao couldn't help recalling the past with Cao Cao. After a long time, Yuan Shao let out a long sigh, his face full of melancholy, "Later, Cao Cao got Xuzhou and won the support of the local people by promoting the benevolent government advocated by Xi Yu. Now, Cao Cao and I We are already strangers, and the old friendship no longer exists..."

"Besides, Cao Cao and Xi Yu, facing the refugees who fled from Jizhou, are like their own people. When typhoid fever is raging, they don't care about their lives and go to treat them. In this way, the rift between me and Cao Cao is even deeper!"

Yuan Shao took a deep breath, and said with a firm expression, "Now, Cao Cao and I are bound to fight. This matter is inevitable. In this case, I have made up my mind to go to war with Cao Cao!"

"Where is Chen Lin!!!"

At this moment, Yuan Shao's heart was full of pride, and he looked at the underground counselor with a serious expression on his face.

Suddenly, out of a group of counselors came out a proud and calm man, who came to Yuan Shao, bowed deeply, and saluted with both hands.

This person is Chen Lin.

"My lord, Chen Lin is here."

Seeing this, everyone knew that this battle was inevitable.

"I order you to draw up a call to action against thieves! I have made up my mind. After the beginning of spring next year, I will fight against Cao Cao!"

Xuchang.

"boom!"

There was only a muffled sound, and Cao Cao threw a bowl of rice on the desk again!
"Hehe, Yuan Shao actually started a war with me?! Hahaha! It's really unexpected!"

Cao Cao laughed loudly, his heart was very excited, he walked back and forth several times, satisfied with his expression, "I have waited for this moment for too long, "give me an order to start a war with Yuan Shao immediately! "

"Haha, this proclamation is really... Come here, send a copy of this proclamation to Mr. Xi, and tell him that Yuan Shao will soon openly fight against the Lord!"

At this moment, Xun Yu's face was full of excitement.

But although Cao Cao is nothing to be afraid of now, there is one thing in this call to caution.

This call to action can be described as a verbal criticism of Cao Cao.

The article first mentioned that Cao Cao captured Xuzhou in the first place, borrowing his father's experience, and said that Cao Cao's father was an eunuch, and then mentioned Cao Cao's ancestors. Take it out and eat it all.

There is also one thing mentioned in this proclamation, that is, Cao Cao put the emperor under house arrest in Xuchang, and controlled the Han Dynasty by himself. Cao Cao's move is a big rebellion. If Cao Cao's rebellion is tolerated again, it will be
Let the Han family be ashamed, in order to prevent Cao Cao from betraying the Han family, Cao Cao must be crusaded now!

The implication is that Yuan Shao's war against Cao Cao this time is an act of righteousness to help the Han Dynasty!
